Karl Bushby is headed from Los Angeles to Washington -- on foot -- for an in-person appeal to the Russian embassy.
He says he was more than halfway through a planned 36,000 mile walk around most of the world when he found out last year that Russia would not grant him a visa. With no viable alternative route, Bushby decided to add a few thousand miles to his trek and set out across the United States in hopes of persuading the Russian embassy to reconsider.
Bushby is a former British paratrooper who says he grew up feeling inadequate. He says he was plagued for years by doubts that he really deserved his place in the army's elite Parachute Regiment.
"Every time I stood in the mirror and donned my red beret, I was reminded of my shortcomings," Bushby told Men's Journal. "As a soldier, you're responsible for your brothers. If they're thinking there's a chance you don't deserve to be there, that's a burden almost impossible to bear."
So, 15 years ago, he set out to prove to himself and to the world that he could accomplish something extraordinary, all on his own: the longest continuous walk in human history. Bushby began walking north from the southern tip of South America. His website, Bushby3000.com, says he had already crossed the Bering Strait when he got the bad news from Moscow. The site doesn't say how he got back to California, but presumably it didn't happen on foot, or the detour to D.C. would have added far than 3,000 miles to his journey.
Bushby is currently at the Grand Canyon, according to his site, having spent some time in Las Vegas in October, publicizing his quest. Yahoo! Travel reports he is now traveling with support from some wealthy entertainment industry figures. No word on when he plans to arrive in Washington – or whether he has an appointment at the Russian embassy.

There are a number of animals commonly found in the urban setting that can become pests. Squirrels, raccoons, even stray dogs and cats can tear up turf and flowerbeds, destroy bird feeders and consume pet food.
During the winter, these animals will take advantage of spaces in homes and storage buildings that can provide them with shelter and warmth. Common damage caused by animals in attics and crawlspaces include torn insulation, chewed electric wires and odors from their excrement.
SQUIRRELS and RACCOONS
Squirrels and raccoons can enter a structure by traveling along electrical lines, cable TV wires, or by jumping from nearby tree limbs and entering holes in siding, unscreened vents or chimneys. Once inside, they often damage insulation, wiring or household contents.
Squirrels can also cause extensive damage in the vegetable garden or flowerbeds by eating vegetables flower bulbs and freshly planted seeds, and may strip the bark off of ornamental trees and shrubs. They are often a nuisance around bird feeders, frightening desirable birds and scattering seeds. Raccoons are attracted to easy food sources, like garden produce, garbage, and pet food.
In addition to causing all of the previously listed problems that squirrels cause, raccoons have also been known to wreak havoc in the water garden in their attempt to catch the fish in a pond.
DOGS and CATS
If you have nuisance dogs or cats which are defecating in flowerbeds, chewing plants or simply walking in your yard, there are ways of controlling this behavior.

"Lungwort Roy Davidson has distinctive, showy foliage and long-lasting beautiful flowers. Plus, it requires no special attention to establish beautifully."
Leonine Lady in NY
Lungworts look best grown in masses as a shady groundcover or combined with hostas, hellebores and ferns in a shady garden. Grown as much for their attractive leaves as for their flowers, lungwort's foliage remains attractive all season as long as the soil isn't allowed to dry out. The genus name Pulmonaria and common name lungwort allude to its historic usage as a remedy for respiratory problems. Lungworts form low-growing clumps that slowly spreads to form a groundcover without being aggressive and overtaking other plants.

At the Eastern New Mexico University Board of Regents meeting Friday in the Regents Room in the Administration Building, regents:
- Heard a report from ENMU Foundation President Steve Doerr
Doerr said the foundation is working on the 2012 general obligation bond campaign, in hopes to get it passed.
He announced there are two new members to the foundation board and that he expects at least 250 people at the foundation breakfast Saturday.
He added that though this year was a tough one for the economy, the foundation managed to raise $1 million in contributions.
- Heard a report from Alumni Affairs Coordinator Robert Graham.
Graham said he's expecting a big turnout for this year's homecoming activities. He said there are more than 60 parade Floats and 15 antique cars.
- Heard a report from ENMU President Steven Gamble.
Gamble reported two recent deaths in the ENMU family. ENMU's new director of health services was killed in a motor vehicle accident in Texas last week, according to Gamble. He also mentioned that former ENMU professor Albert Bettina died Monday at age 91.
Gamble reported the increases in enrollment. There was an increase of 240 students from 2011 enrollment. Approximately 180 of those 240 students are not on campus, according to Gamble. He added, that almost half of the 240 students are attending ENMU through dual-enrollment.
Gamble reported total semester credit hours increased by 4 percent from 2011, which is important for more funding.
Gamble reported that freshman enrollment surpassed 700 students for the first time. About 180 freshman come from Clovis and Portales.
Gamble also pushed for the passing of Bond C, also known as the general obligation bond. Gamble said the passing of Bond C will provide funding for the ENMU's needs including $9 million for renovation of the Jack Williamson Liberal Arts Building.
- ENMU Vice President for Business Affairs, Scott Smart reported that the basketball arena now has an improved heating and cooling system.
- Gamble gave a report about the school's recent eligibility issues with student athletes and the possibility of punishment from the NCAA.
- ENMU-Roswell President John Madden said he is also campaigning for the passing of Bond C in the November election. If passed, Bond C can help fund $1.5 million for the Lawrence C. Harris Occupational Technology Center's boiler replacement and the Arts and Science Center roof replacement.
- ENMU-Ruidoso President Clayton Alred reported enrollment is up but total credit hours are down from last year by 1.4 percent.
- Approved the 2012 General Obligation Bond resolution.
- Approved the addendum to the 2012 spring graduation list for Portales.
- Approved the 2012 summer graduation list for Portales.
- Approved the Capital Projects plan for Portales.
- Approved a policy regarding complaints and grievances for Portales.
- Approved changes to the faculty handbook for Portales.
- Approved the revised staff handbook for Portales.
- Approved the 2012 summer graduation list for Roswell.

