If you watch reality TV, the state of female friendships is pretty dismal. For the most part, it�s all about catty, backstabbing, gossipy mean girls. And while the bitchiness is amplified for the sake of the cameras, it still suggests that women are incapable of having friendships without drama. Scripted series aren�t much better. The friends on �Girls� are jealous of each other�s successes and rarely seem to actually like each other. Anne and Leslie on �Parks and Recreation� come close to something realistic but Anne�s main role is to cheer Leslie�s achievements.
�Playing House� wants to change the dynamic by focusing on two female friends who genuinely care for one another in a supportive and equal relationship. The show gets it right but solid female friendships, it turns out, aren�t must see TV.
Life has taken childhood friends Maggie Caruso (Lennon Parham) and Emma Crawford (Jessica St. Clair) in different directions. Maggie stayed in their hometown, got married and is expecting her first child. Emma�s career took her to Shanghai. When Emma comes home for Maggie�s baby shower, they discover that her husband is cheating on her. Maggie kicks him out and Emma decides to quit her job and help Maggie raise her baby. I�m not sure it�s an entirely realistic scenario but what feels authentic is the deep bond between these two characters.
This is thanks to real life friends St. Clair and Parham whose 2011-2012 NBC show �Best Friends Forever� took on similar themes. As with that show, St. Clair and Parham seamlessly translate their real life friendship to the screen. They bounce lines off one another effortlessly. St. Clair, in particular, is great at scenes where Emma suddenly turns socially awkward. One of the funniest moments happens in the Pilot when she runs into her high school boyfriend, now a cop, and has a ridiculous conversation which ends with her tipping an invisible cap to him and wishing him a good day.
So �Playing House� is funny. At times, it�s even laugh out loud funny. And any woman watching who has been lucky enough to share a similar friendship in their life will relate to the natural comfort level Parham and St. Clair bring to Maggie and Emma. The problem is that it�s perhaps too comfortable for a TV show that needs to persuade you to tune in every week.
I like Maggie and Emma and I suspect most women watching will as well. There is no pretense in their friendship. They have each other�s back, always. And while their friendship doesn�t need to be anything more than positive, the characters need to experience some kind of tension to keep their relationship from becoming all consuming. But that would mean that they are placed in more traditional sitcom roles where they have work or romantic conflicts which they then share with each other, as friends do. While I appreciate what �Playing House� is trying to achieve, it�s not enough to make this realistic friendship TV ready.
�Playing House is on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. EDT on USA.

About the Book
"You can't help but fall in love with Lynsay Sands!"
—Christina Dodd<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lynsay Sands trades in highland kilts for lush ballrooms and high-waisted gowns in The Countess, the first in a brand new, sexy, laugh-out-loud funny Regency romance series. Fans of Julie Garwood, Jill Barnett, and Teresa Medeiros will adore The Countess, and sympathize with her hilarious attempts to cover up the untimely demise of her despicable husband, even as the late earl's twin brother sets her heart aflutter. The much adored creator of the popular Argeneau vampire family paranormal romance novels, the incomparable Lynsay is equally adept at historical romance—as this wonderful Regency romp so emphatically demonstrates!
The fairy tale courtship did not turn into a happily-ever-after . . .
Not until her husband dropped dead, that is. He had been horrible enough to Christiana during their short marriage, and she was not going to allow the traditional period of mourning to ruin her sisters' debuts as well. So she decides to put him on ice and go on as if nothing's happened . . .
Until the real earl appears. Richard Fairgrave had every intention of confronting his villainous twin who had robbed him of his name and title . . . only to discover that he had died. Quietly assuming his identity, Richard must now deal with a maddening desire for his ravishing inherited "wife"— certainly a gold digger and possibly a murderess. And Christiana must deal with an unwanted new "husband" . . . and they both must figure out what to do before the ice melts!

Old English cwēn, of Germanic origin; related to quean.
The Old English spelling of queen was cwēn. This originally meant 'a wife', specifically that of a king or some other important man. Related to cwēn was Old English cwene 'woman', which became the archaic quean, 'a bold or impudent woman', sometimes encountered in Shakespeare's work. In the 16th and 17th centuries it was also a term for a prostitute. Because the two words came to be pronounced in the same way the derogatory sense dropped out of use as too confusing. The sense of queen 'an effeminate gay man' dates from the beginning of the 20th century.

SAN JOSE -- A Santa Clara County judge has ruled that San Jose must provide city officials' private text messages, emails or other electronic communications about city affairs in response to an activist's request, a potentially far-reaching decision that could settle a growing dispute over what open-government advocates say has become a glaring loophole in the state's public records law.
"This is an important decision," said Peter Scheer, executive director of the First Amendment Coalition, a Santa Rosa-based nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing free speech and open government. "It's an important advance. The judge has got to be right. Because if he's not right, then personal email accounts and personal texting accounts would constitute such a huge loophole in open government laws that they would basically render the basic requirements of the law meaningless."
City Attorney Rick Doyle could not say whether the city will appeal because he hasn't discussed the decision with the City Council. But he agreed that its potential would be broad, arguing it could be troubling on both practical and privacy grounds.
"It has implications statewide," Doyle said. "We have some real concerns about it."
The ruling by Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge James P. Kleinberg on Friday was a victory for San Jose activist Ted Smith, who sued the city in August 2009 over its refusal to disclose officials' personal electronic communications in response to his request. Smith had requested emails, texts and other messages sent to and from personal devices by Mayor Chuck Reed, council members and redevelopment officials about city business including subsidizing a development in San Pedro Square downtown on property owned by former Mayor Tom McEnery and his family.
Smith's attorney, James McManis, said the city's refusal to provide the records was ironic given that Reed had championed open-government "sunshine reforms" and San Jose's groundbreaking policy, adopted in January 2010, that declared such personal electronic messaging by council members and their staff subject to disclosure.
"We hear about the Reed Reforms and sunshine, but when we ask to see the emails on private devices, we're refused," McManis said. "That's why I'm really happy we won."
Reed was traveling out of state, and his office had no immediate comment.
Smith, an environmental activist who founded the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition, and McManis, a prominent lawyer, have a history of taking on City Hall on such things as lobbying regulations and campaign finance restrictions that McManis argued abridge free speech rights.
"His interest is summarized in two words," McManis said of his client. "Good government."
McManis had filed a complaint on behalf of an anonymous critic in 2008 accusing McEnery of violating the city's lobbying laws in meetings with city officials about subsidizing his San Pedro development plans. City commissioners who enforce the lobbying laws dismissed the complaint after their outside investigators deemed it largely without merit.
Smith's suit over the electronic records argued the city violated the California Public Records Act by refusing to turn over messages from personal phones and other devices in response to his June 2009 request. It named as defendants Reed, the City Council, the now-defunct redevelopment agency and its former director, Harry Mavrogenes.
The suit came as a growing nationwide battle waged over the line between government officials' public and private lives, as lawmakers embraced technology that enabled portable wireless phones to send and receive email and short text messages.
Doyle has previously pointed to arguments raised by the League of California Cities and the California State Association of Counties in fighting a Tracy newspaper's effort to compel a city councilwoman to produce personal emails on a proposed development. They contended that compelling disclosure from officials' personal accounts would be impractical because the government agency does not control access and storage. They also argued that such requests raise privacy concerns because messages regarding official business may be mingled with others about private matters. Doyle said that if the state Legislature intends for officials' private accounts to be subject to disclosure it should say so.
San Jose made headlines in January 2010 with its policy declaring personal texts, emails and other electronic messages of council members and their staff subject to disclosure. But the question of whether the California Public Records Act covers personal devices and accounts of public officials had remained unresolved, as the Tracy newspaper lost its 2007 case on appeal over a technicality. Scheer said that if Judge Kleinberg's decision stands, it would change that.
"It is, I believe, a correct interpretation and goes beyond certainly the practices of most cities and local governments," Scheer said. "It would bring a lot more of the most important communications within local governments within the jurisdiction of the Public Records Act."

