Michael Lembhard's older brother was caught by police about 4 p.m. Wednesday after he bolted out the window of a home where he had been holed up for 10 hours. Gosford Lembhard, 26, was expected to go out the front door while family members, who had stayed with him inside the home at 57 Liberty St., left through a first-floor window. He instead hopped out the window behind his younger brother, Basil Lembhard, and tried to run.

Pit Canaries
The graph on the left shows the rate of cycling as a percentage of all journeys made in sixteen different countries. This is also known as a modal share or modal split. Australia, the USA and the UK are at the left with 1% of all journeys by bike, while Finland, Denmark and the Netherlands are on the right with 11%, 18% and 27% of journeys by bike respectively.
There is a huge difference between the numbers of cyclists you see in different countries. There is also a huge difference between their behaviours.
So, back to the question. How many cyclists do you see when you go out, and how many of them are dressed in a way that indicates that they feel they have to worry about their safety on the roads ?
Are your cyclists a small part of traffic, wearing helmets, dressed in fluorescent jackets and predominantly young and/or "sporty" ? Do your cyclists cycle "vehicularly" and identify themselves as "cyclists"? Or do you live in a location where cyclists are of all ages, both sexes, and generally ride in normal clothes with no worries about visibility ?
Cyclists are the pit-canaries of the roads. If they're numerous, dressed in ordinary clothing and wide-ranging in age you can tell that you are in a location where cycling is "normal" in society and where it is safe enough, and feels subjectively safe enough, that everyone cycles. If people feel they have to dress to be safe then this is a sign that they do not have adequate subjective safety.
It goes further. Do you see women routinely cycling alone at night ? Do children cycle long distances alone, day and night ? Do most children go to school by bike ? Do parents consider it to be safe for their children to do this ? Do those parents who do let their children cycle make them wear helmets and fluorescent clothing ? These are indicators of how subjectively and socially safe people feel and are a determinant of health of cycling in an area.
Make cycling a truly attractive thing to do and more people will do it. Here in Assen, children are regularly seen riding great distances with groups of friends. Some cycle 20 km to school in the morning and 20 km back again each evening. Take a look at a video of how children get to primary school here.
As mentioned a few days ago in "Reclaiming the streets", cyclists are also the pit-canaries of society. Societal problems can also lead to low rates of cycling. If there is a significant risk of mugging (or worse) in your area, you will see fewer cyclists. This is a problem for social safety. It is surely no co-incidence that the three countries with the highest cycling rates also have progressive social policies. You will find a very similar ranking of countries in the results of a UNICEF report summarized by the BBC with the title of "Why are Dutch children so happy ?".
Dutch infrastructure works so well to convince people to cycle that recent immigrants to this country cycle on average about as much as people who live in Finland.
The graph at the top is from John Pucher and Ralph Buehler's article "How Cycling was made Irresistible" - one of many articles referenced on our cycling articles webpage. The Dutch really have made cycling into an irresistible thing to do. Everyone cycles for at least some of their journeys.
We run cycling study tours here in the Netherlands on which we demonstrate the how it is that the Dutch have achieved their amazing high cycling modal share. We also run cycling holidays in this location, which we believe is the most pleasant in the world for cycling.
Sadly, since this blog post was originally written, the cycling rate in Denmark appears to have dropped quite sharply.

Great bit on information here, thanks! So what's the solution?

Cycling has to be made easier for people to start doing.
It's very fragile. First, note that there is a big difference between the Netherlands in first place and Denmark in second. These two countries are easily the leaders in cycling, but this is still a big enough difference that as has been noted on Copenhagenize, the Danes suffer bigger problems with such things as helmet promotion.
By the time you reach third place in the list there is not much more than a third of the cycling that you get in the Netherlands.
The thing to do is to look at those countries which have been most successful in encouraging cycling, and copy what is done there. That means NL and DK. It should be obvious, but there is really no point in copying from countries which have not achieved mass cycling. They're not doing the right thing.
It is important to elevate subjective safety, so that you make sure that people find cycling to be a pleasure. This is how you ensure that they want to take part. There is more on a similar subject on my latest blog.

I agree that in the countries which placed last something is very wrong in how cycling is promoted but could geography have anything to do with it as well?
I see from the chart that countries such as Australia, the US, and Canada rate very low. These are countries that are spread out over thousands of kms and in which the majority of people live outside cities. Geographically speaking distance doesn't explain the trouble with the UK but here too a lot of the population does live outside cities.
In the US Dutch like cycling values would be difficult. Where I live it just would not be very feasible to cycle most of the time. I would love cycling to be a way of life but at this time it would be impossible and therefore it remains as a hobby. That said I am jealous of countries such as Denmark and the Netherlands but it almost seems unrealistic to expect that cycling will ever become mainstream outside the larger cities in the US, Canada, and Australia (though I hope I'm wrong).

