Academy grad Eric Kettani was granted early release from his active-duty Navy obligations. Unlike some other unnamed athlete-officers, he took a deployment as an afloat Surface Warfare Officer (SWO.)
He has played for the New England Patriots; and this season, he is rumbling for the Redskins. His bio:
Played Fullback at the United States Naval Academy from 05′ – 09′. Invited to NFL Combine and Under Armour Senior Bowl. Served as a Surface Warfare Officer with a deployment overseas under his belt. Signed with the NE Patriots in 2009 and currently on the Washington Redskins.
I like the guy. At least he deployed prior to getting an early release. What I am not a big fan of is abstract art. And our Shipmate, Eric, is a budding Picasso:
It is better than some other third-grade, million-dollar messes I have seen. . .

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Police say a gunman who opened fire on shoppers at a Portland mall had no connection to the two people he fatally shot and wanted to kill as many people as possible.
Investigators say the shooter, who wore a mask, was a young man who fired randomly. The only person wounded was a young woman, Kristina Shevchenko, whose age could not be confirmed. She was in serious condition at Oregon Health & Science University Hospital in Portland.

Shopping for a canoe or kayak? Watch Rock/Creek paddling expert Sara Horne's boating intro!
"Getting into paddling can be pretty confusing. There are a zillion different boat options, and it can be pretty tough to decide what kind of canoe or kayak is best for what you'd like to do. Do you need a sea kayak, a recreational kayak or a touring kayak? Do you want to run creeks with multiple whitewater rapids, or load up your boat with a weekend's camping gear and paddle from island to island?"

Arizona House debates licenses for immigrants
PHOENIX — After Mabel Muoz was stopped by police while driving back to her college dormitory, the honor student was terrified to learn she would be spending the night in jail with criminals because she didn't have a driver's
"It was horrible," Muoz recalled after a House hearing Thursday on driver's licenses for immigrants. "I've been following the rules, but I can't follow this rule because they won't let me get a driver's license."
Arizona Democratic lawmakers in a state long known for its headline-making immigration crackdowns urged their Republican counterparts to extend driver's licenses to young immigrants granted legal status by President Barack Obama
"If we don't, I fear that we are creating a generation of anger and resentment … a generation that has felt the rejection of a society that would rather see investment in their incarnation rather than their education," said Democratic Rep. Lydia Hernandez.
Legislation sponsored by Democratic Rep. Catherine Miranda would allow immigrants who have obtained federally issued employment authorization to legally drive in Arizona. The House Transportation Committee heard from proponents of the bill Thursday without voting on it. Supporters said Arizona's roads would be safer if more people had driver's licenses.
Transportation Committee chairwoman Rep. Karen Fann said she would not call a vote on the bill because she wanted lawmakers to absorb the subject without distraction.
"This is our time to listen," she said. "Sometimes we are so frustrated that we are so busy yelling and screaming that we forget to listen."
Arizona law does not allow drivers without satisfactory proof of legal status to obtain a license. The Department of Homeland Security issued a memo in January that said young immigrants granted "deferred action" status are
legally in the country.
Obama said in July that people younger than 30 brought to the U.S. before they turned 16 could apply for deferral. They will be granted work permits and Social Security numbers.
Republican Gov. Jan Brewer has issued an executive order barring state agencies from giving driver's licenses to those granted deferral. The decision sparked a federal lawsuit by some people denied licenses. That suit is pending.
Brewer said Monday she had not changed her position.
Miranda said Brewer could be persuaded to change her mind, citing the governor's recent about-face on expanding health care access for Arizona under the federal health care law.
Muoz, who graduated last year from Arizona State University, said she hoped the hearing was a sign Republican lawmakers were open to change.
"I am going to be legal here, and doesn't that mean I should be able to drive?" she said during the committee meeting. "What harm would our driver's licenses do to you?"
Miranda said it was significant that Republican leadership allowed the bill to be heard during a hearing, but she lamented that the debate was one-sided and conceded the bill has an uphill battle to gain support in the GOP-controlled legislature. No one spoke against the bill, but committee members also did not take it up for debate.
Lucia Guerra-Rodriquez, an insurance agent, said arrests of drivers who cannot legally obtain insurance can overwhelm court dockets. Arizona requires drivers to obtain insurance, but drivers can't apply for insurance without a legal license.
"Accidents with people without insurance cause insurance rates to rise for everyone," she said.
Todd Landfried, executive director of the business group Arizona Employers for Immigration Reform, said denying legal workers licenses depresses the economy by making it harder for people to find and obtain work and pay taxes.
"Their ability to drive is intrinsically linked to employment," he said. "We see no downside to providing driver's license to those who have met all the legal requirements for obtaining one."

Buffalo, NY (Sports Network) - Marvin Jordan knocked down a game-winning 3- pointer in the closing seconds to lift the Niagara Purple Eagles to a 66-65 decision over the Canisius Golden Griffins in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference battle at the Koessler Center.
Canisius guard Billy Baron came down the court and scored to apparently give the Griffs the win with a final second buzzer beater. However after looking at the replay officials determined that Baron did not get the shot off in time and the basket didn't count. That gave Niagara the win in yet another thrilling game between the old rivals.
"I don't know if I have ever been prouder," head coach Joe Mihalich said. "We wouldn't give in. The way the first half ended, in the middle of the (second) half we were down and got down four late. For our guys to keep their composure and the next thing we knew it was tied. It was an incredible game. I'm proud of our team...we beat a good team."
"This was a hard-fought game today," Canisius head coach Jim Baron said. "We had a good win at Rider [on Friday] and we knew coming into today that it was going to be a battle. They have some great athletes and to their credit, they got to the foul line and we did not. They stepped up and made some big shots and we had a few unfortunate turnovers at key times. Marvin Jordan really stepped up for them and hit that shot at the end and we just fell short."
Jordan provided a huge spark off the bench for Niagara (13-8, 9-1 MAAC) with a team-high 23 points on 9-of-18 shooting from the field. Antoine Mason chipped in 14 points while Juan'ya Green contributed nine points, eight assists, and five steals. The victory was the sixth in a row and kept the Purple Eagles in sole possession of first place in the MAAC standings.
For Canisius (13-8, 6-4), Chris Manhertz provided a double-double of a career- high 17 points and 15 rebounds to lead the way. Isaac Sosa scored 14 points and Harold Washington chipped in 12. Billy Baron went 4-of-14 from the floor en route to nine points, which he accompanied with six assists.
Both sides struggled in the opening half. Niagara connected on just 35.7 percent of its field goal tries in the opening 20 minutes, while the Golden Griffins connected on 36.3 percent of their shots from the floor, including 7- of-20 from 3-point range, to take a 32-25 lead into the intermission.
The Purple Eagles improved to shoot 45.2 percent from the floor after the break which helped it overcome a 10-point deficit in the second half. The game was knotted up at 63 with under a minute remaining. Baron stripped Ameen Tanksley and put in a layup to give Canisius a late two-point lead, but his clutch play set the stage for Jordan's late game heroics.
Canisius held a 42-37 edge in the rebounding battle, but it was outscored, 12-5, at the free throw line.
Niagara has enjoyed great success over Canisius in the past ten seasons having won 18 of the last 21 including nine of the last 12at the Koessler Center.

