LAKE REGION- Fireworks filled the sky over northern Lake Wallenpaupack right on schedule for July 4. Honesdale's fireworks were enjoyed Sunday, July 6, delayed due to rain. The weather also led to cancellation of Hawley's parade on July 4, with heavy rain that morning. Although announced on the radio, some people were still waiting on the sidewalk for the parade. Hawley's Carnival, however went on as planned, with rain interrupting only on Thursday night July 3rd. Police Chief Danel Drake said that the carnival, while bigger this year, is hoped to be even more expanded in 2015. Greene-Dreher Volunteer Fire Association held their parade (and picnic) Sunday under sunny skies.

A new and happy relationship and a Christmas have bought this back on so I've started Exante to shift a stone... And a half. I'm no stranger to meal replacement and have the will power of a Trojan but I've found that the less I have to lose the more light headed/Ill I feel doing total meal replacement!! So today, I've added a (very small) bit of chicken breast to mushroom risotto... Your thoughts? Good or bad idea? Does anybody else add extras to packs? Thanks all in advance!

I thought this was a cute project by Jack Holt which was up on Illustration Served. The Illustration brief was to make a fan zine about a person who you know or don't know very well but admire in some way - they cannot be famous. Not quite sure who this was about but I really loved his style.

Garlic S'mores Goldfish Crackers
My blog guest host today is my grandson Gavin, who is currently home-schooling himself in the culinary arts. He feverishly works his tidy whitey didy off every day to come up with a new and tasty snack for all to enjoy. Today he will show us how to make garlic s'more's goldfish crackers. (YUM?)
With limited vocabulary, he uses visual aids and grunts to teach the thousands who flock to see him perfect his art. Each recipe begins with the selection of proper cooking utensils and we see him here evaluating this bowl for its capacity,
its sturdiness,
and it's ability to showcase his finished recipe properly.
Chef Gavin uses only quality ingredients and demonstrates here his penchant for Penzey's Spices. However, he insists that the success of this particular recipe necessitates that the Penzey's garlic powder bottle be completely empty of its contents. (I've learned to never question his procedures... it makes him cry)
Step 1: Gather one snack container of smore's goldfish crackers and one empty jar of Penzey's garlic powder (Gavin's instructor stands behind him for guidance and any questions Gavin may have.)
Step 2:
Remove the lid from the empty Penzey garlic powder bottle. (again with the instructor nearby in case of emergency)
Step 3:
Shove entire empty garlic powder bottle into snack container.
That's it! In just three easy steps and with only two (really only one) ingredient, you too can have a special homemade snack for the day! Please feel free to write me with any questions regarding this recipe. Any mistakes and/or misinterpretations are my own.
Now here's a video to see the chef in action:

exclusive FREE MORAL AGENTS - CD and vinyl at SFR
Did you see the Free Moral Agents on tour with me? Well if you didn't then pretend that you did. A psych-rock style type something or other (kill me with the labels already) 6 piece band fronted by Mendee Ichikawa. The pet project of Ikey Owens of the Mars Volta. Their drummer's mom is a wild woman who stole the mic at TWO of our shows and made the crowd go wild. Their limited edition CDs & vinyl are HERE!
This material won't last long as their 1st official album is slated for a fall release via Chocolate Industries.

It is very weird to think back to that performance, which is when I first met them, after having done a full tour with them. At SXSW last year they didn't have a drum set. And at the time I was like, "So what? It's all good. Just work around it." And they did work around it, super well. But now I realize how crucial the drummer is to their music and their live set, so I have a better understanding of why they were so bugged out. 2MEX will be touring with them in September. They work so well together. I'm not sure if they're doing their sets together but I'm sure they'll do Look Daggers material if nothing else.

