CWS updated appeal: 2010 Haiti earthquake -- Appeal #6762
Three months after the devastating earthquake in Haiti, CWS continues emergency activities focused on some of the country's most vulnerable citizens. At the same time, in response to evolving needs in Haiti, CWS is expanding its efforts to include the longer-term recovery and development programs that are necessary to truly enable Haiti to build back better.
Expanded Appeal Amount - $4,204,540
Three months after the devastating earthquake in Haiti, CWS continues emergency activities focused on some of the country's most vulnerable citizens. At the same time, in response to evolving needs in Haiti, CWS is expanding its efforts to include the longer-term recovery and development programs that are necessary to truly enable Haiti to build back better.
CWS response
CWS will continue to work with local partners on the following initiatives:
The programs in the appeal have an implementation timeline of 18-24 months, depending on the program.
1. Provide housing solutions to strengthen family life – support for house repair and host families expansion
Initial government plans to relocate huge numbers of families in new cities outside of Port-au-Prince have been frustrated by land ownership issues and costs. In response, CWS will work with Haitian partners and ACT Alliance members to focus on helping families where they are.
1. Permanent house repair. CWS will repair damaged houses that can be made habitable and safe with minor work. This avoids the stress of relocation of displacement.
2. Expansion of host housing. CWS will expand the homes of families hosting displaced family members, to create a permanent livable situation. Adding bedrooms and latrines to meet Sphere standards will promote family unity and prevent conflict.
Prioritized groups will include households with members who are single mothers, disabled, elderly, pregnant women or children under 5 years old. Families living in CWS-supported settlements will also be a priority.
2. Strengthen and expand 13 farmer cooperatives serving more than 3,000 members, and internally displaced people in northwest and Artibonite regions.
Year after year and disaster after disaster, the 13 rural cooperatives supported by CWS and Haitian partner SKDE have been effective in providing long-term food security and self-reliance in the Northwest and Artibonite regions. Today, these cooperatives face the challenge of providing enough food for more than 200,000 people who fled Port-au-Prince.
1. Effective and transparent management of the co-ops' revolving funds and provision of fair credit opportunities to rural women entrepreneurs and farmers to maintain and expand agricultural production.
The total 2-year budget for this program is $450,000.
3. Provide basic services and transitional support to two spontaneous encampments
With partners Servicio Social de Iglesias Dominicanas and Christian Aid, CWS is serving two spontaneous camps of displaced people. These camps, in Fonds Parisien and Ganthier, near the border with Dominican Republic, were without any assistance until these three agencies arrived. Together we provide food, water and shelter materials meeting Sphere standards. In the coming weeks and months, CWS will continue to address these needs, in addition to assisting with leadership formation, community organizing and temporary shelter solutions.
4. Rebuild and expand local capacity to provide direct services and protection to 750 vulnerable children and youth in Port-au-Prince
Longtime CWS partner FOPJ serves some of the most vulnerable Haitian children, including restavek children (domestic servants), former gang members and teenage mothers in the Lasaline and Carrefour Feuilles areas of Port-au-Prince. Its center was severely damaged in the earthquake, leaving the agency homeless, like so many of the children it serves. While FOPJ continues to serve children with emotional recovery and educational activities, it cannot provide the sort of safe place that is needed now more than ever.
1. A new center for FOPJ, either through the purchase and upgrading of an existing building or the construction of a new one ($90,000).
The total budget for this program is $360,000.
5. Support quick livelihood recovery by providing tools and small equipment
Many people with a trade and profession lost their tools and small machinery because of the earthquake. As one woman told a CWS staff member, "I was a hairdresser but without my tools, I am nothing." Through grants averaging about $500, tradesmen and women will be able to purchase the tools and equipment they need to go back to work and be self-sustaining.
1. Provision of small "Quick Livelihood Recovery" grants to 150 families in the neighborhood of Carrefour Feuilles and to 300 people with disabilities in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area.
The total budget for this program is $240,000.
6. Provide direct services to 1,200 people with disabilities and their families in metropolitan Port-au-Prince.
In the chaos of the earthquake, and the ensuing struggle for survival and resources, people with disabilities are some of the most at-risk members of the community. They face greater challenges in adapting to new living conditions, such as tent cities, and have difficulty accessing relief assistance.
1. Case management services to link 1,200 people with disabilities and their families with available services.
The total budget for this program that is part of the overall ACT Alliance response is $1,228,000.
7. Providing material support to people in disaster
CWS has delivered hygiene, school and baby kits to more than 20,000 earthquake survivors, the majority of them people living in tent camps. CWS will continue to provide material support, as needed, to ensure that families have the basic items they need to live with dignity.
8. Management and operation of a Santo Domingo - Port-au-Prince humanitarian corridor in support of ACT Alliance operations in Haiti
Through Dominican Republic-based SSID, CWS is ensuring that the humanitarian corridor from Dominican Republic to Haiti remains a lifeline. With no functioning port in Haiti, humanitarian aid from CWS, ACT Alliance members, and others is being sent through the Dominican Republic. Getting items across the border, clearing customs, and ensuring proper transportation in both countries is a major, and essential, undertaking. In addition, SSID provides transportation of ACT Alliance staff member between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, where ACT members go for purchasing and other essential services.
9. Other components
CWS Staff Deployment Costs for 12 months - $72,000

He shows the flashes of being something more than a mid-back rotation starter. He actually won more games than he lost last year at a time when the team was awful. That is where the bulldog mentality comes from, somehow he won when others lost. Plus he went out and tried to perform with an injury, hard to criticize that.
You have to be encouraged by the progress in BB/K ratio.

