Frugivory and Seed Dispersal: Ecological Interactions between Baboons, Plants, and Dung Beetles in the Savanna-Forest Mosaic of West Africa (2008)
The Guinea savanna-forest mosaic of West Africa is particularly rich in animal-dispersed plants. African savannas harbour the richest dung beetle community worldwide. The role of primates and dung beetles in natural plant regeneration and biodiversity maintenance in this ecosystem, however, is still poorly understood. The present study on olive baboons (Papio anubis Lesson 1827, Cercopithecinae) at Comoé National Park (CNP), north-eastern Ivory Coast, revealed that western olive baboon populations differ in several ways from their eastern conspecifics. Baboons are commonly regarded as predators of the seeds of their food plants. In the savanna-forest mosaic of West Africa, however, they are highly frugivorous and are important seed dispersers of a high number of woody plant species that differ in fruit type and seed size. They disperse intact seeds of at least 22% of the woody plant species of the regional plant pool. Their "seed dispersal potential", regarding seed number and seed sizes, is comparable to that of the much larger great apes. Relative to the availability in the regional pool of woody plant species, baboons preferred trees to shrubs and lianas as fruit sources and especially included larger fruit into their diet. Among several morphological fruit traits investigated, fruit type and fruit colour best described whether baboons included a species into their diet, whereas fruit type and seed size best predicted whether baboons predated upon the seeds of a food plant species. Seed size is an important plant fitness trait that can influence several steps between fruiting and the establishment of a plant´s offspring. Seed size can vary considerably within and among individuals of the same species. Primates may select for certain seed sizes within a species for a number of reasons, e.g. to decrease indigestible seed load or to increase pulp intake per fruit. Within eight out of ten plant species investigated, which differed in fruit type, seed number and seed size, olive baboons were selective in fruit choice regarding seed size. Seed size selection by olive baboons seems to be influenced, among other traits, by the amount of pulp rewarded per fruit relative to seed load, which varies with fruit and seed shape. Being a habitat generalist (with a preference for forest habitats) and able to move comparatively long distances, the olive baboon might be especially important for the biodiversity maintenance of distant forest islands. Because most woody plant species at the study site had medium-sized to large fruits and seeds, olive baboons may be crucial for seed dispersal and plant recruitment in this ecosystem. Their importance for seed dispersal of plants with small fruits should not, however, be underrated. Observation of frugivores at a typical "bird-dispersed" tree species showed that classification of seed dispersers on the basis of fruit syndromes alone can be misleading. Olive baboons disperse seeds in their faeces in a clumped manner, which generally is regarded disadvantageous for plants. Yet, seeds from all plant species being naturally present in baboon dung during seasonal peaks of dung beetle activity apparently can be scattered locally by dung beetles. Dung beetle activity at baboon faeces deposited in the two habitats was high, totalling 99 species from 26 genera. The probability and pattern of secondary seed dispersal by dung beetles depend on the structure and composition of the dung beetle community, which, in turn, seems to be strongly determined by vegetation type. I thus expected pronounced differences in secondary seed dispersal by dung beetles between seeds deposited by baboons in the savanna and in the forest. Experiments indicated that compared to seeds dispersed by baboons into the forest, seeds that end up in the savanna generally have a higher probability of (a) being removed by dung beetles, (b) being horizontally scattered by telecoprids, (c) being rapidly removed from the place of primary deposition and (d) being secondarily dispersed over larger distances. In general, savanna plants and plant habitat generalists the seeds of which baboons disperse into the savanna should profit most from secondary seed dispersal by dung beetles.
Leonia cymosa (Violaceae) is a small tree from the under story of the Amazonian rain forest. I investigated the seed dispersal ecology of L. cymosa in plots of old growth terra firme forest located within the Cuyabeno Faunistic Reserve in north-eastern Ecuador. This species offered good conditions to examine the variation of traits of individual trees and the way they are linked with fruit removal from each tree. With this study I aimed to address the question whether frugivores exert selection pressures on fruits and the fruiting regime of fleshy fruited plants. The mean height of a fruiting L. cymosa was 6.6 m (range: 2 - 12.6 m). The median tree density was 11.8 trees per hectare. Trees grew in clusters consisting of different numbers of trees of different heights. L. cymosa flowered two times a year, in late February to March and in October. The respective fruiting seasons occurred in August/September and between March and May. The fruit pulp of L. cymosa contained the sugars fructose, glucose, and sucrose, the total soluble sugar being the first important nutritional compound of the fruit pulp. The second important compound was proteins. No lipids were found in the fruit pulp. The variation of nutritional quality of the fruits was high within trees. Nonetheless, significant differences were found among trees in all nutrient constituents studied. The maximum of ripe fruits produced per season by a single tree was 427. Median productivity of the trees was 45 ripe fruits throughout the fruiting season in 1999 (n=57) and 36 ripe fruits in 2000 (n=92). The maximum standing crop of fruits in a tree was 324 fruits (counted in 2000). Black mantle tamarins, Saguinus nigricollis (Callitrichidae), and squirrel monkeys, Saimiri sciureus (Cebidae), and possibly an unknown nocturnal frugivore consumed the fruits of L. cymosa at my study site. Green-rumped acouchis (Myoprocta pratti, Dasyproctidae) consumed fallen fruits and seeds underneath the trees. Black mantle tamarins and squirrel monkeys differed widely in their effectiveness as seed dispersers. Black mantle tamarins swallowed the seeds together with the fruit pulp and defecated intact seeds far away from the mother tree. Squirrel monkeys opened the fruits to suck and gnaw on the fruit pulp, and then dropped seeds to the forest floor below the tree crowns. Each of my study plots fell into the core home range of one group each of S. nigricollis and S. sciureus. Thus, the frugivore assemblage is small and disperser availability is limited for the individual tree of L. cymosa. In a sample of 6 trees of comparable and high fruit crop size, the total of ripe fruits removed from a tree throughout the whole fruiting season by the reliable seed disperser S. nigricollis was neither significantly correlated with the content of any of the nutrients measured in the fruit pulp (fructose, glucose, sucrose, total protein; pulp does not contain lipids), nor with total metabolisable energy, seed to pulp weight ratio, or water content of the fruit pulp. Feeding preferences for single sugars determined by other laboratory studies were not confirmed by this field study. The reliable seed disperser S. nigricollis does not seem to exert selective pressure on the nutrient content of the fruits of L. cymosa. Seasonal fruit crop size was the main predictor of all aspects of fruit removal by the effective disperser of L. cymosa, Saguinus nigricollis, as well as by the non-disperser, Saimiri sciureus. Trees with larger seasonal fruit crop size had a higher probability to have fruits removed by the disperser than those with small seasonal fruit crop sizes. They also had a higher number of fruits removed by the seed disperser. However, the proportion of fruits removed by the disperser decreased with increasing seasonal fruit crop size. In contrast, probability of fruit removal, the number of fruits removed, and the proportion of fruits removed by the non-disperser increased with increasing seasonal fruit crop sizes. The observed differences between disperser and non-disperser are due to differences in feeding capacity, group size and foraging behavior. Tamarins were less likely to harvest Leonia trees that were not or less completely covered by surrounding vegetation. This probably reflects a behavior to avoid predation by forest raptors. At high con-specific fruit abundance in the neighborhood, the proportion of fruits removed by tamarins was reduced. This suggests competition of trees for the disperser. My study revealed selection of the disperser on seasonal fruit crop size of L. cymosa. My results are consistent with the "fruit crop size hypothesis". FCSH appears to constitute a valid framework also in the monkey-dispersed L. cymosa. My findings also show that factors beyond the tree's control influenced fruit removal from Leonia trees. Disperser-mediated selection may be constrained (yet not impeded) by neighborhood conditions.

