Success Story: Molly – Migraines & The Hauser Diet
Molly had been battling migraines for over ten years when she came to see us. They started to intensify just months before, occurring more frequently and accompanied with vomiting. She had visited the emergency room on more than one occasion and was taking injections and an oral medication for the migraines and associated nausea. Additionally, she was having trouble sleeping, low energy, struggling with irritability and had gained 20 pounds in one year.
When she came to Caring Medical for help, Dr. Hauser discussed a number of options. He told her that one or more of the following typically causes migraines: neck tenderness or injury, hormone imbalance, and incorrect diet. He talked at length about each of these causes and stressed the importance of a correct diet plan to provide the body with the right tools to heal.
Diet Typing, Food Sensitivity, Hormone Testing
Molly agreed to pursue Diet Typing in order to figure out the diet plan that would best support her physiology. She also had food sensitivity testing and hormone testing, which are blood tests done in our office. She was recommended a number of supplements to help with her many troubles. Dr. Hauser told her that it may take up to six months to completely heal, but Molly knew that it would be worth it to correct ten years of awful migraines.
When Molly met with our diet coach, the first thing they reviewed was Molly's current diet. She tended to eat food that required little to no preparation like bagels with cream cheese, burgers and fries, and meat with beans. She drank 60oz of water each day, but she also consumed Gatorade, soda, diet green tea, and 16oz of coffee every morning. These types of foods and beverages were not the best choices for Molly's Diet Type, which turned out to be the Otter Diet. Molly was a fast oxidizer with acidic blood pH.
The carbohydrates and sugar-drinks only exacerbated her blood sugar swings and attributed more to her acidic blood pH. With this unbalanced physiology, it was no wonder Molly was experiencing all of the problems that she was – her migraines, low energy, trouble sleeping, irritability, and weight gain could all be attributed to her imbalanced physiology!
On top of her Diet Typing results, we also found out that Molly had quite a few food allergies – gluten, dairy, and beans were some of her worst allergens. After help from our diet coach, Molly had a solid understanding of the Otter Diet and her food allergies.
Over the next few weeks, Molly made an effort to change her diet. She was also prescribed natural hormone replacement to help balance her hormones. After two months, Molly was noticing some great improvements. Not only had the frequency of her migraines significantly reduced, she had also lost eight pounds. After three months on her new diet plan, hormone replacement, and supplements, Molly called us to tell us that she was completely migraine free and was feeling great. She had no complaints and was thrilled with the changes she had seen in just three months.
We were glad to see that Molly had reached her "normal" self again and we keep in touch to be sure that she is still symptom-free. Molly is the perfect example of someone who embraced her new diet plan and recommended course of action to find relief of symptoms that had plagued her for so long. If you've been ignoring your own symptoms for too long, and want to get to the bottom of what's really going on, just make an appointment!

I have a confession to make.
Doing good or social action was always something I believed in, but not always something I participated in.
I remember being young, probably in elementary school, and watching the Jerry Lewis telathon. I asked my parents if I could contribute some of my own money. But other than that, my experience related to doing good as a child, young adult, and even until a few years ago has been more about participating in food-clothing-book drives or giving money when I could. But there was never a feeling in my stomach that ignited a drive to do more.
Except that somewhere along my journey as a mom, as a cancer survivor, as a woman trying to find her own purpose, I realized that it was not enough to stand on the sideline as an occasional participant.
If I wanted my daughter to understand what it means to give back, she needed to see me doing it intentionally instead of haphazardly.
If I wanted as a survivor to help create a world with less cancer, I could not just sit back and hope that research and support for patients would be funded on their own.
If I wanted to find my purpose I could not just sit back and be involved in the organizations my friends were involved in without thinking about my own passions.
So I started being intentional. Focusing my efforts. Talking about what giving back and social action mean. And I realized that social action is actually a core part of my being…because being involved in social action means fostering self-sufficiency in others. By giving back in meaningful ways, whether of our time, our voice, our money, or our actions, we are giving others the tools they need to build sustainable progress.
Because, you see, I am picky about my social action. I would much rather use my voice in a way that will teach something or provide a starting point for an individual as opposed to offering a drop in the bucket that they are not sure how to maintain.
I suppose that is what I loved about being a teacher. I saw myself merely as a facilitator of learning for both the students and the educators and parents that I worked with.
Which is why I support causes and efforts like More Birthdays, Shot@Life, and the work of Bloggers4Haiti with every fiber of my being.
I know there are people out there who question the effort and the impact. Does money really go where it is supposed to go? Does one person really make a difference? The truth is that each of us has the power to be enough by just getting involved. The fact that I wrote a post last week that on its own will give 231 children a Shot@Life because of the individual people who took the time to write a simple comment? The fact that my post is part of the bigger Blogust campaign to give 10,000 children the vaccines they need? Yes, it is enough.
And the fact that more can always be done? Instead of being discouraged, I am inspired by knowing there is more to do. That we have a chance to make an impact every day. Some days the impact will be small. Some days it will be big. But hopefully, each impact is teaching one more person to fish – independently, successfully, and for a very long time.
It is more than enough.
What about you? What cause do you hold close to your heart? How do you teach others to fish?
ps….You can make a difference too, with a simple comment in the Blogust relay. Day 20 is being hosted by Julie Marsh. Go read, comment, and give a child a Shot@Life.

Antonio Citterio AC 4 Chairfor VitraWith its slender profile and reductive form, AC 4 sets a new direction in the development of office and conference chairs. Up until now, task chairs have visually emphasized either comfort or functionality; AC 4 integrates its ergonomic features discreetly. There is no longer a contradiction between elegance, functionalism and comfort. This chair stands in the tradition of designs by Antonio Citterio, who has always understood design as a synergy between form and performance, as a contemporary expression of timeless creative conception.
The structural sophistication in the backrest, which allows for a flexible range of movement, is visually concealed with meticulous detailing. The backrest is actually divided into three sections with distinct internal functions: The lumbar zone, which supports the lower back, transitions into a flexible zone for the upper back to sink into, followed by a section with stronger support for the shoulders. What one sees is elegant simplicity; what one feels is comfort.
With its unusual construction, AC 4 blazes a new trail, leaving behind both massive upholstered chairs and "sitting machines" with mesh slings.
The technical features of AC 4 are neither put on display, nor are they hidden beneath foam padding. In a choice of fabric or leather, the cover is stretched over the articulated frame of the chair and stabilized with distinctive stitched darts. This reductive approach to design requires developmental precision in every detail.
Antonio Citterio, who has collaborated with Vitra since the mid-1980s, regards this design as the next logical step in his series of office chairs from AC 1 to AC 3. Citterio says that he has always had the aim of creating a straightforward and decisively reductive chair. The result is an emblematic object that combines an elegant aura with uncompromising functionality.
The technical features of AC 4 include seat depth adjustment, a synchronized range of movement with automatic adaptation of backrest resistance to the sitter's weight and a fine-adjustment device. The armrests of the office task chair are individually adjustable in three directions: height, width and tilt. The conference chair, which does not have a lumbar support zone, is equipped with aluminium ring armrests.
At first glance, AC 4 appears to have affinities with the Aluminium Group by Charles and Ray Eames, which was designed 50 years ago. "There is undoubtedly a connection between them", says Vitra Chairman Rolf Fehlbaum. "But the Eames world is a different one. They were not very interested in adjustment options, which are now standard features in office chairs. From a technological standpoint, the two models have almost nothing in common. What they share is the ideal of lightness."
Scheduled to be available during Q1 2009

