1933 Ford Roadster - Dedication
Written by on June 1, 2010 Bob Rosenthal's '33 Ford RoadsterMost folks who read this magazine are nuts for cars. With varying degrees, their lives encompass a certain automobile parked in their garage and, if they're lucky, more than one car in that garage.
You don't find too many folks who have devoted their whole lives to cars, but such is the case when referring to Bob Rosenthal. At 82 years old, Bob has seen it all, from when his father owned a car dealership back in the '20s, to when he worked as a service writer and parts man, to owning and running dozens of dealerships in the past few decades (he currently owns 15 dealerships in and around the Washington D.C. area where he lives).
With this devotion in mind, one could probably understand the pain that was inflicted on Bob when a fire broke out at one of his Jaguar dealerships and five new cars burned up. Some of the cars were damaged more than others, and he was able to salvage the drivetrain from a Jaguar S-Type R (with a 4.2L V-8 and a factory supercharger), and he began looking for something to put it in.
His original thought was to maybe install the engine and trans in an XK, but he really liked the look of an SS-100, with the big headlights out front and foglights below. Not finding a suitable candidate, Bob turned to California-based automotive illustrator Steve Stanford with whom he'd worked with before. The idea they came up with was to start with a 1933 Ford roadster (which would be of the proper era) and build it with a prewar Jaguar look to it and use the parts from his burned-out car as a base. Stanford incorporated certain design elements found on the Jags (integrated foglamps, burl wood interior, stainless mesh grille insert, wire wheels) and expertly blended them to a '33 Ford roadster.
Bob then turned to Chuck Lombardo's California Street Rods (CSR) in Huntington Beach, California, for the build because they had previously built a '36 Ford roadster for Bob and he liked how it had turned out.
CSR has been building cars so long they could probably build your basic roadster blindfolded. Cars that have come out of their shop over the years have won the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award and collected countless other prizes. But, as anyone who has been around new factory cars knows (those built in the last couple of years), the electronics involved to make everything work together is just getting more and more complicated. It seems if you disconnect the lighter or a dash bulb you can't start the car, so fitting all of this new technology into a hot rod took some doing, and CSR was not only up for the challenge, the spectacular results speak for itself.
Bob's dedication paid off last year when the car was finished and made its debut at the Grand National Roadster Show where it was a contender for the AMBR award. As you might imagine, a car-crazy guy like Bob already has an impressive assortment of cars (including at least a dozen '30s-era Ford, Packard, and Plymouth woodies), but his Emerald Green roadster is the latest jewel in the collection.

To avoid a sweep at Citizens Bank Park, the Nats will need to beat Roy Halladay.
PHILADELPHIA — We've discussed here before the idea of the "reverse lock," the match-up that looks so lopsided toward one side that it practically ensures the opposite side will triumph. Think Levale Speigner vs. Johan Santana.
Well, tonight's match-up at Citizens Bank Park is so lopsided, it appears to even defy the reverse lock theory. Roy Halladay (4-0, 0.84 ERA in four starts vs. Nats last two years) vs. John Lannan (0-9, 5.80 ERA in 12 career starts vs. Phillies). In Philadelphia, where the Nationals have lost six straight and 29 of 38. With a lineup missing Ryan Zimmerman and perhaps others due to injury. (Neither Michael Morse nor Rick Ankiel is starting, we'll find out soon why.)
But they do play these games for a reason, and stranger things have happened. Probably. OK, maybe not.
Updates to come…

Why isn't Riggleman, the lefty/righty matchup king, breaking up Nix and LaRoche's bats? Why not have Ramos 5th behind Nix over the struggling LaRoche?

All you need to know about the Nats feeble lineup is that Cora and Hairston have become regulars.

Didn't we have a game that was 2 hours and 2 minutes the other night – the shortest game in mlb this season? Who wants to lay odds that this one beats it? Maybe Doc will pitch with one hand tied behind his back? Maybe he will pitch with the opposite hand? I say let's get it over with and go on to – oh, wait – it's Florida isn't it? Never mind.

The one saving element in this road trip is that Josh Johnson is pitching today for the Fish. We miss getting him thrown at us, at least.

