A sixth person has been charged for the December vandalism of a Christmas lights display on Barnhart Drive. According to Chillicothe Municipal Court Records, 18-year-old Collin Hill, of Chillicothe, has been charged with first-degree misdemeanor theft and third-degree misdemeanor criminal mischief.
Earlier this week, the Ross County Sheriff released the names of five others alleged to have been involved: 16-year-olds Ryan Spencer, Harrison Taylor, and Stefan Lynch, as well as 15-year-olds Anthony Brown and Payton North. They were charged with delinquency counts of theft and criminal damaging.
The homeowner, Mike Hall, reported his elaborate Christmas display, which featured over 30,000 lights, had been ruined on December 8th.

This installment of Trips on a Tank takes us to the "Legend of the Northwoods". We traveled 90 miles west to Chippewa Falls to see what's brewing at Leinenkugel's.
It's the sound so many look forward to every summer, cracking open a refreshing Summer Shandy. Chances are good you have a few bottles in your own refrigerator, or you know someone who does. But did you ever stop and think about what it takes to get there? For the answer, you have to travel back in time about 145 years.
It started with Jacob Leinenkugel. His family, his parents and four brothers came over here from Germany. His father was a brewmaster there and continued that when they came to Wisconsin. When those brothers grew up, they scattered all over the state, starting their own breweries. Jacob landed in Chippewa Falls, starting a rather small operation out of his house, pumping out just 200 barrels of beer a year. Then he built the brewery you see today, where he upped that to 400 a year.
These days they're at about a quarter million barrels a year. It's about 1000 cases an hour as far as the bottling line is concerned; about 460 bottles a minute.
Thousands make the trip to Chippewa Falls every year to get a behind-the-scenes look at the Leine's legend for themselves. You'll see the whole complicated process, from the very first ingredients getting mixed in to cooking them all together to the brew kettle room. The brew kettle phase is where they'll mix in the hops, break down the hops pellets, mix everything together.
Even after all that though, it's still not beer as you know it yet, and it won't be that way for another few weeks; darker beers usually take longer.
Leine's is as proud of their fermenting process as they are of the family behind it, and the bloodline runs deep here in Chippewa Falls. The 5th generation operates the brewery while the 6th generation is poised to take over.
When the tour is over, your last stop is the Leine Lodge, then it's time for some free samples.
Perhaps one of the best parts about the tour is that it's free! It can get pretty busy up there in the summer though, so they suggest you call ahead and make reservations at (715) 723-5557.

Rate reflects Passport America. The campground is very quiet and peaceful this time of the year. We were the only one there during the weekdays. The restroom next to our site has bugs which why I rated it so. The campground is family friendly. There is a pool although it is more like a water park and not included in the price of camping. But it is not expensive to get and it is well worth it. The water park has slides, hot tub, sauna etc. The water is naturally heated so it is really nice. The downside to this place is it does not have sewer, but there is a dump station in Downey. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I was disappointed in the camping...It was made long ago for short RVs and the camp sites are right on top of each other. Had to go to Downey and look for an RV dump as they didn't have one close to the campground. There are limited campsites that have fire rings...that is good because the sites that do are way too close to everyone else, smoke was bad. If you have a tent you want to set up with your RV you are limited to a few camp spots and even then you get charged for the tent! If you are going to swim the pool is nice, small but nice. The slides are great; the hot-tub was not. This would be an ideal place for a one day reunion they do have very nice shelters and places to play games. There staff was very courteous and helpful. