The Jackson Tourism Development Authority chose the logo by a narrow 6-to-5 vote. It pictures the words ŌĆ£Play OnŌĆØ sandwiched underneath a mountain range. The runner-up was a logo with the same words in a playful font sitting on top of an arrow.
The vote came after several tries to hone in on the right image for the county. The Jackson tourism agency hired the branding company BCF to design the logo, the same Virginia-based company that helped come up with the new Jackson tourism slogan ŌĆ£Play On.ŌĆØ
But the majority of the tourism board wasnŌĆÖt fond of the first design BCF pitched ŌĆö the one with the arrow. Some on the board felt it looked too playful and juvenile, although some on the board liked it and continued to prefer it over the more classic look that was ultimately chosen.
Nonetheless, BCF made several trips back to the drawing board, and a few heated debates and brainstorming sessions finally yielded a unified logo and slogan ready to be wielded for marketing and promotion purposes.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖd be a great bumper sticker,ŌĆØ said County Commissioner Vicki Greene, a county liaison to the tourism board, following the vote.
Having a countywide logo would be a great opportunity to make T-shirts, caps, bumper stickers, and so on, agreed Merrily Teasley, tourism board member and owner of the Balsam Mountain Inn. Like Outer Banks has its ŌĆ£OBX,ŌĆØ Jackson County could use itŌĆÖs newly christened logo for similar purposes.
ŌĆ£The mountains with ŌĆśJackson CountyŌĆÖ and the simplicity of the design is going to make it easily recognizable,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£It might distinguish us from the rest of North Carolina.ŌĆØ
But excitement on the TDA soon gave way to concern over how to manage the ŌĆśPlay OnŌĆÖ slogan and the accompanying logo and authority members began the discussion about how to promote the brandŌĆÖs use while at the same time protecting it from abuse.
ŌĆ£What happens if a pornographer decides to set up in Jackson County,ŌĆØ said Authority Finance Committee Chairman Robert Jumper. ŌĆ£Is it carte blanche use of this logo?ŌĆØ
There does need to be some scrutiny as to what businesses and organizations can use the logo, he added. The question also surfaced about what color scheme should accompany the logo and if businesses or entities using it can apply their own colors to it. Consistency might be lost if that happened, said Stephanie Edwards, executive director of the Cashiers Area Chamber of Commerce.
ŌĆ£I do think we should have standards for that. You donŌĆÖt see the IBM logo in a different color,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£If not, I would expect a lot of variation.ŌĆØ

February 16, 2000: NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is giving astronomers a ringside seat to a never before seen violent celestial "main attraction" unfolding in a galaxy 169,000 light-years away. The knockout event is the collision of the fastest moving debris from an immense stellar explosion seen in Feb. 1987 with the gas ring that circles that site.See the rest:
The image at left, taken Feb. 2, 2000, shows the glowing gas ring around supernova 1987A. The gas, excited by light from the explosion, has been fading for a decade, but parts of it are now being heated by the collision of an invisible shock wave from the supernova explosion. In the picture on the right, image processing was used to emphasize four new bright knots of superheated gas that were discovered during the February 2000 observations. The brightest knot, at far right, was seen in 1997. Astronomers have been waiting several years to see more of the ring light up as the supernova shock wave smashes into it.
No. Astronomers believe the ring is made up of old gas that was ejected by the star 20,000 years ago, long before it exploded. The ring's presence was given away when it was heated by the intense burst of light from the explosion, which scientists observed in 1987. The ring has been slowly fading ever since then as the gas cools.
Astronomers have collected more information on this supernova than any other. For the first time, astronomers watched a star in a nearby galaxy explode as a supernova and then searched archival photos of that region and identified the star that created the violent event. Since then, astronomers have been monitoring the expanding wave of debris from the explosion. Previous Hubble spectroscopic studies and radio and X-ray telescopic observations of the expanding supernova shock wave led astronomers to anticipate that the titanic collision was only a matter of time. As far back as 1992, astronomers predicted that the ring would become ablaze with light as it absorbs the full force of the crash.

Lowery in intensive care in Georgia hospital
Published On: May 06 2013 09:02:17 AM CDT
Lowery was moving his extremities and was awake in intensive care at Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville, Ga., according to family spokesman Doug Stutsman,
The impact of the early Saturday morning crash in Georgia ejected Lowery, a native of Cleveland, Ga., approximately 100 feet from his overturned 2006 Nissan Altima.
The extent of Lowery's injuries were yet to be released.

