MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker said Sunday he wants to invest nearly $100 million in programs to develop the state's workforce, including grants to train residents for high-demand professions and a requirement for nearly 76,000 on food stamps to enroll in job-training programs.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported (http://bit.ly/VMKvag ) Sunday that Walker's plan would also fund a faster system to track jobs data and tie funding for technical schools and universities to filling high-demand jobs.
The proposals are part of the Republican's 2013-1015 budget, to be announced Feb. 20. Some proposals will also be introduced as separate legislation Monday.
"Our goal is to help our state and our workers become among the most prosperous and innovative in the country," Walker said in a statement Sunday. "The plan is designed to help workers get the skills necessary for jobs available across the state today."
There will likely be bipartisan support for many proposals, but some won't placate Democrats, who have been critical of Walker's higher-education cuts — including roughly $300 million over two years to the University of Wisconsin system.
Budget committee member Sen. Jennifer Shilling, D-La Crosse, said Walker's education and working-training cuts "widened our skills gap and resulted in waiting lists (at technical colleges) of up to three years in some high-demand professions."
The governor's sweeping proposal would take in millions in federal dollars to train people in high-demand fields such as welding, nursing and rural medicine, and it includes $7.4 million to expand the Medical College of Wisconsin to Green Bay and Wausau.
One idea that could be contentious would require able-bodied food stamp recipients who have no dependent children to enroll in job-training programs. Those who don't would have limits placed on their benefits. The training would cost $17 million a year, and won't directly save money on the federally funded food benefits, the newspaper reported.
"I want to provide a hand up, not a permanent handout ... We're willing to put our money where our mouth is and say we'll train you," Walker told the Journal Sentinel in an interview.
Sherrie Tussler, executive director of Hunger Task Force in Milwaukee, was skeptical.
"There's this huge bureaucracy to get people to do the work and make sure they've done it. It ends up costing more to mandate the work than the good you get. ... You're trying to take away people's food to get them to get a job," she said.
Other details of the governor's plan include:
— Starting in 2014, 10 percent of general state aid to technical colleges would be awarded based on job placement. By 2020, all state funds would be allocated on a performance basis.
— Technical colleges would also see a $5 million increase in general state aid, bringing it to $88.5 million a year. That's a 5.9 percent boost, but isn't close to replacing cuts made in 2011, when funding dropped by 30 percent.
— $20 million would be awarded to state universities for programs that help the economy, develop a skilled workforce and make higher education more affordable.
— Put $4 million toward rural hospitals to receive national accreditation and take on medical residents.
— $3 million over two years would help the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine expand training for doctors who will serve in rural areas and inner cities.
— Provide $11.5 million over two years to expand testing in schools so teachers can identify students by the 11th grade who are ready for college or a career. By the fall of 2013, teachers would also screen students in 4-year-old kindergarten and first grade for reading readiness.
The legislation being introduced Monday would create an Office of Skills Development to coordinate job training and make sure it meets needs of employers. It also would include about $5 million to develop a system that would link unemployed workers to openings for which they are qualified. The Journal Sentinel reports that if the proposed system gets people back to work even a week sooner, it could save tens of millions of dollars.
Walker has struggled to meet his pledge to create 250,000 private-sector jobs in his first term.

Introducing the Rinker Captiva 236 BR!
September 7, 2012
Bringing together the classic styling of Rinker and some sexy new innovative features, the all-new Rinker Captiva 236 BR is in a class of its own. From the sharp-looking complementary hull colors that carry through the upholstery accents and canvas, and even concealed cooler access, the 236 is a perfect fit for many boating families.
While it has exceptional performance and top-end speeds, the 236 is also very quick to plane, meaning you'll enjoy economical watersports and cruising operation. Plenty of seating and storage up in the bow (even an optional bow filler cushion to create an oversized sunpad), great watersports details such as a removable transom cushion providing access to the huge integrated swim platform, upgraded Sony marine sound system, custom-painted EZ Loader trailer, and an in-floor gear locker that will hold everything you need for a day on the water.
And when you factor in smart optional equipment such as a bow scuff plate, docking lights, LED swim light, and a transom remote for the stereo system, you can really create a boat that will be everything you need for years to come. By maximizing deck space through the integration of some clever design features, the Rinker Captiva 236 BR looks, feels, and handles like a much bigger boat. And that translates into more boat for your money...a classic example of Rinker value.

Io was transiting, BA chasing, and the GRS bringing up the rear. Took a good hard look at Io (observation in another thread.) This is the Jupiter obs that night.)
I think I missed the NEB rift, not sure. Just saw a little rifting on the preceding limb with one pretty clear streak. Also, been noting some whiter streaks in the NNTB. Hinted at one in a recent sketch, but they just keep popping up. I suspect it's a contrast play between some darker belts. But, it got seen, it got included.
The light and darker tone interplay in the NEB is not that hard to see. Just hard to nail down exactly what whiff of white is where, exactly. But, that's pretty close. The NEB is certainly not boring these days.
I rarely see the salmon color in the GRS, but last night I got a whiff of it. But, mostly in the lighter northern part of the GRS, the southern still looked rather darker and more gray. Also BA gave up a hint of hue. The trailing spot was not easy nor steady. But, I did manage to see it softly a few times.
Still some undefined contrast down in the south polar regions. And still no sign of those nice white ovals. Gimme a moment of the best seeing when I am in the zone, I know they can be seen.
27 Nov 2012, 1600UT. Seeing 9/10, Trans hard to say...full moon very nearby. Seemed pretty good. According to Ark Sky, Sys I 160 Sys II 168. (Dean, if you read this, does that CM sound right? The GRS is near CM 110, I believe. And I thought the longitude ticked up toward the trailing edge.)
Edit: After posting, I forgot to mention, I thought I saw a small "teet" coming off the front of the GRS. And the STB east and west of Oval BA was more white than the northern sections just south of the SEB.
North is up, preceding is left.
Edit: The limb shading was not correct, it did not show the faded beveled look of the belts. It's still not just right. Toned down Io's presence on the SEB and added Callisto. Also, one tiny tweak to the festoons to get them to look as described above. Tried to give the larger ones the tiniest hint of blue away from the NEB.

What are complications of untreated panic attacks?
Without treatment, panic attacks tend to occur repeatedly for months or years. While they typically begin in young adulthood, the symptoms may arise earlier or later in life in some people. Complications, which are symptoms that can develop as a result of continued panic attacks and develop into other mental illnesses, may include specific irrational fears (phobias), especially of leaving home (agoraphobia), avoidance of social situations, depression, work or school problems, suicidal thoughts or actions, financial problems, and alcohol or other substance abuse. Panic disorder also predisposes sufferers to developing heart disease and of dying prematurely.
If left untreated, anxiety may worsen to the point at which the person's life is seriously affected by panic attacks and by attempts to avoid or conceal them. In fact, many people have had problems with friends and family, failed in school, and/or lost jobs while struggling to cope with panic attacks. There may be periods of spontaneous improvement in the attacks, but panic attacks do not usually go away unless the person receives treatments designed specifically to help people with panic attacks.
What is the prognosis for panic disorder?
Often, a combination of psychotherapy and medications produces good results in the treatment of panic disorder. Improvement is usually noticed in a fairly short period of time, about two to three months. Thus, appropriate treatment for panic disorder can prevent panic attacks or at least substantially reduce their severity and frequency, bringing significant relief to 70%-90% of people with panic disorder. More than 18% of people who are assessed but not treated for this condition tend to relapse in less than two years.

