It hasn't come up much in recent years, but once again the state Department of Natural Resources is in court over how much regulatory authority the state's Public Trust Doctrine gives it.
Now the matter is in the state Supreme Court, which heard oral arguments last week in Rock-Koshkonong Lake District v. DNR, a case in which both sides said critical issues were at stake.
On the one side are the lake district, Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, the Midwest Food Processors Association and others who contend the DNR is for the first time trying to expand its Public Trust authority beyond the ordinary high water mark to regulate privately owned, nonnavigable wetlands.
On the other side are the DNR, the state Department of Justice, and organizations such as the Wisconsin Wetland Association, Clean Wisconsin and Wisconsin Lakes, which say a favorable outcome for the DNR is critical for protecting water quality.
The case stems from a petition filed by the Rock-Koshkonong Lake District to raise water levels on Lake Koshkonong. According to the lake district, property owners and business owners believe low water levels on the lake have hurt property values and business income.
The DNR denied the petition, and a lawsuit ensued.
So far, the lake district has not fared any better in the courts than it did with the DNR. Among other things, say officials with the Great Lakes Legal Foundation, which filed a brief siding with the lake district on behalf of Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce and Midwest Food Processors Association, the Court of Appeals held that the DNR was not required to consider property values or business income of property owners located on the lake when setting lake levels.
A big step further
That's one thing, the foundation said, but the appeals court took a huge and unprecedented leap, saying the DNR, under the state constitution's public trust doctrine, could consider what impacts raising water levels might have on adjacent private wetlands.
By raising water levels on Lake Koshkonong, the court determined, it could possibly harm wetlands on the adjacent property, the foundation stated in its brief. That, it suggested, could open Pandora's box by endowing the agency with the ability to regulate all sorts of activities based on perceived impacts to private, nonnavigable wetlands.
"If allowed to stand, the Court of Appeals decision will greatly expand the authority of DNR bureaucrats to impose onerous regulations on landowners based on the public trust doctrine," Andrew Cook, attorney for the Great Lakes Legal Foundation, said. "The public trust doctrine historically has only applied to navigable waters, not private wetlands on adjacent, upland property."
The GLLF contends it's a clear mistake to interpret the law to expand the Public Trust doctrine to private non-navigable wetlands.
"Property owners and businesses with property near wetlands should be concerned with the Court of Appeals decision," Cook said. "Unless overturned by the Wisconsin Supreme Court, DNR bureaucrats will have virtually unlimited authority to impose regulations based on this newly found authority as determined by the courts."
The analysis
In its brief for WMC and MFPA, the foundation says the case goes to the heart of the proper scope of the Public Trust Doctrine, as well as to whether the Legislature has ever delegated to the DNR the authority to regulate private, non-navigable waters above the ordinary high water mark.
And, clearly, the brief asserts, neither the plain language of the doctrine itself nor the Legislature have done so.
"The public trust doctrine, incorporated into Wisconsin Constitution art. IX, § 1, holds navigable waters in trust for the public up to the ordinary high mark," the brief states. "The Legislature has neither expressly nor impliedly delegated DNR the authority under the public trust doctrine to regulate wetlands above the ordinary high water mark, nor could it ever do so given the limitations of the doctrine."
What's more, the brief continued, the DNR exceeded its authority by applying wetland water quality standards under Chapter 281 to a Chapter 31 water level order, even though Chapter 281 explicitly precludes anything in that chapter from affecting Chapter 31.
"The court of appeals ignored the plain language of Wis. Stat. § 281.92 and instead held that DNR had broad authority to apply regulations promulgated under Chapter 281 to non-navigable private wetlands," the brief stated. "Such an expansive interpretation of the public trust doctrine and disregard for statutory construction is unacceptable."
While the WMC and MFPA agree the DNR may set water level orders to protect the public's interest in navigable waters, or to protect property, presumably including private wetlands, nothing in that statutory language gives the DNR any authority under the trust doctrine to regulate anything above the high water mark, the brief asserts.
The statute reads: "The department, in the interest of public rights in navigable waters or to promote safety and protect life, health and property may regulate and control the level and flow of water in all navigable waters and may erect, or may order and require bench marks to be erected, upon which shall be designated the maximum level of water that may be impounded and the lowest level of water that may be maintained by any dam heretofore or hereafter constructed and maintained and which will affect the level and flow of navigable waters; and may by order fix a level for any body of navigable water below which the same shall not be lowered except as provided in this chapter; and shall establish and maintain gauging stations upon the various navigable waters of the state and shall take other steps necessary to determine and record the characteristics of such waters."
Standing cases on their heads
In addition to clear statutory language limiting the DNR's authority to navigable waters, the brief suggested, intervenors for the DNR stood case law on its head when, in their arguments, they repeatedly cited two landmark Supreme Court decisions as reasons for supporting the DNR – Lake Beulah Mgmt. Dist. v. DNR and Just v. Marinette.
For example, the brief stated, the Lake Koshkonong Wetland Association and Thibeau Hunting Club (Intervenors) pointed to the Lake Beulah decision to support the proposition that the public trust doctrine applies to non-navigable private wetlands above the ordinary high water mark.
However, the GLLF argued, that was not the case. Rather, the Lake Beulah case was about the state's public trust duties in regulating high-capacity wells and, specifically, the potential effect those wells might have on navigable waters. In that case, the brief asserted, the court found that the Legislature expressly limited the application of wetland regulations.
In the current case, GLLF argued, just the opposite was the situation – the DNR's water-level decision was based on impacts to the wetlands and not the other way around.
"Unlike Lake Beulah, this case does not involve potential impacts on navigable waters," the brief stated. "Instead, DOJ is attempting to expand the public trust doctrine beyond the ordinary high water mark to protect private, non-navigable wetlands."
Likewise, the brief continues, the DOJ relied heavily on Just v. Marinette County for the proposition that the public trust doctrine applies to all wetlands, even private wetlands above the ordinary high water mark.
Again, the brief asserted, that was not correct.
"In Just, this Court held that local jurisdictions had authority under their police powers to regulate land uses in a defined area within the shoreland to protect navigable waters under Wis. Stat. § 59.69," the brief stated. "According to this Court, the purpose of the shoreland zoning ordinances was to protect navigable waters 'from the degradation and deterioration which results from uncontrolled use and developed shorelands.'"
While the Court noted the importance of wetlands and discussed the public trust doctrine, the GLLF argued, it did not go so far as to say that all wetlands were held in trust by the state.
"The central holding in Just was that the county's police powers allowed it to enact shoreland zoning ordinances to protect navigable waters," the brief stated. "The state's public trust duties served as a justification for use of the state's sovereign police powers, not as the authority for the legislature's enactments."
The other side
But the DOJ, the DNR and their allies in the Wisconsin Wetland Association and Clean Wisconsin saw it differently.
For one thing, they argued, the case was in fact all about protecting water quality and the ability of the DNR to consider that factor when setting water levels.
"The outcome of this case will affect the DNR's ability to protect the quality of our lakes," said Elizabeth Wheeler, staff attorney at Clean Wisconsin. "The health of thousands of Wisconsin lakes rests on this decision."
The DNR had to consider the impact of raising water levels on adjacent private wetlands, she argued, because raising lake levels would flood valuable wetlands, which help absorb floodwater, improve water quality and prevent harmful algae blooms.
Thus the issue was indeed water quality protection, she said. Erin O'Brien, policy director at Wisconsin Wetlands Association, agreed.
"Protecting water quality in lakes is clearly within the authority of the DNR," O'Brien said. "We're confident that the Supreme Court will uphold the statutes which require the DNR to consider how wetlands keep Wisconsin's lakes healthy and protect adjacent property from floods. Any other outcome would be devastating to Wisconsin's lakes and citizens."
Clean Wisconsin, Wisconsin Wetlands Association and Wisconsin Lakes filed an amicus brief in support of the DNR's authority to consider wetland impacts and water quality under state statute and the constitutionally protected Public Trust Doctrine.
"Wetlands play a critical role in cleaning up our waters and preventing the smelly, green algae blooms that plague so many Wisconsin lakes," Wheeler said. "The irony is that if the wetlands are flooded and the water becomes polluted, few people will want to boat on Lake Koshkonong."

