PAMPA - It's back. Rabies, a virus that attacks the nervous system in animals and people, has started appearing in the area, with three confirmed cases since Jan. 1 and one case pending in Pampa, officials said.
The first confirmed case was reported Jan. 15 near Mobeetie, the second Jan. 29 north of McLean, and the third Feb. 14 in eastern Gray County, said Dr. James Alexander with the Texas Department of Health zoonosis control division.
Those cases already outdo the numbers that TDH Region 1, which covers the entire Panhandle, reported this time last year, he said.
"We're seeing a definite increase in the number of skunks," he said.
Pampa animal control director Sandy Burns said Monday she just sent off a suspected rabies case to Austin for testing. The skunk was found Friday near the city landfill, she said.
"We've had fairly decent moisture, which creates better food supplies, giving skunks a better source of nutrition, which creates bigger litters and more skunks with rabies," he said.
In the first case, a Mobeetie man apparently trapped the skunk in a doghouse, Alexander said. In the latest confirmed case, a skunk was wandering outside during the daytime, and it attacked a puppy, which was later destroyed, Alexander said.
"Stay away from them (skunks). When you see nocturnal animals out in the daytime, they could be dangerous," he said.
The rabies virus results in paralysis and almost certain death once the symptoms appear, according to a TDH news release. The virus is present in the saliva of the rabid animal and most commonly is spread by a bite from an infected animal, the release said. Prompt, appropriate treatment after being bitten and before the disease develops can stop infection and prevent the disease in people, the release said.
After a steady climb for years, the TDH recorded 40 cases in 2001, the most seen since 1979, Alexander said.
On the plus side, rabies has not found a significant foothold among domestic animals. Less than five of last year's cases involved cats, dogs or horses, he said. He urges families to vaccinate their pets, and adds suggestions to keep rabid animals away, including bringing in food for pets and eliminating places where skunks can hide, like in garbage or brush.

I have 10's and 100's of topics I can toss in that section, I will be posting in there when I get time, and I will get back to my threads soon.
Just want everyone to know that as much as i am a knicks fan and love to talk about them, other issues hit me when im on this forum. And i just feel like expressing my questions or opinions on other topics in the "Hangout" section, so if more people can drop by and check it out and add some threads to it, it can make this site better and more interesting since alot of people were sayin how this site has gone down hill. im just throwin in ideas to put this site on the high point again.
I have 10's and 100's of topics I can toss in that section, I will be posting in there when I get time, and I will get back to my threads soon.
At the same time, how about also checking out "Other Sports". I just posted a thread there. LOL! This site would definitely be better with diverse and varied posts and topics. It's too bad those other sections get ignored. Maybe threads from those other sections should also show up in "Recent Forum Threads" since I'm sure 80% of all users here usually only check that part on the homepage.
**** this site, get the **** out the crib, site should be shut down so ya bumbass kids like metro, ill be forced to go out and do something productive, ****in losers, tell rady to ban me off this wack ****
Calm down man, there's an ignore user feature. Use it if you think it helps
We all got lives here, and what we would like to do here is build up a stronger community base to represent the Knicks and their fans. To have a nice place where people can speak out about their favorite team along with other mentions. Meaning, instead of being one dimensional, we are open to a sort things and interests that go on around the world. If you really think about it, there are many productive things being done, and that can be accomplished here.
If you do not like this site/forum then simple do not post then, but just remember not everyone in life will be nice to you and you just have to learn how to deal with that. I am not saying to leave, I think everyone should stay disregarding any attitude, yall need to just try and get along-
I think the home page has to be updated constantly. The story of the last Knicks loss and Dlee sitting sad on the bench is getting on my nerves. There's still a poll on it asking when I saiah should get fired. Sites have to remain current!! We have a new coach, manager, draft pick; yet the only story on the home page is our last loss.
Paul doesn't want to 'make this site better.' He is looking for people to come and join his side.
i believe we should update the news feeds on the right of the home page to trade rumor referrences or what not....the whole front page needs a facelift

Caring for Someone With Heart Disease
For almost half of their 54 years of marriage, Paul and Juanita Gagne have battled against his heart disease.
Twenty-five years ago, Paul Gagne, 77, was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, a disease that weakens the heart muscle. Last year, he received a type of mechanical heart support called a left ventricular assist device, or LVAD, to assist with his heart condition.

Understanding Low Blood Pressure -- Diagnosis and Treatment
Low blood pressure is not always a sign of a problem. But if you have symptoms of low blood pressure, your doctor can diagnose the condition and uncover the cause. Symptoms of dizziness and lightheadedness when you stand up from sitting or lying down -- with a decrease in your blood pressure -- may indicate a condition called postural hypotension. A wide range of underlying conditions may also cause your symptoms. It's important to identify the cause of low blood pressure so appropriate treatment...
Read the Understanding Low Blood Pressure -- Diagnosis and Treatment article > >
As his primary caregiver, his wife Juanita, 75, performs a daily sterile dressing change where the LVAD line comes out from his abdomen. She does most of the cooking to follow a low-salt and low-fat diet, reminds him to take his medications, and goes to doctor's appointments with him.
"I'm just happy to do it and that I still have him. You have to know in your mind that this is something you want to do, and set yourself to it," says Juanita, a Grandview, Mo., resident.
Doctors play an important role in guiding patients and caregivers on how to manage heart disease. WebMD spoke with two cardiologists about tips and advice they offer to caregivers on how to take care of someone with heart problems.
Paul's doctor, Tracy Stevens, MD, a cardiologist with Saint Luke's Mid America Heart and Vascular Institute in Kansas City, Mo., recommends a general guideline of one protein and two colors -- fruits or vegetables -- for each meal. It keeps patients away from french fries, chips, and cheese, she says. Her other tips include:
- Meet with a dietitian to design a customized plan that fits your particular heart condition.
- Eat food without nutrition labels. This means less packaged, processed food and more fresh fruits and vegetables.
- Aim for lean meats such as chicken and fish. If a protein has a label, it is processed and preservatives such as salt may have been added.
- Read labels carefully, especially paying attention to sodium. For a person with heart failure, too much salt could mean a trip to the hospital.
- Try to avoid processed food, high-glucose foods, fried foods, and white carbohydrates such as white flour and white rice
- Indulge wisely. Make sure the portion size is small. A pizza and dessert now and then aren't out of the question, just as long as it's not overboard on the sodium.

