27 November 2012: A paper contributed to the Global Water Forum (GWF) website by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) evaluates the impact of climate change on irrigation and hydropower schemes in the Ethiopian portion of the Blue Nile River.
In the paper, titled "The implications of climate change for water resource development in the Blue Nile River," Matthew McCartney of IWMI presents results from the modeling of four development scenarios based on existing and planned hydropower dam projects. The results indicate that anticipated changes in climate will affect both hydropower generation and water supply to irrigation schemes, especially from the middle to latter part of the 21st century, with resulting impacts on agriculture and electricity production.
McCartney recommends more systematic planning of water storage, and greater cooperation between the riparian states. He proposes consideration of water storage systems that may use surface water in conjunction with groundwater, perhaps transnationally. He observes that planning for climate change requires going beyond water to consider other sectors in the water-energy-food nexus.
The GWF was established in 2010 by the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Chair in Water Economics and Transboundary Water Governance, to present knowledge and insight from water researchers and practitioners.

Five Things I Am NOT Looking Forward To In 2012Heather Spohr
Right about now the Internet is flush with posts anticipating all the wonderful things that will hopefully come our way in the New Year. I too love to think about all the things to look forward to in 2012, but today (perhaps because I am under the weather) I have found myself thinking about all the things I am NOT looking forward to. Here is my list of the things that have the potential to make 2012 a pain in the butt:
1. The 2012 Presidential Election: Regardless of whether you plan to support President Obama or his Republican challenger, we are all in for a long ten-plus months of bickering, insults, and debate. It will be like an episode of "The Real Housewives" on repeat.
2. Mayan Doomsday Talk: Oh boy. Yet another end of days prediction. Can't we all agree these things are ridiculous? Also, the world is supposedly scheduled to end on December 21st. How lame is that? Couldn't they have at least have pushed it back a few days so we could enjoy opening our Christmas presents?
3. Favorite TV Shows Ending or Getting Canceled: "The Closer" is set to finish its run in 2012, and the hilarious "Community" is on thin ice. Even "The Simpsons" might be nearing the end! Ugh. I am not looking forward to having my favorite TV shows messed with. I am going to need my stories to help distract me from all the Election/Doomsday talk.
4. The Terrible Twos: My daughter Annie is turning two on January 22nd, and I am not looking forward to all of the tears, tantrums, and screams of "Mine!" Maybe if we tell her she's turning three we can trick her into being chill?
5. No Flying Cars: Wow. It's 2012 already and we don't have flying cars, condos on the moon, or robot butlers. Clearly, all the science fiction we loved as kids lied to us. Get it together, nerds. It's time to step up your game.
What things are you not looking forward to in 2012?

text: The very first Zelda game that I ever experienced was The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for the Nintendo Game Boy. I never owned the game, but I borrowed it frequently from my good friend. I was fairly young at the time and all I can remember about it from then was that it was the first game I played that had a massive world in which the player has to explore and search for the path to the next dungeon. Oh yes and I cannot forget the debt that I owe the game for making long car rides during summer vacation somewhat bearable. When the Game Boy Color version of the game was released last year on the eshop for the 3DS, I immediatly purchased the game due to my fond memories of it, yet I only played it for a few minutes before I returned to the 3d escapades of The Ocarina of Time. Then something hit me about a month ago: I really need to play all the way through Link's Awakening; I at least owe it that much for bailing me out of car-ride-boredom all of those years ago. I can now proudly say that I have finished the game and I even took the time to find enough secret seashell pieces to upgrade my sword thanks to the help of gamefaqs (no, I didn't have the patience to find them all on my own). Having played most of the entries in the Zelda series, I really think that Link's Awakening holds its own against the best of the series and really deserves to be remembered as such. Having said that, I highly suggest that if you have never played the game then you really should; it is an easy purchase on the eshop if you have a 3DS or you can even find the Game Boy version for a reasonable price on eBay. Anyways, thanks for reading and go wake the wind fish!

