PAWTUCKET — The defending Governors' Cup Champion Pawtucket Red Sox will play their 2013 home-opener at McCoy Stadium on Thursday, April 11 against the Rochester Red Wings at 7:05 p.m.
The PawSox 2013 season will actually start one week earlier on April 4th when they play the inaugural game at the newly-renovated PNC Field in Moosic, PA against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
The PawSox and Yankees will play a 4-game series from April 4-7 in a rematch of last year's International League semifinal playoff round won by the PawSox. Pawtucket will then move to Lehigh Valley for a 3-game set from April 8-10 before making their 2013 McCoy Stadium debut on April 11th.
Pawtucket's home-opener will begin with a celebration of the 2012 Governors' Cup team as PawSox players will receive their championship rings as part of special pre-game ceremonies.
The initial homestand will feature several special events to honor the first PawSox team to win the Governors' Cup in 28 years.
Pawtucket's eight-game homestand runs from April 11-18 and includes a 4-game series vs. Rochester followed by a 4-game set vs. Lehigh Valley. The series vs. the IronPigs will be highlighted by a pair of weekday matinee games at McCoy during school vacation week on Tuesday, April 16 and Thursday, April 18 both at 12:05 pm.
The PawSox will once again play a 144-game International League schedule with the usual 72 games at home and 72 on the road. (Last year the Sox had 76 home games and 68 on the road because they hosted Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for an extra 4-game set that was moved to McCoy while the Yankees' ballpark was undergoing an extensive renovation all season).
The PawSox will play 16 games against each of their five International League North rivals - 8 home & 8 away. The PawSox will again play 8 games against each of the other eight IL clubs from the West & South Divisions (4 home & 4 away).
All 14 International League teams are back in the same divisional set-up as last year. However, the Buffalo Bisons of the IL North have switched Major League affiliations and are now with the Toronto Blue Jays instead of the New York Mets. The Pawtucket Red Sox and the Boston Red Sox own the longest affiliation relationship (since 1973) in all of the IL.
Pawtucket's home schedule consists of 54 night games and 18 day games with the following breakdown by month: April (12), May (13), June (17), July (13), August (17), and September (0).
All PawSox home night games through early-May will begin at 6:15 p.m. with the exception of Opening Night and the following evening (April 11 & 12 both at 7:05 p.m.).
Pawtucket will commence with regular 7:05 p.m. weeknight starts on May 14 and play virtually all of their weeknight home games at 7:05 pm for the remainder of the season. The PawSox will play each of their Saturday night home games one hour earlier than weeknights beginning at 6:05 p.m. Sunday games will remain at 1:05 p.m. with the exception of August 25 at 6:05 p.m. May 31, July 1, 2, and 3, and August 30 will all start at 6:15 pm with fireworks to follow each of those games.
Pawtucket will play six weekday home matinees on April 16, April 18, April 30, May 21, July 31, and August 14 – all beginning at 12:05 p.m.
The Sox will conclude their home schedule on Saturday, August 31 vs. Syracuse at 6:05 p.m. at McCoy before ending the regular-season on Labor Day (September 2) in Lehigh Valley.
Four teams will again qualify for the International League playoffs that begin on September 4 – the three division winners and one wild card (the second-place team with the best record). The Governors' Cup Finals will be played from September 10-14 while the Triple-A National Championship Game between the I.L. Champ and the PCL Champ will be staged on September 17 in Lehigh Valley.
The PawSox have announced ticket prices for the 2013 season. Box Seats will be priced at $12 apiece. Adult General Admission tickets will be $8 while General Admission tickets for both Children (aged 12 & under) and Senior Citizens will be $5 apiece. Box Seat and Adult General Admission prices reflect a $1 increase from last season. Child and Senior General Admission tickets remain the same at just $5.
PawSox Box Seat Season Tickets are priced at $625 each (a significant savings of 28 percent off the box office price) and include a number of exclusive season ticket holder events. The PawSox also offer a variety of Flex Ticket Packages that allow fans the convenience of choosing from among several games at a substantial savings. Flex tickets can be purchased in quantity amounts of 25, 50, and 100. The price for 25 flex tickets is $175 (general admission) & $300 (box seats). The price for 50 flex tickets is $325 (GA) & $525 (box). And the price for 100 flex tickets is $600 (GA) & $1,000 (box).

