Unlike waves, which do not actually transport water from one place to another, what do currents do?
Currents carry water great distances.
How do currents move water?
Some currents move water at the surface of the ocean, while other currents move the deep water.
How do surface currents affect the water?
Surface currents affect water to a depth of several hundred meters.
How do surface currents move if you follow the major wind patterns of the globe?
Surface currents move in circular patters in the 5 major ocean basins.
How do surface currents flow?
Surface currents flow east or west and then double back to complete the circle.
Why do currents move in these circular patterns?
As Earth rotates the paths of the winds and currents curve in relation to Earth's surface.
How does the Coriolis effect the Northern Hemisphere?
The Coriolis effect causes the currents to curve to the right.
How does the Coriolis effect the Southern Hemisphere?
The Coriolis effect causes the currents to curve to the left.
What does the Gulf Stream resemble?
The Gulf Stream resembles a fast moving, deep blue river within the ocean.
Describe the Gulf Stream.
It is more than 300 km wide, 300 m deep, and it carries a volume of water 100 times greater than the Mississippi River.
Where does the Gulf Stream carry water?
The Gulf Stream travels from the Gulf of Mexico to the Caribbean Sea, then northeast along the coast of the U.S.
What happens to the Gulf Stream near Cape Hatteras, NC?
As a result of the Coriolis effect, the Gulf Stream curves eastward across the Atlantic.
What is climate?
Climate is the pattern of temperatures and precipitations typical of an area over a long period of time.
How do currents affect climate?
Currents affect climate by moving cold and warm water around the globe.
In general, how do currents carry water?
Currents carry warm water from the tropics toward the poles and bring cold water back toward the equator.
How does a surface current influence the climate?
A surface current warms or cools the air above it, influencing the climate of the land near the coast.
What kind of climate does cold air bring?
Since cold air holds less moisture than warm air, these currents bring cool, dry weather.
What causes deep currents?
Deep currents are caused by differences in density rather than surface winds.
What happens when warm water surface currents move from the equator toward the poles?
It gradually cools off.
What happens to the salinity of the water as ice forms near the poles?
The salinity of the water increases from the salt left behind during freezing.
What happens as the water's temperature decreases and salinity increases?
The water becomes denser and sinks, then the cold water flows back along the ocean floor as deep current.
How do the deep ocean currents flow?
Deep currents follow the hills and valleys of the ocean floor. They also carry cold water from the poles back to the equator and travel much more slowly than surface currents.
What happens when surace waters and deep ocean waters mix.
Upwelling which is the upward movement of cold water from the ocean depths.
What causes upwelling?
The winds cause upwelling when they blow away the warm surface water and cold water rises to replace it.
What does upwelling do?
Upwelling brings up tiny ocean organisms, minerals, and other nutrients from the deeper layers of the water.
How does El Nino occur?
El Nino begins when tropical waters in the western Pacific heat up more than usual.
What does the warmer than usual waters do?
The warmer water causes and unusual pattern of winds to form, which push warm water from the equator toward the South American coast.
How long can El Nino last?
El Nino conditions can last for one to two years before the usual winds and currents return.
What can El Nino do?
El Nino can have disastrous consequences. It prevents upwelling off the western coast of South America.
What happens if there is no upwelling?
Without the nutrients brought up by upwelling, fish die or go elsewhere to find food, ruining the fishing catch that season.

If you have multiple computers, it's a problem you've run into before: how do you keep your files synchronized across all of them?
You could e-mail documents to yourself or, if the files are large, you might store them on a portable flash drive.
Google would like to suggest you try the new Google Drive instead, a free and elegant solution.
Sign up for a Google Drive at drive.google.com. A free account gets you 5GB of online storage (or cloud storage, if you like). You can access your online drive right from your desktop, whether you're using a Macintosh or Windows computer.
Documents stored on a Google Drive are automatically synchronized across all your devices. You can finish working on a document on your work computer, save it, then open it at home and continue working.
Google Drive is good for more than just documents. You can store any type of file there that you'd like.
Because this is a Google product, search tools are built right in. That means you can quickly search through your files to get the one you're looking for. Google indexes not just the file names, but the contents of the files themselves.
To help you get working, Google Drive also includes Google's suite of online office tools: a word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation application.
There are plenty of products already in this space. I use Windows Live Mesh, which works so quickly and easily that I won't be switching. Google Drive is seen as a big threat to Dropbox, an online storage tool that's been enjoying quite a bit of popularity lately.
While Google hasn't created something new here, it's created a useful and worthwhile product that's sure to find an audience. For those with multiple computers, simple online storage is now an essential.

The Jive Apps Market is a secure marketplace for purchasing third-party enterprise apps, or apps you develop, within the Jive platform.
Because third-party Apps are cloud-delivered, users are always accessing the latest version of a given App. Partners can use only our published APIs.
Here's how it works:
Jive Software relies on its own Apps-approval and QA process to approve or deny candidate Apps submitted by Apps partners and developers. Third-party apps available from the Jive Apps Market undergo high-level functional validation.
The security of an individual App is ultimately the responsibility of the App provider. Apps are offered as-is by Jive Software.
All communication between the Jive instance and the Apps Market is authenticated with OAuth. The Apps Market uses a secure gateway proxy service to get information into and out of individual apps without transmitting or storing proprietary data. All credit card information is stored separately from the Apps Market by a PCI-compliant vendor.
Communication from a Jive App to the Jive instance is typically done via HTTPS. Jive Software does not guarantee or require that communication from an app to its home server be over HTTPS. Nor do we mandate or guarantee that the request is signed via OAuth.
An app running inside of Jive can create content and communicate directly with Jive via the JavaScript APIs that Jive Software provides. In this scenario, the user is running the app inside of the Jive instance.
Each time a user launches an app from the Apps Market, the Jive instance verifies that user has rights to use the app. The app's definition (app.xml) itself is served from the Jive SaaS infrastructure at runtime.
The Jive Apps Market stores data in Jive Software's data storage center in the United States. The Apps Market does not encrypt Apps, user IDs, and mappings in storage. All credit card and personal identity information for Apps billing is stored outside of Jive with a PCI-compliant provider. Apps data is stored in a database and memecache. Databases are not publicly addressable. Jive stores Apps gadget XML, app IDs, user IDs, and mappings between them for an indefinite period of time. Data is backed up daily.
All data transmissions in and out of our databases are SSL encrypted, which includes JSON over HTTP for services, JDBC for database, and HTTP. Only app metadata is transmitted. Proprietary data is never transmitted.
Third-party social business applications that integrate with Jive via the Jive Apps Market may use data from the Jive instance in their business logic that allows them to post and work with content and information in the Jive instance. For example, a third-party app could be logically tied to a social group in the Jive instance so that updates to app content are posted in the associated Jive social group. Here are some examples of how that would work:
If your Jive community is deployed behind your organization's firewall, only you have access to your Apps data. If your Jive community is hosted by Jive Software, your data will be accessed only as needed to support your instance, and is kept strictly confidential.
The Appsmarket App does not use any cookies. However, the following cookies are used by the Dev Console and Admin Console as described:

If someone were to rename "paleo" to something more PC, and brand it as the diet that allows everything in the world except processed foods, and not talk so much about F-P-C and calories, it would take off and be very popular--except with the food manufacturer's and the government. There are a lot of big groups that really, really want us all eating wheat, corn, vegetable oil, MSG, and artificial sweeteners.
I've never been a conspiracy theorist, but a lot of corporations stand to lose if many more people are eating paleo.
There are millions of species of animals in the world.
There are millions of species of plants in the world.
Care to tell me what a million squared is?
It's one trillion.
There are then countless species of nuts and plenty dairy options to explore. There are literally trillions of food combinations out there - for all intents and purposes, an infinity of combinations since it will be impossible for any person to explore them all - and you're saying it's restrictive? Why? Because you can't eat oatmeal, crackers, soda and other crap that didn't exist until a few centuries ago? We survived for 2.5 million years on this "restrictive diet" and somehow not eating peanut butter and jelly makes it difficult?
I don't follow.
It's not a fad. People's iterations are fads. Real food can never be a fad, and if you think Paleo is a fad diet then you don't know what Paleo actually is.
Those dinners, my friends, are not fads. They are staples of mankind and will never grow old.
BTW, I'm truly sorry for torturing you all with those pictures!!!

