Here at Ohio Magazine, we're editors, writers, advertising executives and graphic designers. But we're also part-time Ohio travel agents for our friends, families, hair stylists, mechanics and anyone else who knows what we do for a living. Not that we mind. Thanks to the Internet,
you don't need us to tell you about the new ride at Cedar Point anymore. But suggesting a stop at that place along the way - the one that sells drippingly juicy peaches and equally delicious Ohio wines (Quarry Hill Orchards & Winery in Berlin Heights)? That's our specialty. And it's good to feel needed.
This month marks the annual Discover Ohio Week, designed to inspire you to get out there and explore the state. We've sorted some of our favorite lesser-known destinations into four categories to help you plan the trip that interests you the most. In addition to the places listed below, we hope you'll stop and smell the tulips at Eyestone Flower Farm in Crawford County, enjoy the view from Hocking Hill's Airplane Rock and have yourself a darn good hot dog at Remo's in Gallipolis (just not on Sunday or Thursday - they're closed). Have fun, be safe and don't forget - send us a postcard.
For more information, visit www.DiscoverOhio.com.
Kids are natural-born explorers, but did you know that Ohio is stocked with visitable versions of the exotic adventures you read about in bedtime stories? Go on safari, wander through towering castles, explore ancient burial mounds and have a run in with bandits; we guarantee there'll be a compelling "what I did this summer" essay in the fall.
For your first stop, test out a different type of transport on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad (CVSR) or the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway (HVSR). Built in the 1940s and 1950s, CVSR coaches chug through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park (another place worth seeing if you haven't already) and other scenic routes. In May, a special Mother's Day outing and a trip with Thomas the Tank Engine are among the special excursions. Down south, outlaws are plotting a good old-fashioned (and friendly) train robbery this month. Catch the HVSR headed for Logan at the Nelsonville depot (they'll give you some play money when you board), and expect that your pockets will be a little lighter on the way back, since the train crosses paths with a notorious pack of bandits looking for loot.
In Licking County, you'll find two of the state's most significant celebrations of Native American history. The Ridge Interactive Museum is a hands-on experience that educates visitors about the lifestyle of indigenous cultures. Make your own shell jewelry or send a dart whizzing through the air with an atlatl, an ancient weapon used for hunting, fishing and protection. About 10 miles down the road, explore 2,000-year-old mounds at the Newark Earthworks site. The Ohio Historical Society calls the mounds, which are listed in the book The Seventy Wonders of the Ancient World, the best-preserved examples of the monumental geometric earthworks of the Hopewell culture.
Zoos are always a fun destination for kids, and the Toledo Zoo just added three fuzzy residents that are worth a road trip. A trio of polar bear cubs was born here last November, making Toledo one of just two zoos in North America where you can see the little creatures. Babies always get all the attention, so be sure to visit the African elephants, hippos, cheetahs and apes, too.
Animals are easy to spot at the zoo, but in the wild, it takes a bit more effort. That's part of the safari-like adventure at the Wilds in Cumberland. The 10,000-acre facility is dedicated to conservation, and rhinos, giraffes, American bison and a host of other Asian, African and North American species roam about the property. Hiking, birding, fishing and mountain biking are all available here, but we think having a rhino wander alongside your windowless safari tram offers the biggest adrenaline boost.
All castles have a magical feel that pulls you inside to explore. Surprisingly, Ohio is filled with these majestic structures. While many are privately owned and don't allow visitors, The Piatt Castles - Mac-A-Cheek and Mac-O-Chee - in West Liberty are open for tours. The Castle Inn in Circleville, built in the late 1800s, is a romantic retreat where you can spend a night in the tower, and also enjoy comfortable, modern-day amenities. Each castle has that combination of high towers and stone facades that inspire little imaginations to create their own kingdoms.

It's the same in our dining and wine scene. Some of the top places for wine and food in the state involve navigating dirt roads. In fact, it's the byways, not the highways, that lead to many of Ohio's nearly 100 wineries - all the more reason to go. Ohio wines get better with every vintage, and so do trips to our wine country, thanks in part to five wine trails created a few years back. Wineries along each trail are constantly generating fun new reasons for you to visit. During Discover Ohio Week, 14 wineries along northeast Ohio's Wines & Vines Wine Trail are hosting a "Wine N Bloom" weekend, where participants travel from winery to winery collecting spring seed packets and enjoying appetizers and samples of the latest bottlings.
May is one of the most beautiful months because of its blooms, and few places have a more stunning showing than Ohio's two most exquisite estate museums. Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens in Akron and Kingwood Center in Mansfield are magnificent country mansions surrounded by acres of gardens, meticulously maintained, largely, by local garden clubs and volunteers. In early May, wildflowers and tulips are in bloom at both, but Stan Hywet's walled English Garden starts to blossom about mid-month, and a few weeks later, 500 roses will begin to scent the air at Kingwood.
The color of cut flowers is the perfect way to bring spring into our homes, and public markets are one of the best sources for locally grown blooms. Findlay Market in Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine district has been operating since it was constructed by German immigrants in 1852. Keeping with this tradition, the open-air space sells lots of meats and sausages, but also fresh fruits and vegetables, flowers, honey, wine, cheeses and crafts. We love it because public markets are one of the last places in modern society where a true sense of community fills the air (and if that opinion seems dated to you, we should mention that Findlay has free WiFi). Other Ohio markets worth a visit are the Athens Farmers Market, which has received national attention as one of the best year-round farmer's markets in the country; Columbus' North Market, where you can get a $4 jar of Ohio-made salsa or a $40 bottle of Champagne; Cleveland's West Side Market, one of the few places you'll still see babushkas and two-wheeled shopping carts; and Dayton's 2nd Street Public Market and Webster Street Market.

Tracing Ohio's historical path really involves following a series of concrete and dirt paths around the state. These mapped-out routes guide you through important segments of Ohio's geological, industrial and cultural heritage, and offer a renewed sense of the need to protect our past.
Stretching from Cleveland to Dover, the Ohio & Erie Canalway was created in the early 1800s to streamline transportation between the Eastern Seaboard and the Gulf of Mexico. We like it because it gives you options - the 110-mile route includes byways, railways and trailways, inviting you to explore it by bicycle, on foot, in your car or as a passenger on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad.
We hope you do, since bits of history along these paths can disappear more easily than we think. Not that you won't find dozens of interesting stops and old buildings along this 200-mile, border-to-border route, including the Brick Tavern House in the east and the Pennsylvania House in the west.
The Buckeye Trail traverses at least 46 of Ohio's 88 counties, and sections of this scenic path can make you forget all about the discord between nature and modern society. While some parts run along roads, the trail is easiest to see on foot, and crosses through natural venues like the Hocking State Forest, Shawnee State Forest near Portsmouth and Caesar Creek State Park in Waynesville. The route also winds you through historic places including Fort Ancient in Oregonia and two of Brown County's five covered bridges that are listed in the Ohio Historic Bridge Guide.
If it's covered bridges you're after, Ashtabula County and Fairfield County both can boast 16 covered bridges accessible to the public. (Fairfield County has two others on private property.) The Harpersfield Covered Bridge in Ashtabula County is 228 feet long and claims to be the longest covered bridge in Ohio. Be sure to visit it during the annual Covered Bridge Festival, October 13 and 14 this year.

