Marco Rubio on Energy & Oil
When we point out that no matter how many job-killing laws we pass, our government can't control the weather--he accuses us of wanting dirty water and dirty air.
When we suggest we strengthen our safety net programs by giving states more flexibility to manage them--he accuses us of wanting to leave the elderly and disabled to fend for themselves.
And tonight, he even criticized us for refusing to raise taxes to delay military cuts--cuts that were his idea in the first place. But his favorite attack of all is that those who don't agree with him--they only care about rich people.
[During the Senate primary], Crist falsely claimed I had supported cap and trade. He cited an interview in which I made the assumption that some form of cap and trade would eventually become national law. I suggested that Florida should prepare for the inevitable by adopting a policy of its own. But I didn't support cap and trade. I wrote an opinion piece denouncing the governor's executive orders shortly after he announced them.
Florida should implement a voluntary statewide incentive program for energy efficiency. Florida should explore incentives for homes that pledge to meet the FGBS or similar standards. Increasing the energy efficiency of new homes will save homeowners money and will reduce the need for costly new electric generating facilities.
Florida should create an Energy Efficiency Fund to offer loans to public schools, public hospitals, cities, counties, special districts, and public care institutions. Eligible projects are those with proven energy savings, such as lighting and HVAC efficiency improvements.
Solar energy & biofuels appear to be especially promising alternative energy sources for Florida. Florida has obvious advantages in the area of solar energy and is also pursuing the productio of ethanol. Recent scientific developments and expected future developments could greatly expand the types of feedstock available to produce ethanol at a lower cost than that of either corn or sugar. Thanks to past initiatives, Florida also appears to have achieved a leadership position in the development of hydrogen power. Clean, safe nuclear energy is another promising option to diversify Florida's energy portfolio. Other promising areas include waste-to-energy conversion and wind and water power.
Solution: Offer incentives to encourage purchases of hybrid vehicles.
Many states, Florida included, passed legislation to help consumers offset the initial price of purchasing a hybrid vehicle. And like other states, Florida currently offers hybrid vehicle owners a commuting advantage. Hybrid drivers are allowed to drive in the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane at any time, regardless of their vehicle occupancy.
Florida should offer free and/or discounted parking and free or reduced tolls on Florida's toll roads for high fuel efficiency vehicles. The idea would be fairly easy to implement--hybrid vehicle owners could simply obtain a special E-PASS allowing hybrid vehicles to pass through tolls at a free or discounted rate. Additionally, Florida should provide tax incentives for all clean alternative-fueled vehicles and hybrid passenger vehicles that get at least 40 miles per gallon on the highway.
Proponent's Argument for voting Yes:
[Sen. McConnell, R-KY]: The White House is trying to impose a backdoor national energy tax through the EPA. It is a strange way to respond to rising gas prices. But it is perfectly consistent with the current Energy Secretary's previously stated desire to get gas prices in the US up to where they are in Europe.
Opponent's Argument for voting No:
[Sen. Lautenberg, D-NJ]:We hear the message that has been going around: Let's get rid of the EPA's ability to regulate. Who are they to tell us what businesses can do? Thank goodness that in this democratic society in which we live, there are rules and regulations to keep us as a civilized nation. The Supreme Court and scientists at the Environmental Protection Agency agreed that the Clean Air Act is a tool we must use to stop dangerous pollution. This amendment, it is very clear, favors one group--the business community. The Republican tea party politicians say: "Just ignore the Supreme Court. Ignore the scientists. We know better." They want to reward the polluters by crippling EPA's ability to enforce the Clean Air Act.
Status: Failed 50-50 (3/5
No Climate Tax Pledge: "I pledge to the taxpayers of my state, and to the American people, that I will oppose any legislation relating to climate change that includes a net increase in government revenue."
Sponsoring organizations: Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEU); National Taxpayers Union (NTU); Institute for Liberty Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is a nationwide organization of citizen-leaders committed to advancing every individual's right to economic freedom and opportunity. AFP believes reducing the size and intrusiveness of government is the best way to promote individual productivity and prosperity for all Americans.
The Contract from America, clause 2. Reject Cap & Trade:
Stop costly new regulations that would increase unemployment, raise consumer prices, and weaken the nation's global competitiveness with virtually no impact on global temperatures.
The Contract from America, clause 8. Pass an 'All-of-the-Above' Energy Policy:
Authorize the exploration of proven energy reserves to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources from unstable countries and reduce regulatory barriers to all other fo
Faith2Action.org is "the nation's largest network of pro-family groups." They provide election resources for each state, including Voter Guides and Congressional Scorecards excerpted here. The Faith2Action survey summarizes candidate stances on the following topic: 'Passage of Cap-and-Trade Energy Legislation'
Congressional Summary:Authorizes a state to establish a program covering the leasing and permitting processes, regulatory requirements, and any other provisions by which the state would exercise its rights to develop all forms of energy resources on available federal land in the state.
Proponent's argument for bill: (The Heritage Foundation): This important piece of legislation would allow state control of energy resources on federal lands. America has harnessed technological advances in recent years in drilling and extracting energy resources that have caused a surge in domestic oil and gas in several areas of the country. Most of that production has occurred on private and state-owned lands, not federal lands where output has been on decline. The benefits of transferring power to the states over their own energy decisions: States have an interest in both boosting their economies by tapping into the energy resources available to them and protecting the environment. More importantly, they are best suited to fulfill these two goals, not the federal government.
Opponent's argument against bill:(The Wilderness Society): Oil and gas development can do serious damage to wildlands and waters, especially when it takes place in sensitive areas. The federal government began leasing public lands for energy development in 1920. We see energy development as a valid use of some public lands, but there are some wild places that must be protected. We work to ensure that the most stringent environmental precautions are applied when oil and gas development occurs on our public lands and that development does not happen in fragile wild areas. The Wilderness Society also makes sure that our most ecologically sensitive areas, such as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, remain permanently off limits to oil and gas companies.

