Fathers and sons, an artistic life at UUCWI Gallery of Art in Freeland
Artistic lessons learned from fathers reveal themselves in their sons.
The artwork of two fathers and their sons will be exhibited at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island Gallery of Art in its next show, "Father/Son Art Exhibit."
The show opens today, and an artists' reception is 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 2, in the Freeland meeting hall's gallery.
Featured artists include bronze sculptor Ron Ward and his son Johnathan Ward, a metal artist. The other father-and-son art duo is photographer Leonard Jacob Good and his dad, painter Leonard Phelps Good, now deceased.
Good the elder was a painter of some renown who had a long and fruitful career as an educator of art and as a professional artist. Leonard Phelps Good became a professor of art at the University of Oklahoma, where he had studied art, and later, at the University of Wisconsin and Drake University in Iowa.
A book by Andrew L. Phelan titled "Uncommonly Good," reveals the 50 years of Good senior's life as a painter and teacher, with pictures of more than 40 of his paintings, as well as drawings, photographs and cartoons, some of which will appear in this show.
Good studied with painter Jean Charlot, the French painter and illustrator who spent many years living and working in Mexico. Subsequently, Good and his wife Nancye became close to Charlot and his family. The couple traveled to Mexico in 1936 where they met Charlot's friends, the famous Diego Rivera and the iconic Frida Kahlo, among other painters, and also Emilio Amero of the Mexican Ministry of Education Murals.
But although his father and mother were part of an extraordinary world of artists, the son didn't think his life unique.
"It was all normal for me," he said.
The younger Good, a popular semi-retired teacher of science and photography on the island, shows not only an enormous respect for the artistic accomplishments of his father, but also remembers him as a great dad, too.
"He was a great teacher. He was very sensitive to other people," Good said.
Ironically, the same thing could be said of this Good son, whose famous model- rocket-building camp has local youths blasting off to get in line for the next one. Good has the gentle nature and science-savvy mind of a talented child educator, and though he doesn't consider himself an artist, his photos show a teacher's sponge-like sensitivity to the world.
Good said he's had a camera in hand since about the age of 11, and is a dedicated film photographer, though his family recently gave him a digital camera.
He taught photography at Skagit Valley College for seven years, and at Whidbey Island Academy, the Cedar School and to homeschoolers through Oak Harbor Home Connections.
He said his goal was to teach "pure photography," unhampered by all the chemicals that go with it.
He's drawn to portraiture, and has gathered for this show some of what he's taken over a lifetime that characterize his life as son, father and friend.
Bronze sculptor Ron Ward is pure dad through and through when he speaks with high praise of his son, Johnathan.
"He started out in a tent in our back yard 10 or 12 years ago with the vision that he was going to be an artist, instead of working for Western Washington University," Ron Ward said.
"What a good choice he made! You can see that vision in his earliest work. I am very proud of him and his work."
Ward the younger designs and creates fine-art pieces, as well as functional art for home and garden. To paraphrase a tagline for Johnathan Ward, if you can think it up and he can put the design to paper, then he can make it for you.
Materials he uses in his work include new and recycled steel, forged objects, found objects, cast cement, wood and glass. He turns them into railings, arbors, trellises, obelisks, weathervanes, tables, chairs, mirrors, beds, sconces, lanterns and pot racks.
His dad said he works constantly and travels to arts-and-crafts fairs throughout the Northwest. The elder Ward once traveled the arts-and-crafts fair circuit with his young family, selling handmade wooden toys, and he's almost overwhelmed when he sees the list of fairs his son and daughter-in-law travel to on the artist's Web site, click here.
"I get very tired," he said.
Johnathan's work ethic takes after that of his dad, a self-taught sculptor with a prolific output.
Ward's work begins mostly in clay wax and then is cast in bronze. He creates pieces that run the gamut from whimsical creatures or wildlife to those that reflect a deeper interpretation of the human condition.
"I always wanted to follow a different drummer," Ward said.
"I heard the drumming in the distance, but it took me almost 40 years to have that courage."
Ward said he has always found great delight and inspiration in his family, who often serve as the subjects for his work.
"My first sculpture was one of my granddaughter's laughing face. I had to capture that joy in something more than a photograph," he said.
He finds great pleasure from the process that allows him to share his vision through sculpting.
The father/son art show is on display at the UUCWI Gallery of Art through May and June.
The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island is at 20103 Highway 525, a mile north of Freeland.

Hey, you!
No, over here. In the green Camry.
Yeah, that's right, the car you just missed T-boning in the intersection because you're on the phone.
Yeah, now you see me. I look pretty ticked off, don't I? I'd flip you off rigid and tight right now, but my daughter's in the back seat and every time I give someone the finger she says to me: Daddy, who are you pointing at?
So get off the phone. Before I ruin your day like you're ruining mine.
Your arms are too small to steer that big-ass truck you're driving and you've got your dog sitting shotgun -- my pet peeve, literally -- and you weren't a very good driver before you got that fancy Motorola and now you are death on wheels so GET OFF THE PHONE.
All of you. Now. Disconnect.
I am just (beep) . . . I am just so tired of (beep) . . . wait a minute. Hold on. Don't go; I'll be right back . . . (beep) all right, where was I? Oh yeah, cell phones.
Cellular drivers were a nuisance and a menace around this town before The Thing happened, but now they're just a downright flirtation with the Rapture.
Without exception, every time that someone cuts me off or stalls me out or careens into my lane without warning (Driver's Ed tip: That little stick on the left side of your steering column is a turn signal. Try it some time.), the driver of said offending vehicle has one hand shoved into his ear and his head shoved up his King Day speech.
How is it that you managed to survive for four weeks without a flushing toilet or running water, 12 weeks without electricity and four months without Galatoire's but somehow you cannot manage a four-minute jaunt to Dorignac's without Dialing Without Dignity?
You were cooped up inside all day, piddling around in your trailer and doing chores and maybe doing your job -- for the 200 of us who still have them -- and not once did you make a phone call but now you've gotten in the car, and firing up the number pad on your phone has become as natural as turning the key, locking your seatbelt and tuning into Garland.
First of all, you look stupid when you hold a phone to your head while you drive. And the more expensive your car is, the stupider you look.
Don't you have people who can make those calls for you?
This action -- the hand to the ear thing -- has replaced stuffed Garfields with suction cup paws stuck on rear windows as the universal sign of a bad driver on board.
And this phenomenon has dramatically increased in the aftermath of The Thing and it seems to be the topic of much heated conversation around town. Unfortunately, most of those conversations are happening between people driving in cars.
It's another sign, like parking anywhere you feel like or taking out your garbage any old time that (beep) . . . that is making this city (beep) . . . wait a minute. Dammit. Hold on . . . (beep) that is making this city an anarchist's dream.
Hello. Are you still there?
Good. OK, let me lay a scenario on you:
Let's say you're at a four-way intersection and the lights are blinking yellow on one side and red on the other but there's also a temporary stop sign on the corner that may or may not have authority of law and you are on the phone with your sister-in-law in Atlanta and you're getting all hoo-ha about your insurance adjuster and there's also an ambulance coming up your back side but you don't see it because you haven't looked in your rear view mirror since you got that new phone in October and my question is: What are you going to do?
And here's the thing: The drivers in the three other cars at the four-way stop are all on the phone, too. And nobody's moving. Welcome to NASCAR: The Zombie Edition.
Oh, and did I mention that there's a pile of Sheetrock and living room furniture on the right that's blocking your view of the three schoolchildren in plaid skirts who are about to dart in front of you on the crosswalk?
There are a million split-second decisions to be made at this crucial moment, a matter of life and death perhaps, but the weird thing is that hanging up the phone isn't one you're going to consider.
Now let me (beep) . . . I just want to say (beep) . . . wait a minute. No, never mind. Let it ring.
I just want to say that we've got to stop chattering while driving. If I were running for mayor, it would be one of my campaign promises: To ban the use of cell phones in cars or at least restrict it to hands-free devices, but truthfully, they're not much better because your head is still in the clouds.
Your civil liberties and constitutional rights do not extend to you lumbering around the streets like a drunken moose and hindering my expedient jaunt to Walgreen's to re-up my Xanax prescription.
So get out of my way. And get off the phone. And I'd go on and on about this in more detail but I'm pulling up at Walgreen's and some jackass has parked across two spots and now I'm gonna have to park three blocks away.
I gotta go. I'll talk to you later.
. . . . . . .