I agree... bring back the L1011's!!
The new generation of Airlines are absolute "POS". Even when I started in the cockpit back in 1973, aircraft were NEVER out of service as much as the new ones are. They are not better airplanes, just higher priced!!
That said, it depends on a) what the definition of 'better' is and b) who does the defining.
You and me started just about the same time, and if you think a little bit, it's not just airliners. Just look at cars and household appliances and now all the new technology gadgets that we have. All designed to be replaced rather than repaired.
I believe CHEAPLY BUILT is the operative word here but as you say, NOT CHEAPLY PRICED!
Hey Guys - Where are all the doom and gloom merchants about Airbus now??? Gone very quiet now that it is a Fly by Wire Boeing plane that is going up in unexplained smoke!!
The Boeing (aka McDonnell Douglas) AH-64 is fly-by-wire, and the pilots love it. Is there a major difference in how it works between a helicopter and a fixed-wing as far as reliability?
Park them and bring back the L1011's and MD11's from the desert until they fixed.
I retired in 2007, I was just starting to feel like a BACKUP for the on-board systems of the aircraft. It was not what I became a Pilot for!!
I did in 09 and was feeling about the same. Done some stuff since then and in a CRJ now for the old company and it is actually worse. To see the transition from a 707 thru a 767 is mind boggling.
[This poster has been suspended.]
Give me a good R Nav and a set of KX165 Com/Nav, and a HSI i am good to go. My dad and i was talking about how we used R-Nav alot in the 90's to 2003. Guy we was talking to was a CFII/MEI did not know what R-Nav even was. lol
Well, there are those younger ones that listened, and those that didn't. If they are unlucky, those are the one's we'll read about someday.
From the perspective of the Pax back in 22A, the on-board systems are great- as long as nothing goes wrong. When it does, I'd rather have Preacher as PF than someone with 2,000 hr of flipping switches and pushing buttons.
I agree 100% !!
Photo of the plane with firetrucks responding: http://www.wcvb.com/news/local/metro/Heavy-smoke-reported-in-Logan-plane/-/11971628/18035428/-/n1dvwc/-/index.html
Only the L=1011s. The DC-10s and MD-11s just couldn't cut it with their fuel use. Nice looking and reliable but not economical. The Lockheed was the "heat" and should be put back into production.
leave fly by wire to Airbus is the conclusion
What kind of remark is that? What does this incident have to do with fly by wire? And Airbus' fbw is not perfect either. If everything in aviation is perfect, the ntsb would be unemployed.
See my comment above about FBW
lithium ion batteries? fire in the same hole as 2 others.... carbon fiber airplane... don't like it, don't like it
jeeeeez what will be result if happens in flight?
Good news: it's electrical. It could be mechanical or structural and that would be devastating.
Bad news: it's electrical. I hope they've pared-down the places on the system that are the likely culprit(s) by now.
worst news - its electrical, the plane is fly by wire
With any plane, there are redundancies built into it. This is the third incident of a 787 with at least smoke - United had one a couple weeks back and there was another one that had to emergency land back during testing. They'll iron it out. The backups are working.
Actually, that's not the worst news.
The worst news is that it appears to be unrelated to the previous problems (APU, turbine blade failure). If all reported 787 issues had the same symptoms and root cause, there'd be one problem to fix.
They are saying its a battery.
I read that de 787 uses about 1.4 MW electricity. I.o.w. enough electrical power to supply 600 households. It also uses electricity where other airplanes use hydraulics. It should not be an airplane with electrical problems.
True, but in a perfect world there would not be an airplane with problems, full stop.
Not an airbus vs Boeing thread, we left that in the third grade along with "my dad can beat up your dad"
This is SCARY, it reminds me on Microsoft policy: "let's first sell products and then we'll fix the problems"
Bishop is right, although here in Canada it's all over mainstream media. Big fat black eye for Boeing
Bad news, but they know where to find the problem, so I am guessing Boeing already has a fix in mind for it.
While I understand that any new aircraft is going to have some teething problems the number of electrical issue and resulting fires has me spooked. I'm not sure that I would fly the 787 right now.
Geeeeeeezzz people. It was the battery that starts the APU while it's on the GROUND!
Take a reality pill and relax. It has nothing to do with the electrical infrastructure or the fact it's made of "plastic".
Brian is right, but its not the first issue with the 787
and there is another incident with a broken cockpit window...on a new plane ???
Wasn't there another one or two window cracking incidents? If so, I wonder if the windows were from the same lot.
In agreement with Jon Van Staalduinen, Lets get back to using something previously proven . .Why not just update with the new aloy skin and fuel saving engines ? You can always configure with the current day passenger perks !
Sabotage? These failures are simply too convenient
Nah! snakebit, just a string of bad luck. They could just as well happened in Japan and we'd never have heard about them. They just all happened to happen at Boston cause that's where the flights arrive/depart from.
Upon further research most if not all of the L1011's have been crushed. Same with most of the DC10's other then the ones FedEx saved. Look, the 787 is going to be fabulous plane, just give it some teething time.
Not sure if this still applies, but back in the day that car manufacturers did a major remodel to a car (I think it was every 4 years) to encourage the public to want a new model, my dad always waited until the 2nd year the "new" version was out. His mantra: never buy a first generation, wait until the kinks are ironed out. Sounds like the same thing with the 787 and probably a lot of new products. (Please don't let the 787 be an Edsel.)
So that was the problem. Funny how people quickly blamed the plane without the investigation being complete. The media is generally inaccurate when it comes to technical things like aviation.
It was a ground restart battery system. Sounds like something on the ground was hooked up incorrectly to blow the battery. Also 2 incidents at Logan in 1 week, ????
Well as far as 2 incidents at Boston. If it's ANA, that's where they'll be, as far as East Coast goes, with regular service in/out of there
Too bad Lockheed never developed a wide body twin, would have been pretty slick
Give it a rest. Can't anyone see what this administration is trying to do to Boeing ?
Does anyone remember SC, Boeing , and the Fed at Boeing's throat ?
ALL new aircraft have minor problems. If you actually KNEW what these published problems were , you would realize they are blown way out of proportion.
Case in point. SOMEONE, forgot to replace a fuel vent valve on a JAL 787 after fueling.But, no we won't mention that! This, OBUMMER media makes me sick.
I count about 2 dozen still in Delta colors in the desert
The more the wiring, the more danger, you can't believe how much wiring in on these new aircraft.
..And now reports of a second 787, in two days ... with problems, this time a fuel leak was noticed just prior to take off at BOS.. and again JAL
Speaking solely as a passenger with no technical expertise but with a lifelong love of flying and aircraft, these comments on the 787 make me feel as though I ought not get on one of these planes for a few years.
stuff happens
It is not as big of a deal as the media makes it out to me... Take what the media says with a grain of salt. Where this has gotten a lot of media attention, it is not nearly as bad as it is made out to be Bad news sells and thus makes them money. I have worked in the airline industry from a maintenance stand point and seen how the media makes a small nothing into a big deal and makes money off of scaring people and perfecting non news in to something that looks like news. Best thing is to ignore them and keep going
Makes you wonder why they have not beet crunched into razor blades and soda tins yet
Regarding 'fly by wire' , pilots who learned to
fly these electric jets , lack the 'seat of the pants'
flying skills ( except those who learned to fly a glider)
Look at the horrible accidents with fly by wire
planes in the last 10 years such as the AirFrance
crash over the Atlantic. Frozen sensors and software
not coping with these occurences... and a panicking
cockpit crew.....
Not typed in any of them. That said, all of the later planes have pieces of it in there. As I understand it, the functions are still there, just eletric and computer assisted rather than hydraulic. I mean you have throttles, trim, flaps, spoilers, etc. No plans to go there but I was doing some looking the other day and while the 777 is basically a FBW, there is no difference in basic controls of the 767, in which I am typed. I think our problem is a generation of button pushers, guys that only push a button or flip a switch that automates those basic functions, rather than staying manually proficient on them and knowing how to fly the plane.
@preacher1 : exactly right !!!!
Bravo !! Well said !!
FBW is not the issue with losing "seat of the pants" piloting acumen. As Preacher says below, it's button pushing automation.
You get seat or the oants feel by manually moving a control lever and feeling the plane respond, not necessarily by the mechanical acutaltion of the actual control surface.
Hell I didn't realize for a year that my new car didn't even have a throttle cable! It's all electronic. I move the pedal, the car speeds up. Does it matter if there's a mechanical linkage, a cable, or potentiometer and servo?
I really think one reason that everybody is uncomfortable with FBW is the fact that hydraulics have been there so long and very reliable. Same with your throttle cable and other mechanical linkage. That said, over the years, there have been problems with these others as well. Technolgy will advance and FBW and it's derivatives will become accepted and we will go on to something else. As I have said, in years past, we haven't had Internet or National media to let us know almost instantly of every little happening. In addition to that, we now have the exaggeration factor, in wihich a cut finger in ATL this morning becomes a broken arm in LAX in early afternoon.
Preacher, do you think the 'instant information' phenomenon has had an effect on the overall attention span of the public? Is seems with the information overload, things just get lost more quickly. Or am I just getting old?
I didn't see this earlier Joel or would have responded earlier. In a nutshell, there dosn't see to be an attention span any longer than what the media keeps an item out there. They kep Sandy Hook in the foreforefront for about 2 weeks and it was on the tip of everybody's tongue. Then the started shifting focus and now, to a whole lot of folks, it's just something that happened as have all the rest of the similar tragedies have come and gone.
There is also the issue of carbon fibre composites, aluminium has a memory, it can take only a certain number of stresses. Composites are light , strong , but they break if overstressed. What is the lifespan of a composite airplane ?
Only the future will tell !
I think I will keep flying the a380 for now
Ok - Go ahead and try to operate an A-380 on the BOS-NRT route.
Didn't the a380 start out with wing cracks and engines blowing out?
Very scary, and the only better place for it to occur is the maintenance hangar.
Its like the spaceshuttle, O rings by the lowest
bidder.... We know know where that leads !
High tech airplane being supplied by the lowest bidders. What can possibly go wrong?
This is the most scary report i've heard about the Dreamliner. Modern jetliners can deal with Engine Failures, and minor electronic malfunctions fairly comfortably, but if any kind of fire were to happen in flight, that has the potential to cause numerous fatalities.
wow! looks like they have big time electrical problems... isn't this the 3rd or 4th one? Think I'll skip riding on the 787 for a few years until they get things figured out
Im just as much as a boeing fan as the next yank but I think Tom is right. I hope Boeing comes out with a strong statement or they see those options start to evaporate.
I would still ride a 787, what a beaut.
It was a battery slow down on your WOW. That can happen on any AC and even in your car.
Unfortunately, Boeing has shot itself in the foot with the 787. Badly assembled fuel system components leading to potentially disastrous leaks, batteries bursting into flames - all these faults indicate poor quality control in the assembly of the plane, ineffective quality testing prior to delivery - sure signs that the plane was rushed into service before it was properly sorted. Car manufacturers have been using the public to do its final testing for years, but with aircraft this is not a sensible policy. I wouldn't fly in a 787 at the moment - possibly not ever!
Boeing should have kept the bulk of the work on the plane at home. I remember during development, some parts sent from overseas did not fit in assembly.
Talk about a mess boeing has with it's 787's "dreamliner's" There a joke!!!
I have never figured out why they took the L-1011s out of service. The MD-l1s were gas hogs and weren't practical to keep in service. The L-1011 was one of my favorite crates. I wish that Lockheed would hire a good sales staff and bring them back. It was a beauty. Lockheed and Rolls Royce went through a lot just to drop the ball. Poor sales was the reason but I'm a believer that it could be sold with a proper sales staff and publicity program. I believe in progress but you can't beat perfection and the 1011 was pertnear perfection, IMO.
3 engine airplanes were only an interim until 2 engine ETOPs airplanes were proven. It's all about fuel ya know.
Well, 16 years was a long ride for the L1011 as an interim. A big part of the l-1011's problem was with Rolls Royce's problems with it's financial condition and not the Airframer. Seems like they could carry 350-400 people, depending on config and were one of the first with auto land. They have probably thought about briging them back, but you probably wouldn't see anything close on fuel as these newer twins, and that is the 800 pound gorilla in the room. Knowing DAL Tech ops, anything is possible though.
The L-1011 was sorta like Studebaker of its time. Well ahead of itself. It was an excellent plane that did more than anyone else. It did have some maintenance issues. I know people who have worked on them and they say one of the worst items of that plane was the Cargo Compartment Door Rigging. All Electric and involved 14 relays to close and another 14 to open. A real night mare... But working well, she was the king for many years. There are still a few around and getting more rare every day.
To guys without Tristar Time it might seem like Ev is going a bit overboard. He's not. Talk to 10 guys who flew the L-1011 and at least 8 will say "Greatest Airplane I eever flew." Everything worked as advertised, it met or beat the Charts- but the 10 came out a little earlier and was a little cheaper. Heard that the early RR 524's had some lube problems, but our 524B4's on the -500 were wonderful- "Happiness is an N3 Gauge."
Where you been anyway? You ain't been on here in months.
Been reading it- I guess it just took Tristar comments to wake me up! Reminds me- flying a brand new 777 across the Right Hand Pond in late '95...... a Delta guy comes up on Common and asks me if I'm in a 777........."Affirmative." "How do you like it?" "Fine.... it might be a Video Game but it's a nice video game. What are you in?" "1011-500" "I'll trade you even." "You must be Former Pan Am- me too." "Come up on Pan Am Common...."
I'll never tell what Pan Am Common is (was).
Dang! Am I ever 'way off thread! Sorry about that!
Gotta go........ I'm going to buy some Boeing Stock when you Doomsayers run it down!
Did you ever 747 train at Roswell?
These electric planes are flying Casinos !
in the end you loose your money and in the worst case your life ! and all this because fuel gets
more expensive..
And now a plastic plane.... OMG !

