Robert Pattinson Keeps His Cool and Takes the High Road on GMA
Robert Pattinson looked calm and relaxed arriving at the GMA studio in NYC early this morning. It's been a busy week for Rob, who kicked off his Cosmopolis promotional tour on Monday with a sit-down interview with The Daily Show's Jon Stewart. Rob gracefully made his way through his chat with Jon, avoiding questions about Kristen Stewart's cheating scandal while enjoying some ice cream, and this morning he was equally professional and did his best to sidestep questions about his personal life. Rob has one more TV stop planned during his stay in the Big Apple. Tomorrow he's expected to drop by MTV before his David Cronenberg-directed film hits theaters on Friday.

What a classy dude. He could throw Kristen under the bus but he's not. I do think he's going to have to say SOMETHING eventually. I have a feeling he's going to say something kind and professional. I mean he has a lot of promoting to do so there's going to be a lot more questions.

I have no intention on putting up threads unless I heard or saw some level of interest with Notre Dame whether it's mutual or not or yet to be determined. If over time the interest falls off and I already made the thread....not my fault..I can't see into the future...there was interest so I put it up. Count up all the recruiting threads I have put up and contributed my time to this site. There may be one/two sour grapes in the bunch...however I doubt it. I put a lot of pride in the recruits threads I make by putting all the information I can so YOU can form an opinion on the recruit and post for discussion. I can understand being called out for expressing my opinion on this forum but not the work I contribute to it. Thanks IM8

Oklahoma State football: Did Saturday provide reason to worry or reasons for optimism?
Seems likely.
But what to make of this defense?
OSU is still struggling to force turnovers, something that became the Cowboys calling card a year ago. They had no turnovers against the Jayhawks.
A year ago, OSU had four of them against Kansas.
But on a positive note, the defense did make five fourth-down stops. Those weren't turnovers in the true sense of the word, and yet, the defense did manage to get the ball back.
Add in the fact that Kansas was 6 of 18 on third down, and OSU held on those late-down situations almost three-fourths of the time.
"That's awesome," co-defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer said. "Add those two up and you've got a tremendous day on defense, especially for as many times as they were going for it on fourth down."
Still, the defense gave up two big plays late that led to touchdowns and gave the Jayhawks a chance to win the game. Spencer said there was a mental bust on one and a coverage error on the other.
Definitely correctable problems, but against woeful Kansas, you expect better.
Moving forward, the Cowboys better get more from the offense and the defense.
And fast.
Season wrecker Iowa State comes to Stillwater next week. League newbie TCU follows. Then comes a murderous stretch to end the season — at Kansas State, West Virginia, Texas Tech, at Oklahoma, at Baylor.
And remember, the Cowboys have nary an off week.
A close call at Kansas doesn't exactly provide a confidence boost going ahead.
"It's definitely not what most fans expected or even what we expected coming in here," kicker/punter extraordinaire Quinn Sharp said. "It's not the prettiest win that we'll have in the record books, but it's still a W, and we'll take it."
Where the Cowboys take it from here, though, is anyone's guess. The way the league looks, they could win every time they step onto the field or they could lose six games. Either scenario seems entirely possible.
How are you going to look at this one, OSU fans?
Well, that depends on how the Cowboys finish this season. A close call against the Jayhawks is either going to be a blip on the radar or a sign of bad things to come.

Vanilla Ice Gets Third Season of Reality Show, Needs a Palm Beach Mansion to Make Awesome
Categories: Broward News
Don't worry, he's very good with power tools. Via TMZ |
The bong-ripping, dirt-bike-jumping, "renegade home renovator" will be overhauling a Palm Beach home with his unique sense of flair over 13 episodes in 2013.
"Vanilla Ice chooses the house himself," she says. "It's never been his own personal home. He typically purchases a home in the West Palm Beach area for the show."
The show has been a surprising success, winning numerous awards, including the Telly Award and the aptly named Factual Entertainment Award.
To get a better sense of how the mastermind behind "Ice Ice Baby" rolls nowadays, just watch the below video. Be sure to note the use of hairspray and a lighter as a flamethrower and the complete loser dressed as Abraham Lincoln in the back of a pickup truck.

