The Washington National Cathedral, among the most prominent Episcopal churches in country, announced Tuesday that, effective immediately, same-sex weddings may be celebrated at the cathedral.
"Washington National Cathedral has a long history of advancing equality for people of all faiths and perspectives," the Rev. Gary Hall, dean of Washington National Cathedral, said in the Jan. 8 release. "The Cathedral is called to serve as a gathering place for the nation in times of significance, but it is also rooted in its role as the most visible faith community within the Episcopal Church.

"For more than 30 years, the Episcopal Church has prayed and studied to discern the evidence of God's blessing in the lives of same-sex couples. It is now only fitting that the National Cathedral follow suit. We enthusiastically affirm each person as a beloved child of God – and doing so means including the full participation of gays and lesbians in the life of this spiritual home for the nation."
In accordance with the canons of the Episcopal Church, the cathedral will celebrate same-sex marriages using a rite adapted from an existing blessing ceremony approved in August 2012 by the church at its General Convention.
Although some Episcopal clergy have provided private blessings to same-sex couples since the 1960s, the church had no official practice until its 2009 General Convention, when the Church said bishops may provide "generous pastoral response" to same-sex couples, particularly in states that had legalized civil unions or marriage equality. Following the 2012 convention's approval of a rite for same-sex marriages, bishops who oversee various dioceses within the church were allowed to make their own decisions whether to celebrate same-sex marriages.
Following the legalization of same-sex marriage in the District in 2010 and Maryland in 2012, the Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, decided in December to allow the celebration of same-sex marriages in the diocese, which covers the District, and Montgomery, Prince George's, Charles and St. Mary's counties in Maryland. In response to the bishop's decision, individual faith communities, such as the National Cathedral, were then allowed to decide whether to adapt the marriage rite to include same-sex couples, which Hall, in his role as dean of the cathedral, helped to implement.
Because the weddings are conducted as Christian marriages in the church, at least one person in the couple must have been baptized. As a general rule, only couples directly affiliated with the cathedral, such as active members of the congregation, alumni of the cathedral schools, donors who make regular and significant contributions to the cathedral, or those judged by the dean to have played an "exceptional role" in the life of the nation are eligible to wed in the cathedral. This applies to both same-sex and opposite-sex couples.
In response to the cathedral's announcement, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation's leading LGBT civil rights group, issued a statement praising the decision to expand religious marriage rites to same-sex couples.
"Today marks another milestone in the Episcopal Church's embrace of all God's children, including LGBT people," the Rev. MacArthur Flournoy, deputy director of HRC's Religion and Faith Program, said in a statement. "Today, the Church sent a simple but powerful message to LGBT Episcopalians – you are loved just the way you are, and for that we embrace you.
"The Episcopal Church is one of a growing number of denominations to see a new day in the intersection of faith and sexual orientation and gender identity," Flournoy continued. "This is not only good for LGBT people, it is good for the soul of the church."

Overall appreciation
"Practical as we arrive in the centre of Bordeaux. Was able to travel despite the heavy snow on that day. "
Value for moneyConvenience
"No problem with the TGV journey. For passengers changing from or to Lille Europe station (ex Eurostar) from or to Lille Flanders for some TGv's, it would be useful to have baggage trolleys available (with deposit if necessary) to help take luggage to the other station - about 500 metres. When booking seats, we would like the option of choosing or specifying forward-facing seats - our allocated seats were rear-facing. "
Value for moneyConvenience
"The train was slow and shaking the whole time. There wasn't a lot of room for larger luggages either. "

POUGHKEEPSIE — Judge Cecelia Morris approved the sale of the Roseton and Danskammer power plants Friday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
POUGHKEEPSIE — Judge Cecelia Morris approved the sale of the Roseton and Danskammer power plants Friday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
Before Morris signed off, the plants' owner, Dynegy, agreed to a provision that requires overdue property taxes to be paid at the closings.
The Houston power company currently owes $24 million in back taxes on the power plants in the Town of Newburgh, including about $665,000 in penalties and interest.
Those taxes, owed to Newburgh, the Marlboro School District and Orange County, are based on a market value for the plants of $890 million, which was set five years ago in a settlement.
The sale agreements also set the stage for massive future reductions in the assessed value of the plants and a resulting loss of millions in tax revenue for the Town of Newburgh, the Marlboro School District and Orange County.
The plants are being sold for a total value of $68 million, including the assumption of certain liabilities by the buyers, according to an announcement made earlier this month.
Louis Dreyfus Highbridge Energy is paying $19.5 million in cash for Roseton, while ICS NY Holdings will put up $3.5 million in cash for Danskammer, which will be razed.
Sale documents lay the groundwork for a future settlement on taxes at the Roseton site. Of the $24 million in back taxes, $16.9 million is for Roseton. According to the documents, the Town of Newburgh must agree to set Roseton's assessment so that its tax liability is reduced by at least 50 percent.
The reduction can be phased in over as many as three years, according to the documents.
The future reduction, which may also be written into a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) agreement, was one of the conditions required by Louis Dreyfus Highbridge, said Lewis Wrobel, the attorney representing the Town of Newburgh.
Newburgh Supervisor Wayne Booth, who attended the sale hearing, said he expects that the town will have to come to an agreement on the new assessment of the plants sometime before the closing.
The value will be "somewhere in the middle" between the current $890 million figure and the $68 million value of the sale, he said.
"How far south or north it will be, I'm not sure," he said.
The closings for both Roseton and Danskammer must occur within six months, or else the deal can be scratched, according to court papers.
Ulster County Legislator Richard Gerentine of Marlboro said in court Friday that he wanted to know what the assessed value of the properties would be before the sale was approved.
"This will be a big burden financially next year and in future years," Gerentine said.
Morris said that the alternative to the sale could be closing down the plants completely.
Gerentine also noted the presence of "high-powered" attorneys involved in the case in the courtroom and scorned big business's effect on home values in Marlboro.
According to Dynegy's August 2012 financial statements, the company has incurred $37.3 million on professional fees, including attorneys and financial advisors, since it filed for bankruptcy last year.