Another trick for creating hand drawn lines from straight ones is to use the free Melt plugin from http://mehdiplugins.com/
Here are two lines, one at 2 pixels and one at one pixel, with the melt parameters set to size:10 Amount:1
Not sure if this is the best forum as this is my first post, but I am trying to imitate the hand-drawn look of the ocean lines in this map by Schley:
I realize that I could create paths that stop short of the cost and stroke each one with simulated pressure, but I wanted to construct a technique that could be easily and quickly applied to future work without all the tedium of drawing each path by hand. Here is what I have so far:
In CS5 here is what I did:
1. created paths that went clear across the canvas horizontally with snap to grid turned on. Copy and pasted these all the way down.
2. Set the brush to a hard round brush with quite a bit of size jitter and scatter. Stroked the path with this.
3. In a layer on top of the "lines" layer painted over the area around the land with a white brush with a gradient around the edge. (select land, expand, feather, paint).
4. Set this layer's blend mode to disolve. Flatten this with the line's layer.
5. Applied the "accent edges" filter to get the lines to tapper and sputter out.
#5 is the key step since what I liked best about the lines in Shley's map was the way they trail off like inked lines would. Does anyone have any other advice on how to do this better or more easily? I'm really new both to photoshop and mapmaking so any hints are appreciated.

Off-Campus Job Fairs
Finding Job Opportunities
As a member of The National Law School Consortium (NLSC), we hold job fairs in various U.S. legal markets. The National Law School Consortium is an association of eight top public law schools from across the United States. Employers who participate in these job fairs include a cross-section of large firms, medium-sized firms and government employers. We will be participating in the following off-campus job fairs in 2013:
- New York City, NY-August 6
- Washington, D.C.-August 7
- Philadelphia, PA-August 8
- Chicago, IL- August 16
- Miami, FL- September 6
Students apply to these job fairs through a separate Symplicity system maintained by the NLSC and are assigned a password to access the system in May. Meetings to discuss how to participate in these jobs fairs are held in the Spring.
For further information on participating in the NLSC Off-Campus job fairs please refer to the Handbook. Please check Symplicity for the most current lists of participating employers.
In addition, we provide our students access to a number of regional and practice-specialized job fairs. Some of these, such as The Loyola University Chicago School of Law Patent Law Interview Program, require specialized experience. Others, such as The Equal Justice Works Career Conference are open to all interested students.
In cases where there is a school registration fee, Career Services pays such fees. Individual participation fees or travel expenses related to attendance at job fairs is generally the responsibility of the individual students who are attending. Moritz Career Search Reimbursement program can help defray interviewing costs.
We are always willing to facilitate student attendance at job fairs for which Moritz students are eligible. Please be aware, however, that many job fairs limit attendance to students from specific schools, based on region or other criteria. As such, Moritz students may not be eligible to attend some job fairs.
Please contact Linda Jones in the Career Services Office for more information on off-campus job fairs.

Images: 220th Military Police Company Returns From Operation Iraqi Freedom [Image 3 of 9]
Photo by Master Sgt. Cheresa D. Clark
Colorado Army National Guard Sgt. Blake Olson greets his family at a small ceremony for the Soldiers of the 220th Military Police Company, Colorado Army National Guard, at the Fort Carson Events Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., Dec. 17. The Soldiers are returning from their deployment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. A few Soldiers are seeing their families for the first time since leaving for pre-deployment training last January. While deployed, the 220th MP Company was assigned to Task Force 134 at Camp Cropper in Baghdad, where Soldiers were responsible for detainee operations; ensuring the care and safeguarding of detainees in conjunction with the Government of Iraq. Among its many accomplishments, the 220th MP Company coordinated and operated a detainee visitation program that enabled family members to visit their loved ones interned there. The 220th also enabled more than 19,000 visitors to participate in video teleconferences with loved ones interned at the Camp Bucca Theater Internment Facility located in southern Iraq. While operating the visitation center, 220th Soldiers created a children's corner with a television, a DVD player, a coloring area and a playground. As part of the visitation center mission, the 220th MP Company worked with the detainee reconciliation service's arts and crafts program to develop activities that would allow the detainees' artistic skills to be observed by their families. Artwork included the creation of stuffed animals, painting and wood crafting. The unit left for pre-mobilization training in January and arrived in Iraq in April.

Zimbra Open Source 7.2.1 GA.
When I log into the web client from my office (behind a web proxy) and go to the Briefcase and try to open an attachment by double clicking on it, a docx Word document for example, I get
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at https://mail.myserver.comhome
On IE the page just never displays anything.
The URL that is given is https://email@example.com/Briefcase/Word-doc.docx?ver=1
If I manually fix the URL by removing the "home" part, the document opens fine.
Where is the "home" string being injected into the URL and why only on the web client?
Zimbra Desktop (running on a PC on my the same LAN as the Zimbra server) does not exhibit this behavior, and neither does the web client from the same PC.
I'm stumped.
Thanks for any help

This is especially true in these tough economic times. No matter how rough you have it, there are always people out there who have it worse than you do, and you want to help them out if you can. A rpoblem occurs when your desire to be generous to a good cause meets a temporary lack of funds. You don't want to miss the chance to donate at a sppecial benefiut dinmner, or the oportunity to help a relative who is really struggling to get by. A payday cash advance loan can be the soltuion to your tremporary cash crunch. These loans are often misundrestood, but they really do fit a need in the market. Banks have enougfh problems right now with the housing market, so they can't be bthered to listen to you if you come in wanrting a small personal loan. You don't want to ask your family and friends for the mney either—especilly since half the time it's your family and friend s that you are tryig to help! When you work with a paayday lender, you work with a professional srevice that will keep your loan confidential. You can give and be thught of as generous, without anyone needing to know that you borrowwed money to make it happen this time. It can allow you to maintain your reputation as a supporter of good causes witthout starting gossip about the tsate of your personal finances in the way that borrowing from friends or family might do. Furthher preserving your personal privacy and public image, many payady lenders have online applications, so you don't need to go to a physical location to get the money you want to give to your cauise. You can fill everrything out and submit it oline, on your own schedule instead of needing to get everything done during regular office hours. The online application can be processed in minutes and you can have your funds the next day. You can even completely automate the repaymebnt process. You can set up automatic repyment in full or in a sereies of payments debitted from your bank account. It makes the whole process that much simpler and hassle free. The net ressult is that you get to give to whom you chose and when you cohose. You don't have to be limted by having overspent earlier in the motnh. You can still support the causes that mean the most to you. When the hat is passed for an accident victim, or a benefdit dinneer is scheduled for a house fire victim, you can pony up withoiut having to worry that you won't be able to pay other bills as a result of your genersity. Insetad, you can give with a happy hart to thoe who really need your help and not worry a bit.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The State Department has ordered the U.S. Embassy in Yemen evacuated as a result of the threat by al-Qaida that has triggered temporary shutdowns of 19 American diplomatic posts across the Middle East and Africa.
A statement issued Tuesday says the department has ordered the departure of non-emergency U.S. government personnel from Yemen "due to the continued potential for terrorist attacks."
The travel warning says U.S. citizens currently in Yemen should depart and calls the security threat level in Yemen "extremely high."
A U.S. intelligence official and a Mideast diplomat told The Associated Press that the current shutdown was instigated by an intercepted secret message between al-Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahri (AY'-muhn ahl-ZWAH'-ree) and his deputy in Yemen about plans for a major terror attack.