Let's please remember it's a 162-game season. And (nearly) everyone gets 50 wins and 50 losses. We will have some set of future Brewers and Giants match-ups to enjoy before the leaves fall from the trees.Let's hope the reverse lock shows up (C. Lee would have been a better choice, alas).

Interesting trivia. Since Halladay came to Philly, Lannan has faced the Phillies 5 times. 4 of those times, he's faced Halladay. Talk about drawing the short stick.

Hey no need for us to erect a statue to Werth; he's a living statue at the plate right now.I wish he would stop looking for walks and swing the darn bat.C'mon Nats, get those bats moving, even on this tough night.
- Les in NC - May 5, 2011 at 11:21 PM
I vote Cora bats second for the rest of the time Zimmerman is out! (Unless he demonstrates that he can't play a lick of defense at third, of course!)Thanks Alex for not letting us get no hit tonight!
- dj in Fl. - May 5, 2011 at 11:42 PM
Phillies announcers said they heard rumblings about Nats fans upset over Werth looking at third strikes. They said we will get used to it, it is part of his m.o.I can not believe Gary is retiring already. It has only been 22 years, though he did make it clear that working under Yow made 15 years feel like a lifetime. The feud continues!
- JaneB - May 5, 2011 at 11:52 PM
I'm voting Cora bats lead off. For as long as we have him, anyway.For the moaners, just think back to two seasons ago, where we'd only won about two and half games by now. Things are better! They just are.Go Nats!
- Les in NC - May 5, 2011 at 11:54 PM
Now that we're through the lineup once, and everyone has seen a first pitch fastball for a strike, can we have someone actually try to HIT that ball the next time up? (Instead of watching it sail gracefully by?)Just a thought…
- WilliamTells - May 5, 2011 at 11:57 PM
Well, that was fun while it lasted. 2-0 Phils. Two runs too many for the Nats to score against Halladay. G'Night, all.

John "Batting Practice" Lannan makes his return to the roster. All the old memories return. And the circle is complete – it is 2009 again.
- BinM - May 6, 2011 at 12:07 AM
To follow up on my 7:03 comment – Unfortunately, it was not to be. The Phillies are apparently still inside Lannan's head & are able to light him up at will.
- Nataholic - May 6, 2011 at 12:10 AM
I've been pretty happy with Riggleman and this team so far and can't understand all this doom and gloom. And the Trolls need to go to the WaPo or something. Let's look at reality, the Nats best player is out and their line-up is pretty anemic even when he is in there. (Dunn's bat is sorely missed.) I know that statistically Batting protection cannot be proven but I think it matters psychologically to these players. I believe a big bat to anchor this lineup would probably help everyone else relax a bit up there and at least approach some sort of replacement level ability with the lumber. But I can't really gripe; they play hard and win some. And they might flirt with .500 for more of this season. The vets are also better than I thought they would be. Ankiel and Nix in particular. Ankiel for his overall game, which is not as bad as Nyjer's was last season. I mean ideally Ankiel is your 4th outfielder but I think the Nats brain trust already knows that. And Nix so far has surprised. He might be a better solution in LF than MM. Anyway, when I look at this team, I wouldn't say they are overachieving, but I would say that they are playing at the level they should. As for the Frillies, they are just a better team. Tip your cap to them. If the Nats steal a game that's great, but I'm not the miracle expecting type. I'm more interested in how they match up with the Fish and the Mets to see improvement….
- jd - May 6, 2011 at 12:12 AM
that was not fun at all.

I know we're mostly adults here, and I let some obscenities slide by. But your usages have been particularly egregious, and I'm sure most everyone around here would appreciate if you didn't do it. Thanks for understanding.

what an at bat by Hairston.
- dj in Fl. - May 6, 2011 at 12:30 AM
Mark-I think Lannan might actually become a better pitcher over all if he knew he would never have to face these guys again. I sort of ignored the info that the Phillies had their best April ever. Guess they really are pretty good.Nataholic well said.
- Les in NC - May 6, 2011 at 12:35 AM
I'm just pleased that everyone that came to the plate in the top of the fourth actually swung at that first pitch fastball!!…And we scored 2 runs….coincidence?
- TimDz - May 6, 2011 at 12:36 AM
At least we no longer have to hear about that inane 5 inning thing…Nice to see them get a couple of runs back…BTW…thanks for the ride Gary
- Anonymous8 - May 6, 2011 at 12:40 AM
Nice to hit Halladay. I don't think Ramos knows who some of the pitchers are because he gets in the box and battles. Nice RBI hit!Then Hairston battles to pitch 13.