Deli Sandwich Spread / Ham Salad
Be the first to review
READY IN: 21mins
Recipe by Kit_Kat
One of the favorite lunch items in our house is the ham salad / sandwich spread from the deli department. After my mom took a brief part-time job at a local grocery store deli and learned how the sandwich spread are made. I had to come up with a recipe so that I could make my own and know what went in it--and how old the ingredients were.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb ham or 1 lb bologna, ground
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, diced fine
- 1⁄4 cup sweet relish
- 1⁄4 cup onion, grated
- 1⁄2-1 cup mayonnaise
- 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions See How It's Made
- Any type of lunch meat may be used for this spread. I use bologna, boiled ham or a combination of both.
- run meat through grinder with the fine blade, or use a food processor and process until very fine.
- Boil eggs in advance and allow to chill for at least 20 minutes.
- Combine mayonnaise (or Miracle Whip), relish, onion, salt, pepper and eggs.
- Stir in ground meat to combine.
- Chill for at least one hour prior to serving.
- (My mom tipped me off that the way that they were able to get the grocery store version of this dish to look so beautiful, pink and fresh is that they add beet juice to it! So I add a bit of red food coloring if I am serving it on a buffet so that it looks more appealing.
- Cooking time listed is chill time.

ought to be a personal experience. At the philosophical level, the
object of worship is worship itself. Nothing is sought as the end
result. However, in order to reach that advanced level, we need to
begin and practice praying systematically so that our faith in the
Supreme Being is gradually strengthened.
To start with, the object of our
prayer may be that the Almighty grant us the wisdom to enhance our
faith in Him so that we may make a deeper commitment as bhaktas
(devotees). Faith is the critical element without which any ritual
or religious practice is meaningless.
To those who engage in worship of an

