Q&A: with Keith Hernandez about David Wright
Matthew Cerrone: I often hear you and Ralph Kiner talking during broadcasts about a particular hitter's stance, or you'll both agree or disagree about what he should instead be doing. I would assume a hitting coach is seeing those same things and pointing them to the player, mechanically, right?
Keith Hernandez: Ralph stood on top the plate, so he believes everyone should be on top of the plate. But, not every hitter is capable or comfortable doing that. Every hitter is different. So, I know what we say in the booth, but every hitter is different and some guys don't like doing certain things and you can't force them to do that. Now, if you continue to be unable to cover the outside corner – like a couple of our hitters – well, you better move up, you better get closer to the plate.
Matthew Cerrone: The guy I think of is David Wright. It's frustrating for us, because I still think of him as that very selective, two-strike hitter, the guy going the other way, like when he entered the league, slapping doubles, but he's striking out so much more lately. He's still producing, no question, but it's just odd to me that he's striking out more as he enters his prime. However, my question is: Do you think he can be helped by hitting the disabled list, stepping away from the game for a bit and just watching and thinking and reflecting on where he's at? Can the DL be a good breather?
Keith Hernandez: Well, certainly, but you don't know how it will translate for him. I don't have a crystal ball. David has gotten in to some very bad habits over the last four years. Yes, I think this back injury has affected him, but he's had a lot of years prior to the back injury where he's had a lot more swing and misses. He got 'home run happy,' and with that bigger ballpark you get fly-outs on your scorecard – and there's the lack of making adjustments. He's gotten in to bad habits and it's hard to break them. He now has an upper-cut swing. Sure, when he connects and hits it perfect it's going to go out – and maybe it won't in Citi Field. But, there is such a big margin of error now in his swing that he doesn't catch up with fastball and he hits fly balls. He's got to do something to break that habit. He goes the other way. Actually, I think he hits the other way too much. Now, he seems fixated on it. He needs to learn to look in and pull the ball once in a while.

Hey, what is with the 'stupid yanks' remark?
Tuffguy,Try this web site.http://www.deloggio.com/homepage/faq/admproc/trends.htmHope this helps...
How bad is the absolute worst, granted before I studied at all for the LSAT I presmed I had the absolute worst LSAT. Mine was a 124. (After study this number became more of a fluke and unrepresentative of my LSAT mastery ability, but since I hadn't studied and I was about 3 years early because I too have always aspired to be lawyer, I winged it and bombed).

MASSENA Members of a veterans advocacy group will meet Tuesday with Massena Memorial Hospital administrators to share some concerns, including staffing levels at the North Country Veterans Clinic.
Theyre also inviting other veterans to take part in the discussions, which will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the hospital, and share their concerns.
John B. Lambert, a member of the North Country Veterans Clinic Advisory Committee, said the group meets regularly, including Tuesdays session with Massena Memorial Hospital administrators. Other members of the group are Ronald A. Faucher, Mark S. Phillips and Tom Robinson.
We meet occasionally, probably about every 60 days. Its a regular meeting. There are some concerns. There are always concerns, Mr. Lambert said.
One of those concerns these days, Mr. Lambert said, is the closure of the Veterans Affairs primary clinic in Malone. It serves 699 veterans, who will have to travel to Massena, Saranac Lake or Plattsburgh to receive treatment.
That closure originally was scheduled for Aug. 31. But Mark P. Brouillette, Massena Memorials senior director for ancillary services, said Tuesday that he and Senior Director of Practice Management Zachary K. Chapman met last week with Richard Kazel, Syracuse Veterans Medical Center manager of medical/surgical careline, and were told the closing was delayed for six months.
The Malone clinic was given a six-month extension until 2014, which is kind of a good thing for us, Mr. Brouillette said.
The influx of new veterans would have come at a time when the North Country Veterans Clinic, which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary, is facing staff shortages that already limit its ability to handle the number of veterans who use the clinic, Mr. Lambert said.
The clinic sees more than 1,000 veterans each month, and more than 2,100 veterans are registered to receive their care at the North Country Veterans Clinic.
More than 13,000 veterans live within a 60-mile radius of the clinic in St. Lawrence and Franklin counties.
Its going to provide a challenge. The veterans clinic is going to be challenged to meet the needs of the area veterans and the influx of those veterans coming from the Malone clinic, Mr. Lambert said.
He said they may be looking at as many as 200 new veterans needing medical care at the Massena facility.
We have had concerns. We knew it was coming. Now, with the closing of the Malone clinic, the challenges are right on our doorstep, Mr. Lambert said.
But, with the delay, Mr. Brouillette said, that will give the hospital additional time to recruit and credential staff for the North Country Veterans Clinic.
Mr. Lambert said veterans also are concerned about claims processing at the VA headquarters level, something that is beyond the hospitals control but still a concern.
The Veterans Administration is extremely weak in their ability to process claims and meet the needs of veterans. Theyre showing that theyre getting farther and farther behind the eight ball every day. We like to keep the hospital administration up to date on what our veterans needs are and to keep an open line of communication of this is what weve done, Mr. Lambert said.