Honestly had no idea I'd have to censor myself on a blog about baseball. But it's your site, so I'll try to tone it down. Just a question though. What is and is not acceptable language? Can I say Riggleman manages like an *ss? Jason Werth can't get a hit for s**t? Is it just the hard F or is it anything?
- Anonymous - May 6, 2011 at 1:06 AM
Well, it's now a 5 run lead, and with their anemic situational hitting, the Nats might as well be behind by 15 runs. I'm starting to doze off. Maybe it's just Bobby Carpenter's voice. Or maybe it's FP. Or maybe it's both of them. Good night, all.
- Mark Zuckerman - May 6, 2011 at 1:12 AM
Grandstander: I don't feel like I need to set any hard and fast rules, or come up with a George Carlin-style "7 Words You Can't Type on Nats Insider." Just use your best judgment. I guess the best guideline would be to try to keep to to PG-13 language, not R.Thanks, I appreciate it.

Nyjer Morgan tonight, 1 error and 1 caught stealing. Glad to see he is getting in mid-season form.
- jmacss - May 6, 2011 at 1:23 AM
When can the John Lannan experiment end? Why won't they just cut ties with this guy and bring up Detwiler, or anyone else? This guy is not a Major League pitcher. He would not start on any other team. I'm willing to bet that when he throws the ball, it makes the same "thud" sound as when you put a ball through a JUGS machine. Dude is not good.
- Sec 3, My Sofa - May 6, 2011 at 1:32 AM
Dude, just quit it.
- Les in NC - May 6, 2011 at 1:39 AM
Please stop the bring up Detwiler to the Nats starting rotation campaign. His numbers at Syracuse are not stellar, and he probably needs to be a reliever if he is anything at the major league level. If someone needs to be replaced it should be Maya that does the replacing, IMO.
- Anonymous8 - May 6, 2011 at 1:52 AM
Les, I am with you. How long before Rizzo figures that out. That Syracuse team is horrible outside of Bernadina, Maya, Detwiler, Kimball and Balester. Team batting average is .217
- TimDz - May 6, 2011 at 1:55 AM
Regarding Maya/Detwiler…What are the respective records, ERA 's etc?
- jmacss - May 6, 2011 at 2:06 AM
Well Les, I did leave that statement open to "anyone else". Bring up Maya, go sign Simon Birch. I don't care. I just really loathe watching Lannan pitch.

Feeble. Anemic. Ineffectual. Now come the encomiums about the superiority of Phillies pitching. Our TV guys even said their bullpen was awesome. It's the same pattern: who.ever.pitches.against.Washington.is.Cy.Young.Two stupid, needless points on our latest lost cause:1. The Nationals need to be quiet next year, from spring training forward. All their verbal hype means nothing (see Redskins, Wizards, Caps, Georgetown, Maryland).2. The Phillies will dominate us for the next decade. They have a superior organization, ownership, management, scouting, and player development. We are hype, they are real. Get very, very used to it.

- Manassas Nats Fan - May 6, 2011 at 2:51 AM
The Pitching this round of the rotation is lowering itself to the hitter's standards. Last rotation great 3/5 though this one not so good.My complaint of the series is with the advance scout for the Nats.Coming into this series in the last 10 games Ibanez goes 0 for 34. In these three games he goes 8 for 12. What did the advance scout tell McCatty and Riggleman Ibonez was getting out with. Id he told them, and the pitchers just didn't pitch there that is one thing, but I am guessing the pitchers couldn't have screwed up that much.Or am I barking up the wrong tree, and they don't send advance scouts out with as many games that are on TV (I am watching Colorado and Arizona as I type) that they do not send scouts any longer.Well since we messed up these three games, we need to sweep the marlins to get back to even.
- Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_For_Me - May 6, 2011 at 3:03 AM
@Manassas: The advance scout told them they were getting Ibanez out … with other teams' pitchers.

