I Heart Rutland: Find the joy here and spread itMarch 06,2014
Anna Dunton-GallagherI was born at the Rutland Regional Medical Center. I attended Rutland High School. I began my veterinary career on Stratton Road. My birth, advanced schooling and career all started within one mile of each other. This is a fact of which I am and will always be proud.
I left the region to attend eight years of schooling in big cities, warm climates and even other countries. I chose to return. I could have made more money, seen more things and done more shopping elsewhere. But my heart lies in Rutland.
I love driving down the streets when the flowering crabapples are in full bloom. I love walking my dog around my neighborhood and yes, I live in the northwest section and saying hello to my neighbors. I love seeing my clients in the grocery store and knowing as much about their families as I do about their pets.
Our downtown restaurants are flourishing, as are our local farms. The farmers market is perfection: community coming together to support each other, converse and eat. I can walk seven minutes to Pine Hill Park and be transported into a world where I can lose myself in nature. I can take a long lunch break and go snowboarding.
The Paramount Theatre offers world-class entertainment while still hosting local events and even free screening of sporting events. This fall, I watched the final World Series game at the Paramount; the room charged with pure joy and community.
Our hospital is top of the line. Though we dont consider this until we have to, we are fortunate to have advanced medical care in our backyard.
Rutland, like every city, has problems. The difference is that our population is a very mixed one. Instead of other communities where drugs and crimes are relegated to a specific part of town, our poverty lives next to affluence. This is what makes us unique, makes the problem difficult and gives me hope. Heroin is not new to the area. And while the media attention is new, anyone who has seen the spark lost in someone they know or love due to opioids realizes this has been around for much longer.
Drug problems and the crime that follows is not specific to our city, our state or our country. Where there are people, there are drugs. The difference is that we are recognizing the problem and working to address it. This will be an arduous battle, but I believe we can decrease the problems in our city.
Positivity generates positivity, while negativity detracts from the goal.
Every child that can be mentored and supported to make good choices makes a difference.
Every time you walk in a neighborhood or have a community gathering, you are making it known that this is your city.
Every conversation you start with a child about resisting drugs and helping their friends do the same makes a difference.
Every person struggling with drugs that you can help find a different path matters.
The more people who move into homes and make neighborhoods stronger, the less comfortable people will feel making drug deals there. Show drug dealers that we are a community ready to support one another, and in doing that we stop supporting them.
Think of one thing you love about this city, and take action to help that thing grow and thrive. The actions you take dont have to be far reaching; they can be as simple as supporting a local business.
Instead of speaking negatively about an aspect of the city, think of one thing you can do to improve it. When Tropical Storm Irene hit our Rutland County, we united and fixed things ourselves instead of waiting for outside help.
This is no different. Take a stand for what you love about this city and follow through. Remember that Rutland is ours, and that we must be invested in solutions. I love Rutland, and I am excited for our future. I know that we can all make a difference and make this an even more beautiful, safe and treasured place to call home.MORE IN CommentaryThe New York Times said the following in an editorial: Full StoryWhen I was about 9 years old, I graduated to a Little League whose diamonds Full StoryIncome inequality is the public-policy topic of the moment, embraced as an issue across the Full Story

German experimental music unit Individual Totem (a.k.a. Bernrd Madl and Mathias Knopp) have been fusing dark soundscapes and heavy industrial beats for over two decades now, but somehow managed to stay just under my radar during most of that time. After a few indie releases in the '90s, new material from the band became fairly scarce again, before they resurfaced with the full-length album Mothfly in 2007. That release included memorable tracks like "WWW," which had once surfaced as a single many years earlier only to abruptly vanish from the scene. A quick listen to that record calls to mind iconic acts like Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly or Velvet Acid Christ, but with roots in earlier electronic pioneers like Tangerine Dream (whose music is familiar to fans of '80s horror movies like Near Dark and The Keep). The combination of those influences supports a very cinematic thread of dark fantasy storytelling, and that aspect becomes the main focus of their latest album Kyria 13, which like its predecessor emerges after a lengthy hiatus.
An ambitious concept album with a dark fantasy theme, Kyria 13 tells the story of the Croxxers, a council of Jedi-like knights with mystical powers who must rally their forces to defend the the title world. Their foes in this dark saga are the ominous-sounding "Mindworms," whose evil influence peaks with an event called "The Great Mistake," which may spell doom for the entire planet. While this high-concept approach may call to mind the sprawling prog-rock epics of the '70s, for me it more closely resembles a story from the pages of Heavy Metal magazine, with the same open-ended, sensual surrealism, albeit in musical form. While the tale is told in a fairly loose way, and the tracks themselves stand up well individually, you can still feel a distinct story structure if you absorb the album in a non-stop session.
The opening track "Croxxers" sets up the world we're about to enter in the form of a distress-call transmission, before kicking in an old-school EDM pattern; in a cool touch, Madl's multi-tracked vocals are recorded in both English and German. The threat is established with the chilling dark synth growls and thunderous bass line of "Lost Souls," and ghostly high-pitch patterns and overlapping, cavernous vocals shape "The Great Mistake" into a kind of apocalyptic history lesson. Warm, ceremonial chords set the mood for "Council of the Wise," conjuring the image of a secret meeting place, as pitch-shifted, alien voices filling the sound space. The tone becomes intensely somber in "Go to War," with Madl's declaration "This is the time to forget/Whatever you feel for me" accompanied by acoustic guitar and backing synth strings before the introduction of marching snare drums.
Our antagonist is introduced in the frightening industrial noise explosion of "Mindworms," which gives way to the album's best slamming heavy-beat sequence, and the shouted line "Get out of my head!" is simple but effective. The intensity lightens temporarily for the cloudy synth washes of "Bluesky," a moody and percussive piece that seems to portray the passing of the Croxxer legacy to a new generation; that path continues into darkness with the lumbering, stuttering down-tempo crawl of "No Pressure," punctuated by shrill blasts of modulated noise. The noises climb skyward for the excellent "Astral," which for me represents the band's best balance of old and new electro styles – its room-shaking staccato bass line and soaring cosmic synth chords sound like a fusion of Skinny Puppy and Tangerine Dream. To reveal the content of the ambient "Wintermute" would give away the outcome of the story, but suffice to say it's a suitably cinematic coda, and has its share of surprises.
While none of these tracks break new ground in terms of songwriting – the structures and lyrics are very simple, lending themselves to a more ritualistic vibe – Kyria 13 is quite effective as an immersive experience. Each track in itself only provides a small hint of the bigger picture, and we only get a few moments of purely club-friendly EBM, but taken as a whole (preferably with the lights out), this record will ease you into a strange and haunted world while keeping your pulse high at the same time. I'm looking forward to visiting Individual Totem's universe again... and hoping it won't be another seven years before they offer their next invitation.
Here's the first chapter from the chronicles of Kyria 13, in the form of the opening track "Croxxers"...

