E. coli: How can I tell if food is contaminated?
E. coli: How can I tell if food is contaminated?
from Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D.
You can't tell whether a food is contaminated with E. coli by the way it looks, smells or tastes. Although most types of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria are harmless, certain strains, such as E. coli O157:H7, can cause serious foodborne illness. To protect yourself from E. coli and other foodborne illnesses, follow basic food safety guidelines:
- Rinse raw produce thoroughly; scrub produce that has a firm surface.
- Wash your hands, utensils and kitchen surfaces with hot, soapy water before and after preparing or eating food.
- Keep raw foods, especially meats, separate from ready-to-eat foods.
- Cook your food thoroughly. Beef, pork, lamb and veal steaks, chops, and roasts should be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius). Ground meats other than poultry should be cooked to at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71 degrees Celsius). And all poultry should be cooked to 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
- Refrigerate or freeze perishable foods promptly.
- Avoid unpasteurized juices, ciders and dairy products.
- Don't drink untreated water from lakes or streams.

The recent disappointing results of FnaticMSI.HoN required serious actions in order to maintain the high standards the organisation consistently aims for. Thus we decided to add a sixth player to the roster, him being none other than the famous Jae Hyung 'chu' Park who up until recently played for Evil Geniuses.
After weeks of negotiations with [EG] and 'chu' both parties agreed on meeting at the French LAN event Gamer's Assembly in order to test the chemistry between the players in scrims (on sub accounts) and agree on the fee by which 'chu' is bought out of his current contract with [EG].
The results were satisfying for everyone and we are proud to welcome 'chu' in the Fnatic family. He also will officially confirm his switch anytime soon.

Why is the asian(Chu) the only one wearing the token "Euro skintight jeans"?
well with the current status of the meta game, thus being tankygankers+mid-lategame powerhouse hardcarry, anticarry counter lineups chu plays a vital role in helping MSI to be a more wellrounded team.
i personally think after many calculations(because ive theoreticized this gathering of hon gods) and based on my equation as follows;
C(MSI) 2 + H 2 CP 4 = hGoD 4 + pR 2 O
based on this you can tell that with one korean on MSI they will be the best team by far, so if you think about any of the top DOTA chinese teams converting to hon, the EU+US competitive scene would be in shambles.

Kathleen Coughlin
Kathleen Coughlin has been selected by the UNF Alumni Association as the recipient of the Senior Service Award for the spring 2013 graduating class. The UNF Alumni Association selects a graduating senior each semester for outstanding service to the University and the community through volunteerism. Kathleen, native to Gainesville, FL is graduating today with a Bachelor of Arts and science degree in Spanish, with a GPA of 3.68. Over the past four years, she has become well known on campus and in the Jacksonville community. Since arriving at UNF, Kathleen has volunteered in many capacities. Her top accomplishments include serving as a patient companion at the Mayo Clinic, group leader and mentor at Beach United Methodist Church, member of the Presidential Envoys Student Alumni Association, founding member and officer of the UNF Spanish Club and serving in numerous roles supporting more than 13 on-campus organizations with varying missions including student life, athletics and professional career progression. Kathleen's most rewarding experience was serving as a patient companion at the Mayo Clinic. She spent three years visiting and inspiring patients who typically did not receive visitors or much attention. She traveled from room to room providing a warm spirit and supported nurses by restocking their carts and sanitizing rooms. Kathleen says the most difficult part about volunteering at the Mayo Clinic was when the patients she connected with would leave the hospital, especially the many that were often there for an extended period of time. Continuing the theme of inspiring others to be well and do better, Kathleen has spent four years mentoring youth at Beach United Methodist Church. She leads a weekly bible study session for tenth grade girls and has put tremendous time and energy into developing relationships with each of them. As a mentor both individually and as a group, Kathleen attends weekly youth events and spends quality time, making them feel that they are a very important part of society of each other's lives. In addition to a larger list of off campus activities, Kathleen has remained heavily involved in UNF campus life and student organizations. As a Presidential Envoy, she served as a student ambassador to the University president and also filled the role of spirit spotting chair. Through this role she represented the University at various events, worked directly with alumni and financial donors, increased UNF pride among the student body and assisted with the organizing and implementation of community service events. Kathleen's service to UNF would not be complete without supporting her colleagues in the Spanish department, for which she has devoted four years of learning. Last year, she worked with a group of students and faculty to create the UNF Spanish Club and since has helped establish a student base, served as a club officer and laid a foundation for her successors to build upon. In all, Kathleen has had a definitive impact on her peers on and off campus in Northeast Florida. She is a remarkable example of a focused, well-rounded student leader with a heart for service and passion for people; a true representation of the University of North Florida.

We made some pretty big steps forward in the demolition process this past week. Husband has done the largest majority of it by far, but I've been able to help with a few things. Mainly cleaning up the messes he makes and hauling the debris out to the dumpster. (Our first roll-away is full, we are hoping to get another one tomorrow)
Saturday we got a pretty early start and some of my family came out to help with the dirty work. It was HOT and we were all nice and sweaty from tearing down walls. It is a lot of work! We ended up calling it a day pretty early and headed out to Pickerel Hills to go for the first swim of the summer. The lake was a little bit chilly but it felt really refreshing after working in the heat. We ended up staying over night – the thought of coming back into town to our non-air conditioned house was not really appealing. Plus one of my sisters was there with her two boys and my grandma too, so we got to hang out and enjoy the company – and a great grilled dinner al fresco!
Sunday we headed back out to the farm to start working on plans. We got a few things figured out, took some measurements, tossed around a bunch more ideas, drew on the floors and walls with chalk, had lunch, and came home.
Here are a couple of pictures of what is going on right now. We took out the closet at the top of the stairs and the walls that separated the bedrooms. This is the north side of the house and will become the living room. Husband also came up with the most AMAZING idea for the west wall, but I'm not quite ready to spill the beans on that yet. Anyhoots, here are a few pics.
So these first ones are standing in the kitchen looking north. If you take a right, the stairs are there and to the left is a hallway and the bathroom.
And here it is now with the closet/bedroom walls gone.
That opens it up a little, doesn't it? So now we have to figure out a window configuration for that north wall. We know we want nice big windows, but we also want some that will open. (We are open window kind of people!) I think we will probably end up with a mix of fixed picture windows, transoms, and casement windows. WHO KNOWS! Send me all of your great ideas though…
And now here is another set of pics. These are taken facing north east kind of back towards the staircase. The door in this first one is open and blocking the stairs, but just imagine that it weren't, the stairs are right there.
And here is the current "during" view. If you look in the closet above, you can see those two white horizontal boards to use as a reference. The window is facing north, the stairs east.
Big changes, right? Good changes I hope…
Plans for this week are to get the rest of the ceiling and insulation ripped out and gutted, install some extra support in the ceiling, get some professionals out to help us decide on a heating system and windows, and who knows what else! Maybe we will get some of the windows and door ordered?! Don't know but it is starting to get exciting!!!