Lima is divided into four quarters, which are small enough to explore on foot. Travelling from one section to another is best done in a bus or taxi, however. The regular buses serving the city consist of microbus vans and larger 'school bus' vehicles. These are plentiful and inexpensive, although uncomfortable (especially in the heat of summer) and frequently involved in accidents. These 'micros' and 'combis' can be flagged down in the street. Destinations are usually not marked so ask the driver before boarding. Taxicabs are also plentiful and cheap, of no particular make or model, but recognisable by plastic signs on the windshield, and often the generic yellow of taxi cabs the world over. Taxis are not metered and the fare should be agreed before departure. It is a good idea to find out how much they generally cost to avoid being overcharged as a foreigner. Driving in Lima is hazardous: not only are the roads in generally bad condition, but local drivers are reckless and aggressive. Car rental is therefore best avoided. For those determined to rent cars, however, there are numerous rental agencies and having your own vehicle is wonderful when heading out of the city on excursions.
Local time is GMT -5.
Electrical current is 220 volts, 60Hz (Arequipa 50Hz). Two-pronged plugs with flat blades as well as plugs with two round prongs are in use.
The official currency is Nuevo Sol (PEN), divided into 100 céntimos. Visa is the most widely accepted credit card, but all major international credit cards are accepted in many, but not all, establishments. Outside Lima facilities may be more limited. US Dollars are the easiest currency to exchange and plenty of restaurants, hotels and shops in the main cities accept dollars for payment. Casas de cambio (exchange bureaux) often give better rates than hotels and banks and can be found in any town on the tourist circuit. ATMs are available in the main cities.
The international access code for Peru is +51. Mobile phone operators offer GSM and 3G networks with coverage limited to major towns and cities; there are roaming agreements with most international operaters. Peru is well connected to the internet with a proliferation of inexpensive internet kiosks (cabinas pública) available in most towns and cities.
Emergencies: 105 (Police); 117 (Ambulance).

The weather in Lima is influenced by the cold offshore Humboldt Current, and the city has a mild climate, much cooler than one might expect for what is technically a subtropical desert region. It gets neither very cold nor very hot in Lima: temperatures rarely fall below 54°F (12°C) and seldom rise above 84°F (29°C) year-round. It is a cloudy and foggy city, which doesn't actually get that much sun. Rainfall is extremely low and what little the city does get comes in the form of drizzles in winter, or occasional, brief showers in summer. There are two distinct seasons: summer, from December through April, is sunny and generally cloud-free, but can be very foggy, with temperatures ranging from 64°F to 84°F (18°C to 29°C); winter, from June to October, is a gray season with cooler temperatures ranging from 54°F to 66°F (12°C to 19°C), and is frequently overcast; May and November are transitional months. Humidity is high in Lima all year. The city is known for its beautiful sunsets, which are especially colourful. Lima's climate is fairly consistent, and seldom wonderful for travellers, so it doesn't really matter when one visits; however, the city gets the most sun and is least foggy between December and April, making this the best time to travel to the city.
Buses and minibuses service the city centre; their stops are outside the airport gates on Avenida Faucett. They travel to the city, stopping along the main avenues.
Car rental companies include Hertz, Budget and Avis.
Taxis can be found outside the international flights terminal.
Facilities at the airport include banks, bureaux de change, ATMs, a post office, public telephones, a couple of restaurants, shops, left luggage and a tourist information desk. There are disabled facilities; those with special needs should contact their airline in advance.
Parking is charged at PEN 5.50 per hour and PEN 45 per day, and is located across from the main terminal building.
Free wifi is avaliable in certain parts of the airport.

FORT DRUM A fallen 10th Mountain Division soldier will be honored posthumously by the Polish government after saving a Polish soldier by stepping in front of an insurgent with a suicide vest.
Staff Sgt. Michael H. Ollis, of the 2nd Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, will receive the Gold Medal of the Polish Armed Forces.
The award recognizes the service foreign civilians and military personnel provide to the Polish Army. Polish and American officials are scheduling a time to present the medal.
Talking to investigators after the Aug. 28 attack on Forward Operating Base Ghazni, the Polish officer repeatedly praised and credited Sgt. Ollis with saving his life.
The Watertown Daily Times on Wednesday morning received a copy of a U.S. military summary of the attack, in which a Polish soldier also was killed and dozens of Polish and Afghan personnel were injured. The summary highlights Sgt. Olliss heroics that afternoon, as he defended the base with other coalition forces, saving hundreds of lives.
SSG Ollis could have remained with his men in the bunker. He did not, the summary said. He could have returned to his room to secure his gear. He did not. He made the conscious decision to move to the sound of the gunfire.
The attack started on the bases east side with a massive explosion of a car containing 2,860 to 3,960 pounds of explosives. Immediately after the blast, which reverberated across the base, 10 insurgents wearing suicide vests and carrying assault rifles filed into the base. Insurgents also attacked the bases west and north sides.
At the time of the initial blast, Sgt. Ollis was with team members at the bases Morale, Welfare and Recreation building. After going quickly to a nearby bunker, believing a mortar had landed nearby, the team returned to the building to check for wounded personnel. After returning with the team to the bunker, Sgt. Ollis split off to help defend the installation.
Arriving at a barrier closest to the bases airfield access road, he met a Polish officer he did not know, and the two paired up to move toward the airfield, where other special forces personnel already had had engagements with the insurgents.
At the time of their arrival, eight of 10 insurgents had been killed, and a ninth was killed shortly after approaching the group with a grenade.
Just after the ninth attacker was killed, a 10th insurgent approached from a different angle, with Sgt. Ollis the closest person to him.
Moving toward the insurgent, Sgt. Ollis stepped in front of the Polish officer, the second closest to the insurgent, before the attackers vest detonated, mortally wounding Sgt. Ollis and hurling him several feet.
The narrative said Sgt. Ollis was declared dead after being taken to a nearby aid station.
The Polish award for Sgt. Ollis, 24, of Staten Island, is in addition to his nomination for the U.S. militarys Silver Star, its third highest decoration for valor, first reported by Army Times. That request is working its way through Sgt. Olliss chain of command.

