Puerto Rico for Pennies: Water Club Beach Hotel, San Juan
When new rules were established requiring U.S. citizens to carry passports for all Caribbean destinations (then relaxed again, after the worst passport waiting lines in history), savvy travelers avoided all the passport mayhem and booked vacas in Puerto Rico. The U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico were the only two paradisiacal Caribbean destinations not affected. Old San Juan has been luring and exciting visitors with a renaissance of sorts; one of the oldest cities in the Americas has gotten a dose of South Beach glamour. Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Dior have opened stores along the waterfront in the Condado neighborhood. With the opening of myriad trendy restaurants and clubs, there's a cool vibe in the air. Liquid, on the top floor of the Water Club hotel, is one of the hottest spots in town. Indeed, the Water Club, named one of the coolest hotels in the world by Conde Nast Traveler, embodies South Beach chic. San Juan's only luxury boutique on the beach, the hotel boasts floor to ceiling windows with endless ocean views. Theatrical lighting brings the outdoors indoors; elevators have waterfalls (behind glass); corridor sounds are gentle surf. Doors are made of murano glass, and there are photographs of pebbles instead of corridor carpeting. For such a fabulous hotel, the rates are surprisingly modest. With the "Turn the Page" package at the Water Club, guests are spoiled with library benefits, book selection, free iPod using during their stay, and late check-out-- all for $149 per night. Valid through September 30, 2007.

Buzzworthy: Art Workshops with Michelle Torrez at Caneel Bay, St. John, Virgin Islands
Escape to the Caribbean this October for some sun and artistic inspiration, where art workshops with renowned artist Michelle Torrez will be held at Caneel Bay, A Rosewood Resort.

Boar's Head Inn, Charlottesville: Virginia Hospitality in the Heart of the Blue Ridge Foothills
July 31, 2007
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
Most visitors to the Boar's Head Inn (myself included), find themselves drawn to the Old Mill Room, quickly enchanted with the impressive wood beams lining the ceiling, the large fireplace and cozy ambience of the fine dining restaurant. The Inn has a long and impressive history, and the Old Mill Room is the heart of it all.
The Boar's Head Inn was built from the timbers of an abandoned gristmill, formerly located along the banks of the Hardware River. Dating back to 1834, the mill had survived burning despite the orders of Generals Grant and Custer during their Civil War march. The old mill, a treasured Virginian artifact, was carefully dismantled and reconstructed on the Inn's site. The original fieldstones, pine beams and planks, and massive grist stones are displayed throughout the Inn, prominent reminders of the past.
For 19 years running, the Old Mill Room has earned the AAA Four-Diamond Award for culinary excellence. The menu spotlights heirloom vegetables, wild game, Chesapeake Bay fish and seafood, and wines from the region's finest vineyards and wineries, as well as from around the world.
From the property's early days as the site of Terrell's Ordinary in the 1730's to its development in the 1960's as a quintessential Virginia inn, Boar's Head Inn has enjoyed a reputation as a welcoming place to stop (anything but ordinary!) Indeed, the Boar's Head Tradition has endured since Shakespeare's day, when London's Boar's Head Inn was synonymous with good food and warm hospitality, a tradition maintained in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains.
Nestled in the gently rolling hills of a 573-acre estate just outside Charlottesville, Boar's Head Inn combines the grace and hospitality of a country inn, with the luxurious amenities of a full-service resort. There's championship golf, top-rated tennis, a luxury spa, sports club, swimming pools, and four restaurants. The meeting facilities-- newly revamped-- are unrivaled in the region. When I recently attended a conference sponsored by Whole Foods Market (regional summits encourage local growers to get their products on the stores' shelves), I was impressed by both the venue (beautiful ballroom) and the delicious lunch.

General manager Brian Cashman said "there's a chance" Chien-Ming Wang could pitch this season.
After six weeks in a boot, Wang would need at least four weeks to get his arm in shape. Wang's Lisfranc injury is not as severe as the one Brian Bruney suffered in late April; Wang has a sprain while Bruney had a fracture.
As for making a trade, Cashman said, "My history is always to turn from within first and see what we've got. I will have to keep my ears open on what's available from outside."
Dan Giese is likely to get the first shot at replacing Wang. Giese, who had been called up to be the long man while Joba Chamberlain was on a pitch count, had been the best starter at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Prospects who could emerge include Alan Horne and Dan McCutchen.
Ian Kennedy, on the disabled list, threw 25 pitches off a mound last Friday and thus is at least a couple of weeks away from returning.

