By ASHLEIGH LIVINGSTON
---- — PLATTSBURGH — When Lynnettia Fields began classes at Keeseville Elementary School last week, she noticed something different about the meals being served in the cafeteria.
"There's more veggies," the fifth-grader said Tuesday as she ate her school lunch of pasta and salad.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has modified its guidelines for school food programs in an effort to provide healthier meals to kids across the country as part of the national Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act.
The new requirements, some of which were to be implemented by the start of this school year, focus on reducing the amount of calories and fat in school meals and increasing students' intake of fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
"The goal is to try to reduce childhood obesity," said Stephen Broadwell, superintendent of Willsboro Central School.
Schools are now required to double their serving sizes of fruits and vegetables and must incorporate healthier vegetable options, such as dark green, red and orange vegetables and beans and other legumes.
In addition, students must now select at least one fruit or vegetable to be part of each of their school meals.
"Previously, students didn't have to chose a fruit or vegetable at all," said Laura Marlow, superintendent of Northern Adirondack Central School.
Also this year, 50 percent of all grain foods served in schools must be wholegrain rich, and 100 percent must be so by the 2014-15 school year.
And students can say goodbye to 2 percent milk, as the USDA requires that only skim and 1 percent milk be served in school cafeterias.
The new guidelines also mandate that school meals contain no trans fats and an average of less than 10 percent of calories from saturated fat.
"It's a reinforcement of our commitment to good nutrition for the kids," Marlow said.
"We all know that well-nourished kids do better in school."
By the 2013-14 school year, school menus must be adapted to individual age groups of students to ensure each is being provided the proper amount of calories, and by 2014-15, sodium levels in school meals must be reduced.
"Hopefully, what they pick up from the school meals will carry over to the meals at home," said Northern Adirondack Central Business Executive Brian Tousignant.
But while area school officials agreed that the new guidelines are in the best interest of children's health, they also said the changes cause some concern.
For example, Malone Central School Business Administrator Timothy Whipple pointed out that just because students are required to take a fruit or vegetable at each meal, it doesn't mean they will eat it.
"I think it's going to be a lot of waste," he said. "They'll take the items, but they're going to end up throwing a lot of them away."
Broadwell, on the other hand, is optimistic that the new guidelines will result in students developing tastes for healthier foods.
"I think they're going to have more choices for lunches, and hopefully that's going to encourage them to eat and explore different kinds of food," he said.
Many kids at Keeseville Elementary said they didn't mind having to take a fruit or vegetable with their meals.
"I feel good," said fifth-grader Dakota Christian, who on Tuesday opted to eat both broccoli and a fruit cup for lunch.
And though one student did indicate that he was contemplating throwing away his mandatory serving of vegetables, fifth-grader Maggie Hayes said she thinks her peers will eat them most of the time.
"It helps us grow," Fields added.
The monetary cost of implementing the new requirements is another factor to be considered, especially at a time when many area school districts are already struggling. Officials cite reductions in state aid and the state-imposed property-tax cap, which limits the amount of revenue schools can acquire from taxpayers.
Officials from Northern Adirondack, Willsboro and Malone central schools all anticipate being able to maintain self-sustaining meal programs, but they also agree that meeting the new guidelines won't be cheap.
"Healthier eating costs more," Marlow said, "so obviously there's going to be a financial impact."
"It's definitely going to be more money," Whipple said.
Exactly what the financial impact on schools will be, however, remains to be seen.
The state and federal governments are expected to reimburse at least some of the cost of meals to schools that are in full compliance with the new nutrition standards, but, Tousignant said, it is still unclear exactly how that reimbursement would work.
Still, Broadwell said, "if it increases the overall health of our children, then certainly we are all for that."

Cup run cash-injection key to Bees boss
11:27am Monday 29th October 2012 in Sport By Stuart Amos
Brentford boss Uwe Rosler has revealed a good FA Cup run is key to his chances of freshening up his squad.
The Bees let a 2-1 advantage slip thanks to a Tony Craig own goal in the closing stages at Griffin Park on Saturday, as they were held 2-2 by Hartlepool United.
Striker Paul Hayes scored his first goals for the club, but a Harlee Dean own goal and Craig's slip twice cost the Bees the lead and three points.
Rosler takes his men to Blue Square South title challengers Boreham Wood on Saturday and admitted change might only come with the cash injection from a good cup run.
"We saw that Paul can score goals. Very pleased for him and his confidence," he said.
"Tony Craig, who had a good game, I don't blame at all. He is under so much pressure.
"What can I do about it? Hopefully winning at Boreham Wood to get as far in the FA Cup as we can to generate some money."
A late goal cost the Bees at Doncaster Rovers last weekend and Rosler is fast becoming frustrated with his side's ability to make the most of their chances.
"We didn't have the capability of killing off the game. I don't think we had so many clear cut chances, like we normally have," he added.
"But when we are leading 2-1 with just minutes to go, it must be enough to win the game.
"Hartlepool had their best period in the first half and it's disappointing that we're not managing to get over the line."

WEST PEORIA, Ill -- The renter of the home is staying with relatives and got out okay.
It happened at 4123 W. Southport Road.
The renter says a drain near her mailbox started backing up Thursday morning around 9:30 and within two hours, her first floor was underwater.
She was able to grab essential items and got out of the house safely.
While she is a bit shocked, she is fortunate that she has renter's insurance.

Capturing originating/referrer URL of Flash Ad?
Hi smart people! I'm running an ad on a craiglist-esque site and want to see what specific page they where on when they clicked the ad. Normally this is simply capturing the referrer but for some reason the gif ads don't allow for this, presumably because the ad goes to a Google doubleclick which redirects to our page.
So am thinking whether we can do that in flash. The site requires clickTAG to be set, is that just a direct URL which allows me then to capture the URL? Or is there something in the Flash ad ... or any ideas at all!

clickTAG is just the url that the ad clicks through to. Some sites will allow the ad to directly navigate to the destination, where as some will have their own gateway page to record click throughs, in which case they'll add your url as a parameter. You should consult with the site operator or ad serving company primarily to check that referring page can be recorded.