In Tennessee, you couldn't make Rogue's classic Dead Guy Ale without a distillers' license. In Kansas, no beer with more than 3.2 percent alcohol by volume can be sold in the grocery store, meaning an easy-sippin' barbecue beer like BridgePort Summer Squeeze comes from a shady liquor store with barred windows. In Alabama, home brewing is totally illegal, with an upstart brewer facing a felony for boiling the kinks out of his recipes. And across the country, distribution laws are tilted to protect Big Beer, which is why Apex doesn't pour anything from the acclaimed Three Floyds, and Cowboys fans in Portland can't sip Lone Star while they watch America's Team on Sunday.
Beer is liquid culture, and America's tapestry of wildly varied laws creates very different visions of what's popular or possible.
Trivial issues, you might say, especially with an important election looming. Why write about beer instead of something "important"?
A fair point. Except that beer birthed civilization. If, as many anthropologists believe, early human clans settled into cities to ferment grains, isn't the beer a culture produces a fair benchmark of its peoples' progress? Why even bother with civilization—entering a social contract, punching ballots and paying taxes—if we can't get better beer out of it?
Once every four years, America picks a leader through its only nationwide election. We thought the throes of that campaign would be a perfect time to also find out which state is making the best suds. So, months ago, WW started a project called the President of Beers, putting the flagship craft brew from each of the 50 states through a blind taste test.
In keeping with American tradition, our methods were slightly flawed and the decks stacked in favor of monied elites. We didn't necessarily choose the "best" beer from each state, but a candidate popular among its people which represents them well. We broke a lot of laws to get these bottles. Because its illegal to ship alcohol over many state lines, we had it bootlegged—stuffed inside teddy bears, disguised as tap handles, and labeled as live yeast samples. We called in favors and spent hundreds for a case of bottles stocked at grocery stores in their native land. Intern John Locanthi spent the better part of his summer staring at spreadsheets and calling unfamiliar area codes.
Six-hundred Dixie cups, four hours, three pizzas and 12 beer-soaked ballots later, we had the returns. And we were shocked.
How the Election Worked
The candidates:
Our goal was to get the "flagship" beer from all 50 states. Not the "best" beer, but a beer that best represents its state. Most candidates are the best-selling local brews in their homeland. Others are nationally known or symbolic. All were obtained during the same month from friends, breweries and retail stores and stored in a cool, dark place until election day.
The voters:
Our tasting panel was made up of Hilary Berg of Oregon Wine Press, John Chandler of Portland Monthly, Anne Marie DiStefano of the Portland Tribune, legendary beer writer Fred Eckhardt, beer blogger and event organizer Ezra Johnson-Greenough, brewery aficionado John Lovegrove, famed "Beer Goddess" and author Lisa Morrison, Sarah Pederson of popular beer bar Saraveza and WW's Martin Cizmar, John Locanthi, Ben Waterhouse and Brian Yaeger.
The vote:
All 50 beers were tested during a four-hour marathon at the WW office on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Each beer was presented in a 1-ounce sample poured into a Dixie cup. There were no style notes. Each beer was assigned a movie-title code name so it could be discussed without confusion (Sunset Boulevard was our winner; The Lord of the Rings was last place). Voters scored each beer on a scale of 1 to 100, and the final results were tabulated by averaging those scores.

By LES BOWENSun Advocate reporter
After more than seven decades, officials and residents of Sanpete County indicate that they are fed up with waiting for a proposed dam to be built on Gooseberry Creek.
However, Carbon County officials are joined by state and federal officials in opposing the dam.
Sanpete officials hosted a press conference on July 6 at the proposed site and expressed frustration with roadblocks that have delayed construction.
"We want to get this issue into the public eye. We think it's time the reservoir goes forward," said Edwin Sunderland, chairperson for the Sanpete County Water Conservancy District, during a phone interview Monday.
Carbon officials stated last week that the county will continue to oppose the dam.
"We're continuing to oppose that dam," confirmed Carbon County Commissioner Mike Milovich.
If built, the Gooseberry-Narrows dam would serve as a trans-basin water diversion system.
The plans call for the reservoir to be built near the headwaters of the Price River. A tunnel would divert water from the reservoir to Sanpete County's water system.
However, the construction would impact the amount of water available in Scofield Reservoir and the Price River.
The situation would, in turn, affect the Green and Colorado rivers.
As a result, parties downstream from the proposed reservoir have opposed its construction for years.
"I don't see that there has been clearly established a reasonable return for the investment. Until they can show a reasonable return for the investment, it's not a viable project," said Rep. Brad King, who represents portions of Carbon, Emery and Grand counties.
While the Utah representative opposes the dam, King said that he would support alternative water management and storage techniques, not only in Sanpete and Carbon counties, but throughout the rest of the state.
Sunderland explained that part of the reason for hosting the press conference was to encourage the United States Bureau of Reclamation to release an updated environmental impact statement on Sanpete's proposed project.
The most recent EIS, released in 1998, is currently out of date.
As a result, Sanpete officials have asked interested parties to write to BOR and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requesting that the EIS process moves forward.
At the July 6 press conference, Richard Noble of Frandsen Noble Engineering, project engineer for the past 15 years, attributed the delay in the EIS to a split congressional delegation.
Prior to the realignment, Carbon and Sanpete counties fell into one congressional district. Now, Congressman Jim Matheson represents the southeastern region of the state.
Matheson represents not only Carbon County, but much of the Colorado River drainage basin.
"Congressman Matheson has been opposed for a variety of reasons," said Alysin Heyrend, communications director for the U.S. representative. "He is concerned on water use, recreation and other aspects that would follow as a result of the dam."
Heyrend added that, after Matheson has worked with elected officials, sportsmen and businesses, the congressman favors other options to the dam that would deliver water without the impacts to Scofield Reservoir or Price River.
Heyrend said Matheson is willing to seek federal funding for an alternative to the proposed Gooseberry-Naroows dam.
However, the alternatives may not be acceptable to all parties involved.
"We have not been able to come up with an alternative," said Sunderland. He claimed that part of the need for the dam comes from the need to store water later into the year.
Sunderland said the needs of Sanpete County will not be met by diversion alone. Instead, diversion and storage will be required.
"It's our water and we've waited long enough," said Sunderland.
Sanpete claims the district has rights to 5,400 acre feet of water that it is not currently using, and officials in the county want to store that amount and release it later into the year. That would allow for an additional cutting of hay in north Sanpete County.
Sunderland explained that the only solutions that meet the demands are wells and the reservoir.
However, Sanpete's proposed water storage project continues to be met with opposition.
Carbon officials have pointed out that Sanpete already diverts water through a series of tunnels and canals from Price River and its tributaries.
The amount of the diversion is not known and may exceed the water to which Sanpete County is entitled.
As a result, Carbon officials have continued to question whether Sanpete County can justify additional diversion
"We don't think the dam is in the best interest of Carbon County or the state," pointed out Milovich.
Milovich said the commission considers the construction of the proposed reservoir to be damaging to Carbon County and will continue to oppose the Sanpete project.

