|In this hour, Ira talks with a journalist who covers food and nutrition, and a nutritionist who's also an expert on food politics about the 2007 Farm Bill. The bill passed the House at the end of July, and will be up before the Senate in October. The Farm Bill isn't just the business of farming states; it affects what everyone eats, both in the United States and overseas. We'll also talk about nutrition and how we can be sure that we're eating what's best for us. The freshest, most nutritious food is that which is grown locally, but locally-grown foods can be very hard to find. We'll also talk to an author and food activist who is practicing what he preaches, living off the grid in rural Tennessee. He has advice for anyone who wants to improve nutrition and eating habits.

I want to see some of your works in regards to digital art.
I am sure a lot of you guys are artists in the digital realm.
I want to see some of your works in regards to digital art.
I am sure a lot of you guys are artists in the digital realm.
portrait i painted of loric a while back
I approve of thread. Will post when get home.
How do I turn off signatures while reading?
Are you guys being serious here? I was expecting.. well.. sort of quality work.
someone good at art will show up eventually, don't worry
did you see kamilla's picture of xeno in the thread nick posted? quality stuff right there
Not an artist, and I don't know what you consider "Digital Art" but here are a few things I've done.
This is just a basic firefly thing I did a few weeks back. I believe I googled "firefly" to find a random piece of clip-art to figure out the shape to use.
A logo I made for the short-lived Eve Online chapter of Amitabha.
This was a joke/concept I made for a village I was in Wurm Online a year or so ago.
I made this for FarmerM sometime ago.
Edited picture of a girl I knew.
Team Odin signature, made for OnRPG. Also have God/Satan signatures which, when put side-by-side, depict Jesus and Satan arm-wrestling.
Logo I made for the Free Miners Federation, the faction I ran in Fallout Online Reloaded. Everytime I see this, I want to go back and play it more.
A dragon I did. I have a finished version somewhere, but I can't find it. You'll notice that my stuff is shit, this is partly because I use a mouse, which does nothing to help my already shit ability. The main reason is simply that I suck.
Flag I made for one of the guilds I'm in, Duchy of Wessex.
This is just an edit. I added the Wessex logo's and did some other tweaks to the original.
Coin I made for Greed Monger. Can't remember why.
Signature I made (keep in mind that my signatures aren't made from scratch - I just use pre-existing art and do various tweaks to them to fit my needs).
Logo I made for a guild I was in.
Weird TR logo thing I made for a contest back before PS2 was released. I think it was some twitter contest.
Edited version of a picture I drew while trying to teach myself how to draw.
And here is the un-finished, un-edited version. Again, I can't fine the finished picture.
And here's two different versions of a ribbon I designed for Duchy of Wessex.
"....However, as with all things, you will encounter the odd retard and or asshole."

Beaumont/Port Arthur
The first split of the duck season closed with a bang on Nov. 25, with lots of great reports coming in from hunters at the J.D. Murphree Wildlife Management Area and the McFaddin National Wildlife Refuge. The second half of the duck season will open Dec. 8 and run through Jan. 27.
Goose hunts have been hit and miss. Best shoots have been on windy days over rice or plowed fields west of Beaumont in the Winnie area.

Anglers flock to the lower Susquehanna River each year to catch rockfish and catch and release shad. But this season they'll have the chance to cast for a newcomer to the waters- rainbow trout.
Merrie Street Exelon Power 610-765-5750/610-755-1199
Conowingo, Md. (March 19, 2009) – Anglers flock to the lower Susquehanna River each year to catch rockfish and catch and release shad. But this season they'll have the chance to cast for a newcomer to the waters- rainbow trout. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) today released 400 rainbow trout into the Octoraro Creek in Cecil County.
Rick Schaefer, Eastern Regional Manager Natural Resources Fisheries Services says the new Exelon Trail and parking area at the Octoraro Creek provide safe parking and access to the creek for anglers giving DNR the opportunity to stock the creek with the trout.
"Old-timers say we used to stock the Octoraro, but this is the first time in my memory we've set up a put-and-take program in this creek," says Schaefer. "We'll be collecting feedback and talking to fisherman and if this season is a success, we'll plan on adding the Octoraro to our annual put-and take program".
Exelon Power Regulatory Manager Colleen Hicks says the decision by DNR to stock fish in the Octoraro enhances recreation opportunities.
"Since we opened the Exelon Trail last summer it's been a popular place for hikers and anglers. With the addition of 400 rainbow trout this week I expect the trail's popularity to grow," Hicks says.
Since this is a first-time put-and-take program (DNR puts the fish into the creek, anglers take them out and take them home), anglers don't have to wait to cast their lines. They may begin fishing immediately.
"These fish come from our hatchery in Western Maryland and the point of this program is to provide fishing opportunities," says Schaefer. "We want families to grab a fishing pole and enjoy the environment."
Exelon Power is the business unit within Exelon Generation Company, L.L.C. that is responsible for managing, operating, and maintaining the company's fossil and hydroelectric fleet of generating assets capable of generating more than 8,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Illinois, Texas and Massachusetts. Exelon 2020 is a company-wide comprehensive plan designed to reduce, displace or offset 15 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions each year by 2020. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

What a cutie!
Judging from this picture, Hugh Hefner has always been a lady killer.
On Thursday, Hef tweeted the adorable childhood photo of him at just 7 years old with the caption, "A portrait of myself as a young boy in 1933. #throwbackthursday #tbt."
Doesn't the Playboy founder look almost regal in the pic? And the 86-year-old definitely hasn't lost those boyish good looks (but he sure gained quite a libido!).
FYI: When this picture was taken, America was in the midst of the Great Depression, the world was just introduced to television and prohibition was still enforced. Crazy, huh?