BUFFALO, NY - Traffic on Route 33 (the Kensington Expressway) is moving again after an earlier spin out had traffic slowed to a crawl near the I-90 interchange.
An earlier accident on the I-190 at Niagara Street had the right lane closed and traffic backed up in both directions at the height of rush hour, and yet another accident on the I-290 east near Niagara Falls Boulevard was causing congestion there, too.

Yankees remain interested in Scott Hairston
According to Kevin Kernan of the New York Post, the Yankees would still like to add a right-handed bat even though they reportedly agreed to sign Matt Diaz to a Minor League contract.
The Yankees could be seeking a "low-cost solution," and are still interested in Scott Hairston.
On Sunday, Wallace Matthews of ESPN New York said while the Yankees remain interested in Hairston, Hairston would prefer to return to the Mets where he can play everyday.
Michael Baron, ContributorDec. 23: I really worry about Hairston in a regular role. He is a career .229 hitter against right-handed pitching and his OPS is 121 points lower against righties than it is against lefties. I like Hairston and the Mets do need a right-handed hitting outfielder, but he is more valuable as a platoon player not just for the Mets, but for any team that signs him.

|Miller Responds for the County to Town of Boone
Watauga County Commission Chairman Nathan Miller, named in the letter being sent by the Town of Boone in garnering support for the town's position for mediation with the county over the old Watauga High property and the county's response by adjusting sales tax, responded himself with a letter
—but said he would not spend county money to send a letter to taxpayers—but would post it in the news media. Miller said that what the town wants to do—a closed mediation—is improper…his letter will point out all the times they have offered to meet with the town, but then the town would not enable the county to participate in their Affordable Housing issue, even when asked to change the time for the county to respond. Miller also said he would invite the other towns of the county, as the tax side of the issue affects them as well.
The Honorable Loretta Clawson and Town Council:
The County is in receipt of your letter dated April 2, 2013, requesting a meeting with the Board of Commissioners for April 17th or 22nd at 4:00 PM. Due to scheduling conflicts and the potential visit by the Governor the proposed dates of April 17th or 22nd will not work for the Board of Commissioners. Therefore, the County would propose April 11th or April 12th at 4:30 PM for alternate dates for the Town's consideration. Further, the County would recommend the agricultural extension building as the location for the meeting.
The County welcomes the opportunity for an open dialogue with the Town to facilitate a mutually beneficial agreement for all of the citizens of Watauga County. Please confirm one of the proposed dates so that appropriate planning, notifications, and arrangements can be made.
Thank you for your prompt assistance and attention to this most important matter. We look forward to your response.
Best Regards,

Decent product
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I was disappointed the shorts did not have chamois but another pair of the same brand had them. The description should mention that. I ride for long periods of time and like the padded protection. Otherwise I would recommend them.
Pretty sweet
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought these to replace some Sugoi shorts that I finally blew the crotch out of. I wear bibs under my MTB shorts so like the fact that these don't have a lame chamois that I have to cut out anyway. They breathe pretty well and are really comfortable. Stylish too.
Chad Cordell, Employee
Durable Shorts
These shorts are about as tough as it gets. For downhill and freeride these work great. I wouldn't use them for XC because they do not breathe very well. The elastic panel in the back stretches as you move and keeps them up around your waist. They also have 2 pockets on the front. If you are looking for a tough DH short, look no further.

Fotografía de noticiasBagdad,Conflicto,Discapacidad,Guerra,Guerra de Irak 2003-2011,Horizontal,Irak,Mano,Trabajar,TécnicoPhotographer Mario TamaCollection: Getty Images News 2011 Getty ImagesBAGHDAD, IRAQ - DECEMBER 13: A technician works on a prosthetic hand at the Factory of Prosthetic Limbs on December 13, 2011 in Baghdad, Iraq. Wounded Iraqis face a shortage of the outdated prosthetics due to a spike in war-related injuries in recent years. Iraq's health care system remains in shambles following two decades of war and economic sanctions. Following the 2003 U.S. invasion, thousands of physicians fled the country while others were killed. Some physicians have since returned but there is still a critical shortage of doctors. Iraq is transitioning nearly nine years after the 2003 U.S. invasion and subsequent occupation. American forces are now in the midst of the final stage of withdrawal from the war-torn country. At least 4,485 U.S. military personnel have died in service in Iraq. According to the Iraq Body Count, more than 100,000 Iraqi civilians have died from war-related violence. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)

Protection Checklist
If you live in an area of extreme electrical unpredictability, this will help you through those unintended power-cut restarts which could result in data loss.
Surge Protector
If your country is prone to bad weather a lightning strike can ruin your PC for good in one blow. Try to get a good quality surge protector which also covers your modem or router.
Virus Protection
Get a good program such as Norton Anti Virus (www.symantec.com) or the free AVG (www.grisoft.com) and make sure it is kept up to date.
Activate the firewall in Windows XP under Control Panel->Network Connections->Choose your Connection->Advanced Tab (In XP SP2 go to the Security Centre in Control Panel). If the Windows firewall isn't doing its job download the free ZoneAlarm (www.zonealarm.com) or invest in Norton Internet Security and Anti-Virus.
Make sure your PC is fully armed with the critical patches from Microsoft. Check out www.windowsupdate.com to see if you're secure.
Keep your computer away from possible leaks, drips or any situation where water, coca-cola or coffee is likely to spill onto it.
Keep your PC clean inside and out for healthier, more efficient operation. The fans inside your PC attract a lot of dust so once a month turn your PC off, lean the case on its side and look for clips at the bottom. If it doesn't have any, disconnect all cabling and take the side panel off. Then spray the inside with a can of compressed air which you can get from most computer or camera shops. If you are careful you could use a cloth and carefully locate the dusty areas.
Make sure your PC isn't likely to receive any heavy blows, either from smacking into it or from it falling off a desk or shelf.
Human Error
Just make sure that everybody in your house knows the CD tray isn't a cup holder, not to turn off at the wall and other general tips that may not be obvious to first time users.

