in South Carolina
We make handmade
soap to help support our nonprofit farm. We started
making handmade soap with the hope that the sales of
our soap will support our farm without having to solicit
donations. Soap for Hope as we sometimes call it.
We invite you to visit our page for the soap, Backwoods
Country Soap, I hope you will share our soap page
with your friends and family.
Thank you for your most valuable time
and attention, Farmer Jim.
When you donate to Lighthouse
Food Farm, you are doing more than helping provide food.
You are sending hope and joy to hard working families
that are struggling with the difficult decision of whether
to pay the bills or pay for groceries. Unfortunately
bad things happen to good people. We need your help
to give these parents and children a ray of hope.
Lighthouse Food Farm
has been focused on upper region of South Carolina.
Because of the Great need we have expanded our ideals
and work across many different communities in America.
We grow fresh vegetables
and fruits to donate to help feed hungry Americans.
All vegetables and fruits are organically grown. We
raise a spring crop of the normal spring vegetables
and during the winter we grow greens like Turnip Greens,
Collards, Curly Mustard and Kale. We donate the fresh
vegetables and fruit to soup kitchens, food banks, food
shelves and to people that have fallen through the cracks
of our system.
We are continuing to
expand our farms as the need for what we do is expanding
as well. We expand our crops in the event of finding
a good deal in property to purchase or if someone is
willing to donate the use of their land for us to use.
Our emphasis and attention
has been focused on an outcry of distress in Hunger,
due to the excessive layoffs from the Job market.
We have dealt with the
Elderly, Shut-ins, displaced families, medically Indigent,
and those that are working, but having a difficult decision
of whether to pay the bills or pay for groceries.
Our great focus is toward
the specialized needs in surrounding Areas of immediate
Hunger that faces so many today. There isn't enough
money if just one person in the family is working; children
are not eating well with the common family. It takes
every penny when you have small babies to exist.
Have you ever looked
into the eyes of a hungry child and watched them when
a small amount of food was put before them? It will
make your heart sing with delight to know you have helped
that suffering to end.
We have looked on
these suffering issues for too long. Help us give them
Lighthouse Food Farm
wants to give Americans hope where there is no hope.
Lighthouse Food Farm
is a standalone Christian Agency and is depending upon
many Companies and Individuals like you to help with
this greatly needed work that serves so many.
Thank you in advance
for your consideration in this matter to Help End Hunger.
Lighthouse Food Farm
wants to do our part to give Hungry American familys
hope where there is no hope.
We donate 100% of the
all the crops that we grow to Soup Kitchens, elderly,
Shut-Ins and to individuals that we learn that need
help from the different local authorities, churches
and other agencys.
We are a Non-Profit
Organization, our 501(c)3 Tax-Exempt Status is in Progress.
This means your donations and contributions are Tax
Deductible Exemptions to the Lighthouse Food Farm with
501(c)3 status pending. Together we can continue to
Help Feed Hungry Americans and Homeless Americans. Your
generous donations and contributions are greatly appreciated.
We have had help from
many individuals, small businesses, local Farms, Garden
centers, Small and Large Corporations like: Wal-Mart,
Lowe's, Home Depot, Park's Seed, Dicksons Tractor, Local
Chicken Farms, Wilson's Processing, local grocery stores,
and people willing to allow us to borrow their equipment
when needed here at the Lighthouse Food Farm. There
have been many more individuals that don't live in our
area that donated to help us help others in need. This
doesn't begin to cover all who have donated time, expertise
or monetarily to help the Lighthouse Food Farm. Thank
you all for the Help that has made this Lighthouse Food
Farm a Great success.
exists not because there isnt enough
food to go around, but because many
people cant afford the food they
need. And even when people in the
U.S. cant afford food, they rarely
face starvation thanks to food stamps,
emergency food programs, school
meals, and other resources. But
there are many that slip through
the cracks of our system that desperately
need our help.
If you are looking
to help others in need, we are one
charity of many that really needs
your help. We would most graciously
appreciate any and all donations
you may give to help us continue
our food farm. Please read and view
all the information below to learn
more about what we do to Help Feed
Hungry Americans. We have grown
over the last five years and hope
to continue to advance what we can
do to help others. Unfortunately,
the need is growing much greater
with our economy in a downward spiral.
So why should you be
concerned? Our nations needy and food-insecure citizens
may get food, but they dont get nutritious or steady
amounts of food, which is detrimental to adults' ability
to work, children's ability to learn and seniors' ability
to stay healthy. And because money stretches the best
when its used to buy packaged, calorie-dense foods,
our nation faces obesity and health-related issues.
Thats why its everybodys problem, not just a problem
for those less fortunate.

food program to feed hungry americans with nutritious
organic grown fresh fruits and vegetables by continuing
to read the information below.
Did you know that just
one meal could stand between a family having a home
and being Homeless? Sometimes people have to choose
whether to eat or to have a shelter / home. Many families
could lose their home if they missed only one paycheck
/ payday. Working together, our efforts can Help Feed
Hungry Americans that are facing these issues.
Here is an answer to
some of your questions on why I do this. Without going
into a long story, my family has been where many Americans
are now. Some people graciously gave my family a Helping
Hand when we needed it the most, I'm just Paying it
I feel that God has
called me to do this because, good people have bad things
happening to them. I think that we should all care and
help all we can. It could be us in their situation at
any time in our lives. We would love to give as many
a Helping Hand as possible. I know we appeciated it
very much when we got a Helping Hand ourselves from
people who cared for my family.
Our plans will assure
that we can continue Helping Feed Homeless and Hungry

Permaculture Program
Why We Grow a Winter and Spring Crop
We have eighteen (18)
acres where we are able grow fruits and vegetables to
Help Feed Hungry Americans and Homeless Americans. While
taking care of the three acres we have at the main location,
I travel to our other 15 acres, to organize the planting
to insure that they are producing quality fruits and
Although hunger receives
a lot of attention during the holidays, hunger also
affects people every day of the year. In fact, hunger
is at it's peak during the summer when free school meals
are on hiatus.
Hunger has no place in
our country or our world. Yet, just this
week the number of people in America on
food stamps and people having to use the
Soup Kitchens has reached an all-time
high. Now more than ever, we must commit
to addressing this unacceptable issue.
Nobody should have to struggle to put
food on the table.
It is time for all Americans
to reevaluate its priorities and take a genuine stance
on solving the issue of hunger in the United States.
With one in six Americans at risk of hunger, it is unconceivable
that our country sends billions of dollars to foreign
nations. Let's take the proven scalable solutions put
forward by Share Our Strength, Feeding America, and
other hunger strategy nonprofits, and fund them to the
point where child hunger and hungry Americans in America
is a thing of the past.
Food banks across the
United States reported shortages of food donations for
hungry families. As the winter months continue, let
us fight with the kind and generous souls who serve
our food banks and the hungry everywhere to end our
food crisis!
You can do more than
just give food and money. A helping hand with the effort
is needed to operate and manage a food bank. This help
is often welcome and greatly appreciated!
Help is needed right
now! Please volunteer or contribute to your local food

