AUSTIN, Texas- Three winning images have been selected as the best of more than 1,600 entries from over 600 photographers in the Texas Parks and Wildlife 2013 State Parks Photo Contest.

"We were blown away by the quality of the photos, It was really hard narrowing it down to just three winners," said Chase Fountain, a photographer for Texas Parks and Wildlife and one of the judges. "Ultimately what we were looking for were pictures that captured magic moments at Texas state parks."
The contest ran from March 1- April 30 on TPWD's Flickr page and the winners, as well as the winning photos, were chosen in May from a gallery of finalists photos based on composition, creativity, and overall impression.
The winners were notified last week and will be accepting the following prizes:

From our friends
From a HUGE admirer
I just want to tell you that I'm a huge admirer of High Country News. The reporting, the stories you write it's so important to those of us in California who see ourselves as part of the West and share all its issues. And they're always all so well-written. When people I know move to the West, I give them a gift subscription.
— Dr. Stephanie Pincetl, UCLA
Inspiring words from a die hard reader:
"I subscribed to HCN for a number of years, loved every issue...I stopped subscribing because my work load escalated. It was ok the first few months but after six months I was regretting the decision...the relevance of HCN did not diminish. I continued to look at the enticing titles of articles in the online newsletter but couldn't read enough to satisfy the craving. So I'm back. I also kicked in another 50 bucks as a personal reminder that quality reporting is not free."
Robert E. Hall, Washington D.C.

Red-light cameras in El Cajon have been given the permanent stop sign.
Covered up by 10 tarps at seven intersections in the city since Feb. 27, the cameras are now history as the City Council voted 4-1 Tuesday, with Mayor Mark Lewis casting the dissenting vote, to discontinue its red-light camera program.
Police Chief Jim Redman told the council that during the police department's six-month study on the camera program, from Feb. 27 through Aug. 21, 39 collisions were reported at intersections where cameras had been shut down. That compares with 36 collisions at those same intersections during the same six-month period last year.
"That is statistically insignificant," Redman said.
Collisions rose by about the same rate at intersections around the city where cameras have never been: 34 this year; 28 last year. Bob Warner, a spokesman for the company that installed the cameras, said that monitors in the intersections have detected an increase in vehicle speeds since the cameras have been shut down.
The system, which includes 10 cameras that were installed in 1996, has been expensive for the city – during 2011-2012, revenue from citations was $360,000.
Meanwhile, the camera operators, Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc., got $361,200. Redman said the city pays staff costs for public safety personnel to look over the citations. In short, El Cajon subsidized the red light cameras to the tune of $62,000 annually.
The city's contract with Redflex was to expire in June 2014. Redflex stopped charging the city a monthly fee of $4,300 per camera once the cameras were covered.
Lewis said he wanted more time to look at further statistics comparing accidents at the sites of the cameras and said that preventing traffic accidents was more than just about money.
"If you have an accident and someone gets injured, you pay for it the rest of your life," Lewis said.
Councilman Gary Kendrick said that in 2011, "Redflex turned over 10,500 red light violations to the city. After the police examined them, they determined 6,500 should be given citations... that totals nearly $3.2 million out of the local economy. And because of them, drivers pay increased insurance premiums, too."
The average fine for running a red light in El Cajon is $490, according to city spokeswoman Monica Zech, plus $50 for traffic school. Fines paid by red-light runners are divided among the city, county and state. Violators typically receive citations in the mail within 15 days of the offense. The cities of San Diego and Escondido axed their red-light camera program earlier this year.
"I think it's an overreach of government, and costs our businesses," Kendrick said. "People don't like these red light cameras. If we haven't improved the safety then we don't need them. Rather see us put that 60 thousand into in an officer on the street."
Former city traffic engineer Trev Holman told the council that even though the increase in accidents was slight, it was still an increase. One El Cajon businessman whose store is near one of the cameras said he was losing customers due to concern of shoppers telling him they were unwilling to run the risk of getting a citation and so would not shop in the area.
"I still think this is the right thing for us to do," Councilman Bill Wells said. "You have to look at costs vs. benefits. The cost is the freedom of our citizens, finances for our citizens, finances for our businesses, the overreach of government and police officers off the street... If you want more citations, then by all means let's continue, give more citations to our citizens. But if we want to deal with public safety and less government overreach then have them taken down."

