In the Fall of 2000, the Fayette County Soil and Water Conservation District (FCSWCD), submitted a Section 319 Grant Application to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) to implement a 2-year public input process and develop a watershed management plan for the Garrison Creek watershed. Section 319 of the Federal Clean Water Act provides funding for various types of projects that work to reduce nonpoint source (NPS) water pollution.
A two-year grant in the sum of $89,000 was awarded to the FCSWCD from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM). The grant period was from June 2, 2001 through September 1, 2003. The Section 319 grant included the following requirements:
The FCSWCD Board of Supervisors chose to hire contract personnel to serve in the role of "watershed coordinator". The FCSWCD entered into a sub-contractual agreement with a professional environmental staffing company, Goode & Associates, Inc., whose specialty is water quality management, policy analysis, and watershed coordination. This subcontract allowed for twenty-one (21) months of coordination, meeting facilitation, water quality field sampling, map preparation, and various related coordination and management services. Goode & Associates, Inc. provided a watershed coordinator and a supporting watershed coordination team (referred to throughout this document) consisting of a land use planner, a biologist/water quality chemist, an agricultural specialist, a local government policy and regulatory specialist, and a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) mapping and database specialist. The lead representative from the watershed coordination team is referred to throughout this document as the "watershed coordinator."
The watershed coordination team drafted the Garrison Creek WMP, which meets the checklist requirements of the "What Needs to be in a Watershed Management Plan" FFY 2003.

MM&M's Best DTC Ads Ever
MM&M's Best DTC Ads Ever
The days of 350-million dollar TV spending may be gone, but top DTC campaigns must still be tied to unique insights. And, as Deborah Dick-Rath finds, the best are. Here's the top 10, based on an informal survey of industry leaders
DTC has evolved over the last few years to be a key marketing tool for successful pharmaceutical brands. This evolution reflects the growth of patient empowerment, the acceleration of the information age and, because of managed care, the decrease in time patients and physicians have to discuss options.
Sixteen years ago, when the FDA finally "allowed" pharmaceutical companies to advertise their Rx products "directly to consumers"—on TV and in magazines—those companies had no idea how to do it. They had built mega, multi-billion-dollar brands simply by having reps call on doctors. They had never used the mass communications techniques or emotional branding associated with consumer goods.
Also, in those days, the internet and online marketing were in their infancy. (Mark Zuckerberg was still in high school.) Yet, healthcare organizations wholeheartedly embraced this new opportunity to promote their Rx drugs and quickly developed research and modeling disciplines to prove out these new marketing investments.
For this month's DTC cover story, we conducted an informal survey of healthcare industry leaders in the marketing, media and advertising sectors to find out which DTC campaigns were most memorable—The Best—and why. The winners are not surprising. For the most part, they reflected large therapeutic categories and represent three large pharma companies—Merck, Pfizer and Novartis. Five of the top 10 ads used an anthropomorphic icon to deliver the story. Only one used a celebrity.
See if you agree with your colleagues' picks:
1 Vytorin: "Two Kinds of Cholesterol." This campaign from Merck and its agency DDB garnered the most votes. Everyone remembered the dual visuals that matched a food with a person, and most respondents commented on how this succinctly tied brand to benefit.
2 Claritin: "Blue Skies." A true DTC classic, complete with an Ella Fitzgerald and Irving Berlin accompaniment. This campaign was one of the first to be completely integrated across multiple channels with its "free breathing" clouds. Congrats to Ogilvy CommonHealth Worldwide's wide-ranging team of experts.
3 Zoloft: "Dot." This innovative campaign garnered many votes for its unique, empathetic and influential art direction. This beautiful campaign forever destigmatized a disease. As Adam Levine, SVP Strategy at Deutsch, comments, "It created a new standard for what DTC could be."
4 Lamisil: "Digger." An animated dermatophyte drove Novartis toenail fungus medicine to a billion-dollar franchise. It was an ad that everyone remembered—perhaps uncomfortably so. It was also a campaign with "legs" that even won attention on the talk shows.
5 Zelnorm: "Tummies." Just as music helped Claritin soar, Fatboy Slim helped Novartis' IBS drug stand out. The commercial provocatively showed sufferers raising their shirts to reveal hand-lettered symptomology on their tummies. Hard to forget.

Nicholls State quarterback Tuskani Figaro. (Associated Press)
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 23, 2013 10:11 PM
By Alex Hickey / American Press
Nicholls State's days of winning the Southland Conference superlative for "Team Most Likely To Be Shoved Into a Locker" are over.
The Colonels made the first indication they were finished being pushed around in the nonconference schedule, ending a two-year string of winless futility against Division I opponents in a big way by knocking off Football Bowl Subdivision Western Michigan in Week 2.
Nicholls (4-3, 1-1 Southland) also said good-bye to a two-year losing streak in conference games by topping Northwestern State to open its Southland schedule.
In his fourth year since taking over the program and turning an option offense into a pro-style attack, Colonels head coach Charlie Stubbs appears to have some pieces in place.
"As a whole team, we're making significant progress," Stubbs said. "We're pretty balanced with over 200 yards rushing and passing. We've faced adversity in the form of injuries. We've played four quarterbacks. We lost (top running back) Marcus Washington for the year, and little Dalton Hilliard stepped up and rushed for 100 yards last week.
"In the past, when we suffered injuries we didn't have capable replacements. Now we're not dropping off that far."
The most capable replacement has been quarterback Tuskani Figaro, who has the legs of an option quarterback while still running Stubbs' offensive scheme.
Figaro is the conference's third-leading rusher behind running backs Marcus Wiltz of McNeese State and Sam Houston State's Timothy Flanders with an average of 110.2 yards per game. That ability opens up the passing game for Figaro, who is fourth in the league in passing efficiency.
Just remember, he's supposed to be the guy on the bench.
Kalen Henderson, who led the Colonels over Western Michigan before leaving late in the game with an injury, returned for some snaps for the first time in last week's 55-41 loss at Stephen F. Austin.
Stubbs said both will see playing time this week.
"Figaro has done a great job of running the offense, and they've incorporated some runs in," said McNeese head coach Matt Viator. "Henderson is a Tulsa transfer out of East St. John and also a very good player. They're kind of similar in what they do in that they're both athletic quarterbacks that move around."
On defense, Nicholls' success is contingent on confusing opponents. The Colonels mix thee- and four-man fronts with regularity and shift players around the back end to keep the opposing quarterback guessing.
"They're the most multiple team you'll play — ever," Viator said.
It hasn't always worked. Nicholls is last in the conference against the run, allowing an average of 298 yards per game.
Of course, playing Oregon to start the season has the probability to throw one's stats out of wack. But the Colonels are still giving up 262 rushing yards a game to teams that are not the Ducks.
"It all starts with stopping the run," Stubbs said. "We haven't been able to do that consistently."
Now that they've proven to be competitive, "consistency" is the Colonels' new buzzword.
"If we can get consistent, we can be very good," Stubbs said.