- Title
- A mesoscopic modelling approach to anaesthetic action on brain electrical activity
- Author(s)
- Liley, David T. J.; Bojak, Ingo; Foster, Brett L.
- Abstract
- While history records many instances in which various substances such as wine, hemp and opium were used to deaden sensibility to the pain of surgery, it was not until William Morton's public demonstration of the painless extraction of a tooth in 1846 using ether that the modern era of anaesthesia can be said to have begun. Within a few years of this demonstration chloroform, diethyl ether and nitrous oxide had all attained a widespread, and ardent, clinical following. While these initial agents were variously highly toxic (chloroform), combustible (diethyl ether, chloroform) or of insufficient potency (nitrous oxide), by the end of the 20th century a range of intravenous and volatile general anaesthetic agents (GAs) had been developed that had overcome all of these limitations. Anaesthesia is now among the safest of all routine clinical procedures, with the mortality attributable to anaes-thesia having fallen from 1 per 10,000 healthy patients in 1950 (when mortality rates began to be systematically assayed) to less than 1 per 250,000 (Kohn et al, 2000). However, the dramatic advances in the clinical certitude and confidence with which anaesthetic agents are administered have not been parallelled by a similar increase in our knowledge of the neural mechanisms responsible for their ability to remove consciousness. While the last three decades or so have seen an explosion in our knowledge regarding the molecular and cellular targets of anaesthetic agents (Franks, 2008; Ishizawa, 2007; Rudolph and Antkowiak, 2004; Grasshoff et al, 2005; Hemmings et al, 2005; Campagna et al, 2003; Franks and Lieb, 1994), we remain largely ignorant regarding the mechanisms by which these microscopic effects produce alterations in large scale neuronal network activity and hence behaviour. Modeling the large scale electrophysiological effects of anaesthetic agents may help to mechanistically unify the multiple cellular and molecular targets of anaesthetic agents that have been identified to date.

Agricultural Conservation Easement Program
/ Mississippi Grassland Reserve Program (GRP)
Loading Tree...
The Grassland Reserve Program (GRP) is a voluntary program offering landowners and operators who manage livestock on private and tribal lands the opportunity to protect, restore, and enhance grassland. The program emphasizes support for grazing operations, enhancement of plant and animal biodiversity; and protection of grassland under the threat of conversion of uses other than grazing.
The benefits of GRP include protecting vital grazing lands from conversion, promotion agricultural stability, maintaining and improving wildlife habitat and biodiversity of wildlife populations, and increasing forage production.
The landowners and operator approved for GRP funding retain ownership of the land and the right to use the land for grazing and other compatible uses.
Administration of GRP is a coordinated effort between the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). FSA is the lead agency responsible for the administration of rental contracts and financial activities of the program, while NRCS has the lead responsibility for technical assistance, regulatory compliance, and easement administration.
GRP has not been authorized and no applications are being taken at this time.

OT: I would imagine Diablo Jamble is crested by the friction in the air via rapid leg movement....that's a physics deffinition anyhow....but yes he uses it post time skip...basically the same way he did before the time skip
Bag of flaming dog doo? i don't know exactly. i think he vibrates his leg to where it creates enough friction without him having to use his other leg. i don't know mangas are crazy. And as for the narutobase dude, come on who cares? What are you a librarian.
wait do you want a logical explanation for something that is illogical??
the same way from pre-time skip, he probably spins off panel or it just light up automatically

He rotates and heat is generated form the friction which sets his legs on fire for the diable jamble..

Staff and wire reports
DES MOINES, Iowa — The U.S. Department of Agriculture will close 259 domestic offices, labs and other facilities as part of an effort to save $150 million per year, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced Monday.
While the closures and other cost-cutting steps will affect the USDA headquarters in Washington and operations in 46 states, the savings will be relatively small in the context of the agency's $145 billion budget.
The closures follow a review of USDA operations done as part of the Obama administration's efforts to cut waste, Vilsack said.
"We must innovate, modernize and be better stewards of the taxpayers' dollars," he said in a prepared statement released before his speech before the American Farm Bureau Federation in Honolulu.
The USDA did not immediately provide details on which offices would be closed or whether employees would be laid off. An outline given to The Associated Press before Vilsack's speech said many offices had few employees or were near others.
Some closures had already been announced. The USDA said last year it would shut down 10 agricultural research stations, including the only one in Alaska, as the Obama administration looked to cut $42 million from the USDA's Agricultural Research Service budget.
Attempts to contact USDA officials for Clovis and Portales were unsuccessful Monday, and an official at the Fort Sumner Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services office said the office had received no details beyond the press reports.

Another banner year for La Crosse's Rotary Lights
LA CROSSE, Wis. -- La Crosse's Rotary Lights display continues shining brightly down in Riverside Park. The display of more than two-million lights does more than add some holiday cheer to the park, it's also a fundraiser for local food pantries.
Organizers set their food donation goal at two-million items this year and the president of Rotary Lights says the early count shows they'll easily make that goal.
Our lack of snow may be helping get crowds down to the park with their donations in-hand. "The concern a lot of times with families when they come down with Grandma and Grandpa or the young kids is that they want to make sure there's no ice or snow piles to climb through. We haven't had that so I think that has helped a lot with attendance," says Pat Stephens.
You can check out the Rotary lights display for yourself every night from now through New Year's Eve.

