Women: Switching from Carbs to Proteins May Help Hormonal DisorderWomen: Switching from Carbs to Proteins May Help Hormonal DisorderA high-protein diet offers more control to women with polycystic ovary syndromeThe high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet has been popularized in recent years as a heart-healthy weight-loss diet. In a new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, blood sugar control, weight loss, and cardiac risk were all improved in women with a common hormonal disorder known as polycystic ovary syndrome.
Poly, what?
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a condition that affects the hormone balance in women, favoring the production of male hormones like testosterone over female hormones like estrogen and progesterone. This imbalance can lead to symptoms such as menstrual problems and infertility. Many women with this condition also develop insulin resistance, diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.
Looking to dietary protein for help
The new study included data collected from 27 women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Participants were assigned to either a high-protein diet or a standard-protein diet for six months. Both groups received regular nutritional counseling and were guided to reduce their intake of sweets and soft drinks.
The aim of the high-protein diet was to get 40% or more of each day's calories from protein and less than 30% of calories from carbohydrate. To achieve this, women in the high-protein-diet group were instructed to replace sugary and starchy foods with either protein-rich foods like meat, eggs, fish, and dairy foods, or with vegetables, fruits, and nuts. The aim of the standard-protein diet was to get less than 15% of calories from protein and more than 55% of calories from carbohydrate. There were no calorie restrictions with either diet.
A high-protein diet wins
At the end of the study, the following differences between the groups were seen:
- Women on the high-protein diet lost 4.4 kilograms (10 pounds) more than women on the standard-protein diet.
- Almost all of the extra weight lost by the women eating the high-protein diet was body fat, not muscle.
- The high-protein diet was associated with a greater reduction in waist circumference, indicating a greater loss of abdominal or belly fat. This type of fat has a strong link to cardiovascular disease.
- Women on the high-protein diet had lower blood glucose and C-peptide levels. C-peptide is a protein that is linked to insulin production. These findings show that blood sugar control improved more in this group than in the standard-protein diet group.
"We found that the replacement of carbohydrates with protein in a generally unrestricted diet can lead to increased weight loss and improved blood sugar control in women with polycystic ovary syndrome," said lead study author Lone B. Sorensen, a research scientist at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. "Our findings suggest that switching to a high-protein diet may help women with this syndrome to manage their condition and improve their overall health."
Making the switch to more protein
A high-protein diet offers more control to women with polycystic ovary syndrome by providing a way to improve their health through day-to-day food choices. The benefits of eating more protein and fewer carbohydrates-weight loss, blood sugar control, and reduction in abdominal fat-are all associated with better cardiovascular health.
Here are some changes you can make to reduce carbohydrates and increase protein:
- From cereal to eggs. A couple of poached or hard-boiled eggs with a side of fresh fruit can be a very satisfying breakfast.
- Lose the bread. Choose a salad with meat or fish or soups made with beans and vegetables instead of a sandwich for lunch. Have a larger portion and skip the side of bread.
- Snack on meat. A strip of smoked turkey or a piece of grilled chicken with some raw carrots or cucumber slices can take the edge away between meals.
- Pass on pasta. Have an extra helping of vegetables with dinner instead of potatoes, pasta, and other grains.

Courier staff writer
DES MOINES — The U.S. Department of Agriculture calls the continuing dry weather in Iowa "a growing concern" for the state.
State Climatologist Harry Hillaker said "most of the state is still waiting for substantial rain," as storms passed Iowa by again.
Much of Iowa slipped back into drought in recent weeks as persistently dry conditions finally overcame a surplus of spring rains. Statewide, topsoil rated 25 percent very short and 40 percent short. Subsoil moisture is doing just a bit better, with 19 percent very short and 40 percent short.
Southeast Iowa continues to be the driest part of the state. Seventy-eight percent of topsoil is short or very short on moisture, along with 66 percent of the subsoil.
The dropping moisture levels are having an impact on crops. Both corn and soybeans showed declines in condition, while hay and pasture conditions also fell.
Centerville and Bloomfield both hit 88 degrees last week, the highest temperature in the state. Hotter weather is expected this week.

