NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- The question of what to do with the Flagler Avenue Boardwalk became somewhat clearer Wednesday when the Community Redevelopment Agency members approved what they think is the best way to fix and preserve the structure.
Photo and story submitted by contributing writer Dale Smith / City Finance Director Althea Philord informs city commissioners on half-million-plus deficit and a three-year run of revenue shortfalls with the tax rate unchanged unless further cuts in spending are made.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH – City commissioners are staring at a $541,000 deficit for Fiscal Year 2011-2012 and are reviewing budget projections to whittle away at that figure.

Shawnee was too top heavy and deep for the Pioneers. The Renegades won seven races, including grabbing first and second in three events.
"They had a little bit more depth than us and their top four or five guys were pretty good," said Conrad Eisenhart, who won the 500 free. "It's hard to swim as a No. 7 seed against the No. 2 seed, but I feel we swam hard and fast and ended our season with a bang. We gave our best effort."

She knows she is only going to have a split second to react.
Everything slows down.
Downfield, a run is developing and before long, she knows it could be up to her to make a play.
A pass, a juke and it's one-on-one with an attacker.
West Ranch senior goalkeeper Tina Hedwall leaves her line and charges toward the attacker.
As the shot is loosed, Hedwall lunges and plucks the ball out of the air.
Immediately, the action speeds back up and she is on her feet, ball under arm, pointing and shouting directions to her defense.
It's life as usual for Hedwall, whose confidence, dependability and example have helped the Wildcats achieve a new level of respect this season and established a legacy of determination.
"There are many goalkeepers out there that will wear a captain's band, but you won't hear from them all season," says West Ranch head coach Cami Bangasser. "They are only a practice captain. Tina, her presence on the field at practice, in the game, on campus at school, she is someone the girls look to."
One of the few seniors for the Wildcats this season, Hedwall has taken her share of bumps and bruises over the years, but it has never deterred her from putting herself on the line at a moment's notice.
Her coach says Hedwall helped keep the team together during a winless league campaign last year.
"It's not easy to kill yourself day in and day out and have some of these results that we do," Bangasser says. "But she stays with us regardless. She is the one keeping the girls in check and she is definitely someone that can keep the girls going."
Hedwall uses the team's past struggles as fuel, and last week, she led the team to its first ever win over Hart on Monday. West Ranch was mere minutes away from beating Canyon on Tuesday, despite Hedwall having to play with a broken finger on her left hand.
She doesn't complain about the past, but she hasn't forgotten it either.
"It's definitely stayed in our memories," she says. "It definitely has for me."
Hedwall's fearless approach to goalkeeping has consistently kept the Wildcats in games when the offense has sputtered.
"Some of the goalkeepers in the valley have an older, more experienced squad in front of them that protects as they go," Bangasser says. "It's almost like our veteran player is protecting us in the back and helping us grow with her experience back there. Do I think she has been overlooked? Absolutely."
Over the years, Hedwall has developed an improved vision and knowledge of the game, reaction time, agility and confidence, Bangasser says.
She has also ensured that a young defense remains confident.
"I know that if I can't get to something, she will be there," says sophomore sweeper Kendall Moskal. "She has saved us a tremendous amount of times. She is amazing. I feel very comfortable and I think the team feels very comfortable. We know that she is going to do her best."
As the team's only goalkeeper, the pressure is always on.
And that's just the way she likes it.
"I think I definitely work best under pressure, but I'm definitely a procrastinator when it comes to turning in essays," Hedwall says with a laugh.
Hedwall is currently looking at playing collegiate soccer at Cal Lutheran, the University of Central Florida, Vanguard or The College of Saint Rose, where she says she wants to study film editing.
"I have a creative side that I don't really show to people," she says. "I try to hide it."
That creativity runs in her family.
Her grandfather, Ted Swanson, worked in the film industry and on such movies as Caddyshack, she says.
"I like to be in the background," Hedwall says.
However, her play and command in between the posts puts her front and center when it comes to setting an example.
Close friend and fellow team captain Danika Weber has seen that standard put in place.
"We are both the oldest on the team," Weber says. "Tina has led this team for two years. They all respect us. Being a senior, she carries this team herself. ... She has always had a pretty good picture of where she wants to go in life."
Hedwall's legacy is simple and one that she hopes will carry on through the young team that she has helped mentor.
But there is still work to do.
"I think it has kind of started, but it is definitely not over," Hedwall says. "We still haven't earned the respect, but we have definitely gotten the ball rolling here."
The next generation is ready to pick up where she leaves off.
"I do think we will miss Tina next year," Moskal says. "Tina is very strong, but Tina leaves a lot of confidence in us, and I feel that she has taught me a lot as a defender in what to do becaue I am so young. I feel that when she leaves, our defense will follow in her footsteps."

It was an evening that echoed the style and elegance of the famed Coconut Grove nightclub at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, which attracted celebrities and the social elite in the 1920s and '30s.
"I wanted to do something different and special to honor these two incredible people, state Assemblyman Cameron Smyth and Margo," said Shelley Hann, executive director of SCV Women and Men of Honor.
Guests to the gala dinner event were greeted by a red carpet entry with celebrity impersonators featuring Joan Rivers, Steven Spielberg, Elvis and Clark Gable.
Attendees received their own celebrity treatment with red carpet photos taken in front of the SCV Women and men of Honor backdrop.
The master of ceremonies Ed Masterson introduced Smyth, who is retiring after being termed-out of office.
"I appreciate everyone being here for the Cameron Smyth Retirement Tour 2012," Smyth said, as the audience laughed and applauded. "It's my hope there's another Capitol a few thousand miles away that you'll send me to in a few years as well."
Margo Hudson, known by many in the SCV simply as Margo, is known for clothing the most fashionable women in the SCV before she closed her store in 2010.
Hudson was introduced by friend, Tippi Hedren, the actress who starred in Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds."
In honor of Hudson, she wore a vintage gown with feathered wrap she purchased from Hudson's store.
"Margo is the most amazing woman I know in the SCV," Hedren said. "She's beautiful, smart, extremely talented and creative, but the most wonderful part of Margo is that she is fun."
Hudson hugged Hedren as she received her trophy.
"What an amazing celebration," she said. "Thank you for sharing this special soiree with Cameron and I."
Shelley and G. Marshal Hann welcomed guests to the event that featured Dennis Poore on a cocktail piano, Art Deco and his Society Orchestra and comedian Jackie Flynn.
One of the highlights of the evening was the auction of the black standard poodle puppy donated by Poodles by Bloomingdale.
The puppy went for $1,700 after spirited bidding by Amy Schwartz.
She said she will name the puppy Margo in honor of Margo Hudson.
Proceeds from the event benefited the SCV Man and Woman of Honor Returning Veterans Scholarship at College of the Canyons and the Performing Arts Center at COC. The evening also featured a "fund-a-need" donation which this year benefited the Guardians of Hope at Child and Family Center.
"Each year a new nonprofit will benefit from the fund-a-need solicitation," Shelley Hann said.