I managed to snag one of the 1986 Tula Krinkov kits they have for sale over at Rguns. I know, based on other forums, that people have built up that kit using Bluejack's barrels.
I was wondering if anyone knew anything about them... I am currently searching for a barrel for this build and this seems like the most convenient option.
After the barrel, I'm going to buy the NodakSpud sidefolder receiver whenever they get them back in stock. Then, apply for my SBR tax stamp. Then build.
As far as I know, RGuns still has those kits available. If you have the money and are considering a Krink build, jump on it. I got it in the mail yesterday, and I swear to God I have never seen anything more beautiful in my life. It was in pristine condition, all matching serial numbers.
id still like to SEE one of Jacks barrels. LMAO

Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport, April 1, 2011—A Vision Airlines Boeing 737-400 jet made its first appearance at the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR) today, inaugurating the jet service from BTR to Destin/Ft. Walton Beach with continuing service to Orlando.
The Vision Airlines 737-400 taxied beneath an arch of water as two BTR fire rescue vehicles welcomed the inbound flight with a "water cannon salute." Vision Airlines will operate flights three days per week from Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR) to Northwest Florida Regional Airport (VPS), utilizing a 148-seat Boeing 737-400 aircraft and a 30-seat Dornier 328 aircraft. The Baton Rouge flights also provide one-stop service to the Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB). The BTR flights will operation on Fridays, Saturdays, and Mondays.
Encompassing the southern sea towns of Destin • Fort Walton Beach • Okaloosa Island, Northwest Florida's Emerald Coast has something for everyone, from basking on 24 miles of shockingly-white shoreline and teeing off on more than 1,080 challenging holes, to casting lines in the fish-filled waters of the "World's Luckiest Fishing Village" and watching dolphins dance at the state's oldest marine park, Florida's Gulfarium.
"We are pleased that Vision Airlines chose to include Baton Rouge as part of their major expansion into scheduled commercial passenger service," stated Mayor Pro Tem Mike Walker during his speech for the inaugural flight celebration guests and passengers. "Securing low-cost airline service has been a priority for our airport; and Vision Airlines now gives us low-fare flights to 2 of our most popular destinations in Destin/Ft. Walton Beach and Orlando—eliminating long layovers in connecting cities." Mr. Walker emphasized the importance of supporting the new service, including the impact strong passenger support could have in any decision Vision Airlines may make regarding additional destinations from Baton Rouge.
Clay Meek, Director of Sales & Marketing for Vision Airlines, encouraged area residents to visit the Vision Airlines website or call their reservations center for more information on flights and hotel
packages. Vision offers discount hotel and rental car packages via their website,
www.visionairlines.com, or through their reservations department at 1-877-FLY-A-JET.

@ $99 they would be worth a try. a decent stock and LPK would cost that much.
i"m still not crazy about the carbon-fiber lowers. ever see a carbon fiber rotor come "unglued"? they like to fail at the worst possible times--LOL!
if there brittle-- i would worry about where the buffer tube attaches to the lower--that area is where poorly cast or improperly cured carbon lowers break off most of the time.
i have been running a cav-arms polymer lower for the past couple years. it is a soft but rigid type of ABS/nylon. so far it has held up well enough.
buy a couple of um and bury them i the back yard!
this is a vulcan CF i am thinking--broke right where the rear pin goes through the lower.
maybe they come up with a fix after all these years???
what is a 'plumcrazy" lower made from anyways?