Encyclopedia aims to catalog the history of Milwaukee
Just when we were all fairly certain the internet had killed the encyclopedia, a resurgence of the large, almost-forgotten resource books are making a comeback of sorts.
Multiple cities including Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, Louisville, Indianapolis and Cleveland have created encyclopedias – both print and online versions – and soon Milwaukee will have one, too.
No, it's not called Mili-pedia.
"The Encylopedia of Milwaukee" will provide comprehensive coverage of the history of the Milwaukee metropolitan area which includes Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee and Washington counties.
The project began in 2008 and will be published in print as a coffee table book by Northern Illinois University Press and online by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2017.
"Content will range from arts to culture to people to religion to media to nature to business," says co-editor Dr. Amanda Seligman. "We're building a civic institution."
The lead editors of the project are Seligman and Dr. Margo Anderson of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's history department. Anderson is also the leading historian for the United States Census.
Marquette's Dr. Thomas Jablonsky and Dr. James Marten serve as senior editors. Local historian John Gurda will assist, too, along with graduate students, writers and IT professionals.
The purpose of the encyclopedia is to make Milwaukee's past accessible to the masses, teach students to locate and critically assess historical sources, provide authoritative information and create a foundational statement of what is known about Milwaukee's past.
The encyclopedia will be accessed by students, educators, journalists, genealogists, artists, business owners, government workers, human resource recruiters, perspective visitors / travelers and anyone interested in Milwaukee's history.
The cost of the project is $2 million, of which $1.3 million has already been raised thanks to a $250,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, a $50,000 grant from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation and contributions from several other organizations.
The print version will run about a million words in 740 entries across 1,000 pages. It will be searchable by topic and entries will range from short and specific to longer essays.
Examples of possible entries include "Brewing," "Gertie the Duck," "Hmong" and "Hank Aaron."
If the print encyclopedia sells well, there will be a second, updated printing.
Although the online version of the project is easier to expand, the importance of having the compatible print version is important for those using it for research.
"It is a starting point with credible and reliable footnotes and a bibliography," says Seligman. "People will know it contains good information that will help them get where they need to go."
The Encyclopedia of Milwaukee will launch a teaser web site this fall, but currently has a Facebook page with almost 300 likes. Recently, the page administrator posed the question, "What is the first thing you will look up in the encyclopedia?" Responses ranged from the history of Usinger's Famous Sausage to wastewater disposal to the origins of different cultural groups.
Seligman worked on a similar project in Chicago while attending graduate school at Northwestern University. She is particularly excited about the Milwaukee version of this book.
"Milwaukeeans really love history," she says. "The encyclopedia of Milwaukee will allow them to explore the past on their own terms."

Words are, the management team of the hotel where Myla Sinanaj works has done investigation and found that Humphries' allegation is baseless.
Management of the New York five-star hotel where Myla Sinanaj works has run investigation soon after Kris Humphries made claim that his ex-girlfriend ran brothel at the place. According to TMZ, the management finds the allegation that she had sex with guests baseless.
Sinanaj's lawyer Joe Tacopina claimed Humphries and his camp tried to get his client fired. It's allegedly part of their "search and destroy mission" against her to make a point that she had better keep quiet about her relationship with the NBA player.
Rumor has it, Sinanaj has information about their relationship that could hurt the estranged husband of Kim Kardashian if it went public. She allegedly demands a large sum of money from the Brooklyn Nets star in exchange of keeping her mouth shut.
Humphries has contacted FBI to hand over evidence of the extortion attempt. He reportedly has multiple recorded messages that could prove that his former flame tries to earn quick cash from him.
In response, Tacopina issued denial. He told Radar Online, "It's absolutely preposterous for Kris Humphries to claim that my client tried to extort him for millions of dollars."
"First of all, as soon as pictures were made public of Myla and Kris, he changed his cell phone number and cut off all contact with her. Myla has never asked Kris Humphries, or his lawyers, for any money. She never asked for one cent from him."
"Secondly, Myla has thousands of text messages from Kris, he would text and call her at least 50 times a day. Does that sound like a casual relationship to you? Kris did tell her he loved her in some of the text messages. On days Kris would have basketball games, he would call and text her a lot as well."
"It would be pretty hard to claim that you are broken hearted if you are dating my client just two months after the marriage broke up. My client's relationship with Kris goes to the heart of his claim against Kim Kardashian and that could hurt him, certainly."

I Want That You Are Always Happy
June 17, 2011
After having listened to Australian indie folk band, The Middle East's EP, Recordings Of The Middle East over and over again for quite some time now, I was more than excited to hear that would be releasing their first full-length album. I immediately jumped at the chance to write a review of their newly released 14-track album, but upon listening to I Want That You Are Always Happy, it took longer than I had expected to fully wrap my mind around it, as each track exudes a very different feeling and vibe than the one proceeding it.
The second track on the album, "My Grandma Was Pearl Hall" has a very spooky, ominous tone with its dramatic piano and deep vocals, greatly dissenting from the delicate nature of Recording Of The Middle East. I enjoyed hearing The Middle East experiment with a vastly different tone, and was curious to see where the rest of the album would take me. The drama continued midway through the album with "Sydney To Newcastle" which opened with what sounded like a creaking swingset and radio feed in the background, juxtaposed with soft yet intense piano, giving the song a 1940's feeling. Again, this wasn't what I had expected to hear going into the album, but I enjoyed in nonetheless.
Despite the album's intense songs, The Middle East still made time for fun, upbeat tracks as well. "Jesus Came To My Birthday Party" is easily one of my favorite songs on the album, with its catchy guitar hooks and vocals, brought to life by sole female singer Bree Tranter, giving the track a refreshing element necessary to make a fully rounded-out album. The track "Months" reintroduces the soft, airiness of Recordings of The Middle East, giving off a Fleet Foxes meets Sufjan Stevens feel. After listening to such completely different songs, pinpointing the heart of the album became impossible, as each track maintains a truly unique sense of individuality that allows them to stand on their own without leaning on other songs for support.
Another one of my favorite tracks, "Hunger Song" also happens to break away from the solemnity of the album, with its beautiful harmonies and outstanding violin and banjo channeling the bands earlier indie-folk tendencies, leading me to believe that this is where the band is still most comfortable. However I applaud The Middle East for trying something new, as I Want That You Are Always Happy easily one of my favorite albums of the year so far.

