Tim Sokoloff's vision involves the creation of a self-sustaining community in the very place where modern living began: the former Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. housing.
But funding — and a decent amount of it — is required for the Iron Soup Historical Preservation Co., which Sokoloff leads, to both preserve and revive the 179 remaining one- and two-bedroom, two-floor units built in 1918 to house steel-mill workers and their families.
"It's all about funding," he said, adding that Iron Soup's time line is based entirely on finances. "You can't do anything without it."
Previously, Iron Soup, which has federal and state nonprofit status, had existed solely on donations and fundraisers.
In May, though, the group received its first grant: the Mahoning River People's Garden Grant, which was awarded by the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp.
The $3,000 grant since has been used to fund Iron Soup's Watch Our Garden Grow project, which includes wind turbines, LED lighting, a 24-hour grow cam, and solar panels, Sokoloff said.
In addition, the garden itself, which is on Andrews and Delmar avenues, features an assortment of plants, such as broccoli, potatoes and watermelon. Neighboring structures, many of which show obvious signs of years of neglect, soon will be covered with morning glories, helping to hide the blight.
"We said, 'If you give us money, we can go above and beyond the call,'" he said, adding that, when possible, the grant money was spent locally. "The system here is special."
The system is unique, he said, because though the project requires a considerable amount of power, Iron Soup isn't "paying a dime" for it.
What is key is the combination of solar and wind power, which Sokoloff is hopeful will power the entire housing complex one day.
At one time, the complex, which consists of about 6 acres of concrete row houses and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, had approximately 350 residents, he said.
Its population, however, has since dropped to no more than 50, Sokoloff included, and the structures — which at one time "epitomized America's power in the world at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution" — have become run down.
Iron Soup and its mission, though, is "slowly but surely gaining momentum," he said.
"It's not like we're saying we have this magical dream of fairies and elves," Sokoloff said. "People will come to see a beautiful, historical site."
Liberty Merrill, Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp. senior program coordinator, said projects were chosen based on innovative design, community impact, project sustainability and potential for community environmental education.
Iron Soup's Watch Our Garden Grow project, Merrill said, was an especially strong candidate, since it had "a committed group of people already working on it."
"The Iron Soup project is pretty interesting and innovative," Merrill said. "The YNDC was glad to help out."
I think the only way,the only way,is if the kirwan projects are torn down. Why fund another drug infested area. People want to feel safe,plus,what are they going to do with the renters that are already there?
As an Iron Soup volunteer, and o lover of local history and architecture, i support anything that helps to sustain our Community Identity and heritage. The same people who rally around tearing these buildings down are some of the same who wanted to save the facade of The Paramount Theater. The difference is we can save these, create viable housing, with modernization at minimal cost versus razing the structures. As for the problem you speak of, when the apartments were occupied by families, there was a sense of community, and that's whats needed to stop drugs in our neighborhoods. Simply tearing down the low income housing wont eradicate a drug problem. A sense of civic responsibility will.
Of the remaining occupants, over half own their apartment units. As for feeling safe we are sure the security in our neighborhood is better than yours michael1757 as we currently have ten cameras monitoring our core area 24/7 and we are adding more this week also.
As for drugs my neighbor who rents off soup city properties LLC is a cab driver, quite, nice guy and his wife, great neighbors. They keep to themselves, walk their dog, go to work, take care of their kid. NORMAL FOLKS.
The retired guys up the street that still live here after years and years, like to drink beer and sit on their porch.
Our current tenant at Iron Soup is a lady that volunteers regularly for various churches, is quite, volunteers here, keeps her place nice, drinks a little on occasion and DOESN"T DO DRUGS AT ALL..
There are a few folks who live in the complex that probably indulge in Marijuana to some extent but it seems that most people could care less about it.
Be sure however that the days of selling crack on corners along with whatever other crazy drug is going around are over here at least for SURE in our area.
Between our staff and our cameras it is not the environment that those type of people seek to sell their wares..
Iron Soup, Soup City Properties, Bill Kish Rentals and M & M House Doctors have all formed an alliance and agreed to screen potential renters instead of just letting anyone move in.
We would rather have empty units than to just slap someone in that will bring back all the same old problems to our neighborhood.
So before you go running off at it, you should COME DOWN HERE and meet with us and the other owners, look around and get the facts as you certainly do not have a CLUE as to what you are talking about.
Many good, hard working, decent people are dedicated to this project including prominent business individuals, local companies, YSU staff, professors and supporters, The Ohio and National Historical Societies, local and state representatives and the list goes on and on.
Now do you really think that all those people would be on our side if they thought our goals were not realistic and achievable?
Again we site Roscoe Village Ohio, and Jarome Arizona as potential business models. Do some research on those sites and how they got started, then come back and see us.
Lastly do some research on Concrete City (Naticote Pennsylvania), and Cement City (Denorra Pennsylvania). Their information and history will give you a clue not only to the importance of saving this last remaining site, but some insight as to how monumentally difficult and expensive tearing it down would be.
America has such little history built up as we are such a young country, this incredible part of it MUST BE SAVED. That is the bottom line.
Do some homework, learn the facts, then draw our conclusions.
Other then that, have a great day.
Thank you for those facts ironsouphistorical. It would be wonderful to see more of Youngstown history preserved outside of downtown.
If Iron Soup can swing financing for this project from private sources, that's great. I don't think any tax dollars should be used, though. People should pay for their own hobbies.

