Mashantucket — The Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, intent on beefing up its police force as it prepares to assume greater responsibility for public safety at its casinos, has added three police officers, two of whom have decades of experience with municipal departments in the region.
The tribe announced the hirings Wednesday, saying the tribal council had sworn in the three officers as well as two dispatchers Monday during a ceremony in council chambers.
The new hires include former New London police Sgt. Patricia Lieteau, who recently retired from the city's force, and former Madison police Lt. Michael O'Connor, who four years ago faced charges of departmental rules violations and a recommendation he be fired following an investigation of misconduct among officers he supervised.
The charges against O'Connor were dismissed, according to Eric Thornburg, chairman of the Madison Board of Police Commissioners.
"Mr. O'Connor was a valued officer here in Madison and retired in good standing from our department," Thornburg said Wednesday in an email exchange. "… Lt. O'Connor was very well liked and admired by our citizens. He will be missed."
O'Connor retired in June after 24 years with the Madison force.
Also sworn in as a police officer by the Mashantuckets was Gary Coates, a member of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head, in Aquinnah, Mass., on Martha's Vineyard, where he served as a ranger and co-emergency management manager of the tribe's Natural Resources Department. His experience includes SWAT team, EMT and firefighter service, as well as training in terrorism response tactics, hazardous materials and FEMA Emergency Management, the Mashantuckets said.
Sworn in as dispatchers were Stacy Walker, who lives in Mashantucket with her husband, a tribal member, and their two children, and Gregory Devore, a Ledyard resident. Walker attended Griswold High School and graduated from Ridley-Lowell Business and Technical Institute with an accounting certificate. Devore has certifications in fire, EMT and hazardous materials training, and served as a lieutenant in the Gardner Lake Volunteer Fire Department before joining Ledyard Ambulance.
With the hirings, the Mashantucket police department has 14 officers and eight dispatchers, said William Satti, the tribe's director of public affairs.
New London Patrolman Todd Lynch, president of the local police union, said Lieteau would be sorely missed in the city.
"Not only was she a very good officer, she was our training sergeant, responsible for all training and certification within the department," he said. "She has a wealth of experience and knowledge."
Lynch said Lieteau was a rarity among New London police officers — a native of the city who attended city schools and graduated from New London High School.
Retired New London police Capt. William Dittman is serving as the Mashantucket police department's interim chief. He was named to the post in July, about six weeks after the resignation of the department's last chief, Dan Collins.
Collins' resignation came amid questions about whether the department was ready to assume a greater role inside the tribe's Foxwoods Resort Casino and MGM Grand at Foxwoods, where it shares jurisdiction with state police.
Both the Mashantuckets and the Mohegan Tribe, which owns Mohegan Sun, have discussed with state officials their desire to reduce the number of state police officers assigned to the casinos at the tribes' expense. Covering the casinos with tribal police officers would be far less costly for the tribes.
The state has indicated that tribal police would have to have the proper certifications before they could assume more responsibility at the casinos.
In June, a Mohegan tribal official said the Mohegan tribal police department has 25 officers and that all of them have state certifications.

