Wings Alexander
Wings Alexander (Japanese: ハヤブサ Hayabusa) is a character of the day who appeared in Throwing in the Noctowl.
Wings Alexander lives in Transit Town on Red Rock Isle, where he runs an airport. It was through that airport where he met Ash and his friends. The group had missed the ferry to the mainland, and Wings offered to fly them in his plane.
While helping Wings clean out his hangar, which also served as a home for his Pokémon, the group learned that he used to be a Pokémon Trainer. His strongest Pokémon was a Hoothoot, which defeated many opponents, including a Machoke and Onix. Years later, it evolved into a Noctowl. It now serves as Wings's 'co-pilot', always sitting in the cockpit while Wings is flying.
When Wings was flying the group to Olivine City, a severe thunderstorm hit, causing the old plane to fall apart. Thanks to Ash, Misty, Brock, and their Pokémon, as well as Wings's Noctowl, the plane made it successfully to Olivine City. Wings also showed kindness when he decided to help Team Rocket when their balloon was caught in a storm.
This is a listing of Wings's known Pokémon in the anime:
On hand
| Noctowl is Wings Alexander's strongest Pokémon; he has had it since it was a Hoothoot and in that time it has evolved. It is distinctive to other Noctowl by its small beard. It first appeared when it was sleeping in the co-pilot's seat, where it serves as the co-pilot. When Ash and his friends boarded the plane, a massive storm was causing difficulty. Just before the plane was about to crash into the ocean, Noctowl woke up. They attached it to a rope along with Ash's Noctowl and successfully brought the group to Olivine City.
None of Noctowl's moves are known.

Biological Resources Issues
Caltrans complies with federal and State laws and regulations and acts as a good steward of natural lands under our control.
Caltrans must comply with federal and State environmental laws and regulations in all phases of project planning, development, permitting, construction, and maintenance.
Caltrans identifies existing sensitive biological resources and evaluates potential biological effects during project development. Through early coordination with regulatory agencies, Caltrans identifies opportunities to avoid or minimize effects where practicable, and opportunities for mitigation of unavoidable adverse impacts to natural resources.
When impact avoidance is not possible, Caltrans minimizes impacts on-site. When mitigation is necessary, on-site or off-site compensation may be required. Off-site mitigation may include land acquisition and habitat improvement. The following are considered:
- Use conservation easements before considering a right of way purchase,
- Avoid purchasing or improving habitat on small isolated sites; if possible, and achieve compensation in advance of project impacts; and
- Develop or participate in mitigation banks when appropriate opportunities exist; and
Caltrans works closely with resource agencies and FHWA in both the development and implementation of mitigation necessary to satisfy State and Federal laws, ensuring that required mitigation is a reasonable expenditure of highway funds.
Final FHWA - California Division - Clean Water Act Annual Wetlands Impact and Mitigation Report Submittal for the federal fiscal year ending September 30 - This submittal provides information documenting achievement of FHWA's "No-Net-Loss" policy and 1.5+:1 minimum replacement objective. It provides an estimate of impacts and mitigation of wetlands subject to jurisdiction under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act as measured at the time of issuance of the Corps Permit.
Caltrans monitors and maintains mitigation sites.

Fisheries - Bioacoustics
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in coordination with the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) and the departments of transportation in Oregon and Washington, established a Fisheries Hydroacoustic Working Group (FHWG) in order to improve and coordinate information on fishery impacts due to underwater sound pressure caused by in-water pile driving. In addition to the above transportation agencies, the FHWG is composed of representatives from NOAA Fisheries (Southwest), NOAA Fisheries (Northwest), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, California Department of Fish and Game, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The FHWG is supported by a panel of hydroacoustic and fisheries experts who have been recommended by the FHWG members. A Steering Committee oversees the FHWG and is composed of managers with decision-making authority from each of the members' organizations.
The goal of the Working Group is to reach agreement on:
1) The nature and extent of knowledge about the current scientific basis for underwater noise effects on fish;
2) Interim guidelines for project assessment, mitigation, and monitoring for effects of pile-driving noise on fish species, and;
3) Future scientific research needed to satisfactorily resolve uncertainties regarding hydroacoustic impacts on fish species.
For additional information on bioacoustics related to fish
which includes the final report, "The
Effects of Sound on Fish." by Dr. Mardi C. Hastings
and Dr. Arthur N. Popper visit our Fisheries