I'm not sure if you're suggesting that PTH is only relevant to those on dialysis—it isn't.
Sometimes experimenting with thyroid is warranted.
Thanks for the links on the salt you gave me. Are there any links that don't trace back to Ray Peat?
From what I can tell, salt is 'bad' for you because it increases your blood pressure. I've seen my blood pressure go from 160/100 to 120/80 with the switch to primal, so I have no concerns on that score.
What I do want to find out is what the positive effects of salt on the body are.
Disclaimer: I eat 'meat and vegetables' ala Primal, although I don't agree with the carb curve. I like Perfect Health Diet and WAPF Lactofermentation a lot.

Love It!!
Posted 12/26/2014 by KA
I love this eye cream. I have sensitive skin and eyes and this is one of the few products I can tolerate and it actually works!
Great for sensitive skin!
Posted 12/28/2010 by Prettytastyreviews.blogspot.com
Received this eye cream in the latest Beauty Cache. Was not too sure if this product would be ok for my sensitive skin- usually I can not use anything with acids in the eye area. But to my surprise, the Nucelle cream was fine. No sensitivity issues there. The cream is also light enough to use during the day. If your eye area is dry, you might want something richer! Also if you have any cosmetics that you have a problem with the tube cracking or a face mask you do not want drying out...you can always put the product in a Ziplock bag and keep it from drying out. I have been doing this with some clay masks I bought at Skincarerx and no more ruined dried out masks (or products)!. This tip also works well for sample packets if you do not want to use them up in one go!

I have tried countless eye creams for 30 years, they all made my under eye area puffy. I would get little pockets of fluid and it was frustrating! This is the only eye cream that does not make my eyes puffy. It is very moisturizing. I wish it would fade the little brown spots of melasma around my eyes but it does work extremely well as a dependable, moisturizing and non-puff making eye cream and that says alot!!
Posted 11/19/2009 by T
I love this eye creme. I bought and had gone through 2 tubes. But half way through the area where the caps screw on cracks open and the product is exposed. I thought it was my fault first time around but I think the packaging needs to change or updated. I really love this stuff but I hate to put my money to waste. But I want to purchase my 3rd tube. *sigh*

Man of the House
Some movies are so bad these days that you don't actually have to see them to know what's going to happen or how most of the jokes will develop, but that's how it is when filmmakers estimate their audience's cumulative IQ at about 90. With both this film and "The Pacifier" (which are almost the same film), one need only watch the trailer to figure out the entire plot and every joke.
I will say that I couldn't have predicted that Texas Ranger Roland Sharp (Tommy Lee Jones) would stick his hand up a cow's ass. But since this is the third film in which I've seen somebody stick his hand up a cow's ass, I can only assume that fourth such incident looms somewhere in my immediate cinematic future. Such is the evolution of cinema: The ratio of films in which a character sticks his hand up a cow's ass to those in which a character does not has just increased ever-so-slightly.
However, knowing that Sharp is assigned to protect a group of cheerleaders who've witnessed a murder made prediction a simple matter. One only needs to understand how the mind of the mediocre Hollywood scriptwriter works. Simply put: It doesn't. Sharp is divorced and somewhat estranged from his own daughter. He's also self-serious beyond belief. This means that several uncomfortable confrontations with women's undergarments and feminine hygiene products are a virtual guarantee.
For a little added spice, the writers toss in a love interest for Sharp in the form of Professor Molly McCarthy, which reminded me of the exact same scene in Rodney Dangerfield's "Back to School" both for its plagiarism and the fact that nobody believed the Professor would fall for Rodney. Nobody believes it here either: Sophisticated, beautiful, Ph.D. falls for simpleton doofus.
The real sad thing here is the supposition made by the writers. They assume that by accentuating the seriousness of the Tommy Lee Jones character to the point of caricature, they're increasing the humor factor because they're increasing the contrast between the character and his charges. While the "fish out of water" scenario is a standard comedic platform, it's been so overused that bad writers exaggerate it to no purpose at all. It's like dumping a second bucket of paint on the head of an unsuspecting passerby.
Amazingly though, "Man of the House" is actually a smarter film than "The Pacifier." At least in this film, director Stephen "The Mighty Ducks" Herek doesn't even pretend that the audience won't immediately figure out who the bad guy is. To his credit and the writers, they actually try to differentiate between cheerleaders. Sadly, that makes "Man of the House" barely watchable, a distinguishing characteristic that differentiates it from "The Pacifier," which is like comparing two different kinds of skunk feces.

Dimitra "Mimi" Kostos recently found out that the dairy cows that live at Creamy Acres Farm in South Harrison Township are quite pampered.
"The cows really are treated like royalty," she said. "Because if they're not, they don't produce."
Kostos recently spent a day on the farm after she won the Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association's VIP Dairy Farm Experience contest.
Philadelphian Kostos, the director of food services for the Chichester School District in Pennsylvania and the head of the Wellness Committee there, said she decided to enter the contest to learn about dairy products and where they come from.
"I had to write, in 50 words or less, why I wanted to win the VIP experience," she said.
Kostos and her fiancé, Luis Barrios, began their 24-hour dairy farming experience early on the morning of Oct. 8.
"That morning, we were up and milking the cows by 5:45 a.m.," she said. "They actually saved the milking for last. It's usually done by 6 o'clock."
Kostos said the Creamy Acre cows aren't normally milked by hand, but she got to experience the way it was done in the old days.
"Then they hooked the cows up to the automatic milking machines and showed us how it goes through sterilized pipes, and how clean everything is," Kostos said. "They do that twice a day. It's a huge process."
Larry Ambruster, who oversees the dairy operation at Creamy Acres, and his daughter, Stacey Harrell, greenhouse manager, hosted Kostos and Barrios for their day at the farm.
"Mimi was very excited to be here and she made it easy for us to share our farm with her," Harrell said. "She loved every minute of it."
Harrell said the Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association approached Creamy Acres' owners and asked if they would participate in the VIP Dairy Experience.
She said they decided to welcome a winner to their farm "to share with her all the ins and outs of dairy farming and family life on the farm."
"It was so awesome," Kostos said. "The whole family was so welcoming. They treated us like family. It's truly a family-owned and operated farm."
Kostos said Ambruster and Harrell demonstrated every possible aspect of the farm, from milking to sampling the milk, to feeding the cows, to the milk being taken away by truck.
"You don't think about what goes into it — how they mix the food with nutrients for the cows and everything," she said. "There was one area where there was dry corn, then they mixed it with apple pieces from a cider farm that gives them the scraps and then they add bags of nutrients."
Barrios, who is originally from Peru, also enjoyed his time at Creamy Acres.
"It really took him back to a time with his family and grandparents," Kostos said. "He said it was the best experience."
Kostos hopes to share her experience and the information she learned with the children of the Chichester School District.
"I loved the entire experience, but to actually see it (milk) go from the milking, to the end and see it taken away, knowing it's going to the children, was amazing," Kostos said.
The Dairy Farm Experience is part of a year-long campaign by the dairy association coordinated under the tagline, "Your Milk Comes from a Good Place," which includes sampling events, social media outreach and classroom visits by farmers to grade schools throughout the region.
For the Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association, the contest is a chance to help consumers understand where their milk comes from and shine a spotlight on the hard work and dedication of local dairy farm families.
"This is a great opportunity for us to highlight the hard work and passion of America's dairy farmers, but also the process of how dairy products are created and how well today's dairy cows are treated," said Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association CEO Patricia Purcell.