FINAL: Twins 2, Tigers 0
Ninth inning: Joe Nathan comes in to pitch the ninth. He loads the bases after walking Plouffe and hitting Nunez with a pitch. With two outs, he walks in a run and Ausmus is forced to go to Phil Coke. The Tigers strand a runner on second to end the game, unable to score on the Twins all night. Tigers 0, Twins 2
Eighth inning: Joba Chamberlain replaces Alburquerque on the mound. He gets a quick 1-2-3 eighth inning. Casey Fien replaces Gibson, who held the Tigers scoreless in seven innings of work. Fien holds them scoreless as well. We head to the ninth. Tigers have five hits to the Twins' four, but have no runs to show for it. Tigers 0, Twins 1
Seventh inning: Al Albuquerque relieves Smyly, who pitched well but won't get the win. Tigers desperate for that big hit. With one out and nobody on base, Alex Avila belted a 92 mph fastball over the head of outfielder Danny Santana. Manager Brad Ausmus decides to sub Rajai Davis in as pinch runner and then brings in Torii Hunter to pinch hit. Hunter grounds out to third. Kinsler does the same and the Tigers fail to score again. Tigers 0, Twins 1

By Rick Coates
For the past couple of years Ann Arbor based My Dear Disco has been making regular stops in Northern Michigan. The band recently headlined the Traverse City Winter Microbrew & Music Festival and just last week they performed to a packed house at the Loading Dock in Traverse City.
Voted Best Band in Northern Michigan, the players are getting ready to embark on a national tour. Guitarist and band co-leader Robert Lester sat down to give an update:
Northern Express: A month ago when you came to Traverse City you were My Dear Disco. This past stop you unveiled a new name, Ella R!ot. What is up with the name change?
Robert Lester: There is a band out of Australia named My Disco that has been starting to gain popularity and touring internationally. We actually met them in 2009 at the South By Southwest Music Conference and both bands laughed about it. But when our management heard about them this January they took a different perspective and felt it could cause problems for us down the road.
In many ways we were ready to discuss a name change. We had changed our line-up from seven to five musicians, we were getting ready to release a new album and a new video so it all just made sense. We felt it made sense to do it now rather then later.
NE: Okay, why now and why Ella R!ot?
Lester: When we went to change the name we wanted to make sure we would avoid any trademark issues. It is a strange thing renaming an established band; we had this name for three years and built a following as My Dear Disco. We came up with Ella R!ot after the great Ella Fitzgerald. All of us in the band are fans of hers and Ella in Greek means bright light or torch and that is an image that we like to apply to what we do. Riot we came up with because that evokes our performance energy on stage.
Obviously, there is no violence in what we do but if you were to describe our stage show with one word it is riotous. So we put the two words together and it rolled off the tongue nicely so we went with it.
NE: When will you release your first CD under the new band name?
Lester: We are now embarking on a new tour around the country with a new CD that is being released this week called Love Child.
NE: How long has the band been together?
Lester: Essentially, we evolved out of the band Toolbox that was an instrumental project that had Irish bagpipes as the lead instrument and that band started five years ago. My Dear Disco/Ella R!ot has been together for three years -- all of us attended the U of M School of Music.
NE: Do you credit your U of M attendance in aiding your approach to music and what you describe as a DanceThink sound?
Lester: The band became an outlet for us because during the day we were doing academic music. Eventually we built up this band to seven players we were all friends. Five of us lived together for three years so we were like a musical family.
Then school ended and we decided we had a unique chemistry and we decided to take this band to see how far we can take this.
NE: For your style of music do you think being based in Michigan is best?
Lester: Michigan has its own music scene and it is known around the country. Music is one of the great exports from this state and it is a real calling card. When you are traveling around the country and people hear that you are from Michigan there is this sense you are going to bring it. The Michigan music scene is thriving, there is a lot of diversity.
NE: It is tough keeping a band together? What do you guys do to make it work?
Lester: Being in a band takes a lot of work, it is crazy just how much work it really is. I think maybe for some people who have never done it wonder how it could be so hard, but it is all of the little things that go into touring and recording and it is a very draining enterprise at times.
So you have to figure out how to do it so that experience fills your cup back up. Our secret to this point requires a lot of explicit communication. I think we are lucky because everyone in the band values that and while it can be easy to slip into a non-communicative environment... Our rule is anything can be talked about as long as it is talked about respectfully.
NE: What are you trying to accomplish musically?
Lester: We want highly danceable, multimedia displays of funky, songful, meaningful awesomeness. We have always tried to be something of a spectacle on stage but in a way that people want to get closer to.

Hi, welcome to Hyperdimension Neptunia Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the IF page.
Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! Feinoha (talk) 13:27, October 12, 2013 (UTC)
Question about Victory DLC Characters. Edit
Question: When you start a New Game +, Do Marvy and the other DLC characters have their Lily Ranks reset, their weapons, armor and purchased clothing disappear and their challenge counters reset? Because if they do, and their levels are not reset to 1 then it's gonna be a pain to try and regain all that again.

