May 16, 2006
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Yale women's crew team has been selected to compete in the 2006 NCAA Division I Women's Rowing Championships. The championships will be held May 26-28 at Finn Caspersen Rowing Center in West Windsor, New Jersey.
The Bulldogs were selected after finishing third overall in the EAWRC Sprints, which were held on Sunday, May 14. Their highest finish came in the junior varsity eight, where the Yale boat finished second behind overall winners Brown.
At last year's NCAA Championships, Yale finished seventh overall, with the varsity eight winning valuable points with their fifth place finish in the grand final. The varsity four and second varsity eight both finished in the top three of the petite final.
Although this will be the first time in 2006 that Coach Will Porter's squad will face west coast opposition, there will be some familiar faces in Windsor. Yale's Ivy rivals Brown and Princeton have also been selected for the NCAA Championships. The two are the only crews that have beaten Yale's varsity eight this year.
The following teams join Yale in the field: Brown, California, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Princeton, Stanford, Tennessee, Washington, Washington State, and Wisconsin. Four at large bids were also also selected from Boston University, Minnesota, Southern California, and UCLA.

LONDON (Reuters) - Not even odds of 25-1 can persuade double Olympic champion Mo Farah to abandon his carefully laid plans and complete the London marathon on Sunday.
Farah, who won the 5,000 and 10,000 meters gold medals at the 2012 London Olympics, will run the first half of the race as preparation for making his debut over the full 42.195 kms distance next year.
"I've noticed I'm 25-1 to finish the race - that ain't going to happen. I'm definitely not going to finish it," a grinning Farah told a packed news conference on Thursday.
The 30-year-old will line up with the rest of the elite men's field in Blackheath in south east London at 4.00 a.m. ET but expects to be showered, changed and in front of the television by the time the winner crosses the finish line.
Farah's decision to run only half the distance has drawn criticism, most notably from women's world record holder Paula Radcliffe, who has said she found his decision a bit strange.
"My aim out here is come and learn about the race, get used to the course so next year, I'm ready to go," explained Farah whose main aim this year is the Moscow world championships where he will defend his 5,000 title and attempt to add the 10,000.
"It's a no-brainer really if you think about it, as long as they're giving you a practice run, why would you turn that down?
"There's been criticism, but that's life. You can't keep everyone happy but as long as you do what works for you. This fits in really well and I'm going to learn something.
"Last year (Kenyan) Geoffrey Mutai was in the leading vehicle and learnt about the course.
"It was always my aim to go up to the marathon. I've achieved lots on the track and I definitely want to test myself on the marathon as well," added Farah who won the mini-marathon event three times as a youngster.
Despite the meticulous planning for his full marathon debut, Farah was unsure what would happen once he dropped out.
"All I know is that I'm going up to halfway," he said to laughter. "I'm sure the team will plan something for me."
Farah, who now lives in Portland in the United States to be with his coach, Alberto Salazar, said the bombings during Monday's Boston marathon had not caused him to consider his participation in London.
"It's sad news. My support goes to all the people, the families and loved ones but they would want us to carry on and show our support and continue," Farah, wearing a black ribbon on his tracksuit top in a show of support for the victims, told a group of reporters.
"London is a great city, it's where I grew up, It's where I've done everything, so for me it was never a concern at all. I've got great memories of the London Olympics and what we did as a nation was incredible and I believe we can do a similar job to that (on Sunday)."

Apple's new data center can now be seen on Google Earth and Maps, where until yesterday it only showed woods and farmland with a driveway that ended in the middle of a field. Now you can see the data center in all its glory.
It seems to be quite a coincidence that the data center has now appeared after Apple announced that iCloud would be shown off at WWDC next week. We assume that this huge data center will be the source of all the iCloud goodness that we will find out about on Monday coming. Remember, we will be covering all the events as they unfold.

Step One: Learn Your Options
Step Two: Get Good Referrals
Step Three: Screening the Candidate
Step Four: Interviewing the Provider
Step Five: Forming a Partnership
Step One: Learn Your Options
Add to your M.D.'s recommendations by researching the latest resources to get all your treatment options.
Knowledge is power. Whether you are looking for information to enhance
your health or searching for the answer to reverse a terminal illness,
you'll want all the credible information you can find about your condition.
And you can do just that when you learn all your options.
In order to do that, you'll need "The Seven Key Sources To Good Health Care
Information." They are:
1. Your doctor and other health care providers
2. Other patients and their friends
3. Libraries
4. The Internet
5. Medical and Health Information Service Organizations
6. Advocacy Organizations and Support Groups
7. Professional Organizations and Trade Associations
Further, when gathering health care information, it important to use "The Three Question Test For Complete And Dependable Health Care Information."
1. What are the best treatments available in the world today
for my health care condition/diagnosis?
2. Are those treatment proven effective?
3. How do I know if the information is reliable?
By using this test and the other strategies outlined in Chapter 1 of Five Steps To Selecting the Best Alternative Medicine, you can gain access to
all the accurate and dependable health care information you need to make informed choice about your treatment options.
By getting informed you become a savvy health care consumer no longer bound to one doctor's opinion or one medical system's answers to meet yours and your family's health care needs. Remember, by learning all of your options, you increase your chances of getting the health care results you want.
Step Two: Get Good Referrals
Find referrals through various sources and verify that these referrals have the capability to really help you.
An effective selection process is the key to locating a good health care professional. Getting high quality referrals of good candidates is the best way to start that process. Step Two provides you with the information and
know how to get those high quality referrals and to begin a selection
strategy which can be used in hiring almost any alternative health care
provider. Remember -they work for you!
Relying just on family and friends may not give you the selection choice
you may need to find the alternative health professional that is right for
you. You may need to rely on more than one referral source.
Here are the seven key sources for getting good referrals:
1. Family, friends and colleagues
2. Local alternative practitioners
3. Local health-food stores
4. Support groups
5. Professional associations
6. Alternative health care schools and colleges
7. Referrals services and advertisements
When getting a referral, you'll want to get as much information from your
source as possible. Many times, with just a little extra information,
you'll know immediately whether this referral has possibility for you or
not. For this reason it is important to know the right questions to ask.

Working to make the town StormReady
The Scarborough Emergency Management Agency is working with municipal departments and school officials on a new initiative to have Scarborough designated as a StormReady community through the National Weather Service.
The project is an outcrop of the community-wide resiliency project that we've been working on for the past two years. If a community is going to be resilient, it needs to be prepared, and significant weather events are one of the primary threats that we need to be prepared for.
The weather service developed the nationwide StormReady program to help communities better protect citizens during severe weather from tornadoes to tsunamis.
The program encourages communities to take a proactive approach to improving local hazardous weather operations by providing emergency managers with clear-cut guidelines on how to improve its hazardous weather operations.
John Jensenius, the warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Gray that covers southern Maine and part of New Hampshire, has been working with us to provide public outreach as part of our resiliency program.
As we talked about how to move the program forward he suggested we consider becoming a certified StormReady community since Scarborough already met most of the criteria for designation.
To become a StormReady certified community, we must meet five requirements. First, we must establish a 24-hour warning point and emergency operations center. Fortunately, our public safety dispatch center already meets that requirement as it is staffed 24/7 and is adjacent to our emergency operations center.
The warning point must have the ability to receive severe weather warnings and forecasts and to alert the public. Once again, we have redundant systems in place to receive warnings ranging from telephone, radio (including NOAA weather radio), Internet and the public safety teletype system.
We need to have a system that monitors weather conditions locally. The public safety dispatch center has had this capability for some time, but it was recently updated with new, more advanced equipment.
The community needs to promote the importance of public readiness through community seminars and other public outreach methods.
This article is part of that effort and we have also held classes on lightning and severe storm awareness. Jensenius is currently working with Nancy Crowell, Scarborough's librarian, to create a series of video presentations on a variety of weather safety topics that can be played on our public cable TV channel at various times throughout the year.
Finally, the town must develop a formal hazardous weather plan, which includes training severe weather spotters and holding emergency exercises. I am currently working to update the town's emergency operations plan to contain this information. We will offer storm spotter training at some point in the future and are constantly training and conducting exercises.
Citizens interested in becoming a weather spotter can drop me a note or give me a call so I can add you to a list for specialized training.
As you can see, there is a lot to do to become recognized as a StormReady community. That is why when Scarborough completes this process, we will be the only community in the Gray, National Weather Service office district that is officially certified.
This is just another example of the work your community leaders are doing to keep the residents and visitors to Scarborough safe, prepared and resilient.
Anyone with questions about this article or any fire department issue, please contact Chief Thurlow at mthurl@ci. scarborough.me.us or call 730-4201.
B. Michael Thurlow is fire chief for Scarborough.