Following his highly successful book, "Animal Kingdom", Jim Naughten brings to life historic specimens of the human body in this peculiarly enthralling collection of stereoscopic photographs. Historically, stereoscopic photography was widely used in medicine as a teaching aid, so it seems fitting that Jim Naughten's stereoscopic pictures of human specimens on display at the Vrolik Museum in Amsterdam transform science into art. With over 5,000 immaculately preserved objects, the Vrolik has one of the largest collections of anatomical specimens in the world. Naughten has selected 50 of the most striking examples for this book, including pathological specimens such as skeletons afflicted by rickets and other diseases of the bone; congenital malformations; and dissected heads. Many are photographed in their original wood and glass specimen cases, which lends them a haunting tone. Reproduced with stunning clarity, these transfixing images take the reader on a fascinating journey through the history of the study of anatomy, with the stereoscopic viewer permitting an immersive experience that is not possible with conventional photography.

Throughout his life photographer Jim Naughten has been fascinated with the natural world. As a child, he collected fossils he found near his home in Dover. Now a renowned photographer, Naughten has started to experiment with stereography and has turned to his boyhood interest, gaining access to the archives of some of the world's most prestigious natural history museums. This gorgeously produced book contains fifty images of marine life, reptiles, mammals, birds and primates photographed expressly for viewing through a stereoscope, which is included with the book. Stereoscopy was invented in 1839 to study and explain binocular vision. Having two eyes allows humans to determine distance and depth and stereoscopy shows a left- and right-eye view from a slightly different angle, as we see things in day-to-day life. Looking through the stereo viewer, readers will see the specimens as three-dimensional objects. As the images jump off the page, their incredible details become apparent-delicate bat wings, the spiraling skeleton of a python, the almost mythic form of a leafy sea dragon.A foreword by Martin Barnes of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London offers an assessment of the work while essays on the specimens themselves and the history of stereoscopy provide rich background to this photographic technology, and to Naughten's achievement in bringing to life a world that seamlessly melds the past and present.

En-Bloc Millionaires Reap Singapore Real-Estate Gains as Forced Sales Jump
By Kristine Aquino - Nov 4, 2010 8:02 AM GMT+0800

Rising property prices prompted the government on Aug. 30 to increase down-payments for second mortgages and impose a stamp duty on property held less than three years. Photographer: Charles Pertwee/Bloomberg
Kong-Thean Wong sold his Singapore apartment in June for S$800,000 ($620,000) more than its market value. So did all his neighbors.
Hoi Hup Realty Pte. offered the premium to Wong and other owners in a private Singapore condominium called Pender Court, according to government data. Known as an en-bloc sale, such a deal allows the developer to buy the whole building, knock it down and build a new one that would command higher prices.
"It's a good retirement program," said Wong, 55, a former banker who owns other flats and will get his S$2 million payout by the year end, 67 percent more than a similar unit fetched in November 2009. "Everyone's looking forward to the money."
En-bloc sales are a barometer of the private residential property market in land-scarce Singapore, where most apartment buildings are replaced before they are 30 years old. They give builders like CapitaLand Ltd. and Ho Hup the chance to redevelop prime locations and they fuel price gains in the private and rental markets as ejected families seek new accommodation.
At the peak of the real-estate boom in 2007 there were 86 such sales, netting more than S$11 billion, according to data from Credo Real Estate. Last year, amid the global recession, there was one for about S$100 million.
Now en-bloc sales are making a recovery, with 21 deals so far this year worth a total of almost S$1.09 billion, including five since the government announced measures to cool the market in August, according to real-estate agent CB Richard Ellis.
In the past six months, a 38-member gauge of the nation's real estate stocks has risen 13 percent compared with an 11 percent gain in the benchmark Straits Times index.
Small Island
Under Singapore law, all owners in a building can be forced to accept a developer's offer if a residents en-bloc committee gets the requisite 80 percent agreement. Pender Court, a 6-story, 48-unit complex built in 1985, sold at the third attempt.
"Singapore is a very small island with a natural growth boundary," said Chua Yang Liang, head of Southeast Asia Research at Jones Lang LaSalle. "There is a need to maximize land parcels."
Hoi Hup Realty declined to comment on its plans for the Pender Court site. Among its developments is Residences@Killiney, a 68-unit condo two blocks from the main shopping street of Orchard Road that replaces Killiney Apartments, which Hoi Hup purchased in a collective sale in 2007.
The premiums generated by en-bloc sales can skew the rest of the market, particularly rental prices, according to Chua Chor Hoon, head of Southeast Asia Research at DTZ Group. "When people give up their own home, they have to find somewhere else to stay," she said.
Meng Garden
The unprecedented wave of collective sales in 2007 helped lift rental rates by a record 41 percent and condominium prices by the most in almost eleven years.
En-bloc committees to negotiate a sale have been formed by at least 46 properties in 2010, according to data from CB Richard Ellis. The list includes Meng Garden, a 25-year-old complex near Orchard Road that sold for S$137 million -- the most expensive this year.
"We're beginning to see a pickup in activity in the mid- to-high-end market," said Donald Han, managing director for Cushman & Wakefield. "When that happens, I think we'll see a snowball effect of some of the larger developers coming in."
Rising property prices prompted the government on Aug. 30 to increase down-payments for second mortgages and impose a stamp duty on property held less than three years. The market jumped 23 percent in the third quarter from a year earlier, according to data from the Urban Redevelopment Authority.
New Deals
Analysts said the measures would have a bigger effect on the Housing & Development Board's public apartment projects that house 80 percent of locals than private condos, which typically include facilities like swimming pools and tennis courts.
Two days after the cooling measures were announced, a condominium in the Balestier area sold collectively for S$44 million with homeowners expecting up to S$2.26 million each. The same day, a building in nearby Newton was offered en-bloc for S$48 million, Channel NewsAsia reported.
The government's measures "will certainly have some cooling effect," said Irvin Seah, economist at DBS Group Holdings Ltd. "Sellers will be holding back."
Collective sales divide communities between those tempted by the premium and those who don't want to lose their home.
Susan Ye's neighbors failed this year in their second attempt to persuade her and other holdouts to sell the 489-unit Clementi Park, a sprawling estate of 11 blocks built in 1985 on a hill in the west of the island.
Heated Exchanges
"The situation was very unfriendly and un-neighborly," said Ye, who started website saveclementipark.com with neighbors who wanted to block the sale. "It's created a kind of a pressure-cooker situation. Many of us face an attempt to sell every two years, which is really exhausting."
The hotter the market, the more heated become the exchanges between would-be "en-bloc millionaires" and those trying to keep their home. At the 2007 peak, residents reported scratched cars, anonymous hate letters and verbal abuse from neighbors.
Owners at Farrer Court in 2007 received letters warning them to sign a sale agreement or face "bad fengshui" that would bring illness or death, the Straits Times reported.
Farrer Court sold June 2007, becoming the first en-bloc deal in Singapore to top S$1 billion. Owners received as much as S$2.2 million, almost four times the price two years earlier.
'En Bloc'
The next billion dollar en-bloc "could happen as early as next year," said Karamjit Singh, managing director at property consultant Credo Real Estate Pte Ltd., which brokered the S$1.3 billion Farrer Court sale to a group led by CapitaLand.
Singapore's collective sales have even spurred an eight- episode television series. "En Bloc," from state-owned broadcaster MediaCorp Pte., "explored how the en-bloc sale potentially threatened the breakup of multigeneration families living under one roof," said Executive Producer and Director Emida Natalaray in an e-mail.
For Ye at Clementi Park, the victory in keeping her home may be temporary as prices rise, increasing pressure for owners to accept a developer's offer.
"The property market is cyclical," she said. "There will always be people trying to sell your home from under you."