I enjoy using Teton Sports products. The bag itself is good. I used it in approx. 23 degrees at night and it did ok, I had to keep it tight and closed over my head, and on or off cold/warm depending on how much I moved. I wore a light base layer, a fleece jacket, a hood, and wool socks, and a Teton pad (the pad was great). Not as warm as I thought it would be but it was very cold. Probably not for low 20's or colder since the 5 degree rating is the keep you alive temp. The next night was about 10-12 degrees warmer, started around 40's down to around 33-35 degrees. The bag worked perfect, I stayed warm and kept my head out of the bag. I wore the same stuff except I wore a light fleece pullover instead of a fleece jacket. For a mummy bag I believe its a good product for the price point. Being my first, I found out I do not like mummy bags, nor 20 degree weather in a bag. You cannot move around as much as I like, therefore I do not like a mummy bag but that is my problem. If you are looking for decent mid range mummy bag for 30 degree temps and higher you found it. You can also compress the bag a good bit, depending on the pack you have, you may find it an issue getting into bag compartment. I was able to compress it enough to fit into the bag compartment on a Teton Sprots Explorer 4000 bit its tight. Better if you load the bag first prior to everything else.
I'm 6'1" @ 180lb. I have 0degree Teton bag in XL size and love it. However the Tracker does not have the same comfort. It's very warm, but impossible to move your legs, and the length is too short form my height. It gave it to my 12yo son - he loves it! At 5'1", there's plenty of room for him to roll thru the night, he's never cold (been down to 35degreeF overnight) - and it packs very small - good for scout backpacking.

Washington, D.C.—A fact sheet from the White House today warning of severe consequences from sequestration—from many fewer food inspections to thousands of mentally ill adults and children not receiving needed treatment—sharply underscores the need to avoid these drastic, across-the-board budget cuts scheduled for March 1, the leader of the nation's largest independent union of federal employees said."The administration's fact sheet is a look into a reality our country can and must avoid," said President Colleen M. Kelley of the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU). Among many other effects, the White House said sequestration would result in:• The loss of 2,100 fewer food inspections risking outbreaks of foodborne illnesses and putting families at risk; • Depriving up to 373,000 seriously mentally ill adults and children of needed treatment; • Significant reduction in the ability of the Internal Revenue Service to assist millions of taxpayers in the height of the tax-filing season;• The dropping of some 600,000 women and children from nutrition assistance programs; • As many as 3,000 fewer inpatient admissions and 804,000 fewer outpatient visits among American tribal communities;• Delays in decision-making for turning new science and technology into life-saving medicines; and• The loss of access to Head Start and Early Head Start by up to 70,000 children."Sequestration would also compromise border security because of a reduction in the numbers of Customs and Border Protection Officers at ports of entry and lead to significantly longer wait times at border crossings," Kelley said."There are those in Congress to whom sequestration is just another political bargaining chip," President Kelley said. "The realities laid bare by this fact sheet clearly show that sequestration would be a disaster, and would slow economic growth and job creation." NTEU's number one priority, Kelley said, is to ensure that employees can continue to work and meet the missions of their agencies. While the union has had "very preliminary discussions" with agencies, Kelley said, "We have no detailed information on sequestration plans." NTEU has been in contact with those it represents on sequestration, along with the March 27 expiration of the continuing resolution and the May 18 deadline for increasing the nation's debt limit. "We have been providing our members with detailed information on these issues through e-mail, web sites and local communications," Kelley said. "That effort will continue as more information becomes available."The NTEU leader emphasized that federal employees—who already have contributed $103 billion over 10 years to deficit reduction, thanks to a continuing two-year pay freeze and higher pension contributions—are middle class working people who, like many others, live paycheck to paycheck. Thus, potential cuts to their pay because of mandated furlough days would constitute a severe financial hardship for them. "This is an untenable situation," Kelley said, "and one that can be avoided. NTEU will do all it can to mitigate the financial impact on employees."NTEU is the largest independent federal union, representing 150,000 employees in 31 agencies and departments.

Creativity really does bring peace and balance. By finding a way to be creative in life it can help challenge the brain mentally, but also help to keep the mind, body and soul balanced. Whether it is drawing, sculpting, painting, gardening, writing, dancing, or playing music; there seems to be a never ending venue to choose from when finding that special niche that a person is passionate about in order to bring creativity back into your life.
Many people on the autism spectrum or those with mental health challenges are actually extremely creative and are artists in some way or another. It seems to help to re-balance tranquility, peace of mind and brings stronger focus. A person does not need to be challenged by mental illness or have an ASD (autism spectrum) disorder in order to benefit from creativity. Many people can easily benefit by just taking a few minutes a day to spend on something they have a strong passion for and looking for ways to turn that passion into a creative path as well.
The most important thing to remember though, is to keep your ideas stress free and stick to your strongest passions in order for it to be enjoyable and fun. It should be something a person can literally become lost in time with so to say. Try to think outside the box when looking for that creative side as well. Being creative can also come from helping others to find ways to be creative in their lives, such in within nursing and retirement homes, and by volunteering to help others in a variety of fields.
Finding ideas for creativity can be challenging for some people, but remember that there is the internet and the local library. Here in Saint Cloud we have a variety of dance studios, community classes, the Paramount Theater, and the neighboring art gallery. Just keep an open mind and be sure to 'think outside the box."