The Gourmet Cookbook: More Than 1000 Recipes (Now with DVD)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
For the past six decades, Gourmet magazine has shaped the tastes of America, publishing the best work of the foremost names in the world of food. To create this landmark cookbook, editor in chief and celebrated authority Ruth Reichl and her staff sifted through more than 50,000 recipes. Many were developed exclusively for Gourmet's test kitchens. Others came from renowned food writers and chefs and from the magazine's far-flung readers. Then the editors embarked on an extraordinary series of cook-offs to find the most unforgettable dishes, testing and retesting each one to ensure impeccable results. This collection, the only one of its kind, spans a vast range of cultures and cuisines. With it, you can go back to the time when Beef Wellington ruled the table or prepare something as contemporary as Crispy Artichoke "Flowers" with Salsa Verde. And whether you're cooking a simple supper for two or throwing a cocktail party for fifty, you'll make every dish with more flavor and more flair using The Gourmet Cookbook. It includes:
"If you could dream up the perfect cookbook, it might look something like this: easy recipes for days when you're spent and just want something quick and filling; pull-out-all-the-stops recipes for when you want to spend an entire week working on Saturday night's meal; instructions for tasks like cleaning mussels and making pastry dough; introductions and mini-essays explaining recipes' origins and the techniques they involve; and an overall panache and intelligence. Gourmet magazine's editors have achieved such a feat with this sensational doorstopper of a cookbook, a sort of sophisticated cousin to the hallowed Joy of Cooking, and a savvy, cosmopolitan aunt to Mark Bittman's essential How to Cook Everything.Reichl, the magazine's editor-in-chief and the author of Comfort Me With Apples and other books, took on a monstrous task in creating the book, and the result is an assortment of recipes for practically everything you'd ever want to make. She and her colleagues — including Gourmet executive food editor Zanne Stewart and executive editor John Willoughby — ransacked 60 years' worth of back issues to come up with over 1,200 recipes (down from 50,000, says Reichl in her introduction) that encompass the best of American cuisine — and by American we mean everything that's cooked in America, from burgers to baklava. Recipes come from chefs, food authorities like Marcella Hazan and Madhur Jaffrey, and readers. Reichl and her team tested and retested every one of them.Experienced and novice home cooks will find recipes for memorable versions of dishes they've heard about but never attempted: concoctions like Coq au Vin, Beef Wellington, Coulibiac, Chop Suey, Bananas Foster, and Black Forest Cake. They'll also come across intriguing alternatives, like Herbed Lima Bean Hummus, Tandoori Shrimp and Mango Salad, Mortadella- and Truffle-Stuffed Pork Loin with Rosemary Roast Potatoes, and Dark Chocolate-Caramel Ice Cream Sandwiches. Even basics get their due, in fabulous treatments of Pizza Margherita, Greek Salad, Pasta with Tomato and Basil, and Sugar Cookies. Every chapter begins with an overview of its subject; each recipe has an introduction; and many dishes feature helpful 'cook's notes,' which give tips for food preparation, technique and storage. Despite the book's heft (it's about as big as a Manhattan phone book, with two bound-in ribbons), and even though it contains no photographs, readers may find themselves bringing it to bed with them at night. They'll lazily consider making Currant Tea Scones when they wake up the next morning, or read up on how to make perfect chocolate cigarettes — and if sugarplum fairies don't visit them in their dreams, perhaps Reichl and her posse of food angels will. 300 line drawings. 250,000 first printing. (On sale Sept. 28) Forecast: Houghton Mifflin is determined to make the book's release a publishing event, and rightly so. The house plans a $1,000,000 marketing campaign, national appearances by Reichl (kicking off with a September 28 Today Show appearance), national TV appearances by Stewart, a national radio drive-time tour with Willoughby, a 20-city author tour, and print ads in major newspapers and magazines. A video on the making of the cookbook will be available for use in bookstores." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
For beginners and seasoned cooks alike, The Gourmet Cookbook is an eloquent, essential companion in the kitchen — one that will take its place among the classic cookbooks of our generation. Under the discerning eye of the celebrated authority Ruth Reichl, the editors of America's premier cooking magazine sifted through more than 60,000 recipes published over the past six decades. Testing, tasting, and cross-testing to ensure that every cook achieves the same superb results, they selected more than 1,000 recipes.
The Gourmet Cookbook is encyclopedic but eminently accessible. With it, cooks can go back to the days when Beef Wellington ruled the table or prepare something as contemporary as Crispy Artichoke "Flowers" with Salsa Verde. Those in a hurry who want simple dinners with flavor and flair will find hundreds of possibilities, including Seared Salmon with Balsamic Glaze and Skirt Steak Fajitas with Lime and Black Pepper. At the same time, The Gourmet Cookbook is the perfect volume for entertaining, full of adventurous recipes for special occasions: Blini with Three Caviars, Fragrant Crispy Duck, and Tiramisu Ice Cream Cake.
Throughout the book you'll find hundreds of valuable tips from Gourmet's eight test kitchens. Illustrated instructions explain everything from how to cut up a chicken to how to shuck an oyster.
For beginners and seasoned cooks alike, "The Gourmet Cookbook" is an eloquent, essential companion in the kitchen--one that will take its place among the classic cookbooks of this generation.

