|Kids come pouring in for weather-themed conservation camp
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Eighteen area students studied weather forecasting, constructed home weather stations, made wind chimes from recycled food cans and released weather current balloons at the free two-day camp held at Phillips County Event Center Tuesday-Wednesday, June 4-5, according to Denise Swanson, Haxtun Conservation District manager.
Jerry Miller, farm bill biologist, set the stage with the principles of conservation by Aldo Leopold. All things in nature are interconnected and are influenced by humans' actions.
Caleb Deaver works on his weather forecasting chart and determines the regions that have each climate.
With weather forecasting being the camp theme, various discussions and games on forecasting the weather were covered by Swanson, NRCS technician Tim Becker and soil conservationist Joe Crowder.
Each student made a home weather station consisting of a rain gauge, thermometer and wind sock. Observations were compared on the second day following the preceding evening rain shower.
Backyard Conservation Camp kids show off the weather stations they made to take home with them. The stations will collect precipitation, give the temperature and show wind direction.
Tornados, weather watches and warnings were a part of the program. This was especially important this year with the recent county sightings and the disasters in Oklahoma.
Each person wrote a note with return contact information and attached to a helium-filled balloon. These were launched into the northeast winds in hopes the person finding one would contact the conservation district with the date and place found to get an idea of the wind currents.
Beth Ritter, Julesburg conservation technician, taught signing of the alphabet and weather symbols. The young campers quickly learned their names and the signing for common weather events. This was followed with various weather games to become familiar with weather forecasting without gadgets, weather folklore and weather jokes.
9-year-old Havyn Powell closely watches the miniature tornado she made at last week's Backyard Conservation Camp.
One of the favorite activities was making a solar oven from the mini pizza box saved from lunch. The inside was lined with aluminum foil and a cellophane window was made in the lid and set out in the sun with a camper's staple of s'mores. Within 20 minutes, the chocolate bar had melted enough, the temptation was too much, and the s'mores were eagerly devoured by the happy campers.
Others helping with the camp were board member Renee Weis, soil conservationist Sherri Brandt, multi-county rangeland specialist Josh Saunders, Sedgwick County district employee Katie Stortenbecker and district conservationist Daniel Palic.
Over 150 students have attended the annual Backyard Conservation Camp since it began in 2007. It is held during the first full week in June each year.

I love this style picture album! It takes 4x6 pictures perfectly with a side window for a picture description. Holds plenty of pictures...I have 325 in both albums I have made. The size is just perfect to carry to show or to store on a book shelf. It is not large and cumbersome.

The Goalie's Anxiety at the Political Kick
http://www.mlgoodell.webs.com As the 2014 FIFA World Cup winds down to its final few games, let's reflect on what we've learned along the way. The most surprising thing, other than the fact that none of the stadia collapsed, is how politicized supporting the sport has become. The ideologically extreme MSNBC mouthpiece Chris Hayes mocked non fans for being wedded to antiquated ideas. "The aversion that some | Read More »

BETHESDA, Md. (WUSA) -- This Friday, Maryland becomes the eighth state where you can't talk on a hand held phone if you're behind the wheel.
And, if you are looking to go hands free by Friday, there are plenty of ways to take a call without touching your phone.
MORE: Decoding Hands Free Technology
"When it really gets down to specifics, it's gonna depend on the consumer," says Aaron Kirzner, Best Buy Mobile Team Lead.
At the Best Buy Mobile store at Westfield Montgomery Mall, there's a device for every budget. They start at $20 and go up to $130.
"You will notice things like a difference in audio quality, features like noise cancellation," says Kirzner.
But how different can they really be? Expect just a basic entry set for $19.99. Pay $10 dollars more and get better audio quality. And, for $39.99 Kirzner says audio quality is really starting to get to the mid range peak.
At $59.99, Kirzner says you can expect better battery life, audio quality and comfort.
MORE: 9NEWS NOW's Great Hang Up Campaign
And, as the prices go up, so the do the perks. The top of the line model for $130 gives you the ability to stream audio and even comes with a carrying case that doubles as an extended life battery.
Kirzner says the old saying is true: "You're gonna get what you pay for."
And, if you don't pay for a hands free device and you're caught talking on a cell phone in Maryland, you could end up paying for a ticket.
Starting Friday, October 1, the fine is $40 for a first offense and $100 if you're caught again. However, in Maryland talking on the cell while driving is a secondary offense; meaning, the police have to stop you for another traffic infraction first.

5th Annual Goodguys PPG Nationals Columbus Ohio - Columbus or Bust!Written on December 1, 2002 The Goodguys Invade Ohio
As has been said plenty of times before, summer fun doesn't stop when the 4th of July fireworks end, it just means the time has finally come to join the Goodguys at their huge midsummer bash in Columbus, Ohio. This year's 5th Annual Goodguys PPG Nationals was attended by more than 5,000 participating vehicles and was again one of the most enjoyable and largest shows on the Goodguys calendar, as well as one of the premier events of the automotive season.
After making our latest trek to Columbus we were delighted, as usual, at the awesome array of cool hot rod trucks and cars in attendance and at just how much fun we had. But then, it is a Goodguys event, and they're experts at hosting fun, laid-back gatherings that provide a little something for everyone.
If you're on the competitive side, you're more than welcome to have your vehicle judged for a possible Boyd Coddington Pro's Pick, one of the many Goodguys trophies, or maybe a CLASSIC TRUCKS Top-10 Award. Content to just cruise? No problem! The massive Ohio Expo Center offered plenty of room for cruising around. And if you got tired of driving, there were plenty of places to power park and show off your ride.
Of course, with over 5,000 vehicles on hand, there was a plethora of sights to see and fellow gearheads to bench race with. If that wasn't enough, you could always check out the swap meet, manufacturer's displays, and the car corral. As usual, the Goodguys also staged a variety of technical seminars covering subjects like chassis, suspensions, and air conditioning. Where else are you going to find such valuable (yet freely given) information?
With thousands of pre-'73 vehicles on hand and great weather blessing the entire weekend, capturing a bunch of cool classic trucks on film was as easy as pie. If you ask us, you owe it to yourself to check out this awesome summer celebration. And if you live within a day's drive of Columbus, we fully expect to see you there next year!

