PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Bernie Carbo assumed custody of his grandson when he was two. This same lad has matured into a 14-year-old with big-league hopes, no doubt fueled by a grandfather who authored one of the most memorable home runs in Red Sox lore.
Surprisingly, Carbo was not asked to relive his famous pinch hit, three-run home run that tied Game 6 of the 1975 World Series upon a recent visit to McCoy Stadium. Conducting a 20-minute briefing in the press box before heading downstairs to sign autographs and pose for pictures alongside fellow ŌĆś75 Sox teammate Bill Lee, Carbo talked about his belief that the game a detox program that seriously addresses the issue of performance-enhancing drugs.
ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt want my grandson to play professional baseball if he has to juice up with steroids or human growth or whatever,ŌĆØ stated the 65-year-old Carbo, these days a practicing minister in Theodore, Alabama. ŌĆ£I want it out of the game.ŌĆØ
Carbo wants baseball to see the light in the same way he once did. His 12-year playing career was over at 33 because of poor choices with alcohol and drugs.
ŌĆ£I take responsibility for me, Bernie Carbo. I made the wrong and bad choice. You canŌĆÖt turn it around,ŌĆØ he said looking back.
Carbo recalled the temptations that were interwoven with baseballŌĆÖs culture in the 1970s. He said players walked into the trainerŌĆÖs room to find Benzedrine and Dexedrine available on the counter. Following his Rookie of the Year selection by the Sporting News in 1970, Carbo received an invitation from a weight-lifter to spend the offseason in California.
In addition to pumping iron, the program included taking steroids. With little cash in his pocket, this career .264 hitter elected to bypass on a chance to improve his physique.
ŌĆ£I had to go out and work. I didnŌĆÖt have money to pay for a trainer,ŌĆØ Carbo said.
Others did, and the results were apparent to Carbo.
ŌĆ£There were times in spring training in 1973 or 1974 where you would look at a guy who weighed 180 pounds and say, ŌĆśYou look big. Geez, you must be 220 pounds.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
The reply was often, ŌĆ£Well, IŌĆÖm just weightlifting.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs what everybody thought,ŌĆØ said Carbo.
The major off-the-field focus during CarboŌĆÖs era was increased awareness about player salaries. The numerous strikes and lockouts of the 1970s resulted in players gaining a larger share in the profits generated by big league clubs.
ŌĆ£We had to win a championship and get into a World Series in order to get a raise. It didnŌĆÖt matter what we hit. If you didnŌĆÖt win in the playoffs, you didnŌĆÖt receive a raise,ŌĆØ said Carbo about the ŌĆ£one for all, all for oneŌĆØ compensation system that was apparently at the root of the ownerŌĆÖs purse strings. ŌĆ£The raise we did get was being the World Series ŌĆō $9,000 ŌĆō$10,000 at that particular time. It was an incentive to play as a team, know each other and win, play through injuries and do whatever.
ŌĆ£The year I won Rookie of the Year, I was offered a $1,000 raise above the minimum salary,ŌĆØ Carbo said. ŌĆ£There was no bargaining. (The offer) was sent to the commissioner who sent it back to the club you were with. Either you played or went home and carried a lunch bucket.
ŌĆ£As players, we went on strike to make the money better for todayŌĆÖs players,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£We had to find jobs in the winter.ŌĆØ
CarboŌĆÖs generationŌĆÖs unified front on the issues of free agency made it possible for the players who came after them to shop their talents to the highest bidder, enabling todayŌĆÖs massive salaries that wouldŌĆÖve once seemed unimaginable.
Now he feels that the time has arrived for this generationŌĆÖs much-wealthier players to band together and take a stand against performance-enhancing drugs.
The Mitchell Report that was released in 2007 followed the mandatory steroid testing program that was enacted prior to the 2004 season. The former turned out to be nothing more than a glorified witch hunt while the latter has done little to discourage players from continuously cutting corners. To Carbo, the potential financial rewards from performance-enhancers are too tempting for many players to resist.
ŌĆ£How can someone like Melky Cabrera, who missed the playoffs and World Series, sign a two-year contract with Toronto for $16 million. ThatŌĆÖs a heck of a reward, donŌĆÖt you think so?ŌĆØ said Carbo. The Miami Clinic Scandal that surfaced earlier this month demonstrated that baseball still has a long fight ahead in the war on PED use. The fallout remains forthcoming, with names such as Alex Rodriguez or Ryan Bruan potentially facing lengthy suspensions.
Carbo feels that Major League Baseball is so conscious of public relations that the scandal ŌĆ£will be thrown under the rug. I donŌĆÖt think anything will happen. That just shows you whatŌĆÖs going on with baseball.
ŌĆ£(PEDs) have been in the game a long time. ItŌĆÖs just coming out more often because of whatŌĆÖs happening outside the game,ŌĆØ Carbo said. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre finding people that are supplying the players with the drugs and theyŌĆÖre getting busted and theyŌĆÖre mentioning the other players who are doing it. ThatŌĆÖs the only way weŌĆÖre finding anything out.ŌĆØ
Carbo says that rather than increasing punishments for PED use, it might make more sense to establish a period of leniency to encourage more players to come forward and admit abuse.
ŌĆ£YouŌĆÖre going to have to wean it until you have the opportunity to help these people get off the drugs. It has to take time, but you have to be very lenient with it initially because there are so many players who are cheating. ThereŌĆÖs an epidemic going on,ŌĆØ said Carbo. ŌĆ£For the first year, you have to have leniency. Then if you get tested and caught in the second year, you get out of the game.ŌĆØ
Carbo was asked if his generation should have put forth a greater effort to stem the tide of performance enhancers before their use grew to their present proportions.
ŌĆ£Sure, there could been. There should have been, put it that way,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£For me as a fan and a man who played the game and went through all the things I went through and now becoming a Christian, I turn on the TV and I wonder. Is it this guy?ŌĆØ
Carbo said that itŌĆÖs a terrible feeling to fear that young players today might feel pressured to use drugs just to have a shot at making it to the professional level.
ŌĆ£The ones who care are baseball fans and people who have young children,ŌĆØ said Carbo. ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs why itŌĆÖs a bad situation.ŌĆØView more articles in:

Three Dead, Two Missing Following Tanker Blast in Malaysia
July 27, 2012 | Ian Young
Malaysian International Shipping Corp. (MISC; Kuala Lumpur) has confirmed that several explosions and a fire struck one of the company's chemical tankers yesterday, killing three crew members. A further two crew members are missing following the incident, the company says. The explosions and fire occurred as the vessel, the Bunga Alpinia, was loading methanol from a Petronas Chemicals terminal in the port of Labuan, Malaysia. The vessel is about "80% destroyed," one local report says. Petronas Chemicals halted operations at its nearby...

MASSENA - Area emergency responders got a hands-on look Wednesday night at a helicopter they might have to call in if a patient required quick transport to a medical facility.
LifeNet of New York air medical transport is based locally out of Damon Field in Potsdam, giving it quick access to emergency scenes.
Our helicopter staff is on 24 hours, seven days a week with a full crew, said Jeff Doyle, medical base supervisor at Potsdam.
Each aircraft is staffed with a critical care nurse, critical care paramedic and pilot, and one patient is transported in each aircraft to allow the greatest amount of focused care.
All of our members are critical care credentialed. They have direct oversight by our own physician. We have patient care guidelines. We dont follow ground protocols. Its this is what is wrong with the patient. This is what we expect you to do to get the patient where you need to go, he said. Each time we go on a mission we bring everything with us, all of our tools in the tool box.
In case of an emergency, Mr. Doyle said their range of operation is about 150 miles, excluding Canada. They work to have each of their aircraft launched within 10 minutes of the mission being accepted by the pilot on duty at the closest available base.
We pick up from the scene or if the hospital feels the patient has to move to specialty care, he said.
Rather than a three-hour drive to a facility in locations like Burlington, Vt., or Syracuse, a LifeNet helicopter can transport a patient in about 45 minutes, improving the persons chances medically, Mr. Doyle said. They can travel a mile in two minutes. A trip from Potsdam to Massena would take eight minutes.
We dont have to stop at traffic lights. We do not have to follow traffic patterns, Mr. Doyle said.
LifeNet of New York is owned and operated by Air Methods Corporation, Englewood, Colo. Since their beginnings in 1992, they now cover 47 states with 50 helicopters, 10 of them in New York at based in Potsdam, Albany, Glen, Newburgh, Harris, Hornell, Sidney, Dexter and Sayre, Pa. They opened their Potsdam location on Oct. 1. The station at Watertown International Airport near Dexter opened in June.
Although theyre staffed around the clock, Mr. Doyle said there may be times when theyre not able to respond because of another emergency. But that doesnt mean air transport is out of the question, he said.
We have agreements with neighboring agencies. If we cant do it, they dial those agencies, he said. Were not here to take over anybody. Were not here to step on toes. Were strictly dedicated to the care of that patient.
Weather can also play a factor, not just locally, but at their final destination.
We have to make sure we can make all the legs of the trip before we accept the mission, Mr. Doyle said.
The service comes with a cost, though, depending on the distance. A recent letter to the editor from Henry R. LaClair, Clayton, that appeared in the Watertown Daily Times said the bill for a flight from Thousand Islands Middle School to Syracuse was thousands of dollars.
The bill for the flight alone was a staggering $42,500 plus hospital and dental bills, Mr. LaClair wrote.
Mr. Doyle said he doesnt see the bills, but was aware of the concern.
I saw the article. The bill was $39,000 and his insurance covered all of it, he said. We do work with the insurance company. Most insurance companies do pay.
If a person doesnt have insurance, the company will work with the individual, he said.
We wont take their home, Mr. Doyle said. Were Medicare compliant. Were restricted by that. Its not excessive. The aircraft as it sits on the ground is $5 million and we provide an expedited transport and elevated level of care
Wednesdays session, which included a landing by a LifeNet helicopter in the Massena Rescue Squads parking lot, was a chance for area emergency responders, including rescue squad and fire department members to get their first exposure to LifeNet.
For a lot of these folks its their first interaction with us. Well give them an overview of who we are as an agency and how to go about requesting us, Mr. Doyle said.
Norm Worden, chairman of the board and critical care technician with the Massena Rescue Squad said there were advantages to using LifeNets services in case of extreme emergencies in which the patient needed immediate care.
They can get to the appropriate facility in a decent amount of time, he said.
The call for LifeNets services can be made by the medical person in charge of the scene or a fire chief if theyre the site commander, Mr. Worden said.
The last time we had a situation, they couldnt fly because of the weather. When they can fly its a great asset. Its a good service if we ever need it. Theyre there if we need it, he said.
If the helicopter is unavailable in Potsdam, Mr. Worden said they could also request one be dispatched from Watertown.
We go a lot of times on the dispatch information. If its a serious personal injury accident the first thing Im going to say is give me the availability of a helicopter, Mr. Worden said. If Potsdam is available, theyre going to be on the ground before we cut the patient out of the vehicle.
Approximately 60 people were invited for Wednesdays session, and the chairs were full in the rescue squads bay area where Mr. Doyle gave a slide presentation on their services before taking them out to the helicopter.
I set up for about 60-plus, Mr. Worden said. The first people I invited was Massena Fire because we work with them every day.