Edmond Halley letter streaks across our imagination
The famous astronomer and mathematician, Edmond Halley (1656-1742), was the first to identify the periodicity of the comet now known as Halley's Comet in 1705. Visible to the naked eye, it appears every 75 or 76 years (it last appeared in 1986). But in 1676, only 20 years old, Halley arrived at the South Atlantic island of St. Helena (yes, the same as Napoleon's site of exile) where he set up an observatory with a 24-foot long aerial telescope and cataloged 341 southern stars, and where he wrote the 1677 letter shown here.
While a full transcription is available to anyone who asks, due to its length, only one especially interesting portion is transcribed here (all spelling and punctuation preserved; the Latin in the second line means "uninhabitable because of the heat").
St Helena Novemb 21 1677
Dear Sr
… The Island lies in the Torrid Zone as it pleased the ancients to call it, but I assure you it is not inhabitabilis estu but even under the line the heat doth not exceed temperature; and had I the company and accommodations here that England affords, I should prefer a habitation here where neither heat nor cold infest us, I find no fault with the Island, but only that it is not favourable to my purpose for we are almost continually covered with clouds, which hinder us from the sight of the starrs, sometimes for six weeks together, so that I am almost persuaded, I must returne without the full accomplishment of my intents, wch will be the greatest trouble to me, that can possibly happen, by reason I shall give the world cause to judg hardly, and censure me for failing in a thing I had undertaken, but all those that know me, I have the confidence to think, that it will not be attributed either to want of skill or endeavor that I am so unfortunate;
In 1946, one of Haverford's august alumni, Christopher Morley (class of 1910) presented the college with this extraordinary letter. He was moved to make this generous donation upon seeing it offered in a Goodspeed's Bookshop (Boston) catalog. He wrote to the dealer "…we used to look off over the open campus northeast of Barclay Hall at Haverford College, spring of 1910, and regard old Halley's comet streaming in the firmament as an omen for approaching graduation." Indeed, 1910 was one of the periodic appearances of the comet.
The letter is a part of the Charles Roberts Autograph Letters Collection, replete with many fine letters by scientists such as Halley, as well as from all other areas the human mind can imagine. This and any other of the letters in the collection is available for study.

Final deals clear the wayToby Talbot / AP Photo
House Speaker Shap Smith, left, confers with Rep. Janet Ancel, center, next to Sen. John Campbell during a meeting on what was expected to be the final day of the legislative session Tuesday.
MONTPELIER — Eleventh-hour negotiations on education funding, taxes, health care and a fee bill made for a frenetic day in Montpelier as the Vermont Legislature worked late into the night on what would be the final day of the 2013 legislative session.
As of 9 p.m. Tuesday, the House had yet to give final approval to a $5.2 billion budget that would be its last order of business before the fall of the final gavel. But lawmakers were poised to celebrate a late-night adjournment that would be capped with a speech in the House chamber from Gov. Peter Shumlin.
The no-new-taxes pledge to which Shumlin, House Speaker Shap Smith and Senate President Pro Tem John Campbell agreed last week made for some late-session budget reductions that pared the increase in the general fund to just 4 percent.
Comparing it against the 5.8 percent general fund increase Shumlin proposed in January, many Republican lawmakers said Tuesday the 2014 spending plan should be considered a victory for fiscal conservatives.
"You never get everything you want on the budget," said Rep. Tom Koch, a Barre Republican. "But it has moved immensely from where it was to what we asked for."
If Democrats showed restraint on spending, they were more willing to flex their single-party rule on social issues. The last two days in Montpelier featured final votes on the slate of social reforms that came to define the first half of the biennium.
From marijuana decriminalization and driver's licenses for unauthorized immigrants to end-of-life choices and the legalization of hemp, the Democratic super-majority saved its might for the social arena.
"To me this was a blockbuster year," said Senate Majority Leader Philip Baruth. "A number of these things we weren't even able to have a debate on last year."
Frazzled lawmakers spent Tuesday waging last-gasp efforts to push their pet bills over the finish line before time expired. Rep. David Sharpe, a Bristol Democrat, watched his legislative baby — a piece of education funding reform legislation — die and come back to life numerous times, often within the span of an hour, before finally winning an agreement that saved at least a portion of the bill.
The bill's most significant provision would lower the threshold at which school districts will suffer financial penalties for "excess spending."
After raising the statewide property tax rate by 5 cents earlier this year, Sharpe said, "we felt an obligation to do something with regard to suppressing spending."
"To go home without doing something about education spending is not acceptable to me, and I think many others in this building," Sharpe said.
A bill that would have required school districts to provide at least 10 hours a week of free schooling to 3- and 4-year-old children was less successful, though proponents of "universal pre-K" say they'll pick up the fight next year.
Perhaps the highest-profile defeat Tuesday came when House and Senate lawmakers announced they had thrown in the towel on campaign finance reform legislation. The Legislature's failure to act this year, according to Secretary of State Jim Condos, means "the public will have less opportunity for transparency and accountability in our elections."
Another fierce negotiation came in the "technical tax bill," where leaders in the House and Senate jockeyed for provisions prized by their respective bodies. The most significant change came on what has come to be known as the cloud tax.
The Shumlin administration had until Tuesday looked to have won its fight to impose a moratorium on the tax on remotely accessed software. Legislators at the last minute decided to withdraw that exemption and will expose those software transactions to a 6 percent tax expected to raise $2.3 million next year.