If you don't consider those results, for a NL team that had a pretty good defense, to be failing then we have a difference of opinion about the definition of the word. By mid 2011 he was in their bullpen. For a starter that qualifies as failing.

Ertapenem is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. This medication is known as a carbapenem-type antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.
This medication is given by injection into a muscle or vein, usually once daily or as directed by your doctor. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.
If this medication is being given by injection into a muscle, follow the manufacturer's directions for mixing with lidocaine 1 percent solution. Do not use this solution for injection into a vein.
If you are giving this medication to yourself at home, learn all preparation and usage instructions from your health care professional. Before using, check this product visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid. Learn how to store and discard medical supplies safely.
Antibiotics work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. Therefore, use this drug at evenly spaced intervals.
Continue to use this medication until the full prescribed treatment period is finished, even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may allow bacteria to continue to grow, which may result in a return of the infection.
Tell your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.
Swelling, redness, pain, or soreness at the injection site may occur. This medication may also infrequently cause upset stomach, headache, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Get medical help right away if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur: seizures, unusual weakness.
This medication may rarely cause a severe intestinal condition (Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea) due to a type of resistant bacteria. This condition may occur weeks to months after treatment has stopped. Do not use anti-diarrhea products or narcotic pain medications if you have any of these symptoms because these products may make them worse. Tell your doctor immediately if you develop: persistent diarrhea, abdominal or stomach pain/cramping, blood/mucus in your stool.
Use of this medication for prolonged or repeated periods may result in oral thrush or a new vaginal yeast infection. Contact your doctor if you notice white patches in your mouth, a change in vaginal discharge, vaginal irritation/itching, or other new symptoms.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
Before using ertapenem, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to penicillins or cephalosporins; or if you have any other allergies. Before receiving this medication by injection into a muscle, also tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to any amide-type local anesthetics (e.g., lidocaine). This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: brain disorders (e.g., seizures, head injury, tumor), kidney disease, stomach/intestinal diseases (e.g., colitis).
Kidney function declines as you grow older. This medication is removed by the kidneys. Therefore, elderly people may be at greater risk for side effects while using this drug.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant before using this medication.
This medication passes into breast milk. Though there have been no reports of harm to nursing infants, consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.
Some products that may interact with this drug include: live bacterial vaccines, other antibiotics, divalproate/valproic acid.
Although most antibiotics probably do not affect hormonal birth control such as pills, patch, or ring, some antibiotics may decrease their effectiveness. This could cause pregnancy. Examples include rifamycins such as rifampin or rifabutin. Be sure to ask your doctor or pharmacist if you should use additional reliable birth control methods while using this antibiotic.
If overdose is suspected, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center.
Laboratory and/or medical tests (e.g., complete blood count, kidney/liver function tests) may be performed periodically to monitor your progress or check for side effects. Consult your doctor for more details.
For the best possible benefit, it is important to receive each scheduled dose of this medication as directed. If you miss a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately to establish a new dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Consult the package instructions or your pharmacist for other storage details. Keep all medicines away from children and pets.

A completely renovated loft in the heart of Frankfurt, The Pure captures the city's cosmopolitan spirit. Here, amidst light-colored materials such as white leather, Thassos marble, and light gray floors, guests relax in a welcoming, family atmosphere. The harmonious public space with lobby, bar, and more, reinterprets the feeling of hominess, a concept that is emphasized by the work of artist Stefan Strumbel, who explores what 'home' means to different people. Lighting and music add ambience that changes throughout the day—soft illumination and tunes in the morning give way to an oasis full of energy with vibrant orange visual effects by night. Outfitted with oversize Fatboy beanbags, fountains, and bamboo, The Pure's patio effortlessly extends the communal space, while guestrooms offer clean-lined furnishings, light fabrics, and high ceilings, which are warmed by glossy African zebrawood and oak parquet. The result is, of course, Pure style.
A Pure Eye
The choice to use exclusively light colors and materials at The Pure allows the building and its structures to recede into the background, and directs the focus to the energy and activity within the space. Lighting and music are skillfully implemented to enhance the experience. The Pure Patio, meanwhile, is an extension of this communicative space. Its Timbertech decking is outfitted with stairs designed for comfortable sitting rather than climbing, while the lobby, the breakfast room, the bar, and the lounge form a harmonic open space fittingly known as the 'Living Room'.
Home Beautiful
The idea of space without borders and a sense of openness are emphasized by clean-lined furnishings, light fabrics, and high ceilings. If this is not one's idea of home, it soon becomes so during one's stay, where the notion of hominess quickly evolves.
Micky Rosen & Alex Urseanu
For well over a decade, Micky Rosen and Alex Urseanu have set an aesthetic and entrepreneurial benchmark in their native Frankfurt, a city driven by finance and tradition. As pioneers in their hometown's hospitality scene and partners since the early 2000s, they are known for transforming underused spaces into irresistible hotspots. A trained hotelier, Micky Rosen is also an astute gastronome and was voted one of the Influential People of the Year by Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in 2006 and 2007. Prior to founding Gekko Management with Rosen, Alex Urseanu held positions at the Steigenberger Airport Hotel and Kempinski Gravenbruch in the Frankfurt area, as well as Sheraton in Tel Aviv.
The Pure Address
Niddastrasse, 86, Bahnhofsviertel

Although named after the former city gallows, the Gallus district is actually rather welcoming. The area's regeneration makes for an array of upmarket restaurants and plenty of spots to grab a drink.

