Sen. Rand Paul Hires John Yob Ahead of Potential 2016 Bid
In the latest sign Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul is ramping up for a presidential bid, his leadership PAC has hired Republican consultant John Yob as national political director and chief strategist of its Michigan operation.
Mr. Yob is the third state-level hire by RANDPAC in the last month, following the hirings of Steve Grubbs in Iowa and Mike Biundo in New Hampshire.
RANDPAC is backing a number of candidates crucial to a GOP takeover of the Senate, including Cory Gardner in Colorado, Thom Tillis in North Carolina, Steve Daines in Montana, Terri Lynn Land in Michigan and Joni Ernst in Iowa. After November, RANDPAC is expected to evolve into a vehicle for Mr. Paul's presidential campaign that will tap operatives from his 2010 Senate race and the 2012 presidential campaign of his father, Ron Paul.
Mr. Yob served as national political director for John McCain during the 2008 primary season and ran state and national convention delegate operations for Rick Santorum in 2012. In Michigan, he helped elect Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, Lt. Gov. Brian Calley and Attorney General Bill Schuette in 2010. He also worked on the tea-party backed campaigns of Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell and Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle in 2010.
Most recently, Mr. Yob advised Republican primary campaigns by Nebraska Senate candidate Ben Sasse and Florida Rep. Curt Clawson.
Mr. Paul has already made several trips to the states that host the earliest nominating contests, and he is planning a three-day swing through Iowa and a trip to South Carolina next month. He's also been reaching out to audiences not typically courted by Republicans; last week he addressed the National Urban League in Cincinnati.
"The Republican Party is going to need to learn how to reach out to non-traditional Republican groups in order to win a national election again given the changing demographics in a post-Obama era," Mr. Yob said in written statement. "Senator Paul has the ability to inspire a new generation of conservatives, libertarians, and disaffected Democrats in states across the country. I am proud to join the team and look forward to building the strongest political operation in America."
The backlash to a possible presidential bid by Mr. Paul, a leading critic of U.S. intervention overseas, has already started. Former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz Cheney have launched a new organization aimed at pushing back against the rising tide of libertarianism that's led by Mr. Paul and advocating for a strong national defense. "Isolationism is crazy," Mr. Cheney said earlier this month, referring to Mr. Paul's position.

Dentistry/Oral Market Research Reports & Industry Analysis
Dentistry is the area of medical practice that concerns the examination observation and treatment of diseases, disorders and conditions of the oral cavity, maxillofacial area and the adjacent and associated structures and their impact on the human body. In addition to being a primary health concern, Dentistry is increasingly widely considered necessary for overall health.
Doctors who practice dentistry are known as dentists. The dentist's supporting team aids in providing oral health services, which includes dental assistants, dental hygienists, dental technicians, and dental therapists. Dentistry includes essential practices related to the oral cavity.
The majority of dental treatments are carried out to prevent or treat the two most common oral diseases which are dental caries (tooth decay) and periodontal disease (gum disease or pyorrhea). Common treatments involve the restoration of teeth as a treatment for dental caries (fillings), extraction or surgical removal of teeth which cannot be restored, scaling of teeth to treat periodontal problems and endodontic root canal treatment to treat abscessed teeth. Market research reports in dentistry may include those for equipment, supplies, pharmaceuticals and imaging devices, as well as reports on the dental practice.

StemCells entered an agreement with the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) under which CIRM will provide approximately $19.3 million to help fund preclinical development and Investigational New Drug (IND) enabling activities of HuCNS-SC®, the company's product candidate (purified human neural stem cells) for Alzheimer's disease.
The funding will be in the form of a forgivable loan. It was awarded under CIRM's Disease Team Therapy Development Award program (RFA 10-05) in September 2012. The goal of the research will be to file an IND application with the U.S. FDA within four years.
"With CIRM's support, we are now able to lay the groundwork that could result in the world's first neural stem cell trial in Alzheimer's patients," commented Martin McGlynn, president and CEO of StemCells.
StemCells will collaborate with researchers at the University of California, Irvine (UCI). In July 2012, the UCI team presented data at the Alzheimer's Association Annual Meeting demonstrating that the company's neural stem cells restored memory and significantly enhanced synaptic function in two animal models relevant to Alzheimer's disease. According to the firm, these results did not require reduction in beta amyloid or tau that accumulates in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease and account for the pathological hallmarks of the disease.

Given the mishmash of state and federal agencies responsible for ensuring dams are safe, it is difficult enough to know whether a given impoundment is cause for concer....

Now why would we want unhealthy people to have health insurance? Gee people that would cost the insurance companies a little money. Let them go to the ER the taxpayers will pick up the cost.

MountainTwerp, according to the following story you had better get out your wallet, that is if you have one. Keep drinking the koolaid you dummy. "Internal cost estimates from 17 of the nation's largest insurance companies indicate that health insurance premiums will grow an average of 100 percent under Obamacare, and that some will soar more than 400 percent, crushing the administration's goal of affordability. New regulations, policies, taxes, fees and mandates are the reason for the unexpected "rate shock," according to the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which released a report Monday based on internal documents provided by the insurance companies. The 17 companies include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Kaiser Foundation. The report found that individuals will face "premium increases of nearly 100 percent on average, with potential highs eclipsing 400 percent."

The historic stone fort, Fort Frederick, will be the backdrop for more than 1,000 period-costumed living historians during the French & Indian War's 250th anniversary event.
"The focus is on education and the understanding of our world history," said Tom Vogeley, a Maryland high school history teacher and British Officer for the event. "Where else can a family see a 1757 Woodland Indian Summer Camp, and walk among them?"
During the event a time and place will be set aside to meet a historical character, such as a "Molly," a military engineer, a seamstress, a surgeon, a French Officer, a wood wright, an artillerist, a wampum maker and many more.
The Friends of Fort Frederick will host the event starting on Friday, July 26.
"The Friends will bring over 40 artisans and period goods sellers to make even shopping an education experience," said Ralph Young, a member of the Friends group.
This special event is sponsored by the Maryland State Parks, the Friends of Fort Frederick, The Grand Encampment Council and the main sponsor, the Hagerstown-Washington County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
This Maryland 250th Anniversary of the French & Indian War Event will be open to the public from 10 am to 5 pm each day. Parking is free. A special event service fee will be charged.
Fort Frederick is located off Interstate 70, Exit 12 at State Route 56 near Big Pool. For more information about the event, visit www.dnr.maryland.gov/publiclands/western/for tfrederick.asp.

