One of the most common types of sleep disorders are night terrors. A night terror is a sleep disruption that bears a faint resemblance to a nightmare, but differs in intensity and inconsolability.
Mostly affecting kids, a night terror is not technically a dream, but more like a sudden reaction of fear that happens during the transition from one sleep phase to another. A night terror usually involves a child sitting suddenly upright and screaming. The breathing and heartbeat increase and so is the person's sense of being scared.
Night terrors are usually nothing to worry about, but if your child is in the slim margin of children who are experiencing frequent and sever night terrors, then hypnosis is the solution.
The first order of business to address is whether hypnosis is applicable to children. A lot of people think children don't have the hypnotic capabilities to relax and to focus. But I've often found in my three-and-a-half decade career, that children are often the most easy to hypnotize.
Hypnosis requires a strong sense of imagination and a willingness that most children have. If you are a concerned parent and would like to talk more with me about it, you may do so by calling my office at (212) 599-3195.
With regard to hypnosis's application to night terrors, it works in the same way hypnosis works for any other mental/psychological problem. Hypnosis will look to re-associate the subconscious thought patterns that occur during night terrors with positive and relaxed emotions.

Rough Day Results in Injuries, Upsets, and Drama at 2013 Wimbledon Second Round
Nicholas Spiller
The grass courts have been slippery, and the players are tumbling about seeking firm footing at the 2013 Wimbledon tennis tournament. Like a great equalizer, the strange surface has meant top players have been falling like flies, which is paving the way for a stunning run of upsets and valiant runs by lowly ranked tennis players.
Among the fallen stars were players like Maria Sharapova, Roger Federer, Victoria Azarenka, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, John Isner, Caroline Wozniacki, Ana Ivanovic, and Marin Cilic. With so many of the game's top players among the injured and defeated, will anyone be left to compete in the final rounds of Wimbledon this year?

Though so many of the great players have already fallen and lost, the two number 1 seeds in both the ladies' and gentlemen's tournament are still in the running, but will have their second round matches tomorrow. With the path to a Wimbledon title becoming so clear is this going to be the easiest run-in ever for Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic?
I think not. Something is clearly up with the courts at Wimbledon in 2013, as a way higher amount of players have succumbed to falls and injuries than is the norm. It seems as if the 2013 Wimbledon tournament is going to be a test of strength and resolve that rewards the players best able to handle the pain. For the tennis fans, this Grand Slam tennis tournament will surely be an exciting display of tennis' best players abilities to handle weak opposition on a tricky court. As already displayed, we can toss the rankings out the window. This Wimbledon tournament is up for grabs!

Toddlers - A New Demographic?

It is totally understandable the apprehension and skepticism a parent might have about their child jumping on the mobile tech bandwagon, but this is not stopping mobile developers from targeting this audience with apps meant to educate, inspire and encourage creativity. Tablets can offer a unique experience, way beyond the age-old Etch-A-Sketch, allowing tots to use their hands, eyes and ears for interaction.
See Also: Apps In The Classroom (News)
Up until recently, children's apps were primarily centered around basic flash card and memory games. Now we have apps which introduce kids to colors, the different animals, various mathematics concepts, their ABCs, various languages, drawing and playing games. Generation Y mothers are rapidly embracing the technology for their kids according to some studies, with some 35 percent of having played with a tablet or laptop by age 2 (PC Magazine Study, Aug 2011). Typically, by the second or third time they've interacted with a mobile device, they've "mastered" it. This rapid adoption isn't without its critics of course.

Plenty of Old-Schoolers prefer their children learn to use a pen and paper first (the "original tablets" if you will), before jumping on the tech bandwagon. NYC Public School Kindergarten Teacher, Myra Dobbs says, "These children are walking with all kinds of experience operating devices, usually knowing how to use them better than the adults. Sometimes, they help me if I get lost. I do remember playing plenty educational games on classroom computers I was a child, so think we should embrace this technology if it is going to promote learning. Make no mistake, this will not replace any traditional learning methods, just allow for more options to reach the same goal".
Companies like Disney and Sesame Street are releasing Digital Books for children. Advance Corp has "Kids First Game" which allows kids to put together animals in a puzzle like fashion, and then plays back the sounds the animals make along with facts about them when the kids piece them together successfully. The marketplace is now flooded with thousands of apps geared towards toddlers and young children. While no one expects parents to throw away the bedtime stories and schools very much require reading the old-fashion way, parents now have another tool in educating their children and immersing them in technology.

Auch and its surrounding villages form the greater Auch area. This is the administrative and historic heart of the Gers and of Gascony. Its location at a crossroads has encouraged its development through the centuries.
It is believed that human activity began in the Auch area some 400,000 years ago. Before the Roman conquest, the area was occupied by the Auscii, who traded with Rome. They were taken over by the Romans in 56 AD.
During medieval times, as Christianity developed, the number of churches increased, as did the number of stopovers for religious pigrims along the Way of Saint James. In the second half of the 11th century, a number of fortified villages, or castelnaux, were built: Castelnau-Barbarens, Montégut, and Montaut-les-Créneaux are all examples. Here, the housing was grouped within walls to defend the population against the rampant uncertainties of the times.
In the 15th century, the Armagnac earldom became part of the royal lands. It was in the 18th century that the intendant D'Etigny decided to make Auch the capital of Gascony and to build it up to its present state.
Since then, Auch has continued to be enhanced and enriched, and its terrirtory is now - we hope you will agree - the best surprise of the southwest!