Since 1986, St. Luke's Hospice has cared for countless patients and their loved ones, providing compassionate end-of-life care and support for grieving families. While many people don't want to think about dying, it is a very real part of life. Hospice helps patients and families find meaning and peace in one of the most difficult and challenging times in their lives. Hospice provides strength when it is needed most. St. Luke's Hospice is committed to providing this service even in the face of declining reimbursements. The value of hospice care is reaffirmed as each patient and each family face the inevitable journey with dignity, strength and hope.
St. Luke's invites you to consider a gift to Continuing the Journey: A Campaign for Hospice Endowment, a three year fundraising campaign to secure $1.5 million to add to the existing Hospice Endowment. A strong and healthy endowment will allow us to sustain the end-of-life services we provide to our patients and their families regardless of the ebb and flow of reimbursement streams.
Your gift to Continuing the Journey: A Campaign for Hospice Endowment will help to ensure that hospice staff and volunteers will continue to provide each patient and family member with the physical, emotional and spiritual support needed to approach end-of-life and the grieving process that follows with dignity and wholeness.
Operating support for the Hospice House on Black River Road
The services offered at St. Luke's Hospice House are especially meaningful to patients who have no family to care for them, as well as patients whose pain or overall care cannot be easily managed at home. With no where else to turn, St. Luke's Hospice House becomes a home away from home for patients who, for whatever reason, cannot remain in their own homes.
Support for bereavement programs
Helping families grieve in a way that provides wholeness and closure is a significant piece of the hospice program. Hospice offers a variety of programs and support groups that help individuals through the grief process. Walking through Grief" – a walking group, "Loss, Grief & Books to Help you Cope" – a book club and "What's Next" – a support group are some examples of programs geared toward helping families copies with grief.
Support for the ongoing professional development of hospice nurses, counselors and volunteers
It takes a special person to work at St. Luke's Hospice. Hospice nurses, counselors and volunteers are caring, compassionate individuals who play a critical role in helping patients and their families honor the meaning of their life, articulate their last wishes, and prepare for the end of their life's journey.
Support to meet the special and unique needs of our patients and their families
Sometimes caring for a patient and their family involves meeting unexpected needs, such as purchasing their burial suit or a special food item.

Help us make a difference to those who need advanced and compassionate health care.

First Tennessee knocked off market-share throne
The FDIC has released its latest market share numbers, and they include a surprising result among statewide deposits.
As of June 30, the agency reports that Regions Bank is now the market-share leader in Tennessee, with 15.5 percent of deposits. First Tennessee dropped to second place, with 14.3 percent of deposits in the Volunteer State.
In 2007, First Tennessee led the state with 19.6 percent of deposits.
First Tennessee Bank issued the following statement from Charles Burkett, president of banking:
Over the past year First Tennessee's share of households with a primary (checking) product with the bank increased, however because of a reduction in funding related to the company exiting its national mortgage and real estate lending businesses, we anticipate the next FDIC Deposit Market Share Report will show a loss of market share for the bank. The decline will not mean we lost share of households and businesses to our competitors.
The anticipated change in the market share numbers will represent an aggregate percentage decrease resulting from the one-time funding reduction.
Specifically, we had deposits about $6 billion that were funding loans generated as part of our national expansion. Now that we have wound down our national businesses, the loans have declined and the need for that funding was reduced.
Because the FDIC method for calculating market share includes all insured deposits, both direct customer deposits and deposits acquired through brokers on the wholesale markets, we concluded the report likely will indicate First Tennessee lost deposit share.
Our position is strong. We currently have checking account relationships with about 22 percent of the 1.5 million households in our markets, which represents about 75 percent of the total state population. This means First Tennessee is the leading bank in four of its five key markets. In the fifth market, Nashville, we are aggressively working to increase our market share.
In an interview, Burkett said the approximately $6 billion in wholesale funding had previously showed up as deposits in the Memphis market.
That's why First Tennessee's deposit market share in Shelby County has dropped to (a still-dominant) 43 percent, compared to 58 percent last year.
"We haven't lost any customers in the state of Tennessee," Burkett said. "And that's the flaw in the FDIC market-share report."

Monday, May 20, 2013 —
RALEIGH – The N.C. Education Lottery warns its players to be on alert about a lottery scam that appears to be targeting recent lottery winners.
In reports to the Consumer Protection Division of the N.C. Attorney General's Office and to WCNC-TV in Charlotte, recent lottery winners said they were contacted by callers purporting to be from the N.C. Education Lottery and told they had won additional prizes as part of the win. The callers ask the consumers to buy a prepaid debit card and provide the number to them before obtaining the additional prizes.
Alice Garland, executive director of the N.C. Education Lottery, said no legitimate lottery asks winners who win a prize to pay money up front to receive it. She said scammers will use the name of the N.C. Education Lottery to try and take advantage of people so consumers should take careful steps to ensure they are dealing with authorized lottery retailers and legitimate lottery employees.
"Lottery scams, unfortunately, are all too common, but they can easily be avoided by following a few common-sense guidelines," said Garland.
"We have customer service representatives and security officials who are here to help lottery players with any questions they have about our games. Once you buy your lottery ticket, no additional money is required from you to claim a prize that you win."
State Attorney General Roy Cooper urged consumers to be careful and said that his office is available to provide assistance.
"Anyone who promises you've won a prize but demands money before you can claim it is trying to rip you off," said Cooper. "Don't take the bait, and report lottery and other prize scams to my office."
Players who win up to $599 get their prize at lottery retailers after a winning ticket is validated. Those who win prizes of $600 or larger must claim their prize at one of the NCEL's regional claims centers. Those who win a prize valued at $100,000 or more must claim their prize at NCEL headquarters in Raleigh. Players who have questions about NCEL games can call the N.C. Education Lottery's Customer Service line toll free at (877) 962-7529 and those with a security issue can call the Security Hotline toll-free at (888) 732-6235. The NCEL keeps information about lottery scams in a section of its website at http://www.nc-educationlottery.org/. Some of the main guidelines are:
· Buy lottery tickets only from an authorized NCEL lottery retailer.
· Never give your credit card, Social Security card, driver's license, passport or bank account numbers over the phone to someone promising lottery prizes.
· If you receive a letter, email or phone call asking you to send money to claim a prize, do not respond. No legitimate lottery will ever send you this type of communication.
Consumers who believe they have been the victim of a scam or an attempted scam can get assistance from the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division by calling 1-877-566-7226 or 919-716-6000 or by filing a consumer complaint online at www.ncdoj.gov