MOBILE, Alabama - South Alabama picked up big verbal commitment this week when Denham Springs, La., running back Kaleb Blanchard informed the USA coaching staff he intends to sign with the Jaguars on national signing day Wednesday.
The 6-foot-1, 210-pounder committed to Arkansas in the spring following his junior season, but when the new coaching staff took over recently, led by head coach Bret Bielema, the former Wisconsin head coach, Arkansas and Blanchard agreed to mutually part company around the first of the year. That reopened his recruitment and South Alabama moved to the top of his list.
"It really got down to the (end of recruiting) and South Alabama kept showing an interest,'' Blanchard told AL.com in a telephone interview. "So I visited. It's only two hours away, it's 30 minutes from the beach and my parents can come see me play. I was extremely impressed with the facilities and the up-and-coming program that South Alabama is becoming. I just wanted to be a part of that and bring something new to South Alabama and to Mobile. At the end of the day I just wanted to be happy and I'm happy.''
Blanchard was one of the more than 20 recruits South Alabama had on campus - and at Mardi Gras and the Senior Bowl - over the weekend. He returned home and called the coaching staff on Monday to tell them of his commitment.
"I feel like if I go over there and give 100 percent and help my teammates get better then I'm contributing,'' he said when asked if he felt he could contribute right away. "Of course I feel like I can contribute right away. I feel God put me in this situation and I trust God and I'll give all I can.
"Like I said throughout the recruiting process, I feel like I am a balanced running back in that I have my hands, I have my vision, cutting. If I get the ball in my hands I want to contribute anyway that I can. I'm happy.''
Denham Spring head coach Dru Nettles said South Alabama is getting a solid player in Blanchard.
"I definitely think they are getting a young man who can make an impact as a freshman,'' he said. "He's got a college body, I guess you'd say, being a little over six feet tall, 210 pounds and loves the weight room. He's put himself in a position to be able to handle college style play early. They are getting a guy who got in a bad situation that changed in his recruiting process and they're going to be the beneficiaries of a kid who can play in the SEC to really help their program.
"He had a fantastic sophomore season, running for almost 1,900 yards. He got hurt his junior season with a shoulder and finished with a hamstring, only finished with 60 carries his junior year. But he still showed enough talent where he was offered some camps and received a number of offers in the spring following his junior year. He committed to Arkansas in March of his junior year.
"He had offers from Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt and TCU at the time. He went to Arkansas before the situation with coach (Bobby) Petrino (being fired). Even after that situation changed he felt he liked the place and liked the people and he held firm to his commitment and pretty much shut down the recruiting process. We talked, we knew there was going to be a coaching change as the season went but he did not really want to open it up. He wasn't looking for all that. Coach Bielema got the job, new coaches have ideas, and they discussed it and kind of parted ways around the end of December, the first of January. From that point on (his recruitment) just kind of bounced around. South came in, did a good job and kind of swung him over.''
Blanchard said he's happy to be joining forces with South Alabama.
"I always trust God,'' he said. "I'm not disappointed by any means, and I don't want anyone to think that. ... I really feel like God put me here for a reason and I can't explain how happy I am. Hopefully I'll have tremendous success as a Jaguar.''
Nettles said he believes success will follow Blanchard to Mobile and South Alabama.
"He had just over 900 yards (rushing this season). He may have been dinged up - he only had 135 carries - but just our team, we struggled as a team. He had 15 rushing touchdowns, two (kickoff) returns for touchdowns and a reception (for a touchdown); 18 touchdowns in 10 games.
"First as a player, he has great vision and some natural instincts in seeing and having the vision to run the football and make some plays. He's naturally gifted as a runner to make plays. He has the speed to accelerate and to score from a distance. He's had touchdown runs of 80 and 90 yards as a sophomore and a senior. That's the thing that separates him. When he has a chance to score, he can.
"As a person, you have a kid that's committed to football. He was here every day working hard, battled through some tough times, learned a lot from that and appreciates where he's at. He has a lot of upside, a lot of future still ahead of him.''
Blanchard has been listed as a three-star recruit by some services and a four-star recruit by Rivals.

State education leaders say they'll need an extra 10 years for all Michigan's children to score high enough on tests to meet federal goals, and have asked the U.S. Education Department to waive No Child Left Behind requirements to allow more time.
The federal goals call for all children – 100 percent – to be deemed "proficient" on state exams by 2014, and Michigan leaders want that the requirement waived for a decade, though other states are expected to follow.
With changes to MEAP test scoring expected in the fall, state leaders said in a July 29 letter that the federal goal is "an unreasonable target." State leaders ask that a target for students to be career or college ready be adjusted to 80 percent.
Department spokeswomen Jan Ellis said it's unsure whether it's even possible for all children to score high enough.
"That's being debated nationwide," she said. "The jury is still out."
The move comes as federal leaders, including U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan, call for changes to the No Child law, saying that more than 80 percent of the nation's schools could be deemed failing for falling short of the goal.
The bipartisan, landmark law signed in 2001 requires districts to show improvement on state exams each year or face a series of sanctions.
Michigan educators have been criticized for lowering standards on their exams, allowing more students and schools to be deemed "proficient." State Board of Education members this year voted to raise the standards after an advocacy group accused the board of "lying" to parents about how well their students were performing.
Students on some Michigan Education Assessment Program exams could get as little as 40 percent of the questions correct and still be deemed proficient. New standards, called "cut scores," are expected to be revealed in the fall.
Ellis said the increased standards mean the state will need more time for all students to reach the new level.
"We've moved to more college-and career-ready standards, and that's going to require a phased-in approach," she said. "Michigan has high school standards that are rigorous, and raising the cut scores will increase the rigor as well. It's just going to take some more time to reach the levels that the federal government expects us to reach."
The request was sent Friday, and Ellis said it she is unsure when federal workers will respond.
State board President John Austin said states across the country are pushing for potential changes to the No Child law, looking at different ways to measure student progress.
Duncan has, unsuccessfully, tried to nudge Congress into action on the law. Austin said the waivers from Michigan and other states might be intended to apply pressure to lawmakers.
Michigan is among the states working toward a common core curriculum, and the states would share new exams that could be introduced around the time the 100 percent goal is expected to be reached.
Grand Rapids Superintendent Bernard Taylor said he has no problem with the goal, but said it might be more fair to change the criteria for students to be deemed proficient.
A special education student, he said might require more time to be reading at grade level.
"It's a manageable and worthy goal," Taylor said. "But the debate will be how you measure proficiency."