"It was something I thought about a lot after that sectional loss," Beachem said. "I wanted to really be a leader, play a team game and get my teammates involved.
I had to sacrifice some things."
Ironically, the things he sacrificed not only made his team better, but himself better as well.
Beachem saw his offensive looks fall significantly this past season, but his scoring production actually grew by about two points per game, to just over 22 points a contest.
The Bulldogs reaped the rewards as well, winning their first NHC championship and the program's first sectional title in 16 years.
Beachem was also rewarded on a personal level, as he is the 2013 News-Sentinel Boys' Basketball Player of the Year, voted on by The News-Sentinel sports staff.
"He was a leader for us, and he made everybody else better on our team," New Haven coach Al Gooden said. "He gave it up when he needed to, and took shots when he needed to."
The change in Beachem's playing philosophy fit his personality better than someone who goes out throwing up 20-25 shots per game. Beachem is perfectly fine playing the silent killer who hits big shots at big times without having to take over games from the opening tip.
Perhaps that is one of the reasons the four-star Notre Dame signee that ranks No. 85 nationally overall is such an afterthought when people talk about some of the best senior players in the state.
"Some guys get so caught up in high school with dominating that it is tough for them to change their game once in college," Beachem said. "It is a team game. I don't get wrapped up in what some guys say or when they take over a game by themselves. It takes all five guys making a difference on the court."
Beachem had plenty of help in that regard with New Haven. By the end of the season, many considered center Steve McElvene the most improved player in the area, while players like Jordan Hogue, Monte Stevenson and Jabar Ray helped shoulder the load as well.
But the individual honors also came for Beachem, who was invited to the Top 60 Senior Workout and was named to the 2013 IBCA Senior All-State squad.
Team balance is preached by Coach Mike Brey in South Bend, and Beachem feels he fits right in already.
"(Brey and assistant coach Anthony Solomon) talk to me about being a leader," Beachem said. "I needed to do other things, not just shoot from the perimeter, so I made some huge stops defensively and got my team involved more.
"I feel like I am definitely ready to do a lot of different things in college."
The rest of the 2013 News-Sentinel Boys' Basketball All-Area Team includes:
*Bryson Scott, senior, Northrop – A four-time First Team All-SAC member, Scott concluded his high school career being the top all-time scorer in Northrop history while finishing fourth in Indiana Mr. Basketball voting. The Purdue signee averaged 23.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game as the Bruins won their third straight sectional crown. He is also a Top 60 Senior Workout invitee and a 2013 IBCA Senior All-State selection.
*James Blackmon Jr., junior, Bishop Luers – One of the best pure scorers in the state, "JBJ" averaged over 35 points per game as the Knights won their first sectional crown since 2010. The All-SAC First Team member is an Indiana verbal commit and was recently named to the Indiana Junior All-Star core team.
*Justin Mitchell, junior, Wayne – The leader of a Generals squad that finished above .500 for the first time since the 2008-2009 season, Mitchell averaged 20.6 points, 8.2 rebounds 4.5 assists this season. He was named First Team All-SAC and will be the top returning scorer in the conference next year.
*D.J. McCall, junior, Concordia Lutheran – An Indiana Junior All-Star North team member, McCall averaged 17.2 points and 5.1 rebounds to help the Cadets reach their first-ever state title game. A superb athlete, McCall, a First Team All-SAC selection was a regular on the highlight reels with his emphatic dunks.
*Dwight Richards, senior, North Side – A transfer from Bishop Luers, Richards shined in his final high school campaign with the SAC champions. The All-SAC First Team member averaged 17.1 points and 8.0 rebounds per game and shot 41 percent from three-point range.
*Trent Van Horn, senior, Canterbury – A top 60 Senior Workout invitee, Van Horn led the Cavaliers to their third straight sectional championship while averaging 26.5 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. He also shot 86 percent from the free throw line.
*Brenton Scott, senior, Northrop – No longer the "other" Scott brother, Brenton upped his scoring average nearly four points his senior campaign, averaging 19.7 points and 4.2 rebounds this season. A top 60 Senior Workout invitee and a three-time First Team All-SAC selection, Brenton will head to Indiana State to continue his playing career.
*Nick Gamble, senior, Homestead – A First Team All-NHC selection, one of the best clutch shooters in the area finished averaging 15 points and six assists per game. He surpassed 1,000 career points in his senior campaign and his buzzer-beating three-pointer to beat Columbia City was one of the highlights of the season in the area.
*Josh Van Meter, senior, Norwell – A Top 60 Senior Workout invitee, Van Meter finished his career averaging 20 points, 3.8 assists and 3.0 rebounds per game in his senior campaign. A First Team All-NHC selection, Van Meter is the second-leading all-time scorer in Norwell history with 1,389 career points and his third all-time in assists with 314.
*Derek Hinen, senior, Columbia City – Hinen led the Eagles in scoring, averaging 17 points and nearly five assists per game. A First Team All-NHC selection, the senior helped Columbia City win 20 games, the most for the program since the 2003-2004 season. He was also named IBCA Boys Academic All-State Honorable Mention.
*Chandler White, sophomore, Carroll – A First Team All-NHC selection, White finished his sophomore campaign averaging 16.9 points and 6.4 rebounds per game for the Chargers.

SAN FRANCISCO — To climb out of its economic doldrums, America must restore long-term unemployment benefits, raise the minimum wage, ensure that men and women are paid equally, rebuild infrastructure, develop green jobs and enact immigration reform, U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer said this week.
"Nobody who works full time should have to raise their children in poverty," said Boxer, D-Calif., a former Marin supervisor who in essence laid out the Democrats' economic manifesto before a packed crowd at the Commonwealth Club of California Wednesday.
She cited President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's 1932 speech to the same club, in which he made a case for updating the nation's social contract to combat the Great Depression. "We must do so, lest a rising tide of misery, engendered by our common failure engulf us all," she said, quoting FDR. "But failure is not an American habit, and in the strength of great hope, we must all shoulder our common load."
She also blamed Republicans for the nation's slow recovery from the Great Recession, saying that the GOP pared down the 2009 stimulus package and "prevented us from making the investments we needed in job-producing activities" and later forced across-the-board cuts to the federal budget.
Boxer said extending the long-term unemployment benefits that began expiring for 1.7 million Americans in December "is the morally right thing to do for the economy."
Previous Congresses and administrations controlled by both parties haven't hesitated to do so without cost offsets in the past, she said, knowing it would both keep food on families' plates and stimulate the economy.
Republicans first refused to enact an unemployment insurance extension unless cuts were made elsewhere in the budget to offset it. But more recently, they've sought to tie an extension to the restoration of a cost-of-living increase for military retirees.
Democrats also are trying to raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 by 2016, and to index it to inflation from then on, because "we owe it to our working families at least to get back to the buying power that the minimum wage had in 1968," she said. And after that, Boxer said, Congress must pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to ensure that women and men are paid the same wages for the same work.
The Congressional Budget Office issued a report Tuesday that estimated raising the minimum wage would cost the nation about half a million jobs by late 2016, but would lift almost a million Americans out of poverty.
Boxer, who heads the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said rebuilding the nation's infrastructure will stimulate the economy by creating jobs and providing better means of moving people and goods. Noting that a water resources bill is now in conference and a highway bill will be marked up in April, she said: "I'm determined to get them done despite the obstacles."
Boxer said she's also working on clean-energy initiatives. But that, she said, is even more of an upstream swim because conservatives in Congress continue denying the human impact on climate change.
"Green industries are made-in-America jobs and they will keep the world from destruction," she said, exhorting her Republican colleagues to "open your eyes, look out the window, look at the extreme weather all over this nation including the terrible drought in parts of the West."
Finally, she said, comprehensive immigration reform will have massive economic benefits, including $8 billion per year injected into California's economy and a $1.5 trillion increase in the nation's gross domestic product over a decade.
Taking questions from the audience, Boxer said she supports Gov. Jerry Brown's determination to stay the course on California's high-speed rail project because it's a job creator and cleaner transportation alternative. She also said she supports former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for president in 2016 — and is actively encouraging her to run.

