Explosions At Boston Marathon
(1/43) > >>
this saddens me to no endi was having a great day enjoying the weather when i began hearing this horrible news :(whats wrong with people ?
You can see spectators took most of the hit. Officials are reporting amputations. At least 2 dead, with over 20 injured. My good friend was in the race. I talked to him this morning, as he was getting there.I have been trying to reach him, but haven't been able to make contact. As it appears most of the injured were spectators, I assume he is ok, but just hasn't made it back to his phone. I'm seeing the blood-stained sidewalk, and they accidentally showed someone badly mangled. This is the friend, who made the graph about marriage equality polls vs interracial marriage equality polls, that I recently posted here.
Another explosion occurred at the JFK Library, but authorities were unsure if the incidents were linked.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/15/boston-marathon-explosion_n_3086665.htmlNo shit Sherlock. linked.WTF...
Miss Philicia:
Actually it was wise to say that might not be linked because now it seems (per CNN via Boston Globe) it was a mechanical room fire at the library that just happened to occur an hour or so after the bombs.

Brian Martin
Brian Martin lives in Atlanta Georgia and has spent the last 20 years working in the telecommunications field as a management consultant and contact center manager. He was hired at a software company and was successful at his work. He was subject to several derogatory comments about his sexual orientation, age, and race by his supervisor. The more successful Brian was, the more inappropriate his supervisor got. He was told that he should "flame out" or that he should wear a tutu to an executive lunch.
Stephen Lovegrove
Stephen Lovegrove was a rising junior at Charleston Southern University in South Carolina when he shared on the internet about how he identified as gay and Christian, and the administration took notice. The administration brought the situation to Lovegrove's attention, expressing a fear that if parents typed his name into Google, they would find his posts about being gay and feel uncomfortable with having him as their child's resident advisor.

It's been nearly a year since a young mother was gunned down on Madison's east side.
Police said two intruders broke into Julia Majette's North Thompson Drive home on June 12, 2013, and shot and killed her. They also shot her husband, but Daunte Vance survived. At least two of the couple's three children saw the shooting.
Majette's family is hosting a fundraiser Saturday to raise money and try to get answers about a case that's still unsolved. There are no new leads or suspects.
"The more we talk, the more I connect with her," said Karen Andro, who befriended Majette's mother.
Andro is helping the family pass out fliers advertising the fish fry dinner event that runs from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. It's being held at the Lussier Community Center on Gammon Road.
"It's hard to heal when there's an unsolved murder and there's a part of the healing process, I would imagine, that would be halted and makes it harder to move forward," Andro said.
Anyone unable to attend Saturday's event can also donate to a fund that benefits Crimestoppers at the JP Morgan Chase Bank on Milwaukee Street.

Spring is here, and I'm in love again… with my CSA.
CSA as in "cyber-spouse avatar"? No, CSA as in Community Supported Agriculture. It's a group of us — 55 families, Farmer John (that's John, below), the five or so employees of John's Starbrite Farm, and 20 weeks of organic produce.
[Quick introduction: Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a group of member – customers who contract with a farmer for a share of her or his crops throughout a growing season. By paying up front, members help the farmer manage the cash flow challenges of the growing season. Members share the risks of bad weather, thieving critters, and broken tractors, and the delights of fresh beets, swiss chard, and the occasionally unidentifiable leafy green.]
Every year since Farmer Rachel at Singing Farm in Lovingston, VA introduced me to the CSA concept, I have been participating in one of these authentic food organizations. A CSA is all about authentic food — food that is fresh, local, healthy, sustainably produced, irregular, sometimes blemished, and always tasty. The authenticity of the food is enough of a reason to love my CSA.
Ask anyone who's in a CSA, and they can tell you the basic reasons to love your CSA. Or, you could just look on my CSA's website. Each reason to love your CSA exists because you can trust your CSA to be what it says it is. But there are some extra reasons why I love my CSA.
1. My CSA is not just about authentic food; it's also about being an authentic organization.
At my CSA, there's a beautiful reinforcing interaction between who the CSA says it is (its image), how the CSA defines itself (its identity), and how the CSA/we behave (its action).
2. The CSA does what it says it does. (Action = Image)
The CSA presents itself as a way to get fresh, healthy, seasonally, organic produce (check) while supporting an independent farmer (check) and supporting the concept of local, sustainable farming (check) .
3. The CSA is who it says it is. (Identity = Image)
Who is the CSA? It's us: John, his workers, the families. We all take responsibility for making the CSA who it is and we all participate. Once I sign up for my set-up and clean-up shifts, you can bet I'll be there; after all, the organization has to be supported by the community, and that means me.
4. Every action means something more than what you'd expect. (Action = Identity)
There's extra meaning in every action, even actions that seem kind of banal. Writing a check, attending a meeting, setting up tables, weighing bags of English peas, filling out the end of season feedback form, and all the other actions that are part of being a member have additional meaning to me and the other CSA members. These actions get work done, and they also are about being a community member, about connecting with Farmer John as person, about eating more green things because green things are good for us and the earth, and about sharing in the work, the product, and the improvements in the systems. Each action expresses what it means to be a CSA.
5. This meaning can make it easy to respond to irregularities in the organization.
Sometimes, we members act spontaneously, in ways that extend ˜what it means to be a CSA. For example, on a day when I just forgot to pick-up my share, a member I didn't even know dropped it off on my front porch. When confronted by celeriac and tatsoi, I've cracked open that vegetarian cookbook and added another non-meat (i.e., sustainable) dish to our repertoire. Both of these actions put a new twist on being a member.
6. Even chronic problems can get handled in ways that expand upon "what it means to be" a CSA.
–Too many days when random produce is left over after pick-up? Arrange for extras to be brought to the town soup kitchen.
–Kids complaining about Swiss chard again? Remind them that it's local, it's seasonal, it's healthy. "Farmer John and his workers put a lot of effort into growing this food for us. We need to respect them and their work. Give it a try." You get the idea.
7. Being part of an authentic organization can make members feel better, because it can shift you into a different head space.
For me, being a CSA member clicks me into a different perspective, so that I'm aware of a whole new meaning of being part of this community. Being part of a community and having a way to create meaning together can really make a person feel good.
8. And quite honestly, another reason to love my CSA is that,
by being part of this authentic organization, I have to be get to be a little bit more authentic too. When I'm participating in the CSA I have to be get to be slightly more of the cook, the mom, the community member, the citizen, the (ethical) consumer, the gardener that I want to be.
So, instead of being like this:
I get to be a little more like this:
I can actually feel my orientation towards produce changing as the season draws nearer!!
- Do you think I'm crazy? Am I making too much of it? Am I a nut to love my CSA?
- Is this really anything more than a way to feel sanctimonious while avoiding the lines at Whole Foods?
- Or when it's all said and done, is an organic carrot just an organic carrot?
Your thoughts?
Do you have friends in a CSA? Send this post on to them for their comments too!