Research council funds Laurier researcher's digital NatureWatch partnership
Jun 3/13| For Immediate Release
Abby Goodrum, Vice-President, Research
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
WATERLOO Wilfrid Laurier University researcher Robert McLeman has received funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) for his digital NatureWatch 2.0 community partnership project. Minister of State (Science and Technology) Gary Goodyear announced the Partnership Development Grant recipients at the Congress of the Social Sciences and Humanities in Victoria on May 31.
McLeman, an associate professor in Lauriers Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, will receive $199,000 over two years to lead a project entitled NatureWatch 2.0: reconnecting Canadians with nature in a digital age. The goal of the project is to create a new, Canada-wide generation of enthusiastic, educated and engaged citizen scientists, to provide them with the tools to have fun learning about the environment around them, and to engage them with researchers and one another in environmental reporting and monitoring.
Growing out of Lauriers collaborative research culture, Professor McLemans project will provide Canadians with the digital tools to participate in environmental data collection and has the potential to foster long-lasting environmental engagement, said Abby Goodrum, Laurier vice-president: research.
McLemans partners in this project include the David Suzuki Foundation, Nature Canada, Desire2Learn, and the University of Ottawa. The partnership team will develop cutting-edge smartphone and online collaboration tools for citizen science and nature education.
McLeman launched www.RinkWatch.org, another citizen scientist initiative, in January. The website invited Canadians who maintain a backyard or neighbourhood hockey rink to report skating conditions over the winter, providing valuable data about the impact of climate change. The site garnered hundreds of participants from across North America.
The SSHRC Partnership Development Grant program is designed to provide support to partnerships to develop research and related activities in the social sciences and humanities, including knowledge mobilization and the meaningful involvement of students and new scholars. Partnership Development Grant projects may also test partnership approaches that serve as models for other researcher partnerships on the regional, national, or international level.

By Gabriel Monte: CNJ staff writer
Cedrick Rael stood outside the Lyceum Theater Saturday and watched independent filmmakers and enthusiasts sharing ideas about movies.
This is the best part of a film festival for him, said Rael, who founded the Fiery Film Festival six years ago.
More than 100 people filed into the Lyceum Saturday for this year's Fiery Film Fest, which screened about 30 domestic and international independent films.
This year's attendance doubles last year's figures, Rael said. Last year's Fest ran into competition for audiences against other events and bad weather as well, he said.
A five-person panel, including actor Keith Hamilton Cobbs, who played Damon Porter on "The Young and the Restless," judged the films. The best overall film received a $500 prize.
The Fest started Friday with a showcase of 10 films, two of which were entries in Saturday's competition.
Rael said the Fest's popularity has garnered more entries from abroad this year. About nine films came from France, Spain, Brazil and Germany.
Rael attributes the film festival's recognition to vigorous campaigning on Internet forums and in film magazines.
"Sticking around for six years makes them think you're legit," he said.
Rael said he hopes the Fest will feature more local entries. He taught a seminar Saturday morning about making and distributing independent films.
"There's a lot of talent in this town that hasn't been tapped yet," he said. "I'm all about promoting local talent."
Approximately five short films came from New Mexico, including Rael's own film, "His Eyes, My Eyes," which was shot in Clovis and stars Clovis natives Ashley Southard, a Clovis High School senior, and Caleb Brandon.
Clovis filmmaker Payton Ware has competed in the Fest since 2003. His second entry in this year's Fest titled, "Lit Up," was shot in Clovis.
"I think it's neat to have something here that showcases independent films," said Ware, who has entered the Flatlands Film Festival in Lubbock, the Santa Monica Film Festival and online film festivals. "But I'd really like to see more support … It's definitely something that can grow into a major event."
Jared Lamp, an aspiring filmmaker, said he would definitely enter the film fest next year. He said he will be making a short film in November.
"For being in the region we are, it's a great effort, it's had a great range of films," he said. "It's been very eclectic with the international and local films."

Rutland investor fined, suspended for bad advice
A Rutland securities broker has lost his license and been fined $97,000 by the state for advising some of his clients to make overly risky investments and then manipulating financial records to mislead his supervisors.
George J. Lincoln IV, of Shrewsbury, worked as a registered broker-dealer at the CCO Investment Services Corp., office in Rutland from 2005 to December serving on average between 900 to 1,400, clients a year, according to a stipulation and consent order filed by the state Department of Financial Regulation.
Following a complaint received in 2011, the state agency conducted an investigation that determined Lincoln had advised some of his clients to make investments that were too fraught with risk given their financial and personal profiles.
The clients either had a limited amount of money to spend or limited investments, said Dale Schaft, a spokeswoman for DFR.
The states order, entered late last month, indicated Lincoln had omitted or contradicted information sent to his superiors about at least 12 of his clients.
The information he altered wasnt targeted to a specific age, gender or financial profile, according to the report.
The omission and alterations failed to indicate accurately ... the number of dependents of the client, retirement status of the client, risk tolerance, net worth, property holdings, investment-time horizon and investment knowledge of the client, according to the report.
How many investors received bad advice and the adverse financial consequences of that advice is unclear. Schaft said she didnt have figures about affected investors, although she said not all of those who followed Lincolns high-risk recommendations came to ruin. She said she believed that most of the investors were Vermonters.
Schaft said CCO reimbursed investors who experienced losses and she said the company paid $175,000 to Vermont for failing to adequately supervise Lincoln.
CCO has taken corrective actions to protect Vermonters from being placed into speculative investments that are out of line with their investment objectives, DFR Commissioner Susan Donegan said. Protecting Vermont consumers is the departments No. 1 priority.
A CCO spokeswoman reached Thursday said the company had no comment on the case.
Lincolns license to sell securities in Vermont is suspended for 10 months, according to the states order. At the end of the suspension, Lincoln can reapply for his license.