We hope at this point you're inspired to hop in your car and see the Ohio you've been missing.
But wait - here's a better idea.
We're guessing you don't see many frogs, egrets or herons when you're driving. We'll also assume that, while you may have been inside Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, you've never been underneath it. All reasons why some of Ohio's destinations are best explored from the seat of a kayak.
The Hocking Hills are synonymous with some of the best hiking in the state, but why not float down the Hocking River with the Hocking Hills Canoe Livery or the Hocking Valley Canoe Livery? Both businesses offer scenic trips, guided tours and group rates. This time of year, the dogwoods are blooming in the Mohican State Forest, reason enough to paddle the Mohican River with Mohican Adventures, just one of several liveries near this magnificent forest. Southwest Ohio's Mad River is aptly named, since it's the fastest flowing waterway in the area.
Still, most sections are safe for beginners, and Aaron's Canoe & Kayak Center in Springfield will gladly teach you the basics before your trip.
By the way, we weren't kidding about the Rock Hall. Cleveland's 41° North Coastal Kayak Adventures lets you explore Lake Erie and its tributaries in ways your feet just can't, and they do a fabulous job of incorporating local history and nature into their paddles. Trips include excursions to the Lake Erie Islands, paddling along limestone cliffs in the Emerald Necklace (this one takes you past the home of fabled lawman Elliot Ness), and a tour of Cleveland's downtown shoreline that, in addition to up-close views of big ships and lighthouses, takes you under the Rock Hall's structure.
If you prefer to stay on dry land, spring migration is in full swing, and the dunes, marshes and woodlands along the western shores of Lake Erie are a favorite pit stop for birds heading north to their nesting areas in Canada and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The 11 scenic parks of the Metroparks of Toledo provide the habitat diversity needed to attract a variety of species. But even if you can't tell a cardinal from a seagull, the sheer number of birds passing through the Metroparks and places like nearby Magee Marsh is worth seeing (you don't even need binoculars). This month marks the height of the warbler migration at Magee, and seasoned birders describe the trees as "dripping" with the colorful travelers.
Of course, some people prefer to stick with the great American pastime for fun, and what better place than the Great American Ball Park, home of the Cincinnati Reds. Since its opening day in 2003, the $320 million ballpark has been a place of pride. And rightfully so - the waterfront stadium has seen memorable events like Sammy Sosa's 500th home run and the first sitting president (President Bush in 2006) to throw out an opening-day pitch in Cincinnati. Among the ballpark's amenities are two 64-foot-high smokestacks in right field that shoot celebratory fireworks when the Reds make a killer play or win the game. Here's hoping the stacks are busy this season.

Ohio's biggest destinations have lots going on this month, too. Here, a few of the standout events.
In honor of the 10th anniversary of Princess Diana's untimely death, the Western Reserve Historical Society presents "Diana, A Celebration." Nine galleries tell the story of the princess' life through childhood photographs and memorabilia; her dazzling tiara; the incredible gown with 25-foot-long train from her 1981 marriage to Prince Charles; and the musical score and handwritten lyrics of the Elton John/Bernie Taupin song "Candle in the Wind" dedicated to her upon her death.
Summer isn't summer without a visit to one of Ohio's thrill parks. This month, Cedar Point introduces its 17th roller coaster, Maverick, complete with a 100-foot, 95-degree plummet to make your stomach drop.

What I learn by day I blog at night - A blog from Microsoft Consultant working from Ljubljana, Slovenia
So I finally installed Visual Studio 2008 (Orcas) Beta 2 on my work machine. Let's see from the perspective of a busy developer what's new and what's cool. And what is not.
There are some sweet additions to C# language in C# 3.0 you can start using right away. Those are specially auto-implemented properties, object and collection initializers which will simplify your code.
I'll not bother about rewriting about new features C# 3.0, since much smarter people than me already did, so just check, for example, excellent articles by ScottGu:
Bottom line is - C# has few new features, most of them are there because of LINQ (see below). Other are quite simple, so you'll pick them up in 10 minutes flat.
Or you could check cool stuff others are doing with new syntax.
Probably single most important addition to VS2008/C# 3.0/.NET Framework 3.5 is Language Integrated Query - LINQ. LINQ is a general addition to the language, but you'll probably be most interested in LINQ to SQL which let's you use LINQ to query database server without directly writing SQL code.
I recommend reading most excellent tutorials from ScottGu to get up to speed on LINQ to SQL when you are ready to dive in and not sooner:
All in all I think LINQ to SQL is a sweet O/R mapper. No doubt there are better performing mappers out there, but LINQ to SQL will be on every developers machine and will be a first step in O/R mapping for many.
It's fun and not too hard to start with, so I recommend you use it your next mini/pet/internal project.
I don't work much with ASP.NET these days, but I did take a look anyway.
It seems to be a decent step forward, but no ground braking changes as in ASP.NET to ASP.NET 2.0 transition.
There is new design time experience with a split view like in Dreamweaver and automatic CSS editing mode which I didn't like at first, but maybe I did something wrong.
ASP.NET AJAX and Web Projects are now built in, there is a new LiveView control, LinqDataSource is a bridge to LINQ for ASP.NET DataSources.
There is also new aspnet_merge utility to merge multiple assemblies for production use. This seems like a easy enough trick to squeeze some extra performance from your code.
I recompiled some of our current VS2005 projects and it went pretty smooth.
VS2008 will show you import solution wizard when you try to open VS2005 solution for the first time. Unfortunately, you can't open updated .sln files in Visual Studio 2005 although there are no big changes in format. But since .csproj (and probably .vbproj, I didn't check) files are compatible, you can easily have two .sln files - one for VS2005 and VS2008 and work on the same project in both.
VS2008 has a feature called multi targeting. When you import VS2005 project, VS2008 will still target .NET Framework 2.0, so you don't have to worry about missing dependencies on production machines. When you decide you need new feature from Framework 3.0 and/or 3.5 you can change the setting.
Be sure to have your projects on source control so you can check for changes to the code after import. You'll probably have some things to revert like changes in web service proxies like I did.
I have used ReSharper so much, I really cannot code without it. Unfortunately R# 3.0.2 doesn't support any C# 3.0 features yet, so you'll see lots of errors if you use them, but the code will compile. So R# is useless for testing out new language features and LINQ, but it will work ok if you'll be working in 2.0 style.
I have tested VisualSVN 1.2.4 and it just works.
TestDriven.NET also work from the box.
Visual Studio 2008 work ok in Vista. If you want to do ASP.NET stuff you still have to install IIS6 stuff and run as administrator.
Read more about it at Arian's post Working with IIS under VS 2008 Beta 2 and Vista which covers everything you need to do.
VS2008 beta 2 has a go-live licence.
VS2008 is scheduled to launch in February 28th 2008, but MSDN subscribers will probably get it month or two earlier.
You can import all your setting from VS2005 to VS2008 during install (or is it first start, I can't remember). Those include keyboard shortcuts, colors, fonts and other stuff. You must reinstall add-ins.
VS2008 feels much like 2005. If you don't want to, there is no need to use any new stuff. Which is good so we can all transition slowly and learn about new stuff as we go along doing our daily developing.
The step from Visual Studio 2005 to Visual Studio 2008 is smaller / easier / less scary that then one from VS 2003 to VS 2005, so don't be afraid. Download free Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 from Microsoft page, install it and give it a go! If you don't want to mess with your main developer machine, you can get pre-installed VPC images on the same page.
I use VS2008 for all mini projects, testing and concept proofing now. I enjoy discovering new things that I don't know about and haven't read about. Like enhanced error report with call stack when designer fails to load windows form.