Reviews of this property
We have had a pleasent stay with Elsa. She was very nice and hopitable. The room was neat and clean. It was close to the centre. The breakfast was well organized. We loved it! Thanks Elsa for the visit.
Elsa Maria was an amazing host. She recommended us all the good places in Rome and when we met her once in a while she always smiled at us and wanted to talk to us. Elsa is an amazing host and we would diffenetely recommend her. And despite our tiny understanding of italien we always understood each other.
The room was amazing to. A little balcony where you could sit with your morning or evening coffee. All in all it was the best stay.
Elsa was an absolute delight.
She received us with open arms, had a map for us, pointed out everything we wanted to know, and more.
The room was wonderful, it is indeed super close to the Colosseum. The entrance of the building is quite impressive, with the marmer floors and antique elevator.
Every night we would come back after a day of beautiful Rome to a nice tight cleaned room and made bed.
She does charge an extra 3,50 per person, per night as some sort of city tax, which I saw on wimdu more people charge in Rome. So that must be normal?
I would recommend staying at Elsas place any time.
We had a wonderful time in BEAUTIFUL Rome.
It was a perfect stay with Elsa in a very comfortable apartement within a beautiful quarter of Rome. Great!
Nice staying at a lovely lady's apartment, very close to the city centre and the Colosseum. Good restaurants around, metro not far. Quite ideal.
Elsa was very friendly from that reserve has been in contact with us all the time solving any doubts, the room and bathroom were always clean and tidy. The location in a quiet but central area, would usually walk everywhere. Very good breakfast.
Elsa ha sido muy amable, desde que reservamos ha estado en contacto con nosotros todo el tiempo resolviendo cualquier duda, la habitación y el baño siempre estaban limpios y ordenados. La ubicación en una zona muy tranquila pero centrica, íbamos casi siempre andando a todas partes. El desayuno muy bueno.
Elsa we had a great time. The room was spacious, the bathroom also, did not lack anything, it seemed to be at home!
The breakfast we were served in a bar alla'angolo of the road, the guys were very kind and the croissants ... great! The location was central, a 5-minute walk (or less) you arrive at the Coliseum. We could move on foot, because of its central location made it unnecessary to use the means.
When we arrived Elsa even gave us a map and gave us a lot of useful information for visiting Rome at its best. Following his advice, we had a great time. I recommend to stay in this room at all. It is a perfect solution for those who want to live right in the heart of Rome.
Da Elsa ci siamo trovate benissimo. La camera era spaziosa, il bagno anche, non mancava proprio niente, sembrava di essere a casa!
La colazione ci veniva servita in un bar alla'angolo della strada, i ragazzi erano gentilissimi e le brioches...ottime! La posizione era centralissima, in 5 minuti a piedi (o anche meno) si arrivava al Colosseo. Abbiamo potuto muoverci sempre a piedi, perché la posizione centralissima rendeva inutile l'utilizzo dei mezzi.
Quando siamo arrivate Elsa ci ha anche fornito una mappa della città e ci ha dato un sacco di indicazioni utili per visitare Roma al meglio. Seguendo le sue indicazioni, ci siamo trovate benissimo. Consiglierei di soggiornare in questa stanza a tutti. È una soluzione perfetta per chi vuole vivere davvero la città di Roma.
Very well located near the Coliseum, the room is big and clean. No access to a kitchen and fridge. Elsa is very nice and considerate.
Trés bien situé pres du Colisé, le chambre est grande et propre. Pas d'accés à un coin cuisine et frigo. Elsa est très sympa et prévenante.
If you Elsa is wonderfully housed. The location is ideal, a few minutes from the Colosseum and around the corner from San Clemente.Obgleich the house is in a lively area, the room is on the 2nd floor overlooking a landscaped with trees and shrubs courtyard absolutely quiet. The whole house is well maintained and the room decorated wunderhübsch. The bed is hard and of course you share bathroom and toilet with a second guest. That will more than offset by the friendliness of Elsa, the hinweist.- with great kindness on the most beautiful things in the city, we would like to stay there again.
Bei Elsa ist man wunderbar untergebracht. Die Lage ist ideal, wenige Minuten vom Colosseum und um die Ecke von San Clemente.Obgleich das Haus in einem lebhaften Stadtteil liegt, ist das Zimmer im 2. Stock mit Blick auf einen mit Bäumen und Büschen begrünten Innenhof absolut still. Das ganze Haus ist sehr gepflegt und das Zimmer wunderhübsch eingerichtet. Das Bett ist freilich hart und man teilt Bad und Toilette mit einem zweiten Gast. Das wird aber mehr als aufgewogen durch die Freundlichkeit von Elsa, die mit großer Liebenswürdigkeit auf die schönsten Dinge der Stadt hinweist.- Wir würden gerne wieder dort wohnen.
Great atmosphære and close to everything
We had a great stay with Elsa i Rom. Before we even arrived, we have had an good correspondence by mail. Elsa was very helfpul. We had an warm welcome, as we were close friends or relatives coming on a visit to her private residence. Elsa were through all our stay helpful or ready to help if we need it. Elsa was easy to understand even we didn´t speak Italien, and she didn´t speek english.
Our room was authentic Italian, cozy, clean and quitely with . It has what we recommend of hairdryer, jug, instant coffé and the. Every they we had a ticket to breakfast by a local café. After the 1 day it was closed because of holiday, which we ´not were told. We don´t believe Elsa knew it either, because the last day we had a ticket to another café. It could be nice to have a small refrigerator in the room for milk, water, chease etc. so it was possible to make our own breakfast before a long days walk in the lovely Rom.
We will defently recommend Elsa for others and could also see ourselves coming back to Elsa and Rom.
Crazie Elsa

- The game itself is a side-scrolling puzzle game, and thus has a camera suited to that.
- The game is presented without words, and so there will be no dialogue (grunts, wordless screams, breaths, etc. are okay)
- Can produce animated cutscenes, but sparsely (will only be included while acquiring items/major story points)
So far, my ideas are as follows:
- Have the enemies eventually begin to sob/act afraid of you towards the end, creating uncertainty over reality.
- Have a rare breed of enemy that is invincible to anything. Can kill you instantly, but moves at a slow rate (think Slender or SCP).
- Areas in which being seen creates a deadly chaos of enemies that must be escaped.
- Creating an enemy type/boss that would be seen as controversial to attack (eg: innocent-looking children)
- Bodies strewn about, sometimes housing an enemy type.
- Rooms that come before important parts, left completely silent compared to the other rooms, making suspense.
- Avoiding presenting the mysterious threat at the beginning of the game, until enough buildup.
- Being unable to attack, forcing flight instead of fight.
- Offering fewer save points, and giving lower non-recovering HP on player, to make death more of a fear. (debating)
I check fairly frequently, so if you require anything on my part, I'll try to help clarify or explain!

