With Pact, U.S. Agrees to Help Afghans for Years to Come
After months of negotiations, the United States and Afghanistan completed drafts of a strategic partnership agreement on Sunday that pledges American support for Afghanistan for 10 years after the withdrawal of combat troops at the end of 2014.
The agreement, whose text was not released, builds on hard-won new understandings the two countries reached in recent weeks on the thorny issues of detainees and special operations raids to broadly redefine the relationship between Afghanistan and the United States.
"The document finalized today provides a strong foundation for the security of Afghanistan, the region and the world, and is a document for the development of the region," said Rangin Dadfar Spanta, the Afghan national security adviser, in a statement released by President Hamid Karzai's office.

Miss Wyoming balancing college life, travel
This year's Miss Wyoming is balancing life as a college student with a busy travel schedule.
Lexie Madden was the third-runner up in the 86th Miss America pageant in Las Vegas last month. It was the best finish for Wyoming since 1948.
The 21-year-old Torrington native is a senior kinesiology major at the University of Wyoming. She also played volleyball at Sheridan College.
She told the Laramie Boomerang that she'll make her first trip to New York City for Miss America's homecoming next month. She also plans to host a world champion auctioneering contest in June and judge a pageant in Houston this summer.
Madden's goal is to work as a pediatric occupational therapist. She hopes to continue her studies near Jacksonville, Fla., where her boyfriend, UW standout Chris Prosinski, is based.

This is the 13th year the outreach, which is a branch outreach ministry of Christ Fellowship International Church, has provided a Thanksgiving feast open for anyone who wished to attend. Pastor Lindon Frost said the outreach began on Sept. 8, 2000.
"Matthew, Chapter 25, is why we call it the Matthew Ministry Outreach; it says that we are called to feed people. Jesus fed people, and the church has a duty to feed people as well, not just spiritually but physically," Frost said. "We have a duty, so it's a Jesus outreach. What would He do? He would feed people. What would He do? He would clothe them."
Approximately 75 to 100 people showed up Wednesday morning. Whether they were there to enjoy a hot meal, volunteer their services to hand out food or deliver a message of encouragement and blessings for the season, people were truly thankful to congregate and share a meal with a little conversation.
"Whether there's one or 100, we're going to feed people. ... We're committed regardless of the number, and we're going to be faithful. That individual is important," Frost said. "Our whole goal is to propagate hope. Hope for today, hope for tomorrow."
Before the crowd started to dig in, pastor Abb Israel Javine from the New Rehoboth International Family Church in Tuscaloosa had people shouting and laughing from across the room as he gave his opinion on this weekend's Iron Bowl game before sharing with them the reason why we should be thankful.
"I like football, but I love Jesus more," Javine said a few minutes before giving out Bibles. "On a more serious note, we love the Lord. Your sacrifice will not go unnoticed by Jesus. ... I believe God is going to do something for you personally. I believe God got us here together today."
Volunteers from the Jasper Civitan Club, different churches and local volunteers both young and old pitched in Wednesday to serve those who attended.
Frost said a good majority of high schools within the county were represented with teenage volunteers while some church members drove all the way from Cullman to participate.
He said volunteers delivered plates to various homes within the Jasper city limits and canned goods also were distributed.
"We've got the power to survive. People are being challenged in the time that we're living in right now. Christians, non-Christians, are being challenged," Frost said. "But, the Lord's given us that creative power to survive, and we can survive. The hardest thing for Americans is to make adjustments after they get used to conveniences. That's hard for some to do, but we can do it. We can make it by the grace of God."
The outreach will be having a toy drive and Christmas dinner Friday, Dec. 20, at 11 a.m. Frost said they are asking now for contributions of fruit and personal items, such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc., to give to people.