Featured Golf News
Lo, the Practice Green
Lo the practice green: An area of closely mown grass containing six to nine holes and those cute miniature pins sticking out of them. Every course has at least one, as do a lot of driving ranges and practice facilities. If we could all get ourselves to spend more time there we would assuredly become much better golfers. And yet, most of us trudge off to the driving range to work on getting rid of our hooks, slices and dreaded shanks (oops, I didn't mean to write that word out loud).
Why is this? We know that we should be practicing our putting. It has been preached far and wide, from the halls of St. Andrews to the cliffs of Pebble Beach, that the fastest way to lower scores is to improve your putting. Jack Nicklaus used to say (and probably still does) that not everyone was blessed with his talent to hit the golf ball and will most likely never obtain such ability no matter how hard they worked. But anyone who played the game could become as good a putter as he was if they worked hard enough.
But how many of us have ever dreamt of hitting a 6-foot putt like Jack? Seriously, have you ever yearned for the sweet feeling of the ball coming off the center of the putter-face, watching in anticipation as it rolls majestically toward the cup, tumbling over the edge . . . okay, I'll stop now. Let's face it, we dream of the big drive soaring straight down the middle. Not the short putt rolling straight into the hole.
Aside from all that, putting practice is boring. Just take a look at the practice green the next time you go out to a golf course. I bet you see a grand total of two people: the club champion and the guy with the yips (sorry, I didn't mean to write that either). Compare that to the amount of people on the driving range and it's obvious where our priorities lie.
And there is always the issue of practice green etiquette. The oft-broken, yet seldom talked about unwritten rules of the short game sanctuary which are routinely broken by unknowing duffers who add misery to our already boring workout with the flatstick.
So what are these rules and how do we identify the chief offenders? Well, I'm glad you asked. My apologies to anyone offended by the following. Just please keep in mind that there is an entire population of golfers who'd like to improve their rock-rolling ability in peace.
The most common offender is the "Can't Decide Which Hole He Wants to Putt At" golfer. This guy always seems to be camped out on the green when you arrive, and for whatever reason, any hole you choose to putt toward his little white Spalding seems to get mixed up with your balls. At first, you just give him a look and a polite nod. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, you think that maybe he didn't recognize you were aiming at that hole. After the second violation you're not as polite. You hope your best grunt-and-glare combination will throw him for a loop and send him to a hole on the far side of the green. This only makes him a bolder and ruder hole-intruder. The next time both of your balls are clustered together beside the same hole he actually has the gall to swipe your balls out of the way as he searches for the one with the Spalding logo. You feel violated. And with the thought that this guy is lucky you're not prone to violence as you sigh heavily while retreating to the other, less-populated side of the green.
Just as annoying is the "Bad Chipper." At first you feel bad for this guy. Put him on the deck of a boat and tell him to chip it into the water and he'd be lucky to get one out of three into the ocean. Like an observer to a bad car accident, you can't seem to pull your eyes away from the carnage. You begin to get a little annoyed when the divots start flying onto the green. Your frustration grows as a couple of his misguided attempts come rolling your way, and you no longer feel sorry for him. In fact, you're thinking he's so bad he should not be allowed to practice when others are within 100 yards, and the thought crosses your mind that in the name of safety you should seek higher ground. But you stand firm, you were here first and are proud that your presence isn't endangering others. Just then, he knifes a Pinnacle into your ankle. You make a mental note never to let your pride get in the way of sanity again as you limp toward the pro shop to request they put a "No Chipping" sign beside the putting green.
Last, but certainly not least, is "Mr. Gadget." This guy watches way too much of the Golf Channel. A litany of strings, tees, alignment aids, and balls with different-colored stripes painted on them are arranged all around his section of the practice green. And believe me, he feels as though this is his section. Wander too close and you'll feel his wrath, which he cleverly disguises as quotes from Dave Pelz's "Putting Bible." The best way to get rid of this pest is to challenge him to a putting contest. Like Solomon without his locks, he crumbles without his trusty putting aids. He knows this, of course, and will most likely decline your offer and slink off with his gadgets in tow.
Managing to avoid these people on the practice green is half the battle. The other half is easy. Simplify your practice sessions. In fact, don't even think of it as practice. The putting stroke is easy, a simple back-and-through motion, much like walking. You don't practice your walking, but you walk to stay in shape. So don't think of it as practicing your putting, think of it as putting to stay in shape. Fifteen minutes a day from 10 feet on in is all it takes and you'll watch your putting improve and your scores drop.
At the very least, annoying golf pros won't feel the need to write nitpicky articles about your practice habits.

It all started in January of this year with Heather Peters rejecting Honda's class-action settlement to give Civic owners disgruntled over poor fuel economy $100-200 and a rebate on the purchase of a new Honda. Little did either of them know it would go as far as it has. In the latest chapter, hearings began this week with Honda appealing a small-claims court award of almost $10,000 to Peters.
But Peters then took the action of taking her case to small claims court. In February, she was awarded $9867. Peters has since encouraged other owners to take the small-claims route, and 1700 owners have opted out of the class-action settlement to pursue that strategy.
Facing a potential avalanche of small-claims suits with awards up to the $10,000 maximum allowed in small claims courts, Honda has filed an appeal to Peters' award.
During the course of a hearing this week, Peters' past vehicles were brought up as potential evidence that the shortfall in fuel economy might be due more to the driver's habits than a problem with the vehicle itself. Peters' last three vehicles have been two BMW Z3 roadsters, an X5, and a Mazda RX-8, none of which are particularly known for their frugality. She also had the audacity in the course of questioning to call her Civic Hybrid "the least attractive, least sporty car I've ever purchased," in front of Judge Dudley Gray and Honda's attorneys.
The hearing is scheduled to re-convene this coming Thursday, and will likely be watched closely by other automakers that have come under criticism and scrutiny from advocacy groups for their vehicles not meeting economy claims.
Per small-claims rules, the ruling for this case will be final, and further appeals will not be possible.

