What is stormwater?
Stormwater runoff is generated from rain and snow melt. It does not percolate directly into the ground when it flows from roof tops, land, parking lots, streets, sidewalks and driveways.
Where does stormwater go?
Stormwater is discharged into our waterways. Runoff picks up sediment, contaminants, litter, nutrients, and pollutants. Unmanaged stormwater can cause water pollution, stream bank erosion, and flooding.
What can I do?
Constructing Best Management Practices (BMPs) to capture water where it lands allows pollutants and sediment to settle before they have a chance to discharge directly into waterways. BMPs include the following:
BMPs help improve the water quality of our streams, creeks, and ponds, also improving water quality downstream in the Marais Des Cygnes River, Blue River, and the Kansas River.
What is the Cost Share Reimbursement Program?
The City of Olathe is offering a Stormwater Cost Share Reimbursement. The goal is to encourage landowners and businesses to construct BMP's on their property to improve water quality. The program is intended to help cover the cost of materials, equipment and labor. The City will provide a 50% match for expenses on the following:
Rain barrels, up to $75 each. Limit: two rain barrels per household.
Reimbursement is available to applicants on a first come, first serve basis subject to approval of the Department of Public Works, Stormwater Management.
Reimbursement will not be approved for BMPs required for new development.

Olivia Munn And Matthew Morrison Kiss At Rangers Game
Olivia Munn and Matthew Morrison were spotted getting hot and heavy at a New York Rangers game Sunday night. The couple was spotted cuddling up and even locked lips - no word if the kiss cam was on them at the time!
It was a bit of a surprise to see Glee star Matthew going for the public display of affection - the actor has been very secretive about his love life in the past.
Olivia Munn, on the other hand, has been the target of several romantic rumors - with leading men like Chris Pine. Olivia was in the city due to her movie shoot with Sarah Jessica Parker for I Don't Know How She Does It - but she may be hanging around more often if Matthew is around!

Skip to comments.US Air Force creates two squadrons to support Obama's re-election campaign tour
Posted on 03/11/2012 8:55:06 AM PDT by pabianice
The United States Air Force has established two new aircraft squadrons to support the Presidential travel needs during the campaign season.
The 305th and 306th Expeditionary Airlift Squadrons were activated as subordinate units of the 89th Airlift Wing on December 1.
The 305th will operate out of New Castle, DE, with 5 C-130H medium lift transport aircraft, 8 full sets of aircrew, 60 maintenance personnel, and 12 operations personnel are assigned.
The 306th will operate out of Andrews AFB, with 4 C-17 heavy lift transports, 7 full aircrew, 60 maintenance personnel, and 10 operations personnel will be assigned.
Operations for the two squadrons are to commence in April, and will run through the election. The aircraft and personnel will be released back to their original units after Nov. 2.
See press release:
send the DNC and zero's campaign a bill for all the aircraft, people and fuel. This is Bull$#!+!!!!!
Here's a cutback in vast military spending we can support!!
Is this done for every president in a re-election bid, or just this one?
Is this typical? Anybody know if past presidents running for reelection have had their own AF squadrons?
Just this one. I don't recall prior presidents needing anything beyond AF1 (and typical support units which includes a transport for the limo, security, etc). It basically looks like Obama is multiplying the usual logistics by three.
America is becoming more and more like the old Soviet Union every day.
One red cent spent on the current POS President's re-election campaign would be a waste of taxpayer funds.
Definitely should be paid out-of-pocket by the Kenyan Re-election Campaign Committee.
Wonder why he feels the need for all this protection?
KEEERIST, is this an election or a war?????
" . . ., is this an election or a war?????"
This is a WAR, against the U.S.A. as presently constituted and governed through its Constitution.
The bastard already has the bully pulpit. There is ZERO excuse for him to leave the Whitehouse to campaign.
We could come out cheaper as tax payers, if someone would just figure out how much money bozo is going to raise for the Democrats and just cut them a check, instead of wasting all this fuel, manpower, and tying up businesses and traffic in all the states he is going to.
Our election process is seriously broken and in need of reform and major restrictions on this type of abuse.
More for Dems than Republicans.
My old Reserve unit at Andrews, 756 ARW and its B Model C-141s were run ragged by Clinton & company during his re-election bid. Moving the Secret Service and many, many limos (2 per aircraft) across the US.
One day we went through 3 C-141s before getting a Banner Mission off the ground. Mostly due to last minute add ons and maintenance problems.
Great for budgeting. Lousy for the troops.
The 2012 election will NOT be about the economy. We will be in a war situation and Romney has no foreign or military history. Obama would lose to Romney over the economy, but he is preparing his reputation as the killer of Bin Laden etc. etc. as a military strongman.
Isn't it obvious? Romney should get Bolton and some military figures on his team. Perhaps as a Veep candidate.
How about Romney just realize he's in over his head (and there's barely anyone who wants to vote for him) and resign from the race.
Seriously, he's the same but, different candidate.
The bastard already has the bully pulpit. There is ZERO excuse for him to leave the Whitehouse to campaign.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Well, IMNSHO, this clown has been on the campaign trail since 21JAN09 and they are not bringing in the extra 'air staff' till Apr.
How can he possibly be in more cities etc than he has already been in? Hmm, maybe they are taking 3rd World tactics and using doubles??? <: <:
The worst thing with this campaign spending, when they get to where they are giving their collective BS Session, they only talk to friendlys.
Isn't the true meaning of campaigning to expose yourself to those that would normally be inclined to NOT vote for you?
So, in essence, when they take OUR money to campaign with it is basically going to 'preaching to the choir'.
And that is not only pertaining to BO, I realize when they screen at an event to keep the harassers out it is for expediency but aren't the dissidents the ones you are trying to win over?
So, bottom line, it is basically a waste of time and MONEY.
Take away the matching funds and make them campaign on what they get from people with a like mind = that they are trying to represent.
There is no reason in the (logical) world that people in California should be 'donating' to elect someone to Congress from NY.
In some respects, it is like us picking a country out of the book and donating to one of the candidates for local office.
Mostly true. All of the vehicles with Zerobama stickers being driven on the military bases I've been on lately have had black drivers.
The Waffen Air Force.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
Out of curiosity, how many squadrons were created to service the G W Bush reelection campaign?
Actually it's more like a South American Banana Republic (Haiti, for example, and Michelle Obama does a really credible imitation of Mrs. Baby Doc) or an African tribal dictatorship.
That's all the Kenyan is. Just another tribal Beeg Man, mau-mauing the fools who think he cares about laws.
If obammy could, each of his campaign appearances would be like his denver accropolis extraveganza. And the taxpayers would pay the bill.
Cause he is special you know?
And the GOP said what?
If he's so worried he needs to stay out of the race.
Here's an interesting take on the MSM and Obama from an unusual source.
Seems the Russians know something about Obama/ MSM we don't... Well worth the time it takes to read:
The sound the GOP made sounds like crickets. Or maybe the sound of sheep.
In the future,a child will ask his dad: "What did you do durning the war against Terrorists"?
His dad will say "I was part of getting one relected".
Ten points to the first candidate who points out this disgusting misuse of taxpayer equipment and declares, "Elect me and when I campaign for my second term I promise to leave the military home"
"... ", is this an election or a war?????
Prior to December 2011 airlift support for Presidential campaigns was taken out of local training accounts.
IMHO, the two newly formed squadrons, while officially under the 89th Wing (VIP support), will report to and be controlled by the Presidential Reelection Committee.
But maybe, in his function as Commander-in-Chief, Obama will directly command all of the missions. Thus adding to his impressive military resume.
Never assume that against this radical incumbent, that this election is a guaranteed win for our side. In fact the opposite is actually true.
Will read later but I already know what I'm gonna see..."news the MSM won't do.".
Thanks for the link...
Maybe they'll give him a little pair of plastic wings. He can "not" wear those right beside the (American) flag pin he doesn't wear!
Very interesting information. Thank you.
It's interesting stuff - we'll see what comes of it...
I am flattered that you lifted this post from my blog, word for word, punctuation for punctuation - but it is customary to give credit to the author when you do that sort of thing. If you had copied the whole post, you would have answered those who asked in their comments if George W had the same arrangement for his re-election (yes, he did).
If anyone questions my statements here, my blog post was time stamped Feb. 18th.
Have a nice day.