Buffalo, NY - A website glitch for Walmart caused people nationwide and here at home to order some normally pricey items at amazing discounts like ten dollars for a TV or computer monitor.
One of our viewers, Pamela, contacted us and said "I just got an e-mail stating that my order has been cancelled due to the mix-up. They are sending me a ten dollar store credit for my troubles. My question is... how do they get away with not honoring those prices?"
While there is regulation of on-line retailing with the Federal Trade Commission, there is also the terms of use policy on that Walmart website which is basically a disclaimer.
On Wednesday morning, Walmart.com was offering on its website expensive products like computer monitors and TV's for ten dollars. There were also too hard to believe bargains on treadmills, video games, and some toys. Some folks like Pamela jumped on Walmart.com and scooped up those ridiculously low, low prices with on - line orders. But the giant retailer announced there was a glitch, a pricing malfunction, a technical error. They then said sorry to those who ordered, cancelled those orders, and sent them refunds instead with a ten dollar e-gift card.
As it turns out in their terms of use policy on the website, they do state under pricing information "Pricing errors may occur on the Walmart sites. Walmart reserves the right to cancel any orders containing pricing errors...and at its discretion can contact customers to cancel orders. It also notes that Walmart site pricing may be different than stores."
But a local marketing expert feels Walmart should honor the incorrect website prices like other retailers have done. It can help with customer good will before the holidays. Marketing Professor Dr. Arun Jain of the UB School of Management says "When they made a mistake they honor it. I think it's good for Walmart to do that. Walmart is not necessarily known as a very friendly store. Frequently communities are against them. I think this will be a good gesture for them to do that. Considering the holiday season and the billions of dollars of profit they have. This would be very small...not even a blink of it."
United Airlines had a similar problem in September when a website glitch offered an even better deal for airline tickets of ten dollars or less. At first United said no deal. Then after a ton of customer complaints they basically wrote it off as a good will gesture and approved those fares. Last year on - line retailer Zappos made a similar pricing mistake but took the loss and got good publicity. We'll see what happens with Walmart. Maybe if enough people complain before the holiday shopping season, who knows what will happen. We did not hear back from their corporate public affairs unit.

Comments about Patagonia Ultralight Down Jacket (Men's):
This is a great fall or spring jacket. Unfortunately, it will not carry me through late fall/early winter in New England. I half-expected this to happen and I am unfazed. I love this jacket enough to keep it for use during the other warmer seasons. I know it will last for a long time, and it is stylish without all the bulk.

Comments about Patagonia Ultralight Down Jacket (Men's):
This is a really great amount of warmth for the weight, and it figs snugly under other layers if the weather demands it. On its own, I'm happy down to 20 degrees so long as the wind's not up. The biggest selling point is the weight and compressibility - it's exactly what I want in a cool-weather jacket.

Comments about Patagonia Ultralight Down Jacket (Men's):
A truly amazing jacket at ~9 oz., yet keeps me warm in all but the coldest conditions! I got this as an alternative to my TNF Nuptse (700 fill power) jacket because it was a bit bulky and too warm in some cases. The Ultralight is supremely packable into its stuff sack and isn't excessively warm indoors, so I don't have to keep taking it off and putting it on. I often wear it with just a baselayer underneath if it's not too cold outside, and with an R2 high-loft jacket underneath if it's particularly chilly out. The 800 fill power is superb, and I can't say enough positive things about this jacket. The fit is great, and quite warm without the bulk, and the material is highly durable.