Property Of Salish Kooienai Community College Continued dry conditions result in mandatory 'hoot owF restrictions Not counting a few pitiful showers that all but dried up before they hit the parched ground, and two days of fitfull drizzle, there's been no real rain on the Flathead for about six weeks. In an effort to reduce the risk of man-made fires lighting up the Reservation's skies, the Tribal Council on July 26 voted to make the following "hoot owl" restrictions mandatory, o Ci ê o o CO (7k LO not voluntary: Open burning of natural or cultivated vegetation, trash, debris, and litter is prohibited until such time as the weather permits and Tribal Council action dictates. Campfires are prohibited except at designated campgrounds. Smoking permitted only in developed campgrounds, places of habitation, and enclosed vehicles. Use of chain saws or any motorized equipment for felling, bucking, skidding, road building, blasting or welding is prohibited between 1:00 p.m. and 1:00 am On-going woods operations will be patrolled for one hour daily after motorized equipment has been shut down. Should conditions worsen, an emergency closure of all roads leading to the Reservation's forests could occur, as happened in 1960 and 1973. Until a good two or three inches of rain falls to wet everything down, forest land and fire control managers will continue to worry about exhausted crews, and the fact that fire season hasn't technically arrived, all the evidence to the contrary (although the Reservation's forests haven't seen much fire action so far, luckily enough.) Fisheries experts will keep on worrying about the effects of shrinking streams on wild fish populations. Farmers will continue to sweat about using up their quotas of irrigation water well before summer's end (Continues on page 3) Tribes move for injunction against FIP U is si Si ss H O The Tribes are seeking a preliminary injunction to force the Flathead Irrigation Project (FIP) to maintain minimum instream flows on certain Flathead Reservation streams during the current drought Federal District Court Judge Charles Lovell, in a hearing that's said to have lasted most of a day, issued a temporary order Aug. 1 in Helena requiring FIP to stop diverting water for irrigation unless it can ensure enough water in steams to preserve certain trout fisheries. He declined to set specific water flows and pool levels. Stanley Kaleczyc, attorney for the Joint Board of Control, which opposes the Tribes' request for the injunction, had asked Judge Lovell to require that the Tribes post a $6.7 million bond to cover potential damages, according to The Great Falls Tribune He contended that should irrigation water be completely shut off, affected farmers and ranchers could suffer $6.7 (Concludes on page two)

Selena Gomez is apparently moving on from Justin Bieber.
Gomez was reportedly spotted holding hands with Luke Bracey, a 23-year-old Australian actor and Gomez's "Monte Carlo" co-star, at the CAA Golden Globes after-party, according to Us Weekly. The two were getting "super close" at the Sunday night event.
This is highly irregular. Celebrities in their 20s where alcohol is present, getting cozy with one another?
At one point during the party, Gomez was reportedly overheard telling Bracey about her New Year's fight with Justin Bieber, according to Us Weekly, saying, "It was awful. We were fighting."
The two met on the set of the 2011 film, in which he played Leighton Meester's love interest.
But Bracey isn't the only handsome twentysomething Gomez has been seen with lately. No sir.
On Sunday, Gomez also partied with "Hunger Games" star Josh Hutcherson, according to Celebuzz. They hit the Weinstein Co. Golden Globes after-party and, later that night, were reportedly seen leaving the Beverly Hilton Hotel arm-in-arm.
One report claimed Gomez and Hutcherson hooked up, but a source told GossipCop that rumor is "completely false."

