United Notebook
Fall Out Boy rocked last Friday night—rocked the Black-and-Red, that is. The popular rock band played at D.C.'s 9:30 Club on May 31 and was presented with personalized, authentic D.C. United jerseys after the show.
Fall Out Boy isn't the first rock band to go Black-and-Red, though. Back in February, United presented Imagine Dragons with authentic jerseys when they played the Fillmore.
D.C. United would like to send a special thanks to Fall Out Boy and the 9:30 club for their support of the Black-and-Red.
United Builds brought ten D.C. United staff members, representing six different departments, to serve lunch today in an effort to assist So Others Might Eat. The staff members prepared plates, set tables, ran beverage service and staffed the dish room throughout three different shifts. SOME served over 230 homeless individuals lunch today and serves over 240,000 meals in the dining room alone, annually.
UPDATE: This pack is now closed for the June 15 match.
D.C. United invites you to have a beer on us!
For one low price of $44.00, you receive 2 tickets and 2 complimentary beers. This pack is available on Saturday, June 15 and Saturday July 27, buy now, while supplies last!
The Richmond Kickers took on the Harrisburg City Islanders Saturday, May 24th, and D.C. United's own Andrew Dykstra and Michael Seaton stole the show. Dykstra kept a clean sheet with a stellar nine-save performance, while Seaton notched his second USL PRO goal with a 66th minute finish. Seaton's goal put the Kickers ahead 2-0.
Ahead of Tuesday's match up, it seems the Kickers are, as United was, affected by injuries. But the USL PRO side found a way to beat the odds and extend its unbeaten streak to eight games. Dykstra also registered his third shutout of the season. D.C. United faces its USL PRO affiliate Richmond Kickers Tuesday, May 28 at 7 p.m. ET at Richmond City Stadium.
RFK was recently named 15 out of 18 on Travel and Leisure's list of "America's Best Stadium Food." The magazine explains that you can get "hot dogs and nachos" here, but the food at RFK standouts because of the Latin and South American options. Specially mentioned was Logan's Sausage, known for its El Salvadorian sausage. Additionally, a variety of food trucks are available in Lot 8 prior to home games. The delicious line up usually includes spiedies at Bada Bing, pizza at DC Slices and po'boys at Willie's Po'Boy.
On Saturday, D.C. United takes hosts the Portland Timbers at 7:00 p.m. ET. If you've got three friends, you can come for free!
Visit Ticketmaster.com for more details, and we'll see you Saturday at RFK.
D.C. United goalkeeper Bill Hamid has been named to Major League Soccer Team of the Week for Week 12. Hamid came up big on key plays against Sporting Kansas City on Sunday night. A memorable save and crucial stop came in the 39th minute when Hamid denied Graham Zusi from inside the penalty box. Hamid made another point blank save in the 77th minute, denying Sporting Kansas City the go ahead goal.
This marks Hamid's third MLS honor this season. The young goalkeeper won Save of the Week in Week 1, Player of the Week in Week 3 and can now add Team of the Week for Week 12. Hamid was also selected to EA Sports FIFA 13 Ultimate team of the Week after his stellar performance against the New York Red Bulls on March 16th. The future is bright for the 22-year-old net minder who will join the United States Men's National Team on May 30th ahead of the June 2nd friendly against Germany at RFK.
What are your thoughts on the addition of New York City FC to MLS? D.C. United and the New York Red Bulls have a storied rivalry built up. Will the 18-year long contention between the two sides grow or perhaps simmer down? Is it possible that the inclusion of another New York team will spark a new and more heated contest?
Tweet at @dcunited using #NYCFC and tell us your thoughts! We'll randomly select a few to be featured in a fan-driven Tweet Tweet article in our United Notebook blog.

Through its 18th season, Major League Soccer has had nine expansion years. With the announcement of New York City FC, the 20th team to join MLS, we take a look back at how D.C. United has performed against expansion clubs in their inaugural MLS regular seasons.
The Black-and-Red has outperformed expansion clubs with a 17-8-3 regular-season record. United swept the opening-season series against four different clubs: the Chicago Fire, Chivas USA, Real Salt Lake and Toronto FC. Below are the year-by-year regular season records between D.C. United and expansion sides:
- vs Chicago Fire - 2-0
- vs Miami Fusion - 2-2
- vs Chivas USA - 2-0
- vs Real Salt Lake - 2-0
- vs Houston Dynamo - 1-1
- vs Toronto FC - 3-0
- vs San Jose Earthquakes - 1-1
- vs Seattle Sounders - 0-1-1
- vs Philadelphia Union - 1-1
- vs Portland Timbers - 1-0-1
- vs Vancouver Whitecaps - 1-1
- vs Montreal Impact - 1-1-1
This weekend, D.C. United hosts the Portland Timbers. D.C. remains undefeated against the Timbers with an all-time record of 1-0-2. Portland has not visited RFK since October 19, 2011 when a goal from Dwayne De Rosario helped the Black-and-Red earn a draw. Match tickets for Saturday are still available ONLINE