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park is okay. The biggest problem they have is mice! We were here in late July and once my trailer was set up, it was only a matter of minutes before mice were coming out of their holes in the ground all around our campsite! I am sure the other sites were the same. The pool was nice and so were the water slides. We would not stay here again and we would not recommend this park to anyone. There was 2 sets of washrooms. One was not acceptable in anyway and the other was a newer portable unit and it was clean and okay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We had a blast here. The pool and slides are great! Price for them is excellent. Twilight swim the best. Friendly staff. No problem using Passport America. WiFi was excellent. Quiet during the week but full of family reunions on weekends. Sites are small in length and close together so minus 1 for that. Fairly level. They do have one very long pull-through site for a big rig, and one might fit a big rig over in spaces 49-50 without water. No sewer hookups but there's a dump nearby in town. Looking forward to going back again and again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Perfect for our overnight stop. Most facilities were closed this time of year. We had a nice view from our site and had only one other rig in the park. We would stay here again. Nightly fee is Passport America rate. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here for a family reunion and it was really nice. This is setup for kids and family with a pool and and other sport activities. This is not a place to go and relax for a couple of days. A couple of down sides. The flies are terrible. They are everywhere, and you just can't get rid of them. The second thing was the lights on the volleyball court turn off at 10:30 at night. It really sad that the adults have to be in bed at 11:00. Overall it was a great stay, but remember it is a family park with a lot of kids. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Kyrgyzstan: MSF Provides Emergency Medical Supplies For Victims of Violence in BishkekApril 8, 2010
Hundreds of wounded arrived in Bishkek hospitals following violent confrontations between armed forces and protesters in the streets of Kyrgyzstan's capital on April 7. The Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) team in Kyrgyzstan immediately responded by providing the National Hospital and the main ambulance station with emergency medical supplies and drugs, including bandages and other sterile material, intravenous injection sets, antibiotics and painkillers. More material and drugs are to be donated today by MSF to three health structures in the capital city. Tags: Kyrgyzstan |

Saturday at the Movies: ParaNorman
ParaNorman is the latest gem from Lalka Entertainment, best known for Corpse Bride and Coraline. Using many of the same stunning stop-motion filming techniques, Chris Butler makes his directorial debut with this endearing film about a misunderstood kid and his supernatural abilities.
I recently saw ParaNorman in 3-D and can pretty much guarantee you'll love this flick, regardless of age; if not for the characters then for the AMAZING eyeball feast of animation.
Check out the trailer below and a wicked "making of" featurette after the jump!

Directions to Resthaven Wildlife Area (via mapquest)
LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The Resthaven Wildlife Area is at the northern edge of Castalia on the west side of State Route 269. Totaling 2,272 acres, the area includes 444 acres of water. Most of the land is in woodland and shrubby cover. Approximately 90 acres is in crop rotation. Sixteen percent of the land is grassland. More than half the area had been strip mined for marl (a deposit of calcium carbonate or dolomite) prior to purchase by the Division of Wildlife. This mining left a very rough surface which has reverted to woody vegetation and cattails. HISTORY AND PURPOSE Resthaven Wildlife Area lies centered in what was originally a wet marl prairie, known by the early settlers as the "Castalia Prairie." Early accounts record an extensive wet prairie reaching from the present city of Sandusky to Port Clinton. These accounts relate that the grass grew up to seven feet tall and was so thick as to make progress almost impossible. Land purchase by the state of Ohio began in 1942. The overall objective is to provide public hunting and fishing by managing for species best suited to the land capabilities of the area. The area will be maintained in diversified cover types consisting of cropland interspersed among areas of permanent grass and low shrubs. Present