The pledge also involves letting people from out of town crash at your house, and to "display kindness in the face of frustration and patience in dealing with the inevitable hiccups of a first-year festival." (UPDATE: After just an hour of signups, all of those 700 locals-only presale codes are completely spoken for.)
In honor of the Superbowl, 49er fans can use the code "GOLDRUSH" to get $49 off.
As of yet,
no individual day tickets are announced, but based on what I know about festival ticket sales in general, I can predict that there will likely come a time when individual day tickets become available. UPDATE: Single-day tickets go on sale on Wednesday, Feb. 20. Individual day tickets are $129.
A full comedy lineup is expected to be announced in mid-February, and food, beer and wine will naturally be part of the festival as well.
The excellent lineup is a massive coup: Bottle Rock is being put on not by Live Nation, Another Planet or Goldenvoice but by two Napa locals, Gabe Meyers and Bob Vogt, who had a hand in the resurrection and reopening of the Uptown Theatre. Needless to say, it's a huge deal for Napa.
More details here as they come in.

By my count, that's about seven bands that are huge headliners in their own right, plus a lot of festival heavy-hitters. Not to mention: there are over 40 bands scheduled to descend on the Napa Valley for the festival, with a complete lineup and full info promised for this Friday.
The festival runs May 8-12 primarily at the Napa Valley Expo, which will have four stages. Other shows are at various venues around town, including the Uptown Theatre. Food, wine, craft beer, comedy, and afterparties throughout downtown are all part of the deal.

UPDATE II, Jan. 31: The Black Crowes have this festival listed on their official website tour dates. Also, little birdies are chirping that Macklemore is playing a kickoff show for the festival , and judging by the festival's first-ever tweet, that's probably very likely. There's also a "leaked" lineup going around that is almost certifiably fake.
UPDATE III, Feb. 1: Lots of news this morning.
Added to the festival: Jane's Addiction, Kings of Leon, Furthur featuring Bob Weir and Phil Lesh, Primus, Zac Brown Band, Dwight Yoakam, and Cafe Tacuba.

The incredible thing is that this festival is not being put on by Live Nation, Goldenvoice, or even Another Planet. It's being put on by two Napa locals, Gabe Meyers and Bob Vogt, who had a hand in the resurrection and reopening of the Uptown Theatre.
I'll say it yet again: This is nuts.

Quick shots/Icehogs
Having fun with IceHogs' early statistics
The Rockford IceHogs lead the Midwest Division, the Western Conference and are tied with Manchester for the most points in the AHL (15). They are tied with Texas for most goals scored (34). They are unbeaten at home, despite trailing in all three.
A 7-2-1-0 start is impressive. Misleading? We'll see.
Even they will admit to a bit of luck so far.
"It hasn't been the prettiest every night," said second-year winger Terry Broadhurst.
"We've won some games where we haven't played all that well," head coach Ted Dent admitted after the latest example, Sunday's 4-2 victory over Texas. "I just told the guys I was happy they stuck with it and that we were fortunate to get the two points.
"We have to get better in certain areas of our game, and we will."
They should improve. And they have 15 points in the bank that could pay huge dividends when they make their annual late playoff push that has fallen just short the past three seasons.
Numbers game
Texas toasted Rockford goalies with 92 shots in their two meetings this season, an average of 46 per game – or way, way too many.
Still, the IceHogs won 4-3 and 4-2.
"We have to compete harder down low and communicate better with our defensive coverage," Dent said. "And when the puck is on our stick, we have to try our best to get it out of our zone right away."
Billion? Zillion?
Just what are the odds that all six regular-season games between Rockford and Texas the past two years saw teams squander two- or three-goal leads and lose?
"It's crazy," Dent said. "It's unbelievable. I don't think you could do it over again if you wrote it up. I don't know how to explain it."
I-90 shuttle
Brad Mills became the 56th former IceHog to play in the NHL, and 43rd different 'Hog to suit up for the Blackhawks.
Already this season, five 'Hogs have skated with Chicago – Mills, Jeremy Morin, Jimmy Hayes, Brandon Pirri and Joakim Nordstrom.