KICKING the can down the road - delaying action on the hard problem - is one time-honored political strategy. Why do something today when you can wait until you are safely re-elected, or even longer?
The bankruptcy of Detroit is proof of the flaw in that strategy.
And the lesson we can learn from Detroit, says Jennifer Bradley, of the Brookings Institution, is that "any place that thinks it can kick the can down the road will find the road can drop off abruptly."

Greg and Jena Stafford thought they were prepared.
The thirtysomething professionals had postponed starting a family until they'd saved enough money to be responsible parents. Their baby budget detailed everything from diapers to a college fund.
They thought they were set.
Then a sonogram detected three heartbeats.
Giving birth to triplets threw a kink into their financial plans, Greg Stafford said.
"We had counted on Jena going back to work after a few years," he said. "But that may not be possible."
And their carefully organized budget? "Now every expense is times three."
Not every couple is hit with multiple births, of course, but most expectant parents are financially unprepared, according to a 2005 survey by Visa and Redbook magazine.
Results show that while 76 percent of expectant parents thought they were ready for a baby, 41 percent of new parents realized they weren't.
Most expectant and new parents agreed that family finances are a challenge, yet less than half had created a budget for the new arrival.
"Money definitely is a huge issue for new parents of all ages," said Shannon Burney, coordinator for childbirth education at Baptist St. Anthony's Health System. "They all have to buy diapers. And most have no clue that diapers cost $18 a box or a can of formula is $24."
The Department of Agriculture estimates that the average, middle-income family will spend $184,000 raising a child until the age of 17. Families with a joint income of more than $70,000 a year spend closer to $279,000.
Mike and Amanda Berry, a couple in their early 20s, are just realizing what that means.
They're expecting their first baby in September. So far, they haven't actually sat down to work out a budget. He is a manager at an Amarillo restaurant; she's a hostess at another.
"When we decided to start a family, we had extra income," she said. "I was working two jobs, and we had a roommate."
Before marriage, both had accumulated credit-card debt and student loans. "We've tried to pay a little more each month so we wouldn't have to worry about it later."
Fortunately, she said, friends and family have been generous with hand-me-downs and baby gifts.
"We know it's going to be difficult," she said. "We've started cutting back on a lot of expenses, like our cable bill."
The Redbook survey found that the cost of delivery was one area most expectant parents didn't budget enough money to cover.
One in four parents ended up spending more than $2,000 on out-of-pocket costs for services associated with a normal delivery. On average, soon-to-be parents only plan on $776 to cover extra delivery expenses.
Cheryl Riemer and her husband didn't have health insurance - only an Aflac policy. Her husband is a chiropractor; she's a homebuilder.
When she became pregnant, they talked to both Amarillo hospitals to negotiate a fair price. "We found that putting a deposit down up front saved us money."
And while the Riemers didn't sit down and write out a budget, they started buying diapers and other supplies months before their son, Evan, was born.
"Most people don't base the decision to have a baby by looking strictly at cost," Amarillo financial planner Elaine Hays said. She says she usually sees new parents when they're thinking about setting up a college fund.
"I tell them to start early with even $15 or $20 a month and to be consistent," she said. "An automatic draft is a great way to save because it's deducted every month and you don't miss it."
Eventually they'll need to sock away more each month. "But don't wait until you can deposit $200 a month. A lot of people don't feel they have enough so they don't start at all."
T.J. Baker is expecting her second child in mid-August.
"This is very different from my first pregnancy," the 34-year-old Amarillo woman said. She and her husband have been saving money and starting college funds for both children.
When her 12-year-old son, Dylan, was born, she was a single mom sharing a room. "I was lucky to have a bassinet," she said. "But back then, I didn't realize I was missing anything. We survived OK."
Before baby arrives
Check your health insurance policy and your spouse's to see which offers the best benefits in terms of pre-natal care. Also, look into which of the policies offers the best care in terms of infants and the checkups they'll need.
Test living on one salary. If you or your spouse is considering staying home with baby, try to live on a single salary throughout the pregnancy. Not only will this give you an indication of whether or not you can live on what you make, but it will give you nine months of banked income as a sizable emergency cushion.
Make a budget. Run the numbers to see how much you'll need to spend on everything, as diverse as diapers and utilities (if someone will be home with the baby all day, you'll run the air conditioning more hours). There's likely to be a cut in your entertainment dollars - but factor in at least one night a week of babysitting.
Write a will. Name a guardian for your new baby. It's also a good time to buy life insurance. How much you need depends on what sort of income stream you're replacing and whether you want the proceeds of the policy to pay off your mortgage or to pay for college. If you and your spouse are both in the workforce, you'll need life insurance on both of you. For most people, term insurance is the best way to buy insurance at an affordable price.

