One man is dead after getting caught in an avalanche out of bounds at Revelstoke Mountain Resort on Friday.
Unconfirmed reports indicate five people were skiing in the Greeley Ridge area beyond the boundary of Greeley Bowl when the avalanche was triggered.
RCMP said three people were caught in the slide. Two people were rescued uninjured but the third was not. According to unconfirmed reports, the survivors managed to dig out the deceased and performed CPR for 20 minutes to no avail. The four survivors were able to return inbounds; they left the deceased in the backcountry.
Revelstoke Search and Rescue is expected to recover the body on Saturday.
Cpl. Dan Moskaluk, a spokesperson for the RCMP, confirmed the death via his Twitter account.
The avalanche danger for the alpine and treeline was rated high on Friday, meaning natural avalanches are likely and human-triggered avalanches very likely. The day was characterized by heavy snow and wind, with the resort reporting 23 centimetres of new snow over the past 24 hours as of 4 p.m.
The avalanche bulletin said a spike in natural avalanche activity was to be expected on Friday. "Direct action storm slabs and deeper persistent slab avalanches are very likely with this system," the bulletin states.
The cause of the avalanche is not yet known.
The area the group was skiing is a popular side-country area that is easily accessible from the resort.
This is the second avalanche death in B.C. this week. On Monday, Feb. 18, Gotz-Thilo Ries of Germany died in an avalanche on Jumbo Mountain while heli-skiing with RK Heliski near Invermere.
These are only the second and third avalanche deaths this winter. The first happened when a surveyor was caught in a slide near Stewart, B.C., in October.
More to come…

The Bryce Milano Quintet is first out of the bag this fall, and they may be the youngest.
Bryce Milano, at 20, is nine years younger than the Brown Bag concert series itself at Mechanics Hall. But the jazz composer and mandolin player has been getting good notices for some time. Of an earlier Milano lineup, JazzMando.com wrote in 2010, "These boys are seriously good."
"We're all really excited," Milano said of performing for the first time both in Worcester and Mechanics Hall at noon Wednesday with a concert that kicks off the Brown Bag Concert autumn series. The free Brown Bag concerts are produced by Mechanics Hall and radio station WICN-FM (90.5).
Milano is a performance major at Berklee College of Music in Boston, and the rest of the quintet are Berklee students as well: Alex Hargreaves, violin ("Alex and I have been close friends since meeting each other at a bluegrass festival in Nashville when we were about 13"); Devon Yesberger, piano ("met at Berklee, now roommates"); Diego Ramirez, drums ("met in an English class at Berklee"); and Nori Shiota, bass ("met in — pianist and professor — Leo Blanco's ensemble at Berklee").
"This is a very new incarnation," Milano said of the quintet. "It's been an exciting process. There's a lot of new material we're putting together."
Originally from Clifton Heights near Philadelphia, Milano said he first heard mandolin when was 9 years old. He started playing the instrument soon after. By 13 he was performing.
"I'm still not sure what drew me to the instrument, being that I had no musical experience or interests prior to that, but the record was Nickel Creek's debut release (the progressive acoustic trio's 'Cow Poke')."
Meanwhile, "I starting listening to jazz shortly after going to my first bluegrass festival — oddly enough — and being introduced to swing and 'gypsy jazz' by a band called Too Blue."
Michael Borgida, marketing manager for off-campus projects at Berklee, got to know Milano through a student-run record label at the college, Jazz Revelation Records. Milano auditioned and was chosen to be on the latest release, "Ripple Effect."
"Bryce's fluidity and creativity on the mandolin make him stand out as one of the leading voices on the instrument," Borgida said. "His compositions capture elements of jazz and folk while keeping a contemporary, infectious groove."
Asked how he would describe the sound of his Bryce Milano Quintet, Milano replied, "'Acoustic jazz' is maybe the closest approximation I can come up with."
Most of Wednesday's set will be composed of his own music. "The band is definitely a bit of an experiment, as I think people will hear. The music I write has a fairly wide range of influences, which usually end up manifesting themselves in some way or another in almost every song I write."
The inspiration for the Brown Bag series was the idea of having a free organ recital to highlight the restoration of the Worcester Organ at Mechanics Hall, said Kathleen Gagne, hall publicist. The recital, and "very first Brown Bag concert" was July 7, 1983, she said. WICN broadcast the concert and soon entered into a partnership with Mechanics Hall to present the Brown Bag series.
"WICN is thrilled to continue our three-decade partnership with Mechanics Hall," said WICN general manager Gerry Weston. "The Brown Bag Concert series is a downtown Worcester tradition and a live radio tradition. The fall 2012 lineup is outstanding. And it's all free!"
The concerts are held at noon every Wednesday. People can bring their own lunch or purchase one at the hall prepared by Eric's LaPatisserie Caf�. Fallon Community Health Plan is sponsoring the autumn series. The rest of the autumn lineup is as follows:
Nov. 21: Pamela Hines Quartet. Boston MetroWest jazz pianist and composer Pamela Hines has won acclaim for "edgy jazz instrumentals" and the ability to "turn on a dime and bring forth the most inspiring rendition of an arrangement of a classic standard" (Jazz Times). She'll be joined by Greg Dudzienski (sax), John Lockwood (bass), and Les Harris (drums).
Nov. 28: Beantown Swing Orchestra. The Boston big band features "American Idol" finalist John Stevens and a repertoire that includes swing era classics and Sinatra.
Dec. 5: USAF Band of Liberty. The 60-member band, stationed at Hanscom AFB, returns to Mechanics Hall for a show with patriotic songs and sounds of the season as well as American Songbook favorites.
Dec. 12: The Makanda Project. Makanda Ken McIntyre (1931-2001) was a Boston-born jazz musician and composer who died in relative obscurity. But The Makanda Project is an ensemble dedicated to his legacy that performs McIntyre's work and demonstrates the full range and imagination of his compositions.
At noon Dec. 19, there will be a free "Festival Holiday Concert" featuring a combined choir from downtown Worcester churches, a hand bell choir, organ music, and sing-a-longs. For more information, visit www.mechanicshall.org.

