Matt P wrote:He started 8 games that year.
Matt P wrote:Your argument for him being deemed a success is the exact same argument that many stat people use to show that quality starts is not a good stat.
Jordan Tuwiner wrote:He started 32. I'm talking about 2010.
thezeroes wrote:
Not saying he was a success but stating that by the standards of the quality start he exceeded the 4.50 ERA threshold. Personally I think they should add an inning to the Quality Start and make it seven innings pitched and three earned runs or less as this would work out to an era of 3.86 and have a better yardstick to measure by.
Matt P wrote:I'm not saying it was bad I'm just saying I don't think it was a "very successful full season".
His ERA was over 5 before he got on that run at the end of the season for 8 or 9 games and everyone started thinking he could be an Ace or a solid #2 starting pitcher.
Jordan Tuwiner wrote:I would call it pretty successful. His rookie FIP- was better than the rookie FIP- of Madison Bumgarner, Zach Britton, Matt Moore, Tommy Milone, and even Wei-Yin Chen.
Plus, you can't just hand select a number of starts to throw away when it comes to a season's worth of data.
Matt P wrote:All I am saying is that I don't think it was a full season of being very successful. He wasn't very successful for the full season, just for 8 or 9 starts (forget the exact number). Why can't we select a number of starts when it comes to judging a full season to determine if the entire season was a success?
Jordan Tuwiner wrote:Should we throw away a random hot streak the Orioles had this season?
Maybe the entire season was not filled with success, but I would call the season as a whole very successful.
thezeroes wrote:Personally I think they should add an inning to the Quality Start and make it seven innings pitched and three earned runs or less as this would work out to an era of 3.86 and have a better yardstick to measure by.
Matt P wrote:I would consider a teams success and a pitcher who pitches every fifth day's success two entirely different subjects.
Jordan Tuwiner wrote:The point is you can't just exclude those outings because they came at the end of the season. Would you think differently if those 8 or 9 outings had come in the middle of the year?

|BR Horse Show Impact: $7.7 Million
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 18 December 2012 06:07
The High Country specializes in events, from the Highland Games to the Woolly Worm Festival, each brings an audience and an influx of money to the area. But how much? A new economic impact study done as part of an ASU honors thesis takes a close look at one event; The annual Blowing Rock Charity Horse Show,
and says it pumped just over $7.7 million into Blowing Rock and the surrounding area in just a three-week period this summer. The findings come from the economic impact study conducted by Nicole Jelley of Raleigh, who majored in economics and marketing at Appalachian State University. Jelley, who graduated Dec. 16th, did the study as the basis for her honors thesis in the Walker College of Business and was conducted at the request of the Blowing Rock Charity Horse Show Foundation Board of Directors. The horse show's total economic impact of $7,745,681.34 was derived by a formula that combines expenditures related directly to the horse show of almost $5.2 million with indirect expenditures that occur as funds associated with the horse show circulate through the local economy, almost $2,6 million. The horse show runs each year from late July to mid-August—the height of the High Country summer tourist season and the busiest of the year. Maurice Ewing, a member of the Blowing Rock Charity Horse Show Foundation Board of Directors said, "We are not aware of another tourist attraction in the area that can produce that much revenue in 22 days." For her study, Jelley collected information about expenditures and participant characteristics from exhibitors, spectators, vendors and employees related to on-site show expenses, lodging, restaurants and entertainment expenditures. Nearly 2,750 exhibitors, spectators, vendors and others attended this summer's horse shows. The maximum per person expenditure for both lodging and restaurants was $3,000. Out-of-state residents spent an average of $947.64 on total horse show expenses while N.C. residents spent an average of $485.40. Out-of-state residents spent an average of $1,230.36 on other expenses while N.C. residents had an average spending of $555.16.
On average, $1,873 was spent by individuals staying in Blowing Rock and who attended or participated in the horse show. That figure is based on information provided by those who attended the horse show for one day to two weeks. A rider since age 7, Jelley has competed in the horse show and worked at the stables as an employee of the Blowing Rock Equestrian Preserve. "I think my experience at the 2010 BRCHS helped me to design and implement the project, especially with the survey, since it is such a unique show. I think the main reason it's different from other horse shows is because of the historic show grounds and facility," she said. "Something I found particularly interesting was the statistical difference between what N.C. residents spent on both horse show and other expenses and what out-of-state residents spent. People who reside in a state other than N.C. spent significantly more on both expenditure categories. This result is logical and to be expected, but I was pleased that I could support it statistically," she said.
According to the report, horse show expenses represented almost 38 percent of the total expenditures. Spending on lodging represented nearly 17 percent and restaurant spending accounted for about 12 percent of the total. Lesser amounts were spent on retail shopping (about 9 percent) and on vehicle expenses (7 percent). About 300 horses and riders competed in each of the horse show's competition classes – American Saddlebred and hunter/jumper. Competitors came from 19 states including Texas, New York and Florida. The last economic impact study conducted by the Appalachian Regional Development Institute in 2000 indicated a $6.7 million economic impact on the local economy during the three weeks of the horse show. The Blowing Rock Charity Horse Show (BRCHS) has been in continuous operation since 1923. It was begun by Lloyd M. Tate, a horseman from Pinehurst and a seasonal livery stable operator. The first horse show was held off Green Hill Road behind the Green Park Hotel. The horse show moved a few years later to its current location at the L.M. Tate Horse Show Grounds off Laurel Lane. Recognized as the oldest, continuous, outdoor horse show in the United States, the three-week series of competitions draws riders from across the U.S. who compete in the American Saddlebred or hunter/jumper portion of the horse show. Proceeds from the event help support area charities.

