Recalling how Hurricane Sandy spewed sewage out of manholes and spilled it into New Jersey's waterways last fall, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced today it has earmarked $229 million for the Garden State to fortify water and sewage treatment plants that were damaged by the storm.
The funding is part of $569 million earmarked for New Jersey and New York, which comes from the nearly $60 billion in Sandy relief funds that were allocated by federal lawmakers in January, EPA officials said during a conference call yesterday.
"We need to do much more to build resiliency," said Judith Enck, administrator for the EPA's Region 2, which covers New Jersey and New York.
EPA officials said Sandy spilled 11 billion gallons of sewage out of treatment plants from Washington, D.C., to Connecticut. In New Jersey, 94 wastewater treatment plants reported Sandy-related problems, and more than 400 water systems were damaged or lost power, according to the state Department of Environmental Protection.
As further evidence of the need, Enck pointed to the devastation seen by the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission, whose Sandy-crippled plant in Newark sent billions of gallons of sewage and sludge into the Newark Bay in the weeks after the hurricane.
Repairs are still ongoing at the plant, which serves nearly 2 million customers in 48 municipalities.
Michael DeFrancisci, the commission's executive director, called the EPA's announcement "encouraging news" and recognition of how badly the damaged facilities need additional funds.
Sandy also clobbered pumping stations owned by the Middlesex County Utilities Authority, which is nearing the end of emergency repairs to two pumping stations.
The authority could build berms or other anti-flood barriers around its facilities, but may ultimately have to raise its decades-old pumping stations about 20 feet, said Richard Fitamant, the authority's executive director.
"It's an option we're exploring," Fitamant said.
The parameters for receiving the funds were still largely undefined yesterday afternoon. New Jersey officials have been charged with deciding which projects in the Garden State will be funded, but the process is still being developed, said Larry Hajna, DEP spokesman.
The EPA said up to 30 percent of the money could be awarded to local communities as grants, with the rest given out at low- or no-interest loans.
As of now, a project vying for the money must have been affected by Hurricane Sandy, and it must propose fixes that would allow it to withstand future disasters. That includes upgrades such as submersible pumps, backup power sources and barriers to prevent flooding, Enck said.
Municipalities are also encouraged to use the funding on storm-water collection projects that incorporate natural features.
Several environmentalists said the funding didn't go far enough. The Union of Concerned Scientists called it nothing more than a "Band-Aid" to an even greater problem.
"The federal government needs a nationwide plan to provide funds to all coastal communities, not just the ones hit hard by Sandy, to adapt to the changes global warming is bringing," said Angela Anderson, a director with the group.
Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club, praised the funding, but said New Jersey officials need to "step up" and do more to preserve wetlands and improve water and sewer infrastructure.
"We're far behind," he said. "We now have an opportunity to correct the mistakes of the past."

HIS OLDER BROTHER CALLED HIM "UGLY," says David Duchovny, 35, who plays the intriguingly buttoned-down Fox Mulder on The X-Files. "Soon that caught on with his friends, along with names like Big Nose and Big Lips." Duchovny is still self-conscious about his nose—and the rest of his face, for that matter. He describes it as "at war with itself," a condition he attributes to the "mongrel vigor" he inherited from his Russian father and Scottish mother. But these days, Duchovny is the only one griping about his looks. His X-Files fans—the David Duchovny Estrogen Brigade on the Internet—still recall his all-too-brief appearance last season in a skimpy Speedo. That sneak peek at his lean limbs was a bonus for those who had already fallen for his crooked smile and ironic wit. "The sexy thing about David is his mind," says actress Bonnie Hunt, a friend of the Princeton grad since they both appeared in 1989's Beethoven. "But if he fell on his head tomorrow and lost his memory, he'd still be a pretty sexy guy." Casting director Johanna Ray, who hired Duchovny to play a transvestite cop in 1990's Twin Peaks, calls him "the sort of man you can rely on." Rely on him to downplay the hype. His grooming routine? Flossing. As he explains, "You don't want to be caught by the paparazzi with spinach in your teeth."

