The victims lost during the Crandall Canyon disaster will be memorialized by six stone monuments and three stone benches placed in a semi-circle near the mine and inscribed with the names of the nine men lost on Aug. 6 and Aug. 16, 2007.
According to a UtahAmerican press release, the Rev. Shawn Clapp of Ferron met with the families on Feb. 28 to finalize the memorial to be developed to honor the fallen miners. The release indicated the memorial will be constructed in accordance with designs selected by the families of the miners.
The project will come under construction as early as weather will permit at a site above the Crandall Canyon mine on company land. The project will consist of a public parking area, 300 feet of walking trail and the large stone memorial itself.
The semi-circle of six stone monuments will include the names of the miners lost on Aug. 6: Don Erickson, Luis Hernandez, Brandon Phillips, Manuel Sanchez, Kerry Allred and Carlos Payan.
The three stone benches will list the names of the rescuers who died Aug. 16: Dale Black, Brandon Kimber and Gary Jensen.
The benches will be located in front of and opposite the six stone monuments.
Joining Clapp at the meeting with the families was David Shaver, project engineer with Utah American.
The press release explained that Shaver used a series of maps and drawings to detail the overall location and details of the memorial to the families, including the parking area access trail and the design of the monuments.
Last Aug. 6, the collapse of sidewalls and the uplifting of the floor at Crandall Canyon mine trapped six underground workers and put Castle Valley on hold as the rescue attempt began.
"Last year, our community showed courage in the face of adversity," said Price Mayor Joe Piccolo in his 2008 state of the city address. "As the tragedy of Aug. 6 unfolded our community banded together."
On the mountain above the mine, two drill holes were initially a number that would grow to more than nine before the ordeal came to an end.
On the edge of their seats the community waited for some proof of life knowing that miners are trained, when trapped to respond to rescuers by banging on metal to create enough sound to be heard.
On Aug. 16th the situation went from horrible to unthinkable as three rescue workers lost their lives while attempting to save their mining brethren.
Following the catastrophic events, Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. formed the Utah Mine Safety Commission. The commission was charged with advising the state government about the avenues to peruse safety precautions for the unique mining conditions in the area.
The mining commission is locally represented by Dmitrich, Piccolo and Huntington Mayor Hillary Gordon.
In there first official report to the governor released on Jan. 23 the commission recommended 45 points of contention.
Chiefly the commission recommended that the state should establish an office of coal mine safety (OMCS) within the Utah Labor Commission with a mandate to maximize coal mine safety, coal mine accident prevention and effective accident response. The state had been involved in mine inspections and regulation until the 1970s and 1980s when the federal government agencies, OSHA and then MSHA took over a lot of those duties. The state legislature then disbanded most of the state oversight of mines because of the federal agency involvement.
The commission further recommended that the state should encourage the University of Utah department of mining and the Western Energy Training Center to collaborate on engineering preparatory programs for both traditional and non-traditional students and on the opportunities for teaching partnerships involving their respective faculties. In addition the two should develop an associate degree program in mining technology and present it to the board of regents for their approval.
While the report brought some concrete conclusions for the governor to examine, the memorial project is hoping to produce an enduring symbol of the miners and the rescuers sacrifice, according to the UtahAmerican release.