I agree that it's unlikely that people living on remote farms in large countries are going to start cycling for their journeys any time soon.
I read somewhere (I forget where) that in the US it is as true as in Europe that a large proportion of journeys are under 5 miles in length.
The UK does indeed have unusually low cycling levels for a Northern European country. However, I think this is because the UK has so often followed US policies, ignoring what's going on in the rest of Europe.
For instance, supermarkets in the UK tend to be built on out of town shopping centres which are unpleasant to reach by bike. Here in the Netherlands there are no out of town supermarkets (or at least none that I've ever come across). The supermarkets are all in the city, including this one, the biggest in Assen, where I took a short video of the bikes parked right inside the centre.
Design of towns here is such that there are always all facilities within a short distance that you can walk or cycle to. That reduces the average journey distance and encourages more cycling. That's the subject of a future blog.

I'm a student of John Pucher and he always comments that he finds it very interesting that the lowest cycling rates are always in English speaking countries. Same goes for obesity rates too. He wasn't so sure why that is but it definately seems to be due to some sort of common cultural link either tied by the language itself, our common lineage back to our days as English Colonies and the culture that was imported at that time or (and more likely) some combination of both.

While I feel that English speaking countries are a factor, I also believe that those countries that have an unhealthy litigation culture coupled to a Health & Safety régime run riot are the major factors, and ones which compound the class system, legal system, and investment priorities.
Without a doubt, cycling is a Litmus test of social quality.

No. In the USA, 50% of the working population commutes five miles or less to work.
- 5 March 2009 at 18:30
In Australia well over 80% of the population lives in large towns or cities. Most urban journeys are less than 5 kms - a lot of them being the drive to drop kid at school.
We just maintain this myth of the 'great brown land downunder' for our tourist industry.

'After Midnight,' 'Pacific Rim' and Gym Picks
A Broadway musical revue starring Fantasia, a spectacular robot movie on demand, a young-adult novel by Meg Rosoff and more: the week ahead in pop culture from Marshall Heyman.
ON BROADWAY: "AFTER MIDNIGHT" I wasn't sure I wanted to see this 90-minute musical revue of songs by Duke Ellington, Harold Arlen and Cab Calloway, which stars Fantasia and opens Sunday at the Brooks Atkinson Theater. But a colleague recommended it, so I went. It has some of the best dancing, costumes and singing in some time. You may want to go back weekly.
ON DEMAND: "PACIFIC RIM" This Guillermo del Toro movie, about humans who build robots to fight off aliens that come out of the sea, got short shrift this summer by critics and audiences. Who knows: Maybe people thought it was a "Transformers" copy-cat. I thought it was a hoot and deserves a second life and look.
READING: "PICTURE ME GONE," BY MEG ROSOFF No, I don't only read young-adult books. "The Goldfinch" by Donna Tartt was great. But someone in my young-adult book club last week suggested this new novel about an especially intuitive young woman who travels with her father to visit a friend of his who's suddenly gone missing. The first few chapters are terrific.
ON TV: "JA'MIE: PRIVATE SCHOOL GIRL" This series, which continues the adventures of Ja'mie King, an obnoxious teen who's played by Chris Lilley and previously appeared in "Summer Heights High," doesn't begin airing on HBO until just before Thanksgiving. But since debuting last week on ABC1 in Australia, it's started to appear on the Internet. Ja'mie likes to call something "quiche" instead of "hot." Watch Ja'mie prank Katy Perry here. It's totally quiche.
This week, I'm really in to:
1) "Shudder to Think," by Tegan and Sara from the new Matthew McConaughey movie, "Dallas Buyers Club."
2) "Tennis Court," by Lorde. A (relative) oldie but a goodie.
3) "Atlas," by Coldplay from the new "Hunger Games" sequel, "Catching Fire."
4) "Y.A.L.A." by M.I.A., which apparently stands for "You always live again," whatever that means.
5) "Counting Stars" by One Republic, because One Republic needs to be on almost every gym mix.
6) "Melodies" by Madison Beer, though I'm too embarrassed to even look up how old Madison Beer, a Justin Bieber protégé, is. OK, fine. I looked it up. She's 14.

