Alfred E. Smith Playground
Governor Alfred E. Smith Park
The greatest privilege that can come to any man
is to give himself to the nation which reared him.
-Alfred E. Smith, Governor
Alfred Emanuel Smith (1873-1944) was a great figure in New York State, New York City, and the Lower East Side. A son of Irish immigrants, Smith dropped out of St. James Parochial School to help support his family. However, his lack of formal education did not hinder Smith from becoming a renowned New York legislator and executive.
In 1904 Smith was elected to his first government office as a Democratic member of the State Assembly. While serving on the Assembly, Smith co-chaired the Factory Investigating Commission with State Senator Robert F. Wagner. Together they investigated labor conditions and passed laws to raise safety standards and limit work hours. In 1917 Smith was elected President of the Board of Aldermen. In 1918 he was elected the first Irish Catholic Governor of New York, a position he held for four two-year terms. A loyal supporter of improvements to the Lower East Side which he called "the old neighborhood"-Smith sponsored legislation for rent control, tenant protection, and low-cost housing. As Governor, he appointed Robert Moses as Chairman of the New York State Council on Parks in 1924, and as Secretary of State in 1927.
Smith made history in 1928 as the first Irish Catholic to be nominated for President. He ran as the Democratic nominee but lost the election to Herbert Hoover. Soon after his defeat, Smith and his family returned to New York City and moved into an apartment on Fifth Avenue. Smith became a central figure in municipal development. He supported the development of new housing and parkland that was eventually built near his birthplace, 174 South Street. The housing was to provide homes for the overpopulated Lower East Side, and to provide residents with open space and greenery on their doorstep. The Governor Alfred E. Smith Houses were erected in the early 1950s, and were named in memory of Smith, who had died in 1944.
Alfred E. Smith Park, located at the junction of Catherine Slip, Madison, and South Streets, was dedicated on June 1, 1950. The park features two memorials to Governor Smith, who was also known as "The Happy Warrior," "The King of Oliver Street," and "The First Citizen." Charles Keck designed the nine-foot bronze figure of the Governor and the bas-relief of children at play. The relief represents "The Sidewalks of New York," a song always played at Al Smith's campaign rallies. Paul Manship created the flagpole base decorated with animals native to New York before colonial settlement. The park includes a large children's playground and a plaza equipped with benches.
By 1963 the Lower East Side was suffering from a shortage of schools and recreational spaces. An agreement was reached between Parks and the Board of Education to relinquish a portion of the park for the new Public School 126. In exchange, the Board of Education would build a recreation center and cede the vocational school to Parks. The Alfred E. Smith Recreation Center was opened in 1967 with a new gymnasium and community rooms. The Human Resources Administration maintains the vocational school as a family shelter.
Today, the park is an oasis in a vibrant neighborhood. A capital reconstruction project, completed in 1997, brought new life to the playground. New modular play equipment, animal art, a spray shower, and a fire engine slide were installed in the playground, now the site of the City Parks Foundation's "Summer Fun in the Playground" program. The park and recreation center have become what Smith hoped would be a "happier home for his neighbors."

I was planning to do an antelope hunt in Wy before I had to have the surgery and would still like to try. Do you think it is possible with my limitations? If so are there any units that would be better considering my condition? I only have one pp and would wait to get at least one more but don't know if I should, never know what another year will bring. Any info would be appreciated.

Born on Sept. 12, 1954 in Hoboken, NJ, Pantoliano grew up on welfare in a public housing project and was raised by his father, Dominic, a hearse driver, and his mother, Mary, a bookie. Reading at a third grade level at age 17, Pantoliano decided that acting was a way out of a life that seemed destined to lead to criminal behavior. Because of his limited comprehension skills, he had to memorize his scenes just to audition. But his resilience paid off, as both his literacy and confidence increased. Pantoliano soon moved to Manhattan where he waited tables while studying acting under Herbert Bergoff at the HB Studio.

Studies show that in cultures where seaweed and other marine plants are an essential part of the local diet, people tend to live longer, healthier lives. Knowing the amazing impact that marine plant life can have on overall health and well-being, Thalgo set out to develop a line of healthy products to supplement daily nutrition for those who do not normally consume seaweed as a part of their day-to-day lives. After extensive research and experimentation, the Thalgo Supplements collection was born.
The products in the Thalgo Supplements lineup were developed by Thalgo, which has been a leader in skin care and health products since 1966. The items in the Thalgo Supplements range are each designed to meet certain wellness goals that are common in both men and women. Whether you want to lose weight, remove harmful toxins and impurities from your body or decrease signs of aging in your skin, the Thalgo Supplements collection has the perfect product for you. All of the supplements contain only the highest quality marine plant extracts and supportive ingredients for the highest degree of safety.

I purchased a non-resident general elk tag do to me not having my residency yet. I am also working in North Dakota as of right now, so with that the closest elk hunting to me is down by Ekalaka. There are two things that I am asking for some help on here. One is the tag itself, on the Montana FWP website it says;
Antlerless Elk. Only valid outside Natl Forest Administrative boundary. Boundary maps available at:
Forest Office -Ashland; FWP - Miles City; Broadus and license providers in area and on FWP website
So does this mean I cant harvest an elk on forest service land? Second, does anyone have tips on where to concentrate my efforts, or what doors to knock on. Im not expecting any hand outs, but a little help can never hurt. Thanks for your time and good luck this season!

Okay…not that tough of a word to spell, but it's the one John Buck is hoping to get this Sunday when he attends the performance of "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee," playing at the Music Hall in Kansas City, Mo.
The Tony Award-winning musical comedy is in Kansas City from May 1-6 and today the cast took advantage of the Royals' Thursday day game by coming out to the ballpark. Alan H. Green – one of the stars of the show – sang the National Anthem before the game, while 13 members of the cast gathered in the seventh inning to lead the Kauffman Stadium crowd in "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."
On Sunday, after we wrap a weekend series against Detroit, Buck, his wife, Brooke, and some of his teammates, will be guests at "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" evening performance, where Buck will be presented as a "Celebrity Speller." We aren't exactly sure what that means for Buck, but we're encouraging him to break out the dictionary just in case. To find out more about "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" or to purchase your tickets visit www.theaterleague.com.