Albert Pujols' wife Deidre weighed in on her husband's decision to leave the St. Louis Cardinals for the Los Angeles Angels, and says God had a hand in the process:
"When it all came down, I was mad. I was mad at God because I felt like all the signs that had been played out through the baseball field, our foundation, our restaurant, the Down Syndrome Center, my relationships, my home, my family close," Deidre Pujols told the station. "I mean, we had no reason, not one reason, to want to leave. People were deceived by the numbers."
Actually, Deidre Pujols was mad at more than just God. She was mad because, according to her, the Cardinals had originally offered only a five-year deal:
"When you have somebody say 'We want you to be a Cardinal for life' and only offer you a five-year deal, it kind of confused us," Deidre Pujols said. "Well, we got over that insult and felt like Albert had given so much of himself to baseball and into the community ... we didn't want to go through this again."
I dunno. Things like that in baseball are usually called "negotiations". The team starts low -- of course, they want to save money -- and the sides go back and forth. Instead of doing that, the Pujols camp decided to be "insulted". Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch summed it up pretty well on Monday:
Really? God ordered you to Anaheim? I wonder what God would have advised had the Angels offered less money than the Cardinals. I'm assuming God was angry over the Miami Marlins' refusal to offer no-trade protection in their contract bid. Can you tell us how God would have reacted if the Cardinals had offered $254 million or more over 10 years?
From Deidre's point of view, though:
Deidre Pujols also said she had no ill will toward the Cardinals or owner Bill DeWitt and that she understands the fans' frustration with her husband's decision.
"It's just like God," she said at the end of the interview, "to put us on a team called the Angels."
God again. I don't begrudge anyone his or her faith in God, but really, I can't imagine God cares where Albert Pujols plays baseball.

