|City to go for State Trails Grant for walking path
|Written by April Peregoy
Holyoke City Council is moving forward in its pursuit of grants to fund a walking path that would be located on the south side of Johnson Street from Highway 385 to Melissa Memorial Hospital.
A letter of intent to Colorado State Trails Grant was approved by the council at its regular meeting Tuesday, June 2.
Councilman Ray Bailey reported to the board that a committee officer had visited Holyoke a couple of weeks ago and walked the proposed trail. She also offered information to the city on things they could do to increase the likelihood of receiving the grant.
If awarded, the Colorado Trail Grant will cover up to 70 percent of the costs. The application deadline is Nov. 2, and the city has put together a timeline, listing the necessary tasks that need done in order to qualify for the grant.
The City has divided its whole walking path plan into six phases, with the first being the section on Johnson Street. The city maintains it is not committed to the project until grants are awarded and approved by the board.
It was also noted by Bailey that he has received enthusiastic reactions in support of the project from Phillips County Commissioners and both administrators from Regent Park and MMH.
Police Chief reports
Police Chief Phil Biersdorfer provided council members with a re-formatted report following the suggestions made by the council at the May 19 meeting. He noted code enforcement officer Dawn Archibeque will also be in attendance at the meetings from now on to give her own reports to the council.
Biersdorfer told the board about a break-in that occurred at Heginbotham Library the week before. The robber entered the library by breaking a window in the back and crawling through. Approximately $100 in cash and checks was taken out of the register. However, no other damages or missing items were reported.
An undercover sting investigation, performed by the State Department of Revenue's Liquor Enforcement Division, led to two local businesses being cited for selling to minors, according to Biersdorfer.
The employees responsible for the sales at both Hometown Liquor and First Dragon will have to appear in County Court sometime in the near future. This is the second citation in the last two years for both businesses, who now face possible suspension or revocation of their liquor licenses, depending on the State Dept.'s decision.
In other police dept. news, Biersdorfer told the council he is working on getting a web site going for the police dept. The web site will include information on city laws and ordinances. He is also working on building a business email directory. This will allow him to send out a mass email to inform or warn the public, should the need arise.
Other business
In other business, Holyoke City Council members:
—noted there will be a vote at the next council meeting on Tuesday, June 16 to appoint a replacement for the vacancy left by Sara Bohrer's resignation.
—accepted a recommendation from Holyoke Planning Commission to zone the Kienholz land, on the south side of town, as residential. This land was annexed by the city approximately two years ago.
—approved a memorandum from NECALG regarding an amendment to the Articles of Association that allows a board member to serve more than two terms.
—granted a wage increase for lifeguard Pamela McWilliams to $7.43 per hour for earning her WSI (Water Safety Instruction).
—were informed by City Supt. Mark Brown that a representative of Senator Mark Udall will be at City Hall Friday, June 19 to hear concerns and recommendations from city council members.

By now you've likely watched (or heard about) the ABC News interview with President Obama in which he affirmed his support for family equality and the freedom to marry of same-sex couples.
The President gave us new momentum for passing the Respective for Marriage Act and dumping DOMA. Representative Jerrold Nadler (D-NY08), the bill's sponsor:
It certainly puts the bill in a better light. It changes the background and it has an impact in moving the bill forward. The bill is developing more and more momentum.
Jo Deutsch, Federal Director for Freedom to Marry, explained why:
It shows a man going from point one — from his own questioning, to talking to family and friends, thinking about his own religious upbringing, from seeing people who are impacted by DOMA — and come to end of that journey and say he is for the freedom to marry. That piece acts as an umbrella over all of what is going on on Capitol Hill. ... Because if President Obama can do it and say he is for the freedom to marry, maybe I can do it too.
We also have new momentum for equality in the military context, first at DOJ, and now at the VA:
The court notice, [filed in Cardona v. Shinseki and] signed by VA General Counsel Will Gunn on behalf of VA Secretary Eric Shinseki, says VA will not fight Fifth Amendment claims based on equal protection under the law brought against DOMA.
The memo also says Shinseki believes DOMA should be subject to a "heightened scrutiny" standard, meaning it is up to defendants to prove the law is justifiable under the constitution, as opposed to the "rational basis" standard, which puts the burden on the law's opponents to prove there is no rational reason for it to exist.
Unfortunately, much work – and anti-equality forces – remain.
Before the House Armed Services Committee passed its FY13 Defense Authorization bill, it adopted two amendments that purport to "defend" DOMA.
- Section 536 – Provide a "conscience" protection for chaplains and other personnel. Extending to marriage and any other belief regarding the "appropriate and inappropriate expression of human sexuality," this language will have broad-based discriminatory impact, and it ignores that fact that the military and the First Amendment already provide adequate protections.
- Section 537– Restrict the use of DOD property against performing same-sex marriage ceremonies. Though DOMA remains in place, there is no reason why facilities shouldn't be available to same-sex couples whose marriages are recognized at the state level.
Click here for more information from the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network.
When FY13 Commerce, Justice, Science appropriations hit the House floor, Amendment 1096 passed, which would withhold funds for any contravention of DOMA, based on the false belief that the government is (or will somehow in the future) start recognizing same-sex marriages. No marriages are being recognized. We're still enforcing the law. Where's the contravention?
(The Senate has yet to act on either of these proposals, and it remains to be seen what might later happen in conference. The Defense bill is also subject to a veto threat, based in part on Sections 536 and 537.)
And let's not forget what Speaker Boehner said, that Republicans are "focused in on the economy," as if equality is somehow a political distraction. Equality is an economic issue. Same-sex couples and LGBT families need and deserve the economic security that the freedom to marry would provide.
If you haven't yet, now is the time to add your name to PFAW's petition urging Congress to Dump DOMA and end this unconstitutional, discriminatory policy once and for all.

Oh, shucks, I wish ALL of you a Happy New Year.
I wish all my friends on BD a very Happy New Year.
Oh, shucks, I wish ALL of you a Happy New Year.
May God bless all of you.
Happy New Year Hondo! Just took a few shots out the back door. St.
Yes hope 2013 iz a happy year for all. But i suspekt that it might be an unhappy year for many.
Philosophikly speeking, i suppoze that happyness karnt exist without unhappyness. A measureing tape karnt hav just one end, it needs two ends. Some years must be unhappy, some years very unhappy. But i am thinking that 2013 in the usofa wont be, karnt be, a very happy year. Very happy years are going to be extinct for a very very long time. And very very unhappy years will be here, again, frayed to say.
And why duzz the year havta start on january the first, why karnt it start on the longest day, ie december 22nd. I mean, jan 1st shood be on the longest day. I mean the shortest day in the usofa, the longest day down under.
This would mean that Xmas day would be celebrated 3 days after new years eve woz celebrated. On the other hand it kood be celebrated on the new dec 25th, ie 6 days before new years just like allways.
Anyhow, jan 1st iz allmost gone down here, and soon it will be 2014.
Happy new year Hondo, Stretch, Mac, everyone!
And Mac!!! Oh, Mac, Mac, Mac! Ever heard the old saying, If it didn't rain, we wouldn't appreciate the sunshine?
I've always felt that it is adversity, which presents the greatest opportunities, so everything is always perfect, just the way it is, only we don't know it at the time, so choose it the way it is. Adversity serves a valuable function. That's when we grow as individuals, and become more than we were, and we learn to appreciate every single moment because the good moments annd the bad ones, both have vaule.
The way I look at it, as long as my family is well, and no one is ill, hungry, or cold, then I am not only very happy, but very rich in all ways that matter.
Happy merry, Merry happy, holiday today! Not a big day compared to the night's events (which I didn't do either), but as a marker for new hope, may it be so for all.
A medium sized fish [...]
But how kan anyone be happy with so much shit happening around the world. Overpopulation iz a huge problem -- doubly so koz of superstitious ignorant pinkarsed apes. Global warming. Extinctions. Deforestation. Pollution. Krappynomix.
Anyone who iznt depressed iz a lunatic. Theze are the dark ages -- future peeple will hate us till they die.
Re a happy-tape having two ends. Praps i woz wrong. Or, i woznt wrong, but it says very very unhappy at one end -- and the other end says zero.