Join The Motley Fool for a conversation with retired Costco CEO Jim Sinegal. In love with retail since his first job as a bagger in 1954, Sinegal co-founded Costco and served as president and CEO of the retail giant from 1983 until his retirement in January 2012.
In the following video, Sinegal discusses the challenges of managing stores around the globe, and how to prioritize to make the most of international travel.
To watch the full interview, click here.
The Motley Fool's chief investment officer has selected his No. 1 stock for this year. Find out which stock it is in the special free report: "The Motley Fool's Top Stock for 2013." Just click here to access the report and find out the name of this under-the-radar company.
Brendan Byrnes: When you first started expanding internationally, obviously it's a much farther plane ride to Japan, to Taiwan, than it is a couple hours down to California. Did your management style change when it got more decentralized? How did you go about thinking about that?
Jim Sinegal: Well, it's an emotional tug-of-war here. We want to be in these places, frequently, and yet we recognize that it takes 15 hours to get to Australia. That's not a day trip. You're going over there, you've got to make a commitment to be there, so we try to tie a lot of things together when we're there.
We're going to be looking at different sites. We're going to visit our locations. We're going to go for a grand opening this summer. You try to manage your time much better.
One of the things we do when we go to Australia, as an example, is we stop to refuel in Hawaii so we can visit the Hawaii locations while they're refueling, then head on down to Australia. You learn how to schedule your time and prioritize.
But it is more difficult, there is no question. You're not going to get into all of the -- every single day that I'm in town I'm across the street, much to the chagrin of the people across the street, but we're over there all the time, and working with them.
Every warehouse in the company is not going to get that type of attention. You can't expect it. But recognizing those places you haven't been for a long time, making sure that when you go someplace you get the best mileage out of that trip.
[Current Costco CEO Craig Jelinek] and I went to Chicago here, a couple weeks ago. I was going because I was going to speak at Northwestern, at the Kellogg School.
We made sure that we scheduled the trip so that we got in there, we got around to about eight to 10 of our places while we were there, as opposed to just going to Chicago and coming back. You've got to take advantage of the fact that you've just invested eight hours of traveling -- four going and four coming back -- and get the most out of it.

Ananias and Sapphira
Ananias and Sapphira
1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.
2 With his wife�s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles� feet.
3 Then Peter said, �Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?
4 Didn�t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn�t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.�
5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened.
6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.
7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
Peter asked her, �Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?�
�Yes,� she said, �that is the price.�
9 Peter said to her, �How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.�
10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.
The Apostles Heal Many
The Apostles Heal Many
12 The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon�s Colonnade.
13 No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people.
14 Nevertheless, more and more men and women believed in the Lord and were added to their number.
15 As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter�s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.
16 Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those tormented by impure spirits, and all of them were healed.
The Apostles Persecuted
The Apostles Persecuted
17 Then the high priest and all his associates, who were members of the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy.
18 They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.
19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out.
20 �Go, stand in the temple courts,� he said, �and tell the people all about this new life.�
At daybreak they entered the temple courts, as they had been told, and began to teach the people.
When the high priest and his associates arrived, they called together the Sanhedrin�the full assembly of the elders of Israel�and sent to the jail for the apostles.
22 But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they went back and reported,
23 �We found the jail securely locked, with the guards standing at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.�
24 On hearing this report, the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests were at a loss, wondering what this might lead�to.
25 Then someone came and said, �Look! The men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people.�
26 At that, the captain went with his officers and brought the apostles. They did not use force, because they feared that the people would stone them.
27 The apostles were brought in and made to appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest.
28 �We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,� he said. �Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man�s blood.�
29 Peter and the other apostles replied: �We must obey God rather than human beings!
30 The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead�whom you killed by hanging him on a cross.
31 God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins.
32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.�
33 When they heard this, they were furious and wanted to put them to death.
34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while.
35 Then he addressed the Sanhedrin: �Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men.
36 Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing.
37 After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered.
38 Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail.
39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.�
40 His speech persuaded them. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them�go.
41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.
42 Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.