I spent most of my formative years in rural Trumbull County, but my parents are from Youngstown. I have lived on the East side of Youngstown and now Campbell. In fact, I live one minute from the former YS & T Company homes. I have a M.A. in History with concentration in Museum Studies. I have a B.A. in History focusing on Historic Preservation. While I do not currently work in my field, I volunteer many hours to Iron Soup as both Board Secretary and a volunteer fundraiser coordinator. I have two positions and a fledgling business to attend to, as well as a husband and home.
If I didn't believe in what is possible in this neighborhood on both a professional and personal level, I wouldn't be volunteering what little time I have left over to the work being done at Iron Soup Historical Preservation Company. I visit Iron Soup frequently at all hours, even at night. If there is drug activity, I haven't witnessed it. It has also come to the point where people in the neighborhood wave and smile at me because they recognize me and what we are trying to do. It's important for residents to see "outsiders" who also believe in their neighborhood (even if I'm only little bit out of their area).
It's true that the company homes were a vibrant part of Campbell in the past, but that doesn't mean it can't be now or in the future. These buildings were built to last and are an integral part of our history. Rehabbing these company homes is about so much more than providing homes. What we are doing at Iron Soup is innovative. We are taking an endangered national historical site and making it green and self-sustaining. We are making it beautiful and livable again. We will bring in heritage tourism by working with other organizations in the area. We will bring in small businesses. We will provide jobs.
For me personally, it's about providing hope and believing in what this area can be once again. It's about rebuilding that sense of community and pride that people showed in that neighborhood. Most importantly, it's about celebrating and embracing our past while moving into the future. This is not my "hobby."
April Caruso-Richards, M.A., Board Secretary, ISHPC
@zz3 Iron Soup Historical will continue to do the work that is under our charge. We hope and pray those who are in charge of non profit organizations in those areas will do the same. Until then we will bloom where we are planted - Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company homes.

Kingfishers are one of Britain's most beautiful birds. They are renowned for the flash of blue that comes from their fluorescent plumage as they flash by at great speed and their incredible fishing skills. They are wonderfully entertaining. I have spent many pleasurable hours watching and photographing them, I think it can become quite irresistible. I hope these photographs enable you to share some of this enjoyment with me.

The Yen is showing a weakening trend against the U.S. Dollar which is causing online currency traders to seek higher yield investments. The Yen dropped 8 percent in price since August against other counterpart monetary units. Analysts believe the Yen's currency rates may reach 86 per dollar by the end of the second quarter. This year the carry trades have reversed; in 2011 they'll use the yen and make 23.8 percent compared to the mere 2.8 percent gained with dollar-based trades.
The U.S. market remained closed yesterday in observance of President's Day. However, the greenback reached 94.78 Swiss centimes during the London session. The American currency may regain some of last week's losses against the Swiss Franc according to Commerzbank AG day trading strategists.
Furthermore, the U.S. Dollar began the week on a strong note against most of its counterparts as the situation in North Africa reached new levels of instability. During the European session, the greenback rose against the Euro reaching $1.3654. News out of Germany indicated that the Business Climate Index increased, and certainly more than economists expected for the month of February. Other announcements revealed that the Euro zone's services and manufacturing sectors advanced as well.
The U.S. currency rallied against the British Pound with the GBP/USD trading at $1.6229. However, the American greenback diminished in price against the Canadian Dollar due to increased oil prices. The value of the U.S. Dollar is being influenced by the rise in tensions in the Middle East.

It looks like there are preliminary plans to resurrect the WWE No Way Out pay-per-view.
The newly-designed WWE website lists No Way Out under "shows" after Money in the Bank but before SummerSlam. This would make it WWE's July pay-per-view that was listed as "to be determined."
At this point nothing is confirmed but you can view the listing for yourself at the newly-designed dot com.
No Way Out in February 1999 and 200-2009 but was replaced in 2010 by Elimination Chamber.

Tom Selleck, the ruggedly handsome actor from Detroit, MI. who currently plays NYPD Police Commissioner Frank Reagan in the popular CBS crime drama series "Blue Bloods," has a relationship with that network which has lasted a long time. Selleck's acting career in both television and movies spans over 40 years and continues to be strong.
Selleck's past roles on television have been on NBC (in a recurring role in the 70s in the crime drama "The Rockford Files)," in the popular comedy series "Friends" (still in syndication) playing Dr. Richard Burke as Monica's boyfriend (Monica was played by actress Courteney Cox) in the 90s, and as A.J. Cooper in the comedy-drama series "Las Vegas" from 2003 to 2008.
His most memorable role is the character of Thomas Magnum in the crime drama series "Magnum, P.I.," where Selleck plays a private investigator living in Hawaii. The CBS program ran for eight seasons (1980-1988) and earned him a Golden Globe, People's Choice and Emmy awards. His handsome looks, along with his Detroit Tigers baseball cap and red Ferrari, made him popular with the television audience. Magnum P.I. can still be seen on the pay movie channel Encore Classic.
Selleck has also made television movies on CBS based on the character "Jesse Stone." Stone, a police chief in a small town north of Boston, was a homicide detective in Los Angeles but resigned his job due to drinking and dealing with his divorce. But he continues his skill in investigating murders while fighting his own demons and trying to get his troubled life together. He often talks to his dog for comfort.
The Jesse Stone mystery series is from the detective novels by Robert B. Parker. CBS has shown eight Jesse Stone television movies; the first premiered in 2005 called "Stone Cold." The last one in 2012 was "Jesse Stone: Benefit of the Doubt."
For now Selleck is continuing his Blue Bloods series, now in its fourth season which airs Friday nights at 10/9c. The police commissioner and widower with three adult children have all the protection they need since his children are affiliated in police work in some capacity. Two of his sons are New York detectives while his daughter is an assistant district attorney in Manhattan. The Reagan family are in jobs together, dine together (which is considered a ritual), and stay tightly knit with each other in the criminal debacles they face. The family is played by actors Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes and Len Cariou.
Selleck's talent in acting also includes films such as High Road to China (1983), Three Men and a Baby (1987), Quigley Down Under (1990), and Mr. Baseball (1992).
Selleck has appeared on a number of programs talking about the character he portrays on Blue Bloods. In June 2011 on PBS' program "Tavis Smiley," he told the host that Blue Bloods was a family-oriented show and that the Reagan family best present themselves through their dinner sessions and reveal what they're going through. On the CBS program "The Talk" in May 2012 Selleck was the perfect gentleman; sitting each one of the co-hosts who were all swooning, in which Julie Chen gushed, "You have this commanding presence about you." In April 2013 on "The View" Selleck discussed Blue Bloods and gave accolades to his colleagues; stating they were good people and fine actors to work with.
Other projects Selleck has done is becoming the National Spokesman for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (www.vvmf.org) on the National Mall in 2009 and narrating seven episodes of the nature series "North America" on the Discovery Channel in 2013.

