UMass Baseball Aims Pitch at Alumni
The future success of the UMass baseball program may depend on how well it reconnects with the past.
Athletic director John McCutcheon ('78), associates Garrett Waller and Tim Kenney and baseball coach Mike Stone are behind an ambitious plan to privately fund additional scholarships and construct a new baseball diamond.
The plan would create an alumni-funded endowment financed by former players such as catcher Phil LeBlanc (1983) of Andover, who spearheads the effort.
"I think it will happen because baseball players, fellow alums and opinion leaders will look back at their memories of UMass," LeBlanc said. "One of the reasons I got involved was the impact it had on my life.
"What do I want to do with my time? What do I want to do with my dollars? When I look back at my teammates and the friendships I developed playing baseball, it's a natural that I want to get back involved with the UMass program."
Replacing Earl Lorden Field with a new facility is the overriding priority, and private financing is the best option. Lorden Field once stood alone on open meadow on the northwest fringe of the campus. But it now looks out of place nestled between the new physical plant and the Mullins Center.
Stone believes UMass must upgrade to a new stadium before he can attract top prospects to Amherst.
"The main thing is an improved field facility with a field turf surface, new stands, press box and fence," Stone said. "You have to have a desirable place to play that the kids want to come to and play at.
"The scholarships are the other issue, but UMass is relatively affordable compared to other places and if we had a great place to play that would be tremendous."
UMass is fully funding nationally competitive programs in football, basketball and hockey, which drains reserves that would trickle down to other sports. Stone must maintain a competitive program in the Atlantic 10, a conference that features universities from the South and Midwest that don't have hockey programs. Stone currently subdivides 2.3 scholarships per class that he hopes, through the baseball endowment, will increase to seven.
Tapping former athletes to help fund programs is a concept McCutcheon has worked hard to foster at UMass. The men's track team began building a scholarship endowment two years ago for coach Ken O'Brien, while the lacrosse alumni raised money to build additional stands at Garber Field.
Unlike the track endowment that is strictly a grassroots effort, LeBlanc hopes to find A-list donors to supplement alumni donations. LeBlanc co-chairs a fund-raising committee that includes Red Sox vice president Dick Bresciani, former Red Sox catcher Rich Gedman (whose sons Matt and Mike currently play for the Minutemen), business leaders Ned Dubilo, Gene Miller and Dusty Rhodes and UMass associates Steve McKelvey and Paul "Lefty" Wennick.
"When you look at the history of UMass baseball and what it's meant to business leaders and opinion makers and entrepreneurs in the New England region, they will step up and help in the mission," LeBlanc said. "There are lots of great organizations and people that will make it happen."

With a dramatic swell much like a effective piece of music, the power of film always brings an interesting variety of emotions to our local movie theatres that can affect us in a variety of different ways. It's time to embrace A Late Quartet.
This film looks at the complex relationship held by a world renowned string quartet on the eve of their 25th anniversary together who struggle to stay together as its members, portrayed by Christopher Walken, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener and Mark Ivanir, come face to face with an incomprehensible life and career change as one of their own faces a horrible illness and a forced retirement. The rest grapple with their own hidden fears and desires that come to the surface with this news as they try to sustain what was 25 years in the making or move on to a new chapter in their lives.
Director Yaron Zilberman treats us to a remarkably personable and relatable film as anyone who has witnessed the dissolution of any kind of relationship can attest to. Using his lens with a deliberate tone and pace, the world Zilberman crafts isn't one of overwrought melodrama or tired script clichés as the narrative suggests, but one of intense interpersonal relationships that strain at the unspoken emotions and feelings that have never been resolved after so many years. However, much like a piece of music, a film like this can only go as far as the quality of those playing it, and this ensemble cast makes some beautiful music together.
Easily his best performance in years, Christopher Walken delivers a heartfelt turn as a veteran cellist staring down the end of his career, showing that this veteran character actor often typecast as a little bit wacky and off center, still has a few tricks up his sleeve that just might earn him some gold during awards season. All four leads shine as the ensemble navigates the relationships that are inexorably intertwined after so many years together at each other's sides, but it is Walken that will keep you glued to the screen throughout.
A Late Quartet is a truly fine example of how quality professionals can breathe life into what could have been a fairly boring story and is highly recommended.
Rated 18A
Cast: Christopher Walken, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, Mark Ivanir
Directed by: Yaron Zilberman

These superb music documentaries on DVD will bring you closer to the music and musicians you love. After watching them, you'll listen to music--be it classical or rock--differently, more wisely, with better informed ears. At the same time, an appealing playfulness in their approach makes them entertaining as well as enlightening.
1. Don't Look Back--65 Revisited
D.A. Pennebaker has released a new and updated version of Don't Look Back, his compelling portrait of Bob Dylan during the time when the legendary musician was transitioning from acoustic to electric guitar. The updated version contains new and never-before-seen footage.
2. Air Guitar Nation
Play along as top air guitarists with names like Bjorn Turoque, C Diddy and The Torbinator travel to Oolu, Finland to compete to be world champion of playing imaginary guitars. It's a wonderfully silly and captivating romp into the world of would-be musicians.
3. Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who
In this 2007 release, documentary directors Paul Crowder and Murray Lerner show the entire history of The Who, setting the band into its social, political and musical context, and presenting superb background information on each of the musicians, how they got to know each other, how they came together to form the band and a comprehensive overview of all the ups and downs of their collaboration. Clips from concerts and lots of new interviews with band members Pete Townsend and Roger Daltry and others in their circle keep it a lively and altogether compelling journey through rock history and into the specific story of a truly great and revolutionary rock band.
4. Buena Vista Social Club
5. In Search of MozartUsing top musicians and music historians as guides, director Phil Grabsky takes us on a journey through Mozart's world and music that gives us greater understanding of the prodigy's playful genius. A must for lovers of classical music, this documentary will lead you to listen with more finely tuned ears.
6. Madonna: Truth or Dare
Madonna at her most controversial. Truth or Dare provides an intimate view of the rock star's life on her Blond Ambition concert tour in 1990. The film is provocative and stylish. Performances are filmed in vivid color, but off-stage footage--showing Madonna with her crew before and after the shows, threatened with arrest for public indecency and at her father's birthday party--are presented in black and white. This is a classic and fascinating doc.
7. Runnin' Down A Dream: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Head Heartbreaker Tom Petty is charming and candid in discussing life, love and the pursuit of music in Peter Bogdanovich's comprehensive documentary, which covers some 30 years of rock history, including memorable concert clips and interviews with Petty cohorts past and present.
8. Standing in the Shadows of Motown
9. The Dixie Chicks: Shut Up And Sing
When The Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines commented against the Iraq War while performing in London, American fans turned against the group, demanding that stations ban their music. This Barbara Kopple-directed documentary chronicles the group's campaign to regain their popularity, offering terrific music along with intimate glimpses into the lives of The Dixie Chicks and a provocative overview of their strategy about marketing their music.
10. The McCartney Years
This three-disc set is full of rare footage, live performance and music videos--with Paul's newly recorded commentary for 40-plus music videos, which you can view in chronological order or according to McCartney's own playlists. Discs One and Two feature music videos spanning from "Maybe I'm Amazed" (1970) to "Fine Line" (2005), with extras including a doc about the making of the Chaos and Creation in the Backyard album in 2005, and a Band on the Run promotional film. Disc Three has a new edit of McCartney's 1991 MTV Unplugged appearance, plus 11 songs from his appearance at the 2004 Glastonbury Festival--both with new McCartney commentary.