Lutron® Radio Powr Savr™ Wireless Occupancy Sensor
Filed under: Electrical, Energy Conservation
"Who forgot to turn off the lights?!!!"
If you find yourself yelling that around the office more than once in a while, then it sounds like you might be ready for an occupancy sensor or two. We all try to conserve energy around the house, but for some reason, we don't think about it as much at work. We're used to having the lights blazing nonstop in our workspaces, but it's just pointless (and not to mention wasteful) to let them run constantly in secondary areas like conference rooms, break rooms, and bathrooms. Yet we never think to hit the light switch when we're the last one to leave the room. Lutron® to the rescue.
Lutron® has developed the Radio Powr Savr™ occupancy sensor, a motion detector that senses when someone enters or leaves a room, and automatically turns the lights on or off accordingly. Unlike some occupancy sensors that mount to a wall and can only sense movement up to 180°, the Radio Powr Savr™ is mounted to the ceiling, and has full-range 360° motion detection. It's also extremely sensitive, so unlike some motion detectors that go and shut the lights off when you're not moving around much (ever ended up in the dark in a public restroom?), it can sense movements as slight as typing on a keyboard, so you'll never have to deal with an unexpected lights-out.
Another plus is that the Radio Powr Savr™ is completely wireless – it syncs with other Lutron® wireless controls, so you never have to wire it to anything. And it even runs on a 10-year battery, so you're free from the hassle of hardwiring it into your building's electrical system.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate Reporter
Today's Carbon High School freshmen will be college graduates by the time the nuclear power plant at Green River begins churning out electricity. And that's if the long, detailed permitting process moves along without a hitch.
Emergency services planners and other local government officials from Carbon and Emery counties got a glimpse of what's involved - and their role in the process - Wednesday morning at a briefing by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The message was not all that complicated: until every city, county and Native American reservation within a 50-mile radius of the plant has a viable emergency response plan for a nuclear accident, it's no-go.
"If there are holes (in the plan) at the state or local level, the licensee can't start up," stated Dan Feighert, manager of the FEMA Region VIII Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program.
What that means for local police, hospitals, clinics and fire departments is at least a year, maybe two, of planning for the worst. Feighert explained that before FEMA signs off on anything, local agencies must have it clearly stated, in writing, that everybody knows who will be responsible for what actions in case of emergency. That includes interlocal memoranda of understanding or letters of agreement on such things as ambulance and fire protection.
Feighert told the audience that there are two key elements in securing an operating license for the plant. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is responsible for reviewing and approving everything inside the plant fence, while FEMA is responsible for everything from the fence to 50 miles out. Both agencies have to be convinced before anything can happen.
From the looks of the FEMA radiological manual, the agency will take a lot of convincing. There are no fewer than 109 detailed evaluation criteria that agency has to examine in each state and local plan.
Green River and part of Grand County will have the most stringent requirements, because they are within a ten-mile radius of the plant. That is where people could be exposed to lethal gamma radiation through their skin or lungs as a plume of escaped gas passes over.
Out to 50 miles, which includes Carbon County and the west side of Emery, there's a potential of fallout radiation entering the water or food supply.
The odds of a major disaster are extremely low, Feighert said. There has not been an accident in the United States since the Three-Mile Island incident 31 years ago. TMI was contained, meaning that radiation did not escape the plant site at dangerous levels. The Chernobyl accident was another story. That reactor was in a metal shed, not a tightly-sealed containment building as US and Western European standards require, he added.
The Green River facility is being spearheaded by Blue Castle Holdings, a Salt Lake-based company that is organizing a consortium of utilities and investors to share in construction and operating costs.
The power plant site is about five miles west-northwest of Green River. Final approval by all federal, state and local agencies would give the go-ahead for a generating facility that would match or exceed the output of all the coal-fired power plants now operating in that county. Plans call for 2,000 to 3,000 megawatts of capacity at the site. That's enough juice to serve 3- to 4 million homes.
The three units at PacifiCorp's Hunter Plant and both units at the Huntington plant are about 400 megawatts each.
Blue Castle Holdings has reported that it has already secured water rights for the plant. The 53,000 acre-feet of water will be leased for up to 70 years from water users who might otherwise have lost their rights through non-use. At the end of the project life, the water will revert back to the owners. Blue Castle is also negotiating with utilities to share in the investment and output of the $12- to $15 billion facility. The utilities could obtain the option to buy into 4 to 7 percent of the plant once the permitting process is done.
At the end of June, BCH announced an arrangement of $30 million in private capital from LeadDog Capital L.P., a New York-based group of investors, for up to three years in early financing of the project.
During its last session, the Utah Legislature included nuclear power in the list of energy development projects eligible for state tax credits. Emery has already zoned the area for industrial development as part of an agreement with the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration.
All the emergency planning that lies ahead - and the purchase of any equipment necessary to fulfill the plans - is the responsibility of the utility seeking the permit, Feighert told the group. For example, if Castleview Hospital is designated to handle radiological emergencies, the utility will have to assure that the hospital gets the necessary equipment and training to handle its mission.
There's also the prospect of an impact on the Green River area - and the 50 mile radius around it - that is far more certain than a radiation leak: jobs. Construction could involve 800 to 1,500 workers for years. Operation would require 400 to 500 highly skilled workers.

- How to Read a Study Record
The study will evaluate the effectiveness of atomoxetine (Strattera) with and without Parent Management Training (PMT) in children with Autism, Asperger's Disorder, or Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (PDDNOS) who have symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This is a double-blind placebo, parallel study where the atomoxetine will have a dose titration over a 6 week period. All children will be seen weekly during this titration period, with additional visits at Week 8 and Week 10. Families assigned to the PMT arm will have an additional weekly meeting with a clinician for a total of 9 PMT visits. PMT involves teaching parents to implement behavioral interventions with their children. Subjects who are clinical responders (ADHD Responders and Compliance Responders) from the 10 week study period will be followed every 4 weeks in a 24-week extension study. Subjects who are clinical nonresponders will continue in PMT if they received PMT during the double-blind phase, and they will receive an open trial of atomoxetine if they were on placebo during the double-blind phase. All subjects (responders and nonresponders) will be invited to participate in follow-up assessments every 4 weeks for 24 weeks after the completion of the double-blind phase.

Designed in cooperation with the Blue Devils percussion staff.
The Evans System Blue tenor head has a 2-ply design with 7mil top-ply and 7.5mil bottom, a combination that delivers tonal clarity and projection while also increasing durability and pitch stability, reducing the need for frequent tuning.
The System Blue series uses Evans' unique Sound Shaping Technology, a damping technique that targets unwanted overtones and provides the control needed to enhance attack, projection, and note definition.
The damping pattern on each head also provides a visual reference for the optimal 'playing zone' for each drum, offering a target for less experienced lines.