Listen up: Volunteer musicians hit a high note when their talents boost, heal spirits
Nineteen-year-old Isabella Gabrovsky, in her blue volunteer's coat and white slacks, made her way recently to a room on the sixth floor of the medical center, lightly tapping on the door and entering. To the surprise of the recovering heart transplant patient inside, she said, "I'm Isabella, a volunteer singer here, and if you'd like, I'd like to sing for you."
The patient smiled and nodded, not knowing what to expect.
What followed was a rendition of Moon River, sung by the UCLA junior with the confidence and charm of a seasoned pro. For the next few hours, Isabella moved along the long corridors, serenading those who wished to hear her or respectfully stepping away if, for any reason, her offer of music was declined. On another afternoon, on the eighth floor, Rick Penn-Kraus strummed his guitar as he made his way to a nurses' station. "Anyone you think would like some music this afternoon?" he asked. The RNs on duty, familiar with his talents, suggested he visit two rooms. One patient, they knew, was a bit depressed after major surgery, and the other hadn't had any visitors and might like some cheering up.
Penn-Kraus, a professional musician and a creative arts director, made his way to the first room, introduced himself and with the patient's approval, he sang a lively number with guitar accompaniment. The patient's face brightened, and he asked for more. What musician doesn't like an encore request? Penn-Kraus glided into Sittin' On the Dock of the Bay. "You're great," the patient said with applause and a smile.
While other volunteer musicians take their talents to patients, Marvin Smalley's audience – patients, family members, hospital staff and other visitors and guests – comes to him: He plays the grand piano in the Plaza Level Lobby, next to the Fletcher Benton sculpture Bronze Yellow Phase 3. He relaxes for his weekly performances, sitting at the keyboard for 1.5 to two hours, and, as he says, "Let's go."
Smalley, a retired plumbing equipment manufacturer, has a repertoire of almost 100 songs, mostly popular tunes from the '40s and '50s but including more contemporary hits. His performances prompt many compliments and much gratitude from listeners, because, as a volunteer at the nearby Information Desk observes, "His music creates a soothing atmosphere here."
"If I can make other people happy, it's what it's all about," he says.
'A different kind of medicine'
These three musicians play key roles in the Music for Healing program, which is part of Volunteer Services at Cedars Sinai Medical Center. With more than 2,700 participants, Volunteer Services is one of the most robust of its kind at any academic medical center in the nation. Volunteers provide almost 220,000 hours of service to Cedars-Sinai annually and, on average, stay with the program for four years. Each Music for Healing artist donates an average of two hours a week, fitting in uplifting performances as their own schedules allow.
While music, with its power to move us emotionally, long has been known to comfort the afflicted, modern researchers have taken greater note of the medical virtues of melodies. Decades of studies have shown that, in addition to easing chronic pain, music can help lower blood pressure, reduce anxiety, improve depression and even help stroke patients regain speech.
"Music simply is a different kind of medicine," says Barbara Leanse, director of Volunteer Services.
Tammi Weinstein Wise, coordinator of the Music for Healing program, adds: "Every patient has concerns that can't be met by traditional medicine, and the music volunteers are trained to deal with these emotional challenges."
Musician volunteers, she says, honor patients' sometimes-difficult experiences, knowing with compassion that "when music does bring a patient to tears, it's part of the healing process."
Sharing their gifts provides dramatic returns, too, for the volunteers who can see how their talents help others.
Penn-Kraus says he's often gone into rooms where patients await pain medication: "Then I start playing a song, and when I'm done, they often tell me that the pain is gone."
Dorian Christian Baucum, pictured above right, is a pharmacist and a volunteer vocalist. "In the pharmacy," Baucum says, "there is a professional obstacle between me and the patient. But when I walk into a patient's room as an artist, I can immediately break through that barrier and connect in a powerful way."
A good ear
Prospective volunteers for Cedars-Sinai's music program discover quickly that their roles go far beyond performing in the medical center. Talk to program veterans, and they'll tell you they learn how to adapt to the care-giving setting – sanitizing their hands when entering rooms to perform, sometime donning yellow infection-protection gear and blue plastic gloves. They appreciate that the acoustics of a hospital room can be surprisingly pleasing. And they know that if their art can comfort patients, even the most formidable concert stage might seem tamer.
Sometimes, too, they don't sing or play. They just sit at bedsides and provide a compassionate ear.
Their service is not only welcome, it's in growing need, Leanse notes. "We are grateful for the gift of time and care that each and every volunteer shares with us at Cedars-Sinai," she says. "Because our musical volunteers possess such talent, many of them fit their volunteer efforts in and around professional appearances, performances and concertizing. Our patients and community appreciate them so much, though, that we're always looking for the very special combination of musical ability, taste and compassion that works for us here at Cedars-Sinai.
Una O'Donovan, a classical harpist, pictured right, recalls that when she started volunteering, she assumed she would play and make everyone feel better. "Now," she says, "I understand that it's a multidimensional process. I try to bring the artistry of the music, the psychology of what's needed at the moment – energy, spirituality and my own intuition – to the patient so they can be healed by the doctors and the nurses."
Vocalist Gabrovsky observes: "For me, singing for a patient is a highly personal thing, and it can be quite emotional. A song can give a patient an excuse to cry, and often, when that happens, I cry, too."
There are times, though, when there is humor. A man in his early 50s, recovering from transplant surgery in which he received the heart of a 24-year-old accident victim, teased the young lady. "My heart could date you," he says with a grin.
This article was written by Norman Sklarewitz, a former foreign correspondent and a volunteer with Cedars-Sinai.