Google, Novartis Team on 'Invisible' Health Monitor
Jul 16, 2014 4:36 PM PT
Novartis' Alcon eye care division has entered an in-license agreement governing all ocular medical uses for Google's smart contact lenses, it announced Tuesday.
Google unveiled a prototype of its glucose-monitoring lens in January.
No financial details of the arrangement were released, and the deal needs to clear regulators before it can be completed.
'Dream Come True'
Novartis sees its deal with Google as a way to expand its healthcare horizons.
"We are looking forward to working with Google to bring together their advanced technology and our extensive knowledge of biology to meet unmet medical needs," said CEO Joseph Jimenez. "This is a key step for us to go beyond the confines of traditional disease management, starting with the eye."
"Our dream is to use the latest technology in the miniaturization of electronics to help improve the quality of life for millions of people," said Google cofounder Sergey Brin. "We are very excited to work with Novartis to make this dream come true."
Under the agreement, the companies will collaborate to embed noninvasive sensors, microchips and other miniaturized electronics within contact lenses. Novartis sees two immediate applications for the technology:
- Helping diabetic patients manage their disease by providing a continuous, minimally invasive measurement of the body's glucose levels. The smart lens would measure tear fluid in the eye and connect wirelessly to a mobile device, such as a smartwatch.
- Helping people with presbyopia, who can no longer read without glasses, by providing a lens that would emulate the auto-focusing mechanism of the eye.
Looking Beyond Search
The market for the diabetic lens is potentially very large. There are 382 million diabetics around the world today and that number is expected to grow to 582 million by 2035.
"Google is actively looking for other types of businesses to be involved in besides search and advertising," Charles King, principal analyst with Pund-IT, told TechNewsWorld.
"Given the expectation that the global market for glucose testing is going to be in excess of (US)$10 billion a year in three years or so," he continued, "this could create a sizable income stream for the company and allow it to be a first mover in a very intriguing market."
To realize that income stream, though, Google needed a good teammate.
"Google wants to make sure that the innovation and invention they have done can reach the mass market -- and for that, this partner selection makes a lot of sense," Trip Chowdhry, managing director for equity research at Global Equities Research, told TechNewsWorld.
Following Trends
Smart contact lenses fit nicely into two trends ready to explode on the tech scene: wearable computers; and health and fitness monitoring.
"There are two key factors to the success of wearables," Jim McGregor, founder and principal analyst at Tirias Research, told TechNewsWorld. "They have to be fashionable, or they have to be invisible. A lot of the products out there today don't really fit either one of those."
For health and fitness devices, invisibility is very important, he said.
"When you start thinking about blood monitoring and heart monitoring, that's not stuff that you want people to be able to see," McGregor explained. "You want it invisible."
Use of contact lenses for wearable applications also may address the fashion requirement.
"There's a requirement for a new type of user interface to view data that doesn't require funny-looking goggles to do it," Patrick Moorhead, founder and principal analyst for Moor Insights and Strategy, told TechNewsWorld.
"More people would get into a Google Glass type experience," he added, "if they didn't actually have to wear glasses -- if they could see it through a pair of contact lenses."

CINCINNATI — It's difficult not to pause and wonder while walking through a cemetery, at least momentarily, what kind of life stories might exist behind each cold, weathered gravestone.
And until recently, that's essentially all a person could do — wander and wonder.
But Otter Creek Holdings, a Utah-based technology company that develops genealogy software and websites, says it's about to change the game.
At a monument trade-show in Cincinnati on Saturday, the company presented a genealogy gathering tool it says could eventually render matrix barcodes, or QR Codes, nearly obsolete in the interment industry with its soon-to-be released smartphone application, "Legacy Mobile."
Many gravestone makers, including a product owned by Otter Creek Holdings called mylegacymemorial.com, currently offer a service of attaching matrix barcodes to gravestones so family members or other passersby can scan the barcode from their smartphone onsite and be directed to an interactive memorial website page.
And although such monument pages have obvious advantages that make them nearly impossible to replace in the foreseeable future — families can personalize and edit those pages with their own photos, videos and stories — Otter Creek's "Legacy Mobile" app opens the possibility for anyone to pull up a webpage of genealogy information on any gravesite in a cemetery.
That's it. Point your smartphone. Shoot. Satisfy your curiosity.
Makers of the app say a decent image of the gravestone is all it takes to connect a user to one or more genealogy profiles about the individual. At least that's the intended simplicity for users.
It's a touch more complicated for developers behind the digital curtain, admits Hudson Gunn, vice president of the company's business development. "Actually, it's a logistics nightmare to build such a custom platform to do all that it does."
Instead of searching "a billion records at a time" the app first uses GPS metadata from uploaded photos to filter search results by location, usually by cemetery or city, Gunn told KSL in an interview from the Monument Builders of North America Full Industry Show in Ohio.
After the app drastically narrows the search to perhaps a couple hundred possible candidates in the area, a heavy mix of proprietary algorithms kick in and image recognition gears start to churn. Using optical character recognition, Gunn says the app compares the uploaded gravestone image and its text to an existing, and still growing, gallery of gravesite monument photos, especially from sites like the company's recently acquired billiongraves.com, a site that took on a healthy 30,000 new users this past year.
But using geocode to grab a location and image recognition science to compare text and photos — both technologies that have been around for a few years — is only half of the app's recipe. The other portion that could make it the next big thing is wrapped up in the number of personal contacts Devin Taylor, the company's CEO, has initiated over the years in his effort to connect with more and more partners. After all, the app would be worthless without a mega-database to query for results.
Taylor's portfolio of data-sharing partners includes familysearch.org, the largest genealogy database in the world, and ancestry.com, the largest for-profit genealogy company in the world.
If a user takes a photo of an unknown gravestone, the app will ask the user if he or she would like to create a record for that person. And because it will be saving submitted photos and collecting more records from crowdsourcing, Gunn says it will grow smarter and more robust over time. He expects it to expand by an additional 7 million records by year's end.
Gunn said the app doesn't include advertisements — something usually splashed on most free apps. And he said he expects it to be available for download within the week.

