Internal users are too often treated by some fleet managers as a captive audience that can be dictated to and shown little respect; however, it is important to remember the reason your fleet department exists is to support user departments. You are the business partner of these departments that rely upon you to provide superb customer service to help them fulfill their daily tasks.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Hello, it is cheaper often to get just the needed shots but often vets have a "puppy package" which includes basic shots,flea medication as well as a couple other company sponsored products. Ours was around $65 but of course it depends on the vet.
(Be sure you find out exactly what kind of shots your pup has already been given(write it down & take it with you) so your vet gives only the needed shot.)
We found this package very helpful and the confidence that the dog was given a good start in life was a comfort too.
This is a really good site that actually explains what dogs need and why.
Has Your Puppy Had His Shots? - PetPlace.com
Call around and find either a place to give the basic shots or someone who gives this "puppy package" ,compare rates because all vets are not the same.
We saved $10 on our visit just comparing two vets in our town . Every penny saved is important as long as you're getting quality service which we did.
Estimated cost factors are given at this Kansas City site below as well as the individual list of shots:
Heart of America Humane Society - Resources - Downloads!
This next site gives you an idea what to expect when you visit the vet so you are prepared.Your vet can probably mail you the forms to prepare before the visit if you ask otherwise just show up a few minutes early to do the paperwork.

The New Jersey State Police would like to permanently relocate one of the state's medevac helicopter units to Somerset Airport (SMQ), near the middle of the northern half of the Garden State. But Bedminster township committeeman Kurt Joerger vehemently opposes relocating the helicopter to his district from the roof of a Newark hospital. Joerger is passionate enough that, before running for office, he established a citizens' group to oppose the move.
After being elected in a disputed vote, Joerger wrote to acting governor Richard Codey in February, calling the helicopter an "unlawful, unwarranted and unnecessary intrusion into the rural region that surrounds the airport." (Joerger recently bought a 175-acre horse farm near the airport.)
The state police, which operates two medevac Sikorsky S-76s covering the state, has temporary facilities in place at Somerset and says the new location provides much faster access to more territory. That theory appears to have been borne out on April 8, when the Sikorsky responded to a call to help a factory worker in Somerville who had been badly burned in an industrial accident. The owner of the company is committeeman Joerger.
Responding to the call, the helicopter was on the scene in about one minute, according to police, while it would have taken 20 minutes to get there from its previous base–a potentially life-threatening difference. Terry Hoben, air medical coordinator for the state police, commented, "We've said in the past that [opponents of the medevac relocation] don't quite understand until they have a need. I wonder if what we've talked about in the past has become a reality." At press time, the 41-year-old worker was in critical but stable condition.