Assuming that movies reflect — and influence — a country's preoccupations and prejudices, then the legacy of the Holocaust is still haunting Europe.
German and French filmmakers have been at the forefront of this self-examination, courageously probing the sins of their forebears.
In Poland, where for decades both communists and right-wing nationalists have held that all war crimes were committed by Nazis, some powerful movies have dared to assert that Poles, too, were complicit in the killing of Jews. Many other Poles, it must be emphasized, risked and lost their lives hiding and protecting Jews.
Last year's "Aftermath" and the current "Run Boy Run" examine this dual Polish behavior during the war, but "Ida," a Polish drama directed by Paweł Pawlikowski, is in a category of its own. It is the antithesis of the shoot-'em-up action film, photographed in monochromatic hues. At its center is a two-woman odd couple embarking on the oddest of road trips.
Anna is a young novice nun, about to take her vows as a full member of the order, who is told by her Mother Superior that she must first travel outside the convent to meet her only known relative. The relative turns out to be Wanda, a chain-smoking, hard-drinking middle-aged woman, who identifies herself as Anna's aunt and opens the conversation with the statement, "So you are a Jewish nun?"
Anna learns that she was born as the Jewish Ida Lebenstein, whose parents and brother were killed by a Polish peasant who took over the family's home and farm near Lublin.
The film's action is set in the early 1960s in a Poland ruled by a communist regime, for which the older woman, nicknamed "Red Wanda," once served as a public prosecutor, pitilessly pursuing "enemies of socialism." For some unexplained misdemeanors, she has been demoted to magistrate, dealing with petty domestic disputes, without losing her prosecutorial skills.
The two women, however disparate, are united in their determination to find the burial site of Ida's parents and brother, and they set out for Lublin in Wanda's car. On the way, they give a ride to a handsome young jazz saxophonist, heading for a gig in a nearby town, who invites the women to the evening's dance.
Anna/Ida, of course, refuses, while Wanda gets dressed up and, after a quick pickup by a man at the bar, returns to the bedroom she shares with the younger woman, who is still reading her Bible.
"Of course, I am the slut and you are the little saint," Wanda observes acidly.
The pronouncement turns out not to be quite accurate for either woman, and their character changes are more important to Pawlikowski than the plot line.
"This is a quiet, oblique film … that deals with the paradox of change in one's lifetime," he observed in a phone interview from New York, where he was promoting the film. If there is a conclusion to be drawn from "Ida," and many of his other films, it is that "life is complicated and forgiveness is crucial."
Pawlikowski returned to his native Poland recently after 35 years of living in Britain, where he has been making documentaries and feature films, including such international hits as "Last Resort" and "My Summer of Love." He said he returned to a country quite changed from the country of his youth and its then-prevalent prejudices.
"There are still anti-Semitic elements in Poland," he said, "but, in general, Jewishness is considered hip, Catholic and Jewish Poles are symbiotic, and we feel the absence of large Jewish communities."
Pawlikowski represents some of this symbiosis in his own background. "I was baptized as a child, but I also know that my paternal grandmother died in Auschwitz," he said.
The two leading ladies of "Ida" are a study in contrasts, and not only in the roles they play in the film. Agata Kulesza as Wanda is one of her country's leading actresses, and she brings to her tough, defiant and driven film persona a superb talent and convincing honesty.
Agata Trzebuchowska shares the same first name with her older partner but otherwise is her complete opposite. A college student, she was discovered by a friend of the director in a Warsaw cafe and when offered the acting role wasn't particularly interested. That was fine with Pawlikowski, who said, "I didn't want any professional histrionics in that role."
As Anna/Ida, the young actress shows flashes of underlying sensuousness, but her performance is dominated by a spiritual yearning.
The film's final scene shows Anna/Ida, wearing a nun's head covering, walking down a seemingly endless road. "We don't know whether she will return to the convent," Pawlikowski said. "We do know that she will continue to seek spiritual fulfillment."
"Ida" will screen at three Laemmle theaters in May.

New leaked screenshots point to a 18th century France setting for this fall's "Assassin's Creed" title, Kotaku reported Wednesday.
The shots, allegedly sent to the gaming blog by an anonymous source, are the first reveal of the next title in the long-running series, currently codenamed "Unity." They show what appears to be a new assassin roaming around the streets and landmarks of Paris. Kotaku reports Notre Dame, the Seine River and other Parisian landmarks can be seen in the shots.
"Unity" is apparently one of two major "Assassin's Creed" titles releasing this fall, according to sources. "Unity" will be released on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, while another game is being prepped for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. This could point to a title completely built from the ground up for the newly released consoles without the limitations of cross-generation development and the Xbox 360 and PS3 holding it back.
The setting and assassin are a departure from the Kenway clan's escapes of "Assassin's Creed III" and last year's "Assassins' Creed IV: Black Flag," which rejuvenated the series for many. Many have clamored for a French Revolution-set title for some time, and it appears "Unity" will fill that void.
Expect more information to be released in the months leading to the Electronic Entertainment Expo in June.

Rachel Schidecker, the teenager who allegedly drove the wrong way on Interstate 75, while drunk, causing a head-on crash that killed a 39-year old woman has filed answers to the lawsuit filed against her and her mother, Jenny Schidecker. The answer was filed on April 27, 2014, by Schidecker's attorney, Timothy B. Schenkel of the law firm Freund, Freeze & Arnold.
As far as answers to lawsuits go, this filing is pretty standard. Schidecker alleges that any damages incurred by the family of Chereece Rule, who was killed in the crash, and David Wilson, the driver of the car in which Rule was travelling, were partially due to the negligence of the victim.
Chereece Rule was in the passenger seat when Schidecker's car collided with the vehicle she was in, causing the car to be pushed in to the path of a tractor-trailer. The vehicle was dragged several thousand feet and eventually burst into flames. Wilson was partially ejected and rescued by a couple of good samaritans. He suffered extensive injuries. The witnesses said that Chereece Rule was trapped in the wreckage and they were not able to rescue her. They stated they could hear her screaming for help before the flames took her life.
Schidecker had a blood alcohol level of 0.236%, which is almost three times the legal limit in Ohio for anyone age 21 or older. Because Schidecker was only 18 at the time of the crash, the legal limit was 0.02%. She has reportedly enrolled in a 12-step program since the crash. Schidecker's mother, Jenny Schidecker was named in the lawsuit because she was the owner of the vehicle that her daughter, Rachel, was driving.
A scheduling conference will be held on May 14th at the Montgomery County Common Pleas Court. Schidecker was indicted on numerous charges including Aggravated Vehicular Homicide. The criminal case is schedule to go to a jury trial on June 10, 2014. Just this week, the prosecutor issued subpoenas to numerous people, including witnesses, emergency medical and fire department personnel, troopers and hospital staff.

