Archaeological dig takes place at former site of historic cemetery off Newport Ave in East Providence
EAST PROVIDENCE — Curiosity seekers along with average, everyday motorists and residents alike have been wondering of late what exactly is taking place at a long vacant parcel of land on Newport Avenue in the Rumford section of the city.
Rumors of new businesses or homes being built began to swirl, but turns out it's actually a much more interesting and intriguing project taking place on the land between the Uncle Tony's and Burger King restaurants.
A dig is being conducted by the Plymouth Archaeological Rediscovery Project on behalf of the land owners, who are believed to be the heirs of the renowned Butler Family. Craig Chartier is the project's director and principal archaeologist on the excavation, which is utilizing state-of-the-art, ground penetrating radar technology to search the area.
The dig, according to City Planning Director Jeanne Boyle, is being done to finally make sure the remains of persons once buried in what was a historic cemetery that predated the Civil War have been completely removed.
"It is being done privately. The property owners want to make sure all of the bodies were disinterred when the cemetery was originally closed," said Ms. Boyle, who added Ned Connors, of the East Providence Historic District Commission, has visited the dig on a couple of occasions for the city.
Mr. Chartier chuckled at the thought of some of the notions being spread about his activity, which he said ranged from the discovery on an ancient Indian burial ground to laying the foundation for the construction of a Walmart store that would displace nearby residents.
Mr. Chartier could neither confirm nor deny the discovery of human bones at the site. He said he and his associates have found "bits and pieces" of what could be bone fragments, but that he's "not really sure yet."
The possibility exists human remains could still be on the site because of the way in which some were buried in the past. Burials often took place using a "stack" method, according to Ms. Boyle, a tradition used during the 18th and 19th centuries where spouses or family members were buried one on top of the other rather than side by side.
Mr. Chartier refrained from speaking on the specifics of his work per a confidentiality agreement he entered with the property owners and their legal representative Robert Wieck, of the Providence law firm Wieck DeLuca & Gemma.
Mr. Chartier said he's been on site for about two weeks and hopes to conclude his efforts shortly.
"I'm hoping to get it done as soon as possible, especially for the sake of Uncle Tony's," Mr. Chartier added. "We're taking up a good part of their parking. But they've been really understanding and very nice. They've given us free lunches whenever we want."
The cemetery existed until 1961, according to Ms. Boyle. Since that time, the land has laid dormant. It has been offered for sale often in the ensuing 50-plus years without any takers.
Nearly 200 years ago, the Butler Family made much of its fortune as the country began to industrialize. Ironically, the cemetery, it seems, went by the wayside as the northern part of the city became more and more commercialized in the mid 20th century. Newfangled shopping plazas were built as well as additional housing tracts. Less than two decades after the cemetery was moved, the famed Narragansett Racetrack also disappeared, like the burial ground deemed a relic of a bygone era.
In its final years, the cemetery became a "make-out" spot for teenagers with cars, who would cruise the burgeoning Newport Avenue area looking for a place to park, according to City Zoning Board Chairman Gene Saveory.
Mr. Saveory remembers there being a drive-in restaurant adjacent to the cemetery, similar to "Arnold's" of the famed the 1970s sit-com "Happy Days," which was set in 1950s Milwaukee, Wisc.
"My father used to take us to the drive-in and I remember seeing the guys and girls drive into the cemetery," Mr. Saveory recollected. "But by the time I was able to drive it was gone."
The Butler Family's roots in Rhode Island are deep. Samuel and Cyrus Butler were industrialists, whose wealth was accrued in part through commerce on land the family owned on the Seekonk River in the 1800s, especially. Cyrus Butler, in whose name it was built, was a huge benefactor in the creation of Butler Hospital, the state's first such facility to treat mental health issues.

In a landmark paper, Oversight of Next Generation Nanotechnology, J. Clarence (Terry) Davies calls for a new Department of Environmental and Consumer Protection to oversee product regulation, pollution control and monitoring, and technology assessment.
According to Davies, "Federal regulatory agencies already suffer from under-funding and bureaucratic ossification, but they will require more than just increased budgets and minor rule changes to deal adequately with the potential adverse effects of new technologies. New thinking, new laws and new organizational forms are necessary. Many of these changes will take a decade or more to accomplish, but there is an urgent need given the rapid pace of technological change to start thinking about them now."
In the 21st century governments face emerging technologies that enable common materials and chemicals to be manipulated in sophisticated ways at the nanoscale, which may pose unknown and not yet understood risks to human health and the environment. These novel materials improve performance of almost any product imaginable, from cosmetics to car batteries to cancer treatments, but little is know about the risks they may pose and there are many questions concerning their life-cycle impact.
"The idea for a new environmental and consumer protection agency may seem far-fetched to some, but before the creation of EPA in 1970 the idea of an organization dedicated to regulating pollutants harmful to human health and the environment also seemed far-fetched," says David Rejeski, the director of the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies. "Today, agencies like EPA and the Consumer Product Safety Commission lack the resources and tools needed to address the challenges posed by products enabled by advancing nanotechnology and synthetic biology."
In the report's preface, first EPA administrator William D. Ruckelshaus points out that the new Department of Environmental and Consumer Protection outlined in the paper "... would be more of a science agency than the current regulatory ones and would incorporate more integrated approaches to oversight and monitoring."
The proposed agency would foster more integrated oversight and a unified mechanism for product regulation to deal with current problems like toxics in children's toys and newer challenges like nanotechnology. A more integrated approach to pollution control was necessary even before EPA was created, and since that time the need has only increased, according to Davies.
"Almost forty years ago, EPA greatly changed governance and regulation of the damage humans do to the environment," Rejeski says. "But now, nearly a decade into the new century, the U.S. needs to take a bold step forward and address pollution and exposure in a more holistic and proactive manner. A new agency with a new vision and mission is needed to ensure technological innovation with minimal environmental impact."

About Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology is the ability to measure, see, manipulate and manufacture things usually between 1 and 100 nanometers. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter; a human hair is roughly 100,000 nanometers wide. In 2007, the global market for goods incorporating nanotechnology totaled $147 billion. Lux Research projects that figure will grow to $3.1 trillion by 2015.
J. Clarence (Terry) Davies served during the George H.W. Bush administration as Assistant Administrator for Policy, Planning and Evaluation at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In 1970, as a consultant to the President's Advisory Council on Executive Organization, he co-authored the plan that created EPA. As a senior staff member at the Council on Environmental Quality, he wrote the original version of what became the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
Davis' report was made possible with a grant from the European Commission to support pilot projects on "Transatlantic methods for handling global challenges." It is based on independent research and does not represent the views of the European Commission or the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

THE Prime Minister today defended the timing of a crunch by-election after Nationalist taunts that Labour is running scared of the battle.
MPs yesterday defeated an attempt by the SNP to move the writ for an early by-election in Glasgow North East – the contest cannot now take place before late autumn.
At his monthly press conference Gordon Brown was asked why Glasgow voters should have to wait for five months to choose an MP when voters in the Norwich North by-election go to the polls tomorrow.
Mr Brown said the Glasgow contest will take place "in the normal way of by-elections".
"By-elections can happen early, or they can happen a bit later," he said.
"Under the manner in which the Speaker resigned his seat, it's not possible to move the writ during the summer vacation.
"So it will be moved as we come back."
The by-election was caused by the resignation of Speaker Michael Martin.
In a short Westminster debate yesterday on the SNP's move, Commons Leader Harriet Harman said the Government will move the writ "as soon as possible" after MPs return to the Commons in October.
To move the writ now and hold a by-election in August would mean a campaign before the end of the school holidays in Glasgow, which would "disenfranchise" voters, according to Ms Harman.
But SNP chief whip Stewart Hosie said the Government had "contempt" for voters, who deserved to be represented by an MP "as quickly as possible".
The Tories accused Labour of "arrogance."