- Santa Clara County paramedic found shot in car in Oakland hills
SAN JOSE -- As colleagues mourned the death of paramedic Quinn Boyer, his family on Friday spoke out for the first time, saying his killing has left "a gash in our hearts that will never heal."
In the short statement, Boyer's family said his organs will be donated to patients in need, continuing his history of helping others.
They also asked anyone with information about the Tuesday shooting in the Oakland hills to contact the Oakland Police Department.
"We ask for your support and prayers, and your respect for our privacy during this difficult time," the unsigned statement read.
Meanwhile, a modest but growing memorial adorned the front lawn of Rural/Metro Ambulance headquarters to honor the memory of the 34-year-old Boyer, who died Thursday. Friends, family, and fellow paramedics had been hoping he might pull through Tuesday's shooting.
"Everybody is still in shock and going through the grievance process," said Brian Hubbell, operations manager for the nearly 270 emergency medical services specialists working in Santa Clara County.
Boyer, a Dublin resident, worked as a paramedic for the county since 2008, with a stellar reputation on the job.
"He was loved by everybody. He was a great paramedic and amazing caregiver," Hubbell said. "It's not just a loss for EMS, but a true loss for the community he served."
The statement from Boyer's family says they will "miss him terribly and will never be the same."
Boyer, the family said, grew up in Oakland and graduated from Sonoma State University, the Santa Rosa Fire Academy and Foothill College's paramedic program. He had recently been accepted into the physician's assistant program at Stanford.
Boyer was also a Big Brother and a volunteer at the Order of Malta clinic in Oakland.
Oakland police said Boyer had taken his father to a doctor's appointment Tuesday morning and was stopped at Keller Avenue and Hansom Drive about noon when someone pulled up alongside and shot him in the head at point-blank range.
Boyer accelerated and his Honda Civic went over a median strip and crashed into a ravine, police said. Emergency crews rushed him to the hospital, but he never regained consciousness and was pronounced dead Thursday afternoon.
Police have been tight-lipped about the shooting, including possible motives, suspects and a car description. Whether he was targeted or attacked at random also remains unclear. The stretch of Keller is typically isolated during the time of day when he was shot.
Boyer is the second Santa Clara County paramedic to be the victim of a high-profile attack in as many years: Bryan Stow was savagely beaten outside Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles after the 2011 opening-day game between the Dodgers and San Francisco Giants. Stow suffered severe brain damage and continues to receive treatment.
Meanwhile, grief counselors have been made available to the Santa Clara paramedic crew, but even in this time of mourning, duty calls.
"You can't just shut down for the day. It's tough, but we're surrounded by amazing, professional people who recognize the dedication to the field and what they do," Hubbell said. "They're committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of the community."
Boyer's family thanked Highland Hospital, where he was taken after being shot.
"We are humbled by the love and support shown by our extended EMS family, including hospital staff, police, sheriff departments, fire departments, and of course the paramedics and EMTs," the family said. "We consider you all our brothers and sisters."
There is a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest of the shooter. Anyone with information can contact Oakland police at 510-238-3821 or Crime Stoppers at 510-777-8572 or 510-777-3211.

Better living through nature

It may finally feel like spring outside, but many of the staff at our office is being kept inside by a bout of colds and sinus and ear infections. As with any cold or head infection, the last symptom to disappear is usually the cough. Coughing is part of our natural immune defense system. Although it may feel like your body is trying to forcibly remove your lungs at times, a cough is actually designed to expel dust, chemicals, phlegm and other irritants or foreign matter from your respiratory tract. To effectively end your cough, you'll need to treat the underlying cause, whether from an infection, allergen or other source. As your body heals, follow these tips to ease your coughing.
Don't suppress your cough! Although it may seem polite to suppress your cough around other people, taking a cough suppressant or physically preventing yourself from coughing will only prolong your cough. Let the body work its magic.
Humidify. Dry living or working environments can make a cough worse. A humidifier moisturizes the air, which can help soothe throats and break up congestion underlying a cough. Cool-mist humidifiers are generally considered a safer option as the air from a warm-mist humidifier has the potential to burn if it comes in close contact with skin. (Cool-mist humidifiers are also less expensive and use less energy than their warm-mist counterparts.) Humidifiers are only beneficial if used properly, however. Be sure to clean out your humidifier every couple of days with a disinfecting solution.

Eat right. Certain foods encourage mucus production, which can increase the amount of phlegm your body produces. Avoid dairy products especially, and lay off the chocolate and processed, refined or "junk" food.
Drink up! It's the most basic principle to follow when you're sick: Stay hydrated. Water thins mucus secretions, helping to move all that gunk out of your respiratory system. Water can also help your immune system function properly. Drink a glass every two hours.
Heal with honey. Among honey's many health benefits is its ability to soothe sore throats and suppress coughs. Most versions of homemade cough drops or cough syrup will call for this natural remedy, and a study at Penn State College of Medicine showed that honey reduces nighttime coughing in children with respiratory infections. Add a spoonful to a cup of hot tea or take it straight. Opt for raw honey, which has more medicinal benefits than processed honey.

Herbal Remedies
Ginger has many health benefits, including its ability to treat cold symptoms such as coughing. Try this recipe for Ginger Lemon Tea to ease your coughing.
Hyssop: This member of the mint family can loosen phlegm and soothe mucus membranes. Infuse ¼ ounce of hyssop into boiling water to make a soothing tea.
Licorice soothes sore throats and naturally suppresses coughing. Licorice can interfere with other medications and should not be taken if you have high blood pressure, however.
Mullein: This member of the snapdragon family is a natural expectorant, meaning it helps clear your lungs of mucus.
Peppermint contains menthol, a common ingredient in many cough and cold remedies. Menthol works as a decongestant and expectorant, meaning it will help thin and remove mucus. Drink peppermint-infused tea or add three to four drops of peppermint oil to a steam bath for inhalation.

Nothing Imminent???
"Rodgers did talk briefly about potential signings says that "nothing was imminent" before adding that he still hopes to bring in one or two more signings before the end of the transfer window."
Anyone else worried? What happened to the three first teamers he was talking about a few weeks ago?
So, if this is right, then we start the season less Suarez, Pepe, Downing, Shelvey with the addtion of Toure, SM, Aspas & Alberto (with all four purchased to improve the competitiveness of the squad rather than being first teamers). Is that an improvement & does anyone think that is enough to go from 7th to 4th? How does that compare with the squads of Tottenham, Arsenal & Everton for example?
For me, I hope that BR is pulling the wool over our eyes or I think that we will be 7th/6th at the end of the season. If that happens the BR/FSG revolution is over from my point of view.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

It's potentially worrying Paddy, but to be honest the managers press conference is one of the last places I'd look for hard information on if a deal was imminent or not. BR, correctly imo, is highly unlikely to tell is a deal is going on until the ink has actually dried on the contract.
But I do think we need to bring in at least 2 more, and sooner the better. Obviously even if they announced a deal today a new player would not likely impact the opener against Stoke, and I think we should have enough now for that game, and Villa. The league cup match should be an opportunity for the youngsters so again not in critical need for new recruits.
However I would like to have some quality in the side before September, and early enough so they can actually be integrated into the first team by the time we have to face Utd and Swansea, which I think will be our toughest out of the first 6 or so games.