We do not need you. Get out of here.
Sturm und drang!
post in english you moron.
well, "Sturm und Drang" is found in Webster's. So perhaps its usage is in the English language- thus it may well already be 'in english'
I believe I'm correct in saying there's a more civilized and appropriate way of getting your thought across, Mr. Kruspe.
No, Donna. In America we speak, ENGLISH !
Only a moron would post in a foreign language.
Stupid is, as stupid does.
Agreed, and in the Aviation Industry, English is the universal language around the world.
No, Mr. Kruspe, people with social skills and and a broader perspective welcome and encourage diversity. How do you ever learn when living with such a closed mind? (That's a rhetorical question, incidentally._)
Umm DOnna, you knwo what you can do with your "diversity"..Think where the sun don't shine.
This is America. We speak and write ENGLISH here. Don't like it? Don't let the door hit you on the way out..
We're SICK of political correctness.
Mr. Young - I had thought this issue was done and dusted. However, I will respond to your note. You seem to be unaware that at one time your ancestors emigrated to America, as did everyone who now lives here, other than Native Americans. I wonder what and / or where you would be today had they been told to let the door hit them on their way out. You display a very un-American philosophy. And since when is it offensive to speak anything but English. Some people's narrow-mindedness is astounding. What, may I ask, is so wrong about being correct?!
Donna, I am not endorsing the gruff attitude, but I for one am tired of diversity and pressing "1" for Englis. As Sparkie says, English is the universal language of aviation, and while Mr. Martinoli makes his comment below, I guess it apparently struck some nerves, on thread or not. Frank, no offense taken but I for one ame tired of diversity and political correctness.
I get it preacher, and as it is off thread this will be my last: I agree those issues have been taken to the extreme, however, whatever has happened to what the Statue of Liberty stands for? Diversity is exactly what makes this country of ours so great. I get it that English is the universal language of aviation - but I wonder for how long. Mandarin is the most widely spoken language on the planet - some day maybe, eh?
Donna. English is the language of aviation. I know that.
I wonder if there's an official language of internet?
By the way, I heard that at some time in the past that Russian is the official language for spaceflight ops. Any updates to that?
No idea Frank, but I'm sure there's tons to be found on the net. As far as the internet language is concerned - all rules seem to have gone out the window. Be well and stick to your guns. It's nice to read all the posts particularly those by people who are advanced enough to not have to resort to being rude.
As I said. "Now let's drop it as not related to the general subject."
You are fighting a losing battle.
You are twisting the meaning of what the Statue of Liberty represents. FYI, those immigrants who's first vision of this country was that Statue. The next thing they thought of was "how do I become an American?"
We have a common language and a DISTINCT culture here.
Last shot at your dopey comments....GO LEARN MANDARIN...Be my guest.
Not surprising you don't understand irony or a bit of humor. For your information, I'm not fighting any battles. I'm stating my opinions. I am entitled. (PS-glad to hear it was your last shot-you're an ignorant bore.)
preacher - none taken. I'm pretty much against political correctness in all it's forms.
No reply required.
Geez! I had no intention of creating a firestorm with a quote from Wagnerian opera. Thanks for your support, Donna.
As for Officer Kruspe, Take a line from West side story.
Now let's drop it as not related to the general subject.
Fire, smoke and jello. In other words, Bla,bla,bla.
Your rude comments aren't needed Mr. Kruspe.
Only idiots speak when there is nothing worth said is being spoken... Either speak constructively, or nice knowing you... Well forget the last part. :)

Manchester superintendent tries to stem Hooksett defections
MANCHESTER - The city's Board of School Committee fired off a letter to the Hooksett School District on Friday, demanding that the town rescind its approval for nearly 50 youngsters to attend school outside the city next year.
"This obvious and deliberate attempt to circumvent the Agreement must stop immediately as it is an insult to our intelligence and an intentional breach of the Agreement," Superintendent of Schools Thomas Brennan wrote.
It's the latest salvo in an increasingly bitter battle between the two districts over class sizes.
In December, Hooksett filed a breach of contract claim against the city, claiming that overcrowded classrooms qualified as a reason to let the town out of an agreement to send its high school students to Manchester schools.
In his letter, Brennan said it is the Hooksett School District that is in breach of contract, not Manchester.
Under the agreement between the two school districts, Brennan wrote, Hooksett is supposed to send all public high school students to Manchester except the "few" who petition to attend another school.
However, he said, nearly a third of Hooksett eighth-graders have been granted approval to attend other schools next year.
Earlier this month, the Hooksett School Board rejected a proposal from Manchester to cap class sizes at 30 and cancel most classes with fewer than 15 students, enrolling those students instead in on-line courses.
Hooksett board members and parents voiced concern that would slash Advanced Placement courses and other classes required for seniors to graduate.
In Friday's letter, Brennan wrote, "The Manchester Board of School Committee is disappointed with the manner in which the Hooksett School Board has forced our century-old relationship to reach this level of dispute."
Asked to comment, Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas said, "The letter speaks for itself."
Gatsas said Hooksett taxpayers could find themselves paying twice for their children's education. "If they do pay tuition to other schools, I think they're still going to be liable to pay tuition to us," he said.
Gatsas also said other school districts may be complicit in violating the Manchester-Hooksett contract. "The school districts that are courting them need to be careful that they're not interfering with our contract," he said. "If the Hooksett School District would like to remove their letter saying we're in breach, I think we'd like to have a conversation on how to maintain our 100-year relationship."

