In the year-plus quest that has taken Ryan Kalish to the far reaches of dealing with injuries and back again, the Red Sox outfield prospect has learned that it's best to not get his spirits up too much or sink too low. On the subject of looking ahead, i.e. placing a definitive date on when he might return to game action, Kalish prefers to stay in the moment.
When team officials inform Kalish that he's passed every single checkpoint, only then will he be allowed to vacate the Fort Myers, Fla. premise that's served as his holding cell for some time now.

PAWTUCKET – According to head coach Craig Giarrusso, his Tolman High squad more than felt the effects of its first defeat of the season, a 4-3 decision to previously-unbeaten host East Greenwich, on Wednesday afternoon.
Just 24 hours after, the Tigers took on Exeter/West Greenwich in another Division II crossover tilt at Slater Park's Bailey Field, and looked a bit dazed through the first four-plus frames.

The suspect has been identified as Jamie Coyle, who has addresses in both Pawtucket and Attleboro, Pawtucket Police said.
Call it a case of all's well that ends well as Aaron Cook is officially a member of the Boston Red Sox.
Reached Wednesday night, Joe Bick, Cook's agent, says he went ahead and filed the necessary "opt-out notification" paperwork shortly after the clock struck midnight and the calendar read May 2, one day following the May 1 opt-out clause that the veteran pitcher had written into the minor-league deal he signed back in January.

PROVIDENCE — It seems like almost yesterday, but it was on Oct. 14, 2006 when Classic Entertainment & Sports, Inc. presented a marquee intracity duel between Providence super middleweights and bitter rivals Peter Manfredo Jr. and Joe "The K.O. Kid" Spina that generated a ton of buzz across the state and packed the Dunkin' Donuts Center.
PAWTUCKET — With the St. Raphael Academy boys' volleyball team trailing 17-10 in the third, and what proved to be the final, game Tuesday night, head coach April Oberhelman called a timeout to discuss strategy.
After she finished her soliloquy, junior Steve Carvalho and senior Connor Harrington began stomping to their own version of Queen's "We Will Rock You."
Stomp, stomp, clap! Stomp, stomp, clap!
Team statistician Pauline Tougas, whose son, senior John Tougas, co-captains the squad with junior Brandon Dasilveira, turned around, laughing.

SEEKONK — Leftover contaminants fueled a smoky blaze that destroyed a vacant Seekonk mill and made for a long and exhausting day in the rain on Tuesday for area firefighters.

China, North Korea, Russia, and Iran have shown substantial growth in their Integrated Air Defense and Surface-to-Air Missile programs, posing a significant threat to the air superiority long enjoyed by the United States and its allies.
The Association of Old Crows and the Defense Intelligence Agency's Missile and Space Intelligence Center come together at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Ala., to present Performance & Vulnerabilities of Modern IADs/SAMs Conference.
Scheduled for June 19-21, this three-day symposium provides an in-depth review of technical analysis of both modern IADs and SAMs. Discussions cover threat system capabilities and vulnerabilities, status of new development programs, and identify the current and projected proliferation of high-interest air defense systems.
Presentations include detailed scientific and technical theory of operation, characteristics and performance assessments, and vulnerabilities. The information is pertinent for weapons developers, Electronic Attack/Electronic Program developers and users, cyber operations planners and operators, as well as other SAM and IAD analysts in the community. In addition to technical SAM presentations, an overview of the air defense network, command and control details, and some early warning radars specific to Iran and North Korea will be discussed. This conference is designed to specifically address modern IADs and SAM system performance and theory of operation but also deals with operational aspects of SAM system testing, training, and doctrine.
Spanning three days in a classified setting, attendance at this event is vital for those involved in the design, development, testing, evaluation and employment of electronic warfare systems, cyber operations in theater, techniques and tactics for protection of U.S. and allied aircraft and RPAs.

Kicking off Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup in Toronto with Molson Canadian Red Leaf ProjectShare Tweet
Our first Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup (GCSC) took place last Wednesday in Toronto, ON at Marie Curtis Park. Approximately 60 Molson Coors employees rolled up their sleeves and spent two hours cleaning up the park which includes a beach area right on Lake Ontario. After getting our hands dirty and collecting some interesting items, the team celebrated "doing some good" with some "awesome" = cold beers
This was the first of many shoreline cleanups coming up this month as part of Molson Coors Water Stewardship Month and a continuation of the Molson Canadian Red Leaf Project, a national sponsor of the GCSC.
We hope you'll join us for a Red Leaf Project/Shoreline Cleanup! Check our website to find the location nearest you. Not one in your area? Click here to join or organize your own in your community. Cheers!