Yippee ...
Will Rogers, said during the Great Depression that "money was all appropriated for the top in hopes that it would trickle down to the needy."[2] The term is mostly used ironically or as pejorative.
But that "great" President Reagan thought it would be a wonderful scam to pull on the sheeple, thus ensuring that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
Of course anybody with a lick of sense now realize that the only thing the one per centers will let trickle down is their piss on the middle class.
May God bless all of you.

|Sorority acknowledged
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Dear Editor,
I would like to give big recognition to Beta Sigma Phi for the great job they do for our kids with the Post Prom activities.
I have been so impressed with the work they have done for the kids the last couple of years in making the activities after the dance so fun for them. The work they put in to keep our kids safe by giving them an alternative to "partying" after the dance is so much appreciated.
The sorority ladies put their hearts out for the kids to make this a success. They work hard to get nice prizes for the kids, which helps encourage them to stay all night and go to the morning breakfast.
They go above and beyond for our kids.

Dodge Challenger - Hellacious HemiWritten by on January 1, 2013 1,000 hp for the street - It's amost enough.
It's no surprise that the new Hemi is an impressive power plant, and a worthy successor to its legendary namesake. From the pedestrian 5.7 all the way up to the new 6.4, the Hemi is more than a match for anything offered by Ford or Chevy. Credit goes to the cylinder heads and an efficient intake design for the majority of the power. The tremendous flow rate of the heads and intake allow the factory Hemi to produce prodigious power with mild cam timing. The Hemi is literally begging for more aggressive cam timing, but fuel economy, emissions and idle quality concerns all dictate mild cam timing for factory engines. Given the airflow potential, one route to improved factory performance is increased displacement. Chrysler took this route with the new 6.4 Hemi to the tune of 475 horsepower. If 400 is good, then 800 horsepower must be even better, and the only thing better than 800 is 1,000 horsepower. Are you starting to get the picture?
Time and technology have marched on, and it seems that 1,000 hp is the new 500. Some might argue the necessity of 1,000-horsepower street cars, but the additional power is always useful given the excessive curb weight of Hemi-powered machinery (our Challenger tipped the scales at a portly 4,610 pounds! It takes a ton of power to get anything that heavy moving with authority, so the guys ST Motorsports set out to build one hellacious supercharged Hemi. The horsepower goal was an honest 1,000 (flywheel) horsepower, but every bit as important was the fact that said four-digit power plant must also double as a street machine. Race fuel was not eliminated as a track option, but suitable street manners were considered mandatory. With Kenne Bell's involvement, supercharging was a given, but 1,000 horsepower doesn't come from boost alone. The elevated power goals required attention to every component of the proposed power plant.
Normally aspirated engines run at atmospheric pressure. It is the pressure differential between the cylinder and outside air created by the downward moving piston that fills the cylinder. Superchargers enhance this cylinder filling-ability by increasing the pressure differential. Under the right circumstances, doubling the pressure supplied (14.7 psi of boost), can double the power output. A portion of this power is lost to drive the supercharger, but boost enhances the power output of the normally aspirated combination. The great thing about boost is that applying 14.7 psi can nearly double the power output of the normally aspirated combination, irrespective of the original power output. Thus, it should be obvious that a great supercharged combination always starts out as a healthy normally aspirated engine. The more powerful the normally aspirated combination, the greater the output offered by the supercharged configuration at any given boost level. Using this logic, it is much easier to reach a given power level at a reduced boost pressure. Lower boost levels (usually) increase blower efficiency and decrease inlet air temperatures (further increasing power), which in turn reduces the likelihood of harmful detonation.
Obviously, Adam Montague at ST Motorsports www.spankintime.com) understood this simple principle before starting the build. The first order of business was to build a Hemi capable of withstanding the 20-plus psi of boost that it was going to take to achieve the power goal. Stock Hemis are tough, but not 20-plus psi of boost tough. Starting with a 6.1, the first order of business was to increase the displacement. When it comes to power production, bigger is obviously better, so the 6.1 was punched and stroked out to 6.4 liters (393 inches) courtesy of a 3.795-inch SCAT crankshaft www.scatcrankshafts.com), 6.20-inch K1 rods www.k1technologies.com), and a set of 4.06-inch forged pistons from CP www.cp-carrillo.com). The forged rotating assembly increased both strength and displacement, which are both welcome when searching for 1,000 hp. Naturally, balancing, new rings and bearings were all part of the program. When completed, the assembled short block featured a 10.6: static compression. Some might consider this a tad on the high side for forced induction, but the reality is that the compression improves both (off-boost) mileage and power. Since all high-boost runs were made on race fuel, why give away the horsepower by dropping the compression a point or two?
With more displacement, it was time to increase airflow. The stock cam was ditched in favor of a more aggressive hydraulic roller from Crower Cams www.crower.com). The dual-pattern cam featured a .587/.597-inch lift, a 235/243-degree duration (at .050-inch), and a blower-friendly 114-degree lobe separation angle. The high lift cam was designed to work with a set of high-flow heads supplied by Inertia Motorsports www.nertiamotorsports.com). The 6.1 heads featured full porting, increased valve sizes and a revised spring package to eliminate valve float. Providing the majority of the flow to the Hemi is a Kenne Bell www.kennebell.com) twin-screw supercharger. The stock 2.8 Kenne Bell kit adds 175 horsepower and 135 lb/ft of torque to an auto-equipped 6.1. Looking for big power numbers, they opted to replace the smaller 2.8L with a massive 3.6L blower. The difference between the 2.8 and 3.6 is size (displacement). Both are offered with liquid cooling and Seal Pressure equalization. The 3.6 is longer and slightly taller than the 2.8 unit. A larger rotor pack means more airflow per revolution. This equates to an increase in maximized flow and boost potential. Capable of supporting 1,200 horsepower on the right application, the 3.6L also featured patented Liquid Cooling (not to be confused with intercooling). Liquid Cooling stabilized the temperature differential that exists between the cool inlet and heated discharge sides of the supercharger.
Liquid Cooling enhanced both longevity and performance of the supercharger, while an air-to-water intercooler system greatly reduces the inlet air temps. The Kenne Bell kit featured both Liquid Cooling (of the blower) and an air-towater intercooler. Liquid Cooling was used to cool the heated (discharge) side of the supercharger by circulating water though dedicated passages in the front of the blower. This helps control the difference in rotor growth between the hot (discharge) and cool (inlet) sides of the blower. It is desirable for the rotors to grow evenly front to back, in order to maintain proper tolerances. Intercooling is used to reduce the temperature of the boosted intake air. Heat is a natural byproduct of compression, so any boost provided to the motor will heat the air. The greater the boost pressure, the higher the charge temperature. Higher intake charge temperatures both reduce power and increase the likelihood of harmful detonation. Running the boosted air through a heat exchanger located under the blower dramatically reduces the intake charge temperature (by as much as 200 degrees), thus increasing power and reducing detonation. Using intercooling, makes it possible to run higher boost/power levels on any given octane rating (pump gas).
With the major components taken care of, it was time to address a few secondary systems, namely air intake and fuel flow. Air flow into the supercharger has a direct affect on the boost level coming out. Maximizing airflow to the blower is a 4.5-inch air intake system, a massive single-blade throttle body (flowing 2,150 cfm) and a Mammoth intake manifold all from Kenne Bell. Fuel was supplied by a pair of 255 ltr/hr fuel pumps augmented by a dual Kenne Bell 17V Boost-a-Pump, feeding eighty-pound injectors. Though boost was increased gradually after the break-in period, the Kenne Bell supercharger was eventually configured to produce 23 psi of boost using a 3.375-inch blower pulley and a 7.5-inch crank pulley. Running 23 psi, the supercharged street stroker pump out 989 horsepower at the wheels (well over 1,000 flywheel hp), and 907 lb/ft of torque. Track testing the Challenger with 18 psi of boost resulted in a best et of 9.96 seconds at nearly 139 mph. Future changes include a change to E85 fuel and testing with an even larger 4.2L blower. We are not sure what Webster or Wikipedia would say,