Varian Medical Systems Unveils EDGE™ Radiosurgery Suite -- A Comprehensive Solution For Non-Invasive Surgical Procedures
BOSTON , Oct. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ASTRO Booth #5019 -- Varian Medical Systems (NYSE: VAR) today unveiled its next move against cancer, the new EDGE™ Radiosurgery Suite * -- a fully integrated dedicated system for performing advanced radiosurgery using new real-time tumor tracking technology and motion management capabilities.
"Our new EDGE radiosurgery suite represents the first really disruptive technology in radiosurgery in close to two decades, combining state-of-the-art linear accelerator technology with real-time tracking and patient positioning," said Kolleen Kennedy, president of Varian's Oncology Systems business. "We designed the EDGE to facilitate fast, accurate delivery of stereotactic radiosurgery to treat any condition amenable to this type of treatment, including tumors of the lung, prostate, brain, spine, and other indications throughout the body."
As a non-invasive option, radiosurgery utilization has been growing steadily over the last decade for the treatment of cancer and other conditions, and predictions are that it will continue to grow as research accrues about the benefits to patients. [1] Radiosurgery involves the use of sophisticated software and hardware to ablate tumors or other abnormalities with high doses of radiation while minimizing exposure of surrounding healthy tissue.The EDGE radiosurgery suite combines Varian's world-class technologies in an end-to-end solution for planning and delivering radiosurgery treatments, encompassing:
- Real-time motion management tools, including the Calypso® system and an optical surface monitoring system for real-time tracking of tumor motion during treatment,
- Image guidance that encompasses two-, three-, and four-dimensional imaging (the latter showing motion over time) *,
- High Intensity Mode for fast dose delivery rates up to an industry-leading 2400 monitor units per minute,
- A new PerfectPitch™ treatment couch *, which will give clinicians more options for accessing and treating disease sites by making it possible to adjust the patient's position along six axes of motion versus four that were in earlier generations of technology,
- Varian's real-time system architecture, which enables an exquisite level of synchronization between imaging, patient positioning, motion management, beam shaping, and dose delivery technologies, performing accuracy checks every ten milliseconds,
- Multiple beam shaping options, including Varian's high-definition multileaf collimator and radiosurgery conical collimators,
- Support for both frame-based and frameless approaches to patient immobilization,
- Eclipse™ treatment planning software, plus automated contouring tools and an anatomical atlas of templates for expediting the radiosurgery treatment planning process.

INDIANAPOLIS — A federal program to reduce carbon emissions has found fierce opposition among business and political leaders but is garnering support from a surprising source – faith leaders who praise its eternal value.
A coalition of believers wants the state to embrace new rules that require deep cuts in carbon emissions and reverse Indiana's dependence on coal-fueled electricity.
The Rev. Lyle McKee, chairman of Hoosier Interfaith Power and Light, said the Obama administration's proposed rules would help address the man-made climate change that is threatening creation.
"We must resolve as a state and nation to move with all deliberate speed away from those practices that degrade the viability of God's good gifts," said McKee, a Lutheran pastor whose group has spent more than $200,000 helping Indiana churches convert to solar power to reduce their carbon footprints.
Last week, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced the new restrictions on carbon pollution, targeting a 30 percent overall reduction by 2030.
Because of progress already made in Indiana, including the retirement of some aging coal-fired plants, the state would have to cut 20 percent of its carbon pollution. Still, that's a leap for a state that ranks fourth for carbon dioxide emissions and is home to two of the nation's top polluting power plants.
And, 80 percent of the state's electricity is generated by coal.
Luke Gascho, a founder of Hoosier Interfaith Power and Light, said it was critical for religious leaders to weigh in on the issue.
"More people are recognizing this is a responsibility for us in the faith community to pay attention to," said Gascho, who is director of the Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center at Goshen College.
The Indiana organization is part of the national Interfaith Power and Light network of about 15,000 congregations in 40 states. The groups are pressing for tougher standards to reduce carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels. And they reflect just one segment of a growing movement of religious communities that are focusing on climate change.

---- — DANVERS — Police say a woman who was arrested on a drunken-driving charge Sunday night had her 3-year-old boy improperly restrained in the back seat at the time.
Lisa Martinez, 34, of Melrose, was arrested on charges of drunken driving, failure to stop and having a child under 6 without a car seat, according to Lt. Carole Germano.
Martinez was arrested near 70 Water St. around 10 p.m. after an officer saw her take a left turn against a red light and conducted a traffic stop, Germano said.
The boy was wearing a seat belt but was not properly secured in a booster seat, she said.
He was picked up by an adult after Martinez's arrest.

BERLIN (AP) -- Bayern Munich is in crisis mode but it could get worse before getting better as Schalke visits in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
Pressure is mounting on three fronts for the Bavarians as they go through what goalkeeper Manuel Neuer says is a "difficult period."
Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to FC Basel leaves the club's Champions League campaign on the brink, and hopes of a league title have suffered after just two wins from five games in 2012.
Bayern slipped to third last weekend, four points behind leader Borussia Dortmund, after an uninspired 0-0 draw at bottom side Freiburg.
Schalke is the league's top scorer and is keen to turn the screw, knowing that a win will take it above Bayern into the Champions League places.
Dortmund hosts Hannover, also Sunday.

