OSHTEMO TOWNSHIP — Residents and property owners packed a meeting Tuesday to express concerns over plans to run high-voltage power transmission lines through Oshtemo Township, though it is unclear what can be done to alter the route.
About 75 people, including residents, property owners and representatives of area legislators, attended a public input session hosted by the township board on ITC Holdings Corp.'s Weeds Lake dual 138,000-volt transmission lines project. ITC was invited, but opted instead to hold private meetings with property owners along the route.
The power company plans to install a new substation off VanKal Avenue in Almena Township to tie into existing transmission lines and feed two new 138,000-volt transmission lines. The new power lines, mounted on poles, are to run east through Oshtemo Township, running together for the majority of the approximately 7-mile route.
Safety questions emerge
At Tuesday's meeting, residents, landowners and business owners expressed concerns about potential impacts, including property devaluation and safety issues, as well as the process ITC has undertaken.
Terry Schley, a landowner along the route and a former chairman of the township planning commission, said he has gotten no official feedback from the company on two rerouting proposals and requests for a schedule for the project.
"This is not, as ITC has said they are doing, a respectful process with landowners to minimize impacts on our property," he said.
One concern is the route of the power lines through the Ninth Street village area.
Schley said the township established specific objectives to create a small-town feel in the area, which included placing new utility lines underground. He said that in his interactions with ITC, the company was not aware of the objectives.
Doug Worden said the proposed line intersects property on Sixth Street that has been in his family for four generations.
'Intimidating' process
"This is kind of like a bad movie, where Tennessee Valley comes along and takes everybody's property and floods it," Worden said. "I think a lot of us feel like this, like we don't have any choice. They approach each of us individually. It's a little bit intimidating."
Worden questioned why ITC did not opt for a route such as the I-94 corridor or railroads, or at least one running along property lines rather than bisecting many properties.
"I'm of the mind frame that we're going to resist," Worden said, "but my honest opinion is that we don't have a whole lot to say about this."
Resident and affected property owner Josh Weiner said he is concerned about the proximity of the line to his front door, the impact on the land, his privacy and enjoyment of his property, safety, access to his land and use of the line easement by hikers, snowmobilers and other users.
"It absolutely defies logic that this routing is the one and only alternative that can be pursued," Weiner said. "There must be several others to be considered. And one of those others would have less impact on our residents, on our businesses and on our enjoyment of our property and the quality of life in our township."
Weiner said he has spoken with the governor, as well as state Rep. Margaret O'Brien, state Sen. Tonya Schuitmaker and county commissioners. He urged Oshtemo Township officials to do the same.
"There have been no individual answers to pointed questions about how the route was chosen, why that route was chosen and whether other routes were acceptable alternatives," Weiner said. "Our family, we're not going to sit idly by."
Beth Hartman owns Thousand Oaks Farm, a 190-acre farm on M Avenue that currently has 27 horses, 22 of which are boarded there by paying customers. She said the proposed route cuts a halfmile- long path through her property and passes 200 feet from the barn.
Hartman said she is concerned about the safety and security of the horses and owners who use the grounds to trail ride, hike and walk.
"I have great concern over my business and the success of my business, people leaving and then my employees are out of a job," she said.
Michigan Balloon Corp. owner and president Ron Centers said he has been launching hot air balloons from Flesher Field along Ninth Street for 28 years. He said proximity of the line to the park would eliminate his ability to launch from there. He also questioned the longterm safety of children playing in Flesher Field and whether the lines would negatively affect use.
"I can always go looking for a new launch site and try to build that up, but I've come to love Oshtemo and Flesher Field," Centers said. "I would really hate to see our launch site taken away from us."
Representatives of O'Brien and State Rep. Sean McCann said the two state legislators are monitoring the situation to see what, if anything, they can do to defend landowners.
Board members expressed sympathy for residents and plan to discuss the board's options further. The board has discussed drafting a resolution or letter to state legislators and the governor regarding the process and the route. Township Attorney James Porter also agreed to meet with attorneys who are individually employed by property owners to fight the route.
"I've been in township government for a long time, and we're usually in a position to say yea or nay," Trustee Dave Bushouse said. "To have this issue come before us and not be able to say yea or nay is very disturbing. I think if you look at the group you have, I think through your state legislators you can put some pressure, and I think it would be well deserved to put some pressure on at this point."

'Mouse Guard: The Black Axe' #5 is 'completely engaging'
'Mouse Guard: The Black Axe' #5 went on sale last week and Comic Book Resources' Kelly Thompson, reviews Peterson's newest released 'Mouse Guard' tale.
As usual with "Mouse Guard," Peterson's art is lovely and he merges his writing and art flawlessly. The unusual format (horizontal and odd-sized) is a wonderful choice for these large detailed panels. Peterson's world building is effortless at this point. Whether he's giving us the materials for a new boat or "uncharted" islands our heroes have never seen before, it all fits together seamlessly with a depth that most comics can only dream of. The fact that Peterson can get me to care about mice still astounds me, but he's given them such emotion and character that it's impossible not to fall in love with them on this epic journeys.