Where does permaculture now sit within Transition?
I first came across permaculture without realising it. I was travelling in Pakistan and China with a guy called Chris Gwin, who lived at Crystal Waters Permaculture Village in Queensland, Australia. He lived surrounded by permaculture.
Every time we passed through a village in the mountains with cherry and almond trees I would go sketching, and he would write a postcard to his local permaculture magazine raving about what he was seeing. I had no idea what he was on about. At the end of 2 months travelling with Chris, I couldn't have told you anything about permaculture beyond the fact that it was something to do with almond trees. And possibly cherries.
When I got back to England, my friend David Johnson gave me a copy of Bill Mollison's Permaculture a Designer's Manual, an impressive gift out of the blue as it is quite pricey, on his hunch that "I think you might enjoy this". I am eternally in his debt. What he gave me was a manual of earth repair, a practical guide to conserving the habitats and ecosystems that remain, and to building new ones that provide food, fuel and fibre while also restoring the planet. The vision and the ambition of the Designers Manual were such that I still remember that initial thrill that surged through me as, over the coming days, I realised the dynamite of what I was holding in my hands.
As the years passed, permaculture became the air I breathed. I did my design course, became one of those running the Bristol Permaculture Group, and in time began teaching, first introductory courses, and then, around 2000, taught my first Design Course, which in time evolved into the fulltime course in Kinsale. I grew food, I planted fuel forests, I taught and encouraged. As I say, it was the air that I breathed.
So the question that the co-ordinators of this splendid social reporting project have asked me to look at here is to explore the links between Transition and permaculture. I guess for me, Transition was, from the beginning, seen as a kind of Trojan Horse. Becoming increasingly frustrated with what I saw as the permaculture movement holding a vitally important tool and set of insights but not seeming to be in any great hurry, either consciously or subconsciously, to share them beyond a small niche of like-minded people (something which is much less the case today but is still observable), I felt the strong need to ramp things up big time. Transition was created, as I say, as a kind of Trojan Horse, into which one could stuff permaculture, the psychology of change, etc. etc, and then manage to simply wheel it into the wider consciousness, sidling it past people who would glance over their shoulders and say "oh, it's just Transition".
It is a question of course as to whether we have actually managed to do that or not. Certainly I find Transition a much easier thing to explain. It doesn't necessitate drawing pictures of chickens, arrows and greenhouses. People somehow get it faster. It is impossible to say whether Transition has managed to go to more places than permaculture has, but my sense is from places I visit and people I meet, that it has gone to different places. It has created a different language, a different 'hat' if you like, which is able, like our wooden horse, to trundle into different places. I find myself able to talk about 'multiple function' and 'edge' in a slightly different language, in places where permaculture would be looked at with bafflement. Perhaps it's because Transition, for the most part, presents itself without many of the more countercultural trimmings that often accompany permaculture, and which can turn some people off from the outset?
In The Transition Handbook, permaculture principles were seen as being the foundational principles, underlying design principles if you like, shared with the permaculture movement. The Transition Companion looks at it in a different way, seeing permaculture as a 'Tool for Transition', one of many tools that a Transition group can pick up and weave into their work. Although the book doesn't in any way 'rank' the Tools, if it did, permaculture would be at the top.
This probably tells you more about how the Transition model has been reframed, rather than how permaculture's value or importance has increased or decreased. I do think though that it perhaps captures the fact that rather than Transition having its roots firmly in permaculture, with Transition built off that with other influences coming in later, like ornaments on a Christmas tree (as was the case in the Handbook), permaculture has become one of many tools.
I no longer have time to teach permaculture, given the amount of my time that Transition consumes voraciously. I do miss it though, its hands-on, practical, design-led approach is powerful stuff, and I always loved the 'lightbulb moment' people would get on the course where it would all click in and they'd 'get it'. It would always come at a different time for different people, but was always a joy to behold. Having an understanding of permaculture enables people to see depths to Transition that otherwise might be harder to spot, which is why it is recommended that at least one person in any core group has some kind of permaculture training. It gives an ability to conceive things as systems, to design for abundance, a diversity of yields and to assemble the ingredients a sustainable community will need in the most effective way possible. It is invaluable.
So, it would appear to me that while permaculture and Transition are two separate things, with much in common, both are stronger and more effective for standing on their own distinct turf but helping each other out and informing each other as much as possible. Permaculture is certainly much more than just almond and cherry trees, and Transition has become much more than just permaculture with knobs on. Both are vital tools for the creation of a post-carbon, post-growth, more localised world and it has been a huge joy to watch both blossom in the last few years. Rob Hopkins

Nice piece, Rob, and a hard act to follow with my own blog on the matter later this week. I'd love to see permaculture getting a higher profile within the transition movement because, as you say, it's key. Looking forward to reading the new book too.