By Paula WellsPrice
I recently heard that the recreation related classes at CEU will no longer be offered for credit. According to the information I have received, some of the courses will still be offered as workshops, but students will not be able to get college credit for those classes any longer. This saddens me deeply.
I began attending CEU in 1985. Over the years I have earned and received two associate degrees from the institution. I went on to Utah State and earned my Bachelors degree. I have continued to take courses at CEU throughout the years. Some of the courses have been for personal enrichment, but most of them have been for professional advancement. I am a teacher with an elementary education license as well as a secondary license in business and am currently working to gain an endorsement in art as well.
I have taken courses from several universities around the state as well as some out of state. I believe that CEU offers courses that are as well taught as any around. This includes the recreation classes. I am currently taking digital photography, which falls into this category. It is one of the best classes I have ever taken. It is well organized, and taught with the utmost professionalism. I will be using the credit from this class for my art endorsement. Not only will I use the knowledge I have gained from the class, but I will also use some of the techniques as I teach my students photography. As an educator, I feel that these courses are great for non-traditional students, such as me, regular students, straight out of high school, as well as community students who just want a class to learn something new.
These courses have been a part of CEU for many decades and have offered us local choices for earning college credit. One of my biggest fears about the CEU/USU merge was that we would lose our community college. Despite promises that the community feel would stay, this feels like the first step towards taking away community choices. It would be a shame for those of us who need credit classes to have to go to another school, when we have such a world class college in our community.
I understand that not all of the current instructors want to continue teaching the courses, but that is not the case for all instructors. Please find a way to continue offering credit for these classes for those of us who would like to take them and pay the additional tuition that goes along with them. I encourage the administration at CEU and USU to reconsider this decision. Please allow us to continue to take these classes for credit locally.

Pistorius battled to secure bail as he appeared on charges of murdering his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on February 14, Valentine's Day. South African prosecutors will argue that Pistorius is guilty of premeditated murder in Steenkamp's death, a charge which could carry a life sentence. Pistorius denies the charge, saying that he shot 29-year-old Steenkamp repeatedly through a locked bathroom door in the dead of night by accident, having mistaken her for a burglar.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate sports reporter
With the Carbon High Lady Dinos down by 16 on the road against Delta at halftime, they faced a tough road to get back in the game.
In the second half, they took a different path, forcing the game into overtime and ultimately walking away with a tough 45-37 victory on Tuesday night to stay undefeated in Region 12 play.
Carbon High head coach Ted Bianco said the team did not play well in the first half, converting on only three field goals in the first half, as they faced a 26-10 deficit at the half.
"We just didn't shoot the ball well at all in the first half," Bianco said in a phone interview on Wednesday.
The second half was a much different story. The Lady Dinos settled down, playing better defense and rebounding more efficiently.
The better play in the second half helped the Lady Dinos cut into Delta's lead, outscoring them 14-2, heading into the fourth quarter down by only four points.
Bianco said both teams traded baskets down to the wire. The Lady Dinos were called for an intentional foul late in the game but Delta was unable to capitalize on the free throws.
Carbon's Miranda Averett was able to tie the game on two free throws to send the game into overtime.
In overtime, the Lady Dinos began to put the game away as they clamped down on defense and made enough plays on offense to come away with the big road win.
"In overtime the girls stepped up and didn't want to go home with a loss," Bianco said. "They are very competitive and really hate losing games."
Despite facing an early deficit, Bianco said the team responded well to the challenge of playing Delta, who also entered the game with a 4-0 Region 12 record.
"We got punched in the face in the first half but we responded to the challenge. We made adjustments at halftime and the girls played much better overall in the second half to get the win with first place in region on the line," Bianco explained.
Averett led the Lady Dinos with 15 points. Lexi Gagon and Kelcy Otani each added nine points each.
A balanced attack on offense with different players stepping up in games has helped the Lady Dinos all season long, Bianco said.
"It's hard to defend all five players on the court at the same time especially when they can all make shots," he said.
The Lady Dinos (12-3, 5-0 Region 12) will take on Payson tonight at 7 p.m. at the CHS gymnasium.
While the team is still undefeated in Region 12 play, Bianco said they will be playing each team with the knowledge that everyone will be looking to knock them off.
"We need to keep doing things well, execute our plays and continue playing good defense. We can't overlook any of our opponents on any night" he said.

Going to be spending most of the summer in the Alaskan backcountry, so I need to have a tent worthy of that kind of abuse! Looking for something strong enough to withstand months of rain, snow, wind, etc, but also light enough for long-distance backpacking.

I have a Big Agnes fly creek UL 1. If interested
I have a Mountain hardware skyeview three, which is a great tent and nice size, but weighes about 8 or 9 pounds I would let go of for about $195 plus shipping I payed about $415 You can email for pictures firstname.lastname@example.com

Here's a link to the Shangri-La 3 page at Go-Lite's website:http://www.golite.com/Shangri-La-3-Tent-P46713.aspxHere's a review by BPL staff of the Hex 3, the former version of the Shangri-La: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/00112.html#.UXs-K0bn-UkMany other reviews can be found here at BPL's website -- enter "hex 3" in the search box at the upper right corner of BPL's web page (and might also try searching BPL's site for "Shangri-La 3" to locate reader reviews/discussions of that current version of the Hex 3).Plus, there are a lot of reviews (80 or so!) to be found at the "Shangri-La 3" page of GoLite's website linked above.As it appears from the GoLite website linked above, the Shangri-La 3 is currently on sale for $249.99 (reduced from $500), with free shipping for orders over $100.PS - if you're going to need space for more than 2 folks, the Shangri-La 5 is another option, at $50 more (plus a bit more weight at 5 3/4 lbs).

