The old oak tree, chained up
Caution: The Geocache of the Week may be haunted.
Something Sinister … (Staffordshire) (GCNA9Z) is as intriguing as it is scary. Legend has it that a spell was cast on an old oak tree near the cache.
According to locals in the West Midlands, UK, a hungry, homeless woman approached Charles, the Earl of Shrewsbury, as he was returning to his castle one winter's night in 1821. She asked for some money and the Earl angrily rejected her request. She then cursed him and told him that for every branch on the old oak tree that falls, a member of his family will die. The Earl dismissed the curse and carried on his way.
That evening a violent storm broke out and a branch fell from the tree. Later the same night a member of the family became ill and mysteriously died. The Earl ordered his servants to chain up the tree so that no more branches would fall. The tree remains chained up to this day.
A young geocacher visits the spooky tree
The difficulty 2, terrain 2.5 traditional cache was placed near the tree by MarcB in 2005 and adopted by The Bolas Heathens and Dibbler. The cache and the tree have attracted nearly 400 curious geocachers over the last 7 years.
It was the number of Favorite Points that brought the cache to Spanner15's attention. After a visit to the spooky location, she awarded it a favorite point and decided to nominate it for the Geocache of the Week.
She writes, "Walking through the woods was pretty creepy. As we got closer, you could hear screams, from the tree maybe? When we arrived it was very thrilling and a sight to see. A HUGE tree, draped in chains. Sadly, we left our camera in the car, so we only had a rubbish photo from our phone. However, the memory has remained in my head ever since. The cache was pretty cool – my first ammo can!!! Definitely a favourite point!"

Bodybuilding grandpas take center stage at Oregon Ironman
LINCOLN CITY, Ore. -- They say age is just a number, and two grandfathers in their sixties took that advice to the stage of Oregon's premier bodybuilding show in Lincoln City.
The 2013 Oregon Ironman bodybuilding competition drew 244 competitors, and Mike Huard and Felton Campbell are the oldest ones.
Huard, 62, owns a supplement store in Medford.
Felton, 61, is a personal trainer from Beaverton.
"Here's where it works to our advantage - it's because we're mature, we've been through all the testosterone spurts, we're having fun and it's keeping us really healthy," said Huard after pre-judging was over.
"And you never know what age you're going to run against," said Campbell as he stood next to his friend and number one stage competitor. "Right now, our goal is to beat someone in their 40s, which is going to happen this year."
About 1,000 people filled the events room at Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln City where the National Physique Committee qualifying bodybuilding show was held on Saturday.
"You're never too old," said Felton. "Bodybuilding keeps me healthy."
"But don't forget the plastic trophy," joked Huard.
"Never leave without the plastic trophy," joked Campbell after a good laugh.
Felton started bodybuilding in his 50s and said it's a lifestyle that keeps him on the straight and narrow.
"People always ask me, do we party, and I say yea, we party sometimes," said Campbell, "but this is the lifestyle I choose and it's worth more than a life filled with partying."
Campbell said the sport of bodybuilding is 80 percent nutrition, 10 percent hard work in the gym and 10 percent genetics.
"Felton got all the genetics, and I put in all the hard work," said Huard.
"Nutrition is the key thing right now," said Felton, "and get away from all that refined stuff, get away from refined food. It's not doing you any good."