Our pal Bob Lathery made his way to Columbus behind the wheel of his in-the-weeds '48 Chevy. Bob and his cronies are staples at events all over the country, and he and his '48 rack up a pot-load of miles every season.Dan Frohlich's '57 Ranchero has the perfect stance and the ideal motorvation (a 5.0 small-block) for a way cool classic cruiser. Having owned more than my fair share of early Rancheros I just couldn't help but snap a shot to share with you.It was a good thing I left my checkbook at home on this particular trip. If not, I'd still be trying to explain to my better half just why I had to have Allen Mutert's pristine '64 Chevy. Allen's Chevy sports the perfect shade of blue, a set of polished Americans, and a 350/350 combo.Say what you will, but we think Tim Pieluch's '61 Corvair Ramp-Side is just plain cool. In fact, cool enough to perhaps institute a leisurely search for one ourselves.The '47 Dodge has to be one of the nicest body styles of early Mopars, and Lou and Linda Poleselli's Somerville, New Jersey-based example is one of the finest we've seen. The couple's pickup is powered by a 350/400 combo and looks just right sporting a quartet of steelies and trim rings.Paul Purtiman's two-tone blue '59 Apache drew a crowd all weekend. Perhaps it was its striking paint scheme, or its highly detailed 355-cube small-block, or even the knock-off centers on its slotted mags. Whatever it was that drew admirers, all walked away with smiles.Paul Hemminger's Tiffin, Ohio-based Smitty's Hot Rod Shop-built '58 Chevy was on hand for its debut and was a natural for a CLASSIC TRUCKS Top-10 pick. Paul's beauty was on the money with exquisite detailing and a plethora of awesome upgrades like an RB's Obsolete front frame stub, a potent 350/350 combo, and a lot of custom sheetmetal work.You may recognize Doug LaRue's hot-licked '48 F-1 from its full-length feature (and cover shot) in the May 2002 issue of CLASSIC TRUCKS. Though the pickup's odometer is sporting a much higher mile count then back when we first featured it, Doug's F-1 is still pristine and as cool as ever.Hot licks, custom bodywork, and wide whites--combine that with a '55 F-100 and you've got the formula for a Top-10 pick, in my eyes anyway. Bill Whetstone's chopped, pearl white "kustom" had all the right touches up to and including a frenched antenna and early Grand Prix door handlesLast time we ran into Rodney Payne he was drivin' a hot rod, primered, Tri-five GMC. At the time he told us it was just a daily beater and that his real classic truck was under construction. Well, we were bowled over when we spied this awesome, slammed '35 Ford--and even more so when we found out it was Rodney's! The '35 sports an LT1, air ride suspension, a ton of custom metal work, a glass-smooth black finish, and an eye poppin' Paul Atkins interior.
Orange you glad we picked this '48 Chevy for a Top-10? Well, its owner, Dave Hougham of Daytona Beach, Florida, sure is. Dave's cool cruiser is powered by a stout 350/350 combo and rolls on a quartet of 17-inch Americans.Jim Wasko's Altoona, Pennsylvania-based '47 Chevy sports a quartet of 17-inch Billet Specialties wheels, a custom console, and a dash full of Dakota Digital Gauges. A powerful 350 Chevy backed by a 700-R4 overdrivea tranny ensure that this classic cruiser goes as good as it looks.

GRAYSON, Ga. -- George and Kathleen Williams came home from shopping today to find out someone broke into their Grayson house. It was obvious from the moment they pulled into their driveway.
There was a pickup truck sticking out of their house.
"A little red pickup truck from across the street," George Williams said with a smile. "And it was driven by a 2 year old."
The pickup truck belonged to his neighbor directly across the street. Police said the neighbor was unloading something out of the back of the truck while his two year old son was in the cab.
"Just accidentally, the child was able to put the car in gear and it rolled down at a fairly slow speed across the street," said Gwinnett County Police Cpl. Jake Smith.
It was fast enough to go through an outside wall and two windows into the Williams' basement. Williams said it broke a gas line and a water line.
"I just wanted to make sure everybody was alright," he said. "Nobody was hurt and like I said, things can be fixed, people can't." The 2-year-old boy was not injured.
George and Kathleen Williams have lived in the home on Brocklin Drive for 38 years and have never had a catastrophic incident, not even a tree on the house, until this.
The neighbor across the street did not answer his door. If he's worried that George Williams would be upset, he's wrong.
"They didn't mean to do it," he said. "So it doesn't make any difference."

The next generation of wireless networks will include software defined radios, cognitive radios, and multi-radio systems which will co-exist harmoniously while operating over a very wide range of frequencies. Under the umbrella of the KNOWS project we are revisiting "classical" wireless networking problems and designing new solutions that incorporate and build upon recent advances in software and hardware technologies for networking over the recently opened white spaces spectrum.
Brief Description
The WhiteFiService APIs and web front-end can be accessed by clicking here.
Check out deployment pictures by clicking here.
The white spaces spectrum is fundamentally different from the ISM bands where Wi-Fi operates along three main axes. First, it exhibits spatial variation since a channel available at one node might be occupied by a primary user (TV, microphone) at another node in the network. Second, the spectrum is not contiguous. Some channels might be occupied by primary users hence causing the spectrum to be fragmented. Finally, there is temporal variation since an available spectrum might be occupied at a later time by a primary user, e.g. wireless microphone.
Given these challenges, we have researched several techniques to form networks over this part of the spectrum. In the first version of KNOWS we introduced the concept of Time Spectrum Blocks (TSB) as the fundamental unit over which two nodes could communicate. We designed a control-channel based medium access control protocol, called CMAC, for enabling nodes with different spectrum views to access the medium. Associated with CMAC we proposed and evaluated an algorithm, called bSMART, for efficiently allocating the spectrum to different contending nodes.
In the second version of KNOWS, we looked at the problem of setting up a base station in the white spaces spectrum. In this system, called WhiteFi, we eliminated the need for a dedicated control channel. In addition, we proposed a new technique, called SIFT, that enables nodes to rapidly discover base stations operating at different center frequencies using different channel widths by analyzing signals in the time domain. We proposed and evaluated a new metric, called MCham, using which the base stations choose the "best" chunk of the spectrum to operate on, where the spectrum chunk can span multiple channels. We have prototyped this system on Windows.