Very welcome, and enjoyable Dr Rob. Thanks & keep up the great work!
Permaculture and transition...14 November 2012 - 4:37pm — Ale Fernandez
It's a nice coincidence that just yesterday someone from Permacultura Barcelona asked Jeb Brugman what he thought about permaculture and transition at a q&a about resilient urban environments that members of Barcelona en Transició got invited to. He hadn't mentioned them in his talk (Organised by the local agenda21 people http://www.bcn.cat/agenda21). The talk was mostly made up of charts and graphs, maps and large scale project outcomes in major cities("we looked at the data and saw the women were feeding more veg to their children" etc), usually via conventional funding from big banks and govts.
His answer was that for him, in corporate speak at least, P+T are "weak signals" - something that market analysts look for in order to provide mainstream commercial alternatives.. Maybe he can say that about transition with it's grassroots approach, but I think permaculture is more like a science which you can apply at any scale, and that he'd do good to have a few permaculturists around even when checking out his maps and charts...

Be thankful for Facebook — this year, you won't have to endure that awkward 10-minute conversation at the bar Thanksgiving Eve when you run into former high school classmates. You already know how many kids they have, where they moved to, how many divorces are under their belt and how much weight they've gained. You're Facebook friends now — a simple smile and nod should suffice.
Thanksgiving, on the other hand, is still not for the faint-hearted. Here's how things will go in my household:
Aunt Kathy: So, you gotta boyfriend yet?
Me: Nope, but that pumpkin pie you just devoured is my girlfriend's specialty. —Sara Havens

Who we are
In January of 2007 the Southwestern Ohio Council for Higher Education (SOCHE) assembled a Creative Class Taskforce, consisting of many area organizations, to bring Dr. Richard Florida and the Creative Class Group's "Creative Communities Leadership Project" to the greater Dayton area. This regional community empowerment project, now entitled DaytonCREATE, is an effort by 32 "catalysts" in five teams to revitalize the region's economic competitiveness using Dr. Florida's theories, existing strengths, and open source planning with the community. More information is available on Dr. Florida and the Creative Class at www.creativeclass.com
UpDayton is one of the five initiatives proposed by seven of the 32 Dayton catalysts. It was created to spur economic growth within the region by attracting and retaining young talent. UpDayton will do this by engaging, connecting and empowering young professionals in the Miami Valley.
Who is the Young Talent? The young talent is the next generation of the creative class. They are engineers, poets, lawyers, computer programmers, scientists, artists and architects – anyone who is between the ages of 18-40 and creates for a living. Today's entire creative class accounts for 30% of the population and over 50% of all wages and salaries – young professionals and their constantly increasing college graduation rates will be an even bigger force in our world. Where young professionals choose to live and work will determine the regions and businesses that are successful in the next decade.
The annual UpDayton Summit gives Dayton's diverse young talent a louder voice in the region. Based on the ideas from the 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 Summits, we've launched an Action Plan for the community.

Why would she risk messing up Clint''s shoot. He is one of her personal heroes. And since when is boning Brad Pitt stressful?

Oh Pink its bull plop, alright. If you read US's weekly's article you will see it to. Since when is IVF a "stress free procedure." Since when is it the "quickest and easiest" way to get pregnant. Its very invasive and painful. Its the LAST resort for couples who want kids naturally. Its disturbs me US weekly thinks that IVF is some botox injection type thing. If you look at the times when Angelina could have conceived its impossible. Between her film schedules and UN work when on earth did she and Brad have IVF? Its just a ridiculous article from a lame tabloid that's upset that Brad and Angelina won't give them exclusives.

Apart from the Broderick story, it was pretty samey: Angelina and Brad went home from the hospital with the babies, Jennifer Aniston's clinginess is turning John Mayer off, and a handful of pseudocelebs showed up in public dressed very badly...same same.

People magazine because 1.) I have a subscription (2.) It's the only 99.9% legit magazine (3.) I want to read more about the Obamas. This weekend poll seems kinda poitnless, though, since most people just say "I don't even bother reading magazines, I just look at Pop."

Met's manager, Jerry Manuel said this to the press after the press conference where K-Rod was introduced as a Met:
"I do think that if we are to be where we expect to be, we'll have to have more than one guy save games."
He went on to say that Putz would be available when K-Rod had been over used, but also said the following:
[K-Rod] doesn't have to save, say, 75 games. The other guy [Putz] can save 35, whatever. That's big for us."
Anyone think that K-Rod's feathers will get ruffled a bit if this becomes a situation where there isn't a set-in-stone closer and Putz blows a save when K-Rod is totally healthy?
Anyway, I immediately thought this was a stupid thing to SAY publicly, but probably a pretty good idea in practice.
Here is the link to the article: K-Rod and Putz: Co-Closers!!!