Hi all,
This is my first map. I followed some tutorials to turn my hand-drawn mountains, trees, hills, etc, into Photoshop brushes. This is the first map I've created. I've taken care to shade everything the same direction. I'm aware that the rivers are all wrong in terms of flow - it's a plot point.
Basically, at the moment I'm creating the world so that I have something to write from. What I'm having trouble with is somehow creating cities with the same style as this map. Pointers?

The Gilbreth Library of Management documents the pioneering research of Frank Gilbreth and Lillian Gilbreth in the fields of time and motion study. Commonly referred to as the N-file, the collection covers the Gilbreths quest to find The One Best Way in job performance, worker satisfaction, efficient office management, and home economics.
Company files in the collection include: New England Butt Company, Regal Shoe Company, Remington Typewriter Company, Sears & Roebuck, National Cash Register, Pierce Arrow, Eastman Kodak, Lever Brothers, and Cluett Peabody & Company. A small portion of the collection covers the Gilbreths family life and Frank's army career during World War I.
Frank Bunker Gilbreth was born July 7, 1868 to John and Martha (Bunker) Gilbreth of Fairfield, Maine. The youngest of three children, Frank enjoyed a quiet childhood until his father's sudden death from pneumonia in 1871. For financial reasons, his mother was forced to move Frank and his sisters, Anne and Mary, to Boston where Martha opened a boardinghouse. Martha successfully managed the boarding house and along with a small income from her sister Caroline's artwork, was able to support the family and put her two daughters through college. After passing the MIT entrance exams in the summer of 1885, Frank decided to forgo higher education and entered the construction trade as a bricklayer's assistant. Frank noted that the bricklayers with whom he trained all had different approaches to bricklaying and he soon devised a method which eliminated unnecessary motions and greatly increased productivity. Frank quickly worked his way up within the company and was soon able to support his mother and aunt. In 1895, he started his own contracting firm, Frank Gilbreth and Company. The company became famous for finishing projects early and under budget. In 1902, Frank's firm finished building a laboratory for MIT in eleven weeks, a feat which so impressed a young engineering student that he begged the president of the university to arrange a meeting. The student was Andrey Potter (who later became the dean of engineering at Purdue University) and he and Frank Gilbreth became lifelong friends.
The marriage of Frank and Lillian Gilbreth began one of the most famous partnerships in engineering history. Lillian immediately became a full partner in Frank's business, working with him first from home but soon joining him on job sites, at business meetings, and participating in industrial conferences. Frank relied on Lillian tremendously and affectionately referred to her as "Boss." They collaborated on papers, speeches, lectures, and co-authored four books. In 1907, Frank met Frederick Winslow Taylor, the developer of time study, and became a disciple of the Taylor System. The Gilbreths became deeply involved in scientific management research and Frank was instrumental in the creation of the Taylor Society. In 1912, the Gilbreths left construction and focused their attention on scientific management consulting. They broke with Taylor in 1914 and formed their own form of scientific management which focused on the human element as well as the technical. In 1915, Lillian received her doctorate in psychology and incorporated her training into the family business. She saw the need to improve worker satisfaction which would in turn improve overall job performance and worker efficiency. Frank designed his systems to ease worker fatigue and increase productivity by studying each movement a worker made in a process he called micromotion study. The Gilbreths used still photographs and film strips to study worker movement in order to devise the "One Best Way" to perform a task. The Gilbreths also saw the need to improve the physical comfort of the worker and their innovations in office furniture design were ahead of their time and led the way to the study of ergonomics.
The Gilbreths work in time management and efficiency carried over into their personal lives. Early on, Frank and Lillian agreed to have twelve children, six boys and six girls, a feat which they accomplished in seventeen years. The children Anne, Mary (died at the age of six from diphtheria), Ernestine, Martha, Frank Jr., Bill, Lillian, Fred, Dan, John, Bob, and Jane soon became willing participants in their parents studies. The older children were assigned younger siblings to care for and all had daily housekeeping tasks, including the toddlers, who were given table legs to dust. Often Frank would recruit the children for help with his research including his motion studies on typing and surgery. The Gilbreths success raising a large family in which both parents worked full time was a testimony to their achievements in management and efficiency and their love for one another. After Frank's sudden death from a heart attack in 1924, Lillian not only carried on with their work but also managed to put every child through college. Lillian retired in 1968 and died January 2, 1972.

Antero to Spend $1.65 Billion Here
Company proceeding with drilling operations
February 2, 2013
ST. CLAIRSVILLE — Denver-based Antero Resources plans to spend $1.65 billion this year, fracking wells and producing natural gas in Ohio's Utica Shale and West Virginia's Marcellus Shal....
Lots of arm waving and TALK of spending big $$$ but my "takeaway" from this article is that they are drilling ONE well that is not completed yet in Monroe county.

Went to WalMart in St. Clairsville after dinner -- around 8:30 -- Friday night to buy some Super Bowl chicken wings.
Was amazed at the number of pipeline workers in the huge store. They owned the place, figuratively speaking. If I saw 20 guys I saw 100, all still in their dirty outdoor wear with the big, hightop boots, but more importantly: spending LARGE ON EVERYTHING.
I was impressed that so many (mostly young) guys have solid jobs with good wages.

Strange that "billions" supposedly have been spent in the area yet I've yet to see one red cent
And all that I've seen is my roads getting WORSE, my taxes getting HIGHER and thousands of drillers and pipe liners who don't pay ANY taxes or license and insure their vehicles yet use OUR schools and roads and county services!
Then you have counties RAISING property taxes on those of us that don't get a DIME from these gypsies!
If all this money ISN'T going to lower or ELIMINATE our taxes then where is it going?

Unc, sounds like the sour grapes of someone that didn't get a payment, begrudging those that did, Someone that doesnp't work in a store or restaurant or other business that benefits from those wages and the cash influx from the leases.