That simple expression is just one example of how this year's Sundance Film Festival will see a dramatic upsurge in music as a thematic element and as a featured performer. It's a sign that the venerable indie film festival is also becoming more and more of a film and music festival.
There's evidence in the variety of films that take music themes as their subject, ranging from Grohl's "Sound City" to "Narco Cultura," "Muscle Shoals," "Pussy Riot - A Punk Prayer," "History of the Eagles Part 1" and opening-night film "Twenty Feet From Stardom." At the 2013 festival, music geeks will have as much to savor as film geeks, with scheduled events and concerts, including one being billed as the biggest musical event in Sundance history.
There has been a "recent surge in people making films about music, and we've been drawn to the films that examine the spirit of creativity in music," said Trevor Groth, the Utah native who is the festival's director of programming. "It ties very naturally to independent film, which has a lot of the same impulses."
Which is why it seems there are more and more music-related films every year at Sundance. "Robert Redford has always loved exploring the intersection of different art forms," Groth said.
While Sundance films about music are nothing new, audiences' appetite for them seems to be increasing.
Exhibit one is last year's "Searching for Sugar Man," which chronicled the efforts of two Cape Town fans, Stephen "Sugar" Segerman and Craig Bartholomew Strydom, to find out if the rumored death of American musician Rodriguez was true. It screened to rapturous applause on the opening night of the festival and ended up winning the Special Jury Prize and the Audience Award for best international documentary.
Sundance programmers noticed. "Music creates an atmosphere in which a film can be experienced and helps allow the audience get lost in the film," said Peter Golub, director of the Sundance Institute Film Music program. "Any music that is wed to a film alters the way that film is perceived."
Golub reels off a long list of films with soundtracks and songs that have forever seared themselves into filmmakers' heads: "Patton," "To Kill a Mockingbird," "The Shawshank Redemption," "Doctor Zhivago," "Cinema Paradiso," "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly," "E.T.," "Schindler's List."
Then there are classical Golden Age musicals, such as "Singin' in the Rain," "West Side Story" and "An American in Paris," or more recent musicals such as "Chicago," "Dreamgirls" and "Les Misérables."
For bringing attention to indie music, special attention should be paid to former Rolling Stone writer and director Cameron Crowe, who introduced grunge to mainstream America though 1992's "Singles."
Crowe also helmed 1989's "Say Anything ," which includes one of the finest contemporary musical moments in film: When Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack) holds up a boombox playing Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" outside Diane Court's (Ione Skye) bedroom window.
Enter Dave Grohl, Lynryd Skynyrd, The Eagles » One of the most highly anticipated films to open at Sundance this year is the directorial debut of former Nirvana drummer and current Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl. His "Sound City" documentary chronicles the rise and fall of the famed Los Angeles music studio where classic albums such as Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" and Nirvana's seminal "Nevermind" were recorded. The movie also serves as a philosophical treatise hailing the indie spirit of people making music together in a live setting, rather than in front of a computer.
The new documentary "is the most important thing I've ever done," Grohl said in a phone interview. "All along, our goal was Sundance, from Day 1. It seemed like the perfect place to be."
Along with the film's premiere on Jan. 18, the Park City Live venue will host a sold-out performance of Dave Grohl's Sound City Players. This first incarnation will feature musicians featured in the documentary, including Stevie Nicks, John Fogerty, Rick Springfield, Alain Johannes, Chris Goss and Corey Taylor, as well as Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick, Lee Ving of Fear and Brad Wilk of Rage Against The Machine.
Also taking the stage will be a cast of Grohl's current and former bandmates including Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear. Smear, Novoselic and Grohl are the surviving members of Nirvana, and their reunion, alone, would make for a historic evening.
Another music-related film at this year's festival is "Muscle Shoals," a documentary from another first-time director, Greg "Freddy" Camalier, which explores the history of the small Alabama town and the area's outsize impact on modern music. The film includes interviews from Bono, Mick Jagger, Gregg Allman, Aretha Franklin and Alicia Keys, focusing on the studios where songs such as "Brown Sugar," "When a Man Loves a Woman" and "I'll Take You There" were recorded. The locale and house band were also immortalized by a lyric in Lynyrd Skynyrd's classic song "Sweet Home Alabama."
"They don't call it a universal language for nothing," said Camalier, explaining the reason to make a film with music as its thematic thread.
Then there's "History of The Eagles Part 1," a music documentary with an impressive filmmaking pedigree. Directed by Alison Ellwood, the biopic is produced by Alex Gibney, who directed "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room," nominated in 2005 for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, and "Taxi to the Dark Side," which won the documentary-feature Oscar in 2007. His other films include "Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer" and "Casino Jack and the United States of Money." This year's festival also will screen Gibney's "We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks," another buzzed-about documentary.
The Eagles documentary has a resonance because the band's music served as a soundtrack to the 1970s and beyond, Ellwood said. "When people listen to Eagles songs, people didn't just listen to The Eagles, they did things to The Eagles," she said. "People have memories of iconic musical things in their lives."
For example, she remembered the first time she ever ate sushi. She was sitting in a sushi bar, listening to "Hotel California" playing on the radio while chefs were tapping their wooden mallets to Don Henley's drumming.
Music and film are inextricably linked, Gibney said. "You want to feel music, not talk about it," he said. "That's what cinema does at its best."

Pauline-Glenn Springs girl takes title role in 'Annie'
Biggest problem for 4th-grader is getting her sleep
Published: Thursday, September 5, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at 8:12 p.m.
GREENVILLE — This 10-year-old actress is always "fully dressed" with a smile.
Photo Galleries
Georgia Kay Wise, a fourth-grader at Pauline-Glenn Springs Elementary School, will win your heart the first few minutes she's around.
While the young actress can sing and dance, she's also a girl who loves to camp and to play in the mud with her cousins. She giggles as she tells the story of coming home from rehearsals one afternoon and minutes later was covered in mud.
This weekend she'll turn on the charm as Annie in the S.C. Children's Theatre production of "Annie."
Paired with nationally syndicated radio host Mike Gallagher, who plays Daddy Warbucks, Wise said rehearsals are more fun than she could have ever expected.
"When he's on the radio, he's Mike Gallagher," Wise said. "But when he's on the stage, he's just a regular guy doing a theater show."
Wise said that Gallagher is really good at the singing parts and makes it a lot of fun for the cast working with him.
"He's like a really good friend," Wise said. "It's a lot of fun working with him."
But her favorite part of the show is singing "Tomorrow."
Wise said she had watched the movie "Annie" over and over. She had performed in the show a few years ago, as Molly. And, she had memorized all of the songs.
"I love being Annie," Wise said. "I love singing 'Tomorrow' and 'It's the Hard Knock Life.' "
Wise said she's has made some new friends during this show. She said she loves the scenes with the other orphans. And she said when they sing, "It's the Hark Knock Life," they get to have a little fun, as they give each other a little shove during the musical number.
"These are girls my age," Wise said. "We've become friends, so it's more like we are just playing, than acting. We get to act like we don't like each other at all. It's hilarious."
Wise, who finished a national tour of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" in January, said she's had more lines to memorize, songs and choreography to learn, but said the toughest part is finding time to sleep.

First set had a nice average Alumni>LTJP. McGrupp was also kind of average and had its end chopped going into the weird transition to Who Do We Do as again the parts of Fluff are taken back apart and interspersed throughout the show. Not sure why the boys decided to do that in the fall of 89? Anyways that led awkwardly into an average Golgi. Hood was pretty nice and gave way to another chunk of music with a weird Chase segment. This ended into a nice rocking Wilson. Foam was average; this one is still sort of new and really hard to play. Ya Mar was a nice groovy break, Oh Kee Pa > Suzy is starting to become a regular thing and these were both good. Antelope was a rocking closer to a pretty good first set.
Second Set starts off with a solid Bag. This one is starting to get its signature rock ending. My Sweet One is still new and a little tentative, but good. Wow!! The first version of Reba is really different. The arrangement is all over the place, including a disco segment! Dinner was good and was strangely followed by Bundle of Joy, then into a rocking Possum. YEM was pretty average for this time period, but includes a nice end Jam and great vocal jam. Fish ironically struggles to remember the lyrics to Brain, complete with a vacuum solo. Mike gets a late second set call with a lazy, laid back Contact. Great funky brake down in the middle. Melt was pretty weak, but its still pretty new also. Lizards also lacked a little, but it was late and they sounded a little tired.
A rocking Highway to Hell closes up the night nicely.
Pretty rocking show for fall of 89, check this one out just for the first Reba!