Transit is ultra conservative: A look back on the Right to public transit
Marc Lefkowitz | 07/14/16 @ 12:00pm | Posted in Transit
We've heard it argued that transit embodies the Conservative ideal. It is certainly fiscally constrained and a more efficient use of scarce public resources than investing in single-occupant vehicles. Don't take our word for it. That was the central theme in a report penned by Paul Weyrich, "father" of the right-wing movement and co-founder of the Heritage Foundation and William Lind, a native Clevelander. They argued well for bringing transit back onto the Conservative agenda.
Weyrich and Lind's report, "Good Urban Transit: A Conservative Model" makes the case that public transit investment will drive reinvestment in Cleveland and connect the region by, for example, bringing more pedestrians, the lifeblood of social and economic activity, back to neighborhoods. The pair would like to see:
- Investment in electrified streetcars on Madison Avenue, Clifton, Cedar Hill to Euclid Heights Boulevard to Mayfield Road-parts of the city tailor made for streetcars.
- Extending RTA's existing Blue, Green and Red Rapid Transit lines so they intersect with highways (I-90 in Euclid and I-271 and Chagrin in Beachwood) and build large park-and-ride lots.
- Build a new commuter rail network as both an engine for the region's economic prospects and as a national security priority on little used freight rail lines radiating from the city.
"Prudence demands energy independence, for our cities and for our nation," the conclude. "Building good urban transit based on electric railways promises good long-term results."
Read the original GCBL post "Conservatives offer national plan for transit with Cleveland as the model" which includes a link to the report.

These very aspirational projects should be tempered by the reality of available funds, though. Consider that the Euclid corridor project would have been the ideal place for a light rail / electric streetcar system (high ridership / desire for new iconic transit spine), but budget realities led to the best-use-of-resources decision to use Bus Rapid Transit. I could imagine seeing electric busses + trollypoles on our old streetcar streets much more easily than true rail streetcars.
I mention this because I believe there is a great romance to rail as something beautiful every city should have which often leads to nice dreams but less often leads to realizable plans. I certainly dream that Cleveland would one day rebuild its streetcar system as citywide light rail...

A Report from the Front Line of Heroin Addiction
I see the effect of heroin use and abuse every day in helping addicts, but news of the drug and its myriad effects is ubiquitous. I hear about it on the BBC almost daily. I read about its effects in Eastern Europe and Africa...news of its effects in Western Europe and the US is not novel, unless it is about the death of a celebrity like Phillip Seymour Hoffman, who died in February of this year.
I have heard of clinics across the world attempting and succeeding in different treatments with limited long-term abstinence. I have heard of programs, drug courts, interventions and pharmaceutical therapies with marginal success.
What I do know is this "every user needs to know that he or she is loved and that he or she is very sick - addiction is fatal - and that he or she must take responsibility for his or her own recovery." It is not their fault that they are addicted, but it is their responsibility to accept and use a solution that works for them to quit and stay clean.

This is a competitive renewal application for the grant """"""""Brain Structure, Function, and Growth in Children with Oral Clefts"""""""" (5RO1 DEO14399-05). The study is designed to evaluate brain structure / function, and growth in subjects with non-syndromic or `isolated clefts of the lip and/or palate'(ICLP). In addition, the study will evaluate the relationship between measures of brain structure/function and genes associated with oral clefts. Clefts of the lip/palate are an aberration in development. In addition to the facial defect, subjects with ICLP also suffer from significant problems in speech, behavior, and cognition. The etiology of these deficits have typically been considered as `secondary'to factors such as hearing deficits during development from chronic otitis media (which is ubiquitous in children with clefts) or even the psychological factors of living with a cleft. However our lab has been the first to consider the notion that the deficits in speech, behavior, and cognition of subjects with ICLP may well be due to a primary problem in brain structure / function. The development of the face and the development of the brain are intimately related, thus it follows logically that an abnormality in facial development may also be accompanied by an abnormality in brain development. However, the study of the neurobiology of ICLP has been virtually non-existent. The initial phase of the proposal has shown that children with ICLP have significantly abnormal brain structure and function. Moreover, these abnormalities are directly related to speech, cognitive function, and behavioral abnormalities. However, the pattern of the brain abnormalities seen in children with ICLP are strikingly different from the pattern of brain abnormalities seen in adults with ICLP. The brain takes an exceedingly long time to develop with late maturational processes of synaptic pruning and myelination taking place through the second decade of life. Therefore, the current proposal is a combination cross-sectional and longitudinal study evaluating the developmental trajectories of brain growth and development from child to adult, ages 7-30 years. Subjects with ICLP will be matched by age and sex to healthy controls. The determinants of brain structure are highly genetic. In addition, several genes have been associated with non-syndromic oral clefting and may play a key role in its pathoetiology (e.g., MSX1, IRF6). It is likely that the genetic determinants of isolated clefting are related to the accompanying abnormalities in brain structure and function. Evaluating the relationship between brain structure/function and genes known to be associated with isolated clefts may shed light on possible etiologic mechanisms at the molecular level.
The study is designed to evaluate brain structure / function, and growth in subjects with non-syndromic or `isolated clefts of the lip and/or palate'(ICLP). In addition, the study will evaluate the relationship between measures of brain structure/function and genes associated with oral clefts.

