Woodley ready to take a big step
Latrobe, Pa - Linebacker LaMarr Woodley came into training camp last year as a rookie learning a new position and an entire new defense.
This year it's a totally different story as he comes in as the heir apparent to Clark Haggans at outside linebacker.
"This year I know what to expect going to training camp," said Woodley. "The first year you come in kind of lost. This year I am prepared. I have a year under my belt and more knowledge of the game."
Woodley played defensive end at Michigan but the Steelers moved him to outside linebacker after he was drafted. There was plenty to learn and it wouldn't come overnight.
"All of the language was different and I wasn't rushing every play," said Woodley. "I had to learn all of the different pass drops and covering receivers, tight ends and running backs. Playing defensive end I didn't have to do all of that. Now I am more comfortable with that."
And with that comfort come high expectations from the coaches and those he is putting on himself.
"Clark was a good player, but I am a good player as well," said Woodley. "I have to go in there and play the best that I know I can play. I can't be anybody else but me.
"I set high expectations for myself all of the time. Having others have them for me isn't a bad thing."
Woodley, who would like to improve in coverage, knows that will come with experience on the field, something he is looking forward to getting
"Since the end of the season I have been studying the playbook to make sure I come in here and cut back on some of the mistakes," said Woodley. "You always make mistakes, but I want to cut back.
"I know more of the playbook now. I got the chance to learn about the guys on the team. Everything just went up to another level."

Swiffer star Jerry Bell is starting a ceremony for local talent.
One year ago, local actor, producer and Swiffer pitchman Jerry Bell began monthly meet- 'n'-greets for Portland filmmakers, talent and techs. Thanks to the sold-out events' habitués, this Thursday is Portland's first annual, red-carpet Indie Short Film Awards.
As Bell's networking events won popularity, they morphed into screening nights for attendees' own new works. While watching the mélange of commercials, music videos, featurettes, webisodes and documentaries, Bell was struck by how many high-quality projects flew beneath the cultural radar.
"Toward the end of the ninth or 10th month, I came to see that a lot of people in the industry weren't getting recognition. We have the Grimm TV show, we have Portlandia," Bell says, "but 85 percent of the community are indie filmmakers who haven't had an opportunity to be a part of that."
So this ceremony is his means of focusing attention where it's deserved. "They make their films, send them off to festivals, and most of those are out-of-state," Bell says.
The 22 awards include all the traditional categories, alongside more distinct honors like community service and—perhaps uniquely—Best Production Assistant. Best Short Film is the equivalent of Best Picture at the Oscars, except the nominees aren't overwhelmingly dramas.
Best Director nominee Mike Prosser follows the madcap antics of naked canine Todd Robinson in Stray. Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress hopefuls Mia Allen and Kelsey Tucker wring romantic comedy from a nanny interview in No, Oui. In Dread Drunk, the fifth installment of Chris Wilson's sloshed parody franchise, Wilson and Tim Feeney (Best Writing nominees) booze their way through writing an alien invasion screenplay later enacted by similarly impaired actors.
"Portland tends to lean toward the quirky comedies," Bell says. "I think that's a cultural thing."
Beyond the actual trophies, winners receive benefits in their area of expertise. Best Costume wins free outfits from local costume designers; Best Cinematographer, free equipment rentals; actors, pro headshot packages.
Screening in a packed Bossanova Ballroom may prove the most meaningful reward. Whether the projects are niche labors of love or already earning widespread acclaim (like the Secret Garden-as-teen- vlog The Misselthwaite Archives), the ceremony offers creators a rare public showcase.
For some, this is closure. Filmmaker Erich Demerath was invited to participate in New Amsterdam Vodka's 2015 national competition, but had his Mississippi Studios documentary, Mississippi Rising, disqualified at the last moment due to murky technicalities. Portland's Indie Short Film Awards are somewhat humbler, but after the frustrations of last year, Demerath says, "just to have the chance to win something is really satisfying."
see it: The Portland Indie Short Film Awards are at Bossanova Ballroom, 722 E Burnside St., 7 pm Thursday, Feb. 25. Sold out.

