Southington's LUDICROUS SPEED, Ansonia, clocks, polls, notables, STORYTIME, etc. We're not telling you the word count anymore
Southington's speeds — light speed, ridiculous speed, ludicrous speed, and plaid.
There's were a few folks who said, "WHAT", when word got out that the CIAC planned on scheduling ALL eight of its semifinals at 2 p.m. next Saturday rather than playing a night game-or-two.
Eight games at one time mean one less game for us diehards to watch.
There's also the thought that playing eight at once might cost the CIAC $$$$ because football fans have to choose which game to attend and which to blow off.
Speaking from a selfish standpoint, it stretches the media thin, especially with UConn playing its season finale that afternoon at Rentschler.
Leroy Williams, the CIAC football committee chairman, said that data has shown that crowds haven't been as willing to show up for night games as they have for day games. Folks have been staying inside where it's warm because too few New Englanders can handle cold weather anymore.
(That last sentence is Polecat Worldwide's opinion. The opinions of Polecat Worldwide does not represent the opinions or views of Mister Williams, the CIAC or, generally, rational people. But if they were everyone's opinion, then they'd be damn good ones)
"We've seen that we do better with afternoon games than we do at night," Williams said. "That's the main reason. I'm like you — I'd love to see two games.
"We're not seeing a lot of people (going to two games). We seem to do better with just afternoon games."
Diehards still have a glimmer of hope, however — the CIAC might need to hold a night game because of site availability.
"We seem to do better with just afternoon games, but that's not a done deal yet," Williams said. "We have a number of teams willing to host games that still have a team in the tournament. We may have to go with a night game like we've done in the past. Maybe seven in the afternoon and one at night. It's not etched in stone yet."
So there you go.
Here's YOUR playoff schedule:
(All games Tuesday, 6:30 p.m.)
No. 8 Ridgefield (9-2) at No. 1 Newtown (12-0)
No. 5 Norwich Free Academy (8-2) at No. 4 Southington (9-1)

No. 8 Quinebaug Valley (9-2) at No. 1 Valley Regional/Old Lyme (11-0)

Southington's speeds — light speed, ridiculous speed, ludicrous speed, and plaid.
Norwich Free Academy junior defensive back Miles Joyner has gone from the junior varsity to an impact player on varsity.
Bacon Academy's players have finally started to believe in themselves. Head coach Erik Larka has become a believer, too, after his team beat Ledyard for the first time Saturday, 25-22.
It's not often that one gets to see a fullback in the wild anymore. It was one of the most mas macho positions in football and played and mastered by wrecking balls such as Bronko Nagurski, Marion Motley, Jim Brown and Lorenzo Neal.
East Catholic has the word "PRIDE" across the back of its jerseys above the numbers. There's been a lot of pride around the Eagles lately after some tough seasons. They hung on to beat Avon on Saturday, 22-20, one of their best...
Norwich Free Academy was forced out of nescessity to have junior quarterback Jawaun Johnson literally carry the offense during last Friday's 20-13 season-opening win over Waterford.
Windsor returned half of its CIAC Class L-Small championship team and was expected to dominate again this season. Instead, the Warriors had to shake off a suprisingly sluggish start (ALLITERATION) to beat Bristol Central last Saturday, 26-12.
Montville High School's veteran — and burly — offensive line took the pressure off their new starting backfield in Friday's 12-7, season-opening win over Stonington.
Oh, sweet and sexy football, how we dearly missed thee.

Demystifying background investigations: What you can expect when applying for a law enforcement job
While each department may conduct the background investigation a bit differently, there are many commonalities that apply to all criminal justice agencies
By Charles Russo, Professor of Criminal Justice at American Military University
For five years, I served as the background investigator at a county sheriff's department. After that, I was hired by a municipal police department and was immediately assigned as their background investigator for the next three years before finally escaping the office to return to road patrol.
Frequently, job seekers would ask me the same questions time and time again and it became apparent to me that no one had really taken the time to explain the background investigation process to individuals applying for jobs in law enforcement and corrections. While each department may conduct the background investigation a bit differently, there are many commonalities that apply to all criminal justice agencies.
Step 1: The Application Process
First you must decide to submit an application for a sworn position with an agency. If your application is incomplete, you may receive a letter saying so, along with another application packet to complete. However, in some agencies, the application is logged as incomplete and you will never hear from that agency again.