HAMILTON, ONTARIO – Denver (4-1) took the lead early and never took the foot off the pedal, using a 9-0 first-half run to coast to a 15-7 victory over Hamilton (1-3).
Hamilton jumped on the board first with a goal from Cody Jamieson on its initial possession. Denver responded with nine consecutive goals, sparked by a
Billy Bitter bouncer.
Max Seibald gave the Outlaws a 2-1 lead, showing his speed as he sprinted past All-MLL Defender Brodie Merrill for his third goal of the season.
Drew Westervelt tallied his league-best fourth man-up goal of the season and then
Brendan Mundorf, who earned Bud Light Player of the Game honors, followed with Denver's first shorthanded goal of the season – and just the third in the MLL this year.
"There are a lot of guys that have been together and we've added some new guys who are playing well," Mundorf said. "Today we started out the game well and it's always helpful to get the goalie on his heels."
Brian Langtry added his fourth score of the year to make the score 5-1 after the first quarter.
Bitter and Seibald each notched their second goals of the game to open the second quarter and push the Denver advantage to 7-1. The streak continued as Bitter notched his second career hat trick with a man-up goal at the 5:36 mark. He was assisted on the goal by Mundorf, who would add his second goal of the night just 29 seconds later.
Joe Walters broke Hamilton's 21:53 scoring drought with a marker at 7:51 of the second quarter to end the Outlaws' 9-0 run.
Mundorf, who set a franchise record with 10 points (6 G, 4 A) vs. Hamilton in the season opener on May 14, registered his second hat trick of the season off Westervelt's second assist of the game to make the score 10-2. He finished with eight points (4 G, 4 A) which tied for the second most in his career and third most in franchise history.
Brett Bucktooth cut the margin to seven off an assist from Walters, but
Nate Watkins found the net for the first goal of the season to give the Outlaws an 11-3 lead at the break.
Denver recorded assists on 9-of-11 first-half goals and the three goals by Hamilton tied for the fourth fewest allowed for a half in team annals.
Bill McGlone registered his fourth goal of the season to start the second half before Hamilton scored back-to-back goals to cut its deficit to 12-5.
The Outlaws responded with consecutive goals of their own to push the lead to 14-5. Mundorf saw his shot deflected off Westervelt and into the net and then Peet Poillon netted his first of the game and 11
th of the season to end the third quarter with Denver in front 14-5.
Adam Ghitelman made his MLL debut in goal, replacing
Jesse Schwartzman in the fourth quarter after Schwartzman saved 9-of-14 shots he faced (.643 pct.).
Mundorf added his fourth goal of the game, which marked his 13
th career four-goal output, to put the Outlaws ahead by double digits.
David Earl capped off the game's scoring with a 2-pointer to bring the final margin to 15-7.
"We played well for four quarters and that's what we preached at halftime," said Head Coach
Tom Slate. "We said treat it like the score was 0-0 and play like you did in the first half and good things will happen – which they did."
The Outlaws return to action at home vs. Long Island at 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 25 at INVESCO Field at Mile High. Fans have the opportunity for a private meet-and-greet with Denver Broncos legend
Terrell Davis, who will be on hand to autograph bottles of his award-winning barbeque sauce and shoot the game's ceremonial first shot. For more information on how fans can meet Terrell Davis, visit
The team will also celebrate its first-annual Motorsports Day with an auto show, live music and many other activities from 12-6 p.m. A portion of proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the
Colorado Adaptive Sports Foundation (CASF). For details about Mortorsports Day and CASF, visit

ALBANY -- The Albany Institute of History and Art was full of specially crafted cupcakes and people proclaiming: "It's a boy!" But the hubbub on Thursday wasn't for a baby shower or just any party. After extensive research, the sex of two Egyptian mummies were confirmed.
In the case of one of the mummies, it was a bit of a surprise, since museum officials had been told they were acquiring one female mummy and one male when they purchased the two antiquities from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo in 1909, said the Institute's interim director and chief curator Tammis Groft.
"For more than 100 years, visitors to the museum enjoyed learning about the Albany Mummies and now, for the first time, we have more definitive answers," she said.
The fully-wrapped mummy is displayed in a coffin which named him as Ankhefenmut, a temple priest and sculptor. CT scans and X-rays showed a distinctly male pelvis. His upper right side was also more muscular than the other side, which indicated he spent much time carving statues. He was about 5-foot, 1-inch tall and a study of his bones showed that he was likely about 50 years old when he died. His bones, even 3,000 years after his death, still showed signs of arthritis.
Another interesting highlight of Ankhefenmut was a prosthetic toe which was attached to his body posthumously to perfect his body for the afterlife.
Egyptologist Bob Brier said only three such prosthetic toes are known to be in existence from ancient Egypt.
"Mummies are like little encyclopedias. You just have to know how to read them," he said.
The other mummy, also a male, is partially unwrapped, showing his skull and remaining upper body. Officials said the mummy was unwrapped not long after it was purchased from the Egyptian Museum, mainly to see what was under the ancient wrapping dating back to 300 BC around when Cleopatra would have lived.
They were transported from Egypt, where they were discovered near Luxor at Deir el-Bahri, on a steamship to help fill the Institute's new building around the turn of the 20th century.
Brier, from the C.W. Post campus of Long Island University, said for a long time such mummies were unwrapped to perform autopsies to learn more about their lifestyle and culture. But technology has changed which now allows these antiquities to remain in their preserved form.
This was the second time the mummies have been tested using technology. The first was in 1988.
The mummies will be featured in the Institute's exhibition "GE Presents: the Mystery of the Albany Mummies: the Story of Ankhefenmut" slated for Sept. 21, through June 8, 2014, said Groft, also noting that the exhibit will bring together the pieces of a coffin. The bottom of the coffin is at the Institute while the mummy cover is in the British Museum and the lid is in Vienna.
"This announcement is an exciting example of how investments in technology can be leveraged for innovative purposes," said Chris Horne, a spokesperson for GE.
http://www.troyrecord.com/articles/2012/03/31/news/doc4f7795f610359162125808.txt">The mummies' transfer to and examinations at Albany Medical Center Hospital on March 31, 2012 were filmed for a documentary called "The Albany Mummies: Unraveling an Ancient Mystery" by Mary Valenti, a member of the UAlbany English Department, and retired English professor William Rainbolt. The film is supported by The University at Albany Foundation and is expected to make its debut in May, officials said.

Showalter waiting to pass judgment
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Orioles manager Buck Showalter has been adamant about not passing judgment, positively or negatively, this early in Spring Training, although he acknowledged Thursday there will come a point when performance matters.
"[There's] not an exact date," Showalter said, "But you are watching [batting practice], especially the guys you don't know, you are always evaluating something. But as far as results and how it projects in the big leagues, we know where the finish line is."
With the World Baseball Classic lengthening Spring Training, several pitchers have been slow-played in camp, giving Showalter an opportunity to see some of the younger guys, including Rule 5 Draft pick T.J. McFarland. Asked if anyone had impressed him so far in camp, Showalter said yes.
"But none that I'd mention publicly," he said coyly. "It's early."

These are becoming hard to find or at least I am seeing them few & far between. I see many singles that have lost their mate & never see the removable backs. This one is a typical floral form in gold tone with crystal rhinestones. Missing a few stones but overall good condition. It's over 4 inches in size. Signed Coro with pat #.
Thanks for looking.