How protective are you of your fur-babies?
Today I (accidentally) broke a window trying to scare away a stray cat that was beating up on my poor baby. I ended up cutting up my arm because my hand went through the glass which I only slapped with the palm of my hand. I ran outside to get him away from her, while pregnant opps =/, because I really thought he was going to hurt her and I don't know what he may be carrying. She seemed really grateful afterwards and I'm glad she's ok.
This stupid cat who I swear is evil is friends with the cat who came with the house (friend's of ours lived here before us and couldn't take their cat with them so they asked us to look after him). We have tried to be nice by feeding him and giving him water and he does this. I used to feel bad for him but all I want to do is drop kick him. Now each time we see him we chase him out of our yard and will not be feeding him any longer. I've never disliked an animal as much as I dislike this stupid cat. This wasn't the first time he's tried to attack her, but this was definitely the worse.

I can't believe we're already here at the Olympic training camp, trying out for the 2014 roster. It seems like just yesterday it was 2010 and Sochi felt like it was forever away. The past three years went by in a blink! But as fast as it's gone, we also feel ready to show off all the preparation and work we've done and take the next step in our 2014 Olympic journey.
Forty-one of us arrived in Lake Placid on Sunday, and we kicked things off first thing Monday morning with on-ice testing -- something that definitely gives you the old gut check. Even if you're in fantastic shape, you feel miserable. Your legs are burning with lactic acid; your muscles feel like lead. Basically, you skate as fast as you can from goal line to goal line and back, then repeat it seven times. Usually it takes about a minute, and we get a five-minute break and do it again.
We were psyching ourselves up beforehand, saying it's only two minutes of work. But it's a painful two minutes. Still, when you're cooling down afterward you have a great feeling of accomplishment. In a game, you'll need to be able to push through that pain, so mentally you feel a little tougher after this test.
On Tuesday we had a two-hour practice in which we started to get used to playing on an Olympic-size sheet (rink). The NHL sheet is about 10 feet narrower, and those extra feet make a huge difference in your ability to make passes or close in on someone in a corner. It definitely feels different, and most of us have NHL-size sheets in our local communities so the new dynamics take a little adjustment.
On Wednesday and Thursday we were divided into two 20-player teams and we played some intense scrimmages. At this point you know that every time you step onto the ice is an opportunity to prove yourself and try to make that roster. So they were some really competitive, physical games, but it's also encouraging to see the culture of Team USA. We're battling but still supporting one another, because we know if we're not working together as a team we won't be successful in the end.
This camp is a bit calmer than the development training camps we usually have where we do lots of other training on top of practice and games. At this camp, it's important to maximize our recovery with things like naps and ice baths between sessions. I'm not a fan of the ice bath, though. I use something called the NormaTec, which is a compression sleeve you slide onto your legs. It inflates and deflates, and it's supposed to help with blood flow and recovery. It's better than freezing to death in the ice bath!
And we find a bit of time for fun, too. We've been really into watching the NHL playoffs. We've got a mixed group of Bruins and Blackhawks fans, so that has made it interesting. We've also got a game called Bananagrams -- essentially speed Scrabble – that we're addicted to. You can spend a lot of time playing Bananagrams.
We've all known each other and been teammates for so long from college and the national team, so we're friends who support one another and enjoy hanging out on and off the ice. But make no mistake, when we get back on the ice to compete, we compete hard. And for this camp, it's all about competing hard.

A barber shop in downtown Bangor is shaving a few bucks off the price of a haircut to support a local organization that helps people in need.
In fact, Sunday, January 19th, all of the services at Cornerstone Barber Shop are free.
Instead they're taking donations for Manna Ministries in Bangor.
The money will go to support Manna's food pantry and housing programs.
Last year was the first time the barber shop offered the deal and the owner says he was overwhelmed when they collected more than $2,000.
Gene Spearrin says, "We're hoping that our clients give approximately what the service is worth to Manna. All of the employees are giving their time, the shop is giving their time, there's no profit in this for us, except the enjoyment of it."
This year's shave and a haircut fundraiser runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Cornerstone Barber Shop is at 210 Exchange Street in downtown Bangor.


text: Every year around Christmas, all of Sweden come together in one of the world's biggest unintentional teambuilding exercises. What brings us closer is our common hatred of SJ, the government-owned train operator in Sweden, who mysteriously stops functioning as soon as the first snow flake hits the ground. During these times of wrath and endless Twitter rants I like to turn to music. Music that's perfect for incredibly slow train rides and winter landscape views. The Stockholm based organ/psych quintet Mackaper makes this sort of music. Music that makes you think about how you could do far worse than to sit in a warm and quite comfortable train and look at beautiful nature. So in the spirit of Christmas, and Sweden, let's all come together and listen to, and download, 'DIMMA' (translation: Fog) – taken from Mackaper's new album Mot Ljusare Tider (translation: Towards Brighter Times (!)), out now via Flora & Fauna.

OxyContin robber sentenced to 3 years
A man who robbed a Spokane pharmacy of OxyContin last May was sentenced recently to nearly three years in prison.
Robert K. Morris, 27, pleaded guilty to first-degree attempted robbery and was sentenced to 34 1/2 months in prison and ordered to pay $134 restitution.
Morris escaped the Walgreens at Division Street and Empire Avenue May 22 with just a small amount of pills; the stores have been keeping OxyContin in time-lock safes since fall 2009.
No charges were filed against Morris' unsuspecting driver after the man passed a polygraph test. Morris was sentenced on Thursday and is in Spokane County Jail awaiting transport to state prison.