The Spurs will have a chance at their sixth consecutive victory over the Grizzlies Friday evening but they'll have to attempt the feat out of their comfort zone.
San Antonio has lost seven of their previous nine road games and eight of their ten losses on the season have been away from the AT&T Center. Perhaps the thought of the Grizzlies being only 1.5 games back for the division lead with a win will be enough of a motivating factor though.
Memphis managed to force the Spurs into overtime in their only other meeting this season back on Dec. 1 but ultimately came up short, 99-95. Much of their downfall came with allowing Tim Duncan and Tony Parker to combine for 57 points so they'll have to do a better job of containing those two this go around.
The Grizzlies did do a very respectable job frustrating the other third of San Antonio's big three in that meeting though. While Manu Ginobili saved his line a bit with an impressive six steals, Memphis still held him to a mere 10 points on 4-of-15 shooting to go along with a game-high six turnovers.
But it's not as if defense has ever been an issue for a Grizzlies team limiting opponents to an NBA-best 89.1 points per game. Memphis struggled mightily from the floor in their last meeting with the Spurs, shooting 36.4% overall and 26.7% beyond the arc all while coughing up an inexcusable 19 turnovers.
Luckily, they will get two shots at the Spurs over the next week as the Grizzlies are set to visit San Antonio five days after they met Friday at 8:00 p.m. ET.

Punjab is a region straddling the border between India and Pakistan. Punjab has a long history and rich cultural heritage. The people of the Punjab are called Punjabis and they speak a language called Punjabi. Punjabi is an ancient language, but like Punjabi, started its literary career pretty late.

Punjabi is an ancient language, but like Punjabi, started its literary career pretty late. The script is Gurmukhi based on Devanagri. This Eastern Punjab dialect developed into a literary language around the beginning of the 17th century whereas Hindki still remains a group of dialects. During medieval times, Punjab repeatedly bore the brunt of Afghan invaders and internal battles, and these warring times were not exactly feasible for any sort of literary or cultural expansion. Punjabi literature as such came into existence only from the end of the 16th century when Punjabi was already in its Middle Period. In Indian Punjab, Gurmukhi script, created from the Nagari script, is the official script for Punjabi and in Pakistani Punjab, Shahmukhi is the official script. Punjabi was evolving and Guru Nanak, the founder of the Sikh religion, gave a new lease of life to the language although it was still not in its pure form. The fifth Guru, Arjun Dev compiled the Sikh scripture, the Adi Grantha or Guru Granth Sahib, but this again was not strictly in Punjabi. Guru Govind Singh (1666-1708), the tenth and last Guru, wrote a number of religious works mainly in Old Hindi with the exception of Chandi di Var which is in Punjabi.

This beer poured a very light, golden color. The head was very thin (less than 1/4 of an inch) and there was no lacing. Just from the pour, the beer appeared to be very carbonated.
The beer has a very subtle coriander and orange scent. Beyond that, the beer smells like mass produced metal, almost bordering on a Miller Lite scent (that's right I said it!). Below average at best.
The taste is better than the scent but these two characteristics are inherently connected, so it is difficult to get past the nasty smell and actually taste the brew. If you can do this, it tastes like an average citrus ale. There is really no flavour that stands out; I was hoping for orange or some form of citrus but it is not there.
The mouthfeel is very carbonated. Leaves no flavour on the palette and lacks a lot to be desired.
Overall this beer is below average. Smells strange, tastes strange and has no extreme factor that sets itself apart. The brew leaves a lot to be desired. Wish it was better, but in my opinion it is not. Try a different beer if you get the chance.

Odd witbier, its in the style, with some citrus flavour. Very foamy with medium yellow body. Spicy lemony orangey aroma. OK taste,like a herbal tea, fruit punch, highly malted just in case, yet just So-so drinkability.Something different and worth a try. Extra in trade.

Hazy sunny color, bright white head. Nice lace. Light citrus aroma, more than usual due to the satsumas. Crisp, very light sweetness. More citrus hops on the taste, oranges some light sweetness. Crisp light body. Clean finish.
Definitely an improvement on the normal, but not hard to do really.

I have been watching a marathon of "Drinking Made Easy" #DME and in one episode, they visited Baton Rouge, LA and drank a lot of Abita beers. Good for them, but the name really reminds me of the recent "The League" episode which guest-starred Timothy "Justified" Olyphant as a Caucasian sushi chef from "O-Ma-ha", emphasis on the second syllable. This beer may likewise be of Japanese origin.
From the bottle: "Abita Satsuma Harvest Wit is brewed with pilsner, wheat malts and oats. It is made with real Louisiana satsumas [time to get smarter, apparently] and spiced with coriander and orange peel. This unfiltered brew has a slightly cloudy appearance with a subtle citrus flavor and aroma."
It is a type of orange which was imported from Japan in the 1800's. Cool! Hai, domo! I agitated my bottle before the pour as I am not a fan of clear Wits. As such, I hand a dense finger of bone-white head above a deeply cloudy egg yolk yellow beer. It looked like a cross-section of lemon meringue pie. Nose had the typical black-pepper spiciness borne of the yeast, along with an orange citrusiness. Mouthfeel was soft, slightly effervescent, but just enough to allow the flavors to be able to roll around on the tongue. It tasted of orange and pepper and made me wonder if this could be made into a glaze for chicken. I have been a big fan of lemon chicken for many years and while I know that orange glaze exists for duck, I wonder how it translates to chicken. Enough of this fowl language! The finish was dry, thanks to the coriander and yeast, but I was still getting a lot of orange flavors also. This seemed much more naturally flavored than another fruit beer that I had recently. Very nice, especially as an accompaniment to Oriental cuisine.