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — In conjunction with the upcoming CROPWalk, Food and Shelter will open its doors to those wanting to learn more about the fight to end hunger and homelessness in the community.
On Sunday, hundreds of women, children and men will gather at Food and Shelter, symbolically walking with those who must walk miles to get food — here and around the world.
"We felt like this was a great opportunity to share our mission with our friends in the community," said April Doshier, executive director of Food and Shelter.
CROP, which stands for Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty, is a nationwide effort to raise awareness about the impact of hunger and poverty.
The walk is one of more than 2,000 such events taking place across the country this year and has been a part of the community for more than 30 years. The walk is organized by volunteers from a variety of local faith communities.
Twenty-five percent of all funds directly benefit hunger and poverty relief efforts provided by Food and Shelter.
"This event is a significant source of our annual budget, and its success allows us to continue to feed the increasing number of hungry women, children and men in Norman," Doshier said.
This year's walk is dedicated to the memory of Michael McNeill, a Food and Shelter guest who lost his life recently.
"We walk in honor of Mike because he represents the wonderful human beings we see here at Food and Shelter and the work being done for the homeless and hungry here in Norman, but also reminds us that we have much work to be done," Doshier said.
This August, Food and Shelter posted record numbers of individuals being served in the dining room and a significant increase in the number of families requesting shelter services.
No reservation are necessary to attend the open house. Guided tours will be available from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Sunday. Individuals and families who would like to join CROPWalk can register at www.cropwalk.org.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Brian McCrae is not used to being laid up. The Bishop Snyder football coach in Jacksonville, Fla., like most coaches, likes to be moving around and getting things done.
However, after having back surgery, McCrae admitted he had been laying in his hospital bed feeling sorry for himself.
That all changed May 20. On that day, as he watched his hospital television, he saw a tornado rip through Moore and was transfixed on what he was seeing.
Even though it took place more than 1,150 miles from where he laid in his hospital bed, McCrae knew exactly what the people of Moore were going through. He also knew exactly what needed to be done.
"I was sitting there feeling sorry for myself," McCrae said. "I looked up at the TV and saw all the devastation in Oklahoma on the news. I said I guess I don't have it that bad after all. It hearkened me back to when I was in Central Florida and had two hurricanes back to back. Hurricane Charley and Hurricane Frances. It absolutely devastated our state and that was during football season. It was just such a gut-wrenching time.
"I knew that is what was exactly going on at that time in Oklahoma."
McCrae said despite the hardships the hurricanes had done to his towns, the one thing that everyone was able to galvanize around was football. With Hurricane Charley taking place during the middle of the season, fans and townspeople still came out on Friday night to watch his team play.
McCrae wants to make sure the schools in Moore are able to be the same type of inspiration. He also doesn't want them to have to ever worry about needing to replace athletic equipment for a long time.
"I tell my kids all the time, you either do something then you get better," McCrae said, "or you do nothing and you get worse. Those are the two choices you always have. I said to myself, 'are you going to do something or are you going to do nothing.'"
McCrae came up with the idea of Sooner Equipped. It's a simple plan to fill a 53-foot semi-trailer with athletic gear and drive it across the country to Moore.
"We want to make sure that those kids have Friday nights in Oklahoma," McCrae said. "It's a time they can get away from everything else. Football is great first aid. I just made a few phone calls, talking to coaches to see what we could do and before you know, it took off like lighting."
Since McCrae is still laid up in his hospital bed, he has had to leave it to others to do the grunt work. But it's been his calls to coaches, the media and other sources that have helped get the word out about Sooner Equipped. He even got Bob Vetzel of Hills Van Service to donate the trailer being used and to pay for it to be driven to Oklahoma.
Now, McCrae and his people just have to fill it. But he doesn't want to give the people of Moore equipment they will never use or don't need. That's why he's calling on all coaches from the Moore schools who lost anything in the tornado to send him a list of what they need. From the high schools on down to the youth leagues, he wants to be Santa Claus.
Along with the coaches McCrae has already called and e-mailed in Florida seeking donations for Sooner Equipped, he is getting help from other places. According to McCrae, he got a call from Max Preps, who offered to send the lists of needs to the more than 100,000 coaches in their database. They expect to fill the semi trailer with enough sports equipment that if another tornado strikes the area again, they will not have to worry about trying to replace what was lost because the reservoir will still be full.
McCrae doesn't want to coaches or school officials be humble or bashful in making out their lists. Even if something only got scratched, he said consider it damaged and ask for two more to replace it.
The same goes for individual kids who may have lost their own personal equipment at home.
"There is another tornado coming, unfortunately," McCrae said. "So what I want to happen is for it to all trickle down to all the little leagues who don't have contact information. The high schools and middle schools will be the drop-off point. But then it's going to be whoever needs this stuff, come and get it. You shouldn't have anything less than you had last year just because Mother Nature decided to pick on you."
McCrae was worried about stepping on people's toes when he came up with this idea. But as parents worry about replacing homes, cars and other things, he wanted to eliminate at least one small worry.
As soon as the trailer is loaded with donations, it will make its way from Jacksonville to Moore. Only then will McCrae believe his job is done.
"I never thought this thing would get off the ground in a million years," McCrae said. "I don't know the first thing about running charities or logistics. Or anything like that. But the human spirit is a great thing. That's what's driving this whole thing. It's really a marvelous thing to be part of now."
Coaches in Moore or school district officials can e-mail their list of needed sports equipment to Brian McCrae at email@example.com.