The call came in as "elderly female with leg injuries."
The address flashed up on the data terminal with the sat-nav firing up to show us the way. "Blues & Twos" were switched on and we set off to find our patient. After a short journey of about five minutes we pulled up outside the address. A garden path cut through the middle of the well tended front lawn and led us to the front door.
I pushed the door bell and heard the chimes ringing inside the hallway. There was no answer so I knocked loudly on the door and tried the handle. Stepping inside the clean, well decorated hallway I called out "Hello! Ambulance!" A low murmur came from the room nearest to us on the right. We made our way towards the open living room door and entered into the room.
Sat in a chair near the large bay window was our patient with her arthritic hands covering her face. "Hello, can you hear me?"….I called out to her and she lowered her hands and looked up at me. I could see that she was in some considerable pain and I moved closer to her chair moving the crutch from her side so I would not knock it over. The other crutch was lying on the floor nearby.
"What seems to the matter?" I started. I saw straight away what the problem was…her right lower leg was shredded and covered in blood! A quick thought about the mechanism of injury crossed my mind…looks like shes been hit by a miniature combine harvester or some one has tried to shave her leg with a steel comb!
The lady gathered her composure and through gritted teeth explained that her cat had done it! More quick thoughts crossed my mind…how big was the cat? And where was it? Had we wandered into a situation where a domestic moggy had turned rogue, gone bad, lost the plot and was at this very moment stalking us. Was it getting ready to pounce on us and slash our throats open to leave us in a pool of blood on the nice axminster carpet?
"Soooo…wheres the cat now?"I asked. With a trembling hand she pointed to the dining table behind me. Turning slowly round I came face to cats whiskers with the offending feline. The cat was lying along side the crutch beneath the dining table. I made to move towards the cat to stroke it…."Stop! Dont go near it!" our patient shouted. "He's stuck!"
I looked back at our patient and with my crew-mate we started to assess and bandage her leg wounds. "So what happened to make your cat do this to you?" I asked. As we moved around to check her wounds I saw that hanging off the handle of her walking crutch was a large silver butchers hook. "Something frightened him and he tried to jump from my lap onto the floor but he got stuck and thats when he panicked and clawed my leg!"
I asked what the hook was for and she explained that because of her arthritic hands she had problems carrying things. To make it easier to carry her empty tea cup or mug back to the kitchen she would use the hook on the crutch handle. "Genius!" I thought. "So when you say he got stuck…do you mean the chair arm got in the way?"
"No…if you can see where he is without spooking him you will see clearly whats happened." With this I moved with the stealth of a Great White Hunter stalking a tiger in darkest Africa or closing in for the kill on an elephant. My approach across the multi-patterned axminister carpet was unimpeded and after travelling a distance of almost two feet I arrived near to my prey.
This is where everything suddenly became clear…sticking out of the side of the cats chest was another butchers hook…and it was still attached to the crutch handle on the floor. All of a sudden the cat sensed my presence and tried to run but screamed in agony as it dragged the crutch between the table legs. All thoughts of a secondary career as a Big Game Hunter evaporated. I backed off leaving the poor cat growling in pain.
The ladys leg would heal although it would be sore for some time. She did not want to go to hospital and was more concerned about the cat. So was I…so was my crew-mate. A quick call to Puzzle Palace (command & control) was made to put them in the picture and to let them know we would try and contact a veterninary.
Having located the appropriate vet in the phone book I rang and explained the situation to the receptionist. After a short while the vet came on the line and again I explained the problem…we could not move the cat as the hook was in well deep and it was under the table. Within half an hour the vet and a veterninary assistant arrived on scene. With a quick assessment made by the vet it was decided to grab the cat and take it in for removal of the hook.
This went smoother than anticipated as the cat moved back an inch then forward again on our approach and the hook dislodged from the crutch handle. With an expert gladitorial throw of a blanket our feline patient was secured and taken away. Our human patient felt relieved that her companion was going to be taken care of and we cleared for our next call.
Later that shift we made a detour on our way back to base and called in at the vets to check up on the cat. The vet showed us the cat was okay and then showed us the x rays. Clearly evident the hook had imbedded itself deep into the cat, but luckily had missed all the major organs!
"One down…eight to go!"