This Handmaid's Tale Villain Is Returning
Story from TV Shows
What Does The Return Of This Handmaid's Tale Villain Mean For The Series?
Anna Millard
Photo: George Kraychyk/Hulu.
The Handmaid's Tale left us with a lot of questions after the twist finale of season 2. But, one eclectic villain's auspicious return might help us get some answers to our burning questions.
Bradley Whitford will be reprising his role of Commander Lawrence as a series regular for season 3, according to Deadline. Lawrence was introduced in season 2 as a founding architect of Gilead, credited with crafting Gilead's economy along with the Colonies. Lawrence made a splash in season 2 by helping Emily (Alexis Bledel) escape Gilead through an underground railroad run by the resistance, revealing that he's one of the most powerful figures working to take down the society he created.
What does Commander Lawrence's return mean for the show? There are two possibilities. First, this could be a path to sharing a more in-depth backstory about Gilead's creation. Despite being presented as a pivotal figure for the colonies in season 2, Lawrence is still shrouded in mystery. By filling out his backstory and answering the critical questions of how Lawrence got involved and where things went wrong for him, the specifics about Gilead's rise from conservative dogma to a ruling fascist regime could be revealed.
Second, the resistance is going to get real. Viewers have found out more and more about Gilead's rebels throughout the past two seasons, following June's (Elisabeth Moss) own discoveries. In season 1, it was a whisper network of small but mighty rebellions, like Handmaids who broke the law to write letters. Then in season 2, a few lone rebels began taking real action against Gilead, such as the Red Center bombing. But the strength of the underground resistance isn't clear until the season finale, when a plan to help June escape reveals that a network of Marthas and Handmaids are capable of strategic organisation and that at least one man is helping take down Gilead from the inside — Lawrence.
June surprised everyone by choosing to stay in Gilead, presumably so she can be a force in the resistance and help take down the regime once and for all. His Handmaid Emily is gone, so Lawrence has an opening in his house for one. June is still in Gilead, and it's unclear what will happen to her next, but she certainly won't be going back to live with the Waterfords. Will Lawrence take June in so they can work to further the resistance together? Their pairing makes sense — it provides an outlet for the Gilead origin story and keeps June safe in a perilous situation.
The Handmaid's Tale season 3 airs on Channel 4 in 2019.

I was born in Welland, but really only lived there for a couple of years when I was in my 20s. It's the city that first gave me a start to my writing career, and for that I'll always have a special fondness for it. It's also where I met Commander Tom of Rocketship 7 fame, during an appearance he made at the Seaway Plaza.
Moving back to the Niagara area has given me a chance to reacquaint myself with the city, and I'm pleased with how well it's doing, considering the economic blows of recent years.

            log.LogInformation($"Started orchestration with ID = '{instanceId}'.");

        }

Does enabling the prefetch count under extensions in host.json cause messages to be prefetched in the Service Bus Trigger?
host.json:

    "extensions": {
        "serviceBus": {

        }
    }
}

A:
Does enabling the prefetch count under extensions in host.json cause messages to be prefetched in the Service Bus Trigger?

Prefetch count affects the maximum number of messages prefetched by the underlying MessageReceiver used by Azure Functions SDK. You will have to ensure that prefetchCount is configured properly with the value defined for maxConcurrentCalls to ensure not too many messages are pre-fetched and locks are lost while waiting for processing.

Increased intake of dietary carbohydrate that is fermented in the colon by the microbiota has been reported to decrease body weight, although the mechanism remains unclear. Here we use in vivo11C-acetate and PET-CT scanning to show that colonic acetate crosses the blood–brain barrier and is taken up by the brain. Intraperitoneal acetate results in appetite suppression and hypothalamic neuronal activation patterning. We also show that acetate administration is associated with activation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and changes in the expression profiles of regulatory neuropeptides that favour appetite suppression. Furthermore, we demonstrate through 13C high-resolution magic-angle-spinning that 13C acetate from fermentation of 13C-labelled carbohydrate in the colon increases hypothalamic 13C acetate above baseline levels. Hypothalamic 13C acetate regionally increases the 13C labelling of the glutamate–glutamine and GABA neuroglial cycles, with hypothalamic 13C lactate reaching higher levels than the 'remaining brain'. These observations suggest that acetate has a direct role in central appetite regulation.

This video was made from images across a span of a number of months, I think Nov – Mar. This was my first attempt to make a time lapse over more than one day. It started out on battery power, then located an AC power adapter for my camera which allowed this to function without recharging and replacing the batteries daily.
I had my issues in this process. Not ideal location, too many images (setting on the intervalometer), not using manual focus, and the sad fact that the end would be of flowers dying.
Live, learn, adapt, overcome, and do not repeat.
If I had to use one word to sum that up: Enchanting.
Beautiful brother – that was very enjoyable and appreciate you sharing. Peace!