State And City Sue For Better Fuel Efficiency Standards
Attorney General Spitzer and New York City Corporation Counsel Michael Cardozo today filed a lawsuit challenging the Bush Administration for failing to address the impacts of its new federal fuel economy standards for SUVs and light trucks on air quality, fuel conservation and global climate change.
"At a time when consumers are struggling to pay surging gas prices and the challenge of global climate change has become even more clear, it is unconscionable that the Bush Administration is not requiring greater mileage efficiency for light trucks," said Attorney General Spitzer. "The failure of this Administration to lead on vital environmental issues like this will burden our nation for generations to come."
"Given the number of light trucks that travel daily around New York City, the NHTSA should not have ignored, among other things, the significant environmental effects of the carbon dioxide emitted from such vehicles that contribute to climate change," said New York City Corporation Counsel Cardozo. "The City remains concerned about the adverse impacts from global warming that our residents, infrastructure, and resources have and will continue to experience in light of the Citys coastal, island geography and extremely dense urban population."
Spitzer and Cardozo were joined in the filing by eight other state Attorneys General and the District of Columbia. The lawsuit, filed today in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, alleges the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) failed to meet the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), which require the government to determine the impacts of the new regulations on both fuel conservation and the environment.
The basis for the lawsuit is set forth in a comment letter by the plaintiffs submitted to NHTSA on November 22, 2005. The letter stated that NHTSA "failed to consider alternative approaches that would have promoted energy conservation, made meaningful contributions to increased fuel economy and encouraged technological innovation. In addition, NHTSA failed, in all respects, to consider the environmental consequences of its proposed overhaul of light truck standards, failed to consider the changes in the environment since its last Environmental Impact Statement in the 1980s, and failed to evaluate the impact of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions despite identifying the threat of CO2 and global climate change as new information concerning the environment."
The letter also stated that the standards, which shift the mile-per-gallon requirements from a fleet-wide basis to a new structure based on weight categories, "create incentives to build larger, less fuel-efficient models, which will jeopardize air quality and the climate."
The final standards, issued in March, also contain an attempt by the Administration to argue for preemption of Californias landmark law, also adopted by New York, requiring reductions in vehicle emissions that contribute to global warming. The published document included a 52-page discussion asserting that only the federal government can regulate motor vehicle carbon dioxide emissions.
In addition to Attorney General Spitzer and Corporation Counsel Cardozo, the following Attorneys General are participating in the lawsuit: Bill Lockyer, California; Richard Blumenthal, Connecticut; G. Steven Rowe, Maine; Thomas. P Reilly, Massachusetts; Patricia A. Madrid, New Mexico; Hardy Myers, Oregon; Patrick Lynch, Rhode Island; William H. Sorrell, Vermont; and Robert J. Spagnoletti, District of Columbia.

The new edition also includes a bibliographic essay by Thelin covering significant works in the field that have appeared since the publication of the first edition.

