"Computerized clinic for superior cynics/who dance to a synthetic band/In their own image, their world is fashioned/No wonder they don't understand."
When Rush lyricist/drummer Neil Peart offered this opinion, on the 1980 magnum opus "Natural Science," he was bemoaning the fickle trend-hopping tendencies of a listening public forever being sold a "next big thing," and simultaneously, the tendency of music industry movers and shakers to downplay the human element in music making, in order to urge forward an assembly line approach to the creation and dissemination of "music product."
He wasn't wrong then. The 30-odd years that have passed have only deepened the prescience of Peart's observation.
What has been particularly exciting about the emergence of the "jam-tronica" movement over the past several years is the way that "techno" – a snappy descriptive meant to suggest the metronomic exactitude and repetition of computer-based music – has been reintroduced to the "human element." It's as if the ghost is struggling to dominate the machine. The musicians are seeking to make themselves a necessary part of music making once more. One can easily read into this a metaphorical struggle of the human spirit to assert itself amidst a dehumanizing culture.
How does this happen? It can often be as simple as reintroducing real-time musicianship into the techno formula. Employing the beats that are requisite to the creation of dance-based techno, but then getting living, breathing musicians to play along, offer human commentary, find the soul in between the bits and bytes.
The mainstream club scene has always been the battleground for this metaphorical war between technology and humanity. Clubs don't succeed unless they are full of paying customers on a regular basis. That means, more often than not, lots of dancing, which can also often involve lots of drinking.
The prevailing logic is (still) based around the idea that a DJ is more desirable to a club owner than a band of musicians. DJs keep the beats flowing, they keep the dance floor throbbing, they play tunes that people already know, they don't bring too much in the way of equipment, and there's usually only one of them.
Bands, on the other hand, are comprised of several people, all of whom have their own equipment, not to mention their own personalities, and all of whom would like to be paid at the end of the evening. They also tend to demand artistic freedom, unless they happen to have been booked as cover bands, in which case they are happy to play other people's music all night long. In short, you never know exactly what you're going to get with a band. With a DJ, you'll get exactly what you expect, pretty much every time.
The economic reality of this fact has dictated a change in the broader world of music, toward that techno-based dystopia Peart was predicting back in 1980. Call it the totalitarian impulses of the dance beat. You can now pay top dollar to watch a DJ "spin" tunes in a massive concert arena. Last summer, the DJ known as Girl Talk headlined a show at Buffalo's Outer Harbor. The two biggest DJs in the world – Skrillex and David Guetta – earn their nut "playing" festivals like Coachella. They are the new rock stars. And they don't employ musicians.
Meanwhile, down in the underground, where the most exciting and dynamic music is almost always being made, DJs who still spin and manipulate vinyl records, as opposed to the "digital spinning" favored by the top-dollar DJs, are hooking up with real-time musicians to "jam." And bands are employing laptops to keep the four-on-the-floor going while they construct compositions, improvise and take off on collective jams around that techno pulse. This is happening in Buffalo clubs that feature live music on a consistent basis, most nights of the week.
I see this phenomenon as a case of musicians battling to reclaim territory stolen from them by the dictators of dance-mania. It's not a new story. And it doesn't suggest that there is anything inherently wrong with dance music, at all. But it's happening. Musicians are a tenacious lot. They want their piece of the musical pie. After all, they spent all that time learning how to play. They'd prefer that computers don't put them out of business.
Some of the most exciting music being made is the purview of bands marrying a deeply human jam ethic to a techno-based rhythmic structure. So those who love to dance can dance. And the guitar geeks can stand there with their jaws hanging open while some serious six-string virtuoso spanks out a killer solo. Everybody's happy.
One of the finest of these newer bands, Jimkata, plays at 8 p.m. Thursday in Duke's Bohemian Grove Bar (253 Allen St.). This Northeastern four-piece released what might be the finest jam-tronica album extant last year, in the form of "Die Digital." The record convincingly marries rock instrumentation, strong songwriting and a deeply human element to techno-based dance music. It is, in many ways, the shot fired over the bow in the battle between straight DJ music and live band performance.
One can rest fairly assured that there will be others.

The Idea Exchange has two goals:
1) to provide informative, thesis-driven, and peer-reviewed essays from multiple perspectives on topics that are mainstays of community college and undergraduate lectures (e.g. Caesar and his role in the fall of the Republic), and
2) to model effective essay writing.
Experts in the field will write about these "enduring questions." Having several scholars weigh in on these topics will provide varying viewpoints and encourage critical thought. Each essay will be about 2,000-3,000 words. The honorarium for each piece is $250.
We need contributors for several questions:
--What caused the ninth-century crisis in Chinese Buddhism?
--Who were the Sea Peoples who terrorized the Mediterranean in the 2nd millennium BCE?
--What role did slavery play in sustaining the Choson dynasty in Korea?
--What happened to the Mound Builder cultures of prehistoric North America?
If interested, please reply to this inquiry as soon as is convenient. We would be looking for a deadline of August 1, 2012 (though there is a bit of wiggle room there).
Please provide a c.v., your academic affiliation, and the best way to contact you (much of our correspondence is conducted via email).

Sakurai's been quoted saying "I love all my characters! :laughs:". So I think if he can avoid cutting, he will.... We'll soon see if Sakurai will change his mind in regards t' whether or not he wants to remove characters. ;_;
I've actually never heard that statement, but I suppose being cut from Brawl is a double edged sword. But, remember if Sakurai had it his way we would have four more clones in Brawl. Toon Zelda, Toon Shiek, Roy, and Doctor Mario.I disagree. Sakurai has implicitly stated he strived t' erase clones from Brawl. I can only imagine he'll try even harder to keep clones outta Smash 4. Doc won't return before a new character will both because of his history as a clone and the fact he's literally still Mario, even if he has a completely different moveset.
You can, it would just be stupid. I'm not expecting that though, heck, I'm not expecting Junior to begin with. I think ultimately, him and Doc are the most likely choices, but I don't know how likely a Mario character is. I agree with you that on merits alone, Junior could get in Smash, but I also think Toad has enough merits as well.Who would Jr. be a clone of, Bowser... ? Definitely not. Jr. obviously wouldn't be a heavy hitter, nor is he large and can breath fire. Ya definitely couldn't just paste Bowser's moveset onto his son and call that adequate. Sakurai definitely wouldn't do that.
Plus that's just such a random little rule to make for Sakurai to make for himself.Don't believe Sakurai ever stated there can only be one villain per series. Don't think he ever would neither considerin' the hero-villain ratio we currently have
Anyways, here's my vote:

TV Ratings: 'Masterchef' wins the night, and 'Hellcats' debuts well
"Masterchef" led FOX to a ratings win on Wednesday night, but the most notable Nielsen developments happened over on the CW, which has been an embarrassingly distant fifth place for virtually the whole summer but edged out ABC last night thanks to "America's Next Top Model" and the promising debut of "Hellcats."
For the night, FOX averaged a 2.4/7 rating/share in the 18-49 year-old demographic and 5.7 million viewers overall. NBC was second in the demo at 2.1/6 and won the night in total viewers with 8.4 million. CBS was third with a 1.8/5 and 6.8 million, followed by the CW at 1.3/4 and 2.9 million, just ahead of ABC's 1.2/4 and 4.1 million.
CBS' "Big Brother" won the 8 o'clock hour with 2.6/8 in the demo and 7.7 million viewers. "Masterchef" was second with a 2.3/7 and 5.5 million. NBC's "Minute to Win It" was third with a 1.8/6 and 6.5 million. "Top Model" averaged a 1.3/4 and 2.9 million. That's a bit off of the 1.5 demo rating the show's premiere drew a year ago, but that was on a night when the bigger broadcast networks were pre-empting their programming for a President Obama address. Repeats of "The Middle" on ABC drew a 1.2/4 and 4.7 million.
At 9, the "America's Got Talent" results show won the hour, with a 2.7/8 in the demo and 12 million viewers. "Masterchef" was close behind in the demo, at 2.6/7, but only 6 million viewers. A "Criminal Minds" repeat on CBS drew a 1.6/5 and 6.8 million, followed by "Modern Family" and "Cougar Town" repeats on ABC combining to average a 1.4/4 and 3.9 million.
"Hellcats" held onto most of the "Top Model" demo, with a 1.2/3, and actually beat it out in total viewers, with close to 3 million. As promising as the retention of its lead-in was that the audience actually moved up a tick in the second half-hour, which is always a positive sign, since new shows tend to lose audience at the half-hour, even if they're doing well overall.
At 10, a "Law & Order: SVU" repeat finished first with a 1.8/5 and 6.6 million viewers. CBS' "CSI: NY" rerun drew a 1.2/4 and 6.1 million, while ABC's "Castle" repeat did a 1.0/3 and 3.7 million.
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change, particularly in the case of live events.

text: I was in utter dismay with the letter regarding the so-called children from Central America traveling to the U.S. border. How naive can the letter writer be? Does he really think that 9-year-olds, or even 18-year-old so-called children, could actually travel over 1,200 miles across strange, dangerous, and often hostile territory on their own? They were brought to the border by others, who were paid big money to do so. They were transported by unsavory people who would stoop to anything for money. As for our secure borders, they are practically non-existent.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Frigid temperatures and blistering winds will greet McHenry County residents Monday, a day after the county dodged the latest snow storm to hit the region.
A weekend snowstorm that ended late Sunday morning covered most of the county with three inches of snow, while areas near Rockford and southern Wisconsin saw up to five inches. Forecasts initially predicted that the northwest suburbs could see up to eight inches.
But the subfreezing temperatures expected to follow the storm Monday and Tuesday are the bigger concern, said Andrew Karein, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service.
"It's going to be a little light snow [Sunday] night, but the bigger weather impact will be the colder temperatures," Karein said.
By Monday morning, area residents can expect to feel temperatures in the low teens, with the wind chill dropping temperatures to five below zero. By Tuesday, temperatures should only reach the upper single digits, with a wind chill of 20 below zero.
The snowfall that started Saturday and carried into Sunday didn't create a spike in emergency calls. Area police and fire departments reported no major weather-related accidents with the latest winter storm.
By Sunday afternoon, McHenry County Sheriff deputies responded to one weather-related accident and assisted five motorists with pulling their cars out of ditches, said Sgt. Porfirio Campos-Cruz.
"It's not bad outside. It's drivable," Campos-Cruz said. "We thought it would be a bigger storm."
Roadways remained clear into Sunday evening. The lack of wind kept the roads free of snow and ice, Campos-Cruz said.

California is poised to fight air pollution with its controversial "cap and trade" plan designed to provide a financial incentive for polluters to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The state's Air Resources Board is expected to adopt the final draft of the measure Thursday.
"When Washington considers how to address climate change, as I think it will, California's climate plan will serve as a role model for the national program," board spokesman Stanley Young said.
The board will target power plants and other facilities considered to be the state's top offenders in air pollution.
Starting in 2013, those companies will be forced to buy permits that will limit the amount of greenhouse gases they can produce each year.
However, some of the regulated industries oppose the board's current plan. They see it as a new tax burden.
"We are very concerned about the negative impacts the policy may have on the state's economy, jobs picture, and energy costs," said Catherine Reheis-Boyd, president of the Western State Petroleum Association.
"This policy, if adopted, will amount to a new tax on refiners and other energy intensive industries that could total billions of dollars over several years," she added.
The move is the latest part of the state's 2006 Global Warming Law, which seeks to reduce the emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.