True or false?
I am so upset for deleting this, and mostly your wonderful comments...
Best things just happen once, what can I say?
Whatever, here we go again!
that's so sad! I almost did that once! :( Hopefully you'll get all the promotes & comments back... since it's awesome! :)
I love this!
Thanks to both of you :) Deepti, I miss the conversation underneath this post... I enjoyed it immensely and most people spent quite some time to write down these words. Once more, sorry all! :(
Efi, this piece actually affected the way I think about art(this week). And I had it in mind when I gave "looking forward" the title. This is how the art community helps us to grow as artists and humans becAuse everything we do/see has an effect on our art. Personally, if I am not painting or drWing, I am thinking about it. So, you gave us all something to think about! (it's not my original comment, but I hope it helps:-))
Catherine, you are a sweetheart! I am glad of the way you saw this piece at the first place!
Oh what a bummer an accidental delete is! I can't remember exactly what I said last time but my general opinion on this idea is that pulling out the tortured images from the tortured part of yourself is the artistic easy road to doing something that will have an effect on other people - trying to find what is sublime or profound in pure beauty or joy is far more difficult, but when it finally does come through the end result is infinitely more touching. Of course both are valid expressions and if someone really feels pain they should paint it and get it out, but it would be such a terrible thing to chase after the pain just to be able to paint! Ouch!
I know Efi... feel your pain! :( I hope people will come back to this post to leave their comments again, like Catherine & Heather did! :)
Everything happens for a reason ~ I believe. Was there a level of pain in deleting and did you feel compelled to paint? Lol jk. I don't think you need pain although it is a great motivator towards healing. No healing no paint? I think as a viewer I'd rather see the wisdom that has comes from healing from pain rather than the angst. Good question~ and full circle to it with my thoughts!
I have ADD (you know, if it exists) and I've always preferred to be outside, playing sports, catching frogs, pretending to be a fictional character in a fictional world, that kind of thing—I never thought, five years ago, that I would spend hours sitting inside, staring at a piece of paper two inches away from my face. For me, finishing a piece is an absolute battle. In many ways, I prefer writing fiction. Drawing takes so much glacial time—the hours can be disheartening, depressing, soul-devouring. Besides the tedium, drawing is literally painful. My pinky on my right hand aches after a good day of drawing. It definitely can't be good for my back, either. I think Art—broadly here, music and dance included—is sublime communication, the communion of two consciousnesses over time and space; and it's basically what I believe in. If I can make one kid experience what I experienced the first time a book ignited my imagination and opened the door to another world, then the pain is worth it. The hours weren't wasted. This piece is a key to complicated lock, Efi, and I thank you for that.
A very interesting and achingly honest comment, Will, as are they all. The common thread that emerges from every heartfelt take on Efi's post is that art is fundamentally different from other human activities. Each of you is compelled to create, and compulsion is complex, mysterious, and fraught with pleasure and pain. Then again, I could be wrong.
Wow Will, thank you for sharing those thoughts. I feel compelled to add that I have carpel tunnel and drawing/painting and working on the computer is often painful. Worse, is waking up in pain in the night after working a detailed drawing. However, painting and drawing, especially when a work is finished is what keeps my sanity. So I work and trade one pain for another. :-)
I've been gone for a day and just came back to this! I read and loved your comments Heather, Angela, Deepti, Will and Geoffrey. It's nice to share intimate thoughts and stories. For me, things can be very clear and very complex at the same time. When I was a kid, I enjoyed running in the streets, playing until the sun went down. I was good at school, but never the best I could be... Nothing ever interested me more, than the real, actual world and being part of it. I wasn't interested in books, I wanted to be out there! After a while, I realized that, this fed my mind, still does. Everything I see, a tree, a gesture, a man on the street, is pulling a trigger in my mind. A chain reaction begins... I have come up with great philosophical answers/questions, just by these simple things. This piece is not a statement. Or, maybe it is. I believe it, I say it out loud and when I am over it, I can say it's total bull****! It doesn't matter really!
No Pain, no gain,
welcome to my brain!
No Pain, no gain,
welcome to my brain!
It's a great brain!! Thanks for the thought provoking question/post! It's good to sometimes look in on your own actions and look at what is driving us! I get that way too where I see simple every day things and I see them as shapes and colors small studies almost that trigger ideas and urges to create.
I don't think I have enough words, to thank you all, for this great conversation... I guess, sometimes things happen twice! I think, I might get misunderstood by my latest comment, but it's very hard to explain the way I think, only in a few words!
Angela, I am glad you can relate to that!
Angela, I am glad you can relate to that!
Don't worry, it's all good. It is a great conversation, worthy of exploring.
i love this for all the reasons Will mentioned. so very clever.
Thanks, Laura! I'm glad you can relate! :)
Ain't that the truth!
I believe it partially is, Anthony!
Bloody good.
Cheers! :)
YESSS. The best things come with a struggle.
Too true, too true. Without struggle, no one could have an interesting story or experience to apply to the things they make to give them substance.
Thanks, for the comments ladies! And yes, that's the way things are... :)
Wonderful piece. And I enjoyed the commentary. Thank you for sharing your story. It makes it all the more lovely.
Thank you, Cynthia! :)
very interesting statement!
Beautiful! Lovely piece!

MIDDLEBOURNE - Championship games bring out a team's true colors and show deep down who wants it more. That was the case Saturday when the Tyler Consolidated and Magnolia volleyball teams met in the West Virginia Class A Region 1 title match.
After winning the first set in the finals against the Blue Eagles 25-17, the excitement about winning another championship was written all over the Silver Knights' faces. But Magnolia gave their rivals all they could handle before Tyler Consolidated walked off the court with a four-set triumph.
Tied at 21-21 in the second set, the two teams would exchange points seven times before the Blue Eagles scored on back-to-back serves to even the match, 1-1, with a 26-24 victory. But that set only served as a teaser for the one the two squads would put on next.

Down 9-6, Tyler Consolidated fought back to even the set at 16-16 and that's when the fun began.
Both teams traded points until Magnolia found itself with match point at 24-23, but the Silver Knights didn't back down and tied the set before they took the lead themselves, 25-24.
Tyler Consolidated then got a taste of it's own medicine when the Blue Eagles tied up the game and then took the lead back at 26-25.
The same pattern would play out several more times until the Knights took a 30-29 lead and scored the game point to take the epic third set.
"I think maybe (if we were) fresh, it might have been a little bit different," Magnolia coach Pam Chapman said.
"I think our conditioning had a play in that also. We spent a lot of energy in those first two sets. Whenever we play Tyler, it's always a good rivalry, it's always a good game. I think a fresh game would have ended a little different."
Knowing his team only needed one more win to seal the regional title, Richard Summers made a change in the Silver Knight's approach.
"We did make an adjustment towards the end," he said. "I thought we were a little rattled a little bit early, so the last set we put our seniors on our floor. It seemed to settle us down a little bit and that was the difference."
And so it was as Tyler Consolidated won the fourth set, 25-17, to lay claim to the championship.
"The girls have worked hard for a long time and to win in a game like that against a really good team, it feels great," Summers said. "Magnolia played fantastic and they have a great team. It was a great game and could have gone either way."
Even with the loss, Magnolia will still advance to the West Virginia State Tournament held in Charleston, but Chapman says the honor still doesn't help the sting of defeat.
"It's always kind of bitter cause you always want to win no matter what," she said.
"Both of us are going to the state tournament, but our players know when you get to the finals you still want to win. Even though we are going to states, we wanted to come out and be Region 1 champions."
Though the regional championship is in the books, both coaches look forward to a rematch down state.
"Rich and I talked afterwords and we said if we both keep playing like this, then both of us could be in the championship game come Saturday," Chapman said.
Summers agreed saying, "I think that if both of us go down there and play like that, then who knows what could happen. The WVSSAC does random seeding, so actually the runner-up could get an easier path to the championship game. We could end up in the finals, but who knows."
Tyler Consolidated made it to the regional championship game by making quick work of Madonna, 25-15, 25-6, 25-17. Magnolia advance by besting Paden City 25-15, 25-13, 25-19.