So first one's almost in ... seems like BR was bluffing!
I agree Dave - like you say, he's not about to announce targets in a press conference. Fingers crossed eh?
For what it's worth, I "believe" we have finally signed, or are finalizing the deal for the left back / left wing back Siquiere from Granada.. I could be wrong, but I'm finding it alot in the Spanish news where I prefer to go, as I always note..
Interestingly enough, aside from his apparent quality at Left Back, he was a converted attacking right winger who cuts in on his left, like Aspas etc., and in his time in La Liga, has 19 goals in 90 games, which is impressive for a "LB". Also shows he's multi functional and it would make sense since he's 27 and Downing just left. I guess let's watch and see if it's actually done, or just hot air.. I "think" so.
As for CB, I'm beginning to think that we might stand pat after reading Skrtel's interview where he admitted that he's had a tough time with a knee injury, but is very much happy and welcoming of the competition to fight Toure for his place. Granted, he could get sent to Napoli like Reina, but he'd be impossible to replace without a 100% guaranteed "in" like Alderweireld ..
Up front, I could see the rumors of Scott Sinclair being true, and while that won't excite many, he was many of our favorites of the Swansea contingent in which we thought BR might bring with him 2 years ago, and I rated him quite highly then. He's 24, a big upgrade to Downing and knows the system. If you want to cross your fingers and dream a little, let's hope the story of Willian from Anzhi are true.. Champions League aside, he's be the equivalent, and actually better than Mkhitarayan, and just slightly more expensive, but a truly top top class player. I won't hold my breath, but, if Rodgers did have the 25-30M to spend on Mkhy, then he should certainly have it still available to move on Willian, and the fact that it is later in the window, with others having made the 25-35M purchases, makes it somewhat realistic, in addition to Brazilian recruiting of Lucas and Coutinho..
Siquiherie (whatever), Sinclair, Willian would do..

EAGLE COUNTY - Weekends when the valley's parking lots are full are good for business. When weekends turn into weeks, business is booming.
The Vail Valley has entered a three-week stretch when full planes will turn into full shops, restaurants and lodges. Spring break for many families starts this week, and continues through the end of the month. The next three weeks will also see planes full of visitors from Mexico, Brazil and other Latin American countries, coming to the Vail Valley to celebrate the traditional two-week break the week before and after Easter.
While the exact numbers won't be known until later in the spring, Eagle County Regional Airport Aviation Director Greg Phillips said the initial reports he's seeing show full planes coming to the valley over the next few weeks.
Mechelle Cappel, co-owner of Eagle-based Elite Limousine, said her company's reservation bookings mirror Phillips' information - bookings are filling fast for the next few weeks.
Some of those reservations are coming from clients flying to the valley on private jets. Those people, who are able to set their own schedules and destinations, tend to chase snow during ski season, Cappel said. The fact they're flying into Eagle County shows that this year's snow - not great, but better-timed than last year's meager totals - shows a degree of interest in the valley.
That interest is shared by families flying in for spring break or Easter.
"Those people are coming partly because of snow, and also because they're vested in the valley," Cappel said.
People on those planes tend to stay longer and spend more than the visitors who drive up from the Front Range. That's good for everyone from limo drivers to restaurant and gallery owners and everyone in between.
Ron Riley, who owns Russell's Steakhouse and Los Amigos in Vail, said the March crowds are a significant part of the valley's overall economic picture. But, he said, people flying in for spring break are a little harder to spot than those who have driven to the valley - except for the drivers who stay longer.
Evidence of the Latin American presence is here this weekend as more Spanish is heard being spoken around town. Riley said most of his restaurants' Latin American guests end up at Russell's. And those guests tend to spend.
Riley said when the Spanish-speaking guests are in the valley, the average cost per person on a dinner ticket at Russell's will go up by dollars from year to year. A good bump is usually measured in cents, he said.
Those guests, who still make up a relatively small portion of the total number of people coming to the valley, are now coming for more than just the traditional religious holidays, Riley said.
"It's a wonderful development," Riley said, adding the Latin American guests are visiting throughout both winter and summer months now.
Latin American guests are also an important part of business at Luca Bruno's two clothing stores in Vail.
"They're very important, for every business," Bruno said. "They really help the Vail economy."
Renee Gibbs, the manager of Bruno's store in Solaris, agreed with her boss. Latin American customers' spending might be more noticeable because they find things at Bruno's stores they won't find elsewhere, Gibbs said.
Spring break crowds are similar, Gibbs said, but the Latin American customers' habits are more noticeable, she said.
Bill Rey, owner of the Claggett-Rey Gallery in Vail Village, said foreign customers aren't a big part of his business - at least not now. Regardless, the next three weeks are "really the climax" of the winter season, Rey said.
His gallery's business volume rises during the spring break and Easter weeks, but he credits the sheer volume of people in the valley rather than the arrival of any particular group of people.
"Just to have the volume is important," Rey said. "And March is really similar to Christmas - it's game on for everybody."