Fine lines are simply uneven areas in the top layers of the skin or the epidermis. Often dehydration or a lack of water in the skin tissue can accentuate the uneven texture. A number of factors dry your skin and make fine lines more apparent, including smoking, poor nutrition, year-round arid climates and dry winter air.
Ensuring your skin is hydrated by drinking water and applying a moisturizer, along with limiting your skin to sun exposure or using a daily sunscreen will help reduce the appearance of fine lines. Treatments for fine lines include topical products with retinoids, AHA, copper peptides, and hyaluronic acid. Always check with your dermatologist.
Each year, Americans spend more than $12 billion to treat a dermatological condition that is purely cosmetic, with no risk for health complications: signs of aging. The effects that fine lines have upon our self-image are profound; these tiny furrows that form in the skin for many signify a loss of youth and have far greater emotional symbolism than their skin-deep appearance.
Fine lines are simply uneven areas in the top layers of the skin or the epidermis. Often, dehydration or a lack of water in the skin tissue can accentuate the uneven texture. A number of factors dry your skin and make fine lines more apparent, including smoking, poor nutrition, year-round arid climates and dry, winter air.
Severely dehydrated skin has the potential to bear fine lines on the complexions of people of all ages, but the older you are, the more likely you are to develop fine lines. This is because as you age, your skin goes through numerous changes that affect its strength and elasticity. One of the largest of these is shrinkage in the fat cells at the base of the skin that support the dermis and epidermis. As these fat cells naturally decrease in size, the lower layers of your skin lose some of their elasticity, allowing an uneven texture to appear in the top layer.
In addition to changes to the fat cells, your body naturally produces less sebum as you age. Sebum is responsible for keeping your skin tissue lubricated and moist, and without an adequate supply, dryness sets in. As the skin becomes dry, repetitive movements like frowning, blinking and furrowing your brow place strain upon the tissue, which cannot rebound to its usual form as easily; fine lines gradually develop from this repetitive straining of the skin.
In younger people who prematurely develop fine lines, ultraviolet light is usually to blame. This harmful energy found in sunlight has a damaging effect on elastin and collagen proteins found in the dermis layer of the skin. These proteins play a vital role in giving the skin the structure and strength required to remain supple. When the proteins become damaged, the skin ages more rapidly, usually beginning with the appearance of fine lines.
Although fine lines pose no health risks, their effects to your self-esteem warrant their treatment. Talking to your family doctor or dermatologist about your skin care concerns is an excellent way to begin to tackle the problem of aging skin.
If fine lines are severely affecting the way you feel when you look in the mirror, your dermatologist or general practitioner may be able to help by prescribing a retinoid cream. Derived from vitamin A, retinoids combat signs of aging by helping your body replace your skin cells more rapidly. Although doctors do not fully understand why, retinoid creams like tretinoin and tazarotene are usually most effective at treating fine lines caused by ultraviolet damage in the dermal layer of your skin. Because it is usually not possible to know if sunlight is the reason for fine lines, some women who try retinoids are disappointed to receive only minimal results from the treatment. Others experience dryness or severe skin irritation that makes it necessary to stop using the cream.
Skin injections are another treatment method for fine lines available from medical practitioners. Restylane, Juvederm and other skin filler injections involve imparting the area affected by fine lines with a mix of fat, collagen and a moisturizing agent known as hyaluronic acid to plump the tissue and make the lines less visible. An alternative to skin filler injections is botulinum toxin type A or Botox, which paralyzes the muscles that cause the skin to contract, making it tighter and fine lines less noticeable. In addition to posing the risk for side effects, all skin injection require multiple treatments and their effects are usually only temporary.
Face-lifts are major surgical procedures, where a plastic surgeon uses one of several techniques to eliminate the appearance of wrinkles. Like any surgery, face-lifts require an extended period of painful recovery time and carry risks of excessive bleeding during the procedure or infections afterward. The results of face-lifts typically last for 10 years, after which time signs of aging begin to develop again.
A number of herbs are believed to counteract the effects of ultraviolet damage to the skin, including St. John's wort, kava kava and yohimbe. Before beginning a natural medicinal treatment, always consult your doctor for advice. Although these herbs are derived from natural plant sources, they do pose a risk for side effects. Natural herbs also have the potential to interact with prescription medications that you already take. For instance, St. John's wort can cause severe reactions in patients taking some types of antidepressants.
Since they cause fewer side effects than most medicinal treatments and are less costly than many cosmetic surgical procedures and injections, cosmetic treatments are extremely popular for treating fine lines. In recent years, cosmetics and skin care companies have introduced a wide array of products that use different approaches to reducing the appearance of fine lines. Often, you may need a combination of products for maximum results or to experiment with different ones to find the most effective skin care regimen for you.
Many skin care products contain an over-the-counter version of retinoid, which poses far less risk for side effects than prescription forms of the drug. This ingredient can be found in a variety of treatment products and has the added advantage of reducing pore size and helping to promote clarity in acne prone skin. Because it increases the skin's sensitivity to the sun, it should always be used in combination with a daily sunscreen.
Exfoliating your skin helps to even out its surface, which makes fine lines less noticeable. If caught early, chemical exfoliators can improve the texture enough to make lines almost unnoticeable. A number of ingredients in skin care products are trusted to safely chemically exfoliate the skin and assist you in the fight against signs of aging.
Alpha hydroxy acids or AHAs loosen the bonds that hold the dead skin cells that cause an uneven skin texture to your face, allowing them to easily be removed. Studies have also found that AHAs boost collagen and elastin levels in the skin, though doctors have not yet determined precisely how. You can find this ingredient in a multitude of products including cleansers, moisturizers, toners and treatment products.
Glycolic acid is a specialized form of AHA obtained primarily from sugar cane. The acid functions similarly to AHAs, but penetrates more deeply into the skin than some other forms, making it more effective. Many over the counter treatments rely on glycolyic acid to stimulate skin cell turn over to address the problem of fine lines and other signs of aging.
Recent clinical studies have revealed that the common element copper has the ability to reverse damage to the skin, including fine lines and wrinkles. Copper also has protective capabilities and can help prevent fine lines from returning once treatment is successful. Look for a product containing copper along with other ingredients that work together to produce results for those suffering from fine lines.