woodlots will be maintained. HUNTING AND FISHING The area is popular for rabbit and pheasant hunting. Rails, snipe, woodcock, and a few gallinules also offer hunting opportunities. Waterfowl hunting is usually best early in the season and during periods of rough, windy weather that forces waterfowl inland from Lake Erie and Sandusky Bay. During this rough weather a good spread of decoys is helpful. Ponds on the area offer fishing for largemouth bass, bluegill and red ear sunfish, crappie, and channel catfish. The most popular fishing ponds are 6, 7, 8, 10, and 11. Pond 8 has a boat ramp and a handicapped accessible fishing pier off SR 269 on road D6. Car top or small trailered boats may be used on the other ponds where anglers can get them to the water. Gasoline motors up to 9.9 horsepower may be used on any of the area ponds; please use good judgment and go slow. All of the area ponds are open to fishing year around, including ice fishing. WILDLIFE WATCHING The diversity of habitat types and proximity to Sandusky Bay make Resthaven Wildlife Area an ideal location for viewing and enjoying wildlife. Habitat types include woodland, brushland, wetlands, cropfields, open water, and remnants of the "Castalia Prairie." Wildlife species occupying these habitats range from resident to transient. Bird species ranging from the large wading birds to warblers and mammals common to this region of the state can be found at Resthaven. Moth and butterfly populations on this wildlife area also attract special attention. Service roads and dike systems provide ample foot trails for use in wildlife viewing. UNUSUAL FEATURES Unusual prairie plants such as big bluestem, little bluestem, Indiangrass, and prairie dock can be found here. Resthaven is the site of Ohio's largest prairie remnant. This area harbors a number of rare plants and animals. PUBLIC USE FACILITIES Access roads and parking areas are situated throughout the area. The interior access roads are closed from the opening of the upland game season until after the spring thaw, as a safety measure and to prevent undue damage to the roads in early spring. A fishing pier accessible to people with disabilities is located near the northwest parking lot on Pond 8. Also, a handicapped accessible boat ramp and a courtesy dock are located at the northeast parking lot on Pond 8. A handicapped access lane is located on the south side of Oxbo Road to provide wildlife recreation opportunities for the mobility impaired. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Additional information may be obtained from the Pickerel Creek Wildlife Area work unit, phone (419) 547-6007; or Wildlife District Two Office, 952 Lima Avenue, Findlay, Ohio 45840, phone (419) 424-5000. TURN IN A POACHER Ohio's TIP, "Turn In a Poacher," program is helping to curtail poaching throughout the state. TIP is designed to involve the public in reporting wildlife violations. Citizens who observe wildlife violations should call the TIP toll-free hotline, 1-800-POACHER.

Civil rights leaders appealed for calm out of respect for Martin and his family.
"His name and memory should not be smeared by reckless violence," Sharpton said.
Civil rights leader, John Mack, now a member of the Los Angeles police commission, said those behind the violence "have their own agendas that have nothing to do with justice, and very little to do with Trayvon Martin."
Taking Zimmerman's side
Of course, not everyone disagreed with the jury's verdict. On a Facebook page dedicated to discussion of the trial, Facebook user Lorraine Keeley said the jury got it right.
"The jurors have spoken. ... kudo's to this great defense team," Keeley wrote.
More controversially, conservative rock singer Ted Nugent called Martin a "dope smoking, racist gangsta wannabe" in defending the verdict in a column for the website Rare.
"Here's the lesson from all this, America," Nugent wrote. "Teach your children to not attack people for no good reason whatsoever. Conduct yourself in a responsible, civil manner, and everything will be just fine. Try to kill someone and that someone just may be exercising his or her Second Amendment rights and you could get shot. It's called self-defense, and it is the oldest, strongest and most righteous instinct and God-given right known to man."
Meanwhile, Zimmerman's parents, Robert and Gladys Zimmerman, offered more conciliatory words in an ABC interview.
"We are deeply sorry for this tragedy," Gladys Zimmerman said.