Seven Truck Teams Test At Martinsville
MARTINSVILLE, Va. — Five NASCAR Camping World Truck Series teams tested two full days at Martinsville Speedway in preparation for the Kroger 250 April 6. Two more teams joined the fray on Wednesday for a one-day test.
"We had a test agenda for these two days and we've tried a lot of different things," said Jeff Hensley, crew chief for Miquel Paludo. "We haven't found a lot of speed, but we've gotten better on the long runs. We've found some speed, but mostly we're working on consistency.
"This should help us a bunch when we come back here in two weeks."
The seven drivers testing included Paludo, defending NASCAR Camping World Series champion James Buescher, rookie-of-the-year candidate Jeb Burton, Chase Elliott, former Martinsville winner Scott Riggs, Bryan Silas and Caleb Holman.
For Elliott, who will make about 10 truck series starts for Hendrick Motorsports this season, the two-day test was a cram session. He had never turned a lap on the difficult .526.-mile oval before Tuesday.
"I've learned a lot … I don't know if there's enough paper for you to write down everything I learned," Elliott, son of former Sprint Cup champion Bill Elliott, said late in Tuesday's session. "I've learned a lot of what not to do. But a big thing is that I've built confidence here for when we come back.
"I've learned you've got to take care of your brakes, but you've got to go fast, too. The guys that are good here … that's what they can do. That's what I've got to learn to do better."
Riggs's first career truck series win came here at Martinsville in 2001 and he was very comfortable back behind the wheel Wednesday.
"We need a couple more pieces of the puzzle. We came here with a different truck than we ran here last fall. It's a brand new truck, a little lighter," explained Riggs. "We knew we were going to be behind a bit because we didn't have everything ready for this truck but it was still a worthwhile trip. We got better as the day went on. Anytime that you get to test on the track you are going to race on, it's a good test."

I'd like to display a list of products for a certain category, sorted by the post_excerpt. The original code I used was this:
$args = array(
'tax_query' => array(
'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => array( 'my-product-category' ),
'operator' => 'IN'
'orderby' => 'post_excerpt',
'order' => 'ASC'
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
This displays the products, but the orderby is ignored in a taxonomy query. So I've changed the query to:
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'product',
'orderby' => 'post_excerpt',
'order' => 'ASC',
'product_cat' => 'My Product Category',
'post_status' => 'publish'
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
The products are displayed, but the orderby clause is still ignored.

Are you busy and not having enough time to effectively utilize the idle money in the savings bank account?. Then, this article would provide you a useful tips to utilize the auto-sweep facility available in most of the banks to maximize the returns for your idle money. This article explains about the auto-sweep facility and pros and cons of that feature. This would be perfect for the person with busy schedule and not able use the fund sitting in the savings bank account. If you have any doubts, please post it in the comments section. Subscribe to our future articles here.
What is auto-sweep facility in savings bank account?
Auto sweep facility combines the benefit of savings bank account and fixed deposit account. It is normal case where most of the people have huge amount in the savings bank account for the long time which earns meagerly 4% p.a. The intention or benefit of this facility is to attain the high degree of liquidity in your savings bank account with maximum returns.
This facility has the threshold amount of certain limit, if you have the excess of the threshold amount in the account, this facility automatically move the excess amount into the fixed deposit. It earns the highest interest rates then in the savings bank account. Auto Sweep is the common term used to mention this scheme, but different banks has different scheme which you can read out in the next section.
How it works?
If you have a savings bank account and the cut-off amount for the auto sweep is set as Rs.25000, when you have excess amount in the account, it will be moved to the fixed deposit with the higher interest rates. The feature of this facility is different from each bank and cut-off amount also will be different. There may be minimum sweep amount will be specified in the some banks. The following are the steps explaining how it works:
- You have savings or current account.
- This account must be enabled with the auto sweep facility. Note that the name of the scheme is different for each bank. The following are the list of scheme names for few banks:
- Axis Bank – Encash 24
- Axis Bank – Encash 24
- Union Bank – Union Flexi Deposit
- HDFC Bank – Super Saver Facility
- Bank of India – BOI Savings Plus Scheme
- Oriental Bank of Commerce – Flexi Fixed Deposit Scheme
- State Bank of India – Multi Option Deposit Scheme
- Allahabad Bank – Flexi-fix Deposit
- Bank of Maharashtra – Mixie Deposit Scheme
- Corporation Bank – Money Flex
- United Bank of India – United Bonanza Savings Scheme
- IDBI Bank – Sweep-in Savings Account
- Each bank has their won threshold amount to enable the auto sweep facility.
- The tenure of the fixed deposit booked would be different from each bank. For example, SBI allows the fixed deposit from 1-5 years where as AXIS bank allows maximum of 181 days.
- If the savings account lacks of the minimum balance after withdrawing the money or lack of money to clear any cheques, the fixed deposit will be broken and move the fund to savings bank.
Advantages of auto sweep facility
- You need not worry on idle cash on the savings bank account.
- Amount in savings bank will be effectively utilized to earn more income.
- Banks automatically park the amount to high interest rates.
- This would be very good option for those who do very less transaction in the savings bank and have the excess amount.
Dis Advantages of auto sweep facility
- There may be service charges applicable to the transactions. Before opening the auto sweep facility, read the instructions carefully.
- This facility will not be suitable for those who do lot of transactions in the savings account.
- When you have multiple FDs created, the order of breaking the FDs might affect the returns. Few banks first break the low earning FDs then will move to the high interest rates.
Auto Sweep facility is must have for the account holders who have the excess amount in the savings bank account for long time. It is observed that huge number of professionals who are salaried get their monthly salary on their savings bank account. But, they left un-utilized for the months which kept idle. This facility will benefit you lot to earn higher interest rates. If you have any doubts, please post it in the comments section.