1. The first order of business was to increase the Hemi's displacement. We accomplished this by using a 3.795-inch forged-steel stroker crankshaft from SCAT.2. Working with the SCAT crankshaft was a set of CP forged Pistons and K1 4340 forged connecting rods. The 6.200-inch rods combined with the 4.06-inch bore pistons produce a final displacement of 393 cubic inches.3. The factory SRT8 cam profile works great in a stock application, but it's too mild for our intended use, so the stroker received a custom Crower grind that offered a .587/.597-inch lift, a 235/243-degree duration and an EFI (and idle) friendly 114-degree LSA.4. ARP head studs and FelPro MLS head gaskets were used to ensure that every pound of boost stayed in the combustion chamber. The crush thickness of the head gaskets is .045-inch.5. To maximize airflow, the 6.1 cylinder heads were given a full performance treatment by Inertia Motorsports, including larger valves (2.10/1.60-inch) and a revised valve spring package.6. The new valve springs are required with the new, larger camshaft. Extensive porting, bowl work, and a multiangle valve job combined to dramatically improve the flow rate of the intake ports. Flow numbers exceeded 355 cfm.8. Looking to go beyond stock, ST Motorsports stepped up from the 2.8 to the larger 3.6 supercharger. When it comes to maximum supercharged performance, bigger really is better.9. Knowing heat is a natural byproduct of boost (compression), the Kenne Bell supercharger kit also featured an efficient air-to-water intercooling system. The only thing better than big boost is big intercooled boost. Unlike some centrifugal super charger kits that come with an intercooler that mounts in front of the radiator. The Kenne Bell kits places it under the supercharger, and forces the boosted air through it.10. Knowing inlet restrictions severely limit supercharged performance, the supercharged stroker was equipped with a massive oval throttle body. The oval throttle body flows more air as compared to a conventional round blade, because it eliminates the restrictive central bridge section inherent in a dual-blade throttle body. Every portion of the internal section of the throttle body is used to flow air. The oval throttle body employed on this motor flowed 2,150 cfm (2,350 cfm with a radiused inlet), as compared to less than 1,000 cfm for a stock throttle body.
11. Assembled and installed in the Challenger, the supercharged stroker was equipped with a set of 80-pound injectors, dual 255 ltrs/hr fuel pumps augmented Kenne Bell 17V Boost-a-Pumps and a 3.375/7.5-inch pulley set up. The fuel system upgrade included 80-pound injectors (spacers were used to mount the rails with these taller injectors), and a pair of 255 ltr/hr in-tank fuel pumps. The flow rate of the pumps was further augmented by increasing the supply voltage to them from 12-13 volts to 17 volts. Pump flow is a function of pump size, speed, and head pressure. Increasing the supply voltage to the pump increases the pump speed, which in turn increases the flow rate. The stock injectors flows 35 lb/hr at 58 psi, and will not support the power level of the supercharged stroker. The fuel lines were also replaced with -6 lines and AN fittings to ensure adequate flow.12. Elevated boost levels require precise tuning. Miss the ignition timing by a degree or two and you can say goodbye to that expensive supercharged stroker. Adam Montague from ST Motorsports was on hand to dial in the air/fuel and timing using Diablosport software. The tune for a stock install is supplied using a hand held tuner (flash device), but the combination of boost, increased displacement, wilder cam timing, and ported heads required extra time on the street and chassis dyno for our application, to ensure ideal air/fuel mixture and timing under all conditions is accurate. It was not possible to use an off-the-shelf tuner.13. After a break-in period, the Challenger was strapped to the dyno for fullpower runs. Blower pulley changes eventually increased the boost pressure to 23 psi, where the supercharged Hemi eventually pumped out 989 Hp and 907 lb-ft of torque. Run at 18 psi (900 whp), the Challenger has run a best of 9.96 At 138.9 mph on slicks.

WASHINGTON – A new scam in Fairfax County has some residents worried they better pay up or their electric meter might explode.
Dozens of residents and small business owners tell police they got a phone call from someone telling them their meter was broken and their electricity would be shut off and the meter might explode if they don't pay — sometimes more than $500 dollars.
The scammer instructs the victim to purchase a prepaid debit card at a convenience store and call him back with the card's number, police say.
The scammer speaks in Spanish and on several occasions has identified himself as "Jose Martinez." The suspect appears to target all ethnicities, but recent targets have largely been Latino residents.
Fairfax County police urge residents to call their utility company as well as police if they receive such a call.
Additionally, they remind residents to never give out their social security number, credit card number or banking information to anyone who initiates contact.
"If you receive a call from someone claiming to be your utility company and feel pressured for immediate payment or personal information, hang up and call the utility to report the incident," says a press release.