Application template for machine modules
Lenze Americas' FAST application template and ready-made standard software modules is designed to handle software engineering requirements for machine modules and expedite machine programming.
Lenze Americas' FAST application template and ready-made standard software modules is designed to handle a majority of the software engineering requirements for machine modules.
The FAST tool provides a complete range of standard software modules for positioning, registration, cam profiling, multi-conveyor coordination and other synchronized motion control tasks, including modules for feeding, unwinding, sealing, cross-sealing and discharging applications. The pre-configured software modules are designed to significantly expedite machine programming.
The FAST application template comes equipped with all of the necessary structures for standardizing software, so users can more quickly develop machine modules. This allows a significant reduction in engineering and software development time and expense, which more companies are demanding. The template includes important structures for key functions, including switching over machine states, error handling and communication interfaces.
Machine motion and control functions are contained in individual, autonomous modules which can be selected, exchanged and tested completely independently. Software modules created using the application template can be assembled with minimal effort to create complete and reusable systems. Repeat use of tested modules on new machine iterations further reduces errors and drives down cost.

SQL Comparison SDK is available individually, or as part of the SQL Toolbelt.
Contact a sales representative to purchase the SQL Comparison SDK or to discuss licensing:
Incorporate comparison and synchronization
functionality into your applications
The SQL Comparison SDK provides a means to compare and synchronize database schemas and data from within your own applications, with a greater degree of control than the command line interfaces.
It does this by giving you access to the APIs used within our SQL database comparison and synchronization tools. By accessing these, you can completely automate all your SQL comparison, synchronization, packaging and update jobs.
You can, for example, create a program to schedule the comparison and synchronization of your SQL databases; then automate their installation, replication and verification.
If you include the SQL Comparison SDK as part of your applications, you can distribute up to 10 copies as part of your license. For more than 10 distributions there will be an additional charge per distribution. If you would like further information on distributing the Comparison SDK please give us a call.
I love the ability to use the command-line functionality to specify the comparison of a single object or a set of objects. It's a quick way to determine if an object is the same between my development and QA environments.Jon Moorman, Senior Database Architect, Fair Isaac Corp
Setting up replication between sites with the command-line utility is quick and easy. We can schedule data synchronization as often as we need it.Eddie Smith, Database Architect, Citadel Security Software
As we started a new development adventure moving our work order system from Cold Fusion to ASP.NET we were in need of a database re-write. As I started the process and got a new developer on board, it was quickly realized that keeping up with database schema changes was difficult.
I checked out Red Gate's SQL Comparison SDK after I remembered hearing about it in one of my newsgroup's newsletters. It worked great.
Now my other developer just gets the latest file version automatically, double-clicks on the file in Visual Studio and is able to quickly launch the Compare tools and get his local copy of the SQL database the same as mine. It has been an absolute time-saver for us. We can concentrate on development and not wasting time making sure the database schema is the same. Thanks for a Wonder Product!Robert L. Taylor, Senior Web/Systems Developer, DataStarUSA, Inc.