Comedy Review: Vermont comedy comes to townBy Jim Lowe
Staff Writer | September 07,2013
Provided photo Tony Bate, a veteran comic, was the headliner Thursday at Vermont Comedy Clubs first monthly Laughs by the Slice! night at Montpeliers Positive Pie II.MONTPELIER Indigenous comedy has long been part of the Vermont landscape Waterbury Centers George Woodard or Stowes Rusty DeWees come to mind but it only recently became part of the states nightclub scene.
First there were the comedy shows and contests at South Burlingtons Higher Ground, but now there is an organization devoted completely to Vermont comedy. The Vermont Comedy Club, the creation of the husband-and-wife team of Nathan Hartswick and Natalie Miller, is primarily a booking agency for comics, but it also creates its own shows. (Hartswick and Millers other project, the Burlington nonprofit Spark Arts, teaches comedy.)
On Thursday, Vermont Comedy Club opened a new monthly series, Laugh by the Slice! that, among the seven comics performing, offered not only a wide variety of styles but also a broad diversity of skill. It must be noted that much of the humor was quite raunchy and often very funny.
There was no doubt about the skill of the evenings headliner, Tony Bates. A Montpelier native now living in Middlebury, he has performed at Higher Ground, Burlingtons FlynnSpace and White Rivers Tupelo Music Hall, and was a semifinalist in the 2011 Funniest Comic in New England contest at Connecticuts Mohegan Sun Casino. In other words, hes good.
Bates humor centered on his age, over 50, and being a Baby Boomer. (He might want to be more careful with critics in the audience who are even older.) His stories of family, sex with the wife and disdain for the Baby Boomer may not have been entirely familiar to the younger members of the audience, but his ability to convey the material smoothly, with wit and style regardless of a few bombs made him resonate with the audience.
Delivery seemed to be what separated the men from the boys, or the veterans from the newbies. In his role as host, Hartswick proved an able and attractive raconteur whether the jokes worked or not. Miller, too, in a short cameo, proved to be a very funny woman, particularly when the jokes went awry. Professionalism pays.
A relative newcomer who proved memorable was Christine Parker of Montpelier. Her self-deprecating humor surrounding her obesity and lesbianism were all the more effective because she never lost touch with her dignity. In anyone elses hands, comparing her big butt and her young daughters lack of breasts might be ugly, but in Parkers hands it was actually charming, as well as hilarious. This is one to watch and she will be back.
Joel Chaves, actually a waiter at Positive Pie, was particularly ingratiating because of his sensitive delivery and often seeming just plain pathetic. The key is that he did it all with the observing wit of an onlooker. While there was too obvious a reliance on notes, this is another one to watch.
Will Betts and Hunter Congleton each had something to offer, but their lack of discipline interfered. (A performance can seem undisciplined and be effective, but if it is, in fact, undisciplined it wont work.)
The Vermont Comedy Clubs Laughs by the Slice! is a welcome addition to central Vermonts cornucopia of entertainment delights. If youre looking for some light-hearted fun, give it a try.
Vermont Comedy Club
The Vermont Comedy Club presents Laughs by the Slice! the first Thursday of each month at Positive Pie II, 22 State St. in Montpelier. This years remaining performances are for ages 18 and older and at 9 p.m. Oct. 3, Nov. 7 and Dec. 9. Cover is $8; call 802-229-0453, or go online to www.positivepie.com.