The theolog's survival pack
Penal Substitution Revisited
J. I. Packer
- J. I. Packer is a British Anglican theologian. He is Board of Governors' Professor of Theology at Regent College in Vancouver, Canada. He is regarded as one of the most important evangelical theologians of the 20th Century. View all resources by J. I. Packer
Throughout my 63 years as an evangelical believer, the penal substitutionary understanding of the cross of Christ has been a flashpoint of controversy and division among Protestants. It was so before my time, in the bitter parting of ways between conservative and liberal evangelicals in the Church of England, and between the Inter-Varsity Fellowship (now UCCF) and SCM in the student world. It remains so, as liberalism keeps reinventing itself and luring evangelicals away from their heritage. Since ones belief about the atonement is bound up with ones belief about the character of God, the terms of the gospel and the Christians inner life, the intensity of the debate is understandable. If one view is right, others are more or less wrong, and the definition of Christianity itself comes to be at stake.
An evangelical theologian, dying, cabled a colleague: I am so thankful for the active obedience (righteousness) of Christ. No hope without it. As I grow old I want to tell everyone who will listen: I am so thankful for the penal substitutionary death of Christ. No hope without it. That is where I come from now as I attempt this brief vindication of the best part of the best news that the world has ever heard.
It is impossible to focus the atonement properly until the biblical mode of Trinitarian and incarnational thought about Jesus Christ is embraced. The Trinitarian principle is that the three distinct persons within the divine unity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, always work inseparably together, as in creation, so in providence and in every aspect of the work of redemption. The incarnational principle is that when the Son took to himself all the powers and capacities for experience that belong to human nature, and began to live through his human body, mind and identity, his sense of being the Fathers Son was unaffected, and he knew and did his Fathers will, aided by the Spirit, at all times. It was with his own will and his own love mirroring the Fathers, therefore, that he took the place of human sinners exposed to divine judgment and laid down his life as a sacrifice for them, entering fully into the state and experience of death that was due to them. Then he rose from death to reign by the Fathers appointment in the kingdom of God, and from his throne to send the Spirit to induce faith in himself and in the saving work he had done, to communicate forgiveness and pardon, justification and adoption, to the penitent, and to unite all believers to himself to share his risen life in foretaste of the full life of heaven that is to come. Since all this was planned by the holy Three in their eternal solidarity of mutual love, and since the Fathers central purpose in it all was and is to glorify and exalt the Son as Saviour and Head of a new humanity, smartypants notions like divine child abuse as a comment on the cross are supremely silly, and as irrelevant and wrong as they could possibly be.
As in all the Creators interacting with the created order, there is here an element of transcendent mystery, comparable to fog in the distance hanging around a landscape, which the rising sun has effectively cleared for our view. What is stated about is clearly revealed in Gods own witness to himself in the Bible, and so must be given the status of non-negotiable fact.
Again, the atonement cannot be focused properly where the biblical view of Gods justice as one facet of his holiness, and of human willfulness as the root of our racial, communal and personal sinfulness and guilt, is not grasped. Justice as such, as Aristotle said long ago, is essentially giving everyone their due, and whatever more Gods justice (righteousness) means in the Bible, it certainly starts here, with retribution for wrongdoing. We see this as early as Genesis 3, and as late as Revelation 22:18-19, and consistently in between. Gods mercy to guilty sinners is framed by his holy hostility (wrath) against their sins.
For human nature is radically twisted into an instinctive yet deliberate and ineradicable habit of God-defying or God-denying self-service, so that Gods requirement of perfect love to himself and others is permanently beyond our reach, and falling short of Gods standard marks our lives every day. What is due to us, then, from God is condemnation and rejection.
The built-in function of the human mind that we call conscience tells everyone, uncomfortably, that when we have misbehaved we ought to suffer for it, and to that extent conscience is truly the voice of God.
Both Testaments, then, confirm the judicial retribution from God awaits those whose sins are not covered by a substitutionary sacrifice: in the Old Testament, the sacrifice of an animal; in the New Testament, the sacrifice of Christ. He, the holy Son of God in sinless human flesh, has endured what Calvin called the pains of a condemned and lost person so that we, trusting him as our Saviour and Lord, might receive pardon for the past and a new life in him and with him for the present and future. Tellingly, Paul, having announced the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation (i.e., wrath-quencher) by his blood, to be received by faith, goes on to say: This was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus (Romans 3:2-26, my emphasis). Just justification - justified justification - through the doing of justice in penal substitution is integral to the message of the gospel.
Penal substitution, therefore, will not be focused properly till it is recognized that Gods redemptive love must not be conceived - misconceived, rather - as somehow triumphing and displacing Gods retributive justice, as if the Creator-Judge simply decided to let bygones be bygones. The measure of Gods holy love for us is that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us and that he did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all (Romans 5:8, 8:32). Evidently there was no alternative to paying that price if we were to be saved, so the Son at the Fathers behest through the eternal Spirit (Hebrews 9:14), paid it. Thus God set aside the record of debt that stood against us nailing it to the cross (Colossians 2:14). Had we been among the watchers at Calvary, we should have seen nailed to the cross Pilates notice of Jesus alleged crime. But if by faith we look back to Calvary from where we now are, what we see is the list of our own unpaid debts of obedience to God, for which Christ paid the penalty in our place. Paul, having himself learned to do this, testified: the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me (Galatians 2:20).
This text starts to show us how faith in Christ our penal substitute should be shaping our lives today; which will be my final point for reflection. Thirty years ago I wrote an analysis of insights basic to personal religion that faith in Christ as ones penal substitute yields. Since I cannot improve on it, I cite it as it stands.
(1) God, in Dennys phrase, condones nothing, but judges all sin as it deserves which Scripture affirms, and my conscience confirms, to be right.
(2) My sins merit ultimate penal suffering and rejection from Gods presence (conscience also affirms this), and nothing I do can blot them out.
(3) The penalty due to me for my sins, whatever it was, was paid for me by Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in his death on the cross.
(4) Because this is so, I through faith in him am made the righteousness of God in him, i.e. I am justified; pardon, acceptance and sonship (to God) become mine.
(5) Christs death for me is my sole ground of hope before God. If he fulfilled not justice, I must; if he underwent not wrath, I must to eternity (John Owen).
(6) My faith in Christ is Gods own gift to me, given in virtue of Christs death for me: i.e. the cross procured it.
(7) Christs death for me guarantees my preservation to glory.
(8) Christs death for me is the measure and pledge of the love of the Father and Son to me.
(9) Christs death for me calls and constrains me to trust, to worship, to love and to serve.
(Cited from Tyndale Bulletin 25. 1974, 42-43)
A lawyer, having completed his argument may declare that here he rests his case. I, having surveyed the penal substitutionary sacrifice of Christ afresh, now reaffirm that here I rest my hope. So, I believe, will all truly faithful believers.
In recent years, great strides in biblical theology and contemporary canonical exegesis have brought new precision to our grasp of the Bibles overall story of how Gods plan to bless Israel, and through Israel the world, came to its climax in and through Christ. But I do not see how it can be denied that each New Testament book, whatever other job it may be doing, has in view, one way or another, Luthers primary question: How may a weak, perverse and guilty sinner find a gracious God? Nor can it be denied that real Christianity only really starts when that discovery is made. And to the extent that modern developments, by filling our horizon with the great metanarrative, distract us from pursuing Luthers question in personal terms, they hinder as well as help in our appreciation of the gospel.
The church is and will always be at its healthiest when every Christian can line up with every other Christian to sing (or, in these musically dizzy days, to learn to sing) P. P. Blisss simple words, which really say it all:
Bearing shame and scoffing rude
In my place condemned he stood,
Sealed my pardon with his blood-
Hallelujah! What a Saviour!

Some say the school ignored previous accusations against the teachers. In a high-profile move to restore parent trust, the school is replacing all the teachers and staff. They'll still be paid, and could come back to Miramonte at a later date. The school also emphasizes that none of the other teachers or administrators is suspected of any crime.

|HIV Infections
|Drug: TMC-114
This is a program to provide early access to TMC114 (a protease inhibitor) for HIV-1 infected patients, who have failed multiple antiretroviral (ARV) regimens and who are ineligible for participation in any other Tibotec-sponsored HIV trial. Patients need to be at least 3 class experienced (PIs, NRTIs, NtRTIs, NNRTIs or FI), to have previously received 2 different protease inhibitor-based regimens and to not be virologically suppressed on their current regimen. Patients eligible for any other Tibotec sponsored HIV trial but located more than 100 kilometers away from a study site, will be considered eligible for this early access program.
This program will be conducted as an open-label, non-randomized treatment study. Once treatment with TMC114/r in combination with other antiretrovirals (ARVs) has been initiated (baseline visit), patients will follow the recommended visit schedule based on routine clinical care. No other protease inhibitor combinations other than TMC114/r are to be used in this study, except atazanavir (ATV) and indinavir (IDV) may be allowed. Trial medication will be dispensed every 8 weeks. Treatment with TMC114/r will be continued until treatment-limiting toxicity, loss to follow-up, patient's withdrawal, pregnancy, discontinuation of TMC114 development or when TMC114 has become commercially available.
Selected safety and tolerability data, including adverse events will be collected throughout the study. A urine pregnancy test will be repeated at baseline for female patients if more than 4 weeks have passed since the test at screening, and urine pregnancy tests will be performed at all other visits. In addition, data on CD4 count and viral load will be collected over the treatment period according to local standard of care practice, in order to ensure that patients continue to benefit from treatment with TMC114/r. A final/withdrawal visit as well as a post-trial treatment follow-up contact (4 weeks after the final/withdrawal visit) will be performed. Patients will take oral doses of 600 mg of TMC114 twice daily in combination with 100 mg of ritonavir twice daily, in combination with other antiretrovirals.