Mids Tackle Global Health Issues with Ivy Leagues
Posted on: May 07, 2013 08:00 EDT by Lt. Henry Qui
A group of Naval Academy midshipmen recently competed against 23 universities from across the country in a global health competition hosted by Emory University's Global Health Institute.
The team was led by Midshipman 1st Class Joshua Kotler, a chemistry major and future Navy medical officer, and mentored by Dr. Christopher Kinter, a professor from the academy's chemistry department.
Each year the competition focuses on a public health issue and its global influence. The topic for this year was to propose a plan to the Chinese government on how they can invest in global sanitation in the year 2020 and how this investment can contribute to the country's prosperity.
The team, composed of midshipmen with different academic backgrounds ranging from chemistry, computer science to English, and physics, used their unique set of knowledge and made their presentation a cross-discipline endeavor. The students with a science background worked on understanding public health issues related to sanitation. They also came up with parameters for forecasting models, some of which included disease control, investment in infrastructure and access to materials.
The students who studied computer science or information technology worked on designing, coding and implementing forecasting models. This type of work is often referred to as in silicon, where any given issue can be modeled based on certain predefined parameters. In this case, students took the parameters provided by other members of the team and postulated possible outcomes.
Since one of the criteria of this competition was to market the team's proposal as a public policy, the students who had a keen interest in public policies took the helm and packaged the proposal into a well-defined and easily understood document that provided both clarity and depth.
It was a tough competition, which included many well-known universities such as Yale and Harvard. The midshipmen were the only undergraduate team, and they competed with teams that had students with advanced studies or firsthand work experiences on some of these issues.
The midshipmen worked very hard for this competition since January, with support from the chemistry department and the Navy medical community. Cmdr. David Blazes from Bethesda helped to guide the midshipmen in understanding not just public health issues, but also the intricacy of public policies on a global scale.
Team Navy was the runner up for the Innovation Award and came in 6th place overall. Their efforts and determination demonstrated that in the face of tough competition our midshipmen can hold their own.
In this competition, the midshipmen relied on their academy training including team work, working under stress and deadline, time management and academic rigors. They realized the Naval Academy has prepared them well not just academically but also professionally. Everyone on the team agreed that Team Navy should go back next year and take home the top prize.
Team Navy members:
- Midshipman 1st Class Joshua Kotler
- Midshipman 1st Class Dean Zettler
- Midshipman 1st Class Kevin Martin
- Midshipman 1st Class Erica Leinmiller
- Midshipman 1st Class Michael Delong
- Midshipman 2nd Class Kevin Wilson

Trap, neuter, release: 'We will reduce the number of cats out there'
EUGENE, Ore -- Almost 400,000 people roam the streets of Lane County. Along with them? As many as 45,000 feral felines, cats without owners that live wild in the street -- and breed like, well, cats.
"Just a couple un-spayed, un-neutered cats can reproduce relatively quickly and it just grows exponentially," said Cary Lieberman, executive director of Greenhill Humane Society.
"We do have a feral cat problem in Lane County," Lieberman said. "Primarily they are just out there reproducing. In our community the weather is such that they can breed year-round."
The cats used to be killed, but not anymore. Every week Greenhill Humane Society and Lane County Animal Services spay and neuter more than 60 cats. It's a quick snip that Lieberman said makes a big difference.
"When I first arrived in Lane County, we would take in 500-600 feral cats a year," said Lane County Animal Services Supervisor Tom Howard. "You cannot handle them. They are pretty wild. They were just euthanized."
The trap, neuter, release program is just a year old.
"I think after a few years of trap and release we will begin to see the profit of it by attrition," Howard said, "and we will reduce the number of cats that are out there."
Howard said you should not pet feral cats. They are considered wild animals and are not used to human contact. If you want to bring one in to get fixed, call Lane County Animal Services and they will help you trap it.

State aid: Commission adopts four decisions on regional investment aid for car manufacturers Porsche, BMW, AUDI and Ford Gepubliceerd op: 09/07/2014
Commission Vice President in charge of competition policy Joaquín Almunia said: "The Commission's objective is to ensure that taxpayers' money is only spent to encourage investments that would not be carried out otherwise, and bring a genuine added value to the region. We verify that the aid amount offered does not exceed what is necessary to attract an investment project to a disadvantaged region. Avoiding such deadweight is extremely important to avoid distortions of competition in the Single Market and any waste of taxpayers' money at a time of tight budgetary constraints."
The European Commission has adopted decisions on the compatibility with EU state aid rules of four distinct projects by Germany, Hungary and Spain to grant regional aid in favour of the car manufacturers Volkswagen, BMW and Ford, in order to attract major investment projects.
The Commission has authorised a German aid measure worth €43.67 million to Volkswagen/Porsche in Leipzig because it furthers regional development without unduly distorting competition in the Single Market, in line with EU guidelines. For BMW, also based in Leipzig, the Commission has found that only part of the planned aid was necessary to carry out the project and has therefore authorised €17 million out of the €45 million planned by Germany. The Commission has opened an in-depth investigation to assess the compatibility of aid by Hungary to Volkswagen/AUDI in Győr, because it has concerns that, in view of the strong market position of the beneficiary and the difficult market situation, the aid could harm competition. Finally, the Commission has closed a formal investigation into regional aid for Ford in Spain, after Spain reduced the aid from €24.4 million to €11.2 million, a level which does not require Commission approval.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Cassadee Pope, who was country singer Blake Shelton's protege on the third season of NBC's "The Voice," has won the show's competition.
The 23-year-old singer is stepping out into a solo career after performing with a band called Hey Monday. Her victory over Scottish native Terry McDermott and long-bearded Nicholas David was announced at the end of a two-hour show Tuesday.
"The Voice" has grown into a hit for NBC and was the key factor in the network's surprising success this fall.
The show's status was affirmed by the stream of hitmakers who performed on the finale. They included Rihanna, Bruno Mars, the Killers, Smokey Robinson and Peter Frampton.

Buzz: The Topics That Still Need To Be Discussed
At ESPN Insider, Craig Custance writes that the players came up with a bunch of topics that were to be discussed when the two sides were able to come to an agreement on contract term, CBA tern and make whole.
Those topics are: international competition, transition rules, competition committee, salary cap formula, realignment and discipline.
Custance adds " Talks have hit a stalemate and those secondary issues remain unsolved. The one thing we've learned about these two sides is that they have a hard time agreeing on anything, so it's a stretch to believe the later date resolutions will get banged out quickly."

