Outdoor Store Wildlife Diversity Contact Us March 2012 Biology Report Boom Goes the Chicken The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation is working to conserve the lesser prairie chicken in northwest Oklahoma. Collectively — between the Wildlife Department, other state and federal agencies, conservation organizations and industries — over $40 million has been spent on or committed to habitat management and research efforts that benefit the lesser prairie chicken. "The Department supports responsible development and is working toward a shared goal of keeping the Lesser Prairie Chicken off the Endangered Species List," said Doug Schoeling, upland game biologist for the Wildlife Department. The lesser prairie chicken, a unique upland bird known for it's "booming" call during mating, has experienced population declines for many years. The species, found in northwest Oklahoma, has struggled to survive in its native habitat due to habitat fragmentation and land use changes over time. Lesser prairie chicken recovery efforts fall into three categories: habitat management, habitat protection and research. To encourage habitat management practices that will aid the native bird, state and federal agencies work closely with conservation-minded landowners on habitat projects including cedar control, prescribed burning, native grass planting and fence marking / removal. "Private landowners are key to wildlife conservation in Oklahoma, since about 95 percent of the land in Oklahoma is privately owned," said Schoeling. Additionally, the Wildlife Department has purchased several sections of prime habitat that will provide permanently protected areas for lesser prairie chickens. In the last three years, over 7,100 acres in Harper and Woods counties were purchased to create Cimarron Hills and Cimarron Bluff Wildlife Management Areas. Packsaddle and Beaver River, two other wildlife management areas in Ellis and Beaver counties, were expanded to include thousands more habitat acres. These lands are in key portions of the lesser prairie chicken's range. Lesser Prairie Chicken Gary Kramer, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service

Director Lee Daniels (Precious) teams up with Emmy Award-winning screenwriter Danny Strong to tell the remarkable story of White House butler Eugene Allen (played by Oscar-winner Forest Whitaker), who served eight U.S. presidents over the course of 30 years, and witnessed sweeping social change during his three decades of service at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Inspired by Wil Haygood's Washington Post article, the film features Robin Williams as Dwight D. Eisenhower, James Marsden as John F. Kennedy, Liev Schreiber as Lyndon B. Johnson, John Cusack as Richard M. Nixon, and Alan Rickman as Ronald Reagan.

Your friendly neighborhood web-slinger is back, only this time his sunny outlook has become partially overcast in the third chapter of director Sam Raimi's Spider-Man saga. Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, and James Franco return to reprise their roles from the previous two installments, with Thomas Haden Church, Topher Grace, and Bryce Dallas Howard making their first appearances in the series as Flint Marko (aka Sandman), Eddie Brock (aka Venom), and Gwen Stacy, respectively. Peter Parker (Maguire) has finally leaned to walk the middle ground between being the superhero that his city needs and the man that Mary Jane (Dunst) loves. All is well in New York City until one night, as Peter and M.J. sit gazing at the stars, a falling comet streams across the sky and crashes into the ground close by. But this isn't any ordinary shooting star, and upon impact the mysterious space rock is split open to reveal a shape-shifting symbiote with the power to overtake anything that it comes into contact with. Later, as Harry Osborn (James Franco) acquires his late father's flying board, engineers a powerful new Goblin outfit, and takes to the sky to avenge dad's death, the mysterious space sludge infects both Peter's Spider-Man suit and ambitious street photographer Eddie Brock (Grace). Peter's strange new suit gives him a newfound sense of power as it gradually overpowers his personality, and he discovers that escaped convict Flint Marko was in fact the man responsible for the death of Uncle Ben (Cliff Robertson). Unfortunately for Peter, Marko has recently acquired the power to morph at will and quickly completes his transformation into the dreaded Sandman. As the Sandman gives in to his darkest criminal instincts and the slithering space symbiote transforms Eddie Brock into the nightmarish fanged villain known as Venom, the citizens of New York City must once again call on Spider-Man to fend off destructive forces that are far too powerful for the likes of mortal man. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The latest innovation in high-tech defense hardware turns out to have a very dangerous mind of its own in this action thriller. Kara Wade (Jessica Biel), Henry Purcell (Jamie Foxx), and Ben Gannon (Josh Lucas) are three highly ranked U.S. Navy pilots who are part of a top-secret project involving the next generation of stealth fighter technology, the Talon Jet. Wade, Purcell, and Gannon are surprised when their commander, Captain George Cummings (Sam Shepard), introduces them to the new member of their team -- "Edi," an "extreme deep invader" developed as part of the "Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle" program. Utilizing the latest innovations in artificial intelligence, Edi is a computer-based flight controller that will take over the wingman's position in the team's formation, and while the pilots initially balk, Edi performs admirably in its first mission. However, after Edi is struck by lightning on a return trip, the computer's circuits and software begin to change in unexpected ways, and Edi not only begins to think for itself, it begins to violate direct orders. During a mission investigating the forces of a dangerous Chinese extremist, Edi starts an attack that could launch World War III, and it's up to Wade, Purcell, and Gannon to stop both Edi and its dangerous plan before it's too late. Stealth also stars Joe Morton and Richard Roxburgh. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Stan Lee's all-too-human superhero returns to the screen in this highly anticipated sequel to 2002's blockbuster hit Spider-Man. Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) is attempting to juggle college classes and his job as a photographer with the
Daily Bugle
while maintaining his secret life as costumed crime-fighter Spider-Man. Parker is also struggling to hold on to his relationship with Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst), who is beginning to enjoy success as a model and actress, and both Mary Jane and Peter have noticed he's beginning to buckle under the strain. Parker's friendship with Harry Osborn (James Franco) is also beginning to fray due to Peter's seeming alliance with Spider-Man, whom Harry blames for the death of his father, the nefarious Norman Osborn. As Parker weighs his responsibilities to himself and those around him against the obligations that come with his special powers, Spider-Man is faced with a new nemesis -- Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), a deranged scientist whose latest project has turned him into the near-invincible cyborg Doctor Octopus. Spider-Man 2 was directed by Sam Raimi, who helmed the first film, and much of the original cast has also reunited for this sequel, including Rosemary Harris, J.K. Simmons, and Bruce Campbell. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Tarzan [TV Series]
The third live-action TV series based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' immortal "King of the Jungle" (there had also been a few cartoon series and innumerable theatrical features), the WB network's Tarzan offered a few new up-to-date spins on the classic canon. Orphaned in the jungle as an infant, John Clayton (played by male model Travis Fimmel) was raised by apes and came to maturity as the resourceful Tarzan. All this changed when John/Tarzan was captured by his uncle, billionaire industrialist Richard Clayton (Mitch Pileggi), and flown to New York City, there to take his rightful place as the heir apparent of the vast Greystoke business enterprises. As uncomfortable as Tarzan felt in his new civilized surroundings, it was nothing compared to the discomfiture expressed by Richard Clayton's sister, acid-tongued publisher Katherine Clayton (Lucy Lawless), who wished that Tarzan would return whence he came so that she could take over Greystoke. At last fed up by all the inter-family squabbling and backstabbing, Tarzan escaped to the concrete jungle known as Manhattan, where he befriended feisty female NYPD detective Jane Porter (Sarah Wayne Callies). Ultimately, Me-Tarzan teamed with You-Jane to track down elusive criminals, while Jane's detective boyfriend, Michael Foster (Johnny Messner), and her official partner, Sam Sullivan (Miguel Nunez Jr.), expressed dismay at the girl's newfound bravado -- and while Jane's younger sister, aspiring actress Nicki Porter (Leighton Meester), lolled around awaiting her next "damsel in distress" assignment. The new Tarzan swung into view on October 5, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