Additional Location Information
Holiday home Monschauer Perle (Monschau Pearl) has been completely renovated; it reopened on September 2, 2011. The house is on the quiet Kirchstrasse, just around the corner from the pedestrian zone and shopping streets.
More travel info about Monschau: Monschau is a town in the west of Germany, located in the Aachen district of North Rhine-Westphalia. The town is located in the hills of the Eifel, in the narrow valley of the Ruhr River. The historic town center was not destroyed in World War II, thus the many half-timbered houses and narrow streets, which have been nearly unchanged for 300 years, make Monschau a popular tourist attraction today. Historically the main industry of the town was cloth production. Be sure to visit the Felsenkeller Brewery Museum and the Monschau Castle when in the area.

As I predicted the U.S. is sending in more battle ships and Russia is sending battle ships and submarines to counter act. This could get ugly fast and nobody but France will support us.
Aug 31, 2013
This is a tough situation. Yes, the world should not let Syria do this to their own people but if we are not getting enough support from our allies then this maybe a situation that we cannot do anything about.
Other countries know their economy will tank if they get involved such as Britain. It sounds terrible but maybe we should start taking care of our own country before worrying about the internal affairs of other countries. It would be a different situation if Syria attacked the US or American entities overseas then there would be no question that we must protect our own. So this can be justified either way. Mind our own business, attend to our own economy and domestic problems and there is nothing wrong with that. Or send Syria a message that they committed a horrendous crime on humanity which is nothing wrong with that too. It does come down to money. Are we willing to let our economy go back into a recession to uphold our morals and values that we as Americans have always stood and fought for? |

There are no reasons to attack Syria. There are no proofs, that it was chemical weapon there, if it was chemical weapon, there are no proofs that side of Asad has used it, it could be used by one of hundreds rebellion groups there or by erdogan´s side ( it is enemy of Assad too or king of saudi arabia- it is not friend of Assad too, or by criminals from mosad or provocation from cia side)or maybe it was no chemical attack, but something others.
It cannot be that people explain and majority of politicians from whole world including usa are against it, even there are reasonable republicans, who are against it like Rand Paul, even Newton Gingrich, even many democracts are against it. But there are 3 freaks: obumbe, kerry, hagel and they want to attack and the whole world must sit qioetly, because these three global mass murderers and terrorists have wish of fresh blood. |

It's obvious that you graduated the fourth grade after only six years of trying... CONGRATS to you. Why the entire world thinks Obama is an idiot for a strike on Syria? Any intelligent thinking person knows why the rest of the world is against any strike THEY ARE RACIST!! |

Relax things seem to be settling down in Syria. Yes you had the Government fighting the Al-Qeida rebels (armed by us). But a secret report states that Obama sent a message stating 'If you guys can't get along you leave us no choice but to send Lynch over to live in your country.'. The response was 'OK you win! We will get along. You can bomb us or shoot us just please don't send that whacko here to live in my moms basement!'.

More wars =more vets with PTSD
Sep 1, 2013
A great article today about Syria on Yahoo. The picture shows Obama on the phone with his foot on the desk and Biden siting in a chair in deep thought. Still no sight of Congress but at least Obama says he will consult with Congress after their vacation and will postpone bombing Syria for days, weeks or maybe months if he wants.
On the flip side Syria is saying 'WTF you said you were going to attack us and we are still waiting.'. Here is where the brilliance of Obama comes in. He says he is going to do something like lower taxes or end wars and then BAMMM! right in your face sucka he's raising taxes and starting wars. |

He will never said that he will make lower taxes. It was Ron Paul, who would like lower taxes and end of wars. Obombe will make rather higher taxes, because wars are expensive. Such one tomahawk missile costs 1 mln dolars. |

You clearly missed the point of Kozinski's opinion which was not to argue that we bring back the firing squad, but rather this: "Sure, firing squads can be messy, but if we are willing to carry out executions, we should not shield ourselves from the reality that we are shedding human blood. If we, as a society, cannot stomach the splatter from an execution carried out by firing squad, then we shouldn't be carrying out executions at all."
In other words, why are we playing around with trying to make something brutal more cosmetic.
Just so, Judge Kozinski. I do not believe any significant portion of the American polity that accepts death as a penalty finds rifle-fire unacceptable as a means of exacting it, and I can well imagine a significant portion of that polity enthusiastically endorsing it. The (mis)use of medicines to effect death has always seemed to me perverse, showing misguided tenderness toward individuals, judged as best our system can, deserving of none.
Mr. Bleda certainly did miss the second sentence of your Judge Kozinski quote, but then so did I when reading this article, because, except for the link, it's not included.
I believe our entire judicial system is a money maker for all involved, and the only reason we have not moved toward a more swift and archaic form of justice, is so that those that are on the receiving end of the money stay in business. Damn those that are victims of the crimes perpetrated by these sinister individuals. The bleeding heart society will make sure this scum of the earth gets three squares, comfortable beds, televisions and extremely affordable health care. Are shooting squads out of the question? Not if you ask me. Of course this type of punishment will never go over; because if we started killing murderers the jails will empty and the money train will stop. Those in control would never want that.

