There's a few surprised looks around the pool table as punters gather round an article in the Daily Mail claiming that Sir Alex Ferguson is lining up a shock bid for Arsenal contract rebel Theo Walcott.
The Manchester United manager is keen to land the England winger in a deal similar to that of Robin van Persie who made the controversial move to Old Trafford back in August.
Understandably the 23-year-old, who joined the Gunners back in 2006 for £12 million, favours a move to the Premier League leaders as he craves trophies after a disappointing time at Arsenal.
He is currently in a contract dispute with Arsene Wenger and has rejected a five-year deal worth £75,000-per-week, feeling that he deserves a contract closer to £100,000-a-week. If the contract impasse continues then the former Southampton man will have the opportunity to leave on a Bosman in the summer.
Arsenal are expected to sell Walcott for as little as £8 million in the January transfer window if they cannot agree a new contract by the end of 2012 and United have now become the frontrunners to secure his services on the cheap.
A whole host of Premier League teams are said to be interested in signing the electrifying wide man but the Red Devils are reported to be his ideal choice as he looks to rediscover the breakthrough form that he demonstrated a few years ago.
AS AN ARSENAL FAN FOR NEARLY 50 YEARS WITH A COLLECTION OF MEMORABILIA BACK TO 1940S I JUST WISH THAT THE CURRENT ARSENAL SQUAD WOULD READ THE HANDBOOK FOR 1946/47 WHEREIN IT HONOURS 15 ARSENAL PLAYERS WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE SERVICE OF DEFENDING THESE ISLANDS.THEY WOULD HAVE GIVEN EVERYTHING TO PLAY 1 MORE GAME FOR AFC FOR NOTHING LET ALONE UP TO £100k A WEEK .COME ON LADS REMEMBER THE ARSENAL MOTTO "VICTORIA CONCORDIA CRESCIT" (VICTORY THROUGH HARMONY ).
AW's social wage structure retains journeymen while stars leave in disgust. Despite the 3rd highest wage bill in the league the result is awful. Kroenke is as mediocre as his US franchises so expect nothing.

If you've been paying attention to the American sneaker scene for the past few years, you'll undoubtedly recognize the name Ronnie Fieg. From his campout-inducing releases like the 'Mint Leafs,' 'Coves' and 'Salmon Toes,' Fieg has helped bring retro Asics models back into relevancy. And on top of all that, Fieg has managed to open two of his Kith stores in New York and Brooklyn in the past year, which have become hot spots for all things Asics. Since it appears that his specialty lies in finding premium materials and sharp colorways, this preview of his latest collabo the 'Super Red 2.0′ looks to be more of the same — in all the right ways. Breaking away from his previous Gel Lyte III releases, Fieg took another stab at the GTII model, which experienced great success last summer with the 'Ultramarine' release. The 'Super Red 2.0′ utilizes more of the premium suede we've seen on many other Fieg x Asics collabs, which will be perfect for the upcoming summer months.
We first got a preview of the 'Super Red 2.0s' back in November when a pair was seen on one of his Kith workers in a preview for some varsity jackets Kith had released, pictured below. Since then, not many details have popped up regarding this pair, other than a photo of our boy Theophilus London trying his pair on a few weeks back. This doesn't come as a surprise to us as London is notorious for getting all the Fieg releases early. But with photos of these beginning to pop up more often via Fieg's Instagram account and Twitter, it could be expected that these will release within the next few months via both Kith locations and their webstore. As more detailed release information becomes available, you can trust that the Ahoodie crew will keep you up to date on the latest from Fieg. Until then, check out pics of the shoes below as well as a comparison shot of the Super Red 1.0's and the 2.0s. What do you think of this latest preview from Ronnie Fieg and Asics? Do you plan on getting Fiegstep'd when they release? Hit us up in the comments section and let us know.

Duxbury police are investigating an incident of drug possession at Duxbury Middle School that has resulted in the arrest of one student and could potentially involve others.
Police Chief Mark DeLuca said that on Friday morning, a 14-year-old student was arrested at DMS for possession of marijuana. Police got a call from school officials regarding the incident and arrived at around 8:45 a.m. to take the eighth grader into custody.
DeLuca said that the student's parents were called regarding the arrest.
He also said that as of Tuesday, one student is involved with the incident, but that "this could possibly involve several more students."
DeLuca added that to his knowledge, Friday's arrest had nothing to do with a middle school ski trip held last week.
Both DMS Principal Jo Ellen Scannell and Superintendent of Schools Eileen Williams said on Monday that the matter was a "student discipline issue" which they could not comment on.
"It's confidential," said Scannell.
DeLuca said that the investigation into the matter was ongoing, but it would most likely be completed in one or two days. He could not elaborate on what charges the students would face in connection with the incident.