This Email with the Subject "Hello," was received in one of Scamdex's honeypot email accounts on Wed, 29 Jun 2011 07:30:52 -0700 and has been classified as a Advance Fee Fraud/419 Scam Email. The sender shows as Albert Gaston <email@example.com>, although that address was probably spoofed. We recommend that you do not attempt to contact any persons or organizations referenced in this email, or follow any URLs as you may expose yourself to scammers and, at the very least, you will be added to their email address lists for spam purposes.
Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Albert Gaston I work as the Foreign Operations Manager with one of the international bank here in Burkina Faso. Although the world is very small place and hard place to meet people because you don't know who to trust or believe, but as I have developed the trust in you after my fasting and praying, i made up my mind to confide this confidential business suggestion to you.
Be rest assure that everything will be handled confidentially because, this is a great opportunity we cannot afford to miss, as it will make our family profit allot.
It has been 7 years ago, that most of the greedy African Politicians used our bank to Launder money overseas through the help of their Political advisers.
Most of the funds which they transferred out of Africa was gold and oil money that was supposed to used to develop the continent.
The Political advisers always inflated the amounts before transfer to foreign accounts so I also used the opportunity to divert part of the funds hence I am aware that there is no official trace of how much was transferred as all the accounts used for such transfers were being closed after transfer.
I acted as the Account Officer to most of the politicians and when i discovered that they were using me to succeed in their greedy act, I also cleaned some of their banking records from the Bank files and no body cares to ask me because the money was too much for them to control.
As am sending this message to you, I was able to divert Ten Million five Hundred thousand United State Dollars ($10.5M) to an escrow account that belonging to no body in the bank.
Now the bank is very anxious to know who is the real beneficiary of the funds because they have made a llot of profits with the funds. It has been more than six years now and most of the politicians are no longer using our bank to transfer funds overseas, majority of them don't have the power again, because their tenure has expired. The $10.5 Million Dollars has been lying in the bank as unclaimed fund.
I will soon retire from the bank and without wasting time i will like the fund to be release into your account, so that i will come to your country for the sharing of the fund, The money will be shared 60% for me and 40% for you .There's no one that is going to ask you any question about the funds because everything is well secured by me.
If you are interested in this transaction, do not hesitate to reply me back, but if you are not interested delete my message from your box.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Mr. Albert Gaston.

Portfolio managers from around the country are pouring in to Chicago in an annual summer pilgrimage to the Morningstar Investment Conference, where those on a quest for alpha can slake their thirst in hearing the views of the mighty and the yet undiscovered.
Will housing and homebuilders, industrials or consumer discretionary be the next big thing? Or should sectors be eschewed in favor of individual stocks, each on their merits?
Even alpha-seekers will likely appreciate the opportunity to hear beta-finder John Bogle (left), paragon of passivity, or an indexing approach to investing.
Bogle is one of five keynote speakers spaced through the Wednesday through Friday gathering at McCormick Place.
Though dispensing stock tips is not Bogle's thing, the 84-year-old retired Vanguard founder and author of 10 books, can usually be relied on for sagacious commentary on the financial services industry and investing.
But the opening keynote will certainly give stock hunters their first smell of the hunt. Michael Mauboussin of Credit Suisse, a managing director but formerly a research analyst, appeared for many years on both the Wall Street Journal's and Institutional Investor's lists of the best analysts. One of his books is titled More Than You Know: Finding Financial Wisdom in Unconventional Places, and that is likely to be of greatest interest to this audience.
While intense focus is a hallmark of top analyst, the quite opposite ability of viewing things with a distant and critical perspective may be the reason the artist Erik Wahl was invited to deliver a keynote address. While graffiti artists are usually seen as unwanted renegades, Wahl is working for the man most of the time with top blue-chip clients such as AT&T, Disney, Microsoft and ExxonMobil.
Wahl should probably want to meet Ronald O'Hanley, one of the senior executives of the behemoth Fidelity Investments. Besides overseeing the firm's asset management, research and corporate services, as well as serving on the firm's executive committee, O'Hanley sits on the board of the Institute of Contemporary Art and the East/West Institute, so his resume includes financial acumen and patron of the arts alike.
The three-day conference's closing keynoter is Carl Richards, author of the New York Times' popular Bucks Blog, whose hallmark sketches bring market concepts home to ordinary investors.
Richards, a CFP and director of investor education for the BAM Alliance of wealth management firms, is also an artist whose work appears on the gallery circuit in New York, London and elsewhere. So creativity—and how it connects to portfolio management—appears to be a theme stressed by conference organizers this year.

Danny Meyer And the Importance of Hospitality
Restauranteur Danny Meyer is best known for running eleven of the best places to eat in Manhattan, including Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern, The Modern and the Shake Shack; his latest is Setting the Table: The Transforming Power of Hospitality in Business. 37 Signals has a great post up, Danny Meyert: Hospitality Is King, with excerpts from the book, an interview and a speech he gave at NYU recently:
"The customer is not always right. While the customer is not always right, he/she must always feel heard." Meyer said his business strategy is built on both good service, defined as the technical delivery of a product, and "enlightened hospitality," which is how the delivery of that product makes its recipient feel. He argued that hospitality is the distinguishing factor for success in this new, service economy. In the information age, competitors know how to offer the same products and services, but the culture and experience companies create for their customers will help them stand out. "It's all about how you make the customer feel. You must make customers feel that you're on their side," he said."

If there's anything more inconsiderate than fire, I don't want to know about it. These guys know what I'm talking about. They're trying to enjoy a bit of snow hoonage in a Subaru STI when the engine catches fire and puts an end to their fun.
So what are you supposed to do when that happens, other than throw snow balls at the car?
Our tipster said that these fellows in Jordan were doing donuts in the STI (I thought everyone in the Middle East drove supercars?) when the owner encountered a problem with the fuel system that caused the fire. Their attempts to put out the flames are clever, if not terribly effective.
Hat tip to Suhaib!

The looming deadlines for implementing many key Affordable Care Act (ACA) provisions have many of your clients wondering how they can cushion the impact of the rising premium costs they fear will accompany them. Some clients have begun to hear rumors of their employers switching to plans with high deductibles—with correspondingly lower premiums for the employer—to avoid the so-called "Cadillac Tax." Whether your clients fear direct premium increases or higher annual deductibles, their out-of-pocket costs can be slashed using a tax-preferred vehicle that has been on the market for years: the health savings account (HSA).