Patrick Gries' collection of skeletal photographs are part of his book, "Evolution," that seeks to make the case for evolutionary theory in a way that has not yet been captured so eloquently through the medium of photography. The project spanned 6 months and involved Gries shooting the photographs of over 250 skeletons at The Museum of Natural History in Paris, as well as 4 other locations in France. These monochrome photographs of skeletons were shot with strong directional light and appear almost sculptural in their presentation, asking viewers to consider the boundaries of scientific study and aesthetic event.
In the book, Gries' photographs are accompanied with text written by scientist, documentarian, and professor emeritus at Paris' Museum of Natural History, Dr. Jean-Baptiste de Panafieu. This text describes the skeletons, suggesting how to understand them in the context of history and the patterns of evolution. "New forms have evolved from old ones. Stubby amphibian feet have been transformed into hooves, bird wings and whale flippers. Yet many of the bones in those original limbs have not changed their relationship to the rest. They have just been stretched, flattened or reduced to vestigial knobs. Along the paths of evolution, the vertebrate skeleton has been transformed into similar forms many times over — aardvarks in Africa and anteaters in South America." You can purchase and see more photographs at Éditions Xavier Barral. (via unknown editors, ny times, and the guardian )

Springside Chestnut Hill Academy's racquetmen happen to play in the same league as one of the top high school squash teams in the country, and last Monday the formidable Episcopal Academy Churchmen overpowered host SCH, 8-1.
However, over the next year or so, the Blue Devils' varsity program will be getting a boost from the current members of the school's middle school team, which recently finished second at the 2012 U.S. Middle School Team Squash Championships. Eighth graders Hunter Ferry, Billy Harris, Harrison Kapp and Henry Kelly and seventh graders Christopher Dalglish, Griffin Glendinning and Luke Stauffer made up the SCH contingent that travelled to Yale University for the national event, which was held January 27-29.
Seeded second in the draw and enjoying a bye in the opening round, SCH started out against Rye (N.Y.) Country Day School, which had won its first-round match, 5-0. The Blue Devils prevailed 4-1, then in the semifinals they rolled to a 5-0 victory over New York City's Middle School 45.
Next up was defending national champion Brunswick Academy of Greenwich, Conn., an all-boys school that attracts much of the top squash talent in its general vicinity. The Bruins retained their title with a 5-0 win. In the top spot, the Blue Devils' Dalglish had to face David Yaccobucci, the fourth-ranked player in the country in the Under-15 category.
Three of the local players, Kelly, Stauffer, and Ferry, were able to capture a game off of their Brunswick rivals.
That same weekend, members of the SCH varsity team were competing in a tournament at Lawrenceville School, and then the schedule called for them to come right back on Monday to play the defending high school national champion, Episcopal.
Earlier last month, the Blue Devils lost a close match at EA, 4-5, but there were several reasons why the rematch would be tougher for the locals. SCH junior Peter Ferraro, the regular number six player, participated in the contest at Episcopal, but after playing on an injured foot at the subsequent Lawrenceville tourney, he had to sit out for the second encounter with the Churchmen.
In addition, EA had freshman number four Sean Hughes back in the line-up. Currently the top-ranked player in the U.S. Under-15's, Hughes had missed the first SCH-EA bout on January 11. The resulting bump-up's and bump-down's made for rough going for the Devils.
In the lone five-game contest of the day, sophomore Philip Kelly saved SCH from a sweep, outlasting Episcopal junior Jamie Ruggerio, 6-11, 11-3, 11-9, 7-11, 11-9.
The other eight Devils succumbed to the Churchmen, but two players were able to take a game from their opponents. Number two Augie Frank opened up with an 11-6 win, then lost the next three games to fellow senior Tyler Odell, 8-11, 9-11, 8-11. In the sixth spot another SCH senior, Alex Ambrosini, fell to junior Patrick McCarthy, 7-11, 12-10, 6-11, 7-11.
Two juniors met in the number one match. Alex McCall of the host team went ahead 5-3 in the initial game, but visitor Devin McLaughlin rallied to win, 11-8. The methodical McLaughlin, ranked fourth nationally in the Under-19 class, prevailed in the next two games, 11-6, 12-10.
The aforementioned Hughes went past the Devils' sophomore number four, Brian Giegerich, 11-4, 11-2, 11-8, and one rung down the ladder, junior Kevin Flannery of Episcopal topped another SCH tenth grader, Mason Blake, 11-6, 11-4, 11-7.
Geigerich's younger brother, Matt, faced a fellow freshman in the eighth position, and an 11-8, 11-3, 11-7 victory went to Clark Doyle of the Churchmen. At number seven, visiting sophomore Andrew Stone struggled to over come SCH junior Christian Dorff in the first frame, 15-13, but Stone used the momentum from that win to secure the next two games, 11-3, 11-4.
A pair of seniors had at it in the ninth spot, and here EA's Billy Kacergis defeated Sam Sheppard, 11-4, 11-8, 11-2.

mlstrength needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 8 designs submitted by 3 freelance designers.
I am looking to rebuild my website, http://www.mlstrength.com, a website that is about strength and conditioning, or training for baseball and softball. We are a consulting company.
I am looking to have my website re-designed. I am looking for it to be re-designed because I feel that when people come to my site as it is now, they are not really sure what it is. I am looking to make the site easier and more clear to navigate, in order to sell more training dvds, and manuals, and increase my e-commerce sale. I feel by adding a video player that I will be able to load a commercial onto, as well as a webinar would help tremendously. I am sponsered by Under Armour, http://www.underarmour.com and would like to integrate some of their design and feel into the new site, while again making it easy to navigate.
In regards to myself and my company, I am a professional trainer/ coach of professional and college athletes. My company is a consulting company that works with elite athletes all over the country, as well as consults with companies in the baseball and softball sports. We offer consulting and program design services, as well as training- performance training, speed development, nutrition, and lifestyle education.
- The slogan is: "Developing more athletic baseball and softball players"
- I am looking something similar to http://WWW.COREPERFORMANCE.COM , which utilizes blogging threads, video players, graphic ads- for selling items, as well as to highlight sponsors, as well as social media sites such as facebook, twitter, ustream, blogtalkradio.com
- I would like my logo integrated which is the red one at: http://www.baseballperformancesystems.com/
- In regards to color schemes, my logo is red and white, and am looking for a site with vibrance and life, that is fun. We are not limited to those colors though.
- In addition, I have several other sites that I would like to be accessible and found through this site, with a look like coachfrankdolan.com, and/or creating graphic advertisments or logos for each site.
- Also it might be a nice touch to include logos of some of our partners which are on the partners page of http://www.mlstrength.com - takkle.com, http://www.baseballfactory.com, http://www.coasttocoastathletics.com , http://www.mysportsdreams.com , http://www.tpxtop96.com, http://www.cangelosibaseball.com, http://www.bojacksonelitesports.com , http://www.crossoversymmetry.com, and my major sponsor is UnderArmour.com in which I would like their logo integrated.
- The ability to make updates and add articles
- I would like a cool looking site, that is easy to navigate, with the ability to add news and updates on the front. This will be our main landing page, for all my other sites that are on the way, similar http://www.coachfrankdolan.com, which has logos for all my subsidiary sites. I am in need of logos for these sites as well-Major League Strength Coaches Corner, Strength University, Baseball Performance Systems.
- I will also need a way to have social media accessible via the home page, again with youtube, facebook, ustream.tv, takkle, myspace, twitter, and blogtalkradio.com- possibly on the bottom of the page like coachfrankdolan.com
- I am also looking to add a blog of all my staff here as well, similar to baseballfactory.com
- Clutter
- Slow loading flash videos