Yep, you're right...especially in that middle picture, Lavender.
Dargo got it. It's Rita Gam. Here she is on LIFE magazine in 1952.
And here's something that you probably didn't know. She was a bridesmaid at the wedding of her good friend, Grace Kelly. Both of them were from Pennsylvania, Grace from Phildelphia and Rita from Pittsburgh.
Now, who is this?
What TV show do we know her from?
Sheila James played Zelda, always wanting Dobie to love her remember how she'd crinkle her nose at him LOL the show was The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis

I loved Zelda and was delighted when the writers let Dobie finally wake up and see what was in front of him and propose. Then suddenly she disappeared. It wasn't until the 80's that I learned it was because the producers thought she was too "unfeminine" then learned she was gay and feared a backlash should this become known. By the time this article appeared she was a California State Legislator and it didn't matter. I am straight but find this utterly ridiculous.
While I absolutely agree with you about the unfair treatment Sheila received because of her sexual orientation back then, wouldbe, I gotta say how ironic I found it that Miles posted a picture of her right below a picture Rita Gam down there.
'Cause ya see, with you mentioning the producer's of her TV show using the cop-out of implying Miss James "wasn't feminine enough", the thought crossed my mind that you could probably take almost ANY woman's picture and place it next to the gorgeous and sultry Miss Gam, and THEY wouldn't be considered "feminine enough" in comparison!
Also remember that Tuesday Weld was the girl Dobie longed for. Now who could compete with her?

Catherine Baba was extremely proud of her badge…we all wanted one. Catherine did the costumes for Eva Ionesco's first film "My Little princess and therefore merited one.
Jerry has a badge too, I think the pink wig might be my next look for the airport control.

Local teachers, district reach salary impasse
Andrew CristanchoSierra Sun
Teachers and the local school district are once again at odds over salary increases, but this time the disagreement is being played out against the backdrop of a constricting state budget and local education funding worries.Scores of employees, many of them teachers according to the teachers union negotiator Scott Beaudry, came to show their support for the unions request of a 12 percent raise in salary during a regular meeting on March 5 of the Tahoe Truckee Unified School District board of trustees.The unions request would put members in line with other educators in basic aid districts, teachers union leader Jim Driscoll said.Right now, we are the lowest paid of the category, Driscoll said.Bargaining for pay and benefits over the last two years have proven to be contentious. Two years ago the teachers picketed outside of Truckee High School. This years round of negotiations is beginning to meet with its share of issues.The union began the negotiations with a request for 15 percent and are now asking for 12, Driscoll said. The district initially offered 2.5 percent increase and is now offering three, he said.Because neither side can agree, an impasse has been reached, said Driscoll, causing the appointment of a designated mediator.The salary negotiations with the mediator should begin in May, said the districts interim superintendent Jo Lynn Wilson.Last year, teachers agreed to a 9.5 percent increase to compensate for the high cost of living in the Tahoe-Truckee area, according to Beaudry in a previous interview.The requests for pay increases comes at a time when all state-funded departments are scrambling to deal with proposed cuts of 10 percent. Governor Arnold Schwarzeneggers budget proposal would cut $360 million from school budgets statewide this year and then seeks to suspend Proposition 98, which guarantees kindergarten through community college funding the following year, according to the districts financial services firm.Also, the state mandates that the district keep 3 percent of its budget in reserves for a fiscal crisis. The district currently has about 3.6 percent in reserve, according to the districts Assistant Superintendent of Business Earl Wammack.The district suffered a surprise hit to its budget last week when it received a letter notifying them of their obligation to pay $1.2 million for two charter schools in the district. Because of the districts basic aid designation it is obligated to assist the funding the charter schools that were approved by the Nevada County of Office of Education.The obligation was discussed at the board meeting but the financial news did not stop the teachers and union representatives from making impassioned speeches at the podium during the public comment portion of the board meeting. Although both sides have admitted that multi-year contracts are better for both sides, rather than re-negotiating every year, the sticking point seems to be the basic aid piece of the puzzle.Wammack said the amount of property tax funding is usually not known until August, making it difficult to predict how much the district will have to work with.Wilson said back in November, when negotiations were just getting off the ground, she hoped for a speedy conclusion to the negotiations, including the possibility of a multi-year contract. But now she said, considering the Governors report in January and the charter school funding obligation, an agreement of that sort may have been premature.Property taxes from basic aid districts do not contribute to a state pool of money, like most California public school districts, but instead stay within the district. Although property taxes are flattening or dropping all over the state, Tahoe Truckee is not among the hardest hit. As a result the district is looking at a 9.5 percent revenue increase for the 2007-08 budget year, Driscoll said. Driscoll said the district should share that revenue increase with teachers. State budget proposals have still not been agreed on, Driscoll pointed out to the packed house last week.The [teachers union] will fight the governor, he said.

