Words on Birds Steve Grinley
Newburyport Daily News
---- — Remember the dovekie that the Salisbury Beach resident found in his stairwell last week after Sandy? This week's nor'easter drove more than 3,470 of those dovekies past Andrew's Point in Rockport on Wednesday! Birders consider themselves lucky to find one or two of these birds from shore, but this count by Rick Heil of Peabody is the largest flight seen off Massachusetts since the 1950s and '60s.
That same Wednesday morning, Bill Gette and Dave Larson led their Wednesday Morning Birding group around Salisbury and Plum Island and saw many interesting birds. Bill Gette filed the following report:
"Prior to our program today, David Larson and I were wondering if anyone would be silly enough to show up for our Wednesday Morning Birding program. The winds were very strong; it was very overcast; and it looked as if it could rain at any moment. Well, silly we have in very good supply — we had 12 hardy birders who know that bad weather days often — very often — provide good birding. Today was one of those very good days.
"As I promised, we headed immediately to Salisbury Beach State Reservation. As we drove in the entrance road, we were greeted by 40 snow buntings. They were feeding along the edge of the road where we all had wonderful views. As we drove farther south along the park road, we saw a flock of birds fly into some pines. We got out of our vans and walked back to the trees. There, we found a group of white-winged crossbills feeding among the cones. The birds were very approachable, and we got within 5 or 6 feet of them. When several of the crossbills took off, they flew within a foot or so of our group.
"We drove into one of the large parking areas on the east side of the park road and spotted more snow buntings. As we watched the buntings, a merlin streaked past chasing a crossbill. Unlike last Wednesday when we watched the Cooper's hawk catch the European starling, the crossbill got away.
"Driving through the campground, we spotted a merlin (probably the same one), several red-breasted nuthatches and a golden-crowned kinglet that was feeding on the ground. We also found several more white-winged crossbills. At the boat launching ramp, we found three Bonaparte's gulls hunting for fish in the tidal creek. At the mouth of the Merrimack River, we watched the waves crash onto the jetty — very impressive. We spotted a common loon and a white-winged scoter.
"From Salisbury Beach State Reservation, we returned to the Joppa Flats Education Center for a brief rest stop and coffee and then headed for the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge. Along the Plum Island Turnpike, some of our participants saw three black-bellied plovers and a killdeer. At the Salt Pannes Wildlife Observation Area, we had a good variety of ducks. Since the wind was so strong, many of the ducks were feeding along the near edge of the pannes where we could get great views.
The ducks we saw included: a drake Eurasian wigeon, gadwall (14), American wigeon (30), green-winged teel (six), American black duck and mallard. Also in the salt pannes were at least 10 greater yellowlegs.
"At the Bill Forward Observation Blind, we found a pair of hooded mergansers and 50 northern pintails. As we were watching the ducks, we heard and then saw several more white-winged crossbills, two pine siskins and a common redpoll. In summary, we had a great field trip."
The next morning after the storm, Tom Wetmore of Newburyport also had a great experience on Plum Island which he described as a "carpet of crossbills":
"My noteworthy moment came when I walked into the new blind pines to see if there was anything strange in Forward Pool. I was surprised to find that the pine-needle covered floor of the pines was a veritable carpet of birds. The birds were primarily white-winged crossbills, but there were also a number of nuthatches, chickadees, white-throated sparrows and at least one common redpoll with them. The birds did not seem under stress. They were all feeding, seemingly quite contentedly, on the ground, as the wind was howling through the pines just a feet above them."
In addition to the increased activity at the backyard feeders, including reports of evening grosbeaks, pine siskins and redpolls, it will be interesting to see what other birds the storm left behind. If you would like to venture afield with the Mass Audubon Group, they have bird walks every Wednesday and Saturday morning. You can contact the Mass Audubon Joppa Flats Center at 978-462-9998 for more information.
Steve Grinley is the owner of Bird Watcher's Supply and Gift at the Route 1 traffic circle in Newburyport and the Nature Shop at Joppa Flats.

Porpoises swim up River Thames
A pod of porpoises has swum up the River Thames to central London.
The Metropolitan Police Marine Policing Unit, which is following the group of mammals, tweeted that they "seem happy enough".
Initially the river patrol team, which tweets as @MPSonthewater, reported a sighting of a dolphin at Tower Bridge.
But further updates revealed the creatures to be harbour porpoises, which usually stick to coastal areas and river estuaries, but are known to venture further upstream.
The Marine Policing Unit tweeted: " Marine 2 are following a pod of about 5 harbour porpoises in the Lambeth area of the river."
It later added: "The porpoises seem happy enough. They are surfacing regularly and are staying in the Westminster area."

"Artistic differences," Pikelny joked.
Like a lot of budding folk players, Pikelny began with the claw hammer style banjo -- then he discovered Bela Fleck, who played the instrument three-finger style, like bluegrass legend Earl Scruggs.
"It was this magical sound," he said. "I'd heard bluegrass banjo, and this sounded nothing like it."
At 10 years old, Pikelny decided he wanted to follow in Fleck's musical footsteps. But in order to do that, he was told he had to first study Earl Scruggs and banjo great Tony Trischka because "that's what all the greats did, regardless of where they ended up."
Pikelny heeded the advice, but said within a few weeks, he became totally enamored with bluegrass, which kind of presented a problem. "I started to see the limitations of bluegrass in Chicago."
In junior high and high school, he traveled out of state to learn about bluegrass, which brought him to The Augusta Heritage Festival in Elkins.
"I don't even know where we got the brochure," he said. "But we got it, and I signed up for classes."
For a week in the summer for four years in a row, Pikelny studied with some of the best bluegrass pickers and players in the world: Craig Smith, Tony Furtado and George Shuffler, who played with Dr. Ralph Stanley.
"As a kid who would drool over banjo magazines, these were Hollywood celebrities to me," he said.
Pikelny said his experiences in Elkins changed his life. It wasn't just that he learned technique (which he did) or got to test his skills against others (which he did), but he also got to meet like-minded people. They showed him that life in this kind of music was possible.
"The people I met there became role models to me," he said. "I identified with the group. I came home every summer wanting to be a better musician."
He did. Pikelny grew up, honed his skill and developed his talent. He joined bands like Leftover Salmon, The John Cowan band and The Punch Brothers, a progressive bluegrass band formed by Nickel Creek's Chris Thile.
Pikelny thinks of himself as still learning and still exploring the banjo. Sometimes that has meant transcribing the music of other instruments to the banjo. Lately, the instrument he's working with is the pedal steel.
He hasn't got it yet.
"The pedal steel has moved me out of the box of what is comfortable for me musically."
Meanwhile, Pikelny said his brother still plays the mandolin a little.
"He also plays the Irish bouzouki, flies glider planes and teaches at a high school outside of Chicago." Pikelny laughed. "He's got like a million hobbies."