text: Well the day finally came...yesterday and today I actually got to play the japanese version of Brawl. I will seriously say, and I mean this with all my heart, that this game will be GAME OF THE YEAR. From what I saw, there were no glitches or dissapointments. You actually have to try see a glitch. I moslty played multiplayer, but I did do about 10 mintues of single player. Well without further adu...here's my review of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Single PlayerLet's start with single player. You enter the menu and you have quite alot of choices; Subspace, training, event matches (which are also 2 player), All Star Mode, boss mode, and many more things. Subspace I only played Subspace as I said for about 10 minutes, but from what I saw it ran very smoothly and it was very fun to play. I was just playing on normal, but the enimies but up a pretty good fight. I was acutally having trouble trying not to die (and I'm not too bad of a player either). I only made it to right before you fight petey piranha so not much more to say there. Event Matches I played about an hours worth of these. Very fun and very creative. I played a couple single player ones, but mostly I did the two player events which are totally different from the single player ones. It was alot of fun trying to figure out what you had to do for each event, it will probably be easier with an english game but you get my point. What I liked the most about the matches was the diffiutly setting. That's right, you can pay ever event on THREE different difficulties (Easy, Medium, Hard). So lots and lots of event madness to enjoy. If your playing on the hardest setting the event get pretty complicated near the last couple events. We weren't able to beat a couple of them. But overall no dissapointments here. Training Mode I experimented with this a bit just to check out all the items...not much to say. Still pretty much the same as Melee... All Star Mode and Boss Mode Didn't try I might be missing something so check back for updates later... MultiplayerWell, best experience of the game right here...let's breakdown this menu...You got your regular brawls, torunaments, special brawls, and more that i mgiht of missed. All I have to talk about in this section is about the multiplayer...My friend had about 10 people over so I got to experience the thrill of huge brawl matches. We played at first with all items off except for the Smashball, which brings me to my thoughts on smashes...SO FREAKING AWESOME. They arn't as easy to use though as it may seem. Such as Link for example...you can't just expect to use it on an enemy without even trying, you have to work at it...same for the one trying to evade the attack...you can evade it but your gonna have to work at it. My favorite part was knocking the smashball out and then grabbing it your self. We mostly played stock matches which work the same way as before. Let's take a look at what I thought of the stages, items, and characters. Stages Every stage was created...well...creativly...I loved allmost every new stage I played on. Every stage had hazzards in it that definitaly added to the gameplay. The stage most recently updated on the Website for instance...I loved that stage becuase of everything it did to cause trouble. The stage might rotate, or a beam come out of knowwhere and destroy you, or maybe your controls might be switched so right is left and down is up. That's the creativness that I'm talking about. There are a couple stages which are intended to give you a break form all the hazzards, but I'm not syaing they were bad stages. Final Destination is still one of my favorite stages. I think I played every stage except for the donkey kong one called...72 bit...i think. Only one that wasn't unlocked. Favorite Stage:I'd have to say my favorite stage was the underground world of the Mushroomy Kingdom...so much fun because its alot harder to die because of the blocks that seal you into the room. You have to watch out thought when you get near the top because someone could easily hit you into oblivion even if you have low damage. Items Items...one of my favorite parts about the smash universe...not for serious battles, but for more relaxed i just wanna have fun battles. Don't you just love the feeling of throwing a mine on the ground in front of your opponent without him relazing it? Then as he tries to charge with an attack he is blown of the screen along with a couple "What the Hell?'s" Well brawl brings back all of this and brings even more to the party. There are many new items to enjoy. All of them are usefull and I don't think there are any useless items. Another cool feature is that you can now move while shooting a gun such as the scope...this is very usefull...here's an example. I started charging the scope one match and was almost to the full charge, but my opponent was advancing on me...all I had to do was back up a couple steps and he wasn't able to get to me before I blast him off the screen. Favorite Item: Has to be the gooey bomb...reminds me alot of Halo withe the plasma bombs...very fun to stick a friend with one and then hear him scream unitll it explodes blasting him off the screen. Characters Ok...the best section so far...the characters...This time around as you know there are many new faces...I did get to play most of the new characters, but sadly the only one I didn't play was Pit...I should of and I'm sorry I can't give you guys a review of him. Well lets take a look at all the characters I played... Pokemon Trainer:First character I tried...very fun to play with all though this is definatly not a character you can get right into and be good at. My friend easily killed me, mosly becuase I was just experimenting with all 3 pokemon, but also because you have to learn the strengths and weaknesses of each. Squirtle is a good one to start out with to rack up some fast damage. Then you can switch to Ivysuar and start putting the hurt on. But as you start to gain damage yourself you mgiht want to switch to charizard because its harder to kill and the strogest of the three...but also the slowest. Overall I liked the pokemon, but I'm gonna need to work with them before I really understand how to use them. MetaKnight:Next one I used...I'd say this characer is a very good one for begginers, very easy to get in to. He is fast and get rack up damage fairly quick. His gliding ability pretty much ensures that he is not going to die by falling...your opponent is going to have to know you off into oblivion to actually kill you. The only problem though is that your going to have to get your opponents damage up pretty high because he doesn't have that strong of attacks, just some really fastones. I loved his FSA, I was able to kill two people at once with it. Samus/ZSS:Ahh....one of my favorite characters...Samus is pretty much the same as before with a couple exceptions...nothing really different here...but after you get the smashball and use your powerful canon shot (which is extremelly effective by the way) you will transform to an even awesomer character...Zero Suit Samus. I loved this character so much that I didn't want to get the smashball and change back. She is very fast and packs a punch with her laserwhip. She can easily keep an enemy suspended in air while beating the hell out of him. When the funs over though, and you revert back to Samus, the Final smash that ensues isn't actually as weak as I thought. It zaps your opponents and then has quite a high knockback. Overall...wonderfull... Snake:I used him quite alot...but he is another of those characters your going to have to work with to get better at. When he's just using his kick/punch moves he acts alot like Shiek or maybe Captin Falcon, Stronger but alot slower. The best part about him though are many types of weapons he can use (frankly I don't know where he keeps them all...) You have your gerandes, which can KO an enemy with a high damage %, a rocket that you shoot straight up and can control, a bazooka which is like a side smash attack and has low distance. There are others but I found those the coolest. His FSA is easy to dodge also...but strong if it hits Diddy: Wow...this character is fun to play...might even turn out to be one of my mains...Very fast and agile...can easily rack up some damage and has one or two high knockback moves also. The feel of the character just made it one of my favorites. Also, Diddy's b-up move is a barrel blast...it sends you in an arch through the sky...it is also chargable...but if an enemy somehow hit one of the barrels while your using it, it will explode most likely causing you to die...Fun to throw bananas around on the stage...FSA very hard to use....but awesome nonetheless Toon Link: People say they are sad that he is in the game, that he's too much like Link. Well besides the fact that they both have swords...I didn't see anything else in common. Toon Link's moves are very different than Links and cause different effects. To me, it seemed like he was a bit faster, although a little weaker. The best thing about him is his down b move. Instead of steadily falling toward the ground, you rocket towards it with sword pointed down. Very good move to stop a fleeing opponent and putting the hurt on. His FSA has a shorter range than Link's, but I think it is stronger overall. Other Modes This will be the section for the menu, that I can't remember, one with modes like the Coin Shooter, classsic games, and stage builder.

