February marijuana sales dip
So does county's tax revenue
The second month of legal recreational marijuana sales in Pueblo saw three more stores open and $4,000 less in sales tax revenues collected by the county.
Pueblo County Clerk and Recorder Gilbert "Bo" Ortiz said five Pueblo County stores delivered $28,724 in sales tax to the county late last week, representing roughly $820,000 in total sales for the month of February.
The county imposes a specific marijuana sales tax of 3.5 percent, which is collected by the county clerk's office.
That tax is in addition to what the county earns from its general, 1 percent sales tax on all items sold in the county and its portion of the state's marijuana-specific 10 percent sales tax.
The state collects both of those taxes and those totals won't be official until the state issues a report sometime next month.
But based on what the county collected from its own tax, it stands to gain about $49,000 from the sale of recreational marijuana in February.
In January, the county collected $32,643 in county marijuana tax from just two stores and brought in a total of about $56,000 from all marijuana sales tax sources.
It may be that the novelty of legal weed has worn off a bit from its historic first month, but Ortiz said it will be difficult to make any real predictions or analysis until after the county has a full year under its belt.
"We really aren't expecting anything right now," he said. "It's all new revenue and I think that's good enough for us."

Highlights from the Marine Programme at GRID-Arendal for October 2010
1. Featured Project
ROCK BOTTOM: Global Outlook on Benthic Ecosystems
GRID-Arendal is coordinating the production of a report that highlights why we need to understand and consider the importance of benthic ecosystems – this world underwater visited by so few of us. Developed through a network of marine researchers from around the world, the Global Outlook on Benthic Ecosystems aims to provide a multi-thematic overview on some of the key aspects shaping current debates on the management of our oceans. Spanning a range of themes that include the description of seascapes, the need to conserve marine biodiversity, the development of marine resources, benthic habitat mapping for management, and legal regimes – this Outlook will become an important tool for an ecosystem-based approach to the spatial management of the seabed. Although based on the work of the scientific community, the style and language will be designed for non-experts. The publication is expected to be completed in 2011/2012.
For more information, please contact Elaine Baker
2. Data and Products
Sick Water? among the finalists in the Digital Magazine Awards 2010

Here's how RW members rated this race (98 votes).
In short: Great Atmosphere for a great causeIn full: Had a great time today at this race this is my 5th 10K and I must say this was by far the best for atmosphere they really got the mood going with the music few hills but i still manages a PB of 53.20 so that topped it for me. Had no problems with getting race number and chip time the course was around greenwich park and you had to go to one point 3 times if you were listening to instructions given then it was simple enough but some people got confused and i think it was on my 3rd time that some people were getting confused on where they should be going so got in the way a bit. £18 was probably most I have spent but a nice medal at end and it is for a good cause thanks for a great morning out the missus and kids came along and wore fake moustaches which was very funny :-)Date of review: November 13, 2010
In short: £18 to run in the park!!Date of review: October 27, 2010
In short: Terrain from smooth to rough to muddyIn full: Thi is my second time on this course, and the pebbly bits were a bit slippery (we were warned at the start), but there weren't as many muddy puddles as last year. Organisation was good; although arriving after 9am meant a longish queue for the loos I still managed to do that, register and drop my bag off by 9.25. I thought the post-run massage tables were a lovely touch - I've got my name down for one next year! The scenery is very nice, but the rough running surface in many places gave me no tome to look at it. Talked to a first-timer who said what a lovely friendly atmosphere there was, which I think sums it up. Oh - and I set a new PB, 5 minutes quicker than this event in 2009!Date of review: October 19, 2010
In short: Rough Surface in places and quite narrow, But pleasant enoughIn full: More a trail race than anything else. Seems to be mixed up with a few other races as no hills in site even though some reviews mention them. Course runs out and back and then back again along the river tow paths. Wore road flats for this (mistake) and struggled a bit on the surface which is quite rough in places. So on paper could be a PB course, for me turned not to be so. Quite narrow in places but they stagggered the start a little to avoid congestion but quite a busy wee route so some weeving in and out Sunday wakers and Bikes. Very pretty area and probably a good race for novice runners as found myself much further up the field than I normally would Date of review: October 19, 2010
In short: Nice run and well organised, busy and narrow in places.Date of review: October 16, 2010
In short: one to try just for the area and organization.In full: thanks to dave and his team for entering me only the night before.easy parking and well marshalled event meant it ran like clockwork.will definately try some more of the fix events in the future. oh and even the dogs new to stay on the left?Date of review: March 28, 2010
In short: My first ever 10K. Was well organised and had a great atmosphere. In full: Even though the terrain was a little lively I managed to get caught up in my first ever 10K and beat my PB. Had a really good race and will definitely be signing up for next year.Date of review: March 27, 2010
In short: Well organised, scenic and fast. Can't ask for much more.In full: The race buildup was great, with a very energetic girl with the mic doing her best to build the atmosphere. Only minor quibble would be the queue for the loos which was a bit long.The race itself was well marshalled, with clear km markers, and very scenic. Pretty much totally flat, albeit with some large puddles and mud patches to navigate at some points.All in all a great race for both faster and slower runners.Date of review: March 27, 2010
In short: A nice little eventIn full: This was a nice day out, in a pleasant part of London and on flat trails. Organization was excellent, with plenty of advance communication, efficient chip handout and starting bang on time with phased starts.Date of review: March 27, 2010