Working in the shelters in Northern Japan
March 24, 2011
Today the Scientology Volunteer Ministers were asked to expand their activities in Onagawa, Miyagi Prefecture (see below). With almost 6,000 reported dead and 6,675 people still missing the region of Miyagi is leading the list of severely affected areas.
More than 200 additional Volunteer Ministers are preparing to leave for Japan to fulfill the demand for help. However more logistical support is needed and there are many more shelter where we can serve.
Please support the activities on the ground by doing the following:
- Keep yourself briefed by regularly reading this blog.
- If you can volunteer in Japan (at least for one month) please download and fill out our application form and email it to us.
- If you can't leave for Japan right now, please donate to the IAS. Your help will be very much appreciated.
- At this time only very specific material donations are needed. Please contact us at email@example.com if you have any questions.
Letter from Onagawa Town Disaster HQ/translation:
24 March 2011
TO: International Scientology Volunteer Disaster Relief
Thank you for the work the Scientology Volunteer Disaster Relief Team is doing at the shelters in Onagawa Town.
I have heard many disaster victims say they feel good, relaxed, relieved from body pain, and healed from the trauma of this disaster after this group delivered the technology called "Assists" developed by L. Ron Hubbard.
The disaster victims were relieved of mental and physical pain and restored to positive thinking, which is the first step for recovery of this town.
I would like others to support this group in creating relief for disaster victims.
Please arrange for this group to work in all areas. We request relief and support actions from this group for Onagawa Town and other cities, towns and villages of this region. This is a very reliable group and they work hard to bring relief in the shelters.
Therefore, I hope that many cities, towns and villages will support them in expanding their activities.
Onagawa Town Disaster HQ
Head of HQ

Hello, I'm currently making a Ratchet And Clank mod.
The mod is based on the game, and it's in dev.
What is currently in :
Here are videos of them in action :
Helipack : http://gfycat.com/AcceptableHiddenDragon
Thrusterpack : http://gfycat.com/PlasticFamiliarAmphibian
The swingshot & the orbs
It has two different hook orbs : The green one, and the yellow one.
The green one simply makes you go to it.
The yellow one makes you swing. ( Not yet in the mod )
Videos of it in action :
http://gfycat.com/PastelCheapCalf Green one
The bolts :
Explosive Crates :
Once it's done, make the vendor !
Helipack :
Once you've got your clank, you can do the helipack helices :
And the final craft :
To make bolt crates :
(any kind of wood works )
It might give you more than one, since the craft cost changes with versions.
To make explosive crates :
( For server owners : Don't worry if it might seem cheap, it does not destroy blocks )
You can download it here :
What's planned next :
- In about a week, 0.5.3
What it will add : Bugfixes, and little tool-tip showing up when you hold a weapon for the first time. It will tell you how a weapon works, and if it's still WIP or not.
- In about a month, or more since I'll have exams in June, 0.6
This update will be centered around the theme chosen with the poll. It will take some time to do, depending on which theme is chosen ( The secret one is going to be hard to do ) but I'll manage it.
- After that, I'll basicaly do 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9 using the other themes.
Example : If Graphics get chosen for 0.6, 0.7 will be about weapons, 0.8 will be about gadgets, 0.9 will be bug fixing, and general improvement of the code. 1.0 would then include the secret thing, meaning the mod will have completed enough things to consider it "finished", and will mark the start of the modules era ! Modules will basically be this : You'll have one coremod, adding nothing, and modules, adding game contents. You'll be able to have the Ratchet & Clank module, giving all the stuff from the 1st game, the R&C 2 module, giving stuff from the 2nd game, and so on.
This is going to be long. My hope is to get to 1.0 before 2016.
Of course, there are going to be updates in-between big content updates ( 0.x.x etc... ), I won't just do 0.7 then go on to 0.8
I don't want to release new versions too often, so I guess two updates a month would be good, and if I do an update notifier, then I'll just do updates as much as I can, and you'll know when a new one is out without having to check for it on the forums / curseforge.
Thanks to o0DemonBoy0o for the models, he ripped them.
You can find all the models used here : http://www.models-re...3/ratchetclank/ ( First game only, since I haven't made weapons from the other games. The vendor is recolored only, model wasn't touched. )
Thanks to Marvien14, who made the VisiBomb, added crafts, and helped me fixing bug etc...
He is a contributor, so some weapons etc.. will be made by him !
Conditions for using the mod, or sharing it :
If you want to share the mod, I have no problem with that ! Only send the official download link, since they're the only links that are SAFE, and they do not have any ads on them.
You can do a YouTube video, at the only condition of giving a link to this page in the description, and sharing it here, so I can see it
You can use the mod freely, and put it in every modpack you want. You just need to post the modpack name here, so I can see it, and you must give me credits, with a link to this page, in the place where you tell people the mods in your modpack. Also, people don't lie about being this mod devellopper. It's not good, and you won't get anything from saying that.
Minecraft is owned by MOJANG, and I do no take any credits for the game, only for the modification I made for it.
Ratchet & Clank is owned by Insomniac Games, and I do not take any credits for it, only for the port I made for Minecraft, wich is a fan tribute, and is not in any way a commercial thing.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Marion Edwards, an amiable, wisecracking political operative and businessman who shared numerous triumphant political campaigns as well as a courtroom defense table with his older brother, four-time Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards, died Saturday at his home in Broussard, La.
He was 84.
Family friend and spokeswoman Bonnie Warren in New Orleans said the family did not release a cause of death but noted that Edwards was a cancer survivor who often made efforts to counsel other cancer patients over the years.
Edwin Edwards did not immediately respond to requests for comment made through family members and friends.
In contrast to his silver-haired, dapper older brother, Marion was balding, often frail-looking and less often in the spotlight. Still, he displayed his brother's trademark sense of humor and audacity. After both were indicted by a federal grand jury in an alleged health care scheme in 1985, prosecutors labeled Marion a "bag man" for his brother. Marion lampooned the characterization during "media night' at a French Quarter bar, walking in with a shopping bag atop his head like a crown, tossing phony $100 bills.
Both men were acquitted in the 1980s case, which took place during Edwin Edwards' second term. The former governor would eventually serve prison time on federal corruption charges stemming from a riverboat licensing scheme in his fourth term. He was released in 2011.
Marion was part of the campaign when Edwin, a populist Democrat who had been constitutionally barred from a third consecutive term in 1979, came roaring back to power with a landslide win over Republican Gov. Dave Treen in 1983. And he was part of the entourage that headed to Paris the next year, a trip arranged by the campaign to raise money to pay off a $4 million campaign debt.
The year 1983 also held tragedy for the family. Another brother, attorney Nolan Edwards, was shot to death by a former client in 1983, bringing a jarring halt to the politicking and resulting in the campaign's most sobering photo: a distant view of Edwin and Marion, locked in an embrace on an airport tarmac.
A statement released by his family said Marion Edwards is survived by his wife Deborah "Penny" Meaux Edwards, his three children from his first marriage to Aline Luther Edwards: Wanda Edwards, Elizabeth Kersten and Donna Edwards.
Edwin Edwards is the last surviving sibling from a group that also included a sister, Audrey Isbell, and a brother, Allan Edwards.
Visitation will be held in the Edwards' home town of Crowley at Geesey-Ferguson Funeral Home on Monday from 2 to 8 p.m., and Tuesday from 8 to 10 a.m. The funeral will be held at the First Church of the Nazarene in Crowley, on Tuesday at 11 a.m.
The family asked that, In lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Marion D. Edwards Fellowship in Hepatic Oncology, at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston or Hospice of Acadiana in Lafayette.