The Seward County volleyball program comes into this season led by 5 returning players off a 36 win team from last season. The 36 wins was the most since 2002 when the Lady Saints finished 6th in the NJCAA National Tournament. Three of those five returners, Lindsey Miller, LaKendra Sanders, and Amanda Savage, come back as sophomores with All-Region accolades after stellar freshman campaigns.
Again this season, the Jayhawk West will see a number of teams vying for the right to go to the NJCAA National Tournament. Last year's tournament champion Hutchinson returns just one player with significant experience but has six players coming back off of last year's team and a strong recruiting class to try and keep them on top. Upstart Pratt comes off their best season in recent years with Jayhawk Freshman of the Year Katerin Trejos and All-Region setter Juliana Chavez returning to the mix. Barton County is just two years off a trip to the National Tournament and should be much improved from last year's 4-8 squad. Dodge City, Colby, and Garden City round out the remainder of the West and should all be talented enough to throw a wrench in the top of the standings as the season moves along. This seasons schedule will see 14 less regular season matches for the Lady Saints, something that Head Coach Bert Luallen hopes will keep his team fresher come tournament time. Along with the always tough Jayhawk West teams on the slate, the Lady Saints will travel back to Lamar to defend their opening weekend tournament title before heading to El Reno, Oklahoma for the Redlands Labor Day Classic. Seward County will travel to Sterling, Colorado for the Northeastern Tournament in mid-September and then host the Ozfest Invitational presented by Landmark Real Estate Center the second weekend of October when Western Nebraska, Redlands, Midland, and Arizona Western will invade the Greenhouse. They will finish their tournament schedule with a trip to Missouri-West Plains where they will go toe to toe with some of the nation's best. After finishing up their conference schedule they will see a change in scenery for the conference tournament that will be played in Dodge City this season rather than the usual site in the Sports Arena in Hutchinson.
Hard work and countless hours in high school gyms around the region netted the Seward County program 6 solid recruits and a reigning All-American JC transfer that should help them contend for a conference title this season. Three middle hitters, three outside hitters, and a setter make up Bert Luallen's 2009 incoming class that should be fun to watch during their stay here in Liberal.
Taryn Westerman (Liberal, Kansas) will be at the center of the Lady Saints offense this season as she returns with a wealth of experience after playing in 157 games as a freshman last season. She racked up nearly 500 assists and led Seward County regulars with a .286 hitting percentage and 192 kills in 2008. Maddy Taylor (Denton, Texas) comes in with high expectations from coach Bert Luallen as he plans on using the freshman right away in the middle of his 6-2 offense.
Coach Luallen on his setters, "For our team to step up and get to the next level, our setters are going to have to come up big and lead us. They are going to have to outwork and out think everyone else on the floor. Such a mental position, the setters have to be three plays ahead, yet focused on the task at hand. Taryn knows our offense and returning hitters which will help a great deal and Maddy is a very accomplished player who has played high school and club ball at a very high level. Her demeanor on the court should help her succeed against the competition we will see throughout the year."
Usually when you lose an All-American at a certain position you look for the next year to be a little short in that spot. However, with the return of 2nd team All-Region player Lindsey Miller (Dumas, Texas) and the transfer of Honorable Mention All-American Diana Castrillon (Segovia, Columbia) the Lady Saints shouldn't miss a beat. The pair of sophomores will be joined by Kelen Ricardo (Sao Paulo, Brazil) and Stacie Carver (Holliday, Texas) which should give Seward one of the strongest attacks in the league on the outside. This group has high expectations being that 11 All-Americans have come out of Seward County in the past 12 seasons, all of which have been outside hitters.
Coach Luallen on his outside hitters, "This is typically the go-to position on the volleyball court. We have four young ladies who are all very capable of getting the job done. Lindsey returns after being a solid #2 hitter last season and gained a lot of experience. She improved even more on that in the spring so we are excited to see what she can do this season. We are really excited to see how the three newcomers perform when we hit the court. Kelen, Diana, and Stacie each have a lot of offer. Diana is an All-American transfer from Miami-Dade and will be very solid. Stacie has more size and can give us a better block on that side and will have a chance to play in the middle as well. Kelen, I believe, could be another Luana Cavalcanti (2004 All-American), we'll see!
LaKendra Sanders (Lewisville, Texas) will anchor the middle for the Lady Saints in 2009 after a very promising freshman campaign where she was named to the All-Region team racking up 375 kills and 181 blocks. She will be joined by newcomers Stacie Carver and Sheina Fernandes (Porto Alegre, Brazil) who bring versatility and a new dimension to the Lady Saints game.
Coach Luallen on his middles, "This position is very important to our team both offensively and defensively. Lala (Sanders) had a great year last season and we are excited to see her back on the court with another year of experience under her belt. Stacie and Sheina have different styles but both are very effective at what they do. I'd like to see more aggression on the defensive side out of this position this season."
Seward County brings back arguably the best libero in the conference this season in Amanda Savage (Wichita, Kansas) after she was the lone player at that position to be chosen on either All-Region team in 2008. She is joined by Adriann D'Amico (Piedmont, Missouri) who saw action in 62 games during her first season with the Lady Saints last year.
Coach Luallen on his libero/ds's, "I'm an old school guy. I believe defense is what wins championships. That's why this position is so crucial to our success. For every dig our team gets, that's a point the other team doesn't score and it gives us the potential to turn around and score; resulting in a two-point swing. This is an area that we work on every day. We have two really good passers that can help turn a match around."
Seward County will rely on four different players seeing time on the right-side this season, all of which bring different attributes to the table for coach Bert Luallen. Along with her setting duties the Lady Saints will sometimes look to Taryn Westerman to slide to the right-side for a key block or attack. Lexie Baldwin (Wichita, Kansas) is the Lady Saints tallest player at 6'2 and will be a tough player to hit over during the year. Katie Thomas (Mountain Home, Arkansas) brings a tall athletic body into the mix and will provide some versatility for the gals in green this season. After a promising pre-season, Luallen will also likely call on the talents of Kelen Ricardo to move from the outside to the right-side this season.
Coach Luallen on his right-side hitters, "This position is a key element to our defense as it 'sets' the block. I'm confident in the four young ladies we have for this position. They have a strong desire to excel and they have the size and skills that it takes to be effective. If they improve and perform to the level we would like to see out of this position, we will be a very strong defensive team this season."