No CubFest in GA this year?
Just had a thought... I'm not seeing a listing for any CubFests in Georgia... and the first Saturday in November, just down the road from me we have a cotton gin festival/tractor parade that usually features a couple hundred antique tractors. Unfortunately, its mostly green but we could change that. There are some decent motels about 15 minutes south of the little town and they sit on interstate 20. There's also a state park with campgrounds about 15 minutes away. Alternately there is also a big July 4th bbq in town. Also plenty of room and fields... just a thought.
Re: No CubFest in GA this year?
I am sure Ron (Kodiak) will post his dates soon. It is in Gillsville, GA and is normally held the first weekend in October. It is one of my wife's and my favorite cubfests with all of us entering our cubs in the Maysville Parade on Saturday.
It is the Stonethrow cubfest.
Re: No CubFest in GA this year?
You would be correct. Stonethrow will be October the 4th and 5th (Friday & Saturday). I haven't gotten to Rudi yet to give him the info to post but that PM was just sent out, so it should be showing up soon, Sorry that I haven't gotten it out earlier but had to handle some family matters. See everyone in October if not sooner
I bought an old tractor all dusty and worn,
knew nothing about her just the year she was born
I washed her and greased her and painted her red
Now she lives happily right here in my shed.

KBI acquires Merck's operation in Boulder
Last Updated: 17:35 May 13, 2014
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
KBI is a contract pharmaceutical research and manufacturing company with more than 170 clients globally in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, academia and the nonprofit world. Merck's operations reside in three buildings in Boulder, 2500, 2590 and 5797 Central Ave.
The acquisition allows KBI to ramp up its development and manufacturing operations.
In March, Colorado's Economic Development Commission approved a $1.4 million incentive package for KBI if it brought 123 jobs to Boulder. But KBI spokesman Andrew Cohen offered no comment or timeline for when any additional KBI jobs might come to Boulder.
Lainie Keller, director of global communications for Merck (NYSE: MRK), said all 30 Merck employees in Boulder have been retained by KBI. Keller said the Boulder facility provided analytical and technical support for Merck's biologics pipeline and produced R-Trypsin, an enzyme used in the manufacture of vaccines and other biologics.
Privately-held KBI employs about 220 people between its two North Carolina locations and Boulder, Cohen said.
"We are very pleased to continue to advance our partnership with Merck, and to welcome this very highly regarded team of scientists in Boulder to the KBI team," KBI president and chief executive said in a press release.
The company statement noted that KBI will continue to provide development and manufacturing services to Merck at the Boulder site as well as to third-party customers. KBI will continue to support Merck programs from its two plants in North Carolina.

Cooperative Education Internship Programs
If you are seeking valuable skills, experiences, and connections that may one day help you land a job, the following co-ops and internships may be of interest to you.
• COOP 302: Co-op/Political Science
• COOP 402: Intern/Political Science
• The Harrisburg Internship Semester (THIS)
• Embassy and Diplomatic Scholars Internship
• The Washington Center for Internships
COOP 302: Co-op/Political Science
Political Science COOP 302 is based upon job assignments which are related to the student's major and/or career objectives. Faculty coordinators advise students, review learning objectives, and evaluate term reports. Cooperative education procedures are sufficiently flexible to provide for student and employer needs. The program is designed to enhance self-realization and direction by integrating classroom study with planned and supervised experiences in education, professional, business, and cultural learning situations outside the formal classroom environment. The joint efforts of faculty, participating employers, and students are directed toward the achievement of an educational experience where classroom studies and appropriate work experience combine to reinforce each other.
Prerequisite: Junior standing, minimum QPA 2.5. or approval of the Dean of Arts and Sciences.
COOP 402: Intern/Political Science
Political Science COOP 402 is usually a culminating experience for seniors. Internships operate somewhat like student teaching, with the emphasis upon application of knowledge in a realistic setting rather than acquisition of new material. In other words, internships are begun with most entry level skills at least partially developed, and the intern is expected to render supervised professional services. The length of an internship may be less than a semester or as long as a year. Many internships carry no salary or stipend. Prerequisite: Senior Standing and a QPA of at least 2.5 or approval of the Dean of Arts and Sciences.
The Harrisburg Internship Semester ("THIS")
"THIS" is a prestigious and paid internship in which the student gains an applied understanding of how Pennsylvania state government operates and by interning with a branch of government related to his or her major. Each semester, students from schools in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education are selected to take part in this valuable program. The student selected from Clarion University each semester receives a stipend which covers room and board, tuition, and most travel expenses while completing 15 credits in independent study and cooperative education. Sophomore or junior students from any major will be considered as long as their overall QPA is 3.00 or above. This internship is particularly valuable for those individuals interested in government work, graduate school, or a legal career. Applications for each academic year are solicited during the previous Spring Semester. For more information e-mail
Institute for Experiential Learning - The Capital Experience
Graduate or undergraduate students who are chosen for this opportunity must have a 2.5 QPA, and are awarded a full semester's worth of credit. Each intern works for four days per week in government agencies, businesses, and law firms, for example, and are usually affiliated with the intern's major field of study. One day per week, the intern attends two seminars: the experiential education seminar, which allows the group of interns to discuss the activities in their internships, and an elective seminar, which is chosen from a current list. Interns can reside in a housing complex or individual apartments in Northern Virginia, and financial aid is applicable to this internship. For more information, visit www.ielnet.org, or write to:

Embassy and Diplomatic Scholars Internship Program in Washington
The institute for Experiential Learning(IEL) announces a new educational endeavor, the Embassy and Diplomatic Scholars internship program in Washington, DC. Students accepted for the Embassy and Diplomatic Scholars program will participate first hand in the operations of the diplomatic and international community in Washington. For example, in embassies they may do research, write press releases, and compose reports on congressional hearings and legislation; promote trade and foreign investment; or prepare for cultural events and high-level visits. In the Department of State they may research emergent international issues; write reports for senior officials; or follow the development of international-related legislation in the Congress and help prepare official testimony. Further, all interns will have an unequaled opportunity to improve their language skills as well as their cross-cultural communications ability. Students work four days a week and attend two academic seminars the fifth day, and most earn a full semester's academic credit for the experience.

The Washington Center for Internships
College Plus One is The Washington Center's internship program for recent college graduates. It is a program that lasts 10 weeks in the summer or 12 weeks in the fall and spring-just enough time for participants to get their foot in the door or the experience they need to go to the next step of their career. The Washington Center also offers special academic seminar programs that can help students along their career. These seminars are a great advantage for students particularly liberal arts and communications majors.

How does it work?
Secure Disk lets you designate any part or all of your hard drive, USB flash drive, or external drive as a digital vault, which requires ID and Password to open or access. For example, on a USB flash drive you can create one or more vaults of different sizes on it. You can select a virtual drive letter for each vault, such H drive if you already have letters C to G used. When the vault is open, it works just like any regular hard drive. You can save and delete files, drag and drop files, or back up files, and everything else that you can usually do. However, when you close the Secure Disk or vault, no one or program can access what is in the vault. You can place folders, subfolders, or just files in the vault. It is all up to you.

Need some help brainstorming
Hey guys, I am putting together a website to host a league. I am thinking through how I can set this up the best way.
my main concern is getting stats to be able to be input by each owner for the games they play, and then in turn I would need to populate those stats/standing based on what they input.
So Im trying to figure out which is the best way to g about wire-framing this type of thing.
For instance, where would the stats be input from?
Has anyone done somehting similar before? Im just looking at he big picture and there are alot of elements that need to work together so its a bit confusing.

HOUSTON (AP) -- The parents of four children who died and three others who were seriously injured in a Texas day care fire last year say they made efforts to make sure the facility was safe and the owner was qualified.
Their stories have come out during the trial of day care owner Jessica Tata, who is charged with felony murder.
Child care experts say Texas has taken steps to improve oversight of home day care centers since the fire. But it's among many states still lagging behind what advocates believe should be the standard for keeping tabs on such facilities.
Investigators say the fire at Tata's day care started after she left the children alone to go shopping.