By JOAN POWELL,Wellington
My husband Gary and I attended a local meeting in Emery County a couple of weeks ago. It was for the purpose of Emery County presenting their ideas towards their own wilderness bill, like Washington County did. This was done as opposed to having SUWA and associates presenting their views, and their views only. We already know and feel the effects of their ideas. And I dare say, we do not like it, or agree with it.
The big question, however, is what are you doing about it? There were 28 people in attendance at the meeting. And I would dare say, there were more people from outside of the Emery County area than there were from within it. I'm sure many people in the area are thinking, well.....here we go again. This public lands battle will never end; I repeat, never end. We will always be battling for what is right. USA-ALL was there. At Your Leisure (TV show) was there. Even four gentlemen from Cache County were there. That was almost a quarter of the people that were there.
What does that tell you?
You do have another chance for another meeting on August 12.
Gary and I went to Family Home Evening the other night. Our lesson for the night was, What Happened to the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence after they had the courage to stand up for what they thought was right. It was an eye opener. It was presented by Rush Limbaugh, Jr. I would like to quote a couple of things from that lesson.
"Of those 56 who signed the Declaration of Independence, nine died of wounds or hardships during the war.. Five were captured and imprisoned, in each case with brutal treatment. Several lost wives, sons, or entire families. One lost his 13 children. Two wives were brutally treated. All were at one time or another the victims of manhunts and driven from their homes. Twelve signers had their homes completely burned. Seventeen lost all they owned. Yet not one defected or went back on his pledged word. Their honor, and the nation they sacrificed so much to create is still intact."
There is no more profound sentence that this. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
I know we are experiencing more and more elimination of our rights. We are coming slowly, but surely, to a point of a complete take over. We can do something about this. It involves more than just sitting in our air-conditioned homes, watching the big screen T.V.'s we all own. It means giving of your time and means we need to fight back against the people who will not stop at trying to find ways to eliminate freedoms, we used to enjoy.
We've had a great number of people who are sacrificing their personal time and a lot of their own money to fight for what is right. Are you amongst them? Or are you the whiners, always thinking it's a sinking ship and can't do anything to help. Well, you can. But you have to have a burning desire to do so.
First of all you can go to this next meeting in Emery County. If those men from Cache Valley can come, if At Your Leisure can come, and USA-All can come, and express their desires to keep things open, you can certainly make it.
The next big thing I wanted to passionately encourage people to do is to attend the rally in Salt Lake City on August 8 concerning keeping lands open. We have a chance to be a part of history for Utah by just being there. I know there are weddings, family reunions, class reunions, etc., that are going on. But for a few hours, for one day, you may just be the numbers needed to turn the wilderness thing around and send a message to Washington D.C., and our elected officials, that we really care about Utah and our future. We may not see the fruits of our labors tomorrow; it may not happen for years, but it can happen. But we need you to come. We need you to bring your families because it's their future too. Bring your machines, i.e. 4-wheelers, snowmobiles, motorcycles, etc. Bring your back-hoes, trackhoes, company vehicles, whatever. Or maybe, just bring yourselves, and your families and friends. This one is really important.
I took one half hour to write this piece. Do you think you can give me one day of your life for this rally? You can help yourself, your posterity, and your state by doing so?

HANOVER, N.H. Dartmouth Colleges mens hockey team came out inspired Saturday after blowing a third-period lead in a loss to St. Lawrence University the previous night.
The Big Green never trailed Clarkson on Saturday and defeated the Golden Knights 5-1 before 3,714 fans in an ECAC Hockey game at Thompson Arena. Dartmouth outshot the Golden Knights 49-21.
They had a little bit of an extra step on us, Clarkson coach Casey Jones said. We didnt have our A game tonight. We worked hard and did some things.
Dartmouth (11-7-2 overall, 7-5-1 ECAC Hockey) led SLU 2-1 after two periods on Friday and then gave up three goals to the Saints. But the Big Green came out aggressive in Saturdays game, outshooting Clarkson 18-5 in the first period, although they had no goals to show for their effort.
I thought we were doing a good job of collapsing and helping out in the defensive zones, Jones said. We may not have had quite the edge we had (Friday) night.
Dartmouth finally scored midway through the second period on a shot from Matt Lindblad at 10 minutes, 36 seconds, and still held just a 1-0 lead after two, despite a 36-12 edge in shots.
The Big Green extended the lead to 2-0 when Tyler Sikura scored a power-play goal at 3:51.
Clarkson (5-13-6, 4-6-2) got back in the game at 11:00 of the third period with a goal from Joe Zarbo, who had a hat trick on Friday in a 5-1 win over Harvard.
Hes natural around the net, Jones said. If he gets hot, its going to be a good thing for us. He has the ability to control a game.
Dartmouth regained a two-goal advantage just 2:54 later with a goal from Eric Robinson and added two late goals.