They've hurt children and they've hurt adults. Because of that, they'll always be known as sex offenders. These are people, in many cases, who by law now can't live too close to a daycare or church or school.
However, there is something they can do, something people may not often think about.
They can go to college and for the most part go unnoticed.
After searching through the more than 19,000 people on Tennessee's Sex Offender Registry, we found people classified as violent sex offenders who currently attend college in our area.
Northeast State Community College is a nice, quiet campus. But maybe things are a little too quiet. After all, there's something students don't know.
In their midst are convicted sex offenders with a range of convictions.
The news caught 20-year-old Megan Lowe off guard.
"They talk about it all the time and they say you can go online and see them around your neighborhood, but I never expected them at a college," Lowe said.
Before we broke the news to Lowe, the psychology major had every reason to feel safe while at school. Northeast State is home to surveillance cameras, a police force and emergency phones in the parking lots, but the college is also home to five sex offenders and two of them are classified as violent.
At one point, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation reported eight violent sex offenders were enrolled there. The school confirmed two are still students. The Sex Offender Registry classifies John Steven Miller and Phillip Lee Taylor as violent sex offenders. The TBI reports Miller was convicted of criminal attempt to commit rape of a child in 2000 and Taylor was convicted of attempted rape of a child in 1991.
However, most of their classmates and teachers would have never known that. The information is available, but it's just not publicized to the masses. Instead, students and teachers have to seek it out on their own from campus police.
"The laws do not require that (we notify students), so we would practice whatever the law is to handle those measures, but every student has a right to privacy, so we have to follow those laws," Northeast State Community College President Dr. Janice Gilliam said. "Our goal is to help them and rehabilitate them and we feel it's law enforcement's job to monitor them and keep track of them. We're engaged in turning lives around."
Over at the Tennessee Technology Center in Elizabethton, students shared a similar shock. The state says five violent sex offenders attended school there at one point. The school confirmed two are still enrolled. Tennessee Technology Center said Cory Richard Ferranti and Randall Wayne Kelly are both still students. Ferranti was convicted of a lewd lascivious act in the presence of a child under 16 years old in 1991 and Kelly was convicted of lewd or lascivious molestation on a child under 12 in 2000, the Sex Offender Registry revealed.
"I had no idea and it's kind of scary," 23-year-old student Cerissa Warner said after we told her. "It's really unsettling to know that we are in the same place as somebody who has hurt another person that way."
Like Northeast State, Tennessee Technology Center also doesn't publicize which of its students are sex offenders, for privacy reasons, according to Director Dean Blevins. However, unlike Northeast State, Blevins says at TTC, some faculty and staff are in the loop.
"I don't know that the realization is out there that there could be sex offenders sitting right across the aisle from you in class," Blevins said. "We monitor each student on a case-by-case basis and we let those folks know about a past offense on a case-by-case basis if they need to know."
Betsy Holtsclaw wishes she found out sooner. For the 23 year-old student it's personal.
"We should know, because that's our safety and our family's safety," Holtsclaw said. "I've had a family member that's gone through something like that, so I just don't agree with it at all. I know what it did to them."
Of the 19,222 sex offenders in Tennessee, we discovered 374 of those people are listed as students or employees of universities in Tennessee. None are currently enrolled in East Tennessee State University.
We feel students, faculty and teachers deserve to know who their classmates are, especially when they're classified as violent sex offenders. Sex offenders have every right to attend college as long as they don't violate the sex offender restrictions. We reached out to some sex offenders who are students in an effort to share their side of the story, but never heard back from them.
Although sex offenders do attend school at Tennessee Technology Center and Northeast State, both schools tell us in recent memory, they've received no reports of those people re-offending on campus.
Northeast State says for anyone who is concerned, the school offers police escorts to vehicles on request and rape aggression defense classes twice a year.
We also found at least one violent sex offender who was, according to the TBI, enrolled at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville in the past. However, the campus directory lists that person's status as inactive.

