Project Number: 3012-13660-008-03
Start Date: Sep 01, 2011
End Date: Feb 28, 2015
NRCS data oriented activities are progressing under the Conservation Delivery Streamline Initiative (CSDI), which will be leveraged to provide geospatial and temporal data access and delivery processes to run ASRU distributed watershed models, particularly the AgroEcoSystem-Watershed (AgES-W), and address NRCS Resource Concerns. The SCA will link data provisioning and model deployment to parallel activities in other ASRU-CSU agreements and NRCS activities. Potential synergies will be explored with the new NRCS Land Management Operational Database (LMOD) and Basin Analysis Geographical Information Systems (BAGIS). The Cloud Services Innovation Platform (CSIP) will be tested and used to deploy AgES-W on nested watershed models in the lower Cache la Poudre Watershed, where agricultural water and nutrient management are key drivers of water quantity and quality. Targeted spatial conservation practices will also be simulated in Iowa at field to watershed scales, where explicit spatial modelling and interactions between hydrological response units should be essential to capture the integrated responses that impact selected Resource Concerns. Using these two regional case studies, the data provisioning tools will be integrated with parameter estimation methods (being developed in parallel through other SCAs with CSU) to demonstrate general data management processes and their linkages with simulation in OMS. AgES-W model outputs will be mapped to selected NRCS Resource Concerns, where ARS and CSU will inform NRCS of progress through quarterly meetings and annual reports, and receive feedback and possible adjustments to NRCS priorities and CDSI tools and databases. Tools delivered in OMS and CSIP will be nationally scoped in terms of their abilities to be deployed over the continental USA using the same data provisioning processes and modeling tools. National application of the tools will be the future work of NRCS, but their input into the tool/framework development will be ensured, primarily through regular communication. The deliverables for each year will be demonstrated through public seminars and archived as simulation projects in Javaforge for future reference and development. Thus, the Colorado and Iowa case studies will serve as openly available templates for broader regional and national applications by stakeholders, including but not limited to NRCS.

A Champagne in Any Other Glass…
Post by Chuck Hayward | December 7th, 2011
JJ Buckley's 2011 Champagne Report is out! The new edition expands on last year's report with new articles, more wine reviews and overviews of additional domaines.
To download a pdf file click here. The post below is an article from the report about a controversial new trend in drinking champagne.
Champagne has long been on the receiving end of rules—ones about how it is made, how it is labeled, and how it should be drunk. Over the years, we have come to accept those regulations and perhaps even find it comforting that they don't fluctuate often. But today, champagne is witnessing revisions to concepts that were before considered sacrosanct, and they have nothing to do with grapes or labels. The change has to do with glass vessels.
If there is one rule that has been generally accepted across the board, it is that sparkling wine is best served in a flute, preferably scored at the base to promote effervescence then rinsed with water and dried with a towel. Along that same line of thinking is that the coupe, also referred to as the Marie Antoinette glass, fails to preserve bubbles since the broader surface allows what is in the glass to go flat more quickly. Recently, though, many in the industry are rethinking this.
Most significantly, a slow movement is afoot to replace the traditional flute with a classic wine glass. A number of winemakers and writers claim that in order to maximize the wine's flavors and enhance aromas, pouring champagne in a burgundy styled glass is preferable to a flute. At the least, they claim, a wider and broader shape to the bowl of the flute is the minimum recommendation.
Another trend that has popped up is for sparkling wines to be decanted. I witnessed this firsthand at a recent tasting hosted by the CIVC (Comité Interprofessionnel du vin de Champagne) where the representatives for Charles Heidsieck poured their bubbly out of Riedel's Amadeo decanters. Once again, the goal is to reveal the flavors that would otherwise appear much more slowly, if at all, when only poured from a bottle.
These changes to the accepted wisdom about pouring and drinking bubbly do not come without controversy. Much has been written about changes in dosage levels and the various crus that can affect the way a wine tastes in a very minute way, but using decanters and new glassware is such a major change that even champagne makers are in conflict.
At a tasting of the champagnes of Terry Thiese, who has defined the artisanal fizz movement in the US, I conducted an informal survey of the producers in attendance. While some saw a wider bowl more helpful in letting their wines reveal the hidden flavors and aromas, a surprising number drew the line at using decanters. Preserving their wines' effervescence was very important to them.
Both of these trends turn our classic understanding of champagne on its head. No doubt, using decanters or burgundy glasses would dissipate the bubbles and effervescence that winemakers work so hard to create (and what consumers have been taught to appreciate). Utilizing regular glassware or decanters is treating sparkling wine more as a still wine. While some drinkers see the flatness as a fault, many connoisseurs still appreciate that older champagnes lose their bubbles over time. The theories that form the logic behind this "glassware revolution" are understandable. However, the question then becomes whether bubbles are still important to champagne. That is a question each consumer and, ultimately the sparkling wine industry, must decide.

Literal-Minded Lawyers Accuse Chobani Yogurt of Not Being Greek
Until recently, Chobani Inc. wouldn't have attracted the attention of class-action lawyers.
With $1.5 billion in sales expected this year, the Greek-style yogurt company has shaken up the industry and also brought plaintiffs' attorneys out of the woodwork.
A small New York law firm in Manhattan has filed a lawsuit against New Berlin, N.Y.-based Chobani, claiming that the company tricks consumers into thinking their product is actually Greek and uses terms on its label that exaggerate its nutritiousness.
The lawsuit was filed Thursday in federal court in Brooklyn by Lee Litigation Group PLLC in Manhattan on behalf of two New Yorkers, one from Westchester County and the other from Queens.
"Defendants purposefully market their Products as 'Greek' yogurt when there is nothing 'Greek' about the Products," the complaint says. "None of the Products sold in the U.S. are made in Greece or made by Greek nationals even though Defendants market themselves as 'America's Top Greek Yogurt.'"
Chobani officials say the suit is without merit and that its central claim is the equivalent of complaining that Canadian bacon isn't from Canada.
"Our fans also understand that, like English muffins and French fries, Greek yogurt is a product description about how we authentically make our yogurt and not about where we make our yogurt in Upstate New York and Idaho," the company said in a statement Friday. "We market our products transparently with labeling that is clear, commonly understood and widely used and all of our labels comply with all laws and regulations."
Chobani, founded in 2005 by Turkish immigrant entrepreneur Hamdi Ulukaya, says the Greek term describes yogurt that's strained of excess whey to produce a thicker, creamier texture. The company says every cup of its yogurt is made with three cups of milk.
While products like bourbon or cheese have to adhere to specific federal standards to be labeled as such, the government hasn't set rules on what yogurt must contain to be marketed as "Greek."
The suit also claims that Chobani misleads consumers into thinking that it's healthier than other yogurts by saying on its label that it's sweetened with evaporated cane juice instead of using the term sugar.
Chobani in February won the dismissal of a federal lawsuit in California brought by plaintiffs who made a similar complaint about the way the company labels its sugar content.
The judge, dismissing the suit with prejudice, said the plaintiffs failed to explain how they couldn't have known that evaporated cane juice is a form of sugar.