I have recently formed a S-Corporation for my web design services. I have purchased several Nolo books on the incorporation process and am in the process of writing my Bylaws and Minutes for the first Director's meeting using templates found in Nolo's kits.
I am the single owner, director, shareholder and employee of the company. In several places on the templates it states "On motion duly made and seconded, it was...". Obviously this does not pertain to my situation. Is there a generally used replacement phrase for such a situation?

dLive/Avantis audio networking card
The gigaACE audio networking card (M-DL-GACE) is one of several audio networking options that can be fitted to any Allen & Heath dLive or Avantis I/O Port. It provides a 128x128ch 96kHz gigaACE point-to-point link to another dLive or Avantis mixing system. It also enables connection from a dLive system to the DX Hub or GX4816 expander.
gigaACE is Allen & Heath's proprietary protocol for transporting Audio and Control over Ethernet, using standard CAT cables. It allows very low latency and cable redundancy without any audio dropout. gigaACE can also tunnel the dLive/Avantis TCP/IP control network over the same connection, for example to enable control of either of the two systems by a single laptop.
The gigaACE card offers a cost-effective and simple solution for digital split applications, replacing the copper multicore / analogue splitters of the past. In a typical FoH / Monitor configuration, the inputs of a dLive or Avantis system are sent to a second system where independent trim, processing and mixing is applied.
gigaACE is a truly plug 'n play protocol: no computer is required for the setup of gigaACE connections. Simply plug the cable between any two dLive/Avantis systems and set the patch and clock settings directly on the mixer.
- 128 in, 128 out
- 96kHz sample rate
- Ultra-low transport latency – 5 samples (52 us)
- Dual redundancy
- Switchable Control Network Bridge

I didn't post yesterday because I was at the epicentre of an intense ebay frenzy. Among the items of designer vintage clothing I don't need but have bid on, there is one dress that I have become particularly attached to. So I ask you, dear reader, to pray (to whomever you worship; God, Allah, Buddha, Vishnu, Athena, Visa Card... I'm not fussy) for the union of me and the dress. If you have praying time to spare, could you also please ask that nobody else bids on the dress? That'd be dandy.
I'll let you know in a few days if your efforts did any good.

HUD turning control of Housing Authority over to SF after financial problems
Years of gross financial mismanagement have finally caught up with the San Francisco Housing Authority.
On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ordered the embattled agency to submit to a takeover by the city's government and to begin drafting a plan to shed all of its core functions. That plan is due to HUD by April 8.
The correspondence, predicated on the Housing Authority's recent financial problems, represents a damning culmination of the agency's deeply troubled and scandal-riddled past.
Rather than take over the quasi-federal Housing Authority itself, HUD said in its letter ordering the change that allowing city officials to assume control was "in the best interest" of the roughly 14,000 San Francisco households reliant on the agency's financial subsidies.
HUD will work with the city and the Housing Authority to ensure that housing subsidies aren't interrupted during the next few months of transition.
"We want to ensure that people keep a roof over their heads. That's the goal of this letter and the oversight. This is what we've worked with the city to devise," said Jereon Brown, a HUD spokesman.
Rose Marie Dennis, a spokeswoman for the Housing Authority, declined to comment.
As a quasi-federal entity, the Housing Authority distributes money from federally funded rental assistance programs, including Section 8 vouchers. The vouchers pay private landlords and the nonprofit organizations that have taken over most of the city's public housing during the past decade, a shift set in motion by the agency's chronic problems.
In October, an audit by HUD and a specialized accounting firm revealed that the Housing Authority's shoddy bookkeeping resulted in the agency recording a $25 million deficit as reserve money. The city guaranteed the agency a $20 million loan, though not all of that money has been accessed. HUD provided the remaining $5 million.
City officials said Thursday that the Housing Authority had struggled to recruit and retain staff conversant in the highly specialized world of federal housing finance.
HUD labeled the Housing Authority a "troubled" agency in 2013 after a string of scandals. Much of the agency's past woes trace back to its former director, Henry Alvarez, who was fired in 2013 after three employee lawsuits accusing him of retaliation and discrimination, dozens of bullying and intimidation complaints, and allegations he steered contracts to friends and political allies.
Extensive financial mismanagement and reports of squalid living conditions in public housing projects eventually compelled then-Mayor Ed Lee to shift the management of those buildings to private entities and nonprofits.
HUD's letter to the agency condemns the Housing Authority's repeated failure to document and submit critical and legally required financial reports, calculate accurate financial projections and for letting its reporting systems fall into disarray.
Its inability to maintain accurate accounting records "has been repeatedly identified as a source of material weakness" in the Housing Authority's ability to manage its voucher programs, HUD stated.
The eventual unwinding of the Housing Authority will result in some local job loss, but the number is not yet known. Part of HUD's mandate includes outsourcing some housing voucher programs to "third-party experts."
Mayor London Breed sent a letter to the agency's employees Thursday telling them the city would work with the Housing Authority's labor unions to provide job training and design "appropriate" severance packages.
"My city departments will be working closely with the Housing Authority to create a full range of employment and training opportunities to assist you in transitioning to city employment where possible," Breed wrote.
While the Housing Authority is overseen largely by the federal government, there are local officials who manage and help steer the agency.
A seven-member local commission, appointed by the mayor's office, sets localized policy goals and approves the agency's annual budget.
Commission President Joaquin Torres — also the director of the city's Office of Economic and Workforce Development — said the agency had long lacked the "extraordinarily specialized" financial expertise that could have allowed officials to spot and correct accounting problems. The commission will assist in the Housing Authority's transition, but its long-term fate is unknown.
"Now it's up to us to respond to HUD to take (financial reforms) to the next step and enable us to work at this different level," Torres said.

- Depending on the size of your waffle iron, scoop a layer of the potato mixture onto the surface (for the round waffle maker, I used about 1 cup of the mixture). Spread to about 1/2 inch from the edges and close the waffle iron. Cook for about 5 minutes, checking every few minutes to avoid burning. When the entire waffle is golden brown in color, carefully remove from the waffle iron with a fork or tongs.

text: Hi. I have a strange one here. I am hopping someone can help me figure this out. Problem. 2 wire IBM / Simplex system runs one min faster then the master. The particulars. Slave clocks are a variety of IBM and Simplex from 1920 to about 2000 most are IBM two coil high quality brass movement or Simplex one coil metal gears and 60 tooth wheel. There are no one min cams. (I think) Boosters There are two boosters, one connected directly to the master, and one down stream in another wing. Both boosters are Latham PS8-24B Master National Time and Signal MC-100 This is where it gets interesting. The master has a programing error. It's 2 wire output called Cincinnati D3 is as follows XX:00 - XX:49 2 sec Positive pulse each minute (59 sec and 60th sec.) I know, That is wrong. XX:50 - XX:58 2 sec Negative pulse each minute. XX:59 One 2 sec Positive pulse followed by twenty 2 sec negative pulses. OK, That's odd, but it seems to me, that it should work as long as the slaves are working OK but every clock in the building runs one minute fast. More details. A lone slave connected directly to the master for testing keeps correct time. If the other slaves in the building are stopped for two minutes, they will catch up to the correct time at the 59th minute. 12 hrs later they were still on time (I think) 2 days later they were one min fast. They will run weeks and never gain another minute. I want to ask the manufacture to correct the software (Firm where) in there master but it would help if I could tell them why it doesn't work. BTW This is for our church school. It is a working system but I maintain it for free. That and the fact that it is OLD are why I am asking for help on this forum. Thoughts? Thank You