It's nice to see the Mets avoid the sweep by stomping the Seattle Mariners 8-2 yesterday. It's still unfortunate that we're reading sentences like "avoiding the sweep against the last place Mariners."
Now we get four against the Yankees. The Mets have obvious differences since the last time we watched a Subway Series, like the record, the manager, and the rotation. But there are some similiarities, too. And according to Colin Stephenson of the Star-Ledger, that includes Oliver Perez pitching on Sunday:
NEW YORK -- After expressing disappointment in Oliver Perez following his awful outing Tuesday night, and strongly suggesting Perez desperately needs to be better, manager Jerry Manuel said Perez will make his next scheduled start, which is set for Sunday against the Yankees.It's aggravating how quickly Oliver Perez changed from rotation strength to flirting with a bullpen trip. He pitched well enough in the 2007 season to make us forget his career 4.51 ERA and his reputation for lazy mechanics.
The magnitude of the game, Manuel said, should provide a telling picture of who the enigmatic Perez really is as a pitcher.
"Oliver's a funny guy," Manuel said. "You know, looking back at Oliver Perez, it appears as though the bigger the game, the better the performance. And you can't have any bigger game than the Yankees on Sunday afternoon in Shea Stadium. ... So that would be a very good time for us to make a decision, one way or the other."
The Mets could use Perez finding his rhythm against the Yankees as a great opportunity to put the wind back in their sails. But no one knows which Ollie will show up anymore. And the Mets can't keep risking it if they want to make a serious charge back to respectability.
Oliver Perez should be auditioning for his job on Sunday. And if he fails, then his name should find its way into Omar Minaya's trade conversations. He's a free agent at the end of the year and all signs point to him signing with the highest bidder in the offseason. If he turns it around and contributes, great. But if he doesn't or there's no signs of hope, then the Mets should at least try to get 50 cents on the dollar for him.
Perez won a place in my heart for his gutsy 2006 NLCS Game 7 performance, but Ollie's cashed in all of the brownie points he earned from it. He's just another pitcher now, and rapidly approaching "dead weight" status.
Around the Web
Dan Graziano of the Star-Ledger suggests that Mets' hitting coach Howard Johnson's job could be in jeopardy if the hitting doesn't improve. While the Mets rank poorly in all of the major offensive categories, HoJo can't be blamed entirely for the Mets' aging roster. Firing more coaches is just a distraction from the Mets' biggest problems, and won't be fixed by someone else giving advice to Fernando Tatis on adjusting his swing.
According to Peter Botte and Adam Rubin at the NY Daily News, umpire Brian Runge apologized to Jerry Manuel for bumping and ejecting Manuel during Tuesday's game. Manuel accepted the apology, but MLB's most likely not done with action against Runge.
Adam Rubin at the NY Daily News notes a few Mets roster moves in his notebook. The Mets claimed right-handed first baseman and ex-Yankee Andy Phillips off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds. Jerry Manuel insisted that he doesn't intend to platoon Phillips with Delgado, but that could change.
Also according to Rubin: The Mets will promote Tony Armas (5-6, 2.50 ERA) from Triple-A New Orleans to make a spot start against St. Louis on Tuesday will settle in as the Mets' long reliever role afterwards. Or, if Perez fails on Sunday, he could be auditioning for a rotation spot.
With the assistance of a reader, Greg at Faith and Fear in Flushing uncovered a Kiner's Korner appearance by the late George Carlin from 1989. We lost a brilliant comedic mind earlier this week with Carlin's passing, and watching his Kiner's Korner appearance puts Carlin's character and talent in a very unique Mets perspective. Go watch.
Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post apparently has a thin skin: He defended a controversy he created from Jerry Manuel's fertilizer comments by responding to Keith Olbermann (who called Hubbuch at the Post one of the worst people in the world), Adam Rubin of the NY Daily News, the readers who e-mailed Hubbuch to call him crazy, and the "radio and blogger blowhards" who called Hubbuch out. As one of the "blogger blowhards," I'm honored to know that we can muster a little accountability amongst the press. A beat writer's job isn't easy and I certainly respect the profession. But when Hubbuch generates a story from a clear joke by Manuel to impress his editors and help sell papers, it's lazy.

This is what an artist supply shop should be like. AP Fitzpatrick is a painters dream. They sells products specifically for painters and carry only the best products available... Lascaux acrylics, mediums by Kremer, oils by Sax and Blockx. And they make the best bespoke canvases ever. Though this place can hit the pocket book hard and fast, the steep prices are well worth it. I do not go to...more
A. P. Fitzpatrick is a little specialist gem. It does not look like much from the outside but inside is everything artists could want. The shop seems like something from a long lost era of small private shops, the staff are really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Definitely a lot better than all the new over-sized chain art stores, which do not have what you need anyway.more

HOUGHTON - There are four cameras mounted at various locations on the Portage Lake Lift Bridge, and it's expected four more will be going up soon.
Jeff Barsch, transportation engineer at the Michigan Department of Transportation Ishpeming office, said the cameras are being installed for security purposes, and they will aid the bridge operators, who have some blind spots from their location on the north support posts.
"The operators can't see everywhere," he said.

Kurt Hauglie/Daily Mining Gazette
This is one of the four cameras currently mounted on the Portage Lake Lift Bridge. The cameras are intended to monitor the condition of the bridge, and to provide bridge operators better views of the structure.
Barsch said the cameras are not being installed as part of the new construction on M-26 or for the maintenance work on the bridge scheduled to start in December.
"This is a separate project we've been working on for quite awhile," he said.
Jack Dueweke, emergency measures coordinator for Houghton and Keweenaw counties, said cameras were purchased with an $11,215 Stonegarden grant through the Homeland Security grant program.
Dueweke said the cameras are intended to monitor the bridge itself.
"We're just keeping a little better track of that critical piece of our infrastructure," he said.
Within the next six months, Dueweke said the remainder of the eight cameras will be mounted on the bridge.
"That would be the plan," he said.