2nd Quarter 2011 Commentary - ASTON/Harrison Street Real Estate Fund
2nd Quarter 2011 Commentary
The Fund outperformed its benchmark the MSCI US REIT Index over the quarter. Both sector allocation and stock selection contributed positively to the outperformance. The main contributor to the excess return was stock selection within the Office sector followed by our overweight position in Malls. Within the former sector, Boston Properties rose strongly over the period as did Douglas Emmett. Stock picks among Shopping Centers and Multifamily companies also benefited relative performance as did our underweight to Lodging. While our underweight to the Health Care sector was positive, our stock selection within it detracted from relative returns, with Brookdale Senior Living in particular falling over the quarter.
Portfolio Highlights
Portfolio activity was relatively light in the second quarter. We sold down our stake in the US industrial REIT, Prologis, which merged with fellow industrial AMB Property Corp., as well as our holding in the office REIT, Liberty Property Trust.
At the end of the quarter, the Fund was slightly overweight in Office/Industrial and modestly overweight in Malls and Shopping Centers, and Self Storage. In the Apartments sector the Fund was overweight apartments. The Fund reduced its exposure to Canada. Although macroeconomic and operating fundamentals remain healthy, modest earnings growth prospects combined with current valuation levels, have lessened its attractiveness vs. the US. The Fund remains underweight in Healthcare.
The increased attendance at NAREIT's Investor Forum in June 2011 indicated an increased optimism in the real estate investment market. A common theme in the industry right now is the concept of moving from recession to recovery to growth. Although it is too early to label the current environment a full-on "growth phase", it is believed to be getting closer. One surprise in the market so far this year has been the relative lack of initial public offerings (IPOs) in the REIT space, although existing REITs increasingly have "at the market" (ATM) programs in place. We have however seen significant multiple expansion in the REIT space, while we have not really seen the earnings growth that the market would like to see. That is all connected back to seeing some better broad economic indicators.
Overall, we believe we will see positive total return on REITs over the next 6-12 months given modest fundamental improvements and the significant levels of equity and debt chasing the REIT space.

A panel of regional planners has approved the state highway department's proposal to cut most of the trees in the Interstate 26 median from Summerville to I-95.
On Wednesday, a committee of the Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments voted 4-2 to recommend approval of the $5 million project that critics said is too much like the state Department of Transportation's original plan to clear-cut all the trees.
The new proposal is to cut down trees in the median for 23 miles of the 30-mile stretch of interstate. Seven miles of median with wetlands and trees would not be affected, said Tony Sheppard, DOT director of traffic engineering.
In the cleared areas of interstate, cable guardrail will be placed down the middle of the median. In the wetlands areas where trees will stay, guardrail will be placed on both sides of the median, Sheppard said.
The seven miles of wetland areas in the median where trees will remain are scattered along the length of the project, he said.
A public hearing on the proposal will be held in January before the measure goes to the full COG board for consideration; a favorable vote is necessary for the project to proceed. The DOT would like to be able to move forward with the 18-month federally funded effort this year, Sheppard said.
The DOT presented four options to the COG committee - leave all the trees, remove trees in the highest-fatality areas, cut down all the trees and the plan recommended for approval on Wednesday, officials said.
State Rep. Edward Southard, R-Moncks Corner, voted against the proposal to take out most of the trees because he does not buy the DOT argument that the work is necessary to improve safety. Southard said he thinks fatalities on the stretch of I-26 are a traffic-enforcement issue related to speeding, drinking and texting.
"I think it's a knee-jerk reaction," he said. "I haven't seen yet where a tree jumped out of the median and hit somebody."
According to highway data, interstates are safer than some state highways, he said, citing accident data for S.C. Highways 402 and 41, which he said are more dangerous than I-26.
"Basically, they're going to clear-cut everything," said Dorchester County Councilman Larry Hargett, who cast the other vote against the DOT proposal Wednesday.
Hargett said he favored cutting trees in the high-fatality areas, which would have meant about 40 percent of the trees would be removed.
North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey, who voted for the DOT proposal, said the number of accidents and deaths on the stretch of I-26 is far greater than on interstates in other parts of the state.
Accidents will happen regardless of the presence of trees in the median, he said, but it makes sense to take measures that will make the road safer.
Eventually that stretch of interstate will be widened into the median and the trees will need to be removed anyway, Summey said. The trees are not grand oaks but instead scrub pines and undergrowth, he said.
"My main concern is the potential of losing life," he said.
Summerville Mayor Bill Collins, who also voted for the DOT plan, noted that the trees were not planted but have grown up wild in the interstate median. He agreed that they are scrub pines.
"I see it as a safety issue as well," he said.
Collins said the affected area of the interstate has a 20 percent higher mortality rate than the rest of the highway, and that is tied to the trees, the narrow median shoulder and the slope of roadside embankments. The I-26 project will address all those issues.
The fate of the trees has been a hot-button issue that last summer drew a round of critics who protested the plan presented by the DOT to clear-cut all the trees.
In July, the trees got a reprieve after regional leaders serving on the COG agreed to consider other options.
At that time, Hargett, then COG chairman, formed the ad hoc committee that met with representatives from the DOT to analyze the issue.
COG is weighing in on the controversial plan because a state budget proviso gave it the right to veto the DOT's plan. State Sen. Larry Grooms, R-Bonneau, has said he worked to get extra review of the DOT's plans inserted into the state budget after he had trouble getting his questions answered.
About 32,500 vehicles travel the affected stretch of I-26 daily. Between 2007 and 2011, 44 people were killed and 709 were injured in 1,934 crashes there.
"It's about reducing the fatalities in that section," Sheppard said.
Half the wrecks involved cars running off the road. Fatalities happened at a rate three-to-four times higher in the median, he said.
When the trees are cut down, the zone where drivers can recover from running off the road will grow from 25 feet wide to 46 feet wide on both sides of the interstate median, the DOT has said.