Apple's CarPlay Will Have a Huge Long-Term Payoff
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- At first, it might appear that Apple's
History has shown that the early diagnosis of a new technology is almost always off the mark in the long run. That's because observers tend to cast a new technology in the perspective of old thinking. Because innovation is a new way of seeing things -- in essence discovery -- the famous quote from Albert Szent-Gyorgyi applies:
Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody else has thought.
When Microsoft's
I cite this example because it's memorable and a good way to illustrate that it's hard even for an experienced CEO to correctly assess a competitor's new technology.
Harder still is the challenge to put the long-term strategic consequences into perspective. For example, it's all too easy to think in a simplistic way about device handling in the car. At first we had an iPhone in our hands or stuck on the dash. With CarPlay, there is better integration, but not in an earthshaking manner. So CarPlay may seem like a yawner. It's not the startling new innovation, virtual magic, that some have been clamoring for.
It's been noted elsewhere, however, that innovation isn't always a surprising new technology. Sometimes, innovation is the incremental extension of current technology in news ways. Moreover, placing Apple technologies like Siri and Maps in front of average users is going to provide mission-critical feedback that will drive the technologies to the next level of refinement.
Technology is never frozen in time.
The working environment of the car, its speed, hazards from other cars and objects, and the sophistication of the environment is at least an order of magnitude greater than sitting in an armchair with an iPad. While that's alarming at first, it's also a challenge which, if met correctly, will advance the general iOS state of the art.

There is something to be said for having good genes when it comes to being a baseball player, as there has been no shortage of father-son combinations in Major League Baseball.
More times than not, one member of the family is far more productive than the other, but there have been a handful of cases where both father and son were big league stars.
Here on Father's Day, we take a look back at the 10 greatest father-son duos in MLB history. We also provide a lengthy roster of honorable mentions and a peek at who could be challenging for a spot on this list in the years to come.
We ranked the duos on the balanced production of both father and son, so while guys like Tony Gwynn, George Sisler, Yogi Berra and Tony Perez had Hall of Fame careers and sons who reached the majors, they don't crack the list with the sons falling well short of the fathers' numbers.

Decanter magazine highlights Chile as "wine producing paradise"
The latest issue of U.K.-based Decanter magazine focused on the growing wine culture in Chile, a country it deemed a "grape growing and wine producing paradise" due its geographical diversity.
According to the magazine's top oenologist, the 15 most prestigious vineyards in Chile include Altair, Errázuriz, Concha y Toro, Cono Sur and San Pedro, as well as lesser-known vineyards like Aristos, Calyptra, Polkura, Falernia and O. Fournier.
Concha y Toro, Chile's leading wine producer, "constantly produces excellent wines," according to British winemaker Peter Richards. He also calls Cono Sur one of the most diverse and competitive wines in the world.
Montes, Casa Marín, De Martino, Tabalí and Leyda round out the list, although notably absent was Santa Rita, one of the three largest wine producers in Chile.
According to the major wine business organization Vinos de Chile, the United Kingdom remains the largest importer of Chilean wines, followed closely by the United States.
Demand for Chilean wine in the U.S. and the U.K. has remained relatively constant over the last few years, especially in contrast with rapidly growing demand of 10 percent or more annually in other European countries, as well as China and Japan.
This year, the price of Chilean wine has already risen substantially due to the weak value of the dollar, cold spring weather and a shortage of temporary labourers.
Some companies, like Concha y Toro, are going so far as to raise prices by at least 10%, putting an emphasis on increased quality over increased quantity.

Please click on the link below to download the latest version. Thanks!
WASHINGTON - Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin reaffirmed that he has no plans to drop out of the Missouri Senate race in the wake of a controversial comment he made about rape and pregnancy.
"I misspoke one word in one sentence on one day, and all of a sudden, overnight, everybody decides, 'Well, Akin can't possibly win,'" he said on a national radio show Tuesday hosted by former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. "Well, I don't agree with that."
In a video issued by his campaign called Forgiveness Akin again apologized for his choice of words.
"As the father of two daughters, I want tough justice for predators," he says in the video. "I have a compassionate heart for the victims of sexual assault. I pray for them."
"The fact is rape can lead to pregnancy. The truth is rape has many victims. The mistake I made was in the words I said, not in the heart I hold. I ask for your forgiveness," he said.
Akin landed in hot water for his response in an interview on KTVI-TV Sunday when he was asked if he would support abortions for women who have been raped.
"It seems to me, first of all, from what I understand from doctors, that's really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down," he said.
Will Akin survive this firestorm and how will it impact the Republicans' chances of winning nationwide? Guy Benson, political editor for Townhall.com, spoke more about the fallout, on CBN Newswatch, Aug. 21.
His remarks triggered an avalanche of condemnation from his opponent in the Missouri Senate race, the president, and even members of his own party.
Fellow Republicans dumped their political and financial support, pressuring him to bow out and make way for another candidate to challenge incumbent Claire McCaskill.
McCaskill is seen as one of the most vulnerable Democrats this cycle. Some fear the GOP's chances of winning the majority in the Senate would be next to impossible with Akin's name on the ballot.
But one poll, conducted in the wake of the fallout, shows him leading McCaskill by just one point, though 75 percent found his remarks "inappropriate."
Throughout his political career, Akin has championed conservative values.
In a CBN News interview earlier this year, the Missouri lawmaker explained why he authored a bill to protect chaplains against demotion or punishment for expressing religious views that oppose homosexuality.
"This is a legitimate conscience protection act," he said.
But his poorly-constructed remark about rape has cost him support from some Christian leaders.
"Although I respect the record of Congressman Akin, especially in the pro-life community, some comments are so offensive and indefensible that one must assume the full consequences and responsibility for making them," Rev. Pat Mahoney, with the Christian Defense Coalition said, urging Akin to step down.
Monday night, Akin posted on his Facebook page that he was staying in the race, a move some Republicans believe will cost them the election well before voters even head to the polls.
The congressman also went on former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's radio show to apologize.
"I made that statement in error," Akin said. "Let me be clear, rape is never legitimate. What I said was ill-conceived and it was wrong. And for that I apologize."
Republicans had gained ground with women voters, but according to CBN News chief political correspondent David Brody, Akin's gaffe is a setback Democrats will take advantage of.
"It gives the Democrats another nugget in the 'war on women' narrative and look for it to play out you can be sure, not just with Democrats but in the media for months for sure," Brody predicted.