Comments about Patagonia Ultralight Down Jacket (Men's):
Really happy with the Patagonia Ultralight Jacket. Very lightweight, nice fit and brilliant finishes. Prefer Patagonia's slimmer design so I can layer it under my spring jackets. Only trade-off is the lighter down means it's not as warm as the heavier jackets but knew that going in. Fast delivery and great sale from Rock Creek (35% OFF).
Comments about Patagonia Ultralight Down Jacket (Men's):
This is great for those cold days out on the trail. Those mornings when the headwind is cold and you just slept on top of a bald. When you are about to get out of that warm down sleeping bag just throw this on and your upper half will stay warm. These have the elastic bands at the bottom and around the wrists so it keeps those cold breezes from ruining your mood, it also keeps you from looking like a square if you are using it for casual wear. The great thing about these is that they are lightweight, comfortable, and compact into a fist sized bundle. Good for fall or spring hikes and just chillin during the colder seasons.

Just one day after state officials assembled to roll out a raft of proposed school safety legislation, a lockdown at the University of Rhode Island triggered by reports of a gunman on the South Kingstown campus brought new immediacy to what has become a national conversation about guns.
No guns were found at URI, nobody was injured and the lockdown, which started in the late morning, was lifted by mid-afternoon.Gov. Lincoln Chafee said the activity at URI – "fortunately it was a non-incident at the end," he noted – "is a great opportunity to assess our response. "Thank goodness it was not a real violent event," he added. "It was not a drill, you try to simulate the urgency of the moment in a drill, but this was beyond that."
Asked of the response, which brought the State Police, Campus Police and police officers from South Kingstown and several surrounding communities to the campus was a overreaction in light of the fact that no gun or gunman has been found, Chafee said, "we'll assess that, this is the opportunity, but I don't think you can ever overreact these days, though."We'll assess, if it had been a real shooting, the effectiveness of our response," he said.
The incident started at the John H. Chafee Social Science Center, a building named for Chafee's late father who, like his son, was a U.S. Senator and governor of Rhode Island.Chafee said that, as he sat at the Wednesday press conference, his mind went to the 2007 shootings at Virginia Tech University that killed 32 people and he started thinking, "we're talking about K-12 schools here, but we still have the possibility of a higher education incident." Col. Stephen O'Donnell, head of the Rhode Island State Police agreed with Chafee that, "you can never react inappropriately" in sending officers to respond to such a situation "because if it is the real deal, you might need that assistance."
"We'll figure that stuff out with an after-action report," O'Donnell said. "But when someone rings a bell, we respond."O'Donnell said he is confident that "the person, really in their heart believed there was a gun, even though they didn't see it, but someone said 'I have a gun,' and next thing you know it becomes viral because of social media and people talk and call 911."But, O'Donnell emphasized, "We found no evidence of a firearm or an active shooter or any shooting at URI (Thursday). He said he doesn't believe it was a hoax.
"The person who called police, without question, was concerned for her safety and other people's safety, based on the national conversation we have with guns. She did the right thing by calling us, all of us would rather respond and have nothing happen than have a late response or inappropriate response if something did happen."Whether or not the man whose statement touched off the incident – there are several variations, but it is believed he said something along the lines of "I'm a good guy and I have a gun – was trying to foment an incident, O'Donnell couldn't say.
"Whatever that person's motive was, we don't know yet," he said, "we'll question that when we locate the person."Asked whether the statement "I am a good guy and I have a gun," could be a political statement in light of National Rifle Association spokesman Wayne LaPierre saying after the Newton, Connecticut school shootings in December that, "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," O'Donnell said, "there's no way of knowing that without talking to the person who said it. When someone makes a comment like that, we have to respond, there's no way of turning back, we have to pay attention to it."As for whether the incident might have sprung from a "Humans vs. Zombies" game among college students, O'Donnell noted that "It is Zombie Week at URI, so it is a possibility, everything is on the table, for me to say it is one thing or another, we don't know.""The whole area was tense," reported state Sen. Susan Sosnowski, whose district includes the URI campus."I think it clearly opens up the discussion once again about not just arming campus police, but creating some kind of special team be activated in case of something like this," Sosnowski said.