HANNAWA FALLS The sound of music drew hundreds to the Hannawa Falls Fire Hall on Saturday for the third annual J.D.M. Musicfest.
The concert is held in honor of Jesse D. McCarthy, a Canton man who died in a car accident in 2009 at age 23. Jesse was an avid guitarist, and the money raised at the concert goes to support aspiring musicians.
He had a lot of friends, as you can see, said Jesses father, Edward J. McCarthy, gesturing to the crowd gathered outside the hall.
Last years concert raised $7,200, and Mr. McCarthy said Saturdays show was on track to make even more.
Two youths benefit from the fund each year. They do not receive the money directly; sometimes they receive gift cards for music stores, other times the money goes to music teachers.
The McCarthy family is hoping to expand the program to include more people, but they have had trouble finding interested applicants.
This year, the money will be open to children in grades six through 12, instead of just those in grades nine through 12.
Were not really getting the response from the older kids that we want, said Edward McCarthys wife, Kelly M.
The fund was created to help kids pursue their musical interests, since schools often are unable to do the same.
The music program is one of the first things that gets cut. Its all about sports, Mr. McCarthy said.
Finding interested participants has been a challenge, Mr. McCarthy said.
Its almost like you cant give the money away, he said.
Five bands entertained the crowd Saturday. Most of the attendees knew Jesse or his family. Some stayed inside listening to the bands, while others gathered outdoors to chat with friends, nurse their beers and let their children play on the nearby playground.
Its a great cause. Its been real good for Eds family to maintain their memory of Jesse, said Joseph M. Thomas, who plays in the Max Ryder band, the main act of the day.
The concert was created in 2010 by Jesses aunts, Crystal McCarthy and Vicki Stark.
It gets bigger every year, Ms. McCarthy said.
The family also holds a motorcycle run every August to further memorialize Jesse.
Musicians interested in applying for money from the Jesse McCarthy Music Scholarship Fund can call Mr. McCarthy at 854-5057.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
With gale force winds gusting hard and making every throw, pitch and hit an adventure, the Lady Dino Softball team showed they had what it takes to overcome and blow the Juan Diego Soaring Eagle right off the field with a 9-3 win. It was their first region win of the year.
Juan Diego started off first with a run, but the Dinos came back and doubled them up to take a 2-1 lead after the first inning.
Again the Soaring Eagle scored and the Dinos doubled them up in their half of the inning to lead 4-2.
Confidence soared. Paige Pinedo threw a good game, backed up by solid fielding behind her to keep Juan Diego off the boards for the next three innings.
Coach Pinedo was delighted with his team's defensive effort. He pointed out that Kelsey Gillespie had one of her best games yet as she made several key plays including snagging a line drive and throwing out the runner off first to end the game with a double play.
Meanwhile the Dinos continued to keep their bats charged and put up an impressive 19 hits in the game. Whitney Williams just missed hitting for the cycle.
She had a double, triple and a home run, but struck out in her last at bat.
Erika Potts slammed one directly into the heart of the gale and it still bounced off the fence. On any other day that ball would have soared over the fence, but instead Potts settled for an RBI double.
Brianne Vogrinec and Brittany Gustas also each hit a double. Gustas was 3-3 in her first three at bats in the game, she ended 3-5. Sarah Norton also had three hits in the game.
"This game was important. It was really good for us with the big doubleheader with Emery coming up next Tuesday," stated Coach Pinedo. "The games with Emery are always wild and we need to strap it on and be ready to play."
Tuesday's doubleheader will start at 2:30 p.m. down on the Carbon High softball field. Emery is one of the top ranked teams in 3A again this season.

Extreme Geocaching
Click on the image to see the geocaching team's official site
Nine geocachers invested months of planning and preparing for a single day this weekend. The group based in the Netherlands included Team Mac Bean Stash, The Heuv, Ellino, Mr. Loggy, Demostar, The Axe Factor, and Fine-Line. They all launched on their mission on October 9, 2011. (That day can also be read as 9/10/11 – if written day/month/year.) Their goal was simple and extraordinarily complex.
Every geocacher enjoys the game their own way. Some enjoy spending months on one puzzle cache or hiking for days to find a dozen caches in the wilderness. This group wanted to challenge their wits, endurance and planning abilities to claim a world record in the geocaching community. The geocachers researched the most countries any group logged within 24 hours. Geocaching.com does not keep nor endorse official records.
Latitude 47 posted this article in August about a group of three geocachers who logged geocaches in ten countries in 24 hours. A reaction came back that a group of geocachers from Sweden accomplished 14 countries in 24 hours.
The geocaching group from the Netherlands set out to break the record. They say on their official website that they beat 14 countries in 24 hours. The group says they geocached in 15 countries in 24 hours. They countries, in no particular order include, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Poland in 24 hours.
They also promise more details will be available soon. After a cache run like that, there must be time to re-coup. Check back for updates in the story as they occur.
« "The British Library" GC2M0AF GEOCACHE OF THE WEEK – October 10, 2011
Groundspeak Weekly Newsletter – October 12, 2011 »
I do not get the point, why anybody want's to do such a thing. (exept perhaps to become famous among other cachers)
Not very fuel efficent caching. One big day of geocaching, a bad day for ecosystem.
Sorry ! When you live in the centre of the centre province of the biggest country in the world – (Haliburton, Ontario, Canada) – we're going to pass on challenging this record !
Thanks for introducing yourself!
Stop crying and go geocaching!
This record is broken – we just logged 16 geocaches in 24 hours on October 30 . . .
Czech Republic
Details, details, details?
Details are following … We just arrived at our homes and need to sleep a litte bit …. Because 16 countries are REALLY big stuff!!
The Dutch needed three weeks to show their details … ours won´t take so long, I promise 😉
Because it's fun and a good chance to see a bunch of other countries.