It's the eve of Championship Weekend in Boston. As practices are wrapping up a short cab ride away in Harvard Stadium, I'm in the downtown hotel suite of Jake Steinfeld, the fitness personality, actor and author who pioneered the home fitness industry with his "Body by Jake" line of equipment.
The co-founder of Major League Lacrosse comes out of his room to greet me yielding one of his latest accomplishments: The gold torch he carried this summer leading up to the Olympic Games in London. In the other hand is the reason for the interview, a copy of his latest book "Take a Shot!"
The book chronicles the beginnings of MLL and how he — along with Warrior CEO and founder Dave Morrow and Tim Robertson — got the league off the ground despite financial obstacles and many challenges. In the interview below, Steinfeld describes the reasoning behind the book and shares some of the many anecdotes that are featured in "Take a Shot!". There's the story of when he locked a potential investor in a limo, or how they played the first MLL Championship right next to a prison, or how Morrow — the shy Princeton grad — came to change the game with his Warrior brand.
Steinfeld sprinkles his interview with the kind of inspirational messages that made him a media sensation, from the book's title itself "Take a Shot," to his go-to "Don't quit," to the way of thinking that spawned a pro sports league, "Don't get ready, don't get set, just go."
Also, Steinfeld touches on the current state of the league, hitting on topics such as westward expansion, rules and the growth of MLL players as brands.
The book can be found in stores, or at Amazon.com.
The 25-minute interview is available in full as a podcast, or a two-part video below.

J Dilla Diamonds & Ice
Posted 02 August 2013 - 10:23 AM
"Diamonds & Ice" is the second single, a 7-track 12-inch EP slated for August 27th.
ON SALE: J DILLA – DIAMONDS & ICE 12-inch EP
This EP contains what might be the two best known tracks from The Diary – one leaked years ago in the form of a low-bit MP3, and another as a short-lived promotional single. These versions – both final and alternate mixes – come straight from mixed-down masters that Dilla himself created.
Long before his posthumous album The Shining (2006), J Dilla titled these two tracks "The Shining Pt. 1″ and "The Shining Pt. 2." "Diamonds (The Shining Pt. 1)" was produced Nottz, and "Ice (The Shining Pt. 2)" was produced by Madlib, who Dilla would later collaborate with under the group name Jaylib. The Diamonds & Ice EP contains two markedly different versions of "Ice," with one showing the musical direction Dilla would embark on after The Diary was shelved in 2002.
Rounding out this EP is a Madlib instrumental that J Dilla secured for the album but never turned into the final song, titled "The D." We've included this beat as a hint of what could have been.
The Estate of James Yancey is administered by attorney Alex Borden and overseen by the Probate Court of the State of California on behalf of Yancey's four heirs – his mother, Maureen "Madukes" Yancey, his brother John "Illa J" Yancey and his two daughters, Ja'Mya Yancey and Ty-monae Whitlow.

For those who haven't heard these tracks, these releases must be heavenly.
I've avoided tracking down any of the MCA tracks all these years so I'm definitely enjoying this experience.

I've avoided tracking down any of the MCA tracks all these years so I'm definitely enjoying this experience.
I couldn't have foreseen an official release of the MCA album when I listened to the leak years ago and even if I had, I don't know that I could have resisted listening to the records so I commend your patience. It's a similar situation with the beat tapes too. Some of the new tracks they've released/ are releasing are beats that scumbags like myself have already spent the hours of the day marveling at so they don't do it for me. The only track that I remember absolutely loving from the MCA leak years ago was a track produced by Bink Dawg that if I remember correctly was called "Diary." Wait until that hits!!

is that gonna be on The Diary?

An audio recording of the meeting of the town board on August 8 reveals a heated exchange of words and accusations that eventually led to the board voting in favor of another referendum of the bookkeeper position.
Town of Tusten residents already voted on the matter on July 12, but that ended in a tie, which would have allowed supervisor Peg Harrison to continue to have the sole authority to appoint the bookkeeper. However, council members who wanted to shift that authority to the entire town board refused to accept the results of the vote, at least in part because of an anonymous letter that some town residents found in their mail boxes.
The letter suggested that the matter being resolved with the vote would be whether the bookkeeper would be a full-time position with benefits, or a much less costly part-time position. Council member Eileen Falk, who voted in favor of putting the matter before the public again, said she was never in favor of making it full time.
Council member Lisa Dowling said while she supported a full-time position in the past, she respected the fact that Harrison had to fight the board to make the position part time, and said she would not now vote to create a full-time position.
It is not clear, however, if the board wins the new referendum in November, whether the new position it creates will have enough hours to trigger benefits such as pension payments.
The letter was mentioned several times through the raucous 50-minute discussion of the matter. Tony Ritter, chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals, said, "This letter was calculated to mislead the public." At another point, resident Tom Prendergast said there was misleading information on both sides of the question.
Harrison declined to re-appoint the bookkeeper in January, and the board subsequently voted to eliminate the bookkeeper job altogether.
This happened after a bitter budget process during which the hours of the position were cut twice. The booking duties then fell to Harrison, who as supervisor has the chief responsibility over the town's finances. However, the town's auditing firm informed the board months ago that the supervisor should not also be acting as the bookkeeper.
Because the board did not have authority to appoint the bookkeeper, it had previously refused to create a new bookkeeping position, which the supervisor can't do on her own. At the meeting, Carol Wingert, who is running against Harrison in the fall, said that some things in the office were falling behind and suggested that the board give Harrison the ability to hire a part-time secretary.
After more discussion on the matter, and the realization that any position that was created would only be filled through January, and that if the public approves the referendum to give authority to the board to appoint the bookkeeper it could not reasonably do so until at least January, the board voted to allow Harrison to hire a bookkeeper in the interim.

Vt. police say DNA linked killer to burglaryThe Associated Press | December 06,2013GUILDHALL - A Vermont man convicted of killing a baby 20 years ago has been charged with burglary after police say DNA linked him to a blood-spattered pamphlet at the crime scene.
Forty-three-year-old Shawn Boyd pleaded not guilty to felony burglary and unlawful mischief in Essex Superior Court Thursday and is being held on $10,000 bail.
Police say Boyd smashed the front door of the Moose Look Cafe in Concord last Christmas Eve last year and stole $7 from the cash register.
The Caledonian-Record reported that prosecutors are charging Boyd as a habitual offender because he has three prior felony convictions, including one for manslaughter.
Police say Boyd also goes by Shawn Ely and was sent to prison in 1998 after being convicted of beating to death a 2-year-old boy.MORE IN This Just InPolice: Chase

ASP.NET in a Nutshell
In this final installment in a series of excerpts from ASP.NET in a Nutshell, learn how to share ASP.NET controls across applications.
The architecture of the .NET Framework makes using a custom server control or other assembly as simple as copying that assembly to the bin subdirectory of your application and adding the appropriate directives and tags to your page. However, there may be times when you would like multiple applications on the same machine to be able to use the same control, without having multiple local copies of the control's assembly floating around.
Fortunately, .NET addresses this need with the Global Assembly Cache (GAC), a repository of shared assemblies that are accessible to all .NET applications on a given machine. Adding your own control assemblies to the GAC is a relatively straightforward process that requires four steps:
sn.exe -k Blog.snk
AssemblyKeyFileAttribute to the file containing the
control code, passing the path to the keyfile created in Step 1 as an argument.
(This is an assembly-level attribute, so it should be placed outside of any
namespace or class definitions.) When compiled, this attribute will result in a
strongly named assembly that can be placed in the GAC:
[assembly: AssemblyKeyFileAttribute("Blog.snk")]
gacutil -i Blog.dll