Remember Me
This truck and angler fell through just upstream of the Bone Lake access site in northeast Iron County during a very cold February a couple years ago. Some ice is never safe. (Ziegler photo)By Bill Ziegler for the Iron County ReporterIRON COUNTY— With many people coming home or to their cabins in Iron County for the Christmas holidays, many outdoors enthusiasts want to know if it is safe to go out on the ice.
This is especially the case when there is not enough snow to enjoy other winter sports such as cross country skiing, snowmobiling or snowshoeing. If we don't get significant snow, ice fishing may be one of the best available outdoor activities this holiday season. Ice anglers should always be very aware of ice safety, but especially on early ice. A number of people and vehicles in Michigan and Wisconsin fall through the ice each year. In some cases, these incidents end up in fatalities. By following some caution and basic ice safety awareness, many of these incidents can be avoided. Prior to my retirement from the DNR Fisheries Division, I received numerous annual phone calls from the media and anglers asking about ice conditions and ice thickness and recommendations for ice travel. The Michigan DNR does not endorse a specific ice thickness guide for ice travel. However, conventional thinking typically follows that solid ice should be greater than two inches thick for foot travel. On early ice all anglers should carry an ice spud to constantly check ice thickness. That same conventional wisdom has considered that greater than four inches of solid ice should be present before taking light ATV's and snowmobiles on to the ice. The DNR never recommends driving auto and truck vehicles on the ice since most ice conditions vary as you travel longer distances on ice. All lakes do not freeze over at the same time. The shallower lakes (such as Runkle and Emily Lakes in Iron County) typically freeze over sooner, and the deeper lakes later (such as Chicaugon and First Fortune Lakes in Iron County). On Dec. 19, I checked the ice depth on those four indicator lakes. Emily and Runkle had just over four inches of ice. First Fortune Lake only had two inches of ice in the deeper sections of the lake. Chicaugon Lake had only a skim of ice in the deeper sections of the lake. This is typical early ice development in the area lakes. At Chicaugon Lake the ice in the deeper water areas of the lake is typically not as thick as the ice on shallower lakes in the early winter. If we get significant snow, on these relatively thin ice conditions, slush will form. That makes ice less safe, even after it refreezes. The snow cover will also insulate the ice slowing solid ice formation. The ice on the shallower lakes is good solid ice so far, but it would have to be thicker to avoid slush if we get a heavy snow. Rain and thawing can make early ice unsafe quickly. It will take several cold days and nights to offset a rain event to strengthen the ice early in the season. Many anglers assume that ice thickness is uniform and that six inches of ice means that it is six inches thick everywhere. My fishing buddy lives on the Crystal Falls impoundment and measured the ice in a previous year. In mid winter he consistently measured 2.5 feet of ice as he traveled down river and then he measured only 3 inches of ice in an area with a current. Extreme caution should be taken in any impoundment or flowage with current. Great care should also be followed on waters with significant spring water input. If you venture to nearby great lakes bays anglers should avoid traveling near points and breakwater ends as there is often Great Lakes currents that erode the ice in those areas. In addition to all frozen rivers, flowages, and impoundments a few specific lakes to watch out for in this area where springs keep ice open or thin near shore, are Camp Lake and Fire Lake in Iron County. Iron County's Bone Lake and Paint Lake public accesses are downstream on the impounded outlet stream, making both accesses dangerous even in mid winter. Caution also needs to be followed on Michigamme and Peavy Reservoirs where winter draw downs result in shifting ice. In addition, Peavy often has open water in the Michigamme River inlet at the upper end in mid winter where the river is constricted as it enters the reservoir. The tail water areas should also be avoided in reservoirs that lead into a downstream reservoir like many of the impoundments in the Iron Mountain area on the Menominee River. Lake Antoine has an area where the ice is never safe south of the West boat landing where mine water is pumped into the lake. Ice angler can take a few extra steps on ice safety. Ice picks can be made from large spikes and tied together with thick twine, they can be used to pull yourself back up on the ice if you fall through. You can also buy those ice safety picks at local bait shops and outdoor sporting goods stores. People who venture out on early ice should keep an ice spud and regularly check the ice thickness. It is always good to have a buddy when you venture onto the ice that could help you if you get into trouble. ATV riders and snowmobilers can also keep a rope with them that they can throw to someone whose machine has broken through the ice. If you have questions about the depth of the lake you are interested in ice fishing on, you can access lake depth maps at the DNR fish website – maps – inland lake maps - http://www.michigan.gov/dnr. If you have more specific questions you can call the Michigan DNR at 906-875-6622 in Crystal Falls.

Lake Placid senior point guard Alex Coyne torched the nets for a game-high 24 points to lead the Green Dragons to a 63-39 demolition of Tampa Catholic in the Class 4A-Region 3 semifinals on Tuesday night.
Lake Placid jumped in front by 18 points at halftime and never looked back in rolling to the one-sided victory over the stunned Crusaders in a packed and noisy gymnasium. The Green Dragons play in the regional finals at Fort Myers Dunbar on Saturday night.
"We did fantastic," said second-year Lake Placid girls basketball coach Jackie Coyne. "We were in foul trouble, but our bench came through and it was a team effort.
"I couldn't be prouder of the girls, and the crowd was so loud it motivated us to play harder and was a real advantage."
Lake Placid, known as a second-half team, came out clicking on all cylinders to start the contest. Senior forward Bria Wilson bulled her way for four of her 11 points in the paint and Coyne added eight, including a pair of 3-pointers, to give the Green Dragons a 16-6 lead heading into the second quarter.
"We executed our offense and moved the ball well," Coach Coyne said. "We applied a lot of defensive pressure on Tampa Catholic and kind of took them out of their game."
The Green Dragons used a full-court-press in the second quarter to force numerous Crusader turnovers, which were converted into easy baskets.
Quiahja Williams was a monster on the glass with 11 rebounds, and the freshman scored six of her 10 points to help build the lead to 31-13 at the half.
Tampa Catholic tried to make a run in the third quarter as forward Danielle Battle scored eight of her team-high 19 points and guard Brittany Betts added five of her 15.
Lake Placid answered as Wilson scored seven points and Coyne ended the quarter by drilling a 3-pointer as the crowd erupted to make it 45-26 heading into the final eight minutes.
"Alex played tough," Coach Coyne said. "She understands the game, took excellent care of the ball and did a good job of getting the ball inside to Bria, Raveen Gobourne and Breauna Corley."
The Green Dragons made sure there would be know miraculous rally by Tampa Catholic as Shaquaiva Gayle scored four of her seven points and Coyne added 10, including a pair behind the arc to seal the victory and move Lake Placid one win from the state Final Four.
"I knew we had a special team when the season started," said Alex Coyne. "I knew we were going to be successful, I just didn't know how much.
"We played great defense, the crowd got us going and I appreciate and cherish every second on the court."
Lake Placid, which improved to 20-5 on the season, takes on Dunbar on Saturday night with the winner going to the state Final four.
Dunbar knocked off Lincoln Park by a score of 74-61 on Tuesday.
"We know Dunbar is a good team, but we're improving and peaking at the right time," said Alex Coyne.
No girls basketball team from Highlands County has ever gone this far in the state playoffs and the Green Dragons are on an impressive run.
"We've had a wonderful season and we're playing our best basketball," Coach Coyne said. "The kids have responded and bought into what we're trying to accomplish.
"We're used to being on the road, we have nothing to lose and we're going to enjoy the ride as long as it lasts."

text: What do you guys think about making a move for DeAndre Jordan? He's a solid young center playing behind Kaman in LA. He's only 22, and he's an unrestricted free agent. I don't think he would be to expensive, and he could greatly help out Charlotte . Jordan could also easily be the teams starting center. He's not so great offensively, but he is a defensive stud. He's a block-o-holic. Tyrus, Kwame and DeAndre would be great defensive big men. I believe that it's worth a shot.