After incorporating elements of comic book style and design into many of his films, director Sam Raimi helms this straight-ahead, big-budget comic book adaptation, which also marks acclaimed young actor Tobey Maguire's first dip into live-action blockbuster filmmaking. Spider-Man follows the template of the original Stan Lee/Steve Ditko source material, with hero Peter Parker an orphaned, intellectual teen loner living in Queens with his aunt (Rosemary Harris) and uncle (Cliff Robertson), and dreaming of the girl next door, Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst). On a field trip to a Columbia University lab, Peter is bitten by a genetically altered spider and overnight he gains superhuman strength, agility, and perception. At first, Peter uses his powers for material gain, winning a wrestling match with a purportedly lucrative prize. But when Peter apathetically fails to stop a burglar from robbing the wrestling arena, a tragedy follows that compels him to devote his powers to fighting crime -- as the superhero Spider-Man. When he's not busy fighting crime in a spider suit, Peter moves into an apartment with his best friend, Harry (James Franco), and begins work as a photographer at the Daily Bugle. Meanwhile, his do-gooder alter ego finds a nemesis in the form of the Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe), a super-powered, megalomaniacal villain who happens to be the alter ego of Harry's father, weapons-manufacturing mogul Norman Osborn. Spider-Man was written by the prolific blockbuster scribe David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Panic Room). ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

A happily married couple discover their friends are not as happy as they thought, and they begin to wonder how sound their own relationship can be, in this made-for-cable adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Donald Margulies. Gabe (Dennis Quaid) and Karen (Andie MacDowell) are a pair of wedded food writers who more than a decade ago introduced their close friends Tom (Greg Kinnear) and Beth (Toni Collette). Tom and Beth fell in love and got married, but one night as Gabe and Karen are making dinner, they receive startling news from Beth -- Tom has left her for another woman, and the two are filing for divorce. Gabe and Karen soon feel as if they are being forced to take sides in the heated battle between Tom and Beth, and as the combative couple separates and both parties move on to new relationships, Gabe and Karen find themselves taking a long, hard look at their own marriage -- and they're not sure how happy they are with what they find. Directed by Norman Jewison, Dinner With Friends was produced for the HBO premium cable network, where it premiered on August 11, 2001. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A seemingly-minor electronic error sets the world on the verge of nuclear annihilation in this made-for-TV adaptation of the novel by Eugene Burdick and Harvey Wheeler (which was previously filmed in 1964). Due to the burn-out of a piece of circuitry, a computer orders a U.S. Air Force jet on a strategic bombing raid, destroying targets in Russia with nuclear weapons. As Generals Bogan (Brian Dennehy) and Black (Harvey Keitel) desperately search for a way to recall the planes once the mistake has been discovered, the bomber's commander, Col. Grady (George Clooney) sets out on his mission with grim determination, while the President (Richard Dreyfuss) and his translator (Noah Wyle) stay in contact with the Soviet premier, trying to convince him that this was all a terrible mistake. Fail Safe was first presented as a live television broadcast which aired on CBS on April 9, 2000. The supporting cast includes Hank Azaria, Don Cheadle, James Cromwell, and Sam Elliott. Star George Clooney spearheaded the unique project and served as executive producer. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

James L. Brooks (Terms of Endearment, Broadcast News) directed this $50 million-plus romantic comedy, set in Manhattan. Dysfunctional, acid-tongued romance novelist Melvin Udall (Jack Nicholson), who suffers from an obsessive-compulsive disorder, takes pride in his ability to offend. At a nearby cafe, the only waitress willing to stand up to his sarcastic tirades is Carol Connelly (Helen Hunt), a single mother struggling to raise her chronically asthmatic son. In Melvin's West Village apartment building, talented contemporary artist Simon Nye (Greg Kinnear) lives across the hall from Melvin. Simon is the current darling of the New York art world, reason enough to draw Melvin's verbal fire, but Simon's gay lifestyle is further grist for the novelist's malicious mill. These three New Yorkers, none of whom appears to have a chance in hell at finding true happiness, discover their fates intertwined because of the fourth complicated character in the piece, Verdell, a tiny Brussels Griffon dog (played by newcomer Jill, after a 15-week training program). Melvin seems to have no friends or family, and he lives alone, working on his 62nd book.
When Simon goes into the hospital after a brutal mugging, Melvin has to take care of Verdell, and the dog actually warms Melvin's cold heart -- to the degree that he sets up unsolicited medical care for Carol's son. Eventually, Melvin is cornered into driving Simon and Carol to Baltimore, and during a hotel stopover, Melvin confesses to Carol, "You make me want to be a better man." The trip becomes an odyssey of self-realization for all three. Locations included Brooklyn's Prospect Park (Carol's neighborhood) and Greenwich Village (where Melvin's building is on 12th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues). Other exteriors were shot in downtown Los Angeles, where a dilapidated transient hotel at the corner of 4th Street and Main was transformed into the chic cafe where Carol works. Sets for the Simon/Melvin apartment interiors were erected on a soundstage at the Sony Pictures lot. Simon's paintings were created for the film by New York artist Billy Sullivan, whose work is part of the modern art collection at NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art and the New Orleans Museum of Art. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

The price of fame is murder -- or at least it is in the mind of one woman in New Hampshire. Suzanne Stone (Nicole Kidman) has spent most of her life wanting to be famous; she's attractive, speaks well, and imagines herself to be intelligent ("imagines" is the key word here), so she has set her sights on becoming a TV anchorwoman. However, opportunities for female broadcasters are hard to come by in Little Hope, New Hampshire, and she's convinced that her husband, the once handsome but now flabby restaurant manager Larry Maretto (Matt Dillon), is just getting in her way. Suzanne gets herself a spot hosting a weather report on a local public access station, and is preparing a documentary called "Teens Speak Out," which puts her in touch with a trio of high school students -- Jimmy (Joaquin Phoenix), Russell (Casey Affleck), and Lydia (Alison Folland) -- who are even more desperate for attention than she is. When Suzanne hatches a plot to get Larry out of her life once and for all, she uses Jimmy, who has developed a serious crush on her, to do her dirty work, but Larry's sister Janice (Illeana Douglas), who has long believed there was something fishy about Suzanne, eventually begins to realize what happened to her brother. Nicole Kidman won a Golden Globe award for her work in this film, which represented something of a comeback for director Gus Van Sant after the commercial and critical disaster of Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. Screenwriter Buck Henry plays a small role as a high school teacher. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Stephen Frears' Hero is a contemporary re-working of a Frank Capra-styled fable about a two-bit criminal named Bernie (Dustin Hoffman) who saves several passengers from a plane crash and leaves the scene without being identified, leaving only a lost shoe for identification. One of the passengers happens to be news-reporter Gale (Geena Davis) who is intent on finding her savior, and offers a million dollars to the "hero" of the crashed flight. Bernie has since given his remaining shoe to a homeless man named John (Andy Garcia) who decides to cash in on the offer. A handsome, charming man, John wins the hearts of the entire city. Soon, Bernie realizes that he's been cheated out of a million dollars, and he begins an effort to get his proper recognition--and his money. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