Re: TCM Genre movies schedule...
This week's
Green Hornet
chapters didn't handle the cliffhangers well at all. The resolution of last week's cliffhanger was what you'd expect -- they showed the part we didn't see before with the GH parachuting out of the crashing plane -- but in the subsequent two, the GH (with Kato in the second case) really was caught in the crash/explosion -- and just somehow happened to survive anyway, without explanation. That's weak.
But we did get confirmation that the car is called the Black Beauty here, although only in the opening text crawl. And we finally got to see an instance of the Hornet actually pretending to be a racketeer instead of just stumbling into the reputation, although only briefly.
I'm going to put the next bit in a spoiler box
pro forma
, even though I think it's obvious. It's about the identity of the mysterious "Chief" giving orders to the racketeers over the intercom:
There's no doubt in my mind that Monroe, the heavyset bad guy who keeps getting orders from the "Chief," is actually the Chief himself, and that "intercom" is just a tape recorder playing back prerecorded messages. That's the only way the "Chief" could always be there on cue just when Monroe wants him to be, and the only way he could know when to turn off the "intercom" without any cue that his "boss" was done speaking.

* Patients receiving PROCRIT pre-operatively for reduction of allogeneic
RBC transfusions: A higher incidence of deep venous thrombosis was
documented in patients receiving PROCRIT who were not receiving
prophylactic anticoagulation. Antithrombotic prophylaxis should be
strongly considered when PROCRIT is used to reduce allogeneic RBC
PROCRIT is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled hypertension or with known hypersensitivity to albumin (human) or mammalian cell-derived products.
Additional Important Safety Information
* Monitor Hb regularly during therapy, more frequently following a dosage
adjustment or until Hb becomes stable.
* Cases of pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) and of severe anemia, with or
without other cytopenias, associated with neutralizing antibodies to
erythropoietin have been reported in patients with chronic renal failure
receiving PROCRIT by subcutaneous administration. If any patient
develops a sudden loss of response to PROCRIT, accompanied by severe
anemia and low reticulocyte count, and anti-erythropoietin antibody-
associated anemia is suspected, withhold PROCRIT and other
erythropoietic proteins. Contact ORTHO BIOTECH (1-888-2ASKOBI or
1-888-227-5624) to perform assays for binding and neutralizing
antibodies. If erythropoietin antibody-mediated anemia is confirmed,
PROCRIT should be permanently discontinued and patients should not be
switched to other erythropoietic proteins.

patients with a known history of a seizure disorder or underlying

Great affordable product
Reviewed By Robinson A (TAMPA, FL) Reviewed for a 2013 Dodge Charger —10/6/2015 12:24 AM
Great affordable product, instead of me using a beach towel. This product covers the entire car seat, which I was happy to see/know. Will purchase one for passenger side when budget permits. Very happy with it. Can throw in washing machine when I need to.
Not perfect, but adequate
Reviewed By Patricia N (MOUNT RAINIER, MD) Reviewed for a 2012 BMW 3-Series —9/30/2015 5:09 AM
I transport my dogs frequently in my 2012 328i BMW coupe and wanted a seat cover that would be cooler in temperature than the black upholstery and was also easily removable for cleaning. This fits the bill on both counts. The fabric in contact with your back has a tendency to bunch, but not a huge deal. Also, the levers that allow the seat to tilt forward are a little hard to access with these covers on, but it's possible.