McClendon completes his new coaching staff
Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon completed his coaching staff on Monday and the group will have a mix of new and old faces.
McClendon, who was Detroit's hitting instructor before being hired by Seattle to replace Eric Wedge, hired two coaches with whom he had former Tigers connections in first base coach Andy Van Slyke and bullpen coach Mike Rojas.
McClendon reached into the Mariners farm system to promote hitting coach Howard Johnson, pitching coach Rick Waits, third base coach John Stearns and infield coach Chris Woodward.
And the new skipper retained two members of Wedge's former staff in bullpen catcher Jason Phillips and left-handed batting practice pitcher Scott Budner.
That group joins former Nationals third base coach Trent Jewett, who already had been announced as McClendon's bench coach.
None of Wedge's primary staff was retained, including bench coach Robby Thompson, pitching coach Carl Willis, hitting coach Dave Hansen, first base coach Mike Brumley, third base coaches Daren Brown and Jeff Datz and bullpen coach Jaime Navarro.
Datz, replaced the final five months of last season by Brown after being diagnosed with cancer, has been offered a position in the scouting department. Brumley has taken a job as the assistant hitting coach with new Cubs manager Rick Renteria.
Thompson interviewed for Jewett's third-base job with the Nationals and Willis was a finalist recently for pitching coach openings with the Phillies and Orioles, but those jobs have since been filled by others. All of Seattle's former coaches remain under contract through next season.
Johnson, a two-time National League All-Star who won a pair of World Series titles with the Tigers (1984) and Mets ('86), takes over as hitting coach after holding that position with Triple-A Tacoma last year. Johnson spent the prior 11 seasons in the Mets' organization, including three and a half years (2007-10) as their big-league hitting coach.
Johnson, 52, started the 2007 season as the Mets' first base coach before becoming their hitting coach in July and then held that position through 2010. Over a 14-year Major League career, he hit .249 with 228 home runs, 760 RBIs and 231 stolen bases as a switch-hitting third baseman and outfielder with the Tigers, Mets, Rockies and Cubs and he led the National League in home runs (38) and RBIs (117) in 1991 with the Mets.
Johnson worked with the Mariners as an assistant hitting coach in September last season after the Rainiers' season ended, so he's already worked with Seattle's players as well as many of the top Minor League prospects.
Waits, 61, is also a familiar figure with many of the Mariners after spending the last three seasons as the team's Minor League pitching coordinator. He'll be taking his first job as a Major League pitching coach, but has helped develop top prospects Taijuan Walker, James Paxton and Erasmo Ramirez since joining the organization in 2011.
Prior to being hired by the Mariners, Waits spent 15 seasons in the Mets organization, including seven years as their Minor League pitching coordinator from 2004-10 and was the Major League bullpen coach in 2003. Waits pitched in the Majors for 12 seasons with the Rangers, Indians and Brewers from 1973-85.
Stearns, 62, takes over as third-base coach after finishing last year as the manager in Tacoma. He opened the year as Seattle's Minor League catching coordinator, a job he began in 2012, but took over the Rainiers after Brown was promoted to Seattle's third-base coach to replace Datz. A four-time National League All-Star with the Mets, Stearns has been in professional baseball for the past 39 years as a player, coach, scout, manager and ESPN broadcaster.
Woodward, 37, joins the Major League staff after spending last season as the Mariners roving Minor League infield coordinator. That was his first coaching position after retiring from a 12-year Major League career that included two years with the Mariners in 2009-10. Woodward also spent time with the Mariners late last year working with young infielders Nick Franklin and Brad Miller.
McClendon reached into his Tigers past to hire Rojas and Van Slyke. Rojas, 50, spent the past two and a half seasons as Detroit's bullpen coach. The son of former Major League infielder and manager Cookie Rojas had been with the Tigers since 2004, including four years as their Minor League field coordinator and then director of player development. He has been a Minor League manager in the Tigers, Reds, Astros and White Sox's organizations after playing several years in the Minors as a catcher.
Van Slyke, 52, has been out of baseball the past four years after working as the Tigers first base coach from 2006-09 when McClendon was Detroit's hitting coach. The three-time All-Star and five-time Gold Glove center fielder was also teammates with McClendon with the Pirates from 1990-94 as part of a 13-year Major League career.
Phillips and Budner are holdovers from the previous staff. Phillips has been the bullpen catcher the past five years and also works with advance scouting reports, while Budner was hired two years ago to help throw left-handed batting practice and help chart games after working as a Minor League pitching coach in Seattle's system from 2000-08 as well as similar posts with the Orioles and Giants.

Shaughnessy, Vancouver
Shaughnessy is an almost entirely residential neighbourhood in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, spanning about 447 hectares[1] in a relatively central locale. It is bordered by 16th Avenue to the north, 41st Avenue to the south, Oak Street to the east, and Arbutus Street/West Boulevard to the west. In 2011, the population was approximately 8,807.[2] It was named after Thomas Shaughnessy, 1st Baron Shaughnessy, former president of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
The neighbourhood's residents have an average annual household income of $777,184, and the average house price is $3.09 million, the highest in Vancouver.[3] It is also the site of many historical homes, especially in First Shaughnessy. Of the neighbourhood's homes 51.5% were built before or during World War II, compared with 20.8% for the city at large.[1] This is largely due to the 1981 First Shaughnessy Official Development Plan by-law, which promotes private property ownership and single-family dwelling, while limiting property subdivision and population density.[4]
The neighbourhood was created in 1907 by the Canadian Pacific Railway, then the largest real estate developer in Canada. It was meant as an alternative to the West End, which was the traditional home for the budding city's elite.[5] Thanks to aggressive marketing by the Railroad, highly regulated development, and a stronger degree of exclusiveness, it gradually took the latter's status over the past century.
Shaughnessy is home to Little Flower Academy, Vancouver College, and York House School. The public elementary schools are Shaughnessy Elementary and Quilchena Elementary. There is one public high school in Shaughnessy, Point Grey Secondary. The neighbourhood is in the catchment area of each of Eric Hamber Secondary School, in Oakridge, or Prince of Wales Secondary School, in Arbutus Ridge.

With the Los Angeles Clippers getting healthy bodies back on the wing, it appears Stephen Jackson no longer has a place on the roster.
UPDATE: Tuesday, Jan. 7 at 3:04 p.m. ET by Grant Hughes
Per Alex Kennedy of HoopsWorld, L.A. officially parted ways with Jackson. It's a done deal.
It's official, the Clippers have waived Stephen Jackson.— Alex Kennedy (@AlexKennedyNBA) January 7, 2014
---End of update---
Per Dan Woike of the Orange County Register, the Clips are close to cutting ties with Jackson just ahead of the NBA's waiver deadline at 5 p.m. ET on Jan. 7:
While Doc wouldn't say, it seems like signs are pointing to Stephen Jackson being waived tomorrow sometime.— Dan Woike (@DanWoikeSports) January 7, 2014
The decision would hardly be a surprise, as the 14th-year pro barely played since signing a non-guaranteed contract back on Dec. 9. In 9 games, Jackson averaged just 1.7 points in 11.9 minutes per contest.
More than his lack of production, the fact that Los Angeles has younger, more useful help on the mend makes Jackson expendable. Even when head coach Doc Rivers was toying with giving Jackson semi-regular minutes, he only did so out of necessity.
Per Brian Robb of ESPN, Rivers said:
We're going to play him, since we have no choice. We don't have enough players, honestly. You know we went into the game the other night with one (small forward) and two (shooting guards). That's all we have. All of the middle position guys are out, from J.J. (Redick) to Matt Barnes and Reggie Bullock ... we don't have anybody.
Per Arash Markazi of ESPN, the Clips are about to get some help:
Jackson was brought in with Barnes, Redick and Bullock out. Barnes is back and Redick and Bullock may be back next week.— Arash Markazi (@ArashMarkazi) January 7, 2014
For his part, Jackson seems to be accepting reality gracefully. He posted this message on his Instagram account:
As optimistic as Captain Jack's post seems, the fact is he might be running out of options. The San Antonio Spurs cut him loose just before a run to the Finals last year, and it's hard to imagine him ever catching on with the Clippers in the first place if not for the collection of injuries in L.A.
Legal troubles and his role in the infamous "Malice in the Palace" back in 2004 contributed to Jackson's rough-and-tumble image among NBA fans. But he has also been a beloved locker room presence and someone whom teammates have always endorsed.
His game seems to have declined, though, and that's to be expected at age 35. With little appeal to rebuilding teams and not enough skill to crack the rotation of good ones, Jackson's NBA road could be coming to an end.