A story published Tuesday in the online Daily Beast reassures readers that John Brennan (shown in thumbnail photo and standing second from right in photo about the bin Laden raid), President Obama's choice to replace David Petraeus as CIA director, is not a calloused killer, but a man who "passionately supports civil liberties and wants to fight terrorism within a framework of law." Brennan is so committed to safeguarding the due process rights of those targeted for assassination that many in the White House consider him an "often-moderating influence in the war on terror."
That dove-like description of Brennan's devotion to the rule of law doesn't square with his recent record.
For example, although the Obama administration has kept a tight lid on the details of its "death by drone" program, in April of last year, Brennan admitted for the first time publicly to the extent of the use of drones in America's War on Terror. Brennan said that the remote control killing of suspects on foreign soil who have been charged with no crime whatsoever, is "in full accordance with the law."
Then, without apparent awareness of the macabre irony of the statement, Brennan reminded the world that the United States "respects national sovereignty and international law."
In Daniel Klaidman's article in the Daily Beast, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper is quoted describing Brennan as "a pillar of courage" and one who will insist upon adherence to "American values and the rule of law."
The facts, again, don't support this claim.
Even the Klaidman piece admits that it was Brennan's patronage of the use of drones to track and kill terrorist that convinced President Obama to promote them to the weapon of choice in the War on Terror.
For example, just days after a deadly drone strike in Yemen was reported, Brennan took to the microphone once again to discuss the operation.

Is there anyone we love quite like we love our moms? We don't think so – and whether Mom is a CEO or a science teacher, a homemaker or a baker or even an international celebrity, she is so missed when she's gone. This Mother's Day, we're remembering a few much-loved famous moms. We're sure the children they left behind are thinking about them today.

Charlotte's Web
Drama, Animation, Family
The classic story of loyalty, trust, and sacrifice comes to life in this live-action adaptation. Fern is one of the only two living beings who sees that Wilbur is a special animal as she raises him, the runt of the litter, into a terrific and radiant pig. As Wilbur moves into a new barn, he begins a second profound friendship with the most unlikely of creatures -- a spider named Charlotte -- and their bond inspires the animals around them to come together as a family. When the word gets out that Wilbur's days are numbered, it seems that only a miracle will save his life. A determined Charlotte -- who sees miracles in the ordinary - spins words into her web in an effort to convince the farmer that Wilbur is "some pig" and worth saving.

The SAE Mini Baja Project is an international, collegiate competition that requires students design, build, and race an off-road vehicle. SAE gives specific guidelines that each team must follow in order to compete. Competition results are based on the design, cost, and performance of each vehicle. Teams are entirely student based with the exception of a faculty advisor.
The Baja project expands every team member's understanding of engineering more than any classroom experience can. It gives engineering students the full circle engineering process: design, manufacture, test, and re-design. This real-life experience prepares us for our futures in the engineering field while allowing us to explore our interests.