News from Upstate
Darryl Geddes 315 464-4828
New post will seek international research collaborations
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Ziwei Huang, Ph.D., professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacology and director of the Cancer Research Institute, has been named as Upstate's new associate vice president for research partnerships and international collaborations.
In his new post, Huang will lead the university's efforts in forming global collaborations among research and industry partners. A special focus will be on the establishment of new research and graduate partnerships in Asia Pacific and Europe using the model Upstate established with the creation of the International Institute of Biomedical Sciences and Technology (IIBMST) that features, in addition to Upstate, participation from National Cheng Kung University and the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. Partnerships with industry will help advance Upstate technological innovations.
"Dr. Huang's leadership in this important post, will enhance Upstate's ability to make valuable connections with global research partners and help extend SUNY's influence around the world," said David R. Smith, M.D., president of Upstate Medical University.
Huang joined Upstate in 2009 when he was appointed professor and chair of the pharmacology department and director of the Cancer Research Institute. He will continue to serve in these positions.
"Since coming to Upstate, Dr. Huang has been a major force in moving forward Upstate's strategic plan for research and his abundant energy and outstanding leadership of the pharmacology department and the Cancer Research Institute make him well suited to lead the university in fostering research partnerships locally, nationally and internationally," said Steven R. Goodman, Ph.D., Upstate vice president for research and dean of the School of Graduate Studies.
In addition to developing new research partnerships worldwide, Goodman said Huang will also develop a translational research education program that will provide stronger links between Upstate's basic and clinical science investigators. Huang also will seek to enhance collaboration among SUNY cancer researchers by leading the Cancer Group for SUNY REACH (Research, Excellence in Academic Health), a research network of SUNY academic medical centers helps advance the research vision of New York's public academic health centers and their integrated medical schools.as well as across the SUNY by heading the cancer research group for SUNY REACH. More than $4 million in research funding was awarded to SUNY academic medical centers this fall under the auspices of SUNY REACH.
"Dr. Huang's international focus and his work with business and industry will bring a valuable dimension to the College of Medicine's mission of teaching and research," said David Duggan, M.D., interim dean of the College of Medicine.
Prior to joining Upstate in 2009, Huang was a faculty member at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research and at the University of California at San Diego.

With Lehigh's first tournament win in four years at Bucknell's Fall Invite, many members of the Men's Golf team would agree that this has been the best season they've been a part of thus far. Led by senior captain Sean Keller, the Mountain Hawks finished the season with a second place finish at Colgate (of 9 teams), first place finish at Bucknell (of 8 teams), thirteenth place finish at Hartford (of 16 teams), a loss to Lafayette 6-7, and a solid finish of fourth place during the Lehigh Invitational at Saucon Valley.
Junior Andrew Arnold enthusiastically says that he believes this season has been Lehigh's most successful and his favorite so far.
"The Bucknell win was my first tournament win as a college player," said Arnold. "I played well in two tournaments and poorly in another, but overall my most memorable moment this year has been coming in third place during our win at Bucknell. I had the lead, slept on it by 7, and then increased it again in the final round which was something I had trouble doing last year so I was happy to finish strong."
Despite the individual nature of golf, the Lehigh team has truly bonded together this year, resulting in vast improvements from the problems which existed in previous years. Sophomore Carlos Kim is one member who has differentiated himself in recent matches, exemplifying great improvements and promise.
"Harley Abrahams, while only a Freshman, has significantly contributed to the growth of the team shooting two under at Colgate and continuing to have played well for the rest of the season," said Arnold in support of his teammate.
Most members of the golf team would agree that Navy and Army consistently pose the greatest challenge to this Lehigh squad.
"We plan to beat them," said Kim. "We've seen a lot of practice time and have been greatly working the team with the standards and rules. I want us to win this year, as I believe we had the potential to win last year and just fell short. I have high hopes and believe we can pull it off if we all keep our priorities at hand."
Although Lehigh typically does not play Navy or Army in the fall, they will face off in the spring, assuming both league powerhouses qualify for the Patriot League Championship. Lehigh will host this year's Patriot League Championship at Saucon Valley.

This is a discussion on Cabin Air Filter Replacement Instructions within the Maintenance, service, and repair forums, part of the Tutorials & DIY category; Courtesy of www.subaruparts.com http://subaruparts.com/install/2002iairfilt.pdf...
Thanks for the info. The Subaru dealership wanted $122 to replace it.
Nice find Tan....Perhaps this should be moved over to Tutorial?

quick question:
Is this that OPTIONAL micro-air filter you can buy or is this the standrad air filter. The dealer told me there is already one air filter in there. The optional micro air filter is a 2nd filter in series with this standard filter. Is that correct?

I have never touched this part of my car before and does this mean I haven't had any filter in there for the last 65k miles??

Not unusual as I do not think they are factory installed, it is a dealer installed item. Someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
I mentioned the filter when I first bought my WRX new in 3/2004 - it was not factory installed then. My dealer was kind enough to install one for free and I have replaced them yearly since then.

Or you could just slide the lever over to the recycle mode and it won't suck in any air from the outside. You'll just keep breathing the air that is already in the car.

Pathfinder, Gates Foundation to Support Healthy Timing and Spacing of Pregnancies in Niger
Niamey, Niger – A focus on family planning services and the availability of long-acting reversible contraceptive methods are part of a new program to raise the contraceptive prevalence rate and promote healthy spacing of pregnancies in the West African nation of Niger, Pathfinder International announced.
Supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the four-year Promoting Access to Contraception for All (IMPACT) project will focus on three key underserved groups—young women, women receiving post-abortion care and postpartum services, and other women of childbearing age with an unmet need for contraception—ensuring their access to a variety of contraceptive methods, including long-acting reversible methods.
The IMPACT program launched on July 15 with a ceremony at Niamey's Hotel Gaweye.
Pathfinder representatives Stephen Redding, Vice President for Country and Regional Operations, Dr. Sani Aliou, the IMPACT program director and Pathfinder's country representative in Niger, and Jeannie Brown, Program Director for Niger, joined officials from the local government, civil society, and media at the ceremony.
The Gates Foundation commended Niger for its commitment to increasing its modern contraceptive prevalence rate in a written statement read by Pathfinder's Aliou. They expressed their commitment to providing Nigerien women reliable access to family planning information, products and services.
The ceremony was led by Minister of Public Health His Excellence Mr. Mano Aghaly. Also in attendance was Niger's Ministry of Health Secretary General Dr. Idrissa Maiga Mahamadou.
Reiterating the government's commitment to addressing demographic challenges, Aghaly praised the Gates Foundation for their contribution that will make a strong difference in improving the health status of Niger's children and women.
Addressing an Urgent Need
In Niger – a landlocked country in West Africa ranking at the very bottom of the United Nations Development Program's 2013 Human Development Index– only 12 percent of women use a modern method of contraception (NDHS 2012).
Its total fertility rate of 7.6 births, reaching 8.1 in rural areas—the highest reported in the world—is compounded by a large proportion of births that are narrowly spaced, as well as high rates of early marriage and childbearing.
In February 2011, Niger joined seven other Francophone West African countries at the Ouagadougou Conference on Population, Development, and Family Planning, affirming its commitment to addressing people's very low access to critical services for healthy timing and spacing of pregnancy.
Today, through its National Family Planning Strategic Plan 2012-2020, the government of Niger proves its commitment to increasing access to services for healthy timing and spacing of pregnancy to improve the health of mothers and babies.
Working at the community level
Pathfinder's work to improve sexual and reproductive health is fundamentally about improving how systems work, both a community system and the formal health system.
The IMPACT project activities begin at the community level, providing support to two cadres of community health workers—relais communautaires (relais) and Agents de Santé Communautaire (ASC). The project will offer services for healthy timing and spacing of pregnancy, in line with guidelines from the Ministry of Health.
The project will also support routine, systematic outreaches for maternal and child care, including the provision of a range of contraceptive methods.
To address the formal health systems, the IMPACT project will expand people's access to method mix and quality services at the facility level—at Centre de Santé Intégré and the district hospitals.