Lord, Please remember me in your kingdom -- The Lord spoke to Paul in a vision. Do not be afraid, keep on speaking, and do not be silent. For I am with you (Acts 18:9).---Come Holy Spirit.
For the next forty days, we will have opportunity after opportunity to discover just how gracious and merciful our heavenly Father is. We will also have countless opportunities to respond to his grace and mercy—through repentance, generosity, worship, forgiveness, and acts of service. So let's try our best to keep our hearts soft and open to the Lord, because that's when the changes really happen.
"Father, thank you for inviting me to come to you this Lent. By your Spirit, help me to soften my heart toward you and the people around me."
Amen...Wonderful post.
"Dear children! Also today, I am calling you to be prayer. May prayer be for you the wings for an encounter with God. The world is in a moment of trial, because it forgot and abandoned God. Therefore, you, little children, be those who seek and love God above all. I am with you and I am leading you to my Son, but you must say your 'yes' in the freedom of children of God. I intercede for you and I love you, little children, with an endless love. Thank you for having responded to my call."
August 2, 2015
"Dear children, I, as a mother who loves her children, see how difficult the time in which you live is. I see your suffering, but you need to know that you are not alone. My Son is with you. He is everywhere. He is invisible, but you can see Him if you live Him. He is the light, which illuminates your soul and gives you peace. He is the Church, which you need to love and to always pray and fight for - but not only with words, instead with acts of love. My children bring it about for everyone to come to know my Son, bring it about that He may be loved, because the truth is in my Son born of God - the Son of God. Do not waste time deliberating too much; you will distance yourselves from the truth. With a simple heart accept His word and live it. If you live His word, you will pray. If you live His word, you will love with a merciful love; you will love each other. The more that you will love; the farther away you will be from death. For those who will live the word of my Son and who will love, death will be life. Thank you. Pray to be able to see my Son in your shepherds. Pray to be able to embrace Him in them."

text: We stayed here as a base for touring wineries. The hotel is new ,clean and very pretty. The look is spanish style and tastefully done throughout. There is an office in the lobby that can book reservations for tours and lunches at nearby wineries- something you must have. After a busy day, relax by the beautiful lagoon pool with lush vegetation ( it looks free form but is cleverly laid out so that you can swim laps), work out in the fitness center or enjoy a spa treatment. We enjoyed tasty pisco sours and light lunch by the pool but were a little disappointed with dinner. The breakfast buffet however was outstanding. This hotel would shine anywhere, but in little Santa Cruz, it is brilliant.