Livestock and horse protection
Please consider the crime prevention advice below to protect your livestock and horses.
Protect your livestock
Grazing animals can be targeted by thieves. A vehicle would need to be involved in such a crime - there are ways that you can combat this:
- Keep hedges, fences and gates in good repair to assist security and visibility.
- Be vigilant, make regular checks and encourage your neighbours to report the presence of strange vehicles.
- If livestock is stolen, it is important that you can give police an accurate description.
- Ear tags and horn brands can help to identify livestock. Freeze branding, hot branding or tattooing your postcode can also be carried out.
Protect your horses
Criminals who target horses are not usually opportunist – they know what they are looking for and will come prepared.
Horse saddles and tack have been targeted over the past few years as the demand for this equipment has increased. Tack rooms and stables are not built with security in mind, and many owners do not like to use locks due to the risk of fire.
- Mark tack, saddles and accessories so that they are identifiable, and also less attractive to the thief.
- Tack, saddles and accessories should be locked in the farmhouse and not left in or around the stables.
- Use freeze marking or hoof branding to make horses and ponies identifiable. A recent development is using a microchip implant placed under the animal's skin which can be read by a receiver.
- For future reference, take photographs of your animal and expensive equipment.
- Consider joining Thames Valley Horse Watch, a police initiative to tackle equine crime. It aims to raise awareness of equine crime and improve communication and security among horse owners and riders. You do not have to own a horse to become involved.

Honda Odyssey vibration
mbtech79 Posts: 1Recently I had a Honda Odyssey mini van with a weird viberation at 45-50 mph. The dealer did the motor mounts all four wheel bearings, sparkplugs, and a rotate and ballance and was still not fixed.
www.calmbbmwrepair.com -
cliff34 Posts: 1I have a 2007 Odyssey with 130k miles. In my case, I recently had timing belt, cv joints and motor mount replaced. We live in Fl where there aren't too many hills. On a trip through Ga I noticed the described vibration in Eco mode. My observation was that during acceleration up a hill (not Eco mode) everything was fine. Real-time MPG meter is showing just over 20, which isn't too bad for going up a moderate hill. After cresting the hill, the engine shifts into Eco mode and mileage jumps to over 40MPG (this is expected since we are basically coasting). About halfway down the hill, the is a definite "shift" in the engine behavior. Mileage drops to approx 20MPG while going downhill(!), and vibration picks up substantially. It feels similar to going down a mountain and downshifting to use engine braking. When starting up the next hill, it remains in Eco mode for a few seconds and the mileage drops to 10MPG in Eco mode! When the Eco mode turns off I am again seeing 20+ MPG.
To make a long story short, I get 20+ MPG going uphill when engine is firing on all cylinders. When Eco mode kicks in, I get <20MPG going downhill, with seemingly excessive vibration. I have had this 2007 Odyssey for four years and have never had this issue before. Overall mileage for the trip is approx 10% less than it was a few months ago.
Why would mileage in Eco mode be worse than in normal mode? -
newodyman Posts: 1Looking at buying a 2008 EX-L. This thread has made me leary. It has 97000 miles on it and seems to be in great shape. Having a mechanic check it out Monday. What brought me here was that at 70-75mph it felt like the TC would engage/disengage kind of randomly. Not a shutter/judder but more just felt like it was shifting. Is that normal with the eco stuff? Is it the Variable Cylinder Management? I really like the car, I just don't want to buy into a $4k tranny problem.
01intrigue Posts: 92Our trouble-free 2006 EX-L has 157k miles. Based on our experience, that's the VCM kicking in, then releasing. If you hit the gas a bit and get it up past 75 then the VCM disengages and the vibration-sounds go away, for us. I sometimes wish there was a disable switch on the VCM so when going at highway speeds over 75, it would not try to turn on.
ssedson Posts: 1Wondering how your odyssey is working currently?
We have 2006 134000 miles, shudders on occasion from 20-40 mph. I have noticed in cruise control going down hill it does not down shift.
I love my Honda and want it to last a lot longer.
Did you have the PCM Update? It sounds like some people think it is better without.
Thanks for any replies. :-) -

claim5 Posts: 22My 2007 EX-L is north of 65,000 miles and I just took the kids down to Ft. Lauderdale for spring break (from Chicago) It's still running like new, had the torque converter replaced at about 27,000 miles and everything is perfect. Averaged 30.29 mpg for the round trip. After the converter was replaced, I refused to have the "update" for the PCM and am really glad, I heard other owners had more trouble after the updates.
sreiss Posts: 65We had the torque converter replaced at 24,000 miles on our 2007 Odyssey and have had all the software updates since. It's run fine. We started to have the issue return several months ago (around 40,000 miles after replacing the torque converter, I would estimate) and they made a software update and it's fine again.
hondascott Posts: 3My van has almost 100k miles and 2 months ago, suddenly, it started to vibrate under acceleration at around 50-60 mph. The vibration is 5-10 Hz left and right and is more pronounced under harder acceleration. The steering wheel does not shake at all. When you let off the throttle it stops.
The place I took it to (not a dealership because it is far from where I live) said it was coming from the front passenger side after they drove it. They have replaced front and rear motor mount, right axle and "half shaft" (between the axle and the transmission) nojoy. I have gotten new tires, balanced and alignment. They even tried a new rotor and even disabling my front wheel brakes to eliminate the master cylinder (which they said is another common problem).
Any ideas? -
ciao888 Posts: 24How about torque converter shudder? There has been a lawsuit filed. You can eliminate the vibration if you let go of the accelerator and you can turn it on by holding a constant speed, then I would suspect that is the issue, esp. with all the work that was done to try to correct the issue.
hondascott Posts: 3Thanks for the reply.
All of the stuff I have read here and elsewhere about the TC shudder seems to be at lower speeds, 25-45, and related to transmission shifting. When my issue occurs it is in gear, not shifting, and only at noted speed range, 50-60, while accelerating. It feels like some sort of resonance, not a mechanical shifting issue, or am I misunderstanding the TC shudder issue?
Just because there was a lawsuit filed, does that mean they will replace the torque converter for free? -
01intrigue Posts: 92
hondascott Posts: 3No, it is actually rare that I ever have the accelerator depressed and the ECO light is on unless I am basically coasting downhill. And it isn't just hearing a vibration, it actually shakes everything in the car, seats and everything. Bottles of water in the cupholders don't just show the water jostling about, the bottles themselves will actually bounce back and forth in the cupholders.
I am also curious as to whether this is just an annoyance or if there is an actual danger to the vehicle. Is this benign or if left alone will it make the vehicle unsafe to drive?