New features coming for Blackboard
October 28, 2013Tweet
Preparations are under way for an upgrade to Blackboard, Binghamton University's Learning Management System. The transition to the upgraded version is anticipated to take place prior to the Winter Session, giving faculty and other Blackboard users a full month to make the shift to the new version.
In addition to having a new look, a number of enhancements will make Blackboard more functional for both instructors and students.
Over the coming months, faculty and others who use Blackboard will have a chance to preview new features that include:
• an improved navigation menu that includes the ability to switch quickly between courses
• a more flexible gradebook that allows inline grading for assignments
• a "retention center" that gives instructors a quick overview of student performance and activity in the course
• an enhanced calendar including the ability to export into Outlook or Google
• an improved content editor that makes it easier to create course materials, including options for quick video integration
• a rubric creator that helps structure student assignments
"Blackboard has been making a real effort to listen to faculty concerns and improve not only the look and feel of the system, but also the way instructors use the system to teach their courses," said Donald Loewen, vice provost for undergraduate education. "For Binghamton, this upgrade is just the first phase in a multi-phase Blackboard improvement plan. We had great faculty participation in a Blackboard survey last spring, and this is the beginning of our response to faculty requests for changes and improvements that emerged in the survey.
"Some of the new features can be great time-savers for instructors, and they'll give us a lot more options when building our courses," Loewen said.
In addition, a number of faculty are being asked to test the new features well in advance of the late-December launch.
"We want to do everything we can to ensure a smooth campus transition to the upgraded version," Loewen said.

If you are interested in volunteering or eating luch with your child at Riley again for the 2015-16 school year, you will need to complete a volunteer background form in its entirety. Please return the completed form to the Riley office. Unless you hear otherwise, you will be approved to serve as a volunteer for the 2015-16 school year. Thank you for your involvement in our school.
Volunteer Background Check
Click on the link to download the physical form. Incoming kindergarten students and any 5th grade student wanting to participate in a sport needs to have a physical on file in the health office.
Elementary Physical Form
Our security protocol was put in place several years ago and continues to be the policy of LaPorte Community Schools. When visiting Riley, ALL visitors will need to check in at the main office.
1. You must have a current background check on file in office to be able to visit the classroom or eat lunch with your child. 2. A Visitor's Badge will be issued to you. This badge must be visible at ALL times. 3. Upon leaving the building, return your visitor badge to the office.
We understand this will be more time consuming, however, the safety and security of our students, staff and visitors is our top priority. Thank you for your support of Riley Elementary School and all the schools of the La Porte Community School Corporation.
Beginning in the Spring of 2015 we will be dismissing all walkers and parent pick up students at 3:07 pm. All children riding buses will be dismissed at 3:10 pm. Traffic has always been heavy at dismissal from school. If you are picking up your child, please park in two straight lines in front of the building leaving an aisle in the center for through traffic. There is no parking in front of the timbers by the tree on the east end of the drive or at the front entrance. If you leave your car to get your child, the best pick-up method is to park your car in a space in the back lot and walk to the northeast entrance of the building to get your child. You can exit that parking lot onto Glenwood Street. If your child can ride the bus, please consider using it at dismissal to cut down on the traffic in front of Riley. Beginning with the 2015-16 school year, if a student is not picked up by 3:20 he/she will be sent to Child Care and the parent will be responsible for paying the cost of childcare. Thank you for your cooperation with this policy.

Feb 11, 2014 - By Randy Tucker, Sports WriterPAVILLION -- There is an old adage in football that in a battle between big and quick, big always wins. "Big stays big, and quick gets tired," is the saying. That was once true in basketball as well, but things changed with the advent of the 3-point shot.
The Dubois Rams towered over the Wind River Cougars Friday in Pavillion, but it was the quickness and vastly improving long-range shooting of the Cougars that was the difference in an entertaining 68-58 win by Wind River.
The Cougars won again Saturday in Basin, 56-43 over Riverside. The Rams, meanwhile, fell 52-48 in Class 1-A Northwest action at Ten Sleep.
The game evens the series between the two longtime rivals, now separated by classification differences, at one each.
Wind River hit 10 3-pointers in the contest, including five by sophomore point guard Caleb C'Bearing.He hit three treys in the opening period alone, but it didn't stave off the Dubois strategy of pounding it inside.
Dubois point guard Kolter Leseberg did a solid job getting the ball to Austin Tharp and Walker Carrico in the paint, and Carrico picked up four assists on the night with high- to low-post passes to Tharp over the top of the Cougar defense.
The trio was led in scoring by Carrico's 21. Tharp had 15 and Leseberg finished with 10, including perfect shooting from the line in six attempts.
The Rams as a team were 100 percent at the stripe on eight attempts.
Wind River head coach Scott Groenke unveiled a new twist to the Cougar offense with a patient, perimeter passing game that took two and a half minutes off the first-period clock at one point before Bryce Hankins broke open in the post for an easy shot.
Dubois trailed by seven early in the second quarter, but a Leseberg drive, a post move by Tharp, and a pair of short jumpers from Carrico tied the game at 22 and again at 24.
Wind River broke the ice on an "oop" pass from C'Bearing far out on the perimeter to a leaping Hankins, who caught the ball near rim level and laid it in.The Cougars never relinquished the lead for the remainder of the contest.
Cory Cress hit a trey, and Dakota Snyder drained two of his three 3-pointers as well in the second half to keep the Dubois post play at bay.
Dubois rallied to trail 40-30 on a follow shot by Ryan Eulberg with 5:01 left in the third, but a C'Bearing trey and a Snyder layup off a no-look pass from C'Bearing put the rally to rest.
A last gasp for the Rams came when Carrico hit Tharp over the shorter Cougar defenders for a point blank shot with 7:21 left in the game that closed the gap to one, but Snyder's back-to-back treys in just under 30 seconds put the Cougars up for good.
Dubois traveled to Ten Sleep on Saturday.
Wind River now hosts Big Piney and Kemmerer in key Southwest Conference games that will determine the final standings and set up the seeding for the 2-A West regional in three weeks.
Wind River - Caleb C'Bearing 5 (5) 2-2 27, Xavier Oats 1 1-3 3, Bryce Hankins 3 (1) 1-2 10, Delshai Roanhorse 3 1-3 7, Cory Cress (1) 5-6 8, Dakota Snyder 1 (3) 0-0 11, Taylor Tidzump 1 0-0 2. Totals 14 (10) 10-16 68
Dubois -- Austin Tharp 6 (1) 0-0 15, Walker Carrico 8 (1) 2-2 21, Ryan Eulberg 2 0-0 4, Kolter Leseberg 2 6-6 10, Nathan Moore 3 0-0 6. Totals 27 (2) 8-8 58

Tough Mudder Tahoe - Everything but the Kitchen Sink
Mudder Nation,
Are you ready to take on Tough Mudder Tahoe?
We are back at Tahoe for our fourth time, and this time we are throwing everything and the kitchen sink at this course. Well, not actually the kitchen sink... but that could be a good obstacle name. We'll work on that for the future. But for now, back to Tahoe.
In the past we have stuck to a very similar course route at Northstar Resort, but that is all about to change. We have completely redesigned the course to allow for participants to interact with spectators at 12 of our marquee obstacles in and around the mid mountain area. But fear not, this does not mean that you are going to have an easy course. In fact, we have just as much, if not more elevation gain than previous Tahoe Mudders have experienced.
Get ready for a grand tour of all of the ups and downs that Northstar has to offer. This course will test everything you have, and then some. Prepare for black diamonds up, quick descents down, and obstacle upon obstacle in between.
To get you pumped up for this weekend, our course team tested out the course this morning. Here is a preview video to get you ready.
ray-leftwich-3 08:48 am on August 21st
Good job, Big Mudder. The old course was great, but after 3 events it was getting too predictable. Charging up Cliff Hanger after 7 miles and running through Base Camp put a real test on my calves.