Handmade for vintage tone.
The brightest sounding ceramic guitar slide on the market today. Designed for non-electric applications, this slide is for the acoustic player seeking a more traditional feel. This shorty slide was created for Bill Morganfield who usually uses a knuckle slide. Great in standard tuning, it offers more string coverage than a traditional knuckle slide that only covers one or two strings. With the Salidan, you can cover up to four strings.
Light and responsive, the Salidan (Sal-Eye-Den) was designed to "float" on the finger, for quick pickup and quick release. Among the warmest of the Rocky Mountain Slide Company slides. Itill growl when you want it to, or a whisper like a cool breeze.
A beautiful little slide that gets that 'bottle' sound and feel. Order today!

Comments about Rocky Mountain Slides Ceramic Salidan Guitar Slide:
I have many slides, but all of them seem to have some deficiency. First, this one fits perfectly. I use my ring finger, so it needs to be big but not too big. This one is long enough to cover all strings simultaneously, which fits the style I play. Most importantly, this slide is thick enough to create good sustain, but that doesn't make it so heavy as to be unwieldy (like my brass slide). I don't go for the hollow, slightly deader sound of thinner slides, I like full on sustain, and this gives it to me. It's not as bright as metal slides are, but ceramic still gives a nice sound. All in all, I totally LOVE this slide.

Mirush (Blodsband)
As Marius Holst's family drama Mirush commences, the young Slavic man of the title decides to find and rebuild a relationship with his long-estranged father. Mirush makes a grueling transcontinental journey from Kosovo, Serbia to Oslo, Norway, where the old man runs a restaurant. Father and son do indeed become reacquainted with each other, but as this occurs, Mirush realizes some deeply upsetting and disturbing truths about his dad - including the considerable debt he bears to the Albanian mafia and several pivotal character flaws. As Holst traces the contours of their relationship, he uses it to explore themes of familial estrangement and absenteeism, the indelibility of paternal legacies and the difficulty of making a clean break from one's past, no matter how tortured and dysfunctional.~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

The Toon Treasury of Classic Children's Comicsby Art Spiegelman and Francoise Mouly
Staff Pick
This is one of my favorite books of the year! It is bursting with over 300 pages of full-color goofy, silly, weird, and wacky comic strips for kids, from the 1930s through the 1960s. Rediscover Pogo, Uncle Wiggly, Donald Duck, Dennis the Menace, and Little Lulu, among many others. The Toon Treasury is perfect for kids who are just discovering comic books and also a great gift for grown-up comic-book fans who want to revisit their childhood.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The Toon Treasury of Classic Children's Comics is an unprecedented collection of the greatest comics for children, artfully compiled by two of the best-known creators in publishing and the field of comics — Art Spiegelman and Francoise Mouly.
This treasury created for young readers focuses on comic books, not strips, and contains humorous stories that range from a single-page to eight or even 22 pages, each complete and self-contained. The comics have been culled from the Golden Age of comic books, roughly the 1940s through the early 1960s, and feature the best examples of works by such renowned artists and writers as Carl Barks, John Stanley, Sheldon Mayer, Walt Kelly, Basil Wolverton, and George Carlson, among many, many others.
Organizing the book into five categories ("Hey, Kids"; "Funny Animals"; "Fantasyland"; "Story Time"; and "Wacky & Weird"), Spiegelman and Mouly use their expertise in the area of comics to frame each category with an introductory essay, and provide brief biographies of the artists. The Toon Treasury of Classic Children's Comics is essential reading for kids of all ages.
"Spiegelman and Mouly reinvented comics as pop art in their classic anthology RAW. This time out, they're reclaiming comics as a medium of far gentler thrills in a bountiful collection of story gems from a more whimsical era of graphic storytelling. Cartoonists little known to nonscholars are standouts: Sheldon Mayer's Sugar and Spike — toddler pals who speak their own language, much to the consternation of grownups — are a delight with their sweet hijinks. Andre LeBlanc's oddball 'Intellectual Amos' marries lush artwork to a bald boy who mysteriously soliloquizes about science to his silent imp companion. Dick Briefer's Frankenstein is a gentle freak who longs to play the tuba. But the genius triumvirate of John Stanley, Carl Barks and Walt Kelly dominates — the first two with their wry fables of greed, revenge and childhood hubris. Kelly is simply one of the most endearing cartoonists of all time — every line he draws or character he creates exudes charm. Adults and comics fans will pore over this revelatory treasury for the stunning art; kids will simply pore over it, immersed in worlds of fantasy that are worth visiting again and again. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"The oversize format and 350 pages make for a delightful reading experience....Spiegelman and Mouly picked stories that are smart, funny, and warm." Boing Boing

There are many reasons to purchase an unlocked iPhone 4, not the least of which is the newest feature: Retina Display. Hold up an iPhone 4 to any other iPhone and you will see a marked improvement in the quality of the screen. In fact, the pixels themselves on the iPhone 4 cannot be seen by the naked eye; that is how superior the Retina Display is. Hence, the sleek and crisp imagines on the iPhone 4 no matter what you are viewing.
Normally used in t.v. and computer monitors, this is the first time that such technology has been used in phones. It's pretty amazing that the developers of the iPhone 4 were able to cram 400% more pixels (which are now only 78 micrometers in length) into the screen without having to enlarge the screen itself. That means you are receiving a much sharper image due to the almost 330 pixels per inch on the iPhone 4. You will get crisp, realistic pictures because of the Retina Display.
Amazing Videos and Movies at Your Fingertips
Watching the videos and movies you have downloaded will be a whole new experience thanks to the Retina Display and the apps like Netflix. You will not lose any of the beauty of the images regardless of the angle because iPhone 4 has the in-plane switching ability and 8 bit color (as opposed to the normal 6 bit color technology). iPhone 4 is superior to its predecessors because the Retina Display contains a contrast ratio that is four times better.
Another advancement that Apple can boast about is the fact that the same material that is used in trains and helicopters is used for the iPhone 4 unlocked screen. This means that you will receive better scratch protection and a longer life from your screen than any other model phone you've ever owned. As an added protection, the screen is coated with a special material that doesn't attract oils and therefore finger smudges and keeps it cleaner than ever.
You are definitely getting a vastly improved viewing experience with the incredible Retina Display on the iPhone 4. Now, no matter what is on the screen, whether it's a movie, someone's blog or a digital photo, you will get a vivid and clear screen to view it upon as if it were a high end television or PC monitor. The Retina Display technology makes owning the iPhone 4 nearly irresistible. In plane switching (or IPS) technology and Retina Display in and of themselves make purchasing the iPhone 4 worth every penny.