Pre-tax contributions, coupled with tax-free earnings and withdrawals, make HSAs a powerful tool for covering the rising costs of your clients' health coverage. They also have the added bonus of reducing taxable income in the process.
The Affordable Care Act's Impact
Within the next four years, companies will become subject to an excise tax if they offer healthcare plans that cost more than $10,200 per individual employee or $27,500 for family coverage. This Cadillac Tax has many employers looking for ways to lower the cost of the healthcare options they currently offer employees, and the solution commonly involves switching over to plans with lower premiums and correspondingly higher deductibles (known as HDHPs).
This means that your clients who currently have comprehensive health coverage provided at little cost to them will soon be required to pay for more of their healthcare out-of-pocket before insurance coverage kicks in. Because a $5,000 deductible may soon become common, these clients will need an alternate solution to help lessen the burden.
Self-employed and small business clients have similar fears regarding the widespread perception that they'll see higher premium costs once the health insurance exchanges open late in 2013. These clients are similarly likely to resort to HDHPs to control premium costs though their out-of-pocket costs will rise through the high deductible that must be paid before coverage begins.
HSAs and HDHPs
HSAs were created as a supplement to HDHPs and, as HDHPs become more prevalent, clients should be made aware of the importance of taking advantage of an HSA to control out-of-pocket health expenses. For 2013 and 2014, an HDHP is a plan with an annual deductible of not less than $1,250 for self-only coverage or $2,500 for family coverage. Annual out-of-pocket expenses in an HDHP cannot exceed $6,350 for self-only coverage in 2014 ($6,250 in 2013) or $12,700 for family coverage ($12,500 for 2013).
To offset the cost of an HDHP, an individual (or his employer) is permitted to contribute $3,300 in pre-tax dollars to an HSA in 2014 ($3,250 in 2013). For family coverage, the limit is increased to $6,550 ($6,450 in 2013). The funds are contributed pre-tax, and they can also be withdrawn tax-free if used to pay for qualified medical expenses (which covers a wide range of expenses, from aspirin to premium costs). Much like a retirement account, earnings on the account value also grow tax-free.
Importantly, the funds in an HSA do not expire from year to year, so your client can build up a substantial account balance over the years to help cover the cost of health coverage.
Though the future of HSAs was uncertain when the ACA was originally passed, it has since become clear that these tax-preferred accounts will take center stage as an affordable strategy for funding the higher costs of healthcare that individuals are likely to see in the coming months and years.

scitis.io: welding agile tech to heavy industry with Google Cloud Platform
About scitis.io
scitis.io is a new independent digital platform for industrial machine tooling. By collecting and storing performance data from machines in real time, scitis.io can precisely track the lifecycle of a product throughout the industrial process and provide detailed analytics that optimise production and minimise waste. Read more about scitis.io at www.scitis.io
About SOTEC
Founded in 1980 as a developer of industrial micro-computing solutions, SOTEC creates software solutions and specialized electronic components for manufacturing and retail. A Google Cloud IoT Core Partner, SOTEC has 60 employees based in Ostelsheim, Germany and Sibiu, Romania. More about SOTEC at www.sotec.eu
Using Google Cloud Platform tools, scitis.io brings together data from the entire lifecycle of industrial products, creating a pan-industrial platform that breaks through the limitations of proprietary technology.
Google Cloud Platform Results
- Collects and analyses terabytes of manufacturing data in real time with Google BigQuery
- Enables rapid deployment and trouble-free implementation with autoscaling on Google App Engine
- Shares and compares information across globally dispersed companies and varied machinery on the cloud
Founded in 1452, Achenbach Buschhütten Group has produced high quality metals for more than five centuries. By embracing new techniques and technologies, the company has outlasted its competitors and now produces aluminium rolling machinery for everything from coffee cartridges to drinks cans and the batteries for electric cars.
"Our industry involves a lot of mechanics and a lot of automation," explains André Barten, CEO of Achenbach. "And like products in many industries, aluminium passes through machines at several companies, in several locations, on its way from being molten aluminium to becoming the finished product. That means manufacturing data is decentralised, and it's why we decided to create a way to pool data and use it to optimise productivity, quality and efficiency."
Achenbach engineers discussed the issue with manufacturing software experts at SOTEC, whose CloudPlug technology was already able to stream data from the digital controllers on machinery (PLCs) to the cloud. As one of the earliest Google Cloud partners in the DACH region, SOTEC knew that Google Cloud Platform tools would be able to collect and analyse the dispersed data in real-time, cost-effectively and at scale.
With Google BigQuery and Google App Engine, scitis.io gives traditional industries an unprecedented overview and insights into individual machines throughout the entire production process
"We're really bringing IoT to heavy industry, not just talking about what might be possible. Today, scitis.io is in place, connected, and delivering at scale. We've done it by taking the same cloud technology that's energising other industries and applying it to the historic, classical economy, bringing traditional industry into a Google world."—André Barten, CEO, Achenbach Buschhütten
Rapidly, both SOTEC and Achenbach recognised the potential of their project for optimising almost any industrial and manufacturing process. From their collaboration, scitis.io was born: an independent digital platform to collect, connect and analyse live data from industrial machinery.
"The machines scitis.io connects to can be 100 years old, and the PLCs (programmable logic controllers) that operate them only have to be renewed every 10 to 15 years. If a factory were to choose a proprietary system to stream data, they would be compelled to buy a new, proprietary PLC, which might cost close to $1 million," says André Barten, CEO at Achenbach Buschhütten. "Thanks to Google Cloud Platform, scitis.io delivers connectivity without the need to replace PLCs or other equipment, so the overall cost is peanuts in comparison."
Big data from heavy machinery
In manufacturing and heavy industry, the production process from raw materials to finished product is very data heavy, as Florian Holz, Co-founder of SOTEC and scitis.io, explains: "In the past you were never able to compare or analyse live data between plants or to create a full history of data due to capacity limits on local computers. Cloud enables that, so we can have all data centrally without dialing in or sending hard drives around the world."
With CloudPlug, SOTEC had already developed a system to draw information from PLCs and deliver it to the cloud. The next step for scitis.io was to leverage that data and make it available for analysis.