My budget is:
The word 'resort' is perhaps a little too shabby when it comes to labelling the captivating and sophisticated town of Sorrento, characterised by beautiful architectural features, a delectable culinary scene, stunning coastal gems and a general atmosphere that exudes class and luxury. Still, embarking on Sorrento holidays in Italy will offer up the typical pleasures of a coastal resort retreat, but with all the elegance associated with the splendour and extravagance of the country.
Located along the country's idyllic Neapolitan Riviera, the romance of this region shines through in Sorrento's character; whether in the form of the colourful buildings that hang precariously from dramatic cliffs, the light bobbing of a shiny yacht on the marina's waters, or the tangible aromas that seep from each café and eatery that lines the streets – all stirring images only met in escapism and fantasy, but discovered in reality during holidays to Sorrento.
For those looking to add a significant beach vibe to their Sorrento holidays, you'll be pleased to learn that numerous avenues will allow you to exercise your inner beach bum when visiting the town. Despite its location outside of Sorrento, the beauty spot and coastal resort of the island of Capri is a highly rewarding daytrip for anybody seeking sun, sand and sea. On land you'll encounter villas and churches, while by the coast are caves and bays, welcoming sunbathing, swimming and snorkelling in an idyllic setting.
Within the town itself, you'll find beaches upon which to relax or indulge. The Marina Piccola, or Small Port, is a charming little setting dotted with boats, and nearby you'll find clean and pretty beaches to utilise your need for sunshine. The Marina Grande – somewhat easier to decipher – juxtaposes the quiet serenity of the Small Port, displaying the traditions and charm of an authentic fishing village. One thing that needs to be experienced during holidays in Sorrento is exposure to the unrivalled scenery of the Riviera. Punta del Capo is one of the best places to head for coastal splendour, best washed down with a glass of traditional limoncello at a waterfront bar.
From the charm and romance of lemon terraces to the striking extravagance of the town's Duomo – you'll encounter every visual treat possible during your holidays to Sorrento. There are countless sites to tick off as you begin to delve into the majesty of the town, but for many, the best way to absorb Sorrento's character and style is to explore its streets on foot. Whether it is the Church of San Francisco that turns your head, or the sprawling Piazza Tasso that sees you captivated, everybody will find their own favourite location within the mazing streets of this town.
Culture vultures should take time to duck into one or two of the town's fascinating museums and galleries, especially the Archaeological Museum of the Sorrentine Peninsula, and to gaze at the fine local art at the Museo Bottega della Tasia Lignea. You can extend your exploration into the history, arts and culture of the Neapolitan Riviera by embarking on a daytrip to the nearby town of Ravello. This UNESCO World Heritage Site boasts many strings to its bow, most notably its stunning views of the Mediterranean, while its picturesque gardens, impressive villas and immense Duomo add an even greater proportion of fascination.

Both sides examine CV interview at hearing
WILKES-BARRE - The Citizens' Voice on-camera interview with former state Sen. Raphael Musto last month at his home may or may not play a role in whether he's deemed fit to stand trial on corruption charges. But at his competency hearing on Monday, both sides tried to use the recording to their advantage.
Musto's lawyers argued the interview shows an elderly man suffering from cognitive disabilities who is so aloof he didn't even know he was being recorded and couldn't concentrate enough to answer a reporter's questions.
U.S. prosecutors argued Musto quickly responded to questions, made "some perceptive points" and carried along a dialogue just fine. They asked for a disc of the 12-minute, 39-second interview to be entered into the record that U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo will review before making a decision.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Consiglio questioned whether Musto has "cognitive impairment" or was just being "cagey."
Dr. Susan Rushing, a Philadelphia psychiatrist appointed by Caputo in December to evaluate Musto, said the video's content and how it came about demonstrate her contention Musto is not competent to stand trial. The 84-year-old can't recall how he ended up speaking with the reporter in his living room and had no idea he was being recorded - despite a tripod and a camera set up directly in front of him, she said.
"There seems to be a disconnect in him believing the interview was not on the record or not likely to be shared. There seems to be a bit of confusion of what he was taking part in," Rushing said. "He was not able to appreciate the circumstances."
Musto's attorneys have previously said that minutes before a reporter and photographer showed up at his house on Dec. 4, they warned him not to speak to the press.
The Citizens' Voice sent reporter Bill Wellock and photographer Andrew Krech to Musto's Pittston Township home while his attorneys were in court that day arguing he was too ill to appear in court. They said he invited them in the house and agreed to speak.
The interview itself, Rushing said, was rambling and Musto never actually answered any questions, focusing most of his attention on his dislike of a photo of him that ran in the paper.
"It was a space filler - which I think is likely what you'll get if he was on the witness stand," Rushing said.