Sometimes beautiful projects and products are the result of an intuition, a coincidence and a chance. This is probably the case of Smateria. When Elisa and Jennifer, both from Italy, met in Cambodia they had no business plan nor product development schedule, just good will and a vision: helping local women earning their living through their work.
Smateria was in Paris at Ethical Fashion Show to present their new collection of fashion accessories made with fishing nets, mosquitoes nets, recycled motorbike seats and crocheted plastic bags. A wide range of bags for men and women, beautiful and strong travel accessories including the best seller weekender bag.
Everything started in 2005 from few unique pieces created by Elisa with recycled materials and Jennifer asking if she thought about selling all those beautiful things. From the obvious answer "no" to the creation of Smateria, the step was quick. It was not easy to crate a recycled material supply chain from scratch. Work organization and exports knowledge needed to be built in order to cope with large orders that – lucky they were – immediately arrived.
Now, more then 50 people are regularly involved in production and exports, products are sold worldwide and – yesterday's news – they just opened a daycare centre for their employee's kids in their own premises. This shows how good products and good will can really make the difference and give a chance for a better life to artisans and their families.

Fuel Reduction Alternatives at the Forest-Urban Interface
Use of prescribed fire to reduce fuel buildup can be problematic because of air quality concerns, problems with weed invasions after fire, and fire induced loss of ecosystem carbon and soil nutrients. The problem is even greater at the forest-urban interface where structures are interspersed with dense thickets of shrubs with high fuel loadings—a common condition in lower elevations of the commercial forest zone. Combining high population density and property values, droughty conditions, highly flammable fuels, and a mosaic of mixed ownerships spells the highest risk of catastrophic wildfire in the forested West. In 2001 we initiated a series of experiments to determine the efficacy of conventional and less-conventional mechanical fuel reduction treatments on reducing fuels, conserving site organic matter, and improving soil quality and forest health. Research findings from studying fuel reduction alternatives at the forest-urban interface can help guide managerial decisions about fuel treatments.
The Study
A feasibility study was established in spring 2000 as part of a fuel break operation near Shaver Lake on the Sierra National Forest. Initial findings justified expansion to other sites. National Fire Plan funding afforded establishing a new, 5-treatment experiment at sites in Siskiyou Co. (Mt. Shasta), Shasta Co. (Whitmore), Yuba Co. (Challenge), and Sierra Co. (Sierraville). All sites represent open pine forests with a dense understory of perennial shrubs and they are arrayed along a climatic gradient of cool and dry (Sierraville) through warm and moist (Challenge).
Research objectives are to:
Treatments are applied to 0.4-ha plots replicated four times at each installation in a randomized block design. They are:
The Mechanical Mastication followed by Prescribed Fire treatment is scheduled for two of the installations (Challenge and Whitmore) in fall 2004 or spring 2005. Prescribed Fire will be scheduled for Mt. Shasta and Sierraville in fall 2005 or spring 2006. At Challenge and Whitmore, Mastication and Mastication + Incorporation treatments have been split, with one half of each treatment plot receiving the herbicides hexazinone, glyphosate, and imazapyr and the other half left to develop naturally. This split-plot supplemental experiment allows us to follow the pathway of herbicides in the soil and soil solution.
Each plot at each location has been sampled intensively for overstory tree sizes, fuel loadings and soil physical and chemical properties prior to treatment. Follow-up measurements will examine the quality and quantity of revegetation, fuel reestablishment, modeled fire behavior, and overstory tree responses. Measurements also will be made of soil physical and chemical characteristics, particularly in respect to organic carbon storage and release, nitrogen availability, and available soil water. Plots have been instrumented for measuring soil moisture and temperature. Special soil solution lysimeters were established within and beneath the fine root zone in spring 2003 to track the fate of herbicides and effects of vegetation control on the mobility of soil nutrients. Collaborating scientists and graduate students at several western universities are helping study how these treatments affect the carbon and nitrogen cycles. These installations have great potential for demonstration to local communities and regional fire-safe councils.

DETROIT, MI – VernDale Products, a 55-year-old, Detroit-based powdered milk manufacturer, plans to renovate an abandoned building on the city's northeast side as part of a $16 million expansion.
The move into the second facility, at 18940 Weaver St., will add 13 jobs at the company.
The Michigan Economic Development Corporation announced the expansion, and said it is chipping in a $436,000 Michigan Business Development Program incentive.
It's not immediately clear when the second facility will be finished. VernDale Products is headquartered at 8445 Lyndon St.
"Our niche market position has enabled us to grow to a point where a second manufacturing site is needed. We are proud to have been a member of the Detroit business community for over 54 years, and very excited to be reinvesting in, and a part of the City's revitalization," VernDale Products President Dale Johnson said in an MEDC release. "I want to thank the Michigan Economic Development Corp. and the Michigan Strategic Fund for its support of our project."
MEDC President and CEO Michael A. Finney added, "VernDale Products' investment and expansion into a second major facility in the City of Detroit is a testament to the city's geographic economic strengths and fertile ground for business growth and development/ This company's success and commitment to Detroit give us great confidence in our support of this project."

