LINCOLN – Retired Army Lt. Col. Rene Remillard relaxed at a table at a coffeehouse on Route 116 Thursday afternoon, promising he'll never forget how he escaped trouble when he was a young teen growing up in Blackstone.
"I was 15 or 16 at the time, and one night my friends and I were at the Castle Restaurant in Woonsocket," chuckled Remillard, now 70 and a longtime Lincoln resident. "The guys said something like, 'Let's go look at cars.' They wanted to take one for a ride.
PAWTUCKET — Call them "Mr. and Mrs. Pawtucket" now. Herb Weiss, the city's Economic and Cultural Affairs Officer, recently tied the knot with his longtime partner, Patty Zacks, owner of The Camera Werks on Hope Street.
Adena Moller and her son, Adam Fontaine, 13, a student at Woonsocket Middle School, clear snow from in front of their home on Cass Avenue in Woonsocket Wednesday.
PAWTUCKET — Two former School Committee chairmen, who were elected back to the committee in November, have been chosen by their fellow board members to assume leadership roles once again.
By unanimous vote Tuesday night, the newly installed School Committee named Raymond Spooner as chairman and Alan Tenreiro as deputy chairman. The board also chose to retain school secretary Diana Liss, who is Spooner's sister, as its clerk.
PAWTUCKET — Academy Award nominees Viola Davis and Richard Jenkins are lending some Hollywood star power to the Mixed Magic Theatre's year-long celebration of the 100th birthday of gospel singer Mahalia Jackson and a related series of events.
Davis, who grew up in Central Falls, and Jenkins, who spent many years at Providence's Trinity Repertory Company and lives in Cumberland, have agreed to be honorary co-chairs as Mixed Magic kicks off its Arc of Events that centers around the legendary gospel great.
EAST PROVIDENCE — Riverside native Kevin Robinson abhors very few things in life, and what tops the list is seeing people treating others unfairly, being unkind just for the sake of humor or self-promotion.
The same goes for those who choose not to live by the "Golden Rule" — that is, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
That was the crystal-clear message the eight-time X Games' BMX aerial trickster and best pal Chris Poulos delivered to over 1,800 East Providence High students in their gymnasium on Friday morning.
EAST PROVIDENCE – Fire Chief Joe Klucznik indicated Thursday afternoon that he and his firefighters are "victims of our own success."
Here's why: Last February, he received word from Sen. Jack Reed's office that the East Providence Fire Department would be the recipient of a $5.3 million federal grant, one stemming from President Barack Obama's American Recovery & Reinvestment Act and deals with fire station construction.
PROVIDENCE – The pomp and circumstance of the opening of the General Assembly has faded away and now lawmakers are settling into the routine of legislating.
Two of the hot-button social issues expected to be near the top of the legislative agenda this session – gay marriage and illegal immigration – are already percolating in the Assembly's first week. Woonsocket Rep. Jon Brien is playing a lead role in both.
PAWTUCKET — A concept that began back in 2001 when two prominent professionals approached the mayor about finding ways to encourage business development has grown into a force that has changed and shaped the city. Now in its 10th year, The Pawtucket Foundation gave itself a well-deserved "pat on the back" Thursday night with a spirited anniversary celebration at The Met.
CENTRAL FALLS (AP) — The teachers at Central Falls High School struck a deal to get their jobs back last year after the entire staff was fired in a radical, last-ditch attempt to raise student performance. But if the administrators thought the teachers would be grateful for a second chance, they were wrong.
Many teachers aren't showing up for work, often calling out sick. Several abruptly quit within the first few weeks of the school year. Administrators have had to scramble to find qualified substitutes and have withheld hundreds of student grades because of the teacher absences.
PAWTUCKET — With some neighborhood concerns still unresolved, the ownership of Blackstone Wine & Spirits has appealed a denial of a liquor license transfer made by the City Council's Board of License Commissioners for a new location at 275 Newport Ave. to the state's Department of Business Regulation, Liquor Control Division.
PROVIDENCE — Making good on one of his principal campaign promises, Gov. Lincoln Chafee Wednesday signed an executive order revoking the controversial Illegal Immigration Control Order issued by former Gov. Donald Carcieri more than two years ago.
PROVIDENCE — Calling for "an era of political collaboration, of cultural and ethnic acceptance, of shared sacrifice and, more importantly, of faith and trust in each other," Lincoln Chafee became the first Independent governor of Rhode Island in the modern era at 12:22 p.m. Tuesday.
PAWTUCKET — Jeanne (Rice) Murphy, who died last Thursday at age 84, had a career unlike almost any other reporter at the old Pawtucket Times.
Murphy first began working for the newspaper as a high school intern back in 1944.
"The newsroom had been decimated by World War II," Jeanne's daughter Sheila recalled. "The managing editor liked the way my mother wrote and offered her a job."
PAWTUCKET — A local landscaping company has filed a lawsuit against the city of Pawtucket alleging that city officials failed to put numerous landscaping contracts out for public bid.
D.M. Bruzzi Landscape Co. Inc. filed a complaint in Superior Court on Dec. 28 naming the city as a defendant, along with city Parks Superintendent William Mulholland, Finance Director Ronald Wunschel, and Purchasing Director Joseph Roque.

Mayors are called to be 'mediators,' says Pontiff
Catholic World News - April 07, 2014
In a brief April 5 address to Italian mayors, Pope Francis said that mayors are called to be "mediators" in the midst of their people's needs.
Rather than corrupt "intermediaries" who exploit others, mayors are called to the exhausting task of being with the people in order "to create unity, to make peace, to resolve problems and resolve the needs of the people," the Pope added.