Week 1: Choose a Focus
Willpower is the ability to go after what you really want—even when it's difficult, or some part of you doesn't want to (or believes that you can't). To find your willpower, you first need to know what you want.
Of course, we all want lots of different things. We even have competing parts of ourselves that want different things. Part of you might want to stay in bed all day and eat chocolate. Another part of you might want to change the world. Part of you wants to eat healthfully and practice yoga every day, and another part might wonder, what's the point?
If you listen carefully, there's another part of you—call it your inner wisdom—that senses what you really need to be your best self, to show up fully in your life, and contribute what only you can offer the world.
This week, tap into your inner wisdom by reflecting on the following questions. By the end of this week, see if you can identify a specific goal, behavior, or process you want to commit to and explore over the next month. It's OK if the focus feels big, or even impossible. This first step is about opening to possibility, and inviting in a transformative vision for yourself and your life.
1. If anything were possible, what would you most like to welcome in to your life? What might this require of you?
2. Is there anything in your life that you are ready to let go of? What direction would you move in, and what would be possible, if you did?
3. When you're feeling stressed out, overwhelmed, or self-critical, where do you put your attention? What do you give your energy to? Is this how you want to spend your time and resources?
4. When you feel hopeful, inspired, and connected, where do you put your attention? What do you give your energy to? As look forward in your life, what do you want to give your attention and energy to?
Week 2: Making a Commitment
Last week, you might have set a goal for yourself—where you want to end up, or what you want to achieve. This week, focus on the process that will support you along the way. Big change happens not all at once, but through daily mindful choices that are consistent with your goal. This week, I invite you to reflect on the values and vision that can support you in making everyday decisions.
1. When you think about how life will be when you accomplish your goal, what do you imagine feeling, having, or doing? What is the big "why" behind your goal?
2. Imagine that when you wake up tomorrow morning, this vision for your life is the first thing that comes to mind. From that place of deep motivation, what would you commit to doing that very day, to support yourself?
3. You make thousands of choices every day, from what you eat for lunch, to how often you check your email, to what you listen to on your drive home from work. What is a small choice you could make every day this week that would remind you of, and honor, your big goal?
When you've identified a possible commitment, consider both how realistic it is, and whether or not it resonates with your heartfelt desire. Choose a commitment that feels both possible today, and also truly reflective of your bigger vision for your life.
Week 3: Self-Compassion
When setbacks or self-doubt show up, we can become our own worst critic. The solution is self-compassion: finding a way to open to, forgive, and move beyond whatever stress and pain you are feeling.
This week's reflection asks you to write a letter of self-compassion to yourself, as if you were listening to, supporting, and encouraging someone you truly care about. (Which, you are!)
The topic of the letter can be any challenge, setback, or self-doubt you are dealing with related to your focus for this program. Or, if some other kind of stress or difficulty is distracting you from your goal, you could write the letter about that instead.
Imagine yourself at some future date—one month, one year, ten years, whatever feels right—when you have fully realized your most important goal, or made peace with something you are currently struggling with.
Write a letter to yourself from the point of view of this future self—a wiser you who can look back and understand what you are going through now, but also see the potential you have to move beyond it.
In your letter:
Acknowledge and appreciate everything you did to get to where you are at this future point in your life. What will you be grateful to yourself for?
Offer your present self some compassionate advice for overcoming any present challenges.
Tell your present self the good that you see in him/her, and the strengths that will help your present self become your future self.
After writing the letter, consider reading it out loud to yourself, and letting yourself hear this message from the part of you who really does care about and believe in you.
Week 4: Transcending Self-Improvement
This week, you're exploring how your personal goal can help you find your place in the world. It's about recognizing how self-care can connect you with something bigger than yourself. How honoring your heartfelt desires can also be a way to contribute to others. And how, fundamentally, you aren't alone on the journey.
To expand your vision even more, consider these reflection questions:
1. Who else in your life will benefit if you reach your goal, or make the change you have committed to? Why does this matter to you?
2. We are so used to relying on personal strength for reaching our goals. But strength and support are all around us. Where is support available to you already? Who can you share your goals with, or ask for support?
3. As you make progress on your goals, is there a way to share your success with others? Is there anyone in your life who needs support or encouragement?

Picked this up at my favorite beer store in Belgium, Dranken Geers. Cloudy dark copper-amber pour with huge three finger off white head with great retention and crazy lacing. The nose is very complex, especially as it warms and opens up. Initial huge citrusy, resiny, piney hop notes, very reminiscent of a West Coast barley wine. Lots of bitter orange peel balanced out nicely by a sweet caramel malt backbone. The taste follows suit and is surprisingly well balanced for a 300 IBU hop bomb. Lots of resiny pine and bitter orange peel, complemented nicely by toasty toffee and sweet caramel maltiness. The mouthfeel is moderately thick and chewy with perfect carbonation and a great tangy, bitter, slightly nutty, oily finish. The alcohol gently warms throughout, but doesn't hurt the drinkability at all. De Struise just seems to keep cranking out awesome beers! Can't wait to see what they bring to ACBF in two weeks!

A - Pours a cloudy orange-brown with a ridiculous four fingers of frothy off-white head. Head lasts forever and completely coats the glass in lacing.
S - Smell is a combination of sweet caramel malt and bitter hops, with a bit of mustiness thrown in. Some citrus and pine hops with a bit of alcohol.
T - While it is definitely bitter, it doesn't scream 300 IBU to me. Up front there is actually quite a bit of sweetness, mostly caramel malt. Orange zest and a touch of pulp, along with some grassy hops and a strong herbal character. Bitterness really starts to come in just before the finish, which is quite dry. Definitely has a barleywine taste to it.
M - Medium, resiny mouthfeel that finishes with a long lingering bitterness.
O - Can't say I've had anything quite like this before. Surprisingly well-balanced for a beer that seems to want to appeal to the bitter-azi. And the label is so great I may need to keep the bottle.