Dordt College News
Web series by Dordt professor and students wins award
December 8, 2010
"A documentary film won't change the world, but media does have the potential to shine a spotlight on important issues," said Mark Volkers on his website.
Mark Volkers, Dordt's digital media production instructor, along with Dordt alumni at Mission India and the president of the online marketing company, Click Rain, shared their unique skills to create My Passport to India, a virtual tour of India's slums.
The web series, produced by Prairie Grass Productions, proved so powerful and engaging that it recently received a 2010 Davey Award, the largest and most prestigious award competition held exclusively for small firms with big ideas. Prairie Grass Productions is Dordt College's production company.
The Mission India series sheds light on the growth of the church in India and allows children to explore India's diverse culture, people, and country.
After being contacted by Mission India, Volkers along with Dale Vande Griend, a current Dordt student, journeyed to India to capture the experience on film.
Click Rain owner Paul Ten Haken began the work of creating a web structure for smooth and easy access to the videos and the program. Prairie Grass Productions began editing the content and produced the webisodes within eight weeks. Volkers believes that opportunities such as this help set Dordt's digital media program apart.
"Not only are Dordt students doing professional work while they are students, they're making a difference in the world. In some other college programs, students hardly pick up a camera until graduate school," said Volkers.
This is the second Davey Award given to Prairie Grass Productions. To learn more, go to www.dordt.edu/media.

Pics for examination
girl im friends with, (possibly more down the road) just started 25mg of var for her show. I personally dont think she even needed it, but her coach insisted. this girl means alot to me, and shes already experiencing side effects. isnt 25mg a high dose for a chick? thought it was like 10mg? shes doing figure, and without any supps besides her pre workout and her hardcore diet, shes dialed in. shes already lookin like she could take 1 week and be good to go on stage. just frustrating i guess.... thoughts?
Pics for examination
Yeah, 10mg safely. Hell yeah man, a couple that trains together stays together.
thats her like 3weeks ago. and she started var aweek ago. in 1 week before she started the var, her body changed even more for the good.
i dont want her to lose that nice feminine face look lol. she already has the determination IMO to do it without the help of supps...esp since its her first show and from what shes said, the competition isnt that bad.
and i tried giving u a rep but it said i had to wait.
Too be honest, sounds like he's relying on the var to make himself look good. But I don't know the guy, that's where you step in.
Check ok KOS log on his lady she is running 10mg daily. My lady will run 10mg for 60 days starting in sept.

That's fantastic she's going to compete! Yeah, 25 mg is a little high. As Sassy69 says, it's always good start low and go slow when adding supplements. Can always up dosage or increase frequency later once you are familiar with effects. Hard to take away once you're down the road.
Trainers are....emotionally involved with a lot of their "clients progress." I think it's easy for them to develop a personal agenda in the process to a point of being biased and unhealthy. I think you need to smack your friend in the noggin and tell her to take your opinion more serious. There is a probodybuilder on here named sassy69. You could pm her. She is also on TID which has a much bigger female member base and article section bro.
25mg is too high for a female first time user....she does appear that she would benefit from some added muscle...but 25mg of var isnt the immediate answer..
Then there is risk and reward consequences of any female using steroids..
Guys and ladies thanks so much for you alls input. I'm gonna try and get her to join this forum and maybe learn a thing or too or three lol. And guys thanks for being respectful when I posted the pics.

She's in a tough spot. Wants to believe in her trainer and she wants to please you. Ultimately, she's got to make the choice on her own. Ideally, it's an informed decision. You can support her in being smart. Researching herself. Ask her trainer his reasoning for dosage. Ask about his experience w it. Tell him her concerns. Sigh...ugh. Sorry you're in this spot, too.
Here's what I would do:
1) Ask him WHY 20 mg vs some other amount? (If he doesn't answer, then tell him he should be able to speak to why he says stuff like that.) Also this is not intended to be an accusatory discussion w/ this coach - the point also is that you should be able to ask your coach to explain himself when he recommends some sort of controlled substance. It aint' rocket science and plenty of people use the stuff, but it is still a scheduled drug (i.e. illegal w/o a script) and she is still the one who has to deal w/ the impact to her body.
2) Personally I consider var to be fairly consistent so I'd not be all that worried about it. HOWEVER, I would still say drop the dose down for another week or two and see how things go. You can always increase, but I don't like the higher dose right out of the gate.
Certainly don't want to put extra pressure on her if she's going into her first competition, but I would certainly encourage her to do more research (not just ask you and you ask people on a muscle forum) so that SHE has some idea of what to expect and things to watch for. The stickie called "Women & Drugs" on this forum (or in the Anabolic forum) covers most everything I've come across or have seen asked over the years so I would consider that a decent place to start. This all about HER comfort and not the coach's.
Is she taking taurine, potassium and magnesium? 25 is not a high dose but it's up there.

- " Would stay again - entire hostel was very clean, well kept, staff was helpful. Rooms were decent size and included a sink/mirror which was helpful. Showers/bathrooms were shared on floor but single occupancy (with locks) - one shower, and 1-2 toilets on each floor. Had to wait a little for a shower in the morning, but otherwise was fine. Breakfast in morning offered variety of bagels, cereal, fruit & coffee. Noise levels as expected - some street noise, and people on stairs could be bit loud. "
- 29 Oct 2016 Hanna USA
- " The overall experience was enjoyable but there where a few minor inconveniences that unfortunately made our trip a little less enjoyable. The WiFI was an absolute disaster (we ended up using the free WiFi provided by NYC, but it only worked on the aisles) and the atmosphere was not great. We'd still recommend this place as its location is very convenient and the value for money, while it would be quite poor in most other cities, was alright for NYC. "
- 07 Aug 2016 Felix Switzerland
- " Rooms are small. Restrooms and bathrooms are very small and dirty. The lock of the bedroom didn't work well. "
- 07 Aug 2016 Marina Switzerland
- " Loved my stay. Snacks were awesome. "
- 28 Apr 2016 Aaron USA
- " A really good hostel! Good location just a few blocks away from the subway and in walking distance to mostly of the tourist things on Manhattan. A good breakfast and always fresh fruits in the kitchen. Clean toilets and showers. I will absolutely recommend this hostel to friens going to NYC! "
- 01 Apr 2016 David Sweden
- " BUYER BEWARE! I booked a three bed private room and received a two bed private room that sleeps 3 very uncomfortably. We paid for three beds and got two beds. This made for a very bad NYC trip. The staff were indifferent about this issue even though I provided them evidence of my THREE bed reservation. Hostels.com customer service has been unhelpful and continue disputing the simple fact of 3 beds vs. 2 beds. "