A famous Republican from Florida is stirring up waves on the political scene. Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush is criticizing candidates from his own party. So is the former governor weighing a run at the White House later this year?
The discussion stems from a speech Bush made in Dallas Thursday.
He didn't call out specific Republican candidates but said he doesn't like the rhetoric being used.
According to a Fox News reporter, Jeb Bush said, I used to be a conservative, and I watch these debates and I'm wondering, I don't think I've changed, but it's a little troubling sometimes when people are appealing to people's fears and emotion rather than trying to get them to look over the horizon for a broader perspective."
Bush gave those remarks to the National Center for Policy Analysis.
News crews were not allowed to record his speech.
Afterward Bush talked to the media and said he worries the tone of the primary will turn-off voters.
"It's important for candidates to recognize they have to appeal to primary voters and not turn off independent voters that will be part of a winning coalition," said Bush.
There's a lot of chatter now about a 'white knight' scenario where Bush or someone else comes in to Tampa in August and 'brokers' a majority of delegates at the convention.
Bush has been out of politics for five years but as evidenced by the reaction still carries weight in the GOP.

All of the crashes involved motor vehicles and two of those victims were not wearing seat belts. Single-fatality crashes occurred in Carter, Henderson and Hopkins counties. The suspected use of alcohol was a factor in the Henderson county crash.
Through February 14, preliminary statistics* indicate that 67 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2010. This is 19 less fatalities than reported for the same time period in 2009. There were 59 motor vehicle fatalities and 35 of those victims were not wearing seat belts. Seven pedestrians have been killed. Seven crashes involved a commercial motor vehicle. One crash involved a scooter. A total of 13 fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas. Crash data for this report is generated from the Kentucky Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).

WASHINGTON, Ill. -- For some Washington residents, the rebuilding stage is near.
Just two weeks after the deadly EF-4 tornado, City Officials said around 100 homeowners are now applying for building permits.
Debris removal continues this week, Mayor Gary Manier estimates 8-percent of the storm debris, left curbside, has been removed.
City resources will continue to pick up that debris, but Mayor Manier said further clean up is now the responsibility of homeowners and further debris should not be put out on the curb.
"We're asking that no more goes to the curb, but what's there we're going to take. That is our responsibility," said Mayor Gary Manier, City of Washington. "What we are asking is that you contact your insurance companies to see if there is a part in that policy that would help you hire someone or call the volunteer group. They could help with that process, but you know if we continue saying 'take things to the curb' then we will never get it done."
If you need volunteer assistance call (309) 698-5001.
Volunteer numbers are dwindling in the tornado ravaged communities of Washington, East Peoria and Pekin.
Officials with the Tazewell County Volunteer Reception Center said the need for volunteers is ongoing and the opportunities available range from debris removal to clerical.
Volunteers wanting to help tornado victims can call the Tazewell County Volunteer Reception Center to register. Individuals should call (309) 698-5002. Groups can call (309) 698-5003.

4729 Magazine St., New Orleans
This Uptown restaurant started life as Dominique's on Magazine, but then after a big shake-up in the kitchen the name, the staffing and the menu were all revamped to create a different restaurant. This one is an upscale bistro working closer to the modern American mode than the local contemporary Creole or newer modern Southern styles that are more prominent around town.
the look of the restaurant is about the only thing that wasn't changed from the first rendition of this place. It's a double shotgun that still looks like a house from the street but which opens up to a single, large dining room. Old brick chimneys, now revealed, stand like columns. Drapes dress up the floor-to-ceiling windows and the décor is a mix of clean lines and bare wood. It's romantic, it's definitely upscale, but the overall feel is more relaxed than a special event restaurant. The beautiful bar makes a good spot for a pre-dinner drink or for solo diners, and there are a few outdoor tables to consider when we're visited by pleasant weather.
The service staff generally have good suggestions for the menu and the wine list, but a little more attention to individual tables would go a long way. We felt we were looking for our waitress too long and too often during one busy night, though on slower evenings things seem to click better.
Some of the best starters at Apolline look like smaller-scale entrees. The duck confit salad, for instance, had smoky, glistening pieces of meat over peppery arugula with a flank of sliced pears on the side and a wedge of blue cheese. The pappardelle noodles, tender and made in house, could be a light entrée too with the hearty addition of pork ragu and ricotta, and the same could be said for the shrimp and grits. The beef carpaccio and the watermelon salad are two simpler, straightforward and lighter starters – the first dressed with a shaved Piave cheese and a touch of vinaigrette, the salad finished with feta, micro greens and a dash of smoked sea salt.
One its face the entrée list seems fairly predictable – steak, pork chop, duck, scallops, Gulf fish of the night, etc. But the kitchen works some significant style points into many of these dishes along the way. Scallops were tender with a sweet flavor that flowed from an almost-raw center to the crusted edges, with a maque choux on the side that was both creamy and light at once and expressed summer brightness. Swordfish was arranged elegantly but simply over crisp haricot vert and draped with an almond flecked buttery emulsion that was somewhere between broth and sauce. The hearty pork chop on the bone had a light whiff of smoke, a tangle of fried onion strings and good char, though no surprises. The showstopper, however, is a plate of fried quails, set just so over mashed potatoes and joined to a cube of pork belly by a flourished streak of barbecue sauce.
The goat cheese mousse is an interesting, mellow and not-too-sweet choice. The opposite would be the "hooty tootie pie." It starts with chocolate ganache, and caramel fluff in a short bread cookie crust and adds peanut brittle and peanut butter ice cream.
Craft cocktails are a major specialty at Apolline and the bartender can make some pretty interesting concoctions off the cuff if nothing on the list should grab you. The wine list is eclectic and many wines are available by the half-bottle. On Wednesdays, a good cross-section of wines are served for $20 a bottle or $5 per glass.
Apolline's normal menu skews to the higher side of the standard upscale bistro price range, with most appetizers between $10-$14 and most entrees in the upper $20s to $30s. However, the restaurant runs frequent specials with prix fixe menus or deals on wine (see above) that can make the overall picture more of a value. Otherwise, expect to pay at least $130 for two people.
Apolline feels cozy, stylish, modern and familiar all at once. The menu is fairly straightforward, and if this means there are few surprises or dishes that really dazzle it's also true that practically nothing disappoints. It's an upscale place that still feels down to earth.