Botoxicboy is likely telling the truth for a change, but just proves my point.
When the TEMP jobs are down, what is left will be a few thousand permanent jobs, handful of landowner millionaires (who will leave the area for nicer climates), and another bunch of holes in the ground.
The Gas Biz will NEVER produce the number of jobs that steel or coal did in the day.

The Earth has been getting warmer -- but how much of that heat is due to greenhouse gas emissions and how much is due to natural causes?
A leaked report by a United Nations' group dedicated to climate studies says that heat from the sun may play a larger role than previously thought.
"[Results] do suggest the possibility of a much larger impact of solar variations on the stratosphere than previously thought, and some studies have suggested that this may lead to significant regional impacts on climate," reads a draft copy of a major, upcoming report from the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The man who leaked the report, StopGreenSuicide blogger Alec Rawls, told FoxNews**** that the U.N.'s statements on solar activity were his main motivation for leaking the document.

It's true what wraith says about the number of gas/oil/pipe jobs. There will likely NOT be a workforce of 20,000 as prior to 1980, but then again the OV has lost -- what? -- 10,000 in population? since those glory days. See what I'm driving at?
Uncommon I totally agree. The roads deteriorate as quickly as they are repaired. More noticeable now in winter because of the freeze/thaw cycle. And, property taxes are a serious issue. The logic that assessors use is that values increase overall when massive capitalization occurs in industry. The thinking is that if you own a house next door to a billion dollar gas processing pad then your house has appreciated by osmosis! I can sort-of accept the logic. BUT: the assessor and the County Commission should LOWER THE MIL RATE on private property rather than reap unearned profits.

Basically, nothing much has changed in over a century. Appalachia has always been and will always be an economic colonial "sacrifice zone". Yes, we are rich in natural resources, and there are a few people who stand to make a lot of money. But at what cost? "I don't mind being poor, but I do mind being poisoned."Judy Bonds

I am all for economic development, but not at the cost of the environment. Renewable resources exist that can take the place of oil and coal.
The industry statistics about methane being more environmentally friendly than coal are true; even though its ability to trap heat in the atmosphere is 80 times that of the co2 from burning fossil fuels.
A methane leakage rate from drilling, transportation, storage and movement of natural gas to its final destination, if held under 3%, will cause less harm to the environment than co2.
What the fracking/natural gas industry does not tell you is that the average leakage rate is around 14%, often higher. This amounts to an environmental catastrophe. The industry is hiding all this so they can get rich. And they seem to ignore the health consequences of those persons who live near fracking sites.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - As many of you get ready to cast your ballots, there's a good chance some of you are asking, does my vote even move the meter? We took to the streets to see how people feel.
That's when we ran into Angela White, who was visiting Georgetown from Mississippi. " I don't know um, with the Bush Gore election , like, the electoral college, like......."
Ah, yes, the electoral college. You probably already know you and I don't DIRECTLY elect the president. The Electoral College does. You can Google, it, but, when you get to 270 electoral college votes, you're the president. We kept asking.
A man too busy to give his name replied, "Yes it does, I'm in Northern Virginia."
Two college students were also too busy. "We're from New Hampshire so it's a swing state so I think it does," said one.
Location, location, location. Where you are translates to how much your vote really moves the meter. California has the most electoral votes at 55, D.C. is one of the spots that share the least: three. The farther down the ballot you go, the more impact. Let's review:
In 1994, the vote for Maryland's Governor was decided by 5,993 votes. That's out of 1.4 million cast.
In 2008, in Minnesota, Democrat Al Franken won a Senate seat by 312 votes, after a recount.
In 2010, Montana Republican Tom Burnett beat his rival for the House by 71 votes.
After a recount in 2010, Republican King Banaian won his Minnesota House seat by 13.
And we all know what happened in Florida in the year 2000.
Georgetown Tee's owner Mohammed Yasseri has been selling political t-shirts and stuff for 35 years. We asked him if he thinks his vote counts. "I hope so," he said. He shared with us that ever since President Obama took office, he's sold more t-shirts and knickknacks than ever before.
He also showed us his President Obama mug, retailing at full-price for $8.99. Then he showed us his Mitt Romney mug, now selling at the cut-rate price of $4.99, but that's getting off topic.
Lorie White, also visiting Georgetown from Mississippi, told us why she feels it's important to vote. "Why is it important to vote? Exercise your right. If you don't exercise your right, you can't complain."

Sounds interesting GP, looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
A temporary recall from retirement, this Challenge has got me intrigued, just too bizarre to pass up. I'm thinking of creating a story in the format of a Children's Book, one illustration and one stanza per page, with a map in the end that shows the journey taken.
As a preview to what is planned, here's the story in rhyme - its already written. It has the kind of sing-song style that Tolkien presented in his orc song in The Hobbit.
In case you can't tell, an Orc Christmas is about winning the Race War...
Note: final map is on page 5, post # 42 of this thread
The Twelve Nights of Yuleblood
When nights grow longest, and snows blanket all, tis the season of Yuleblood before Long Night's Fall, when spirit of First Orc visits our door, to decide if his bloodline will settle the score, as first among races in twelve nights, no more.
First night is hardest, a red wyrm we seek, hopefully in slumber atop a great peak, of gold and bright treasure and burnt hero bone, its dung that we want from that dragon sewn, something for spells for the shamaness crone.
Next we enter the Marshes of Men, who live in stone towers beside the Great Fen, taking a daughter or fat farmer's wife, we'll kill all the menfolk in glorious strife, then at midnight, we'll be taking her life.
Third to the forests where old enemy dwells, to those hidden archers and spell-casting elves, we won't chance to see the Woodlands nor Grays, nor their enchantments, nor arrow slays, we'll just put to torch, set their forests ablaze.
Gnashing and tearing, chomping and chewing, dining on halfling that's what we're doing, be better as elf-meat, if we had our due, we'll just settle for halfing, to be filled we need two.
The roots of old mountains, in holes of dwarf clan, where forgers are forging the shields of their band, whose gaunt bearded faces and beer bellied shapes, shall meet orcish spear points to pop them like grapes, we'll sunder their laughter and silence their japes.
Boom, boom bringing their doom, the giants are marching and they're coming soon, big as the mountains, but they're just as dense, we're setting the pitfalls for our needed defense, we'll kill them with guile as they have no sense.
Rotting and stinking with maggoty stares, undead afoot, don't get caught unawares, from battlefields ancient, the fallen of brave, we'll bash in their skulls with stone hammers and stave, and send the arisen back to their graves.
They smell of dragon, these tiny churls do, the kobold's a morsel in any orc stew, we'll track them and snack them and bring them to bear, or drive them to pit traps waiting to snare, since they breed like rabbits there's plenty to share.
Hiding in deep beneath driven snow, beneath even dwarf holds this habit of Drow, these ebon-skinned devils, like their brothers up high, still elvish blood born, an orc can't deny, we hear them and fear them and seek their demise.
On high to the mountains, to village's cold, barbarians raging and bellowing bold, due to the inks under their skin, tattoos are poison they must be flayed thin, an orc must be careful too much means death's grin.
Once all the raiders return from their raiding, we feast on the windfalls still left from our sating and offer the chief's cut to First Orc ancestor, not of the green meat that's started to fester, only the best of halfling, elf or a man's sister.
In winter we orcs go merrily a raiding, to honor the First Orc before spirit's fading, to sing of our endless racial war's fight, one that the orc will win through our might, and celebrate the Yuleblood on this twelve-th night.