Besides basic text editing, `nano' offers many extra features like an interactive search and replace, goto line number, auto-indentation, feature toggles, internationalization support, and filename tab completion. * Menu: * Overview:: * Command Line Options:: File: nano.info, Node: Overview, Next: Command Line Options, Prev: Introduction, Up: Introduction Overview ======== `nano' +LINE [GNU long option] [option] [ FILE ... ] The original goal for `nano' was a complete bug-for-bug compatible emulation of Pico, but nano's main goal is to be as compatible as possible while offering a superset of Pico's functionality. Also see *Note Pico Compatibility::, for other differences. Email bug reports to <email@example.com>. File: nano.info, Node: Command Line Options, Prev: Overview, Up: Introduction Command Line Options ==================== `nano' takes the following options from the command line: `-B, --backup' When saving a file, back up the previous version of it to the current filename suffixed with a ~. `-D, --dos' Write file in DOS format. `-F, --multibuffer' Enable multiple file buffers, if available. `-I, --ignorercfiles' Don't look at $SYSCONFDIR/nanorc or ~/.nanorc, if nanorc support is available. `-K, --keypad' Do not use the ncurses keypad() call unless necessary. Try this flag if you find that the arrow keys on the numeric keypad do not work for you under `nano'. `-M, --mac' Write file in Mac format. `-N, --noconvert' Do not convert files from DOS/Mac format. `-Q [str], --quotestr [str]' Set the quoting string for justifying. The default is `^([ \t]*[|>:}#])+' if regular expression support is available, or "> " otherwise. Note that `\t' above stands for a literal Tab character. `-R, --regexp' Turn on regular expression search and search/replace. `-S, --smooth' Enable smooth scrolling. `-T [num], --tabsize=[num]' Set the displayed tab length to [num] columns. `-V, --version' Print the version number and copyright and quit. `-Y, --syntax=[str]' Specify a specific syntax highlighting from the .nanorc to use, if available. `-c, --const' Constantly display the cursor position and line number on the statusbar. `-h, --help' Print the usage and exit. `-i, --autoindent' Automatically indent new lines to the same number of spaces and tabs as the previous line. `-k, --cut' Makes ^K cut from the current cursor position to the end of the current line. `-l, --nofollow' When writing files, if the given file is a symbolic link it is removed and a new file is created. `-m, --mouse' Enables the use of the mouse to select text (currently only useful for running under the X window system). `-o [dir], --operatingdir=[dir]' Set operating directory. Makes `nano' set up something similar to a chroot. `-p, --preserve' Preserve the ^Q (XON) and ^S (XOFF) sequences so data being sent to the editor can be can be stopped and started. `-r [#cols], --fill=[#cols].' Wrap lines at column #cols. By default this is the width of the screen, less eight. If this value is negative, wrapping will occur at #cols from the right of the screen, allowing it to vary along with the screen width if the screen is resized. `-s [prog], --speller=[prog]' Invoke [prog] as the spell checker. By default, `nano' uses its own interactive spell checker that requires the `spell' program be installed on your system. `-t, --tempfile' Do not ask whether or not to save the current contents of the file when exiting, assume yes. This is most useful when using `nano' as the composer of a mailer program. `-x, --nohelp' In Expert Mode, the Shortcut Lists will not appear at the bottom of the screen. This affects the location of the statusbar as well, as in Expert Mode it is located at the very bottom of the editor. Note: When accessing the help system, Expert Mode is temporarily disabled to display the help system navigation keys. `-v, --view' Do not allow the contents of the file to be altered. Note that this flag should NOT be used in place of correct file permissions to implement a read-only file. `-w, --nowrap' Do not wrap long lines at any length. This option overrides any value for -r. `-z, --suspend' Enable suspend ability of `nano' using the system's suspend keystroke (usually ^Z). `-a, -b, -e, -f, -g, -j' Ignored, for compatibility with Pico. `+LINE' Start at line number LINE instead of the default of line 1. File: nano.info, Node: Editor Basics, Next: Online Help, Prev: Introduction, Up: Top Editor Basics ************* * Menu: * Entering Text:: * Special Functions:: * The Titlebar:: * The Statusbar:: * Shortcut Lists:: File: nano.info, Node: Entering Text, Next: Special Functions, Prev: Editor Basics, Up: Editor Basics Entering Text ============= All key sequences in `nano' are entered using the keyboard. `nano' is a "modeless" editor. All keys with the exception of Control and Meta key sequences will enter text into the file being edited. File: nano.info, Node: Special Functions, Next: The Titlebar, Prev: Entering Text, Up: Editor Basics Special Functions ================= Special functions use the Control key (displayed in the help and shortcut lists as ^) or the Meta key (displayed as M). * Control key sequences are entered by holding down the Control key and pressing the desired letter. * Meta key sequences can be entered in a number of possible ways: Pressing the Escape key, then releasing it and pressing the desired key, or holding down the Alt key while pressing the desired key. This varies from keyboard to keyboard, and certain commercial operating systems "swallow" the Alt key so that it never reaches the application. If your operating system does this, you should use the Escape key to generate Meta key sequences. File: nano.info, Node: The Titlebar, Next: The Statusbar, Prev: Special Functions, Up: Editor Basics The Titlebar ============ The titlebar is the line displayed at the top of the editor. There are three sections: left, center and right. The section on the left displays the version of `nano' being used. The center section displays the current file name, or "New Buffer" if the file has not yet been named. The section on the right will display "Modified" if the file has been modified since it was last saved or opened. Special modes: When `nano' is in "File browser" mode, the center section will display the current directory instead of the filename. *Note The File Browser::. File: nano.info, Node: The Statusbar, Next: Shortcut Lists, Prev: The Titlebar, Up: Editor Basics The Statusbar ============= The statusbar is located three lines from the bottom of the screen (or the bottom line in Expert Mode. *Note Expert Mode::, for more info). The Statusbar shows important and informational messages. Any error messages that occur from using the editor will appear on the statusbar. Any questions that are asked of the user will be asked on the statusbar, and any user input (search strings, file names, etc) will be input on the statusbar. File: nano.info, Node: Shortcut Lists, Prev: The Statusbar, Up: Editor Basics Shortcut Lists ============== The Shortcut Lists are the two lines at the bottom of the screen which show some of the more commonly used functions in the editor. File: nano.info, Node: Online Help, Next: Feature Toggles, Prev: Editor Basics, Up: Top Online Help *********** The online help system in `nano' is available by pressing ^G. It is fairly self explanatory, documenting the various parts of the editor and available keystrokes. Navigation is via the ^Y (Page Up) and ^V (Page Down) keys. ^X exits the help system. File: nano.info, Node: Feature Toggles, Next: The File Browser, Prev: Online Help, Up: Top Feature Toggles *************** Toggles allow you to change certain aspects of the editor that would normally be done via command line flags. They are invoked via certain Meta key sequences. *Note Special Functions::, for more info. The following global toggles are available: `Backup File Toggle (Meta-B)' toggles the -B (`--backup') command line flag. `DOS Format Toggle (Meta-D)' toggles the -D (`--dos') command line flag. `Multiple Files Toggle (Meta-F)' toggles the -F (`--multibuffer') command line flag. `AutoIndent Toggle (Meta-I)' toggles the -i (`--autoindent') command line flag. `Cut To End Toggle (Meta-K)' toggles the -k (`--cut') command line flag. `Mouse Toggle (Meta-M)' toggles the -m (`--mouse') command line flag. `Mac Format Toggle (Meta-O)' toggles the -M (`--mac') command line flag. `Smooth Scrolling Toggle (Meta-S)' toggles the -S (`--smooth') command line flag. `AutoWrap Toggle (Meta-W)' toggles the -w (`--nowrap') command line flag. `Expert/Nohelp Toggle (Meta-X)' toggles the -x (`--nohelp') command line flag. `Suspend Toggle (Meta-Z)' toggles the -z (`--suspend') command line flag. `Open Previous File Toggle (Meta-<)' changes buffer to previously loaded file. `Open Next File Toggle (Meta->)' changes buffer to next loaded file. File: nano.info, Node: The File Browser, Next: Pico Compatibility, Prev: Feature Toggles, Up: Top The File Browser **************** When reading or writing files, pressing ^T will invoke the file browser. Here, one can navigate directories in a graphical manner in order to find the desired file. Basic movement in the file browser is accomplished with the arrow keys and page up/down. The behavior of the enter (or `s') key varies by what is currently selected. If the currently selected object is a directory, the file browser will enter and display the contents of the directory. If the object is a file, this filename and path are copied to the statusbar and the file browser is exited. File: nano.info, Node: Pico Compatibility, Next: Building and Configure Options, Prev: The File Browser, Up: Top Pico Compatibility ****************** `nano' attempts to emulate Pico as closely as possible, but there are certain differences between the editors: `Search and Replace History' As of version 1.2.4 of `nano', text entered as search or replace strings will be stored and can be accessed with the up/down arrow keys. Previously, `nano' offered a more consistent, but incompatible with Pico, method for entering search and replace strings. In the old method, previous entries would be displayed by default as editable text in front of the cursor, as opposed to being bracketed and uneditable as it is in Pico. The old behavior could be made compatible with Pico via the `-p' flag, but recent versions of Pico use the `-p' flag to preserve the XON and XOFF sequences within the editor. Since with the new method search and replace strings can still be edited by simply hitting the up arrow key once, the old method was removed completely. `Writing or Appending Selected Text to Files' Text selected using the Control-Caret (^^) key can be written out or appended to a new or existing file using the Writeout key (^O). `Toggles' Many options which alter the functionality of the program can be "toggled" on or off using Meta key sequences, meaning the program does not have to be restarted to turn a particular feature of the editor on or off. Please see the internal help function (^G) for a list of what functions can be toggled for a particular version of `nano'. Also see *Note Feature Toggles::, though this may be out of date. `Cursor Position Display' The output of the "Display Cursor Position" in `nano' displays the given column position, as well as the row and total character position of the cursor. `Interactive Replace and Spell Checker' It is worth noting that the `nano' replace function is interactive, i.e. it does not stop after one search string is found and automatically replace it. The `nano' implementation will stop at each search string found and query whether to replace this instance or not. The internal spell checker operates similarly. Note that these is no way to force these functions to behave in the Pico fashion. As of version 1.2.4, misspelled words are sorted and trimmed for uniqueness in the internal spell checker such that the words 'apple' and 'Apple' will be prompted for correction separately. File: nano.info, Node: Building and Configure Options, Prev: Pico Compatibility, Up: Top Building and Configure Options ****************************** Building `nano' from source is fairly straightforward if you are familiar with compiling programs with autoconf support: * tar xvfz nano-x.y.z.tar.gz (where x.y.z is the version of nano) * cd nano-x.y.z/ * ./configure * make * make install if you are looking to optimize `nano' for size, you may want to consider the following command line options: `--disable-tabcomp' Disable the tab completion code when reading or writing files. `--disable-justify' Disable the justify (^J)/unjustify (^U) functions in the editor. `--disable-speller' Disable spell checker ability. `--disable-help' Disable the help function (^G). Disabling this option makes the binary much smaller, but makes it difficult for new users to learn more than very basic things about using the editor. `--disable-browser' Disable the mini file browser (^T) when reading or writing files. `--disable-mouse' Disable all mouse functionality. This also disables the -m command line flag, which enables the mouse functions. `--disable-operatingdir' Disable setting the operating directory. This also disables the -o command line flag. `--enable-tiny' This option disables all the above. It also disables some of the larger internals of the editor, like the marker code (^^) and the cut to line (-k) option, which depends on the marker code to work properly. It also disables the function toggles. `--disable-wrapping' Disable all word wrapping in the editor. This also eliminates the -w command line flag, as nonwrapping is then the default behavior. `--disable-nls' Disables Native Language support. This will make the available GNU `nano' translations unusable. `--with-slang' Compiling GNU `nano' with Slang is supported, and will make the binary notably smaller than if compiled with ncurses or other curses libraries.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Francisco Lindor played in his third Futures Game on Sunday at Target Field as a prelude to Tuesday's All-Star game. He's only 20, but it would be a surprise if he plays a fourth.
By the end of this season, perhaps before, the path from Class AA Akron to Cleveland, probably with a pit stop at Class AAA Columbus, will be cleared. Asdrubal Cabrera, whose play at shortstop has ranged from solid to spectacular for most of his seven plus years in Cleveland, will walk out the free-agent door at the end of the season. Should the Indians tumble in the AL Central coming out of the break, he could be gone before then.
One way or the other, it's Lindor's time.
Lindor has heard the question so many times, it seems as if he answers it by rote.
"To be honest, I'm trying to focus on what I'm doing today," he told reporters before Sunday's Futures game, when asked when he would start packing for Cleveland. "Being around all these guys, I'm so excited about this."
Ask him if he feels he's ready to play in the big leagues and a real voice replaces the taped recording.
"I feel good," said Lindor. "I'm not going to say I'm ready, but if the Indians put me out there I'm going to compete. I'm going to compete and try my best."
Lindor started at shortstop for the World Team, managed by Hall of Famer Bert Blyleven. He had a quiet day at the yard, going 0-for-2 with little action in the field before Cubs prospect Javier Baez replaced him.
Baez, who hit a two-run homer in Team USA's 3-2 victory, grew up with Lindor in Puerto Rico. In fact, Lindor and Baer were two of eight Puerto Ricans on the World team.
"We've been playing against each other since we were six or seven years old," said Baer. "He's a great player, a great guy and he plays the game right."
Back in Cleveland there seems to be movement afoot about the switch-hitting Lindor. GM Chris Antonetti told reporters at Progressive Field on Sunday that there have been discussions as to when Lindor should be promoted to Columbus.
Director of Player Development Ross Atkins says Lindor is getting better every day. Atkins is trying to stay in the moment regarding Lindor moving to the next level.
"We will remain focused on his day-to-day process and attention to playing the game one pitch at a time as we know he is," said Atkins. "We don't have concrete plans to promote any player so it's hard to say whether or not we will move Francisco."
The Indians brought Lindor to big-league camp for the first time this spring. He made a good impression with his defense and his bat. Lindor hit .316 (6-for-19) with one homer five RBI.
"I wasn't trying to prove anything, I was just out there playing and having fun," said Lindor.
He rolled that good spring into a solid first half at Akron, his first full season in the Eastern League. Lindor is hitting .284 (91-for-364) with 50 runs, 11 doubles, four triples, six homers and 46 RBI. He's struck out 58 times compared to 38 walks and posted a .761 OPS.
Lindor, almost five years younger than the average age of a position player in the Eastern League, has 24 steals in 33 attempts.
"We've been very pleased with the way Francisco has played," said Atkins.
Last year Lindor was shut down late in the season] because of a stress fracture in his back. This season he was hit in the face by a bad-hop grounder and suffered a broken nose. He's been wearing a mask when he runs the bases and plays shortstop.
He says he feel stronger this year and can see that the ball is carrying farther when he makes contact. The question is if and when it will carry him to Cleveland?
Right now, however, Lindor has other plans. He'll spend Monday and Tuesday at home in Orlando. Then he'll travel to Altoona, Pa., for the Eastern League All-Star game before returning to Akron to start the second half.
After that, who knows?
"Whatever the Indians think is best for me, that's what I'll do," said Lindor.