The first round of group stage matches at Euro 2012 come to a close in Kiev where co-hosts Ukraine will take on tournament dark host Sweden. As the co-hosts, Ukraine have high expectations, but they do have to fight that little problem of not being very good. That could complicate things.
What will also complicate things is Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Does Ukraine have the defense to neutralize him? Not a chance. There might not be any team in the tournament who could stop him so Ukraine certainly can't. Meanwhile, Sweden also have Ola Toivonen and an underrated midfield, which will make things extraordinarily tough on Ukraine. Unless Andriy Shevchenko can turn back the clock, this one could get ugly and ruin the co-hosts' day.
Ukraine (4-4-2): Andriy Pyatov; Oleh Gusev, Yevhen Khacheridi, Tara Mykhalyk, Yevhen Selin; Anatoliy Tymoshchuk; Andriy Yarmolenko, Serhiy Nazarenko, Yevhen Konoplyanka; Andriy Shevchenko, Andriy Voronin
Sweden (4-3-3): Andreas Isaksson; Mikael Lustig, Olof Mellberg, Andreas Granqvist, Martin Olsson; Sebastian Larsson, Kim Källström, Rasmus Elm; Markus Rosenberg, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ola Toivonen
We'll have live coverage in our Ukraine vs. Sweden, Euro 2012 StoryStream. For more on Euro 2012 and the entire world of football, follow @SBNationSoccer on twitter.

Congress has rebuffed the U.S. Postal Service on its plan to drop Saturday mail delivery in order to get expenses into a break-even situation.
As always, in a business that can find no other avenue for remedy, it will now turn to its labor force for concessions.
The long-beleaguered USPS has been looking, for many years, for ways to restore solvency. As anyone who has run any kind of an enterprise will attest, there are but two ways: raise revenues or cut costs.
Last year, USPS lost $5.1 billion. That was a bargain compared with this year's $15.9 billion.
Much of the red ink was due to mounting costs for future retiree health benefits, which made up $11.1 billion of the losses. Without that and other related labor expenses, the mail agency sustained an operating loss of $2.4 billion, lower than the previous year.
Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said the agency has been able to reduce costs significantly by boosting worker productivity. But he said the agency must be allowed to eliminate Saturday mail delivery and reduce its $5 billion annual payment for future health benefits — a virtually unheard-of burden in any other endeavor.
Earlier this year, the post office defaulted on two of those health-benefit payments. It is forecasting additional losses next year of roughly $7.6 billion.
Congress is trying to keep the vital public service functioning as Americans are used to having it. Cutting out Saturday delivery would affect almost everyone and would seriously damage or cripple some businesses, so that idea was rejected. Efforts to close many post offices were scrubbed when lawmakers around the country responded to public outcry.
Raising the price of a stamp is anathema to the Postal Service. However, in spite of the virtual saturation of the Internet, Americans still largely rely on mail and would likely forbear a price increase. Everyone understands the fix the Postal Service is in, and most people would be willing to pay a little extra for stamps to preserve Saturday service and maintain rural post offices.