Audiobooks are very popular among Outreach patrons. The Outreach staff is always on the lookout for new audiobooks in the collection that may fit the needs of a homebound individual.

Though we primarily pay attention to the clothes and designers during fashion week, we'd be lying if we didn't admit that these industry events also offer other forms of entertainment. Frankly, we delight in watching the other attendees, and particularly enjoy noting which well-dressed ladies stand out as leaders of the posh pack. During the past show season in New York, however, we found ourselves rooting for a fresh face who almost instantaneously distinguished herself as a fashionable force: Becka Diamond. This Boston-born aspiring actress won us over with her own brand of edgy chic (French Vogue's Emmanuelle Alt is one of her influences) and rock' n' roll insouciance (Iggy Pop, Axl Rose, and Keith Richard's former paramour Anita Pallenberg are three of her fashion icons). While she's been making waves showing up at all the right parties with best friend, Alexander Wang-muse, and former GOTM Dree Hemingway, we think it's a sure bet when we say that you will fall in love with the singular style of our October Girl of The Month, Becka Diamond!
Spotted outside of the Elise Overland show in February (above, far left), Diamond was dressed like a champ in Alexander Wang's Velvet Cape from the designer's F/W 08 collection; we love how the black trim contrasts with not only the shimmering gold material of the coat but also her bleached blond bob. Worn with a pair of Les Chiffoniers Leather Leggings with Zips ($843) and a treasured vintage tee, this is certainly a contender for our favorite Diamond ensemble. Though her cape-coat is no longer available, try Topshop's Premium Satin Longline Blazer ($160) with a pair of sleek body-con bottoms like Armani Exchange's Faux Leather Leggings ($48); the former matches Diamond's choice in sheen and color, but in the price department, our selection has the original beat! Another knock-out component to her look is our GOTM's affinity for edgy accessories; though she is rarely spotted without her oversized emerald green Yves Saint Laurent Arty Ovale Ring ($195), we think Rachel Leigh's Gumball Ring ($72) is a great semi-precious alternative to Diamond's designer hand candy!
It appears that statement outerwear and must-have leather skinnies are a bit of a Diamond trademark, as the look she wore to Alexander Wang's after-party (second from left) proves. Like her fashionable peers Lauren Santo Domingo and Vanessa Traina, Diamond has been spotted around town in Altuzarra pieces, proving that she has a keen eye for emerging design talents. The much-buzzed about line from the Proenza Schouler and Givenchy alum, Joseph Altuzarra has quickly become a sartorial star on the rise, and for good reason-clearly this is not your mother's mink or sweater set! Our GOTM rocked the Ivory Drop Shoulder Seamed Knit with Pearl Mink Tails ($1530, 212.826.8900) with Alexander Wang's Stretch Snakeskin Pants ($474) to add a hard edge to her statement top. The look is sophisticated, unique, and totally chic. If you are a fan of her fur-adorned piece, try Jill Stuart's Adelaide Sweater ($578) for a fringe-festooned crème choice.
While we appreciate Diamond's styling deftness with her beloved skin-tight trousers, we also appreciate the interesting way she plays with texture and color in her eveningwear choices. Seen attending the Sundance Channel and Proenza Schouler-hosted premiere of The Day Before, Diamond rocked Alexandre Herchcovitch's Smoking Sequin Dress ($1650, 212.219.2688) with a beloved pair of Alaia heels (second from right). Her eye-catching ensemble makes a bold statement with its multi-color, multi-patterned design and gathered sparkly material. Take a lesson from Diamond's playbook and try Haute Hippie's Illusion Fringe Sequined Dress ($595) or their Sequin-Embellished Tank Dress ($365) for your next cocktail occasion and be prepared to steal the show!
Of course, today's story wouldn't be complete without showcasing our GOTM in rock' n' roll's fabric of life: leather. Though she singles out her Rick Owens Blister Leather Biker Jacket ($2695) as her favorite piece of clothing to wear with everything, we like how Diamond mixed it with a feminine floral Alexandre Herchcovitch Beaded Dress ($925, 212.219.2688) to attend Anna Sui's S/S 10 show at the Bryant Park Tents during New York fashion week (far right). Though the Rick Owens jacket is a classic and well worth the investment, we also like Dallin Chase's Jasper Leather Jacket ($598) or Silence & Noise's Faux Leather Jacket ($128); combine any of these outerwear options with a diaphanous flower printed dress like Paul Smith's Multicoloured River Print Sleeveless Dress ($369) to get a Diamond-worthy ensemble. Just finish off the look with Proenza Schouler's Suede Snub-Toe Ankle Boots ($795) as our GOTM did (or try the Laceup Bootie ($78) from Deena & Ozzy for a more modestly priced alternative) and you'll be ready for any fashionable occasion that may come your way! For an even more authentic Diamond quality appearance, use a heavy hand while applying a dark eyeliner like Diamond's favorite MAC's Kohl Power Eye Pencil ($15) in Feline to look like fashion's newest It girl!

