Jackson County, located in North Carolina's Mountain region, was formed from Haywood and Macon Counties in 1851, taking its name from President Andrew Jackson. Webster served as the county seat until 1913, when it was moved to Sylva (incorporated in 1889). Other communities in the county include Dillsboro, Cullowhee, Cashiers, Glenville, Balsam, Tuckasegee, and parts of Highlands, Cherokee, and Sapphire. Jackson County also contains part of the Qualla Boundary, the reservation of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. Natural features important to the area include Judaculla Rock, with Indian markings of ancient origin, and Ellicott Rock, a boundary landmark.
Bordering both South Carolina and Georgia in the extreme southwestern portion of North Carolina, Jackson County's location in the Great Smoky Mountains has ensured a vibrant tourist industry. Skiing and hiking opportunities are available, while the Tuckasegee River is renowned among enthusiasts of whitewater rafting and trout fishing. The Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, operating out of Dillsboro, offers a variety of scenic day trips, and the county also boasts no fewer than 16 waterfalls. Despite significant population growth during the 1990s, Jackson County remains heavily wooded-most of its area lies within the Nantahala National Forest, and lumber and Christmas trees are an important source of revenue. The town of Cullowhee is home to Western Carolina University and the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching, the first state-funded program in the nation dedicated to the professional development of public school teachers. The estimated population of Jackson County in 2004 was 35,600.

WARSAW, Ind., Aug 28, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --
Zimmer Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ZMH) announced today the preliminary interim results of Zimst Boston and Mellon Investor Services LLC (as the Swiss offer manager and the U.S. exchange agent, respectively, for Zimmer's Centerpulse offer), as of the expiration of the initial offering period, 7,489,650 Centerpulse registered shares and 6,712,776 Centerpulse American depositary shares ("ADSs"), including Centerpulse ADSs subject to guaranteed delivery, were tendered and not withdrawn. Based on information provided today by Centerpulse, the foregoing shares and ADSs represent approximately 67.0% of the outstanding Centerpulse registered shares (including shares represented by Centerpulse ADSs) on a fully diluted basis. As a result, we believe that the minimum condition for Zimmer's Centerpulse offer will be satisfied regardless of whether Zimmer's offer for InCentive is successful.
Based on preliminary information provided by Credit Suisse First Boston (as the Swiss offer manager for Zimmer's InCentive Capital offer), as of the expiration of the initial offering period, 2,123,647 bearer shares of InCentive Capital were tendered and not withdrawn. The foregoing shares represent approximately 98.9% of the outstanding bearer shares of InCentive Capital. As a result, we believe that the condition relating to the minimum tender requirement for Zimmer's InCentive offer will be satisfied.
Zimmer will announce the definitive interim results of the Centerpulse offer and the InCentive Capital offer on September 2, 2003 in accordance with Swiss law.

A good neighbourhood, close to the old town,Ciudad de la Ciencia and the beach, Delicious breakfast, a clean room, every day it felt good to come home. Andres, thank you very much for your hospitality, help and friendship! Hasta el próximo año!
Andres was a great host. He gave us all the info we needed to arrive at his place, fast and easy. He then made us breakfast (great one, i might add) everyday of our staying. Andres was always polite, very helpfull (giving all the info we needed, places to visit and how to get there) and made us feel at home. Place is well located, close to the center and not far from the beach.
Andrés and Aurora are a very nice and careful couple and their apartment is lovely! And their breakfast is so delicious and also healthy. Everything is very clean! Two bathroom for three rooms so you don't have to wait or you wait only a short time. Well connected with the Old Town Center, you have to take only one bus or walking for half one hour (media hora). If you go you surely would like to go there again! You'll miss those people ;)
Our stay at Andres apartment was wonderful! The room and the bathroom were very clean and nice. The breakfast was good, too. Andres is a very helpful host and even with some language problems from both sides, he told us a lot about Valencia and showed us nice places to go and to experience the real spanish lifestyle :)
When we come back to Valencia, we definitely would stay with Andres again!
Andrès, staying with you in your nice apartment was a great pleasure! Your hospitality was beyond expactations!
We really would like to drink that good wine with you one day, back in Valencia:)...!!
Thank you very much!! Ger and Ineke