Gillibrand Wants Geese Roundup In Wake Of Bird Strikes
In the wake of a pair of recent bird strikes involving planes in the New York area, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is looking to rein in the flying nuisance responsible. She's proposing a new measure that would make it easier for the Department of Agriculture to round up and kill Canada geese on federal land at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge near Kennedy Airport. Wildlife advocates oppose the idea. The birds can shatter windshields, dent fuselages and ruin engines. Read More: NY1
Jackson Heights BID Delivers On Promise, Merchants Say
The Jackson Heights shopping strip is looking a lot prettier these days with news trees, benches and cleaner streets. It's a far cry from what the 82nd Street business improvement district or BID used to look like. Now it's got a new look, new leadership and a new name. It's now called the 82nd Street partnership and business owners appear to like it. Retail businesses are members of the BID and many of the store owners had complained to local leaders that under the old Business Improvement District there wasn't a lot of improvement.

Power line from Quebec to Astoria draws mixed reviews
A proposal to create a $2.2 billion power transmission line to bring wind and hydroelectric power from Quebec to Astoria is pitting environmentalists and against each another and creating some unusual alliances. The Champlain Hudson Power Express project would bring up to 1,000 megawatts of Canadian power into the city through a roughly 333-mile underground, and at times underwater, cable.

Judge clears crane magnate James Lomma of manslaughter in deaths
Manhattan crane czar James Lomma was acquitted Thursday of the deaths of two hardhats who were killed when one of his giant machines collapsed on them. Lomma, who was charged with manslaughter in the deadly May 2008 accident at an E. 91st St. construction site, sat stoically as Judge Daniel Conviser handed down his verdict in Manhattan Supreme Court. Lomma faced up to 15 years in prison for the deaths of Donald Leo, 30, and Ramadan Kurtaj, 27. The two were killed when the crane cab plunged 200 feet down into the street. Read More: Daily News
Knicks' Lin beats Lakers' Bryant in NBA jersey sales
Jeremy Lin outsold Kobe Bryant in official jersey sales over the past year, the NBA revealed Thursday, despite the Knicks phenom only emerging to prominence in February. Fans rushed to get the former undrafted D-Leaguer's name on their back at an unprecedented rate when "Linsanity" took hold little more than two months ago as his breakthrough performances captured global attention. The mass demand meant only Bulls guard Derrick Rose sold more jerseys than Lin last year. It is the first time the Chicago star, who was boosted by last season's MVP title, has topped the annual list. Read More: New York Post
Camera catches prostitute accused of stealing $500K worth of diamonds
This is the savvy prostitute who allegedly swiped half a million dollars worth of uncut diamonds from a hapless gem trader — caught on surveillance video as she made her barefoot getaway from a Manhattan hotel, police say. Erika Cooper, 34 — a k a Bianca Williams — is now the target of an NYPD manhunt for allegedly pulling off the April 17 heist at the Cosmopolitan Hotel, where she waited until her john Kurt Kaiser fell asleep before she fled with his loot. Her big mistake was giving Kaiser her real phone number, which cops have used to identify her and dig up mug shots from an earlier prostitution bust, a police source said. Read More: New York Post

The perfect wedding dress for each body type
Ballgown, mermaid, trumpet, A-line, empire, natural waist, dropped waist… there are so many shapes and forms when it comes to wedding dresses, but not necessarily every cut flatters every figure.
Here are a few tips from us for finding the right dress for you body type.
If you are pear shaped
If you have big hips or a pear shaped body, you could either look for a classic A-line silhouette or a natural waistline that flows away from the hips. But if you want to emphasize on your curves, you could also choose a mermaid gown.
Our pick:
A natural waistline and a ruffled skirt to draw attention away from the hips: Style 77956
If you want to highlight your hips, this beaded mermaid gown is a great choice: Style CT105.
If you are petite
A strapless mermaid or trumpet gown is perfect for petites. You can also go for a style with a waistline above the natural waist, since it will make you appear longer.
Avoid dropped waist or big ballgowns; you don't want to disappear in your dress.
Our pick:
A strapless or one-shoulder mermaid gown is a great option for a petite girl: Style AK99
This high waistline will make a short body appear taller: Style EK992
If you are plus sized
Diagonal pleads along the waist have a slimming effect are a great choice for curvier bodies. Classic A-lines or ballgowns are also a good option.
Our pick:
Classic A-line with a sweetheart neckline and slimming pleads: Style EK977
A great ballgown with lace details and illusion neckline: Style EK967
If you are busty