Current Projects
The Task Force and its staff are working on numerous projects, including:
Research Involving Adults who Lack Capacity to Consent
The optimal condition for research involving human subjects is for the participant to provide first-person informed consent. In order to learn about the broad spectrum of diseases that impairs cognition and to seek cures for these conditions, research requires participation from individuals who cannot themselves provide valid informed consent. While both federal and State law contemplates surrogate consent to human subjects research, there is a dearth of rules and guidelines on how to conduct this research in a consistent and ethical manner.
At the request of the Department and stakeholders, the Task Force has undertaken an in-depth analysis of the ethical and legal issues surrounding research involving adults who lack the ability to provide first-person informed consent. The Task Force is in the final stages of a completing a report, which will include suggested oversight mechanisms to ensure the ethical conduct of research, recommended safeguards to protect the rights of vulnerable subjects, and guidance to family members and other surrogates on how to decide whether to enroll their loved ones in research.
Allocation of Ventilators in an Influenza Pandemic
In 2007, the Task Force issued draft guidelines addressing how ventilators should be allocated in the event of a shortage due to a pandemic outbreak of influenza. The report provided clinicians and institutions across the State with an ethical framework and clinical protocol for distributing ventilators in a public health emergency. These innovative guidelines were amongst the first of their kind to be released in the United States and have been widely cited and followed by other states.
In light of the recent pandemic flu outbreaks and lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina, the Task Force examined contemporary ethical issues, clinical data, and legal theories, and plans to release the second edition of the report in the near future. The revised report will address the ethics of making allocation decisions based on medical history or DNR orders, and whether children should receive priority access to ventilators over adults. The new edition will also include adjustments to the clinical triage protocol for adults to bring it in line with current medical data, as well as creative solutions for liability and indemnity issues arising from adherence to altered standards of care in an emergency. A new section on pediatric issues, which will address the unique challenges of treating children in a public health disaster, will also be added.
To ensure that the revised guidelines reflect the public's values, the Task Force recently obtained CDC grant funds to embark on a public engagement project. The funds will be used to conduct focus groups throughout the State to solicit opinions on the ethical and clinical framework underpinning the guidelines. This public input will be integrated into the planned revision.
Family Health Care Decisions Act
In 1992, the Task Force released When Others Must Choose: Deciding for Patients Without Capacity, which examined the gap in New York State law regarding surrogate decision-making for health care. The report became the model for the Family Health Care Decisions Act (the "FHCDA"), which establishes a framework to allow surrogate decision-making for patients without capacity when they have not chosen a health care proxy. The FHCDA provides an invaluable tool for surrogate decision-makers to honor the wishes of patients when they cannot speak for themselves, or to act in the best interests of these patients when their wishes are unknown. In March 2010, the FHCDA was enacted.
The State Legislature included in the FHCDA two explicit directives to the Task Force. First, because the FHCDA permits surrogate consent to health care for incapacitated patients only when they are being treated in hospitals or nursing homes, the Legislature requested that the Task Force examine whether the scope of surrogate authority should be expanded to apply to decisions about health care provided in other settings (e.g., physicians' offices or ambulatory care centers). The Task Force recently completed a portion of this project, and submitted to the Legislature two recommendations. Its recommendation that the FHCDA be amended to authorize surrogate decision-making for hospice care formed the basis for legislation passed in July 2011. In 2013, the Task Force submitted its recommendation to the Legislature to extend the FHCDA to decisions regarding health care provided by agencies, programs, and settings that are Medicare and/or Medicaid-certified and State-licensed, and that opt to comply with the requirements of the FHCDA.
The Act's second assignment requires the Task Force to recommend standards and procedures for surrogate decision-making for persons with mental illness or developmental disabilities. This challenging undertaking involves integrating the mechanisms and criteria for surrogate decision-making set forth in the Health Care Decisions Act for Mentally Retarded Persons with those found in the FHCDA in a way that protects the rights and well-being of these individuals while also providing consistent rules for surrogate consent across populations. The Task Force plans to convene a special committee in the near future to examine the second directive.
Empire State Stem Cell Board
In addition to Task Force projects, Task Force staff also provides extensive, on-going support to the Empire State Stem Cell Board (the "Board"), which oversees NYSTEM, the State's program to fund stem cell research.
The Task Force staff has contributed significantly to several of the Board's projects, including providing research on how scientists could show respect for the human embryo when it is utilized in research, aiding the Board in reviewing the ethical and scientific standards for conducting human-animal chimera research, and facilitating and assisting with the development of the Board's historic policy to compensate women who donate their eggs to stem cell research. (See "Statement of the Empire State Stem Cell Board on the Compensation of Oocyte Donors") In addition, staff recently completed drafting model informed consent forms for donations of biological materials, such as eggs or sperm, to stem cell research. (See "ESSCB Model Informed Consent Forms".)

I was amongst the large number of people disappointed to see Alistair Carr leave Pringle of Scotland. Despite a rocky start, his last season at the brand was promising and he seemed to be finding his feet. When the news was announced, not much was said about the reason behind the decision and where he would go but now the news is out. Carr will serve as the new head of design at McQ.
The news is a big deal. Last week the brand opened their first stand alone store on London's Dover Street and of course, January will see them show their menswear collection in London for the first time during London Collections. It's safe to say, then, that, what with all of the changes, all eyes will be on Carr in the coming months. The first clue we will see about what to expect from the label under his direction will be their pre-fall 2013/14 collection.
What do you think about his appointment?