Recently, whenever Desktop Dungeons loads something, like a new dungeon or the kingdom screen, it takes a pretty long time, over 30 seconds. And while it's loading the whole browser freezes. This is true for both Chrome and IE.
ALSO, sometimes when I come back to the middle of a dungeon run and complete it, it says that I've been logged out by someone logging in on another computer. I am pretty sure that is not happening (since there's never any changes), is that a bug?

As Barack Obama and Mitt Romney fought for the presidency this fall, TIME contract photographer Marco Grob was crisscrossing the country to meet the men and women who may be doing the same four years from now.
From September to October, Grob, a Swiss photographer based in New York, traveled to 10 states and Washington, D.C., to shoot the 13 political leaders who comprise TIME's Class of 2016 (Hillary Clinton and Andrew Cuomo were photographed earlier this year). "This series was very exciting because the fact that one of these politicians could be the next president was always on my mind," says Grob, who took a variety of different kinds of shots and snapped extra rolls of photos to memorialize the moment.
Some of the subjects in Grob's essay are American political royalty. Among the luminaries on TIME's list are a First Lady (and now Secretary of State), a First Brother, six current and former governors and the current vice-president. Others, like San Antonio mayor Julián Castro and Florida Senator Marco Rubio, are rising stars – members of the fastest-growing demographic group in the U.S., men marked for higher office within their parties.
In the space of a single 48-hour stretch, the whirlwind assignment whisked Grob from Palo Alto, Calif., to Columbus, Ohio, to Baton Rouge. None of the subjects hinted at their political aspirations, and Grob preferred not to ask. "I don't talk to them about their plans. I actually think it's better if they don't think I know much about their political careers," he says. "They feel they can open up more."
Breaking through that veneer of formality was one of the tasks confronting Grob, whose portfolio of portraits for TIME includes comedians and actors, world leaders and Ground Zero first responders. Politicians are trained are trained to stay on script. Grob's challenge was to get them to veer from it. "Politicians, of all my subjects, are the most self-aware. They're careful not to lose any voters, so they don't get into anything controversial," he says. His trick? "I always let them smile for a couple frames, but then I aim to make a more thoughtful portrait," he says. "When you smile, you cover up your true face—that's just what humans do."

Nordstrom is investing in more Oxford Circus style, adding store-within-a-store boutiques featuring Brit brands Topshop and Topman to more of its upscale department stores, including the location under construction at the Americana at Brand.
Topshop capsules will open in 28 more Nordstrom locations starting in late September, the Los Angeles Times reported, bringing the total to 42 stores. Once eight planned Topman additions launch, 18 Nordstroms around the country will feature the men's fashions.
Topshop and Topman, which are owned by Arcadia Group, have U.S. flagships in New York, Chicago and Las Vegas. A Los Angeles stop opened in February at the Grove shopping center.
Outside of those shops, Seattle-based Nordstrom is the only retailer to offer a wide assortment of Topshop or Topman products, an arrangement set up last summer.
In a tough retail environment marked by a slew of dire earnings reports this month, many companies are looking to liven up their merchandise offerings. Other chains, such as J.C. Penney and Target, also market exclusive partnerships.
Earlier this month, Nordstrom bucked the dismal earnings trend set by competitors by announcing better-than-forecast financials. The company said its second-quarter profit jumped to $184 million, or 93 cents a share, from $156 million, or 75 cents a share, a year earlier.
Revenue for the three months ended Aug. 3 rose 6.4% to $3.1 billion. Same-store sales, a less volatile measure, were up 4.4%.
However, Nordstrom trimmed its outlook for the full year, saying it expects revenue, same-store sales and earnings per share to perform less well than previously anticipated.
The Topshop and Topman brands, which compete with the likes of H&M; and Zara and are known for their trendy looks, are coming to several Nordstroms in California.
The Topshop debuts will come at the Americana at Brand in Glendale, Fashion Island in Newport Beach, Fashion Valley in San Diego, Westfield Galleria at Roseville and Brea Mall.
Topman will come to Horton Plaza in San Diego, Stonestown Galleria Mall in San Francisco and the Brea center