Rod, newsletter of the Little
Rhody Bottle Club
Pawtuxet Village has, for 350
years, had it's share of colorful characters; in
particular was Perry Davis. Born in Dartmouth,
Massachusetts in 1791, he came from a poor family;
he was crippled at an early age, and by the time he
was 14, he was apprenticed as a
A few decades later, Perry
Davis's name was more widely known than that of any
other citizen of Rhode Island, and his face was
familiar throughout the world. In crowded India, in
Africa, on remote sheep farms in Australia, his
name was a household word.
For many years, Davis barely
eked out a living for his family, moving from city
to city. Arriving in Pawtucket in 1828, he became
an inventor, having designed an improved grain
grinding mill. He was now 47, still poor and lame,
but an ambition burned within him. His invention
failed, owing to hard economic times, and he fell
ill and did not expect to recover.
"I told my wife," he said,
"that she could not expect to have me with her much
longer. A cold settled on my lungs. A hard cough
ensued, with pains in my side. My stomach soon
became sore, my digestive organs became weak,
consequently my appetite failed; my kidneys had
become affected. The canker in my mouth became
troublesome, etc., etc."
"I searched the globe in my
mind's eye for a cure during my illness and
selected the choicest gums and healing herbs. These
were carefully compounded creating a medicine to
soothe the nerves and a balm to heal the body. I
commenced using my new discovered medicine with no
hope other than handing me gently to the
Instead he was cured!! By
that time, he was in debt to the tune of $4500, and
his assets were three cents and the recipe for the
elixir. To become a medicine manufacturer he needed
money to purchase components, bottles, labels, etc.
He was able to raise $24.50 by selling his horse,
wagon, and harness. With this fund he assembled a
batch of medicine to try the Boston market. But the
stuff wouldn't sell, and in desperation he gave
much of it away to poor people.
In the latter part of the
summer of 1843 he carried a batch of medicine to
sell at the Pawtuxet fair. Established by the Rhode
Island Society for the Encouragement of Domestic
Industry in 1820, the fair was highly popular,
drawing crowds from all over New
The fair grounds were located
in the village of Pawtuxet, bounded on the east by
Fair Street, on the south by South Fair and the
north by North Fair Streets. The fair mansion
displayed the most up-to-date agricultural
equipment, wares, and produce. It remains today and
is known as the "Bay Winds", built in 1820 by
William G. Budlong and his son, Anthony, for James
Rhodes, first president of the society.
It was here that Perry Davis
set up his stand at the entrance to the fair
grounds. That day proved to be the turning point.
Some people believed what he told them about the
merits of his medicine and one person with a pain
in his stomach was bold enough to try it. The
patient declared he had instant relief.
By 1844 he purchased a
building on Pond Street in Providence making his
medicine on a factory scale. An outbreak of cholera
occurred in Asia. Soon cases of Davis' medicine
were shipped with every Baptist missionary bound
for India and China.
Another occurrence which
helped make the Davis fortune was the Civil War.
During the rebellion the factory was seized by the
United States Government in 1861 to make medicine
not only for the soldiers but for the army's
horses. The medicine was considered "good for man
or beast."
By the time Perry Davis died
in 1862, his fame was worldwide. The wrapper of
every bottle or his medicine carried a woodcut
image of the maker. He was only a visitor in
Pawtuxet, and the visit was brief, but he has been
adopted by the village as one of her most notable

joined him in the business and the company became

Providence. When Perry passed away in 1862, Edmund
continued the company his father had
In 1867, Edmund moved the
company to 78 High Street and in 1871 took in Mrs.
Sarah D. Dennis as a partner. They relocated the
company to 136 High Street.
When Edmund died in 1880, his
son, Edmund W. Davis took over the company. One
year later he took in another partner, Horace S.
Bloodgood. Mrs. Dennis also died that year and the
company moved to 594 Westminister Street after her
death. The company was still called Davis & Son
throughout this entire period.
A few years later, Bloodgood
retired, leaving the internationally known company
with offices at 380 St. Paul Street, Montreal,

Perry Davis & Son left

York City. Edmund remained in Rhode Island, living
in Narragansett.

Miami Marlins unveil Billy the Marlin makeover; Ozzie Guillen in ESPN The Mag
As part of the franchise re-branding, Billy the Marlin got a makeover as well. Here's what Billy looks like now:
Manager Ozzie Guillen is featured in ESPN The Magazine's Interview Issue. I've included the cover shot below for those of you who haven't seen it. Wednesday, ESPN baseball analyst Tim Kurkijan revealed some excerpts of his interview with Guillen. A couple of his quotes:
*"I like our owner, Jeffrey Loria. I've told him he can ask me anything about baseball. If he doesn't like the answer, I couldn't care less."
*"I want everyone with the Marlins to know I'm not who people think I am. People say, "Ozzie Guillen is the guy who throws players under the bus." I never throw a player under the bus if he's playing the right way. If he isn't doing the job, don't blame the player, blame me. I played the guy. But if he isn't doing the little things to help us win a game, I will criticize him."
*"I've had Hall of Fame players. I've had superstar players. I know how to talk to them. As far as Hanley Ramirez is concerned, I told him, "All I want from you is to have a smile on your face, to play the right way and to show everyone how good you are." The feedback I got from some people there is that he can be immature. But I don't blame him. I blame the people around him. So we will start with a program. I'll respect him; he'll respect me."
*"For now, Ramirez is my shortstop. When a guy produces like that offensively, you keep him at shortstop. But if he can't play there, we'll move him someday. Not to centerfield — to third base."
*"When I negotiated my contract with the Marlins, there were no guarantees about payroll. I never stick my nose into that business. Just give me 25 players, and I'll make it work. Don't just spend money for the sake of spending money. Don't throw money at a player because he has a big name."

The other day I recieved a pocket Constitution in the mail from The Cato Institute and considered mailing it to my Representative. After 30 seconds I realized that wouldn't work cause he wouldn't read it anyways. I scanned through it and in the 2nd paragraph of the Declaration of Independence it states that to secure the rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness "Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes obstructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it"
So I wanna throw this out there, if you're upset about the Arizona immigration law, the health care law, the wars, the out of control social programs and police state, why do you continue to consent?
Why are those that do not consent, do not participate in the government, why are we looked down upon? I get some of the nastiest looks and comments when I talk about not paying taxes or even something simple like not participating in the Census.
I recieved a letter yesterday stating that my house "not me personally" was selected to participate in the American Community Survey and promptly threw it in the recycle bag. I do not consent to their control over me, I do not consent to their words on paper, I do not consent to their traffic tickets and citations, I do not consent to anything they do.
Why am I and many others looked down upon? I have a simple question for everyone.
Would you advocate the use of force on someone to achieve your goal? No? Congratulations, you're an anarchist.

I've configured Mail.app, to use a IMAP server (dovecot).
I'm connecting to this IMAP server through several devices. However whenever I read a mail from another comps than my Mac, unless I click Synchronize "account", the mails I've read on other devices, and who have been found by Mail.app, before I read them, stay in the unread state.
Is there a way to get a real synchronization of the mails status (it's supposed to be a benefit of IMAP) ?
P.S: when going into a folder, then the unread count is updated. But I have to manually go to that folder to have the correct unread count.

You can use a plain square in the center of the block or a Kaleidoscope square.
For a better look, variate the size of the center square (well, I did that because I didn't have enough fabric but it was a clever option !).

Now, the L after the first RewriteRule should end processing and redirect it to the subdomain+tag URL, but it doesn't. For example, fr.domain.com/tag/movies is sent to catch.php?country=fr, which is the last condition in the .htaccess file.
Shouldn't it stop after the first L found?
thanks in advance, cheers
well, it turns out that the [L] flag works differently depending on the context (.htaccess/<directory> different from httpd.conf) as you can see here.
So, to make it work just place the rules inside the <VirtualHost> (NOT <Directory>) and add a '/' to every URI (/catch.php, /tag, ...). That's it.

