Recreation has grown exponentially in the Pisgah and Nantahala national forests during the past 20 years, fueled in part by the number of people moving to the mountains precisely that reason: because they like getting outdoors.
In fact, the Pisgah and Nantahala national forests lead the nation in outdoor recreation. Only White Mountain National Forest in Colorado technically has more national forest visitors — but only technically. Mary Noel, planning officer for the Pisgah and Nantahala forests, is quick to point out that White Mountain counts all the visitors to the myriad ski slopes there, inflating the ranks of national forest users, compared to the Pisgah and Nantahala's far more broad-based recreation numbers.
Outdoor recreation afforded by the Pisgah and Nantahala, and the quality of life it provides, has proven integral to WNC's economy, and not just its tourist appeal. The three major microbreweries that have announced facilities in the greater Asheville area — bringing with them hundreds of new jobs — all cited outdoor recreation as a prime factor in their decision to come here.
"If you asked the average person living in WNC who moved here in the past 10 years and said 'Why did you move here?' the Nantahala and Pisgah would rank pretty high on the list," said Brent Martin, the Southern Appalachian field director of The Wilderness Society, based in Sylva.
The pressure of outdoor recreation on the national forests will likely take center stage as the forest service launches a sweeping review of its management plan and policies starting early next year. The process will take four years, and engage a broad spectrum of public input, funneling the sometimes competing ideals, uses and visions of the Pisgah and Nantahala into a blueprint for how the national forests are managed.
"Everyone who lives in WNC has an investment in the outcome," Martin said.
The sheer number of hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, birding, fishing, horseback riding and environmental groups who will be angling for a seat at the table during the process is staggering. There are at least a couple hundred clubs and organizations with a stake in the national forest lands.
"It's a challenge for a group like The Wilderness Society that is trying to get everybody on the same page," Martin said. "There are so many people you need a huge piece of paper to get everyone on that page."
It's a far different landscape from the last forest planning process 20 years ago.
"The vast majority of these groups didn't exist," Martin said.
Not all outdoor recreation groups have the same views about what the national forests should look like.
"It is hard for everybody to get out there and enjoy the same patch of woods so to speak," said Jeff Johnson, a ruffed grouse hunter and president of the Macon County chapter of the Ruffed Grouse Society. "The horsebacker and the hiker and mountain bikers all have their needs and the right to enjoy their experience."
Martin would like recreation interests to enter the process as a united front, working toward shared desires rather than collapsing into turf battles.
"I have no doubt we will have disagreements among ourselves about certain things but hopefully they will be so minor that a productive dialog can get us through those disagreements without disagreeing exactly," Martin said. "It is more of an art than a science."
That elicited a resounding "hear, hear!" from Robert Acton, a mountain biker from Bryson City with the Nantahala chapter of the Southern Off-Road Mountain Biking Association.
"We have to get past the animosity of the groups," Acton said. "We have common goals here so lets not get pissy. We all want our trails to work so lets find a way to work toward the same goal."
Logging takes a backseat
Recreation is a relative newcomer to the national forest scene here. For decades, logging was king. Indeed, that's why the Pisgah and Nantahala national forests were created a century ago: to provide a steady supply of timber.
The national forest service managed the vast woodlands like a farmer might manage his crop fields, harvesting and replenishing tracts on a rotating schedule.
Intense public opposition has dramatically halted logging over the past two decades, however.
"Timber harvesting is down in North Carolina national forests by about 65 percent from where it was 30 years ago," said Stevin Westcott, spokesperson for the Pisgah and Nantahala national forests.
Meanwhile, outdoor recreation and environmental interests have surged.
"Twenty years ago we would have been worried about the timber industry. Recreation is now the big demand on this forest," Martin said.
The national forest plan on the books now, however, harkens back to the '80s and '90s, before recreation was as dominant as it is now and when forest managers were more logging centric. That's why Martin sees this forest plan as a golden opportunity.
"Definitely it is a different forest than it was when the last forest plan was issued," Martin said. "This is an opportunity to realign the management of the Nantahala and Pisgah with the current realities of Western North Carolina."
While hikers and wilderness lovers might favor old-growth stands, hunters often value clearings that provide food for wildlife — and that means logging. Johnson believes logging has been curtailed too much in most areas of the Nantahala and Pisgah. Logging makes way for forests to regenerate, and those younger forest types support different species than older forests.
Encroaching development
The demand for outdoor recreation on the national forests has been exacerbated by the loss of private forest land in recent years.
Forest cover across the South is forecasted to decline by as much 23 million acres over the next 50 years. Meanwhile, population in the South could climb by 40 percent over the same period, according to Southern Forest Futures Project unveiled by the U.S. Forest Service and partners last year.
"The loss of private land will create added pressures on public land," Westcott said. "It will continue to be an issue in Western North Carolina."
The loss of open space, particularly private forest lands, means the national forests are not only more important to the growing ranks of outdoor recreation, but are also increasingly important as a safe haven for species.
The point was an easy one to make during a recent Wilderness Society hike Martin led through the Fishhawk mountains in Macon County. As the trail emerged from the forest onto a rocky, wind-swept bluff, the dozen or so hikers on this Wilderness Society trek walked out to the edge and surveyed the Tessentee Valley below.
The scene was not one of wilderness, but instead of farms, houses and country roads.
"The ridge line we are walking is somewhat a fractured piece," Martin said.
Human presence is not new on the landscape. Indeed, it has been here for thousands of years, dating back to the Cherokee's vast network of farms and villages throughout WNC's river valleys.
But the way humans are occupying the mountains today is far different.
True, there's still a lot of green on a map of WNC. But as development continues its march, those green tracts are becoming forested islands — whether islands of wildlife habitat or islands of recreation — in an increasingly human-dominated landscape.
"Everyone wants to move here. We look at the map and see the developed areas getting bigger and bigger," Martin said.
What is the forest planning process?
The Pisgah and Nantahala national forests will embark on a massive planning process later this year that will ultimately shape how 1.1 million acres of public lands in the mountains are managed.
The plan will lay out a vision, goals and values for the Pisgah and Nantahala. The forest plan dictates logging activity, recreational uses, trail maintenance and wilderness area designation. It will address everything from wind turbines to ginsing harvesting in the forests, as well as ecological concerns like the impact of global warming on forest species or the after-affects of the hemlock die backs.
The current forest plan dates to the 1980s and 1990s.
Explore Mountain Treasures
The Wilderness Society in conjunction with the Carolina Mountain Club is holding a year-long series of hikes and camporees to connect outdoor lovers with special places in the national forests.
A weekend filled with hiking and camping will be held in the Nantahala National Forest July 13-15, exploring the Fires Creek, Wayah, Cheoah and Nantahala Gorge areas.
The public is invited to come camp for the weekend, or join in for any of the day hikes. Go to www.carolinaMountainClub.org and click on "hiking" and then "camporees."