While there are resources are in place to help prevent the kind of tragedies that played out over a one-week period in Kansas City, Mo., and Dallas, the challenge lies in getting NFL players to use them.
"Men in general don't like talking about the things that trouble them the most," said Lamonte Winston, the Raiders' director of player engagement. "You get men in this environment of a competitive nature, and around their peers, it's a lot easier to stick your head in the sand. It's a lot easier to have secrets."
On Dec. 1, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher shot and killed his girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, then drove to the team facility and committed suicide in the presence of head coach Romeo Crennel, general manager Scott Pioli and linebackers coach Gary Gibbs.
A week later, Cowboys practice squad linebacker Jerry Brown Jr. was killed when a car driven by teammate Josh Brent struck a curb and flipped. The two had been at a Dallas club, and Brent was arrested and charged with intoxication manslaughter.
The two events illustrated many of the issues that are addressed each year at the NFL rookie symposium -- spousal abuse, alcohol abuse, depression, possession of firearms and making responsible decisions.
Winston has spent 25 years in player development, including 17 years with the Chiefs. An annual award given by the league that recognizes the NFL's most outstanding player development program is called the Winston-Shell award because he and former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Donnie Shell are considered innovators in the field.
Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie hired Winston to the newly created position of director of player engagement, with former director of squad development Willie Brown becoming a team ambassador.
Brown had many of the responsibilities Winston has with regard to player issues but also had other duties on his plate. Winston's full-time mission is to keep track of how players are faring in their lives and providing advice, counsel and resources.
Winston's last season with the Chiefs corresponded with Belcher's rookie year in 2009.
"I got a chance to know Jovan, and the men that are on that team, and the Chiefs family in general is just devastated," Winston said.
Raiders coach Dennis Allen has addressed his team in the wake of both tragedies and issued reminders about personal responsibility and making the correct decisions.
"You can't look at these guys as just football players," Allen said. "They're people, and we care about these people more than just as a football player. We want guys to know we have resources available to help them no matter what the circumstances are."
Raiders cornerback Michael Huff said, "In our profession you have young guys with a lot of money. Things happen. You don't wish for them to happen, but they do."
Winston's job includes a tricky mix of maintaining confidentiality while, in some cases, needing to report to McKenzie and Allen for others.
"The big hurdle is the trust factor," Winston said. "Can I trust this man if I tell him about my issues? Can he work with me? And if I trust him, will he run and tell the general manager and the head coach?"
Winston talks on occasion to the team as a whole but said his most important work comes in brief interactions on a daily basis with players that sometimes take no more than 30 seconds.
According to the Kansas City Star, Belcher and his girlfriend had been undergoing counseling provided by the team over relationship and financial issues.
Winston said in the case of depression, players often don't understand what they're feeling and why.
Regarding the possession of firearms, defensive end Andre Carter said players get a yearly seminar on registration, the difference in gun laws from state to state and talks about responsible ownership.
Akbar Gbaja-Biamila, a Raiders defensive end in 2003-04, described a drinking culture where many players would head for either San Francisco or Los Angeles after practice Friday for a night of partying.
"It's a staple of Friday nights in the NFL," Gbaja-Biamila wrote. "Guys are in the clubs buying top-shelf liquor in VIP booths. It's the NFL players 'weekend,' a time to have fun sipping your drink of choice."
The NFL Players Association has a confidential safe-ride program that allows players to schedule limo service in advance, as well as an emergency ride service for players who fear they have had too much to drink.
Carter acknowledged poor judgment is all too common.
"Sometimes we get so dumb within our heads thinking we're invincible, and we're not," he said.
Winston said the Chiefs and Cowboys tragedies are "a sober reminder that life doesn't discriminate because you're in the NFL ... the environment we work in is a high-pressure, high-performance business, and a lot of times we can get caught up in the game and lose perspective."
Whether players will take heed of the two tragedies is another matter.
"When something happens, it's a top priority and then it kind of dies away and it's like, 'What's next?' " Raiders linebacker Omar Gaither said. "Maybe one or two guys will change the way they operate as far as drinking and (other issues), but overall it needs to be more up front every week, and not just when something happens."
Carter, 33, said there are more resources available for help than at any time in his 12-year NFL career. But he isn't sure how many players will ask for it.
"As men, sometimes our ego gets in the way of what we actually need," he said. "It's sad. We all need some type of outlet. We all need some type of help. But sometimes we're just so focused on, 'I'm a grown man. I can figure it out for myself.' "

When Should a Voter's "Clerical Error" Invalidate a Ballot?Edward B. Foley - Posted on June 13, 2016, 6:35 pm

A Tale of Two Swing StatesEdward B. Foley - Posted on May 31, 2016, 9:29 am
Pennsylvania should prepare itself for the kind of "voting wars" litigation that Ohio has experienced in recent years, including a claim that the state's current opportunities to cast a ballot impose a disproportionate burden on the state's African-American voters.
Is Ted Cruz Eligible to Be President? Let's Find OutDaniel P. Tokaji - Posted on February 17, 2016, 8:00 am
Donald Trump has revived the question whether Senator Ted Cruz is ineligible to serve as President due to his birth in Canada. The issue cries out for judicial resolution, but there are constitutional and prudential obstacles to a federal court deciding it. This comment argues that the most promising avenue is a state court lawsuit challenging Senator Cruz's eligibility and seeking his removal from the primary ballot. There's at least one state – Pennsylvania – where the deadline for filing hasn't yet expired, but if skeptics of Cruz's eligibility want to sue there they must act quickly, no later than Tuesday. Litigating the case through state court would tee up the issue for Supreme Court review, which would be helpful in resolving the recurrent question of what it means to be a "natural born Citizen."