MUTEK Montreal Reveals First Wave of Headliners for its 14th Edition
MATTHEW HERBERT, JAMIE LIDELL, JOHN TALABOT, ROBERT HOOD and many more!
February 19, 2013
The time has come for a first announcement leading up to MUTEK 2013! For its 14th edition, the festival has decided to shake up its tradition of announcing names in mid-March by unveiling his first crop of performers today. With renowned international musicians such as MATTHEW HERBERT, JAMIE LIDELL, JOHN TALABOT, the veteran ROBERT HOOD and BOUNDARY, Montrealer GHISLAIN POIRIER, who'll present the world premiere of his new project, the groundwork has been laid for a remarkable and unrivalled upcoming edition of MUTEK. The presale of passports and weekend passes – available at reduced rates and in limited quantities – begins now. Don't miss out!
Boasting an already enviable festival roster, MUTEK 2013 is set to offer a copious itinerary teeming with powerful and varied artistic performances that ticketgoers can sink their teeth into. Over the course of 5 days, from May 29 to June 2, the public will once again be invited to brush up on first-rate discoveries and live performances by both highly anticipated emerging talents and pillars of contemporary electronic music.
Unquestionably one of the highlights of this 14th edition will be MATTHEW HERBERT's first trip to Montreal since 2005. The prolific producer and socially conscious musician will grace us with his presence by offering festivalgoers not one, but 3 projects in North American premiere: the one-of-kind One Pig performance, which documents a pig's entire life cycle from birth to death; a musical improvisation using a 10-second recording courtesy of a war photojournalist in Libya; and a DJ set under the WISHMOUNTAIN moniker.
Beyond well-established electronic luminaries such as JAMIE LIDELL, MARTYN and RYOICHI KUROKAWA, already spotlighted in previous editions and whom the festival intends to showcase in a new light this year, MUTEK 2013 will also welcome artists the Montreal public has been patiently looking forward to, such as the masterful Catalan house beatmaker JOHN TALABOT, the critically revered ANDY STOTT, long associated with British label Modern Love, the virtuoso German pianist NILS FRAHM or even young Parisian ONRA, renowned beatmaker master. Speaking of French, FRANK VIGROUX & ANTOINE SCHMITT will present the north-american premiere of Tempest, their new live video & electronics collaboration.
Among other noteworthy festival highlights, MUTEK's opening night will feature a program to celebrate the 20th anniversary of mythical Cologne-based label KOMPAKT, which will most notably be represented by its perennial poster boy, MICHAEL MAYER, along with SASCHIENNE, Sascha Funke's new collaborative duo with Julienne Dessagne.
MUTEK 2013's artists reflect the very DNA of an audacious festival that operates in constant flux. Many more names will be added to this list in the weeks to come, most notably the crop of selected Canadian artists.
The MUTEK PASSPORTS and WEEKEND PASSES are two clever ways not to miss a beat and be fully immersed in the festivities. They are now on sale via mutek.org /tickets. For $200 CDN (+ taxes and service charges), holders of the MUTEK PASSPORT will have access to the festival's entire line-up. For $120 CDN (+ taxes and service charges), holders of the WEEKEND PASS will have access to all events from Friday, May 31st to Sunday, June 2nd inclusively.
These preferential rates run until March 31st, so hurry up to make the most of it!

Brett Eldredge Hopes to Create Love Stories with 'Take Me Home Tonight' Dating Series
He's no Millionaire Matchmaker, but celebrity crooner Brett Eldredge apparently fancies himself a bit of a country cupid. In his new dating series 'Take Me Home Tonight,' Eldredge is hoping to start love stories by pairing up his fans with other fans he thinks will do well together. To be clear, the 'It Ain't Gotta Be Love' singer isn't putting himself out there and hoping to get a date; he's just setting out to help others find their perfect match.
"I want to help you start your love story," he says in the trailer for the show (see below). Anyone wanting to participate in the quest for love can apply on the singer-songwriter's website by filling out basic details (plus height and weight) and explaining why you want to be on the show.
If Eldredge thinks you would be a good match for another of his fans, he'll set the two of you up on a romantic date in Nashville, culminating (of course!) with a Brett Eldredge concert with full backstage access. Just go to his website and click on the banner that reads "Are you looking for love?" to get started.
When he's not scouring through the applications trying to help his fans find the love of their life, Eldredge will continue on his tour, which has been keeping him pretty busy and will continue to occupy his time until it wraps June 9 at the Winstock Music Festival in Winstead, Minn.