The Informed Medical Decisions Foundation (previously known as the Foundation for Informed Medical Decision Making) has been working for over two decades to advance evidence-based shared decision making through research, policy, clinical models and patient decision aids. We are a Boston-based organization with a network of medical editors and clinical advisors from some of the most prestigious medical institutions in the world.
Our Mission
To Inform and Amplify the Patient's Voice in Health Care Decisions
This means all patients should:
- Be supported and encouraged to participate in their health care decisions.
- Be fully informed about their care options using accurate, unbiased and understandable information.
- Have their personal goals and concerns honored.
We believe that the only way to ensure high quality medical decisions are made is for a fully informed patient to participate in a shared decision making process with his/her health care provider.
Our Focus
Developing High Quality Decision Aids
We collaborate with our partners to create decision support tools that are unbiased and evidence-based. These decision aids help facilitate the shared decision making process between the patient and the provider. They are created, evaluated and updated using the highest level of medical rigor, and are systematically reviewed by both physicians and patients in every step of the development process (PDF 725 kb) before they are released. They are designed not only to be accurate and unbiased, but to explain complex medical concepts in an easy-to-understand manner.
Funding Research and Shared Decision Making Demonstration Sites
By funding research projects and shared decision making demonstration sites, we foster a greater understanding of the many benefits of shared decision making and help providers learn how to best use this process in the clinical setting. We sponsor various grants, fellowships and other research initiatives that we believe will expand our current knowledge on shared decision making and will lead to improved health care delivery – for both the patient and the provider.
Advancing Our Mission through Outreach and Advocacy
Shared decision making implementation is receiving increased attention from health policy makers as providers, purchasers and regulators explore opportunities to integrate patient-centered concepts into standards of care for clinical practice. Through outreach and education we assist those interested in crafting and implementing shared decision making policies at both the state and federal level.

Usually one gets no impression that they're there for any purpose but to be vaporized. Someday we'll get. Missions where the aliens are attacking to capture this or destroy that, even base defence raids are only shadows of what I mean.
Actually that's one of the things I liked about X-Com was the aliens were actually conducting missions with varying effects... infiltration missions, base construction, base support, scouting, terror, resource harvesting, etc.

It wont be any surprise to you that about 10 minutes after I shot this I got absolutely drenched.
One thing you can say about the monsoon weather we are currently experiencing in the south is that it is producing some dramatic skies. Between the downpours I spent a fantastic hour at the edge of this field near my home in Kent attempting to combine the elements above with the colourful rows of lavender.
I have added a variant following Julians (joolsb) comment, lightening the sky on the left hand side.

Simply stunning Derek! Lavender fields are a joy in their own right, but with this sky, you've made them something else!! The light and detail in the foreground are brilliant. No doubt in giving you my UA today!!
Superb lighting, Derek, and strong lines pointing to the light.
Quote: One of your favorite locations Derek and you do it justice every time. Superb image of somewhere we wish to go.
It is a great location. If you have the chance to get there in the next week or so PM me. I would be happy to meet up and do another shoot there.
Quote: I think I'd trim about a third off the left of the image to balance things up a bit...
Nice work, though.
I agree that LH side looks a bit too dark Julian, which is odd because the tiff file definitely looks brighter. It was very dark under that cloud but I will do a mod.
Thanks for the C&C's everyone and particular thanks to Ann, Cor and Sarah for their UA's. They are gratefully received.
Many thanks for the GEA Laurel. Thats really brightened up my afternoon.
I have to agree with Julian here, the left weakens the composition slightly, but it's an image any of us would one wall space for. That smell brings back memories of old aunties and horse hair chairs.
Superb image, Derek. I like dark tones so I'm going for moody no 1.
Thanks again everyone. I have a few more to upload but I will try not to subject the site to 'lavender overload'.
Many thanks for the UA Yung. Very much appreciated my friend.
V2 for me please, excellent comp and all the elements coming together for a change this year .
The hole image just seems to be beautifully balanced.

Pride Lands
On the point of Pride Rock stood a lioness with two cubs, one male and the other female. She looked upon them and smiled. She loved them both equally, but she knew she would have to choose one of them to take her place someday. Imani had a special task for them today. "Come, my little ones." She said.
Hope looked up at her. "Coming, mom." She answered before following beside her.
Kahn followed beside his sister.
The Jungle
A purple lioness was walking around with her cub. She was looking for something to hunt and hadn't found much yet. Kalie looked at her son.
"I'm hungry, mother." Jay complained.
Kalie looked at him. "I know, I know. We'll find something." She said, trying to reassure the cub.
__________________________________________________ _________________________
Kiburi was walking around, remembering to keep an eye on her brother every now and then. She continued walking.
Tamu followed his sister around, but got distracted by a lizard and went after it.