Updated May 31, 2013 by Jehan Sheikh - Breast cancer patients and supports gather at a check presentation Friday morning at Via Christi Hospital in Pittsburg.
Hope 4 You Breast Cancer Foundation presented a $1,000 check to the Mount Carmel Foundation.
In 2012 the Mount Carmel Foundation gave Via Christi patients $32,439 to help cover expenses for cancer patients. Last year that included 433 gas cards, 517 supplements of Ensure, and it also covered pharmacy costs for 70 patients.
"As we give assistance to the different Cancer Center patients they are really so appreciative," says senior director Duane Dreiling. "They are sometimes not sure of how they're going to fill their tanks up with gas and getting that gas card really helps them to get here to receive services."
Hope 4 You holds several fundraising events every year to help with these costs. The next event is the 6th annual Race 4 hope Breast Cancer 5K run and 1 mile walk. That is scheduled for Saturday June 8.
Posted May 30, 2013 - News release from Via Christi Health in Pittsburg
PITTSBURG, Kan. (Thursday, May 30, 2013) – Mount Carmel Foundation's support of patients from the Via Christi Cancer Center is overwhelming. Thanks to a donation from the HOPE 4 You Breast Cancer Foundation, Mount Carmel Foundation's mission of supporting patients will continue to be strong.
HOPE 4 You will present a check to the Mount Carmel Foundation for $1,000 on Friday, May 31 at noon inside the Via Christi Cafeteria. The event is open to the entire community and all members of the media.
In the last year, the Mount Carmel Foundation gave $32,439 in support of Via Christi Cancer Center patients. That total includes 433 gas cards to help with travel expenses, along with 517 patients receiving nutritional supplements of Ensure, and another 70 patients financially supported with help for pharmacy costs. The Foundation also provides lodging for families and patients that drive long distances for treatment at the Via Christi Cancer Center.
"We rely on the support of the communities we serve and organizations like HOPE 4 You whewn it comes to serving with concern for our neighbors who are vulnerable," Mount Carmel Foundation Executive Director Duane Dreiling said. "A number of patients treated by the Via Christi Cancer Center need this type of support, and we realize the importance this has for them during their difficult time of battling cancer."
HOPE 4 You began in 2007, and is an acronym for Help, Outreach, Prevent and Educate. While there are many national and international organizations that assist in the eradication of breast cancer, the individuals and corporations who founded Hope 4 You wanted to determine where help can be provided "locally."

The only complaint we had was the Silk Harvest Restaurant. We are avid Asian Cuisine diners...having Sushi almost every week at home. We were expecting an incredible meal for the additional $50/couple extra charge. Even though the service was great and the servers tried very hard to please us, each course was lacking quality. We did address this to the Maitre'd and to Guest Relations and they credited our Shipboard account almost immediately.
We heard that the Murano was supposed to be incredible but we ran out of time to get there. Next time!!!
Each area of the ship was different and special but flowed nicely. We had a private balcony stateroom where we enjoyed room service 4 times for breakfast. That is a great memory all on it's own. Also, the room itself was large and had of plenty of storage (I am a notorious over-packer). We felt like we had plenty of room just to hang out when we wanted to. The flat screen TV was a very nice feature to view our account, see the location of the ship, plan and reserve excursions and other activities.
Captain Demitrius made an announcement almost every day at noon. He is very charming.
The Solstice is a first class Ship and we can't wait to board it again

The release of the recordings will be administered by the attorneys for the town of Newtown at their offices in Danbury. Calls to the state police in Litchfield however are not a part of this group of recordings. The Associated Press had challenged authorities' refusal to release the 911 tapes. A state attorney had tried to block the release to shield the victims' families. But last week, a Connecticut Superior Court judge upheld the Connecticut Freedom of Information Commission's ruling to release calls related to the December 14th shooting.