Los Gatos painter Thomas Kinkade grew famous and wealthy for his comforting, bucolic and often spiritual paintings -- a snowy rural church on Christmas Eve bursting with light from within, a sailing ship at sea emerging from a cloud-flecked sunrise.
But the final years of his life were more tumultuous than his art would suggest.
The cause of Kinkade's death remained unknown Saturday, but the Santa Clara County Coroner's Office has scheduled an autopsy for Monday morning. Los Gatos police declined to comment Saturday about the circumstances surrounding the artist's death, referring questions to the coroner's office.
In a statement, his family on Friday night attributed the death to natural causes.
"He was kind of a bigger-than-life character," said Los Gatos Mayor Steve Rice. "The community and the art world have lost quite an individual."
The fine-art world always derided Kinkade's work as little more than commercially successful kitsch, but the massive popularity of the self-described "painter of light" allowed Kinkade to create a national network of several hundred Thomas Kinkade Signature Galleries, an empire that began to falter during the Great Recession. His Morgan Hill art company collapsed into Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2010, listing nearly $6.2 million in creditors' claims.
In Los Gatos, Kinkade was remembered Saturday for helping the community by donating his art to benefit Los Gatos High School and other local educational and police charities.
But there was also a darker side, one hinted at by Kinkade's DUI arrest near Carmel in 2010, fraud charges by two Virginia gallery owners that led to a 2006 order that Kinkade's company pay $860,000 in damages.
Still, in Los Gatos and across California, as news of Kinkade's death at age 54 spread Saturday, the painter's legions of fans flocked to buy his work.
"Today has been unbelievable," said Richard Smith, who owns Kinkade Signature galleries in Pismo Beach and Solvang on the central coast. "It's sad. I can't control what happens in life, but as far as sales go, this has been our biggest selling day in history, and I've been running galleries for 20 years."
Like many Kinkade gallery owners, Smith has seen his business selling Kinkade's art shrivel in tough economic times, as his network of 25 California Kinkade galleries was reduced to two. But Smith, who has known Kinkade personally since the mid-1990s, called the painter "a damn nice guy."
"A lot of people want to trash Thom. Let them. As far as what Thom Kinkade means to me, he was really good to me," said Smith, who said there is no mystery why an estimated 10 million homes contain Kinkade's work.
"Some people think it's marketing. I don't believe any of that. I think Thom just has a gift," Smith said. "He paints the good, and he doesn't paint the negative. Thom paints happy scenes; he paints scenes that people want to go to."
In downtown Los Gatos, painter Steve Grabowski was fielding questions Saturday from Kinkade fans at the Los Gatos Museum Gallery about whether the value of Kinkade's work would shoot up after his death. Grabowski, who knew Kinkade's work well but didn't even know he lived in the Bay Area, called Kinkade "a very highly skilled artist," but one who directed those talents toward commercial success, rather than aesthetic greatness.
"It sold well with the man on the street, but to those of us in the art community, we looked on it as Hallmark cards in a (picture) frame," Grabowski said.
Gavin Pate, of San Jose, who tends bar at the Black Watch on North Santa Cruz Avenue, sometimes wondered why a world-famous painter would want to hang out at his bar.
"We're all like nobodies," Pate said. "He was just a regular guy. Sometimes he wanted you to know (he was famous), but most times he didn't."

- CTP at every tour stop with a value of at least $30
- Various dg related prizes to be handed out at the last tour stop
- Lowest tag per available division will win 1 of the 5 prizes
- Something to make a casual round a little more competitive
- Tracking of stats for IT tournaments(I understand that this is subjective for some)
Now, the below rant could go in a different thread, but it does somewhat relate to the Iowa Tour in the fact that attendance for the IT seems be fairly low. So I am going to post it here.
I will say that I think the over abundance of tournaments has really hampered the Iowa Tour in the past. I am guessing if it is ran again next year, it will have the same issues with numbers. Now, I will say this and it is with all due respect, as I am friends with most of these guys(Not to mention they are giving of their own time and money for the sport we all love). But in my opinion the real issue is all the vendor ran tournaments. We don't need to have 14-16 tournaments in the IC/CR area. We don't need 8-10 tournaments in the QC area. I haven't seen the full tourney list for DSM yet, so I can't comment on those right now. With vendors coming out of the woodwork, are we looking at the fact that vendor ran tournaments are the culprit in the watered down competition we are seeing at local tournaments?
A few stats about old versus new. In my opinion, old was a whole lot more fun. These are straight from the pdga site.
- Attendance for this years DSM Open was 88 and a pro purse of $840.
- Attendance for the 2003 DSM Open was 205 and a pro purse of $1,875.
- Attendance for the 2012 Rumble was 73 and a purse of $1,525.
- Attendance for the 2006 Rumble was 120 and a purse of $3,680.
- Attendance for the 2012Graceland Open was 79 and a purse of $1,370.
- Attendance for the 2004 Graceland Open was 109 and a purse of $1,704.
- In 2003, we had 16 sanctioned tournaments total in the state of Iowa. In 2012 we had 39.
And all but 2 tourneys Titan does, AO, Kevin, I ran before Titan, Chase vended, either way.

Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac
Enhances security and stability.
Microsoft Office 2004 allows you to experience the beauty, power, and stability of all four Microsoft Office for Mac programs: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Entourage.
Required OS: not specified
Tags: organizing , processing , word , productivity , office , email
44 Opinions
Sorry, my mistake in the previous post: 11.6.2 is the version of Microsoft Office 2004. within the suite, MS PowerPoint is still 11.5.7 and MS Word still 11.6.1. Runnng the MS Office 2004 autoupdate will only bring MS Excel to 11.6.2.
11.6.2 is out since Oct 15, 2010
why should anybody use a software written in a language non-compatible with Cocoa, bloated with garbage, with 80% unnecessary for Apple OS ???
Why even to bother to have it on a Mac, and contradict to concept of Apple and Macintosh ?
Those who moved to Mac from windowz, why do you still stick with the garbage written for windowz ?
Do you forget that every piece of windowz software is written with one goal in mind - to make your computer run slow, to infest with crap to attract viruses,...?
80% of MS Office is not used by 80% of windowz users.
That's why Pages is designed with usability in mind, it's elegant and light.
The same with KeyNote and Numbers.
Even Bean is more usable than MS Word.
80% of most people need to do, can be done in iWork.
I run 2008 and it still appears under appfresh/iusethis as '2004'. In any case, it's necessary if you work in a windows-based environment. 08 is a much better version than 04, but still leaves a lot to be desired. A necessary evil, so to speak.
If you're using your Mac to interface with the business world you can pretty much forget using anything else; Mac Office 2004 isn't a great app but it's necessary. While I'm all for supporting the ongoing developmentg of open source alternatives, until they can handle tracked changes between dozens of different users over hundreds of pages I'll be using Office.
It runs well on both my PowerBook G4 1.5GHz and my iMac Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz via Rosetta. It looks goofy, however - the interface isn't Mac and it isn't Microsoft. It looks like Microsoft attempting to appear Mac (go figure!).
I use Word when I have to, although I prefer not to write in it. Sometimes I also use it to comment papers for my son. I use Excel to keep track of grades in my smaller classes. (In big classes I prefer a database like FileMaker.) My wife uses Entourage for email and some memos. Got a big scare with her database last week, but found enough user advice online to bring it back to life. See especially http://www.entourage.mvps.org/.
Having used MS Word since word 3 on PC my biggest concern is the "lifespan" of any documents created with word. Every new version comes with a new file format.