Government bodies are responsible for passing laws (Legislative Branch), putting laws into action (Administrative or Executive Branch) and monitoring adherence to laws (Judicial Branch). This is the basic structure for government at any U.S. city, county, state or national level.
Find government websites for any U.S. state, county or city/village/town, or by topic, search the Directory of Official Government Websites.
Understand the unique government structure of any U.S. state by searching the Overview of Structure of Governments from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Government information is, by law, freely accessible and usable to any U.S. citizen (public domain). However, because the government is so large it can be difficult to find information. Here are a few aggregate websites that will help you find particular types of government information:
Information about local businesses can be tricky. Most information produced by the business itself (websites, brochures) is oriented toward marketing. However, the government does require businesses, particularly those publicly traded, to disclose certain types of information (e.g. financials). Third parties may be a more objective source of business information (e.g. newspaper articles, research databases).
Find your local, state, or national Chamber of Commerce. Chamber missions vary, but tend to focus on advocacy for businesses and promoting attractive communities.
Other Helpful Library Subject Guides:
Not-for-profit organizations and community associations are often strong community-shapers. If there is a community organization that deals with your topic area, they will be an invaluable source of information. Find community organizations by searching your city's website, reading local newspaper articles on your topic, or asking your public librarian.

Apple has enabled iCloud's Buy More Storage option in the iOS 5 beta beta and here are the prices:
- 5GB: Free (every iOS 5 user will get this by default)
- 10GB: $20/year (including the 5GB free, that's 15GB total)
- 20GB: $40/year (25GB total)
- 50GB: $100/year (55GB total)
So pretty much $10 a month for ever additional 5GB.
By contrast, 50GB on DropBox will run you $9.99/month (just under $120/year), though it provides a different, less abstracted online storage and sync environment than iCloud does. (It also has 100GB and 350GB+ options.)
You can cancel within 15 days of upgrade or 45 days after a yearly payment. Again, this is in the beta so it's possible pricing and tiers could change by final release time this fall.
Meanwhile, let us know what you think of the prices.

Destination Brazil Brings Free Soccer Coverage to Xbox Systems
This new Soccer app will bring free soccer programming to the Xbox One and Xbox 360 to get fans ready for the 2014 World Cup.
According to the Xbox Wire, Microsoft is adding the Destination Brazil app onto Xbox 360 and Xbox One later this month. The app will premier on June 15 and will let users stream the 'Every Street United' series which will follow two legendary soccer superstars as they try to find the most talented, undiscovered street soccer players throughout eight different countries. The show will be hosted by Dutch player Edgar Davids and the French footballer Thierry Henry as they try to find eight of the most prolific and unknown players in the world to compete in a 4v4 street game at the FIFA World Cup in Rio de Janeiro. The two soccer legends will be touring the United States, Argentina, Spain, Brazil, England, the Netherlands, Ghana and South Korea in order to find the best alleyway athletes in the world.
Destination Brazil will also bring you new ways to play FIFA 14 and FIFA Ultimate Team on Xbox One. On top of this, the app will offer many supplementary features, such as interactive videos that will introduce newcomers to the world of soccer (such as going over key terms, basic rules, advanced plays, etc.).