|GTA V Latest News | #GTAV | #GTAOnline
2007 Xbox 360 UK Details
Grand Theft Auto IV - General News | @ 01:51 PM MDT | By Slim Trashman
Nothing really new here, but the preview goes more in depth and in greater detail about what they saw in the demo:
• A Near Collision between two cars caused a pedestrian to proclaim loudly "That was f***ed up"
• As Niko approached several people milling in a large group, he sort weaved in and out of them. At one point, he even pushed a pedestrian gently out of his way.
• As Niko continued descending a small hill further down the road, we noticed the way his weight seemed to shift backwards a little, as though he was saving himself from just pitching forwards and setting off into a run. He looked exactly like someone walking down a hill does.
• Another example of the wight shifting was shown later, when Niko began running - looking much like a normal person does instead of some unrealistic video game representation. He leaned a little to the left and right, depending on which direction Rockstar took him, rather than his top half staying stationary and only his legs moving, as per previous GTA games.
• The sight of Niko just walking up some steps managed to impress too.
• The Rockstar team did inform us that that fire escapes and other stuff can be used within the game. We saw a ton of these around Broker and we're sure they'll come in handy, at least in terms of roof access for sniping missions in the finished game, if sniper missions remain, of course.
• Rather than the rags to riches story of old games, GTA IV looks more like a rags to better rags story. The idea is ostensibly for Niko Bellic to keep afloat in Liberty City, rather than walking the streets with tons of cash dripping out of every pocket. After all, if Niko had accumulated over half a million dollars, it's a little far fetched for him to want to carry out other missions. He'd be set for life from that point on and could provide for both himself and his brother. We therefore imagine GTA IV will have a much more realistic approach to funds and how much you'll ultimately have to spend them throughout the game.
• Little focus on building business empires this time - it makes no sense to continue living a criminal life if you're pulling in lucrative results at your pizza parlor, nightclub or taxi rank.
• Unlike other GTAs, IV will have a lesser known voice cast and music that isn't distinctly popular or obvious to the 2007 settings. Expect many unsigned bands or indies to show up.

University of Colorado Boulder Professor Andrew Hamilton, doggedly determined to go where no man has gone before, continues to fascinate the public with his stunning and scientifically sound visualizations that take viewers into the guts of black holes.
Hamilton, a fellow at JILA, a joint institute of CU-Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology and CU-Boulder, said his fascination with black holes began in the late 1990s. Hamilton's research on the compelling stellar objects since has led him to create a number of riveting and popular video animations and visualizations.
In 2006, "Black Holes, the Other Side of Infinity," for which Hamilton was the science director, made its debut at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Funded in part by NOVA, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, NASA and the National Science Foundation, the show features sophisticated and surprising virtual journeys inside black holes and has gone on to be one of the most popular programs of its kind of all time – it has been translated into at least 10 languages around the world.
Narrated by film star Liam Neeson, the "digital dome" program visualizations were created using Hamilton's "Black Holes Flight Simulator," a package of supercomputing calculations, high-tech computer gaming software and century-old math equation solutions by Albert Einstein regarding quantum mechanics and gravity.
The 2006 companion piece shown on the PBS show NOVA, titled "Monster of the Milky Way," takes the viewer inside supermassive black holes believed to dwell in the center of virtually all galaxies, including our own. In addition to being a co-science advisor, and creating most of the visualizations with his Black Hole Flight Simulator, Hamilton was the key on-air expert, exuding his British charm.
A professor in CU-Boulder's astrophysical and planetary sciences department, Hamilton said supermassive black holes, which contain millions to billions of times the mass of Earth's sun and appear to be at the center of virtually every galaxy, act pretty much the same as an ordinary black hole only two or three times the mass of our sun, he says. Both are voracious regions so powerful that nothing, not even light, can escape.
More recently, Hamilton produced a visualization that takes travelers into and through a Reissner-Nordstrum black hole -- an object with mass and electric charge but no spin. After free falling over the outer horizon, you reach the black hole's inner horizon (which theoretically would vaporize you). But Hamilton's visualization lets you survive the trip and be greeted by an infinitely bright and energetic burst of light "containing the entire history of the universe," he says.
Even more mind-blowing, the traveler then enters a wormhole --a hypothetical tunnel connecting two widely separated regions of space-time -- inside the black hole's inner horizon, a place where Hamilton says "space slows down, and accelerates you back out again towards the radius of the inner horizon." Once there, you see a second infinitely bright, energetic flash of light, where you see the entire future of the universe go by.
Still there? Then you are deposited at the entrance of a white hole, a "time-reversed" version of a black hole where space falls outward at a speed faster than light. As you pass through the outer horizon of the white hole, you see a third infinitely bright, energetic burst of light containing the entire past history of a new universe.
Turning around and looking back at the white hole, you see the light from your original universe that has traversed the same journey as you -- through the black hole, through the wormhole, through the white hole, into a new universe. Whew.
Although Hamilton's visualizations are accurate renderings of an exact mathematical solution according to the fundamental laws of general relativity, that solution is known to be violently unstable at its inner horizon - the entrance to the wormhole - and would not occur in reality, he points out. And he does lace his black hole video creations projects with scientific caveats, including this one: "Warning: If you fall in a black hole you will die. You will not go through a wormhole to another time and place."
"It's been a merry ride," says Hamilton, who teaches a popular undergraduate class at CU-Boulder for non-science majors titled "Black Holes" and still does regular interviews, including a recent one with a curious Denver middle-schooler. "This black hole stuff is something society seems to want, and at my advanced age I'm obligated to give it," he says. But don't let him fool you: The athletic, 60-year-old Hamilton is anything but geezer. He still rides his mountain bike to campus, even in the snow.

2014 Voter Turnout: GOP Has Advantage, But It's Not 2010
The 2014 primary season, now more than half over, has been notable for its fierce and frequent intraparty battles among Republicans. It's been a messy sight, but the clashes may have had one salutary effect for the GOP: spurring turnout among the party faithful. Republicans across the country have been roused from midterm political slumbers to vote in competitive primaries of national as well as local consequence.
The Rhodes Cook Letter, a nonpartisan political report, has analyzed turnout in 25 states that had held primaries by the end of June and found that 9.66 million Republicans and 8.28 million Democrats had voted–a 1.38 million edge for the GOP.