Once again I found an excuse to teach a class about my favorite topic, live fermented foods. Once again, the class was well-attended by a diverse group of people with an interest in home-made ferments. Some attendees had a long history of making their own ferments, such as the woman who was originally from Poland and described for us the fermentation traditions of her home country. She told us that she had brought her traditions to the U.S. in the form of fermented cucumbers, which are different from pickles because they use natural fermentation rather than vinegar. Other attendees had only ever tried sauerkraut. They were ready to learn more about the benefits of sauerkraut and try some new things as well.
I credit most of my own health successes and improvements to live fermented foods. Starting with home-brewed beer and some dairy ferments, I worked my way through the book Wild Fermentation several years ago. My favorite health promoting ferments are still the fermented veggies. In my own kitchen, I go back and forth between doing a wild fermentation that utilizes the beneficial bacteria that naturally occur on the veggies and using a starter culture to guarantee consistent results. Sometimes I make the decision to use a starter culture because I want to use less salt. Most of the time, though, I only use a starter culture for fruit ferments or anything high in sugar that might favor an alcoholic fermentation. Click Here to Purchase Culture Starter
For the class, I demonstrated how to make a fruit chutney using either a boxed starter culture or whey from live yogurt. I chose to do a fruit chutney because it is a fun recipe to try and an easy one to add to your diet if you don't like other fermented foods. If you want your kids to eat more ferments, start with fermented fruit (even salsa and ketchup). For picky eaters, you can make the chutney without the spices or use more familiar spices like cinnamon.
Here are the topics I covered in the class, including the recipe:
Benefits of Live Fermented Foods:
Preserve food for winter and avoid waste during times of surplus.
Fermentation increases and even creates vitamins and enzymes.
Live fermented foods improve digestion with probiotic bacteria, beneficial acids and enzymes.
Fermentation breaks down anti-nutrients and goitrogens.
Making Your Own Live Ferments:
Use fresh ingredients, organic and/or local.
Culture starters help encourage the right kind of bacterial fermentation, which is important for fruit if you don't want to end up with alcohol. Yogurt whey also works.
Salt inhibits bad bacteria while the good guys start to take hold. Use a culture starter or juice from a previous batch to cut down on salt.
Basic directions: Wash and chop fruits or veggies. Add salt and massage or pound to create juice. Pack into a clean jar. Leave an inch of space. Cover and leave at room temperature for 3-4 days. Store in fridge for 1-2 months for fruit, 6+ months for veggies.
Fermented Fruit Chutney
Recipe adapted from Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon
Mix Together:
½ cup filtered water (no chlorine)
juice of two lemons
grated rind of two lemons
1/8 cup sucanat or palm sugar
2 teaspoons sea salt
¼ cup whey or culture starter (Mix the starter culture with sweetener and water according to package directions. I used the Body Ecology starter with good results.)
Click Here to Purchase Culture Starter
Add to Lemon Juice/ Culture Mixture:
3 cups fresh fruit (apples, pears, peaches, mango or papaya),peeled and chopped
½ cup crispy pecans or walnuts **
½ cup raisins
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon coriander
Place in wide mouth quart jar and press down until liquid covers top of fruit. Cover and leave at room temperature for 2-3 days. Check the chutney daily and push the fruit down under the liquid as needed. Once it is starting to get slightly fizzy, pop it into the fridge. You may store it in the refrigerator for up to two months.
Important note for beginners: Eat this chutney as a condiment rather than a fruit salad. Add just a couple of tablespoons to your meal. Live fermented foods may contain large amounts of beneficial bacteria. For this reason, it's good to start with a very small amount and give your body time to adjust. Enjoy some live fermented foods every day. Eventually the good bacteria will start to outnumber the harmful bacteria and yeasts in your gut.
**The recipe for Crispy Nuts is also found in Nourishing Traditions. Soak the raw nuts for about 8 hours in salted water and then dehydrate until crispy. This starts the germination process and makes them easier to digest as well as delicious.