Thirteen years after a building fund was first established, the Oakhurst Branch Library's long dreamed of expansion is finally complete. A grand opening for the new 2,000 square-foot expansion will be held Wednesday, June 12 at the library, 49044 Civic Circle Drive.
The event will begin at 4 p.m. with children's activities and music by Barbara Ulman. At 5 p.m., there will be presentations by Friends of the Oakhurst Branch Library President Candace Flammang, former FOBL president Dr. Angelo Pizelo, and Madera County District 5 Supervisor Tom Wheeler. The official ribbon cutting will be held at 5:30 p.m. followed with refreshments.
"The entire Oakhurst community is invited to come and visit our new community room and, in addition, go on a tour of our new children's room, teen area, ESL computer stations and much more," said Dale Rushing, Oakhurst Library branch manager.
Besides the new community room, the library's new expansion also includes a small warming kitchen for hospitality, a small staff room and two Americans with Disabilities Act compliant restrooms. FOBL also has a book processing room and storage area on the south end of the expansion.
Both Rushing and Ellen Mester, Madera County librarian, said none of this would have been possible without the Friends.
"The remodel of the Oakhurst Library and the transformation of the Fire Station into a Community room has been a long but worthy process," Mester said. "The tireless hard work and tenacity of the Friends of the Oakhurst Library made it all possible."
Mester also said there were others that played an integral part in getting the project completed. Those people include: Bill Hayter, who coordinated the project, as well as Dale Rushing, Jim Elliott, Candace Flammang, and District 5 Supervisor Tom Wheeler.
Flammang also gave a big thanks to Elliott, who worked with FOBL, Rushing, and Hayter through the remodel project since 2010.
"Jim is one of the most valuable FOBL members and volunteers an extraordinary number of hours," Flammang said. "He has addressed many details that were overlooked, and solved numerous problems as they arose. One of his new projects is the decoration of the Children's Area. "
Now that the library has the new Library Community Room, The Sue Rhu Room is being turned into a children's room.
Mester also thanked the Mountain Area community for their patience throughout the whole process.
"It is a beautiful wonderful addition to our library and to the Oakhurst community," Mester said.
The library has been part of the community since 1911, however, it has been at its present location since 1977. That was the same year Friends of the Oakhurst Branch Library was organized to help support the needs of the library. Since then, FOBL has been instrumental in raising funds for the expansion.
When FOBL past President Angelo Pizelo first established the library's building fund in 2000.
"At the time we needed space because when we got new books we had to get rid of old books to make room and it didn't seem right," Pizelo said.
The plan was to build a 2000 square foot room on the northwest end of the library, but there wasn't enough money. So, in 2003, FOBL petitioned Supervisor Gary Gilbert to dedicate the Fire Station property to the library and in 2006 the Madera County Board of Supervisors designated it to the library.
The Friends began to raise money for expansion through book sales and the support of other groups such as Service Organization of the Sierra, Sierra Telephone, and many others. Twelve years after they began, FOBL had collected $150,000 -- 60% of that from book sales. Money was also raised through piano concerts by Barbara Ulman and Elizabeth Walter.
"It took a lot of friends involved -- not only the Friends, but also people that donated books and people offering to help with sales," Pizelo said. "It's really been a community effort."
The building fund still needed more money, though, and Flammang said they spent many years looking for grants but receiving no results.
Finally, in 2010, the Madera County Resource Management Agency found a United States Department of Agriculture Community Facilities grant, and hired Hayter of WLH & Associates to apply for the grant and manage the remodel project. FOBL secured a matching-funds grant with $150,000 in the Building Fund from the United States Department of Agriculture Community Facilities, part of the American Restoration and Recovery Act.
In September 2010, FOBL signed an agreement with USDA and a memorandum of understanding with Madera County that FOBL money would be spent first and is retained by FOBL until billed through Madera County. Construction on the library remodel of the Fire Station began Oct, 8, 2012 and was completed February 2013.
"All of it was just a magical evolution of the library itself," Pizelo said. "It's just amazing what we've done. Talk about dedication, these people (FOBL) are just amazing."
Flammang, who has been a FOBL board member for 13 years, is pleased to finally see everyone's hard work come to fruition with the completion of the library remodel/expansion.
"I'm pleased that our FOBL Board persevered and completed what was started in 2001," Flammang said. "Most of our board members have served for more than five years. Pride, joy, lots of energy expended, satisfaction, appreciation for everyone's help -- we feel so pleased to see the addition completed."
Anyone interested in using the new Library Community Room can contact the library at (559) 683-4838. The room is free of charge for use by nonprofit groups and is available for $25 to business groups.

GREENVILLE, N.C. --- Michael Murray has been named assistant men's tennis coach at East Carolina University, announced head coach Shawn Heinchon on Thursday. Murray joins the Pirates after spending five years as the head boy's and girl's varsity tennis coach at Forsyth Country Day School in Winston-Salem.
During his five years at Forsyth Country Day, Murray helped guide the Furies to four boys' conference titles and two girls' championships. He also created year-round programs for players of all ages and skill levels as well as a tennis academy.
"We are fortunate to have Mike as our new assistant coach," Heinchon said. "This is a great catch for us. I have known him for a long time; his leadership and passion for tennis will no doubt help our program."
Murray, a 2003 graduate of Wake Forest University, played four years for the Demons Deacons while Heinchon served as assistant men's tennis coach on the Winston-Salem campus.
"I want to thank Coach Heinchon and East Carolina University for this fantastic opportunity," Murray said. "I am excited to be a Pirate and I can't wait to help our team get better."
Murray ranks among the Deacons' all-time top-10 in singles and doubles victories. He posted 95 individual wins and teamed with numerous doubles partners for 82 triumphs. Both totals ranked third in school history at the time of his graduation.
As a freshman, he set the Demon Deacons' freshman singles record with a team-high 26 wins. The following the year he finished as ACC No. 2 Flight Champion Runner-up and ranked as high as No. 60 in the ITA individual rankings. He finished his collegiate career with 28 singles wins in 2003.
A native of St. Petersburg, Fla., Murray was ranked as the state's top high school player among the nation's top-20 prospects in 1999. Murray helped the Deacons climb from No. 65 in the ITA rankings the season prior to his arrival to No. 17 during his senior campaign.

