SARATOGA SPRINGS -- Public Safety Commissioner Christian Mathiesen wants to hear from city residents.
He will host his second public forum Wednesday night, bringing along administrators from the police and fire departments as well as code enforcement officials in the hope of "opening the lines of communication" with the public at large.
"It's always been my contention that in our commission form of government it is hard to get information from our citizens," the commissioner said Tuesday. "I want to give people the opportunity to ask questions and hear what people's concerns are."
To that end, Mathiesen has arranged his second forum in what he hopes will be a three-times-a-year opportunity to interact with the public.
Residents are allotted two minutes each to speak at the opening of City Council meetings, but Mathiesen said his public forums will provide opportunity for interaction.
"I want people to know where I stand on issues and what we've been doing," he said, adding that he will likely use the opportunity to talk about some of the recent drug arrests in the city and the vacant property registry just adopted by the City Council.
Mathiesen said it will also give residents a chance to ask any questions about the year-end report on the status of the city's ambulance program, which is available on the city's website.
The open forum will be preceded by a presentation from Assistant Police Chief Greg Veitch on the police department's protocols and strategies for dealing with an "active shooter" in a public place.
The meeting will start at 7 Wednesday night on the third floor of City Hall in Saratoga Music Hall.

A BURNLEY builder who got almost £14,000 he wasn't entitled to in benefits must pay it all back, plus a £300 adjustment for inflation.
Rodney Capstick, 63, had claimed pension credit and had told the Department for Work and Pensions he was working part-time.
But, investigations were carried out with a letting agency where it was thought he was doing building work on various properties. He was earning more than he was telling the department and had a business account, Burnley Crown Count had heard.
Capstick had earlier been convicted by Pennine magistrates, after a trial, of falling to promptly notify a change in circumstances, between December 2009 and June 2012.
Capstick, of Hufling Lane, Burnley, who had no previous convictions, had been committed to the higher court for sentence and had been given a 12-month community order, with 80 hours unpaid work. He had been overpaid £13, 920 over the two-and- half years.
He was back in court for a Proceeds of Crime Hearing yesterday.
Amanda Johnson, for the prosecution, said the benefit figure, adjusted for inflation, was £14,266.93, and the realisable amount was the same figure. She said Capstick would have to pay it in instalments out of his income, as he had no assets to sell.
Recorder Timothy Ryder ordered Capstick hand over £14,266.93 within six months. If he cannot do that before September 27, Capstick can apply for more time, but if the sum is not paid he could serve eight months in jail in default.
The sentencing hearing had earlier been told how Capstick, a self-employed builder, had made a genuine claim for pension credit in November 2009, on the basis of business problems due to the economic climate.
He notified the DWP he had started work again, but part-time. Capstick had provided information and there was then surveillance undertaken. Miss Johnson had told the court that having heard of that, Capstick allegedly called the benefits department, indicating he would close his claim to pension credit as his earnings had increased.

Screams aside, Peavy satisfied with outing
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- It would be tough to guess Jake Peavy was satisfied with his 81-pitch effort against White Sox Minor Leaguers Wednesday at Camelback Ranch.
After all, the always vocal right-hander unofficially set a new personal record for most yells of displeasure after throwing a pitch and missing his desired location. But a smiling and upbeat Peavy gave high marks to the work put in, as he got up and down five times.
And as for his colorful mound commentary?
"In that environment, sometimes I don't want to get crazy, and you guys think I'm some kind of animal down there screaming and yelling, scaring children," Peavy said with a laugh. "I got a couple guys' families back there out seeing his first Spring Training, and I'm out yelling and screaming on the mound. The intensity wasn't quite Game 7 of the World Series, but at the same time a lot of good work."
Peavy pointed out that of his 81 pitches, he threw approximately 60 of them out of slide steps as if there were a fast runner such as Detroit's Austin Jackson on first base. That work essentially covered his last three innings.
"That's good work," Peavy said, "and you see a difference in the first few innings: the timing, the rhythm, everything was on point. To be able to work on stuff like that is huge for me."
Next up for Peavy is another Minor League game, during Monday's team off-day, which he joked would be a challenge given his having to get up at 7:30 a.m. and face hitters a few hours later. He will follow that start with an actual Cactus League game, against the Dodgers on March 23, although he does not appear worried about where the work takes place as long as he is getting physically and mentally sound.
He is also not concerned about coming into a dead-arm mode right now, looking at it all more as part of the preparatory process.
"I don't feel crazy fresh simply because we're tearing the body down, and we'll tear the body down for one or two more starts," said Peavy, who gave up a two-run homer to Minor Leaguer Dan Black in Wednesday's action. "We've been working hard in between these times, too, sometimes two side sessions or two throw-in sessions, just trying to work on stuff.
"So you kind of tire your arm out, plus you're building up, you're throwing more and more pitches every time out, so you're getting tired, you're getting in shape. To get in shape, you have to do something. You have to stretch yourself until you get comfortable doing that.
"Here with these next couple after this one, I'm going to take it as really like the season. I'm gonna start a little bit of throwing, a bullpen session, get ready to go in the games and try to be a little fresher going into the season. But I think this is the time of Spring Training where, most guys would tell you, my arm doesn't feel as good as it did two weeks ago, which is normal."