This taken from Pope Urban's speech about how people raised spears against each other instead let's join and battle against the real enemies, the Turks. This really doesn't mean anything at first glance, but the mention of raising spears against ourselves instead let's ban together and destroy the enemy...Showed first 250 characters
This would imply let's have the two empires form one and battle the Turks and then we can get the Holy Land back as well as have more land which equals more power. Another interesting point is from the crusaders themselves. They stated that if they had gone and conquered the Holy Land they would receive land and money this all ties in with power, since at the present time all they had was the Feudal system meaning they would govern their own system...Showed next 250 characters

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Anne McLaughlin, 61, of Brighton Heights, a retired program director who had a passion for politics and was committed to helping others, died Monday at home.
Born Anne Frazer in Manhattan, she grew up in Brooklyn and graduated from Bishop McDonnell Memorial High School. She earned her bachelor's degree in mathematics from Brooklyn College.
Mrs. McLaughlin moved to Brighton Heights 27 years ago.
Most recently, she was a senior program director at the Osborne Association in Brooklyn, a nonprofit organization whose goals are to help transform the livesof people who have been in conflict with the law. She retired in 2005.
Mrs. McLaughlin was passionate about politics. She also enjoyed traveling all over the world, but her favorite destination was Atlantic City.
She loved spending time with her family. She enjoyed playing suduko and Scrabble, and was very fond of shopping.
Surviving are her son, Derrick McLaughlin; her daughter, Jennifer McLaughlin, and her companion of 17 years, Michael Gooden.
The funeral service will be tomorrow at 10 a.m. in Mount Sinai United Christian Church, Tompkinsville. Burial will follow in George Washington Memorial Park, Paramus, N.J. Arrangements are being handled by the Stradford Funeral Home, Concord.

Reporting from Iraq or Afghanistan, Darfur or Haiti, can be alluring and exciting. But the minute some people put on that flak jacket, something happens.
"The government that is closest to the people governs best." That sentiment was expressed recently by Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan, and it's long been a staple of conservative political philosophy and of candidates who want federal programs to be taken over by state and local governments. But liberals embrace it in their own way when they talk about "participatory democracy" and the need for people to be able to make decisions about the issues that directly affect them.
The question is: what does it mean for government to be "closer" to people?
As I've said before, the objectivity-fetishizing conventions of straight
news reporting make me crazy. It's not just the odd philosophical
throwback of implying that reporters can somehow avoid writing as
particular people situated in particular contexts. It's also the
convoluted copy, in which even plain facts can't be stated plainly if
they happen to be unpopular.
So I was glad when NPR released its new ethics handbook,
in which among other things the network states that it favors "truth"
over "the appearance of balance" and adds that "if the balance of
evidence in a matter of controversy weighs heavily on one side, we
acknowledge it in our reports."
Two days after graduating from high school, I reported for duty as a summertime relief reporter for the Moline Daily Dispatch, where I covered cops and robbers, city councils and school boards, births and deaths, train wrecks and bubble-gum contests at the city parks.
Some of the best coverage of the firing of National Public Radio news analyst Juan Williams has been NPR's own. But the broader conversation has quickly become a chorus of ridiculousness.
blogging about blogging can be the ultimate navel-gazing, but hear me out; I
mean to intrigue.
Navigating the new media
We asked some expert observers of the religion scene how they are navigating the new media. What do they read, watch and listen to? How have their reading, listening and viewing habits changed over the past decade?Here's Mark Silk: "I've always been a news junkie. I still take two dead-tree newspapers—the New York Times and the Hartford Courant. I look at the Washington Post every morning, and I listen to NPR's Morning Edition and All Things Considered while driving to and from work. At work, I'm in thrall to the continuous news cycle. I check the AP wire on Yahoo as soon as I sit down at my desk, and then scan the general-interest blogs and blogzines—the Daily Dish, Politico, Talking Points Memo, Huffington Post, the Daily Beast."

Pediatric femoral neck fracture is rare and known to be associated with a high complication rate. The effect of early decompression and operative fixation is not frequently reported in the literature. This is a retrospective study of 14 patients younger than 16 years with traumatic fractures of the femoral neck and intertrochanteric region over a 10-year period with a follow-up of 2-11 years (mean, 4.6 years). Road traffic accidents and falls from a height were the main causative factors, and the fractures were subclassified into transcervical, 58%; intertrochanteric, 29%; transepiphyseal, 7%; and cervicotrochanteric, 7%. Of all the fractures, 10 (71%) were displaced. Decompression of the hip by aspiration and closed reduction and internal fixation was performed for all the displaced fractures within 24 h after admission. Three cases required open reduction. Complete fracture healing and functional recovery was achieved in 13 patients with only one delayed union. No patient had radiographic evidence of avascular necrosis. When compared with earlier studies, the current aggressive management protocol for displaced fracture significantly minimized the complications of avascular necrosis, nonunion, delayed union, and premature physeal closure.

Fall Fun Facts !!!
Fun Facts About Fall
- Glucose trapped in the leaves gives them their red color. The brown coloring comes from the waste trapped there. Red and purple come from anthocyanin pigments formed in the dying leaves (the same pigment in purple grapes, red apples, and violets).
- About 500 years ago when Middle English was spoken, expressions like "fall of the leaf and "fall of the year" were commonly used. Thus, the name "Fall" stuck as the name of the season.
- Football season has started back up again.
- Orange and black are the Halloween colors because the orange symbolizes the colors of the Fall harvest and the black is associated with the darkness and death that come with Halloween.
- Pumpkins come in other colors besides orange—white, blue, and green.
- Plymouth Pilgrims were the first to celebrate Thanksgiving. Their celebration lasted 3 days.
- In the U.S., about 280 million turkeys are sold for family Thanksgiving celebrations.
- Black Friday, the Friday after Thanksgiving in the U.S. begins the Christmas shopping season.
- The first day of fall is also the second equinox of the year and the Earth's axis isn't pointing toward or away from the sun.
- The first day of fall has approximately equal amounts of daytime and nighttime.