National Geographic goes 'Inside Straight Edge'
Straight edge? You know, the don't drink, don't smoke subculture of usually younger middle-to-upper class white males connected with the philosophy of abstaining from what they call poisons—everything from the consumption of illegal chemicals such as ecstasy, speed and pot to legal substances such as alcohol, cigarettes and sometimes caffeine.
Sounds like a parent's dream? Not so fast.
The National Geographic Channel explores straight-edge crews in an explosive documentary called "Inside Straight Edge" airing 10 p.m. Wednesday, April. 9.
The program also airs 1 a.m. Thursday, April 10 and 4 p.m. Sunday, April 13 on NGC.
The special, narrated by Sonic Youth legend Thurston Moore, touches on the handful of reported cases of straight-edge violence in Salt Lake City, Reno and even in Boston (a crew known as FSU, "Friends Stand United," allegedly assaulted drug dealers and users on Lansdowne Street).
For the record, a large majority of those who claim "edge" are good kids with a strong passion for hardcore music. However, like any group, there are a few bad apples in the bunch.
Back in 2006, I interviewed Ian MacKaye, founder of Dischord Records in Washington D.C. and former frontman of the punk band Minor Threat, about the term he coined. He wrote the song "Straight Edge," however, he doesn't claim responsibility for the entire movement.
When asked if he had issues with the contemporary evolution of the lifestyle, MacKaye shoots back.
"You have the five percent who are fundamentalists," he says. "And, within that five percent, you have even a smaller group that has a fascination with violence."
MacKaye continues: "Their issue is not sobriety. It's with violence. People with violence in the belly are in search of a trigger and way to get the violence out."
The outspoken musician is referring to the handful of militants who claim edge—called "hate edge"—where the straight-edge crews attack people for smoking or sometimes liken themselves as soldiers of sobriety.
Near the end of the documentary that airs tonight, a Boston-area eighth grader talks about the violent side of the movement.
"We're not going to go out and kill people, but I'm not going to tolerate drugs around me and the ones that I love," he adds.

I think it's always fascinating to look at the number of ways a seemingly good idea can be corrupted and the ways that a corrupt idea can be displayed as good. There are pretty much an infinite number of either of these. Maybe they should throw in a clause - against drugs, drink, sex, VIOLENCE. For tolerance of differences and ideas that contradict our own. I'm pretty sure there's a loophole I don't see in there too.
THANK YOU! straight edge kids are so ill. i don't wear a shirt that says i drink and smoke, keep that stuff to yourself, i never meet nice straight edge kids, they're like born again christians, always akward, o and violent. they're like punk kids, they have no were to fit in, it's like a fraternity of either scene or scum kids. FSU should realize they cause more problems then the drugs! and retire there unintelligent society_ they are practically terrorists to the country.
Oh hell. Okay Anonymous... i'll show you a terrorist act. You have no idea what your talking about and neither does National Geographic. Shove it.
Dear Anonymous. I'm straight edge yet I don't associate myself with any form of religion at all I think it's a waste. I've never beaten up someone for doing drugs. Unless they've started shit with me. I don't even look like I'd be straight edge. www.myspace.com/atticusmatticus. I'm not your typical hardcore kid. I mostly listen to upbeat positive music. Haha just look for yourself. I've got a ton of friends from all different races, colors, religions, beliefs, and style. People around here accept and know that I'm straight edge, and they're totally fine with it. SOME of the kids did some stupid things and we all get a bad rep for it, it's horrible. I can assure you most of us have good intentions and most of us don't shove our beliefs down peoples throats or beat people up. I for one hate gangs and ganging up on people. It just shows weakness. Trust me, we're not all like that at all. It's like saying all rappers smoke pot. When there are straight edge rappers like Sage Francis. Maybe you should learn more about what you run your mouth about before you speak ya know? There's no need to be discriminative. Think about it.
This comment is directed to everyone who believes that straight edge kids are almost always violent. That is NOT the case, sure i got some boys down in reno that tear it up on kids that smoke and drink ect. but there are also young adults like myself that are what you call posi(Positive). Im not going to beat around the bush though, straight edge has gotten a bad rep over the years but then again can you really blame us? I was extremely ridiculed for my beliefs when i was teen. It can really drive you over the deep end and lash out. But for the most part (as the commentor said above me) that for the most part straight edge kids are good, positive people.
you have to understand, theres good and bad things about every group.
yes theres kids that beat people up and kill and that IS wrong but most of us are just people trying to live a clean life.
and to those of you that have been out casted or treated rudely by an edge person i apologize
its just like cops, most of us trust them and beleive they are good people
but of course there's a few of them that abuse their power and blackmail and all of that junk.
no group is absolutely perfect.
Maybe us sXe kids don't want to be part of your community. The real issue here is that somehow ingesting mind altering substances has become the societal norm. I say fuck that. Fuck social drinking, and fuck all the bitches that just go along with it because it's the average thing to do. If society has a problem with sXe, the I have a problem with society. Fuck this shit.
I completely support edge kids beating down drug dealers. Its better to have a few clean kids fuck up a drug dealer than to have a drug dealer fuck up a few clean kids.
these kids are the biggest bunch of faggots i've ever seen.it's only a matter of time till the real gangsters find them and bash them.straight edge= faggot meet up partys
I thought documentaries were supposed to be "objective"? All I saw going on here was alot of horn tooting from a group of little kids from Anytown USA posturing for the camera. It is phenomenal how far SxE has devolved from it's origins. Thanx for making my hometown the "pivotal front-line" for the SxE movement. Reed High school in Sparks Nevada? OMFG get a grip. I would have been far more interested in seeing how this is being played out in Philadelphia or Los Angeles than scrubsville. The first 30 minutes should have been spent on more history or SxE or the entire documentary focused on what the "SxE" turned cop does on a day to day basis. Nice to carefully omit "Club Underground" as the downtown venue btw. All these gang minded ROBOJOCKS need is a Fuhrer to give them orders. Founders of the SxE movement have dissociated themselves with this farce. These kids have nothing to do with any "movement" whatsoever. Likening themselves to Frat Jocks was worth a good chuckle. National Geographic should be embarrassed at this waste of time and money. I wonder if they will do an hour long "documentary" on "ICP" next and call it worthwhile? I had to turn this tripe off 5 minutes before it was over, watching 14 year olds posturing like members of the Wu-Tang clan made me almost as furious as I am at their parents. There are two kinds of people in the world, leaders and followers. Take a guess where you fall within these margins. The producer of this nugget should be sent to work on the Geraldo Rivera show for the rest of his short career. Truly misinformative, unrepresentative and ridiculous. There is far better out there.
-HARDCORE by Steven Blush comes to mind immediately.
That documentary sucked. Get in line with the rest of the "gang" oriented youths sucking up this street thug crapola sold to us by MTV and Massive Record Companies. SxE has become the ideal idiocy brainwashed from birth suburban youth the Reagan Era always wanted. Its all about controlling your impressionable minds kiddies. Next stop burning poppy fields in Afghanistan and Honduras. See it for what it is.