CANTON Canton town officials are unhappy with a St. Lawrence County legislative committee decision to include land zoned residential in an agricultural district because of uncertainties how the designation might play out.
At a Monday meeting, legislators approved additions for Agricultural Districts 1 and 2 that included parcels in the town of Canton, some of which are in a residential zone that has prompted discussion on the role of backyard chickens and small-scale commercial gardening that caters to local markets.
Robert J. Washo and Maria P. Flip Filippi, along with other family members and supporters, applied for land they own on Miner Street Road to be included in an agricultural district.
The Ag and Farmland Protection Board reviewed the requests along with those of 17 other county property owners and unanimously recommended their inclusion.
Cantons residential zones in the past have not allowed commercial agriculture or farm animals but cries for change recently prompted allowance of community supported agriculture operations under certain conditions. The town Planning Board is working on a law that could allow home-raised fowl.
Canton town officials wanted more time to explore their concerns that inclusion in an ag district could affect future decisions.
However, county planner Matilda M. Larson told legislators inclusion in an ag district does not force a community to allow farming but when it is allowed, Ag and Markets will weigh in on what constitutes reasonable agricultural practices.
The ag district program is not zoning, she said.
In a memo to legislators, Ms. Larsen wrote that ag districts protect farm operations from unreasonable land use regulations, but they do not pre-empt zoning. However, after speaking with state officials about case law and ambiguities, town leaders are not so sure.
Those who picked up the phone and called Ag and Markets know the dilemma this puts Canton in, Supervisor David T. Button said. The only thing clear is that nothing is really clear. Those people who ought to have clear answers on this cannot provide them. This could be saying that agriculture that comes after zoning as residential gets to encroach on residential. The only ones that will have to pay to determine that are the taxpayers of Canton.
In the case of the chicken law it is drafting, being in an ag district might determine that the town could not restrict the number of birds per acre, Mr. Button suggested.
Mr. Button said the town would be satisfied by an advisory opinion from county attorney Michael C. Crowe that ag districts do not trump local zoning.
Legislator Stephen M. Putman, D-Canton, tried unsuccessfully in committee to have lawmakers remove a 2.8-acre parcel owned by Douglas and Jenelle Matthews from ag district inclusion as he said they are at odds with the town over the lack of a building permit and havent cooperated with the zoning.
Excluding a property from an ag district because it is not in good standing with a town would be a new standard, Ms. Larsen said.
The criterion is whether the land is being used for agriculture, county Planning Director Keith J. Zimmerman said. Part of the Matthewss property is leased to Mr. Washo and Ms. Filippi.
Mr. Washo said the town told him that any satellite gardens would not have to apply under the CSA regulation.
Were following the letter of the law, he said.
But Code Enforcement Officer Russell B. Rusty Lawrence IV said he would have to review the requirements.

Words of Wisdom from Commandant of Midshipmen Capt. Robert E. Clark II
Posted on: April 09, 2013 08:00 EDT by Naval Academy Public Affairs
"Greatness is not a measure of how many trophies one has on a shelf, the number of medals one has on their chest, the title next to their name, or the number of speeches given on their behalf. True greatness is a reflection of how one motivates and inspires others to do things that have yet to be done, or that others do not feel they can achieve. Dare to be great and change someone's life."
"Fortune may favor the bold, but history only remembers the victor. Never give in, never give up!"
"Always have a dream, and passionately follow your dream. Everyone has a potential for excellence, but what differentiates us is who is willing to sacrifice, focus and endure to not only reach their potential, but more importantly, the collective potential of their organization."
"Don't allow yourself to be bounded by uninformed opinions about your potential or capability. No paper or static calculation can adequately define your potential. The thing that is the most important and can't be measured is your heart and dedication."
"Don't be afraid to fail because from failure, you gain strength. A leader is not measured by how many times they fail, but more importantly how one learns from failure and in turn inspires others to then view obstacles as opportunities."
"You always want to be a green apple. A green apple is always growing. It gives off and takes in. You're always learning and you're always providing. The minute you stop dreaming, or think you know everything, you become a red apple….and what happens to a red apple? It falls from the tree and dies."
"Listen, learn, and then lead."

Game Balls: Jets @ Bills 11/6…Here We Go
After all of the hype surrounding the Bills surprising 5-2 start, the Jets proved to everyone that Bills are still the Bills, regardless of how much "Fitzmagic" they may have. The other New York team cooperated and knocked off the Patriots in dramatic fashion to set up a prime time match up for AFC East supremacy. The Patriots are reeling following two straight losses and if Rex wants to host a home playoff game, the ball is literally in his court as the Jets host the Patriots next Sunday night, a win would make the division the Jets' to lose. Now that I've restated the obvious, let's hand out some game balls:
The Offensive Line:
The much maligned unit continues to make strides and has vastly improved in both the run blocking and pass-protection. Even the obvious weak link, Wayne Hunter has become less of a liability although he is good for at least one penalty per game. The front five gave Sanchez ample time to throw the ball today and he used it to his advantage (for the most part). In addition, the ground and pound attack is beginning to return to circa 2009 form and imposing their will even when the opposition stacks the box. The Jets controlled the line of scrimmage and as a result dominated the time of possession. So here's a game ball guys, don't let this get to your head with the Pats coming back to town.
The Front Seven:
There is only one word to sum up the defense's performance and that is "dominant." Fitzpatrick was uncomfortable all game thanks to some work by the big guys up front, especially Sione Pouha who had a team-high seven tackles and forced a key fumble that was recovered by Jim Leonhard early in the second half. The linebackers were especially impressive as they both produced pressure and turnovers in the form of interceptions by Calvin Pace and David Harris. Aaron Maybin also deserves honorable mention here, although he did not register a sack in his return to Buffalo, he provided constant pressure that led to turnovers. You can tell that Rex and Pettine were trying to get Maybin a sack as they continued to bring heavy pressure after the game was well in hand.
Nick Folk:
I can honestly say that I now have a permanent seat on the Nick Folk bandwagon, last year I was calling for his head but this season he looks like a new man. He went into this game without missing a kick all season and although he missed one today, Folk has been clutch thus far this year, connecting from 49 and 50 again today and for that he gets a game ball.
Joe McKnight:
McKnight should probably share this one with special teams coordinator, Mike Westhoff but nevertheless, this one has been a long time coming for McKnight who leads the league in kick return average. The second-year man out of USC has shown why the Jets traded up to get him and were willing to part ways with both Danny Woodhead and Leon Washington. After a disappointing rookie season, McKnight has burst on the scene this year making contributions on offense, defense, and special teams. However, this game ball is for his special teams abilities as he nearly took another return to the house today and continues to give the Jets offense great starting field position.
Take A Lap:
Mark Sanchez:
I didn't want to make the Sanchize do any laps considering how well he played overall but the laps are for his bone-headed, momentum-killing turnovers. After a drive that ate up almost the entire first quarter, Sanchez threw a potentially costly red zone pick that may or may not have been intended for Dustin Keller because after looking at the tape, it appears as though it was intended for Jairus Byrd. Thankfully the defense was able to bail him out and keep the Bills from turning it into points. Sanchez culminated a sloppy first half by fumbling a shotgun snap after David Harris intercepted Ryan Fitzpatrick, costing the Jets an opportunity to add to their lead before half. Having said all of that, I think the passing game has looked better than it has in weeks and if Sanchez can cut down on the turnover, they will be tough to stop.
Could Use A Good Old Floggin':
Matt Mulligan:
The backup, blocking tight end has been a penalty machine in the limited action he has seen this year, today was no different. After Dustin Keller was shaking up after trying to inexplicably helicopter for extra yards (which should probably earn its own award) but I digress, Mulligan was thrust into starting duty where he looked absolutely lost. "Mully" committed a couple of costly penalties, one of which negated a huge run by Shonn Greene. Kudos to Brian Schottenheimer and Brandon Moore for chewing his expendable ass out, which turned out to be precursor to his benching. Mulligan was replaced by undrafted free agent, Josh Baker who fared pretty well before Keller came back in the second half. The Jets signed former Bills tight end, Shawn Nelson earlier this week and if he doesn't step his game up, Mulligan's days could be numbered.