Under Chavez sponsorship Latam nomenclature adds a new regional grouping
Showing off new energy after cancer treatment, Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez hosted Latin American leaders on Friday to create a new regional body that pointedly excludes the United States and Canada.
The inauguration of the 33-member Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) is the populist leader biggest moment on the world stage since his surgery in June.
The 57-year-old former coup leader, who wants to win re-election next October warmly greeted fellow leaders including Dilma Rousseff of Brazil, Argentina's Cristina Fernandez and Cuba's Raúl Castro.
As the years go by, CELAC is going to leave behind the old and worn-out OAS, Chávez told reporters, referring to the hemisphere-wide Organization of American States that several nations say is under Washington's thumb.
The OAS is a body made ragged by its age and drained by the years, and it's very far from the spirit of our people.
However excluding joy, the event is seen by critics as yet another unnecessary group to a plethora of overlapping organizations in the region.
The countries of CELAC have nearly 600 million people and comprise the world's number one food exporter region. They have a combined GDP of about 6 trillion dollars, roughly a third of the combined output of the United States and Canada.
Cuba, suspended from the OAS in 1962, is a CELAC member.
Venezuelan Foreign Affairs minister Nicolas Maduro announced his peers from the 33 member CELAC had already agreed the Caracas Declaration and options for decision making which is to be considered by the presidents on Saturday.
"We have approved the Caracas Declaration with all its components and now it is up to the heads of state", said Maduro. The document also contains the basis for the future charter and working mechanisms of CELAC.
"An only point has to be discussed and that is how to arrive to decisions. The prevailing opinion was consensus. But Ecuador said that in the absence of unanimity, a qualified majority (four fifths) could be instrumented", added Maduro. The proposal received limited support from Mexico.
"The doctrine and spirit behind the charter and other documents contemplates the diversity of our continent", said the Venezuelan minister.
The summit will take place at the military fort of Tiuna in Caracas surrounded by extreme security measures.

ESPN's anti-hockey stance was evident pre-lockout, and it's still around IMO.
That's why I'm very happy it's off that network, and would reject any overture made to bring it back to the so-called "Sports Leader." That name, BTW, is a joke when it refuses to remain objective about the NHL, or dismisses the League in its highlight show.
The NHL is better off on Versus IMO. There is lots of potential for growth. There is zero growth for it on ESPN.
Versus is happy to have the NHL, while ESPN ridicules it.

ON THE big screen above center ice between periods, Lauren Hart was again belting out her song, "Last One Standing." Video clips of Flyers scoring, celebrating, scoring and celebrating again accompanied her first-line voice, and by the time the song was halfway through, two things were painfully clear.
The video clips were not recent. Most of them, anyway. And . . .
"Last One Standing" has more than one meaning.
The Flyers scored one goal again last night, losing 4-1 to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a game their captain targeted for a turnaround, a game that preceded a week without games - and now, a lot of conjecture about firings and trades and the direction of a franchise that has again appeared to have overestimated its talent.

|No. 18 on the Olympic Course at Gold Mountain: Among the most thrilling finishes in tournament golf. (Jason Scott Deegan/TravelGolf)
BREMERTON, Wash. -- Long before it became fashionable to be a municipal golf course worthy of championship golf -- ala the Holy Trinity of U.S. Open venues at Chambers Bay, the South Course at Torrey Pines and the Black Course at Bethpage -- it was the Olympic Course at Gold Mountain Golf Club that embodied great government-owned golf.
The Olympic Course, built in 1996 by John Harbottle III to complement the older Cascade Course built in 1971 by the city of Bremerton, has won more awards from various golf publications than any of the public golf courses in Washington.
Despite its remote location on the Kitsap Peninsula across the Puget Sound from Seattle, Gold Mountain hosts elite college players every fall at the Washington Husky Invitational, and its 2010 NCAA West Regional championship will be its second in three years. The U.S. Junior Amateur will stop by in 2011.
"One of our niches is to host championship golf. We enjoy doing it. We are proud of it," says Director of Golf Scott Alexander.
Gold Mountain's crowning moment, the 81st U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship in 2006, helped mold an already good course into an even better one. The USGA brass flip-flopped the nines, setting up one of the most distinct finishes in top tournament golf, a drivable par 4 that can play anywhere from 271 to 325 yards depending on the tee selection. From an elevated tee, players can swing for glory, driving it over five bunkers and a pond enlarged prior to the tournament for an opportunity at eagle. It's a thrilling end to any day.
Alexander says the original design called for a long par 4, but the shorter version fit the land better. He says when Harbottle enlarged the pond to cut off the right side in 2005, it gave the hole stronger risk-reward characteristics.
"The USGA wanted players to go for it in match play," Alexander says. "It worked out so great, we left it that way. It's pretty rare to have that hole in the spot that it's in."
Gold Mountain is hardly a one-hit wonder. From the moment players drive around the bend toward the clubhouse, they're usually left breathless by the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Towering trees frame rolling fairways with the snow-covered peaks of the Cascade Mountains hovering on the horizon. Alexander says there will never be any houses on the courses.
Several holes seem to fall off cliffs toward greens. The 563-yard sixth plays uphill to a ridge before rocketing downward to a reachable, multi-tiered putting surface. The elevated tee off the 251-yard 12th hole drops to a redan green that slopes from the front right to the back left.
Doug Allen of Poulsbo says the Olympic Course is the best value golf course in the state.
"Its beauty and playability for the price are hard to beat," he says. "It's not too hard. The fairways are wide. The landing zones are nice. From one to 10, it's a nine."
Visitors flock to the Olympic Course. Locals, especially seniors and higher handicaps, though, tend to favor the flatter 6,707-yard Cascade Course. It never costs more than $40, plays several shots easier and is just as scenic. Although the fairways are narrower, getting on in regulation is infinitely easier with punchbowl greens receptive to approach shots.
Be forewarned: the 168-yard 17th has the most severe green on the property.
"I get comments from people every day. They go and play Cascade and tell me, 'Man, I forgot how good the Cascade is,'" Alexander says.
The Olympic Course at Gold Mountain Golf Club will probably always play second fiddle to the magnificent Chambers Bay in the rankings of the state's best munis, but you could argue a round of golf here is just as inspiring and memorable. The setting is so rustic you almost expect to stumble upon Bigfoot. Considering the difference in the greens fees between the two places (roughly $100 plus caddie fees), the Olympic Course is worth the extra drive time from Seattle or Tacoma.