At first glance, the Washington Capitals' series-tying 3-2 victory over the New York Rangers makes it look like they are finally finding a balance under Dale Hunter. The team's fourth line continues to contribute, particularly with the spectacular play of Joel Ward to set up the opening goal. Their defense continues to frustrate the Rangers' attempts to set the tempo of the game. Braden Holtby responded with a strong effort, and best of all, two of his star players connected to create the game-winning goal thanks to Nicklas Backstrom's setup for a vintage Alex Ovechkin one-timer.
The truth, however, may be a little more complex.
While Hunter's management of the game did pay off, one wonders what the lasting relationship between himself and the team may end up being. Mike Green, the clear "weak link" of the defense in Game 1, still appeared somewhat suspect, and his 18 minutes of ice time were generously boosted with power play time. Had the Rangers not been kind enough to take two third-period minors, it's entirely possible that Green would have finished the night tied with Roman Hamrlik for the lowest ice time among Washington blueliners.
Meanwhile, Hunter's forward assignments seem like a slowly-building source of tension between the interim head coach and some of the highest paid players in the NHL.
Despite scoring the game-winning goal and leading the Capitals in postseason scoring, Ovechkin saw the ice for just 13:36 Monday, including three minutes of power play time. His third-period goal was a reminder of the laser-edged brilliance that has made him one of the NHL's most promoted stars. Receiving the feed, the great eight wound up and fired a wrist shot that almost seemed to move faster than the camera could track, and as the goal light went on, the crowd at MSG was treated to a celebration that seemed more like the goofy, constantly enthusiastic 22-year-old "Ovie", not the increasingly burdened and humorless captain of recent months.
Though the Russian sniper has previously stated that he'd happily take scoring less goals in exchange for a championship, he seemed increasingly restless as the third period went on without taking a shift. By the final minutes, one could be forgiven for expecting to see him cursing at another coach from the bench.
Almost as confusing is the 16 minutes for Backstrom, who is just behind Ovechkin with five points in eight games and has won almost 53 percent of his draws in the faceoff circle. This is a marked drop from his normal ~19+ minutes. Alexander Semin, who is tied for the team's postseason goal scoring lead? Twelve minutes, 27 seconds.
In fact, most of the normal "top six" for the Capitals averaged under 18 minutes with the exception of Troy Brouwer. Even "bonus" producers like Jason Chimera, who delivered a career-high 39 points this season along with his three goals so far in the playoffs, logged just 13:05 Monday.
Meanwhile, Hunter continues to lean on Matt Hendricks, Marcus Johansson and Jay Beagle. Beagle, in fact, saw more ice time than any other Washington forward (19:58), and was only beaten out for overall TOI by John Carlson and Karl Alzner. So far, the former AHL champion has rewarded his coach with one goal, one assist (that owed more to the skates of Ryan McDonagh than any of the Capitals), four PIMs and 13 shots over nine games.
While it's entirely possible that Hunter could "let the dogs run" a bit more once the series shifts back to the Verizon Center on Wednesday, how long will his players continue the good soldier act before the frustration boils over -- particularly if the Rangers reclaim their lead in the series?
If winning makes everything better, losing could end with a locker room revolt -- particularly if the team suffers a second-round exit for the third time in the past four seasons.

The Mets and Rays could be potential landing spots were the Mariners to move Nick Franklin
The list of potential suitors for the 31-year-old right-hander continues to grow.
The signing of Paul Maholm represents tremendous value for the Dodgers.
Jeff Samardzija has reached an agreement with the Cubs to avoid arbitration.
A variety of factors could be contributing to his delayed signing.
The Dodgers, Orioles, and Diamondbacks are among three finalists to land the 36-year-old veteran.
The former All-Star has decided to call it quits.
With Matt Garza now in the fold, how does Milwaukee's playoff chances stack up in 2014?
Teams such as the Mariners have made significant efforts to get better this winter, but will it be enough to contend in 2014?
Washington is in the mix to land the veteran reliever.

After having the very delicious Double Bag last week, I decided to do a vertical tasting of the following: Long Trail Ale, Double Bag, and Triple Bag. Based on the classy tastiness of Double Bag, I'm interested to see the way the brewer plays with malt.
Pours a brilliant amber with a nice white, fluffy head. Faint smell of malt and hops. Clear and bubbly. Decent lacing and head retentiion.
Very straight forward flavors of caramel and malt with a touch of fruit. The fruit is mellow, likely reflective of some minimal secondary fermentation time. A little bit of chew in the mouthfeel -- just enough to lift the body and keep it from feeling thin. The hops are on the earthy side and lead to a well-balanced, sessionable ale.
Very smooth, easy-drinking ale. Long Trail has seemed to hone in on nice interpretations of the altbier style. Perfect for Friday night beer and pizza.

Had this at a stop off in VT,had seen while living up there but never tried it.Poured a hazy orange/gold color with almost no head,aroma is light and subtley hopped with a light fruitiness as well.The beer has a decent balance of hops and malt but neither really stick out to make me want another,its not a bad beer but unspectacular in my opinion.