SAN JOSE -- The Sharks traded defenseman Dan Boyle to the New York Islanders on Thursday in exchange for a conditional fifth-round pick in the 2015 NHL draft.
If Boyle re-signs with New York before the start of the 2014-15 regular season, the draft pick becomes a fourth-round selection in the 2015 draft.
Boyle, 37, can become an unrestricted free agent on July 1 and was not going to be brought back by the Sharks. Boyle and general manager Doug Wilson could not agree on the length of a potential contract extension, and Wilson said last month he wants to rely more on younger players next season.
Reached via text message by this newspaper, Boyle declined to comment. But Boyle's agent, George Bazos, said he was unaware the Islanders were interested in the veteran defenseman until after the trade was announced.
Since then, Bazos said, Islanders general manager Garth Snow had talked with both himself and Boyle.
"We're all just at the beginning stages of everything," Bazos said.
Obviously it is in the Islanders' best interest to sign Boyle before he hits the open market on July 1, but Bazos said it was too soon to assess the chances of that happening.
"I can say Dan originally was willing to keep all options open," Bazos said, going back to last month when Boyle learned the Sharks would not be bringing him back. "Obviously the Islanders are a young, fast, exciting team. But until we really start to talk more in-depth, it'd be impossible to categorize that."
Boyle, who acquired by San Jose in a trade with Tampa Bay before the 2008 season, leaves the Sharks as the franchise leader for defensemen in goals (68), assists (201) and points (269) in 431 games played.
He has 561 points in 954 career regular-season games, and 70 points in 107 playoff games.

Franklin High graduate and former Temple running back Tim Brown was named special teams player of the week in the Canadian Football League after helping the British Columbia Lions beat Toronto 33-17 last week.
Brown, 29, had 249 return yards, with 169 yards on 10 punt returns and 80 yards on three kickoffs in spot duty for injured running back Andrew Harris. Brown's early 69-yarder on a play in which he also drew a horse-collar tackle penalty, set up B.C.'s first touchdown. Brown's 70-yard touchdown set up the game-winning field goal in the fourth.
The 5-foot-8, 190-pound veteran in his fourth year surpassed Larry Crawford's franchise career record total of 6,029 combined return yards for kickoffs, punts and missed field goals. Brown, a 2002 Franklin graduate, has 6,200 yards.

The Bay Area's housing market stumbled in May -- prime home-buying season -- as high prices and low inventory held real estate sales well below normal levels, according to a report Thursday.
Sales of single-family houses were down from the same month last year in the East Bay, Peninsula and South Bay, while prices were up, according to real estate information service DataQuick, which released the report. Prices for all types of homes were at their highest since November 2007 in the nine-county Bay Area.
"There is still some pent-up demand out there, but we can't muster enough sales to beat last year," said Andrew LePage of DataQuick. "Inventory remains one of the key reasons, but affordability has cropped up as one of the reasons as well."
Some potential buyers say they're either priced out or worn out from the competition for a relatively small number of desirable homes for sale.
Anurag Singh has decided to take a breather from home shopping. The Silicon Valley engineer said he started looking in November and December, when houses he liked were priced within his reach. But his offers kept getting trumped by higher offers.
"Then I realized it is hard to get a house in this market," Singh said.
Now, for the same type of house he was looking for late last year, prices have risen $50,000 or more, he said. "I'm still looking but not as actively as I was earlier."
His agent, Gina Saporito of Clickhome Realty in Santa Clara, said, "We still need more inventory. There's a lot of buyers out there.''
But even with sales slowing, there are still enough buyers making multiple offers for what's available to keep prices rising.
"It's a great time to be selling real estate in the Bay Area area right now," said Devin Ratoosh with Marvin Gardens Real Estate in Berkeley. "It really makes it easy for sellers when there's this much competition lining up for a house."
DataQuick reported that Contra Costa County's median sales price gained 13.8 percent from May 2013 to $479,000, while Alameda County was up 25.8 percent to $644,000.
Santa Clara County, which surpassed its peak price for existing single-family homes in April, saw a gain of 6.7 percent to $800,000, and San Mateo County was up 14.2 percent to $925,000.
Marilyn Cunningham, president of the Contra Costa Association of Realtors, said that two weeks into June, she's seeing an increase in listings of homes for sale, but they're being snapped up so quickly that inventory remains low. And prices keep rising, she said.
"It's good for sellers," she said. "They are getting their equity back. And buyers are coming out, but it's getting more difficult for them because prices are going up."
May usually sees a big boost in sales as the home-buying season gets in full swing, but the tight market and high prices have sales of all types of homes -- including condos and townhomes -- in the nine-county Bay Area down 7.5 percent from a year ago, and 17.4 percent below the May average going back to 1988, DataQuick said.
The price gains are leveling off, however, as they near their previous peaks and as buyers drop out. The year-over-year gains between May 2012 and May 2013 were much larger in all but Alameda County, according to DataQuick.
"Buyers for whatever reason are not willing to line up for a mortgage to buy a house," said Richard Calhoun of Creekside Realty in San Jose.
Some buyers just can't find their dream house at affordable prices, and prefer to wait. "I want to fall in love, I don't want to compromise," said Shawn Clark, a chip company engineer who is content to continue renting his two-bedroom home in Sunnyvale.
If prices are rising in middle-income parts of the Bay Area, they're through the roof in the wealthiest enclaves of Silicon Valley.
Wendy McPherson of Coldwell Banker in Menlo Park said recent tech company public offerings and acquisitions are creating wealthy buyers at a brisk pace. "We just had a buyer buy a $20 million property who was living in a $900,000 house," she said.
Ken DeLeon of DeLeon Realty in Palo Alto said demand is so brisk for luxury real estate that one home in Atherton sold for $14 million in three days.
"I believe we are probably hitting affordability limits," said Brett Jennings of Keller Williams in Los Gatos. His said his typical buyers are a husband and wife in tech, making a combined $240,000 a year, who still can't afford a basic home in some parts of the valley.
"When the median home price is no longer supported by the median income, we're near top," he said.