Dingy Harry on Debt in 2006
RUSH: I want you to listen to a quote from Harry Reid in 2006, seven years ago. Harry Reid said, "They should explain this. Maybe they can convince the public they're right. I doubt it. Because most Americans know that increasing debt is the last thing we should be doing. After all, I repeat, the Baby Boomers are about to retire. Under the circumstances, any credible economist would tell you we should be reducing debt, not increasing it. Democrats won't be making arguments to support this legislation, which will weaken our country. Weaken our country." In 2006, and he was joined by Obama opposing raising the debt limit. It was irresponsible because of the retiring Baby Boomers. Now look.
Women Today Will Live Five Years Less Than Their Mothers
RUSH: Did you see the story, I didn't have it in the Stack today. I had it earlier, and I thought I set it aside to save it, and I didn't. I don't need it. Women today will live five years fewer than their mothers. Did you see that story? You throw abortion out, and I don't know what the reason is, but people are convening panel discussions on this. You know, what could possibly explain this?
Why would women today live on average five years less than their mothers? And I think, well, certainly this is a factor. Women in the workplace enduring the stress that is found there. But they can't fall back on that because that's something they wanted. That's something the modern feminazis fought for. And so child rearing and any number of other pressures. I just found it fascinating. Maybe I should go try to find it because there were some interesting aspects to that.
Girls Soccer Racking Up Concussions
RUSH: San Francisco Chronicle: "Girls Getting More Concussions Than Before," playing soccer. The friendly game of girls soccer is racking up lots of concussions, second only to boys football.
We warned you about this I don't know how many years ago. Now, we first heard about this and I warned everybody that concussions were a rampant part of soccer. We put together this little charity group called KOOKS, Keep Our Own Kids Safe. We had testimonials from people. It's fascinating.
Top Five Bogus Public Health Scares
RUSH: I've also got the top five bogus public health scares. This is from our non-Washington template or narrative Stack. It's from Reason.com. You want to hear what the top five bogus public health scares are? Number one: Exposure to trace amounts of synthetic chemicals is a major cause of cancer. Not true. High fructose corn syrup, responsible for the obesity epidemic. Not true. Cell phones cause cancer. Not true. Vaccines cause autism. Not true. And the idea that Americans should consume no more than 1,500 milligrams of sodium or salt per day in order to reduce risk of heart disease, strokes, and high blood pressure. Not true.
Drive-Bys Conjure Up New Term: Debt-Limit Deniers
RUSH: The Politico has a story today. You got climate change deniers, and now the Drive-By Media has conjured up the idea that there are debt limit deniers. And a debt limit denier I guess would be somebody like me, who does not believe that the apocalypse will happen if the debt limit is not raised. And so it's fascinating the overall, the ballpark themes that the media, that the left has established, that they just attach various stories to: climate change deniers, and now there are deniers of the debt limit. And it's the same thing theme that constantly runs through these things. They just attach different stories to the themes. They keep recycling these things and it's all designed to make mainstream common sense look like it's wacko. Climate change deniers are the equivalent of Holocaust deniers. I mean, if anybody is extremist, it's the people on the left.
Reid to DC Mayor: "Don't Screw It Up!"
RUSH: Washington Post: "An unusual confrontation took place on the US Capitol steps Wednesday when District Mayor Vincent C. Gray crashed a news conference held by Senate Democrats and asked Majority Leader Harry Reid to exempt the city from the ongoing shutdown. 'Sir, we are not a department of the government,' Gray told Reid moments after the mayor concluded his own press event about 50 yards from where Reid held one. 'We're simply trying to be able to spend our own money.'"
And Reid said to Mayor Vincent Gray, "I'm on your side, don't screw it up, okay? Don't screw it up." So Dingy Harry's out there with another batch of lies about the shutdown, and here comes this clueless mayor of Washington blaming Dingy Harry for the shutdown in Washington. "Hey, we're not a branch of government. We need the money here." Dingy Harry (imitation), "Shut the hell up, you idiot, you fool, you're gonna blow it here."
"The intraparty tension comes after the Republican-controlled House voted last week to pass a bill allowing the District to use its locally raised tax funds to maintain operations until Dec. 15. But Democrats, including Reid and President Obama, have held fast in opposition to piecemeal funding bills." So Washington's not getting its dough. The Republicans have offered to fund DC and the NIH and any number of things, and Dingy Harry and the boys, "We're not gonna fall for that trick. We're not gonna go piecemeal. We're not gonna do that. We're not gonna give Ted Cruz that kind of power. What kind of fools do you think we are?"
The mayor walks over there (imitation), "We need the money! You guys are denying us the money!" Dingy Harry, "Shut up, you stupid idiot! I'm in the middle here of blaming the Republicans and you're acting like it's my fault. I'm on your side. Shut up. Don't screw it up!"
"At their own news conference on the Capitol grounds Wednesday, Gray and Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D) highlighted the partisan contradictions while detailing the drastic effect of the cash crunch on the District government -- including schools, health care, services for the disabled and senior programs." They don't have any money, because the Democrats have shut it down. And Gray walked over there and said (paraphrasing), "Would you give us our money back?" And Dingy Harry, "Shut up, you idiot, you're gonna mess this whole thing up. I'm on your side. Don't you understand what we're doing here?" The little mayor said, "I don't care what you're doing. My seniors don't have any money, and I don't have any money for health care, and I don't have any money to buy people. I don't have any graft money. I don't have anything, you guys have shut it down." Dingy, "Shut up, you fool. We're on the same side."
Eleanor Holmes Norton said, "Democrats, at this critical moment, have abandoned their long-held principles," calling it "shameful ... to hold the city's local funds hostage to make a federal point." So Eleanor Holmes Norton, a Democrat, she' a delegate to Congress from the district, accuses Dingy Harry and the Democrats of holding them hostage today. No wonder Dingy Harry's put out. He and Obama are blaming Boehner for holding them hostage. This little mayor walks over there with Eleanor Holmes Norton and claims that they're being held hostage by the Democrats. And amazingly, the Washington Post actually printed this.
White House, IRS Exchanged Confidential Taxpayer Info
RUSH: Do you remember, ladies and gentlemen, the IRS story, harassing the Tea Party, that it was a couple of rogue IRS employees in Cincinnati? It turns out not to be the case. "Top Internal Revenue Service Obamacare official Sarah Hall Ingram discussed confidential taxpayer information with senior Obama White House officials, according to 2012 emails obtained by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and provided to The Daily Caller."
So it does reach to the White House. You know, there was a time in American history, 1970s, White House involvement with the IRS was considered fatal to a presidency, as in Nixon. Here the Tea Party being harassed by the IRS, apparently White House officials were in fact involved, not just rogue employees in Cincinnati.