Consider it the surfing equivalent of being the first to climb Mount Everest.
On Monday, Jan. 28 off the coast of Portugal, Garrett McNamara may have been towed into the largest wave ever documented on film. Estimated at 100 feet, the massive mountain of water was the result of a powerful swell that struck the small, picturesque town of Nazare.
McNamara, 45, and tow-in partner Keali'i Mamala, 34, tracked the swell for about a week before traveling half-way around the globe from their homes in Hawaii for a chance at wave-riding history.
"That morning everything was coming together exactly as we had planned and I was focused on surfing another spot that hadn't been ridden, and it doesn't break until it's much bigger," explained McNamara. "I told Keali'i we're waiting until low-tide, and then if the wave breaks, we're going to get it."
Mamala said the set that produced the giant wave was among the largest of the day. He watched in awe as McNamara let go of the tow rope and plunged into the belly of the liquid beast.
"I look down and he starts disappearing, and he's not even half-way down the wave," said Mamala. "It's what we've been looking for, searching for the 100 foot wave."
Amazingly, McNamara said the ride didn't provide the kind of thrill he expected. He says the wave appeared bottomless, but didn't break with the kind of power he expected.
"It didn't feel like what I was looking for, but it was definitely the biggest wave I've ever ridden," said McNamara. "I've surfed it over and over in my mind a million times, and the ride I got on that wave was nothing like what I envisioned."
So, how will McNamara satisfy his seemingly insatiable thirst for larger, more powerful waves? Go back to Nazare when the time is right, of course. A deep-water canyon extending 130 miles west of the town amplifies swells to the point that a riding 150 or 200 foot wave may be possible.
"If the conditions are right, I think you can ride any size wave," said McNamara. "I've gotten to a point in my life where I don't have to ride them anymore, but I just do it because I love it. The more I get pounded, the more fun I'm having. If I see giant waves, I'm like a kid in a candy store."
"It's just a little piece of what Nazare has to offer," Mamala said of the recent swell. "It can handle as big as it gets, and that kind of makes me a little scared. There was one wave that day that I told Garrett I don't want at all. This thing was top to bottom, 80 maybe 100 feet. I said I'm going to pass this one up today, and maybe ride it some other time."
McNamara found out firsthand the kind of danger big-wave surfers face when challenging swells at Nazare. The wave crashes toward cliffs hundreds of feet high, and when McNamara kicked out of his possibly record-breaking ride, he was only 10 or 20 feet from the rocks.
"I didn't realize where I was," said McNamara. "It would have been certain death."
Mamala meanwhile, had lost control of his WaveRunner and was swimming toward the watercraft when he saw a second crew race toward McNamara and pick him up.
"They got Garrett already and they're coming back out, and I'm like, 'Oh my god, thank you for watching over us."