Two crooked lines of little skiers sidestep slowly to the start gate, race jitters evident among some, the quiet confidence of "just another race" exuding from others. The youngest racers go first, toddlers bundled in bright parkas and gumball helmets steering their way through the gates in stuttering snowplows. They're so cute, no one cares if they miss a gate—or three.
SKI Magazine and Skiing Magazine will host the 2015 Powder Click photo camp at Valle Nevado this year from August 21–28, offering an in-depth photography workshop for amateur photographers to hone their their action, lifestyle, and outdoor photography skills while skiing the powdery slopes of the Andes. Participants will be encouraged to nurture their creative side while at the same time expanding their technical knowledge and even learning how to get their images published.
Lodge at Breckenridge, Breckenridge, Colo. » Aiming to rise from typical mountain lodge to bou- tique hotel, the 35-year-old Lodge at Breckenridge reopened in December following $3.7 million in renovations. Enhancements include beetle-kill pine decor in each of the 45 rooms and the addition of Traverse Restaurant & Bar.

Entrees $16 to $23
Palmettos shows off Slidell's cypress marsh with its screened-in porch and high dock overlooking Bayou Bonfouca.
The wine list and even some of the traditional Creole and gussied-up Cajun food belie the rustic setting, although not in an entirely bad way. The banquet hall is named for the late Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, who was once a regular Palmettos performer, and the restaurant is also accessible by boat. Dinner Thursday through Saturday, lunch Friday.

Some New Orleans residents argue that all local festivals are basically the same. Maybe they need to get out more. That's especially true this coming weekend (April 6 & 7) when a score of crazily diverse celebrations unfold across the region.
It's going to be a weekend of delightful dilemmas.
How to choose, for example, between the state-sanctioned Louisiana Crawfish Boil Championship in Marrero, and the Bach Around the Clock music marathon in the Garden District? Better to attend both. Later, if you also attend the Edible Book Festival in Bywater, you can impress your friends by quoting from Terence, the old Roman writer, who probably had similar weekends: "Nothing human is alien to me." (Yes, April is National Poetry Month, too).
Saturday will be particularly jammed, so get an early start by attending the City Park Big Bass Fishing Rodeo and Fishtival. The country's oldest freshwater fishing contest for children and adults is a great way to rescue youngsters from the morning cartoons. Registration runs from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., and the contest kicks off at 9 a.m. Fish not biting? The Bass Rodeo includes musical performances, craft vendors, exhibits, food, raffles, auctions and giveaways. The weigh-in takes place at 11 a.m., with prizes awarded in 5 categories. Admission: $10 adults, $5 children age 12 and younger. City Park, 1 Palm Drive, 504.483.9415.
The Freret Street Festival puts a spotlight on the booming commercial strip that is one the great success stories of the post-Katrina recovery in New Orleans. The annual festival, which runs from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday, features four music stages, kids activities, and more 200 local vendors selling everything from crafts to prepared foods. Freret Street will be closed from Napoleon Ave. to Valmont St., adding to the mellow, pedestrian-friendly vibe of this free neighborhood party. When we interviewed Festival organizer Greg Esslen in 2011, he said that the gathering "reminds you why New Orleanians take pride in their neighborhoods. It's a good kind of provincialism: The kind that means you know the kids growing up on your street and the names of the businesspeople in local stores."
For a different take on the classic, New Orleans street festival, head down to the Warehouse Arts District for Jammin' on Julia. This free, Saturday evening affair (6 p.m. to 9 p.m.) features live music, drinks, and lots of art in the commercial galleries that cluster along Julia Street and adjacent thoroughfares. It's also a prime event for people watching, since the party brings out hipsters, dressy couples, and artists with very personal fashion ideas.
For more ideas about weekend festivals around New Orleans, go to our online festival calendar for April. (One heads up: the Old Algiers River Fest, which was scheduled for April 6 & 7, has been postponed until Fall).

Pregame banter
Barcelona are seeking to bounce back from a 1-0 defeat at Chelsea in the Champions League with victory in El Clásico.
Four points behind Real Madrid in the Spanish title race with five games to go, the Catalan club will entertain Real Madrid at Camp Nou.
The sides have met five times already this season - twice in the Super Cup and twice in the Copa del Rey (Kings Cup), along with one league meeting - and Barcelona have yet to be beaten.
In La Liga on December 10th, Barca won 3-1 at the Bernabeu.
Then in January, Pep Guardiola's men won 2-1 on away soil in the quarter-finals of the Kings Cup, before a 2-2 draw in the second leg took them through.
Madrid are also coming off a loss, as Bayern Munich's 2-1 success gave the German outfit the upper hand in their Champions League semi-final.
But "Los Merengues" have recorded four victories and a draw in their last five league games, scoring 17 goals in the process, giving them plenty of encouragement going into this headline European fixture.
"The analysis is simple. Our only option is to win. If not, there will be another champion this year and we will prepare for next season the way we have done in the last four years. Especially like this year because not long ago we were very much ahead as the leader. And now we are only four points behind them partly because they (Real Madrid) have stumbled a few times when they didn't expect to, and also because we haven't failed lately. So, having been so far behind them and now being so close, it is a luxury," says Guardiola.
"Fortunately in this game the key players are the ones on the pitch. And evidently what Cristiano Ronaldo (Real forward) and (Lionel) Messi (Barcelona playmaker) have done this year is really outstanding. So we (the coaches) have an influence on our teams, but in the end the players are the ones that decide what goes on. As for the secret of our victories (recently over Real), it is difficult to tell. Basically, I am part of a very strong club that has a very particular idea about sport that, as I have said many times before, it is impossible to betray.
"We must try to find some details to take more control of the game, to imagine in that way you will be better, you will have more chances to create opportunities, to score goals. I think we (both teams) know each other very well. And tomorrow we are going to try to play with the same philosophy. Now is not the time to change many things.
"We are not here to chose (between Spanish League and Champions League) - we play tomorrow and we try to win. The same is true for Tuesday (against Chelsea). And I hope tomorrow we will have a beautiful and intense game and that the best team wins."