Montanye Article
from Cutters
Dr. Johannes Mounies de la Montanye was born in Saintonge, France, 1595. He married Rachel De Forest, at Leyden, December 12, 1626. He came to Harlem in 1637, took up Montanye Flats, was secretary of the Harlem Colony, and later was in command at Fort Orange (now Albany), as vice-director, until 1664, when possession was taken by the British. He died in Holland, in 1670, having gone there with Governor Stuyvesant, after the British occupation of New York.
(II) Jan (or John), son of Dr. Johannes Mounies de la Montanye, came to Harlem soon after his father, and entered business with Vincent Pikes. He returned to Holland and married Peternella Pikes there, about 1654. Returned to New York in 1655, and soon after settled in Harlem and took up Montanye Point; was secretary and teacher at Harlem until his death, in 1672. His first wife died and he married (second) Maria Vermilye, June 10, 1661.
(III) Vincent, son of Jan or John Montanye, was born in Harlem, New York, 1657. He married, March 5, 1684, Adriana, daughter of Jan Thomas Aken. He was living in 1713, but died soon after.
(IV) Thomas, son of Vincent Montanye, born 1691, was shopkeeper in New York; lived and died in Prince street, New York; his death occurring October 12, 1761. He married, November 25, 1718, Rebecca Bruyn; she survived him; they had fifteen children.
(V) John T., son of Thomas Montanye, was born 1743; lived in New York on the breaking out of the war of the revolution. He married Mary Blain.
(VI) Peter, son of John T. Montanye, later called also Mintonye, born in New York, in 1775, with brothers, Isaac and Jacob, came to Western New York. Peter settled in Dryden, but later in Sempromius, New York, and died there, in 1856. He married ______ ________.
(VII) William, youngest son of Peter Montanye, was born in Dryden, New York, May 24, 1808; died in Florida, in 1880. His education was received in common schools; he learned the carriage maker's trade in Dryden, New York, and carried on wagon making, and later was a merchant in Freetown, New York, up to 1865, when he removed to Cortland, New York. He was supervisor of Freetown during the war, and for some years previous as a member of county board of supervisors. During the war he was active in enlisting men for the service and keeping up supplies for them. He married Betsey Fuller, daughter of Eleazer Fuller, of Freetown, a descendant of the Fullers who came to Plymouth in the "Mayflower." Here the name began to be "Mantanye." Children: 1. Cornelius, married J.H. Delavan, she died August, 1907. 2. William Jameson, see forward. 3. Austin F., living at present time.
(VIII) William Jameson, son of William Mantanye, was born at Freetown, Cortland county, New York, October 17, 1843. He remained at Freetown until the civil war. He attended the district school, and after he was twelve years old worked on a farm every summer. As a student he was quick to learn, and he was a great reader. In the fall of 1859, and again in 1860, he attended the Homer Academy, then one of the most famous schools in the state. In the winter of 1860-61, he taught school in the lumbering district, on the north fork of the Cowanesque, near Westfield, Tioga county, Pennsylvania, where a brother of his father resided, returning to farm work in the spring, intending to resume study at Homer the following autumn. But the civil war broke out that spring, and, after the disaster at Bull Run and on the first call for three years troops, he enlisted in Company D, Seventy-sixth New York infantry, at the age of seventeen, and served through the war at the front in the Army of the Potomac. He was wounded at second Bull Run, August 29, 1862, but not seriously, and returned to his regiment next day. At Gettsburg he was taken prisoner, July 1, 1863, and paroled on the field July 4, but as the government held the parole to be illegal he soon after returned to his company without exchange. In the fall of 1863 he was called to Washington to take a commission in the First Regiment of the United States Colored Troops, then being organized, but concluding he was not suited for the position, being then only nineteen years of age, he declined it and returned to his company. In January, 1864, he reenlisted as a veteran volunteer in his old company, and in October, 1864, on the expiration of the term of the regiment, he was transferred to the One Hundred and Forty-seventh New York, thence to the Ninety-first New York, from which he was discharged, July 3, 1865, by reason of the close of the war. Thus he served nearly four years, first in the First Army Corps, under Reynolds and Doubleday, until that corps was destroyed at Gettysburg, where the Seventy-sixth New York, leading the Corps, opened the battle with the First Infantry fire. After that he served in the Fifth Corps, of which the remnant of the old First Corps formed the Third Division, and he was present at the surrender of Lee, April 9, 1865. During his army service, and particularly while in winter quarters, Mr. Mantanye continued his study and reading, and he also kept a diary which has since been used by writers on army life. On his return from the army, in 1865, Mr. Mantanye came to Cortland, his father having that year removed to Cortland. He entered on the study of law with Hon. Arthur Holmes, then one of the leading lawyers of the county. In May, 1867, he was admitted to the bar at Binghamton, and soon after commenced the practice of law, which he has ever since continued. Before his admission he had committed the code of procedure to memory, and he has always been an authority on practice, frequently consulted by other lawyers. In May, 1869, he removed to Marathon and opened an office, continuing practice there until 1888, when he removed to Cortland, which has since been his residence.
Mr. Mantanye has been a prominent Republican all his life, casting his first vote for Lincoln, in 1864, at the age of twenty-one, sending it from the front. He supported Horace Greeley, in 1872, as a Republican and one of the founders of the party, still holding to that party, and refusing to pass over to the opposite side, as so many did. His father was of the "Free Soil" party that supported Birney, in 1848, and John P. Hale, in 1852, and which, by the accession of Whigs in 1854-55, became the Republican party. In the first Republican campaign, in 1856, though only thirteen years of age, he was a leader in a band of boys at Freetown, organized into a "Fremont and Dayton" marching club, having a liberty pole and flag of its own in front of his father's wagon works. The flag is still retained as an interesting relic. After the war he was active in the party, frequently a delegate to state conventions, and a member of the Republican county committee, and a popular leader. In 1882-83 he was a member of the Republican state committee from the Onondaga, Cortland district, and of the executive committee of the state organization. He was never a seeker for office for himself, and never was a candidate until 1893, when, without any previous canvass, he was nominated as a delegate to the constitutional convention of 1894, from the twenty-fifth senate district, then composed of Cortland, Broome, Tioga, Chenango and Delaware counties, and was elected. In that convention he was prominent as a speaker and worker, and was a member of the important committee on powers and duties of the legislature, and on county and town offices. He introduced some amendments which were adopted, and two that were not finally adopted, but eventually will be a part of the organic law. One of these was to make the term of office of governor and lieutenant governor four years, and make them ineligible to election for the next succeeding term. This was at first agreed to in committee, but later was defeated. The other was a provision for biennial sessions of the legislature—No. 83 on the file. It was at first adopted by the committee, as appears by convention document No. 22, but later a rally of the politicians caused its defeat. In 1897 it was, on the suggestion of Governor Black, introduced in the legislature and passed, but failed in the legislature of 1898. He also advocated the amendment as to employment of convicts in penal institutions, forbidding their labor being sold out to contractors, and it was adopted. In June, 1895, Mr. Mantanye was appointed, by Governor Morton, as a member of the state commission of prisons, created by the constitution of 1894, with jurisdiction over all penal institutions, and having the duty of reporting a system for the employment of convicts under the revised constitution. Mr. Mantanye was at once elected vice-president of the commission, and reelected in 1896. As he was the only member who had given the subject previous study he was made chairman of the committee on annual report to formulate the new system. This he did in such a careful and reasonable way that the report was adopted by the commission and handed to the legislature of 1896. He was then put upon the committee on legislation, and had charge of the drafting and introduction of the proposed laws in accordance with the report. These laws changing the prison Labor system, with some amendments to the county law and penal code, were explained to the legislature by Mr. Mantanye and were enacted. By these laws the taking of convicts from without the state by penitentiaries to board was ended and the different institutions were relegated to their original purposes by requiring felons to be sent to the reformatory and state prisons, and misdemeanants to the jails, penitentiaries and houses of refuge. The labor of convicts is also to be utilized in producing supplies for the public institutions, so that the state has the full value of the labor in reduction of taxation, instead of selling it out to syndicates for small prices and thus enabling them to carry on a ruinous competition with industries of free labor. The system has proved successful, and is being adopted in other states. Great improvement was made in jails, penitentiaries and other prisons. The prisoners were classified and graded as required bv the law of 1889, with a view of introducing the reformatory system in the state prisons, which makes good citizens of law breakers, instead of putting them into a permanent criminal class, as under the old system. Mr. Mantanye continued as chairman of the committee on annual report of the commission, and drew the report for 1898, presented to the legislature of 1899. It was an interesting document, giving a retrospect of the conditions existing when the commission was appointed and of the many improvements and economies since inaugurated and carried on at the instance of the commission. To Mr. Mantanye, more than to any other one person, is owing the great reforms put in successful operation in the prison system of the state, and which are being copied in other states and countries. Yet he is modest and unassuming, claiming no special credit or honor for himself, but giving it all to the commission.
Since 1901, when he retired from the commission of prisons, he has devoted his time to his law practice, which is large, particularly in caring for and settling estates. While often consulted in party matters and having large influence he has retired from more active political work, feeling that forty years of activity has earned for him a rest. Mr. Mantanye is a member of the Tioughnioga Club; secretary of the Association of the Seventy-sixth Regiment, New York Volunteers, and was the first colonel of the Cortland Encampment of the Union Veteran Legion, of which he is still a member, and a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, Grover Post, No. 98, Cortland, New York.