A BELATED BIG CONGRATS on reaching that 1M mark and your first new red car, and joining the Million Points Club! Really awesome! Others ahead of you have retired, so there is lots of room at the 2M milestone! More than 90% of all the GBs that signed up over the past 13 years will never make it to 1M points, most GBs quit before they even get close, and there are less than 9,000 GBs out of more than 8 million GBs that have gone on to 1M points and their first red car! Can you believe that GBs are still active going on 13 years and heading for the 5M milestone, and many GBs continue on before they retire between 3M and 4M! Keep going, don't stop now, like so many that retired once they reached their first red car! Keep leading the way for others to follow in GasBuddyland! Thanks buddy for your 6+ years of dedication here on GasBuddy! Have a nice week! Ron
Thanks DrivingtoMars!!!
Big Congrats on passing the 1M point mark, and your 746 consecutive days are solid. Thank you for being a Gasbuddy, and helping others choose to save on their gas purchases. Best to you in this Summer season. Regards.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) - A new report to Congress says pipeline spills caused by flooding dumped 2.4 million gallons of crude oil and other hazardous liquids into U.S. waterways over the past two decades.
The Department of Transportation report was crafted in response to a 2011 spill into Montana's Yellowstone River. The spill highlighted shortcomings in federal pipeline rules that require lines to be buried just 4 feet below riverbeds. Such scant cover can quickly be scoured away by floodwaters.
The Associated Press obtained the report this week. It says a review of accidents found flood-related pipeline spills since 1993 in California, Texas, Iowa, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota and Kentucky.
Agency officials will report back to Congress within the next year on what else should be done to prevent such accidents.

Awesome by The X Volvo lover on 07/31/2011. Trim: 2008 Hyundai Tiburon GT LTD, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Well pretty much everything
Cons: all the plastic and the rear room
Overall review: Go buy one you will not be disappointed

Sporty little car! by Joanne from Havelock, NC on 06/23/2010. Trim: 2008 Hyundai Tiburon GS, Owned 2 years.
Pros: It handles any road condition very well. I truly enjoy driving this car both short and long distance trips are very comfortable. It has a very sporty body design and the interior looks great as well. I have had many compliments on this car. I would highly recommend this car and the warranty is outstanding!
Cons: I have only had trouble with my left speakers cutting off only on satellite radio when receiver is hot, other than this the car has been a terrific purchase
Overall review: It is a worthy investment. There is few manufactures that have a warranty that lasts as long as the payments. I am very pleased with this purchase, having absolutely no regrets.

Hipness on a budget by Emerald3358 on 05/06/2010. Trim: 2008 Hyundai Tiburon GS, Owned 2 years.
Pros: I like the way this car looks on the road...it's cool and sporty without the big cool and sporty pricetag.
Cons: The only thing is the lack of space. Even with the back seats folded down, when I travel I really have to work to get everything in (my stuff and my work stuff). Plus, you really can't take anyone in the backseat...it's just too small. But if you are single and don't need to take your friends around much it works out fine.
Overall review: I really like this car and feel pretty cool driving it.
Review ID: #546998 Is this review offensive?
Good For a Single Person by An MSN Autos Consumer on 11/13/2009. Trim: 2008 Hyundai Tiburon GT, Owned 1 year.
Pros: I like how the way the car looks, very sporty. I used this car for a month as it was a brand new rental car (350 miles when I got it) that enterprise loaned to me while my 2008 Altima was being repaired. The car accelerates well for a small car and it has a nice kick to it.
Cons: The Kenwood stereo they have in the car looks like an after-market one someone bought from Best Buy or something. I swore up and down that it was an after market stereo until i saw the hyundia logo on the bottom left corner and then read about it on the internet. The seats are very uncomfortable and there is little room inside. This car is the worst to buy if you have a baby/child who uses a carseat. Its a hassle trying to get your child safely secure in the car seat because of how little room this car has. The car did not handle turns very well.
Overall review: Overall its a nice car to drive for a SINGLE PERSON. I do not recommend this car for people with small children.

"The coolest sports car" by Fun girl who loves to travel on 10/22/2009. Trim: 2008 Hyundai Tiburon GS, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Great looking sport car! Beautiful in silver color and rides smooth and has a great pick up. I love my sporty car! I've gotten so many compliments from guys at the gas station, when getting gas and asking me how I like it. It sure turns a lot of heads when driving by. Some think it's a BMW.
Cons: Not a thing, it's the best car I have ever owned.
Overall review: A great looking sporty car and a great price. I owned a Santa Fe before this tiburon and really liked it and had no problems with it either. In fact, I used it for a trade in, once I reached the 100,000 mileage.

Should I let my mentally ill mother-in-law visit my baby?
We cut off all relations with my mother-in-law more than two years ago because she renounced our marriage and played a lot of manipulative games. She's also manic-depressive and delusional, and when she doesn't get her way she stops taking her medicine. I told myself that if I ever had a child I wouldn't let him near her. But she says she'll commit suicide if we don't allow her to be a part of the baby's life. Aside from making sure she gets the help she needs, what else can I do?