CORSICANA, Texas—Strapped to a gurney in Texas' death chamber earlier this year, just moments from his execution for setting a fire that killed his three daughters, Cameron Todd Willingham declared his innocence one last time.
"I am an innocent man, convicted of a crime I did not commit," Willingham said angrily. "I have been persecuted for 12 years for something I did not do."
Before Willingham died by lethal injection on Feb. 17, Texas judges and Gov. Rick Perry turned aside a report from a prominent fire scientist questioning the conviction.
The author of the report, Gerald Hurst, reviewed additional documents, trial testimony and an hourlong videotape of the aftermath of the fire scene at the Tribune's request last month. Three other fire investigators--private consultants John Lentini and John DeHaan and Louisiana fire chief Kendall Ryland--also examined the materials for the newspaper.
"There's nothing to suggest to any reasonable arson investigator that this was an arson fire," said Hurst, a Cambridge University-educated chemist who has investigated scores of fires in his career. "It was just a fire."
Ryland, chief of the Effie Fire Department and a former fire instructor at Louisiana State University, said that, in his workshop, he tried to re-create the conditions the original fire investigators described.
When he could not, he said, it "made me sick to think this guy was executed based on this investigation. ... They executed this guy and they've just got no idea--at least not scientifically--if he set the fire, or if the fire was even intentionally set."
Even Edward Cheever, one of the state deputy fire marshals who had assisted in the original investigation of the 1991 fire, acknowledged that Hurst's criticism was valid.
"At the time of the Corsicana fire, we were still testifying to things that aren't accurate today," he said. "They were true then, but they aren't now.
"Hurst," he added, "was pretty much right on. ... We know now not to make those same assumptions."
A Tribune investigation of forensic science this year found that many of the pillars of arson investigation that were commonly believed for many years have been disproved by rigorous scientific scrutiny.
Willingham was charged after fire investigators concluded an accelerant had been used to set three separate fires inside the wood-frame, one-story home. Their findings were based on what they described as more than 20 indicators of arson.
Among them: "crazed glass," the intricate, weblike cracks through glass. For years arson investigators believed it was a clear indication that an accelerant had been used to fuel a fire that became exceedingly hot. Now, analysts have established that it is created when hot glass is sprayed with water, as when the fire is put out. It was just such evidence that helped convict Willingham.
Just as Hurst and other consultants dismissed the "crazed glass," they also said other so-called indicators--floor burn patterns and the charring of wood under the aluminum threshold--were just as unreliable.
The experts said evidence indicated the fire had advanced to flashover, a phenomenon that occurs when a fire gets so hot that gas builds up and causes an explosion. After flashover, "it becomes impossible to visually identify accelerant patterns," Hurst reported.
He also said the original finding that charring of wood was due to an accelerant under the threshold "is clearly impossible. Liquid accelerants can no more burn under an aluminum threshold than grease can burn in a skillet, even with a loose-fitting lid."
Prosecutors, though, point to other evidence against Willingham presented at his trial: a jailhouse informant who claimed Willingham confessed to him and stands by his testimony, and witnesses who said Willingham did not try hard enough to save his children.
Kathy Walt, a spokeswoman for the Texas governor, said Perry carefully considered "all of the factors" in Willingham's case before deciding against a stay.

Audio Interface that is JUST ADAT in?
I'm looking for an audio interface that is only ADAT in maybe w/ word clock. I need this interface to be usb or firewire and very simple. I decided that I would like to sell my Motu 828 MKII, and spend the money toward a really nice A/D converter that I can just take ADAT (8ch) outputs into the computer with a simple lightpipe in. THis is a PC laptop computer btw. Any help would be appreciated.

Original recipe yields 2 1/2 cups
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, nutritional yeast, and soy sauce to form a smooth paste. Gradually whisk in the broth. Season with sage, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring constantly, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until thickened.

This was a big hit on Thanksgiving. It went perfectly with a Tofurky. I was in a rush and did not read the reviews, so mine came out way too thick. I just added more spices and water until the consistency seemed right to me. Next time I'll cut back on the oil and flour. The trick to a perfect gravy is to always have equal amounts of fat (oil or butter) and flour so be sure to cut both equally. I also allowed the flour to brown a little before adding the vegetable stock. I think that really adds to the flavor. I would say that the nutritional yeast is not necessary, but it helps a lot. For those who don't know, for some reason nutritional yeast + soy sauce = total goodness. You see that combination in a lot of vegetarian recipes. This will definitely be in my recipe box permanently with some doctoring. I think this recipe would adapt well, like using mushroom broth instead of vegetable. I'll definitely try it again. Thanks.
i can't believe how good this gravy is. last year i bought vegetarian mushroom gravy for thanksgiving and it was awful so this year i looked for a good recipe but this exceeded all of my expectations. i used half the oil because of other user comments and omitted the salt and added about 3/4 cup water because it was thick but it's the best.

I'm not a vegetarian, but it had gotten down to the end of the month, and we didn't have any sausages for my standard sausage gravy. As a matter-of-fact, we didn't have a lot of things, so I had to make quite a few substitutions. Olive oil for the generic vegetable oil, no nutritional yeast, ordinary soy sauce, portabello mushroom broth for vegetable broth, no salt, and parsley, rather than sage. The result was extremely good, and I was pleasantly surprised. This is the sort of thing you can pull off without much effort, and I'll definitely make it again.