Planning for Read Across America Day!
- Grades: PreK–K, 1–2
Read Across America Day, March 2 (Dr. Seuss's birthday), is less than a month away, so now's a good time to start planning. In researching Read Across America Day I discovered wonderful ideas from dozens of creative teachers and numerous activities, printables, and certificates. Knowing how busy you are, I've gathered a bunch of the best resources below, to help you as you plan.
Read on to discover these resources and find out how my class celebrates Read Across America Day.
While there are lots of activities students can do on Read Across America Day, the main idea is to get students interested and involved in reading. We already spend long literacy blocks teaching reading skills, but students don't have many chances to read in school and even fewer opportunities outside of school. Some intermediate grade students have never read longer than ten minutes at a stretch. Read Across America Day is their chance! Students will be surprised to discover that they can read whole books or big chunks of books in one day.
Inform Parents Now
Now is a good time to send home a letter inviting parents to participate in Read Across America Day. Ask them to select a favorite picture book, not necessarily by Dr. Seuss, either a book they especially loved as a child or one they've enjoyed reading with their children. I've been amazed by the interesting selections parents have made and the expressive way they read to students.
Photo: Poster of my students reading.
Create a schedule for parent readers. I usually have a parent or two first thing in the morning (on their way to work), at lunchtime, and again late in the day. This breaks up the day for my students. Have a special chair, a goofy Dr. Seuss hat, and a few extra picture books for parents.
Build Excitement in Students
Start planning with students a week or two before the big day. Let parents know what students will need to bring to school that day. The list may include:
- Sleeping bag, quilt, or blanket roll
- Pillow
- Healthy snacks (no sugary desserts)
- Water bottle
- Books from home or the local/school library
I ask students to pack everything in a large, black plastic trash bag. This makes it easier to manage on a bus and to repack at the end of the day. Large canvas bags with handles work well, too. I suggest to parents that they may want to carpool on Read Across America Day.
The Big Day!
Push all the furniture over to one side of the room before students arrive. As they come in, help them find an area for their sleeping bag, pillow, snacks, and books. An organized system will make it easier to accommodate all the sleeping bags.
Reassure students that they'll still have lunch, recess, P.E., and art or music. The rest of the day will be devoted to reading in their sleeping bags.
If students don't read well enough to sustain themselves throughout the day, arrange for them to spend time "whisper reading" with you or with a special educator or other specialist. If they regularly receive special education services, they'll likely be excused for part of the day. This will give them a break and a chance to move.
Try It Again at the End of the Year
Traditionally, this has been a favorite day among my students. They plead, "When can we do this again?" I tell them we'll have a second Read Across America Day during the last week of school, and we do!
Resources for Read Across America Day
The National Education Association (NEA) provides a number of resources to help build interest in Read Across America Day, including a reader's oath and a proclamation. They also have an entire page of information and printables about Dr. Seuss and Read Across America. It's also worth noting that Target stores partner with NEA and celebrate on Feb. 26 with a story time from 9:00–11:00.
Scholastic offers Read Across America suggestions on their site, and in an Instructor magazine article, "Celebrate Read Across America Day," teachers around the country share what they do in their classrooms. Scholastic's "Read Across America" and "Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!" printables are also fun.
For more Seuss-related activities, visit Random House Children's Seussville for teachers, then watch video clips of The Sneetches, The Cat in the Hat, and Green Eggs and Ham.
Karen, Check out my recent posts about the Iditarod and IditaRead. Your students might enjoy sponsoring an IditaRead at your school.
Hi Karen, Thanks for your post. Pillow Pets are a great idea, and stuffed animals too! It sounds like a fun, relaxed day. Isn't it encouraging to see students enjoying reading?! I'll check out your link.
Hi Ruth,
Thank you for all the wonderful resources for RAA. I love this day! Even my most reluctant readers love reading. I incorporated many of your links into my day.
My students brought in Pillow Pets and stuffed animals, their favorite books and lot of enthusiasm. We also watched the following YouTube video and sang along (I found the lyrics online): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6D9jiEYxzs.
I have been enjoying your posts. Thanks for sharing so many goodies! ~Karen
Shana, We want kids to experience reading as fun! Even second graders are capable of reading for a day. Having snacks, sleeping bags, etc., helps set the mood and add to the fun.
The great thing about Dr. Seuss AND reading is that it really is a holiday for anyone, at any age! You guys all have great comments and I am excited to get involved in my community! Thanks for the reminder of this holiday!
Kerin, What a great idea and what fun for your students! Thanks for sharing!
I also do an all day read-athon on Read Across America Day. One additional thing I do is to allow my students to invite a friend to come read with them for 10-15 minutes. This friend can be from another class, another grade, etc as long as it is someone in our school building. They love having a friend in their room reading with them.
Hi Katie, You could still invite readers to come in, a coach, administrator, guidance counselor, or parents. You could have students recommend their favorite books to one another. Students could still spend time reading.
I would be interested to hear how people do this with older students. When they switch classes every 50 minutes is there still a way to make it a reading event? All that stuff may get in the way, but I would still like to make it a special day somehow.
Katie- Our district is mandating three 20 minute blocks of reading-only time throughout the day on March 2nd. It sends a positive message to all grades about how important reading time really is! Also, since our PARCC testing begins the week after, it prepares them to do extended reading and thinking.

You can use a picture for a watermark in your document. You can add the picture as a watermark and give it a washout effect, or you can add a picture in the header and position it behind the document text. The second approach is more complicated, but it also gives you a larger set of picture-formatting options. You can choose the approach that best fits your needs.
What do you want to do?
Insert a picture as a watermark
You can automatically turn a picture or a photo into a watermark that you can use to brand or decorate a document.
On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Background group, click Watermark.
Click Custom Watermark.
Click Picture watermark, and then click Select Picture.
Select the picture that you want, and then click Insert.
Select a percentage under Scale to insert the picture at a particular size
Select the Washout check box to lighten the picture so that it doesn't interfere with text.
The picture that you selected is applied as a watermark to the entire document.
Insert a picture in the header
If you want to use more picture effects when you format your watermark, you can insert the picture in the header and then position it behind the text.
On the Insert tab, in the Header and Footer group, click Header, and then click Edit Header.
On the Header and Footer Tools tab, in the Insert group, click Picture.
Browse to the image that you want to use, and then click Insert.
On the Picture Tools tab, in the Arrange group, click Position, and then click the centered option under With Text Wrapping.
In the Arrange group, click Wrap Text, and then click Behind Text.
In the Adjust group, click Color, and then click an option that will lighten your picture enough so that you can still read your text.
Make any other changes that you want to the picture brightness or picture style.
On the Header & Footer Tools tab, click Close.Header and Footer.