The Jakarta Post
Depok Police officially stopped on Wednesday a campaign violation case, which allegedly involved Bogor Regent Rachmat Yasin.
At an event at Bilabong square in Bojonggede, Bogor, chief investigator Comr. Ronald Purba said that there was no evidence that supported the allegation that the regent had become a campaigner for West Java gubernatorial candidate Ahmad Heryawan and running mate Deddy Mizwar.
"There is video footage we can use as evidence of the regent's active participation in the campaign. However, there is no proof that he was there with an entourage of administration staff as well as carrying or wearing campaign attributes during the event," he told reporters.
The area where the campaign event was held is within the jurisdiction of the Depok Police. The pair, backed by the coalition of Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) and the United Development Party (PPP) won the election and the defeated parties reported the case to the police. The police named Rachmat, head of West Java's branch of PPP, a suspect for campaign violations in March 13.

Wadia's 171iTransport
Wadia's new 171iTransport digital iPod dock ($599) is now also compatible with Apple's iPad. Other changes include an improved circuit board, new clock chip, higher grade connectors, and a better internal power supply. The remote control has also been redesigned for better ease of use.
We listened to the 171iTransport connected to an iPad in a system with Wadia's 151PowerDac mini ($1195), Wadia's 121 Decoding Computer (around $1500), a pretty little pair of Dynaudio's outstanding Excite X12 loudspeakers (a steal at $1200/pair), and Argentum Acoustics cables, and the sound was sweet and involving.
The Wadia 171iTransport will be shipping to dealers this week.

Yes, solar has come a long way over the last few years. Growth in 2012 blew away many expectations in the United States. As far as renewable energy growth is concerned, the adoption of solar has really stolen most of the headlines. However, investors looking to add renewable energy to their portfolio should also give some consideration to geothermal energy.
Several companies from both sectors reported quarterly earnings recently, and the results caught many by surprise. Ormat Technologies (NYSE: ORA ) blew away 2012 results in the geothermal side of things, whereas the solar market saw mixed reviews about the second quarter from some of the larger players in the U.S. market. Tune in below for more details.
Becoming more reliant on renewable energy is certainly great for our national security. It could also be a harbinger for lower oil prices. Unfortunately, that could take a while, so you, as an investor, would be wise to consider traditional energy stocks for your portfolio.

What is in this article?:
- Carolina grower believes in Extension, research
- Ask someone who knows
• Farming is really not backbreaking work, but it's hard in the sense that you have to juggle so many things.
• Inefficient farmers who haven't been onboard with the 21st century farming practices haven't lasted.

Ask someone who knows
Taking the attitude that when you don't know something, it's best to ask someone who does, he quickly came to rely on Cooperative Extension for recommendations ranging from marketing and budgeting to production.
"The folks in Extension are very smart and competent in solving the multitude of problems we encounter on a daily basis," he said. "They are excellent, excellent sources of information. World-class."
To explain what he means, Perry cited efforts to help farmers deal with what's often been called a "monster" weed — glyphosate-, or Roundup-, resistant Palmer amaranth. The weed spreads quickly and can take over a field in short order.
North Carolina State University Extension specialists, as well as county agents, have done a good job, Perry said, in helping farmers keep the weed out of their fields.
They've recommended that farmers carefully time herbicide applications and use herbicides with different modes of action. Extension also emphasizes the importance of detecting the emergence of any Palmer amaranth early and carefully removing and destroying the weed.
Managing weeds is just one of the challenges that farmers face when it comes to maximizing their yields and, thus, their profits, Perry said.
"Farming is really not backbreaking work, but it's hard in the sense that you have to juggle so many things. Inefficient farmers who haven't been onboard with the 21st century farming practices haven't lasted," he said.
"You have to be a marketer. You've got to be a finance guy. You've got to be a business guy. You've got to be a mechanic. A diagnoser of problems. A personnel manager. Plus you are growing a garden. So it's challenging.
"You have to be on top of your game to do it well, and Extension and research are vitally important in helping us do that," he said. "They help us be efficient, more profitable. In the end, they help keep us in business."