H-P Embraces Google in Entering Tablet Market
For the second time in two years Hewlett-Packard is trying to crack into the consumer tablet market. This time it's betting on a different brand of software.
H-P unveiled a seven-inch tablet called the Slate 7 during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona that runs Google Android operating system, a shift away from longtime partner Microsoft.
The computer maker's executives acknowledged the blow to the maker of Windows but said it would remain an important long-term partner. "Obviously (Microsoft) prefers we only work with them," said Alberto Torres, who leads H-P's mobility unit, in an interview. He added that "we haven't seen anything other than encouragement" by Microsoft for H-P to make more Windows tablets.
A spokeswoman for Microsoft didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Omar Javaid, a vice president in H-P's mobility unit, said that in order to be relevant in the marketplace, H-P must give consumers more choices–meaning Android. It's become a multi-operating system world, he said, noting that H-P already manufactures a laptop running Google's other operating system, called Chrome, which competes with Windows-powered PCs.
For Google's Android unit, meanwhile, H-P's move provides a new and significant partner in its effort to repeat in tablets the way Android blew past Apple in smartphone market share. The relationship also could help prevent Samsung from gaining greater control of the Android tablet market, as it has with smartphones–an issue that has Google increasingly worried.
Given H-P's scale, "Google clearly sees our potential as an important player" Torres said. A Google spokeswoman declined to comment.
By setting a $169 price tag for the device in the U.S., H-P may spur other manufacturers to aim lower, making tablets even more affordable to the masses. The Slate 7 is expected to be available at U.S. retailers in April and by May will be sold in many European and Asian countries.
At $169, Torres said the Slate 7 will be profitable, while implying it wouldn't not be a big money maker. "Our objective is to gain volume," he said.
The devices line up competitively with Google's $199 Nexus 7 and Amazon's $159 Kindle Fire tablets.
Torres added that that in the future H-P can generate more revenue and profit by selling accessories such as keyboard docks, tablet covers and other services such antivirus software, which he said was "wildly unexploited in tablets."
He said that by year's end, H-P expects to have several consumer tablets on the market and that a Windows tablet could be among them. While the Slate 7 is a pure "entertainment" device for social networking, games, watching videos and listening to music, future devices will have more features geared toward professionals who would use the device at work as well as for fun in their free time.
H-P is the No. 1 maker of desktop and laptop PCs, a category that's getting destroyed by tablet computers led by the iPad. Its first major foray into the "post-PC" world came after H-P's 2010 acquisition of Palm, maker of WebOS that powered smartphones and tablets. The products failed to get traction and were shut down in 2011.
In September 2012 Torres was hired to re-launch H-P's consumer-tablet initiative.
He inherited a core team that included engineers that had worked on hardware for WebOS devices, and he hired a leadership team. He said there were just over 100 people in the unit, though that will grow after H-P moves its Windows tablet group under Torres' control. That group makes higher-end Windows tablets that are sold directly to businesses rather than to retail consumers.
Torres said he was "surprised" that rival Dell got out of the consumer-tablet business after failing to gain traction. "It gave H-P an even bigger opportunity," he said.
Because of H-P's manufacturing expertise and connections with retailers worldwide, Torres said, "H-P has a lot of the capabilities to be successful" in selling tablets to consumers.