The Hunt Year was...
Your online guide to the zaniness of the Tropic & Herald Hunts, and the Post Hunt! "...[a] fine website..." - Dave Barry, 10/31/2005 "...a member of the worldwide cult of Hunt followers..." - ...later on in the same sentence...
LEARN! Read about how it works, and then review a previous Hunt! FOLLOW ALONG! Come join the Facebook group or follow @tropichunt on Twitter! LAUGH! Read Dave's Blog! HUNT! Herald Hunt: TBD Post Hunt: TBD
8/17/2013 - NO HERALD HUNT IN 2013 Good morning, everyone. I'm here with some not-so-good news. There will not be a Herald Hunt in 2013, but possibly one in early 2014. You can read more here
6/5/2013 - THE 2013 POST HUNT REVIEW! Good evening, everyone! Six years and six Post Hunts are now over. The crowd has continued to grow and fill Freedom Plaza, and despite the collective brainpower between the eager masses, one person...one solitary person...beat everyone. This wasn't a wait of six years...this was a wait of 29 years. Never has one person won a Hunt. Sean Memon is the man. Everyone...we need to elect this man as our next President. Forget the fact that he's too young...if he can solve the Post Hunt by himself, he can easily cut through the political red tape and solve the problems that face this great country. He could get Congress to pass a law recognizing June 2nd as National Post Hunt Day in honor of his accoplishment. Congrats, Sean. Fantastic job! The 2013 Post Hunt continued to demonstrate just how popular this event is. Despite a rather warm sunny day where the temperature was warmer in D.C. than South Florida, the crowds came out to see how poorly good they could do. Or they came just to boo Dave, Tom and Gene. The main puzzles were generally challenging but not insurmountable. And the endgame clearly separated the serious Hunters from the casual ones. LET'S THANK THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HUNT! It takes months of preparation in order to prepare a Hunt. From the original ideas for the puzzles and development of the endgame to the gathering of sponsors and volunteers, many, many hours are poured in each one. So let's give thanks to everyone at the Washington Post who put their time and hard work into this fun day, as well as all of the EXCELLENT Hunt volunteers (YOU try hula hooping/coming up with questions to ask Pirates who only answer 'Arrrr' for three hours!). Special thanks to...(in no particular order) JILL DAVE KATHRYN GENE TOM JULIE ALL THE HUNT VOLUNTEERS (they know who they are...YOU are what keeps the Hunt moving along each hectic Hunt day!) AS WELL AS THE HUNT SPONSORS THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS Hey, second and third place teams...ONE GUY BEAT YOU. You better step up your game! (Like I should talk, being 0-26...) Now the, ON WITH THE REVIEW! THE REVIEW In my continuing tradition, I offer the following review/thoughts on this year's Hunt: The Location: I like Freedom Plaza, but I'm not a D.C. native. I like looking down the street and seeing the Capitol behind all the Hunters. There's just something special about the area...and it serves the Hunt well. Overall Hunt difficulty: On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being hardest (2011's Herald Hunt), and 1 being easiest (2004's Herald Hunt), this Hunt seemed to present a stiff challenge and ranks an 7 out of 10. The main puzzles were challenging, but not too bad. I think most people were able to solve them. The end game was tough, requiring extra clues, but that's not uncommon. I was already in the field and solving it, just not fast enough... NOTE: In order to allow people to "play at home", I have renamed some of the puzzle titles to better conceal the nature of the puzzle. Some of the titles from the Post's article would give hints on how to solve the puzzle...hints that were not available at the Hunt itself. The puzzle-by-puzzle analysis: The Pirate Dating Game:Tricky one, took us the longest to solve (and was the last one we solved). We initially got the wrong answer because we didn't use what we were supposed to the way it should have been used and got the wrong answer. Probably the hardest of the main puzzles. The Hard Candy: We missed this puzzle initially because we couldn't find the volunteers. So many people were crowded around them that we didn't see them. When we came back later, we found them easily. It took the two of us to solve the puzzle because my taste buds were off, but we understood what you needed to do with the candy after a few minutes. This was the third easiest of the Hunt. The Performance: This was the easiest of them all, but logistically led to unfortunate long lines to see it. Puzzles should always be visible to a wide audience, but the pacing of this puzzle made that a bit trickier since the program had to be given at the end. Despite the wait, we got the answer within a couple minutes of reviewing everything. The Gantry: This was the second easiest puzzle, but I had a problem with it, in that there should have been some reference to what the dummy represented in the magazine. Otherwise you needed Internet access if you didn't recall the details of the answer exactly. The Weird Walkers: This one was a neat offset puzzle (and the only one of the Hunt) that once you understood what you were watching, you just understood what you needed to do next. It was just weird (and fun) to watch a (very) brave Hunt volunteer walking with a giant naked butt attached to their back. Endgame: Holy wow! We were in on the end game and were on a path, but we didn't start where we should. Some of the references in the end game also were not entirely common knowledge (Obscure state mottos, for example.). This end game was tough, taking about 45 minutes to get winners and two additional clues. But people did solve it. And we had a volunteer still at their post at a Hunt puzzle location well after 3pm, so we thought we were on the right path. Also, SWAG was an answer in the crossword puzzle, too. That probably couldn't have been foreseen, however. HUNT RECOMMENDATIONS Last year I recommended the following: 1) SHRINK THE OVERALL HUNT AREA DOWN. Result: DONE! The Hunt was contained to a smaller area. 2) CLARIFY THE CAMERA REQUIREMENT. Result: N/A. No camera was required this year. 3) LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF 'OFFSET' PUZZLES. Result: SUCCESS! Just one this year! 4) HAVE AN OFFICIAL WACKY TEAM NAME CONTEST. Result: None. Owel. My recommendations for this year are: 1) SELL HUNT T-SHIRTS: Free Hunt t-shirts were nice for those completing the survey, but they went too quickly. I literally got one of the last few they had available. Hunt t-shirts have been a staple of the Hunts for years, so limiting their distribution was a risk, and I don't think it worked well, and I believe the Washington Post should have sold them. Maybe a happy medium would be to sell them on CafePress, the way they did the first year. Anyone who didn't get one can always order one before and/or after the Hunt. 2) GET MORE COPIES OF THE HUNT MAGAZINE: There weren't enough copies of the Hunt magazine at the Hunt. I tried Saturday to find a bulldog edition of the Sunday paper and struck out everywhere I tried. Everywhere. I never had that problem before. On Sunday, we picked up two copies of the Sunday paper and got our magazines, but we wanted to grab a couple more at the Hunt. Sadly, there weren't many copies to go around, and I only got one extra copy. 3) GET MORE FOOD TRUCKS! There were good ones this year...but get a few more for some extra variety and Hunters will be all set! WRAPPING THE REVIEW UP The 2013 Post Hunt I think was a more successful Hunt than most others, as the main puzzles had the right mixture of challenge to solvability ratio. Given time, people solved them. For the casual Hunter, this is good, as many folks get frustrated when they only solve one or two main puzzles. Solving them all makes people feel like they're "in the game" for the main prize. The end game puzzle managed to keep the serious Hunters going, if tripping them up a bit at the beginning, but once they were on the path, the solution came fairly quickly. And ONE GUY GOT IT ALL ALONE! Enjoy the 2013 Post Hunt wrapup, and let me know what you thought of this year's Hunt. And thanks again for your patience and waiting for me to get the review and the Hunt information up. Y'all are the best, you know that? Keep Hunting!
6/2/2013 - IT'S TIME FOR THE 2013 POST HUNT! GET READY TO LOSE...SPECTACULARLY! For the sixth time, the Post Hunt returns to the streets of Washington D.C. This continues to prove that the bureaucrats here have yet to understand and appreciate the goodwill it fosters and recognize that it could solve the political gridlock this country constantly faces...if the Post would be allowed to corral all of Congress into a large pen and make the Hunters count how many Capitol Hill'rs and staff are in that space together. Kinda like guessing how many jelly beans in a jar type thing, except the jelly beans move and expel lots of hot air. Okay, sorry, got distracted. It's time to get down to business... YOUR LAST (UN)OFFICIAL POST HUNT WEATHER HOUR-BY-HOUR FORECAST As of 8:11am this morning, it looks like the heat has been beaten back a bit, but the rain chance has grown.