Caring for animals helps youngsters
Caring for an animal could help young people to achieve a boost to their wellbeing, as well as strengthening their relationships with others in their communities. This is according to a new study at Tufts University, which polled more than 500 18 to 26-year-olds about their attitudes towards and interaction with animals.
The researchers also cross-referenced these answers with measures on caring, confidence, character, levels of depression and other youth development characteristics.
It was found that those responsible for a pet were more likely to engage in contribution activities than participants who were not. Furthermore, being attached to an animal in late adolescence and young adulthood was associated with more confidence and higher levels of empathy.
Writing in the journal Applied Developmental Science, lead author Megan Mueller said it may be the quality of the relationship with the animals that is significant as opposed to the simple presence.
"We can't draw causal links with this study but it is a promising starting point to better understanding the role of animals in our lives, especially when we are young," she added.
Dr Kate Sparks, a Chartered Psychologist, comments:
"The findings could also be explained by the effects of oxytocin - chemical released in body, with one of it's functions to increase bonding (released at time of birth to help bonding of mother with baby, for example). Oxytocin is released when we touch or stroke, for example, when relating with our pets. Hence, the bonding connection (with increased oxytocin) that the young people feel with their pets may help their confidence and relationships with other people.
The responsibility of looking after someone - pet or human - can often increase our confidence and empathy as we get direct feedback on how our actions can impact on another. There is also evidence that caring or being responsible for another when growing up - a sibling or pet - can help us cope better under pressure, being emotionally stronger as we have another life to be responsible for too.
Research on child abuse indicates that an older sibling may cope better as they have to be strong to look after the younger sibling who may also be experiencing the abuse. I have also found this link with pets too, in cases of child abuse where the pet has enabled the child to cope better with the stressful situation, both from obtaining comfort from the pet but also feeling responsible for the pet.

CHS class of 1958
On Saturday evening of June 28, the Crowley High School Class of 1958 held its 50th year reunion at the Town Club. Over 50 percent of the remaining class members attended. Earlier in the day a sizable group attended a brunch at a local restaurant, followed by a tour of the Crowley City Hall and the Grand Opera House.
In the main room of the Town Club, large tables were decorated with green and gold centerpieces, miniature top hats, canes, scarves and a placard bearing the school emblem. A large poster containing the yearbook photographs of the students and faculty members was displayed for viewing. On the reception table was a pictorial memorial to deceased classmates.
A short program was conducted by Carl Brazell, class president. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited followed by a moment of silence in memory of deceased faculty and classmates. Loretta Jackson, who furnished a beautiful floral bouquet for the main table, read an inspiring poem she had composed. The program ended with a prayer given by the Reverend Charlie Freeland, followed by the singing of the Crowley High School Alma Mater expertly led by Suzanne Firmin on the keyboard.
Charlotte Hamic received a "medal of distinction" for her work on the class scrapbook. Charles King received a gift for coordinating the reunion. Geraldine Guillot won a prize for having the most grandchildren. Lloyd Stoessel won prizes for traveling the farthest distance to attend, for having the youngest child and for being the most active person on the dance floor.
The night's entertainment was provided by recording artist Terry Rue, accompanied by Russell Meche on the guitar. Recorded "Oldies" music was also played from the stage for listening and dancing.
Guests were treated to a variety of refreshments prepared and served by the Town Club staff. A special reunion cake was enjoyed by all.
They came early, stayed late, danced a little, smiled a lot and ate heartily.
Reunion committee members included Shelby Arnaud, Sylvia Bigelow, Charlotte Hamic, Charles King, Freda Leleux, Russell Meche, Johnny Sarver, Carolyn Spell and Betty Vallot. Barbara Vallot was also recognized for helping with the reunion decorations.

JERUSALEM - Palestinian officials reacted furiously on Saturday to Newt Gingrich's assertion that they are an "invented people," accusing the Republican presidential candidate of incitement and staging a "cheap stunt" to court the Jewish vote.
Gingrich's remarks struck at the heart of Palestinian sensitivities about the righteousness of their struggle for an independent state and put him at odds not only with the international community but with all but an extremist fringe in Israel. Mainstream Israelis, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, support the idea of an independent Palestine alongside Israel as part of a final peace agreement.