That's how long Ivy's egg-carton-squirrel art project from library class sat on the counter before I threw it away.

Tomorrow there will be a photo shoot at my house (complete with makeup & hair stylist!) for an exciting new project I'll be working on. I need to clear away the Halloween candy wrappers and wash some laundry. Oh, and color my hair.
Dude. Did you hear about the pregnant mom that got arrested after forgetting to pay for sandwiches at Safeway?

This is a purse basket, so cute! When I saw it I had to have it. It is made of Ash splints and Sweet Grass and there are only two small breaks in the splints. There are no breaks in the parts that you would think, like the sides where the purse bends in when closed. Whoever owned this before me, they sure took care of this beauty! I am not sure which tribe made this, Penobscot or Passamaquoddy. If someone looks at this and recognizes a particular tribe please let me know. It is small, only about 7 inches high (including the handle) and about 6 inches long by about 3 inches wide. I fell in love with this basket the moment I saw it!

WEEHAWKEN, N.J. — Dan Marr's job as director of NHL Central Scouting involves ranking all the prospects from around the globe in order. It sounds tough, but he'd rather do that than put together a mock draft.
"Anybody trying to guess the order of this year's draft, good luck with that," he said Friday.
The depth and razor-thin differences in talent level make this year's entry draft, which will be held Sunday in the New Jersey Devils' arena, intriguing and unpredictable. Still, a cottage industry exists for mock drafts, and the prospects can't help but see them.
"They're hard to stay away from," Sean Monahan, the fifth-ranked skater in North America, said at the league's annual prospects luncheon. "People show you them or you get tweeted at. They're all over."
They've become a source of worry for Hunter Shinkaruk, the sixth-ranked North American.
"Everyone here has a feeling of maybe a team that might take you, and then you're waiting and they don't take you, then it's like, 'Uh-oh,' " the forward said. "That feeling is what I'm most nervous for."
It's possible Shinkaruk or Monahan could hear his name called when Buffalo picks eighth. They attended the Sabres' scouting combine and interview session this month and walked away feeling both sides benefited from the experience.
"I went on the ice and I was looking up, and it was another NHL rink that I've skated on now," said Shinkaruk, who totaled 86 goals the past two seasons for Medicine Hat of the Western Hockey League. "Everything went well."
Monahan was a one-man show on a poor Ottawa team, which allowed the center to learn every aspect of the game. His scoring ability and two-way awareness would fit in well with Buffalo.
"I think I had a pretty good impression with them," he said along the Hudson River with the New York skyline in the background.
Still, as Marr said, there's little use in guessing destinations. That's true even at the top.
Colorado is set to select first and has strongly implied it will take center Nathan MacKinnon rather than No. 1-ranked prospect Seth Jones. The Avalanche, though, have met with both and didn't tell either one they will or won't take him.
"I can't think about getting drafted by a certain team," MacKinnon said. "I try not to get too high about that kind of stuff. The draft is still a couple days away, and I don't want to have my expectations too high going into it since I can't control anything. It's up to them. Whatever decision they make will be the right one."
Indeed, it seems there's no way to go wrong at the top. Jones projects as a stud defenseman, while MacKinnon and Halifax teammate Jonathan Drouin are first-line talents.
Toss in Aleksander Barkov, the top-rated European, and four teams should be very, very happy.
"I'm not going to be surprised at any of the top three or four players that can go No. 1," Marr said. "That order is just completely up in the air. The teams that are making their choices, it's going to be a difficult choice, but it's going to be a great one for their fans."
Although the prospects look like kids – and in some cases still are – they've already begun the transition from NHL fans to NHL players.
Jones, MacKinnon, Drouin and the fourth-ranked skater, defenseman Darnell Nurse, attended Game Three of the Stanley Cup finals and were more than casual observers.
"As a kid when you go to games, you're just excited to be there," MacKinnon said. "Now, and speaking for the other three guys over there, we kind of look at it differently. We were just trying to see how we fit in."
By all accounts, they should fit in just fine. It's just a matter of guessing the order.
"I think the top four, all could be NHL-ready," Marr said. "If any of them were to make a team out of camp, it wouldn't surprise me."

Moyer to speak at fall commencement
A new class of more than 100 Penn State Berks students will receive their baccalaureate and associate degrees on Friday, December 21, 2012, at 7:30 p.m. in the Beaver Community Center when Berks hosts the fall 2012 commencement ceremony.
The keynote speaker will be Glenn E. Moyer, Pennsylvania Secretary of Banking and Securities. In this position, Moyer provides overall leadership to the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities, which fosters strong financial services industries for the Commonwealth by ensuring the safety and soundness of state-chartered financial institutions, the compliance with laws that govern financial service entities, and the protection of consumers and investors in financial matters.
The department supervises more than 225 Pennsylvania state-chartered banks, thrifts, trust companies and credit unions, and licenses more than 15,000 non-depository financial services companies that provide a variety of consumer loans and financial services. The department also oversees the submission and clearing of more than 5,000 securities offerings annually, while licensing more than 190,000 individuals and companies who offer various levels of investment advice and/or planning in the Commonwealth.
By virtue of his position as Secretary of Banking and Securities, Moyer also serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency and as a board director of six other state government-related entities.
Moyer was born and raised in the Boyertown area. He is a graduate of Penn State University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in secondary education. He also earned master's degrees in education from Eastern New Mexico University and business administration from St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia. Following graduation from college, he served as an officer in the U.S. Air Force, stationed at Cannon Air Force Base in New Mexico.
Upon his return to Pennsylvania, Moyer joined the American Bank and Trust Co. of PA, which later became Meridian Bank. Subsequently, he served as president and CEO of The Elverson National Bank and National Penn Bank and its holding company, National Penn Bancshares, Inc., Boyertown.
Moyer and his wife, Jane, reside in Oley Township, and have two married children and a grandchild.