text:
As part of the agreement to end the partial federal shutdown and keep the government funded for the next few months, Congress established a complex process to set federal spending for at least the current budget year, and possibly the following year as well. Both of Maine's U.S. senators are playing key roles in that process, and say it won't be an easy exercise. Mal Leary reports.
Passing a federal budget is a complicated process, to say the least. Under the agreement reached in October, a special committee of members from both the House and Senate budget dommittees have been charged with setting an overall spending amount.
Sen. Angus King, an independent, has been named to that panel, and at both public meetings of the group has express frustration.
"As you saw, at the meeting on Wednesday, there was all this talk about general economics and I said here?s a proposal,"
King says he doubts that his plan will be the solution, but he says the panel has to start talking specifics. King's proposal would cut in half the sequestration cuts over eight years by closing what he calls corporate tax loopholes and by making cuts in entitlement programs.
He says he deliberately left out specific details because that is not the job of the budget committee. The panel is responsible for setting a spending number, and he says that will be difficult to accomplish.
"Everybody is talking about a small agreement, an agreement that only affects a year or two, that ought to be doable. And there are a lot of ideas out there. So, I am hopeful, but I would call it mildly optimistic. There are so many ideological and political differences, ah, it's going to be tough."
King says most Republicans are saying "no" to any new revenues, and some Democrats are refusing to accept cuts to entitlement programs, such as Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security and food stamps. He says negotiations are underway between the co-chairs of the panel, Sen. Patty Murray of Washington and Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan. But other talks have emerged following fears that they won't reach agreement.
"It's a delicate situation you don't want to undercut your chair but at the same time you want to have discussions going on so there is a fallback if they can't reach agreement."
King says it's important to reach the overall spending number by Dec. 15 because the Appropriations Committees will then have to do the actual allocation of dollars among thousands of budget line items. Maine Sen. Susan Collins, who sits on the Senate Appropriations Committee, says the members will need time to do their job.
"We do go account by account, program by program and have to determine what the appropriate spending numbers should be. And we are operating in a budget environment that is going to be very constrained. It is going to mean that a lot of worthy programs are going to see reductions."
Collins says she is willing to support eliminating tax breaks as well as making targeted cuts. She says the sequestration process, with it's across the board cuts of so-called " discretionary spending," is hurting the economy.
"It may be called discretionary, but it includes national defense, education, transportation, biomedical research and a host of other vital programs. I do think that we have to put everything on the table."
Collins says she was pleased to see King put a plan forward, even without details. She agrees that both the budget and the appropriations process will need members of both parties in the House and Senate, as well as independents, to compromise.
Otherwise, she says, there could be another partial shutdown on the horizon, once temporary spending measures run out on Jan. 15.

Hi all,
I have a project I am currently planning; it is for my business/home network. The project is pretty involved for a SOHO network. I'd like to get some input, advice, recommendations, etc.
Much of the project is in place and functional; but I am completely revising it to add Gigabit LAN and some legacy Cisco gear for L3 routing / L2 switching to the WAN and to isolate my business.
Most importantly of all I am building my first NAT/Firewall (Multi-homed PC), my first DMZ, my first Linux Mail Server; my first RRAS/VPN; my first Authentication Certificate Server; my first Privilege/Authorization server; my first NSM (all of which will run in the DMZ). I'll be running DHCP services so I'll need relay agents, configured appropriately, etc.; and, at some point I'd like to begin hosting my own web site (though the trade-offs may not work for me...I am still not sure about this one).
This project will be mostly complete within the next 21 days, though certain components will develop over the next 12 months. Much of it is so I may serve my customers; much of it is for certifications; much of it is for personal home use.
I am doing this while serving my clients, studying, and trying to enjoy life a bit.
I have:
§ 1 Cisco 1700 Router
§ 1 Cisco 2600 Router
§ 1 Cisco 2900 XL Catalyst Switch
§ 1 Linksys SRW 2008 Gbit 8 port Switch w/ mini-gbic uplink
§ 3 Linksys EG005W Gbit 5 port switches
§ 1 SMC 2804WBRP-G Barricade F/W
§ 11 Servers (each with multi-disk; multi OS configs: all x86; multiple versions of Svr2K8; Svr2K3; XP; Vista; debian; slackware; fedora; Redhat; Centos; SuSE, Solaris, free BSD)
§ Four clients (home computers)
§ Two network printers (one photo; one tri-color laser)
§ A photo scanner
§ PDAs (wireless and direct)
Three French Hens
Two Turtle Doves and
A Partridge Family Greatest Hits Album
I want to achieve:
§ Full Gigabit Backbone for the LANs; 802.11g for the wireless (WPA and Mac filtered: large omni-directional antenna already in place and functioning well)
§ Fast Ethernet for Routing beyond the LANs to the WAN interface; /30 subnets for all routers)
§ Entertainment: 2x homegrown multi-head DVR servers; Linux with Myth TV, will Backup/Retrieve to/from SAN (only one disk inside for the OS)
§ SAN: 2x homegrown Linux towers; 11 disks ea., 5.008 TB (10x 500GB; 1, 80GB) RAID 1+0
So, anyone up for helping me mix and match this menagerie of "GRRRR Animals?"
I have some direct questions I will ask right up front. My first one is this:
Question: If I multi-home a PC to make it my firewall. It must be absolutely secure. I know I can assign multiple IP addresses to a NIC; therefore, I would like to assign the WAN address to the WAN NIC but I'd also like to assign a /30 IP address to that NIC, as well, for routing to the LAN NIC which will also be a /30 IP address, the only other device on that same subnet.
1. Would doing this allow the box's routing function to operate properly?
2. Would doing this compromise the security of the firewall or the network, in any way?
Thank you in advance for all of your suggestions and recommendations.
The only thing I'd put in the DMZ would be the servers that people need to access from the Web. For a small office, everything else can reside on the same network.
Depending on your wireless security concerns, you may also want to put the wireless on a separate leg of your firewall, but if you are using WPA2 for wireless encryption, this may not be necessary as the standard is robust so far.
Keep the network as uncomplicated as possible at the beginning with most servers and PCs on the same network. (except for the DMZ). That way you have one less thing to troubleshoot.
As your confidence grows, consider network segmentation. You could make this part of your 12 month set of goals.
Keep the IP addressing simple for your firewall. Use the subnet provided by your ISP for the WAN NIC, and use /24 networks for your DMZ and SOHO networks. Routing from a /30 to a /30 isn't required. As long as you enable IP forwarding (routing) on your server, with NAT too, your access to the Web will be fine.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — The euro was slammed Monday, with a 4% tumble against the Japanese yen coming after early results from Italy's general election raised questions about the future of the country's financial reforms.
The euro EURJPY, +1.02% against the yen in late-afternoon trade in New York sank to a low of ¥118.77, reversing earlier gains that put the shared currency at a session high of ¥125.34, according to data from FactSet. The euro on Friday settled at ¥123.12.
Against the dollar EURUSD, +0.7182% the euro fell 1.1% to $1.3074 after trading as high as $1.3319 earlier in the session.
The euro's rally early Monday came to an end after media reports indicated former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's alliance had a strong showing in projections from the country's bitterly contested general election. See: 'Worst-case' fears rise on Italian election results.
After the "stunning 6 big figure reversal" against Japan's currency, the euro is down off its early February high of ¥127.71, "and at this point we would argue that most of the correction is done," Richard Gilhooly, interest-rate strategist at TD Securities in New York, wrote to clients Tuesday. "We have argued in recent weeks that such a correction was likely, but obviously most of it coming in one day or on the Italian elections was not the most likely scenario."
A neck-and-neck race had emerged between Democratic Party leader Pier Luigi Bersani's bloc and Berlusconi's alliance in the Senate. There also appeared to be a three-way tie in the lower house between Bersani's bloc, Berlusconi's alliance and Beppe Grillo's 5-Star Movement, according to Italian state broadcaster RAI as reported by newspaper La Stampa.
Earlier media reports said exit polls showed Bersani on track to win Italy's election.
"Unlike in the United States or in other European countries, the Italian Senate and the lower house share power; so if Bersani can't generate a coalition in the Senate, Italy essentially is ungovernable," Christopher Vecchio, currency analyst at DailyFX, wrote to clients.
A victory for Berlusconi's coalition had been regarded by some as a threat to Italy's deficit-reduction measures that are aimed at stabilizing the country's finances, and are seen as aiding in the improvement of financial conditions in the troubled euro zone.
Final Italian election results are likely to become available on Tuesday. See: Goldman Sachs handicaps 3 possible Italy election outcomes.
A best-case scenario for the market would see a center-left coalition that includes technocratic Prime Minister Mario Monti, analysts said, while an inconclusive result or a strong showing by former premier Berlusconi would likely unsettle markets. See: Could Berlusconi dent the global stock rally?