19/03/2002 - Final figures show that Net Official Development Assistance (ODA) to developing countries by DAC Members in 2000 was USD 53.7 billion. In real terms the flow was little changed from 1999: down 0.4%. There would have been a slight rise if some countries had not been removed from the list of countries eligible to receive ODA. Robust economic growth of 3.7% in OECD's Development Assistance Committee during 2000 boosted GNI and pushed the ODA/GNI ratio down from 0.24% to 0.22%. Luxembourg joined Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden as the only countries meeting the long-standing UN target for ODA of 0.7% of national income. Fourteen of the 22 Member countries of the DAC reported a rise in ODA in real terms in 2000, and the average effort of DAC countries (the unweighted average of their ODA/GNI ratios) remained at 0.39%.
As a contribution to the discussion on the need for increased ODA, the Development Co-operation Report provides an analysis of the future demand and supply of aid, including the call for a doubling of ODA to meet the Millennium Development Goals. It examines the various estimates of the cost of meeting the MDGs and presents some of the basic arithmetic involved in a doubling of aid. It shows that a gradual rise in the ODA/GNI ratio from the present level of 0.22% to 0.32% by 2010 would, assuming real annual GNI growth of 2.5% in DAC Member countries, raise real ODA levels by some USD 46 billion annually to USD 100 billion compared with USD 54 billion in 2000. ODA would double by 2012, at an ODA/GNI ratio of 0.34%.
The Chairman of the OECD's Development Assistance Committee notes that the agendas emerging from Doha, Monterrey and Johannesburg offer the opportunity to construct a consistent and interconnected roadmap for the global partnership. Jean-Claude Faure predicts that, "The image of the future is necessarily one of sustainable world development - sustainable development for all and in all its dimensions, as part of a process of globalisation that is gathering pace and diversity."
The report responds to the current international debate on aid effectiveness and says that to effectively manage a doubling of ODA volume could take as much as ten years. Without a very much higher level of mutual accountability in donor-recipient relations than ever achieved in the past, aid increases will be neither justified nor realised. Effective performance monitoring based on quality data is essential. Proposals for large increases in aid are conditional on good governance, sound economic management and high quality national sector strategies, especially for health and education, in developing countries. But such improvements also depend on donors' commitment to the medium-term aid which will allow recipients to develop effective sector strategies and macroeconomic management. Hence effective demand for and effective supply of significant increases in aid are fundamentally interdependent.
The report outlines DAC's contributions to ensuring more effective aid. These include the agreement on untying of aid to least developed countries and the adoption of four new sets of guidelines - on poverty reduction and policy coherence; on sustainable development strategies; on conflict prevention; and on trade capacity development. The report also includes special chapters on how donors can assist countries in conflict, and on the way in which the knowledge economy and digital opportunities can bring a new development impulse.

Tracy Large of Seguin Named Texas Wildlife Officer of the Year
AUSTIN, Texas — Game Warden Tracy Large of Seguin has been honored by the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) for his efforts in conserving America's wildlife. Large was recognized as the NWTF's Texas Wildlife Law Enforcement Officer of the Year at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission meeting here March 26.
Game Warden Large graduated from the 44th Texas Game Warden Training Academy in 1996. His first duty station was in Cotulla, LaSalle County and he is currently assigned to Guadalupe County.
Large presents numerous education and information programs to schools, clubs, civic organizations, Texas youth, and the general public. He coordinates and participates in activities that introduce youth, novice hunter and novice fishermen to outdoor related experiences, including but not limited to hunting, fishing, and boating for the underprivileged youth in Guadalupe County.
The awards program cited Large for conducting his business on a very high level of moral character and integrity. He is well respected by co-workers, other Texas Parks and Wildlife Department personnel, and members of the community. Warden Large is the CPR/First Aid instructor in his region, which requires him to do annual updates and practical exercises to keep the game warden certifications current. He is a Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (TCLEOSE) certified instructor, so he can teach other wardens mandated continuing education classes.
The awards program noted Large has accomplished special achievements and goes beyond the call of duty by doing more than what is expected. He has achieved the level of Master Peace Officer as well as an employee recognition award certificate for outstanding team for his work with the Texas Game Warden Honor Guard in 2007.
On Nov. 7, 2007, Warden Large conducted an investigation that resulted in the apprehension of two La Vernia High School students for shooting a Rio Grande Turkey with a 30-06 from a public roadway. The individuals had been seen by a rancher, who gave Warden Large their description. Citations were issued to the individuals for hunting turkey out of season.
On Nov. 7, 2008, Warden Large completed an investigation in which a local feed store was selling live Rio Grande turkeys. The investigation resulted in the feed store being filed on for possession of live Rio Grande turkey; one individual receiving a citation for trapping and possession of live Rio Grande turkeys; and another receiving a citation for possession of live Rio Grande turkeys and for releasing the turkeys back into the wild.
The NWTF initiated the State Wildlife Law Enforcement Officer of the Year award in 2000 to highlight the contributions from wildlife officers across the country. In addition to playing a crucial role in helping to convict wildlife criminals, many wildlife officers volunteer their own time to help educate youth about the importance of wildlife, conservation and our hunting traditions.
The NWTF is a national nonprofit conservation organization founded in 1973. It has worked with wildlife agencies restore American wild turkey populations from 1.3 million wild turkeys to nearly 7 million today. NWTF volunteers raise funds and work daily to improve critical wildlife habitat, increase access to public hunting land and introduce people to the outdoors and hunting.

Checking the Market's Chemical Activity
Last summer, I made note of a new economic indicator that could be useful in assembling the mosaic of the market. The American Chemistry Council's Chemical Activity Barometer is an industry-specific measure that can offer in-depth insight on trends in industrial production, similar to others that we track, such as the Baltic Dry Index.
The ACC describes the Chemical Activity Barometer as "a composite index which comprises indicators drawn from a range of chemicals and sectors, including chlorine alkalis, pigments, plastic resins and other selected basic industrial chemicals. It first originated through a study of the relationship between the business cycles in the production of selected chemicals and cycles in the larger economy during the period from 1947 to 2011."...207 more words left in this article.

according to @Barb_IndySports Vogel told her 3 things, 1. Lou is gone 2. Tyler is staying and 3. Barbosa is staying. Maybe Barbosa will be here after all
No Fesenko?
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
I hope not.
nope he is gone
I think Stephenson can miss the hoop with as much effectiveness as Barbosa did.
I'd be happy to see Barbosa back. Yes, he played poorly in the playoffs, but in the regular season, he was good for us. Plus with Green, Lance, and OJ as our backup wings, we could use some experience.
I loved Barbosa during the regular season. He has such a great attitude and he's a good teammate. He really struggled shooting the ball during the Miami series but DWade is a really bad matchup for him. He still hit some timely shots... that shot right before halftime of Game 4 to put the Pacers up by 8 for example.
He's always been one of my favorite players. I won't hold a rare shooting slump against him.
EDIT: I keep seeing people mention OJ but he's not under contract yet and I don't think he's a lock to make the team.
Kevin Pritchard @nbakev
@lingolou78 @pacers @pace_o11 He is signed, sealed and delivered!
He is a lock to make the team if they resign him.......
Thanks, ejwallace. When did KP tweet that? I'm at work and can't check Twitter right now.
9 hours ago....Apparently signed this AM as OJ retweeted it just after....
not a back re-signing...as long as the price is right. I hope we didnt over pay him.
I think we have a pretty decent second unit.
We definitely have some scoring options.
"So, which one of you guys is going to come in second?" - Larry Bird before the 3 point contest. He won.
I did. Thank you for making that clear.....
What happened to "giving Lance Stephenson a chance to prove himself this season"?
Is that done now?
I'd rather Lance play more but he probably will rotate with Barbosa on the backup 2 depending on the matchup.