Worshipping the Red Mushroom
The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross
The Encounter
One of the most famous Upper Paleolithic paintings discovered in the great cave at Lascaux depicts a schematic figure of a bird-headed man, penis erect, holding his hands outstretched in the direction of a mortally wounded bison. The combination of imitative magic and fertility rite represented in that scene underlies much of what is known about the religion of early man in Europe. Yet few would assert that the legacy of Lascaux still influences the religious consciousness of Europeans today. In a slightly different form, however, this is what Dr. Allegro is stating in a remarkable study of the origins and nature of Christianity. "If rain in the desert," he writes, "was the source of life, then moisture from heaven must only be a more abundant kind of spermatozoa. If the male organ ejaculated this precious fluid and made life in the woman, then above the skies the source of nature's semen must be a mighty penis, as the earth that bore its offspring was the womb. It followed therefore that to induce the heavenly phallus man must stimulate it by sexual means, by singing, dancing, orgiastic displays, and above all by performing the copulatory act itself." Thus at the heart of all religions lies the phallic cult, and neither Judaism nor its offshoot, Christianity, was exceptional.
Allegro's search for supporting evidence leads him back to the religious records of the Sumerians, the people with the oldest known written language. As a philologist he has come to the belief that the Sumerians formed a linguistic and cultural bridge between the Semitic and Indo-Germanic peoples, and hence that a detailed study of their religious vocabulary would throw light on the background of both Semitic and Indo-Germanic religion. This is a novel approach to the study of the ultimate nature of Christianity and if the case could be proved the author would have deserved the esteem of his contemporaries. One is in any event interested that Sumerian words such as malck ("great") and rig ("shepherd") could conceivably lie behind the Latin magnus and rex; but other identifications appear more fanciful, and far too many Sumerian words seem to end by meaning "erect penis" or "vulva."
In itself this would not be damning, as the mother earth element played an enormous part in primitive religion in Europe and North Africa, and the long barrows built to represent a womb must have evolved an extensive vocabulary among their builders. A more serious objection to Allegro's hypothesis is, however, that in the Akkadian period (circa 2500 B.C.) Semitic names appearing in Sumerian are easily identifiable and stand out. In contrast, the il- and el- prefix common in Semitic theophoric names (e.g., Elohim) does not occur in Sumerian. The conclusion one would draw is that Sumerian and Semitic started as different languages, and that the presence of Semitic terms in Sumerian is in the nature of loan words.
Allegro, however, does not put too much weight on philological or historical argument …

Photo Illustration: Ji Lee Last spring, when a breast cancer diagnosis sent me to the hospital for a double mastectomy, my surgeon told me I'd need to stay the night. So when I saw the word outpatient on my plastic hospital ID bracelet, I was confused. "Oh, we have to do that for insurance purposes," said the woman at the check-in desk. "Your insurance company requires that we get you out in less than 24 hours." And get me out they did; 23 hours later, I was discharged. My stay was such a whirlwind that the sole bouquet of flowers sent to me at the hospital was delivered to my lap on my way out the door.
Within two weeks, I was checking back in for follow-up surgery (the surgeon had missed some of the tumor in my chest). And this time the stay was even shorter: A mere five hours after being wheeled into the operating room, I was out the door. That night the pain was excruciating—far worse than the first time around. How could this be? I wondered, and then it hit me: no professional nurses or morphine on tap. I've since learned that healthcare advocates call these in-and-out hospital stays drive-through mastectomies. I've also learned—much to my relief—that their days may be numbered. In March Connecticut congresswoman Rosa L. DeLauro introduced the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act of 2009 (HR 1691) in the House of Representatives. The bill would guarantee, among other things, a minimum hospital stay of 48 hours for a woman having a mastectomy or lumpectomy. Those first two days are critical because that's when the risk of surgical complications is greatest, says Marisa Weiss, MD, a breast oncologist and founder of breast Cancer.org , a nonprofit resource. And complications (such as bleeding or infections) are worrisome for breast cancer patients because they can delay chemotherapy and radiation. As Weiss explains, "Any significant delay in treatment can increase the risk of the cancer growing and possibly spreading." As it stands, 20 states have laws mandating minimum inpatient coverage, but the majority—including my state, Indiana—do not. (To find out if your state requires minimum coverage, go to StateHealthFacts.org and click on Women's Health and then Minimum IP Mastectomy Stay.) In states without such laws, insurance companies, not physicians, determine the length of a woman's hospital stay. And thousands of us are affected: This year alone, 125,000 women will undergo a mastectomy, and 65 percent will be discharged within 24 hours, according to a report presented to the American Society of Clinical Oncology last year. Although DeLauro's bill has broad bipartisan support, its passage isn't guaranteed. In the fall of 2008, an earlier version of the bill passed in the House 421 to two, only to sputter and stall in the Senate under pressure from the health insurance lobby. But with healthcare reform on the horizon, DeLauro is optimistic. At press time, the bill was being reviewed by committees, and its sponsors were pressing for a vote by the end of the year.