Sounds very cool but almost impossible, where can we read your full story Knaeblein?
I agree, where are the details. Unlike the 15 in 24 which has a comprehensive one. Your trip would have had you crossing five proper borders which would have taken time. Congrats though to the 9th October crew…well done!
We are about to make a website with video and so on ….
Then you can see the whole track, we tell the whole story. You´re right, it´s time to do it …
But I´m planning the next thing: 5 continents in a day
What was the distance and driving/searching/rest time?
I've put it in Map Source and it looks like 2050km and if I take 10 mins for each cache + 2xrest/refueling by 15 mins, I get 20 hours.
It means speed average approx. 100 km/h. It looks manageable.
Get 193 geocachers from all 193 countries in the world in a group account. You can log 193 countries in 1 minute. WOW, unbelievable. The real challenge is to get the people together, not to log as many countries in 24 hours as a group.
In which part of Serbia? 😀
Hmmm let me make a small calculation
Post 1 was at October 31 in 2011. Now it is almost January 31 in 2015.
That makes 3 years and 3 moths or in weeks: 169.
In one of the first posts Knaebling mentioned the Dutch team, it took them 3 weeks.
So far no details or website found with any kind of evidence of this so called record.
I assume the record is archived including the evidence.
Which of these elements have you encountered and still geocached? (Choose all that apply)

Cars and trucks kill some 80 million birds a year on U.S. roads, a source of death that may now be a powerful force of natural selection. Charles Brown, a behavioral ecologist at the University of Tulsa, says cliff swallows caught for research have shorter wings than their kin killed on roads--possibly because shorter wings bestow better maneuverability in traffic.

The challenges associated with the Gulf oil spill brought together some top academic minds for discussion and analysis recently at The University of Texas at Austin. The public forum, "Oil in Troubled Waters," explored potential liabilities and consequences for companies involved, as well as environmental concerns. (Watch the entire recorded Webcast at the Energy Institute's Web site.)
Panelist Sheridan Titman, the executive director of the Energy Management and Innovation Center at McCombs and a professor of finance, explained how stock price fluctuations over the past month have suggested that the financial markets, rather than focusing on oil companies in general, have singled out those companies related to the spill or who have similar investments in deep-water drilling for stock value "punishment" — a topic he has also blogged about.
However, Titman added, "I don't think we're going to decide we don't permanently want to drill in deep water. ... The question is whether we are going to drill now or if we are going to drill later."

Every source of energy available to us today has its own environmental impact. The responsibility of energy suppliers as well as policy makers is to recognize those impacts, work to abate them and price the full cost into the product.
Transitioning the nation's energy supply system to one that minimizes environmental impacts will require profound changes. Exelon's efforts to supply clean energy and promote market-driven solutions support America's efforts to make this transformation as efficient and effective as possible.
Exelon's environmental strategy builds on four fundamental elements: regulatory compliance, risk management, resource stewardship and leadership. We continuously assess our strategic options as we better understand the complex environmental, social and economic linkages that challenge our society; we adapt and refine our business strategy to build shareholder value.
Exelon announced on April 23, 2014 that it reduced or avoided more than 18 million metric tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2013, surpassing its goal of eliminating 17.5 million metric tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per year by 2020. The company completed the goal established by its Exelon 2020 program seven years earlier than planned through an enterprise-wide approach that included reducing emissions in its operations, helping its customers and communities reduce their emissions, and adding more clean energy on the grid to displace energy from higher carbon sources. The GHG emissions eliminated by Exelon in 2013 are equivalent to the annual:

In support of the program's objectives, we have invested billions in cost-effective, clean energy projects and customer energy efficiency programs. Our GHG abatement efforts include:
Exelon 2020 Fact SheetExelon is proud to announce that we have achieved our Exelon 2020 goal seven years ahead of schedule – abating over 18 million mtCO2e in 2013! For more information on the program, download this fact sheet.