CANTON - A former Olympic slalom canoeist met with residents in Canton and Potsdam on Monday to talk about building whitewater parks to bring in thrill-seeking tourists.
Scott Shipley, a three-time canoe slalom world champion, now works with S20 Engineering and Design of Lyons, Colo., to design whitewater parks for communities big and small, including the course used in the London Olympics. He held back-to-back presentations Monday in Potsdam and Canton to talk about building whitewater courses on the Raquette and Grasse rivers.
Extreme kayakers from far and near already flock to St. Lawrence County for Coltons six annual dam releases, which turn the stretch of the Raquette River running through Stone Valley into a thrill-seekers paradise.
Now Canton and Potsdam want in on the action by creating less-challenging whitewater parks to appeal to families and boaters of beginner to intermediate skill levels.
The three towns would come together under the banner of the St. Lawrence County Whitewater Recreation Park.
The towns hired S2O and Mr. Shipley to examine options. The firm is in the middle of a preliminary study, which cost $46,000 and will be completed in January.
The plan is for each community to cater to a different skill level. Potsdam could have a park designed for beginners to have fun and practice while providing low-challenge thrills for more experienced boaters. Cantons park might be a bit more challenging, meant for the intermediate kayaker.
Coltons water is already perfect for extreme kayakers, but Mr. Shipley said creating more facilities for spectators could draw a more casual crowd to watch.
This unified effort could, in theory, pull in tourists looking to ride the rapids, watch the pros, and spend money at businesses and hotels.
One of the reasons were most interested in seeing this happen is to create new business opportunities, said Frederick J. Hanss, director of Potsdams Planning & Development Department.
One of the biggest problems is the areas remoteness.
Its a long ways from anywhere to get here, Mr. Shipley said. But he said kayakers are willing to make long trips if the destination is worth it, and St. Lawrence Countys proximity to Ottawa, a kayaking mecca, might encourage more people to take a detour.
The parks would be created using natural rock to create obstacles, rapids and drops. They would take the environment into account while preventing flooding or upsetting other areas of the rivers, Mr. Shipley said.
It has to be responsible. It has to somehow fit into the habitat thats there, he said.
Specific locations have yet to be determined. In Potsdam a park would probably be built near Fall Island, between the Maple Street and Sandstone Drive bridges.
Many of those atthe Potsdam meeting were Clarkson University students eager for a whitewater area within paddling distance of the schools boathouse.
The project will not be completed quickly. After the preliminary study, more studies and fundraising will need to begin.

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) - Eliot Cutler, an independent who ran for Maine governor in 2010, says he plans to run again for the state's top office.
Cutler tells WZON radio he will register with the state ethics commission on Thursday for the 2014 race. His filing did not appear on the commission's website by late morning.
In 2010, Cutler lost a close race to Republican Paul LePage, who has already registered as a candidate for next year's race. Cutler says polling done after last year's elections helped persuade him to run.