Join Smithsonian scientists and explore coastal ecosystems in Central America, along the coast of Belize. Here thousands of small islands, called cays (pronounced keys) lie in the lagoon between the mainland and barrier reef. Mangrove forests dominate this coastal zone, along with sea grass beds and coral reefs. Discover how these three ecosystems are inextricably linked, and how the distribution of mangroves parallels the distrubution of coral reefs worldwide.
Mangroves are diverse communities of trees that grow in the intertidal zone of tropical coasts. These plants have specialized adaptations that allow them to live where other plants can't. During this electronic field trip, investigate these characteristics that define mangroves and the adaptations that allow them to live where land and sea intertwine.
Mangrove swamps are often described as the "rainforests or nurseries of the sea." They host diverse communities of pants and animals, including several species of sea turtles. Female sea turtles lay their eggs on the very same beach from which they emerged as hatchlings, migration thousands of miles to return to their natal beach. The delicate eggs incubate in the nests on the land's edge where the land and sea intertwine. Explore the life cycle of the sea turtles, including their migratory stop along the coast of Belize.

Other Tetras»
The fish itself is a silvery color, with each scale on the body outlined with black, giving an overall impression of check marks more than spots. There is a faint black line running on the middle of the side from eye to tail. The most recognizable characteristic of the Spotted Headstander is that it always swims in a 45 degree downward facing angle – thus the name "headstander."
These are very peaceful fish, with a very small mouth, which is the major problem in getting them to thrive in an aquarium. They require very small, preferable live or frozen foods; they will virtually never take any regular dry prepared foods. Unless you are prepared to give them the foods that they require, you really should not purchase this fish. This also is a problem with the Spotted Headstander in local fish stores. Unless the store is very competent and pays a lot of attention to their fish, and they have gotten their Spotted Headstanders from a distributor who also makes sure they are well fed, many of the Spotted Headstanders you see offered for sale are well on their way to starving to death. If you do want to purchase some it is best to have the store feed them in your presence, so you can be sure that they are eating.

Although many people believe Indian institutions of higher education are some of the best in the world, university rankings from independent university ranking organisations such as The Times Higher Education (THE), Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) and Shanghai Ranking place Indian universities in much lower ranks than expected. As a result, for those students who can afford a foreign higher education, studying abroad becomes an increasingly attractive proposition.
Questions arise: Can this brain drain be reversed? Can Indian institutes of higher education take up the challenge to improve their standards and rise above the mediocrity that dogs its very essence? And most significantly, where would they start?
In an excellent article on the state of universities and higher education in India, titled Learning and intensity: the crisis of intellectual engagement in higher education, in The Telegraph newspaper from Kolkata, India, dated 4 September 2015, Prabhat Patnaik, Professor Emeritus, Centre for Economic Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, brings to surface one such essential element of Indian institutes of higher education. He says,
"There has been much lamentation in the country of late over the fact that no institution of higher learning figures in the list of top 100 prepared by The Times Higher Educational Supplement. But this is not the real problem, which consists rather, as already mentioned, in the absence of any intensity of intellectual engagement in Indian institutions of higher education."
Later in the article, Professor Patnaik describes an obvious impediment in Indian higher education which fuels this mediocrity that dogs Indian higher education. He writes,
"The university now is seen increasingly as an extension of the higher secondary level where students are expected to learn, assiduously no doubt, the material available in some text-book, and regurgitate it as competently as possible in the examination hall. The emphasis is not on questioning, contesting, thinking for oneself, and thinking creatively, but rather on excelling in mastery over a "package", which allegedly constitutes "knowledge"."
Professor Patnaik goes even farther to address the 'commodification of education in India' with these words:
"The commodification of education presupposes the commodification of the products of education – that is, of those "buying" education; and, for them, education becomes a mere input that should aim to give them command over the largest possible sum of money. The proliferation of private profit-making universities on the one hand (which invariably claim, illicitly, that they are not profit-making because their profits are being ploughed back into the institution). And of students, on the other, who see education entirely as a means of commanding a larger income, are the twin features of a world where education is getting commodified – and this ethos affects public universities as well."