Book cover picture of D'Aulaire, Ingri and Edgar Parin. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, (c 1939.)
Early printing. Caldecott Award winning book, primarily focusing on the young Abe but continuing through the end of the Civil War, and with the beautiful glowing illustrations typical of the d'Aulaires - lithographed on stone in 5 colors by the artists. The d'Aulaires returned to the old craftsman's method of drawing with color directly on stone which results in the glowing color illustrations that are a highlight of their books. Large format, bound in illustrated boards, with a black cloth spine, and with illustrated endpapers. Very good condition overall - some loss to the black cloth spine at both ends - but otherwise a clean and attactive copy, lacking the dust jacket. .

So she was forced to abandon him. I heard him meowing and took him inside. And ever since then, he has been a people loving cat!!! He then faced another life threatening catastrophe when a dog attacked him... He was not moving and I was terrified he was dead. But he meowed at me and I took him inside. He had no injury at all and I honestly believe he just wanted to come inside and be babied.

Strider of the Year 2014
Zoe, Strider of the Year 2014
Zoe started riding with LifeStriders in 2010 and in this last year we have watched Zoe take some very huge strides towards her goals. At the beginning of the year she was only able to take a few steps at a time on the horse while riding and now she steers Almar around the arena all by herself. Her new found confidence never seems to fail when she faces a challenge, such as moving from a saddle to a bareback pad. We have tested her strength by giving her tasks such as sac-of-potatoes or around the world, and she is able to accomplish anything we threw at her. Zoe, we hope you are as proud of yourself as we all are! Congratulations!!
Volunteer of the Year 2014
Hristiyan Murphy, Volunteer of the year 2014
How can we put into words all of our appreciation for our volunteer of the year. Hristiyan, a.k.a. "H", volunteers his time at LifeStriders at least 3 days a week which has allowed him to build a strong connection with his riders that is heartwarming to watch. H also has an unyielding dedication to the program in all areas that continues to amaze us week after week. We are all honored to have the opportunity to work alongside this AMAZING volunteer that strives to become a better man every day.

GOSHEN TOWNSHIP- Motorists on state routes 165 and 14 in Goshen Township will see delays in travel this summer.
Township Trustee Chair Bob McCracken reported at the trustees' regular board meeting Monday night that the Ohio Department of Transportation will be working on state routes this summer.
According to the ODOT Public Information Office, the department will be resurfacing state Route 165 between state Route 14 and state Route 46 in Beaver Township beginning May 7, and state Route 14 between the four-lane U.S. Route 62 freeway to the Mahoning County border beginning April 25. State Route 165 between state Route 45 and Goshen Road will be closed for approximately 30 days beginning May 1 for bridge replacement. A minimum of one lane will remain open at all other times.
McCracken said the department will be grinding off half an inch of asphalt and then laying a half inch of pavement on top.
The projects are part of an overall $2.8 million resurfacing project that includes state Route 164 between state Route 7 and the Mahoning County border beginning April 22. State Route 165 is currently closed just east of U.S. Route 62 in Green Township for bridge replacement.
All dates are tentative and the project is scheduled to be completed by the end of September.

The route between Letaba Camp and the Mozambique border post of Giriyondo includes the main Mopani Camp road (H1-6) and the Giriyondo Road (H15).
Allow about an hour-and-a-half to get from Letaba Rest Camp to the Giriyondo Border Post, the southernmost access point from South Africa into the Limpopo National Park. The Giriyondo Road (H15) follows the mopane scrubveld over the Makhadzi watercourse and through the flatlands to a gap in the Lebombo that marks the border with Mozambique.
This road was first developed in 1903 by what was then the Witwatersrand Native Labour Association to facilitate the recruitment of Shangaans from central Mozambique for the gold mines of Johannesburg. In those days, labour recruitment was a profitable business that the authorities tried to regulate, with varying degrees of success.
The WNLA had a series of rough-and-ready overnight camps every 25km between Massingir in Mozambique and Gravelotte, which is just outside the Park north of Phalaborwa Gate. From there, the recruits were sent by rail to the Johannesburg goldfields where they worked underground mining the metal that has made Gauteng Africa's richest commercial hub. There is a tradition among returning Mozambican mineworkers to this day that when they hear the "bird of the lowveld" - the three-streaked tchagra - they know they are halfway home.
Even if one is not going to Mozambique, it is worth doing the 9-km trip along the H15 to Makhadzi Picnic Site where a small interpretation centre was built in 2003. Makhadzi has extensive kitchen, cleaning and ablution facilities, which makes it a good stop-off for anyone returning from Massingir Dam. Firewood, charcoal and cold drinks are on sale as well as some rather desperate-looking ornaments made out of tin cans and mopane leaves.
The picnic site is just beyond the Makhadzi River crossing where elephants often gather. Not far from the road along the stream is the site of a northern outpost used by Steinacker's Horse during the Anglo-Boer War. The remains of the camp were discovered during a field survey by rangers in 1996.
Archaeologists began excavating the site in 1997 and many of the artifacts they recovered are housed in the Makhadzi interpretation centre, which also details the development of the Transfrontier Park and the ethnography of the area.
There are a lot of road humps between Makhadzi and the Giriyondo Border Post. What little game there is along this road is skittish, probably because of poaching in the past. The road passes through a gap in the Lebombo at Mbhandweni Water Hole, a creek in the Makhadzi River guarded by a fine old fig tree.
Giriyondo Border Post is open in summer (1 October to 31 March) from 8am to 4pm and in winter (1 April to 30 September) from 8am to 3pm. Currently, only 4x4s are allowed across the border, and no vehicles that weigh over four tons. No commercial traffic is allowed through Giriyondo.
Border telephone number: (013) 753 5757.