'Dancing with the Stars': Brant Daugherty Voted Off
Do you believe in life after love? What about life after dance? On a night when Cher played the role of guest judge and musical performer – and yes, she opened the evening with "Believe" – Brant Daugherty and Peta Murgatroyd have to figure this out after becoming the latest evictees from "Dancing with the Stars."
Brant was arguably the least-known celebrity before the season started. He was a lot of fun to watch, with charisma aplenty. However, he may have buried in the middle of the pack. His scores were inconsistent, and he didn't have the emotional pull of either of the Bills (Nye and Engvall) or Valerie Harper nor the skill set of a Corbin Bleu or an Elizabeth Berkley Lauren. As Carrie Ann and Bruno noted in their critique this week, Brant's been stuck where he has the star power but not the refinement.
Joining Brant and Peta in the red light of doom, but not necessarily the bottom two, were Jack Osbourne and Cheryl Burke. Brant and Peta are teary-eyed as they say goodbye.
Good evening, all! Thanks to Kerry Grace Benn for filling in during the previous two weeks while I was on assignment on the other side of the world. Hong Kong has many glitzy things, but they don't include a gaudy trophy being fought over by several B- and C-list celebrities.
Anyway, Cher is here to fill in for Len Goodman as head judge – what must it be like to judge dances performed to renditions of your own songs? – and host Tom Bergeron hasn't sounded this excited in ages. Son Chaz Bono is in the audience, having appeared on the show in Season 13 as a contestant. Tom and co-host Brooke Burke Charvet introduce this week's twist: two rounds of dancing, with dance-offs in the second round for all but the highest-scoring couple, who will have immunity. This happened last season, too. And with that, on to Round 1.
To welcome us back to the ballroom-watching world, Corbin and Karina Smirnoff present an Argentine tango. Karina spent part of the summer on Broadway in "Forever Tango," so one hopes to see a sophisticated, sexy routine. Corbin's outside life has been taking over, so Karina is left to choreograph a "Welcome to Burlesque" Argentine tango without him. Will Corbin's ringing cellphone be part of the musical accompaniment? Before the dance, Tom says to Karina, "It looks like the Mirror Ball melted on your head." At first, the dance is heavy on Karina dancing separately or in front of Corbin. When they come together, they're sexy sizzle. Corbin has sharp footwork, but you can tell the number is underrehearsed; he doesn't seem as steady as usual. Carrie Ann and Bruno call him out for this. Still, it's a pleasure to see an Argentine tango with more work on the ground than a series of lifts. Score: 27 (Carrie Ann 9, Cher 9, Bruno 9). Tom asks Corbin if he regrets not spending more time on the number; Corbin takes the chance to plug his antibullying project.
Leah Remini thinks that because Cher is an artist, she'll be more willing to look at the whole package rather than just whether she performed a lift properly. Dear Leah, YOU'RE ON A DANCE-COMPETITION SHOW. That means that your dancing is going to be judged. Besides, you got 9s last week. Why are you complaining? Sigh. … Leah loves "I Got You, Babe" and talks with partner Tony Dovolani about how Cher and Sonny Bono met at a coffee shop. They want to re-enact that in what she hopes will be a cute and innocent Viennese waltz. It's a good dance for Leah to act out, and she has moments in which she sweeps her arms with a flow she hadn't displayed in previous weeks. However, toward the end the dance takes on the herky-jerky pause/move/pause/move pattern we tend to see from her, and I automatically take points off when your final few seconds of a dance consist of you strolling off. Jennifer Lopez, a bigger diva than Cher, cries in the audience. Bruno loves the sweep and the side-by-side moments but warns Leah to watch her upper body because she loses her frame. Carrie Ann wonders if Leah got behind the music. Cher loves how Leah and Tony interpreted such an emotional moment in her life. Score: 25 (Carrie Ann 8, Cher 9, Bruno 8).
Brant also has an outside commitment this week, returning to the "Pretty Little Liars" set. However, this means he and Peta lose almost two days of rehearsal for the foxtrot. They're stressed about being in the dance-off, and the censors have the "bleep" button at work. As with Leah and Tony, we see another well-acted number, this one to "The Shoop Shoop Song." Brant executes all the steps with a huge smile and dazzle; he's charming to watch. Sometimes, though, especially toward the end, the routine seems to get away from him. Is he overchallenged, as Bruno suggested last week? Carrie Ann and Bruno say much the same thing: You have star quality and the pieces are there. Now refine and finesse your lines. Score: 27 (9s from all three judges).
Elizabeth and Val Chmerkovskiy have so far received the only perfect score of the season. Elizabeth has some jazz background, so will a jazz routine net them another one? In rehearsal, the stress level rockets after Elizabeth decides she wants to change the song halfway through the week, to "Bang Bang." She gets discouraged with herself and cries; Val reminds her to do her best and that's it. That is some sheer halter jumpsuit Elizabeth is wearing – an homage to the many Cher and Bob Mackie collaborations over the years? Scratch that: After watching this routine, "homage to 1980s heavy-metal videos" may be more accurate as assessment. We see a lot of anger and intensity, with Elizabeth spinning and spinning. She flings Val at the end. She is in control, or at least she wants to be. In reality, all we see is rage. Where is the jazz? Where is the dance? Cher likes the roughness (and then says things that get bleeped out). Elizabeth takes the time to thank Cher for showing women they can make their own rules. Bruno compares the jazz number to "The Hunger Games," but he thinks Elizabeth missed a lot of musical cues. Carrie Ann finds the anger one-dimensional and wants Elizabeth to point her toes more. Score: 25 (Carrie Ann 8, Cher 9, Bruno 8).
Bill Engvall says he isn't nervous because he grew up in the disco era. He and Emma Slater talk about how he expected to go home last week and even told the person who was eliminated, Nicole Polizzi, that he should have been the one to leave. Like Leah, Bill decides to go more for performance than technique to cater to Cher's interests. Bill and Emma bring polyester back for "Strong Enough." Purely on an entertainment value, this is the number of the night. It has a lot of personality and flair. Bill wiggles as he walks, and he's working those arm movements with more rhythm than one might expect. As far as quality of content … it's clearly not as strong as that of the other couples so far. Still, Bill and Emma look thrilled at the conclusion of the routine. Tom loves this and tells Bruno not to be a buzzkill. Bruno says it's more inferno than disco. Carrie Ann calls Bill the mayor of "Dancing with the Stars." Alas, he was off the beat, she says, but she loved it! Cher is amazed with the lifts. "It's a little blue pill," Bill says. Score: 24 (8s from all three judges, and we learn Cher has a paddle other than a 9). Bill gushes to Cher.
Cheryl tells Brooke her mother named her after Cher. Jack marvels he's still here on Week 8 and learning to like dance. He's nervous about doing a tango to "The Beat Goes On" in front of the woman who sang the song. He and Cheryl manage to laugh in rehearsal. Because this is a ballroom number, and one that calls for intensity rather than smiles, Jack should do well. Again, he impresses with his ability to lead, powering Cheryl through spins and dips. They do a slinky side-by-side footwork pass shortly before the dance ends. Mama Sharon is psyched. Carrie Ann praises Jack's refinement and confidence, even though he missed a moment. "I thought it was great! You were like a tango-dancing pimp!" Cher exclaims. Bruno leaps on that comment, embellishes by calling Cheryl a hooker and adds that this was a proper, classic tango. Score: 27 (all 9s. I'm a little surprised Bruno didn't give out a 10.)
By the way, if Cher could turn back time, she would go back to the '80s.
Amber Riley and Derek Hough end the first round with a rumba to "If I Could Turn Back Time." Amber spent time at the hospital this week with a tear in one of her tendons, which leads Derek to bring Troupe member Witney to demonstrate the rumba. (Is it a coincidence that most of Derek's partners end up as injured as Derek?) Amber, a visual learner, likes this approach and goes home to practice the steps. Derek brings back the sailors we saw in the "If I Could Turn Back Time" video and casts himself as one of them. (Recapper Kerry gives Derek a 30 for the pants.) It's not the usual rumba we see, for it features a lot of intense face and showcases in-control Amber. It takes a while to discern rumba steps, although we see more of them – and they're well-executed – as the dance goes on. It also feels like the wrong song for a rumba, which isn't Amber and Derek's fault. Cher likes how Amber sold the sexy walk. Bruno says Amber turned around the number because she was the one leading and selling. Carrie Ann doesn't think it was Amber's best dance, that she could push herself more. Score: 28 (Carrie Ann 9, Cher 9, Bruno 10).
With that 10 from Bruno, the 27 blockade is broken, and Derek and Amber are safe from immunity and the dance-off. We could see cha-chas, rumbas or discos in Round 2.
As we prepare for the dance-off, Cher sings again, this time to her new song, "I Hope You Find It." She breaks out a black feathered wig.
The couples prattle about strategy in choosing an opponent and dance style. Each winning duo will get three extra points. With the three-way tie of 27 for second place, we have to look at cumulative scores for the season. This means Corbin and Karina choose first, and they go for Elizabeth and Val, who choose cha-cha. Last season, Val and Karina were in a tough-to-call dance-off, which Val and his then-partner, Zendaya, won. Who has the edge in the rematch? Corbin spins Karina, and then they exploit Corbin's natural rhythm. Elizabeth takes center stage as Val unbuttons his shirt. They're tight, but Corbin and Karina work better together. After the official dancing is over, Corbin and Elizabeth dance with each other. Sexy and sultry or tight and clean? The winner is … Corbin and Karina, unanimously.
Brant and Peta go next, deciding to dance against Leah and Tony. Tony picks rumba because Leah is hot and can do rumba. As in his foxtrot, Brant's looks sell the dance, even if the technique isn't quite there. Leah brings back the J-Lo fringe ensemble and looks more relaxed than usual. Bruno loves Brant in Latin-lover mode. Carrie Ann is impressed to see the sexy from Leah. The winner is … Leah and Tony, by a 2-1 margin (women for Leah, Bruno for Brant).
This means Bill and Emma repeat disco against Jack and Cheryl. Although Bill is the lower-scoring celebrity, he may have the advantage over Jack because disco isn't in the latter's wheelhouse. Jack opts for the "twirl Cheryl" approach. Bill and Emma recreate some of the choreography done 45 minutes earlier. (Seriously, Tom must be amped on caffeine pills. "Oh, yes!" he squeals when Bill and Emma are done.) Carrie Ann is surprised at how well Jack did. The winner is … Jack and Cheryl, again unanimously. But it doesn't matter because Tom prompts Bill to read the teleprompter, and that's how Bill and Emma learn they're safe again despite being entrenched at the bottom of the leaderboard. They must have some fan base.
Next week: trio dances again. Could we get Tristan MacManus or Sharna Burgess back?
What did you think of the elimination and Cher as a judge? How much longer can Bill and Emma last? Leave your thoughts on these and other matters in the comments.