Another Nats-Phillies series to forget…the optimist in me saw some better swings from LaRoche and Espy the last two days, though. We miss Josh Johnson in Florida this time around – will that be enough?
- Drew8 - May 6, 2011 at 3:33 AM
Hey Mark:Thanks for the comeuppance to that guy who demonstrates the cleverness of a 13-year-old.Here's tonight's silver lining, folks. Harper hit his 7th homer. In 25 games he has 19 runs scored, 23 RBIs, 5 steals and a tidy .357 average.In the words of that famed scout, Bruce Springsteen:"At the end of every hard-earned daypeople find some reason to believe."
- Doc - May 6, 2011 at 3:49 AM
Detweiler must be going through a rough spell–Stammen is ahead of him on the Syracuse 'depth chart'!
- FS - May 6, 2011 at 4:16 AM
That one statistic which is being thrown around a lot lately (BABIP), is .409 for Detwiler this season in AAA. Mean anything?Terrible terrible performance all around in this series. Nothing worked, pitchers could not live up to their expectations, hitters continued struggling, defense was not the bright spot either. More than manager or hitting coach, I think these failures are a mental thing. To be honest, I just feel this team has potential to be better than it was in this series.

Santiago de Chile is a modern city
A walking mound of intelligence, creativity, sexual superiority, and brawn. Usually, many are intimidated by his facile technique and his shear presence can be felt miles far from where he may be located. For those that don't know.. One should watch their actions and words. A Santiago may become irritable to those who have a labeled status of fool, ignorant bean, or cur. If you are not careful he may beat the shit out of you, shut you up, or take your woman. Most likely things will result in a combination of two or all three at once. And even though his aura is pretty much strong enough to pop your hot sister's tits, he is slow to anger, quick to tell a joke, and quicker to smash some good cooch. A great friend and funny person, Santiago's are amazing to be around.
"Dad? I love you and all but.. I want to grow up to be Santiago."
"Madam. The nurse and i had to saw off our hands after handling the baby. He is truly Santiago."
"Madam. The nurse and i had to saw off our hands after handling the baby. He is truly Santiago."

Welcome to the CCB
The Centre for Chromosome Biology (CCB) at NUI Galway in Ireland hosts an interactive network of researchers investigating topics linked to the biology of genomes.
We are interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying chromosome replication, segregation, repair, evolution, chromatin regulation and transcription. These processes are fundamental to our growing understanding of genetics and epigenetics, and have important implications for cancer and disease.
The Centre currently comprises 11 groups with over 90 researchers and support staff. We have a range of technologies available for studying chromosome biology at the molecular, cellular and organismal level.

Summer Dreamin' Aboard the Wakesetter Series
By Capt. Ron Svoboda
On an Indian summer day in California, we recently had the opportunity to test one of the hottest wake sport tow rigs in the country. Malibu's Wakesetter is the choice of professional wake athletes and the pull boat at many of the venues that these riders compete in. So what's all the hype? For starters, Malibu focuses on producing boats that are designed specifically for the sport. They do not compromise when it comes to the pursuit of fabricating the best wakes to launch riders off of. In addition, Malibu will let you customize this boat with exactly what you need, whether you're on a budget or not.
One Boat, Two Tough Decisions
Two main versions of the Wakesetter are available; the VLX and the XTi. The VLX is a V-drive layout with engine and transmission at the stern of the boat. The goal here is to maximize the space of the cockpit and shift the weight balance of the boat to the rear. On the other hand the XTi has her motor about midships, balancing the weight to center and maximizing seating potential. Both models come standard with Malibu's "illusion X" tower and a plethora of cool options.
The XTi's center mounted engine makes for better handling and an aft seating zone that features a removable table and wraparound seating for up to four adults. There is also a rear stereo entertainment console and a built in beverage cooler, delivering full control of your music and refreshments without having to get up. The centerline engine also affords a deep storage compartment to starboard, making it the ideal place for big or bulky items.
In contrast, the cockpit of the VLX offers an open layout with long and spacious U-shaped seating with concealed storage compartments under the cushions. A baker's dozen of drink holders and numerous stereo speakers keep everyone happy on board. At the transom, a full width sun pad tops the engine box and supplies added storage below. The VLX also happens to be the choice of title holders and the official, World Wakeboard Championship tow rig.
Wake Shaping Expert
Both versions are a nimble 21 feet 6 inches overall and 8 feet, 2 inches wide and come with a spacious bow area up front for tanning and lounging. Here you'll also find contoured grab handles, four drinkholders and a pair of stereo speakers. The boats are based on the V25 wake hull, and can be combined with the Launch System (front, center and aft ballast tanks) and Power Wedge mechanism that will change the wake size and shape at the push of a button.
The helms on both boats are also the same, with innovative digital accessory power switches and a shift-by-wire throttle. Best of all, Malibu's Ballast Monitoring System and Precision Pro Speed Control gives the driver ultimate control of all the ballast on board and exact speed settings. The unique feature here is that personalized settings for speed and ballast can be stored in the systems' memory, guaranteeing that every pass is maximized and tailored to each boarder. Another great feature is the removable engine tray located above the motors that lets you store wet ski vests in them and warm them up between runs.
So if you're pondering the purchase of a new wake maker or preparing for your next championship title the Wakesetter by Malibu will take your shredding to a whole new level.