I'm looking through the vBulletin updated features and wondered whether anyone is interested in activating some of them:
Please follow this link for a full list of vBulletin v3.6 improvements. It is a very long thread with lots of graphics. As always comments are welcome.

- Infraction Levels: After infractions of forum rules, moderators can assign penalty points to users. After passing successive thresholds, further permissions can be revoked.Each infraction level has an expiration time. When the infraction expires, the associated points are removed from the user's point total and the user's infraction groups are recalculated. The forums are largely self policing, so this may not be necessary. It's tempting for use with spammers as a threshold could be set at which users automatically become "banned". A simple "1" point infraction could cause people to become banned by moderators.

Press Release
February 26, 2013
Phoenix High School Students Produce Harlem Shake video as a fun way to promote their school's planned expansion.
The Harlem Shake is a current internet dance meme that is spreading across the world. Phoenix Students thought it would be a fun way to showcase what their school is all about and get the attention of prospective students. Producing the video required students to step outside their comfort zone and try something completely different from the typical day at a traditional high school. They cooperated to turn the school into a set, plan costumes, choreograph and direct the 30 second dance video, and produce it. What looks like a few seconds of sheer chaos actually required careful planning, coordination, and patience to get right and it was an opportunity for students and their advisors to learn and have fun together.
Phoenix is a Small, project-based high school that is a part of the Kennewick School District. Students at Phoenix earn high school credit by proving that they have met Washington State Learning Requirements through self-chosen projects. Next year they are moving to a new campus across from the District Office on 4th street and they will be adding new staff and expanded opportunities for student enrollment. Students in 9th-12th grade who are interested in hands-on projects at small, family-like learning community can apply at Phoenix High School at 418 S. Vancouver Street, or call (509) 222-7400.
For a copy of Phoenix High's Harlem Shake video and more information, contact Sarah Ard at (509) 222-7400.

I need help... Re: Corre Dolls
Do any of you know anything about Corre' Dolls? I found these gorgeous little women in 1985 at Virginia's gift shop at Knotts Berry Farm.
I have a letter here from the artist, Jamalea Corre' where she referres to these as "Original Heirloom Figurines"
FRom my exposure to these "little ladies" (her term) and from reading the letter, there MUST be a collectors group out there somewhere.
All her dolls were made by hand, in either a 'frontier' or 'victorian' style of dress. The outfits are all cloth and the hair, I think, is real human hair............... then the entire piece was coated in a ''secret recepie' porceline "slip" which, if one were rude enough to touch, would feel like a heavy startch.
The detail is unbelievable and I was told that she had no apprentices..... every doll that she made was made by her alone. Her letter says she could only turn out 200 dolls a year. The cost an arm and a bustle in 1985, but I managed to latch on to two... Rebecca and Amanda.
It breaks my heart, but I 1. never was able to add to my collection and 2. due to my spouse having a serious decline due to kidney failure, I am selling off most of my dearest pieces. I am also a DisneyLAND collector, and many of those piece are already gone.
But I would like to find out how one would locate collectors of these, before I have to resort to "shooting blind" on eBay.
Could you help me please?

I would highly recommend checking out Best of Antiques, Vintage, Collecting | Collectors Weekly, which is a website that appeals to collectors of all sorts. Go to their area on dolls at Antique and Collectible Dolls - Collector Information | Collectors Weekly and post her on the show and tell feature, and ask for opinions and interest. Hopefully that doll community can give you the information and buyer you seek. Best of luck.

The Gamma World Game Day material arrived at my house today - YAY!
The game day instructions state that all players must buy two booster packs and and all DMs must buy the entire game. Is it just me, or is this a lot to ask of people for a game demo? After reading through the game day adventure, Trouble in Freesboro, I believe the DMs at the store may be able to share a single copy of the game. (Since I am a Gamma World fan-boy from way-back, I have already bought the game and I'm willing to share.) Now I'm worried about the players' requirements. From my calculations, each player really only needs 5 Alpha Mutation cards plus one or two additional Alpha Mutation cards to handle Alpha Flux. If all discarded cards are added back into the deck (after the draw), the deck of 40 Alpha Mutation cards in the box set should be able to support roughly 13 players (two tables). (When cards are discarded, they should probably be taken to the other table so no repeats.) Any thoughts about these calculations or issues with the game day adventure? (Please remember to hide any spoiler info.)
Excited to try the new Gamma World,

The 6 result on the Beta Chamber table states that "The creature regains hit points as if it had spent a healing surge." Gamma World does not have healing surges. I recommend that the result heals as Second Wind (i.e., bloodied value in hit points).