Firefighters at Holley Navarre Fire District are doing their part to help raise awareness of breast cancer.
Throughout the month of October, all fourteen employees will be sporting pink shirts in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The idea came about when union members from Holley Navarre Professional Fire Fighters Local 4695 discussed what they could do to help inform the community.
"We talked about it as a union," said Lt. Arron Sandoval, union vice president. "We've been involved with (the American Cancer Society's) Relay for Life for two years, and we thought that this would be a good beginning," into helping with additional cancer awareness.
For the complete story, see the Oct. 13 issue of Navarre Press or subscribe online.

Dating & Single Living
I would say that I like any compliment that shows that the gentleman has paid attention to me--it is specifically about me, and is not generic . . . or if it is a line out of a Hallmark card, it is delivered sincerely, with his eyes looking into mine.
One note about compliments though: make them entirely positive. If someone compliments my singing voice, I don't ever want to hear "You are so much better than so and so" or anything that degrades or puts down someone else, even if it is you! By having a negative in the compliment, it takes the joy away.
Another example:
"What a lovely thread, so much better than some of the other topics posted" vs "What a lovely thread, thank you for starting such a positive dialogue!"
So thank you for this lovely thread, and I hope you and the other gentlemen enjoy giving the compliments as much as we ladies like to receive them.
Pax et bonum!
Wow! Mine made get pen and paper as he told me how to operate the sprinkler system.
One guy I went on a couple of dates with melted me....he was telling me the next few days at work were going to be tough and I told him I would be praying for him. He said I was precious. It's great to hear my eyes, my smile, my whatever are nice, but that was spontaneous & sincere, always remembered that!
Rae I agree completely. A compliment should always be sincere and should never include something negative. While compliments on appearance are flattering, they're something some random person walking through Wal-Mart could give you. The best compliments are about personality or something that person has been trying to achieve.
The best compliments are the ones about qualities I really value or am trying to improve. For example, while I certainly appreciate compliments on how I look, I would much rather receive a compliment about a virtue. It not only gives me some positive reinforcement on becoming the person I want to be, but it tells me the person I'm receiving the compliment from is looking a little bit deeper.
I agree Laura! Complements are always better when addressing virtue, personality, creativity or a gift someone has. I almost find comments about my looks insulting. It is just not what I want a guy to like me for. Looks come and go. Sadly the only good complement I had lately is ' l like your cat.'
You're the most beautiful woman in my world ...
That sounds like such an honest thing... not comparing to anyone ot the whole world, because there will always be someone prettier... butit means she IS in your world... so much said in few words...
I would melt me right there!

I was wondering if you could elaborate your thoughts on heart health Dr. Houser. We see popular discussions of people wanting the best fat burners, gda's, muscle builders, etc, but I feel people overlook a big part of their health. Outside of the two major recommended ones, COQ10 and fish oil, what in your practice/research/opinion do you feel contributes to a safer more effecient heart (cardio/training aside)?
I recently implemented COP. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it has antiarrhythmic effects and can reduce PVC's. I get a few extra beats quite often, even on EKG's, doc said its normal and that I'm in no harm. Just for heart health alone I will continue to take COP, regardless of whether it does indeed have ergogenic benefits or not.
curious to hear your thoughts.

SV Walleye Club continues to do big things
I attended the final meeting of 2012 for the Spring Valley Walleye Club Tuesday night at the Spring Valley Boat Club. It consisted of wrapping up details for the year 2012 and also looking ahead for the upcoming year. Many people think all this club does is organize and run the walleye tournament in March. That is only the tip of the iceberg.
Barto Landing has been the recipient of a great deal of repair work and new projects. Illinois fishermen and boaters have benefitted because of their projects. The walleye tournament lasts two days, but the projects of the club has made fishing and boating a pleasure due to the improvements brought about by their ideas and work.
The permanent docks were seal-coated, oil-tar coat applied to the Barto blacktop, and building and structures were repaired and repainted. Night security lights were added to the parking area. Also very important is the dredging of the lagoon which is paid for by the club. (Currently on hold but will take place later.)