Gottschalk, Keith (Adonis & Abbey Publishers, 2012)[more][less]
Abstract: After seven decades of episodic existence through conferences, the Pan-African project became permanently institutionalised with the founding of the Organisation of African Unity in 1963, with a qualitative upgrade into the African Union in 2002. Much academic literature on African integration and the OAU-AU is pessimistic. Most media commentary is dismissive of the AU, and derogatory of the Pan-African Parliament. This article seeks to trace the on-going evolution of the OAU-AU, and enquire how the AU stands up to contemporary regional organisations. This makes it focus on operationalised ground truth, rather than entities which exist mostly on paper. The African Union and its regional communities have achieved significantly more - and attempted vastly more - than a score of contemporaries such as the Organisation of American States, the League of Arab States, the Association of South-East Asian Nations, and the Southern Common Market. Among regional communities, the African Union is arguably second in accomplishments to only the European Union, which has a three orders of magnitude larger budget and personnel establishment. The African Union's operations focus on peace-making, while its institution-building focuses on economic integration and development. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/492 Files in this item: 1

Gottschalk, Keith (Routledge, 2010)[more][less]
Abstract: This article introduces and analyses South Africa's space programme. This divides into three phases. First was the age of amateurs 1947-1962. Second, between 1963-1993, South Africa's apartheid ancien regime started various missile projects. A secret military space launcher programme aimed at orbiting reconnaissance satellites. Under US Government pressure, this was cancelled before the first democratically-elected government came to power, and the facilities for manufacturing and testing solid propellant missiles destroyed. But South Africa still maintains a nucleus of space heritage infrastructure, including a coastal space launch range with telemetry capabilities, satellite testing and integration facilities, and modest aerospace and software industrial sectors. Third, South Africa became a democracy in 1994, and rolled out the legal and institutional infrastructure for a space programme. It is increasingly active in COPUOS and other international forums. South Africa has started to shape a new space policy, this time with public transparency. Since developing countries have severe resource constraints (aggravated by global recessions) the reviving future of South Africa's space programme clearly needs to involve bilateral and multilateral partnerships. First fruits are that South Africa has negotiated with Algeria, Kenya, and Nigeria, the African Resource Management constellation, to pool imagery and other remote sensing data from all their microsats.

SMF Development > Fixed or Bogus Bugs
[4790] [Curve] possible Member List improvements
Some of these points might be down to personal taste, but with a few minor adjustments, I think the Member List could look much better than it currently does.
* Does the useron.gif/useroff.gif image really need its own column? Due to the "Status" header, it takes upp an excessive amount of horizontal space, so if it could be merged with the "Username" column like in ;action=who, that would be a huge advantage.
* The "Website" column looks completely out of place, since it uses a different background colour/class than the surrounding "contact information" columns.
* Due to the different background colour, the user's number of posts and its related statsbar appear as two totally separate items.
Here's a screen shot of the Member List with the suggested changes implemented:
Also, English isn't my native language, but wouldn't "Member List" be a better term than "Members List"? Whether you decide to change this or not, "memberlist" in $txt['mlist_menu_view'] = 'View the memberlist'; should at least be edited to conform with the chosen spelling in $txt['members_list'], and while you're at it, the unnecessary "the" could also be removed from the same text string.
The current memberlist is one of my pet hates. The final one will be better. ;)
ETA: although personally I wouldn't go with right aligned for the post count bars. Right aligned always looks forced and unnatural to me with ltr languages.
The right aligned stat bar certainly wouldn't be my preference either, but it was the best (easiest?) idea I could think of for my quick proof of concept, which wouldn't add complexity to the code. As good as the browsers' built in Developer Tools are there's also a limit to what can reasonably be done with them - at least in my hands...
I also tried a version with the number inside the stat bar, but that simply didn't look good at all, and it also made the bar less useful (than it already is). If the right-border is removed from table.table_grid td, separate columns could be used for number of posts and the stat bar, but I suspect that style is put to good use elsewhere (#mlist table.table_grid td could probably be used to circumvent that though), and wouldn't a single column be more semantically correct as well?
Anyway, here's a mock-up of that version:
I've also played around with various ways to simplify the Email, Website, ICQ, AIM, YIM and MSN columns, and here are the best alternatives I've come up with so far (provided that a select list can be used to sort the results of course):
And my personal favourite:
Yes we tried the numbers inside the bars early on but it has significant drawbacks. The select might be worth thinking about, although I was just going to sort some padding so the headings didn't look jammed up their own backsides. Meh. Can play with it on different res and see what works best.
The big question is if sorting by the various contact methods is even necessary or desirable. The only ones I've ever seen use it is e-mail harvesters...

Here's a tip for One Direction (since they aren't from around here...) you cant put your head outside the sunroof of your SUV while you're driving. It's against the law.
One Direction found this out yesterday in NYC.
Don't worry! They weren't given a ticket, just a warning and one officer asked to grab a photo with the boys.
They said yes.