A doctor finds out the hard way that there's more to medicine than skill in the operating theater in this emotional drama. Jack McKee (William Hurt) is a gifted but arrogant surgeon who cares little about the emotional welfare of his patients and is little more than a benign stranger to his wife Anne (Christine Lahti) and his son Nicky (Charlie Korsmo). Jack has been suffering from a nagging cough for some time, and when he begins coughing up blood one morning, he finally allows another doctor to take a look at him. The doctor discovers that Jack has a malignant tumor in his throat that could rob him of the ability to speak, or even kill him. Suddenly, Jack is a patient instead of a doctor, and he learns first hand about the long stretches in the waiting room, the indignity of filling out pointless forms, and the callous attitude of the professional medical community. Jack also gets to know June (Elizabeth Perkins), a terminal cancer patient whose joyous embrace of life as her time draws to a close is an inspiration to him. Restored to health, Jack is determined to be a more caring healer and strives to be a better husband and father, but his new lease on life also earns him an enemy in fellow surgeon Murray (Mandy Patinkin), who wants Jack to lie under oath for him in a major malpractice case; and a new respect for Eli (Adam Arkin), an ear-nose-throat man he used to ridicule for his empathetic treatment of his patients. The Doctor was based on the memoir of real-life surgeon Ed Rosenbaum, entitled "A Taste of My Own Medicine." ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

In this comedy about a doctor-patient relationship pushed way beyond the office, Bill Murray plays Bob Wiley, a neurotic New Yorker struggling with a whirlwind of paralyzing phobias. When an exasperated colleague pawns the handful off on Dr. Leo Marvin (Richard Dreyfuss), the psychologist has no idea his last appointment will follow him north to New Hampshire on a month's vacation. Bob takes to Dr. Marvin's latest book like no therapy before it, so the well-meaning pest tracks Marvin down at his lakeside summer home to further discuss his problems. But Marvin, preparing for an interview on Good Morning America and a few weeks of R and R, views Bob's stalking as highly inappropriate, and demands he return to New York. But Bob can't take even the strongest hint, and sets up camp with a neighbor to indulge in his own "vacation" -- from his problems. Meanwhile, Marvin's son Sigmund (Charlie Korsmo), daughter Anna (Catherine Erbe), and wife Fay (Julie Hagerty) take to Bob's loopy charm, which Marvin views as an irritating threat. Marvin's temperature rises as Bob insinuates his way into the family, helping Sigmund learn to dive and counseling the previously ignored Anna. As Bob's stock continues to rise, and his to plummet, Marvin becomes increasingly unhinged as the minutes tick down to the interview. ~ Derek Armstrong, Rovi

Self-involved corporate raider Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) has recently split up with his girlfriend. Seeking directions to the Beverly Hills Hotel, he makes the acquaintance of free-spirited hooker Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts) and decides to put her on a 3,000-dollar retainer as his "date." He Cinderellarizes her by bankrolling a full wardrobe and cosmetic makeover. Of course, the setup will be strictly platonic. A disarming modern-day fairy tale, Pretty Woman was the picture that made Julia Roberts a superstar. As charming as she is in her "giggling" sequences, Roberts' best scene is her triumphant return to a posh Rodeo Drive shop where she'd been previously snubbed. Keeping Pretty Woman afloat throughout is the buoyant direction of Garry Marshall and the always welcome presence of Marshall's stock company of actors, including Hector Elizondo as a stuffy but golden-hearted concierge. Pretty Woman began its life as a much darker story of prostitutes and homicidal drug dealers, but more box-office-savvy heads ultimately prevailed. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

"They didn't kill me; I was dead already," is the statement uttered by Dexter Cornell (Dennis Quaid), an English professor at the University of Texas at Austin who has been poisoned by a slow-acting toxin and who has twenty-four hours to track down his killers before he ceases to exist. Remade from the 1949 Rudolph Mate thriller by Annabel Jankel and Rocky Morton, the co-directors jazz up the old luridness with slap-up doggishness that boosts the intensity-level higher than it deserves to go. Cornell is a burned-out novelist trying to hold on to tenure at the university while seeing his marriage collapse around him. As if that weren't enough, he is receiving amorous come-ons from smart, young student Sydney Fuller (Meg Ryan) and being badgered by another student, Nick Lang (Robert Knepper), to read his brilliant first novel. Not long after Dex demurs to Nick to read his novel, Nick is killed in a fall. Only then does Dex find out that Nick has been having an affair with his wife. Things keep going from bad to worse when, after an all-night drinking binge, Dex discovers that he has been slipped a poison that will kill him within 24 hours. Teaming up with the adoring Sydney, Dex tries to track down the person who poisoned him while dodging the cops, since he happens to be a prime murder suspect. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

While at a Washington party, Tom meets Susan Atwel (Sean Young), and they're soon sharing a steamy love scene in the back of a limo (marvelously parodied in 1993's Hot Shots! Part Deux). Several months pass before Tom meets Susan again; he discovers she's the mistress of the US Secretary of Defense David Brice (Gene Hackman). When Susan is murdered by Brice, his loyal aide (Will Patton) dutifully destroys the evidence and invents the fallacious theory that a KGB mole was responsible. Tom is assigned to locate that mole -- a perilous situation, since Tom knows that no such mole exists, but must go along with the charade since he was the last person who was seen with Susan. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A shutterbug is haunted by psychic visions of the killer who is murdering all of her friends in this hit thriller. Intense and driven, successful photographer Laura Mars (Faye Dunaway) has made a name for herself by juxtaposing sex and violence in her glamorous photos. But at the height of her success -- and just as a media backlash is brewing -- she begins to experience daydreams from the point of view of a serial killer as he relentlessly stalks and murders her associates. Her unbalanced ex-husband (Raul Julia) seems like an obvious suspect, especially when his new girlfriend is murdered and he goes on the lam. But Laura is shocked by the prospect that the killer could be somebody out to discredit her work, which she views as an artistic commentary on the degradation of the modern world. Under the protection of police detective John Neville (Tommy Lee Jones), Laura is unable to save even one of her friends from a violent end. Soon, she finds herself inside the mind of the killer as he marches down a familiar hallway: the one outside her own door. Co-written by Halloween director John Carpenter, Eyes of Laura Mars also features character actors Brad Dourif and René Auberjonois. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