Erin Steffen has the perfect summer job. She is a beach lifeguard for the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission.
"The typical day is long but an awesome day," said Steffen, a junior at the College of Charleston. "It's an amazing job. The people are so friendly, so welcoming. It's a great group of people to work with.
"And you can't beat being out on the beach all summer long. You feel like you're wanted, like you're doing something helpful for the community."
Charleston County PRC has begun the process of hiring lifeguards for the coming swimming season at Folly Beach Pier, Isle of Palms County Park and Beachwalker Park at Kiawah Island as well as at three water park locations.
More than 250 lifeguards are expected to work during the coming season. Information on becoming a lifeguard can be found at ccprc.com, and if interested, you should hurry. In order to be considered for a position, participants must pass mandatory tests for swimming (500 meters in nine minutes or less) and running (one mile in eight minutes or less) by March 21.
The tests are done at St. Andrews Family Fitness Center in West Ashley 6:30-8:30 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays and noon-2 p.m. Saturdays.
New lifeguards go through what is called a rookie school and then must complete surf school.
Stephen Fernandez, safety program assistant manager for Charleston County PRC, said beach lifeguards are on duty 10 a.m.-6 p.m. seven days a week from Memorial Day until Labor Day.
A typical day for a beach lifeguard, he said, begins with setting up safety equipment early in the morning, training 9-10 a.m., then working rotations 10 a.m.-6 p.m. before packing up the equipment.
In between rotations on the stand, lifeguards continue to go through training sessions.
"In our history, no one has drowned in our guarded swimming areas," Fernandez said. "What our lifeguards encounter a lot is people getting caught in rip currents. Our big thing is prevention. We record preventative actions, we record swim assists and swim rescues."
Preventive actions, Fernandez said, are any time a lifeguard blows the whistle for someone going in water that's over chest deep or actions that may result in an injury.
He said lifeguards record thousands of such actions over the course of the swimming season.
Swim assists, such as accompanying a swimmer who has drifted too far out, are probably in the dozens, and lifeguards record maybe a dozen rescues over the season.
Fernandez said he has never had to do CPR.
"The most dramatic things I've been involved with are rip-current rescues, pier rescues where the water is really rough," Fernandez said. "I know there are a handful of people out there that are living today that if I or other lifeguards didn't get to that person when we did, they wouldn't still be here. We made a difference getting out there."
Likewise, Steffen said she has never been involved in a tragic scenario, but she knows she is prepared. She's had to "save" her supervisor twice as part of unannounced testing and observations. And that's fine with her.

Petr David Josek/The Associated Press
LONDON � April Ross and Jennifer Kessy walked off the Olympic sand with one flag draped over them both, wearing the stars and stripes and also big smiles as the second-best U.S. beach volleyball team. And the second-best in the world.
The Olympic rookies lost 21-16, 21-16 to three-time champions Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor on Wednesday night � and falling short in an all-American final was a remarkable accomplishment in itself for these two.
They were never supposed to beat their world-power American teammates. They were never supposed to make it to the gold-medal match at all in their Olympic debut at Horse Guards Parade.
�We wanted this so bad,� Ross said. �Looking at the field when we got here, just looking at our pool and who was in our pool, it was like, �I just hope we come out of pool.� Then we got first. The field was so tough, coming into this tournament I couldn�t imagine going home with a medal.�
When the reality of what they had just done finally hit them, Kessy and Ross made their way out of the competition arena and fell together into the arms of their coach, Jeff Conover.
�We�re really proud of what we did here,� Ross said.
Now, Kessy and Ross have little time to celebrate second place and get over coming so close to their first title of the year. Monday, a day after they attend the closing ceremony of the London Games, they�re off to Poland for a grand slam event that�s key for making money and piling up points. The tournament was in the plans all along.
�We did some really good stuff. Even though we got silver it�s a huge accomplishment,� Conover said. �It�s the best we�ve played all year, so to do it on the biggest stage is great. If we�re going to lose to anybody it might as well be to more Americans and people in the program and people we like and are friends with.�
Kessy and Ross showed the world they were serious about joining Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor in making their mark on these Olympics.
The pair rallied from a set down to stun reigning world champions Juliana and Larissa of Brazil in a three-set semifinal Tuesday night while playing in a steady rain. They were strong on offense the entire way and made strides in their block defense, too. They impressed their coach with the fight and mental toughness they showed in three-setters.
�This is the goal for four years. We�re going to just enjoy it,� Ross said. �We really can�t wait to get home to the U.S. and play domestically, and we�re probably going to try to recharge for that a little bit.�
This pair has averaged two tournament wins per year but still is looking for victory No. 1 of 2012.
�Hopefully we take this into Poland and have that attitude of, �Hey, we want to prove everybody wrong still, and silver�s not good enough for us, and we want to go win a tournament this year,�� Conover said.
The 35-year-old Kessy plans to play for one more year before retiring. Ross and Walsh Jennings each said separately Wednesday that they could wind up as partners ahead of the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
�She�s a winner,� Walsh Jennings said. �She�s a champion, she�s a fighter, she�s someone I�d be honored to play with.�
For now, Kessy and Ross are going to think about what�s immediately next and cherish this special run before they play again next week.
�We�re going to be wearing these medals when we�re old ladies drinking coffee by the fire,� Kessy said. �This feels amazing.�

Team claims both Th1+ and Thy1- stem cells expressing CD49f are capable of long-term, multilineage engraftment in xenograft mouse models.[Yang MingQi - Fotolia.com]
Scientists claim to have identified markers that enable the segregation of rare, truly pluripotent human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from multipotent progenitors (MPPS). They identified CD49f as a specific marker for pluripotent HSCs, enabling their isolation using flow cytometry.
The team, at the Campbell Family Institute for Cancer Research/Ontario Cancer Institute, tracked the expression of a number of adhesion molecules in HSC-enriched subsets. They report their work in Science in a paper titled "Isolation of Single Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells Capable of Long-Term Multilineage Engraftment."
Self-renewing human HSCs that are capable of giving rise to all the different cell types in the blood system are rare and hard to isolate from the mix of transient MPPS in stem cell populations, report John E. Dick, Ph.D., and colleagues. Although transplant and xenograft repopulation studies have suggested that the bulk of HSCs are CD34+, most CD34+ cells are actually lineage-restricted progenitors.
HSCs can be enriched further on the basis of CD45RA, Thy1, and CD38 expression. Previous results suggesting that Thy1 represents a marker for true HSCs is tenuous, however, the Ontario researchers claim.
To try and identify markers that more definitively segregate true HSCs from MPPs, the team optimized an HSC xenograft assay in experimental mice to functionally characterize flow-sorted lineage-depleted cord blood HSCs (CD34+CD38−CD45RA−Thy1+; designated as Thy1+) and MPPs (CD34+CD38−CD45RA− Thy1−; designated as Thy1−). The main criterion for HSC function was defined by lymphomyeloid engraftment that persisted for at least 20 weeks after transplant, the authors note.
Interestingly, they found that Thy1- cells could be serially transplanted over long periods, albeit at lower efficiencies than Thy1+ cells but nevertheless suggesting that cells with extensive self-renewal potential exist in both Thy1+ and Thy1− subsets.
Limiting dilution analysis (LDA) studies showed that 1/20 Thy1+ cells clonally initiated long-term hematopoiesis in the mice, compared with 1/100 Thy1− cells. "Thus, although Thy1+ enriches for HSCs, long-term repopulating activity persists in the Thy1− fraction previously believed to represent MPPS," the authors write.
Culturing both Thy1- and Thy+ cells with stromal cells threw up the unexpected finding that Thy1- cells consistently generated Thy1+ cells and that these Thy1+ cells demonstrated robust repopulating activity in mice 20 weeks after transplantation. In fact, engraftment and lineage potentials were identical for Thy1+ cells derived from either the originally Thy - or the originally Thy1+ subfractions. Conversely, cells that remained Thy1− after being cultured on stroma did not sustain long-term grafts.
The researchers therefore extended their search for a different cell surface marker that could identify HSCs in both Thy1+ and Thy1- fractions. They compared the surface expression of several adhesion molecules in HSC-enriched (Thy1+) and -depleted (Thy1−) fractions. Among the potential candidates, only ITGA6 (integrin α6, or CD49f ) was differentially expressed, with 50 -70% of Thy1+ cells, and 10-20% of Thy1− cells expressing CD49f.
The team then evaluated the capacity of CD49f- and CD49+ Thy1+ cells for long-term multilineage chimerism in mouse recipients. This showed that the mean chimerism was 6.7-fold higher for Thy1+CD49f + cells than for Thy1+CD49f – cells, and only Thy1+CD49f + cells could be serially transplanted. Importantly, LDA revealed that 9.5% of Thy1+CD49f + cells had long-term repopulating activity, compared with only 0.9% of the Thy1+CD49f – cells.
Repeating the studies with CD49f- and CD49f+ Thy1- cells, demonstrated that even some Thy1-CF49+ cells were capable of reconstitution in mice, and 4.5% of cells in this fraction had long-term multilineage engraftment potential. No difference in lineage potential was observed between Thy1+CD49f + and Thy1−CD49f + cells, although recipients of Thy1+CD49f+ cells tended to demonstrate higher levels of chimerism at similar cell doses.
By studying the peripheral blood of bone marrow and blood in mice transplanted with all four subsets of cells (Thy1+CD49+, Thy1-CD49+, Thy1+CD49-, and Thy1-CD49-), Dr. Dick's team was further able to determine that Thy1−CD49f − cells can still give rise to all major hematopoietic lineages but fail to engraft longterm, indicating that these are bona fide MPPS, they write. More specifically, they suggest, "considering that Thy1−CD49f − cells differ from CD49f + HSCs solely in the ability to engraft durably, an alternate interpretation is that Thy1−CD49f − cells are short-term HSCs."
Gene-expression analysis of CD49f+ and Thy1−CD49f – subsets found no major differences, although Thy1−CD49f + HSCs displayed an intermediate pattern to Thy1+CD49f +HSCs and MPPs. In contrast, 70 differentially expressed genes segregated Thy1−CD49f – MPPs from the HSC subset. "These findings support our functional delineation of Thy1+CD49f + and Thy1−CD49f + HSCs as distinct from Thy1−CD49f − MPPS and identify gene-expression changes associated with the earliest steps of human HSC differentiation," the authors state. "The demarcation of human HSCs and MPPS will enable the investigation of the molecular determinants of HSCs, with a goal of developing stem cell-based therapeutics."

1. I miss watching the Peter, Paul, & Mary special on PBS with my Dad every Christmas.
2. One of my favorite holiday movies was Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas.
3. My favorite Christmas movies that are more recent are Elf and About A Boy.
4. I can remember so very clearly hearing Santa's reindeer on our roof when I was a little girl. I still sometimes think I can hear them on Christmas Eve.
5. If I could have the ultimate Christmas wish it would be to have all my family (Aunts, Uncles, Cousins) together for Christmas. We wouldn't even need presents.
6. I don't make Christmas cookies. Maybe someday. But for the longest time there have always been special diets or food allergies to work around.
7. I love love love love love when it snows on Christmas.
8. I have a nativity set that I used to keep out all year 'round, but Gray likes to play with it too much,
so I don't have it out this year.
9. It's hard for me to think of my favorite Christmas present ever because every year I get something really great. My mom is a really good gift-giver and
10. I don't care for candy canes much. But I do like the cherry ones sometimes.
11. We did not decorate our house outside with lights or anything this year. We say it's to be more "green"- using less energy and so forth- but secretly we just didn't feel like it. It's cold out there, yo!
12. In closing, here's Carter singing you his favorite holiday song, even though it's not about Christmas, I think it still counts:

Attorney General Dustin McDaniel says he agrees with fellow Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe's decision to pursue expanding Medicaid eligibility in Arkansas under the federal health care law.
McDaniel said Tuesday that the expansion makes sense in light of state estimates that show expanding the program's eligibility would save the state money. Beebe announced last week that he supports the expansion, but noted that it'll require passage by lawmakers.
McDaniel, a Democrat and the only announced candidate for the 2014 governor's race, spoke to the Political Animals Club Tuesday afternoon.
Under the health care law, the federal government would pay the full tab for the expansion when it begins in 2014. But after three years, states must pay a gradually increasing share that tops out at 10 percent of the cost.