DEL NORTE— Honoring a story never told, the Rio Grande County Board of County Commissioners opened their meeting on Wednesday, April 24 with a presentation from Suzanne and Gordon Off recognizing Virgil Simon Off for his service in World War II. Adding Virgil's name to the dedication in the Rio Grande County courthouse and memorial wall at Home Lake finally honors the man who perished when the USS Arizona suffered a surprise attack in Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.
"We had a nice little ceremony today," noted Commissioner and Board Chairperson Suzanne Bothell before kicking off official discussions. Born in Del Norte, Virgil served in the U.S. Navy and received the Pacific Fleet assignment aboard the USS Arizona in Hawaii. County staff and local residents attended the commemoration before the regularly scheduled meeting.
Clerk and Recorder Cindy Hill quickly gained approval to renew the liquor license for Dos Rios in Monte Vista, the first action taken for the morning.
Presenting next, Rio Grande County Director of Social Services Jody Kern explained that it was National Denim Day and she was not declaring casual Wednesday all by herself. Kern and staff members wore denim trousers as part of a wider awareness campaign for sexual assault (symbolized by jeans this year).
Kern relayed a few examples of state-level changes and tendencies that create difficulty for Rio Grande County and other rural communities in Colorado. First, a reallocation formula this year will introduce new services to some Colorado counties while reducing funding and social service coverage in Rio Grande County.
"We have a population of underserved people," Kern explained. "So it affects this population disproportionately. People in other areas had never had this assistance," Kern continued. "But our families have had it. So if you take it away from them, they will feel it. We shouldn't pull the rug out from under them and then add money to other counties."
According to Kern, State Representative Don Valdez and State Senator Larry Crowder have been made aware of the situation, and the rules committee seems very receptive. They will review in January, and the state board is helping because people are finally making noise.
"People are paying attention to us," Kern said.
In other state-level connections, Kern reported another successful audit among the ongoing scrutiny all counties face.
"If you have audit finding," Kern said, "you are high risk. We have not had a finding in over 10 years."
A third state issue might hit Rio Grande County later in the year, Kern cautioned. When the department needs to accommodate court-ordered placements, services must be covered regardless of budget status. In recent years, supplemental budgets and transfers have allowed many counties to cover costs when all the counties have been forced to overspend from the state allocation and no other funds are available.
When a resident loses his or her medical card, replacing it is mandatory, time-consuming and not the best use of county resources. Commissioners approved a policy to align with the state limit of four card replacements within a year, called the "Excessive Card Replacement Policy."
Kern closed her update with details about the future of the Option for Long-term Care (OLC) program. Providing options for the elderly, this program is not facing funding problems. But it requires resources that are likely to increase soon as new administrative burdens will be significant and staff members are already stretched thin.
More important, some department functions are court-ordered and mandatory, but the OLC program is a voluntary, long-standing tradition that many in the community value. Like other social services, Kern explained, people across the state find different solutions to similar problems.
"We have 64 counties and 64 ways of doing business," Kern said.
Emily Brown, Rio Grande County director of public health, talked about a number of health issues, started with coordination across organizations in times of need. The Volunteer Organization Assisting Disaster (VOAD) networks providers who might have bottled water, equipment or expertise to deploy immediately if a disaster requires their goods or services.
Brown also shared an award the county received from the state on April 3. Celebrating National Public Health Week, the Colorado House of Representatives presented the recognition in Denver.
Kent Rominger Airport Manager Jay Sarason finalized board appointments with commissioners and requested subtle policy changes that, as commissioner Gene Glover explained later, "allows the manager to do his job." Managing parking, trash and other basic functions had become cumbersome according to old procedures.
Sarason described old setback codes and new construction projects for commissioners to approve. He also expressed concern about risks to pilots moving planes around at night when livestock and antelope roam the runways. Fencing for safety is a high priority commissioners supported, and they counseled him to balance fund options to achieve objectives.
Sarason also noted the revenue potential and service improvement by routinely selling fuel on-site. Pilots chart paths based on refueling options. Like plans to improve the runway overlay to accommodate heavier planes (in addition to the pilots' convenience amenity in development), enhancing the airport increases growth.
As Sarason noted, "CDOT loves it when we're investing in our own airport."
Commissioners also clarified board appointments for the. Assigned to one-year positions, the current board of directors includes Chairperson Tom Haefeli, Dale Berkbigler, Bob Johnson, Dusty Hicks and Chez Yund.
Museum Director Louise Colville presented revenue-generating ideas to commissioners to leverage duplicate copies of books and other artifacts.
Using the museum gift shop and targeted events like Covered Wagon Days, museum staff members can raise additional funds to help cover costs.
Colville and the commissioners delved into detailed archive protocols for cataloging individual exhibits. Diverse shows include artifacts from the museum, private collectors and other sources. Consolidated in a single glass case, the objects seem easy to track. But when multiple shows open and close simultaneously in the curator's environment, keeping tabs on the inventory can be a challenge.
Closing out the meeting, Charlie Spielman requested a sound system to amplify commissioners and presenters, although that was not why he waited all morning until he had a chance to present an idea for the Summitville Mine site. Recognizing how two wrongs might make a right, Spielman questioned how carefully Galactic Resources sorted materials during operation. Spielman suggested exploring an extraction project with the remaining tailings and materials after he witnessed hours of perfunctory ore handling.
"That gave me hope that there's some pretty good grade stuff in there," Spielman said.
The original gold rush on South Mountain drew miners to the Summitville area in the 1870s, followed by 150 years of profitable gold and silver extraction and decades of expensive cleanup. Perhaps a concentrated project to tidy the tailings will bring extra revenue to Rio Grande County, like finding coins under couch cushions.