The 70-minute movie, "Sustaining and Enriching Life in South Texas: The Story of the San Antonio River," was developed by SARA and produced by Thompson Marketing and Ten-Eighty Productions. The public can come see the film, free of charge, at Kenedy City Hall, 303 W Main St, on Thursday, May 9 at 6 p.m. Refreshments will be provided to the public.
"This engaging film covers the history and environmental issues associated with the San Antonio River," said Suzanne Scott, SARA's General Manager. "While the footage will open some eyes as to the vast region the river flows through, viewers will also see the natural beauty of river and learn about the challenges facing the watershed and how SARA and others are working to ensure the river's future sustainability."
The film crew, led by Director Adam Stielstra, began filming in August 2012. They shot hours of footage along the entire length of the river and interviewed scientists, citizens and elected officials to obtain various perspectives of the river's past, present and future. Aerial photography, including footage from a robotic helicopter, takes viewers to vantage points of the river never seen before.
"The people we talked to along the way were very passionate about continuing the restoration of the San Antonio River," Stielstra said. "My favorite quote is 'The River isn't political, but there sure is a lot of politics involved with a resource like this.' That sentiment acknowledges the difficulties in managing the river, but it also notes that the communities along the river need to rally around the protection of the resource."
Moviegoers will also have the opportunity to enter a drawing by dropping their movie ticket stub into a container at the showing. Winners of the drawing will be awarded a prize that may include gift certificates from area restaurants like Barth's Restaurant, Polak's Sawsage Farm Restaurant, Jerry B's, and Subway.
The executive producer for SARA for the film is Steven Schauer, SARA's Manager of External Communications; Ken Ashe produced the film and Adam Stielstra directed. Well-known author and South Texas historian, Lewis Fisher, developed the majority of the script, with editing assistance from Steven Schauer, and Grammy-winning musician/producer Lloyd Maines wrote and performed an original film score. Special thanks should be given to Ten-Eighty Productions for generously donating over $30,000 in production and editing costs, and to Wayland Baptist University for contributing $5,000 to help offset SARA's cost to make the film.
The film features interviews with several members of SARA's board of directors, including Gaylon Oehlke, Sally Buchanan, Terry Baiamonte, Roberto Rodriguez and John Flieller; Wilson County Judge Marvin Quinney; Goliad County Judge David Bowman; former San Antonio
Mayor Lila Cockrell; Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff; San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro; officials from the National Park Service and Texas Parks and Wildlife; archeologists, SARA scientists and engineers; local historians; and many other local and business community leaders, such as Karnes County resident, Maggie Hunt.
A trailer of the film can be viewed at http://sa-riverfilm.com. SARA encourages the public to learn more about the San Antonio River by taking advantage of these free screenings. (
SARA officials said the film will be shown in Wilson and Goliad counties later in the coming months. Details about these showings will be released at a later date.

State in line to face 'grand challenges' for engineering
With help from people around the world, the National Academy of Sciences a few years back outlined 14 "grand challenges" for engineering in the 21st century - any one of which, if met, could improve how we live.
Here's what the academy outlined as "grand challenges," or barriers to a brighter future that could be cleared with the right science and innovation: Make solar energy affordable, provide energy from fusion, develop carbon sequestration methods, manage the nitrogen cycle, provide access to clean water, restore and improve urban infrastructure, advance health informatics, engineer better medicines, reverse-engineer the brain, prevent nuclear terror, secure cyberspace, enhance virtual reality, advance personalized learning, and engineer the tools for scientific discovery. »Read Full Article(1)

Black Friday creeps into Thanksgiving Day
For more than two decades, Julie Griebenow lined up in the early morning darkness outside a retail store - usually Toys "R" Us - on the day after Thanksgiving.
But last year, when retailers began moving up the starting times for Black Friday, she found herself queuing with other shoppers at 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving. And it looks like those early-morning starts for her annual shopping adventure are gone for good. »Read Full Article(22)
Walker's Point attracts local food, beverage makers
It's nearly inevitable: You see a McDonald's, and there's a Burger King nearby. Car dealerships? They flock together like birds of a feather. Ditto with gas stations, usually on opposite sides of the same well-traveled street.
So it makes sense that within a block or so of one another, in the Walker's Point neighborhood, Milwaukee has three businesses that make local foods and beverages, with a fourth one moving in soon and others that may be on the way. »Read Full Article(11)

The lack of Captain America in your post is making me sad.
The dvd came out for Australia maybe a 25 days or so ago, brought on blu-ray and all.
Man I can't wait for Avengers to come out. Rumours for it in 2015...currently watching the movies that lead up to Avengers. Ironman, Thor, Captain America, etc.
Welcome to the golden age, where, like it or not, another awesome Marvel movie comes out ever two gah damn months.
I really liked it, up until the end, where they didn't kill Stark. It was such a good opportunity for a heartbreaking death scene, but no, they need him alive for an Iron Man 3
But otherwise, it was one of the best movies this year.
I wouldn't be able to handle Stark's death, I was glad they didn't. Poor Pepper if it does happen in Ironman 3.
erm....i watched avengers like 2mnths ago <.<
anyways,epic movie,all of em were great.there were so many cool scenes like where hulk pummeled loki classic
the movie was tight
Awesome movie, I loved it^^ And Im glad that tony didnt die, That would've sucked D:

Election finance filings go real-timeBy Neal P. Goswami
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | August 07,2014MONTPELIER Campaign finance data should be easier to file and faster for the public to digest with the new Vermont Campaign Finance Information System, said Secretary of State Jim Condos.
Condos, a second-term Democrat, said the new filing system, which went live Tuesday, gives candidates, political action committees and parties the ability to maintain records of their political financial activities and file campaign finance reports online.
It also allows Vermonters to see information in real time as reports are filed, Condos said. The system will allow candidates to enter both contribution and expenditure information into a searchable database.
Until now, individual reports, usually handwritten, had to be scoured for particular information. Most filings were done in person at the secretary of states office.
Condos called the new system a big step forward for financial transparency of political campaigns in Vermont.
The system is a component of a nearly $3 million project to update the elections section of the secretary of states website. Additional features will be added, including tracking of absentee ballots, election results and voter checklist data.
The secretary of states office said the project was initiated internally but funding has been appropriated by the Legislature and includes some federal money.
The filing system is voluntary through the 2014 election cycle, but it becomes mandatory Jan. 1. The system can be used during this cycle, Condos said. However, that means those seeking campaign finance information during this cycle will have to look at both the old and new systems.
The next couple months will give candidates a chance to acclimate to the new system at their own speed, Condos said in a news release. It will also give the public a glance at what is to come once we have mandatory usage in January 2015 a huge boost for transparency in the electoral system.
Condos said the filing system, and other planned upgrades, will make Vermont a leader in transparency.
The development of an online filing system that provides searchable information for the general public, in real time, has been long overdue, he said. The launch of this system brings Vermont to the forefront of the growing movement to bring greater transparency to campaign financing.
The new system can be accessed at campaignfinance.sec.state.vt.us.

The man behind the music
Legendary pop composer Van Dyke Parks gives a rare performance for Friends of South Pasadena Public Library
By Carl Kozlowski 02/21/2013
Van Dyke Parks, a composer, performer, producer and arranger who's been a key force behind some of the greatest pop music of the last 50 years, will be performing Wednesday in an extremely rare concert aimed at raising funds for Friends of the South Pasadena Library.
Parks, who's worked with such artists as Brian Wilson, U2, Randy Newman, Sheryl Crow, Frank Zappa, Ringo Starr and Harry Nilsson, among many others, has been a Pasadena resident for the past several years. However, being a noted recluse, he's never performed in the area — until now.
On Wednesday night, Parks, joined by Los Angeles indie singer Inara George and South Pasadena-based cult favorite Joe Henry, comes out from behind the curtain to perform in the Community Room of the South Pasadena Public Library in what promises to be a freewheeling romp through a host of pop styles.
The location of the concert, part of a year-long city celebration of South Pasadena's 125th anniversary as a city, is fitting. The library's Community Room was built in 1907 and features historic hand-painted beam ceilings, leaded glass windows and wrought iron and glass main doors — an acoustics-enhancing combination.
"I'm not a performer by profession," says Parks, speaking by phone with the Weekly a day before a business trip to Norway. "I'm really most comfortable behind the curtain as an arranger, orchestrator and got three kids through college doing that kind of job and producing records.
"It's a very rare thing to go out and do a show," he says. "But this is a combination of people who really have affection for South Pasadena, and it's really all about the library this night."
While Parks, 70, is a Mississippi native, he has long had ties to Pasadena. He rode the Super Chief train across the country from his hometown of Hattiesburg, Miss., in 1955 and got off in Pasadena "because I was told that was the thing to do." He stayed in Los Angeles, working as a teen actor until 1960, when he moved to Pittsburgh to major in music at the Carnegie Institute of Technology.
When he came back to Los Angeles in the mid-1960s, Parks found himself in high demand as a musician and arranger, eventually meeting Beach Boys lead singer and songwriter Brian Wilson in 1966 during the contentious creation of the classic album "Pet Sounds." While he chose to stay out of the behind-the-scenes dramas on that project, he helped Wilson extensively on the group's follow-up project, "Smile," until Wilson's excessive drug use drove him away.
"I think the '60s were a healthy thing, the counter-revolution with drugs part of it all, was a healthy catharsis," recalls Parks. "Brian's passion for drugs was overwhelming to me, and that's why I left the project when I did. It was a little too much to be of real practical value and would lead to destruction. Of course, it had a great deal to do with his psychological collapse.
"It was a very hard experience, but anyone who lived through the '60s had a hard experience," says Parks. "I don't think you can achieve anything without risking failure. I think you get to a place of great creative and beautiful conclusions through difficulty and adversity. 'Smile' is a case in point. It shows a great resiliency."
Indeed, "Smile" proved to be a project that never died. Parks and Wilson surprised the music world by teaming up on Parks' 1994 CD "Orange Crate Art" — a key step in Wilson's journey back to musical prominence after years in the mental wilderness. Then, nearly 40 years after its initial recording sessions fell apart under the weight of Wilson's mental health and drug use issues, Parks and Wilson reteamed to finish "Smile," which was released in 2004 to great acclaim from fans and critics alike.
They teamed up again in 2008 for a new Wilson CD, "That Lucky Old Sun," and just last week "Smile" received a special Grammy for a boxed-set edition that included not only the finished album but multiple hours of outtakes and alternate versions of songs.
"Seeing it get a Grammy is the icing on the cake, but I've enjoyed every artist I've worked for," says Parks. "I worked for Harry Nilsson. He was a real genius, a smart, smart man. I also loved Lowell George, Ry Cooder and Randy Newman, and now I'm working with a new generation, going to Oslo in two days to work with Grizzly Bear and Fleet Foxes."
Parks is proud to declare that he's working with a new generation "rather than sitting and dreaming who I was in the '60s," adding "I believe my best work is ahead of me." And he's happy to declare that for the past five years, the home base for his thriving career has been right here in the Crown City.
"What drew me to Pasadena was the eye contact people give you, and the social attitude is a little less pressured than Hancock Park in LA," says Parks. "And the attitude … I love just driving around this beautiful town and looking at all the houses I pretend that I own — the architecture, the plants and botanical nature of it, my wife is a docent at Eaton Canyon. We love to be on the edge of this super-city of Los Angeles, and Pasadena is an unbelievable combo of all these things."
"An Evening with Van Dyke Parks" will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Community Room of the South Pasadena Public Library, 1100 Oxley Street, South Pasadena. Tickets are $20. Visit vandykeparks.eventbrite.com for tickets, and advance purchase is recommended. Call (626) 403-7340.