Her threat to commit suicide is not an appropriate reason to allow her to see the child (in fact, you may actually be committing the crime of child endangerment). The appropriate response to such a suicide threat is to make a report with the authorities (allow them to make the conclusion that she is making an idle manipulative threat). If she is playing games, being 5150'd (being detained for a 72 hour hold to determine if she is actually a threat to herself or others) will discourage her from doing it again.posted 08/01/2006 by littlelawyergirl
personally, I wouldn't let her see your baby. I know it sounds rude, but if she really is that psychotic than you can't really trust her even in your presence. What if you had to go to the bathroom and just left the baby for a second?? Also, my instinct is to totally deny someone what they want if they're using threats to get it, especially one as serious as suicide. That is just wrong.posted 08/01/2006 by sarahsperry
Your mother-in-law is exhibiting many symptoms of a serious mental illness, and if she is threatening to committ suicide then she needs to be evaluated and possibly hospitalized by mental health professionls. When your mother-in-law gets some help and is seeking treatment then she could possibly see your child supervised. Of course you want your child to know his grandmother, but under healthy conditions. Explain to her your feelings and that you want her in your family and to see her grandchild, but that she needs to be more stable.posted 08/01/2006 by coswald
My mother is bi-polar also, and she refuses to take her medication. My son is 4 mo. old and she nsists on seeing him. I limit her visitations to once every month and they are short visits, and they are supervised because she is not stable. I completely understand your situation but maybe there is a compromise. It is a sad situation, maybe when she is stable, and having a "good day" she should only be allowed to see your daughter. I wouldn't leave her alone with her at all. Good Luck and God Bless.posted 08/01/2006 by PRBEACH
My mother is bi-polar, and has a few other very serious mental conditions that make her VERY unstable! I have cut off all contact with her, and she is not allowed to see my children. My brother and I had a very disfunctional childhood with a dangerous mother, and he has cut off all contact with her also. Go with your gut feeling, because it will lead you along the correct path in your decision making. DON'T let others make you feel bad for your decision. Family or not, your children's safety is your responsibility, and no one else's. All the nay-sayers can go jump in a lake!posted 08/01/2006 by echoate
No, there is no need for your child to have someone like that in their lives. If she was not your mother in law would you even consider it?posted 08/01/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
Look, I am a grandmother raising my granddaughter and I am having the problem with her mother being bipolar, my daughter. I talked my daughter into letting me raise my grandduaghter, because of her mental state of mind. Now my duaghter has another child that I am concerned about again. So far my grandson is doing o.k. with his mother. Yes, the number one concern is the safety of your baby. I feel that grandparents should have the right to see their grandchildren even if the have a mental condition. Just make sure that your baby is not alone with your mother in law at any time. I will tell you what, if I could not see my grandchildren I would go crazy too. You are manipulation your mother in law, by telling her also. Try to be understanding to what she probably feels. Wouldn't you feel the same way if you where kept from your grandchildren, because of something that you have and have no control over your illness. This mental illness runs in the family. Mine is not severe has my mothers or daughters.posted 08/01/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
No, mentally ill people should not be allowed to manipulate you into letting them spend time with your children. Be the protector of your children.posted 08/01/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
First, don't give in to her threats about suicide. And, if she continues to do so I'd call a local mental hospital for evaluation. A short but serious stay in a mental hospital may yield tremendous results. But, above all, don't be controlled by her manipulation, whether it's her actual choice or a by-product of her disease. Go with your motherly instincts about visitation. My son has NO contact with my father due to and a variety of mental problems that he refuses to seek professional help for. Don't let others guilt you into doing something that you feel puts your child in harm. You have to live with the consequences, not them.posted 08/01/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
Those individuals who say to let your your mother-in-law be a part of your child's life - have never been put into this situation. My mother-in-law is like this. Every holiday, visit, phone call is extremely stressful. The first time (and the only time) she visited our baby - she refused to give him back. She sat on our couch for hours and held him. She told me everything she thought I was doing and would do wrong in her opinion. When it was getting late and we needed to start getting him ready for bed, she refused to give him up. My husband had to practically wrestle him from her arms. The same visit, our baby's leg turned dark blue from the way she was holding him (he had circulation issues early on). We asked her to move his leg to get blood flowing again and she said there was still movement so it was fine. We had to ask several times and started to get upset with her before she repositioned him. We have had very limited phone contact with her since our son was born and our lives have been wonderful. When we do have contact with her - it seems to consume our lives for hours and days afterwards. I won't even get into the condition of her home (unclean conditions, chemicals, knifes, etc. lying around) and her suicide attempt when she had a daycare in her home. Take control of your life! You need to do what is best for your family!posted 08/01/2006 by a BabyCenter Member

I found error ;
Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/zinbads/public_html/onlineoneclick.com/wp-content/themes/stark/functions/theme_shortcodes.php on line 811
How to resolve it?
that info does not help at all. I can only guess: Could you resave the theme option pages?
If you opened a ticket already, please stay on your ticket for support.

Are there CSS3 image animation effects included?
thanks for your interest.
What exactly are you refering to?
The slider and the portfolio use css3 transition effects if supported by the browser.

When will update plugins Slider Revolution and Visual Composer to the latest version of the template STARK?
this is the latest version:
Revolution Slider V 3.0.3
Files: plugin/revsliderwp-3.0.3.zip in downloaded zip
Visual Composer V 3.6.6
Files: plugin/js_composer_3_6_6.zip in downloaded zip
There are new versions of revolution slider and visual composer coming on almost a weekly basis if not faster. If you want instant new versions and don't want to wait I suggest you purchase the revolution slider and visual composer plugin which will allow you do update all your themes using these plugins with the latest versions once those are released.

hey damojo!
try to use the shortcode "tour area" in a portfolio. but it does not work.http://www.seda.at/wordpress/portfolio/seda-tankanbohrgerat/
any solution idea?
we did not modify anything about the standard visual composer shortcodes. The tour section looks strange for us as well. Please us an accordion or tab shortcode.
Regards, damojo
Pre-sale question,
we use 2 widget on our main site and we need to know if you are aware off trouble with : 1- Nextgen Galery 2-UAM – access for user
thanks for your interest.
We cannot possibly test with all of the hundreds of popular plugins available. I don't think there should be any issues though.
Regards, damojo
The visual composer included is not up to date, there is a Version 3.6.8
Visual Composer – current version 3.6.8 available for download!
When i try to update it the update could not be done.?
Is it a way to get the latest version
with so many new updates being released its hard for us to keep up as we always need to test the new releases and implement them in our files. Stark currently has VC 3.6.6
We will update all used plugin versions with the next large theme update.
If you always need the latest versions right away, you will have to buy the plugins and redownload and upload yourself.
Regards, damojo
i want to buy this theme , but i would like to know if it needs further modification if i will use plugins for memberships and recurring payments for my clients for my services?
please see my previous comment.
French version. My wordpressis in french and some word in your theme still english. Witch file do i need to use or translate
thanks for your comment!
You need to translate these parts to french. Please take a look at the localization part in the documentation.