This may be the year of actor Matthew McConaughey.
At the very least, fans will remember 2012 as the year that McConaughey revolutionized his career. He's starred in five different independent films, taking on smaller, character-actor parts in place of his usual roles as the sly-grinning heartthrob in romantic comedies.
You might not be able to hear it on television, but in the Olympic stadiums and arenas of London over the next weeks, games-watchers will be treated to some exclusive new tracks from world-renown mashup artist Jordan Roseman, better known as DJ Earworm.
"Out of the blue, there was an email," Roseman tells weekends on All Things Considered host Guy Raz. "They wanted these mixes."

Enduring symbols of the Olympics are everywhere in London, and I'm not just talking about ATMs for Visa, a ubiquitous Olympic sponsor.
The five Olympic rings grace every wall, walk, sign, banner and building in and around the Olympic Park and other venues.
But the Olympic flame, the other most recognizable symbol of the Olympics, is invisible to all but a relative few.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney is calling Sen. John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate in 2008 a "mistake."
In an excerpted interview with ABC News' This Week on Sunday, Cheney said it's important that Romney not repeat the fumble. The list of potential VP picks is a big one, he says, but there's a shorter list, too:

Fighting continues in Aleppo, Syria's largest city on Sunday while accusations of meddling – and pleas to meddle more – are flying on the international stage.
According to Guardian correspondent Luke Harding, reporting from Aleppo province, the rebels are holding their own but are ultimately outmatched against government forces using heavy weaponry. He quotes a rebel commander who "was relatively pessimistic about the Free Syrian Army's chances of fending off repeated attacks":
Today, London Olympic organizers find themselves beating back insults like serves in a gold medal table tennis match.
On Day 1, there were empty seats at wildly popular events like beach volleyball and gymnastics. And even at the Aquatics Center, where Ryan Lochte smoked everybody in the men's 400 individual medley.
Fans who would've gladly paid the exorbitant ticket prices were fuming. British politicians worried that the empty seats made the country look uninterested.

Two big disappointments this morning: American gymnast and defending world champion Jordyn Wieber failed to qualify for the all-around finals.
The AP reports that it was nonetheless a great day for other Americans, who are favorites for gold:
The Olympics have officially had a "Salahi moment." Remember, the White House gatecrashers? Well, on Friday during the opening ceremony, a young woman wearing a red jacket and turquoise pants was seen walking with the Indian delegation into Olympic stadium. Not only that, but she was walking alongside the flag bearer.
The only problem? No one knew who she was.

With the help of a generous LeBron James, assisting more than he scored, the United States breezed through France 98 to 71.
It wasn't a flashy win, but it showed U.S. dominance.
During an interview after the game, Kevin Durant was asked how the team chooses which of the All Stars gets to a take a shot.
"We don't care who scores," he said.

TUPPER LAKE — The Village Board is pushing for a new state review regarding management of the railroad corridor through Tupper Lake.
The trustees want access decisions made so people will know what projects to develop.
The Lake Placid-Remsen railroad tracks, managed by the State Department of Transportation, are not currently high grade enough for commercial use or for the slower tourist train traffic to or from Tupper Lake.
Trains owned by the Adirondack Scenic Railroad do travel between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake.
The unused 25-mile corridor from Saranac Lake to Tupper has drawn interest from recreational-trail advocates, who believe it would make a perfect start to a wilderness bike path if the tracks were torn out.
But railroad enthusiasts and historians in Tupper Lake rebuilt the former train depot, anticipating restoration of rails.
About eight years ago, Gov. George Pataki allocated $5 million for new tracks to Tupper Lake.
Several groups, including AdkAction, the Adirondack Recreational Trail Advocates and the Adirondack North Country Association, have done independent work, assessing the economic-impact potential of the corridor.
The numbers do not entirely align.
Then, in October 2012, the Adirondack Railroad Preservation Society, which operates the tourist trains, announced an agreement with Iowa Pacific to establish Pullman car service on the line to New York City.
But the property, classified as a Travel Corridor in the Adirondack State Land Master Plan, is owned and managed by DOT.
The DOT's Unit Management Plan for the corridor, completed in 1995, has not been updated since. And DOT has not officially weighed in on proposals.
At the far end of the line, Utica City Council voted 9-0 last month to keep the tracks in place.
In a recent 4-1 vote, the Tupper Lake Village Board asked state transportation officials to reopen the plan and sort out the best use of the corridor.
That resolution joins similar measures approved in the towns of Harrietstown and Tupper Lake and the Village of Saranac Lake.
DOT did not respond to numerous Press-Republican requests in the past week seeking its position on reopening the Unit Management Plan.
The dissenting Tupper Lake Village vote was cast by Mayor Paul Maroun, who is concerned that public review could render the route inaccessible to motorized traffic forever.
Tupper Lake is at a critical railroad-corridor crossroads, he said, with work planned for a major resort development here.
The railroad long supported the timber industry in Tupper Lake, he observed in a recent interview.
"There is a strong possibility that, if you open the UMP up, then the Lake Placid-Remsen line could become 'no motor vehicle access' wilderness land. It's been so long since DOT reviewed the plan, and nothing has happened. Why now? Shared use for recreational trails beside the tracks is already in the Unit Management Plans."
Maroun said that if DOT abandons the rails, then the land could eventually revert back to wilderness, erasing the thin connector route that is the Lake Placid-Remsen travel corridor.
Several other user groups already have plans in motion.
With permits in hand, the Adirondack North Country Association is seeking matching funds to build a rail-with-trail project beside the tracks from Lake Placid to Saranac Lake.
The North Country Economic Development Council has made revitalizing railroads throughout the entire region a priority in order to improve commerce and transportation.
And, Maroun said, potential investment from Iowa Pacific for through traffic to New York City a "huge" prospect.
Meantime, he said, the debate between user groups has gotten divisive, as they cannot agree on which economic indicators to use.
Copies of the Village Board's resolution asking DOT to revisit the railroad corridor were sent to DOT, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the Department of Environmental Conservation, Adirondack Park Agency and local lawmakers, Maroun said.
"The trail advocates think if you open the line up tomorrow, there will be 200 snowmobiles a day in Tupper Lake. We have use of the corridor for snowmobiles now and that doesn't happen.
"I'm for finding a way for shared use. If we can get $3.64 billion for a new Tappan Zee Bridge over eight years, then we can get $50 million to do both railroad upgrades and a bike path beside or around the tracks."
About 50 people spoke to the issue ahead of the Village Board's vote, Maroun said.
The railroad corridor has an expansive impact area, transecting 10 towns and six upstate counties: Oneida, Herkimer, Hamilton, St. Lawrence, Essex and Franklin.
About 87 percent of the 119-mile railroad line is inside the Adirondack Park; only 46 miles are bordered by State Forest Preserve land.
The rest is bordered by numerous private landowners.