Edwidge Danticat, the renowned Haitian-born author who immigrated to Brooklyn at age 12, will be returning to the borough to discuss "Haiti Noir 2" (Akashic Books; Jan. 7, 2014), a compilation of the writer's hand-picked selections from the canon of Haitian literature. The book is a follow-up to the widely acclaimed "Haiti Noir," which earned rave reviews from The New York Times, LA Times and other publications.
The State University of New York is denying that any "formal action" on a Long Island College Hospital real-estate deal will take place this week.
The State University of New York (SUNY) board of trustees is set to vote on Monday or Tuesday on a revised proposal to sell Long Island College Hospital (LICH), in Cobble Hill to Fortis Property Group, insiders have told The Brooklyn Eagle.
SUNY said it had no comment on the vote.
The SUNY board meeting takes place Monday and Tuesday in Albany.
Councilman Carlos Menchaca has already been officially sworn into office and has cast his first vote in the City Council.
But the freshman lawmaker is planning a public inauguration ceremony and has invited community leaders, business leaders and clergy members in his council district to see him take the oath of office on Sunday, Jan. 12, at Sunset Park High School, 153 35th St., at 1 p.m.
After months of design changes and stipulations, on Wednesday night Brooklyn's Community Board 6 gave its grudging blessing to zoning variances that would allow New York Methodist to build an oversized ambulatory care facility in Park Slope. The motion passed 27 to 4.
The vote came after CB 6's Landmarks/Land Use Committee gave its conditional approval on Monday.
Brooklyn Hospital Center's bid to buy Long Island College Hospital (LICH) and convert it to apartments and outpatient medical facilities, first reported in Crain's New York and confirmed by SUNY, has drawn vocal opposition from LICH supporters who have been fighting for a year to keep the beleaguered hospital in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn open.
An accused subject of prosecution whose case was covered by the cameras following the Brooklyn District Attorney's office for a television show is asking the network to provide all raw footage relating to his case, believing that the material will exonerate him.
Ambulance service to Long Island College Hospital in Cobble Hill was restored by midday on Thursday after it had been in the recovery room from the effects of an internal water leak on Wednesday around 7 p.m., according to a Fire Department spokesperson.
"There was a water leak inside LICH [Wednesday] night. FDNY ambulances were placed on diversion from approx 7 p.m. last night until 10 a.m. this morning," Frank Dwyer of the FDNY Press Office said on Thursday afternoon.
DUMBO has been good to Jared Della Valle.
The architect-developer's company Alloy Development sold out its luxury condo project, the DUMBO Townhouses, at the corner of Pearl and Water Streets for fat prices – and it's not much more than a hole in the ground.
And a former Brillo warehouse at 185 Plymouth St. that's being converted into eight loft-style condos with two new penthouses on top is long sold out as well.
Brooklyn Hospital Center confirmed late Wednesday a Crain's New York report that Brooklyn Hospital has put in a bid to buy Long Island College Hospital (LICH), with backing from private capital and a plan to build 1,000 mixed-income apartments.

|Cropping systems
Protein content
Grain yields
|Issue Date:
|University of Limpopo
|Field experiments were conducted at the University of Limpopo experimental farm, Syferkuil during 2005/06 and 2006/07 production seasons. This was initiated to examine the effect of leaf removal on cowpea biomass, protein content and grain yield under sole and binary cultures. Treatments consisted of cowpea varieties (Pan 311 and Red caloona), cropping systems (sole and intercropping) and cowpea-leaf pruning regimes (pruning and un-pruned). Sweet corn was planted, as a component crop in the intercropped plots while sole sweet corn plot was included as a treatment. All treatment combinations were laid out as Randomize complete block design (RCBD) with four replicates. Supplementary irrigation was carried out during the plant growth period. Fully expanded leaves were harvested once on all cowpea plants in the two middle rows from designated plots at seven weeks after planting for each year. Growth and yield data were collected from component crops during the course of the trial while the protein content of harvested leaves and immature pods as well as the different cowpea plant parts at harvest were determined. Results of the study revealed that leaves of cowpea variety, Pan 311 harvested prior to the reproductive stage had significantly higher protein content than those of Red caloona. Protein content of immature Pan 311 pods had higher (18.8 to 25.1%) than Red caloona (17.9 to 20.7%) during both planting seasons. The percent protein content of cowpea stem obtained at harvest for Pan 311 varied between 9.3 and 9.4%, and between 9.9 and 12.3% for Red caloona during both planting seasons. Grain yield obtained for Pan 311 and Red caloona were 1703.7 kg ha-1 and 1479.8 kg ha-1, respectively during 2005/06 and 1290.7 kg ha-1 and 511.7 kg ha-1 respectively during 2006/07 planting seasons. Sweet corn intercropped with Red caloona during both planting seasons had higher average grain yield than when intercropped with Pan 311. Although intercropping decreased the partial land equivalent ratio (LER) value of individual component crops, the combined LER values of between 1.1 and 2.3 under intercrop for the different treatment combinations implies that the practice is advantageous. The results of post harvest soil analyses revealed that topsoil has the pH value of 7.11-7.29 indicating neutral soil while subsoil pH value of 6.27-6.91 indicated slightly acidic to neutral soil during both planting seasons. Based on the findings of this study, cowpea variety Pan 311 can be recommended as a better vegetable crop than Red caloona since it has higher leaf and immature pod protein content. It also had higher grain yield than Red caloona when intercropped with sweet corn. Sweet corn had high grain yield when intercropped with Red caloona than when intercropped with Pan 311. Keywords: Cropping systems, protein content, grain yields, leaf pruning and cowpea.