I have a couple of open tickets in your support forum that have not been answered. Can someone take a look please?
Also, I am getting a large gap of space on my page when using two 'team member' mods in a 50% 50% column with a 100% headline col underneath and a contact form.
Any idea what might be causing this or where do you suggest I start looking for possibly causes. styles?
we are currently in a holiday season with our supporters party out of office. I will look at your open tickets asap!
Regards, damojo
Ah! ok. I was wondering…. support is usually pretty quick. thanks.
How do I reduce the amount of space between the heading and an unordered list (see http://alchemypartnersnetwork.net/our-philosophy/)
There is too much space between "Alchemy: What we do" and the list.
sorry I am a little blind. Where exactly is the unwanted space?
Kind regards, Damojo
The space below "Partners: How we share this power" is too large and should be equal to the space above. Somehow I just can't make it so! Thanks!
ul list elements in the content have 10px margin below. Just change that to 20px if you want more spacing below lists. The "Partners: How we share this power" part is in a regular paragraph tag in your case which has 20px margin below.
I advise you to use the google chrome code inspector to find the elements you want to mod in css. In that case this is important for you: http://damojo.ticksy.com/faq/1295
Regards, damojo
I just purchased the theme and am very happy. There is one major problem. The theme does not work properly with IE 8. I noticed another customer had this issue but you said it was fixed. I just downloaded it and it is not responsive in IE.
Even the http://stark.damojothemes.com/ will not work in IE.
Can you please help?
thanks for your comment.
Unfortunately IE8 does not support responsive behaviour period so you will not find any other theme that does for IE8
Regards, damojo
It says that this theme is buddypress ready, but there is no demo of this. BP 1.7 works with any Wordpress theme, what makes this theme unique in it's interaction with Buddypress ?
we did go the extra mile and tweaked the visual appearance of buddypress to make it a better fit for Stark.
Kind regards, Damojo
any chance of adding it to the demo ?
We have a mash-up with bbpress here -> http://stark.damojothemes.com/forums/
Kind regards, Damojo
Super slow support. 3+ days and counting for a response on a ticket so far.
Hi Craig,
as mentioned in our ticket response we are currently transitioning to a new support team on top of our whole team being out of office for holidays. Its just a coincidence right now that the support quality has been lacking in the past days, I apologize!
Regards, damojo
Have you found a fix for
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /home/jardin/www/wp-content/themes/jardindessaveurs/functions/theme_functions.php on line 111
I am also getting this error (obviously with my server names though)
After a completely fresh install of Stark. Tried re saving theme options Didnt work.
Thanks for the reply on the support forums. Saving theme options did work that was my mistake, i must have refreshed too quickly when doing it or tried to work too fast (its a problem of mine i know haha) Thank You!
Anyway, I have done this though lately randomly and i am thinking this is due to a plugin maybe? i dont know. But the site randomly Crashes. And Chrome gives me an Infinate Redirect Loop error. The only way i can fix this is to re-upload the Database Backup via PhpMyAdmin. Have absolutely no idea what is causing this. Anyone Got any clues?
can you show me a link to your site?
I will see if I can find something plugin wise. I have never heard of any crashes though, the engine used for stark has been tested in many themes.
Regards, damojo

Unicyclists from beginner to expert level will compete in individual and team riding skill events including artistic freestyle, street and flatland, track and distance racing, trials and mountain unicycling. Held since 1973, NAUCC is the largest gathering of unicycle enthusiasts in North America with activities for unicyclists of all ages and skill levels.

"From unicycle basketball to the remarkable stunts of trials, and creative artistic events, there's nothing else like nationals anywhere."

I went seek legal help when my ex refused to co-parent and alienate me from our child a yr ago when I was going through medical issues and asked him to "help" me more with him. We went to mediation and I asked to keep the verbal schedule we had of a 50/50 custody arrangement that we've had for the past 3 years and also wanted him to allow me access to his medical records that he denied to me & for us to take parenting classes. Before this I was the primary parent of our child who is now 14. We have never been to court before and he has never paid child support. But because he better off financially and has lied to the court he has won. Also due to his manipulation of our child and he now chooses to be with him because he has a better lifestyle with him at the moment. Is it too late?
First and foremost, make sure you have an attorney who specializes in family law. He or she can review your file and let you know what your chances are. Based on the facts listed here, you may have a child with Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS), and PAS cases are some of the toughest custody cases. Nevertheless, this is your child you are talking about, and if you want to continue to fight for custody of this child, you may be able to do so depending on several factors. First, it depends on whether your order is final or is a temporary order. If it's a temporary order and there are more court dates, then your case is not over yet and you can present evidence of parental alienation. Your lawyer will be able to help you do that based on the information you give him or her. If the case is over and the order is final, you will need to show a substantial change in circumstances to modify or change the current order. You may be able to appeal it, but it's difficult to overturn a lower court order on appeal unless the lower court made serious errors. Discuss your strategy with a competent family lawyer. There are several issues present here but not all facts are clear. However, it appears that your child may have parental alienation syndrome. Also, your child is 14, so he is going to have a "say" in where he lives. That doesn't mean he has the final say, but his input will be significant. A good family lawyer can help you present evidence of parental alienation.
If you believe it is in your child best interest you should continue to "fight" for your child. I suggest that you contact a local family law attorney and have the attorney review your file. Modification of the present orders may be possible if they were obtained through fraud and/or there have been changed circumstances that justify modification of the present custody orders.
Depending on when the judge made the ruling, you may be able to appeal or file to correct an error. However, if there is no basis to appeal or move to correct errors, then you would need a change in circumstances since the last order to seek modification.