PAWTUCKET – A state Health Department disciplinary board has suspended a local dentist's authority to prescribe controlled substances after providing himself and others with drugs that have nothing to do with pulling teeth.
In one incident, Demetrius James Photopoulos, D.D.S., prescribed the growth hormone omnitrope to a three-year-old in 2012, said the Board of Examiners in Dentistry. The child was given the drug for five months.
The omnitrope incident was one of five examples the board cited in which Photopoulos allegedly prescribed drugs outside the practice of dentistry. The board said he had improperly prescribed medications to himself and controlled substances to a family member.
A disciplinary order released Thursday by the Department of Health did not identify the drugs in the latter cases. In addition to the omnitrope incident, however, the order said Photopoulos prescribed testosterone to a 22-year-old man in June 2011 and oxandrolone, an anabolic steroid, to a 14-year-old girl, in January 2009.
"The Respondent has a pattern of prescribing controlled substances to patients in a manner that does not meet the standards of acceptable practice," the board said. "The public health, safety or welfare imperatively requires emergency action."
Health Director Michael Fine signed off an an order to suspend Photopoulos's controlled substance registration Wednesday pending an administrative hearing.
Photopoulos practices dentistry from an office located at 123 School St. A graduate of the Georgetown University School of Dentistry, he was licensed as a dentist in Rhode Island in 1968.

Tighter restrictions proposed on sulfur content will add a penny or less to the retail price of a gallon of gasoline, according to the Obama administration, while the oil industry contends those same rules could hike prices at the pump as much as nine cents per gallon. The new regulations would reduce pollution by the equivalent of taking 33 million cars off the road, administration officials claim, while lowering healthcare costs by reducing incidents of respiratory illnesses caused in part by poor air quality.
While noting that the proposal by the federal Environmental Protection Agency is in "the proposal stage not in the final rulemaking stage," deputy presidential press secretary Josh Earnest cited research by the EPA when telling reporters that the impact on the price of gas would probably be a penny or less per gallon. The benefits, he said, would include "tens of thousands fewer cases of respiratory ailments like asthma in children and thousands of lives saved," according to the EPA analysis. The administration claimed the proposed standards would prevent as many as 2,400 deaths a year and save between $8 billion to $23 billion a year in health costs by 2030.
The American Petroleum Institute, representing oil companies, said the proposed rule would add to a "tsunami of federal regulations" and would ultimately raise greenhouse-gas emissions because of the energy-consuming equipment it would take to bring refineries into compliance.
"We urge the administration to bring common sense back into the regulatory process," said Bob Greco, director of the API's Downstream Group. "Unnecessary regulations just mean higher costs and lost jobs."
Regulations now limit sulfur content in gasoline to ten parts per million in smog-ridden California, but up to 30 parts per million in all other states. The new rule would impose the California standard on the entire nation. The lower limit is said to make catalytic converters in automobile exhaust systems more effective in reducing the emissions of particles that cause smog and soot.

The city Planning Department got the go-ahead Tuesday for work to begin on repairing the crumbling bowl-shaped stone fountains in front of Roswell P. Flower Memorial Library.
To keep the public out during construction, crews placed orange construction fencing in the front yard of the Washington Street landmark Tuesday morning and started doing work later in the day.
Contractor Raymond E. Kelley Inc., Seneca Falls, will be paid $253,400 to complete the work. The project will restore the fountains to what they were like when library benefactor Emma Flower Taylor had them installed in 1906, two years after the library opened.
Its the first restoration project for the fountains in about a decade, city planner Andrew T. Nichols said. The concrete basins will be removed and replaced with new ones, and the coping stones foundation will be reset. The structures also are getting a new water line and spray mechanism.
Its going to be almost entirely rebuilt, Mr. Nichols said.
In May, bids came in about $31,000 higher than budgeted.
Work includes restoring the cracked facade of the building, the marble front steps, fencing near the public sidewalk and one of the stone lions that greet library visitors. The project should be finished by fall.
Council members had hoped to have the project completed last year, but it had to be delayed after the city received no bids. This time, the Seneca Falls firm and three others submitted bids.
The city engineering office also said last year that it made sense to complete the facade and steps first and then have the fountains done, so they would not be damaged by crews in the process of the other work.
Visitors will be prohibited from walking on the lawn and sidewalk in front of the library until construction is finished. The buildings front entrance has been closed to the public for more than a year because of fears that the soffit could become loose and fall off.