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Clippers had their starting core
together for the first time in more than two months, and the lack of court
time together showed.
LeBron James and the Miami Heat spoiled the return to action for Chris Paul,
Blake Griffin and Chauncey Billups, with the reigning NBA MVP racking up 30
points in just 31 minutes to lead the defending champions to a 111-89 rout of
the struggling Clippers at American Airlines Arena.
James added six assists while going 9-of-11 from the field and 4-of-5 from 3-
point range, while Dwyane Wade shook off a flu bug to record 20 points and
seven assists in a game the Heat dominated from the second quarter on.
Wade was questionable to play in the contest due to the illness, which
rendered both All-Star center Chris Bosh and top bench option Ray Allen
Neither was needed in this one, however, as Miami made 52.9 percent of its
field goal attempts and knocked down 15 shots from beyond the arc en route to
a fourth straight win -- with James putting up at least 30 points in each of
those victories.
Mario Chalmers accounted for five of the Heat's triples in an 18-point effort,
with Shane Battier hitting four on five tries while finishing with 12 points.
Paul returned from a nine-game absence caused by a bone bruise in his right
knee, but managed just three points on 1-of-5 shooting in 20 minutes. Billups,
playing for the first time since early December due to an inflamed tendon in
his left foot, had seven points in 16 minutes.
Griffin, who had sat out Los Angeles' last two outings with a hamstring
injury, made 5-of-7 field goals in a 13-point performance that wasn't nearly
enough to prevent the Clippers from their fourth setback in five games.
DeAndre Jordan paced Los Angeles with 17 points, with Jamal Crawford netting
13 in defeat.

Friday News, July 6
County to Begin Paving Project on C-60
(Le Mars) -- The Plymouth County Secondary Road Department has announced County Road C-60 from K-49 to K-42 will be closed beginning Monday and it will remain closed until September 14th. Road crews will be laying new pavement for the six mile stretch of highway.
Heat Wave Causing Problems for Road Department
(Le Mars) -- The ongoing heat wave is creating problems for road departments as highways have expanded and buckled. Plymouth County engineer Tom Rohe says the heat is responsible for at least two areas that have needed patching due to the pavement expanding.
Listen here
The county engineer says each repair project due to the heat expanding the pavement can cost the county a few thousand dollars.
Listen here
Last year the county road crews had to make two repairs where the road had buckled, and Rohe believes additional buckling may occur this summer especially if the heat wave continues.
Utility Companies See Surge in Energy Usage From Heat Wave
(Le Mars) -- The heat wave has utility companies seeing a surge in energy usage. But officials with Northern Iowa Power Cooperative, otherwise known as NIPCO say they have anticipated the extra surge and have adapted accordingly. Kent Pauling is the Executive Vice President and General Manager for NIPCO. He says they have not seen any outages due to the excessive heat.
Listen here
NIPCO serves approximately 32,000 customers through its seven rural electrical cooperatives. Pauling says a few years ago, the member co-ops established a program called "Switch Makes Cents" that redirects energy away from some customers during peak load times. Pauling says the program has been beneficial, especially during this heat wave.
Listen here
Mid-American Company spokesperson,Tina Potthoff says although energy usage has increased it isn't at the record set during the summer of 2011.
Listen here
Potthoff says Mid-American has not had any power outages as a result of the heat wave. Potthoff offers some energy saving tips that can be implemented to help save energy and money.

Cattle Under Stress From Heat Wave
(Orange City) -- This heat wave is not only uncomfortable to us, but it can be deadly for livestock. Beth Doran, Iowa State University Extension Livestock Specialist says for market cattle, the heat and humidity can be troublesome, especially when there is little to no air movement.
Listen here
She says cattle producers have done a good job of placing the cattle in shaded areas or turning on water sprinklers to cool down the cattle. The I-S-U Beef Specialist hasn't heard of any instances when the cattle have parished as a result of the heat, but she says performance levels will decline.
Listen here
Doran says besides market cattle, the heat can also negatively affect cow-calf operations.
Listen here
Pasture ground is also feeling the stress of the drought. Doran says many of the pastures in northwest Iowa are looking "tough"
Listen here
As a result of the dry and hot conditions, Doran expects hay will soon be selling at premium prices. She suggests producers transport their livestock either at night or early in the morning prior to the rise of the heat and humidity.

WARRENTON, Va. (AP) - Virginia State Police say they are investigating a fatal shooting by a deputy sheriff in Fauquier County.
Authorities say the incident occurred early Friday after deputies from both Fauquier and Stafford counties responded to a report of a crashed and abandoned vehicle near the county line. The investigation led them to a home where the Stafford deputies were confronted by a 17-year-old boy who attacked them with a knife. The teen was shot, and he died at the scene.
At an afternoon press conference, State Police officials said Fauquier deputies were outside the home at the time of the shooting.
The Free Lance-Star reports that the deputy who was attacked suffered superficial knife wounds but was not seriously injured.