The battiest of them all
Urban areas across the U.S. and Canada are often dominated by big brown bats, Eptesicus fuscus. These bats represent one of the very few US/Canada species with a distribution that spans the entire US. They are everywhere!
Big brown bat, photo by Paul Cryan.
The "big brown bat" name really does not capture how amazing this commensal bat can be. It does truthfully reflect one thing though: the bats are indeed bigger than most of the other hibernating North American bats of the ultra-diverse bat family Vespertilionidae, with over 400 species [1]!
In the spring and early summer, the females of the species come out of the wild to form temporary maternity colonies for giving birth to the young. Historically, maternity colonies were probably in tree cavities. In modern, human-dominated landscapes, however, many maternity colonies are in buildings and residential properties.
In the winter, the bats go into hibernation. Importantly, the big brown bat hibernates in smaller groups, and in colder and drier conditions than many of the other North American bats. This behavior likely contributes to their ability to survive the white-nose syndrome, a disease that has been decimating other hibernating bats on the continent. (By contrast, read about the little brown bat Myotis lucifugus and its struggle with the white-nose in one of our previous blog post.)
As an insectivore, big brown bats play a crucial role in maintaining bug populations and are an agriculturally valuable species. These bats are often sought out by corn farmers, as they consume cucumber beetles that are capable of destroying an entire season's crop [2]. Farmers can build bat boxes stable place to roost, encouraging these bats to move in and provide their services. Instructions on how to construct your own bat box can be found on the National Wildlife Federation's website.
Because they are so willing to share buildings with us, big brown bats have historically been a species that scientists study a lot. For example, one of the closest looks yet into the details of a hibernating bat's life was the Fort Collins Bat Project, a 5-year study that scientists from USGS, Colorado State University, and CDC collaborated on from about 2001-2006 to study population dynamics of big brown bats in Fort Collins, CO, and the dynamics of rabies viruses circulating in this population. The findings of that study were many and profound, but one of the coolest aspects was that they marked over 4,000 individual big brown bats with passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags and followed their movements and gave them occasional health check-ups over the years of the project. Read this paper for a summary of the project!
Today, we share the chromosome length assembly of the big brown bat based on the EptFus1.0 draft generated by the Broad Institute. In order to do the upgrade, we generated a Hi-C library using a sample donated by one of the tagged bats from the Fort Collins Bat Project. (Sample collected under Colorado Parks and Wildlife Scientific Collection License 14TR2010 issued to Paul Cryan. Protocols approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the USGS Fort Collins Science Center (FORT-IACUC #2014-08).
The bat, who was at least 10 years old when she died, had successfully birthed a pup during the four years of the study when the scientists were regularly checking in on her health. Like a good proportion of the big brown bats in Fort Collins, they detected rabies virus neutralizing antibodies in her blood in multiple years, so she was presumably immune!
This is the third Vespertilionidae bat family genome assembly at the DNA Zoo, after the little brown bat Myotis lucifigus and the North American long-eared bat Myotis septentrionalis. See how the genome assemblies relate to each other below!
DNA Zoo Vespertilionidae whole genome alignments: bit brown bat (EptFul1.0_HiC); little brown bat (Myoluc2.0_HiC) and North American long-eared bat (myse_ont_racon_pilon_HiC).

Ку Фэн правильнее Гу Фэн (), настоящее имя Чэнь Сывэнь (; род. 3 июля 1930 года в Шанхае) — гонконгский и китайский актёр кино и телевидения, двукратный лауреат премии Golden Horse за лучшую мужскую роль второго плана.

Биография и карьера
За период своей работы на кинокомпанию братьев Шоу, Ку Фэн зарекомендовал себя как один из наиболее ценных и универсальных актёров студии. В числе его ролей, хотя и преимущественно второго плана, были персонажи музыкальных фильмов, уся и фильмов боевых искусств, мастера боя и калеки, герои и обманутые мужья, бандиты и судьи.

Когда в середине 1980-х годов Shaw Studies практически прекратили производство фильмов для большого экрана, перенося основной упор своей деятельности на телевидение, однако Ку Фэн продолжил успешно сниматься с рядом независимых режиссёров, включая Цуй Харка, Майкла Хуэя и других. В то же время, актёр снимается и для телевидения — большей частью в сериалах основанной тем же Шао Жэньлэном телекомпании Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB), но также играя роли в постановках телеканалов Тайваня, Кореи и Японии.

Полная фильмография Ку Фэна, по разным оценкам, составляет более 200, или даже более 250 ролей.

On this year's cover, we have used Louis DeLuca's photo of the Pham family who were rescued during Hurricane Harvey. To hear Louis tell you about this photo, he would say, "It is a point of light in a time of darkness." To me, this image is the embodiment of service, aid and human kindness.
Throughout the year, Smiley N. Pool has taken us to great heights, showing us Dallas from above. As we gaze at these images, we realize the geometry and symmetry of urban sprawl. The perspective is different. The light is beautiful. We are used to seeing the city from behind the wheel of a car or seeing the airport from the long lines, moving sidewalks and skywalks as we begin our journeys. Viewing it all from above feels magical and reminds us of our scale in this vast universe.
Ashley Landis has charmed us by documenting small-town beauty queens. Her exploration of these communities brings home so clearly what we all love about summer and small towns.
As 2017 comes to a close, a heartfelt thank you to Andy Jacobsohn, Ashley Landis, David Woo, Evans Caglage, Guy Reynolds, Irwin Thompson, Jae S. Lee, Louis DeLuca, Michael Hamtil, Nathan Hunsinger, Ron Baselice, Rose Baca, Ryan Michalesko, Smiley N. Pool, Tailyr Irvine, Tom Fox and Vernon Bryant. Once again, everyone on the team has dazzled us and stolen our breath away with their incredible imagery. I hope you are touched and moved by the visual storytelling done by the team of The Dallas Morning News.
Can't wait to see what you all do in 2018!