Ugh, why why bother bringing him back? What does he bring that other players can't?
I think that we have 2 spots left.
Our starting 5 + DJ + Ian + Tyler + Gerald + Lance + Miles + Orlando + Pendy = 13
With Barbosa and Fes we would be exactly 15.
HA! Oh Barb.....
It's definitely a possibility. I'm just saying that we have the spots if we want them
I think Barbosa took a lot of heat last season from Pacer fans. I've seen him play a lot in Toronto and he's actually not that bad.
I think the Pacers think he's a better defender than he really is. Last year, I would admit, Barbosa played like cr@p. He's a really good scorer and someone who can stretch the defence
"So, which one of you guys is going to come in second?" - Larry Bird before the 3 point contest. He won.
A lot of fans have very short memories. Barbosa was a great addition and helped propel us into he playoffs. I think adding him to an already deep wing rotation allows you to play him when he's hot and sit him when he's not.
For a reasonable price I welcome him back.
I don't think Vogel expects him back though, wiht his insistence that Lance is starting the year off as our backup shooting guard, barbosa wuold almost certainly be ahead of himin the rotation if he returns.
Lance MAY has an upside greater than Barbosa and we need to find out if he does. If so he needs PT. If we find he doesn't it's time to stop the talk about his potential and send him on his way. I want to see if Lance is a difference maker. What's the point in having Barbosa keep Lance on the bench?

Last night, I saw Spies of Mississippi, an amazing documentary on the civil rights struggle in the 1960s.
Spies of Mississippi covers ground that's been mined before, but Porter has done something new here, uncovering the amazing story of "the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission's [MSSC] efforts to preserve segregation during the 1950s and '60s — when its network of informants spied on over 87,000 Americans — as it covered up violence and murder in order to preserve the status quo." Clocking in at just an hour, Porter's documentary is much more than a succession of talking heads; it's a gripping, compact, and absolutely riveting mix of raw footage from the period, much of it never before seen, recently declassified documents from the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission showing just how rampant racism was in the state, and interviews with the people who lived through the period, and know better than anyone else the reality of the situation. In an interview you can read by clicking here, or on the image above, Porter opens up about the making of Spies of Mississippi. As she told Craig Phillips,
"before I heard this story I thought I knew a lot about the era. That's what is so wonderful about history — if we look, there are more things to find. Many people know about the FBI's efforts to undermine the civil rights leaders, but very few people knew of the network established by Mississippi state government. And that's what really attracted me to this story; this is not a story of a few rogue racist individuals, it's state government, using taxpayer dollars to deny rights to a group of people based on race. I think it's a remarkable story about abuse of power and how secrecy is not always a friend to democracy.
I was surprised by so many things, but clearly one of the most shocking was the information about the black informants. The idea that African Americans would spy for white supremacists probably should not shock me, but it did. Second, I feel like this fills in a piece of the puzzle regarding the tragic deaths of the young civil rights workers [James Earl Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael 'Mickey' Schwerner]. They didn't have an accidental run in with the racist police or the Klan, they were tracked using information from spies.
I was shocked to learn that the State of Mississippi, not just the FBI, used spies to try and intimidate and stop integration. When I learned that some of them were black I wanted to know what would motivate people. Digging into the story, it makes sense that there were complicated feelings in the African American community about the marchers and civil rights activity. There was a lot of fear."
This is the kind of work we need much more of on television, and the sort of hard-edged and innovative reporting that only PBS seems to offer. In addition, it's also superbly confident filmmaking, thrilling in its mastery of the medium, and the work of a master filmmaker.
Just minutes after I saw this documentary, I ordered the DVD. This is brilliant, important work.

Marty Note
Creative idea from Visual.ly. Visual.ly is creating an infogrpahic marketplace where you can easily commission work. The process is explained in their demo video here: http://youtu.be/7v8lNRZgoHU .
I love this idea as a creative example of how to own a market by creating a market. By being the aggregator Visual.ly wins. Spoils in this new digital economy go to the platforms and Visual.ly's creative application of that idea creates a new market where creating an infographic is easier.
The other benefit of creating a market will be pricing competition. I was quoted a pretty HUGE sum to create an infographic about a year ago. Pricing should be moderated by competition.
Some are saying the era of the infogrpahic is over killed by over saturation. I disagree. Visual presentation of data is more engaging and easier to share than white papers and reports. One clear trend in 2012 discussed well by Liz Wilson is the visuals are crushing the textuals. Liz's article discusses the 2 big trends of 2012: the rise of curation and visuals.
Here is where you can find the Visual.ly Market Place: https://marketplace.visual.ly

I endeavor to educate my patients about the procedures they may desire so they can make a comfortable and informed decision about proceeding with surgery. I feel cosmetic surgery results should appear very natural and harmonious.
Monday through Friday 8:00am - 5:00pm Tuesday 8:00am - 5:00pm
Dr. Flint performs all types of cosmetic surgery procedures like:
Breast Lift
Breast Reduction
Lower Body Lift
Dr. Flint personally meets with each and every patient in consultation.

Shorts Have a Rough Day
It was a "don't short a dull market" day. The old saying worked well today, as we very slowly drifted upward after a poor start and then accelerated into the close. At one point, the Nasdaq was around 2 to 1 negative, and it ended the day with about 1,300 gainers to 1,100 losers. What was particularly impressive is that the Russell 2000 (IWM) small-cap index continues to lead. Money is flowing into the small names while the Nasdaq-100 lags, primarily because of Apple (AAPL).
The action today is a good example of what I've been writing lately about not trying to anticipate weakness. Trying to short on a day like this is an exercise in pain. We have seen this happen so often in the last few years. It just hasn't paid to fight the trend, regardless of how compelling the short thesis may be....77 more words left in this article.