The First Amendment rights of judges are a hot topic these days.
Plaintiffs' lawyers dodged a bullet last year when the U.S. Supreme Court spared a quarter-century-old precedent that had served as the legal linchpin of the modern investor class-action case. Despite that win, a new report suggests that securities class actions have lost some of their firepower.
In a week in which images of Prophet Muhammad were connected to acts of terror and defiant expressions of freedom, a sculpture of the prophet of Islam inside the U.S. Supreme Court has drawn little notice.
Alan Dershowitz has vowed to slap a defamation suit against the two lawyers who claimed in a court document that Florida financier Jeffrey Epstein arranged sexual liaisons for him with an underage prostitute. Those lawyers have beaten him to the punch.
The salacious allegations against Prince Andrew and Alan Dershowitz that surfaced in a federal lawsuit involving convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have generated international attention. Drawing less coverage is the lawsuit itself -- a case with the potential to expand the rights of crime victims during federal investigations.

ANT 380K • Method & Theory in Historical Archaeology
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |
27085 |
Franklin |
Course Description
This seminarís objective is to critically analyze and evaluate recent theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches used in historical archaeology, as an attempt to discover productive means for bridging theory and data in onesí own research. Seminar participants will read and discuss a range of case studies in terms of geographic areas and eras, although the focus will be on Americanist historical archaeology (i.e. anthropological archaeology). Research foci and bodies of evidence considered in the readings are intended to be diverse, and will include landscapes, architecture, and space, as well as material culture and historical texts. Given historical archaeologyís interdisciplinary nature, this seminar is intended not only for archaeologists, but also for students whose interests lie in interpreting the relationships between society, culture, and power, and the spatial and material world.
The seminar will begin with an introduction to the discipline, move into analyses of case studies, and conclude with a dialogue on hegemony, identity, representation, and the past.

Have been here a few times now and have never been able to fault one thing. The menu is extensive, (not just steaks), I like their chilli beef/chicken.
The service is very professional, it's open pretty much all day and the location with fabulous sea views - what more could you ask.
Fabulous food and good value for money. They also have a free car park.
Live music at the weekend too I believe but cannot comment on that.

There have been no end of rumours about Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson's relationship since the hunk flew to Australia last month to film 'The Rover' but don't fret 'Robsten' fan as an insider, who claims to be close to the brunette star claims there's no way Kristen would ever want to end things with Rob, because they're "soul mates".
Earlier this week HollywoodLife claimed Rob had a fling last summer when their relationship had broken down over Kristen's affair with married director Rupert Sanders, but despite other claims the couple are on the rocks, supposed insiders are now reportedly claiming the couple are in it "for the long run".
An insider reportedly told them: "Even if Rob did fool around with another person, this wouldn't make Kristen want to end things."
"She knows what she did to Rob was wrong and is the last one to judge him for what he may have or have not done. Rob is Kristen's best friend and according to her, he is her soulmate. You don't just break up with someone that easily. She's in this relationship for the long run."
But that doesn't mean it's been easy being away from Rob while he shoots his new movie and according to another close friend, Kristen's keeping busy by hanging out with her family and looking after the dogs her and Rob share.
Rob and Kristen: Are they soul mates? (Splash News)
"Kristen has been a homebody and continues to spend most of her time with her dogs" they reportedly told the website, "which make her feel closer to Rob–since they are like their kids, her little brother and her mum."
The 'Twilight' actress, who hasn't been shooting any movies, has reportedly been enjoying cooking at home, with her mum Jules.
The source claimed: "It's therapeutic for her and it's always been something that bonds them together. So I wouldn't be surprised if they baked pies together. Jules is an excellent baker. And Kristen pretty amazing as well."
While it's impossible to know for sure if HollywoodLife, who will no doubt claim they're on the rocks tomorrow, knows about Kristen's cooking habits, we have to admit we like the idea of her baking pies with her mum.