Are there limited number of words we can append a
're to?
Are the following words correct:
- where're
- here're
Are there limited number of words we can append a
Are the following words correct:
In English, are contracts to 're. Technically, you can use a contraction wherever you might normally use the full, written out word. However, you should be very careful when doing this. Contractions are:
In short, you can use those contractions, and you can technically affix "'re" to any word which is followed by are. However, use caution for the reasons above.
The written contraction 're is appropriate where the spoken form that is being represented has contracted the word are into an /r/ sound attached to the preceding syllable. For instance, they're represents a pronunciation that is the same as, or very close to, the pronunciation of there and their.
In a case like a spoken sequence like Where are you going? in which the word are is not fully enunciated, you'll nonetheless notice the /r/ sound does not attach to the preceding syllable (where), but has its own vowel sound. Hence Where are you going? is the appropriate written form. (Note it is common to speak without the word are at all; to represent that, where you going? would be right).
Technically, in written speech, contractions are generally not used in written works. However, in spoken speech, any contraction goes, that is, as long as it makes sense to the audience. Thus, in spoken speech, there isn't really a limit of words to which

Lately, a couple of us in Reno,NV have started a new way of having our FSM gatherings.
Given the FSM's love of wenches and the population of heaven with strippers, we have begun having occasional meetings at local strip clubs.
Besides being a really good time, it has been an interesting experiment in sociology. We have done some fieldwork, exploring when and where the best places & times to go, even found a place that has 'Happy Hour Lap Dance" specials for $5/LD. ( Consider it a form of Communion.) We have a few beers, hoisted in His name, relax and share some 'fellowship'.
Lest you think this is just some crazy chauvinist thing, the women ( excuse me, wenches) outnumber the men ( pirates) 2:1 in our group. (It has been a very eye-opening experience for us ). We've also had to find out which clubs allow women in alone or must be accompanied by men ( talk about chauvinist!!!)
Anyway, if you're up for some fun adventure and a novel 'spiritual' experience, try it with your fellow Pastafarians.
Any other Reno area worshipers, contact me here if you want to know when/where we'll be having fellowship again.

So the other night in my internet browsing I stumbled across a movie with a description so bizarre I had to seek it out and watch it. The Dragon Lives Again (AKA Deadly Hands of Kung Fu) is one of those movies they made in the 70's to cash in on the success of Bruce Lee's career after he passed away.
As the movie starts we witness Bruce Lee (or an actor that looks even less like Bruce Lee then Lynda Carter) waking up in Hell after dying. Makes sense right? And of course it's a "Bruce Lee" movie so he has to fight some bad guys right? OF COURSE! And just who are the bad guys "Bruce" has to fight? James Bond with a curly fro, The Godfather, The Exorcist, Emmanuelle of North Europe (yes that Emmanuelle), Dracula and an Asian Clint Eastwood in full western costume.
Phew! that's a mouth full! And if that's not enough to convince you to see this movie "Bruce" has his own posse of warriors to aid him against the forces of evil: Kain from Kung-Fu (actually played by a Chinese guy this time) and Popeye the Sailor Man.
Still not cool enough for you? Did I mention "Bruce" fights mummies and skeletons? How about gratuitous "cameos" by Toshiro Mifune and Laurel & Hardy? Well actors playing them at least...
Must see...

The Dragon Lives Again: The Greatest Movie Ever Made!

Actually, since Emmanuelle is, based on the understanding I get from having caught a few of the movies and reading up on her other appearances, the essence of womanhood, and thus can be practically any sexually liberated woman, i'm surprised it took so long for her and Bond to hook up, since Bond seems to hit on any sexually active (or is on the verge of being so) that's of legal age.
Of course that Hell doesn't seem so bad, that's just for the tourists. Get your hell souvenirs, just remember the tourist areas are like they are here, the only nice place that those in charge keep up.
BTW, did they make a sequel when his sone joined him in the afterlife?