Rating: 2.00 out of 1 votes cast
cute but....
There are really cute shoes and would be easy to walk in if they would stay on your feet. There is about a 1 inch hidden platform. I usually wear 7.5-8 but I had to order 8.5. The perforated part is too loose at the top of your foot so you tend to walk right out of them. They are so baggy they look like they're on the wrong feet. No need for a zipper! I tried to put a ribbon thru the perforated part and tried to make them tighter but they are so cheap they rip. I am out $120 + shipping for 2 pair! The royal blue is a great color and matches with the lapis blue cord blazer perfectly, if you like to be matchy. If you have wide feet these shoes may work for you, however the shoe bed is too short, even at an 8.5 for me. No way I could go to a 9. If you can buy a larger size and have wide feet then I might recommend for you. Shame, they are cute!

Thursday - 2/7/2013, 7:50am EST
Associated Press
ACAPULCO, Mexico (AP) -- The tourism world turned its eyes on Mexico after six Spanish women were raped by masked gunmen during a vacation in the long-troubled Pacific coast resort of Acapulco.
While there has been talk of reviving the golden era of the '40s and '50s, international tourists have long steered away from Acapulco, even before the drug violence of recent years, as the city fell into disrepair and glitzier Cancun and Los Cabos gained favor.
The question now is whether the attack will affect other resorts as Mexico prepares for its annual spring break onslaught and peak season.
The hours-long assault was carried out by a gang of masked gunmen who burst into the beachfront home before dawn on Monday and tied up the six men inside, then raped the women. A seventh Mexican woman was unharmed.
"We are really sorry about what happened with the Spanish tourists because ... it is something that affects Mexico's image," said Juan Carlos Gonzalez, tourism secretary of Quintana Roo, the Caribbean coast state where Cancun is located and which hosted about 17 million tourists last year.
But, he added, "we are definitely not as contaminated with the crime issue as other states in Mexico."
Acapulco barely registers on U.S. tourists' radar anymore, said Kathy Gerhardt, a spokeswoman for Travel Leaders, a network of independently owned and operated travel agencies in the U.S.
"Those individuals trying to lump Acapulco into the list of top Mexico destinations for U.S. travelers are simply misinformed," she said.
In a recent survey of over 1,000 travel agency owners, managers and agents, "not a single individual chose Acapulco as a top international destination they are booking for their clients," Gerhardt said.
"We do not see any spillover effect," she added, for areas like Cancun, which Travel Leaders lists as the No. 2 foreign destination for U.S. travelers, after Caribbean island cruises.
From a 2009 shootout that killed 18 near Acapulco's fabled Flamingo Hotel to this week's attack, the resort once celebrated in Frank Sinatra songs and Elvis Presley movies has been the scene of body dumpings, beheadings and taxi-driver killings as gangs vie for drug transport routes once controlled by the now-decimated Beltran Leyva cartel.
Oceania and Regent Seven Seas Cruises -- some of the last lines making port calls in Acapulco -- canceled those in December, before the latest attack.
An estimated 50,000 Spaniards travel to Mexico each year, but mostly to the Caribbean coast, not Acapulco. Mexicans and Spaniards living in Mexico like the victims, however, flock to Acapulco during Easter week and other long holiday weekends, such as Monday, when the country celebrated its Constitution Day.
Local tourists believe they can distinguish unsafe areas of the city, and even foreign travel warnings say it's safe for those who don't wander far from the beach.
"For us, this is an incredibly safe zone," said Rafael Gallego Nadal, president of the Spanish Confederation of Travel Agencies. "This was a terrible attack, but it's not the first time that something bad has happened in that part of Mexico."
He said there has been no talk of travel agencies reducing package tour prices.
Some press reports Wednesday suggested a drug purchase could have played a role in Monday's rapes, but Marcos Juarez, the chief investigator for Guerrero state prosecutors, said there was no evidence of that.
Still, the attack exposed a dangerous security situation in areas that had been considered safe, such as the laid-back stretch of beach dotted with restaurants, small hotels and homes southeast of the city's center, where the Spaniards had rented a villa.
The five attackers held the group at gunpoint, tying up the six men with phone cords and bathing suit straps, then raping the six women over a three-hour period, authorities said.
The manager of a hotel near the house said he heard shouting just after midnight Monday, but did nothing because he felt it would be too dangerous. The man did not want to give his name for safety reasons.
It was unclear whether the victims had been targeted because of their nationality.
Guerrero state Attorney General Martha Garzon told local media that the attackers' motive was robbery and that they drank mescal they found at the house. The Mexican woman, who is married to one of the Spaniards, "was saved by the fact that she is Mexican," Garzon said.
"She says she identified herself to the (attackers) and asked not to be raped, and they told her that she had passed the test by being Mexican and they didn't touch her," Garzon told Radio Formula.