I got my Ray a week ago and love it but I'm having trouble connecting it to my PC. I have downloaded PC Companion but when I connect my phone in MTP mode nothing happens. If I change the connection setting to MSC then it does recognise it but I can't update the phone.
If I connect in MSC and then follow the steps suggested when you choose update, this is what happens: I choose update and it tells me to follow these instructions:
Drag down status bar - I do that
Choose Disconnect phone - I do that
Choose MTP - I do that
It then takes a while and tells me that the setting I have chosen is not the correct one for the update.
Please help, I find this sort of thing the most annoying out of all of life's irritations. I was in a brilliant mood this morning, full of festive cheer but now I feel like breaking something. I've been trying now for an hour and a half. Why must it be so hard!
Also, in case this helps, when I originally connected the phone up my device manager didn't work properly and said that there was an error installing the hardware and access was denied. I had to install the PC Companion manually myself.
(Also, is no one on here? It's saturday afternoon and I posted this an hour ago and no one wants to help me. Looks like Sony aren't really fussed once you've paid for their product.)
Please use Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) to update the phone. It always succeeds unlike the PC companion.
Are you having administrator rights on your PC?
Yes, I have administrator rights, thanks.
Will I be able to use SEUS if my PC doesn't recognise my phone?
I'd really like to be able to use this phone properly so any help to get MTP working would be great.
Great, Install SEUS from here
Update the phone.
OK thanks but will that recognize my phone though? Also I want to be able to use PC companion properly. Is there something I can do to fix this MTP problem?
Try this before you repair your software (seen this tip on another forum):
Go to Settings->Applications->All Applications, find MTP application then clear its data.
Reconnect phone to computer and check if it works. (wait for a longer while)
For updating use SEUS.
MTP is useful if you need to connect the phone with Media Go or something.
MSC is also used for connecting the phone with Media Go but you can also access the filesystem.
Update via SEUS and lets see ... First try the suggestion from Thethirdone and check if it helps and then proceed to update. There might be an update for your ray anyway.
OK so I tried theidone's suggestion and it didn't work so I tried to update using seus and it crashed my computer! It got to the bit where I had to hold down the volume down button on my phone and plug it in and I just got an endless egg timer and nothing else would work at all! Had to reset in the end.

Discovery Bay 'choke hold' threatens trail
by MARK ST.J. COUHIG
Sequim Gazette
The Peninsula Trails Coalition says a state plan for re-opening a lagoon on Discovery Bay has put the "vision" for the Olympic Discovery Trail in jeopardy. That vision calls for a 126-mile multi-use trail that stretches unbroken from Port Townsend to the Pacific Ocean.
"There are a few places where topography, politics and land ownership create a choke hold," said Andrew Stevenson, co-president with his wife, Chris Gutmacher, of the coalition.
The newest road block, Stevenson said, concerns a brief portion of the abandoned railway along Discovery Bay, just west of Fat Smitty's.
Stevenson said utilizing the railroad bed, which includes a picturesque trestle, was always part of the long-term trail plan — "a no-brainer," he said. He noted the stretch is perfectly located, has a superb road base and provides stunning views.
Unfortunately for the trail planners, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife will soon remove the trestle and lower most of the rail bed to restore to full health a lagoon that is fertile grounds for shellfish. The department recently provided the North Olympic Salmon Coalition with a grant to do just that.
The trails coalition is now working with NOSC to design an alternative route, which Stevenson said will almost certainly run along U.S. Highway 101 between the highway and the shore. That puts the designers between a rock and a hard spot — or more accurately, between the shoreline and the highway, both of which are teeming with regulatory requirements. It's a "perfect storm of permits," Stevenson said. "Every agency in the country is involved."
Stevenson said two other alternative routes that have been discussed for the trail would each require two hazardous crossings of Hwy. 101, an easement through developed land and permits through the environmentally sensitive Salmon Creek area. He said those options are, for all practical purposes, impossible.
Some good news
The good news is that the trails coalition may catch a ride on the regulatory coattails of NOSC, which as part of the lagoon restoration project will move a water pipeline to the same stretch of highway.
The bad news is that the trails coalition has "to march to their timetable. Why would they wait for us?" Stevenson asked.
He added that designing a trail that follows the new pipeline will cost $45,000, and the money has to be in hand by March 31. So far the trails coalition has committed $10,000 of its own funds toward the project, and they've been successful in raising an additional $23,000.
"The Olympic Peninsula responded in an amazing way," Stevenson said. He said he now feels fairly confident the $45,000 will be raised in time, though he admits that may require draining the coalition's bank account.
"Working together with the North Olympic Salmon Coalition, we have contracted with Parametrix, a Pacific Northwest company, to get the job done," he said.
The next step, however, is a doozy. Stevenson estimates building the trail itself will cost about $650,000 — and he's not sure where that money is coming from. Furthermore, it has to be gathered quickly.
Stevenson said the issue is made more difficult because Jefferson County, where that portion of the trail is located, isn't as vigorous a partner in trails construction and maintenance as Clallam County and the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe.
Chuck Preble, vice president of the coalition, said they need Jefferson County to "assume leadership" in getting the job done.
Unfortunately, he said, "Jefferson just doesn't seem to understand the importance of this trail."
Stevenson said that's somewhat understandable: the population of Jefferson runs north-south, while the trail runs east-west. "You very quickly run out of a constituency," he noted.
But in the end, Stevenson said, the potential exists for a win-win situation. The peninsula might eventually enjoy a world-class amenity — if the hurdles can be overcome.
Preble noted that non-motorized tourism is growing rapidly in importance. Cutting Port Townsend out of the picture just doesn't make sense, he said. "We need our entry dock," he said.
"I'll make a deal with the devil," Stevenson said.
"Not really," he followed up with a smile.
But Stevenson did provide an assurance that the all-volunteer organization is pulling out all the stops in getting the job accomplished.
"We've been working on this trail for over twenty years," Stevenson said. "Community support has gotten us a long way in making the dream a reality, and community support, both locally and statewide, is needed now more than ever to keep the dream alive."