Ronald, Angelica and Happé, F. and Dworzynski, K. and Bolton, P. and Plomin, R. (2010) Exploring the relation between prenatal and neonatal complications and later autistic-Like features in a representative community sample of twins. Child Development 81 (1), pp. 166-182. ISSN 0009-3920.Full text not available from this repository.
Prenatal and neonatal events were reported by parents of 13,690 eighteen-month-old twins enrolled in the Twins Early Development Study, a representative community sample born in England and Wales. At ages 7–8, parents and teachers completed questionnaires on social and nonsocial autistic-like features and parents completed the Childhood Asperger Syndrome Test. Correlations between prenatal and neonatal events and autistic-like features were weak, both in the whole sample (r = .00–.07) and at the 5% quantitative extreme (phenotypic group correlations = .01–.11), after controlling for socioeconomic status and cognitive ability. Neonatal problems showed modest heritability (13%–14%) and significant shared and nonshared environmental influences (55%–59% and 28%–31%, respectively). Differences in identical twins' neonatal problems correlated weakly with their difference scores on autistic-like features (r = .01–.06).

|Russian Counted Cross-stitch Artist to Show her Works In Winchester
Virginia National Bank (186 North Loudoun Street, Winchester, VA 22601) will open a unique exhibition featuring counted cross-stitch artist Nina Vassallo on December 7 at 4 pm, on view until February 2013. Nina Vassallo was born in Russia, where she graduated from medical school and served for several years as a physician in a clinic in Moscow. She and her husband live in Winchester, Virginia. Twenty-one beautiful cross-stitch works adorn Nina's home. She has a tradition: after finishing each design, she brings it to the International Club so her friends can share her joy in another masterpiece. She calls it The One Picture Show. Finally she decided to put a proper show together, so everyone could see the beauty otherwise hidden inside her home. When Nina's sister Lyuba heard about The Art of Cross Stitch exhibition, she brought over from Moscow (Russia) three new works of her own, featuring sights from her recent trips to Italy and The Czech Republic.

JEFFERSON — A "father-son team" accused in December of turning their Jefferson home into a marijuana production facility were indicted today in the case.
A grand jury in Superior Court in Morristown handed up an indictment charging Aaron Wolfe and his son, Andrew Wolfe, with first-degree maintaining a marijuana production facility and other drug charges.
The two were arrested Dec. 10, when police confiscated 28 marijuana plants, many more than 5 feet tall, police had said. At the time of their arrests, Aaron was 43 years old and Andrew was 18.
They had recently moved into the neighborhood and worked together to grow marijuana and distribute it throughout the township, police said. Authorities were tipped off because of the quality and quantity that Andrew was allegedly selling, police said.
Aaron Wolfe had worked at a landscaping company specializing in fertilizer and had become quite adept at growing the drug, police said.
The plants were on the second floor of the home, where seedlings were found in one bedroom and mature plants, scales and bags were in another bedroom, police said.
They also each were indicted on charges of second-degree possession with intent to distribute between 10 and 50 marijuana plants; second-degree conspiracy to possess drugs with intent to distribute; third-degree possession of 1 ounce or more of drugs with intent to distribute; third-degree possession of oxycodone; and fourth degree possession of more than 50 grams of marijuana.

|New TORP LNG proposal
MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Gov. Bob Riley has approved the opening of a new liquefied natural gas terminal off the Alabama coast.
The TORP Technology facility got the governor's nod because the Texas company agreed to use an environmentally friendly method to reheat the gas that doesn't affect marine life. The company also has agreed to set up a $25 million fund to help with the protection, restoration and improvement of Alabama's marine life and coast.
The plant is expected to create 250 new jobs for the state.
The Houston-based company originally proposed an "open loop" system that uses sea water from the Gulf to warm up the liquefied natural gas. Riley said in 2008 he would not approve the company's application that way.
The terminal is a gas receiving facility and is not used in the exploration or production of oil or gas.

Amazingly, it seems virtually unknown on the web, linked seven times on Del.icio.us and only 33 links in Google's index. It's almost certainly because of the registration wall, with no clear insight into what's hiding behind the curtain. But once you register (for free), you get access to full access to the entire video archive in high-quality Quicktime or Windows Media.
Funny enough, I noticed that their Quicktime previews are viewable outside of their site. So, as long as it lasts, here's a small sampling of my favorites from the 48,500+ reels in the British MovieTone News archive.
Cogs All Set for the Big Count (1931)
"A robot machine will sort out your secrets" when the British Census was conducted in the 1930s. Amazing footage of women speed-typing data into punch cards.
Human Voice Machine (1939)
Demonstration of the Bell Labs "Voder," a valve/tube-driven speech synthesizer controlled by a chordal keyboard, at the Golden Gate Exposition. More on the Voder, with additional sound samples.
Computer Hits The Headlines (1964)
How computers are revolutionizing the newsroom.
Honeywell-Emett Forget-Me-Not Computer (1966)
Rowland Emett's creative kinetic art that Time Magazine in 1974 called "a hilarious sendup of the whole electronic-brain industry."
Accidental Art (1968)
"Cybernetic Serendipity," an art exhibition demonstrating "creative forms generated by technology," including Bruce Lacey's R.O.S.A (Radio Operated Simulated Actress), Edward Ihnatowicz' Sound Activated Mobile, John Ravilious' Drawing Machine, and another creation by Emett. It's like Maker Faire circa 1968!
London Telecommunications Exhibition (1969)
Demonstrating a typical office in 1909 and 1970, with some predictions about office life in 1990. Pretty much nails every prediction, including telecommuting, CAD, and cordless phones.
Info Fair (1970)
Technology companies show their latest products, including the newest offerings from IBM, STC, and others. "Today, the Bible can be recorded in its entirety on one tiny slip of microfilm."
Valentine Cards (1970)
"Today, the language of love is mass-produced."
Slimming by Computer (1970)
Profile of Weightcheckers International, a computerized diet service. "So if you're chubby, tubby, or just plain fat, stick to your diet. The hard work's done by the computer."
New ERNIE Computer (1973)
ERNIE, the Electronic Random Number Indicator Equipment, was a giant random-number generator created to select prize winners of a savings bond lottery in Britain. Ernie Mark 2 was designed to look like the set of Goldfinger. More on ERNIE.
Color Footage of ERNIE 2 (1973)
More great footage of ERNIE in color, but mute.
Arts & Entertainment
A Bubble - By Dali (1966)
Dali Story (1969)
Two clips of Salvador Dali appearing in public, one painting in an enclosed bubble in a park and the other unveiling a painting. In both clips, the commentary is sarcastic, often insulting. Strange.
Amusement Exhibition (1969)
Tons of great mechanical games. Sega's Periscope and Helicopter both looked great. Note that even then, there were booth babes at gaming conventions.
Opening of Disney World (1971)
This one's for Cory Doctorow. Long profile of the Magic Kingdom in Florida.
1973 Academy Awards (1973)
Red carpet footage from the 1970s and shots from the quaint show. "Godfather" gets Best Picture, "Cabaret" cleans up, and Marlon Brando sends Sacheen Littlefeather to refuse his Oscar.
Amusement Trade Fair (1976)
Great footage of early arcade, amusement, and coin-op games from the the mid-1970s. I couldn't recognize any of these, but Jason Scott spotted Indy 800.
Selfridges Toy Fair (1977)
Color footage of '70s toy stores, focusing on the elaborate window displays at Christmas. Muppets, Dr. Who, the Magic Roundabout, and The Rescuers are featured.
Science & Industry
Thomas Edison Dies at Age of 84 (1931)
Delightful, too-brief interview on his 84th birthday about Einstein's theory of relativity, talking pictures, and being 84. Footage of Edison hanging out with Hoover and Henry Ford.
The Atomic Bomb (August 30, 1945)
Three weeks after the bombing of Hiroshima, this reel sums up the broad highlights of the events at the start of the Atomic Age. Nice footage of the Oak Ridge, Tennessee factory of the Manhattan Project and its employees.
Wot! No Gravity (1958)
Study of weightlessness in parabolic arc plane rides before manned space flight. Mostly, I just linked this because of the Lolcat headline.
I've barely scratched the surface, mostly with silly stuff. Every major political and social event is in there too, not just robots and rockets. If you register, which I encourage, post your favorites in the comments!
Update: Greg at Daddytypes found a bunch of odd baby-related clips, including a great Wonder Baby.