With these words greets us a mystic and politician who lived more than 500 years ago and is still revered in Switzerland as peacemaker and saint. His name: Nicholas of Flüe (1417-1487). Till his fiftieth year he lived as a respected member of his village in the canton of Obwalden, taking an active part in the political life of the time. After a deep spiritual crisis he withdraws from public life and spends the remaining 20 years as a hermit, praying and fasting. Men from near and far come to him seeking counsel. They call him lovingly Brother Claus. The mystic becomes more and more a political adviser and his fame spreads over all Europe.
In the 15th century Switzerland goes through a stormy period of development: wars at home and abroad. Corruption and bribary are rife. The situation in the church is disastrous, forshadowing the reformation. In Sachseln , Nicholas of Flües parish, there is neither priest nor church service from 1415 1446. Nor are there any schools in the country. Nicholas of Flüe is a self educated man, he learnt from life. At decisive moments of his life occur dreams and visions revealing to him the inner way and helping him to interpret prophetically the needs of his time. After the death of the hermit friends, neighbours and acquaintances record in the church book of Sachseln (1488) how they have experienced Nicholas of Flüe. In addition other literary sources contain hundreds of contemporary reports. (Standard work: Durrer / Amschwand, see note on literature.)
Nicholas of Flüe, son of Heini of Flüe and Hemma Ruobert, is born in 1417 and baptized in the neighbouring village. Later he says that he could remember his birth and his baptism. Already in his mothers womb he had seen a star which lit up the whole world, as well as a great rock and an oil-jar. This vision recalls Jeremiah 1,5: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you for my own: before you were born I consecrated you. I appointed you a prophet to the nations." At 16 Nicholas sees a high tower at the place where later his cell and his chapel will stand. Thus from his youth he is prepared to seek a "mystical union with God" ("einig wesen", church book 1488). The mystical union with God ("einig wesen") is, as it were, Nicholas of Flües life motto: it is his desire to bring God and the world together. And like a living tower he will later guide and support the people.
Nicholas becomes a farmer. In youth he is also a soldier, but "he had always loved moderation, punished injustice and in war caused little injury to his enemies but had rather, as far as possible, protected them" (church book 1488). At almost 30 he builds a house and marries the 16 year old Dorothee Wyss. Five sons and five daughters are born to them. Nicholas is councillor and judge. He has a special gift to arbitrate between contending parties. But he has no false respect of persons. 1457 he conducts a law-suit for his villagers against a priest who demands too much tribute. 1462 he arbitrates between the people of Stans and the cloister Engelberg and he pleads for the rights of the people to elect priests. Nicholas has experienced that judges and councillors are also bribable. He withdraws from all civil posts and experiences a deep inner crisis. More and more he seeks solitude and fasts.
Nicholas recognizes clearly what is wrong with his time. He sees into the hearts of the people who in private and in public life always seek only their own advantage. Once in a dream he sees the great Pilatus mountain sink into the ground: "the whole earth opened and sin was revealed. Great crowds of people appeared and behind the people Truth. And they bore on their hearts a swelling as big as two fists. And this swelling was selfishness which led the people astray". This vision is as significant today as then. The sinking Pilatus mountain may stand for our threatened environment, for the ever widening gap between rich and poor, for the millions of homeless. Are we prepared to face the truth that stands clearly behind this phenomenon?
Nicholas wrestles with the problem of his future way. On the one hand he is bound to his family, on the other hand the urge to relinquish all earthly goods grows. After two years of tormenting doubt Dorothee gives him her liberating "Yes" to the step into an uncertain future. On the 16th October, the anniversary of Saint Gall, Nicholas leaves house and farm (1467) dressed in a penitential robe. Many people cannot understand how Nicholas could leave his wife and ten children. Such a decision cannot be explained. It is a unique act scarcely to be imitated. Later Nicholas often says it was by the great grace of God "That he received the consent of his wife and children to his hermits life" (Church book). In spite of this separation the family remained united in love. Dorothees share in the saving way of her husband may not be undervalued. To her belong thanks and honour no less than to Nicholas.
In his brown penitential robe Brother Claus sets off towards Basle. At Liestal, near Basle, he is called to a halt: The town seems to be in flames. A peasant coming along the way advises Nicholas not to go abroad but to serve God at home. Nicholas spends the night in the open. A flash of lightening strikes him causing a pain as if his body were being cut open with a knife. Nicholas turns back. Without food and drink he reaches his home and is found by huntsmen in the mountains. He seeks further till four lights show him the place where he should settle: on his own land only a few hundred metres away from his house and family on the bank of the stream in the deep gorge of the Ranft. He spends the winter in cold and poverty. Next winter peasants build him a small house and a chapel. The farmer Nicholas of Flüe becomes the hermit Brother Claus.
Since the night near Liestal Brother Claus lives without bodily nourishment. Curious questioners about his fasting he answers with reserve: "God knows." But once he says: "when he attends mass and the priest takes the sacrament he receives such a strengthening that he wishes to be without food and drink, otherwise he could not endure it" (Church book 1488). With his fasting Nicholas stands out favourably against the pleasure-loving and miracle-seeking late middle ages. Fasting is for him actually nothing extraordinary, he has always wished for it. His son Hans reports: "as long as he remembers his father has always fled the world. Also he has fasted four days every week and during Lent every day never eaten more than a small piece of bread and a few dried pears" (Church book 1488).
The hermit Brother Claus is still very much in the world. The ambassador of Milan, Bernardo Imperiali, writes on 27th June 1483 to his Duke about Brother Claus: "lo trovato informato del tutto." (I found him informed about everything). The hermit is abreast of current developments. He has an alert mind and goes to the root of problems. Through one window of his cell the light shines onto the altar of the chapel. The other window opens out to the people. All that is brought from the world outside to Brother Claus he brings before God in prayer. All that he receives in prayer he gives back to the people. His counsel comes from the depths. Today we are exposed to a flood of information but we remain on the surface and consume more and more. Brother Claus did not consume, he fasted. Where men dig deeply new life grows for the world.
"Brother Claus is a simple layman who cannot read" (Heinrich Wölflin 1501). Yet the hermit speaks of his "book". It is a drawing with the structure of a wheel. The movement goes out from the centre and comes back to the centre. The wheel picture is made public in 1487 by an unknown pilgrim with an explanation from Brother Claus: "That is my book in which I learn and seek the art of this teaching." He calls the wheel the figure in which he contemplates the nature of God: "In the very centre is the undivided Godhead in which all the saints rejoice. Like the three rays the three Persons go forth from the one Godhead and have embraced the heavens and the whole world". An illustrated version of this wheel exists already during the hermits lifetime (see back side of this brochure). Both pictures bear witness to the deep wisdom and clear judgement of this "simple layman".
Many people come to Brother Claus seeking advice: men and women, young and old, rich and poor. The Dukes of Austria, Milan and Venice keep in contact with him, likewise the cantons. In a time full of intrigues Brother Claus stands above all parties. His convincing life lends him the highest moral authority. After the victory over Burgundy when the confederation stands on the brink of civil war because of the rich booty and political rivalry Brother Claus makes a decisive contribution to peace. (Treaty of Stans 1481). From that time he is recognized as a peacemaker and is more and more often called upon to arbitrate in political and ecclesiastical disputes such as, for example, in the reform conflict about the renewal of the cloister Klingental in Basle (1482) or in the disagreement between the town of Constance and the Confederacy (1482).
Thanks to Brother Claus the quarreling cantons came to a lasting confederal agreement in 1481. In his letter to the Council of Berne the hermit tells us what peace depends on: "Obedience is the greatest honour in Heaven and on Earth, therefore you must strive to be obedient to one another. Peace is certainly in God, for God is peace." You cannot command peace, it is a gift. Conflicts can only be fruitfully resolved in mutual respect and mutual obedience. This calls on the deepest in men and demands our greatest effort. There is no peace without justice. Ultimately peace is founded in mystical union with God (einig wesen). Since 1981 there is a Peace Village at Flüeli, near the saints cell: a place where young and old seek to learn peace.
On the 21st of March 1487 Brother Claus dies at the age of seventy. Over his whole life stands his personal prayer: My Lord and my God, take everything from me that keeps me from Thee. My Lord and my God, give everything to me that brings me near to Thee. My Lord and my God, take me away from myself and give me completely to Thee.
Brother Claus lived before the Reformation but some of his earliest biographers are reformed. The hermit warns our church not primarily to watch over the frontiers, but to concentrate on the centre. In the middle, in the Trinitarian God, is the mystical union with God (einig wesen). The important thing is that we really live from faith. The Zürich Reformer Huldrych Zwingli sometimes cites Brother Claus, especially in connection with the struggle against mercenaries. Brother Claus stands above Parties. "He brings together the different confessions and cultures: he is the better self of Switzerland." (Thus the reformed theologian Georges Méautis.) And on the occasion of the canonization in 1947 wrote Karl Barth: "In spite of the canonization , which we absolutely refuse, Brother Claus is still our saint."
Already during his lifetime his contemporaries call the hermit "a living saint". His fame spreads over all Europe. Probably the most impressive account of a journey to Brother Claus is from Hans Waldheim from Halle in Sachsen. On the 25th May 1474 he meets the hermit with his wife Dorothee and their youngest son. In 1487 an illustrated book about the wheel picture of Brother Claus appears in Nürnberg. Amongst the first pilgrims who seek the grave of the hermit after his death are a fisherman from Denmark and a goldsmith from Erfurt. Both come from Santiago de Compostela to Sachseln and are healed from their sickness. The Swiss poet Heinrich Federer writes in 1921: "Brother Claus is much too great to belong to Switzerland only
he belongs to the whole world." In four continents today there are hundreds of churches, chapels and schools consecrated to the peace-saint Nicholas of Flüe.