Colonial Revival 2-Light Drop Pan Fixture w/Painted Shades, c1922 Item # R3031
The 1920s saw the convergence of two popular trends – the Colonial Revival and the stamped pan light. Combined in countless ways, Colonial pan lights were ubiquitous in all types of houses – from bungalows to foursquares to Dutch Colonials – yet they always felt right at home with their clean lines, restrained detailing, and casually formal character.
This example features boldly matching acanthus-inspired relief on the canopy, the pan, and even the shadeholders – very unusual. The elegant bell-shaped shades are enhanced by delicate molded detail and a light pink tinting that brings out the design. Each also sports a unique hand-painted vignette in a circular cartouche. This beautiful small chandelier might have hung in an entry, a stairway, a breakfast nook, or a bedroom.
- Historical Style: Colonial Revival
- Notes: Pink tint varies between the shades.

More than 100 angry commuters and union members were pitted against each other Tuesday night at a meeting called to hear public comment on the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's proposal to hike PATH fares and Hudson River and Staten Island crossing tolls.
No increase since 2008, They are due, And if it will create work for 10 yrs for many.... Go for it, We need the work and if you work in N.Y. and live in Jersey -- oh well !!!
Hey Tommy, I know what! Why don't we raise YOUR taxes 65 percent Oh well!! That's what this is, a back door tax hike, and I do mean back door.
Due? Inflation has been 5 percent since 2008. How do figure a 65 percent increase is "due"? I'm shocked at the willingness of hardhats to support the PA, mugging their neighbors for money. Why don't they just do it themselves and take the PA out of the loop?
Tommy, so you are saying that people that work in NY should not live in NJ? Then how do you expect the tunnels, trains, and PATH to make any money if people should not commute? Therefore you will still be out of work if people stop commuting. Because of these increases people will work in their local state for less money and still make about the same because they don't have to pay extra for the commute.
Hey P.A.... Why not make your Police Department pay into their pension like the rest of us. That's right people -- they work 25 years and don't pay for a thing, then, they get the average of the 3 highest pay years and that is used as their retirement salary. Great huh. Well, guess what, we are paying for that.
That hearing was nothing more than a sideshow put on by the Port Authority - a totally bloated and ineffective agency that has a long reputation of being wasteful and mismanaged. According to various news reports, these meeting were attended by one person with voting authority (the chief operating officer).
These fare increases will do nothing but cause further hardship to already cash-strapped families. We are already paying increased prices for food, utilities, taxes, etc. Now the Port Authority wants to make it difficult for us to afford to commute to the job that we desperately need to get by! We all know that the increase in tolls will inevitably mean an increase in bus fares. You can't escape it! ...
Ray Pocino is a commissioner of Port Authority. If you read his bio, he is part of LiUNA, the men wore the LiUNA orange shirts at the hearings!
This was nothing but a dog and pony show!
NJ & NY residents are being compelled to pay for the new World Trade Center. WHY?
Why isn't the Federal Government paying for it?
And why do WE have to pay for the raising of the Bayonne Bridge. Why aren't the shipping companies paying for that. It will get their loads to market quicker and cheaper, therefore they will benefit the most.
And NJ will be paying the most in that it is people from NJ that must travel to NY for their jobs.
This is a GIANT RIPOFF.
I love how members of certain organizations and unions come out in favor of proposals that will hurt absolutely everyone in the area, except them. Raise the PATH fare and tolls a ridiculous amount? Fine, as long as a few of my buddies get some extra hours. Never mind that the Port Authority is almost sure to overestimate the "job creation" side of this proposal.
Run a dangerous gas pipeline through residential neighborhoods? Fine, says the Jersey City Police Benevolent Association, as long as some of our guys get overtime watching over construction sites.
Both Liuna and the JCPBA have lost all their credibility with the public. It's no wonder that unions are struggling in this country: First they are getting hit hard by the GOP and corporations, and second they are selling out their neighbors for some extra pay.

Oyster Hotel Photos
Oyster Hotel Review
Underneath the Manhattan Bridge, in the center of bustling Chinatown, Hotel 91 is in one of the loudest, smelliest, most congested areas of Manhattan.
Hotel 91 is situated between a multitude of very authentic Chinese stores, markets, and restaurants. Yet compared to Canal Street, just two blocks north, where it is impossible to escape vendor after vendor pushing you to by the latest knockoff Prada bag, Hotel 91 is located on a calmer, more hands-off street. Plus, it is just two blocks away from famous Joe's Shanghai -- a must visit for its authentic Chinese dumplings.
Lined with old tenement buildings and a few cobblestoned streets, Chinatown -- and its ever-shrinking neighbor, Little Italy -- offer cultural charm by way of instant immersion -- most restaurants and shops sell imported goods and the great majority of signs and storefronts advertise in Chinese. To most tourists, its biggest draw is the abundance of outdoor vendors and shabby markets, where you can buy name-brand look-alikes for cheap (like a pair of Guccci sunglasses or Nikie flip-flops). Just above Chinatown, in the Lower East Side, there's a bit of a hip bar scene -- and the trendy new Thompson LES -- and some of the nighlife does trickle down into Chinatown, which has a handful of swanky, but discrete, bars and lounges.
But while it's fun to visit, staying in Chinatown can be a bit unpleasent -- constant crowds, traffic, and, in most parts, there's considerable garbage along the streets that draws a large population of rats. Expect to smell hundreds of rotting fish heads.
- Two blocks from the F subway line; five blocks from the B, D lines; six blocks to the J, M, Z lines; 10 blocks to the 6 line -- relatively easy access to Manhattan's young, hip, Lower East Side, Midtown West attractions, and the Upper West Side.
- 35-minute subway ride to Central Park
- 25-minute subway ride to Times Square
- 20-minute subway ride to the Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center
- 20-minute bus ride to the ferry terminal to visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island
- 30-minute subway ride to the American Museum of Natural History
- 40-minute subway ride to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (the "Met") and a 25-minute subway ride to the Museum of Modern Art (the "MoMA")

Rooms and Rates
Airport Transportation
About 30 to 90 minutes from three airports
New York has three nearby airports: JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark (in New Jersey). Getting to town from JFK or LaGuardia is usually more convenient than getting there from Newark, but travel times are heavily dependent on the time of day and traffic conditions. From JFK, a taxi to anywhere in Manhattan costs a flat rate of $45 and takes around an hour in average conditions. From LaGuardia, a metered cab ride to midtown Manhattan costs about $40 and can take 30 minutes if traffic is light, three times that if it's bad. Rides from Newark cost at least $40 (plus tolls) and can take more than 90 minutes. It's customary to tip your driver 15 to 25 percent.
Those looking to save some cash can use the privately run shuttle buses that are available at all three airports for about $14 per person. For more information on the shuttles, go to Super Shuttle or New York Airport Service. Public transit is also available for as little as $7 per person, but travel can take up to two hours and involve a lot of lugging bags up and down stairways.