Morris county, n.J. man arraigned for distribution images of child sexual abuse over internet
October 10, 2012 |
Defendant Possessed More Than 46,000 Images of Child Pornography
Including 1,000 Images of Infants and Toddlers
NEWARK, N.J. – A Morris County, N.J., man was arraigned by Judge William H. Walls today for possessing and distributing over the Internet images of child sexual abuse, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Khalil Survey, 39, of Lake Hiawatha, N.J., was previously arrested on a Criminal Complaint and later charged by Indictment with one count of possession of child pornography and one count of distributing child pornography.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
Special agents of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and other law enforcement executed a search warrant at Survey's home on Aug. 4, 2011, and seized a computer, an iPhone, and several electronic storage devices that contained images and videos of alleged child pornography. In total, the devices included 46,353 images of child sexual abuse, including 983 images involving infants or toddlers, and 783 images involving sadomasochistic abuse. On the defendant's iPhone were "screen captures" of him downloading what appeared to be images of child pornography on a peer-to-peer ("P2P") network on a desktop computer. Survey, who is unemployed, is a student at Morris County Community College.
On the distribution count, Survey faces a maximum potential penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents of ICE-HSI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Andrew M. McLees in Newark, with the investigation leading to the Indictment.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew J. Bruck of the U.S. Attorney's Office General Crimes Unit in Newark.

Yahoo! Should Be Trembling Over Dan Loeb's Section 220(b) Request
Dan Loeb seems like the kind of guy who knows his way around a box of documents. That's bad news for Yahoo!, because he's likely to get just that after requesting board records under a Delaware legal provision, a professor at the state's Widener School of Law says.
Here's the catch-up: Mr. Loeb uncovered the lie on Yahoo! boss Scott Thompson's resume by calling Stonehill College and enquiring if the institution offered a computer science major at the time of Thompson's graduation (it didn't). He uncovered the lie on the resume of Patti S. Hart, the director who headed the hiring process that landed Thompson at Yahoo!'s helm, by comparing the credentials listed in a 1991 press release with those supplied in 1998.
Now it looks like Mr. Loeb, manager of hedge fund Third Point Capital, may get access to all records, minutes, e-mails and notes pertaining to the hiring process—a scary thought if you're Mr. Thompson, Ms. Hart, of the Willkie Farr & Gallagher associates tasked with the document dive. Read More

Sophomore Advising
As sophomores, students have a better idea of their personal educational goals and need to consider the declaration of a major, the possible development of a B.S.S. degree, individualized major, fellowships, internships, and off-campus study options. It is possible that your advisee may need or want to change advisors. Provide guidance and support, assuring the advisee that this is normal during the sophomore year.Topics for consideration:
Review all-college requirements
Review Cornell's educational priorities and progress toward meeting those
Application deadlines for off-campus study
Discuss pre-law, pre-health professions, pre-MBA, teacher certification, Cornell Fellows, and national scholarships and direct interested students to appropriate offices.

Under Armour/Inside Lacrosse High School Power Rankings: Final Analysis
Terry Foy - 6/18/2009
Finishing off business two years in the making, Under Armour/Inside Lacrosse High School Power Ranking National Champion Gilman saved their best game for last say midfielder Jack Doyle and attackman Marcus Holman.
The 13-7 win over Calvert Hall came just two weeks after the Cardinals had given the Greyhounds all they could handle in a tightly contested 14-12 regular season affair, the offense clicked perfectly, goalie Conor McGee was sharp and his defense stifling for coach Brooks Matthews' first championship and the school's first MIAA title since 2000.
The performance capped a season throughout which fans could tell the Greyhounds were constantly on the brink of reaching their potential, a problem that caught up to them when they ran in to Boys' Latin and their hot goalie in the Greyhounds' only loss of the year. For the effort, Doyle earned the Baltimore Sun's Player of the Year and three of his teammates earned first team All-Met.
The margin between Nos. 1 and 2 was slim as the West Islip Lions made a fine case for the top spot, winning a third New York Class A championship in four years (and avoiding an IL cover jinx). After topping a talented Yorktown squad with a nice gameplan and solid performances, the Lions finished off the task against Orchard Park on the strength of four goals from UNC-bound junior Nicky Galasso. The Lions' lone loss came at the hands of a Ward Melville team with whom they've developed a nice rivalry, and which they avenged in the Suffolk County final.
Checking in at No. 3 are the Manhasset Indians, the New York Class C champions whose 2009 squad added another chapter to their rich heritage. Connor English led the way, scoring nine goals in the win over LaFayette, a high-powered offense that led the Lancers to a top 10 finish in their own right. Limiting the burn of a midseason overtime loss to Comsewogue was the Indians' getting past Cold Spring Harbor in the Section 8 finals, a ghost that has haunted them in recent years.
No. 4 is Calvert Hall, a well-rounded senior-laden squad featuring Under Armour All-American attakcman Patrick Fanshaw (Loyola) and defenseman Chris Lightner (Johns Hopkins). The Cardinals finished a deceptive 14-4, with two of their losses coming to Gilman, one to Canadian power the Hill Academy and the other to No. 5 St. Mary's Annapolis, which they avenged in the MIAA semifinals.
The Saints check in at No. 5 after a fine season in which they started outside of the preseason Under Armour/Inside Lacrosse High School Power Rankings, but worked their way up with impressive wins over Texas power Highland Park and then running through the MIAA after dropping their opening game to Gilman.
—Terry Foy
Coming in at No. 6 is St. Anthony's, featuring schedule that more powerhouses than nearly any team on the list. Coach Keith Wieczorek's squad battled all season. After starting their season 2-0, the Friars quickly suffered losses to league rival Chaminade and perennial power Yorktown. They moved on to take care of business against Delbarton, Fairfield Prep, New Canaan, Wilton and Chaminade twice, the second time winning their first NYCHSAA title in four years in front of a packed crowd at Hofstra's Shuart Stadium, 17-9 over the Flyers.
In a scene that has been dominated by Mountain Lakes and Delbarton most of the decade, No. 7 Summit ran through their schedule after losing their first game to Delbarton at home. According to Delbarton coach Chuck Ruebling, the Hilltoppers' tough schedule helped them improve more than his team over the course of the year and win the state title, avenging their early season loss at the hands of the Green Wave.
La Salle paves the way for Pennsylvania in our top 25 at No. 8. With a litany of talent, including players slated to attend Maryland, Georgetown and Hopkins, it was surprising to see the Explorers falter to 1-3 to start their season with an upset against Conestoga, and overtime losses to Gilman and Calvert Hall. However, they bounced back and highlighted by their season with wins over New York's upstate powerhouse, West Genesee and the MIAA's McDonogh, then culminated in an inaugural PIAA title over Conestoga, 7-3.
IL's No. 1 recruit John Greeley played on the second midfield line for LaFayette for much of their 23-1 season that saw them peak at No. 3 in the UA/IL Power Rankings — that's how talented the Lancers' offense was. Sophomore midfielder Lyle Thompson sparked the offense and junior attackmen Miles Thompson and Jeremy Bersevoy, along with senior Gehnew Printup helped put in goals.
At No. 10, Deerfield tied for the New England West Division 1 title and concluded their season with an impressive 15-1 record. The Big Green's only loss came at the hands of the Salisbury School and were led by their defense — Mike Morris signed with Georgetown, Peter Johnson is on his way to Yale, and Rob Castelo is heading to Princeton.