If you woke up this morning with an influx of Jay Z and Beyonce MEMES on your Social Media pages, you may have the 2014 BET Awards to thank for that. In this year's opening credit powerfully read by Hip Hop royalty and Announcer, MC Lyte, you were told that artistes such as Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Trey Songz, Lil' Wayne, Iggy Azalea, T.I and the big two...Jay Z & Beyonce would be performing. The Staples Center Auditorium in Los Angeles was the backdrop for the 2014 BET Awards and when the Hip Hop power couple's name was called by the emcee, the venue erupted in loud cheers and applause and my good sense tells me that many living rooms were also in accordance. What was slated to be a three and a half hour show was four hours in length with a few good performances from consistent key players like Chris Brown, Usher, Yolanda Adams, Lionel Richie, a lifetime Achievement honoree and R & B crooner John Legend. A few black hollywood A-Listers including Kerry Washington, Gabrielle Union and Kevin Hart presented statues and veteran Comedian Chris Rock returned to main stage as this year's host.
Minus a few ill-prepared speeches, blurred lines' and intentional wardrobe malfunctions or style as some sees it, nothing made the 2014 BET Awards the worst Award show of 2014 than the big let down that was the so-called closing performance of Jay Z and Beyonce. If viewers wanted to see Beyonce gyrate her post-baby figure on a riding bull or dance prop and Jigger' (Jay Z) spit' on a mike dripping in sweat, they could have simply Youtubed' their last 'On The Run performance' the night before. In fact, some videos on Social Media had far better quality that the crap that was shown to millions of viewers. If BET thought that they ended the Awards Show with a bang, they are probably right! A bang that will he heard around the world for many days to come and a bang that should leave Debra Lee counting her days at the network. Black Television deserves better than this.

The dark chocolate toffee is awesome - I order it as gifts. I'm not a fan of dark chocolate on its own, but it's not overwhelming here. When eating plain chocolate, I prefer milk chocolate, but here, the milk chocolate was perhaps too sweet or overwhelmed by the toffee. Go with dark!
AMAZING! One of my favorite's next to Milk Chocolate Toffee! love it

A south Walton County man is in jail this evening after a 9 hour long stand off with sheriff's deputies which started just after midnight Thanksgiving morning.
23 year old Mark Carter of Santa Rosa Beach was reported by his roommate to be holding a gun and making suicidal threats. The Sheriff's SWAT team was sent to the home at 235 West Wild Briar Road in Santa Rosa Beach. During the multi-hour standoff, Carter held a firearm to his head and refused to vacate the residence.
Deputies spent nine hours attempting to persuade Carter to surrender. SWAT team members used flash bangs and other less-lethal equipment and techniques to pressure him outside and out of harms way. Carter was apprehended shortly after 9 a.m
The South Walton Fire District medically evaluated Carter on-scene and the WCSO transported him to and area hospital for psychological evaluation

Awards season is now in full swing with this morning's announcement of the Oscar nominations, and tonight Supernatural fans had their share of eye candy at the Critics' Choice Awards. Just in from Vancouver where CW's hit show Supernatural is filmed, Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki lit up the red carpet and the stage when they presented the award for Best Animated Feature to the film Frozen. Host Aisha Tyler introduced them with a mention of wanting their "clothes off only for the artistic integrity of her film," our boys walked out in classy black tuxes, much to the delight of Supernatural fans worldwide. Out of character for Jensen and Jared they seemed a bit too serious when they made their presentation of the award. Yet again, the two over six foot tall studs commanded the stage.
Stunning in a long bright blue dress, Danneel Ackles was at her husband's side as they arrived on the red carpet. Obviously missing was Jared's wife, Genevieve Padalecki, who was no doubt at home with their brand new baby son. Just born on Dec 22, Jared has kept his avid fans waiting since then to disclose the name of baby number two. Going strong in its ninth season, Supernatural returned after a long hiatus this past Tuesday to ratings better than they've seen in years. With rumors of an early renewal announcement in the works, fans have a lot to look forward to.

We couldn't think of a better way to battle the in-between spring weather than by wearing this Zara Coat With Pockets ($159). All right, so it doesn't have a hood and it's not water-resistant, so you won't want to go wearing it during the drizzle, but it is a beautiful shade of sunny, and it's lightly lined to keep the breezes at bay. That's a fair tradeoff - just keep your umbrella close by.