|Montgomery County Circuit Court
North Tower 1st floor, Rm 1260
|(240) 777-9440
|Hours of Operation:
|8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
The Criminal Department of Montgomery County Circuit Court Clerk's Office handles a variety of criminal cases. In addition, the Criminal Department performs many duties which include filing and docketing case pleadings, issuing summonses, subpoenas, warrants, body attachments, and writs. Bonds are issued upon order of court to secure defendant's presence at court hearings.
All files and information pertaining to criminal cases are public record and can be accessed in person at the Criminal Office. Cases that have been sealed cannot be accessed by the public without an order from a judge.
- Download the Interpreter Request Form (English and Spanish) and file the completed form at the Department where your case was filed at least thirty (30) days before the date of the scheduled trial or hearing for which you requested the interpreter service.
Criminal Cases Handled in the Circuit Court in Maryland
Cases "originating" in the Circuit Court
Cases involving criminal and incarcerable traffic offenses begin by any of the following 4 ways:
- A warrantless arrest by a police officer pursuant to Sections 2-202 through 2-206 of the Maryland Criminal Procedure Article.
- An arrest pursuant to a warrant issued by a District Court Commissioner based on a sworn Statement of Charges (complaint) by a police officer or other individual alleging a criminal offense for which the Commissioner finds probable cause that the offense occurred. The Commissioner typically issues a summons ordering the defendant (accused) to appear in court in most minor cases.
- An Information filed either in the District Court or the Circuit Court by the Office of the State's Attorney. The court determines whether to issue a summons or an arrest warrant based on the State's Attorney's Office request.
- A citation written by a law enforcement or peace officer alleging an offense.
Click here for the on-line Maryland Laws available from the Maryland State Law Library.
The State's Attorney's Office reviews felony and serious misdemeanor cases to determine whether they should be handled in the Circuit Court or kept in the District Court. For the latter cases, the State's Attorney's Office presents them to the Grand Jury for Indictment or files an Information – the first paper filed in criminal prosecution stating the crime for which the defendant is accused – to initiate the criminal proceeding. These cases are generally called cases "originating" in the Circuit Court and are subject to the statutory 180-day speedy trial constraints. Typical Circuit Court criminal cases include all felony charges with the exception of some felony theft charges that may be heard in the District Court.
District Court Appeals and Instant Jury-Demands
The other types of criminal cases handled by the Circuit Court are those that are typically handled in the District Court but move to the Circuit Court. This occurs when a defendant demands a jury trial or when a defendant appeals a sentence received in a District Court proceeding, including sentences imposed for violation of probation.
The Clerk's Office employees may not give legal advice nor tell you what to say in your pleadings.
Basic Steps in Criminal Proceedings
All criminal cases are initiated by the State's Attorney's Office either through Grand Jury Indictment or filing of an Information. A summons is then issued with a scheduling order to the defendant to notify that he or she has been charged and to appear in court on a specified date. A warrant may also be issued to hold the defendant in custody. At the defendant's first appearance in court for preliminary inquiry, he or she is informed of the right to have counsel and the importance of the assistance of counsel, as well as the nature of the charges against the defendant. While court proceedings are pre-scheduled according to the Court Criminal Differentiated Case Management Plan when the case is filed, the schedule can be modified at the status conference where the State's Attorney's Office and defense counsel negotiate the date for hearings and the trial. Prior to the status conference, discovery – disclosure of information to be submitted to the court at trial – and filing of pretrial motions – requests to the court to suppress the evidence and/or statements taken from the defendant at the time of the arrest, to postpone scheduled proceeding(s), to transfer the case to Juvenile Court, etc., – must be completed. Based on the information provided during discovery, the defendant may decide to plead guilty, and the parties may reach an agreement as to the number of charges to be brought against the defendant and/or the sentence(s) to be imposed on him or her. These matters are formalized or held at the disposition hearing where the presiding judge takes the plea and sentence(s) based on the agreement reached by the State's Attorney and defense counsel. However, when the defendant does not plead guilty, the case goes to trial. Prior to the trial, the court holds a motions hearing to resolve any outstanding motions. At the trial, the presiding judge or a jury determines whether the defendant is guilty of the alleged crime beyond reasonable doubt based on the evidence presented before the court. If a defendant has been found guilty, he/she may file for an appeal to the Court of Special Appeals. If qualified, a defendant may also apply for an expungement of his/her record(s).
Expungement of Records
Expungement is the removal of records from public inspection. In Maryland, qualifying records may be expunged from court files, as well as from Motor Vehicle Administration files and police files. Please see Maryland Rules for what constitutes "qualifying" court records, motor vehicle files and police files.
Expungement filing fee: $30.00 for most dispositions
Additional information regarding expungement of records

Fingerprinting for Background Checks
The Criminal Department does not offer fingerprinting services for background checks. For additional information and request for fingerprinting services, contact Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services, Fingerprinting Services/Fingerprinting Courses - Phone: 410-764-4501, 1-888-795-0011 (toll free).
Maryland Judiciary Case Search
You can view case records of Montgomery County Circuit Court and other jurisdictions in the State of Maryland on-line at Maryland Judiciary Case Search.
An appeal is a proceeding in which a party to the case disagrees with the Circuit Court judge's ruling and wants the case to be heard in a higher court. The appeal has to be made within 30 days after the final judgment is entered. The appeal is noted in the Circuit Court to the Court of Special Appeals if a defendant in a criminal case or either party in a civil or family law case does not agree with the court decision.
Once an appeal is filed with the Appeals Clerk at the Circuit Court (located in the court's Civil and Family Law window), all necessary original papers, including the original transcript (to be provided by the person filing the appeal) are sent to the Court of Special Appeals by the deadline provided in the order from the Court of Special Appeals.
Filing Fees: $110.00 (cash, money order, or check payable to the "Clerk of Court"). No credit cards accepted.
Appeals filed from the District Court to the Circuit Court
After the Circuit Court decision, if a party wishes to appeal the second time, a petition for a writ of certiorari must be filed with the Court of Appeals in Annapolis in a timely manner.