Plate 2: dragon cave - an orc picking up some dragon dung...
Note it says page four, instead two, which means I need to change the previous illustration to say page three. I plan to place a title page and the map before the story begins, thus the corrected page numbers. I might add some detail to the first illustration, the room around the door looks too bare - need to fix that.
Anyway, moving right along - I like how this illustration turned out, much better.
PS: no WIP tag, yet, as these are illustrations only and don't count towards the challenge, its just extra credit for some fun!
PPS: I plan to make a PDF of the whole thing when I'm done...

I'll try to get the "burnt hero bones" in tonight...
Thanks, Ravs! I've always been the artist, just haven't had to show it except thru maps recently. Its been a while since I've just drawn like this.

Item # TXU0214
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Women's Tri Suits in stock than that.View Similar Products
2XU Long Distance Women's Trisuit $0.00
Have you ever thought about the amount of exposure that you receive over the course of a triathlon? No, not exposure of the red carpet variety. We're talking about the detrimental effects of the sun on your skin temperature. These lead to a rise in your temperature, and thus a rise in perspiration. And the more that you uncontrollably sweat, the closer that you are to bonk town. Lucky for you, 2XU has not only addressed this problem with its Long Distance Women's Trisuit, but it's basically solved it.
So, you might be asking yourself what gives this suit the 'long distance' designation when compared to 2XU's other trisuit offerings? Well, while you still retain retain 2XU's hallmark compressive efforts, the primary composition of the Long Distance is made from the ICE X fabric. This material takes a twofold approach to endurance, starting with its yarn being embedded with Xylitol. Yes, the sugar substitute. And like its application in gum, your skin will receive a cooling rush when ICE X is confronted with perspiration. Basically, the material operates as a refrigerant that rapidly evaporates moisture, then converting it into cool air. So, the fabric counteracts heat by utilizing its byproduct -- kind of like physiological recycling. Additionally, the second approach to endurance is the material's IR blocking properties. This means that infrared light is largely blocked from penetrating the skin. What's infrared? Infrared light is the most predominant form of radiation from the sun's sea-level irradiance. Basically, IR transfers around 16% more heat to the body than visible light. So, limiting your skin's exposure to this energy minimizes spikes in your skin temperature. In fact, 2XU claims that ICE X will actually lower your skin temperature up to 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
Specifically placed panels of the Trisuit have also been constructed from 2XU's 70D Kinetic Speed fabric. Basically, the '70D' stands for 70 denier. What's a denier? Simply put, a denier is a unit of measure for the weight of a fabric. Technically speaking, it measures a fabric's grams-per-9000-meters. And while a typical recovery compression piece features a material choice around 200 deniers and up, the Trisuit uses a lighter, less constricting 70 denier fabric. This means that you still receive a lightly focused graduated compression, but the most direct gains are made through limiting muscle oscillation. So, whether you're getting slapped by wakes, getting rattled in the saddle, or pummeled by your pounding on the pavement, the Kinetic Speed fabric provides an enhanced level of muscle support that will minimize fatigue. Additionally, this material utilizes 2XU's turbulent airflow technology in order to minimize drag while you're in the saddle.
For the chamois, the Trisuit features 2XU's Elite LD insert. Developed specifically for triathlon, the Elite LD uses a thin, yet ample, 3mm variable density padding. This design provides the necessary support while in the saddle, but it won't become irritable over the course of your swim or run. In fact, 2XU selected this chamois because of its impressive ventilation and quick-drying characteristics.
To ensure the Trisuit's fit, 2XU placed its own non-abrasive, elastic leg grippers. Entry and exit of the suit is handled by a 3/4 length front, semi-autolock front zipper, and nutrition storage is made possible by three rear pockets. For further comfort, the Long Distance Trisuit features a complete flatlock seam construction. So, you won't experience anymore pinching or painful rubbing over your body.
The 2XU Long Distance Women's Trisuit is available in five sizes from X-Small to X-Large and in the colors Black/black, Bright Emerald/grey, and Indigo/grey.