Anfitriones increíbles, siempre muy atentos a sus huéspedes y amables, cuando te despertabas tenias un desayuno increíble de fruta fresca, té, zumo y tostadas mermelada, mantequilla o aceite de oliva y tomates para el desayuno ademas de que te ayudan en todo lo que pueden, y si es tu primera vez en Valencia te dejan un mapa y te dan una indicación de lugares muy maravillosos para visitar y ademas te indican que buses coger si quieres llegar a ellos (aunque si quieres andar la casa esta bastante cerca de casi todos los sitios) y la habitación magnifica, cómoda, muy grande, fresquita para este veranito, jamas me hubieran tratado también en ningún otro sitio, porque te hacen parecer de la familia, así que ni lo dudéis si vais a pasar algunos días por Valencia no encontrareis lugar mejor.
The room in Valencia was great, we had a large room with a wardrobe and a large bed. The time we spent there was nice, although we visited the city most of the time. But when we were in the appartment, we talked to our incredibly nice hosts, they always made breakfast(which tasted awesome) and talked to us. Andres knew how to get to every point in the city and was caring throughout the time. In general oe could say that the quite modern appartment was really nice and easy to find. Therefore I want to say thank you.
We spent in Valencia one week. First surprise for us was the equipment of the whole apartment. Our room was splendid and comfortable. We had separated bathroom and every day Andres prepared for us fresh fruit, tea, juice and delicious baguette with marmalade, butter or olive oil and tomatoes for breakfast. Andres was great attentive host, he was so kind and he helped us even with our sickness. He recommended us many beautiful places and gave us a map (including tips for public transport, which saved us lots of money). It was possible to prepare our own food in his kitchen and use his equipment. We can't imagine staying in Valencia without his help and precious tips! We definitely recommend this apartment!
Dear people who make you feel at home for your attention and kindness.
The house is beautiful, has charm, just as good as any hotel. Plus it includes breakfast, which is served them accompanied by a good early-morning talk that grabs the chair and will not let you escape, hehe.

A huge Andrew and Aurora and I hope to keep in touch hug.

La casa es preciosa, tiene encanto, nada que envidiar a ningún hotel. Además de que incluye el desayuno, que lo sirven ellos acompañado de una buena charla mañanera que te atrapa en la silla y no te deja escapar, jeje.
Animo a quien lea este comentario a que no se lo piense que no se arrepentirá de la estancia.
Un abrazo enorme a Andrés y Aurora y espero seguir en contacto.