Good morning from sunny/cold Britain.
I came into recovery in way that i can only call GOD given.
I had been drinking for many years or should i say drunking for many years !
I am from London, England born to family with Mother, Father and three brothers. Sitting at the dinner table feeling like i should not be there, these people are not my family, they must have picked up the wrong child at the hospital when i was born. Feeling different was normal to me, i spent a lot of time on my own, i liked my own company.
Then came the day when i was to do something that would change my whole life forever, in so many ways. I took that first drink and boy it did everything i could not do for myself. I suddenly fitted in with people and situations that used to baffle me. I got drunk regularly, well that is the point of drinking isn't it !
I got in with a bunch of bikers and thought to myself -I HAD ARRIVED.
That was until one of the group of hairy tattood bikers said at 9pm
" Wow is that the time, i must get going , i want to put the kids to bed"
Another said,
" Got to go , work in the morning "
Slowly, slowly they began to leave and i was on my own again
That was how it was to be for a long time.
I managed to meet a lovely lady who i was to marry years later. When we first met i had to hold on to the wall to steady myself and close one eye because there were 3 of her floating around, in my blurred vision. How she ever had the thought That this was the man for her i will never comprehend, especially as she was from California , and her family rarely drank.
Heavy drinking continued for many years, then we got married and i was so drunk on wedding night that stubbed ciggarette ends into our newly fitted carpets and passed out on the floor of our living room.
I got promoted at work , and more and more i got the feeling that i was a phony and would get found out soon.
My son came along and i lost All control ( of what little i had left ) of my consumption of alcohol. Drinking in the morning just to cope, waking in wee small hours and opening cans of beer.
When my son was born i remember not feeling anything. The nurses handed me this tiny miracle of life, and i felt nothing. Emotionally bankrupt.
Trips to hospital , psychotic episodes were becoming the norm.
After totally demolishing my kitchen one day i finally asked for help. Icalled my mother in law and said that i was having a bad day could she help. She turned up saw the kitchen and told me to clean it up. 20 mins later found me standing in the kitchen staring out the window gripping handfuls of broken glass so tightly that blood was dripping down my legs on the floor.
My wife came home to find me trying to throw things through the TV set. She called the police and 12 police officers rushed into my house to find me sitting on the couch rocking backwards and forwards crying.
Denial kept them from knowing what the real problem was , but then i didn't know either.
A week later found me passed out in the garage and when asked by my wife, " Are you OK "?
I replied " I think i have a drinking problem "
Right then and there is when God stepped in showed me to a neighbours house. I knew this couple to say hello to but not much else. This lady worked at one of the local hopitals and my thinking was that she might know of some help i could get.
When we knocked on her door and told of my problem with alcohol she quickly said " Would you like to talk to my husband "?
" Why "? i said
" He is 11 years sober in Alcoholics Anonymous "
That man is now my sponsor and has been for the past 3 and a half years. He explained that i was suffering from an allergy to alcohol and an obsession of the mind.
That made sense to me , because that was the way i drank, when i started i had little control of how much i drank and i wasn't drinking i was thinking about drinking.
I went to meetings eveyday got service and eventually got grateful. I have not had to pick a drink from my first AA meeting. When my sponsor gave me a 24 hr token , i cried.
Slowly, slowly i have gone through the steps.
What i have now is peace of mind.
I am able to be a father, husband, Brother, son.
All things that i thought i would never get.
I love being sober.
When i drank that was all i could do, now it is the ONLY thing i can't do.
Not only do i have peace of mind my wife does too, and my son, well he isn't frightened of me any more. When i say i am going to be somewhere then that is where i am.
The first three steps were put to me so plainly:
I now live a life beyond my wildest dreams. When i first heard that i couldn't even think of the future let alone dreams. Then someone in the fellowship said to me'
" When you were in the black pit of despair and there was no way out , could you ever have imagined the life you are living today "?
The man who is my sponsor jumped in that black pit , held my hand and said " I have been before and i know the way "
I thank GOD for AA
And i thank AA for GOD.
Thank you and God bless you all !

Despite and perhaps in defiance of a march in Pakistan protesting the United States' drone war that is terrorizing that nation, news comes of a drone strike October 10 killing five people. Typically, no official word has been released revealing the target of the attack or the identities of the victims, but according to a story by Agence France-Presse (AFP) five "militants" were among the dead. "Several US drones flew into the area before dawn and fired four missiles on a compound, killing five militants," a security official told AFP after the strike in Hurmuz area, east of Miranshah, the capital of North Waziristan tribal region.
Long War Journal reports that "the remotely piloted Predators or the more advanced Reapers fired four missiles at a compound in an area that AFP describes as "a lawless region known as a stronghold of Taliban and al Qaeda militants."
This is the second drone attack in Pakistan in October. The first came on October 1.
In its story, AFP reports that "the attacks by unmanned US aircraft remain contentious, they are deeply unpopular in Pakistan, which says they violate its sovereignty and fan anti-US sentiment, but American officials are said to believe they are too important to give up."
Truly, the United States is unwavering in its commitment to the program of using remote control killing machines to kill those the White House or the CIA suspects of posing a potential threat to national security. No protest march and no appeal to the concept of sovereignty will dissuade the president from crossing names off his kill list. The near daily multiplying of victims of these assaults — whether militants or innocent mourners or a 15-year-old American — is not enough to derail the death-by-drone program that both President Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney promise to perpetuate after January.
There might be one way to influence U.S. policymakers to postpone the airborne assassinations, however.