Brown Curly Basic Bob
This hairstyle is a basic, short bob that is kept up-to-date through the growing-out process by using curls and movement. A medium-barreled curling irong was used through the mid-strands and ends of the hair to create a soft wave that was then raked through with the fingers to create natural movement.This is just barely a medium-length haircut that started out as a basic bob. A short, stream-line nape that elongates into an A-line that was meant to just hug the chin and frame the face. Soft, long-layers throughout keep the look contemporary and classic without being overly done.The hair colour is left almost completely natural with a base of a level 8 blonde, but enhanced slightly with cool-toned, bright blonde highlights throughout the shape.

I love ASU +8 (I would consider them a good pick at -8). Cal remains overrated (for one more week).
I love Arizona to at least keep it close against USC, closer than 21.5.
Tennessee will destroy Marshall, Fulmer needs to put up big numbers so I am not afraid of a 22 point spread.
Iowa is a lock to cover 21 on a hapless Illinois team. Good thing they are not playing any more D1AA teams or Illinois could really embarass themselves this year.
BC is a good pick too, NCSU sucks, but you do have to consider the whole, trying to save their coaches job angle.
Tennessee 2*
Iowa 3*
Navy 2*
MSU 1* over ND (+3.5)
scUM 1* over Wisconsin (-14)

I have been using Hugo for nearly six years now and since my divorce every woman I have dated has been unbelievably attracted to the smell. It's a citrusy/woodsy smell that is not overpowering and does not smell like alcohol or other irritants that sensitive nosed people can't stand. This cologne is a winner and I hope that Hugo never stops making it because I am hopeful to use this, and only this, for my entire life. Ladies, if you don't like your mans cologne, check this one out. And guys, if you are looking for a cologne that virtually every woman will love, look no further than Hugo.
Written by Zipster257 on May 21, 2014
Hugo by Hugo Boss is a very clean scent. wore it many years ago and just recently I stopped someone and ask what he was wearing. I forgot how wonderful "HUGO" was. Your prices are the best, beats the big box stores.

For me it's still Dream Boogie - The Triumph of Sam Cooke. It was really cool to hear Van Morrison sing "Real Real Gone" the other night, especially the "Sam Cooke is on the radio..." line.
I know dying young always adds to the legend, but Sam Cooke is just a great 20th Century American story. (Like Buddy Holly, Elvis Presely, and Otis Redding) Such a giant. In fact, I'm surprised there hasn't been a film about him yet.