Company advertisers and magazines have taken heat for Photoshopping models to make them look thinner. Now, this latest Photoshop fail is courtesy of Target and appears to show some strange new obsession with chopping out the crotches of young models.
Tuesday, Target had some explaining to do about its "interesting" choices when it comes to size and body image. The company posted a model in a swimsuit with the crotch cut out and part of her arm missing.
The Photoshopping errors look like a result of trying to make the models appear thinner than they are, thus portraying an unrealistic body.
Even more disturbing, these suits are from the companies Junior line, marketed to young girls.
People have come forward expressing their disgust with Target and pointed out that the companies website is full of Photoshopped models and errors.
In response to the comments Target issued a statement saying it was "an unfortunate error on our part".
"We apologise and are working to address the issue on our site," Target said in a statement.

I never delete a file, which I shot with any of my cameras.
Really... never!
Unlike most photographers I save every missed shot, every test, every blurred smudge and every completely psychedelic exposure. And honestly, quite a few good shots come from that!
So I have decided to collect a bunch of these misses from my photo archive and make them into this odd little book.
I am an avid fly fisher and photographer and co-founder and webmaster of the web site The Global FlyFisher. I now work as a self-employed web consultant, but used to do computer magazines as writer and editor-in-chief.

Yeah, Danes are kinda mental... but in a nicely controlled and civilized manner.
And you may be right that this type of photography is too much of a good (bad?) thing.
I really don't know... But I was at least pleasantly surprised by my own mishaps once I started looking at them as useful images.
If you want something of mine, which is not blurred, badly exposed or downright crazy, just check out my regular work: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1453229

I see people deleting images all immediately after shooting and reviewing them on the display on the back of the camera, never giving the image a chance.
It's too bad, because many of their missed shots are actually better than their "good" ones... ;-)

There are times when you may feel like you are handing on by a thread and other times when everything you do or happens in a day goes smoothly.
Now we aren't talking about stress specifically but there are some things that occur on any given day that can cause a little stress, frustration or embarrassment that is easily avoided with just one drop.
That is if you have a bottle of clear nail polish handy. This is an item that women should carry in their purses or kept in a desk drawer that the rest of the household knows where to locate it in case they need just one drop to fix a few things themselves.
Ways a single drop of clear nail polish can save the day and not leave you hanging:
- If you have a button that seems to be coming loose and it would be embarrassing if it fell off because of where it is situated then place a drop of clear nail polish on the threads to prevent them from fraying more and possibly falling off before you get home to a sewing kit to fix it properly.
- Women who wear panty hose already know the secret to preventing a run from running rampant down their hose. This is a great trick to relay to your daughters so they can salvage the pair they are wearing or when a mishap happens can prevent it from becoming worse. Just a drop of clear nail polish will stop a run from continuing on. Just be sure to let it dry before pulling the area away from your leg since the polish will also adhere to your skin during the process.
- Children seem to in the course of all their activities have a way of fraying shoe laces making them impossible to lace back into the eyelets if they pull out. A simple trick is to dip the ends in clear nail polish, let it dry and then your worries are over since the polish seals the ends from unraveling.
- If you are a fan or costume jewelry and sometimes experience some irritation from the posts or earring backs just brush on some clear nail polish, let it dry completely and they will no longer be a bother.
- If you wear eyeglasses and have stripped the area where the itty bitty screw is located and they always seem loose make a temporary fix with some clear nail polish until you can get to the eye doctor or store to get the arm of your glasses replaced.
- Now if you really are stressed and need a little down time and enjoy the look of polished nails now is the time to take that time and relax with a self-manicure. It is also relaxing and fun to place some polish on your daughters nails too and make it girl time to get away from what was bothering you while sharing some stories with your little girl.
Just one little drop can do a lot!