WADDINGTON Organizers of Waddingtons 2012 Ultimate Fishing Town USA contest bid say they have no plans to nominate the community again this year.
Preregistration for the contest is open, but past organizers said the contest conflicts with their plans to bring the Bass Anglers Sportsman Societys Bassmaster Elite Series Tournament to the area in August.
It requires a lot of time and energy to run the contest, Mayor Janet M. Otto-Cassada said Tuesday. With the tournament coming up, we just dont have it this year.
The contest requires months of campaigning, voting and advertising, Ms. Otto-Cassada said.
The town placed second the last two years, winning $5,000 each time. Organizers donated $4,500 to the St. Lawrence River Showdown Committee.
The money will be used to help plan events around the Bassmaster Elite Series Tournament, slated for Aug. 8 to 11.
Waddingtons announcement clears the way for other areas such as Ogdensburg and Massena. Last year, the city and town dropped out to support Waddingtons bid. Ogdensburg Director of Parks and Recreation Matthew J. Curatolo said his office has no plans to head a campaign this year, but he would support any north country nomination.
If someone else from Ogdensburg, Massena or even Waddington wanted to nominate their town, we would also support them, coordinator Deanna Shampine said. I would be glad to offer my advice.
As in previous years, the top prize is $25,000 to be invested in the future of fishing in the winning community, and a television feature on the World Fishing Network. Eight $3,500 regional prizes will be awarded to runners-up.
Towns, villages and cities can preregister at www.UltimateFishingTown.com. Official nominations will open March 4.

Baseball Travels to Normal to Face Illinois State in Weekend Series
OMAHA, Neb. - Creighton Baseball returns to MVC action looking to take down the first place Illinois State Redbirds this weekend in Normal, Illinois.
The Jays fell to Kansas State in a midweek battle on Tuesday, April 30th, 6-3.
Creighton begins a pivotal stretch of its Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) season with three games at Illinois State over the weekend (May 3-5).
Following the series with the Redbirds, Creighton returns home for a single game with South Dakota State, then heads to Wichita for another critical series with the Wichita State Shockers.
Jays vs. Illinois State
Creighton holds a 71-34 series edge on Illinois State, including a 21-7 mark under coach Servais. The Jays took both meetings between the two teams in the MVC Tournament last season and have won five of the last six battles with the Redbirds.
Scouting the Redbirds (28-16, 9-3 MVC)
Illinois State opened the season and MVC play with a brief stumble, but have found its stride since. The Redbirds dropped six of their opening eight games of the 2013 season, but have rebounded to win 26 of 36 since. The opening weekend of MVC play followed a similar path as Illinois State dropped two of three to Wichita State, but has taken eight of the next nine conference games to surge into first place.
The biggest difference for the Redbirds has been starting pitching. Opening the season as the Illinois State closer, senior Chris Razo has taken over as the Friday night starter over the past month. Razo has a 1.25 ERA and a 5-0 record in 50.1 innings. Behind him, sophomore Dan Savas and Brad Sorkin have created a dominate starting trio. Savas is 6-0 with a 2.41 ERA, whil Sorkin is 6-4 with an ERA of 3.44.
Offensively Illinois State has been solid throughout the season. The Redbirds are hitting .290 as a team, led by a .381 mark from senior Eric Aguilera. The outfielder leads Illinois State with 67 hits, 21 combined extra base hits and a .591 slugging percentage. His seven home runs on the season are tied for not merely the team lead, but the most in the MVC. Aguilera is alone at the top of the conference in hits (67) and RBI (42).

(a) Necessity of regulation in public interest
As disclosed in reports of the Federal Trade Commission made pursuant to S. Res. 83 (Seventieth Congress, first session) and other reports made pursuant to the authority of Congress, it is declared that the business of transporting and selling natural gas for ultimate distribution to the public is affected with a public interest, and that Federal regulation in matters relating to the transportation of natural gas and the sale thereof in interstate and foreign commerce is necessary in the public interest.