Ooooooh now that'd be some Bond movie! Bond vs Emmanuelle! That so needs to happen. As far as his son joining him in hell that wouldn't be possible as at the end of the movie the king of hell restores Bruce Lee's life. So he's out there somewhere being spotted by old ladies at 7-11's just like Elvis.
As far as hellish souvenirs I have a spoon collection, wonder if I can get a spoon? Of course I suppose the metal would be all melty but hey that'd would be part of the charm!
Okay I'm coming to Florida and we are going to make this movie ;)

GORDON BULLISH ON GOALIE PROSPECTSCoach says he's never had a group as capable
10:45 pm – "Mikko's going to go to Binghamton for a game with the Sound Tigers and wonder what happened to the rest of the rink."
That was Scott Gordon tonight, talking about freshly-signed Mikko Koskinen. I wanted to speak to Scott about his goalie prospects because the signing of the 2009 second round pick made it timely. But also because of this eyebrow-raiser comment of his after the scrimmage on Sunday:
I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a camp anywhere like this where you'd see the quality of goaltending we have here now.
In his rookie season as head coach, Gordon threw around compliments about his goalies like manhole covers.
"The entire time I was in the Boston Bruins organization, we had some quality players like Tuukka Rask, but we never had the quality of goaltending prospects we have here," the Islanders head coach said tonight.
In Prospect minicamp this week are Koskinen, 2009 third round pick Anders Nilsson, 2008 fifth round pick Kevin Poulin and Nathan Lawson, a pleasant surprise last season with the Sound Tigers. The Islanders also recently signed free agent netminder Scott Munroe from the Flyers organization.
"The biggest thing for me is, they haven't shown that they're not capable," said Gordon, a former goaltender. "They're not doing the sort of things you see when goalies aren't ready or capable…flopping around, rolling around, diving around. They're under control and playing smart. Collectively, they look terrific."
Gordon's snapshot of each…
Koskinen: "This is not a guy who is green. He's played against top-calibre competition in the Finnish League. He's almost 21. I'm excited that he's signed and want to see how he comes around this season. The ability is certainly there."
Nilsson: "No matter how good you are, size is a big weapon. Nilsson and Koskinen, they use it to their advantage. They're technically sound. They're in the right spots and letting the puck hit them. Nilsson's only 18 so he'll have time to develop back home, but these are two good young goalies."
Lawson: "He made an immediate impact in Bridgeport. That was impressive. He's continued it with a good week with us."
Poulin: "Thought he had an excellent first camp with us last September. He might have been able to get some games after his Quebec League season ended, but we decided to hold off. Talented, more than capable."
Munroe: "I know him from Philadelphia. He's been a real solid AHL goalie for a few years. This is a good opportunity for him."
I asked Gordon about Koskinen's determination to play in the Islanders' system right away.
"That was great to see, how much he wanted to be in Bridgeport" said the coach. "He's right. There are a lot of differences between the big sheets in Europe and the small rinks here. The plays develop quickly. He's going to see more shots. He's going to see that arena in Binghamton and think he's on the small rink at Iceworks."
ETC: Turns out Koskinen was signed today because he had to be signed by Wednesday. A league source told Point Blank tonight that there was a July 15 deadline in Koskinen's contract with Espoo in the Finnish League. If the Islanders failed to sign him by Wednesday, he would have been contractually obligated to play one more year back home.

Mother's Day dining: 12 good bets
Big families have much to be thankful for. And, not surprisingly, much to contend with -- at least when it comes to finding a restaurant that can seat Mom and the whole gang on Mother's Day. Some requirements: A table that can hold parties larger than eight. An early meal, since the kids have school the next day. Also crucial: A menu offering good dollar value as well as appealing choices for the younger set.
All of these eateries welcome large groups. But, since your family may not be the only bunch going out for French toast, frittatas and fried calamari, make sure to reserve as far in advance as possible. -- JOAN REMINICK, email@example.com