Hurricane Sandy - Final Update (for now) - October 29, 2012, 9:00 PM
The City is closing its Emergency Operations Center for the night. Police and Fire personnel remain on duty to monitor conditions.
Current forecasts indicate that no severe weather is predicted for the Montpelier area. Wind gusts may pick up around 2 to 3 AM but are not expected to reach extreme levels. Rain and wind are expected to continue through tomorrow. No flooding is expected.
Hurricane Sandy Update - October 29, 2012, 8:00 PM
The Montpelier School Department has closed schools for tomorrow - Tuesday the 30th - as a precautionary measure.
Montpelier is experiencing a much lighter impact from Sandy than originally predicted. Winds are mild and rain is mostly mist thus far. Current predictions from the National Weather Service have downgraded the forecast to about 1 inch of rain overnight (instead of 3 inches) and winds of about 20-25 mph with gusts to 40 instead of 40-45 with gusts to 60.
We continue to monitor conditions but are sending some emergency personnel home.
There are currently no power outages or road closures in Montpelier. The path of the storm appears to have adjusted so that Central Vermont is being largely spared.
Hurricane Sandy Update - October 29th, 11:29 AM
According to the National Weather Service and Vermont Emergency Management, 45-60 mile per hour wind gusts are expected in Central Vermont. Winds of this speed can cause structural damage and power outages, as trees and power poles are knocked down. Localized flooding is also possible where the rain is heaviest. Flooding is possible anywhere, but NWS says the southern half of Vermont is the most susceptible. The forecast can be found at
We are advising people to take the following precautions. First of all, stay home. Driving will be hazardous. Stay away from any power lines that are knocked down, and be very careful if you are near fallen trees. Please secure anything on your property that could be blown away and cause danger for other people, or for drainage. This includes political signs. The city will be removing political signs in our right of way.
Power outages can mean that your furnace and refrigerator won't work. The city water has backup storage and power systems, so we have no reason to believe that anyone on the city water will be without water. If you use an emergency generator, please make sure it is properly vented – they should never be used inside a home or anywhere where the carbon monoxide they exhaust can cause problems – it is an odorless gas that can kill you.
Power outages also mean that you may not have access to electronic communication. We will be making these phone calls and keeping radio stations in our area up to date on emergency communications.
Other tips offered by Vermont Emergency Management include:
Check flashlights and portable radios to ensure that they are working, and you have extra batteries. A battery powered radio is an important source of critical weather and emergency information during a storm.
If your water supply could be affected by a power outage (a well-water pump system), fill your bathtub and spare containers with water. Water in the bathtub should be used for sanitation purposes only, not as drinking water. Pouring a pail of water from the tub directly into the bowl can flush a toilet.
Set your refrigerator and freezer to their coldest settings (remember to reset them back to normal once power is restored). During an outage, do not open the refrigerator or freezer door unnecessarily. Food can stay cold in a full refrigerator for up to 24 hours, and in a well-packed freezer for 48 hours (24 hours if it is half-packed).
If you have medication that requires refrigeration, check with your pharmacist for guidance on proper storage during an extended outage.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines when using a generator. Always use outdoors, away from windows and doors. Carbon Monoxide (CO) fumes are odorless and can quickly accumulate indoors. Never try to power the house wiring by plugging the generator directly into household wiring, a practice known as "backfeeding." This is extremely dangerous and presents an electrocution risk to utility workers and neighbors served by the same utility transformer. It also bypasses some of the built-in household circuit protection devices.
Make sure your Smoke and Carbon Dioxide detectors have fresh batteries and are in working order.
Be extra cautious when you go outside to inspect for damage after a storm. Downed or hanging electrical wires can be hidden by trees or debris, and could be live. Never attempt to touch or move downed lines, and keep children and pets away from them. Do not touch anything power lines are touching, such as tree branches or fences. Always assume a downed line is a live line. Call your utility company to report any outage related problem.
We are not expecting river flooding here, but flash floods and other localized flooding can occur. The tropical rains National Weather Service predicts for our area can come in short, heavy, downpours. We are asking people to check the storm drains in their area and help us keep them clear of leaves and debris.
For more information about the storm, go to Vermont Emergency Management at
, or the city web site at
. You can sign up for e-mail and text alerts on the city web site by clicking on the Blackboard Connect link at the bottom of the home page, and then clicking on Sign Me Up.
Be safe. Keep your children safe. Downed electric lines can be hidden by debris, so please be attentive after the storm.
Hurricane Sandy Preparations
Hurricane Sandy is heading north, and it is very likely that we will be experiencing high winds, heavy rains, and possibly some flooding early next week. Right now, the worst of the storm is projected to go south of us, but we won't know for sure until Sunday or Monday. Here is a list of things you can do to be prepared for it, and to help the city prepare:
Household Preparations
Make sure you and your family are safe first.
Keep extra batteries, flashlights and a battery operated radio on hand just in case you lose power.
Make sure you have enough water, canned goods and non-perishable items that will last at least 3 days.
If you lose power and run a generator, make sure it is always run outside and that exhaust is NOT entering the home. Every home should have a carbon monoxide detector.
Know the emergency evacuation route for your area in case you are evacuated.
Plan ahead and have an evacuation bag ready in case you are evacuated with any medication you need, and other necessities.
Please be careful with auxiliary heating devices - the exhaust can be fatal if they are not designed for indoor use.
Download the
Family Preparedness Workbook
from the city web site.
For more information about emergency preparedness, check the
Vermont Emergency Management web site
Neighborhood/City Preparations
Please take some notice of storm drains in your area. This time of year, leaves can block them. It would help a lot for people to help us make sure they're clear.
Please check in on elder neighbors, or neighbors you have who might have special needs. Power outages can often mean a lack of heat; furnaces often require electricity.
The city personnel can't be everywhere at once, and if we have flooding we will be taking action that prioritizes human health and safety. This means we will not have equipment available for residents or businesses to use for flooded basements, or protecting property. Please take whatever steps you need to prepare for this.
Thanks, Gwen.

MADRID The Madrid-Waddington Central School Board of Education will present voters with a budget next month that carries a 5.2 percent tax levy increase and increases spending by $808,085 over this year.
The total proposed budget for 2013-14 is $14,793,075, a 5.8 percent increase over the 2012-13 budget of $13,984,990.
The proposed tax levy is $3,872,614, a $190,743 increase over the 2012-13 levy of $3,681,871.
The projected fund balance allocation for next years budget is $750,000, leaving a projected unallocated fund balance of $730,000.
Significant increases in health insurance benefits and employee pension contributions explain the budgets overall increase, Superintendent Lynn M. Roy said Wednesday. The total spending increase in both areas equals $411,938.
The budget will eliminate one position. Following the retirement of Randy White after 21 years of service, the position of bus garage head mechanic will be cut.
Staff reductions also were made in the schools buildings and grounds and transportation departments.
No capital projects are in the works.
We are just trying to maintain academic programs and continue the states Race to the Top initiatives of common core curriculum, data-driven instruction and effective teachers and leaders, Mrs. Roy said.
A public hearing is set for 7 p.m. May 14 in the elementary cafeteria. The vote will take place from 1 to 8 p.m. May 21 in the junior-senior high school.