Good altbier. Not much really stands out on this offering. It's not that it is bad...just boring I suppose. I'm not crazy about the yeast profile in this one. Has a bit of a bite in the aftertaste. Not bad, but not anything to write home about. Their Double Bag Ale is better. Pass on this one.

This is a pleasant beer. It was a pretty amber color with a fairly thick white head and a little bit of lacing. A malty aroma, not much else there. A good hoppy taste, with just a little bitterness at the end. Feels good. I could drink a few of these quite easily.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: The body has good clarity and a nice medium amber color. Its head was off white in color, of average size and quickly settles down and fades to thin ring of lace.
Smell: The aroma has hints of leafy, mineral like and grassy hops with some lightly toasted grain.
Taste/Mouth feel: The flavor is well balanced and delicate. Hop flavor is leafy and grassy with mild bitterness. It is in very good balance with the light bready malt. The light bitterness fades quickly and cleanly off the tongue, setting you up for the next sip. It has a light to medium body, smooth texture and average carbonation.
Notes: Overall it's an all around good beer with wonderful drinkability.

Nice amber color with a smooth flavor. Also offers a great fragrance with a wonderful head piece. No after taste and goes well with just about anything. When this first arrives at your seating you will notice the color and realize that it looks like a lager however you will be pleasantly surprised how smoothed and non bitter this beer presents.
Please try...your taste buds will explode!

12 ounce bottle with a "bottled on date", on the label, of 6 weeks ago, nice FRESH beer! Pours a light almond amber, minimal head and not much lacing. Nutty, bready nose. Malt, malt and more malt characterizes this tasty quaffer from Vermont. Nutty and mildly roasted the sweetness of this brew is nicely rounded and full. Lightly hopped, it does finish with a snappy dryness and a slight chalkyness. Drinkable and refreshing. A classic Vermont staple brew.

On tap at Coolidge Corner Clubhouse.
Pours an amber brown, not too much by way of head. Caramel/ malt flavor, some nuttiness going on. Tastes very much the same way it smells with malt the predominent flavor. Weak mouthfeel, but fairly drinkable.
My first pint of Long Trail and it was pretty much what I had expected. Worth a try or two.

Women's Soccer Garners Multiple Postseason Awards
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Four FGCU student-athletes received conference honors led by Katherine Correllus and Amber McCall, both earning First-Team All-Atlantic Sun honors. Joining the First-Team All-Conference performers is Danielle Faller who was named Freshman of the Year and goalkeeper Stephanie Powers who earned A-Sun Second-Team honors.
The A-Sun All-Conference teams are voted on by the conference head coaches and sports information directors.
For the third consecutive season, Amber McCall earned A-Sun First-Team honors. McCall led the Eagles in five offensive categories, and finished tied for the A-Sun lead in goals.
"Amber's recognition is well deserved," said head coach Jim Blankenship. "She has been the heart and soul of this team for three years."
Katherine Correllus also earned First-Team honors. The sophomore was the backbone for FGCU's defense. She started every game this season, and aided in the Eagles league leading nine shutouts.
"KC really showed us that she is one of the top defenders in the A-Sun," said Blankenship. "I am really pleased that her hard work paid off."
Faller joins fellow Eagle Lindsay Haw as the only FGCU players to win Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year honors - Haw won in 2007. The rookie midfielder started in all 19 games for FGCU and racked up four points on the year including the Eagles game-winning goal against Army. The Elizabethtown, Pa. native helped the Eagles to a third-place finish in the A-Sun regular season and a near perfect 6-1-2 home record. In addition to her Freshman of the Year honor, Faller also picked up All-Freshman honors.
"Danielle was an important part of our success this season," said Blankenship. "She played very well all season and is very deserving of these honors."
Goalkeeper Stephanie Powers garnered Second-Team All-Atlantic Sun laurels after posting the league's second-best save percentage and goals-against average. Powers also tied for second in the A-Sun in shutouts with seven.
"Stephanie came up big for us all season," stated Blankenship. "Her seven shutouts aided this team to one of their most successful seasons. "
"We had a lot of players play really well this season," said Blankenship. "The entire team came together to pull out some very tightly contested matches. I appreciate the efforts of our players and our assistant coaches."
The Atlantic Sun Conference is an 11-member league committed to Building Winners for Life. The A-Sun stands for achievement with integrity in both the academic and athletic arenas, with a focus on the balance between the two for our student-athletes. Headquartered in Macon, Ga., the A-Sun boasts six of the top eight media markets in the Southeast. The A-Sun includes a blend of the most prestigious and dynamic private and public institutions in the region: Belmont University, Campbell University, East Tennessee State University, Florida Gulf Coast University, Jacksonville University, Kennesaw State University, Lipscomb University, Mercer University, University of North Florida, University of South Carolina Upstate and Stetson University.