Some athletes say that gamma oryzanol helps increase muscle size and strength gains and reduce fatigue.
Gamma oryzanol and its related compound ferulic acid are thought to affect hormone function in the body, resulting in anabolic effects on muscle growth as well as reduced sense of fatigue. Early studies appeared promising, but a recent double-blind trial cast doubt on any real benefits.
It appears that gamma oryzanol is very poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.

NEW: Father throws son off balcony then jumps, police say
Published: Wednesday, January 15, 2014 at 8:42 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 15, 2014 at 8:42 a.m.
KISSIMMEE - A 41-year-old man is charged with attempted murder after he tossed his son off a second story hotel balcony in Kissimmee.
The 2-year-old is expected to recover from injuries received Tuesday. Police say Juan Pablo Maradiaga also jumped from the balcony. A man pulling into the Budget Inn parking lot called 911.
Maradiaga had a severe leg injury and was taken to a hospital. Once he's released, officials say he'll be taken to jail.
The child was flown to Arnold Palmer Hospital in Orlando. His injuries include a fractured arm and abrasions but his mother told WESH he's "a miracle baby."
Police say surveillance video shows the father walking out of the room and throwing the baby over the railing.
The Florida Department of Children and Families is investigating.

Residents of Plantation Acres are wondering whether or not their water will keep running, while the new property owner is nowhere to be found. (WRDW-TV / June 26, 2012)
News 12 First at Five / Tuesday, June 26, 2012
HEPHZIBAH, Ga. -- More than 300 people in Hephzibah could be living without running water by Wednesday.
Residents at Plantation Acres Mobile Home park on Deans Bridge Road are starting to panic.
Commissioner Alvin Mason tell News 12 that this is a safety issue and a health hazard. Now they're trying to track down the park's owner.
"First of all, I'd rather by back in Vietnam fighting than fighting these people here," said Thomas Winston, a disabled veteran who's lived in Plantation Acres for 13 years.
Now, he says a lack of any local management is turning their mobile home park into a wasteland.
"There's nothing that we can do," Winston said.
Plantation Acres is right off Deans Bridge Road. The property is home to more than 300 people in 104 mobile homes.
Residents like Tiffany Livingston say they've been without air conditioning for months.
"I'm not gonna lie, I'm blessed it's not like last summer. Because if it was last summer, I'm sure my dogs or somebody would be dead already," she said.
Other neighbors have the same complaint.
"My air conditioning unit is not workable. It's obsolete," said Geneva Rogers. "And the floor of my home fell in. My son had to fix it because the landlord wouldn't."
In other yards, sewage is bubbling up. Residents' leases show they pay nearly $600 a month.
"Because I've resigned, we have no property manager," said Annette Winston, who resigned from the position last week.
Winston says the new owner refused to pay for maintenance problems.
"I have talked to the previous owner. He has no interest in the park anymore. And the new owner will not accept phone calls. He will not answer emails," Winston said.
Commissioner Mason is getting involved now. He tells News 12 that Michael Butler is the new owner, and Jefferson Electric reports Butler's power bill at Plantation Acres is delinquent.
"We do have a responsibility to our citizens to help them remain safe and to have them in an environment where they are relatively comfortable," Mason said.
Even though it's private property, Mason promises he won't sleep until he knows the people at Plantation Acres are okay.
If the power is shut down, street lights will go dark.
"That's a huge safety issue. It's a large space that would be dangerously dark with no street lights," he said.
Even though residents pay their own individual power bills, Mason says Butler is responsible for the cost of power to the street lights and drinking well. The well will stop pumping water if Jefferson Energy turns off power to the office and streets.
"I've got friends that are going to use food stamps to buy bottles of water to wash and cook with," said resident Tiffany Phillips. "How am I supposed to tell my 5-year-old nephew why we can't give him a bath? Can't make him mac and cheese? We won't have any water."
Many are filling up their bathtubs and stockpiling coolers full of clean water. Phillips and her friend spent Monday night filling coolers and bottles with water.
Mason says he is appalled by the conditions.
"These folks are literally filling up their bathtubs ... are you kidding me? It's 2012. We shouldn't be having any problems like this," he said.
Mason and City Administrator Fred Russell are working with Jefferson Energy. They say, for now, the company is agreeing to eat the costs and keep the power on at Plantation Acres.
"I'm p'd off like everyone else. But you gotta keep control," said resident George Lewis. "If [Butler] would just come here and work it out, talk to us, then maybe we'd be okay."
Winston said if the trailer park was condemned, they'd all have to be out in 72 hours.
"These people can't move their homes. They don't have the money. Plus, their homes are too old. Where are they going?" she said.
Many people have no idea where they will go.
"I don't know. I'm being real, real honest with you. I really don't know," Rogers said.
Mason says they're going to track the new owner down.
"We're going to find him, and we're going to hold him accountable for what he needs to do for the citizens of Augusta Richmond County," he said.
Until then, residents are hot, yards are smelly and access to clean water is at the mercy of Jefferson Energy.
We're told the new owner, Butler, lives in Texas. As of Tuesday afternoon, Butler had not returned calls to News 12, the commissioner or the power company.
In recent years, a SPLOST project paid for water and sewage lines to be extended to this part of Hephzibah for Plantation Acres. The owners of the park never connected to the lines, so they're still dependent on septic tanks and a well.
"We're consulting with the city's legal team to see what else we can do," Mason said.