There is little uncertainty that homework is seen by numerous youthful understudies as the most despicable aspect of their presence. Yet for a large number of youngsters around the globe, homework is a piece of their day by day lives amid the school year. Homework is viewed as a crucial piece of training, particularly for more seasoned kids who do assignments at home to guarantee that they completely comprehend the subjects that are being taught.
Be that as it may, who created homework and why is it so pervasive today?
The historical backdrop of homework really backtracks to the year 1095 in the city of Venice where Roberto Nevilis is attributed with being the first educate to utilize homework. Nonetheless, it must be noticed that there strength have been educators who gave out homework before Nevilis, yet there is no proof that has been found starting yet to demonstrate a forerunner.
Actually, homework was created at generally the same time as the formal educational system. Amid that time, formal training was just accessible to the well-to-do and Nevilis needed to help his understudies completely comprehend and grasp the full significance of the lessons. Apparently in light of the fact that the formal instructive framework was being created in the meantime, homework in European nations turned out to be entrenched as a major aspect of the instructive framework.

I recently posted on what to do with Mike Gonzalez, and while he is now struggling some more, a single reliever is not the same issue as a starting 3B like Mark Reynolds right now.
Reynolds is making a difficult transition to AL pitching (as is DLee), and not well.
Reynolds line as of today (5/17) is: .191 avg., .653 OPS, 5 HRs.
His Ks are down, but as Fangraphs points out in this article, so is everything else.
His defense is also slacking. A .915 fielding percentage is pitiful, paired with a -22.8 UZR/150, the worst spot of his career so far.
Reynolds is looking bad. How long do we wait on this one? Yes, he's younger and more capable of going back to his ways than a project like Garrett Atkins, but something has to be done. He's being put down in the lineup and even benched every so often, but we will have to see how he can manage over the next weeks.

New possibilities for Helper home owner
Helper city has gone forth and approved a zero lot line policy that has been through a series of discussions this summer. The policy which now enables Helper residents to build up to the extreme edge of their properties will come into place pending a refinement of Ordinance No. 2009-4.
Initiative for the project came from Helper citizens who wished to add on their homes, but because of scarce space, they haven't been able to do so legally. However now that the ordinance is in place, Helper property owners can build structures as close to their property lines as they wish, once they have approval of the city's commission. This issue has been a problem in the past because people have illegally built on to their homes which creates numerous problems for the city including lost tax revenues.
The ordinance is also intended to better organize additions to properties stating that structures built producing runoff onto neighbors properties need an easement signed by that neighbor. As requested by Mayor Mike Dalpiaz, the ordinance will be approved once it has been: "cleared up."
Helper city part-time employees might see some new benefits in the near future since the council is considering extending part-time benefits to seasonal employees. Details are still in need of specifics, but it appears that most of the council is in favor of such program. The intent of the extended benefits is to help employees who fall on tough times.
"It's in our best interest to examine (benefits) on a case by case basis," said Councilman Dean Armstrong during the meeting. The item was moved to the city's next agenda for further discussion.
Mr. Dalpiaz also informed the council on a couple issues, mainly to, "get ready," as Helper's tax revenues have dropped about $50,000 over the last year and concerning space at the city cemetery he brought up the idea of stacking caskets to save some space, however, both of these items will likely be reviewed at a later date.
To conclude the council thanked Helper Arts festival volunteers and had a short review of other city undertakings.
The new addition to the Helper Museum is: "going up quick," according to Councilman Kirk Mascaro. With the Helper Lights Parade reaching its 20th anniversary, the council hopes it can attract some new floats to the event.

Though there is little hard evidence, Robert Haig was said to have operated the earliest whisky distillery. It was certainly the earliest ever referenced for in 1655 he was scorned by church elders for using his still on the Sabbath and was summoned to appear before the Kirk Session. In 1824, one of his descendents, John Haig, built the Cameron Bridge distillery in Windygates in the Lowlands. It was one of the first distilleries to produce grain whisky. The Haig Gold blend was released around this time. John's cousin, Robert Stein built the first continuous still. In 1877, Cameron Bridge merged with five whisky companies, forming Distillers Company Ltd. John Haig was one of the directors. In 1919, John Haig & Co was purchased by Distillers Company Ltd. During the early 1990s there was a substantial refurbishment and in 2000 the distillery reopened after £9 million of renovations. Cameron Bridge is, today, a decidedly colossal distillery with a capacity of over thirty million litres annually. A single grain whisky is released from the distillery and bottled as Cameron Brig. There have been both independent releases as well as the official bottling. Today, Cameron Bridge is set for gin production following the closure of Gordon's gin distillery in Essex. The Haig brand lives on today with the Dimple range of blended whiskies. Remember the motto, 'don't be vague, ask for Haig!'.

JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. (MarketWatch) — The Federal Reserve seems on track for a small reduction in the pace of its asset purchase program in September, according to experts attending the central bank's annual retreat in Jackson Hole.
There was a palpable sense at the gathering that Fed officials are eager to bring the era of extraordinary policy stimulus to an end.
Read what business economists expect of Fed taper
"There is a yearning to get back to normal" said John Taylor, the Stanford University economist, in an interview.
Jim O'Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, said "the message is right now that they go in September. I haven't heard anything to suggest expectations for a September move are off-base."
Barry Eichengreen, an economist from the University of California Berkeley, said he sensed that the central bankers were looking past potential pitfalls.
"I think there is a desire to return to conventional monetary policy, but we don't have a normal economy," Eichengreen said.
He said he was surprised how little "visible alarm" there was from Fed officials about recent volatility in emerging markets tied to the Fed's tapering plan.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said the Fed would start to pull back from its $85 billion-a-month asset purchase program "later this year" if the economy continues to improve as expected.
Markets expect the Fed to cut the asset purchase plan by $20 billion in September.
O'Sullivan said the Fed might engineer a smaller $10 billion reduction at first.
Many participants at the Jackson Hole conference want the central bank to wait until later in the year.
They note there are an impressive array of challenges that await the central bank this fall.
For example, Congress and the White House have made no apparent progress on any way to end the bitter divide over fiscal policy. In addition, a spike in interest rates since the talk of taper started could stall the housing market and emerging market economies are slowing down in part due to take of a Fed exit.

DEXTER Emergency crews were put to the test Saturday morning as they responded to a crash scenario at the Watertown International Airport.
Crews had to rescue 25 passengers from a plane, represented during the drill by a school bus, that, in the scenario, slid off the runway after landing. After recovering the victims, crews in a real emergency would have to triage the patients and begin their medical care.
Joseph D. Plummer, Jefferson County director of Fire and Emergency Management, said the drills setting at an active airport created a new set of challenges for responders, such as knowing where they could operate safely.
Weve had so much growth out here, people dont know where to go, he said. Part of mitigating the risk for responders was accounting for where runways are.
Planes just dont stop; they dont just stop on a dime if somebody pulls out in front of them, Mr. Plummer said.
The script for the scenario included crews springing into action after the initial call to dispatchers by a passenger in the airports terminal. Among the responding crews were the Dexter, Brownville, Glen Park and Sackets Harbor fire departments, Guilfoyle Ambulance and a Lifenet helicopter. The crash victims were portrayed by local Boy Scouts, paramedic class students and other community members.
The Federal Aviation Administration mandates that larger-scale drills like the one on Saturday take place at the airport every three years, Mr. Plummer said.
He said the the skills learned during the drill are applicable to a wide range of circumstances.
When we do these drills, were not drilling just only the situation of this plane crash, but were also drilling other things that we can utilize for other events, such as the triage for the EMS folks, Mr. Plummer said. Theres a lot of times these drills actually intertwine into everyday events that happen.
A similar situation happened in February 2010, Mr. Plummer said, when a Cape Air nine-seat Cessna slid off the runway on landing. No injuries were reported among the aircrafts six passengers.
Saturdays drill also brought out a number of county legislators and newly hired airport manager Grant W. Sussey, who starts work on Wednesday. The new manager said he liked what he saw from the responders during the drill.
Video from Saturdays drill can be found at http://wdt.me/crash-drill.

Lipoic Acid and Omega-3 Fatty Acids for Alzheimer's Disease

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to see if taking lipoic acid plus omega-3 fatty acids (omega-3s) can slow the Alzheimer's disease (AD) process. To see if the treatment can slow the AD process, the investigators will look at changes in memory and changes in a person's daily activities over 18 months.

Drug: lipoic acid and fish oil concentrate
Phase 1
Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized

Detailed Description:
Current pharmacological agents for AD have had no impact on disease prevalence and have had limited effects on improving the clinical course of AD. The exponential rise in the prevalence, incidence, and cost of care for AD make finding therapeutic agents that can either prevent AD or delay disease progression an urgent health care need. Since inflammation, lipid dysregulation, and insulin resistance have each been associated with AD pathology, the combination of lipoic acid plus fish oil has the potential to maximize therapeutic benefit by acting on all three mechanisms associated with disease pathology. Our primary study aim is to evaluate the ability of lipoic acid plus omega-3 fatty acids to delay cognitive and functional decline in people with AD. The investigators will also evaluate the effect of lipoic acid plus omega-3 fatty acids on changes in serum and plasma biomarkers over 18 months to determine which markers are associated with whole brain atrophy (MRI volume changes) and clinical outcomes (ADAS-cog, ADL). The associations identified will aid in the identification of specific biomarkers that may be used to evaluate treatment effects in future clinical trials.

Eagle staffers display off the awards they won at the Better Newspapers Competition.
In the second year of membership in the Utah Press Association, USU Eastern's Eagle newspaper continued to add accolades to its "wall of fame" as the staff brought home four first-place awards, two second-place awards and five third-place awards at the annual winter convention in Springville Saturday night. The awards were won in the Better Newspaper Competition sponsored each year by UPA.
Eagle editor KC Smurthwaite, Boise, Idaho, won first place for Best Sports Column for his "Smurf Turf" series while sports editor David Osborne Jr., West Jordan, won second place for his "Next on the Tee" sports columns. Daylan Jones, Layton, won first place for designing the Best Sports Page and third places for Best Photo Page, Best Advertising Idea and Best Staff Produced Ad.
Kate Johnson, Spring Glen, won first place for Best Front Page design while Jessa Love Adams, Pleasant Grove, won first place for Best Sports Photo.
The design skills of Valeria Moncada , Price, won her second place for Best Feature or Community Lifestyles Page while the staff garnered a third place finish for The Best News Series on the death of Men's Head Basketball Coach Brad Barton. The staff also won third place for the best news photograph of the men's basketball team surrounding their coach's casket at his funeral.
"The best part about winning any award in the UPA contest is that USU-CEU students compete against professionals in the journalism field. The Eagle has the smallest circulation of all the UPA member newspapers with 1,000 papers printed. Kudos to The Eagle staff," adviser Susan Polster, Ph.D., said. The newspaper was judged on issues from spring 2011 with Mae Goss and Kellie Burke-Gabossi serving as editors; and fall 2011 with Smurthwaite as editor. Polster also attributed much of The Eagle's success to Sun Advocate publisher Rick Shaw who funds the UPA fee for The Eagle. "He proposed and funded our entrance into UPA and for this I am deeply appreciative."
The Eagle was judged in group one of the four newspaper categories that include all weeklies. Group one includes newspapers up to 2,500 in circulation. The college newspapers who are part of UPA include Utah Valley University, Brigham Young University, University of Utah, Weber State University, Utah State University and USUÂ Â Â Eastern. Weber State University won several awards that evening with their editor, Nate Davis, previously serving as sports editor of The Eagle for two years.
The Utah Press Association was created in 1893 to represent Utah's publishers. The organization is Utah's oldest trade association. It's website reads, "as an organization, we represent Utah's finest, most respected journalism. Utah Press Association annually recognizes excellence in our state's newspapers and presents awards to industry leaders."