A lot has changed in the last 10 years in Jefferson County agriculture: population has increased in the county; wineries and vineyards have been introduced along with artisan cheeses; the Greek yogurt boom has changed the dynamic of the dairy business, and agritourism has expanded.
To better understand how these and other trends are affecting the countys farmland, the Jefferson County Planning Department is asking the state Department of Agriculture and Markets for $37,500 to help it update its Agricultural and Farmland Protection plan, which was last done in 2002.
The agriculture industry in Jefferson County contributes more than $150 million to the local economy every year, according to the 2002 plan.
The plan serves as both a reference and a blueprint, according to Jefferson County agricultural coordinator Jay M. Matteson.
It helps the county understand the strengths and weaknesses of the agriculture industry, identify opportunities and mitigate threats.
The study, which will cost $75,000, will be paid for with a $37,500 grant from the states Agriculture and Markets Department, a 20 percent cash match of $7,500 from the county and $30,000 worth labor from the countys planning staff, according to county Director of Planning Donald A. Canfield.
The application will be submitted either this week or early next week, according to senior planner Michael J. Bourcy.
There is no set timeline for when the county will hear back from the state, but assuming the proposal is approved, the whole process would take about a year to complete, Mr. Matteson said.
It will involve hiring a consultant through a competitive process and working with several private, public and nonprofit organizations, including the Jefferson County Soil and Water Conservation District, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Jefferson County, the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency, the Tug Hill Commission and others, to survey farmers and other residents about their perceptions of agriculture as well as to measure empirical data about how land is being used.
To proceed with the application process, the Planning Department had to secure a resolution from the Jefferson County Board of Legislators, which it did at the end of April.
County Legislator John D. Peck, R-Great Bend, is a dairy farmer.
Its a very important issue and its good to see the county taking it seriously, he said.
Mr. Peck said the plan would help the county by continuing the farmland protection board, which gives farmers protection from residential pressures and legal disputes that can arise over manure spreading or tractor noise.
The plan also encourages the county to educate its residents about the importance of agriculture, something Mr. Peck said is increasingly important given the dwindling percentage of the population directly involved in agriculture.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, of the 313 million people who live in the United States, fewer than 1 percent claim farming as an occupation and about 2 percent actually live on farms.
According to the 2002 plan, there are 801,878 acres of land in Jefferson County. It said 36.30 percent of that land 291,103 acres is used for agricultural production.

NFL rejects Jets, Giants request to keep rivals from using facilities
As part of their bid for Super Bowl XLVIII, the Jets and Giants proposed the AFC team use the Giants facility and the NFC team use the Jets facility, Gary Myers of the New York Daily News reports. The reasons were clear: The Jets were not thrilled at the prospect of the Patriots descending upon Florham Park and the Giants were not necessarily excited about the Cowboys, Redskins or Eagles checking into their facility for the week in East Rutherford.
The NFL has final say on who practices where and the suggestions by the Giants and Jets were rejected. It's standard Super Bowl practice that when an AFC team is hosting the game, the AFC team practices at their facility. And the NFC team practices at the NFC facility when they are hosting. So the NFL is just following protocol.
According to the NFL, the Super Bowl teams have access to the entire building — within reason. Super Bowl teams have used meeting rooms for office space and position and team meetings with the players. They do not use the coaches offices, although the host team historically give their coaches the week off. Imagine Ryan walking into his office and finding Belichick in his bathroom.

With 300+ days of sunshine per year, Colorado is ideal for solar activity. And, according to Solar Friendly Communities the hardware costs of rooftop solar systems—such as panels—have dropped up to 70 percent in just three years. Yet, the "soft'' costs such as permitting, installation, regulatory and other related costs have not dropped and now account for up to 40 percent of the total cost of rooftop solar system. Streamlining processes and bringing those costs down makes solar a more affordable option.
Solar Friendly Communities is led by the Colorado Solar Energy Industries Association (COSEIA) as one of 22 Rooftop Solar Challenge teams funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's SunShot Initiative.
Each month, the City's Office of Sustainability has sponsored a lunch-n-learn topic on an environmental issue.