The final tally stands at nearly 27 mooncakes – 12 made with pure lotus paste, 10 with mixed nuts & lotus paste surrounded by pandan flavoured lotus paste and 5 made with pandan lotus paste. The mixed nuts mooncake was a play on the traditional salted egg yolk centre mooncakes. I just mixed a handful of walnuts, chopped almonds and pumpkin seeds with the remaining lotus paste and shaped them into balls weight 25 gms. To mimic the outer filling (traditionally lotus paste), I used pandan lotus paste instead and utilised about 50-55 gms of the stuff.
As you can see, the nut-centred mooncake looks pretty decent except for the tiny pockets of air. That portion – the kneading and enveloping of the outer filling requires more work. I haven't tried this but my hubby and his colleague have tried the lotus paste mooncake and find the filling to be just nice, skin isn't too thick but because it hasn't matured (mooncakes need at least 24-48 hours to soften and mature), the skin is a bit tad on the hard side. I'll have to wait and see if that is the case even after maturing as I encountered some issues with the recipe (I found it to be a bit tad too fluid and tacky so I added in about another 50 gms of flour or so). Hm.
In a large bowl, mix the golden syrup, alkaline water and oil well before adding in the flour. Use a spatula to combine all ingredients before kneading into a dough. Do not overknead or over-stir. Cover and set aside to rest for at least 45 minutes or overnight if possible.
Roll and divide your filling into 65-70 gm balls (remember to oil your hands) and set aside.
Preheat the oven at 180 C for at least 30 minutes. This is crucial in ensuring a nicely baked crust.
Divide the dough into 20 gm balls (remember to keep your hands and fingers dusted with flour). Depending on your filling and how it's structured (just filling & skin or two different fillings & skin), wrap the skin around the filling. If you have two fillings (egg yolk/nuts/filling surrounded by another filling), wrap the center portion with the filling before you wrap it with the dough. Roll the finished product into a nice ball.
Dust the ball lightly with flour and placed the stuffed mooncake into the mould. Lightly press down onto the pan and gently remove the mould. Repeat until all the filling & dough is finished.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes. Remove and allow the mooncakes to cool for 15 minutes before brushing them with egg wash. Continue to bake until the pastry turns golden brown (about 10-12 minutes). Remove and cool on a wire rack before storing in an air tight container.
Allow the mooncake to sit and mature for at least 24-48 hours before serving. To store, keep these in an airtight container in the fridge.

DNA Script Signs Innovation Development Contract with French Defense Innovation Agency to Enable On-demand Diagnostics Against Emerging Biothreats
PARIS and SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. | January 28, 2021
Company will receive $1.6 Million to develop a qPCR probe manufacturing platform to enable the fast detection of highly pathogenic viruses and bacteria
DNA Script, a leading pioneer in enabling DNA synthesis on demand, today announced a partnership with the French Defense Innovation Agency, in liaison with the French Armament General Directorate (DGA), to develop a prototype for rapid mobile manufacturing of DNA primers and probes, key components of detection and diagnostic tests for pathogens. The joint project will employ DNA Script's novel enzymatic synthesis platform to quickly generate high-fidelity nucleic acids. The prototypes to be developed by DNA Script will be evaluated by the DGA. As part of the agreement, DNA Script will receive $1.6 million in funding.
In an emerging biothreat, like the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, conventional sources of supply for key reagents (qPCR primers and probes in particular) become a limiting factor. Therefore, it is essential to enable an on-demand, agile source for custom reagent manufacturing. The DGA identified DNA Script's SYNTAX™ platform, a benchtop instrument that synthesizes high-quality, custom nucleic acids in hours, a key capability that enables scientists to iterate faster in response to emerging biothreats, as a potential solution. The underlying core technology, enzymatic DNA synthesis, mimics the enzymatic process used by nature, thus avoiding the use of harsh organic solvents or the need to avoid the presence of air or water as required by conventional chemical approaches commercially available today.
DNA Script will adapt its SYNTAX™ platform to enable the synthesis of the DNA reagents such as Taqman probes, required in PCR-based molecular biology diagnostics. SYNTAX™ is the world's first instrument to use an enzymatic process for nucleic acid synthesis.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with the French Ministry for Armed Forces on this important initiative to rapidly detect, characterize and mitigate threats from newly emerging or engineered pathogens," said Thomas Ybert, Chief Executive Officer of DNA Script. "We believe that the speed, efficiency and ease of use of our SYNTAX™ nucleic acid printer and underlying enzymatic synthesis technology will be critical in addressing future pandemics."
About DNA Script
Founded in 2014 in Paris, DNA Script is a disruptive DNA synthesis company engineering biology to accelerate breakthroughs in life science. The company is pioneering an alternative to traditional DNA synthesis called enzymatic DNA synthesis, or EDS, making this technology accessible to labs with the world's first benchtop enzymatic synthesis instrument, SYNTAX™. By putting DNA synthesis back in the lab, DNA Script is transforming life science research through innovative technology that gives researchers unprecedented autonomy.