Cavanaugh Treatment Program
Located at the CADA Adolescent Treatment Center, the Cavanaugh Adolescent Program is a high-intensity residential treatment program for adolescents. It is owned and operated by the Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse of NWLA, and is licensed by Louisiana's Department of Health and Hospitals. We are preferred service providers for Blue Cross Blue Shield, ValueOptions, United Behavioral Health, and Medicaid. Other commercial insurance payment arrangements and private pay agreements are available.
Since 1989, the Cavanaugh Treatment Program has had a contractual relationship with the Louisiana Office of Addictive Disorders to provide residential levels of care for adolescents who are diagnosed with addictive diseases.
The program provides a structured, safe and therapeutic environment utilizing intensive staff support for adolescents age 12-17. This is a 30-day program and usually is an adolescent's first experience with an out of home placement for treatment of their substance abuse. We accept referrals from all over the state. Services available include:
- Individual, group, and family therapies
- Recreational therapy
- Chemical dependency groups
- Relapse prevention groups
- Didactic and substance abuse educational lectures
- 12-Step recovery community groups
As with the residential program, we utilize a system of positive praise and rewards and non-punitive consequences. Our therapeutic environment promotes stability, structure, self-control, and responsibility for one's own actions.
The educational component is fully integrated into each client's individual treatment plan. While in the Inpatient Treatment Program, adolescents attend classes on-site in a classroom. All clients attend school with a certified teacher.
The clients who are in the Adolescent Residential Program (Halfway Program) attend public school or GED preparation classes in the local community. Some of our clients also attend college or technical school if they have already obtained their high school diploma or GED.
Staff and Licensures
All counseling staff for the Cavanaugh Adolescent Program are registered, certified and/or licensed by the state of Louisiana to provide substance abuse treatment, and are mandated by the state's regulatory authorities to participate in ongoing training and prescribed supervision.
All clients are approved for admission and reviewed weekly by the Medical Director who holds a specialty in the field of addictions. The Medical Director and Nurse Consultant are available 24-hours a day, seven days a week. In the case of an emergency, clients are transferred immediately to an acute care facility such as LSU Health Sciences Center in Shreveport.
The facility is licensed by the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals.
Typical Day for Our Clients
The inpatient Adolescent Program clients go to school in the morning and then return to the unit for a group. After lunch, the clients are allowed to go to the gym and play basketball or exercise. After returning from the gym they attend another group or lecture and also meet with their individual counselor. They attend outside community 12-step meetings several times a week in the recovery community.
All of the clients have the opportunity to go on weekend outings as long as they have advanced to the appropriate level and are doing well in the program.
Dorothy Cavanaugh
Formerly located in Bossier City at the Cavanaugh Treatment Center (now CADA Bossier Treatment Center), the Cavanaugh Adolescent Program was named for Dorothy Cavanaugh, a former director for the facilities' programs who was instrumental in the Adolescent Inpatient Program creation and implementation in the community. Dorothy began her membership in the CADA family as a counselor and dedicated much of her professional career and personal time to helping adolescents with addictive disorders until her untimely death in 2003.
True Stories
Corey's Story
Today is a year since I left the Adolescent Program of the Cavanaugh Treatment Center. I had to write to express my deepest gratitude toward you. I truly appreciate everything you did for me. Every morning I wake up and I thank God for putting you and the Center in my life. I miss the people. At the time, I didn't like the people but now that I look back, I love every single one of them. It's weird how that happens.
Since I've graduated from the program, so many things have appeared in my life. Opportunity after opportunity comes my way. My life has been given back to me immensely; more than I deserve. I'm learning more and meeting so many people. The program (of recovery) never ceases to amaze me. It's so awesome!
In the next few months, I will be moving and going to college in Lafayette. I received a band scholarship - my most recent blessing. I'm the best trumpet in the band, but I wasn't when I first got home from the Center, so I practiced really hard and there is another miracle. People say "I'll never be able to do anything since I messed my life up by drinking." It's what you put into it because I've tested it and it's true.
I love you so much and I'll remember you in my prayers.

thanks for your visit, inessa! For anyone who might be afraid to come to Boston in the winter because of this photo, be assured the weather isn't typically quite so wild to have everything along the harbor coated in dripping sea-ice! There had been an unusually wild storm a day or two earlier, and I took the photo because it was so out of the ordinary. (I hadn't known it at the time, but there were large sea-wall boulders along the edge behind me, about 2 meters cubed each, that were dislodged and thrown up onto land!)
Super clear picture, bravo !
What a story! Anyway, the storm went away and left this beauty for the thankful photographers:)
Thanks Jacques and thanks again, inessa!

We all know that the Browns are in need of a deep threat, pass catching receiver. Jerrel Jernigan is one of the more interesting prospects on the board. he is a receiver for Troy and is considered a good second round WR, why he is considered the third best prospect right now. He is 5-9 190 lbs, and runs a 40 of 4:35
- Blazing speed with tremendous hands
- Explosive after the catch
- Consistently catches the ball away from his body
- Great burst off the line, great burst in and out of his cuts
- Accelerates to full speed quickly
- Runs crisp routes
- Good leaping ability and body control, adjusts well to the ball in the air
- Willing to catch passes in traffic
- Elusive in the open field
- Can play outside or in the slot, and can contribute right away as a return man
- Can also line up in the backfield as either a running back or wildcat quarterback
- A little undersized
- May have trouble with physical corners in the NFL
- Although he's willing, he's not a good blocker because of his size.

Trends in tariff reforms and trends in wage inequality
AbstractThe authors provide new evidence on the impacts of trade reforms on wages and wage inequality in developing countries. While most of the current literature on the topic achieves identification by comparing outcomes before and after one episode of trade liberalization across industries, they propose a stronger identifying strategy. The authors explore the recent historical record of policy changes adopted by Argentina: from significant protection in the early 1970s, to the first episode of liberalization during the late 1970s, back to a slowdown of reforms during the 1980s, to the second episode of liberalization in the 1990s. These swings in trade policy comprise broken trends in trade reforms that they can compare with observed trends in wages and wage inequality. After setting up unusual historical data sets of trends in tariffs, trends in wages, and trends in wage inequality, the evidence supports two well-known hypotheses: trade liberalization, other things being equal, (1) has reduced wages, and (2) has increased wage inequality.