Sulphur quarterback Brian Walker. (Kirk Meche / Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Saturday, October 13, 2012 10:07 PM
CARENCRO — For the second consecutive week Barbe found itself in a nail-biter, once again finding a way to pull out the victory, this time knocking off Carencro 41-37 Friday night in a District 3-5A game.
"That's just the nature of this district," said Barbe coach Mike Cutrera said. "Every week you're going to be in a battle."
Barbe (6-1, 3-0) overcame a 20-point first-quarter deficit, taking advantage of three Carencro (4-2, 3-1) fumbles deep in their own territory.
"I told the guys before the game that you've got to be tough to beat a team like this," Carencro coach Brendt Indest said. "But you can't turn the ball over and miss extra points."
Despite the missed opportunities for Carencro, the Bears had the ball in Barbe territory with 14 seconds left. However, three tosses into the end zone later and the Bucs were the ones celebrating.
"Forty-one points is not indicative of how well our defense played tonight," Indest said. "We had an opportunity to make this game academic early on, but just weren't able to pull it out."
The Bears took a 37-34 lead with 5:45 left in the game and forced the Bucs into a fourth-and-5 with 3 minutes left. However, the prolific duo of Kennon Fontenot and Trey Quinn proved too much as Quinn hauled in a 15-yarder to pick up the key first down.
Then, on a third-and-6 form the 11-yard line, Fontenot scored the go-ahead touchdown with 1:14 left.
"The play was designed to go to Trey," Fontenot said. "But when I dropped back I just saw everyone go with him. I saw a lane to run through and I took it."
It was a Bears fourth-down conversion that gave them a 37-30 lead. On fourth-and-6 from the Barbe 33-yard line, Cedric Richardson hit Desmond Boutte on a fly pattern to cap an 11-play, 80-yard drive that took 5:29 off the clock.
"I'm really proud of the way this team responded to all the adversity tonight," Cutrera said. "We got down by 20, and got down late, but the guys battled back and found a way to win."
Everything went right for the Bears early in the game.
First, Jaylan Rose ran for 52-yard score to cap a five-play, 80-yard drive. However, Cody Smith missed the PAT kick, something that proved critical later in the game.
Six plays later, Kendall Breaux picked off an errant Fontenot throw and ran it back 45-yards, giving the Bears a 13-0 lead.
After forcing a three-and-out, and a shank punt, the Bears needed only one play to up the lead to 20-0 — a 43-yard run by Rose.
But turnovers started to help Barbe chip away at the Carenrco lead. Rose had his first fumble at his own 34-yard line. Three plays later Courtney Galentine punched it in to make the score 20-7 in the first quarter.
Carencro went 88 yards in 10 plays. Yet, on the 10th play, Rose fumbled at the 11-yard line.
Barbe responded with a 13-play, 89-yard drive that ended on a 1-yard plunge by Fontenot.
Carencro's Smith kicked a 28-yard field goal before the end of the half, making the score 23-14.
The Bucs wasted little time opening the scoring in the second half, taking it 59 yards in four plays (23-21).
The Bucs took the lead for the first time when Jaime McGee knocked in a 42-yard field goal.
Carencro answered with a four-play, 80-yard drive, capped by a 5-yard rumble by Galen Carter.
McGee hammered a 38-yard field goal to give the Bucs a 30-27 lead.
SULPHUR — Sulphur was rough on its visitors from Moss Bluff, using a four-touchdown microburst in the second quarter to roll to a win over Sam Houston.
"We just weren't as physical as we've been the last three weeks, and I'm not sure why," said Sam Houston coach Vaughn Eggleston. "When you give a team like Sulphur the ball over and over again, they're going to capitalize."
After a scoreless first quarter, the Golden Tors (4-3, 2-1) got rolling in the second frame behind three touchdowns from running back Brian Walker — two rushing and one receiving. Walker added a fourth touchdown in the third quarter.
"He's a guy that likes to score," said Sulphur coach Harold Fusilier. "When he gets close to the goal line, he can sniff it in a hurry."
The rest of Sulphur's scoring damage was done by quarterback Kale Breaux and athlete Seth Bohannon. Breaux hit Bohannon for a 23-yard touchdown pass to open the scoring, and Bohannon finished it off on a 10-yard run from the wildcat in the fourth.
He didn't cross the goal line, but wide receiver Robert Downing also provided the offense plenty of help with four catches for 42 yards.
"It's a tough scheme to defend," Eggleston said.
Though he was happy with the second-quarter surge, Fusilier said the Tors let up in the second half — a point he'll be hammering home in practice this week as Sulphur tries to make a playoff push.
"The second half, we kind of let it slip a little bit," Fusilier said. "You know, 'It's homecoming, will I see you at the dance afterwards?' All that stuff. We didn't play with quite the same intensity in the second half, but we were fortunate to be up pretty good at that point. … I'm glad the kids got a good win for homecoming, but tomorrow we get back to work."
Sam Houston (2-5, 0-4) trailed 34-0 before it finally got on the board on a 1-yard Cliff Reid run. The Broncos added a 68-yard pass from Dustin Duhon to Evan Morris in the fourth quarter.
Game recap coming soon
ARNAUDVILLE — Robert Leday scored a pair of touchdowns and LaGrange bounced back from a tough loss a week earlier to get back into the district race.
The Gators (4-3, 1-1) fell to DeRidder in the first week of district play, making last night's game a must win.
LaGrange responded with a solid performance on both offense and defense to get back in the District 4-4A chase.
DERIDDER — Washington-Marion's Melvin Jones took a short pass from quarterback Maruis Rideaux and rambled 48 yards for the winning touchdown against DeRidder.
For good measure Jones, who started the night's scoring off with a 1-yard touchdown run, ran in the two-point conversion. He also kicked the first two extra points for the Charging Indians (6-1, 2-0).
"Melvin came through when we need him,'' said Charging Indians coach Freddie. "That's just the kinda kid he is whatever he can do to help the team, he'll do".
Jones' winning rumble came with just 1:20 left on the clock and on a third-and-32.
DeRidder (3-4, 1-1) held Jones to just 80 yards on 11 carries.
Given the day off from school, St. Louis players appeared to take the first half off as well.
That put the Saints in a hole and it took until the fourth quarter to finally climb out of.
St. Louis scored four times in the game's final 16 minutes to put away stubborn Opelousas at Cougar Stadium.
The victory keeps St. Louis' (4-3, 1-1) district title hopes alive.
"That was a tale of two teams," said Saints defensive back Lenny Brenda, who had two interceptions and scored one of three fourth-quarter touchdowns for St. Louis.
"We knew we did not play well in the first half and we knew what we had to do in the second. We just went out and played our game."
What the Saints had to do was stop Tigers wide receiver Ke'Andrea Jones, who had touchdown grabs of 66 and 48 yards as Opelousas opened up a 20-7 halftime lead.
"He was really good on the slants and we had to take that away in the second half," Brenda said. "We just covered him and tried to make them do something else."
Jones finished with eight catches for 222 yards.
Game recap coming soon
CROWLEY — The third ranked Pioneers converted some key plays in the game en route to a win over the tenth-ranked Iowa Yellow Jackets in District 4-3A action.
The Pioneers (5-1, 2-0) had two late scores in the fourth quarter that sealed the win. The first came when Brad Stoma connected with Russ Cullen on a 16-yard pass with 11:45 to play in the game. The second came after the Pioneers converted a first down on an end around play with 5:17 to play. Luke Broussard then scored his third touchdown on a 26-yard run to close out the game.
"It was two big second-half touchdowns on two nice drives," said Notre Dame Coach Lewis Cook. "I have to give Iowa a lot of credit as they were not 6-0 by accident. They have a good solid football team and their kids played extremely hard."
The Yellow Jackets (6-1, 1-1) had one last attempt on the offensive side of the ball late, but an Austin Theriot pass was intercepted with 3:08 left in the game.
JENNINGS — Westlake's road show continued Friday night as the Rams remained unbeaten in District 4-3A play with a 22-14 win over the Bulldogs.
Westlake (5-1, 2-0) has opened district play with two road wins, and can gain sole possession of first place next week when Notre Dame visits.
Jennings (4-3, 0-2) has lost twice at home in district play.
The Bulldogs could not get out of their own way, losing three fumbles and throwing an interception. Three Jennings drives ended inside the Westlake 32-yard line, one on a fumble, one on an interception and another on downs.
Westlake's Jaylin Peltier recovered two fumbles, including one at the Jennings 16-yard line that set up a 5-yard touchdown run by Latrell Martin that tied the game at 14 late in the third quarter.
Westlake drove 62 yards on 10 plays in the fourth quarter for the winning score, a 7-yard pass from Tim Hamilton to Jacory Washington on fourth-and-goal with 3:51 remaining.
Earlier in the drive, Washington had a 34-yard catch-and-run for a first down on third-and-23 from the Westlake 25.
Jennings turned the ball over on downs at the Westlake 39 with 1:35 remaining on its final drive.
KINDER — Marshall Harmon ran for 151 yards and four touchdowns, including two that helped Kinder build a 29-0 halftime lead against DeQuincy (2-5, 2-2).
Kinder (6-1, 2-0) ran for 294 yards, only going to the air four times.
DRY CREEK — Vinton answered a big East Beauregard rally when James McMillon returned a kickoff 81 yards for the go-ahead touchdown as the Lions prevailed.
Vinton (3-4, 1-3) jumped to a 14-0 lead, but East Beauregard answered with Josh Fletcher's 7-yard scoring run just before the half, then took advantage of good field position following a defensive stop to open the second half, leading to Justin Bailey's 36-yard touchdown run. The Trojans (0-7, 0-4) got a 2-point run from Fletcher for a 16-14 lead.
But it didn't last lone as McMillon sprinted 81 yards with the enusing to regain the lead.
B.J. Reed added an 8-yard scoring run just before the end of the third quarter and the Vinton defense kept the Trojans from seriously threatening in the final quarter.
LAKE ARTHUR — A last minute drive for a touchdown in the first half proved to be the difference between these arch-rivals.
Lake Arthur's Rory Guidry tossed a 44-yard pass to Taylor McFarland with 11 seconds left in the first half to give the Tigers a 21-14 lead, and the Tigers' defense made that stand up in the second half.
McFarland's score capped a seven-play, 70-yard march that took only 2:22.
Caleb Hayes' 2-yard run that completed a 68-yard, four-play drive had tied the game at 14-all moments earlier.
Lake Arthur (6-1, 3-1) got on the board first after stopping Welsh on downs at the Tigers' 42. Lake Arthur methodically covered 58 yards in 13 plays, the last coming on Tray Hargrave's two-yard run with 5:04 left in the first period.
The Greyhounds (6-1, 3-1) took the ensuing kickoff and raced 60 yards in five plays. Tray Goodwin bolted 47 yards to tie the game with 3:17 left in the first quarter.
ROSEPINE — Blake Hinson ran for two touchdowns and threw for another as Rosepine coasted past archrival Pickering.
The Eagles (4-3, 3-1) stayed in contention for the district with 139 yards rushing from Noah Martin, who had a pair of touchdowns on scoring runs of 5 and 4 yards and also scored on a 2-point conversion run.
Hinson, who rushed for 87 yards, opened the scoring when he tossed a 26-yard touchdown pass to Eric Kyle.
Defensively Rosepine held Pickering to 50 yards total offense — no yards in the air — as James Means had an interception and Colton Johnson blocked a punt.
Pickering (1-6, 1-3) was led by Devin Whitle with 42 yards rushing.
OAKDALE — Reg Philson threw for three touchdowns and ran for two others to lead Oakdale.
Trailing 29-15, the Warriors, (2-5, 2-0) scored four unanswered touchdowns in the third and fourth quarter to seize control.
Philson's 11-yard run made it 29-22. Minutes later, he tossed a 47-yard TD pass to Aaron Rogers to close within 29-28.
Early in the fourth quarter Philson tossed a 5-yard pass to Kourtlyn Monette. The Warriors went up 41-29.
Oakdale's comeback overshadowed a 147-yard, four-touchdown performance by Iota's Brandon Fantroy.
ELTON — Scott Ross scored four times for the Indians as they remained perfect in District 5-1A with a win over Hamilton Christian.
The game was full of big plays — five touchdowns were of 36 yards or more and the teams combined for six turnovers.
Ross scored on runs of 36 and 10 yards and caught touchdown passes of 69 and 48 yards from Carson Ortego.
Micah Lavan added a 5-yard touchdown run for Elton (6-1, 2-0).
Seth Edwards scored on a 52-yard run and Jamie Collins caught a 50-yard scoring pass from Chris Ely for Hamilton (1-6, 0-2).
CREOLE — Basile running back Kendrick Ceaser, the state's second-leading rusher entering the game, ran for 238 yards and scored three touchdowns to lead the Bearcats to a District 5-1A win.
Ceaser scored on runs of 46 and 52 yards in the first quarter, then on a 34-yarder in the third quarter. Basile (7-0, 2-0) held South Cameron (1-6, 0-2) to nine first downs and 157 yards of offense.
Ceaser, a sophomore, has 1,320 yards and 15 touchdowns rushing. Jason Theriot led South Cameron with 72 yards passing and 31 yards rushing.
OBERLIN — Mark Fontenot threw for three touchdowns and Austin Darbonne ran for two others for the Tigers in a District 5-1A match.
Fontenot finished 8 of 10 for 97 yards for Oberlin (4-3, 2-0). Darbone (10 carries, 100 yards) scored on runs of 39 and 13 yards.
Nick Ardoin led the Panthers (2-5, 0-2) with 48 yards rushing on nine carries.