4 Stocks Spiking on Big Volume
Bottomline Technologies
(EPAY - Get Report), provides cloud-based payment, invoice and banking solutions to corporations, insurance companies, financial institutions and banks worldwide. This stock closed up 2.9% at $28.49 in Wednesday's trading session.
Wednesday's Volume: 478,000
Three-Month Average Volume: 222,541
Volume % Change: 115%
From a technical perspective, EPAY jumped higher here right above some near-term support at $27.13 with above-average volume. This stock recently formed a double bottom chart pattern $27.31 to $27.13. Following that bottom, shares of EPAY have now started to trend higher off that $27.13 low and it's quickly moving within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit if EPAY manages to take out Wednesday's intraday high of $28.54 to its 50-day moving average of $29.20 with high volume.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in EPAY as long as it's trending above that recent low of $27.13 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that's near or above 222,541 shares. If that breakout gets underway soon, then EPAY will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $30.83 to $31.50, or even its 200-day moving average of $32.41 to $33.30.

The coldone is off to the Florida Keys. If you want to find the coldone look for him at Alonzo's with a bucket of raw oysters sitting in front of him. The coldone encourages all Yahoo longs to take a vacation until Yahoo's earnings call on October 15 or until Yahoo says what they will do with the $3.65 billion promised to shareholders. Time to relax, coldone style...
coldone made enough money buying Yahoo at $11 to $15 to retire.
Yahoo will go up as soon as coldone gets back.
I'm back from Vegas. I should have stayed home. Go Yahoo!
When is coldone coming back?
This place won't be the same.
Let's see now, we've had coldone aliases REMMY, BREX, TETHERED, ASHTON10, and OPENGSLIDE all check in on this thread!! How long do you think it will be before we hear from BFLATH, SAVIOR, NANOBOT, SMEDLEYPUDDLES, TRUDEAU, TERMINALLY2, PRIVATEPRIVET, and the rest of the gang?
Why are you obsessed with coldone? Is it because you can't afford a vacation?
That is a great idea! My buys in the $11s and $12s have made me very wealthy. I think I'll spend some time in London.
Yeah, London, Alabama!! ANd that's only IF the Greyhound Bus runs from your Hick town in Mississippi to London, Alabama!! Does Yahoo message boards attract these Imbeciles for some reason?
You will be missed coldone but your timing is perfect.
Official prison policy is no internet access and no cell phones. Just about all other places allow internet access. A good thing this $28 long is used to bending over! Time to relax, coldone style...
dr.gloom is a hotmodel alias. I think she's going to cry.
Good advice as always coldone.
Your Mom kicked you out of the basement, AGAIN??!!! Not to worry, they still have a bed for ya down at the Shelter!! Don't forget your jammies!!
You sound jealous of coldone. I know I am.

Hey, Good Looking: American Airlines' First 787 Revealed
How you doing? That�s what we�d like to say to American Airlines� brand new Boeing 787. It just rolled out of the hangar complete with the airline�s new livery on the new plane, and we have to say that it looks pretty darn snazzy.
Right now the only place you can check it out is over in Everett, Washington, but if all goes according to plan it�ll be in the hands of the pilots and people over at American Airlines before the end of the year.

Photos: Inside the Reopened Delta Flight Museum at Atlanta Airport
Above: the Delta DC-3
2014 has been a huge, huuuuuge year for airline anniversaries, and at the top of the list is Delta's 85th Anniversary of passenger service, which they celebrated with a reopening of their aviation museum at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
Why a re-opening? Well, as it goes with museums, sometimes exhibits need polishing and the Delta Flight Museum had originally opened back in 1995. It's so much more than spit-shining some cases, however; an entire new aircraft was waiting to be added to the permanent collection.
Now visitors can finally get up close with the Boeing 767 "Spirit of Delta," which was actually purchased by donations totaling $30 million from Delta employees. This plane almost single-handedly allowed Delta to weather the tough economic times of the early 1980s and begin modernizing their fleet. She flew for 23 years and is now half time capsule, half museum-within-in-a-museum, and completely open for visitors to tour.