- Hedge Fund Founder Steve Cohen Gave Big to Boost Republican Governors
The higher GOP turnout reflects a number of factors that bode both well and ill for the party: GOP voters have been driven to the polls by both enthusiasm for defeating Democrats–and by disagreements among themselves.
"Factional infighting .. can attract voters, and the Republicans have that this year in spades." Mr. Cook writes. "Yet ultimately, a significant primary turnout can be a sign of voter enthusiasm and a harbinger of which party may have the turnout advantage in the fall."
While most of the biggest battles of the 2014 primary season are over — including the marquee battles between the GOP establishment and tea-party-backed candidates in Senate races in Kentucky, South Carolina and Mississippi — some important primaries remain to be held this summer.
In Georgia and Alaska, Republicans have yet to choose their nominees for battleground Senate races. Georgia Republicans hold a July 22 runoff to pick between two candidates to run against Democrat Michelle Nunn for the state's open Senate seat. Alaska Republicans decide Aug. 19 which of three nominees will run against Sen. Mark Begich, considered one of the year's most vulnerable Democrats.
In Kansas and Tennessee, two more Senate Republicans are in summer contests against tea-party challengers. On Aug. 5, Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts faces a challenge from physician Milton Wolf — in a campaign that has been marked by gaffes from both candidates. In Tennessee on Aug. 7, Sen. Lamar Alexander faces a conservative challenger, state Rep. Joe Carr.
Democrats in Hawaii Aug. 9 host one of their rare family feuds, in a Senate primary fight between Sen. Brian Schatz, appointed to the seat after the 2012 death of Sen. Daniel Inouye, and Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, whose appointment had been the senator's his deathbed wish.
Low turnout could be a wildcard in these primaries in the dog days of July and August — especially in a year where voter enthusiasm is generally low. The Cook analysis found that 2014 turnout so far has fallen short of the tidal wave of interest in the 2010 midterms. So far, 17.6 million have voted in major party primaries this year, compared with 21.1 million at this point in 2010.
That is a 16% drop, which Mr. Cook says could be "the voters' way of saying to both the Democrats and Republicans, a pox on both your houses."
But the summer heat alone won't inevitably depress turnout. The temperature reached into the 80s on June 24 when Mississippi held its runoff election between Sen. Thad Cochran and state Sen. Chris McDaniel, and still turnout — more than 375,000 voters — exceeded the nearly 290,000 who voted in the state's 2012 primary when the GOP presidential nomination was still at stake.
"There is something about the summer that depresses turnout," said Mark McDonald a University of Florida political scientist who has studied voter turnout. "But primaries are so idiosyncratic. A lot of the turnout has to do with candidates."

Rash of armed robberies frustrate Pueblo police
10 holdups reported since New Year's Eve
PUEBLO, Colo. - First it was an increase in home burglaries, then a series of shootings involving police officers. Now, Pueblo is experiencing a rise in armed robberies.
Since New Year's Eve, police said, there have been ten hold-ups -- three involving individuals and seven involving businesses. No one was hurt during the crimes, police said, and robberies rose 8 percent between 2011 and 2012.
The most recent holdups happened Monday. Police said a suspect used a rifle to rob J.R.'s Country Store near Interstate 25 and Abriendo Avenue, and the Fashion Hotline clothing store on Northern Avenue was robbed.
Police say the trend began on Dec. 30, when someone used a machete in a holdup at Pueblo Records & Tapes on Pueblo Boulevard. Two days later, the Smoker Friendly tobacco store across the street was robbed.
Elaine Mascarenas was working at Smoker Friendly when it happened.
"He just ran towards me waving a gun," she said. "He told me to give him the money. He took some cartons of cigarettes, too. I was praying to God that he wouldn't shoot me. I still haven't gotten over it."
Police said they aren't sure whether one suspect, or several, is involved. But police said in most cases, the suspect wears a mask, has his head covered with a hood, and carries a handgun. Police seek the public's help to find who's responsible for the crimes.
"We don't have any information on a vehicle that this person is possibly running into, or if he's taking off on foot, or if somebody's driving him away, or if somebody's waiting for him outside," said Sgt. Eric Gonzales. "But he's disappearing pretty quick."
Three more businesses were robbed, all along U.S. 50 -- a Subway restaurant near the Troy Avenue intersection; Adolfo's Mexican restaurant near the Outlook Boulevard intersection; and a nearby Dairy Queen.
Police said they have surveillance video from some of the robbed businesses, but the images aren't clear enough to make identifying a suspect easy. Recent shootings and burglaries keep officers busy and unable to devote more resources to solving the robberies, police said.
Contact Pueblo police if you have any information about the recent robberies.

Carrie from Little Lemon Tree contacted me asking for me to review a diaper for her. She sent me this cute Ooga Booga print OS diaper.
This diaper features a snap down rise, 2 rows of waist snaps, and elastic across the back and legs.
The inside of the diaper is made with suede cloth which is nice and soft.
I was sent a microfiber insert as well as a bamboo terry doubler. The microfiber insert has a snap down on it so you can snap it down to fit into the small rise settings of the diaper shell. I didn't get a picture of the bamboo doubler but it is super soft and trim.Here is my 28 pound 20 month old wearing the Little Lemon Tree diaper. This diaper has shorter wings than my other diapers which with why it looks like its smaller on him. Instead of the tabs being more in the middle like my other brands this one is more towards the outside...don't mind the off centered snap job...my son never holds still for me to get diapers on! We also have this on the middle rise setting.
Here's his cute little fluffy bottom! It looks a little poofy but it actually had a great fit and wasn't bulky at all.So far, we have had success with this diaper. I think pretty much every time I have taken this diaper off my son it has been filled...like poopy filled! Sorry for the TMI, but we aren't talking solid poo, we're talking poo that was soft and everywhere EXCEPT for out of the diaper. That's right. It held all that nasty inside the diaper. I think my boy has claimed this as his 'business' diaper! Anyway, we are enjoying this diaper a lot, the print is a lot of fun, it has a great fit, and has had no leak issues for us. We haven't tried it out for nap time but I am pretty positive that with the doubler it would work great for nap time.
Would you like to purchase a Little Lemon Tree diaper? Head to their Hyena Cart store to check them out and make a purchase!

isn't any attempt to change another's behavior based on some implicit or explicit code of normative ethics? Are you not making yourself an example here through the point your making. On what basis do you despise that type of person? You must think you're...above them? Further, discussion does not necessarily have to be combative; which is to say, do you think you have all the answers? Are you really not open to another's perspective? When one posits an opinion there is not always an inherent hierarchy; difference does not imply stratification.
For future reference.....when you are trying to change someone's behavior based on your own moral code....you are implying that your standards are above theirs. And I despise that type of person.