Private Applications
Private applicants flock to Tribunal
W. Michael G. Osborne
What do hockey, chickens, and airlines have in common? They have all been the subject of recent private applications in the Competition Tribunal.
On April 11, the Tribunal refused leave to John Annable to bring a private application attacking multi-game ticket packages for Senators hockey games. Then, on May 12, it granted leave to Nadeau Ferme Agricole to bring a refusal to deal case against three New Brunswick chicken suppliers. Finally, on May 20, an association of travel agents applied for leave to bring an application to force the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to resume supplying paper tickets to travel agents.
Multi-game hockey ticket packages
Mr Annable was upset by the Ottawa Senators' practice of selling multi-game ticket packages. So he applied to the Tribunal for leave to commence a private application alleging tied selling.
Unfortunately, he provided no evidence to suggest that this alleged practice of tied selling had any impact on his business, or even to show that the elements of the Competition Act's tied selling provision were met, apart from a bare allegation of tied selling.
The Tribunal not only dismissed his application, but held that it was "presented with such disregard for the provisions of the Act that it constitutes an abuse of the Tribunal's process". Nevertheless, Mr Annable got off lightly, being ordered to pay only $300 in costs.
Hockey fans take note: the Tribunal is not the appropriate forum for expressing discontent with your team's ticket sales practices, management or performance. Best stick to call-in radio shows.
A fox in the hen-house?
Nadeau Ferme Agricole Limitée has been granted leave to bring an application under the Competition Act's refusal to deal provisions against three chicken suppliers, each of whom cut off Nadeau's supply.
Nadeau operates New Brunswick's only chicken processing plant, in St-François de Madawaska. This is Nadeau's only business. The three suppliers taken together control almost 75% of New Brunswick's chicken production.
Chicken production in Canada is controlled by a complicated federal-provincial supply management system that restricts chicken production to quota holders. Most New Brunswick chicken producers have consolidated their quota into three main producer groups, Westco, Dynaco, and Acadia. Westco owns 25% of Acadia and Dynaco may also own part of Acadia. These three groups control nearly 75% of New Brunswick's chicken production. Most of the directors of New Brunswick's chicken marketing board are affiliated with either Westco or Dynaco.
In January, 2007, Westco told Nadeau it wanted to buy the St-François plant and that it wanted a price increase. Westco decided not to sell the plant, but began paying higher prices for chicken. Then, in August 2007, Westco and Nadeau's primary competitor in Quebec and the eastern provinces, Olymel, presented Nadeau with an ultimatum: either sell the St-François plant to Westco and Olymel, or Westco and Dynaco would stop supplying Nadeau with chicken.
Nadeau entered into negotiations, but these failed. Nadeau alleges that Westco insisted that the valuation of the plant must take into account the fact that the three chicken producer groups control most of its supply, leading to a valuation of only 25% of what Nadeau believed the plant was worth.
In early 2008, all three producer groups delivered notices to Nadeau that they intended to cut Nadeau off. This will decrease Nadeau's supply by 48%, throw 340 people out of work, and threaten the viability of the plant, Nadeau says.
Justice Blanchard held that Nadeau met the test for granting leave. In particular, there was evidence that Nadeau would be directly and substantially affected by losing 48% of its supply and that the Tribunal could make an order under the Competition Act's refusal to deal provision.
Blanchard J. rejected the respondents' contention that the business of Nadeau's parent company, Maple Lodge Holdings Corporation, should be taken into account, noting that it is the applicant, Nadeau's, business that is relevant. Blanchard J. also rejected Dynaco and Acadian's contention that the volumes they supply are too small to have much effect, noting that there was evidence of ties between them and Westco that lead him to consider the collective impact of the refusals by all respondents.
Paperless air travel?
The world's airlines, through their trade association, the International Air Transport Association (IATA), have been moving toward using electronic tickets for air travel for some time. As of June 2008, IATA no longer allows travel agencies to issue paper tickets. However, airlines can continue to issue paper tickets.
Canadian Standard Travel Agent Registry (CSTAR), a travel agency trade association, is seeking leave from the Tribunal to bring a private application in a representative capacity, to force IATA to allow travel agents to continue to issue paper tickets,. CSTAR alleges that paper tickets remain necessary in some cases. This, CSTAR says, puts travel agents at a competitive disadvantage relative to airlines since airlines can still issue paper tickets. CSTAR also points out that airlines want consumers to buy their tickets directly from them, rather than from travel agents.
The Tribunal has turned down CSTAR's motion for an interim injunction. The Tribunal has yet to rule on whether CSTAR can commence a private application, and whether it can do so as a representative of travel agents.

The Chinnabee Silent Trail is the perfect hike that showcases the beauty of the Talladega National Forest. The 6 mile moderate to difficult trail was constructed in 1977 by Boy Scout Troop 29 from the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind in Talladega. Beginning at Lake Chinnabee, the trail winds beside Cheaha Creek and ends 6 miles at Caney Head atop Talladega Mountain. It is popular because of the spectacular views of flowing streams, rock outcroppings, and waterfalls.

As fortune would have it, I happened to be in Greensburg as the first storms hit. I took pictures of this meso until I started getting hit by hail. I then jumped back in the truck and drove to Dodge City. As I was sitting at the Sonic eating my dinner, I turned on my computer and saw the biggest couplet I'd ever observed. The rest is history.

Can anyone recommend a good documentary source for this particular event? I drove through there a few days ago and it's odd to notice all the new buildings all through the center of town and how it has completely rebuilt. It's not at all like all the other farming communities in the plains with all the new construction throughout, and you sort of do a double-take until you realize what happened to make all that you see today possible ... knowing how it was almost completely destroyed from one corner to the other. A monster EF5, no doubt of epic proportions, and a true testament to the will and the spirit of the people and the community.
I did find this
Watch video >

the Discovery Channel did a series on re-building Greensburg in 2008. They used stills from my 40 minute video in several shows. I followed it into town from about 3 miles away. The Weather Channel also did a documentary on it.

I have a 6 minute Greensburg Documentary mp4 file. I don't know who produced it, but it features some KSN footage, and it says it was directed by Brian Schodorf. I've had it since no later than November 2009. It's mostly post-event interviews with residents and footage of the aftermath. If anyone wants a copy, PM me.
Also, I have a couple books that I bought at the "Hand Dug Well" (or whatever it's called) gift store when I visited for the one-year anniversary. You could easily find those or similar books if you do a search, I'm sure.

A very tragic night for many folks - including us. I was still working for KAKE at the time but Randy Hicks and I as well as Lisa, and Mikey all chased together that day. We stopped and played football with some other chasers from the UK for a while at the junction of HWY 400/183 before catching up with Dick McGowan and Darrin Bruin south of Greensburg. Documented the entire lifecycle of the supercell and tornadoes from just south of Protection/Sitka area through Greensburg itself. Cutting through power lines to assist the ambulance trying to get to Greensburg and then doing search and rescue certainly took its toll. Very memorable event. I have attached some video clips - Please Note, very strong adult language Sorry about that.
Reactions: James Wilson and Robert Forry
Yes, Lanny, I remember your coverage along with Jay Prater and the KAKE crew, was outstanding that night. KSNW also had pretty good coverage, but I don't think they had any live spotters out. I knew Dick and Darrin were on the storm, but had no idea they were that close until Dick sent me his video the next day.

Quite right - if you haven't read this paper before, co-authored by Mike, then it's enough to bring you out in goosebumps, I think (as is the audio clip on the Wikipedia page of the tornado warning from NOAA All Hazards Radio) -

Reactions: Darren Addy
This audio states that the Tornado Emergency was issued at 9:37. According to Mike Umscheid (on his Facebook post of the 10 year anniversary) he remembers that it was 9:42 and that the tornado entered Greensburg at approx. 9:50 and exited at 9:54. If the recording is correct, Mike issued that Tornado Emergency 5 minutes earlier than he now remembers.