As an island on the western edge of Europe, Ireland is surrounded by water and rimmed by mountains, giving it a range of spectacular scenery, with verdant valleys, lush vegetation, rare flowers and unexpected palm trees. And with over 9,000 years of history, Ireland is dotted with an array of ancient monuments, dolmens, forts and castles. There are hundreds of great experiences, but reluctantly, I have pared them down to 10 to whet your appetite for a visit to the Emerald Isle.
1. Start with a Capital Caper
Dublin's Fair City is the hub of Ireland, one of Europe's most picturesque and popular capitals, dating back over 1,000 years. Medieval, Georgian and modern architecture provides a backdrop to this cosmopolitan port city, and a unique experience awaits around every corner. Step back in time at Dublin Castle, Christchurch Cathedral, or St. Patrick's Cathedral, marvel at the artistry of The Book of Kells at Trinity College, attend a classic play at the Abbey Theatre, sample a pint of Guinness at the Guinness Storehouse, or listen to the street music of the buskers on Grafton Street or in Temple Bar. More information: www.visitdublin.com.
2. Stop & Smell the Roses
County Wicklow is the Garden of Ireland, a breath of fresh air just south of Dublin, with a profusion of flower-filled glens and gardens. You can smell the roses at Powerscourt Gardens in Enniskerry – and marvel at all of the rose colors – not just red, pink, yellow and white, but blue, lavendar, and orange. Mount Usher Gardens at Ashford present a feast of rhododendrons, magnolias, camellias, eucalyptus and palms. In the heart of the county is Wicklow National Park , a carpet of wild flowers in a panoramic landscape of mountains, lakes and bogs.
3. Step Back into History
The Boyne Valley of Co. Meath is a treasure-trove of Ireland's antiquities, led by Newgrange, considered as one of the finest archaeological wonders of Western Europe and designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Built between 3500 BC and 2700 BC, it was used as a tomb in which Stone Age men buried their dead. It is estimated that it took at least 40 years to build – the equivalent of a life's work for a whole generation. Newgrange is 500 years older than the pyramids of Giza and 1,500 years older than Stonehenge. Nearby you can also walk in regal footsteps at the Hill of Tara, seat of early Irish high kings and the host of great open-air assemblies more than 2,200 years ago. Or take guided tours of mighty castles still standing – Trim Castle and Slane Castle.
4. Take a Medieval Break
For an old world atmosphere, all roads lead to Kilkenny, Ireland's medieval city, a charming and easily walkable maze of narrow streets, cobbled lanes and ancient slipways. The centerpiece is Kilkenny Castle, dating back to 1192, with a striking façade of huge towers and battlements edging the banks of the River Nore. At the opposite end of town is St. Canice's Cathedral, founded as a monastery in the 6th century and re-built in the 13th century. It is the second-longest of Ireland's medieval cathedrals.
5. Kiss the Blarney Stone
"Did you kiss the Blarney Stone?" is a question that you will likely be asked if you visit Ireland. It is one of Ireland's most popular visitor attractions, so be sure to include it in your plans. Head to Blarney Castle at Blarney, County Cork, Ireland's largest county, on the southwest coast. Located five miles west of Cork City, Blarney Castle was built c. 1446 and the famous stone is at the top of the square keep (via over 120 curved stone steps). In order to kiss it, visitors must climb the steps and then lie down on the parapet and bend backwards. It sounds dangerous but the area is fully protected and a trained guide directs all the kissing. The hardest part is climbing up and down the steps. But, if you do, legend says that you will receive the gift of eloquence!
6. Ride in a Jaunting Car
For an Ireland experience you'll never forget, hop on board a traditional horse-drawn jaunting car in the Killarney National Park, a 25-square-mile area of unpolluted lakes and car-free unspoiled scenery. The jaunting cars, which travel on off-road designated paths, are synonymous with Killarney, sort of what cable cars are to San Francisco or gondolas to Venice. The driver, known as a jarvey, is both a guide and storyteller (and with encouragement, he'll sing you a song as well). Besides the clip-clop of the horse and the jarvey's gentle voice, all you'll hear is the birds and the whisper of the wind. Killarney is one of Ireland's great beauty spots - edged by the Atlantic, surrounded by Ireland's tallest mountains, and warmed by the Gulf Stream breezes of the southwest coast.

Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi will hold a dedication ceremony for the new Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center on Tuesday, June 14, at 10 a.m. on the Momentum Campus near the Nile Drive and Ennis Joslin Road intersection.
The $2.4 million center was made possible in part by a $500,000 gift from Corpus Christi attorney Thomas J. Henry. The complex includes 12 tennis courts built to NCAA specifications with the top-of-the-line Musco lighting system, an exterior public address system, security fence and a 220-car parking lot.
"The University's tennis program is consistently among the nation's collegiate elite and with the opening of this center we now have a facility that is equal to that standing," said Dr. Flavius Killebrew, president and CEO of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. "Thomas J. Henry has long been a supporter of the Corpus Christi community and by stepping up to address a critical need of our athletics program he has helped create a facility that is among the best in the Southland Conference."
Henry is a long-time supporter of the Islanders' athletic programs which competed as an independent from 1998 until the University joined the Southland Conference in 2006. Since then, the Islanders men's tennis team has dominated the SLC, winning four-straight conference championships and three of the last four conference tournaments.
"Since the start of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi's NCAA sport's program, I have been involved in helping them progress their vision," said Henry. "Our community benefits from a university that believes in growth, and through the University's leadership, I have seen them expand at an exceptional rate. The Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center is only a portion of a larger endeavor and I am proud to support the University on this venture," Henry continued. "Corpus Christi is my home, and I am honored to be part of the future of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi and the Corpus Christi community."
Last season, the Islanders men became the first team to sweep the SLC postseason honors, winning "Player of the Year," and "Newcomer of the Year" and "Freshman of the Year" awards. In addition, Coach Steve Moore was named the "Coach of the Year" for the fifth straight time.
"This is truly an elite NCAA Division I tennis facility and it will uplift our team in every area imaginable from team morale to recruiting" said Moore. "An athletic facility of this grand scale is an incredible source of pride for our city and our University. The excitement among the players, coaches and everyone associated with our teams is at an all-time high."
Since joining the SLC, the women's team is also on the rise. This year the Islanders posted a 7-4 record for a best-ever fourth-place showing and finished the season with 10-or-more wins for the fourth straight year.