This mostly vegetarian and vegan restaurant serves made-to-order dishes and fresh-squeezed juices. See a slideshow of photos here.
And the name really does say it all: The juice combinations are definitely creative. I had a juice special with apple, pear, beet, ginger and lemon. It was served in a mason jar and was bright red due to the beet juice (see photo below). And it was absolutely delicious. Other creative juices are called Groovin' Greens and Sunrise Surfer.
The Great American Craft Beer Tour, originally scheduled for May 25 at the Fountain of Youth, has been canceled.
"We were disappointed to learn of the cancelation of the event," said Kit Keating, PR manager at the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park.
Tom Kiermaier, founder of Great American Craft Beer Tour LLC, blames slow ticket sales as one of the reasons the event won't happen in St. Augustine.
"The GACBT was postponed for 2014 due to a lack of funding," Kiermaier said.
The voting is complete and the Ancient City finished No. 6 in the Best Historic City contest, an online event hosted by 10Best, a division of USA Today Travel.
The top five include Montgomery, Ala.; Annapolis, Md.; Williamsburg, Va.; Savannah; and Charleston, S.C. "I think a lot of people would have named those other cities. But for St. Augustine to be there, I think that's a feather in our cap," said Paul Williamson, director of public affairs for the city of St. Augustine.
The historic building that houses Pot Belly's Cinema Plus will soon have new owners and a new name.
Bob and Karla Wagner, newer part-time residents of St. Augustine, have big plans for the space — a lunch eatery and a movie theater in the evenings.
"My vision is to have Sundance and indie (independent) movies … and maybe a first-run movie from time to time," Karla said.
In addition to indie films, Karla hopes to partner with Flagler College and community groups for film festivals and special events.
Coca-Cola memorabilia, metal lunch boxes, Star Wars collectibles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys and Barbie Dolls in original boxes are just a few of the items that will be auctioned Saturday at Pot Belly's Cinema Plus.
Owner Kenneth Pierce has been a collector all his life and has filled every nook and cranny of the historic building in downtown St. Augustine with things that he enjoys. He estimates there are 1 million items total to be sold.
Giant bowls of steaming noodle soup, called pho, are offered at Saigon Pho Bistro, a new restaurant on the island.
The menu also features authentic Vietnamese dishes such as spring rolls, charbroiled pork, seafood or lemongrass beef plates. And, the resturant's name sake — beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, tofu and vegetable noodle bowls.
For the adventurous, there is a beef, meatball and tripe noodle soup.
On a recent lunch visit, I enjoyed the beef pho, served in a bowl as big as my head, accompanied with a plate of mint, basil, cilantro and bean sprouts as toppings.
Hear live music by local musicians each week at Tempo, a new eatery at 16 Cathedral Place near Athena Café and across from the downtown Plaza.
Owned by Joseph Rosas and Gustavo Ramos, Tempo opened in January.
"The idea was to make a fusion of food and music," said Ramos, who also manages the restaurant.
"We wanted to create a menu around the music."
High school senior Devin Reardon, a St. Augustine resident, has studied musical theater at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts in Jacksonville (DA) for the past four years.
He attended Ketterlinus Elementary School and the St. Johns County Center for the Arts at Murray Middle School before auditioning for DA.
"I've been in about eight productions … with an equal balance of musicals and other types of plays," Reardon said of his experience at the arts school.
The Ancient City is among the top 20 spots for Best Historic City on the travel site 10Best, a division of USA Today Travel.
Online voting ends at noon April 28 at 10best.com/awards/travel/best-historic-city.
"Our historic streets are older than the fort and St. Augustine has the first street layout in the U.S.," said local historian Susan Parker.
"And the Plaza is the first oldest public space in the U.S."
Delbert McClinton did not perform on Saturday during the Rhythm & Ribs Festival at Francis Field. However, his band played on his behalf.
McClinton missed the event to be with his son, Clay McClinton, who sustained a head injury on March 21 during a vehicle accident.
A recording artist like his father, Clay canceled a performance on March 29 at the fourth Annual Outlaws & Legends Music Fest, an event in Abilene, Texas.
A post on March 30 on Clay McClinton's Facebook page indicated that he was still hospitalized but making progress.
Alternative rock band Sister Hazel formed in Gainesville in 1993 —combining elements of folk, classic and southern rock and pop for a signature sound.
One of their biggest hit songs is "All for You," released in 1997 on the album Somewhere More Familiar.
Although the band has toured the U.S. for about 20 years, the performance on Friday at the Rhythm & Ribs Festival is the group's first show in St. Augustine. Sister Hazel will be on stage from 8:30 to 10 p.m. April 4 at Francis Field, 29 W. Castillo Drive.