@mtnrunnerLocale: Utah
I was curious how you guys stay in shape for long backpacking trips? Personally I do a bit of trail running. For those that participate in things like the Bob Open where you might be putting in 30+ mile days with a pack, how do you stay in shape? Do you run? Or maybe you just spend a lot of time in the mountains? I got to thinking about this while reading the Bob Open reports.Jun 14, 2013 at 10:44 am #1996633
David ChenaultSpectator
@davecLocale: The West Slope
Jeff, I'll answer this specifically in the context of prep for the Open.
There are several levels of prep which need to be considered for multiday endurance stuff. We're talking about meta-cycles physiologically which take years to run their course. It's not just a matter of train this now and get the benefits next month.
It's beneficial to have years of regular exercise outside to build an ultra endurance base. Your muscles, connective tissue, metabolism, and mind will all become acclimated to putting demands on your body day after day. The great thing is that this is fun and easy training, just get outside a lot and do hard trips often. The physiological and psychological gains generalize well across sports. Skiing and cycling are fine base training for backpacking, etc.
As you get down to 3-6 months out from the event, specificity takes over. Nothing prepares you for hiking with a 30 pound pack like hiking with a 30 pound pack. Nothing prepares you for the demands of walking on uneven terrain like walking on uneven terrain.
For my own part, I did lots of multiday ski trips, mostly nordic, over the winter. This was what I would have been doing anyway. On non-research trips I'd often bring luxury food or other un-needed stuff just to have a heavier pack for better training. Starting in mid-March I started seeking out all the dirt hiking trips I could, which meant traveling a bit on weekends to find non-snowy trails. Then in the month before the Open I did three consecutive weekends of 2 day backpacking and packrafting trips, which involved plenty of postholing, deadfall slogging etc. These honed the edge by mimicking the demands on the event. The last weekend I didn't do anything physical, but recharged physically by eating very well and psychologically by spending lots of social time with friends and family. If you're going to be alone in the woods it is good to have all these tanks topped off first.
The Open wasn't a primary performance goal, so what I didn't do is add in intensity workouts during the week in the months leading up. If it had been an A event I'd have been doing 5 minute interval repeats hiking fast up a steep hill with a 20 pound pack. I'll be starting those next week in order to prep for a trip in mid-August.Jun 14, 2013 at 10:52 am #1996634

"I was curious how you guys stay in shape for long backpacking trips? Personally I do a bit of trail running. For those that participate in things like the Bob Open where you might be putting in 30+ mile days with a pack, how do you stay in shape? Do you run? Or maybe you just spend a lot of time in the mountains? I got to thinking about this while reading the Bob Open reports."
The bob open was my big trip this spring that gave me motivation to train all winter. Prior years I had GC R2R2R, the PCT and the Tahoe Rim Trail. How to stay fit for 30 mile days in the Bob? Hike 42 mile days in the weeks leading on the AT. About every two weeks I was doing a weekend section of the AT that included a very long day each weekend. I normally will train much harder than I know it will take for the actual event. For example, I did not want any one of my days on the PCT to be one of the top 5 hardest hiking days. Not sure i succeeded but I came pretty close.
Also, not knowing the conditions I would face in the Bob I varied the training conditions and made sure I had plenty of rain and snow. High mileage hiking is as much of a mental challenge as physical and this was the mental part of the training. The 5 toughest day theory also combats mental weakness, as tough as a day may be, you know you have had far tougher.
Bottom line the best way to train for 30mpd is to hike 30mpd or greater. If you are looking to sustain 30mpd then I believe you should target 45 mile days for single hiking days in training. (Train 150% of desired daily sustain hiking pace.). My theory, but it has held very true for me over the years.Jun 14, 2013 at 12:06 pm #1996664

My only training was about 5 weekend trips during the spring and either walk home from work (~5 miles and over a steep hill) and/or the stairmill at the gym once or twice a week — but I was probably in the worst shape of all participants. If we were treating it like a race or if it was a longer hike with the same daily mileage, I probably would have trained much harder.Jun 14, 2013 at 12:27 pm #1996673

Thanks for the input. Very informative. Interesting that none of you incorporate trail running. Maybe this summer I will start doing more hiking with lots of vert and less running. Get burned out sometimes and need to mix it up.Jun 14, 2013 at 12:59 pm #1996681

If you would have asked the same question relative to the R2R2R I would have answered that I trained by doing 40 mile trail runs on the AT. Different event, different goals. I do believe that trail running can play a big role in hiking fitness. For folks who don't have the free time to hike every other weekend then mile for mile I believe trail running is one of the best trail fitness methods around especially for UL folks who's pack weight won't really be much of a barrier. I was writing my response as David posted his. One point that he brought up was the level,of training for this event. Like David I didn't go full out in training for the Bob because I was pretty confident that I could finish with my desired time window. But if this was more of a competitive event and a fast time was the goal then I would have added some very intense mid week workouts into the mix. My all time favorite is this treadmill routine.
Warmup at 3mph, .5 incline.
Increase to 4.5mph by increments of .5mph every minute.
At 4.5 mph increase incline by 1deg every minute until you can't keep up. (This is the point to track, typically 12-15deg)
At 4.5 mph decrease incline by 1 deg every minute until back at .5 deg.
Start speed routine
At .5 deg and 4.5 mph, increase speed by .1mph until you can't go any faster. This is a walk, not run.
Decrease speed by .1mph until back down to 4.5
Cool down
When I want serious pain and punishment I also add this set before cool down.
Speed set at 6-6.5mph increase incline by .5deg until it is impossible to increase
Decrease incline back to .5deg
I have had great success using this routine a couple of times per week to maintain hiking fitness level. It is very intense by design.Jun 14, 2013 at 4:55 pm #1996751

I've had mixed results at trying to get fit in preparation for a specific trip. Sometimes I do an okay job at it, sometimes life intervenes and I can't (and/or don't). The great thing about a long backpacking trip, so long as you're not in really bad shape starting out and your pack isn't too heavy — is that you can literally walk yourself fit on the trail.
Takes me at least 2 weeks into a trip, and more typically 3 or even a bit more to get into trail shape, depending on my starting condition, but it definitely works.
Obviously it's a bit more pleasant starting out (especially if starting with fit companions) if I've done some prep work beforehand. For me that boils down to doing a lot of local walking, adding a pack and doing a couple of local hikes with weight on my back maybe a week before.Jun 16, 2013 at 7:50 am #1997110