STOCKTON — Five years ago, San Joaquin County successfully sought $80 million from the state to nearly double the size of the county jail. It was a victory that brought a down payment on a plan thought to once-and-for-all fix a crowding problem that forces the jail to release some inmates early.
But the plan died, and the county turned down the money in June amid concerns it couldn't afford the roughly $70 million annual cost of running such a large jail.
Now a new plan has taken its place, and, once again, San Joaquin County officials are turning to the state for money to build a new facility for local inmates.
However, much has changed since 2008, both statewide and in the county. The shift in policy and philosophy is reflected in the latest plan to replace part of the current jail system, which officials hope is part of a larger approach to reduce overcrowding in the local jail and, maybe, be part of a long-term solution to the chronic problems with crime in Stockton and San Joaquin County.

The James Brown Music Festival is just the latest way the city has chosen to honor its most famous native son.
But while James Brown gives to the community, some are asking, "What has Augusta done for James Brown?"
And some say, "Not nearly enough."
In a News 12 Special Assignment, Jonathan Martin asks: Where is the love?
If there is one name that's synonymous with Augusta, it's James Brown. He's said to have influenced civil rights and defined what we know as R&B music today...but for a man loved by millions worldwide, it's often asked: where is the love right here in his hometown?
His name is about as big as it gets.
Known all over the world as Mr. Dynamite, the Soul Brother Number One, and, more often than not, the Godfather of Soul.
Though he's traveled the world and gained international acclaim, he's always said it loud: he's from Augusta, and proud of it.
"I was raised in Augusta, and I owe that to Augusta, and I thank God for that," James Brown has said.
Not only does Brown still live in the area, he gives back to the community each holiday season, personally delivering turkeys and toys to the needy.
Brown has received almost every music award there is...but what has Augusta--the place he's said to have put on the map--done for him?
"He is just an undervalued asset to this community," says Augusta mayor Deke Copenhaver.
In 1993, a street was named in his honor, and a year ago a statue of Brown was unveiled downtown. But is that enough to honor the person regarded as this city's greatest export?
"Absolutely not," says Augusta resident Billy Jackson. "We should have a museum."
When Commissioner Marion Williams took office 6 years ago, building a museum in Brown's honor was at the top of his agenda.
"James Brown is not respected in his hometown," Williams says.
He says legends like B.B. King, Otis Redding, Michael Jackson and Dolly Parton have been honored much more than Brown in their hometowns, with things like museums, parks, and large statues.
"I think Augusta is missing a lot of revenue we could generate by a James Brown museum somewhere in Augusta," Williams says.
And the idea of a museum is nothing new. At one point the idea was floated of naming the Civic Center after the Godfather...but over the years, ideas like this have continued to remain just that: ideas.
It's also no secret that over the years, Brown has had run-ins with the law, including charges of domestic violence and drug possession. This is reason enough for some to say he's not fit to be the face of Augusta...and folks like Augusta resident Milton Lucian feel James Brown has already had his time to shine.
"Speaking my mind, James Brown lived his life, you know what I'm saying?" Lucian says. "What more can he ask for that he hasn't earned already?"
Charles "Champ" Walker, Jr. says that thing is a festival. He's attempting to pull off the first ever James Brown Music Festival next week. Walker says the reason Augusta should step up and honor Brown is clear.
"Because he reached out through music to young whites and blacks, he was said to have more influence than even Martin Luther King," Walker says.
And whether the festival is a success and whether Brown ever gets a museum or not, if history is any indicator, he'll never turn his back on Augusta.
And at the age of 73, he'll remain the hardest working man in show business.
Next week, the Augusta Convention and Visitors Bureau will be finishing up the first ever James Brown travel brochure.
As far as the latest on a museum, Mayor Copenhaver says he'd like to establish a public/private partnership to raise the funds...and Commissioner Williams says he's picked out the perfect location: the old Regency Mall.

7 Lies on Your Makeup Labels
Most of the claims on the front of makeup packaging mean absolutely nothing. Here's what you need to know to cut through the marketing jargon
"100 Percent Natural!"
Chances are you've seen these phrases on makeup labels -- and maybe you've even been persuaded to buy something because of one of these claims. Unfortunately, most of them don't mean much -- and even the ones that are technically accurate can be misleading.
That's partly because the FDA does not regulate what goes into cosmetics. And while there are guidelines for labeling, there's no review process in place. Most industry experts believe that's a good thing; if smaller brands had to jump through the FDA's countless hoops, most would never even make it to market, let alone succeed. But the lack of regulations also means that the responsibility then falls on consumers. It's our responsibility to see through the label lingo and understand what we're putting on our faces.
Skip ahead for the most important things to know when you're reading a makeup label.
We talked to experts -- from dermatologists to manufacturers -- to find out what we really need to know when reading a makeup label. Most of the valuable information isn't on the front or anywhere in the product's name -- that's mostly marketing language created to get us to buy the product.
If you want to truly understand what goes into a formula, the list of ingredients is the best place to start -- and you may want to take a chemistry course before you begin. Here, we're decoding what the claims on makeup labels really mean to make it easier to understand what you're really putting on your skin.

most makeup/skincare companies will write anything to sell their product. The sad thing, we often believe them, and spend a lot of money.

thank you! i had so many times this discussion with some or other sales person that insisted that "this product won't give you an allergic reaction/won't react with your sensitive skin, it's natural!" my reply is usually along the lines that strawberries are natural, still people are allergic to them...