A conservative Presbyterian mother reaches out to the gay community for support after driving her homosexual son to suicide in this made-for-television movie adapted from Leroy Aaron's 1995 novel. Bobby Griffith (Ryan Kelley) hails from a devoutly Christian family. Lately Bobby's been questioning his own sexuality, and upon confiding this information to his older brother, the news quickly circulates to their parents and other siblings. While Bobby's father and siblings resolve to stand by him despite their opposition to his startling revelation, his mother Mary (Sigourney Weaver) believes that her son is committing a sin, and encourages him to change his ways with the help of the church. Despondent over his experiences in the church, Bobby decides that his best option is to move out of the family home, all the while hoping that his mother will find a means of accepting him for who he is. But Mary is staunch in her position, and when Bobby realizes he'll never live up to his mother's expectations he takes his own life. Devastated, Mary seeks consolation from her pastor but fails to find the answers she's looking for. In time, Mary begins a dialogue with the gay community, and discovers that sometimes support can come from the places we least expect. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Inspired by the real-life events that followed the untimely 1988 death of William Shue (brother of cast members Elisabeth and Andrew Shue and executive producer John Shue) the feel-good sports drama Gracie unfolds in 1978 New Jersey. 15-year-old Gracie Bowen (newcomer Carly Schroeder) is still reeling from the passing of her brother Johnny (Jesse Lee Soffer), a star player on the high-school soccer team. When Gracie defies nearly everyone's wishes by vowing to replace Johnny under the aegis of cantankerous Coach Colasanti (John Doman), it irritates her parents (Elisabeth Shue, Dermot Mulroney) -- who encourage her to stick to activities better-suited to her gender -- and her best friend, Jena (Julia Garro), who warns her that athletic women are often considered "lesbos." The young woman persists, however, and wins the hearts of her most strident detractors, surmounting one obstacle after another and racing toward certain victory. Karen Janszen and Lisa Marie Petersen co-scripted; Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) directs, lacing the soundtrack with pop standards from that era, with Aretha Franklin's "Rock Steady" used as Gracie's training anthem. Dina Goldman created the film's meticulous 1970s production design. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

A young woman learns important lessons about family and communication while making friends with a group of dolphins in this drama. Alyssa (Carly Schroeder) is a troubled teenager who has been feeling at odds with the world since the death of her mother, the only parent she has ever known. Alyssa's grandmother Lucy (Katharine Ross) has been looking after her, but when the girl becomes more than Lucy cares to deal with, she sends Alyssa off to spend some time with her father, Hawk (Adrian Dunbar). Hawk is a marine biologist living in the Bahamas, where he's involved in a major research project involving dolphins, and he has neither the time nor the inclination to bond with his long-lost daughter. Alyssa is no more happy to see Hawk than he is to see her, and Hawk is on edge as his funding for the project is about to be pulled. But Alyssa finds a supportive friend in Tamika (Christine Adams), Hawk's girlfriend, and as Alyssa learns to enjoy life along the idyllic Bahamian coast, she develops a strong connection with the dolphins, which not only helps her father with his work but brings her closer to her long lost dad. Eye of the Dolphin also features Jane Lynch, George Harris and Christopher Harrod. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A businessman becomes the last line of defense for his family and his business in this thriller. Jack Stanfield (Harrison Ford) is an upper-echelon technology executive at Landrock Pacific Bank, a leading financial institution based in Seattle. Stanfield oversees security for Landrock, and has made sure that their online banking services are the best-protected in the world, and that the bank's data is safe from hackers and other intruders. However, Stanfield finds out the hard way that his system does indeed have a flaw when he's visited by Bill Cox (Paul Bettany), a cold and calculating man who has spent months learning everything there is know about Stanfield and his family. Cox's underlings have taken Stanfield's wife, Beth (Virginia Madsen), and their two children hostage, and they inform Jack that they will be released only when he uses his knowledge of the bank's security systems to deposit 100 million dollars in Cox's account in an offshore bank. Stanfield is deeply wary but willing to go along to ensure the safety of his family, but when he has reason to doubt that Cox and his cohorts will live up to their end of the bargain, he swings into action to exact justice against the criminals.

Did Greg and Marcia really do the nasty? Was Brady dad Robert Reed a bumbling lush? These and other burning Brady questions are in turn answered and skirted around in Growing up Brady, an account of the torrid machinations at work behind the laughter and polyester lapels of America's 1970s alpha-clan. Maureen McCormick (Kaley Cuoco) uses pouty sexuality to try to lure her TV brother, Barry Williams (Adam Brody) into her amorous clutches, while Florence Henderson (Rebecca Bush) feels more than motherly instincts toward her TV son. Meanwhile, poor Robert Reed (Daniel Hugh Kelly) drinks a lot, and everyone revels in a Brady Bunch of dysfunction. Growing up Brady was co-executive produced by none other than Greg Brady himself, Barry Williams. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