To do that, scitis.io is built on Google App Engine and uses Google BigQuery to store, parse and interrogate data. To present that information, scitis.io uses Tableau run on Google Compute Engine instances. Because these Google Cloud Platform tools can be scaled up and down at speed, scitis.io customers can deploy the solution to new mills without enlisting additional help from technicians or fiddling with hardware. Unusually within heavy industry, that also means customers can use the system on a trial basis without being tied into a commitment.
"In my view, Google BigQuery is the only data warehouse as a service available today. It's highly scalable and really tackles the core industrial problem of how to collect data and have it to hand," says Florian. "We can assess trends and behaviour of thousands of machines at once, and it only takes a couple of seconds to crunch a terabyte of data. That's revolutionary for heavy industry, which typically thinks in terms of megabytes and individual machines."
"The SOTEC CloudPlug technology connects industrial machines to the cloud, and Google Cloud Platform was the obvious choice of provider due to its data handling capacity, big data stack and scaling. The single most important driver for our choice was autoscaling on Google App Engine – nothing else comes close."—Florian Holz, Co-founder, scitis.io
Sharing across companies with the cloud
With Achenbach, scitis.io went from proof of concept to full first release in 20 months. For Achenbach, each PLC uses CloudPlug to deliver data on speed, thickness, flatness, breakages and waste in the aluminium rolling process. That data enables the company to assess the effectiveness of different work shifts or diagnose faulty equipment and order spare parts with minimal disruption to production. Where previously it was only possible to look at data from the last three months from a single machine, now Achenbach can take live and historical data from its 300 mills worldwide to analyse macro trends in minute detail.
Because of Google's open tools, Achenbach can also look at data from machinery from other companies involved in the process, such as those operating furnaces and grinding machines. "With scitis.io we can go beyond Achenbach machinery," explains André. "Because now we can look at the machines in the process before and after our devices and really see the whole supply chain."
"Neither scitis.io or Google Cloud Platform are tied to proprietary technology in heavy industry, so we can work with any PLC and we don't have to defend our legacy on the ground," says André. "Meanwhile leveraging Google's technology and scalability means we can set up a solution very quickly. That all keeps costs down, because our upfront investment is low, investment in new machinery is kept to a minimum, and we don't have to defend multimillion dollar investments into automation."
Teaching old machines new tricks with Cloud IoT Core
SOTEC is a Google Cloud IoT Core partner, with access to the private beta version of Google's new managed service to easily and securely connect, manage, and ingest data from globally dispersed devices. Integrating Cloud IoT Core with the scitis.io solution is a natural next step, as is applying Google Cloud AI to the expansive datasets collected from new partnerships. Meanwhile scitis.io continues to build new associations with new clients, convincing them that Google Cloud Platform's ISO/IEC 27017 compliant data centers will deliver the security they demand.
"When companies ask about the safety and security of using the cloud, we tell them that, firstly, only cloud can produce this performance and scale so rapidly to their needs, and secondly, all communications are one-way, so information is very safe. Third, Google's cloud professionals are far better equipped to handle security than staff at small workshops dispersed around the world," says André. "Taken together, it's clear that their data is safer with Google Cloud Platform."

5 Reasons Why 30A Luxury Homes Make the Best Investment
If you are one of the many people dreaming of owning a gulf front home as an investment property but are confused with all the choices on the market, you could start by looking at 30A luxury homes for sale with gulf views. If you are looking for low-maintenance properties, you may want to consider a gulf front condo.
Many buyers are anxious, or hesitant, about buying Gulf front properties because of the high cost associated with maintenance. However, there are fabulous 30A luxury homes, with gulf views, or even gulf front condos, where the maintenance is less costly. In fact if you purchase a gulf front condo (or any condo for that matter) the Condo Association is responsible for the maintenance!
Here are 5 reasons why you should buy a 30A luxury home for sale:
1. A beach home is more than just the structure.
Buying a home along 30A is more than just buying gulf front property…It's a lifestyle. If you prefer to walk and bicycle everywhere (park your car when you arrive and don't think about driving until you leave), then check out these Scenic 30A communities: Seacrest Beach Homes for Sale, Rosemary Beach homes for sale or Alys Beach Homes for sale.
Maybe you want to be a bit more 'remote'? And 'remote' along Scenic 30A is a 5–10 minute drive to get to your destination! If so, then one of these communities might be of interest: Seagrove Beach, Grayton Beach or Blue Mountain Beach.
Properties with beach access are just as popular whether or not they are directly gulf front.
2. A struggling economy makes beach homes more affordable.
A struggling economy, in general, lowers the demand for luxury homes and beachfront property. This means that it is a great time for investors to buy gulf front property and luxury homes along 30A at a reduced price. Waterfront properties are priced lower than they were just a few years ago and will be the first to recover now that the economy is starting to improve.
3. Beach homes make great rental properties.
You can rent out your 30A luxury home on a weekly, monthly, or seasonal basis, to help offset costs. Scenic 30A is a special place where people can take a vacation any time of the year. Let your luxury home earn for you all year long by having the guests pay for it!
4. Take a beach vacation any time.
Because you already own a home along 30A, you can save thousands of dollars when you take a vacation by simply visiting your luxury home. Having your own rental property can make vacations easier to plan and more affordable. You get to take a vacation, in one of the world's most beautiful destinations, without having to worry about lodging expenses in a faraway place.
5. Live in your very own home along 30A.
If you choose to, you can make your 30A luxury home your primary residence. In Florida, when you live in a property full-time, you can save money on property taxes by claiming a homestead exemption. Living in your own beach home along 30A allows you to enjoy the pleasures and laid back lifestyle of living in the area!
When choosing an investment property, make sure you are making the right decision by consulting an agent who knows the area well and has a lot of experience with 30A luxury homes. You can visit www.30ALuxuryHomes.com to get more information about buying homes along 30A.
Call me, Debbie James at 850–450–2000. Let me provide you with all the information and tools you need to make your dream 30A luxury home a reality.

"When Quality Service & Experience Matter"
Big Mansion Homes For Sale in GautengIf you look out into the Atlantic, past the Scituate, Massachusetts, harbor you can see Minot's Ledge Light blinking 114 feet above the swell. For the past 150 years the lighthouse has warned boaters about the shallow, shipwrecking rocks close to shore, but recently the Coast Guard decided it wasn't relevant anymore, and this fall the light became private property.