She won Hong Kong's first-ever Olympic gold medal in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. The female windsurfer's achievement was monumental for Hong Kong -- in the media frenzy that followed, San San famously proclaimed...
"Hong Kong athletes are not rubbish!"
Shortly thereafter Hong Kong was gripped by a city-wide optimism that's been unmatched since, save perhaps when the Hang Seng Index hit 30,000 points in late 2007. The Cheung Chau native has since started a family with former teammate Wong Tak-sum and was the first to run the Hong Kong leg of the 2008 Olympic torch relay.
My only question is how this reputable publication left out Jian YIN who won China's first ever Olympic gold medal in sailing after a nail-biting finish to the Women's RS:X Medal Race.

The House of Mr. Naipaul
Between Father and Son: Family Letters
In an essay called "Prologue to an Autobiography," V.S. Naipaul tells a story about Indian immigrants in Trini-dad. These immigrants had wanted to escape the general dereliction of late-nineteenth-century North India, and they had gone out to another British colony, Trinidad, to work there as indentured laborers. Many of them would have been attracted by the promise of a small grant of land after the end of their contract, or a free return trip to India with their families. But the promise had been fitfully redeemed by the colonial administration; and there were destitute and homeless Indians everywhere in Trinidad, people without land, or hope of returning to India.
Then, in 1931, a ship called the SS Ganges took a thousand Indians back to India. It returned the next year, and could take only a thousand among the many more who wanted to go. But when the SS Ganges reached, on this second trip, the port of Calcutta, it was stormed by hundreds of immigrants it had brought on the first trip—immigrants who now wanted to go back to Trinidad, because whatever little they saw of India had proved to be a nightmare.
When you travel now through the part of North India that many of the ancestors of Trinidad Indians, including Naipaul, originally lived in—the eastern wing of the state of Uttar Pradesh—you can still see the India the first immigrants to Trinidad left behind: the India of immemorial poverty and desolation, of dusty country roads, mud huts with low thatched roofs, and buffaloes tethered in cow dung-paved courtyards. You can still see children in rags, the long-veiled women hunched over cooking fires, and the shrunken human figures toiling in flat wheat and rice fields.
From this India, Naipaul's grandfather had been brought to Trinidad as a baby in 1880, an India that the poor Indian community re-created in rural parts of Trinidad; and it was to this India that Naipaul's father, Seepersad, born in 1906, almost went back as a boy. He and his mother had gone through the formalities for repatriation, but then at the immigration depot Seepersad panicked and hid himself in a latrine overlooking the sea until his mother changed her mind.
She, if not Seepersad, would have had some regret about that. Things hadn't gone well until then for this family of Brahmin immigrants in Trinidad; and they weren't going to improve much for Seepersad's mother. Seepersad's father, a village pundit, died young, and the sudden destitution forced his elder brother, while still a child, to work in the sugar-cane fields for eight cents a day—half a century later, the memory of his destroyed childhood made him weep before Naipaul, his nephew. Seepersad's illiterate sister was sent away to work in the house of a relative; she suffered two unhappy marriages. Seepersad's early life, too, was hard; he lived with his mother's sister, went to school during the day, and …

1 FaultyJethwa | 06/01/2014 | See all Jethwa's reviews (1)This item appeared great when I opened it, looked genuine but once I plugged it in nothing happened, It only worked if I pushed the cabled into the phone with force which wasn't useful.
1 Utter waste of moneyJackAl82 | 20/08/2013 | See all JackAl82's reviews (1)As cheap as these are they're a complete waste of cash - ordered two, both of which seemed to work for a few days before stopping (which suggests that it wasn't a single faulty cable). Would recommend spending at least 10 sheets on a charging cable if you don't want to shell out for the official one.