Teen queen Lizzie McGuire grows up a bit and hits the big screen in this comedy drama, based on the popular Disney Network series. Lizzie McGuire (Hilary Duff) and her best friends Kate (Ashlie Brillault), Gordo (Adam Lamberg), and Ethan (Clayton Snyder) have just graduated from middle school, and to celebrate, they're taking part in a class trip to Rome, Italy. Eager to celebrate their new maturity as high school students, Lizzie and her pals hope to live it up in one of Europe's most fabled cities, but fate has something more spectacular in store for Lizzie. Lizzie discovers that she bears a striking resemblance to Isabella, an Italian teen-pop idol famous for her duets with heart-throb Paolo (Yani Gellman) -- so much so that when Paolo and Isabella have a falling out, he asks Lizzie to take Isabella's place for an upcoming concert. Lizzie, however, isn't sure she feels comfortable stepping into the spotlight, and is even less sure about the way she feels about Paolo, who makes no secret of his infatuation with her. Things don't get any simpler for Lizzie when her family gets wind of her newfound fame, and catch the next flight to Italy. The Lizzie McGuire Movie also features Robert Carradine and Hallie Todd as Lizzie's parents, and Jake Thomas as her younger brother Matt, all of whom reprise their roles from the television series. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Biographical Note
Biographical Note
A founding member and first president of the Santa Lucia Chapter of the Sierra Club, Lee Wilson was a lifelong environmental activist and conservationist. His papers document his efforts on environmental causes in San Luis Obispo County, primarily in the 1960s and 1970s. Wilson was particularly active in leading grassroots efforts to influence local and federal environmental policy.
Frank and Emma Wilson's son Lee was born in Rangely, Colorado, on June 18, 1904. The Wilson family made their living as farmers and instilled a love of the land and open spaces in their son. In 1914, the family moved to Arizona, where Lee attended Mesa High School. Because of his father's asthma, the family moved to California in 1921. Lee was an Eagle Scout, graduated from high school in Lindsey, California, and attended the University of California at UCLA. Wilson and his brother started an electrical contracting business. He Lee and Lillian Wilson were married in 1928.
During World War II he taught electrical engineering at UCLA and served as an air raid warden. He became a member of the Los Angeles Chapter of the Sierra Club in 1948. For many years, Lee and Lillian Wilson led a group of Sierra Club members who hiked Mount Whitney every Labor Day weekend. Lee and Lillian hiked the entire John Muir Trail in the Sierra.
The Wilsons had three children: Jeannette Wilson Armstrong, Marian Wilson Sacco, and Lee Jr., who shared their parents' love of the outdoors. In 1958, Wilson moved the family business, Lee Wilson Electric Co., to Arroyo Grande so they could be near their children and live in a small community.
Wilson was an active member of the Native Plant Society of San Luis Obispo County. He researched and photographed native plants of the county with Cal Poly social sciences professor Robert F. Hoover for many years. Photographs from these trips helped illustrate Hoover's Color Supplement to the Vascular Plants of San Luis Obispo County, California (San Luis Obispo, Calif.: [n.p.], 1974).
In addition to serving as leader of Boy Scout Troop 248, Wilson also worked on campaigns to preserve the Pismo Beach Dunes and Oso Flaco Lake. In 1961, he was a founding member of the Santa Lucia Group, a local offshoot of the Santa Barbara based Los Padres Chapter of the Sierra Club. By 1968, the Santa Lucia Group became a formal chapter of the Sierra Club.
Wilson waged successful campaigns on a number of environmental issues, most notably designation and use of wilderness areas. He worked to ban the use of off-road vehicles in local wilderness areas. The Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs recommended that the Forest Service permit off-road vehicles use in the Garcia and Machesna Mountain Wilderness Areas, stating, "Both areas appear to have no timber or mineral values but receive substantial motorized recreation use."
Wilson and other local conservations, including Ian McMillan, knew both wilderness areas had once been home to a thriving California condor population, located along the condor flyway, where they were a common sight before the increasing use of off-road vehicles. As part of his letter-writing campaign in response to the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs' recommendation, Wilson in 1979 wrote to congressional representative Robert Lagomarsino: "I believe the elimination of the use of motor vehicles of any kind…would encourage the condor to again use both Hi Mountain & Machesna nesting sites."
Wilson also worked closely with Harold Miossi on creation of the Santa Lucia Wilderness Area, a goal of the Sierra Club chapter since the passage of the Wilderness Act of 1964. Wilderness status was being thwarted by the district's congressional representative, Burton Talcott, and by the U.S. Forest Service, which argued that only "experts and bureaucrats should determine what tracts should be saved." When Alan Cranston was elected to the U.S. Senate from California in 1968, the plan regained momentum.
Wilson and Miossi drafted the legal description of the 22,250-acre tract, which Cranston introduced in December 1971. Wilson, Miossi, and San Luis Obispo Mayor Ken Schwartz testified several times in Washington, D.C., for passage of the bill, but Talcott continued to oppose it. Eventually, the proposed name was changed from "Lopez" to "Santa Lucia," but it was not until Leon Panetta defeated Talcott for the district's congressional seat in 1976 that the SB 3027 succeeded. In 1978, Congress designated the Santa Lucia in central California and the Rogue River in Oregon as the first Bureau of Land Management wilderness areas, which President Jimmy Carter signed.
After the Santa Lucia Wilderness Area was finally created, Wilson believed that access to the area for hiking could be improved. Wilson successfully petitioned the Forest Service to create a trail from Highway 101 to the new wilderness area. He talked his son-in-law into donating 100 gallons of gas for the trucks to haul the volunteers up the mountains to break the trail. A plaque commemorating this work is located at the trailhead.
In 1979, Lee Wilson was one of seven people honored nationally with Special Achievement Awards from the Sierra Club, for his work on the Santa Lucia Wilderness Area. Established in 1966, Special Achievement are bestowed on individual Sierra Club members or groups a particular action, campaign, or effort of singular importance to conservation or the Club.
In 1985, the San Luis Obispo Telegram-Tribune honored him with a front-page picture entitled "Man of the Mountain" in the Focus weekend magazine. The Arroyo Grande Rotary Club honored him with a Rotarian Fellow Award for his involvement in their many community projects. He was also recognized for 25 years of perfect attendance. Lee Wilson was the subject of a posthumous resolution from the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors for his 18 years of service on the San Luis Obispo County Water Resources Advisory Committee.
In 1988, Lee and Lillian Wilson celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. On August 31, 1989, Lee Wilson died in Arroyo Grande, California. His three children and seven grandchildren, who share his love of hiking and the outdoors, survived him.