Where I stayed
It all began with me waking from one of my best sleeps of the trip (no snoring and a proper bed!) in my own nice Mercure room before joining up with the parents for breakfast. As I waited for Mum and Dad to prepare themselves, from their room I noticed snow begin to gently fall. To avoid the rip-off price for breakfast at the hotel we were heading out to have breakfast at a caf�, which now involved walking through the snowfall. Unfortunately the 2 places we had earmarked for consideration were still not open and the snow was getting heavier so we headed back to wait at the hotel, but on the way we saw another bakery/caf� that we had missed before.
Breakfast was a very relaxing affair with nice food, for about half of what the hotel was asking, consumed next to a large glass wall looking out at the snow. The snowfall became heavier before lightening off again, leaving a nice white coating on the ground but not sticking to any trees or light poles etc.
The next item on our agenda was an interim laundromat visit, mainly to ensure I have mostly clean garments to synchronise my clothes cycle with Belinda when I meet up with her tomorrow. This was derailed by our planned laundromat being closed for the day (we phoned to check) so we had to ask reception for advice. They advised us that a nearby block of units had a self-service laundry in it that we could use so Dad and I set off for some recon in the still-falling snow while Mum sorted the clothes back in the room.
The heaviest snowfall of the day was experienced as we took our clothes from the hotel across the tram tracks and the road to the block of units, with Dad expressing his joy and surprise at the size of the flakes. Laundromats are laundromats so I won't bore you with all the details except that we had a break in our room during the wash cycle and to say that the clothes are now clean
Finally we were free to get out and about so first priority, since it was my last day, was to purchased tageskartes (day tickets) and take the tram out to the Dresdener Bergbahnen. I had visited both of these railways during my last trip to the town but the parents were up for it and they both provide a good view over the city. Our first was the funicular, supposedly the oldest operating one in the world, followed by the suspended cable-hauled monorail. By this time in the afternoon the snow had stopped coming down and was drizzling at some times so most of the snow was melting or at least turning to dirty, slippery slush. This did at least provide nice clear views from the hill side at the top of the bergbahnen.
I have neglected to mention our late lunch, which was enjoyed at Caf� Toscana, right next to the bridge over the Elbe River at Schillerplatz, where one disembarks from the tram to access the bergbahnen. We dined here as soon as we arrived and couldn't resist an arvo tea/dessert of their fantastic goodies. Mum had some Dresdener Stollen, Dad had a L�becker Sahne Torte (L�beck Cream Cake, with marzipan) and I had a Nougat Torte.
All in all the day was shaping up pretty nicely with good, heavy (well at least for us Aussies) snowfall in the morning, some nice tram trips, nice mountain railways, topped off with good food and great cake
As darkness kicked in we returned to the hotel from our excursion and Mum fulfilled her desire to iron some of our clothes before I left. This killed time before we were once again on the tram, this time heading for a scenic round-trip through the Altstadt, over the river, through the Neustadt and back. We ended up disembarking on the return leg at Postplatz, the main tram and bus interchange in town. This has changed a lot since I was last here, and is indeed still changing. The old interchange in the platz itself is gone and has now been replaced by 2 long tram stops with full rooves on both sides of the main shopping side of the intersection. One side is still being completed and, in conjunction with a large construction project further down Wilsdruffer Strasse, trams are not running down that street and its corresponding Postplatz stop at the moment. We were able to read on 1 of the trams when we disembarked that the 5 section Bombardier Flexity trams in Dresden are the longest trams in the world!
Dinner was at the restaurant No.3, in the same dining precinct to the Vietnamese in which we ate yesterday. The food was of high quality and at reasonable prices: a good way to finish off my travels with the parents. We tramed it back the few stops to the hotels because I'm going to miss these cool, and often long trams until I'm here again.
I'm now typing this in my last hours in Dresden, using up my time before my sleeper train departs at 10:56pm. I should meet Belinda tomorrow morning and I'll let you know how things are going sometime in London.

The U.S. National Arboretum in Washington, D.C. announces a new approach to provide science-based information to visitors and the public. A new initiative called Grass Roots will focus for the next four years on the uses, benefits and role of turfgrass as it relates to the economy, the environment and society.
The project will include an onsite outdoor exhibit, symposia, workshops, and demonstrations, all aimed at expanding knowledge at a range of levels – from school children to policymakers – about the importance of turfgrass and turfgrass research on the landscape and the environment. The programs will range from scientific symposia on research related to turfgrass breeding and management, advances in lawn care equipment and techniques, "Turf Battles" (demonstrations of sports on turfgrasses), turfgrass management in the Chesapeake Bay region and other estuaries, new watering and irrigation systems, using turf and ornamental grasses in landscapes, and grasses in environmental improvement and remediation.
The initial focus of 'Grass Roots' is an interactive outdoor exhibit that will focus on the science of turfgrass improvement through research pro¬grams, as well as science-based management of lawns and turf. The primary message of the exhibit is that the best lawns are developed and managed with their purposes in mind, whether those purposes are golf and other sports, linking landscape elements, conserving soil, assuring water retention, or simply beautiful landscapes.
The exhibit will be thematically linked to gardens and displays throughout the grounds of the National Arboretum to support the message that turf and grasses are used for a wide range of functions in the environment, from soil and water retention, to activities, to aesthetic. Even though much information about turfgrasses will be presented, the overall goal of the outdoor exhibit is to make the expe¬rience of learning about grasses fun.
To make 'Grass Roots' a reality at the U.S. National Arboretum, financial support is essential to install and maintain the exhibit over its four-year lifespan and to create innovative programs to help visitors discover the science underlying horticulture, advances in turfgrass choices and management, and the role of grass in our natural and cultivated systems. Various sponsorship levels are available for organizations, companies and individuals.
The U. S. National Arboretum is a USDA, Agricultural Research Service research and education facility on 446 acres in Washington, DC, two miles from the U.S. Capitol. It is the home of many species collections, award winning displays, the National Bonsai Museum and the Capitol Columns.

This morning I received an email from an elementary school friend showing off the photos of her son's first birthday party. Once I got over the cuteness of his deep blue eyes and his round apple cheeks, I was struck by the realization that these photos mean he's one. It seems like just yesterday she was emailing me to ask me advice about starting him on solids and just the day before we were receiving his birth announcement in the mail.
In our house, just like in many other homes, the first birthday party was the biggest we've ever thrown for both girls. People joke that it's silly to have a big party for a one year old, that they won't remember it other than when looking at photo albums, that it's really just for the parents, and in so many ways they're right. No-one remembers their first birthday party. Frankly most kids don't even enjoy their first party!
Nevertheless, the first birthday party is crucial to parents. That first year flies by in a flurry of sleepless nights and soaring emotions and it comes as a shock to all that it ends so quickly. The first birthday party is a way to celebrate that everyone made it through the first year, a way to mark the passage of time and the shift from surviving the day to day of infancy to enjoying watching baby discover the world.
We had cake and laughed when the girls turned up their noses at the frosting and then we heaved a sigh of relief and moved on to the second year. The pictures snapped on those days help us remember that crucial transition.