Below are the winners of Ducks Unlimited's 2010 Wetland Conservation Achievement Awards, which were presented at the 75th-annual North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference on March 26, 2010.
Sen. John Thune of South Dakota has demonstrated a commitment to protecting the Prairie Pothole Region for many years. During this time, Sen. Thune has contributed immensely to advancing one of the conservation community's top Farm Bill priorities – Sodsaver. Specifically, in 2007, the great-plains-region senator played a critical role in advancing the inclusion of Sodsaver in the Farm Bill reauthorization. He championed arguments on the floor of the U.S. Senate expressing strong support for removing government incentives for continued conversion of America's dwindling native grasslands. Through his continued resolute commitment and dedication to conservation, he has helped protect essential waterfowl habitat in one of the most critical waterfowl production areas in North America.
For the past two decades, Mott has been a major force behind the evolution of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP). The current chief of the Branch of Science and Planning of the USFWS Division of Bird Habitat Conservation, he has been instrumental in the expansion, focus and coordination of the habitat Joint Ventures. Mott, a native of southern New England, has aided the spread of Strategic Habitat Conservation and Adaptive Management as the way the federal wildlife agency conducts its business. He has played a major role as a liaison between the United States and its NAWMP partners in Canada and Mexico. He has had a broad, positive impact on North American waterfowl conservation and remains a vital partner to conservation agencies and NGOs.
Thomas M. Hauge has had a long and successful career working for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources – Wildlife Bureau and has built a great coalition of partners in many successful programs, with a strong influence in wetlands and waterfowl programs. Since their inceptions, Hauge has been a staunch supporter of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) and the North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA). He has worked diligently to promote wetland conservation projects in Wisconsin, including numerous NAWCA grants, making Wisconsin one of the top NAWCA states in the union. He has worked with DU on more than 100 projects. He is also a strong supporter of NAWMP efforts in Canada, to which Wisconsin has contributed over $4.4 million. Hauge has represented Wisconsin for many years on the Mississippi Flyway Council, including serving as chairman.
Krapu grew up on a small farm in North Dakota where he became interested in waterfowl hunting. Krapu's research career began in 1968 with the Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center, where he has spent more than 40 years as a wildlife research biologist. Krapu spent his early career in waterfowl research conducting feeding ecology studies of nesting pintails. One important finding from these studies involved the role of invertebrates in providing protein necessary for production of eggs. From a management perspective, this research illustrated the need to protect temporary, seasonal and semi-permanent wetlands, and led to changes in land acquisition priorities for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Nelson grew up in Saginaw, Mich., and has had a lifelong passion for the outdoors and civic action. As president of the Tri-County Chapter of the Michigan Duck Hunters Association (MDHA) and the state legislative chairperson of the MDHA in 1975 and 1976, he led the successful effort to create the Michigan Duck Stamp Act. The Michigan Duck Stamp has provided millions of dollars for wetlands conservation. He is chair of the Implementation Committee of MDHA for the North American Waterfowl Management Plan in Michigan.
A Pulitzer-Prize-winning columnist for the New Orleans Times-Picayune and a regular contributor to Field and Stream magazine, Marshall is a natural selection for the 2010 Wetland Conservation Achievement Award in Communications. Marshall has used his platform, both in Louisiana and nationally, to promote important waterfowl and wetlands conservation issues. During Marshall's 35-year career, his willingness to address contentious issues, such as the loss of wetland protections and the threats of natural resource development on fragile habitat, has set him apart. Marshall's continuing enthusiasm for the outdoors makes him a leading voice promoting the traditions of waterfowling and the need for waterfowlers and other sportsmen to be conservation leaders.

I've been reading a lot of posts in regard to tee pads being shoveled off.
Anyone have any good advise for playing in the snow?
I'm mostly concerned with how you spot and find you discs without trampling all of the snow. I would plan on bringing only cheap, stable to understable plastic. But if its gonna take 4 hours to play because your digging for discs the whole time, I would just as soon wait till it melts.

North Port scraps plan for temporary waste disposal site
Published: Monday, February 25, 2013 at 4:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 25, 2013 at 6:36 p.m.
NORTH PORT - City officials called it a "solid waste transfer station."
On Monday, the North Port City Commission:
• Heard recommendations from the city's Parks and Recreation Advisory Board that Warm Mineral Springs remain in public ownership and that the city build a 50-meter public swimming pool.
• Approved a $102,495 contract with Wade Trim Inc. for an extensive survey to determine which neighborhoods may want to connect with the city utilities system and what costs could be involved. Commissioner Jim Blucher objected, saying the study seems unnecessary and that most other municipalities make hook-ups mandatory when water or sewer lines are extended.
• Approved a $4.9 million contract with E.T. MacKenzie of Florida Inc. for expansion of the reclaimed water system.
Residents called it "a dump."
An overflow crowd at City Hall convinced the City Commission on Monday to scrap the whole idea by any name.
The city had been looking at a storage and compacting facility for garbage within the city limits to reduce the need to send trucks on a 48-mile round trip to the Sarasota County landfill and a 35-mile round trip to a recycling business even when the vehicles do not carry a full load.
Proponents said it could save taxpayers as much as $300,000 a year.
But the roughly 300 people who came out to oppose the proposal did not like any of the five potential locations or the very notion of a garbage-handling facility within the city.
"Kill it, please," resident Robert Steed said, joining others who complained about potential odors and loss of property values.
"I couldn't be more against this trash transfer station," resident Lorenzo Whitehead said.
Residents repeatedly said they would be unable to sell their homes and new home construction in their communities would stop if they resided anywhere near what they preferred to call "a dump."
"We heard over and over again about the location issue," said Commissioner Cheryl Cook, who asked that the topic be put on Monday's agenda and made the motion to cancel a study about the idea.
Cook said the 2 to 3 percent in expected savings in the city's $10 million solid waste budget hardly seemed to be worth the aggravation residents expressed.
Commissioner Jim Blucher cast the dissenting vote in the 3-1 decision.
"I don't want to be the commissioner who puts a dump in your backyard," Blucher told the crowd.
He, too, disliked the suggested locations.
However, the city needs to look at how it will handle an increasing amount of garbage as the population grows, Blucher warned.
"The issue of garbage will continue to come up as we build out," Blucher said.
At some point, Blucher said, the city may have to revisit the idea — though probably for a more remote location.
Previously, resident Tony Treadwell gave the commission petitions signed by 691 people who opposed the concept and he had been continuing to collect more.
Treadwell said residents' concerns were numerous: "smell, trucks, dust, fumes, rodents."

Lupita Nyong'o Is Named New Face of Lancome
Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o has been named the new face for Lancome, making the "12 Years a Slave" actress the first black "ambassadress" for the French cosmetics brand.
"I am truly honored to join the Maison Lancôme, a brand with such a prestigious history that I have always loved. I am particularly proud to represent its unique vision for women and the idea that beauty should not be dictated, but should instead be an expression of a woman's freedom to be herself," Nyong'o said in a statement.
She joins actresses Julia Roberts, Kate Winslet and Penelope Cruz as a spokeswoman for the line. Advertisements featuring Nyong'o will roll out this summer. Nyong'o was also featured in a Miu Miu fashion campaign.
The actress, who won an Academy Award in March for playing Patsey in Steve McQueen's "12 Years," recently delivered a stirring speech about beauty at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood awards.
During the speech, Nyong'o read from a letter she received from a young girl who described her struggle with the color of her skin. Nyong'o said, "I remember a time when I too felt unbeautiful. I put on the TV and only saw pale skin. I got teased and taunted about my night-shaded skin. My one prayer to God, the miracle worker, was that I would wake up lighter-skinned."
"And then, Alek Wek came on the international scene. A celebrated model. She was dark as night. She was on all the runways and in every magazine and everyone was talking about how beautiful she was. Even Oprah called her beautiful, and that made it a fact," she said.
Watch the speech.