Capitol View Commentary: Friday, June 7, 2013
By Pat Nolan, Senior Vice President, DVL Public Relations & Advertising
June 7, 2013
As we predicted they would in last week's column, the Metro Council has approved Mayor Karl Dean's $1.8 billion operating budget for the next fiscal year, making few changes and in fact adding about a million bucks to the spending plan. And city leaders have done so with record speed, giving final approval on June 4, nearly four weeks ahead of schedule (budget approval deadline is June 30).
But in passing the budget, the Council also set up some future issues including one for immediate consideration (the AMP). It also resurrected a hot-button issue (the future of the State Fairgrounds) that had kind of been placed on the backburner. And finally, long term the Council set the parameters for any future property tax increases (most likely for the next mayor and council to consider after the 2015 elections).
D-Day for the AMP (the Bus Rapid Transit project linking West Nashville to East Nashville) appears to be next Tuesday, June 11 when the Council holds a special session. On the agenda will be approval of Metro's annual Capital Improvements Budget, something that must be done by law each year prior to June 15.
The Capital Improvements Budget is a planning document only. It does not spend or authorize any monies. However, unless a project is included in the Plan, the city cannot commit or spend any dollars on that capital (bricks and mortar) type development.
Sources tell me you can look for efforts by AMP opponents to delete the project out of the Capital Improvements Budget and perhaps out of the $300 million Capital project plan recommended by the administration of Mayor Karl Dean and which is also on the agenda for Council approval Tuesday night (although there is no deadline for the Council to act on the Capital Plan so a deferral is possible). There is $7.5 million in planning funds in the Capital Plan for the AMP which would only be spent if needed federal funds are given at least preliminary approval by Washington.
Cutting the AMP project out of the Capital Improvements Budget or the $300 million Capital Plan would be a serious setback for the AMP and for the Dean administration. It would be particularly difficult if the AMP is cut out of the Capital Budget because by law amending that plan during the year after it is adopted requires a two-thirds majority in the Council, a number which is always challenging to attain (27 votes) in such a large governing body (The Metro Council has 40 members).
It should also be noted that amending out or killing the AMP project does not require a particular majority in the Council such as 21 (a majority) or 27 (two thirds majority) votes. It would just take more yes votes than nos to kill the plan by amendment. Observers believe the Dean Administration has the votes for AMP funding approval (or it wouldn't be moving this critical project forward). But parliamentary rules make it critical for the Dean Team not only to maximize yes votes for the project but minimize council members abstaining from voting (and therefore in effect more or less voting against the project).
In passing the Mayor's operating budget on June 4, the Council for the first time included a $200,000 subsidy for the State Fairgrounds. But that doesn't mean the money will be quickly forthcoming (the Metro Fair Board actually wanted a lot more).
The budget has language that stipulates the Metro Council must "consider" the master plan the Council authorized and paid for a few months back (and which has been sitting on the political backburner ever since it was completed and presented). The master plan outlines a number of options for the future. They include renovating or improving the Fair facilities on site or moving the Fair and redeveloping the current Fairgrounds property for other uses (perhaps much like what Mayor Dean unsuccessfully advocated a few years back).
So does that mean the Council has to decide and approve what parts of the master plan to forward with and fund? Maybe or maybe not. Council Staff Director Jon Cooper told me all the Council has to do is consider the master plan. It does not have to "approve" or disapprove anything (despite reports in the media). What the Council also must do is, after considering the master plan (in whatever way it does that) is that it must then pass a separate resolution appropriating the $200,000 for use by the Fair Board.
A little confused? Yeah, me too. Does this have the likelihood of reopening a political Pandora's Box on the Fairgrounds issue? Sure looks possible. The next step is for Council leaders (Budget & Finance Chair Lonnell Mathews and Codes, Fair & Farmers Market committee chairman Bill Pridemore are the most likely ones) to decide what kind of legislation needs to be drafted and introduced for the Council to "consider the master plan." Then let's see what happens.
There do seem to me to be some constraints on Council action. I'm not sure the master plan contains real costs estimates for either remodeling the existing Fairgrounds or moving it and redeveloping the site for other uses. Also because of an amendment to the Metro Charter overwhelmingly approved by voters in 2011, any effort to demolish existing buildings on the Fairgrounds property would require a two-thirds approval vote by the Council. What about moving the Fairgrounds someplace else? Jon Cooper says he thinks that might take another Charter change (even though I seem to remember some recent state legislation that might open the door for that to be done). Oh boy, here we go again!
In approving the budget, the Metro Council also set the property tax rate for Nashville as it does every year. This year that rate had to be lowered from last year so that the required recent countywide property reappraisal doesn't cause a tax increase by itself (even though your tax bill could still go up if your property increased in value more than the countywide average of 6%).
The new lower property tax rate (USD/GSD combined) is important to keep in mind politically. It is now $4.51, down from $4.66. It is also 3 cents lower than the Metro Charter imposed cap on property tax rate of $4.69.
That means politically the next time there is an effort to raise property taxes (in all likelihood with a new Mayor and Metro Council in office sometime after the 2015 elections), the "spread" city leaders will have to deal with is less than 20 cents (18 cents more precisely). That's not much really and it is significantly lower that what recent tax increases have totaled. There may however be no other choice unless the Mayor and Council decide to seek a higher tax hike amount through a public referendum or go to court and seek to have the property tax cap in the Charter declared illegal.
Those are tough choices to be sure. But that's the parameters now set for future property tax decisions, and something all those looking to run for Mayor, Vice Mayor and Metro Council in 2015 ought to keep in mind as they make up their minds about running.
It won't be fun.
I guess that includes Nashville business executive and venture capitalist Stuart McWhorter who has told THE TENNESSEEAN's Michael Cass (June 6) that he is considering a mayoral run. McWhorter is the son of prominent health care guru Clayton McWhorter. It's not likely he has much political name recognition countywide. But the younger McWhorter does have the personal financial resources required to mount a campaign, and that alone could make him someone to watch (much like Phil Bredesen and Karl Dean in past mayoral races).
I don't normally get all that excited about a particular Metro capital project. But the $6 million in improvements planned for Centennial Park is different. It's not only Nashville's first public park (marking the site of Tennessee's Centennial Celebration in 1897), it's also the park where I grew up., I even learned to swim in Centennial Park before the city shamefully closed the pool there because it didn't want to integrate it.
Centennial is where I came to feed the ducks at Lake Watauga with my dad (I even once released a duck there I got for Easter because it had grown too large to stay in our house according to my mother). Later, when I went to Father Ryan High School on Elliston Place, all of the students thought the Park belonged to us since it was literally right next door. I also attended and performed concerts (Sing-Out South) at the Bandshell in the park too.
So I am thrilled to hear of the improvements being planned, including revamping Lake Watauga and bringing into the "daylight" a freshwater spring in the park that has been channeled underground for years. According to a TENNESSEEAN article (June 6), there will also be new gardens, groves, a meadow and a permanent outdoor venue (an amphitheater with permanent seating and a picnic lawn) for use by the very successful Musicians Corner program. I can't wait to see it all done by December, 2015 and bring my grandchildren there so they can enjoy this same special place that I did for so many years.
The latest polls (WALL STREET JOURNAL/NBC NEWS June 5) show that despite the ongoing trio of scandals bedeviling the administration of President Barack Obama, his job approval ratings remain steady (48%). The poll data indicates the public is not blaming the President personally for the problems although his standing among independent voters has dipped from 41% in February now down to 28%. That bears watching.
The controversies (the Benghazi attack , the IRS and the Justice Department's media probe) are not ending. In fact, another recent GOA report has given the IRS new problems to deal with besides how it has handled Tea Party Groups. Now it's the tax service's use of government dollars on lavish employee conferences and workshops that are being criticized. And there are concerns about the National Security Agency's collection of U.S. phone records (perhaps dating back seven years) of Verizon's 121 million customers.
As ranking member of the Foreign Relations Committee, Tennessee Senator Bob Corker has sent a letter to the White House asking the President for an explanation….and he wants it no later than Monday. Some critics are already saying the reason this kind of phone record snooping has been and is going on (beginning back in the Bush administration), is something Senator Corker should already understand. Such broad data searches are permitted under the Patriot Act to combat potential terror attacks they say.
And now comes some late news that the government has also been taping into the server sites for all the major internet and phone companies for data mining purposes in the name of protecting national security. The President is defending the programs telling reporters: "We have to make choices as a society…..you can't have 100 per cent security and also then have 100 per cent privacy and zero inconvenience…They (the programs) help us prevent terrorist attacks." The President added he thinks the efforts (which are not listening to phone calls he says) are worth the "modest encroachments on privacy."
Let's see how that plays in the polls.
There's already legislation pending in the Tennessee General Assembly on how to spend any new revenue that results from the passage of the federal Marketplace Fairness Act. The problem is the bill is stuck in the U.S. House of Representatives and may never become law.
But if it does, according to an article by Tom Humphrey of THE KNOXVILLE JOURNAL (June 6), State Representative Frank Niceley wants the money generated by such a sales tax from out-of-state internet retailers to go to lower the current sales tax on groceries. Now it's not clear if whatever monies will result (estimated to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars) will be enough to completely the eliminate the tax on groceries (which has been slightly lowered a couple of times the last few years). But the internet sales tax revenue would likely put a very big dent in the grocery tax if it comes to pass.
Niceley is so far the only state official with a specific plan for what to do with the internet tax money. But others such as Governor Bill Haslam, Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey and House Speaker Beth Harwell (all of whom support the Marketplace Fairness bill saying it's a tax already owed by out of state business) have indicated general support for using the any new revenue to reduce current state taxes, although Ramsey says he prefers it go to further reduce the state Hall Income tax on stocks and bonds dividends.
Niceley would like to reduce the Hall Tax too if there's enough money to go around. Actually, Niceley says he's really opposed to Congress passing the Marketplace Fairness Act. "I don't want the federal government getting their grubby hands on the sales tax," he told Tom Humphrey. He also wants to make sure any dollar generated by the internet tax is matched dollar for dollar in tax reductions. If the federal act passes, Niceley's bill could be a very popular piece of legislation next year. Just think about it: a major tax reduction in an election year…that sounds like incumbent re-election material to me.