Great dress, so comfy
I purchased this dress last summer, it's a very comfy material draping perfect on your body. I'm 5'4" 138 pounds, 34C/36D bust, have small hips 35 inches size 2-4 jeans. I got this in a Medium to fit bust area it fits well, with a lil extra room in the hip area it still looks great on. I've gotten lots of compliment.

Too Small for Size
I can normally fit Size 16s but ordered an 18. It was way too tight and unflattering. I also didn't like the look of the lace print once I received the dress.

too big for the size
I really love that dress. However, it is way too big. I am going to alter it so it can be more form fitting since it is shapeless. the cut is just like a long straight line. But the dress is really pretty and i would wear it for work (office work).

I'm new to all the PHP, Apache, MySQL stuff. At work I have been asked to build an internal web site for a client using PHP, Apache, MySQL, but i've never used any of those before. I am however familiar with ASP and Coldfusion. So I thought someone could explain to me exactly what these technologies are by comparing it with ASP or Coldfusion, and showing the difference between them. This way I could have a good idea what it is. I'm guessing PHP is the server-side scripting language used on Apache servers? And MySQL I have no Idea. I know how to use SQL so I know it has something to do with databases.
Second, I'm using Windows 2000, and my site has to be compatible with Linux or Wintel platforms and Netscape/IE/Mozilla browsers. The client says their corporate DB is Oracle8i, except for one of the places the site will be deployed, so the client says it'll be safer developing DB based applications using PHP via ODBC to connect to any RDBMS(What does that mean!). So for development, the client also says I should use MySQL orPostgressSQL on the desktop. Is it possible to make sure it is compatible with all this while working in Windows? And all I have for databases right now is Access 97, but I might be able to use Oracle. Any suggestion?
I just need someone to point me to the right direction. Then I'll get working with sample codes and online tutorials.
Thanks in advance.

Protest Lasagna
06 Mar 13
Worried about what the next frozen lasagna you pull from your freezer may contain? As the list of products recalled for undisclosed inclusion of horsemeat grows - now concerning 24 countries and multiple food companies - Slow Food Italy, along with a number of restaurants, has launched a campaign "Ne abbiamo le tasche Ripiene!" to protest against the escalating incidence of food scandals. From now until March 17, chefs across the country will be preparing traditional filled pasta dishes, revealing the recipe and exact origin of the ingredients to their customers. Lasagna, ravioli, tortellini and meatballs of all kinds will be on the menu: traditional dishes, made with care as they have been for centuries.
You too can try one of the dishes on offer. This traditional Lasagna Bolognese recipe comes from Trattoria Serghei, an authentic restaurant in central Bologna. It is made with fresh spinach pasta – an unusual variation that can be replaced with plain fresh or dry pasta sheets if you prefer - and Ragù alla Bolognese, Italy's most famous meat-based pasta sauce. The ragù comes in many variations and you can certainly make your own adjustments.
Be sure to cook more than you need, and freeze* individual or family portions for later!
Lasagna Bolognese
Serves 6
For the pasta:
200gr spinach
a pinch of salt
400gr flour
3 free-range eggs
For the sauce:
2 celery sticks, diced
1 carrot, diced
½ onion, diced
50gr pancetta (or good quality bacon), cubed
500gr lean beef, finely diced (or minced)
150gr lean pork, finely diced (or minced)
1 chicken liver, chopped (optional)
1 chicken gizzard, chopped (optional)
500gr chopped canned tomatoes
1 cup milk
extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
To assemble:
500ml béchamel sauce**
200gr Parmigiano Reggiano, grated
1 knob of butter
Wash the spinach and cook for a few minutes in lightly salted boiling water. Drain and press the excess water out of the spinach with a large spoon, then chop finely and leave to cool.
Pour the flour onto a clean workbench. Make a well in the middle of the flour and add the eggs, incorporating well. Add the spinach and mix until you have a firm and elastic dough. Cover with a cloth and leave to rest.
To prepare the sauce: fry the celery, carrot and onion gently in a pan with olive oil for a few minutes. Add the pancetta and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes and then add the pork and cook for a further 5 minutes. Add the chicken liver and gizzard, then the beef and cook gently for around 30 minutes, stirring often.
Add the milk to the sauce and cook until it has evaporated. Now add the tomatoes and a cup of warm water. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and cook on a low flame for 30 minutes.
In the meantime, roll out your pasta dough (see a step-by-step guide here) and cut it into large rectangles. Boil each pasta sheet in lightly salted water for a few minutes, then rinse in cold water to stop the cooking process and lay out to dry on kitchen towels.
Grease a large baking pan with a knob of butter and assemble the dish, starting with a layer of meat sauce on the bottom topped with pasta sheets, followed by sauce and then a layer of béchamel and grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Continue layering in the same way until all the ingredients are used.
Bake at 180 °C for about an hour.
Leave to rest for a few minutes before serving.
*Follow the usual rules of freezing cooked meals: cook the lasagna and allow to cool before transferring to the freezer – either in a covered dish or in individually wrapped portions. When ready to use, defrost in the fridge and heat as usual in oven. Do not re-freeze.
**To make béchamel: warm 500ml milk. In a separate pan melt 50g of butter and stir in 40g flour, taking care not to brown the mix. Remove from heat and wisk in a small amount of milk. Return to low heat and gradually add the rest of the milk, wisking continually until you have a thick and creamy sauce.