As GHG emissions accounting evolves, Exelon makes every effort to respond by updating and expanding its GHG inventory accordingly.
click on image to enlarge
With the EPA's phase-out of the Climate Leaders program in 2011, Exelon has realigned its Inventory Management Plan to conform to the accounting guidance outlined by The Climate Registry (TCR). TCR's protocols embody GHG accounting best practices and build upon the framework established by the Climate Leaders program.
With the Exelon 2020 program, we integrated performance monitoring of our GHG inventory and Exelon 2020 efforts into Exelon's quarterly management reporting process. Each of the operating companies that participated in Exelon 2020 documented its progress and results as part of the overall quarterly operational and financial review with the company's senior leadership. Exelon verifies its corporate inventory each year to the TCR standards protocol.
Because appropriate public policies are crucial to addressing climate change in a meaningful way, Exelon has continued engagement with policymakers and key stakeholders to communicate the necessity of ultimately enacting market-based policies for addressing GHG emissions.
Competitive Markets. We believe that properly designed competitive markets are the best mechanism to ensure cost-effective, reliable power supplies and that such markets have also demonstrated the ability to reduce GHG and air emissions in the most efficient way.
Clean Energy. Exelon has supported development of a number of key environmental rulemakings, under the Clean Air Act including the Mercury and Air Toxics Rule (MATS), the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR), and CHG New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for new and existing power plants.
Nuclear Energy. As the largest nuclear fleet operator in the nation, Exelon believes nuclear power is a clean, safe, affordable way to meet energy demands in the United States with minimal direct GHG emissions. We support national policies that will encourage the extended and expanded operation of existing plants. We also support the establishment of an effective approach to spent nuclear fuel management.
CDP. In 2014, Exelon was named to CDP's S&P 500 Climate Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI), marking the fifth time that CDP has recognized Exelon in this category. Exelon is one of four S&P 500 utility companies to appear on the list, which recognizes companies demonstrating a high level of transparency and data quality in their disclosure of climate-related information.

When New Jersey Governor Chris Christie picked Sohail Mohammed — a lawyer who had represented acquitted terror suspects after the September 11 attacks — to be a Superior Court judge, immediate objections forced him to defend his choice. Much of the criticism of his appointment focused on Mohammed's alleged links to terrorism and the possibility that Mohammed would be inclined to follow Shariah law; however, in his unique brand of political rhetoric, Christie labeled his critics "ignorant" and "crazies."
On July 26, the day Mohammed was sworn in, Daniel Greenfield of Front Page Magazine — a publication of leftist--turned-conservative David Horowitz — observed:
New Jersey, the Garden State, has just taken its first step toward becoming the Sharia State, with Governor Christie's nomination of Sohail Mohammed, an attorney to detained terrorist suspects, to a Superior Court judgeship in Passaic [puh•SAKE] County. The Sohail nomination continues Christie's unfortunate pandering to the American Muslim Union and the Islamic Center of Passaic County.

Scouting: Quick Look at Jets Patriots
Tomorrow night, the Jets take on the New England Patriots in a Thursday night game. Here's some things to look for in tomorrow night's matchup.
Tight End Status — there's almost no chance that Rob Gronkowski will be playing tomorrow night, but Aaron Hernandez should make a return to the game. The Jets have been unable to counter the tight end since Hernandez and Gronkowski's emergence, but without Gronk can the Jets make the matchup better?
Aqib Talib Kweli — Talib might have made some plays last week for the Patriots, but he was getting burned on other ones. The Jets Jeremy Kerley might not have the same game he had last time, but the Jets receivers can still beat this team. It's going to be up to Mark Sanchez to make the right reads and find the man in single coverage to avoid any mistakes.
All Quiet on the Jets Defensive Front — . With so much spread personal usage by the patriots Jets are going to have to get the best from Sione, Mo and Coples. The Jets are going to have to do a better job getting pressure up front and they did the last time against Tom Brady.

Cefic: Reach Hits Stumbling Block
October 5, 2009 | Natasha Alperowicz in Lisbon
The chemical industry and Cefic fully support the EU's Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals (Reach) program but its implementation is proving to be more complex than expected for all registrants, says Alain Perroy, outgoing Cefic director general. The problems surround the European Chemical Agency's (ECHA; Helsinki) data-sharing groups, dubbed Substance Information Exchange Forums (SIEF). The first deadline for Reach is November 30, 2010, by which time companies need to submit to ECHA a fully documented dossier for the agency to check. They...

7 U.S. Code § 2029 - Workfare
(a) Program plan; guidelines; compliance
(1) The Secretary shall permit any political subdivision, in any State, that applies and submits a plan to the Secretary in compliance with guidelines promulgated by the Secretary to operate a workfare program pursuant to which every member of a household participating in the supplemental nutrition assistance program who is not exempt by virtue of the provisions of subsection (b) of this section shall accept an offer from such subdivision to perform work on its behalf, or may seek an offer to perform work, in return for compensation consisting of the allotment to which the household is entitled under section 2017 (a) of this title, with each hour of such work entitling that household to a portion of its allotment equal in value to 100 per centum of the higher of the applicable State minimum wage or the Federal minimum hourly rate under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 [29 U.S.C. 201 et seq.].
(A) The Secretary shall promulgate guidelines pursuant to paragraph (1) which, to the maximum extent practicable, enable a political subdivision to design and operate a workfare program under this section which is compatible and consistent with similar workfare programs operated by the subdivision.
(b) Exempt household members
A household member shall be exempt from workfare requirements imposed under this section if such member is—
(1) exempt from section 2015 (d)(1) of this title as the result of clause (B), (C), (D), (E), or (F) of section 2015 (d)(2) of this title;
(2) at the option of the operating agency, subject to and currently actively and satisfactorily participating at least 20 hours a week in a work activity required under title IV of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
(c) Valuation or duration of work
No operating agency shall require any participating member to work in any workfare position to the extent that such work exceeds in value the allotment to which the household is otherwise entitled or that such work, when added to any other hours worked during such week by such member for compensation (in cash or in kind) in any other capacity, exceeds thirty hours a week.
(d) Nature, conditions, and costs of work
The operating agency shall—
(1) not provide any work that has the effect of replacing or preventing the employment of an individual not participating in the workfare program;
(2) provide the same benefits and working conditions that are provided at the job site to employees performing comparable work for comparable hours; and
(e) Job search period
The operating agency may allow a job search period, prior to making workfare assignments, of up to thirty days following a determination of eligibility.
(f) Disqualification
(g) Payment of administrative expenses