County fair opens today
Today marks the opening of the 123rd Becker County Fair.
The fairgrounds have been transformed in preparation for guests to begin arriving, and fair board members have planned four days full of activities. Each day will give guests a unique experience with a different theme.
"It's a lot of work, but it's a lot of fun," said Fair Board President Bob Sonnenberg about getting everything organized for the event.
Sonnenberg heads up a 14-member board which is responsible for everything from booking entertainment to figuring out parking logistics, and this year they hope the event will be better than ever.
Today is Entry Day, as participants in a myriad of events travel to the fairgrounds to register their animals, produce and projects of all shapes and sizes. Judging will begin today and continue through Friday.
Exhibition buildings will be open to the public during the fair to come and peruse all the projects local competitors have been working hard to prepare.
Thursday is Senior Citizens Day, with the Outstanding Senior Citizen Awards Program taking place under the Big Tent at 1:15 p.m. That evening, the Miss and Jr. Miss Becker County Fair pageant will take place at 6:30 p.m.
Friday will be Kids Day, with plenty of activities hosted to engage the little ones. Local 4-H students will also be on hand to present on their projects.
"Learning takes place on both sides," said Kari Sayer, 4-H coordinator for Becker County in reference to the event.
The kids get a first-hand look at the animals and projects, while 4-H'ers put their public speaking skills to the test explaining all the different projects and activities they've been involved with for this year's fair.
Pony rides, a puppet show and kids games under the big tent will also be held during the afternoon.
A demolition derby, always a draw for crowds, Sonnenberg said, will be held later Friday evening. That event begins at 7 p.m.
Saturday is Family Day. The morning begins with the annual Market Auction Bidders Breakfast in the 4-H kitchen, followed by a round-robin showmanship contest for both FFA and 4-H participants.
The afternoon includes pony rides, plus a fashion revue and entertainment from comedian Jerry Frasier and musician Mike Hokanson under the Big Tent. Another demolition derby will begin at 7 p.m.
The midway opens up at 1 p.m. each afternoon on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
A button drawing will take place each night during the fair, starting at 9:45 p.m. under the Big Tent.
Additionally, the Natural Resources Building will be hosting events all throughout the fair for kids and families.
A full schedule of fair events can be found online at beckercountyfair.tripod.com.

The stuff kids really need for high school
Here are some easy tips to help you upgrade your childs supplies for high school. more
The pre-teen years are about seeing the 'big picture' and working out how s/he fits into it. Your child may use these years to test his or her boundaries, which may result in some 'talking back' and general discord at home. Pre-teens are usually interesting people to spend time with as they are developing views about their world that they are keen to express - and you may be surprised at the level of sophistication in their thinking.
Most will view starting high school as the next big step in their lives, and your child may become quite serious and focussed about their schoolwork.
The parent-child relationship starts to undergo great change during these years, with the boundaries being constantly redrawn and renegotiated to take into account your child's developing maturity and independence.
At this age, boys generally move away from the close relationship they've had with their mother, while girls move away from their father, both looking for a nurturing relationship with the same sex parent. Difficulties can sometimes arise in one parent families when the distance between mother and son, or father and daughter, cannot be offset by the closeness of that child with the other parent. If you are a single parent, it's worth investing in relationships with extended family or close family friends so that you can get both the support you need, and provide a range of other people your child can form relationships with.
Although your pre-teen may need more personal space, don't mistake her distance with disinterest. To develop the self-confidence and high self-esteem she'll need to get her through adolescence without too many scars, she needs to feel safe and secure and to know that your love is unconditional (especially if you feel it's being tested to its very limit).

BONN (Sep. 10)
Israel's Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan ended his talks here tonight. Observers agreed that the differences of opinion between Bonn and Jerusalem are not resolved entirely but that they are by far not as dramatic as they appeared.
Dayan arrived here yesterday and had a first, unofficial round of talks with Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher and a visit to the Jewish community in Cologne. This morning, he and Genscher discussed the Middle East situation for three hours. Following that, there was a long meeting between Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and Israel's Foreign Minister.
Genscher informed his colleague at length about Bonn's diplomatic offensive in the Middle East, urging Arab unity as a prerequisite for further peace efforts to which the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty was only a first step toward a comprehensive peace.
Bonn diplomats stated that there was no expectation that agreement could be reached on all differences of opinion with Israel. But obviously, some progress was made. A communique issued after the three-hour talks said they had been good, worth while and very constructive. Both sides explained their position. Genscher assured Dayan that Bonn would support all efforts toward a comprehensive, just and lasting peace. It was stressed here that Genscher used the same arguments in his talks with Dayan that he used during his visits to seven Arab nations in the past few months.
Dayan expressed concern that Bonn has departed from its balanced Middle East policy and moved closer to the Arab side. There was–and still is–irritation in Israel over some of Genscher's remarks, over the meeting between Social Democratic leader Willy Brandt with PLO leader Yasir Arafat in Vienna and a Beirut visit by the Liberal foreign policy spokesman Juergen Moellemann during which he talked to Arafat and other PLO. leaders.
In his talks with Schmidt, Dayan raised the question of the Chancellor's postponed visit to Israel. Schmidt said earlier that it would only be useful if it was accepted as a contribution to secure peace in the Middle East. Observers here agreed that Dayan presented his government's criticism in a diplomatic manner though in the tough style he is known for it was agreed however that he was not interested in worsening German-Israeli relations. As he said before the talks, West Germany is not pursuing a policy directed against Israel.
Genscher assured Dayan that Israel could rely on the Germans but added that unpleasant realities must also be discussed among friends. Sources here said Genscher pleaded for Palestinian self-determination and referred to European Economic Community criticism of the Israeli settlement policy and the military raids on southern Lebanon. Dayan will and his visit to Bann with a news conference tomorrow morning.

PLANETS TO VIEW: The morning sky still has the two best planets right now. Jupiter rises a little before midnight and is south as dawn sets in. Venus, far brighter than Jupiter, rises about 3:30 a.m. and dominates the dawn sky.
Meanwhile, Saturn and Mars linger in the evening twilight but are hard to spot. Mercury is out of sight.
Much harder to spot is fifth-magnitude Uranus, which will be at opposition in Pisces Friday and Saturday.
However, the full moon will be in the same neighborhood at the same time. The upshot is that if you don't have a telescope the size of the Guns of Navarone, you won't see Uranus this week.
THE MOON becomes full Saturday, completing a week in which its brightness plays havoc with serious stargazers. For farmers, however, this full moon has special significance.
The full moon closest to the autumnal equinox is commonly called the Harvest Moon, a reference to the usefulness of its light to farmers trying to bring in crops even without daylight.
The full moon after the Harvest Moon - the one always relatively close to Halloween - is commonly called the Hunter's Moon.
DID YOU KNOW? Pop standard "Shine On, Harvest Moon" debuted in 1908 as a vaudeville song. Many younger people are familiar with the version sung by Leon Redbone.