As drivers await the arrival of General Motors's much-anticipated Chevy Volt plug-in hybrid car later this year, GM unveiled an electric vehicle of an entirely different stripe on Wednesday at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai. The company's Electric Networked Vehicle (EN-V) is a mini electric vehicle built for two, unless you are using it to go shopping, in which case you might have room for yourself and a bag of groceries.
Working with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp. Group (SAIC), GM designed the EN-V to meet the challenges of getting around major metropolises as urban populations swell. The EN-V resembles more an enclosed pedicab—minus the bike—than it does a car. In fact, the 1.5-meter-long vehicle is three times shorter than a typical car and weighs less than 500 kilograms, one third as much as most cars on the road today.
The EN-V relies on dynamic stabilization technology similar to that of the one-person Segway scooter to keep its balance, and can be operated autonomously or under manual control. In autonomous mode the EN-V is designed to use high-speed wireless connectivity and GPS navigation to automatically select the fastest route, based on real-time traffic conditions gleaned from the Web or some other networked source of traffic information.
Although the EN-V is currently only a concept vehicle, GM's goal is to equip them with sensors for autonomous functioning—helping drivers park and even avoid collisions. The vehicles are also expected to include systems that allow drivers to talk to other EN-V drivers while on the road. The EN-V is powered by lithium ion batteries that can last up to 40 kilometers between charges, and the vehicle is designed to be plugged into a standard wall outlet for recharging.
GM also styled its EN-V prototypes—which have a top speed of 40 kilometers per hour—to appeal to urban professionals on the move. The vehicle's body and canopy are constructed from carbon fiber, custom tinted plastics, and acrylic, which the company says makes it light but durable.
By 2030, more than 60 percent of the world's population will be living in urban areas, says Chris Borroni-Bird, GM's director of advanced technology vehicle concepts. In densely populated cities around the world, including New York City, "driving is not a practical way of moving around," he says, adding that a third of city congestion is typically caused by drivers looking for parking spaces. Several cities, including Athens, México City and Bogotá, Colombia, have resorted to "road space rationing," allowing a vehicle to enter the city only on certain days (or during rush hour), based on whether its license plate number ends in an odd or even number.
Borroni-Bird compares today's cars with 1980s-era PCs, which were clunky and largely operated without any network connections. Continuing that analogy, EN-V is like the smart phones and other wireless handheld devices that today keep people connected around the clock.
The EN-V evolved from the Segway-based Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility (PUMA) prototype that GM introduced about a year ago. PUMA weighed 136 kilograms, ran on a lithium ion battery and could travel at speeds up to 56 kilometers per hour, with a range up to 56 kilometers between recharges. The EN-V's additional weight comes courtesy of its upgraded chassis and the electronics that support the automated driving system (the PUMA did not operate autonomously). This weight, plus the more complex electronics, play a role in the EN-V's slower top speed and shorter range between charges.
Borroni-Bird acknowledges that the EN-V will be a tougher sell in U.S. cities, where a significant portion of people have grown accustomed to traversing the streets fully enclosed in weatherproof cars, trucks and buses. More likely, the EN-V will appeal more in places such as Mumbai and Shanghai, where urbanites are more used to walking and biking around their cities. "This vehicle wouldn't be as much of an outlier in other countries as it would be in the U.S.," he adds. Places like New York City might require bigger versions of the EN-V or perhaps a dedicated travel lane such as those available for cyclists.

Now loyal Honeywell 27 Year Employee Now Faces Foreclosure And Now Needs Champions To Step Forward To Help Her And Her Husband.
West Haven 8/05/2012 06:09 PM GMT (TransWorldNews)
Elderly Couple Says "No Way" To A Bank Of America Modification Stratagem
Bank Of America Isn't Good For America, Remove "America" From Your Name
On August 3, 2012, Mrs. Mandell of West Haven, Ct. a letter stating her mortgage was referred to foreclosure due to her refusal to sign and return modification and gag order settlement. This is the result of two separate offers made to Mrs. Mandell. The latter of the two, offered to them by Bank of America's Mr. Mark Bragg, Senior Vice-President (805) 917-1805 was somewhat acceptable but BOA was still demanding Mrs. Mandell to waive her first amendment rights as well as her husband's, including the right to any legal representation now and forevermore.
They've petitioned federal and state government leaders for assistance in dealing with the bank, but it fell on deaf ears. This lack of help for these citizens from Rosa Delauro, Richard Blumenthal, the OCC, CFPB and Attorney General George Jepsen leaves this elderly couple helpless in this, the eleventh hour. The Mandells are now being used as "Poster Children" to show any other critics that may want to fight back what happens when you disagree with Wall Street and the government. To support Mrs. Mandell leave message for Ron Sturzenegger, Bank of America at (800) 796-8448
Mrs. Mandell is a hardworking, conscientious employee, who started working for a company named Fire-Lite Alarms in New Haven, Ct. in 1985, and then Honeywell Industries purchased the company in 2000, now the company is located in Northford, Connecticut. "This provided her and all the employees a feeling of increased job security as Honeywell, headed by Mr. David Cote, is a well-oiled machine that knows how to grow honestly, responsibly and knows how to treat customers and it's employees." Mrs. Mandell added."

Missing Woman: Brandy Hall - FL - 08/17/2006

What happened to Brandy Hall?
Vigilant search for clues in firefighter's disappearance turns cold
and J.D. GALLOP
MELBOURNE - Her nickname growing up in Holopaw was "Redneck," and to friends, Brandy Hall was always one of the "Bull Creek Girls" -- as comfortable flying down the St. Johns River on an airboat as others might be driving a car on the interstate.
A firefighter and gentle mother to two children, she could be tough or as beautiful as any woman, friends and family said.
But behind the adventuresome free spirit, she worried in the past few months about a stalled career, mounting bills and her troubled marriage, they said.
A major concern for the Malabar volunteer firefighter was that husband Jeffrey Hall's conviction in a $1 million marijuana-growing operation in Osceola County could backfire on her or her children.
Tuesday marks two months since she disappeared. Her muddied pickup -- containing what police called "substantial amounts" of her blood -- was fished out of a murky Palm Bay pond Aug. 18 and the 33-year-old's mysterious disappearance continues to generate suspicions on all sides.
Was it suicide, murder or did Brandy Hall choose to leave behind her problems?
Whatever the answer, detectives and loved ones are continuing efforts to find her. But now police are saying they are empty-handed. Local News