Harbor Creek holds off South Park in PIAA first round
Zach Wainwright made crucial save after crucial save in the second half to help Harbor Creek hold off South Park 2-1 in a PIAA Class AA boys soccer first-round match today at Veterans Stadium.
Harbor Creek (21-0-0), ranked No. 6 in the state, will head to the quarterfinals Saturday at a site and time to be determined.
South Park, the No. 2 team in the state, ended its season at 20-3-0.
Dan Kuhn gave the Huskies a quick 1-0 lead in the first half before Justin Minda got loose to tie the match in the 14th minute. Jonny Warren then found Eric Campbell right before halftime to give Harbor Creek a 2-1 lead it wouldn't relinquish in the second half.

Crude oil doesn't only come from oil wells; some plants make oil in their seeds that could be used for making biodiesel or bioplastics. SG Biofuels focuses on Jatropha curcas, a fast-growing, nonedible shrub that grows wild in Central America. Its seeds contain up to 40% oil, which "is of excellent quality for making biodiesel and for blending with aviation fuel," according to Robert Schmidt, Ph.D., chief scientist at SG Biofuels and a plant biologist at the University of California San Diego. Unfortunately, "there's been lots of hype, but little credible development of Jatropha," adds Kirk Haney, president and CEO.
Current yields of oil from cultivated Jatropha reach 200–300 gallons per acre, which is five times more than from soybeans and twice that of canola yields. Classic plant-breeding experiments, now under way in greenhouses, will substantially boost the oil content of seeds and allow Jatropha to grow in colder temperatures. Additionally, Jatropha is a nonfood crop, sparing it from a public backlash by those opposed to deriving biofuels from food crops.
Once Jatropha is genetically improved, "production costs for the oil could be well under $1 per gallon," says Haney. The company is developing Jatropha plantations on marginal land in Central America. The plants' seeds will be crushed to produce crude oil to sell to local refineries. "We have a platform that will grow for the next five to ten years," predicts Haney.
Like Jatropha, microalgae are another potential source of oil often surrounded by more hype than substance. Mario Larach, chairman of Kai BioEnergy, plans to bring a credible voice to microalgae.
Kai is the Hawaiian word for ocean, which is suitable for the firm since its technology is based on marine diatoms that produce light sweet crude oil of a quality suitable for aviation fuel. "The fuel produced by microalgae probably will be better than fossil fuels because it is not contaminated with sulfur," says Larach.
Kai BioEnergy holds a patent from the University of Hawaii that insures the growth of diatom monocultures, and it invented an environmentally friendly, water-based extraction method to pop open diatoms to release the oil.
One acre of microalgae can yield up to 15,000 gallons of ethanol. Other advantages of microalgae include its preference to grow on substandard land in brackish salt water. Microalgae also require carbon dioxide, so production ponds can be placed near power plants to capture and recycle the polluting greenhouse gas. Moreover, the diatom shells, which are 60% high-quality silica, can be recycled as a filtration material.
Kai BioEnergy developed its prototype methods on a half-acre pond in Hawaii. Now Larach is scouting for 50 acres near San Diego to scale up production. "San Diego is an optimal location because of its scientific talent, access to farmland, ideal weather, and huge demand for clean energy products," says Larach.

In Seattle last weekend, that phenomenon became extreme in the Belltown neighborhood, reviving a public policy debate. Seattle still waiting for state's vote to extend bar hours By The Associated Press • Apr 30, 2012 Following objections from other cities, Seattle will have to wait a month to know if its efforts to extend bar hours beyond 2 a.m. can go forward. Seattle officials have wanted to make last call later, arguing that law enforcement is burdened by a mass of drunks tumbling out of night clubs and bars.

Hiring a Babysitter Made Me a Better MomRebekah Kuschmider
As I write this, my kids are in the basement with a 17-year-old high school senior. They're having a lovely time playing and accepting her undivided attention. While they all do that, I'm upstairs at my computer, writing blog posts, checking bank balances, paying bills, making calls. All the things I can't do with the kids underfoot. All things that distract me from the kids when they're left undone.
The babysitter was my husband's idea. I was losing my mind while he was away on a business trip and the result was a flurry of angry text messages to him at 5:30 AM. The gist of it was, my baby had refused to leave my side for the entire duration of his trip. I'd been in the presence of one or both of my kids for 15 hours per day and my patience was coming to its end. (Before anyone jumps down my throat about not being tolerant enough of my children, ask yourself if there's anyone you would like to be in the same room with for 15 unbroken hours. I bet the list is pretty short. I bet it gets shorter if you have to do it for 5 days in a row and that person can't control their own bowels. Just saying.) During the spate of angry texts, my husband told me I should hire a sitter to give me a break. I recoiled from the idea initially. For one thing, it seemed like an unjustified expense. For another, I don't want to be that mom. The stay-at-home mom with a nanny.
Then I remembered something. I'm not just a stay-at-home mom. I'm a professional blogger. I have goals and deadlines every week and I get cash in exchange for my work. When I worked full time at an office, I had professional child care. Why is it wrong to hire a sitter to watch the kids while I do this kind of work, even if I'm doing it in my house?
Galvanized, I sent a note off to a a high school senior who's watched my kids for date nights. We arranged for her to come by for a few hours per week to play with the kids so I can have uninterrupted time for my work and for managing the parts of my family's life that need more than 2 consecutive seconds of my attention. The first week it struck me as weird to be ignoring the sounds of my children. But once I swallowed my knee-jerk respinse instinct, I was able to slam out four blog posts, respond to numerous emails, make a bunch of phone calls, and generally breathe for a bit.
After the first day with the sitter, something miraculous happened: I was able to turn my full and undivided attention to my husband and kids. I wasn't listening with half my brain while the other half thought about my next promotional tweet. I stopped stressing about my baby's craptastic nap schedule because I didn't rely on those naps as my work time. I had all my errands done before the weekend because I wasn't cutting everything short to get home and write. I had lunch with a friend and her baby and enjoyed every second of it. Suddenly, I was present in my life in a way I haven't been in months. All because I hired a sitter to help me draw the line between working and momming.
Even if I wasn't trying to balance a part-time paying gig as well as all my household and child-related responsibilities, I think a sitter would be beneficial to me. What no one tells you about being a stay at home mom is that there are a million non-kid things that you'll need to do as well, things that are hard to do with little kids in the room. When I worked in an office, finding five minutes to call the dentist and set up an appointment was easy. With a 5-year-old and a baby? Not so much. Reviewing bank accounts and managing money are not activities that can happen with kids grabbing for the laptop. I even put off some errands because doing them with kids is too arduous. Having an extra pair of hands during business hours changes all that. All my sitter does is play with the kids. Such a simple thing but it means that for a little while, I don't have to play with the kids and I can manage the rest of our lives.
With each passing day, I'm more aware that it really does take a village to raise a child. This babysitter is one more person in my village an I'm grateful for her.