Scouting the Market: Mark TeahenBy
Unless they make a move for a pitcher in the next month and change, the Yankees are pretty much done assembling their 2012 team. In terms of position players they're pretty set. You can already pencil in the nine starters, and three of the four bench slots are already filled. That last bench spot is pretty much a toss-up. With Andruw Jones and Eduardo Nunez, the Yankees already have backups for every position. That last player can come from nearly anywhere, and can play nearly any role.
Hiroyuki Nakajima might have filled that spot, but he's headed back to Japan for one more season. Eric Chavez seems like the frontrunner for it now, but his fragility works against him heavily, since part of his job would be subbing for the unreliable Alex Rodriguez. There are some other internal options, such as Justin Maxwell and Chris Dickerson, but the Yankees might want someone who plays the infield. Better yet, someone who can play the corners in both the infield and outfield. As it happens, someone who fits that description just became available.
The Blue Jays designated Mark Teahen for assignment this morning, after he came to the plate just 47 times for them. Really, Teahen had no part in the Jays' plans; they only took on him, and his salary, to make the Edwin Jackson acquisition easier. With a full roster and nowhere to put Teahen, a DFA was almost inevitable. No one's going to claim him and his $5.5 million salary, but the Yanks might have interest should he clear waivers and reach free agency. Here's the breakdown.
- He's versatile. While he has limited experience at first base and left field, he has plenty at third base and right field. That gives the Yankees a backup to A-Rod who can also sub in the outfield if need be.
- He's left-handed. The three current bench players — Andruw Jones, Eduardo Nunez, and Francisco Cervelli — all hit right-handed. The Yankees also got a bit more right-handed in general by swapping Jesus Montero for Jorge Posada. They'd probably prefer a lefty for that last bench spot.
- He can take a walk: 8.2 percent career walk rate, and it's been at or above 9 percent in each of the last two seasons.
- He's relatively healthy. An oblique injury kept him out for a bit in 2011, but otherwise he's been pretty healthy. His most significant injury has been a fractured middle finger, suffered in 2010, but that's more of a freak thing. His shoulder, surgically repaired in 2006, hasn't been an issue since.
- He's not that good with the bat. After a very good 2006 season, at age 24, it appeared that Teahen — who was part of the A's Moneyball draft — might be coming around. He's been a complete disappointment, though, producing below average offensive numbers every year since. Last year was a low point: 52 wRC+.
- He plays terrible defense. While defensive metrics can portray players inaccurately, it's tough to argue when they all agree. All major defensive stats rate him as a patently horrible third baseman, and a barely passable outfielder.
- He's not even that good on the platoon split. He has a career .322 wOBA, .328 against righties. If he's going to be a generally mediocre player, he might as well at least mash righties. Alas.
That cons list might contain only three items, but they're three pretty damning ones. Teahen might be worth a sniff on a minor league deal, but his name value could fetch him a major league contract. The Jays might even trade him during the DFA period. If he's not worth signing to a major league deal, he's certainly not worth trading for living, breathing players.
In essence, Teahen's value is mostly associated with his name recognition. If he were just some random John Smith with those numbers, he wouldn't get a sniff — never mind the $5.5 million he'll make this year. The Yanks might desire to add a left-handed bat to the bench, but Teahen shouldn't be that guy. Even Eric Chavez, for defensive value if nothing else, would provide more value than Teahen.

I would rather have Pena .Younger ,switch hitter plays good D.
I can be real shitty at all nine positions. Where's my "scouting the market" column?
Bring back Chavez.
quick question: you kept referencing his name value in a seemingly positive way (as in, he has a big name). did you mean the opposite? i actually didn't even realize teahen was still an active MLB player until this post, nor do i ever hear his name mentioned anywhere. until the last paragraph, i thought a minor league deal would be easily attained BECAUSE he was considered a nobody.
He is somewhat famous. He's started and been paid on multi-year deals, but he's never been good enough for either. He is a very fortunate player, and there are hundreds like him whose names you really don't know at all.
i barely even know him, though. i didnt even realize he played on the CWS last year until i just looked it up. even then i see he has negative career WAR. i remember his name being a big prospect, but i mightve been in high school (it was a long time ago), and i havent heard of him being even remotely relevant since, nor did i realize he was still active.
i was reading the article the whole time thinking "this guys a nobody, surely hes an easy sign for a minor league deal", so thats why i was confused at the brand name label. ironically, i thought his name (or lack thereof) was a reason he COULD be had on a minor league deal. i guess ill trust mike though, just thought id mention it.
ill trust joe^
my apologies.
I think the name value comes more from what could have been. He was a first rounder, a top 100 BA prospect in 2005, and put up a 122 RC+ in 2006. Part of the idea being that he might spring back to life in the right environment and become that again. Pretty unlikely, but he could at least bounce back from an awful 2011 to be decent-ish. 3B is kind of a down position right now.
I like Chavez but he's likely to be on the DL and not the bench when you need him like last year.
so wait, do you like him or not?
I'd guess that he likes him, but is also aware that the Yankees are eventually going to find themselves in the same spot as they are now in terms of finding LH bat that can handle the corners.
knowing his "poke at the hornets nest" commenting style, my guess is that he likes chavez if the yanks dont sign him, and if they do, hes a old and injury prone and the yanks shouldve gone after someone else.
a lot of the trolls on this site are actually friends of mine, but i dont know cj. just my prediction that he'll take the opposite side the yankees take.
Not a troll, genuine Yankees fan, sometimes pessimistic.
I like chavez but concerned about the health and ability of both ARod and
Chavez to take the field. Nunez will end up playing for any length of time. I like Nunez more than most on RAB, he can still improve.
With your analysis of his cons it is hard to sign a guy like this even to occupy a minor league spot that could be used for a younger player.
What about Fernando Martinez? Just was waived by Mets.
I think he's injury prone, but hey, if these guys want to try out, I'm game.
I believe this is true, and someone who knows how might look it up, Teahen is (used to be?) a great baserunner, despite no speed. Yippee for that.
Actually, truthfully I enjoy that. It's always fun to find unique talents were no skill can be discerned.
Teahen was a useful bench piece a few years ago. Those days are over.
"He's not that good with the bat."
"He plays terrible defense."
Other than that…
lol, that gave me a good laugh.
how's his baserunning?
What about intangibles? Does he have what it takes to become a True Yankee™?
He can't hit, he can't field, but he's relatively healthy?
I'm sold!!
The food is terrible, and such small portions!
Me and Mark Teahen have something in common. Cool.
What the hell is a tea hen?
It's an English thing. Instead of tea with bisquits you have tea with poultry.
my question is, who has sex with a tea hen?
Warning: NSFW-ish
Rule 34 strikes again.
It's a typical Cantonese dish.
Teahen of the negative WAR fame? Sign me up!
Plenty of Teahen bashing right now and deservedly so. To be fair though, we're talking about a bench role and in an ideal world he wouldn't have to play that much. Isn't having a bench guy who's only bad (as opposed to atrocious) a decent asset?
I'm not advocating signing him, but just trying to throw out a different angle.
Yes, for $500k or whatever, having Teahen as the 25th guy on your roster wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
well, as he's below replacement level, i dont view him as an asset, since he's theoretically worse than a random AAA player that could take his job.
us yankees fans are spoiled! we want minimum .5 WAR players on the bench.
I hear you there. Having a LH bat might be nice, but perhaps it would be a better idea to just let Brandon Laird get those at-bats.
Guys like this belong on the Mets, Royals and Pirates, not the Yankees.
do you mean sign teahen up (sarcastically obviously) or to literally sign you, mike r, up? if youll accept a ST invite with no promises, id be fine with the yanks taking a look at you
If he wants to come to Spring Training, I'm cool with that, but I'm not signing a .202 hitter.
The Yanks won't. I'm not happy w Pena's development. He's here for his defense, and his defense is inconsistent.
nice URL…
Yeah, the last .202 hitting third baseman the Yanks obtained was Scott Brosius.
Betemit would be Better.
Why stop there? Why not Aramis Ramirez? Why not Evan Longoria?
He can't hit, and he can't field, but his name consists of two short nouns. I'm sold.
If he can't hit, field or steal bases…what's the point?
Let Laird/Chavez be A-rod's backup. The left-handed bat thing isn't a big deal, because it's not like Chavez will be pinch hitting for any of the 9 regulars.