El Paso's Triple-A baseball team finally has a name.
The Chihuahuas take their place in El Paso baseball history alongside previous affiliated teams the Diablos and Sun Kings, among others.
The team's name and logo were announced before an audience of youth baseball players and the media Tuesday afternoon in the The Plaza Theatre main auditorium.
Less than half an hour after the announcement, the Albuquerque Isotopes welcomed their new rivals.
"A big welcome from the Isotopes to the newest team to the PCL: the @epchihuahuas ...can't wait for the first Chihuahua vs. #Topes matchup!!" the Isotopes tweet read.
The Chihuahuas Twitter account, which was created several weeks ago, had a couple of followers Tuesday afternoon. Within 30 minutes of the announcement it had just over 150 followers.
MountainStar Sports Group, which owns the team, said the list of 5,600 name suggestions was narrowed based on creativity, marketability, fun, relevance to El Paso's unique character and the ability to trademark the name.
The team had a public voting contest as part of the process to name the team, as well. The finalists were Aardvarks, Desert Gators, Chihuahuas, Sun Dogs, and Buckaroos.
El Paso general manager Brad Taylor said Chihuahuas was chosen as the team name because they "represent fun and are fiercely loyal."
"Through the entire (branding) process, our focus was on fun and on finding something that could appeal to kids," Taylor said. "You have to believe in the brand, and stand by it, because the brand isn't just something that people hear -- it's something they see."
"El Pasoans played a significant role in identifying our new team name -- they attended focus groups, suggested several hundred different names, and voted in record numbers for all the names," said Alan Ledford, Chihuahuas president.
Shae Vierra, who submitted the Chihuahuas name, was chosen at random as the "Name the Team" contest winner, choosing the Chihuahuas for its reference to the popular dog and the Chihuahuan Desert. As the winner, Vierra will collect two season tickets, a personalized jersey and the opportunity to throw out one of the ceremonial first pitches on Opening Night.
Paul Foster, co-owner of the team, told ABC-7 it took a little bit of time for the Chihuahuas name to grow on him.
"The company we hired to do the branding, they do this all over the country. That's what they do," Foster said. "They are very good and they did a lot of research and put a lot of effort into it and when they rolled it out to us I kind of went, 'whoa, I don't know.' But it didn't take me very long at all to really fall in love with it."
Foster's wife, Alejandra De La Vega, said she liked the name Chihuahuas because it brings the region together. De La Vega was born in El Paso but spent much of her childhood in Ciudad Juarez in the Mexican state of Chihuahua.
"Look at the name and logos through the eyes of a child and you can't help but smile," Ledford said. "That's what we're all about."
The team colors are desert red, black, and Chihuahua tan.
Brandiose, a design firm in San Diego, created the Chihuahuas brand. Partners Jason Klein and Casey White have dreamed up over fifty team names and graphics, including brands for the Richmond Flying Squirrels, Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs, and America's oldest baseball club, the Cincinnati Reds.
"The development process began when Klein and White met in El Paso with fans, team staff, and community members to learn about the stories, history, and personality of the region. Brandiose developed the logos and team uniforms, and is developing elements of the fan experience including the Chihuahuas' forthcoming mascot." according to a post by the team on the Chihuahuas' official website.
"The Chihuahuas brand embodies El Paso's values of independence, community pride, and a fighting spirit," said White. "Fans will love seeing El Paso's Chihuahuas and the downtown ballpark will offer a world-class fan experience that will come to life next spring."
Barring any unforseen ballpark construction delays the team will play its first home game on April 11, 2014 in Downtown El Paso.
Reaction has been pretty negative toward the Chihuahuas name on social media, particularly on Twitter.
ElPasoChihuahuas is by far the stupidest name they could have come up with. Wow..."
Brianna tweeted, "Go home El Paso, you're drunk????? ElPasoChihuahu

Four Accused of Salmonella Coverup
WASHINGTON—The federal government brought felony charges against the former head of a peanut-processing company in connection with a deadly 2008-09 salmonella outbreak, in a case that one lawyer called the biggest of its kind in decades.
Food-poisoning cases have rarely led to criminal prosecutions in the past, but that may be changing; at least two other federal probes are under way into separate outbreaks.
The Justice Department on Thursday alleged that Stewart Parnell, the former owner of Peanut Corp. of America, and other employees engaged in a multiyear conspiracy to hide the fact that many of the company's products were tainted with salmonella.
Hundreds of people around the country got sick and nine died after eating peanut butter or other products that originated in a Peanut Corp. facility, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Prosecutors said the company failed to notify its customers—including several national food companies—when independent lab tests revealed the presence of salmonella. In some cases, company officials fabricated lab results, stating peanut products were salmonella-free even when tests showed otherwise, or when no tests had been conducted at all, the Justice Department said.
The 76-count indictment against Mr. Parnell and ex-employees includes charges of conspiracy, wire fraud, obstruction of justice and introducing adulterated food into the market.
A law firm representing Mr. Parnell said he would prepare a vigorous defense.
"As this matter progresses it will become clear that Mr. Parnell never intentionally shipped or intentionally caused to be shipped any tainted food products capable of harming PCA's customers," the law firm said. It said federal regulators made regular visits to the company's facility in Georgia and didn't object to the way it was testing for salmonella. Mr. Parnell declined to comment beyond his law firm's statement.
A 2009 Food and Drug Administration inspection of Peanut Corp.'s Blakely, Ga., plant found the company didn't clean adequately or take proper precautions to prevent food contamination. The FDA also said the plant had a leaky roof, poor ventilation and inadequate pest control.
The company at the time didn't respond to The Wall Street Journal's requests for comment about the FDA report on the inspection, released in January 2009.
Randy Napier, a North Carolina resident whose mother died in 2009 after eating contaminated peanut butter, said the charges brought him one step closer to closure. "I'm ecstatic," he said. "I was beginning to wonder if this day would ever come."
Bill Marler, a Seattle lawyer who represents victims of food-borne illnesses, including in the Peanut Corp. case, said the charges would make other food executives take notice.
"In 20 years, this is the first time I've seen a criminal indictment of this magnitude," said Mr. Marler, who added he has also been contacted by federal law-enforcement officials investigating a 2010 salmonella outbreak linked to eggs from Iowa and a 2011 Colorado listeria outbreak linked to cantaloupes.
The recent outbreaks prompted Congress two years ago to strengthen the federal government's food-safety powers. In a more recent salmonella outbreak linked to peanut butter, involving products sold by various retailers, the Food and Drug Administration used its new authority last November to shut down Sunland Inc.'s plant in New Mexico. Sunland said in a news release this week that it has reassessed its operations and controls in the wake of the outbreak and hopes to restart its peanut butter plant.
Tainted Food
The U.S. has seen several major outbreaks of food poisoning in recent years.
- 2008-2009 Salmonella in peanut butter blamed for nine deaths. Former owner and employees of Peanut Corp. of America charged Thursday with crimes tied to alleged coverup; a law firm said former owner denies allegations.
- 2010 Salmonella in eggs from Iowa farms sickens 1,900. Federal criminal probe under way; a farm owner apologized.
- 2011 Listeriosis linked to cantaloupes from Colorado farm blamed for 33 deaths; farm recalled cantaloupes. Federal criminal probe under way.
- 2012 Peanut butter made by Sunland Inc. linked to 42 cases of salmonella poisoning. Federal officials shut down Sunland plant; company said it is addressing problems.
Sources: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, WSJ research
After a customer notified Mr. Parnell that Peanut Corp. products had tested positive for salmonella, the owner allegedly responded—falsely—that he was "dumbfounded" by the finding and had never "seen any instance of this," according to the indictment.
In one internal email, Mr. Parnell allegedly told employees they could not waste peanuts. "These are not peanuts you are throwing away every day…IT IS MONEY," he wrote, according to the indictment.
The indictment also charged Mr. Parnell's brother, Michael Parnell, a former supervisor. Michael Parnell declined to comment. Two more employees were charged—former plant operator Samuel Lightsey and former quality-assurance manager Mary Wilkerson. Mr. Lightsey's lawyer said his client would plead not guilty. Attempts to locate Ms. Wilkerson were unsuccessful. The Justice Department said another former employee, Daniel Kilgore, pleaded guilty to several charges. Lawyers for Mr. Kilgore didn't respond to requests for comment.
Peanut Corp. sold peanut butter and peanut paste to companies that made products including cookies, crackers and pet food. More than 2,000 products were recalled. The company filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in early 2009, weeks after the outbreak began.