- " We stayed in a private room. There was mold on the walls, the water was brown (we have stayed in other hotels for less money in Nepal and the water wasn't brown), and there was definitely no pick up from the airport. If you are a couple, stay at a hotel, it will be about the same price and MUCH nicer. "

I wanted to stay in a dorm but there was no dormitory just private double bedroomes. bad to get to know new people when you just arrived in a city. Staff had no second key for the rooms so I had to change room twice. Brown water in bath room. Staff charged me more than I actually had to pay for room rate. Provide me a taxi for at least thrice the price you normally have to pay. "

Superior Peptides' are synthesized in modern and automated synthesizers. Computer control and monitoring of peptide assembly and purification, from sequences stored in a verified database, ensures reliability of sequences.
Peptides are then purified on automated preparative HPLC systems. After fractions are analyzed by LC and MS, only the best fractions are selected as final product.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids monomer that are linked by amide bonds. Amide bonds are also known as peptide bond and both are used interchangeably to denote one another.
Peptides are so numerous because of their ability to be synthesized into very long chains. Peptides and proteins are similar in structure but there are noticeable differences between them. A protein is polymer of amino acids. It is a poly peptide containing several amino acids linked together....

A number of Eagle residents were startled to see a bear roaming down Broadway on Memorial Day.
According to Eagle Police Chief Rodger McLaughlin, a number of spectators watched as the animal ambled around downtown, eventually walking up to the Yeti's Coffee House window and peeking inside.
McLaughlin frightened the animal away from the area by shooting some rubber bullets. He noted the ammunition would sting, but not injure the animal.
McLaughlin noted that the spectators Monday were too close to the bear during the incident. He advises giving wildlife a wide berth when they appear in populated areas and he reminded residents that nuisance bears most often have to be put down. He suggested local residents take extra care to keep garbage cans secure and to avoid feeding pets outside, activities that will lure wildlife into town.
Eagle police responded to a condo building in town May 13 when a man called 911 and told a dispatcher, "I need to go to jail right now."
Officers arrived at the scene and the man's girlfriend opened the door. She pointed to a man inside and said he was intoxicated and he had called 911.
When asked what was going on, the man repeated that he needed to go to jail. He said he had been drinking at a local bar and when he came home he got jealous. He said he called 911 to scare his girlfriend.
After explaining that 911 calls were for emergencies only, the officer advised the man he was going to be cited for false reporting. The man said his case was an emotional emergency. The officer did not buy the argument and wrote the ticket. The man asked how much the fine would be and offered to pay it then and there. The officer responded that the man would have to show up for court.
Eventually the man was released to the custody of his mother.
Eagle cops responded to Sylvan Lake State Park May 19 when a ranger requested assistance in dealing with an intoxicated and uncooperative man.
The ranger said he was flagged down by the man's wife. She told the ranger that she and her husband were driving along Brush Creek Road when they began arguing. She prevented her husband from continuing to drive because she said he was too intoxicated.
When the Eagle officer arrived, he helped the ranger place the man in the back of the patrol car. The officer noted the man was unsteady on his feet and that he became belligerent and argumentative after he was placed in the police car.
The man was taken to the Eagle County jail.

McVeigh may have been a christian on some level, but the difference is that 1 He did not do it in the name of religion or holy war and 2 Christian religion does not specifically call for the destruction of people of other religions in its teachings. Muslims are not true Muslims (according to the Koran) if they do not hold to the statement, "if your neighbor is a Christian, make war with him." The only allowance is if you live in a nation that is not under Islamic control. In which case you are permitted to be courteous or nice (or what have you) as long as internally they still wish Christians ill. While it is true that we are founded on Christian principles, we are a different kind of Christian than those of Europe. Our founders sought out freedom from religious persecution here in America, yes. But we would not have tolerated Jihad in our nation. Our nation made peace with the Muslims a long time ago at our foundation. This is a state matter. 10th amendment! If NY says no mosque, ok!

Should a 13-story Islamic mosque and community center be built near the site of the new World Trade Center in New York City?

There is enough blame to spread around and that is true but does not mean that we should forget how We were attacked and that many peaceful American voices were silenced in the name of islam.speach is never free it has a price that was paid by those that have served Our Great Country .