/ Newsroom / Latest Releases / Release No. 0162.11
WASHINGTON, April 14, 2011 – Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced the publication and start of a 90-day comment period for the proposed Colorado Roadless Rule, developed collaboratively to address the needs of Colorado's unique and precious roadless areas.
"We are committed to the protection of roadless areas on our national forests, areas vital for conservation of water resources, wildlife and for outdoor recreation," said Vilsack. "These areas also provide an important driver of economic opportunity and jobs in rural Colorado communities."
This proposed rule, in development since 2005, reflects the interests of thousands of Coloradoans and stakeholders from across the country who contributed to its development.
"The Forest Service cares deeply about protecting Colorado's roadless areas," said U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell. "Through collaboration, I believe we have developed a proposal that will afford better, lasting protection to these treasured areas, and we welcome additional comments in order to develop a successful approach for conservation of this special resource."
The proposed Colorado Roadless Rule:
The proposed Colorado Roadless Rule and Revised Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) will be printed tomorrow in the Federal Register, but today are available for review and comment online either at the Office of the Federal Register's website or at the Forest Service website at http://roadless.fs.fed.us/colorado.shtml. Upon tomorrow's printing, the Forest Service will take comments on this proposed rule for 90 days. Agriculture Secretary Vilsack and Chief Tidwell will consider public input prior to making the decision on the final Colorado Roadless Rule and EIS, which is expected to be signed in late 2011.
The mission of the USDA Forest Service is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the Nation's forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations. The Agency manages 193 million acres of public land, provides assistance to states and private landowners, and maintains the largest forestry research organization in the world.

The Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings practiced Sunday for the first time since the end of the 3 1/2-month NHL lockout, beginning preparations for Saturday's season opener at Staples Center against the Chicago Blackhawks.
"It was good to get back out there and snap the puck around and get our mind back into hockey season," defenseman Drew Doughty told City News Service following the practice at the Toyota Sports Center in El Segundo. The practice was "pretty much the same as another of Darryl's practices," Doughty said, referring to coach Darryl Sutter.
"We focused on a few aspects of our team game," Doughty said. "I think every day we're going to focus on different things."
Doughty said "he missed all the guys over the summer."
The 54-year-old Sutter said it was good to be back on the ice with the team, but "it's tough on old guys to put your skates back on. It's like breaking in cowboy boots."
The Kings will also conduct a practice open to the public at Staples Center beginning at 7 p.m. Monday, with doors opening at 6 p.m. Admission is free. Complimentary tickets can be downloaded at www.ticketmaster.com/lakings starting at 6 p.m. Sunday.
The Monday practice will be televised live by Fox Sports West and re-aired at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Tuesday and 1 p.m. and 9 p.m. Wednesday.
Tickets for all of the Kings' 24 games at Staples Center will go on sale at 6 p.m. Monday on LAKings.com.
The Kings sold out 37 of 39 regular-season games at Staples Center last season, their most regular-season sellouts at Staples Center, where they have played since 1999, and averaged a team-record 18,119 fans per game.