Patton Valley Estate Pinot noir 2013
$36.95 Regular
Aromas include earth, tobacco, and spice mixed with red fruit. Flavors of dark plum and black pepper with sweet fruit and soft tannins are followed by a silky finish. This wine is good now but will continue to evolve for another 4-6 years.
2009 Vintage Tasting Notes
The 2009 Patton Valley is full bodied and ready to drink. Scents are of red cherry and raspberry fruit with soft pie spice notes. Flavors of sweet blackberry and raspberry, big sweet pie spices include cinnamon, cardamon, clove, and allspice. The finish adds hints of green and white peppercorns along with big red fruit, lots of barrel spice, and vanilla.
2008 Vintage Tasting Notes
2008 Wine Spectator - 92 points - Light and succulent, packaging its seductive red cherry, pomegranate, caramel and mineral flavors in a wispy blanket of fine tannins, deftly balanced to let it all sing harmoniously as the finish lingers. Drink now through 2018. - H.S.
2007 Vintage Tasting Notes
Inviting, toasty aromas of tart cherries, crushed raspberries and baking spices. Patton Valley Pinots are gutsy; the 2007 is a brighter example of what the vineyard produces. Rich layers of mixed cherries and berries are woven together by threads of mouthwatering acidity. Vanilla-laced, creamy earth tones usher the fruit through the finish. Expect the 07 Patton Valley to age for more than a decade, if you can keep your hands off it in the next couple!
The 2007 Patton Valley Vineyard Pinot Noir exhibits a nose of smoke, bing cherry pie, damp forest floor, clove and allspice. The wine enters the mouth gently, round and smooth with bright red fruits. On the mid-palate it expands with red and black cherries, mysterious and complex balsamic notes, sweet vanilla and spices. The heart of the wine is a racy acidic core, wrapped with rich cream, that accelerates across the palate. The wine finishes with lingering firm, yet polished tannins, and flavors reminiscent of baking chocolate and bramble. The wine's elegance, layered complexity, and movement on the palate are indicative of the cool vintage and are hallmarks of classic Oregon Pinot Noir. Approachable now, the aromatics and layers of flavors should become more complex with cellaring for 7 years or more. - the winery
"A gorgeous light garnet in color, this wine has a nose of wet green wood, forest floor, and plummy fruit aromas. In the mouth it is lean and bright and stony in flavor, with plum and dark cranberry fruit that have a cool crystalline quality to them. Perfectly balanced with great acidity, these flavors linger in a very nice finish." - Vinography's Alder Yarrow, 8-09
2006 Vintage Tasting Notes
Patton Valley's 2006 Pinot noir received 92 points from Wine Spectator:
"Supple, seductive and generous with its red plum, red cherry and rhubarb pie flavors, shaded with subtle hints of white pepper, white rose and coriander seed as the finish rolls on unabated. This is delicious, and should improve in the cellar as the tannins subside more. Drink now through 2016."�H.S.
Patton Valley's 2006 Pinot noir is a fleshy, structured 2006 Pinot loaded with black berry and dark currant fruit, accented with heady aromas of cherry cream. Plums build as the finish powers on, picking up sandalwood, barrel spice, thyme and vanilla bean. This should integrate nicely over the next several months and will please fans of muscular Pinot noir.
2005 Vintage Tasting Notes
Wine Spectator 91 points: Firm and focused. Not a big wine, but lean and flavorful with blackberry, dark plum and black pepper notes, lingering on the mildly chewy finish. Everything lingers enticingly. Best from 2009 through 2015. 1,400 cases made. -H.S.
This Pinot just keeps getting better! Scents of raspberry and blueberry are complemented by earth, cream, and smoke elements. Then, a big burst of full, juicy boysenberry and blueberry develops into a hefty base note that pulls you through to the long finish reiterating fruit and earth, adding spice and showing the structure that will allow for 4--6 years of development in the cellar. Best now with food, like pan-fried pork cutlets and wild mushrooms.-Marcus
Full of juicy sweet cherry and berry fruit, the 2005 Patton Valley meets and exceeds the lovely flavors of the excellent 2004 vintage. This wine has that little something that raises it above the crowd...that ephemeral ingredient the best winemakers find and cultivate as their individual expression of the grape. Monte does it again. -Jean
2004 Vintage Tasting Notes
Wine blog Vinography says: "Light garnet in the glass, this wine has an ethereal nose of pomegranate and mixed herbs. In the mouth it has lovely balance with great acidity that lifts flavors of cranberry, spices, and mixed herbs up over the palate to go singing down the back of the throat in silky slithers. The wine possesses lovely texture and weight in the mouth and hangs on for a nice finish. Score: 9/9.5."
2003 Vintage Tasting Notes Wine Spectator rating 91 points for 2003 vintage! WS says: "Ripe, open-textured and distinctive for its complex bkack cherry, sassafras, sweet oak and dusky spice aromas and flavors, lingering impressively against superfine tannins. Drink now through 2013. 1270 cases made." H.S.
Monte worked at Beaux Freres and there are definite hints of Beaux Freres' style here.
2003 Vintage Tasting Notes
From the winery: "Another Silky Treasure Patton Valley Pinot's are made to show the supple character and silky texture of the variety. The challenge in 2003 was to avoid the over extraction and tannin imbalances seen in some Oregon wines from this very hot and dry growing season. Thankfully, our Laurelwood soils helped us beat the heat and allowed us to make an elegant and luscious wine, our most complex Patton Valley to date.On the nose, black cherries, raspberries, and dark chocolate. In the mouth, the soft feel of rose petals, dark fruits and truffles. There is a persistent and well framed texture of ripe fruit and restrained oak. More forward fruitiness than the 2001 with more structure than the very opulent 2002. The finish echoes the lush, red fruits with impressive length and a soft reminder of its sense of place. Drinking surprising well now, this wine has the guts to develop into 2010 and beyond."