LONDON (MarketWatch)—European stock markets started December on an upbeat note on Monday as Greece took steps to reduce its towering debt pile and miners gained ground in the wake of encouraging manufacturing data from China.
Markets, however, trimmed gains in late action, as a snapshot of U.S. factory activity missed expectations.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, +0.33% rose 0.1% to close at 276.13, after posting a 2% monthly gain on Friday.
Arctic route paves way for gas trade
A Norwegian tanker full of natural gas is scheduled to deliver to Japan after traveling through the Arctic Ocean. The WSJ's Ken Brown explains how this route will change the way people sell gas.
"We've seen progress on Greece today and the view is that the euro zone is going to survive. That gives a greater level of confidence, which has been a critical issue," said Justin Urquhart Stewart, co-founder of Seven Investment Management.
"If investors can get over that issue, the question that is left and one markets can't answer is where will growth come from. With [German Chancellor Angela] Merkel up for election in September, she wants to go into that with a growing economy, so we'll start to see a change in mood music that will be good for markets," he said.
Among notable movers in the pan-European index, shares of Cable & Wireless Communications PLC CWC, +0.08% rose 1.2%, after the firm said it has agreed to sell a chunk of its Monaco & Islands division for $680 million in cash. See: C&W Communications to sell chunk of Monaco & Islands
In France, shares of Renault SA RNO, +1.71% lost 1.3% and Peugeot SA UG, +2.88% fell 1.9%, after data showed new car registrations in France dropped 19% in November compared with the same month last year. See: French car makers see slide continuing in 2013
China data point to improvement
Elsewhere, markets looked to news out of Asia, where Chinese business-activity data over the weekend continued to show an improvement in the manufacturing sector. The official purchasing managers' index rose to 50.6 in November, up 0.4 points from October, and above the 50-level mark, which separates contraction from expansion. See: Chinese manufacturing grows in November
"The continued improvement in China's manufacturing PMIs is consistent with our view that the Chinese economy has bottomed out and has started to recover moderately," analysts at Danske Bank said in a note.
"Policy wise, the implication is that we are unlikely to see further substantial monetary and fiscal easing," they said.
In Europe, the final reading of Markit's manufacturing purchasing manager's index rose to 46.2 in November, up from 45.4 in October, and unchanged from an earlier estimate. The reading marked the highest level in eight months, although suggesting that the downturn in the European manufacturing extended into the 16th month. Read: Euro-zone manufacturing shrinks for 16th month.
Meanwhile, Greece offered to buy back as much as 10 billion euro ($13 billion) in debt owed to private creditors in an effort to bring its debt pile to a sustainable level.
Greece's offer to buy back debt comes a week after euro-zone finance ministers agreed on measures to bring down the country's debt burden to unblock the next tranche of bailout money.
The Athens General Index GD, -0.17% rallied 1.3% to 819.39. Shares of National Bank of Greece SA ETE, +0.93% surged 3.8%.

In July 2011 Our Troop is going to Northern Tier which is a 10 day canoe trip in Southern Canada. Has anyone been there and do you have any insights, tips or recommedations that aren't in typical BSA material. For instance how bad are the bugs (mosquito's/black flies)?Any comments helpful.Thank youHikelite
Never been there.Not a Boy Scout.But Canada + Water + July ? There is no real predicting on bugs, except: Yes.I'd consider a sewing project where everyone ends up with a headnet. A simple tube, big enough to fit over a Seattle Sombrero, with a sewn in circle on top and a 1/16" shock cord closure at the bottom. Most importantly, make them big enough so you can get a spoon to your mouth. Cheap, easy, light, and effective. They will increase the sanity quotient considerably if you hit a hatch. Edit: There is "nanoseeum net" and mosquito net. Nano is very tight, and consequently warm. Try to find Light Weight mosquito net. Cooler and better visibility. It will be sufficient for mosquitoes and the blackflies.Apparently BPL no longer sells them. :-(
Edited by greg23 on 01/10/2011 08:56:37 MST.
I went with my troop in 1995. We used a local outfitter instead of the BSA. The bugs were real bad. You could hear a constant buzz from their wings when you were waiting to fall asleep. I would highly suggest finding out how much weight will be in your bear bag(s) and practice hanging them. We got caught "out after dark" each night trying to hang ours. Our group was pretty unexperienced and had a hard time trying to hang a lot of food weight high enough.
If you'd like you can send me a message or I can give you my email. I worked there for a few summers. The program is decidedly not UL, but you can do a lot with your boys (and adults) to make the trip better and lighter before you go.Ryan
Canada + Water + July ? There is no real predicting on bugs, except: Yes.Ditto that ... several times over. There HAVE been relatively bug free summers due to severe drought but while the odds of that happening are better than those of winning the lottery ... they're only slightly better. With a bit of luck I think black flies will be way past peak but you'll certainly contend with mosquitoes, horse flies, deer flies and ticks.Early July is typically worse than late July ... August better than July. Get all camp work finished before sunset, peak skeeter time for next hour after that. Seek out breezy/exposed spots for lunch stops.But it's worth all that ... it's a spectacular place.Rock of Ages Lake
Ryan, your info says you have not specified an email yet for someone to PM you on. If you like you can PM me and I will respond.Chuck
Not a Scout, so don't know all "rules", but...Consider using a 2" pulley (3 ounces) in the middle of a line with the foodbag line going through it. MUCH, MUCH easier to haul up a lot of weight. It greatly reduces damage to the tree, with far less chance of a line getting stuck.Yes, you'll need two more 50' lengths of parachute cord for the pulley, and yes you have to make two successful throws. But it is easier than finding that perfect overhanging limb. Look at these for small rope and cord management. Essential in any case.Butterfly Coil for bigger rope. Figure Eight for small cord.
P-cord is used for tent/tarp lines and various repairs at Northern Tier. Bear rope is supplied with either a steel ring or pulley. And it's rope (not UL). Two rope technique is widely employed when possible.It's all real, cooked food, and for a full crew on a ten day trip you'll likely have two full food packs at obscene weights.
Ryan,Consider a a couple of double pulleys, one with a beckett, for a 5:1 "block and tackle" system. Two doubles 1" weigh about 10 ounces. And of course you'll need 5 times the rope. Small diameter, 500#. But you know how to "manage" that.Found Here, for instance.