It wasn't so long ago that I was whining about how after such a big deal was made about Kathryn Bigelow being the first woman to win a Best Director Oscar, the number of women making movies actually declined. Now it looks like things might be changing.
For example, Lynn Shelton's "Your Sister's Sister" opens this Friday, Sarah Polley's "Take This Waltz" opens July 6, and Julie Delpy's "2 Days in New York" opens August 17.
I just came from a screening of David Cronenberg's "A Dangerous Method," in which Keira Knightley as Sabina
Spielrein kicks and screams and laughs hysterically as she's dragged from a
carriage into the Bürgholzi Mental Hospital to be treated by Michael
Fassbender's Carl Jung.
Yesterday I went to a screening of "Young Adult,"
directed by Jason Reitman from a script by Diablo Cody, in which Charlize
Theron (an old hand at disturbed characters after her serial killer in
"Monster") plays a woman who is acutely depressed, alcoholic, and
self-destructively obsessed with a man she went out with over fifteen years

" Brand: Telebrands / Misc House Type: Storage "
Telebrands underbed shoe storer
We were in Homebase the other day buying yet more paint when I spotted this box with a picture of a storage idea for shoes neatly going under your bed. This only works if you do not have a divan bed nad if you have at least 6 inches clearance under your bed.
It shoes a wardrobe with shoes tossed in there all muddled up converted to this neat set of shoes all in separate compartments sliding under your bed. Storing shoes has always been a tricky one for me. First I had them neatly arranged on my wardrobe floor but as my collection grew I decided to be ultra organised and put them in shoe boxes all sprayed the same colour. I took photos of the shoes and stuck a photo of the pair contained in each box. This looked much neater and kept the shoes in better condition and dust free too. I felt very pleased with my efforts and this is how they have been for about 5 years now.
Why change this perfect, cheap system I hear you ask? Well it seems great but it seems that I always want the ones on the bottom and in order to get that box I have to left all the others out to prevent a general collapse. It would be easier if all the boxes were the same size but they weren't. Gradually too they began to break and bend and not look quite as neat. I always had to have the boots boxes on the bottom as they were so much bigger and the effort that had to go into putting a pair of boots back in their box and lifting all the ones above it was just too much sometimes!
So you can imagine my interest when I saw this storage idea. I paid £9.99 but have since seen them for a lot less on ebay and Amazon so if you are tempted then I suggest looking on the internet before you rush off to Homebase like I did. This was an impulse buy big time and didn't have any research done prior to the purchase at all which for me is very unusual.
Anyway this cardboard box comes a rectangular folded cloth, cardboard and see through plastic storage container. It also comes with instructions telling you how to unfold it, undo the zip and place a pair of shoes in each compartment. I don't really feel that was needed but maybe I am ultra intelligent and the only person able to work out this tricky challenge.
These are the instructions : I quote
"Step1 - Unfold shoes under, unzip the clear plastic cover, and insert shoes or other accessories as shown ( Illust#1). Nest shoes as shown ( illust #2) or for larger shoes, stack them."
There is a step 2 and step3 with a further illustr#3 but I think you have probably grasped the idea!!
It holds 12 pairs of shoes. It does NOT solve the problem of boots though. I also found that my trainers only fit one shoe per hole so I only got 11 pairs in that storage bag. However I managed to get three pairs of flipflops in one hole so that made up for the trainer. I'm not sure how men's shoes would fit as they are all more like my trainer. The picture on the front of the box shows a lady and all ladies shoes, slip ons etc not business men's shoes and trainers so I would think that it might be 6 pairs of men's shoes per container not 12 for the ladies shoes.
Anyway I managed to construct the container and put my shoes in it then slip it under the bed - job done and nice and neat too. The trouble was I had another stack of boxes still so i had to go and buy another before my wardrobe was bare except for the three boots boxes. I felt very pleased with my purchase, it is so much easier to get shoes out, see which I want and put them away. I also have a cleared space in my wardrobe so my clothes can hang and not get creased by al the boxes.
There are some warnings too:
* "* For intended use only.
* Keep away from small children
* Keep away from heat or open flame
* Do not machine wash or dry
* For indoor use only, not for use in extreme heat or cold temperatures"
I despair sometimes as there must be some extremely thick people around to require warnings like these. But for warning number one - I am sure that I could store rolled T shirts or socks and knickers in here without causing too much damage to myself or the storage container thing. It also tells you that you can clean it with a damp cloth and to only store clean, dry shoes. There warnings of impending doom and danger over.
The cats enjoy creeping between the two storage containers and hiding when i am looking to put them to bed. I have worked out that I can use the 'strong nylon handle' to move the shoe storage thing and shove them out though. They do not show under the bed and are easy to pull out for cleaning under the bed. The shoes stay dust free and easy to get out. So all in all despite the fact that I paid £20 when I could have got them for less than half the price on the internet, I am still very pleased with these shoe storage solutions. A very simple but neat and practical storage solution for me.
This review may be posted on other site under my same user name.

Hi, I saw that giaz asked about 2 months ago whether it is possible to get a download of all projects for research purposes, but there has been no answer.
I was wondering the same thing.
I will direct your question to the proper people.
Hi purcell_m - we don't have a program in place to get a complete dump of all projects. However you can use the API. We do allow qualified research projects to get an increased API limit but we ask that you provide us with some info about your project, and that your research supervisor, a faculty member at your institution, vouch for your project and agree to certain conditions on your use of the API and Ohloh data.
Please write me at info [at] ohloh.net with a description of your research proposal, and I'll respond with some more info for you.
Thanks for your interest!

4.0 i6 .v.s. 4.7 v8
What have you seen as Pros and Cons????
I own a 4.7V8 and a 4.7V8 H.O and i love those engines,But my Girlfriend has 4.0 and its fun to drive also.Jeep Has Strong Engines In the WJ's all together i think!!!!
Re: 4.0 i6 .v.s. 4.7 v8
It's kinda a no brainer for me. The 4.7's will out gas mileage the 4.0 every time. Why drive a six when a v8 gets better gas mileage? Don't get me wrong the 4.0 is about as bulletproof as you can get,just not very efficient.
The 4.0 is a solid engine, and has plenty of power for the jeep but not as good for towing. The 4.7 gets as good or better mileage and has plenty of power to move the truck and a load. Might not be as solid but that still remains to be seen as they continue to age.