'Gorilla' escapes during Japan zoo drill
TOKYO -- A Japanese zoo staged an emergency drill on Thursday, simulating a scenario in which the zoo's gorillas escape following an earthquake.
Dressed in a gorilla-like costume, one member of staff ran through the zoo before being overwhelmed by other zoo workers with nets and 'sedated'.
More than 150 members of staff were joined by members of local police and fire departments during the escape drill at Ueno Zoo in Tokyo.
Toshimitsu Doi, the zoo's director, said the drill was successful and stressed the importance of being preparing for the unexpected.
"When you're doing everyday work as part of a routine, you forget what it's like when something out of the ordinary happens," he said. "It's important to take these opportunities to remember what needs to be done."
The Ueno Zoo has had escape scares in the past, the most recent being a monkey that escaped from its enclosure in 2010.
It holds "animal escape" drills every two years. Previous drills have included the simulated escapes of a rhinoceros and a tiger.

Sound — 10
His Name Was Yesterday's self titled full length opens with hard hitting, mosh friendly "Where It Ends" displaying extraordinary guitar work by guitarists Ron Lepine and Andy Watts, brutal drum beating courtesy of Mike Kauffman, powerful screams induced by John Green and Charlie Beyer hamming it up on bass. In my opinion, this is the perfect track to open this astounding album with. There are angry tunes on this album, as well as mellow tunes. His Name Was Yesterday shows their true talent by being completely spine-crushing heavy at times, as well as being harmonious and symphonic at times. The opening riff in "Killshed" screams "this is going to be a real heavy track" and it sure does live up to that. There are a countless number of creative riffs and solos throughout the record, and drum fills are absolutely flawless. The sound and music of this record astonishes me to no end beyond what I can explain.
Lyrics — 10
Singer John Green exhibits phenomenal emotion with eloquent lyrics throughout the record, for example, in the radio-friendly, mellifluous track "Again and Again", lyrics such as "This fate seems empty yet again, I climb from where I fell, I won't live in this hell, I will overcome again and again"...shows that Green is pouring his heart out in the best way he can, with his lyrics. My personal favorite track on the album, "In Hell" begins with a familiar guest vocalist, Joe Cafarella of Niagara Falls legends, STEMM. The Green and Cafarella duo works out fantastically as it starts off with Cafarella "I've built my life from nothing" and Green finishing off "And I've given everything". The track is filled with similar 'take-turn' verses. Throughout the whole album, I am seriously beyond impressed by how well the music fits the lyrics. It's similar to a puzzle, the puzzle board are the lyrics, and the puzzle pieces are the guitars, drums and bass. In conclusion, the puzzle looks quite amazing when finished.

This album is absolutely an album the world should hear. In no way is His Name Was Yesterday a "generic metal" band. His Name Was Yesterday doesn't fit in a specific genre, nor do they generalize themselves. They demonstrate their musical abilities with such magnitude and glory, they are undefinable. If you like variety with an insane amount of talent, listen to this album. With heavy, brutal tracks such as "Killshed", "Where It Ends", "Strength in Separation", "Echoes of the Past", and melodic, passion tracks "Again and Again", "No More Tomorrow", and "Goodbye to Yesterday", there's something for everyone on this album. Caution while listening to "Killshed", you might get a sudden urge to headbang excessively. In closing, do not underestimate His Name Was Yesterday. If you listen to their EP, "Witness To A Dying World", you may ask yourself, "Wow! Is that the same band?" They have grown tremendously in an indescribable way. They're on the right path to success, and will only continue to gain fans and gratitude around the world. As the music industry is declining and lacking in talent, hard work and heart in today's day and age, His Name Was Yesterday is a true gem in the music world, exposing true and real talent, unbelievable work ethic and truly putting their heart and soul into this record and what they do.

Hi I am scheduled to have my nose done in about a month, I can't even begin to describe how nervous I am and have even been rethinking this decision. my family thinks I'm crazy for considering it in the first place but its something I've wanted ever since high school. My biggest fear is that my expectations might be too high and I won't be happy with the results but I'm paying all this money so expectations should be high right??
Excited but Scared...- Atlanta, GA
Hi I am scheduled to have my nose done in about a...
Preop pics
Preop pics
Ok so idk what happened to my preop pics but here are a few...I'm having surgery in exactly a week and am still soooo nervous.
Day after..
so far I'm feeling good..it looks worse than it is, I have just about everything on my face-cast, tape, drip pad..but I'm not having any pain and so glad I finally got this done! My WHOLE face is swollen even my lips but I know all that will eventually go down. I go back to the dr on Monday so hopefully he removes the cast then.
Day after pic
Cast off
Today I went to go get my cast taken off!! So far I'm very happy with my results, he said I still have a lot of swelling and alot of it will go down within the next couple of weeks. Right now my nose is taped til Thursday..so glad I got all that stuff taken off!!
Tape off!!
Today I got the tape taken off my nose..it's REALLY swollen. Everyone says it looks the same just the skin looks more smooth but I can tell a difference. I look so awkward right now, but it still looks better than my old nose did..I know it takes patience so I will be patiently waiting for the swelling to go down. The left side of my face is still more swollen than the right side so face looks kinda crooked.
Nostrils and side
So I dolled myself up alil lol I think I'll like the result once everything heals and swelling goes down :-)
Day 10
I'm amazed at how my nose is changing daily, I can already see a difference than how it looked yesterday. Swelling is down alittle but still a working progress, I'm so glad I found this site because I know I wouldn't of been prepared for this process had I not read about other peoples experience. It's getting better by the day.
Looking better
Swelling has gone down a lot in a week!! I'm loving my nose more and more by the day, and everyone says it looks just like my old nose but smaller, people who don't know about it haven't mentioned anything about me looking different which is good..its crazy how changing one little thing gave me so much more confidence in myself!!!
So far the staff has been really nice and reassuring, I've heard only good things about Dr. Z so that helps ease my nerves.