The pilot killed in this weekend's New York plane and helicopter collision was a wealthy Jewish philanthropist who used the plane in which he died in to transport sick people to hospital for charity.
Steven Altman, 60, a property tycoon from Ambler, near Philadelphia, was flying the plane in clear weather, with his brother Daniel and his 15-year-old nephew Douglas when he hit a helicopter and crashed into the Hudson River, Manhattan.
He was a long-time volunteer pilot for charity 'Angel Flights East' which flies sick people to and from faraway hospitals for free, but was on a family flight to the beach town of Ocean City in New Jersey.
All three were killed in the crash, as were the five Italian tourists who were in the helicopter and its pilot.
Mr Altman, a father of three, owned Altman Management Company and more than 14,000 apartments in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey.
FAA records showed Mr Altman gained his flying licence in 1998, and had a clean record, with the training to fly in poor weather in his Piper PA-32 single engine plane.
Bruce Toll, co-founder of homebuilder Toll Brothers said the Altman family were prominent in property circles and were extremely active in local Jewish charities and were involved in their local synagogue.

The mag release is so stiff that I practically have to push it against a wooden table top or chair back. 2. When I move the mag release and remove the mag, the slide closes. I have also tried depressing the retaining latch under the barrel muzzle to rotate the retaining rod counter clockwise. No dice. The retaining latch depresses but the retaining rod doesn't rotate. What now?

Istanbul celebrates carnival after nearly 70 years
Istanbul's tiny Greek community has revived an all-but-extinct tradition by celebrating Bakla Horani, an evening of carousing at the end of carnival ahead of Lent. About 300 masked, painted and costumed revelers paraded on Monday through the streets of Istanbul's Kurtulus district, known as Tatavla when it was home to Greeks decades ago.
Dracula goes dry as Turkey's new drink rules bite

Along Istanbul's busy Eminönü waterfront, women swathed in dark coats and scarves knotted once under the chin jostle past others clad in vivid colors and head coverings carefully sculpted around the face. Two decades ago such a polished, pious look scarcely existed in Turkey. But today it has the highest profile exponents in First Lady Hayrünnisa Gül and Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's wife Emine, and the brands behind it plan ambitious expansion.

Catholics and Orthodox report promising progress in latest round of unity talks
Roman Catholic and Orthodox theologians reported promising progress on Friday in talks on overcoming their Great Schism of 1054 and bringing the two largest denominations in Christianity back to full communion. Experts meeting in Vienna this week agreed the two could eventually become "sister churches" that recognize the Roman pope as their titular head but retain many church structures, liturgy and customs that developed over the past millennium.

Pretty hilarious scene at the El Paso airport on Wednesday:
A festive welcome party greeted the Oregon football team, complete with a mariachi band, folklorico dancers and the Sun Bowl princesses.
Now, it seemed to me that many of the players' eyes were focused on those college-aged princesses, who were named to the Sun Court in August. But when the smiling ladies tried to approach the players to dance with them, the majority of the Ducks ran off like they were Jonathan Stewart in the open field.
Sophomore running back Andre Crenshaw was among the quickest to dart away, faking like he had to go to the bathroom to escape. Many of the Ducks chosen to dance in the circle - as a large crowd watched - were younger players, with two notable exceptions.
Junior Patrick Chung, displaying the best rhythm, and senior Kwame Agyeman, flashing the biggest smile, were brave enough to start dancing.
"She was talking to me while I was dancing with her, telling me what to do," Chung said of a Sun Bowl princess. "So I was like, 'OK, I'll just follow your lead.' It was fun, and I got to learn how to do a little stutter-step. ... Of course I'm going to go dance. That's why we're here: to have fun and play the game."
Agyeman may not have been as eager as Chung to bust a move, but he also enjoyed the experience.
"I'm not trying to be dancing there, but I got grabbed into it," Agyeman said. "It was fun to get outside of your shell a little bit and do something different."
Oregon coach Mike Bellotti got a kick out of the scene and said he wants his players to enjoy their experience this week - but obviously not too much. Bellotti said the team has a 2 a.m. curfew Wednesday night, a 1 a.m. curfew Thursday night and a midnight curfew on Friday night.
"Unless somebody screws up and then there won't be anybody going out," said Bellotti, adding that the players aren't allowed to cross the nearby border into Mexico.
Probably a good rule for sportswriters, too.

Big bluefish are on the menu again for party boat anglers, but they'll have to take a long ride to get them. There can't be much of a profit for party boats when they have to run 30 miles offshore, but it's that or stay inshore and bottom fish. Capt. Jimmy Elliott had the Golden Eagle from Belmar out there today for lots of 8-to-12-pound blues on both bait and jigs. The most skilled anglers managed limits despite the shorter fishing period. The Golden Eagle will be making that run day and night.
The Jamaica from Brielle no sooner announced a change to bottom fishing, than they returned to bluefishing day and night despite the long journey.
Fluking in Ambrose Channel was very good again today on the outgoing tide. Capt. Stan Zagleski reported good numbers of keepers on his Elaine B. from Bahrs in Highlands. Rich Marienthal of Butler had four up to the 4-pound pool winner.
Joe Melillo, at Castaway's Tackle in Point Pleasant, caught hickory shad plus a 12-to-13-inch weakfish while casting Tuesday morning at Bay Head, but there were also some school bass caught this morning.

What a dog, right market player? LMAO
actually EPD needs to bump the rate yet again early next year
Just read a piece on PAA.... interesting how they are growing their dist so much quicker than EPD and are kickin EPDs butt when it comes to unit appreciation
Lookin at that chart... given how EPDs financial results are so much better than PAAs... you should stop laughin and start cryin out loud for much larger chunks of the distributal cash flow to flow to the partners
Take the time to try and comprehend whats at hand... you may want to note that PAAs yield is the same 4.7% as EPDs... with their distribution growing at a greater rate they will continue to kick EPDs butt in the unit appreciation
so you are going to sell your EPD stake and buy PAA? If you even own any EPD.

During my first 3 grows I've had problems keeping the ph at or around 5.8 cause my ph rises and I have to reset back down and it then rises again to 6.0 range. My question is if I soak the plugs in a ph of 5.0 instead of 6.0 would that help me keep my ph a little lower ??

By STEPHEN KEEFE
We have a very important election this year and I feel obligated to share information with you prior to the election.
I have had the opportunity to meet all three candidates who campaigned in the Democratic Primary for our new congressional seat. All three candidates had great credentials, education, experience and social skills. I gave my endorsement to Nate Shinagawa because of the manner in which he embraced the issues that are most important to me: affordable health care, quality education and the ability for workers to earn a living wage.
In a small article in the OBSERVER I saw that Congressman Tom Reed had scheduled a Town Hall Meeting at the Fredonia Village Hall on a Saturday morning. I attended the meeting, introduced myself, and welcomed Congressman Reed to the village of Fredonia. Congressman Reed introduced himself to the group of about eight as "a Tea Party Candidate." This Tea Party Candidate is under contract with Grover Norquist and Grover Norquist controls his votes.
Congressman Reed's aide handed out literature that stated Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are entitlements that need to be repealed. Congressman Reed also pointed out that fewer restrictions need to be placed on hydraulic gas fracking in order for New York state to be more competitive.
A question was asked about taxes. Congressman Reed stated that he would not raise taxes on anyone. Someone asked about raising taxes on the top 1 percent. His answer was, "I don't see how raising the taxes for us will help anything." I asked, "Are you a member of the 1 percent?" He stuttered a bit and said, "No, I mean all of us." When I left Congressman Reed was still talking with people upstairs. I waited for him at the Farmer's Market in front of the village hall. My intention was to introduce him to our local farmers and community. He exited through the side door instead.
I have followed Congressman Reed's voting record in the OBSERVER and found him generally in opposition with Congressman Higgins. He has voted against conserving the environment, veteran benefits and against our senior's interest by voting to privatize Medicare. He intentionally ignored a jobs bill, the Farm Bill, and gets in the way of women's private medical decisions.
Recently I was appalled by the fact that Congressman Reed, after agreeing to participate in the debate sponsored by the League of Women Voters in Chautauqua County, backed out. In addition to this the OBSERVER reported that Congressman Reed is in support of purchasing electricity from government subsidized plants in Canada while our local NRG is laying off workers and reducing electric production.
Nate Shinagawa, on the other hand, has been actively involved with the issues that are important to Chautauqua County. He is open and approachable. A conversation with Mr. Shinagawa is full of optimism, and gives me hope for a government that works for the people of this district. I recommend that everyone take the time to get to know Mr. Shinagawa. He has earned my support and vote, and I hope he can count on you also.
Stephen Keefe is mayor of the village of Fredonia.