Location: Plant Stress and Germplasm Development Research
Project Number: 3096-21000-020-01
Start Date: Jan 01, 2013
End Date: Sep 30, 2013
Our newly developed high throughput screening tools will provide, for the first time, a quantative measure of the levels of pre- and post-flowering drought tolerance in germplasm collections, mutant populations, and hybrid combinations. This information will expedite the movement of tolerant germplasm into advanced breeding programs. Modification of plant architecture will be evaluated to determine morphologies that enhance yield with less water consumptions. Genotypes with improved vegetative and reproductive heat tolerance will be identified, and the genetics underlying the tolerance will be determined. We will develop an irrigation management that optimizes the seasonal distributuion of limited water to maximize grain yields of pre-flowering drought-tolerant sorghum lines.

Probiotics Reduce Antibiotic Diarrhea
May 8, 2012 -- Diarrhea is a common side effect of antibiotic use, occurring in almost 1 in 3 people who take the drugs. But new research suggests that probiotics may help lower the risk of that unwanted side effect.
By affecting good bacteria, as well as bad, antibiotics can disrupt the delicate microbial balance in the intestines, but the live microorganisms marketed as probiotics can help restore this balance to reduce diarrhea risk, a new review of the research suggests.
Supported by a federal grant, researchers from the nonprofit research and analysis group RAND Corporation pooled the best available research on probiotics and antibiotic-associated diarrhea, including the most recent studies.
They found that in people taking antibiotics, those who used probiotics were 42% less likely to develop diarrhea.
The review appears this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Even with the latest research, the science showing that probiotic foods and supplements promote digestive health has not yet caught up to the hype, and many questions remain about their benefits, experts tell WebMD.
"The good news is that a lot of extremely high-quality research is going on now," says gastrointestinal disease researcher Eamonn Quigley, MD, of Ireland's University College Cork, who was not involved in the review.
"Up until now, most of the noise about probiotics has been generated by marketing, but it may soon be generated by the science."
Probiotics and GI Health
Found in yogurts with live bacterial cultures, as well as in other foods and dietary supplements (a list can be found below), "probiotic" products continue to multiply on the shelves of grocery stores and vitamin and supplement retailers.
Global sales of probiotic foods and supplements reached $21 billion in 2010 and were projected to reach $31 billion by 2015, according to one market analysis.
But which probiotics are best and in what quantities?
Sydne J. Newberry, PhD, of RAND's Southern California Evidence-based Practice Center, says this is not yet clear.
Studies of Commercial Products Limited
Newberry says none of the studies included in the analysis examined commercially available probiotic yogurts, and very few examined commercially marketed probiotic supplements.

BELPRE - A plan to help students lagging behind their peers academically was proposed to the Belpre City Schools District Board of Education on Monday.
Belpre High School Principal Dennis Eichinger gave the board an outline of what the alternative education program would entail and the goals.
"We're faced with a group of students who have difficulty in school and we are in a position where we are trying to engage them in the educational process," Eichinger said. "These students are in 10th through 12th grade and many have no more than 10 of the 21 credits needed to graduate."

Belpre High School Principal Dennis Eichinger tells the district school board about a proposed plan for an alternative education program to aid students not doing well in regular classes.
The program will be for students in grades eight through 12 who are deficient in credits, fail to make academic progress, have frequent absences, exhibit behavior problems and negative attitudes.
These students would be in a different room with a qualified instructor along with online learning tools and computers.
"With this, we hope to reduce the dropout percentage, increase the graduation rate and have a curriculum that helps the students make up for graduation, prepare for the workforce and continuing education and become productive members of the community," Eichinger said.
The cost of the program is still being calculated, but Eichinger said the school has a qualified instructor, the available classroom and the computers needed.
"We have identified a number of students and hope to have 25 to start," he said. "We have the resources needed, we need the time and an environment to allow these students to participate and learn."
Board member Fred Meredith voiced his shock that these students have been pushed along with their peers without the credits needed.
Eichinger said the school has sent communication to families of these students and provided intervention and the classes the students are supposed to have, but they have not responded to what is offered.
"It is tough and frustrating," Eichinger said. "These students are intelligent, but don't do homework, sleep in class and are totally withdrawn from the delivery systems we provide.
"With this program we are trying to find a way to engage them and get them to realize that education is important," he said.
In other business:
* Superintendent Tony Dunn updated the board on the heating system issues at the high school, as the furnace is at the end of its life with parts no longer made for it.
"The HVAC systems in the district are to the point they will have to be replaced because we can no longer find parts to fix them," Dunn said.
He showed a map of the high school, which has a converted coal furnace with a blower that is the worst of the district's systems.
The proposal included up to 14 individual heating units for the building that will save the district money as they are more energy efficient than what is now used.
"We want to make sure we put in high efficiency units that will allow for electrical savings," Dunn said.
Estimates for the units are in the hundreds of thousands of dollars that the district has no way to collect without help, he said.
The two options Dunn told the board about are using Ohio House Bill 264, which would allow the district to loan the funds at a low interest rate, or a capital improvement levy.
"I will not recommend a levy at this point, but those are our only two options," he said.
* The board accepted the resignation of high school teacher and athletic director Ken Cox effective June 15.

Roger to open against Lu
Roger will open his quest for a sixth Wimbledon title against Taiwan's Yen-Hsun Lu (ATP 64) next week. The two players have not me before.
Our champ would meet Guillermo Garcia-Lopez or Augustin Calleri in the second round and Philipp Kohlschreiber in the third before he is due to face Robin Söderling - which would be a remake of the final at Roland Garros. Fernando Verdasco is a possible opponent in the last eight and Roger could play Serbian fourth seed Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals. Rafael Nadal pulled out of the tournament today.
London is Roger's next opportunity to mix up the statistics. He is aiming for a record 15th Grand Slam title, a record 7th consecutive final and a sixth Wimbledon victory (just one below Sampras' record).
good luck!^_^
love, pray, and support,
one of your beloved fans,
O Come on people... It was seven games all in the fifth set in last year's final.. It could
We all love you.Yes,you can.
Wish you all the very best.
Please play confidently and improve on yr unforced errors and 1st serve.
God Bless
Me think the same also. Don't think Murray can make it to the final althogh he has a pretty easy draw. It's hard to predict who will Roger play in the semi and the final this year. The Djoker has a tougher draw than Murray, it's difficult for

text: The feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary began in Spain in 1513 and in 1671 was extended to all of Spain and the Kingdom of Naples. In 1683, John Sobieski, king of Poland, brought an army to the outskirts of Vienna to stop the advance of Muslim armies loyal to Mohammed IV in Constantinople. After Sobieski entrusted himself to the Blessed Virgin Mary, he and his soldiers thoroughly defeated the Muslims. Pope Innocent XI extended this feast to the entire Church.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - CVS Pharmacy Inc. has paid $57,000 to settle alleged price scanner inaccuracies in stores throughout Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection announced the settlement Wednesday.
The department conducted a statewide inspection of 28 CVS stores over two days in January 2013. Inspectors found 37 overcharge violations. The overcharge rate for all stores tested averaged 2.64 percent.
On their return visit, inspectors found 12 instances where two stores failed to correct the price overcharges found on the first day.
Inspectors also found 15 instances over the two days where CVS stores did not post required signs advising customers they're entitled to a refund when they're not charged the lowest advertised price.
As part of the agreement, Rhode Island-based CVS did not admit to violating any Wisconsin laws.