Under fire by his bosses at ABC and gay leaders, Grey's Anatomy star Isaiah Washington apologized Thursday for what he called his "unacceptable in any context" comments about gay costar T.R. Knight on Golden Globes night.
"I can neither defend nor explain my behavior," Washington said in a statement. "I can also no longer deny to myself that there are issues I obviously need to examine within my own soul, and I've asked for help."
Apologizing to "T.R., my colleagues, the fans of the show and especially the lesbian and gay community," Washington said he "marred what should have been a perfect night" for Grey's Anatomy and hurt both Knight and "everyone who has struggled for the respect so many of us take for granted.
"T.R.'s courage throughout this entire episode speaks to his tremendous character," Washington said. "I hold his talent, and T.R. as a person, in high esteem. I know a mere apology will not end this, and I intend to let my future actions prove my sincerity."
Washington, who plays Dr. Preston Burke on the hit ABC show, denied in the pressroom at the Golden Globes on Monday that he ever used a gay slur in reference to Knight. "No, I did not call T.R. a faggot," said Washington. "Never happened, never happened."
But during an appearance Wednesday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Knight said that Washington did use the word during an on-set argument with costar Patrick Dempsey in October.
"He referred to me as a faggot," he told DeGeneres. "Everyone heard it."
Neil Giuliano, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, said in a statement Thursday night that Washington "has scheduled a meeting with us for early next week, and we look forward to exploring opportunities for moving forward together and healing some of the wounds of the past four months."
Earlier GLAAD had demanded that Washington apologize for his actions. Meanwhile some fans have circulated a petition online to have the actor fired.
ABC has responded by saying that Washington's remarks on Globes night were "unacceptable and are being addressed."
"We have a long standing policy to create and maintain respectful workplaces for all our employees," the network said in a statement, as first reported on TVGuide.com. "We dealt with the original situation in October, and thought the issue resolved. Therefore, we are greatly dismayed that Mr. Washington chose to use such inappropriate language at the Golden Globes, language that he himself deemed 'unfortunate' in his previous public apology. We take this situation very seriously. His actions are unacceptable and are being addressed."

For a Tuesday afternoon in which nothing much happened on the Carmelo Anthony front, there were at least a few things happening on the Carmelo Anthony front.
First, Anthony arrived in Chicago for his meeting with the Bulls, finding the United Center decked out with welcoming messages and photos of him in a Bulls uniform. There was also some star power present, beginning with Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen and All-Star big man Joakim Noah, who has been slyly working on Anthony for months now.

But the big surprise was the presence of Derrick Rose, who had created a bit of a media bluster point before the free agency period began by saying that recruiting free agents really isn't his job — which, by the way, is absolutely true. But Rose was there in the Anthony meeting, which lasted much of the afternoon.
The Bulls are still considered the favorites to land Anthony — should he leave the Knicks. New York has the appeal of a longer contract at slightly more money, as well as being the home base for his family.
Still, as a source told SN earlier in the year, Anthony is seeking the "Dwight Howard treatment," which means a full round of schmoozing during this first week of free agency. Keep in mind that Anthony has never had this experience — he was traded to New York in 2011, and signed a three-year extension shortly thereafter. He has not been a free agent before.
The tour will continue Wednesday, as Anthony will be in Texas. It should be another pair of star-studded affairs, first with the Rockets — which will feature Howard himself as well as Hall of Famer Clyde Drexler—and then with the Mavericks.
It is expected that Dirk Nowitzki will be involved in the Mavericks meeting, as well as Anthony's former Knicks teammate Tyson Chandler, who was traded back to the Mavs last week.
On Thursday, Anthony's tour will take him to Los Angeles for a much-anticipated meeting with the Lakers. LA is looking to rebuild quickly, and currently has three players on the roster: Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and Robert Sacre.

The Invisible Man waits patiently, under the street lights that cast circles of solace in the murky darkness. He is wrapped tightly in the coat of some sports team, he knows little about. A scarf, fends the cold from his neck and fills the space beneath his stocking cap. The light changes and he begins to cross the street.
Old, cold limbs take precious moments to carry him across the four lanes that divide the sidewalks. He is ten feet from his destination when the light changes. Traffic charges like an angry bull. He tries to make himself small, the lines on the road a tight rope, as the cars buzz by like angry hornets.
For a moment, he is no longer invisible. He knows this because of the blaring horns and the voice echoing out of a passing Lexus, "Are you stupid!?" His head lowers, seeking refuge in the scarf, like a turtle. An eternity passes, in a few brief seconds, and the traffic has moved on. Taking his time to travel the last expanse to the sidewalk, he continues into the comfort of the shadows, invisible once more.
Watching him cross the road tonight in Hampton, I sat numb, wondering how often I have confused another as an obstacle, nuisance or distraction. A neighbor, teacher, co-worker. What hope to do we have to offer, when we drive on by? What hope do we have when we are the one standing in the road?

I have felt this before. Wanting, needing to be invisible, but forced out into the real world. The exposure can be too much. Overwhelmed, the attention can cause us not to want to come out into the world again.

In times of crisis and social change, the question of the future can become increasingly pressing. Amidst the threat of continued economic recession, extensive budget cuts, and the growing intrusion of government into the sphere of academic research, it is understandable that the future has become shrouded in discussions of impending catastrophe and the indisputable sensation that things can only be getting worse. This edition explores this by asking how the future is being represented and played out in the contemporary social world. It asks how we, as social scientists, theorise futures in times of apparent social crisis and change, and asks how these dynamics may affect our methodological and epistemological approaches. Must we always strive for 'positive' futures? And what could come out of a social science driven by 'negativity'? We therefore welcome papers that reflect upon the following topics:
• Theories of futurities
• Theorising futurities in times of social crisis and change
• Problematising apocalyptic / utopian models for theorising futurities
• Representations of the future in the contemporary social world
• The role of the future in social science methodology and epistemology
Submissions: Articles (5000-8000 words), book reviews (1000-1500 words), short essays (2000-3000 words) and visual materials are all welcome, as well as any information on seminars, lectures, conferences, blogs and other events and spaces offering new platforms for the understanding of futurities within the social sciences. Please include an abstract, short author bio and 3-5 key words.
Deadline for all contributions is Monday 16th January 2012. Details of submission guidelines and formatting instructions can be found on the website at http://www.gjss.org/index.php?/gjss.org-Submission-of-Articles.html. Please email all contributions and enquiries to the Chief Editors of GJSS, Alexa Athelstan and Rosemary Deller, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Suggestions and enquiries regarding book reviews should be directed to Book Review Editor, Melissa Kelly at email@example.com.