Another Day, Another Wave of Airport Ebola Panic
Boy this whole Ebola outbreak thing has been a real boon for travel journalism, eh? Nary a day goes by without an airport getting locked down because some nurse has a fever, or a plane getting emptied because some idiot makes a joke about feeling sick, or a state getting quarantined because some politician was psychologically scarred by watching Outbreak on a date in the '90s. We can't remember the last time there were so many stories about airports and airplanes and travel politics. It's really just a delight.
Seriously though, the only thing less fun than having Ebola is watching global commercial aviation try to scramble to deal with Ebola. People are not always very bright.

These Special Airplanes Offer Halloween Costume Inspiration Straight Off the Tarmac
Just one more day until the little (and not so little) ghosts and goblins come out to play for Halloween and, if you haven't gotten your costume ready to roll this year, you'd better get on it.
Obviously it takes a little more than a trip to Target and some wacky makeup to dress up an airplane, so special airplane paint jobs tooling around tarmacs really make a big splash at this time of the year:

Virgin Atlantic's 30th Birthday Brings the Boeing 787-9 to Boston
This isn't just any Tuesday. Today Virgin Atlantic becomes the 25th airline to fly a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, as they inaugurate their new arrival with flights between London-Heathrow and Boston-Logan.
This isn't just any 787, either. Virgin Atlantic is the first European airline to welcome the longer, cooler 787-9 to their fleet, and they do so on their own 30th birthday as an airline, hence the aircraft's name, "Birthday Girl" G-VNEW.
Inside are 198 Economy, 35 Premium Economy, and 31 Upper Class seats, plus a new "Wander Wall" concept in Premium Economy. This is essentially a snack-and-chat station, since the bar is reserved for Upper Class only. Speaking of that barit's been redesigned to fit within the 787-9, but you'll still be able to pop on a barstool and order a Virgin Redhead somewhere 38,000' above the Atlantic Ocean. Instagram it instantly, thanks to long-haul in-flight WiFi onboard.

Why 'Windowless Plane' Technology is Actually a Horrible Idea
"It's too bright! Close the window, please." - your annoying seatmate
Despite recent reports that "windowless planes" are the wave of the future, air travelers have a love-hate relationship with airplane windows and turning the whole fuselage into a portal to view the sky around you just will not fly (pardon the pun).
You can thank British firm CPI (Centre for Progress Innovation) for the concept and, while it's a fun daydream, there is no way a plane with screens in place of windows will be happening in our lifetime. Here's why:
Travel Tech / Windowless Airplanes / Airplanes / → All Tags
Airplanes of the Future Could Be Built Without Windows
A few early-stage concepts for what the future of airplane design might look like within the next decade has been making the rounds through the media recently. Three companies in particular, Paris-based Technicon Design, England's Centre for Process Innovation (CPI), and Boston's Spike Aerospace, have emerged at the forefront of the research, and they clearly agree on one thing: Airplanes of the future won't have windows.
You can click on the company links above for more specific details on their individual projects, but the bottom line is that removing windows from fuselages will (eventually) be cheaper and more environmentally friendly due to reduced weight. According to CPI, airplanes without windows are lighter than airplanes with windows, and "for every 1% reduction in weight, the approximate fuel saving is 0.75%. If you save weight, you save fuel. And less fuel means less CO2 emissions into the atmosphere and lower operational cost."

Delta Begins the Long Farewell Countdown for Their 747s
The Boeing 747 is known as the Queen of the Skies, but even royalty sometimes needs to step aside for the next generation. Just this year we saw United ditch their jumbos between San Francisco and Sydney, Air New Zealand took the planes out of their fleet, and over at ANA they�re not using the big birds any more as well. Next to retire the planes is Delta, but you will have a few years of farewell before the head to the big hangar in the sky.
Right now the carrier has around 16 of the planes kicking around, as most of them were acquired back with Delta shacked up with Northwest Airlines. Apparently the planes ain�t what they used to be�too big, not fuel efficient, etc.�and it looks like Delta will be taking them out of commission as soon as 2017.

Travel Contest Alert: Win Tickets on a KLM Final Flight
When we talk about exciting, historical flights we typically talk about inaugurals. First flights are celebrated for a reason; they are a promise of travel to come and often a demonstration of the growth of a community or the prowess of new technology. Why, then, shouldn't we also celebrate the end of a service, after an airplane has delivered on its promise?
KLM agrees, and they're now holding a contest for one lucky AvGeek to join the final flight of their MD-11 on November 11.
KLM has been flying the three-holers since 1993, and will retire them from the fleet next month.