[UPDATE] Thomas County, Georgia -- December 1, 2011 - Noon -
The couple accused of animal abuse back in early November has been sentenced. 41 horses were removed from Cecil and Kathleen Walker's home in Thomas County early last month. A veterinarian said some of the horses were severely malnourished. As of Monday, Cecil was charged with one count of animal cruelty. The couple was sentenced to eight months probation and must pay a $125 fine. They also forfeit the right to the 41 horses. The horses will be available for adoption and anyone interested can contact the Dancing Cloud Horse Rescue.
[UPDATE] Thomas County, Georgia -- November 5, 2011 5:45 PM
It's been four days since the horses were brought to the rescue center and while those close to the case say the horses are showing signs of improvement, they stress they still have a long road to recovery."
According to Dr. Mary Rogers, the forty hoses that were seized from Cecil and Kathleen Walker for abuse and neglect, are severely malnourished. Rogers says, "well, obviously they're very thin. They range in body condition, on a scale of one to nine, from a one point five to about a four. "
Another problem the horses are battling is rain rot which is brought on by a lack of grooming and overexposure to the elements. Rogers expects many of them will lose their coats.
Another major concern is parasite infection.
Roger says, "they have such heavy loads of parasites that they were actually expelling adult worms from, from their feces. And they have to be pretty heavily parasitized to do that."
Officials close to the case say they are seeing increased rates of neglected animals due to the struggling economy and say people should know they can voluntarily surrender their animals if they can no longer care for them.
Rescuer, Anita Meisen says "Contact the vet or contact us, and we will try to help them as best we can. Sometimes we can take the animal. Don't wait until they get in this condition."
The doctor says she expects a full recovery to happen within two to four months.
Thomas County, Georgia - November 3, 2011 6:00PM
Forty emaciated horses have been seized in the tiny town of Ochlocknee, Georgia.
Thomas County Sheriff's deputies are investigating and say the owners could be charged with animal cruelty.
Calls rang into the sheriff's office back in early October about the conditions of the horses and on Tuesday, November 1st, deputies executed a warrant at a home on Incognito Lane and seized all of them.
Investigators brought the horses to a nearby rescue center. Deputies say the horses belonged to Cecil and Kathleen Walker.
"You can see his backbone. He's covered in rain rot. His ribs are showing. His hips are showing and his backbone here is showing," says Dancing Horse Rescue President Anita Meisen.
Meisen believes many of the female horses may be pregnant. One has difficulty walking due to a broken leg.
She says the rescue center has saved many animals before, but never has she rescued this many in such bad condition.
The Rescue Farm is asking for donations and staff there tell us none of the horses will go up for adoption any time soon. Here's how you can adopt once they do:
Dancing Cloud Farm Horse Rescue, Inc.
P.O. Box 6
Ochlocknee, GA 31773
Georgia Equine Rescue League
Donations are said to cover veterinarian costs.
Thomas County, Georgia - November 3, 2011 - Noon -
The Thomas County Sheriff's Office recovered 40 horses on November 1st in an animal abuse investigation. Now those horses are at a rescue center.
Horses were taken to Dancing Cloud Farm Horse Rescue. Some of the ribs are sticking out of the horses' sides and hipbones protrude from their bodies. Rescuers tell Eyewitness News that many of the female horses may be pregnant.
At this time, investigators say the suspects may face 40 charges of animal cruelty. The investigation is on-going.

Martinsville - Race Recap
Posted by: lori on Apr 02, 2012
Tagged in: Untagged
MARTINSVILLE, Va. (April 1, 2012) – Entering the sixth race of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season, Casey Mears and the GEICO Racing team looked to continue their string of top-25 performances and establish a solid position within the coveted owner point standings. High hopes were set, as the Germain Racing team had recorded a 12th-place finish during the most recent event at the Virginia short track (October 2011).
Shortly after unloading the No. 13 GEICO Ford Fusion for Friday's practice sessions, the team realized things weren't going to be as easy as planned. While in race trim, a tight-handling condition plagued Mears, which hindered his ability to turn through the corners. This would prove to challenge the team during the 500-lap race on Sunday.
Starting the event from the 25th position, Mears moved up four spots in the opening 10 laps. But soon thereafter, the tight condition returned. The California native was scored in 30th when the first caution was displayed on lap 98. Crew chief Bootie Barker brought Mears to pit road for four tires, fuel, and major adjustments, putting the Ford in 29th for the lap 105 restart.
The GEICO team capitalized on every opportunity that was presented to help Mears, as four cautions took place over a span of 150 laps. Despite the ill-handling continuing, Mears continued to work his way through the field and by lap 350, the No. 13 Fusion was inside the top-25. There was no looking back from that moment on.
While the on-track action picked up as the laps counted down, Mears kept all the fenders on his GEICO Ford during two attempts at a green-white-checkered flag finish to bring home a 25th-place finish. This is the driver's fourth top-25 effort of the 2012 season. The No. 13 entry also picked up two positions in the owner championship point standings, to take over 27th-place.
"We struggled this weekend," said Mears. "But even though we were off, the guys on this GEICO team never gave up and kept trying different adjustments to make it better. We got it a little better towards the middle of the race but then ended somewhere around where we started. Hopefully today will help us when we come back here in the fall. I know this team has potential and to finish top-25 is a positive to carry into the off-weekend."
Next week, Mears and his fellow competitors will take a well-deserved week off before returning to racing action at Texas Motor Speedway on Saturday, April 12. The Samsung Mobile 500 will air live on FOX beginning at 7 p.m. ET. Performance Racing Network will carry the live radio broadcast.

Now reaching to 11.
When SRAM re-introduced Red in 2012, there was nothing more its engineers could do to make it better. It had been redesigned throughout, targeting specific areas of the drivetrain at the requests of the world's best cyclists. SRAM concluded that adding more gearing to the equation was the only conceivable improvement required. So once again its engineers began refining their marquee groupset. The result is that now, without adding any weight, SRAM delivers the new iteration of Red with 22 gears. While other manufacturers would call this an 11-speed groupset, SRAM calls the system 'True 22,' as twenty-two is the numeric expression of exactly how many useable, trim-free gears you receive. With True 22 you're able to utilize every gear, in any combination, even when cross-chaining.
For the new Red 22 Shifters, SRAM carried over the ErgoFit bodies and internals of its Red Ergo Dynamic Shifters, with the exception of them now being built with an 11th indent. In designing the Red Ergo Dynamic Shifters, SRAM focused its research and development on perfecting their shape, texture, and materials. SRAM retained the internals of the first-generation Red DoubleTap levers, and brought laser-like focus to ergonomics.
The new ErgoFit bodies are somewhat smaller in diameter when compared side-to-side with the original Red. This improves grip and finger wrap by allowing more room under the hood for a control- and comfort-boosting connection. The new shape offers a smooth transition from bar to hood and SRAM covered it with lightly padded, textured rubber to thwart fatigue and enhance grip. They also reshaped the hoods, increasing the size of the bulge up top for increased leverage and comfort when you're stretched out, putting extra pressure on the hoods.
Because the internals carry over, or have been slightly modified to fit the new body, the Red 22 levers retain the crisp movement between gears SRAM mastered with the first-generation Red. The key to this is SRAM's ZeroLoss and DoubleTap technologies. DoubleTap technology allows shifting both up and down the cassette from a single lever -- this provides an intuitive connection between body and bike. ZeroLoss is an optimized pawl geometry to provide cable actuation as soon as you apply pressure to the shift lever. This offers the highest-level of smoothness and response in both upshifting and downshifting. It's especially noticeable as you shift from the small to the big ring.
While the guts were good, racer beta and other feedback encouraged SRAM to enhance both the brake lever and shifter paddle's shape and position. The improved, larger carbon shift paddle makes the act of shifting less of an effort. When you're at max power, shifting from the drops can sometimes feel overwhelming. As before, the carbon fiber brake and shift levers are independently reach-adjustable. However, easier access to the adjustment screws allows simple placement of these essential controls, where they'll offer a custom connection to your hands. On the bell lap, this may mean the difference between shifting to the right gear, and not shifting at all.
One of the most appreciated features of SRAM shifters is their innovative cable routing, and the Red 22 Shifters continue that tradition. You can cleanly route the shift cables either on the inside or the outside of the bars. Regardless of your handlebar choice, you won't need to fret about being required to run cables in one single way. You can choose the routing that meets your preference in bar-feel.
The SRAM Red 22 Shifters come with a low-friction cable and housing kit for both derailleurs. Given the mechanics of DoubleTap shifting and the 11-speed calibration, please note that SRAM recommends that you use a complete SRAM Red 22 groupset, including both derailleurs, cassette, chain, and crankset.