August is a special time of year, full of new beginnings. Whether it is the first day of kindergarten, middle school, high school or college, each new school year brings excitement and new challenges for families, students, teachers and administrators. Pat and I have two kids in college, three starting a new school year, and our eldest daughter is a teacher. Our family is getting ready for an exciting new school year.
As a former HCYFL coach, I appreciate Tommie Kendall's HCL article last week to raise local awareness of the sudden drop in numbers of our youth football participation, particularly in the Eastern Elementary School District.
A big factor that always seems to result in low numbers of kids playing for the Eastern Colts is the fact that the district covers such a wide, rural area. Some may feel it's too much of a drive to get their kids to practice every day or that the cost involved is too much to pay.
Do you remember the days when cruising was a weekly event?
Or the days of the Eminence v. Henry County football games?
Or how about B&D Video or Lola's Restaurant in Eminence?
Or, better yet, do you remember the days of Big Henry?
If so, you're probably from Henry County.
It's the latest Facebook rage — community pages where folks share their favorite memories from the communities they grew up in. The memories are touching, funny, sad and some a smidge risque.
Pain was clearly etched on her face, and she gripped her daughter's hand like a vice while a registered nurse changed a wound dressing.
Within a few minutes the change was complete, the vacuum pump for the wound turned on and Mary did the strangest thing.
She thanked the RN despite the obvious pain she had just caused. "Thank you, hon," she said, squeezing the nurse's hand.
Mary is one of two women in my life who I am proud to call mother, though her title has a step- in front of it.
Our country is facing a debt crisis. The federal government currently borrows 40 cents of every dollar it spends. This year the government will spend $1.5 trillion more than it takes in, adding to a national debt that is already more than $14.3 trillion, two and a half times the size it was just a decade ago in 2001.
Summer is here and we're already seeing the dreaded headlines about children who are left inside hot cars, leading to heat stroke and even death.
Since 1998, at least 13 children in Kentucky have died as a result of being left inside sweltering vehicles while their parents or caregivers shop, go to work or run errands. It's just another example of the abuse and neglect that plagues Kentucky's children.
One of the Commonwealth's most famous authors, Jesse Stuart, once wrote that "if these United States can be called a body, Kentucky can be called its heart."
He was referring to more than just our location, of course, but his words have proven prophetic in a geographic sense as well. It turns out that our literal place in the world is a great place to be when it comes to helping the world get what it needs.
The Henry County Public Library would like to thank the fine people of Henry County and the surrounding areas for a truly magical month.
A few weeks ago, it would have been safe to say not a single foreign terrorist in the world could find Bowling Green, Kentucky, on a map. But after the ill-advised decision of the Obama Administration to try two foreign fighters in a civilian federal court in Bowling Green, they probably know where it is now.
Over the past few weeks, a broad bipartisan coalition of concerned local, state, and federal leaders have expressed deep concerns with the prospect of trying these enemy combatants in Kentucky.
This letter is for all the people that have had flowers, vases and wreaths stolen from a loved one's gravesite. It's as if we haven't had enough grief after losing someone that they add to the agony by taking these items. You will have to answer for these deeds on judgment day and hopefully you will think before you do this again!

To whoever is stealing flowers from the New Castle Cemetery: Many people like to keep flowers on the grave of family members. It is bad when you have to replace them two or three times a year because someone steals them. I know the wind blows them off sometimes, but other times people take them. I am sure everyone who has had flowers missing would appreciate it if you would stop.

One of the country's biggest challenges over the next few decades is ensuring that the "golden years" truly live up to their name for our older citizens.
As more Baby Boomers begin turning 65 – the first began celebrating that milestone birthday in January – this group of citizens promises to be a fastest-growing demographic for quite some time.
It was a seemingly innocuous comment. "I bought one of those Hot Pots," a friend said. "I got tired of waiting for the tea kettle to boil water."
It was a sign of many things, not the least of which is how my friend and I have changed, or how our ways have parted, in the last 10 years.
Waiting for a tea kettle to boil is among my favorite things in the morning.
Each year parents have the opportunity to be elected as a parent representative for the HCHS School Based Decision Making Council (SBDM).
The council is composed of the principal, three teachers and two parent representatives.
This year marked the 100th anniversary of Boy Scouts in the United States as well as the year that I completed the requirements necessary to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout. I belong to BSA troop 109 which is sponsored by St. Francis in the Field Church in Prospect, but I live in Smithfield and wanted to thank all of my friends in Henry County who really helped make it possible for me to become an Eagle.