WOODSTOWN -- Borough council moved forward with the Bailey Street affordable housing project, which will see 16 rental units constructed to fulfill the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) requirement from the state.
Tuesday night¹s council meeting concentrated on the $3 million COAH project as borough solicitor George Rosenberger Jr. explained four resolutions he prepared.
The resolutions were to determine the need for low- to moderate-income housing in Woodstown, authorization to enter into a PILOT agreement (Payment in Lieu of Taxes), authorizing the mayor and clerk to execute the development agreement, and confirming intent to bond in the event there is a funding shortfall.

Passion, energy, experience. Those are words that come to our mind when we think of the three women who are now leading See Lancaster, the organization that promotes tourism in Lancaster County.
See Lancaster was reorganized this summer after some deliberations between a special task force and Lancaster City Council. The new See Lancaster still has a mission of promoting tourism in the county, but it also heads up the Performing Arts Series at the University of South Carolina.
I am writing because I am outraged over unemployment benefits. There is enough hurt with all the job losses in our town and state.
Recently, I was looking for my unemployment check – which I am entitled to – in the mail. Instead, I got a bill for what they called "overpayment."
The state wants the money back from the emergency benefits program that President Obama approved.
I would like to thank the citizens of Lancaster County for ensuring Preston Blackmon's legacy lives on through the Preston Blackmon Family Success and Career Center. Your efforts in making the center a success reciprocates the love that Preston had for each one of you.
A special thanks to the Revs. George and Stella Williams, Deliverance Word of Faith Church family, Southside Adult Family Literacy Project and Southside Literacy Board for reflecting upon Preston's life and naming the center in the honor.
The founding principle of our nation is that we are a free people – a nation that has a government, not the other way around, as President Ronald Reagan put it.
To that end, our founders created the most amazing experiment ever in the course of human history, articulated by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Both of these documents established how we arrange our affairs in this nation so as to create maximum individual liberty in an ordered society: not anarchy, not tyranny, but the best balance between the two. In short, ordered liberty.
A pair of Lancaster youth softball teams earned berths to the 2009 World Series in Sumter.
The teams, who qualified for the prestigious tournament, did so by winning state championships on the way to Sumter.
When they made the trip to Sumter to launch their World Series drive, the girls' goals were to bring home a coveted Series title.
The teams – the Lancaster County Darlings and Southern Belles – fell short in their respective bids.
I understand the sentiment of those who are calling us to say that they do not want their medical care delivered from Washington. But I also understand that 50 percent of all health care in this country is either paid for or provided through the federal government. That includes Medicare, Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program, Tricare Standard, Tricare for Life, Veterans Health Care, Military Health Care, Indian Health Care, the Public Health Service, and the Federal Employees Benefit Program.
I would like to let everyone in Lancaster County know that we do have some of the nicest and most wonderful folks in our town.
The teachers of the adult education classes are so caring and they devote their time to help others. We are fortunate to have such devoted people.
They always seem to have the time for each student there.
They listen to you either about work or everyday life. They are not just there for the teaching. They go far beyond their ability to help each and every one.
Contrary to what State Sen. Mick Mulvaney's article said last week, not every federal program has led to socialism or even socialized medicine.
For more than 60 years, presidents in our country (starting with President Harry Truman) have tried to enact a federal health care plan that would cover everyone and not exclude anyone for a pre-existing condition. Over those 60 years, Republicans in Congress and their supporting lobby interests have succeeded in killing all such plans.

Section 7.7 outlines three main judgements: smatch, erase and annotate. Erase and annotate are described, but smatch seems to be missing. This makes it a little hard to understand. Can someone either point out a document where this is defined (or a place in this document), or answer what are probably the two key questions for understanding it, namely, - How does structural matching deal with non-determinism? - Specifically, is structural matching "shallow" (like DTD or XML Schema, where only the content model/complex type at a single level is examined to resolve a choice) or "deep" (multiple levels are examined).

I'm trying to use pax as a tar replacement, because the completed file
runs to 5+ GB -- but I can't seem to get what I want.
Specifically, I get this error: "A file or directory in the path name does
not exist" when pax runs across a symbolic linc to a non-existant file.
Tar and tsm both archive the symlink, while pax complains and does NOT
archive the link.
What option(s) do I need to feed to pax to just get the link archived?
Currently I'm using pax -xXf <path to pax file> <directory to archive>.
What can I use in place of pax or tar for output files larger than 2 GB?
Some of the symlinks pax is complaining about are to file off on a nfs
mount that isn't mounted at the time of the run.