Mrs. Flinger: A work in progress
Fixing Mrs. Flinger Feb 20, 2015
I'm currently working on this website. I want to add back the links to blogs I love, some ways to find content easier, and put in archive, at last, some of the ancient articles. Come back to see updates.
Win an ExpressionEngine Freelancer License! Dec 16, 2010I get asked to do a lot of giveaways. Why don't I? A lot of the time it's crap. People, I have no shortage of crap.

#Life#The Flinger Family#Those Little PeopleMy daughter came home with her usual bouncy, free spirited, attitude. She usually rolls through the door like an electrically charged ball, so when she flopped through the door with the daily spastic energy I'm used to, I didn't think to ask if anything could be wrong. It's been a few weeks of this now, assuming things are going well, listening to her stories of school, until last week the little girl that usually sits by her on the bus chose to sit six seats back from my daughter. I asked her about it later that day, "Why didn't Liv sit with you?" "Oh, she and Rose don't like me anymore. I don't know why. They just don't talk to me now." Apparently this had been going on for a little while. I asked her more about... Read more

Turkey, like all poultry, often carries salmonella, a common type of bacteria that can cause food-borne illness.
Under ideal conditions, bacteria can double every 10 to 20 minutes. That means one cell can increase to more than 16 million cells in eight hours.
Therefore Utah State University Extension family and consumer sciences agent Darlene Christensen cautions Carbon County residents that perishable foods like poultry should never remain at room temperature for more than two hours.
To safely prepare turkeys, Christensen recommends that local residents consider several tips. The suggestions include:
â¢Turkeys can be safely thawed in the refrigerator at or lower than 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
People should allow 24 hours for every five pounds of whole turkey, Using the method, fully thawed turkeys can remain in the refrigerator for one to two additional days.
After thawing, local residents should remove the neck and giblets from the body cavities, then wash the turkey with cold water, inside and out, and drain well.
â¢Turkeys may also be defrosted in cold water in airtight packaging or in a leak-proof bag.
The turkey and parts should be submerged in cold water.
The water should be changed every 30 minutes to make sure it remains cold.
â¢It may be possible to thaw small turkeys in the microwave. Local residents should check the manufacturer's instructions for the size of turkey that will fit in the microwave, the minutes per pound and the power level to use for thawing.
People should remove the giblets, rinse the turkey and roast it immediately after thawing.
â¢It is never safe to thaw turkeys or meat on the counter, stressed the USU family and consumer sciences agent. The practice is putting the meat in what food safety experts call the danger zone - 40 to 140 F, which is where bacteria multiply rapidly.
â¢To roast a turkey, the oven temperature should be set no lower than 325 F.
It is not safe to cook a turkey for a lengthy time, such as overnight, at a very low temperature, pointed out Christensen. This encourages bacterial growth.
To check whether the turkey is fully cooked, a meat thermometer should be inserted into the thigh. Meat thermometers are available at reasonable prices in most supermarkets and variety stores.
To be safe, the thigh meat should reach 165 F. If the bird is stuffed, the stuffing should also reach 165 F.
â¢Turkey, stuffing and all perishable leftovers should be promptly refrigerated in shallow containers.
A habit of many families is to leave turkey and other perishable food items out for people to "graze on," explained Christensen.
But the practice is not safe, advised the USU Extension agent. All perishable items should be placed in the refrigerator.
For more information, residents may contact the local USU Extension office or call the United States Department of Agriculture's meat and poultry hotline toll-free at 888-674-6854.

MBDA Honors the Life and Legacy of Abraham S. Venable (1930-2013)
Created on March 8, 2013
In 1970 Abraham S. Venable was appointed by President Richard Nixon to serve as the Minority Business Development Agency's first African American Director. Under his leadership, President Nixon signed Executive Order 11625 to develop and coordinate a national program for minority enterprise that has now been in existence for over 40 years. After leaving MBDA, Mr. Venable remained dedicated to championing minority-owned firms and spent nearly 20 years working with General Motors Co., to increase its business relationships with minority-owned dealerships, suppliers, insurers and banks. Mr. Venable's efforts helped to spur the dramatic growth of opportunities for minority-owned businesses in both the public and private sectors in recent decades.
In recognition of Mr. Venable's estimable record of minority business advocacy, MBDA named a National Minority Enterprise Development (MED) Week award in his honor, the "Abe Venable Award for Lifetime Achievement," to acknowledge individuals who have played an integral role in the creative, technical or professional progress of the minority business community. Recent honorees have included Rush Communications LLC Founder Russell Simmons and U.S. Representative Silvestre Reyes. Through this award, MBDA is ensuring that Mr. Venable's legacy of fostering economic opportunities for minority entrepreneurs will endure.

A major with the Baltimore Police Department will be attending a United Nations "Police Commanders Course" (UNPCC) in Sweden next week that is raising eyebrows among Americans — especially considering the UN's history and highly controversial agenda. The three-week course is aimed at teaching officers from around the world about "peacekeeping" operations, interpretation of UN "mandates," how to work effectively with international military forces, and more, according to the official program outline.
The UN training course, which starts on Monday and runs until April 26, is being handled in partnership with the Swedish National Bureau of Investigation and the Armed Forces International Center. According to a Swedish police website outlining the scheme, trainees will be focusing on, among other components, the alleged importance of considering the UN Security Council resolutions. Participants will be learning about "intercultural leadership," too, using many of the same training programs offered to so-called "UN military officers."
Also on the agenda is learning to consider what the international organization describes as "human rights" — a UN concept of rights bestowed by government, which is diametrically opposed to American traditions of unalienable rights endowed by God and guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Another primary focus, the course outline explains, will be "concepts of gender mainstreaming." The UN has formally stated that the ultimate goal of "gender mainstreaming" is "to achieve gender equality."
Other primary elements of the UN commander training include "the tasks, the role and the responsibilities of a leader in an integrated peacekeeping operation" and understanding "concepts and approaches relevant to democratic policing." How decisions can affect a country occupied by UN "peacekeepers" while empowering others to "translate vision into results" are cited as key focuses of the program as well.
By the end of the course, participants are expected to present a "personal leadership manifesto" on how they can use their "competencies as a leader" in what the outline describes as "an integrated peacekeeping operation."