Our Greensburg Chase. (links to YouTube clips at bottom)
May 4th, 2007 started off a Moderate risk chase day and our group was pumped up knowing the atmosphere was charged and ready to pop. We left our suitcases at the Dodge City hotel we stayed in the night before because we knew an outbreak would be in the central Kansas area. As the day moved on the risk kept moving east and it drew us with it to Great Bend. There, we stopped and socialized with many other chasers in the Walmart parking lot. It was strange seeing 10 or so chasers in the same parking lot back then. As we began to move east again we heard about the tornado Reed was on in Oklahoma. It was getting late in the day and we felt that painful Moderate day bust about to happen to us. We turned and headed back towards Dodge City on 56 and began seeing two separate beasts on the horizon. One was the Scott City cell to our NW and the other to our SW would become the Greensburg Tornado cell. We always had a rule that we would not chase at night. It was a good rule and it worked. The evening of May 4th, 2007 we broke the rule and 8 of us came close to dying.
We first stopped to take lightning shots on the bend of 183 south of Kinsley. We were blown away by the amount and rate of lightning as well as the size of some of the bolts. I got a call on my flip phone from Sara Austin informing us that they were on a wedge SW south of Greensburg. Her, Paul and the gang were very excited and said the tornado was very visible. This was enticing enough for us to break the rules and drop down 183 to see it.
As we dropped south things took a bad turn (literally). We had some very, VERY good meteorologists in the vans with us. Brian McNoldy, Josh Jans, and Shane Motley were spread out in three vans. Radio discussions became confused as the wind intensity and direction kept changing. We began taking big debris strikes on the lead van as I tried to keep it on the road. Insulation began flying by my windshield in pink flashes. We were in big trouble but did not know why (until later). As we approached 54 the confusion continued as some on the group got a glimpse of a tornado to our right, which did not make any sense (until later). Our attempted escape from mega RFD seemed to last for eternity (10 minutes on video).
We finally pulled out of the danger and was called by Sara in a panic. She was at a house south of Greensburg that had people trapped and needed help. She also talked about the cows being rolled up in the fences (and dying). We saw flashing lights and stopped to notify a volunteer firefighter of the situation the Austin's came across. The volunteer turned out to be a stunned Fire Chief who had just lost his entire town. We offered to help and he accepted.
We had stopped to help folks after tornados many times before. It always turned out good and we felt good about doing it. Greensburg was much different. Many in the group worked hard through the night and did what they could in a very, very messed up situation. None of us had ever experienced devastation at the level we did in Greensburg, even the professional Firefighters. My personal story of that night is still a bit difficult to think about. There was a point of time in my trek to find rescue equipment that I stopped and said out loud to myself that I did not want to be there. At that same moment, I heard many people screaming for help. I remember the feeling of being overwhelmed and helpless. It was crushing. It bothered me for years.
An Organized response took hours due to the remote location of Greensburg. The first wave of volunteers all had a family members or friends they needed to go look for so their organized response quickly became unorganized. Kinsley and Pratt Firefighters arrived and began searching through the massive debris field that used to be Greensburg. It is hard to describe trying to crawl through debris and never knowing if you are on a street, in a yard, or in a house. It took hours for the first big city professional rescuers to arrive and assist. Dodge City sent a couple firefighters on a mini rescue and we worked together through the night. Wichita firefighters arrived in the morning. I called my contacts in Texas when I finally got cell service and I asked for them to mobilize the nearest USAR team. I predicted 100 lives lost in the beginning.
We saw many people working their butts off to help neighbors and family members, but we also saw complete chaos. We witnessed greed in folks trying to capture pictures during the people of Greensburg's worst times. We saw things many of us have never talked about and most likely never will.
The absolute truth is that while we gave it everything we had, there was no real rescuing of people or heroism, we tried our best and the sheer magnitude of the disaster was overwhelming.
This is the reality of a big destructive tornado. Many chasers find themselves in these situations if they chase long enough. It is not fun. There is NO Glory. If you find yourself in one of these situations and are there to take pictures you better think about it and put your camera down. Think about what it would be like for your community to be destroyed and your family trapped or injured and you see someone only wanting to take pictures. I cannot even imagine.
Hats off to those who were there and did your best to try and help. I know there were a lot of you there.
The reason we could not escape the RFD was because it was actually the tornado itself occluding and turning left right behind us. Not only did it nearly hit us on 183, but also 54 after we tried to escape west.

Just read your account, Randy. Thanks for sharing it.
I'd like to echo Bob and thank you for your first person account, and also for your selfless service to the people of Greenburg that terrible night. I'm glad that the number of fatalities, though significant, was only a small fraction of your initial estimate.
This is probably not the forum for it, but since you brought it up, I'd like to address the issue of photojournalism and ethics in this matter. While stormchasers are not, for the most part, professional photojournalists - when there are no "proper" photojournalists present, anyone who gets the photo or video (particularly in a remote location) can be, in effect, pressed into such service. "Pictures" are what often move people to action and/or to care about a specific issue (in this case, for example, one might be making a case for proper funding for the NWS and the warning service they provide, for local EMTs and Fire Departments, etc.).
One famous example, discussed in photojournalism ethics classes is this one: http://rarehistoricalphotos.com/mother-daughter-falling-fire-escape-1975/ . You may note to what that shocking "picture" (and the news coverage that it drew public attention to) eventually led:
"The picture also prompted officials in Boston to rewrite its laws regarding fire escape safety. Fire safety groups around the country used the photo to promote similar efforts in other cities."
Another article examines this issue: Are photojournalists obligated to help in rescues?
Photojournalism also provides something that society needs, it just isn't always as universally recognized. That being said, there isn't any reason that a person might not be able to do both, if circumstances allow (document AND assist rescuers). Also not to be ignored is that photojournalists can also suffer from PTSD after an incident.
I can certainly understand how one might be irked to see someone with a camera while they were struggling to carry out search & rescue procedures, particularly when they needed more help. But, IMHO, we should be careful not to condemn an entire field, or encourage scorn to be thrown at people who happen to be documenting evidence in the aftermath of a disaster.
This is kind of tangential to what Darren said.
I had been chasing for 12 years before I witnessed my first killer tornado. I had a few good vids posted on YouTube that had been there for years that never attracted any media attention, but when I posted the video of the killer tornado within hours I received an email from a network which wanted to show my video on their morning show. I was the only chaser to have posted a video of that tornado on the internet.
Well, that immediately angered me. No interest in my other vids, but someone dies and then they're suddenly all over it. I told them no.
A few months went by and I was still thinking about it. I finally realized that tornadoes that kill are news. (Most) others just aren't. That's just the way it is, and that's not going to change anytime soon.