A team from Lesher Middle School in Fort Collins won Saturday's regional competition of the National Science Bowl, established by the U.S. Department of Energy in order to promote math and science to younger generations.
This year, teams from two middle schools in Greeley — University Schools and Franklin Middle School — as well as Windsor Middle School and Severance Middle School competed but did not finish among the top eight teams.
Students had to answer difficult math and science questions in a fast-paced question and answer format.
"It was a good learning experience and the kids had fun," said Christina Sutter, coach of the Severance team.
Ruth Brunner, coach of Windsor Middle School's team, felt much the same way.
"We were pleased. The teams who won just had more experience," Brunner said.
Eric Buxman, the coach of the University Schools team, added, "It was a great experience. The kids had a lot of fun and got to meet kids from other schools."
Karen Giesler, the coach of Franklin's teams, agreed.
"It was really fun and really well organized," Giesler said. "Our kids were a bit nervous because it was their first time there but they had a really good time."
Weld County teams didn't win but they didn't leave empty handed either. Certificates, shirts and water bottles are given out to all competitors.
The coaches consider this year's competition a learning experience.
"We have a better understanding of how to prepare for next year," Sutter said. "I definitely want to do this again and all the kids have said that they want to do it again, too."
Brunner added, "We definitely want to do this again and we are planning to combine it with the Brain Bowl next year so we can maximize the amount of practice the teams get."
Added Buxman, "I hope to do this again. If kids are interested we will do it again."
It won't be the same kids at University Schools next year, though. Buxman's team consisted of all eighth graders who will have moved on to high school next year.
"The seventh graders want to enter again next year," said Giesler, "and some of the eighth graders, who will be in ninth grade by then, want to come back and help coach."
The Lesher Middle School team advanced to the national competition, which is to be held in Washington D.C. in April.

Living in the "fine world" Rant.
Jesus Christ, somebody call the WAH-mbulance. I disagree with PP; No your feelings are not valid, they are irrational. Its like you decided you want to be miserable and went to find information to validate it. You're so full of "no's" its ridiculous. You don't want solutions. You want to justify your problems. So go ahead. Enjoy. I don't feel bad for you one bit.
Mama to Isaac Zakai (8/07) and Aaron Cyrus (7/11)
I love my kids. I really do. But I didn't sign on to be a prisoner in a lonely world. The "EVERYTHING IS FINE FOR YOUR BENEFIT WORLD IS KILLING MY SOUL."
Are you depressed? The way you express yourself gives me that impression. OP you do have a choice, but you choose not to.
Grab your kids( if they are young) put them in a stroller take then out for a walk. Admire your outdoor surroundings. Find the beauty in something as simple as the sky, flowers , nature. Perhaps you can point out different type of birds to your kids. Let cool fresh air, hit you on the face.
*Plus you can always join "Adult" conversations here on baby center. Have you browsed different boards??? I'm sure you'll fine some that will suit you...*

Are you facing troubles in your marriage? Like maybe it bothers you that your husband has "co workers over late at night?
Why are people over your house late at night???? Why doesn't your husband dedicate that time to you. I'm assuming your husband is focusing to much "energy" and "attention" to his friends. And not enough to you.