Freshman wide receiver Xavier Rush had four catches for 135 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Tulane's 37-34 loss to Syracuse on Saturday at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
Oct. 8, 2011
Final Stats | Quotes | Notes | Photo Gallery
Tulane/Syracuse Game Book In PDF Format
NEW ORLEANS - Junior quarterback Ryan Griffin completed 24-of-30 passes for a 320 yards and junior linebacker Trent Mackey posted a career-best 18 tackles, but it was not enough as the Tulane University football team dropped a 37-34 heartbreaker to Syracuse Saturday night at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
The Green Wave (2-4) trailed by as many as 17 twice, including a 31-14 deficit late in the first half. From there, Tulane outscored the Orange 20-3 courtesy of two scoring receptions by freshman Xavier Rush and a pair of field goals off the toe of sophomore Cairo Santos to knot the score at 34-all with 2:53 left to play. Syracuse (4-2), however, responded with a 12-play, 66-yard drive on the final possession of the game and Ross Krautman drilled a 21-yard field goal as time expired to account for the final score.
"We played a good opponent and we played them toe-to-toe," Tulane head coach Bob Toledo said. "We made some mistakes that basically cost us the football game. There are always a handful of plays that turn the course of the game. We had some penalties that were key...It is unfortunate that happened. I am extremely proud of our football team.
"I felt they battled back. They competed tonight. They were refusing to lose and it was just sad that it had to happen that way. I thought Ryan Griffin had a heck of a football game. I thought Xavier Rush, the true freshman, made some big plays...I thought our kids played hard. We came out in the second half, defensively, and we picked up the intensity a little bit and gave them a heck of a run until the end there."
Tulane had a chance to make things interesting as the Green Wave appeared to force a three-and-out on what proved to be Syracuse's game-winning drive as freshman linebacker Matthew Bailey broke up a pass intended for Van Chew on third down. On the play, however, senior defensive end Dezman Moses was flagged for a blow to the head of quarterback Ryan Nassib to give the Orange new life.
Syracuse got two more first downs later in the drive and following a timeout with two seconds to play, Krautman split the uprights to give the Orange the victory.
Griffin's completions and yardage totals were both season highs and Rush - who entered the game with just one reception for nine yards - had four catches for 135 yards with scoring grabs of 60 and 58 yards. Rush becomes the first Tulane player to surpass the 100-yard receiving mark since Ryan Grant had 140 against Rice last season.
Mackey, who had 16 solo stops among his 18 tackles, was one of two Tulane defenders to post double-digit tackle totals as fellow junior linebacker Darryl Farley had a career-high 12 (7 solo, 5 assists). The Green Wave defense stepped up in a big way after halftime and held Syracuse to just 61 total yards in the second half until the final drive of the contest.
Tulane opened the game on a high note as sophomore running back Orleans Darkwa capped an eight-play, 80-yard opening drive with a 40-yard touchdown jaunt to stake the Green Wave to a 7-0 lead. The advantage was short lived, however, as Jeremiah Kobena returned the ensuing kickoff 79 yards to the Tulane five, and Antwon Bailey hit paydirt one play later to tie the score.
The score was the first of four straight for the Orange as Krautman kicked a 29-yard field goal, Nassib hit Dorian Graham for a 10-yard touchdown, and Nassib scored on a four-yard keeper to stake Syracuse to a 24-7 advantage. A one-yard Darkwa touchdown plunge cut the deficit to 10, but the Orange answered with a one-yard pass from Nassib to Graham to make it 31-14 with 2:58 to play in the first half.
The Green Wave refused to give in and closed the half with a 10-0 rally as Rush scored his first touchdown of the game from 60 yards out 47 seconds later, and Santos connected on a 42-yard field goal as the first half expired to make it 31-24at the break.
Tulane carried the momentum into the third quarter and Santos made it a four-point affair after hitting a 49-yard boot with 4:13 left to play in the stanza. Syracuse stretched the lead back to seven courtesy of a 32-yard Krautman kick with 4:19 left to play, but the Wave came right back and Griffin connected with Rush for another long touchdown to tie the game and set the stage for the Orange's game winning drive.
"That is the one thing our kids said, they were going to refuse to lose tonight," Toledo said. "They weren't going to give in to anything. It is like somebody trying to take away your prized possession; you are going to fight until the bitter end. That's what we did tonight. We competed right down to the last couple of seconds and unfortunately it didn't go our way."
Bailey led all players with 111 yards on 24 carries, and Nassib completed 19-of-34 passes for 186 yards and two touchdowns for the Orange. Graham and Bailey shared team-high reception honors with four each while Phillip Thomas paced the Syracuse defense with 13 tackles (8 solo, 5 assists).
The Green Wave return to action on Saturday, Oct. 15, when they play host to Conference USA rival UTEP at 2:30 p.m. in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The game against the Miners is the second of a three-game homestand for Tulane as the Wave will battle league foe Memphis on Oct. 22 as part of the Homecoming 2011 celebration.
Single-game tickets for next weekend's game, as well as future Green Wave Athletics events, are available through the Tulane Athletics Ticket Office. Sideline tickets are $35, adult endzone seats selling for $20 and youth endzone seats cost $10. The Ticket Office is located on the first floor of the James W.

Perennial Abundance – Over 200 Food Plants on Just a Tiny 1/10th Acre of Cold Climate Urban Land
There's something to be said for the scattergun technique. — planting over 300 edible plants in your backyard to see exactly what sticks, what takes off and what dies in the process.
This is the technique used by Permaculture authors Eric Toensmeier and Jonathan Bates when they converted their tiny 1/10 acre suburban backyard into a perennial food garden of exotic plants located at Holyoke, Massachusetts. They transformed it into a functioning cold climate urban paradise. Well, you need to take a look at the houses that surround their suburban duplex to see what I mean. It's like a glass of water standing next to a barren and thirsty environment.
Their house stand out like a beacon. A permaculture beacon of unusual plants.
It's the only house in Holyoke with bananas growing out the front. And Sorghum waving in the wind. One look and you realize these are serious Permaculturists — with chickens to feed, aquaponics in the greenhouse and a small pond with edible plants in it. It certainly amazed Geoff Lawton — watch as he takes you for a spin detailing exactly what is growing in their amazing backyard.
Trailer only – watch the full video here!
What I liked about meeting Eric Toensmeier is that he's an enthusiastic and very knowledgeable, self-described "plant geek." He buys rare books on obscure plants and ravenously consumes them with detailed annotations. He doesn't put these books on the shelf in his study for show. They are hidden in his basement library and when he shows you his rare and very expensive plant books, its like watching a medieval monk showing you a rare illuminated manuscript.
In this very small backyard, Eric Toensmeier and Johnathan Bates live with their respective wives in a duplex sharing their mutual passion for rare plants like good friends. It also ended up as a business opportunity for Johnathan who now sells these plants to other permies. As Eric says in the video, "We ended up with a collection that nobody had and everyone wanted, and here we are weeding all these things out of our garden, because they self propagate really well. We realized we could be selling these weeds for ten dollars a piece."
They've successfully turned their passion into a success. Authoring a number of books including the book documenting their ten year labor of love on this garden, called "Paradise Lot."
They grow over 200 perennial food plants in temperatures that plunge below minus 20°C (-4°F). Not every plant is a raging success — some you never want to see again. The boys share their successes and their failures in the longer format video available for viewing at Geofflawtononline.com.
Eric finally admits that next summer he's stepping out of his comfort zone of growing unusual plants and will now attempt to grow a plant he's never grown before — the humble lettuce! Way to go Eric!