Anyone Delt With This Vendor?? UPDATED
I've ordered some cloth cover wire and a cloth covered wiring harness from "Hummeremporium". I have gotten no response from them with questions or about the status of my order. Has anyone here ever done business with them. I know I should have asked this before buying stuff but that's Monday morning quarterbacking now.

JAY-Essex coach Bill O'Neil has seen a lot of things in his forty-plus year career as a coach, so while it was not a surprise when his Hornets overcame a two goal third period deficit to defeat North Country 3-2, it was pretty touch and go for his charges on Saturday night.
"I thought they gave us a hard time for two and three-quarter periods and we just got the bounces," said O'Neil. "The league is like that this year. Anybody can beat anybody on any given night, and we knew coming in that it was going to be a battle."
NEWPORT–A strong inside presence and the ability to force turn-overs helped the Burlington Seahorses take down the North Country Falcons on Thursday night.
Despite the loss, NCU coach Brian Bonvechio saw some really positive things from his players.
"I am really happy with the intensity were are playing with on defense. We are really hustling, and I saw some great minutes from Jesse Breault and Chris LePage.
SO. BURLINGTON– The Falcons rallied to make it 5-4 with three minutes to go in the third period, but the Rebels were able to add an insurance goal with 2:20 left to play sealing the 6-4 win in the highly anticipated rematch between South Burlington and North Country on Wednesday night.
"It was a hard fought come from behind loss," said NCU coach Andrew Roy.
The Falcons were playing without defenseman Logan Fortier, who is on a school trip.
Thankfully Brody Jacobs has returned to the line-up, allowing a three man rotation, something NCU is more than used to.
North Country's boys hockey team got to within one with 3 minutes left in the third period, but the Rebels were able to add the insurance goal 40 seconds later to thwart NCU's effort at a comeback as the Falcons fell short in their rematch 6-4.
Details in Friday's Express on 2-8-13.
NCU got goals from Jenna Moss and Emily Doty in their win over Stowe. The win moves the team to 12-3-1 while Stowe falls 4-9. Next up for the Falcons is a visit from U-32 on Saturday at 5:00 in Jay.
NEWPORT–The North Country girl's basketball team trailed by just two points at the half to the Essex Hornets, but the visitors were able to pull away in the third quarter to defeat the Falcons 53-34 on Tuesday evening.
"I think we want to leave remembering how we played in that first half," said NCU coach Christiane Brown. "We came out playing very strong, we were disciplined, but we still need to work on getting back defensively to limit those easy buckets."
Even with limited minutes in the second half, Desiree Coffin still led 4-8 North Country in scoring with 12 points.
ORLEANS-A big third period laid the groundwork for the Hazen Wildcats 67-60 victory over the previously undefeated Lake Region Rangers Tuesday night. The Rangers had run off 14 wins in a row, including a nine point triumph against these same Wildcats in Hardwick three weeks ago.
Hazen was paced by Dimitri Vasiliadis with 21 combined with 12 rebounds. Adam Celley, Hazen's other 6'3 forward, had 14 and 10 boards as their one–two punch gave the Rangers front court fits.
Drew Gallup had 15 in a strong effort with eleven boards and three blocks while running mate Caleb Prue finished with 14.
The North Country basketball girls played a very strong first half, but Essex managed to up their game in the second to win 53-34.
In Orleans, the Rangers tasted defeat for the first time this season, losing to Hazen 67-60.
Story in Thursday's Express on 2-7-13.
As I was watching all of the commercials during this year's Super Bowl, I was thinking there were not that many that completely wowed me. But there were a few that stood out this year, not necessarily because they were really funny, but because they were well put together and delivered a great message.
I sat with a notebook in hand, viewing every single ad, and here is my take on the 2013 commercial spots.
First let's look at the ones that would fall into the serious, think-piece category.
NEWPORT–After going almost two long months since their last win, the North Country boys basketball team rallied from an eleven point first quarter deficit to defeat the Colchester Lakers 57-52 on Thursday evening.
"This feels great and it has been a long time coming," said NCU coach Brian Bonvechio. "We played these guys to a two point game at Colchester and we thought that we could play with them tonight and we did. We played tough defense and got some great performances out of these young men."