Estrogen dominance is one of those terms we know is bad because it increases our risk for certain cancers like breast & prostate cancer, but what else does estrogen dominance do to the body in terms of getting results and achieving optimal health?
- Early onset of puberty, girls are developing faster then they should and getting their cycles earlier as low as 10 years of age
- Endometriosis afflicting 10% of all perimenopausal women
- Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), rising and afflicting close to 30% of perimenopausal women
- Uterine fibroids affecting close to 25% of women from age 35 to 50
- As mentioned above breast cancer afflicting close to 10% of all women
- Infertility problems
- Ovarian cyst or tumors
The common denominator to the above conditions is estrogen dominance, or when the body has excess estrogen and is deficient in progesterone. What blows my mind when I meet with clients and assess their nutrition and they mention that they suffer from any of the above serious conditions they view it as normal because it is so common. Often nutrition and lifestyle strategies are never given or overlooked by conventional health professionals or worse they resort to serious surgeries or other invasive procedures and synthetic hormone replacement therapies before they try to modify diet, supplement and make lifestyle changes.
Here are some signs that you may be estrogen dominant:
- Holding fat in the upper thighs and back of the arms (men & women)
- Man boobs (there I said it, but it is true)
- Difficulty losing weight (men and women)
- Excess cellulite (back of arms, thighs)
- Hard time putting on muscle, despite your workout efforts you are still "soft" looking (men and women)
- Breasts are swollen and getting bigger
- Irritable (men and women)
- Excessive cramping/PMS before cycle
- Complete absence of period or they are missed frequently
- Fibroids
- Endometriosis
- Cyst in my breast
- Tired all the time (men and women)
- Low testosterone (men and women)
- Decreased libido (both men & women)
What causes estrogen dominance?
The modern technology and poor food quality are the main culprits.
Food-we have taken our diets from clean and whole unprocessed foods to quick and fast processed foods. The chemicals, hormones, antibiotics and pesticides in conventional foods mimic estrogen in the body making us estrogen dominant.
Xenoestrogens- typically found in cosmetics, creams, lotions, shampoos, room deodorizers, cleaning products, paint, nail polish, unfiltered water, etc. This is probably the most scary of all estrogen mimickers, because we are exposed to chemicals, unfiltered water daily and the xeno estrogens are fat soluble meaning they settle into the fat cells of the body making it hard to lose weight and can also contribute to the above medical conditions.
Synthetic Hormone Replacement Therapy- birth control also counts in this category. When I meet with clients and look at their labs and see that their body is basically NOT producing any hormones and they are getting synthetic HRT because they have "bad PMS" or "hot flashes" I cringe. This is one of the worst things you can do for your body, if you have practiced all of the lifestyle, supplement and nutrition strategies (don;t worry they are coming), and you still need some relief then see a doctor who specializes in bio identical hormone replacement therapies, this is a much better option. Sure conventional practitioners may roll their eyes but that is because they are jaded, find a doctor with a holistic approach to your body.
Here are other things that contribute to estrogen dominance that I will dive into more later, but just to make you aware see the list below.
- Increased consumption of caffeine, sugar, fast food, and processed foods (especially genetically modified soy products)
- Deficiency in vitamin B6 and magnesium
- Liver Disease
- Obesity
- Stress
- Exposure to industrial solvents
What can you do to detox some of that estrogen dominance?
GO GREEN! Transition your house into a xenoestrogen FREE environment. * Please note this does not have to be done overnight, it can be overwhelming to try to do it all at once, and if your family is not on board you may hit a road block in regards to budget, etc.
Start with what you put on your skin (the skin is the largest organ in the body and absorbs everything!) Some specific cosmetics items to start with make-up (Hourglass is a safe brand), lotion, soaps, shampoos, conditioners, deodorants, toothpaste, etc. (Jason and Burt'sBees is also a safe brand) but don't limit yourself to those only check the ingredient list and do not buy it if it has anything with Phthalates, parabens, sulfates, to name a few.
Then move onto what you eat and drink out of, ceramic, stainless steel, or glass containers to cook with, store, and drink out of. Avoid plastics, Teflon, cans and aluminum. Especially avoid heating up foods in these containers. Also look into getting a reverse osmosis water filter on your house or even kitchen sink and shower heads to start with. This will reduce your exposure to xeno estrogens through our contaminated water supply.
Finally move onto what you clean with– this was a tough one for me, sometimes the "green" products are not always the most efficient when it comes to getting the job done. The best brand of "green" cleaning supplies that I have found that still works is Method, you used to only be able to find it at Target but now Kroger and other big mainstream stores sell it. There are other brands out there, shop around and use what you like. You can also make your own.
Supplement with your core supplements to ensure you are not deficient in any essential vitamins or minerals that could contribute to estrogen dominance.
- High quality multi-vitmain/mineral supplement
- omega 3 fish oil (1000-2000mg of EPA+DHA)
- multi-probiotic
- vitamin D-3
- calcium and magnesium
Specifically to address the estrogen dominance take DIM this is a natural blend of potent cruciferous vegetable extracts and herbs that naturally detox the hormones. All of my clients who have tried DIM love it.
Part 2 of the estrogen dominance series will go over more specific food and meal recommendations. Stay tuned

YIELD: Makes about forty-two 2-inch cookies
- 3 cups pastry or bleached all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter or margarine, chilled
- About 2/3 cup sweet or dry white wine
- 1 cup (12 ounces) honey
- 2 1/2 cups (about 12 1/2 ounces) walnuts, chopped
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest (optional)
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated black pepper
- Egg wash (1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)
1. To make the pastry: Combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter to resemble coarse crumbs. Sprinkle a little wine over a section of the flour, then mix with a fork to moisten. Push the moistened dough aside and continue adding enough wine until the dough just holds together. Divide in half. Using your fingertips, lightly press and knead into balls. Flatten into discs, wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days. Let stand at room temperature until malleable but not soft.
2. To make the filling: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the honey to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Be careful, it may foam up. Add the remaining filling ingredients and cook, stirring constantly, for another 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is cool enough to handle but not set. Pour onto a floured surface, divide into 6 equal portions, and shape the portions into 14-inch-long sticks.
3. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or grease.
4. On a piece of waxed paper or plastic wrap or on a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of dough into a 14-by-12-inch rectangle, then cut each rectangle lengthwise into three 14-by-14-inch rectangles. Place a nut strip near a long side of each rectangle and roll up from the filling side. Cut into 2-inch sticks. Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1 inch between the cookies, and brush with the egg wash.
5. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool. Wrap in aluminum foil until ready to serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Oil Pastry: Substitute 1/3 cup vegetable oil for the butter and combine it with the wine.