Sitting as a celebrity judge on Sunday night's 2015 Miss Universe beauty pageant in Miami, world-renowned Filipino, Christian boxer and politician Manny Pacquiao asked Miss USA what she would say if she was given the opportunity to speak with "global terrorists."
As the final five contestants in the pageant were tasked with answering a question from a celebrity judge, whose name they picked randomly out of a hat, Miss USA, Nia Sanchez, went first and selected Pacquiao's name from the hat.
Most questions at beauty pageants ask what contestants think about world hunger, education and other pressing humanitarian issues, and in that vein, Pacquiao questioned Miss USA on one of the biggest underlying global threats to civil society. more >>
With Islamic extremist attacks seemingly happening throughout the world on a regular basis, the president of Egypt, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, delivered a groundbreaking New Year's Day speech at the highly-prestigious, 1000-year-old Al-Azhar University and urged Muslim imams to change radical rhetoric and lead a "religious revolution" that embraces peace.
With extremists groups like the Islamic State, Boko Haram, and Al Qaeda killing thousands of innocent people in addition to the increase of radical attacks in other parts of the world, most in the international community no longer view Islam as "religion of peace," al-Sisi stated.
"Is it possible that 1.6 billion [Muslims] should want to kill the rest of the world's inhabitants – that is 7 billion—so that they themselves may live? Impossible!" al-Sisi asserted. "I say and repeat again that we are in need of a religious revolution. You, imams, are responsible before Allah. The entire world, I say it again, the entire world is waiting for your next move… because this umma [international Muslim community] is being torn, it is being destroyed, it is being lost – and it is being lost by our own hands." more >>
Although nothing is known about Santa Claus' true political preferences, two Washington Post reporters surveyed prominent politicians, political consultants and lobbyists from both sides of the isle about where they think Santa falls on the political spectrum.
As one might imagine, the results were split between the two major political parties with one respondent saying that he thought Santa is an independent.
Newt Gingrich, the 71-year-old former Republican Speaker of the House and former Representative from Georgia, gave a somewhat predictable answer claiming that Kris Kringle is obviously a Republican. more >>
Taxi drivers working in the small Filipino tourist island city of Tagbilaran are required by law to have a Bible verse painted on the back of their three-wheeled motorcycle cabs, and any driver that is caught without a scripture is liable to be fined or have their license revoked.
CBN News reports that in an attempt to reduce crime rate in the island of Bohol's provincial capital city, the Bohol provincial government passed into law, over 22 years ago, the requirement for drivers of the city's most efficient mode of public transportation, three-wheeled motorized tricycle taxis that seat as many as four to seven riders, to have scripture verses on the back.
Although the Tagbilaran City Hall only gives out 3,000 commercial tricycle licenses every year, the government requires each driver to have a scripture verse that is completely their own and one that is not being used by any other tricycles operating in the city. more >>
As protests continue in Berkeley, California, reports of police action and possible offenses have come to light. One of those allegedly injured by police includes intern minister Cindy Pincus, who showed she had a split head after being hit by a police baton.
"The police began walking forward and in 2-3 seconds were pressed up against us with their batons held parallel between them and us," Pincus told the Berkeley Side. "I shouted, 'Be calm, be calm, we're peaceful!' And they kept walking forward. I looked to the left and a police officer had begun jabbing a protestor with the end of his baton. I turned around to retreat and passed a woman who had fallen and was being trampled. I bent down to pick her up under one armpit while another woman grabbed her other arm."
"As we were lifting her backwards I saw an officer raise his baton over my shoulder and was struck on the back of the head as I was bent forward. My vision momentarily blacked out and I saw stars. I put my hand to the back of my head and started running. I felt a welt rise immediately and blood ran down my neck and covered my hand," Pincus added. more >>
For some Native Americans, Thanksgiving is a time of mourning, for the meeting between the pilgrims and the Wampanoag began a series of events that led to many tribes being wiped out. But for one Native American pastor, the observance is not a source of historical mourning or regret, rather he celebrated the occasion since a youth growing up on a Virginia reservation.
Ernest Custalow, pastor at Grace Church of Fredericksburg, told The Christian Post that he recalled celebrating Thanksgiving as a child on the Mattiponi reservation. Part of this tradition involved providing a deer and a turkey to officially give to the governor of Virginia to pay their state taxes, a custom that remains to the modern day.
"The way we paid taxes was to kill a deer and turkey to give to the governor of Virginia. We still do that," said Custalow, adding that, "I grew up hunting for the governor." more >>

After more than a year in development, the Shannon Brewing Company is in the final stages of preparation for the upcoming debut of the brewery in Keller. Coming off a soft-opening this past weekend, founder Shannon Carter and crew will spend the next couple of weeks refining things in terms of how they'll run the taproom and tours leading up to the official unveiling.
Construction began on the 6500 square foot structure housing the brewery back in January, with subsequent delivery of the brewhouse occurring in April. As has been mentioned here before, the 20-barrel system utilizes a direct-fire brew kettle and mash tun designed to follow an Old World process dating back the 1860s employed by Carter's great-grandfather in Ireland. With it, Carter will brew double batches in order to fill a set of 40-barrel fermenters which round out the set up. For more details on the history behind his approach and a complete overview of the brewing process see the brewery's website: http://shannonbrewing.com/fire-brewed.
The building itself sits on a sizable 3-acre tract of land, which is part of a larger expanse the brewery shares with the Samantha Springs Bottling Company. Water from the springs will be fed directly into the brewhouse, and will remain untreated for use in all but one of the brewery's beers. Carter says the lone exception will be Shannon Chocolate Stout, for which he'll make a slight adjustment to enhance the flavor profile of that particular beer.
Regarding the overall space, Carter would seem to have more room to work with than any other brewery in the immediate Dallas/Fort Worth area. In addition to a climate-controlled indoor taproom, featuring a bar constructed from reclaimed materials, he's built an outdoor beer garden adjacent to the main building. This is surrounded by a planter that will be used to grow hops on site come springtime, which will be irrigated by harvested rain water collected by a tank stationed nearby. Remaining outdoor space will provide ample parking for now, but it could be used for further build-outs should production needs dictate such a move in the future. Carter also envisions hosting festivals and other large-scale events to take further advantage of the size of the property.
The brewery will open with five beers in production, with seasonals to follow. Beyond the stout and his flagship Pale Ale, Carter will brew an Irish Red, an All American Blonde and an IPA. All are expected to be available on opening day, and since the brewery will be operating under a brewpub license, packaged products will be offered for visitors to take home. Carter has acquired a 4-head bottler which he'll use to fill 22-ounce bombers for sale in the taproom. These, along with kegged beers, will also be distributed to draft and retail accounts within limits set by the TABC for this type of operation.
Initial plans call for the brewery to be accessible during taproom hours on Thursdays and Fridays, with the open house/tour model being implemented on Saturdays. Carter also intends on making the brewery available for rentals. Taproom amenities are expected to include widescreen TVs and free Wi-Fi connectivity. Food trucks will be on hand for tours, while catering from off-site restaurants can be arranged for private events.
As for the aforementioned debut, a Grand Opening celebration will be held on Saturday, September 20. Running from 12 to 4 p.m., the cost for the event will be $10 per person, which includes three pints and souvenir glassware. Other opportunities to sample Shannon beers will come with your admission to either of two upcoming festivals. The brewery will be pouring at the Dallas Observer Brewfest on September 13, as well as at the Texas Craft Brewers Festival in Austin on September 27.

Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Three University of California, Davis (UC-Davis) researchers won a $3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to study ganaxolone, Marinus Pharmaceuticals' lead candidate, which is being studies as a treatment for fragile X syndrome (FXS).
Ganaxolone is a synthetic neurosteroid and a derivative of the naturally occurring neuromodulator allopregnanolone. It modulates GABA-A ion channels by selective binding to the neurosteroid receptor. Early research suggests that normalizing neurosteroid levels with ganaxolone treatment may eliminate the behavioral symptoms associated with FXS, the leading cause of inherited mental disability and the most common single-gene cause of autism, according to the scientists.
The three researchers who won the grant were Randi Hagerman, M.D., medical director of UC-Davis' MIND Institute and a researcher specializing in neurodevelopmental disorders and fragile X-related disorders; psychophysiologist David Hessl, Ph.D.; and epilepsy researcher Michael Rogawski, M.D., Ph.D.
"Over the next few months, we will work with UC-Davis to provide ganaxolone for the FXS study and work on obtaining regulatory approval from the Food and Drug Administration to allow the researchers to conduct this study under Marinus' investigational new drug application," says Kenneth Shaw, Ph.D., svp, R&D at Marinus.
Ganaxolone has been administered to more than 950 volunteers in Phase I and Phase II studies. Completed mid-stage epilepsy trials have generated data supportive of the efficacy and safety of ganaxolone in the treatment of both children and adults suffering from refractory epilepsy, namely patients who continue to have seizures despite taking multiple anticonvulsant drugs, according to according to Marinus.
The firm hopes to bring ganaxolone to market for the treatment of not only FXS and epilepsy but posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as well. A clinical trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of ganaxolone in PTSD patients is under way. That study is being conducted by the INTRuST (injury and traumatic stress) consortium and is funded by the defense department, with results expected in 2012.

A 1959 Jazz Playlist
As regular site visitors know, we occasionally feature a batch of track reviews in this columnŚhighlighting a few of the more than 5,000 jazz performances covered by jazz.comÆs crack team of more than fifty critics and guest reviewers.
Today we focus on tracks recorded in 1959.
1959 has come to be viewed by many as the peak year in a jazz golden age, due both to the sheer number of classic albums recorded during that 12 month stretch, and the creative ferment on the scene. Modal jazz and free jazz were literally brand new, while hard bop, soul jazz, Third Stream and other styles were still in their peak years. New releases were constantly breaking new ground, and if you didnÆt pay attention to the latest music, you were out-of-date within a few months.
We canÆt cover the full range of jazz from 1959 in a short playlistŚFernando Ortiz de Urbina tells me that Downbeat received 500 albums to review from 65 labels in that year. But the list below, in chronological order, covers a least one session from each month, and highlights both familiar tracks and some you may not have heard before.
Each title is linked to a review and a link for (legal) downloading.
Happy listening!

Still Not A Brake Burner Report
n-duro summer cup series final - by annika smail
the course was great and again different to the last two events, which makes for more interesting racing and riding. there were a few nice climbs in it and some cool downhill single trails were waiting as little treats at the top of the climbs ;)
we had quite a bit of rain on friday and a few more showers on saturday and over night to sunday but race day was dry, very lucky! a few of the trails were puddly but it wasn't too bad at all. i was riding most of the race by myself which was a bit odd and i kept thinking i might have gotten lost, but i hadn't. maybe i should have pushed a bit harder but there wasn't any urgency.
i won my race and the series, very happy about that.
the boy's had a great tight race where Mike Northcoat, Clinton Avery and Cabin Lieshman battled it out for 1rst to 3rd.
what's so great about these races is the socializing before and after the race (and on the occasion while racing ;) ), there are so many familiar faces hanging about keen for a chat and to have a laugh. good times :)
sorry no pics again! :(

Dirk Peter's Nduro Round 2 and Ozzie National Champs report
But within a couple of days of being back from racing in Australia, the organizers of the Nduro summer series had been in touch to see about my availability to compete in today's race. There had been a bit of interest from other competitors as to whether I'd likely be racing. The 1st race in the series had a tight finish between 1st & 2nd place with other place getter's not too far behind. So I decided to give it a crack.
The weather in Rotorua today was fine & hot with tracks in mint condition. The race pace was very fast, and early on I got away with a small bunch of riders. This was a point to point race, so I was wary about not letting anyone get out of sight if I could help it. It was also my intention to be patient & see how the front end of the field sorted itself out. At the start of the first major climb up direct road myself, Cabin & Stu picked up the pace & separated from the chasers. We held this to the top of Frontal Lobotomy where Stu had gear cable problems & was dropped.
Later in the race I got through to the lead & and went as hard as I could through Spring Roll to open up the gap. I was then able to consolidate that lead through to the finish. So I am pretty satisfied with the result.
My preparation for this race had been very good with the North Is XC cup series behind me and feeling strong & ready to give this event a good go. As I'd expected the NZ U19 riders were all at the back of the start grid in a line up of 33 riders. This didn't worry me too much as I'd raced on the Stromlo track last year & was comfortable with things.
After the gun the pace was on as we were running on a hot mix tar seal surface for the first 300 meters & then onto a hard smooth fire road climb for the first 1km.I had got up into 2nd position by the time we hit the first single track which was a technical rocky climb of about 0.5 km. During this stage I took the race lead & started opening a gap on the leading Aussie rider, who seemed to be struggling with the technical parts of the course. Very soon after opening up a handy gap I punctured. Got going again but then had to start climbing back through the field.
I had a really fast second lap (the fasted recorded lap of the race) & then to my horror I shredded a tyre on the 3rd lap with a long way to run to the tech zone. Put a new wheel set up on & then finished the race. I ended up in 17th place, which was really disappointing as I felt I was ready to give this one a real good go.
I'm still pleased to have got another race in on this track, as it is being used for the world champs later this year. But I'll be using heavier duty tyres next time.

race #2 n-duro summer cup - by annika smail
the second round of n-duro summer series was held on sunday in stunning summer weather conditions, yeah it was slightly hot but we don't want to complain about a sunny day ;). the course was awesome, loads of single trail and a good mix of core network trails and newer trails. it's great to do some of the old trails in a race as i don't seem to ride them any other time, even though they are great fun too.
the field seemed bigger this time round, i guess because the race didn't clash with too many other events.
i had a pretty average race as i couldn't get my legs going and it took me about an hour to warm up. oh well, can't feel good every time ;) and it might pay to give the body some recovery time to freshen up before a race. i do actually know this, but the weather has been too good not to ride or run ;).
i did win the women's category though and am therefore still leading the series. next and last race is in 3 weeks. looking forward to it and will try to be more rested for that one.