Selected Speeches
Speech Video
At the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Dinner
New York, US
21 September 2006
President Clinton,
My friends,
Thank you, and thank you all for your warm welcome. It's a pleasure to be with you this evening. Rania and I are honoured to participate once again in this remarkable world gathering.If I may, I'd also like to take this occasion to wish President Clinton the best on his recent milestone, 60th birthday.
In my part of the world, there's an old saying that grey hair is the torch of wisdom. If that's the case, President Clinton, your wisdom is lighting the world.
We are all grateful for the Clinton Global Initiative; now in its second year. Its very name puts the focus on two critical aspects of leadership today.
One is initiative: the will to take those first, often difficult steps. To move past today's limits and crises, and initiate positive change. To act, and act boldly.
The second is the global context. The recognition that, just as we share the future, we share the right and the responsibility to shape that future.
Gathered in this room are leaders from every continent. And each one of us has a duty and deep desire to serve our people - as I seek to serve Jordan and the Arab Nation. But today, a critical part of our duty to our own nations is to reach out to others, in international cooperation and respect.
The fact is, the 21st century world has the capacity to provide better lives for billions of people. The tools and knowledge exist to reach developing economies and societies and expand well being significantly. And that would be a win-win process for all sides.
But to succeed, we must take our dialogue to a new level, the level of action. People, especially young people, need to see tangible results. Three key areas need our urgent attention: development, global understanding, and conflict resolution. Tonight I'd like to say a brief word about each.
Sustainable development is a virtuous cycle: it both creates, and benefits from, economic stability and growth. Starting the cycle requires global cooperation, and often, tough choices. Developed nations must choose to make a commitment: to urgently-needed debt relief, to increased direct assistance, and to fairer trade policies; we in the developing world must choose good governance and sound economic measures.
All this suggests a framework for global development as well; a framework of partnerships.
And this brings me to the second area for our urgent attention: the need for global understanding and respect.
The vast majority of people around the world reject extremism. But more needs to be done to fight stereotypes and disrespect. That means teaching our young people the common bonds of our religions and civilisations.
Such efforts are under way across the Muslim world. Almost two years ago, Jordan released the Amman Message. It articulates Muslim values of tolerance, compassion, and respect for others.
But the road to moderation and understanding is not for us alone. All faiths, all cultures, have a responsibility to advance the global respect on which our future depends.
My friends,
In building trust, dialogue - however important - is no substitute for action. We must live up to our commitment to justice and peace. This brings me to the subject of conflict resolution. And no where is it more important than in my region, the Middle East.
President Clinton, you once said that the road to peace is no easier and in many ways it is harder than the road to war. Yet the road to peace was one that you and my father King Hussein walked, and that we must walk today. Continued conflict is detrimental to the future of the region. Recent crises demonstrate the urgency of ending the violence and destruction. It is time for a lasting, just solution, one that addresses the central problem: the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
The Arab Peace Initiative, first articulated in 2002, provides an effective basis for peace. Now, as an international community, we need to build a partnership of action, to encourage and support a return to negotiations and keep the parties moving towards results. And we must act now. With every day of delay, more lives are lost and more futures destroyed.
My friends,
The global challenges are very real. But you who are achievers, know better than most, that what we envision, we can make happen. And together, here, you can create a global vision: a world of genuine peace in which all share the promise of our century. In partnership, I believe we will succeed.
Thank you very much.

As a child, I had to sit on the sidelines as my friends played on neighborhood playgrounds that were not designed for wheelchair users. In those days, it probably never crossed the minds of playground designers that children like me were excluded. We were excluded, and more importantly, the problem continues for millions of children today.
The "right to play" is a universal human right enumerated in Article 24 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The right to play is the right to rest and leisure, and with it the right to engage in recreational activities. It is important to recognize that play environments often do not sufficiently take people with disabilities into consideration in their design. The onus is often on parents to push for inclusive play.
I was therefore pleased to speak at the OCAD University in Toronto, Canada, on January 19 as part of the Faculty of Design speaker series. My talk, "Changing Society: The Power of Inclusive Thinking" was presented in conjunction with the Faculty of Design's annual Design Competition, which brings together interdisciplinary teams of students who must present innovative solutions to real-world design challenges. My remarks focused on the importance of the designer in the progress toward social inclusion -- and equality.
Drawing from personal experience, I spoke about fighting for my own right to inclusion, both as a child and an adult. It's not just about ensuring that design takes into account the needs of children. The right to rest and leisure is important to people throughout their lifetime. It is equally important to those who acquire disabilities later in life as to people with disabilities who are aging. Facilitating enjoyment of the right to rest and leisure by persons with disabilities should be seen less as a reasonable accommodation and more as an aspect of universal design.
It's not just about accessibility to physical play spaces. It is also important that play spaces people access through technology, like video games or computer-based word games, be accessible to all. As the world moves toward knowledge-based economies and technological skills put people at an advantage for employment, the development of inclusive technologies for play, learning, and work is essential. Technology also empowers communities. If large swaths of the disability community -- who are often poor and less educated -- do not have access to technology, they have less capacity to advocate for themselves and to contribute as members of civil society.
As countries move forward to address inclusion, it is essential to look at the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and in turn to adopt uniform policies that have strong standards applied widely. There should be a holistic approach to avoiding and removing barriers to the enjoyment of this right and others.
Just as I encouraged participants to consult with people with disabilities to understand their needs, I encourage government leaders, architects, and members of civil society to do the same. As we continue to work toward more inclusive societies, we must pay attention to what societies need to ensure equal enjoyment of the right to play by children, youths, and adults with disabilities, especially in the area of technology. People with disabilities should always be consulted as the end users of such designs. Remember, "Nothing about Us without Us."

It is very impressed "Nothing about Us without Us".
Thanks, Noh

kids should stop playing with finance and economy
Peter D. in Australia writes:
Uniform policy on inclusion would make a world wide difference for sure. Unfortunately, the policy cannot always govern attitude and the responsibility that people must adopt to adapt and modify practices to ensure inclusion becomes a reality.

I went last year and had a pretty good time with it. Going again this year. Caught part of Guy Fieri's show last year and it wasn't much, so I'm hoping to see Alton Brown this afternoon. Good chance to sample a bunch of snack/appetizer stuff, and I'm hoping to make it to the beer and wine sampling areas today as well.
I love IX Center shows. Growing up in that area, I've gotten to see tons of cool events there. Sucks they're probably going to gouge me for $25-$30 a ticket plus $8 to park, but you only live once, right?

Paul McCartney and Heather Mills McCartney Launch the Adopt-A-Minefield Auction
NEW YORK, Sept. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Paul McCartney and Heather Mills
McCartney are excited to announce the launch of the "Adopt-A-Minefield Charity Auction," one of the most anticipated charitable events of the year! Paul and Heather's ultra-elite and ultra-unique friends have generously donated amazing experiences, fabulous trips and timeless memorabilia to benefit this important cause.
The auction goes live September 21st and will feature musical icons such as Ringo Starr, Aerosmith, Kid Rock, Tom Petty, Sting, Jimmy Buffet, Coldplay, Norah Jones, B.B. King and Shania Twain. Some of our Hollywood mega-stars include Emmy winner Sarah Jessica Parker, Emmy nominated Steve Buscemi, Aidan Quinn, Orlando Bloom, Nicole Kidman, John Travolta, Naomi Watts, and comedic geniuses Ellen DeGeneres and Ray Romano. You'll also find fabulous fashion designers such as Nanette Lepore and oh-so-cool fashion consultant to the stars, Phillip Bloch, as well as some delectable Chefs, such as the renowned Craig Shelton. Their support has been crucial, and so is yours; visit http://www.charityfolks.com so that you too can bid to give!
Charity Folks, the leading online charity auction venue, was enlisted to
conduct the Paul and Heather McCartney Adopt-A-Minefield Auction. Driven by the belief that amazing things happen when people get the resources they need, Charity Folks uses technology to help charities and organizations raise the money they need to accomplish their mission.
Adopt-A-Minefield(R) is a program of the United Nations Association of the USA, which engages individuals, community groups, and businesses in the United Nations effort to resolve the global landmine crisis. The Campaign helps to save lives by raising funds for mine clearance and survivor assistance and by raising awareness about the landmine problem. The idea behind Adopt-A-Minefield is both powerful and simple. Designed to move beyond the political and policy debates typically associated with banning the use of landmines, the Campaign provides a practical solution to the tens of millions of mines that contaminate the world and to the countless survivors of landmine accidents.
All proceeds go to the 501(c)(3) Adopt-A-Minefield/UNA-USA Organization.