Transport Nan
As a relatively remote province, Nan is best reached via private car or public bus. However, it is possible to take a train or plane to nearby Phrae or Chiang Rai and then a bus to Nan. Once in Nan, it may be easier to get around with your own car, but there are standard forms of local transport available for visitors: i.e. songtaews, motorbike taxis, samlors, and tuk tuks.
There is no train service directly to Nan, but as the bus alone is such a long ride a combination train, bus journey might be more enjoyable. From Bangkok's Samsen station take a train to Denchai station, the only station in Phrae, the province that borders Nan to the south. Leaving Bangkok around 9 pm, the train arrives at Denchai around 6 or 7 the following morning. From the train station in Denchai a blue songtaew goes to Phrae from where red buses leave fairly regularly for Nan, a 1 ½ hour ride that costs about 40-50 Baht.
From Bangkok, take Highway No. 32 to Nakhon Sawan, Highway No. 117 to Phitsanulok, Highway No. 11 to Amphoe Den Chai, and then Highway No. 101 to Nan via Phrae, a total distance of 668 kilometers.
If you have rented a car in Chiang Mai the faster is from Phrae, though the more scenic route goes towards Phayao and then descends into Nan. As roads in the far north are hilly and many are unsealed (off the main roads) it may be preferable to rent a 4x4 if you plan to do any serious exploring on your own. Be aware that only Commercial First Class Insurance provides full coverage on rental cars (as opposed to limited personal or third party only insurance). Most international car rental agencies will offer this insurance (some only for those with a valid international driver's license) while local companies may or may not. You may wish to request a copy of their insurance policy and ensure that it states "For Commercial Use". Regardless, inspect rental vehicles prior to rental and drive with caution, particularly as traffic in Thailand can be quite confusing, especially the habit of Thai motorcycles drivers to drive on the wrong side of the road.
Transport Co. Ltd. operates bus services from Bangkok's Northern Bus Terminal (Mo Chit 2) to Nan every day. Overnight VIP buses are very comfortable with much leg room and the trip takes about 10 hours to complete. There are also regular busses from Chiang Rai to Nan. Call 0 2936 2852-66 or visit www.transport.co.th for more information. Other private companies include Phrae Tour (Tel: 0 2245 2369), Sombat Tour (Tel: 0 2936 2495-6), and Choetchai Tour (Tel: 0 5471 0362 (Nan Office)).
Nok Mini (nokairlines) offers flight from Bangkok (Don Muang Airport) to Nan 3 flights a day and sevens day a week , more information please visit www.nokair.com
You can also travel from Chiangmai to Nan by Kan airlines, more information please visit www.kanairlines.com
As in most rural Thai provinces there are typically songtaews that follow established routes around the provincial capital and local busses and songtaews for trips between towns within the province. Songtaews, motorbike taxis, and samlors (three wheeled pedal powered cabs) are usually available for private charter as well.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate
Liberal or conservative. Left and right winger. Progressive or status quo. People like labels. They like to place them, they like to give them and the like to be able to have a nice orderly world where everyone fits into a category.
While it's true some people, particularly various public figures, can be placed into these kinds of categories, and most of them like being in those places, the average person often doesn't even realize what genre he or she belongs in, largely because of his or her own surroundings. It seems what you grow up with is what you believe in until your world gets turned upside down.
Take Utah for example. When I was younger I believed a liberal in Utah was someone who drank coffee and didn't belong to the predominant religion. Later in life I learned there was a little more to it than that. But, as simplistic and certainly untrue as that belief was, I still see people categorize others based on a couple of assumptions they draw from barely knowing someone.
I remember one time when I was in a meeting with the personnel manager of a large organization I worked for as a department supervisor. I said something about workers rights. The personnel manager, who had worked closely with me and known me for many years said, "You're really a liberal aren't you?" like it was unbelievable anyone with a social concious could be anything but. I just told him I was who I was and that labels were often inadequate to describe people.
I think the way a person sees the world certainly goes through many stages as their life progresses. When you are young you listen to your parents and often have the same views on the world they do. My father was a died-in-the-elephant-hide Republican and I remember how crushed I was when John F. Kennedy was elected president, because of my dads disappointment. At eight years old, I couldn't imagine feeling any different from my father about many things.
But people change and by the time I was 19 I was heavily involved in supporting George McGovern for president, who was running against the man my father so strongly backed in 1960, Richard Nixon.
In my early thirties, while still considering myself leaning on the left side of things, I found myself becoming one of those "Reagan Democrats." Yes the great communicator had swayed my vote to his side, because I felt the Democratic party had abandoned it's roots.
It was also during this time that I began to change my views on the world quite significantly. It's funny how adulthood and responsibilities finally wear down the idealism of youth, when all things are possible, regardless of political views or realities. I found my reaction to political movements and issues became family and business centered rather than ideologically or ideally based.
My youngest sister and I still have some pretty heavy discussions about politics sometimes; she having been on the right side of things for many years and me on the left. But either I have mellowed or she has, because we find ourselves agreeing more and more about issues that once set us on fire with each other. I always did recognize she was a compassionate conservative long before the term was popularized.
In many ways Utahn's have much more in common with their in state political rivals than they do with their own national party leaders. After many years of traveling in business and living in places other than Utah, I learned that Utah Republicans and Utah Democrats are a different breed from their national counterparts. Beehive state Democrats, with a few notable exceptions, are somewhat like the old conservative Democrats that dominated the south many years ago. They believe strongly in state and individual rights. Utah Republicans are, with a few exceptions, for the small businessman and do care a great deal about their fellow man. As for the religion factor, it is there, but to be honest, some of the best and strongest Democrats I have known in my life were also very good Latter Day Saints. And some of the most intelligent, make sense Republicans I have ever met were not.
Let's face it the political landscape is changing all the time, and so are we.
And so much for national political labels when it comes to inter-Utah politics..

ELLICOTT, NY - A teacher's aide has been charged with Endangering the Welfare of a Child after she allegedly sprayed a student in the face with a cleaning solution.
The Ellicott Police Department says Terry L. Kemp, 50, of Jamestown is a teacher's aide with Southwestern Elementary School.
Kemp was cleaning tables in the school's cafeteria Tuesday when the incident happened.
At some point, it is alleged that Kemp sprayed a 5-year-old boy in the face with a cleaning solution. The solution got into the boy's eyes.
The student was checked out by the school nurse and was said to be okay.
Kemp was released with an appearance ticket and is to be in Ellicott Court at a later date.