[JURIST] Cigarette manufacturer Philip Morris USA [corporate website] on Friday asked [cert. petition, PDF] the US Supreme Court [official website; JURIST news archive] to overturn a 2006 district court ruling [JURIST report] that held the tobacco industry [JURIST news archive] liable under civil racketeering laws for deceiving American consumers as to the health effects of their products. Philip Morris argued that the trial court's decision did not properly consider issues involving the First Amendment [text] and that the government's application of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) [18 USC § 19611968] was overbroad. The company gave its reasoning for the appeal:
The government's use of injunctive litigation to obtain regulatory authority that it had been unable to secure through the legislative and administrative processes upended the First Amendment, distorted RICO beyond recognition, and vastly exceeded the remedial authority of Article III courts. Absent further review, the government will henceforth be free to pervert RICO into a device for evading the legislative process, penalizing and chilling public debate on scientific matters, and constraining constitutionally protected speech through vague and sweeping injunctions. And, the government will be able to do so without significant procedural protections beyond the findings of a single judge.
[JURIST] Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley [official profile] moved for summary judgment [text, PDF] Thursday in a lawsuit [complaint, PDF] challenging the constitutionality of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) [text, JURIST news archive]. The case will be decided in the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts [court website]. If the motion for summary judgment is granted, the DOMA, which defines marriage as the legal union between a man and a woman, would be declared unconstitutional without a trial. Excerpts from Coakley's memorandum supporting the motion for summary judgment outline the commonwealth's argument:
First, DOMA violates the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits Congress from intruding on areas of exclusive State authority, of which the definition and regulation of marriage is perhaps the clearest example. ... Second, DOMA - which Defendants admit is "discriminatory" - violates the Spending Clause by forcing the Commonwealth to engage in invidious discrimination against its own citizens in order to receive and retain federal funds in connection with two joint federal-state programs.
[JURIST] Lawyers for former Panamanian military leader Manuel Noriega [BBC backgrounder, JURIST news archive] filed a petition [text, PDF] with the US Supreme Court [official website] Friday seeking to block his extradition to France. Noriega is relying on the dissenting opinion by Justice Clarence Thomas in the court's January decision to deny certiorari in Noriega's appeal of a lower court's decision allowing extradition [JURIST reports]. Noriega argues that hearing his case would enable the Supreme Court to clarify the law after Boumediene v. Bush [opinion, PDF; JURIST report], which granted federal courts the power to review habeas petitions brought by "enemy combatants." He also contends that a ruling in this case could resolve confusion as to whether § 5 of the Military Commission Act of 2006 (MCA) [text, PDF] constitutes a suspension of the writ of habeas corpus and whether it precludes prisoners such as Noriega from bringing claims under the Geneva Conventions [materials]. The petition argues that without clarification, "district courts considering as many as 200 habeas petitions will be forced to determine factual questions under a fog of uncertain constitutional jurisprudence," and that, unless the Court resolves the confusion, "the innocent and the guilty alike will continue to be denied meaningful review of both the conditions of their confinement and the length of their detention."The US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit [official website] upheld [opinion, PDF] Noriega's extradition in April, ruling he could not bring a claim to enforce rights under the Geneva Conventions because he was precluded by the MCA. Noriega was challenging a district court's August 2007 ruling that allowed his extradition [JURIST report] to France, where he is wanted on charges of money laundering through French banks. Noriega and his wife were sentenced in absentia [Reuters report] to 10 years in jail in 1999, but France has agreed to hold a new trial if he is extradited. Noriega has made multiple attempts to block his extradition. In addition to a January 2008 ruling [JURIST report] by US District Court Judge Paul Huck, another federal judge rejected [JURIST report] Noriega's arguments to block extradition in September 2007. The US State Department has indicated that it is satisfied that France will treat Noriega as a POW [JURIST report] if Noriega is extradited to that country.
[JURIST] The US Departments of Agriculture (USDA) and Justice (DOJ) [official websites] on Thursday announced [press release] a $1.25 billion settlement for African American farmers claiming they suffered racial discrimination in USDA loan programs. The settlement arises from the Pigford Case [CRS backgrounder, PDF], a class-action suit that was re-opened with the passage [JURIST report] of a 2008 Farm Bill [HR 6124 materials] to farmers left out of a 1999 settlement after missing a filing deadline and to thousands more who argued that the terms of the settlement were inadequate. Under the terms of the new settlement, individual farmers may demonstrate their entitlement to relief through a non-judicial claims process, and:
claimants who establish their credit-related claims will be entitled to receive up to $50,000 and debt relief. A separate track may provide actual damages of up to $250,000 through a more rigorous process. The actual value of awards may be reduced based on the total amount of funds made available and the number of successful claims.
[JURIST] Niger's military leaders on Thursday suspended the country's constitution [text, DOC] and dissolved all state institutions after the coup [JURIST report] that took place the same day. A spokesperson for the military junta, which is calling itself the Supreme Council for the Restoration of Democracy (CSRD), made the announcement [Reuters report] on state TV. The African Union (AU) [official website] condemned the coup in a statement [text, PDF] issued Friday by AU Chairperson of the Commission Jean Ping:
The Chairperson of the Commission stresses that the relevant AU instruments systematically condemn any unconstitutional change and, accordingly, he condemns the seizure of power by force that took place in Niger. He calls for the speedy return to constitutional order and affirms the readiness of the AU, in close collaboration with ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States), to facilitate such a process.
[JURIST] Judges from the International Criminal Court (ICC) [official website] Pre-Trial Chamber II requested Friday that chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo [official profile] provide additional information [press release] regarding his request to open a formal investigation [JURIST report] into allegations of crimes against humanity committed during the 2007-2008 post-election violence in Kenya [JURIST news archive]. The judges stated that clarification and additional information was necessary to properly exercise their review function authorized under Article 15 of the Rome Statute [text]. Moreno-Ocampo's submission to investigate the Kenyan situation is historic, in that it is the first time he has used his proprio motu power, which allows him to initiate formal investigations upon authorization by the Pre-Trial Chamber. All other investigations conducted by the prosecutor have been at the behest of state parties [materials] or the UN Security Council [official website].The ICC assigned three judges [JURIST report] to the Kenyan situation in November after receiving a letter from Moreno-Ocampo in which he said that he intended to request formal authorization to initiate an investigation. The investigation may only proceed if Kenya does not conduct its own investigation into the matter, which it has thus far failed to do [JURIST report]. Earlier in November, Moreno-Ocampo met with Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki [official profile] and opposition leader Raila Odinga [campaign website] to inform them of his plans to seek an investigation. Moreno-Ocampo first stated his intentions [JURIST report] to pursue the matter in October, citing Kenya's ratification of the Rome Statute as grounds for jurisdiction. In August, Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website] called for an independent tribunal [JURIST report] with international support and participation because "the Kenyan judiciary lacks independence," and the necessary reforms announced [transcript] by the Kenyan Cabinet [official website] in late July would be insufficient. Earlier in July, Moreno-Ocampo received and reviewed a sealed envelope sent to the ICC [JURIST reports] by former UN secretary-general and current chairman of the African Union Panel of Eminent African Personalities Kofi Annan [UN profile] that contained a list of suspects believed to be responsible for the violence. More than 1,000 people were killed and 500,000 displaced following allegations of fraud [JURIST report] in the country's presidential election.
[JURIST] Bolivian President Evo Morales [official website, in Spanish; BBC profile] on Thursday appointed [press release, in Spanish] 18 judges ahead of the country's judicial elections, calling the move "the beginning of the decolonization of the judiciary." The appointees will fill five vacancies on the country's Supreme Court, five on the Constitutional Court, and three on the Judiciary Council, while five others were named alternates. All will serve until judicial elections are held on December 5. Though roughly 20 of 26 high-level judicial posts were unoccupied prior to the announcement, the move has drawn criticism [BBC report] from Morales's opponents who fear it jeopardizes the judiciary's independence. The Bolivian National Congress [official website, in Spanish] passed legislation [Reuters report] last week authorizing Morales to appoint judicial officials on an interim basis until the election.Popular election of high-level judicial officials is required under the country's new constitution, which went into effect last February after being approved [JURIST reports] via referendum in January 2009. In October 2008, the Bolivian National Congress ratified [JURIST report] the proposed reforms [JURIST news archive] after Morales agreed not to run for re-election in 2014. In August 2008, Morales won a confidence referendum, which he personally proposed [JURIST reports] in a bid to legitimize his campaign for the constitutional changes.
[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit [official website] ruled [opinion, PDF] Thursday that the state of Louisiana must issue a revised birth certificate for the adopted child of a same-sex couple showing both fathers' names. In 2006, Oren Adar and Mickey Ray Smith adopted their child in New York, where unmarried couples can legally adopt. The child was born in Louisiana, and the state refused to issue a birth certificate naming both fathers. The appeals court held that Louisiana is required to give full faith and credit to the New York adoption decree, upholding the judgment [opinion, PDF] of the district court. The appeals court described the weight of precedent in favor of the parents:
[T]here is virtually universal acknowledgment that Louisiana owes full faith and credit to the New York adoption decree and must recognize that the Adoptive Parents are [the] legal parents. Numerous authorities hold that a state must afford out-of-state adoption decrees full faith and credit. The parental rights and status of the Adoptive Parents, as adjudicated by the New York court, are not confined within that state's borders and do not cease to exist at Louisiana's borders.
[JURIST] A judge for the US District Court for the Southern District of New York [official website] announced at a hearing Thursday he is not ready to rule on a proposed class action settlement [Authors Guild backgrounder] in a copyright suit [case materials] over Google's book-scanning initiative [corporate website; JURIST news archive]. Judge Denny Chin heard arguments [AP report] from both sides on whether the settlement adequately protects the rights of publishers and authors and whether it violates antitrust law. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) [advocacy website] argued that the proposed settlement fails to adequately protect the privacy interests [press release] of readers, stating:
Because the settlement does not contain any privacy protections for users, Google's system will be able to monitor which books users search for, which pages of the books they read and how long they spend on each page. Google could then combine information about readers' habits and interests with additional information it collects from other Google services, creating a massive "digital dossier" that would be highly tempting and possibly vulnerable to fishing expeditions by law enforcement or civil litigants.