My dad grew up in the harbor the light protects, and my grandmother trolled for striped bass with a handline out past the ledge. Stories about the lighthouse dovetailed with our family's history. Eight months pregnant with my father, my grandma pointed a skiff out into the teeth of a nor'easter to tie down her boat, the Little Gull, under the flash of the light. I get the lighthouse obsession from both sides. My mom did her architecture school thesis on lighthouses. She spent a summer visiting lights along the eastern seaboard. She started in Hatteras, North Carolina, near where she grew up and moved north, toward Hull, Mass., toward my dad.
Minot's blinks 1–4–3, so people call it the "I Love You Light," and before Ray J made it a bad R&B song, my parents would sign letters and then send texts 143. That lighthouse is part of our narrative, and I don't think we're the only weirdos who put emotional weight on places. I feel irrationally possessive of Minot's light, even though I've never been in the tower. The fact that it no longer belongs to the public — that it's owned by an individual who can turn it into a vacation house or tear it down — feels like a transgression.
Part of that is nostalgia. I think it's the same kind of analog fascination that makes people want to slaughter their own chickens, or take up sewing, but it feels a little more exciting than that. It hits deeper, because it draws back to when you could get lost in the ocean, when you needed a beacon to bring you home.Credit: Boston Public Library
But almost no one navigates just by visual markers these days, which is why in 2009, the Coast Guard decided that they didn't need to hold on to Minot's Ledge Light anymore. The U.S. General Services Administration, which is essentially the real estate arm of the government, was tasked with getting rid of it. That summer, they posted a notice of availability. No one bit on the original bid, and this June, they put it up again for $10,000. On October 13th, Bobby Sager, Polaroid's chairman, won the auction and bought the lighthouse for $222,000.
It's not just the Minot's Ledge lighthouse that's changing hands. The General Services Administration, which likes to call itself "The Nation's Landlord," is in charge of selling off any federal property that's deemed irrelevant. Their website is full of Black Hawk helicopters and former cop cars.
Among the federal detritus, lighthouses are a special case. As a whole, they're basically obsolete — they're only designed to do one thing — but they're also historically significant, so the feds don't just want to flatten them. In 2000, the GSA, the Coast Guard and the Department of the Interior passed The National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act, an amendment to the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. It lets the federal government give away lighthouses to qualifying local governments, non-profits, or community development organizations. They try to put them in the hands of groups that will keep them open to the public, but sometimes, like in Minot's case, no public entity wants the responsibility. Then the property goes to a private auction. Since the act passed, they've transferred ownership of 68 lighthouses to non-profits and historical commissions for free, and sold 39.Credit: Boston Public Library
Minot's light has been giving people feelings since it was built in 1860. The ledge it's built on was notorious for wrecking boats because of its steep shelf and twitchy tides. Minot's was constructed to replace an earlier light, which was swept away in a storm. Two lighthouse keepers were killed when it went down and they're said to haunt the new house. I'm not sure if it's the romance, or the ghosts, but it's always drummed up a kind of fascination. The local brewery makes a Minot Light, Thoreau wrote about it, and it's been used in ads for Cape Cod Cranberries and American Tobacco cigarettes.
Minot's has a good story, but it's not the only one that's been celebrated. Artist, writers, and poets, from Marianne Moore to James Taylor, have canonized lighthouses. People name churches and rehab centers after them. "Beacon in a storm" might be one of the most overplayed metaphors of all time.Lighthouses aren't the only kind of obsolete public buildings that we put on a pedestal — I think people feel similarly about fire towers — but lights hit the crosshairs of history, design, adventure, and allegory.
The GSA says they're "a symbol of the strength and longevity of our country's trading practices and communal spirit." In less governmenty terms they're markers of a kind of simplicity and purposeful adventure, which is now all but obsolete. Unlike my grandmother, I'm not pulling bass into a boat by hand. I barely know how to read a nautical chart (although there is an app for that), and sometimes, even though it's irrational, that feels like a loss.
Some of the people purchasing auctioned lighthouses feel the same as me, and they're buying them to save them. Last year, in Boston Harbor, just north of Scituate, Dave Waller bought Graves Island Light, which is a direct design copy of Minot's, for $933,888. At the time it was the most anyone had paid for a lighthouse. To find the money, he and his wife mortgaged their house, as did his mom, to help them out. "We went all in," he says. He says he didn't have any solid reason for buying it, just that same deep-seated nostalgia and a long-standing but loose family tie. As a kid, he sailed by it in his dad's boat.
Waller has done a ton of work on the tower. He's rechinked the granite blocks to make it watertight, and put in running water and electricity. He's arguably made it better. He's says he's planning to open it up for occasional tours, and that the response has been really good. Lighthouse fanatics have reached out to tell him they're glad he's renovating it, and that they can see the good parts of private ownership.But, ultimately he's turning it into a vacation house. "I kind of feel guilty buying it, taking it, and making it mine, because it was built with public money, but it was put up for free to non-profits first and there were no takers."Credit: Boston Public Library
Minot's future is still up in the air. Sager hasn't officially said anything about what he's planning to do; he's actually been radio silent since the sale. But Waller, who has been in close touch with him because Sager was the other bidder for the Graves light, says that he's talked to him about his plans, and that, for now, he's going to leave it untouched. The light, which is powered by solar batteries, will still flash, and the Coast Guard will come by every once in a while to check on it. Sager grew up in Malden, on the North Shore of Massachusetts, so maybe he just has that same nostalgia-fueled fascination. Maybe he just wants to be able to see it flash.
No one in my family lives in the Scituate harbor anymore, and it's morphed from a fishing town to a summer vacation spot for people from Boston. Most of the boats in the harbor have the names of other places across their sterns, and the dock where my grandma used to drop her catch is now lined with tchotchke shops. Last summer we went back and piled cousins and aunts into a rented house. At night we'd take beers out to the back porch and count the pulses from the light, picking out which ones said "love" and which ones said "you."

We are a nonprofit organization working on issues intersecting agriculture, community and environment. Our initiatives solve problems common to these topics by considering them comprehensively rather than as a single issue, resulting in more effective action. Most of our work is tied to reducing water quality impacts from production agriculture. We are working on an innovative community model that utilizes renewable energy made from prairie grasses grown on environmentally sensitive land currently in annual tillage here in our intense corn and soybean region. The conversion of land from annual tillage to perennial grasses greatly reduces pollution loading from nitrogen, phosphorous and sediment. It also creates new business enterprises and stronger rural communities.