If you're looking for lake homes for sale in Illinois, set your sights on Lake Sara, in Effingham County. Constructed in 1957, Lake Sara became a vital resource in providing water to Effingham County and surrounding areas. Today, the lake continues to serve that same purpose, while catering to locals' needs for outstanding outdoor recreation water sport fun! Once you experience Lake Sara, you'll forget that you're well within driving distance of such metropolises as Chicago and St. Louis. All you'll know is that you're home!
Blue Point Creek was impounded in order to form Lake Sara, which ultimately feeds into the Little Wabash River. The lake itself covers 840 square acres of space, becoming an instant attraction for anyone in the area looking to make a splash! Area anglers certainly look to these waters to fulfill their want for quality fishing, as Lake Sara is known throughout the Midwest for offering up irresistible catches. Hunt for bluegill, walleye, crappie, channel catfish, and largemouth bass, along with carp, bullhead, and gizzard shad to name a few. The lake teems with numerous populations of fish from years of meticulous stocking. And while it makes for fruitful fishing any time, you won't be able to resist putting your angling skills to the test at any of several fishing tournaments hosted on the lake each year.
Lake Sara is encircled by 27 miles of shoreline dotted here and there by lakefront properties, full-service marinas, campgrounds, and intimate resorts. Water toys of all shapes and sizes are welcome here, where there are no motor restrictions posed on boats. Launch your pontoon, sailboat, speedboat, kayak, or Jet Ski from the lake's own public boat ramp and hit the open water! Jet Skis are held to specific guidelines to promote safety, guaranteeing everyone can have a fun and carefree time. Whether you prefer to catch the sights from a wind-whipping sailboat or savor the finer details by exploring Lake Sara's many coves from a raft or kayak, you're only a splash away from the time of your life!
Lake homes for sale also share prime waterfront real estate with such enticing recreation accommodations as a public beach, picnic area, and several campgrounds. Once you've dried off from a day in the water, you'll want to appreciate Lake Sara from the perspective of hiking or biking along any of the many trails that line its shores. And your swing will surely benefit from being tested by a pleasant round or two at any area golf course. Such notable links as Cardinal, Fore-Way Challenge, and Effingham Country Club combine challenging drives with stunning backdrops to create a golf experience you won't soon forget. If you'd like to live on a Lake Sara area golf course, visit GolfHomes.com for property listings.
Once you get Lake Sara under your skin, it will be delightfully difficult to think of this recreation wonderland as anything other than home!
Beautiful northern-style lake with 27 miles of wooded shoreline containing residential lots. Waterskiing, fishing, swimming, motor boating, a golf course, beach, trails, and camping are all available at the lake. Lake Sara is located approximately 3 miles northwest of Effingham off Route 32. Lake Sara is located 3 hours south of Chicago on I65/I70.

It's time for a paradigm shift. We have long thought of Bowen as a growing, thriving community. Between the 2001 and 2006 census our population increased by over 400 people. But on February 8 Statistics Canada informed us that between 2006 and 2011 our population increased by 42 people. The typical response to that information is that Stats Canada must have made a mistake, but they didn't. During the last five years the number of dwelling units "occupied by usual residents" only increased by six units. So, as hard as it is to believe, population growth on Bowen has come to a grinding halt.
If you're wondering how this happened just cast your mind back to about 2006 when the ferry overloads were getting intolerable. To sustain continued population growth we needed a larger ferry. Instead BC Ferries started to raise fares and kept raising them until the overloads went away. With the overloads went the commuters and the consistent growth trend that we had seen for thirty years. Some will argue that this is just a blip and that soon our population will be growing again. I don't think so. For most newcomers commuting is a fact of life. The cost and capacity of the ferry is everything and BC Ferries has no intention of replacing our existing boat within their ten-year plan.
The census reminds us that 120 new dwelling units were built during the last five years. That means that almost 25% of the houses on Bowen are now seasonal houses. So we get property taxes from over 400 houses that use very few municipal services. Conversely 400 occupied houses would add 1,000 to our population taking us from 3600 through to the magic number of 4500 which is where demographers tell us that all manner of retail businesses and services become viable. So the catch 22 is that we need the people to become a reasonably self-sufficient little town but we can't get the people because of high ferry fares. But if the fares go down the overloads would mean that we would need a bigger ferry. If we got a bigger ferry we would have to spend money on ferry marshalling. That would necessitate tax increases, which would require more development to get more taxpayers. And we would be on track to becoming another small town consumed by a rapidly growing metropolis.
So let's assume that we graciously accept that our ferry constraints will be with us for the foreseeable future. When we look at the commuter traffic we have to keep in mind that, while overall volume is slowly declining, the faces keep on changing. Long time commuters are slowly retiring, young couples looking for the ideal environment for starting a family are still arriving and many, whose children have reached high school age or beyond, are moving to more convenient locals. As more census information is released we will be able to see whether we are aging in place or moving to Bowen for particular phases of life.
Sticking with gracious acceptance for a while we should look at how this increasing demographic of absentee owners will affect public policy. Our first lesson came during the last election. My sense of it was that the younger families on Bowen were quite excited by the prospect of a national park while the older and summer people were dead-set against it. Normally I don't think that many of the absentee owners would bother voting in November but they turned out in droves when the status quo was threatened.
Looking ahead a few months to when our summer residents arrive, the ferry line-ups will get worse so water taxi services, at least for the summer, should become more and more viable. Especially if tourists to Vancouver are sold on the fun of hopping on a small boat at Granville Island and shooting over to a quaint island park for the day. I see us going back to being more of a seasonal, tourist-oriented island. In the late seventies our population swung wildly from 3000 people in the summer to 800 in the winter. We longed for the first rains of September when the season ended and life settled down.
So, do we still worry that the island is going to be swallowed up by Metro Vancouver? Do we worry that we won't have the tax base to pay for our sewage treatment or a new community hall? Will the absorption rate for commercial real estate get so low that instead of maybe allowing development in the Cove we'll be begging for it? Will the Municipality finally get around to offering some surplus lands for sale only to find that there's no market? Will that loan haunt our tax bills forever?
My guess is that Bowen is about to be rediscovered. But this time it will be by those less dependent on commuting. Baby boomers looking to cash out their Vancouver homes and young families who appreciate the value of community will continue to find their way here. We offer a vibrant, joyous community with an exceptional number of opportunities for newcomers to join and enjoy the social group that they have been craving. The paradigm has shifted but not necessarily for the worse.