WILLIAMSBURG, November 12, 1777.
Lost yesterday evening, on the main street in this city, or on the road between the College and Mrs. Camp's, a morocco pocket book with some money therein, and a loan office certificate of the Treasurer of this state to Mrs. Lilly Bowan for three hundred and thirty dollars and one third, No. 140, dated November 10, 1777, also several other papers that will be of no use to any other person but the owner. Whoever will safely deliver the said book, with the contents, to Capt. James Southall of this city, shall have ten dollars reward, and no questions asked. All persons are forbid purchasing or receiving in payment the above mentioned certificate, as proper notice is given at the said loan office to stop payment of the same to all persons whatever except to the person who delivered the money to the Treasurer, or to Mrs. Bowan. In the money lost was a continental thirty dollar bill No. 14,954, dated May 20, 1777. If any person is in possession of the same, and delivers it to Capt. Southall, he shall have the same number of dollars in exchange on giving information of whom it was received.
Virginia Gazette (Purdie) November 21, 1777
About this entry:
The monetary system in the colonies, already complicated by the use of foreign coinage while under British rule, became more complicated when individual colonies assumed responsibility for the redemption of loan certificates. The Continental Congress also issued paper money to pay the costs of the war, but its value was based on a speedy end to the conflict. By 1777 when the colonies appeared to be losing the war, the value of money had depreciated and counterfeiting added to the worsening problem. James Southall, the respected and successful proprietor of the Raleigh Tavern, functioned as the intermediary in this attempt to retrieve the lost pocket book. No information is available for "Mrs. Camp" or "Mrs. Lilly Bowan".