ERS's specific objectives for the U.S. Food Waste Challenge are: (1) to improve annual estimates of food loss at the retail level in the United States, and (2) to develop a consistent and globally applicable conceptual model for estimating post-harvest food losses.
ERS will update the food loss estimates for fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, poultry, and seafood at the retail level in the United States. These estimates will be used as loss assumptions in the ERS Loss Adjusted Food Availability (LAFA) data. The LAFA are derived from ERS per capita food availability data adjusted for food spoilage, plate waste, and other losses to more closely approximate actual per capita intake. This data series was primarily designed to estimate daily estimates of the per capita number of calories and food-pattern equivalents of the five major food groups plus the amounts of added sugars and sweeteners and added fats and oils. These are also used to estimate food loss at the retail and consumer levels in the United States. The LAFA data series is considered preliminary.
This activity will be completed by spring 2015.
ERS and its collaborators will develop a consistent and globally applicable conceptual model for estimating post-harvest food losses based on a literature review and industry and other expert consultations. This model will identify the different stages in the farm-to-fork chain that are critical for food loss and the important factors affecting losses within each stage. While the model will be comprehensive to allow global applicability, not all stages or variables may be pertinent in the actual estimation of post-harvest losses for individual country or commodity. A second phase of the project will expand the conceptual model to cover econometric modeling of food losses for specific commodities and countries. The effort will begin by focusing on a cereal (e.g., rice) and a high-value-product (e.g., onion) as prototypes. This project will be conducted jointly with Purdue University under ERS/USDA Cooperative Agreement. Other collaborators include researchers from the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization.
This activity will be completed by spring 2016.

If you live near Glasgow, Scotland, don't miss this chance to hear two great Linn Records artists perform live - absolutely free!
Judith Owen - Live at Brel
Tuesday 19th May 2009, 8.00pm
Brel Bar & Restaurant, Ashton Lane, Glasgow
More information: visit the Brel website.
Equal parts musicality and wit, Judith Owen's music combines pop, rock, jazz, classical, R&B and theatrical influences. Variety effusively describes her as "a charmer and a seducer, a rocker, and a jazz chanteuse." Cassandra Wilson was moved to name Judith "one of the most passionate, mesmerizing thoroughly creative vocal artists on the scene today".
Judith Owen's album "Happy This Way" is an album of original songs featuring special guest Richard Thompson.
Maeve O'Boyle - Live at The Apple Store
Thursday 21st May 2009, 7.00pm
The Apple Store, Buchanan Street, Glasgow
More information: visit the Apple store website.
Singer Maeve O'Boyle may be just 21, but this talented singer-songwriter has the voice of a much older soul. Hear it for yourself at this special live performance featuring songs from her forthcoming debut, "All My Sins" released in June 2009. The Daily Mail recently said of Maeve: "look out for this 21-year-old Scot".

In business for 27 years, Rigsby's Kitchen has had to deal with the pressure to keep an ever-increasing collection of patron favorites on its menu.
If not resisted, such pressure can result in a stale menu that eventually condemns a restaurant to a time trap, becoming stuck in the cuisine of a bygone era.
Even worse, making the same dishes year after year can easily result in a kitchen that does everything by rote and without excitement.
And that can make attracting and retaining culinary talent difficult, adding an incentive for restaurants of this caliber to regularly refresh their lineups with specials and menu additions.
A good example here is the crispy pork belly with braised cannellini beans and salsa verde ($9). The pork belly is crisp and shows hints of a seasoning that resembles star anise. Plenty of lean meat is found among the fat, along with plenty of cannellini beans, wonderfully braised in oil, garlic and stock.
For extra flavor, a swatch of green parsley-pesto is also on the plate.
Fresh pasta with shrimp, scallops, clams, basil and peas ($15 for a generous half-serving, $21 for a full serving) is an exercise in freshness. It's more than just the pasta, which has the advantage of being made with fresh eggs. It's also the vibrant collection of shellfish, each piece packed with real flavor. The light saucing proves what shellfish stock can be like when it doesn't come out of a package of concentrate.
The sauce is well-served by the shredded fresh basil, and the peas add color.
Among desserts, the butterscotch budino ($10) is prepared in a canning jar. The butterscotch pudding is topped by an excellent caramel sauce and a dollop of Ohio-sourced creme fraiche.
The first-rate Spencer's rice pudding ($9) uses the recipe perfected by Spencer Boudros, co-owner of Pistacia Vera. Served in a martini glass, the gently cooked rice is given a creamy, vanilla-infused base. The background dairy flavor and restrained amount of sugar make it an ideal setting for the mound of fig compote.
And a house-made biscotti adds a faint anise flavor.

Tony Cascarino's hopes for the new campaign
Silence is golden
It would be nice to see owners take a back seat. Some of them have a higher profile than the players. Assem Allam has already caused controversy with the renaming of Hull City. Some people criticise Roman Abramovich for not speaking. I'd rather have it that way.
Takes all sorts
Wouldn't it be great to watch a team play long-ball football well. Technique and tiki-taka are all very well, but the game needs different styles of play. It's fantastic when a team throw a spanner in the works and say: "Deal with this, then."
Punish ball-hoggers

Just wanted to say thanks for a great column by Phil Johnson. I enjoy all your columns but Phil's coverage of ski events satisfies the inner skier in me. And I expect other readers feel the same. The Gazette is a must-read!