Join Our Family.
What makes CrossFit Signal Hill different from all the other CrossFit gyms in the area? It's our Community! It is the major ingredient to our success. The desire and commitment to get better is the common bond that makes the blood, sweat and hard work all worthwhile. Come see what CrossFit Signal Hill has to offer. We promise we won't disappoint you!
Our Members Love Us.
The main thing I like about being here is our sense of community. We're all just a huge family.
It's hard work, there's no doubt about that, but to be in an environment like this of basically friends it makes it a lot easier.
Currently we are halfway through our fifth year here at CrossFit Signal Hill. When myself and the coaches started the gym in June 2011 we rented the smallest unit in the business park and we literally had no clients.Two of my current coaches Axel and Jaime were interns at the time and not yet CrossFit Certified. Two and half months later we moved into a larger 2000 square foot unit a few doors down. As our membership grew it was apparent we would need to move again which was next door at 3262 East Willow adding another 1000 square feet.
We are now a Community of 120 members who for the most part never knew one another until they came to CFSH. When I hear the question: "What makes CrossFit Signal Hill different from all the other CrossFit gyms in the area?" My response: it is our Community! It is the major ingredient to our success. Our members are from all walks of life and they all share the same attribute: which is how can I improve myself and better my lifestyle. The desire and commitment to get better is the common bond that makes the blood, sweat and hard work all worthwhile.
Come see what CrossFit Signal Hill has to offer. We promise we won't disappoint you!

In my first 2 years of college I played football at Willamette University in Oregon and at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, and in my final years of college I finished by playing rugby for CSULB. Since I graduated with my Bachelors in Kinesiology in December 2014, I've now been working full time at CrossFit signal Hill and I am privileged to be part of such a great community. I first started CrossFit in 2011 when I started playing rugby for Cal State Long Beach and Phil Sarris was the team's strength and conditioning coach. After a semester I was able to gain an internship at CrossFit Signal Hill when the doors first opened and have luckily been with the gym ever since. What I love most about CrossFit is that it is all-inclusive and benefits anyone who is willing to be humble and work hard. I always get a ton of gratification every time I see someone PR in something! I also love food so feel free to bring me some! Auraiiiiii!!!!
Jaime Bigornia – Certified CrossFit Level 1 Trainer
Jaime was born and raised in the Philippines and moved to Long Beah, CA almost 12 years ago along with his family. After a few years to get acclimated with his new surroundings and culture, he attended Long Beach Polytechnic High School, where he discovered his desire to compete in athletics, playing badminton, wrestling, and eventually finding his love of rugby.
Because of the team camaraderie and of the fun sport, Jaime joined the Belmont Shore U-19 Youth Rugby Club in 2008. This experience catapulted him into attending California State University Long Beach and joining the school's rugby club there, eventually becoming the Vice President of the rugby club during his senior year. Jaime played as their starting scrum half during his freshman year and he held that position until he graduated in 2013 with a Bachelor's degree in Political Science.
It was during his rugby career where he met Phil Sarris, one of the Strength and Conditioning coaches for the CSULB Rugby Team, and had recruited him into the life of Crossfit. And the rest is history. Jaime has been with Crossfit Signal Hill since its inception and subsequent steady success. Along with Crossfit, Jaime has also developed his skills in Olympic Weightlifting, competing as a 69 kg (151 lb.) lifter and a member of SENSE Gym coached by Nghiep Dinh. Jaime credits most of his success to these two because of their unique methods and coaching. Jaime looks to become competitive in both Crossfit and Olympic Weightlifting but also wants to become the best coach that he can be.

What Is Crossfit?
CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide.
Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.
The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We've used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don't change programs.
The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Our terrorist hunters, skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen.
If you would like to sign-up for any of our membership packages, or if you have any questions or would like to schedule a free consultation, please fill out the form below. We will reach out to you within 24 hours.

This is an edited selection of today's best postings on Street Talk, which is updated throughout the day on AFR.com.
RBC Capital Markets reckons AGL Energy is in the firing line if the Coalition emerges victorious on September 14 and repeals the carbon legislation.
Scrapping the carbon tax could also make compensation worthless, so the 10 million permits AGL's Loy Yang A coal-fired generator is set to receive over the next four years, worth as much as $250 million for financial year 2015, could render the permits worthless, RBC's energy team says.
Given earnings estimates in the market assume the compensation remains, they could be in for a raft of downgrades.
In later years, the permits would be worth less anyway because under the carbon legislation, the price in Australia would then link to the European traded price.
RBC points out that AGL is more leveraged than Origin Energyto federal policy outcomes on both carbon and renewable energy, given its ownership of Loy Yang, and its greater investment in wind energy. Therefore the outcome of the election and the Coalition's policies should be a key driver for AGL's shares over the next 12 months.
The carbon legislation couldn't be immediately repealed a Coalition win in the planned September poll because the Greens hold the balance of power in the Senate and the Senate seats wouldn't change until mid-year 2014.
The most likely timing of the change would be mid-late 2014, RBC says, as the Greens would likely retain control of the Senate until then. As things stand, the Coalition would replace the carbon legislation with its Direct Action policy.
Longer term, however, Loy Yang A would benefit from lower expectations on carbon prices - or no carbon price.
On the renewable front, the outlook is uncertain as although the Coalition has said it intends to retain the 2020 Renewable Energy Target, RBC still sees some risks it will be materially altered. Still, any changes would still need to pass the Senate so are unlikely until mid-late 2014.the most likely risk is that the Coalition would scale back the target to reflect weaker electricity demand.
RBC cut its earnings estimates for AGL by 2-4 per cent over the 2013 to 2015 financial years on a reduced contribution from Loy Yang A and trimmed its price target by $1 to $16 per share.

Education Law
Education Law Questions? Ask an Education Lawyer
It is a public school in Olympia Washington. There was not a police officer present, although the vice principal said that he would later involve the police.
No problem I'll wait
Your answer makes sense; just a little more clarification please.
First of all, understand that the school has the right to discipline students.
Understood, however, none of the alleged harassment took place on school grounds or during school. Again, I may be misreading this, but it would seem that while in this case the school definitely has a duty to "report" the allegation, as it was reported to them, I am still unsure how they have any authority to discipline, for actions to took place outside of their purview?
The QUESTION is in what capacity the school officials were acting at the time of the action. Were they acting as law enforcement officers or as in loco parentis (substitute) parents?
Yes, that does seem to be the question. Does the fact that they accused my son of committing a crime (harassment), and not simply a rule, or policy change the capacity that they were acting in; inst this why we have school resource police officers?
Finally, the agreement he signed is not criminal in nature - this is simply a school disciplinary action, such as a "demerit." It will not be part of any criminal record, etc.
I understand, but concern is that if at some point the young lady or her parents tried to pursue legal action that this document could somehow be used as evidence of guilt.
When a party acts "In Local Parentis", when and in what capacity must the actual parents be notified? We were never informed abount any of this, we got the story of our son when we noticed that his otherwise stellar grades were suffering.
Finally, Ely my wish was for the truth, and that you have given me I would not hold it against you. Your answer's have thoughtful and thorough and you will be rated positively.