The Tragic Death of Jon-Eric Hexum
Jon-Eric Hexum was an actor/model who had an all too short career that came to an abrupt end due to an accidental death. Hexum was born in my home state of New Jersey and rose to prominence at a very young age. Scoring his first acting role just two short years after graduating college.
That role will be familiar to listeners of the Retroist Podcast. He played the lead role of Phineas Bogg in the NBC series Voyagers!. Unfortunately this amazing show only lasted one season. Aired during the 1982–83 television season, it would go on to have a cult following.
Retroist Voyagers Podcast
While the show didn't last long, it did make Hexum a star. He earned $10,000 a week playing Bogg and his good looks and acting skills were attracting a lot of attention. So it is no surprise that he quickly landed a new role on the CBS network series, Cover Up. It was on this show, which ran from September 22, 1984, to April 6, 1985, that Hexum would have a tragic accident that would claim his life.
While taking a break from filming, Hexum was playing around with a prop weapon which was loaded with blanks, during some downtime on set. He assumed it was harmless and placed the gun to his head and pulled the trigger. Sadly, the weapon was far from harmless. The gunpowder in the gun caused damage to his skull and fragments of it went into his brain.
He was rushed to the hospital, but it was too late. Hexum would never recover.
The show wouldn't last long either. They would remove his character from the show and try to make it work, but Hexum was a big part of the show's appeal. So it was quickly canceled. In the episode where his character died, their is a nice dedication to Hexum from show creator Glen Larson.
When a star dies, its light continues to shine
across the universe for millenniums.
John-Eric Hexum died in October of this year … but the lives he touched will continue to be brightened by his light
… forever … and ever.
Hexum might have died, but he was an organ donor and he helped a lot of people even after passing.
With his mother's permission, his body was flown to San Francisco on life support, where his heart was transplanted into a 36-year-old Las Vegas man at California Pacific Medical Center. Hexum's kidneys and corneas were also donated: One cornea went to a 66-year-old man, the other to a young girl. One of the kidney recipients was a critically ill five-year-old boy, and the other was a 43-year-old grandmother of three who had waited eight years for a kidney. Skin that was donated was used to treat a 3½-year-old boy with third degree burns.
A grand gesture and a nice way to add something positive to a terrible loss.
It is hard to know where Hexum's career would have gone. Cover Up was a fun show. Playful and enjoyable in the same vein of Magnum PI. Perhaps we would have had 5 season of this fun show before he went onto a motion picture career. He had the talents and the looks, but like most tragedies, we are all just left with a big "What if."
If you are unfamiliar with the TV show Cover Up, here is the full two part pilot of the series posted online.

Guided Rock Climbing in the New York Area.
The Shawangunks comprise the most popular and extensive rock climbing in the eastern United States. Located 1.5 hours from New York City in the Catskill mountains outside the town of New Paltz. The cliffs of the "gunks" have been reserved for climbing and many other public uses through the generosity of the Smiley family, whose Mohonk Mountain House Retreat Hotel was founded in 1869.
With the rich and complex history of the area it is clear that since the late 19th century people have sought out this area and its cliffs for a variety of recreational activities. Rock climbers originally from Europe, who moved to the US, first began to explore these cliffs in the mid-1930's.
The particular geology of the cliffs and ease of access has contributed to the development of the "Gunks" as a major climbing center.
In addition to climbing, the area lends itself to several other outdoor activities including cross-country skiing and mountain biking on an extensive network of "carriage roads". The area is well-known as a major fly-way for migrating hawks and other birds. Hiking the backcountry of the "Gunks" will often take you to isolated spots where you will not encounter another party. That's fairly unusual less than 100 miles from New York City.
For beginner climbers the climbing here is unrivaled. For the expert the gunks comprise many classic test pieces and these beautiful cliffs are a great location to learn the art of traditional climbing and gear placements. Mountain Skills Rock Guides can set you up with a guide to take you up fun routes and teach you many techniques, tips and tricks along the way.
Check out the new Camping at the Mohonk Preserve
Call or e-mail to book your next trip to the "Gunks".
*John Maier is a professional photographer/climber. If you would like to hire him to join you, your family, or group to take photos on your rock climbing adventures in the Gunks, please let us know.

The £180 million extension to intu Watford that is set to make the town one of the best places to shop in the UK will open in October.
Representatives from intu and contractor Laing O'Rourke gathered to mark the progress of the major shopping centre extension which will expand intu Watford's retail and leisure offer by 400,000 sq ft and place Watford alongside Edinburgh and Bristol in CACI's top 20 national retail destinations.
A ceremonial piece of concrete was laid on the roof of the extension at the topping out ceremony, an age-old tradition celebrated by builders to mark a development's highest point being reached.
intu has signed up a 9 screen IMAX Cineworld cinema and 113,000 sq. ft. Debenhams to anchor the new extension. There will also be a Hollywood Bowl, 11 new restaurants and 13 more stores.
We're bringing together the best retail and leisure brands for intu Watford's affluent customer base."
So far more than 7,000 pieces of steel, equivalent to 326 double decker buses, have been used during the 129 week programme, which began in March 2016. And 13,500m cubic metres of concrete has been laid, equating to roughly the volume of five Olympic sized swimming pools.
At a total of 1.4 million sq ft, intu Watford will become one of the UK's largest in-town shopping centres once the work is complete. The town is already one of the UK's largest regional office headquarters, with a workplace population of 61,000, and a popular tourist destination for visitors of the nearby Warner Bros Studio Tour.