Phil Johnson puts the reader in his shoes as he spotlights skiing events and participants. When reading his column detailing how freestyle skiing judges reach their decisions, the reader is more than informed-- he's right in the midst of the action. Looking forward to more reporting on the World Cup and Winter Olympics. And anything else Phil chooses to cover.

Some Amarillo bank customers will be following a different sort of money trail in the next few months as financial institutions shuffle real estate.
The shuffle will occur because Happy State Bank bought a building at 701 S. Taylor St. in downtown Amarillo last March, an adjacent motor bank facility at 716 S. Taylor St., and an accompanying parking garage and open-air lot at 800 S. Fillmore St.
The building, which covers an entire city block downtown, has for several years been known as the Bank of America Building, because the company leased space there.
But change is coming.
Bank of America will move soon. Its sign will come down, and a new one will go up to rechristen the building in the name of Happy State, HSB Chairman and CEO Pat Hickman said.
Bank of America sent a letter to customers outlining its plans for relocation in December, spokeswoman Britney Sheehan said.
"That's part of our overall commitment to making sure we communicate changes like this to our customers well in advance," she said.
Here's a look at some of the bank moves to come:
Bank of America will close its location inside the Taylor Street building at 4 p.m., March 20. It will close its operations in the adjacent motor bank earlier that day, according to the letter the bank sent customers.
Bank of America will open for business in its new full-service banking center at 406 S. Polk St. at 9 a.m. on March 23. (Bank of America, ironically, purchased the Polk Street building from Happy State, which wound up with the property when it acquired eight Texas Panhandle Citibank Financial Centers in March 2008.)
Bank of America will open its new motor bank at 401 S. Tyler St. at 9 a.m. on March 23.
Happy State is remodeling the Taylor Street building but doesn't have a firm timetable for its move there, Hickman said. Downtown branch operations currently at 203 S.W. Eighth Ave., in the Petroleum Building, will be relocated to Taylor Street. "I'm going to guesstimate that we won't really fully, absolutely move in for several months - July or August," Hickman said.
For about 60 days during the transition phase, Happy State and Bank of America will share motor bank facilities at 716 S. Taylor St., Hickman said. Each drive-up lane has its own teller booth, so funds will remain separate.
Happy State will move about 70 employees from its Canyon Operations Center to the Taylor Street building in mid-March to make more room in Canyon for the bank's Gold Star Trust Co. operations, Hickman said.
Bank of America is in the midst of a $2.8 million renovation of a 26,650-square-foot structure at 8101 S.W. 34th Ave. The bank's plans for the building still are being finalized, and a move-in date has not yet been set, Sheehan said.
KCBOA Properties, a limited liability company, purchased the building last year from Jack B. Kelley Inc. and has leased it to Bank of America, said Ben Whittenburg, a McCartt & Associates/Sperry Van Ness broker who represented the Kelley company in the transaction. The building sold for an amount near its asking price of $2.7 million, he said. Jack B. Kelley Inc. moved from Southwest 34th to the Place One Office Center at 801 S. Fillmore St.)
Happy State made its purchase of the Taylor Street building and its accompanying motor bank and parking facilities in partnership with Amarillo developer Perry Williams, a member of the bank's board of directors. The Potter-Randall Appraisal District lists the 2008 appraised value of the office building at $7.8 million, the parking garage and open-air lot at $2.75 million and the drive-up facility at almost $141,000.
The transaction added 2 blocks of downtown real estate to Happy State's holdings.
The bank already owned a block at Southeast 10th Avenue and South Pierce Street; four-fifths of an undeveloped block at Southeast Ninth Avenue and South Pierce Street; a half-block at Southeast Ninth Avenue and South Buchanan Street, currently occupied by a tire business; and a lot and building at 616 S.E. 10th Ave. These properties carry a combined appraised value of close to $1.5 million, according to PRAD's 2008 estimate.
Happy State had the block at Southeast 10th and Pierce cleared with the intent of eventually building a high-rise bank/office building there. The undeveloped land at Southeast Ninth and Pierce Street was purchased for a potential parking area for the high-rise.
"We're still holding that property," Hickman said. "In fact, the way we're seeing this (Taylor Street) building fill up, the back of my mind is starting to revive some of the building plans again."

A small plane piloted by a 19-year-old woman made an emergency landing in a field in the town of Beaver Dam Sunday afternoon, according to a release.
The Dodge County Sheriff's Department took a report from the Dane County Sheriff's Department that a plane had made an emergency landing and was believed to be in the Columbus area, according to the release.
The aircraft, a Piper Archer, low-wing, fixed-wing aircraft, made an emergency landing in a field in the general area of Canary Road and County Highway G, about 2 miles south of the City of Beaver Dam, according to the release.
Officials said the pilot, Remington Viney, has been a licensed pilot for less than a year. There were three other occupants of the plane and no injuries were reported. The other occupants were Daniel Imhoff, 62, Rose Imhoff, 68, and Tia Scanlon, 49.
Preliminary information is that the aircraft had a problem with a fuel switch-over and the plane ran out of fuel, officials say.
Sheriff's officials commended Viney for safely landing the plane in a field without damaging the plane or injuring the passengers.