African Chocolate: "Like Sucking on a Cocoa Seed . . ."
For the past few weeks, I've been deprived of seeing one of my dear friends, who packed up and headed to London and Ghana for three whole weeks. (Lucky, lucky lucky!) Although London intrigues me -- and I'm dying to see my friend's photos of the city -- I'm particularly anxious to hear about his journey to Africa. Going there solo sounds like a big deal.
As he handed it to me, my friend warned that the chocolate wasn't like American milk chocolate -- and that some of his friends didn't care for it.

Tempest toss'd ... flowers strewn in New Orleans's 17th Street Canal to remember the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Photograph: Alex Brandon/AP
The aftermath of the hurricane that devastated New Orleans on August 29 2005 is far from over, and its legacy includes a considerable quantity of post-Katrina literature.
The first post-K books were chronicles: elegies, eulogies and accusations. Infuriated by House of Representatives speaker Tom Hastert's assertion that spending federal money to rebuild the city didn't make sense, Tom Piazza wrote Why New Orleans Matters in just under five weeks (it was out in November 2005). Douglas Brinkley's The Great Deluge, Jed Horne's Breach of Faith, and Chris Rose's 1 Dead in Attic, meanwhile, all documented in detail a post-disaster medley of callousness, carelessness, compassion and greed.
But what of novels? "Non-fiction came quickly, but fiction takes longer, as we've seen from 9/11," says Susan Larson, books editor of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. "What are the narrative strategies for dealing with cataclysmic change in a landscape and culture? How do you maintain any kind of creative energy when you've lost your home?"
Two years on, however, the fiction writers are stepping up. James Lee Burke, who knows his way around catastrophe, addresses the disaster with a short story collection, Jesus Out to Sea. Although the disaster suits Burke's sensibilities, at first he resisted writing about Katrina, finding it "too depressing", until an Esquire editor asked specifically for a Katrina story.
He wrote what would become the title story of his collection, a lament in which two musicians, stranded on a rooftop, bid farewell to the city as it disappears. "That's the way it was back then," the narrator thinks. "You woke in the morning to the smell of gardenias, the electric smell of the streetcars, chicory coffee, and stone that has turned green with lichen ... New Orleans was a poem, man, a song in your heart that never died."
Burke's new novel, The Tin Roof Blowdown - the 16th in his series starring detective Dave Robicheaux - is equally suited to the post-Katrina world. Robicheaux - distrustful of authority, struggling against evil and his own base impulses - is just the man for the moment after "one of the most beautiful cities in the Western Hemisphere was killed three times, and not just by forces of nature".
Elsewhere, Joshua Clark's fierce memoir, Heart Like Water, may not be a novel but it certainly reads like one. It opens in the French Quarter, where Clark and his girlfriend hunker down to weather the storm, and evolves into a lyrical and damning account of a city and a populace ravaged and abandoned.
Clark had two essentials for survival in hand - an apartment in an undamaged building on Jackson Square and a bartending background that made him welcome throughout the Quarter. He takes the measure of the alleys and attics and looted shops, the bars and hotels filled with the suddenly homeless, dips himself in the warm waters of the Mississippi as the winds of Rita gather fury, and joins the small army of those who help. He drives to Lafitte, to Baton Rouge, and to Magnolia, tape recorder in hand, and listens as the survivors tell their horror stories. He vows to continue to document these places "for as many years as it takes, to see exactly what will grow from this new American landscape..."
And there is more to come. Tom Piazza is working on a novel due out next year. "It was all there," he says. "The characters, the choices they were forced to make. The downside is that every morning I have to slip into this Fryolator of intensely emotionally charged imagery and action." There is also talk of an anthology coming from NOLAFugees.com, a dark humour-inflected website that keeps the real-time story going.
But is the New Orleans of this new wave of Katrina-inspired fiction so different from the one that came before? Disaster and dread seem always to have lurked in this city's shadows, inspiring gothic horror stories and noirish novels; this is, after all, the birthplace of the "obituary cocktail" - a dry gin martini topped with a quarter-ounce float of absinthe. It's the city in which Walker Percy wrote "everydayness is the enemy," and where Tennessee Williams felt at home ("It is 20 minutes to five," he wrote in a 1973 short story published in French Quarter Fiction. "The night is full of hours. And the loneliest man may cease to exist before daybreak ...")
Meanwhile, in his novel Soul Resin, published three years before Katrina, CW Cannon conjures this prescient scene: "Like Farragut's gunboats and Hurricane Betsy, it came up the river. Still miles away, the approaching trident blasts woke people all over the city. They rushed out of their homes, some still in bedclothes, some dressed and armed. Irrational behavior set in ... Out of some buried instinct from a former era, thousands flocked to the levee. There they saw the Mississippi rising, rising, then overflowing ..."