The Southeastern Utah Health Department indicates that Utah doctors have reported nearly three times more Pertussis (whooping cough) cases in 2005 than this time last year.
Currently Emery County, one of the 16 counties reporting Pertussis in Utah, has families dealing with the effects of this bacterial disease.
Pertussis is spread by having close contact with infected persons who may also be coughing or sneezing. The disease can cause serious illness, especially in infants.
Symptoms of Pertussis include violent coughing spasms, loss of breath, can lead to pneumonia, and may induce vomiting.
"This is serious and with the number of confirmed cases it is imperative that we work as efficiently as possible to reduce the spread of this vaccine-preventable disease," stated Southeastern Utah District Health Department officer, David Cunningham.
Because of the seriousness of the disease, some children whose parents signed a personal exemption form when they enrolled the child in school, are now being told that their children need to stay home.
According to the health department, the personal exemption form states that the guardian understands that if an outbreak of any vaccine-preventable disease occurs, the child for whom the exemption is claimed is to be excluded from the school or early childhood program for the duration of the outbreak/or threat of exposure. The child will be allowed back only when a health department representative is satisfied that there is no longer a risk of contracting or transmitting a vaccine-preventable disease.
"The trend we are seeing in Utah is very similar to the national trend," explains state epidemiologist, Robert Rolfs, M.D. "Pertussis is on the rise among adolescents and older adults.These groups have little or no immunity against Pertussis. They often don't recognize they have Pertussis if they get it and can spread the disease to infants."
Two new vaccines should give prevention efforts a boost because they are the first Pertussis vaccines to immunize people over seven years of age.
The immunity provided by vaccination against Pertussis during childhood does decline over time.That means most adolescents and adults are susceptible to Pertussis. Teens and adults who get Pertussis can give the disease to infants who are too young to have been fully vaccinated.
In May 2005, Boostrix, a Tetanus, Diptheria, and acellular Pertussis (Tdap) vaccine, was licensed for use in individuals 10 to 18 years of age.
In June 2005, Adacel, a second Tdap vaccine, was licensed for individuals 11 to 64 years of age.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices issued recommendations in June 2005 for the new Tdap vaccines, targeting adolescents as one of the primary groups for vaccination.The local health department and the Utah Department of Health endorses the following recommendations:
Adolescents 11 and 12 years of age should be given Tdap vaccine in place of the tetanus-diphtheria booster.
Tdap vaccine should be given to adolescents 13 through 18 years of age who missed the Td dose at 11 to 12 years.
Adolescents 11 to 18 years of age who have already been vaccinated with Td are encouraged to receive a dose of Tdap to further protect against the dangerous Pertussis disease.
The Southeastern Utah District Health Department encourages parents tovaccinate adolescents with the Tdap vaccine and reminds parents to vaccinate infants on time. Infants typically get the Diphtheria/Tetanus/Pertussis (DTaP) vaccine at 2, 4, 6 and 12 months of age.
For more information on Pertussis or Pertussis vaccines, contact your local public health department, or the Immunization Hotline at 1-800-275-0659. For additional information, contact the National Immunization Program at: http://www.cdc.gov/nip/vaccine/tdap/default.htm

Take a good, hard look at Jake Gyllenhaal's nose – it could help you win $10,000. Say what?!
For the next five weeks, a new Facebook app lets you zoom in on images from the movie "Source Code," revealing that each image is made up of a million Microsoft Tags. Scan one of the Tags, and you just might be the lucky winner of an Xbox 360 Console with Kinect or $5,000 – and another $10,000 on top of that if the app gets 1 million scans. It's the Microsoft Tag $10,000 Scan Challenge on Facebook. So spread the word, grab your smartphone, and start scanning!
The movie still from "Source Code" will change each week until the contest ends April 20. Here's the app with this week's picture, showing Gyllenhaal and Michelle Monaghan's characters in serious discussion.
Since the action film isn't out yet (it hits theaters April 1), I can only guess what they're talking about…
Gyllenhaal: "Wait, so a picture is made up of a million Tags?"
Monaghan: "Yeah. It's Tag's Deep Zoom technology."
Gyllenhaal: "But how did they do it?"
Monaghan: "I'm pretty sure it's using Microsoft Silverlight and built on Azure."
Gyllenhaal: "Cool. I'm gonna need to save your life now."
Monaghan: "OK."
In addition to cash or a Kinect, people who scan the Tags can also win a Deep Zoom or "Source Code" poster, so you can look at Jake Gyllenhaal's nose all you want.
The Deep Zoom contest is part of Summit Entertainment's Tag-based promotional campaign for the movie, which includes a Tag on all marketing and advertising materials, including posters, banners, magazine ads, and TV spots. The innovative marketing has received good industry coverage, including this piece in Softpedia.

Quick Reaction to Pettine to Buffalo
This morning the hire of Mike Pettine by the Bills was made official per ESPN.
Former Jets defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, Ryan's right-hand man for four seasons, was hired by the Bills for the same position, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Wednesday morning.
Ryan and Pettine agreed to part ways. Pettine's contract with the Jets is expiring; he declined an extension at the start of the season.
Pettine was sufficiently ready to leave that the first team that made him an offer he jumped at, even if it was a divisional rival.
One more thing, remember when Pettine called it 'overblown' that Ryan was taking more control of the offense this year?
No one will ever know all the reasons that the Jets and Pettine parted ways, but I'd encourage you to go back and read this article from over a year ago from over a year ago to learn some more about their dynamics.
"Rex has an emotional side and sometimes gets a little out of control," safety Jim Leonhard says. "Pettine and D.T. are able to kind of balance him out."
It's an interesting read, and gives me hope that DT will help to balance Rex in the absence of Pettine.
Fly Like a Rocket — Doug Marrone has quickly assembled one of the most intriguing NFL coaching staffs I've seen in the last five years. It's either going to the moon or it is going to crash spectacularly.
Free Agent Flow — There are a number of players on defense that won't be back or will be cut. Most players like to play in a scheme they are already comfortable with and so as Rich Cimini points out, Buffalo is a very likely landing spot for guys like Bart Scott, Bryan Thomas, Mike DeVito, Calvin Pace, LaRon Landry, Yeremiah Bell and Eric Smith … maybe even Pouha?
Give and Take — Watching the chess match now between Pettine and Rex Ryan is going to be very fun in coming years. The two know each other so well, it's going to come down to talent and their team's respective offenses capabilites.