The Pacific Art League of Palo Alto
Palo Alto, CA 94301
Founded in 1921 as "The Palo Alto Art Club," the Pacific Art League began as a community of and for artists—new, emerging and professional—and soon became a valuable addition to the San Francisco Peninsula's cultural life. We are a membership organization, guided and managed by a volunteer Board of Directors, who are also long-time members. We are assisted by many volunteers who bring expertise and dedication to a wide variety of projects.
The Pacific Art League is an inviting place for anyone who wants to create art. Nearly two-thirds of our members describe themselves as amateur or student artists. Members frequently comment that the Art League is more than just a place to exhibit art and take classes. Rather, it is a community of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, ages and skills who come together to express themselves through art.
We offer:
- Fine arts classes in diverse media
- Exhibition opportunities for both established and emerging artists
- After-school classes and summer art camps.
- Lectures, workshops, and special events.
- Many opportunities to volunteer and meet other artists and art lovers!
"To provide an environment for
advancing the expression, appreciation
and enjoyment of the arts"
- To advance expression we offer opportunities to take classes and workshops in a diverse array of media and at all skill levels. This includes painting as well as artistic creation in craft media, technique as well as composition and design.
- To advance appreciation we offer opportunities to display artistic creations in a public forum (including our three galleries, classrooms and community sites), organize lectures on art history and art appreciation and to provide both formal jurying as well as peer evaluation of artwork.
- To advance enjoyment we combine physical presentation with social interaction to enrich the art experience. It includes outreach to special groups such as youth or seniors with tailored opportunities. It includes art focused "hybrid" events for members and community.
- To provide an environment means that PAL goes beyond the single use concept of classroom, or gallery by combining multiple opportunities - exhibitions, lectures, refreshment, performance arts, social gatherings - to promote collegiality and wider access to the arts.

In our "Morning Comment" on Friday morning, we highlighted WFC...and turned bearish on the stock. Since then it has fallen over 8%.
That's a very big move over just three trading days, so any short-term traders who might have gotten short on our call should consider covering down at these levels.
Another reason to consider covering is that its daily RSI chart falling to 18.5, That's the same level it saw in late December of 2018...just before it began a strong bounce of 14% over the next month.

There's no better feeling than that of an internet connection that doesn't buffer. You can enjoy this feeling by getting the 4G/LTE connection. It gives you the best connection as well as fast internet speeds. Just try picturing yourself surfing at 2G speeds yet you have a 4G enabled mobile phone! Frustrating right? This is as worse as it gets. So, how do I make sure that I enjoy better signals? There's no need for you to worry.
A 4G signal booster is the perfect solution for you. I know you're now wondering how this magic device operates. Whether there will be seamless compatibility between this device and your network carrier.
Do I need a 4G signal booster? Should it be an enterprise-level device or will consumer-grade suffice? How do I acquire this device? Let us dive deep to give you an in-depth look so that we can answer these questions and much more.
The acquisition of the 4G signal booster is the first thing that you should do. This device is popularly known as the "amplification 4G" in France. It functions similarly to other boosters. Cranking up of the weakest of signals is done by the 4G signal booster. This makes this cranked up signal accessible for your phone.
Behold, full 4G bars. You should just make sure you find the spot with the strongest 4G signal within your office or house. It at this spot where your booster should be located.
The setup process is easy once this spot is identified. There's no need to worry about how the booster will be fitted on the wall. Think of it as a piece of art that fits right in. It may just be the wall piece that you've been longing for. Besides, don't sweat when it comes to the installations. Our technicians will oversee this process to see to it that the device is functioning properly.
Which mobile signal booster can work best for me? First of all make sure that it is not the 3G signal you need to boost. Knowing which 4G signal booster is best for your building depends on some factors. 4G boosters exist in varieties. They are specifically designed to meet different needs.
The main difference between them is their sizes. The 150m2 or the 300m2 booster is ideal for a small house. This booster can sufficiently serve a few mobile phone users. You should contemplate on acquiring a stronger booster in case you forecast a more demanding usage. A booster of up to 1500m2 or 2500m2 should do it. The 1800 MHz frequency is what's primarily used on the 4G signal booster.
Most network carriers within the country are compatible with these boosters. This carters for carriers such as EE, BT Mobile, O2, GiffGaff, Orange, Three, T-Mobile, Vodafone and Virgin Mobile. So if you are wondering whether or not there's compatibility between the booster and your phone, of course, there's compatibility.
For a steady signal with the best speeds, this is the device for you. Simply put, it's pretty easy. Just get the 4G signal booster in the UK. Then, you are up and running. Don't opt for anything slower!

empowers openly identified sexual minority people called to God's mission of ministry and witness.
Lutheran Lesbian & Gay Ministries
Comes with discussion guide.
Offering insights into all the current struggles over sexuality within organized religion, Call to Witness tells the stories of three openly gay and lesbian midwestern Lutheran pastors who have taken a stand against their own church. This ground breaking documentary skillfully unpacks the contradictions within the ELCA, which supposedly welcomes lesbians and gay men, but, at the same time, condemns them.
Call to Witness tells the stories of Rev. Steve Sabin in Iowa, who was outed by his bishop, supported by his congregation, and "tried" by the national church because he refused to resign; Rev. Jane Ralph in Missouri, who was forced out of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America with no process for recourse; and Pastoral Minister Anita C. Hill in Minnesota, who was working to be ordained as an openly lesbian pastor in the year 2001. Also included are two San Francisco congregations that defied the ELCA in 1990 by calling Revs. Ruth Frost, Phyllis Zillhart, and Jeff Johnson, openly gay and lesbian pastors not on the approved ELCA roster.
"The stories in Call to Witness need to be heard if we are to seriously engage in the 'continuing conversation' that is our currently stated purpose. That conversation has multiple sides and this video presents a side seldom heard by the people in our pews, or in the public." - Bishop Paul Egertson, Southern California West Synod, ELCA, Retired.
"Call to Witness is very important. It helps people understand the painful process we¹re in and see the heroes who are guiding us through it. What¹s going on in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is going on everywhere." - Rev. Mel White, Author/Activist and Founder of Soulforce
"Call to Witness exquisitely captures the new integrity God is calling us to." --Rev. Jimmy Creech, United Methodist Church
"In just sixty minutes, Call to Witness captures not only an important piece of history, but also illustrates why religious debates are so essential to our struggle for civil rights." - Jim Mitulski, GLBT Outreach Coordinator, James Hormel Center, San Francisco

Colour blocking has recently spilled over into home décor and interior design. This trend takes the same idea in home design that is does in fashion: the colours are paired with no concern of matching. In the home colour blocking is used mainly in room décor and walls.
Colour blocking is thought of as the exploration of taking colours that are opposites on the color wheel and pairing them together to make interesting and complementary color combinations.

text: I will post code when I get home from work. I have 150 (I will only need like 100 of them) apa102 LEDs hooked up through a logic voltage converter chip using an 5V 8A power supply on the high side and 3.3v from my rPi 3 on the low side. Here is the chip: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073D4DJDC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 As a note I have also hooked things up without said chip and I get the same issue. There is no difference. Ground for said chip is connected to both the rpi and the negative voltage on the power supply. Pin 19 is going to the left most input, and the output is going to DI. Pin 23 is going to the right most input, and its output is going to CI. I have double and triple checked which pins I am using. Observations: When one of the data cables (i forget if it is c or d) is disconnected, the LEDS cascade to white. If ground is unplugged, they randomly shuffle colors. power supply is 5.65V, but my rpi's 5v pin is outputting at 6.3V for some reason. At no point have I ever seen a cascade of Hypercon starting up, a color select from hypercon's color preview, or a direct call of hyperion giving it an output value. I have run an spi test found here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/spi/README.md#troubleshooting It comes back as shown when pin 21 is connected to 19, and comes back as all zeros when pin 21 is disconnected. I do not have an O-scope yet, but I will be getting my hands on one soon to view the signal coming from pins 19 and 23. Using a DMM, I have measured 5.6V on the 5V side of the LED strip, and 0V on the ground side, relative to the rpi's ground. Software: I freshly reinstalled raspbian, initiated SSH and SPI, and then ran hypercon from my laptop, installing hyperion over ssh. Hypercon config is stock values using apa102 at spidev 0.0 and 0.1, and varied bitrates from 50k to 8MHz. Config file successfuly saves and sends, and the SSH log shows a proper config file initated whenever hyperion is started up. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling my OS and hyperion. Thoughts: There might be a library I need but don't know about, since I did not run any git pulls like I saw in previous builds. I also previously used a WS8201 using the PWM, and almost got it working, but it was still shuffling colors and being a real pain, so I just waited for my 5v and apa102 to show up in the mail before reinstalling a fresh raspbian, and retrying with the apa102s.