Nintendo is a hypocrite.
Ok so I heard this rumor about Mario Kart 64 on the Wii but I thought it might be a error on there copy of the game but its not. So for all you people who say "Mario Kart 64 does not need online becuase I want to keep it like the Classic" so is it ok to take away features on the games??? Mario Kart has 2 features taken away in the Wii version
1) Ghost mode, were you race a ghost of your best time on that track (its a fun feature that makes you want to beat your last score and get better at the courses)
2) Replay (after completing a time trial you could watch the race you just raced, not a huge feature but I've used it before)
So I guess its ok for Nintendo to take away features but not to add new ones, sound great for the customer get less for wait you pay for a second time
Yes, you got it.Originally Posted by JerrodDRagon
Nintendo is a hypocrite.
It's ghosts. Stop crying about it already. Even when you COULD save them on N64, you were able to save one. *ONE* Is it THAT big of a deal?
I'm getting really sick of hearing so much complaining about losing such a MINOR feature to the game!

Update from Saturday's practices: The NHL told the Wings that Anaheim's Mike Brown won't be suspended for his hit to the head on Jiri Hudler in Game 1..
Prior to learning there would be no ban, Wings coach Mike Babcock said, "I'm not surprised (no suspension yet) and I don't think there will be.''
He added: "I think we're supposed to be protecting each other's heads.''
This what Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said Saturday, prior to learning whether there would be any action taken by the league: "It was a hard hockey hit, it wasn't late. People were saying it's a head shot, well, the player is admiring his pass and not looking he is susceptible to a body check and that's what he received. It's amazing there wasn't any replays on the (Niklas) Kronwall check on Ryan Carter, cut him in the first period. Jumped and left his feet but there was no replays on that.''
Babcock confirmed that defenseman Brian Rafalski (upper-body injury) won't play in Game 2 Sunday. Rafalski did not skate Saturday. Dan Cleary (lower-body injury) also didn't skate, which has been common since the playoffs started, but he is good to go.
No lineup changes for the Wings.

ALBANY, N.Y. - Four strikes and you're out.
The state Senate on Wednesday passed legislation that would see criminals charged with a felony if they get picked up for a misdemeanor after having three prior misdemeanor convictions.
The bill, sponsored by Sen. Martin Golden (R-Brooklyn), looks to address the issue of offenders who persistently commit misdemeanor crimes, such as sex offenses, yet avoid more severe felony prison sentences, leaving them free to commit additional crimes.
"All too often, we learn of suspects with an extensive rap sheet of misdemeanors being sought by law enforcement, and wonder why that person is living freely within our society," said Golden, a former NYPD officer. "My bill will change that and allow our court system to more adequately punish repeat offenders and keep them off our streets."
The bill creates the crime of aggravated criminal conduct, enabling courts to impose felony sanctions for a misdemeanor offense if the individual has at least three prior misdemeanor convictions committed over a 10-year period.
To close a loophole in the existing law, the bill excludes any time spent incarcerated from the 10-year time frame.
Under current law, criminals who commit multiple felonies receive stronger penalties for their repeated felony crimes, while those who commit multiple misdemeanors generally do not, said a release from Golden's office.
"Recidivism makes up a large part of the crimes being committed," said state Sen. Andrew Lanza (R-Staten Island), a former city prosecutor. "You really need to attack the recidivism rate."
"You want to cut down on repeat offenders," said state. Sen. Diane Savino (D-North Shore/Brooklyn).
The bill now goes to the Assembly, which has not acted on the legislation following four previous passages by the Senate.