LOWVILLE A Croghan man convicted of raping an underage girl was sentenced in Lewis County Court on Friday to eight years in state prison.
Kurt J. Hazzard, 41, of 6835 Mechanic St., was additionally sentenced to 10 years of post-release parole supervision, registry as a sex offender and $1,425 in court fees on charges of first- and third-degree rape, first- and third-degree criminal sex act and endangering the welfare of a child; he was convicted by jury of those charges May 31.
Judge Daniel R. King also issued an order of protection on the victims behalf that is to run eight years from the maximum release date.
Hazzard was accused of having sexual intercourse with a girl under the age of 17 on multiple occasions in 2011.
Prior to sentencing, Assistant District Attorney Caleb J. Petzoldt read statements from two alleged victims and asked the judge to send a message by levying a maximum possible jail term of 20 to 25 years, noting Hazzard had previously been convicted of sexual misconduct.
He is not a first-time offender, Mr. Petzoldt said. He deserves no leniency.
Defense attorney Paul G. Carey countered by arguing that Hazzard, a volunteer firefighter, is dedicated to the community and has consistently maintained that the charges were fabricated. He also suggested that the case against his client was not overly strong, given that the jury threw out many charges, including those involving a second alleged victim.
Hazzard also spoke briefly in his defense, as did three others, including his two children.
Mr. Carey has filed a notice indicating he plans to appeal Hazzards conviction.
Also in Lewis County Court on Friday:
Lyle F. Davoy Sr., 56, of 9520 Stillwater Road, town of Watson, had his case of second-degree murder, third-degree criminal possession of a weapon and first-degree criminal use of a firearm adjourned to Friday, with a possible trial date set for Nov. 18. Davoy was accused of shooting his son, Lyle F. Davoy Jr., 29, in the upper torso with a 20-gauge shotgun on the night of May 13 outside a Stillwater Road residence, causing the young Mr. Davoys death.
In response to a request from defense attorney Gary W. Miles for a copy of the autopsy report in the case, District Attorney Leanne K. Moser said that document has not yet been completed. Judge King asked Ms. Moser to see if it could be ready in time for an attorney conference Wednesday.
Crystal C. Martin, 35, of 5392 Bostwick St., Lowville, was sentenced to five years probation, a $2,000 fine, a one-year drivers license revocation, $570 in court fees and participation in ignition interlock and victim impact panel programs on a charge of felony driving while intoxicated, to which she pleaded guilty June 7. She was stopped Jan. 29 on Bostwick Street in Lowville.
Brian C. Groff, 16, of 31 S. Main St., Adams, was arraigned on a charge of third-degree grand larceny and pleaded guilty to the charge. He was then placed on interim conditions of probation, with sentencing adjourned for one year. He was accused of helping to steal $40,000 from Wanda Bush-Muncy during the month of May in the town of Denmark.
Benjamin M. Flansburg, 30, of 1999 Kotary Road, Constableville, was arraigned on a charge of felony aggravated DWI under Leandras Law and pleaded guilty to the charge. Sentencing was set for Oct. 4. He was stopped May 10 on Route 26 in the town of Turin with a child in the vehicle.
Justin C. OBrien, 30, Rome, was arraigned on three counts of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, two counts apiece of fifth-degree criminal sale and possession of a controlled substance and one count of unlawful possession of marijuana and pleaded innocent. His case was adjourned to Sept. 13. Mr. OBrien was accused of selling Xanax on Aug. 11 and possessing LSD, cocaine and marijuana Aug. 12 at the moe.down music festival in Turin.
Jerrilee Hartle, 32, of 5380 Water St., Lowville, was resentenced to 11⁄3to four years in state prison correcting a two-to-four-year sentence given in June on charges of driving while ability impaired by a combination of drugs and alcohol and second-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. Mr. Hartle was accused of being under the influence of alcohol and diazepam May 10, 2012, in a parking lot on South State Street and nearly backing into a patrol vehicle.
Jody L. Wetmore, 38, Glenfield, had her case of two counts apiece of third-degree criminal sale and possession of a controlled substance adjourned to Sept. 13. She was accused of selling morphine in October and November in Lowville.

|Cemetery bills pass General Assembly
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Monday, 18 June 2007 19:55
The General Assembly gave its final approval to bills
that would toughen penalties for grave vandals and define abandoned burial
One of the bills makes it a felony to deface a grave mark, tombstone or other cemetery monument, no matter how small the damage. Another bill helps classify abandoned and public cemeteries. The bill came about, in part, to encourage better accounting of these locations by county commissioners and local historical groups.

Unemployment rates decreased slightly in the counties of the High Country in July, but state officials say that the state is still struggling with joblessness. Rates decreased in 86 of North Carolina's 100 counties in July, according to statistics released Friday by the state's Employment Security Commission.
The rates increased in six counties and remained the same in 8. "Unemployment rates dropped in the majority of the state's 100 counties in July," said ESC Chairman Lynn R. Holes. "However, over half of our counties had unemployment rates over 10 percent. Local communities continue to be challenged by the current economic conditions. "

Local Lisburn team Crewe United has gone continental and signed Monsieur Loic Bouchard from Nice, France.
Councillor Thomas Beckett and Mr Tom McKenna greeted Loic when he recently arrived at Belfast International Airport on the direct Nice - Belfast service with easyJet.
Councillor Thomas Beckett, Chairman of the Council's Leisure Services Committee, speaking about Crewe United, said: "It is great news that Crewe United has attracted the interest of a young overseas player and subsequently signed him up to play for the team in upcoming important games.
"Though it is no surprise that the interest in Crewe United has extended outside of Northern Ireland; as over the past 50 years it has invested in the development of the grounds and today Crewe Park is the envy of many more senior clubs."
Loic has been on the youth team books of AS Monaco and AS Cannes playing predominantly as a midfielder and he hopes to make an impression following his arrival.