A 330ml bottle with a BB of Nov 2014. Acquired from a Belgian webshop. I've been looking forward to trying this ever since I first heard about it. Great pic on the label!
Poured into a Duvel tulip. A deep, hazy reddish-amber colour with medium carbonation. Produces a humongous head of creamy off-white foam that fills the entire glass and subsides slowly. Aroma of aromatic hops and fruity Belgian yeast; notes of oranges, tangy citrus and yeast esters. Less hoppy than might be expected.
Tastes of sweet malt, overlayed with intense aromatic hops and a bitter finish. Notes of citrus and orange peel, followed by dry, fruity yeast esters. A tangy, spicy quality. Mouthfeel is smooth, thick and tingly. Highly astringent; dries the palate. Aftertaste of bitter aromatic hops.
Pretty good - plenty of aromatic hops. Rich and intense, probably the hoppiest Belgian IPA I've tried (which isn't many). The aroma seems subdued; yeast esters dominate and the hop notes don't come across that strongly. However, the flavour is solid. An impressive beer that is well worth your time.

A - A brown/yellow beer with an amazing head! A very strong beige foam is laying on top and slowly turns into fluffy. The webbing against the glass is amazing too.
S - Mango, pine, grass and pinnacle it is all there.
T - A superb mango, grass taste. A bit sweet too.
M - A good carbonation that fits the style, the creamy bitter aftertaste is a delight.
O - Good solid imperial IPA.

3.8/5 rDev -3.3%
This IPA presented itself boldly with a robust amber or rich copper hue. The head was thick, off white and it laced well.
The scent was primarily caramel malt with some earthy hop and pine. I do catch a grain and cracker scent.
The taste is more malt-centric with the caramel, grain and roast coming out first. The piney hop flavors expose themselves nearer the end of the sip. Not overly complex it's a smooth easy ride with little after taste.
My expectations were high on this but it simply did not live up to them. The hops don't jump out, or create enough diversity to set it apart, but it's still a pretty decent ale.

On tap at Max's (from notes).
A: Dark brown amber. Nice lacing.
S: Piney goodness with a bit of spice.
T: Nice solid even IPA. Subdued pine. Lots of flavor with a bit of yeast. Quite belgian.
M: Strong even carbonation throughout.
O: An excellent IPA.

Another Struise pour from Borfrets.
I was so psyched to try this one. I haven't had the one from FFF and LOVE the label. 1# DAD!!! I was a bit disappointed with this one.
The flavor and smell were what I expected. Hops hops and more hops. Lots of citrus.
Ugh... This was very undercarbed. No head and bad mouthfeel. I am not sure if this beer was ready. This was flatter than an LA Angels Share! Perhaps it was rushed to the fest?
Not my favorite offering from Struise. Oh well they do everything else wonderfully so I cannot get too mad about an undercarbed beer.

Bottle: Poured a murky orangey color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of deep Belgian malt with some caramelized notes and light floral hoppy notes. Taste is also a mix between some deep caramelized notes with more residual sugar then I had expected with some floral and light piney hoppy notes. Body is full with limited filtration and good carbonation with no apparent alcohol. Overall, this was enjoyable though a bit too sweet for my taste and lacking some floral hoppy notes.

33cl Bottle: BBD 30 Nov 2014, poured into my 'Forbidden Fruit' chalice on 5th Aug 2013 during a Belgian Beer Evening I had with myself.
Deep amber body: no sediment left the bottle (I think), so it was almost clear in looks with no haze or cloudiness. On top a full and deep head of cream coloured foam.
Intense hop aroma, with a mixed bag of sugared fruit thrown in.
The taste was also hop infested with sweet fruits eating away at the hop flavours, add some caramel and toffee onto the tongue and you are half way there taste wise: interesting brew.
The alcohol is evident but not in a nasty way and the body depth carries it well: I liked this beer.

33 cl bottle, Best by 30/11/14. Amber in color. Clear sticky lacing. Off-white head. Great retention. Biting bitter taste balanced by lovely Belgian yeasty taste and aroma. Great refreshing, citrussy and juicy. Excellent. What else could you expect when these two rediculous breweries join forces?

Poured from the bottle into a goblet.
Appearance: I knew this wasn't a standard IPA as soon as I poured it. The color is a dark reddish amber and it's quite cloudy. There is a finger of off white head that sticks around pretty well.
Smell: This one smells like a Belgian Dark Strong ale than an IPA. Very sweet with caramel and some dark fruit. I am getting some hop notes, but there is also a hint of port or another sweet desert wine.
Taste: The hops show up here a bit more, but this is still more like a highly hopped strong ale. Brown sugar and dark fruit sweetness along with some bitter hops. There is some warm alcohol along with the sugar and bitterness in the finish.
Mouthfeel: The body is a bit syrupy with aggressive carbonation and a slick finish.
Overall: This beer was nothing like what I expected. Very sweet yet highly hopped. Quite complex and unlike anything else I can remember. I'd have another.