Air tankers join battle against stubborn East Peak Fire
LA VETA — Firefighters had help from the sky Friday in an intense battle to douse the stubborn East Peak Fire. The blaze continued to burn east of the Spanish Peaks.
By Friday night, 9,400 acres of rugged land was charred and the blaze was 0 percent contained.
Numerous resources including air tankers arrived Friday to assist with suppression efforts. No injuries were reported.
Officials said nine structures and four out buildings have been lost.
The La Veta Fairgrounds (4-H Barn) was accepting large and small animal evacuees.
Huerfano County Sheriff Bruce Newman said the fire was at least 13 miles away from Walsenburg.
Although it was moving east, Newman said the winds could shift the fire at any time.
Two large air tankers dropped red slurry over the blaze while Chinook helicopters poured water on hot spots.
Huerfano County Commissioner Max Vezzani said he continues to be optimistic about the firefighting efforts.
"Fire crews are doing a great job . . . Our goal remains the same — keep people safe, get folks out of harm's way," Vezzani said.
The incident management team assigned to the fire Friday transitioned into the Rocky Mountain Incident Command Type II team at 6 p.m.
There were mandatory evacuations in place for the Blackhawk Ranch subdivision, the Silver Spurs subdivision, from Walsenburg south to the Huerfano and Las Animas county lines and everything east of La Veta to Interstate 25.
Newman said 75 homes remained in the mandatory evacuation area and 500-plus homes were in the pre-evacuation area. On Wednesday, 177 Boy Scouts were evacuated from the Spanish Peaks Boy Scout Ranch. A building on the ranch was destroyed, officials said. The Boy Scouts have all returned to their homes.
Gov. John Hickenlooper signed an executive order to declare a disaster emergency related to the East Peak Fire. It authorizes the transfer of $3 million from the Disaster Emergency Fund to pay for the fire suppression, response and recovery effort related to the fire since its inception.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency authorized the use of federal resources to help with firefighting costs for the fire. The funds come in the form of a Fire Management Assistance Grant, which the state requested.
"Our firefighters and first responders need all the resources they can get at this critical time," said Colorado U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet. "This federal grant will help support their efforts battling this fire."
A smoky haze clouded the landscape along I-25 from Pueblo to Aguilar. The sky to the south of Trinidad was clear Friday morning.
Residents in La Veta and Walsenburg were going about their daily business as fire trucks and law enforcement vehicles cluttered the streets.
More than 150 firefighters responded from La Veta, Pueblo County, Pinon Canyon, Huerfano County, Colorado State Patrol, Boulder Rural Fire, the U.S. Forrest Service and others.
Newman said more are expected today.

This is another good moisturizing body wash from Dove, though like some of their other body washes, it's a bit disappointing that it contains a small amount of soap ingredients (tallow acid) as these certainly weren't needed in a formula that already contains sufficient non-soap cleansing agents.
Best for normal to dry skin that's not prone to breakouts, this body wash lathers nicely, cushions skin as it cleanses, and leaves it feeling soft. It rinses decently, though won't leave skin feeling residue-free. That can be fine for dry skin because the "residue" is mostly from the plant oils this contains. Those with oily, breakout-prone skin will likely not enjoy how this body wash makes their skin feel.Like all Dove Body Washes, this contains fragrance.
Go Fresh Rebalance Body Wash with NutriumMoisture provides a rebalance for the skin and mind that leaves you comfortably refreshed. Hydrating freshness leaves skin blissfully restored with the harmonious scents of succulent plum and pure sakura blossom.
Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate, Lauric Acid, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Stearic Acid, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Glycerin, Fragrance, Sodium Isethionate, Lauryl Alcohol, Tallow Acid or Palmitic Acid, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, DMDM Hydantoin, Methylisothiazolinone, Tetrasodium EDTA, Etidronic Acid, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, BHT, Blue 1 Lake, Red 33
Dove At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; available in every major drugstore and mass-market store; some very good body washes.
Weaknesses: The Beauty Bars are not as bad as true soaps, but all bar cleansers present problems for skin.
From its beginnings in the 1940s with its still-available original Beauty Bar, Dove has expanded and the curiously curtailed its selection of skin-care products to the point where their facial care offerings are back to nothing more than bar cleansers.
Although their Beauty Bars have their share of problems (such as containing drying ingredients and not rinsing well), they're better than traditional bar soap. However, if you can get past your propensity for bar cleansers, neighboring lines at the drugstore offer better, gentler, water soluble cleansers (the kind Dove has offered in the past).
Where Dove holds sway at the drugstore is with its vast selection of body washes. Although the formulas often differ only by fragrance, for the most part they are excellent, affordable options, especially for normal to dry skin. The body washes in their men's line aren't quite as elegant as those in the main line, and guys should know their skin will do just fine with Dove's regular body washes.
Note: All Dove products contain fragrance unless otherwise noted.