Where we live day care is not an opinion. there is a shortage of day cares and less then full time is not available.I have looked into mom groups there are no open groups. As for stuff to do you have to drive two hours to do anything other then shop or go to a movie.
if we had a car driving would not be a problem. but when you don't and can't drive traveling 2 hours once or twice a month is not an opinion. If i wanted to waste hundreds of dollars a month on day care that is not need then I would but I don't. I dislike video games by the way.

the park is the fair grounds and the kids activites are for school age children only. The "park is limited when open to public" Can not take LO to rec center not allowed in any area other then pool when open.
there is no set day care at the rec center. Besides with my pain condition more then normal day to day activity is near impossible if I want to be able to move.
what there website says in different then what happens. yes they have a young one room. It is only staffed once a day for specific classes. They limit the number of people that do the events their. We are not members so we are not allowed to take part in certain programs.
all your comments that are stop being a victim are why I do not share my feelings. I am stopping this post. I can not handle my feelings being judged by everyone. my feelings are valid and have merrit. I'm sorry if you can not understand these feelings.
Disagreement =/= Disrespect. There is a difference.
Our Story Began 2002. Added ODS 11/2003, YDS 11/2011, DD 10/13.
No one said that your feelings aren't valid, ok well one person did. But the point that everyone else has been saying is that YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN CHANGE YOUR SITUATION.
I mean what do you expect us to do. We have given so many options and ideas, but you shoot them all down. Your DH can't change the fact that he's got to work those hours.
You are the only one with options in this situation.
Either get off your ass and do something about it, or stop bitching.

I think you're lazy on top of being depressed. Lethal combination where your social life is concerned. If I had no life outside of my kids, I would have already went postal. For real. Yeah, folks love their kids. But damnit, life doesn't stop because you have them and they are not the only beings in this world that I care about. I also care about me. Healthy mama, healthy baby. You owe it to those kids to take care of yourself. Right now you're failing. Your concerns and complaints are very valid, but like pp's said, YOU can help YOU. It sounds like a you problem but also like a DUH problem. People at the house late? Often? Sounds like you're missing that connection with him. You're drowning and he's busy working so he hasn't noticed.
I'm not so willing to let him off the hook cause he works hard. We all work hard. At everything we do. Raising a family includes loving your spouse and beig in tune with them. Sounds like he isn't. If I can work hard long hours (often out of town), raise two small children and make time for my husband, then why can't he? We don't live to work. We work to LIVE.
i have no solution I am dependant on him financially. I would love to up and leave but that is just not possible. i am trapped with no way out. If I didn't have kids I would thumb it back home. I'm really at the end of my rope. I don't know what comes next for me. My family can't help they are back home.

An atheist has lost his final battle over an 11-story cross in Southern Illinois.
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected Robert Sherman's case against a $20,000 state grant used to renovate the Bald Knob Cross of Peace Southeast of St. Louis.
Sherman first sued in August 2010. He argued that efforts to repair the cross using state money have "the primary effect of advancing a particular religious sect, namely Christianity."
Lower courts ruled Sherman lacked standing to sue the state. Sherman called the Supreme Court's ruling a "joke."
The court's "refusal to take my case means that any legislative [body], whether it be Congress, a state legislature or a municipal board, can make blatantly unconstitutional grants to advance religion simply by naming an executive branch agency as a middleman in the transaction," he charged.
D.W. Presley, president of the cross's board of directors, was pleased with the decision.
"In the grand scheme of things, while this is sensational news, this was just a small portion of what we've had going on in the last three years," Presley said. "The more important story is seeing the cross restored."
"[Sherman] used the legal process to the fullest extent, and there's nothing wrong with that," he added. "We're just glad it's over and behind us."