David Richman is a long-time supporter of the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, and in the past six years he has raised more than $30,000 dollars for cancer research though an annual "For June in June" event organized around a physical test of endurance. In David's own words, he gives an overview of adventure he will undertake this year: "This is the 7th year of doing fundraisers for the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center. Each summer, I do an endurance event/fundraiser - "For June in June" - in honor of my sister June. She was treated and cared for by the great people at the JCCC, and to support their research and care programs, I attempt to raise awareness and donations that directly support the vital work they do. This year, I will be doing a long bike ride, in conjunction with launching my new book, Winning in the Middle of the Pack: Realizing True Success in Life and Business. In addition to direct donations, a portion of each book sold will be donated to the JCCF." The book Winning in the Middle of the Pack: Realizing True Success in Life and Business launches on June 25, 2014, on the same day that David will begin his bike ride from Manhattan Beach, CA to Las Vegas, via Joshua Tree National Park. In addition to direct contributions, from June 25-28 a portion of each book sold will be donated to the JCCF.

Last of the Summer Wine
The Coming of the Beast (#1182)
When Truly mischievously alerts Billy Ingleton that there is a tiger on the loose, he has no idea how far the story will spread, and what the repercussions will be. [29 minutes]

Series Description: When Last of the Summer Wine finally ceased production, it had up 32 series, numerous Christmas specials and a 1988 prequel, First of the Summer Wine, with the whole canon being written by just one man: Roy Clarke. Created as a submission for the BBC's Comedy Playhouse in 1973, before the year was up, a full series had hit our screens. A whimsical comedy with a penchant for light philosophy and full-on slapstick, that first run followed the misadventures of three elderly friends tramping around the Yorkshire countryside (the town of Holmfirth and its surroundings). The upper, middle and lowers classes writ large: they were Former Royal Signals Sergeant and notional gang leader Cyril Blamire; flat cap-wearing voice-of-reason Norman 'Cleggy' Clegg and scruffy hormone-riddled layabout Compo Simonite. In a world where men are just over-grown kids, the authority figures come in the shape of some of TV's most formidable women. There's the physically intimidating tea shop owner Ivy, but even she pales in comparison to Nora Batty. With her wrinkled stockings and hair curlers, she's both a bogeyman figure curtailing the trio's fun and became an unlikely lust object for Compo.

RANDOLPH–Lake Region ran in the Three Rivers Invitational on Saturday, where the girls team finished in 3rd place.
Leading the Rangers was Emily Close, who finished in 4th place with a pace of 7:06 per mile.
Haley Kennedy, who took some time off of the soccer pitch to get back in the cross country game, came in 10th with a pace of 7:43 per mile.
Emily Millar ran a 7:55 pace for 12th place and Elise Morissette completed the team effort.
Said Coach Greg Hennemuth, "Cody Dollof deserves much praise for his 5:58 mile start and pushing for his personal record, a 6:30 mile pace."
Cody's finished the race in 20:05.
Next up is the Lyndon Invitational on Tuesday.
Varsity action is slated to get underway at 4:00.
Lake Region 6, Winooski 0
WINOOSKI–Tyrah Urie scored two goals and Jordyn Cowles and Sidney Whipple combined for a four save shut-out as the Lady Rangers improved to 4-0 this season.
Drew Neal picked up her second goal of the season while Mikayla Royer, Megan Menard and Tori Adams all scored their first career varsity goal in the win.
"It was nice to get scoring from some other people," said coach Brad Urie.
Urie was also pleased with the efforts of his half-backs.
"Celeste Lussier, Caitlyn Bernier and Drew all did a good job of controlling the game back there," Urie said.
With three games this week, Urie believes that by Saturday afternoon he will have a good idea of where the team stands this season.
The busy week gets underway today when Lake Region travels to Danville for a 4:30 match.
North Country 1, Essex 1
ESSEX–The Falcons hit the road on Saturday to face one of the top programs in the Metro, and emerged from the game with a 1-1 tie.
Drew Stone had the lone goal for North Country, scoring early in the first half, while netminder Logan Fortier had 13 saves in the contest.
The boys return home this week and will face Burlington on Tuesday at 4:30.
North Country 0, Montpelier 0
MONTPELIER– The Falcons and the Solons played as long as the rules would allow, but neither team could find the back of the net in this battle of the goalies.
"It was a great game and a total team effort," said coach Chantelle Bouchard.
Danielle Gabucci held court in the North Country nets, and didn't allow an inch in the tie.
The Falcons will look to build on this great defensive performance when they travel to take on Rice in the second game of the season series on Tuesday.
Game time is 4:00.
Fair Have 43, North Country 0
FAIR HAVEN–Going into this season, the Falcons coaching staff knew that starting last Friday, the team would be facing some of its' biggest challenges of the year.
They were right as Fair Haven dropped 43 points on the Falcons en route to the shut-out win.
"The good part is that we are making progress with our offense, even though the score did not reflect that," said coach Tim Simoneau.
Connor Hogan got the start at QB as well as at safety, and he played the entire game, resting only during special team plays.
The sophomore is part of the rebuilding process, and as any coach knows, during these, as Theo Epstein put it, "bridge years" things can be tough.
"It is what it is, and we are building toward the future," said Simoneau.
Things do not get any easier as Rice comes to town this Friday for a 7:00 contest at Veteran's Field.