Bay Area News Group File
Bay Area News Group file
Kids love ghost stories. They love ghost tours — on which they discover the hotel room next door is supposedly haunted — even more.
Then they go to bed and the idea becomes a lot less lovable in the dark.
But the resulting sleeplessness just shows you how good the Columbia State Historic Park's ghost tours are.
That's not the only surprise awaiting first-time visitors to the town that seemingly stopped aging in the 19th century. Folks dress in period clothes. Many buildings have been rooted in place for more than a century. The only vehicle allowed downtown is the stagecoach — and a stagecoach ride is a must. Hotel rooms are as close as possible to what they were in the 1800s, without asking guests to forgo electricity and indoor plumbing.
And there's gold in that thar town.
Columbia — which sits in the Sierra foothills off Highway 49 near Sonora and Jamestown — was the site of a major gold strike in 1849 when a storm halted passing prospectors. They discovered gold in a nearby stream, and fortune seekers and merchants began pouring into the area in a matter of days. Within just a few years, the once uninhabited spot was one of the largest cities in California — the second or fourth, depending on whom one asks.
That rich stream is long gone, but they still pan for gold in Columbia. Janis Groeger, who grew up in Campbell, owns the town's gold-panning business. Sediment is brought from a nearby claim (they won't say where, in case you turn out to be a lowdown, dirty bandit), and visitors spend $5 to $12 to sift through the sand in long, water-filled troughs.
Kids love it, because everyone is guaranteed to strike gold — even if it's just a bit of dust. "No one goes home empty-handed," says Groeger, who moved to the area in 1981.
Lessons come from real prospectors, including Ken Valenta, the 2010 U.S. Gold Panning champ, who looks and sounds the part. My kids would still be there if we hadn't had a date with some ghosts.
After a colorful stop at the candle-dipping place, we start the ghost tour at the 19th-century City Hotel, where we happen to be staying. Volunteer Carol Biederman has guided the tour for 18 years and possesses just the right amount of dry drama to spin her tales. Builder George Morgan committed suicide at the City Hotel, and his ghostly form may still roam the premises. There have been numerous sightings of a grief-stricken woman in period clothes, pining for her lost baby — which would explain the crying heard late at night and reports of an unoccupied rocking chair moving back and forth.
The tour goes up an adjacent street, to a house where a landlord killed his tenant during a dispute in 1875, doing the dastardly deed right in front of a handyman — reportedly, all three have been spotted as apparitions. Then it's off to Columbia's spook central — the Fallon Hotel, which was built in 1859 by Owen Fallon. The ghost of his grown son, James, has been spotted at the hotel and the theater next door. There also seems to be something at the hotel that likes to move furniture and steal the toys of young guests. Actress Betsy Palmer, in town doing a stage production, reportedly once heard something moving furniture in an uninhabited room.
After the tour, I asked Biederman if she ever gets creeped out by the stories. "I do," she said, dropping her voice so the others can't hear. "But I don't share those ones."
History is everywhere in Columbia. On a town tour, we discover the cottage across the street from our hotel is the house Gary Cooper was filmed exiting in "High Noon." A block down is a barn used in the film "Young Guns." We hear about the politics and events that shaped Columbia, as well as the fires and other disasters that posed challenges.
Columbia's proximity to Sonora and Jamestown is great for visitors. If you're there for more than a couple of days, trek four miles into surprisingly lively Sonora, where the Diamondback Grill is worth the wait. Jamestown is home to Railtown 1897 State Historic Park, where 45-minute train rides take you through the countryside to film locations for everything from "Unforgiven" to "Pale Rider," "Back to the Future Part III," "High Noon," "Petticoat Junction" (they still have the water tower), "Gunsmoke," "Bonanza" and "Little House on the Prairie." The free roundhouse tour is fascinating with its up-close looks at train engines, machine shops and tools — but it's a bit long for young children, especially if it's hot outside.
There are a surprising number of caves and caverns in the region, too — we'd hoped to tour Moaning Caverns, on the road between Columbia and the Stanislaus River (my kids were pining to do the ziplines), but ran out of time. At a mere two-and-a-half hours from the Bay Area, Columbia can easily become a regular destination for the family. Next time, we'll just have to add an extra day for those ziplines.
Contact Tony Hicks at Facebook.com/BayAreaNewsGroup.TonyHicks or Twitter.com/insertfoot.
Columbia State Historic Park, 11255 Jackson St., Columbia, 209-588-9128, www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=552. Most stores and attractions are open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The park has two hotels, City Hotel and Fallon Hotel; prices range from $66 to $170, depending on number of guests, room type and day of week (camping and cottages are also available).
The ghost tour and stagecoach rides cost $10 (reservations are recommended for the ghost tour, as it gets booked up months in advance). Panning for gold costs $5-$12. Town tours are free.
Railtown 1897 State Historic Park, 18115 Fifth Ave., Jamestown. Open daily (9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. April-October; 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. November-March) Trains run hourly from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekends; $15 for adults, $8 for children ages six to 17. Roundhouse tours are free. 209-984-3953, www.railtown1897.org.
Parents need to know: Bring books for down time, as the hotels have no televisions or wi-fi (cell phones work fine). Streets are dusty, and the area gets warm in the summer and cold in the winter. Expect kids to get wet while panning for gold. If you need snacks or any other groceries, plan ahead: The Columbia stores close at 5 p.m. (but Sonora is just four miles away).
Nearby eats: There are a few restaurants in Columbia, most of which are more than adequate. But the Columbia House is not one of them. Waits are long, the restaurant is understaffed, and the food is below average.