Video: Famous Chicago political organizer … outorganized?; Update: Romney holds surprise presser of his own outside Solyndra
posted at 2:01 pm on May 31, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
This sums up perfectly the first month of the general election campaign. The team with the community-organizing experience thought they could secretly arrange a rally in their opponent's home state to attack his record as governor, led by the chief organizing genius of the campaign. David Axelrod got a large, unpleasant lesson in Chapter One of This Ain't 2008 Any More:
Loud and rowdy supporters of Mitt Romney in Boston drowned out an attempt by President Obama campaign's top strategist to attack the former Republican governor on his home turf.
In a morning news conference on the steps of the Massachusetts Statehouse,David Axelrod, one of Mr. Obama's senior strategists, tried mostly in vain on Thursday to level Mr. Obama's latest broadside on Mr. Romney's record as governor of the state.
Instead, he was booed, heckled and chanted down by supporters of Mr. Romney who refused to let up even for a moment as Mr. Axelrod and Democratic state lawmakers sought to make their case.
With cameras rolling, the Republican hecklers yelled "We Want Mitt!" and "Broken Record!" and held signs that said "Go Back to Chicago!" Mr. Axelrod appeared bemused but rattled by them, at one point saying: "You can shout down speakers my friends, but it's hard to Etch A Sketch away the truth."
Word started leaking about the Boston event last last night, according to the NYT's Michael Shear, while the campaign announced it this morning. Somehow — oddly — CNN managed to have enough planning time to have a live feed broadcasting over the network. As the video shows, though, that coup ended up backfiring on Axelrod, who stammered and looked rattled indeed, as Shear describes.
BuzzFeed has even more, with Axelrod looking like a deer in the headlights:
Yup … this ain't 2008, that's for sure.
Update: Wow … this just gets better and better. Here's where Mitt Romney was while Axelrod was cleaning the egg off of his face:
ABC News covered the surprise press conference outside the shuttered Solyndra plant:
Mitt Romney arrived at the shuttered headquarters ofSolyndra Inc. this morning, a surprise visit that was shrouded in secrecy and part of the presumptive GOP presidential candidate's attack on President Obama's record on jobs creation.
"The reason for keeping it quiet is because we knew if word got out that Solyndra would do everything in their power and the Obama administration would do everything in their power to stop us from having this news conference," an aide said in a briefing en route. "But taxpayers made a substantial investment in Solyndra, there are serious questions about what happened at Solyndra, why that investment was selected, what happened to that money."
Solyndra is the failed California-based solar technology company that received more than $500 million in federal stimulus money before it went bankrupt last year. It has since become a mantle of Romney's argument that Obama doesn't know how to run the economy.
Did any of Axelrod's organizers figure this one out? Doesn't look as though they did.