This article appeared in the Sunday edition of the Lorain Journal.
Please pay particular attention to what changed this editors mind - the emotion driven hysteria of the gun control side vs solid reasoning on the support for the RKBA side.
I've followed Tom Skoch for a number of years & he's always taken a gun control stance. I give him a lot of credit for having the guts to admit he was wrong.
It's not about guns; it's about keeping control of your life.
The gun control "war" launched against American citizens and the Constitution this past week by the elites in Washington, D.C., is most certainly not about keeping little Bobby and Mary Jane safe in school.
Newtown was the perfect "crisis" that the Obama elites don't want to waste in neutralizing opposition to their transformation of America into a utopian fantasy land. That sort of thing that has always evolved into a fatal disaster throughout the last century.
This past week, with great showmanship, Obama squeezed the kids like triggers; he fired them like little emotional bullets into America's heart to disrupt your ability to think clearly about what is happening to our country.
As a journalist, I lived on the anti-gun side of the national divide for most of my life without questioning. Finally, in editing a daily Opinion page, I saw all the pro- and anti- arguments and statistics. Eventually, the truth became crystal clear: the pro-gun side was right by weight of fact and reason over the anti's torrent of emotion and feelings.

This one is going to be geared more toward children, but according to Brian Ward over on the Shout! Factory forums, it sounds like the next one is going to hopefully have some extra bonus features. His quote:
"We are working on trying to get bonus materials that are both child and friendly onto the disc. This first release may be skewed a little more toward the children, specifically, but only because of the time frame in which we've had to produce the set. Still looking out for fans, though. I'd certainly hope to see some more production-oriented material on the sets in the future.I really appreciate this guy. Very few companies are so open to their customers.
Anyway, go support the show! It's cheaper if you pre-order! The more sales this thing gets, the better off we will be in future releases in terms of exclusive content.

[Sad] This is the last Conversion Bureau fic that we'll be posting. This one comes highly recommended, though.
Author: Windchaser
Description: In the many years after the Conversion Bureaus' shutdown, Twilight Sparkle is tasked by the Princesses with finding the last living human on Earth, Isaac Hamilton, and learning the story of his past. What she hears is a tale of loss, tragedy, joy, and the discovery of one's place in the world. But how much longer would that place last with what Twilight has to tell him?

I have learned from dealing with my ex-girlfriend that the safest thing to do is keep quiet. Your personal feelings don't matter. All that matters is the other person's feelings, and their agenda.
It's my experience that they aren't interested in our feelings. All that matters is that we respect theirs. We don't count; we are simply servants. That's why Wall-e is my avatar.
Remember Wall-e? His only task was to clean up other people's messes, and take out their garbage. He fell in love with EVE and went through hell for her, and she had no idea - she was only bent on her own thing. And all Wall-e wanted out of his whole existence was to hold her hand. I know how that feels.
My dear, you are truly above me. I just ended a relationship with a woman who seemed to think that it was her duty to point out every character flaw that she saw in me, real or imagined. She would do it at the most inappropriate times. Every time I asked her why she felt it necessary to do it, she would reply, "I'm just stating what I think. That's how I am." After three years of it, it destroyed my love for her, but I still enjoyed her companionship. Now, I don't even want that. I just want to be left alone if that's how people are.
You just spoke very wise words when you said, "There is this very common misunderstanding of honesty and integrity, falling it with rudeness!" That is the very way I have been seeking to explain the situation to her. Thank you.
If its the beginning, go take a risk, and tell it.....cross the bridge.....else u might just be alone....
change the way...its your life, its your way...
This is what one should have as attitude
It depends, but saying it is better than keeping it.
Hmmm I don't want to ask, cuz I don't think you would want to say it here in public:)
Usually I'd go with the first, but not if it would harm another person.
Some times telling exact feelings depends on the importance of the issue and the relationship.
Losers can't tell
They probably know anyway , best not to compromise yourself any more than you need to.
telling doesn't necessarily prevent them digging at you heart.
every body else does I may as well join the crowd.
:-) thanks.
I do the latter.