Mother Goose Programs
Frequently Asked Questions about Mother
Goose Programs™
What are Mother Goose Programs™?
Mother Goose Programs™ are a collection of picture books, kits, activity guides, and training that
enable parents, librarians, child-care providers, and early childhood and early elementary educators to
transform the act of reading to children into a multidimensional and powerful learning experience. Our
mission is to enhance the development, self-esteem, and success of children by building the skills and
confidence of parents, librarians, child-care providers, and other educators.
Who produces these programs?
Mother Goose Programs™ are created by Vermont Center for the Book, the largest and most active
state affiliate of the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. VCB was founded in 1985 as
a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. It has five full-time staff and a national corps of educational consultants
and trainers. Since 1992, VCB has received over $14 million in federal, state, and private foundation
grants, most notably from the National Science Foundation, to develop its Mother Goose Programs™
Who uses Mother Goose Programs™?
Between 2000 and 2005 alone, Mother Goose Programs™ reached over 40,000 families; trained over
6,000 early childhood educators, including librarians and elementary teachers; and distributed 400,000+
books in 30 states plus the Virgin Islands and Washington, DC. MGP is widely used in homes, child care
organizations, elementary schools, every Head Start in the state of California, and library systems
including the Houston Public Library and the State Library Associations of Pennsylvania, Washington,
Delaware, and Vermont.
Do Mother Goose Programs™ meet state standards?
According to the National Childcare Information and Technical Assistance Center (NCCIC), all states have
Early Learning Guidelines. VCB has examined most states' education standards and although there are
some differences in semantics, the standards in all the MGP program guides/manuals reflect the general
content and align with the states' standards and the Head Start Framework.
Have Mother Goose Programs™ been validated by research?
Mother Goose Programs™ have been field-tested and endorsed by research. RMC Research Corp. found
that most early childhood educators who implemented these programs had "a much greater positive impact
on children's early literacy than caretakers of children...who did not participate in the training."
Evaluation documenting the positive impact of Mother Goose Programs™ has also been conducted by Learning Innovations at WestEd.
Are Mother Goose Programs™ the same as Every Child Ready to Read (ECRR)?
MGP complements ECRR. For example, VCB is working in Vermont with the Department of Libraries on a joint
statewide early literacy initiative (ELI). Thirty public librarians are attending a two-day training workshop.
On the first day ECRR trainer Saroj Ghoting will conduct the workshop and VCB will be using MGP materials to
conduct the workshop on the second day. A follow-up workshop in November will focus on how librarians can
work with childcare providers in their communities.
The Executive Director of VCB, Sally Anderson, is a librarian by trade. As a member of ALA, ALSC and as an ALSC
committee member, Sally is well-versed in the ECRR program and its concepts.
MGP's emphasis on math and science as well as literacyalong with MGP guides, manuals and hands-on
materialssupplement and expand the ECRR model. Librarians familiar with ECRR will be particularly impressed with MGP.
How do Mother Goose Programs™ tie into guidelines from the National Association for the Education of Young Children?
The philosophy of and content contained in the Mother Goose Programs for professionals working with children ages
birth to 7 are aligned with those of NAEYC. Books, articles and on-line materials written and published by NAEYC
have been used during the creation and dissemination of the MGP curricula.
The courses and workshops based on these Mother Goose Programs are used for recertification credit in several states.
The emphasis on teacher commitment to children and their learning, teachers knowing the subjects they teach and
how to teach those subjects to children, teachers learning to think systematically about their practice and
learning from experience and as members of a learning community are all essential elements of MGP trainings and
Do you offer training on how to best incorporate Mother Goose Programs™ into my library/child care center/home school programs?
Yes! We offer in-service and workshop sessions for classroom teachers, librarians, and early childhood
educators/child-care providers. Whether train-the-trainer or direct-to educator, our sessions are
always hands-on, book-based andmost importantstandards-based. We customize our programs
to fit your institution's needs. In addition to building their skills and knowledge, many librarians
tell us that our training is the most fun training they've ever had!
After conducting programming for children and families in their libraries, here are some librarians' observations:

BRUNSWICK, GA. | A Brunswick man who looked into leaving the country after serving time on a child pornography charge is back in jail, this time on a child molestation charge.
A 6-year-old girl who had been playing outside at the Sea Breeze hotel told her mother Friday that a neighbor had exposed his genitals to her, Brunswick police spokeswoman Angela Smith said.
Brunswick police investigated and arrested Samuel Waid Hunter, 66, on a charge of child molestation, Smith said.
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, GA — Two years and 10 months after Ernest Andrus touched the Pacific Ocean and headed east on foot, the Atlantic washed over the 93-year-old World War II veteran's running shoes as he completed his cross-country run.
With family around him and more than 1,000 looking on, Andrus beamed as his daughter Cathy Ratledge and stepdaughter Linda Inforzato kissed him on his cheeks.
A few weeks ago, the Friends of the St. Johns River Ferry in Mayport erected a historic marker to memorialize Fort Caroline, the first European settlement built in the New World. It's not far from the National Park Service's Fort Caroline Memorial.
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — A Brunswick, Ga., man was killed Saturday when a single-engine plane crashed into a house near the southeast corner of the main runway of the McKinnon St. Simons Island Airport, officials said.
"There was one fatality,'' said Jay Wiggins, Glynn County director of Emergency Management. "There was no intrusion into the residence. No one was home."
Officials identified the pilot as 68-year-old Brunswick resident James Ronald Wood.
"There was significant damage done to the front of the plane,'' Glynn County Fire Chief Samuel C. Gardner said.
A feasibility study on an affiliation between Southeast Georgia Health System, Flagler Hospital of St. Augustine and Baptist Health should be complete around Thanksgiving, said Carlton DeVooght, the former Southeast Georgia Health vice president who is now coordinating a newly created entity.
DeVooght, who also served as the health system's senior counsel, is senior vice president of Coastal Community Health in Jacksonville, said Gary Colberg, president and CEO of Southeast Georgia Health System.
BRUNSWICK — As Adam Christopher Griffis and Andres Santiago Lopez Sr. flew south from Concord, N.C., Griffis put up Facebook postings from the air showing two men enjoying their flight as casual as a summer drive.
"Back in NC and turning around to go back to Florida," Monday's post reads. In an earlier post under the words "Flyin in the soup" is a selfie photo of the two smiling men in ATP Flight School shirts. A photo over the twin-engine Piper Seminole's left wing shows a strip of blue sky between sunlit clouds.
BRUNSWICK — A former bank director accused of embezzling and losing millions in investor funds before disappearing 18 months ago had been homeless and surviving as a migrant worker, a federal probation officer said Thursday.
BRUNSWICK, Ga. — A Glynn County grand jury has indicted De'Marquise Kareem Elkins, 17, and Dominique Demetrius Lang, 14, on murder and other charges in the March 21 death of a 13-month old boy. It also indicted Elkins' mother and sister with tampering with evidence in throwing the pistol that was used to shoot the child and his mother in a pond.
Elkins is also accused of shooting a man in a March 11 robbery attempt, and his mother and another aunt are charged with making false statements to police.
The Honey Prairie Fire that had been lazily eating away at the Okefenokee Swamp has jumped outside national refuge boundaries and burned an estimated 1,300 additional acres, said Arthur Webster, supervisory ranger at the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge.
Two spot fires, a mile to two miles apart, started a quarter to a half mile outside in a swampy area on privately owned land, Webster said.
"They went from a hot spot inside the refuge,'' he said. "As firefighters were putting out those, the fire spotted behind them.''
In spite of at least an inch of rain the day before, the Honey Prairie Fire was still active Sunday in a spot in the middle of the Okefenokee Swamp.
The incident response team was monitoring about 130 acres of active flames just north of Billys Island, the northernmost reach of the fire thus far after it raced across the island Friday, said Byron Haire, a fire information officer for the Georgia Forestry Commission.
The fire was being watched from the air but there were no plans to attack it with waterdrops unless it really began kicking up, Haire said.