Young sports role models in Trinidad and Tobago
Fifteen-year-old Sheriece is a pupil at El Dorado School in Trinidad. She lives on a large estate where young people are often involved in crime. Several young people have been killed in the car park outside the apartment she shares with her aunt and brother.
"She's not had an easy life growing up", says Sheriece's mother, who was concerned about her daughter growing up with gun and knife crime rife in her community.
Sheriece was selected to train as a young leader with International Inspiration, the legacy programme of the 2012 London Olympics, and she began assisting and planning sports events in the local community.
Before becoming involved in the programme Sheriece's future prospects were bleak; becoming a young leader has changed her outlook on life.
"Being involved in International Inspiration has changed my perspective on a lot of things," she says. "Sometimes things are hard so it's nice to be able to meet new people through sports, to have fun as a team and to get away from the negativity. Becoming a young leader has helped me feel like I am able to have a positive influence on others."

Michael Jackson is being trained by Lou Ferrigno. I usually don't write about either party – but how can I NOT bring this one up?
The 'Incredible Hulk' actor is paying secret visits to the 'Thriller' star's Los Angeles home to help him prepare for his forthcoming 'This Is It' run of shows at London's O2 arena.
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper:
"Lou has been visiting Michael to build him up so he can perform his dance routines.
"But Michael refuses to lift weights. He doesn't want to bulk up."
I think it is literally impossible for Michael to bulk up. In the 40 plus years he's been in the Entertainment industry, Michael has been a string bean at best.
The 50-year-old singer – who weighs a reported 126lbs and eats just one meal a day – is reportedly battling skin cancer and is said to be terrified gaining weight will damage his chances of beating the disease.
Michael and Lou struck up a friendship two years ago when the 'Bad' singer began using the 57-year-old actor's gym.
Lou said at the time:
"Michael is more delicate. Our trainer conditioned him for dancing.
"He likes me, he feels safe with me. He was nervous about people looking at him when he's training."
Aw… that's sad and so true. Imagine going to the gym and noticing Michael Jackson lifting weights or on the treadmill?
Last month, it was revealed the 'Beat It' star would kick off his concert run on July 13, five days later than originally planned.
Shows scheduled to take place on July 10, 12 and 14 have been moved to the end of the residency in March 2010.

The Indian Express has published an interview with reigning world chess champion Viswanathan Anand, covering his thoughts on the 2013 Candidates Tournament in London, and how he assesses the winner, world #1, and now his title challenger, Magnus Carlsen.
The dates and venue for the match between Anand and Carlsen is not yet known, but November 2013 in either India or Norway is the best bet at the moment.
The full interview can be read here. Extracts are below.
Vishy Anand...
...on the Candidates Tournament"It has been maybe the best ever Candidates tournament in history...the fact that anything could have happened till the last day, till the last hour in fact, makes this simply an unbelievable tournament."
...on KramnikKramnik losing out on the tie-break rule was quite tragic...It was not like I was rooting for him as my opponent, but by round 13 I felt he was the one who deserved to win and his chess had impressed me the most...The tragedy of the tournament is in some sense Kramnik, not that Magnus didn't deserve to win, but if Vlady had pulled it off, he would have proven something.
...on the tie-break ruleI do feel it's crazy that two people tied on the same score and it is decided by something which is essentially a lottery...My point is not that it is unfair, it was perfectly fair once everyone knew it in advance. My point is that it is not ideal. That's the distinction I want to make.
...on facing Magnus CarlsenI'm fully aware of the magnitude of the task facing me, and Magnus' rank and rating speak for themselves. Having said that I don't feel any obligation to follow the predictions. That's what we are playing the match for. To have a chance to write our own script.
@suzana69... "allowing weaker players to explore sharp tactical variations"... before the advent of computers "weaker" players from wealthier families would hire a soviet GM for $20/hr and buy countless of expensive books.
But if all "weaker" players were susceptible to "buying" their way to being masters then there should be at least 600,000 GMs in the US alone. Yes computers have made access to games easier and cheaper, but it still takes an exceptional mind to understand the strategy behind games and use suitable variations OTB... otherwise @susana69 you wouldn't be stuck at 1600 for 4yrs running given your great investment in Rybka chess engines over the last 6yrs!
Well Said Marcokim. Asante Sana...
@suzana69... the same argument was put forward by olympic athletes a century ago saying that allowing people to run with shoes will make everyone an olympic champion... 100yrs down the line I am still waiting for my olympic medal.
... in the past GMs used to help each other prepare meaning a Soviet GM will have a bigger advantage than a GM from Comoros. If someone can use openly available technology to gain a fair advantage then so be it... otherwise the corollary to your argument is that the world championship should be between players from the wilderness.
Computer technology is available and powerful but it still takes an exceptional mind to understand strategy and to recall memorized theory when it is needed OTB... otherwise we would all be GMs. There is still an endless amout of tactical and strategic possibilities in chess and I don't beleive we are so special that the limit will happen in our lifetime.
@clippi... good analysis but I think the point being made is that Magnus is not as dominating as Fischer or Kasparov were... he was a bit lucky to qualify. He is the best, but i won't bet all my money that he will beat Anand.
IMHO the guys ranting at Magnus' performance (2 losses) at the Candidates did not really think about it very deeply. Although he certainly did not show his highest quality throughout the tournament, this has reasons:
1. Magnus wants to win every game. This can be seen in the loss vs. Ivanchuk that he could probably have drawn quite easily after ...a5 although the opening was not very good ... But he tried to go for complications, lost his way and self-destructed. Even Ivanchuk stated that he had not done anything special. How it can go the other way around was shown against Radjabov, where he won that super-important game in the penultimate round after 7 hours of playing. Here his perseverance and will was rewarded.
2. The game vs. Svidler was well played by Svidler, but only won due to Magnus keeping complications - which backfired badly because of timetrouble. And Ivanchuk once against was responsible, as Magnus had to keep track of Kramnik's game. If Kramnik was going to win, then Magnus would have had to win as well, so he could not easily go into a drawn line. He had to keep complications alive, and to wait for Ivanchuk to clarify things. This forced Magnus into quite a difficult situation! Thus, in timetrouble, he failed to find the game-saving resource Bd5 at some point, which is very understandable as it is very deep and impossible to see with seconds on the clock. Kramnik also had the same problem, but even worse as his position was worse than Ivanchuk's the whole time and his situation oddly forced him to play for a win. That is what actually made the last round so breathtaking!
3. Magnus has time to prepare as well! He showed that he is much better at grinding out tiny advantages even from seemingly drawn positions than Anand. When have you seen Anand try to press a drawn position? Magnus has got so many wins out of it - if he pairs this ability with good openings to gain an advantage instead of a solid but equal position (which he will surely try to aim for), then he will be even more dangerous.
Together with his fitness and will this will give him the title. That's what I believe. However, that's the great thing about a match: We won't know in advance. Anything can happen. Close to nobody thought - for example - that Gelfand could come so close to winning the title! And in case Anand wins, he deserves it. That's true for both players.
Anand wil playing with Carlsen....Uhmm...Amazing battle, My prediction..Carlsen will be take the Anand's Crown with a decesive game.
Plenty of respect to all the top guys and I hope the best man wins:
My softened stance has come as a result of the ass whopping I underwent last weekend at the hands of some 14yr old FM kid from Turkey (i didn't know he was rated 2300+)... anyway he beat me 5/0 on a blitz session, then went ahead to beat me 4.5/0.5 with knight odds (he plays without one knight)... to drown my sorrows I went and had some whiskey and decided to start fishing or something... (don't look at my rating)... my wife knows I spend hours playing blitz instead of playing guitar with my daughter (pictured).... sob..sob..sob..
...hence my newly found humility...
india has many gms, gm adhiban , anand , harikrishna , sasikiran , ganguly to name but a few.
This has to be the top air-head comment on the blog. Well you might start by trying Arzabaijan (Kasparov), Armenia (Aronian), Ukrain (Ivanchuk), India (Anand and Giri), and Zimbabwe (has 3 GMs would u believe!)... all 3rd world countries..."
Forrie: Learn your facts. Anish Giri is not from India. He is from Netherlands (Father Nepalese and mother Russian....). I hate the fact that people use assumptions to make a point.
It all depends on Carlsens father... if Carlsens father is around to bathe him and give him a massage after each match he will be fine... BTW Carlsen should tell his chaperone dad to get a life and quit stalking him from championship to championship... how does the guy even get laid with daddy all over his behind.
So think We should play until there is a winner, not a drawing machine, Until this takes place we will not grow.
@nqi You're right, I forgot about Topalov.
we will have an intense world championship match
"comment by zezpwn44 "If the World Champion was simply the player with the highest rating, the top players would never play each other. They wouldbe busy going to third-world countries and beating up on all the players they could to boost their rating with no risk."
Seems like the 1st world have a lot of catching up to do....
Thanks for the link vistascan.