PAWTUCKET — As PawSox manager Gary DiSarcina and pitching coach Rich Sauveur deftly explained, there are certain and significant areas that require Anthony Ranaudo's attention.
Mind you this particular topic has nothing to do with Ranaudo's ability to throw a baseball. In the promising righthander's case, what DiSarcina and Sauveur are implying is that Ranaudo comprehends the importance of his "other" duties, such as fielding the position and holding runners.
The two coaches touched upon the skills that need shoring up prior to Ranaudo blanking the Buffalo Bisons through 6.2 innings Tuesday night at McCoy Stadium.
"Anthony's a big kid, so he doesn't have a lot working for him when he finishes, which is why you'll see him fall toward the first-base side of the mound. That's why balls hit his way are tough to get," was an observation that became apparent to DiSarcina not long after the 6-foot-7 Ranaudo joined Pawtucket earlier this month. "How do you work on that? You get out and pitch. Anthony needs to experience things by making plays or errors … doing the things that will make him better."
Added Sauveur, "You can't say that you want a pitcher to anticipate (baseballs hit back in his direction) because now you're going to have more attention paid toward fielding the ball rather than attacking the hitter. Anthony does need a lot of improvement on fielding, there's no doubt about that, but when he's out there, he's got to worry about getting hitters out.
"Not everybody can have a good fielding position, especially the hard throwers, "Sauveur continued. "I think he's done fairly well, but it's a work in progress."
On the subject of keeping baserunners in check, Sauveur noted that one motion that the Red Sox emphasize with their young pitchers upon reaching the Class AAA ranks is the slide step. To that end, Sauveur noted that Ranaudo has done a pretty good job in that area. International League teams have successfully stolen just one base during his first four starts with Pawtucket.
"When they get to Boston, they need to be able to hold runners on," said Sauveur. "When they leave here, I want them to be able to have a side step and vary their looks to the plate. That's why they are here – to learn and get better."
Staying on topic, DiSarcina noted, "Anthony doesn't have a slide step, and that needs to improve. The day of having 10-12 guys hitting 45-50 home runs is over. It's about speed and taking extra bases. That's why you don't want to send a young pitcher up and see him get run on where he allows six stolen bases.
"A lot of guys don't know how to slide step. It's not taught in Single-A ball because you're taught to throw strikes and pitch to contact. Holding runners is not a priority," DiSarcina continued. "Once a pitcher gets to Double A and Triple A, it's about polishing up so you can give the catcher a chance to make a throw."
Given his close working relationship with Xander Bogaerts the past few seasons, it's probably not a shock to learn that Red Sox Minor-League Fielding Coordinator Andy Fox was beaming with pride upon learning that his prized pupil had gotten the call to the majors.
"I'm probably as excited as he is just because of the work he's put in and the challenges that he's had," said Fox when reached at his California home Tuesday. "I'm fired up for him. He's worked his tail off to get there."
Fox mentioned that he's exchanged several congratulatory-themed text messages with Bogaerts. More well wishes will probably come Wednesday afternoon as Fox plans to visit AT&T Park to see Boston's game against San Francisco.
"Xander and I would always talk about him appearing in a big-league game," said Fox. "Now I have the chance to see it in person."
Fox doesn't foresee a problem where Bogaerts suddenly becomes complacent just because he's reached the final destination that all professional baseball players seek to reach.
"When he came up to Pawtucket, he had to learn the things that go on in Triple A. It's no different in the big leagues just because it's a new stage," said Fox. "The way he's gone about things and the way he's adapted, he actually has an aptitude where he'll look at it and learn from any sort of challenge."
EXTRA BASES: Doling out playing to two catchers on the 40-man roster is nothing new to DiSarcina. With Ryan Lavarnway back in town, DiSarcina plans to have him and the white-hot Dan Butler in the same lineup on a daily basis. Lavarnway will catch four times a week with Butler getting three starting nods behind the plate. When one is catching, the other one will serve as Pawtucket's DH. "They need their at-bats," said DiSarcina. … Rubby De La Rosa will pitch "meaningful innings" out of the bullpen for the PawSox, according to DiSarcina. "We want to get him into some pressure situations." All 20 of De La Rosa's appearances with Pawtucket this season have come in a starting role. … The PawSox will bus to Moosic, Pa. for a four-game series against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre that commences Wednesday night. The locals will be back at McCoy Stadium next Sunday to kickoff the final homestand of the season, a seven-game stretch that will feature three contests against Scranton/WB and four against Syracuse. … As a friendly reminder, tickets for all potential PawSox playoff home games are on sale. Call (401) 724-7300 or visit www.pawsox.com [3] for more information.

18 U.S. Code § 287 - False, fictitious or fraudulent claims
Whoever makes or presents to any person or officer in the civil, military, or naval service of the United States, or to any department or agency thereof, any claim upon or against the United States, or any department or agency thereof, knowing such claim to be false, fictitious, or fraudulent, shall be imprisoned not more than five years and shall be subject to a fine in the amount provided in this title.
Source(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 698; Pub. L. 99–562, § 7,Oct. 27, 1986, 100 Stat. 3169.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 80 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, § 35,35 Stat. 1095; Oct. 23, 1918, ch. 194, 40 Stat. 1015; June 18, 1934, ch. 587, 48 Stat. 996; Apr. 4, 1938, ch. 69, 52 Stat. 197).
Section 80 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., was divided into two parts. That portion making it a crime to present false claims was retained as this section. The part relating to false statements is now section 1001 of this title.
To clarify meaning of "department" words "agency" and "or agency" were inserted after it. (See definitions of "department" and "agency" in section 6 of this title.)
Words "or any corporation in which the United States of America is a stockholder" which appeared in two places were omitted as unnecessary in view of definition of "agency" in section 6 of this title.
The words "five years" were substituted for "ten years" to harmonize the punishment provisions of comparable sections involving offenses of the gravity of felonies, but not of such heinous character as to warrant a 10-year punishment. (See sections 914, 1001, 1002, 1005, 1006 of this title.)
Reference to persons causing or procuring was omitted as unnecessary in view of definition of "principal" in section 2 of this title.
Minor changes in phraseology were made.
1986—Pub. L. 99–562substituted "imprisoned not more than five years and shall be subject to a fine in the amount provided in this title" for "fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both".
Increased Penalties for False Claims in Defense Procurement
Pub. L. 99–145, title IX, § 931(a),Nov. 8, 1985, 99 Stat. 699, provided that: "Notwithstanding sections 287 and 3623 of title 18, United States Code, the maximum fine that may be imposed under such section for making or presenting any claim upon or against the United States related to a contract with the Department of Defense, knowing such claim to be false, fictitious, or fraudulent, is $1,000,000."
[Pub. L. 99–145, title IX, § 931(c),Nov. 8, 1985, 99 Stat. 699, provided that section 931 (a) is applicable to claims made or presented on or after Nov. 8, 1985.]