Hill looks to get back in groove
Second baseman insists hamstring injury not to blame
TORONTO -- After missing 14 games with a strained right hamstring, Blue Jays All-Star second baseman Aaron Hill finally returned to the lineup on Friday against the Rays.
Although his impact has not been immediate -- entering Wednesday night's game against the Red Sox he was batting .200 with two RBIs -- Hill insisted that the hamstring was not a problem.
"It's fine -- good enough," Hill said. "Wrap it up and get out there and play the game. I can't worry about hurting it, even if it was nagging."
Since Hill's return, the Blue Jays have lost five consecutive games.
While Hill was concerned with his team's recent struggles, he has felt no added pressure to produce.
"I can't beg for hits," Hill said. "They'll just come. It's been 20 at-bats. I'm not too worried about it."
Since April 28, 2009, Hill is batting .371 with five home runs and 20 RBIs.
Lewis takes long road to the show
TORONTO -- To say it has been a long road for Blue Jays reliever Rommie Lewis to get to the big leagues would be an understatement.
After spending the better part of the past decade working his way through the Minor League ranks, the 27-year-old southpaw finally got the call on Monday night he was going to the show.
"My dad came up to me last night and said, 'Ever since you were 5 years old, you said you were going to play baseball,'" Lewis said. "All those years [in the Minor Leagues], I now look back on them and they're gone just like that. It's amazing to be here. [It's] a dream come true."
Lewis, who was originally drafted in the fourth round of the 2001 First-Year Player Draft by the Orioles, signed a contract with the Blue Jays on Jan. 27, 2009. He went 4-7 with a 2.86 ERA last year in 45 games split between Double-A and Triple-A. This year, he was 0-1 with a 2.35 ERA in seven relief appearances with Las Vegas.
"Lewis is a kid who pitched outstanding in Spring Training, and he went down to Vegas and did the same thing," Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston said. "He's one of those guys that if we could have left camp with him, we would have. He wasn't even on the roster, but he pitched well enough to make this team."
"I didn't have any expectations coming into spring," Lewis said. "All I wanted to do was come in and show them what I could do -- throw strikes and get guys out. I'm elated to be here."
While Lewis was on cloud nine upon his arrival to Toronto, things weren't always so warm and fuzzy.
In 2005, Lewis left the Orioles' High Class-A affiliate, Frederick Keys, to battle some personal demons.
"I just had it," Lewis said. "It wouldn't have benefited me to play that year. I was so down in the dumps and involved with a lot of things I shouldn't have been involved in. It was a grind and wasn't any fun. I just had to walk away."
Lewis ended up returning to baseball in 2006 and said that the year away from the game may have saved his career.
"Baseball has been a blast ever since I've come back," Lewis said. "I think that was the best thing I could have done for myself. [It] really cleared my head and got me back on the right track. I've been happy ever since."
Roenicke relieved to be back in big leagues
TORONTO -- In light of Monday night's 13-12 loss to the Red Sox, Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston decided the bullpen needed some fresh arms.
In came Josh Roenicke and Rommie Lewis, and to Triple-A Las Vegas went Jeremy Accardo, with Merkin Valdez being designated for assignment.
Roenicke, who was traded to Toronto last season in the Scott Rolen deal, said he's relieved to be back with the big league club.
"It feels good to be called up," Roenicke said. "I was a bit frustrated being sent down. We ended up having a good group of guys down there and had some fun and success. As is, it feels great to be back up here."
Roenicke had a spotless ERA in Las Vegas, with eight strikeouts over 8 2/3 innings before getting the call.
"He didn't have a real great spring [statistically], but he threw the ball well," Gaston said as to why he brought Roenicke back up. "He was 95 mph and 96 mph at times. He's got great velocity."
Bird feed
Left-handed-hitting Adam Lind was given his first day off since the start of the season, as the Blue Jays went up against Red Sox southpaw Jon Lester on Wednesday night. Also receiving the night off were left-handed-hitting outfielders Travis Snider and newly anointed leadoff man Fred Lewis. ... Outfielder Vernon Wells is only three home runs shy of passing George Bell for third on Toronto's all-time home run list, and one RBI shy of passing Bell for second on the all-time RBI list.

Universal Plug and Play is a set of network protocol used to provide simple and direct connection between devices regardless the infrastructure used. UPnP is based on standard protocols such as TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP, XML and others. These protocols are used to IP addressing, communication between devices and transference of informations.
UPnP allows any compatible device join a network, obtain an IP address, advertise its services and get informed about the presence of other devices dynamically without the need of setting up a network.
In mobile phones the IP address comes from the telecoms operator that phone is connected to and always uses dynamic addressing which changes with every connection. Often these addresses are allocated locally and are not true Internet addresses. The UDP plug on phones usually connects via an adapter and acts as a passive device for storage of photos and downloaded media for uploading onto other devices.
UPnP is described as a sequence of actions:
- Addressing
- Discovery
- Description
- Control
- Event notification
- Presentation

Hartford, Vermont - June 4, 2009
Students in Hartford are on the cutting edge when it comes to a new social studies class at the high school.
Juniors and Seniors are learning about the history of their town in a brand new class at Hartford High. But history is only half the lesson. They are posting what they've learned on the internet site called Google Earth.
"Being able to put the history to use and bringing it back in a more current way is what makes it so much more interesting," said Junior Ben Wilson.
Working with a local digital mapping company called TeleAtlas, the kids are creating a virtual White River Junction. They took pictures of actual buildings like the Briggs Opera House and the historic train station then created them digitally on the software.
"I haven't worked with any of this technology before so it is very new," said senior Nikita Wilson.
The first-year class was create by two teachers, Mike Hathorn and Woody Rothe.
"I think they are on the front end of a change in local history, Hathorn said.
"Because of time, we are not going to actually finish every building in White River so our goal next year is to finish White River then branch out," Hathorn continued.
By clicking on the 3D buildings, a brief synopsis of its story pops up for all to read.
"In a way we are just stashing history and organizing it around place," Rothe said.
It sounds simple. But the students are using the latest technology to get it done.
"If we just told kids we were going to do a course in oral history, they might not show up," Rothe continued.
The kids say high-tech helped the history come to life.
"That is what our generation is. We are brought up in a technology base world, so that is what drew me to this class," Nikita Wilson said.
"We go out and we do our interviews, we take our pictures and the ability to put it out there makes the history more interesting," Ben WIlson added.
The students are literally putting their town on the map for the world to see and the teachers say the class is unlike any other in the country.