How long will global warming last?
A long lifetime for CO2 adjustment is also consistent with an isotopic event in the deep sea sedimentary record from 55 million years ago, the Paleocene/Eocene Thermal Maximum event. The record tells the story of the sudden release of an isotopically light source of carbon, triggering a fast warming in the deep sea of about 5 degrees C. Both the carbon isotope signal and the temperature (inferred from oxygen isotopes) then relaxed back toward their initial values in about 100,000 years. If the released carbon were initially in the form of methane, it would have been oxidized to CO2 within a few decades, but as CO2 it apparently stuck around, warming the deep ocean, for a long time before it went away.
The shortest lifetime estimates, such as EPA's 5-years, derive from the exchange flux of CO2 between the atmosphere and ocean, which is about 200 Gt C/year (1 Gt C is 1012 kg of carbon) in each direction. Because the exchange flux is back-and-forth, it has nothing to do with the net uptake by the ocean of new CO2 to the system, which relies on the imbalance between the upward and downward exchange fluxes. That imbalance is only about 2 Gt C/year.
Even the present-day net flux tends to underestimate the real lifetime of global warming. The atmosphere contains about 160 Gt more carbon than it did then. If we divide this number by the CO2 invasion flux into the ocean of 2 Gt C/year, we get an apparent uptake time scale of 80 years. This result is shorter than model air/water equilibration time scales by a factor of four or so. I believe the problem is with the simple calculation. The CO2 concentration of the atmosphere is going up continuously, and so it invades the ocean as it equilibrates with warm surface waters. If atmospheric CO2 were not going up, the warm surface waters would saturate in a year or two, the overall ocean invasion rate would decrease, and the lifetime estimates by this method would increase. Different parts of the ocean equilibrate with the atmosphere on different time scales, ranging from a year for the tropical surface ocean to a millennium for the deep sea. Overall, model experiments show a CO2 equilibration time of a few centuries [5, 6, 11, 12]. The other problem with both of these conceptions is that they implicitly assure us that the CO2 concentration is going back to its initial concentration, which it will not.
Another source of short-lifetime bias in the community probably comes from a calculation used to compare the greenhouse consequences of different gases, called the Global Warming Potential (GWP) [13]. Some trace gases such as methane have a stronger impact on the heat balance of the earth, per molecule, than CO2 does. However, to really compare them fairly one might want to factor in the fact that methane only lives about 10 years before it goes away (actually, it is oxidized to CO2, another greenhouse gas, but it is common to ignore that in GWP calculatons). Global warming potentials are calculated by integrating the radiative energy impact of a molecule of gas over its atmospheric lifetime. However, if the full lifetime of CO2 were considered, including that long tail, then methane would be by that calculation unimportant. On human time scales, methane is certainly an important greenhouse gas, and so what's done is to arbitrarily limit the time horizon of the calculation to something like human timescales. Methane GWP is higher when considered on the 50-year time horizon than it is on the 500-year time horizon or it would be on a 500,000-year time horizon, if anyone bothered to do that calculation. Perhaps the adoption of time horizons for GWP calculations conditions scientists to believe that CO2 only persists for as long as this time horizon lasts. The table in the EPA document, for example, was associated with a discussion of global warming potentials.

For a very long time Nvidia had a clear lead over ATI, both in terms of speed and driver stability. With the FX line, however, ATI took the lead from Nvidia beating any of their cards with the 9800XT and those in the same generation. Not only in speed, but the image quality of nvidia was loosing big time to ati, especially in their AA routines.
Right now, the leader spot is back with Nvidia and their 6800 series. That is both in terms of speed, OpenGL support, and features like SM3. Stability is not an issue with either at this point of the game (IMO), and as for heat, I haven't looked at the normal temp of the latest ATI cards, but my Leadtek 6800 with a very good heatsink runs without any overheating issues event at full load and overclocked.
Based on that my current vote goes to nvidia, but for all we know it can change the next generation. I simply go with what is better at the time.

"The suggestions to tax foods for public health reasons are misguided at best and may be counterproductive at worst. Not only do such taxes not work, especially when they choose the wrong foods to tax, they can become expensive liabilities for the businesses forced to become tax collectors on the government's behalf."
So declared the government of Denmark in announcing that it was repealing its year-old tax on fatty foods. Since October 1, 2011, any food sold in Denmark containing over 2.3 percent saturated fat has been subject to a $1.29-per-pound tax on the fatty portion of the food. The price of butter, which is 63 percent saturated fat, increased by 90 cents per pound; cheese rose 50 cents per pound; and lard shot up $1.40 per pound.
All of this, of course, was done in the name of public health. Making these allegedly unhealthful foods more expensive was supposed to drive Danes to more healthful alternatives, thereby reducing obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
The law was popular among the political elites, with nearly 90 percent of the Danish parliament voting in favor of it. "But few outside the government seem to think it's a good idea — or even a healthy one," Time magazine observed at the time. Now even the government admits that it was a bad idea — so bad that a planned tax on sugary foods has also been scrapped.
Clearly one year was insufficient time in which to determine whether the tax had improved Danes' health. However, it was plenty of time to discover the tax's negative effects.