Author: Lewis Dartnell
Two of the most fundamental questions asked by people are how life emerged on the Earth, and whether we are alone in the cosmos. These deeply important questions form the core of a new kind of science, one that recently has been rapidly gathering momentum: astrobiology. Lewis Dartnell explains.
Computer-generated art is on the rise, and with it comes a further blurring of the boundaries between maths and art. Lewis Dartnell looks at some stunning examples.
Lewis Dartnell turns the universe into a matrix to model traffic, forest fires and sprawling cities.
I've read several of Paul Nahin's books before (see my review of Dr. Euler's fabulous formula in Plus) and this is no exception to his excellent style. The strategies of pursuit and evasion have fascinated mathematicians for centuries. One of the earliest problems was posed by Frenchman Pierre Bouger in 1732.
Sylvia Nasar told the story of John Nash's troubled life in her book A Beautiful Mind, although probably better known as the film with Russel Crow.
The basis of this wonderful book came in a series of questions about modern maths sent to Philip Davis by a friend of his, Christina.
If you've ever watched a flock of birds flying at dusk, or a school of fish reacting to a predator, you'll have been amazed by their perfectly choreographed moves. Yet, complex as this behaviour may seem, it's not all that hard to model it on a computer. Lewis Dartnell presents a hands-on guide for creating your own simulations — no previous experience necessary.
How to cut a cake is the latest volume holding reprinted articles from Stewart's regular maths column in Scientific American between 1987 and 2001.
The hero of this book is Euler's formula: eiπ + 1 = 0 This simple equation has been widely considered through the last two centuries to be one of the most beautiful formulae of mathematics, and Nahin tells us why.
This book starts gently enough, easing us in with the unarguable 2+2 = 4. But don't let this lull you into a misplaced sense of comfort; the ride is going to get very unsettling indeed. Martínez writes with an easy-reading clarity to tackle some of the simplest, but no less profoundly important, assumptions of mathematics. We hear how over the recent history of mathematics seemingly innocuous concepts were as controversial as genetic modification or animal testing are nowadays.

I was wondering if anyone knew any starter sites, or information on how to start racing, like how to train, equipment, etc. I have been riding my bike my whole life and enjoy off roading. I plan on getting a new bike soon, because I dont know if the bike I currently own will be able to handle downhill racing... A pic of my current bike is attached

It never seems to get going in any real direction. Everyone seems to just be going threw the motions.
"Zookeeper" is the latest movie that came from Happy Madison Productions; which made some of the wrost move ever made. I said some. One a few movie from that production company are good. "Zookeeper" isn't as bad as some of the Happy Madison movie that were made in the past year. Kevoin James plays Griffin, a Zookeeper who made friends with animals who talk with him. I like the relationship between James asnd the Gorilla. That relationship brough this film out of the "Stay Away" hole. Also I like the appeal of Rosario Dawson and a dance scene perform by Leslie Bibb. Other than that, I can't do any more. "Zookeeper" is a nice movie, but nice sometimes doesn't cut the butter.
very funny, would see it again

Sage-grouse Conservation and Management
Wednesday, June 1, 2016
This impressive 6-pound bird is the largest North American grouse.
They are brown, buff, and white with a long tail and black belly.
Sage-grouse are birds of the sagebrush plains. They eat flowers, leaves, buds, and insects. In the winter, their diet is made up of sagebrush leaves and buds.
Sage-grouse are best known for their incredible courtship displays. A displaying male sage-grouse is an impressive sight as he fans his tail, fluffs his ruff, and hoots and pops with his yellow-orange air sacs.
Sage-grouse use an area called a "lek" for their courtship displays. This is a small, open area where a group of males gather to display for the hens. Leks are sometimes used for many years. Because of this, biologists can keep track of populations by observing the number of sage-grouse using a lek.
Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) once were abundant in sagebrush habitats of the western United States and Canada. Unfortunately, the bird and its habitat have declined in abundance.
Sagebrush habitat is so important to sage grouse that the loss of this habitat has hurt these birds in large parts of the western rangelands. It's basic - sage-grouse need good-quality sagebrush habitat and without it they can't survive. Fire, invasive species, and human activities have all destroyed sagebrush habitat.
Fortunately, we now understand how important sagebrush habitat is. Hunters, landowners, bird watchers, and many others are working together to help restore and preserve sagebrush habitat.
The 2006 Conservation Plan for the Greater Sage-grouse in Idaho replaces the 1997 plan and incorporates significant new information and includes completed Local Working Group Plans.
If you have questions, or would like a CD containing the entire plan, please contact the Fish & Game Wildlife Bureau at (208) 334-2920.Conservation Plan for the Greater Sage-grouse in Idaho - 2006 [PDF, 6.7 MB]