With the environmental impact of carrier bags a hot topic at the moment, we're doing our bit with this great Eco Bag! Our Jute Bag is ideal to use again and again. Jute is 100% sustainable and long lasting.
Great for carrying fruit, veggies and of course any other juicing essentials!


The other night Christina and I went out to dinner and took our time getting home, driving around the towns of the western Mesabi. For as long as I've lived and worked around this part of the state there are still corners I've never had happenstance to visit. One of those places was Marble.
If you go from Hibbing to Grand Rapids you drive by Marble all the time. It's one of the bypassed towns, like most of the Range. You've got Grand Rapids, Hibbing and Ely that snare you completely. Virginia and Eveleth, Calumet, Coleraine and Tower will slow you down a little. Everything else, a couple dozen neat little towns, can be seen at 65 miles an hour, if you bother to look.
Marble's a nice little town; declining of course, but what isn't these days? You can pick up a decent little house here for $40,000. You've got a gas station, bar and restaurant, a nice ballfield and access to the Mesabi Trail out the back side of town. One could easily move here, but few do. A quick glance explains that the people who live here are either retirees or young families without much money. They will move out when they can or must, to be replaced by the same. This town will not change much for another 100 years.
I was attracted by the view of an old mine dump beginning to green up with the spring, so we took a stroll down the Mesabi Trail at sunset. That trail is smooth and sharp-looking. A decade of development, aided by the advocacy and clout of former Rep. and House transportation chair Jim Oberstar, had a lot to do with that. We wondered aloud if we were seeing the trail in as good a condition as it ever would appear. I sure hope not.
The main street of Marble looks about the same after 100 years. Looks, but isn't. One wonders about the future of places like this. I see possibilities here. Walk up the trail toward the mountain that our immigrant ancestors built from scratch. You will see something special, not like the flatland towns or hollow exurbs. This is a hard rock place with trees and water, and our history is lying around in staining red dirt that you couldn't remove if you tried.
Stop and look for yourself.
Nice post. I was in Marble for their centennial parade a couple years ago. You adequately summarize it up pretty well — and like you, I hope that the Mesabi Trail isn't in the best shape it will ever be.
Nice article Aaron…giving credit (where credit is justified), I'm curious of the details backing up your statement "it's an Oberstar trail".
No one goes through Hibbing, they go around it. Hibbing was bypassed a long time ago. The economic center has had time to move out to the Highway 169 strip.
As you point out, Marble and the other small towns have things going for them. But not many people want to live in a town with a gas station, a bar, a restaurant and a ballfield. Without any ability to grab attention and traffic from the highway, other services can't survive, much less thrive.
But Marble and the other small towns along the highway have a different problem. People from around the town that used to shop in the local stores, can now drive a few minutes further to Hibbing or Grand Rapids for a lot more variety. The four lane highways have extended the market reach of those large towns and that is draining the smaller towns of their local businesses.
The solution, if there is one, is to attract more people to actually live in town. That means adding amenities for people who live there, not for people who drive through. The Mesabi Trail fits that.
I knew Oberstar could be in trouble when I saw the pictures of him posing with school children in Portland Oregon. He was being feted there for his leadership of safe routes to school and bicycle infrastructure. That was in September, when he could/should have been posing on the Range for his contributions to the same programs here. That is often how powerful congressman get brought down.
In 9th grade baseball I pitched vs Marble and half their team had a 5 o'clock shadow, I was intimidated when I saw them in warm ups and realized they had more hair on their face than I had on my whole body. There were brothers named Polusso I believe, great hockey players also.
"The St. Louis & Lake Counties Regional Railroad Authority was established in 1985 after it was made public that the Duluth Mesaba & Iron Range (DM&IR) Railroad planned to sell the railway line between Two Harbors MN and Duluth MN, known as the "Lake Front Line". Reacting to this situation, St. Louis County Commissioners and Lake County Commissioners met to determine what could be done to preserve this historic, scenic railway line along the shores of Lake Superior.
The St. Louis and Lake Counties Board of County Commissioners signed a joint powers agreement and established themselves as a Regional Railroad Authority (RRA), which is a political subdivision of the State of Minnesota, organized under M.S. 398A. The board is composed of three commissioners from St. Louis County and two commissioners from Lake County. The chairperson of their respective county boards appoints these commissioners annually each January. Regional Railroad Authorities have both levying and bonding power. The statutory mission of Regional Railroad Authorities is "to protect and preserve abandoned railway for future transportation purposes".
The St. Louis & Lake Counties Regional Railroad Authority was successful in securing the title to and the refurbishing of the Lake Front Line. Since 1990, the RRA, through private contractors, has leased the rail line for operation as a tourist train known as the North Shore Scenic Railroad which operates during warm weather months between Duluth and Two Harbors.
Shortly thereafter, the RRA began to look at other opportunities to preserve railway for future transportation purposes. At the same time several companies which operated railways on the Iron Range area of northern Minnesota were looking at abandonment of their lines. In an effort to preserve the right-of-way before the line became parceled off, the RRA began to research the possibility of a rail-to-trail alignment. With strong community interest and support, the concept of a trail connecting the communities between Grand Rapids and Ely commenced".
Hold on, 47. I did not delete your comment. I just got home and don't have energy for the rest. The post says what it says. I am well aware of the rail authority. I could say more but it is absolutely not worth our time.
Aaron…the truth is always short and doesn't take much time to state.
Oberstar had nothing to do with the Mesabi Trail. It was led by St. Louis and Lake county commissioners, local & city leaders and funded with state/local money..our taxes. Not a dime was given by Oberstar personally.
It's when we try to deceive that we weave a tangled web…and that takes time and energy.
As you state, it's a nice idea, nice trail…amen.
If the truth is so short then why do your comments get lost because they are too long for the Blogger platform to handle?
The trail was indeed built as you describe by the rail authority. The $2.7 million in federal grants to cities to help build the trail probably helped. Individual towns are responsible for the maintenance of their section of trail into the future. This was always a concern by some as the trail was being built. Folks used to say, 'don't worry, Jim Oberstar wouldn't let us run out of money to fix the trail.' Now Jim Oberstar is not in office and neither Cravaack nor any potential successor will ever have the ability to deliver money for pavement the way Oberstar could. I'm not putting a value judgment on that fact; just stating it as what I believe to be a valid piece of policy analysis. With cities struggling to pave their streets much less their trails, I think the fiscal demands of maintaining a long road over a railroad bed in a harsh climate will be great.