I've had some experience with similar setups for very heavy bear bagging. They all work. You're right that they need a lot of extra line. With Scouts, I've always used the two big ropes and single pulley + brute force. It's a great way to wear them down so that they go to bed before the bugs come out.
My troop went 4 years ago through a seperate outfitter. We had a lot of fun, had no problems with bugs, and found that we packed to much food (we caught and ate fish every day, and ended up bring a lot of food back with us). A group had gone a few years before and canoed every day and stayed at a new site every night, so we decided to try something new and stay at one site for the week and take day trips out. That ended up working out really well. It only rained on us one night but when it rained, it came down in buckets.

This is all great - thanks.Any must see things we are going to Bissett Manitoba?Chuck
Head nets for everyone, soak your clothes in permetherin, good raingear top, I also vote for double pulley system, one pulley on hanging line, another pulley on a food bag, second food bag attached to first food bag. Possible investment in a good, large silnylon tarp for your group would be good. Then it will never rain, lol.
We took three 8-man crews in mid-July 2010 (three adults and five scouts in each crew). Thus far, it's the pinnacle experience of my adult Scouting career. We went through a private outfitter instead of the BSA camp to keep costs down and not have to go three to a canoe. We did stop by the camp on our way off the lakes and again as we left Ely. Our crews started in Snowbank Lake and Lake One. Each crew did 50 to 60 miles afloat, with 2 - 4 miles of portaging over six days as they worked their way up to Knife Lake along the Canadian border.I'll add a +1 and then another +1 to the head nets and permethrin treatments. Through the day the bugs aren't too bad... Just a fly here and there. When the sun sets, the mosquitoes come out in force. It sounds like a thousand kazoos. Be in your tent about half an hour before sunset or prepare to be eaten. Also, do NOT leave your tent door cracked... not even a little.Long sleeve poly shirts (like Starter or looser Under Armour) are great. Light. Wicking. Quick drying. With an SPF of at least 30. If wearing shorts, be sure to coat your lower thighs and knees with sunblock a few times a day. That's the only place I ended up burning.If your portages are all under half a mile, wear cheap tennis shoes with mesh sides that you don't mind ruining. Might even punch holes in the side for quick drains. I took my old lawn-mowin' shoes. Worked perfectly.Get up and on the water early. Camp sites are first-come-first-served and start getting snapped up by 2 o'clock or so.If given the choice, go with the heavier aluminum canoes versus Kevlar (I think it's the only option if going through the BSA camp). The boys can be brutal on the bows when trying dry landings.Light weight is nice, but if you're smart with your portages, this is a trip to take some luxuries on. An extra 10 pounds in the canoe is not noticed. We bear bagged it, but didn't see any signs of bear (or any other non-human mammals, for that matter).Rain gear did little good for us. We only had two real downpours. We weren't wearing our suits the first time when a thunderstorm rolled in very quickly. We were all soaked by the time we made it to shore and got them on. The second time we had them on "just in case". The sweating soaked us all from the inside anyway.If the boys DO wear their raingear, make them wear their PFD over their jackets or do a PFD check at every portage. We lost one life jacket because a boy took it off at a portage and put his rain jacket back on without it. We were two miles up the lake before realizing he didn't have it.More than anything, let the boys do the work, navigate the lakes, get you lost, and found again. Watching our boys grow over the course of the week was amazing.Good luck!
Ken,Sounds like you all had a good time up there, and pretty close to the Northern Tier base. I bet you saw plenty of Scout groups in that area. Just to add my $.02 to your $.02:Low-cut shoes: yes they can work, but if you go through N. Tier (while I worked there) they expect you to bring shoes with ankle support. Those who don't have to sign an extra waiver at the base and possibly some other hassle. I don't know if I'd recommend them for Bissett, where the OP is headed...longer portages and plenty of quicksand-like "moose muck" in those parts.Portaging and other stuff: most of the interpreters at Northern Tier like how well the aluminum canoes resist scouts' efforts to sink them. Kevlar are surprisingly durable though (but more expensive, and only an option at Ely and Atikokan bases, not Bissett). The base groups do wet portage only, so the hull of the canoe ideally only touches the water and the sky. Raingear's importance and frequency of use is absolutely unpredictable on a trip-by-trip basis. My last trip there in July 2009 was my consistently coldest and wettest, with constant temps in the 40s to mid 50s, wind and rain, and no appreciable sunlight for just under five days. My PFD (also my pillow at night) was never wet because I put it under my rain jacket. Losing it isn't a big deal, as it shouldn't be coming off for the single-portage anyway...unzipped at most.My favorites of yours, in ascending order:+1 on covering up from the sun.+2 on your early rising advice. Get a move on while the water is calm, the air is still and cool (on a good day), and set up camp early so you can cook before the bugs hit.+3 on this: "let the boys do the work, navigate the lakes, get you lost, and found again." EXACTLY! I hope some of your same boys get another high adventure trip in together. Ryan