In short: A fantastic event with bad weather!In full: I must say that this was a fantastic event, unfortunately the bad weather made the run very hard work. but that was out of the control of those who organized the event. The marshaling was unbelievable in the foul conditions and the addition of the relay made for a great atmosphere, and if you lifted your head up at looked around some of the scenery outside of luton was very pleasant. well done to Dunstable road runners & Stopsley striders For a great Day, Thank You. Date of review: December 3, 2007
In short: Not a great visual course and 3 laps is always mentallt tough but you don't enter marathons unless you like a challenge and this gets you on several fronts - including weather which seems to be an annual factorIn full: Marshalls and police were fantastic - one was clearly bored and doing mud sliding! All vrey encouraging especially the lady by the woody bit trying to convince us it was sunny and nice. This is undulating but no tough hills and well watered so a good 1st marathon for those who are unsure about their distance capability - it really is easier in the cold than the hot weather - I set a personal best yesterday. A definite favourite for being what a marathon should be TOUGH - physically and mentally - if you want an easy one go to Stratford.Date of review: December 3, 2007
In short: Organisation 1st classIn full: Even though the weather was against us, it was still a great race to run, marshalls was fantastic, water stations were spot on which made me run a great time.Thanks againDate of review: December 3, 2007
In short: Not the most exciting but i still enjoyed itIn full: Ok, its not the most stunning place to run on earth, but it was ok. Good organisation, a little thin on support and as such lacked a little atmosphere. Weather was awful so it would have been really hard for a marathon as the 3 laps would have become a real ball acheDate of review: December 3, 2007
In short: The race marshalls were fantastic!!In full: It was a 'special run' for me as I'd set myself a challenge to do one marathon a month in 2007. Luton was the 12th. of 12! The weather was fowl and the three lap course was mentally tough, but I have to praise the organisers for putting on such a well-run event. The marshalls,(incl the police), were cheery and incredibley supportive of us runners. They deserved the biggest appaulse of the day and I'd like to say a big 'thankyou' to them all!Date of review: December 3, 2007
In short: Lovely Day Dontcha knowIn full: 2nd time - this year only in Relay. the worst conditions I ever raced in. Not for faint hearted - all the bad bits make this fun - although only after you have dried out. Actually felt for the Marshalls - 5 -6 hours getting battered. thanks kids!! Low light - wasting a pound on evil chips from burger van. *hurls*Date of review: December 3, 2007
In short: Supportive relay runners and marshallsIn full: The marshalls and water station attendants were amazing, but there were too many uphill sections. I thought the relay runners who gave encouragement (as they shot passed!) was really nice. I would have to train seriously before contemplating another Luton marathon.Date of review: December 3, 2007

Sports news from the Pollock, SD area.
Posted 2/04/13 (Mon)
The Tigers had to hold off a fourth quarter surge by the Falcons to pull off another win Saturday night, Feb. 2 in Mobridge. Free throw shooting down the stretch helped the Tigers seal their, 70-62, win.
M-P held the early lead in the match up on the strength of their inside game but Todd County grabbed a slim lead several times during mid quarter action. The Tigers closed out the quarter with a six point run that put them up five, 15-10.
The Tigers kept their offense on track with another quick three buckets to open the second quarter but then they went quiet. Over the next three minutes they scored only once. Todd County on the other hand warmed up at least from the charity stripe. They went seven of seven and closed to within six, 25-19. After the exchange of a couple of buckets M-P got a free shot and basket to go back up seven. Todd County answered with a free shot and bucket of their own late to pull back within four. M-P sank a three to end the half and led, 33-26.
M-P pulled away by 12 as the second half opened, but Todd County turned the tide three minutes in. They went on an eight point run that included two treys and were within four. After a drought of almost 1:30, the Tigers finally scored again at 3:40. They sandwiched a couple more buckets between a couple of turn overs. Todd County got a bucket and three more from the charity stripe. A trey by M-P but them up seven late. The Falcons answered with two quick baskets but once again the Tigers got the last bucket of the quarter and it put them up five, 51-46.
Todd County controlled the tempo of the game as the final quarter opened. They held the Tigers scoreless for two and half minutes while putting up six of their own and taking the lead, 52-51. With 5:20 to go, M-P finally scored with a couple of free shots following a TO by the Falcons. They got another bucket off another TO to lead, 55-52. Todd County tied the game back up at, 57-57 with three minutes to go. The Tigers offense was tested at the line at that point and they went five of six while giving up nothing to the Falcons. With just over a minute to go M-P got a bucket and Todd County drilled a trey to pull back within four, 64-60. The Tigers were again tested at the line in the closing seconds. They finished out the game by going six of eight and giving up just a bucket to come away with an eight point win, 70-62.