Editorial: Strong Competition for Publisher of the Year
By: Kristina Ackermann
Selecting a person to recognize as publisher of the year in the middle of a recession is challenging. It's fair to say E&P's editorial board went into the selection process with a healthy dose of cynicism.
But in the midst of all the depressing news about layoffs, lost advertising, reduced print schedules, and increased competition, I have to admit that we were pleasantly surprised at the quality of nominations we received.
Publishers across the country at papers large and small were nominated by their employees, their peers, their spouses, and, in one instance, by an unemployed reader who was impressed by the paper's "ballsy" coverage (his word, not mine). We received nominations from as far away as Germany and Nigeria, plus several for publishers serving a foreign language niche right here in the U.S.
We received more nominations for women publishers than ever before. Beth Erickson turned the Canton (Mass.) Citizen into an early success story despite her paper being derided as the "Ladies' Home Journal" by her competition. Susan Ovans launched The Hull (Mass.) Times after being fired as editor of a different paper for disagreeing with the publisher's politicizing of local election coverage. Lacking the funding for traditional production machinery, Ovans was an early adopter of Mac desktop publishing and was identified as an industry pioneer in a 1986 edition of TIME magazine.
We also heard from newspapers catering specifically to African American, Cuban, Indian, Asian, and LGBT communities. A handful of our nominated publishers were less than 35 years old; Alan Baker of The Ellsworth (Maine) American is 83 years old and still works five full days a week.
Ashton Phelps, outgoing publisher of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, has a fan club. He takes home the award for most nominations received for a single publisher. In his 32 years at the Times- Picayune he guided the team's Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage of threats to global fishing stocks in 1996 and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Phelps' last day as publisher was September 28, and his presence is already missed among those who worked with him both in the newsroom and in the New Orleans community.
Some publishers were nominated for their community activism; others were nominated on the virtue of not having made any layoffs. Nearly all the nominees were recognized for wearing many hats. Being a successful publisher in today's climate means going on sales calls, writing columns, learning HTML and Web design, paying the water bill, delivering paper routes, serving on the local rotary board, and mentoring young journalists — often all in the same day.
The publishers that are truly committed to the survival of this industry are out there working their tails off every day, and too often the only thanks they receive is a nasty website comment and a subscription cancellation notice. So on behalf of all the employees who nominated their publishers, allow me to say "thank you." Your efforts are appreciated, even if you don't always know it.
As much as I would have liked to recognize several publishers, the one who stood out above the pack and clearly embodies what it takes to be publisher of the year was Bill Masterson at the Times of Northwest Indiana. Read his full profile here.

Line 3 Replacement Program and Northern Gateway Decision Statement
November 29, 2016
November 29, 2016
Enbridge today received the Canadian Federal Government's decision on our Line 3 Replacement and Northern Gateway Projects.
We're pleased by the Federal Government's decision to approve the Line 3 Replacement Program, an essential maintenance project that will ensure the safe and reliable delivery of Canada's energy resources to market.
The Line 3 Replacement Program is the largest project in Enbridge's history at approximately $7.5 billion, and will enhance the safety of the line and restore its original capacity of 760,000 barrels a day.
We have strong support for the project from our communities along the route, including Indigenous communities. Since the project began in 2014, we have undertaken the largest engagement program in our history, including engaging with 150 Indigenous communities from as far away as 300 kilometres from the right of way.
Enbridge is committed to ensuring that communities along the pipeline route realize the significant economic benefits that will come with the project, including jobs, Indigenous business opportunities and training programs in all three Prairie Provinces.
Replacing Line 3 is the most timely and reliable solution for transporting Western Canadian crude oil to the Chicago, U.S. Gulf Coast, Eastern U.S. and Canadian refinery markets.
This approval today is an important milestone and brings us one step closer to making this important project a reality.
The anticipated in-service date for this project is 2019, pending U.S. regulatory approvals.
Enbridge is disappointed the Federal Government has directed the NEB to dismiss the Northern Gateway application. This was an important project to ensure Canada gets its resources to international markets, where Canadian producers can receive the best returns, benefiting our provincial and national economies.
Northern Gateway also represented an unprecedented partnership with Indigenous people. The 31 Indigenous communities who had a one-third ownership in Northern Gateway stood to realize $2 billion in benefits to their communities and would have played an important stewardship role in the project.
In advancing Northern Gateway, we relied on a process that saw the Federal Government approve the project. The Federal Court of Appeal then found that the Federal Government failed to properly consult Indigenous communities, but affirmed our engagement on the project.
Given today's decision, we'll need to assess our alternatives which we'll do in consultation with our partners, including our Aboriginal Equity Partners.

Late night faux-conservative pundit Stephen Colbert said he may be "the only American left" who hasn't signed a nondisclosure agreement.
Colbert noted that the harassment allegations keep coming for Herman Cain, "like an unwelcomed hand up a pleated skirt."
Speaking of one of Cain's accusers, Colbert said Cain "was going to give her a job at his company if she would first give him a job in his front seat—that's alleged!"