University of Massachusetts students who love tossing a disc around will soon have a new channel for their frisbee passion.
A disc golf has been created between the residential areas of Orchard Hill and Sylvan, located on the Northeast side of campus. In contrast to Southwest's concrete jungle, the region where the course will exist features wetlands, forests and meadows - right up the alley of Brian Giggey, who received his master's degree in landscape architecture from UMass in 2010.
Giggey saw interest from UMass students but no official course. In addition to filling that void, he also hopes the course will provide educational information about the particular area of land and UMass landscape history.
"It was just basically a labor of love," said Giggey in an interview with the Daily Collegian. "To put it on the flagship University is a great way to bring attention to the sport and to the University."
Giggey has joined forces with two undergraduate students, Cole Theriault and Zack Hathaway, who are forming a registered student organization (RSO). Once the group obtains official RSO status, the University has given the go-ahead for the course, said Giggey.
A weekend or two in October or November will be dedicated to setting up the course, he said.

What is it? Resolutions is a consulting firm that helps companies improve their environmental, social and economic performance by implementing environmentally conscious practices into their business strategy. Through sustainability consulting and reporting, Wright and Johns enable businesses to become more profitable and competitive by addressing the environmental challenges facing the country.
"Maybe that means a church implementing a recycling program and correcting a wasteful water system to save money, or a bank making all of its locations energy efficient and giving 10 percent of its loans to disadvantaged people in a foreign country," Wright says. "Every industry can benefit."
History: After meeting on the soccer field and forming ties in the business world, Wright and Johns began to brainstorm their own business strategy. With backgrounds in both environmental management and corporate marketing, the pair landed on corporate sustainability reporting in 2007, in which they audited companies' environmental, social and economic impact, in order to display strengths and accountability to investors.
By 2009, their collaboration had snowballed into full-time sustainability consulting, and Resolutions was official. But the operation is better off small, Johns says, and Resolutions frequently employs specialty architects, builders and other outside environmental experts to assist with projects. "We realized early on that when we need expertise, we need to reach out and get it," Johns says. "There was a time when someone could know all the environmental laws and be an expert on everything, and that's just not the case anymore because there is so much to know."
111 Broadway,
Suite 2, Homewood
205-871-5011 thinkresolutions.com
For Wright and Johns, environmental performance and economic performance go hand in hand. "We realize a lot of people associate sustainability or green practices with a cost center, when really there is a cost savings," Johns says. "Companies do well by doing good, and
we're here to get money back into the business."
A day in the life: Education is the key, Wright says, and when the two are not meeting with local businesses, churches and organizations to find sustainable solutions, they are reaching out to the business community to discuss sustainability and build networks.
What's ahead? Resolutions is actively looking for more clients and opportunities to impact environmental efforts taking place in Alabama.
Aside from consulting, Wright and Johns are currently developing green projects, including a biomass project, in which waste wood is transformed into usable products, and brownfield projects, in which abandoned industrial land is cleaned up and redeveloped.

Cornwall-Lebanon School Board is scheduled to vote Monday night on whether to arm its school police officer.
The action comes after students were charged March 10 with plotting a school shooting the week before. But the proposed policy changes were put on the table in February, and were in discussion for more than a year in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting, said Amy Wissinger, district spokeswoman. The policies would allow the school police officer to be armed, and would establish equipment and training parameters.
David Arnold, Lebanon County district attorney, said March 10 that two 14-year-old freshman told other students "they had plans of doing a school shooting." While he didn't believe the students had weapons at school, Arnold said, "at a minimum they had access to weapons."
Juvenile allegations of making terroristic threats, attempt to commit aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy to commit aggravated assault were filed against the teens. South Lebanon Township police said the threat was reported to them at 2:17 p.m. March 6.
Superintendent Philip Domencic, in a letter to parents, said other students reported the threats to administrators.
The school board meeting begins at 5:30 p.m. in the large group instruction at Cedar Crest High School.

BEND — A new group is organizing opposition to locating a new campus for the Oregon State University-Cascades on Bend's west side.
Truth In Site, formally organized a few weeks ago, has raised concerns about traffic, parking and the availability of affordable student housing at the site chosen for the new campus.
The Bend Bulletin reports the group's meeting this week attracted around 200 attendees.
The branch school has grown rapidly and has approval to become a four-year school by 2015. It plans to locate the new campus on 56 acres on Bend's west side.
The university envisions three buildings open by fall 2015 containing student residences, classrooms, plus office and retail space.
The opposition group's spokesman, Scott Morgan, said the group supports bringing a four-year OSU-Cascades campus to Bend, but it believes the process of selecting a site was rushed by the university.
"Your grandkids are going to be living with this decision. It's not just something you decide on a whim," said Morgan, a retired CEO from the health-care industry who lives on Bend's west side with his family.
Morgan said the goal of his group is to raise enough money to hire a land-use attorney to oppose the location of the campus and to study the traffic and environmental effects of a campus at the location.
At the meeting, members of the group also raised questions about why another site — a city-owned, mostly undeveloped 1,500-acre mixed-use project on the north end of the city called Juniper Ridge — was not selected.
The university has argued developing the Juniper Ridge site was too costly.
The group's members were also concerned the 56-acre location on Bend's side would limit the future growth of the new campus.
But university officials at the meeting said the site was just the right size for the new campus and the number of projected students.
Becky Johnson, an OSU vice president and the highest-ranking administrator in Bend, said the new university campus plans to cap its size after starting with 1,900 in the fall of 2015 and would not rise above 5,000 students.
Johnson also said the time frame imposed on the university was workable and that more time would not have led to a different site selection.
"Absolutely no time element rushed us to that site, and we looked everywhere," she said.
University officials also told the opposition group that they had invited feedback at quarterly meetings, public-input meetings and through a campus committee.
The university expects $24 million in bond proceeds and donations to pay for the new campus.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same as follows:
Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, the bonds that the state treasurer may issue under section 3 of chapter 133 of the acts of 2012 shall be issued for a term not to exceed 30 years and all such bonds shall be payable by June 30, 2047, as recommended by the governor in a message to the general court dated July 3, 2012 under section 3 of Article LXII of the Amendments to the Constitution.