Scope and Content
Scope and Content Note
The Lee Wilson Collection contains the correspondence, publications, maps, and photographs of environmental activist Lee Wilson of Arroyo Grande, California. Family members gathered the papers in 1994 for the Environmental Archives of San Luis Obispo County, which were transferred to the repository at Cal Poly by volunteers for the Environmental Archives. During processing, duplicates were recycled, which reduced the collection size to 3.75 linear feet.
Where possible, the provenance, or original organization, of the papers has been preserved. However, in order to simplify access to the collection for researchers, some materials in specific formats and topics were reorganized and refoldered to more accurately reflect their contents.
The provenance, or original organization, of the papers has been preserved for the most part. However, in the years after 1970, the growing volume of material and McMillan's overlapping involvement with different groups lobbying on similar issues created numerous small files. In order to simplify access to the collection for researchers, most materials were refoldered and adhere to McMillan's original subject categories, while some were shifted and renamed to more accurately reflect the contents.
The Lee Wilson Collection is divided into five series:
- Non-Profit and Government Affiliations, 1963-1988
- Watchdog and Advocacy Efforts, 1960s-1980s
- Correspondence, 1956-1980s
- Visual Media, 1960s-1970s
- Research Materials, 1959-1985
The Lee Wilson Papers are housed in three Paige boxes, with Series 1 – Non-Profit and Government Agency Affiliations and Series 2 – Watchdog and Lobbying Efforts, containing the most extensive and unique portions of the collection, each filling one container.

Regional Resource Stewardship Council Continues Review of TVA Natural Resource Plan
June 28, 2011
YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. – The Tennessee Valley Authority's Regional Resource Stewardship Council will review TVA's draft Natural Resource Plan on Wednesday, June 29, at the Brasstown Valley Resort.
The council will review an updated draft of the plan, which covers a range of program areas associated with biological, cultural, water and recreational resources, and reservoir lands planning. Discussion will include historical spending on these areas, Natural Resource Plan funding and implementation, and incorporating advice from the RRSC at its April meeting.
The council advises TVA on the operation of its dams and reservoirs, including responsibility for navigation, flood control, reservoir water quality, cultural resources and wildlife protection, and management of public lands and recreation. Created in 2000, the 20-member panel is the key stakeholder review group for the Natural Resource Plan.
"We are getting policy guidance from the council on how TVA should manage the stewardship responsibilities associated with the numerous natural and cultural resources on the public lands and shorelines that TVA manages as part of the integrated river system," said Anda Ray, senior vice president of Environment & Technology.
Council meetings are open to the public and will be in session from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, June 29. The sessions will take place at Brasstown Valley Resort, 6321 U.S. Highway 76, Young Harris, Georgia.
A public comment session will be held at 2 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, June 29. Anyone interested in making comments should register at the door by 1 p.m. Speakers are asked to limit remarks to five minutes. Up to an hour will be allotted for public comments, with participation on a first-come basis. Written comments are also invited and may be mailed to the Regional Resource Stewardship Council, Tennessee Valley Authority, 400 West Summit Hill Drive, WT 11B, Knoxville, Tennessee 37902 or faxed to (865) 632-2345. Comments may be made directly to council members through the council website at http://www.tva.com/rrsc. For more information, call the council records officer at (865) 632-6113.
The Tennessee Valley Authority, a corporation owned by the U.S. government, provides electricity for utility and business customers in most of Tennessee and parts of Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia – an area of 80,000 square miles with a population of 9 million. TVA operates 29 hydroelectric dams, 11 coal-fired power plants, three nuclear plants and 11 natural gas-fired power facilities that can produce about 34,000 megawatts of electricity, delivered over 16,000 miles of high-voltage power lines. TVA also provides flood control, navigation, land management and recreation for the Tennessee River system and works with local utilities and state and local governments to promote economic development across the region. TVA, which makes no profits and receives no taxpayer money, is funded by sales of electricity to its customers. Electricity prices in TVA's service territory are below the national average.

Do you know a southeast Michigan leader who should be honored for championing regional cooperation that makes the region's communities better places? The Shining Light Regional Cooperation Awards are looking for leaders from southeast Michigan's seven counties – Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne – "who, in one way or another, have taken a leadership role in encouraging people and communities to work cooperatively to improve southeast Michigan," according to the award's website.
Any member of the public may nominate someone they admire for one of three Shining Light Awards. The Neal Shine Award for Exemplary Regional Leadership "recognizes an individual in the public spotlight who is taking risks and demonstrating courage to improve regional cooperation and understanding." The Eleanor Josaitis "Unsung Hero" Award "recognizes an individual who may not have yet received the widespread recogition she or he deserves for longstanding efforts to further regional cooperation and understanding." And finally, the Dave Bing Future Leader Award "recognizes a young adult who is involved with enhancing regional understanding and cooperation within our metropolitan community."
The Shining Light Regional Cooperation Awards, which were created by the Detroit Free Press and Metropolitan Affairs Coalition (MAC), will be held at the Ford Conference and Event Center in Dearborn on October 13, 2011, beginning at 8 a.m. You can make a reservation to attend the event beginning August 26.