Your statement is hypothetical at best. Its like saying Usain Bolt should race fat sub-urban soccer moms to boost his winning record in the 100m.
Better still instead of playing 3rd world players (in some jungle somewhere)... why not just play in an under 10yr junior tournament in Chicago, lie about your age and bring your mommy along... how about that:) at least in the States they give out free food and cookies:)
The championship will be held in Chennai, India
Both Anand and Carlsen are deserving winners. It can at best be a guess who would actually win. Calsen was tired towards the end of the Candidates, which was approximately of the same duration as the 'would be' World Championship Match (12 to 16 games). So one can expect odd results during the second half of the match. First half can be expected to be roughly equal. My personal prediction is Anand will win. But I may be wrong. If Anand does not lose any game, he retains the title. It is not for nothing that Anand has been practicing to draw games ever since he has won the title. Tournament after tournament, he has been perfecting his drawing skills. He has not deviated from this course, even though kibitzers have been speaking very harshly and unfairly about his abilities. His drawing efforts will produce results in the coming title match. His home preparations would surprise Carlsen and produce 1 or 2 spectacular wins. Result: Anand would retain the title.
However, if Carlsen can stretch every game to 60+ moves without agreeing to draw, his youthful energy might prevail over the champion in the long run.
I think the World Championship should always be held in the title holders own Country. Only fair. And any tie on score should leave the title in the hands of the reigning champ - you have to earn the title by actually beating the champ.

We've seen the words "It All Ends" around town, in reference to the final installment of the "Hangover" trilogy. While the second film left most of us with a less than satisfied feeling, it was only because the first can be cemented as one of the best comedies of our time.
Some new character posters have been released, courtesy of Warner Bros. I'm not going to lie, they are pretty awesome. I think the wolfpack going back to Vegas where it all begin, is the right move from director Todd Phillips and team.
Only time will tell if the film will be funny and reunites us with the crew of wild and lovable characters, for one last adventure. I for one choose to be cautiously optimistic.
What do you think of the "Hangover" character posters? Let us know in the comments section below!
"The Hangover Part III" hits AMC Theatres on May 24th.

High Springs may see lower tax rate
- Details

HIGH SPRINGS – High Springs City Commissioners approved a resolution at the July 24 regular commission meeting to set the ad valorem tax rate at 6.15 mills, the same millage rate the city set last year. Setting the proposed millage rate has the effect of setting a cap on the amount the city can charge for ad valorem taxes during the coming year. Once the cap is set and Alachua County is noticed, the city cannot exceed that millage rate.
The good news is that the commission can choose to lower that rate, and may actually do so this year.
City Manager Ed Booth already proposed a millage rate reduction from 6.15 to 6.1326 mills when he recently presented a balanced general fund budget of $3,923,601.
At the lower millage rate, citizens could see a slight reduction to their tax bill. However, if the taxable value of their property increased during the past year or some other change occurred, it is possible that property owners may not notice a reduction. However, those property owners will still reap the benefit as their next year's taxes will be lower than they would have been at last year's higher millage rate.
A reduced rate would mean the city can expect to realize approximately $5,000 less in revenues next year according to Booth, but he's planned for that and built it into his budget.
The proposed budget has a minimum of $25,000 set aside in the city's contingency fund for the coming year. "Last year's budget process saw very little money set aside for contingencies," said Booth.
His long-range goal is to reduce the millage rate slowly over the next five years, hopefully to 5.2 mills by the end of that time.
"The reduced rate I proposed this year is just a start," he said. "As the city gets better financially, I believe we should share with the citizens who have borne the brunt of less lucrative years along with the city," said Booth.
At Booth's proposed roll back rate of 6.1326 mills, all of the anticipated expenses would be covered plus the city would see a much-needed improvement to vehicles, including police cars, and equipment, as well as reasonable salary increases for employees.
Booth explained that the city is in much better financial shape this year than last and attributed it, in part, to increases in construction and, as a result, increases in inspection fees and income to the city. He also anticipates paying off loans taken out on previously purchased police vehicles and purchasing a new police car out of this year's budget and a second one out of next year's budget.
In addition, Booth anticipates the city will be able to pay off a bridge loan, which has cost $60,000 yearly, out of the coming year's budget. The loan was originally taken out as part of the sewer project.
"All of these things should put this city in a much better position financially by the time we have to sit down and plan a budget for the 2015/2016 fiscal year," said Booth.
Commissioners seemed generally pleased with the budget, but thought it might be possible to reduce the millage rate even further. They requested Booth and Finance Director Jennifer Stull provide them with figures on additional millage reductions.
A final determination of the millage rate will be set at a public hearing, which is currently anticipated to be on Sept. 11, at which time citizens can comment on the proposed millage rate and budget for 2014/2015.