Homegrown- VBT Celebrates 40th Anniversary
The Charlotte News
By Elizabeth Bassett
May 19, 2011
Gregg Marston sounds like a motivational speaker. One you can trust. President and owner of VBT Vermont Bicycling and
Walking Vacations, Charlotte's Marston says, "I like to think we create ambassadors." VBT operates about 400 small-group, deluxe bicycle and walking tours each year, from Vermont to Patagonia and Europe to the Far East. "VBT makes it possible for people to immerse themselves in other cultures, to meet people without barriers."
National Geographic Adventure magazine named VBT "one of the Best Adventure Travel Companies on Earth," and, two years in a row, one of the top two "Best Bicycle Outfitters on Earth." In Travel + Leisure magazine's 2010 World's Best Awards, VBT ranked fourth in the "Tour Operator and Safari Outfitter" category. VBT strives to offer value as well, promising that its 2011 prices, including international airfare and fuel surcharges, will be less than or equal to 2010 prices.
'Twas not always thus. Forty years ago another Charlotter, John Freiden, gathered a group of friends for a bike ride and an overnight at an inn. "I had this flash," says the retired Middlebury College history professor. "People love Vermont. I could add a nice place to stay and provide mechanical support to take away people's worries." Biking in cut-off dungarees and sneakers and without helmets, Freiden and his friends were the first Vermont Bicycle Tour. "That first year 75 people joined us," Freiden says.
VBT caught the fitness wave. "People began to exercise for health and this was very helpful to our business," Freiden says. "But the bicycles were not reliable nor as comfortable as they are today."
Freiden ran the company for 14 years before selling to another Charlotte resident, Bill Perry. Perry in turn sold the company to Grand Circle Travel. In 1999 Marston put 21 years of investment management behind him and joined VBT as its president. In 2005 Gregg Marston and his wife Caroline purchased the company.
Marston's life experiences have built toward his ideal career. Summer camp and a 26-day Outward Bound trip in Idaho set the stage for experiential learning. While a student at the University of Vermont, Marston took 18 months off to travel. "I put my academic life on hold for what became the adventure of a lifetime." It was during this trip that Marston realized the importance of relating to others without a filter. "You experience this every day when you travel," he says. "Just last month, when I was in Amsterdam, I spoke with a number of Iraqi taxi drivers. Even knowing that I am an American, they were welcoming and friendly." All VBT trip leaders are local, helping travelers decipher the countries they are visiting.
"Our vendors also help fulfill our mission," say Marston of his recent VBT barge and bicycle trip in Holland. "VBT charters the barge every year. We have a relationship with the owner that dates back more than a decade," Marston says. "She is a true partner in making the experience the best it can be for our travelers."
How does VBT keep its prices in check? "We deal directly with vendors so we are not paying third parties," Marston explains. "We sell via direct mail and don't use travel agents. Dealing directly allows us to control quality as well. And we don't make the margin that some of our competitors do."
VBT Vermont Bicycling and Walking Vacations is a generous community partner, often donating trips to area charity auctions and raffles. Local beneficiaries have included the CVU Nordic Team, NENSA (New England Nordic Ski Association), Kelly Brush Foundation and Ride, Friends of Middlebury Ski Team, Mary Haas Ovarian Cancer Benefit and Local Motion. In addition VBT supports national bicycling and walking organizations. Until June 20 each new member of Local Motion (localmotion.org) and all existing members who increase their donations by $5 or more will be registered to win a VBT trip to Italy. The VBT vacation includes airfare and has a value of more than $4,000.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary, Freiden will be VBT's guest, joining Marston and others on a September bicycling trip through Hungary. Another celebratory event is a Vermont departure on June 12 for a Champlain Valley and Islands Bicycling Vacation. Bicycle Magazine features this as one of the "15 Trips We Love." The itinerary will include the former dairy farm in Bristol that serves as company headquarters.
Happy Birthday, VBT Bicycling and Walking Vacations. Thanks for keeping it local!

CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) - Professional angler Michael Neal from Dayton, TN came away with a third place finish in the season opening FLW Tour event on Lake Okeechobee this weekend. Neal had a four day total of 67 lbs. 12 ozs. which earned him a third place finish against 174 of the best anglers in the world and $30,000.
Neal fished areas that were adjacent to deep water. Deep water by Okeechobee standards is water five feet deep or deeper.
"I'm strictly throwing moving baits – a swim jig and swimbaits. I'm fishing a 1-mile stretch of water on the north end of the lake by the Kissimmee River," says Neal.
Neal said the area he was fishing held both prespawn and postspawn fish. He said a swim jig fished in the grass accounted for most of his big fish during the event.
The top ten are as follows:
1st – Drew Benton from Panama City, Fl. with 75-07 lbs. - $100,000 2nd – Brent Ehrler from Redlands, CA. with 70-08 lbs. - $35,000 3rd – Michael Neal from Dayton, TN. with 67-12 lbs. - $30,000 4th – Wade Hendricks from Thompson Station, TN. with 66-13 lbs. - $25,000 5th - Rick Cotten from Guntersville, AL with 66-11 lbs. - $20,000 6th – Casey Martin from New Market, AL with 61-14 lbs. - $17,000 7th – Bryan Thrift from Shelby, NC with 60-14 lbs. - $16,000 8th - Adrian Avena from Vineland, NJ with 58-13 lbs. - $15,000 9th - Chad Grigsby from Maple Grove, MN 55-10 lbs. - $14,000 10th - Phillip Jarabeck from Lynchburg, VA with 55-10 lbs.- $13,000

Judging by earlier reviews, I lucked out on this one. Opened 15 months after bottle date and poured into a tulip shaped glass. Two and a half fingers of head eventually subsides into a persistent head with a fair amount of lace. The aroma is oak, vanilla, caramel, bourbon like in quality. Sweeter than I prefer, but in keeping with the style. Caramel, vanilla, persimmons, oak, with a fair amount of bitterness to finish. Medium heavy body and soft mouthfeel.