Major Section: INTRODUCTION-TO-THE-THEOREM-PROVER
Rewrite rules make ACL2 replace one term by another. This is done by the rewriter, which is part of ACL2's simplifier. The rewriter sweeps through the goal formula trying all the rewrite rules it knows. Here's an example. Just pretend that you have made a rewrite rule from the formula below.
(implies (and (natp i) (< i (len a))) (equal (put i v (append a b)) (append (put i v a) b)))Then every time the rewriter sees a target term that matches
(put i v (append a b))it considers the rule, with the variables
a, and
of the rule bound to whatever terms matched them in the target, say
the terms i, v, a, and b. To consider the rule, the
rewriter first tries to establish (``relieve'') the hypotheses. In
particular, it rewrites:
(natp i) ; hyp 1and
(< i (len a)). ; hyp 2If both hyptheses rewrite to true, then the rule fires and replaces the target by:
(append (put i v a) b).In short, rewrite rules direct ACL2 to rearrange the terms in the goal formulas.
We are more precise later, but for now we turn to the question of how do you
make a rewrite rule from a formula? The answer is, you prove the formula
with the
defthm command. Recall that
(defthm name formula ...)commands ACL2 to try to prove formula and, if successful, build it into the database as a rule according to your specification in the rule-classes argument of the ... part of the command.
To make it easy for you to generate rewrite rules,
defthm has a simple heuristic:
if you don't tell it what kind of rule to generate from formula, it
generates a rewrite rule! Thus, if this command
(defthm name formula)is successful, ACL2 will have a new rewrite rule in the database, even though you did not explicitly tell it to add a rule.
A common mistake for the new users is to forget that the above command adds a rewrite rule. This often results in a tangle of rules that lead nowhere or to infinite rewriting that you will have to interrupt. It is also good to remember that the command only adds a rule. It does not magically make ACL2 aware of all the mathematical consequences of the formula: it just makes a rewrite rule.
When you prove a theorem with
defthm you are programming ACL2.
Being careless in your statement of lemmas is tantamount to being careless
in your programming.
ACL2 can generate rewrite rules from formulas that look like this:
(IMPLIES (AND hyp1 ... hypk) (eqv lhs rhs))where eqv is either
EQUAL or
IFF, and lhs is not a variable
symbol, not a constant, and not a call of the function
IF, and not
a call of an abbreviation (``macro'') that expands to any of these. So illegal
lhs include
(IF X Y Y), and
(OR p q). The last
is illegal because
OR is just an abbreviation for a certain
Technical Note: This tutorial introduction to the theorem prover takes
liberties with the truth! We are trying to give you a useful predictive
model of the system without burdening you with all the details, which are
discussed in the reference manual. For example, using directives in the
rule-classes you can rearrange the proved formula into the form you want
your rule to take, and you can make ACL2 take advantage of equivalence
relations eqv other than just
EQUAL and
IFF. But we'll ignore
these fine points for now.
We call the hyp terms the hypotheses of the rule. We call lhs
the left-hand side of the rule, and we call rhs the right-hand side
of the rule. If the conclusion of the rule is an
EQUAL term we
call it an equality rule. Otherwise, it is a propositional equivalence
rule. If there are no hypotheses, k=0, we say the rule is
an unconditional rewrite rule; otherwise it is conditional.
ACL2 allows several special cases of the shapes above. See special-cases-for-rewrite-rules, but come back here and continue.
A rewrite rule makes ACL2 seek out occurrences of terms that match the left-hand side of the rule and replace those occurrences using the right-hand side, provided all the hypotheses rewrite to true in the context of the application of the rule.
That is, the left-hand side is treated as a pattern that triggers the rule. The hypotheses are conditions that have to be proved in order for the rule to fire. The right-hand side is the replacement and is put into the formula where the pattern occurred.
Now for some clarifications. ACL2 only considers enabled rules. And ACL2
will use a propositional rule to replace a target only if the target occurs
in a propositional place in the formula. Generally that means it occurs in
the argument of a propositional connective, like
IMPLIES, and
IFF, or in the test of an
IF. When we say that the
left-hand side of the rule must match the target we mean that we can
instantiate the variables in the rule to make the left-hand side identical
to the target. To relieve or establish the hypotheses of the rule, ACL2
just applies other rewrite rules to try to prove the instantiated hypotheses
from the assumptions governing the occurrence of the target. When ACL2
replaces the target, it replaces it with the instantiated right-hand side of
the rule and then applies rewrite rules to that.
If a hypothesis has variables that do not occur in the left-hand side of the rule, then the pattern matching process won't find values for those variables. We call those free variables. They must be instantiated before ACL2 can relieve that hypothesis. To instantiate them, ACL2 has to guess values that would make the hypothesis true in this context, i.e., true given the assumptions of the goal theorem. So if you're trying to prove
(IMPLIES (AND (TRUE-LISTP A) (MEMBER (CAR P) A) (MEMBER (CDR P) A)) ...)and the target you're rewriting is in the ``...'' part of the formula, the rewriter knows that
(MEMBER (CAR P) A) and
(MEMBER (CDR P) A) are true. So if a rewrite rule is considered
and the rule has
(member e x) as a hypothesis, where
e is a free
variable but
x was bound to
A in the pattern matching, then
it will guess that
e must be
(CAR P) or
(CDR P), even though
there are many other possibilities that would make
(MEMBER e A) true.
Of course, whatever guess it makes must also satisfy all the other hypotheses that
e in the rule. It simply isn't very imaginative at guessing!
The most predictable rewrite rules have no free variables. You can add pragmatic advice to help ACL2 with free variables, telling it to try all the possibilities it finds, to try just the first, or even to compute a ``creative'' guess.
It is possible to make the rewriting process loop forever, e.g., by
rewriting alpha to beta with one set of rules and rewriting beta
to alpha with another. Even a single rule can make the process loop;
we'll show you an example of that later in the tutorial. ACL2 can handle
commutativity rules without looping. It uses
(equal (+ x y) (+ y x)) to
(+ B A) by
(+ A B), but not vice versa. (It is sensitive
to alphabetic ordering when dealing with permutative rules.)
Logically equivalent formulas can generate radically different rewrite rules! Rearranging the propositional structure of the formula or swapping the left and right sides of an equality -- while having no effect on the mathematical meaning of a formula -- can have a drastic impact on the pragmatic meaning as a rule. To see an illustration of this, see equivalent-formulas-different-rewrite-rules.
Developing an effective set of rewrite rules is key to success at using ACL2. We'll look more at this later in the tutorial.