Theorizing the Evolution of European Migration Systems (THEMIS)
24-26 September 2013
Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford
Keynote speakers include: Thomas Faist (Bielefeld University); Douglas Massey (Princeton University); and Ewa Morawska (University of Essex)
Why do some migrants set off the movement of thousands of people, while others are followed only by a few, or remain virtually alone in the destination country? Some answers can be found in the variation in economic and social conditions in different places. Another vital part of the puzzle relates to the historical, social and cultural practices of migration: those who move now are following in the footsteps of those who left before. This conference examines how enduring patterns of migration emerge, are sustained and decline; the mechanisms by which the migration processes of yesterday influence those of today; and the role of the migrant as a social actor in the face of these historical and social processes.
This THEMIS conference will take an inter-disciplinary
approach to migration dynamics drawing on comparative
studies of international and internal migration processes. We
welcome contributions covering both origin and destination
countries/regions. There will be three main themes:
Emergence and development of migration systems:
What explains the emergence and establishment of
migration systems? With time, the initial moves of pioneer
migrants might result in relatively stable patterns of
migration which exhibit their own dynamics. Cumulative
causation, the emergence of a system, may not however
be concerned with passing a threshold in numbers;
low levels of migration between particular localities,
either in the international or internal domain, may also
be associated with system dynamics. We invite papers
exploring the evolution and the life of migration systems
– their beginnings, development, and sustenance, but also their potential weakening and decline.
Feedback processes in migration: Migration between
localities is influenced by a set of factors not limited
solely to conditions posed by these two contexts – that
of origin, and that of destination – but also including
previous histories as well as social and cultural conditions
of movement. It is important to examine a range of mechanisms by which these feedback processes operate.
This enquiry takes us beyond a narrow focus on networks
to include interactions such as those with the state,
employers, travel agencies, educational establishments
and new connections created by social media and ICT.
We invite papers concerned with these various forms of
feedback and its transmission, critically re-thinking the
role of migration networks and their composition, as well
as examining emerging forms of indirect feedback, and
their potential contribution to the evolution of systems
over time.
Migrants as social actors: How is the migration of an
individual intertwined with the migratory movements of
others? The role of agency of migrants is often missing
from an analysis of migration systems. Such agency, in
an interplay with other structural factors, helps to explain
why, once started, migration processes tend to gain their
own momentum. This theme challenges the determinism
which pervades much of the earlier work on systems
and incorporates a richer analysis of the agency of social
actors in migration processes. We invite papers exploring
the role of pioneer migrants, or how early migrants shape
subsequent migrations, as well as papers highlighting the
rich texture of various migration cultures.
Submission of abstracts
We invite contributions within the three conference themes. We also welcome papers covering overarching issues that straddle the themes, for example: the methodological challenges of multi-sited and mixed methods research, or the relationship between broader social theory and migration processes. Submissions should be clearly marked as falling
into one of the following five areas:
• Emergence and development of migration systems
• Feedback processes in migration
• Migrants as social actors
• Methodology
• Cross-cutting
Abstracts of up to 300 words maximum to be submitted by 15 January 2013
Notification of acceptance to be made by March 2013
Submission of full papers in English required by 1 August 2013
For more information, including instructions for submission of abstracts and details about registration please visit www.imi.ox.ac.uk/research-projects/themis/conference2013
Contributions from scholars in the global South are welcomed.

After three cooking lessons with 11-year-old girls at St. Martin De Porres in North Philadelphia, it was time to add some chemistry to the skills they were learning in the convent kitchen. Not the periodic table, mind you, but the magical alchemy of baking. And what is more exciting than baking pizza from scratch?
Because the dough is made with yeast that takes hours to rise, I brought some that already had risen, as well as ingredients so the girls could make some themselves.
"Are we actually making the dough?" asked the not-easily-impressed Jayla Reeves. "Wow!"
Pizza is one of the cheapest meals going, the crust made of flour, water, yeast, and a little sugar and oil. Once you learn how to make the crust, of course, there are dozens of variations for toppings.