|Did State Inspectors Drop The Ball?
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 11 June 2013 15:07
The ball continues to be passed in the matter of the carbon monoxide gas that has now killed three and seriously injured one at the Best Western Plus Blue Ridge Plaza in Boone. Yesterday, paperwork surfaced that showed that the Appalachian District Health Department inspected equipment
there just below room 225—where the three died—and called for action on the part of the Hotel. But today, Beth Lovette, Director of the Appalachian District Health Department said that their citation had to do with pool chemicals in an enclosed space, not carbon monoxide, "The violation noted relates to ventilation of equipment room to provide worker safety only for handling pool chemicals in a semi-confined space. Ventilation of any combustion gasses from appliances is not part of the health department pool inspection." Lovette said that purview is part of the NC Mechanical Code under the NC Department of Insurance. Tomorrow, State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating and Fire Sprinkler Contractors will be on the scene to further check that scenario. Yesterday, Boone Police and Fire released the 9-1-1 recordings of the two calls regarding the deaths at the East King Street Hotel, the first, the discovery 11-year old Jeffrey Lee Williams, apparently dead and his mother, 49-year old Jeannie Williams apparently not breathing. Boone Police Chief Dana Crawford told the press that they now have some proof of cause of death of Jeffrey Williams and Daryl and Shirley Jenkins, found dead April 16th, "As of this afternoon, Dr. Brent Hall, Regional Pathologist, was able to report Jeffrey Lee Williams was autopsied on June 9th, 2013, and preliminary indications are that he died from asphyxia."Crawford said that the Jenkins died of carbon monoxide toxicity—their toxicology results received yesterday. It was ironic that when the Jenkins were found not breathing, two inspectors from the ARHS were there doing an unannounced inspection, and Lori Durham jumped in to do CPR, according to Lovette.

AT&T is famous among many Android fans as the "anti-Android" network carrier in the United States. This is because of their overhauling of the stock operating system of Android. AT&T and Motorola decided to place Yahoo search instead of all Google search following the first and foremost Android device land on AT&T, that is, the Motorola Back flip. No Android phones are equipped with the ability of installing applications that are "non-market". With the launch of latest phone, AT&T has responded on the FAQ page of Android by saying, "AT&T as the sole source for applications selected Android Market as it emphasizes on the accountability of developers for the submitted apps. Any issues or problems with the app that the Android community faces will result in removal of the app. Thus the hazard of malicious apps that can harm customers is minimized. This way more security can be provided to every customer's personal information that is stored in the phone."
We were astonished on reading this because it actually made sense. Less geeky Android users don't really bother to install apps from the outside the Market. Android users like me and maybe you install apps from outside, as we want our devices to do whatever we wish. The more tech savvy Android users will somehow root their devices or purchase a new Nexus One or shift to Verizon, the biggest supporter of Android.
Android is open, therein lies its beauty. Hence AT&T owns the right to do whatever they want with the Android models that they sell and people who are not satisfied with it can free to buy other company's devices. A question may arise as to why users cannot install apps from sources that are external and do not fall in the Android market. The answer to this question is that AT&T gives is that they wish to hold the developers responsible for the apps they develop and that they have faith on the community.
Android Market was selected by AT&T as the sole source for apps because AT&T emphasizes on the accountability of the developers for the applications that they submit. A particular app can be removed or flagged if Android community has any issue with it. This greatly decreases the danger of malicious apps that could have harmed customers and hence protects the private information of the customers saved in the phone.