Long known for its wealth of stores along the famed Governor Ritchie Highway, Glen Burnie is truly a shopper's paradise. In addition to their old fashioned Town Center with an outdoor skating rink, Glen Burnie boasts three popular malls: Marley Station, Glen Burnie Mall, and Harundale Plaza. Only minutes away, avid shoppers can also explore the new Arundel Mills and Annapolis malls.
While Glen Burnie is easily accessible to Baltimore via I-695, public transportation is also a great option for many commuters. The Light Rail train, which spans all the way from Hunt Valley in Northern Baltimore County, to the Baltimore Washington International Airport, has several stops in Glen Burnie, making it a convenient means of transportation to many parts of the state.
Glen Burnie, with its active neighborhood association, is a close knit community, despite its large size. Every year, many residents attend the annual Glen Burnie Neighborhood Improvement Association carnival in addition to other seasonal events.
As part of the Ann Arundel County School District, Glen Burnie has a number of elementary, middle, and high schools within the town, allowing teachers to keep their class sizes small. Anne Arundel Community College, which offers Associate Degrees and other opportunities for continuing education, is also based in Glen Burnie.
Most properties in Glen Burnie are single family homes, although new condominiums and townhouses are also available. Cozy cape cods, ranch houses, and two story traditional homes make up the Glen Burnie cityscape, but new constructions with an emphasis on luxury design, brick facades, and Palladian windows are also available.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (WUSA9) -- The U.S. Marshal Service has arrested a man who they say is a sexual predator who targeted a minor in Fairfax County.
Jason Rouse, 21, was arrest on charges of sexual battery of a minor, object sexual penetration of a minor and forcible sodomy, officials said.
A warrant for Rouse's arrest was issued on October 31 by the Fairfax County Police Department, officials said.
Officials say that Rouse targeted a three-month old baby in Fairfax County for these crimes on June 2.
On Nov. 4, Fairfax County police requested the assistance of the U.S. Marshals Service's fugitive task force to help find this suspect.
On Nov. 12, U.S. Marshals located Rouse living with a family member on 213th Street in Queens Village, NY. Police say he was seen in a jacket and face mask that only showed his eyes.
Rouse was arrested without incident and awaits extradition to Fairfax County.

- Andy Murray on undergoing tennis' new anti-doping testing under the WADA code
Uh, there's a lot I could say about this quote by the Brit baller but I'll stick to the point: These measures -- known location one hour of every day, 3 missed appointments warrants up to 2-year suspension -- seem pretty severe as he (and Rafael Nadal) have described it especially since the number of doping allegations in tennis are far under the numbers reported by other sports.
And I suppose during tourneys it's especially hard because of the constant change of match schedules.
But until the ballers can organize and fight the new measures, they better make sure to pee into that cup in a timely manner...and let them watch if they want.

Schools Need A Fighter
July 14, 2013
West Virginia Board of Education members have more flexibility than in the past in selecting a new state superintendent of schools....
The most valid statement in your editorial was "But it is not the unions the new superintendent will have to battle. It's the toughest special interests of all - moms, dads and the rest of their communities." In the rural areas of WV the parents do not care about education, they think that the education system is out to get them and mistreats the poor little child everyday. Good Luck at fixing the culture if ignorance.

Remove Metadata from JPEG and PNG
Metadata in JPEG and PNG is a collection of data consisting information such as when the image is taken, the model of the camera used to take the image and many others. While this is good for anyone that needs such information, those who don't need it should remove it from the images. Metadata in images makes the size of the images bigger. Removing metadata from image, hence, reduces the image size.
If you need to remove metadata from images, JPEG & PNG Stripper enables you to remove metadata from JPEG and PNG images. This metadata remover is a portable software that supports Windows Vista and Windows XP as well as other Windows versions like Windows 95, 98, ME and Windows 2000.
Remove metadata from images
You can remove metadata from JPEG and PNG images simply by dragging and dropping all of the images onto the interface. Scanning the entire folder directly within Windows explorer to automatically remove metadata of all the images contained within is also possible if you activate the integration option to integrate the program with Windows Explorer.

Obviously, I have expressed my skepticism of Eikmeier and what he will be able to do at ISU.
Last night I was watching Arkansas play and they were talking about one of the Arkansas players (Patrick Beverly, G, 6-1, 180) and how prolific of a scorer he was in HS. It made me think of the many discussions we have had on this site about Eikmeier. So I decided to do a little research on Patrick Beverly and look at how his HS stats compare to his Freshman and Sophomore (so far) stats at Arkansas:
HS - Chicago Marshall (Sr. Year)
37 ppg
8 steals pg
6 asst pg
6 rebound pg
56% fg%
45% 3pt fg%
91% ft%
(scored 40+ 9 times, scored 30+ 18 times, made 9 threes in a career high 48 point game)
Freshman - Arkansas
14 ppg
2 steals pg
3 asst pg
4 rebound pg
42% fg%
39% 3pt fg%
81% ft%
(he was named the SEC newcomer of the year for his freshman performance)
Sophomore (so far) - Arkansas
12 ppg
1 steals pg
2 asst pg
7 rebound pg
39% fg%
37% 3pt fg%
66% ft%
This kid played a very high level of competition in HS and was ready to start right away in college. He also had what could be termed great success for a freshman (unless you compare it to the Durants, Conleys, Odens, and Beasleys of the world). And his stats fell considerably accross the board because playing in the SEC is far tougher than playing HS BB in Chicago.
What are your thoughts as to what Eikmeier will have for stats as a freshman at ISU coming from Fremont, NE Bergan HS?
I cheer for two teams, Iowa State and whoever is playing the hawkeyes.
8 ppg, 40% threes, 91% ft(that has nothing to do with school size) 3 as. 2 reb.
We get it. Don't you think you have beaten this horse to death?
That being said, I don't think he will have any stats. I think with Haluska's emergence, Ike redshirts.
As a freshmen I expect him to be a role player. He may be brought in if we want to stretch the defense. I don't expect him to start or be a serious scoring threat unless teams are collapsing on the post and he can get open looks from 3. Hard to say how he will develop as a player in McD's system.
I don't think I'm alone when I say I'd like to see more and more planets fall under the ruthless domination of our solar system.
One I can't help to think of when I think of Eik is Teddy Dupay. Dupay played against much tougher competition, but averaged 42ppg and 46% 3pt in high school. That translated to about 10ppg in college and 39% 3pt.
Follow me on Twitter at twitter.com/MarkHanrahan20
Check out my blog
and tune into "Extra Innings" Thursdays at 6pm on 1460kxno
The real truth is none of us know how his game will translate. He could be the next Kirk Hinrich, or the next Troy Skinner.
I would be tickled if we get 10ppg out of him as a freshman. Actually, that would be phenomenal.
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.
Hopefully McDermott feels comfortable with Buckley, Garrett, Staiger, Haluska, and Petersen that Eikmeier can redshirt.
If he does play, I wouldn't expect to see more than about 6-8 minutes a game and his stats will be similarly small. That is, unless he's just awesome beyond any reasonable expectation. :)
Can you analyze Raef LaFrenz's stats from his tiny HS tucked away in the Mississippi River valley of NE Iowa and see how those translated to college stats?