What freedoms do we as Americans express if we are against the muslim faith? Our Ancestors came to America just for that "Freedom of Expressing one's faith". Yet because we believe it was a "religion" that attacked us we can't seem to turn the other cheek and try to move foward? If you remember it was our own government who failed us in acting upon intelligence that could have possibly prevented the attack. Have we continued to correct that situation? I don't think so! Let's move forward in life and not get wrapped around the axel on the past. We learn from the past and through compassion, forgiveness and the love of God we move forward to make it a better place!
I believe in this country and all freedoms provided to each and every citizen of the United States. Relgious freedom is one of our freedoms and that is what all members of the past and current Armed Forces should support. We cannot single out any one religion. Some in their comments seem to feel that we are at war with the Muslim faith. Not so. we are at war against any terrorist or terrorist organization that promotes, supports, and does actual harm to our country and our citizens. My God, some of us seem to think that we are still in the Age of the Crusades!
During the Middle Ages it was common for Christians as well as Muslims to build churches and mosques on the sites of battlefields to thank God for their victories over their enemies. Christians have not done this in a few hundred years, but Muslims many of whom have fallen pray either willingly or unwillingly to radicalism have a middle ages mentality. Let's be honest, September 11th 2001 was a victory for Islam. We weren't aware of the coming attack and they accomplished their goal of killing Americans in New York. They won their battle or first raid. Let's not forget the many Muslims danced in celebration in Central Park and New Jersey how many Muslims either openly or silently support what happened and how many are still in the U.S. and will attend that mosque. That mosque will be dedicated to their victory on the first battlefield of the current war. I don't believe their should be any war memorials in our nation that aren't dedicated to American soldiers.
Last I looked we are no longer in the Middle Ages.
Maybe we need a moratorium on mosque building until the first Christian church is built in Saudi Arabia.
Build your Mosque anywhere else but New York City. Muslims won't let Christian's build a church anywhere near Mecca, same should apply to WTC
I voted no!
Common sense says WTC Ground-Zero is a historic site and no private organization should have their headquarters anywhere near it. It's at least as worthy of preservation as the other proscribed historical sites.
Is this less important a piece of American History than any of the HUNDREDS of historic sites in NY, where you can't build, demolish or even renovate the property?
If you're far enough away, build anything you want, this is the land of the free. But please don't step on the war graves of 3000 people, who were the first victims of a global war not against a religion, but against murderous lunatics who want to impose their version of religion.
That's why I voted no.
No mosque should be built near ground zero ever! We need no additional Muslim influence anywhere, in any city in the U.S. until the Muslim religion abolishes being committed to destroying all infidels who do not bow to Islam. Specifically, Jews & Christians are cited as those who are worthy of death. Mohammed and the Koran clearly declare this is an avowed policy! The Islamic "radicals" who commit atrocities beyond description are not radicals at all, according to their faith. They are following exactly the teachings of Mohammed and the clerics who followed him, teachings that require obedience of all Muslim believers. We are a Christian nation. Remember that Obama! Any comparison of Christianity with Islam is absolutely atrocious.
The entire story of Islam is one of terror & conquest! It is the most vicious movement ever on the face of the earth. Today Muslims will not rest until they destroy Israel.
Correction, we are a nation made up of mostly Christians but any and all faiths are protected by the Constitution of the United States period. I myself am a Christian and if I remember the atrocities of the Crusaders plenty were also Christians you know. Seems to me that we are breeding our own Christian radicals which is very dangerous to our country, our citizenry, and the world...
does that number matter? do you know the number of those that commit suicide by blowing themselves up to destroy others are not Muslim..like zero,.... oh...goodness I almost overlooked that.., they do not care how many other Muslims they destroy as long as their target is killed/injured/maimed...and for all those anti-terror members of the Mulsim society...how many of those have you seen making a public display against Islamic terror; how many rallies are held for the news media demanding those that teach terror be hunted down (those that plan/fund/support terrorism); how many of that peaceful order demand publicly to the world that terrorist actions be stopped.....NONE!!!....how many of the persons that were in the planes of 9/11 were Muslims..ALL were....so, you also have now played your IDIOT card
U.S. as in United States, as in United States of America;.....the constitution was written for US Citizens (not illegals, terrorist producers etc)......our country and the laws of our country are for U.S. citizens and for the protection of those citizens and this country...it was not designed to protect those that want to destroy this nation and these U.S. Citizens;...to all those that call us racists, race has nothing to do with protecting this nation (unless all U.S. Citizens were of one race and everyone else in the world were some other race, then maybe...and even then, so what...they/we would still protect their/our nation).....yeah, throw out the overused race card..that will really help anything, oh..I almost forgot, you have played your IDIOT card!!!!
I hope second comments are permitted. I omitted two important questions ..... Has the American Legion taken an "offical" position? Not seen reference in the past few magazines????
shouldn't we? Also, is this a "done deal" and we being fooled once again by our "trusted leaders"? For such an event to have so little attention, is strange. Are our polls useless?
I wish I could be as open minded (single minded?)as some. Is the Constitution for Americans or anyone who wants to hide behind it? What's the underlying reason for the building? Who will use it, pay for it? It is more than coincidence that this AREA was chosen. Note I said "area" because anywhere in that section of NYC should be off limits. I have a genuine fear, that this is not so bland as we're expected to believe. Just think how many more great targets? Yes, all religions should be treated alike. We have no reason to pacify or coddle Islam, any more than another religion. The precedent should be set, now. Of more concern, why have the "politicians" from Bloomberg to Obama not expressed any dismay or feeling? I just don't get it!! Would you offer lodging to one who personally attacked you or a family member? Not a "turn the other cheek" time. God Bless us and save us.
Not every Muslim is a terrorist but every Terrorist is a Muslim. hmmm
Have we all forgotten the two young girls who hand in hand jumped from the burning tower? Are we so stupidly politically correct that we open our doors wide to enemies? Are there those so subversive and corrupt that they look the other way while our faces get slapped. God help us and our apathy; ..... 9/11 ..... let's try to remember that there are people out there who want us converted or dead. I'm not sure of the motivation behind the desire to build this mosque in this location. The motivation may not be "Freedom of Religion". Therefore - No mosque in NYC, never. There are enough already in the area.
We, as a Nation, believe it is okay to mock the assignation of a great man like JFK with nudity and claim freedom of speech, we burn and desecrate the very symbol of a free nation,is it a right to protest at a fallen veteran's grave,as the family grieves for their son who paid the ultimate price so that they could protest the very thing that secured our many freedoms to begin with? As Theodore Roosevelt once said "To bear the name of American is to bear the most honorable titles; and whoever does not so believe has no business to bear the name at all, and, if he comes from Europe, the sooner he goes back there the better." This applies to everyone who is anything but an American. "Moreover, he must not bring in his Old-World religious race and national antipathies, but must merge them into love for our common country, and must take pride in the things which we can all take pride in. He must revere only our flag;not only must it come first, but no other flag should even come second."