Summary of Details
Name: OWEN, Robert G. Address: DOB: 11 August 1940 Age: 40 Marital Status: Married Date of Murder: Monday,29 December 1980 Cause of death: Single gunshot to the chest Employer: Corporal - City of Erie Police Department Location Found: Behind a warehouse at 1258 West 18 Street, Erie, PA Jurisdiction: Erie County District Attorney
Corporal Robert OWEN was a nine year police officer for the City of Erie when he was found dead at about 1:40 a.m. on Monday morning, 29 December 1980. Investigators believe that he was shot shortly before midnight Sunday night. His body was lying about 75 feet away from his patrol car – Car 113 – with a single bullet wound to the chest. The murder weapon was his own – a Colt Trooper Mark III .357 with a 6″ barrel, bearing serial number 235575L, although the weapon was not immediately found.
OWEN's patrol car, which was parked in a secluded industrial area known where Erie police officers often gathered, was idling. It's lights were off and the driver's door was open. In addition to being known as a police "nest" for patrol officers, the area was also known for drug addicts looking for a sniff or two from chemical solvents like toluene, often stored outside the warehouses. The police radio inside OWEN's vehicle happened to be turned to channel three, which was a car-to-car channel used by officers to privately talk to each other.
About 70-75 feet away from the patrol car was the lifeless body of Corporal Robert OWEN. The condition of OWEN's jacket and shirt indicated that he was likely involved in a struggle before he was shot. His keys, a set of handcuffs with one cuff partially open, were found near the start of a bloody trail north of the patrol car and several feet away from the body, suggesting perhaps that OWEN might have either attempted to reach his car or was partially dragged in that direction. Also present were cigarette butts from two different brands of cigarettes and a lighter.
According to investigators, a man walking his two dogs saw the unattended Erie patrol car and a flashlight, and notified Erie Police about 1:40 a.m. Monday morning. What that man, identified as David CAMBRA, reportedly did not initially mention is that he also found and pick up OWEN's gun, and kept it. When questioned on 9 January 1981. CAMBRA reportedly admitted to picking up the weapon, although later disposed of it about a mile from the scene near the railroad tracks west of Pittsburgh Avenue – ostensibly when he learned it was used to kill a police officer.
He ultimately led police detectives to the spot where he claims to have tossed the weapon, which laid exposed to harsh winter elements for over 11 days. The weapon was found to have traces of OWEN's blood in and on the barrel, indicating the gun was fired at close range.
David CAMBRA reportedly underwent polygraph examinations about his possible involvement in the murder of Robert OWEN. He allegedly passed those examinations.
The murder of Corporal OWEN has been the subject of much speculation over the years. Although ruled a homicide by then coroner Merle WOOD, some investigators believed OWEN shot himself. The death of Robert OWEN was officially ruled a homicide by Pennsylvania Attorney General LeRoy Zimmerman on 14 April 1983.
Controversy surrounded Robert OWEN in relation to the investigation of a high-value burglary that took place on or about 25 November 1980 at the home of Louis NARDO, 605 Hilltop Road, Erie, PA. According to criminal records, the burglary resulted in the loss of jewelry and other valuable items from the NARDO home estimated $550,000 in value.
OWEN and other police officers responded to the burglary and were at the premises when a diamond ring that was not taken in the burglary turned up missing. OWEN and eight other officers were questioned about the theft. OWEN and two other police officers were administered polygraph tests. According to initial reports, the test results of the two other officers were "inconclusive," while it was reported that OWEN's polygraph results were "off the charts." The other two officers were retested and reportedly passed, while OWEN never had the opportunity to take the test that was scheduled for later on the day he was found dead. The issue regarding the missing ring has since been "solved."
At that time, an active burglary ring associated with Erie crime figure Caesar MONTEVECCHIO and Samuel "Fat Sam" ESPER was active. ESPER would later be a cooperative witness with police, and agreed to wear a wire during a conversation with MONTEVECCHIO about the murder of Robert OWEN. The conversation reportedly fell flat, with ESPER saying to MONTEVECCHIO "I wonder who killed OWEN?" MONTEVECCHIO reportedly replied "you know who killed OWEN" and ended the conversation.
According to investigative reports, OWEN was on duty but at a card game at a close friend's house near the location where his body was found. He placed a telephone call to an unknown party at about 11:45 Sunday night, but investigators were unable to determine who OWEN called.
At about midnight on the night of his death, two truck drivers reportedly saw the silhouettes of three-(3) people, including one who appeared to be a police officer, standing near the warehouse where the body of OWEN was found. They also reported seeing the idling police cruiser nearby.
In March 1991, the investigative murder file of Robert OWEN was found in a file cabinet inside the City of Erie Solicitors office. According to reports at the time, City Solicitor Paul SUSKO found the file and was "stunned" by the contents, which included confidential police reports and reports from the Pennsylvania attorney general's office.