Eat to Dream: Penn Study Shows Dietary Nutrients Associated with Certain Sleep Patterns
First Nationally-Representative Analysis Reveals People Who Eat a Varied Diet Have Healthier Sleep Duration
PHILADELPHIA — "You are what you eat," the saying goes, but is what you eat playing a role in how much you sleep? Sleep, like nutrition and physical activity, is a critical determinant of health and well-being. With the increasing prevalence of obesity and its consequences, sleep researchers have begun to explore the factors that predispose individuals to weight gain and ultimately obesity. Now, a new study from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania shows for the first time that certain nutrients may play an underlying role in short and long sleep duration and that people who report eating a large variety of foods – an indicator of an overall healthy diet – had the healthiest sleep patterns. The new research is published online, ahead-of-print in the journal Appetite.
"Although many of us inherently recognize that there is a relationship between what we eat and how we sleep, there have been very few scientific studies that have explored this connection, especially in a real-world situation," said Michael A. Grandner, PhD, Instructor in Psychiatry and member of the Center for Sleep and Circadian Neurobiology at Penn. " In general, we know that those who report between 7 - 8 hours of sleep each night are most likely to experience better overall health and well being, so we simply asked the question "Are there differences in the diet of those who report shorter sleep, longer sleep, or standard sleep patterns?"
To answer this question, the research team analyzed data from the 2007-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. NHANES includes demographic, socioeconomic, dietary, and health-related questions. The sample for the survey is selected to represent the U.S. population of all ages and demographics. For the current study, researchers used the survey question regarding how much sleep each participant reported getting each night to separate the sample into groups of different sleep patterns. Sleep patterns were broken out as "Very Short'' (<5 h per night), ''Short'' (5–6 h per night), ''Standard' (7–8h per night), and ''Long'' (9 h or more per night). NHANES participants also sat down with specially trained staff who went over, in great detail, a full day's dietary intake. This included everything from the occasional glass of water to complete, detailed records of every part of each meal. With this data, the Penn research team analyzed whether each group differed from the 7-8 hour "standard" group on any nutrients and total caloric intake. They also looked at these associations after controlling for overall diet, demographics, socioeconomics, physical activity, obesity, and other factors that could have explained this relationship.
The authors found that total caloric intake varied across groups. Short sleepers consumed the most calories, followed by normal sleepers, followed by very short sleepers, followed by long sleepers. Food variety was highest in normal sleepers, and lowest in very short sleepers. Differences across groups were found for many types of nutrients, including proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals.
In a statistical analysis, the research team found that there were a number of dietary differences, but these were largely driven by a few key nutrients. They found that very short sleep was associated with less intake of tap water, lycopene (found in red- and orange-colored foods), and total carbohydrates, short sleep was associated with less vitamin C, tap water, selenium (found in nuts, meat and shellfish), and more lutein/zeaxanthin (found in green, leafy vegetables), and long sleep was associated with less intake of theobromine (found in chocolate and tea), dodecanoic acid (a saturated fat) choline (found in eggs and fatty meats), total carbohydrates, and more alcohol.
"Overall, people who sleep 7 - 8 hours each night differ in terms of their diet, compared to people who sleep less or more. We also found that short and long sleep are associated with lower food variety," said Dr. Grandner. "What we still don't know is if people altered their diets, would they be able to change their overall sleep pattern? This will be an important area to explore going forward as we know that short sleep duration is associated with weight gain and obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Likewise, we know that people who sleep too long also experience negative health consequences. If we can pinpoint the ideal mix of nutrients and calories to promote healthy sleep, the healthcare community has the potential to make a major dent in obesity and other cardiometabolic risk factors."
Other authors for Penn include Nicholas J. Jackson and Jason R. Gerstner, PhD.
This research was supported grants from National Institutes of Health (T32HL007713, 12SDG9180007 and P30HL101859).