Don't get me wrong. I like corporate bonds as an asset class. And I think private sector investors like you and me should actively consider owning corporate bonds at any given time as part of managing a broadly diversified portfolio. Instead, where I start to think it becomes a REALLY lousy idea to buy corporate bonds is when you're talking about a major global monetary policy institution like the European Central Bank (ECB), which is set to begin buying corporate bonds as part of its ongoing once extraordinary now pedestrian stimulus program. Global central banks have long ago crossed the market intervention line, which is bound to only add to the eventual unintended consequences down the road.

France coach Didier Deschamps said he was deeply proud after his team beat Belgium and claim a place in the World Cup finals.
Defender Samuel Umtiti slotted home in the sixth minute after the halftime break, making it the all important goal and seal a 1-0 win in the Semi-finals match at Saint Petersburg Stadium.
Deschamps' side will face England or Croatia in Moscow on Sunday as they look to lift the trophy for the second time following their triumph on home soil in 1998.
"It was exceptional," the 49-year-old told reporters. "I'm very happy for my players, we showed character and the right mentality, it was very hard for us tonight. We worked hard defensively.
"We had to take advantage a bit more in the counterattacks, but congratulations to my players and my staff. I feel very proud for my group."

Chief exec of Muslim Welfare House happy Brexit fanatic who assaulted Jeremy Corbyn jailed
PUBLISHED: 10:05 26 March 2019 | UPDATED: 10:12 26 March 2019
The chief exec of Muslim Welfare House has spoken of his relief after a Brexit fanatic who assaulted Jeremy Corbyn was jailed for 28 days.
Toufik Kacimi was left shocked and scared after John Murphy hit the Islington North veteran with an egg in his hand during a visit to Muslim Welfare House, in Seven Sisters Road, on March 3.
Murphy, 31, of Whetstone, in Barnet, pleaded guilty to assaulting Mr Corbyn at Westminster Magistrates' Court yesterday – and will now serve a short prison sentence.
"I'm happy that he was sentenced," Toufik told the Gazette. "Because he hit Jeremy hard and he scared everyone with his angry resentment.
"It wasn't just throwing and egg, as most reports said before the court judgment yesterday, he smashed it into him.
"Jeremy is an elderly man and you could hear it [the impact] from everywhere [in the room]. We were all really shocked."
Chief Magistrate Emma Arbuthnot acknowledged the "current climate" as she jailed Murphy, calling his actions an "attack on our democratic process".
Murphy, a freelance events promoter who lives with his parents in Totteridge Common, Whetstone, will also spend a year on licence.
In an impact statement read to court, Mr Corbyn said he was "shocked and surprised" by the attack.
He said: "I feel these kind of attacks drive a wedge between elected representatives and those who elect them in the first place.
"We are now reviewing and increasing my security protection."
The Labour leader was visiting the welfare house for the fifth annual Visit My Mosque Day, where more than 250 centres across the UK open their doors to the community to improve community relations.
Prosecutor Kevin Christie told the court that Mr Corbyn took off his shoes and sat down next to his wife Laura Alvarez and a group of people who seemed to be "in great spirits".
"Suddenly, he felt a strike to the right side of his forehead and then realised someone had reached over his right shoulder and struck him," Mr Christie said.
"As he was struck, he heard a male voice shouting: 'Respect the vote."'
Mr Corbyn had gone to the centre with shadow home secretary Diane Abbott after visiting north London's Finsbury Park mosque, which was the site of the terror attack by far-right extremist Darren Osborne.

Garlic provides remarkable support not only to the digestive system but may help maintain normal cholesterol levels in the circulation.
Key Features:
- Helps Maintain a Healthy Heart
- Relieve High Blood Pressure
- Detoxify The Body
What is Garlic?
Garlic is truly an incredible supplement and has been found to reduce inflammation and offer antioxidant benefits. This is due to an incredibly powerful compound called Allicin. Garlic is regularly used to support healthy cholesterol levels and overall cardiovascular well-being. Our high strength formula of 1000 mg enhances these cardio advantages. E-nutrition's fast discharge soft-gels are extremely bioavailable and odour free making taking garlic easy without the smell.
Garlic has been used for thousands of years it has been well documented by numerous important civilizations, including the Babylonians, Greeks, Egyptians, Chinese and Romans. Hippocrates, the great Greek philosopher frequently called the father of Western medicine. Would prescribe to people garlic to heal a mixture of medical ailments.
The Benefits
The most amazing thing about this supplement is the many benefits it provides, some of the most important benefits are:
Immune System – Garlic extract stimulates white blood cells (neutrophils, macrophages, monocytes, and lymphocytes) by increasing glutathione. White blood cells are immune cells that help shield you from infections, while glutathione is an antioxidant that secures immune cells from free radicals. Garlic supplements, taken daily during the cold season, help to prevent or shorten the duration of colds.
Antioxidants – Oxidative stress can be lessened by garlic this is because it has antioxidative effects, shielding the human body on a microscopic level from free radicals. Studies show that the brain is especially susceptible to oxidative stress damage, so those small garlic capsules may manage to keep you sharper for longer.
Prevention of Heart Disease – Taking garlic on a regular basis (supplements or in food) may help to decrease cholesterol levels because of the antioxidant qualities of Allicin. It is also extremely helpful to improve blood sugar levels and blood pressure.
Further information
Garlic also manages oral diseases like oral thrush, periodontitis, and sore mouth from dentures. Garlic has fantastic antibacterial effects on dental plaque bacteria that if left untreated can cause tooth decay.
Allicin in garlic fights bacteria by hindering sulfur-containing enzymes that need bacteria for survival. Garlic may be used in combination with antibiotics or to handle multidrug-resistant bacteria.