A Review of United's BYO-Device Entertainment, Still in Beta Testing
Just about a year ago, Virgin Australia launched their cool new wireless BYO-device entertainment system. It was thought that this would be the wave of the future, as more travelers armed themselves with iPads.
Now we're excited to announce United has begun testing a similar system on this side of the Pacific. On a recent flight from Chicago to Fort Lauderdale, we were lucky to score a plane equipped with beta-test of this technology.
As a regular passenger, we received an email from United two days before departure, with the info that we'd be on a plane with this system. The email was similar to their webpage explanation, and it detailed how we could trial the entertainment choices by streaming them to our own iPad, iPhone, or laptop. By simply downloading the free application from the Apple App store, we would be able to enjoy hours of movies and television shows from gate to gate.

Six Islands in a Single-Engine, Part 4: A History Lesson Before Turning Homeward
It's the stuff of headlines, when a pilot ventures away from familiar runways to embark on an epic aviation adventure in a single-engine aircraft, and it's exactly what Jaunted contributor Joe Corrigan is doing. Follow along over the next several days, as Joe shares trials, triumphs, and terrific images from flying to remote corners of the South Pacific.
Island Hopping in a Single-Engine, The Series:
1. Flight Planning2. The Point of No Return
3. On Island Time
4. Home Again, Jiggety-Jig
The islands and miles stacked up in our rearview as we left Vanuatu, with a flight plan that took us north to the Solomon Islands, initially to Guadalcanal and Honiara and then onto the New Georgia group.
The longest single flight of our trip so far would be five hours between Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu and Honiara, Solomon Islands, but the winds were on our side and, soon enough, emerald green mountains surrounded by white sandy beaches and coral reefs welcomed us to yet another island destination: Guadalcanal.
We descended through the foothills of the mountains to reach the northern shore and landed at Henderson Field, the second World War II-historic air field of our trip (the first being Santo).

Island Hopping in a Single-Engine, The Series:

4. Home Again, Jiggety-Jig
After arriving late at night into Noumea, New Caledonia following several days of flying, it was time to rest. The setting for this respite would be Ille Des Pins, a coral cay about 80 miles to the southeast of Noumea. As idyllic as it sounds, we had quite a large challenge to overcome when it came to actually flying there, one we had not imagined we would encounter and for which we had not prepared.
You see, the air traffic tower there speaks only Frenchview the landing plate to see what we mean. Luckily enough, I was able to scrape enough schoolboy-level French from the back of my mind (combined with some words remembered from cabin announcements on Air France, like piste equating to "runway").
By no means was our conversation with ATC smooth, but we were able to communicate well enough, whilst understanding both the tower and other aircraft on frequency. After the stress of getting the plane on the ground, we couldn't have appreciated the calm paradise of Ille des Pins more.

You Think You Know Brantley Gilbert?
Brantley Gilbert is one of the most interesting and mysterious men in country music.

VERGENNES — At the Aug. 23 Vergennes City Council meeting, Vergennes officials told two of the several Crosby Farms homeowners whose basements were flooded in April and May that nothing could be done until the insurance liability for the events could be worked out.
Homeowners Jeffrey and Carrie Tarte, who attended the meeting, and City Manager Mel Hawley told the council they have talked regularly about the incidents.