Delaware County recycling program asks users to report overflowing bins
The Columbus Dispatch - January 17, 2013 11:27 AM
Keep Delaware County Beautiful asks community recycling bin users to report overflows by phoning 740-203-2076.
Rumpke Recycling crews have been emptying Delaware County's recycling dropoff bins as quickly as possible since Christmas. The work has been slowed because bins have been stuffed full and hand pickup was required for items illegally deposited outside the bins.
Keep Delaware County Beautiful Coordinator Jenifer Way-Young asks users who find full bins to be patient and either return at a later time or use a recycling bin at another location. A list of bin locations is posted on the the program's website.

Welcome to my weddings collection. Each gallery of images represents the couples personality and style. I appreciate you taking the time to view my work and I hope to leave you inspired to have me tell your story.
Whether its the hallway, the master bedroom or a family album, there is always room for a printed memory. In this day and age of digital technology, many tend to forget what it feels like to hold a photograph.
With this in mind I have applied my knowledge of printing and mounting, to offer display solutions for any project, whether large or small.
So share with me your next project and I will be delighted to help you conceptualize your next body of personal art.
You may consider museum quality prints on our wide selection of quality fine art papers, canvases, acrylic glass or I could suggest a mixed media approach to deliver something truly extraordinary.
So from the small collage layout to the giant wall display, I can engineer a solution to craftily showcase your masterpieces.
This album sets the benchmark as to what a luxury album should be. The specially engraved leather along with your personal logo embossed on the cover, sets this keepsake in a league of its own.
Matted pages are made from the finest Arches paper of France. We present this album in an archival solander box to keep it preserved for generations to come.
The Musée is available in black or tanned leather and are available both in horizontal and vertical layouts in 7x10 and 10x14 sizes.
With a wide variety of cover materials of various colors and textures, this album with its prestigious feel boasts some pretty cool features, such as page openings and page flips. Choose from our three layout options, Matted, Overlay or Duo.
Matted pages is the traditional style layout with the print being mounted beneath the mat.
These contemporary pages have a modern take on digital print layouts and are best suited for more graphical designs.
The duo would be considered the best of both worlds where contemporary meets tradition.
Mix matted layouts with graphical overlay pages and be the smartest album on the block.
Folios are standard with all wedding packages and neatly stores the flash drive with your digital images. Folios can be customized like all other boxes to suit any color scheme.
These elegant boxes are designed to keep your prized photographs dust free and also make great conversation pieces on your coffee table.
They are available in a wide array of colored fabrics and complementary ribbons to perfectly fit any theme. Sizes are available to accommodate prints as small as 4x6 to as large as our 11x14 matted prints.
If there was a word that could describe my feelings towards my art, it would be "Passion." Being a very creative and expressive person, I have chosen the path of photography as my medium to exhibit my creativity. Photography is my language and to be given the opportunity to document one of the most important events in a persons life is truly an honor, and to tell it from my heart is fulfilling. My approach to each wedding is unique just as the people being documented. A balance between documentary and artistic directing brings a refined finish to my presentation while preserving the authenticity of the day. I look forward to the next celebration and maybe it will be yours.
I look forward to learning more about your event, so feel welcome to share your thoughts and ideas and I will be more than happy to assist you.
Please leave me details about your event along with your name and contacts
e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
A. My approach to weddings is from a documentary point of view, yet I do direct when needs be to deliver stronger images that would not exist without my intervention.
A. Events can get quite sizable and a second photographer provides extra coverage and helps with providing a more thorough documentation of the event or events which may occur simultaneously. So while not manditory, it is recommended under certain circumstances.
A. As long as the images are used in a non-commercial manner it is OK. We will be honored if you credit us for taking the image and even a link to our website is very much appreciated.
A. I do not limit the amount of images I deliver per shoot, as my approach to documenting your event is not based on quantity, but more on effectively narrating your story with as many images necessary.
A. Certainly. Just tell me where and when.
A. All images are presented on a flash drive and for weddings and portraits I do offer proof prints which are enclosed in a solander storage box.
A. Printing is a part of my expression as an artist. Printing offers another level of visual experience which adds a whole new dimension to my work. Holding a photograph in your hands and feeling the texture of the paper is something that a digital image cannot provide.
Our brand new blog will be up soon.

My Man
Submitted by jeazelle on August 17, 2012 - 7:10pm. English | Poetry
He should be true,
He should have a clue,
he should know what to do.
He should have humor,
shower me with ardor.
He can be Black ow White.
He must cradle me at night.
His head should not be thick,
never should he be a prick.
He has the power to make me cry,
but he will never try.
He should love me.
My personality and my family.
He should be sweet and adorable,
should already have grown balls.
He must fight for me,
even against me,
just to be with me.

Click here to view the gallery: Behind The Scenes 55th Grammy Awards
Music's biggest artists will take the stage for the 55th Grammy Awards on Sunday night at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. Held in the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the event is one of music industry's largest, featuring live performances from 21 different artists.
[More from Mashable: 3 Ways to Enjoy the Grammys Online]
While the broadcast may only last a few hours, it's the product of days and weeks of work from everyone from set designers to audio engineers -- not to mention the artists themselves.
[More from Mashable: How Grammy Performers Are Helping Musicians In Need]
We went behind the scenes for one of the show's last days of rehearsals to get a glimpse at what goes into the epic live broadcast.
Not rehearsed in order, artists were each given between an hour and an hour and a half of rehearsal time between Thursday and Saturday to try their act out on stage. During the rehearsals, they set audio levels and determine blocking -- that is, where they will be located on the stage as they perform. The first time the show will be run though in order will be from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. PT on Sunday, just a few hours before the show goes live across the globe.
Check out the gallery above for our exclusive look at some of the people and equipment that go into the extravagant television production.