Captain Mike Carter reports water is dropping rapidly at Guntersville after last week's heavy rains pushed it up several feet, and the bite on the upper part of the river ledges has turned on strong. His anglers have been catching lots of fish over 3 pounds in areas where the grass is still 4 to 6 feet from the surface on the shoulder of the ledges, most on Choo-Choo spinnerbaits and on Scrounger wobble-jigs with shad tails. His clients caught two fish over 7 pounds in the past week on crankbaits, as well. Carter said there's a good morning and evening topwater bite going on, as well--a Tuesday evening trip turned up 40 fish before sundown! The shad spawn is drawing to a close but there are still lots of the baitfish around nipping at the spinnerbaits, Carter said; www.anglingadventures.info.
Captain Mike Gerry had an amazing day May 17, with his anglers pulling well over 50 good bass off one of the creek mouths at mid-lake--see the full story elsewhere in today's Huntsville Times. Gerry says the late spring bite is great pretty much anywhere an angler would like to fish and on any bait he'd like to throw; www.fishlakeguntersvilleguideservice.com.
From Weiss Lake, Mark Collins reports good action on post-spawn bass around grass beds, docks, rocks and seawalls on shallow crankbaits, spinnerbaits, jigs and worms. The crappies are on the river channel woody structure at depths of 8 to 14 feet, best caught by spider-rigging live minnows just off bottom. Catfish are biting in 8 to 20 feet on cut shad pretty much all over the lake, says Collins, and water level is near normal, temperature 72 and rising; www.markcollinsguideservice.com.
From Pickwick, Captain Steve Hacker reports lots of largemouths, few smallmouths--a trip this past week produced 45 bass, all but one largemouths, but some of the bigmouths were in the 5-pounds and up class. He said most were caught on dropshot Ochos wacky-rigged, Carolina rigged lizards, 4.5 inch Shadalicious with internal 3/8 oz. leadhead, weightless white Caffeine Shads, and Texas-rigged Rodents, plus a few on topwaters if you cast right on top of breaking fish; www.smallmouth.com.
At Lewis Smith Lake, there may be a week or so of topwater fishing left--hit the main lake points from first light until about 8 a.m. with Spooks and other zig-zagging topwaters and you'll catch big spotted bass as well as the occasional monster striper. Captain Brent Crow is master of this tactic; www.northalabamabass.wordpress.com.
From the Tennessee side, guide Rick McFerren reports 75 mixed bluegill and crappie from Woods Reservoir on 1/16th ounce VMC chartreuse-orange Hot Glow Jig fished behind a tiny safety-pin spinner. The bluegill action should continue throughout south Tennessee and North Alabama into August, particularly around the new and full moons; www.tennesseebassguides.com.

Webb Simpson, who lost last year's Zurich Classic in a playoff to Bubba Watson, shot a 68. Watson struggled early and posted a 1-under 71.
The amazing thing about the strong scores from the opening group is that no one made a bogey. All three said that's the first time that's happened to them in a professional event.

New Verizon iPhone 4 Available for Pre-Order from Today
Apple in its Press Release stated that all the existing customer of Verizon were able to pre-order iPhone 4 sometime today from Apple or Verizon website. All the customers who will pre-order the iPhone 4 can pick up the iPhone 4 by themselves or it will be delivered by 10th February (you can say within 10 days).
"Beginning on Wednesday, February 9, all qualified customers will be able to order an iPhone 4 on Verizon through the Apple Store (www.apple.com) for delivery or reserve for in-store pick up beginning February 10.
Beginning at 7 a.m. local time on Thursday, February 10, iPhone 4 on Verizon will be available to all qualified customers at Apple's retail stores. iPhone 4 will also be available at more than 2,000 Verizon Wireless Communication Stores nationwide."
Now basically whoever wants a Verizon iPhone 4 should able to get one by 11th February.
This is pretty interesting, I mean all these dates. Well I think here, that Verizon want to extend the date for the pre-orders and as well as the orders on several days. Here Verizon is making sure that their system doesn't crash, as it happen with AT&T in the past. Here think is if everything goes well for Verizon, we will be hearing for them about how well they have managed their pre-orders as compare to AT&T.
As for Verizon I don't think there will be millions of people grabbing the iPhone 4 opportunity at first place, So, I don't think Verizon will be having any sort of issue taking up the pre-orders.
If you don't agree with me let me know in the comment section.

Red Wolves drop two
The Cedarcrest volleyball team started the week with a 5-2 record
and the knowledge that the Washington State Volleyball Coaches
Association had them ranked sixth in the state.
Then came an away-meet with Newport, on Wednesday, Oct. 6. In
a long, hard-fought contest the Knights wrapped the evening with a
five-game victory, by scores of 4-15, 11-15, 15-11, 15-13 and 9-15.
The team totals were Erin Townsend, 18 kills and 4 stuff
blocks; Julie Henry, 33 assists, 4 digs; Katie Power, 13 kills, 28 digs and 1
service ace; Lacy Lawson, 5 kills, 5 digs; Kara Lawson, 4 kills, 1 stuff block;
Rachael Barksdale, 6 digs and 3 service aces; Lauren Peterson, 4 digs, 2 aces, 1
kill and 2 stuff blocks; and Dorothy Westermann, 9 digs, 1 kill and 1
service ace.
Red Wolves' coach Christine Stefani-Hillstead reported Power
was the league leader in digs and in the top ten in kills-per-game. Townsend
was second in the league in kills-per-game and in the top ten in blocks,
while Henry was second in the league in assists-per-game.
Monday night's game pitted 5-3 Cedarcrest against 6-2 Valley
Division leader Interlake, while Wednesday's action saw the Wolves take on
8-0 Mercer Island. In advance, Stefani-Hillstead commented, "They will
both be tough matches, but I think we are mentally and physically prepared."
Unfortunately, the Saints showed why they were atop the Valley
Division, downing the Wolves in four games, 3-15, 15-9, 10-15 and
11-15. Townsend turned in 18 kills, 2 blocks and 3 digs; Power recorded 12
kills, 21 digs, 3 aces; Henry had 29 assists, 3 kills, 4 digs and 1 ace; and
Heidi Vandanacker logged 3 kills, 2 assists, 1 dig and 1 ace.
Cedarcrest is now 5-4 and looking at the tail end of the 1999
volleyball schedule. The Wolves faced Mercer Island at home on Wednesday,
Oct. 13, and travel to Sammamish next Monday.
Wildcats use Totems as scratching post
Last week the volleyball `Cats got an unexpected break, when their
second game of the week _ against Bellevue _ was changed to
Thursday, Oct. 21. Hence, Monday night's 2-15, 15-12, 15-9, 15-11 victory over
the Issaquah Indians was a good send-off for this week's action.
With a 4-3 record in league play, Mount Si took the court on
Monday, Oct. 11, against a surprisingly tough Sammamish team. Going into the
contest, the Wildcat stat-leaders were Genevieve Weber, 19 aces;
Heather Lewis, 61 kills and 71 digs; Kristen Everett, 157 assists; and
Stephanie Sales, 18 blocks.
The `Cats prevailed in four games, 15-12, 15-6, 10-16 and 15-4.
Individual performances saw Sales record 8 kills and 5 aces; Lewis, 16 kills,
4 aces, 8 digs; Betsy Bankson, 5 kills, 2 aces, 7 digs; and Everett, 31 assists.
Mount Si paid a friendly visit to Liberty on Wednesday, Oct. 13.,
and will host Skyline on Monday, Oct. 18.