Rangers Vs. Capitals
7:00pm, Madison Square Garden
Rangers Record: 25-25-7
Capitals Record: 38-12-6
Tonight's matchup at the Garden will be the third meeting
between the red hot Caps and the struggling Rangers. The previous meetings
ended with road wins as the Rangers took it to the Caps in DC in October but a
month later the Caps returned the favor at MSG.
This is a big game for both teams as Washington looks to
extend a there 11 game winning streak, something that has not been done post
lockout. While the Rangers, with there new additions look for something to
build on. A win against the hottest team in the league might be a key aspect in
getting the Rangers to a better place in the standings as well as mentally
before the NHL season takes a timeout.
Jokinen and Prust make their home debuts tonight and hope to
shock a little life into the teams play. All though Jokinen has played only one
game with Gaborik, both of them know how important it is to gel and gel fast.
The Rangers defense will need a big game as the Caps have
scored 55 goals over this 11 game win streak especially from Staal who will see
more of number 8 than other d-man.
The goalie matchup will be Lundqvist vs. Theodore; both have
been very impressive over the last month.

James Taylor
Fifteen years ago, when James Taylor became a star at the age of 22, the singer-songwriter from North Carolina had already developed a full-blown personal style.

At only 4 years old, Charlie H. Hyman won his first blue ribbon showing a pale brown Swiss junior calf.
His calf, Icicle, was one of nearly 200 cows judged under the blue-and-white-striped tent Thursday at the Jefferson County Fairs dairy cattle show.
Its like a beauty contest for cows, but you want one thats functional at home, judge Jennifer K. Mills said.
Just as in a beauty pageant, said Sharon V. Fleming, associate director of the fair, there are several physical features the dairy judges consider.
Were looking for a stylish dairy animal with balance, she said. Feet and legs are very important.
Mrs. Mills added that there is an ideal, correct mammary system against which all of the animals are judged.
You want a cow thats easy to milk, she said.
Mrs. Fleming said she was encouraged by the number of youth exhibitors this year, including Charlie and his 5-month-old brown Swiss calf.
She likes showing, Charlie said, giggling and shyly looking away.
His father, Todd R. Hyman of Hy-Light Farms, Adams, said this was Charlies first show.
Are you happy? Mr. Hyman asked his son. Are you super excited?
Charlie giggled and nodded.
Hes been working with the calf two to three times a week, Mr. Hyman said.
Ryan P. Gleisner, 12, of Willowbrook Farm, Philadelphia, has three years under his belt.
His junior yearling had more muscle and more stubbornness than Charlies, and was more difficult to handle.
You have to try to keep her walking at the same pace as you want her, he said. We wash her up, brush her and make sure shes all clean.
His family showed six cows this year.
The public is invited to visit the dairy tent and learn about farm life.
We enjoy being here to talk to the public and allowing them to see what farmers do, Mrs. Fleming said. It also gives farmers the chance to weigh their cattle against others.
Todays schedule at the fair includes a variety of 4-H shows, an ice cream eating contest, Disc-Connected K9s frisbee dog show, Bear Mountain Wildlife Encounter and a concert featuring the North Country Idol contestants. Gate admission is $5.

GIVING THANKS TO COACH GORDONTrio of Providence proteges say Go-Go delivered
As he continues his lessons post All-Star with Kyle Okposo, Josh Bailey and the rest of the kid Islanders, Scott Gordon is well-represented in the league by several young players who credit the coach for bringing them along.
Prior to his breakout this season, David Krejci developed under Gordon for a year and a half with Providence of the American Hockey League. The 22-year old Krejci spoke to Point Blank last week of the major impact Gordon had in his preparation for the NHL.
"Scott was my first professional coach," said the Czech Republic native, "and he helped me so much with the transition from junior (Gatineau of the Quebec League) to the pros. He taught me the importance of taking care of our own end on defense. We had a lot of one-on-one meetings where we looked at video and he helped me understand all the little details that can make you a great player."
For an offensive whiz like Krejci – 17 goals and 35 assists in 47 games with the Bruins this season – it was surprising to hear the kid talk of how he was aided by Gordon's psychological approach to the game.
"Confidence is a big deal for me," Krejci said. "That's important for a scorer and I think Scott realized that early on. Right from the beginning, he trusted me and believed in me. He told me what he expected from me, which was a lot. I appreciated that.
"It's nice to see so many of his young players from Providence doing so well in the NHL. I'm glad Coach made it. He deserved it. If the Islanders give him the time, he will get the job done."
In an interview with the Boston Globe, Chicago Blackhawks Young Star Kris Versteeg said his year-plus with Gordon in Providence was invaluable.
"I really enjoyed playing for Flash," said Versteeg, traded by Boston to Chicago for Brandon Bochenski and now flourishing in an up-tempo system. "He's unbelievable. I think he almost kick-started my career again. He put me out there in situations that, in my first year of pro hockey, I never thought I'd get to play in. I wish him all the best."
But sometimes you can get an even better read on a teacher not from Grade A stars like Krejci but from an overachieving B-level student. That's why when the Bruins were in town last week it was important to hunt down 5-11, 190-pound defenseman Matt Hunwick, a former 7th round pick.
"One of the biggest reasons I'm here is Gordo's hands-on approach," Hunwick (with his hands on Kyle Okposo, left) said in the Bruins' locker room at Nassau Coliseum. "There's a whole bunch of guys in this room who will tell you that, starting with a star like Dave Krejci.
"Especially for the Islanders' young players like Okposo and everyone else coming through the ranks, he's going to be so good. He'll stop practice and explain everything. He'll break it down for you one-on-one with video. He'll teach. Assuming he gets the time to bring their young players along, you'll see the benefits."
But the big question is, can Gordon's go-go approach work in the NHL?
"Of course it can. It does," said Hunwick. "Although we're not mirroring Gordo's system here, we're playing much more up-tempo now. And one of the great things about what he preaches is that you really learn how to play as a team. That's how it worked in Providence and I'm sure will work again for Scott at the next level."
ETC: The Islanders returned to practice today at Iceworks. Four players who missed games prior to the All-Star break practiced today: Doug Weight, Trent Hunter, Andy Hilbert and Chris Campoli. The team practices tomorrow morning at Iceworks with returning All-Star Mark Streit. With the Islanders' next game not until Thursday in Atlanta, it's unlikely the lineup – who stays in Bridgeport, who goes – will come into shape until at least Wednesday.