Will Obama's Immigration Policy Affect Alabama's Law?
By Tanya Ott • Jun 18, 2012
Originally published on June 18, 2012 7:24 am
Friday's announcement by the Obama administration that the U.S. plans to stop deporting some illegal immigrants received mixed reviews in Alabama. That state has one of the most aggressive anti-immigration laws in the country.

Despite a fantastic and unbeaten start to the season, Arsenal has been linked to January moves for a number of players.
The Gunners have showcased a defensive solidity and attacking fluidity that were the prime attributes of previous Arsenal teams, but that hasn't stopped the rumours.
Arsenal have been linked to World Cup winners, up-and-coming stars and even players who turned out for rivals.
The possibility of any of these deals is very low, but these players have been linked nonetheless.
Here are six players linked to the Gunners in January.

Artist: Stimming
Album: Liquorice
Label: Diynamic
Release Date: 11/04/2011
If you've ever seen the Stanley Kubrick adaptation of Stephen King's The Shining you'll know two things. Firstly, it's a godsend nobody has revamped it for the CGI age. Secondly, it's got some of the most unnerving opening credits in film history.
Cutting to the chase, or rather a meandering drive through stunning mountain vistas, a version of Hector Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique scores the scene. Sombre brass nods to the funeral march, while strained violins smear a Hitchcockian sense of impending anti-climax over the high end. Nothing untoward happens on screen, but it feels like we're watching a family travelling to near-certain death. And not least thanks to the distorted vocal cries that pierce the sonic background.
Martin Stimming's latest long player begins in a similarly edgy way, albeit with less threatening, macabre undertones. Strings erupt into a twisted tune up, before turning into minute-spanning refrains while a double bass plucks in a way that suggests the instrument could be about to turn nasty, or burst into a more amicable, groove oriented sound.
In the end neither is true, as My Lonesome Drumset proves. Lo-fi snares and kicks filter in and out of earshot, while a wave of 303 peaks and troughs with almost no regard for time signatures, yet somehow it all makes sense, in a kind of desolate jazz jam session kind of way. Because calling any of the 13 pieces offered here real tracks in the common sense would be wrong, just like describing this producer as anything other than a forward thinking, borderline genius would be unfair.
Whether a mad professor or simply ahead of his time one thing is for sure, this hasn't got widespread appeal written in any of the sleeve notes. But it probably should. Cooking Coffee, for instance, is a beautiful harp built affair, all sedate tom pads and shuffling percussion that's reminiscent of South American sounds, albeit in a hallucinatory guise that's less quirky exotica, and more experimentalism.
By now you might be thinking 'file under world music', and in some ways that is the most fitting canon in which to place this release. Apart from maybe Romany folk heard at some imagined fireside, a rather unexpected vision invoked by No Strings Attached. Either way this marketing nightmare is any leftfield music fan's dream. Brooding, evocative, never boring and incredibly enjoyable to hear. Like Black Caramel's hummed male baritone, there's soul behind each (often-mechanical) noise, resulting in a surprisingly human experience, considering at first glance the contents are so utterly otherworldly.

Orlando Magic Black Tie & Tennies Charity Gala Raises More Than $500k for Central Florida
The Orlando Magic Youth Foundation's (OMYF) Black Tie and Tennies Charity Gala raised $547,308 with matching funds at .50 on the dollar provided by the McCormick Foundation. All proceeds benefit the OMYF.
The 23rd Annual OMYF Black Tie and Tennis Charity Gala presented by FAIRWINDS Credit Union was held on March 23 at the Amway Center. More than 700 guests were in attendance for an evening of silent and live auctions, gourmet food, activities and interaction with Magic players, coaches and executives. One of the highlights of the evening was the announcement of the Rich and Helen DeVos Community Enrichment Award winner. This year Magic captain Jameer Nelson was recognized for his efforts off the court and in the Central Florida community. Nelson will receive $50,000 from the Richard and Helen DeVos Foundation to donate to the charities of his choice.
"The Orlando Magic is built to be a cornerstone of this community," Orlando Magic CEO Alex Martins said. "When the team succeeds, this community succeeds. And when a community succeeds, we are all winners. I also want to recognize the collaborative effort of this community, the DeVos family, our players, coaches, staff, corporate partners, season ticket holders and fans that make our gala such a incredible success each year. It is a complete team effort and we are so grateful for all of the support."
Over the last 23 years more than $18 million has been distributed to local nonprofit community organizations via the Orlando Magic Youth Foundation and Orlando Magic Youth Fund (OMYF-MFF), a McCormick Foundation Fund since 1994, which serves at-risk youth. The Orlando Magic Youth Foundation raises community dollars annually through donations, 50/50 Drawings, auctions and events such as the Black Tie and Tennies Gala and the OMYF Golf Tournament with matching funds at .50 on the dollar provided by the McCormick Foundation.