A tree inventory is the gathering of accurate information on the health and diversity of the community forest. How many street trees are there? What kind? In what condition are they? You cannot manage the community forest effectively unless you know its condition. Tree inventories are an essential tool of good management.
To know more information about the existing trees and to further tree management and planning.
The city can use the results and the calculated benefits to reach out to the public and cultivate a greater understanding of the benefits these trees provide to a community.
With a complete knowledge of city owned trees the city can create a comprehensive, long-term maintenance plan and a corresponding budget.
Using the calculated benefits, staff can fully justify your budget request.
It assesses potential hazard trees in order to protect citizen's property and safety.
Allows the city to make informed maintenance decisions and will increase the efficiency of city staff.
It will assist the city in determining short and long term tree maintenance and canopy goals.
It allows the city to move from a reactive system where it is responding to storm events, invasive disease or pests, or other catastrophes, to a system where the city can be managed to withstand these disasters.
It enables the city to establish and determine the direction of its forestry program.
Overall, an inventory allows a city to maintain and grow a healthy, stable, and productive urban forest.
For communities with populations under 5,000 assistance is available. For more information, contact Emma Hanigan at email@example.com or call 515-725-8454.

I tried to boot the ubuntu live cd on a Compaq TC1000 tablet pc last night. Just wanted to see if it would load. It has an external cd rom. It booted to the cd to the menu and selected boot the os option not install.
It gave me the splash screen but even after an hour the system never came up. the cd stopped spinning and it just sat there.
has anyone ever tried to load ubuntu on a tc1000 tablet pc? I dont care if I lose the tablet functions. I just want it for email on the road etc. xp is a dog on a 900mhz processor it has.
I have tried this CD on several systems. could the distribution i downloaded be bad? I tried it from several mirror site and it ran the check cd option and they all say 1 file was found to be bad. I am guessing this is the issue. But why am i getting a bad iso file?
The download process compeltes with no errors so I am thinkign the file is bad when it comes down.
Can someone point me to a like with a know GOOD iso image?

U.S. Under-21 WNT Heads Into Portland Training Camp In Advance of 2007 Nordic Cup in Finland
CHICAGO (June 5, 2007) -- U.S. Under-21 Women's National Team head coach Bill Irwin will bring 24 players to a training camp in Portland, Oregon, from June 6-13 in what will be the final camp before he chooses the 2007 U.S. Nordic Cup Team, which will travel to Vassa, Finland, from July 12-25 for the annual Nordic Cup tournament.
Held in Northern Europe every summer, the USA has competed in the tournament for well more than a decade, as it has become the focus of the USA's oldest youth national team during its six-month run-up to the prestigious competition. In respond to FIFA moving oldest FIFA world championship for women from Under-19 to Under-20, this year the Nordic Cup moves from an Under-21 competition to an Under-23 tournament (it was staged as a U-20 event from 1990-1997) and Irwin will bring an 18-player roster featuring a mixture of U-21 and older players to Finland.
The USA has won eight Nordic Cup titles, including seven in a row before falling last year in the championship game to Germany. The USA won the last Nordic Cup contested in Finland in 2002, defeating Germany, 3-1 in the final.
While the Nordic Cup has long featured eight teams and three group games followed by a placement match, this year's format calls for two group games and then a placement match, giving the USA little room for error in the first round to earn a berth to the title game, which will pit the winners of Group A, featuring England, Finland and Germany, and Group B, which will feature Norway, Sweden and the USA.
The American women open with Norway on July 18 in Närpiö, followed by the match against Sweden on July 22 in Vaasa. The placement matches are on July 24. All the matches are in and around Vassa on the west coast of Finland right on the Gulf of Bothnia.
Irwin's Portland training camp roster features seven players who competed for the USA at the 2006 U-20 Women's World Championship in Russia, and several other players with extensive youth National Team experience, including defenders Kendall Fletcher (14 U-21 caps), Manya Maksoki (19 U-21 caps) and Rachel Buehler (14 U-21 caps), and midfielder Sarah Huffman (22 U-21 caps), all of whom played on the USA's 2002 U-19 team that won the first FIFA youth world championship.
"This roster is close to the team we will be taking to Finland, but there are several players not in camp that are in running and several players coming to Portland trying to show they deserve a spot on the final 18-player roster," said Irwin. "We've had some good preparation this year with matches in England and Germany, as well as the tournament in Alabama, and this group is highly motivated to go to Europe and win back the Nordic Cup."
Irwin has three attacking players who showed to be among the best in the world in their age group during their FIFA world championship experience.
Midfielder Angie Woznuk was one of the stars of the U.S. team that finished third in the 2004 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship in Thailand. She won the Silver Ball as the second most outstanding player and the Bronze Boot as the third leading scorer in the tournament. Forward Megan Rapinoe scored three times for the USA in Thailand and forward Danesha Adams won the Bronze Ball as the third most outstanding player at the 2006 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship in Russia. All three have a smattering of caps for the full Women's National Team.
After winning its first Nordic Cup in 1997 (over Norway in Denmark), the USA has won an amazing eight out of the last 10 Nordic Cups, and seven in a row from 1999-2005. Age eligible players for the 2007 Nordic Cup are those born on or after January 1, 1984.