Vt. Legislature taking up bills all over the spectrumVermont Press Bureau | January 14,2013Forget about broad-based taxes, death with dignity, marijuana decriminalization and prohibitions on mountaintop wind: The first House bill of the new biennium aims to simplify judicial bookkeeping.
In a sure sign that the new session was upon us, legislative staff last week began unveiling the texts of bills as they became ready for introduction.
H.1 is a gripping bit of statute that would repeal a provision requiring superior court clerks to keep a book of judgments separate from the originals.
Like most of the 1,000 or so bills introduced in a given biennium, H.1 wont generate much talk outside the committee to which its assigned. But in addition to the mundane work of legal bookkeeping, lawmakers will consider scores of bills this year that could have a real impact on the lives of the Vermonters they represent.
Take H.6, introduced by Rep. Paul Poirier, the Barre City independent who late last month dropped his insurgent candidacy for Speaker of the House. Poiriers legislation would add mental injury to the list of job-related afflictions for which employees are entitled to workers compensation.
In the Senates first piece of new legislation, Sen. Tim Ashe, a Chittenden County Democrat/Progressive, wants to require judges to consider the approximate financial cost of a sentence before handing down a ruling.
It wont be the first go-round in Montpelier for many of the bills under consideration in 2013.
Already on the calendar in the Senate is a bill relating to concussions in youth sports. Lawmakers failed to reach consensus on a proposal last year. S.4, introduced by Ashe, Sen. Dick Sears and Senate President John Campbell, would, among other things, prohibit a coach from letting a child re-enter a game after suffering a concussion.
Sen. Robert Hartwell, a Bennington Democrat and vocal critic of the Public Service Board, promises to spark a lively debate with his first piece of legislation of the biennium. Hartwell, an opponent of ridgeline wind development and wireless smart meters, wants to give the Senate more influence over the composition of the three-person panel responsible for regulating those technologies.
Hartwells S.16 would require the governors appointments to the Public Service Board to first win consent from the Senate.
The first of what should be a spate of campaign-finance reform bills hit the Senate calendar Thursday. Introduced by Ashe, S.17 aims to improve an elections database that currently makes it difficult and time-consuming to figure out who gave what to whom.
The legislation would require candidates for office to submit their lists of campaign contributions and expenditures in electronic form, and stipulates that the secretary of state must maintain those submissions in a searchable online database.
Another Senate bill responds to privacy concerns raised by the growing use of automated license plate recognition systems by law enforcement.
The Vermont chapter of the ACLU sounded the alarm last year about the ways in which this technology can be used to track the movements of residents against whom police hold no evidence of wrongdoing.
The bill, S.18, calls for study to establish limitations on the use, dissemination and retention of information gained through the license detection systems.
Sen. Dick Sears has a bill that would increase the statute of limitations for a number of crimes, including sexual offenses against a minor.
For the crimes of sexual assault on a minor, lewd and lascivious conduct and sexual exploitation of a minor, Sears proposed legislation would allow prosecutors to file charges anytime before the alleged victim turns 40. Under current law, the window to file charges closes when the victim turns 25.
Sears bill removes the statute of limitations altogether for sexual assault, human trafficking, murder, arson causing death and kidnapping.
Over in the House, a wide-ranging land-use proposal that generated some headlines before the opening of the session has been introduced in bill form. Rep Tony Klein says H.9 would serve as companion legislation to Act 250, establishing a statewide planning process separate from the regulatory framework.
The bill would direct the Natural Resources Board to prepare a statewide plan, replete with maps delineating lands suitable for energy projects, housing or commercial activity.
Klein says deciding in advance what types of development belong where will streamline the regulatory process for developers while giving residents more say over development in their communities.
Rep. Ann Mook has introduced legislation that would require health insurers to pay for hearing aids; her bill also would require the Green Mountain Care Board to consider including hearing aids in any single-payer benefits plan Vermont adopts in the future.
Reps. Ann Donahue and Patty Lewis, Republicans from Northfield and Berlin, respectively, want to exempt from state income taxes the first $5,000 of military retirement pay. The legislation would benefit only residents making less than $50,000 per year.
n n n
The lone Republican elected to statewide office in November took his oath of office in the Senate last Thursday. Lt. Gov. Phil Scott, the Barre-born race car driver now in his second term, lamented a brain drain that has, according to the U.S. Census, seen the population of people ages 25-44 in Vermont shrink by 30 percent over the past decade.
Thats 28,000 Vermonters who left our state and took with them their buying power, their innovation and their children, Scott said. Many of our classrooms echo with their absence.
Scott said the loss of people in their prime earning years contributed to a fiscal erosion that saw state revenues suffer year-over-year declines between 2008 and 2011.
We can reduce expenses by cutting staff and programs, and we can increase revenues by raising taxes and fees, Scott said. And for better or worse, weve already done a lot of both.
But like the states Democratic governor, Scott said, he believes Vermonters are tapped out and taxed out.
Scott said Vermont needs to grow its way out of the problem, thereby solving both sides of the balance sheet at the same time.
He offered no specific plans for sparking the number of jobs or the wages they pay.
If we can work with businesses both small and large, progress and prosperity will come, he said. If we can entice young professionals to move here, our classrooms will fill up again and so will our vacant storefronts and government coffers.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER The state of Vermont is banning outside burning of brush to reduce the threat of...