Another Lisp beginner here. I'm currently reading ANSI Common Lisp by Paul Graham (PG). I've come to the chapter on functions and the sub chapter on closures. There are some things that confuse me. *Thought about it for a while.* Hm, now that I have thought about it I think that I have pretty much worked out most of what confused me. But I'm probably wrong about some things so I'll just write some thoughts and you can point out to me where I'm wrong. There are some questions in there, too.
PG writes:
- Code: Select all
(defun make-adder (n)
#'(lambda (x)
(+ x n)))
But apparently it works just as well without the #'. What's the difference? Why do PG write #' if it isn't needed? I thought #' meant something like "Get the function that this symbol refers to, from the function namespace (or whatever it's called)." But (lambda ...) isn't a symbol, so I shouldn't need it, right? But then, why does it even work to prefix (lambda ...) with #'? I mean, if it doesn't make sense I should get an error.
Another thought I had was that it would be neat if I could do ((make-adder 3) 2) and get 5 (almost wrote 6, that would be neat). But apparently I can't. I don't understand exactly why, although I know that forms (I'm not sure I even know what a "form" is exactly) are evaluated only (?) when they are arguments to functions. So, maybe (make-adder 3) is not evaluated when I write ((make-adder 3) 2) because it's not an argument to a function. Then I tried (setf a (make-adder 3)) and (a 3) but that didn't work. I guess that's because a is now a variable in the namespace of, hm, regular values, and not in the function namespace (What are they usually called?), right? (setf (symbol-function 'a) (make-adder 3)) and then (a 3) worked. Of course, I know about (funcall (make-adder 3) 3) so I don't need to use symbol-function all the time.
So I guess there were only two proper questions in there: Why PG writes #'(lambda ...) and why ((make-adder 3) 6) doesn't work. Although, if you notice that I've got something wrong, or know of any pits I might fall into, please point that out.

I am from Pittsburgh and have been visiting Butler once a week over the past two weeks.
Last week, I parked on Main Street during a snowstorm and decided to bide my time at Element Cafe. While I spent nearly six hours there, working, I also made sure to spend a fair amount of my money in return, in part because I enjoy supporting local businesses.
This week, however, while attempting to repeat my productivity from my previous visit, I was greeted with two $20 parking tickets. The explanation was that it was a meter violation, and while I "get it," technically speaking, there are no meters on Main Street.
This leads me to my concern. What message are you sending to visitors such as myself with a two hour limit enforced with a hefty $20 fine that recurs every two hours? "Please visit our city, but don't visit too long?"
By comparison, a city with a similar amount of industry, albeit slightly larger, Wheeling, W.Va., has parking fines of $3.50. Furthermore, it makes little sense to have a fine in place that can be avoided by walking out to my vehicle every 90 minutes and finding a new parking spot. That seems an excessive, dull task for one who is happily spending their money at local establishments. The message appears to be, "Engage in this neurotic behavior of constantly moving your vehicle, or pay us to keep your parking spot, or else leave."
While the City of Butler wins the battle, I'm afraid that laws such as this mean they are losing the war. The health of a city can be measured by its industry, which means local businesses need to thrive and generate revenue. What I've learned, though, is that visitors are not appreciated in Butler. Therefore, I am forced to take my patronage elsewhere, where I am welcomed and will be valued as a customer and visitor unless this nonsensical practice ceases. Given that the latter seems unlikely, I am likely bidding my farewell.

Small Space Luxury: La Boite LD Series Laptop Dock Desks
Equipped with seven drivers, a subwoofer, two additional surround speakers in the rear and dedicated USB audio dock, these two laptop dock desks from La Boîte Concept are sort of a small space dweller's laptop dream desk come true.
Delivered in a pair of modest sized boxes, the La Boîte Concept LD 120 and LD 130 come delivered with the legs and one central speaker/tabletop. Inside the desk is a USB plug-in to DAC (ATOLL Burrbrown sound card USB DAC), which improves outgoing sound. The primary difference between the two models is physical size, color/finish options, quality of the driver (paper vs. kevlar), and overall watts available, but they're both very space efficient.
They've even been so nice to put together an assembly video, showing how easy and quickly one can put together the LD desks (looks like they utilize the same sort of twist and locking screws IKEA is fond of). Don't make the mistake of falling in love with these too quickly like we did. With the weak dollar, the smaller LD 120 will set you back over $1,285 (sans shipping) and the larger LD 130 a tear-inducing, $1,941.
DIY, anyone? Seems like one could create something similar using the ZVOX Z-Base 555 speaker and some IKEA hacking...

The owner of the birds from the first scene (roftop) realises one of his top birds did not return from the flight.
2 days after landing a competing squadron's member the fancier (courtyard) is being convinced to return the bird to its owner with no ransom.
Original owner of the bird in question has made the fancier who caught this bird pay ransom for multiple birds in past five years.
Obviously there is bad blood between them but some of the respected fanciers in town are playing the peace-broker role to reduce the tension.

Oppenheim Law
Eminent Domain: A Foreclosure Fix From The Trenches -- Yahoo! Homes
News • Jul 24, 2012 10:55 EDT
Roy Oppenheim's commentary was originally published on Yahoo! Homes and is being redistributed on South Florida Law Blog with their permission.
Eminent domain, where the government can seize properties without an owner's consent, is meant to be used for significant public benefit.
Usually when the government takes a home under eminent domain, it is expanding a road or building an airport.
Or it is using it to eradicate blight in urban areas.
But now we have a twist in which it is not the homes themselves but their mortgages that might be seized under eminent domain.
As you may have seen, a company called Mortgage Resolution Partners is suggesting that local municipalities use it to help keep people in their homes.
They are proposing that local governments use eminent domain to pry underwater mortgages away from the banks. MRP says that it would then assist these municipalities by structuring a more equitable loan, which could then be sold back to investors.
The people living in these homes would be allowed to continue to stay in their homes, under the terms of this new mortgage.
It's a bold idea, one that's not necessarily new, but one that's finally getting some attention.
Officials in several counties in California are listening, including San Bernardino County,which is itself in bankruptcy.
And really, shouldn't they be?
Whether you like this plan or not, and plenty in the real estate community do not, how can you rationally argue that preventing foreclosure isn't the embodiment of a significant public benefit?
It is what eminent domain was made for.
Here's the truth about the housing crisis. The solutions to fixing it are not coming from the crystal towers or Washington D.C. They are coming from the trenches, from the minds of entrepreneurs and local officials who actually have a stake in their communities and know what it's like to go broke.