I was making splits last week. On the cover of each nuc I put a check mark if they dont get a full frame of honey. That way, when I get them home I know which ones need a feeder right away. After getting them home and fed we got a few days of cold weather. Yesterday, when the temps were above 45 everybody was flying .except one. No check mark on the top so I had assumed they had a frame of honey. Not so.
To make matters worse .this nuc had a queen that I had planned to use for a special breeding project.
Sometimes I think I might be the worlds worst beekeeper .but I know Im not the worst .just a solid second place.

Focus: Golden Gate National Recreatikon Area
Bottled water corporations are trying to change the way people think about water. Water is a human right and common resource, not a commodity to be bought and sold. By retailing and promoting bottled water in our national parks, the bottled water industry is attempting to paint its eco-unfriendly product green.
Our national parks were never meant to serve as billboards and concession stands for the bottled water industry. It sends the wrong message about our national commitment to water, our most essential shared and public resource, for National Parks to sell and promote bottled water.
At least 14 parks are already bottled-water-free. With such momentum behind us, we can support the entire National Park system going bottled-water-free! But we need your help. We need to show that the people of San Francisco care about Yosemite and Golden Gate National Recreation Area and urge the park to Think Outside the Bottle and commit to going bottled-water-free.

The Helpfulness of
Employment Service Systems Research and Training
The Employment Service Systems Research and Training Center (ESSRTC) develops and enhances partnerships to improve the quality of employment services, opportunities, and outcomes for people with disabilities. Several research projects are designed to meet this goal and these projects represent partnerships across public agencies, between not-for-profit and public agencies, and between rehabilitation agencies and businesses.
One of the ESSRTC projects is the Workplace Socialization Model (WPS). This project focuses on job enhancement and retention. The WPS aims to extend the job tenure of employees with a disability and other positive work outcomes including the employee's job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and level of work culture competency, as well as the employer's satisfaction with the employee's job performance. See the "Helpfulness of the WPS Project" box below for a success story of this approach.

Apartment building fire in Big Stone Gap, Virginia
WISE COUNTY, Va. - An apartment building has burned in Big Stone Gap, Virginia.
The Big Stone Gap fire department tells us the fire happened on the corner of Wood Avenue and East 5th Street.
No one was inside the building at the time of the fire. We're told the building has been empty for some time.
Firefighters say they made an initial sweep of the building and did not find anyone inside, however they did have reason to believe the old building was not safe and could collapse.
We're told it's too early to speculate on a cause, but arson has not been ruled out.