(WFRV-TV) - The Green Bay Packers announced the release of QB Graham Harrell, WR Alex Gillett, WR Omarious Hines, DT Gilbert Pena, WR Justin Wilson, and RB Angelo Pease Sunday. The team must get down to 75 players by Tuesday Afternoon.
The Packers returned to practice Sunday for the first time since their 17-10 loss to Seattle Friday in the third preseason contest. It was a short practice and contained mainly walk-through work and a special teams period.
Perhaps the biggest move of the day: Green Bay has signed a third kicker, rookie Zach Ramirez from Portland State. As a junior in 2011, Ramirez was named an FCS All-American by the AP, but he was limited to only 7 field goal attempts as a senior due to a knee injury. During Sunday's kicking competition Ramirez connected on 10 of 11 field goal attempts, only missing from 45 yards. Mason Crosby was also 10 for 11, and also missed a 45 yard attempt. Giorgio Tavecchio was 9 for 11 on field goal attempts, missing from 45 and 63 yards. Both Ramirez and Crosby connected on 63 yard field goals with a strong wind at their backs.
As far as injuries go: WR Jordy Nelson practiced for the first time since undergoing knee surgery, and could play Thursday against Kansas City. Safety Morgan Burnett and CB Casey Hayward both sat out of practice with hamstring injuries suffered vs. Seattle, and both will miss the final season preseason game. Brad Jones was able to do some of the walk-through work, and it seems his hamstring injury suffered Friday is less severe than Burnett and Hayward.
The Packers return to practice Monday at 11:30 at Ray Nitschke Field.

Fiddling with foreign objectsWednesday, November 14th, 2007
As part of a talk I did down at Kansai Open Forum in Osaka last week, I played around with ways to use the SVG foreignObject tag and came up with this quick header menu example (note: requires a FF3 build). The example shows two svg graphics, one for each language menu, with some rotated foreignObject elements enclosing HTML anchor tags. A bit silly since SVG has its own anchor tag but for those who feel more comfortable working with HTML layout it's an easy way to get interesting rotated layouts. Others like Mark Finkle have blogged about this before but I wanted to explore the types of situations where this might be useful.
Note: the Webkit folks have proposed some interesting additions to CSS to allow for transformations with which you wouldn't need SVG foreignObject's lay out elements like this.
P.S. Who knew that CSS stood for "Combat Service Support"?!? Oy vey…

Say Hello to Tracy Gruber…
Today we are introducing Tracy Gruber!
Hello! My name is Tracy and I have been crafting since I was a little girl. I started scrapbooking when I was in high school and card-making about 3 years ago. I am currently going to college for Graphic Design and work part-time at a local scrapbooking store. I have been published a couple of times and also have an Etsy shop where I sell handmade banners and cards. Paper-crafting is such an awesome hobby because I am able to preserve memories while expressing my creativity! When I'm not crafting, I enjoy spending time with my family, rollerblading playing tennis, and shopping. I am so excited to be a part of the Core'dinations design team and use the best card stock on the planet!
Make sure you check out Tracy's Blog HERE for more inspiration and keep reading to learn more about her layout today.
I love using bright colors on my layouts! I cut banners out of different colored Core'dinations cardstocks and sanded them for some added texture. I also used dies to cut out the hearts and flowers and sanded them as well. I thought the Core Tags would be a cool way to display all of my photos on the layout, I just had to trim the bottoms off of them a bit.
Very Pretty page. I love your color choices. The blue and teals
really make that photo pop. Welcome to the team Heather.
Today's giveaway is……a Brights Collection Pack!
Please note we will only be posting Monday through Friday. We will pick a random winner the following morning (or Monday if it is the weekend) to win a pack of Core'dinations Cardstock. The cardstock pack may vary due to availability. Winners must email email@example.com by June 7 to claim their prizes with the cardstock they won in the subject line. Please include address and phone number in the email.