Vattel Cherry: Disciplines
This recording is split between two trios. The first finds Cherry with Jackie Blake and Ras Chris. The interaction between the three starts, stops, stutters and pauses as if all they want to play is a processional. The band deliberately avoids intensive energy music for the more random improvisations of chance and collective constructions. The first half of the disc feels as if the trio is listening too closely to each other, rather than attacking. They engage in the final two "Levels" more for the live audience, than on the musicians' own initiative. Cherry has a commanding style with his finger action, leaving listeners wanting more pluck, less bow.
The second disc has the bassist's sister Nicole Cherry and John Dierker aboard. Likewise, the second trio begins cautiously with each musician suggesting directions, rethinking their position and making new proposals. The exploration of alternate methods of playing via the pluck, knock, and rattle only adds to the tentativeness of the moment. Their deliberate effort to avoid rhythmic patterns and melody wears on your patience a bit. But otherwise there are moments of sober and beautiful reality here.
Would this disc have benefited from a bit of editing? Perhaps... its nearly two hours would have been a more engaging 74-minute single disc. As they say, with freedom comes responsibility.
Track Listing: Level 1; Level 2; Level 3; Level 4; First Level; Second Level; Third Level; Fourth Level.
Personnel: Vattel Cherry – Double Bass, Bells, Whistles, Percussion; Jackie Blake – Clarinet, Soprano Saxophone, Flute, Percussion; Ras Chris – Guitar, Harmonica, Bamboo Flute, Kalimba, Percussion; John Dierker – Bass Clarinet, Nicole Cherry – Violin.

Jones Anchors Navy in Opening Win over VMI
from Press Release
Navy Recap
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Call it a coincidence or call it months of pent up frustration. Whatever it is, senior attack man Sam Jones (Annapolis, Md.) has had VMI in his crosshairs in each of the last fours, including Saturday afternoon when he scored a career-high 10 points on four goals and six assists to lead the Navy men's lacrosse team to an 18-5 victory in its 2014 season opener against the Keydets at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
"I think it's a coincidence," said Jones with a laugh when what it is about VMI that lends itself to his success. "I think it's the first game after sitting on that last loss from a year ago. We've been working hard over the last six or seven months and I just came out fired up."
Jones, who has produced an amazing 27 points on 16 goals and 11 assists in his four appearances against the Keydets, played a role in 10 of the Mids' 18 goals on Saturday. He provided assists on five of the Mids' first six goals before getting in on the scoring act with a goal that was made for the highlight reels in the second quarter. Stumbling backwards, he took a pass from fellow attack Tucker Hull (Charlotte, N.C.) and threw the ball over his head with his back to the goal as he fell to the ground, making contact with the back of the net.
Jones went on to score three second half goals and tacked on an assist as his 10-point performance marked the most points by a Navy player since Dennis Nealon produced 12 points (4G, 8A) against Washington College on March 20, 1991. It's tied as the fifth most points and he becomes one of just six different players in the program's 107-year history to reach double figure points in a single game.
Navy's opening-day success, however, wasn't just about Jones. Eleven different players punched in goals for the Midshipmen, including three first-time scorers - junior attack Jack Hinderland (Webster, N.Y.), junior middie Tim Roy(Flemington, N.J.) and freshman faceoff specialist Brady Dove (Stevensville, Md).
In addition to Jones, Hull and midfielders Pat Durkin (Germantown, Md.) and Austin Heneveld (East Hampton, N.Y.) each contributed multiple goals. Hull recorded his 12th collegiate hat trick and added a pair of assists for a five-point game, as he moved up on the career leader boards. Hull is 23rd on the career scoring list with 111 points, one behind 2001 graduate Adam Borcz and Jones, while pushing up to 16th on the assists list with 49 over his four seasons.
Navy generated a number of its goals in transition, including goals by Heneveld and Hull in the second quarter off forced turnovers by the defense. VMI had 21 turnovers in the contest and Navy was credited with nine caused turnovers. Leading the way was the school's all-time leader in the category, co-captain Pat Kiernan (Ridgewood, N.J.), who had three takeaways.
Navy's defense, which started freshmen Chris Fennell (Milford, N.J.) and Matt Rees (Sykesville, Md.), as well as first-year starting keeper John Connors (Bellmore, N.Y.) in goal, surrendered just five goals, the fewest in the series since 2010 when Navy beat the Keydets, 16-5. It's also the fewest goals Navy has allowed in a game since turning in an 8-2 victory over nationally-ranked Johns Hopkins on Feb. 21, 2012.
Meanwhile, Navy's offense also had the luxury of having the ball in its sticks thanks to the outstanding play of its faceoff unit. Overall, Navy won 21 of the 27 draws and was led by Dove, who claimed 16 of the 21 faceoffs he took. Additionally, long pole Pat Menezes (Wading River, N.Y.) won three of four and sophomore Sean Reilly (Doylestown, Pa.) won both of his draws.
Navy opened up a 4-0 lead after the first quarter and led 10-0 with just under a minute to play in the half when VMI finally got on the scoreboard. The Mids outscored the Keydets 8-4 in the second half.
The veteran attack combo of Micky Hofmeister and Mike DeBlasio combined to score all five of VMI's goals, as well as dealing out both assists.
The Mids return to action next Saturday when they play host to Georgetown at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium beginning at 12:00 pm . The game will be carried live by WNAV 1430 AM / 99.9 FM, while a live video stream will be available on PatriotLeague.tv with Pete Medhurst and Joe Miller on the call.
VMI Recap
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The Virginia Military Institute men's lacrosse team opened its 2014 season on Saturday, taking on the United States Naval Academy for a seventh-straight season as the opener. The Midshipmen won 18-5 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in non-conference action.
The Keydets (0-1) got a one-two punch from senior Mickey Hofmeister and junior Mike DeBlasio, two of the team's three captains this season. DeBlasio notched three goals, the fifth hat trick of his career, while Hofmeister potted a pair. The two attackmen assisted each other once. Hofmeister's goals were his first since Apr. 14, 2012 after missing all of 2013 with a lower body injury.
The Mids (1-0) jumped out to a 10-goal lead before halftime, sparked by 10 points from Sam Jones on four goals and six assists. Tucker Hall scored three times and had two assists for five points on the day. Pat Durkin netted two goals and had one assist as Patrick Keena had one goal and one assist. Six other Mids scored goals while another had one assist each.
"We never hammer too much on turnovers, the way we play I hate to say they're irrelevant but I don't get caught up with that too much," said head coach Brian Anken, who has begun each of his four seasons at VMI against Navy. "It was some of the decision making between the boxes that came back to bite us today."
Between the pipes, VMI's Evan Windisch made the first start of his career, making a 10 saves. The junior played all 60 minutes in goal for the Keydets. Opposite Windisch, John Connors got the win, making seven saves in his 52 minutes of work. Paul Zimmerman finished the game for the Mids, making one stop.
Defensively, VMI was led by junior Tyler Prasnicki, who forced three Midshipmen turnovers. the team's third captain, Rory Dillon, logged one caused turnover, as did Windisch, Ty Trobridge, Tom Brown and midfielder Dale Mattice.
"We made them earn their goals in settled situations. We needed to counter in some unsettled and chaos goals the way they did today. They took great advantage of it today," said Anken.
The Keydets struggled in clearing, gaining the zone 15 times on 25 attempts. Navy cleared 21 of their 25 tries, including several in odd-number situations that led to goals. VMI lost the ground ball game, collecting 27 against Navy's 44. The Mids won the faceoff game as well, taking 21 of the 27 attempts.
A team that pressures heavily on defense, the Keydets did not take a penalty. The Midshipmen were penalized three times, including a pair on Colin Flounlacker that resulted in a two-minute extra-man opportunity for VMI. DeBlasio's third goal of the day came during the two minute man-up period.
VMI plays its home opener next weekend when it takes on another service academy, the United States Military Academy. Game time between the Keydets and Black Knights is set for noon at Drill Field #2 on the Institute's North Post.