The one that gets me is long lasting or 8 hours. No makeup really stays that long and looks like you just put it on, at least for me...

The End of the IEP and the Beginning of "Reasonable Accommodations"
This guest post is by Autism Speaks staffer Kerry Magro. Kerry, an adult who has autism, is a rising senior at Seton Hall University, majoring in Sports Management. He started an Autism Speaks U Chapter: Student Disability Awareness on campus to help spread awareness and raise funds for those affected by autism. Autism Speaks U is a program designed for college students who host awareness, advocacy and fundraising events. It is an exciting and collaborative way for students to raise funds and awareness for Autism Speaks, while supporting their local autism communities.
In June 2007, I graduated from high school. It was an amazing time for me. The majority of my classmates and I were off to great new beginnings. My new beginning began at Seton Hall University. "This is going to be great!" I thought to myself on many occasions before the first day of classes.
Before this day happened however all new incoming freshman had to attend a summer "Orientation Period." During this period we would have the chance to spend the night in the freshman dorms, receive our laptops and also get to meet several faculty members at the school. In addition to this, I had one additional separate meeting that most of the other freshman didn't – an accommodation meeting with The Director of Disability Support Services at SHU. This is when the ball dropped for me.
During the meeting I learned many intriguing and frightening things about how college was going to be a huge difference from high school; the main difference for me was going to be "The IEP." When I asked what the difference would be, I was told the difference was I would not have one. I can't believe I was that oblivious that this was going to happen. Later, I learned that under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) the IEP only exists K-12th grade. At the college door you get a Section 504 accommodations plan.
In college, you only receive "reasonable accommodations" to help make the classes accessible to those specific students with disabilities. The bottom line: there is no plan for you. The only way to receive what you need is by being independent and advocating for your needs. But what does anyone need? If you are a freshman and have autism how do you explain what you need?
At times, this led to many distractions that never would have occurred when I was younger. Sometimes I thought it was unfair. I had to advocate for my own single room in the dorms due to my social complications, extended time on tests for my reading comprehension, a note taker for my classes due to my lack of motor skills and many other complications. For someone trying to fit in it seemed like it was designed to make you stand out like a sore thumb. It even seemed as if as soon as I accomplished one of these tasks, the next semester would begin and it would start all over again for my new courses which required different accommodations.
When you add this to managing a full course load, trying to socialize with your fellow peers, along with being involved in extra-curricular activities, it can sometimes feels like you are drowning. I mean, "reasonable accommodations" are supposed to help level the playing field, not hinder you in any way. There isn't a "reasonable accommodation" for that.
Although getting accommodations sometimes was daunting, I was still able to get by and will be going through the same process again with Disability Support Services come this September in my senior year at Seton Hall. For several semesters now I sit up front and tape most of my classes and download the recordings onto my computer, instead of utilizing a note taker. Never would have thought of that freshman year. For those reading who are younger and not yet in college, my advice is to sit in on as many IEP meetings as you can. Learn and ask as many questions as possible. The letters after your diagnosis don't tell you if you need extended time or a note taker, but knowing if you are a visual or auditory learner may. Within this I would also strongly consider letting your parents be involved in some of your early decision making, especially when it includes freshman year accommodations. Independence is not grown over night and we all need that added voice sometimes to make sure we are level-headed and knowing exactly what we are getting ourselves into.
As many say early intervention is the key once first diagnosed, early intervention for those on the spectrum in college (and high school for that matter as well) is the key to ultimate success. What I've noticed about autism over the years is that it's not a weakness unless you let it become one. Don't let it hinder you. Let the advantages of who you are and what you have to offer be your ability to make it at the college level; just always know what your weaknesses are so you can be ready for whatever is to come next!
July 25, 2010 at 11:40 am
My son Graduated this year and it was a big surprise for us also that the IEP no longer was availble for him and we had no say he was his own advicate. Scary.
We were told it followed him right through College so we were totally surprised when we found this out.
He will be going to a local community college to begin with so he can live at home and is 10 minutes from the school.
All summer classes are excelerated and one meets two days a week 3 hrs each day. He found taking a 8g MP3 player with him helped alot he records it then downloads the class on his laptop so he can listen and take notes at his own speed.
All our best in your future.

Thank you for sharing your story. It is an inspiration to the current struggle I have with my dughter's school district. I have such a difficult struggle because my daughter has never been diagnosed with Autism. I cannot find a doctor who will or feel he/she can diagnose her with Autism. Many believe that she may have a mild form of it coupled with a learning disability, but they donor believe that she show ghe most common characteristics of an Autistic child. My daughter is now 12 years old going to the 6 th grade testing on a 2nd grade level. She has been in school on an IEP since the 2nd grade. I consider the 1st grade a wasted year. I know without a doubt that my daughter is Autistic and does have a serious learning disability in mathematics and language. Her problem solving skills are low as well. Besides all of that, she is a great reader with beautiful penmanship. She also articulates words well but experiences difficulties in expresses herself when trying to communicate with people. She usually gets very nervous and does or says something that comes off very weird. Her social behavior when she is around other children is usually very awkward. At this point in her life, I am dreading the thought of going to Junior High within a year without the proper diagnosis and IEP. Here in MS the resources seems so limited and I believe my daughter may suffer within the long run because of it. I feel so defeated at times but I do not want to give up.

Kerry. You are tough cookie. My son is 27 with Aspergers Syndrome and in his senior year at a large university in eastern NC. You are correct. No IEP in college. You are on your own. You are spot on with hand-writing skills, note-taking. My son hates it with a passion. Within 5 miles of his university there are 4 major Autism services. However, not one is listed as a resource on the university disabilities website. How strange. My son went to a Community College, got his Associate Degree and moved to the university. Dorm living would have been a nightmare at his age, so instead we opted for a gated "student apt" complex about 4 miles from the university. Bus service to and from the apt to the university is provided. He does have a car and a driver's license. Logically taking the bus makes $$ sense. I hope your parents are involved with asking questions and offering as a guide to get you through this. I find that parents are the best advocates. It is difficult for an HFA to "self-advocate". You are doing a tremendous job and I have no clue, how you do it.
I wish you luck. Seton Hall is a great school. Please keep us updated on voyage through college.