Life's one lousy fairy tale, isn't it, Jen? You take a handsome lump of a guy named Ben Affleck, groom him to be the ideal Hollywood mate—a red-carpet Prince Charming—and no sooner is the wedding postponed than he morphs into a duke...of Hazzard. Outside Savannah, where the couple continued to hole up at Affleck's mansion last week, locals kept spotting a casually chic Jennifer Lopez, 34, running around with a goateed guy who looked like Goober Pyle: "He wore the exact same T-shirt every day," one observer says of the actor, 31. "J.Lo is not going to put up with that." Or is she? Lopez was sporting her engagement ring again on a Sept. 28 trip to Wal-Mart, where they splurged on a chain saw and shotgun shells. (Don't get too excited. "They ain't getting married for now," says a source close to Affleck.) Still, he's making some sort of declaration of independence. "He must have been living a big ol' pretense," says Leon Hall, formerly of E!'s Fashion Emergency. "She had a fine whip she was snapping: 'I'm looking Louis Vuitton, and you're going to too.' Now his clothes are big and baggy: 'I'm back to being me. I'm not going to be Mr. Lopez.'" Just don't expect J.Lo to dress up as Daisy Duke.

I had 2 of my 5 kids sick. I was in a hurry and needed my kids better. Sure enough the office was clean, staff so nice, my visit was extremely fast and friendly. The Doctor who took care of us really seemed to care. He made my kids feel like they were his only concern. HE WAS AWESOME! the ICING on the cake was that I could pick up my medicine there. Although I hope my other kids don't get sick, I take comfort to know that I will DEFINATLY be back to this Urgent Care. And only this one.
luckily I found this urgent care
by great find! , 02/03/2011
I am not from Arizona. My husband and I come here every winter. We use to go to a different care center but as we were stopping by Joannes fabrics we saw the Urgent Care signs. We didn't think much about it but that evening my cough seemed to be getting worse. We went into this Urgent Care where we felt we were given top notch service. The doctor gave me an xray of my chest in office. Turned out I had pnenomia. He showed me the xray, walked me through treatment, and I was able to get my prescription all right there. I saw the doctor within 15 minutes, I got my xray, and my prescription all at the same place. The doctor seemed to sincerely care about me. Most places in the area make you wait forever to be seen and then treat you like they don't have time to see you...but NOT at this Urgent care. This is the only care center we will go to again. This Urgent Care is a Gem. We will be back for sure.

Structure and Finances of U.S. Farms: Family Farm Report, 2007 Edition
Stay Connected
Economic Information Bulletin No. (EIB-24) 58 pp, June 2007
U.S. farms are diverse, ranging from small retirement and residential farms to enterprises with annual sales in the millions. Nevertheless, most U.S. farms—98 percent in 2004—are family farms. Even the largest farms tend to be family farms. Large-scale family farms and nonfamily farms account for 10 percent of U.S farms, but 75 percent of the value of production. In contrast, small family farms make up most of the U.S. farm count, produce a modest share of farm output, and receive substantial off-farm income. Many farm households have a large net worth, reflecting the land-intensive nature of farming.