Police aim to widen Hall search
Hall, a firefighter, vanished last year
PALM BAY - Frustrated detectives hope to take the case of missing volunteer firefighter Brandy Hall to a national audience.
Police Chief William Berger and Palm Bay detectives are working to get Hall's case featured on the popular crime series "America's Most Wanted" as a way of stirring up witnesses or evidence.
"We're hoping it can take place in January or early February," Berger said of efforts to have a production crew from the program, hosted by longtime law enforcement advocate John Walsh, visit Palm Bay.
"It would certainly help to go over the case and hopefully rekindle any memories. The case certainly will remain open," said Berger, who also would like to see the case featured on "Nancy Grace," a national program known for highlighting the plight of crime victims.
The search for the 33-year-old mother of two began Aug. 18 after her pickup was fished from the murky brown waters of a Palm Bay pond. Detectives drained the pond, near the campus of Brevard Community College, but recovered scant physical evidence.
The most chilling clue -- Hall's blood -- was found inside the waterlogged truck.
"It was not enough to prove she had been murdered," said Jess Suelter, one of the lead detectives on the case. "Right now, the case could actually go toward either being a homicide or a missing persons case."
For months, Hall's face and story have been alive in cyberspace, preserved on Web sites by friends who want the missing Malabar volunteer firefighter to come home safely.
Psychics also have been brought in to share their insights with police. One psychic pictured a body of water in connection with Hall but could not give a location. Police have sorted through hundreds of tips, including at least one that placed the woman alive in the Ocala area.
"We've even had people call and say, 'I had a dream about her,' " Berger said.
But so far, the tips have done little to move the investigation forward, police said.
Family members hope Hall will be found soon, for the sake of her children.
"We haven't heard anything new," said Kepler Funk, an attorney for Hall's husband, Jeffrey Hall. "It continues to be tragic."
Police are also looking into whether Hall may have left Brevard County on her own after legal and personal troubles that started in July 2005. That was when her husband -- the former Osceola County fire chief -- and onetime firefighter Paul Hirsch were arrested and charged with growing marijuana on the couple's 13-acre farm in Holopaw.
Hall was also arrested, but the charges were dropped. Hall lost her job as a Palm Bay firefighter but took a volunteer position with the Malabar Fire Department.

New Evidence Found in Case of Missing Florida Firefighter
Updated: 06-29-2007
INDIAN RIVER CO. Fla. --
Investigators were searching a canal, Friday, in western Indian River County after the discovery of new evidence in the case of missing Malabar firefighter.
Palm Bay police said several fishermen found Brandy Hall's backpack in the canal. Hall disappeared last August. Police said they don't know how the bag got there or how long it has been there.
The discovery does, however, provide new hope for a family who has had little to cling to.
Hall was last seen leaving the Malabar fire station last August. The backpack is the first major discovery in the case in almost a year.
Several fishermen reportedly found the backpack with several of Hall's personal possessions inside, including some clothing and something that had her name on it. The fishermen searched her name online and contacted the sheriff's office when they realized who she was.
The last major piece of evidence in the case, before the bag was discovered, was found the day after her disappearance. Her truck was found next to a local pond with blood on the front seat. Dive teams searched the pond, but police have remained tightlipped about the investigation and any clues they've found, even with Hall's own family.
Hall's family hopes the new lead helps bring the case back into the spotlight. The family also announced, Friday, the reward money for any information on Brandy's disappearance is being raised from $1,000 to $10,000, which includes $2,500 raised by family and friends at a rummage sale. The rest comes from Crimeline and the city.
One thing police will say is that they have not found any evidence indicating whether Brandy is dead or alive. They are categorizing their investigation as a missing person, possible homicide.

Malabar woman still missing after canal search near Vero Beach
July 6, 2007
A five-day search in and around a canal near Vero Beach failed to turn up a firefighter missing for nearly a year, Palm Bay police said today.
On June 28, fishermen found a bag in the water containing personal items belonging to Brandy Hall, a Malabar Fire Department volunteer and mother of two. Her bloodstained truck was discovered Aug. 18, 2006, on the bottom of the murky pond in southern Brevard County.
Last week's discovery set off a search in a two-mile radius around the canal, located at the end of 74th Avenue. Palm Bay police, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the Indian River County Sheriff's Office, Indian River County Fire Rescue and the Lake County Sheriff's Office took part.
Side-scan sonar provided by the Lake County Sheriff's Office provided underwater images to investigators, who targeted areas for follow-up searches by divers. Some items found are not being disclosed because of the continuing investigation, police said.
Hall's husband, a former Osceola County fire chief, has said he was with the couple's children, ages 5 and 10, when his wife disappeared and that he has no idea what happened to her.
Investigators are treating the case as a missing person's case and a possible homicide. Anyone with information is asked to contact CRIMELINE at 1-800-423-TIPS. There is a $10,000 reward for information leading to a resolution of the case.

Canal Search Comes Up Dry In Hall Disappearance
Friday, July 06, 2007 11:11:37 PM
Investigators weren't able to find anything else in a pond belonging to a missing firefighter from Brevard County.
Last month, a fisherman in Indian River County found a bag belonging to Brandy Hall in a canal near Vero Beach.
The Brevard County Sheriff's Office and several other agencies searched a two-mile area around the canal, but came up empty despite using some sophisticated equipment.
"The Lake County Sheriff's Office brought over special equipment -- sight scan sonar -- that was used to pretty much map the surface underneath the water to see if there was anything that could be identifiable," said Yvonne Martinez.
Hall has been missing since last August. She was a volunteer with the Malabar Fire Department.
If you have any information into the disappearance, call Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS. There is a $10,000 reward.

Police Consider Underwater Technology In Kesse Search
POSTED: 7:13 am EDT July 12, 2007

Orlando police said they may use sonar technology to search for Jennifer Kesse.
The Orlando woman has been missing since January 2006, WESH 2 News reported.
Investigators said they would use the underwater sonars in ponds around the apartment where Kesse lived, which is located near the Mall at Millenia.
The same equipment was used recently in the search for missing Brevard County firefighter Brandy Hall.

More Items From Missing Firefighter Found
Woman Missing Since Aug. 17
Palm Bay police officers found two more items in western Indian River County that possibly belonged to Malabar firefighter Brandy Hall, who has been missing since Aug. 17, Local 6 News partner Florida Today reported.
Police began to search the area last week after fishermen found a book bag in a canal containing some of Hall's personal items.
Police won't identify the two items they found but did say they were near where the bag was discovered. They said the contents of the bag included clothing and at least one item with Hall's name on it.
Palm Bay police spokeswoman Yvonne Martinez refused to give any other details about what was found because of the ongoing investigation.
The search encompassed a two-mile radius around a canal at the end of 74th Avenue near Vero Beach.
On Friday, friends and family announced that the reward for information about the volunteer firefighter increased from $1,000 to $10,000.
It was also fishermen who found the only other clue into Hall's whereabouts. On Aug. 18, a fisherman found her firefighting gear floating in a pond south of the Palm Bay campus of Brevard Community College. Police recovered Hall's green pickup submerged in the pond. The cab contained what police have called "a substantial amount" of Hall's blood.
But police and family still have no idea what happened to Hall, 32. No body has been found.