Gentil rederes, longe tyme hath it been syn Ich have been able to take reste and wryte upon this blog. Right fullye occupyed Ich have been with the makinge of poetrye, and eek wyth keepinge my Lord Kyng Richard companye.
My Lord the Kyng ys reallye into spelunkinge, and he maketh me go wyth hym every weekende. The while we are downe muckinge about yn waiste-high watere and almost fallinge over ledges, my Lord the King speketh moore and more of how "appealing" revenge semeth to hym. Ich saye to hym that revenge is never a good idea. To convince hym of the evils of revenge, Ich have written a tale of Melibee, and yet everich tyme Ich do yive it unto hym to rede he semeth to falle yn to a slumber. Ich did aske hym if the tale helde no solas for hym, and he did saye ful curteisly and kingly unto me, "Nay, think nat so, Geoffrey. It ys merelye thys newe imported feather bedde of myne from Calays that ys so softe and pleasaunt unto me. It maketh me to sleep everich tyme I do laye down on yt to rede of yower tale. Indeede, thys feather bed ys so envoluping it semeth that a man koude esily be slayne by it." And then he looked out ynto space.
Swich is My Lord the Kinge thes dayes. And yet, a tetchy kinge notwithstandinge, finallye Ich have hadde a litel space of myn owene for to maken of verses, thogh Ich feare nowe nobody doth lyke verses eny moore. Helas, for Ich am super psyched to maken severale lynes followe oon anothir for hundreds of pages, and yet it semeth everichoon thes dayes loveth oonly to twit and tweete and maken up a gret swarme of quippes and linkes. A blog semeth about as cuttinge edge as a sworde buryed in a mounde. Thogh Ich have made an accompte of twitter, Ich knowe but litel how to maken of a fyne and retweetable tweete. Litel Lowys doth mock me dailye with a fiers mockinge, sayinge "watching yow trye to tweet, Dad, ys lyk watchinge Archbishop Arundel trye to keepe hys cool a a Lollard support groupe. Helle of awkward!" The tweet so short, the crafte so longe to lerne!
And yet Ich have had comfort in myn art. For Ich am composinge a narratif about folke who are togedir ythrowne by the windes of fate and goon on a journeye.
Naye, Ich nam nat spekinge of the Tales of Caunterburye, the which Ich have temporarilye putte on hoolde, but rathir of a newe set of tales. Thinketh of this: the image of the viage of an erthely pilgrimage ys but a maner of shewinge the wey of thilke parfit glorious pilgrimage into the celestial spheeres of the skye, in which we shal weare awesome shinye clothes and have swooshie laser swordes and eek have snappye dialog and sweepinge orchestrale bakkeground musique as we flye arounde the sunnes and moones and thinges-that-are-nat-moones. And thus Ich am writinge nat of pilgrimes on erthe but of pilgrimes -- wayteth for yt -- IN THE STERRES!
Yt is but in bittes and pieces as of nowe, but yt semeth good to share my descripciouns of the characters wyth yow, my goode rederes. Ich wolde be right glad to heare of yower feedback. And eek, please lette me knowe if sum oon hath alredy made eny fable or ficcion that yn eny waye doth resemble thys oon.
Ther was a SMUGGELERE, and he the beste,
Wyth gowne of whit and snazzye litel veste.
He hadde a shippe that was a noble vessel
For in twelf parsekkes it had yronne the Qessel;
At customes houses nevir did he pause –
For resoned he ther was but litel cause:
To paye a tax or impost made hym wood,
And I seyde his opinioun was good:
Why sholde hys labour fatten up the paunches
Of bureaucrates that sitte upon their haunches
And tak their paye from honest merchauntes werke?
This good man kepte the officiales in the derke
And oft he wolde in his shippes floore hyde.
From oon ende of the sterres to the other syde,
He hadde yflowne, and seene many a wondere,
And yet he hadde no feare of Goddes thondere.
He seyde hys destinee was hys to make
Wyth blastere or wyth sleight or wyth wisecrake.
Of goold and eek of love he had a thirste,
In altercaciouns he ay shot firste.
A WODWOS hadde he, and servantz namo,
A goodly furrye man, from hedde to sho.
Hys lokkes were longe and brown as aren a bearys,
Wher he hath sat, a man may knowe – there hair ys!
A bandolier he wore about hys sholdere
And of bowcastre boltes yt was the holdere.
He was a worthy frende yn tymes of stresse,
Thogh yif a man sholde beate him atte chesse
This gentil beest wolde th'arme rippe from the winner;
Therefor he wonne as oft as Bobbye Fischer.
And ther were wyth thes two good men, on shippe,
By plotte-twist yfalle yn felawshippe,
Fower otheres, of which I shalle anon yow telle,
(And all but oon shal lyve until the sequelle).
A TRANSLATEUR was with hem, maad of goold,
He knewe ech langage newe and ech tonge oold.
A conversacioun right wel this man koud carrye
Wyth vaporators d'eaux in tonge binarye.
And yet he timorous was, and oft wolde hyde
If daunger or if batel did betyde.
Whan men did fighte, for feere he almost breste.
An oyle bath he loved al the beste.
And wyth hym cam a smal ARTIFICER
Whos armour was as azure bright and cler
And eek as whit as ys the whales boon.
Althogh men have two eyen, he had but oon,
In maner of the creatur hight cyclopes.
He was so gret a clerk that ther no pope ys
That koude so muchel of calculaciouns
And ars-metrik, and werkes of alchemie,
And al the divers calculaciouns
By which to maken navigaciouns.
He was a verray parfit killer app,
And ofte in joye he cryed out "bweep, er-dap!"
A WHINY YOUTHE cam nexte, barleye a man,
With yelwe haire, tunique, and farmeres tan.
But aquaculture litel did he love,
He wolde been a pilot al above
And bullseye oump-rattes yn a nimble craft.
Saye, have ye evir been upon a rafte
And herde the wynde blowe fast over the wave
So that the winde did seme to sighe and rave?
Wyth just swich fierceness sigheth thys yonge man,
And whineth eek, and whingeth whan he kan,
For he ne lovede nat his occupacioun
And he wolde rathir go to Tashi stacioun.
And wyth hym rood an oolde EREMITE,
Who knew the crafte of armes more than a lite;
He loved the forse syn he a youngling was,
And eek trouthe and honour, and kickinge arse.
Ful worthy was he in the auncient werres,
For in thos tymes he foughte on manye sterres:
At Theed citee he was, whanne it was won,
And many a metal foe he had outdon;
And eek he made the stande at Jeonosis
(the which, I trowe, was nat a bunch of roses!);
At Rhin-Vare had he foughte, and Terre Sool.
From Corpusant and Utapaux al hool
He cam aweye, unnethe wyth a scracche
Thogh on Mustphar he nerely met his macche.
A saber loved he beste, and thoghte it faster
And moore gentil than eny randome blaster.
Ful wys he was, no action-hero merely,
Thogh of paternitee he spak unclearlye.

Grand Island Venture Yearbook staff and editors spread their Christmas spirit this year by fundraising a little harder for a great cause. The group, which includes students from all grades in the high school, raised an extra $500 to donate in gift cards from the Boulevard Mall to the Ray family of Grand Island. The family had a fire break out in their home a month or so earlier. Danny Ray was a member of the Venture staff for a few years and helped in many ways to produce, market and distribute the publication. The current editors couldn't think of a better way of saying "thank you" for his efforts in the past and wanted to "take care of one of their own," in one editor's words.
Ray and his mother were presented the five $100 gift cards right before the last bell before the holiday break.

At long last, the 2011-2012 NBA Season is getting set to start. This is a busy time for sports investors, with many of the major sports in action. In addition to the most popular sports, the NFL and college football — the sports with more frequent profit opportunities (the NBA & NHL) are getting underway. Please NBA "Bet Against the Public" Results Complete 2003 to 2010 Seasons sports betting marketplace.
Below, we update our analysis for "Betting Against the Public" in the NBA. Sports Insights' NBA database now includes eight seasons worth of data — and about 10,500 games. Here, we highlight a bias of value on Visiting teams that the Public hates, something we have seen in the NHL as well.
The information on this site is for entertainment and educational purposes only. Use of this information in violation of any federal, state, or local laws is prohibited.
Sports Insights Database and NBA Research
Sports Insights (SI) has collected betting data for every major U.S. sport since the 2003. The Sports Insights database includes the opening and closing lines (and "line movement," for various sportsbooks) as well as final scores — and perhaps most importantly, Sports Insights' NBA Betting Trends data. For the purpose of our articles, our research team also "cleans" our data — to ensure our historical data is useful for our articles and our Members. SIs' historical database for each sport is an important part of our research — and value-added for our Members. It is the backbone for our contrarian sports investing methods and you can't find this kind of data and information anywhere else!
Our database and contrarian methods are backed by tens of thousands of games across every major U.S. sport. Data is available for seven major US sports — and may be purchased as a group — or for individual sports. The Sports Insights NBA database now includes data going back to the 2003-04 season. Here are some notes on the data used for this article:
Betting Against the Public — NBA
Over the years, Sports Insights' proprietary "betting percentages" (obtained from actual sportsbooks) have proven to be a good contrarian sports investing tool. Our Members can often find value by finding the most "lopsided bet" games of the day — and "Betting Against the Public." In the chart below, we see that there is a slight bias for betting against the public. There are very few games below the 20% level. Below, we "carve" up the data further and see a potentially useful bias on "betting against the public" on "out-of-favor visiting teams."
Table 1: NBA and Betting Against the Public (Last Eight Seasons, ending June 2011)
|Betting Percentage
|Win Percentage
NBA Visitors: Undervalued
The past several years of NBA data has shown that Visiting teams may be more undervalued than Home teams. That is, if you "Bet Against the Public" and select only Visiting (or Away) teams (Table 2), your winning percentage would be higher than when both Visitors and Home teams are selected (Table 1, above). This approach yields a 54.8% winning percentage (bolded in the chart below) — for betting against the public on Visiting teams at the 25% "bet-against level."