Dr. Kenneth P. Shiflet and Landmark Baptist Church of Elkins recently announced that Michael L. Cross was solemnly and publicly set apart and ordained to the work of the gospel ministry on May 20.
Ordination is recognition and confirmation of God's call upon an individual for ministry of the gospel and is an acknowledgment of a certain role within the body of Christ. It is a function of the local church. Because an ordained individual can influence and impact other churches, the ordination process can be a cooperative effort with affiliated churches. Involvement from other churches primarily takes place through representation and input at the ordination council.
Shiflet served as moderator for the ordination council and other members were Dr. James Sumpter, pastor emeritus of Landmark Baptist Church of Richmond, Va.; the Rev. Steve Mix of Kaysville Bible Church of Kaysville, Utah; and the Revs. Ron K. Davis and Don W. Hepler, assistant pastors at Landmark Baptist Church of Elkins.

Dr. Ken Shiflet presents the Rev. Michael Cross with his certification.
The ordination process consists of the candidate's preparation of a personal testimony and doctrinal statement and an examination session, which gives the council the opportunity for judging the God-given gifts, Christian experience, call to the ministry and views of Bible doctrine of the candidate.
Upon completion of the examination, which was open to the congregation, an ordination ceremony was conducted during the evening service at Landmark and a reception followed in the fellowship hall of the church.
Cross is a 2005 graduate of Elkins High School, a 2011 graduate of Appalachian Bible College and has been working as a pastoral intern and teen pastor at Landmark Baptist Church of Elkins since May 2011. He is the son of Ernie and Jackie Cross of Kerens. He and his wife, Lynnette, reside in Elkins.

We are only five days away from the 2011 NBA Draft
Whether you are a fan or not, the 2011 NBA draft has crept up on us. The energy and passion of the finals tended to take up more of the NBA hype, but now it's time for the draft. While there has been some good analysis of recent draft classes, I feel that the breakdowns this year has been lacking. Many have said that this year's class is extremely weak.
I do not necessarily buy into the fact that this is a weak class. Go back, take a look at the 2000 draft class and then tell me that this class is not as talented. Whether fans agree with me or not, I feel like there is some ideal "superstar" potential in this class. There might not be a Derrick Rose, LeBron James or Dwight Howard, but some of these players have legit talent.
The problem that surrounds scouts is trying to measure the ceiling on these players. Teams don't always draft on the fact that players can fit in their systems right away. Scouts must try to project how good a player will be in three to five years. Sometimes, it isn't necessary to outthink the crowd.
This year, several players have the talent to play immediately. Teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers, Utah Jazz and others will benefit from that. Some players have bust written all over them, which will make scouting departments work hard into the night. The rest of the players have gigantic question marks surrounding them. Certain players will prove to be gems, while others will flame out after a few seasons.
These are the questions that burn inside fan's minds. Which player fits in a team's system? Can players take their games to the next level? Do they have the mentality to be a champion?
Answers will start to come to fruition on June 23rd.
Stay tuned for more updates on the NBA Draft and its prospects throughout the day

A courageous K-9 helped Reading police nab man suspected of murder, officials said.
Jacob Santiago, 34, was arrested Monday inside his home in the 300 block of McKnight Street in Reading, police said.
Santiago tried to rob Alexander Stewart, 24, last Wednesday, just before 5:00 a.m., in the 200 block of Walnut Street in Reading, investigators said.
"The victim attempted to flee, to run away, and Jacob Santiago shot him at close range," said Sgt. John Solecki, Reading Police Department.
Stewart's body was later found on the parking lot of the GoggleWorks, police said.
A review of surveillance footage, along with interviews with neighbors, led police to Santiago's home in the 300 block of McKnight Street.
"The person who answered the door told us, the officers, that Jacob Santiago was, in fact, not in the house," said Solecki.
But minutes later, detectives said that very same person admitted that Santiago was in the home.
Officials said a K-9 was released and found Santiago on the third floor.
"The dog had detained him, and in the process I believe he received a bite wound, which he was treated for at the hospital," said Solecki.
Meanwhile, many who visited Entertainment Square said they are relieved police have made an arrest.
"I'm happy that they did, because I like to feel safe knowing that this person is arrested makes me feel better about coming around here," said Brianna Gustitus from Shillington.
"That's great police work, and it's a good thing, that's what downtown needs. This is a great place and it used to be tremendous in the 60s. It's got to be that way again," said Craig MacGregor from Reading.
Santiago is facing a list of charges including first degree murder and robbery charges.
This case is still under investigation, and police said more arrest are pending.