The Division II football playoffs usually provide the most interesting competition every season when Rhode Island teams begin competing for Super Bowl berths.
D-II holds a big advantage over the other three divisions because it is the state's largest league (16 teams). It invites eight teams to the playoffs instead of the four we find in other divisions. Its quarterfinals are held in the second week of November while the regular season is still going on elsewhere.
This past weekend, four teams advanced out of the D-II quarterfinals. Unbeaten Tolman and once-beaten Woonsocket won their games, as expected, while Chariho and St. Raphael grabbed victories in games that could have been considered toss-ups.
Three of the four semifinalists come from Division II-B: Tolman (7-0), Woonsocket (6-1) and St. Raphael (5-2). Chariho shared the II-A regular season title with a 5-2 record. The Chargers host Woonsocket in the semifinals on Tuesday, Nov. 30, while Tolman will entertain its former Thanksgiving Day rival, St. Raphael, on the same evening.
Here's where it starts to get interesting. Each of the four semifinalists will play a Thanksgiving game five or six days before the playoffs resume. How will the head coaches handle their traditional holiday games? One local assistant coach posted on his Facebook page that "our starters will probably only play the first half." That seems logical. Nobody wants to see a key player hurt before the playoffs begin in a "meaningless" Thanksgiving Day game.
Of course, labeling a Thanksgiving Day game meaningless is almost blasphemy in some of these rivalries.
Let's take a look at each holiday game for the three local D-II playoff teams. Shea High hopes to salvage its season with a victory over Tolman on the night before Thanksgiving. Will Tolman let that happen? There's a lot of bragging rights at stake in this game.
Woonsocket will face Cumberland on Thanksgiving Day, hoping to maintain its winning ways. The Clippers, like Shea, can make their season a success by upsetting the Villa Novans.
And then we have the SRA-Johnston holiday hookup. The Saints edged Johnston 56-50 in a crazy quarterfinal playoff game this past Saturday night. By the quirk of fate, these two schools have become new Thanksgiving Eve dance partners. The Panthers have every reason in the world to want to beat the Saints. Is the feeling reciprocal?
We get into a very gray and murky area for football coaches when discussing the merits of playing to win and going hard for four quarters less than a week before the playoffs resume. What kind of message does a coach send his team by playing it safe? Not a good one, that's for sure.
We can expect each of the three local head coaches facing this situation to say his team is playing to win. What each really wants is to jump on his opponent early and then ease off in the second half. That's not a likely scenario in the SRA-Johnston game. It could happen in the other two contests as Tolman and Woonsocket are solid favorites based on their impressive seasons thus far.
Tolman athletic director John Scanlon has an interesting perspective on his football team's late November schedule. The Shea-Tolman holiday series has been balanced and successful in its short history. But the Thanksgiving Eve hookup could be lost in the hype for the playoff game between Tolman and SRA.
The Tigers and Saints drew an estimated 1,000 fans to their regular season game back in September. Now they will meet in a rematch with a Super Bowl berth at stake.
"This is a playoff game," Scanlon said on Monday. "It's obviously a more important game than the one we played in September. But that game was the first one the two schools had played against each other in 10 years. We had a great crowd for the first game. It was a Friday night and the weather was perfect. For the playoff game, who knows what the weather will be like? This game will be more about football. Two good teams going against each other … I think the real football fans will be there for this game."
Scanlon is probably talking about alumni from both schools when he talks about "real" fans. If a lot of alumni show up, this could be the biggest football crowd for a high school game in Pawtucket in 20 years.
The Tigers and Saints used to draw crowds that numbered in the thousands. They were Thanksgiving Day rivals for 70 years before the partnership was broken off 10 years ago. They resumed playing this year when St. Raphael dropped down from Division I to Division II. The Interscholastic League did everyone a favor by placing SRA in the same sub-division with Tolman. And now the two teams have done their best to maximize the rivalry once again.
"I like what St. Raphael put on the sign outside their gym for the first game," Scanlon said. "It said 'Two great teams, one great city.' "
Scanlon said the city's Parks and Rec Department may move the playoff game over to Shea's Max Read Field. Pariseau Field is the home for both Tolman and SRA but the field gets increasingly chewed up over the course of a long autumn.
"They're talking about it," Scanlon said. "I don't know what they will decide. We could play in McCoy Stadium, too, but I haven't called Mike Tamburro (PawSox President) about it. The players love to play inside the stadium. I'm not sure the fans like it as much. The seats are a little farther from the field than at the other two fields."
If the fans really do come out for this game, there may be too many of them to fit in Max Read Field or Pariseau Field. McCoy might be the best option. (Just my opinion.)

i have one - works great between debian and redhat - it sucked between win2k and a linux box.
Hey guys,
I was wondering if any of you use a KVM switch and if you experience any problems using it. For example I have heard that Wndows sometimes goes nutty with KVM switches with mice working through them. Do Linux users experience such problems, or any for that matter?
Also if you do use one or know of a good one would you please let me know what brand and model.
i have one - works great between debian and redhat - it sucked between win2k and a linux box.
at my school we have one on our servers, novell, win2k, linux, win2k and it works pretty well, cept for mice which dont work at all....
I have a tecktronic 12 port KVM switch. The only time I have the problem with mouse is when I shutdown a system completely and switch to another box. That happen to both Win2K, Red Hat and Debian so I would assume that it's the KVM's problem. If I send the command to shut the system down but immediately switch over to another box, there is no problem.
When you buy a KVM, make sure you have KB and MS emulation built in. When you have that, the KVM will let your OS think that it's still attached to a KB and MS regardless of whether it's physically attached or not so that loosing mouse problem won't happen.
If you do loose the mouse, it's easy to fix in Linux since all I have to do is restart mouse demon or XDM and be done with it. If it's Win2K, then I needed to restart Windows ( : ) just to get mouse working again.
I got a Raritan SwitchMan - works great.
you could also use poor mans KVM, vnc. not perfect but might be able to do the job.