The TSA-100 uses the conventional pyrolysis method for converting all sulfur compounds in the sample to sulfur dioxide. The system uses a high-performance UV-Vis spectrophotometer to measure the resulting SO2 concentration, which correlates to total sulfur.
Note: for applications that require analysis of up to 5 known sulfur compounds, we recommend the OMA Process Analyzer as a more practical and affordable solution.Request a Quote
Sulfur compounds--particularly hydrogen sulfide--in natural gas carry with them a host of problems and considerations for both producer and consumer. Sulfur content is known to:
Avoiding these chronic sulfur-related issues requires reliable online monitoring of total sulfur load in gaseous hydrocarbon streams. The only way to verify the efficiency of sulfur removal processes and ensure satisfaction of customer and environmental needs is to proactively analyze stream composition.
The TSA-100 is a fully integrated monitoring solution driven by UV-Vis diode array detection. This solid state instrument is a much more practical than the consumable-laden designs that have historically dominated the market.
The TSA-100 uses an ultraviolet-visibile (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer to measure the resultant SO2 concentration. This method is known to be highly resistant to false positives; full-spectrum analysis quickly removes erroneous data using averaging algorithms.
The TSA-100 uses a long-life xenon light source to transmit a signal through the sample fluid in the flow cell. The signal is carried by fiber optic cables from the analyzer to the flow cell, where the chemical mixture of the sample has unique interactions with the light based on its current composition.
Our proprietary ECLIPSE software processes the raw spectral data to provide real-time concentration readings. The operator can easily navigate between views (trendgraph, spectrum, and more) using intuitive touch-screen navigation. You can also configure alarms, data logging, and outputs. Learn more
The TSA-100 sample conditioning system is designed primarily for controlled combustion of the sample.
Upon entering the TSA-100, the sample is split via tee into a bypass loop and a sample loop. In the sample loop, two mass flow controllers are used to accurately mix the sample with air, ensuring an optimal air/fuel ratio for combustion.
The sample/air mixture flows through a pyrolysis furnace, where all present sulfur compounds are converted to sulfur dioxide:
The fully oxidized sample then enters the measurement flow cell where SO2 absorbance is monitored (via fiber optic cables). Finally, the sample exits the system as waste.
Note: All performance specifications are subject to the assumption that the sample conditioning system and unit installation are approved by Applied Analytics. For any other arrangement, please inquire directly with Sales.

Fire investigators believe lightning may have sparked a fire that destroyed a historic barn in Grand Traverse County.
The Grand Traverse Metro Fire Department responded to a the fire at 4675 N. Long Lake Road in Garfield Township at 3:30am Monday.
When crews arrived they found the 100 x 60 foot historic wood barn fully involved. Firefighters from three Metro stations fought the blaze and hit hot spots for nearly three hours under extreme weather conditions.
Metro fire investigators are on scene to determine a cause and origin. It is likely that the barn was hit by lightning.

Database driven Calendar
1 Attachment(s)
First of all I am very new to C# and its concepts. What I wanted is to build a database driven standalone winforms based application (Calendar) that can help me keep track of appointments and so forth, so I came across an example on the internet but the problem is it stores the appointment title, startdate, enddate, colors in a hash table list rather than a sql server DB. My question is how can I store the data a DB (insert/update/delete)? So far I have made a couple of adjustments to it, but adding two buttons, a delete appointment button that just deletes the appointment from the list and a save appointment button that saves the startdate and enddate in a DB. I would like everything (inserts/edits/delete) to go to a sql db rather than the list.
I have attached all the source files with this post so if someone can please go through it and help me, it would be appreciated.
Re: Database driven Calendar
Instead of attaching try posting code that you see as problematic.
Re: Database driven Calendar
Well that's my problem, since I didn't write the code and I am a beginner at C#, I don't know where to make the changes necessary. That's what I need help with and thus I have attached the source files. If that makes sense. :o

7 beautiful puppies were born at Maranatha Farm last night. Their mother cannot care for them, so we are asking people who have experience bottle-feeding puppies to take a pair for us just until they are weaned.
Four tuxedo pups and three blue merles will be large dogs when grown.
Stephanie Ingersoll already called and said she would take three so that leaves two more foster homes needed. Maranatha Farm provides all supplies and a heartfelt blessing.