We hope that you will make Sports Insights your one-stop shop for everything from up-to-the-minute live betting odds and scores, to sports investing information — and winning betting systems. Our Members enjoy some of the most innovative sports marketplace information available! Sports Insights develops analytical tools that build upon sports marketplace indicators (such as "betting percentages" and "line moves") to give our Members an edge over other handicappers and the sportsbooks.
We do not guarantee that the trends and biases we've found will continue to exist. It is impossible to predict the future. Any serious academic research in the field of "market efficiencies" recognizes that inefficiencies may disappear over time. Once inefficiencies are discovered, it is only a matter of time before the market corrects itself. We do not guarantee our data is error-free. However, we've tried our best to make sure every score and percentage is correct.

bobmayes2000 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 31 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
looking for logo for new website community related to the great outdoors. specifically olivedrake.com will be collection of outdoor fishing/camping spots, conservation forums, and a business directory.
I want a logo that will be the beginning of a brand for my business. I came up w/ olivedrake to play off of the following:
1. a drake is a male duck
2. olive or green drake is a type of fly used for fly fishing
The current tag line for the business is "hook up more"
The goal of the company is to collect and keep organized fishing, camping, hiking, and hunting spots around the world with a focus on conservation.
My initial thoughts for a logo included having the L in olive be the shadow of a person casting a fly rod with line across the top of "olivedrake" and the dot being the head of a mallard duck. The man and mallard both black and the logo rust and forest green colors. Those are the colors i'm thinking of for the website design. Here's an example of what a fly cast might look like: http://www.flyfish-scotland.com/gra…cast_2.png or this: http://media.basspro.com/images/art…lcast3.jpg
I am very open though to all design concepts including different graphics. There will most likely be more work in the months to come as well.
- olivedrake.com
- some play on fly fishing, ducks, or outdoors
- I'd like to place the logo on a white background

My first ever (and maybe last ever) quilting project. It was fun but I am a get-things-done-in-one-sewing-session kind of seamstress and this was a long project requiring much patience and accuracy.
I had tons of 8" samples of my fabric design from Spoonflower and decided to make a quilt. It's pretty haphazard and I'm sure most 'proper' quilters would recoil in horror from the imperfections but I'm pretty pleased with it although I wish I had chosen a nicer fabric for the plain sections.

In today's soft insurance market, capacity for environmental insurance is at an all-time high and additional insurers are pushing their way into the marketplace daily. Yet, even now, the most sophisticated insurance programs and attractive rates are reserved for those manufacturers deemed the "best" risks.
What makes one manufacturing facility more attractive than the next?
Obtaining adequate coverage to protect assets and maintain shareholder confidence ─ at reasonable premiums ─ is high on every risk manager's (RM's) agenda. Assessing environmental risk from an underwriter's vantage point can help RMs do just that.
The following five considerations offer a starting point for positioning the environmental exposures of your facility and operations, which will help you secure some of the best possible terms and conditions in the marketplace.
Disclosure. An underwriter must have in-depth disclosure of site-specific pollution and operational issues, past and present, in order to provide coverage that will accurately and adequately address key exposures and affect the transfer of risk. The more an underwriter knows about the historical use of a site and its current/future operations, the better equipped the underwriter is to custom-tailor coverage and manuscript language to address the most complex environmental issues. Furthermore, full disclosure helps preserve your rights under the policy. For example, some carriers offer policies that provide coverage for known pollution conditions, as long as these conditions were disclosed in the application for coverage.
Financial and corporate overview. Along with confirmation that a firm is financially sound, an underwriter will want to know about a company's culture and commitment to proactive environmental risk management. Capital improvements, upgrades, maintenance, monitoring and annual training are all clear indications that a manufacturer is viable and planning for the future. Financial records documenting investment in state-of-the-art technology designed to enhance environmental risk management activities (e.g., source reduction, waste minimization and containment) and reduce the potential for pollution liability (e.g., increased regulatory compliance) is valuable information that can result in favorable coverage, longer policy terms and premium credits.
Risk management. Underwriters will carefully evaluate multiple facets of a company's in-house risk management efforts. The human factor is assessed, and credit given to firms that invest in qualified environmental RMs and support departments and personnel (e.g., general counsel, real estate, remediation, etc.). They will examine training manuals/certifications as well as the training frequency and qualifications of key personnel. The heavier the industrial exposure, the greater the focus on the staff dedicated to pollution prevention, regulatory compliance and training.
If a corporation engages contractors or vendors for onsite work, the underwriter will want to know about the screening processes used for vendor selection and measures taken to mitigate liability due to the acts, errors, omissions and negligence of these third parties, such as indemnification wording in contracts and requirements that a contractor maintain its own general, professional and environmental liability insurance.
Underwriters will want to review formal documents, such as Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans; Risk Management Plans (RMPs); Storm-Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) and environmental due diligence plans.
Compliance with requirements imposed by regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over onsite operations and personnel, and general adherence to industry-specific guidelines typically result in favorable underwriting opinions.
Sustainability. The general population and end users focus on "green" and environmental sustainability. Insurers take a positive view of manufacturers that can demonstrate a commitment to improved management of raw materials and wastes and reductions in point source and nonpoint source emissions and discharges.
Operations. Underwriters want to understand your business and operations. Any evidence of improvements in environmental risk management ─ whether it's the complete replacement or refurbishment of a production line and related infrastructure, a simple change to a less hazardous material or even the total elimination of a particularly toxic substance or antiquated process ─ will be favorably received by the underwriting community.
The manufacturing sector has made great strides in environmental management, pollution prevention, regulatory compliance, waste minimization, recycling, alternative energy solutions and long-term environmental sustainability, all of which have minimized negative environmental impact. Consequently, manufacturers and RMs are now competing with many ISO 14001-certified facilities and competitors that are actively driving toward a "total business commitment" to the environment and "zero landfill" status. Inattention to and lack of adequate environmental risk management and pollution controls is no longer the norm, it is the exception.
Actively demonstrating industry-leading commitment and best practices in these five aspects of your business will help position your facilities and operations in the best possible light, opening opportunities to secure state-of-the-market pollution legal liability and cleanup protection at a competitive price. This includes coverage for such key areas as:
An industrial facility that distinguishes its environmental practices and risk management as superior and selects an insurance provider with the requisite experience to understand and evaluate complex exposures will be best positioned to maintain a broad, cost-effective insurance program year-after-year, as new exposures emerge, regulations tighten and insurance market conditions fluctuate.
Environmental consciousness is again on the rise with events such as the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico. With a better understanding of the underwriting process, a corporation can help ensure that its environmental insurance is properly structured to protect its assets this year, and for years to come.

Krill Distribution and Patch Structure in the Deep Basins of the Gulf of Maine Based on Multi-Sensor Survey Data
Peter H. Wiebe, Biology
Gareth Lawson, Biology
Andone Lavery, AOPE
Grant Funded 2008
Krill are common members of marine pelagic ecosystems, and in the Gulf of Maine are a key prey item for a number of predators, including whales and commercially-important fish species. The distribution of krill is highly variable, or 'patchy,' in space and time, and understanding the factors causing this variability is important as the patchiness limits krill availability to higher predators. Previous studies have demonstrated that krill can be locally abundant and important in the Gulf of Maine. Overall, however, relatively little is known about the biological and physical processes leading to the formation and persistence of krill aggregations, inter-annual variations in krill abundance, and the interaction of krill with its predators in this region. The long-term goals of this work are to examine the distribution, abundance, aggregation structure, and ecological importance, including availability to higher predators, of krill in the Gulf of Maine, and to develop and apply new techniques for the quantification of krill abundance. An essential first step to achieving these longer-term goals is to capitalize on existing survey datasets to test initial hypotheses, develop new ones, and identify regions for more detailed externally-funded surveying. We therefore propose here to analyze multi-sensor datasets collected during surveys of the deep basins of the Gulf of Maine conducted during the falls of 1997-1999 under the Georges Bank GLOBEC program. These surveys, which were originally designed to investigate the distribution and abundance of copepods, combined a suite of sophisticated sampling technologies, including acoustic, net, optical, and a variety of environmental sensing systems. We will take advantage of recent advances in the analysis of multi-frequency acoustic data to identify krill and other zooplankton in the acoustic record based on net and video samples and models of how the different zooplankton groups scatter sound, and will then quantify and map their abundance over broad survey areas. The objective is to assess spatial and inter-annual variability in krill distribution, abundance, and aggregation structure in relation to hydrographic conditions and bathymetric features.
This is an inter-disciplinary project, combining our expertise in ocean acoustics, zooplankton ecology, and oceanography. Successful completion of the project will supply critical new information on the factors driving variability in krill distribution and will provide leverage in seeking external funding for future survey work.