EAGLE-VAIL - Greens grown at the Eagle-Vail Community Garden will soon appear on the menus at Vin48, Grouse Mountain Grill and Splendido, as restaurant staff take to the soil this summer and tend to raised garden beds to grow their own specialty items.
"We'll grow squash blossoms because chef likes to stuff them with goat cheese, a couple different kinds of greens, like beet greens, mustard greens, bitter greens that go well with braised meats," said Collin Baugh, owner of Vin48. "I'll also plant seven different kinds of sunflowers for vases this fall."
Grouse Mountain Grill have committed to two raised beds at the Eagle-Vail garden, and Executive Chef David Gutowski said most of his kitchen staff had a garden as kids and are excited to start growing again.
"We love the farmers that we're working with, but it's fun to grow your own, even something as simple as a string bean, to know that we grew that string bean, to have that personal connection with the food your serving is something cool and different for us," Gutowski said.
Closing in on the final building stages, this summer marks the Eagle-Vail garden's first growing season. Organized by a core committee and built entirely by volunteer hands, when finished the garden will boast 60 four-by-eight-foot raised beds, 12 four-by-sixteen-foot "corporate" beds, set aside for businesses and organizations, and communal gardening areas, including demonstration gardens to host educational workshops.
A whopping 43 people have signed up for a raised bed this first year and only one of the corporate beds remains available. The high participation rate reflects a trend of communities across the country turning to neighborhood gardens both for a food source and a sense of community.
Next to the restaurants, Salvation Army will grow in four of the large corporate beds. The garden has partnered with the non-profit to host volunteers who will mentor Salvation Army families and together learn to grow their own food. They will share in the work and share in the harvest and any extra fresh produce will go back to the food bank.
"We are so excited to offer our clients the opportunity to grow their own food and to share their gardening expertise with us," said Tsu Wolin-Brown, director of the Vail Valley Salvation Army, who is working on starting a community garden specifically for the Salvation Army and food bank in Avon. "This is a terrific start to an entire network of community gardens throughout the valley and promises to promote healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle."
The communal areas and education aspect of the garden project received a boost this past spring when the garden committee received a grant from the Colorado Garden Show. The Eagle-Vail garden was the only Eagle County organization out of 47 statewide to receive a grant. The money will go toward shrubs, edibles and native perennials for the perimeter areas and demonstration garden, as well as educational signage to communicate all that a garden has to teach.
"We have supported the horticulture industry in Colorado for more than 30 years and look forward to delivering these much-needed funds every year," said Jim Fricke, Colorado Garden Show executive director. "We couldn't be more excited to support The Eagle-Vail Community Garden. They are a true asset to their community and we hope this grant helps them reach their gardening goals."
One goal is for the garden to serve not just as a place to grow food but a true community gathering space. The garden's calendar is filled with events, like workdays, workshops, fundraisers and even yoga, in hopes to attract a wide range of people to the site.
Eagle Valley Land Trust has partnered with Revolution Power Yoga to bring Yoga +Land to the garden every second and fourth Saturdays in June, July and August. The free classes will take place in the grassy park at the garden.
"The land trust has a goal to connect people to the land, and what better way to do it than yoga at a community garden right in our own backyard?" said Jason Denhart, director of communications and development at the land trust. "Revolution Power Yoga will also have a dedicated teacher for kids on those Saturdays, so the whole family can come out and practice."
Denhart and his wife, Farrah, are also garden members and have already planted beets, radishes, carrots and brussel sprouts in their raised beds.
Master Gardener Jean Couture Dziekan, who serves on the garden's organizing committee and as a garden steward, said it's inspiring to see so many different people lend a hand to make the project and its goals a reality.
"It fills my heart with joy and happiness, and I'm so proud to be a part of it," Dziekan said. "I'm so impressed all these people are coming together to do this ... it makes you wonder why it didn't happen sooner. It's just such a wonderful thing."

Change to layout? 20130218@11:46
Looks like they are changing the layout again - now has a popularity setting rather than stars and it also seems that posts/threads have gone missing.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Well, positives are, if they have taken the time to change the layout, its unlikely they will be closing the boards, which means we can all continue to chew the proverbial fat a little longer!
I couldn't give 2 hoots regarding the star system, did any of us ever really use it?
Regarding posts disappearing, thats annoying! and if Yahoo should ensure that is avoided at all costs. Whats the point in taking the time to construct a point for one of their IT geeks to remove it! (no offence or harm is ain at IT geeks), they are and exceptionally useful group of people when they're not discussing world of warcraft or quantum phyiscs. I digress, as per!