What is International Student Insurance?
Want to enhance your worldview and add a new dimension to your undergraduate or graduate studies? There's nothing quite like expanding your studies to a country other than your own to learn more than you ever could in a classroom. Experiencing other cultures first-hand can change your entire outlook on life. And while traveling abroad to a new country can be expensive and unpredictable, in a new country, international student insurance is designed to protect you from unexpected illnesses or accidents that may require medical attention while you pursue your education abroad. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) estimates that more than 3.4 million students are studying outside their home countries every year. Many of those students may have health insurance or government medical coverage in their home countries, but many health plans have strict limitations for students who are studying abroad. International student insurance helps fill the gaps in medical coverage while living and studying internationally.
Why Purchase International Student Health Insurance?
- Traveling without adequate medical coverage while you're studying overseas can be risky. A single injury or illness could leave you with large medical bills. You never know when you might need to see a doctor, visit an emergency room or fill a prescription. The out-of-pocket costs associated with these types of unexpected medical circumstances could be burdensome to your budget and your ability to pay tuition. International student health insurance ensures that you'll be protected financially from unforeseen health complications.
Who Needs International Student Insurance?
International student insurance is beneficial for any student living away from his or her home country while studying internationally. Most colleges and universities in the U.S. require international students to obtain health coverage while studying in America, as do many other institutions of higher learning around the world.
You Need International Student Insurance If:
- You are a domestic student studying internationally outside the U.S.
- You are an international student studying within the U.S. on a J-1 visa, F-1 Visa, or OPT
- You are a full-time student or scholar studying outside your home country
Types of Insurance for International Students
Insurance for international students is provided on a short-term basis. This short-term coverage allows for an easy, month-to-month payment plan with pricing based on the destination and level of benefits. Students may not have access to coverage while in their home countries, but coverage abroad is usually comprehensive. It's important for international students to seek out benefits that not only meet, but also exceed the requirements of the schools and governments in the countries they are visiting.
StudentSecure® International Student Insurance
StudentSecure insurance is specifically designed to meet the health coverage requirements of schools and governments around the world, including those imposed on students studying in the U.S. on an F-1 or J-1 visa. Coverage is guaranteed based on a worldwide network of doctors and medical facilities that provide comprehensive care. You will receive benefits according to the type of plan you choose, but you can expect:
StudentSecure Insurance
- Low deductibles (discounted for treatments administered in student health centers)
- Minimal out-of-pocket expenses
- Inpatient and outpatient coverage
- Coverage for ambulance transportation that results in inpatient treatment
- Coverage for injuries sustained while participating in collegiate or club sports
- Physical therapy benefits
- Coverage for pre-existing conditions following a waiting period
- Emergency Medical Evacuation coverage
Studying abroad is an investment in your education and future, but living internationally without insurance coverage – even for a short time – is a risky endeavor. Find out more about StudentSecure Insurance international student health insurance and get your free quote today.

Neti Pot and Salt 2 2
Ohio Allergies Ohio allergies started really early this year.....this Neti Pot is well glazed and looks nice sitting on a glass shelf in my bathroom and it is ready for use when I come inside from yard mowing and gardening. Best of all, it really seems to help diminish my stuffy head. Love it! April 30, 2013
No more sinusitis I use my neti pot after I brush my teeth each morning. If I am feeling a bit congested I use it again before bedtime. In summer I use it after mowing, weed-eating, or if I have been working with my chickens. I used to get really sick with frequent sinusitis but no longer have that problem. I recommend this to all my friends and they are beginning to get on the band wagon. It just makes all the difference. February 27, 2013

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Neti Pot and Salt …
"I have a history of many sinus infections. A few years ago, I was sick with them from September until August, and every time I got a sinus infection, I would get asthma and bronchitis. I was literally sick all the time, and my doctor offered nothing but antibiotics for help. Enter the Neti Pot! Using sea salt and tap water and rinsing once a day solved my sinus problems! So simple!" - Pepper, Glens Falls, NY