SANTA CRUZ -- For Vickie Mauga, manager of Beach Liquors, keeping an eye on the scruffy looking men across the street is part of her daily routine.
When she opens her small shop near the corner of Beach Street and Pacific Avenue each morning, she squints out the window to size up the transients who hang out near the steps to Cowell Beach.
"That's the first thing I do is scout out over there," Mauga said. "I keep an eye outside because I want people to feel comfortable."
Down the railroad tracks from her shop, a 51-year-old homeless man was beaten to death by five other transients Nov. 16.
On Sept. 21, a 19-year-old Gilroy man was stabbed near Beach and Pacific after a group of teens and young men asked him his gang affiliation. Suspects were arrested in both cases.
In light of those crimes and syringes found on the beach and in public restrooms near the Cowell Beach parking lot, some merchants and residents are calling for more thorough police patrols there and at the edges of Depot Park.
"It's gotten so bad," said Mike Kurre, a 57-year-old who works at Cowell's Beach Surf Shop at Beach and Pacific. "I've even had a few people say, 'I'm going to Capitola where they don't have these problems.'"
Employees at a few shops said they often watch police drive by or ride by on motorcycles. Yet officers often don't stop to check the men for drugs or have them move along.
"Sometimes I even stand here and watch drug deals," Mauga said, pointing to the parking lot outside her shop.
Santa Cruz Deputy Police Chief Steve Clark said officers often drive by on their way to other calls for service. Officers on evening and late-night shifts have been told to get out of their cars and walk the beach on patrol, he said.
Parks staff usually walk along the train tracks near Depot Park daily, or an officer rides on it with an ATV. An officer also has been assigned to manage recent drug problems around Cowell Beach, Clark said.
Clark believed more transients were near the beach in recent weeks because they recently have been kicked out of Grant Street Park, Pogonip and the Highway 1 and 17 interchange. Groups tend to migrate, and police often recognize the same faces, he said.
"It's disgusting to see that these people are hijacking our natural resources and making them drug hideouts," said Clark.
He hoped more people would report drug deals and describe suspects and their cars to police. Even if an officer can't respond immediately, police can record crime and might recognize suspects or cars later, Clark said.
"I know that we're doing additional foot patrols," he said.
Yet with a record pace of 95,000 calls for service so far this year, "There's not always time to walk all the locations."
Police also noted that busting people for minor drug offenses typically lands them in jail and court for a brief period. A few days later, they are back on the streets.
Because of recent reports and a YouTube video of trash and heroin users on the Cowell's rocks, Clark said police have discussed closing Cowell Beach at night.
That change would give police more opportunity to kick out transients.
Police also have talked to Dream Inn leaders about marking the hotel's property lines and potentially restricting access.
Police encouraged residents and business leaders to attend a Public Safety Committee meeting Dec. 17.
The meeting will take on beach crime and potential solutions at 5:30 p.m. at the Santa Cruz City Council Chamber, 809 Center St.
At Beach Liquors this week, employees said the crowd of transients changed through the years from older "hobos" to more aggressive young drug users.
During the summer, Mauga told a man she wouldn't sell beer to him and took it from him at the counter. He struck her hand and tried to grab the beer.
She called police, who apprehended him down Beach Street.
"That shouldn't happen," Mauga said of the confrontation. "I don't think you should ever come to work and feel scared."
Tourists also have noticed problems.
Thursday morning, a group of transients gathered under the West Cliff Trestle. One woman wore disheveled overalls and acted erratically while asking passersby for money.
Ingrid McGee, a 76-year-old who was visiting family in Santa Cruz, said she had noticed many of the homeless while walking around town. She looked at West Cliff trestle with trepidation.
"I'm kind of leery of walking down there," she said.

WHAT: Santa Cruz City Council committee will discuss growing problem with drugs, homeless camps and other crimes on the Westside and in the beach area.
WHEN: 5:30 p.m. Dec. 17

Kenyon was a township in the northwest sector of Glengarry County, Ontario. Since 1998 it has been part of the municipality of North Glengarry.
The map of Glengarry County circa 1951 from Ontario Archives locates the communities and physical features of the county. (Click at the bottom of the page to see the map enlarged.)
A sketchmap from Ontario GenWeb gives a more visible outline of the townships.
The area was originally settled in 1792 as part of the historic Glengarry County in which many Scottish emigrants settled from all over the Scottish Highlands due to the Highland Clearances. This first wave of heavy migration lasted till 1816, emigration still continued afterwards into the early 20th century but in a slower pace. Many of these migrants came from the Inverness-shire area of Scotland specifically. Canadian Gaelic / Scottish Gaelic has been a spoken language in the area for over four centuries. Kenyon, which was part of Charlottenburgh Township until 1798, was named for British judge and politician Lloyd Kenyon, 1st Baron Kenyon, and Lochiel, which was part of Lancaster Township until 1818, was named for the Lochiels of Clan Cameron.
Development in the region was significantly spurred by the development of a railway link between Ottawa and Montreal in the early 1880s. Maxville, Alexandria and Glen Robertson, in particular, became key railway hubs for farmers in the area.
Maxville was first incorporated as a village separate from Kenyon Township in 1892, and Alexandria was separated from Lochiel Township in the early 1900s.
Research Tips
The primary source for basic documents (vital statistics, land records, wills) for people who lived in the Province of Ontario is the Archives of Ontario, 134 Ian Macdonald Blvd, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M7A 2C5.
Early Records
Civil registration did not begin in the province until 1869. Before then there may be church records of baptisms and burials. For the most part these are still held by the denomination who recorded them. Copies of marriage records made pre-1869 had to be sent by individual clergymen to the registrar of the county in which the marriage took place. These marriage records are available through Ontario Archives, on micorfilm through LDS libraries, and on paid and unpaid websites, but because they were copied at the registrars' offices, they cannot be considered a primary source.
Vital Records after 1869
Birth, marriage and death registrations are not open to the public until a specific number of years after the event occurred. Births to 1915 are now available [October 2014]; dates for marriages and deaths are later. Birth and death registration was not universally carried out in the early years after its adoption. Deaths were more apt to be reported than births for several years. The more rural the area, the less likely it would be that these happenings were reported to the authorities.
Land Records and Wills
Information on how to access land records and wills is best sought on the Archives of Ontario website. An ancestor's land holding might be found on Canadian County Atlas Digital Project if he was in occupancy circa 1878.
Association for the Preservation of Ontario Land Registry Office Documents (APOLROD). A list of Land Registry Offices for all Counties of Ontario.
The original censuses are in the hands of Library and Archives Canada, known to Canadians as "LAC". Copies of original microfilms are online at the LAC website for all censuses up to 1911. Each census database is preceded with an explanation of the geographical area covered, the amount of material retained (some census division material has been lost), the questions on the census form, and whether there is a name index. Census divisions were redrawn as the population increased and more land was inhabited. The 1921 census is only available through Ancestry.ca, but it is free-to-view.