These days consumers are going crazy over coconut using it in cooking, cocktails, cosmetics and as a health food. Coconut goes back as early as the 1700's in Southern desserts - shredded in pies, macaroons and ambrosia. In the South, coconut cake originated as many families' holiday tradition at Christmas. In the 19th century, poet Emily Dickinson, known for her love of baking, popularized it with her recipe of "Cocoanut Cake."
Today, coconut flavors are tasteful accents in global and eclectic cuisines. According to Darren Tristano of Technomic, "Coconut is associated with many global cuisines, including Asian, Caribbean and South American. Consumers want to try global flavors when dining out. Adding coconut to a dish or drink adds an ethnic taste without making it too intimidating for guests."
As the Filipino adage goes, "If you could count the stars, then you could count all the ways the coconut tree serves us." This message resounds throughout American cuisine as coconut is no longer just used in curries and tropical cocktails. In the last few years coconut water and coconut milk became popular as healthy, nutritious and dairy-free drinks; now coconut oil and coconut have raised the bar in chefs' kitchens and in the home across the country.
Coconut oil has become a favored oil of choice as a staple cooking oil due to its health benefits and tolerance of higher temperatures such as in deep frying. It is believed that the health benefits are numerous for diet, healthy skin and hair, weight loss and boosting metabolism.
Unique flavorful adult beverages are creating a hybrid market for drinks, particularly tantalizing millennials. Last month, Pernod Ricard launched Malibu Rum Sparkler, which combines Malibu rum and coconut water infused with bubbles and packaged with a cork. Coconut water is used as a simple syrup for cocktails and natural coconut is infused in vodkas making for a unique coconut martini.
Coconut water, milk and oil have become popular in vegan and dairy-free recipes as well. Try this delicious vegan recipe for a healthy veggie-packed dish from Silk.
Vegan Sage, Broccoli and Squash Risotto
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 cup butternut squash, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup broccoli, chopped
- 2 Tbsp. green onion, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 1 1/4 cup Silk Original Unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup light coconut milk
- 1 1/2 cup water
- 1 Tbsp. fresh rosemary
- 4-5 fresh sage leaves, chopped
- In a deep sauté pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add squash, broccoli and green onion, sautéing for 4-5 minutes (until softened).
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add rice and toss for one minute.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together almond milk, coconut milk, water, rosemary and sage.
- Add one cup of liquid mixture to rice and vegetables and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to simmer and continue mixing liquid in 1/2 cup at a time as it absorbs; stir frequently.
- Once all liquid is added (total cook time: 20-25 minutes), serve warm over a bowl of greens or as a side.

Coconut has not only gone global; it has gone gourmet and great for those with special dietary needs or requirements. It might become the next staple in your pantry or bar.

The "Human Barbie" Valeria Lukyanova has spawned some competition. Alina Kovalevskaya, a willowy 22-year-old blonde beauty from Odessa, Ukraine, is making headlines for her doll-like appearance.
"Now I have the image of a Barbie doll," Kovalevskaya told Barcroft TV. "I consider big eyes, small noses and small plump lips as beautiful."
Interestingly, Alina hails from the same town as Lukyanova, who is now a global sensation. Valeria has more than 1.1 million Facebook fans despite never having starred in a movie or done professional modeling, all thanks to her Barbie doll looks.
Kovalevskaya said she and Lukyanova used to be friends, but "misunderstandings" have caused a rift between them. "I have had certain misunderstandings with Valeria after which we ceased to communicate," said Alina. "There was a certain negative attitude from her towards me and now we do not communicate."
Are the Human Barbies Promoting Anorexia and Bulimia?
The Human Barbies' soaring popularity has raised concerns that their super-skinny bodies promote eating disorders and poor self-esteem, especially among their young fans.
Earlier this year, Lukyanova made headlines after revealing she wanted to convert to the extreme breatharian diet and subsist on nothing but air and light. "In recent weeks I have not been hungry at all," said Lukyanova. "I'm hoping it's the final stage before I can subsist on air and light alone."
The tiny-waisted Valeria explained that her light-and-air diet is part of her conversion to "breatharianism," a belief associated with the concept of inedia, or fasting.
Proponents of breatharianism believe people can subsist for extended periods of time without food or water, fueled solely by transcendental life energy. Not surprisingly, some breatharians have starved to death after following this starvation diet.
Valeria is no stranger to extreme diets. For years, the super-skinny Human Barbie has followed an extreme low-calorie, vegetarian diet. "If you want to live a long life and stay beautiful, eat vegetables and herbs," Lukyanova told the Daily Beast. "Eat very small portions. I do a serious workout in the gym three times a week and I run a lot."
Both Human Barbies Deny Multiple Plastic Surgeries
Despite their inhuman appearance, both Human Barbies insist their beauty is natural. Lukyanova has been accused of getting multiple plastic surgeries, including a nose job and other face work, but she said she has only gotten breast implants. Meanwhile, Alina claims she has had no plastic surgery, and credited artful makeup application for her doll-like beauty.
When asked why she prefers to live her live as a Human Barbie, Lukyanova said she wants to inspire others. "The Barbie doll looks perfect," said Valeria. "I believe the way I look inspires other people to improve their appearance, eat healthy, and live a more active, creative life."
Lukyanova, 28, also said she's not human and has visited many alien civilizations. "My out-of-body experiences began when I was a little girl: I could travel outside of my body to other planets and universes," she said.

Oops! Google Apparently Started Selling New Nexus Phone by Mistake
Vincent Trivett
A peek behind the curtain.
The consumer gadget world in 2013 is a piece of silent kabuki theater between the press and comically tight-lipped companies. Pictures leak from Asian factories and accessory manufacturers up until the moment of the theatrical product unveiling.
Well, the leak for
(NASDAQ:GOOG) newest phone, the Nexus 5, actually came from Google itself. Oops!
Last night, people started noticing the Nexus 5 in the
Google Play store
, selling for $349. An 8-gigabyte storage version was priced at just $299. Since then, Google has squashed the leak, and the year-old Nexus 4 is back, for the same price.
The screw-up validated several leaks about the phone's body. The Nexus 5 has a rather large 1080p 4.95-inch display with very little side bezel. The back-facing camera looks like it sticks out a bit, unlike the one on the previous model. This could mean better camera guts, approaching
(NYSE:NOK) 41-megapixel beast of a
Windows Phone
(NASDAQ:MSFT). Previous leaks also hinted that Google stuck with
(NASDAQ:QCOM) for the processor, upgrading to a quicker 2.3 GHz Snapdragon 800 CPU.
The most interesting point here is the pricing. Anyone planning on spending $350 on a Nexus 4 should hold off. Android 4.4, nicknamed Kit-Kat, is generally a small iterative change over the last version, but the screenshots of the leak show that Google gave its own Hangouts app the slot normally reserved for SMS texting, as
Engadget points out
For investors, this is also interesting. Consumers see Google as the provider of search results, free email, and such, but to Wall Street, it's basically just an advertising company. However, as we saw in Google's
latest earnings release,
the non-ad business grew 85% year-over-year while advertising grew just 15%. The stuff outside of Google's core revenue stream, including Nexus devices, Chromebooks, apps, and media on Google Play and YouTube, is now $1.3 billion, or 9% of its total revenue, not counting the money-losing Motorola Mobility unit.