CARLSBAD, Calif., April 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Isis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced today that it has completed a transaction with Symphony Capital Partners, L.P. and a group of co-investors to provide $75 million to fund the development of Isis' cholesterol-lowering drug, ISIS 301012, and two novel drugs from Isis' metabolic disease program. The financing will support ISIS 301012 through the completion of registration-supporting clinical studies in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia and the completion of Phase 2b clinical trials in patients with high cholesterol. The financing will also support development of two novel diabetes drugs through initial proof of concept in human clinical trials. In addition to providing the financial support to move these drugs forward aggressively, the transaction allows Isis to continue to control and manage the development of ISIS 301012 and two other potentially valuable drugs through key development milestones.
Symphony Capital has formed Symphony GenIsis, Inc., capitalized with $75 million, to provide funding for the development of these three drugs in collaboration with Isis. Isis has granted a license to the intellectual property for the three programs to Symphony GenIsis, but retains the exclusive right to reacquire the intellectual property at any time by acquiring all of Symphony GenIsis' equity.
"This transaction with Symphony Capital accelerates and expands our development pipeline and enhances our future economic opportunities in these drugs, while minimizing dilution and financial risk. Symphony Capital will provide the funds necessary to progress ISIS 301012 and two drugs from our exciting diabetes programs through several value inflection points," said B. Lynne Parshall, Executive Vice President and CFO of Isis Pharmaceuticals. "The transaction represents an attractive alternative to partnering these very promising compounds. In contrast to working with a pharmaceutical company, we retain control of development of these drugs and exclusive rights to them. We believe the funding will enable us to create substantial value in these drugs, which should be reflected in our stock price as development progresses. The opportunity to reacquire all rights to these drugs in the future without residual royalty obligations, after using the funding to increase their value, is very attractive. Based on the value we hope to create in these assets, we believe this financing is less dilutive than any alternatives available to us, including corporate partnering, and maximizes value for our shareholders."
"In the process of structuring and completing this transaction, we have had the opportunity to work closely with Symphony and their collaborators at RRD International, a highly respected and experienced drug development group, and we are looking forward to working closely with them to further enhance the value of these assets," Ms. Parshall continued. "We have been remarkably productive over the last two years in populating our pipeline and that of our partners with novel second-generation antisense drugs. Moving attractive drugs forward to key value inflection points is critical to our success, and requires significant financial investment. This transaction represents another example of our strategy to finance our efforts to broaden and strengthen our pipeline while minimizing dilution and risk to our shareholders."
"This transaction supports the development of our most important asset, ISIS 301012, and at the same time broadens our exciting diabetes pipeline. When this collaboration is complete, we expect to have data demonstrating that ISIS 301012 is a novel, safe, and effective drug to treat patients who have familial hypercholesterolemia and plan to register the drug initially for that indication," said Stanley T. Crooke, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer at Isis Pharmaceuticals. "We also expect to have completed a broad Phase 2 program in the general high cholesterol patient population, which will prepare us to initiate Phase 3 trials and to understand the breadth of the potential profile for this drug both as a stand alone drug and as a combination therapy. Already we have seen the potential for significant triglyceride lowering and reduction of the most atherogenic LDL particles. We continue to be pleased with the safety profile the drug is exhibiting. ISIS 301012 is an important asset to Isis and this transaction will provide us with the resources to aggressively move this drug forward to a key value inflection point."
"In addition, this transaction allows us to move two promising earlier stage diabetes drugs into development. These compounds inhibit glucagon receptor and glucocorticoid receptor in the liver and fat tissues, tissues to which antisense oligonucleotides preferentially distribute. With these newly added funds, we expect to move both of these drugs rapidly through proof of concept in man," Dr. Crooke added. "Consistent with our strategy, we have designed initial clinical trials that should provide us with significant information about the therapeutic utility of these drugs. These two projects enhance our strong metabolics pipeline, particularly when added to ISIS 113715, our initial second-generation drug to treat type 2 diabetes. We are completing initial Phase 2 studies with ISIS 113715 and hope to present results at the American Diabetes Association meeting in June."
Isis licensed to Symphony GenIsis the intellectual property for its apoB-100, glucagon receptor (GCGR) and glucocorticoid receptor (GCCR) programs. Isis has received an exclusive purchase option from Symphony GenIsis' investors that will allow Isis to reacquire the intellectual property by purchasing all of Symphony GenIsis' equity at a predetermined price that reflects a compounded annual rate of return that averages 32% and is 27% at the end of the anticipated four-year collaborative development period. The option exercise may be paid in cash or a combination of cash and Isis common stock (up to 33% of the purchase price), at Isis' discretion.
In exchange for the purchase option, Isis granted to Symphony Capital a five-year warrant to purchase 4.25 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.93 per share, a 25% premium over Isis' prior 60 day average trading price, which was $7.14. To compensate Symphony Capital for structuring the transaction and the payment of certain of its expenses, Isis paid a structuring fee of $3.75 million. Isis intends to consolidate the financial results of Symphony GenIsis into its financial statements.
Symphony GenIsis has been capitalized with $75 million from Symphony Capital and a select group of co-investors, and will be used exclusively for the development of ISIS 301012 and drugs from the GCGR and GCCR projects. Symphony GenIsis will be governed by a Board of Directors consisting of Isis, Symphony Capital and independent Board members. The Isis designee will be Dr. Stanley T. Crooke, President and CEO of Isis. The initial Symphony Capital designees will be Neil J. Sandler and Mark Kessel, Managing Directors of Symphony Capital. Symphony GenIsis has selected as its first independent Board member Dr. John Kastelein of the University of Amsterdam, a leading academic clinician in the cardiovascular community. Dr. Kastelein, a professor of medicine and chairman of the department of Vascular Medicine at the University of Amsterdam, is an expert in lipid and protein metabolism, founded the Lipid Research Clinic at the University of Amsterdam, and set up a foundation to identify patients with familial hypercholesterolemia. Symphony GenIsis has retained RRD International, LLC, whose senior executives will serve as Symphony GenIsis' management and will collaborate with Isis to conduct the clinical trials.
ISIS 301012, a second-generation antisense drug, inhibits apoB-100, a protein critical to the synthesis and transport of the "bad" cholesterol involved in heart disease -- low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL). Lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels is a key component in the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease.
In September 2005, Isis initiated the Phase 2 development program of ISIS 301012. Isis is conducting Phase 2 trials of ISIS 301012 in patients with high cholesterol, including a single-agent trial of ISIS 301012 designed to optimize dose and frequency of dosing, and to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of ISIS 301012 in patients with high cholesterol, a Phase 2 trial of ISIS 301012 in combination with statin therapy in patients with high cholesterol, and Phase 2 studies of ISIS 301012 in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic disorder that causes extremely high cholesterol levels and results in the early onset of heart disease.
In Phase 1 trials, ISIS 301012 produced rapid, dose-dependent and prolonged reductions of its target, apoB-100, with concomitant reductions in LDL-C, VLDL, total cholesterol and triglycerides in normal subjects with elevated cholesterol. In a drug-drug interaction study, ISIS 301012 did not interact with simvastatin or ezetimibe, currently available lipid lowering drugs with which ISIS 301012 may be dosed in combination. Additionally, the drug has been well tolerated.
Glucagon receptor (GCGR) is the cellular receptor for glucagon, one of the counter-regulatory hormones that oppose the action of insulin and help maintain normal blood glucose levels. GCGR is mainly expressed in the liver, where it is responsible for initiating the signal that stimulates glucose production. In type 2 diabetes, unopposed action of glucagon can lead to excessive glucose production by the liver, resulting in increased blood glucose levels. Reducing the expression of GCGR using antisense inhibitors can thereby reduce excessive hepatic glucose production, which represents a novel approach to diabetes therapy. GCGR has been very difficult to target with small molecule drugs. Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) distribute preferentially to the liver and fat cells, making them ideal for this therapeutic approach.
Preclinical studies with Isis' ASOs targeting GCGR produced excellent glucose control and reduced levels of blood triglycerides without producing hypoglycemia. In addition, GCGR ASOs increased the levels of circulating active glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), which resulted in preservation of pancreatic function and an improvement in insulin secretion. Data from preclinical studies indicate that the drug could also have disease modifying potential in humans. Based upon these findings, Isis has added ISIS 325568, a generation 2.2 antisense oligonucleotide targeting GCGR, to its development pipeline.
The glucocorticoid receptor (GCCR) is an intracellular protein that serves as the receptor for the steroid hormones of the glucocorticoid (GC) family. Excessive GC action causes a spectrum of clinical features such as obesity, insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. GCs promote breakdown of protein and fat from storage and ultimately result in increased hepatic glucose production. GCs work by binding to GCCR; as a result, reducing GCCR levels should attenuate GC action and have a positive effect on glucose control. While many groups have attempted to develop a GCCR inhibitor for the treatment of metabolic disorders, the side effects that would result from systemic GCCR inhibition, principally in the brain, have hindered progress. Because second- generation ASOs exhibit potent activity in the liver and fat tissues, and not in the brain or adrenals, this potential safety concern is overcome. Thus, antisense technology is ideally suited for liver and fat specific GCCR inhibitor development.
Isis has studied its second-generation ASOs targeting GCCR in multiple animal models. These studies have shown that the ASOs have a very broad therapeutic profile that includes significant glucose lowering effects and a robust lowering of blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels. In addition, because ASOs do not affect GCCR in the brain or other tissues such as the adrenal glands, these animal studies have shown that the ASOs provide significant therapeutic benefit without causing systemic steroid-like side effects. Thus, an antisense inhibitor to GCCR has the potential to treat a multitude of abnormalities that are seen in diabetic patients and may therefore provide therapeutic benefit that extends far beyond glucose control. These data support the value of GCCR inhibition in the liver as a therapeutic strategy to treat type 2 diabetes. Isis is in the process of optimizing its human lead compound to inhibit GCCR and plans to initiate development of this drug in the near-term.