Marshon Brooks was the picture of a frustrated Friar as he stood in the hallway of The Dunk Saturday night. His stat line in a narrow loss to St. John's – 8-of-14 shooting for 20 points – did little to ease his pain.
Most players would gladly take the numbers like the ones Brooks compiled, bolt quickly out of the gym and pray that nothing gets amended before the final sheet is xeroxed. Not Brooks. The senior knows that if Providence has any shot of being anything more than a mere footnote in Big East play, then he has to deliver high octane performances every time out.

The bad news the Los Alamos Hilltopper girls soccer team was given Sunday was quickly tempered with much better news.
Los Alamos was more than a little bummed that its two big wins in the final two games of its regular season didn't seem to count for much when the seeding for the Class AAAA state tournament was announced. Instead of their two wins over St. Michael's and Aztec in the final two days of the regular season boosting their stock, the Hilltoppers fell into pretty much the exact same spot they were projected to go into prior to the two wins.
But, as a consequence of their No. 6 seed in the tournament, the Hilltoppers have a much more favorable, far less bumpy journey to making their third straight appearance in the AAAA championship game.
"It was definitely a hard hit at first," Los Alamos midfielder Charlotte Hoover said. ""But looking at the plus side, it's better than getting a high seed."
Los Alamos landed on the more desirable side of the state tournament bracket with its No. 6 seeding. Instead of having to go through the two-time defending champion Albuquerque Academy Chargers' side of the bracket, Los Alamos will potentially face two teams it is familiar with, including the Aztec Tigers whom it knocked off 2-1 in a shootout last Saturday.

Lucis Trust / Arcane School / Service of the Plan Study Course
Service of the Plan Study Course
The spiritual Hierarchy of the planet functions through three major aspects, or "departments" of work: the department of Government, the department of Religion, and the department of Education with its subsidiary aspects of Science, Philosophy, Psychology, and Culture and the Arts.
These departments are reflected into and through all human affairs everywhere. Therefore, all disciples preparing for active service to the Hierarchy find their place within one or other of these seven major areas of human life, either actively through direct contribution, or by the building of clear, Plan-imbued thoughtforms through the technique of occult meditation.
The seven studies have been prepared with the intention of helping to stimulate this sense of recognition and co-operation. They contain most of the fundamental teachings given by the Master Djwhal Khul and contained in the books written with the co-operation of Alice Bailey. The essentials relating to the work of each of the seven groups have been brought together, with some related material from other sources and a suggested form of special meditation. Here is an outline of the Table of Contents of each study:

Read: How John Tortorella Spent His Time In Tampa Bay
On September 9th, John Tortorella will be holding a dog walk, along with Ryan Callahan, Henrik Lundqvist, Rick Nash and Brad Richards, to help end animal abuse.
In 2007, the St. Pete Times wrote that Tortorella was one of the figures in sports who is actually doing some good.
More on Tortorella being awarded the Ronald McDonald "Award of Excellence."
Jay Feaster told Bruce Arthur of the National Post that Tortorella is a guy who "melts around children" and "that he constantly engages in charity work that he has no interest in sharing with the public, or the media, unless forced to do so."
Feaster said of Tortorella's interactions with Liam on 24/7 "I said to him it has to kill you to know there are people out there who actually know you're a nice guy. He laughed. But watch it – his face lit up."

J.P. Howell drawing interest from teams
LHP J.P. Howell told Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times he is drawing interest from a number of teams.
Howell said he is interested in returning to the Rays, but isn't sure how quickly a decision on a new deal might come.
Howell, 29, went 1-0 with a 3.05 ERA in 55 relief appearances for the Rays in 2012. He held left-handed hitters to a .200 average last season.
Howell signed a one-year, $1.35 million contract with the Rays last January to avoid arbitration.
At the end of the season, Terry Collins said he would like the Mets to have a veteran left-handed reliever in the bullpen next season.
Michael Baron, ContributorI wonder if the Mets could be one of those teams. He would be a good fit from the left side and fits the mold of what Terry Collins is seeking in the bullpen. Howell is a sinkerballer who doesn't throw hard but works with a lot of movement on that in his curveball, his two primary pitches. He missed all of 2010 with a shoulder injury and badly struggled in his return in 2011. But he turned a corner in 2012, keeping his walk and home run totals down in a division which pitchers are prone to the long ball. He looked more like the Howell before his shoulder surgery, which could mean he has put the injury completely behind him.