'PARTY OF OPPORTUNITY' Pacheco.
Last month, just a few weeks removed from his long-held post as chairman of the Rhode Island Democratic Party, Bill Lynch walked into the party's convention as a Congressional candidate and didn't come close to securing the endorsement.
It was just the latest sign of the diminished power of the party boss. But if the Democrats' new chief is daunted, he isn't letting on.
Edwin Pacheco, 28, is known for his ambitious streak. He launched his first campaign for public office while still in high school. And before long, he ousted an incumbent and grabbed a seat in the General Assembly representing Burrillville.
After just five years in the legislature, he floated his name for lieutenant governor only to withdraw when the incumbent, Elizabeth Roberts, decided to pass on the governor's race and seek re-election.
And when Representative Patrick Kennedy stunned the political firmament with the announcement that he would not run for re-election this fall, Pacheco seriously considered a bid for Congress.
Now the chairman, who will leave the General Assembly at the end of the year, has big plans for his new gig. He is visiting the city and town Democratic committees one by one, vowing to ramp up the party's use of social media, and promising aggressive engagement with a rank-and-file that can feel left out between elections.
Rick McAuliffe, a lobbyist, Democratic fundraiser, and Pacheco supporter, says constant contact with the grassroots is particularly important in an era of declining party fealty. Party leaders, he says, can no longer count on reflexive support: "The days of, 'I'm a Democrat and that's good enough,' are gone."
Nowhere is that more evident than in the highest profile race on Pacheco's plate: the contest to replace Governor Donald Carcieri, the Republican terming out of office this year.
Before he dropped out of the Democratic gubernatorial primary, Attorney General Patrick Lynch did his best to make the case that his opponent, Treasurer Frank Caprio, is too conservative for the party.
Now that Caprio has a clear path to the nomination, some on the left wing of the party — already interested in the independent candidacy of Lincoln Chafee — are getting more serious about a defection.
Even before the gubernatorial race, the party had a problem on its progressive flank. Many in organized labor, traditionally a major funder of party-building activities, have become disenchanted with Rhode Island Democrats over the last couple of years — particularly over a push, closely associated with Caprio, to curtail pension benefits for public employees amid budget woes.
Bob Walsh, executive director of the National Education Association-Rhode Island teachers union, says disaffection with local Democrats is compounded by a growing frustration with the Obama Administration on everything from education reform to the handling of the BP oil spill.
The union chief, a member of the Democratic State Committee, has decided not to stand for re-election to the panel this year.
Pacheco also faces some rumbling from the conservative wing of the party. State Representative Jon Brien, a Woonsocket Democrat, says it is too early to judge the new chairman's tenure. But he is concerned that Pacheco's decision to hire Peter Asen, former director of the liberal Ocean State Action advocacy group, as a party staffer could portend a larger leftward drift.

Trio accused of trafficking heroin from NY to Berks County
Drug suspect's confiscated phone rings prior to 69 News interview
READING, Pa. - It took authorities just less than two weeks to bring down what they said was a major drug operation.
Tens of thousands of dollars worth of heroin was being funneled from New York to Berks County, officials said.
Melvin Almonte Guzman took phone orders for heroin to be delivered to the Reading area, authorities said.
"I would consider Guzman to be a top player," M. Theresa Johnson, first assistant district attorney, said after Guzman's confiscated phone began to ring.
Detectives, who said they have been watching Guzman since the beginning of August, arranged to make a purchase.
Guzman, they said, showed up in the 1200 block of Penn Avenue in Wyomissing with Kelvin Mejia and Tinmarson De La Cruz.
Authorities said they managed to purchase a $1,300 bag of heroin.
"The detectives quickly took the operation down and arrested the three of them on the spot," said Johnson.
Police said they searched the car and uncovered a hidden compartment in which they found bulk heroin worth about $30,000.
"These players, these guys from New York, are bringing it in. It would have been taken down to mid level dealers. They would have had their people break it up. It would have been sold in what we call dime bags," Johnson said.
Guzman and his organization allegedly used Route 222 to transport the bulk heroin throughout the region.
"This investigation was completed very quickly because it was such a large amount of heroin," Johnson said. "Heroin is a very dangerous drug."
Guzman, 32, of Greenwich, Conn.; Mejia, 34, of Queens Village, N.Y.; and Lantigua-Delacruz, 36, of Bronx, N.Y. were charged with possession with the intent to deliver heroin, conspiracy and related offenses.