Wednesday Afternoon News, Jan 9
Water Line Breaks...Floods Gehlen Catholic
(Le Mars) -- Officials with Gehlen Catholic School arrived at work this morning, only to be greeted with several gallons of water seeping into the elementary classrooms. A water line had broken sometime during the evening hours spilling water into the old convent. Gehlen principal, Jeff Alesch describes the situation.
Listen to
The flooding forced school officials to dismiss classes early. Staff, faculty, and some students then grabbed shop vacs and squeegees and started the clean up process. Cabinets and computers and other educational materials were moved to areas not affected by the flooding. Alesch doesn't know how much damage has been sustained, but he did say that some carpeting would need to be replaced. Gayle Sitzmann, Superintendent for the Le Mars Water Department says it was not a city water line that broke.
Listen to
Sitzmann says only Gehlen Catholic School was affected by the flooding, and none of the homes near Gehlen sustained any water problems. Sitzmann says several city departments helped with the clean up.
Listen to
Gehlen school officials did say that classes would resume on Thursday.
City Council Discuss Meeting Start Times
(Le Mars) -- City Council members are wanting the public's input as to the time they should hold their council meetings. Councilman John Leonard brought the idea to the attention of the council during their meeting held Tuesday. Leonard prefers a later start time.
Listen to
Leonard says the people that have to punch a timeclock are not allowed the opportunity to attend city council meetings. Rex Knapp, a 20-year veteran of the city council, says he remembers when council meetings began in the late afternoon, as well as early evening. Knapp says people wouldn't necessarily attend at those times, and often were upset because the meetings may run long. He says it doesn't matter when the council has its meetings, if an issue deeply affects the city's residents, they will show up.
Listen to
The council did not take any action on the issue. Currently, the city council meet on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 12:00 noon at the city council chambers.
More Buildings Constructed Adding To County's Tax Revenues
(Le Mars) -- Plymouth County Residents built more buildings and homes in 2012 than the previous year, and as a result, the county was able to have more tax revenues. Plymouth County Zoning Administrator Alan Lucken divides the structures into two categories: non-farm and farm.
Listen to
Lucken says a year ago, Plymouth County awarded 54 building permits, with 11 homes at a total tax valuation of over $3 million. As for farm buildings, the Zoning Administrator says this year also saw an increase in building permits.
Listen to
Lucken says there were several farm machinery storage facilities that were constructed in Plymouth County during the past year.
Listen to
A change in depreciation schedules may have influenced new construction.A year ago, tax revenues from newly constructed buildings was at 14 million dollars. In 2012, tax revenues from new buildings exceeded $20 million.
Court To Decide If Allergy Is A Disability
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - An Iowa appeals court says a child's tree nut allergy is a disability, a ruling that sets up a legal challenge over whether a daycare discriminated when it refused to accept her.
The ruling Wednesday says the allergy is a protected disability under the Iowa Civil Rights Act. It overturns an earlier decision by a Polk County district court.
Shannon Knudson sued the Tiger Tots Community Care Center in Madrid after officials told her staffing and liability issues prevented them from watching her daughter.
The appeals court says the child's allergy is an impairment defined under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The court now seeks further proceedings on whether the allergy would substantially limit a major life activity when active.
Appeals Court Tells U of I To Turn Over Records
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa Court of Appeals says the University of Iowa must release a settlement with a former medical school employee who left after a personnel dispute.
The court Wednesday rejected the former employee's lawsuit, which argued the document shouldn't be released in response to a records request by The Associated Press filed two years ago.
Rather than divulge the record, the university gave the employee time to challenge its release. The employee did so under the pseudonym, John Doe. The AP intervened in the case.
A judge last year ordered the record's release. Doe appealed.
The court says the agreement changed Doe's duties but maintained his salary for a year before his 2011 resignation. It says the public has a right to know how money's spent to settle university
Immigrant Driver's Licenses
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A legislative committee is hearing arguments on an Iowa Department of Transportation policy that prohibits driver's licenses for certain young immigrants allowed by
a new federal rule to live here.
The Administrative Rules Review Committee is considering Wednesday the DOT rule which doesn't allow driver's licenses or identification cards to be issued to immigrants brought into the
U.S. as children by parents who were not legal residents.
President Barack Obama has enacted a policy that lets these immigrants seek a renewable, two-year reprieve from deportation if they meet specific age, residency and education requirements.
The Iowa DOT says the policy doesn't make the immigrants legal citizens so it can't issue licenses.
The American Civil Liberties Union and other civil rights groups are fighting the DOT saying licenses should be granted.

Some good advice here. Talk with your outfitter - they will recommend different brands to look at and also a pack size you will need. How much gear do you need to pack? How many days is your trip? All of these things will factor in to the pack size you will need. Try a few different brands and models out and see what fits you properly. Mystery Ranch is another for you to consider. With the amount of money this trip will cost be sure to invest in quality gear - especially boots and a pack. From what I hear about Alaska Dall hunts I would be sure to have good rain gear as well.
Sorry - I'm late on the post I see you have already purchased a pack.

Occam's Razor means 'With all things being equal , the simplest explanation/answer is normally the right one'
Don't get pounded on the boards, don't commit a ton of turnovers, hit our layups, a decent % from the free throw line as well as the floor and we are in it. Last year CB was very aggressive with the ball early, their bigs fouled him a lot.
A lot has to go right for us and go wrong for them.
1. Brackins and gilstrap need to show up and play like the pro prospects that they are.
2. A role player needs to step up and hit some big 3's, maybe Scott.
3. Force turnovers
4. Be aggressive offensively forcing KU into foul trouble.
5. A little luck down the stretch doesn't hurt.
6. Feed off the energy from the fans which I hope we can bring.
7. Make the damn free throws.
I can see us hanging around in this game if the things that I mentioned happen.
Slow down Collins and rebound really well and we win. Sounds simple right?

Actor-turned-TV presenter Mario Lopez is set to reveal all in his first memoir.
The former "Saved by the Bell" star will release "Just Between Us" in September and he reveals the book will detail some of his "most intimate never-before-told stories".
The autobiography will answer some questions about his month-long marriage to actress Ali Landry in 2004, which was annulled and his "often tumultuous and largely public love life".
A statement from Lopez, who is now happily married with two kids, reads: "I share my most intimate stories and pivotal moments, some of the best and most important times of my life and the heartbreaking mistakes that still haunt me. There are no do-overs in life, so I had to learn to pick myself up and move forward, never forgetting the hard-won lessons."
This will be the second memoir from a former "Saved by the Bell" cast member following Dustin Diamond's 2009 book "Behind the Bell."

Safe and Dangerous Places in Naples
by Kristen Berry. Posted Oct 4th 2010 09:40 PM
Continue ReadingThose planning family trips to Naples, Fla. should know that crime rates in this city are low. In fact, the Collier County Sheriff's Office reports that in 2009, Collier County had the lowest crime rate of any metropolitan county in Florida. Of the 67 counties in Florida, ten had a lower crime rate than Collier County and the majority of these counties were in rural areas. Despite these promising statistics, there are certainly areas to avoid in Naples. Timing, location and the activities you're planning play a large role in determining dangerous areas and safe areas.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court is broadening its examination of affirmative action by adding a case about Michigan's effort to ban consideration of race in college admissions.
The justices already are considering a challenge to the University of Texas program that takes account of race, among many factors, to fill remaining spots in its freshman classes. The Texas case has been argued, but not yet decided
The court on Monday said it would add the Michigan case, which focuses on the 6-year-old voter-approved prohibition on affirmative action and the appeals court ruling that overturned the ban.

KLEM News PM Update April 30, 2010
Assistant city administrator Bill Cole today announced the city was awarded another 20-thousand dollars from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Solid Waste Alternatives Program known as SWAP.
The funds awarded as a forgiveable loan are for the Le Mars Recycling Totes project. According to an interview with Cole on KLEM earlier this month, the goal is to get more blue recycling totes to Le Mars residents without charge and reduce the number of weekly garbage collections because waste is being recycled.
According to the notice from an Iowa Department of Natural Resources, the next step in the process involves drafting the contract for the forgiveable loan funding .
(ORANGE CITY)--A musical and music are part of the 70th annual celebration of Dutch heritage in Orange City May 13-15th.
The annual Tulip Festival is signaled by thousands of tulips blooming in primary colors to delicate pastels and deep hues.
The annual musical, "Bye, Bye Birdie," is presented for the first time on May 12th with performances through Saturday night.
An Andean band, Ecuador Manta, performs on the Sioux County courthouse lawn May 15th.
After all the parades, street scrubbing, Dutch costumes , a car and quilt show, fireworks will light the night sky Saturday night, May 15th, closing out the Orange City celebration.
STORM LAKE, Iowa (AP) Storm Lake police have begun using a program that will extend an immigrant's visa if he or she is needed at a trial.
The program allows police to endorse the extension of a U-visa if the immigrants meet several requirements, including assisting authorities in pertinent investigations.
The department's use of the program is part of an effort to get better cooperation with police within the growing immigrant community in Storm Lake.
Storm Lake Public Safety Director Mark Prosser says the program could get more ``good information'' to law enforcement agencies.