I'm an ultra runner and fastpacker/backpacker.
And while there is cross over for general fitness, I find carrying a pack, even a 12-15 lb pack works my body much differently. Throw in a set of poles along with the pack and its a much different workout.
A good deal of specificity in training would help to optimize the results for either pursuit.Jun 16, 2013 at 9:21 am #1997127

Personally, I would do the bulk of the aerobic conditioning by running trail consistently many weeks/months out prior to a trip/event and then do rest days (non-run/active recovery days) hiking with a pack on to build the strength (you could also substitute a pack with body weight exercises and/or weights). You get far more effective training/fitness "bang for your buck" going out on a long moderately paced trail run than you do a hike. If running is what you enjoy most, do that. I don't think you really need to go replicate what you intend to do, in this case long multi day/high mileage hiking days, to stay in shape. Doing so requires considerably more time and access. If you're fit, you're fit. Adaptability comes with that.
I think of the Hardrock 100 finishers, who tackle an incredibly demanding course with a tremendous amount of gain/loss. The majority of them are runners and train for the race by running. As you may know, that course is not a typical "running" course, yet many do well out there hiking the long climbs and passes. Save your hiking sessions for the steep climbs on your runs where you're more than likely to go anaerobic anyways.Jun 16, 2013 at 9:35 am #1997135
Art …BPL Member
Eugene – for the aerobic conditioning I generally agree with you. but I find that running long miles leaves my upper body and core pretty weak relative to carrying a pack and using poles. I guess it depends how long it takes to whip your upper body in to shape as the event/project approaches. If the event requires carrying a pack then upper body strength/endurance may be more important than aerobic conditioning.
I did a project some years back that was minimally aerobic, but by the end of day 3 my back was so wasted I could barely function. Hence my suggestion for project specificity.
carrying a pack can also be excellent aerobic training if you focus primarily on long hills.Jun 16, 2013 at 9:57 am #1997143

Not having gone on any long hikes, I can't say what I do works for them. Being in my 60s, I'm mainly concerned with not losing what fitness I have, rather becoming superman! My regular routine is twice a week to throw on a 25# pack (equivalent to a week-long trip), and hike up and down the local suburban hills for an hour plus. Twice a week, I ride my bike for a similar amount of time. And once a week I go on a longer jaunt, either bike or hike. I also do Hillfit and a few free weights regularly to maintain core and limb strength.Jun 16, 2013 at 11:13 am #1997171

The best method is to hike a lot, and prepping for a long trip would include carry a similarly loaded pack that would be used on a long trip. More intense workouts can lead to injuries that might cause one to have to cancel the planned trip. My philosophy is that if I don't have time to hike almost everyday, then it is time to change something in my life.Jun 16, 2013 at 11:37 am #1997178

+1 to Dave C.'s comment, especially regarding "meta-cycles".
People likely don't think long-term enough. Granted, we have to start somewhere, but long term base building and experience seems to be key to me. In my experience, my body has a long-term memory for certain types of work it has done over the years.
I learned this on a 100 mile road ride a few years ago. I used to do a lot (read: years) of distance road cycling in the 100 to 250 mile range. And then I stopped. A student invited me to ride a century with him probably two years after I had stopped seriously riding. I completed it fine and comfortably without any real specific training leading up to it. I still had decent cardio from running and I believe my body simply remembered the riding without having to get too specific during the lead up.
It seems that I'm now able to do that with distance hiking. I did enough distance running/hiking in the past that I could hike a hard 40 miles tomorrow comfortably enough without any specific training for it. I'm certainly not as fast (not that I've ever been that fast) as I am when I train for an event specifically, but the base is there. If the long-term base is there, then everything will fall into place quickly in the short term training cycle.
One thing I have to question is how much the "long-term base" is actually (or partially) a psychological function akin to having "been there, done that" and knowing how to accept discomfort.Jun 17, 2013 at 6:44 am #1997371

trail running imho has got to be the best bang for you buck (read time) in prepping for longer hikes- works on your balance, strengthens your core, works all those small accessory muscles/tendons/ligaments and obviously increases your aerobic capacity
where a 25 mile hike, depending on terrain, might take 7-9 hours, a run about half that
if you have the time, then carrying the intended pack (and weight) over the exact terrain would ultimately be the best training, but most of us don't have that kind of time
if your long hikes include rough terrain or steep terrain (or often both :) ), then I think its important to incorporate that aspect into your training- if all of your long runs are along a flat river, then you will very likely have some troubles in steep, rough terrain
I do agree that a good solid base (which takes years to develop) is definitely something worth striving for if you want to tackle lots of long distance stuff- hiking, biking or running
I also think it's important to put some effort into strength training, doesn't need to be hardcore weight lifting, but a good regime of bodyweight exercises- all the ones that have "ups" in them :) can go a long way in helping w/ long hikes (and runs for that matter)
as a real life example, my wife has been running for about 6 months, ever so slowly building up her mileage and mixing in a fair amount of hill work- she ran a trail 10k last weekend and two days later we did a rather grueling 19 mile out and back ascent (~ 4000') of a local peak that included 2-3 miles of some tough snow work- my point, 6 months ago she wouldn't have been able to successfully tackle this hikeJun 18, 2013 at 10:21 pm #1997938