This logo will be used mostly with a general audiance.
At times, we will use it to target rural communities, organizations working on rural economic development, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy and students.
The logo will promote our project, the Madelia Model, where we plan to demonstrate how a rural community can use renewable energy as a catalyst to add living wage jobs from new enterprises, improve water quality and wildlife habitat, and reduce climate change through carbon sequestration and reduced emissions.
The words "Madelia Model" need to be in the logo.
The word "The" may preceed the words Madelia Model.
Color is desired, including up to a full four color process.
A sub tiltle of "Renewable Energy and Sustainable Rural Communities" may be used.
While I am open to all innovative ideas for this project, one thing I have been thinking about is how to represent the conversion of prairie grasses to renewable energy within a simple logo.
In addition, the logo may include representation of the connections between agriculture, environment and community.

Time for an update on my activities last weekend at the 11th Annual Gathering of the Juggalos Festival in Cave in Rock, Illinois. In my last blog, I mentioned I had a lot to write about. I do. The Tila Tequila incident is not being forgotten...and apparently little Tila is surging ahead with a lawsuit against the promoters of Gathering of the Juggaloes stemming from her encounter with some 'nasty' Juggaloes last weekend. The purpose of this blog today is to give you a feel how it felt, not only backstage with the other wrestlers, but the general mood of being right in the middle of 20 some odd thousand people who follow two guys, the Insane Clown Posse, all over the country whenever they perform a show. Whether you're a fan of the ICP or not, one thing you will have to admit is that they've tapped into a very loyal fan base and a fan base that pro wrestling should be studying. The closest thing that I've ever seen in the pro wrestling business that even comes close to the loyalty of the ICP fan...was the loyalty that the old ECW fans displayed back in the old bingo hall days.
In case you missed my earlier blog...what is a Juggalo? Hell, if I know, but I know one when I see one. I can't even explain it in words that would get you to understand it. So, in lieu of words, click on this video of comedian Tom Green, who documents his one night stand with the Jugs. The video opens with Tom sitting with Tila Tequila at an airport gate talking about the upcoming Gathering on the Juggalos. Watch it and then come back here..for the rest of this blog.
I've heard so much about the ICP Gathering. I've heard it was dangerous, weird, surreal, loud and the damnest thing I would ever see. I can attest to all of that but I want to add one thing. Even with all those elements in play, for me, and I'm just speaking for myself, I enjoyed my stay more at the Gathering than I enjoyed myself at Wrestlemania, at Starrcade, at any TNA PPV that I've ever done and any show I ever booked in Puerto Rico. I had a blast and one reason is that when you see a Juggalo...you get what you see. They're some real people....albeit a little over the top. To me, it was the most fun that I've had in the wrestling business in the last 15 years. So with that said...on with the blog.
But two days later, I got another call from Corporal Robinson, a wrestler who helps book ICP their wrestling events and who I've known for several years. The good Corporal said that they had an great interest in booking me for the Legends part of the Juggalo wrestling event at the Gathering. I like Corporal and he has always been straight up with me but I told him that I had always heard that the Juggs are notorious for beating the crap out of wrestlers during their events. Of course, this was weeks before the event and now after you've witnessed, the Tila Tequila incident, you have some indication of what I had been hearing and what I was trying to avoid. I had no desire to get the dog crap beat out of me by a wild mob of people for no apparent reason...other than I was a 'human target'. But he promised that the problem had been taken care of and that there would be no rowdy behavior this year. I thought, how do you get Juggalos to just stop their medieval behavior? Just ask them? I was hesitant but he promised that I would have no trouble at all. I even made him 'pinky promise'. He did. So I agreed to go.
Corporal then laid out what and when I would be going into the ring. I have never heard this in my entire wrestling career. I wasn't given a match number, I was given a time and that time was...4AM. Let me repeat that. 4AM??? WTH? I couldn't believe what I had just heard. I was scheduled to go into a wrestling ring during an event called Flashlight Wrestling, of which I had also never heard of, but that was to be my participation in the Legends part. I don't want to get ahead of my story but I ended up doing exactly like it was laid out...and I set two personal records at one time. I set a record for earliest and latest match in my career. Actually, my match officially began at 5AM on Sunday morning, August 15th, 2010 for those keeping score and for the always vigilant and correct Wikipedia historians.
I remember a song by Hank Williams Jr. who more or less sung the anthem of wrestlers years ago...when he commented on making show after show after show trying to make it in the country music business. The answer is..YES. This was exactly how he did it. That's what what brought back the old memories...traveling all night to get to this town.

The answer is..YES. This was exactly how he did it. That's what what brought back the old memories...traveling all night to get to this town.
Now lets get to the actual 'finding of this place." I think I could have found Jimmy Hoffa quicker. I knew it was in Illinois...close to a town called Cave in Rock which was only about 80 miles from Evansville. When I used to work out of Memphis, we wrestled in Evansville every Wednesday night back in the day. So 80 miles was nothing. I thought. The plan was for me to drive to Evansville and meet up with Doug Gilbert and Road Dog Jesse James, who were working another show in Evansville that night. After their show, we would all meet and travel together to the Gathering show. So the plan looked good from the beginning.
Doug had arranged a limo service to take us First Class to the Show and we left Evansville at 9:30PM on Saturday night in plenty of time to make the show since none of us weren't supposed to work until 4AM. When I got into the limo, I asked the driver what time did he expect to arrive at the Gathering and he told me around 11:30PM. That was our first ETA time. That was what he said. That wasn't what ended up happening.
Actual shot taken of my "OFFICIAL" limo, August 14th, 2010 as we left around 8PM for the 'short' 80 mile trip to the Gathering from Evansville, Indiana.
So we started driving. The 1st indication that we were leaving civilization was my cell phone dropped its signal about 30 minutes outside Evansville. As I looked outside, I could see nothing but pitch darkness. No street lights, no cars coming in the opposite direction, nothing. But at least, we were on a nice two lane paved highway. Then about 45 minutes into the drive, the driver, who wore sunglasses the entire trip. for no apparent reason other than to appear cook, turned south onto a secondary road.