HAMPTON, Iowa (AP) A former tenant is suing the apartment complex where her toddler son and another woman were killed in a fire.
Renya Alonzo de Arroyo has filed suit against the two owners of the Hampton complex, saying they were negligent because there was no fire extinguisher in the apartment and no safe way to get out of second and third floors of the building during a fire.
The 22-month-old boy, Luis Rey Alonzo Garcia, and a 25-year-old woman, Mackenzie Blandau, were killed in the Feb. 14 fire.
Arroyo wasn't in the apartment during the fire.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) The discovery of a disease that has killed about one million bats across the U.S. led the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to close three state caves and recommend private caves to do the same.
White fungus appears on bats that suffer from the disease, called white nose syndrome. It causes them to fly more often than usual, leading to lower body fat, wasting, and eventually death.
It is not a threat to humans.
The closure of caves in Maquoketa, Burlington and Jones County could force the closure of the three state parks that support them. The caves are generally the parks' largest tourist attractions.
State zoologist Daryl Howell says about 2,000 bats live in Iowa caves between October and March.
WAVERLY, Iowa (AP) A South Dakota man was killed early Friday morning when he fell out of a truck on a northeast Iowa highway.
The Bremer County Sheriff's Office says in a release that they found 25-year-old Nicholas Hudelson of Sioux Falls, S.D. on Highway 218 with fatal injuries at about 1 a.m. on Friday.
Hudelson was pronounced dead at the scene. The sheriff's office says no foul play is suspected.
The Iowa State Medical Examiner's Office will conduct an autopsy on Hudelson.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) An overflow of wastewater from a construction site spilled into a creek and farm field on Thursday, forcing authorities build a dike to contain the sewage.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says in a release that about 1,000 gallons of sewage reached the creek near the Iowa State Fairgrounds.
A contractor was adding sewer lines to connect communities in the larger Des Moines metro area to the city's Metropolitan Wastewater Reclamation Authority when a sudden surge of sewage overflowed the portable pumps at the construction site.
The DNR says the sewage reached a low spot on the creek and some of it reached the water.

Hi Folks,
Is there a manual that can guide me through the configuration for multiple domains? I have one domain that is a production domain, so I can't disrupt it for testing, but I have a second domain which is experimental, so I have complete liberty. When I answered the installation configuration questions, I answered everything as though I were going to immediately deploy to the production domain, so I need to know how to introduce the second domain.
Thanks for the help,

IT in 2011: My Predictions
As we enter 2011, businesses are busily refining strategies for harnessing and leveraging IT in the year ahead and beyond. It's crystal ball time once again, so based on countless interactions with CIOs, industry analysts, vendor executives and other thought leaders over the course of the past year, here are my predictions for the top trends that will impact IT in 2011.
The Need for Speed is Relentless: For IT departments, the need for speed comes in two flavors: How fast can we provision IT infrastructure to process a given workload? And, how fast can we process the workload itself and turn data into actionable information? Cloud computing affects speed of provisioning by enabling rapid deployment of certain application services via the Software as a Service (SaaS) model. Speed does not kill, slow kills. Here is what I mean by that - businesses are going to survive and thrive because their IT infrastructure is fast and agile.
Fabric-based Infrastructure Gains Traction: Converged data and storage network fabrics will move from prototype to deployment as the Data Center Bridging (DCB) standards become well understood and iSCSI and FCoE networks move into the mainstream. Fabric-based infrastructure that abstracts processors, network bandwidth and storage into federated pools of easily deployable IT infrastructure will move from lab trials to mainstream deployment.
Virtualization Deployed for Production Workloads: A recent IDC survey found that customers are looking to not only increase the use of virtual servers, but also to increase the number of virtual machines per physical server. IDC forecasts that virtualized server shipments will grow at twice the rate of the entire server market through 2014. I predict that a significant part of this growth is going to come from virtual servers becoming a popular platform for mainstream applications. And, with solutions like IBM System Networking's VMready, data center networks that tie together servers running these mainstream applications can now be made Virtual Machine-aware, thus removing a critical barrier that prevented enterprises from not being able to virtualize their mainstream applications.
Time Sharing at a Bureau is Back in Fashion: The tremendous interest in cloud computing is warranted because of the cloud's promise of greater ROI and improved efficiency. SaaS-based application delivery will continue to gain in popularity in 2011 as a ready means of cost reduction, and simplicity. It's a proven model, people….remember the 80s when enterprises shared CPU cycles on a large mainframe in a data processing bureau? Driven by privacy and regulatory concerns surrounding mission-critical data and customer information, enterprises will turn to the hybrid cloud model, deploying private clouds for essential information and using hosted and/or public clouds for less-critical data and applications, where the cloud can provide cost reduction and capacity on demand.
The Data Center Becomes Ever More Strategic: With less-essential workloads offloaded to the cloud, the in-house data center will become a highly leveraged business asset. The data center will operate a mix of dedicated processing, virtual servers and private cloud computing, with each considered a strategic IT asset. The in-house data center will be looked to for the advantages of what I have termed "rackonomics" for the greater ROI and improved efficiencies that come from deploying standardized racks of compute, storage and networking infrastructure, and will also be valued for what others have termed "cloudonomics" and "convergonomics." Regardless of the economic model, for many industries and IT tasks, the in-house data center will remain a strategic business asset.
Security and Mobility will Redefine the Data Center Edge: Enterprises and their customers are using smart devices, such as iPads and smart phones to access corporate applications, in record numbers. This ubiquitous use of mobile computing will require ever greater amounts of bandwidth and place greater demands on the network, both in terms of security and mobility.
2011 is the Year of Smarter Systems: A smarter system is one that is optimized for a given workload and one where all the essential elements – compute, storage, software, and the network that connects all these pieces together is pre-packaged in a rack or multiple racks ready-to-use. All the customer needs to do is plug this system into an electrical outlet and start using it….just like we use our laptops today.
Real-Time Analytics Drive Business Decision Making: More powerful computers and faster networks will enable businesses to make more-informed decisions. It will become increasingly possible to run predictive simulations and real-time business analytics that forecast futures, rather than to simply provide after-the-fact analysis, which promises significant breakthroughs in business results. For example, GM is using high-powered IBM computers to simulate crashes and find ways to both prevent crashes and improve passenger safety when collisions/accidents occur.
Data Centers Will Become the Most Expensive Piece of Real Estate Anywhere in the World: With so much capital being invested in IT infrastructure, the "occupancy rate" of the data center will remain a key concern. Blade servers will increasingly give IT departments the flexibility they need to add incremental compute power and enable higher utilization in the data center. Blade server architectures will continue to gain in acceptance and market share in 2011. I also expect a new wave of blade center technology innovations to take hold in the latter part of 2011.
All-in-all, 2011 is most certainly going to be the year of Information Technology and a very promising one at that.