Local and state officials said they are preparing to fight to maintain jobs and services at the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center following an announcement Wednesday that its inpatient services will be moved to other facilities by 2015.
As part of a three-year plan by the state Office of Mental Health to revamp how psychiatric care is delivered, the psychiatric centers adult inpatient services will be moved to the Empire Upstate Regional Center of Excellence, Syracuse, starting next year. Children and youth services will be moved to the Empire State Regional Center of Excellence in Utica starting in 2015.
The St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center will maintain its secure sex offender treatment program.
OMH spokesman Benjamin Rosen said the psychiatric centers patient census as of Tuesday was 68 adults, nine children and 90 sex offenders. He said most of the adults and children, excluding sex offenders, will be moved into community care by the time inpatient services are ended. He did not say what would happen to any patients admitted under inpatient care in the meantime.
Its OMHs intention that nearly all individuals currently receiving inpatient care can successfully transition to community-based care with appropriate supports, he said in an emailed response to questions.
The plan calls for an expansion of community-based services at Ogdensburg, which will be designated as a community service hub. Mr. Rosen said what community services will be offered remain to be seen, and will be based on recommendations by a regional center of excellence team yet to be formed. The St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center will be part of the Central New York Region.
OMH said in its Wednesday news release that the plan will provide for continuity of employment for OMH workers, but it was unclear what staffing level the Ogdensburg facility will maintain. The center employs 520 people.
Some positions associated with inpatient care will be shifted to community care positions. Inpatient positions that are maintained will be transferred to facilities that offer inpatient services. Employees also will be given the opportunity to transfer to vacant positions within the OMH system or to other state agencies with appropriate training.
Civil Service Employees Association spokesman Stephen A. Madarasz, Albany, said the plans lack of detail for what the future holds for employees is troubling.
They make allusions to retraining people and moving them into community services, but without specifics, its impossible to be able to really assess what the impact will be for jobs, people, quality of services and availability of services, he said. Right now there are inadequate services in communities, and there is no indication of how this will improve services.
The realignment of services throughout the state could mean that employees will have to take positions elsewhere to maintain employment, he said. Mr. Madarasz said some facilities, including Ogdensburg, will be designated as regional hubs for community services, but OMH has not said what that means.
If you have 100 people at a facility now, and those jobs get reduced to 12 in the regional hub, thats a lot of jobs that have gone elsewhere, he said. What does that mean for the rest of the employees? Do they have to take a job in Syracuse or somewhere else?
Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, said the north countrys state lawmakers will need to work hard to mitigate job losses in Ogdensburg.
There are jobs not directly related to treatment that Im very concerned about, she said. Thats why I will be advocating vigorously to try to retain the services that are currently at the psychiatric center.
State Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, said although the plan is being billed as a no-layoff plan, its likely that staffing levels in Ogdensburg will be affected.
Were waiting for the details and some reassurance that there wont be any job losses, she said. Thats going to come out in the details of the plan, but the conversation I had was that maybe the jobs would be realigned a little differently so that if you were a maintenance worker at the psych center, for instance, you could be a maintenance worker at one of the community homes. But thats really at the crux of the issue. We need more details to know what it means to be a community-based hub.
Mrs. Russell said she worries about how moving inpatient services will affect families who will have to travel long distances to see loved ones, as well as what effect being far from home will have on patients.
These few regional centers of excellence across the middle of the state are not sufficiently close to the populations that need them, she said. We should be maintaining the service levels there, if not expanding them.
We heard from a lot of people who had family members who were treated at the psych center and talked about how important being close to them was to their recovery, Mrs. Ritchie said. Being over two hours away is a real concern. If youre in Franklin County, you have to tack another hour onto that.
Asked whether any accommodations could be made for families for whom traveling to see loved ones in inpatient care would be a hardship, Mr. Rosen said the regional center of excellence team could recommend hospitality housing, discounted hotel arrangements, and web-based video conferencing.
The head of a task force that has been working to maintain the psychiatric center and secure a designation as a regional center of excellence said the groups members arent taking the news lying down.
Its not a win situation, St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center Task Force Chairman Charles W. Kelly said. Theyre talking about expanding community care, which is wonderful, but thats something they should have done 50 years ago, that they said they were going to do 50 years ago, and didnt. The question is whether they will do it now.
Mr. Kelly said the task force has requested a meeting with acting OMH Commissioner Kristin M. Woodlock, and will meet this morning to figure out its next steps.
Were going to fight, he said. The win is they didnt close the whole thing down. The loss is that they didnt make us a regional center of excellence, and they should have.
Mrs. Russell said the state has two more budget cycles before inpatient services are scheduled to move out of the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center, which will hopefully give lawmakers enough time to undo potential job losses and service reductions.
She said money could be diverted directly to the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center to preserve its services.
There is time to try to make revisions to the plan, she said. OMH is making an assumption that the eastern side of the region is going to want to seek services in the capital district. Im not sure that people who have been in a facility for an extended period of time are going to want to make that change.
Mrs. Ritchie said the state Legislatures biggest role could be in making sure money saved from a reduction in inpatient services is funneled directly to community-based care rather than spent elsewhere.
There is always that option, depending on how this plan unfolds and what it means to the community and those receiving care, she said. I will do absolutely everything I can to protect the jobs and services in the area.
Mr. Kelly said he is skeptical about the Legislatures ability to turn the situation around. He said he has been disappointed at a lackluster response from state lawmakers to prevent the potentially disastrous impact the OMH plan holds for patients, their families and the regions economy.
To Senator Ritchies credit, she has worked with us and supported us, but the main work in this thing has come from the task force, he said. Frankly, Im disappointed in where we are. I think we should have been treated better than this.

Archive for the 'Adirondacks' tag
Barn-find 1929 Packard emerges after 50 years, wins best in show its first time out
Photos courtesy Paul Tacy.
Paul Tacy wasn't even sure he had the right place. The Adirondacks are full of long-forgotten barns, garages, and other structures, and nothing on the outside of this particular white ramshackle shed gave a clue as to what lay within. A no-trespassing sign tacked to the front looked like it had weathered there since at least before the Reagan administration, leaves and pine needles had carpeted the roof, and a good six inches of dirt and detritus blocked the doors. Still, Paul wedged one of the doors open a little bit, reached his hand and a camera inside, and took perhaps the first photo in more than 50 years of the 1929 Packard Model 633 Runabout that would become his and that would, with a little work, go on to win a best in show award on its first outing.
Paul, who comes from a long line of Packard enthusiasts and collectors, said over the years he and his family had heard of a Packard tucked away in the Adirondacks, but chalked up the stories to urban legend. "We heard so many things, we didn't know what was what," he said. It wasn't until he heard the same story from Chuck Stoodley that Paul began to assign some legitimacy to the stories. "I kept following up with Chuck until finally he was able to remember the name of the road – Charley Hill Road in Schroon Lake – which is just a half-hour from my house."
Charley Hill Road seems to be one of those places in the Adirondacks that has two types of inhabitants: the native homesteaders whose families settled there centuries ago, and the upper-crust downstaters who build second homes for weekend getaways and winter ski trips. The Seagle Music Colony, which trains opera singers, is located on Charley Hill Road, and a 2011 book by Joanne Treffs, From Wall Street to Charley Hill Road, details the history of the socialites and locals who live there. Paul just had to cruise up and down the road until he found a likely hiding place for the Packard, and as it turns out, the title of Treffs's book could very well apply to the Packard.
"The Packard was bought in Glens Falls in July 1929 by a man who worked
on Wall Street in Manhattan and whose family lived in New York City," Paul said. "He always kept it at the house in Schroon Lake, which was the family's summer home, and when he died sometime in the 1960s, the family just walked away from the house and the property. They still paid the taxes on it, but they didn't go up there at all."
After finding the Packard this past May, Paul then made the right inquiries and got in touch with the family that owns the house and the Packard. "I don't think they ever had anybody serious about buying it approach them," he said. "I invited them to come see my family's Packard collection, and once they saw that we're fourth-generation collectors, they felt comfortable selling the Packard to me." So in July he returned to Charley Hill Road, this time with a trailer and a backhoe.
"There was really no other way to do it," Paul said. "We had to build and cut a driveway into where the car was stored. I had to cut down the trees that had grown up in front of the garage, and then pull out the stumps because I didn't want them to puncture the tires."
And then, with a path clear to the Packard, he was finally able to open the doors and assess his prize.
When Packard discontinued the "entry-level" six-cylinder after the 1928 model year, the Standard Eight replaced it as the least expensive of the luxury car's lineup when Packard introduced its Sixth Series for 1929. Fitted with a 90hp nine-main-bearing 319.2-cu.in. straight-eight, the Standard Eight came in two flavors: the Model 626 on a 126.5-inch wheelbase, and the Model 633, on a 133.5-inch wheelbase. The only Standard Eight roadster (or, in Packard parlance, Runabout) sat on the latter chassis and came standard with the rumbleseat. One of about 17,000 Model 633s built, the Charley Hill Road Packard's disc wheels were standard, but the dual sidemounts were optional.
As Paul found the 99,000-mile Packard, it had sunk to its axles in the dirt, and animal droppings had littered the rumble seat area. A couple of tires had remained in good shape, while a couple others "are smooth as a baby's bottom." The dust of decades covered it, but it didn't appear to have any significant rust and nothing appeared to have gone missing to souvenir hunters over time.
"I almost felt bad washing it," Paul said, but doing so revealed the vibrant red accents and a host of details that he hopes will help Packard and automotive historians, even down to the 1954-1955 New York City tax sticker and 1959-1960 New York State inspection sticker in the windshield.
Such a long rest, however, had not been kind to the straight-eight. While still intact, the engine had frozen up solid, Paul said, so he enlisted the help of his father, Peter, in tearing the engine down and freeing it up. At the same time, they took the three-speed transmission apart just to be sure it wouldn't scatter the first time Paul tried to drive it. Over the next couple of months they inspected and reassembled the drivetrain, with Paul buttoning it up last Friday night.
Though not in a hurry, Paul did have a deadline to get the Packard running: It was scheduled to appear at Saturday's Fall Classic Car Show at Wolfert's Roost Country Club in Albany, the inaugural running of the invitation-only show. For Paul's efforts, he took home a Best in Show trophy, and no less, he took the Packard back out the following day for the Mills Mansion car show, where he met up with the son of the Packard's original owner.
Paul certainly has no plans to restore the Packard and said he's beginning to talk with experts on how best to preserve the Packard so it doesn't deteriorate any further. "I'd like to start hitting the preservation classes with it," he said. "Showing it has been fun so far with all the excitement that the story generates."
UPDATE (25.October 2013): According to local lore, it appears the Packard had been out of the barn at least once since the 1960s. Reportedly some kids had taken it for a joyride around town in the late 1960s. Once the family had recovered the Packard and tucked it away again, they removed the front left wheel (as seen in the top photo) to prevent any future joyriding.