July 13, 2013
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State's Peter Miller has decided to return for his senior season as the signing deadline for the 2013 MLB First Year Player Draft came to a close at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, July 12.
Miller has played an integral role in the success of the Florida State pitching staff over the last two seasons posting an 11-4 record and a 3.78 ERA in 100.0 innings of work. The right hander has tallied 84 strikeouts in 32 appearances which include 23 starts during that span.
"We are ecstatic that Peter Miller will be returning to Florida State for his senior year," said head coach Mike Martin. "He had a fantastic junior season and was a major contributor to our overall success this past spring. We are even more excited to have him back on the mound for us in 2014."
In 2013, Miller posted single-season career-highs for wins (6), innings pitched (58.1), starts (13) and strikeouts (47). He worked a career-high 7.0 shutout innings in a win at Jacksonville, while striking out a career-best eight hitters in 5.1 innings against Villanova.
Miller put together a streak of 19.0 scoreless inning over four starts in 2013 blanking USF (6.0 IP), Villanova (5.1 IP), Boston College (5.2 IP) and Maryland (2.0 IP). He then tossed back-to-back shutout victories over South Alabama (6.2 IP) and Jacksonville (7.0 IP) allowing a combined five hits and two walks while striking out 10.
"It was a tough decision to turn down playing professional baseball," said Miller. "It is something that I have always wanted to do my whole life. But when you look at the team we have coming back for next year, we have a great shot at winning the World Series. I have been here three years and this team (in 2014) has the look of being a championship contending team. We just need to put the pieces together. We have a great coaching staff and great players, so it is going to be an exciting year. I am definitely pumped to be coming back."
Pursuing a degree in criminology with a minor in psychology, Miller is a two-time member of the ACC Academic Honor Roll and was named to the All-ACC Academic Team in 2012 and 2013.
Miller was selected with the 484th overall pick in the 16th round by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2013 MLB Draft.