NUXE is now offering a collection for Men. It is important for men to take care of their skin just like women do. Because Men's skin is thicker, oiler and more sensitive, this first men's line has been designed exclusively to meet their needs. This affordable collection offers 6 plant-based products.
Men's skin still requires many of the same types of treatments: Moisturizing, strengthening, anti-aging and protection. Men require specialized care to keep their skin healthy and attractive; they need the specially formulated NUXE Men products to address their particular needs. The balances of botanical extracts keep the oil levels in check, the tissues properly hydrated and to protect against the wear and damage that comes with shaving. There is another difference between men and women that has to be taken into account: Most men are simply not willing to spend as much time as women on skin care, so NUXE Men formulas are easy to use, with fewer steps involved in their use.
Formulated with 79% of natural origins ingredients and without parabens. The star active ingredients are Oak and Hornbeam, recognized as soothing ingredients, Sandlewood and Phellodendron used to increase skin hydration and suppleness, Araucaria which serves as a skin protector against stress and climate changes and Baobab which offers moisturizing and soothing properties. This collection includes 3 patents and is the perfect introduction to men's daily beauty routine.
NUXE Men products are Paraben-Free.
Different skin types require different approaches to skin care. Because men's skin is different than women's, NUXE Men products are formulated to take those differences into account. Beyond the obvious issue of hair, men's skin tends to be thicker and is oiler because of the greater number of sebaceous glands. Because most men shave their faces, their skin also tends to be subjected to more stresses.
Keeping skin moisturized, protected and healthy is as much a concern to men as to women, but their requirements are a little different. NUXE Men products are designed to provide skin care that is formulated specifically for their needs.
The lightweight formula of NUXE Men Moisturizing Multi-Purpose Gel absorbs quickly into the skin, where the botanically based formula works to soothe and calm. It also balances skin oil, both moisturizing skin tissues with such emollient as African baobab (Adansonia digitata) seed butter and barley extract, while providing a matte surface for oil-prone zones on the face. Allantoin, derived from the comfrey plant (Symphytum officinale) helps heal damaged skin while several powerful antioxidants, including bark extract from the Amur cork tree (Phellodendron amurense), provide long-term protection for the skin. This gel can be used on all skin types and is recommended for use after shaving and at night.
With a suite of botanical extracts and silica, NUXE Men 24hr Protection Deodorant does not need to include aluminum salts to be effective. Not only does it last all day, but it can be used even on sensitive skin. The formula doesn't even stain clothing or leave a residue.
Since a large number of men like to use the same soap for body and hair, why not provide a product that does both – properly? NUXE Men Multi-Use Shower Gel uses a botanical, pH balanced formula that gently cleans skin and hair without soap and without drying effects. Suitable for all skin types, it provides skin-softening emollients and protecting antioxidants.

Spring Training Lineups: New Blogs and Chats
For those of you looking for even more insider info on the Royals, we've got a couple of new outlets for you to explore…
From the Booth: The newest member of the Royals broadcasting team is wasting no time in getting to know the fans. Steve Stewart, who joins Denny and Bob Davis in the radio booth this season, will be blogging about his first year following the Royals. Steve's "From the Booth" blog launched today, so drop in and extend a Kansas City welcome: http://stevestewart.mlblogs.com/.
In Focus with Brian Bannister: Banny is taking a different approach to interacting with you all by doing a mailbag-style chat twice a month throughout the season on royals.com. Fans can visit royals.com/infocus or email a question directly to email@example.com. Banny mentioned this in the latest Royals Relay Chat. By the way, if you missed the chat, check out the full transcript here.
For those of you wondering about the "In Focus" reference…along with his outstanding work on the mound during his rookie season, Brian is also pretty well known for his outstanding work behind the camera. Although, he's taking a breather from photography to focus on pitching, "In Focus" is a shout out to the right-hander's other passion. Credit for the clever name goes to Royals marketing guru Curt Nelson. Not bad, right?
More on Banny: The right-hander got in some extra innings today in AAA game down in Surprise, Ariz. Although he didn't face too many Major Leaguers, the extended throwing session is all part of the process for being up to par when the season starts.
Onto the Big League Field: Today's 3:05 p.m (CST) game is against the Los Angeles Angels. Luke Hochevar takes the mound for the Royals, still looking to make a strong bid to crack the rotation. Here's the rest of the Royals lineup…
DeJesus – CF
Callaspo – 2B
Gordon – 3B
Guillen – RF
Gload – DH
Shealy – 1B

Hanging without hang-ups
We freeze when it comes to a few everyday details around our homes, such as hanging art and draperies. The thought of peppering the wall with nails from feeble attempts is a downer.
As for securing heavier objects -- mirrors and cabinets -- we often don't do it ourselves because we're afraid they'll be crooked or come crashing down.
So we called on the pros to help us conquer these trip-up tasks. They showed us the correct way to measure and how high to hang the hardware. With practical steps in hand, you'll be armed with ways to save time, money and the aggravation of patching holes before repainting the walls -- again.
Hanging mirrors
Hanging draperies
Nothing stops an eye like curtains hung too low, which make a room seem shorter. Shawna Hampton, of Modern Haven Interiors in Olathe, Kan., says:
For ready-made treatments:
For custom draperies:
Newer drapery hardware
A cable system -- rather than rods -- for draperies is gaining popularity for its minimalist look and space-saving ability. Find them online from West Elm or IKEA, or make them from parts found at a hardware store or home warehouse. You'll need sturdy steel cable, two heavy-duty screw-in hooks, two turnbuckles, wire cutters and wall anchors (the cable can be cut to length in the store or with a small cable cutter). The system is good not just for windows but also for dividing a large room into a smaller niche -- for example, curtaining off a bedroom in a studio apartment.
Hanging art
More of us are downsizing, which leaves less wall space for art. Another challenge is that many of us don't have one piece large enough to dominate an entire wall. The solution: salon-style art hanging, a floor-to-ceiling collage. In French, "salon" refers to a gathering place for an exchange of ideas.
Designer Jonathan Adler says he loves the salon solution because it gives presence to petite pieces. But the look can go hodgepodge in a hurry.
"Anchoring a wall with three larger pieces is a great strategy," Adler says.
Professional art consultant and installer Jackie Warren, of Kansas City, Mo., agrees.
"Then you can build on a collection and add to it over the years," says Warren, owner of Artistic Solutions.
Adler has salon-style art tips in his book "Jonathan Adler on Happy Chic Accessorizing" (Sterling Innovation, $17.95). "Think of the ensemble as one big artwork."
Composition: Start at the center and work outward, leaving roughly even spacing between pieces. The more disparate the artworks, the better. Balance size and frame weight, alternating big and small, vertical and horizontal, to create rhythm and balance.
Placement: Go floor to ceiling, or group objects loosely in the center of the wall. Just beware of hanging too low (where pets and young children might jostle it) or right above a sofa (where anyone could disturb the arrangement).
Integration: Rather than stress about navigating art around your decor, incorporate furnishings and include lampshades and even TVs into the arrangement (this "hides" the flat-screen by surrounding it with canvases).
Unification: Warren helped marketing consultant Linda Adams Naftel, of Overland Park, Kan., hang art in her stairwell. Though the media is disparate (ceramics, photography, pastels), Naftel chose to arrange them salon-style by theme: figures in the upper half of the stairwell and landscapes in the lower half.
Before you nail it:
Map it. Warren's favorite planning method is to lay everything out on the floor. It's much easier than cutting out paper templates and taping them to the wall. Move things around until you settle on the most pleasing layout.
Measure for art. Measure 60 inches up from the floor to the center of the first piece you hang. If you have low ceilings, that number can go down to 58 inches. Avoid hanging anything too high, which looks awkward and brings the room down with it.
Handy hardware. When it comes to picture hangers and nails, the ones you find at the hardware store work fine; just buy according to the weight of the framed piece. With plaster walls, Warren uses painter's tape, making a small crisscross where the nail and picture hanger will go to prevent cracking. And she pre-drills into the tape, using a small bit. Ceramic pieces are typically pre-drilled so a professional art framer can wire it; then screws or a picture hanger will work.
When it comes to hanging groups of art at the same height, it's important to have a level. "Make sure to measure each individual work of art, because the picture wire on the back is installed at different heights," Warren says.
Go easy on the nails. Homeowners are asking for track systems (about $200 for a 12-foot track) with adjustable cables and hooks, Warren says. They are common in restaurants and offices and are handy for people who don't want to mess with re-nailing and repainting as art is switched out.
"One client likes it for his kids' artwork," she says.
Hanging cabinets
If you're remodeling your kitchen yourself or want to reuse existing or salvaged kitchen cabinets elsewhere in your home, hanging your own can save hundreds of dollars, says Krista Williamson, owner of K2Workshops in Overland Park. Hanging cabinets is a two-person job.
Prep the area first by patching imperfections and priming and painting the walls. Remove cabinet doors, drawers and shelves to reduce weight and allow easy access for mounting. Mark each cabinet door and drawer so you'll know what goes where.
1. To mark the location of your upper cabinets, determine where your lower cabinets will be. If you think your floor is uneven, find the high spot on the floor. Measure the height of your lower cabinets and mark that spot from the high spot. Measure up 54 inches from the high spot for the bottom of your upper cabinets. You may need to measure higher for shorter cabinets.
2. Create level pencil or chalk lines through those two marks (a laser level or 4-foot level works best).
3. Using a stud finder, mark your studs along the top line. If you don't have that tool, look for visual clues of nails or screws 15 inches apart.
Hang the cabinets:
1. Attach a 1-by-4 to the wall where you've marked your studs, matching the top of the board to the line.
2. Start in a corner or wherever is most logical. With a helper, lift the first cabinet into place, resting it on the 1-by-4. Drill holes in the cabinet at the studs, and using 3-inch or longer screws, attach the cabinet to the wall at the top. If there is a hanging rail (a thicker material at the top inside), attach the cabinet through it. If not, attach the cabinet through the back of the box at the top.
3. Use a level vertically to verify that the cabinet face is plumb. If not, shim by using spacers at top or bottom, and install the remaining hanging screws.
4. Lift the next cabinet into position beside the first on the 1-by-4. Use hand clamps to clamp the two cabinets' face frames together. Repeat the mounting procedure for the cabinet. Then drill pilot holes through one side of the face frame, and screw the two cabinet frames together for a tight fit.
5. Remove the 1-by-4, and fill the holes with spackle. Reinstall your doors and shelves. Caulk or use molding to cover any open joints between the cabinets and walls.
Installing lower cabinets:
1. Position the first, most logical cabinet (a corner or a sink). Shim the cabinet as needed to bring the top to the Lower-cabinet chalk line on the wall. Verify that the face frame is plumb, and shim as needed.
2. Drill holes in the back of the cabinet at the studs. Using 3-inch screws, attach the cabinet to the wall.
3. Set the next cabinet in place, shim as needed and clamp the face frames of the adjoining cabinets. Then attach the second cabinet to the wall. Drill pilot holes, and screw the face frames together.