(CBS News) Aimee Copeland continues to fight necrotizing fasciitis in a Ga. Hospital, her family says.
Aimee Copeland, 24, battles flesh-eating necrotizing fasciitis following zip-lining accident
Aimee Copeland, 24-year-old with necrotizing fasciitis, remains in critical condition
Over the weekend, the 24-year-old psychology graduate student's friends and family updated a blog on the University of West Georgia psychology department's student website. The family previouslyhad been concerned Aimee would lose her hands and other foot because the blood vessels had died. On Saturday evening, the blog said that Aimee will suffer the loss of her fingers, but doctors at JMS Burn Center in Augusta Ga. are hopeful of bringing life back to the palms of her hands, which would allow her the muscle control to eventually use prosthetic devices.
"They are awaiting a safe time before embarking on surgery for this," the blog read.
In a link to a separate post, Copeland's father Andy updated the public on his daughter's condition in his own words. A post from Saturday morning reads: "The miracle continues. The words I hear from the medical professionals to describe Aimee's continued recovery are 'astonishing,' 'incredible,' 'confounding,' 'mind boggling' and 'unbelievable.' All those are fitting words."
Andy writes that Aimee's lungs had been stressed and damaged, to the point where she needed 100 percent pure oxygen fed to her through a respirator. The doctors have been gradually reducing that oxygen over the past week and towards the end of Saturday, she was down to 33 percent oxygen.
"This puts her 12 points away from Aimee Day," her dad said. That is the day when Aimee's oxygen intake will be taken down to what people typically breath in the air around us, 21 percent oxygen.
He also detailed how the family has been communicating with Aimee, by trying to read her lips, shrugs, smiles, nods and eye movements. At times when lip-reading was too difficult, Andy started naming letters until Aimee would nod, eventually spelling out a sentence asking for her sister.
The family also spent Mother's Day together, while Aimee remained on a ventilator with 33 percent oxygen. Her dad said she hates it, which he likens to trying to breathe through a straw. She is also being treated with medication to reduce her stress from the ordeal, while her family continues to pray with her.
On Monday, Andy went on NBC's "Today" show and said ice cream is the first thing Aimee wants when she's able to breathe on her own, the Associated Press reported.
Aimee contracted the rare flesh-eating infection following an accident on a homemade zip line during a trip where she and her friends kayaked along the Little Tallapoosa River in Carrollton, Ga.
For the infection, bacteria enter the body through cuts and scratches and give off toxins that cut off blood flow, quickly destroying muscle, fat and skin tissue. The bacteria that infected Copeland, a bug called Aeromonas hydrophila, is found in warm, brackish waters.
The National Institutes of Health has more on necrotizing fasciitis.

Pitch count a case-by-case issue for Matheny
ST. LOUIS -- Mike Matheny has not been shy in pushing his starting pitchers deeper into their pitch counts than he did in his first season as Cardinals manager. And never has that been more evident than on Monday, when he had Lance Lynn throw 124 pitches -- a career high for Lynn and the most by a Cardinals starter since Chris Carpenter threw 132 in a start on June 29, 2011.
Lynn was steadfastly unconcerned about the workload afterward and actually employed a bit of hyperbole when asked about how much is too much when it comes to workload.
"For me, pitch count has never been an issue my whole life," he said. "I would never put a ceiling on it. If they told me I could go out and throw 150 if the situation called for it, I would. And I don't think I would have any issues doing it."
The club, of course, is not about to test Lynn's ambitious theory. For as the Cardinals are exploring this season, there is a delicate balance between allowing a pitcher to stay in a game when he still appears strong and risking future ineffectiveness or injury by pushing a pitcher too deep, too often.
When considering pitch count effects, it's important to remember that not all pitch counts are created equal. Different pitchers tire at different points in a start. And how hard a pitcher labors to get to a certain number of pitches is also a factor in how much wear and tear the workload will cause.
"I think definitely on this team we see certain guys get to a certain pitch count and you start to see certain trends," Matheny said. "Some guys get better as they go, and I think yesterday was an example of Lance doing that. Not that we're going to run him into the 120s every time he goes out there, but he's shown that he can make pitches when he gets to that level. There are other people that struggle when they get to the mid-90s."
In 19 of the team's first 37 games, the Cardinals have had their starter throw at least 100 pitches. At this point last season, that had happened 11 times. Only 10 times in all of 2012 did the Cardinals push a starting pitcher to a pitch count of 110. They have already matched that total this year.
Lynn became the second Cardinals starter in three days to throw 120 pitches.
"[Monday] was really the first day we really stretched somebody, and a lot of people say that 120 is really not a number to be concerned about," Matheny said. "Lance has been there many times, especially through his Minor League career. It's something he can handle. If we see something early that we don't like, it doesn't matter if it's on pitch 20 or 120, we've got to respond more to what we see and how they feel and the information they give us back. We watch these guys pretty close and see them enough to know when there are little issues, hopefully before they become big issues."

MARK Collier reflected on a job well done as his new-look Chippenham Town enjoyed a near-perfect opening day of the campaign at Biggleswade Town.
Goals in each half from frontmen Lee Phillips and Omar Simpson secured a 2-0 success for the Bluebirds in Bedfordshire as no fewer than six players made their debut for the visitors.
Collier admitted: "It is a good start and a very pleasing start considering we had six new faces making their competitive debuts for the club.
"It's one of our longer away trips and it's good to get it out of the way and get points on the board early.''
The visitors' opening goal came on 16 minutes when a five man move ended with McCormack crossing for Phillips to produce a classy downward header that left keeper Ian Brown rooted to the spot.
Collier added: "We scored a very good goal through Lee Phillips and it was one of the training ground, with good passing and movement, just the way we wanted.
"They pushed us back a bit after that but I didn't think Kent Kauppinen (Chippenham's goalkeeper) had a serious shot to save.''
Simpson's second-half strike wrapped it up, the British 400m runner showing his athletic pedigree as he sprinted clear from the halfway line before rolling the ball past Brown to score his first goal in a Bluebird shirt.
Collier said of the former Yeovil Town man: "That will do his confidence a lot of good because he hasn't played a lot of football in the last couple of years.
The victory was achieved at some cost as Phillips received a head injury that saw him play the second half swathed in a bandage.
Meanwhile, the impressive Conor McCormack left the field with a shoulder injury after finding himself at the bottom of a pile of players and misses tonight's second game of the campaign at Redditch United.
Collier said: "That is a bit of a blow because he has been one of our outstanding players (during pre-season).
"We'll have to assess it (the injury) over the next couple of days but he'll definitely miss Redditch.
Winger James Guthrie is still suspended for tonight's encounter, while striker Alan Griffin probably has another week to wait before he returns from a thigh injury sustained in the final pre-season match against Mangotsfield United last week.
However, midfielder Zac Evans is expected to feature after receiving his international clearance.