I hope that the trail is maintained. That's what I said. I do not believe we need to belabor the point, nor am I interested in expanding the conversation at this time.
It is indeed a nice trail, and the folks who put it together did a great job.
@K Edwards: There were a lot of great baseball players from postwar to the '80s in this western Mesabi region. Your stories match my grandfather's from the '50s. Wonderful ballfields all over this county. Far fewer teams to play on them.
Cyndy, I sense some umbrage. I would compare the town to Keewatin, a town very dear to my heart, and a good place to live. My grandparents have been there 50 years, my grandpa for his whole life except for the air force. They are wondering how long they can stay in the old house with stairs. A lot of the people in the neighborhood have passed on; the young families there are much more transient. This is just how Range bedroom towns are now. It's not a bad thing. It is a real thing.
Aaron, my cousin and his family chose Marble, they wanted a small town to raise their family in. Small town values…small community…etc…. They are happy with their home, with the location and with the nearby churches!!!
Cyndy and Laurie, I live in Balsam now. You know where that is. I grew up in several Range towns and townships. I certainly don't know everything about all our towns, less about Marble than many (as stated above). But I know Range towns generally quite well. I don't do Pollyanna chamber of commerce for anyone. Marble is a great little town (again, as stated). But it's problems and fate are tied with those of the Range as a whole. I wrote about these feelings. I did not intend offense.
I have lived in marble my entire life, as well as my family. It is a great place to live, you can let your kids run a muck, but they have to be back by the 9 o'clock whistle. Small town living, its the best!
You guys bring up fond memories of my childhood days…growing up in a small Range town near Marble. It's warming to hear it's still a "great place to live". It certainly was then..
We heard the whistle when we were there! I wasn't sure if I could believe my ears. Keewatin used to have one when I was a kid visiting my grandparents. I completely forgot to mention it here. Thanks for the comment!
I lived in Marble from 2000 to 2006 as a Middle/High School student. Coming from my point of view, Marble had very little to offer me. All the things Marble had, gas station, bar, restaraunt, ball field, could all be found in larger neighboring towns with much more people to interact with. Marble has only those 3 economical resources and that hurts the town a lot. A town needs resources for its' residents in order to thrive. Marble is a great little town, but with so little to offer anyone able to go elsewhere. The town will never be more than a dot on a map. Great article Aaron. I love Marble, but I would never move back when there are a lot better choices on the Range.
I have never read anything from this blog, but was told to check this out from a friend who reads this regularly. I am from Marble, I am an 18 year old college student who now studies at the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth. My parents bought the house my GREAT GRANDPARENTS lived in years ago, my dad worked hard and restored the house. It is an absolutely gorgeous house which would make my grandparents proud. I found extreme offense when you said that the only residents are retirees and 'young families without much money'. Excuse me? This house has been in my family for decades, but you would never know because of the work done. My family is young, but by no means is 'without money'. I believe it is time to stop judging a book by its cover, and not make assumptions that one size fits all.
As a young person on the Range you surely understand the challenges facing the region. It's hard to find a job. It's a challenge to maintain the culture that you and I both obviously care about. I hope that you are able to move back to the region, maybe even to your family's house. That's what I was able to do and I'm very grateful.
Of course I wasn't talking about your great grandparents house. I was talking about the houses I saw driving in to town from the east entrance after turning into town. Obviously there is a meme now being passed around that I was attacking Marble. I wasn't. And if you look at what I wrote, you'll see I didn't say anything that wouldn't be a reasonable impression by a person new to the region doing the same as me. We do ourselves no favors ignoring obvious problems in our communities. If it seemed like I was picking on Marble that's unintentional. The same analysis can be applied to most any town on the Range and the 2010 census data backs this up. As I live here and will not move, I hope you now understand my true intention in writing what I wrote.
I know quite a few families that are not hurting financially, and also many families that have lived there for a very long time. Marble must be doing something right to keep generations of families there who, over time, have different ideas of success. Being young there isn't ant work in marble, but it is a safe town, with very trustworthy people. Isn't that what families want for the children? I agree with raeanne, don't judge a book by its cover.
Brilliant, Tony. You even got the colors right on the shirt. I think this is something that everyone here can get behind. Am I allowed to post this? Because I will. This needs to go viral.
BTW, the Minnesota legislature is considering a bill to cancel $950 thousand in bond funding to help complete the Mesabi Trail. So we need to worry not only about maintaining the trail, but finishing it.
I am not sure that is really true. Jobs are available. What's hard to have is a career.
People are more transient. But the reason young families move on is that the advantages of living in town aren't there to keep them.
When the only services in town are a bar, restaurant and gas station, you have to drive everywhere anyway. Why not live out in the country. Or move to a suburb close to a larger community. Its not that towns like Marble can't be great places to live. But they need people with vision and energy who really believe in them and are determined to see their vision a reality. Because the culture of the Range says "it can't be done".
Thanks LCB…it appears Oberstar did play a role…along with many others not mentioned. My apologies.
Let's see what role and subsequent credit Cravaack plays going forth..
"Hi, funding for the trail came from a variety of sources such as Federal Enhancement, State Bond & LCCMR, IRR, County, Blandin. We have in place about $200,000 to maintain the trail annually for mowing, bituminous repair, sweeping and so forth. Annual maintenance is paid for by Itasca County (about $50,000) and St. Louis & Lake Rail Authority (about $150,000). The user fee or Wheel Pass funds are used to offset these costs. User fees generate about $15,000 per year. Cities along the trail also assist with mowing and sweeping. We have one, full time maintenance person; four summer interns; and one part time maintenance worker who perform maintenance. Equipment consists of 2 pick-up trucks and a variety of mowers, weed control, trimmers, saws and stuff like that.
A Long- term maintenance fund is set up to reconstruct/overlay the trail as needed such as the trail resurfacing project between Hibbing and Chisholm done last year".