As of last night, the American leg of the international fashion-week circuit is officially overÂ--le sigh. But don't get depressed about saying adieu to the frenzy of fabulous parties and presentations, dear readers, because we've got the cure. Today, we're thrilled to present another installment of What They Wore, which will surely cheer you up until your withdrawal symptoms calm down or you get your next inspirational fix from the European shows (whichever comes first!). From Carine Roitfeld's camo coolness to Alexa Chung's uber-cute party outfit, we've gathered a great group of looks for your viewing pleasure. So take your seats, uncross your legs, and get ready for New York Fashion Week, Part Two!
Rachel Zoe
While the road to fashion week may be bananas, once there, Rachel Zoe looked amazing per usual! Striking just the right balance between wearable and glam, the stylist extraordinaire created a nuanced look that was perfect for her front-row seat at Marc Jacobs. The vintage enthusiast mixed a monochromatic, ladylike Marc Jacobs dress with an au courant piece of outerwear, and then toughed up these pieces with sky-high Givenchy wedges and a studded Hermes cuff. The result is marvelously of-the-moment and totally intriguing, just as we'd expect from the Rachel Zoe Project star!
Alexa Chung
On Tuesday evening, the Soho House rooftop transformed into a mystical Mulberry garden party, complete with giant pink roses and adorable life-size paper dolls. The crème de la crème of fashion was in attendance to celebrate the British brand's S/S 11 collection, including one of our favorite tastemakers, Alexa Chung. She fit right in with the darling atmosphere in a Dolce & Gabbana long-sleeve, polka dot dress from the F/W 10 collection and Mulberry's Grosgrain Ballerina Flats ($475). We love everything about her casually cool ensemble, including the finishing touches: a Mulberry Lily Bag ($650) and luscious bright pink lipstick!
Elisa Sednaoui
There's a reason Elisa Sednaoui tops so many best-dressed lists: the Italian-born modelÂ--who was raised in Egypt!Â--is always spotted in super-stylish ensembles and has incredible taste. Naturally we were excited to see what thrilling outfits she had in store for us at New York Fashion Week and she didn't disappoint! Sitting front row at Jason Wu's S/S 11 show, Sednaoui was the essence of spring chic in a heather gray bateau-striped sweater, marine blue tweed organza shorts, and a cool olive trench coat with a checkered liningÂ--all from the said designer's Resort 11 collection. But the enviable fashion doesn't stop there: Sednaoui completed her outfit with Christian Louboutin's Deroba Flannel Wedge Espadrilles ($595) and a Chanel bag.
Dree Hemingway
We are pretty much obsessed with model Dree Hemingway's incredibly cool personal style, and it's safe to say that she holds permanent residence on our fashion radar. So when we spotted the fresh-faced beauty at the V Magazine New York issue celebration on Monday, we couldn't help but swoon over her flawless taste. Hemingway created a comfortably chic look with a loose gray tank layered under an AY Not Dead denim shirt and black Calvin Klein blazer, which she styled with a slouchy pair of Lanvin pants. But our favorite part of Hemingway's outfit can be found on her feet: a covetable pair of D&G leopard-print wedges, which punctuate her understated ensemble perfectly.
Carine Roitfeld
Impeccably turned out wherever she goes and with a penchant for killer pencil skirts, it's no surprise that Paris Vogue's Editor-in-Chief Carine Roitfeld was snapped before the DVF show looking trés chic. World-renowned for her sartorial je ne sais quoi, Roitfeld nailed the on-going military trend by pairing Junya Watanabe's Comme des Garcons Camouflage Sweater ($765) with a subtly studded leather skirt. Her classic gold bangles add a note of timelessness to her ensemble, while her lace-up booties showcase her refined eye for trends. Additionally, Roitfeld's beauty choicesÂ--pale, glossy lips, sun-kissed locks, and smoky eyesÂ--perfect the iconic editor's overall look.
Leighton Meester
Whether she's trying out edgier ensembles (a necessity for her other career in music) or layering on the Chanel (for Gossip Girl, of course), Leighton Meester always inspires us with her winning ensembles. As such, we could hardly exclude her from our fashion week coverageÂ--what would Dorota say?!Â--especially in this head-to-toe Derek Lam Resort 11 ensemble. We love the snowy palette and lightweight layers, which consist of a cropped cotton pullover and silk tunic dress. Also noteworthy: the way Meester toughened up this minimalist look with loads of hardware via Dannijo bangles, including the Astrid Silver Vintage Pyramid Bracelet ($325). But perhaps the most intriguing part of Leighton's look is the flawless decision to pair scrunched white socks with Derek Lam's Cassandre Lace Up Clog Booties ($890). The unexpected choice of transitional-weather footwear marks this outfit as decidedly directional, youthful, and one we can't wait to try for ourselves!Â--Liza Kaplan and Jessica Baker

The nearly 200,000 people who work at CVS pharmacies across the United States will soon have to submit personal health information, like their weight, or face a hefty fee.
The added healthcare cost is not sitting well with some, while others think it is fair and all part of living a healthy lifestyle.
Starting this May, it will cost CVS employees $50 a month or $600 a year if they refuse to turn in their personal health information. A third party will be collecting the information for CVS Caremark, the parent company of CVS pharmacies.
A CVS spokesperson tells us that the company started informing employees about the fee last July.
A health assessment will record an employee's weight, body fat, glucose levels and other vitals. CVS explains that in order "to encourage a higher level of participation in our wellness review, we reviewed best practices and determined that an additional cost for those who do not complete the review was the most effective way to incent our colleagues to improve their health care and manage health costs. "
CVS says the reason for the change in its health policy is to help its employees be as healthy as they can be.
The former Erie County Health Commissioner says employers need to be fair about these policies, and he thinks more companies will follow suit.
"If you drive recklessly and crash your car, then you have to open your wallet and fix your car, but with healthcare it's never been that way, but I think we're going to see it that way in the future," says Dr. Anthony Billittier.
But, some advocates for the privacy rights of patients say that incentives like this are the wrong approach for companies to take.
"They may want a healthier workforce, but they're going about it in a destructive way that really offends people and violates their privacy," says Dr. Deborah Peel.
On facebook, we have already gotten more than two-hundred comments about this story.
Judi says, "I'm pretty sure most companies are doing that now. My company has been doing this for two years."
And Deborah thinks, "Wow, this is discrimination! The world has gone mad!"
CVS says the third party collecting the results will not share information with CVS Caremark.
And, another change in the healthcare policy is coming next year. Smokers who work for CVS have been told they have to quit smoking by 2014, or go through a smoking-cessation program.
Channel 2's parent company, Gannett, participates in a health and wellness program, too. Employees who do not smoke or use tobacco receive a $60 per month wellness credit.