Top TSA Airport Security News and Analysis
The Flight /// South African Airways 747SP at Rand Airport, September 2006
After 34 years in the skies, South African Airways decided that the Boeing 747SP named Maluti would be a great addition to their aviation museum at Rand Airport outside of Johannesburg. The problem: Rand's two runways are only 50 feet across, barely wide enough for the jumbo jet's massive landing gear. This was not the first time they had done this, as another 747 was already on display at the museum. The margin for error, however, was still slim. If one wheel were to drift into the dust, it might cause loss of control. After two flybys, however, the pilots gently placed the giant jet smack in the middle of the narrow strip and guided it safely to its new museum home.
Matt Molnar is an avid planespotter who runs the aviation enthusiast site NYCAviation.com.
The Flight /// JetBlue Flight 292 at LAX, September 2005
It's one thing when the landing gear refuses to retract after takeoff: Normally it ends with a simple return to the airport because the added drag would burn too much fuel too complete a safe journey to your destination. It's quite another when the nose wheel fails to retract because it has turned perpendicular to its natural position and refuses to budge. That's what happened aboard JetBlue's afternoon flight from Burbank, Calif., to New York on September 21, 2005. Unable to find a solution in the air, the crew elected to circle for a couple of hours to burn off some fuel to reduce the risk of fire and make the plane lighter, while opting to land on one of Los Angeles International Airport's longer, wider runways for added safety. Fears that the nose wheel could suddenly twist back to its normal position during touchdown and cause the plane to veer off track were not realized. And thanks to the personal televisions JetBlue offers at every seat, it marked the first time in history that airline passengers got to watch a live broadcast of their own emergency landing.

Capsicum jam
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 medium brown onion, thinly sliced
3 tbsp caster sugar
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup good-quality sherry vinegar
2 large deseeded red capsicum, thinly sliced
1 cup milk
1 fresh bay leaf, gently bruised to release aroma
1/2 thyme sprig
1 small clove garlic, crushed with back of knife
1 whole clove
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup plain flour
1 heaped tbsp unsalted butter
1 medium brown onion, finely chopped
1 large cup fresh corn kernels
1/3 cup manchego cheese, finely grated
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
plain flour, for crumbing
1 egg beaten with 2 tbsp milk, for crumbing
panko crumbs
vegetable oil, for deep-frying
Makes about 18 fritters
For the jam, heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and stir occasionally until soft and just starting to colour - about 5 minutes. Add sugar and salt and cook until it starts to caramelise. Deglaze with vinegar, and then add the capsicum, stirring frequently on low heat for about 1-11/2 hours until the mixture is jammy in consistency. Check seasoning. The jam is best served at room temperature but can be made ahead of time and refrigerated.
To make the béchamel, combine milk, herbs, garlic and clove in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Stand for 1 hour and let flavours infuse. Strain into a clean saucepan and warm over low heat.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add flour and stir constantly for a few minutes, until sandy in colour. Gradually add infused warm milk, a ladleful at a time, whisking after each addition, to incorporate. Then cook, beating vigorously with a wooden spoon until thick and smooth. This will take 3-5 minutes. Set aside and keep warm covered in cling film or baking paper to avoid a skin forming on top.
To make the fritters, melt butter in a frying pan over low heat and cook onion until soft and translucent. Add the corn and cook for a further 5 minutes or until soft. Process two-thirds of corn mixture in a food processor until smooth. Transfer to a bowl, and fold through the remaining corn mixture, manchego and béchamel. Season to taste. Spread on a tray and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm.
Place flour, egg mixture and crumbs in separate bowls. Once fritter mix is firm, roll into egg-sized pieces and flatten slightly. Dip into the flour, then egg mix and then crumbs, shaking off excess. Repeat with remaining mix.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or deep saucepan to 180°C. As soon as fritter mix is placed into the oil, it should start to bubble. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towel. Serve with capsicum jam and bocadillos (see Hot Tips).
1 celery heart, finely chopped
2 spring onions, julienned
1 small carrot, julienned
1 small cucumber, deseeded and julienned
1/4 daikon radish, julienned
1/4 Chinese cabbage, finely shredded
sea salt
400g baby octopus, cleaned
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tsp roasted sesame seeds
1 tbsp ginger, finely chopped
1 tbsp garlic, finely chopped
2 tbsp hot bean paste
freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp chilli powder
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp caster sugar
2 tsp sea salt
Serves 4
Mix all the dressing ingredients in a bowl with 1 tbsp water and allow the flavour to develop.
Place the celery, spring onions, carrot, cucumber, radish and cabbage in a bowl and sprinkle generously with sea salt. Toss together and leave for 10 minutes, then rinse under cold water and squeeze dry.
Toss the octopus with the oil and season with a little sea salt, then barbecue over high heat until just cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly and halve if large.
To serve, mix together the vegetables, warm octopus and dressing and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Turn a relaxed Sunday lunch into a tapas party by adding a delicious fresh bocadillo (baguette) filled with mortadella, salami or prosciutto, bitter radicchio leaves or shaved cos, and a sharp citrus dressing or a dollop of aioli. Don't forget the sangria!
• Instead of forming the fritter mix into disc-shaped patties, tear off small cherry-tomato-sized pieces and deep fry them to create rustic-looking mini fritters - perfect for serving at parties.
• The capsicum jam is terrific served with just about anything - barbecue lamb cutlets, roast chicken or on a steak sandwich.
• To add a further layer to the octopus salad, add a little chipotle chilli.