Will they work with SRAM Red 10 set so I can upgrade in stages?
Hi! They will not, they are indexed for an 11 speed drivetrain.
this is Shirter Right Only? or pair?
The SRAM Red 22 Shifters are sold as a pair of shifters. You will be shipped both a right and a left shifter for the set.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
For me this is perfection, as close to DI2 as you can get in a mechanical system. Install is easy, shift paddles are bigger, more comfortable, and as always they deliver accurate quick shifts with minimal lever throw.
These are great ! SRAM comes though again, light, solid shifting. Have >2000 miles on these and they are still dead on awesome :) Comfy grips, nice feel, just splendid :) Light light light!

Global Supply Chain May Be "Stuck in Mud" Too
July 02, 2013 - SCMR Editorial
While supply chain managers may note that the ISM purchasing managers' index (PMI) has bounced back over 50 to 50.9 in June from 49.0 in May, some economists maintain that such surveys may not mean much.
"The ISM report says that manufacturing is essentially stalled," said Michael Montgomery, U.S. economist for IHS Global Insight. "The Markit Economics version (constructed in a very similar fashion) says that there is modest growth."
Markit Economics is an independent, global provider of some of the world's most influential business surveys.
"From our perspective, taking all the data, that means growth is so sluggish that surveys cannot tell the difference between token gains and flat," added Montgomery.
The manufacturing sector turned mildly negative in May, then mildly positive in June. The two-month average is virtually neutral and the three-month average a token plus — all 12-month averages are very close to June readings.
According to IHS, that means that the manufacturing operating environment is almost identical to what it has been for most of the last year, with no signs of improvement or deterioration.
Similar conditions of near stagnation exist overseas, with Europe on the underwater side of neutral but clawing back toward neutral, China just under neutral, and only Japan showing any signs of a recovery that is gaining momentum. Worldwide manufacturing is stuck in the mud.
"The manufacturing sector is recording such modest growth that surveys cannot tell the difference from stagnation," said Montgomery.

The FCC administers and maintains licenses for AM, FM, LPFM, FM translator and FM booster radio stations. FM radio licenses are available for operators of full power commercial stations, as well as full and low power, noncommercial education stations. A license is required to operate a radio station, and can be obtained by filing an application with the FCC. The commission must approve a proposed radio license assignment prior to the sale of the station. The FCC provides public notice of the filing of all new station, assignment and license renewal applications. This public notice starts a 30-day period for the public to file comments or objections to these applications.
FM is short for frequency modulation, which refers to the means of encoding the audio signal on the carrier frequency. FM full power, low power, translator and booster stations operate in the 88 – 108 MHz band. There are many classes of radio stations. The smallest provide service to areas within three or four miles of a transmitter site; the largest provide service to locations more than 60 miles from a transmitter site. Only noncommercial educational radio stations are licensed in the 88-92 MHz "reserved" band. Both commercial and noncommercial educational stations may operate in the "non-reserved" 92-108 MHz band.
AM is short for amplitude modulation, which refers to the means of encoding the audio signal on the carrier frequency. In many countries, AM radio stations are known as "mediumwave" stations. They are also sometimes referred to as "standard broadcast stations" because AM was the first form used to transmit broadcast radio signals to the public. Over one half of all Many AM stations are either daytime-only stations or stations authorized to operate at very low power levels at night as a result of "sky wave" propagation, which occurs when the AM signal is reflected off the ionosphere and back to the earth.

|"The purple thing with the white lines...put the ball there!"
Serena Williams couldn't find her game and Caroline Wozniacki took full advantage, ousting the 5-time Sony Ericsson champ 6-4, 6-4 in the quarterfinals and earning her first win over ReRe. The Dane will face off against Maria Sharapova, who finally beat Li Na 6-3, 6-0 after losing the last four, in the semifinals.
Yeah, Wozzi did her usual counter-puncher-thingy but with a little bit more...er...aggression? It's true. She hit her first serve with some pop at times and her forehand held up against ReRe's which found the net more than anything else. Maybe being knocked from the WTA Penthouse will end up being the best thing that could've happened to Wozzi. Maybe.

I have rockband 1 on disc (BLES00228) and a 'backup' of RB3 (BLUS30463) stored on the HDD which plays fine with Gaia. I am trying to export the RB1 songs into RB3. I have purchased the export key and the songs are on the HDD but are not being recognised by RB3. Equally strangely, neither are the dlc songs I just bought for RB3
So any ideas how to get the songs imported? I suspect its to do with the disc regions... Anyone have the BLUS??? ID for RB1. If I change the game folder label might that work? though that sounds too simple to be true, or do you think I could copy the files into RB3 USRDIR?? Any other suggestions people??