Sevierville, Tenn. – The global travel website Away.com has named Wilderness at the Smokies one of the top 10 waterpark resorts in North America. It is the fourth time in the past year the Smoky Mountain vacation resort has been honored in media and industry top 10 lists. Southern Living magazine, TotsandTravel.com and Aquatics International have also recognized Wilderness at the Smokies as a premiere family-friendly resort.
"We continue to have a great year and are honored to be recognized on each of these lists," said Steve Cruz, General Manager of Wilderness at the Smokies. "These awards and accolades are a direct result of people recognizing what we are able to provide – under one roof – a fun, affordable, family-friendly destination."
In addition to the top 10 listing by Away.com, Wilderness was recognized by Southern Living last summer in its list of the "South's Best Pools." Other recognitions include being named to the "Top 10 Best Indoor Waterpark Resorts in the U.S." by TotsandTravel.com and being listed as a "Top Waterpark Resort" in Aquatics International's "It List" from 2011.
"Building on this momentum, we will soon introduce our guests to a new attraction that will take their experience in our waterpark to a completely new level," added Cruz.
The Wild Vortex, a 66-foot tall, AquaLoop™ slide will change the resort's skyline and will be the southeast's only near-vertical, translucent, looping waterslide. This 7-second thrill ride features a trap door and a 39-foot vertical free fall drop, with riders reaching speeds of up to 40 mph before entering the looping element of the slide. It is scheduled to open on June 1, 2012.
Wilderness at the Smokies, located minutes from Interstate 40 and situated in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, is one of the area's only year-round vacation destinations. With a 36-hole championship golf course, two outdoor waterparks, an indoor waterpark featuring the southeast's only Surf Rider, and a newly opened family entertainment park featuring a number of 'dry' activities like laser tag, a climbing wall and miniature bowling, Wilderness at the Smokies has something for all age groups. For more information about the resort, call toll-free 877-325-9453 or visit www.WildernessAtTheSmokies.com.

Amber is truly passionate about everything she does in her busy life. Running is a huge part of that passion. Amber ran the first half of The San Francisco Marathon in 2013, and she will be running the 2nd half in 2014. Check out her blog HERE!
Recent San Franciscan and Mission-dweller by way of Colorado, the United States Military Academy at West Point, five years of military service, and the Haas Graduate School of Business at UC-Berkeley. Ultrarunner with a 100M and multiple 50k/50M finishes (including The San Francisco Marathon's Worth the Hurt – 52.4 in 2012), Ironman finisher (Full Vineman! Yes!), round trip Alcatraz swimmer with the South End Rowing Club, and cyclist from SF-LA.

When April ran her first marathon, she said no more. Then, she started to sign up for more and so she set a goal to run ten marathons and then retire. Ten marathons later, April is getting ready for #11, #12 and #13 (NYC!) in 2014 and she is slowly working towards her new goal of running the World Marathon Majors. Her favorite races so far have been Chicago and Berlin. The crowd support and energy at both of those races was astonishing.
Pacific NW native, Bonnie knew something had to change, being 240 pounds left her unhappy, depressed and hopeless. She never expected to find running to be her passion and her freedom. Actually, when she ran her first 5K in 2008 she swore she would never run another event or run another step. After someone convinced her to give running a try, she ran another 5K and never looked back. Once she decided to run a marathon, so many people questioned her dedication, her willingness to go that far, some have said she would give up and regain all her weight. She finished her first marathon in 2012 in Oklahoma City, and has since ran Seattle, and made another trip to Oklahoma. When she is not talking about running she is a freelance researcher, writer, Zumba Instructor and soon to be personal trainer. She also enjoys anything that has to do with Pacific NW Coffee, Beer, and Professional Wresting. Check out her blog HERE.
Brandon has been running for 10 years, he ran one year of collegiate cross country for the Eastern Washington Eagles his senior year. Before that Brandon was running marathons over his first few years away at school, compiling 6 full marathons and 6 half marathons, becoming a Marathon Maniac the summer before his senior year of college by running 3 marathons in 49 days. Brandon knows what it's like to get injured, battling plantar fasciitis, ITBS, and stress fractures over his career, running his San Francisco Marathon in 2011 on minimal training, not something he suggests, but something he can help you through! Brandon is great for guidance and here to help you on whatever journey you are on to run this years San Francisco Marathon! Check out his blog HERE.