Butler students react to new album releases and re-releases
From Swift's re-released "Fearless" album to AJR's new "OK Orchestra," students have plenty of new music to jam out to during the end of the semester. Photo courtesy of Variety.
ABIGAIL OAKLEY | STAFF REPORTER | aloakley@butler.edu
As the end of the school year is approaching, campus is the most alive it's been all year. With the weather changing and campus hitting its peak, it seems that Taylor Swift and AJR picked the perfect time to release music. Swift's old classics breathe life into the new spring season, while AJR is bringing new music to reinvigorate and inspire students during the last weeks of the semester.
In early February Swift re-released her 2008 hit "Love Story." This was followed by the release of "You All Over Me (feat. Maren Morris)" in March and "Mr. Perfectly Fine" in April.
The singles led up to the highly anticipated album "Fearless (Taylor's Version)" that was released on April 9. The album includes several re-recorded songs from her 2008 album "Fearless," as well as six new songs "from the vault."
You might be wondering: why did Taylor re-record some of her most famous songs?
Answer: she does not own these records. This means that she received a specified percentage of revenue from the music, and the rest went to her record label, Big Machine Records. It also means that Swift has little to no control over how her music is used.
In 2020 Big Machine Records was bought by Scooter Braun, a manager for artists such as Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande. Braun then sold Swift's music catalog to Shamrock Capital.
This may be routine in the music industry; however, Swift has pointed out that these deals — while they involve her music — alienated her. Because she does not own her music catalog prior to 2019, there is no legal obligation of her involvement in important deals. Thus, Swift's life's work was not in her hands.
Swift left Big Machine Records to join Universal Music group in 2018, and this switch granted her ownership of future recordings. By re-recording albums like "Fearless," Swift can now own a version of her songs.
Swift's re-recording takes music into her own control and changes the rules of the game. Chloe Enk, a first-year secondary education and math major, said that Swift's re-recorded songs demonstrate her independence.
"She's doing it to take back her name and her music," Enk said.
Through the label change, her loyal fanbase has been eager to support her and revisit classic favorites. Enk has been a fan since the original recording of "Fearless" and said she is excited to see how Swift has changed.
"Her fans have grown up as she's also grown up," Enk said.
Miranda Mejia, a junior elementary education major, also expressed excitement for the re-recordings.
"It's been really cool to hear old songs that I grew up with," Mejia said.
While Swift is taking back her name, another band is hitting faintly-tanned, hammocking, spike-ball playing Spotifiers and Apple Music users everywhere: AJR.
AJR is an alternative-pop trio, and their newest album "OK Orchestra" dropped on Mar. 26. The group's fifth album includes previously-released singles such as "Bang!" and "Bummerland," as well as new songs.
AJR began in 2005 in New York City with three brothers: Adam, Jack and Ryan Met. They released an extended play record in 2013, as well as four albums since then. AJR's music is innovative and creative while also combining several music styles such as pop, jazz, indie, electronic and dubstep. Each album has taken these styles and found new ways to combine them.
Susie Kramer, a junior communication sciences and disorders major, was impressed by the innovation in the most recent album "OK Orchestra."
"They are always very creative with their production," Kramer said. "They used unique sounds and things you don't hear other artists using."
AJR is known for diving into deep issues that the audience can relate to such as anxiety, politics and adapting to life. "OK Orchestra" is no exception, and the album shows their maturity as artists. It had a wider range of styles, from upbeat electronic to soft and understated.
Previously AJR has released "The Living Room," "The Click" and "Neotheater." The earlier albums contain mostly upbeat music that relies heavily on electronics while the most recent albums show the soulful, deep side of AJR. "OK Orchestra" continues to expand this range since it combines both styles and finds new ways to blend music.
The album also leaves the listener feeling hopeful. This is refreshing in a time of collective uncertainty. Kramer thought that it was more hopeful than past albums.
"They're always very honest with their writing and lyrics, and I think 'OK Orchestra' leaves you on a happier note compared to previous albums while still expressing the same honesty," Kramer said.
As the end of the year is approaching, while many students are stressed with finals, job searches and the ongoing pandemic, AJR gives the blend of honesty and optimism that listeners all need. Their hit "Bang!" discusses the transition from childhood to adulthood while "Bummerland" deals with the pessimism many people feel after this past year. These messages are sure to resonate with students.
So take a moment this week to listen. Lay out a blanket in the sun, hang up a hammock or take the time to reminisce on old music and discover the new.