An 11-year-old Nashville student has invented a device that could save lives.
Andrew Pelham told Nashville's News 2 he felt compelled to do something after learning around 38 children die each year from being left in hot cars.
On his Web site, Andrew specifically mentions the story about a Nashville family who lost their baby boy last summer after he was accidentally left in his mother's minivan.
"I'm hoping if I can save one life with my invention, I can say that my invention was successful," Andrew told Nashville's News 2.
Andrew entered The Rubber Band Contest for Young Inventors, which is held each year in Akron, Ohio, the rubber capital of the United States.
The only rule for contestants is that they must use rubber bands in their invention. Andrew thought it might be a great, cheap way to tackle his goal to help parents remember when they have a child in the back seat.
Andrew created the E-Z Baby Saver and won second place, taking home $500.
He used his prize money to buy a laptop and create his Web site.
The E-Z Baby Saver is a simple device made of duct tape and rubber bands.
The device stops parents in their tracks so they are unable to walk away from the car when a child is inside.
It is a strap that stretches from the back seat to the front and attaches to the driver's side door.
To learn how to make your own E-Z Baby Saver, read directions on Andrew's Web site.

Equal access is a right of students with disabilities, but it requires students to advocate for this right. Students must initiate the request for an accommodation and provide current documentation and bring forth additional requests or issues. The Director of the Center for Equal Access will work with the students on learning to advocate for themselves. Unlike high school, it is the college student's responsibility to assure his or her needs are begin met and whether or not he/she is succeeding academically. College students are considered adults.
The College of St. Scholastica must provide reasonable accommodations to "level the playing field," but the student must be able to meet all academic requirements and abide by the Student Code of Conduct.
Academic requirements are not waived due to a student's disability. Students must be able to meet the academic requirements with the approved accommodations. Auxiliary aids include adaptations needed to make the College campus and programs accessible. The Center is not obligated to provide the same accommodations received in high school or other colleges, or all the accommodations recommended by a medical professional. No accommodations will be provided until adequate documentation is received. It is the student's responsibility to plan ahead if the accommodation or auxiliary aid requires a long lead-time, such as a sign language interpreter.

Our strategic plan 2012-2016 identifies progressive MS as one of the
three key priority areas for MSIF's international MS research going
forward (along with paediatric MS and stem cells). This important
research area has also been identified as a key focus for our global
fundraising strategy.
International Progressive MS Collaborative
Since July of 2011, MSIF and volunteer and staff leaders from the MS
Societies of Canada, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the
United States, have been engaged in discussions centred on the creation
of an international collaboration that would leverage financial and
intellectual resources to meet the unmet needs of people living with the
progressive forms of MS.
This group, whose mission is to expedite the development of effective
disease modifying and symptom management therapies for progressive
forms of MS, is now engaging the international MS research community to
develop strategies and priorities in the following areas for research
related to progressive forms of MS:
• Experimental models for improved preclinical evaluation of novel therapies,
• Targets/pathways identification and validation/repurposing of existing therapeutic agents,
• Proof-of-concept clinical trial strategies,
• Clinical outcome measures and trial designs,
• Symptom management therapies and rehabilitation strategies.
The collaborative has convened working groups, focused on each of the
priority research areas identified in its initial discussions. Working
groups will be chaired by a research leader and will draw on expertise
of additional experts from academia and industry.
These groups have been tasked with identifying gaps in the priority
areas and suggesting funding strategies and collaborative models to most
effectively address these needs.
The work groups shared their
findings and recommendations at a meeting on 1-2 November 2012 in
London. The Steering committee of the collaborative is now in the
process of integrating these recommendations into a systematic,
pragmatic and comprehensive work-plan moving forward in developing this
challenging and ambitious initiative.
In an effort to create momentum around the critical issue of progressive
MS, the collaborative also intends to host an International Scientific
Conference on Progressive MS, scheduled to take place in Italy on 6-8
February 2013.

What to Avoid When Buying Drugs Online
Not all online pharmacies are equal. Here's what to look for and what to avoid when buying drugs online.
By Martin Downs
Reviewed By Brunilda Nazario
Not all online pharmacies are equal. Some adhere to the same standards that brick-and-mortar drugstores do. But many other sites operate in the margins of the law, or well outside of it, and authorities are keen to pull the plug on them.
"We don't have any concerns with a legitimate Internet pharmacy," says Kristina Lunner, director of federal government affairs for the American Pharmacists Association.
But the few trustworthy pharmacy sites share a marketplace crowded with dealers who, if their practices were made plain, you might not trust to sell you a newspaper, let alone fill your prescriptions.
"There's been a proliferation of illegitimate or rogue drug sellers who are using the Internet," Lunner says, being careful not to call them pharmacies per se.
You can buy prescription drugs online in basically one of three ways.
First, a site may fill your order the traditional way -- only after you present a doctor's prescription. You either have to send the prescription to them by fax or mail, or have the doctor call it in.
Moving into murkier territory, there are so-called "prescribing sites." They will take your order after you fill out an online questionnaire detailing your medical history, or after a brief phone consultation. Either way, a doctor working for the site reviews your information and writes the prescription for you (or not, depending on details you've provided and what drug you're ordering). You pay for this service, generally in the form of an additional "consultation fee."
Some sites will fill any order, no questions asked, no prescription required. This is simply illegal in the U.S., so such sites are likely to be foreign.
Problems With Online Prescribing
While the practice is marginally legal, there is wide opposition to online prescribing within the medical community. In 1999, the American Medical Association took the stance that online prescribing "falls well below a minimum standard of medical care."
The FDA agrees with the AMA, and the Federation of State Medical Boards in 2000 came to the conclusion that prescribing drugs solely on the basis of an online questionnaire amounts to "unprofessional conduct."
The argument against Internet prescribing boils down to this: Online questionnaires or phone consultations are inferior to a physical exam and face-to-face interview. You can easily lie or forget relevant information, and your actual physical condition isn't apparent to the doctor writing the prescription.
"Do you have high blood pressure?" a form may ask. Maybe last time you saw a doctor you didn't, but the remote doctor reviewing your form cannot put a cuff on your arm to find out.
"Online questionnaires do not address all of the potential dangers of taking medication," Lunner says.
Although a form may catch an obvious conflict between your medical history and a given drug, you are essentially prescribing it to yourself. You can't guarantee that you'll hear from a doctor or pharmacist if there may be a better choice for you or if you should try another treatment approach.
"It's extremely important to remember that the whole process of patients getting access to prescription pharmaceuticals is deliberately mediated by professionals with a significant amount of experience," says Caroline Loew, PhD, vice president of scientific and regulatory affairs at the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America.
Lawmakers have recently moved to ban online prescribing. Earlier this year, Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., put forward a bill to that effect, known as the "Ryan Haight Act," named after a California teen who died from an overdose of prescription narcotics that he ordered from online pharmacies.
The bill was referred to a Senate committee headed by Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H. Gayle Osterberg, a spokeswoman for Gregg's office, said the Senate probably won't vote on it this year, and that the bill's provisions will likely end up wrapped into broader legislation on importing prescription drugs from Canada.
"To the extent that people want to talk about allowing importation, we can't do that without also addressing the question of the Internet," she says. "Most Americans do not live within a short bus ride to Canada, so we have to assume that they will continue to turn to the Internet."