When money is tight, some may think that cutting preventive maintenance is the best option. Before taking that approach, let's have a good understanding of the role and function of maintenance and where it fits within an organization.DIVISION OF RESPONSIBILITIES
The typical organization divides responsibilities into three groups:
- Management.
- Production and operations.
- Maintenance.
Management possesses the business "vision" and is responsible for explaining this vision to the rest of the organization.
Our vision has four goals:
Produce a product or service (make "dirty" things "clean").
- Produce a quality product (keep customers happy).
- Stop losses, including energy, defects and deviation (lower operating costs to increase profits).
- Continuously improve and optimize the process, quality, equipment and people (survive against competition).
Management monitors business conditions to provide warnings of change in performance or condition to minimize impact. Management determines what changes are needed and through its support, or lack of, which changes become the next "program of the year."
Production and operations determine in what condition to operate the equipment (factory-new or to run the machines to destruction). Production and operations determine when to schedule shutdowns for overhaul and refurbishing the equipment.
Maintenance is responsible for supporting production. Core functions include: design, construct, install, maintain, modify, and modernize all equipment and physical facility assets.
Another maintenance responsibility is to keep the utilities (the lifeblood of the facility) flowing.
Utilities can be divided into those internally or externally produced. External providers bring electricity, gas, water, phone, Internet, sewage, and waste disposal to our doorstep using "high reliability" equipment, procedures, and qualified personnel.
Maintenance operates and maintains the in-house equipment to generate internal utilities such as: hot water; tempered water; water softening; wastewater treatment; steam; compressed air; heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC); chemicals; security; and fire protection. Additionally, maintenance may be involved with the IT network in maintaining mission-critical programmed data, passwords, and program keys.
Beyond the utilities, production equipment must be kept running. The skill set needed can range from maintaining basic mechanical drives to highly technical computer-networked control systems with electronic feedback.
Finding and hiring skilled maintenance personnel is difficult, and most plants don't have a fully skilled maintenance workforce. Most repetitive equipment problems are a direct result of skill deficiencies—20% of equipment can cause 80% of problems. The true cost of these recurring problems can be staggering.
Training can overcome skill deficiencies. When some ask, "What if we train them and they leave?" I ask, "What if you don't and they stay?"
Training keeps people from becoming frustrated and stressed when they don't know the proper way to do a specific task. A person who feels competent is a better worker and is easily motivated.
Training also helps identify which failures are caused by:
Equipment design;
- Equipment condition;
- Poor operating practices;
- Poor maintenance practices; and
- Lack of training.
An indication of management's commitment to improvement and employee development with "pay now or pay later" consequences is the annual number of training days per maintenance craftsperson that aren't mandatory or regulatory. What percentages of payroll dollars are budgeted for training?LIFETIME EQUIPMENT COSTS
Lifetime equipment costs are more than just the purchase price, shipping and installation. During difficult economic times, refurbishing a piece of machinery may make more sense than purchasing replacement equipment.
The lowest purchase price is not always the best choice. Consider the energy costs and efficiency of an air compressor. Three-quarters of the lifetime equipment cost is electricity, and the other 25% is split between the purchase price and maintenance costs. The higher initial purchase price of a more energy-efficient model can lead to significantly lower lifetime equipment costs.
Additional lifetime equipment costs to consider are startup, maintenance, serviceability, user training, upgrades, and decommissioning.PRIOR PROPER PLANNING PREVENTS POOR PERFORMANCE
Successful maintenance work management relies on six P's: Prior Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance.
Keys to effective work and labor management include:
Key Performance Indicators.
- Weekly plan.
- Daily schedule.
- Work orders.
- Written procedures.
Key Performance Indicators — KPI are the gathered facts, reports and numbers that give us "useful" information regarding the condition of the business. You can't manage what you don't measure, so whether you generate daily, weekly or monthly reports, you need a sense of the past and present to be able to plan for the future.
A quick quality-check KPI is as simple as using our senses of smell, sight and touch with the finished product. Take a good whiff of the linen. Take a look at the whites, or are they gray? Wrinkled? Is the feel soft or harsh? What will your customer think?
A KPI of maintenance labor and work management is a visit to the maintenance shop on Monday morning. Is the worktable clean? Are the tools put away? Is the floor swept and clean? Is the trash can empty? The overall condition of the plant and the machinery is generally in similar condition.Weekly Plan — Answering "No" to all of the above may also indicate that there is no weekly plan, no list of priorities to work on (a joint maintenance and production list).Daily Schedule — The daily schedule is reactive maintenance. Work orders are defined as the intercom paging system. And the manuals for the equipment are incomplete or missing. This is bad.Work Orders — Work orders allow prioritizing and scheduling. There should be a plan for the materials, equipment, people and environment needed to implement the actions, evaluate the results, and improve the process for the future.
Work orders also track equipment history and should include: equipment identification, date, time, and downtime. Some questions to answer include: What component failed? What was the cause of failure? Was the problem resolved? Could the failure have been prevented?Written Procedures — Written procedures describe the best way to perform a known task. They also ease the transition when personnel are absent for reasons such as new employment, vacation, illness, personal time, etc.
Written procedures can include the steps required to open the facility and safely turn on all the internal utilities needed for production. Equally important are the proper order and procedures to safely shut down the equipment and utilities, and lock up the facility. Written procedures can be used at the machine level to describe how to perform specific tasks and how to operate the machinery.MAINTENANCE CATEGORIES
Maintenance tasks fit into three general categories: reactive, preventive (PM), and predictive (PdM).
The main question is whether maintenance is planned or unplanned. Unplanned maintenance is the most expensive type of maintenance and upsets production.Reactive Maintenance — This can be described as breakdown- or emergency-corrective. There is a problem with quality, production has slowed, or, worse, stopped! It's an emergency—quick, correct the problem!Preventive Maintenance — This effort is time-based and involves performing tasks on a scheduled basis (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually) to "prevent" reactive maintenance. PM looks for warning signs of condition changes using the five senses in looking for, listening for, touching and trying to sniff out problems before the "vision" is affected.Predictive Maintenance — Unfortunately, most failures are not time-based. So, instead of time-based tasks, predictive maintenance (PdM) performs "needed" maintenance based on the condition of the equipment and process. Reliability and maintenance personnel use technology to extend their senses to detect the earliest warning of condition changes before serious damage occurs.
They use infrared imaging to "see" heat. Ultrasonic detectors "hear" friction and turbulence. And vibration analyzers "touch" machinery vibrations to determine which problems are caused by mass imbalance, misalignment, or bearing faults.
Oil analysis "smells" and "tastes" lubricant condition to schedule replacement and can analyze particles for internal-parts wear.
PdM analyzes which time-based PM tasks are actually needed and what is the correct maintenance interval for each situation.
For example, a hydraulic press in a tunnel system requires 65 gallons of oil for system replacement. The manufacturer recommends changing annually, but the oil-analysis results may reveal that three years is a suitable interval.
The return on investment in savings and increased reliability from a maintenance approach that is proactive rather than reactive has been proven time and time again. Whether you are a commercial, industrial or on-premise laundry (OPL), a PM program can keep equipment running efficiently and thereby reduce unnecessary utilities and costs.
The time spent on planned vs. unplanned maintenance is a key indicator of pay now or pay later. We can continue to run the machines to failure and keep expecting a different result. Or, we can view maintenance and reliability as a process that requires attention to detail and continual improvement.
Maintenance is an investment that can be thought of as an on-premise risk management and insurance provider for keeping the vision alive and well.