Like most little girls in America, we were raised on a steady diet of Berenstain Bears books, Big Bird, and Barbie. Of this trio of childhood favorites, the buxom blonde was certainly the most influential and inspirational. Of course we were impressed by her crazy career (Astronaut! Doctor! Artist!), reality-defying flexibility, and enviable lifestyle, but what really hooked us was something simple: her pretty pink lipstick. Whether it was a pale carnation hue or hot magenta, Barbara Millicent Roberts always worked some wonderful shade to great effect. It seems that Barbie's lipstick preferences still have a strong presence, as we've noticed that many modern beauties like Drew Barrymore, Chloe Sevigny, and Taylor Momsen are reaching for similar shades. Apparently, the must-try makeup mantra this spring is: think pink!
As you might have noticed, pink lips are popping up on red carpets galore these days. Sometimes the look is pseudo-pastel; we love these slightly chalky, semi-retro shades. Chloe Sevigny wore this super pale pink to a Kiehl's party in honor of the Doe Fund earlier this month. She slicked on Yves Saint Laurent's Pure Lipstick ($30) in 22 Pink Celebration and a few coats of mascara for a fresh-faced early-sixties beauty look. Drew Barrymore also has turned up in a similar shade at the He's Just Not That Into premiere earlier this year. Combined with her winged black eyeliner and perky ponytail, the light lip is sweetly sophisticated.
Of course, if you'd prefer more of a statement lip or think this bubble-gum hue won't work with your skin, you can just slide down the pink-pigment scale to a more saturated color. Anja Rubik chose a medium pink for an amfAR Gala during New York Fashion Week. Unfortunately for web shoppers and Americans, Rubik's product of choice was the Lip Duo by Inglot, a European brand that's not sold online. We recommend Shiseido's Perfect Rouge Lipstick ($25) in PK307 Tourmaline for a similar effect.
The boldest way to wear Barbie Lips is to opt for a product that falls under the fuchsia or shocking pink umbrella. Taylor Momsen and Camilla Belle both reached for these strong shades recently. Belle chose Versace's Sensual Glam Full Volume Lipstick ($21) for a "Diamonds in Africa" event at the Chateau Marmont (try Benefit Cosmetics' Lipstick ($18) in My Treat), while Momsen elected to wear a combo of NARS Lipstick ($24) in Schiap and Lip Lacquer ($24) in Hot Wired for the private dinner for Topshop's Flagship opening. Momsen's lip look is one of our favorites: it riffs on her ballet-pink skirt and adds vibrancy to her overall look.
In addition to the shades our spotlighted ladies wear, we found a few more hues for you. As we've mentioned before, we simply adore Revlon's new Matte Lipstick ($7), particularly in Pink Pout, shown above. It's a serious lipstick-matte, but creamy-definitely perfect for the lighter look. If you're interested in a brighter look, try Guerlain's Rouge G de Guerlain Jewel Lipstick ($45) in Gaela or Giulette. The lipstick's a bit of a splurge, sure, but they're both great shades and the packaging is marvelous (the cap transforms into a pretty little mirror). Barbie would totally approve!

The theme was The Wizard of Oz, where the children were greeted at the door by their Family Advocates. Parents and students were then directed toward the yellow brick road. The children then got to see their class room and meet all of the other students. The teachers represented the "scarecrow" - the brain of the class. The children were able to create their own scarecrow making them feel at ease in their classroom. The cooks represented the "tin man" - healthy heart - and the children and parents were served a healthy snack. The bus drivers represented the lion - the courage to ride the bus. The children were able to actually get onto the bus to relieve any fear they may have had. School began Sept. 27 and all children were excited to return for their first day. Price RUCD Head Start also held their open house on Sept. 26, where their theme was "Paradise". They reported a good turnout and expect to have another enjoyable year. Parents interested in enrolling their children, ages 3-5, at Head Start should call (435) 637-4960 for more information, or stop by either center and pick up an application.

CLEVELAND --Whether you're traveling for the Christmas holiday or simply around town this weekend, snow is something that will likely have an impact on your plans.
Portions of the Midwest have already been hit hard by the winter storm. As a result, flights coming in and out of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport have been delayed and/or cancelled until further notice.
Your best bet is to start planning from the moment you wake up. And it just so happensthere's an app for that.

Fender Pawn Shop is the name of a new line of guitars, basses and amps that embody the groovy pop-art sensibilities of the type of vintage axes and gear you might find hanging around in an out-of-the-way pawn shop or resale store, like the some of the slightly quirky and unique designs from makers like Mosrite, Goya, the Japanese Teisco company, or tasty Italian treats from Eko; but with full-on Fender quality, tone and playability. Fender calls them the "guitars that never were but should have been," but now they do indeed exist, with funky takes on Fender classics like the Telecaster, Stratocaster and short-scale Mustang; a few more guitars and basses with eccentric designs that are reminiscent of some earlier Fender models; and two totally cool boutique-style low-wattage tabletop amps that look a bit like vintage radios, but kick out some serious tube tone. Start with the Pawn Shop Fender '51, which looks like a Tele-Strat hybrid and sounds like a beast, with a Strat-style body, Tele neck, and Tele-style dual-knob chrome control plate, which is loaded a with three-position rotary pickup selector knob in place of the more familiar blade switch; and a master volume with push-pull coil split to get single-coil or humbucking tones from the Fender Enforcer pickup at the bridge. Between that and the Texas Special single-coil in the neck position and the '70s-style hardtail bridge, you've got a versatile axe that screams cool before you even plug it in! The Pawn Shop Fender '72 takes its inspiration from the legendary semi-hollow '72 Tele Custom, but with a sweet semi-hollow Strat-type body, dual humbuckers (a vintage-style Wide Range at the neck and a beefy Enforcer at the bridge), and a center-detent pickup blend knob in place of the blade switch. The Pawn Shop Offset Special is another semi-hollow f-holed beauty, with offset waist, dual JZHB humbuckers, and vintage-style floating tremolo whammy system. The '70s Stratocaster Deluxe combines an Enforcer humbucker at the bridge with a Tele single-coil and Jazz Bass-style control layout; while the Mustang Special, based on the 24' short-scale classic with a modified offset body, offers an incredible array of tones via the pickup toggle switch and a super-cool three-way coil selector slider for each of the twin humbuckers, resulting in 15 different sonic options! The Pawn Shop Jaguarillo is like a Fender Jaguar on steroids, with an angled three-pickup HSS configuration (humbucker/single/single), streamlined control layout, and vintage-style floating trem. Then there's the Pawn Shop Super-Sonic, based on the late-'90s Squier Super-Sonic, with a reverse-style body that looks like an inverted Jazzmaster, a 24" scale length, dual back-slanted Atomic humbuckers, and vintage-style synchronized tremolo. Pawn Shop basses include the humbucking short-scale (30") Mustang Bass with retro racing stripe; the Reverse Jaguar Bass, with reverse body, headstock and massive dual humbuckers; and the short-scale baritone HSS Pawn Shop Bass VI, with a meaty humbucker, dual screaming single-coils, and floating tremolo for deep down whammy action. Plug 'em into the Pawn Shop amps, either the Greta, a two-watt dual-tube beauty with 4" speaker and VU meter, or the Excelsior, a 13-watt powerhouse with 15" speaker. These Fender Pawn Shop specials are destined to be retro-cool classics - check them out today!