New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson retires from international cricket, signs up with MLC in USA
Corey Anderson. (Source: Twitter)
All-rounder Corey Anderson has called it a day from New Zealand cricket and has a accepted the three-year contract with the upcoming Major League Cricket T20 in the USA.
Confirming the development to Cricbuzz, Anderson said, "It's been a huge honor and extremely proud to represent New Zealand. I would have loved to have achieved and played more but just is what it is sometimes, and different opportunities arise and send you in a direction you never thought would be a possibility. Very appreciative for everything that NZC has done for me."
"It hasn't been an easy decision. I asked myself several questions. What do I want to do now or what do I want to achieve in the next two years, five years, 10 years? As you get older you think about life a little bit more broadly as well. And obviously, my fiance, Mary Margaret, who's born and raised in America, she's had a massive part to play in that because she's sacrificed so much for me, by moving to New Zealand, getting immersed in a different culture there and, and supporting me through a lot of tough times with injuries and time out of cricket. So, when the opportunity arose, we thought that living in America is the best thing, not only for my cricket, but it's, it's the best thing for both of us in general as well," Anderson added.
"I went out there for a few minutes but decided to stay back to watch the entire game. It turned out to be a super over [game]!" said Anderson.

TOURIST OCCUPANCY RATES FOR JULY UP 3% ON 2013
The forecast for August expects 95% for apartments and 80% for hotels
Tourist occupancy rates during July were slightly up against the same month in 2013, reports the Department of Tourism. Councillor Antonio Miragall, who heads up the department, said that the figures confirmed a sustained growth in the sector in the municipality. The month closed the month with a 76.33% recorded occupancy of registered accomodation, slightly up on 2013 which saw a 73% rate. In the campsites, a figure of 58.6% was recorded (2013: 57.6%) and holiday rentals also increased from 77% in July 2013 to 80% this year.
Forecasts for August show an expectation of 80.72% of hotel rooms to be occupied, although late reservation tends to increase the rate as last summer demonstrated when the occupancy rate reached 87%. With regards to registered holiday rentals, the principal available accomodation in Jávea, reservations have already reached 95% but if the same pattern is repeated as last year, the rate could reach 100% again. The campsites have already seen reservations for August reach almost 90%, just over ten points higher than the figure for last year.
A recent study by the 'Instituto de Estudios Turísticos (IET)' showed that the rise in foreign tourism in the Comunidad Valenciana for the first half of 2014 has risen some 5.6% on the previous year with more than 2.6 million foreign tourists visiting the region. German and Belgian tourists were the biggest increase with an annual rise of 19.7% and 20.3% respectively whilst the visitors from United Kingdom increased 1.7% to 978,047. Russian visitors rose by 6.8% compared the same period in 2013 whilst those from the Nordic countries increased by 7.4% Alicante-Elche airport saw an increase in traffic of 8.8% for the first half of the year. It is forecast than more than 3 million foreign tourists will visit the region during the period of June to September, an projected increase of around 4%.

Findings show the wireless industry has a larger impact on the U.S. economy than many realize, contributing US$475 billion in GDP.
Modernizing rules around 5G small cells could unlock additional $100 billion in economic growth over the next three years.
While the wireless industry will drive a significant portion of the $475B GDP contribution, indirect activity from adjacent industries such as the semiconductor industry will drive the bulk of the total figure—accounting for 44 percent, or $207B. Cooperative partnerships and ecosystems will be key to overall success.
The potential for future contribution by the wireless industry is even more significant with the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G. Accenture's research demonstrates that the most impactful IoT use cases will depend on key 5G network attributes.
IoT, which has already driven substantial economic impact through the proliferation of connected devices, is likely to be the next significant area of value generation. Of the 29 billion connected devices estimated by 2022, 18 billion are predicted to be IoT related. A joint World Economic Forum and Accenture report projects that Industrial IoT (IIoT) will add $14 trillion to global economic value by 2030.
The sheer breadth and depth of IIoT use cases, from predictive maintenance to intelligent products, is what makes this opportunity noteworthy. Wireless carriers will play a crucial role in unlocking the full potential of IoT, as they enable the connectivity of sensors, devices, data centers and people.
Subscribers continue to grow. The U.S. currently has 396M+ active wireless devices, a number we expect to continue to grow.
Data volume keeps expanding. Traffic per subscriber in North America is set to grow from the current 7GB per month per active smartphone to 22GB in 2022.
The U.S. is seeing an explosion in the number of connected devices. New types of devices such as fitness trackers and smart home gadgets are helping drive the increase, with 180M+ devices currently in use.
Given that 5G connectivity will require a system of wireless infrastructure significantly denser than that required by 4G, modernization of infrastructure guidelines will be key to decreasing the time required for a 5G network rollout. Recognizing that 300,000 small cells need to be deployed in the next three to four years—roughly double the number of macro towers built over the past 30 years—current approval processes pose a challenge.
With exponential growth in wireless data, and increasing demand for higher throughput and bandwidth across wireless (radio) access, the availability of sufficient spectrum to meet these demands is a real concern. Additional spectrum is needed for carriers to realize the transformative benefits that 5G offers.
Modernization of infrastructure guidelines and spectrum availability are key to accelerating economic growth from the industry and could unleash an additional $100 billion in economic impact over the next three years according to our analysis.
America's wireless industry is not only a significant contributor to the economy today, but it continues to advance other industries, even triggering the development of completely new, innovative sectors and business models.
The economic benefits can be realized when the private and public sectors come together to make the promise of future gains from 5G a reality.
Providing consulting and technology services to help telecommunications operators accelerate the deployment of next generation networks, launch digital services and optimize network operations.