Vin Scully has finally agreed to get a Dodger Bobblehead!!
I came back from my Pilates class here at work to the wonderful news that Vin Scully has finally agreed to get a bobblehead! With Sandy Koufax also getting a bobblehead, this is year is the best year for Dodger bobbleheads! Mike Scioscia is also getting a BBH. I think is right since he only played for the Dodgers. He was a favorite of mine back when he played. I loved watching him block homeplate. This will be Fernando's 4th BBH I believe. I think Fernando already had enough bobbleheads but if the Dodgers want to give another one, I'll take it!
Here is the list of Bobbleheads for 2012
- April 28, 2012 – 2012 Bobblehead #1 – Don Drysdale and Maury Wills
- May 15, 2012 – 2012 Bobblehead #2 – Orel Hershiser
- May 29, 2012 – 2012 Bobblehead #3 – The Infield, Garvey, Cey, Russell and Lopes
- June 12, 2012 – 2012 Bobblehead #4 – Mike Scioscia
- June 28, 2012 – 2012 Bobblehead #5 – Eric Karros (On my birthday!)
- July 14, 2012 – 2012 Bobblehead #6 – Tommy Lasorda and Walter Alston
- July 31, 2012 – 2012 Bobblehead #7 – Kirk Gibson
- August 7, 2012 – 2012 Bobblehead #8 – Sandy Koufax
- August 21, 2012 – 2012 Bobblehead #9 – Fernando Valenzuela
- August 30, 2012 – 2012 Bobblehead #10 – Vin Scully
My blog came in at #21 in 2011! Thank you all that have visited my blog!
When I think of #21, I think of Roberto Clemente.
He signed with the Dodgers for $10,000, but never got to play a single game in Brooklyn or Los Angeles. A rule back then in effect required that any player signed for more than $4000 had to stay on the parent club for a full season. The Dodgers attempted to keep Clemente's profile low, but the keen eye of the Pittsburgh Pirates general manager knew Clemente and he was selected by the Pirates for $4,000 on Nov. 22, 1954.

We will have single, double, e and quadruple heads. lol. no triple heads.
If you do, let me know. I love to show you our old but beloved Dodger Stadium.
When Gibby got a bobblehead in Arizona, I was contemplating driving there or flying to get the bbh. They did play the Dodgers. Looking forward to seeing you again at Dodger Stadium. Oh and I'll remind you of the Dodger fan forums/blogs game in Feb.
I bet you'll be the first one to get Vin's bobblehead, Emma!
You bet I will be outside wating for the gates to open!

NASCAR Driver's Mixed Martial Arts Lesson
April 11, 2013
Author: Mark Francescutti
Date: April 11, 2013
What was Kevin Harvick thinking?
Harvick, the 38-year-old NASCAR veteran, asked to wrestle Dallas-area UFC star Johny Hendricks on Wednesday in Pantego.
The NASCAR driver stood in the middle of the Octagon against one of the scariest men on the planet.
"I wrestled in high school," Harvick boasted (kind of).
"I won't hurt you," Hendricks said, smiling.
So the two went at it.
Harvick got his butt kicked.
"I hadn't wrestled in 20 years," Harvick said. "It's fun to kind of mess around."
It was all in good fun -- part of a planned mixed martial arts lesson from the No. 1 contender in the welterweight division to the NASCAR guy who wouldn't mind seeing a little more fisticuffs in NASCAR.
"Jab! Jab! Move!" Hendricks snapped at Harvick during a boxing lesson.
Then they moved into the cage, where Hendricks demonstrated two choke holds.
One was a guillotine choke. Hendricks snapped Harvick's head down to his waist, then wrapped his forearm under Harvick's neck and squeezed.
When do you tap? "Sometimes, I like to hold it until it goes dark," Hendricks said.
"Is that normal?" Harvick exclaimed.
Hendricks lifted his arm. Harvick started to choke. Tap! Tap! Tap! Harvick submitted quickly.
Then Harvick performed the choke on Hendricks, who coughed at being almost suffocated.
All in good fun, right?
Hendricks had some tips should Harvick have a run-in with say, driver Kyle Busch. Hendricks suggested Harvick grab the other racer's helmet to control him, then pummel him in the stomach.
"Stay calm," Hendricks said. "Most fights, even the NASCAR fights, get broken up fairly quick."