Brandy Hall Missing For One Year
Friday, August 17, 2007 4:27:57 PM
It's now been exactly one year since the disappearance of Brevard County firefighter Brandy Hall.
The 33-year-old mother of two was last seen leaving the Malabar Volunteer Fire Department on August 17, 2006. She was reported missing the next day.
Her pick-up truck was found at the bottom of a small pond in Palm Bay.
Divers searched the pond and found some of Hall's clothing. The pond was then drained, but no physical remains were found.
Detectives searched nearby woods, interviewed family and friends and even called on a psychic for help, but Hall's disappearance remains a mystery.

Clues remain scant in Brandy Hall case
Police scour for info as family, friends push to make story more visible
BY J.D. GALLOP and KIMBERLY C. MOORE
PALM BAY - Jeff Hall still wears the wedding band his wife, Brandy Hall, slipped onto his finger long before the volunteer Malabar firefighter vanished.
"It's been a year -- it's just hard to believe," said Hall, talking openly -- and without a lawyer -- with FLORIDA TODAY.
"In my heart of hearts, I don't think she ran off. I mean, you always hold out a glimmer of hope, but, you know, that would be just devastating if she did that. But based on what we know -- evidence and stuff -- it's kind of hard to think that somebody hasn't done something bad to her."
Today marks one year since 33-year-old Brandy Hall walked out of the Malabar Volunteer Fire Station and stepped into a missing-persons mystery that continues to confound police, family and friends.
Hall and the rest of Brandy's family
are caught between hopeful and heartbroken, not knowing what happened to her the night of Aug. 17, 2006.
Detectives -- who have even relied on psychics for help in the case -- are at a standstill. Even though they've found some items belonging to Brandy in remote locations, they have almost no new leads coming in and no physical remains have been found.
And her friends, frustrated with the lack of clues to her whereabouts, have settled into a crusade mode, hawking T-shirts to raise reward funds and pleading for national crime-fighting programs like "America's Most Wanted" to tell Brandy's story.
The case
Police have sorted through several theories about what happened to Brandy. Did she just decide to leave behind her two children and family troubles? Did her husband's marijuana-growing business, and subsequent arrest and conviction in Osceola County, lead to her disappearance?
Hall, the former Osceola County fire chief, was sentenced to 18 months in prison the day after Brandy was last seen. He has yet to report to prison.
Since Brandy vanished, Palm Bay police homicide detectives have:
Drained and searched a pond near Brevard Community College's Palm Bay campus, in which Brandy's truck and firefighting gear were found.
Used cadaver dogs to search the woods surrounding the Malabar home Brandy and Jeff Hall shared.
Sorted through financial records, cell phone records, tracked down reported sightings and conducted some searches based on detailed tips from psychics.
Interviewed some family and friends, including giving two lie detector tests to fellow Palm Bay firefighter Randall Richmond. Police have not named Richmond as a person of interest in the case.
Searched a Vero Beach canal and fields surrounding it after Brandy's book bag was found there in late June.
"It's still an open case. We've been following any leads that come in," said Palm Bay police Detective Ken Arnold, one of several investigators who have poured over two thick binders packed with details and photographs from the Brandy Hall case.
"Someone has to know something," he said. "It's frustrating that that person hasn't come forward."
Emotionally drained
Brandy's parents, Debbie and Cliff Rogge, said they are devastated.
"Please, somebody wake us out of this horrible, horrible nightmare and have my daughter standing in front of me," Debbie Rogge said.
A year later, tears still well up in Hall's eyes when he talks about the impact of Brandy's disappearance on their children and his life.
He recalled the last time he spoke to his wife, about an hour before a video camera caught grainy images of Brandy leaving the Malabar Fire Department. He said Brandy prayed by telephone with their children, who were nestled in bed with him in their home.
Minutes later, he called her again to talk about a job and his sentencing hearing on drug charges the next day.
"She goes, 'I'll see you in the morning. I got the truck all fueled up and ready to go,' " he recalled. "She said, 'I love you,' and that was it."
When Brandy failed to arrive the next morning, Hall said he tried calling her on her cell phone. Hall, facing 18 months in prison, was hoping Brandy would be by his side in the Osceola courtroom.
"That's when I really started freaking out," Hall said. He started calling friends, family, hospitals, anyone who might know something.
Hall said he knows police consider him a person of interest in Brandy's disappearance and he understands why.
"It's always the thing with the spouse -- you see it on TV, on CNN," Hall said. "I understand a certain aspect to that, but it was explained to me by (the police), 'Nothing has ruled you out,' so you're always in that loop among other people."
Police frustrated
Detectives say the person they most want to talk to about the case is the one who likely knew Brandy the best: her husband. Arnold said Hall has yet to sit down for a formal interview with police or take a lie detector test to clear up lingering questions.
"His attorney won't allow it," Arnold said. "(Jeff Hall) does provide some information every once in awhile, mostly from his psychic connections. But we've never formally spoken. Any information we get would be helpful. He's the husband."
Hall, for his part, says he has offered to talk to Palm Bay detectives and already has been interviewed by a Florida Department of Law Enforcement agent.
"I've never been offered a lie detector test. I told my attorney that I would be glad to take one. I've actually given the police information," he said.
"You know, it's tough dealing with this every day. You get depressed, and on top of that, you're not being told anything."
Hall's attorney, Kepler Funk, recently lost an appeal in Hall's drug case and Funk said he is now discussing with prosecutors when Hall will have to report for his 18-month sentence.
Hall said he has ridden an emotional roller coaster for the last year, hoping one day that Brandy's alive, but thinking the next day that she might be dead.
Hall said he and Brandy's 6-year-old son and 11–year-old daughter have gone to counseling, but the counselor first made him tell the children that their mother was gone.
"I asked the lady, 'How do you tell your kids their mom is dead when you don't even know?' " he said.
But the most visceral impact has been on the couple's son. Hall said that almost nightly, the boy wakes up at 10:30 or 11 p.m. with "night terrors," screaming.
"He sees Mommy," Hall said.