One Direction bag their second Moonman after winning the Best Artist prize, while Riri wins the most coveted award thanks to her video 'We Found Love'.
More winners at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards were revealed. After 2 Chainz performed "Yuck!" with Lil Wayne and Green Day performed "Kill the DJ", "Robert Pattinson took on the stage for "The Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn Part II" presentation. Noticeably absent during the session was Kristen Stewart, who's currently in Toronto to promote her film "On the Road" at TIFF.
Following the new "Breaking Dawn II" trailer presentation, One Direction were once again mentioned as a winner. This time around, the British boyband were presented with Best New Artist prize, beating the likes of Fun., Carly Rae Jepsen, Frank Ocean and The Wanted. Handing out the award to the boys were Wiz Khalifa and Ke$ha.
"We'd just like to say a massive thank you to each and every one of you tonight... And all of the people who work with us every day, back stage, our crew. We have an amazing crew," said Harry Styles upon receiving the group's second Moonman. "To win one Moonman is ridiculous, to win two is crazy, and to perform is just absolutely insane."
The U.S. women's gymnastics team introduced Alicia Keys on the stage before the diva delivered her latest song "Girl on Fire" with Nicki Minaj. After the performance, the winner of Video of the Year was announced and it was none other than Rihanna who claimed the coveted gong thanks to her visuals of "We Found Love".
The evening was closed by a lovely performance from miss Taylor Swift, who cheered the audience with her chart-topping new single "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together". Clad in a sailor top and black shorts, the country music beauty got the crowd going at the end of the star-studded show.
Hosted by Kevin Hart, the 29th annual MTV VMAs took place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. A host of famous celebrities from Miley Cyrus, Pink, Rita Ora, Amber Rose, Emma Watson and more were all on hand to support the prestigious event. Other winners at the event included Demi Lovato (Best Video With a Message), Coldplay (Best Rock Video), Chris Brown (Best Male Video), Nicki Minaj (Best Female Video), Drake (Best Hip-Hop Video), and Calvin Harris (Best EDM Video).

The Xbox One is getting "Remote Play" thanks to Windows 10
Today at Microsoft's Windows 10 reveal, not only was it revealed that Microsoft will now have universal coding, (allowing one item to be coded and easy compiled for all Windows 10 devices), they will also have their own version of Remote Play.
If you are running a PC and have an Xbox One on the latest updates (likely Xbox One preview users will be the first to try) you'll be able to stream a game on your Xbox One to your PC. Just plug your Xbox One controller w/charging cable and you are good to go.
Of course there are some limitations. You won't be able to play cross network. This means if you are on a trip and your Xbox One is at home, you won't be able to play a game sitting in your Xbox. Both devices have to be on the network. Generally, data travelling over your own network (via wireless or via Ethernet cable) is going to be much faster than over your internet service provider's data lines.
Sony had the same limitations when they first started their "Remote Play" capabilities. I wouldn't be surprised if this changes by launch or the ability to play cross network connections (as long as both connections are fast and strong) is available.