Seppo, Ganto, and the Zen Antiques Roadshow
Once upon a time, two Chinese monks named Seppo and Ganto went on a pilgrimage. Now, in those days, a pilgrimage could be an arduous and dangerous affair, and on this occasion they were trapped in a snowstorm. By sheer good luck, there was an inn nearby where they were able to take shelter and wait out the storm. Ganto, the older of the two, immediately stretched out in front of the fireplace and went to sleep. Seppo, on the other hand, immediately began doing zazen. After a good long snooze, Ganto woke up and saw Seppo still sitting in front of him. Seppo chided him, " How can you just go to sleep? Aren't we supposed to be on a pilgrimage?" And Ganto replied "Why don't you give yourself a break?" he asked. "It's been a long cold journey; what's wrong with taking a nap in front of the fire?" And Seppo replied, "I've never had the big enlightenment experience I've been searching for in my practice. I can't afford to waste a moment." So Ganto said, " Don't you know that a family heirloom isn't something that arrives one day through the front door - it's what you've had in your possession all along."
How many of us are practicing like Seppo - looking for some valuable new experience that we can then possess and treasure? How often do we overlook the treasure we already possess?
Ganto's metaphor of the family heirloom put me in mind of the TV show, "The Antiques Roadshow," where people bring in all sorts of old stuff for the show's appraisers to evaluate. Sometimes, some old table that's been in the family for generations and that nobody has paid any particular attention to turns out to be a genuine Chippendale; sometimes the stained glass lamp everyone thinks is a Tiffany turns out to be a worthless fake.
If you've watched the show, you've probably seen that two of the show's appraisers are twin brothers. Imagine a Zen version of the show with twin Zen masters on opposite ends of the room. People line up in front of each, and one by one show them their "treasure." On the left, whatever they bring in the master is ecstatic, " Incredible! What a treasure! You so lucky to have it," and so on. On the right, the other master says to everybody in his line, "Sorry, that's completely worthless, a piece of junk, throw it out." (Then, after lunch, they take a break and switch sides!)
Some of us, like Seppo, can't believe that our ordinary day to day experience is the treasure we seek. Others cling to each episode of their private soap opera and think nothing could be more important. So a teacher's job is to go back and forth between pointing out neglected treasures - pain, confusion, doubt, all the "nothing special" moments of everyday life - and pointing out the essential emptiness and impermanence of all the self-centered pseudo-treasures we hold onto as our most valued possessions.
What have you brought in for me to appraise today? Which kind of collector are you?

The ban on outdoor burning has been "conditionally lifted" in DeSoto Parish, more than a month after it was ordered due to lack of rainfall and the resulting risk of fires.
On August 15, DeSoto become the first parish in northwest Louisiana this summer to ban outdoor burning, but as of Tuesday, September 24, it's up to the fire districts within the parish to decided whether to leave it in place or allow outdoor burning.
That's according to DeSoto Parish Police Jury President B.D. Mitchell.
Residents should contact their respective fire district to find out whether it is safe to burn at their location.
Residents are also reminded that even if burning is authorized on their fire district, a burn permit still needs to be obtained. That can be done by calling (800) 600-2876.