The U.S. Women's National Team took firm control of Group G and assured itself a spot in the 2012 Olympic quarterfinals with a 3-0 victory on Saturday against Colombia at Hampden Park.
U.S. midfielder Megan Rapinoe scored her first Olympic goal in the 33rd minute that proved to be the game-winner while Abby Wambach and Carli Lloyd added second-half goals to pace the USA.
With their second straight victory, the U.S. sits atop Group G with six points and will head into its final group match against Korea DPR on July 31 (5:15 p.m. local / 12:15 p.m. ET live on NBC Sports Network) at Old Trafford in Manchester needing a win or a tie to clinch first place in the group. In the other Group G match of the night, France hammered the North Koreans, 5-0.
Wambach and Lloyd both found the net for a second straight game, upping Lloyd's career Olympics goals to four and Wambach's to six, pushing her past legendary forwards Mia Hamm and Tiffeny Milbrett for most goals by a U.S. player in Olympic history.
"The things that went well were the three goals," said U.S. head coach Pia Sundhage. "Again, Abby (Wambach) and (Megan) Rapinoe showed the way. That's one thing I'm really happy about, the three goals and we didn't concede any...I'll give Colombia credit for the way they played, they made it hard for us and we couldn't find the rhythm in the first half. At the same time, we still have the ability to score goals and that's huge. You gain confidence by knowing that. At the end of the day, whoever is playing against us, we are prepared and fit and we will play on and on, so that's a message to the team even though the first half was a little bit off."
In a choppy match marked by physical play, the USA showed superior skill and athleticism from the get-go and created several promising moments in the first 15 minutes. U.S. midfielder Lauren Cheney poked the ball into the net in the ninth minute, but she was whistled for a foul after tugging down Colombia captain Natalia Gaitan before placing her shot into the goal. In fact, three times during the game the USA put the ball in the net, but had all three negated by correctly call infractions.
In the 12th minute, Rapinoe found Wambach to her left and Wambach's left-footed strike was saved well by Colombia goalkeeper Sandra Sepulveda, who leapt to push the ball over the goal.
The Americans struggled to find a good attacking rhythm and were less than precise on several services into the penalty area, but finally broke through in the 33rd minute when U.S. forward Alex Morgan was able to latch onto a free ball in Colombia's defensive third. Morgan dished to Rapinoe on the left. She took a couple of touches to get the ball to her right foot and then split Colombia defenders Arias and Kelis Peduzine with her bending shot, sending the ball over Sepulveda and underneath the crossbar into the dead-center of the goal for a 1-0 lead.
After scoring twice against France on July 25, Morgan did not find the net against the Colombians, but did pick up her first Olympic assist and was a menacing presence with her speed and strength all game long.
The physicality perhaps reached its zenith in the 39th minute when Wambach went down in a heap while making a long run to the Colombian penalty area. Replays showed that Peduzine struck Wambach's right eye with her right hand in an off-the-ball incident that was apparently not seen by the match officials.
Rapinoe nearly had a second goal in first-half stoppage time after Heather O'Reilly looped a cross from the right wing to the far post where Morgan touched it back across the goal. The pass had a little too much pace on it for Rapinoe, but she was able to redirect her shot on goal, only to see it cleared off the line just in time by Gaitan.
Rapinoe continued her strong effort in the second half putting shots on frame in the 58th and 60th minutes that were gobbled up by Sepulveda.
Despite a few anxious moments on Colombian set plays when it was still 1-0, the Americans caught a better attacking rhythm in the second half and were able to kill off the game with goals in the 74th and 77th minutes. The first came from Wambach, who accelerated onto a world class give-and-go pass from Tobin Heath into the right side of the penalty box, and with two players hanging on her, slid to knock home her 140th career goal from 14 yards out. She now sits 18 behind Hamm on the world's all-time scoring list.
The USA clinched the match in the 77th minute, moving the ball around superbly on a sequence from left to right with some quick-touch passing from Morgan, to Kelley O'Hara, to Cheney and then to Rapinoe in the center of the pitch. Rapinoe then provided a through ball to Lloyd a few yards above the box and she raced onto the service for tucking her low shot into the left corner of the goal past the onrushing Sepulveda.
The U.S. defense - led by captain Christie Rampone -- was able to almost totally contain the scrappy Colombians over the entire 90 minutes, and while the USA did give up several free kicks in dangerous spots, the South Americans couldn't take advantage. Colombia's attack was able to muster only one shot on goal during the match. That came in the 38th minute when Catalina Usme took a hopeful strike from way outside the box and U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo made the routine grab at the right post.

The Tigers let a 2-to-0 lead get away in the seventh when the Orioles scored 3 runs and Detroit went on to lose yesterday afternoon 4-to-2 at Baltimore in the rubber game of the 3 game series. The Tigers, who have the day off today, have dropped five of their last six games, but still top the American League Central by a half game over the Indians. Rick Porcello took the loss for Detroit. Chris Davis belted his major league leading 20th home run off Porcello to kick start the three-run seventh. Prince Fielder belted a solo shot and a double for Detroit, but Miguel Cabrera hit into a pair of double plays and also struck out once to go along with a single.
The Tigers begin a 6 game home stand tomorrow night starting with a 3-game series against Tampa Bay. The White Sox were shutout 2-to-0 yesterday at Oakland while the Cubs lost 8-to-4 to the Diamondbacks at Wrigley Field.