(A) From 50 per centum of the funds saved from employment related to a workfare program operated under this section, the Secretary shall pay to each operating agency an amount not to exceed the administrative expenses described in paragraph (1) for which no reimbursement is provided under such paragraph.
(B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the term "funds saved from employment related to a workfare program operated under this section" means an amount equal to three times the dollar value of the decrease in allotments issued to households, to the extent that such decrease results from wages received by members of such households for the first month of employment beginning after the date such members commence such employment if such employment commences—
(i) while such members are participating for the first time in a workfare program operated under this section; or

I have twins who were born at 32 weeks. They were on NeoSure while in the hospital but as they grew they developed stomach issues with gas, spiting up most of what they ate and crying during and after they ate. I was told to keep them on NeoSure by the Dr's even though it was making them sick until I finally couldn't take it any longer and I switched them to Similac Soy. I saw an immediate improvement with the spitting up and over time the gas pains went away. I told my doctor about the change and their weight was montiored very closely up to 6 mo's. They did great on this formula, and had no other health/digestive problems.
My baby had a milk protien allergy which resulted in bloody stools. Alimentum got her on the right track in less than 24 hrs. It can definitely break the pocket book though. Just shop around and try to buy in bulk when you can. We're now to the point where she can handle a little soy formula, so we mix half and half. Cuts on some of the cost anyway... good luck with your little one!
how can i get your product at my doorstep
Excellent, no problems very timely. I will buy again thanks myotcstore.

The Wildcats appear ready to continue their dominance after starting the 2013 season with two impressive victories — defeating Darlington 21-4 in their season opener Feb. 17 and Riverwood 21-3 Feb. 19.
"We've been missing some people in those first couple of games," Westminster coach Jay Watts said. "We've been waiting for a couple of swimmers and some basketball players — waiting for their season to wrap up. [We were] actually at full strength for the first time [last week]."
Westminster has been on a roll, with A-AAAAA state titles in 2010, '11, '12 and '13 as well as an 80-4-2 record the last four years.
"It's certainly great to have that tradition and I think the girls that come into the program know that we have high expectations," Watts said. "But at the same time, every year is different and we're not trying to do anything based on what's been done in the past. We're trying to do the best we can this year with this crop of athletes."
Westminster lost a number of key players from last year's state championship team — including leading scorer Caroline Heys — and feature a much younger lineup, though mixed with some veteran returners.
"We've got a lot of fresh faces," Watts said. "For our game against Darlington, we started four freshmen in that game. We had not started a freshman in our season opener since 1999 — we started four in that game.
"So, it's a totally different dynamic, with so many freshmen and sophomores that are contributing this year — balancing that out with the experience that the juniors and seniors bring with them from last year. We're still kind of in a get-to-know-one-another phase, trying to figure out everybody's strength and being able to use those [strengths] the best we can."
The Wildcats feature a balanced lineup, with senior defender Maggie Cushing, senior attackers Cabell Zakas — last year's second-leading scorer with 60 goals — Isabel Odom and Caroline Midis and junior midfielders Chandler McCamey, Annie Calfo and Mallie Egan the key returners.
McCamey, Calfo and Egan combined for 17 goals and five assists through the first two games for Westminster.
"We have eight or nine girls who can lead us in scoring on any given night," Watts said. "Last year, we got half of our goals from just two or three people and this year we've had four or five different girls score two or three goals in a game. We're scoring in different ways. It's exciting to have a team that's that balanced, because it will make it that much harder to stop us down the road. It's not just one or two players that they will be able to sit on and take us out of our game."