Pasadena, CA (Sports Network) - The huge matchup between USC and Oregon won't
be the only Pac-12 conference game that features a pair of ranked teams this
weekend, as recent additions to the top-25, Arizona and UCLA, will battle at
the Rose Bowl on Saturday.
Arizona roared back to down USC last weekend with Matt Scott accounting for
469 yards of total offense and four touchdowns. The now 24th-ranked Wildcats
had trailed 28-13 as late as 11 minutes into the third quarter but Scott took
over and rallied the Wildcats to the win.
"I'm really proud of our guys. They hung in there," head coach Rich Rodriguez
said, "I think it's just good to win a close game because it gets our guys to
believe in themselves."
The Wildcats have been inconsistent, with the team looking unstoppable at
times and horrendous at others. The disparity has been evident when looking at
the team's home record (5-1) versus its road record (0-2).
UCLA will also be riding the momentum of a heart-stopping victory that pushed
it into the national rankings. A 33-yard field goal from Kai'imi Fairbairn as
time expired gave UCLA a 45-43 victory over Arizona State moving the Bruins to
6-2 overall this season and 3-2 in conference play, while putting them back in
the top-25.
"I think it's a sign that we are maturing as a football team and believing in
the systems," head coach Jim Mora said. "There are going to be some games like
this where they are shootouts."
History is on the side of the Bruins in this matchup. UCLA has won 11 of the
total 17 meetings between the squads, although last season that didn't seem to
matter as the Wildcats rolled to a 48-12 win. UCLA hasn't actually gotten a
win against Arizona since 2006.
Rodriguez can count himself lucky that he has had Scott to rely on this
season. Although he has struggled at times, just like the rest of the team,
Scott has been able to run Rodriguez's system effectively and has helped
Arizona rise to the top of the conference in total offense (553.6 ypg). That
is pretty impressive in a conference that features teams like Oregon and USC.
Scott has thrown for 2,724 yards, while completing 62.9 percent of his pass
attempts. His 20 touchdowns are more than double his interception total
(nine). Scott has been far and away the most productive quarterback in the
conference, averaging 340.5 passing yards per game. No other signal caller in
the conference is even near that, with All-American Matt Barkley ranked second
at 283.3 yards per game.
Scott isn't just dangerous through the air but also on the ground. He has had
no issue getting out of pocket and picking up yards on both designed runs and
when the pocket collapses, piling up 365 yards and four scores rushing.
"Matt is a warrior. He gets yards for us when we need it. He runs well and he
also has a great arm and gets the ball to receivers perfectly," wideout Austin
Hill said. "He gets better every week."
Ka'Deem Carey though has been the real lightening rod out of the backfield,
rushing for 961 yards and 12 touchdowns. Carey is the third most prolific
rusher in the conference.
With Scott tossing it around at such a high rate Arizona receivers have put up
some impressive numbers. None has been as productive as Austin Hill, who has
racked up 937 yards and seven touchdowns on 54 receptions. His yardage total
is the second most in the conference. Dan Buckner has also been a constant
threat with 51 receptions for 656 yards and three scores.
Even though it was a shootout against USC, the Wildcat defense did its job in
terms of capitalizing on mistakes. Arizona forced three fumbles and collected
an interception in the win and now has a turnover margin of plus-four this
season. Making sure to take advantage when other offenses falter is a key for
Arizona, which is second to last in the Pac-12 in both total defense (483.9
ypg) and scoring defense (31.1 ppg).
On an individual level, Jake Fischer has been the standout in terms of
tackling with a team-high 72. Marquis Flowers has been a menace to opposing
ball carriers with 55 total tackles, 7.5 for loss and 3.5 sacks. Flowers has
also contributed against the pass with a pair of interceptions. Tra'Mayne
Bondurant has racked up a team-high 10.5 tackles for loss.
Dual threat quarterbacks and potent offenses are things UCLA can appreciate.
Led by freshman quarterback Brett Hundley, the Bruins have been the third best
offense in the conference, piling up 502.9 yards on a weekly basis. The Bruins
can also score at a high rate with the team good for 33.4 points per game.
Hundley has had some growing pains, but on the whole, he has been fantastic.
He has completed a stellar 66.4 percent of his passes for 2,190 yards and 18
touchdowns to eight interceptions. Like Scott, Hundley has no problem tucking
the ball and running, with five rushing touchdowns on the season and 267 yards
on the ground.
The real workhorse for the offense is running back Johnathan Franklin. He has
rushed for a conference-high 1,042 yards this season and is averaging strong
marks of 6.7 yards per carry and 130.2 yards per game. Franklin was dominant
in the win over Arizona State, racking up 164 yards on 26 carries with two key
Shaquelle Evans is the team's best receiver this season, bringing in 33
receptions for 488 yards (both team-highs). Hundley has relied more heavily on
Joseph Fauria though close to the end zone, with six of Fauria's 22 receptions
this season ending up as touchdowns.
Like Arizona, UCLA is normally involved in shootouts with opposing squads
which has made its defensive numbers look less than stellar (416.1 ypg, 25.1
ppg). Creating negative plays has helped keep opposing teams at bay with the
Bruins recording the third most tackles for loss (60) and sacks (28) in the
Eric Kendricks has led the team from his spot in the linebacking corps with 74
tackles this season. Anthony Barr meanwhile, has really terrorized opposing
teams with 12.0 tackles for loss, including 8.5 sacks. Those are both the top
marks in the conference. Datone Jones (12.0 sacks, 4.0 tackles for loss) can't
be ignored either on the front line.

I have been experiencing some issues with my implemented zimlets.
My info is: Release 7.0.0_GA_3077.RHEL5_64_20110127190222 RHEL5_64 NETWORK edition.
The problem was noticed because the smileys from the ymemoticons zimlets were not being shown in Instant Messaging, neither in the compose window. It shows like this:
After that we noticed that all the icons of the zimlets were missing. This was working fine after the upgrade to ZCS 7.0.0 but then it stopped working properly.
I've been reading the forums looking for something like this but nothing, that's the reason I have decided to post!
Is someone having this same issue?? Can somebody help me please!!
Thanks in advance.

Without Fleury, Pittsburgh will be difficult to beat.
Imagine if they benched that idiot last season.
Posted 22 May 2013 - 10:53 PM
Last season they didn't have a capable backup so it wouldn't have made any difference. But it seems that the Pittsburgh defense is much more calm with Vokoun in net than Fleury... they actually look decent.
Speed, an aggressive forecheck, and sustained puck possession exposes their defense though, as the Islanders showed. Although the Senators aren't a particularly slow team so who knows?

What the f*** happened?!
The Senators remembered they're a 7 seed. I like how after the game Alfredsson said "We probably won't win this series". Nice. That's real leadership for you there.

Wow Alfie actually said that? I never did think that guy was a leader. I still recall the Cup Final in 2007 when he had a little hissy fit and shot the puck at Niedermayer. I knew they were done in that series then and they were. The Sens are in over their heads. They don't really believe they can beat the Pens and it shows. Whereas the #7 Wings believe they can beat the Hawks and are.

Whereas the #7 Wings believe they can beat the Hawks and are.
Heard that quote this morning as well and my first reaction was "wow", especially having it come from the team captain. However, the more I thought about it, I'm not sure how to feel about it. Firstly, I may be taking it out of context. What I heard was something like this: reporter asks "do you think the Sens can win the series", he responds by saying "probably not"...followed by something else.
So, yeah, it looks like he's sort of giving up, not really a good way to lead, etc. Or is it simple honesty? Too often all we hear are stupid cliches, rather than honest answers. Does anyone think the Sens can pull off a series win? "Probably not" is likely the correct, honest answer. Doesn't mean they can't do it.
I heard the suggestion that maybe he said that as a tactic, gets into the Pens heads to think that the Sens are done...going to roll over. I think that is very far fetched though, don't think he put that much though into, simply answered the question honestly. Got a lot talk this morning on the radio though (in Toronto)....have no idea what they are saying in Ottawa.
Posted 23 May 2013 - 11:01 AM
You guys should see MacLean's presser. It was about 20 seconds long and really something else. I like him though. And he did seem to show more fight and resolve than Alfie did. Jeez..