Eleven from Forest Hills pick college teams
SIDMAN — Eleven Forest Hills High School student-athletes announced their college intentions on Thursday.
Jared Shope, California (Pa.), football. Shope fulfilled a long-time goal of attending Cal as he persevered through an injury-marred senior season.
"It's going to be four months since surgery. I just got my brace off. It was rough," said Shope, who noted he suffered the injury during a summer passing league and then aggravated it during the season opener against Westmont. "When I first did it, I thought I tweaked it a bit, but then I started playing and I was in a lot of pain. Unfortunately it happened, but I still had a pretty good season."
One of the area's most versatile players on offense and defense, Shope caught 63 passes for 807 yards, an average of 12.8 yards a catch, and had five receiving touchdowns. He passed for 338 yards and four touchdowns. On defense, he made 74 tackles, five interceptions and recovered two fumbles as a senior.
Shope was a Tribune-Democrat first-team all-area player during his junior and senior seasons. He was a PA Football News third-team all-state pick at wide receiver, Southern Alleghenies Coaches Association Offensive Player of the Year and Forest Hills' Senior Award winner as Most Outstanding Player. Shope was selected to play in the Ken Lantzy Finest 40 all-star event next month, but won't participate due to his rehabilitation schedule.
"I've wanted to go there since I was a sophomore and went to camps," he said of California. "I love it down there."
Doltyn Snedden, Westminster College, football. Snedden had 46 receptions for 722 yards and two touchdowns as a senior. He averaged 15.7 yards a catch. On defense, he made 71 tackles and had six interceptions.
"Westminster felt like home to me," said Snedden, who will head to Westminster with Rangers teammate Austin Danel. "It's definitely nice when you know somebody going in there. He was one of my closest friends in high school and it will be nice to be together again."
Snedden was a Tribune-Democrat first-team all-area pick at defensive back and a PA Football News honorable mention all-state selection. He is a Ken Lantzy Finest 40 all-star as well as a LHAC all-conference pick and Forest Hills Boosters' Most Improved Player and Gatorade Offensive Award winner.
Austin Danel, Westminster College, football. Danel made five catches for 75 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He gained 15 yards per catch. On defense, he made 54 stops.
A two-year letterman, Danel received the Forest Hills Football Boosters Student-Athlete Award and the Gatorade Will-To-Win Award.
Danel said the transition into college will be a bit easier having Snedden on campus.
"We played a lot together and we worked together real well," he said.
Briana Kostan, Seton Hill University, women's soccer. Kostan started four years on a District 6 championship Rangers soccer squad. She netted 104 goals, second-most in school history, and added 71 career assists.
"I felt at home there. It just felt right," Kostan said of Seton Hill.
Kostan also played on two Forest Hills girls basketball District 6 championship teams and back-to-back 6-AA girls track team titles. She also was on LHAC winning teams in soccer (twice), basketball (once) and track (twice).
A track standout, she placed sixth in the state as a member of Forest Hills' 1,600-meter relay squad last spring, and was eighth in the state as part of the same relay in 2011.
Kostan will play forward-midfielder at Seton Hill, a program that will join the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference next academic year.
"I think people have noticed our soccer team and the girls as seniors because of the accomplishments we've had as a team," Kostan said. "I think my coach Donna (Gallaher) and my teammates have prepared me and I'm ready to go up to the next level."
Marlee Zubek, Robert Morris University, track and field. Zubek ranks second all-time as a girls javelin thrower at Forest Hills.
Zubek will join a NCAA Division I program that has expressed interest in her throughout her high school career.
"The coach gave me a card when I was a freshman, and I didn't think much of it then," Zubek said. "They wanted me then, and they still want me now."
She set a new meet record and personal best with a throw of 126-3 last month at the Northern Bedford Invitational.
She won the District 6 championship on Tuesday and placed in 6-AA competition for a third straight year. She went undefeated in dual meet competition throwing the javelin the past two years.
A three-year letterwinner and team captain, Zubek is a high honors student.
Brooke Smay, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, track and field. Smay was a state medalist in the long jump last season and will have another trip to Shippensburg next week after winning her second straight 6-AA long jump.
She holds the school record with a triple jump of 36-4 ½. Smay was part of the state qualifying 400-meter relay team last year.
A four-year letterwinner and team captain, she is a member of the National Honor Society and the Spanish National Honor Society.
Chelsea Chizmar, Juniata College, cross country. Chizmar was a four-year letterwinner in both cross country and track and was a state qualifier in cross country in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
She was a Central Western All-Area Team pick three straight years in cross country.
On the track, Chizmar was a member of the state qualifying 3,200-meter relay team in 2010 and 2012 and part of the school-record 2,300-meter relay squad in 2010. A team captain in cross country, she is a high honors student.
Conor Diamond, Juniata College, cross country. Diamond lettered three times in both cross country and track.
He was a state qualifier in cross country in 2011 and a Central Western All-Area Team pick in cross country in 2011 and 2012. A team captain in cross country, he is a high honors student.
Matt Marra, Alderson Broaddus, volleyball. Marra had 22 kills, 50 serving aces and 47 digs in 10 matches. His serve/receive accuracy was 92 percent.
The versatile Marra lettered three times in wrestling, twice in volleyball and once in football. He is a recipient of three scholarships at Alderson Broaddus – the Presidential Scholarship, academic scholarship and athletic scholarship.
Brenna Wright, Mount Aloysius College, women's volleyball. A three-year starter, Wright had 173 kills, 29 blocks (16 solo) and 153 digs as a senior. She was an all-district selection and part of the LHAC all-conference squad.
Wright was selected to participate in the Somerset vs. Cambria County All-Star Game.
Justin Hogan, Pitt-Johnstown, hockey. Hogan had 20 goals, 16 assists and 36 points in 20 games as a senior.
A four-year starter and team captain and MVP the past two years, Hogan led the Rangers in scoring the past two seasons. He was a Laurel Mountain Hockey League all-star selection three consecutive years. Hogan is an honor roll student.