By KEN LARSONSun Advocate publisher
On November 12, 2004 Amanda Wood of Hooper, was elk hunting with her father and uncle near Flaming Gorge and Dutch John area, up near the Wyoming border when she found a balloon and "drug free" message sent from Carbon High School in late October. The 14-year-old junior high student was excited to find the message because her school also let balloons go and in her letter back to Carbon High she said that one of her balloons went all the way to New York. Her closing comment was "Remember Stay Drug Free."
Jake Weber from Lander, Wyo. found a similar card attached to a balloon, "in the middle of no-where and I am happy to return it to you all." No-where for Weber was in the Green Mountains about five miles from Jeffrey City, Wyo. He attached a map showing the vicinity of the message.
But it was a third letter that arrived Dec 27, 2004 to high school counselor Melissa Swenson. The card, ribbon and balloon was found while a lady was hiking 11 miles north of LaPoint, which is about 20 miles west of Vernal and 18 miles north of Roosevelt.
The message tugged at my heart as I read it. "Together, my husband and I have eight children, seven of them have used illegal drugs. Four of them have used drugs harsher than marijuana. In every case, a beautiful and promising life was damaged. We have grandchildren who were used for the purchase of drugs. The drugs have their own way of reasoning, rationalizing and lying. No one can trust a druggie. A druggie will always defend (their) use; a druggie will lie at (any) cost and be believed by most. Drugs have destroyed our family. Drugs have destroyed the lives of three of our granddaughters."
"How can our example be for naught? We spent Thanksgiving without family. Christmas will be the same way. Not a day goes by that our hearts are not torn by the great sadness drugs have played in our lives."
"If this letter can help to inspire even one life to "Say no to drugs" then we will know the great tragedy we as a family have experienced will be worth it.
"One single word can save your whole life. "No" make it, "no today, tomorrow, and forever. Just say no. Our hearts are yours."
I couldn't have said it any better or any different. From a person whose entire youth was affected by a drunken father, I understand her pain. I can't remember the number of ruined holidays and sleepless nights I wasted as a little boy because my father wasn't able to say no. The disease of alcoholism (and drug abuse) may have destroyed his life but it affected many others along the way.
When the balloons are launched or found, they are reminders how drug abuse and alcoholism can be prevented. Saying no may be hard but the pain that follows is much harder.

Approaches to Teaching Shorter Elizabethan Poetry
Editor(s): Patrick Cheney, Anne Lake Prescott
Pages: xiv & 331 pp.
Published: 2000
ISBN: 9780873527545 (paperback)
ISBN: 9780873527538 (hardcover)
"I wish something like this had been available when I started out! But I'm glad it's available now, because even after twenty years of teaching this poetry I find myself repeatedly instructed and inspired by the wealth of ideas and information Cheney and Prescott have managed to assemble."
David Lee Miller, author,
The Poem's Two Bodies: The Poetics of the 1590
Faerie Queene, and coeditor,
The Production of English Renaissance Culture
"There is very specific advice about what to do in the classroom useful for both those teaching Elizabethan poetry for the first time and for experienced teachers wanting to vary their repertory."
Lauren Silberman, author,
Transforming Desire: Erotic Knowledge in Books III and IV of the
Faerie Queene
Teaching Elizabethan poems, Patrick Cheney and Anne Lake Prescott tell us in their preface to this book, "can provide pleasure and insight, but it can also be a challenge: modern students, and even modern teachers, sometimes find shorter Elizabethan poems aesthetically or emotionally engaging but culturally remote and intellectually difficult." This collection of essays presents materials and strategies for helping students and teachers share in the enjoyment of Elizabethan poetry, including verse by authors such as Thomas Campion, John Donne, Michael Drayton, Elizabeth I, George Gascoigne, Ben Jonson, Christopher Marlowe, Walter Ralegh, Mary Sidney, Philip Sidney, William Shakespeare, John Skelton, Edmund Spenser, the earl of Surrey, Mary Wroth, and Thomas Wyatt.
Like other books in the Approaches to Teaching World Literature series, this volume is divided into two parts. Part 1, "Materials," suggests texts and anthologies for use in the classroom and identifies important background resources and critical studies for the instructor. From this profusion of information, the coeditor, Patrick Cheney, recommends a convenient list of items for the instructor in a hurry. Part 2, "Approaches," contains thirty-seven essays on teaching individual poems and authors or a selection of poems, as well as developing an entire course using a coherent critical narrative.

The rising cost of gas has prompted a public outcry in the U.S., something that the White House has looked to push back against as an adviser defended President Barack Obama over the pain at the pump argument made by the GOP, The Washington Times reported.
According to the news outlet, Obama spoke to the lack of Presidential power when it comes to energy prices in his weekly address on February 26, but Republicans attacked this notion, prompting a reply from one of the President's campaign advisers.
"There are a series of people that want [to] tell you that there are very easy magic-bullet solutions to the problems that we face. We know that's not true," Robert Gibbs said in an interview with CNN.
Gibbs also spoke to the potential move by the White House to tap the nation's emergency oil supply, the Strategic Petroleum Reserves. This move would help to ease rising prices and was suggest by Democratic Congressmen, according to the Times.
Reuters reported that the national average cost for a gallon regular gasoline rose to $3.69, according to a survey of gas stations across the U.S.