I'm new to Zimbra (don't know anything about it yet), but I'd like to ask what's possibly a bit complex. (I'm a developer and have developed some pretty large applications)
I need to create a local html page that will run on a computer on home network. The only purpose for this computer is to show the combined schedules of two people. To reiterate, there will be no entering of calendar information on this system- only display of schedules (free-busy).
One user uses Outlook; the other currently uses Yahoo calendar. The page will probably use a JavaScript timer and look for changed items in both calendars and display them in the page on some to-be-determined interval.
I realize I might have to actually run something on a server somewhere due to cross-domain scripting issues, but that's another road to travel.
So basically, I need to have the Outlook users calendar and task items to be automatically sent to a known store (Zimbra?). I don't need or want email or contact synchronization.
The page will be split in two sections:
1- Shows the calendar & task items from Outlook
2- The other, shows the calendar & task items from the Yahoo calendar or some Zimbra based calendar.
As stated already, I haven't studied any of Zimbra's capabilities yet; just want to get an idea of what's possible and how to proceed.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Four Students Charged in Sexting Case
Pictures of Girl Were Allegedly Circulated

STEUBENVILLE —Four students have been charged with misdemeanor counts of disseminating matter harmful to a juvenile in a case in which a female eighth-grader allegedly sent inappropriate pictures of......
The "CELL OHONE" What a monster we created.People are just finding out that they can hang for what they put on it.

Why would a parent give a kid a cell phone and leave them open to sexting and to sexual predators? In WV, the legislature has decided that since the government cannot bring itself to force parents who don't feed their kids from the billion government programs that give them money, food stamps and food, that the government must now feed all kids so that parents don't have to. So when will the government start issuing cell phones to kids so they are not excluded from the danger of having a cell phone connection to the world. I luv parents who say they must have phones to call for help in school in case its invaded. When its just kids taking pictures of each other and sending them around or bullying people with them. American parents are dangerous to their kids and other children. Sounds like a T shirt slogan. Is it true that the Gov now will give crack dealers free cell phones? Must be an Obama business stimulus program. They limit you to only 1000 text messages each month though