salt to taste if needed
View the complete recipe
Looks fantastic! Around here (Texas) this is also served layered in a little styrofoam cup with the corn cut off the cob. Great for picnics and impulse buys at the gas station
According to my travels in central Mexico, the authentic version uses a very fibrous variety of corn, AKA Commodity Corn, AKA, Animal feed, but still on the cob. Also, it's not authentic unless the mayo has been taken from a jar that has sat in the sun for at least 6 hours and applied with an old spatula. The Cheese and chili powder were right on :-)
All of that being true, the elote I had was still pretty darn good. Your version using actual eatin'-corn and non-sun-ripened-mayo, looks fantastic!
And Excellent n True Elote Recipe !!!
I think the "orange" color of that few corn pieces is because of they have more indole than the other ones. I've just done an exam about that at univ.
I can't wait to finish my exams and to make all the delicious recipes you share.
A spanish fan.
I never boil corn. We microwave it in the husks and it is Greta. Will try you recipe tonight.. Thanks. In a summer where the temp is in the high 90s we never turn the oven on and have to be creative with every thing.
Hi Chef John!. The word is Cotija...Not to Cojita
Yes, I knew that! ;)
Hi Chef John, this looks fantastic! I was wondering, in a pinch is there anything that could be substituted for the mayo with similar results? Any thoughts?
Thanks a bunch!
I have mine already to go for tonight's dinner along with some Cornell chicken breasts. I will admit to some skepticism about charcoal grilling adding any real flavour. It produces little smoke and most of the flavourful components will be driven off during the manufacture. However pit bosses swear by it so maybe.
Well, I made green chili enchiladas tonight and just happened to have 10 ears of corn in the fridge waiting to go on the grill because I like to take it off the cobb and freeze for the winter. It never happened with this recipe. I, too, nuke my corn 3 at a time in wet paper towels, 3 min. on one side +turned over and 3 more min = 6 min. total. I'm a lazy cook :) I halved your recipe and it covered all 10 ears. It was a lot. Excellent...all enjoyed! Again TKS!
Other than butter or maybe yogurt/sour cream I don't know of a sub for mayo.
Damn! damndamndamn! That's some beautiful corn, no, like really. (the 20 yr daughter's comment). She's insistent we go to the farmer's market tomorrow to buy corn. Must concur with her opinion. She will, however, get her corn-shuckin' experience with this one.
Try adding ingredients to the corn in this order: Slather in mayo, sprinkle with a 50/50 mix of cotija/parmesan, drizzle with butter, drizzle Tapatio hot sauce on top.
Daughter follow up after she made the corn: "ErmaGHERD! What's that dude's website again?"
I love the flavors of this way of preparing corn so much I get cravings all year. But fresh corn on the cob isn't around all year and I don't really like gnawing on corn cobs anyway. I do this with frozen corn kernals. Stick with me a minute. I saute them in butter until they go dark brown here and there. While that's happening, I mix a spoonful of mayo, a squeeze of lime, some cayenne and some crumbled cotija. When the corn is ready, I mix it all together an eat it with the same spoon. I wash the dishes; it seems logical. When you do this often enough, you know just how much of everything to use. I can't wait to try the smoked paprika.
Serious Eats must be a fan of your blog, they just posted this today:
Made this tonight along with your crunchy onion rings. Both were incredible!
This was a huge hit with the family. Thank you so much!!
One of our favorite dishes in the summer. I use some Greek yogurt in place of some of the mayo. You still get the tang but it's a lot less fat and calories.
Great recipe! love all your videos this one makes me laugh because where I Live here in TX all you need is a food truck with little speakers on the top of it with this "Elotes con chile y mayonesa deliciosos!" If you set this up along the beach your set! haha
I thought I didn't like corn until I tried it this way. Normally I've just had it boiled with butter, salt and pepper. This was so much better. Grilling it really brings out the sweetness, even in cheap corn.
Thanks chef John.
Absolutely awesome, now I want me some corn!!!
BTW, if you ever come to India, you will find that all the corn sold on the streets is grilled on a small charcoal grill, slathered with lime and chilli powder and the husks serve as eco-friendly, portable 'plates' to hold the hot cob as you sink your teeth into it.
Hey Chef John, this is the second recipe of yours that has specified to buy mayo "the real stuff". What is the real stuff or what is the fake stuff?
I made it. It was grand! I was surprised by how much more filling it seemed than your average ear of corn. It's well worth the effort. Thanks!

Concerned about the quality of coffee in Beijing, I'm traveling with a french press. While the Bodum works great, I've gone through two since my last post. They crack in my suitcase. I'm guessing it's the pressure and depressurization cycles on the plane and eventually the crack spreads, fills with coffee, and that's the end of that Bodum. So, I found a stainless steel travel press/mug, removed the handle (takes up too much space), grinded down the handle mounts, adorned it with bike shop stickers from Elliot Bay and here I come Beijing with hot, strong coffee in Senor Muggy.

There's also the Aerobee Aeropress: http://aerobie.com/Products/aeropress.htm
I haven't used one, but I've read a lot of great reviews.
That's correct, but I was concerned about the durabilty and travel space—that thing is huge. Unless the make a small one.
Wow, where did you get that French Press mug?
That's a Starbuck's branded Bodum Stainless Steel travel mug that I modified for travel. It works so well, I use it at home.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- The Barnum and Bailey Circus is in town and opening night is on Thursday. Time could be running out for the company managing the Augusta Entertainment Complex.
Global Spectrum currently has that contract, but coliseum board members could be looking for other companies. The mats are out and lights are lit while the final screws are being put into place.
"What's cool about our show is that it's a one-ring circus. You get personal interactive experience with our acts," said Ringmaster David Shipman.
He's the ringmaster for the 143rd Ringley Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus. Tickets are selling because people want to see the show.
"Like the high wire, the juggling and the classic Barnum and Bailey elephants," Shipman said.
Global Spectrum has been overseeing the Augusta Entertainment Complex for five years. Recently, coliseum board members put the contract out for bid.
"We feel like they have done an excellent job in the five years they've been here," said Coliseum Authority Chairman Cedric Johnson.
He's right. Global Spectrum says they sold out more than 30 shows, held 600 events and grossed nearly $30 million.
"Global has done an excellent job. They have been very efficient and effective at making sure we had acts that all people would come to," Johnson said.
Global employs nearly 30 to 35 full-time employees. Those workers' employment hangs in the balance if the company doesn't win the bid.
"If another company was successful at getting the bid, that is a possibility," Johnson said.
Johnson says his members are just trying to get the best deal for taxpayers.
"We want to make sure everybody understands this has nothing to do with the performance Global has done for us," Johnson said.