Brandon used to weigh a lot, now he runs a lot. At the start of 2010, he weighed nearly 300 pounds, and being healthy was the furthest thing from his mind. All that changed when his daughter was born, and he realized that he needed to change his unhealthy ways if he was going to be around to see her grow up. Brandon started running a few days a week, thinking that he would never run for more than a few miles at a time. Instead, Brandon quickly fell in love with running. Since then, he has lost more than 90 pounds, run 11 marathons and 3 ultras, including one 100 miler. Check out his blog HERE.
Bruce is 60 years old and is from Tucson, Arizona. It is never to late to start running! He has been running for just a little over three years. Bruce has completed seven full marathons, five of which he ran in 2013. He also competes in Duathlons. This will be Bruce's second year as a San Francisco Marathon Ambassador. The 2014 San Francisco Marathon will be his 70th race! One of Bruce's favorite mantras is Start Strong. Finish Strong.
Carla registered for her first half marathon on her 40th birthday. One year later, she has completed 5 half marathons and she is obsessed. Two years ago, Carla never would have imagined that she would run a mile. Now Carla runs 13.1 just for fun (and for the bling)! If she can run, anyone can run. How could she not love a sport that embraces that concept of eating good food?
Carmel loves peanut butter milkshakes. She is a native San Franciscan currently living in Boulder, Colorado. Her and her husband love their 3 dogs, traveling, staying active and drinking coin-style margaritas. Carmel is the Founder of The Image Exchange Project, a global nonprofit connecting youth around the world through the medium of photography. She looks forward to running another marathon in the city that she loves, San Francisco! Check out her blog HERE!
Carrie has been happily running for 25 years. She ran her first Marathon in 2012.The San Francisco, 2013, was lucky marathon #7! Carrie can't wait to run it in 2014 and mostly, she is excited and so very honored to be a part of the 2014 San Francisco Marathon Ambassador team. Let's do this!!

About one in 4,500 babies show ambiguous genitalia at birth, such as a clitoris that looks like a penis, or vice versa. For the Insights story, "Going Beyond X and Y," appearing in the June 2007 issue of Scientific American, Sally Lehrman talked with noted geneticist Eric Vilain of the University of California, Los Angeles, about the biology of sex determination, gender identity and the psychology and politics behind both. Here is an expanded interview.
When did you first discover your interest in intersex individuals and the biology of sex development?
I started in Paris as a medical student, and my first assignment was to a unit of pediatric endocrinology in a Paris hospital, and it was the center of reference for all of France for babies born with ambiguous genitals. And I was actually literally shocked by the way decisions were made on these patients. I felt it didn't rely on solid scientific evidence. I mean, I'm a scientist, I'm a big believer of you can't just do things without being supported by evidence. In this case it was more like people would say it was just common sense—if the clitoris sticks out this much, you have to fix it. Or if the penis is really too small, it has to be bigger. Otherwise what life is this child going to have? And you know, I was never convinced by common sense. I kept asking, "How do you know?" There was no good answer to that.
There were a lot of patients and it was always the same discussions. And it was mainly about clitoral reduction.
So there were sexual politics there, too?
Yes. I was reading at the time this book by Michel Foucault. He has book that's called Herculine Barbin. He basically tells the story of this girl who clearly has a large clitoris. She goes and gets sexually aroused as she sleeps in the bed of other girls, as it was normal for girls to do. She goes to this religious institution for girls until eventually someone finds out, and then it's a big scandal. She becomes a pariah, and she ends up committing suicide. I was reading that, I was pretty young, I was like 18.
Defining normality has always been an obsession of mine. How do you define what's abnormal versus normal? I guess it's the philosophical roots of the French educational system.
But why choose to study intersex questions for the rest of your career?
My scientific inclination was excited by this because not only was it understanding a rare condition that makes people different, all of these social aspects, but also it has scientific implications in the basic biology of developing male or female. Always in biology, you want to look at the exception to understand the general. So understanding intersex individuals makes us understand how typical males and typical females do develop.