Sink Bugs, Bathtub Bugs, Eyelash Bugs, or House Centipedes?
Ever seen a weird creature stranded in your bathtub, that could easily be mistaken for a discarded fake eyelash? Two of my friends, Matt and Kristi, have (p.s. they're Museum members too). In fact, they often find them in their bathroom. However, this week they had an unusual sighting. Matt was sleepily making breakfast and pulled out a package of oatmeal–lo and behold an eyelash bug darted out from the cupboard! Seriously, these bugs are FAST, so it's not surprising that it startled him. Quick to recover, he grabbed the nearest empty jar (only a bit of pickle juice was left), and captured the bug. Kristi kindly brought the bug to the Museum, so it could pose for a photo shoot and I could write this blog.
Thanks guys!
Captive Eyelash Bug
Love the gloves Kristi!
So what is it? This bug is a House Centipede...

BSC Basketball Camp Sharpens Campers Court Skills
CreatedTuesday, June 26 2012
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
|Future basketball stars Jocquise Oliver (left) and Blake Thompson (right) receive one-on-one instruction from Big Blues' basketball coach Jamaal Jackson during the Bluefield State College Basketball Camp. The four-day camp welcomed more than 30 young student-athletes, ages 8-17, at its opening session on July 25.
More than 30 kids, eight to 17 years old, participated in the annual camp.
Coach Jackson and camp counselors used the four days to teach the campers the basic fundamentals, offensive and defensive principles, and directed "Hot Shot," free throw shooting, one-on-one, two-on-two, and defensive competitions.
"The youngsters were hungry to learn every day, and there's no doubt in my mind that we will see several of this year's campers develop into high school and college basketball players in the future," Jackson said.

Practically Speaking
Kyle and her husband moved to Brookfield in 1986. She became active in local politics and started blogging in 2004. Her focus is primarily on local issues but often includes state and national topics, too. Kyle looks at things from the taxpayers' perspective in a creative, yet down to earth way, addressing them from a practical point of view.
Public schools: safety net or drift net?
Recently at a neighborhood party, a few of the moms were talking about school and the high cost of private school tuition. Two of them had their children enrolled in parochial elementary and high schools.
I believe it is the right of every parent to choose the type of school their child attends.Sending children to private school or homeschooling them is a financial sacrifice many parents are willing to make, but as our property taxes increase it is a choice that is becoming increasingly difficult. (The major portion of your bill is the school tax).
That discussion reminded me of something I read in January's 2007 Elmbrook Link regarding the budget.
There has never been a greater need than now to recruit all possible resident-student enrollments into our schools, according to assistant superintendent for finance and operations, Bob Borch. The amount of revenue that the State of Wisconsin allows school districts to receive each year is based on enrollment figures under what are called, "state revenue caps." Either the School District of Elmbrook increases its resident enrollment as one way to produce more revenue or it must continue to make dramatic spending cuts to keep the annual budget in balance. (Emphasis added)
When that publication came out, some people made the comment that because property taxes (school taxes) were getting so high, soon residents would have no choice but to send their kids to public school--they couldn't could afford tuition on top of the property taxes. Elmbrook was taxing us out of our ability to choose! This holds true for homeschoolers too. (Most homeschool moms cannot work outside the home and teach their children at the same time, so they are single income families.)
The absurdity of Elmbrook's rational in their wish to recruit every possible student is unbelievable. In very rounded numbers, the total cost per student is $13,000/year. The district receives about $3,000/student from the coveted state reimbursement mentioned in the Link. The remaining $10,000 per student comes from us, the ELMBROOK School District taxpayers!
But cost aside, is this what Public Schools were designed to be? Something that parents had to enlist their children in with out a choice? A drift net that would snag and snare every living creature in its path? Or was the concept of the public school set up to be a safety net, designed to catch those who fell through the cracks, to keep them from injury.
If we look at the history of public education in the United States, we see that the Puritans were the first to implement free public education in the colonies. They wanted their children to be literate so they could read the Bible. It is ironic that the very reason for free public education is evolving into a mandate to attend a school where God cannot be mentioned nor a Bible read.
The first free public school in the United States was not available until the mid 1800s. (Section, The Beginning of the Public Education System)
The common-school reformers argued for the case on the belief that common schooling could create good citizens, unite society and prevent crime and poverty.
These reformers thought education should not just be for the wealthy, who could afford tuition to a private school or a tutor, but be available to all American children. It was not until 1918 that there even was a Federal law on the books requiring compulsory elementary school attendance in all states. These laws came about to ensure that all children, regardless of financial ability to pay, could reap the benefits of a basic education.
Many families today are already being priced out of their ability to choose the type of education their child receives by the very system of public education (and resulting high property taxes) that was created to ensure all children be educated. If this pattern of ever increasing school property taxes continues, then ironically, the only families that will still be able to choose will again be those who are very wealthy, or in select districts, the poor who qualify for school choice vouchers.
Elmbrook must come to terms that they must find other ways to work within their budget than just continually trying to increase their student enrollments. Recruiting all the resident students who currently attend private schools, non-resident students, and now the possible 4K students, just to receive the paltry (in comparison to the total cost) state aid monies to boost their budget is not the answer.
Enrollments will continue to drop. That is just the reality of the aging baby boom. Adding 4K may ease Elmbrook's budget woes for now (not the Embrook taxpayers' burden), but how will that help when enrollments drop further?
Elmbrook will suggest adding all day 4K, to double the state aid money. Then they will suggest adding 3K. The real answer lies in cutting the fat out of the budget and improving efficiency, and only asking the public to fund our own students.
Elmbrook needs to be reminded that they only receive about 25% of actual cost for each Elmbrook student from the state (that includes Elmbrook taxes too) and that it is the Elmbrook taxpayer that must make up the remaining 75%.
Elmbrook's drift net mentality costs the taxpayer about $10,000 per student. At that price, how does snagging a larger catch help us?