World War II Museum and Exposition Hall
World War II exposition (museum) is located in the very centre of Aglona town. The exposition is quite concentrated facilitating easy viewing as there is no need to walk between the storeys. The heart of museum is weapons collection from the World War II battlefields.
It is possible to view also uniforms, ammunition, household objects, aircraft debris etc. The most valuable and unique object is the field-post letters of correspondence between the oberleutnant August and his beloved Marta during 5 years of war: the dialogue in letters between two loving people with a happy end. The chronicles of that time are used as background. Exposition has no political emphasis, both warring parties are equally featured. They are not assumed neither good nor bad, maybe that's why exposition is so easy to view and enjoyable to visitors.
World War II was the most cruel military conflict in the human history when tens of millions of people died. Nations were reigned by ruthless and ambitious leaders. People should know what it really meant so it couldn't happen never again. That is why this exposition was arranged and why it should be visited while staying in Aglona town. At present pictures can be taken only on a German military bike, but in the future there will be an opportunity to use uniforms and theatrical battle field.

GREENBELT, Md. (AP) — A man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for sex trafficking and related offenses.
Thirty-two-year-old Jean Claude Roy of Germantown, also known as "Dredd the Don," was sentenced in federal court in Greenbelt on Tuesday.
Authorities say Roy transported girls across state lines to engage in prostitution, and physically and sexually abused, threatened and branded them. Authorities say while in jail, Roy called someone and asked that person to access online accounts to destroy evidence relating to his charges.

SIFF's getting into the homestretch — just 10 days to go! — but there's still plenty to see. This weekend brings programming to the Kirkland Performance Center, as well as to the festival's four main venues; for a full schedule, see www.siff.net.
'Ballet 422' ★★★½
Jody Lee Lipes' engrossing film is about the process of creating — specifically, "Paz de la Jolla," the 422nd original ballet created for New York City Ballet. We watch as Justin Peck, a 25-year-old NYCB corps dancer and up-and-coming choreographer, sketches out the dance alone in a studio, capturing it on his iPhone; gradually, the colors are filled in by other dancers, musicians, costumes, lights. You're struck by how all this came from somewhere in a young man's imagination, and wonder what else might be dancing there. Producer Anna Rose Holmer is scheduled to attend both screenings. 7 p.m. June 2 at the Uptown; 3:30 p.m. June 3 at the Uptown. — Moira Macdonald