Topic: This evil disease
I have already posted a message tonight to " Fairydrop "Charlene as I felt her pain for her husband John's passing. I don't go on this forum often as my partner Mark usually hogs the computer and I would rather sit and watch soaps than spend my evening typing away, however tonight as my Mark is in hospital yet again having his 3rd and 4th stent inserted in his liver and small bowel, I find myself lonely and wanting to talk to people who understand.
Mark and I have lived with this awful condition for 3 years now and we are growing tired of it. We are still young and only in our 40's and have 3 children between us, (2 mine and 1 his ) and all we want is to be able to have a normal life together and enjoy the simple things in life.....share a meal together , a drink together ....be intimate together ... be a family... If anyone out there is going to preach to me and tell me there's a god and that it will all be alright, don't bother, because I'm an atheist and if there was a god Mark wouldn't be leaving me and those who love him in the near future....

There is nothing constant in this world but inconsistency. --Jonathan Swift
If the recent pattern continues we are in for some weak action.
We have had alternating days of strength and weakness lately as we seem to immediately forget what had just occurred. One day it looks like we are about to fall apart as buyers, show no interest, and then the next day we blast higher as shorts are squeezed and underinvested bulls try to add some exposure.
The good news is that despite this choppy action the overall technical pattern remains very positive. The uptrend that began to start the year is still intact and the recent volatility has actually helped to ease overbought conditions and create some consolidation.
The bears are going to argue that this sort of action is an indication that market players are becoming more indecisive and that this is indicative of a market top. They have a valid argument, but it is also true that this sort of action may simply serve as a pause that refreshes and sets us up for another leg higher. Once again, I remind you that we don't want to be bearish until there is some actual price weakness. Anticipating a market turn simply has not worked.
One of the more interesting dynamics at work right now is that after the straight-up run even some of the bulls are hoping for a more severe pullback. These V-shaped moves always leave a lot of bulls underinvested and they are very frustrated when they don't have an opportunity to buy on dips. Of course when we do have dips, like on Monday or last Thursday, there is some hesitancy to buy, but that definitely was the smart move.
In addition to the choppy action lately the biggest challenge right now is that we don't have very strong leadership. There are very few standout big-cap stocks that are driving this market. A year ago we had Apple (AAPL), Priceline.com (PCLN) and others roaring higher to drive the indices. This rally has not had that sort of leadership. Obviously there are some good performers and we have a good supply of stocks hitting new highs each day, but the momentum has been surprisingly sedate for a market that has been going straight up.
I'm finding the biggest challenge of this market right now is keeping money at work. When we have choppy action it tends to trigger stops and profit taking and it is very difficult to put that cash back to work by chasing when we have a day like yesterday. My cash levels keep increasing, although I'm still generally quite bullish.
The way I deal with this sort of action is to just keep looking very hard for new buys and not focus too much on overall market timing. If the market is healthy, individual setups should continue to occur, but if there is no follow through and stops are triggered quickly then we become more defensive by default.
We have a quiet start this morning and, once again, no signs that the market cares what occurred yesterday. Look for choppy action to continue.

LAKEPORT -- This year's dog licenses are now due for Lakeport residents.
Because of a reduction in staffing and budget constraints, the department is unable to send courtesy notices as in years past, according to Lakeport Police Lt. Jason Ferguson.
Dog owners are required to pay dog the licensing fee in person at Lakeport City Hall, located at 225 Park St., or by mail.
Owners also need to attach a copy of proof of rabies vaccination for each licensed dog.
Spay/neuter certificates are required for new registrations.
An altered license costs $10.00; unaltered, nonregistered costs $50; unaltered exempt, registered costs $25; a replacement costs $5 and the senior citizen rate is $5.
For more information, visit the Animal Control Licensing page at www.lakeportpolice.org or www.cityoflakeport.com/departments/page.aspx?deptID=76&id=209.
The 2013 pet license application/fee schedule form can be found under the documents file titled "Dog License Form" at the bottom right of the Police Animal Control licensing page or at www.cityoflakeport.com/docs/Dog-License-Form-24201384506PM.pdf.

So I'm curious about ways that people are using to keep from losing their discs. Aside from don't throw them terribly or suck at disc golf. I've noticed that since my form is still alil sketchy, I've thrown some bad shots on courses I've never played before. So what do you do to keep from losing discs at a beginner level on wooded courses in the fall? I'm not saying that any of these are perfect ideas, just curious about what works and what is a gimmick.
1) We tend to use a spotter
2) I try to buy bright colored discs that don't match surroundings
3) Always watch your disc until it stops
4) Disc Beeper- http://infinitediscs.com/disc-beeper/
5) Disc Lights- http://infinitediscs.com/disc-lights/
6) Stick-N-Find- http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/stick ... n-stickers
For Night
5) Disc Lights- http://infinitediscs.com/disc-lights/
7) Glow Paint- http://glowinc.com/detail.aspx?ID=51
I haven't used 4-6, but I'd be more likely to try 4 I think. Leaves could still cover the light. Also, I'm curious to hear if anyone is using #6. It seems interesting and probably a thought we've all had at some point.

Epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) reared its ugly head in several states this year and took many producers and veterinarians by surprise. EHD can cause severe die-offs in white-tailed deer, and can also be a concern in cattle herds.
Transmitted by the Culicoides family flies (biting midges), signs of EHD in cattle, though rare, include fever, ulcers in the mouth and gums, swollen tongue, excessive salivation, and lameness or stiffness when walking. This has caused some concern as it can initially be suspected as being a foreign animal disease.
South Dakota State University has been tracking EHD in South Dakota cattle. Veterinarians have reported that affected cattle in the state had excessive salivation, erosions in the mouth cavity, crusty muzzles and udders, and coronary band lesions with lameness.
The SDSU Animal Disease Research and Diagnostic Laboratory (ADRDL) has had 80 submissions from 35 different veterinarians for EHD diagnostics, the submissions from bison, deer, sheep and cattle. Of the 66 cattle cases, EHD was confirmed in 44, and the three cases from bison were all positive.
SDSU reports that most producers reported only one or two affected animals within a herd, and most of the cattle recovered without long-term effects.
Questions needing answers
Because EHD outbreaks are seasonal and inconsistent, the South Dakota ADRDL taking the opportunity to study and characterize the 2012 outbreak in cattle, but there are still questions that remain to be answered.
Some of the ongoing projects SDSU Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences Department personnel are undertaking hope to answer questions such as:
- How long do cattle stay positive for EHD antibodies? SDSU is working with a dairy herd in Hutchinson County to sequentially test older animals as well as new calves to get a feel for the persistence of these antibodies in an affected herd.
- What was the actual within-herd incidence of EHD in affected cattle herds? Follow-up calls will be made to producers and veterinarians to gain a sense of incidence now that new cases are not being reported.
- Are there any medium- to long-term effects of EHD infection in cattle? A cow-calf herd in Yankton County as well as the Hutchinson County dairy herd will be monitored for longer-term effects, especially on reproduction.
- How can the histopathology of the lesions caused by EHD in cattle be better characterized? For future cases, veterinarians are encouraged to contact the ADRDL and consider sending punch biopsies of any lesions noted.
Read more about EHD in cattle from South Dakota State University and Russ Daly, DVM, Dipl. ACVPM, here.

MIAMI - About 600 Christmas trees were given away in Liberty City Saturday thanks to a 'Secret Santa.'
Jorge Alvart couldn't sell his hundreds of Christmas trees because of construction surrounding his shop on Southwest 20th Street and 57th Avenue.
That's when Mike Fernandez stepped in. Fernandez, chairman of Simply Healthcare Plans, decided to buy every single one of Alvart's trees.
"When I opened the door the next day, the first client was him. He said, 'All of your trees are mine. I'm going to buy them,'" Alvart said. "If it wasn't for Miguel Fernandez, I couldn't get ahead."
Miami city commissioners Michelle Spence-Jones and Francis Suarez along with other volunteers played Santa's elves at the event Saturday.

(Makes 4 servings, recipe slightly adapted from The Good Home Cookbook)
4 boneless pork loin chops, about 1 inch thick
2 T flour or 100% whole wheat pastry flour (use whole wheat flour for South Beach)
1/2 tsp. salt (or less if using Pork Chop Seasoning)
fresh ground black pepper to taste
1/2 tsp. Penzeys Pork Chop Seasoning (optional, but recommended, see note for ingredients)
1 1/2 cups milk (I used 1% milk, but you could use skim)
2 tsp. butter
2 tsp. vegetable oil
Combine flour, salt, pepper, and pork chop seasoning in shallow bowl. One at a time, lightly dredge pork chops in the mixture, shaking off any extra. Whisk 1/2 cup milk into the flour left in the bowl.
Heat oil and melt butter in heavy frying pan big enough to hold all the pork chops. Add pork and brown well, about 3 minutes per side. Pour out most of the pan drippings, add 1/2 cup milk mixed with flour, reduce heat to low and simmer covered 30 minutes, stirring a few times.
Turn pork chops over, and add the remaining one cup milk, whisking to combine if needed. Cover and cook for 30 minutes more, again, stirring a few times.
Uncover skillet and if there is a lot of liquid, cook a few minutes more until reduced to about 1/4 cup. (This will depend on how tightly your pan lid fits.) Serve hot, spooning the milk gravy over the pork.
Note: Penzey's Pork Chop Seasoning has salt, hickory smoke, garlic, onion, white pepper, and ginger. Use any of those spice you have in very small amounts.
South Beach Suggestions:
Lean pork chops are good for the South Beach Diet, but this recipe would be for phase 2 or 3 due to the flour. Be sure to use 100% whole wheat flour and low fat or skim milk if you're doing South Beach. I personally wouldn't stress about the small amount of butter in this recipe which does add a lot of flavor, but olive oil would work well and would make it even more South Beach friendly.