For Whom the Chimes Toll
Let's face it; many staffing firm executives never liked Chimes very much. Maybe loathed is the better word. So don't be surprised if some execs and owners are humming "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" for the next few days.
We suspect that the reverberations from this week's surprise announcement of the Chapter 7 bankruptcy and liquidation of Axium and Ensemble Chimes Global are only beginning to be felt in the staffing marketplace. And soon enough, the shockwave from Chimes is not likely to have many staffing firms involved singing or dancing with joy.
Our phones have been ringing off the hook with tales of woe from large corporations and their staffing suppliers. In the short term, there are over 40 large Chimes client organizations that are now in crisis mode as they attempt to sort out who is working on their site, how to get them paid this week and how to make sure they come back next week. Chimes had an estimated $1.6 billion in staffing spend rolling through its system each year, and that suggests somewhere north of 20,000 temps and contractors each week wondering if their next paycheck will be good.
In the short term, many of Chimes clients are understandably feeling quite blindsided. They are naturally just starting the process of assessing how this happened and what they could have done to prevent it. And the response from staffing firms seems to be a mixture of panic and a feeding frenzy, depending on how much money Chimes owed them and whether they have a shot at picking up a big chunk of the business formerly managed by Chimes.
Over the medium term the biggest impact could be on those staffing firms with less than deep pockets who are owed big dollars by Chimes. Rumor has it that most staffing suppliers have not been paid since the end of November. If that's true, our rough estimates suggest between $100 million and $200 million could be at risk to staffing suppliers. They've already paid their temps and contractors, but could be looking at huge write-offs on collecting their receivables, not to mention an immediate cash flow crunch for some. From the clients point of view of course, they may have already paid Chimes for those temps. The question now is, will they have to pay again to keep their key suppliers afloat? Next step, look for the circling of the lawyers!
In the long term, this meltdown will call into question the financial stability of all staffing firms, and companies will be looking with much more focus at both the financial status of their partners and their disaster recovery plans. That will likely be good for solid performing, financially stable staffing firms, but it might make the world more challenging for smaller firms attempting to play middleman between organizations and their staffing suppliers.
While there may be short term gains for some staffing suppliers, don't look for many bells ringing in celebration. Instead, I suspect we will see a good deal more introspection as organizations and their suppliers contemplate the future of how they source contingent labor. To paraphrase the poet John Donne, "Ask not for whom the Chimes toll. It tolls for thee."

CANTON - Raymond E. Crosby has spent most of his career on the fast-track, selling medical equipment to healthcare facilities and training employees how to use the devices.
Now, the 51-year-old spends his work days distributing food, clothing and advice to area families who need some help with basic necessities.
Earlier this month, Mr. Crosby started his new role as director of the Canton Church & Community Program, a not-for-profit agency created in 1974 by six area churches.
"This is my mission now," Mr. Crosby, Potsdam, said during an interview at his office, 7 Main St. "This is what I want to do."
He was selected by the agency's 12-member board of directors, which launched a search to replace Catherine E. Mathews who resigned in May after serving three years.
Eager for a change and longing for slower-paced lifestyle, Mr. Crosby moved to the north county 13 months ago.
His background includes consulting work and employment with various companies, most recently Johnson & Johnson. He graduated with a degree in the economics of marketing from Southern Connecticut State University, New Haven, Conn.
"I love the north country, and I was trying to find a place where I could give back," he explained.
When he saw the advertisement for the Church & Community Program, he decided to take a leap of faith and apply for the job.
The agency runs a clothing thrift shop and a food pantry that served about 500 families last year.
"I've known an awful lot of people who needed help. I was blessed with a great job and career, and I feel it's my turn to give something back," Mr. Crosby said.
He and his wife, Lori J., have two daughters in college, Chesley E., 22, and Delaney R., 18.
Janet A. Stitt, president of the Church & Community board, said Mr. Crosby's experience working with volunteer boards made him a top choice.
He has served as president of the Greater Amersterdam School District and was a board member for the Amsterdam Big Brothers, Big Sisters Program.
"This gentleman has experience working with a board," Mrs. Stitt said. "It's helpful for us that we will be on the same page going forward. I'm hoping for his sake and for ours that we work well together."
She said the agency's board wants to refocus on its mission statement which is "to provide food and clothing to those in need and to offer referrals or additional assistance and to do so with respect for those we serve."
Mr. Crosby said he plans to make sure the agency's clients know what other services are available and how to access them.
He keeps a two-page list handy that includes contacts and phone numbers for area churches, neighborhood centers, Renewal House, legal assistance, police departments and several other agencies.
He also wants the public to be aware that his agency doesn't just hand out food to people whenever they ask. Clients receive three days worth of food twice a month and must meet income guidelines. He will also focus on applying for additional grant funding and organize fundraisers for the agency.
"We don't take the place of food stamps. We're a safety net," he said. "We want to reach more people who can use our services because we know they're out there."
The agency serves individuals and families from Canton, DeKalb, Russell, Hermon, Rensselaer Falls and Clare. Its board is composed of two representatives each from six Canton churches: Unitarian Universalist, Grace Episcopal, St. Mary's Catholic, United Methodist, Seventh Day Adventist and First Presbyterian.
The thrift shop is open from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Summer hours for the food pantry are from noon to 3:30 p.m. Monday and from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
The agency's phone number is 386-3534.

Annual Admitted Student Day 2008
Annual Admitted Student Day a Success
Ringling College of Art and Design hosted its annual Admitted Student Day on April 19, 2008. This annual event, which is intended for prospective fall 2008 students who have already applied to Ringling College, offers students a surplus of information about the Ringling campus and community, degree programs, resident halls, student life, and much more. The events of the day were well received by both parents and students, with one student quoted as saying, "It was wonderful, well organized and extremely informative (fun too!!). The curriculum….seems perfect for me! Plus my Dad feels a lot more comfortable about paying for Ringling."
From another student, Jose' Yulnar Diaz Amaro, this was a significant day indeed– a day he has been looking forward to for a long time. Amara began his higher education studying programming and computer systems in Mexico, but he has always had a dream of working in animation and the film industry, a dream that the road of programming was not going to lead him down. For Amara, it has not been easy; he first had to learn English before he could even begin his studies in animation. But, over the last 5 years, since living in the US and working on his own art, he has accomplished this task and is now ready to tackle the Computer Animation program here at Ringling, starting this fall. Amara says, "I am very excited to be at Ringling. When I came here and was accepted into Animation, a student told me that it will help to know programming. I am excited about that because I already have a knowledge of programming – this is a dream come true."
During this year's festivities, students and parents participated in campus tours, a Dance Revolution contest, bungee bull riding, 1-on-1 discussions with Ringling faculty and staff, a BBQ with live music, and presentations by Dean of Students, Dr. Tammy Walsh, and Phyllis Schaen, Director of Career Services; They also enjoyed an Island Festival (complete with funnel cakes and snow cones), tours of the academic program buildings, meeting instructors, and chatting with current Ringling students.
This year's Admitted Student Day attendance totaled 509, with 191 of those being potential students. 12 of those students have already confirmed their attendance, paid their fees for fall semester, and will be entering Ringling as freshmen in the fall of 2008!