So as you're gearing up for the biggest food holiday of the year—or if you're planning major meals for the December festivities and beyond—make sure you've got the right tools for preparing it.
What to Avoid
Nonstick Pans: Nonstick cookware is risky business. Sold under trade names like Teflon, Excaliber, and Silverstone, the coatings are made with a chemical called polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) which itself is made from perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). PFOA has been linked to male infertility, pregnancy difficulties, high cholesterol, and thyroid problems.
"A lot of times nonstick pans will say they have no Teflon, but they're still coated with PTFE," says Dr. Feister, "so it's basically Teflon." He adds that PTFE coatings have been found to emit six different toxic chemicals and have even been known to trigger something called "Teflon flu," characterized by headaches, backaches, and chills, when the pans are heated to a mere 100 to 104 degrees. PTFE-based coatings emit ultrafine particulates when heated to 464 degrees (when frying meat, a pan can reach anywhere from 400 to 470 degrees), and PFOA is released when the pans reach 680 degrees. Getting your pan that hot is easier than you think. Dr. Feister notes that tests by Dupont, which manufactures Teflon, have found that a pan preheated for 3 minutes and 20 seconds can reach 736 degrees.
PTFE-based nonstick coatings are sold under a number of brand names besides those mentioned above, so avoid anything advertised as Fluron, Supra, Greblon, Xylon, Duracote, Resistal, Autograph, Unison, Swiss Diamond, and T-Fal. This includes cookware as well as small appliances like toaster ovens.
Anodized Aluminum: Another material on Dr. Feister's watch list is anodized aluminum. Though it's an excellent heat conductor, aluminum has been linked to bone and brain damage and has been found to interfere with the central nervous system, he says. "Some studies have shown that it does cause cancer in estrogen receptors in human breast tissue," he adds. In cookware, it reacts with highly acidic or salty foods, imparting an undesirable metallic flavor to food, so manufacturers started to "anodize" it. In the anodization process, a piece of aluminum cookware is dipped into an acid bath, through which an electrical current is sent, he says. "That essentially causes controlled rusting," he adds, which forms a hard coating that prevents food from reacting with the metal. "But repeated exposure to acidic foods can cause deanodization," he says, "and you don't want bare aluminum touching your food." And if that's not enough, now Calphalon, the leading manufacturer of anodized cookware, has started adding PTFE to its coatings. It's unlikely that you'll find aluminum pots and pans that aren't anodized unless you frequent antique shops, but nonanodized aluminum cookie sheets are very common (more on those a little later).
What to Use
Cast Iron and Enameled Cast Iron: No surprise to anyone who's still cooking with his or her grandmother's cast-iron skillet, this is one of the best materials to have in your kitchen, both from a health standpoint and a durability standpoint. Dr. Feister cites historical evidence from Africa, where anemia (an iron deficiency) disappeared after people suffering from it started cooking with cast iron. And, he adds, cast iron makes food taste better. "If you really pay attention, you'll notice on cast iron that there's these little bits of food that tend to stick a little. They tend to caramelize a little," he says. "Those things make the food taste good. If it's truly nonstick, you're messing with some of the stuff that gives food flavor."
But not all cast iron is created equal. "The most important thing about cast iron is to know where it's made," Dr. Feister says. Cast iron that isn't made in the U.S. may have been made with recycled metal, which sounds good in theory but isn't really safe. "If somebody has taken a bunch of recycled metal and melted it down into your cookware, what's to say there's not lead, cadmium, or mercury in it?" he says.
Unfortunately, nowadays you have to make a compromise with your cast iron. The only American-made brand is Lodge Manufacturing, which recently discontinued its unseasoned cast-iron cookware line and now sells only cookware preseasoned with a soy-based vegetable oil that was likely made from genetically modified soy. Most of the unseasoned cast iron on the market is made in China or Taiwan and could contain the recycled metal. Still, Dr. Feister sticks with Lodge, based on the company's high quality, durability, and good track record for safety.
Enameled cast iron is basically a glass coating over iron. It's naturally nonstick, Dr. Feister says, and it's great for roasting meat and for making tomato sauces, which will react with regular cast iron and eat away at the pans' seasoning. Both Le Creuset and Staub, the two leading manufacturers of enameled cast iron, have lifetime warranties on their products, making them worthwhile investments. Because these products are so expensive, he recommends watching for sales, particularly this time of year. He's found them for as much as 70 percent off in January.
Stainless Steel: A good set of clad stainless steel pots will last you a lifetime, Dr. Feister notes. "Clad" means that the pots and pans are made from layers of heat-conducting metals, such as aluminum or copper, that are surrounded by stainless steel. Stainless steel is a poor conductor of heat, but it doesn't react with food and it doesn't pose any health threats. So you get the benefits of cooking with aluminum or copper (another good heat conductor that has uncertain health effects) without being exposed to them. A very small percentage of people are allergic to the nickel in stainless steel, he says, but the material won't pose any problems to the general population. Dr. Feister's preferred brand is All-Clad, which is made in the U.S. and comes with lifetime warranties. Just make sure it's not "bottom-clad" only; good-quality clad stainless steel is clad all the way around.
Glass and Stoneware: Finally, for all your holiday baking, stock up on glass Pyrex casserole dishes, pie pans, and loaf pans. Stoneware is another great alternative, Dr. Feister says. The Pampered Chef sells stoneware muffin pans and rectangular stone sheets that can be used for cookies. Most chefs prefer aluminum cookie sheets, however, because they're so good at conducting heat. If you do use aluminum bakeware, line it with parchment paper, preferably the type coated with silicone, not GM-based soy or vegetable oils or petroleum-based paraffin wax.
The Ideal Cookware Set: Buying a 10-piece set of pots and pans can be a waste of money if you wind up with a bunch of pieces you don't need. In addition to the glass and stoneware baking items, Dr. Feister recommends having the following pots and pans in your kitchen. They'll serve all your cooking needs without exposing you to toxic chemicals. And since the season of massive-markdown sales is nigh upon us, you might even find some at a discount.
• 12-inch All-Clad stainless steel skillet
• 10- or 12-inch Lodge cast-iron skillet
• 2- and 4-quart All-Clad stainless steel saucepans
• 5½- or 7½-quart Le Creuset enameled cast-iron Dutch oven
• 12-quart All-Clad stockpot.