Terry Burton, the West Bromwich Albion technical director, has reacted to the supporter backlash over Alan Irvine's controversial appointment by claiming the new head coach can be their answer to Brendan Rodgers.
West Brom supporters have reacted with anger to the 55-year-old Scot's surprise instalment after Tim Sherwood turned down the post.
Irvine joins from Everton where he was academy manager following stints in charge of Preston North End and Sheffield Wednesday. He has, however, never managed in the Premier League.
A supporters' protest has been planned outside The Hawthorns on Saturday, yet Burton insists Irvine will win them over,

Grilled Banana Bread Peanut Butter S'Mores!
(Credit: Half Baked Harvest)
After Sandwich Week, we thought we'd seen it all. We've seen grilled cheese with more cheese for bread, sandwiches that readers would fly around the world for, and even heard tell of chicken noodle soup sandwiches. But then Tieghan, the 19-year-old food blogger behind Half Baked Harvest, came up with her Grilled Banana Bread Peanut Butter S'More, and proved us dead wrong.
"Oh, it's just a dessert version of a grilled cheese," you might say, or "just some banana bread sandwich," but you don't understand. The banana bread isn't your run of the mill, getting-rid-of-old-bananas recipe, it's her own Whole Wheat Graham Cracker Banana Bread, which she invented specifically to stop her younger cousins from eating more s'mores, by using up all the graham crackers in the house. That's right: this delicious, mutated S'more was actually born from fierce anti-S'more sentiment. It's like if the Gift of the Magi had a happy ending!
(Credit: Half Baked Harvest)
And if that wasn't enough, she also
made the marshmallows herself, from scratch, and had the brilliant idea of adding peanut butter to the whole thing. It's dishes like these that make all the years spent studying to be a Kookeronomist worth it.
Get the recipe over at Half Baked Harvest.

Happy Hump-D-Hump hump day everyone. Today, once again, I forgot write the blog I was supposed to do, in lieu of whatever you want to call this. I'm not doing a news post again because even I found that to be boring. So, what have you guys been playing right now? Me? Nothing but fighting games of course.
Street Fighter X Tekken Version 2013
Yeah, I've been playing this game. Yes, I know I'm going to get some crap about this and I working on a blog on my extended thoughts. As for right now, I can tell you the patched version of the game does make it a much faster paced game. Many of the buffs and nerfs equalize the playing field (unless your Paul now in which it doesn't even matter how ridiculous he's gotten). But does all of that make it a game worth getting? Eh... Read the blog when I get a chance to write it.
Skull Girls
This is the third time in this whole BaD that I've mentioned the game and more stuff is coming for it. A Japanese version of the game is coming out on Valentine's Day, the first DLC character will be given out for free for a limited time when its done, and the Lab Zero crew is considering crowd funding for additional DLC characters which first one for this method will be a guy. Someday I have to write about how much I love this game and how much I wish I could find people to play with. Its a ghost town on PSN.
Soul Calibur V
I know that V has a lot of faults but I still really dig the game. Creation is fun and finding creative ways to use new meter system is fun to. It sucks that to achieve all of this they basically made the game less accessible to people. Still, I give Project Soul props for doing what most fighting game development teams wish they had the courage to do: make grand changes instead of small tiny ones. Now if I could only understand how to do Just Guards...
So that's what's up with the world of myself. How are you all doing? Feel free to sound of below. I've got a lot of writing ahead of me... or not... I don't know.

With interest, we have read the article of Wassertheil-Smoller et al1 on depression and cardiovascular sequelae in postmenopausal women. The authors report that depression is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality among postmenopausal women being studied in the Women's Health Initiative Observation Study. However, as the effect of depression on noncardiovascular mortality is not described, it remains unclear whether depression specifically increases cardiovascular mortality. Therefore, we calculated the mortality risks of depressed women by using the event rates as presented by the authors. It appears that depressed women were at an increased risk for both cardiovascular (relative risk, 1.52; 95% confidence interval, 1.26-1.83) and noncardiovascular mortality (relative risk, 1.25; 95% confidence interval, 1.12-1.40) (Table). Therefore, it is more likely that depression increases mortality through aspecific mechanisms such as noncompliance with medical treatment rather than through specific biological mechanisms affecting cardiovascular disease risk.2 We do not know if this conclusion extends to women without cardiovascular disease at baseline because we could not calculate the noncardiovascular mortality in these subjects from the presented data.

First Lady Michelle Obama will be hosting Nancy Reagan at a private lunch – just the two of them – in the White House family living quarters. "She just thinks the world of you," President Obama whispered to Mrs. Reagan on Tuesday when she attended a Washington, D.C., bill-signing ceremony to create the Ronald Reagan Centennial Commission.
The former First Lady, who had not met the President before, seemed charmed as he put pen to paper. "You're a lefty?" she asked. "I'm a lefty," he answered. Handing her one of the souvenir pens he used to sign the bill, he somewhat sheepishly said, "You have plenty of presidential pens."
As for Mrs. Obama, she and Mrs. Reagan spoke by phone after President Obama's election last November, when Mrs. Obama called for advice about the job of First Lady and life in the executive mansion. Mrs. Reagan said in an interview with Vanity Fair that her advice to the Obamas was to have lots of state dinners.
The former First Lady, 88, who lives in California, is in Washington for the unveiling of a statue of Ronald Reagan in the Capitol and a reunion of former members of the Reagan administration.

During the Cassini spacecraft's cruise phase and nominal mission, the Cassini Science Planning Team developed and maintained an online database of geometric and timing information called the Cassini Tour Atlas. The Tour Atlas consisted of several hundreds of megabytes of EVENTS mission planning software outputs, tables, plots, and images used by mission scientists for observation planning. Each time the nominal mission trajectory was altered or tweaked, a new Tour Atlas had to be regenerated manually.
The task of manually generating the number of trajectory analyses in the allotted time would have been impossible, so the entire task was automated using code written in five different programming languages. This software automates the generation of the Cassini Tour Atlas database. It performs with one UNIX command what previously took a day or two of human labor.