(WMC-TV) - Currently, Memphis schools employees can live outside the city.
But now, when they merge with county schools later this year they'll be have to follow county rules.
This includes a residency requirement.
The Shelby County Attorney released this legal opinion that said the County Charter mandates "all employees of the Shelby County Board of Education must reside in Shelby County."
Memphis Education Association President Keith Williams said quality is quality, but locals should come first.
"I believe every effort should be made to employ people in this city first," he said.
Williams said the new re-evaluation about the residency requirement creates a feeling of instability for Memphis teachers.
"My recommendation would be that those teachers who are currently employed at Memphis City Schools, who initially met employment opportunities when they came here would be grandfathered into this district and future people would have to meet that law. If that law proves to be constitutional," he said.
He said the future superintendent should be held to the same standard.
Williams said if current Memphis school employees living outside county limits are forced to move into the district, they need more information.
"If they cannot do that, they would need to give them a date certain to move into the county," said Williams.
The Shelby County government said the County Commission could pass legislation to allow school employees to live outside the district.

Dems' Unwritten No-Cuts Pledge
As the "fiscal cliff" looms, editorial writers and Beltway commentators have turned their sights on their favorite enemy — tax-foe Grover Norquist's no-new-taxes pledge signed by a weighty majority of GOP members of Congress. If Republicans had not been scared into signing the pledge, the pack laments, D.C. pols would compromise, and all would be well with the world.
I've had issues with the Norquist pledge in the past. Its biggest downside is that it allows Congress to spend with abandon — as long as Washington doesn't pay for it.
The problem with punditry's obsession with the Norquist pledge is that it ignores the fact that Democrats walk lockstep down the highway of overspending — without prompting. It's as if there is an unwritten no-cuts pledge that goes something like this:
If spending exceeds revenue, I pledge to oppose spending cuts and support only tax increases. Or throwing more dollars onto the $16 trillion mountain of national debt.
I pledge to argue for a "balanced" approach while I steadfastly weasel away from any meaningful attempt to curb spending on social programs.
Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, and Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., for example, oppose including entitlement reform in a deal to avert the "fiscal cliff."
It's true. George W. Bush was no slouch at deficit spending. In his final budget, the year of his $700 billion financial bailout bill, Bush left the country with an annual deficit that exceeded $1 trillion. President Obama has surpassed Bush. His last three annual budgets added $5.2 trillion to the national debt.
And while Democrats blame the Bush tax cuts for creating $3.7 trillion in red ink over 10 years, they want to keep $3.trillion of those Bush tax cuts — and blame Bush for the debt.
On Wednesday, Obama called on Congress to pass a bill to retain the Bush tax cuts for families earning less than $250,000. In the name of "balance," he asked Congress to pass a bill with tax increases but no spending cuts. Then he claimed that doing so would make it "a whole lot easier" to deal with deficit reduction later.
To avert the "fiscal cliff," Republicans might have to cave on the tax increase. Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., suggested the GOP House get it over with pronto. That could be canny political advice.
But it cannot bode well for deficit reduction. We've seen how Congress cuts spending — by promising what it won't deliver. The 1997 budget act promised a sustainable growth rate to curb runaway Medicare costs. Congress has voted to delay the mandated reduction in payments to doctors.
Without the "doc fix," Medicare would cut doctor payments by 27 percent — a situation, the Heritage Foundation warns, that could "make it unaffordable for many doctors to continue accepting Medicare patients" and leave millions of seniors without care.
Everyone in Washington knows that the next budget deal will paper over the "doc fix" and other promised deficit reducers. What Washington passes, Washington can erase.
While the do-gooders call for the GOP to compromise in the name of balance, they are tipping the scales. Any tax hikes will be immediate. Any spending cuts will be open to revision.

Hidden places in Siena: Tavolette di Biccherna Museum
Open from Monday to Saturday three times a day at the following fixed hours:
9.30 a.m. – 10.30 a.m. – 11.30 a.m
There are some hidden gems in Siena which escape the mass tourism because they are less publicized. One of these is represented by the Tavolette di Biccherna preserved in the Archivio di Stato of the city. They are wooden boards painted with tempera or oil which served as covers of records belonging to the office of Biccherna which from the beginning of the Comune until the SEC. XVIII was the judiciary responsible for the administration of public revenues. These records were kept by the Camarlingo -the treasurer head office- who was a friar and the most important officials, the Provveditori (supervisors)
The layout of the boards remains, however, unchanged: at the top there is the painting and at the bottom the inscription bearing the date, the names of the main components of Biccherna, the arms of their families.
The siege of Montalcino; made by Giovanni di Giorgio in 1553
There is no tour guide but there are some panels also in English which explain what you see.
Before to leave the Museum do not forget to stop at their balcony from where you will enjoy an amazing view onto the main square Il Campo.

The Miami Design District is the backdrop for Florida Grand Opera's double bill of Robert Xavier Rodriguez's Tango and Astor Piazzolla's Maria de Buenos Aires, the first in the company's "Unexpected Opera in Unexpected Places" series.
It would be difficult to imagine a more unexpected performance space than The Stage, an al fresco bar and pop-music venue. Still, despite occasional noise from the street and overhead planes on opening night Thursday, the cabaret atmosphere seemed a perfect fit for the pop culture-infused mini-operas. The event drew a young, multicultural audience that was highly attentive and clearly involved in the immediacy of the music and drama.

Who is he gonna FIGHT?
Floyd keeps saying in All Access that he's going to do 30 months and he has a plan. So I guess October 2015 he is going to hang up his gloves. Thats 5 fights going on his two fights a year model. Maybe 6 fights max.
Now I'm thinking...whats he thinking...what are his options after Guerrero?
This fall I think its between Canelo, Alexander and Brook...maybe even the Peterson/Matthysse winner to get this P4P rating stronger. Its likely Mayweather may chase the money and go for Canelo as theres a lot of talk going on now and its best to catch Canelo when his skills are raw.
Then next May I'm thinking its the Bradley/JMM winner.
Then that fall another chance probably to go for Canelo. There could be a Canelo vs Sergio fight earlier in the year and that will lead to Mayweather's next one.
After that I got no idea but he has to see JMM, Bradley, Sergio, Pacquiao (???) and Canelo before he goes.