This secondary road would be more described as a driveway...it was a narrow two lane highway with barely enough room for two cars to fit on it. It was dark because we were in total farmland. No street lights, no red lights, no town or even communities to go through. This is there the Odyssey began. Forget GPS because nobody in the car had any InterNet connection at all. But I thought the driver knew where he was going. I found out that the driver wasn't really a 'real' driver at all. He turned out to be a furniture salesman who just agreed to drive this limo for the night. The limo wasn't even from a limousine service. It was a limo that some guy has just bought years earlier and had been sitting in his garage for years until Doug told him we were going to this show and he offered to let us use it. This was the start of the nightmare.
So we started driving...and I started wondering why the Clowns would pick such an out of the way place to hold their annual Gathering. Later on, I found out. This place was handpicked for several reasons...the most primary reason is that its remote and hard to get to. If its hard to get to, its hard to police and that would mean the the Juggaloes could have their wild ass party with a minimum of police intervention. Perfect.
Since we had no directional instructions..no GPS nor did anybody in the car possess the common sense to spend $3.99 on a Rand-Mcnally Road Map, sure enough, we were LOST. Big time lost. There's wasn't anything out there. No cars moving around, no place to stop and ask and not any houses to speak of and the ones we did see, there was nobody brave enough to go up and knock on the door. The Texas ChainSaw Massacre movies kept popping in my head. After 20 or 30 minutes to driving just to find anything that would give us an indication of where we were, we finally saw a sign that said , Cave In Rock, Illinois. Wow..finally. We all breathed a sigh of relief as we slowly drove into this dark little Illinois town at about 12 midnight. It was late but finally we were at the place we needed to be.
We drove up over a little hill and we stopped dead in the road. We stopped..because the road stopped. BAM!!! We completely dead ended into a big river and we could go no further. We stopped and got out....and there was complete silence. It was hot and humid...and there were no lights from the houses, no lights from the little storefront business and absolutely no traffic moving around. Nothing. The town literally looked like a ghost town and no movie producer or Hollywood set designer could have produced it better. At the left of the road when it ended, was a small playground complete with swings, slides and a see saw set. But no signs of life. There was a 50 gallon trash can attached to a short post and when I looked into the can, there was no trash. Nothing. Funny, the things you think when you're way out in the country and LOST.
We all got out...and I asked the driver...who still had his sunglasses on where were we? His reply was, "I don't know." Well, if he didn't know then none of us knew. It was already 12midnight and he had predicted we would be at the show at 11:30PM and we were already 30 minutes behind schedule and LOST.
The driver looked like the dead guy from Weekend at Bernie's except he could walk on his own but Bernie could probably read a map as well as this guy could. As I looked around at this straight out of a horror movie scene, I fully expected Michael Myers to come running out between one of those darkened houses with an axe and kill us all. This NIGHT OF THE JUGGALOS might not have been such a good idea I surmised.
We got back in the limo and starting driving some more. I told the driver...if you see a sign that says Evansville, take it and I'll go back home. The driver kept asking us if we were going the right way...and we told him...that we were on our first trip too. What if you were flying on a plane and suddenly the pilot came down the aisle and asked the passengers, "hey are we headed in the right direction?". I would say that would panic most passengers. At one point, I almost volunteered to take over the driving chores and I hate to drive. But there's only one thing I have more than driving and thats driving LOST.
As we rolled down the two lane blacktopped road with it getting later and later..it was 12:30AM by this time, we saw a trailer off the the left and got a glimpse of a couple of guys standing in the driveway. Usually, we would nver pull in someone's driveway late at night but we had no choice really. As we pulled in, the guys in the driveway...I call it a driveway but it was more like a car path just in front of the trailer...we asked them where the F was this Juggalo thing going on. I could tell that this limo pulling into the trailers' driveway completely caught these guys off guard. They took their time walking up to the limo and as they got closer, they looked at us like the hillbillies looked at Burt Reynolds and his crew in Deliverance. they finally gave us some general directions and I was glad that one of them didn't say, "You got a purty mouth boy." As soon as we got the directions, I said to the Weekend at Bernie's driver...."Let's get the hell outta here."
From the time we left Evansville to the time we actually found the site was over a 4 hour trip. 4 hours to cover 80 miles...that's not moving too fast. But finally...we saw a bunch of police lights...some of them blue..some of them red adn they were all flashing as we pulled up in the limo. The cops had about three or 4 cars pulled over and were giving the field sobriety tests to the drivers. Most of the people they had pulled over wore all the Insane Clown Posse makeup.
One cop had a young fat girl...about 24/25 years old going through the paces of determining whether she was drunk or under the influence. I'm not an expert but it didn't take a forensic scientist to figure out that this girl was stone cold hammered. The girl was stone cold hammered and almost fell down when she took the first step. She was dressed in a halter top....and all she had on down below was a pair or red panties. No shorts, no shoes, nothing but panties. She went to jail.
As we stopped, one of the cops wanted to know who we were and what was our business here? We told him that we were going to wrestle at the Gathering...and it was almost like we had told him we were his long lost brother. He smiled and looked into the back of the limo and said, "Well who do we have back there?"
I spoke up first and said 'Dirty Dutch' and the cop said..."damn, Dirty Dutch, how the hell are you?"
Then Road Dog said his name and then Doug Gilbert..and he knew all of us. Funny thing about being a wrestler, it sometimes works highly in your favor. He then told us we were about 10 minutes away from the front entrance to the festival and to be careful. He said they had already had a little trouble...a singer had been attacked on stage he said. I found out later, the cop was talking about Tila Tequila and the Juggalos were in rare form. He told us to be careful because they (the police) couldn't come onto the property unless there was a death. If I wasn't scared enough, talking to this cop damn sure didn't relieve any of my stress. He also told us that they had arrested a couple hundred people. Oh and BTW he said, they had just gotten a report of a stabbing.
WTF? OK...now I thought that this was one BullShit show I had booked myself onto. Here I am, out here in this GodDamn God Forsaken Hell Pit of the World..with a bunch of f'n loony tunes not to mention psychotics not to mention dangerous psychotics in the middle of the night with no telling how much they've been drinking or doing drugs. But here I was...and if I could, I would have had Scotty beam me up...and take me out of this situation I was in. I didn't feel scared but I damn sure didn't feel safe. But I was in too deep now to even think about turning around. Damn, where was I to go? It was dark, I was lost, none of us had any idea where we were and it was close to 1AM in the middle of f'n nowhere. Could it get any worse I thought? Maybe I shouldn't have thought that...it could get worse.