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Seven-time Tour de France-winning cyclist Lance Armstrong is considering the impact of an admission to the use of performance-enhancing drugs during his racing career, according to reports by the Wal Street Journal, New York Times and others. Armstrong, with an image burnished by his having overcome testicular cancer en route to his record-breaking run of victories in cycling's marquee event, became one of the most highly sought product endorsers in all of sports. When the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency last year stripped Armstrong of all cycling honors, those spokesman relationships, most notably one with athletics-gear company Nike NKE, -1.68% also vanished. Armstrong's verified Twitter feed has had no posts since Wednesday.

We've talked enough about how running is a great way to keep fit and lose weight. But running in the Indian summer is no joke. So, here are tips on how to keep running in the mean summer months!
1. Hydrate: This cannot be stressed more, but you need to ensure you are well hydrated. Drink 1/2 litre of water before you run. Do this 20 minutes before you actually run, so its not weighing you down.
After you finish your run, get a drink that replenishes you- get a salt and sweet fresh lime soda- gives you electrolytes, vitamins, water and some carbohydrates to help your muscles recover.
More tips below..
2. Sweat wicking clothes: These clothes help keep your skin dry, so its easier to run. Cotton clothing absorbs and holds moisture, so it weighs you down and sticks to your skin. Sweat wicking clothes available in stores- big brands as well as non-branded. Get yourself some!
3. Sunscreen: Wear it and protect yourself from the sun! For the Indian skin, SPF 15 sunscreen lotion should be good.
4. Sports Drinks: For advanced runners- if you're going to run over 45 minutes, carry a sports drink with you- for replenishing carbs and provide hydration
5. No Brainer: But you should try to run in the evening or early morning. Early morning is a little better, since the ground is a little cooler than the evening.
Need a place to run in Delhi? Here's a list- Siri Fort Sports Complex Running, Running Track- Jahanpanah City Forest, Running at Lodhi Garden, Hauz Khas Deer Park Running routes. These are all in South Delhi and Central Delhi.Author Information - this article is written by a wellness coach @ FitHo

Sean Avery's words embarrassed his teammates Tuesday. But his suspension thrilled them. And many Stars are hoping that "indefinitely" means "forever."
On camera last night, you could see the frustration and anger in the Dallas players' eyes, but they chose their words carefully. Today, I spoke to three Stars players, who were blunt in their assessment of Avery. They agreed to be quoted as long as their names were not used.
"We hope it's the last time we ever see him," says one veteran.
"Our locker room is the happiest it has been all year right now," says another player.
Avery's weak attempt at stand-up comedy/trash-talk in Calgary was the last straw for many teammates.He told them in the dressing room he was going to do something outrageous, saying, "Watch this boys," a couple of minutes before he stepped before the microphones.
They weren't shocked. Nothing Avery does shocks anymore. They were just angry.
"An apology (to the team) won't work," says a third player. "There isn't much he can say to change the way we feel right now. We have a lot of pride in this organization. He isn't welcome here anymore."
Avery has been an outcast in the dressing room from the start of the season. He wears headphones almost all the time, and rarely speaks to anyone, often working on his computer until minutes before practice. That might be tolerated if he (and the team) were performing well on the ice. But he hasn't been, with just three goals so far.
"He's been undermining everything we do," says the veteran. "He doesn't pay attention; he's not smart enough to play our system. He can't do some drills properly. He says it's because he's 'independent.'Really, he's just not smart enough."
Dallas forward Brad Richards did go on record, but chose not to add fuel to the fire. Still, his feelings are clear.
"We don't want to talk about him anymore. Hopefully, it will be handled and that will be the end of it."
Sources say Dallas owner Tom Hicks is already exploring every possible way to get rid of Avery. Trading him might be impossible right now, because of his extensive baggage, and a four-year contract at almost four million dollars per season. The Stars could elect to send him down, and since Dallas does not have an AHL affiliate, they could try to assign him to.... anywhere.
One of the Stars suggested Finland or Russia would be good choices.