Take a power kite for some real fun. You can either go with a 3m to 5m 4 line training kite or a simple 2 line power sled. You will have a BLAST with the kite but be warned, a 5m kite on a canoe is going to capsize. I would at least build a small DIY power sled maybe a couple 1m and 3m for making down wind travel easy as pie.It wouldn't be a bad idea for everyone to build a small power sled, they'll fit in your pocket why not right? I dunno what the wind conditions are up there that time of year but I'm assuming a constant 5-10mph breeze.The bugs will be thick enough to choke on so be prepared with high quality premium head nets. Cheap head nets are not going to save you from everything. The OR net with a ring in it is one of my favorites, about $18. BRING DEET in a few different concentrations and be aware of people's tolerances to the stuff. 100% deet won't be for everyone. Make sure they know how to use it and when they need to not use it. 10 days of the stuff can really get to some folks, even at 30%.
Edited by tchilds on 02/05/2011 08:30:49 MST.
You would certainly have enough wind to work a power sled some days, but sails in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area are illegal. How they define "sail" is vague, so I think it depends on the mood of any ranger that might be within sight. With a kite, you would certainly be "within sight" of a lot more folks.
Went there in 2001 with my Dad and a small crew. IMO its the most fun I ever had in Scouts. I had a great troop and we did lots of hiking and camping but Northern Tier was the pinnacle of my Scouting experience. My Dad liked it so much he went back with my brother two years later. We did about 70 miles in 9 days, our longest portage was 1.5 miles, with most of them being less than a mile. The typical BSA stuff is heavy but works. None of us had the slightest clue what lightweight gear was but we all survived and had the time of our lives. By the time my Dad went I had learned a little about UL hiking and I made a number of clothing suggestions that they appreciated. Namely, synthetic clothing which dried quickly. You'll spend most of your time being damp. The thing that could have used the biggest overhaul when I went was the food. Suffice it to say we had way more cookpots, pans, and stoves that we ended up using. I'm not sure what the standard kit it now but I'll bet its still overkill.Rain gear was a must when we were up there, we got two straight days of rain, one so bad we sat most of it out at the campsite. Bugs were bad every night. Long sleeves, long pants, and a headnet are highly recommended, as is being in the tent before it gets dark. If the BSA still recommends jungle boots I would say they are overkill for 80% of the portages we did, but the quick drying aspect is nice. I think I could have got by with a sturdy pair of trail runners and been much more comfortable in camp. I wore swim trunks during the day, which was a good choice and then wore a pair of rain pants over them in the evenings when the bugs were getting bad. If you have a favorite PFD, bring it because the BSA's were a little skanky when I was there.Some highlights for me were eating walleye we caught during the day, Yum-Yum (a particularly wicked portage, which Sigurd Olson mentions in one of his books), a campsite with a crude log picnic table that wasn't supposed to be there, seeing a bald eagle (unheard of in my home at the time), losing two of our three methods of water purifications by the second day, white caps rolling over the front of the canoe on a particularly windy day, The Yellow Brick road (a pretty easy portage), and the B and the B (Bit** and Bast***, two very tough portages in very close proximity).I want to go back very badly, though not necessarily with the BSA. Its absolutely beautiful and one of my fondest memories. I wish that I had brought a real camera along. Specific memories have faded and I wish I had photos to remind me. My Dad and brother took a camera when they went and they I love their pictures. I chose to do Northern Tier instead of Philmont and never once regretted it after hearing about other Scouts' experiences. Not the Philmont sounded bad, but Northern Tier is less about the activities and side trips at the campsite and more about the journey from camp to camp. We were often too tired to do much more than cook dinner, soak in the water for a bit, and hang the bear bags.I hope that you make as many memories as we did, no matter what gear you decide to bring.Adam
Well if sails are illegal then I wouldn't take anything more than a small power sled to assist with down wind travel. That really is a shame about the sail thing. Hopefully they don't mean small power sleds at all. Power sleds can not travel up wind, capsize boats, or cause loss of control. These are all things that sails can do so I would avoid larger kites and just play dumb if anyone says anything.When we went to northern tier in scouts, we had makeshift sails set up on canoes for hours at a time sometimes. We used clothing and external frame packs, big tents, all the good heavy stuff that scouts love to carry around w/out even complaining. These made it impossible to steer the canoes and often we found just tieing a shirt up on some sticks was about all the canoe could handle.