Eligible organizations include 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, legal aid offices, prosecutors, public defenders, government agencies, courts, and judges. Organizations outside the U.S. qualify if they are legal aid offices, prosecutors, public defenders, government agencies, courts, judges, or nonprofit organizations that would qualify for 501(c)(3) status if they were U.S. organizations. Partisan political organizations, partisan political work, and lobbying are ineligible for funding.
The fellowship programs include:
- Bell Public Service Fellowships: Funded by a Law School endowment.
- Christopher Wren Association Fellowships: Funded by an association in Williamsburg, Virginia, that promotes life-long learning. Eligible organizations are in the Williamsburg area.
- Dean's Fellowships: Funded by money allocated by the Dean of the Law School.
- H. Stewart Dunn, Jr. Civil Liberties Fellowships: Funded by the family of H. Stewart Dunn, Jr., a prominent lawyer in Washington, DC, to acknowledge his dedication to the protection of civil liberties. Eligible organizations will contribute to efforts to protect civil liberties afforded U.S. citizens by the U.S. Constitution. In any given year there will be some specific focus on civil liberties afforded by the First Amendment.

Please note the following important details about these programs:
1. Organizations interested in assistance from William & Mary law students via our summer fellowship programs are encouraged to notify the Office of Career Services by using one of the forms here or via email, fax, or postal mail.
2. To apply for funding, students must follow the procedures and include the documentation described in the Law School's summer public service fellowship application.
3. A full 10-week fellowship is $3,600. We are very fortunate to have a broad array of funding options; however, the application process is very competitive. Each year, the demand for funds exceeds the supply. Based on past trends, it is likely that some applicants will not receive funding. In addition, in order to fund as many students as possible, many successful applicants will not receive the maximum fellowship amount, but instead will receive fellowships less than $3,600.
4. There are two application deadlines: in late November for second-year students seeking "early decision" funding, and in late March for first- and second-year students seeking funds under the "regular decision" allocation process. Exact deadline dates are provided to students at the beginning of each academic year.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Local is undergoing a name and menu change.
The restaurant at 67 Main St. was closed over the weekend and is set to reopen on Wednesday as Mediterra, with a new menu of Mediterranean dishes along with some American bistro-style option.
According to a statement through the North Adams Chamber of Commerce, owner Fahri Karakaya, who opened the restaurant last year with sandwich and breakfast offerings, has been considering the change for some time.
"It was always in my mind to open a Mediterranean restaurant. After operating The Local for over a year, I have realized that there were many similar restaurant concepts in the area, but no Mediterranean cuisine," he said. "Many of The Local guests constantly asked if I was thinking of making a change, and here I am. I am running toward my dream."
Karakaya previewed some of the dishes at a recent gathering to update the area on coming events, including the Solid Sound Festival. He said he has found an experienced chef to execute the new menu of Turkish, Italian, Greek and Lebanese selections.
"I am proud of my Turkish heritage and am looking forward to sharing this with my guests," he said.
Several upgrades have been made to the kitchen as well as painting and redecorating the dining room.
With the change, Mediterra will be open for lunch and dinner during the week, and will also include traditional breakfast choices on the weekend. The restaurant also offers beer and wine.
Hours will be Tuesday to Friday beginning at 11 and serving dinner; breakfast will be offered on the weekends beginning at 8 a.m. Closed Mondays.
For more information, 413-346-4172.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Mark Petrino is calling it quits and heading West.
"I'm ready for something new," said a cheerful Petrino on Tuesday, who opened his namesake cafe on the Main Street corner barely a year ago. What's new is an offer he couldn't refuse from Colorado State, which will put him back into college food service.
It was Williams College that brought him to the Berkshires, then long miles traveling to colleges around the area for for AVI Foodsystems put him back into restaurant mode. Now he's ready for academia again.
Petrino's is the third eatery to try the corner of Holden and Main, following in the footsteps of the Cup & Saucer and Applachian Bean. It offered up fresh and local fare for breakfast and lunch, with various wraps along with some really great burgers, coffees and specialties. All the sandwiches were named after "relatives" to give it a homey touch. Our favorite is the Cousin Mary (chicken, chipotle sauce and Provolone) with an occasional Counsin Paulie (turkey, spring greens and feta on a panini roll).