NEWS: Ryan Callahan Fractured His Ankle, Out "Long Term"
Update: 1:56PM:
James Murphy tweets that, "Zdeno Chara was really upset that his shot broke a bone in Ryan Callahan's leg. He had tremendous praise for Callahan's grit and passion."
Update: 1:49PM:
The Rangers have sent a press release about Callahan's injury. It is after the jump
John Tortorella says that Callahan's ankle is BROKEN and that he is out indefinitely. He called it a "long term injury" according to the team's twitter feed. Andrew Gross tweets that he won't need surgery.
Well it is now official, and it stinks.
Cally is the heart and soul of the Rangers and he can't be replaced in the Rangers lineup. The team has rallied around injuries before during the season and need to do it again. Like always, everyone needs to step up and replace what Cally brought to the team.
He got hurt by being a Ranger and blocking a shot. I would bet that he would go down and block that shot 100 times out of 100.
Apologies for the washed out quality of the video
New York, April 5, 2011 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that Ryan Callahan has suffered a fracture in his right leg, and will be sidelined indefinitely. Callahan suffered the injury in the third period of last night's 5-3 victory vs. the Boston Bruins at Madison Square Garden.
Callahan was examined by Dr. Andrew Feldman earlier today. He has registered career-highs in goals (23), assists (25), points (48), power play goals (10), and game-winning goals (five) while skating in 60 games this season. Callahan leads the team in power play goals and game-winning goals, ranks second in goals, points, and power play points (15), is tied for third in assists, and ranks second on the team and 12th in the NHL with 224 hits. Callahan missed 19 games from December 16 to January 25 with a broken hand suffered on December 15 at Pittsburgh. Since returning from injury on February 1, he leads the Rangers in scoring with 13 goals and 24 points in 27 games. The fifth-year veteran notched his first career hat trick and a career-high, five points (four goals, one assist) vs. Philadelphia on March 6, and recorded his 100th career NHL point with an assist at Boston on October 23.
Update: 1:28PM:
Gross tweets Marian Gaborik as saying,"all team can do now is try to make a long run in playoffs so Callahan can comeback at some point."
Update: 1:06PM:
The Rangers were 10-7-2 in the 19 games that Callahan missed earlier this season.
Update: 12:36PM:
McKenzie tweets that he doesn't know of a timeline for Callahan but that a break is better than a sprain. McKenzie explains why a break is better than a sprain HERE.
Bob McKenzie tweets that he is hearing that Ryan Callahan broke his ankle last night while blocking Zdeno Chara's shot.
Watch the video at the end of the post.
Update: 12:06PM:
Larry Brooks says that it doesn't sound good about Callahan.
The team's twitter feed says that it will have an update on Callahan soon.
Original Post:
There are multiple rumors suggesting that Ryan Callahan has broken or fractured his ankle blocking Zdeno Chara's shot last night.
The Rangers have off-ice work at 12PM and should provide an update on Callahan at that time.
I have been bombarded with tweets, emails and facebook messages about the rumors. I have heard them and while they may end up being true, I won't believe them until the team confirms it or someone like Darren Dreger or Bob McKenzie say it.
And if it is true, just like how he broke his hand earlier in the season, Cally injured himself by sacrificing his body for the team. That is the identity of the team and they wouldn't be where they are if they didn't play this way.

You must pursue a full course of study each quarter to maintain lawful status. A "full course of study" is 12 or more credits per quarter for undergraduates, and 10 or more credits per quarter for graduate students. Only one online class may count towards your minimum credit amount.
In your final quarter you may take as few credits as required to complete your degree as long as you register for at least one credit and receive authorization for a reduced course load from the Center for International Education in advance. An online class cannot be the only class on your final quarter schedule.
You may enroll part-time due to valid academic/medical reasons (if it meets requirements by immigration) during a quarter if you obtain a Reduced Course Load authorization from the Center for International Education. The RCL must be received and approved within the first 30-days of the quarter you wish to apply the RCL. You must discuss with an advisor to determine if you are eligible for the benefit.
Do not register for fewer than the required number of credits or withdraw from a course without first receiving permission from the Center for International Education.
You may take a vacation quarter and remain in the U.S. if you have completed three full-time consecutive quarters and are eligible and intend to register for the quarter following the vacation. We recommend that you take summer as your annual vacation due to limited course offerings. You cannot take vacation in your final quarter.
A student who arrives in the U.S. for the first time and begins their study at UW Bothell in winter or spring quarter may take their first summer as a vacation quarter. However, please confirm your eligability to do so with your international student advisor.
You must maintain "good" academic standing while a student in the United States. Meet your Professor, Program Advisor and/or CIE if you are having difficulty in your courses. It is better to receive a grade of "F" in a class than to drop the class and fall below full time status.
To cancel all your courses in the middle of a quarter, you must complete an Official Withdrawal form through the Registrars Office (Husky Hall Room 1130), and meet with CIE. Once your withdrawal is approved, you must depart the U.S. within 15 days to maintain status, except for authorized medical reduced course load.

ISLANDERS GIVE GRABNER A SHOTGrab talented right wing off waivers from Florida
FanHouse: my profile of Zenon Konopka
FH: Bettman praises Campbell's "consistent" rulings
12:40 pm: The Islanders have picked Michael Grabner off the waiver wire. The Austrian, who turns 23 today, was 5-6-11 with Vancouver last season and was moved to the Panthers in the Keith Ballard deal. The speedy 6-1 right wing is another worthwhile, low-risk acquisition by Garth Snow. If he doesn't work out in a few weeks, he goes back on waivers. If he does, they've got a top-9 forward. When Andy Hilbert clears waivers, he'll go to Bridgeport.