COLUMBUS, Ga. – The first day of the 2016 NFCA Division III Leadoff Classic is in the books and six teams completed the day undefeated. Texas-Tyler, Christopher Newport, Virginia Wesleyan, Texas Lutheran, Lake Forest and Trine all finished 2-0 on the first day at the South Commons Softball Complex.
Tournament Central | Full Results (pdf)
The No. 1 team in the NFCA poll, Texas Tyler and its stingy pitching staff did not allow a run in a pair of 7-0 triumphs over No. 10 Berry and No. 13 Illinois Wesleyan. In the opener, Kelsie Batten tossed a six-hit shutout with four strikeouts, while Alaina Kissinger was even stingier, surrendering just two base knocks and striking out six. Five-run innings keyed the Patriots' offense with those coming in the second (Game 1) and sixth (Game 2) innings, respectively.
No. 3 Christopher Newport put nine runs on the scoreboard in each contest to post 9-2 and 9-3 victories over Fontbonne and No. 23 Linfield. The Captains drew 14 walks in the opener against the Griffins, while Tara Heatwole struck out eight and walked just one in a complete-game effort in the circle and Meagan Jones went 3-for-3 with an RBI and three runs scored. In their nightcap, the Captains raced out to a 5-0 lead in the bottom of the first and did not look back. They were paced offensively by a 4-for-4 effort from Sarah Clark and a home run off the bat of Brittney Walters.
Eighth-ranked Virginia Wesleyan scored a pair of 10-1 victories behind an offense that recorded 23 hits and its pitchers (Kandis Kresinske & Mary Shipp) twirling a pair of four-hitters. Sparking the offense was leadoff hitter Courtney Bogan, going 5-for-8 with five runs scored, while Cassetty Howertin, Blake Henderson and Kayla Dost all left the yard for the Marlins.
Texas Lutheran cruised to a 9-0 victory over Western Connecticut State before needing a seventh-inning, two-out rally to defeat No. 17 Central, 5-3. The Bulldogs received a five-hit shutout from Taylor Grissom and were powered by a seven-run fifth to open the tournament. Nicole Snow highlighted the big inning with a game-ending grand slam and finished the five-inning affair 2-for-3 with a double, home run and four RBI. Against the Dutch, the Bulldogs jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second, only to see Central rally to even the contest in the fifth. However, a pair of two-out walks followed by a clutch two-run double by Jennifer Gallagher in the top of the seventh sealed the win.
Rounding out the 2-0 teams were Lake Forest and Trine. The 23rd-ranked Foresters needed extras and a squeeze play to upend No. 22 Alma, 2-1, in eight innings. They continued with another tightly-contested affair against St. Thomas (Minn.). With the score deadlocked at 1-1 in the sixth, Lake Forest pushed across the winning run thanks to a two-out, go-ahead two-run single by Kat Beall.
After squandering an early 5-0 lead and trailing 6-5, the Thunder quickly regained the advantage to win a thrilling 10-7 game over Eastern Connecticut State in their opener, and later in the evening upset No. 7 East Texas Baptist, 6-1. After spotting the Tigers a 1-0 lead in the first, the Thunder scored six unanswered runs to pick up the victory. Jessica Robles was stellar in the circle, allowing just two hits and striking out eight in the complete-game effort.
Seeding will be on the line tomorrow as each team will play their final pool play games at 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Following the end of those contests, the teams will be seeded and start bracket play at 4:30 p.m. The top eight programs will play at 4:30 p.m. in the first round of the gold bracket, while the second eight will start at 7 p.m. in the silver bracket. The final eight squads will take part in the bronze bracket, which will be split into two games at 4:30 p.m. and two at 7 p.m.
The tournament concludes on Sunday with the first games scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. and the last ones slated for 1 p.m.

Ruth Feldman and Alison Johnson of IRW arrived at the Trenton Elementary School early on a crisp fall September day. Walking into the school, they couldn't help but notice the positive energy – from the bulletin board about "Mindset" to the sparkling cleanliness, there was a sense of ownership and pride by all. Maine author Kimberly Ridley joined them and they set up in the library for a full day of vernal pools, lessons in observation skills and learning how to create conflict in a story about a vernal pool character.
Kim conducted workshops with students in 2nd– 4th and 6th– 8th grades on The Secret Pool, and focused on deep observation techniques.
Students picked pictures of animals out of a blue bowl, aka vernal pool, and Kim asked them to respond to three prompts:
-I notice…
-I wonder…
-It reminds me…
Kim was super animated for the younger grades and, after connecting with the middle-grade science teacher, was able to link her presentation to the current curriculum for the older grades (study of soils, invasive species and trees, and hazardous waste in the environment). She had those students write as if they were children's book authors writing for the younger kids.
Kim described the amount of research that goes into writing a book, the need to choose a style for your story (poetical, lyrical…), and a voice (attitude, sarcasm..). She showed students that an author is a regular person and can be "messy" just like anyone else. Seeing her assistant, Tilly her tiger cat, in one of the slides was a favorite moment. Many of the classes showed up with their own writing notebooks and, when asked if they liked to write, many hands shot in the air.
Upon news that they would be receiving a signed copy of the book, the fourth graders asked, "Is it a hardcover book?" (Yes, it is!)
A 2nd grader discovered that he would get a signed copy of the book and said, "Goody! Now I'll have a few books that the author has signed. Yay!"
This academic year is off to a great start!

Stand for the Lord
Daniel was a young man who stood for the Lord. The choices and decisions that he made reflected a heart that was centered on obeying God. The children have been learning about Daniel and his friends this summer in VBS and on Wednesday evenings. They have been challenged to be like Daniel, to make a stand for the Lord. I wanted to share with you how a couple of the girls have been doing just that. Their faith is evident in their actions.
Shekinah gave a testimony in the after-camp video. She was encouraged by the Lord to put Him first above all other things and activities. As soon as she got home God tested her resolve. She had a choice to make the very next day. Would she skip church to attend her soccer game (of which she is the team captain and I think it was their last of a tournament) or choose the Lord and go to church? She very quickly decided to go to church! When I heard of this situation and the stand that she made, I was so moved and encouraged by her devotion to the Lord. Her team now knows that God is most important to her. That's an awesome testimony.
While at camp Esther did a couple of things that challenged me. Her actions made me stop and evaluate my own. The first was her inclusion of the girls with which we shared a cabin. She was the first to befriend them and play games with them. She even made the bed of the girl who shared the above bunk! She showed Godly love to those around her. Then one morning, as we sat down to eat breakfast among all the chaos of campers coming and going in the dining hall, she paused to pray before her meal. Unfortunately, because of the timing of things at camp, we don't all stop to pray together before the meals. You would think that in this Christian camp environment where we are surrounded all day by God and His Word and worshipping Him, that praying before meals would be forefront on our minds. Sadly, it was not. The vision of Esther bowing her head to pray will forever be etched in my mind. Her actions taught me a lesson. Thank you, Esther!
No matter how old (or young) we are, there are always decisions and choices that we can make to show others the love that we have for Jesus. I am blessed and so grateful to know these girls. They have reminded me of what it looks like to be obedient to God and His Word and how we can make a stand for Him in this world.