FORT MCMURRAY - Surrounded by pictures of his six children and dozen grandchildren, Dave Kirschner sits in a wheelchair in his room at a continuing care facility in Edmonton.
Stricken with a rare, incurable neurological disease, his hands shake as he picks up a folder on the night table beside his bed. His cheerful demeanour turns solemn, his eyes sad as he glances at the document inside.
For 36 years, he was one of Fort McMurray's biggest cheerleaders and trusted servants. Illness caused him to move away and to step down from municipal council shortly before the end of his term last year.
In the month before the municipal election, Kirschner wrote to Municipal Affairs Minister Doug Griffiths, expressing concerns about disturbing actions and practices within the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo.
"To me, the breaches of trust and accountability are serious, insidious and to be clear, are not to be mistaken as complaints from a disgruntled councillor," he said in the letter, dated Sept. 11. "In fact, I am neither complaining nor disgruntled but rather bringing to your attention a situation which could eventually become a major concern and political embarrassment to all of us."
In response, the minister's chief of staff, Tim Morrison, thanked Kirschner for his interest, and said the department had no legal authority to investigate. It is a local issue, Kirschner was told, so the matter should be taken up with the municipality's administration and council, the very people he asked the department to investigate.
"I saw this coming," Kirschner, 60, says now, struggling to speak. His disease — multiple system atrophy — is slowly causing his body to shut down. "I wish they had listened to me."
After moving to Fort McMurray from the Northwest Territories in 1976, Kirschner and his wife, Iris, ran a trucking firm that was once honoured as Alberta's top small business. They immersed themselves in the community.
Over the years, he became chairman of the city development appeal board, a member of the Fort McMurray Planning Commission, a school council chairman, member of the Northern Alberta Development Council and, finally, in 2010, was elected to the municipal council.
In three years as a councillor, he never claimed expenses.
"He wanted to pay his own way, so he didn't feel like he owed anybody any favours," says Iris Kirschner, who lives in an adjoining complex and looks in on her husband of 37 years several times each day.
In his letter to the minister, Kirschner expressed concerns that some councillors might have had a pecuniary interest in municipal dealings, including land expropriations related to Fort McMurray's massive city centre development project, warned that contracts were being tendered without competition, alleged that important decisions were being made at invitation-only Wednesday night meetings presided over by the chief administrative officer, and said councillors were being kept away from meetings with provincial officials.
Land-use bylaws were rewritten to accommodate the multibillion-dollar redevelopment project meant to dramatically change the face of Fort McMurray. The plan, devised by Toronto consultant Ron Taylor, calls for expanded public transit, a greater mix of housing and commercial retail opportunities within walking distance of gleaming office towers, and for condominiums to be built along the Snye, a quiet waterway downtown that is beloved by boaters and other recreational enthusiasts.
"I have come to understand that we all eventually have the chance to face our choices," he wrote. "Personally, I made a promise to the citizens of our municipality and to the province to help ensure our municipal house is in order.
"As an elected official I owe it to the 4,900 people who voted for me to help bring truth and closure to this matter in a dignified manner."
Arena, bridge and marina in spotlight

Just as Dave Kirschner feared, embarrassment has hit Wood Buffalo.
In the past month, the municipality's CAO and a handful of other senior officials have abruptly vacated positions; an accounting firm has been engaged by council to review its policies and senior staff's expenses; the Canadian Taxpayers Federation has begun clamouring for an investigation into the possible misuse of public funds; and, residents have been outraged by a revelation that $7 million in severance was paid to more than 80 employees dismissed without cause.
At the same time, questions are being raised about the viability of the $2-billion city centre project the municipality rolled out in 2011, with debate raging over the construction of a hockey arena and businesses that were expropriated to make room for it, a $76-million pedestrian bridge has been scuttled following an outcry over the expense and a marina project is under siege because it would limit the use of float planes.
"My frustration is that our downtown today is in worse shape than it was when we started down this path," says Jon Tupper, a former president of the Fort McMurray Chamber of Commerce who now works for a non-profit organization. "We were over-promised and there was no delivery.
"The previous council spent so much time with their head in the clouds that they didn't put sticks in the ground. When you have delays, opposition grows."
Six of the 10 members of the previous council were replaced in the October election, drastically changing the dynamics and making it more difficult for Wood Buffalo's longtime mayor, Melissa Blake, to execute a plan essentially formulated by a group of advisers who no longer work for the municipality.
"I don't think in our heads that we would be as opposed to the pay that was given if we received value for the money," Tupper says. "I don't see that kind of value."
One waterfront development officer resigned recently.
Taylor was found to have billed Wood Buffalo more than $1 million after signing a contract for $150,000, which is part of an audit being conducted for the municipality by KPMG.
Another executive expensed $90,000 in flights between 2011 and 2013 and once charged taxpayers $21.50 to add mushrooms and pan-fried onions to a $43 filet at a steak house in Toronto.
"They must be magical mushrooms," says Derek Fildebrandt, president of the Alberta branch of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
Blake, now serving her fourth term as mayor, has been courted as a potential candidate at the provincial and federal levels. She realizes her reputation and political capital is being undermined by the turmoil.
"I am not used to this treatment, to people feeling that I have not acted responsibly and been diligent," she says, seated at a conference table in her seventh-floor office at city hall. "I regret that I didn't know some things sooner and I take full responsibility for that.
"Mistakes were made, and there are certain areas where I think we need better practices, but I don't believe anything fraudulent was going on."
For the first time in her career, Blake finds herself being assailed on a number of fronts — over the faith she placed in the recently departed city manager, Glen Laubenstein, over housing, living and travel allowances paid to senior staff, and over what she did and did not know about the wave of dismissals and severance payments.
"It is the equivalent to Don Iveson saying he didn't know 1,000 of his employees in Edmonton lost their jobs and were paid $20 million to $30 million in severance," Fildebrandt says. "I cannot conceive how anyone wouldn't know that."
Blake says council put its full trust in Laubenstein, whose $533,795 in earnings in 2013 made him the highest-paid city manager in Canada. She says she had long been told the municipality was not paying travel expenses to senior administrators, and maintains she was caught off guard by the largest severance payments. Four of the dismissed employees received more than $300,000, one got $354,467.
"The medium and low ends, I got that," Blake says. "But I was surprised at the higher end. I think we need a cap, and that is one of the things (the accounting firm) is intended to look at."
Blake says a majority of dismissals were handled by human resources officials, department managers and legal staff.
"They aren't things that would be disclosed in any kind of circles," she says. "I think sometimes you need to be shocked to understand how something came to be."
Sweetheart property deals?
Photo: Along the south side of Franklin Ave. between Main Street and Morrison Street in Fort McMurray, lies a stretch of downtown area that is being expropriated to make room for the construction of a hotly contested arena project.
With energy production projected to increase fourfold over the next two decades, Fort McMurray is expected to grow to 196,400 residents by 2030, creating a drastic need for housing and office space.
The urban centre in Wood Buffalo, a sprawling municipality that extends 63,000 square kilometres from north-central Alberta to the borders of Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories, Fort McMurray currently claims 72,944 residents, an increase of 71 per cent in the past dozen years.
Jammed with oilsands workers and saddled by infrastructure built to accommodate far fewer people, the city has been targeted for a dramatic facelift that includes a downtown core with gleaming skyscrapers, a civic centre, 8,000-seat hockey arena, visual and performing arts centre and hiking and biking trails along a waterfront fashioned after Ottawa's Rideau Canal.
Largely funded by energy companies who contribute more than 90 per cent of the municipality's tax base of $626 million, the initiative has become bogged down as residents argue over key components, the hasty manner in which the plan was devised and the urgent pace prescribed.
Bids were recently accepted for the arena project. That prompted expropriations that a provincial adjudicator found were executed unfairly and without merit in a non-binding ruling issued last year. Arguments abound over parking and other amenities. Accusations are flying over well-connected citizens receiving sweetheart property deals.
Mike Allen, a local MLA and former councillor, acknowledges his music store on the city's main drag was expropriated for $4.4 million, $3 million more than he paid for it in 2005. The amount he and a business partner received was below fair market value, Allen maintains, adding that he recused himself from discussions related to the matter when he was on council.
"It has been a long, long process," Allen says, seated in his office above his business, which will move into a new space downtown that is being renovated by the municipality. A former restaurant, it also was expropriated for $3.36 million. "Every time I hear we are getting rich off public taxpayers, I want to scream. I have been biting my tongue for the last eight months."
He says he has been unable to defend himself because his expropriation agreement contains a non-disclosure clause. Allen complains his business has suffered as rumours spread about him benefiting inappropriately.
"Damage has been done," he says. "I built my life here ... It is difficult to watch that get destroyed. Many days I wish I could buy the building back. I didn't want to leave."
Allen says he did not contest the expropriation because he supports the downtown development project, but is concerned it has begun to lose momentum.
"We are a community that is growing so rapidly that at some point we need to put a shovel in the ground," he says. "If we don't get the development moving, as a resident and business person, I think we are going to kill downtown.
"At its heart, the development was going to provide everything that everyone who lives here complains that we don't have."
Chief administrator salary questioned