In 1975 in Beaumont, Texas, dioxin and a highly acidic herbicide injected underground by the Velsicol Chemical Corp. burned a hole through its well casing, sending as much as five million gallons of the waste into a nearby drinking water aquifer.
Then in August 1984 in Oak Ridge, Tenn., radioactive waste was turned up by water monitoring near a deep injection well at a government nuclear facility.
Regulators raced to catch up. In 1974, the Safe Drinking Water Act was passed, establishing a framework for regulating injection. Then, in 1980, the EPA set up the tiered classes of wells and began to establish basic construction standards and inspection schedules. The EPA licensed some state agencies to monitor wells within their borders and handled oversight jointly with others, but all had to meet the baseline requirements of the federal Underground Injection Control program.
Even with stricter regulations in place, 17 states – including Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina and Wisconsin -- banned Class 1 hazardous deep well injection.
"We just felt like based on the knowledge that we had at that time that it was not something that was really in the best interest of the environment or the state," said James Warr, who headed Alabama's Department of Environmental Management at the time.
Injection accidents kept cropping up.
A 1987 General Accountability Office review put the total number of cases in which waste had migrated from Class 1 hazardous waste wells into underground aquifers at 10 -- including the Texas and Pennsylvania sites. Two of those aquifers were considered potential drinking water sources.
In 1989, the GAO reported 23 more cases in seven states where oil and gas injection wells had failed and polluted aquifers. New regulations had done little to prevent the problems, the report said, largely because most of the wells involved had been grandfathered in and had not had to comply with key aspects of the rules.
Noting four more suspected cases, the report also suggested there could be more well failures, and more widespread pollution, beyond the cases identified. "The full extent to which injected brines have contaminated underground sources of drinking water is unknown," it stated.
The GAO concluded that most of the contaminated aquifers could not be reclaimed because fixing the damage was "too costly" or "technically infeasible."
Faced with such findings, the federal government drafted more rules aimed at strengthening the injection program. The government outlawed certain types of wells above or near drinking water aquifers, mandating that most industrial waste be injected deeper.
The agency also began to hold companies that disposed of hazardous industrial waste to far stiffer standards. To get permits to dispose of hazardous waster after 1988, companies had to prove – using complex models and geological studies -- that the stuff they injected wouldn't migrate anywhere near water supplies for 10,000 years. They were already required to test for fault zones and to conduct reviews to ensure there were no conduits for leakage, such as abandoned wells, within a quarter-mile radius. Later, that became a two-mile minimum radius for some wells.

The CAA Carriage Festival is more than just a pleasure-driving show! The CAA caters to those who love the memory of a historic age when horse-drawn vehicles fulfilled so many needs of mankind. The CAA strives to be historically accurate, currently informative, and helpful to all who share appreciation of things that were.
Founded in 1960, the CAA is the oldest and largest international organization devoted to the preservation and restoration of horse-drawn carriages and sleighs. Thousands of people have been introduced to the wonders of collecting these vehicles and the pleasures of driving them while discovering the beauty and charm of a lifestyle that has all but vanished from our modern world.
The event takes place mostly in the park's Alltech Arena, consisting of part pleasure-driving show and part mini-conference. Participants and spectators alike will all find something to see, do, and enjoy at this year's inaugural CAA Carriage Classic. The pleasure-driving-show portion of the event will feature the standard pleasure-driving classes and several "just for fun" classes, in a variety of divisions. The event will also feature pleasure drives throughout the park, lectures, and social activities usually associated with a full CAA Conference.
Exhibit a carriage in the CAA's popular Carriage Showcase, a vehicle in the Antique Car Show or simply come to the park's Alltech Arena to watch it all and listen to several speakers on hand, who will educate and entertain! This event is suitable for all ages.

The 2013 Mega-Rally, hosted by the MidSouth Region of the United States Pony Club, is happening at the Kentucky Horse Park, June 21-23!
The United States Pony Clubs (USPC) is an organization for youth providing programs that teach riding, mounted sports and the care of horses and ponies. They strive to develop responsibility, moral judgment, leadership and self-confidence. The Mega-Rally is an annual event hosted by the Midsouth Region of the USPC and is a United States Eventing Association-sanctioned event.
Competitions that are offered include Tetrathlon, Show-jumping, Dressage, D1 Combined Test, D2/D3 Eventing, C-Rally and Horse Trials. In show jumping, horse-and-rider teams are expected to jump a series of fences ranging anywhere from 3 feet 6 inches in novice classes to 6 feet or more in more advanced classes, as fast as they possibly can.
Dressage is an elegant discipline that has often been described as "ballet on horseback." Dressage requires control, concentration, patience, and agility on the part of both the human and equine athlete. Eventing involves dressage, cross-country, and stadium jumping. Because eventing takes a toll on the horse-and-rider team's skills and energy level, the competition requires considerable stamina and versatility from both horse and rider. Come out to see our young riders compete. It is sure to be a good show!