I've watched this video a few times & they are such a great couple. How many times in her life do you suppose that sweet, silly man told her to 'pull your dress down & show your boobies'? So sweet, so fun, so beautiful.
That's what real love looks like.

BOSTON -- Is Drew Pomeranz under consideration to make his first start of the season this week?
The A's have a double-header against Seattle on Wednesday, and nobody is being ruled out for a starting assignment, including Pomeranz.
In a practical sense, the lefty-throwing Pomeranz is unlikely to get the call because his arm hasn't been stretched out. A starter is expected to throw in the neighborhood of 75 pitches, and Pomeranz has only been over 40 pitches twice this year, including a 41-pitch effort on April 15.
So Josh Lindblom and Arnold Leon, both of whom had their starts adjusted at Triple-A Sacramento to make them available for Wednesday, remain the competitors for the job. The A's had a double-header on April 2, and Lindblom got the call. He allowed two runs in 42/3 innings and left with the lead, but the bullpen blew up in the ninth.
Pomeranz does remain a viable option for starting at some point this season, however.
"He's a guy who has always been a starter, and we liked what we saw of him this spring," manager Bob Melvin said. "What we've seen early this season suggests he would have success, whether that's in the long role in the bullpen or starter. We got him to a pitch count (56) that would suggest if dire need came up, he would be one of the guys we would look at.''
Pomeranz, acquired from the A's during the off-season in a trade that sent Brett Anderson to Colorado, made 34 appearances for the Rockies over the previous three seasons. Of those, 30 were starts.
Pomeranz came to the A's with a 4-14 record and 5.20 ERA. Pitching only out of the bullpen for Oakland, he's 1-1 with a 1.98 ERA, but Melvin sees him moving back to starting if he can get his arm stretched out.
"I can only go on what I've seen, and what we've seen is a guy with great stuff," the manager said. "He's got a plus fastball. He's got a breaking ball that's very tough to track. He is a power guy and he's showed us since he's been here that he can get right-handers out too. Everything he's done for us right now has been really good."

Frankly, I'm not very familiar with the political records of Govs. Jay Inslee of Washington, Steve Beshear of Kentucky and Daniel P. Malloy of Connecticut — but in one sense at least, I consider them three wise men.
That judgement is based on THIS OP-ED PIECE these governors have penned for the Washington Post:
In our states � Washington, Kentucky and Connecticut � the Affordable Care Act, or �Obamacare,� is working. Tens of thousands of our residents have enrolled in affordable health-care coverage. Many of them could not get insurance before the law was enacted.

Swimming and diving bested by Massachusetts
Oct. 31, 2011
Amherst, Mass. - The Stony Brook swimming and diving teams fell in a dual-meet against Massachusetts on Saturday, dropping a 184-105 decision on the men's side and a 181-117 result on the women's side.
Stony Brook compiled three first-place finishes on the day with junior Julie Policht (Toronto, Ontario) touching first in the 200 fly (2:09.97), senior Stephanie Gross (Fairport, N.Y.) beating the pack in the women's 100 free and senior Sean Conway (Oakdale, N.Y.) taking top honors in the men's 100 free.

In addition to winning the men's 100 free, Conway added a second-place standing in the 200 free with a mark of 1:46.68. Senior Ed McIntyre (Laurel, N.Y.) finished second behind Conway in the 100 free and tacked on a second-place effort in the 50 free as well.
In the diving competition, Stony Brook continued its early-season success with four second-place finishes.

'Boardwalk Empire,' Season 3, Episode 12, 'Margate Sands': TV Recap
The season finale of "Boardwalk Empire" opens with a half-dozen men gunned down, execution style, in the dead of night by Al Capone and his Chicago gangsters. It's a nod foreshadowing Capone's real-life 1929 St. Valentine's Day Massacre and Nucky's bloody re-coronation as king of Atlantic City.
Gunfire and dead bodies are piling up in Atlantic City's as Nucky and Gyp battle for control over the city and the lucrative bootleg liquor trade that runs through it. Nucky has pressed black gansta Chalky White and Capone to crush Gyp, who is backed with muscle and money by New York kingpin Joe Masseria.
As violence overwhelms Atlantic City, we see its impotent mayor trying to restore calm by telling a throng of reporters that the situation under control. But, the people know that Nucky is really running the show. On the steps of City Hall, the mayor, frustrated by accusations that he had lost control, shouts: "Let's get something straight. Nucky Thompson doesn't run this city. I do."
The declaration is met by an eruption of laughter. "That's a riot," one reporter quips.
Meanwhile, a real riot was beginning between Capone's and Chalky's restless men as racial tensions boiled at Nucky's stakeout, a lumberyard. Nucky prevents a brawl, but he's aware that a dust-up is inevitable among men who thrive off the kill and harbor an innate dislike for one another. "Gotta blow off steam some kind of ways," Chalky says to Nucky after he's told to stand down.
Back at the Artemis Club, an unhappy Masseria pays a visit to Gyp to inquire why his men are dying in the raging gang war while Nucky remains alive. It's one of the most pivotal scenes in the episode because it reveals Gyp's fatal battle strategy. Gyp boasts to Masseria that he has Nucky's hotel, casino and warehouse and points out that half of Nucky's men are "shines" a reference to Chalky's "Negro" henchmen.
But, Masseria reminds Gyp that "You no have Nucky Thompson" and that he needs to think with his head, not his gun.
Masseria notes that even if Nucky's back-up is mostly black "They are from here. This is their home. That's why they fight."
Masseria gives Gyp an impromptu lesson in the art of war; he looks at his pocket watch and notices the clock on the wall is wrong. Masseria corrects the clock's hand and says to Gyp, "Perfecto. Now you know what time it is."
Gillian then walks in the office and suggests to Gyp that she and Tommy go away for a while. Gyp revealing to Gillian that she is now his captive squashes her plan. He then tries to appeal to Gillian with promises of fine things and posh life if she became his woman. At first, Gillian is intrigued and humors Gyp as he gives a hint of deviant sexual impulses that Gillian latter exploits to plot her escape.
We then come back to Nucky who receives an offer he can't refuse. Arnold Rothstein tells Nucky that he can get Masseria to pull his support from Gyp if Nucky agrees to hand over ownership of the lucrative Overholt distillery in Pennsylvania. Nucky was running the distillery on behalf of Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon. Nucky, realizing that Gyp was toast without Masseria, agreed to Rothstein's terms.
But, not only did Nucky set up Gyp, he led Rothstein into his own trap. "Big bait catches big rat," Nucky says to Eli as he hangs up on Rothstein.
To secure his freedom, Lucky offers up 50 pounds of heroin to a pair of men he believes are police officers. When he and Myer Lansky meet at Masseria's office he sees that Rothstein tricked him out of the heroin by using fake cops as a ruse. Rothstein makes a deal with Masseria to make him a partner in his heroin trade in exchange for abandoning Gyp.
At the Artemis House, Gillian is indulging Gyp's bondage fantasy that involves Gyp getting choked with his belt. As Gyp succumbs, she tries to inject him with heroin. Gyp overpowers her and then shoots her with the heroin, knocking her out. He goes to the window and sees his men getting in their cars and driving off.
As Gyp realizes he's being abandoned, Richard enters the club and guns down Gyp's men in order to free Tommy. Gyp escapes, but nearly all of his men are killed by the masked man. Richard finally reaches Tommy's room only to see one of Gyp's guys holding a gun to the six-year old's head. Richard cleverly shoots the captor as he appears to surrender, leaving Tommy unharmed. Richard deposits the boy at the doorstep of his love Julia.
The remainder of Gyp's men fared no better. The Capone and Chalky contingency assassinated all of the men along a wooded road and effectively ended the war.
"Well, I got that out of my system," Capone said.
"You and me both," Chalky shot back. They shared laugh as Capone packed up his men and headed back to Chicago.
Next, Nucky and Eli are at Artemis walking over a debris of dead bodies on the floor and up the staircase. They see Gillian in drugged stupor and one of Gyp's men hiding in a closet. We're aware later that Nucky bribes the man to kill Gyp in exchange for his life.
Nucky is also wrapping up unfinished business with Rothstein, who turned his back on Nucky when he needed help against Gyp. Nucky's trap is finally sprung when we see Secretary Mellon placing a call to Assistant Attorney General Esther Randolph to offer her in a career- making case. Mellon tells Randolph that his Overholt distillery was "commandeered" by mobsters and that she should arrest Rothstein.
Mulling over his defeat while urinating on the Jersey beach the next morning, Gyp contemplates a move West. He then starts to spoof Nucky as the bugged eyed Barney Google. But it's Nucky that finally has the last laugh as the bribed man stabs Gyp to death.
After securing Atlantic City, Nucky tries to win Margaret back where he finds her in a rundown boarding house. She had just aborted Owen's baby. Nucky promises to forgive her affair with Owen and offers her money. She refuses his overture.
In the final scene we see Nucky, back in control walking along the boardwalk. He's struts along in his trademark dark pin-striped suit, hat and a fresh red carnation stuck in his lapel.
As he leans on a rail along the beach, a couple stops and man approaches: "Say, you're Nucky Thompson, aren't you?"
Nucky glares and the couple leaves. He lights a cigarette, removes the red carnation and throws it on the boardwalk and disappears into its bright lights and frivolity.
Yes. It's Nucky Thompson, but it's not the same man.