So what would happen if the characters from "Attack on Titan" were in middle school, and went to school with the Titans instead of fighting against them?
You get a manga that is a pretty funny read.
"Attack on Titan: Junior High Vol. 1," released by Kodansha Comics USA, is a parody/spin-off of megahit manga and anime series "Attack on Titan," which imagines the characters as middle schoolers with slightly exaggerated character traits from their counterparts.
In the story, Eren Yeager can't forgive the Titans for what they did to him five years previously, and becomes obsessed with destroying them. (The whole reason for Eren's grudge against the Titans is part of the joke of the series) In this world, Armin is barely a step above a shut in, Mikasa's "crush" on Eren is almost obsessive, and Levi is super serious about his cleaning. The characters find themselves in situations such as observing a Titan classroom, participating in an athletic competition, and trying to beat the Titans in volleyball.
There were several points in this manga I found myself laughing out loud, such as in one chapter when a character asks another one during an intense Rock, Paper, Scissors battle if she was going to "go the backstabby villain route and we can keep fighting for like 45 more volumes" if she didn't reveal her grudge to him.
There were a few dead spots, such as in the chapter where the group is forced to join the Wall Beautification Club, but even in that story there were some good laughs to be had. And even at 16 chapters, it's a quick read.
Admittedly, a lot of the jokes might be missed by those who haven't read "Attack on Titan" or seen the anime (which is making its debut on Adult Swim's Toonami lineup May 3), so a lot of the more specific humor might be lost to those who have never seen the show. But there are also some American pop culture references that many readers will get a kick out of, such as one character describing something as being "worse than a Cameron Diaz movie marathon," while another is asked if he was a Justin Bieber cosplayer. This is one of those instances where you have a feeling the translator had as much fun translating this as writer Saki Nakagawa had writing it.
Overall, "Attack on Titan: Junior High Vol. 1" is a fun read, and is highly recommended for fans of "Attack on Titan" or comedy lovers.
"Attack on Titan: Junior High Vol. 1" ($16.99 retail price) is available from Amazon, Books a Million, and other online retailers that sell mangas.

Mine Reopening After 2 Fatal Accidents
Written by Your 5News Team

Created on March 06, 2013 @ 3:21PM
SOPHIS, W.Va. (AP) - United Coal Co. says it's resuming production at the southern West Virginia coal mine where two men died within two weeks of each other.
Corporate counsel Jennifer Guthrie said Wednesday that state and federal officials have given their approval to restart the Affinity mine near Sophia. Tennessee-based United is the parent of Pocahontas Coal.
Edward Finney of Bluefield, Va., died Feb. 7 when he was pinned under a hoist he'd been moving trash into. Hoists are used to move miners, equipment and supplies between the surface and the underground operation.
John Myles of Hilltop was crushed by a scoop Feb. 19.
Guthrie says that the first day back for each employee is being devoted to task retraining.
Management says it's also reviewing safety protocols and maintaining close contact with workers.

- Price: $656
- Official Site: Sigma-DP1.com
- Specs: 8.5 oz; 4.6 (14)MP; 3x digital zoom; Max Shutter Speed: 1/4000 sec; ISO 800
- Company: Sigma Corporation
Anyone who pays attention to the compact camera market has had their eyes on the Sigma DP1 for some time now. Ever since the original prototype was unveiled back in 2006, fans have been clamoring over Sigma's concept of taking a DSLR sensor and outfitting it for a pocket-size digital camera. The $600-plus price tag for this cutting-edge technology puts a heavy tax on picture perfection, but serious photogs may not be able to resist the capability to turn their point-and-shoot pictures into instant works of art.
For the first time ever, Sigma's DP1 brings a DSLR-size sensor into a digital camera that could fit in your shirt pocket. Most popular standard digital cameras use a sensor that is about 10 mm in diagonal size, however, the DP1 APS-C style sensor measures in at about 28 mm. Size is not the only advantage of the DP1's unique sensor; it is also one of the only cameras in the world to currently use Foveon technology. While the camera officially uses an antique-like 4.6 megapixels, it is the ultra-light and color-sensitive Foveon lens that allows for remarkable images. By offering triple the color photodetectors, a 4.6 megapixel Foveon sensor actually produces images three times its resolution. Where the DP1 drops the ball is in its menu and operating-system layout. The Shooting Menu and Set Up Menu could not be more confusing and tedious, almost to the point where it brings active photo snapping to a grinding halt.
While the Sigma DP1 is significantly more attractive on the inside than the out, the build quality is still high with a polished metal finish and fit. There is a snap-on lens cap that is supplied in the original box, but there is no tether for it, meaning most guys will lose the thing before they know it. There is also a neck strap provided, but it looks pretty ridiculous to have such a small camera hanging around your neck, as opposed to a more logical wrist attachment. Despite having a fixed focal length, the Sigma DP1 lens still extends and retracts when the camera is powered on, which can slow down the photo process from time to time. The 2.5-inch TFT LCD on the Sigma DP1 is not one of the better display screens produced, with minimal resolution and color distortion in low light. There is no question that the Sigma DP1 is a seminal gadget, with images better than nearly any other compact camera, but it would be nice to see this powerful technology put in the body of a next-generation device that directed some more energy to its design.