The Festival of the Bluegrass is the premier traditional Bluegrass Music Festival in the country where the biggest names in bluegrass will converge at the Kentucky Horse Park Campground in Lexington, KY, June 6-9, 2013.
Since 1974, the Cornett Family of Central Kentucky has been bringing the best bluegrass to the Bluegrass. Still going strong, the festival is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year and is the oldest family-run bluegrass festival in the country. This week-long celebration takes place at the Kentucky Horse Park and in downtown Lexington with transportation provided between the two. Features include workshops, music, and more!
There are three stages at the Kentucky Horse Park Campground: the Main Stage, the Homegrown Stage and the Progressive Stage. There is an extensive line-up with different bands playing each day. While there is seating available for some stages, it is wise to bring your own lawn chair. Attended by thousands and the crown jewel of bluegrass festivals in the Bluegrass, their mission is to maintain the roots of Bluegrass music in Kentucky and to honor the community spirit of evenings spent on front porches throughout Appalachia. That same spirit can be found in "villages" around the campground as music spills beyond the stage to individual camp sites.
Camping is a big part of the Festival of the Bluegrass experience. Whether you load up your RV or throw a tent in your trunk, you'll be joining a few thousand of the closest friends you never knew you had. Every year it's the same; people come for the music, they stay for the community. The late night pickin', the morning smells of coffee and bacon, the trek to the showers and dip in the pool all reinforce that the Festival of the Bluegrass is more village than campground.
The Kentucky Horse Park Campground is a beautiful state park campground that provides campers with access to a bath house, playground, store and swimming pool. If you're interested in a site, book soon as we fill up. Two ticket purchases are required per campsite.
An important part of the Festival of the Bluegrass is encouraging younger generations to carry on the musical tradition. The Cornett family has supported a non-profit Bluegrass Music Camp for this purpose - kids ages 6-18 come and learn the craft from experienced musicians. The Bluegrass Music Camp for youngsters will be opening the festival at 7 pm on Thursday, June 6.

The Thoroughbred Horse Show Association (TBHS) is making plans to showcase off-the-track Thoroughbreds that are now competing as hunters and jumpers, as well as dressage, during its second Spring Show on June 1 at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington.
TBHS was founded in 2011 by a group of Central Kentuckians interested in creating opportunities to showcase the talent and competitive spirit of off-the-track Thoroughbreds. Shows are affiliated with The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (TIP), which encourages the retraining of Thoroughbreds into other disciplines upon the completion of their careers in racing or breeding.
During TBHS's successful inaugural shows in 2012, more than 200 Thoroughbreds of all ages competed in a variety of classes using their registered Jockey Club names. The TBHS Spring Show is geared for Thoroughbreds just starting their show careers with entry-level divisions in multiple disciplines, including dressage, combined training, hunter jumper and competitive trail riding.
Horses competing in the TBHS Spring Show will be eligible for The Jockey Club TIP High Point Awards. The Jockey Club will award ribbons, prizes and $100 to the winner with the highest number of points in the following divisions: Starter Hunter, Hunter, Jumper, Beginner Novice Combined Test, Training Level Dressage, and First Level Dressage.
Classes during the June 1 show include the $500 Nick Zito Racing Stable Hunter Classic for horses that have not won a blue ribbon at a recognized horse show, and the $500 Ocala Breeders' Sales Company Gamblers Choice, a competition in which each fence will have a point value and riders will create their own courses. There will also be the $300 Bantry Farms High Jump Class and the $200 Jumper Classic, Cross Rails Championship, and Handy Hunter Championship sponsored by The Jockey Club TIP, which is providing awards in Dressage and Show Jumping.

I wish you would reconsider. I love what youve done for the ios devices (and osx for that matter) and really prefer having my movies decoded on the devise rather than transcoded, atleast when Im at home on my local network. but scraping 1200+ movies and god knows how many tv episodes on a phone or a pad? Hardly seems user friendly.
I really want official xbmc support, installing these addons for jailbroken ios devices manually seems lika a pita.
Since I started all this....
I don't use Plex, I install it once or twice a year to see what's going on. So I started all this because I thought that Plex finally opened PMS and that it would be nice to have this plug in in official repo. As I'm trying to make Front Row like skin, I even wanted to make skin support for it. Well I was wrong - Plex only published keys, keeping PMS closed.
To be sincere, I really like what they have done to improve library and management - they seam to have picked quite a few ideas from Xbmc forum as well :-) Still, it remains a closed thing.
IMO, Davilla is saying that as long as it stays closed he will not support it and will veto plugins for it in official repo. He won't, however, be blocking usage of those plugins - but you will be on your own. As I proved wrong in my presumption PMS was opened I must say I agree with Davilla's decision.
I can only hope that talented people in this forum, which are already making Mac apps, decide to step up and help devs make Xbmc Media Server/Media manager possible.

Going online to do research when you're writing papers and doing projects is a no-brainer. But all of the choices at your fingertips can seem overwhelming sometimes. Knowing how to evaluate and choose online resources can help you avoid headaches and wasted time.
Here are 5 ways to make researching online as easy and effective as possible:
When you research online, it can be easy to copy and paste text, then forget to cite the source or go back and put the thought in your own words later. Just like teachers can recognize your voice in class, most can recognize your voice in your writing. Even accidental plagiarism can have serious consequences for your grades — so don't take a chance. Identify the text you've quoted and add the citation before moving on to the rest of your paper.