I don't like it, looks more amateur-like to me and feels like they've put in acres of advertising space. But I'm a miserable sod, I don't like change unless I instigate it! Looks like they've just brought the style into line with the slightly different news article format.
I suspect the boards will be quieter for a few days while we adjust to it, then we'll forget it's ever been different.

Local group to grant wishes for elderly
Published: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 8:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 8:45 p.m.
A new local nonprofit group wants people to know the elderly have wishes too.
The first Louisiana chapter of Twilight Wish Foundation has started operating in Houma.
"Basically, they grant wishes for the elderly," said Todd LeBlanc, the chapter's president. "(The foundation) has granted wishes as simple as someone needing a new pair of eyeglasses to travel destinations and whatever the case may be."
The Twilight Wish Foundation grants wishes to those older than 68 with an annual income less than 200 percent of the poverty level or who are permanent residents of a nursing home.
The new chapter is the first in the southeast with the closest chapter in Dallas, LeBlanc said.
The organization is reaching out to nursing homes and parish councils on aging for its first wish-granting opportunity.
"I think it is important because there are a lot of seniors out there who don't have anyone who will care or be concerned for them," LeBlanc said.
The local chapter will choose the most fitting wish and submit it to the national office's "wish committee" that decides which wishes get granted.
The organization is looking for volunteers to help with fundraising and wish granting, LeBlanc said.
"The elderly have done a lot for our communities," LeBlanc said. "Sometimes just seeing a smile and making them laugh; the gratification is great. It's letting them know people care."
Since 2003, the Twilight Wish Foundation has granted wishes from about 1,870 seniors through volunteers, corporate and community involvement, and donations.
For more information on the foundation, visit www.twilightwish.org, email LeBlanc at email@example.com or call 381-9545.

New York Town Completes $1 Million in Energy Efficiency, Water Projects
August 29, 2013
The New York Power Authority (NYPA) on August 27 announced the completion of two energy efficiency projects that will save the Village of Ossining $123,000 a year in energy and water costs at municipal filtration plants. More efficient fuel oil use will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the operations center by more than 15%, while enhanced water-flow control will ensure that the amount of water being processed by the village is closely calibrated with the end-use needs of its residents. NYPA provided $1 million in low-cost financing for the initiatives that began construction in June 2012. See the NYPA press release.

- Kelly Horwitz v. Cason Kirby ruling (PDF - 285kb)
Judge rules Kelly Horwitz's election challenge to proceed at trial
Published: Thursday, October 17, 2013 at 7:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 17, 2013 at 7:14 p.m.
A legal challenge to the results of the District 4 Tuscaloosa City Board of Education election is going to trial after all.
Tuscaloosa County Circuit Court Judge James Roberts ruled Thursday that incumbent Kelly Horwitz had met the legal requirements of Alabama law to move forward with her challenge.
In the same order, Roberts dismissed a motion on behalf of board member-elect Cason Kirby to disallow the challenge.
The trial is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. on Oct. 31.
"We are very pleased with the ruling and look forward to having the opportunity to expose the truth of what happened in this election," Virginia Buck, one of the attorneys representing Horwitz, said in an email to The Tuscaloosa News.
Attempts to reach Kirby's attorney Thursday night were unsuccessful.
Kirby, a political newcomer, beat Horwitz 416-329 in the Aug. 27 municipal election.
However, Horwitz raised claims of massive voter fraud involving University of Alabama students immediately after the election.
In court Tuesday, her lawyers presented a list of nearly 400 names of people who allegedly voted illegally. Most were UA students who either did not meet residency requirements or voted in return for a promise of free drinks or concert tickets, her attorneys said.
Roberts ruled that the list met the notice requirements of Alabama law by providing the number of alleged illegal votes and the names of the voters.
He rejected the claim of Kirby's attorney that the case should be dismissed because Horwitz did not produce any affidavits or deposition testimony to support the claim that the votes were illegal.
Kirby is due to take office on Nov. 4. Should the election results stand, Horwitz attended what would be her final board meeting this week.

Decorate a box and have kids fill it with favorite things. Long after they've outgrown the box, you'll have a keepsake reminder for them.
Look for clues with Blue, weekdays on Nick Jr.
Help your child select the paper she would like to use to cover the box. Cut out pieces large enough to cover the box and the lid. Wrap the lid and the outside of the box in paper, but don't secure it in place. (Just check that you have enough paper and that your child likes how it looks.) Remove the paper and use the glue stick to cover the surface of the box and lid with glue. Rewrap the box and the lid in the paper and secure any loose edges with sticky tape.
With a pencil, help your child trace the bottom of the box and the lid on construction paper or felt. Cut out the paper or felt and use these pieces to line the bottom of the box and the inside of the lid. Secure them with the glue stick. Line the inside of the box the same way.
Help your child make a nameplate for her box by writing her name on a piece of colored paper with crayons or colored markers, cutting it out, and gluing it to the top of the box. Squeeze glue around the cut edge of the nameplate and have your child sprinkle glitter on top. After the glue dries, shake off the excess glitter onto a piece of newspaper and return it to the glitter container.
To make sure the box will close when you're done, put the lid on before your child starts decorating it. Kids can add stickers and glue on pom-poms, felt shapes, pipe cleaners, glitter, and Blue's Clues coloring pages like Color Blue,  Blue's Paw Prints,  Blue's Rhyming Storybook, and Blue's "Favorite Things" Journal. Talk with your child about what favorite things she'd like to keep in the box and encourage her to draw pictures of her favorite things to cut out and glue to the box.
After the box has dried completely, have your child place her favorite things inside. For example, pictures of friends and special relatives, favorite small stuffed animals, toys and games, art supplies--even a piece of her old security blanket.