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
A look at Switzerland's entrenched gun culture
Daniel Lak | 29 Mar 2013 12:57 GMT | US & Canada, Canada, United States
Shoal Lake, Ontario - Health worker Linda Redsky sits at her kitchen table, remembering when she almost drowned bringing groceries back from the market.
With no roads to her community in western Ontario, she had to walk across the frozen surface of Shoal Lake, a sprawling body of water just north of the Canada-United States border.
She and her husband Wyne were walking back to their home on the lakeshore when they heard loud cracks all around them. "I went completely under the ice," she says, her voice trembling. "I remember looking up and it was like a moment of clarity. "I could see the hole I'd fallen through, I could see stars in the sky and I was sinking."
But Wyne grabbed her hand and pulled her to safety. They kept each other warm until help came, and it wasn't the first time that the couple had rescued each other.
"At times like that I hate living here," said Redsky. "It's beautiful in summer, but I hate those trips across the ice."
Cut off
The Redskys live in an indigenous First Nation community, known as Shoal Lake 40. Though they're just a dozen kilometres from the Trans-Canada highway and a few hours' drive from a major city, their community had been cut off from Canada's transport network for 100 years.
This isolation has been part of a long-running dispute that many First Nations people believe is emblematic of their troubled relations with the Canadian state.
In 1913, the city of Winnipeg - about 180km to the west - got the Canadian government to evict the people of Shoal Lake from their lakeside village so they could build a fresh water intake for a growing urban population.
Then the city dug a canal to keep the water clean. That canal turned the new Shoal Lake settlement into an island, cutting off the inhabitants from the forests, trade routes, roads and railroad lines all around them.
"We were blockaded," said the elected chief of Shoal Lake, Erwin Redsky. "It's manmade isolation. We're not really remote. We can hear the traffic on the Trans-Canada [highway] and hear the trains go by."
In January, that isolation came to a temporary end with the opening of what Chief Redsky calls "Freedom Road". Only open in winter, the road crosses a steel bridge that Chief Redsky demanded for years to end his community's reliance on the often-dangerous ice crossing over Shoal Lake.
"To us it's freedom, at least for now and until we build a permanent link. No more danger when the ice is thin," he says. "People have been just driving on the road for no reason, just to see what it's like."
Tom Ross helped build Freedom Road. He's an experienced heavy equipment operator and despite being in his 70s, he didn't miss a day's work as the road was cut through forest, swamp and rock.
"It was like Alcatraz here," he says, laughing. "You couldn't get off the island, but now everybody's free to go and come, anytime."
But Shoal Lake's problems are far from over. There are few jobs and even the lake's abundant fish and mineral-bearing rocks can't be exploited, because of the City of Winnipeg's insistence that no development take place near the source of its drinking water. Once-vibrant gold mines and commercial fishing have closed.
Selling Shoal Lake's water
Now Winnipeg has big plans for its century-old water supply. A project to install central Canada's largest inland port and a proposal to sell Shoal Lake Water to surrounding municipalities has given Chief Redsky an opportunity to call attention to his community's plight.
He and his fellow councillors have opposed the use of Shoal Lake water in these new schemes and have managed to get them delayed, if not stopped.
Treaties between the British colonial government and Canada's First Nations explicitly allot water rights to aboriginal communities, and Chief Redsky intends to press that claim in the courts and international tribunals if necessary.
"Water is sacred to us, to all life, and our treaties call for the water to be shared. So why is only one community - Winnipeg - benefitting from this resource and not all of us?" the chief asks. "We'll do what it takes to share this benefit."
Shoal Lake people, he points out, have to drink bottled water because they have no purification plant.
The City of Winnipeg isn't commenting on the case while the legal ramifications are studied, but city officials have reached out to Chief Redsky, and even helped fund Freedom Road. The provincial governments of Ontario and Manitoba have also been offering limited support to the chief's struggle.
What hasn't been forthcoming, says the chief, is support from Canada's federal government, which has constitutional jurisdiction over First Nations affairs. Chief Redsky says he's still waiting for a substantive reply to a letter sent in January to Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Some members of his community, he says, are tired of waiting for Ottawa or some other government to resolve their grievances. With an eye to the recent Idle No More protests and hunger strikes, they're looking to take matters into their own hands.
"We're a point now in terms of our relationship with Canada. We're at a crossroads where there's a road to reconciliation and a road to confrontation.
"We prefer reconciliation, we prefer sharing our resources, consultation, as promised in our treaties," Chief Redsky says, leaving it clear - if unsaid - that confrontation cannot be ruled out.