Summer starts tomorrow (officially), and we're already wondering where all the time went. Everybody's walking around New York City with ice cream and iced coffee, and the weather doesn't seem to be getting any cooler. We're just trying to keep working on cool projects.
One of these projects we've been quietly working on this spring is in collaboration with our friends at Blue Marble Ice Cream Company. Wiggles spent the first two weeks of this month working with their non-profit, Blue Marble Dreams, on their first project, Inzozi Nziza, in Butare, Rwanda.
Inzozi Nziza is an ice cream shop operated by a local women's cooperative. Wiggles traveled there to help them set-up and train them to operate a roaster donated by Irving Farm so they can roast for themselves some of the great coffees produced in the region. He also trained some of the women in by-the-cup brewing with Beehouse drippers. Now, in addition to their own ice cream, Inzozi Nziza is offering locally produced coffee that is roasted and brewed on-site.
Now we'd be set, if only Wiggles had learned as much about making ice cream as he was able to share about preparing coffee.
Next time…
For now, check out the excerpt below, taken from the Blue Marble Dreams blog. Click through to read more about Inzozi Nziza and Wiggle's trip.
The goal of this coffee project is to close the circle of the Rwandan coffee production. "A lot of the women working in the shop are already connected to the local coffee production. They have family members or friends who pick the coffee cherries or work at the local washing stations, yet none of the quality coffee is prepared here," Wiggles has observed. We therefore are aiming to improve the quality of the coffee served in Butare. "In Rwanda and most coffee producing countries, the best quality coffee is usually reserved for export. Even in big cities like Kigali, the coffee they serve is not of a high quality." By buying fresh local coffee and roasting it on site, we hope to amend this problem.
During the rest of his time here, Wiggles has focused on training the women at the shop. They have learned everything from the history of coffee, to the science behind roasting, to how to brew a simple cup. Irving Farm generously donated a high quality roaster that we have been roasting around 10oz a batch on. To brew the coffee we are using a single cup pour over system. This allows us to keep the coffee fresh and only grind beans directly before brewing it. The women are really excited to be starting this new coffee project, and soon we hope to offer a range of drinks and products around it.
We wish Inzozi Nziza happy roasting and happy brewing! We'll be staying tuned for more good news from Rwanda—we hope you will be, too!

President James Bullard presented a lively lecture in April entitled, "Hawks, Doves, Bubbles, and Inflation Targets," the latest in the series of annual George S. Eccles Distinguished Lectures that began at Utah State in 1974.
President Bullard is an economist and monetary policy scholar who has been with the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis since 1990 and has been president and CEO since 2008. He participates in the powerful Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which makes key decisions about interest rates and the growth of the U.S. money supply.
He explained the Fed's new explicit 2% inflation target and acknowledged that keeping interest rates too low for too long might lead to bubbles down the line. He described himself as "hawkish" on inflation, favoring early action against it.

Comments about Vater Colorwrap Nylon Tip Sticks - Pair:
I got a set of the blue sparkle 5A's on a whim, mostly for fun. I didn't expect they would become the main sticks I reached for in my stick bag every time but they did and I have some nice sticks in there. The length, balance, weight and overall feel of these sticks suits me perfect. So much I ordered another set (black optic) in 5B. Those are nice as well but I prefer the feel of the 5A's and I am going to order two more pairs (in red and gold sparkle). They also hold up pretty well, finish is getting chewed up by the hat edge as all stick do, but I haven't broken them yet and it's going on 2 months now (but then, I rarely break sticks). Don't let the "bling" fool you, these are surprisingly well crafted sticks.

Greetings Pastafarians,
First, I want to apologize for never actually using these forums. I am President and co-founder of a chapter of Pastafarians at the University of South Carolina. We've been steadily growing and doing big things here. Last February, for Darwin Day, we had a really big debate on the existence of God featuring Dan Barker of the Freedom From Religion Foundation and Kyle Butt from Apologetics Press. We're continuously trying to do more activities and spreading the Gospel of FSM (all articles or anything you've seen suggesting we are a group for secular students is Christian propaganda utilizing the stigma of secularism to attack the legitimacy of the church of FSM, mind you...)
Anyways, I'm posting for two reasons.
1) Be on the lookout for an article in the NY Times next week. No promises, just be on the lookout. Winning the American Atheists Founder's Scholarship tends to get a lot of attention from the media.
2) Pastafarians at USC is participating in the Relay for Life, something we figured would be a great way of reaching people with the message of the FSM in a positive way. We've already reached our modest goal of $300, but we'd like to raise more. If you're feeling generous, why not donate to a great cause?
I plan to do a lap in full pirate regalia for the theme lap. I will also have a pin the noodle on the spaghetti monster game in which participants win prizes. There will be a small entry fee to raise money for research.
Our relay page is here:
Thank you
Andrew Cederdahl