Don't forget we also have Boozer and Lee. I think both these guys could be important to the team next year.
That's what I think. Analyzing a kid's stats at Arkansas to continue a discussion about Eik? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Richard Bergström, the new man at the head of Europe's lead pharmaceutical industry association, is going to need all of these characteristics—and a lot more besides—if he is to succeed in coaxing a fragmented and deeply conservative sector to face up to the multiple challenges of the 21st century.
His job as director-general of the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) isn't made any easier by the speed at which the world is changing around the pharma sector. He took over in early 2011, at a time of unprecedented financial turbulence for the industry, and for Europe. And things have only got worse since then.Crisis-induced austerity programs in many European countries are biting cruelly into everyday pharmaceutical industry operations, often intensifying existing competitive tensions within the sector. An internal EFPIA document estimates that price cuts introduced in 2010 have lopped more than €5.5 billion off company sales in the region.
The longer-term threat of a collapse of Europe's social security schemes looms ever closer, in a perfect storm where an aging population drives massive demand for increasingly expensive healthcare against a background of rising unemployment and diminishing tax revenues.
While this is difficult enough to address at the national level, it is all the harder to deal with in the complex environment of the 27-country European Union (EU), with constant uncertainty over just which politicians and bureaucrats are driving policy, and in what direction. An added headache is the shifting dynamics of a world business environment that is tilting rapidly towards emerging economies, in which Europe's long-standing prominence in the pharma sector appears increasingly fragile.
With shadows over the future of the EU currency now darkening the political sphere and prompting fears of a collapse to outright depression, putting the very integrity of the EU under unprecedented strain, the question arises: Is Bergström that fresh face who has been handed a poisoned chalice?

Anyone who knows me well can tell you that I'm a total Internet junkie. I spend a lot of my free time online, browsing various sites like Youtube, chatting in forums with friends and otherwise killing time. As of late, though, one particular subject seems to have pushed itself into the forefront of internet denizens everywhere. That is, SOPA, or the Stop Online Piracy Act, a censorship bill which was proposed by the US House of Representatives on Oct. 26, 2011. It's created quite a buzz online, and with all the people talking about it and what it supposedly proposes, it's hard to get one's facts straight. Friends of mine claim that the government's trying to censor the internet, block access to certain sites - that SOPA will cripple the World Wide Web as we know it.
Ohio voter advocates say there was a big elephant in the room during the creation of Ohio's controversial redistricting map, and it was super tan and cried a lot. The Ohio Campaign for Accountable Redistricting says John Boehner was central in the process, working with map-making consultants and the National Republican Congressional Committee. Here's a link to the Ohio Redistricting Transparency Report. From The Enquirer:
"The report found: decisions were not made in public; public input was ignored; there was limited opportunity for the public to review proposed maps; the public was not provided with relevant data for proposed districts; nonpartisan redistricting criteria were not used; and the criteria used to evaluate plans were never publicly identified."
Despite the economic troubles affecting the state, Ohioans are smoking more than ever, according to a study that found the highest percentage point increase of any state. An official with the Ohio Department of Health attributes the increase to the stress people are under, though the Ohio General Assembly also cut funding to the state's smoking cessation help line, so there's that. Ohio ranked as the 36th healthiest state in 2011, down from 33 rd in 2010, while Indiana came in at 38th and Kentucky 43rd.
Occupy D.C. protesters built some type of structure in a park Saturday night, and police on Sunday notified them that they didn't have a permit and took it down, arresting dozens in the process. It was a pretty nice structure, though.
A new study has found high levels of arsenic in fruit juices that millions of kids are drinking because there's pictures of actual food on the label. Too bad government regulation is just a big waste of money that hurts the economy.
A full 10 percent of the juices tested by the magazine had arsenic levels higher than what is allowed in water by the Food and Drug Administration.
"What we're talking about here is not acute affects," Urvashi Rangan, director of safety and sustainability at Consumer Reports, told TODAY. "We're talking about chronic effects. We're talking about cancer risk. And so, the fact that 10 percent of our samples exceeded the drinking water standard underscores the need for a standard to be set in juices."
Consumer Reports tested 88 samples of apple and grape juices sold around the country. Included among those tested were popular juices like Minute Maid, Welch's and Tropicana.
"It would be the height of irresponsibly to commit funds they knew were not there," Rhodes said. "I've long criticized various governments for living in dream world.
"This takes it to a whole new level," Rhodes said.
Cincinnati police didn't give out any citations in Piatt Park last night, saving the people in the Justice Center a lot of paperwork and wasted time. Some occupiers and local homeless activists have planned a march on Saturday to highlight causes of homelessness.
New York officials delayed a monthly park cleaning that would have meant having to clean lots of protesters too. The movement is spreading to Canada, where occupy protests are scheduled to begin this weekend in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary, Vancouver and Halifax.
Occupy Cincinnati protesters lined up for more citations last night at Piatt Park, with more than 20 occupiers receiving tickets while more protesters stood outside the park, protesting in un-ticketable fashion. There are now about 15 tents in the park.
Authorities in Boston arrested approximately 100 Occupy Boston protesters around 1 a.m. this morning after warning protesters to return to their original little encampment. Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino says he sympathizes with the protesters but that they'll have to find ways to occupy that aren't considered civil disobedience.
More than 20 Occupy Cincinnati protesters last night received citations for staying at Piatt Park after its official closing time, a process which included warnings by police and then some peaceful ticketing before police left the occupiers to their business.