This is a bit of an unhelpful post because the item I'm writing about is not on the menu - however, I have to tell you anyway.
I was recently in San Francisco, and a friend took me to eat at Ebisu. Sushi? Yes please. [as you know]
We sat at the sushi bar, looked through the menu - and when it came time to order from the Sushi Chef, I requested my typical tuna and avocado roll - but asked him to add jalapeno. He smiled and asked I was open to fish eggs and spicy mayo. I said yes, though not much mayo. I was curious what was going on - I guess this is my own fault for not sitting at sushi bars more often. Little did I know, he was about work some serious sushi magic on my boring little request.
My dining companion and I fell into conversation, aware that he was rolling up sushi for both ourselves and other diners... All of the sudden, our Sushi Chef was torching - yes, using some sort of flame tool - our roll of sushi - and it was mine! He'd put the jalapenos on top of all the other deliciousness, and was torching them to get more flavor out of them.
This is what was then handed to us:
It was AMAZING. Literally some of the best sushi I've ever had. No idea what it cost, but really don't care. (I don't think it was too crazy, though.) THANK YOU SUSHI CHEF.

Navajo Dam & Reservoir Operations Draft Environmental Impact Statement
The Colorado River Storage Project includes many storage facilities constructed on the mainstem of the Colorado River and various tributaries including the Aspinall Unit on the Gunnison River, Flaming Gorge Dam on the Green River, and Navajo Dam on the San Juan River. The Navajo Unit of the CRSP consists of a dam and reservoir that is owned, operated, and maintained by the Bureau of Reclamation. The facility is located on the San Juan River in New Mexico and Colorado and operates as a storage unit of the CRSP, subject to the terms of the Upper Colorado River Basin Compact, the Colorado River Storage Project Act of April 11, 1956 (70 Stat.105), and the act of June 13, 1962, authorizing the San Juan-Chama and Navajo Indian Irrigation Projects. The CRSP provides an irrigation and municipal and industrial water supply, flood control, recreation, hydropower, and fish and wildlife benefits.
Construction of the CRSP water storage facilities was critical to the development of the Upper Basin's (Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico) water resources, however, natural riverine habitats were altered due to the variation of natural flow regimes, water quality, and water temperatures. In addition, other urban-development related impacts resulted in a reduction of native fish populations and eventual listing of the Colorado pikeminnow (formerly Colorado squawfish) and razorback sucker as endangered.
A reevaluation of Navajo Dam operations began when Reclamation requested formal consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under Section 7, of the Endangered Species Act (ESA)1973, in 1991. The catalyst for operational changes and Section 7 consultation (which ensures federal agency actions are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of listed species) on Navajo Dam was the proposed construction of the Animas-La Plata (ALP) Project. A draft biological opinion on ALP (May, 7, 1990) concluded that construction of the project would jeopardize the continued existence of the pikeminnow. During this time, new hydrological investigations suggested that additional flexibility which existed in the operation of Navajo Dam could help offset the negative impacts of ALP's construction. A reduction in late fall and winter releases would allow for water availability to increase spring peaks and return the San Juan River to a more natural hydrograph that would mimic pre-dam historic flow conditions. This flexibility in flow patterns would assist in the development of a reasonable and prudent alternative to the jeopardy biological opinion and allow initial ALP construction efforts to move forward. The reasonable and prudent alternative (RPA) that was developed required Navajo Dam operations to mimic a natural hydrograph for the life of the dam. Since no natural hydrograph was defined or developed for the San Juan River, the RPA also included a commitment to fund approximately seven years of research to determine the flow requirements for the pikeminnow and razorback sucker. This seven-year study was completed in 1997 under the San Juan River Basin Recovery Implementation Program (Program).
Flow Recommendations
In May 1999, the Program's Biology Committee provided year-round flow recommendations for the San Juan River necessary for the recovery of the two endangered fishes. It is anticipated that implementation of the flow recommendations, or reasonable alternative to it, will allow for a non-jeopardy biological opinion to be issued by the Service for the operations of Navajo Dam.
Reclamation proposes to implement recommended flows from Navajo Dam, or reasonable alternative to it, resulting from the consultation under the ESA. The proposed action would be implemented by modifying the operations decision criteria of Navajo Dam to provide sufficient releases of water at times, quantities, and durations necessary to protect the endangered fish and their designated critical habitat while maintaining the other authorized purposes of the Navajo Unit.
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
The criteria for reservoir operation decisions, that include the needs of the endangered fishes in the San Juan River, are new to the operations decision process for the Navajo Unit. Operations that result from implementing flow recommendations for endangered fishes will be different than historic operations. Reclamation considers it prudent to voluntarily complete an environmental impact statement (EIS) covering the incorporation of recommended flows into the decision criteria for Navajo Dam and Reservoir. Reclamation filed a notice of intent on October 1, 1999, in the Federal Register to initiate the preparation of the draft EIS. As part of this process several public meetings were held to provide information and obtain input from the public. The list of meetings is contained in the October 4, 1999 press release.
The San Juan River Basin Recovery Implementation Program
The purpose of the San Juan River Basin Recovery Implementation Program is to protect and recover endangered fishes in the San Juan River basin while water allowing water development to proceed in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws. The San Juan River Basin Recovery Implementation Program was developed as a cooperative effort among agencies of the Department of the Interior, tribes, states, and water development interests including the following: US bureau of Reclamation, US Bureau of Indian Affairs, US Fish and Wildlife Service, US Bureau of Land Management, Ute Mountain Ute Indian Tribe, Southern Ute Indian Tribe, Jicarilla Apache Indian Tribe, Navajo Nation, Water Development Interests, and the states of New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah.