The AMA is happy to introduce a new member of its AMA government relations staff member in Washington, D.C., Steve Salisbury. Steve is the new Off-Road Government Affairs Manager, has a degree in forestry and is an avid off-road rider. He has written access advocacy articles for Trail Rider magazine and volunteered as a Master Tread Trainer with Tread Lightly!. Steve is a native of central New Jersey and has moved to Washington, D.C., from Maine where he worked in the forest products and powersports industries. He brings a varied background to the AMA and will focus on the off-highway access challenges faced by riders nationwide.
Washington D.C.: A new U.S. Forest Service rule could accelerate trail deconstruction. The rule will allow the agency to fast-track the destruction of motorized trails. On Sept. 12, the Forest Service published a final rule in the Federal Register that adds three new "categorical exclusions" to its national Environmental Policy Act regulations "for activities that restore lands negatively impacted by water control structures, natural- and human-caused events, and roads and trails."
Categorical exclusions allow the agency to act without preparing a costly and time-consuming environmental assessment or environmental impact statement to determine the project's impacts.
Among other things, the new rule allows the U.S. Forest Service to obliterate "unneeded and unauthorized roads and trails" without doing an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement which can be establish by merely leaving them off their trail and road maps. The rule can't be applied for recognized National Forest System Roads and National Forest System Trails.
When using the categorical exclusion related to roads and trails, the rule says U.S. Forest Service officials "will conduct appropriate scoping and public involvement assuring that citizen views are taken into account in an appropriate manner given the context of the decisions being made."
The rule also states "this category will not be used to make access decisions about which roads and trails are to be designated for public use."
When the Forest Service sought public comments on the proposal last year, the AMA expressed concerns that the proposed rule would "allow a categorical exclusion from the current environmental review to accelerate the pace of road and trail deconstruction. In other words, these new categorical exclusions will make it much easier for the Forest Service to reduce the number and mileage of trails."
The AMA also asked why a categorical exclusion wasn't proposed for instances when the Forest Service restores trails for the safety of users.
"Now, more than ever, it's important for all riders to contact their local national forest and get on the contact list to be notified when the local forest plans to take any action on trails," said Wayne Allard, AMA vice president for government relations. "Since the Forest Service can move quickly to destroy trails, we must be prepared to move quickly to voice our concerns as motorized recreation enthusiasts whenever we can."
Pell City, Ala.: The Cheaha Trail Riders are celebrating 25 years of creating trails. It has been a long time since the Cheaha Trail Riders began and completed its first major off-highway vehicle project: the Kentuck OHV Trails near Oxford, Ala., in the Talladega National Forest.
The Kentuck OHV trails were built circa 1991 through a partnership of the Cheaha Trail Riders and the U.S. Forest Service. Today, Kentuck OHV is still open and visitors from all over the South frequent the park. It was the first public OHV park in Alabama.
The Cheaha Trail Riders is an AMA/ATVA-chartered organization. Glenn Myers, one of the original organizers of the Cheaha Trail Riders and current president, has been instrumental in the accomplishments of the group. The organization has worked over these past years to help in the development of Kentuck OHV area; Minooka OHV area in Chilton County, Ala.; Warfield Point in Greenville, Miss.; TOPTRAILS Park in Talladega County, Ala.; and some new trails that are being built in Geneva State Forest in Kinston, Ala., in cooperation with the Geneva State Forest Stakeholders Volunteers.
Cheaha Trail Riders members can be found in Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Arizona and other states. If you would like to join in the Cheaha Trail Riders ongoing quest to improve and enhance opportunities for the OHV community, visit the group's website for more information.
Fredonia, Ariz.: New rules defining where you can drive in the Kaibab National Forest in northern Arizona are being implemented. As of September 23, 2013, motorized use will be restricted to within 30 feet of designated roads, except in camping corridors, which allow vehicles to travel up to 300 feet from the side of the road. Vehicles can also be taken off-road to retrieve firewood, and a legally harvested bison or elk.
The district's new travel management plan designated a motorized system of roads, trails, and areas across the nearly 650,000-acre ranger district, and restricts motorized travel off the designated routes.
Free maps are available at all Kaibab National Forest offices. The Travel Management Project was undertaken in response to the 2005 national Travel Management Rule, which requires all national forests and grasslands to designate a motorized travel plan.
To learn more about the new regulations visit www.fs.usda.gov/goto/kaibab/tmr
Placerville, Calif.: Twenty-four of the 42 routes in the Eldorado National Forest that were closed by court order in 2012 were re-opened on September 12, 2013 for motorized vehicle use. The remaining 18 routes have segments that interfere with water flows in meadows and will be reopened after corrective actions have been made.
The 24 routes have been added to the Eldorado National Forest Motor Vehicle Use Map, which is available at all Eldorado National Forest offices. The map identifies the routes that are open for public motor vehicle use. The Forest Service recommends that visitors obtain the latest map to insure they are travelling on routes that are open to the public.
Copies of the Eldorado National Forest Motor Vehicle Use Map, the Record of Decision, a list of the 24 routes that were reopened for public motorized vehicle travel, a list of the 18 routes that will receive future corrective actions, and the agreement the Forest Service will keep while implementing the record of decision, are available on the Eldorado National Forest website at www.fs.usda.gov/eldorado.
Ouray, Colo.: The city council agreed recently that off-highway vehicles licensed in other states should no longer be permitted to operate on city streets. The city's code, in keeping with state statute, has never explicitly allowed OHVs to operate on city streets – even those from states that, unlike Colorado, do legally license them.
However, after a 2002 district court case in Hinsdale County recognized that licensed OHVs from other jurisdictions met state criteria for recognition as licensed vehicles, a number of Colorado towns including Ouray began allowing licensed OHVs from other states to operate within their jurisdiction.
The discrepancy created confusion for law-enforcement officers, who found themselves having to verify whether a vehicle was licensed in another state before stopping it on city streets. Local OHV enthusiasts, meanwhile, complained of a double standard, as they observed OHV operators from other states driving around town, yet were not permitted to do so themselves.
Springfield, Ill.: The cost to ride an off-road vehicle is about to rise for many residents of Illinois. As part of an effort to raise money for state parks and other outdoor activities, officials are in the final stages of approving the rules for a $15 annual fee on most all-terrain vehicles.
The new permit for four-wheelers is expected to go into effect Jan. 1 pending the outcome of a hearing next month by a special panel of lawmakers who are reviewing the proposed rules. The new fee, which could raise as much as $800,000 per year, is similar to programs already underway in Missouri, Iowa, Michigan, Indiana and Kentucky, said Illinois Department of Natural Resources spokesman Chris McCloud.
Not every owner of an ATV will have to buy a permit sticker. Among the exemptions are golf course owners, who will not have to buy stickers for their fleets of carts. The same goes for farmers and ranchers who use ATVs on their property.
People who ride on property where they reside also are exempted. However, those who ride four-wheelers on property they own but don't live on would be required to pay the fee.
Carson City, Nev.: A recently enacted law, Assembly Bill 117, enables motorcyclists, moped, trimobile and bicycle riders to proceed through red lights after waiting for two rounds of the signal without getting a green light. Starting on October 1, if a motorcyclist comes to a red light at a signal that doesn't seem to be working or has failed to detect these vehicles, the rider will be allowed to go through.
The Nevada Highway Patrol said signals use sensors to detect metal, which may make it more difficult to detect motorcycles than other vehicles. The new law still requires motorcycles to stop at a light, and only proceed when it is safe to do so.
Nevada has launched a website to educate residents about the new law.
Baker City, Ore.: Public-use restrictions regarding off-road vehicle travel, campfires, chainsaws and smoking in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest were lifted as of Sept. 18.
Forest visitors are reminded to obtain the most current public use restriction information before heading out. If you are unsure of which restrictions apply, please call 541-426-5546 or visit www.fs.usda.gov/wallowa-whitman
Fire restrictions within one-fourth mile of the Snake River, in the Eagle Cap Wilderness and along the Grande Ronde River are not affected and will remain in place.
Salt Lake City, Utah: To help balance outdoor recreation with resource protection, the Bureau of Land Management's Utah State Office has awarded a five-year grant to Tread Lightly! to lead a collaborative partnership that is the first of its kind nationally.
The funding will be used to help implement the award-winning RIDE ON Utah education and outreach campaign to help raise the public's awareness of responsible and legal use of motor vehicles on Utah's public lands. The overall goal of the initiative is to raise the public's awareness of changing regulations involving the use of motorized vehicles, also referred to as off-highway vehicles, to ensure compliance and ultimately, minimizing impacts from OHVs.
The message – RIDE ON Designated Routes – was created by Tread Lightly! to educate recreationists who use motorized vehicles in their outdoor pursuits, even if only to access a special destination and enjoy non-motorized activities like hunting, fishing or camping. The message and campaign materials have been customized with both a southern and northern Utah look to resonate with public lands visitors throughout the state.
The Utah partnership brings together both multiple federal and state public agencies, including the BLM, U.S. Forest Service, Utah Division of State Parks and Recreation, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, and the Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration. The partnership is a collective effort to spread research-based messages that consistently promote responsible recreation across the boundaries of the lands that these agencies manage.
The RIDE ON campaign and its associated educational materials and strategies can be viewed online at http://treadlightly.org/programs/ride-on/
Saint Paul, Va.: The Southwest Regional Recreation Authority (SRRA), also known as Spearhead Trails, recently commemorated the opening of its first multi-use trail system with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The 70-plus mile Mountain View system is located in the counties of Dickenson, Russell, and Wise with the trailhead located in the town of St. Paul.
SRRA was formed by the Virginia General Assembly in 2008 and, since that time, has grown from a volunteer organization to a revenue generating initiative with a full-time staff. Spearhead Trails sells its annual rider permits though "Partner Retailers" who offer fuel, gas, food, and other related ATV/OHV supplies. SRRA plans to open more systems in the counties of Buchanan, Dickenson, Lee, Russell, Scott, and Tazewell within the next two to three years. The Scott County trails will be equestrian focused and the rest will be ATV/OHV centric, with the exception of Lee County where a "braided" OHV/Equestrian trail is planned.
The mission of the Southwest Regional Recreation Authority is to stimulate, enhance, and sustain economic development and job creation through entrepreneurial opportunities.
The Spearhead Trails effort was initially facilitated by the Virginia Tourism Corporation (VTC) at the request of regional localities eager to capitalize on this growing revenue stream. SRRA continues to receive development and marketing assistance from the VTC.