MARC commuter train dominates rail plan discussion
Because of the hour of the meeting, no commuters were able to attend
January 30, 2013
MARTINSBURG — The MARC commuter train dominated the conversation during the West Virginia Rail Authority's state rail plan workshop Tuesday in Martinsburg, but because of the hour of the meeting, no......
They're getting your tax dollars because you get their tax dollars when you take your car out for a drive.
We subsidize all forms of travel in this country, including driving.

As a result of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (HR 8), Federal law allows employers three ways to reduce the cost of commuting via public transportation (bus, train, ferry or registered vanpool) or qualified parking for employees. Companies can offer employees:
a tax-free employer-paid subsidy a pre-tax employee-paid payroll deduction, or a combination of the above (shared employee- employer-paid. I am not a fed employee--my company uses the pre-tax payroll deduction so I am paying the $80 a month so-called "hillbilly tax" levied by MARC.

I kept waiting for the part of the article that discussed the WV Rail Plan. All i got out of it was that the WV Rail Plan is contingent on Maryland. Not really a good plan.

Federal Government workers receive $245 per employee per month for vanpool, bus, ferry, rail (all public ... bicycle commuting reimbursement" If you were a Fed than the $80/month would be 'taken care of'

One-way tickets are bought by people traveling to the DC area to visit family (look at the train on Mondays or Friday) or to connect to Amtrak trains at Union Station or planes at National or BWI. And some people went to carpooling when the $80 WV tax was added on to us. The new schedule eliminated the "express" train which has had some impact on ridership.
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Frederick is growing quickly thanks to the exodus of folks from Montgomery County. MC commuters have been big time users of the MARC and Metro for years. No suprise that they are seeing an increase in ridership there.
WV is still sitting pat at ~500 riders per day. Unless more folks move up this way that is not likely to increase.
1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Hovatter has not considered that a reason for the modest decline in WV ridership is due to riders driving to Brunswick to avoid the $80 monthly surcharge. Even so, there are far more riders than there were in 1990 when I started riding.

Nobody appreciates righteousness like John Robb. After seeing Green Day live at Manchester's Old Trafford stadium, he explains why they're still so thrilling - and the ultimate small town band
In a blur of powerful anthemic songs, a stunning LED backdrop, hardcore rushes, massive ballads, serious commentary and daft stunts, Green Day arrive at the sold out 30,000 plus capacity Old Trafford cricket ground on a balmy Mancunian evening. It's a show of strength that seems to be beyond the mainstream media sense of belief.
Their stunning show, almost two hours long, is 21st century rock &

Last direct Hoard relative to work for the company passes away
Last direct Hoard relative to work for the company passes away
For over 40 years, Mark "Bud" Kerschensteiner diligently worked for the company that his great grandfather, Governor William Dempster Hoard, founded in 1870. With his passing, an era comes to a close, as Kerschensteiner was the last direct relative to work for Hoard's Dairyman and the W.D. Hoard and Sons Company. Shown in the photo are: Mark "Bud" Kerschensteiner (right) with Verna and Jim Baird (retired Hoard's Dairyman art director) at the 2006 open house following National Dairy Shrine's latest renovation.
Kerschensteiner's career with W.D. Hoard and Sons Company began on December 1, 1945, after two years of service in the U.S. Marine Corps where he was deployed to the Pacific Theatre during World War II and was stationed in Guam and Okinawa. His employment with the company began with his service as advertising manager for the Jefferson County Union. In June 1953, Kerschensteiner became an advertising representative for Hoard's Dairyman and a decade later he was promoted to advertising manager. It was a position he held until his retirement in 1986 when Gary Vorpahl succeeded him in that role. At the time of Kerschensteiner's retirement, he also was senior vice-president and director of the American Agriculturalist, Inc., a Hoard company affiliate in Ithaca, N.Y. During his career, he led the application effort to have the historic Hoard's Dairyman Farm placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of Interior.
Born in 1921, Kerschensteiner was the only child of Mark and Shirley Hoard Kerschensteiner and one of two grandchildren of Frank and Luella Hoard, whose former home now houses the Hoard Historical Museum which is also home to National Dairy Shrine. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Journalism. Kerschensteiner served as the Fort Atkinson chairman of the UW-Madison Capital Gifts Campaign and was a member of the Bascom Hill Society. Kerschensteiner was a die-hard Badger fan and a generous donor to many University of Wisconsin initiatives.
In his local community, Kerschensteiner was the prime mover in the formation of the Fort Atkinson Community Foundation, Inc., founded in 1973. The foundation which began with Kerschensteiner's vision and a $25,000 gift from the late Mary C. Hoard, has grown to current assets of $18.6 million. Kerschensteiner led the group as the first board president for eight years. At the time of its inception, the Fort Atkinson Community Foundation was only the fourth one of its kind in the state with Milwaukee, Racine, and Oshkosh, all considerably larger than Fort Atkinson, having already established foundations.