Missing womans husband goes to jail
The husband of missing Malabar firefighter Brandy Hall spent the first night of an 18-month stint behind bars for marijuana cultivation after an Osceola County judge denied requests to allow him more time with his children while police search for their mother.
The decision by Judge John Morgan on Wednesday meant Jeffrey Hall, a former Osceola fire chief, was swiftly fingerprinted and booked into the county detention center following the courtroom hearing in Kissimmee, officials said.
The 44-year-old will be turned over to state corrections to serve out sentence for the cultivation of marijuana on the 13-acre property he shared with his wife, Brandy Hall, officials said. The hearing was also the latest twist in the Brandy Hall case as Palm Bay police continue to search for clues in the firefighters mysterious disappearance in the hours before his initial sentencing on Aug. 18, 2006.
Palm Bay police had hoped to talk to Jeffrey Hall, who is not considered a suspect in his wifes disappearance, before he was remanded to prison. He was out of custody on bond while attorneys argued he was now forced to be a single parent to the couples two small children. Detectives with few leads to work on maintained that Jeffrey Hall has refused to be interviewed about the case without immunity. There are questions that have never been answered, said Mike Pusatere, the lead detective on the Brandy Hall case.
Wanting a promise of immunity... it makes him appear he has something to hide or that he had something to do with her disappearance, but I dont think thats the case.
Pusatere said what he wants to know is whether Hall thinks the disappearance has anything to do with the marijuana case or anyone from the couples past.
Brandy Hall was also charged in the marijuana case but the charges were eventually dropped.
Kepler Funk, Jeffrey Halls attorney said his client talked freely with an FDLE agent within days of the disappearance. Mr. Hall told the complete truth and everything he knew in an effort to locate his missing wife, Funk said in a statement.
Hall, said Funk, also coordinated search efforts and hired a private investigator to find his wife.
The Palm Bay Police Department should focus their time and efforts on finding Brandy and not re-interviewing a person who is not a suspect.
Pusatere remained adamant that Jeffrey Hall could help the case.I think he can shed light and clear up some avenues of the investigation and clear up our focus, Pusatere said.

Brandy Hall friends plan fundraiser
PALM BAY Friends of missing Malabar firefighter Brandy Hall will host a garage sale this weekend to raise funds for her childrens trust fund.
The garage sale is open to the public and will take place Saturday at Trailriders, a horse club located on Eber Road. Hall, whose disappearance Aug. 17 set off an investigation by Palm Bay police, had two children.
Her husband Jeff Hall is in prison serving an 18-month sentence on an unrelated marijuana conviction.
Were just trying to raise some money to support these children. They dont have any medical insurance, nothing. They need our support, said Lynn Troup, a close friend of the Halls and an organizer of the sale.
Troup said the couples 6-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter are in the care of family members.
They write their fathers letters and he is allowed phone calls with them, Troup said, adding the children are still seeing counselors to help cope with the disappearance of their mother.
Troup and her friends have also raised over $1,800 as part of a $10,000 reward for information leading to Halls whereabouts. All of the proceeds from the garage sale will go to the Hall Childrens Trust Fund at Riverside National Bank, Troup said.
Hall was last seen leaving the Malabar Volunteer Fire Station on Aug. 17, 2006. Her fire gear was found floating the next day in a pond near the Brevard Community Colleges Palm Bay campus. Investigators are treating the case as a homicide investigation.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Palm Bay police at 952-3456.

PALM BAY, Fla. -- New information prompted Palm Bay divers to renew their search for missing Brevard County firefighter Brandy Hall.
They went back to the pond along Treeland Boulevard, Monday, because of recent sonar data that detected two unknown objects in the water. Investigators believe they may be clues to her disappearance.
Palm Bay police said they searched for an hour, but didn't find anything major during the dive.
Hall was last seen in August of 2006. Her truck was found near the pond.

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- It's been nearly 2 years since Brandy Hall disappeared. The last time anyone saw her was when she left work on August 17th, 2006.
The next day investigators pulled her truck from a Palm Bay pond. It was filled with blood. But there was no sign of Brandy.
Nor has there been since.
Her family is holding out hope this strong woman is still alive.
In her first one on one interview--Brandy's mom Debbie Rogge re-lives the last two years without her daughter and best friend.
"It's just like a part of your heart is gone,†Rogge said. "Your family isn't here.â€
Hall has two children--a 12 year old and a six year old.
Grandma Rogge wants to keep the kids' identities and location private--but say they're hurting for their mom.
"They said to tell her they love her and miss her and want to see her,†Rogge said fighting back tears. "It would be great if she would just come and stand here and be here.â€
Rogge doesn't think Brandy Hall would have left on her own--she thinks someone took her.
Right now police have no idea where she could be.
They say she disappeared one day before a judge sentenced her husband for having a huge marijuana growing operation at their home.
But that's not what Hall's mother is focusing on right now.
"If someone finds her, please bring her home,†she said. "I wish somebody could find her and bring her home. It's just hard to live without her.â€

Police: Helmet Not Linked To Disappearance
Item Found Month Ago By Fishermen
POSTED: 11:48 am EDT August 7, 2008
UPDATED: 1:40 pm EDT August 7, 2008
PALM BAY, Fla. -- A weathered firefighter's helmet found by fishermen a month ago has become the latest focus of detectives in the nearly 2-year-old case of missing Malabar firefighter Brandy Hall.
The Osceola County Fire Department helmet was found at an Indian Harbour Beach marina near Mathers Bridge -- a popular spot for fishermen, Local 6 News partner Florida Today first reported.
But Palm Bay detectives are unsure if the helmet could be linked to the disappearance of the one-time Osceola firefighter who was last seen Aug. 17, 2006. Hall, a 32-year-old mother of two, was last seen on surveillance video footage walking out of the Malabar Fire Department headquarters.
Police said the helmet was discovered last month on the side of the road next to the Tel Mar Bay Marina in Indian Harbour Beach. A firefighter from Orange County who was in the area recognized it as belonging to the Osceola County Fire Department and returned it to the agency. Realizing it may belong to the missing firefighter, the helmet was turned over to Kissimmee Police who then contacted Palm Bay detectives. According to a police interview with Hall's husband, the helmet was kept in the couple's shop in West Melbourne, which is the last place it was seen.
Detectives said on Thursday morning they don't believe the helmet, or its recent discovery, is in any way connected to Hall's disappearance in August 2006.
"It's not a significant development," said Detective Mike Pusatere. "But we still had to rule out any suspicions that it may be connected."
On the two-year anniversary of Brandy Hall's disappearance, family and friends are planning a "celebration" instead of a vigil for Brandy at the park next to Malabar Volunteer Fire Department from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.
The case has generated a number of tips for Palm Bay police detectives but none that have led to Hall, who worked for the Osceola Fire Department in the late 80s was married to the county's top firefighter, Jeff Hall. Last year, Jeff Hall was sentenced to 18 months in state prison in connection with a marijuana growing operation discovered at the couple's Holopaw property.
On Aug. 18, 2006, Brandy Hall's truck -- with blood on the front seat -- was pulled from a pond near Brevard Community College's Palm Bay campus after a fisherman spotted firefighting gear floating nearby.

Palm Bay detectives said they are confident they will figure out what happened to Brandy Hall.
It was five years ago when the former Palm Bay firefighter disappeared.
Officials held a news conference Tuesday regarding new developments in the disappearance and presumed homicide of Hall.
Hall disappeared on Aug. 17, 2006. Her truck was pulled from the bottom of a secluded pond off of Treeland Boulevard. Investigators said they found a significant amount of blood in the truck. They said there is no evidence that she is alive.
Since her disappearance, detectives have conducted numerous interviews and compiled a short list of potential suspects that may have been involved or have knowledge of what happened to Hall.
Tuesday morning, Palm Bay detectives met with FBI profilers who are now assisting with the investigation.