Analysis: For Democrats, a Long Game and a Short One
Suppose you were a Texas Democrat and a realist.
You want your candidates to win in November and to break the spirit-killing string of losses that started after the statewide elections in 1994.
But you have been scratching for reasons that this year will be different, from the two women at the top of the Democratic ticket to the Battleground Texas organizing efforts to the current Republican tilt to the right that — to Democrats, anyway — seems out of step with mainstream voters.
But the realist within is thinking about Nov. 5, and how to keep the embers going ...

Ive been following a low carb high protein eating plan and have started to introduce supplements to increase the effectiveness of my approach. I am purely fat loss driven at the moment and have been dedicated to putting in the diet effort and the hours at the gym. The high protein as having affects (without being graphic) on toilet frequency so this was recommended as an easy replacement. I mix it with my BCAA drink which I bought a the same time in the sour apple. It then combines to a nice apple drink to have when training. You need to shake it well and give it a good 5 mins before you start to drink as it does leave "scuzz" and has bits otherwise hence the score for mixing. All in all its not the end of the world, it DEFO does the trick and if you taking BCAA get the sour apple and combine Goes Well With:Water
I rarely leave reviews but this product has changed my life quite literally! It took about 7 days to take effect (taking 10g per day) but since then there has been daily "activity" without any assistance from sennakot or other "natural" laxatives which I had become very dependent on in order to move things along!! I'm no longer bloated, I feel lighter and brighter and I'm so shocked at the effects - I didn't expect it to work so well! I follow a high protein and low-ish carb diet so getting this additional fibre is essential, other things I have tried have not been anywhere near as effective!! There is a faint taste of apple in the powder but it's hardly noticeable, I haven't had it just with water as I don't think it would go down well but have been mixing it into protein shakes, porridge, pancakes etc and it mixes well - just add a little extra water to compensate for the powder.Goes Well With:Porridge, shakes, pancakes, muffin mix
Taste: Very, VERY slight apple flavour. Definitely not unpleasant or overpowering. You might taste it a little if it's mixed with something plain. When literally any other flavour is present, you cannot taste the fibre. Texture: Little bit gritty, which is to be expected from something full of insoluble fibre. Doesn't mix amazingly with water, but can be added to a shake easily and without affecting the taste or texture. I found it was easier to add the powder to porridge or cereal than to drink it. It's also possible to stir it into sauce or something just before serving without affecting the consistency. I definitely like adding it to food more than I like adding it to my shakes, but even mixing it into water is fine provided you don't let the fibre settle on the bottom. Overall, a very good product. I definitely like this more than other fibre options, and without being too graphic, it works very well. I would definitely recommend this to anyone on a high-protein diet or looking to up their fibre intake and I will be buying more when I run out.Goes Well With:Cereal, sauces, porridge, shakes
I don't use it regularly but only when I know I need extra fiber. Taste is not bad but def doesn't take like a fresh apple! It mixes well and works really well with protein muffins and smoothies. Goes Well With:Protein muffin mix
Well I'm not one to moan on about taste/mixability but oh god this one is like chugging back mud (with a slight apple tinge))! It's the nature of the beast though (read: INSOLUBLE fibre)... By heck it works however -I tried a fast day and had a couple of scoops throughout day and it totally ridded me of rumbling stomach when usually would have been griping in agony! Not used long but the best appetite suppressant I've ever tried by a country mile! However due to the dread of getting down the hatchett hadn't used for a couple of days but a breakthrough this morning... -COOK UP YOUR PORRIDGE IN THE MORNING AND THEN STIR IN A SCOOP -you will barely notice it in the slightest! Perhaps make initially a little more watery as it thickens things up but I had blueberries in there this morning and it all just tasted like fruity goodness. I'll be employing this tactic every morning now methinks
So I have been buying this product from a different company for the last 18 months or so and literally love it. If you have a high protein diet, low carb diet then you need to incorporate this. During my first visit to My Protein I found their version of Apple Fibre and at a complete fraction of the price I was paying before hand, (I wont say how much I paid before as it is slightly embrassing). Because of such a big difference in price I was excited to see if there was going to be a different in quality and effectiveness. I placed the two products side by side and well they are excatly the same! Same taste, texture, mix, everything about this product is the same as my last one but so much cheaper. The apple fibre is effective in making you hit your daily fibre intake which in return also helps you go to the toilet a lot easier. I have this product every day and mix with my morning porridge, shakes, pancakes or just in a glass of water. There is the slighest apple hint to the product but I didnt really notice it and it doesnt ruin the flavour of anything you put it with. What I love about this product most is, if you ladies are trying to tone your stomach this will help reduce the size of your bottom abs, ( I call it my baby pouch) as it cleans you out and reduces swelling and bloatedness. Just make sure you drink plenty of water during the day whilst using this product to see its full effectiveness. Goes Well With:Mixes in porridge, pancake mix, water, protein shakes.
It's not so good with water but in smoothie you don't even taste it. I like it that way or if it's with water than it has to be at least 1,5l bottle and then it's ok.Goes Well With:Smoothie
I used to buy fiber from other guys and this's the first time I order from myprotein for this item. I put two scoops into my whey shake and drink after my workout. It really made me feel better for the toilet next morning.Goes Well With:whey proten, juice, water
The product works well and is effective however it's really grainy and hard to mix, alone with water it tastes awful and makes me feel sick. I've tried mixing with my protein shake, but it takes away the nice taste of vanilla and ruins it. However, if you can get over the taste and texture and down it, it works well. It helps me keep regular and stops me feeling bloated.Goes Well With:Juice works best. Water is disgusting and missing with a shake ruins the flavour and texture.
I bought this for my mother, who suffers from medication induced constipation. I haven't tried it myself, but my mother tells me that it's very effective. Apparently it is almost entirely flavourless, and works well in porridge or yoghurt. She claims that it is a mild thickening agent.Goes Well With:Porridge, yoghurt
Simple. Apple fiber works and do job :)
Which is a good thing. I had 1/2 teaspoon of Whole Psyllium Husks and 1 teaspoon of this stuff with 500ml of water this morning and it tastes just fine, barely much different from water. Could easily go in a shake, which is what I'll be doing majority of the time. Only thing is where the flip is the MP small scoop?!?!?
I have mixed feelings towards this product. I've tried it with cordial and mixed that in and it actually made me feel a bit sick! The grittiness was a bit overpowering! HOWEVER! When it is in a protein shake I couldn't taste it at all and the fact the Diet and Weight Loss range has oats in anyway, I of course couldn't taste the gritty texture which was a plus. I haven't really noticed a difference in the erm ... 'fiber' area of things either tbh, but I haven't been using it religiously so maybe that's the reason why? I don't know. I will continue using this product and using it more often and hopefully notice bigger effects........Goes Well With:Protein shake. Would not recommend it in water or cordial.