I would just like to say thank you so much for this article. I am a parent of a 16yr old young man with autism and i am right in the middle of this college planning process. while it is difficult i am glad to learn some key points from someone who's already been through thr process. thanks again and keep the advice commin'
July 25, 2010 at 2:13 pm
Very good advice and hints for students who are bound for college and just happen to have ASD. You have much to offer, Kerry. Keep advocating for yourself and others! Your parents must be so proud of you.
July 25, 2010 at 3:27 pm
Congratulations to Kerry on the college success. I second your comments for younger kids. When my older son was in high school, his Special Ed teacher made sure he sat in on his annual IEP meetings especially in Junior and Senior years. Last summer before he started at the local junior college, I made an appt. with the Disability services coordinator and accompanied him to the meeting. Even though he was in charge, I was the back-up. Once school started he and his counselor worked as a team to get him what he needed with me playing the back-up role occasionally. He too needed a tape recorder for notes and extra time for tests. He has had a very successful first year including making it onto the Dean's list for two of three quarters and becoming a member of Phi Theta Kappa. Knowledge + support = success in college. Our bright kids have much to offer once they have the support and guided independence they need.
July 26, 2010 at 2:34 am
Thanks for sharing. Stories like yours give me hope for the future.
July 26, 2010 at 7:12 am
Kerry, thank you so much for writing this article! We are going through the college selection process with my older son, who is typical, and I've been thinking to myself, how is this going to be when it's time for my second son, who is twelve and has autism, to figure out where to go to college. You have a lot to be proud of, and I appreciate you sharing your experiences and insights.

I am a Senior this coming year, and I'm doing my senior project on Autism. Some of the things I am researching is how people with autism live they're lives ages 0 till death. I've always wondered what happened after they graduate and this post helped me immensly. My friend is 13 and living with Autism and I've grown up with two other kids in my class with Autism. I've always found it interesting and always had a way of getting along with them better than most people. If anyone knows how I could find out more on how they live their lives further after graduating and what happens to them next and such, can you let me know? It would help extremely. Thank you.

(Brain Tumor; Glioma)
Definition | Causes | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Prevention
Astrocytoma is type of cancerous brain tumor. This type of tumor begins from small, star-shaped cells in the brain called astrocytes. Astrocytes are one of several types of supporting cells in the brain. These types of cells are called glial cells. An astrocytoma is a type of the larger group of brain tumors called gliomas.
Astrocytoma may occur anywhere in the brain, but particularly the cerebrum in adults and the optic nerves in children.
Brain Tumor
The exact cause is unknown. Some possible causes of brain tumors include:
- Heredity
- Certain occupations
- Environmental factors
- Viruses
Risk Factors
The exact risk factors for astrocytomas have not been identified. Some studies suggest the following risk factors may increase your chance of this tumor:
- Genetic disorders, including neurofibromatosis and tuberous sclerosis
Occupational exposure to:
- Radiation
- Chemicals
- Oil refining
- Rubber manufacturing
The first symptoms of any brain tumor can be caused as the tumor grows. The growth can increase pressure in the brain. Symptoms may include:
- Headaches
- Visual changes
- Vomiting
- Seizures
- Personality changes
- Problems with memory, thinking, and concentration
- Problems with walking
Symptoms will vary depending on the location of the tumor. For example:
- Frontal lobe—Gradual changes in mood and personality, loss of muscle function on one side of the body
- Temporal lobe—Problems with coordination, speech, and memory
- Parietal lobe—Problems with sensation, writing, or fine motor skills
- Cerebellum—Problems with coordination and balance
- Occipital lobe—Problems with vision, visual hallucinations
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your doctor may need to look at pictures of your brain. This can be done through:
You may also have biopsy/resection to remove a sample of brain tissue to test it for cancer cells.
A specialist will determine the grade of the tumor. Astrocytomas are graded from I to IV. These grades indicate the outlook and rate of tumor growth.
- Grades I and II—These low-grade astrocytomas grow slowly. They generally stay in an area of the brain. They are more commonly found in younger patients. Grade II astrocytomas can spread.
- Grades III and IV—These high-grade tumors grow rapidly. They can spread throughout the brain and spinal cord. Aggressive treatment is needed. This is the most common type found in adults. Grade III tumors are called anaplastic astrocytoma. Grade IV tumors are called glioblastoma multiforme or GBM.
Treatment is based on the location, size, and grade of the tumor. Treatment may include:
Surgery involves the removal of as much of the tumor as possible. High grade tumors are treated with surgery. Surgery is followed by radiation or chemotherapy to help prevent further spreading.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy involves the use of radiation to kill cancer cells or shrink the tumor. Radiation may be:
- External radiation therapy—Radiation aimed at the tumor from a source outside the body
- Internal radiation therapy, which is also called brachytherapy—Radioactive materials placed into the body near the cancer cells
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. It may be given in many forms, including pill, injection, and a tube called a catheter. The drugs enter the bloodstream. They travel through the body destroying mostly cancer cells. Some healthy cells are also destroyed.
There are no prevention guidelines since the exact cause of astrocytoma is not known.