We drove a little more but we still didn't see anything. I could not believe that a music festival like this could be so hard to find. The paved road then turned into a gravel road...as we finally got close enough to see where the GATHERING fans were camped out. It was very dark but on both sides of the dirt road, all I could see were hundreds of tents..rows and rows of tents one right after the other. Suddenly, I wished I was in the tent business because whomever had this contract damn sure wrapped up. There were literally hundreds and hundreds of little tents but where were the people? Some of the tents had clothes hanging out to dry, and small campfires left unattended. People were around...but we weren't seeing them. Past these tents, there were parking lots jammed packed with cars and trucks and you could see feet poking out the through the windows. I guess those were the ones who couldn't afford the tents.
We drove for several more minutes through this tent city...and I've never seen more tents erected in my life. Then we started seeing a few faces...but they were all painted white in the fashion of their heroes, ICP. As we rolled past, it was very eerie as we watched those white faces all watching us and in dead silence. All they did was stare at the limo as it slowly rolled past.
There was no moonlight so the only light we could see were a few temporarily erected streetlights every couple hundred feet or so. Not only did it look surreal, it felt surreal too. There was no noise at all. I even rolled down my window but heard nothing but the sound of tires crunching on the gravel road. After hearing so much about these crazed Juggaloes, I halfway expected to see them chasing each other with chain saws and long butcher knives.
This place was packed to the hilt. We finally saw the light of a HUGE bonfire off a couple hundred feet to the right. Activity was starting to pick up and then, we came right up on a car that was partially blocking our path. Some guy was standing outside the car in semi-darkness and talking in Arabic it seemed into a cell phone. I don't speak Arabic but it didn't sound like he was ordering a pizza from Papa Johns. He was excited and was talking very fast. I don't know how he even had a signal but he was talking to someone. We motioned him over to ask him if we were going the right way and he told us that he was a cab driver and had just dropped somebody off and as he was leaving, he was accosted and had just been robbed at gunpoint!!!
F**K!!! WTF? Yeah, this day had been one of the most interesting of my life up to his point...but I don't know whether I was at a music/wrestling show or watching a rerun of Law and Order but what lay ahead scared the crap out of me. I still had to enter the gates of THE GATHERING and what lay ahead I had no idea but we already had reports of a singer attacked by the crowd, a stabbing and now, a strong arm robbery. But nobody said this was a church outing or a Boy Scout Jamboree. This was pure JuggaloVille and the night was just beginning. I still had a match to get to and I had no idea how that would turn out. One thing though....I had come a long way from Madison Square Garden and the Memphis Mid South Coliseum to a wild and crazy underground music festival in Cave In Rock, Illinois but to tell the truth, this was a helluva lot more exciting. I'll give it to the Juggalos..they damn sure ain't boring. As I looked at what was in front of me, a wild scene straight out of Halloween, Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Friday the 13th, I knew that this night wasn't over and I still had to make it til daylight. The surprises weren't over yet.
Part 3 you'll hear about FLASHLIGHT WRESTLING, A 7' FOOT FEMALE WRESTLER AND HEAR ALL ABOUT THE DOPE BRIDGE AND HOW IT FELT GOING TO THE RING AT 4AM IN THE MORNING.

The Central Connecticut football team earned a 38-31 victory over Duquesne on Saturday at Arute Field. The victory is the first of the season for the Blue Devils and comes on CCSU's annual homecoming weekend. Junior Andrew Clements and sophomore Rob Hollomon led the way with career-high performances.
The Blue Devils (1-5, 1-2 NEC) recorded a season-high 495 yards of total offense with Clements throwing for a career-high 188 yards. On the ground, CCSU ran for 293 yards with Hollomon rushing for a career-high 164 yards.
The Blue Devil defense capped the game by forcing a turnover-on-downs on the Dukes' final drive of the game. Duquesne's Sean Patterson threw a pair of incomplete passes and then was sacked by redshirt freshman Mark Robinson and junior Chuck Watson on third down. Facing a fourth and 16, Duquesne threw deep down the right sideline, in a last effort to tie the game, but junior Chris Linares broke up the pass and secured the win for the Blue Devils.
Senior Juan Duque capped CCSU's first drive of the game with a 22-yard field goal, which gave the Blue Devils a 3-0 lead in the game and their first lead of the season. The Blue Devils got the ball when junior Markeith Cirinna forced a fumble deep in Duquesne's territory. The loose ball was recovered by junior Aaron Strumski.
Central expanded the lead by scoring touchdowns on its next two drives. Both scores came via short touchdown runs by Clements who finished with 83 yards on the ground in addition to his passing yardage.
Duquesne (4-2, 2-1 NEC) cut into the lead with a Ryan Ho touchdown run with 6:17 remaining in the half.
The Dukes tied the game in the second half with a touchdown and a field goal to start the third quarter.
The Blue Devils quickly grabbed the lead back on a 34-yard touchdown pass from Clements to senior Deven Baker and extended the lead on their next drive with a 14-yard touchdown run by senior Nate Pagan.
The Dukes continued to fight, scoring on a 18-yard touchdown pass from Patterson to Ryan Ho.
CCSU's offense again answered quickly, this time on a 29-yard scoring run by Hollomon. The big play of the drive was a 42-yard pass from Clements to sophomore Thomas Tarantino that pushed the Blue Devils into Duquesne territory.
Duquesne found the end zone again in the fourth quarter, but the Blue Devils held on for the 38-31 victory.
The defense was led by junior Patrick Atkinson who recorded nine tackles, including three solo stops. Cirinna totaled five solo-tackles and eight total for the game, in addition to his forced fumble.
The CCSU offensive line helped the team rush for 5.6 yards per attempt and average 6.6 yards per play.
Clements was 14-of-22 passing with a touchdown and no interceptions. He also carried 17 times. Hollomon rushed 23 times and was not stopped behind the line on any of his carries.
Duque was 5-of-5 on point after attempts and hit his only field goal attempt of the game.
The Blue Devils return to action next Saturday at Robert Morris. Fans can watch that game on NECFrontRow.com and listen to the game on Fox Sports Radio 1410 AM.