U.S. U-21 Women Head to Germany For Three Matches

U-21 WNT Falls to Canada in PKs at Futbol Internacional Tournament Final
MOBILE, Ala. (April 28, 2007) – The U.S. Under-21 Women's National Team fell in penalty kicks to the Canadian Olympic Development Team after playing to a 0-0 draw in the championship game of the 2007 Futbol Internacional Tournament.
The U.S. team had won both its previous games in the six-team tournament by 2-0 scores but could not find a way past Canadian goalkeepers Taryn Swiatek and Karina LeBlanc, who have 20 and 50 caps respectively for Canada's senior side.
Canada's Olympic Development Team featured a mixture of national team veterans and young prospects.
The U.S. team had more of the chances during the match, out-shooting Canada by a 13-3 margin, but failed to finish into open nets on at least one occasion in each half.
The match ended 0-0 after regulation time and went straight to penalty kicks. After Canada's Amy Vermuelen converted her team's first chance, U.S. defender Stephanie Logterman had her kick saved by LeBlanc, and that would eventually be the difference as each team then made all the rest of its kicks before Canada's Paige Adams knocked in her team's fifth chance to end the game.
The U.S. U-21s will come together again in late May for a trip to Germany, where they will play three top German women's clubs. U.S. head coach Bill Irwin is preparing the U-21s for the annual Nordic Cup, which this year will be held in Finland from July 18-24. The USA won seven Nordic Cup titles in a row before falling last summer to Germany in the title game.

U.S. U-21s Use 2-0 Win vs. T&T WNT to Win Bracket at Futbol Internacional Tournament
HUNTSVILLE, Alabama (April 24, 2007) – The U.S. Under-21 Women's National Team cruised to its second win in as many games at the 2007 Futbol Internacional Tournament in Alabama, defeating the Trinidad & Tobago full Women's National Team by a 2-0 score at the Alabama A&M Football Field.
The USA used goals from forward Kelsey Carpenter, her second in as many matches, and midfielder Angie Wonzuk, to win the match and Bracket A, giving them a spot in the championship of this six-team tournament on April 28 at Baker High School in Mobile against either Argentina's full Women's National Team or Canada's Olympic Development Team.
The Canada ODT and Argentina's WNT tied, 1-1, in the day's other match. Mexico's U-21s and Argentina will play the final match of Bracket B on April 26. A tie or Mexico win in that match would send Canada to the championship game while Argentina will need a win.
U.S. head coach Bill Irwin made eight changes from the starting lineup that defeated China's U-21s two days ago, and made the nine allowed substitutes during the match, with goalkeeper Joanna Haig and team captain Rachel Buehler the only U.S. players going the full 90 minutes. The USA's team had a sputtering start to the game which was made even more choppy by constant whistles and some sub-par finishing from the Americans.
"There was no intensity in the first half," said Irwin. "We had loads of chances, we should have been up after five minutes and we almost scored 20 seconds into the second half, but the finishing just wasn't good enough."
The U.S. got a goal and an assist from Woznuk, who had a spectacular tournament at the 2004 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship in Thailand, winning the Silver Ball as second best player in the tournament and the Bronze Shoe as the third best scorer.
"It was a really ugly game," said Woznuk, who has one cap for the U.S. WNT. "The field wasn't good and at the start, T&T came out with a lot of energy while we didn't. We made some changes middle of the half and halftime and those girls brought a lot of energy to the team. That allowed us to get control of the game, knock it around more and we took control."
It was Woznuk who finally made a dent, firing in a free-kick from just outside the penalty area on the left side with 20 minutes left in the game, bending her shot into the upper right corner to make it 1-0.
"I think the goalkeeper lost sight of the ball," said Woznuk of her goal. "Earlier today we practiced some free kicks and that was where I was hitting them, so it felt good. The goal kind of opened up the game. Once we got that, we got the second one pretty quick."
Woznuk set up the second goal just six minutes later, gaining control about 40 yards from the net before lifting the ball over the defense to Carpenter, who ran past her defender, took a few dribbles and hit her shot low into the right corner from about 15 yards out.
The U.S. team now awaits its opponent for the championship game, where Irwin will be looking for a better performance from the oldest youth team in the Women's National Team programs.
"I want them to come out committed, ready to work and out-work the other team," said Irwin. "We need to put them on under all sorts of pressure, but first they all need to come and roll up sleeves, raise their level and do the work. Today, there was no intensity, we thought we could just step on the field and win this game. All of sudden, they found themselves getting out-hustled and we could have been a goal down. Hopefully, after the little chat we had at halftime and at the end of the game, the group I put out there will work their tails off in the final."
Irwin is preparing the U-21s for the annual Nordic Cup, which this year will be held in Finland from July 18-24. The USA won seven Nordic Cup titles in a row before falling last summer to Germany in the title game.