Site updates will not start until tomorrow evening. I will be traveling right after the Hunt ends.
6/1/2013 - TOMORROW IS THE 2013 POST HUNT! MEGA UPDATE TIME! Good morning, everyone! I'm in D.C. The Hunt section is out now (see below). It's time to get your game face on, time for the super-spectacular mega-update of them all. Get ready to stuff your brain full of...stuff? I've helped by breaking it down into sections... 1. GET PREPARED! GETTING THE HUNT EDITION OF THE SUNDAY MAGAZINE EARLY The magazine is available online here . BUY YOUR "BULLDOG" EDITION TODAY! Yes, you can get the Hunt magazine online, but don't forget to purchase your "Bulldog" edition (first edition) of Sunday's paper today! Your financial support of the Post helps keep the Hunt alive! YOUR POST HUNT WEATHER UPDATE! Hot and partly cloudy! BRING YOUR SUNBLOCK!

There's LOTS of good information here at the Tropic/Herald/Post Hunt Archives, covering each and every Hunt that has ever been held. Click through the year links on the left and see more details on what Dave, Tom and Gene have come up with through the years. You can also click through 'Exploring Previous Hunts' links on the Washington Post's Post Hunt page to get their reviews of how their Hunts worked in the past, too. DID YOU MISS THE HUNT VIDEO CHAT YESTERDAY? They posted it on Youtube, so go watch it, learn some stuff and laugh along the way. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST ONE MODERN CELL PHONE You WILL need a cell phone that can text and likely take photos too. Bring one. Or lose. (You'll likely lose anyway, but at least you're not writing youself off if you don't have at least one available among your team members.) WHAT TO BRING Here's our recommendations on what you should bring: - You and your Hunt team - Cell phone (WITH TEXTING and PHOTO CAPABILTIES)! - Notepad - A vague sense of reality (to determine which clues are real and which are out to get you) - A clear voice to boo Dave, Tom and Gene with (bring cough drops or drink some tea with honey beforehand if needed). - Pen and pencils and erasers - A backpack or some type of bag to carry your stuff around in. - A hat (sun, folks, sun!) - SUNSCREEN! - Money (for getting to/parking/eating/whatever you need to buy during the Hunt...especially Post Hunt t-shirts!) 2. GETTING TO THE HUNT The Hunt begins at noon at Freedom Plaza, on Pennsylvania Avenue NW near 14th Street NW in downtown Washington. While there IS parking available in the area, your best bet is likely taking the Metro. The Federal Triangle station is less than two blocks from Freedom Plaza and the Metro Center and McPherson Square stations are each nearby as well. TRACK MAINTENANCE TOMORROW!! There is track work this weekend on the Shady Grove leg of the Red Line! Plan accordingly! 3. DURING THE HUNT Try to solve all the main puzzles and win the Hunt! And don't forget to boo Dave, Tom and Gene afterward as they explain how things worked. Also... TWEET, TWEET, TWEET! The Post Hunt folks should be tweeting from @posthunt, so make sure you follow them! Also follow me, too, to get other announcements and see how I'm doing. (I will not be giving answers or hints out as I solve puzzles, sorry!) Don't forget to use the #posthunt hashtag for your own tweets! And please be careful with what you tweet, especially photos. Remember, your pic of a puzzle could save a team the trouble of having to go to a puzzle site...so consider your photos carefully! BUY YOUR HUNT T-SHIRT! C'mon, folks. Get a piece of Hunt history, and keep the Hunt alive at the same time. Wear your shirt proudly afterwards and explain to your confused friends what the Hunt is about. And get them to come to the next one! THE ANNUAL HUNT MEET'N'GREET! Want to find me at the Hunt? Please do! I will be wearing a 2008 Post Hunt t-shirt. My red hair also helps me stand out...so feel free and say 'hi' if you see me! 4. CHECK BACK HERE DURING THE WEEK NEXT WEEK I'm flying home a few hours after the Hunt ends, and updates will be posted early next week, so keep checking back for photos, explanations and more! Including my annual review! I WANT YOUR PHOTOS! I WANT YOUR VIDEOS! I WANT YOUR HUNT STORIES! Got pictures? Got video? Got stories about your Hunt experience? PLEASE email me if you'd like to contribute them to the Archives! I'd be eternally grateful, as well as the other visitors to the site!

IF you are inclined, you can click the donation button on this page. Choose your own amount...it would be much appreciated! (Doing so will not increase your chances of winning the Hunt, but may make you feel are warm and fuzzy inside like it does me!) 5. MISC. TIPS ANNUAL FROM-TOWNER TIPS - As someone from Miami, you can never be too prepared for the weather. Wear a rain poncho throughout the Hunt. You'll be ready at a moment's notice in case it does rain. And you DO want to be ready at a moment's notice, right? - Need another good Hunt overview? Go here! - Beer and wine will help your thought processes. Lots and lots of alcohol before the Hunt and during the Hunt will keep you on your toes... (Please drink responsibly!) - The Post Hunt is actually being held at the Mall outside the Air and Space museum. Really. No, really, you know the place. Go there and wait. The silly out-of-towners won't even show up! - The winners have already been determined for the Hunt two days ago. Weren't told you won? Sorry. You don't need to show up. Everyone will just look at you like the loser you are. (There's a grain of truth in there somewhere...) (As usual, my teammates are forbidden from following these tips.) That's all for now...keep checking back for more updates. And I'll see you tomorrow at the Hunt!
5/30/2013 - POST HUNT SITE UPDATES! UPDATED TIME AND LINK TO CHAT! Good evening, everyone! THE POST HUNT SITE HAS BEEN UPDATED! Go take a look. There's even a quiz!

You can find the chat here.They also say it's going to be at 11am, not 1pm! Post your questions in advance on The Style Blog and the three of them will take their crack at them Friday morning.

Have your teams ready, make sure everyone knows the drill about where to go (Miami) and when to be there (Monday) and you'll be all set! Tomorrow at 1pm (Eastern) Dave, Tom and Gene will be doing a video chat related to the Post Hunt. The text chats to date have been hilarious, so I can only imagine that the video chat will be even better. You should be able to find the chat listed here tomorrow. Drop on by for fun and mayhem...and ask a question or two. Especially about whether ketchup needs to be refrigerated or not. More updates tomorrow, and the Mega Update is coming!