Strangles: Fighting an age-old disease
It was described in veterinary literature as far back as 1251, more than 750 years ago, yet it remains one of the most commonly diagnosed infectious diseases in horses worldwide.
It's called strangles because symptomatic lymph-node enlargement can compress the pharynx, larynx or trachea of infected horses, causing them literally to strangle and die from asphyxia.
In today's environment, careful attention and proper management of the disease can help more horses than ever to survive. Farm operators who pay special attention to testing and isolating asymptomatic carriers eventually can reintroduce those horses back into the general population.Meanwhile, progress continues to be made toward a vaccination for strangles.
"There's certainly reason to be optimistic," says Corrine R. Sweeney, DVM, Dipl. ACVIM, professor of medicine, associate dean and chief operating officer and executive director of the George D. Widener Hospital for Large Animals at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine's New Bolton Center.
As data on the bacterial genome sequence evolve, along with other findings, a vaccine seems to be on the horizon. Additional progress is being made on detecting asymptomatic carriers by means other than culture, washes, etc. The goal is a simple blood test that could determine whether a horse is a carrier.
"Are those things done and available yet? No, but those are the directions so that we can prevent the disease. Until it's prevented, we can have a simpler, effective method to detect carriers to prevent the spread," Sweeney says.
Clinical signs
Caused by Streptococcus equi, strangles is characterized by a sudden fever (>103° F), followed by upper respiratory catarrh, mucropurulent nasal discharge and acute swelling with subsequent abscess formation in submandibular and retropharyngeal lymph nodes.
Fever persists as the disease progresses. Lymph glands swell and the abscess matures. Infected horses often become depressed, listless and anorexic. Lymphadenopathy is a major clinical sign. The lymph glands of the jaw and neck become painful and swollen within one week after infection. Edema accompanied by serum oozing at the skin surface eventually ruptures and drains to the outside of the neck and into the guttural pouch. Often discharge is noted periorbitally, with severe swelling of the eyelids.
"Nasal shedding of S. equi usually begins two to three days after onset of fever and persists for two to three weeks in most animals," Sweeney says.
"Purulent discharges from horses with active and recovering strangles are an important and easily recognizable source of new S. equi infections among susceptible horses."
Not only is horse-to-horse contact a concern, but also indirect transmission via contaminated equipment and personnel who handle infected animals.
"S. equi can remain viable in frozen mucoid discharges, but survival in the environment requires water, protection from sunlight and protection from other organisms," says Robert Holland, DVM, PhD, a Lexington, Ky., practitioner.
"Bacteria survive in the environment in dirt or on a fence for up to a week, and in water (troughs, etc.) for up to 30 days," Holland says.
Asymptomatic carriers
"A recovered horse may be a potential source of infection for at least six weeks after its clinical signs of strangles have been resolved," Sweeney explains.
Horses recently recovered from the disease may shed bacteria for several weeks after clinical signs have disappeared, even though the organism is no longer detectable.
Asymptomatic subclinical S. equi carrier horses are potentially infectious for prolonged periods via periodic shedding.
"The majority of those horses at one time had some symptoms, but they are probably why strangles has continued to be perpetuated," Sweeney says.
The carrier state may result either from incomplete drainage of exudates from the guttural pouches, empyema, and/or sinuses following rupture of abscesses. In some affected horses there is no shedding, while in others, especially those with contamination of the guttural pouches, shedding may persist for some time. Those with guttural-pouch chondroid formation may act as asymptomatic carriers for months or even years.

The Oscar-winning epic Life of Pi was released on DVD, Blu-ray, and 3D Blu-ray earlier this week. However, if you thought the special effects in the film were cool, you should really check them out in chalk art.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com to report an issue.
To commemorate the home entertainment release, chalk/street artist Tracy Lee Stum was commissioned to create an interactive 3D street drawing at L.A. LIVE in downtown Los Angeles. It will be on display from now through Saturday, March 16, 2013.
Based on the novel of the same name, Ang Lee's Life of Pi follows Patel (Suraj Sharma), a 16-year-old boy who survives a shipwreck with a variety of exotic animals — most notably a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. A key scene from this breathtaking tale of survival is what inspired Stum's work.
"My 3D chalk art makes you feel like you're part of the scene," she says. "It makes you feel like you're really there."
Sadly, as Stum states, her artwork is not meant to last. If you can't make it out to the display before this weekend, check out the time-lapse video and her completed work in the video below.

Toni Rajala wasn't going to get a one-way contract from the Edmonton Oilers any time soon despite coming off a fine season with the Oklahoma City Barons of the AHL, so he's headed back to Europe because he can make more money there than he can toiling in the minors here.
I'm fine with that and so are the Oilers, although I'm not so sure about fans of the team, based on all the Twitter buzz about Rajala, placed on unconditional waivers by the team so the final year of his contract can be terminated – he's not being bought out by the Oilers -- by mutual agreement.
Why did the Oilers do that? Well, not being privy to the conversations between Rajala's agent and the team, my best guess is because that's what Rajala wanted. He wasn't going to play in the NHL next season, meaning he'd be playing 2013-14 in OKC for $50,000 instead of having the chance to make $250,000-$300,000 or more back home.
Rajala, 22, a five-foot-10, 165-pound Finnish winger who had 45 points in 46 regular season games with the Barons (and 16 points in 17 playoff games), follows Teemu Hartikainen and Linus Omark back to Europe, where the seasons are shorter and the money is better.
Easy call for Rajala, no?
I don't understand all the fuss over Rajala, just as I didn't understand the brief uproar from a vocal minority about Omark when he went home after failing to do enough to secure a spot on Edmonton's NHL roster. Why didn't the Oilers at least trade Omark for some assets in return? Well, maybe because there wasn't much interest by any of the other 29 NHL teams. Let's start there.
Did Rajala have a fine season in OKC? Sure. Might he turn out to be a player? Maybe. That said, where does a smallish winger fit on the Oilers roster right now? He doesn't. So, while Rajala would have made $575,000 on the NHL end of his deal had he played with the Oilers this season, it wasn't in the cards.
Hartikainen's last contract with the Oilers called for $65,000 at the AHL level and $875,000 in the NHL. Having done less than enough to secure his future with the team and seeing the writing on the wall, Harski signed with Salavat of the KHL rather than bide his time in the minors for a fraction of what he can make across the pond.
Why wouldn't the Oilers just "loan" Rajala to a European team and retain his rights instead of mutually agreeing to terminate his deal? Well, even on loan Rajala's contract would count against the allowable 50 contracts. As far as retaining his rights, the Oilers obviously don't see the bright future some do.
Bottom line: if you're not a blue-chip prospect on the fast-track – Omark, Hartikainen and Rajala certainly weren't and aren't -- and you don't have a one-way deal, it comes downs to money. It always does.
Listen to Robin Brownlee Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on the Jason Gregor Show on TEAM 1260.
Is anyone else here worried? We haven't seen DSF since Grabovski signed in Washington. He's probably furiously scribbling down assumptions and line combos in an attempt to convince himself the Flames will be better than the Oilers this year.
Come back, D!
Thanks for the insightful commentary. You're right, electing to improve your financial situation after (likely) coming to the realization your NHL shot is growing more faint, is the move of a spoiled brat. Bang on. Yeesh.
I'm very surprised that Feaster couldn't or wouldn't beat Washington's offer.
I guess the Flames are really tanking.
Welcome back!
Monahan is their Gagner...the Flames story does not brighten anytime soon.