Brady Murray completing the Ironman competition in St. George, Utah.
Brady Murray, '05, Accounting, President of MassMutual Intermountain West, was selected for this year's Forty Under 40 in Utah Business magazine. Murray showed a penchant for success early as a star athlete at Preston High School.
Murray joined MassMutual in 2013, and has focused on attracting top talent and to ultimately help the company become the largest financial services firm in the West. Under his leadership, the company has exceeded its recruiting expectations by 104 percent during 2013.
Beyond his work at MassMutual, Murray founded Racing for Orphans with Down Syndrome (RODS Racing) to help orphaned children with Down syndrome unite with loving families. The same drive that led to his recognition by Utah Business magazine also contributed to RODS Racing being the featured non-profit at the 2012 Ironman Triathlon Championship in Kona, Hawaii. Murray not only competed in the event himself, but his drive and passion for his cause ensured that RODS Racing was the featured non-profit at the prestigious event.
Murray also serves on the Huntsman School of Business National Advisory Board and on the boards of Wasatch Social Ventures and Reece's Rainbow.

About Last Night: Santana lacked command, says he's fine
Johan Santana allowed six runs, four earned, on four hits in 1 1/3 innings last night. It was the shortest start of his career.
He faced 11 batters, threw 55 pitches, 35 of which were strikes.
"I felt fine," Santana told reporters after the game. "It was just a rough one."
"Obviously, he didn't hit any of his spots, he fell behind the count, and that's not him," Terry Collins said about Santana after the game. "It was just one of those nights. Probably something he has never experienced before. … I wasn't going to let him stay out there and throw and throw and throw. I thought he threw enough pitches for the game, so that's why I got him out."
According to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, prior to last night's game, Collins said Santana will begin working every fifth day after next Monday's start against the Giants.
Collins had once suggested he might use a spot starter against the Rockies on April 28, but Rubin says Collins will only do so now if Santana does not feel strong enough for that start.
Santana is now 0-2 with a 3.97 ERA in 11 1/3 innings over three starts this season.
1) His tempo was dreadful. He worked very slowly and looked uncomfortable as he prepared to throw. He seemed out of sync with Josh Thole and there appeared to be a tense discussion in the dugout between the two after Santana came out of the game;
2) He had no command at all and was wild inside the strike zone when he managed to throw a strike;
3) His fastball and change-up were flat and up in the zone, so he couldn't put hitters away.
This is going to happen from time to time, as Santana continues to work his way back from shoulder surgery. I'm concerned that his command hasn't improved very much since the start of Spring Training. Hopefully, his athleticism and intelligence will help him limit these kind of ineffective outings as he continues to build.

Instead, Willamette Week's Best New Band issue aims its spotlight through a reasonably democratic process. Every year, we poll hundreds of local music-scene insiders—club owners, bookers, journalists, label heads, publicists and past winners—about their five favorite new local acts. The word "new" is subjective and the word "band" can mean any music-making entity. This year, the 204 voters provided us with a list of 420 different Portland bands. We totaled the votes, and this is the result.
We want to make all of this clear not just because the process behind the Best New Band issue is often misunderstood, but because it's truly startling that 45 of those 204 voters—from vastly different scenes and cliques within the Portland music community—agreed on Radiation City.
This nod of approval won't get anyone a record deal or land them on an arena tour, but it does serve as proof that their art is having an impact. That said, we don't see this issue as activism. Sometimes it is a predictor of great careers to come. But, more than that, it's a snapshot of the most exciting new acts in Portland's music scene right now.
If there's one thing we hope this issue does—especially this year's list, which is arguably the most diverse group of bands we've ever featured—it's getting you out to a local show. Because, as excited as we are about these 10 acts, the poll is evidence there are at least 410 more (OK, 409 if you take Blazers head coach Kaleb Canales off the list) bands playing around this city. Our music scene is thriving, vibrant and worth discovering for yourself.
We hope you're game. Especially since the Summerland Tour is skipping Portland for Duluth and Tulsa.

Gun thefts in the state police Troop B region rose by about a third last year, but where theyre being stolen from has shifted.
State police said last month that 141 guns were reported stolen in 2012, compared with 104 in 2011, in St. Lawrence, Franklin, Clinton, Essex and northern Hamilton counties.
Senior Investigator Christopher J. Keniston of the state police gun investigation unit said that only 25 of those reported stolen in 2011 were recovered and that he believes that percentage will hold steady for 2012.
Thefts dropped from 44 to 32 in St. Lawrence County, from 26 to 13 in Franklin County and from 11 to five in northern Hamilton County. They rose in Clinton County, from 13 to 66, and Essex County, from 10 to 25.
We dont know any reason why numbers have gone up in some counties and down in others, Investigator Daniel Howard said, but he noted the numbers rise and fall in cycles. He said he is unsure whether there is a link between the 400 percent rise in reported gun thefts and the roughly half-dozen meth lab busts that took place in Clinton County in 2012.
Mr. Keniston said a common hurdle police encounter when tracking stolen guns is many owners dont keep accurate records, especially in the case of long guns that dont require registration. A state police news release said 73 percent of long guns reported stolen in 2012 did not include an accurate description and serial number.
It makes our job extremely difficult, Mr. Keniston said.
He suggested that gun owners keep track of their firearms, including writing down the manufacturer, model, serial number and gauge or caliber. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives offers documents for owners to maintain such data for their own records. It can be printed out from http://188.8.131.52/publications/download/p/atf-p-3312-8.pdf.
Gun owners also can take steps to thwart thieves, including keeping their guns locked up, Mr. Keniston said. Some law enforcement agencies will provide trigger locks.
Mr. Keniston also said gun owners should not post pictures of themselves with their arsenal, especially on sites such as Facebook. Dont advertise a significant gun collection, he said. The pictures go up and, lo and behold, two months later (the guns) are stolen.

Criticism, including by President Barack Obama, has been directed at the Republican House's decision to adjourn without passing a Superstorm Sandy aid bill. According to early estimates, Superstorm Sandy inflicted at least $50 to $60 billion in damage across the Northeast, making it one of the most destructive storms ever.

dan72 wrote:Great article, only thing that was not mentioned was the expense to extend Manny. Before the injury fans were already clamouring for an extension for the young 3B. So are we in wait and see mode now due to the injury? Honestly I would place a higher priority on extending Manny versus extending Davis and Wieters. Manny is becoming the face of the franchise and I have no doubt his star will soon out shine Jones' s.
If I could play GM, I would rather spend the money on young stating pitching. The move I would make would be to keep Davis and trade Wieters. I doubt that will happen, Buck holds defense in such high regard.

Old Sneakers wrote:As for Davis, I am somewhat conflicted. He did everything and more last season. No one predicted he would be as good as he was at 1B. That to me is the guy you keep. It's a position the team struggled to find a solution to annually.

Old Sneakers wrote:
How many games? I don't know.
What I do know is that .225/.290/.350 batting line isn't good enough.
My point was last spring everyone was talking about how good Schoop was going to be. "Many people who are scouts think a lot of him" without ever quoting a named source. It was all hype.
He didn't have more than an average year last year and now he's looking ordinary at best. God willing he starts off on fire next spring and presses the issue himself.
TuckerBlair89 wrote:I wouldn't necessarily say it was hype. He really does have the raw tools and natural ability to become a star. Scouts are split on him though, at least from the ones I talked to last year. It is important to note that he has been pushed harder than anyone in this entire system and been the youngest person on almost every team he has played with. Now, the plate discipline must improve for him to take the next level; and it has not yet. But there isn't anyone in the entire system with plus power and plus bat speed like Schoop.

Tucker do you see Schoop having the range/arm long term to stick at 2B or will he have to change positions?