I've long been impressed by Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, and consider him a top-tier prospect for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016. But recently I noticed that Jindal's approval number in Louisiana shows him, at this time, to be highly unpopular. For example, a March poll from Southern Media & Opinion Research put Jindal's approval rating at 38 percent, against 60 percent disapproval.
Would this level of unpopularity, assuming it persists, injure Jindal's prospect of being nominated for president? One would think so.
But Nate Silver suggests otherwise. He notes that Mitt Romney had similar numbers by the end of his time as governor of Massachusetts. In October 2006, a Boston Globe poll put his favorability rating at 34 percent against a 54 percent unfavorable rating.
There's an obvious difference between Jindal and Romney, and Silver points it out: "it is much more difficult for a Republican to be popular in Massachusetts than in Louisiana."
But, for Silver, this distinction isn't necessarily fatal for Jindal. What matters, he says, is how GOP insiders and conservative news outlets react to Jindal's home state problems.
I don't how they will react. My reaction is that, although the reasons for Jindal's unpopularity matter, the GOP should be extremely reluctant to nominate a governor who is badly under water in his own conservative state. But it's not time to nominate anyone, so let's wait a while and see whether Jindal remains badly under water.

Introducing British Virgin Islands
BVI © Fairphotos
Visitors to the British Virgin Islands will not be hard pressed to find out why they're nicknamed 'Nature's Little Secrets'. Abounding in natural beauty, the 36 islands making up the Caribbean archipelago (16 of which are uninhabited) have kept the effects of tourism at bay and offer unblemished beaches, numerous unspoilt anchorages, exotic fauna and flora and a relaxed, low-key lifestyle.
Situated about 50 miles (80km) east of Puerto Rico and just northeast of the US Virgin Islands, the islands and cays that make up the British Virgin Islands are clustered around the Sir Francis Drake Channel, which is renowned for its sheltered, crystal clear waters. Its location has made the archipelago a popular destination for yachting enthusiasts, and the islands are known as one of the best and safest sailing destinations in the world with reliable trade winds, near-perfect weather and a choice of secluded and intriguing bays to visit.
The largest island, Tortola, is the yachting capital of the Caribbean and the territory's main commercial centre; it has beautiful mountainous slopes endowed with tropical fruits and flowers. Tortola is an ideal base from which to explore some of the other inhabited islands such as Virgin Gorda, noted for its spectacular geological formations and one of the British Virgin Islands' most famous landmarks: The Baths. Travellers in search of a remote and rustic retreat, with the smell of freshly baked banana bread and the sounds of calypso music in the air, should head for the friendly beach haven of Jost Van Dyke; and the reefs surrounding Anagada's low-lying coral atoll and its miles of deserted white beaches shouldn't be missed by divers, snorkellers and sun worshippers. Besides these major islands, there are also dozens of secluded islets and cays to explore, each blessed with its own special charm and unique beauty.

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Rise of the Guardians is sort of like The Avengers with childhood icons: Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and the Sandman. There's lots of action and some mild violence revolving around the menacing bad guy Pitch Black, who turns children's dreams into nightmares with his cavalry of scary stallions (some scenes may feel more intense in the movie's 3-D version). (Spoiler alert!) One Guardian is destroyed but comes back to life at the end of the movie. There's some insulting language like "coward" and "selfish" and "go suck an egg," and in a flashback, a main character drowns but transforms rather than dying. Whether they personally believe in these characters or not (and the nontraditional way they're portrayed here could get some of them wondering...), kids will root for the Guardians as they fight the forces of chaos and despair.

The Central Connecticut men's golf team kicked-off their spring slate in a dual-match against Embry-Riddle, a member of the NAIA, on Sunday. Central wrote-in a team score of 401 shooting eight strokes back of Embry-Riddle who scored a 393 to claim the match victory.