There were superheroes everywhere at Jim Bradley Field for the 45th Annual Relay for Life Walk on Friday, April 25 and not all of them wore a mask and cape.
The heroes were those that have gone toe to toe with cancer and all were honored during the walk, both those who survived and the memory of those who passed on.
Moncks Corner Relay for Life consistently ranks as one of the top fundraisers in South Carolina, according to Relay for Life coordinator Georgie Ford.
We may be smaller than other Relay for Life teams but we do things in a big way in Moncks Corner, she said. We consistently are in the top three in raising money every year.
Last year more than 50 teams raised over $200,000 in the fight against cancer.
Our goal in 2014 is to raise more than $215,000, Ford said. We wont know our final totals for another week or so.
This year, 28 participating teams, which include 142 participants, filled the football field at Gerald Moody Field.
On Saturday May 3, the Relay for Life celebration continues with the Lower Berkely Relay for Life Beauty Pageant at the Marguerite H. Brown Municipal Center on Highway 52 in Goose Creek.
Age groups include Baby Miss 0-11 months, Teeny Miss 12-23 months, Wee Miss 2 years, Tiny Miss 3-4, Little Miss 5-6, Young Miss 7-9, Junior Miss 1012, Teen Miss 13-15, and Miss 1619; for boys,
Little Master 0-36 months and Master 36 years.
Contestants will be judged on poise, appearance, stage personality, and overall impression.

To help you plan your day, and know just how serious the heat from one day to the next really is, we're working on a heat scale to help with that... much like the severe weather scale we launched in the Spring. This is the demo graphic I built today, still working out the details. But, it's fairly easy to understand. The scale is 1 out of 5... 5 being the most dangerous heat. On Wednesday we're expecting a 3 on the scale, meaning the heat indicies (what it feels like) should be between 95° and 105° during peak heating. Stay hydrated, stay happy folks!
What's the heat scale?

5 Print & Poster Shops from Down South
Anderson Design Group - Graphic designer, Joel Anderson, and his team of artists have spent a lot of time designing prints that celebrate his hometown of Nashville. Eventually he decided to branch out to explore the rest of the USA, this time creating a collection called the Art & Soul of America. Over 50 nostalgically illustrated prints represent the collection, from National Parks to iconic American cities, all printed and produced in Nashville. 2. Hatch Show Print - Also from Nashville, I don't think you can mention Southern, music and art prints without talking about Hatch Show. Hatch Show Print is one of America's oldest working letterpress shops and you've probably seen their vibrant colorful posters without even realizing it. Dating back to the 1950's, Hatch Show's biggest clients were Grand Ole Opry performers such as Johnny Cash. They continue to create new posters for current artists like Neil Young and Avett Brothers along with quirky prints celebrating terriers or the famous Hatch Show resident cats. Now part of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, I was fortunate enough to get a tour of their shop when I was in town last year. If you like art or music, no trip to Nashville would be complete without paying them a visit! 3. Hammerpress - Hammerpress is another letterpress shop, but this one is located in Kansas City, Missouri. They make greeting cards, posters, art prints, t-shirts and other paper goods most recognizable by their bold typography. 4. Rebekka Seale - I probably shouldn't have included her in this list if I ever hope to have her do a custom portrait of my house (she's currently booked through March), but her work is just too dear not to mention. Rebekka, originally from the Alabama coast and now residing in Nashville, works creating hand-painted watercolor and gouache paintings, illustrations, and prints. My favorite from her catalog of work would definitely have to be her custom-illustrated house portraits. 5. Methane Studios - A partnership based out of Atlanta, Methane Studios got its start by producing silk screen posters for an East Atlanta club. While these two designers use the computer to produce their art, they never want their posters to "look" computerized and their goal is to always use it to tell a story or convey a message, often with a sense of humor.