Henry John Steiner is the village historian of Sleepy Hollow, New York.
The following column was written in April, 2005 and revised slightly in February, 2008 . A complete annotated version of the 2005 article is in the collections of the Historical Society Serving Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown.
A Little Pale Blue-eyed Man
A stroll through the Old Dutch Burying Ground of Sleepy Hollow triggers questions, and the questions trigger stories. Near the maintenance shed of the burial ground is the grave of a Civil War general. The old burying ground shelters the remains of many soldiers, but few generals.
General Adam Badeau was raised in Beekmantown—that part of Sleepy Hollow which today forms the inner village. Descended from French Huguenots, Badeau was born in New York City in 1831. His parents later moved to Beekmantown and owned one of the three most imposing homes in that sprouting little suburb. In the 1840s, we find Adam a student at the Irving Institute, which had just been established a few years before.
The father, Nicholas William Badeau, is referred to as Dr. Badeau in at least one source. He and his eldest son endured much personal loss in Adam's early years: An infant daughter, Alise died in 1848, then fourteen-year-old Edgar (1849). It appears that Jane, Adam's mother, died in childbirth (1849), her infant daughter, Deborah, died seven months later (1850). Nineteen-year-old John Wesley died in 1860 and N. W., Jr. in 1862.
Grant and Badeau
Adam was an intelligent, well-educated young man when he left Beekmantown, about 1856. He went to work in New York as a theater critic for a Sunday paper, and, in 1859, his compilation of his theatre reviews was published, entitled, The Vagabond. The book demonstrates a refined knowledge of literature and an intimate familiarity with the leading actors of that day.
At the outset of the Civil War, Adam Badeau served as a clerk at the state department. He then accompanied a military expedition to Port Royal, South Carolina, as a reporter for the New York Express. It is said that during this period he coined the expression "the New South." He then volunteered as a Union officer and was appointed to the staff of Major-General Thomas W. Sherman. By April 1862, Adam Badeau had risen to the rank of captain.
About one year later, Lt.-Colonel James Wilson, a member of General Grant's staff, suggested that Badeau would make a fine military secretary for Grant. Wilson described him as a "short, stoop-shouldered, red-headed fellow who wore glasses." Grant remembered seeing, "a little pale, blue-eyed man, who wore spectacles and looking like a bent fo'-pence." Badeau was duly ordered to report to Grant's headquarters near Vicksburg, but on that very day, May 27, 1863, he and his general were wounded in an unsuccessful assault on the Confederate fortress at Port Hudson.
Badeau was sent back to New York City to convalesce. According to one source, there he was cared for by two theatrical friends—the famous actor, Edwin Booth, and his soon to be infamous brother, John Wilkes Booth. If this is true, an even greater irony was to occur in 1864, when Edwin Booth saved the life of President Lincoln's son, Robert, during a railroad mishap at Jersey City. Robert Lincoln, who later joined Grant's staff, told the story to Badeau when the two were stationed at City Point, Virginia, and Badeau wrote to Edwin Booth congratulating him. Robert Lincoln had fallen between the platform and the train as the train began to move. Booth hauled him up by the coat collar.
In February 1864, Badeau had sufficiently recovered from his wound to join Grant's staff in the West, with the rank of Lt. Colonel. Grant was shortly thereafter appointed commander of the Army of the Potomac. Badeau proved to be an intelligent and thorough military secretary to Grant and was promoted to the rank of Colonel.
Adam Badeau served in the Wilderness and Appomattox campaigns and accompanied Grant at Lee's surrender. He was then placed in charge of the Richmond Relief Commission. In a letter of May 1865, he writes of Grant, "What a wonderful man he is. His goodness is greater than his greatness."
After the war, Badeau was a constant member of Grant's entourage. In 1869, he retired from the military with the brevet rank of Brigadier-General as Grant took up residence in the White House. Badeau waited for a diplomatic appointment and encountered American writer, Henry Adams, who was to include him in his tour de force, The Education of Henry Adams. "[Badeau was] exceedingly social, though not in appearance imposing. He was stout; his face red, and his habits were regularly irregular, but he was very intelligent, a good newspaper man, and an excellent military historian."
Adams and Badeau drank and dined together and visited the Grants at the White House. Adams wrote that Badeau was loyal to Grant, and even "more so to Mrs. Grant who acted as his patroness." He added that Badeau was waiting for a consulate. Badeau described Grant to Adams "as an intermittent energy, immensely powerful when awake, but passive and plastic in repose."
Badeau was ultimately appointed consul-general to London from 1870 to 1881. On April 29, 1875, he married Marie Elizabeth Nils. They had a lavish New York wedding, but I have found few details of their marriage life. In 1877 and 1878 he toured the world with former President Grant. He also spent a good deal of time in New York from April 1880 to January 1881, in a whirlwind of social events. We find him first at the Hotel Brunswick, then a Delmonico's' breakfast for Edwin Booth, then at a reception for future President Garfield, then up to Boston with the Grants, then back to Delmonico's to honor Grant, then staying at the Clarendon Hotel, and then to the Union League Club to honor Grant.
In March of 1881 Badeau was nominated Charge d'Affaires to Denmark, but declined. From 1882 to 1884, Badeau served as consul-general to Havana, but resigned over a dispute with the state department. In 1884, both Badeau and Grant were having financial difficulties. Badeau was out of a job, and Grant was financially wrecked, tainted with allegations of swindling, and dying of throat cancer. Badeau agreed to help Grant with fact checking and research on his memoirs. By May 1885, they had fallen out over the book.
In 1884 Badeau had assisted Grant with an article about the Vicksburg campaign. In that year Badeau also published his three-volume Military History of Ulysses S. Grant. It was in August 1884, that Grant engaged Badeau to assist him by "locating documents, checking facts, and reviewing the manuscript." On April 19, 1885, the New York World reported that Badeau was writing the memoirs based on notes by Grant. It is not clear whether Badeau had a hand in this inaccuracy; nevertheless, Grant promptly denied the story. On May 2, 1885, Badeau offered to complete the memoirs for $1000 per month and ten percent of the profits; he told Grant that he (Grant) would be incapable of completing the task alone. On May 5, Grant dismissed Badeau.
Before making his aggressive proposal for compensation, Badeau complained bitterly over the "drudgery" of the work he was doing. Grant replied, "You are petulant, your anger is easily aroused and you are overbearing even to me, at times, and always with those with whom you have done literary work. Think of the publishers you have quarreled with. As an office holder you have quarreled with your superiors until you have lost your office." When we consider that Badeau's connection with Grant had brought him favor and prominence, these words must have cut deeply; yet his own behavior had brought them on. Grant finished his memoirs without Badeau, and they were a hit. Grant soon died on July 23, 1885 and Badeau continued to write his own books—often about Grant.
Grant was probably right about Badeau, as future events suggested. In April 1887, Badeau and the state department were still in court over the Cuba affair. In the same month Badeau was rebuffed for remarks made about Robert E. Lee's family. Lee's nephew, the Governor of Virginia, took issue with a remark attributed to Badeau that Lee's family was destitute after the war. During this period he was also in court with Grant's family, seeking compensation for his work on the memoirs. This was settled in October of 1888. In 1889, he sued his own publisher, Charles L. Webster, for not publishing his book, Grant in Peace.
In August 1890, the President and the Secretary of War decided to drop Badeau's name from the army rolls, retroactive to 1869, when he first took a diplomatic assignment. The Supreme Court later ruled that Badeau was entitled to two salaries, as diplomat and a retired army officer. Details of his later life are sketchy; on May 28, 1894, Badeau attended an informal dedication of a memorial at Appomattox Court house.
References to his wife are also rare. In 1889, Mrs. Adam Badeau gets a mention in the New York Times. But, it appears that Marie Elizabeth Badeau and her husband may have led separate lives. She never seems to be mentioned in a context with her husband, and she is not mentioned in his obituary although she survived him. In April 1889, Mrs. Badeau is mentioned as serving on a committee of New York ladies raising funds for Paris shop girls—they raised $200. At some later date we find her leasing her summer home in the Catskills. In July 1908 Badeau's widow attended a society event at Lake Placid. She died on May 17, 1915 at 39 Claremont Avenue, Jersey City and was buried at Greenwood Cemetery—a different resting place from her husband's.
Currently, it is not clear to me how Adam Badeau ended up in Ridgewood, New Jersey, where he had been in poor health "for some time." On March 19, 1895, he suffered a stroke while speaking with his adopted son, George Corsa. He died after his adopted daughter, Miss Kittie Chillman, "was summoned." He was sixty-five years old. I have found no announcement of the interment at the Old Dutch Burying Ground, which took place some time after a Catholic funeral at Ridgewood.
Who were these adopted children? How long did he live in Ridgewood? What was the nature of his marriage life? Why was his wife buried at Greenwood Cemetery? The questions trigger stories and the answers trigger more questions. A short while ago Adam Badeau was no more to me than a name on a headstone. After scratching the surface of this man's life, he emerges as a very interesting man living among significant American figures and events. There appears to be much more to discover about the life of Adam Badeau.
From the introduction to
The Place Names of Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown
The names attached to places, landmarks, topographical features can remind us that a given place had a function or significance before our time. Place names lend character to the landscape and stand as milestones to history. They can be elusive too. They change, are displaced, and fade from use.
Place names often evolve through an accident of speech or writing. They are commonly created to identify, describe, or memorialize a place. Some place names are universally accepted, others are known only to a few people. I prefer to believe that place names do not die, they merely fall from fashion—somewhere amid a tangle of modern highways lies Youngs' Corners, a place frozen in history where ancient, now invisible roads meet. There Loyalist troops sought out their rebellious Whig enemies, engaged them in deadly combat, and there they lie entombed in peace together.
Place names can demonstrate a remarkable wanderlust. Few realize that the name Westchester was adopted from a town which stood in what is today the Bronx (then the county seat of Westchester County). The upstate New York names of Utica, Rome, Ithaca, and Syracuse are obvious examples of place names on-the-move.
The Yellow Rocks
Some place names refer to vague and amorphous geographical areas, others to concretely defined boundaries. A modern example of a loosely defined place name is that portion of the Hudson River shore in the Village of Sleepy Hollow known as the Yellow Rocks, or simply Yellow Rocks. It is difficult to say exactly where that particular place begins and ends. Yellow Rocks is also a good example of a place name for which written references are quite rare; but in some Native American form it could be the oldest place name in the two villages.
The place names, Village of North Tarrytown (now the Village of Sleepy Hollow) and Village of Tarrytown, are very specific. They are creations of the 1870s when the two municipalities were incorporated. They refer to well-described locations and boundaries, unlike earlier place names for these communities.
In the late eighteenth century, Tarrytown was not a "village" incorporated under the laws of New York State, but a hamlet—amorphous in its shape and extent. At that time the place name Tarrytown referred to a settled nucleus with indistinct boundaries. The exact limits of early Tarrytown are subject to interpretation and vary with time. A cow standing by the Pocantico River might be described as being "in Tarrytown" or "near Tarrytown" depending on how the reporter interpreted the place name.
The name Tarrytown began as a reference to a central district or a cluster of buildings. By contrast, today's Village of Tarrytown describes the precise geographic limits of the municipality. In Revolutionary times the name Tarrytown applied to a center, "at Tarrytown," but the name also furnished a convenient way to identify outlying lands associated with the quiet hamlet—these places were said to be "near Tarrytown," "by Tarrytown," "at Tarrytown," "Tarrytown." The pre-1870 name, Tarrytown, is an important local place name, and a difficult one to define.
When I travel past long familiar places in and around the villages of Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown, I am fond of remarking, "This is where I used to go to get in trouble when I was a kid." Trouble was never far from home, and the places where I could find it seemed limitless. We were a group of boys who lived on Crest Drive near the cul-de-sac which we called "the Circle." Our forays to find trouble took us anywhere from Axe Castle to Catfish Pond. Very close at hand was Lemonade Rock, further off was Hackley Pond (by the old shooting range, not far from the site of the old stables). Down between the Lakes and the old Marymount Secondary School was Marymount Pond. Did anyone else call these features by the same names, or had we invented them? We all knew where Catfish Pond was (as do many other residents of the two villages), but I have yet to see the name on a map or in a book. Later on, in adolescent years, with a somewhat different team of comrades, the allure of trouble called from Pennybridge to the very boundaries of Rockwood Hall.
One of my reasons for writing this book is to help preserve the old names. Some of them can be found only in fragile limited editions more than a century old. It is a sad fact that the work of collecting and preserving local documents is often pursued with scant resources. This means that irreplaceable records are constantly threatened with extinction due to a lack of time, money, and interest.
I hope this collection will also serve as a source book for local research. Efforts in local research and preservation are often interrupted by long periods of inactivity, and valuable work is easily lost. This can make it difficult for those conducting research to pick up the thread of earlier efforts. Since many of the local histories of the nineteenth century do not offer source information, it can be a painstaking or impossible task to judge their accuracy. My hope is that the references to be found in this work will make it easier for those interested in local history to locate, evaluate, and interpret some of the old source material.