The Remington Managed Recoil 260 Caliber Rifle Ammunition has half the recoil but twice the confidence. For years, shooters have wished for and hand-loaders have attempted to create a lower recoil load usually by simply reducing the amount of gunpowder. The results did create less kick, but at the expense of bullet expansion and on-game performance. For many years, the gap between low recoil and effective hunting performance seemed an insurmountable one. That is, until now.
New Managed-Recoil Centerfire Ammunition delivers the trusted Remington field proven hunting performance out to 200 yards with half the recoil. How? Through a specialized new bullet that was developed specifically to perform at these cartridge's velocity levels. These bullets are optimized to provide 2x expansion with over 75% weight retention on shots inside of 50 yards and out to 200 yards. The end result is a high performance bullet optimized to provide the on-game results you've come to expect from Remington Ammunition with just half the felt recoil. Rounds/box: 20 Round Per Box, 10 Boxes Per Case.
While the uses for Managed-Recoil Centerfire ammunition are numerous, here are some of the more popular applications:

This morning, Russia's dash cams made their way into major news outlets across the world when they picked up countless angles of an extraordinary event: A meteor plunging to earth. Behind the sad story of the meteor's impact, which is said to have injured about 1,000 people in the Ural region of Russia, there's another point worth making: Lots and lots of Russians have dashboard-mounted cameras.
What's Russia watching?
Russians install cameras on their dashboards or windows to watch each other. Last fall, Al Jazeera estimated that about 1 million Russian cars have cameras mounted to their dashboards or windshields.
The practice isn't particularly common for civilians elsewhere, although police in many countries use cameras mounted to their rearview mirrors.
In Russia, where corruption is an ordinary affair, the dashboard cameras serve to protect motorists from unlawful activities. Of course, Russia is, well, Russia, which means that the police are just as likely to perpetuate crime as the criminals themselves.
Insurance fraud, which often involves corrupt police officials, is an everyday occurrence. Since what an American might view as comprehensive collision insurance is difficult and expensive to acquire for older cars.
Fraud is hardly the only motivation, however. Russian drivers know that they can encounter just about anything on their roads because, as blogger Marina Galperina put it in a particularly insightful 2012 post, "psychopaths are abundant on Russian roads."
Popular blog English Russia even dedicates an entire section to the country's roads because, as the site once said, "something interesting happens in Russia every day."
But every once in a while, dash cameras pick up something far more interesting. Like a meteor streaking across the morning sky.

It's Time for a Funeral
January 16
"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me."- (Gal 2:20).
"There's nothing wrong with you that a good funeral won't solve," I said to the woman. "I'll even send you flowers!" She smiled in response. I was speaking figuratively to the woman who was stressing out about an issue in her life.
Her problem was the same problem most of us have - too much of "us" and not enough of Jesus and the cross. Many of the daily problems in life can be solved by coming to an end of ourselves so Jesus can take over. I believe this is what the psalmist meant when he said: "Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints" (Ps 116:15).
The apostle Paul recognized the need for a funeral too when he penned these words: "What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life" (Rom 6:1-4).
Whenever we stress over a matter, get angry over a daily circumstance, or seek to have our own way - it is a sign there is still life in the grave. We need to fill it with dirt and smother the life of our flesh so that Christ may live freely, unhindered by the "old" man. Send yourself some flowers today. Have a good funeral.
Demolishing Strongholds
One of the major reasons Christians live defeated lives is we fail to deal with generational spiritual strongholds in our lives. This life-changing workbook will show you how to free yourself of spiritual influences so you can experience the Christian life in freedom and victory. Learn More

LightSafe Car Escape Tool Give-Away Announced
DTC LifeTools announces car escape tool with auto glass breaker giveAway social media contest.
(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 16, 2014 ) Holts Summit, MO -- Beginning May 17 2014, DTC LifeTools announces it will run a social media event to give away a LightSafe Car Escape Tool to three lucky winners. The auto glass breaker give-away is part of the companies one year birthday 'Sale-A-Bration'.
Car Escape Tool Review Video
Car Escape Tool Review Video
DTC LifeTools CEO states, "It is our primary goal to equip as many people as possible with tools they can use for routine purposes as well as those rare times when and if their lives might depend on them. We are using every means possible to meet that objective. Since June 2nd is the one-year anniversary of our official company launch, we thought the best way to celebrate that was to do something for our fans and followers. Without their support we would not be here today."
The LightSafe was released last year along with the AutoSafe Tire Gauge with Car Escape Tools. These two products were the first in the DTC product line and as such helped to launch the company. Carter explains, "While both products include the same set of stainless steel escape tools on one end, they are also unique in that the AutoSafe has a digital tire pressure gauge where the LightSafe has an multifunctional LED flashlight.
There have been many 5 star reviews posted on both products. Below is an actual Amazon customer review for the LightSafe Car Escape Tool with auto glass breaker and LED flashlight:
"I love this Escape Hammer Tool and it exceeded my expectations. I never knew you could package so much different tools in a tool set. It definitely comes in handy while I go on road trips with my friends and it's not too big so I can put this in my glove box and not have to worry about where I put it." - Amazon Customer Jamie C.
Details for the give-away and other festivities are posted on the company website and social media platforms.
About DTC LifeTools
DTC LifeTools is dedicated to providing the highest quality security multitools such as a tire pressure gauge with auto glass breaker, solar emergency light, car escape tools , emergency radio, LED flashlights, and other survival gear along with the best customer service available.