My quick thoughts on the season:
Indiana will hover around .500. probably win 15-17 games.
Purdue will have some Ewing Theory without Hummel. Still be a top 3 Big Ten team, and wouldn't be shocked to see them in the Sweet 16 or Elite Eight.
Illinois wil underperform, again. People are expecting them to challenge in the Big Ten, and they definitely have the talent to do so, but I just don't think it's going to happen.
Pittsburgh is overrated. Don't see how they are #4 in the nation, and the Big East in general is down this year.
Duke won't repeat as national champions, even though their team is better this year with Kyrie Irving and Seth Curry.
Kansas State is overrated too. Don't think they are a top 5 team.
UNC will be back to normal.
Butler will be fine without Gordon Hayward. Shelvin Mack will be big this season and a legitimate first round NBA prospect by the time March Madness rolls around.

AFTER dominating this match for long periods, Frome failed to convert pressure into goals and they were caught by a classic sucker punch as an injury-time goal from Biggleswade's Craig Daniel gave the visitors all three points.
With the match starting 30 minutes late due to holiday traffic, the first incident of the match in the fourth minute saw Biggleswade take the lead as Cameron Mawer stroked a free kick low into Darren Chitty's right-hand corner after Evan Key had been fouled on the edge of the area.
Frome were still slow to get going and after Chitty had saved from Lee Allinson a couple of minutes later, Frome's first real effort came in the 13th minute as a low left-wing cross from Jon Vance caused all sorts of problems in the visitors penalty area.
Suddenly it all seemed to click into place and Frome moved into a period of constant attacking pressure that saw Biggleswade defending with ten players and Frome looking for a way to break them down, with Kris Miller especially finding acres of space on the right.
A big chance came in the 30th minute as Miller was fouled on the right. Vance took the kick, a Rhys Baggridge header hit the crossbar and ball bounced out to Miller whose deflected shot was just saved by Ian Brown on the goal line with many of the home crowd claiming that the ball had crossed the line.
Two minutes later the pressure paid off as Mark Francis hit a screamer into the ribs of Steve Gentle, then picked up the rebound and let fly with a 25-yarder that flew low into the far corner with Brown well beaten.
Further pressure produced no more chances in the first half, but Frome came flying out of the blocks in the second half with Hulbert, Miller and Francis all going close in the first five minutes, and Brown did well to push away a Hulbert shot in the 61st minute that seemed to be about to roll into the the net.
Waves of Frome attacks continued to roll at the Biggleswade defence, and after Brandon Mundy had produced a great run and cross, Vance almost scored a classic with a 35-yard shot that Brown only just managed to save under his crossbar.
Francis had a great chance to put Frome in the lead in the 75th minute, as he was found by Alex Rigley at the far post, but he seemed to take one touch too many and Brown was able to scramble the ball away for a corner.
But then, strangely, the match seemed to change in an instant, Frome lost momentum, the jitters set in and Biggleswade became more and more confident.
Josh Ford did well to stop Sam Reed with a last ditch tackle, then Mark Cooper was forced to clear off his own line after Rigley had lost possession with most of the Frome team up for a free kick, Chitty saved from Zane Banton and the home crowd were now just hoping for a draw rather than expecting the win.
Chitty produced a great double save in the 86th minute as he was left exposed and out of position, but then just as it looked as if Frome were going to scrape a point, two attempts to clear a Biggleswade free kick failed and Daniel popped up to score the winner in the 91st minute with a volley into the far corner to really rub salt into the wound.
Brandon Mundy was awarded his second successive H&B Tyres Man of the Match Award by supporter Bo Vincent who had sponsored the match.

Editors: A media tour of the ITLL will be at 10 a.m. April 22 beginning at the east entrance of the engineering college.
The University of Colorado at Boulder will dedicate a one-of-a-kind, $17 million hands-on learning facility April 24 that was designed and built to provide real-world engineering experience to more than 1,200 undergraduates a day.
The three-story Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory features two large learning plazas and 30 lab stations outfitted with advanced instruments and computers. Student teams are tackling hands-on engineering problems ranging from water-pollution mitigation and software design to the construction of spacecraft instruments and assistive technology devices for people with disabilities.
"There is nothing like this facility anywhere in the United States," said civil engineering Research Associate Jacquelyn Sullivan, co-director of ITLL. We set out to create a learning environment in tune with the real world, a place where students team up, communicate and problem-solve on their feet.
One hallmark of the building is its inside-out design, exposing many of the buildings systems through transparent wall panels. Students can use more than 200 sensors throughout the structure to take the pulse of the building, including its foundation, structure and mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems.
They also can monitor its temperature, airflow, humidity and vibration for various experiments, said mechanical engineering Professor Lawrence Carlson, co-director of ITLL. We wanted to show the students what makes a building tick, so we designed this one with no secrets.
The dedication will include remarks by Joe Bordogna, acting deputy director of the National Science Foundation and Norman Augustine, president and CEO of Lockheed-Martin. Other speakers include CU president John Buechner, CU-Boulder Chancellor Richard Byyny and CU-Boulder engineering college Dean Ross Corotis.
The ceremonies will include a symposium from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. with the formal dedication taking place from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. Engineering Dean Eleanor Baum of The Cooper Union in New York and Joel Birnbaum, senior vice president of research and development at Hewlett Packard also will speak. A ribbon-cutting ceremony at 4:25 p.m. will feature novel inventions created by freshman students to perform the task.
"Our vision of ITLL is that of a K-16 facility, said Sullivan. Special hands-on camps are scheduled this summer for elementary and middle school students from the region. We would like to get more kids in the engineering pipeline and attract a broader range of students to CU-Boulder, she said.
The close proximity of lab stations to one another should enhance curiosity and cooperation among undergraduates from the college's six departments, said Sullivan. Students can wheel experiment carts up to the lab stations and plug their projects into a state-of-the-art, high-tech world for data acquisition and analysis. Each lab station is equipped with two interactive computers.
In one mobile experiment, students can simulate a groundwater aquifer complete with rivers, wells and various soil types to model effects of toxic spills.
"We think ITLL will become the leading example in the nation of a new way to educate engineering undergraduates," said Dean Ross Corotis.
The new building also houses six "smart" classrooms featuring multimedia equipment, computers and high-resolution video projectors, including two for first-year engineering design labs. First-year teams are designing and testing products from scratch using computers, hand tools and workbenches.
Past first-year projects have included devices for children with disabilities, inventions to make recycling easier, the design of pollution sensors and clever Rube Goldberg contraptions built to perform simple tasks in surprising ways.
The facility also includes four large studios for year-long senior design and construction projects equipped with computers and instruments and arranged much like lab space in a corporate research and development environment.
A simulation and data-visualization lab with 25 high-performance computer work stations in the new facility will help students model and predict the performance of designs before they are built, said Sullivan.
"The goal is to make engineering more exciting and meaningful," Carlson said. "Experience with teamwork and creative problem solving should make students more marketable and better able to function in today's engineering world."
Funding was provided by private donors, foundations, the state of Colorado and from a tuition surcharge approved by CU-Boulder engineering students. Engineering college alumnus John Drescher donated $1.3 million and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation of Los Altos, Calif., donated $1.27 million.