College Hockey:Badgers Win Goaltender Duel, Grab Home Ice
Melanson Makes 36 Saves, Doman Nets Winner Vs. Michigan Tech
MADISON, Wis. — The game plan for Wisconsin this weekend against Michigan Tech was simple: sweep the Huskies and the Badgers would stay at home for the first round of the WCHA playoffs.
Wisconsin did just that. After a Friday-night 5-3 victory, UW came out Saturday at the Kohl Center and beat Michigan Tech, 1-0, as Saturday's game provided a stark contrast to the eight-goal performance seen Friday.
The lone goal of the game came off the stick of forward Matt Doman early in the third period. After 42 minutes of scoreless hockey, Doman broke the drought with what had to be one of the easiest goals of the year.
On the play, Michigan Tech's Clint Way gathered up the puck behind his own goal and played if off the boards. From there the puck took a lucky bounce for UW as it slid right in front of the goal. With Husky goaltender Brian Rogers not realizing where the puck was, all Doman had to do was poke it into the goal from where he was standing just outside the crease.
"Right place, right time," Matt Murray said. "Empty net, you should get those every time. It was a fluke goal and if that's what it takes, that's what it takes."
"One bad bounce and game over," Michigan Tech coach Mike Sertich said.
While Saturday's contest began with emotion as the Wisconsin seniors were introduced to the Kohl Center crowd for the last time, the game quickly turned to the mundane. Good goaltending and a slow start combined for a scoreless first period. Despite three power-play opportunities, two for Michigan Tech and one for Wisconsin, neither team could notch a goal in the opening frame.
The Huskies suffered from an inept power play all weekend, going 0-for-5 both Friday and Saturday nights.
"I was extremely happy with our penalty killing unit," Wisconsin coach Jeff Sauer said.
The second period saw the contest deteriorate even more as neither team could find a rhythm. Quick whistles lead to penalties and a plethora of faceoffs and more importantly, no goals.
It was 2:11 into the third period when Doman's tally ended the goalless affair, and the 18 minutes that followed the aberration that was the Wisconsin goal saw the contest revert back to its familiar role.
Michigan Tech did find itself with chances to score late in the game, but was unable to get the puck past Wisconsin goaltender Graham Melanson, who came up with 36 saves in his ninth career shutout and last game at Kohl.
"It was funny — the only time you stop to reflect is when it gets tough, you don't realize how hard it is," an emotional Melanson said. "I really enjoyed it."
Perhaps the play of the game was made late in the third, on a save that came not from Melanson, but instead from the skate of defenseman Alex Brooks. With the puck close to the UW goal a Michigan Tech forward was able to get around Melanson, but not past Brooks, who was sprawled out in front of the goal, sealing the 1-0 victory.
The Badger victory meant that UW will host Denver next weekend in the first round of the WCHA playoffs, and allowed the Wisconsin senior class to leave the ice with one last win.
"One very impressive thing was after the seniors got off the ice, the team gave them a standing ovation," Sauer said. "I thought it was a nice touch and fitting for this senior class."