Most Read Stories
Local actor/filmmaker Shawn Telford's narrative feature debut, filmed in his hometown of Post Falls, Idaho, has a vivid sense of place: a small town populated by aimless teens, disillusioned adults and a free-floating sense of despair. Telford weaves together three overlapping stories, all of a similar thread: getting out, wanting more. Wally Dalton and Kelsey Packwood are particularly affecting, as a grandfather who's "almost forgot what feeling good feels like" and a teenage girl desperate to get out of town and never look back. It's a raw, unprettified tale, and it haunts you afterward. Telford and various cast and crew members will attend both screenings. 9 p.m. June 2 at the Harvard Exit; 4 p.m. June 3 at the Harvard Exit. — M.M.
'Boyhood' ★★★★
Remember how you felt watching Frank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life" for the first time? You may have a similar response to "Boyhood," Richard Linklater's rich, spellbinding, 12-years-in-the-making epic about a struggling Texas family trying to get through the post-9/11 period. Even if you fail to respond to the lump-in-the-throat moments, even if you don't buy the script's tentative approach to life's meaning, it's impossible to resist Linklater's compassionate treatment of every major character — even a self-hating bully who threatens devastation. Linklater is scheduled to attend the first screening. 5 p.m. May 31 at the Egyptian; 8 p.m. June 1 at the Harvard Exit.— John Hartl
'Dear White People' ★★★
Reminiscent of "Mean Girls" and recent Supreme Court affirmative-action decisions, this smart, sexy satire takes place at the self-consciously anti-racist Winchester University, where it's possible to minor in jive. Dennis Haysbert has a key role as a college administrator who thinks he's in control when a campus revolt takes place, but the movie belongs to the talented unknowns who play the students. Director Justin Simien is scheduled to attend the first screening. 7 p.m. June 5 at the Harvard Exit; 3:30 p.m. June 7 at Pacific Place. — J.H.
'Helicopter Mom' ★★½
At its worst, this comedy about sexual identity recalls the crassness of Jane Fonda's "Monster-in-Law." At best, which is almost often enough, it's a surprisingly insightful account of a 17-year-old Southern California boy who refuses to bow to the pressure of peers and adults who want him to conform by coming out of the closet. Jason Dolley brings warmth and ambiguity to the role, and Mark Boone Junior is charming as his aging-hippie dad. Dolley will attend the first screening, along with director Salomé Breziner and producer Stephen Israel. 7 p.m. June 4 at the Egyptian; 4 p.m. June 5 at the Egyptian.
'Hellion' ★★★
The title character is Jacob Wilson, a 13-year-old Texas rebel with a cause. His sainted mother has died, his troubled father has gone off the deep end and Jacob has become increasingly protective of his younger brother. The script piles on the melodramatic touches (yes, there's a foreclosure in the works), but intense performances by Aaron Paul (who also co-produced) and Josh Wiggins (a teenager in his film debut) make the estrangement of father and son compelling. Director Kat Candler is scheduled to attend both screenings. 9:45 p.m. May 30 at Pacific Place; 3:30 p.m. May 31 at Pacific Place. — J.H.
'Ivory Tower' ★★★
Previously at SIFF with "Page One: Inside The New York Times," documentarian Andrew Rossi returns with an exhaustive look at the crisis in higher learning. Using the recent sit-ins at Cooper Union (then one of the last remaining free colleges) as a central thread, the film explores tuition cost, crippling loans, the low four-year graduation rate, the trend toward elaborate (and costly) student facilities, the online course option and, ultimately, the question "is college worth it?" Timely, fascinating and filled with trenchant statistics, this one will have audiences talking long afterward. Rossi will attend both screenings. 1:15 p.m. June 1 at Pacific Place; 7 p.m. June 2 at Pacific Place. — M.M.
'The Internet's Own Boy' ★★★½
Fascinating, maddening and ultimately tragic, Brian Knappenberger's thorough, straightforward documentary outlines the brief life and many accomplishments of Internet prodigy and visionary Aaron Swartz. We see home movies of a bright little boy, hear his brother explain how Aaron developed an early version of Wikipedia at the age of 12, and listen as friends and colleagues describe his remarkable intellect and technical imagination — which led, ultimately, to government prosecution and suicide at 26. "I want to make the world a better place," he once wrote; words that now echo sadly. Knappenberger will attend both screenings. 3 p.m. May 31 at Kirkland Performance Center; 5 p.m. June 1 at Harvard Exit. — M.M.
'Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter' ★★½
A desperate character becomes so obsessed with an obviously worthless paper "treasure" that she's willing to go on a road trip to find it. That may sound like a female version of "Nebraska," and when it's funny "Kumiko" dips into a similar vibe. The script has its ups and downs, but Rinko Kikuchi, who was nominated for an Oscar for playing the mute teenage Tokyo girl in "Babel," is a deadpan wonder as the socially inept heroine. Director David Zellner is scheduled to attend both screenings. 7 p.m. June 1 at the Egyptian; 4 p.m. June 2 at the Egyptian. — J.H.
'Lilting' ★★★
Movies about grief are often accused of tearjerking. Director Hong Khaou deftly dodges the problem by taking a non-chronological narrative approach that makes visions and memories in this film about early death seem to be happening almost simultaneously. Ben Whishaw, the star of the British television series "The Hour," reveals a tender side here that seems entirely new. The love scenes helped earn the film a Sundance cinematography award. The director is scheduled to attend both screenings. 7 p.m. May 30 at the Harvard Exit; 2 p.m. May 31 at the Egyptian. — J.H.
'Obama Mama' ★★½
She was one of those people who "blows wind on the wings of others," we're told in Vivian Norris' admiring documentary about President Obama's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham. Though the film feels a bit stretched out (you see the same few photographs of Dunham, over and over), and the absence of direct participation by Dunham's two children is felt, it's nonetheless a thoughtful exploration of an unusual life. A brief portrait of life in 1950s Mercer Island, where Dunham spent her teenage years, will be of especial interest here. Norris is scheduled to attend both screenings. 6 p.m. May 31 at Kirkland Performance Center; 11 a.m. June 1 at the Harvard Exit. — M.M.
'The Pawnbroker' ★★★
Rod Steiger gave his most powerful performance in this art-house breakthrough from the mid-1960s. Controversial for director Sidney Lumet's stark glimpses of the Holocaust, it concentrates on the shattered state of mind of a camp survivor who spends his days in postwar East Harlem. Boris Kaufman's crisp black-and-white cinematography will presumably be well-served by a new 35mm print. Quincy Jones, honored this year at SIFF, did the score. 7 p.m. June 3 at the Harvard Exit.— J.H.
'Red Knot' ★★★
Set on a research vessel headed for Antarctica, Scott Cohen's romantic drama follows a young married couple (Vincent Kartheiser, Olivia Thirlby) on a not-very-happy honeymoon. It's a brief, quiet film, with a few too-obvious metaphors — a marriage encountering rough waters, unexpected glaciers, trouble navigating — and perhaps not quite enough said. But it's beautifully shot, making artful use of the dazzling scenery and moody grays, and Kartheiser and Thirlby winningly convey the blissful ups and aching downs of young love. Cohen is scheduled to attend both screenings. 6 p.m. May 31 at Uptown; 2:30 p.m. June 1 at Uptown.— M.M.
'Sam & Amira' ★★★½
"New York, New York, it's a helluva town" all over again in this ambitious, spirited melting-pot comedy drama about immigration, surveillance overkill, Wall Street corruption and the notion that the country lost its mind after 9/11. Martin Starr (Gilfoyle on "Silicon Valley") is perfectly cast as a miraculously unscathed soldier who served several tours of duty in Iraq and falls for an illegal immigrant who doesn't approve of his mission. Under writer-director Sean Mullin, everything clicks. This is the world premiere. Starr will appear at the first screening; Mullin will attend both screenings. 9 p.m. May 30 at the Uptown; 11:30 a.m. May 31 at the Uptown. — J.H.
'Seeds of Time' ★★★
Cary Fowler's strong immune system has resisted cancer many times since doctors first handed him a death sentence at 22. As a result, he's become "a little bit impatient about wasting time," especially when the chief time-waster is politically motivated resistance to climate change. His troubling documentary, "Seeds of Time," may sound like another nonfiction disaster epic preaching to the choir, but his specialty is food security — and a dreaded "perfect storm" that could lead to starvation for millions. He eloquently makes his point. Fowler and director Sandy McLeod will attend the first screening. Noon June 1 at the Uptown; 6 p.m. June 2 at the Uptown. — J.H.
'The Stunt Man' ★★★½
All but abandoned by its studio, this unique 1980 showbiz comedy found a home at SIFF and at the Guild 45th, where it played for nearly a year. Bolstered by its success here, the film's fans and publicists rallied around it and managed to land three Oscar nominations: best actor (Peter O'Toole as an extremely eccentric movie director), best director (Richard Rush) and best screenplay adaptation (by Rush and Lawrence B. Marcus, based on Paul Brodeur's novel). Surely O'Toole would have won if the Oscar hadn't gone to Robert De Niro ("Raging Bull"). Rush is scheduled to attend the screening. 1:30 p.m. June 1 at the Harvard Exit. — J.H.
'The Trip to Italy' ★★★
Sequels have become weekly events, and so, it seems, have self-mocking opening sequences to follow-up films. "Muppets Most Wanted" introduced itself with a musical number that questioned whether sequels are necessary. "The Trip to Italy," a sequel to 2011's "The Trip," has some fun comparing itself to the Holy Grail of No. 2 films, "The Godfather Part II." What follows is pretty much the same formula: a demonstration of the improvisational one-upsmanship chemistry between Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, who once more impersonate various celebrities (Michael Caine is a target again). But the scenery is prettier. 4:30 p.m. May 30 at the Uptown; 8 p.m. May 31 at the Uptown. — J.H.
America Ferrera co-produced this well-acted American independent drama about busted-up relationships and revenge sex. She also plays Silvia, a workaholic who's tough on her co-workers and even tougher on her longtime lover, Mark (Ferrera's talented husband, Ryan Piers Williams, who also wrote and directed). The result sometimes plays like "Six Characters in Search of a Movie," but Williams' exploration of a fluid approach to sexuality results in some startling and affecting moments. Williams will attend both screenings; Ferrera is scheduled for the June 1 screening. 6:30 p.m. June 1 at Pacific Place; 4:15 p.m. June 2 at Pacific Place. — J.H.
'Yves Saint Laurent' ★★★
It's not a documentary but a dramatic take on the life of the legendary fashion designer, with French actor Pierre Niney donning the trademark spectacles in the title role. I could have done with a little less melodrama and a few more outfits, but the fashion we see is pure pleasure (the Mondrian colorblock dress; the "Le Smoking" women's tuxedo; the Cossack look). And Niney does well in conveying YSL's constant transformations, from gawky young man to quirky, confident celebrity to ever-smoking, nervous wraith. 8:30 p.m. May 30 at Kirkland Performance Center; 6:30 p.m. May 31 at Pacific Place. — M.M.