Address: Museiplan 1, 831 00 Östersund
During summer, the open air museum comes alive as actors and animals move into farms and other historical areas. Every day, visitors are invited to participate in a number of exiting activities. Once you enter Jamtli Historieland, anything can happen!
A few steps could take you between the 18th, 19th and 20th century, and the people you meet might come from eras others than ours. Role-playing is used to show how people lived and worked, how they cooked, looked after their animals or ran business.
Every day during the Historyland-season, a guided walk through history (in English) with role-playing actors departs from the Market Square at Jamtli at 14:00.
Here, the whole family can take part in the living history entertainment among real, live people from the 18th and 19th centuries. Join the actors at farms from different periods - take a ride on the hay carriage, take part in timber floating or be a maid or a farmhand for a day. You will soon find Jamtli Historyland full of fun and activity. Inside, you can take a slide down into the belly of the Storsjö monster to the underground exhibition halls. See the Storsjö monster exhibition, visit a stone age settlement, and join the Sami following their reindeer. If you are really brave, take a look into the wolf´s lair. The museum´s most famous attraction is the 1,000-year old Överhogdal tapestry. It is the oldest tapestry of its kind in Europe, it has been fully preserved and has, according to some interpretations, its roots in Old Norse mythology.
Historyland is open during summer: 22 of June to the 18 of August 2019

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
The Utah Supreme Court dealt a serious blow Tuesday to the polygamous sect led by Warren Jeffs in an epic legal battle over its $114 million property trust.
The decision could void a landmark ruling handing the trust back to the sect and makes it much more likely that the trust, taken over by the state in 2005, will stay under government control.
Utah's high court Tuesday reinforced its 2010 decision that the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus of Latter-Day Saints waited too long three years to challenge the takeover of the trust, which holds nearly all the land, homes and property in the sect's home base of Colorado City, Ariz., and Hildale, Utah.
Though the dismissal did not decide the question of whether the takeover was legal, it bars any other state court from considering the case, the justices' ruling said.
"We have no hesitation in concluding that a dismissal based on [unexplained delay] is a judgment on the merits ... and thus preclusive in Utah courts," the ruling said.
The opinion denies every one of the FLDS claims, calling some arguments "sour grapes" and "suspect."
A final decision on the trust's ultimate fate, however, rests with the federal 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver, where the Utah attorney general appealed a federal court ruling last year handing the trust back to the sect.
In that landmark decision, U.S. District Judge Dee Benson ruled the takeover violated the separation of church and state and the trust should immediately go back to the sect.
After a legal showdown between Benson and the state court judge who had been overseeing the case, the 10th Circuit put on hold any return of the trust until it makes a decision.
The appeals court then asked the Utah Supreme Court to decide whether the 2010 dismissal should bar another judge, such as Benson, from ruling in the case. Tuesday's opinion is the answer to that question. The case now goes back to the 10th Circuit.
Though the case isn't over, the opinion is "the shot in the arm we've been waiting for," said Utah Solicitor General Bridget Romano.
Court-appointed trust administrator Bruce Wisan said he's "very pleased" with the decision. If the 10th Circuit does decide to keep the trust with the state, he said he's aiming to follow through with a plan started before the FLDS filed suit in 2008 to break up the communal property trust and distribute the assets to individuals. He would also sell off some property to repay $5.6 million in taxpayer money the state will provide to help pay past-due bills associated with running the trust.
"Certainly there are some complications and issues with that," he said. But, ultimately, "I would like to distribute and get out of Dodge."
As for the sect, FLDS attorney Rod Parker said the group's argument that the takeover violated the constitutional separation of church and state could still gain traction at the 10th Circuit as it did with Benson.
"We're going to meet with the leaders of the community," Parker said, "and decide what steps to take next."

Last night's big premiere of the fourth season of Jersey Shore was kind of a disappointment. The gang headed to Italy, and there were a lot of setup luggage hijinks, a montage of fake passport photo shoots (apparently, they are the only people in America who are allowed to wear sunglasses and hats for their passports), and hair appliance/converter shenanigans. So it stands to reason that The Situation's newfound feelings for Snooki could very well be part of some quasi-scripted storyline to add some drama, seeing as how Ronnie and Sammi aren't fulfilling their roles (yet) as tortured house couple.
Still, there were some golden nugget moments, mostly revolving around the language barrier — the roommates have only a tenuous grasp on English to begin with. (Upon seeing a carousel, they screamed, "Oh my God, a Ferris wheel!" Upon seeing a bidet, Vinny said, "Yo, we got that thing that fuckin' cleans your ass and shit." And upon seeing some kind of historical landmark, Ronnie said, "What's that? What's that? I kinda wanna look at that thing, bro.") Of course, this fish-out-water element was expected. What was surprising — but really should've been a no-brainer — is that they fit right in at the local eurotrash club.