The chambers were packed May 13 at Wood Buffalo's council meeting. The evening's agenda was benign, but tension filled the air.
Early on, the mayor joked that she was not going to step down, then a member of council made a motion designed to determine if Blake and other senior administrators knew more about certain issues than they have let on.
Keith McGrath, a Newfoundlander who has lived in Fort McMurray for 30 years, requested that the municipality set aside the dismissed employees' non-disclosure agreements so they can talk to the audit team about their firings. The motion will be debated Tuesday at council's next meeting.
"There is a big human element to this that people forget," says McGrath, who won a seat on council in October after failing in three previous attempts. "At the end of the day, a lot of people had to go home to their family and say mom or dad doesn't have a job anymore.
"The way they were treated bothers me."
A few minutes later, Sean Graham, a 22-year-old University of Alberta student asked councillors at the meeting to consider placing a cap of $165,000 on the salary and benefits paid to the chief administrative officer.
In the past six years, Wood Buffalo paid $3.4 million to a series of CAOs — an average of more than $577,000 per year. In 2010, it paid more than $939,000 to Laubenstein and two predecessors.
"My view is that you want to pay senior administrators well enough so they are making a decent wage, but not to the point where the attraction of the job is to make money," says Graham, who plans to pursue a postgraduate diploma next year in math. "You want somebody who is invested in the task for the desire to affect the community.
"At the end of the day, public servants are there to provide public services. For an entity to pay somebody in that capacity $500,000 doesn't seem appropriate."
Council's reaction to Graham was lukewarm but they should not expect him to go away easily.
At age 16, Graham requested that the municipality ban single-use plastic bags and eventually pestered administrators so much they drafted legislation that was adopted in December of 2011.
"I am proud of that but I hope that's not my legacy," Graham says. "I hope to do something more significant than that."
History project nets surprise cheque
Photo: Francis Jean is 82 and has owned and operated the City Centre Car Wash downtown for most of her life. Jean is annoyed about a number of things related to the downtown development project.
Frances Jean, 82, works seven days a week at the City Centre Car Wash in Fort McMurray, taking only breaks for lunch and a nap on weekdays, and to attend church services and bake bread on Sundays.
A peppery grandmother who looks 20 years younger, she came from the Okanagan Valley in 1967 at a time when there were 1,500 people living in Fort McMurray.
A historian and author who ran a retail store and operated a newspaper with her late husband, she laments the direction the municipality has taken in recent years and shares many of the same concerns as Dave Kirschner.
Jean, a vocal opponent of the city centre redevelopment plan, says she was volunteering for a local heritage board when she was approached by project consultant Ron Taylor and asked to prepare a history of specific buildings in Fort McMurray.
"He said he would pay me, but I told him I didn't need the money," Jean says. "It is my love, and when you are as old as I am there is nothing you can do with money but travel."
Jean says after she had completed the project, a staff member from the municipality's planning department handed her a $5,000 cheque.
"I hadn't done anything for it and I never invoiced them," she says.
Uncomfortable about receiving the honorarium, Jean says she then called her son, the since-retired MP Brian Jean. She told him she intended to return the cheque, but he advised her to make a copy and deposit it into an account belonging to one of the many charitable organizations for whom she volunteers.
After disclosing that she had been given a cheque, Frances Jean says municipal officials initially denied it. When she produced a copy of the cheque, a municipal administrator said he was simply trying to channel money into the heritage project upon which she had been working.
"I can't tell you with 100-per-cent certainty what the purpose was for giving me that cheque," Frances Jean says. "But to me, it didn't smell right.
"My question is, if they were giving me a $5,000 cheque with no services provided, who else were they giving money to?
"It was written out to me. I could have taken it to the casino here and cashed it. It was unbelievable."
New city boss promises open dialogue
Photo: The new chief administrative officer of the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, Marcel Ulliac, is looking into Fort McMurray's downtown construction plan.
Marcel Ulliac, employed by Wood Buffalo for nearly three decades, was elevated to interim chief administrative officer following Laubenstein's departure.
A former farm boy who grew up in Plamondon, he has spent 32 years in public administration, most recently as the municipality's director of land administration.
Ulliac said his management style will differ from Laubenstein, whose unorthodox approach included Wednesday night meetings with select business leaders. Women were not allowed to attend.
"He invited me once and I wouldn't go," says Brian Jean, who resigned as Fort McMurray-Athabasca MP in January after serving 10 years in Ottawa. "Any group that doesn't want input from 51 per cent of the intellect on the planet is not worth belonging to."
Ulliac says he is reaching out to other administrators and understands the importance of public engagement.
"I live by the golden rule of no surprises," he says. "I think it is the only way to conduct business. You need to communicate with people openly and in a timely fashion.
"The city centre catalyst projects are being sorted through, and I think a strong message has been delivered about the will and the want to evaluate and make sure the public has input."
Some of the more vocal opponents of the redevelopment project complain it was put together too quickly and without great thought.
Rather than place an arena downtown, some detractors say a better venue would be the site of the Penhorwood condominium complex, where 300 tenants and owners were forced from their homes in 2011 due to structural deficiencies. The cluster of unoccupied seven buildings has fallen victim to vagrants and vandals even as mortgages are still being paid.
"It would have helped people and it has better highway access," Jon Tupper says. "It made too much sense."
Chuckling, Jean says the city centre redevelopment is just the latest in a lengthy list of major projects to somehow go awry. In the 1970s, a consultant once proposed putting a dome over Fort McMurray, other plans were submitted in 1997, 2001 and 2007.
"History keeps repeating itself," Tupper says. "We go through engagement exercises and then can't execute the plan.
"What it comes down to is if council can't execute a plan, either there is something wrong with it or them."
"We were sold this vision"
Photo: Dave Kirschner, a former councillor from Wood Buffalo, at his residence in Edmonton on May 18, 2014.
Dave Kirschner, seated in a café at the continuing care facility where he lives in Edmonton, says he and other members of Wood Buffalo's previous council bear some responsibility for what has occurred.
"We were sold this vision, but some of the pieces in the project would have taken 20 years to complete," Kirschner says. "We should have insisted on more clarity, but we didn't want to rock the boat.
"We needed solid infrastructure to prepare for the growth. The cart was way before the horse."
Kirschner says councillors set priorities in April 2011 which did not include the city centre project. Their focus was on rural development, constructing a new recreation centre in Fort McMurray's Thickwood neighbourhood, and infrastructure and operational improvements.
"But we never got to them," he says. "Suddenly the city centre project became the priority. It wasn't council's idea. Somebody else had a different vision."
Kirschner says he gained begrudging respect for Laubenstein, who was brought in to lead the city centre redevelopment.
"Glen brought in an entire staff and worked on the one project, but you need a broader vision," Kirschner says. "You can't have all or nothing, and that is what he wanted. There has to be give and take.
"But I don't want to blame Glen too much. I think as a council we had become too complacent."
Kirschner is eagerly awaiting the results of the KPMG audit, which is expected to be delivered to the mayor and council in September. In January 2011, as one of his first motions, Kirschner called for an increase in council's accountability and transparency.
The motion was overturned.
"The law sets minimum standards," he says. "Ethics sets maximum standards. That is the best thing I ever learned."
Kirschner has faith the current council will take the right path.
"They are better than we were," he says. "They seem to be trying to correct things that were done in the past and are looking at the priorities of the day.
"A mistake is only a mistake if you refuse to correct it."