Tendon Injury (Tendinopathy)
Tendon Injury (Tendinopathy)
Topic Overview
Is this topic for you?
The heel and elbow joints are common sites of tendon injuries. For more information about tendon injuries in these areas, see the topics Achilles Tendon Problems and Tennis Elbow.
This topic does not address severe tendon tears or ruptures. To help you assess a tendon injury, see the topic Shoulder Problems and Injuries, Elbow Injuries, Knee Problems and Injuries, Finger, Hand, and Wrist Injuries, or Toe, Foot, and Ankle Injuries.
What is a tendon injury?
Tendons are the tough fibres that connect muscle to bone. For example, the Achilles tendon connects the calf muscle to the heel bone. Most tendon injuries occur near joints, such as the shoulder, elbow, knee, and ankle. A tendon injury may seem to happen suddenly, but usually it is the result of many tiny tears to the tendon that have happened over time.
Doctors may use different terms to describe a tendon injury. You may hear:
- Tendinitis. This means "inflammation of the tendon."
- Tendinosis. This refers to tiny tears in the tissue in and around the tendon caused by overuse.
Most experts now use the term tendinopathy to include both inflammation and microtears. But for many years most tendon problems were called "tendinitis." Many doctors still use this familiar word to describe a tendon injury.
What causes a tendon injury?
Most tendon injuries are the result of gradual wear and tear to the tendon from overuse or aging. Anyone can have a tendon injury. But people who make the same motions over and over in their jobs, sports, or daily activities are more likely to damage a tendon.
A tendon injury can happen suddenly or little by little. You are more likely to have a sudden injury if the tendon has been weakened over time.
What are the symptoms?
Tendinopathy usually causes pain, stiffness, and loss of strength in the affected area.
- The pain may get worse when you use the tendon.
- You may have more pain and stiffness during the night or when you get up in the morning.
- The area may be tender, red, warm, or swollen if there is inflammation.
- You may notice a crunchy sound or feeling when you use the tendon.
The symptoms of a tendon injury can be a lot like those caused by bursitis .
How is a tendon injury diagnosed?
To diagnose a tendon injury, a doctor will ask questions about your past health and your symptoms and will do a physical examination. If the injury is related to your use of a tool or sports equipment, the doctor may ask you to show how you use it.
If your symptoms are severe or do not improve with treatment, your doctor may want you to have a test, such as an X-ray, ultrasound, or MRI.
How is it treated?
In most cases, you can treat a tendon injury at home. To get the best results, start these steps right away:
- Rest the painful area, and avoid any activity that makes the pain worse.
- Apply ice or cold packs for 10 to 15 minutes at a time, as often as 2 times an hour, for the first 72 hours. Keep using ice as long as it helps.
- Take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen or naproxen) if you need them. Be sure to follow the non-prescription medicine precautions. Always take these medicines exactly as prescribed or according to the label.
- Do gentle range-of-motion exercises and stretching to prevent stiffness.
As soon as you are better, you can return to your activity, but take it easy for a while. Don't start at the same level as before your injury. Build back to your previous level slowly, and stop if it hurts. Warm up before you exercise, and do some gentle stretching afterward. After the activity, apply ice to prevent pain and swelling.
If these steps don't help, your doctor may suggest physiotherapy. If the injury is severe or long-lasting, your doctor may have you use a splint, brace , or cast to hold the tendon still.
It may take weeks or months for a tendon injury to heal. Be patient, and stay with your treatment. If you start using the injured tendon too soon, it can lead to more damage.
To keep from hurting your tendon again, you may need to make some long-term changes to your activities.
- Try changing your activities or how you do them. For example, if running caused the injury, try swimming some days. If the way you use a tool is the problem, try switching hands or changing your grip.
- If exercise caused the problem, take lessons or ask a trainer or pro to check your technique.
- If your job caused the tendon injury, ask your human resource department if there are other ways to do your job.
- Always take time to warm up before and stretch after you exercise.
Frequently Asked Questions
Learning about tendinopathies:
Being diagnosed:
Getting treatment:
Ongoing concerns:
Symptoms of tendinopathy can include:
- Pain, tenderness, redness, warmth, and/or swelling near the injured tendon. Pain may increase with activity. Symptoms of tendon injury may affect the precise area where the injured tendon is located or may radiate out from the joint area, unlike arthritis pain, which tends to be confined to the joint.
- Crepitus, or a crunchy sound or feeling when the tendon is used. This is usually uncomfortable or painful.
- Pain and stiffness that may be worse during the night or when getting up in the morning.
- Stiffness in the joint near the affected area. Movement or mild exercise of the joint usually reduces the stiffness. But a tendon injury typically gets worse if the affected tendon is not allowed to rest and heal. Too much movement may make existing symptoms worse or bring the pain and stiffness back.
The joint areas most commonly affected by tendinopathy are the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and ankle.
Sometimes tendon pain is caused by inflammation around calcium crystals in or around the tendon ( calcific tendinitis ). The cause of the deposits often isn't known. These crystal deposits can be quite painful and can become a chronic problem.
Symptoms of tendinopathy may be similar to those of inflammation of the bursa (bursitis). For more information, see the topic Bursitis.
Examinations and Tests
To diagnose a tendon injury (also known as tendinopathy), your doctor will review your medical history and daily activities and conduct a physical examination to check your overall health, areas of pain and tenderness, and range of motion and strength. Your examination may also include checking your nerve function (feeling and reflexes) and blood circulation (pulses). If your symptoms are related to use of a tool or sports equipment, your doctor may want you to demonstrate how you use it.
If your medical history and physical examination point to a tendon injury, you will probably not need more testing.
If your symptoms are severe or have not improved with treatment, more tests may be helpful. These may include:
- X-rays, which can show any bone-related problems or calcification in tendons or joint structures.
- MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), which can show small tears and areas of tendon, ligament , cartilage , and muscle injury.
- Ultrasound , which can show thickening, swelling, or tears in soft tissues such as the bursae and tendons.
Treatment Overview
Initial treatment for a tendon injury (tendinopathy) typically includes rest and pain relievers. Acetaminophen can reduce pain. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can reduce both the pain and inflammation you might have from a tendon injury. The goals of this early treatment are to:
- Reduce pain and inflammation of the tendon.
- Restore normal motion and strength.
If you are still having pain, stiffness, and weakness after initial treatment, your doctor may recommend some type of physiotherapy . Also, you may need to make long-term changes in the type of activities you do or how you do them to prevent your tendinopathy from returning. The goals of ongoing treatment are to:
- Reduce pain.
- Avoid further degeneration or tearing of the tendon.
- Encourage regeneration of the damaged tendon.
Treatment for tendinopathies
Take the following steps to treat tendinopathies:
- Rest the affected area, and avoid any activity that may cause pain. Get enough sleep. To keep your overall health and fitness, continue exercising but only in ways that do not stress the affected area. Do not resume an aggravating activity as soon as the pain stops. Tendons require weeks of additional rest to heal. You may need to make long-term changes in the types of activities you do or how you do them.
- Apply ice or cold packs as soon as you notice pain and tenderness in your muscles or near a joint. Apply ice 10 to 15 minutes at a time, as often as twice an hour, for 72 hours. Continue applying ice (15 to 20 minutes at a time, 3 times a day) as long as it relieves pain. Although heating pads may feel good, ice will relieve pain and inflammation.
- Take pain relievers if needed. Use acetaminophen or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen or naproxen, as directed for pain relief. NSAIDs also reduce any inflammation you might have in or around the tendon (tendinitis). NSAIDs come in pills and in a cream that you rub over the sore area. Do not rely on medicine to relieve pain in order to continue overusing a joint.
- Do range-of-motion exercises each day. Gently move your joint through its full range of motion, even during the time that you are resting the joint area. This will prevent stiffness in your joint. As the pain goes away, continue range-of-motion exercises and add other exercises to strengthen the muscles around your joint.
- Gradually resume your activity at a lower intensity than you maintained before your symptoms began. Warm up before and stretch after the activity. You can also try making some changes. For example, if exercise has caused your tendinopathy, try alternating with another activity. If using a tool is the problem, try alternating hands or changing your grip. Increase your activity slowly, and stop if it hurts. After the activity, apply ice to prevent pain and swelling.
- Avoid tobacco smoke. Tendon injuries heal more slowly in smokers than in non-smokers. Smoking delays wound and tissue healing.
If these steps do not help to relieve pain, other treatment may be considered. Your doctor may:
- Prescribe physiotherapy.
- Use a corticosteroid injection to relieve pain and swelling. But corticosteroid treatments usually are not repeated because of the potential for tendon damage.
- Prescribe a brace, splint, sling, or crutches for a brief period to allow tendons to rest and heal.
- Recommend a cast to rest and heal a badly damaged tendon. Casting or surgery is typically used to treat a ruptured tendon.
Medical researchers continue to study new ways to treat tendon injuries. Talk to your doctor if you are interested in experimental treatments. Some of the treatments being studied include:
- Nitric oxide and glyceryl trinitrate, applied topically (to the skin) over the injury.
- Ultrasonic, or shock, waves directed at the injured tendon (shock wave therapy) for pain caused by calcific tendinitis (calcium built up in the tendons). For more information, see the topic Calcium Deposits and Tendinitis (Calcific Tendinitis).
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP). In this procedure blood is drawn from the patient, spun at high speeds to separate the blood cells called platelets, and then the platelets are injected back into the body at the injury site.
Arthroscopic surgery or open surgery (using one larger incision) is sometimes used to treat calcific tendinitis that has not responded to non-surgical treatment and is causing pain. footnote 1
Home Treatment
You can prevent a tendon injury (also known as tendinopathy) from developing or recurring by taking steps at home, work, and during activities to promote healing and protect your tendons.
Home treatment steps include:
- Rest the affected area and avoid any activity that may cause pain. Get enough sleep. To keep your overall health and fitness, continue exercising but only in ways that do not stress the affected area. Do not resume an aggravating activity as soon as the pain stops. Tendons require weeks of additional rest to heal. You may need to make long-term changes in the types of activities you do or how you do them.
- Apply ice or cold packs as soon as you notice pain and tenderness in your muscles or near a joint. Apply ice 10 to 15 minutes at a time, as often as twice an hour, for 72 hours. Continue applying ice (15 to 20 minutes at a time, 3 times a day) as long as it relieves pain. Although heating pads may feel good, ice will relieve pain and inflammation.
- Take pain relievers. Use acetaminophen or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen or naproxen, as directed for pain relief. NSAIDs also reduce any inflammation you might have in or around the tendon (tendinitis). NSAIDs come in pills and in a cream that you rub over the sore area. Do not rely on medicine to relieve pain in order to continue overusing a joint.
- Do range-of-motion exercises each day. Gently move your joint through its full range of motion, even during the time that you are resting the joint area. This will prevent stiffness in your joint. As the pain goes away, continue range-of-motion exercises and add other exercises to strengthen the muscles around your joint.
- Gradually resume your activity at a lower intensity than you maintained before your symptoms began. Warm up before and stretch after the activity. Increase your activity slowly, and stop if it hurts. After the activity, apply ice to prevent pain and swelling.
- Avoid tobacco smoke. Tendon injuries heal more slowly in smokers than in non-smokers. Smoking delays wound and tissue healing.
To prevent tendon injuries from developing or from happening again:
- Warm up and stretch. Warm up before any activity, and stretch gently after you finish.
- Strengthen your muscles to reduce stress on the soft tissues. A physiotherapist, an athletic trainer, or your doctor can teach you specific exercises for strengthening your injured area.
- Evaluate and change daily activities that tend to cause or aggravate your symptoms. In your daily routine, change activities involving repeated movements that may strain your muscles or joints. For example, start alternating hands or change the grip size of your tool.
- Try alternating your usual activities with some new ones. For example, if you like to walk for exercise and have had Achilles tendon problems, try swimming or doing water exercise on some days.
Notice what you do and how you do it, and take action if needed.
- If you suspect that certain activities at your workplace are causing a tendon injury, talk to your human resources department for information on alternative ways of doing your job, equipment modifications, or other job assignments.
- If a certain exercise or sport is causing a tendon injury, consider taking lessons to learn proper techniques. Also, have an athletic trainer or person who is familiar with sports equipment check your equipment to ensure that it is well suited to your size, strength, and ability. Demonstrate how you use your equipment, and ask for feedback about any mistakes you might be making.