If, as Leo Tolstoy once famously said, "Spring is the time of plans and projects," then the Los Altos Recreation Department is right on target. A full spectrum of spring classes begins this week and the department has opened registration for summer camps.
Old favorites and new ideas
"Throughout the year, we survey a large sampling of participants in our classes and camps, with a special emphasis on summer activities," Los Altos Recreation Director Beverly Tucker said.
Tucker said the department's spring classes and summer camps reflect the feedback from active families. Working parents who enroll their children in summer camps, for example, asked for more all-day options. In response, the department has scheduled two weeks of full-day Redwood Grove Summer Camp. Another alternative allows parents to arrange all-day camping experiences for their children by mixing and matching enrollment sessions in Camp Shoup and Redwood Grove Summer Camp.
The department observed a new trend in its adult programming: Classes of shorter duration are in demand.
"People have such busy schedules that it is a challenge for them to commit to an eight-week class," said Peggy Ford, Recreation Department senior supervisor. "But classes that meet three or fewer times have been filling up fast."
In response, the department introduced diverse classes that have only one to three class meetings. "Raising Backyard Chickens" and "Harmonica for Health," debuting this summer, are examples of the shorter classes available to the community.
Community involvement
Tucker encourages community members to get involved and contact the department.
"If you are looking for something that we don't offer yet, let us know," she said. "If you are interested in teaching a class, definitely let us know."
Volunteerism is another way to participate in Recreation Department activities. Tucker noted that youth camps, Senior Center barbecues and outdoor concerts require many volunteers to organize. The department is always looking for extra hands.
"Plus," she said, "all of these events are fun as either a participant or a volunteer. Everyone enjoys them."

PALMETTO, Fla. — Florida tomatoes play a big role in retail and foodservice sales.
The state's mature-greens, romas, grapes and cherry tomatoes offer a varied basket of products for retail and foodservice use.
The quick-service segment is driving increasing demand for Florida round tomatoes, said Jon Esformes, operating partner in Pacific Tomato Growers Ltd.
"Some of quick-service chains have had anywhere from moderate to tremendous growth in their use of tomatoes, which is great for consumption," he said. "Foodservice is looking to go ahead and create some healthier alternatives on their menus to attract larger consumer followings."
While the greatest demand for mature-greens is in foodservice channels, grower-shippers say retail demand remains consistent.
"Demand is still strong on the foodservice side, and, for those retailers that are using mature-greens, the demand's still good there," said Tony DiMare, vice president of the Homestead-based DiMare Co.
Mature-green tomatoes remain an important part of foodservice, said Bob Spencer, vice president and sales manager of West Coast Tomato Inc.
"Demand has been fairly decent," he said. "There's a lot of interest in foodservice, but retail is tough. Retail isn't a big part of this business, but foodservice demand seems to be holding steady."
Spencer said roma tomatoes are maintaining fairly strong demand.
Though mature-greens remain the king of foodservice, other varieties, including cherries, grapes and romas, retain strong use.
Proper retail merchandising remains important for marketing tomatoes, said Michael Lacey, director of sales and marketing for Wimauma-based Tomato Thyme Corp.
Tomato Thyme suggests retailers merchandise its Handy Candy-branded grape tomatoes in display-ready cases.
When the grower-shipper first began sending product to Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the retailer was concerned the 4-ounce packages Tomato Thyme markets might harm its pint grape tomato sales.
However, the chain found it received the same amount of sales in the pints while enjoying additional sales of its grapes, Lacey said.
"Standalone displays can be merchandised anywhere in the store," he said. "We encourage retailers to move it up to the register or to the deli for impulse buying."
Tomato sales in general at the retail level remain competitive, said Rick Feighery, vice president of sales for Philadelphia-based Procacci Bros. Sales Corp. and Plant City-based Santa Sweets Inc.
"There's a lot of competition out there, including the Mexican and hothouse vine-ripes," he said.

A BBC Radio 4 fictional dramatization of Léon Theremin's espionage work in the lead up to the Cold War, written by Melissa Murray. Theremin was originally broadcast as the 'Saturday Play' on 3 January 2009 and repeated on 9 October 2010.
Léon Theremin, gifted inventor and reluctant spy, is forced to find a way to bug the US Embassy in London. Now he has to save himself and his former lover from both the CIA and the KGB.
Starring Tom Hollander as Theremin and Kate Ashfield as Alex. Also featured in the cast are Ania Sowinski, Trystan Gravelle, Stephen Critchlow, Malcolm Tierney, Janice Acquah, Jonathan Tafler, Chris Pavlo, and Dan Starkey. Directed by Marc Beeby.