It's no secret that the restaurant biz is the hardest, and this season has been brutal — too much snow and cold was keeping people inside. The restaurant has been closed on Mondays since February and rumors of its closure were going around weeks ago. Asked last week on the eatery's status, Petrino said he hadn't made a decision yet.
But Petrino says the new owner (he didn't want to say who yet) is in negotiations with building owner David Carver and is expected to take ownership as soon as next week. The new proprietor is considering getting an alcohol license and change to later hours, he said.
The cafe could close for a couple weeks to give the new owner a chance to do some renovations and "put his stamp on it," said Petrino, but it will be open in time for the avalanche that is the Solid Sound Festival in June.
"He knows Wilco is a cash cow," said Petrino, "he'll be open."
On a related note, we received some concern over the status of Desperados on Eagle Street on Monday after a large blue tarp was seen covering the entrance. No vandalism, broken glass or anything drastic — the restaurant was putting down new floor tile and had covered the entranceway to create a workspace.
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — I like to revisit food, at least, good food. In that way, we are like well-trained dogs. Good food feels good and makes me happy, bad food feels bad and makes me sick.
Ask me when was the last time I stepped foot into a Burger King.
On Saturday night, maybe because the full moon had us all swooning with the prospect of spring, or because it was late and we (we meaning myself, the kids and the nearly 7-foot eating machine called the boyfriend) were in the mood for some good spring eats.
And what says spring more than barbecue?
"Let's go to the Route 7 Grill," I said to the kids, whose faces were buried in their Nintendo DS game. Lucian was killing Anna; it seemed like a good time to break things up. They perked up immediately at the suggestion.
"I'm totally getting a cheeseburger," Anna said in her annoying, pre-teen voice. Lucian just nodded his head saying something about the cornbread and butter.
Let me back up for just a second. My first run in with the Route 7 Grill on Main Street was about five or six years ago. It was a spring day and I was scheduled to do an interview with the owners of this new BBQ joint that had just opened. I thought I could kill the interview and then make my way up to the DMV to get my license renewed, which was, like my inspection sticker, long overdue. So, there I was, the rookie reporter sitting with the owner, Lester Blumenthal, talking about slow smoking and roadhouse culture in the Berkshires. As much as I wanted to get in and get out, I could not refuse the brisket sandwich and fries that Lester put in front of me. I took a bite; he held his breath.
"That's d*mn good," I said, savoring the buttery meat and sauce. "Wow, really d*mn good."
My review/interview that day was their first write-up in print. Since then, the Grill has been in several foodie magazines and seen numerous reviews and accolades. But, we grew up together, Lester and I. The rookie reporter and the business guy turned professional meat smoker.
Filled with the usual good will and nostalgia, we dove into our meal by the light of the Crow Moon. Immediately I noticed something different about my salad. The smoked chicken was richer, much richer, almost as if it had been sitting in a hickory tree for weeks, waiting for me to enjoy. I took several bites, savoring the familiar flavor of my childhood.
The kids ate in silence, Anna just humming and chewing on her burger and Lucian deftly focused on his homemade chicken tenders.
"They've done something different here," I said. "This is so authentic."
Lester sidled up to the table, ever the awesome host checking in with his clearly happy customers. Before he could even ask the question, I jumped in.
"What's going on, man?" I said. "This stuff is amazing. You're doing something different, you can't fool me."
"Nothing too different," he said with an almost sly smile. "Just taking our time. I had an epiphany a while ago. We slowed down the smoker, got some new recipes in there, and really looked at our ingredients."
So humble. The mashed potatoes with a hint of blue cheese made my mouth tingle, the smoky mushrooms with the meat were a meal in themselves, and the dessert, oh the dessert. Chocolate espresso cheese cake (all homemade, bitter grounds, handcrumbled crust) and a polenta dish with spiced apples and caramel sauce.
Simple yet effective is putting it lightly. The savory sweetness of the dessert pretty well encapsulated the entire evening.
A roaring fire, familiar faces, and a delicious meal with hints of woodsmoke and lots of surprises.
Outdoor pig roasts are coming soon on Fridays. You know where to find me.
The Route 7 Grill is on 999 Main St. (yes, Route 7), Great Barrington. Its hours are 5-9 weekdays (to 10 on Friday and closed Tuesdays) and lunch and dinner on the weekends. Check out the Facebook page.