We're just cinco días (hey, I'm from Miami, shoot me...NO! WAIT! DON'T SHOOT!) away from the Post Hunt! Here are a couple slices of fried gold for you to chew on... SURPRISE! YOU WILL NEED A CELL PHONE FOR THE HUNT! Like this is a shock: you will need to have a modern cell phone with you at the Hunt so that you can text and take pictures, post on Facebook, update Twitter, check in on Foursquare, pin things on Pint Rest...or P Interest or whatever it's called. I may have made some of the previous stuff up. But you will need a cell phone if you want to win. Make sure it's got SOME capabilities to it. THIS 2013 PRE-POST HUNT CHAT! NOW WITH VIDEO! On Friday, you can participate in the 2013 pre-Post Hunt chat featuring Dave, Tom and Gene! It's going to he a HangOut (video chat), too! I'll post a link to it as soon as I have one. YOUR (UN)OFFICIAL POST HUNT WEATHER FORECAST! Your updated (un)Official Post Hunt Weather Forecast for Sunday, June 2nd, 2013 is: High of 89 with a 20% chance of rain! What the heck, D.C.?

5/26/2013 - JUST A MEASILY 0111 DAYS UNTIL THE POST HUNT! Good evening, everyone! I hope you've been having a wonderful holiday weekend. Please make sure to take a moment to reflect on the meaning of tomorrow's holiday and give your respects to those honored veterans to paid the ultimate sacrifice to our country. So, what's with the 111 days until the Hunt? Isn't it next week? OF COURSE IT IS! Instead of Roman numerals, I threw some binary at you. Gotta change it up and throw you a curveball once in awhile...because the mother of all curveballs will be heading your way at next Sunday's Post Hunt! There will be more updates as the week goes. I can't confirm at this time, but keep an ear out for one of Gene's chats to be about the Hunt. See y'all sometime tomorrow!
5/19/2013 - TWO WEEKS UNTIL MAYHEM! WHO'S RESPONSIBLE? Good morning, everyone! We're two weeks away from the 2013 Post Hunt! You've made your plans to get down to Freedom Plaza on June 2nd, right? After all, this is one of the most fun and life-altering events you can ever participate in. If you haven't signed up yet, WHY THE HECK NOT?!?! What do you need, some type of incentive...a prize, perhaps...to entice you to join the festivities? Well, SHOULD you come down and join in the foray, you'll have your chance to win one of these... 1st Place: $2000 2nd Place: $500 3rd Place: $500 So you're saying to yourself, "Okay, Andy...Mister 'tropichunt.com guy™'...you've got my interest. they're not just giving away that money easily. Can I do this by myself?" Sure you can! However, it will be more challenging. And not as fun. Get some other friends together...and try to get someone who hasn't been to the Hunt before, too...and plan on getting down to Freedom Plaza in two weeks. "So, who do I have to think for all of this?" Besides Gene Weingarten, Tom Shroder, Dave Barry and the fine folks at the Washington Post who help craft this spectacular event, you really should thank the following sponsors both before, during and after the Hunt: Arena Stage Cars2Go Cars.com Mattress Warehouse National Geographic Museum You'll notice these sponsors around the Hunt, so definitely give them your thanks at the Hunt, and give them some business afterwards. More info coming soon! Keep checking back!
5/5/2013 - THE SIXTH ANNUAL POST HUNT RETURNS! Hello, everyone! Happy Cinco de Mayo! Long time no talk! So let's catch up, shall we? When we last discussed Hunt things, the Herald Hunt had just ended and there were some winners and LOTS of losers. But time has allowed those wounds to heal, and we must refocus our collective efforts on competing in the... 2013 Post Hunt! In only IV short weeks we'll be innundated with the wackiness that only Tom, Dave and Gene's brains can come up with. For example, they've already teased us with this puzzle: Try it out and come up with your answer. When you're stumped (or need to verify your answer), go here to see the answer. And read Tom's response to how quickly it was solved. So let's get some important details out of the way: What: The 2013 Post Hunt When: Sunday, June 2, 2013 from 12:00pm-4:00pm (approx. end time) Where: Freedom Plaza Is it free?: YES! Is it fun?: YES! Do I need to register or have a team?: NO! NO! Will I lose but have a great time doing it?: Almost certainly! I'll have more updates as we get closer to the Hunt, so keep checking here, Facebook and Twitter.
12/2/2012 - THE 2012 HERALD HUNT REVIEW! Good evening, everyone! What to say, what to say...well, there's lots to say about the 2012 Herald Hunt! A winning speed record was broken, but it was a challenging Hunt, partly due to some logistics. It still ranks amongst the easiest (as all the Coconut Grove Hunts tend to do...). You all were fantastic in coming out and showing your support and love for going insane for the 20th time in Miami, and it showed. Before we get to my analysys, let me share two of my favorite tweets from yesterday with you, both from the same person, Carlos Sanchez: Later, after Dave and Tom explained the Hunt: So, let's get on with my analysis in my annual Herald Hunt wrap-up! Last year, the 2011 Herald Hunt end-game dragged on for quite some time (almost an hour), making it likely the longest Hunts ever. The 2012 Herald Hunt was over much more quickly; the winning team solved the Hunt and did what they needed to do to win 15 minutes BEFORE the final clue was given! Since I was not competing, I was able to sit back more relaxed as I worked on the puzzles, still trying to solve them, Don't get me wrong, I did attempt the end-game to an extent. My observations of the end-game come from both my participation as well as discussions with other players. Before I get into the puzzle-by-puzzle and end-game analysis, let's do a few things first: CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS! 1st place: Fiscal Cliff Hangers 2nd place: 2008 Champs 3rd place: 3-Peaters I need to use all capital letters here to emphasize an important point: ALL THREE TEAMS WERE LOCALS! ONE EVEN SOLVED IT 15 MINUTES BEFORE THE FINAL CLUE! TAKE THAT, OUT-OF-TOWNERS! YOU'VE BEEN DENIED FIVE YEARS IN A ROW! NEENER! (Just kidding, out-of-towners, we love you! Really!) You all did a great job, and you had quite a few other teams on your tails as well. You had to think fast and act quickly, and you did both and beat out many other very qualified teams. Kudos to all of you! (And if you have an extra stateroom that you'd like to share...hey, um, let me know!) SPECIAL THANKS I (well, not just me, but you, too!) need to thank the following people from the Miami Herald (in no particular order): ELAINE (Happy Birthday again, Elaine!) SILVIA JUDI DAVE TOM AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO PUT ALL THE TIME, HARD WORK, COORDINATION AND CREATIVITY INTO THE HUNT! AND, OF COURSE, A GREAT BIG THANK YOU, TO THE HUNT VOLUNTEERS! :) FOOD TRUCKS! YUM! This is the second year that we've had food trucks, and the food was spectacular! I have no problem with them becoming a regular at the Hunt... A BIG THANK YOU HERALD HUNT SPONSORS! A HUGE thank you to Carnival Cruise Lines! Carnival was fantastic, and I heard nothing but positive comments about their sponsorship of the Herald Hunt. From the Hunt stage to the free water to the photo booths to the wrist bands to the prizes (Wow, those were some great prizes!), they such a great job that I wish they would sponsor every year. They really made things fun for everyone, young and old, whether you had a chance in the Hunt or not. Also a very big thank you to the other sponsors of the Herald Hunt as well! The sponsors are the reason the Hunt is able to come back each time. Without their financial support, the Hunt can not continue. They're as loyal to the Hunt as you are each year, so show them your appreciation by giving them your business! THAT RED HEAD GUY ON THE MAP Thanks Otis and Barbara Sweat and the Herald enough for continuing to put me next to Tom, Dave and Elaine! Also, a very warmfelt thanks to the Herald for the wonderful story they did on me before the Hunt. You have the same passion that I do for the Hunt. Making sure that you know about it so that you can plan on going and getting friends to join you is important to me. I want you to come to the Hunt, I want you to have a chance at winning, I want you to have fun...so thank you to EVERYONE for showing your enthusiasm and excitement for the Hunt, as that's what makes me do what I do for you! THE FIRST SATURDAY HUNT DATE AND THE WEATHER We were a week outside of Thanksgiving, so shopping (and