Re: 4.0 i6 .v.s. 4.7 v8
4.0 is stronger and lasts longer but 4.7 is a lot better for towing and gets better gas mileage.
Re: 4.0 i6 .v.s. 4.7 v8
I chose the I6 because it's pretty damn bulletproof and I drive 70 miles every day to work and back. Plus the maintenance cost of the I6 is less than the V8. I can throw cheap antifreeze and oils in my Jeep. With the different metals of the V8 block and head, you'll spend more more money on the Mopar special fluids and oils.
But at the same time, the I6 is underpowered for the 4,000 lb WJ. It seems to work good in the XJ's that are lighter, but it lacks in the heavy WJ. If you have any need to have power or need to tow anything more than a mower, you should get the V8.
You won't go wrong with either, it all depends on what are your needs.
Re: 4.0 i6 .v.s. 4.7 v8
Purely looking at the motor, the i6s will outlast the V8s. Maybe I was just unlucky but I think the 42re transmission that comes with the I6 is kind of a weak link where as the 45rfe on the V8 seems plenty strong, it even gets put behind the bigger hemi engines. You have to look at the whole vehicle sometimes, an engine doesnt do much good without the rest of the drivetrain.
Re: 4.0 i6 .v.s. 4.7 v8
good luck getting 230xxx plus miles out of a 4.7
every 4.0 ive owned has gotten atleast that mileage
There are 4.7's out there with that many miles believe me. Just like there are some with less. Not every 4L made it to high mileage either.
HTC Thunderbolt 2
Re: 4.0 i6 .v.s. 4.7 v8
A lot has to do with maintainance and abuse. I bought my jeep with 111,900 miles and the 4.0 I6 was blown, the owners before beat on it pretty good I heard. I think it was the number 5 cylinder that let loose. I've heard Jeep changed the 4.0 they put in the grand Cherokee in '99 than what was used in the Cherokee. The Cherokee's 4.0s I believe are a lot more reliable. My buddy had a '98 Cherokee 4.0 and it lasted until 22?,??? Miles until it over heated. If it hadn't overheated who knows how far it could have gone...
I have no experience with the 4.7 nor do I know anyone with one(besides on this forum lol)
Re: 4.0 i6 .v.s. 4.7 v8
The big change to the 4.0 took place in the 1999 MY due to meeting tighter emissions regulations. The XJ world is filled with tons of crack heads from 1999-2001 which was part of the reason I settled on a 1998 Cherokee Classic 8 years ago. I also believe there was a change to the piston to meet emissions but cannot remember were I read it as it has been a while since I owned the XJ.
From the XJ Wiki:
Info about the head difference from the above page
Re: 4.0 i6 .v.s. 4.7 v8
My 4.0 has a lil over 120,000 on it and runs as good as new. Most of the miles are short distance with the occasional 967+ mi. trips.
Re: 4.0 i6 .v.s. 4.7 v8
Like what was stated before, it really depends on how well it is maintained. I am not against driving a Jeep under the conditions that it was built for, but there is a major difference between using, and abusing.
I have a 4.7 HO with over 126,000 miles and it runs like a dream

Police blotter Week of 5-12-2014
By Tim Clifford
Getting lifted
Officers were called to a store on the 2600 block of S.W. Barton St. for shoplifting and an assault just before 9 p.m. on May 2. When the officers arrived they were contacted by 2 loss prevention officers who told them that this suspect had been observed shoplifting in this store in the past. The suspect was described as a light skinned black male with a do-rag and green striped shirt and sporting a goatee with long side burns.
According to the loss prevention officers the suspect was monitored with the in store camera as he was handed merchandise by 3 other men, who would remove the scanner tags, and then put the items in his pants. The loss prevention officers decided to wait outside the store to confront the suspect once he was outside. When they confronted the suspect he denied stealing anything and then proceeded to throw a stolen pair of sweatpants on the ground in front of the officers. At this point the suspect threw an elbow at one of the officers while rushing past him and ran away.
A few hours after gathering the video surveillance and the accounts from the loss prevention a police patrol unit spotted the suspect leaning against a light pole a few blocks from the store. Tags from the stolen merchandise were showing from his waistband and over his shoes from the bottoms of his pants.
The suspect attempted to walk away from the patrol unit but they managed to arrest him in a nearby parking lot.
While the officers were frisking the suspect and putting all of his belongings on the hood of their patrol car one officer pulled out a plastic bag from his pants with an unknown substance in it. As soon as he set it on the hood of the car the suspect leaned forward and ate the bag before the officers could stop him. Since it was unknown what was in the bag or what amount of the unknown substance had been ingested the suspect was denied booking at the King County Jail and taken to Harbor View for monitoring. The suspect was released from the hospital a few hours later and advised by hospital staff that he should turn himself at a later time before he left.
Stealing cigarettes
On Apr.30 around 7:20 p.m. an employee at a store on the 2600 block of California Ave. S.W. was taking a smoke break when she was assaulted and robbed of her cigarettes. According to the victim a black male in a stocking cap who was clearly a young teenager approached her and asked her for one of her cigarettes. The victim told the teen "no" on the grounds that he was a minor, at which point the teen "cussed her out" and then walked across the street.
A few minutes later another black teenage male came up to her and asked for a cigarette as well. The victim again said "no" since she could clearly see that this was another minor. The teen began yelling profanities at the victim to which she responded by trying to ignore the irate teen and turned her back to him. The teen then gave the victim a hard shove to the back and grabbed her pack of cigarettes before running away.
When she recovered and turned around she could see that the suspect had run across the street to the first teen who had talked to her and they both took off through a nearby park. The victim told police that she saw these two run off with an Asian male and Hispanic male as well; all four of these teens are known to shoplift from the store where the victim works. The victim was advised to call Seattle police if she spots any of these suspects in the store where she works again.
Crimes reported between May 1 and May 8
Burglaries by block: 2300 block of 45 Ave. S.W., 1400 block of S.W. Roxbury St.
Car thefts by block: 1000 block of Harbor Ave. S.W., 5600 block of 40 Ave. S.W., 6000 block of 48 Ave. S.W., 800 block of S. Cloverdale St., 800 block of S. Donovan St., 9400 block of 17 Ave. S.W., 9400 block of 16 Ave. S.W.