So what has your research overall been able to say about sex development?
We've identified new molecular mechanisms of sex determination. In particular we've discovered genes, such as WNT4, that's female-specific and not present in males, and that's sort of shifted the paradigm of making a male as just activation of a bunch of male genes. In fact it's probably more complicated. What we've shown is that making a male, yes, is activating some male genes, but it's also inhibiting some antimale genes. It's a much more complex network, a delicate dance between pro-male and antimale molecules. And these antimale molecules may be pro-female, though that's harder to prove.
It sounds as if you are describing a shift from the prevailing view that female development is a default molecular pathway to active pro-male and antimale pathways. Are there also pro-female and antifemale pathways?
Modern sex determination started at the end of the 1940s—1947—when the French physiologist Alfred Jost said it's the testis that is determining sex. Having a testis determines maleness, not having a testis determines femaleness. The ovary is not sex-determining. It will not influence the development of the external genitalia. Now in 1959 when the karyotype of Klinefelter [a male who is XXY] and Turner [a female who has one X] syndromes was discovered, it became clear that in humans it was the presence or the absence of the Y chromosome that's sex determining. Because all Klinefelters that have a Y are male, whereas Turners, who have no Y, are females. So it's not a dosage or the number of X's, it's really the presence or absence of the Y.

Co-adapted by director Claude Berri from a novel by Marcel Pagnol, this hugely successful French historical drama concerns a bizarre battle royale over a valuable natural spring in a remote French farming community. City dweller Jean Cadoret (Gérard Depardieu) assumes ownership of the spring when the original owner is accidentally killed by covetous farmer Cesar Soubeyran (Yves Montand). Soubeyran and his equally disreputable nephew Ugolin (Daniel Auteuil) pull every dirty trick in the book to force Cadoret off his land, but the novice farmer stands firm. Although the Soubeyrans appear to gain the upper hand, the audience is assured that they will eventually be foiled by the vengeful daughter of the spring's deceased owner -- thus setting the stage for the film's equally successful sequel, Manon of the Spring.
Manon of the Spring (Manon des Sources) has also been released as Jean de Florette II in the US, as it is a sequel to Claude Berri's Jean de Florette. Both films are drawn from the same source: Filmmaker/novelist Marcel Pagnol's 1952 rural romance, also titled Jean de Florette. Manon (Emmanuelle Beart), now fully grown, is a shepherdess who prefers to keep her distance from the local villagers. She is determined to uncover the truth behind the death of her father (played by Gerard Depardieu in Jean de Florette) and to wreak vengeance on the men she holds responsible. The more sympathetic of the two men, Ugolin (Daniel Auteil), is in love with Manon, but this does not weaken her resolve. She causes the village's water supply to diminish, blaming this action upon Ugolin and his duplicitous co-conspirator Cesar (Yves Montand). The upshot of this vengeful behavior ends in tragedy for all concerned. The joint winners of eight French Cesar awards, Jean de Florette and Manon of the Spring were released to the U.S. in tandem in 1987. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Down East 2013 ©
The challenge of reversing a 60 percent decline in Maine's nonresident hunters was tossed to a Task Force last year by the legislature, and today that Task Force reported back with a list of thoughtful recommendations.
Tenley Bennett, an Aroostook County member of the Non-Resident Hunter Task Force, presented the group's report. Tenley, who manages a sporting camp with her husband Wayne, said, "It has become increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to operate traditional sporting camps and lodges as a primary means of income."
"We recognize non-resident hunters are a fine group and Maine has enormous potential to capture more of that market by simply changing licensing requirements and marketing better our best hunting opportunities. We also realize a collaborative approach to marketing will provide the greatest opportunity for success in increasing non-resident hunting license sales." Tenley said.
DIF&W Commissioner Chandler Woodcock noted that some of the recommendations are controversial and have been considered – and rejected – in the past by the legislature. These included allowing nonresidents to hunt on the first day of the firearms season on deer.