eating) were out of the way, and the Saturday date made the Hunt more accessible to everyone. I certainly appreciated not having to go to work the day after the Hunt so that I could decompress and write up my thoughts. The weather was picture perfect once the brief rain sprinkles before the Hunt started left. The breeze was nice as it took some of the edge off the sunny day. HUNT NEWS STORIES - The Miami Herald has its wrap up. More photos and a video are also available on the same page. - Dave Barry's blog has some of his own perspectives on the Hunt THE 2012 HUNT DETAILS ARE UP! Your 2012 Herald Hunt details are up now! THE HUNT PUZZLE BREAKDOWN/REVIEW In my continuing tradition, I offer the following review/thoughts on the 2012 Herald Hunt: - VENUE: I love Coconut Grove as the location for the Hunt. It's not too small and not too large. Peacock Park is spacious enough for not just the Hunt crowd, but also food trucks, one of the Hunt puzzles and more. The rest of the Grove offered plenty of shade, places to eat/drink, the Barnacle...it's just a perfect setting. You didn't even have to cross any streets while you were running around trying to solve the Hunt. Very accessible and friendly area for the Hunt overall. - DIFFICULTY: Easy to slightly challenging, but mostly because of two of the main puzzles (see below) and not the end-game. - MY PUZZLE-BY-PUZZLE ANALYSIS: THE SIGNPOST PUZZLE: The most frustrating puzzle of the Hunt, just due to the scale of the puzzle combined with the amount of people trying to solve it at the same time. I went there early on, no one was moving at the start of the puzzle, you couldn't navigate through the maze with everyone there...so I vowed to come back later. I did, and while it was easier to get through, I'd heard that some of the signposts had been moved slightly.(not that it affected the answer, but I suppose for clarity). Even then it took a couple pass throughs to get the correct answer. I recommend that a similar type puzzle needs to be in a larger area so it can be spread out more. THE ART BASEL PUZZLE: Second most frustrating puzzle of the Hunt. I've been reviewing discussions that others have had regarding this puzzle, and I see both sides of the argument that the answer could be 9 or 15. However, adding to the mix is that somehow...somehow...there were at least two different handouts for this puzzle that had very slightly different wording (one word difference..one had 'to' and the other had 'with' in a certain sentence). So those people who thought that they had to count EVERYTHING that appeared (trying to avoid spoilers here) were thrown off for a bit. I was able to meet up with Tom during the Hunt and tweeted about it: The challenge here is that you had the actor (how did he keep a straight face throughout the entire day?!) talking about the "finality, termination, endings and stopping points". Taking that intrepretation, combined with "STOP." in large letters at the top of the handout, you'd get one answer. However, that didn't give you the correct answer; you needed to count ones that were not termination or stopping points. I view this puzzle answer as ambiguous and misleading. It would have been better had the obvious incorrect answer that I'm referring to (and which Dave told everyone at the Hunt was wrong, right before the final clue announcement) had NOT been a clue on the clue pages. That would have told everyone that they were wrong and they could have gotten the correct answer. My team was prepared with both answers, so once we were told that one of them was wrong, we knew the other one was correct. But it still messed up a lot of people, and ruined the end-game for some. THE CRUISE SHIP COMEDIANS PUZZLE: Easiest puzzle of the Hunt. And it included free punch on a nice day in the park. DANCE LESSONS PUZZLE: One of the more fun puzzles of the Hunt. You had a very spirited Hunt volunteer dancing silly to Psy's "Gangnam Style".You followed the named moves that they provided and learned what you needed to do to solve the puzzle. Fun, easy, entertaining... ...and my team still got it wrong. THE SHIPS PUZZLE: Second easiest puzzle at the Hunt, and not considered the easiest because you had to walk the farthest to get to it. But it was on the beautiful grounds of the Barnacle. You had everything you needed in the one spot, provided that you could see what was at the end of the dock. I did hear some complaints that people couldn't tell what was next to the dice. THE FINAL PUZZLE: This was an easy end-game. If you had all the correct clues, the final clue told you what you needed to look at in the final clue to get your next instructions. From there, Hunters only had to go to one location and deciper the instructions and then head back to the main stage area. One team figured it out early without needing the final clue. While my hats are off to them for figuring it out, it could have been more competitive for everyone if message at the telephone number that Hunters dialed didn't go active until 3:00pm. I think that would have made for a much more interesting finale. MY RECOMMENDATIONS... I'm changing the style of the recommendations this year. Here we go: * Please bring back Tropic Magazine, even if it's only for the Hunt weekend. There are so many talented writers and people in South Florida that you have more than enough content to fill a special edition of the magazine, and make the Herald Hunt more like the Tropic Hunts of old. Your readers and Hunters alike would appreciate it... * Please consider selling small posters of Otis Sweat's great work with the Hunt maps! People would buy 'em! * Go back to the stylized t-shirt designs that don't feature Tom and Dave on them. Don't get me wrong, we love Tom and Dave (and Otis' drawings of them!), but the t-shirt designs that don't feature their faces are more popular with the crowd. * Keep Carnival as a sponsor! IN CONCLUSION Last but NOT least, I continue to thank YOU, my fellow Hunt fanatics! You come here to my site, you follow me on Twitter, you join the fun on Facebook, all because of your love of the Hunt. This year I had more people than ever come up and say 'hi', let me know how they enjoyed the article about me from the other week, ask me about why I'm spying on a sunbathing alligator with binoculars and more. You are the best, and the Hunt spirit lives on because of YOU! While I work on this site, we all need to work to ensure that we keep the Hunts going in the future! Please, do everything you can to make that a reality: write a letter to the Herald editors thanking them, tell the sponsors thank you AND give them business if you can, and buy your Hunt shirts each year! This level of strong interest contributes to making the Hunt an ongoing community event, and keeps us having fun each year after year. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR ANOTHER FANTASTIC HUNT!
12/1/2012 - IT'S TIME FOR THE 2012 HERALD HUNT! Happy Hunt Day, everyone! Just keepin' it simple to remind you to get down to the Grove early, get some food at the food trucks and find a nice spot to wait for the first clue at noon. I wish everyone the best of luck...and let's be safe out there, okay?
However, in 2001, the Hunt made a triumphant return (sans Tropic Magazine) as the Herald Hunt! And the Herald has been keeping the tradition alive by presenting new Hunts every year since 2001! Many thanks to everyone at the Herald who have reaffirmed their commitment to keeping the Hunt alive, and to Tom Shroder, who is now a senior editor at the Washington Post, but continues to make time to work with Dave on this wonderful event!
I have been through all of the Tropic/Herald Hunts, with the exception of the one you did from your own living room (what I call the 'non' hunt).
I am merely a fan of the Tropic/Herald Hunt. While I have had some experience setting up scavenger hunts and my own version of the Tropic Hunt, I do not have the resources available to assist others who are organizing their own similar hunts. I genuinely would like to help, but there are many other pages on the 'net to look up this sort of information. Right now my focus is to maintain this online 'museum' dedicated to the Tropic/Herald Hunts, from which you may use the resources here to create ideas of your own.
Click on a year below for more information or pictures.
Please Contribute to the Archives! I hope to archive all the previous hunts with these web pages. If you have pictures or puzzles (or stuff that was handed out at some puzzles) that I do not show here, please let me know!