Perhaps we're just wedding-crazed around here, but lately, it seems that trends for the Big Day are seriously rolling high. We at Parker Sanpei recently investigated a few common wedding styles – contemporary, rustic, and modern – and paired wines from one of our favorite wineries, Laetitia Vineyard & Winery. Have a look.
Classic Glamour
For their big day, some couples go truly big with timeless glamour and touches reminiscent of old Hollywood or a night at the Ritz: ruby red lips, white roses, long trains, and tall cakes. For a classic nuptial, the best wine is a classic sparkler like Laetitia Vineyard & Winery's Brut Cuvée. Tiny streams of bubbles bring convey notes of red apple, lemon chiffon and juicy pear laced with aromas of fresh-baked challah bread. This festive sparkling wine – comprised of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc – is delightful sipped alone, paired with hors d'oeuvres, risotto or vegetable dishes, or poured specially for a toast to the happy couple.
A Rustic Affair
A rustic-chic wedding can feel as comfortable and authentic as a favorite pair of blue jeans. Maybe the bride wears vintage; maybe the reception is held beneath twinkling lights hung high in a country barn. But however rustic the event leans, wine from Laetitia's sister brand, NADIA, is always an elegant match. Comprised of the Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard's finest Bordeaux and Rhône-variety grapes, NADIA Wines eloquently express the remarkable high-elevation terroir of the Sierra Madre Mountains in limited-production lots. For flavor-forward cuisine like charred meats or grilled pizza, go for the NADIA Cabernet Sauvignon, which offers notes of concentrated dark fruits, a hint of clove and toasty graham cracker, balanced tannins and a long finish.
Thoroughly Modern Marriage
Today's contemporary weddings blend high design with playful touches that run the gamut from brightly-colored and patterned cakes to outlandish tropical floral arrangements. Fresh, locally-sourced cuisine that's big on flavor pairs perfectly with Laetitia's Reserve du Domaine Pinot Noir. Marked by notes of juicy red berries and rich earthiness, the Reserve du Domaine Pinot Noir boasts flavors and aromas of vine-ripened boysenberry and smoked truffle flavors that contribute to the wine's firm structure and supple grip. Pair this playful Pinot with succulent veal or fresh ratatouille for a meal – and a day – not quickly forgotten.

Lily Nicksay played Cory Matthews' punchline-spouting kid sister Morgan from 1993-1994 on "Boy Meets World" -- but then disappeared from pop culture after her character was suddenly aged in Season Three.
So, what's she been up to for the last 20 years? A lot, actually!
The actress, now 25, spoke to toofab's Brian Particelli at a reunion for the show at the ATX Television Festival -- where she filled us in on her life and future plans in the entertainment industry.
For Lily, the event was the first time she'd seen many of her costars since leaving the show -- and we spied her excitedly catching up with her TV mom, Betsy Randle, on the flight to Austin.
Check out the video above to see what Lily studied at college in Scotland, plus if she's planning on returning for Disney's upcoming spinoff, "Girl Meets World."