Halo: MCC is still so broken you can now beta test updates
You read that correctly, Microsoft announced today that if you an Xbox One Preview user you can now sign up to beta test new updates for the Masterchief collection.
Again, you're reading that correctly. The game is still so broken they are now resorting to having people test their upcoming update to ensure it's working correctly.
There are some caveats though. You have to be a Xbox Preview user and sign up for the MCC update beta via the Preview Registration app. Additionally, if you get the update you will not be able to go into matchmaking or play with anyone not in the beta themselves.
More information can be found on 343's latest blog post.
Halo MCC multiplayer patch is out! Our verdict? It's still broken!
Yep 343 Industries just announced a couple hours ago that the Halo Masterchief Collection is out. This update along with other things is supposed to fix the multiplayer issues that have plagued the game since launch. The update comes in at approximately 1.5GB. However, as I have found the multiplayer experience is still littered with errors.
In the video below you will see it took about 8 minutes to get into a match. This is quite depressing for Halo fans. It's not like this is 343's first Rodeo. They did an amazing job of taking over reach (which literally needed to be moved from Bungie's server's to 343's own servers. Heck Halo 4 launched with almost no hiccups. However, we are almost two weeks into this game's launch and one of the most exciting features of the game is still broken. I'm of the firm belief the game was rush and didn't get the proper testing to fix these items before launch.

Docket: 95N-0304 - Dietary Supplements Containing Ephedrine Alkaloids
Comment Number: EC -1222
Accepted - Volume 326
Comment Record

Nutraceutical Corporation
Dietary Supplement Industry
Comments for FDA General
1. General Comments
FDA already has enough legislative authority to regulate supplements. DSHEA provides the FDA with enough legal authority to protect the public health. Why is it that when one person misuses/abuses a supplement then the whole industry becomes questioned? Why is it that a rediculously higher percent of people die everyday from prescription drugs but nothing is done? The FDA can already seize dietary supplements that pose an unreasonable or significant risk of illness or injury. Please let our industry be. Let us who find great healing therapy through natural dietary supplements continue to use these at free will. The FDA has finally started to fully implement the law by taking aggressive action against unsubstantiated dietary supplement claims. It has also said that good manufacturing practices are imminent. Give these efforts a chance to work. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Amy Kallenberger

Can we compromise?
Oconee County has disclosed its strategy in the aftermath of a citizens' legal victory in a zoning dispute. After a closed-door session, the County Council last night instructed Administrator Scott Moulder to explore the possibility of a compromise with the winning plaintiffs. Failing that, the county will ask the court to re-consider. A judge recently decided that the application of a residential agricultural zoning classification conflicted with state law ensuring the rights of those who wish to use their property for agricultural purposes.

Gift ideas for the family globe-trotter
When shopping for the holidays, shoppers often discover that the best gifts are the ones that speak to a person's passion. A sports fan, for instance, might want nothing more than tickets to watch his favorite team play. When catering to a person's interests, shoppers should find out what that passion is and then the process of finding the perfect gift becomes a lot easier.
Of course, passions can vary. For those with an on-the-go loved one who's seemingly always planning his or her next globe-trotting adventure, the following gift ideas are sure to please.
The Backpacker
Travelers come in many shapes and sizes. Those who prefer backpacking through the woods instead of jetting off to the nearest island resort may love a new backpack. When shopping, don't look for backpacks tailor-made for students. Instead, visit your nearest outdoor store and look for a bag that's sturdy and capable of storing a variety of items needed for camping. Daypacks are smaller and made for campers who frequently take day trips or shorter overnight trips. These packs are lightweight and boast enough room for a small amount of supplies. Medium-duty packs typically provide more storage and support than smaller daypacks. They often feature internal frames and can be used when backpacking through a variety of trails. An expedition pack will be larger and is ideal for campers who need to carry a lot of weight because they tend to go on longer camping or hiking trips.
The Road Tripper
Despite the high cost of fuel, some people still feel road trips are the best way to travel. Travelers who can't get enough of the open road would benefit from a gift card to a filling station, which can drastically reduce the cost of their next adventure. When going this route, shoppers should be sure to buy a gift card to a filling station their loved one is bound to encounter on the road. The card won't do much good if drivers won't be able to use it. Before purchasing a card, call the company or visit their Web site to ensure they have locations along your loved's one route.
Another thoughtful gift for the family road tripper is a membership to a roadside assistance service like AAA. Such memberships can prove invaluable if or when your loved one's car breaks down. These prepaid memberships ensure drivers will have access to emergency roadside service, discounts at many hotel chains across the country and even maps and directions to help them plan their next trip. The cost of membership is relatively inexpensive, but it can save travelers substantial amounts of money should a car not prove as reliable as its owner hoped.
The Jetsetter
For those who feel travel is best done in style, one of the often dreaded parts about following their wanderlust is sitting in airports or on airplanes as they anticipate the adventures that await them at their destinations. Such restlessness might be quelled with an e-reader that enables travelers to read books, stream movies and television shows and update their status via social media apps so their friends and family can follow them on their adventures.
Some new luggage may also make a jetsetter's holiday that much better. While a completely new set of luggage might break the bank, consider a nice duffel bag or a small travel bag with room for toiletries and other small items no traveler can do without.
Traveling is a passion for many men and women. This holiday season use a loved one's love of travel to help you find him or her the perfect gift.

Spiral Wishing Well Seed Grant Program
ProjectKindness.org is a global organization that exists to enhance the lives of children and families in a variety of ways. It is funded by anonymous entrepreneurs and corporate leaders.
Its original initiative has been providing a simple way to spread joy through the sending of online encouragement in the form of "Kindness Grams".
A project announced for 2007 is to provide initial seed funding for Spiral Wishing Wells that are placed in stores and other retail locations where they raise money for a variety of non-profit charities and other projects.
These devices have raised over $200 million for charities around the world over the past few years without requiring the difficult task of organizing volunteer employees to perform extra work, and without "soliciting" customers, both of which are very appealing to stores.
Because of their successful track record, ProjectKindness.org has chosen to help overcome the initial barrier of the cost of the devices by providing these interest-free Seed Grants.