LAS VEGAS -- Judging by what is on display at CES Unveiled, the gadgets of the future are designed to help you live a healthier life, and to more closely connect homes with the people living in them.
The 2014 International CES, formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Show, gets underway this week.
For live coverage of The Consumer Electronics Show, click here.
It's traditionally known as an event that previews the next wave of electronics we can expect to see in stores and online.
This year, the press preview show was awash with gadgets that you can wear and gizmos that improve what's going on in your home.
Hello, connected home
Move over, temperature dial. You've now been replaced by an Android interface.
Appliance-maker Dacor showed off a new stove that features an Android-powered touchscreen, which controls the oven.
Rather than expose an iPad to the perils of cooking, the appliance lets you control it remotely (preheat from the office before you get home) and pull up recipes to follow along while right in the kitchen.
"We're trying to accommodate the way people are cooking, not change it," says Dacor's Michael West.
It doesn't come cheap. The 48-inch model costs a cool $12,000, and will be available this summer.
While Honeywell is showing off a voice-activated Internet-connected thermostat, Allure Energy is featuring a thermostat that connects with the phones of you and your family to determine when it should start warming up or cooling down a home based on the location of residents.
For example, as you leave work and get closer to home, it'll warm up. If the kids come home from school early, it'll adjust the temperature accordingly.
Allure's vice-president Jim Mills says smart scheduling in motion sensors found in other thermostats can't compare to a system like this, since it can adapt based on when people are home -- or getting near it.
Time to get fit
While most wearable fitness devices (many of which are watches) require you to sync them with a phone or tablet before determining how (in)active you are, Wellograph's main selling feature is that it can figure this all out on its own.
"Here it is, right there," says creator Nick Warnock. "There's no need to plug it in."
The watch instantly shows basic infographics that reveal your level of physical activity at any point throughout the day, and how much activity you still need to squeeze in to stay -- as the computer determines -- "healthy."
The relatively stylish watch features a sapphire steel aluminum construction that appears to withstand a fair amount of abuse from a sharp metal blade.
Available in April, the Wellograph is, however, on the pricey side at $320.
As well, Canadians will soon be able to buy a special activewear hat that can flag sports-related brain injuries as soon as they happen.
Reebok's $150 CheckLight hat features a slim sensor band that slips inside, meaning an athlete can wear it under a helmet.
It measures both rotational and impact forces, setting off a small yellow light for moderate hits or a red light for severe blows.
The goal is to visibly show athletes, teammates, trainers and parents whether a hit to the head needs medical attention. Over time, it can even count the number of head injuries sustained by the wearer.
Paul Litchfield, vice-president of Reebok's Advanced Concepts Group, says a Canadian launch will happen "super soon," though no exact date was revealed.
Put your money where your mouth is
Kolibree is set to launch the world's first connected toothbrush in the third quarter of 2014.
The electric power brush has a series of sensors that can tell how long you're brushing, where in your mouth you are (and aren't) brushing, and how hard you're pressing.
The device then beams this information back to your phone via a Bluetooth connection, giving the user a better understanding of what they should be doing to improve their oral health.
"Instead of (waiting for) your dentist, we can tell you how well you're doing," says co-founder Loic Cessot. "We think 'Don't brush your teeth longer, but better.' "
In an effort to broaden the scope of possibilities for the Kolibree toothbrush, Cessot says an API will be available so app developers can access the brush's data within their own apps.
A price has not been set, but it's expected to retail for anywhere between $99 and $199.
Meanwhile, if you've worn braces, you likely had a mental countdown to the day they were taken off. Now, a new smart device is aiming to cut orthodontic treatment times in half.
AcceleDent is a vibrating mouthpiece designed to accelerate bone remodelling.
Approved by the FDA, it is currently available in the U.S. and in the U.K. Patients who wear and use the device for 20 minutes a day can speed up their treatment time by up to 50 percent, the company says.
A tiny computer chip encased within the device can monitor and adjust the extent of vibration.
If, for some reason, the idea of a vibrating mouthpiece doesn't have you smiling right away, orthodontists can download the AcceleDent's usage reports to their computer to monitor progress.
Just have fun
Not all gadgets need to keep tabs on your health -- or home heating.
Parrot was at CES Unveiled this year with its new "Jumping Sumo" toy robot.
Controlled via a mobile device on the same WiFi network, this small, book-sized device has two wheels that propel it along flat surfaces. Should it want to jump, a special spring-loaded arm propels this "toy" up to 80 cm in the air -- to let it land on another surface like a table, for example.
Pricing has not been set, and a spokesperson says it'll be available "this year." So in time for next Christmas, perhaps?

We Clicked On: Mixing Up Print and Online
The best piece of news this week, in my opinion, is that News Mixer will be working on WordPress integration. That's right, the sweet piece of commenting goodness originally launched as NewsMixer.us and recently announced to be integrated with the Populous Project will be coming to the world's most popular blogging platform and overall Swiss Army Knife.
Around the Network
In the forum this week, Greg asked about strategies for making your print edition an online feature. The idea came out of a Twitter conversation between Greg and Dane Beavers at The Oklahoma Daily, and the specific questions were:
- After you complete a print edition, do you put a PDF or other such version of it online? Why or not?
- If you do, is it useful? What kind of traffic does it get?
- If you do, do you upload as a PDF or using a third-party service such as Issuu or Scribd?
- If you do, do you tell advertisers that their ads are viewable online?
The most common tool for putting PDFs online mentioned in the conversation was Issuu. Although Lauren doesn't like the idea because she feels it "defeats the purpose of the web site", Mo argues that it's "absolutely important to post the print edition online. Biggest reason: archiving." He gets requests from all number of people for past issues and having "digital copies of the paper makes it a lot easier, and plus, it's searchable through Google (even copies as old as 50 years, with proper digital scanning and OCR)." Another good point from Mo for using Issuu instead of hosting on your own site: "you save on bandwidth costs, because the PDFs tend to add up and swallow your monthly usage (lately we've been looking at ~50MB per 36-page issue)."
On the wiki, Joey added a bunch of information about the Daily Orange's brand-new blog network, including setup (they're using WordPress MU) and plugins. I'm personally looking forward to reading a blog post about the WordPress MU configuration process, and their strategies for expanding engagement.
Congratulations to Jon Schleuss for being hired to the Web Developer position at the Arkansas Traveler.

ODF sent postcards to affected city and county landowners
It is fairly unlikely that anyone at the June 13 Hood River City Council meeting would have anticipated an impassioned reading of Dr. Suess' "Yertle the Turtle" as part of the agenda, but that was in fact one of the more colorful events of the evening.
City resident Jim Klaas backed up his presented concerns about a proposed Oregon Department of Forestry tax assessment to city (and county) residents with the reading - which summarized his feelings about the imperious nature of those in power, noting King Yertle's similarity to ODF - both imposing crushing demands on those living within their kingdoms.
After the laughter subsided, Klaas went into serious detail about information he, Mayor Arthur Babitz and City Administrator Bob Francis had collected on the postcard notification he received from ODF indicating his city property (and several other thousand in Hood River city and county) had been reclassified as a forest, thereby triggering an added tax assessment.
"I learned some pretty shocking things at the informational meeting," said Klaas. "Basically, ODF said that having a single tree or 'fuel' of any kind on a property can allow them to classify it as forestland. I live on Wasco Street and have a few trees and bushes."
ODF provides wildland fire protection on private forest and rangelands within its fire protection district boundaries. This protection is funded by a combination of Fire Patrol Assessment funds obtained from landowners of classified forestlands within ODF fire protection districts and the general fund for the State of Oregon.
The ODF postcards, mailed out in mid-May, succinctly summarize the impending "reclassification" process, with which the agency is updating the existing map drawn up back in the 1960s.
What is not listed on the postcards is the fact that anyone receiving them - with land reclassified as forestland - will be paying either an additional $18.75 for vacant land or $66.25 for land with improvements, per year, in ODF fire patrol costs above their existing fire district assessments.
Francis, Klaas and Babitz made some inquiries into the numbers of cards mailed out by ODF in Hood River. Although not a firm figure, they reported it was likely in the neighborhood of 3,000.
Assuming the majority of those landowners have improvements, that equates to a new tax between $150,000 and $200,000 per year going to ODF. Within the city it was estimated that 250 landowners received cards - equating to a maximum of approximately $16,500 per year.
Klaas was supported in his concerns by Babitz, who expressed anger over the fact that ODF bypassed the city's jurisdiction in imposing a new tax on city residents. He also stated that the city's fire department was fully functional and adequate.
After extensive discussion, the city council voted to direct staff to research the issue, make recommendations, issue a protest to the ODF and provide testimony at an upcoming meeting with ODF.
"They have encroached into city boundaries," said Babitz, noting that previous ODF forest classification maps stopped short of the city boundaries. "I would say that the amount of forest has declined within the city since the 1960s."
An exception to the ODF-mandated assessments may occur when large land owners band together and provide their own fire protection. Klaas suggested that the city itself might function as a de facto large land owner "co-op" and request a waiver for those living within the city limits who already have access to the city fire department services.
Francis did note that large fire-fighting equipment owned by ODF, and used on recent occasions during city wildfires, would not be made available free of charge to jurisdictions not paying their new assessments. Reimbursement for their use could equate to thousands of dollars in the event of a large wildfire.