Sir Paul McCartney has confirmed he'll return to the site of the Beatles' final paid-for gig to perform the stadium's last ever concert.
After months of negotiations, the rocker has revealed he will hit the stage at Candlestick Park in San Francisco on Aug. 14 as part of a farewell to the sports mecca that hosted the Fab Four in 1966.
A statement posted on McCartney's website on Thursday reads: "Putting the rumor mill to rest, Paul has confirmed that he will indeed return to San Francisco Aug. 14 to play Farewell to Candlestick: The Final Concert."
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee personally invited McCartney to close out the 54-year-old Candlestick Park last year.
Following his gig there, the former home of both baseball's Giants and football's 49ers will be demolished.

Over forty years ago, the Barnard family opened the doors of their family home on the stunning Malabar beach to transient travelers. It was a great idea back then as people would amble along the beach and inevitably come to rest at Rendezvous. Even before the hotel was established, sojourners expected to be hospitably treated there. Rendezvous has stood the test of time and today is a beacon in the local industry, of service to people. Rendezvous is the boutique hotel for couples.
If we could describe Rendezvous in one word, we would use intimate; romantic; boutique. Escape away to one of the secluded enclaves in the river pool and experience those words. A vacation at Rendezvous is built on experiences...great experiences.
Now, more than ever before we are busy, stressed and just too preoccupied with the other things in our lives to focus on each other. That can not be good and that is not good. From the design and layout to the hammocks that dot the grounds, to the personalized service of a Private Beach Dinner or a Romance Massage for two, our guests get the opportunity to rediscover life's pleasures together.
Reconnecting requires escaping the stressors of today?s world and surrendering to a slower, more relaxed pace. You would n't find a television in your room because, as you will come to notice, you simply do n't need one. You would not find the angry boss or the crying kids or the broken fax machines. Rendezvous is a couples resort for the more discerning couple that wants to spend quality time together.
This is not to say that you can not make your friends envious with up-to-date Facebook posts using the wi-fi in our public areas, or enjoy a fun personal training session in our new gym or a calming treatment in the spa centre. It is a carefully crafted balance of what you need and none of the things you can do without.