Sam and Joyce Medley may not be Mr. and Mrs. Claus, but they are the closest things to them this side of the North Pole.
The Medleys, who live in Finchville, love Christmas so much that walking into their home around Christmastime is like walking into Santa's toy shop or stepping into a magical land, where one first encounters a miniature village decked out for the holidays, with wreaths on every tiny door and candles glowing in its windows, nestled into a snow bank of fluffy white cotton.
Shelbyville resident and author Byron Crawford says he considers himself a good listener.
He says he learned the art of listening while at his mother's knee, in the tobacco barns, at the feedlots and fishing ponds of Lincoln County. He says he loved to listen to his parents' friends tell stories.
"I had great upbringing, and storytelling was a part of it," Crawford says. "Some of the best storytellers I have ever met were the men and women I grew up listening to.

A voting machine mix-up and a broken vote counter led to an interesting Election Day in the Shelby County Clerk's Office, but all-in-all Sue Carole Perry said she couldn't complain.
"It's a much less stressful day when you're running unopposed," she joked. "Really, though, it wasn't too bad."
The results were posted by about 9 p.m., and Shelby was not the last county in the voting district to post results, that honor falling to Bullitt County for the third consecutive election.
Shortly before Bob Matthews died last month, I sat down with him several times in the Crestview Rehabilitation & Nursing Center, where he was living, and talked with him about his life in the Navy.
This column reflects those conversations and other interviews with members of his family. I also added my own research.
I had hoped that Bob would have had an opportunity to read it himself, but such was unfortunately not the case.
The Shelbyville City Council will look almost the same with five of six members returning, but the voting was quite different than in years past. Jon Swindler, 13 percent, and newcomer Frank Page, 12 percent, were the first and third vote getters in the race among nine for the top six spots. Joining them were incumbent Donna Eaton, the second top vote getter with 12.6 percent, and (in order) incumbents Alan Matthews (11.8), Mike Zoeller (11.3) and Shane Suttor (10.7). George Best, 10.1 percent, was the lone incumbent council member not elected, and h

Solid experience trumped youthful exuberance in the race for Shelby County Circuit Clerk Tuesday as Lowry Miller upended Austin Redmon by a 21-point margin.
Miller, a Republican who has filled the role of clerk since the retirement of Kathy Nichols this past summer, garnered 61 percent of the vote to triumph over Redmon, who is a student at Kentucky State University.
With a large and enthusiastic turnout of voters, Shelby County provided a big push that helped send two Republicans from Bowling Green – rookie Rand Paul and incumbent Brett Guthrie – to Washington next year.
Paul, an optometrist from Bowling Green, soundly defeated Democrat Jack Conway to earn the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring Republican Jim Bunning.

Doug Butler said Tuesday night he was more concerned with what he wants to accomplish during his next term with the Shelby County School Board than how he was going to get in position to do it.
The Shelby County sheriff's race between two veteran lawmen ended up in a big victory for incumbent Sheriff Mike Armstrong.
Democrat Armstrong defeated Republican Stewart Shirley, earning more than 60 percent of the vote.
Incumbent Donna Dutton easily beat out Darby L. Smith to keep her seat as the 53rd District Court Judge on Tuesday night.
This was the second time Dutton has bested Smith for the seat, and, according to Smith, it will be the last time he challenges her for the position.
Dutton beat Smith in Shelby with 56.4 percent of the vote and won by a slightly larger margin in Anderson and Spencer counties.

As counterterrorist agent Jack Bauer in the hit Fox series "24," Kiefer Sutherland played a man who had to keep his feelings inside in order to save the world. In his new Fox series, "Touch" -- which had a preview on Jan. 25 and has its regular time-slot premiere on Thursday, March 22 -- Sutherland's character, Martin Bohm, is still having a global impact, but his methods couldn't be more different.
Calling in from a location near Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, Sutherland says, "Jack Bauer, as a character, is so repressed; that was his job. His job was to be able to pocket his emotions, so he could take on what was seemingly an insurmountable task.
"Martin is almost the opposite, where his emotions are very much out front. He has a very simple desire, which is to develop, as he perceives it, as normal as possible a relationship with his son. What he finds out, as soon as he starts to forget or let go of what he perceives as a normal relationship with his son and starts actually engaging with his son on his son's level, or making an effort at that, that's when the relationship just starts to grow.
"That is a very outwardly emotional process for him, so, yeah, from a character standpoint, it's a wonderful change to have that opportunity."
Bohm is the widowed father of an 11-year-old son, Jake (David Mazouz), who is emotionally challenged and refuses to allow himself to be touched, but who is obsessed with numbers and busies himself with rebuilding discarded cellphones.
Caring and thoughtful, Martin has tried everything he can think of to get through to his son, but he comes to discover that Jake has a unique ability to perceive patterns in the world unseen by most people, invisible threads that connect seemingly unrelated individuals and events.
Jake is trying to put back together pieces of a world that has become fractured, and his father is drawn into that quest, with the help of social worker Clea Hopkins (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) and professor Arthur Teller (Danny Glover).
Tim Kring ("Heroes") created the series and wrote the pilot; other producers are Francis Lawrence, Peter Chernin, Katherine Pope, Sutherland, Suzan Bymel and Carol Barbee."It's a procedural drama," says Sutherland, "but it's a story about fate. It's based on a Chinese fable called 'The Red Thread,' which means that every person who's supposed to come into contact with each other over the course of a lifetime is connected by this loose red thread. This thread can stretch, and it can bend, and it can turn, but it can't break.
"Somehow, in our society, we have broken that thread. My son is a misdiagnosed severely autistic boy, but actually he's just farther along than we are. He's more deeply evolved, like the people who finally stood up straight when 99 percent of the population was still bent over. He is trying to put this red thread back together.
"In the context of that, fate, what is supposed to happen, is not always good or good for a specific person. What's interesting is, in his effort to put things back the way they're supposed to be -- which is Jake's goal -- he has me doing things that are sometimes not what I would want to do. There's a kind of friction in that."
"Touch" also weaves in themes of spirituality, the sense that the lives of people, while appearing entirely separate on the surface, are woven together in ways that they may not be able to perceive but which may be understandable to a higher intelligence.
In his 1938 book "Brighton Rock," author Graham Greene writes, "You can't conceive, my child, nor can I or anyone, the appalling strangeness of the mercy of God."
"There's a beautiful word, 'strangeness,' " Sutherland says. "It's too big to fathom and control, so we share that responsibility with God or a variance of the different aspects of spirituality to help us navigate that. The show looks into that as well."
It's also about the power of one.
"This show is basically saying, you have an effect at every point of every day," Sutherland says. "The way you interact within our society and the world does create ripples in the stream, and those ripples have profound effects.
"It's making me think about things in a way that I really haven't before."
And certain episodes might even have an effect on the world, through what Kring calls the "theme of interconnectivity."
"As we go forward," he says, "I would love to be able to have some of the stories that we tackle, especially some of the global issues, call attention to various issues around the world and use the power of storytelling to create some positive change out there."