- Abstract
- Australia's transition to the 21st century has been marked by an extended period of economic prosperity unmatched for several decades, but one in which a series of question marks are being raised in three principal areas: in relation to the environment, the social well-being of the population, and the future path of economic development. The first concern, which is of primary interest in this report, relates to the physical environment of cities and their surrounding regions, and the range of pressures exerted by population and human activity. The report begins by noting the increasing divergence of the prime indicator of national economic performance---gross domestic product (GDP)---from the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI). GPI is a new experimental measure of sustainable development that accommodates factors currently unaccounted for in GDP, such as income distribution, value of household work, cost of unemployment, and various other social and environmental costs. The divergence of these two indicators in recent decades suggests that Australia's growth has been heavily dependent on the draw-down of the nation's stocks of capital assets (its infrastructure), its human and social capital, and its natural capital (Hamilton 1997). The pressures of Australia's consumption are becoming increasingly obvious. The 1996 SoE Report on Human Settlements highlighted several issues of concern. Australia's major cities and coastal towns were absorbing most of the nation's population growth, placing pressure on natural environments, productive agricultural land, water resources, urban airsheds, and sewage and waste disposal systems. At the same time, many inland towns were declining in population and economic well-being, thereby compromising their capacity to manage or rehabilitate their immediate environment. Remote Indigenous communities were found to be suffering from critically low levels of social amenity, inadequate housing, and poor waste treatment and water supply systems, and presented severe health problems. In 2001, the areas of focus are: Future population; Coastal belt; Cities versus country; Re-urbanisation versus suburbanisation; Density of development; Resident versus visitor populations; Indigenous settlement; Per capita consumption; Greenhouse; Material consumption; Energy consumption; Water availability and use; Land, water, food, air and noise quality; Effectiveness of urban infrastructure networks; Human health and well-being; Waste recycling and reuse; Urban planning and design; and the patchiness of prosperity.

Why study in the mid-West?
Why not? The American Midwest is the symbolic and cultural heart of the United States. The region has defined American history, as it has long combined diverse cultures--from traditional family farm communities to the cosmopolitan neighborhoods of its major cities--in a safe and welcoming environment. Midwesterners have long set the agenda for national politics, the standard for high-quality education, and even the tone for the American English accent--all with their renowned friendliness, honesty, and industry. Thousands of students have chosen to study in the Midwest in order to discover the spirit of America for themselves, and all have returned with timeless stories, memorable experiences, and lifelong friends. What will you discover when you find your new home in the Midwest?"

Thoughts on Neuroplasticity
I recently read a fascinating book, The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman Doidge. He describes case histories and research indicating that the brain is far more malleable than we once thought. We used to think each function was localized to a small area of the brain and if you lost that area of brain tissue the function was gone forever. We once thought you couldn't teach an old dog new tricks. Now we know better.
Learning a new skill actually changes the structure and function of the brain, even into old age. If you exercise one finger, the area of the brain devoted to that finger enlarges. The old concept of dedicated brain areas for specific functions no longer holds. Areas of the cortex that normally process vision can learn to process totally different inputs such as hearing. This is what happens with blind people: their hearing skills are enhanced when new neural connections for hearing invade the disused visual cortex. They may not actually have better hearing acuity, but they have learned to pay more attention to auditory input and to use it to build up a representation of the world around them.
One of the more intriguing experiments he describes was in monkeys. When sensory input nerves to one arm were severed, the monkey stopped using the arm, even though the motor nerves were intact. When the good arm was put in a sling, the monkey started using the impaired arm again. When both arms were deprived of sensory input, the monkey used both arms. (more…)

Poetry Corner for February 27
By Jon Morgan
I'm still bored with life because nothing has changed
I sit alone in the dark, I'm feeling deranged
everything I once knew has started to fall
then I start to wonder, is it really worth it all?
I'm full of hatred, darkness, and fear
knowing full well that the end is near
and we (as humans) are destroying the Earth
not noticing its beauty or anything it's worth
We can't turn back now we are all thoroughly screwed
We take an inch to a mile and everything is crude
And just like some people addicted to meth
We hate our own life as we draw our last breath
Everything is gone, there is nothing left
But we cannot truly shine, we are convicted to death
Black and White: Basic colors
By Patt Welsh
Black as night
White as snow
Starlight flittering
As if to show
Bright light
After glow
To be black or white
Like Ying and Yang
Are you right
Or are you wrong
You decide
Where you belong
Puppy Love: A tribute to everyone's pets

Soft brown fur
Wet nose
Turned up tail

Looking up at you
Reflection in his eyes
Like a somber dove
He abounds
With starry eyed love
Thank you note

I see this man most everyday
Feeding some cats who are astray.
The love he has shown for these little ones

Thank you Mr. Man in the red truck

Snow Ice Cream
By Ellen Reinholt
Here is a recipe
for snow ice cream
You can make it
it is not a dream.
Kimberly, one of our granddaughters
came over yesterday
And said Grandma, please make me
some snow ice cream today.
She said, last year you made it
and it was sure good on your part
She just knows how to win
an old Grandma's heart,
Here is the recipe if you like it
(or don't like it)
I just guess at the
ingredients, I admit,
You may not like it
but I do
Put in a blender
or a shaker to
1 cup milk, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg,
1 1/2 tbsp. vanilla, less for pure
Start with about 1 pint of
nice clean snow before you're
done put 1/2 of the
mixture on the snow
And stir it up, you can tell
if it is moist enough so,
Flavor well be all through
the snow which is cold
It is now ready to eat
It's a recipe of "old."
If you can't eat more you can save
milk mixture for next day
And have more snow
ice cream then, okay.
Or if you like egg nog that's
how I make it, you see
Only put less vanilla
in it, I agree.
By Barbara J. Jordan
A daughter is a sometimes thing
A challenging child of starlit wing
A summer storm
A fresh spring morn
A hand that takes
A hand that makes
Clothed in secrets out of time
The essence of the Sorcerer's rhyme
A daughter is a magic being
Fashioned from illusion's dream.