Less than two months after Nassau County residents voted down a $400 million proposal to build a new Coliseum in Uniondale that would be financed by taxpayers, another plan for the sports and entertainment venue has emerged.
Earlier this week the Associated Press reported that "a group of developers, business leaders and community planners is proposing a privately financed redevelopment of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum and its surrounding 77-acre property."
The $346.5 million plan was designed by architect Angelo Francis Corva, of the West Hempstead-based , in less than two weeks.
"We started the design the Friday before Labor Day and concluded it within 11 days with some very intense 20-hour work days," Corva, 63, of Manhasset, told Patch in a recent interview about his proposal.
He credited Oyster Bay Town Planning Commissioner Frederick Ippolito, for taking the lead in the project, bringing on himself and another firm, Sidney B. Bowne & Son. They all became a part of a committee "organized to put forth some positive thoughts and spur action at the Coliseum site," Corva explained.
Unlike the failed proposal, which would have demolished the existing Coliseum once a new one was constructed, Corva's plan involves overhauling and expanding the original structure.
They would lift the roof as much as 25 feet and expand the promenade running around the building, keeping the Coliseum operational throughout the construction but adding approximately 4,000 seats — bringing the total capacity to around 20,000 — plus more corporate boxes. The inside and outside of the building, including the façade, would be refurbished too.
"It would basically be a new Coliseum, but with the bones of the existing structure," Corva said, with the exception of the roof, which would be taken down once they complete building the new one above it. The plan also calls for the hockey team occupying the Coliseum — presumably the New York Islanders if the NHL team decides to stay — to share the ice rink with the public.
Adjacent to the Coliseum would be a 16-story parking structure to house 6,800 cars, the same amount of spots in the current lot, freeing up this space for other attractions. South of the Coliseum there would be a 100,000-square-foot minor league baseball stadium with a practice facility, which would both also be shared with the public, according to Corva.
"The minor league stadium would be domed so it could be used 12 months a year," he said.
To the west, you'd find 75,000 square feet of retail stores and restaurants, and a pedestrian bridge connecting the Coliseum to Mitchel Field. After these projects are completed, the county would still have two additional parcels of land — 4.9 acres to the northeast and 19.2 to the southwest — to develop in the future.
Another major difference between this proposal and the one voters rejected on Aug. 1 is that it would be privately financed with no monetary support from the public — they are currently seeking investors.
In his 35-plus years of experience, Corva has designed 850 movie theaters across the country, an ice rink in Bethpage, a municipal parking structure in Hicksville and 25 buildings at Hofstra University, to name a few of his credits. He sees his latest project as "innovative," having the ability to "promote a spark to a site that is underutilized and create a vision."
And he adds, "It will also bring some pride to West Hempstead."

A few bad bounces here and there was the difference for the Oak Hills Lady Highlanders this season.
Instead of 10, 11 or 12 wins, coach Steven Bittner and his girls settled for a 7-17 season and a second-round sectional loss to Mason that brought their season to a close.
"I thought we had a good year, yet a disappointing year," Bittner said. "? The disappointing part this year was the losses that we just let slip through our hands that would have made this year a great year." ...