Starting Tuesday, if a car fails the test because of a leaking gas cap, a new one will be provided for free at the testing center.
In the past, car owners have had to leave the testing center to buy a new gas cap at an auto supply store, and then get another emissions test. The testing center was required to conduct the retest for free.
The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality worked with Gordon-Darby, a private company that conducts all emissions tests for the state, to eliminate the need for a second trip to the testing center.
State officials say distributing gas caps at the testing point will save car owners time and hassle, and will save Gordon-Darby the cost of conducting a second test.
Regular gas caps sell for up to $15 and the contractor will cover the cost.
Beth Gorman, public outreach and education manager with the Pima County Department of Air Quality, said she welcomes DEQ's newest program.
"Motor vehicles are a major source of air pollution in our community," Gorman said. "So anything that we can do to reduce emissions from these vehicles is going to help our air quality. Gas caps can leak gasoline fumes, which wastes gas, but those fumes also combine in the presence of other pollutants and solar radiation to form a very dangerous pollutant called ground level ozone."
Each year, nearly 75,000 cars in Arizona fail emissions because of leaking gas caps.

Katya Sourikova: Angels & Satellites
The ten-piece suite references the short cinematic poems inside the liner notes, which add a visual component to the music's thematic narrative in their concise description of the deeper aspects of human life: joy; inspiration; disillusion; hope; confusion; and existentialism. Sourikova chose the tracks for this suite out of many sessions that were recorded on various trips to New York and Montréal between 2006 to 2008, all captured superbly. Her quartet is augmented by partner/producer Michael Avery, who blends in subtle electronics.
As on her debut recording, the music develops in an organic manner with a fluid, almost telepathic understanding between Sourikova and MacDonald that affects the patient interplay of other musicians. But if Steps in the Snow was an extremely serene document of mutual interplay, here there is a gradual attempt to form more dissonant textures, as the suite evolves.
The suite begins with a cycle of slow, sensual and spare compositions. "Sunset in Snow," "Angels & Satellites I" and "December Sky" all possess folkloric themes, followed by a duo of Sourikova with Macdonald on the brief "Homage to Messiaen," a tribute to French composer Olivier Messiaen. On "Angels & Satellites II," Sourikova effects a change of atmosphere, her impressive intense playing, with fragmented chords and nuanced dense patterns, concluding with a simple, beautiful theme.
"I, Sputnik" and "Canopy Tale" are beautiful, abstract compositions that, again, testify to the rare musical understanding between Sourikova and MacDonaldwhether alone or with Avery's eerie electronicsarticulating themes from basic elements like whispering into the saxophone mouthpiece and ringing piano chords. "Angles & Satellites III" and "Angels & Satellites IV" offer dissonant rhythmic outbursts, as Sourikova leads the musicians to energetic heights. This most beautiful recording is concluded by the majestic, minimalist "Fall."
Track Listing: Sunset in Snow; Angels & Satellites I; December Sky; Homage to Messiaen; Angels & Satellites II; I, Sputnik; Canopy Tale; Angels & Satellites III; Angels & Satellites IV; Fall.
Personnel: Katya Sourikova: piano; Curtis Macdonald: alto saxophone; Rémi-Jean LeBlanc: double-bass (2-10); Rick Rosato: double-bass (1); Ivan Bamford: drums; Michael Avery: electronics.

Smooth and with depth of taste, it rolls on the tongue like cold, creamy silk, it has a long finish and, best of all, it is not cloying like other Dulce de Leche ice creams from trendy brands after which I have had to down a pint of ice cold water.
Is it the salt that mitigates the sweetness? Or the quality of the milk? As with all Talenti gelati, great care was placed in sourcing all-natural ingredients for this new flavor. The Sea Salt Caramel gelato features rich Argentine milk caramel (dulce de leche) made exclusively for Talenti, Fleur De Sel — the prized sea salt from France— and tiny chocolate-covered sea salt caramel truffles.
A healthier alternative to regular ice creams and other frozen creamy desserts, Talenti's Sea Salt Caramel gelato and all of its other flavors, contains about 30% less fat than regular ice cream. Talenti is made with all-natural and raw ingredients, sourced locally and from around the world—hormone-free milk, chocolate from Belgium, fresh whole Tahitian vanilla beans from Papua New Guinea, select coconuts from the Philippines, and real Argentine dulce de leche. Suggested retail price: $4.99-$5.99.
Talenti which began as a gelato store and café in 2001 in Dallas, Texas, on the model of a turn of the 20th-century Italo-Argentine heladeria , has grown into a best-selling gelato brand in the country. With 18 delicious flavors of gelato and sorbetto, Talenti continues to grow in distribution and today is available in well over 15,000 stores nationwide.