I work out at least every other day, religiously for 15 years now, I'm 49 In the summer, I'm most active, maybe 5-7 days a week, just depends.
I do these every other day, never miss, ever…
yoga BEFORE EVERY workout, at least 15 minutes. Might be the best thing I do.
10 minute trainer workouts with Tony Hornet
Stationary bike in basement & watch TV
Lean muscle lifting weights, mostly hi rep 12s,15s, and 20lb dumb bells
Extra weekly workouts include…
Hardcore Mt biking outings 3 seasons a year (used to be 4, just can't do snow anymore!)
Golf, still walk and carry my clubs, I'm 49 & it ain't as easy as you think
Back packing!
Toss the football, baseball, and frisbee with my kid all the time. This is an awesome work out
Play street ball with my 15 year old & can still blow by him.
I can go on all the activities I do, but the idea is to stay active, everyday. And, to do the top items every other day, NO MATTER WHAT, so that I can do the other "fun" things on the odd days. Keeps me strong and limber to remain active at a high level.
I park in the farthest spot in any parking lot & then run into the store, every single time. Sounds silly, but I bet most adults couldn't do it without maxing out their heart rates & I don't care how old they are. Just another thing I do to stay in shape…stay active & your body will respond. Just that simple I think…Jun 28, 2013 at 3:33 pm #2000614

I'm generally very fit… I lift 3x a week and bike 2-4x a week.
In my experience the only way to train for hiking 20+ miles a day is to actually hike 20+ miles a day.
The best thing to do is to stay in VERY good shape and then transition to hiking by doing like 5-10 the first day… then 10-15 the second day, and ramp on up.
I ALWAYS get muscle soreness but if I start off this way it's manageable and I can let my legs get accustomed to the new lifestyle.Jun 28, 2013 at 4:23 pm #2000633

+1 But I'd modify that in that consistent training (4 days/week) at half the mileage of the event has always been plenty for me.
>"The best thing to do is to stay in VERY good shape and then transition to hiking by doing like 5-10 the first day… then 10-15 the second day, and ramp on up."

hehe that sorta happened to me a few weekends ago. I had planned to do 60mi loop and we got lost and ended up with 95mi. I hadn't done any rides over 55mi in over a year.. the legs were fine. I didn't eat or drink enough for the distance so i bonked for a while until we stopped for more food and was fine after.
haven't done much hiking this year but intend to do a few back to back 17mi dayhikes this coming week and feel i will be ok. 1100mi on the bike so far this season helps.Jun 28, 2013 at 6:38 pm #2000665

Jake, this is a bit simplified, but I think:
The miles I've walked in my life allow me to complete the hike.
The miles I've walked in the last month allow me to complete the hike without hurting afterwards.Jun 28, 2013 at 7:01 pm #2000674

New London — The Renaissance City Development Association found Riverbank Construction in default of its contract Thursday for failing to close on the Fort Trumbull housing project by the May 17 deadline.
"I'd rather see this go forward than find them in default,'' Michael Joplin, RCDA president, said during a meeting in the RCDA office on State Street.
"Despite the constant aggravation?'' asked member Linda Mariani.
The RCDA board met for more than an hour Thursday afternoon in closed session to discuss the agreement and possible litigation. A unanimous vote to find Riverbank in default was made in open session, but no members commented.
Afterward, Joplin, who agreed with the default finding, said he was angry about the last-minute changes in financing made by Irwin and Robert Stillman, owners of Riverbank, that led to the postponement of last week's closing.
"We've been working 2½ years on this ...'' Joplin said. "It could be resolved in 10 minutes."
Karl-Erik Sternlof, RCDA's first vice president, said, "I don't think it's a secret that good faith needs to be restored on both sides."
Robert Stillman could not be reached to comment.
"It's a shame if this project doesn't go through,'' Joplin said. "It's a great thing for the city and the municipal development area. ... It will be very sad.''
The default notification sets in motion a timeline, which ranges from a day to several months, for Riverbank to respond. Provisions in the development agreement to work out disputes include mandatory face-to-face meetings and arbitration.
City Councilor Adam Sprecace, who attended the meeting as the liaison from the City Council, said he agreed that the default notification had to be sent.
"It's an unfortunate but necessary action given the circumstances,'' Sprecace said. "But the city's interests have to be covered."
Village on Thames, a $24 million, 104-unit housing project, is expected to be the first new construction in Fort Trumbull in more than a decade. Riverbank was set to take ownership of two parcels of land from the RCDA on Friday for the first phase of the project — 34 two- and three-bedroom homes that would be rented if they could not be sold as condominiums.
The closing, and a groundbreaking set to take place on Monday, were postponed after a dispute over financing for about a third of the $24 million project.
The Stillmans proposed financing the project with M&T Bank, and the RCDA and the state Department of Economic and Community Development certified that the financing was acceptable. The dispute arose when the Stillmans decided at the last minute to self-finance the project. Sternlof said there are provisions in the development agreement for the developer to self-finance. The disagreement is over the structure of the self-financing, he said.
On Tuesday, the Stillmans' lawyer sent a letter to the RDCA's lawyer saying the conditions of the agreement were satisfied and demanded the RCDA turn over the deeds to the two waterfront parcels in Fort Trumbull.
Riverbank has land-use approvals from the city's Planning & Zoning Commission and has paid $83,000 in building-permit fees for the project.

UTEP Women's Basketball Team Signs 6 For 2013-2014 Season
Some Of The Recruits From Eastern Europe: Learn More About The Players Who Signed Letters Of Intent
EL PASO, Texas - Six individuals have signed national letters of intent to attend school and play for the UTEP women's basketball team in the upcoming 2013-14 season, head coach Keitha Adams announced Tuesday. The group is comprised of four junior-college transfers, including a native of El Paso, a high school prep star from Michigan and a high school standout from Russia.
"I'm excited about this recruiting class," Adams said. "We've added players who will be able to help us this upcoming season.
We understand the importance of teamwork and depth. We have a great nucleus of players returning and with the addition
of these young ladies it brings excitement for the future season. It will be key that these ladies work hard, buy into the system, have a team-first mentality and that we stay healthy."
A brief profile, along with a quote from Adams on each signee is below.

Adams on Telles: We're extremely excited about adding Stacie to our team. I'm impressed with how hard she plays and the level she competes at on a daily basis. Her motor is always running on fast.
She will play point guard and the two guard position for us. She passes it well, will push the ball up the floor,
and she can knock down the three-point shot. It will be fun for our fans to have another player from El Paso added to our team.
Sparkle Taylor