Several area land trusts will receive substantial new funding through grants announced Thursday by the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
The Indian River Lakes Conservancy, Redwood, was the largest local funding recipient, pulling in $39,250 to help develop a handicapped-accessible trail on Boyd Pond and progress toward accreditation in 2015.
This is incredible for us, said Elliott D. Hillback Jr., the conservancys president.
Mr. Hillback said the money would help develop the 24-acre pond area, which the group obtained last year in a 54-acre land purchase. He said the group had received three bids from architects and engineers to complete the work, and would make a decision soon on how to proceed.
Mark A. Scarlett, a board member who wrote the groups grant applications, said the plan for the pond would be a trail leading to an overlook area and another trail on the waterfront leading to a launch area. Mr. Hillback said the accreditation funding would help the all-volunteer organization mature in its efforts.
Tug Hill Tomorrow Land Trust, Watertown, received $28,000 to support a stewardship plan for the Joseph A. Blake Jr. Wildlife Sanctuary, Rutland.
Its pretty incredible. ... We dont have a lot of funding for the kind of work we do, said Linda M. Garrett, the land trusts executive director. To have this program is pretty instrumental.
One goal for the space, she said, is to create a parking lot that would help to make the area more accessible to school and community groups.
A lot of people dont even know we exist, so were trying to raise our profile around the area, Mrs. Garrett said.
The group will have a work party from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at the sanctuary.
Thousand Islands Land Trust, Clayton, received $13,000 to fund surveying and management costs for the Chippewa Bay Conservation Project in the town of Hammond.
To be quite honest, it allows TILT to basically make the project successful, said Jake R. Tibbles, the trusts executive director.
He said the funding available was a sign of the support conservation work had from the federal government.
The Ontario Bays Initiative, Chaumont, received $2,000 to help its accreditation efforts.
As part of the new funding, each of the groups will contribute funds equaling 25 percent of the state money they received.
Overall, the state awarded $1,417,500 in Conservation Partnership Program grants to 57 nonprofit land trusts. The grant money, offered through the state Environmental Protection Fund, will be matched by $1.3 million in private and local funding.
These grants will go a long way in the conservation of private lands and will result in significant environmental and economic benefits for communities throughout New York, DEC Commissioner Joe Martens said in an email. By increasing open space funding by $2.5 million in this years budget, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo has placed a priority on preserving and conserving New Yorks natural resources. This dedicated source of funding will continue to cover critical environmental and land conservation programs.
DECs statement Thursday said that since 2002, the Conservation Partnership Program has awarded more than $8 million in grants for 509 projects benefiting 83 different land trusts across the state.

While we have had a lot of close wins, we have had a bunch of very bad losses that drags down your average. I think it's all pretty simple when you do the math

Oriole85 wrote:I don't feel like the Orioles a complete fluke. I think they've won more games then they should. I've learned not to count this team out. On Sunday while I was out so I wasn't watching the game and they fell behind 5-0, I tweeted to Adam half-sarcastically were the "late innings team." Little did I know the comeback was actually going to begin a lot sooner. A dominant 'pen explains the one-run wins. The late-inning wins can be explained by that and situational hitting. Take the game against Tigers, where they rallied a bunch of times. I'd also add it seems like a different player steps up a lot -- Taylor Teagarden has twice provided late inning heroics, Nate McLouth was big impact behind the win on Tuesday. Look I realize these are small sample sizes, but this team finds a way to get it done (not to sound too cliche).
It's not always the most talent that wins these games. If that were the case, the O's would be way down the list, a team like Boston would be much higher.

Seared Tuna with Green Beans, Lemon and Wasabi
- 4 sushi-grade tuna steaks (3 ounces each)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 12 ounces haricots verts or slim green beans, trimmed
- Juice and grated zest of 1 lemon
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons wasabi paste
- 4 scallions (white and green parts), sliced thin on the diagonal
- 3 tablespoons black sesame seeds
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat.
Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper to taste, and spray them lightly with cooking spray. When the grill is hot, add the tuna and cook for 1 1/2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the tuna to a platter and allow it to rest, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the haricots verts in the boiling water until they are just tender, about 3 minutes; drain.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and zest, garlic, and wasabi paste. Add the haricots verts, scallions, and sesame seeds. Toss to coat, adding salt and pepper to taste.
Thinly slice the tuna. Fan each portion onto each of 4 plates. Pile a mound of dressed haricots verts on top of the tuna, and serve.

KENTWOOD, Mich. (WZZM) - The home where David and Vivian Bouwman were murdered turned from a crime scene to a place where people sought tranquility Friday night, as news spread of Javonte Higgins' arrest.
WZZM 13 arrived in the Princeton Estates neighborhood just as people were getting home from work, and those we spoke with say there's a lot of joy. At one house, neighbors had already gathered to celebrate, and in front of the Bouwman's home, a group of friends stopped to praise God for Higgins' capture.
"Hearing that brought tears to my eyes as it does now," said Tara Gray of Wyoming.
"One of the neighbors told us he was caught today at 3 p.m. which is when we started our prayer walk, so it's really cool to hear that God's working," said Gray.
Gray and her friends did not know David and Vivian Bouwman, but they feel their prayers were answered.
"I prayed for conviction," said Michelle Eddy, who lives near the couple's house.
Gray, Eddy, and two other friends spent Friday going to different neighborhoods affected by the recent violence around Grand Rapids.
"I'm so thankful people can sleep at night and just have that protection and not be fearful anymore," said Gray.
"We're so excited," said Soni Konyndyk.
Konyndyk lives just down the street from the Bouwmans' house, and was one of many we found smiling Friday evening. She gives many thanks to Kentwood Police.
"I think the community will just feel a little safer now," said Kentwood Police Chief Tom Hillen at a press conference Friday evening.
"I can't say enough about everything they've done, and how quickly they worked, and how hard they worked, and how much they've protected our streets," said Konyndyk.
Michelle Eddy hopes her next prayer will be answered, this one for Higgins.
"To hear this is so good but my prayer is that he would come to know the Lord through this, that this wouldn't just end with a sentencing," said Eddy.
No matter what everyone in this community is feeling, they say they are sharing a sense of relief.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
For a split second after the choir intones "...requiem aeternam" at the end of Saturday's concert, there will be a moment of silence between the fading of the last tone and the onset of the applause.
The interval will be just long enough to realize that these are the last notes under the concert baton of Russell Wilson at USU Eastern.
Wilson is retiring, closing out a 29-year career teaching, 26 years of which have been at the Price campus.
For his grand finale, he has chosen two works by English composer John Rutter: "Gloria" and "Requiem."
Both are contemporary pieces, with "Requiem" completed in 1985. Both will also feature performances of musicians who have known Wilson as conductor and instructor for years.
The path that led to nearly three decades of sharing a love of music began with a life-changing decision. He walked away from a potential career in law, abandoning the degree he had earned at Arizona State.
He decided he wanted a life in music instead. And that decision he traces back to his high school days at Carbon High.
"We had two full symphonic bands back then," he recalls. "Dorothy Brown, Darrell Siggard, Glen Fifield - they were all circuit riders, going from school to school teaching music."
Wilson got his advanced music training at Utah State in Logan and was lucky enough to get a job there.
That position lasted for three years, until the job opened up at the College of Eastern Utah. He took it.
"A lot of my friends didn't understand why I wanted to go to Price. But this was homecoming for me. This is where I became a musician," he says.
Almost like a relay race, there was a transfer of the baton. Wilson picked up the conducting of Handel's "Messiah" from Dorothy Brown, who had conducted choirs for decades.
The tradition of blending community singers with college students continued. Over the course of the decades, the orchestra grew.
Violists and cellists augmented the violin sections, brass and woodwinds added their sounds.
Wilson had a recruiting philosophy about taking part in the performances: "Just play the parts you can, and sit out the parts that you can't handle right now."
[Full disclosure: That's how he persuaded me to come aboard 16 years ago.]
As a conductor of an unpaid, volunteer choir and orchestra, Wilson makes sure that those who show up know they are appreciated.
"With all the things they could do with their time," he says of the players and singers, "they work hard to make something beautiful that lasts a few minutes. It keeps my faith in humanity."
Wilson and his wife, Cathy, a teacher in her own right with Carbon School District and the college, are bound for southern California.
He says he has a few gigs lined up there already.