People have often asked me the same question about insects that they have about my Doberman pinchers. "Do they bite?" My answers are the same. "Anything with a mouth can bite." The real question should be, "WILL they bite?"
Interestingly enough, the insects that can actually bite are the ones that only bite people in self defense. The insects that deliberately attack people are not technically biting-they are puncturing!
The mouths of insects are totally different from those of higher animals. There are two basic types of insect mouths, biting/chewing and piercing/sucking and some variations of those basic mouth types. All of the insects that feed on blood are piercing/sucking insects. There are no insects that simply come up and bite chunks out of live people or animals to eat, although there are some that eat dead animal matter.
Biting/chewing insects include predators, scavengers and plant feeders. Some examples are beetles, dragonflies, grasshoppers, dobsonflies, mantises, roaches, termites, bees, wasps and ants. Some insects have biting/chewing mouthparts only as larvae such as caterpillars.
Piercing/sucking insects can be predators, blood-suckers or plant feeders and include aphids, scale insects, planthoppers, assassin bugs, giant water bugs, boxelder bugs, stink bugs, fleas, lice, mosquitoes and "biting" flies. There are also sucking insects that cannot pierce. They include butterflies, moths, house flies and fruit flies.
Our teeth and tongues, of course, are inside our mouths. Biting/chewing insects have mouthparts outside of the actual mouth cavity. Picture the gigantic insects in sci-fi movies with all the wiggling, wormlike parts around their mouths. There is a set of hard, toothed jaws-the mandibles-which move from side to side like scissors or pliers and are used for biting, chewing and breaking up food. Behind them are food-handling parts called the maxillae and labium, both with finger-like projections called palps. The palps feel, smell and taste the food and pass it on back to the mouth.
Mandibles come in various sizes and shapes. Predatory insects can have large, sickle-like mandibles projecting out in front of their heads for capturing prey. Mandibles are also used for self defense and in construction of homes. And we have all seen ants carrying huge loads of food in their mandibles. A biting insect can use its mandibles to pinch you if you capture it, but it will not go out of its way to do this. So, you could possibly be bitten by anything from a ladybug to a grasshopper or a caterpillar, but it isn't likely unless they think their lives are in danger.
Piercing/sucking insects do not have any jaws. Instead, their mouthparts are modified to form needle-like stylets to puncture their food, animal or vegetable, and a tube to suck liquid. If they are plant feeders, they pierce stems and leaf veins and suck sap. If they are blood feeders, they do the same on animals.
Butterflies and moths have a proboscis, a long tube that they can extend to suck nectar from flowers and roll up under their heads when not in use.
House flies, fruit flies and some other flies have sponging mouthparts to slurp up liquids. House flies will regurgitate digestive juices on solid food to liquify it so they can mop it up. Stable flies look almost exactly like house flies, but they do bite. So, how do you tell the difference? If you are around a barn or stable and a fly resembling a house fly bites you, it is a stable fly!
Mosquitoes are typical piercing/sucking blood feeders. However, some blood-feeding flies, such as horse flies, black flies and deer flies, have mouthparts more like knives, so they slash and suck, usually leaving bleeding wounds. All of the blood-feeding flies are females. Blood proteins are necessary for egg development. The males visit flowers for nectar.
Bees have modified biting/sucking mouthparts. They have mandibles that they use for handling building material, grooming and work around the nest, but have a proboscis for drinking nectar and water.

If I'm Babs, I'm rolling this in game 7:
#1) Datsyuk...Filppula...Holmstrom/Cleary
#2) Zetterberg...Franzen?(/Modano)...Cleary/Bertuzzi
#3) Helm...Eaves...Hudler/Abdelkader
12th) Miller/Modano/Draper
...Like I said, #1) I'd put Flip on Pav's wing on the first line, and that'd bump Mule (or Modano, if he's hurt) to Hank's wing on the second line. #2) I'd rotate Homer, Cleary and Bert as the net-front presences on the top two lines, as Homer isn't getting a lot of even-strength ice time in. #3) I'd rotate Hudler, Eaves and Abby as the wings on the third line, depending on the situation. #4) Then you've got a lot of options with the 12th forward - Do you want Miller for the PK? Do you want Modano for the PP? Do you want Draper for FOs? I'd probably go with Miller.

Polar Bears And Global Warming Effects
Recent studies since the year 2004 on polar bears and global warming have shown an alarming increase of polar bear drowning. Since polar bears are basically good swimmers, researchers were puzzled how and why they drowned.
Investigations soon showed that the combination of fewer and smaller ice floes and erratic climate changes have contributed to this situation.
The main cause of global warming is said to be emissions from burning fossil fuels. Although this is not the only cause for global warming, it is one of the main causes of temperature change.
The increase in the temperature of the air near the Earth's surface (land and oceans) has effectively started melting the polar ice caps. In addition to eventually leading to a rise in sea level, this melting affects the ice shelves and ice floes – the habitat of polar bears.
Polar Bears Must Hunt for Food
The result of melting ice caps means that polar bears and global warming is a fatal combination – because many bears are now drowning due to lack of ice floes to hunt and den on.
Other devastating effects are that bears are being reduced to hunting less on ice floes and instead venturing closer to humans.
The creatures' usual staple of seals may dwell further out in the ocean. This means a more strenuous hunting journey with ice floes being fewer and farther between. To avoid straying so far from home, polar bears are being forced to scavenge around carcasses of animals killed by humans.
"What do polar bears and global warming have to do with me?" you might ask. And I would answer, "Quite a lot."
Maybe more than you could guess.
Polar bears are among the first large species to have been directly affected by global warming. You don't have to think real hard to conclude that we will soon follow in the polar bears footsteps if we don't take action soon to slow down climate change.
The majority of the world's climate scientists agree – we need to solve global warming. . . starting NOW! Scientists at the U.S.Geological Survey say two-thirds of polar bears could die off within the next 50 years. Arctic and Antarctic species such as walruses, seals and penguins could soon find themselves on the same precarious path to extinction.
Treasured species like the polar bear and the grizzly won't survive unless we take the needed steps to solve global warming right now.
For the sake of the polar bear, and other species and wildlands affected by global warming, we can't wait any longer – America needs an energy policy now that helps solve global warming by investing in clean energy solutions.

The Penn State University Board of Trustees will meet this weekend to discuss the NCAA sanctions and the search for a new university president.
The sanctions included a four-year bowl ban and a $60 million fine.
"I believe that the NCAA overstepped its authority. We as a board have never adopted or accepted the Freeh Report that appears to be the basis for those sanctions. Only time will tell how that gets resolved," said Penn State Trustee Anthony Lubrano.
Rodney Erickson, who took over as president when Graham Spanier left under pressure, has said he's not coming back after his contract expires in 2014.