Michael Jordan had favorite interviewer when he played, and it wasn't former Wizards coach Doug Collins (left), now working as analyst with TNT.
Email Archives
Print Reprint
October 26, 2004 -- NOBODY'S asking Doug Collins, or other NBA (sports) analysts, to make a living looking into closed closets or accentuating negative aspects of a player's game or a coach's game plan.
We understand that's too much to ask or hope for, though, I suspect, viewers wouldn't mind getting a whiff of the league's underbelly now and then (without having to buy Phil Jackson's latest book) just to break up the monotony of the malarkey they're being spoon-fed.
Trust me, as someone with 15 years on national television I recognize the repercussions of delving too deep into taboo territory, breaking weighty stories, posing touchy, no-feely questions, or paying no attention to the stipulations of an interviewee's publicity posse or agent.
I know what can happen when too much reality is revealed and fools, frauds and those full of themselves are exposed. I know the consequences of forthright coverage and being straight up with audiences.
I know the ramifications of taking on those with clout. The biggest babies complain long and loud. Assignments change in direct proportion. When a network is faced with the prospects of getting blown off for an interview the big boss almost always is the first to fold. If Michael Jordan, or Kobe Bryant, or Phil Jackson, or Pat Riley doesn't want so-and-so in his face asking pertinent or impenitent questions, changes are automatically made to oblige.
That's how Ahmad Rashad wound up opposite, er, genuflecting in front of His Airness all those years. During the '93 Bulls-Suns Finals, NBC's executive producer, Terry O'Neill, had told me I would do the pre-game interview with Jordan whose gambling habit was being intensely scrutinized at the time that would air during halftime. However, as Jordan was walking toward the chat room he demanded his "main man" instead; O'Neill quickly complied as if on cue.
That's also how Charles Barkley wound up in TNT's studio without me opposite him. From the outset of our pithy and testy studio relationship, producer Tim Kiely was in our ears provoking us to dump on one another (as if either of us needed any encouragement; we really do despise each other) regardless of whether we were working together that evening.
Near the end of the season I get an alarmed call at home from Kiely saying he's sorry but he can't save me, that the boss, Mark Lazarus, is steaming at how I've been killing Barkley on the air and in the paper. He warns me I'll be fired if the attacks didn't stop immediately.
Within a week or two, no exaggeration, Lazarus (since shifted to president of Turner Entertainment) is quoted in USA Today boasting about TNT's lack of censorship on the show. "We don't tell anybody what to say," he lied, like a man running for office.
Not to vaguely imply Collins (or anyone else behind a TNT mike) is forced to operate under such restraints or ultimatums. No need for that. Saying something bad about anybody, except a league-licensed target, is too much to expect from someone so insecure and fragile. If someone truly quit dealing with Collins because of something he said he'd have a nervous breakdown.
Better to skirt real issues or merely sideswipe them. Better to scold the guilty in spineless generalities and pump up the undeserving to extremes. Better to repeat the obvious. Better to jump on a popular or unpopular bandwagon than to take a tough or original stand. Better not to offend anybody. Better not to wind up, let go like Marv Albert was with the Knicks.
And we haven't even touched on Collins being one of TV's many card-carrying members of a coaching fraternity he does everything to protect . . . and re-pledges for every presidential term.
TNT's slogan is, "Nothing is more dramatic than the truth." Last time I subscribed to Pravda I could swear that was also in its masthead.

My song Heart of Steel (Fire Funmania) will appear on a new compilation titled Inside the Volcano. Complete Control Records from Stockholm, Sweden are doing the fantastic release with 24 electronic body music tracks on it. One of the guys behind CCP, Anders Karlsson will also be performing with myself and Absolute Body Control at the Kalabalik Festival in Växo, Sweden this August 15/16th. I love the artwork on this one! 2CD available this March.
"A compilation where young, hot, electro punk acts like Schwefelgelb, Agent Side Grinder and Petra Flurr + Modernista demonstrate how to take a cue from old school influences and still sound totally fresh and thrilling. Industrial legends Portion Control, Ike Yard and Gerechtigkeits Liga refused to follow the herd when they started out at the dawn of the 1980s. They still do, and they remain as relevant and exciting as ever. Techno heroes Thomas P Heckmann, The Horrorist and Adriano Canzian have all contributed crushing dance tracks where old school EBM and furious techno fuse seamlessly. Also represented on Inside The Volcano is the new breed of leftfield dance music with mind blowing tracks from Equitant, Friherren, Diamond Skull District and K-Nitrate." – ccproductions.org

ORLANDO, Fla. - Former Orlando police chief Val Demings entered the race for Orange County Mayor on Tuesday, pitting her against incumbent Teresa Jacobs in the November election.
Demings filed paperwork with the Orange County Supervisor of Elections office shortly after 11 a.m. on Tuesday, becoming the fourth candidate in the race.
"For months, I've been asked by countless citizens to run for Orange County Mayor," Demings said in a press release. "They want a leader who will stand up for them."
Demings served as Orlando's police chief -- the first woman to hold the position -- from 2007 to 2011.
She also ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2011 but lost against Daniel Webster.
Soon after her announcement on Tuesday, Demings was critical of Jacobs' job performance.
"Like many (citizens), I too, have grown disappointed with the forgotten promises of the current administration," Demings said.
Jacobs, admitting she was surprised Demings was running, shot back at allegations that she didn't deliver on campaign promises to run an ethical and transparent government.
"I totally disagree with that," she said. "We've kept a record of everything I've committed to do. Nobody's perfect, but I am extremely proud."
Jacobs questioned Demings qualifications for the job, as well.
"I've spent 12 years in local government and four years before that as a private citizen involved in local issues," Jacobs said. "I would not run for sheriff because I know I'm not qualified to run for sheriff."
Demings plans an official launch rally at Lake Eola on Thursday afternoon at 3 p.m.
Other candidates running for Orange County Mayor include Dunel A. Cadely and Nathaniel Wren Glover, both of Orlando.

MIAMI - Opposition to public funding for the renovation of Sun Life Stadium is growing.
Norman Braman, who also opposed publicly funding Marlins Park, met Monday with Cutler Bay Mayor Ed MacDougall.
"My job is to make sure the people I represent don't have their pockets picked by a billionaire," said MacDougall.
"To a certain degree, it's worse than the Marlins transaction simply because you have an individual like (Dolphins owner) Steve Ross who is worth $4.4 billion," added Braman.
The two have traveled to Tallahassee, where lawmakers are discussing Senate Bill 306, which provides an annual $3 million state sales tax rebate to the Miami Dolphins for 30 years to fund upgrades at Sun Life Stadium.
"I think there was a time in this county that the wool could be pulled over the eyes of the public because you had these lobbyists and you had big money coming in," said MacDougall. "Well, today, I think the rules have changed."
MacDougall showed Local 10 a list of mayors of other South Florida cities against publicly funding renovations at the stadium. It included mayors in Aventura, Bal Harbour, Biscayne Park, Coral Gables, Doral, Golden Beach, Miami Beach, North Miami Beach, Palmetto Bay, South Miami, Sunny Isles Beach, Surfside, and Virginia Gardens.
Ross wants to use state and local dollars to help pay for $400 million worth of renovations to Sun Life Stadium, originally named Joe Robbie Stadium when it opened in 1987.
Dolphins management as well as other South Florida backers contend that the renovations will help the area in an effort to lure the Super Bowl for its 50th anniversary. But the renovations will also benefit the University of Miami Hurricanes and could help the state lure international soccer games.
Senate Bill 306 is contingent upon a favorable vote by Miami-Dade voters to also raise the local bed tax levy by one cent. The legislation has already passed through four of seven Florida legislative committees.
In an effort to sway some critics, the stadium bill has been changed to require a local referendum before local hotel bed taxes from Miami-Dade County can be used to help pay for the renovations.
"I will promise you, we have not received one single call supporting, so people are really upset about us, or whoever it is, considering public money," said Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado.
According to a poll by Dario Moreno, a Florida International University political science professor, 73 percent of Miami-Dade voters oppose the public financing. The poll asked 1,000 "super voters" whether they'd support publicly funding the stadium.
Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez and the team must still reach an agreement before the referendum regarding to local hotel bed taxes could go before voters.