NEW YORK (AP) - A defense lawyer has accused the government of panicking to paste together a crumbling case against a New York police officer accused of plotting to kill and eat women.
Attorney Julia Gatto made the claim Monday. She argues that a judge should suppress new evidence offered by prosecutors against her client, Officer Gilberto Valle.
The government says it has proof from a cellphone tower that Valle was near a Queens high school where one of eight intended victims was a student. It claims he was conducting surveillance there last May.
Gatto told a federal judge presiding over jury selection that the cellphone data was from a Saturday.
She says Valle graduated from the same high school.
A New Jersey man charged in the case will be tried separately.

|Lady Dragons earn one-point win over undefeated Caliche
|Written by Darci Tomky
"What a great win for the girls!" said coach Arlan Scholl after the Lady Dragon varsity basketball team defeated Caliche in a close 44-43 game in Holyoke Saturday, Feb. 2.
He said they played hard and expected to defeat the No. 1-ranked Akron team Friday, Feb. 1, but it "just wasn't meant to be," and the girls ended with a 40-59 loss.
"But the girls' character shined through on Saturday night as they came right back and defeated No. 1 and undeafeated Caliche," said Scholl.
He noted they made several mistakes on the court, but the real sign of character is how they reacted to those miscues. "And these girls kept their heads up and continued to fight until they brought home the victory."
Saturday's game was also Holyoke's annual Pink Zone event, which raised over $400 for Melissa Memorial Hospital Foundation in support of their local work to erase cancer. "The team and coaches would like to thank all of our Holyoke fans for their monetary support of our Pink Zone night," said Scholl. "This is important as we continue to fight the dreaded disease of cancer."
After playing the top-ranked teams in both 2A and 1A last weekend, the Lady Dragons still have some important games ahead of them. "We can't rest on these great past victories but must continue to work hard and improve to reach our goals for this season," said Scholl.

Holyoke 40, Akron 59
It was a hard fought battle in Dragon Gym Friday night, but the Holyoke girls just couldn't find a win against Akron.
They trailed 11-20 at the end of the first, with the majority of Akron's points put up by Sidney Merrill. HHS was again outscored in the second, giving the Rams an 11-point advantage at halftime.
Akron scored big in the third, with 17 points compared to Holyoke's eight. The Dragons grabbed 12 in the final period over Akron's 11, but the Rams had already sealed the 59-40 win.
HHS junior Maddie King led Dragon scoring with 14 points including three two-pointers, two from behind the arc and two for two in free throws.
Holyoke shot 11 out of 14 from the line for 79 percent. They sent Akron to the free throw line 35 times, with the Rams making 21 for 60 percent accuracy.
In team stats, King led rebounds with seven and blocks with three. Chandler Gerk and Erin Vieselmeyer each had two steals, and Megan Vieselmeyer finished with four assists.
Holyoke 44, Caliche 43
Coach Scholl is proud of the varsity girls for their one-point 44-43 win over Caliche on Saturday.
The close game held the crowd in suspense. Caliche had the upper hand in the first half, leading 9-6 at the end of the first and 20-18 at halftime.
The Dragons outscored Caliche in the third and fourth quarters 13-12 and 13-11 to come out on top for the win.
Scholl said it was back and forth scoring, so good defense and some key free throws at crucial times in the fourth quarter helped the Dragons clinch the win. HHS made seven out of 10 free throws in the fourth.
Senior Chandler Gerk and junior Audi Peña both put up 11 points for the Lady Dragons at Saturday's game.
King brought down 11 rebounds and six assists, and Peña and Gerk each had one steal.
Upcoming action
Saturday, Feb. 9, Holyoke will head to Wray for basketball action beginning at 2 p.m.

The information provided on this site reflects actual calls for police service received by the Department of Public Safety Communications (911 call center) and entered into the computer-aided dispatch system.
Often these calls prove to be very different from the caller's original description or information. For instance, a resident calls to report a stranger outsite a neighbor's home and suspects a burglary is about to happen. The call for service is initially entered into the dispatch system as a possible burglary. Officers arrive, investigate and determine the "stranger" is a neighborhood youth who has broken a fence slat while trying to retrieve his ball.
A destruction would be entered on to the map of that street and neighborhood because this site reflects calls for police service as closed by the responding officer, not criminal incidents as perceived by callers. Further investigation by police detectives may also change the call for service incident type, which will not be captured on the map. Users of this site are cautioned to keep this in mind when accessing information appearing on this site.
The data represented on this site will give the user insight into what responding officers are determining, through preliminary investigation, is occurring on a given street or area. Therefore, it would not be appropriate or accurate to use this data as a measurement of incidents of crime in Fairfax County. Any use of this data for statistical purposes; for comparison of criminal activity over time; or for any commercial purposes is strictly prohibited.
Users will notice that some crimes do not appear on any maps and others are lumped together, such as sexual assaults. This is done to protect the victims.
The same is true for the location of calls for service on each street. While officers may be called to 2614 Example Street, the address will be displayed as 2600 Blk Example Street. The point on the map representing that call will be located a fraction of the distance between 2600 and 2699. The point displays the general location, not the actual address, of the call.
The Police Incident information displayed on these pages is originally entered in the County's computer aided dispatch system and then processed into format that allows the information to be shown on a map. This process is called geocoding. Generally incident information is available for viewing with 24 hours of the time an incident is reported.

For the past few months, I've been concentrating pretty much solely on my legs, as I feel fairly confident in my upper body strength. I have been running about 3 miles every other day, and on the days I don't run, I do squats and lunges. A buddy and I loaded our packs today, and climbed the best hills we have here.. I'm almost amazed at how many more muscles I feel working getting out and stomping around with the pack on versus everything else I've been doing.
Of course, it might have been the 98 degree heat. 52 days until elk season, I fear I may not be ready.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron says he will return for his senior season with the Crimson Tide next year.
McCarron made the announcement in a statement released by the school on Wednesday. The Mobile native says the NFL is a dream, and he thinks another year at Alabama will help him succeed.
McCarron leads the nation in passing efficiency headed into the BCS championship game against Notre Dame, and he helped Alabama win the national championship last season.
McCarron's 26 touchdown passes this year is a single-season record for the Tide. He threw for 2,669 yards with just three interceptions.
Alabama coach Nick Saban says he's pleased McCarron is coming back. He says McCarron can add to what he's already accomplished at Alabama and better prepare for pro football.

Back Up & Dash Cameras
Backup And Dash Cameras
According to the U.S. National Safety Council, 30% of reported accidents occur when one or more vehicles involved are backing up. This totals to over 300,000 incidents a year and costs approximately $1.3 billion in damages. The news gets worse when personal injury is factored in, and young children fare the worst. On an average week in the U.S., 48 children are injured and 2 die as a result of vehicles backing up. In 82% of those cases, the children involved were under 4 years old, and most of that 82% consists of children under the age of 1.