I was first diagnosed with primary pulmonary hypertension in 2004. The doctor who discovered my illness never told any of my family members, nor did he inform me. I received no referrals to see any specialist, nor did I get any prescriptions from him. I continued to go to the hospital emergency room every so often, each time feeling worse.
On January 1, 2008, I couldn't take it anymore. I was weak, coughing non-stop and unable to even eat. The doctor did have me hospitalized for a week under observation for what I thought was a bad case of asthma. After I was released from the hospital, I asked him about my swollen feet, belly and persistent cough in his office. His reply was, "that it will go away in time." Even though I still had a very bad cough and could barely walk more than a few feet he gave me a 'return to work' slip.
"I owe my life to the director of my school, Mrs. Lisa Camacho and her doctor, Dr. Lopez-Santiago."

I worked in a small public school as a teacher. I was teaching English as a second language to five groups of 5th and 6th graders. My dad drove me to work on January 16, 2008. The director of the school took a good hard look at me, read the note and ordered me into her office. The note said nothing about my condition. She saw I could barely hold up my head. She opened her own little black book, called her personal doctor and described my condition to him. She then called my sister (who worked with me in the same school) and told her to get me to Hospital Pavia-Santurce as fast as she could. My sister asked for Dr. Lopez-Santiago.
When we arrived, the doctor had already ordered the nurses to take blood samples and a full set of x-rays of my heart and lungs. Dr. Lopez arrived a few minutes after the test results came back. He told my sister and Dad that I was just moments away from a heart attack. I had liquid in my lungs and an irregular heartbeat. I was immediately hospitalized in the intensive care unit as a cardiac patience. I owe my life to the director of my school, Mrs. Lisa Camacho and her doctor, Dr. Lopez-Santiago.