This is a gorgeous, solid hardwood dining room set that surpassed all our expectations. The wood is a beautiful reddish/brown color with inlaid pieces you can't really see in the picture. The chairs are sturdy and have a durable white "pleather-ish" material that is easy to clean with a wet rag or some simple household cleaner. Compared to similar sets we were looking at, this was easily the best selection. Comparable sets costs $2,000-$4,000, and with Overstock's free shipping it was even a bigger bargain. It arrived at our house within 10 days, and while I had to assemble the pieces, it was easy to do with allen bolts and the wrench that was provided. Be warned. Because this is solid rubber-wood, this is a very heavy piece of furniture. The table alone (with the leafs) probably weighs upwards of 150 lbs.
Fabulous looking dining room table that is both modern and upscale. Great size with 3 chairs at each side plus two at the end. The 'cutouts' at top of the chairs are lined with some brushed nickel type of metal. Also, this accent piece is at the top of each table leg as can be barely seen on the picture. Some of these accent pieces on the chairs are slightly discolored/stained looking. I will attempt to fix, but since it is a small area in comparison to the overall chair size, I may just leave as is. Also, one chair had a front leg that was either too short or too long that caused the chair to noticeably wobble. However, Overstock quickly sent me a replacement. Other than the two issues mentioned, the dining table is very sleek and modern looking, sturdy/heavy, excellent color (just as pictured) and overall we (hubby and I) almost love it!
This table set is just beautiful. I have a large extended family that loves to come to my home to eat and I wanted enough room for everyone and this set is perfect for that. It is made of very sturdy materials and the chairs are beautiful. The only issues I had was that it took my daughter and I about 4-5 hours to put it together but I knew when it was done it would be nice. Also my nephew sat in the chair in his blue jeans and the blue faded on to the chair. I plan to cover the chairs in plastic so they can stay nice and white. Overall, this set is just as it is pictured. The wood is dark, the chair seat is off white, and very comfortable.
Perfect! Put both the 2 leafs in storage and the size of the table is exactly what I've been looking for. The chairs are wide and beautiful, my kids make a mess during dinner but I just wipe it off and it looks great. The seats are made of pleather so it's kid friendly and has an elegant look to it. The color, look, comfort of the chairs, the 2 extra leaves for guests, the freedom to change the sizes, it has everything I was looking for.
Ordered this dining room set because it is beautiful and price was right. Received our order and there was a few things wrong. The arms of one of the chairs was damaged, one of the legs was messed up and so was the cushion. One of the backs had a scratch, but I'm going to try to polish it out. Overstock sent us replacements for each damaged item at no cost to us, which was nice. One of the chairs wobbles a bit but we were able to fix it so no one knew. Overall, you get what you pay for. Had we paid $2000 for a set, I would expect NO issues, but since the price was reasonable, I kinda took the issues as "well, for the price, it's ok". Still love the look and the color. It is a heavy piece of furniture which is nice. I have recieved many compliments on the set. I would have given it 5 stars if we didn't have the problems that we did.
This was my first online purchase for any kind of furniture and I was worried that I would receive something that is completely different from my expectation but I am glad that I gave it a try. This sure is the best online purchase I've ever made! The set is heavy, sturdy and just so luxurious. I've received so many compliments from my family and friends and a lot of them even seriously considered buying one for them as well. The only thing I wasn't so happy with is the delivery. It took a full four weeks!!! Since most of the reviews said it arrived within 2 wks, I planned to throw a housewarming party about 4 wks apart from the order date but it did not arrive on time. But I guess I can't complain too much about it as Overstock stated that delivery for oversized item may take up to 1-6 weeks. If you ever going to buy this item in preparation of throwing a party, plan ahead and make sure you order this at least 6 weeks before the date. Other than that, I would highly recommend this set to anyone!!
Table is just as described. Did take a long time to assemble though.
This dining set is absolutely beautiful. It looks more beautiful in real life than in the picture. The price is great and the quality is wonderful. The delivery was within 2 week, sooner than expected and the set up was quite easy. We've received lots of compliment about our dining set. It is very unique, beautiful, sturdy and well made. Definitely a good buy.
Really a nice dining room set. went together really easy. beautiful finish.
This dining set is well worth the money. It is very surdy, heavy and has a modern yet elegant look. THe color is very similar to what you see on the pic. We have received many compliments on this dining set.