U-21 WNT Downs China, 2-0, at Futbol Internacional Tournament in Alabama
CHICAGO (April 22, 2007) – The U.S. Under-21 Women's National Team opened the 2007 Futbol Internacional Tournament in Alabama with a solid 2-0 victory over China's U-21s at the famed Legion Field in Birmingham. Texas junior Kelsey Carpenter and substitute Kelley O'Hara, a Stanford freshman, both scored second half goals to lead the USA to victory in the first international match of the year for the U-21 women.
The six-team, nine-match tournament features the U.S. U-21s, China's U-21s and Trinidad & Tobago's full Women's National Team in Bracket A while the full Women's National Team of Argentina joins Canada's Olympic Development Team and Mexico's U-21s in Bracket B. Canada beat Mexico, 1-0, in the day's other match.
The two group winners will play for the championship, the second place finishers will play for third and the third-place finishers in each bracket will meet for fifth place.
The USA dominated the match from the beginning, but forwards Danesha Adams and Carpenter wasted golden chances in the first half, and the USA had to show patience as they found it difficult to navigate through a defense-minded Chinese team.
"I thought the game went very well possession-wise," said O'Hara, one of the standouts for the USA at the 2006 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship in Russia who will join the full Women's National Team in Residency Training Camp after the end of this tournament. "They had very few chances and we had so many right in front of the goal. It could have been 3-0 at halftime."
Carpenter finally broke through in the 57th minute when midfielder Amanda Poach, who had both assists in the game, won a fifty-fifty tackle at the top of the penalty area and then put Carpenter behind the defense for her to finish smartly from inside the six-yard box.
O'Hara, playing in her first competitive match since the end of her college season after recovering from a foot injury, doubled the lead in the 75th minute after entering the game just 16 minutes earlier. Poach, a member of the FIFA All-Star Team at the last U-20 World Championship in Russia, sent a cross in from the right wing that flew just over a few Chinese heads to O'Hara, who pounded her header down off the left post and in. O'Hara, who is age-eligible for the next U-20 World Cup in Chile in 2008, has 10 international goals at the U-20 level, but this was her first for the U-21s.
"We dominated the game, made a lot of chances and missed a lot of chances, but other than that, the girls played really well," said U.S. head coach Bill Irwin. "China got everyone behind the ball and made it difficult for us, but in the second half we made some adjustments and got two goals. Kelsey tucked her chance away well and Kelley finished off a great sequence of ball movement."
The U.S. defense of center backs Rachel Buehler and Kendall Fletcher and wing backs Stephanie Logterman and Manya Makoski were solid during the game, limiting the dangerous Chinese attacks to a precious few.
The USA's next match will be against Trinidad & Tobago's full National Team on Tuesday, April 24 at the Alabama A&M Football Stadium in Huntsville.
Irwin is preparing the U-21s for the annual Nordic Cup, which this year will be held in Finland from July 18-24. The USA won seven Nordic Cup titles in a row before falling last summer to Germany in the title game.