About the Book
Author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Against All Enemies, former presidential advisor and counter-terrorism expert Richard A. Clarke sounds a timely and chilling warning about America's vulnerability in a terrifying new international conflict—Cyber War! Every concerned American should read this startling and explosive book that offers an insider's view of White House 'Situation Room' operations and carries the reader to the frontlines of our cyber defense. Cyber War exposes a virulent threat to our nation's security. This is no X-Files fantasy or conspiracy theory madness—this is real.
Richard A. Clarke warned America once before about the havoc terrorism would wreak on our national security -- and he was right. Now he warns us of another threat, silent but equally dangerous. Cyber War is a powerful book about technology, government, and military strategy; about criminals, spies, soldiers, and hackers. This is the first book about the war of the future -- cyber war -- and a convincing argument that we may already be in peril of losing it.
Cyber War goes behind the "geek talk" of hackers and computer scientists to explain clearly and convincingly what cyber war is, how cyber weapons work, and how vulnerable we are as a nation and as individuals to the vast and looming web of cyber criminals. From the first cyber crisis meeting in the White House a decade ago to the boardrooms of Silicon Valley and the electrical tunnels under Manhattan, Clarke and coauthor Robert K. Knake trace the rise of the cyber age and profile the unlikely characters and places at the epicenter of the battlefield. They recount the foreign cyber spies who hacked into the office of the Secretary of Defense, the control systems for U.S. electric power grids, and the plans to protect America's latest fighter aircraft.
Economically and militarily, Clarke and Knake argue, what we've already lost in the new millennium's cyber battles is tantamount to the Soviet and Chinese theft of our nuclear bomb secrets in the 1940s and 1950s. The possibilities of what we stand to lose in an all-out cyber war -- our individual and national security among them -- are just as chilling. Powerful and convincing, Cyber War begins the critical debate about the next great threat to national security.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"Chilling... [A] harrowing — and persuasive — picture of the cyberthreat the United States faces today." — Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
"Clarke and Knake are right to sound the alarm." — Wall Street Journal
"[CYBER WAR] may be the most important book about national-security policy in the last several years." — Slate
"In this chilling and eye-opening book, Clarke and Knake provide a highly detailed yet accessible look at how cyber warfare is being waged and the need to rethink our national security to face this new threat." — Booklist
"Will strengthen Clarke's claims as one of the founding fathers of cybersecurocracy....It is worth buying this book if only for his pithy five-page vision of this coming apocalypse and a return to stone-age conditions within a week, all because of a few pesky hackers and viruses." — Financial Times

TORONTO (AP) -- Canadian police have charged one current and one former police officer in a scheme to smuggle US$203,000 (CA$200,000) worth of cheese and other foods into Canada.
Niagara Regional Police said Friday that cheese and other foods were purchased in the U.S. and smuggled into Canada without declaring the items or paying duty.
The items were then prepared for distribution to restaurants in southern Ontario for an estimated profit of more than US$168,000 (CA$165,000).
Niagara police Const. Constable Scott Heron, 39, faces charges that include conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, smuggling and other violations of customs law. Heron was suspended from the police force in June.

English Civil War - Why Did Parliament Win? Plus Support And Websites
Posted 21 May 2003 - 05:35 PM
Posted 21 May 2003 - 08:25 PM
This site on the English Civil Wars will be particularly useful to you for the topic if you are just starting work on the English Civil Wars and this page is good on who exactly the Cavaliers and the Roundheads were. However, you should note 'chevalier' means 'horseman', not 'horse'.
For further research there is a good page of annotated links to information on the English Civil Wars here on the School History site of which this HistoryHelp Forum is a part. I suggest you look at those.

If you rephrase your question we will try and answer it.
At the moment it is not really clear, and the part in the brackets reads as very rude.
I am sure that is not your intention, and we would be happy to answer your query and help you out, but before we do so we would like you to repost your question in a clearer form.
Thank you.

Hi! Im doing this project about the civil war. One of the quetions I have to answer is why did some people support the King and others support Parliament? Does anyone know any good websites where I could find some detailed but easy to understand information about the reasons the king was popular wit some people and the parliament with others.
Welcome to the Forum.
This is an interesting question. There is lots about the run-up to the English Civil War on the forum, so a forum search might be helpful. The History Learning Site is usually a good place to start; have a look at this page on the Stuarts and scroll down to the section on Charles I and politics, then read some of the other pages. These should give you some clues. The page on the Five Members from the Spartacus Schoolnet site should also be useful.
Please note, these sources won't necessarily explain the question you want answered, but they will give reasons why people were opposed to either the King or Parliament. Have a look at them and then get back to us if you have any more questions.

does any 1 no why the roundheads beat the cavaliers (and i don't wont an answer that's because they beat the cavaliers).
Just to update this a little.
There is a thread about this on the forum here and another one here.
If you do a forum search you will find there is lots of information on the English Civil War, including details of websites. For example, there is a new website here.