AUM… In our last 24 hours on the planet we are all mystics. At that time, it's just a matter of whether you are a happy mystic or a sad mystic. If you have no vocabulary for the changes at that time, you will feel/be lost. If you have no mystical experience with which to relate — you will be swept along by the winds of (your) fate. Time to close your eyes to this world. It is time to meditate on your spiritual rebirth. Look for the Sagittarius New Moon around moonset on Moonday, and "see" what your dreams are worth. AUM…

The new Aquarian-Age astrology is/will be ruled by the planet Uranus (yeah, I've heard that joke before). Traditional astrology, prior to the Uranian "discovery" in 1750, was ruled by Saturn, and was more of a study of chronology, helping to determine a more harmonious way of working through nature's cycles. The new Uranian astrology is/will be believed to be a path — and tool — toward forming a more creative psychological outlook. The next 4 months afford opportunities for some of the best usage of astrological info; from Scorpio (the sign ruling enchantment and the mysteries of life and death), through Aquarius (the sign ruling the unusual, the unexpected, the eccentric, the bizarre and any occult advantage).

Welcome to the sign of Scorpio, where we study the fruit of our meditations on the regenerating mysteries of life and death. My departed mother came to me under this very pomegranate tree, and presented me with the apples of her experience. In a strong voice, she answered my questions concerning life and death. She said, "You are guided, my son," reminding me that even though I feel like everyone's father, I'm also everyone's child. And then she said, "When death is nothing, nothing is nothing. Finally, we are free." This be the truth, from my mother and me.

Naugatuck outduels Wolcott in overtime on new field
NAUGATUCK — What a way to christen a new field.
Naugatuck High quarterback Jason Bradley led a fourth-quarter comeback and scored the game-winning touchdown on a 3-yard run in overtime to lead the Greyhounds to a 42-36 victory over Wolcott before an estimated 1,500 fans at the new Veterans Field.
"It was the greatest football game I've played in my life," said Bradley, who accounted for nearly 300 total yards in a back-and-forth affair. "So many people made big plays on both sides. It was unbelievable."
Wolcott scored the game-tying touchdown with a min-ute and a half to play in regulation, but Naugy's Ryne Griesenauer blocked Joe Keeley's PAT attempt to keep the game tied at 36.
"I told my boys to get in there and cause pressure, and that I would get the block," the 6-foot-5 Griesenauer said. "Big players step up in big moments, and I knew I had to do it."
The teams traded interceptions at the end of the fourth quarter, after which Naugatuck (2-0) won the
See NAUGY, Page 6B
coin toss and chose to start the Kansas tiebreaker on defense.
Although the Greyhounds had little success stopping Wolcott (1-1) in the second half, they stopped Vincent Gambino and the Eagles offense on four straight plays, including an incompletion on fourth-and-goal from the 5-yard line.
"I knew after the first play that we were going to stop them," Bradley said of his defense. "Once we got the stop, there was no way we were not getting into the end zone."
Tom Douty gained 2 yards on Naugy's first play in overtime before Bradley picked up 5 on a keeper. He called his own number again on third down and converted, following center P.J. Murphy into the end zone for the game-winning score.
"We have Jason Bradley," Naugatuck coach Craig Bruno said of the difference in the game. "He's so tough and he knows what to do on every play."
Naugatuck led 16-3 late in the first half when Gambino found Adam Santopietro with a 19-yard touchdown pass to cut the deficit to 16-10 at the break.
From there, the seesaw battle started. Wolcott scored on its first drive after halftime on a 3-yard hookup between Gambino and Jay Pelletier to take a 17-16 lead, only to have Naugy's Bryan Coney score on the ensuing drive when he recovered a fumble in the end zone to make it 22-17.
The Eagles followed with Gambino's third touchdown pass, an 11-yarder to Jayson Matos. But they questionably attempted a two-point conversion and failed; a kick by Keeley, who hadn't missed to that point, could have made a difference at game's end.
Gambino, who totaled 333 yards and five touchdowns by himself, established himself with a remarkable 50-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter when he hurdled a defender at the line of scrimmage and took off to make it 30-22 Wolcott.
"Vince is an extremely gifted athlete and a great quarterback," Bradley said. "The fact that we put this show on here tonight is unbelievable. They made play after play."
Naugy rallied. Griesenauer caught a 12-yard touchdown pass from Bradley to make it 30-28, and after the Hounds took over at the Wolcott 11 later in the fourth on a poor punt, Douty scored from 8 yards out to give Naugy a 36-30 lead.