It's the holy grail of hockey that dates back to even before the NHL existed and has been associated with hockey for over a century. Players take it home for a day and thousands have taken a sip from it and put their lips on it. It's been under attack during a war, been lost in snow, inside a space shuttle, at the bottom of swimming pools and backstage at hundreds of concerts. It even has its own personal security guard. From the first time a kid laces up his skates on the local pond and falls in love with the game of hockey, they dream of holding it up high above their head one day. And when they get that opportunity, their names are etched next to the idols they grew up watching and the legends of the game. That's why the Stanley Cup is the greatest trophy in the world. Now your Senators are on a quest to parade Lord Stanley around Ottawa's downtown streets. As your Sens push for the Stanley Cup in the 2012 Playoffs, be right by their side cheering and motivating them every step of the way with this We Want The Cup shirt by Old Time Hockey. Featuring "We Want The Cup In Ottawa" lettering printed on the front with a Sens logo, large Stanley Cup graphic and a 2012 NHL Playoffs logo, this tee will help remind the team what they are playing for once the 2012 playoffs start.

POTSDAM Four players will take part in their last regular-season games at Cheel Arena this weekend as the Clarkson University mens hockey team hosts Dartmouth and Harvard.
After Saturdays game against the Crimson, seniors Andrew Himelson, Nik Pokulok, Adam Pawlick and Cody Rosen will be honored.
They all stayed over the course of the summer and made a complete commitment to what were trying to accomplish here for a culture that were trying to embody, Clarkson coach Casey Jones said. Theyve been really good with our younger guys. They are part of my leadership group that we talk about all the time. They are tremendous representatives of the campus in the community.
Each of this years seniors has watched three other classes go through this weekend in the past.
I dont think its sunk in yet, Himelson said. It will all sink in when the seasons over, and you finally think about it.
Said Pawlick, It seems like just the other day I was starting my freshman year. I dont really want to think about it too much, its sad. Hopefully its not our last home weekend.
Each player, with the exception of Pokulok who had a medical appointment and missed practice Wednesday, spoke of how attending Clarkson changed them as players and people.
From when I first got here to now Ive just matured as a player and a person, Rosen said. You learn good work habits. Its affected my life pretty big. Clarkson is a good university and a great school.
Said Pawlick, I would like to think I became a more well-rounded player, playing center the last two years. I think I picked up more defensive responsibility playing on the penalty kill.
Each member of the senior class plans on pursuing a professional hockey career, but each also has plans for life after hockey as well.
(School) has been eye-opening, Pawlick said. I thought I knew what I wanted to do after school, but now there are so many opportunities out there. Clarkson gives you such a good education where you can jump into a bunch of fields with the degree you get here. Originally, I wanted to own my own business, now Im not sure.
Said Rosen, Im pretty excited about the opportunity that Clarkson gives and Im going to try to take full advantage of it.
While each senior has played a key role on the ice, Jones has grown to admire each player as a person in the two years hes worked with the quartet.
I think they are leaving here as good people and they will take good advantage of the Clarkson opportunity to set themselves up, Jones said. I think youre going to see some very successful people in this class going forward.
With just four games left in the ECAC Hockey season, Clarkson (8-15-7 overall, 7-8-3 conference) still can finish as high as second place and as low as last place.
The Golden Knights are tied for seventh with Princeton entering tonight, and the top eight teams are guaranteed a home playoff series.
But Clarkson is only three points behind St. Lawrence University and Union, which are tied for third. The top four teams earn a first-round bye.
Last year we went into the last weekend with a lot at stake, Jones said. The last game at Harvard we could have been in third place and we end up tied for sixth or whatever it was. Thats the way its been the last couple of years. Youve got to play your best game or someones beating someone, and it could be anybody in the course of time. We want to play our best and, if a team beats us right now, we want them to earn it.
Tonights opponent, Dartmouth (12-9-4, 8-7-3) is two points ahead of the Golden Knights. Saturdays foe Harvard (7-15-3, 4-12-2) is in last place, but has a four-game unbeaten streak (2-0-2) heading into this weekend.
Dartmouth handled us pretty easily in their building, Jones said. They had the puck for most of the game and we didnt have a great game. They are all tough games in the course of a season. Everybody is jumbled. Theres no separation between these teams. Harvards been hot lately. They are a tough game.

FGCU Eagles Claim First A-Sun Women's All-Sports Title
MACON, Ga. – Regular season championships in soccer, volleyball and basketball helped Florida Gulf Coast University claim the 2012-13 Atlantic Sun Conference Women's All-Sports championship.
The Sherman Day Trophy, which is awarded to the A-Sun Women's All-Sports Champion, will now find a home in Ft. Myers.
With only track and field remaining, the Eagles total 169.5 points out of a possible 222 (.764), receiving 30 points for soccer, volleyball and basketball, along with 12 points for cross country, 24 for golf, six for sand volleyball, 13.5 for tennis and 24 for softball.
The Eagles' trio of regular season titles helped them secure the top spot, as they are followed by North Florida (168/243, .691), ETSU (145.5/228, .638), Jacksonville (126/216, .583) and 2012 champion Kennesaw State (130.5/228, .572) in the top five. Mercer (118.5/222, .534), Stetson (106.5/222, .480), cross country champion Lipscomb (108/228, .474), USC Upstate (100.5/228, .441) and Northern Kentucky (81/228, .355) complete the field.
FGCU led the overall All-Sports race following the completion of the winter seasons and has a chance to supplant ETSU as the first team other than the Bucs to claim the Bill Bibb Trophy as the A-Sun All-Sports Champion. This is the award's seventh year of existence.
The Eagles currently lead the combined all-sports race with track and field and baseball remaining, while the Bucs sit atop the Men's All-Sports Race (.769).
Points for the A-Sun All-Sports title are awarded on a descending basis in three-point increments. A minimum of five full-fledged members must participate in a sport for that sport to be counted in the all-sports standings. The total number of points available for each sport is established according to the number of teams participating in each sport.
In team sports, points are awarded based on regular season finish. In individual sports (cross country, golf, track & field) points are awarded based on the A-Sun Championship standings. Ties split points, and the final All-Sports standings are based on percentage. Each institution's percentage score is determined by the aggregate calculation of each institution's points earned divided by the maximum points available to that institution.
The Atlantic Sun Conference is an NCAA Division I league with 10 member institutions committed to Building Winners for Life. The A-Sun meets the challenge of maintaining the highest standards in academic and athletic achievement with a true balance between student and athlete. Headquartered in Macon, Ga., the A-Sun boasts six of the top eight media markets in the Southeast. The A-Sun includes a blend of the most prestigious and dynamic private and public institutions in the region: East Tennessee State University, Florida Gulf Coast University, Jacksonville University, Kennesaw State University, Lipscomb University, Mercer University, University of North Florida, Northern Kentucky University, University of South Carolina Upstate and Stetson University.

Cover Oregon plans to open website Tuesday for agents, community partners
PORTLAND, Ore. - Cover Oregon's much maligned website is scheduled to take a step toward functionality on Tuesday when it releases new tools that it hopes will allow agents to sign up customers in one sitting.
"This added functionality will allow agents and community partners to get people enrolled," said Cover Oregon spokesman Michael Cox. "It's not going to be perfect for everyone because there will always be cases that are more complicated, but it should be a move forward."
Cox said that it will probably be Tuesday afternoon before they have a sense of whether things are working properly.
"Agents will need to create their accounts and sign into the system," he said.
While Cox said this is a big step, he cautions there is still a lot of work to do
"This should not be seen as a countdown to when we will release these same tools for the public," he said.

U.S. forces have captured a suspect in the September 2012 attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, Libya. Take a look back at the attack and the political aftermath.
But on Sept. 19, 2012, an Obama administration official described the incident as a "terrorist attack." The following day, after days of repeating that the video mocking Islam caused the attack, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said: "It is, I think, self-evident that what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack. Our embassy was attacked violently, and the result was four deaths of American officials." U.S. officials also back away from the theory that a protest led to the attack.