Welcome to Protect & Serve, a monthly column featuring news and information from the communication technicians (or police dispatchers, as we are more commonly known) at the Pickerington Police Department.
We want to pass on to you, our residents, some of the more common complaints and concerns we receive in an effort to keep you safer and better informed.
The arrival of spring often brings with it increased calls regarding wildlife.
The most common complaint/ concern we receive is about raccoons out during the day that appear ill and possibly rabid.
These normally nocturnal creatures are usually described as appearing disoriented, staggering, foaming at the mouth and, on the rare occasion, aggressive.
Officer Tony Zerkle, Wildlife Officer for Fairfield County, says he commonly sees raccoons with suspected cases of parvo virus and canine distemper (neither are contagious to humans), and isn't aware of a reported case of raccoon rabies in central Ohio in decades.
Commander Greg Annis, who heads our Patrol Division, wants residents to know that "if the animal is merely a nuisance our officers can assist in shooing it away, otherwise (residents) will have to contact a private service for removal."
He stresses there are "inherent dangers with the use of firearms" in residential areas, so, officers will only shoot the raccoon if it is "sick, injured, overly aggressive and a hazard to humans."
The Protect & Serve column was submitted by the communication technicians at the Pickerington Police Department.

What are prefabricated roof curbs?
Major functions of prefabricated roof curbs
The major functions of prefabricated roof curbs include protection and diversion; they help keep water from collecting in certain areas of a roof which can lead to damage over time. Roof curbs look like large, metal sleeves and slip over a chimney or roof vent. Once installed, they form a water-tight seal that cannot be penetrated.
This keeps the support beams and roof joists strong and durable, rather than becomming weak and rotting. They are available in many different configurations, including canted, cantless, raised cant and self-flashing. Each perform a specific function according to your specifications, so it is extremely important that your figures are accurate.
The construction of prefabricated roof curbs makes them useful in many different applications, which adds to their versatility. Because they are made from metals like aluminum and stainless steel, they are also suited for all environments; both metals repel rust and corrosion. Some standard features include wood nailers and fiberglass insulators. Paired with other options, like double or single-pitched mounting and metal liners, they can be super-productive.
Manufacturers of prefabricated roof curbs
Manufacturers of prefabricated roof curbs can create customized units to sit on top of chimneys or roof vents that require special configurations. For example, some large, industrial facilities have specifications that cannot be matched to standard roof curb dimensions. The manufacturer's main goal is to provide you with the product that best fits the situation. They have the ability to sketch drawings according to your needs and construct well-built roof curbs that will perform their functions flawlessly.
As you work with the manufacturer, you will also able to make changes before the final product is completed. Your input becomes part of the process. This means they will definitely keep you well-informed and seek your permission to alter configurations or measurements to guarantee the ideal unit.
This is one of the main reasons to work with a manufacturer, rather than a retail dealer. Retailers cannot create one of a kind units, they only sell what they have in their inventory. While this is generally fine for most projects, those that require special parts or features will not be pleased with their limited selections.
Once your roof curbs are complete, the manufacturer is responsible for overseeing the quality control aspect. They must ensure that your product passes all certification and safety requirements, before you take possession.
Self-installation of prefabricated roof curbs
Self installation of prefabricated roof curbs is highly discouraged, unless you work in the industry. This is because to successfully install roof curbs, you need a certain level of skill and expertise. You need to have knowledge of electrical and ventilation systems and understand how to read blueprints and schematics.
The prefabricated roof curbs cover the vents which means you must identify the current ventilation system to make sure the ducts are perfectly aligned. And, since the entire exhaust system is electric, you will be working with circuit breakers, fuse boxes and other electrical enclosures. If you are not certain on how to proceed, you may cause major damage to the structure or the existing systems.

Talking to 60 Minutes
The image you are trying to upload is either too big or is an unacceptable format. Please upload a .jpg or .png image that is under 25MB.
I just watched Charlie Rose's story on 60 Minutes about the work Melinda and I are doing. I've spoken with Charlie several times over the years and am always impressed by how well-prepared and thoughtful he is. I know journalists hate it when the people they cover say things like that, but it's true.
Sitting down with Charlie in my office. It's always interesting to talk with Charlie because the conversation can range from polio and climate change to technology and healthcare.
It's amazing how much footage they shoot for a 13-minute segment. We spent two days together and did five interviews in that time, including one with Melinda and another with my dad. You can see some of the footage that didn't air here.
My dad invited the cameras into his home—where I grew up—to talk about some of the influences that initially led me to technology and ultimately philanthropy.
That's a lot of time together, but I was happy to do it, because it was a great opportunity to share my optimism about the chance we have to save and improve lives in the poorest countries. I wanted the audience to see that my optimism is based on science, hard data, and the phenomenal dedication of people I have met who commit their lives to helping the poorest.
There's almost nothing I like more than spending time with scientists, so I took Charlie on a tour of Intellectual Ventures to see the amazing work happening related to malaria prevention and cold storage for vaccines.
For example, the 60 Minutes crew joined me in Ghana, where we saw the painstaking work being done there to immunize children against deadly diseases, even in very remote areas. I also met with some local women there who are using their own money to run a program to feed schoolchildren. It's very inspiring.
While visiting a farm to learn more about a school feeding program in Ghana, Charlie's producer and I found a shady spot to sit down and talk about why I come to Africa.
It's fantastic that a show like 60 Minutes would devote so much air time to these issues. Not every news organization will get excited when you say, "Let's go to Ghana so we can talk about vaccines." But there are a lot of great stories in global health. The world has made phenomenal progress in saving and improving lives—the child mortality rate has dropped by two thirds in my lifetime—and innovations are coming that will save even more lives in the years ahead. I'm glad 60 Minutes decided to tell part of this story.
Of course there will always be challenges. That's why, even in tough financial times, we need to maintain our support for people working on behalf of the poor. Governments and donors need to keep their commitments for aid. And if you want to help as an individual, you can support organizations like Rotary International, UNICEF, and Save the Children, which are running very effective programs.
When it comes to saving lives and fighting poverty, we're making progress faster than ever. I hope the 60 Minutes story left you feeling as optimistic as I am.