|Alfred Hitchcock
|Jon Finch, Barry Foster, Anna Massey
|Run Time
|More Info
In 1972, Alfred Hitchcock returned home to England after decades of goofin' around in Hollywood to direct his second-to-last film, the astonishingly brutal and extremely British FRENZY. Like a greatest-hits of Hitchcock themes and ideas, FRENZY is a homecoming not only to dirty old England, but to the cinematic territory of his earliest movies. The story of a down-on-his-luck bartender (Jon Finch) falsely suspected as the psychotic sex killer behind a string of recent crimes known as the "necktie murders", FRENZY is full of familiar motifs - the wrong-man, insidiously banal evil lurking in our midst -- and pitch black humor that instantly recall his early films like THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, THE LODGER and YOUNG AND INNOCENT. Only none of those films prominently feature such an agonizingly drawn out, explicitly photographed rape and murder. The horrors and obsessions that lurk at the edges of all his films, suggested and implied, are made viciously explicit in FRENZY. What PSYCHO hid with shower curtains and clever cutting, FRENZY stares at and wallows in. The new freedoms allowed by the recently instituted R-rating are instantly challenged by Hitchcock and pushed to their limits. He can't help but try to get away with something.
Abandoning class and restraint, this is Hitchcock getting dirty. It's an old man's movie in the sense that it feels like a summation and reflection on all that's come before. But at the same time, there's a renewed intensity in the subversion of form and expectation; a ramping up rather than a winding down of his dark and cynical worldview. And though it lacks the sort of refined and grim elegance that characterizes his more beloved classics, FRENZY is an impossibly perfect application of pure moviemaking technique. The involvement and participation that Hitchcock demands from his audiences in the most shocking and sinister scenarios is ratcheted up to new highs. One sequence in particular -- a masterwork of gallows humor taking place in the back of a potato truck, following the killer's desperate efforts to recover an incriminating pin from the stiffened clutches of his latest victim -- is one of the greatest things the morbid old fat man ever directed. We've seen the killer at work, we still hate and fear him, but we're on the edges of our seats, sweating along with him, sharing his anxiety as he tries to collect the evidence. Hitchcock is playing us with nasty enthusiasm and an assured mastery of the craft.
He makes his customary cameo at the start of the film as the only non-cheering member of a crowd listening to a speech about cleaning up pollution in the Thames. Moments later a corpse washes up on the banks. It's clear that Hitchcock has always preferred to swim in dirty waters.

Read: Rick Nash Is Finally Going To Be Challenged
At Puck Rakers Aaron Portzline writes that one of the main issues that faced Rick Nash in Columbus is that following the dismissal of Ken Hitchcock as head coach, Nash wasn't being pushed enough and his game suffered.
He writes "Because Nash was the only star on Nationwide, there was level of deference paid him that was out of whack. Hitchcock had the credentials and the confidence to crack the whip. Remember how quickly Nash ended up on the penalty kill when Hitchcock took over? When Hitch was fired, nobody left could challenge the captain, allowing him to rest on his laurels. Call that a character flaw if you wish, but we all need a kick in the rear sometimes. That's just human nature."
Last season on MSG Henrik Lundqvist said this about the Rangers

POTSDAM Planning officials have recommended that the village pass a law to require all businesses and apartment complexes to install a lock box that would give firefighters access to the building in an emergency.
Potsdam Fire Chief Timothy L. Jerome said firefighters sometimes cause more damage than the fire itself when they have to enter a locked structure. If firefighters do not have a key and there is no one to let them in, we have to smash our way in, Mr. Jerome said.
Village Planning Board member and Potsdam firefighter James F. Corbett recounted a recent incident in which firefighters responding to an alarm at a Market Street business had to break down a door to get inside, after spending 30 minutes waiting to access the building. When they got inside, firefighters discovered that water leaking from a second-floor apartment had set off the fire alarm.
Other times, firefighters break down doors to respond to what turns out to be a false alarm.
You see smoke and you break down a thousand-dollar door, and it turns out to be a pipe bomb causing the smoke, Mr. Jerome said.
Firefighters inability to access a burning structure can pose a significant threat to any people, animals or valuable items inside. Its too difficult to play the waiting game, Mr. Jerome said.
Under the current system, firefighters have a large Medeco lock box on a fire engine that contains keys to a number of village businesses. To access the keys, a firefighter must punch in a custom code, and the system records who has taken out a key and when it is returned. Mr. Corbett said there is only one master key, and it cannot be duplicated, making it virtually impossible for anyone to access the box without the departments knowledge.
But the system is far from perfect. Mr. Corbett said the lock box is incomplete and cumbersome, with so many keys to manage.
The box also takes up valuable space on the engine, Mr. Jerome said. Its gotten to be too much. It takes up too much room on the truck, he said.
The smallest Medeco lock boxes are about $250 to $300, and will contain keys to enter all units of a building. Apartment complexes and other structures with many units may need to invest in one of the larger, more expensive lock boxes.
The only way to access the lock boxes is with the master key kept on the firetruck, Mr. Corbett said.
Under the proposed law, those who do not purchase and install a lock box would be fined $250 per month, which is the approximate cost of a small Medeco lock box.
SUNY Potsdam and Clarkson University have installed lock boxes on all campus structures, and the village of Canton has a similar ordinance in effect.
The proposed law would not apply to residential homes, but some residents choose to install the lock boxes to ensure firefighters can access their homes when they are away.
The village Board of Trustees will vote on the proposal at its March 18 meeting.