Sitter in 7 portraits
Public servant; often remembered as 'the Red Duchess' , in 1923 she became the first woman member from Scotland elected to the House of Commons. As a self-proclaimed crusader against international cruelty, she visited Spain and became actively involved in the care of Republican refugees. Her open criticism of the Conservative government's toleration of Franco cost her her position as party whip.

I worked at Adnet Systems full-time (Less than a year)
The job gave me something to do. I helped capture two concurrent 8a set aside contracts. I got a chance to establish and maintain 5 computer networks some UNIX based and some Windows based.
Customer (DOL) was too demanding for the caliber of workers I was allowed to hire. I had over 90 employees, but few were well qualified. Many were legacy from the previous 8a contract that were rehired for ours. All hires were subject to dollar ceilings that were unrealistically low. In many (most) cases, I was forced to hire employees that were foreigners where his DOL job was the first job the they in he US.
Advice to Management
Care should be taken when you undertake any wage and hour contract. You cannot perform with marginal or substandard personnel.

"You can't always get what you want . . ." The Rolling Stones will soon be singing this refrain at venues around the world, as they embark on a year-long concert tour in August.
This song, now decades old, addresses a universal truth. Here's the rest of the refrain:
You can't always get what you want . . .
But if you try sometimes
You just might find
You get what you need.
What is it that you really wanted and didn't get? The affections of a person who was with someone else? That dream job? The last cinnamon-raisin bagel snapped up by the customer in front of you?
These scenarios range from trivial to potentially life-changing, but they all have one thing in common:
Here are three reasons why this is so:
1. Heightened attention: When something is hard to get (or forbidden) you immediately pay more attention to it. Notice that when you are on a restricted diet, you sometimes get too focused on what you "can't" eat. This heightened attention -- which can escalate into obsession -- makes the forbidden food seem very important. Your inner brat takes advantage of this, and tries to convince you that you MUST have that chocolate or pizza.
2. Perceived scarcity: When something is scarce or in short supply, its perceived value increases. You want it more because you think other people also want it. If you've ever bid at auctions or on eBay, you know the experience of that last-minute excitement as you watch the bids spiral upward. The more people who bid, the more you're willing to pay for the item. Your inner brat wants it at any price.
3. "Psychological Reactance": People don't like to be told they can't have or can't do something. It's related to not wanting to be controlled by others, especially if the situation feels unfair or arbitrary. The "reactance" is both emotional and behavioral.
The emotional part is your inner brat saying, "Oh yeah? I can't have what I want? Just try and stop me!"
The behavioral component is what you do about it, which usually involves some type of rebellious reaction. You see this with teenagers whose parents have forbidden them to date certain people. Reactance also explains why a "Wet Paint" sign always invites unwanted fingerprints on the newly painted surface.
Next time you don't get what you want, ask yourself whether one of the above factors has influenced your desire. If so, let go of the pursuit. Your inner brat won't be happy, but ultimately (in the words of the Rolling Stones,) you "might just find [that] you get what you need."