Alachua secures $25,000 tourism grant
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 30 October 2013 12:46
- Written by CARL MCKINNEY
- Hits: 15784
ALACHUA - The City of Alachua is the recipient of a $25,000 grant from the Alachua County Tourist Development Council.
The grant will be used to make renovations to the Hal Brady Recreation Complex, including the installation of new press boxes near the softball fields.
A total of $100,000 in grants was up for grabs, which is evenly split among the top four applicants based on the ability to draw in tourism.
"We have a clear track record of bringing in out-of-town folks and promoting sports tourism," said Adam Boukari, assistant city manager, explaining why Alachua got the grant. "Alachua has a very strong reputation in making good on what we say we're going to do. It's undeniable what we bring in."
The City of Alachua pledged $10,000 in matching funds to help with the project, Boukari said.
The current press boxes are at least 20 years old, he said. By enhancing them, it will help the city to retain the Babe Ruth Softball World Series and other large events. The Babe Ruth Softball World Series brings in thousands of visitors per year to the county.
"Any time you can use funds to enhance community facilities, it's a win," he said. The press box is in desperate need of an upgrade, he said.
Some of the money will also be used for new signs around the complex to help direct visitors around.
Seven entities applied, the cities of Gainesville, Alachua and Newberry, as well as the Hippodrome State Theatre, the Alachua Chamber of Commerce, the Alachua Historic Trust and Kanapaha Botanical Gardens. The City of Newberry withdrew its application before the grants were awarded.
The top four were the City of Alachua, the City of Gainesville, the Hippodrome State Theatre and Kanapaha Botanical Gardens.
Alachua almost didn't make the cut. The first time it submitted the application, it received a score of 52.92 out of 74, placing it outside the top four. It resubmitted and later got a 59.92, second to only Kanapaha.
The criteria of the scores included whether the city would match the funds, how well the application process describes the project, whether the project is sustainable in the long-term and eight other factors.
The money for the grant came from an increase on the Alachua County bed tax in 2010, which raised the tax on renting hotel and motel rooms from three cents on the dollar to five cents on the dollar.
Alachua was awarded the grant because it has proven itself capable of holding large events, such as the Babe Ruth Softball World Series, said John Pricher, of the Tourist Development Council. The key questions are whether there would be a return on investment for tourism in the county and how the money will help encourage tourism, he said.
"Alachua is doing an excellent job in answering both those questions," Pricher said.

Competitive Florida picks Newberry

- Hits: 11543
NEWBERRY – The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) announced that the City of Newberry has been chosen as one of four communities participating in the pilot program for the Competitive Florida Partnership, a new rural community development initiative.
The City of Newberry, the City of Port St. Joe, the City of White Springs and Desoto County were the first four rural communities chosen to participate in the program.
The Competitive Florida Partnership focuses on improving local economic development activities, particularly in the rural areas of Florida. The DEO will assist Newberry in creating a strategic economic development plan that is tailored to the community's unique character and vision.
One facet of the program will be to create a community asset inventory that will be available to local businesses wishing to expand, as well as potential businesses interested in moving to Newberry.
Governor Rick Scott praised the program.
"The Competitive Florida Partnership provides our rural communities with the tools they need to work together and encourage economic development throughout the state," he said. "Port St. Joe, the City of Newberry, the City of White Springs and Desoto County should be congratulated for being the first communities to participate in this program, and for their commitment to creating jobs and opportunities for Florida families."
The Competitive Florida Program will help Newberry to market the community's local assets and to set realistic goals for advancing the city's economic development vision. The program will help Newberry develop an economic development strategy that promotes partnerships, community design and a vibrant local economy.
Asset-based economic development is a bottom-up approach that focuses on developing and promoting existing local resources, such as the available workforce, buildings and land, public infrastructure, transportation networks, education, political advocacy and civic organizations to strengthen the local economy.
This approach focuses on leveraging a rural community's assets and economic advantages into sustainable economic growth and prosperity.
The DEO will work with Newberry to identify and market these assets and facilitate promotional opportunities to bring economic development to their community.

Agricultural law enforcement officers rescue girl after Amber Alert, arrest mother

TALLAHASSEE – Agricultural Law Enforcement Officers with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services rescued 7-year-old Crystal Riemer last night and arrested her mother, Christine Riemer, on a felony warrant from Lee County for interference with custody after an Amber Alert was issued yesterday.
"I am proud of our agricultural law enforcement officers who stay vigilant to protect Floridians every single day," said Commissioner of Agriculture Adam H. Putnam. "Last night, they rescued a young girl from a dangerous situation and she is now safely back where she belongs."
An officer on duty at the agriculture interdiction station on Interstate 75 observed a Budget rental truck failed to stop and submit for inspection around 11 p.m. yesterday. The vehicle matched a description for a possible Amber Alert out of Fort Myers. The Amber Alert was classified as a special needs child who required medication.
Agricultural law enforcement officers attempted to stop the driver at the 448 mile marker, but the driver refused to stop. After a short pursuit, these officers along with the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office safely stopped the vehicle at the 462 mile marker near the Georgia border.
Christine Riemer was arrested at 11:22 p.m. and charged with felony interference with custody, along with failure to stop and submit for inspection, driving while license is suspended or revoked, and resisting an officer without violence. She was booked into the Hamilton County Jail.
Crystal Riemer was located in the cab of the truck and safely taken into protective custody. She was taken to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office where representatives with the Florida Department of Children and Families took custody of the child.
The Fort Myers Police Department is investigating Crystal's abduction, which occurred during a court-ordered supervised visit at a local foster care agency.

When European settlers first arrived in Central Texas, much of the Hill Country was a savanna - a softly undulating expanse of grass punctuated with oaks and junipers. Because of fire suppression and overgrazing, few of these savannas remain today. The Wildflower Center works to restore the savanna to its original character which you can experience through our trails.
NOTE: Due to heavy rains, trails may be rough. The Restoration Research Trail remains closed awaiting repair. (Updated: March 7, 2016)

Restoration Research Trail
The Hill Country trail system is divided into two connecting trails: the John Barr Trail (1/4 mile) and the Restoration Research Trail (1 mile). The entrance to both trails is across the staff parking area. The Hill Country trails feature the Center's outdoor classrooms: Persimmon, Elbow-bush, Agarita and Cedar Elm. These trails are ADA accessible.
Take the Restoration Research Trail for an interpreted look at our landscape restoration research. You can learn how fire, grazing and mowing affect the growth of native grasses. See the green roof research plot, where various mini-roofs planted with native species transmit real-time data on temperature and stormwater runoff.

Burlington man arrested in obscene phone call case
Skagit County authorities on Monday arrested a 35-year-old Burlington accused of making dozens of obscene phone calls to women in the San Juans over the past two months.
Eric N. Lawson, of Burlington, was apprehended early Monday at his home and then later escorted to the San Juan County Sheriff's office in Friday Harbor, where he remains in custody on a $5,000 arrest warrant issued in San Juan County District Court. Lawson is slated for an initial appearance Tuesday afternoon in District Court.
Since mid-April, the Sheriff's Office has responded to complaints of 20 calls in which sexually explicit telephone calls came in the middle of the night by a man, from a restricted or private number, who speaks to his female victims by their name. The majority of those calls came from a cell phone, according to Sheriff Rob Nou.
Nou said that Lawson was arrested on 19 counts of telephone harassment, a gross misdemeanor that carries maximum penalties of one year in jail, a $5,000 fine, or both.