Meet the new chairman, same as the old chairman.
Robert T. Bennett is back at the helm of the Ohio Republican Party. His return as chairman was a patriarchal necessity to get the child he loves and has nurtured out of a mess.
It is the second time the Cleveland lawyer and certified public accountant has come to the Ohio GOP's rescue. He was 49 in 1988 when his ascension to chairman marked a new beginning for the party.
Back then, Bennett defeated the hand-picked choice for chairman of four-term governor James A. Rhodes, whose quixotic 1986 comeback attempt was crushed by Democratic Gov. Richard F. Celeste. Bennett immediately began developing a new generation of candidates, finally freeing the party from its stunting two-decade Rhodes-centric focus.
Over the next 20 years, Bennett went on to become the longest-serving and most-successful party chairman in Ohio history, even surpassing Ray C. Bliss, the legendary state and national GOP chairman whose name is on a political science institute at the University of Akron.
Despite his success, Bennett had to fight to save his job in 1995 when Gov. George V. Voinovich tried to oust him and install his own party chairman, a replay of Rhodes' unsuccessful bid 30 years earlier to get rid of Bliss.
Before retiring in 2009, Bennett groomed a Dayton-area state representative, Kevin DeWine, as his successor. DeWine kept the coffers filled and won everything in sight in the 2010 statewide election. He was unanimously re-elected to a new two-year term in January 2011 by the 66-member GOP state central committee, even after the newly elected governor asked DeWine to step aside.
Unlike Rhodes and Voinovich, Gov. John Kasich eventually prevailed. DeWine is gone; Bennett is back, at least through this year. His first task is to heal a bitterly divided party following an all-out war for control of the central committee won by Kasich. Bennett still is unsure what triggered the bloody battle between Kasich and DeWine.
"Something happened, and I missed it in 2010," he said in an interview. "For whatever reason, I didn't pick up the tension. . . .The governor never said anything to me about Kevin, not one thing."< /p>
Bennett said he will move quickly to implement a plan to defeat President Barack Obama and elect Josh Mandel to the U.S. Senate, while pushing Ohio's junior senator, Rob Portman, as the party's vice presidential candidate.
Beyond this year, Bennett said he needs one final two-year term beginning in January to set the stage for the re-election of Kasich and the other four GOP statewide executive officeholders in 2014, and to ensure long-term stability in the party's leadership.
"The important thing is that we identify somebody who has the experience, and I would hope that the (next) chairman would emerge from the present county chairmen or from state committee members."< /p>
It remains to be seen, however, whether Kasich, who now can say that it is his party, wants Bennett to stick around after this year. The other statewide officeholders are watching warily, concerned that they could be afterthoughts in the new Kasich-centric party.
Bennett's return as party chairman at age 73 seemed impossible just two months ago when he could barely breathe, afflicted with a lingering and baffling respiratory problem. After extended hospital stays, including in isolation, doctors discovered that Bennett had an infection they traced to his 2006 visit to Moscow.
"This thing has been festering in my lungs for five years, in the bottom of my lungs," Bennett said, gleeful that it finally is being successfully treated with antibiotics.
"It's a miracle that they even found this," said Bennett, adding that he feels better than he has in years.
"I lost almost 60 pounds. I've got about 24 to go. When I get done with that, I'll be at my fighting weight. I'll be dangerous."
That's not what Democrats want to hear.
Joe Hallett is senior editor at The Dispatch.

We had an above average turnout (between 40 and 50 non ROTC cadets). Besides friends of cadets, a lot of people came after seeing the flyers or hearing it from the facebook group, including a handful of people from the reserve unit nearby. The workout was more entertaining than most PT sessions and equally hard. It consisted of stations: grass drills, relay races, litter carries, tug of war, and suicides with additional weight. We tried to make it more Army oriented by using Kevlars for push-ups and assault packs for the suicides. A majority of those in attendance enjoyed the workout, but most of them agreed it was pretty early to be exerting yourself to that extent.

Nine People Stabbed At Swedish House Mafia's Dublin concert
Dance trio Swedish House Mafia's concert in Ireland on Saturday was marred by hostility after a knife attack left nine concertgoers injured, according to reports.
The DJ supergroup, comprising of producers Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso, headlined Dublin's Phoenix Park, but tragedy struck during the show. The authorities believe one man stabbed up to four revelers, and that other crowd members sustained injuries during incidents involving knives and broken bottles.
A 23-year-old man has been charged in connection with an incident at the show and was due in court on Monday.
A spokesperson the Irish police said the officers received reports of a "significant number" of random unprovoked attacks at the show and are hunting those involved.
Concert promoters have handed CCTV footage to police, and officials at Ireland's Health Service Executive have now launched an investigation into the incidents.

Wichita Falls, TX. - Oklahoma tornado victims will soon be getting some extra help from Texans.
The Wichita Falls Salvation Army is packing up a mobile feeding unit to provide hot meals and cold water to people cleaning up debris.
The unit can feed fifteen hundred people a day and is one of five that are being sent from across the state.
A team made up of three volunteers will run the unit for the next two weeks.
Their first stop is Oklahoma City where they will immediately cook a beef stew dinner, then they will be assigned their location.
All the supplies for the rest of their meals will be bought from the Oklahoma area to help refuel their economy.
Captain Gregory Shannon says something as simple as a hot meal can go a long way for people who are trying to rebuild their lives.
"What we have is families who are out there everyday, all day long, picking up, salvaging what they can, what they can find, clearing debris, trash away, it's hard work, it's hot it's tiring and emotionally draining," says Captain Shannon.
Volunteers do have to be trained before being allowed to work on a mobile feeding unit but if you want to help out Captain Shannon says they are still in need of monetary donations so they can purchase supplies.
You can donate at The Salvation Army website.