Hopefully after Guerrero Mayweather goes straight after that 150 catch weight with Martinez. This way Cotto and Canelo can fight at the end of this year. and if Mayweather doesn't think Canelo is too big, then MAYDAY next year will be Mayweather Canelo..Hopefully he hits canelo with a catch weight too. I know before he didn't care people came in heavier, but since he is older now he should take advantage of his position. I'm sure he'd win either way, they only have a punchers chance because of the weight advantage.
After those catchweights he can stay at 147 and fight the ones coming up from 140. Bradley, Khan, Garcia, Berto, Gamboa (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Maybe even Pacquiao still. But it would be wise of him to take the stronger heavier opponents first, anyone else after Martinez and Canelo will be easy work.

Between the launch of a new Linux kernel update and the news that open source has achieved mainstream business use at last, it's been an exciting week in the world of open source software.
At least as significant, however, have been all the many new updates and announcements made recently by several of the popular Linux distributions. Lest these important operating system advances get overlooked, here's a roundup of some of the key updates coming soon to a PC near you.
[ Track the latest trends in open source with InfoWorld's Open Sources blog and Technology: Open Source newsletter. ]
1. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1
In the distribution's first major update since RHEL 6 shipped in November, Red Hat on Thursday delivered RHEL 6.1 complete with improvements in system reliability, scalability and performance and support for a variety of upcoming system hardware. RHEL Linux 6.1 also delivers patches and security updates while maintaining application compatibility and OEM/ISV certifications.
Other updates include enhancements in virtualization, file systems, scheduler, resource management and high availability; a technology preview of Red Hat Enterprise Identity (IPA) services, based on the open source FreeIPA project; and integrated developer tools that provide the ability to write, debug, profile and deploy applications without leaving the graphical environment.
2. MeeGo 1.2
Also on Thursday, the MeeGo project announced the release of its version 1.2. "This release provides a solid baseline for device vendors and developers to start creating software for various device categories on Intel Atom* and ARMv7 architectures," the project's developers wrote.
Notable features in the new release include MeeGo Reference Kernels supporting a variety of Intel Atom and ARMv7 platforms, and the QML Application Framework and extended Qt-Mobility APIs, including additional location, system, connectivity, and sensor/haptic capabilities for rapid, rich, application development. Enhanced telephony and connectivity capabilities, meanwhile, include GSM, GPRS, and HSPA+ network support along with USB, WiFi, and BT-PAN data tethering capability.
3. SimplyMEPIS 11.0
Earlier this month saw the release of SimplyMEPIS 11.0, the latest version of the Debian-based distribution that's designed to be easy to install, use and customize. Targeting i386 and amd64 platforms, the new software comes configured with a 126.96.36.199 kernel, the KDE 4.5.1 desktop and apps including LibreOffice 3.3.2, Firefox 4.0.1, VLC 1.1.3, Amarok 2.4.0, Kdenlive 0.7.9, Digikam 1.9.0, GIMP 2.6.10, and Inkscape 0.48.1.

Suffolk County mail courier who operated a male stripper business on
the side forged dozens of realistic-looking deputy sheriff's badges and
ID cards and gave them to acquaintances, the Suffolk Sheriff's
Department said yesterday.
Peter Mistretta, 54, of East Patchogue, told investigators the badges and ID cards were part of his dancers' costumes, said Michael Sharkey, chief of staff to Sheriff Vincent DeMarco. But the badges and ID cards looked like the real thing, he said.
"You wouldn't be able to tell the difference," Sharkey said. "They were very realistic ID cards."
Mistretta was arrested last month for forgery and cocaine possession, Sharkey said. He is due back in court Nov. 17.
During a 10-month investigation, investigators seized 20 fake sheriff's
deputy badges and 25 phony deputy's identification cards, at least one
of which identified Mistretta as a deputy sheriff, Sharkey said. Five
shields and ID cards included the shield numbers of active-duty deputy
sheriffs, he said.
Investigators believe Mistretta distributed cards and badges to "business associates," Sharkey said. It is not clear whether Mistretta sold them, he said.
Mistretta, a 37-year county employee, pleaded not guilty Sept. 26 to criminal possession of a controlled substance, a felony, and multiple counts of possession of a forged instrument, a felony. He was released on $25,000 bail, said his attorney, Frederick Stern of New York)" id="PLGEO100101022030856">Islip.
Stern said the investigation was "riddled with problems and riddled with errors, riddled with defects." He declined to elaborate.
Mistretta used a Shreveport, La., company, NIC Law Enforcement Supply, to make at least some of the badges and cards, Sharkey said. The forgeries came to light when NIC called Suffolk authorities seeking permission to make copies of deputy badges and ID cards, he said. NIC officials told Suffolk authorities the order was placed by Mistretta, he said. Mistretta told investigators in December that he used the cards for a business, U.S. Male Music Productions, Sharkey said. "At that time, he said he was canceling the order for the badges," he said.
In July, a Vermont" id="PLGEO100104800000000">Vermont state trooper told Suffolk authorities that a driver pulled over in a traffic stop displayed a fake Suffolk sheriff's ID, which was traced to Mistretta, Sharkey said.
Mistretta was arrested Sept. 25 while making a delivery to the county warrant squad in Central Islip" id="PLGEO1001001023806750NY">Central Islip, Sharkey said. He had 5 grams of cocaine in his possession at the time, Sharkey said.
Mistretta has been suspended 30 days without pay by the county, which is seeking to terminate his employment, said Dan Aug, a spokesman for County Executive Steve Levy.