Notebook: Glauber, Sanchez, Duka And More
The Columbus Dispatch - January 22, 2013 07:17 PM
When it comes to new Crew signee Glauber, technical director Brian Bliss said what you see is what you get.
"He's a natural left-footer," Bliss said. "He's very combative in the air. Good pace for his size. He's a guy that you know he relishes the idea of defending. You can see that when he defends."< /p>
Glauber comes to the Crew after making 46 appearances from 2010-13 for with Romanian First Division team Rapid Bucharest. Before that, he made one appearance for Manchester City during the 2008-09 season and three seasons with FC Nurnberg of the German Bundesliga.
Bliss confirmed that Glauber was sidelined by an injury with Nurnberg that cost him much of his second season. He also had an injury while playing for Rapid Bucharest, although Bliss said he played in the final 17 games of the past season.
He is somewhat of a cult hero among Manchester City fans, as this column points out.
"Our guys told us that," Bliss said. "I was surprised because he only played one game there. He never really saw the field, so how he became a cult figure I don't know, but if we're associated with Man City in that regard it can't be a bad thing."
Glauber should slot in next to Chad Marshall as a central defender, although head coach Robert Warzycha cautioned against putting any pairings down in pen.
"It's going to give us some options," he said. "Last year we plugged Chad as our starting central defender but he missed a lot of games. It's difficult to pair him up with somebody or pair him with Josh Williams or Danny O'Rourke. All of these guys are in the mix. We'll go to Florida and figure out who needs to be on the field."
Any further Crew signings – particularly of the international variety – are likely to not be defenders.
"You don't want to be bringing more guys in if you don't think they're going to be a starter because then you've got that money on the bench," Bliss said. "If we're looking to bring other guys in, especially foreign guys, they've got to be guys you're counting on to start. Seeing as how Milo is departing, we're probably looking for something there to give (Tony) Tchani a run for his money."< /p>
Duka Deal
Warzycha said the Crew hopes to have the much-debated Dilly Duka trade finalized soon.
"I'm hoping before the end of the week that we're going to have it done," he said.
I asked Warzycha for his thoughts on the departing Duka, who is clearly talented but did not produce like expected last season.
"It is what it is," the coach said. "He's a talented player but obviously having only two assists all season, that says everything about it. He needs to find an environment where he can produce more. Hopefully the team he's going to go next, he's going to do it because he didn't do it for us for whatever reason."
Crew Academy Products
After signing two homegrown players this offseason, the Crew came up short in its efforts to land a third when Matt Wiet opted to stay at UCLA to finish his schooling. Bliss said the club will revisit with Wiet and his agent this summer once school is out.
"I thought we had a legitimate chance to bring him in, otherwise I don't think we would have offered him something," he said. "He's working on a pre-med degree and wants to be a doctor, so you can't begrudge him the fact that he's got two quarters at UCLA that he wants to make sure he gets all the credits he needs to get his degree. He's invested in his education and wants to see it through.
"Now, there's no guarantee there's going to be a roster spot or money to do something, so we'll play it by ear when we get there."
In addition, Bliss confirmed that the Crew did not offer a contract to Justin Luthy, who went undrafted. He could resurface on the Crew's radar soon, however.
"He's one of our guys and it might be worth it for us to pitch him a call and see if he'd like to get a look with our guys," Bliss said. "We weren't certainly going to sign him as a homegrown guy, but maybe now bringing him in makes more sense than automatically giving him that spot and guaranteeing him for the year. I think he was somebody we probably want to revisit at least with a phone call to see what his situation is."
Sanchez Rumors
The Crew has been linked to Argentinian defensive midfielder Matias Sanchez in recent days, and Warzycha confirmed that he is on the club's radar.
"Absolutely he's a possibility," the coach said. "I think he's a good player and he's one of the names that came out. We'll see what we can do."
However, Bliss said a deal is not imminent.
"There's no timetable," he said. "I think we're a ways off on that one just based on the discussions I've had in the last 7-10 days. We're talking with a couple of other guys as well at that position. I wouldn't say that that's imminent."
Supplemental Draft
Here's what Bliss had to say about each of the Crew's picks from today's draft:
Reed Matte, D, University of Alabama Birmingham – "We figured he'd be a (supplemental) pick. Looking at our roster and all that and knowing the kid a little bit, he plays in a decent conference. Based on what was in the draft and available at that position, probably we thought he was the best guy."
"We know he can play. He's a right back who can get forward. Just a really solid guy in terms of that position."
Bliss added that Matte was not someone the team considered taking in last week's SuperDraft.
Daniel Withrow, GK, Marshall – "Right now he is (our top third goalkeeper candidate). We're still going to have a couple of guys in camp who are non-college guys. We've only seen him a little bit, so we've got to hedge our bets and make sure we're looking at more than just one option. If we started the season today, he'd be the third goalkeeper."
The Crew will carry three goalkeepers this season.
Shawn Sloan, MF, High Point – "He's a kid from the Chicago area. He's a wide midfielder, decent speed, pretty feisty, real competitive. I saw him in the conference tournament this year and the kid caught my eye a little bit. No expectations in terms of making the roster, but based on what we saw from some of the other guys, we liked him a little bit more and we're going to throw him that opportunity to see if he can make the squad."
All three players will join the Crew by Friday, Bliss said.
Training Day No. 2
An overall shorter day of training than yesterday's first day was not lacking for intensity for the Crew.
On the indoor field at SuperKick in Lewis Center, players went through two five-minute games of 7v7 scrimmaging. Here's how the teams were divided up:
Green: Eddie Gaven, Tony Tchani, Federico Higuain, Tyson Wahl, Chad Marshall, Ryan Finley and Andy Gruenebaum
Orange: Ben Speas, Justin Meram, Eric Gehrig, Chad Barson, Kevan George and unknown trialist
Blue: Josh Williams, Aaron Schoenfeld, Ethan Finlay, Danny O'Rourke, Matt Lampson and two unknown trialists
Blue and Green played to a scoreless tie, as did Blue and Orange. The lone goal came courtesy of Meram, who gave Green a 1-0 win against Orange.
Higuain came up with an ankle injury after a hard challenge from George. He shook it off and continued to play, but he was one of several players to leave practice with various ice wraps. Higuain's was on his left knee.

Topic: Dynamic Cache Directory
I have a multisite app which uses request.domain to fetch appropriate content. It all works beautifully, except now I need to use page caching and the Rails cache is built around the idea of a single site. You can override the default like so:
config.action_controller.page_cache_directory = "#{Rails.public_path}/custom_site"
But that's not much help considering that I need multiple directories. Ideally my public folder would look like:
With each of those folders holding the relevant cache files for the corresponding site.
I've searched thoroughly through Rails API and dug around for plugins but so far haven't come across a solution
Any ideas?

WikipediaRead full entry
Patella pellucida
Patella pellucida, common name the blue-rayed limpet, is a species of small saltwater limpet, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Patellidae, the true limpets.[1][2]
Range of distribution[edit]
This limpet occurs off the eastern Atlantic coasts from Iceland and Norway, to Portugal. It is absent from the Baltic Sea, East Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Shell description[edit]
Up to 15 mm long when fully grown, this species is easily identified by its translucent amber shell with brilliant blue spots running in lines across the top of the shell.
The blue-rayed limpet lives primarily on Laminaria (kelp) but also on Fucus serratus on the lower shore, down to about 30 m.
Life habits[edit]
The larvae of this limpet species settle and metamorphose on the algal frond. Here it feeds on its host's tissue using its radula, leaving small depressions in the frond.
As the limpets grow larger, they move down the stipe of the seaweed towards the holdfast, where they establish themselves by excavating a depression. This can weaken the holdfast, eventually resulting in the seaweed being dislodged by storms. The seaweed is often washed ashore, with the blue-rayed limpets still in place.