Are you planning a wireless network where obstructions such as trees or buildings are in your line of sight path?
NLOS or Non-Line of Sight wi-fi applications require lower frequency radio waves to penetrate obstructions found along the way.
Of the unlicensed ISM frequencies used in the United States, 900 MHz is the perfect choice for NLOS wireless networking.
If your application involves NLOS conditions and you require a point to point RF Ethernet bridge, 900MHz is the solution for you.
GNS Wireless carries a wide range of 900 MHz wireless products. Contact us today for more information.


The HAWG has every bell and whistle out there in terms of organisers, fleece-lined pockets and accessory straps. But every bit is well thought out and well placed, easily accessed and top quality. The reservoir compartment is quick to get to, although a quick release for the hose would have been a welcome addition for cafe fill-ups without having to rethread the hose.
It should last many a long ride, and with a lifetime warranty on the excellent anti-bacterial treated reservoir, you can't go wrong.

Listen now to my podcast about how to adapt to today's changing workforce!
Today, there are 6 million jobs in the U.S. going unfilled, 1 million of then in IT. Demand is high but finding qualified people is a real challenge for employers. Why? And what can businesses do to attract and retain talented workers? Good news! Real solutions are out there, which I discuss in today's episode of my Ask Andi series—short 15 minute podcasts every month. Listen in!
So why are so many jobs vacant these days, despite nationwide efforts to fill them? Many HR professionals will say that applicants lack experience and jobs are changing faster than people can adapt. But if you dig a little deeper, what you'll find is that an entire disruption of the employer-employee relationship is taking place, kicked off by the 2008 Great Recession when people were laid off by the millions. In the years since, these workers discovered that they didn't have to return to their hamster-wheel jobs where large corporations called the shots. They could become freelancers and dictate their own destiny!
And that's what has happened. Today, the power has shifted from the employer to the employee, who decide where, how, when and how much they want to work. Companies are no longer in control, which is a major shift in the entire business model.
Does this ring a bell? Are you too having trouble hiring and retaining great workers? Share with me your stories, comments and questions, please. I'd love to hear them. Send them along to info@simonassociates.net.

Summary: I explain the relationship between Feather and Apache Arrow in more technical detail.
I was recently asked to explain the difference between Apache Arrow (providing a standard in-memory columnar memory representation) and Feather (a file format using Apache Arrow).
Before going deeper into Feather and Arrow, let's look at how memory representations (these are also probably more commonly called data structures) can lead to file formats.
This array_t is an in-memory data structure. I haven't told you how to put it in a file yet.
How do you lay out the bytes contained in the array_t structs in the file?
How to you encode the metadata (a description that allows code to reconstruct my_data)?
Where do you put the metadata in the file?
How do you verify that you have a valid file?
What happens when the metadata needs to evolve (file versioning)?
So you have a bunch of work to do if you want to go from data structures to a full blown file format.
The ARRAY blobs are data that originated from in-memory Arrow data structures. Here is what the data structure representing a single primitive array looks like. There's some C++ memory ownership stuff you can ignore for this blog post.
When it comes down to it, most of the effort of creating Feather was in defining a metadata specification that works for both Python and R, and implementing code for reading and writing the metadata from in-memory data structures. Copying bytes into R or Python in-memory arrays is one of the simplest parts.

As a commercial real estate property owner, you need customized contracts that protect your interests. We work with companies who own or manage commercial real estate properties in drafting commercial real estate leases, eviction protocols, and commercial purchase agreements.
We have helped many clients with all types of commercial real estate transactions. From industrial-use warehouses to retail spaces to multi-use buildings to executive offices, we have done the legal work for every type of transaction. We can draft any legal documents you need to buy, sell or lease your commercial space.
We work with all types of businesses representing both tenants and owners so we can give you solid legal counsel as well as practical knowledge regarding your commercial real estate transaction. Our experience in commercial real estate law will be a valuable asset to your business because not only can we help you decrease your potential liability, but we can also help you mitigate adverse circumstances before they happen. Contact us to discuss your commercial real estate legal needs.
If you have one or several investment properties, it is essential to form the correct business entity to limit your personal liability as well as decrease your tax burden. For example, if you are buying a property for the purpose of renting it, then the business entity you need would most likely be very different than the entity you need if you are fixing and flipping properties. There are many things to consider when deciding which entity to form and we can help you choose the most appropriate business entity for your needs.
Business entities, when structured properly, can also insulate each property from the potential liabilities of other properties. If you now own, or plan to own multiple properties, then we can help you set up and form the correct entity for each investment property to ensure you are well protected.
We understand the challenges that investors face such because we have over 15 years of real estate investing experience. We can also guide you through the legal aspects of managing rehab projects and property management.
Any lawyer can write a good lease agreement; but our deep knowledge of tenant relations and property management gives use the ability to offer not just legal advice, but also the practical advice to make you more successful in your day-to-day commercial property operations. Contact us to discuss your commercial real estate legal needs.

Winter can often be associated with cold, dark days and a gloomy atmosphere that can have a negative impact on your mood.
So perhaps you should turn to your interiors to brighten up your days, rather than what's outside your window. Decorating your home using certain colours, styles and furniture can really make a difference in terms of your mood.
Wayfair's resident style advisor, Nadia McCowan Hill, shares her top decorating tips to help beat the winter blues.
'Adding a hot hue within a neutral setting is one of the easiest ways to inject warmth and energy into a space, so it's an excellent place to start if you're looking to combat the blues in the winter months,' Nadia advises.
She suggests focusing on just a couple of uplifting colours to sprinkle throughout your home space, whether that be hot pink, zesty lime or something even brighter. It's best not to use more than three tones in one room though or the look can lose its impact.
One good way to lift the mood in a room is to include mirrors, lamps and metallic pieces. Items that bounce light are instant mood lifters.
'Metallic accents, lamps and mirrors will work double duty, bringing a gleaming glimmer and a flash of colour at the same time,' Nadia says.
Cushions, rugs, throws and bedding are great for making your home feel cosy and warm during the winter months. Not only do they look great, but they are affordable and comfortable too. Add some bright and bold throw pillows to your sofa, or buy a bright new bedspread to liven things up.
Wall art is another great way to add character to a space and bring energy to the room. Either buy some bright art pieces for your walls, make it yourself or pin up your kids' paintings. This will bring a feel-good factor to your interiors as the days get darker.
If you want to add energy and warmth to your space but are on a tight budget, then look to paint to brighten the interior mood. Paint your home in some fresh, warm shades to completely transform the space. A warm tone that won't feel cold in a low light is perfect. You could try a dusky millennial pink or a muted terracotta for a warming lift.
You can emphasise this look by adding vases of flowers throughout your home. This provides instant cheer and brings nature to you, even when it is too cold to go outside.