From wall to wall and even the floor, about 100 concerned residents crowded a small room to voice their concerns to the school board about pressing issues within the Meridian Public School District.
They waited 2 and a half hours to speak after three extensive executive sessions. These residents said, however long it took, to call for action and change within the district, they were willing to wait it out.
Dozens posed questions about how the lowering of the accreditation status from fully accredited to "advised" would impact students and the district as a whole? Were board members going to draft policies regarding accountability with administration and teachers for the next school year? And would the board consider continuing to allow teachers to place their children at the schools of their choice?
Many said they thought they would get answers from board members and the superintendent, but that wasn't the case.
Board president Edward Lynch said the public forum is designed to listen to concerns, that it's not a Q and A session or a dialog. So many, like Cynthia Griffin, left the meeting saying they were frustrated.
"I can't get answers. I don't know if it's being followed up on," Griffin said.
A hot issue was uniform changes. While officials never confirmed verbally if the current uniform policy would be changed or not, officials already prepared a document addressed to faculty and staff answering that question.
The document was made available to those in attendance at the first community forum at Wesley House a few weeks ago. The letter states "the information included in this document is meant to provide factual answers to questions and issues of concern."
There are about 20 issues listed with answers including the uniform policy next year.
In the document, the question regarding school uniforms states, "What is the uniform policy for the upcoming school year?" The answer is, "Wildcats royal blue shirts ONLY. Khaki and black bottoms (pants/skirts/shorts). Copies of the dress code policy will be available at each school site during registration and on the district web site by July 1, 2009."
"I don't understand why parents were not notified and why we were not allowed to give input, and who are making all these decisions?" Griffin said.

Red tide heads south
Published: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 5:11 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 5:11 p.m.
SARASOTA - The large red tide bloom looming off the coast of south Sarasota county, which led to large fish kills in the region last month, is headed farther south.
Medium to high concentrations of the algae that cause red tide are still being reported in South County, with higher concentrations lingering offshore of Charlotte and Lee counties.
But for Sarasota County, effects of red tide — noxious air that causes respiratory problems and dead fish washing ashore — have been minimal in recent weeks.
The lingering threat to the region's coasts and, as a result the tourist season, is expected to subside further in the coming days, according to the latest forecast models.
"The trajectories are all heading south fairly strongly for the next three-and-a-half days," said Jason Lenes, a researcher with the Center for Prediction of Red Tide at the University of South Florida.
"So if anything, Sarasota will probably see a weakening of the bloom," he added.
In mid-January, countless dead fish washed along Southwest Florida shorelines, including Siesta Public Beach, as the red tide bloom moved north. Toxins in the air caused respiratory problems for beachgoers and fish kills had tourism officials worried some travelers might change travel plans.
Concentrations of red tide were reported as far north as Lido Key down through Siesta Key, including Turtle Beach at Midnight Pass Road south to Blind Pass Beach.
The latest beach conditions supplied by Mote Marine Laboratory show improved or ideal beach conditions throughout Sarasota County.

Intestinal-absorption enhancers to improve the oral delivery of poorly permeable drug compounds have been studied since the 1960s. The approaches taken to increase absorption of these types of compounds have varied considerably in the years since Windsor et al. demonstrated that ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid increased absorption of heparin in rats and dogs (1). Strategies have included using surface-active agents, such as surfactants, steroidal detergents, acylcarnitines, and alkanoylcholines, liposomes, mucoadhesive polymers, prodrug modification, nano- and microparticles, modifications of known bacterial intestinal toxins, n-acetylated a-amino acids and n-acetylated non-a-amino acids, ultrasound, iontophoresis, and bioadhesive intestinal patches.
Oral absorption enhancement technologyGIPET (a registered trademark of Merrion Pharmaceuticals) is an oral-absorption-enhancement technology platform that has advanced to clinical evaluation. This enhancer system has increased the oral bioavailability of several types of low-permeability compounds safely in man. Although absorption-enhancement technology focuses primarily on low-permeability drugs, it also can improve the bioavailability of some moderately permeable drug compounds, thus resulting in lower intra- and inter-subject variation and improved pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles.
Significant technical hurdles exist when formulating with enhancer systems. Co-release of the promoter and the active compound at appropriate relative concentrations adjacent to the epithelium of the small intestine is necessary to generate sufficiently mixed micelles to increase absorption. The GIPET technology consists of three formats containing surface-active materials to achieve absorption in the small intestine. The first format, GIPET I, is an enteric-coated tablet consisting of the surface-active materials in powder form combined with a drug in select ratios by weight. The second, GIPET II, consists of microemulsions of oil and surfactant with a drug in an enteric-coated gel capsule (hard or soft). The third format, GIPET III, consists of a mixture of fatty-acid derivatives in an enteric-coated gel capsule. All three GIPET platforms have been tested in humans. The in vivo results for all three formats show that the technology platform is suitable for oral delivery of a wide range of molecule classes.
Barriers to intestinal absorption. There are many gastrointestinal (GI) tract barriers to the absorption of small hydrophilic and macromolecules, including peptides and proteins. These barriers include the low pH in the stomach and the enzymatic milieu of the stomach and small intestine, both of which may result in the degradation of the compound before it reaches the wall of the GI tract. If the compound survives these conditions, it moves to the diffusion barriers of the mucus gel layer, consisting of an unstirred water layer and a layer produced by a mixture of sloughed-off epithelial cells and GI fluids.
The diffusion barriers discriminate on the basis of lipophilicity and charge. Once through these diffusion barriers, the compound must pass through the epithelial cell layer lining the gut wall. The tight junctions (TJ) between cells of this layer form a barrier to the uncontrolled absorption of noxious luminal xenobiotics (i.e., the gate function), and maintain epithelial polarity (i.e., the fence function). The pore radius of the TJ (ranging from 3 to 11å depending on the region of the GI tract) prevents the passage of molecules with molecular weights in excess of approximately 500 Da. Small hydrophilic molecules may alternatively pass through the cell monolayer via carrier-mediated transporters on the apical membrane as an alternative to low-capacity paracellular flux via tight junctions. Only relatively lipophilic molecules diffuse through the cell membrane to pass transcellularly into the systemic circulation. Transcellular migration across the intestinal epithelial monolayer does not represent an unrestricted passageway for a molecule because it faces potential metabolism within the cell (i.e., primary metabolism by Cytochrome P450), or it may be ejected back out to the luminal surface by efflux pumps, including the permeability glycoprotein (P-glycoprotein) and breast-cancer-resistant proteins. Absorption via the small-intestine blood supply means that the drug will go to the liver via the hepatic portal vein, where it may be metabolized (i.e., the first-pass effect) and eliminated from the body. Overcoming these barriers requires specialized technology to produce safe and effective oral delivery.