Nuclear, water and fossil fuel are the primary sources of our electricity. Nuclear power is a clean and efficient source of energy. It emits almost no carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming. It can generate lots of amounts of energy. The designs of a nuclear are readily available today and no researching is necessary which will add to building cost. New designs make it safer than the old generations which were used in Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, but of course still, there is no such thing as a fail safe device. If a nuclear plant fails, it consequences could be catastrophic. The waste which it produces is also still a problem, and the danger is that it is the only power plant that produces radioactive wastes. The wastes are somewhat similar to industrial toxic wastes but more deadly and in the event of a plant failure, can cause a catastrophe for it can poison the landscape not just for years but even centuries. The wastes produced can also be used for the production of nuclear weapons.
Hydro electric power is probably the most widely used form of renewable energy source. It is clean and produces almost no carbon dioxide emission. It uses the potential energy of water from a high elevation that drives water turbines and generators. Hydro electric power plants are a cheap source of energy because not only is it renewable but it is also not affected by the rising cost of fuel or coal. However, using hydro electric also has its raw backs. To construct a hydro electric plant, a very large reservoir is needed and consequently submerging a very wide area upstream of the dam. This will in turn destroy ecological systems not only upstream of the dam but also downstream of it.
Fossil fuel power plants are the most widely used source of energy today. Most countries use this kind of energy source because of its large scale power production and continuous supply it provides. Although it provides large amounts of power, it also produces a lot of greenhouse gases and is considered as one of the major contributors to global warming. There are efforts to reduce the emissions of fossil fuel power plants but experts say that it will not be available commercially and on a large scale basis until 2025.
Wind power is probably the most economical of all sources of energy. The power of the wind can be utilized by using a wind turbine or what is popularly known as the windmill. They can convert wind power into mechanical energy, which can be used to grind grains or pump water; and electric power with the use of generators. It can be said that it is like an electric fan working in reverse, instead of electricity making the blades rotate to produce wind, the wind rotates the blades to produce electricity. Large wind turbines can be grouped together in a wind farm to produce large quantities of electricity for public use. There are also small scale wind turbines that can be used at home. They are very clean, renewable and can dramatically reduce electric bills.

They have been accused of a sluggish response to last nights riots, standing back and watching looters destroy shops and taking a softly-softly approach.
But today, when the Metropolitan Police had a chance to identify scores - if not hundreds - of thugs and looters, they released just 12 grainy CCTV photographs of people 'we will be speaking to'.
As scenes of wanton violence and looting shocked the world, viewers should at least have been comforted by the fact that so many of the rioters had failed to conceal their identity and would swiftly be reported to officers

There is a way to lull a shark to sleep… to put them in a deep trance for a few minutes, just enough so you can pet it or let others gently touch it and feel its sandpaper-like skin. It is called tonic immobility: a state in which the shark is placed in a natural state of paralysis. It is an instinctive reaction when stimulated a certain way. It does not harm them. Science still doesn't know the purpose of this reaction, but it is a truly fascinating thing.
Calming a shark and putting it to sleep is something I have done a hundred times, but I never get tired of it. I love sharks, and when I hold them in their trance-like state, there is a great fascination that I feel for these incredible creatures.
It all starts with choosing the right shark to handle. A great subject is the Caribbean reef shark. When diving underwater, you have to be completely calm and find a shark that is relaxed and does not seem aggressive. One that is swimming lazily and slowly. It may seem more intimidating, but the bigger ones are usually the more stable and willing. Additionally, females are almost always the easiest to entice.
When I spot one, I extend a hand to feed it, usually with a herring. Although it may seem like free food, not all sharks can be lured to it. Others who do not want the attention would simply swim away. The shark should be willing to take the food before you are able to pet it. When it comes close enough, I start petting it under the snout. That's where the magic happens.
Under the shark's snout are freckle-like dots called ampullae of Lorenzini. It is so sensitive, that if you twitch just a single muscle, they would be able to sense it. Because it is overly sensitive, it is also easily stimulated. So when you gently touch and massage it, they feel an overwhelming sense of stimulation that limits their mobility. Their bodies fall into a completely relaxed state. You can touch and move them around without much struggle. How long does this trancelike state last? About a few minutes. I have once handled a shark for 30 minutes in this state. If I want them to snap out of the trance, I simply stop stimulating and let go. Then they go back to their business like nothing happened. It is truly an amazing phenomenon.
I usually do this in front of an audience, not to draw attention to myself but to show them how fascinating sharks are. Tonic immobility is just one of the interesting facts about them and there are so much more people ought to know.
To lull a shark to sleep requires a great amount of diving experience and extensive knowledge about their behavior. I don't encourage inexperienced divers to do this when they encounter a shark. What I do encourage is for everyone to get to know these amazing creatures. I hope more people will love them and save them, in the same way that my fellow divers and I do.

Rowan, 1, is not your typical tri-color Beagle, but more of a chocolaty kind. She has a slight heart murmur but that does not stop her from playing or snuggling or just looking cute and living a long life with regular vet visits. She likes other dogs and people.
If interested in Rowan with the Arizona Beagle Rescue, contact www.azbeaglerescue.com or email@example.com.