DEC would outlaw hunting wild boars
ALBANY – Newly proposed regulations would prohibit hunting or trapping free-ranging Eurasian boars in New York, the state Department of Environmental Conservation announced recently.
The proposal is part of the DEC's effort to eradicate the invasive animal. The department has determined that letting the public hunt wild boars is not an effective means of getting rid of them. It can help spread their population because hunters may cause larger groups to disperse.
"Eurasian boars are a great threat to natural resources, agricultural interests, private property and public safety wherever they occur," DEC Commissioner Joe Martens said in a press release. "It's important that we do all in our power to ensure that this invasive species does not become established in the wild anywhere in New York state."
Eurasian boars were brought to North America centuries ago, and wild populations numbering in the millions now occur across much of the southern U.S.
In recent years, wild boar populations have been appearing in more northern states too, often as a result of escapes from enclosed shooting facilities that offer wild boar hunts.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed legislation on Oct. 21 which immediately prohibited importing, breeding or introducing to the wild any Eurasian boars in New York. The law also prohibits the possession, sale, transport or marketing of live Eurasian boars as of Sept. 1, 2015.
However, there are already small numbers of Eurasian boars on the landscape in New York. Since 2000, they have been reported in many counties across the state, as far north as Clinton County. Breeding in the wild has been confirmed in at least six counties: Tioga, Cortland, Onondaga, Clinton, Sullivan and Delaware.
DEC is working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services program to remove any Eurasian boars that are reported in New York, and to date, more than 150 animals have been captured and destroyed. However, eradication is expensive, time consuming and requires a great deal of manpower.
Hunters pursuing wild boars in locations where baited traps have been established by DEC or USDA can undermine these costly and labor-intensive capture efforts. Shooting may remove one or two animals, but the rest of the sounder scatters and rarely comes back together as a group, thereby hampering eradication efforts. In addition to prohibiting take of free-ranging swine by hunters, the proposed regulation would prohibit anyone from disturbing traps set for wild boars or otherwise interfering with Eurasian boar eradication activities.
Hunting wild boar can be done at hunting preserves until 2015.
The proposed regulations provide exceptions for state and federal wildlife agencies, law-enforcement agencies and others authorized by DEC to kill Eurasian boars to alleviate nuisances, property damage or threats to public health or welfare.
Martens encouraged anyone who observes a Eurasian boar, dead or alive, in the wild in New York to report it as soon as possible to the nearest DEC regional wildlife office or to email@example.com; include "Feral Swine" in the subject line. Since it is sometimes difficult to distinguish a domestic pig, pot-bellied pig or Eurasian boar based solely on a description, reporting of all feral swine is encouraged. The DEC asks people to report the number of animals seen, whether any of them were piglets, the date and the exact location: county, town, distance and direction from an intersection, nearest landmark, etc. Photographs of feral swine are greatly appreciated.
Text of the proposed regulation was published in the New York State Register on Dec. 11. The full text of the regulation change and instructions for submitting comments can be found at www.dec.ny.gov/regulations/34113.html. Comments on the proposed regulations can be sent by email to firstname.lastname@example.com or mailed to Kelly Stang, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, Division of Fish, Wildlife and Marine Resources, 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233-4754. Hard copies of the full text may be requested from the same address listed above.
Public comments on the proposed regulations will be accepted until Jan. 25.

Interesting news today on the interoperability front. (Yes, I know I am obsessed) In a news conference IBM and Juniper Networks jointly demonstrated what they describe as a means of seamlessly migrating workloads over private and public clouds enabling enterprises' existing data centers to seamlessly interact with the public Internet.
Also interesting is the news that IBM has created a new group called the Enterprise Initiative Group, which will focus on accelerating adoption of the cloud related technology. (Sounds like a great CCIF sponsor) The unit will be headed by Erich Clementi as general manager and he will report directly to IBM CEO Sam Palmisano.
What I find most telling about this news is the technical approach that IBM and Juniper have chosen to go with. In the announcement they outlined a plan to use a hardware based virtual private lan which allows any-to-any (multipoint) connectivity in conjunction to a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) system. In case you're unfamiliar with MPLS, it is a protocol agnostic, data-carrying mechanism.
I did a little further digging into what MPLS is, and from what I can tell it allows data packets to assign labels as a kind of packet meta-data descriptor enabling packet-forwarding decisions to be made solely on the contents of this label, without the need to examine the packet itself.
With in this vision for a virtual private cloud was a core component of a virtual private network (VPN) or a virtual LAN (Vlan) in which the links between nodes are encrypted and carried by virtual switches. MPLS may be an ideal basis for this concept. Another reason for the use of MPLS within the context of a VPC is in its ability to virtualize the entire network stack giving it particular characteristics & appearance that match the demands as well as requirements of a given application regardless of where it's deployed.
Unfortunately there are very few implementations MPLS except for a few high end networking devices. If Juniper and IBM are serious about this plan, they will need to create something capable of running both on traditional hardware as well as in virtual machines. I should also note that Juniper unveiled its new MPLS based line of the technology late last year under their "E-series Broadband Service Routing Platforms" brand.
This new announcement clearly pits IBM against Cisco. As the propagation of cloud computing protocols & models continues, there has never been a better time to address the needs of an interoperable cloud ecosystem. I'd like to personally welcome IBM and Juniper to the party.