Whole IgG antibodies are isolated as intact molecules from antisera by immunoaffinity chromatography. They have an Fc portion and two antigen binding Fab portions joined together by disulfide bonds and therefore they are divalent. The average molecular weight is reported to be about 160 kDa. The whole IgG form of antibodies is suitable for the majority of immunodetection procedures and is the most cost effective.
Store freeze-dried powder at 2-8°C. When ready to use, rehydrate with indicated volume of d. water and centrifuge if not clear. Product is stable for about 6 weeks at 2-8°C as an undiluted liquid. Prepare working dilution fresh each day. For extended storage after rehydration, add an equal volume of glycerol (ACS grade or better) for a final concentration of 50%, and store at -20°C as a liquid. Note: after the addition of glycerol, the concentration of protein and buffer salts is one-half of the original. Alternatively, aliquot and freeze the product at -70°C or below in the absence of glycerol. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Expiration date: one year from date of rehydration. However, the expiration date may be extended if the product is stored according to the recommendation and the test results are acceptable for its intended use.
1:100 - 1:800 for most applications
Dilution factors are presented in the form of a range because the optimal dilution is a function of many factors, such as antigen density, permeability, etc. The actual dilution used must be determined empirically.
Cy3 is brighter, more photostable, and gives less background than other orange-red fluorescing dye conjugates. Cy3 conjugates can be excited maximally at 550 nm, with peak emission at 570 nm. For fluorescence microscopy, Cy3 can be visualized with traditional tetramethyl rhodamine (TRITC) filter sets, since the excitation and emission spectra are nearly identical to those of TRITC. We recommend Cy3 as a brighter alternative to TRITC. Cy3 can be excited to about 50% of maximum with an argon laser (514 nm or 528 nm lines), or to about 75% of maximum with a helium/neon laser (543 nm line) or mercury lamp (546 nm line). Cy3 has been used with fluorescein for double labeling; however, the use of a narrow band-pass emission filter for fluorescein is recommended to minimize Cy3 fluorescence in the FITC filter set. Cy3 can also be paired with Alexa Fluor® 647 for multiple labeling when using a confocal microscope. However, a better choice for multiple labeling is Rhodamine Red-X because its fluorescence is midway between a green fluorescing dye (like Alexa Fluor® 488) and a far-red-fluorescing dye like Alexa Fluor® 647.

Stanton's 3 goals leads New Canaan boys hockey past Xavier
DARIEN -- Revenge is always sweet and the New Canaan High School boys ice hockey team took another swig from the cup of vengeance Monday by downing Xavier 5-2 at Darien ice rink.
"We lost to Xavier last year at their rink (Wesleyan University). St. Joseph has been beating us in FCIAC and state playoffs in recent years and we beat them 4-1 on Saturday (at Shelton Rinks). So it was nice to get some revenge over both teams," said Harry Stanton, one of four New Canaan senior captains. "It was great to get two solid wins."
The calendar turn to 2014 has agreed with New Canaan. The Rams (now 6-3-1 overall) are 4-0-1 since a January 4 loss to Notre Dame of Fairfield.
"We're definitely getting it going," Stanton said. "We had an up and down season last year. And we have a lot of seniors (eight) on the roster this year. We're committed to do big things this season."
Although this was a non-league triumph, New Canaan (3-0-1) remains in the thick of the FCIAC East Division race currently fighting with surprising Trinity Catholic (4-0) and perennial archrival Darien (3-0-1).
Sports Videos
New Canaan took away the heart of Xavier bit by bit Monday. Xavier, now 3-7 overall and losers of four straight, took a 1-0 lead on the first of two goals by David Piekut.
Then Stanton decided to lead by example. He scored just 55 seconds later with 5:33 left to forge a 1-1 tie. Stanton then tallied on a breakaway off a wonderful feed from John O'Rourke with just 11.4 seconds left for a 2-1 edge after one period.
Xavier had rang shots off the post twice in the previous 30 seconds of action.
"We think we have a lot of speed on our roster. That's where we excel. John (O'Rourke) and I have played hockey together the last eight years," Stanton said. "I asked him how he made that great blind pass. He said `I just heard you.''
Xavier's Piekut forged a 2-2 tie with 11:43 left in the second period. Xavier then killed off back-to-back penalties despite New Canaan swarming on the power plays.
However, Parker Lewis provided another dagger for New Canaan by scoring on a rebound just 8.9 seconds before the second intermission.
"Late goals like that are a combination of our team's character and fortunate bounces," Stanton said. "It's easy to let up the last 30 seconds of a period to get to the lockerroom. But we keep going. We don't mind hard work. We're out there to play hard all 45 minutes. We know when we play hard, we will score goals."
Stanton completed his hat trick with 7:16 left to play to break Xavier's back at 4-2. O'Rourke tallied an empty-net goal with 38.3 seconds to go.
New Canaan senior goalie Mac Wright was busy with 16 saves although the NC defense blocked a plethora of shots.
For Xavier, Ben Guiidobono registered 26 saves before being injured with 6:12 to play. Paul Hotchkiss came in and made three saves.
"Stanton is a great player and we tip our cap to New Canaan. But those goals in the final seconds of each period were killers," said Xavier coach Dan DeConti. "I'm disappointed with how we played. But we're young, we're inconsistent and we're still learning that we need to play hard the entire 45 minutes."