Do What When It's Cold?
by Erma Evans
It's cold outside-too cold for me.
So, don't look for me until it's spring.
The temp is predicted to be in the teens.
I'll stay inside and do some things.
What shall I choose to do first?
There are plenty of things to be done.
Like open the sewing machine
And get some projects run.
There's embroidery and quilting-
Things I like to do when I start.
I just have to get out of this chair
And put some movement into my heart.
Of course, I could study God's Word.
I need to do that every day.
Praying to God and learning from Him
Are always needed anyway.
And then there are some new recipes
I would like to try.
When I get the right groceries,
I'll try that Creamy Peanut Butter Pie.
Then I can sit with pen in hand
And write a few lines of verse.
I just need a good idea
To start with first……
It's the beginning of the year
Three or four months to wait
To see leaves and flowers bloom.
I'm looking forward to that date.
By Destiny Evy
One's affection for me is one that cannot be compared to another,
Clearer than those and of that from a mother.
Thine eyes, sweet gentleman, have infected mine.
Blue'r and more true'r than the oceans' vast shoreline.
Thou art the individual that has woo'd me,
Snatched my heart up; very bravely.
Be forewarned about mine emotional disconnections,
For I am difficult, but I hope not of thy rejections.
Easter 2013

God so loved us that He gave us His only begotten Son, you see
Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross for you and me
He rose again as he said he would in glory on Easter Day
It our own sins play a part in this terrible tragedy, I'm sorry to say
He was in agony, was scourged and a crown of thorns forced down on His head too
Jesus was torn; bleeding and bruised they made Him carry a heavy cross too
The entire cross He carried they nailed Him to it then
Jesus hands were nailed first and then His feet way back when
After He died a soldier ran a spear in our Lord's right side and all
To make sure He was dead, blood and water flowed out of it after all
Father Brian said little is known as of the wood of the cross, you see
And he said, "I could take my pick" so I choose the Dogwood Tree
To me it sounds truer as the Legend of the Dogwood Tree
Spoke in Jesus time it was the size of an oak
It was tall, firm and strong
And was the tree selected right along
To be used for the cross that Jesus would bear
The tree was afraid of being a cross again and was in a lot of despair
It sounds so real, so that's why I chose the Dogwood Tree
The legend goes on to say, the tree was in sorrow, slender and bent to.
On each blossom there will be print of a nail too
Your blossoms shall be in a form of a cross, from that day
Crown of thorns will be the center of the flower, He says
The Legend says, the tree will be a reminder to all of us too
That Jesus was nailed upon the cross and of His death too.
Jesus is risen today, I pray you have happy and blessed one all year.

On Route Nine, going to Walmart from Hedgesville,
There are three herd of cows.
One herd is more mobile than the others.
A big herd of black cows, that
cross the pasture, their legs flung
In all directions, hurrying
To eat a particular patch of grass.

Faded Valentines, old love letters
Mixed within new obituaries.

November 9, 1999: This Hubble telescope image of the Trifid Nebula reveals a stellar nursery being torn apart by radiation from a nearby, massive star. The picture also provides a peek at embryonic stars forming within an ill-fated cloud of dust and gas, which is destined to be eaten away by the glare from the massive neighbor. This stellar activity is a beautiful example of how the life cycles of stars like our Sun are intimately connected with their more powerful siblings.See the rest:
This object is part of a dense cloud of dust and gas, a giant incubator for stars. These stars are forming deep within the cloud. At the tip of the stellar incubator are two wispy columns of gas. The thin, corkscrew-shaped line of gas pointing to the upper left is a stellar jet. The jet's source is a very young star buried within the cloud. This jet is the exhaust gas of star formation. The finger-like column of gas points directly toward the "hefty" star that powers the Trifid. This "finger" is a prominent example of the evaporating gaseous globules, or "EGGs," that were seen previously in the Eagle Nebula, another star-forming region photographed by Hubble.
This star resides beyond the top of this photograph, but its influence is visible. The glare from the "beefy" star is illuminating part of the cloud. This "glare" or radiation also is eating away the cloud. Many of the embryonic stars embedded in the cloud may not survive if their stellar incubator disappears, but it will take thousands of years for this to happen.
The Trifid is about 9,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Sagittarius.