Today is my dear friend Cari's birthday. In honor of Cari, my girl's have declared it "Pink Day" where they are wearing all pink, and painting their toenails hot pink. We will also be making some brownies to celebrate Cari's love of chocolate. We miss you, Cari.
I know we hear a lot about breast cancer awareness in October, but here on Cari's birthday, I would like to encourage you to remember those who are touched by cancer of all kinds and the struggles they and their families face beyond the health issues. Please consider the Angel Foundation as a place to share your resources to help families faced with cancer. Since 2001, Angel Foundation has provided financial assistance for adult cancer patients to meet critical non-medical needs, as well as education and support programs to families in the Twin Cities metro area who have a parent with cancer.

1 egg mixed well with 1 tablespoon of milk substitute.
Put dried fruit into a bowl. Cover fruit with warm water, just to cover. Allow to soak until needed in recipe. Optionally, you can soak the fruit in orange juice for a different flavor. Sprinkle the gelatin onto the 3 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Set aside until gelatin has absorbed all the water. Mix gelatin into the warm milk substitute. Add yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar with the warm milk substitute and set aside.
Mix together the bean flour blend, brown sugar, xanthan gum, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, and salt in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer. Blend well. Add gelatin mixture, yeast mixture, eggs, margarine, and vinegar. Mix on low until blended, then on high for 3 minutes. Drain fruit and blot dry. Stir dried fruit and lemon zest into dough.
Using very wet or oiled hands, divide mix into 24 smooth balls of dough (about 3 Tablespoons dough per ball). Place dough balls evenly spaced onto a baking sheet lined with Silpat or parchment paper. Cover with oiled plastic wrap and allow to raise for about 45 min to an hour until almost doubled in size. Gently brush buns with egg wash. With oiled scissors, snip a cross shape 1/4″ deep into each bun.
**Bake buns in a preheated 375 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Allow buns to cool on a cooling rack. Mix icing ingredients together until smooth. Place in small zip closure bag. Snip a small corner of the bag to let icing out. Decorate top of buns by making a cross shape in the snipped indents with the icing mixture on top of buns.
To freeze after baking: When icing is set, wrap buns well and freeze.
To freeze before baking: Make recipe up to shaping dough into buns, but before they rise. Place baking pan into the coldest part of the freezer. Allow to freeze solid. Store dough well wrapped until ready to use. When ready to bake, place frozen buns onto silpat or parchment lined pan, cover with oiled plastic wrap and allow to thaw/raise in refrigerator overnight. Remove pan from refrigerator 1/2 hour before baking. Brush with egg wash, snip cross shape, bake, etc as directed.
*I have also used gf millet flour in place of the garfava in this recipe.
**Note: When baking breads, I always place another baking pan on the bottom-most rack and add a couple of handfuls of ice cubes to the pan. I put the bread to be baked on the center rack in the oven, close the oven door, and bake as directed. This creates a steam oven for your gluten free bread and greatly improves the moisture and crust of the final product.

What a great way to honor Cari on her birthday- especially the chocolate!

Madison Central Baseball
Jan.-February
Whitaker Bank Challenge
# 7 Indians rally past Franklin County
The Indians found themselves in a very tough situation in the final innings of Monday's first-round showdown with
# 16 Franklin County at the 11th Region Tournament.
Trailing by two runs, #7 Madison Central had just six outs left to put together a late comeback against one of the better pitchers in the region. "We stayed with the plan," Central coach Steve Roof said. "This team believes. They love the challenge and I think this team expected (to rally). Even in the seventh inning, we expected to get those runs across." The Indians got one run in the sixth, then used four-straight singles to score a pair of runs in the seventh and claim an improbable 3-2 win over the Flyers at Franklin County High School. Catcher Isaac Smith delivered the game-winning hit — a single to right — which scored senior Jon McQuarter. With the win, Central advances to the 11th Region Tournament semifinals to face Lexington Christian Academy (8 p.m. today). "It's been a while," McQuarter said of Central's first region tournament victory since 2007. "I didn't want it to end. I wanted to keep playing." The Indians had just five hits through the first five innings against Franklin County ace Sean Thompson. The Flyers scored twice in the third inning off Central starter Logan Smith and were able to hold on to that lead by using a couple of good defensive plays to kill a pair of would-be rallies. In the sixth, Cole Metcalfe walked and after a single by Austin Hunt, he scored on a error. "It took us a while to adjust to the speed," Roof said of Thompson, a hard-throwing right-hander. "But, I loved our approach. We took it to the opposite field and I thought we had good at-bats the entire game. There were just a lot of balls hit right at guys." In the seventh inning, the bottom of the Central lineup started the winning rally. Alex Dapkus doubled to left field, then McQuarter delivered a game-tying single. "The coaches prepared us pretty well by throwing fast batting practice," McQuarter said. "We were ready." Senior Zach Harmon followed with a single and then Isaac Smith came up with the game-winning hit. "He was pitching (on the outside corner) all game. So, that's where I was trying to go all game," said Isaac Smith, who had flown out to right field in his other three at-bats against Thompson. "I finally got one down." Logan Smith allowed eight hits in six innings and walked just one while striking out two. "He threw a lot of strikes," Roof said of Logan Smith. "He did his job." Harmon pitched the seventh, retiring all three batters he faced, including two strikeouts. Central faced Lexington Christian Academy once during the regular season, falling 5-4 on May 13 in Lexington. Nathan Hutchinson, Richmond Register