Written by Ursula Ehrhardt
A similar version appeared in The Daily Times
Princess Anne.--Nina I. Buxenbaum and Zoë Charlton both address questions of identity, femininity and race in the exhibition, "Fair and Lovely," on view at the Mosely Gallery, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, through March 15.
The artists, who are African-American (Buxenbaum also identifies herself as bi-racial), consider different aspects of these issues. Buxenbaum is more concerned in exploring questions of personal identity, especially the relationship of her bi-racial self to her black self (or to the black side of herself most visible to others).
To do so, she uses the image of the "Topsy-Turvey" doll, which originated in the antebellum South. The doll wears a long skirt and is reversible, with a different head and upper body at each end. Originally each end represented a different race and identity (such as white mistress and black slave), while the other end remained hidden beneath the skirt.
Buxenbaum shows both ends of the "Topsy-Turvy" doll: One end is bi-racial and the other end is black. These "dueling images," as Buxenbaum describes them, also address "some of the complexities of identity that go beyond race." In "Conversation," for example, Buxenbaum's two selves gaze intently at one another in an attitude of confrontation or mutual questioning; whereas in "Playing" the bi-racial self aggressively pulls apart the black self's intricately braided hair-do. "Stranglehold" is even more aggressive, showing the bi-racial self attacking the black self.
In "The Real Me?" the Topsy-Turvy dual self is positioned under a flowering tree in early spring. Both women—or selves—wear headscarves, perhaps a sign of their mutual accommodation. The bi-racial self seems more relaxed and at ease, while the black self reaches out to her in a gesture signaling either play or disruption.
Other Topsy-Turvy images, such as the large charcoal drawing, "Opening," depict two different women, perhaps a reference to the idea that we develop our identity in relation to "others." The image also recalls Walt Whitman's famous line, "I am large, I contain multitudes," from the poem, "Song of Myself."
Several of Buxenbaum's drawings show two different women—one white and one black—reaching out and gently touching each other's hair in a gesture that conveys mutual appreciation, acceptance, and desire for understanding and reconciliation.
Zoë Charlton's works address questions of race in relation to concepts of femininity, beauty and skin color. An example is her video, titled "R60," which depicts a strong-bodied black woman with short-cropped hair who seems to stand for black people in general.
We see her stepping into a bathtub and then vigorously scrubbing herself, as if trying to remove a stain. As we watch, the bath water becomes ever darker. Only after seeing the video a second time do we realize that the woman left a dark paint smudge—the same color as her skin—on the tub's edge as she eased herself into it; and that the bath water was, in fact, colored by this dark paint.
The video thus poses a paradox, suggesting that black skin color is a superficial trait that, like paint, can be disregarded or 'washed away;' even as it persists, profoundly affecting how one is seen and treated in the larger white culture.
Charlton also addresses skin color in her representations of well-dressed women who resemble fashion plates (or paper dolls) in her series, "we'll have a black one one day." The artist has carefully rendered the women's clothing, but not their skin, which is painted in a deliberately crude manner.
Is Charlton implying that these women are wearing 'borrowed' clothes and can never achieve the white cultural ideal of beauty promoted by the fashion plates? Or is she suggesting that black women can only attain this ideal by acting or becoming 'white' in all but skin color (which they can't change)?
This is a challenging, thought-provoking exhibition that raises important questions about race and identity. To learn more, take the opportunity to meet the artists at a reception in their honor at the Mosely Gallery, February 23, from 6 to 8 p.m.
Where: Mosely Gallery, Arts and Technologies Center, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Princess Anne
When: Through March 15
Hours: 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday
Reception with the artists: 4-6 p.m. Thursday
Call: 410-651-7770