Spatio-lateral continuity of hurricane deposits in back-barrier marshes
Scott P. Hippensteel, Dept. of Geography and Earth Sciences, University of North Carolina, 9201 University City Blvd., Charlotte, North Carolina 28223, USA; doi: 10.1130/B30261.1.
Growing populations and recent hurricane activity along the Atlantic and Gulf coastlines have made more accurate and extensive records of paleostorm frequency and hurricane return periods imperative. Proxy records collected from marshes offer the potential to extend this record by several thousand years, thus providing improved statistical constraints for hurricane prediction. Scott P. Hippensteel of the University of North Carolina documents how storm records recovered from the marshes behind Folly Island, South Carolina, USA, are misleading with respect to hurricane frequency. Different storm records were recovered from cores taken only meters apart and different paleotempestology proxies (sediment and foraminifers) provided different storm records from the same cores. Overall, the spatio-lateral continuity of the deposits based on sedimentary correlation was poor and biostratigraphic correlation was nearly impossible. This indicates that only the largest, most robust, sand-rich storm layers survive in the Folly Island marsh strata and these layers were probably buried quickly and escaped extensive bioturbation.
High-precision U-Pb zircon geochronology of the Late Triassic Chinle Formation, Petrified Forest National Park (Arizona, USA): Temporal constraints on the early evolution of dinosaurs
Jahandar Ramezani et al., Dept. of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 77 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, USA; doi: 10.1130/B30433.1.
The Upper Triassic Chinle Formation of the Colorado Plateau in southwestern United States preserves an important record of vertebrate evolution and environmental change, but its geologic interpretation is hampered by problematic regional correlations and a lack of reliable age data. Sedimentary rocks of volcanic origin were collected from the Chinle Formation exposed in the Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona, USA, within the context of 31 detailed measured stratigraphic sections, and were analyzed by the U-Pb ID-TIMS method. High-precision age results from nine tuffaceous beds bracket nearly 300 meters of strata that were deposited between 225 million years ago and 208 million years ago (or younger), spanning approximately the entire Norian Stage of the Late Triassic. The new geochronology of the Chinle Formation provides new insights into its intermittent depositional history and underscores the potential pitfalls of correlation of fluvial rock units over long distances. This new data presented by J. Ramezani of MIT and colleagues permit a significant time overlap between the lower Chinle sequence and the Ischigualasto Formation of northwestern Argentina, from which some of the earliest dinosaurs and their near relatives have been discovered. Near contemporaneity and faunal similarities of the trans-American deposits imply that early dinosaur evolution occurred rapidly across the Americas.
Water tracks and permafrost in Taylor Valley, Antarctica: Extensive and shallow groundwater connectivity in a cold desert ecosystem
Joseph S. Levy et al., Dept. of Geology, Portland State University, Portland, Oregon 97210, USA; doi: 10.1130/B30436.1.
Water tracks are a new class of Antarctic landform that pipe shallow groundwater through permafrost, routing moisture across an otherwise hyperarid and barren polar desert. Because water tracks do not flow overland like streams, water tracks constitute a cryptic or "shadow" hydrological system in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica. Water tracks in Antarctica represent a new addition to the Antarctic hydrological paradigm, adding a groundwater component to a hydrological system that was previously thought to be dominated by overland flow through seasonal streams. Joseph S. Levy of Portland State University and colleagues note that the only evidence of water-track presence is linear zones of enhanced soil moisture (visible as dark streaks at the permafrost surface -- similar to slope streaks on Mars) and intense soil geochemical signatures. Like water tracks in the Arctic, water tracks in Antarctica are major determiners of where soil moisture, salts, and nutrients end up on permafrost hillslopes. Water in the water tracks acts as a thermal buffer, dramatically altering the seasonal freezing and thawing of the permafrost. Because water tracks in Antarctica drain from the high mountain peaks down to closed basin lakes on the valley floors, water tracks provide hydrological and ecological connectivity in the cold, polar desert.
Interconnected sills and inclined sheet intrusions control shallow magma transport in the Ferrar large igneous province, Antarctica
James D. Muirhead et al., School of Environment, University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand; doi: 10.1130/B30455.1.
Immediately prior to the breakup of Gondwana, approximately 183 million years ago, 2.5 x 105 km cubed of magma intruded along the margin of the east Antarctic craton. Remnants of this voluminous magmatic activity are spectacularly exposed as intrusive sheets and sills of the Ferrar Large Igneous Province, Antarctica. James D. Muirhead of the University of Auckland and colleagues examine sheet swarms in South Victoria Land in order to address two fundamental questions: (1) what mechanism controls magma ascent in large-scale volcanic systems, and (2) what was the nature of the magmatic-tectonic regime prevailing in Antarctica and parts of Gondwana during the Jurassic? The predominance of regionally extensive sills throughout the Ferrar province demonstrates that magma travelled laterally by intruding bedding planes and uplifting overlying strata. Buckling of strata at the edges of these sills resulted in the formation of shallowly to moderately dipping inclined sheet intrusions, which acted as sub-vertical magma pathways. The final expression of the Ferrar plumbing system is of interconnected sills and inclined sheets, which fed explosive volcanism in various parts of South Victoria Land and, by inference, flood-basalt lavas. Muirhead and colleagues conclude that the predominance of these sill-fed inclined sheets, rather than steeply dipping dikes, indicates that the upper 4 km of the crust were not affected by a rift system during the Jurassic.
Subedifice collapse of an andesitic stratovolcano: The Maitahi Formation, Taranaki Peninsula, New Zealand
David R. Gaylord et al., School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Washington State University, Webster Physical Sciences Building, Pullman, Washington 99164-2812, USA; doi: 10.1130/B30141.1.
David R. Gaylord of Washington State University and colleagues reconstruct the depositional history of the Maitahi Formation, an approximately quarter-million-year old debris-avalanche deposit that resulted from the collapse of Pouakai Volcano, an extinct stratovolcano located on the Taranaki peninsula of New Zealand. Blanketing an area greater than 350 km squared and totaling greater than 7.5 square kilometers in volume, the Maitahi debris avalanche traveled over 20 km from its source at speeds that likely exceeded 100 km per hour. The Maitahi debris avalanche deposited essentially intact, meters- to tens-of-meters-- wide pieces (megaclasts) of the original volcano as well as megaclasts derived from relatively weak mudstone-rich bedrock strata underlying the volcano. The incorporation of abundant bedrock megaclasts in the Maitahi Formation implies a deep-seated collapse origin that distinguishes it from all other Taranaki peninsula volcanic debris-avalanche deposits. Most if not all of the more than a dozen other Taranaki debris avalanches were generated by relatively shallow collapses of the still-active Egmont Volcano. Deep-seated, non-eruption produced, and probably earthquake-triggered volcano collapses, such as the one that produced the Maitahi Formation, speak to the role that weak bedrock foundations can play in promoting such cataclysmic events in similar, and often inhabited, geologic settings worldwide.
Lateral transport of suevite inferred from 3-D shape-fabric analysis: Evidence from the Ries impact crater, Germany
Cornelia Meyer et al., Museum of Natural History Berlin, Leibniz Institute at the Humboldt University Berlin, Invalidenstrasse 43, 10115 Berlin, Germany; doi: 10.1130/B30393.1.
Today, most impact scientists believe that suevite was formed in a raining-down process out of an ejecta cloud which is formed during a meteorite impact. Such clouds are imagined to be similar to a mushroom cloud after an atomic blast. Some scientists suggest that the suevite was transported horizontally. In order to differentiate between these two ideas, Cornelia Meyer of the Museum of Natural History in Berlin and colleagues analyzed suevite samples from the Ries crater, Germany, using 3-D measurements. Their observations indicate that it is more likely that the suevite material was transported by a lateral flow-like process known for pyroclastic flows from volcanic eruptions.
Late Neogene chronology and sequence stratigraphy of mixed carbonate-siliciclastic deposits of the Cibao Basin, Dominican Republic
Donald F. McNeill et al., Division of Marine Geology and Geophysics, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, University of Miami, 4600 Rickenbacker Causeway, Miami, Florida 33149, USA; doi: 10.1130/B30391.1.
This study by Donald F. McNeill of the University of Miami and colleagues of the rocks in the northern valley of the Dominican Republic follows in a long line of research that has examined the evolutionary history of marine life ranging from about 6 million years ago to 3 million years ago. The Cibao Valley is a classic fossil locality because the shallow marine species living during that time are beautifully preserved, encased in beds of mud that have sealed them from major alteration. Prior to being uplifted and exposed, the Cibao Valley was at one time an east-west seaway rich in molluscs, coral reefs, and many other forms of marine life. Paleontologists have been coming to this valley for more than 100 years searching for fossils and examining them through time. The first scientific studies occurred in the 1850s with the study of fossil marine molluscs. Carlotta Maury, one of the few female paleontologists of the early 20th century, carried out the first comprehensive study of fossil molluscs and other invertebrates. This current study by McNeill and colleagues provides a refined timeline of deposition to the famous fossil-rich deposits in the Cibao basin. This refined age dating and better understanding of the conditions under which the fossils were deposited provides paleontologists with a better history of when species originated and when they became extinct. Geologists can now compare the differences between today's marine species and those of the past to better evaluate the stability of coral reef ecosystems, and the nature of originations and extinctions since the time of the Cibao fossils.