Federal tax credits have phased out for hybrid and clean-diesel automobiles, but did you know that state tax credits for buying those same vehicles live on in South Carolina?
For some who bought a qualifying new vehicle in 2011, the provision could be worth more than $600.
South Carolina's "alternative motor vehicle credit" has been around for five tax years and has no expiration date. But it appears to be little-known, even among those in the new-car industry. Just 246 tax filers claimed the credit in 2009, according to the most recent state data available.
The credit may get overlooked because the provision is written in a complicated and seemingly contradictory way, as it's based on a federal tax credit that in many cases is no longer available.
The way it all boils down is this: If you bought a new car in South Carolina last year, and if that make and model was ever eligible for the relevant federal credit, South Carolina will give you a tax credit equal to 20 percent of what used to be the maximum federal credit.
A little background: The federal tax credits were part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and were available for hybrid, fuel cell, alternative fuel (usually compressed natural gas) and advanced lean-burn (high-efficiency diesel) vehicles.
The tax credits were meant to encourage sales of new models with cutting-edge energy-saving technology. The credits phased out for different makes and models as certain levels of sales were reached. In any case, vehicles had to be purchased by the end of 2010 to qualify, and the federal credits under that program are now gone.
In South Carolina, the Legislature passed a companion measure in 2005 that provided for a state credit equal to 20 percent of the federal credit.
However -- and this is the key part -- the legislation specifically stated that the state tax credits would continue "without regard to the federal phaseout limits of Internal Revenue Code," and the IRS provisions would be "considered permanent" when calculating the state credit.
That means that any vehicle that ever qualified for the federal tax break still qualifies for the state credit, so long as it was purchased new.
For example, to get a full $3,400 federal tax credit, you would have had to buy a new Ford Fusion hybrid by April 1, 2009. But in South Carolina, you can still get 20 percent of the full federal amount, or $680, if you bought the same car last year.
The full $3,150 federal tax credit for buying a Toyota Prius phased out even earlier in September 2006, but the tax credit survives in South Carolina at 20 percent of the original federal maximum: $630.
You also can get a South Carolina tax credit if in 2011 you bought a new hybrid version of a Toyota Camry, Honda Civic, Ford Escape, Lexus RX400, Mercedes ML 450, BMW X6 or 750i, Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Tahoe or Silverado, GMC Sierra or Yukon, Nissan Altima, Porsche Cayenne. And the list goes on.
Search online for "Internal Revenue Code Section 30B" and you'll find the eligible models. The S.C. Department of Revenue says it has no list of its own.
The South Carolina credit also is available for lean-burn vehicles, which include many Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Volkswagen diesel models. The Audi and Volkswagen "TDI" models are on the list, along with Mercedes "Bluetec" models.
The lean-burn credits are generally not as large as those for hybrids. For 2011 model years, the state credit would range from $180 for a VW Touareg TDI or a Mercedes ML350 Bluetec and up to $360 for a BMW X5 xDrive 35D.
And if you're one of the rare buyers of a Honda Civic FCX Clarity fuel cell model or a Honda Civic GX natural gas model, you're also due for a state tax credit.
The tax credit is claimed on Line 5 of the tax credit worksheet, SC1040TC. Free tax forms are available online at sctax.org.
The federal government continues to offer a tax credit of up to $7,500 for plug-in electric vehicles. South Carolina's credit for plug-ins was repealed after the 2010 tax year.

Product Review (submitted on March 20, 2013):
I tried this tea from the sample box to see if it was something I would like. I had to add sugar (I have a bit of a sweet tooth), and it was pretty good with that. This has a fruit and spice taste. I think between the cinnamon and ginger, the latter is more prominent making this an occasional tea for me. I still prefer the Herbal Hot Cinnamon Spice tea, though. That is my everyday tea by the many cup fulls! :)

Martinique is an island in the eastern Caribbean Sea. It is an overseas department of France. Its official language is French, although almost all of its inhabitants also speak Antillean Creole (Créole Martiniquais).
The north of the island is mountainous (Mount Pelee, an active volcano) and lushly forested. The volcanic ash has created beautiful grey and black sand beaches in the north (in particular between Anse Ceron and Anse des Gallets), contrasting markedly from the white sands of Les Salines in the south.
The beaches from Pointe de Bout, through Diamant (which features right off the coast the beautiful Roche de Diamant), St. Luce, the town of St. Anne all the way down to Les Salines are very popular.
We started 2 weeks in family (2 children, 1 year and 8 years) for Martinique to change air ...
First, let me say that it is an ideal destination for children: French doctor and impeccable quality of care. Also in supermarkets all that is needed. However, the price is increased by 30%.
In the north, black sand beaches. In the south, white sand beaches. The highest summit is Mount Pelee.
Many cars on Fort-de-France and especially in the South - North in the morning.
In April, the air temperature hovered around 30 ° C and the water around 27 °C.
Power cuts were frequent during the second week. According to Martinique, several cut in 1 week remain exceptional.

HONOLULU (AP) - The Hawaii House is moving forward with measures to address the state's unfunded liabilities, create a preschool program through private-public partnerships and amend the state's renewable energy tax credits.
Hawaii lawmakers spent several hours Tuesday debating numerous bills in anticipation of a deadline this week. Lawmakers have until Thursday to vote on bills and decide whether they need to be debated in conference committees.
The House approved a bill to address mounting unfunded liabilities for employee and retiree benefits by creating a captive insurance company to manage risk. The state Finance Director has criticized the proposal as potentially ineffective.
The House also passed a bill to protect domestic workers from discrimination and one adding harsher penalties for animal cruelty.
The bills now go to the Senate for a vote.