Brandy Hall
Missing since August 17, 2006
Brandy Hall is a role model to her family, friends and the entire Central Florida community where she lives. The thirty-two year old mother of two has worked as a paramedic and firefighter in the area for over ten years. But after a devastating year in which her husband Jeff is arrested for marijuana cultivation and Brandy loses her job, she mysteriously disappears. Less than 24 hours later, Brandy's truck is found submerged at the bottom of a pond and it's only the beginning of a series of mysterious clues that baffle investigators and leave Brandy's loved ones bereaved and confused.
If you have information about Brandy Hall, contact Palm Bay Police Dept (FL), (321)952-3456.

Sunglasses are an important accessory and the right pair really varies per occasion. Check out these three pairs from Ray-Ban and examples of when to wear them:
Red Wayfarer – $119 - A pair of Red Wayfarer's will show that just because you wear a suit to work doesn't mean your square. These shades are hip and fun. When to wear: A Wilco Concert
Daddy-O – $109 – If you are going to be active outdoors you'll want a pair of shades that will stay on your face and block out the sun at all angles. Daddy-O's give a snug and comfortable fit perfect for outdoor sports. When to wear: When playing beach volleyball.
Craft Outdoorsman – $239 – The Craft Outdoorsman's are a bit on the pricey side, but with the large aviator frames and deer leather – the whole point is to look like a big shot. When to wear: Upon entering a Las Vegas Casino with two supermodels that are both three inches taller than you.

Reeling Hawkeyes host improved Minnesota
IOWA CITY (AP) — Few things have bothered Iowa more over the past two seasons than losing the "Floyd of Rosedale" trophy to Minnesota and then failing to win it back.
The struggling Hawkeyes have a lot more than a bronze pig to worry about right now.
Iowa (2-2) hosts the unbeaten Gophers (4-0) on Saturday. The matchup has taken on even meaning for the Hawkeyes in the wake of last weekend's collapse against Central Michigan.

Parallel Models of Curating
November 3-4, 2012, Ljubljana, Slovenia
This colloquium examined the rise of the curator and curatorial practice in contemporary art. Following the collapse of universalist models of museums, it has become clear that a curator is someone who negotiates the hegemonic positions and takes responsibility for the historicization and canonization of art by questioning normative ideas about historical experience, time, works of art, and the art environment. What do notions of universality and particularity mean in different contexts? How do curatorial practices and networks emerging from local conditions shape the larger professional field? How does it go beyond the so-called limitations posed by geography, institutions, and access? How might we view these "limitations" as a productive condition for curating and interregional collaboration? These are some of the issues and questions this colloquium addressed.
Participants: Nancy Adajania, Independent Curator and Scholar; Zdenka Badovinac, Director, Moderna galerija; Cosmin Costinas, Executive Director, Para/Site Art Space; Ekaterina Degot, Professor, Moscow State University and Rodchenko Moscow School of Photography and Multimedia; Christine Eyene, Art Critic, Independent Curator, and Consultant; Inti Guerrero, Art Critic and Independent Curator; Alenka Gregoric, Artistic Director, City Art Gallery, Ljubljana; Ranjit Hoskote, Poet, Independent Curator and Scholar; Maria Lind, Director, Tensta Konsthall; Tevž Logar, Artistic Director, ŠKUC Gallery and Academy of Visual Arts; Andre Mesquita, Independent Scholar; Bojana Piškur, Curator, Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova; Sarah Rifky, Curator, Townhouse Gallery of Contemporary Art and Professor, American University in Cairo, and MASS Alexandria; WHW, Curatorial Collective; Joana Warsza, Director, Laura Palmer Foundation; Beti Žerovc, Professor, University of Ljubljana; Anton Vidokle, Artist and Founder, E-flux.

KINGSTON, N.Y. -- The Kingston school board on Monday chose Matthew McCoy as its president and Nora Scherer as its vice president for the 2012-13 school year.
Trustees chose McCoy, who had been vice president of the board, over James Shaughnessy, who had been president of the school board for the past two years, by a margin of 6-3.
Trustees James Michael, Scherer, Maureen Bowers, Kristen Uhl, the Rev. James Childs, and McCoy voted for McCoy as president, with trustees Robin Jacobowitz, the Rev. Arthur Coston, and Shaughnessy supporting Shaughnessy.
The vote for Scherer as the board's vice president was unanimous.
McCoy, who was first elected trustee in 2007, was first elected board vice president in July 2009, and he serves on the Dietz Stadium Commission and the board's Building Inspection Team. He is employed as the Castkill school district clerk.
Some trustees indicated they were observing the board's tradition of having presidents serve for two years and said change can be good for an organization.
Scherer was elected to the board last year and has served on the Building Inspection Team and the subcommittee to seek alternative uses for Frank L. Meagher Elementary School, which is closing this summer. She is a retired teacher who worked for the district for 38 years.

Product 586/588
Ada seemed to know somehow when Mary was down on herself. Youre doing it again. Stop beating yourself up; were just teenagers. Come on. They would go to a local restaurant, order one huge chocolate dessert, two forks, and end up giggling on a sugar high. You keep me sane, Ada, she said often.
Oh, Mary, youre fine. You just need to get out more, Ada would reply.
The first semester of sophomore year, they started a Caelan fan club with four other girls in their dorm. They met weekly, carpooled to concerts, and became inseparable. Sara even came up for the first couple of concerts of the year.
Sara pulled Mary aside on the first trip. Ada is very good for you. You keep her around, okay? Promise me.
I promise. Mary let out a long breath. Why are you always so worried about me? Im fine.
You keep saying those words, but they never reach your eyes, Sara said.
My eyes? she asked, hurt by Saras words.
Your eyes look sad when you dont get As, or we talk about guys. Sara hugged her. I love you, and I worry about you. You know that.
Some friends know me a little too well.
Saras boyfriend proposed two weeks later, and her trips to visit Mary stopped. They continued to speak every week by phone and send text messages. Mary was going to help her pick out her wedding dress when they were home for Christmas. Ada offered to come along for moral support, but they decided it would just be the girls from high school.
Mary knew she would remember this year forever. She felt like she had sisters, and the bond they created was something she had hoped for as an only child.
Best year ever.
Mary and Ada would frequently argue about which guy was the cutest and occasionally, Ada was caught off guard by her vehemence. You take this too seriously, Mary. Its just a boy band! Ada would tell her with a laugh.
Mary never told Ada she knew she took it too seriously sometimes. That she would catch herself fantasizing so often about a future with Devin she would forget to complete some assignments on time and had to do extra credit to keep her grades up. The last semester of sophomore year, she took abnormal psychology and loved it. One weekend home with her mother, she read Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. She went through every disorder and checked off the ones she was sure she had. Of course, she also diagnosed her mother, father, and all of her friends. At the end of the weekend, one thing came to mind: Im a little more obsessive than normal. Have to watch that.