I've been working hard on Anima for the last several weeks, including a facelift on the home page. I'm working on the drag and drop stuff in the image thumbnail window, and also on the underlying undo mechanisms. I'm using the same undo strategy that I used in Deluxe Music Construction Set - a pair of bits for each deletable item, one that says that the item is "hidden" (because the user deleted it), and another which says to toggle the hidden bit when the user hits "undo". Thus, a newly added item will have hidden=false, toggle=true, which means that "undo" will cause the item to disappear. The hidden items are really deleted at the start of each new command.
I also took a day or two to learn about XSL stylesheets. Xalan is cool. I put together a little demo that generates Java source code from a DOM (similar to what JSP does), and then plugged that in to the output of Xalan. I'd like to do a JSP-style servlet engine, similar to Resin, but which runs together with Apache-JServ. If I had more time, I would do that. But I don't want to get distracted. It's very easy for me to get distracted, and when I do I tend to lose interest in a project.
I've been living a very hermit-like existence for the last month or so. The lack of interpersonal contact is really driving me nuts. Unfortunately, most of my friends seem to be out of contact much of the time (the dot-com lifestyle I guess.) I have very little in common with most of my co-workers in my day job, and I find it difficult to have a deep conversation with many of them.

Any food we consume these days, unless it's organic, was almost certainly exposed to pesticides at some point. The use of pesticides on food crops has largely increased over the last century in America. In a Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study, pesticides were detected in 96 percent of blood and urine samples of more than 5,000 Americans age 6 and older. Pesticide prevalence in the US is higher than it's ever been and the toxicity of pesticides is unquestionable. These harmful chemicals have been linked to various health problems, such as skin, eye and lung irritation, brain and nervous system toxicity and hormone disruption.
Buying organic is the healthiest choice but with limited supply and high prices, purchasing all organic produce may not be possible for the average shopper. Luckily we now have some perspective on the world's most polluted produce with the annual "dirty dozen" list.
For the past 7 years the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a non-profit environmental health organization, has helped consumers who are concerned about pesticides on produce. Each year EWG scientists test conventionally grown (not organic) produce samples for pesticide residues and use data collected from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration. Analysts assemble a ranking of the fruits and vegetables that contain the greatest amount of pesticide residues called the "dirty dozen." This inventory helps consumers decide which organic fruits and vegetables to splurge on when they're shopping for produce. Similarly, a separate list is released of the non-organic produce with the least accumulation of potentially harmful pesticide residues called the "clean fifteen."
Dirty Dozen 2011 (buy organic when possible)
- Apples
- Celery
- Strawberries
- Peaches
- Spinach
- Nectarines (imported)
- Grapes (imported)
- Sweet bell peppers
- Potatoes
- Blueberries (domestic)
- Lettuce
- Kale/collard greens
Clean Fifteen 2011 (lowest amounts of pesticides)
- Onions
- Sweet corn
- Pineapples
- Avocado
- Asparagus
- Sweet peas
- Mangoes
- Eggplants
- Cantaloupe (domestic)
- Kiwi
- Cabbage
- Watermelon
- Sweet potatoes
- Grapefruit
- Mushrooms
You may be thinking that you're in the clear because you wash all of your fruits and veggies. While it's true that washing non-organic fruits and vegetables helps remove some chemical residues, washing produce only goes so far. Pesticides are also absorbed through the roots of plants so washing won't remove all risk of pesticide exposure. Plus, before the EWG tests any fruit or vegetable for pesticides, samples are washed and peeled. Produce is evaluated just as it would be consumed, making the "dirty dozen" and "clean fifteen" lists even more accurate.
But don't let the dirty dozen scare you. The health benefits of eating fruits and vegetables far outweigh any pesticide exposure risk. It's always best to choose organic when possible to limit your exposure to harmful levels of pesticides, but now you can choose your produce wisely and not break the bank in the process.
Since we're all exposed to harmful chemicals like pesticides, remember to do a total-body cleanse 2-4 times each year to help keep your detoxification processes in tip-top shape.

I just came from the bee yard and have a few questions. Heres what I found. I have 5 10 frame hives and one nuce in the bee/chicken fence. Four of the hives looked really good, busting over with bees, honey and pollen stores full in the super and queen is laying like a champ. I have 1 hive deep that I caught a swarm in a few months ago that is empty of all stores, thats right no honey not much pollen. Queen is laying wells lots of brood and eggs but outside comb is not so good just empty cells. I fed all my hive about 3 weeks ago at the same time but this is the only one I didn't put honey bee healthy in,wondered if mattered. Well I guess it did because they are the only ones that didn't touch the sugar water. I poured it out today because it was slimey and full of mold. Checked my nuc hive from a split that went queenless for a while and it is doing a little better but has lots of brood and a little stores.
1. What should I do about this swarm hive that has no stores?
- feed it and add the honey bee healthy
- move it some where else
- combine it with another strong hive
- leave it til after golden rod is done
- move it into a 5 frame nuc box
2. What should I do about the nuc I used a hive top feeder that was horrible bees got in under the lid and drown, mostly yellow jackets.
- should I try to feed
- should I combine with strong hive
- any other thoughts
I have been making my own boxes and though about makeing a double box that is the size of a 10 frame hive body that has 2 etrances front and back with a divider for each queen. maybe they could share the heat. Doeboy