Given the vast number of entertainment options in the city of Las Vegas, it is a true testament to quality that Las Vegas buffets continue to get so much attention. Las Vegas is a city full of world class food and buffets are a huge part of that. Likewise, Las Vegas buffet coupons have made these cuisine centers much more affordable for people visiting the city. The Las Vegas Strip was originally developed in 1941, and the Strip as we know it today was created by Bugsy Siegel in 1946. When he created the Flamingo Hotel and Casino, Siegel brought luxury to the desert and began the tradition of food, fun, and gambling.
A long and illustrious history
It is difficult to say exactly when Las Vegas buffets came about, given that the Strip has seen so much transition over the decades. Siegel's original hotel featured a buffet, and each property since has had its own version. Though he is credited with the original idea of putting a buffet in a Las Vegas hotel, it was famous developer Steve Wynn who took things to the next level. With his Mirage and Bellagio properties in the 1980s and 1990s, Wynn set the gold standard for Las Vegas buffets and made them what they are today. Wynn set the bar very high in those properties, forcing all surrounding properties to respond and update their buffet options.
Las Vegas buffet staples
When you use Las Vegas buffet coupons, you will have a chance to take advantage of a wide range of different atmospheres and different food choices. This is ultimately the staple of the Vegas food industry, as there are options for every different person who comes to the city. With that in mind, the following hotels are known to have the finest buffets on the Las Vegas Strip:
* Wynn Hotel and Casino
* MGM Grand
* The Las Vegas Hilton
* Bellagio
* Paris Hotel and Casino
Off of the Strip, the M Casino is known as one of the finest buffets in the entire city.
Bellagio and its unique approach
When most people think about Las Vegas buffet coupons, they want to get their hands on coupons for the Bellagio Buffet. It truly is the next level among buffet offerings, since it combines atmosphere with food quality. People typically pay $30 to $40 for a meal there without coupons, and most come away very satisfied with their experience. This is because Bellagio offers a huge selection of high-end food. It is most famous for its prime rib, but the seafood selections and American food choices are great, as well. The Bellagio offers more than 100 different desserts on a typical night, a fact that draws in plenty of visitors.
Paris and its "champagne brunch"
Those who have never studied Las Vegas and its buffets often miss out on one of the absolute treats of coming to the city. If you can find Las Vegas buffet coupons for the Paris Buffet and its champagne brunch, then this is an absolute must. The restaurant takes this time very seriously and puts out excellent choices for both breakfast and for a light lunch. When topped off with a nice glass of champagne, it is no wonder why people continue to hit the Paris for such a meal.
The "value" approach
Pretty much across the board, Las Vegas buffets are known for their creative marketing. Most have adopted the mantra that their particular buffet is a value play among all of the expensive choices in Vegas. One example of this is a deal currently offered by the MGM Grand. When visiting its Grand Buffet, visitors can purchase a 24-hour pass, giving them access to as many meals as they would like during that time frame. This deal costs just more than the regular price of dinner at the buffet, so it works out for someone who would like to eat there repeatedly. Other such deals exist with other hotels, as they all use their buffet as a way of offering a nice alternative for guests.
Current and famous deals
Buffets are often used as a part of a larger marketing strategy for the hotel itself. For the longest time, MGM Grand has offered up free buffet passes as a part of its "Summer Spectacular" marketing campaign. When individuals book rooms online through this deal, they are given a free buffet pass, often for two people. This can amount to a $60 value, which brings down the price of the room dramatically. Though other hotels give different names to their larger marketing campaigns, the general idea remains the same. They use the buffet and its low price to bring people in and keep them playing in the hotel.
Getting Las Vegas buffet coupons online
Hotels in Las Vegas are internet savvy, and it is no surprise that they have moved online with the majority of their primary marketing efforts. This means that finding Las Vegas buffet coupons online is easiest when you are working directly with the hotel itself. The best way to get these coupons and deals is by taking advantage of one of the deals mentioned above. During the down times of the year, hotels are forced to offer up deals to fill their rooms. If you are willing to wait for these times, you can take advantage of free buffet coupons just for booking a room.
Likewise, signing up for player's club memberships will often bring about Las Vegas Buffet coupons. Each hotels has a different program and you will have to sign up for each individually. The only exception is when signing up for a player's card with an MGM/Mirage property or a Harrah's property. Their programs cover all hotels owned by the parent company. The following is a listing of the different Las Vegas player's clubs that you can sign up for in order to get the best deals on buffets:
* Venetian and Palazzo's Club Grazie
* Wynn and Encore's Red Card
* MGM/Mirage Player's Club
* Harrah's Total Rewards Club
* Hilton Rewards Club
The offline ways to rack up Las Vegas buffet coupons
Almost more so than any other city on earth, Las Vegas provides its visitors with interesting ways to get deals. The most conventional way is to pick up one of the local coupon books, which are usually available for a dollar or two. These coupon books will feature a host of good deals, including free gambling credits and restaurant credits at the major hotels. For people who want to be a bit unconventional, you may want to use some active measures.
Playing table games at a hotel will give you the ability to bargain with the casino's management. At a typical casino, if you are playing $50 per hand or more for an extended period of time, you can simply request a free buffet pass. They will then give you free Las Vegas buffet coupons or they will give your name to the person in charge at the buffet. Likewise, those individuals who play poker often build up credits that can be used to pay for some or all of the price of a Las Vegas buffet.