Jacks are back for more
The South Dakota State men's tennis team is set for its second-consecutive appearance in The Summit League Championships after its regular-season runner-up league finish.
The Jacks closed the regular season at 11-10 overall and a stellar 4-1 in league play, good for second in the final standings. SDSU finished the regular season on a five-meet winning streak and finished league play on a four-meet winning streak. The Jacks outscored opponents 26-5 in its final five meets.
Led by second-year head coach Michael Engdahl, SDSU is prepared for its second opportunity at the championships.
"It is exciting," Engdahl said. "The exciting part about this year is that we did not back our way into [the championships]; we earned our way. The Summit League was deeper this year and we came together at the right time and played good tennis. We are excited to be the No. 2 seed and hopefully we can do some damage tomorrow."
New faces make up four of the six singles spots, including No. 1 singles player Andrea Boglić. He posted a 6-9 record at the top spot, 2-2 in The Summit League and 7-10 overall on the season. Boglić was 6-3 in his last 10 matches and won his final match of the regular season. Boglić was named Summit League Men's Tennis Player of the Week once during his freshman season.
Parker Lawley led the Jacks with a team-best 13 singles wins. His 13 wins were spread out over three positions: 4-1 at No. 2, 6-3 at No. 3 and 3-1 at No. 4 (he was 0-1 at No. 1, also). Lawley was undefeated in league play at 4-0, 7-2 in his last 10 matches and won his last seven matches of the regular season. Lawley was named Player of the Week twice, including the final week of the regular season.
The duo teamed up for a 9-4 record at the top doubles spot, as well. Boglić was 0-4 in doubles prior to the partner change and Lawley was 1-6. The duo was 3-1 in league play, 7-3 in its last 10 matches and won its final two matches of the regular season.
"Parker has been a rock and very steady," said Engdahl. "He has been one of our most consistent players, especially from a mental standpoint. You know exactly what you are going to get from him. He is a professional and approaches the game the right way. He is a coach's dream, as far as what he brings to the table."
Mateus Moreira is another new face in the middle of the Jackrabbit lineup. He played the majority of his singles matches at No. 2 and No. 3, but has at least one result at every spot except No. 4. Moreira finished the regular season at 10-9 overall, 1-3 in The Summit and 5-4 at No. 2, the position with the most results.
Although the starting lineup is young, SDSU is anchored by its lone senior and team captain James Thorp. He played his first home meet this fall and is in his second championships. Thorp played the entire middle of the lineup for the Jacks, with the most results at No. 5 singles. He was 8-11 overall, 2-1 in league play and 7-5 after he settled into the No. 5 spot. Thorp won his final match of the regular season. Last season he was named to the Men's Tennis All-Summit Team.
The two spent the season experimenting with many doubles partners, but eventually settled in at the No. 2 position together. Moreira and Thorp finished the regular season with a 6-3 overall record and 3-1 league record, all at No. 2. The pair won its last two matches of the regular season.
"Thorp has definitely been a leader, especially when it comes to energy," Engdahl said. "We started slow because we were young and getting our feet wet, and we did not know our identity. He helped create the identity and stepped up when the energy was low. Thorp won two "clutch" matches, including the meet-clinching match versus IUPUI. He stepped up when he needed to, which is great to see out of a senior."
Two new faces, same name, no relation, round out the Jackrabbit lineup.
Henrique Pereira also posted results in four singles positions, but played primarily No. 4 for the SDSU. H. Pereira was 11-9 overall, second-best record on the team, and 3-1 in The Summit League. He was 6-4 at No. 4 and was 7-2 in his last 10 matches, including a four-match winning streak to close out the regular season. The six wins at No. 4 tied Boglić and Lawley for the most at a single position by any Jackrabbit.
Lucas Pereira played all but four matches at No. 6 singles and finished the regular season 8-10. L. Pereira was 6-8 in the final spot and 1-3 in league play.
The two teamed up for the best doubles record in the lineup. H. Pereira and L. Pereira were 8-2 overall and 4-1 in The Summit, all at No. 3. The duo won its last five matches, the longest streak by any Jackrabbit doubles team this season.
"We are extremely complete," said Engdahl. "Every match a different player steps up. It is nice to not depend on a single player in a match. We have six players that can win, so if we are struggling at a certain spot, we can pick it up at another spot. When you go into a match with that confidence, it calms the team down and puts a lot of pressure on the opponent.
Lawley's undefeated Summit League record (3-0) at No. 2 singles was tied for tops in the league. The three Jackrabbit doubles team combined for a 10-3 record in league play. H. Pereira and L. Pereira were tied for the best Summit League record (4-1) at No. 3 doubles.
THE OPPONENT: IUPUI Jaguars
The Jacks face the Jaguars for the second time this season. In this season's meeting, the Jacks topped the Jags 4-3 on March 25 in a neutral-site meet at Kansas City, Mo. SDSU scored the team point with a sweep in doubles and won three of the six singles matches (Lawley at No. 3, H. Pereira at No. 4 and Thorp at No. 5) for the win. Thorp won the meet's decisive match in singles. No doubles match was within three games and three singles matches were decided in three sets, only one of which went to the Jacks.
"IUPUI is all about energy and intensity," Engdahl said. "They bring the pain to the tennis court. We will match them energy-wise. They are going to be out for revenge, as our last match went down to the wire and they were not happy when we beat them, so I am sure they will be fired up. But they need to be ready for the Jacks, as well."
IUPUI finished in a tie for third place in the regular season standings, but advanced with the No. 3 seed via tiebreaker. The Jags finished with a 4-18 overall record, but 2-3 in league play with a win versus fellow 2-3 finisher Fort Wayne (No. 4 seed). Western Illinois also finished 2-3 in league play but did not qualify. In addition to its win versus IPFW, the Jags defeated St. Louis, Dayton and Omaha, all at home. IUPUI did not win a single meet on the road or at a neutral site.
The Jaguars have two of the top singles players in the league at their respective positions. Jason Jaruvang was undefeated (5-0) at the top spot, while Armaan Choudhary was 3-1 at No. 5. Jaruvang was a winner versus SDSU, but Choudhary did not play. Jaruvang and Jake Hedderig teamed up for one of the best doubles team in the league, as well. The duo was 4-1 at No. 3, its only loss versus H. Pereira/L. Pereira, co-leaders at that position.
While all of SDSU's matches were away from home, the Jacks were 5-3 this season on neutral courts, including the win versus IUPUI. The team did not play in Fort Wayne this season. Both teams are seeking the first tournament championship in school history.
Start time is set for 3 p.m. (CST) on Friday, April 26, in Fort Wayne, Ind. The meet is the second men's semifinal of the day, as top-seeded Kansas City meets the host institution and fourth-seeded Fort Wayne at 9 a.m.