Here is what I have:
I decided to use Wordpress for a blogging project about some products. ALL of our posts need to have the following product fields:
- Product Name.
- Product Owner.
- Product Link.
- Product Rating.
I'm not familiar with Wordpress but I want these attribute to appear at every post's top. I think there is some kind of plugin (assuming I can't do that without a plugin) to allow me to have these fields in my post. And if there is one, will it limit my theme choices?

The anticipated opening date for the Coarsegold Medical Clinic is July 1. The clinic will be run by Dr. AP Sidhu, Doctor of Internal Medicine and Geriatrics. Since 1998, Sidhu has given medical care to seniors in up to 20 Central Valley nursing homes and assisted living centers.
When the doors first open, Sidhu will begin seeing patients with appointments only. Down the road, that may change and walk-ins may be seen. Sidhu is hoping to offer other medical services, such as lab work and x-rays, which would be offered a few times a week. Once all the proper paperwork is in place, the clinic will also offer children immunizations.
"We will see patients of all ages for their healthcare and preventative needs. And once it's been determined that there is a specific need in the community, we will do what we can to meet that need," Sidhu said.
The clinic will also provide some emergency needs, such as stitches or checking someone who has fallen.
Sidhu's goal is to gear his practice to the needs of the community.
"We pride ourselves on customer service," he added, "and will do everything possible to deliver the best healthcare possible. We look forward to being a part of this community for a very long time."
Sidhu came to the United States in 1994 from India. He's the owner of the Fresno Long Term Care Medical group, and received a Lifetime Achievement Award for his work with the elderly in 2007 from the Fresno mayor at the time, Alan Autry.
From 1998 to 2005, Sidhu saw patients in private practice, then closed his practice to dedicate 100% of his time and energy to the care of seniors. He recently decided to venture into private practice again. Given the number of retirees in the area and his passion for caring for the elderly, Coarsegold offered a perfect fit.
Initially, the clinic will be open five days a week, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with all insurances, including Medi-cal and Medicare accepted.
However, if no appointments are scheduled, the clinic will close and the staff will return to Fresno to finish out the day. Once appointments pick up and the practice grows, Sidhu may decide to open the clinic six days per week, if needed.