- Abstract
- We present an analysis of the relative bias between early- and late-type galaxies in the Two-degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) – as defined by the η parameter of Madgwick et al., which quantifies the spectral type of galaxies in the survey. We calculate counts in cells for flux-limited samples of early- and late-type galaxies, using approximately cubical cells with sides ranging from 7 to 42 h−1 Mpc . We measure the variance of the counts in cells using the method of Efstathiou et al., which we find requires a correction for a finite volume effect equivalent to the integral constraint bias of the autocorrelation function. Using a maximum-likelihood technique we fit lognormal models to the one-point density distribution, and develop methods of dealing with biases in the recovered variances resulting from this technique. We then examine the joint density distribution function, f(δE, δL) , and directly fit deterministic bias models to the joint counts in cells. We measure a linear relative bias of ≈1.3, which does not vary significantly with ℓ. A deterministic linear bias model is, however, a poor approximation to the data, especially on small scales (ℓ≤ 28 h−1 Mpc) where deterministic linear bias is excluded at high significance. A power-law bias model with index b1≈ 0.75 is a significantly better fit to the data on all scales, although linear bias becomes consistent with the data for ℓ≳ 40 h−1 Mpc .

The two Ryans went 1-1 and 2-2…you can guess which one was the one. Photo: KTM Images
At the 45th running of the Hangtown National Ryan Villopoto and Ken Roczen made clean sweeps of both classes.
Yoshimura Suzuki's James Stewart holeshot Moto 1, but Ryan Villopoto took over the lead on the opening lap with Ryan Dungey knocking on Stewart's door. By moto's end it was Villopoto, Dungey and Stewart. Trey Canard ran fourth the whole moto and closed in on James Stewart towards the end of moto 1. Behind Canard came Justin Barcia and Andrew Short. Lots of riders had problems in moto 1, as evidenced by Mike Alessi's 12th, Broc Tickle's 14th, Dean Wilson's 17h, Justin Brayton's 33rd and Malcolm Stewart's 36th.
Stewart holeshot again in Moto 2, but this time had to fight off Ryan Dungey for the lead?but it wasn't long before Ryan Villopoto passed both of them to take his second win of the day. Dungey was second and Stewart was third. Chad Reed had the flu and scored in 10th in moto one, but had nothing left for moto 2.
Ryan Villopoto said: "Hangtown has always been a rough place for me so for the bike to feel like it did today was amazing. I'm obviously happy with that and happy with how I rode. I feel like we're in a really good place and it's only going to get better from here."

Fresh off a wrist injury from Supercross, Blake Baggett pulled an uncharacteristic holeshot in moto 1 with the KTM duo of Marvin Musquin and Ken Roczen quickly moving by him. Musquin led three laps before his teammate took over the lead for the remainder of Moto 1. Eli Tomac would eventually get Baggett and Musquin to take second in moto 1, with Baggett third and Musquin fourth. Cooper Webb was the best of the new crop with a solid fifth in his Pro debut. Unfortunately, he had issues in moto 2.
Zach Bell grabbed the holeshot in moto 2, but Ken Roczen and Blake Baggett were by quickly. Roczen would go on to win with Baggett in second and Tomac in third. Osborne held on for fifth behind Marvin Musquin. It was Ken Roczen's first AMA National victory. Adam Cianciarulo did not race because of the flu. He will be in Colorado next Aaturday.
Ken Roczen said: "Coming here, I didn't really know what to expect because I sort of took some time to have fun during the week off. It's important to me to keep things fun but next week it's time to put in some work and make my performance even better."

New Zealand's Courtney Duncan swept both motos of the abbreviated WMX Women's Championship on a YZ125 two-stroke (there are only two races left in their season?fishing seems like a good hobby for the women racers in 2013). Japan's Sayaka Kaneshiro was second overall with a 2-3 score, while Taylor Higgins rounded out the top three. Six-time WMX champion Jessica Patterson finished second in Moto 2 but bad luck in the first moto gave her 10th overall for the day. Former Champion Ashley Fiolek has retired from racing.
Courtney Duncan qualified 4 seconds a lap faster than the second place women rider, Taylor Higgins, but Duncan's 2:13.5 still wouldn't have made the cut in the 250 men's class (where the final timed qualfied rider, Trevor Ivey, did a 2:08.8). Duncan's 2:13 would have qualified her in 66th place in the 250 National class.

CrawfordsvillePolice Department
Office of Media and Communications
Crawfordsville Police advise buyers to beware when meeting up with people selling items on Craigslist. Crawfordsville PD has seen a recent increase in robberies of people who thought they were meeting someone selling something, but instead used the opportunity to commit a crime.
Most recently, on Wednesday, December 29, 2012 at 9:45 p.m., a man from Crawfordsville met who he thought were people selling an iPhone advertised on Craigslist, but they turned out to be robbers. The victim met the two suspects in a McDonalds parking lot near N. 4th St. and W. Main Avenue. He allowed them into
The victim deribed the first suspect as a black male with a dark complexion, 15-20 years old, 5'05" and 120 pounds. He was armed with a dark handgun. The second suspect was a black male with a light complexion, 15-17 years old, 6'00" and 140 pounds. Each was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and dark colored pants.
On January 9, a man was robbed when he went to the 3700 block of N. 17th St. to buy a car after responding to a Craigslist ad.
The victim reported the crime and several hours later, a Crawfordsville Police Detective investigating the robbery arranged to see the car advertised on Craigslist. Posing as a potential buyer and with additional officers nearby, the detective met the suspects in the same area where they robbed the original victim. Police arrested all of the suspects.
"If the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is a set-up," said inspector Darryl Winston of the Crawfordsville Police Department's Criminal Investigation Bureau. "Don't allow strangers into your home or car and don't carry large amounts of cash." Winston also advised people to never leave a well-lit public space with a seller/buyer. Rather, conduct the transaction in public.
While many items posted in classified ads such as Craigslist are placed for legitimate reasons, the Crawfordsville Police Department reminds the community to be cautious when meeting people through ads. Whether a seller or buyer, insist that the meeting be in a public place, in a familiar area and avoid meeting anyone alone.
If the meet location is in a secluded area, in front of a vacant home or if something does not seem right, reschedule. If the seller/buyer is reluctant to do so, it may not a legitimate transaction. Crawfordsville Police also urge anyone who feels they witnessed suspicious activity of this nature, to notify the Crawfordsville Police Department so Crawfordsville PD may investigate and may prevent a crime from happening.

I just started pumping with a brand new Pump in
Style this week since I'll be going back to work at the end of November. One of the tubes keeps getting filled with milk. The manual just says to look for kinks and I don't see any. I had to pump on one side at a time this morning because of this and that takes a lot more time! Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it? Thanks!