The Woodsman's Babe takes us on the road in his"Red Or White" video.
Any metalheads (former or current) in the room? If so, you might recognize Los Angeles native and multi-instrumentalist Joe Lengson as the former bassist of Christian metalcore troupe MyChildren MyBride (I know, riiiight?). You may ALSO recognize Joe as a former mtvU personality (!). OR maybe you've thumbed through Lengson's memoir, "Sleeping In Parking Lots." In short, Lengson's all over the darn place, in trade and in musical genres. Nowadays, the former metal musician/VJ/writer has traded metal riffs for beards and knitted caps in his solo project, The Woodsman's Babe: a pastoral, Fleet Foxes-meets-Bon Iver-sounding project that's just released its latest video for "Red Or White."
Watch The Woodsman's Babe's "Red Or White" video after the jump.
Opening to shots of guitars and recording studio soundboards, "Red Or White" is a behind-the-scenes look into the songwriting, touring, and being-a-long-haired-musician process; it's a homemade-looking compilation of clips featuring Lengson strumming on his acoustic guitar, planning out song structures on a whiteboard, walking through his tour bus, traveling through cities, and just generally looking pensive and filled with ideas. "Red Or White"'s finely layered "whoa-oh-oh" harmonies accompany the DIY, Instagrammy clip, so soft and genuine, that just for a moment it feels like we're on the road and growing our hair (and beards) out with Lengson. Choose "Red Or White" below.