Ukrainian Immigrant and California Businessman Igor Pasternak Celebrates Resolution in Sacramento Recognizing National Guard Partnership with Ukraine
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 03, 2014
This morning, California lawmakers heard resolution HR 45, which highlighted a successful 21-year partnership between the California National Guard (CNG) and the European country of Ukraine. Igor Pasternak, CEO of Aeroscraft Corporation and chief engineer of the Aeroscraft, was recognized on the floor for his support of this resolution.
Its important to see the powerful state of California taking action to strategically partner with Ukraine, one of our most important European allies, in providing them with the right tools to help strengthen their military capabilities and political framework, says Mr. Pasternak. I am grateful to Assemblyman Matt Dababneh for his leadership on this resolution, and thankful to Brigadier General Matthew Beevers and the Guardsmen and women under his command for the continued excellence and friendship toward the people of Ukraine.
Pasternak grew up in Ukraine and was educated in Kiev before immigrating to California in the early 1990s.
The CNG-Ukraine Partnership Program was formed in 1993, and is one of 65 National Guard State Partnership Programs. CNG and Ukraines strategic relationship has supported the re-restructuring and modernization of forces and information sharing during the past 20 years, as well as diplomatic leadership and consensus building among civilian populations. Ukrainian military members have traveled to California to participate in disaster-relief exercises with the California National Guard and California Guardsmen have been deployed to Ukraine for antiterrorism exercises.
Matt Dababneh, author of the resolution, stated to the National Guard he was honored to author a resolution that highlights how CNG is helping partner nations, reinforce military respect for civilian control and rule of law and create stable regions. He went on to say this partnership with Ukraine is a true testament to the professionalism and dedication of the CNG and the expertise they offer military personnel abroad.
CNG has conducted more than 300 leader engagements and multinational exercises for the past two decades.
Through the ongoing collaboration, California guardsmen are addressing a broad range of social, economic, military and political issues. The Partnership is currently focusing on strategic airlift collaboration, humanitarian assistance, human resources and personnel management, emergency response training, boarder security, English language training, development of the European Union Battle Group, as well as how to best leverage relationships with neighboring countries.

Home sales in the Commonwealth are down a little from this time last year, according to new data from The Warren Group.
Sales were down five percent this February compared to February 2012, according to statistics gathered by The Warren Group, the Boston-based real estate and banking information publishers for New England.
Here in Newton, the city saw no change in February home sales; 33 homes were sold in February 2013, which is exactly the same as the number sold in February 2012.
Year to date sales, though, are down almost 26 percent in Newton, according to The Warren Group numbers. At the end of February 2012, 74 homes had been sold in Newton compared to the 55 sold by the end of February 2013.
Looking for more Newton real estate news? Make sure to follow Newton Patch on Facebook and Twitter, or sign up for our email newsletters.
According to the Press Release, the likely reason for this decrease is low inventory.
"With such low inventory, we're seeing bidding wars – homes selling above the asking price," Timothy M. Warren Jr., CEO of The Warren Group said in the press release. "As prices rise, more sellers will begin to list their property which in turn pumps up sales volume."
Nevertheless, Warren said he is optimistic for a "strong spring market."
Newton home sales were also down last month.
While the number of sales may be lower than last year, the median home sale price in Newton has increased 13.33 percent compared to what it was in February 2012, from a price of $750,000 to $850,000. Overall, year to date home sale prices are also up 5.2 percent from $750,000 to $789,000.
Newton condo sales
Newton did not see much movement in terms of February condo sales, either. According to The Warren Group numbers, 12 condos were sold in February 2013 compared to 13 in Feburary 2012.
Price-wise, the median sale price of a Newton condo is down 15.7 percent this year compared to last year, dropping from an average sale price of $490,000 in 2012 to $413,000 in 2013.
Middlesex County
Middlesex County saw 487 home sales in February 2013, just a slight increase over the 481 sold in February 2013.
Year to date, home sales in Middlesex County are up 5.56 percent over last year, according to The Warren Group.