Matt D'Arrigo '95 to speak at Spring Hill College commencement
Matt D'Arrigo, founder and CEO of San Diego-based ARTS (A Reason to Survive), will be the keynote speaker at Spring Hill College's commencement ceremony, set for 10 a.m. Saturday, May 10 on the Avenue of the Oaks.
D'Arrigo is also the recipient of this year's Ignatian Award, presented to an alumnus in recognition of community service in keeping with the ideals set forth by St. Ignatius Loyola. The Ignatian Award is the highest honor the College bestows upon its alumni. D'Arrigo will receive the award at commencement.
A 1995 Spring Hill graduate, D'Arrigo founded the organization in 2001 out of his garage as an outreach effort to bring therapeutic arts projects to children and families at San Diego Ronald McDonald House and Rady's Children's Hospital.
ARTS has grown into a nationally recognized full service arts agency for youth offering visual, performing, media, literary and industrial arts in a long-term, sequential program model based on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: therapeutic arts programs, arts education, and college and career preparation. It's a one-stop shop using the arts and creativity to bring kids from crisis to college or career, not only giving them A Reason To Survive but also A Reason To Succeed. ARTS continues their outreach programs to hospitals, shelters, group homes, and schools, and has added a 20,000-square-foot ARTS Center, Transportation Service (Van Go!), ARTS Enterprises, and Community Beautification Projects.
Through all of their programs and services, ARTS works directly with more than 2,500 children and youth annually facing terminal & chronic illness, homelessness, abuse, foster care, physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral challenges, socio-economic challenges and many other life challenges.
In the past year ARTS has been in the national spotlight when a documentary on one of their students, "Inocente," won the 2013 Academy Award for "Best Documentary: Short Subject." They were also a case study in the New York Times best selling book "Decisive" by Chip and Dan Heath and featured on The Today Show.
For more information about ARTS, visit www.areasontosurvive.org.

LIBERTY - A disgusted Britany Newell watched from her home along Naylor Lloyd Road last month as a blaze slowly grew out of control at a vacant structure on the property of the former Barclay Apartments.
The 32-unit apartment building was the fourth structure on the property to be destroyed by fire at the site since 2011.
Now, just one large structure remains standing on the vacant lot.
"It's disgusting," Newell said during an interview Tuesday afternoon. "It's an eyesore. They need to just flatten it out."
That sentiment is beginning to resonate among township officials as trustees passed a resolution in early July to put the structures out to bid for demolition and asbestos removal.
Trustee Jodi Stoyak said she has been trying to get the buildings razed for months, but the funding was never there to do the project.
"I personally have tried to obtain these funds for probably eight months," Stoyak said.
According to the resolution, grant funds will be obtained from the Trumbull County Land Bank for the asbestos removal and demolition as part of the Ohio Attorney General's $75 million program to reduce blight statewide.
Stoyak estimates the asbestos removal alone would cost around $80,000. After the asbestos is removed, the fire department will likely use a training burn to keep costs down, but Stoyak said the project is still in its early phases.
For neighbors, the demolition can't come fast enough. With four of the buildings already destroyed by fires, most believe it is inevitable the remaining structure will have the same fate if left too long.
"That last one will probably go up at any time," Bobbie Meyle said. "It doesn't look healthy over there at all."
In addition to health concerns, criminal activity is rampant on the property, Meyle said.
"I've called the cops a couple times for stuff going on over there just in the last week," Meyle said.
Newell has also notified Liberty police about disturbances on the property since the last fire in early July.
"People are going over there and taking scraps," Newell said. "They have us up all night by going over there and taking stuff, making the dogs bark.
"They can either turn it into a parking lot or whoever is going to buy it, just do what they have to do," she continued. "If they would just tear it down, there would be a lot less headaches."
Officials declined to commit to a timetable for demolition at this stage of the process, but did indicate the razing has become a priority.