Did you see Wild Hogs? Yeah, me neither. To be fair, it was a movie for men and women aged 40 plus. Hell Ride is basically the same movie. Except that there is LOTS of nudity and violence. And everybody dies. Ok, maybe that's a bad comparison.
We all know that one of the most difficult tasks of men's lives is the process of trying to understand women. It is often mindboggling, able to drive us to fits of rage and utter confusion. But the reality is that they smell REALLY good, and whether we like it or not, we need them.
Episode 2.03, "The Benefactor" starts off on a comedian doing a commercial for Utz potato chips and comparing a fat woman who has walked onto the set to the Hindenburg. Meanwhile, Betty Draper is riding horses at the stables, ogling one of the male riders with her friend.
Episode: "A Burning Dog"
Full disclosure: I have never smoked weed in my 26 years of life. That said, I was a little worried there would be some weed-oriented nuance in Pineapple Express I wouldn't get. Then I remembered that potheads think Scooby Doo is hilarious and my fears went away.
Crave Online had some shots of Sukiyaki Western Django up today. As we haven't done anything on the movie yet, I thought this would be a good time for a little background for inquiring Junkies.
RUGBY! A sport for men. Australian Men. Comming Soon…
At the top of the first episode "Raise The Roof" Ludacris and Tommy Lee have yet to be united. They are both sent on mysterious tasks to discover their mission…a mission of utmost importance.
This year's crop of comics for LCS was easily one of the best, but America (and the show's producers) narrowed the field down to five for the hour-and-a-half long finale. I think they were all solid choices, but the actual final show itself could've used a little more, you know, comedy. The opening:
There are a lot of reality shows out there, but this one actually makes a little sense. Contestants from all across the globe bring their stand-up chops in front of judges from other NBC properties and then, in the grand tradition, America votes. The comics tend to be pretty funny, but they sprinkle in a bunch of wacky gimmick acts, I feel like they could do without.
I've been holding off posting about the casting news for Quintin Tarantino's 2009 WWII epic for a couple of days because no one could actually get the story straight. But now it seems like the dust has settled a little and a few actors are left holding machine guns.
When Roger Corman's Death Race 2000 came out in 1975 it spooked a lot of people. If you haven't seen it, it's about a race in the future (now the past) where the contestants got points for running down pedestrians. The tagline was "In The Year 2000 Hit And Run Driving Is No Longer A Felony.
By now we all know that Heather Ledger did the best thing any human being has ever done in the history of the world when he played the Joker. (Just because he was really good doesn't mean I can't be a sarcastic jerk about it). But these concept images that were used before the movie started shooting look even creepier than the actual Joker.
Quentin Tarantino has been working on the script for his World War II movie since way back in 2001. It's finally, apparently, ready for mass consumption, which could really mean anything when it comes to that crazy man. There are differing accounts as to what the story is actually about, but there's a good chance it's going to be show like a western and focus around some very burly men (QT not-included in the "burly" part) making their way through WWII. If nothing else, there will no doubt be a lot of swearing and violence. Score. Studio: The Weinstein Company Rating: TBA Release Date: 2009 TBA

Episode: Mexico Anthony Bourdain said that he thinks vegans are "rude," which leads me to believe that he would get along just fine with Bear Gryll who is willing to eat just about anything. For the season five premiere, he dropped himself in the middle of the Mexican desert where, apparently, they don't have In 'N Out.
Bear Grylls is the kind of guy that makes the rest of us slobs look bad. He's climbed Mt. Everest and knows enough survival techniques to make MacGuyver look like a cut-rate Eagle Scout. Every week he drops himself into an intense situation and does all kinds of gross crap to get through it. Don't watch it with your girlfriend unless you want her to know how much of a wimp you are.
this is a test of test
More to come.
First look pictures of the upcoming adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road were just released.This is by far one of the creepiest books I have read in my entire life. You know Cormac McCarthy as the author of No Country For Old Men. Check em out.
As usual, Cisco and Shwayze are late for their appointment—a photo shoot on the beach. Jordan has a heart to heart with Warren about the weekend shows in San Diego.
Put the weird name out of your head for a minute and concentrate on the fact that James Bond is back and, juding by the poster and the trailers, well armed. The story picks up where Casino Royale left off, with 007 kicking the British asses of everyone he can point a gun at.
It's kind of like The Devil Wears Prada, except it's not for complete idiots. Simon Pegg plays a fictionalized version of real-life writer Toby Young who worked his way up through the magazine ranks, getting into hilarious situations along the way.
Episode: "Exploding Steak"
If you're the kind of kid that used to watch Bill Nye, then you've probably already been following these two mad scientists blow crap up since the beginning. Mythbusters is the show that's almost single-handedly responsible for Discovery's line-up full of shows where people explode things and justify it by showing some scientific formula.
After cutting the ol' ball and chain with Madonna, it looks like Guy Ritchie (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch) is ready to deliver what looks to be a fitting addition to the aforementioned classics. The plot invovles a large sum of dirty money thats up for grabs with a laundry list of roughnecked criminals vying for their piece–only the money ends up with a drugged u
Ah Quentin, always making news. Today it was his decision to cast Eli Roth in the forthcoming remake of Inglorious Bastards. We understand: throw your friends some work. But when you have a chance to fix your career (which is not Death Proof) maybe it's best to set the nepotism aside.
When Kevin Smith's new Seth Rogan comedy hit the MPAA, I feel like it probably made the old ladies they use to rate movies spit out their cat food sandwiches all over their clipboards. I can only imagine the amount of cursing and obscenity that little bearded man crammed in there.
Between reading and writing comic books, Kevin Smith found time to make another movie. This one stars Seth Rogan and Elizabeth Banks as a couple out to make a skin flick. If the title, plot and early controversy are any indication, it should be awesome, as long as you don't have to go see it with your parents. That could get….awkward.Studio: The Weinstein Company