According to a new government report, inadequate software testing costs the US economy $59.5 billion a year. How's that for proof that software testers perform a vital service? If you'd like to know how that number was derived, read on as Linda Hayes unwraps some of the methodology behind the study.
Editor's Note: The editors at StickyMinds saw this report and asked Linda to write a column about it. Special thanks to her for tackling the lengthy NIST report and delivering this column on short notice.
If you have been struggling with making a business case for more and better testing, you now have an ally in the form of the National Institute of Software and Technology (NIST), which is part of the Department of Commerce Technology Administration. In their 300+ page report released in May of this year, the NIST estimates that inadequate testing costs the US economy $59.5 billion a year.
As staggering as that amount is, I initially thought the number was too low, considering that USA Today previously estimated the annual loss at $100 billion. But then I realized that the NIST was strictly looking at the costs to developers and users of fixing defects and not to the costs to the business in the form of lost revenue or productivity. But whether it is $100 billion or $59.5 billion, as they say in Texas: A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you're talking about real money!
The NIST surveyed two industries that are heavily dependent on technology: transportation-manufacturing and financial-services. These two categories represent hard and soft goods: transportation-manufacturing systems are used to produce tangible goods, and financial-services systems are used to process electronic data. These differences account for some wide variations in the cost of defects, as you will see. The survey forms delivered to these industries are contained in one of the report appendices.
The report then proposes a taxonomy of costs for software developers and users. Developer costs include labor costs to find and fix bugs, as well as the supporting software, hardware, and external services (think consultants) costs. For users, the costs included the time and resources invested to select software and install it, and the ongoing maintenance costs to detect and repair defects and any damaged data.
The report is extensive and there's not room here to show you all of the findings. I'll mention a few especially for testers. One caveat: for purposes of the report, testers are lumped in with developers. Try to overlook that if you can, otherwise it may become distracting.
Early on, the report offers a definition of software testing that is—well, interesting. It says "Software testing is the process of applying metrics to determine product quality and the dynamic execution of software and the comparison of the results against predetermined criteria." This wording will probably launch the code review and walkthrough contingents into orbit. In defense of the report, though, it does go on about the difficulty in identifying and measuring quality attributes. At least they noticed.
Next, it refers to a 1995 book that estimates the allocation of effort within the development cycle at 40% for requirements analysis, 30% for design, and 30% for coding and testing. I don't know about you, but I think these numbers are wishful thinking. It also estimates that programmers spend 10% of their time testing, while software engineers spend 35%. The distinction between programmers and engineers is not spelled out, but I must be used to working with programmers.
But the real meat of the report, at least in my opinion, is when it gets down to costs. First it offers the observation that we have all heard before—the sooner you find defects, the less they cost to fix. They offer an example of 1X cost to fix a defect in requirements and analysis, 5X to find in coding and unit test, 10X in integration and system test, 15X in beta test, and 30X in post-release. I've seen them much higher—as much as 1000X in production-but whatever. The point is made.

Akon story gaining steam Update: audio added Update: Vent knocked offline at YouTube
posted at 11:31 am on May 3, 2007 by Bryan
Michelle was on the Laura Ingraham show earlier today to discuss rapper Akon's assault on a 15-year-old girl during a concert in Trinidad. We're hoping to get audio from the show to post, and it'll be here if/when we get it.
Meanwhile, if you missed yesterday's Vent about Akon and his various corporate sponsors, here it is. Click to play.
Michelle has a new post up about Akon, his "music" and his corporate enablers. Al Sharpton is holding a march for decency in hip hop today. He plans to banish the n-word, sexism and other vulgarities from hip hop. How about criticizing assault, Reverend?
Update: Here's audio from the Laura Ingraham show today, including Michelle and Laura's discussion of Verizon's mainstreaming Akon.
Update: Yesterday's Vent, which is the video above, dealt with Akon's assault and exposed the corporate giants who are mainstreaming his pornographic rap. We put that episode on YouTube to make sure the story reached as many people as possible, but Akon's corporate backers decided to claim a copyright infringement and force YouTube to yank the show. Michelle has details on that and what we plan to do about it here.
You may still watch the show above, and you may download an mpg4 version here. That's the iPod version, but it will play on any computer that has iTunes installed.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Ladies ladies, if your gonna fight... I get them all.
~If you can't turn the corners of your mouth up...let the middle sag!~
"Be not afraid, only believe."
ok, I havent trimmed them yet (edges and loose threads) and I am going to add a white border to make them 8.5, mainly because I dont like the butterfly being soooo close to the seam once they are sewn in so......
PS please forgive the camera quality lol
Live, Laugh & Love, for tomorrow may never come.
Ha ha ha! You guys are too funny!
Veronica, your butterflies are super cute!
Love the butterflies, very cute.
I need to learn how to paper piece.
Never tried it.
Never look down on anyone, unless you are helping them up.
Very cute butterfiles!
Lovely butterflies!

I am getting excited for this swap now as our weather starts to begin to act like spring, it's fun to see spring blocks! Can't wait to see what everyone posts! Pictures, everyone...keep em coming! We all love eye candy right???
Oh my goodness! They are all gorgeous!
Feel the fear and do it anyway!
Thought I'd post my flowers & ask a quick question.
My 2nd set are the flower tulips in purple & pink.
The posie flower pot, (on the left) I'm thinking of doing. I got it off the net, but it measures 4x7 1/4 inches. I could take off 1/8 inch both the top & the bottom to make it 4x7. What do you think? Do you like it or maybe I can do something else?