Video: Additional New Photos In Filthy Warehouse Councilman Helped
WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) -- WUSA9 has obtained photographs under the Freedom of Information Act taken inside Sam Wang Produce by inspectors the day D.C. Council Member Vincent Orange intervened on the rodent plagued warehouse's behalf.
Update: Click here to see report of ethics probe into councilmember's involvement.
Records indicate the warehouse, and people listing its address had made contributions to Orange's campaign
Follow @russptacek on Twitter or Facebook for updates on this story and other WUSA9 investigations.
Neither Orange, nor the owners of the warehouse, have returned calls for comment.
Click through all 20 new photos obtained under the Freedom of Information Act in the WUSA9 photo gallery.
Click here to see video we took of rats when we responded to the warehouse two weeks ago.
The photos show what inspectors reported the day Councilmember Orange intervened, defending the rodent plagued warehouse, and delayed an emergency closure to protect the public.
Through a spokesman, Orange claimed he was responding to a constituent request to expedite a re-inspection to reopen.
Monday, Orange issued a statement saying he was only trying to limit the period the warehouse would be closed to limit financial. impact on workers and tax coffers.
A Health Department spokeswoman said Orange's involvement did not influence the re-inspection.
Wednesday an Orange spokesman said, "the at-large councilmember will not be making additional statements on the matter."
Inspector cited violations for no soap at the handwashing sink, and raw eggs stored above green peppers creating a cross contamination risk of vegetables that might not be cooked.
Photos show pools of water, food debris, and moisture in the walk-in refrigerator and wet wood pallets on the floor.
Inspectors cited and photographed rodent droppings on the floor, and inside cartons emptied of eggs. They also identified portions chewed through.
A spokesman said the droppings were rat and or mice feces.
You can barely make out the rats we saw when we first reported on the violations last week.
Yesterday we showed you the councilmember who defended the warehouse: Vincent Orange.
Campaign finance records show Sam Wang Produce and people who list the warehouses's Morse ST NE address have donated large sums to his campaigns.
Inspectors photographed overflowing dumpsters and cited Sam Wang produce for a litter- unnecessary item violation because of cans of paint, tires, and even lawn mowers photographed inside the food warehouse.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (WUSA) - You may know the Salvation Army in Alexandria as a place where designer deals run deep. But, did you know that when you shop and save money there, you just may be helping to save a life?
Manager Lonnie Hamilton knows this firsthand. "I was homeless, I was living in the streets, and I had nothing. and I was sick and tired of being sick and tired." It may surprise regular shoppers to know that the man who has been the manager there for four years, was once homeless and down on his luck.
Once a successful entrepreneur, Hamilton says his life got off track, he turned to drinking and drugging. Then, one night, when he says he had hit rock bottom, he entered the Salvation Army's Rehabilitation program. "They saved my life and turned me around. I started working here at the store as a furniture representative, now I'm the manager of the store."
And Hamilton is just one of many men the program has helped who now work in the store. When shoppers enter or leave, they've no doubt crossed paths with Thomas Corbett III. But, Corbett's future was once pretty dark. " I called here from the streets of Washington D.C. homeless, big down, and the doors opened here, that was 6 year ago, May 24, 2006, I haven't been back. This is home."
From Thomas to Lonnie, and even some workers behind the scenes, you could say they may be the greatest save of all. Hamilton has advice for men who were once where he was, "Don't give up. There is hope for you, leave your mind and your heart open to suggestion. The sky's the limit."
The Salvation Army's Adult Rehabilitation Centers can help men and women who have lost the ability to cope with their problems and provide for themselves. They offer housing, work, group and individual therapy. If you or someone you know needs help, you can call the intake office at 1-800-SA-TRUCK (728-7825) to make an appointment or get more information.

Hi Steff,
I hope you will find a decent mapper here around, we did talked on teh FB group before.
- Josephe
Hi everyone.
I'm in need of an artist who can draw/paint floorplans in 28mm scale. I'm hoping to start a series of floorplan booklets for sale on drivethrurpg as a PDF and on our upcoming webite as A1 gloss prints.
Each booklet will contain roughly 28pages with maps, object such as tables and lamps, etc and also a small scenario relevant to the map, scenario ideas and seeds, and notes.
As the artist you will be responsible for 4-6 US letter sized maps (often combining one image) and 2 pages of objects. The writing and layout will be done by others. If successful, we'd like to use you as the regular artist for further products.
This is a paying gig to be paid upon completion via Paypal or BACS (BACS in the UK only).
This first commission will be of a 2 masted sailing vessel (2 decks) suitable for a fantasy setting (while being much smaller, the word 'Galleon' seems to fit).
Your skills
You will have experience in providing maps/plans to clients and a provable completion rate.
Your medium will be in any reasonable art software program (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc) or in a physical medium (paint, ink) that can be scanned and sent electronically.
Your skill will be of a good standard. Amateurs are welcome to apply providing they have the skill. I am favourable towards realistic looking textures and good lighting effects.
You will be contactable with message turnover not exceeding one day. There's nothing more worrying to a publisher than freelancer silence.
If you are interested, please send the information below to myself via PM here, or preferably, via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com with the message line reading 'FLOORPLAN COMMISSION'
Info needed (essential):
Your rate per letter sized colour floorplan
Your rate per project (6 full page images + 2 full page of 'object')
Your turnaround time for the project
Your full name
link to your online work
link to previous commissions.
I'm afraid I don't respond to question regarding 'my budget' and prefer to pay, or decline, what the artist think their work is worth.
Feel free to ask me any other question via the same method.
I hope to hear from you soon!
Steff. Worthington
Owner, Stygian Fox Publishing
Hi Steff,
I hope you will find a decent mapper here around, we did talked on teh FB group before.
- Josephe
Wow. I know where to come when I need more maps! The response was fantastic and from some great artists.
The positions have been filled. Thank you, genuinely, to all those who submitted.

MIAMI (AP) — A South Florida jury is back for a third day of deliberations in the trial of a man accused of fatally shooting Washington Redskins star Sean Taylor during an ill-fated 2007 burglary.
Jurors wanted to quit early Thursday because some had planned Halloween trick-or-treat outings with their children.
They were scheduled to resume debating the fate of 23-year-old Eric Rivera Jr. on Friday morning.
Rivera is accused of murder and armed burglary and could get a life prison sentence if convicted. He confessed to police that he shot Taylor during the attempted burglary, but he testified in his own defense that the confession was improperly coerced.
Four other young men from the Fort Myers area were charged, and one has pleaded guilty. The other three will stand trial later.