View full sizeIt was good to hear state officials agree that Harrisburg's $288 million debt is "unique."
Talk about an understatement.
To even begin defining the "uniqueness" of Harrisburg's debt would take a courtroom, a judge and a posse of lawyers armed with subpoena power.
Only then could Harrisburg lay bare the story of how a municipal authority in charge of garbage burning was used as an ATM by former Mayor Stephen R. Reed to forestall tax hikes and, along the way, enrich a circle of deal-making enablers.
They spent the first 14 years of Reed's tenure rebuilding Harrisburg — gaining an apparent Teflon reputation as savior — and the next 14 eating Harrisburg from the inside out.
Strains of that sordid history poured into Wednesday's hearing held by the Department of Community and Economic Development, which has been urged by Gov. Ed Rendell to declare Harrisburg a distressed city.
Former Harrisburg Authority board member Eric Papenfuse told DCED officials it was too late for Act 47. Papenfuse has been warning of the city's de facto bankruptcy since 2007, when he was in contact with the FBI about the Harrisburg Authority's bond deals and spending slush funds for Reed's artifacts and memorabilia splurges.
"The critical point is that we hand over local authority in Act 47, which is purely political: We already have Ed Rendell threatening to use the big stick of withholding state funds if we don't comply with what they want. We don't in Chapter 9," he said.
The credibility of Rendell's intervention was doused by the insistence that Scott Balice Strategies be appointed Harrisburg's financial adviser — to the tune of $850,000.
Scott Balice's sole purpose for being cut into the deal was to facilitate the sale of the city's parking garages. This threat has further exacerbated the city's aura of distrust, given the fact that Reed's downfall came when he could not force the sale of the garages in 2008 to keep the city's fiscal house of cards from falling down.
Unfortunately on Wednesday night, Reed and other actors did not make an appearance at the DCED hearing on Act 47. It would have been interesting to hear Neil Grover, a Harrisburg attorney who has started Debt Watch Harrisburg on behalf of taxpayers, cross-examine key players like Reed under oath about the making of Harrisburg's "unique" debt.
Grover's determination to hold the DCED to the law during the Act 47 hearing was a significant warning: Residents of Harrisburg are serious. They want answers, and they want due process.
"The idea is to get a full and fair hearing. This issue isn't just whether Harrisburg is in financial distress. It's whether Act 47 is appropriate. They have an obligation to look at that," Grover said.
The showdown was not solely for state officials trying to sort through Harrisburg's political and financial meltdown. In the absence of mayoral leadership on a financial plan, and without clear direction from a City Council hampered by indecision about how to proceed, Grover provided some necessary muscles.
His cross-examination of DCED officials and witnesses signaled that Harrisburg has the will to fight for a fair settlement.
"The people sitting across from us at the table know we're going to keep coming at them. But no one's paying more attention to this than the bondholders. What we're doing is changing our bargaining position," Grover said.
If there's any question that Harrisburg is a carcass ready to be picked clean, Grover said he was glad-handed by a Chicago bond dealer after the Act 47 hearing.
"He wanted to know our position on the garages," Grover said. "The vultures are out there. They see a big, giant public asset."
After a failed attempt by Reed in 2008 to lease the city's garages — a jaded, $215 million deal that many people questioned — the asset remain in play.
On Tuesday, in a move that would keep the public asset from privatization, the Harrisburg Parking Authority voted to refinance its debt and future revenues. The move, expected to close by the end of December, will free up as much as $75 million to be placed in trust for approved use by the city.
Despite questions from state advisers about the timing of the parking authority plan, the refinancing plan is legal, according to HPA solicitor Tim Anderson.
"The thinking goes this way. If the authority squirreled away money any time it had revenues, it would all revert to the city when the term of the authority expired anyway. The city would get those assets anyway," he said.
The problem with this plan is that it sounds too good to be true.
After years of deceit, after months of inaction, there's the chance for a transparent, upfront transfer of cash to the city, taking the imminent distress status off the table.
The city could then immediately seek protection under Chapter 9 bankruptcy, which it desperately needs to get a stay against lawsuits regarding the incinerator debt that further threaten the city's stability.
Once in court, the power of the judge and subpoena would compel everyone who had a part in creating this massive, irresponsible, "unique" debt to pay their part.

The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch for most of central Pennsylvania, but meteorologist Aaron Tyburski says most of the Harrisburg area is unlikely to see flooding.
The official warning is in effect through Friday morning for Cumberland, Dauphin, Perry, Lebanon, York, Adams, Lancaster, Franklin, Juniata, Mifflin, Schuylkill, Snyder and Northumberland Counties. Areas to the north, including Columbia, Montour, Lycoming, Union, Sullivan and Tioga Counties are also included in the watch area.
Rain is expected to spread over the area this afternoon as an area of low pressure from the plains rides a frontal boundary that runs along a line roughly along the Pennsylvania Turnpike, Tyburski said. The frontal boundary will carry the rain into the area "almost like a train track," bringing widespread steady rainfall totaling between 1 to 2 inches in most places.
There could be a few rumbles of thunder now and then, Tyburski said, but unlike the storms that have passed through the area the last few days, this system will be more of a steady rain.
Any flooding should be limited to smaller streams and tributaries, Tyburski said. No flooding is expected on the Susquehanna River. Areas where streams are already running high because of heavy rain earlier in the week will be most susceptible to flooding. Tyburski said that mainly applies to the southern parts of Adams, York and Lancaster Counties. Other area may have had locally heavy rain from the recent storms, but it was not widespread enough to cause major flooding concerns.
While the recent rainy conditions have put a damper on outdoor summer activities, the rain has helped all but wipe out any worries about a drought, Tyburski said. As recent as March rainfall totals in the area were running 5 inches below normal for the year. Already this month the Harrisburg area has gotten 3.5 inches of precipitation - about a half-inch more than the normal total for the entire month. Overall the midstate is now just an inch behind normal yearly totals.
Things should dry out for the weekend, Tyburski said, with a high pressure system expected to arrive Saturday, bringing sunny to partly sunny skies with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s Saturday and Sunday.

Should school ratings be available before start of new school year?
Back-to-school season is in full swing.?? Of the seven schools that Fordham authorizes, five have already opened their doors and by the middle of this week nearly all Ohio school kids will be back in classes. But it won't be till this Friday morning that the Ohio Department of Education will release annual report cards for both district and school performance.
The fact that families made determinations about where to send their children to school without the availability of academic performance data for the last school year wasn't lost on the Columbus Dispatch, which highlighted the problem in an article Sunday.
In the story, I expressed my frustration that parents are making school choice decisions for the new school year without the benefit of any data from last year. But, would such data matter? Would parents use it to make different decisions if it were available to them earlier? Maybe not, but the state surely has an obligation to make last year's performance data available to parents who might want it before they enroll their children in a charter school or an open enrollment district school this year ??? or who move to the state during the summer.
The state surely has an obligation to make last year's performance data available to parents who might want it before they enroll their children.
It is hard to stomach the thought that children have been enrolled in schools that will be rated F this year, and show little hope of being any better during 2010-11, and parents didn't have access to recent information from the state before enrolling their children in these schools.
Is it too much to ask the state to make data available in, say, July rather than the last Friday morning in August? Flypaper readers, do other states make performance data available earlier in the summer? Should we expect better in the Buckeye State?

Commuters who ride the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Red Line experienced another difficult commute Thursday evening, after a suspicious package was spotted on a train.
MBTA Transit Police officers were sent to check the item that was left on a Red Line train at Park Street.
The call came in at 3:30 p.m. for a suspicious package left on an Alewife-bound train.
The MBTA reported severe delays across the entire Red Line due to the police activity.
MBTA Transit Police gave an all-clear around 4:40 p.m., but extensive delays persisted across the entire Red Line.
On its website, the MBTA said a shuttle will run between the Kendall and Broadway Stations.