Growing up I didn't really care what other people thought and I didn't really know who I liked until I turned 14 that's when I considered liking girls.Read more
I'm sixteen, and I've been living the life my dad wants me to live, all along. Just to make him happy. But, I wasn't happy. I'm gay, and I couldn't be myself because I thought it would disappoint my father.
I've grown up around gay and bisexual people. My mom is bisexual, and I was always around her and her girlfriends and gay friends. My aunt is gay, and I was always around her and her ex-wife, and all of her girlfriends.
My name is Kirsten. I am 18 years old. My first crush was in Kindergarten on a girl.... My mother is extremely Catholic and is outspokenly against homosexuality. The area in which I live is very Christian. People are very openly against homosexuality and I fear how I would be treated if people knew. I am in the top of my graduating class. Straight A's. Going into either Geo or Astrophysics and Anthropology. I do not see a way to live both lives openly, and so, at least for now, i will remain silent.Read more

I'm 16 years old and i think i am a lesbian. I've had boyfriends in the past but i've never been with a girl. The thing is that i think I'm in denial. I've kept trying to tell myself that I am not a lesbian. The last time i came out to my parents about something (It was the fact that i wasn't a Christian like them) they laughed and said i was too young to even by thinking about a choice like that. They still tell people I am a Christian. I guess that experience makes me think that they wouldn't support me. I don't know.Read more
Jane 1
I'm an ordinary South African girl. I've recently admitted to myself that I'm a lesbian but it wasn't easy doing so. I've come out to my friends and my cousins but not to my mom yet. I suspect that she knows but I don't want to confirm it for her as yet: the last thing I want to hear is someone telling me it's just a phase. It helps that I've got a few friends who are also lesbian/ bisexual. I've also learnt that love just happens and you start to have a great ife once you begin to remain true to yourself.Read more

Sevallos, also 19, became pregnant while a junior in high school. The couple learned during an early sonogram that their baby's intestines and liver were growing outside of her body. Adalynn, who has had 28 surgeries, came home from the hospital for the first time only a few days ago.
Adalynn's mother, Serafina Sevallos, cheers her on as the 2-year-old girl stands on her own. Adalynn's illness and prolonged hospital stay have resulted in some developmental delays, which the family hopes soon will be resolved with physical and occupational therapy. Adalynn still must use a feeding machine (at right).
Nellie Doneva/Reporter-News Serafina Sevallos kisses Adalynn as the girl snuggles in her mother's lap. The baby often would cry when her parents would leave her hospital room, but because of school, work and the distance to Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, they were only able to visit on weekends.

The new airport, which was due to open in 2011 and through successive delays will not open until 2014 at the earliest, has been plagued by construction complications and skyrocketing costs. Opposition leaders are calling for the resignation of Berlin Mayor Klaus Wowereit, who until recently chaired the Governing Board, though he has thus far refused to give up his post as mayor.

Child And Adult Care Food Program Participation API : Beginning 2007
This featured Application Programming Interface (API) page serves as a reference for developers who are building tools that interact with the data on Health Data NY. The page provides examples on how to retrieve data from each of the fields within the dataset. A description of each field is also provided. This specific featured API page is for the Child And Adult Care Food Program: Beginning 2007 dataset. The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a nutrition education and meal reimbursement program helping providers serve nutritious and safely prepared meals and snacks to children and adults in day care settings. This dataset includes the names and locations of participating day care sites and whether or not the site is Breastfeeding Friendly Certified with CACFP, participating in the Eat Well Play Hard in Child Care Settings (EWPHCCS) project, or participating in the Eat Well Play Hard in Day Care Homes (EWPHDCH) project. This dataset excludes Child and Adult Care Food Program participation provided at homeless shelters and legally-exempt day care home providers. Not all counties in NYS are serviced by the grantees implementing the project EWPHCSS. The EWPHDCH project is currently limited to the areas served by the contracted agencies. The Child and Adult Care Food Program dataset is related to the Child Care Related Programs dataset on the www.Open.ny.gov website, however this dataset includes additional nutrition information. The Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) is currently working to update the Child Care Related Programs dataset on a more frequent schedule with the OPEN NY team. OCFS and DOH will then be able to synchronize in the near future. Temporarily, DOH has omitted addresses for regulated child care providers that provide home care since this information is available on www.Open.ny.gov by using this link: https://data.ny.gov/Human-Services/Child-Care-Regulated-Programs/cb42-qumz. The data set is available at: https://health.data.ny.gov/Health/Child-And-Adult-Care-Food-Program-Participation-Be/dmn7-mpa8. For more information about the datset, go to the dataset and look in the "About" section.