Late April Powder & Private Pipe Session
The Tracking Eero crew was cut down in size significantly when we rolled onto Saas Fee, Switzerland from Laax for our next stop on the European Tour. The drive took us six hours and was quite the excursion, we took two different trains that let us load our cars on them to get through the passes.
Our first train had us buy a ticket and sit on the train, which was nice to watch the countryside go by, as well as letting our two young riders Kazuhiro Kukobu and Charles Reid catch up on some much needed rest. The second train you stayed in the car once it was loaded on the train, creating quite the scene in our vehicles.
Once we reached Saas Fee, the first thing you do is park your car and call your hotel for pick up, no cars are allowed in the town, pretty cool and very eco friendly. The first few nights we would be staying at the Hotel Dom where the riders stay when they come to Saas Fee. This is the town Freddie K. the badass backcountry ripper you see star in the Burton films every year, calls home.
Greg Martin from Friday Productions had already reached out to the tourism board at Saas Fee about our arrival and plans to shoot. Knowing we had a big day a head of us, we grabbed a late dinner and crashed.
The next day we meet up with Anja Roy head of PR & Events for Saas Fee Tourism, and Anja was amazing to work with. She took care of our lodging and needs in town. We then met up with Prisca the Marketing/Events person for Saas Fee the ski resort for lift tickets and to discuss a private pipe shoot. Wednesday our last day in town, looked to be the weather day. So, we lined up everything to go down on Wednesday. The rest of our Monday was spent doing work and shooting some lifestyle with Kazu and Charles.
On Tuesday morning we awoke to bluebird skies, not wanting to waste such a great day, Sandy and I grabbed the boys and shot lifestyle segments around town for a few hours. Then we headed up the two gondolas and one cable car to the top of Saas Fee. Upon arrival each one of us was winded, it was hilarious, after gathering our marbles we checked out the scenery and charged the open powder fields beneath us.
Line of the day went to Charles, "This is amazing, I didn't think this was going to happen this year… my first powder day and it's April 21st." Gotta say the kid is lucky and not so lucky. Preparing for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games has taken the fun out of snowboarding for some, but thankfully for kids like Charles they get to go on late season trips like this and shred powder in the Swiss Alps.
We spent the rest of the day ripping pow, throwing backflips, airing off any cat track we could find and checked out the pipe. The pipe needed work, but we were told everything would be dialed tomorrow.
Knowing we had another big day ahead of us, we went back to Hotel Dom to check out (they were closing for the season) and check into our new place, Hotel Marmotte, where Anja had booked us next. The owner was quite nice and dialed us in for the evening while we grabbed a tasty and delightful dinner down the street at Don Ciccio. We highly recommend this place to anyone that wants a truly authentic Italian meal in the Swiss Alps… keep in mind Italy is just over the other side of Saas Fee.
Wednesday came up fast and we were stoked to charge it, but before we headed up it was time to shoot some funny lifestyle segments. We had Kazu dress up in the original 70s outfit for the hotel and drive the electric cart around town with Charles. We then went to the gondola and packed it full of our camera gear and Marius' paraglider gear.
Upon reaching the mid station we met up with our good friend Mathieu the chef who would be driving his Arctic Cat for us to shuttle the riders to the top of the pipe. A quick segment for the show with Mathieu as the local chef and we were off to the top.
The pipe needed some more work after the mountain received another few inches of snow. One phone call into Prisca and the pipe shaper was on his way up to the pipe to make a few extra passes and get the snow out of the flat bottom. Just as we were waiting a guy comes down the pipe to stop and talk to us, but catches his heel edge and backwards scorpions, breaking his collarbone. Not sure who the guy was, we ask the Park Manager, Dennis and he explains to us that was our shaper.
What horrible luck, not wanting to sit there and be bummed, we grab shovels and racks to clean up the pipe by hand. Within an hour the pipe is looking good and Prisca has sent up a cat to push snow out and roll down the decks to look pretty for the camera.
For the next six plus hours Kazu and Charles destroyed the pipe with an assortment of tricks on both walls. You could tell they were stoked to ride a soft pipe in such insane surroundings as the Swiss Alps.
Kazu was doing nasty frontside alley-oops, 16 foot method airs, mctiwts, 900 melon grabs and 540 indy grabs. Charles not to be out done, charged for an extra 30 minutes to nail the paraglider shots with huge frontside alley-oops of his own, 15 foot tail grabs, rodeos, backside 900s and 1080s with grabs.
The shoot rapped up at sunset just before 7pm as we all cruised down the mountain with our guide Dennis. Our day had provided so much fun in the sun and we were all exhausted. But we could not rest yet, as we needed to pick up all the paraglider gear, back up at the hotel, get a ride to our cars and then hit the road for Zurich so everyone could head onto there next destination. On our way out of town we ran into Anja and thanked her for everything and that we would all be back again soon.
Zurich was a long drive and involved another train ride, but we were all stoked to be heading to new locations. Kazu was off to Squaw and Northstar to film, Charles was heading home to Canada for a few days, Sandy and Mark were headed back to the UK, while Marius and Greg were driving to the next shoot in Norway.

Steve Dietrich has been named the new general manager of the Buffalo Bandits, and it's easy to see why. He certainly hits the obvious checkmarks that you'd want in a team executive here in Buffalo.
Want someone that knows the league? You'd have to say Dietrich qualifies. He played 18 seasons in the National Lacrosse League, with stops in Baltimore, Detroit, Rochester, Buffalo, Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto. Heck, he could double as traveling secretary. Dietrich most recently served as an assistant coach in Toronto.
Want a good player that can command respect? Dietrich was the first goalie to be named most valuable player in the NLL, with the honor coming in Buffalo in 2006. He was a finalist for the league's hall of fame this summer, and I would guess that he'd have a good chance of getting in. If it's not this year, it will be soon.
Want someone with a connection to the Bandits, but not too close of a connection? Dietrich spent six seasons here, so he's familiar with the fanbase, tradition, etc. But Dietrich has been associated with enough other teams that he's liable to bring some fresh ideas to Buffalo.
This is not an easy assignment for Dietrich. Some of Buffalo's best players are relatively old, and the league seems to get younger and more athletic by the year. Darris Kilgour often has preferred veterans to youngsters. That's understandable for an organization that sells 16,000 seats a game and wants to keep selling them. In other words, mortgaging the future to contend in the present is more than defensible.
Buffalo only has one first round draft pick in the next three years, the third overall choice this fall. That's where stars come from, and the Bandits need to make that pick a good one. Otherwise, restructuring the roster while staying good will be a challenge. Will Dietrich stick to Kilgour's plan of using mostly players within commuting distance, or will he broaden the team's sights?
I'm always fond of saying that it's impossible to guess who the next great sports executive will be. It's particularly tough in lacrosse, where there are some unexpected factors. A key player may decide for personal reasons that he needs to either be traded closer to home or will retire. That can be good (Luke Wiles' acquisition last season) or bad (Sean Greenhalgh's move to North Carolina for a job before Buffalo had a chance to see him at 100 percent.)
Can't wait to see how this turns out.