Great stuff. Does exactly what it says on the pouch. Easily mixed, doesn't taint your shake too much. Helps with weight loss and prevents bloating whilst providing a feeling of fullness. I use with impact whey, peanut butter and milk for a great shake and keeps me regular which I'm sure you will love reading! Goes Well With:All sorts. Banana, any powered shake. Need to drink lots of water with it though
Great for doing what its meant to do, but the taste aint too good by itself with water. You have to swallow it fast with a little water kinda like taking powder medicine but with a hint of apple flavour. Also no scoop so you have to measure out the 3-4 grams per day so a spoonful is a guess??? But saying that its just a little to swallow with each meal. Goes Well With:Water
This Apple Fibre does what is says, it mixes very easily and you don't taste it in a smoothie or shake.
I've been using it every morning and evening for 3 days now and I love it! I didn't think I would get results so quickly so that is definitely a + in my books, so I would definitely say to anybody, get it. you wont regret it! Also, I know its only been 3 days, but I seem to have lost 3lb since I started it.. don't know if that's a coincidence.. haven't been to the gym for a couple of days but diets still clean... anyway, it works.. get it in! Goes Well With:water,oat bran and protein shakes.
I started using this only a few days ago as I didn't have enough fibre in my diet. I used Inulin which is difficult to mix in water and having read the reviews on this product I haven't yet tried it as a drink. However as a few suggested I have mixed it with my porridge in the mornings with cranberrys and banana. There is no taste of it that I can tell, it doesn't thicken the porridge too much. It definetly fills you up, first day I couldn't finish the bowl! And the effect of the fibre? First class, without going into detail it does exactly what fibre should. No stomach cramps either which is a big plus for me. Thoroughly recommend this fibre, will definetly be buying more though am only using a teaspoon of it so should last a while. I also as MP advise drink more water than I would have using this product. Goes Well With:Porridge and fruit
I add this Apple Fibre to my protein drinks and it keeps me regular.
I mix this Apple Fibre with milkshake. It tastes a little bitter but a works wonders. I will be ordering further supplies.
We are using this Apple Fibre with our clients to increase their fibre intake (mixed into a green drink) for drinking during intermittent fasting. It mixes well and has a neutral taste. It's a great product!
Mixes well. I have strawberry, it tastes good. Sustained lean tissue no worries. Goes Well With:Fuse
I mix Apple Fibre in porridge with protein powder, 0% greek yoghurt and blueberries - no problem. It mixes well (need to add a little more water as it does swell up), slight apple taste (surprise, surprise) and it's easy! I ran out and noticed the difference (I won't go into details!) so I'm ordering 2 lots this time!Goes Well With:Impact Whey Protein (Vanilla)
This Apple Fibre mixes well. The taste isn't great with water. It's better in fruit juice.
Apple Fibre is a great product, it mixes very well. It gives you satisfaction if you're looking for some extra fibre. The taste is not really good, but if you mix it with some 'stronger' juice, then it's fine.
Apple Fibre is a brilliant product for filling you up when cutting up. Goes Well With:ultra fine oats and superfoods.
"beware tastes horrible when mixed with water, however is soo much easier to consume with a shake, i have this mixed with my total protein shake- its much more easier to consume "
"One of the best products from MP, add 2 tsp to a protiein shake and shake... One of the best appetite suppressants I've tried... "
"I bought this as i didn't feel i was getting enough fibre in my diet (i'm on a low carb diet at the moment). This supplement really does work for me. Keeps things nice and regular, and also helps with suppressing my appetite. I have, up until today, been mixing this with water and squash. It doesn't dissolve at all well in water, but it's drinkable nonetheless (knock it back quick i say!). Slight taste of apple. However, for a change today i thought i would mix things up and have a go with milk........bobs your uncle it mixes like a dream! Who's have thunk it eh?! I definitely will be ordering more of this."
"I bought this as I'm on a low carb diet. Wanted to make sure I was getting enough fibre and don't care much about taste, though I didn't want to end up with something so horrible I could not stomach it. This did not disappoint, don't notice it much in my unflavoured impact whey, other than there being small bits, but it dose say in the description ""insoluble and soluble"" so no one should be surprised. And if your buying it for the flavour, then you got the wrong product. But what I Like the most about this is, it does a good job of suppressing my apatite, I have diet pills and they don't really suppress my apatite much, but with 2 small scoops of this, I can almost forget about food for hours.. Would recommend for those on a diet. "
"Has no taste, does not taste like apple, anyone who thinks it does is clearly drinking something else. when mixed solely with water it has a bland taste, doesn't really taste of anything, it's not the taste that gets to me, it's the texture, it's like drinking grit, if it mixed into the water and dissolved it would be good, but I guess that's the whole point of fibre, it has to actually be non liquid. add some flavourings too it MyProtein, some natural apple flavourings, if the taste was good I wouldn't be bothered about the texture, and if the texture was good, I wouldn't be bothered about the taste, so at least fix one of them."
"Actually I don't know what you're complaining about regarding taste. It actually GOT a mild apple taste, although you must not expect some apple-drink-synthetic-aroma taste. It's mildly sweet and sour and you get a mild notion of apples in my opinion, but it's not a soft drink. That's why I think it actually IS refreshing.BUT I have to stir at least a minute (always changing direction of stirring) to eliminate the little jellyish bits. Can have something meditative )"
"This product does not taste of Apples, is it as good compared to other Fibre prducts, I am not sure. I believe in taking lots of Fibre to see off hunger as it adds bulk without calories, but think are there alternatives. Try Soya fibre, its good too."
"Love this stuff best fibre by far easy to mix in shakes doesnt change to texture, and well just all round awsome, so why did it drop half a star, well becasue they dropped the 1kg bag, boo hiss.\n\nLoving the stuff myp, just want more of it."
Just started on this supplement yesterday and it pushed whatever I had stuck iside me right through. But the thing does not mix at all. There were jellyish bits floating in my drink that would not disolve. I will try to take it all in a single glass of water today. Very odd as I tried other fiber supplements before and they mixed in withouth leaving any bits or taste in the water.
"I have been using Apple Fibre for about 6 months now and it definitely helps out with keeping you 'regular'. It also helps suppress appetite. I have some every morning but be sure to drink loads of water with this. You can become constipated without it!\n\nIt doesn't taste like apples at all though and is a brown powder. Chuck it into your PreWO or morning shake, you will barely notice it."
"I use the Apple fiber to make my own detoxing shake mixed with organic apple juice and psyllium husk. Also with some bentonite clay and organic ginger powder. Especially while dieting, twice a day staves off any hunger, keeps the bowel movements regular and 'clean'. I love this product and love even more that myprotein.co.uk makes it available for consumers. Thanks. Lina"
"Although it does what it says on the tin, the taste of apple fibre isn't remotely apple-ish. I was hoping it would be pleasant, refreshing. But no it's not a drink one would take purely for enjoyment."