ORONO - The University of Maine women's basketball team (2-18, 1-6 America East) held visiting Stony Brook (11-9, 3-4 AE) to 15 first half points en route to picking up its first conference win of the season as Maine downed the Seawolves 67-51 on Saturday afternoon.
The Black Bears had four scorers total double-figures as Liz Wood (Catlett, Va.) tallied 12 points and nine rebounds to go along with five assists and four steals while Danielle Walczak (Lee, N.H.) added a double-double on 12 points and 10 boards.
Ashleigh Roberts (Wilmington, Del.) poured in 14 points including going 8-for-8 from the free throw line to seal the win. Corinne Wellington (Rochester, N.Y.) added 12 points and nine rebounds while the Black Bears shot 42.6% from the field and pulled down 45 rebounds to the Seawolves' 31.
Maine jumped out to an 11-point lead with 9:15 left in the first half after completing a four-minute 11-0 run. Wood started the run with a layup before back-to-back buckets from Roberts gave Maine a three-point advantage. Maine continued the run as Walczak forced a steal which ended in a layup by Wood. Maine's defense kept the pressure on as a Roberts steal set up the offense before Wood worked her way inside for another bucket. Roberts' jumper in the paint ended the run to give Maine an early 16-5 lead.
The Black Bears kept the first half pressure on as a three from Courtney Anderson (Greene, Maine) with 2:36 remaining in the opening half gave Maine a 16-point lead. Stony Brook would cut the lead to 14 at the half, 29-15.
Wood paced the first half Maine attack with 10 points and six rebounds as the Black Bears held Stony Brook to just 6-for-20 from the field and 15 first half points.
After the Seawolves cut the lead to 12 with 16:43 to play in the half, Maine responded with another 11-0 run to give it its biggest lead of the game at 42-19. Sophie Weckström (Espoo, Finland) jump started the Maine run by knocking down a three before a steal from Wood and quick outlet ended in a fastbreak layup for Weckström. After a pair of free throws from Wood, Wellington found a wide open Anderson for a jumper to put Maine up 21. A pair of Walczak free throws ended the Maine run to build a commanding 23-point cushion with 11:27 to play.
After cutting the Maine lead to 17 with 3:34 to go, Stony Brook went on an 8-0 run to chop the Maine lead all the way down to single digits, 57-48, with 2:13 to play. However, the Black Bears went 10-for-10 from the free throw line the rest of the way to seal the deal, picking up its first America East league win by a score of 67-51.
Wood earned Maine's America East Player of the Game nod while Dani Klupenger recorded 14 points with four three-point shots to be named Stony Brook's America East Player of the Game.
Maine jumps right back into action on Tuesday as it travels to meet New Hampshire on Jan. 29 at 7 PM.

Denis O'Hearn's book on Irish Hunger Striker published in new languages.
Nothing but an Unfinished Song, Denis O'Hearn's social biography of the Irish hunger striker Bobby Sands has just been published in Turkish and a Basque edition is coming out in 1915. O'Hearn was in Istanbul publicizing the book, Yarım Kalmış Bir Şarkı: Bobby Sands, IRA ve Açlık Grevi, in December and January, where he attended several public meetings and had a number of interviews and book reviews for Turkish and Kurdish newspapers and TV stations. The Basque edition, to be published by the leading Basque publisher Txalaparta, was translated by Jurgi Garitagoitia and Aitzol Iriondo, two political prisoners in the French-governed region of the Basque Country.
Besides English, previous editions of O'Hearn's work on Bobby Sands have come out in French and Italian, the latter of which won major international awards including the 2011 Alessandro Tassoni Award and the Seventh International City of Cassino Award "Letterature dal Fronte."

Temps are rising as summer approaches but many skiers aren't ready to store their boards yet. Well, you don't have to. Winter is playing an encore, pounding the western states with fresh powder while several resorts in the Rockies and out East are still powering lifts. Many resorts close this Sunday, April 15 but some are offering discounted or even free lift tickets on their last day. Here's a list of late season deals and resorts that plan to stay open even later into the spring.
A 63-year-old ski bum with 34 years' experience sleeping in his VW Beetle at resort bases around the West might not make it onto the slopes this winter. According to the Denver Post, Charlie Toups, "Colorado's ultimate ski bum and a relic of a fading era," has been locked in a Georgetown jail for nearly two months, after unpaid tickets for camping on public lands led to his arrest--while skiing.
Is this the start of a banner year or what? Colorado's Arapahoe Basin opened last week, earlier than it ever has, and Loveland had its earliest season opening in 40 years. Even Las Vegas's local hill opened a full seven weeks ahead of schedule.
Are you ready for ski season? You'd better be: It's here. Boasting its earliest opening day in 40 years, Colorado's Loveland Ski Area opened this morning, becoming the first ski resort in North America to do so for the 2009-10 season. How about skiing at Las Vegas Ski & Snowboard Resort? Bet on it. Less than an hour from the Vegas strip, Las Vegas resort opened beginner terrain this morning, a full seven weeks before its targeted opening day.
Let's say you bought a season pass, but you lost your job before the season even started. Are you screwed? Not if you opted for Vail Resorts' Pass Insurance program. For an extra $20 for adult, teen or senior passes (or $10 for children's passes), you'd be able to recover at least some, if not all, of your investment. Break a leg before the season even starts? Full refund. Get pregnant after opening day? Partial refund. Called up for duty two weeks after opening day? Partial refund.
The race is on, folks. Colorado's Arapahoe Basin, one of the hardcore havens of the high country, turns on its snowguns tonight -- though they've already been blessed with a starter layer this week courtesy of Mother Nature.
Last winter, the disappearance of several pets in Breckenridge, Colo., was blamed on a local pack of coyotes. But this week biologists with the Colorado Division of Wildlife are saying that recent sightings of coyotes down the hill in Frisco -- which sits within short driving distance to Breck, Keystone and Arapahoe Basin -- shouldn't worry locals.