This web site summarizes some rules and regulations of the University; in addition, students are responsible for reading the Code of Student Conduct [1] in The Student Handbook, which contains information about alcohol and drugs, additional policies, and other important information about student rights and responsibilities.
Flammable Materials / Candles / Incense
The burning of candles, incense, and similar materials is a fire hazard and is prohibited in residence hall rooms and on exterior window sills. The storage and use of flammable fluid is prohibited.
Appliances and Room Alterations
Approved appliances for use in student rooms include:
- clocks
- radios
- computers
- stereos
- fans
- televisions
- lamps
- typewriters
Residents may use the following appliances with reasonable caution:
- blow dryers
- irons
- curling irons
These appliances may not be used at all in residence halls:
- coffee pots
- toasters
- grills
- popcorn poppers
- hot plates (other than hot-air)
- skillets
- other cooking equipment
- air conditioners
- gas appliances
- dehumidifiers
- heating pads
- electric blankets
- candle warmers
- hot-air popcorn poppers
- sun lamps or indoor grills such as "The George Foreman Grill"
- refrigerators with a medical slip from a license physician
If there are health reasons for certain equipment, specifically air conditioners, you must receive approval from the Student Health Services and be assigned to a hall where central air conditioning is provided. Appropriate documentation from a licensed physician is required. Tampering, altering, or rewiring electrical outlets is a fire and safety hazard and is not permitted. Overloading outlets with many appliances is also a fire hazard. Questions about overloading can be directed to the Hall Manager. Any arrangement of furniture or decorations that blocks or impedes exits or entrances to a residence hall room is prohibited.
Students are responsible for the condition of their room, the furniture assigned to that room, and the interior of the room door. Charges will be assessed for damage resulting from the use of tape, tacks, nails, screws, or pins on walls or furniture. Charges will be assessed and vary depending on the nature of the damage. Failure to remove these items will result in an additional $10 charge at the next scheduled health, safety, and maintenance inspection.
Keys and University IDs
Dishonest use of a key and/or University ID is a violation of University policy. Because your key and ID are used for admission to various University facilities and activities, the lending, borrowing, altering, or duplicating of a residence hall key or ID is strictly prohibited. A re-key fee is charged if the key is not returned upon vacancy of the room.
Alcohol consumption is illegal for persons under 21 years of age. Empty containers of alcoholic beverages (e.g., beer cans, liquor, and wine bottles) are indicators of consumption and therefore prohibited in rooms of all students. For regulations covering the consumption and possession of alcohol, refer to pages 96-97, and 305 of the Code of Student Conduct. The delivery of alcohol to any residence hall is prohibited.
Students are expected to operate bicycles in a safe and courteous manner and comply with University regulations and state laws pertaining to bicycle operation, including safety equipment standards. Bicycles are subject to the same driving laws as motor vehicles, and citations for improper and unsafe riding may be issued. Bicycles may not be operated in the residence halls at any time, and may not be stored in rooms or not in any public areas of the halls. Complete bicycle regulations are contained in The Student Handbook and are also available from Police Services.
Business Ventures
Residence hall rooms may not be used for business purposes of any nature. Unauthorized selling, collecting of money, and promotion on campus or within any University building is not permitted. Students may not act as agents for business firms that entail solicitations or the receiving of business offers or goods on University property.
Fire Regulations
Please be sure to locate the fire alarms and exits in your hall. Your prompt and complete
cooperation in case of fire is important for everyone's safety. Each room is equipped with a smoke detector, but it is not attached to the main hall system. In case of a fire in your room, you must pull a fire alarm in the hallway to activate the hall system, then call 911 to report the fire's location and notify a hall staff member.
If an alarm has been sounded, raise your shade, turn on the room light, and check the door for heat. If the door is hot, block the floor crack with a towel and attempt to signal for help from your window. If the door is not hot, exit your room, close the door behind you, stay near the floor, and leave the building by the nearest exit. Under no circumstances should you re-enter a burning building.
Remaining in a residence hall during a fire alarm is a violation of the Code of Student Conduct and will be dealt with in a disciplinary matter.
False Alarms
Anyone turning in a false fire or bomb report, either by telephone or by setting off an alarm, or anyone tampering with fire extinguishers or smoke detectors is subject to suspension from the University and prosecution under the Delaware State Revised Code and/or the Code of Student Conduct.
Many residence hall living rooms have functional fireplaces. They may be used only during specified hours with the permission of the Hall Manager. Extreme care should be exercised when using a fireplace. Residents using the fireplace are responsible for keeping the glass doors or screens closed while the fire is burning.
Hall Sports
Students are prohibited from playing sports or rough-housing in the halls as this may disrupt the living/learning environment. Hall sports include, but are not limited to, tossing, bouncing, or kicking a ball or frisbee, rollerblading, biking, using a scooter, or use of water guns or water balloons.
Legal Drug Usage and Other Medical Conditions
If you are a student who needs special medication by injection, the Student Health Services is available to help you. If you need to give yourself injections, please arrange for safe and sanitary disposal of your syringes. You are encouraged to notify the Student Health Services and your hall Manger if you have a medical condition that may require special attention. Appropriate confidentiality will be maintained.
Musical Instruments
Musical instruments may not be played in the halls. Violation of this policy may result in a resident being required to store the instrument until it can be removed from campus, or the removal of the resident from the halls. Persons failing to comply with the musical instrument regulation may be charged with a noise violation. Similarly, the volume of stereos or other sound systems must be low enough so sound does not carry to other student rooms or outdoors.
Noise Policy
Noise violations are often viewed subjectively by both students and staff. Based on experience, the following examples constitute clear violations of the noise policy:
- noises, music, or voices that are clearly distinguishable in the corridor during restricted quiet hours
- heavy percussion or bass sounds that vibrate through any walls, doors, ceilings, or floors
- alarms or music playing in an empty room
- pounding on doors, bouncing sports equipment or other items on the walls or floor of a room or corridor
- failure to respect courtesy hours
For the purposes of this policy, noise shall be considered too loud if it can be heard outside of a room with the door closed during quiet hours. Courtesy and common sense should prevail at all other times. Please note: All students present in a room are charged with a noise violation in that room unless one resident takes responsibility for the violation.
Pets can create safety and sanitation hazards and, therefore, are not permitted in the residence halls. Fish are the only acceptable pets permitted in any residence hall and may be kept in tanks no larger than 5 gallons. Fish should be removed from residence halls during winter and spring breaks.
Quiet and Courtesy Hours
Quiet hours are a specified time each day when the hall is to remain quiet. The primary purpose of living in residence halls is to support the student's academic experience. Therefore, courtesy hours are in effect at all times. Courtesy hours indicate that all residents are expected to accommodate reasonable requests for quiet by students, residence life staff, or housekeeping staff. Failure to comply with these requests may result in documentation of a noise violation.
On the weekdays, quiet hours begin at 9 pm to 8 am. During the weekends, quiet hours begin at midnight to 8am. Weekdays are defined as Sunday to Thursday and Weekends are defined as Friday to Saturday. During finals week there are 24 hour quiet hours from Friday, or the designated reading day, before finals until the end of finals. Students may be asked to leave the residence halls if they are found to be in violation of quiet hours during the 24 hour quiet period.
Radio Transmission
Radio transmission is not permitted in residence halls except through authorized agencies such as WDSU radio.
Delaware State University is now a smoke-free campus. The use of legal tobacco products is prohibited anywhere on campus.
Because of the threat of violence in our society, we are very concerned about weapons in our residence halls. Therefore, we prohibit the possession of weapons or those items that a casual observer might perceive to be a weapon (e.g., toy guns, stun guns etc.). Persons found to be in possession of such items or weapons may be charged with a violation of the Code of Student Conduct. For further information on this policy, please read the student handbook.
Visitation Policies
We expect that if you want to have a guest, you will consult your roommate(s)/suitemates in an effort to maintain positive roommate relations. A resident's right to privacy takes priority over a roommate's desire to entertain guests. If you have a guest in your room against the expressed wishes of your roommate, you may face administrative relocation to another residence hall room.
A guest is defined as any person in a residence hall room or public area of a residence hall who is not a currently assigned resident of that room or residence hall. A guest can be a person who does not attend Delaware University or a Delaware State University student who lives off-campus, in a different hall, or in a different room in the hall.
A host is a resident of the hall who has a guest. To maintain a living environment that respects the privacy and security of the residents and the hall, hosts and guests are required to abide by these policies:
- All guests must have a specific host who is a resident of the room and/or residence hall that the guest is visiting.
- Guests are subject to the same rules and regulations found in the Code of Student Conduct and The Student
Handbook as their host. The host is responsible for informing the guest of these regulations in advance of the visit.
- The host will be held responsible for inappropriate behavior of guests, including those who are Delaware State students.
- If the guests are not Delaware State students, the host assumes full financial responsibility for the behavior and actions
of his/her guests while they are on campus.
- For safety and security reasons, a guest must be escorted at all times and in all areas of the residence hall by his/her
- Guests MUST use bathrooms designated for use by persons of their own sex.
- Guests may not use a resident's key or ID card for any reason, including access to the residence hall or dining hall.
- During the course of their visit, guests are expected to behave in a way that contributes positively to the residence hall
community, showing respect and consideration for others and for property.
Visitation Hours
Visitation is the opportunity for members of the opposite sex to visit in student rooms. Specifically, the policy allows members of one sex to visit members of the opposite sex in their residence hall room during specified hours. Quiet hours, the visitation policies, and all rules and regulations found in the Code of Student Conduct remain in effect during visitation hours. The University recognizes that students may need to work collaboratively on academic work during non-visitation hours. In each residence hall, there are 24-hour study rooms, typically found in the lobby and lounge. Visitation is permitted in these public areas during social hours of 11am – 12am on Sunday through Thursday and 11am – 2am on Friday and Saturday. Consult your Manager to obtain a complete list of all areas of your residence hall that are available for visitation during the social hours.
The visitation hours are 1pm – 12 midnight on Sunday; 4pm – 12 midnight from Monday through Thursday and from 4:30pm form Friday to Saturday.
Each resident is permitted a maximum of 2 guests.
Overnight Guests
Visitation hours do not permit students to have guests of the opposite sex stay overnight in their residence hall room. There are no accommodations in any University residence hall for overnight guests of the opposite sex. However, students are permitted to have overnight guests of the same sex. To maintain a living environment that respects the privacy of the residents and to maintain security in the building, hosts and overnight guests are required to abide by all policies that apply to guests (see Visitation section above.) Overnight guests are expected to comply with the Visitation Policy, the rules and regulations found in the Code of Student Conduct, and the Overnight Guest Policy. Delaware State students not complying with these policies will be subject to disciplinary action. We expect that if you wish to have an overnight guest, you will consult your roommate(s)/suitemates in an effort to maintain positive roommate relations. All policies pertaining to guests also pertain to overnight guests. The Student Handbook, page 90, Visitation Policy, states:
"Overnight visitors (of same sex ONLY must register at the residence hall upon arrival. A fee of $5 payable in advance is charged for each night of visitation. Overnight guests are authorized only on Friday and /or Saturday nights and no guest shall stay in the residence halls for a period greater than three days during any calendar month. No one under the age of 16 may stay overnight."
Overnight guests are not permitted to occupy residence hall beds without specifically requesting the permission of those to whom the bed is assigned. Overnight guests may not sleep in living rooms, lounges, or on lounge furnishings. Hosts who permit overnight guests to violate these policies will be subject to disciplinary action. Only the Manger of the hall in which the host resides may grant exceptions to this policy.
Unauthorized use of University Housing
The residence hall is a place where many students live and call home. Damage to the building detracts from the environment. Therefore, the playing of any form of sports in the hallways and public areas is not allowed. Damage to hall property will be charged to those responsible for the damage. Venturing out onto roofs is a safety hazard and subject to disciplinary action.
Residents are not permitted on any roof (including porches) because of potential injury or roof damage. Students found in violation of this policy may be subject to disciplinary action.
Housing Assignments
Housing assignments are made by the Department of Residence Life Housing, room 108 Laws Hall. Continuing students may contact this office for information on housing assignments. New or transfer students should contact the Office of Admission for assistance.
First-Year Assignments
All first-year students are required to live in residence halls unless they meet one of the following criteria.
- married or getting married during the academic year
- commute from the home of a parent or legal guardian
Exceptions to these criteria will be considered by the Department of Residence Life and Housing upon receipt of a written request. Housing assignments for first-year students are made at random. Although new students cannot choose a particular hall to live in, reciprocal roommate requests and requests for non-smoking roommates are honored whenever possible.
Upper-class Assignments
In the fall, all current upperclass residents may have the option to reside in Warren Franklin, the University Village and the University Courtyards. Students may have the opportunity to select the specific hall, room, and roommate(s) of their choice during the reassignment procedures.
Temporary Housing
At times there are more students desiring housing than the University can accommodate, and each semester some students withdraw shortly after the semester begins. Because of these situations, some students are placed in temporary housing until permanent assignments can be made. Those assigned to temporary spaces are notified in writing that their assignments are temporary, and they will be moved to permanent assignments as soon as possible. This policy allows the University to accommodate more students, making the best use of facilities and keeping room and meal plan rates low.
Room and Hall Changes
Room and hall changes may usually be made after the second week of the semester. Before making a room change, you must obtain approval of the Managers in both halls. If approval for the change is granted, the room being vacated is inspected and the Manager collects the room key and assesses room damages.
Vacant Spaces
If there is a vacant bed in a student room, the Department of Residence Life and Housing may assign another student to that room at any time. Current residents of that room who create a hostile environment for new or potentially new roommates may face disciplinary action. Before winter break, students with vacant beds in their room must prepare the room for a roommate. Preparation includes moving all personal belongings to one side of the room, emptying one dresser and closet, and cleaning the room.
Residence Hall Contract
Each student living in University housing signs a residence hall contract. This contract obligates you to pay both room and meal plan charges for first and second semesters. Students are not permitted to sublet their rooms.