PANTON — What should be the last public step in adopting Panton's new town plan comes on Thursday, when the Addison County Regional Planning Commission will hold its required hearing on the document at Panton Town Hall. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m.
The proposed plan has already successfully navigated planning commission and selectboard hearings, and the selectboard adopted the plan earlier this summer.
VERGENNES — City Manager Mel Hawley last week gave aldermen a rosy update on the first full year of city ownership of the Vergennes pool.
At Aug. 23 meeting of the Vergennes City Council, he said he had checked numbers quickly and come up with a pool fund balance of about $6,500.
MIDDLEBURY — This fall at Middlebury College's Alumni Stadium, three Panther football assistant coaches will be applying lessons they say they learned a little bit to the east at Middlebury Union High School's Doc Collins Field, home of the football Tigers.
Panther Head Football Coach Bob Ritter has six paid assistants. When 2002 MUHS graduate Shem Johnston-Bloom signed on this summer as Ritter's recruiting coordinator and linebackers coach, that meant half of those aides are former MUHS football standouts.
VERGENNES — Few, if any, employees of Vergennes Union High School other than Nate Kittredge have ever earned the nickname "The Animal."
But no one who has seen Kittredge, the VUHS wrestling coach and for the past three years the school's prevention coordinator, in any of his dozen professional Mixed Martial Arts bouts would debate whether he deserves his billing.
FERRISBURGH — After months of talks, Ferrisburgh selectmen and a corporation with a Montpelier mailing address have struck a deal for the sale of the town's 34.9-acre parcel at the junction of Routes 7 and 22A.
The purchase-and-sale contract between Ferrisburgh and Eastern Development Corp., signed Aug. 1, is for the full price for which the property was listed in September 2010, $375,000, and the buyer paid a $15,000 deposit to take the land off the market.
VERGENNES — There are few truly new elements in for the 30th annual Vergennes Day, which this year falls on Saturday, Aug. 25.
But when an annual event works well enough to still draw thousands to Vergennes after three decades, organizers believe it's not a bad idea to rely on its tried-and-true formula — kid-friendly attractions, a road race, the Lions' Club chicken barbecue, music, horse-drawn wagon rides, car shows and, of course, the Rotary Club's Rubber Duckie Race.
NEW HAVEN — A big increase in the number of youth participants and a number of upsets in the adult ranks stood out this past Friday night at the Addison County Fair and Field Days armwrestling competition.
The 158 kids 16 and younger who showed up for the youth portion of the evening meant an increase of 31 from 2010.
They dueled in 16 age and gender categories, and according to organizer Karen Brisson delighted the usual big crowd in the main Field Days show tent.
Our dog days of August — and June and July — have come to an end.
We have been caring for two extra dogs this summer, on behalf of Mark and Ericka, my wife's brother and his bride. They have been living in Germany with the dogs, and are returning stateside for Ericka's new job this month. Because airlines do not fly animals in the heat of the summer, their companions needed an advance flight and a summer home over here.
The venerable sport of football ... OK, I'll cave in and call it soccer, if for nothing else than the sake of clarity ... has generated a lot of buzz this summer, even in this nation, where football means helmets, pads and concussions, not shin guards, shorts and dramatic embellishments of minor infractions.

The Environmental Protection Agency sent a proposed rule to the White House for review Dec. 15 that would establish a third-party verification system for renewable fuel credits.
The proposed rule comes after 30 companies reached a settlement with EPA in April in which they agreed to pay approximately $3.65 million in penalties after they purchased fraudulent renewable identification numbers (RINs), serial numbers that are assigned to batches of renewable fuel generated to satisfy the renewable fuel standard. The renewable identification numbers can also be traded as credits.
After reaching that settlement, EPA said it intended to propose a verification system to prevent fraudulent RINs from entering the marketplace. The agency said the rule would include a system allowing third parties to audit and verify the validity of the RINs being sold.
"One of the things we want is clarity," Ben Evans, a spokesman for the National Biodiesel Board, told BNA Dec. 17. "We want a good outline of what due diligence is, so the parties can comply."
In October, EPA issued a draft quality assurance plan that set ongoing and quarterly monitoring requirements for renewable fuel producers (212 DER A-16, 11/2/12).
The petroleum industry had pressed EPA to finalize its verification rule before the start of the 2013 compliance year, but the agency said the draft quality assurance plan will allow renewable fuel producers to verify the validity of their renewable identification numbers until the rule can be finalized.
The draft plan would require ongoing monitoring of feedstocks, production processes, and the number of gallons of renewable fuel being produced. Additionally, the draft plan would require quarterly monitoring of work force size, certificates of analysis verifying fuel types, and process quality controls.
EPA's inspector general has begun its own investigation into whether EPA has an effective system for managing renewable identification numbers (227 DER A-12, 11/27/12).
In a related case, the Justice Department reported Dec. 14 that a Texas man pleaded guilty to charges of wire fraud, money laundering, and making false statements in violation of the Clean Air Act after falsely representing that he was in the business of producing biodiesel fuel (seerelated story in this issue).
EPA's draft quality assurance plan issued in October is available at http://www.epa.gov/otaq/fuels/renewablefuels/documents/420b12063.pdf.