Dear Margaret,
Talk about a love-hate relationship, with someone I don't even know! On the one hand, I adore your novels; I've read every one of them, several of them many times over. I've even delved into your poetry. Great characters, clever plots, enigmatic endings that leave the reader's brain whirring. But you don't need me to tell you this – you have a mantelpiece of awards to your credit, and, at last count, 80,950 followers on Twitter.
On the other hand, there are your politics. You lean left, you campaigned against the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement, you support the Green Party, you would vote Bloc if you lived in Quebec. Let's just say that we'll have to agree to disagree.
But on
, against Sun TV, you've really stepped over the line. You're a writer; doesn't freedom of speech mean anything to you? Whoops, I forgot: you think Sun TV is going to broadcast hate speech. Hateful, of course, because it's speech you disagree with.
But never let the facts get in the way of a good cause! Indeed, it appears that in this debate, when it comes to facts, they are in perilous short supply.
For one thing, the channel you want to stop now has a name: SUN TV. Not Fox News North. The real Fox News has nothing to do with it. Don't think it's because owner Rupert Murdoch is scared of petitions; more likely it has to do with not enough eyeballs on screens. That Quebecor's Pierre Karl Peladeau is brave enough to launch this channel is a testament to his optimism, as he is not a man who likes to lose money either.
Second, about that "secret meeting" Prime Minister Stephen Harper had with Mr. Murdoch. FYI: Mr. Murdoch routinely meets with politicians. He granted US President Barack Obama an audience in 2008, when as the Democratic candidate for President he wanted to discuss perceived bias at Fox News. Mr. Murdoch has also met with other politicians, including former Australian PM Kevin Rudd and current UK PM David Cameron. How he found the time to add Stephen Harper to his schedule I don't know, but it's more a compliment than a plot.
Third, let's check out this Avaaz.com. Sorry, but aren't you just a little suspicious of a petition site that asks people to send in money? Where is this cash going, exactly? Sure, other non-profit sites ask for donations, but they aren't in the habit of publishing screeds slamming
"the poisonous political climate and deeply deceptive tactics
that have been bred by the radical right in Canada
So dear Margaret, a word of advice: Please stick to writing fiction. None of the other causes you espoused got anywhere anyway. Free trade has been with us for twenty years, helping enrich the readers who buy your books; the Green Party still doesn't have a seat in the House of Commons; and the Bloc hasn't managed to separate Quebec from the rest of the country. Come to think of it, the foes of SunTV shouldn't want you on their team: you'll just bring them bad luck.

NC State farm shows smaller is better
Posted April 10, 2013
Raleigh, N.C. — A beautiful spring day means a busy morning on the farm for students at North Carolina State University.
They're planting basil, eggplant and other produce at the Agroecology Education Farm, 6 acres off Lake Wheeler Road where students study the best ways to grow food without harming the environment.
The farm is designed to show that small, sustainable plots can provide better, local choices for fresh food.
"Here, we use organic fertilizers and organic methods. We try to reduce tillage on the soils," crop science professor Michelle Schroeder-Moreno said.
Much of last year's bounty went to the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle in Raleigh, providing needy families with healthy, fresh produce.
This year, N.C. State students also will eat from these fields. Almost a third of the university's food comes from local sources. Starting this summer, some of that food is going to come from the campus farm.
NC State farm follows small, sustainable model
Students say the future of agriculture lies with small plots like the Agroecology Education Farm.
"Agriculture in the United States is very large," farm manager Stephen Ratasky said. "We can do things on a smaller scale and a more local scale."
Added Shroeder-Moreno: "We will not be able to sustain ourselves if we don't care for the environment, care about the economics, keep farmers in business."
She hopes the farm helps train the next generation of farmers to feed their local communities. A planting event will be held Saturday for volunteers to work and learn more about the farm, which is next to Yates Mill County Park. Learn more about the event online.

Catastrophic Flood May Have Contributed to Cahokia's Decline
Friday, April 25, 2014
MADISON, WISCONSIN—Flooding of the Mississippi River may be to blame for the eventual abandonment of Cahokia, the largest pre-Columbian city in North America north of Mexico. Sediment cores taken from a lake near the remains of the city contain a thick layer of silt dating to A.D. 1200, plus or minus 80 years. Samuel Munoz of the University of Wisconsin-Madison estimates that such a massive flood could have wiped out crops and destroyed the houses of more than 15,000 people. Munoz's study of pollen in the area shows that the people deforested the land and grew corn, squash, sunflower, and little barley. "I think the relationships between flooding and the decision to abandon the settlement are pretty complicated, but it's surprising and exciting to discover this flood happened right in the middle of a key turning point in Cahokia's history," he told Live Science.
A prehistoric canoe in Louisiana, the Spanish cat-fur trade, an Egyptian's wooden toe, and escaping Crusader-style