Presidential Speech
Joe Biden Speech In Poland One Of Great Presidential Speeches
March 27, 2022 Ronald 1 Comment
President Joe Biden gave one of the great Presidential speeches of modern times yesterday in Warsaw, Poland, as he met with refugees from the Russia-Ukraine War.
He was passionate in defense of democracy, freedom, and in support of NATO as it deals with the Ukraine invasion.
His speech will be remembered much like John F. Kennedy's Cuban Missile speech in October 1962, and Ronald Reagan's Berlin Wall speech in June 1987, both challenging the Soviet Union, as now, Biden challenged its successor, the Russian Federation.
Joe Biden has demonstrated on this European trip a high level of energy and focus which belies his right wing critics who say he has dementia, a total fabrication.
Everyone should be proud of Joe Biden, who is proving just how Presidential he is, a stark contrast to his predecessor in the Oval Office!

Turning the clock back – Malcolm and motor vehicles
Contributed by Len Riggir 14/12/2021
The Ford Model T Malcolm with a van on the back to deliver meat was like this.
Malcolm was from the old school," horsepower" was king. He saw the benefits of motor vehicles and realised that they were easier to go places in. A horse had to be caught (if it was willing) and harnessed before he could go anywhere. When he got home the horse/horses had to be unharnessed groomed and fed. The vehicle could be put it in the shed switched it off and left.
He bought a Ford Model T in the mid to late 1910's and learned to drive. In these cars gears were selected via pedals on the floor. There was one for low gear and one for reverse, a combination of the two for high gear. There was also a hand brake. The accelerator, choke, and spark were pre-set via levers in the centre of the steering wheel. The engine was started by crank handle. Quite a skill which Malcom is reported to always had difficulty with.

Malcolm attended the 1926 Dunedin Exhibition and saw a 1926 Chrysler 6 for the grand price of 450 pounds. Presumably he thought this was a simpler vehicle to drive than the Ford. He bought one and it was delivered to him in Cromwell. Jim (my grandfather) learned to drive it first then had to teach Malcolm.
The Chrysler was quite different to the Ford. It had a gear stick, and three-foot pedals- clutch, brake, and accelerator.
Picture this- the vehicle is in the garage. Malcolm is behind the wheel of this brand-new car for the first time, his pride and joy. Jim's instruction, start the car, foot on the clutch, put it in reverse gear, little accelerator, let clutch out slowly. However, Malcolm being Malcolm and being used to the Ford, let the clutch out too fast and too much accelerator, the vehicle lurched forward and hit the end of the garage and stalled the engine. He had selected a forward gear, not reverse.
Malcolm went into horse mode both feet planted on the floor, one on the accelerator, both hands pulling on the steering wheel shouting at the top of his voice WHOA WHOA WHOA.
From then on Jim was the chauffeur.