PAWTUCKET — The director of two of Rhode Island's biggest road races says there are no plans to cancel the races in light of Monday's Boston Marathon bomb attack.
Charles Breagy, who directs the Navigant Credit Union Running Festival
Half Marathon and 5K in Pawtucket — scheduled to be held this year on May 5 — and the CVS Caremark Downtown 5K in Providence — slated for Sept. 22 — says the two races will go on as planned.
"These races are still in place to happen. We're revisiting security and we've reached out to police, but as of today, the races will go on," Breagy said.
Breagy's own daughter, who works for the New Balance shoe company, was in Boston Monday sitting in the stand of spectators directly across from the first blast, but had left five minutes before the first bomb went off.
"She was badly shaken, but she was able to call me from her phone to let me know she was safe and unharmed," Breagy said. "There were so many people there, including children, who saw things you would never expect to see."
More than 1,500 runners and walkers are expected at this year's third annual Navigant Credit Union Running festival in Pawtucket, which offers a half marathon, a 5K and a Youth Run. The half marathon starts and finishes near City Hall on Roosevelt Avenue.
The CVS Caremark Downtown 5k, which attracts more than 10,000 runners each year, features the CVS Caremark Downtown 5k, the Tufts Health Plan High School Inspirational 3K and youth races of varying distances. The 5k is a USATF Championship event with athletes competing for both individual and team champion honors. All races start and finish on Francis Street, which is located on the south side of the Rhode Island State House.
Breagy says he and other race organizers are taking every precaution in preparing for the two races, saying there will be even more discussions with Pawtucket and Providence police to review safety concerns.
"If the police tell us to do something we will do it," he says.
Breagy says he faced the same dilemma after the World Trade Center attacks on Sept. 11, which took place just a week or so before the CVS Caremark Downtown 5K that year.
"I remember thinking should we stop it? What should we do? Then in his address to the nation, I remember President George Bush saying that while terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, they cannot touch the foundation of America. That's who I feel now," he says.
"Speaking for myself and for everyone in the Rhode Island running community we are devastated by what happened in Boston and our prayers go out to those who lost loved ones or have been injured," Breagy said. "The country has to keep moving. We don't stop what we're doing because of some crazy person with his own agenda."
Breagy, who runs the Rhode Island running web site Runrhody.com, directs most of the larger road race events held in Rhode Island, including the Shamrock Shuffle 5K in North Kingstown, the annual Downtown Jingle 5K holiday season run/walk in Downtown Providence and the Willow Tree Family Turkey Trot 5K.
He says running is extremely popular in Rhode Island, which has more road races and some of the biggest races than any other state in New England.
"It's a great sport with some really great people and we will continue to do what we love," he said.

I am Angela, and I'm from Scranton, PA.
I fell in love with pit bulls while walking dogs at the local animal shelter. There were quite a few that I had actually wished I could have adopted, but the ones I fell in love with wouldn't have fit in with the pets we already had. I've been reading quite a bit about pit bulls since then, and dogs in general. They are pretty much my favorite breed, now. All of the shelter pit bulls that I met were extremely affectionate, but it took a while for a lot of them to find homes. It really broke my heart, especially when they would get stressed from being pent up in kennels for so long.
We adopted Sophie a few months ago from someone who didn't want her, anymore. I'm not sure why they wanted to get rid of her. I am really happy that they socialized her really well, though. Sophie loves everyone, including kids, cats, dogs... I'm not sure if they took really good care of her, though, since I found a flea on her the first night she was here. The fleas were dealt with, though, and now she is flea-free. Maybe they did do at least something to keep her from getting fleas, though, since it was the only flea I ever found on her and all I did was put some Frontline on her. She also needed some help with housetraining, but I think that might've had to do with the stress of being rehomed. She did learn quickly, though.
I've taught her a lot since she came here, and she is still learning. She's a smart dog if you are persistent with her and firm. She seems to learn rather quickly. I even have her mostly trained not to beg for food and to instead lay on the floor looking away.
She's a bit of a goof, though, probably because she's still young (1 1/2 years old). But that just makes her more lovable.
She a very affectionate and gentle dog and seems really tolerant, even with our other dog Dunkin. She can be a bit clumsy, though, and sometimes bumps into things.
I think she is a mix, mostly because of how her lips and ears are a bit floppy. But to be honest it's not that big of a deal to me. She also drools a lot sometimes, especially when food is involved.

Does anybody know how O'Reilly chooses topics to publish?
For some reason, I don't see how it can be based on demand.
The reason, I ask, is because they haven't published a Delphi book in almost 12 years and Object Pascal is at least as esoteric as Erlang and as practical as PHP and as robust as C++.
So, maybe someone knows what rationale is behind O'Reilly's publishing methodology or what it is supposed to tell us about the relative popularity or usefulness of any given language or programming technique?