Functional Region
organized around a focal point, that include areas that are linked to them through communication patterns, transportation routes, or even television broadcasts. (Dallas Metroplex, Panhandle)
Perceptual Region
Perceptual regions reflect human feelings and attitudes about areas. They are based more on opinions than facts. (The Bible Belt, Dixie)
Planned growth
values long-range, regional considerations of sustainability over a short-term focus. Its goals are to achieve a unique sense of community and place; expand the range of transportation, employment, and housing choices; equitably distribute the costs and benefits of development; preserve and enhance natural and cultural resources; and promote public health.
Shanty towns
a town or section of a town or city inhabited by very poor people living in shacks or poorly built temporary homes
basic facilities and services such as transportation and communications systems, water and power lines, and public institutions including schools, post offices, and prisons.
GPS (Global Positioning System)
a navigational system involving satellites and computers that can determine the latitude and longitude of a receiver on Earth by computing the time difference for signals from different satellites to reach the receiver
GIS (Geographic Information Systems)
system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of geographically referenced data. In the simplest terms, GIS is the merging of cartography, statistical analysis, and database technology.

A dictatorship is a government headed by a dictator. It is considered to be the opposite of a democracy. It refers to the way the leaders gain and hold power, not the watch kept on the citizens. The type of government that does not allow a nation to determine its own leaders by election.
A monarchy, (from Greek meaning "one ruler") is a form of government that has a King or Queen as Head of State. The distinguishing characteristic of monarchies is that the Head of State holds his office for life, unlike in republics, where presidents are generally elected for a certain amount of time.
form of government under which the power to change the laws and structures of government lies with the citizens through elections.
Theocracy is a form of government in which a religion and the government work together. "Theo" which means "god" and "cracy" which means "form of government". Hence theocracy literally means "Rule by god". Its governmental policies are strongly influenced by the principles of a religion and the government claims to rule on behalf of God or a higher power.
In parliamentary governments the head of state and the chief executive are two separate offices. Many times the head of state functions in a primarily ceremonial role (Queen of England), while the chief executive is the head of the nation's legislature (Prime Minister of England). In parliament systems, the Prime Minister is not chosen by the people but by the legislature and the Monarchy is passed down from family.
a political system where the state recognizes no limits to its authority and strives to regulate every aspect of public and private life wherever it can.
a group of people, within a society, whose members have different ethnic, racial, national, religious, sexual, political, linguistic, or other characteristics from the rest of society.

Centenary College student travels to Taiwan to present research A student from Centenary College traveled half way across the globe to compete in an international science fair earlier this week. Kendall Hughes Freshman Kendall Hughes of Shreveport traveled to the Republic of China Thursday, Jan. 28 to compete in the 2010 Taiwan International Science Fair where she will not only present her research on skin cancer, but also speak on the science curriculum in high schools in the United States. "This is a huge opportunity for me to meet other students from other countries around the world who are doing the same type of research," said Hughes. "It is exciting but also intimidating at the same time." Her journey to Taiwan began when she was attending Caddo Magnet High School, where she captured first place in the 2009 regional science fair. She was able to bypass the state science fair and went directly to the International Science and Engineering Fair hosted by Intel® in Reno, Nevada, May 10, 2009. The then 18-year old high school senior again took the top prize in the Biochemistry Division for her research on Mechanisms of Tumor Cell Invasion: The Role of Stat3 in Squamous Cell Carcinoma, earning $1,000 and, according to Hughes, "a trip of a lifetime to the Science Fair in Taiwan." "I am very excited to be traveling to Taiwan for this opportunity to present the research that I had been working on for two years, said Hughes. Not only that, but I am one of only two students from the U.S. attending, so it is really a tremendous honor." The Taiwan International Science Fair runs from January 31 through February 7 and brings together students and teachers in Taiwan and from around the world for seven days to compete and experience cultural exchanges. Teams include two students and two teachers, and travel from countries such a Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Mexico, South Africa, Japan and the United States to attend the annual fair. During their stay in Taiwan, students live with a Taiwanese family for the week and take part in cultural activities, presentations to judges and a public exhibition of their work.