A good friend of mine grabbed for me 2 each of the Keller and Boba Fett sets and 1 of the Sep of the Twins set.He said there were a bunch of the first two sets but only two of the Sep of the Twins set on the pegs. Odd.
The twins sets are short packed.
But the babies are now different colors
So it never fails, I ended up getting the Keller/Marine set from Chewie only to find about 8 at my local Wal-Mart this afternoon. I had never gone to this WM before (just moved to this area recently) and was returning some of my kids' duplicate Christmas gifts. Granted, they only had about 2 of the Boba set and none of the Twins set, but they had a ton of the Keller ones.

Commissioners approve county budget
The Bingham County Commissioners approved the the 2014 county budget Tuesday morning.
"It's pretty good news," said County Clerk Sara Staub. "The economy continues to get better which will make a difference to taxpayers.
"Property owners will see a savings of $25.16 per $100,000 net taxable value (after the homeowners' exemption is applied)," she said.
The budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 has increased by 4 percent, Staub said. The increase is $1,103,232 over FY 2013.
"The county is projecting property tax revenue to increase by $294,153," she said. "The values have gone up considerably because of urban renewal.
"We have a good BURA (Blackfoot Urban Renewal Project) program," said Commissioner Whitney Manwaring.
The Parkway Urban Renewal Project in Blackfoot closed earlier this summer. Walmart, Cal Ranch and Tommy Vaughn's restaurant are located in this project.
Over 20 years, BURA invested $5 million in the Parkway Project, said Manwaring. From a $5 million investment, property values have increased to $21 million to the taxing districts.
"The value comes back to the county on the tax rolls," he said.
In addition, approximately $105,000 was distributed to the taxing districts when the Parkway Project closed, said Commissioner Mark Bair.
The urban renewal project in Shelley is scheduled to close soon, said Staub. Taxing districts will share $3 million after the Shelley urban renewal projects are completed.
"It's a good year with good news," said Staub. "Department heads have held the line on what is normally budgeted."
Commission Chairman Ladd Carter said county employees will receive a 2 percent increase in their salaries this year. Employees received a 2 percent increase in their salaries last year as well.
Medical insurance has increased $1,400 per employee per year, he said. PERSI (retirement) has also increased.
The county will continue to pay 25 percent of medical coverage costs for the dependents of county employees, he said.
"We have good people and we'd like people to stay here," said Carter.
Each year the commissioners, Staub and department heads begin working on each fiscal year's budget in May for approval at the end of August.

- Overview -
The American Beaver (Castor canadensis) is a native wildlife species that is found throughout Mecklenburg County. They are mostly active from dusk to dawn and are found near many of the creeks, ponds, rivers and lakes within the county. Due to their nocturnal nature, it is far more common to see signs of beaver activity than it is to see active beavers. Lodges, dams, debarked trees, gnawed stumps, and beaver created ponds and wetlands all provide very visible proof that active beavers can by found nearby.
While these products of beaver activity are commonly observed, that was not the case some 20 years ago. Beavers had been completely killed off in North Carolina by the late 1800's, largely due to over-trapping to meet the high demand for pelts. After an absence of nearly half a century, the first of several re-introductions into the state began in the 1930's. It took more than another half a century until beavers returned to Mecklenburg County with the first reports coming in the early 1990's. Beavers can now be found throughout all of Mecklenburg County and North Carolina.
Beavers feed exclusively on vegetation. The majority of their diet is composed of the inner bark, twigs and leaves of woody plants, including numerous species of trees and shrubs. They also feed on aquatic plants. Unlike the majority of our wildlife, beavers have the ability to manipulate the landscape. This often occurs in the form of dam and lodge construction that can often back up creeks and tributaries and create wetlands and ponds in areas where they hadn't previously occurred.
- Damage and Removal -
Occasionally, beavers living in close proximity to people can create potential hazards and cause conflicts between wildlife and local residents. The damming of culverts or portions of creeks and tributaries may cause flooding in residential and agricultural areas. As beaver feed on tree bark, the trees can often be girdled and killed. When adjacent to homes or active recreational areas, these dead trees can become hazards.
In situations like these, beavers may need to be removed. This should always be accomplished through a licensed trapper or wildlife damage control agent. Links to lists of trappers and agents are located below.
- Benefits -
While negative impacts from beaver activity can sometimes occur, beaver created wetlands and ponds can also be beneficial and are very important to wildlife. Forested areas that have been flooded due to beaver activity may eventually have large standing dead trees, which may become suitable sites for nest construction by uncommon nesting species such as Great Blue Herons. Red-headed Woodpeckers can also be found excavating cavities for nest sites in these standing dead trees. Wood ducks and other species of waterfowl can often be found in these habitats, as well as many other species of wildlife, including various birds, amphibians, reptiles, insects and other mammals.
County residents can benefit from these beaver created wetlands as well. These areas can hold floodwaters and limit the erosion of creek banks. They can also filter out excessive nutrients and pollutants and improve water quality in our creeks, streams and rivers.

Looking to expand its presence within the national security arena, CACI International Inc. has hired Lani Kass as its corporate strategic adviser and senior vice president.
In addition to broadening CACI's presence in the national security market, she also will lead corporate efforts to further develop and evolve both corporate strategy and key client relationships, according to a Jan. 10 company announcement.
Kass will also lead CACI's participation in the annual Asymmetric Threats symposia that the company has co-sponsored since 2008.
She previously was senior policy adviser in the Office of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Defense Department, responsible for high-level assessments and analyses for the development and execution of integrated strategies, programs and plans essential to U.S. security. Her expertise and multi-lingual skills played a key part in successful interactions and negotiations with Russia, China and NATO, the announcement said.
Before joining the JCS, Kass was the assistant to the Air Force chief of staff and served as director of the Cyber Task Force. She was the first woman to serve as professor of Military Strategy and Operations at the National War College, National Defense University, where she educated the nation's senior strategic leaders.
Kass's government career spanned 27 years, according to her LinkedIn page.
She holds Ph.D degrees in Russian Studies from Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
CACI International, of Arlington, Va., ranks No. 14 on Washington Technology's 2011 Top 100 list of the largest federal government contractors.