So you've just found the perfect little black dress and a sultry fragrance, but you need a few special pieces of underwear to work with it. From t-shirts to ball gowns, each outfit demands its own undergarments, and we can help you build your collection without breaking your budget. Whether you're looking for a bra that won't peek out or shapewear to enhance your figure for that big night out, Kmart has you covered.
We carry bras in sizes for everyone, including maternity and full-figured options. Sports bras are great for exercising or active workdays when you want to keep everything contained. The right strapless bras can turn your sleeveless shirt or strapless dress from a stress point into a confident fashion moment. The right bra can make you feel more confident and feminine, so be sure you're buying the correct size.
Shapewear is great for giving your figure a little extra help under tight clothing. The right shapewear makes you look more toned and fit. Different shapewear pieces serve different functions. Full-body shapewear are all-over helpers, controlling your tummy, thighs and waist in one fell swoop. Individual pieces can help focused on a particular area such as a waist cincher or a tank top to help give your torso clean lines under a sheath dress. Slips also work to smooth out your figure under your clothes. They keep clingy materials from sticking too close and can remove too-visible signs of underwear, such as panty lines or bra underwire.
Though intimates usually bring to mind underwear (and scandalous underwear at that), don't forget about the other intimates, such as pajamas. Even though not everyone will see them, pajamas can be a great way to indulge your sense of fun through color and design you can't get away with at the office. If you prefer a cooler body temperature while sleeping, a pajama set with shorts might be better for you. Pajama pants sets will be more suited for cooler weather or if you just prefer to be warmer while asleep. By keeping a fashionable, fun sense of style all day and into the night, you'll feel better about yourself. After all, confidence is the best accessory a woman can have.
When washing your intimates, make sure you're using the right settings on washers and dryers. Satiny pajamas, bras, woven scarves and panties are all delicates that can get damaged by hot water or by getting caught on parts of the washer or dryer. It may be best for you, depending on the type of material, to hand wash or hang dry these articles of clothing. A wash bag can also be beneficial for busy woman who don't have time to hand wash their delicates. The bag keeps your intimates protected during washing and drying, which can prevent snags. Cedar blocks in your dresser drawers can keep even your oldest socks smelling good.
Whether you need shapewear to look toned or just bras for every day, you can find what you need at Kmart. Invest in a mesh laundry bag for any intimates to keep them long-lasting and prevent damage. Browse Kmart for all of your intimate apparel, whether you need maternity wear, full-figured bras, shapewear and pajamas.

One of our new modules in the Modern Councillor catalogue is on the topic of the Localism Bill, which undertook to change the law to shift power away from central government and towards local people.
The bill is still going through Parliament, but it will be an important piece of legislation, especially for local authorities and the councillors who set the policies for them.
The Localism Bill focuses on several main areas, the most important of which are described below:
The general power of competence
The Localism Bill includes a 'general power of competence'. It will give local authorities the legal capacity to do anything that an individual can do that is not specifically prohibited; they will not, for example, be able to impose new taxes, as an individual has no power to tax.
Decentralisation and strengthening local democracy
The Localism Bill will give local people the power to initiate local referendums on local issues that are important to them. Local authorities and other public bodies will be required to take the outcome of referendums into account and consider what steps, if any, they will take to give effect to the result.
The Localism Bill will also give local communities the power to decide. The Secretary of State will determine a limit for council tax increases which has to be approved by the House of Commons. If an authority proposes to raise taxes above this limit they will have to hold a referendum to get approval for this from local voters who will be asked to approve or to veto the rise. This means that local authorities will need to convince local voters, rather than central government of the case for excessive rises in council taxes.
Community empowerment
In some places, voluntary and community groups who have bright ideas find that they do not get a proper hearing. The Localism Bill will give these groups, parish councils and local authority employees the right to express an interest in taking over the running of a local authority service. The local authority must consider and respond to this challenge; and where it accepts it, run a procurement exercise for the service in which the challenging organisation can bid. This will make it easier for local groups with good ideas to put them forward and drive improvement in local services
A radical re-boot of the planning system including neighbourhood planning
The government has identified some significant flaws in the planning system as it stands. Planning does not give members of the public enough influence over decisions that make a big difference to their lives. Too often, power is exercised by people who are not directly affected by the decisions they are taking. This means, understandably, that people often resent what they see as decisions and plans being foisted on them. The result is a confrontational and adversarial system where many applications end up being fought over. The Localism Bill contains proposals to make the planning system clearer, more democratic, and more effective.
Changes to social housing policies
The government believes current social housing policies contain fundamental flaws. The rules are too rigidly set by central government, so that councils find it hard to adapt and meet local needs. Social landlords don't have enough discretion over how they manage their housing in the best interest of their local community. And in some cases social housing rules actually trap people in difficult circumstances – making it hard to move for work, for example – with the result that the system fails the very people it is designed to help.
The Localism Bill will pass greater powers over housing and regeneration to local democratically elected representatives in London. It will empower the democratically elected Mayor to carry on housing investment activities currently carried out by the Homes and Communities Agency, and the economic development work done by the London Development Agency.
The Modern Councillor module on the Localism Bill takes the learner through the legislation in an engaging and accessible way – making it much more fun, and therefore likely to stick in people's minds, than reading lengthy documents on the subject!

|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Sterling city attorney Kelly Barlean filed Monday, July 6, with the Secretary of State as a Republican candidate for the University of Colorado Board of Regents for the 4th Congressional District.
"My background and experience will make me an effective Regent for our district. I will work to keep tuition affordable and to ensure that CU will be an institution to which we would be proud to send our children," said Barlean.
"A lot of people do not realize the amount of money the Regents are overseeing. CU just adopted a 2.6 billion dollar operating budget that is nearly three times the size of Denver's budget. That's some serious money that requires some serious oversight", said Kelly. "My past experience in negotiating and putting together a 20 billion dollar state operating budget has ably prepared me to serve on the Board of Regents."
Barlean also plans on being a customer-friendly Regent. "I will be a resource for high school educators, parents and students. CU should be a viable option for all kids to seek their degree and pursue their talents regardless of the size of their high school," said Barlean.
Barlean is a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy and the CU School of Law. He also attended Clackamas Community College in Oregon City, Ore. before he enlisted into the U.S. Air Force Security Service/Electronic Security Command as an intelligence analyst.
Based upon his performance in the intelligence community, Barlean received a rare appointment from the enlisted ranks to the Air Force Academy. After graduating from the Academy, Kelly opted to enhance his skill set for a return to the intelligence community by cross-commissioning into the U.S. Army Infantry where he served in the 101st Airborne Division. His military career ended when he was medically discharged for injuries he sustained in a combat training exercise jumping out of a Blackhawk helicopter.
After his discharge, Barlean obtained his law degree in Boulder then moved to Langley, Wash. and established a private law practice. Barlean was twice elected to the Langley city council and twice elected to the Washington State House of Representatives.
While in the Washington Legislature, Barlean worked on higher education fiscal and policy issues as the Republican Vice-Chair of the Appropriations Committee and a member of the Capital Budget Committee.
Barlean has been the city attorney for Sterling since 2003. He lived in Pueblo as a child and his maternal roots have been in Pueblo since his grandfather emigrated from Mexico. He is married and has three children with his spouse, Tara. Barlean also serves on the Victim Assistance and Law Enforcement Board for the 13th Judicial District and is a Life Member of the Disabled American Veterans.