Tennessee-Alabama Preview: Will the Tide Turn on Saturday?
The motivation, as articulated by Vol linebacker Herman Lathers:
We know we have a big game coming up this weekend against the No. 1 team in the nation. You know, if you don't come prepared they're going to embarrass you.
Or potentially even if you do come prepared.
Tennessee – Miss State Preview: Calm Before the Storm?
Besides lawsuits and fractured hips, not much has happened the last two weeks.
A welcomed calm. But next?
It's Knoxville. There is always something next.
Hip Hip Hooray, or Don't Bother Answering the Bell
I don't know if Derek Dooley's hip injury came as he accompanied Robert Jordan's bid to blow up a bridge in Spain or not, but this week's visit by the Vols to the land of cows and their bells has me thinking about John Donne and Ernest Hemmingway.
Tennessee-Georgia Preview: An Orange Banana Skin?
Our fanbase is probably the only supporters of a 3-1 team that has a significant percentage howling for the head of their coach.
That symptom of fanaticism notwithstanding, the fans of the Georgia Bulldogs seem to be thinking that Saturday's visit to Athens by Tennessee is just something to sandwich in between a grudge match with Vanderbilt and a monumental SEC East Division clash with South Carolina.
Vanderbilt and South Carolina. That's what it's come to I guess.
But, that's OK. Whatever it takes to cause a foe to overlook you, to take you for a needed breather between two Saturdays of spent emotional energy.
Tennessee-Akron Preview: Reinflating the Big Orange Balloon
Nearly all of the air is out of the Big Orange Balloon.
It wasn't simply that Tennessee lost to Florida at home last Saturday – the day that ESPN Gameday came to Knoxville to cover the hype that had reached levels not seen for a UT football game since the late '90s / early 'oos.
It was more about how that game was lost.
Vols-Gators Preview: Tables are Turned
Get this…
It is the Tennessee Volunteers that are running an up-tempo, no-huddle, blitzkrieg offense instead of the Florida Gators whose offensive strategy is to slow the tempo down and milk the play clock as much as possible.
What happened?
A shift in the balance of offensive weapons.
Looking Forward with the Rearview Mirror
Is there anything we can take from Saturday's win over Georgia State (or the season opener for that matter) that applies to the future? Especially the immediate (Florida Gators) future?
Hear this…
Preview of Tennessee vs Some Team Coached by Bill Curry
Saturday's home opener against Division II school Georgia State holds little appeal. The interesting games this weekend are Florida at Texas A&M and Georgia at Missouri for two reasons. First, these are the first conference games for the two newcomers to the SEC. Second, the visiting teams are the Vols next conference opponents. Nonetheless, there are a few interesting tidbits about Tennessee's opponent on Saturday.
Tennessee-NC State Preview
In 1939, the Tennessee Vols kicked off their historic season with a 13-0 defeat of NC State in Raleigh. Why historic? The Vols not only dished out a shutout that opening day, but were unscored upon for the remainder of that regular season.
That is historic.
Whether or not 2012 is to be a historic season is for the pundits to have fun with. What is true is that this year's opener against the Wolfpack is one thing if nothing else — a game the Vols must win. They must. Because if they don't, and depending on how the loss goes down, Tennessee will find themselves behind the eight ball going into the Florida game with another must-win scenario before heading into another October filled with heavyweights.
Playing the November schedule with the only chance being a 6-6 season is a worse-case scenario. A win over NC State wipes that possibility off the table.
That's how crucial this game is for Tennessee.
The Offensive Line: Coming Into Their Own
Finally, to the offense.
No, we're not going to address the Da'Rick Rogers soap opera. Yet. Instead, we will begin where you should always begin with: the salt of the earth; the offensive lineman.
Where to begin? Last season, so many expectations were put on this O-Line before any of them stepped on Shields-Watkins Field for the opener. Those expectations were either over-inflated or just simply not achieved in any way, shape, or form. It all depends on how you look at it. One thing is certain – their collective performance was an embarrassment. I don't know how else to put it.

New Music: Birdman f/ Nicki Minaj & Lil Wayne – 'Y.U. Mad'
Birdman flies with his YMCMB all-stars Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne on "Y.U. Mad," the first single off his upcoming album Bigga Than Life, due November 21. Hip-hop's reigning crew takes aim at those who envy their success over a tribal-inspired beat.
Nicki fires the first round with her opening verse. "I am the female Weezy," she declares, while delivering a blow to her enemies. "Yeah, we shine, gold cluster/ As for your career, dead, ghostbuster."
Birdman asserts his team's dominance and Weezy tosses the keys to Nicki. Haters better run for cover.

In 1999, a film publicist named Jeff Dowd sidled over to me at the Salt Lake City airport and gave me my first tout that year for a Sundance entry. "See 'The Blair Witch Project,' " he said. "I'm not even working for it, and I'm telling you this." I saw it, and when it opened in July of that year, I gave it a four-star rating.
Maybe it deserved it. No force on Earth could compel me to go back and see it again. It had an effective sense of accumulating horror. I liked it at the time. Since then, I've grown weary of the genre it inspired, the found-footage horror film. In this genre we are given low-quality home video footage, usually underlit, lacking in pacing and intentionally hard to comprehend. The premise is that the footage was taken before some unspeakable event occurred, was discovered later and now is in the film we are watching.
"Paranormal Activity" is the best subsequent example of a found-footage film. "V/H/S" is an example of the genre at its least compelling. It's an anthology of six separate horror stories shot in low-definition VHS. The first, "Tape 56," explains the other five. A group of masked intruders break into a house on a mission to retrieve certain videotapes. After routine haunted-house scares, they come upon the house's owner, sitting dead and decomposing in front of a wall of video monitors.
While one of the group stays to look at some of the video, the others explore the house and make more unsettling discoveries. The overall film consists of this linking film and five other stories, each with a different director and different casts — with slight overlapping of actors.
Do you want to hear the five stories? Better you should make sense of them yourself. One of the pleasures or punishments of the film is that we're not always sure when we have left one story and entered another.
The idea, I gather, is that "V/H/S" is sort of a showcase for its young directors and actors. Since it's such a muddle, I don't understand how any of them hope to stand out. It plays more like a student project in which several short films were cobbled together in the popular found-footage horror genre to masquerade as a feature.
What's the point? None of the segments is particularly compelling. Strung together, it's way too much of a muchness. These ambitious young artists might be better advised to make what I naively call a "real movie." For example, Ti West, one of the six directors, has already released "The Innkeepers," a well-made and effective haunted hotel movie that exhibited a real gift for framing and placement; it created some genuine scares out of what he showed and didn't show. I'd bet on a guy like that. If he showed me "V/H/S," I'd hedge my bet.