An Unfathomable Situation
The first weekend after the attacks, I volunteered at St. Vincent's Hospital. By then, the empty stretchers that had lined Greenwich Avenue had already been wheeled back inside. There was nobody to fill them. Technically, then, we weren't helping the rescue effort. We were helping hospital workers get through their normal rounds of West Village emergencies, but even that felt important, however unrelated to the tragedy. The volunteer station had been set up atop the hospital steps at the corner of Greenwich and 7th Avenue, as if our raised view of several streets could somehow bring order and reason to an unfathomable situation.
Paralyzed Helplessness
We needed to be involved with each other, and so we all kept coming — a woman from Hoboken who couldn't stop crying, a Los Angeles costume designer who canceled a flight to remain in New York, a couple from Atlanta that took a week off work to drive up. Professional masseurs from the Upper East Side arrived to give free massages to rescue workers. Everybody needed to keep active, to fend off the paralyzed helplessness of watching images of carnage repeated ad nauseam on TV. Not only did we need to be with other people, but we needed to be with them in public spaces, as if our presence outdoors, on the streets, would refill the city's depleted veins.
A Stable Force of Help
Those streets outside St. Vincent's had become one of many ad hoc missing person's memorials, complete with candles and scores of photographs smiling hauntingly on the walls. A middle-aged Japanese woman with an "I Love Israel" hat was passing out books about Jesus. A men's choir sang "God Bless America" to sustained applause. Beneath the missing person's photographs, three women held each other, shaking, in a triangle of agony. Just being a part of that process, being a stable force of peanut butter and jelly, Lo Mein and Gatorade in the midst of the public funeral, was a source of comfort for everybody, including the volunteers. Besides, when their shifts ended, firefighters and cops came up from the rubble and we could feed them.
Overflowing with Donations
We galloped over each other to feed anybody wearing a hard hat. One day a woman approached us with food. We had to turn her down; we were overflowing with donations, and her food would just go bad. She was shaken, she couldn't accept it. She raised her voice: "You're telling me that what I'm trying to do here, what I need to do here, you're not going to let me do?" So we had to comfort her too, to softly reassure her that later in the week, her food would be needed. It was the first time I ever felt a sense of community in New York — of people living for other people, of people who could not survive without giving. I wondered how long it could last.
A Need to Grieve with Others
St. Vincent's Hospital wasn't enough. I needed to be with people not just in giving but in grieving. I needed to be part of some testament to life, a public event whose energy derived from our shared humanity. Union Square had become New York's central area of public mourning, so I went there a couple days after the disaster.
A Museum of Mourning
The square was a mosaic of grief, with the most creative and enthralling dedications to the missing. The Twin Towers were everywhere, replicated into a universal archetype on children's drawings, sculptures, and innovative twists on ancient images. It was like a museum of mourning, filled with a flowing mass of wandering hipsters, NYU kids, homeboys, evangelics, mommies, tourists, transcendentalists. They all had this look of heightened sensitivity and genuine humility. Again, it was as if snobbery and pretense, the city's indomitable traits, had suddenly vanished.
Uniting in Harmony
A big crowd was dancing to bongo drums and singing, "Give Peace a Chance." Young Europeans riffed the line "People of the world, unite, unite!" and danced and smiled as if they were at a rave. It was beautiful, after days of ceaseless tears, to witness this life-affirming response to grief. That was the way it seemed to me — people uniting in the harmony of our shared humanity after such a tragic catastrophe. People letting go, embracing life after such a horror.
Discussion Questions
1. Eli Valley describes a community spirit in New York City in the immediate aftermath of September 11th. From your experience was this neighborhood spirit apparent in your community after the attacks?
2. What factors do you look for in considering whether there is a sense of community?

Two men identified as street racers charged with murder in connection with a fatal crash that claimed the life of their friend a year ago are going straight to trial without a preliminary hearing following a grand jury indictment in the case, a spokeswoman for prosecutors said.
On Wednesday, Colt Sean Doherty, 19, and Thomas Joseph Vensko, 20, both of Canyon Country, pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from the grand jury indictment, Jane Robison of the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office said Monday.
The pair was scheduled to appear at a preliminary hearing Tuesday but the indictment rules out the need for a preliminary hearing, she said.
The indictment was unsealed last week, she said.
Doherty and Vensko were arraigned on the indictment's charges and assigned a new case number. The charges, however, remain the same.
Prosecutors are expected to ask the judge to dismiss the old case as they press forward with the new one, Robison said.
They are scheduled to appear for a pre-trial hearing Tuesday.
Doherty and Vensko, both of Canyon Country, are charged on suspicion of second-degree murder in the death of Dakota DeMott, 19, also of Canyon Country.
DeMott died Jan. 10, 2012, when the Ford Mustang in which he was riding slammed into a tree on Sand Canyon Road at Alamo Canyon Road in Canyon Country. Doherty is believed to be the driver of that car.
In August, prosecutors with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office identified Doherty and Vensko as "street racers" when they charged them with second-degree murder.
Doherty, who remains in custody with bail set at $1 million, is also charged with one count of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and one count of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs causing injury.
Vensko, who was released from custody in November after posting $100,000 bail, is also charged with vehicular manslaughter.
In January, a preliminary hearing expected to involve four days of testimony was scheduled for two men but was delayed at least twice since then for various reasons.
During that hearing, prosecutors would have presented evidence in the case, and the defense would have been able to respond, after which the judge would have decided if the case should go to trial.
The grand jury indictment revealed last week, however, rules out the need for such a hearing.

Historic rail car returns to Unicoi County
UNICOI COUNTY, Tenn - A historic rail car returned to its one time home in Unicoi County, where it was used by the Clinchfield Railroad from the early 1950's to the 1980's.
The car is actually more than 100 years old and has been refurbished over the years. It was brought to Erwin by the Clinchfield Railroad to become the official office car.
During its time in Erwin, it served as the Santa Train car where Santa stood on the back throwing gifts. In 1983, it was retired and moved around a bit but now it's finally back in our area.
The rail car display was held in conjunction with a health fair at the Erwin National Guard Armory that was free to the public.
Health care professionals, counselors and others were on hand to help people with their health concerns.