Test Results as of 8/3/00
To date, 356 crows have been accepted for testing by the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services' Public Health and Environmental Laboratory. A total of 15 crows -- 10 found in Bergen, 2 in Middlesex, 2 in Union and 1 in Hudson Counties -- have tested positive for the presence of the WNV. At least one crow sample has been submitted from all 21 New Jersey counties.
A cockatiel, found in Monmouth County on July 3 and taken to a veterinary hospital on Staten Island July 5, has tested positive for the presence of the WNV. It is important to note that the cockatiel was found in the wild, apparently abandoned by, or escaped from its owner and existed out of doors for an undetermined period of time. When found, the bird seemed to be in good condition, but became ill approximately 5 days later and died on July 16. Given the limited information available, it is not possible to determine where or when it became infected with WNV.
543 blood samples taken from sentinel chicken flocks placed in all 21 counties and 465 mosquito pools collected in every county, have all tested negative for WNV.
Blood and/or spinal fluid samples from more than 30 residents have been or are in the process of being examined using either the St. Louis Encephalitis (SLE) screening test or a test for WNV itself. The SLE test can be conducted by private laboratories for residents with conditions that do not fully meet established WNV testing criteria. Since SLE and WNV are closely related viruses, a WNV case will most likely react to a SLE test. All results reported to date have been negative.

On Thursday, March 20, Kentucky Harvest Southeast presented Union College with the Golden Can Trophy in recognition of its students, faculty and staff who raised 15,284 pounds of food — equaling 30,568 meals — for needy families in Eastern Kentucky. Union beat out University of the Cumberland for the third year in a row to earn this honor.
The Pursuit of the Golden Can competition is a collegiate contest that takes place among several Eastern Kentucky schools from Oct. 15 to Nov. 15 each year, in which the colleges battle, pound for pound, to collect food for needy families during the holiday season. The winner brings home a commemorative trophy made from a food can. The Golden Can trophy is passed from school to school each year, denoting the school that raised the most food for that year. The customary January awards presentation had to be delayed because of weather.
"Since we started the Golden Can contest, we have had other college campuses participate in this program, but this past year it came down to Union College and the University of the Cumberlands," said Kentucky Harvest Southeast Chairman, Jim Dorn. "The board of Kentucky Harvest especially wants to recognize the leadership of both of these academic institutions for their continued support of our program and their commitment to help fight hunger in our region, especially during this most recent, harsh winter."
"This annual food drive brings out the very best of our community spirit, allowing us to help feed the less fortunate while adding an exciting competitive twist," said Union College President Marcia Hawkins. "We are very proud to earn this special award for the third year in a row, having collected 4,795 pounds of food in 2011 and more than 10,000 pounds in our 2012 drive."
About Kentucky Harvest Southeast:
Kentucky Harvest Southeast is run by a volunteer board of directors who have a passion for providing nutritional food to families and children by locating, organizing and networking with individuals and groups who can provide food to those in need food in a timely manner. The organization's goal is to change lives so individuals can learn, grow and succeed for the betterment of our communities. Since 2008, Kentucky Harvest Southeast has distributed more than 800,000 pounds of Food, representing 1,600,000 meals, to Southeastern Kentucky with no administrative costs or cost to recipients.

Brenda FincherI want to say it's I35 but can't remember. I'm one of those that relies on landmarks to get me around. When we go home to the Dallas area, the traffic just freaks me out. I'm always the navigator from my live maps print outs. I have never gotten us lost yet but I can't remember the names of freeway, roads, etc... We have family in the Dallas, Ft. Worth, Plano and Bowie area. Once I get to the ranch in Bowie I can breath because other wise I've been holding my breath. Seems funny going to High School in San Antonio I drove all over the place and never blinked. Must be my "maturity" that makes me more nervous. Lol.
I decided I need to give a hint. It's named after a recent preisdent.

Yay! Mrs Marilyn you got it! Isn't it something? When we flew over it, I got the picture. Then we drove thru it twice...
What was funny was we were picked up at the Airport (Love Field) by an Austrailian and a guy from Dubai. They were in a rental car and had programmed where the airport was, and then how to get back to our overnight roughin' it house. But the next morning, in a truck without GPS, we were nearly lost. But my "Droid" phone has GPS, and I learned how to use it fast!
It even helped us on Monday when the Taxi driver didn't know where the "Justin Boot Outlet" was. I had to get new boots in Texas didn't I? Maybe I didn't have to get 2 pairs, but who knew I'd find a place with such wonderful inlaid boots?

I've hunted wild ducks, grouse, pheasants and other game birds with varying levels of enthusiasm for 40 years.

I must admit I've been treated royally during my stay here at Camp Ryabaga, above the Arctic Circle. In fact, I can't remember when I've been so pampered so far from home.