Two bodies were pulled from Lake Erie and identified as the two women who were with a group of four reported missing on Wednesday. Amy Santus, 33, and Page Widmer, 16, were found floating in the water with their life jackets on, according to MSN News on April 18.
The two women reportedly went fishing on Lake Erie with the two men who are still missing today. The women sent pictures of themselves fishing to relatives on Wednesday. When they didn't return on Wednesday night, police were called.
Their "partially submerged boat" was found on a reef near the Davis-Besse nuclear power plant. The women's bodies were found in the lake not far from the power plant where the boat was found, which is near Toledo, Ohio. Police report that there are still no sign of the men.
Their truck with the attached boat trailer was found at the marina where they launched their boat when police first started the search. The water is cold and coast guard officials said it depends on the size and weight of the person in the water when estimating how long they could survive the elements. It also depends on what the person was wearing to also determine their ability to survive the cold.
The coast guard estimated a window of about eight-hours for the men to survive in the water. They searched all day Thursday in helicopters and boats, despite passing of their eight hour estimated window for their survival. The water in the search area was about 35 to 40 degrees, reports the coast guard.
According to Pennlive.com today, the four in the fishing group had sent text messages back to relatives that they were headed for shore and on their way home, but they never arrived. The search for the two missing boaters was suspended after not finding the missing men on Thursday. The search will continue "pending any new developments." On Thursday rescue crews searched more than 200 nautical miles in the rescue area, to no avail.

I've recently started using a Hauppauge HD PVR and when I record the M2TS files and import them into Sony Vegas, I get an error message saying Sony vegas has stopped working.
Before you say anything, don't bother telling me I need to update drivers, I've tried the 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 drivers and none of them have fixed this stupid problem.
Right now I am having to convert the files but this is actually troublesome because it takes a long time to convert the HD files plus at times the converted files has sound problems.
If anyone can tell me how to get the M2TS files to work on Vegas, I'd really appreciate it.
Note: I do not own Sony Vegas Pro, I am using the downgraded version because its alot cheaper.
I've been using Vegas Pro since version 8 and both drivers versions for the PVR work. Not to mention Sony Movie Studio 9 is a "dumb" down version of Vegas Pro 9. Uninstall everything and use a program like ccleaner to make sure everything from the program is removed so no traces are found. Then go here http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/...rials/vegaspro and download Vegas Pro 11 trial. Try that and it should work.
But still, even if your advice was useful, it wouldn't have helped because I simply cannot afford the pro versions, not trying to sound offensive but they aren't worth what Sony charge for.
Something to look at, do you have any extra Codec like K-Lite Codec? I run Vegas Pro 11 and I kept having similar failures/problems and I found that Vegas was failing because of the Codec. If so try uninstalling them and see if the problem still exist. Just a suggestion, good luck.

Glad to hear that you enjoyed your private ruck.
Got some time today to take a ruck march by myself. Walked about 6 miles. At the 1/2 point took a break and put some Beckers to work.
Needed a place to hang my shirt and hat - BK2 helped with that.
Some of my kit
BK13 making feather stick for fire (just practice - only got it started and then put it out. Didn't want anyone to find me)
BK2 helping gather tinder
Great couple of hours ALL BY MYSELF!!!! Hotter than HE double hockey sticks. But well worth it.
Glad to hear that you enjoyed your private ruck.
Sounds like a great way to spend an afternoon. Congrats on scoring a little free time! I'm still working on that but sooner or later it'll happen.

I read many times Windows 7 is unable to boot from an external FireWire drive but I wonder if Windows 8 is able to do so.
I need to run Windows on my Mac but only very few times so my idea was to move it all to an external drive. I have one of the first Intel Macs so running Windows in a virtual machine is not really fun. The performance is just too poor.

I havent been active on here during this pregnancy, but I watched the board every now and then. I just thought I'd share my story.
On July 4th after fireworks, my husband and I stayed up late and watched our baby girl move all around. We were amazed about how much she was moving. We went to bed so happy. We woke up early the next morning for our last OB appointment before the scheduled csection (scheduled for July 11th). At the appointment, we just discussed the plans for the delivery and then my doctor said "Okay, well, I will see you guys next week!" Laughing, I asked "Hey, arent you going to listen to her heart beat?" He said "Oh yeah, of course! I cant believe I almost forgot." Well...he couldnt find her heart beat. I could feel the color drain from my face. He tried to stay reassuring, but took us to do an ultrasound. He scanned over her and when he got to her heart, I saw that it wasnt beating. My world came crashing down. We delivered our beautiful Mirayah Michelle July 5th at 1827. She was so absolutely perfect. We have no answers as to what happend. My OB cried during my delivery just stating that he had no idea why this happened and that I had a perfect pregnancy and she was absolutely perfect. She weighed 7lbs 10.5 oz and 20 inches long. She had blue eyes, brown/red hair and red eyelashes. She was...is... so beautfiul. During my csection and when she was born, the song that my husband and danced to at our wedding came on the radio that was playing in the OR. We like to believe Mirayah did that to remind us to lean on each other and keep our marriage strong.
I worked as a nurse in OB where I delivered, and quit in May to start my job in a higher level NICU in October. It hit the doctors and staff especially hard. They kept saying "It's hard when it happens, but its especially difficult when it's one of your own." I am glad we were surrounded by people who truly cared.
My husband and I decided to have her cremated and "she" finally came home last week. My husband and I have cremation pendant necklaces that hold a little bit of her ashes. It is comforting to know she is always with us. This is her main urn:
I miss her so much. This has been the most shattering, heart breaking, devastating expience I have ever been through. Not a moment goes by that I dont think of her. I cant stand to be in public. I cant look at pregnany women, and I cant look at babies. My sister and I were pregnant together and she had her son two weeks before I gave birth to Mirayah. We were supposed to have our babies grow up together..celebrate birthdays together. He will be a constant reminder of what we lost. I feel awful, but I cant help it. A grief counselor told me these were perfectly normal feelings.
My sister and I pregnant together. I am the dark haired one...
we were so excited to share this experience together.
Anyway, theres my story of my angel baby. Thanks for taking time to read and see her picture. Congratulations to you all for healthy babies. Hug them tight and love them.
the only family picture that will ever include "her"...
Here is the tattoo I got in her memory.