Nice return! And a +1 for you!
6. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
sorry to say this but you're time is coming wendy......im not sure if you are innocent anymore or are just flat out "special" with you're comments...either way you seem to be HIGHLY annoying and really indecisive at times...
8. wendygarett (unregistered)
Hey I'm just sarcastic tho...
LG is a very nice device, it just that this adv is a bit irritating for me :(
well if thats hurt, I'm again sincerely apologize once again, I take my words back, sorry LG...
Peace knight...
11. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
First off dont apologize to me wendy, apologize to the people that have to read your comments...
Second I really dont know how this add annoys you as if you are an apple fan everytime all the time because if i do recall there are alot of post with you being android friendly at one point then "anti" android the next.......you seriously need to find where you stand and STAY THERE.....stop changing when things dont go you're way or against what you like, AT THE MOMENT......you are shaping up to be one to be one of the most indecisive persons ive ever met......and thats really not cool
15. wendygarett (unregistered)
I rather be uncool to speak the truth... When Apple done somethings not good, I'm also bash it as well... You should know by now that ios 6 is a major major disappointment for us, I used it for almost 3 month and the only things I see the improvement is the siri and facebook integration... Apple maps is completely a joke... It doesn't even show the colour of the maps on my country when the satellite mode is on...
"you seriously need to find where you stand and STAY THERE....." I'm purposely make my avatars right to give you a clear picture of who I am... But that doesn't mean you can stop me to praise Google... Because I'm also OWN an android devices remember?
you can't see me well is probably you stand one side too seriously... I will never stand one side and I will try my best to stay neutral...
16. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
sorry i began reading your post but had to stop at "apple maps is completely a joke" .....why? because my memory reminded me when you were saying you love apple maps and you are getting used to it more than google maps........you remember that one?
19. wendygarett (unregistered)
I try my best to get used of it, but when Google release the maps apps on ios, I just can't stand to download it, and seriously, do I say Apple maps is better, just because I love it doesnt mean it is better, I'm not a god dude lol
21. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
wendy just do us ALL a favor and make your self CLEAR..........i will continue to try my best to ignore your comments until you just make your self clear to everyone here.....its really not that hard pick a side and stay with it through the good articles and through the bad.....
And when you say you "love" apple maps IT GIVES PEOPLE THE IMPRESSION, that you think its BETTER! that is what i mean about making yourself clear.......and yea its not about getting a thumbs up and thumbs down but come one you cant sit here and tell me you dont like being misunderstood all the time or even "not" care that people dont get your choices! and if you do, well i dont know what to say, but i guess you like being misunderstood but just know it wont help people in getting along with you....
24. wendygarett (unregistered)
What do you mean all? Some neutral people here are actually enjoy my comments and understand my sarcasm, why dont you? When I say I love Apple maps, you accused me that Apple maps is better than Google? What if I say I love Google maps? And you accused me a double minded? Did you understand the word neutral?
neutral means I'm enjoy to be evil and a good guy in the same time... And be honest, why you want me to stand and stay one side, I'm tired of these fanboys culture in pa that force commenters to stand one side, and I'm going to break that rules no matter what cost it... I'm sorry mate...
25. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
like is said wendy ill just leave you be because your like the most confusing person to me and yea maybe i have the problem here MAYBE.........but all i know is ima need help with ignoring your comments from here on out.....cuz the type of person i am does not get along with confusion and obnoxiousness......so just do what you been doing and take whatever comes upon you from here on out
have a good one
30. wendygarett (unregistered)

I'm happy to conversate with you actually, but still, I respect that... It's my loss lol
27. flower99 (banned) (Posts: 54; Member since: 18 Nov 2012)
i understand your sarcasm, because im an ifan too. Im truly appreciate your unloyalness, you are evil, because you love to make fun of apple user by sayin "just take my money", in the mean time you taunt the android user lol. You evil, but UNBIASED attitude... And yet you are not even loyal to your gender, you are dude right? Lol
20. Tre-Nitty (Posts: 468; Member since: 16 Nov 2010)
Why do you care how often she changes her mind? Just because she's not loyal to a brand like you who would die for android. Honestly your about as misguided as someone could possibly be. What an idiot, loyal to a multi billion dollar corporation that doesn't even care that you exist. Then you stated your keeping it real, lmfao. I've heard it all. How do you keep it real on phonearena.com? Wow!
22. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
i care because a double minded person is the worst thing anyone can be!..........and like i said i will try my best to just ignore her from now on....call me whatever you like but i tried to reach out to her
10. wendygarett (unregistered)
Well we used to be friend but turn out to be enemy... I guess things might change if I keep on hiding my fanboyism :(

What: Main Street Redevelopment Announcement
When: Thursday, September 6, 2012 – 10:00 a.m.
Where: Corner of Main Street & Capital Avenue
Almost a million dollars will be infused into Main Street to revitalize approximately 250,000 square feet of vacant property. The announcement of this capital from the Pulaski County Brownfield Revolving Loan Fund will be announced Thursday, September 6th at 10:00 a.m. at the corner of Main and Capital.
The Brownfield Program is an intergovernmental collaboration between Pulaski County and the cities of Little Rock and North Little Rock. The agreement was formed in 2000 to redevelop contaminated properties in the downtowns on both sides of the Arkansas River. The Brownfield Revolving Loan Fund is funded with a $3 million Environmental Protection Agency grant for cleaning up environmentally impacted sites. The EPA Region 6 administrator for this program, Amber Perry, will be on hand to discuss the importance of this project
The project that will be discussed tomorrow consists of four buildings which comprise the west side of the 500 block of Main Street in downtown Little Rock. The twelve story building at the corner of Capitol Avenue and Main Street was built in 1909 and was originally named the State Bank Building. Immediately south of the State Bank Building is the MM Cohn Building that was built in 1941. The Arkansas Building at the corner of 6th and Main Streets was built in 1899 as the headquarters of the Pfeifer Brothers Department Store. The Arkansas Annex, also known as the Kahn building, is adjacent to the Arkansas building and was built in 1954. The buildings each has historic significance to Main Street and downtown Little Rock.
These four properties have been vacant for many years and suffer from environmental contamination which is a major barrier to putting these historic properties back in to productive use. The very first step that must be taken is the top to bottom environmental remediation of all four of the buildings so that they are once again safe for occupancy.
Once the environmental remediation is complete, work will begin to preserve, repair and restore the historic elements of these great properties. With the assistance of the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program and the National Parks Service, the historic elements of the properties will be carefully inventoried and plans for their protection and preservation will be put into place.
The next phase of the work program will involve improvements to convert the buildings from their original uses as office buildings and department stores to a mixed use concept consisting of residential lofts on upper floors with retail spaces on the ground floors. In keeping with the vision of Mayor Mark Stodola for an Arts District and the location across the street from the Arkansas Repertory Theatre, the project will have an emphasis on retail tenants, both for-profit and non-profit, who contribute to the fine arts, visual arts, and performing arts. With the continued assistance of the Downtown Little Rock Partnership and the entire Little Rock community, Main Street Lofts, LLC expects to begin rental of the loft apartments as early as next year.

Eagles fans, here's your opportunity to plant a tree in the Eagles Forest! Located at Neshaminy State Park in Bensalem, PA, and planted to help offset the Eagles greenhouse gas emissions, the Eagles Forest is a 6.5 acre site that serves as access to the Delaware riverfront and walking trails in the park. Your tree will be planted in the forest and will help trap about a ton of harmful carbon gasses in its lifetime. All those purchasing a tree will receive a card acknowledging the purchase. If you'd like to plant your tree in honor of a loved one, please enter their name in the personalization box below and a card will be written to commemorate the gift. Thank you and Go Green!