United States
#67 Jul 11, 2010
if you are so interested in truth tony why don't you tell the osbi how many eleanors went thru your shop
#68 Jul 11, 2010
I'll tell you right here and now! I built 8 of them, all on original classic bodies, dynancorn did not have them available when I built mine. This is so stupid, what does that have to do with anything, is every Eleanor car out there subject to investigation? If they want to check out the ones I built they can spend the taxpayers dollars to travel to Europe and Australia and take a nice vacation. They will come back with nothing, just like they will find here!
#69 Jul 12, 2010
The company Dynacorn first made the body for reproduction 69 camaro. In the write up it says you can use the vin off your old rusty car or title as a kit car. I think depending on the state you are in. Its up to the owner to clarify thats its original or not.
Car parts get damaged with the vin all the time. They just put on the new part and attach the vin.
#70 Jul 13, 2010
Even though the owner claims he didn't know it was wrong to do this, common sense should have told him if a buyer turns around and sells the car as an original Shelby and not a clone he stands to make some serious cash. The owner who sold the clone originally would be setting people up to get scammed, unintentionally but still, exerscise due dilligence here people. Besides dont most shells come with assigned VIN's from the factory? Why is he not using these VIN's instead of swapping VIN's with other cars? This is the biggest question i have for him.
#71 Jul 13, 2010
And I think we all know the answer Jessi Ann: Because when someone getting ready to plunk down $250,000 grand for a real classic car wants to verify its authenticity, they look at the VIN. The VIN is formatted to tell you things like the year the car was produced, the manufacturer, the cars number in the production run, etc. They'd have to swap the VIN if they had any chance at all of selling the car as a restored original and not a rebuilt/salvage vehicle. Also, the guys doing this wouldn't be able to get the green colored title for the vehicle, which would tip any buyer off that the car wasn't a restored original.
Really, the swapped VINs (a crime all by itself) isn't their biggest problem. Fraud charges will be their biggest problems. I'm guessing that not everyone who bought these cars bought them in Oklahoma. If these guys in Yukon were engaged in fraud that crosses state lines or uses electronic banking or the postal service, they could be looking at federal charges.
And for anyone who doesn't think this is a serious crime or that its just a case of the cops interfering with a legitimate business - How would you feel if you paid 200K for what you thought was a restored, original, 50 year old classic car and then discovered it was a chinese frame with a switched VIN? You'd be pretty upset, I'm thinking.
I heard someone mention the owners have gone from "We didn't do anything wrong" to "We didn't know it was wrong, how do we get out of trouble?" Is this true? If so, where is the guy saying they'll be vindicated and should sue? How do people in the business of selling restored cars not know how to legally sell restored cars? Come on, man.
#72 Jul 13, 2010
You wont do shit but run your big mouth. You ever threaten me agian I am going to make sure I tie your sorry asssss up in court and sue you for everthing you have.
#73 Jul 13, 2010
Yeah, this one wasn't posted by me. I posted the reply to Jerri above. Think this one must be Tony or Bozo or someone.
#74 Jul 13, 2010
yawn, yea, I know it's boring driving your Accord!
#75 Jul 13, 2010
i got word today that everything that was going on at CR was legit and documented, they were not selling "lesser" cars per say, more like shelby clones, and they were putting the old vin on the new body which is legal, you only have to retain 10% of the original car. now that it is all done they can't get the osbi to return their calls to find out how to get the cars back...personally i think osbi is embarrassed....
United States
#76 Jul 13, 2010
This whole deal is Bullshit and OSBI and OHP need to stop fucking up an investigation that never should have been started in the first place. I'm behind Classic Recreations and plan to take my car to them for restoration work as soon as they are able to put all of this behind them. Hang in there J!!!!!!!!!!

#77 Jul 13, 2010
Jason........My previous post says I'm in Ft. Worth, Tx, but you know me. Once all this is over get that paint gun ready with some Highland green for my 68. I'll be talking to you soon.
#78 Jul 14, 2010
I am going to order a car once this is sorted out, my friend in Australia has a Eleanor off Jason and loves it. Said he was one of the most honest guys he has dealt with.
#79 Jul 26, 2010
These two are affiliated? I got screwed arouind by that car lot as well. That is interesting, you should email me and let me know what happened to you. [email protected]

'Pitch' is a great action verb–one that implies such force and movement. But to a writer, a pitch is a kind of verbal query, delivered in person.
Contemplating having to deliver a real pitch in front of a real agent or editor at the Moonlight & Magnolias conference next month makes me think of a different action verb: Hurl. I can envision some pretty good force behind that one, too.
The critique group I'm part of is revving up for the conference. Instead of swapping manuscript chapters at our next meeting, we're each going to share a one-page synopsis and practice pitching. I found lessons to read over at Pitch University, and after I've reviewed every single one of them, I hope to feel slightly less nauseous.
But just in case, I'm stocking up on the pink stuff. You can't be too careful about these things.

Mission to Seafarers
Architect: Walter Butler
Docklands | D02
The Mission to Seafarers buildings are unusual for combining two distinct architectural styles: Spanish Mission Revival and Arts and Crafts. This Spanish Revival style had become prevalent on the west coast of America, throughout California and New Mexico during the 1890s. It revived the architectural legacy of Spanish colonialism of the 18th century and the associated Franciscan missions. The adjoining administration, residential and recreational building show the influence of English domestic Arts and Crafts architecture, with its projecting gable, pepper pot chimneys and three adjoining oriel windows. Architect Walter Butler had come to Australia with an intimate knowledge and experience of the Arts and Crafts movement, and continued to use the style in his residential designs of the 1920s. Maritime imagery is evident throughout the buildings, including stained glass windows in the chapel depicting stories of seafarers lost at sea, the pulpit in the form of a ship's stern and the large mariner's compass inlaid in the terrazzo floor. The chapel is notable for its fine collection of crafted joinery by Robert Prenzel, including the altar and sanctuary chairs with their carved Australian flora motifs. The new Early Origins exhibition provides in-depth information about the building and its people.
Need to Know
Open: Saturday 10am-4pm, Sunday 10am-4pm
What's Open: Ground floor, Chapel and Dome room
Tour Type: Self Guided
Special Programming: On Saturday the Yarra Gospel Choir will be singing in the Norla Dome at 1pm.

The Nicholson Residence by MGA+D is proof that a home doesn't need to be of a traditional build to provide the same comfort and amenities as a classically-styled abode. Located in Australia, the Nicholson Residence is a renovated Federation style house that makes use of its elongated plot of land to create a unique and explicitly streamlined, modern house. The stark white walls of the space play harmoniously into the heavy grain of the light wood that characterizes the exterior build as well as the interior floor space. Utilizing large expanses of glass, both the roof and rear walls of the residence allow an almost al fresco experience for dwellers while also complementing the natural environment in which the home is located.

MTA Megaprojects: Behind Schedule and Over Budget
Back in March, the MTA said the Fulton Transit Center would open on June 26, which is this Thursday. But that was then. Now, the agency says testing of some key systems is not yet complete — and the subway hub needs another 60 to 90 days.
"Critical testing and commissioning of key systems is still not complete," said Patrick Askew, who is with the MTA's independent engineering consultant (IEC). "In addition, project has not yet met the standards for a code compliance certificate."
The delay, which had been hinted about last week, was formally announced at Monday's MTA committee meetings.
MTA engineer Uday Durg said the contractual completion date for the Fulton Transit Center is December 2014.
Which is also when the MTA says the #7 subway extension — originally slated to open by the end of the Bloomberg administration — will hopefully open. That project has had problems with its escalators, elevators and ventilation fans.
But the agency's IEC also threw some cold water on that start date and said February 2015 is more likely.
There's a third delay: East Side Access, which will bring Long Island Rail Road trains into Grand Central Station, was originally slated to be done in 2009 and cost $4.3 billion. Now the MTA says it will be finished in 2022. Its new budget: nearly $10.2 billion.
But there's good news. The first phase of the Second Avenue Subway is on track to open in December 2016. At least for now.