SACKETS HARBOR A club of Wild West gun enthusiasts will continue to be allowed to fire classic American firearms that hold 10 bullets, instead of seven, because antique guns are exempt from the recently approved NY SAFE Act, according to the office of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo.
The Sackets Harbor Vigilantes a 30-member club that hosts Western-style shootouts from April through October originally mulled canceling two public shootouts planned for this summer when the gun control laws were passed last week. They were convinced that two antique guns that hold 10-round magazines to be featured in those competitions the original Ruger 10-22 rifle from 1960 and a 1911 Colt pistol would be affected by the provision that limits loaded bullets to seven, and thought owners would be reluctant to use them in competitions.
But the governors office told the Times on Tuesday that those guns are exempt from the magazine provision in the NY SAFE Act because they qualify as antiques. According to section 38 of the act, antique guns are defined as manufactured at least 50 years prior to the current date .. but not including replicas.
The answer to this question was not readily available on the states frequently -asked-questions page about the act: http://www.governor.ny.gov/2013/gun-reforms-faq. The governors office was compelled to dig up specific language from the law also available on the website to find the answer.
Robert T. Wood, co-founder of the club launched in 2007, said it is welcome news for the club. The club plans to host Ruger Rim Fire shootouts in June and August at the Sackets Harbor Sportsmans Club for the first time, in which the Ruger 10-22 rifle will be used.
If that is the way the state is going to interpret the law, then yes, well host the competitions, the 69-year-old said. Its the type of competition that brings together fathers and sons, mothers and daughters.
Despite the assertion of the governors office, Mr. Wood wants more evidence from the state that owners may indeed fire 10 bullets with the Colt 1911 pistol, which the club uses to host Wild Bunch shootouts every September. Confusing the matter is a current definition of antique handguns found on the Division of State Police website that states that, if ammunition is currently produced and sold by manufacturers on the market for a particular gun, the weapon no longer meets the criteria of an antique weapon and is required to be registered. Bullets for the Colt 1911 pistol are readily available in stores.
Nevertheless, the governors office told the Times the definition of antique guns in the NY SAFE Act is the now the current law. Spokesman Richard A. Azzopardi did not respond, though, when asked if the old definition of antique firearms is obsolete.
Mr. Wood said, A clarification of the law is needed so that our club members can understand it.
Starting April 15, those who bring modern firearms that dont qualify as antiques to shooting ranges will be allowed to load only seven bullets in 10-round magazines; only magazines with seven or fewer rounds may be sold by dealers in New York. Magazines holding more than 10 rounds will become illegal to own Jan. 14, 2014.
The vigilantes club sprouted in Sackets Harbor as an offshoot of a California-based group called Cowboy Action Shooting started by the Single Action Shooting Society, which has chapters across the U.S. Club members wear period cowboy clothes dating back to the late 1800s for shootouts, and theyre required to use aliases. Most guns the group uses are single-action, except for the 1911 Colt pistol used in Wild Bunch shootouts. The competition is named after a 1969 epic Western film called The Wild Bunch, about an old outlaw gang on the Texas-Mexico border in 1913 that uses the pistols.
We celebrate the Old West in many different ways here, and most of the members own these Colt pistols, said club leader Joseph P. Hulbert, whos pleased owners will still be able to fire the pistols under the law. It is nice that they have allowed an exemption for the antique gun.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
Carbon High School teacher James Thompson has seen his hard work pay off after many years of teaching students. And the awards signifying his hard work and dedication in his career have been starting to accumulate.
Thompson was announced as the Apples for Teachers Teacher of the Year on Friday. The award, created just over a year ago, comes just two weeks after he was named as the Apples for Teacher winner for the month of May.
"It was a real shock," Thompson said after being named Teacher of the Year. "I am extremely flattered by it."
The longtime teacher has been involved in the teaching profession for 37 years, including 30 years spent teaching in Carbon County. One of his favorite parts about teaching high school students is encouraging them to work hard and look at things from different perspectives.
"The ability to get kids to think about things is very important," Thompson explained. "My job is to help open up the world around them."
To receive the Teacher of the Month awards, Thompson was nominated by students he has taught. Seeing the letters students wrote in nominating him for the award was a touching moment, Thompson said.
He cited one nomination letter in particular which said a student and her sister, who is in college, were both taught by Thompson. The student said her sister has done well in classes such as college literature and other writing classes because of Thompson's enthusiasm in teaching students. Two of Thompson's favorite subjects to teach include literature and mythology.
Hearing about students who have gone on to college, including out of the area, is one thing. But having them come back and share their stories of success is one of the best parts about being a teacher, Thompson said.
"It's a great profession to be in," Thompson said of watching the students succeed. "They still remember teachers who helped along the way."
Jennifer Tryon, KUSA and KASL office manager, said eight people from around the community voted on the Teacher of the Year award. Tryon said Thompson was an easy choice to receive the award because of his love for teaching and pushing students to excel in life.
"He's [Thompson] so passionate about his work," Tryon said. "It [the award] couldn't have went to a better man."
In receiving the award, Thompson was presented with a plaque and an Apple laptop computer during a luncheon held at Farlaino's Cafe on Friday.
While the award holds a special place in his heart, the laptop may help Thompson fulfill some of his dreams. He said he has never owned a laptop for himself and now with his brand new piece of equipment, he may be able to start writing a book. The possible topic of the book? Teaching, of course.
"This [the laptop] will certainly help with writing a book," he said.
After almost four decades of teaching, Thompson said he has looked into the possibility of retiring in the next few years. While he may be planning his life after teaching, Thompson said students help play a pivotal role with his desire to continue teaching.
"The kids help keep me young," he quipped.