Information :
Genres: Drama,Romance
Director:Jason Reitman
Cast: George Clooney,Vera Farmiga,Anna Kendrick
User reviews :
Jason Reitman is on his way to become one of the greatest film
directors of our time. Of an ostensibly young age, and with only three
films under his belt, he has already proved himself as a visionary
young director who refreshes the film industry and gives his movies the
necessary combination of electricity and art that appeals to both
mainstream audiences and art lovers. "Thank You for Smoking", his
directorial debut, was an astoundingly hilarious dark comedy with deep
and poignant reflections; "Juno" was a miracle comedy which
revolutionized the teen comedy genre and which found its way into every
household viewing experience. Now his latest film, "Up in the Air", is
yet another dose of genius, a dramedy that entertains as it ponders the
precarious balance between work and family, dealing with every scene a
jolting blow to our consciences and a permanent life lesson to be
The film introduces us to Ryan Bingham (George Clooney), a highly
successful man who lives for his one-of-a-kind job: firing people. He's
the best at a highbrow company where experts at firing people are hired
by other companies to do the dirty work for them. Ryan is forced to
fire countless people he's never met before, day after day, and he's
really good at remaining emotionless and calm through their reactions-
ranging from openly crying, to pleading for their family's well-being,
to violently throwing a fit, to threatening with suicide. And yet,
after each grueling meeting, he emerges with a smile, ready to take the
next plane wherever he's needed next.
Ryan is a happy man, happy in his loneliness. He's comfortable up in
the air, away from human connections, and thrives by earning wads of
money, living in airports and keeping safely distant relationships with
the few acquaintances he has. His friends are airport and store clerks
who greet him happily as their patron, his girlfriends are casual women
he meets at airport bars for a one-night stand, his family is the
company he works for. What amazes audiences about this Ryan character
is how coldly focused and intelligent he is- so much so that he
acknowledges his loneliness, recognizes how isolated he's becoming,
accepts the fact it may be detrimental to his well-being…and yet he
relishes it. He lives for a fast-paced life traveling and earning
frequent flyer miles.
One day, Alex Goran (Vera Farmiga) comes along; a sensual, intelligent,
successful woman he meets at an airport bar. Naturally, they hit it off
right away, but through time and through many meetings with her, he
begins to understand the sudden and unforeseen need for company. And
with the arrival of Natalie Keener (Anna Kendrick), a young girl with
fresh ideas and dating issues who challenges his working techniques and
whom he has to show the ropes around the 'firing people' business, he
begins to earn valuable life lessons and he begins to discover the deep
complexities of the human condition…and how they're a deliciously
bittersweet experience he can no longer live without.
Naturally, the film deals with highly complex topics, and they really
ARE complex. These are topics authors have devoted heavy volumes to,
and they've been thoroughly explored and cross-section in endless
psychology textbooks. In a two-hour film, and through a fascinatingly
original illustrative story, Jason Reitman has managed to probe into
the topics and wrench their guts out to be exposed to an awestruck
audience. The sheer force and poignant situations in the film are sure
to make the audience both gag with heartbreak and sigh after laughing.
Like another critic said, 'it's a searing and delicious slice of life',
and every second of the film rings with truth and comic drama that we
can all identify with. Clooney is down-to-earth and believable, the two
supporting actresses are a joy to watch; the extras hired to play the
fired employees have actually been fired at some point in their lives,
and they were asked to improvise their emotions based on past
experiences…so you can imagine the raw emotional power of their short
It's an effective story driven by its pitch-perfect screenplay and its
flawless performances. Notice how the drama and emotion happen by
themselves, as naturally and as realistically as a film can convey.
Rolfe Kent's score is quiet and creeps under the action to the point
where you KNOW the music has become part of the feeling and not an
enhancer; Eric Steelberg's cinematography deals no fantastic camera
shots or dramatic camera effects, but includes every detail of the
scene and makes us feel like actual witnesses of the action; it's us in
that room, and Ryan is firing us. Basically, we're forced to take in
the film as a whole and every technical aspect contributes to this
wonderfully-crafted story.
As with his previous films, Reitman pays close attention to every word
of the dialogue. It's fast-paced, witty, but every syllable down to
every pause is important and is rendered to perfection. This is surely
the best screenplay I've seen all year (adapted from the novel by
Walter Kirn). It's a film to meditate with, to reflect upon…but above
all, to bask in and to marvel at. And it's a hell of a good time too!

MILLSBORO, Del. (AP/WBOC) - A homeless man has been charged with robbing a man pumping gas in Millsboro.
Delaware State Police said Gary Laskowski, 32, was arrested shortly after the robbery Saturday evening.
Police said Laskowski pointed a handgun at a man filling his vehicle at the Uncle Willies BP gas station on Long Neck Road. Police said the man told Laskowski he did not have any money, and Laskowski went through the man's pockets and took some cash.
The robber fled in a sport-utility vehicle, and police said the vehicle was quickly pulled over. Laskowski was in the passenger seat and was arrested, and the loaded handgun was still in the SUV. The female driver was not charged.
Laskowski faces charges including first-degree robbery and possession of a deadly weapon during a felony.

Al Jarreau –
Moonlighting Lyrics
Some walk by night,
Some fly by day,
Nothing could change you,
Set and sure of the way.
There is the sun and moon,
They sing their own sweet tune,
Watch them when dawn is due,
Sharing one space.
We'll walk by night,
We'll fly by day,
Moonlighting strangers
Who just met on the way.