Renegade Panama Don José 1997
Review: Renegade Rum Panama (Don Jose) 1997 (96.5 pts)
Review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted October, 2009
This Rum was distilled at the Don Jose Distillery in Panama, aged for the first initial ten years in Panama; and then shipped to Scotland for finishing in a Port pipe at the Bruichladdich Distillery.
Probably the nicest Rum decanter I have seen. The look includes a high density cork which gives a nice 'pop' when I open the bottle, and I love the decadence that is implied.
In the glass we sense an awesome aroma with oriental spices, and brown sugar. A mild fruity aroma like cherries sits at the very back of the nose. This is extremely complex yet the differing smells act in unison complimenting rather than devouring the rum. I could sit and smell this all day!
The flavour is really nice. However, I have found that this rum really changes a lot based upon what you have eaten and what the weather is like. On hot days it really cannot be beat, but there have been times when I notice the balance between the spice and the sweetness is just barely off. I think this is the result of the port enhancement which gives the rum extreme depth of flavour but also adds one more element to go awry. What I like most about this Renegade is the way the Rum flavours of molasses and caramel are in the forefront. The Port is really an enhancement not a competing element. The main flavours are light brown sugar, oriental 7 spice mixture, and sweet cherries!
So nice! There is a real flair to this rum in the exit. It is very unique and yet completely in balance. The finish is only slightly oily or buttery giving the rum a nice clean crisp landing.
The AFTERBURN (9.5/10)
I always want a second glass.
If you are interested in comparing more scores, here is a link to my other published Rum Reviews.
My Final Score is out of 100 and you may (loosely) interpret the score as follows:
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

Dallas wrote:Not all members of AA are alcoholics. Some are merely "hard drinkers". They look like an alcoholic, they act like an alcoholic, they talk like an alcoholic, and they drink like an alcoholic -- but, the fact is they are not alcoholic. If you read Chapter 3, more about alcoholism -- it specifically addresses them. They do not need a program to recover or to stop drinking. A good crisis, threat of divorce, loss of job, facing a judge, a trip to jail -- and, they can just quit -- and stay quit drinking.
These hard-drinking non-alcoholics that are in AA, can maintain their sober-ness by simply going to meetings or hanging out w/ the Fellowship. They don't need the 12 Steps and they don't need the Big Book.
I nearly died drinking -- after going to AA and finding these types of AA's that were trying to help me. They had fellowship support but no program of recovery. They stayed sober -- one guy for five years and another guy for 3 years -- they didn't take the steps -- and this convinced me, a "real alcoholic" that I could do what they did. I ended up going back to drinking and couldn't stay sober. I figured "well, I already tried what Jack & Bill and those AA's were doing -- so, I know that AA will not work for me."
That's one of the primary problems inside AA today that newcomers are not aware of. They see some guy or girl going to meetings with a message of "just don't drink no matter what, go to meetings, call me if you need to talk or need a ride and I'll be there for you" (with that member thinking he is being helpful)... and the guy or girl ends up dying from alcoholism -- because they got the wrong message. They were real alcoholics -- and the non-alcoholic AA member, that didn't need the 12 Steps as a program of recovery -- did more to harm those alcoholics than he did to help them.
There is two AA's.
One is the book, Alcoholics Anonymous -- it has the program of recovery of AA, which is the 12 Steps.
The second AA -- is simply the Fellowship. Alcoholics that are (supposedly and expectedly) using the program of recovery -- the 12 Steps, in the book.
This is why I asked Bovril the question of "what is IT". The answer, obviously is "the IT" is just meetings and the Fellowship -- with no AA program of recovery.
My suggestion, for members of AA, that do not use "the AA Program of Recovery" in the Big Book is: They should leave AA. They do more to harm and hurt newcomers in AA than they do to help them.
While their motives are good, and I'm sure they are good well-meaning humans -- they could be more helpful by finding venues other than AA -- to help alcoholics. Places like churches or other foundations -- or organizations -- but, not AA.