But nobody actually went through the Task Force's report or its list of recommendations today – a pretty good signal that we all know these are headed to the shelf, as quickly as possible.
Let me be clear. The recommendations are excellent and very necessary if we are to reverse the decline in nonresident hunters. The Task Force worked hard and did a superb job. But that doesn't mean the recommendations will ever be implemented.
Rep. Mike Shaw asked about Sunday hunting, noting that the lack of Sunday hunting opportunities makes it difficult for Maine to compete with other states that do offer Sunday hunting, including New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York.
The Task Force discussed Sunday hunting – a lot – and half of the public comments it received said that Sunday hunting was the most effective thing Maine could do to attract more nonresident hunters - but they chose not to make that a recommendation, because it's simply unrealistic, politically.
Senator John Patrick noted that resident hunters are not happy with their deer hunting or their "high fees," but praised the Task Force for offering recommendations directed at nonresident hunters.
Steve Wilcox from Witopitlock, a member of the Nonresident Task Force, offered gripping testimony. "This task force has left me hopeful and a bit bitter," said Steve. "I have been a guide for 17 years… I know where my nonresident hunters have gone: John and Andy go to Ohio, Mark and his group go to New York, Steve goes to South Carolina. And the list goes on."
Expressing his view that Maine will never replace nonresident deer hunters with nonresidents who come here seeking other game, Steve pleaded, "Let's deal with the problem head on, like it has not been done in the past 30 years… the biggest impact we can make to increase our hunter numbers is to increase our deer hunters."
"I feel – and many others like me – that the IF&W and the Maine government has failed us," he said sadly, focusing on all of the known issues from coyote predation to protection of deer yards.
Carolanne Ouelette, Tourism Office Director, who cochaired the Nonresident Task Force with my sister Edie Smith (at the time the Director of DIF&W's Information and Education Division), emphasized the importance of market research, noting that all of her programs are research based. "We really need the research to support anything going forward," she told the committee.
The top five Task Force recommendations were summarized for the legislature. Here they are.
MDIFW must work collaboratively with the Office of Tourism to develop a marketing plan promoting Maine as a destination for nonresident hunters; and in all areas of outdoor recreation.
Funding should be allocated to survey current and recently lapsed nonresident hunters, using a qualified market research firm specializing in natural resource and outdoor recreation issues; to find out what these customers want, why they have lapsed, and what barriers there are for travel to Maine as a hunting destination.
Based on the data generated from this market research, marketing tools, strategies and training must be provided to Maine's hunting industry partners, including guides, outfitters, sporting camps, B&Bs, and other state agencies such as Office of Tourism and Department of Conservation, to multiply the effect of the marketing plan.
New hunting licenses, "repackaged" licenses, or licenses that feature new privileges or opportunities appear to be one of the greatest factors with the potential to positively affect any kind of license sales. The Legislature and MDIFW must take a closer look at ways to accomplish and implement this initiative in a timely manner.
Maine must do more to promote its lands open to hunting statewide, and the ease of access to them. Paper collateral such as maps and brochures, and online information that can be shared by state agency and hunting partners' websites, must by developed, distributed, and kept current.
Here are my own thoughts.
Start treating nonresident hunters as customers, not cash cows. Every time DIF&W needed money, the legislature socked it to nonresidents. "They don't vote," one Senator told me a few years ago.
Alas, he was wrong. They've voted with their feet. And every Maine business that depended on them has suffered. Even last year, when the legislature enacted significant changes in the moose lottery to benefit residents, they did not make the same changes for nonresident applicants. Who cares about them!?
Don't limit the products nonresidents can buy. Do you think LL Bean, Reny's, or Mardens, would be prospering if they limited nonresidents to purchasing only 10 or 15 percent of their products? Well, that's exactly what DIF&W does with moose permits (10 percent to nonresidents) and any-deer permits (15 percent to nonresidents).
Focus the effort on nonresidents who own property here and have family here. Those will be the easiest to attract, and if they're happy, they'll expand their hunting experiences in Maine to include their friends from away. That's the way it used to work. Use the same techniques that others in the tourist business use to attract customers, especially social media and video. They work!