Placer County is looking for volunteers to serve on planning teams being organized to help the county update its long-range community plan for North Lake Tahoe.
Four planning teams with seven to nine members each are being established to help the county develop a zoning ordinance and design guidelines for each of four planning areas to be included in the updated community plan:
"We are looking for community members with diverse backgrounds and interests to help shape the character of their communities," said 5th District Supervisor Jennifer Montgomery. "I strongly encourage people to apply, because this is an opportunity that comes along only every 20 years."
Supervisor Montgomery represents North Lake Tahoe on the Placer County Board of Supervisors.
Generally, the county will give priority in selecting planning team members to applicants who have active Tahoe Basin businesses located in Placer County or are registered to vote and have their primary residences in Tahoe Basin communities within Placer County.
However, Placer County strongly encourages people who own second homes in Tahoe Basin communities within Placer County to apply if they are interested in serving on planning teams. Their applications will be considered if openings remain after applications from business owners and year-round residents are reviewed.
Planning team members must be willing to donate a minimum of 8 to 10 hours bi-monthly. Only two absences from planning team meetings will be allowed in a six-month period.
To be considered, applications must be received or postmarked by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 31.
Placer County currently has nine community plans for the Tahoe Basin. Most are joint planning documents developed about 20 years ago by the county and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA).
TRPA is in the process of updating its regional plan, and all community plans within the Tahoe Basin must be consistent with the regional plan.
Through its update process, Placer County intends to consolidate the nine plans into a single policy document with the four planning areas. Each planning area will have its own distinct zoning ordinance and community-specific design guideline standards.
The county's update process involves three agencies: the Placer County Community Development Resource Agency, Placer County Redevelopment Agency and TRPA.
Application forms are available online to be downloaded or filled out and submitted electronically. To apply for a position on one of the four teams, click on the following link: Tahoe Basin Community Plan Update Team, and choose of of the four team options. People who choose not to submit applications electronically can mail them to the Planning Services Division, 3091 County Center Drive, Suite 140, Auburn, CA 95603.

A Decade Under the Influence
Add A Decade Under the Influence to Queue
Add A Decade Under the Influence to top of Queue
In the late '60s, American culture experienced a period of change as the youth movement challenged conventional attitudes about politics, sex, drugs, and gender issues, while the advancement of the Vietnam War found many citizens questioning the actions and wisdom of their government for the first time. As American attitudes continued to evolve, so did the American film industry; as costly big-budget blockbusters nearly brought the major studios to the brink of collapse, smaller and more personal films such as Bonnie and Clyde, Easy Rider, and Five Easy Pieces demonstrated there was a ready audience for bold and challenging entertainment. As the '60s faded into the 1970s, American cinema moved into an exciting period of creativity and stylistic innovation, which led to such landmark films as The Godfather, MASH, The Last Picture Show, Shampoo, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Chinatown, and Taxi Driver, and new freedom for directors and screenwriters. Ironically, however, it was another pair of big-budget blockbusters directed by students of the new wave of filmmaking -- Jaws and Star Wars -- which brought the studios back to power and put an end to Hollywood's flirtation with offbeat creativity. A Decade Under the Influence is a documentary which explores the rise and fall of new American filmmaking in the 1970s, and features interviews with many of the key directors, screenwriters, and actors whose work typified the movement, including Francis Ford Coppola, Robert Altman, Martin Scorsese, Paul Schrader, Roger Corman, Dennis Hopper, Jon Voight, and Julie Christie. A Decade Under the Influence received its world premier at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival, and an expanded version of the film was later shown on the premium cable outlet The Independent Film Channel; the documentary was the final work of co-director Ted Demme, who died shortly before the film was completed. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Investigative reporter Steve Everett (Clint Eastwood) has just relocated to the west coast after getting fired from the New York Times. Thanks to his old friend, Alan Mann (James Woods), the editor-in-chief of
The Oakland Tribune
, Everett still has a job, but that's hardly the end of his problems. An alcoholic and a womanizer, he's been sober for two months and his marriage to Barbara (Diane Venora) is in as bad a shape as his car. Everett has also earned the hatred of city editor Bob Findley (Denis Leary), and not without reason -- Everett has been sleeping with his wife. One day, when another reporter dies in an automobile accident, Findley asks Everett to take over her assignment -- the final interview of condemned murderer Frank Beachum (Isaiah Washington). Everett researches the case before the interview, and finds Beachum was convicted of a robbery and homicide in an Oakland convenience store. But the reporter finds several discrepancies in the story, and a visit to death row only confirms Everett's suspicions that Beachum was not the killer. The reporter begins a hurried search for information that will stay the execution. Plagued by his inner demons, the reporter has 12 hours left to save the life of a man he knows is innocent. ~ Ron Wells, Rovi