College Hockey:Redemption And The Sin Bin Twins
BOSTON — Their names of late had become synonymous with one thing: dumb penalties. Not just dumb, but so mind-bogglingly stupid that BU coach Jack Parker had to act.
After Brian McConnell and Justin Maiser unwittingly conspired to doom BU's chances against New Hampshire on Jan. 25, Parker said, "It's difficult to watch how stupid we are. It's difficult to watch how undisciplined we are."
Parker didn't just talk. He benched Maiser for the next game and meted out an even harsher penalty to McConnell, a repeat offender. McConnell would sit two games, one of which was last Monday's Beanpot first round.
"Nobody is telling anybody that they can't be aggressive, but there's a fine line between being aggressive, being physical and being real stupid," Parker said. "If you want to take cheap, stupid penalties to put us down, we're not going to let you do that. Ice time is always the ultimate convincer. If you don't want to do it my way, then don't."
Maiser sat out the Jan. 30 win over Merrimack, but returned for the Beanpot opener against Harvard.
"I hurt the team a couple games with penalties and I sat for that and I suffered from that," he said. "I just wanted to get back the last couple games and help out as much as I could."
For McConnell, though, the latter half of the two-game benching was tough to take. As the Terriers struggled early in the third period against Harvard that evening, the Massachusetts native felt the frustration of a top athlete unable to help his teammates in a major game. Worse than being sidelined by injury, the self-inflicted separation left him determined to make a difference one week later.
"It was frustrating to watch from the stands," he said. "It made me want to be part of the Beanpot and everything about it even more."
Maiser and McConnell indeed became a very big part of the Beanpot championship game.
Maiser scored the ever-crucial first goal, criss-crossing with his sin bin buddy, McConnell, to beat BC goaltender Matti Kaltiainen. For Maiser, this was old hat. He'd scored twice in last year's title game, including the game winner with 1:12 left in regulation, to earn the MVP.
"It's all luck," he said of his Beanpot magic touch. "I was just thinking, 'Shoot like a man!'"
In the second period, his linemate had a similar thought process, one which gave BU a 3-0 lead. McConnell fired from along the left boards and beat Kaltiainen five-hole for the eventual game winner.
"Coach was just talking about shooting like a man and driving it as hard as you could, so that's all that was going through my mind," McConnell said.
The Terriers still took too many penalties, giving BC's dangerous power play eight opportunities. Only a terrific performance on the penalty kill allowed BU to dodge the bullet. The sin bin twins, who along with Freddie Meyer easily lead the team in penalty minutes with over 50 each, were not totally without blame. McConnell stayed out of the box, but Maiser took a cross-checking minor late in the second period with BC rallying that could have given the Eagles a major momentum boost.
Nonetheless, Parker kidded the two in the post-game press conference, asking, "You guys been in the lineup lately?"
He went on to explain that the two needed no redemption in his eyes; the prior penalty problems were now water under the bridge.
"It's not like I have grudges against them," Parker said. "They took the penalties; they sat out. We're back to normal again. I'm not aggravated with them anymore. They paid the price.
"If I thought they were punks, we would have taken their names off the back of their shirts. They're good guys. They just get a little too aggressive and sometimes they get frustrated and the frustration comes out the wrong way."
Not on this night, however. The penalty posse didn't shoot themselves in the foot this time. Instead they shot "like a man" and put pucks in the back of the BC net.
The result? A 3-2 win and BU's eighth Beanpot championship in the last nine years.
Not bad for a couple guys who were sitting in the stands just three games ago.

The functional integrity of northern leopard frog ...
|The functional integrity of northern leopard frog (Rana pipiens) and green frog (Rana clamitans) populations in orchard wetlands. I. Genetics, physiology, and biochemistry of breeding adults and young-of-the-year
|M. L. Harris, C. A. Bishop, J. Struger, Michael R. van den Heuvel, G. J. van der Kraak, D. G. Dixon, B. Ripley, J. P. Bogart
|Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry
|Start page
|End page
|Rana pipiens and R. clamitans were evaluated during 1993-94 at 8 wetland sites in Ontario, Canada, 4 of which were within apple orchards, to determine if environmental changes associated with orchard management affected measured biological parameters. Size, age, genetic variation, condition indices, levels of circulating steroid hormones, 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase activity (EROD), and organochlorine and organophosphorus residues in breeding males sampled at pond sites in orchards were compared to the same parameters measured in breeding males from reference sites. Also, the size and physiological condition of young-of-the-year captured in orchard and reference ponds were compared. No evidence of a reduction in genetic variation was found in populations of either species at any sites, but unexpectedly high average heterozygosity values (0.191-0.282) in concert with low overall fixation indices (0.012-0.059) in adults of both species did suggest that pond populations were interacting with neighbouring populations in non-orchard habitats. Few significant differences in levels of circulating steroid hormones or condition indices of breeding males were found among sites. Significant EROD induction in male green frogs collected from one orchard site during one sampling event was the only indication that a metabolic challenge due to presence of cytochrome P450-inducing toxicants may have existed, whereas elevated concentrations of organochlorines (DDT or endosulfan-related) in green frog tissues suggested that frogs at 3 orchard sites were taking up pesticides. Significant differences in size of equivalent-age male and juvenile leopard frogs and green frogs occupying different study sites suggested that suboptimal habitat characteristics existed at 1 or 2 of the 4 orchard sites. However, site-specific habitat deficiencies could not be related to orchard study sites in general..

Flu Shots for All Children?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention want all children to get a flu shot. Thomas H. Maugh II of The Los Angeles Times reports:
The recommendation, which is expected to be adopted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, would call for an estimated 30 million more children to be vaccinated -- although current vaccination rates suggest that less than a quarter of them, about 7 million, would actually receive the shots.Blah-blah-blah flu shot. I'm tired of hearing about this wonder drug, but in case you're not, check out these recent flu-oriented posts:
The shots would not be mandatory, but the federal imprimatur would make physicians more likely to offer the vaccine to children.
"This new recommendation will help parents understand that all children can benefit from vaccination," said Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.
In addition, CDC approval would make insurance coverage more likely and the flu vaccine would also be distributed through the government's Vaccines for Children program, which covers about 45% of the nation's youth.
Current recommendations call for vaccination of children between 6 months and 5 years old. The new recommendation raises the age range to 18.