Thinking Ahead - Some cost cutting, pest-controlling and planning points to mull over
< return to Cultral Techniques page
Orchard Nutrition
This year, growers are examining their fertilizer costs more than ever. Balancing your orchard's nutritional requirements against costs, while factoring in the crop load, has become increasingly difficult - nearly impossible, in fact. However, growers realize that this year's crop is already made. Fertilizer inputs must be in place to generate the growth of fruiting spurs for next year's crop.
Certainly, with what appears to be a lighter crop load, nitrogen requirements may be proportionally less. But that consolation may be a bit hollow; oil prices are at virtually all-time highs, which translate into higher fertilizer costs. Unfortunately, your trees don't care. Their requirements for good health remain constant with only some fine-tuning relative to crop load.
The take home message from most advisors is, "If at all possible, maximize inputs: fine tune nitrogen applications; make sure your potash level is adequate; keep micro-nutrient levels appropriate." Of course, apply this advice within the confines of affordability. The bottom line is that it will pay off.
With the 2000 crop apt to be one of the most challenging in recent history, almond growers will have an opportunity to demonstrate the resourcefulness they have exhibited in the past - and, no doubt, will continue to demonstrate in the future.
One of the key elements that growers are relatively quick to remove from their nutrition list is potassium. Certainly, it's expensive, but most progressive growers recognize it's also cost effective. Potassium is critical for good fruitwood development. It also contributes to better overall health of the tree and, generally, orchards with optimum potash levels have more consistent bud sets and crops. The tree mines a lot of this important element from the soil. Unfortunately, fertilization programs do not always replace what was absorbed or apply potassium in the amount needed by the crop.
A grower may choose from several methods of applying potash.
- Potassium chloride - the lowest-cost method, but chlorine toxicity can result if the material doesn't leach and is left in the root zone.
- Potassium sulfate - safe, stable, a little more costly and the material is not very soluble.
- Potassium nitrate - extremely soluble, immediately available to the trees, but fairly expensive
- Liquid Potash - fairly safe, stable, good maintenance source, somewhat more expensive on a per-unit basis.
- Foliar Potassium - can relieve symptoms temporarily.
Variety Selections
Each year, during the spring, growers begin to make variety selections for the following year's plantings. Nurseries generally provide appropriate categories of varieties that fit individual grower's situations. However, it is important to recognize that not all varieties are compatible with certain classes from the bloom, harvest, and marketing standpoints.
Marketing and harvest compatibility are key components in the decision process, and are especially important to keep in mind when replanting in established orchards and planning close plantings. Make sure the varieties you select do not present the potential for mixing two classes of almonds. This could be a costly mistake. It takes only l0 percent of an incompatible variety to change the grade.
Here's a checklist of considerations that may influence your choices.
- Make sure that the selection will be compatible with other classes from a harvest standpoint. Some varieties will harvest so closely to another class that it may be impossible to separate them. This is particularly critical in close planting.
- Not all pollinators follow classic literature when they bloom.
- Check to see which marketing category each pollinator fits into.
- Make sure the pollinator is a desirable nut from a marketing standpoint.
- If it's a new nut - research it thoroughly.
- Finally - please - check with your Blue Diamond® Field Supervisor. He will be glad to provide objective input to help you and your nurseryman make a decision that will best suit your specific situation.
Ground Squirrels
In much of the almond growing area throughout state, control of the California ground squirrel is not a high priority. However, if you happen to be one of the lucky growers who provide a homey habitat for these furry "friend," your tolerance for the beasts is likely limited. Ground squirrels are the most destructive vertebrate pests found in almond orchards. They are energetic diggers, creating large mounds and burrows that can be extremely bothersome, especially at harvest. They often feed on bark, buds and blossoms, but of greater concern, they can practically strip a mature tree of its crop.
Squirrels are most active and reproduce in the spring. Adults will forage then and again in the fall. The best control methods in the spring include fumigation and trapping; in summer and fall try baiting. Here are some tips:
- BAIT STATIONS can work well for ground squirrels. However, bait stations must provide a steady supply from which the squirrel can regularly feed, until the material has had time to take effect. Since the bait is an anticoagulant, its effects are cumulative. It is important to make sure that the bait station never runs out of bait so that the squirrels do not change their feeding habits, because, if a squirrel does not feed for around 48 hours, the level of toxicity within the animal is greatly diluted and the material loses a great deal of its effect. The toxic level in the pest must then be built up again. Another important point is that acceptance is greatly reduced when the material is not fresh or has become moldy or spoiled.
- FUMIGATION works very well when all burrow openings can be sealed and there is sufficient soil moisture to prevent the escape of toxic gas through cracked or dry soil. This method is generally most effective in late spring or fall when the soil is still fairly moist. The procedure is relatively simple:
- Seal all untreated openings.
- Place appropriate amount of tablets in burrow.
- Plug treated hole with newspaper wad.
- Cover treated burrow with soil.
- TRAPS can provide a fairly safe method of control, particularly where it is imprudent to use toxic materials. Unfortunately, traps require constant monitoring and control is most effective at a lower threshold.
Peach Twig Borer (PTB)
Historically, most of the serious reject damage in a given crop was caused by navel orange worm (NOW). The Peach Twig Borer (PTB), on the other hand, may not be a serious pest statewide, but if you happen to be in an area where it is prevalent, it is of great concern. Fortunately, it is easy to trap and monitor, and identify. The pest is about 3/8 inch long, has a black head, and a chocolate-brown body with white stripes between each body segment. Where infestations occur, you will find flagging in the young growing shoot. About the only other flagging pest the PTB could be confused with is the Oriental Fruit Moth larva, but it has a cream-colored body.
A little bit about the biology of PTB: There are usually four generations of PTB. Over-wintering larvae emerge and develop in green spring shoots. Then they emerge. The first generation of moths lays eggs from mid-April through May, which is when many growers target their first in-season sprays (other than b.T. sprays) to knock down the first brood of larvae when they emerge. The second brood's larvae emerge from mid-Jun through July to feed on green tissue and nuts. There can be two more broods, one of which can still feed on exposed almonds in August.
As you can see, PTB can be prolific. Nevertheless, many growers have recently decided not to apply a dormant spray. Arguments can be made pro or con on that issue, but the fact remains that a well-placed (good coverage) dormant spray has great efficacy in controlling PTB. If numerous growers are not targeting PTB but are treating specifically for NOW, we could be in for a rise in PTB incidence. If you suspect or have identified PTB to be the predominant cause of rejects in your recent deliveries, a well timed spring spray can be an effective tool to control the pest before it builds up.

Because here, doors aren't only opened—every door is open. It's this limitless possibility and can-do mindset that helps transform students into game changers—faculty, into groundbreakers—and inspires people far and wide to support this infectious spirit of optimism. These are just a few of the individuals that refused to settle for the status quo.