Call for a "whole new type" of marine ecology
Vessels and platforms responding to the Deepwater Horizon spill in 2010.
Credit and Larger Version
April 20, 2012
On the second anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon blowout, a panel of researchers is offering a new model for understanding what happened in the disaster, how to think of such events in the future, and why existing tools were inadequate to fully predict what lay ahead.
The May issue of the journal BioScience published findings by the members of the University of California, Santa Barbara's, National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) Gulf Oil Spill Ecotox Working Group.
Many of the co-authors received rapid response grants and other funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to conduct research in the Gulf of Mexico after the spill.
"The paper offers important new thoughts on how we might respond to future environmental disasters of this magnitude," said David Garrison, a program director in NSF's Division of Ocean Sciences, which, along with NSF's Divisions of Environmental Biology (DEB), Earth Sciences and others funds Gulf oil spill research.
"This synthesis sheds new light on the nature of spills and the potential, generally unappreciated, of subsurface ecological effects," adds Henry Gholz, program director in DEB.
The old model assumed that oil would "simply float up to the surface and accumulate there and along the coastline," said article co-author Sean Anderson of California State University Channel Islands.
"That model works well for pipeline breaks and tanker ruptures, but it is inadequate for this novel type of deep blowout."
The 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico was unlike any other spill science and society had encountered.
The well blowout occurred at unprecedented depths and released enormous quantities of oil--an estimated 4.9 million barrels, or 206 million gallons.
Marine and wildlife habitats suffered major damage which, the co-authors say, continues to happen today, out of sight. Local economies and livelihoods suffered as well.
According to the paper's authors--ecotoxicologists, oceanographers and ecologists who convened under the auspices of NCEAS while the spill was active--the response to clean up and contain the oil followed a certain framework.
That framework assumed the oil's behavior would mimic the more familiar shallow water and surface spills, despite the fact that the dynamics, fate and effect of deep-water oil on ecosystems are not well understood.
"As the Deepwater Horizon spill unfolded, you would hear folks saying things like 'we all know what happens when oil and water mix; the oil floats,'" said Anderson.
"But that wasn't the whole story. And that oversimplification initially sent us down an incorrect path with assumptions and actions that were not the best possible use of our time and effort."
As they synthesized existing knowledge to anticipate the potential ecotoxicological effects of the spill and highlighted major gaps in scientific understanding, the scientists created the first complete conceptual model for understanding both the Deepwater Horizon spill and analogous disasters in the future.
The new model accounts for how deep-water oil spills unfold and where the resulting ecological effects accrue.
It also emphasizes that the vast majority of the oil is retained at depth--rapidly emulsified and dispersed due to the physics of the pressurized oil jetting from the tip of the wellbore--and, among other response actions, calls into question the efficacy of dispersants.
"We have generally hailed the use of [chemical] dispersants as helpful, but are basing this on the fact that we seemed to have kept oil from getting to the surface," said co-author Gary Cherr of the University of California, Davis, Bodega Marine Lab.
"The truth is that much of this oil probably was staying at depth independent of the amount of surfactants we dumped into the ocean."
"And we dumped a lot of dispersants into the ocean, all told approximately one-third the global supply."
Co-author Ron Tjeerdema, an environmental toxicologist at UC-Davis, concurs.
"The problem is that we must address the downside of such compounds, particularly in light of the fact that the upside probably was not as great as it seemed at the time," he said.
Armed with a new foundation for research and policy implications, the scientists are calling for further investigation on the long-term effects of deep-water oil spills like that of the Deepwater Horizon.
"We now have a sense that the bulk of the effects were probably in the mid-water and deep ocean," said the paper's lead author, Charles "Pete" Peterson of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
"We need an integrated collaboration among deep-water explorers, modelers, ecotoxicologists, microbial ecologists and others. All working together in unprecedented ways.
"We need a whole new type of marine ecology."

Ned Yost media session: September 16
When manager Ned Yost met with the media this morning he was first asked about one of the five players called up from Triple-A Omaha this morning, right handed pitcher Jake Odorizzi. The Storm Chasers were defeated last night in the PCL championship series, ending their successful season and allowing the Royals more freedom for calling players up. Yost said Odorizzi threw the ball well for Omaha this year and they wanted to see him at the big league level. He went on to say the reports on Jake have been consistently good all year and he will be with the big league club for the remainder of the season and they will try to get him a few starts during that time. He said he will look at him out of the bullpen as a possibility as well and he is going to be in the pen today and Tuesday. The Royals are looking at giving him a start against Cleveland next weekend.
The second player discussed with Yost was catcher Adam Moore who was also among those called up from Omaha this morning. The addition of Moore now gives the Royals four catchers and Yost was asked if he plans on getting all the catchers a shot in that position at some point. Yost said the Royals will try and give Moore one or two starts up here before the season is over. Yost said he is a guy they have not really seen yet since he came over from the Mariners organization in July and want to get a look, which is the reason he was part of this morning's call up.
The decision to start Jason Bourgeois in centerfield against right handed pitcher for the Angels Dan Haren was the final question directed to Yost this morning. He said the numbers have shown that right handed batters have had good success against Haren this season and they want to see Bourgeois in center today, therefore they are going with him out there.