A slight breeze rattles the branches of some nearby trees as the early morning sun rises into the waking sky. The soft smell of pine and the cool morning air invigorate the senses. There's almost no better way to escape the demand and reach of modern life than to go camping and enjoy the peace, tranquility and solitude that nature and the outdoors can offer. The Castle Valley provides some great opportunities for campers of all kinds.
Camping is a great option for many families whose budgets may not allow an elaborate or extravagant vacation getaway to a faraway place, and make no mistake, it is a certain to create memories that will last a lifetime.
One of the best things about camping in the outdoors is that it is an activity that can be had by almost anyone, and the Castle Valley boasts some great campgrounds both large and small - most of which are equipped with fire rings, picnic tables and pit toilets. The area also boasts some great "primitive" sites off the beaten path for those not particularly fond of traditional campgrounds.
Some of these campsites are found in some of Utah's riches mountain landscapes and others are located in rugged desert terrain. Certainly there's something here for everyone.
In the spring and fall, many travel to the deserts found in the lower elevations. Those near Temple Mountain, San Rafael ("Swinging") Bridge and the Wedge Overlook tend to be popular destinations as they are close to some pretty fantastic attractions.
Many people that visit these campgrounds bring their ATVs along and ride many of the designated trails in the area. Some choose to hike the nearby gullies and canyons carved from eons of wind and water.
In the summer months, many flock to higher elevations hoping to find cooler temperatures, to fish, or perhaps for a change of scenery. The myriad of campsites located within Huntington Canyon become flooded with campers, trailers, RVs, as well as tents. Many of these campgrounds do require reservations, however, which must be made well in advance.
Many people also camp in or near Scofield State Park, located about 30 miles northwest of Helper.
The Price Canyon Recreation Area is one place that often does not receive much camping pressure. There are many well-maintained sites in addition to several group sites for large gatherings. Moreover, the nature trail that leads from the campground provides some stunning views from atop the mountain.
Avintaquin Campground
Located 19 miles northeast of Helper. Access via SR-191. Turn onto Reservation Road, then travel west 1 mile.

Huntington Canyon (varied)
There are a multitude of campgrounds in Huntington Canyon (SR-31). Many are by reservation only.
Indian Creek Campground
Located approximately 21 miles northwest of Orangeville. Can be accessed via the Trail Mountain Road from SR-29.
Joe's Valley Reservoir Campground
Located approximately 18 miles from Orangeville (via SR-29) on the west side of the reservoir.
Millsite Reservoir State Park
Located approximately 4 miles west of Ferron on the south side of the reservoir.
Potter's Ponds Campground

San Rafael Bridge Campground

In my formative school years, there were always concerns of what toll hefty textbooks and toting them around in backpacks would be. Luckily, The students of the 21st century may not have to share in that burden with Apple's announcement that it would begin offering digital textbooks on their iPad via its iBooks 2 app.
Leaving your valuable Apple devices unprotected is risky! Discover the latest innovative protection solutions allow you to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes with stylish bags, sleeves and cases. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside our brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.
Apple is setting its sights on the textbook industry - Textbooks for iPad, which became available by way of a new textbook category in iBooks 2, which requires iOS 5 and is currently available as an update to the original iBooks app, provide students with a modern, interactive replacement for conventional printed textbooks. They support multi-touch gestures and also feature dictionary look-up integration and annotation. Students can highlight text, take notes and even create virtual note cards to reference later while studying.
Protect your iPad with the latest trend setting fashionable accessories that express your unique style! Discover an extensive array of award-wining design protective cases and skins deliver modern style, stunning design and smart protection. Make your mobile devices stand out. Customize your look - how cool can you be?
The books, which currently focus on high school-level subjects but will later expand to cover the entire K-12 curriculum, can cost up to $14.99, and Apple is working with publishing companies such as Pearson, McGraw Hill, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and DK Publishing to make it happen.
Students can enhance their mobility with accessories such as; stylus & pens, micro SD memory cards, batteries, docking stations, Bluetooth headsets, data cables and glider gloves all specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich
To create interactive textbooks and other digital books for the iPad, Apple has also introduced iBooks Author. The Mac application provides robust tools that let anyone build and publish interactive digital books for Apple's iBooks store. It has the same look and feel as Apple's iWork apps, and includes features like gallery support, 3D animation, video and interactive image support and more. Users can even insert custom Javascript or HTML5 code into eBooks using iBooks AuthorPaired with the fact that multiple universities have launched test programs for distributing iPads to students and this looks to be a recipe for success. And, when the iPad3 is released later this year, its predecessor will be that much more affordable and accessible to students.
Now we just have to worry about early-onset carpal tunnel and "texting thumb" syndromes. But even there, with the number of hands free technologies out there, students could easily address those issues as well with the simple purchase of a few key accessories. God bless innovation!

LISP's macros are extremely powerful constructs, and the inability to introspect and modify the program itself beyond the method signature level has always struck me as a limitation. Yet I favour "complex" syntax because it tends to be closer to natural language.
So far I have failed to find a language which combines a powerful macro mechanism such as LISP's with a naturally looking syntax (1). Is anyone aware of such a language?
- I would consider python to have a naturally looking syntax as it allows constructs like this:
if 0 < a < 5 and b in list. The avoidance of braces to structure blocks is irrelevant in this case, though.

Autumn Squash Salad
- 1 cup Vegetable Pickling Liquid
- Few thin ribbons Hubbard squash, skin on, cut on a mandoline
- 1 kabocha squash, cut into large wedges
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Healthy drizzle plus 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1 bunch Tuscan kale, stems removed
- 1 delicata squash, halved and cut into half-moons, then blanched in salted water for 30 seconds
- 1 watermelon radish, sliced paper-thin, plus greens
- Few slices jamón serrano, prosciutto, or cured country ham
- 1/4 cup toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- Leaves from 1 bunch fresh cilantro
Preheat the oven to 375°. Heat the pickling liquid over medium-high heat in a medium saucepan and add the Hubbard squash ribbons. Simmer until tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool in the liquid.
In a medium-sized roasting pan, toss the kabocha squash wedges with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Roast until tender, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
For the dressing, whisk together the vinegar, honey, and grated garlic in a bowl and slowly add the 1/4 cup olive oil until well mixed.
Here, our fingers are our best tools. Wash your hands and tear the kale into bite-sized pieces and distribute on a platter. Layer on the pickled Hubbard squash, roasted kabocha squash, blanched delicata squash, and the watermelon radish slices. Drizzle on the dressing, then gently run your fingers through the salad to distribute the dressing without breaking the delicate squash slices. Lace a few slices of ham over the top and scatter the toasted pumpkin seeds and cilantro.