Steve, this page had crawled to a stop because everyone is on facebook. There are clubs there many of which Rod is on also. We can try and see if anyone has a decklid picture on one of those pages.
For you modelers I've contacted Rod McLeod (aka Statsman) about making some decals for Joy's '64 Chevelle. We'd hoped that Jim or Brian or somebody previously could produce a picture of the deck lid on that car for accuracy. However, that doesn't appear likely to happen. Anyway, Rod's saying something like $15 will get you a sheet so holler if you'd like one or two. Rod can easily be Googled for his email or if you need it I will provide. Sure miss the guys, Gilly's birthday was last week......
I didn't go, which I thought was best considering some of the strong opinions I expressed, but I heard some say the race was pretty good. They did a Joy Fair #1 on the grass inside turn one. And as expected named the grandstands for him.
I thought they should have painted the finish line yellow, because you could say he "owned it". At Toledo also. I would have left about 8" to a foot on the inside unpainted and had the grandkids finish painting the yellow on it.
Nevermind, I see the Memorial was held in June. Yeesh!
So what's the latest on the Joy Fair Memorial 100?
We hooked YOUTUBE up to our TV so I did a search on Joy and 'found' three videos of his retirement ceremony at Toledo. Also, there was another video of a Flat Rock feature in 1994 where he led from start to finish and ran a flawless race, as usual.
I understand Dennis. Unfortunately this page can be viewed by doing a simple Google search by anyone, you just need to be a member to comment. Please keep commenting with whatever you're comfortable with because I always look forward hearing from you. Thanks for sticking with us Dennis.
It's not anyone IN the group. It's some people who have READ some of the posts here. Not enough to get the accurate story behind all of our posts. Just enough to take mine out of context and not have the nerve to deal with me directly. Which kind of proved one my points I made. I'll still be around reading the posts. I'm just saying that any posts I may make in the future, may not be so insightful as ones I've made in the past.
Dennis, I don't know what this group has done, but would you like to be dropped from this group? I don't want you mad at us as a group. Pete
Well it seems that as usual on the internet someone reads only a few of the comments out of the hundreds you post on many different web-sites and they jump to conclusions about the few they did read. The worse part about it is when they drag someone who isn't involved instead of taking the matter up with myself and getting a family member to do their dirty work for them. I have four public e-mail addresses, and I'm 6'3" and 270, I'm not hard to find.
You try and protect people from the absurd rumors that go around, and they get pissed at you! Go figure. When I post an opinion, it's an OPINION. When I post a fact of public knowledge, it's a FACT. I've never said anything here or anywhere else that wasn't already a known fact to someone, somewhere. Just because they didn't know it first, doesn't mean others don't. Which I think proved my opinion.
So, I'm going to do what I should have done before when other groups of people who seem to have the right company, organization, or family name attached to them can twist words around to "protect" themselves, when they don't even realize someone else was trying to "boost" or "protect" them when people are spreading false rumors and mis-truths about them. They can just go ahead and call me mean, wrong, a liar, having no intelligence, no sense, out for myself, or what ever crap they want to spread about me.
There are a few out there who really DO know me, and know what I try to do for the sport I grew to love so dearly. The one's who criticize the loudest are the ones who never tried to get to know me. But I've got news for those group and individuals. The majority think the way I do, they just don't know who to point their anger or disappointment at. Well, I guess unfortunately, I do.
To tie this all up, you groups and individuals have won. I surrender. I'll never post another thing again concerning ANY of you. Then, you can deal with the lies and rumors, I've seen and tried to get cleared up before you ever saw them.

The second it happened, Jeremy Maclin knew it- and those around him didn't even have to ask.
"From my emotion, they already knew," Maclin said.
With one wrong step, and a popping noise he has heard before, Maclin knew his season was over.
"I tried to go left, and it felt like my right leg didn't want me to go left," Maclin said. "It popped back, hyper extended on me- and I felt the pop."
Which is why instead of being out on the field with his teammates on Sunday during their practice at Lincoln Financial Field, Maclin was back in the tunnel, talking to reporters about the long road ahead for him after tearing the ACL in his right knee.
"I was devastated," Maclin said. "Laying on the field, it wasn't the fact that it hurt, it was the fact that I knew what happened. I was emotional knowing everything that was at stake."
At stake for Maclin was a chance to increase his value this season in a contract year. With a new coach that is being touted as an offensive genius, Maclin took a chance on himself under Chip Kelly. Maclin could have stayed home, fighting for a new deal. Instead, he came to camp- a decision that in hindsight, could have cost him millions of dollars.
"I came because I wanted to be apart of it," Maclin said. "I felt like this year could have been special, something different- something the league has never seen before."
Does he regret that decision?
"I can't think like that," Maclin said. "The minute you start doing that you start doubting yourself, and that's not the kind of person I am."
Maclin's said his surgery will take place next Tuesday, and will be performed by Dr. James Andrews. Maclin will then return to Philadelphia to begin rehabbing. The first time Maclin tore his ACL while in college, the receiver said it took him just under seven months to fully recover.
That means Maclin could be ready to work out for teams right as the season ends, the one positive for a player looking for a new deal. What the future holds for Maclin and the Eagles remain to be seen. The Eagles will now have to focus on replacing Maclin for this year. Whether they go outside of the organization- or trade for a player- could determine if Maclin returns.
"I don't wanna leave the city," Maclin said on his future. "I wanna come back stronger than before."

The Doctor of Ministry (D.Min) degree is a second professional degree for those who seek to improve practical expertise, explore the concerns of their own ministry setting, and challenge the heart and mind. It is both affordable and workable for persons in full-time ministry. The program seeks to enhance the practice of ministry for persons who hold the MDIV degree, or its equivalent, and have engaged in ministerial leadership.
The Doctor of Ministry Program equips participants for more effective ministry through classes and ministry projects that are connecting, renewing, healing and transforming. That is, our program is rooted in our Seminary's core values of community, academic excellence, Scripture and spiritual formation. Students have opportunities to develop relationships with faculty and one another in a learning community in which spiritual formation is foundational.
The program is tailored to meet personal needs within the context of ministry. It will not take the student away from ministry responsibility for extended periods of time. The process combines the stimulation of the classroom with a deep understanding of the demands of full-time Christian ministry. Most courses are one-week or two- week intensives.
*Students not having the M.Div. but who do hold a master's degree in another theological degree program, such as Pastoral Counseling, Theology or Christian Ministries, may satisfy equivalency by taking courses outlined by the Dean of the Doctor of Ministry Program.
Ashland Theological Seminary's D.Min. program uses a contextual model of learning that is dependent upon the student's participation in and reflection upon ministry. Several ingredients contribute to the integration of theory and practice in the program:
For the final project, students apply what they have learned to a ministry task in their local context (including both the nature and practice of ministry). This is the culmination of the Doctor of Ministry experience in which the ideas and applications of the program are measured and evaluated. The project will reflect careful planning, theological reflection, purposeful implementation, and appropriate assessment. The project is a document of approximately 150-250 pages (minimum 25,000 words).
To develop quality leaders for the Black Church in the 21st century through quality academic reflection in the primary disciplines of Bible, theology/ ethics, church history, spiritual formation, and practical ministry, as well as the opportunity to engage the best African American academicians and practitioners of our time.
To equip students in the ministry of Christian caregiving by integrating pastoral care, spiritual direction, and Spirit directed counseling with a view to bringing hope, healing, and spiritual well-being to broken people.
The Independent Design Track is designed to give students greater flexibility in the area of elective courses.
The vision of the spiritual formation track is for the student to establish Christian spiritual formation as the fountainhead for Christian discipleship and ministry. The student will emerge from the program with a commitment to the foundational roles of Scripture and Christian community in healthy spiritual formation, and will engage in spiritual formation as the locus of practical ministry in a post-modern context.
To equip students with the competencies to deal with the realities of leadership as they seek to position the church for renewal that will result in profound change.
To equip students to understand and utilize the Wesleyan heritage effectively in the ongoing ministry and mission of the church and to integrate Wesleyan practices with the dynamics of personal spiritual formation in community and Christian renewal.
When Norman experienced a stroke in 2007, the Lord used that trial to very specifically call him into ministry and a seminary education. The road to recovery has also been a road into full-time ministry!
The Doctor of Ministry degree is for men and women whose vocation and calling is ministry. It is specifically designed for the individual who seeks to improve practical expertise, explore the concerns of their own ministry setting, and challenge both heart and mind. The Doctor of Ministry degree is affordable and accessible to persons in full-time ministry. Concentrations include Transformational Leadership, Spiritual Formation, Formational Counseling, Black Church Studies, Canadian Context, Wesleyan Practices, and Independent Design.