Featured Golf News
The Journey at Pechanga Readies for 2008 Debut
Course construction is complete and a 2008 grand opening scheduled for The Journey at Pechanga, the latest design from architect Steve Forrest.
Photograph Courtesy of Aidan Bradley
Forrest, a principal with Toledo, Ohio-based Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest and Associates and the president of the American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA), designed this southern California track fresh off a pair of award-winning projects in Sweden. The Journey at Pechanga - the centerpiece of the Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, Calif. - marks a departure in style and setting from the Swedish courses, but not drama.
"I've never worked a site quite like this one. The Journey sets out at the base of a large mountain, crosses the Pechanga River, a dry wash where I have not yet seen any water, then basically sets off into the sky," says Forrest, who estimates the layout rises and falls some 300 feet in the course of 18 holes. "With that much elevation change, you're going to be in a cart anyway, quite frankly. So we made the decision early on in the design process to take full advantage of the terrain - we created some spectacular holes we could never have accessed or achieved on a 'walking' course."
Photograph Courtesy of Aidan Bradley
To illustrate his point, Forrest cites the par-3 17th, called "Island in the Sky," with its green perched at the terminus of a high-desert ridge and its tee boxes benched into a hillside across a steep-sided canyon. He's also a fan of the 18th, a par-4 of modern construction that finishes at a classic Biarritz putting surface; and the inimitable 420-yard 6th, which drops some 300 feet tee to green. "The hang time there is stupendous, between 8 and 10 seconds," the architect says. "If you hit just right, you can almost drive the green thanks to the speed slot we created on one side of the landing zone."
Forrest and his colleagues at Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest and Associates excel at this sort of intriguing design. It's what distinguishes the firm's recent work: the new Forrest designs in Sweden - Sand Golf Club, just more than year old but already ranked by Golf Digest as among the world's Top 100 courses outside the United States (No. 82); Hills Golf Club, named by Travel+Leisure Golf magazine among the top 10 courses to open worldwide in 2005; and Wolfdancer Golf Club at the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort in Austin, Texas, designed by Hills/Forrest partner Chris Wilczynski and named to Golf Magazine's 2006 list of "Top 10 New Courses You Can Play."
Forrest sees the same potential in The Journey at Pechanga, whose challenging yet sensitive construction has progressed alongside that of the ever-expanding resort complex (http://www.pechanga.com/home.asp). "It's a very impressive place that has probably tripled in size during my two years on site," Forrest says. "It's really become a destination, with the casinos, a comedy club, so many restaurants and the hotel towers. Everything has been done first class, from their telecommunications capabilities, to the traffic flow, to the accommodations, to the golf.
"However, because it all took shape on Native American land, everything was done with extreme environmental and cultural sensitivity. Pechanga culture believes that spirits reside in oak trees and elderberry bushes, so they must be respected and protected. We moved 150 oak trees, as opposed to cutting them down. Some were simply untouchable, as were several burial grounds, of course, and so holes were carefully routed to accommodate them."
Forrest brought this emphasis on environmental responsibility to his term as president of the ASGCA, which began in April 2007 and will run for a year. Indeed, the Forrest administration will issue the ASGCA's third edition of "Environmental Approach to Golf Development" handbook in October (visit www.asgca.org for details).
Forrest delights in The Journey's on-course cultural exhibits such as wooden teepees and cedar houses that tell the story of the Pechanga people. He loves how the exhibits contrast with the layout's contemporary design touches: the man-made water features on the 5th and 13th holes and the impressive bridges that span the property's many canyons and dry washes. "The bridges are features on the golf landscape that normally an architect attempts to hide," he says, "but these are very unique and attractive structures."

Light winds on Saturday allowed crews to clean up some of the trash that was blown out of the Menomonee Falls landfill on Friday.
Click here to watch the report
About 15 people with Waste Management were out collecting garbage. Thousands of waste items were stuck in trees and fences along County Line Road and 124th Street just outside of the landfill.
Crews will continue cleanup until the entire mess is back in the landfill, officials said.