As has been posted here already, the question and the story in general is worded in a way to generate negativity. On the other hand, I think a large Islamic center that close to Ground Zero is like declaring victory over the US. I don't care if the people involved with the center are linked to terrorists or not, the Islamic community really needs to clean up their our house before posting their flag any where near Ground Zero.
Build a mosque at the site of anything so we'll have something to shoot at!!Oklahoma didn't receive near the attention NYC did because we THINK the Arabs did it!!
AND - I'm proud that quite a few have spoken eloquently about our CONSTITUTIONALLY GUARANTEED FREEDOM OF RELIGION.
It's pathetically sad that you racists are such TRAITORS to the Constitution. I thought you all took an oath to swear to DEFEND that Constitution? Instead - you want to tear it up and use it as toilet paper.
You sicken me. If only you would all lose your veteran's status for being such racist pigs, you'd still be treated too leniently.
I would like nothing more than to tell you what I kind of American you are however unlike you I respect all that served. even you so spew your hate and show your true self we dont have to read it.
I believe the Religious Freedom quaranteed by our forefathers was for Chrisianity-based religions.(hence all the in God we trust statemnets found in all their paperwork). Catholic, Lutheran... Your free to pick one/any one.
As far as an Islamic Mosque on our 911 site.. hey target practice.
We attacked a country (Iraq) that invaded a country (Kuwait) that had what we deemed to be OUR oil. THEN, we stayed in Saudi Arabia against all advise given, foreign and domestic. This action was not deemed allowable by others more interested in their own sovereignty and freedom from the West and its ways. Thus, 9/11 was spawned. Arrogantly, we helped bring it down. Read the actual events and actions taken and not taken.
Yet another example of our arrogance: We have owed Turkey 11 Billion dollars for the use of their ports, roads, anchorages, airfields, etc during the first gulf war, and we have not repaid one single dime and you wonder why they denied us usage during the 2nd one? Morons.
We only act to serve our own interests. Catholics are killing protestants, etc. Your God is no better than anyone else's. Use HIM/HER as an excuse to kill others (Crusades, et al.) Disgusting use of incomplete history lessons, you all.
Build away and let freedom be the cause.
Our country has not only forgotten we are IN A STATE OF WAR but has NOT remembered the HUNDREDS of JAPANESE & GERMAN NAZI spies that WERE on American soil in 1941. the Media plays on the credance of the American 'shame game' and attempts to distort the REAL HISTORY of WHO and WHY these same people were in lock-up.
Today, there has been so many so called 'Allowable Muslim' let in to this America, Plus, those that have 'gone over the Hill' of whom WERE supposidly "The NON-violent Good Islamic FAITH(?) BELEIVERS..But caring, and embracing the American Dream"....""Good God!! If that isnt a play on words, I dont know what is.....the REAL face of these 'people' is just now surfacing
This country has still to learn to NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON THE ENEMY,,the main stream John Q. Public is being BS'd by soccer mom mentality...
What Definition of WAR has changed in the past 70 years?
this question of a MOSQUE @ grnd/zero is a NON-QUESTION...Not just No..'HELL NO..NEVER!
This question is worded as deliberate disinformation and propaganda.
They do not plan to build a new 13 story building across the street from Ground Zero. No, question does not explicitly say they are, but sure does imply it.
They plan to remodel an existing 13-story building about 2 blocks away into a community center, with an auditorium, a swimming pool, restaurants, and … oh horrors … a mosque. Why, such a thing might remind people that among the 3000 murdered were a few dozen US citizens who followed Islam, at least one of whom was a US Army vet and then current reservist.
Let them build their mosque somewhere else! There are plenty of other places for them to do so! Islamic Terrorists were at fault for the death of 3000 innocent American lives. As a U.S.Navy Veteran, I emphatically say, "HELL NO!!!". Not NOW or EVER as far as I am concerned.
Timothy McVeigh was a Christian. Does that mean that no Christian Churches should be built anywhere near the Oklahoma Federal Building's remains?
Look how many people died as a result of CHRISTIAN TERRORISM!!!
You hypocritical racists will burn in hell for your hypocrisy.
All I have seen you do in the comments is berate and name call anyone who doesn't agree with you. Everyone here has the same right as you to have their own opinion. You may not like it, and it is also your right. But you sound like you only want one opinion, yours.
Sorry to have to tell you this, but you aren't the ultimate authority, no one is, but GOD.
Frankly, no. If you have to put something up there for the PUBLIC place a NON-demoninational chapel somewhere close by. After bombing the towers into crap, now they want to rub our noses in it?
My first inclination was to say our religeous freedom beliefs should allow this mosque to be built. Then I learned of the anti-American teachings of the leader of the mosque. It is obvious that the purpose of the mosque is to thumb their nose at our country.
Deny a building permit and deport the people behind it.
Do you happen to know how many of those who were killed in the attack were of the Islamic faith? I don't, either, but I AM certain the number is greater than zero.
If we are willing to give up our Constitutionally-guaranteed freedoms, and by "our", I mean ANYONE within the jurisdiction of the United States, then the terrorists accomplished their objective.
Religious freedom having already been cited, let's look at the wording.
It's not "at" Ground Zero, it's "near." How far out do you extend the hallowed ground of a shrine? According to what I've found, it's 600 feet from GZ. If you've ever been to San Antonio, there are a lot of buildings within that range of The Alamo, which is considerd under Texas Law a "venerated object." Where do you draw the line??
this is an act of terrisim, nothing to do with religion. how dare they invoke the the name of the God of Abraham to kill innocent people. Its been to long, rebuild the twin towers bigger and better with three towers to symblise the Father, Son and the third tower as the Holy spirit thats what i think the people that died in it would like us to do, to show that we are nation that is strong and the time of morning is past but not forgotten and a symble of life not a shadow of their death. Lets get to work!
The American public has already forgotten the lesson of 9/11; so what's the big deal?
Seriously, I don't know what Mayor Bloomingberg is thinking....maybe the Islamic community was high bidder for the property??? Frankly, I feel that the families of those lost in the tragedy, and the survivors, should have the say as to whether a mosque should be sited near the Twin Towers location. I have a feeling you will hear a resounding "NO!", but their input should be honored in this case.
Dick from NC
I feel it is an indication of the true American spirit to allow the construction of an Islamic Cultural Center (and Mosque) on a site near the site of the former world trade center. There were many Muslims killed as a result of the 9/11 action as were Jews, Sikhs, Agnostics and Atheists. Our country was founded on basis religions freedom and the ability to prove some one guilty before denying them their rights. As a Vietnam Veteran, I was willing to lay down my life for my country as were (and are) many Muslims, Jews, etc. A cultural Center to explain the true tenets of Islam and not the radical rantings of misguided followers will go a long way to help us understand how we are different and also the same.
A non denominational sanctuary should be provided at (Ground Zero) for prayer or quiet reflection as a means of bringing people together. This is in keeping with our Freedom of Religion and does not favor any one sect over another.
there are plenty of places to build their mosque,
why destroy the site of our fellow americans who most were heroes that lost their lives there give our people some space for memories of their loved ones.
Do I believe a Mosque should be built near the WTC in NYC?
Of course! Why should the location matter? This would be like asking whether or not it would be OK to build a Japanese Restaurant near the Pearl Harbor Memorial, a British Embassy next to the White House, or a Vietnamese Restaurant next to the Wall.
Not every Japanese is a Fascist out to kill everybody.
Not ever Islamic believer is a Radical out to kill
Not every Vietnamese is out to kill everybody.
Just my two cents, from a New Yorker himself.