Guatemala Community Health Work Project -- Stoves (130713GUWK)
Campaign Details
Project Description
This community health project work team will work alongside an indigenous community in the Alta Verapaz department of Guatemala, outside the city of Cobán. They will help build either improved ventilated cook stoves or improved latrines for the local families.
According to the Medical Teams International project proposal, "the main causes of morbidity in children 5 and under are respiratory infections (41% of death) and diarrhea (17% of deaths)." Only 45% of the families in the 22 communities in which Medical Teams International works have pit latrines. This means over half of the families practice open defecation near their homes, water sources, and in fields around the community. This unsanitary practice spreads disease via the transfer of particulate fecal matter to food by flies or to the mouth via hands. Improved pit latrines coupled with education have changed this behavior and improved the health of children in communities that have built the new latrines.
Additionally, many of these Guatemalan families still cook on open flames in their huts, which is a major contributor to respiratory infections in women and children. The improved stove will properly ventilate smoke out of the home and help prevent future respiratory problems. The stove also burns less wood at significantly hotter temperatures, preventing further deforestation in the region. Additionally, women spend less time scavenging and hauling wood. So far, these stoves have been wildly popular with the communities. The following link is a 16-minute video describing the full benefits of these stoves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_e0vOfjvH0.
For more photos and personal experiences of Medical Teams International work teams in Guatemala check out our Medical Teams International - Guatemala Facebook page.
Goal: Improve the physical, social, and spiritual health of the people in the municipality of San Juan Chamelco, Guatemala.
Objective 1: Reduce the incidence and improve case management of pneumonia in children under 2 years old.
Objective 2:Reduce the incidence and improve case management of childhood diarrhea in children under 2 years old.
Objective 3: Reduce stunting and underweight in children under 5 years old.
Objective 4:Improve health of pregnant women and mothers.
Greatest benefit this specific team will bring:
This team will work with the community of Santa Catalina, a remote community outside of Cobán, Guatemala, to build improved, ventilated latrines.
Challenges you expect they may encounter:
There will be all kinds of challenges, mental, physical and spiritual. The team, with the help of each member and the MTI staff in Guatemala, will help each other overcome any obstacles they may encounter.

Box Office & Membership FAQs
Q: How long does HIFF membership last?
A: HIFF membership lasts 365 days from the date of purchase.
Q: What is the difference between the HIFF Ohana membership packages this year?
A: The only real difference between the 3 different memberships is the number of discounted tickets you may purchase per screening.
Q: How many seats are held for Flash Pass Members?
A: Our large theaters are holding 90 seats while our smaller theaters are holding 45 seats. That means at any one time we have 180 seats held out of the 200 passes we are limiting sales to.
Q: What if I don't have time to get in line as I have a Flash Pass because my movie got out late.
A: As long as we are not at the pass holder limit and are done seating the pass holders in line you are more than welcome to enter the theater and have your pass validated.
Q: Why do I have to wait for the ticket holders to go in if I have a Flash Pass?
A: We hold a certain number of seats for Flash Pass holders to ensure all ticket holders have a seat. The door volunteer captain will know if we are going to have remaining seats available after the ticket holders are let in and can let you know how many seats are remaining in the theater.
Q: Last year I had free tickets included in my membership. Why not this year?
A: We have separated membership and tickets from each other to properly account for membership and ticket sales. If you look at the membership packages and tickets separately in all cases you are actually saving money by having this separation from the HIFF Ohana membership packages we offered last year. For example, most members had the individual membership that included 6 free tickets. This year that same package for an adult is $98 and for a senior it is $83 saving you money and not wasting unused tickets.
Q: If I buy a ticket package can I stand in the membership line?
A: No. The ticket packages were designed for non-members to be able to buy bulk tickets at a slight discount from the regular ticket price. These tickets are all General Admission line and don't qualify you to stand in the membership line.
Q: Is my Flash Pass or ticket package good for the fall festival if I buy it in spring?
A: No. All passes and ticket packages are only valid for the festival that you purchase them for.
Q: How do I purchase online? I don't see the membership price.
A: Discounts are applied upon check out, so you won't see the member price or ticket type until you check out. Please finish your order and on the check out screen you will see the discounted tickets and prices.