Anything can be a subject of art! If stupid fruits can inspire well-known paintings, gamers would consider legends like Mario and Zelda more than qualified to be rendered as pieces of art.
Jimi Benedict agrees with this and has created works inspired by the 8-bit video game characters. Also known as Jimiyo, the artist has combined the pixel and block form of Mario and Zelda with some natural textures and surreal settings. His two portraits provide for something refreshingly new and fresh.
Kudos to the artist for providing such wonderful adaptations of games. If you're not into games, his blog has got a host of other stuff to keep you interested.

Codes of Honor
Jon Rafman, Codes of Honor, 2011
Chinatown Fair arcade closed down on February 28th, 2011, after over 50 years. Gamers are still in mourning. CF, as it was known, was one of the last video game arcades in America where one could count on finding top-level competition. I spent the better part of 2009 in that dingy, dim-lit arcade at the end of Mott street, which was the battlegound for the best players in the history of pro-gaming.
The first Street Fighter release in a decade —Street Fighter IV —just came out, sparking a short-lived renaissance in the fighting game community. I got to know the regulars at the arcade and began conducting daily video interviews, asking them to recall their greatest memories at the joysticks. I set up a YouTube channel, which was widely followed and the comment section became a major forum for debate in the community. During that year, I learned that to be a top-pro one could not simply master the technical aspect of the game; to compete at the highest level one needed to have a strong character and a deep understanding of human psychology. I learned that pro-gamers ascribe to the values and virtues of the classical archetypes of yore: honor, respect for the other, and excellence. Hardcore gamers have an experience of acheivement so intense that, although limited in scope and time, it is forever difficult to equal. Although nothing can rival the high they get from defeating a worthy opponent or the reputation during their reign, the fame is as fleeting as the high of the win. And so I learned of the tragic element that is inherent to the experience of video gaming...

ALBANY, Ga. - Four people charged in connection with a 2009 salmonella outbreak that killed nine people and sickened hundreds are set to appear in federal court in south Georgia.
The federal indictment unsealed last week accuses the former employees of the Peanut Corporation of America with scheming to manufacture and ship salmonella-tainted peanuts. The four are scheduled to appear Thursday morning in federal court in Albany.
The 76-count indictment charges company owner Stewart Parnell, his food broker brother Michael Parnell and Georgia plant manager Samuel Lightsey with conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud and the introduction of adulterated and misbranded food into interstate commerce with the intent to defraud or mislead.
Stewart Parnell, Lightsey and Georgia plant quality assurance manager Mary Wilkerson were also charged with obstruction of justice.

A quick look at the Cubs minor leaguers on Friday, July 27.
The AZL Cubs dropped a low scoring game to the AZL Athletics 3-1. Lendy Castillo got the start as he continues to work his way back allowing one run on two hits in four innings. He struck out six and took a no decision in this one. Tyler Bremer gave up two runs and took the loss. Carlos Martinez-Pumarino and Jin-Young Kim combined to pitch 3.2 scoreless innings, but the Cubs offense couldn't come back. The Cubs got their run in the first when Albert Almora hit a two-run double and then scored on a Jorge Soler RBI single. Soler would add another hit on the night and stole a base. Carlos Penalver was the only other Cubs player to record a hit on Friday. This is not what we have come to expect from the Cubs, but they will get back on track soon.
Boise exploded to beat Tri-City 8-3. The Hawks had five players with multi-hit games. Daniel Vogelbach was one of those going 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI. Gioskar Amaya and Marco Hernandez each had two hits, wtih Amaya driving in two. Trey Martin and Xavier Batista also added two hits a piece. Wilson Contreras connected on his second home run of the season, a three run shot in the second inning. Willengton Cruz got his second win of the season out of the bullpen. He pitched two strong innings striking out four. James Pugliese started and gave up three runs in four innings of work. Michael Heesch and Su-Min Jung each pitched well in relief. After a tough 1-0 loss last night, it was nice to see Boise come back strong tonight.
Javier Baez gave Peoria a lead with a two-run shot in the eighth and the Chiefs held beating Cedar Rapids 3-2. Baez's 11th homer of the season turned out to be one of his biggest of his young career. He finished the game 2-for-3 and is now hit a robust .341. Wes Darvill also had two hits, including a double, a run scored, and an RBI. Austin Reed recorded the win in relief, his fourth of the season. Zach Cates got the start, pitching 5.1 innings allowing two runs on three hits, while striking out seven. Sheldon McDonald pitched two scoress inning in relief dropping his ERA to 1.91 on the season. It has been exciting following Baez this year and he continues to impress.
Robert Whitenack and the staff were outstanding for the Daytona Cubs beating Bradenton 2-0. Robert Whitenack got his first win since coming back from Tommy-John surgery. He pitched five innings allowing no runs on two hits, while striking out four. Eduardo Figuerora struck out four in three scoreless innings in relief. AJ Morris closed the game out recording his second save of the season. The offense lost Matt Szczur who was promoted to Tennessee was able to get enough to win. Rebel Ridling hit his second home run of the season and had two hits. Timothy Saunders also had two hits including a double and a run scored. A big congrats to Robert and here's to many more in the near future.
Jacksonville was able to score two runs in three different innings defeating Tennessee 6-4. Junior Lake continued his hot stretch in this one going 2-for-4 with two doubles and two RBIs. Greg Rohan had two hits and connected on his fourth home run with the Smokies. Juan Apodaca also had two hits and an RBI. In his first game with Tennessee Matt Szczur went 0-for-4 with two strike outs. Ty'relle Harris started and took the loss going 2.2 innings allowing four runs on six hits. Zach Rosscup gave up two runs in 3.2 innings, but struck out an impressive six batters. Casey Harman and Kevin Rhoderick also pitched in the loss.
Iowa wins, Iowa wins, Iowa wins. It has been a rough go as of late so to beat Okalahoma City 5-0 is great to see. Chris Volstad had his best start pitching eight scorelss innings. He only surrendered four hits, walking three, and striking out five. Alberto Cabrerea finished the game off throwing a scoreless ninth striking out two. Alfredo Amezaga led off going 3-for-5 and scored a run. Adrian Cardenas and Brian Esposito each had two hits with Cardenas hitting a double and scoring a run. Dave Sappelt had a triple and drove in two on Friday. Josh Vitters and Brett Jackson each recorded one hit and scored a run, Jackson also drove one in. Hope this is signs to come for Chris Volstad and the Cubs.
Thanks for Reading,