Salve Regina's choral ensembles offer students opportunities to develop their vocal and musical skills through the performance of repertoire in a variety of musical styles.
The four ensembles - University Chorus, Madrigals Chorus, Cliffnotes (men's a cappella) and Pitches with Attitude (women's a cappella) - present choral performances that run the gamut from formal concerts in Ochre Court with soloists and orchestras to informal performances at events sponsored by the Salve Music Ensembles Club. Opportunities to sing solo and in small groups at selected concerts are available to members by audition.

Students may register for the vocal ensembles for either 0 or 1 credit, or get involved as an extracurricular activity by becoming a member of the Salve Music Ensembles Club. A short audition is required for all ensembles except University Chorus, which is open to all members of the campus community without audition.
Opportunities to travel with the choral ensembles are available. Previous concert tours have included trips to Ireland, Italy, Montreal, Quebec City, Baltimore and Washington, D.C.
For more information regarding rehearsal times, a schedule of performances and how you can get involved, contact Donald St. Jean, choral director, at email@example.com.

I hunted in Mahenye outside of Gonarezhou 2 years ago in late October with Johnny Hulme of Zambezi hunters. Later in the year seems to be better in this area as elephants are moving out of the park for water at the Zim/Mozambique border. I was able to take a 78 pounder with 7' ivory. Johnny is a great PH who is a elephant hunting machine. He has enjoyed great success over the last few years in the area. Some people have gone home empty handed, but the area is almost a given for a 50+ pound elephant and a real possibility of taking something much larger. Check his references as the results speak for themselves.
Toslatso is also well known for the large elephant they take.
These hunts are not your typical tracking hunt. You are cruising the borders for elephants/tracks as they come out of the parks and hopefully find one. The time of year you go is important as feed and water will dictate movement.
Once I finish hunting the various antelope species, my game plan is to hunt buffalo and elephant every year.

BEST for big Tuskers, Tuskless, Priced, Satisfying hunt?
- Member of NWTF, NRA
It seems that there are big elephants coming from a lot of different places in the last couple of years. SSG safaris hunts next to Gonarezhou national park. They have taken a 66, 70 & 101 pounder this year.
I have walked in the tracks of the elephant, heard the lion roar and met the buffalo on his terms. I shall never be the same.

I think the best bet for consistent results on big bulls in Zimbabwe is offered in the Forestry areas around Hwange Park. September until the rains come can be exceptional there with clients actually seeing 100's of bulls on their safaris. The pic below is me with two sets off tusks taken by one client on a safari just previous to mine. They are 76#-77# and 78#-79#.
I hunted the Forestry area called Ngamo Sikumi in '07 and got my sable and eland that I was there for in 3 days and then left for the Save. During that 3 days the elephant hunter in camp looked over 64 bulls. Turning down 4-5 in that 40#-50# range as he was looking for something in the 60#-70# range.
Prices are not outrageous and the hunting is not physically demanding. If you'd like further information on this hunt please contact me anytime.

I was about to as about Ngamo Sikumi, because I heard that in the right time of the year you can find good big bulls in there.
But I heard you have to go there in the right time of the year to find those.
What is the best time to hunt in there? I imagine the best time of the year is at the very end of the season when the bulls leave the park looking for water.

I heard you can hunt the elephant at night with the moonlight. However I prefer tracking them during the day.
Alcornoque - well depends on what you want.
As mentioned above tracking them by day. A good tusker. A fair hunt. A good price.
I can do you a deal on a good elephant bull + a buffalo bull, 15 days = $ 35 000 USD including Buffalo and Elephant Trophy that incorporates all the above in it. The hunt would take place in the S.E. of Zimbabwe on the Limpopo River, the area is called Sengwe 1 and borders both the Kruger National Park and Gonarezhou National Park, minimum size on ivory is 60 pounds, and the area has produced 60/70/80/90 and 100 pounders.
best time of year, from now till end Oct mid Nov at the latest. 15 days of hunting you will get a good elephant of 60 plus pounds and a good buffalo of 40 plus inches plus a whole lot of good times in between, so it boils down to what sort of weather you want to hunt in, there are various factors that pull elephant into my area year round - so its all about the heat
If you would like more information and some photos and references please do not hesitate to contact me.Aubrey Kent

Hunting at Night in Zimbabwe
National Parks Safari Areas
National Parks Safari Areas are land in more remote marginal areas, unsuitable for agriculture but ideal for game and hunting operations on a sustainable off-take basis.
• Trophy hunting may take place from half an hour before sunrise until half an hour after sunset during the hunting season.
• Hunting is not allowed at night and no hunting is allowed with artificial light.
Communal (tribal) Land
Communal (tribal) Lands are traditionally held by indigenous people. Government grants authority to local District Councils to assume responsibility for the management and utilization of the wildlife. With assistance from National Parks the council decides on a sustainable annual quota of animals to be hunted and offers them to safari (hunting) operators on a tender basis. The funds thus generated go to benefit local development, such as building bridges and schools and installing grinding mills, and also to compensate local families whose crop production has been reduced by marauding wildlife. This scheme is known as CAMPFIRE (Communal Areas management Plan For Indigenous Resources).
• On hunting designated Communal (tribal) Land, trophy hunting may take place within the hours of daylight during the hunting season.
• Hunting is allowed at night for nocturnal species such as Lion, Leopard, Bushpig, etc. and the use of artificial light and night vision scopes is permitted.
Alienated (private) Land
Alienated (private) Lands are held by individuals. Game hunting quotas are based upon what the landowner deems appropriate and subject to the approval of the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZPWMA).
• Within the parameters of various wildlife protection laws, the landowner set the standard of what he considers ethical. The safari operator may also apply his own standard in addition to the landowner, if not the same person.
• Methods of hunting, such as bowhunting, handgun hunting, hunting with dogs for cats, hunting at night with artificial light are all permitted and at the discretion of the landowner.