Here is the browser market share for May 2014, based on traffic to my top site (number in parentheses shows change from April 2014):
Google Chrome: 49.83% (+1.58%)
Firefox: 21.17% (-0.08%)
Safari: 3.31% (-0.03%)
Opera: 0.78% (-0.11%)
The big news in May was the 1.24% drop in IE's market share. The most likely reason was the zero-day vulnerability discovered in April and the subsequent press coverage (including the one from US CERT). We had predicted that IE's market share would dip by at least 0.5% in May, and IE's loss turned out to be more than that.
Google Chrome was the biggest winner in May, as it was now approaching 50% in usage. All other browsers showed a decline, although the decline was relatively small outside of IE. It is worth mentioning that Android browser had a 0.84% share in May, higher than that of Opera.

Computer networking in Angleton is the practice of linking computing devices together with hardware and software that supports data communications across these devices. Networks can be categorized in several different ways. One approach defines the type of network according to the geographic area it spans; Local area networks typically reach across a single home, whereas, wide area networks reach across cities, states, or even across the world. The internet is the world's largest public WAN. Computer networks also differ in their design; they may be client-server or peer-to-peer. Client-server networks, much more common in business, feature centralized server computers that store e-mail, web pages, files and applications. Conversely, all computers tend to support the same functions on a peer-to-peer network, more common in homes.

Interview: Bun B talks Soul FoodThursday, October 22nd, 2009
Last week NPR's All Things Considered ran an interview I conducted with Bun B about one of his (and my, and your) favorite rap albums – Goodie Mob's Soul Food. As is often the case with radio features the conversation was condensed considerably for time, so I'm bringing you the extended cut over here. Bare in mind that the conversation was originally intended for a bigger-than-rap audience, so forgive me if the questions are a too leading or expositionish. Shout to NPR and the great Frannie Kelley for making this all happen. And to Bun, of course.
Noz: What made you choose Soul Food?
Bun: I picked Soul Food because at the time it dropped I was an artist, I was part of the industry and for different reasons I was starting to become [disenchanted] with the industry. After being on the inside I started not being crazy about everything worked. I was having a lot of issues with sample clearance and being able to promote myself or market myself the way I thought we should have been and I was like "is there still room for an artist to make the music that they want to make?" When I heard Soul Food I realized that [there was]. It was obvious that Soul Food was not made for a record company's commercial standpoint. (more…)

Eric Stonestreet: Dog Coleman Is the Best Decision I've Ever Made
Thanksgiving may be weeks away, but Eric Stonestreet is feeling the gratitude.
The Modern Family star is glad that when he visited an animal shelter in 2000, he didn't leave empty-handed.
"Through it all. Ups downs. Disappointments and excitement. Success and failure. This guy remains to be the best decision I've ever made," Stonestreet Tweeted Monday, with a pretty WhoSay portrait of his beloved Jack Russell terrier/beagle mix Coleman.
The actor told PEOPLE in July that Coleman didn't exactly jump into his arms when he first met him that day at the shelter.
"He scratched me, then bit my hand," he said. "I knew I had to take him home, and he has been my best friend and right-hand man ever since."

Authorities in Saudi Arabia arrested 53 Ethiopian Christians during a private worship service this month.
Fox News reported the believers are foreign workers living in the Islamic Kingdom and that they were arrested by the mutawa, Saudi Arabia's religious police, simply for worshipping Christ.
The Saudi government claims to tolerate other faiths, but religious freedom groups say such arrests are on the rise there.
Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, R-Neb., who sits on the Caucus on Religious Minorities in the Middle East, condemned the actions of the Saudi authorities.
"Nations that wish to be a part of the responsible nations of the world must see the protection of religious freedom and the principles of reason as an essential part of the duty of the state," Fortenberry said.
Last year, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia said all churches on the Arabian peninsula should be destroyed.

Mom Jeans: Not What They Used to Betoddler-times
Mom Jeans. When you say those words, it conjures up images of your mom in her high waisted Lee jeans with tapered legs. Or maybe you can only picture the Saturday Night Live skit from a few years ago. But now, with Heidi Klum and Angelina Jolie as our aspirational moms, the picture is beginning to change. The term "Mom Jeans" is taking on a whole new life… and it's a far cry from the years past. See ten celebrity moms in their mom jeans today on Babble.com to see which celebs hit it right on and which missed completely. And read on to see my suggestions for your own "mom jean" look.
There's a few things that I tell my clients to look for in an all around great jean for those of us non-Heidi Klums out there. Because now when you shop for jeans there's an array of "crazy washes" as I call them, and jeans so low that you can forget being able to kneel down at the park, so it's hard to know where to begin.
So I recommend a dark wash with no whiskering (those faded lines around the crotch area) or faded thigh area, a little bit of stretch, and unless you have abs like Gwen Stefani then a slightly higher rise that keeps you sucked in preventing the dreaded muffin top.
For a skinny jean, I like these from Gap.com. Gap jeans just keep getting better…
For a boot cut jean, I really like these by 7 for all Mankind… And don't feel like you need to wear them long with heels, you can hem them to wear with flats!
And for straight leg jeans, I like these by Citizens of Humanity

Whitehorse, YT: When woolly mammoths roamed
What might you be doing in the Yukon? Imagining Beringia, maybe.
That's where the first people on the continent are said to have lived, hard by the Arctic, along with mammoths, on the steppe tundra. The area of Siberia, Alaska, and the Yukon was glacier-free and humans entered the continent from Siberia. That was 20,000 years or more before Columbus.
It's all chronicled at the Beringia Interpretive Centre, out on Mile 914 of the Alaska Highway, reconstructed with help from ice age fossils. You can learn about woolly mammoths, saigas, and, surprise!, native camels.
Sure you can hit South Beach on your next vacation. But Beringia makes a much better story, huh? Open May through September, or by appointment.

Transocean has entered the S&P 500. The world's largest drilling company, readers may recall, was one of the companies that brought us the Deepwater Horizon disaster, along with BP and Halliburton.
BP was forced to dispose of billions of dollars of assets and its legal settlements have cost it about $10 billion so far. Transocean paid $1.4 billion in fines and civil settlements.
Halliburton also fared better than BP. It was fined a mere $200,000, or 0.00002 per cent of BP's settlements.
In the United States, it seems, some companies have all the luck.