We editorialized last summer that adding more events to the Schweizer Fest would help increase attendance at Tell City's annual celebration. So we were pleased to hear that the 2008 fest will include a musical play again after none was held in 2007 for the first time in 21 years.
The play chosen for this year is "1776," a story about the founding of the United States that was generally well received when it was released as a Broadway play and a movie.
I nearly bit the dust the other day. Or should I say I nearly bit the ice. I was walking down the sidewalk from my house to the mailbox with letters Sunday evening when my right foot found a small patch just a few inches in width. Both feet suddenly came out from under me, the letters in my hand flew skyward and I came crashing down back first on the hard concrete.
The Indiana Senate passed Senate Bill 235 last week. If adopted, the law would allow counties to create new voting centers which would let residents cast their ballots at one location, regardless of which precinct they live in.
The elderly man hunched over from age, shuffling down the sidewalk. The older lady in the wheelchair with oxygen feeding through her nostrils.
Those are the faces of heart disease in America, aren't they?
Look at the face on this column mug. A healthy-looking 40-year-old woman. That's also the face of heart disease and a heart-attack survivor.
Each year, the Indiana Department of Education, schools and newspapers across the state work together to publish education report cards for our local communities.
The annual performance reports are one part of a continuing effort to encourage Hoosiers to become more knowledgeable about their schools and for schools to become more accountable to the public they serve.
The reports include the most recent data available on test scores, attendance and graduation rates, school safety, teacher salaries, expenditures and more.
I suspect I'm not alone in occasionally pondering what Perry County may look like one or two decades from now.
A recent meeting of the Perry County Convention and Visitors Bureau, reported on the front page of Thursday's News, sparked my imagination yet again with discussion of how the county's location in the state and its good highways give it advantages in attracting tourists.
By midyear, close to 35 million American families should have a little extra cash to spend, thanks to a quickly negotiated plan of tax rebates our government's leaders hope will stimulate a teetering U.S. economy.
What is it with drugs, anyway?
Yet another meth lab has turned up in Tell City. Thinking about the presence of drugs and drug use in a small community such as ours, and how many other small and large communities throughout the United States are facing the same issues, is truly mind-boggling.
Billions and billions of dollars of public money have been spent in the war on drugs over the past several decades, and yet, illegal drug use continues to be one of the biggest cash businesses in the United States. The question is, why?
An editorial published in the Jan. 14 News incorrectly reported payments to Cannelton firefighters as monthly. Regular members of the city's volunteer fire department receive $800 per year, plus $200 for clothing and fuel.
Although the Indiana General Assembly has been working since Jan. 8, most Statehouse observers feel the session doesn't begin until the governor delivers his annual State of the State speech.
Gov. Mitch Daniels outlined his goals for 2008 in a half-hour speech in the Indiana House chamber Jan. 15 that focused on his plans to provide additional property-tax relief.
The next day, the governor testified on his tax relief program (House Bill 1001) before the House Ways and Means Committee, the legislative panel that serves as the starting point on discussions.
Tell City's sesquicentennial is fast approaching and as you may have noticed at the bottom of today's front page, we've begun a countdown to the weeklong celebration's Aug. 2 opening day.
At his first council meeting as Cannelton's mayor, Morris "Smokey" Graves faced opposition to his decision to eliminate two positions from that city's fire department. The meeting seemed more like a one-man show than democracy when the mayor announced that assistant- and deputy-chief positions, held by Charlie Little and Johnny Young respectively, were being eliminated to streamline the fire department.
In my day, my mother smoked, drank a little and worked up to the day I was born.
Our house had an outhouse, an outside pump, a coal stove, four rooms and was climate controlled. (It was hot in the summer and cold in the winter.)
I slept in a crib until I was literally too big for it. It was brightly painted with lead-based paints.
There were no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets.
I rode in cars without the aid of car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags, and when we went to town the whole family rode in the back of the pickup truck.
Winter has left me sleepy. Maybe the shortage of sunlight is to blame for my missing energy. Or perhaps it's simply the cold that makes me want to stay under the covers some mornings.
Even the alluring aroma of coffee from the machine I program before bed fails to rouse my sleepy spirits. I'm not like this the rest of the year. I could fault old age. But I blame winter.
I have been daydreaming of spring, flowers, T-shirts and green grass. But I know winter has to run its course first. Until then, I'll cope with the long nights and cold.
We applaud new Tell City Mayor Barbara Ewing's decision to retain all the city's current department heads, just as we did former Mayor Gayle Strassell's decision to do so four years ago when she was inaugurated.
Many of the department heads have served under Democrat Bill Goffinet, Republican Strassell and now Democrat Ewing. One, city recreation director Maurice Harpenau, also served under Democrat Walter Hagedorn.
Looking for ways to save money in 2008? With financial markets on edge, the cost of just about everything climbing and recession worries making headlines, who couldn't use a few extra dollars at the end of each month? Here are a few ideas to ponder in the new year.
With the new year just a few hours away, it's an appropriate time to tip our hats to the men and women working their final day in elected office. They deserve our thanks for jobs well done and while they'll be leaving the public limelight, their years of dedication will benefit us all for years to come.
It's a good thing Santa generally makes his visits at night. A lot of us would be in trouble if the old man came knocking while we were awake and brought hard questions instead of a bag filled with gifts.
I'd be rather poorly prepared to find Santa at my door, with those all-knowing nods of the chin and probing eyes. I'd probably pretend not to be home and ignore the knocks and jingle bells.
Editor's Note: In the months before the Christmas of 1897, an 8-year-old girl named Virginia O'Hanlon wrote a letter to the New York Sun, asking if there really was a Santa Claus. Edward P. Mitchell gave the assignment to Francis P. Church, whose reply to Virginia appeared in the Sept. 21, 1897, edition of the Sun. Virginia's letter and Church's reply, as it appeared in the Sun, are reprinted below. Virginia O'Hanlon Douglas died May 13, 1971.
Is there a Santa Claus?
Each year, weeks before Thanksgiving, the large department stores in cities and suburbs put up their Christmas decorations. Then, slowly, but surely, Christmas decorations begin to appear in neighborhoods.
This year, when the decorations began lighting up our street at night, I asked a few friends about some of their family Christmas traditions and customs. In response to a question about hanging up Christmas stockings, I was told this was sometimes done only on Christmas Eve.

Garry Tan
Garry Tan, a tech investor and former cofounder of Posterous, recently commissioned a survey of 13- to 25-year-olds on their social media habits and found that younger users were using Tumblr far more than Facebook.
Tan used Survata, a startup, to do the survey and it's based on 1,038 respondents. Survata cofounder Aaron Wenger wrote, "Usage levels were higher among 13-18yr olds than 19-25yr olds for every social network. The biggest differences were for Snapchat (13% for 13-18yr olds vs 4% for 19-25yr olds) and Instagram (21% vs 11%)."