Add Lolita to Queue
Adapted from the novel by Vladimir Nabokov (previously filmed by Stanley Kubrick in 1962), Lolita stars Jeremy Irons as Humbert Humbert, a college literature professor. In early adolescence, Humbert fell hopelessly and tragically in love with a girl his own age, and, as he grew into adulthood, he never lost his obsession with "nymphets," teenagers who walk a fine line between being a girl and a woman. While looking for a place to live after securing a new teaching position, he meets Charlotte Haze (Melanie Griffith), a pretentious and annoying woman who seems desperately lonely and is obviously attracted to Humbert. Humbert pays her little mind until he meets her 13-year-old daughter Lolita (Dominique Swain), the image of the girl that Humbert once loved. Humbert moves into the Haze home as a boarder and eventually marries Charlotte in order to be closer to Lolita. When Charlotte finds out about Humbert's attraction to her daughter, she flees the house in a rage, only to be killed in an auto accident. Without telling Lolita of her mother's fate, Humbert takes her on a cross-country auto trip, where their relationship begins to move beyond the traditional boundaries of stepfather and step-daughter. Lolita proved to be controversial in the United States due to its clear (if not explicit) depiction of sex between a middle-aged man and an underaged girl; no major studio was willing to release it in America, and it finally had its U.S. premiere on the Showtime cable network. This version, directed by Adrian Lyne, was publicized as being more faithful to Nabokov's book than Stanley Kubrick's adaptation (which was scripted by Nabokov himself); however, it manages to be closer to the letter of the novel without capturing its spirit and tone as well as Kubrick did. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Ambitious young investment banker Jacob Moore (Shia LaBeouf) discovers that greed is still the name of the game when he forges a fragile alliance with onetime Wall Street hotshot Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) shortly after Gekko is released from prison. Having served eight years for securities fraud, money laundering, and racketeering, Gekko emerges from prison to find that his daughter, Winnie (Carey Mulligan), prefers to remain estranged, and that his former Wall Street cohorts are still raking in the cash. Flash-forward to 2008, and Winnie is dating a proprietary trader named Jake Moore (LaBeouf), who expresses a passion for green energy while working for his mentor Louis Zabel (Frank Langella), of Keller Zabel Investments. Despite heading up one of the most prominent investment firms in the country, Louis Zabel is forced to personally fight for the future of Keller Zabel before the Federal Reserve after the company's stock takes a hit due to persistent rumors that it's being dragged down by debt. Denied a bailout from the government, Keller Zabel soon falls victim to a hostile takeover lead by powerful investment bank partner Bretton James (Josh Brolin), of Churchill Schwartz. His job on the line and his mentor out of the picture, Jake discovers that Gordon Gekko is out promoting his new book "Is Greed Good?" and decides to attend a lecture being given by the author at Fordham University. According to Gekko, greed is now sanctioned by the government, and the U.S. economy is on the verge of collapse as a direct result of leveraged debt and wild conjecture. When Jake goes behind Winnie's back to try and repair her relationship with her father, Gekko reveals his compelling theories on the likely reasons for Zabel's downfall. Later, as Jake begins plotting to avenge his mentor, Gekko starts to reveal his true colors. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Beth Cappadora (Michelle Pfeiffer), a photographer, is married to Pat (Treat Williams), a restaurateur, and they would seem to have a perfect life in Madison, Wisconsin. In 1988, they have three small children that Beth takes along to her high school reunion in Chicago. While checking in at a crowded hotel lobby, her middle child, three-year-old Ben, disappears. Despite a frantic search and much media coverage, the boy is not found, and Beth soon falls apart. Nine years later, the family has only barely recovered when they move to Chicago so Pat can open a restaurant with his father. A few months later, a neighborhood boy named Sam Karras (Ryan Merriman) knocks on the door, asking to mow the lawn. Beth notices the boy's appearance exactly matches a time-elapsed photo of Ben constructed by the police; she takes pictures of the boy and contacts both her husband and police detective Candy Bliss (Whoopi Goldberg). School fingerprints of Ben and Sam match, and the boy is taken to foster care while Candy and Beth confront the father, George (John Kapelos). It seems Ben was abducted by an unbalanced woman who was Beth's high school classmate; the boy was eventually adopted by George when he married "Sam's" new mother, and she later committed suicide, leaving no one to blame. Having grown up happily with George, Sam has no memories of his real parents. Now Beth and Pat must find a way to bond with Sam, and heal older brother Vincent (Jonathan Jackson), who was supposed to be watching Ben at the time he disappeared, and has been suffering from guilt ever since. ~ Ron Wells, Rovi

As narcotics trafficking exploded in the 1980s, it was realized that money laundering had become a threat to the entire integrity of the financial system. The international trend to regard money laundering as a serious threat to the stability of democracy and the rule of law found expression in the adoption of the 1988 United Nations Drugs Convention.
Gradually, the international community diverged from its traditional, narrow approach whereby only the laundering of drug proceeds was considered a threat. In order to combat money laundering efficiently, it soon became clear that criminal law was not sufficient and that it was necessary for banks and other financial institutions to co-operate with law enforcement agencies.
The banking community is now obliged to report suspicious transactions, which they often regard as going beyond their role as bankers. The issue of bank secrecy has played an important role in the discussion between law enforcement agencies and the banking community. Both the Council of Europe Convention on Laundering Search, Seizure and Confiscation of the Proceeds from Crime and the UN Drugs Convention require that bank secrecy should not be an obstacle to international co-operation. At the national level the seizure of bank records should not be hindered by bank secrecy.

Forest Stillwell
Forest Stillwell, known as "Cuds" and "Rev. Ply," 79, of Carlton, Minn., died Thursday, Jan. 3, 2013, in St. Luke's Hospital, Duluth, Minn. He was born Jan. 2, 1934, in Cloquet, Minn., the son of Forest and Evie Stillwell. Forest was a 1954 graduate of Cloquet High School and later served in the U.S. Air Force. As a child he was a member of Boy Scouts and attended many camps and activities. On June 11, 1966, Forest married Ingeborg Hertel. Forest was the owner/operator of the Kings and Queens Salon at the Greysolon in Duluth, but when he wasn't working he loved to be outside working on his many rock and flower gardens. One of Forest's greatest passions was restoring old Mopar cars, and that passion followed through as he detailed cars at Carlton Motorwerks for many years. Forest loved spending time with his family at the cabin, going on long car trips all over the country, and eating out, especially at a good German restaurant.