375ml brown glass bottle with blue label and waxed-over pry-off pressure cap acquired at me local bottle shop for $6.99 USD and served into an Independence Brewing pilsner glass in me gaff in low altitude Austin, Texas. Reviewed live. Expectations are low; I had Small Batch Series #4 last night and it wasn't very good. It was also a gusher, so I'll be expecting this to gush as well, and will side-pour it very slowly. Bottled 10/09/12 - making this exactly one year old. Reviewed as an English Barleywine because Ranger Creek's website identifies it as such. 10% ABV confirmed. "...Aged for 6 months in oak barrels."
Served cold - straight from me fridge.
As I remove the wax, the cap is revealed - and it's pretty rusted. I'm starting to get concerned.
Removal of the cap yields a brief hiss of carbonation. No liquid surges out.
A: No bubble show forms as I pour.
Even slow pouring yields almost entirely foam; the head is a good eight fingers wide out of a possible nine. White in colour. Decent creaminess and thickness. Has a soft complexion. No lacing at all clings to the sides of the glass; this doesn't have "legs." Head retention is good - about 7-8+ minutes - but I suspect this is more from overcarbonation than careful brewing.
Body colour is a murky hazy nontransparent translucent copper-orange of below average vibrance. No yeast particles are visible.
Not unique or special.
Sm: Wet cardboard, stale biscuit malt, light acetic character, vague wood (with none of the evocative character of oak), light sourness/funkiness, light sour apple, and a generic maltiness - but nowhere near the malty sweetness you'd expect from an English Barleywine. No hop character, alcohol, or yeast character is detectable. Infection is suspected. I really want more from the oak. Nothing mentioned in Ranger Creek's description is emerging here (No: caramel, toffee, ripe fruit, leather, or spice). The difference between the aroma and Ranger Creek's description definitely indicates infection.
An inoffensive aroma of average strength. I'm wary.
T: Definite bacterial sourness along with some fruity notes - especially sour apple. Has a light doughy yeast character as well. Biscuit malt, brown malt, caramalts. Vague oak, but it's not evocative or rich; if you're looking for a good oak-aged barleywine, look elsewhere. No toffee, leather, or spice. Very light acetic character. English hops lend some ripe fruit notes. Has some alcohol presence, but I wouldn't call it boozy or hot. Fair complexity. No real subtlety. Not at all gestalt. Wet cardboard on the finish.
To be frank, I absolutely think it's infected. But the beer isn't a complete train wreck; the sourness isn't bad. Sure, it's an absolute mess - there's no balance or cohesion at all - but it doesn't taste as off as it very well could.
Somewhat shallow depth of flavour for the style. Average duration of flavour. Below average intensity of flavour.
Horrible for an English Barleywine, but merely subpar when viewed outside of any style. If we view it as a sour, it's merely bad - not awful.
Mf: The texture is as much as a mess as the the taste. Rough at some points, harsh at others, dry, coarse, smooth, and wet - it's hard to describe since it isn't uniform. Certainly far from pleasant or refreshing. Overcarbonated, but not biting. It's a bit buttery in the second act. Doesn't suit the flavour profile at all, except by matching its chaos.
Not soft, oily, boozy, hot, or astringent.
Dr: Having had a couple of these small batch series beers now, I can say with confidence that the cats at Ranger Creek's barrel aging program do not have their shit together. This is a grand failure of a purported English Barleywine, and it's only incidental that it's at all drinkable. Even then, it's subpar. Unacceptable at $6.99 USD a pop. I certainly wouldn't get it again, and I'll be wary of Ranger Creek's other barrel aged beers in the future. Too bad I have a couple others in me fridge. I'd strongly recommended avoiding this one, and my view of Ranger Creek is getting more and more negative. Terrible for the targeted style.

This one was definitely infected. I have high hopes for Ranger Creek. The potential for their barrel aging program seems to be incredible for them, and I hope to see them do well in the future... But as for this beer, it went straight down the drain.

Poured a 12oz waxed bottle into a Duvel tulip. Handwritten bottle date of 10-9-12. Stored at 50 degrees in my wine fridge since Christmas. Rumors of infection for Small Batches 3 & 4. Let's see if I tempted fate by sitting on this for six months.
A: Dark, cloudy orange with a towering off-white 4-finger head. Head takes a long time to settle as it finally settles into a thin rim leaving sticky lacing lines down the glass.
S: Sour and sour. Uh-oh. Brett funk and barrel come through as it warms up. Not much else.
T: Vinous sour note is up front. Earthy/spicy hops muted, but there. Oak and funk in the dry finish. Slight alcohol bitterness that warms as you sip.
M: Thick with the carb a little high for an English Barleywine.
O: Was hoping for the best, but it looks like I ended up with an infected bottle. Too bad, because I think an uninfected bottle would more than likely be a hell of a beer. Totally missed the malt complexities due to infection. I missed SB 1 and had SB 2 on draught multiple times. I still have Small Batches 4 & 5 awaiting.

Ukraine: A Test for the EU's Soft Power.
The situation in Ukraine is highly tense and it remains to be seen whether the agreement forged in Geneva last week can hold in the face of the shoot-out in the eastern town of Slayansk, when at least five people were killed and ended the Easter truce declared by the authorities in Kiev.
What's TTIP?
The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, known by its initials TTIP, is a comprehensive free trade agreement that is now being negotiated between the world's two largest trading partners, the United States and the European Union.
The aim is to remove all trade barriers in a wide range of economic sectors to make it easier to buy and sell goods and services between the EU and the US.