On Nov. 28, the Thrashers embarrassed the Bruins. On Dec. 23, the Bruins embarrassed the Thrashers. Thursday night, they simply played a good game that ended in a 3-2 shootout victory for the Thrashers.
Tim Stapleton beat Tim Thomas [1] with a snapshot to open the shootout, and Bryan Little scored five-hole to seal it for Atlanta. Tyler Seguin [2] and Blake Wheeler [3] failed to convert on their opportunities.
Thrashers defenseman Tobias Enstrom scored on the power play in each of the first two periods, while Patrice Bergeron [4] and Blake Wheeler scored for the Bruins in the first and second periods, respectively.
The Bruins have now picked up points in four straight games dating back to last week's 4-1 victory over the Thrashers. They are now 2-0-1 on their current five-game road trip. They will face the Sabres in Buffalo
Tim Thomas is now 18-4-4 on the season.
– From a statistical standpoint, there still isn't much from Nathan Horton [5]. He — along with his linemates — played a much-improved game Thursday, but it marked the 13th game this season that Horton has had one shot or zero shots on goal. His lone shot came on a fairly strong shift he had with the Bruins on the power play in the third period.
Milan Lucic's streak of games without a point is now at six games.
– The Thrashers had scored on just three of their last 37 power plays entering Thursday night's game, but were able to capitalize twice with the man advantage on a pair of goals from Enstrom.
– Dustin Byfuglien showing up on the scoring sheet in a game against the Bruins should come as a surprise at this point. His first-period assist on Enstom's first tally was his sixth point against the B's this season. He's done more damage vs. the B's this season than he has against any other club.
Daniel Paille [6] did a nice job of limiting what the Thrashers' blueliner could do against the B's when he brought started a scuffle that landed both players in the box for roughing in the second period. The Bruins win out in that exchange every time.
– Even before he scored in the second period, it was quite apparent that Wheeler was one of the better players on the ice. He led the Bruins in shots on goal in the first period with three and went on to tie his season high of five.
Though linemate Michael Ryder's three-game point streak came to an end, he gave yet another standout effort. The Wheeler – Krejci – Ryder line was once again sound in creating opportunities for the Bruins offensively.
– The Bruins were on a mission in the third period. They drew a pair of penalties (both of which were tripping calls on Thrashers center Jim Slater) while committing none and outshot the Thrashers, 18-7.
– Johnny Boychuk [7] was the lone Bruins player to post a plus-2 in regulation. A nice way to follow up his minus-1 Tuesday.

A shared parenting plan is a plan that sets forth the arrangements for the parenting of a minor child or children (children that are 18 and under and not graduated from high school) The term shared is a term that does not denote ownership, as does the term custody. One gets "custody" or ownership of personal property. One does not get ownership of a child. Both parents have rights to parenting time. Some courts prefer to see the parenting arrangement set forth as a Shared Parenting Plan.
1. Fifty-Fifty Allocation of Time
Many parents think that if they term a parenting arrangement shared that each parent has the exact same amount of time with the child. This is not true. Courts have created a set schedule for a standard parenting arrangement for situations where one parent is the residential parent and the other has the standard parenting time. If one is seeking shared parenting, there is no set schedule. The schedule ends up being what the parties agree to or what the court orders after investigation and hearing. Many times, parties simply incorporate the court's standard schedule into the shared parenting plan.
2. No Child Support
Many parents believe that if they term a parenting arrangement "shared" that they then are relived from paying child support. This is not true. Both parents are still obligated to support their children. They can not forgo that obligation by terming a parenting arrangement shared. A shared parenting plan may call for deviation of child support. That is, given specific reasons, the child support order may increased or decreased. A deviation usually needs to be fact specific and will be reviewed by most courts for approval.
3. No Decisions Without Agreement Of Other Parent
A shared parenting plan does not mean that there always needs to be complete agreement between the parties for every decision regarding the children. This usually is a concern with medical/orthodontic treatment. This is the issue of necessary vs cosmetic. The plan will usually provide for the procedure for obtaining second opinions.
Parenting arrangements need to include more than simply the time allocation for the children with each parent. A complete parenting plan should include the following:
Divorce Child support Parenting plans and divorce Child custody Child support order Child support and custody Child support and medical expenses Lawsuits and disputes Parenting plan

In 1977, Jane and Jean Ford, the twin sisters behind Benefit, met a local dancer who requested a long-lasting red pigment that wouldn't budge during her shows. They listened, and this beloved rose lip and cheek stain was born. Year after year, it's a bestseller for good reason: the translucent color leaves us with a natural flush so we look pretty, not made-up.
I did not like how this stain worked on my lips, but it worked a little better on cheeks. It is intensely concentrated and takes a lot of blending or it is uneven in application. I was kind of strange and I am not used to using something like this. For someone who doesn't like make up or the consistency of cakey powders or greasy creams, this is great.3

PGA Championship 2012: Vijay Singh and Overlooked Contenders at Ocean CourseApril 2, 2017
Move over, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy.
Let's leave some room in the media frenzy for the underrated talents competing at the Ocean Course for the 2012 PGA Championship.
Several golfers, including veteran Vijay Singh, have come out to just the right start at the year's final major tournament. Singh is shooting a remarkable three-under par and is currently tied for first place on the leaderboard along with Tiger Woods and Sweden talent Carl Pettersson.
Singh, a three-time major champion, will be competing with a top-notch field this weekend. But the underdog will surely be giving the field a run for their money.
These are the three overlooked contenders set to surprise the field in the next few rounds.
Vijay Singh (-4)
The three-time major champion has been on the tour since 1993, and he's right in the mix for the top spot after a tremendous second day.
Singh shot an impressive three-under par in Round 2, which has propelled him to the top of the tourney standings. Not to mention, this tremendous talent posted a respectable score of one-under to start things off.
He has been victorious at the PGA Championship twice, with his most recent victory coming in 2004.
With his experience at the tourney and solid play through Rounds 1 and 2, there is no counting out Vijay on the weekend.
Blake Adams (-1)
He has made little to no push in any major since joining the tour in 2001 and has posted just one top-10 finish this season.
But rest assured, the American will contend for a title when it's all said and done. With an impressive Round 1 score and respectable even-par finish in Round 2, it's safe to say it's about time he puts his talents forth to the fullest.
Much of his success on Day 2 was in his ability to keep the balls on the fairway and put forth solid yardage under them as well. This season, his 66 percent driving accuracy is good for 26th on the tour, and it's this strength of his that has been critical in coming out to a solid start.
Pat Perez (+1)
Another American fans cannot sleep on is Pat Perez, as he has come out with an outright impressive first round at the Ocean Course.
Perez shot a mere four-over par on Day 2, and that now has him at one-under par overall. However, he is still tied for 15th place and right in the hunt for a run at the title.
He has two top-10 finishes this season, including a third-place score at the Reno-Taho Open most recently.