Giving Back to the Community Can Pay off for Those with Student Loans
By S.Z. Berg
NEW YORK (MainStreet)--Rather than pay back their student loans, young professionals can get them forgiven by giving back to the community.
The federal government and many state governments, as well as a handful of organizations, offer forgiveness programs in order to get services provided in needed professions and in specific areas of the country.
In addition to the better known programs, such as AmeriCorps and the military, there are many lesser-known, career-based student loan forgiveness programs. Some programs are state specific and others are loan specific. For example, there's a long list of professions, from attorneys serving in the federal government to school librarians to nurses and medical technicians that can get forgiveness for their Perkins loans.
If your main goal is to ditch your debt, you'll have to do the math. Qualifying jobs are paid work, but in some cases you may not be earning as much as you would in the private sector.
You'll have to determine if the value of the loan repayment compensates for the lost earnings.
Keep in mind, too, that the IRS considers many types of loan forgiveness as taxable income.
The nonprofit American Student Assistance recently published a free downloadable eBook called 60 Ways To Get Rid Of Your Student Loans (Without Paying Them), a comprehensive listing of available loan forgiveness programs. However, the organization notes that it's an incomplete listing, and students with loans should check out other potential resources, such as employers and trade organizations.

Topic: *Magick Just Won't Work
Everything was perking along just fine until ... it wasn't. I've been getting the dreaded ImageMagick bus error on my MacBook Pro and can't seem to shake it. I've rebuilt from source. I've used Darwin Ports. I even grabbed a copy of GraphicsMagick and built the RMagick gem with --with-graphics-magick.
The last option was the best, but still not good. With GraphicsMagick, I don't seem to have the postscript support I need for Scruffy or Gruff.
Can anyone give me some pointers on how to get a clean install of a working graphics library? I tried the RoR mailing list, but I guess the topic's been around a few times and wasn't interesting anymore. None of the previously suggested fixes worked for me.