There are books of the same chemical composition as dynamite. The only difference is that a piece of dynamite explodes once, whereas a book explodes a thousand times. ― Yevgeny Zamyatin
"An imaginary story of a Russian inventor & spy"
This dramatization is loosely based on the life of the Soviet scientist Lev Theremin. He was the inventor of the first electronic musical instrument that bears his name. His "electronic synthesizer" caused quite a sensation all over the world. Theremin created the Rhythmicon - the first electronic drum machine, the theremin cello and terpsitone.
As for the story, it is fictitious. Theremin wasn't kidnapped by the NKVD. He flew back to the USSR from New York, where he'd fallen in love and married an African American ballet dancer.
But back in the USSR, Theremin was imprisoned and sent to a labour camp where he ... designed eavesdropping devices, one of the most notorious was the Great Seal bug. The 'present' had hung in the U.S. ambassador's study for years before the concealed bug was discovered.
Leo Theremin, or Lev Termen in Russian, was a genius, but sadly little is known about him. There is a documentary directed by S. Martin, which is too inaccurate to refer to, and a brilliant book by A. Glinsky that I can recommend.
The performance was rather laid-back. T. Hollander as Theremin seemed distant and even dismissive at times, in stark contrast to the passionate and sympathetic Anna (Kate Ashfield). It's their relationship that intrigued me. Psychologically, it's a curious play, but do not expect any action.
All in all, I'd say I enjoyed this spy drama.

Kansas House Republicans acknowledge they're split over canceling a planned decline in the state sales tax.
Several Republicans said Thursday they're willing to consider the idea if it allows the state to pursue more cuts in personal income taxes. But House Taxation Committee Chairman Richard Carlson says the proposal is unlikely to pass.
The 6.3 percent sales tax is set to drop to 5.7 percent in July.
The proposal to cancel it is part of Gov. Sam Brownback's plan for following up on massive personal income tax cuts enacted last year. He wants to stabilize the budget while phasing in additional income tax rate reductions over the next four years.
House Speaker Ray Merrick also doubts Brownback's proposal will pass but says he's counting votes.

KAWKAWLIN TWP., Mich. (AP) -- Authorities say they arrested a 71-year-old man who reportedly drove about 13 miles into oncoming traffic on Interstate 75 in Michigan before being stopped.
MLive.com reports Michigan State Police responded Sunday night to reports of a vehicle heading north in the southbound lanes.
Police say the first report came in from Bay County's Frankenlust Township and the driver was found in Kawkawlin Township, about 90 miles northwest of Detroit. Police say he told them he was heading from Saginaw to his hometown of Alger. He's expected to face a reckless driving charge Tuesday.
No injuries were reported.
Troopers say southbound drivers repeatedly flashed their headlights at the wrong-way driver and had to take evasive action to avoid colliding with his vehicle.

SANTA CRUZ -- Two days after a local martial arts instructor was gunned down outside a popular Santa Cruz night spot, police have few answers.
Several shots were fired from a car at Pauly Silva, 32, as he stood on the sidewalk outside a bar on Locust Street early Saturday morning. As of Monday afternoon, no one had been arrested on murder charges though two men were arrested early Saturday in Watsonville in a car similar to the suspect vehicle. Police decline to elaborate on their relationship to the case.
Silva, who had been involved with martial arts for several years, began training at Kaijin Mixed Martial Arts in Santa Cruz about three years ago. He'd been in the Westside studio just last week, instructor Sam Radetsky said.
"He was a really good person," Radetsky said. "He really gave of himself."
Silva was a father who worked hard as a plumber and also was devoted to martial arts. He'd trained with and under Radetsky, and was a trainer himself. Radetsky described Silva as someone who was willing to come in on his day off to help him train, someone who understood that martial arts is about more than just "putting someone down."
Friends acknowledged Silva had some troubles in his past but emphasized that he had turned his life around and was a good person. He'd been convicted of assault in 2001 and served a short stint behind bars, records at the Santa Cruz County Superior Court showed.
"It's a tragic, sudden loss that's really been felt by a lot of people," Radetsky said.
Childhood friend Carlos Flores of Santa Cruz started a Facebook page called "Never Forget Pauly Silva" and said he was amazed by how much response it has generated.
"He was a positive person doing good in the community," Flores said of his friend.
Meanwhile, Santa Cruz police continued to pursue leads in the case but no one had been arrested in connection with the slaying as of Monday afternoon.
"We still have a pretty significant puzzle," Deputy Chief Steve Clark said.
Witnesses told police the shots were fired from a green or gray 1990s model Mercedes. Shortly after the shooting, Watsonville police arrested two men in a similar car off South Green Valley Road on suspicion of gang participation, probation violations and other charges. A third person was arrested in Santa Cruz on gang charges. Police declined Monday to say whether the men are connected to the homicide.
"There are no easy answers," Clark said. "We're going to have to put in the work and continue to plow through it."
Officers have collected a good amount of forensic evidence from the scene though, and "I think that will provide a lot of clarity," he said.
Clark said police don't think Silva was a gang member.
When asked if Silva's slaying was a case of mistaken identity, Clark said only that police were "working on a few different theories."
Shots were fired at Silva's twin brother from a car on Laurel Street last month but he wasn't struck, police said. In that case, officers arrested a 20-year-old man, Jonah Namauu, on suspicion of possessing and discharging a loaded firearm.
Namauu is no longer in custody at Santa Cruz County Jail. No charges have been filed as the case is still under review by the District Attorney's Office, prosecutor Charlie Baum said.