The decision by the McHenry County College Board of Trustees to put off its April 16 vote to extend President Vicky Smith's contract bollixed the Northwest Herald's request to investigate its compliance with the Illinois Open Meetings Act.
The MCC board called the April 16 special meeting barely four days after voters tossed out two incumbents and elected three reform candidates. While the board's ever-growing chorus of critics blasted the meeting as not playing according to Hoyle, I took the tack that the agenda did not conform to new and more stringent Open Meetings Act requirements.
Namely, as you can read in my blog post, that the agenda was so vague that an ordinary person could not conclude that the board intended to actually vote on a contract. The new requirements mandate that any final action on a meeting agenda be sufficiently descriptive.
As soon as I wrote that post, I asked the Attorney General Public Access Counselor to examine whether the vote would violate the spirit of the law.
But the MCC board, in response to public outcry, pushed off the vote until April 25, which was the final meeting of the old board – the new members were sworn in minutes after the old board extended Smith's contract through June 2015.
That delay means that the public access counselor had nothing to investigate, given that no final action was taken. The letter from the counselor's office telling me that no further action can be taken arrived at my desk this morning.
Before you ask, I'm not going to challenge the agenda for the April 25 meeting with the counselor. While it does not explicitly state that a vote will be taken, it reads to me like an average person would reach that conclusion independently.
Hopefully, the MCC board will take advantage of this dodged bullet – I'm pretty sure the Northwest Herald would have prevailed had the board voted – and be more descriptive when it lays out what it intends to do at its meetings.
Of course, it's not like MCC doesn't have a history of dodging bullets from the Attorney General's office when we had the college dead to rights.
Which is probably one of the reasons why the MCC board has that aforementioned ever-growing chorus of critics.
I'll also take a moment to update you on another request for review that the newspaper filed regarding a March 6 "emergency" meeting called by outgoing Grafton Township Supervisor Linda Moore.
Reporter Stephen Di Benedetto filed a request for review shortly after the meeting, arguing that it did not meet the criteria under the Open Meetings Act for a "bona fide" emergency that allows governments to waive advance notice requirements.
The counselor's office asked the township on March 13 for copies of the meeting agenda and minutes so it could investigate the matter further.
On April 22, the counselor's office wrote again to ask why it had not received the information. The Open Meetings Act requires a public body to furnish information within seven business days of receiving a request for review.
We'll keep you posted on how that one turns out.

The Centre for Online Learning
Director, Teaching Support Services: Sandra Hughes, BA, firstname.lastname@example.com, ext. 4104
The Centre for Online Learning is responsible for developing and supporting a range of certificate programs, online distance education courses. These learning opportunities are built on the strengths and interests of the university's faculty and are designed to meet the needs of local, national and international communities.
During the academic year, students can select from more than 70 distance education courses and register in any of the six instructional sessions: fall term (September to December), winter term (January to April), fall/winter session (September to April), spring term (May to August), intersession (May to mid-June) and summer session (July to mid-August). All distance education courses are entirely online and are complemented by a package of learning and support materials. Part-time students may also register for regular daytime or late afternoon courses at the campus to which they were admitted.
The range of part-time and distance courses offered enable students to complete all the requirements for the Diploma in Business Administration and the Certificate in Arts (I and II) on a part-time basis. A BA without designation can be completed entirely through distance education. It is not essential, however, that a student work toward a degree. Courses may be taken for general interest, for self-enrichment, or with a view to improving job qualifications or career prospects.
NOTE: General degrees without a major became available to students beginning in September 2005. Effective September 2007, general majors are not offered to new students entering the university. No further designation (major, option or minor) is awarded with these degrees. (The general BA program at Brantford will retain the name Contemporary Studies). Minimum progression and graduation requirements for general programs without designations became effective September 2005.
At the Laurier Waterloo campus, a broad range of business courses makes it possible for part-time students to earn a university diploma (Diploma in Accounting, Business Administration) and/or to satisfy the academic requirements of numerous professional designation programs. Degree-credit courses taken in partial fulfillment of designation requirements may be applied to diploma programs.
Students wishing to pursue an honours degree in an arts or science subject may find it necessary to register full-time for one academic year or more. The third year of the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree must be taken on a full-time basis.
The Centre for Online Learning updates information regarding course offerings twice each year. The Fall/Winter Calendar (detailing fall term, fall/winter session and winter term) is available in June, and the Spring/Summer Calendar (detailing spring term, intersession and summer session) is available in February. This office also programs non-credit offerings through Continuing Education. Details can be found on the website at www.wlu.ca/conted.
Another service provided is Laurier's Stock Market Competition. Competitions are available to secondary, college, university and MBA students. For further information, visit the website at invest.wlu.ca.
For details relating to Educational Development, refer to the Academic and University Resources section or visit the website at www.wlu.ca/edev
Inquiries from prospective part-time students should be directed to:
Inquiries concerning admission to the university should be directed to The Office of the Registrar: Admissions, ext. 3351. For program counselling, refer to the Academic Advising sections of the Undergraduate Academic Calendar.