Royal Gorge, Canon City officials closer to agreeing on a plan to reopen park
CANON CITY — City and Royal Gorge Bridge officials who were not seeing eye to eye last week on how new park amenities should look are nearing agreement on rebuilding plans.
Much of the park, which is the city's biggest tourist attraction, was destroyed by a June 11 wildfire. Following a closed-doors executive session last Wednesday, City Council unanimously agreed to postpone action on a proposal to rebuild the park.
Although the council had approved a reconstruction plan earlier in the month, a revamped proposal was, "A significant deviation from the approved plan," said Doug Dotson, city manager, in a press release.
Most notably, the plan put the historic incline railway attraction on the back burner.
"We've discussed a solution to our differences and come up with compromises. We are trying to structure a fund to generate money to rebuild the incline sooner rather than later," said Mike Bandera, Royal Gorge Bridge manager.
A subcommittee representing the city will meet with bridge officials today to review new architectural plans.
"The new plans conform to the natural environment as they have requested and should enable us to compete in the tourism market in the long run. We both are after the same thing — to reopen the park as soon as possible," Bandera said.
Although Dotson said the city, which owns the Royal Gorge Bridge & Park, is committed to working with the bridge company, he lamented a decline in attendance at the park which the company has a contract to run for the next 12 years.
"Attendance at the park has declined from 504,000 visitors in 1996 to 265,000 in 2012. City officials are concerned about the decline, expressing that bold planning and reinvestment are needed, not only to rebuild the park now but to continually update the park so that it stays relevant and exciting for people over time," Dotson wrote in the release.
"It is true that attendance has been down starting with when the state dropped the ball on advertising, then came 9/11. Those years have been marked by fires, record-breaking gasoline prices and the poor economy, but we have given the city the biggest (lease) checks ever from 2009 to 2011 due to great gross revenues," Bandera said.

Nintendo is about several months before selling its 50 millionth Wii video game console and this fact is a hard one to ignore not only for publishers of games, but also to movie studios, who are very interested in maximizing Internet-connected set-top-boxes (STB) capable of streaming their videos. Obviously, Wii is a perfect STB candidate and Lionsgate, a large Hollywood movie studio, understand this.
"The thing that is clearly a force in digital are the game devices. I think when we see the Wii come into the market with the ability to stream movies, which I think is maybe going to happen as soon as this year, I think that's going to be a big marketplace for digital distribution," said Curt Marvis, president of digital media for Lionsgate, in an interview with Variety.com web-site.
Back in early 2009 Nintendo already launched a video distribution service on the Wii console that initially offers cartoons and entertainment shows created for the new service to differentiate it from other online delivery video services, which offer existing content.
Nintendo Wii is the best-selling video game console among the new-generation systems. Moreover, its success is conditioned by popularity among so-called casual gamers, who are also hardly frequent users of online video delivery services. In case Nintendo, provided that it launches standard-definition video download or renting service (Wii still lacks high-def output), manages to make aforementioned services popular among casual users, who still prefer DVDs, this may be a giant leap for the whole industry as it will show the way of watching movies to tens of millions casual end-users.
Both Microsoft and Sony provide video download services on their latest PlayStation and Xbox platforms.
Nintendo did not comment on the news-story.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (64 votes).
In short: My first half marathon! Gently undulating, nice scenery, well organised.Date of review: November 16, 2012
In short: A well organised race and a lovely undulating route In full: This was my first time at Pewsey HM and I'll be back. The route was fairly similar to my training runs so I felt really at home :) and I actually got a 25second PB! :) The t-shirt made a nice change to a medal, all my medals are stuffed in a drawer somewhere but at least I'll wear the t-shirt :). Well done PVRC :)Date of review: September 5, 2011
Date of review: September 3, 2011
In short: Good, well organised race with lots of marshalsIn full: I can't really comment on PB potential as I was aiming to run at marathon pace, but it felt like it could be fast. There are a few inclines, and a longish hill leading up to 4 miles, but I've been running up steeper in training so that felt ok. There were lots of marshals to show the way and offer encouragement, and pretty much every walker, cyclist and even car drivers I passed seemed to be encouraging us. A great, well organised race, the only downside for me was that I got stung by a wasp somewhere between miles 1 and 2, but I can't blame the organisers for that!! It was nice to have T-shirts available in size S :-)Date of review: August 30, 2011
In short: Countryside and cakes!In full: This is a fantastic race, PVRC really know how to do it. The course is very scenic, with open country side and quiet lanes. The marshalls were great, friendly and supportive.T-shirt at the end - if you pre entered makes a nice change from the usual medals.Will definately be back.Date of review: August 29, 2011
In short: Very enjoyable race in the midst of beautiful countrysideDate of review: August 29, 2011
In short: lovely coarse, well organisedIn full: really enjoyed this race, the coarse was great, well organised and friendly, with a well stocked cake shop at the end,my only dissapointment was no medal at the finish.Date of review: August 29, 2011
In short: a friendly picturesque well organised raceIn full: Plenty of marshals to guide through the lanes of Pewsey vale. Friendly atmosphere, great views, quaint villages, one hill at 3.5 ish wasn't so bad and a great run down the otherside, and scrumptious cakes. Date of review: August 29, 2011
In short: Much flatter than expected, plenty of marshals - good friendly funIn full: Really impressed but the number of marshals along the route - great for support and water stations (though no jelly babies LOL) . . a much flatter course than expected, definitely one for a pb next year :)Date of review: August 28, 2011
In short: It may sound daft, but this race is undulating at best, but for me is fast, with 2 fastest time over the distance in 1:26:xx... so it has the potential for speedIn full: Well marshalled except for the water station at 5m... where only 1 person was giving out water... holding on to the cups so hard that when you took it, it immeadiatley split... whilst the other was busy filling up 100's of cups... needed at least another person.... if not 2.Other than that no issues in a good club ran event, I like and am faster over undulating courses.....Date of review: August 28, 2011

Just What Do You Do?
There's the rub, isn't it? You read all that introduction on the home page, browsed your way through the portfolio and even had a look around, but still want to know what we do, then, do you? It's all about the services. And this paragraph probably reads best with a hearty Irish Brogue, if you're curious.
Everyone is busy. Just read the paper and you can see how we all scurry about like insects, as if there is nothing to do other than be busy. Every day there is news about something else that is happening that seems to serve no purpose other than to keep us busy. In the olden days - before computers, that is - many of these things would have been handled by an assistant. But these days, there are services available that take the load off of you and you simply hire them to take care of the mundane tasks for you, enabling you to concentrate on your business.
There are many names for these businesses, but they are generally called something like a Virtual Assistant. Typically they do the day-to-day chores of running your business: Making calls, handling messages, scheduling appointments, and generally organizing things that you cannot (or do not wish to). That is not a service that you will find here, but it is likely that you are familiar with their function.
It is simplest to think of Everitz Consulting as a Virtual Administrator. Rather than having to keep a full-time administrator on staff, one who you will have to pay benefits to and keep busy constantly (or worry about if they are not), you simply retain us as needed. The wide breadth of experience works to your advantage. The ability to work remotely means that general administrative tasks for your network or web site can often be handled without the need to have an everyday presence in your office, and you only need to pay for the services you use.
There are times that having a technical resource physically on staff will help, because it is unfortunately not possible to replace hardware or make connections remotely - but many ongoing, repetitive tasks can be handled remotely, and for these items, we can step in and handle your needs. Drop a line and see how we can help.