Alfredsson picked up the puck after the final whistle. That can mean only one thing.
I heard that as well, but even if he thought they would come back and win.....if they don't....he would never get the chance again to get the puck from his last game played on home ice.
What Alfredsson could have said was something like 'Yeah, it looks bad, but we've got good players and a good ethic and we go out to win every night. Likely or not we are going out there and not just give up.'
Still admits the uphill battle, but shows a bit of fight that could inspire his team.
And that would have been the boring, stock, cliche response. Would definitely have been less controversial though.
Not trying to defend him though, I'm by no stretch of the imagination an Alfie fan.
Posted 23 May 2013 - 12:25 PM
"We're going to Pittsburgh, and we're coming to play..."
You know, the last time I heard that, it was "We're going to Flint and we're coming back here..."
And then the Mallards won the UHL Championship.
If Ottawa doesn't drag it to 6, they will drag the pens down with them. MacLean will be sure of that.

Posted 23 May 2013 - 12:34 PM
Toby I think you make some good points, to be honest. From his perspective as a veteran in his last days who has just lost a critical playoff game, he was likely feeling really disappointed and probably didn't feel like blowing sunshine up everyone's butt. I guess it is what it is. But I expect the Sens won't just roll over and die.
The Pens haven't been all that great at closing a series at home in recent years, for what it's worth. But then again they have been playing a much calmer and more focused game with Vokoun in net as opposed to Fleury and reducing some (but not all) stupid habits, maybe that trend for us will change this year. I guess we'll see.

No way the Pens beat the Bruins IMO. The pens havent faced a playoff calibre team yet these playoffs. They played 2 young, inexperienced teams. I dont think they have a chance in hell in a 7 game series vs the Bruins.
Posted 24 May 2013 - 07:06 PM
Morrow scores a goal with a distinct kicking motion. Ladies and gentle I give you, soccer on ice.
between McQuire screaming about Morrow not kicking the puck (saying it about 8 times) and him saying that there is a phantom call on Crosby who did LIGHTLY hook the defenseman causing a turnover I really don't think I can take this commentary. Usually I can tolerate it, when it's Pittsburgh and Crosby it really is that much worse

Green Canyon, yes, make no mistake it's not America's Grand Canyon, but it is Pangandaran's Green Canyon on the southern coast of West Java. Originallya called "Cukang Taneuh"- the local Sundanese meaning for Soil Bridge- Green Canyon has a 3 meter wide bridge made up of soil above the twin cliffs on both river banks. This natural wonder is surely a spectacular scene that you will not find anywhere else.
The name Green Canyon is believed to have been dubbed by a French tourist who came to the location in 1993. It is said that the clear green water of the river and the abundant green moss on the cliff had given it its popular name. This little natural wonder is located at the Kertayasa Village, in the Ciamis Regency, West Java Province, about 31 Km or 45 minutes' drive from Pangandaran Beach.
As you arrive at the main entrance, which is the parking lot of Green Canyon, you will see a row of wooden boats popularly called "Ketinting" lining up by the river. Those are boats that will take you to Green Canyon and costs IDR75.000 per person. The arrangement for renting the boats is very organized: once you pay the fee you will receive a number. You will then get into your boat once your number is called.
The ketinting will then take you on a ride down the river, splitting the clear green water and creating small wave on both sides. From the boat, you will see green forest trees along the banks, and sometimes snakes or lizards jumping into the river, or come up to surface.
As the boat slows down and makes its last turn, an astonishing view jumps right in front of your eyes. Twin cliffs standing tall on each side of the river, with stalactites and stalagmites overhead , and crystal clear water below. You may think that this may be the Garden of Eden.
Water pours down from each side of the cliffs creating a rumbling sound of waterfalls. At low tide, you can walk under this once great cave and marvel at the sight between the two high cliffs.
Since your clothes will surely be soaking wet by now, you may as well dive into the inviting waters and feel its cooling freshness, although the location is not too far from the sea. To swim against the current, between these giant cliffs and under the canopies will be an experience unlike any other. Most noticeable about Green Canyon is that this place is kept very clean. There are no floating garbage on the river or scattered snacks or cigarette wrapping.
Located not too far from Pangandaran, Green Canyon is a must for those who plan to visit Pangandaran. "A piece of heaven on earth", as those who have been there describe it. A true Natural Wonder hiding behind the thick bushes and trees of Pangandaran's forests. If you think you have never heard about this place, it is only because Green Canyon is the best kept Secret of Pangandaran.
• Don't forget to bring change of clothes, because one way or another you will surely get wet
• Don't forget to bring a Dry bag to protect your valuables such as cellular phone, cameras, etc.
• Cameras or Camcorders are definitely a must, because you rarely find spectacles like this.
• It is best to wear a strong grip, non-slip footwear, since you will be walking on slippery rocks.
• Don't forget to bring some food and drinks, because the nearest facilities are at the main entrance.
• Do not litter, if you want to keep Green Canyon as magical as it is today, don't spoil it by leaving garbage everywhere.
• Green canyon Opens everyday at 07.0 am, but on Friday , operations start at about 13.00 roughly after Friday prayers.
You must first fly or travel by car or train to Bandung. There are direct international flights from Malaysia and Singapore to Bandung. A number of "City Trans" companies operate comfortable, sometimes luxurious buses between Jakarta and Bandung.
From Bandung, the means to get to Pangandaran is by bus, or rented car. If you use public transportation, from the Pangandaran Terminal you can take a minibus headed to Cijulang Terminal. From the Cijulang terminal, the trip continues on "Ojek" , popular bike taxies found almost everywhere in Indonesia.

The Hofstra University Museum continues its golden anniversary celebration with "50/50: Celebrating Fifty Years of the Hofstra University Museum," currently on view through the end of the month. This exhibit highlights the development of Hofstra University's art collection, displaying 50 works of the 605 acquisitions donated to Hofstra since 2006. Paintings, prints, photographs and drawings by 20th and 21st century American, Latino, and European artists demonstrate the breadth and depth of the university's holdings, along with Pre-Columbian figures and vessels as well as early to mid-20th century African masks.
The artists represented include Luis Cruz Azaceta, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Stanley Brodsky, Lucien Clergue, Yonia Fain, April Gornick, Robert Kipniss, Howardena Pindell, Robert Rauschenberg, Donald Resnick, Alison Saar, W. Eugene Smith and Stanley Twardowicz, among others.
"The 50th anniversary provides a meaningful opportunity to showcase a portion of the dynamic works of art that have been gifted to the Museum since 2006," Executive Director Beth Levinthal said. "Each work has helped refine and reshape the Museum's exhibition opportunities and educational outreach."
The museum, which opened in 1963 as the Emily Lowe Gallery, through a grant from the Joseph and Emily Lowe Foundation, now also includes two additional exhibition areas in the Joan and Donald E. Axinn Library.