STANFORD, Calif.- It's been a busy start to the summer for Dwight Powell and Stefan Nastic, who are representing their respective countries during international competition.
Rosco Allen is scheduled to do the same, while Josh Huestis and Chasson Randle are bidding to make it a total of five Cardinal players in action at the international level this summer.
Here is a quick update on each:
- - - - - - - - - - -
Josh Huestis and Chasson Randle are among 27 players vying for 12 roster spots on the 2013 USA Basketball Men's World University Games Team, as training camp gets underway today at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Finalists for the team are expected to be announced this week and the 12-member roster will be announced prior to the team's departure for Russia on July 1. The 2013 World University Games (WUGs) men's basketball competition will be played July 7-16 in Kazan, Russia.
Huestis and Randle join Colorado's Spencer Dinwiddie as the three representatives from the Pac-12. Joining Huestis and Randle as teammates on the squad are Yogi Ferrell and Will Sheehey (Indiana), Devyn Marble and Aaron White (Iowa), Alex Kirk and Kendall Williams (New Mexico) and Eric Atkins and Jerian Grant (Notre Dame).
A two-time Pac-12 All-Defensive Team selection, Huestis developed into one of the conference's premier defensive performers, thanks in large part to his rebounding and shot-blocking prowess. Huestis averaged 10.5 points and a team-best 9.0 rebounds per game, doubling his production from the previous season and nearly becoming the first Cardinal player to average a double-double since Curtis Borchardt (16.9 ppg, 11.4 rpg) in 2001-02. A native of Great Falls, Mont., Huestis has totaled 121 career blocks, tied with Howard Wright (1985-89) for fifth in school history. He is on pace to break the school record of 167 established by Tim Young (1994-99). Starting all 34 games last year, Huestis' 111 offensive rebounds were the most for a Stanford player since Adam Keefe's 134 during the 1991-92 campaign.
Randle ranked second on the team last season in scoring (13.6 ppg) and assists (89), while leading the club in three-pointers (61) and steals (38). In addition to grabbing 2.9 rebounds per game, Randle was very effective from the foul line (91-116, 78.4 percent). Randle, who scored in double figures 27 times and tallied six 20-point games, shot 39.9 percent from three-point range overall and 47.3 percent in conference games. A native of Rock Island, Ill., Randle is a two-time USA Basketball gold medalist, having helped the USA to a 5-0 record at the inaugural 2009 FIBA Americas U16 Championship in Mendoza, Argentina, and an 8-0 record in the first FIBA U17 World Championship in 2010 in Hamburg, Germany.
The United States has claimed 19 medals in the World University Games since beginning play in 1965, and has captured 13 golds, three silvers and three bronze medals in the 20 WUGs in which a USA Basketball men's squad has competed. The USA men own a stellar 138-9 record in WUGs play, and the U.S. captured six of the first seven gold medals awarded in the WUGs basketball competition, including six consecutive gold medals from 1989 through 1999.

Dwight Powell recently wrapped up an impressive stretch, leading the Canadian Development Men's National Team (DMNT) to a sweep of the Four Nations' International Invitational Tournament played in three different cities in China.
Canada, which concluded the event with a 93-38 rout of Latvia, finished the 11-day competition with a 9-0 record while registering three victories apiece against United States, Latvia and host-nation China.
The next step for Powell and Canada will be participating in the 2013 World University Games (WUGs) men's basketball competition will be played July 7-16 in Kazan, Russia. That means a potential matchup against Huestis and Randle, should either player make the cut for Team USA.
Powell proved to be one of the tournament's most productive players, especially impressive considering Canada boasts a deep roster that also features Kentucky's Kyle Wiltjer, Gonzaga's Kevin Pangos and Baylor's Brady Heslip among others. Powell led Canada in scoring on four occasions, consistently reaching double-digits in scoring while notching a 15-point, 12-rebound effort in the final game of the tournament against Latvia.
The Toronto, Ontario, native is coming off a breakthrough season in which he showcased the type of dynamic all-around game everyone expected since arriving on The Farm. In addition to being honored as the Pac-12's Most Improved Player of the Year, Powell was also named a National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Second Team All-District selection. The only Pac-12 player ranked among the league's top-10 in both scoring and rebounding, Powell averaged a team-best 14.9 points while ranking second on the squad with 8.4 rebounds per game. In addition to compiling a team-best 10 double-doubles, he produced nine 20-point games while reaching double figures in 27 games overall. Powell's improvement was significant, averaging 5.8 points and 4.6 rebounds while scoring in double figures six times during the 2011-12 campaign.
Powell was equally impressive in the classroom, as he was the only player to earn a spot on both the Pac-12 All-Academic Team and All-Pac-12 First Team.
- - - - - - - - - - -
Rosco Allen has earned a spot on Hungary's roster for the U20 European Championship Division B, a 12-team tournament scheduled for July 12-21 in Pitesti, Romania.
Allen attended Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, Nevada, but was born in Budapest, Hungary and first arrived to the United States in sixth grade.
In his rookie season on The Farm, Allen participated in 33 games and made seven starts. Allen averaged 3.2 points and 2.1 rebounds per game while shooting 37-56 (66.1 percent) from the foul line. Against Lafayette on Dec. 29, Allen scored a season-high 11 points (5-8 FT) to go with four rebounds and three steals.
- - - - - - - - - - -
It's another summer of international playing experience for Stefan Nastic, who is back on the court once again after last year's experience gained at the FIBA U20 European Championship.
A dual citizen of Serbia and Canada, Nastic is currently competing as a member of the Serbian National Team in Mersin, Turkey, at the XVII Mediterranean Games, a multi-sport, 24-nation event similar to the Olympics. Up next for Nastic, who contributed 12 points and five rebounds in a recent victory over Italy, is Tuesday's final against host Turkey.A two-time Pac-12 All-Academic honoree, Nastic competed in 23 games last year with six starts while averaging 2.0 points and 1.9 rebounds per game. Nastic, who shot 74.2 percent from the foul line (23-31) in 2012-13, will enter next season having made 13 in a row from the charity stripe, the longest active free throw streak by any Stanford player.

I have a primary database in Amsterdam (AMDB), and a secondary in London (LNDB). I want to fail over from AMDB, to LNDB and then back again, without having to make another full backup (because the database is too large).
According to Changing Roles Betweeen Primary and Secondary Servers, and Failing Over to a Log Shipping Secondary this all looks possible. I've never done it before and I'm going to be doing it in production this weekend. (I'll be doing some test runs on non prod databases before hand.)
My question: Should I be doing anything else over and above the Microsoft documentation to ensure success? (I'm wondering if anyone else has some gotya's or extra steps they take.) I'm hoping for a reassuring answer such as "Yes this works every time we do it in production and it's cool" but will be very happy also with "No don't do that, make sure you do x/y/and z instead."
Edit: Please don't recommend I use Mirroring as the answer to this question - yes that's a great idea but it doesn't work for us because of licensing costs. We use standard edition (and this only supports Mirroring in synchronous mode). I would like to know if anyone has followed the steps in the MS documentation in prod or if there's a better alternative which an "experienced" dba would use.