CANTON — A St. Lawrence County inmate who is being charged in connection with the January thefts at three Walmarts that netted about $40,000 in electronics was released from jail Friday.
Travynn L. Ippolito, 26, of Tennessee, had been held in St. Lawrence County jail on two counts of third-degree grand larceny and fifth-degree conspiracy. He has a third count of third-degree grand larceny pending in Franklin County Court, Malone.
On Jan. 31, Mr. Ippolito, along with Brandy D. Young, 35, and Nina M. Duprey, 35, both of Plattsburgh, was arrested by St. Lawrence County sheriff's detectives and deputies following an investigation into larcenies that took place at Walmart stores in Potsdam, Massena and Malone.
Mr. Ippolito was released from county jail as a result of a 45-day motion filed by his attorney, Edward F. Narrow, on Thursday. The district attorney's office has 45 days from the time of a felony arrest to bring an indictment. Mr. Ippolito was released on his own recognizance after being in jail for 118 days.
In court Friday, Assistant District Attorney Joshua A. HaberkornHalm told County Judge Jerome J. Richards that he was under the impression that there were "good faith" plea negotiations underway, which is why the case was not presented to a grand jury.
On May 12, a conference was held in Judge Richards's chambers between Mr. Narrow and Mr. HaberkornHalm, where a plea deal was extended awaiting information regarding a charge against Mr. Ippolito in Tennessee to see if he would be sentenced as a second felony offender.
Aside from the Feb. 24 date in which Mr. Ippolito waived his right to a speedy trial and the May 12 date in which a plea deal was extended, Mr. HaberkornHalm said he was unable to present any additional documentation that would show proof of negotiation. He said it is not common practice to keep what would be comparable to billable hours in a private law firm.
The district attorney's office should have been given 45 days to present the case to a grand jury starting June 9, the day Mr. Ippolito requested a release from jail and the point at which the negotiations ceased, which would still keep Mr. Ippolito in jail for an additional 34 days, Mr. HaberkornHalm said.
Mr. Narrow said that he had advised Mr. Ippolito against filing the motion to be released because that move would take any possible plea deal off the table.
Mr. Ippolito now faces consecutive sentencing for all his charges, which could land him in prison for a maximum of 21 years, and that makes him a flight risk.
"Obviously for Mr. Ippolito, his heroin problem leads him to commit crimes," Mr. Narrow said. "The first concern is that when you have someone who has an untreated substance abuse problem, when they get out of jail the first thing you think of is that they are going to start shooting again."
Mr. Narrow added that Mr. Ippolito has no ties to the north country except for the people he allegedly conspired with to commit the burglaries.
"I'm not really sure that I will ever see him until he gets picked up on a warrant. Getting him out of jail today was not my idea," Mr. Narrow said. "This was his decision and there is no plea deal now and he could go to jail for a significant amount of time for a short amount of freedom, so this is not a good trade-off."

Build This Wind-Up Drag Racer Out of Old CDs
Crown molding can bring elegance and harmony to any underwhelming or oddly shaped room. Adding molding with a multilayered profile like the one featured here can really make a bold, distinctive statement. The project may look intimidating, but it's actually not. If you're comfortable installing a simple baseboard, you should have no problem handling this major interior upgrade.
The trick is combining two sets of identical baseboard and a sprung crown molding to create a complex design. The three components not only break the project into manageable steps, but also help you work around irregular surfaces. Plus, the baseboard moldings provide backing for the sprung crown, making the most challenging part of the project a snap.
Get the right proportions.
Crown molding changes the perceived shape of a room. In a space that's tall and narrow, adding a crown accentuates ceiling height while creating the illusion of width. Select a profile that complements the room. If the molding is too tall, it can feel overbearing; too small and it looks out of place. Figure 1/2 inch of rise for every foot of ceiling height. A well-proportioned crown is often slightly narrower than the baseboard.
MDF or paint-grade wood?
Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) moldings are affordable and readily available in long lengths, so they're ideal for crown projects. Paint-grade wood moldings are usually pine or poplar. They show detail well and are a good choice for complex designs. However, they're hard to find in lengths over 12 feet unless they're finger-joined.
Shop local.
If you need to match existing moldings or you're remodeling a historical home, seek out local suppliers that specialize in architectural millwork. They often have extensive selections of moldings in different sizes and materials, and they're more likely to stock profiles that are authentic to your home's period and regional style.
Installation Strategies
Begin by attaching baseboard molding directly to the ceiling. Imagine this layer wrapping around the room like a picture frame, with your ceiling as the artwork. Install the next element as though it's upside-down baseboard. Fasten it directly to the wall, up tight against the ceiling layer. Cope all inside corners, and cut miters for the outside corners. Same goes for the final layer, which is the sprung crown. Nail this molding to the two baseboard moldings.
You can compensate for imperfect joinery if you plan the installation carefully. One trick is to align all coped corners so that when you enter the room, you see the joint from the side rather than head-on. Achieve this by installing the piece on the wall opposite the doorway first. Cut both ends square, and then complete the corners by coping the adjoining pieces. Try to make finish cuts on one end of a board only. If you mess up, you can start over before trimming to length. Finally, don't forget my 10-foot rule: What you can't see from the floor isn't worth losing sleep over.