I worked in my classroom a little bit more this week. I took the time to organize my math manipulatives, games, and cards so I can find them when I need them. You can't see great in the picture but I organized the drawers: fractions, decimals, dice (yes, I have enough dice to fill the drawer), whole numbers and measurement/geometry.
I picked up some new border at the school supply store this week and changed the border for my bulletin boards in the classroom.
I also put up black fabric on the far end of this hallway display we have on the lockers and added new border out there too. I had polka dot fabric on this end and it faded really bad so it was time to replace it. This is where I display student work. Now I need to come up with a title to put on the end to complete this.
I have an old Smartboard that doesn't work on the side wall in my classroom. Last year I used it to write the quote of the week, joke, and weird but true fact. I decided to change that up a little and I used my Cricut to cut out letters and add to the board. I'm going to post objectives for the subjects I teach.
I purchased Common Core Posters for Math from TpT. However, I couldn't find any for the science and SS objectives for Alabama. So of course I made some! I created them using the course of study objectives for Alabama. I'm still searching for some cute clip art to go on the social studies posters. I bought some cute clip art for the science posters from Scrappin' Doodles.
I was super excited that my brochures came in today!
I made these using Vistaprint and I only payed $34 for 50 brochures (including shipping). I'm always impressed with the products from them. These brochures look so professional.
The back has information about the subjects each teacher teaches, wish list, and contact information.
On the inside of the brochure we introduced ourselves and discussed the 7 Habits since we are a Leader In Me school. I also added something about the organization of our binders with graded papers.
I can't wait to send these out to my students.
I will be posting in the weeks to come about the technology I use in my classroom. I'll be presenting a session at our district technology conference. Once I get my presentation ready I'll post it here in case anyone is interested in learning as well. I'm also going to ISTE in Atlanta! I'm so excited because this is my first time! I'm the technology integration mentor for my school so I'm usually the one teaching others about technology. I can't wait to learn some new technology to use in my classroom and to be able to come back to share with everyone.
This coming week I'll be working in my room again. Everyone says I should take a break, it is summer. However, I can't just sit at home. Everything here has been cleaned, clothes are washed, and daytime television is killing me. I don't have any little ones to look after. So I'd rather work a little along to get my room ready instead of doing a mad dash the week before school starts. So make sure to check back next week to see what I was able to accomplish!
I would love to hear what everyone has been working on for next year (if anything).

Earth : Asia : South Asia : India : Southern India : Andaman and Nicobar : Diglipur
Diglipur is a town on North Andaman in the Andaman Islands of India.
A friendly, dusty little town on North Andaman. The main attractions lie not in the town itself, but this is where buses arrive and depart from. Tourist accommodation is located in the nearby village of Kalipur.
Get in
By road
Buses run daily between Diglipur and Port Blair (10 hours), Rangat (4 hours) and Mayabunder (2.5 hours).
Buses leave from the centre of town opposite the police stand. There's a ticket booking office here from which you can book tickets on the public express bus back to Port Blair or other southern destinations. Other destinations in north and middle andaman (for instance Rangat) you buy tickets on the bus. De Luxe buses can be booked at a shop opposite the bus stand.
By ferry
Ferries come from Port Blair a few times per week and take around 10 hours. You can book ferry tickets at the administration block. It's by the Dolphin roundabout, and the ferry ticket windows are on the outside of the left hand side of the building. Ferries leave from Aerial Bay jetty, a 10 Rs shared jeep or bus journey outside of town - about 1/2 hour.
Get around
It's 30 minutes by bus from Diglipur to the Aerial Bay jetty (where ferries dock) and then another 30 minutes to Kalipur, where the "best" accommodation is called Pristine Beach resort.You can go by sea plane also from port blair to diglipur,it is going to be start very soon in April 2011.You have a daily trip from portblair to diglipur and diglipur to port blair
You can buy your 250Rs permit from the forestry department office at the trailhead which is open from 6am to 2pm - there's no need to buy it in advance.
You can get a guide from Pristine Beach Resort (100Rs) or go by yourself. To get there follow the road through Kalipur as it turns into a track, then a small path. At the very end of the path (about 1/2 hour) you will find the forestry department hut where you should buy your permit. After that, follow the trees with the red0and-yellow painted bands. The path follows the beach, so if you lose it just go down to the beach and you'll soon see then again. To cross the streams you can either wade or go down onto the beach where the outflow will be leapable. When the beach curves round to the left look for the sign on your right and then follow the red bands painted on the trees. It's difficult to get lost - there's only one path.
A Tasty good food in Pristine Beach Resort in Kalipur. In Diglipur there's the usual Indian fare.
There are a few friendly bars in Diglipur and in Kalipur.
Get out