Almeda Playground
Almeda Playground
This playground, located in Queens on the Rockaway peninsula, is named for nearby Almeda Avenue. This area has had a long and interesting history. Originally spotted by Henry Hudson in 1609, the area served as home to a small tribe of Canarsie Indians. The name Rockaway was probably derived from the Delaware or Chippewa Native American language expression for sandy place, which was interpreted as 'Rockaway' by the European colonizers of the 17th Century.
The land was owned by a number of prominent families, most notably the Cornell family. After a partition suit divided the plot in 1808, the parcels were sold to outsiders, notably the Rockaway Association, which began to build exclusive resorts in 1833. During the 1890s, a variety of amusement parks were built, rivaling the popular Coney Island area for weekend and summer getaways. In 1898, the Village of Rockaway Park was incorporated into New York City.
Beaches, such as Jacob Riis Park, draw huge crowds during the summer months as people look to escape the heat and relax in the sun. In an effort to make Rockaway more accessible to people from all over New York, many access options were created beginning in 1925 with the completion of the Cross Bay Bridge. Marine Parkway followed in 1937, and 1941 saw the improvement of the subway system in the area. Since the end of World War II (1939-1945), the area has become a largely residential community.
Originally named P.S. 42 Playground, the playground was opened in 1965, and renamed by Parks in 1985. Located on Beach 65th and Beach 66th Streets, Beach Channel Drive, and Thursby Avenue, the playground serves as an excellent play space for the school children of P.S. 42. The playground includes benches, a flagpole with a yardarm, and London planetrees (Platanus x acerifolia) lining the perimeter. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani provided $225,910 in 1999, for the playground's play equipment and $55,745 for site repairs to the area. Additional play areas include a spray shower; three full basketball courts, two handball courts, swings, and a large asphalt field.

Sunday September 14, 2008
The Steelers opened up the season with a very convincing win against the Texans. The offensive line was clicking and Parker was steam rolling through the defense. Didn't see much of Big Ben but he did have two TD passes and was put on the ground a couple of times.
This weekend the Steelers hop on the bus and travel to Cleveland to face the Browns Sunday night. The Browns came on strong last year, but were still swept by the Steelers. This year the Browns have said it's their year and will dethrone the Steelers from the AFCN... this is their time to try! On paper, it's hard to imagine the Browns are any better than they were last year.
The Browns defense is next to last in the league after just one week. That does not mean much but to give up almost 500 total yards you have to wonder if the Browns can even contend this year. Giving up that many yards says the D is on the field an awful lot over the course of 60 minutes and to make matters worse they lost their only real staple in the secondary this past week... so an already weak secondary is even weaker!
The Steelers continue to do what they do best, jump on their opponent, go for the kill and then shut down the offense and pound the ball to kill the clock. The offensive line still remains to be the big question as they let the Texans get to Big Ben twice last week. Granted they looked good for a majority of the game, but that was only one game. FWP is off to a fast start as seems to be the case for him since he became a starter. This weekends game is his achilles heal though... it's on the road! Parker has never done well on the road for some reason, hopefully the fact that it's still September will counter the Steelers are on the road.
Big Ben did not have to do much last week, but what he did was effective! 13 of 14 for 137 yards and 2 TD's... as long as the Steelers keep winning I'll take those kind of numbers every week! Ben was reported as having a sore shoulder but nothing more. For the most part the Steelers came through a rough week around the NFL without any serious injuries. The keys to winning this week is really to continue what was started last week:
- Defense needs to get to the QB and stop the run
- Pound FWP all day with a little Mendenhall
- Big Ben needs to pick apart a weak secondary
Join us this Sunday night, here in the gameday thread as we talk about the game and cheer our Steelers to a victory!!!!