Parents of Tucson twins accused of child abuse
TUCSON, Ariz. — The parents of 18-month-old twins in Tucson are in custody
on suspicion of child abuse.
Tucson police said Thursday that 25-year-old Kristepher Benavidez and
30-year-old Monique Gaxiola have been booked into Pima County jail.
Bond for Benavidez is set at $20,000 and $5,000 for Gaxiola.
Tucson Fire Department personnel went to a home in response to a child not
breathing call about 2:30 p.m. Wednesday.
They took the toddler to a hospital and police found the toddler's twin and a
7-year-old sister at a neighbor's home.
Officers say the older child appeared uninjured, but the twins had injuries
that appeared non-accidental.
Detectives say it appears Benavidez had been physically abusing the twins for
an unknown period.
They say Gaxiola allegedly was aware of the abuse, but didn't report it.

Faced with severe healthcare changes brought on by ObamaCare, one Pennsylvania hospital will be closing its obstetrics (OB) program by the end of March, forcing prospective mothers to look elsewhere to deliver their babies. ObamaCare has caused physicians across the country to either reduce the number of patients they see or abandon their practices altogether, resulting in the financial and administrative deficiencies Windber Medical Center (WMC) is now facing.
Based on estimated reimbursements under looming healthcare reforms, beginning April 1 the southwestern Pennsylvania hospital, located about 60 miles southeast of Pittsburgh in the town of Windber, will no longer perform baby deliveries, largely owing to physicians who are either leaving or shifting their focus to other practices.
Hospital officials assert that the number of women in the area of child-bearing age is dwindling and that the number of births the hospital would perform is insufficient, as they anticipate lower reimbursements under Obama's healthcare law. In a lengthy statement published on its website, WMC cited several reasons for its decision:
Chairman of the Board, the Honorable David C. Klementik, expressed the feelings of the board by stating, "It is with heavy hearts that we inform the community that Windber Medical Center will be discontinuing its obstetric services." He remarked that it was a difficult decision, but coupled with the recent and potential future changes in WMC OB providers, industry trends and market analysis, the board concluded that the timeliness and cost of recruiting a new team of obstetricians may not be feasible and therefore, may not serve in the hospital's or community's best interest.
WMC President and CEO Barbara Cliff expressed sadness with the development, but described the hospital's vision to create a "comprehensive women's health care program" to provide the community with specialized women's services and superb medical care. "During the transition period, WMC will work closely with its expectant mothers and is currently in preliminary discussions with local providers to accommodate future births," the statement continued. "Extensive and personalized communications will be shared with all current patients, and a WMC liaison will be available to answer any questions or concerns."

How to Remove Date Manager
What is Date Manager?
Date Manager is part of the GAIN system. The Gator Advertising Information Network. It is generally installed with Gator, although it can be installed as a separate application. It installs itself as a drive-by application loading simply by clicking OK on a pop-up ad that appears on your screen. Date Manager displays today's date in the system tray, provides one click access to a calendar, and allows you to quickly set reminder alerts. However, it does this at a price by serving pop-up ads to you courtesy of the GAIN network.
There are many freeware calendar programs that do the same thing as Date Manager, for a list and descriptions of these programs, click hereclick here.
How to I Remove Date Manager?
1) From the Windows Start button select Settings and then Control Panel.
2) When the Control Panel window opens, double-click on the Add/Remove Programs icon.
3) When the Add/Remove Programs Properties window opens, locate Date Manager in the list of installed programs. Click on it one time and then click on the Add/Remove button.
5) Follow the on screen instructions.
Although the above instructions will remove Date Manager, you may still have GAIN (Gator Advertiser Information Network) software installed. GAIN helps keep many popular software applications and services free in exchange for delivering ads, information, and software based on the web sites you view.
Unfortunately, GAIN can only be removed by uninstalling the GAIN supported application. You cannot uninstall GAIN directly. Once the GAIN supported application has been uninstalled, GAIN will uninstall itself as well.
To see the GAIN supported applications on your computer, click on the following link and then continue down the page and click on the link to show you the GAIN support apps on your computer.
As an alternative to the spyware Gator program, I recommend downloading Roboform, a free password manager that works great. Click on the following link to download Roboform. Save it to your desktop and double-click on it to install.

The use of Rubber and Plastic in the same Fin Blade has allowed the manufacturing of Composite Fins. This ability to combine a Soft Thermo-Plastic Rubber (TPR) with a Stiff Polypropylene Plastic creates a fin that is Flexible, easy to kick, yet providing Ample Power to move through the water. Plastic is Lighter Weight then Rubber, so the fin is not only more efficient, it is also lighter requiring less effort to obtain the same thrust allowing the diver to fin for longer periods without any stress.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - The Redskins' much anticipated showdown with our neighbors to the north -- the Baltimore Ravens - is this Sunday. The Ravens are a team with a band -- but not much of a fight song.
Not the case here in Washington, where "Hail to the Redskins" has defined the team through the ages.
Take a look back at one of the strangest moments in Redskins history --- a story where the song plays THE pivotal role.
Redskins fans no doubt can sing at least PART of that song.
But most probably don't know the song could have been lost to history.

Managing Unauthorised Encampments
Birmingham City Council and West Midlands Police first agreed a joint policy in relation to the management of unauthorised encampments in 2000. The policy document encapsulated the procedure to be adopted by both agencies and set in place arrangements for formally reviewing the policy each year so as to ensure that it remains current and reflects relevant changes in legislation and national policy.
The joint policy was created in the belief that those who are camped on unauthorised sites, who cause nuisance or indulge in anti-social or criminal behaviour, should be subject to the force of law in the same manner as those from the settled community who behave in such a manner. Birmingham City Council and West Midlands Police both recognise the role that each has to play and will comply with Guidance on Managing Unauthorised Camping published by the Department for Communities and Local Government.
Enforcement of the law involves a significant degree of discretion as well as tolerance. Previous Government circulars have advised local authorities to tolerate short term encampments; in some areas this was interpreted as allowing all forms of unauthorised camping, regardless of the amount of criminal and anti-social activity. This was never the intention and there is a clear distinction between unauthorised camping where there are no problems and those encampments that give rise to unacceptable behaviour and criminal activity.
In the absence of specific welfare needs the major consideration must always be the degree to which any encampment is interfering with the lawful rights of others. All breaches of the law should be investigated by the police.
The degree of anti-social behaviour usually associated with Illegal encampments requires West Midlands Police and Birmingham City Council to work together in order to achieve an appropriate and effective resolution within the framework of this jointly agreed policy.
A copy of the most recent joint protocol between Birmingham City Council and West Midlands Police on Managing Unauthorised Encampments is attached below for information.