Orlando Magic: Magic singer Gina Incandela future at Amway Arena uncertain
Has the Orlando Magic's young phenom national anthem singer, Gina Incandela, performed her last song at Amway Arena? Well, that is for the Magic to decide, starting tonight in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Gina Incandela, deemed the Magic's good luck charm girl, is slated to sing the national anthem at the first round of every home game in the 2010 NBA playoffs.
But judging by the Magic's long shot chances to win the series, it is quite possible Incandela's storied run at Amway Arena could be over. Either way, she has been a joy to watch and I'm sure she'll be booked for future performances at the new arena.
So what do you think, will the Magic pull out this series despite a 3-1 deficit to the Boston Celtics and survive to see little Gina sing again?

Elementary schools express interest in learning academies
Published: Friday, February 1, 2013 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 1, 2013 at 2:25 p.m.
Two Davidson County elementary schools have filed applications to initiate learning academies possibly for next school year.
The board of education will discuss on Monday Brier Creek and Tyro elementary schools wanting to create afterschool programs such as the ones at Northwest and Southwood elementary schools.
Northwest and Southwood were pilot schools this academic year after the board approved last year hosting its own afterschool programs. The purpose of the academies is to offer remediation for students with staff members, provide homework assistance by highly qualified employees and give educational game time for learning. Several hands-on activities and field trips are also part of the plan.
The board will approve two administrative appointments, see a presentation from West Davidson High's Academy of Pre-Engineering and Project Lead the Way and discuss middle school athletic fields. They will also make a revision to this year's calendar due to inclement weather and give an update on the 2013-14 school calendar.
The meeting will be at 7 p.m. at Davis-Townsend Elementary School at 975 Heath Church Road.

The University of New Haven last month opened its new Orange campus, set deep into the woods off a winding Derby Milford Road in what used to be Hubbell Inc headquarters.
With its 70,000 square feet of space, the building offered the University much needed expansion room. Yet the school is moving cautiously, bringing only carefully defined programs to the new campus.
The new Orange campus houses the School of Business, which includes the the MBA program, an Executive MBA and a sports management program.
Graduate classes are taking place here in the evening, with students arriving for classes after 4 p.m. until 9 p.m. A shuttle from the main campus in West Haven brings those who need transportation and takes them back at 10.
The University spent about $9 million to buy the property and to refurbish it for its own purposes, much of it donated by two alumni, Sam Bergami and Charlie Pompea. The only outside construction that needed to take place was for an 80-space parking lot to supplement the garage under the main part of the building.
Appointed in rich, warm colors, with movable furniture, the new classrooms represent state-of-the art 21st century learning environments.
"Each classroom is a smart classroom," said Elizabeth Davis, dean of the School of Business, when she showed her department's new classrooms to local reporters. "Each can be turned into a computer lab."
Flexibility is the name of the game. Currently there are six classrooms and six break-out rooms for small group sessions. The furniture throughout is on castors, making it easy to move around.
The classrooms all face out, with floor-to-ceiling windows allowing sweeping vistas on the 400 acre Hubbell Preserve, which has been renamed the Turkey Hill Preserve and belongs to the Town of Orange for passive recreation.
Carved out of the 400 acres were the 47 acres the university bought, with office buildings, two large ponds and sloping lawns toward the Merritt Parkway.
"It's a delightful place," Davis said. She saw deer and even a fox, yet it is only minutes away from urban centers.
Other than the woods the campus is surrounded by a residential area, which was one reason the university chose to put its graduate students here. "It seemed to be a good fit," said Provost Dan May during the tour.
The charm of the new campus is not only its natural setting, but the executive environment, which the university kept intact for the business students.
There is the Executive Board Room with its leather chairs, there is a soundproof "war room," with clocks showing the time in different parts of the world. The "war room" will be used for faculty meetings, May said.
The core of the Hubbell building, a square built around an open atrium, stems from the
1960s. It has two wings, one to the North, added in the 70s, the other to the South, added in the 1980s.
The south wing has been left essentially unchanged, so far, except for a cafeteria. This wing, too, is built around an atrium, but this one is a covered Green, with plants thriving under the skylight.
Future plans involve a conference center in that southern wing; also an auditorium with a capacity of about 90.
The campus will be used for retreats both for students and faculty. There are plans to build a ropes course – a popular learning tool to teach communication and interdependence in overcoming physical challenges.
When fully built out, the campus will support approximately 400 students on any given day, said Provost May. Currently there are some 120 students who attend classes. No dorms are envisioned for this site.
The new campus has "allowed an element of growth in our program," said Dean Davis. However, the philosophy is to stay a "small but premier" program. If their numbers were to change substantially, it would change the character of the school.
Instead, space is available for clubs and for small-group meetings on an as-needed basis.
"Right now it's a bit of a blank canvass," she said.

Douglas County is the fastest growing county in Colorado with new families pouring in every day to enjoy the laid back lifestyle, safe streets and top notch shopping and dining experiences. The bond issues haven't been well received but the library through several innovative programs and the generous support of patrons is opening three new libraries including one in the Town of Parker, City of Lone Tree and City of Castle Pines. The Douglas County Libraries named the architect for new libraries, Studiotrope Design Collective with Anderson Mason Dale Architects.
The Douglas County Libraries (DCL) Board of Trustees meeting, the board selected this firm to develop an architectural and design plan for several new libraries. The goal of No Leaf Unturned, the library building campaign announced in 2013, is to respond to the community's growth and demand for library spaces and services by building three new libraries within the county.
Studiotrope Design Collective and Anderson Mason Dale Architects are known for their innovative design, experience in building public facilities, and respect for community involvement.
"Studiotrope and AMD displayed what DCL is looking for in an architect group and partner," said library director and project manager Bob Pasicznyuk. "From innovative and creative design work, to their commitment to representing community heritage and involvement throughout this project's lifespan, we believe they will develop dynamic libraries for our community."
Douglas County Libraries is a passionate advocate for literacy and lifelong learning. For more information, visit DouglasCountyLibraries.org or NoLeafUnturned.org.