The Associated Press reported Monday the 9-foot piano returned to the Motor City on Monday and is expected to be displayed at the Motown Historical Museum at 2648 W. Grand Blvd.
McCartney decided after a 2011 concert in Detroit that he wanted to help restore the piano back to its glory. The AP reported that work on the piano was completed in August; McCartney and Motown founder Berry Gordy played it together during a charity event last fall in New York City.
The AP also reported that the piano will be on display in the museum's famed Studio A - the site of several studio recordings for performers like the Jackson 5, The Temptations, Diana Ross and The Supremes and Martha and the Vandellas.

10 Cool Affordable Used Cars
What makes a car cool? Lots of power, a sexy exterior, pedigree, or top-down driving enjoyment are all factors that can contribute. For the most part, however, being cool comes at a premium price point. Many enthusiasts just cannot afford the cost of a brand new cool car. However, buying a used vehicle allows you to get more car for your money. Instead of purchasing a brand new automobile at dealership prices, you can get a cool used car that is a few years old and thus has depreciated by a fair amount. There are lots of great affordable cars on the market and this list spotlights 10 cool car ideas.

Pennslvania's forgotten belongings up for auction
From jewelry to historic documents, these items can be yours if the price is right
The Pennsylvania Treasury Department is giving residents a helping hand for Valentine's Day. It's auctioning off unclaimed property on its website.
Shoppers can bid on items such as gold, diamond and pearl necklaces, along with bracelets and pins, even heart-shaped pendants and earrings.
"We have loaded up our eBay auction with attractive gift options just in time for Valentine's Day," Treasurer McCord said. "Our unclaimed property auction is a convenient, secure alternative to browsing the mall. Your purchases come straight from Treasury's vault to your front door."
Visit patreasury.gov and drop down the "Unclaimed Property" tab to shop the eBay store.
Residents can also check to see if they can reclaim some of their belongings that were forgotten years ago.
Each year, the Treasury receives millions of dollars in unclaimed property, from abandoned bank accounts, clothing, collectible coins and medals. They're all kept in a vault and if the owner can't be located, the items are auctioned on eBay. Proceeds are then maintained for the original owner to claim.

ALEXANDRIA TWP. — Delaware Valley High's unbeaten football team literally wasted no time Friday night showing it had every intention of maintaining its perfect record.
Senior quarterback Chris Fennell took a shotgun snap on the game's first play from scrimmage and broke loose off left tackle for a 74-yard touchdown run, starting the Terriers on their way to a 35-13 triumph over Somerville at Tap Webb Memorial Field.
DelVal (7-0) not only earned the Mid-State Conference-Raritan Division championship with the verdict but also wrapped up a berth in the Central Jersey Group 2 state playoffs, which begin the weekend of Nov. 11-12. Delaware Valley concluded its league schedule with a 5-0 record while Somerville was 4-1 and is now 5-3 overall.
The Terriers, whose close late-season loss to SHS last year cost them a state playoff spot, scored on their first four possessions in this contest and held a 28-7 lead at the halftime break.
"The defense had to keep playing and they did," said DelVal Head Coach Mike Columbo. "That was our bugaboo the last couple weeks, obviously. But I'm proud of the way they came out and played tonight. And we did it in a lot of different ways. Everyone chipped in and it worked out to be a great situation."
After holding the Pioneers to a three-and-out on their first series, DelVal marched 51 yards in six plays to another touchdown, this one also scored by Fennell from four yards out. The key play on the drive was Fennell's 35-yard pass to Chris Pilone which moved the Terriers to the Somerville 17-yard line.
Another Fennell four-yard TD capped a 68-yard, six-play drive on the final snap of the opening quarter for a 21-0 advantage.
The Pioneers got on the board midway through the second period when John Betz connected with Juwan Petties-Jackson for a 31-yard TD pass.
But DelVal came right back again, marching 76 yards to another touchdown, this one coming when Dionisio Roman took the shotgun snap and floated a nine-yard pass to a wide-open Tim Ziegler in the back of the end zone on second-and-goal with 1:53 left in the half.
With Fennell limping because of a thigh bruise, the Terriers' attack wasn't as dynamic following the intermission.
Somerville cut its deficit to 28-13 on Betz's 11-yard TD pass to Pat Manna three minutes into the final quarter but the Terriers iced away the victory when Fennell sliced through the middle for a six-yard TD with 2:27 left in the game following Pilone's 28-yard interception return to the Somerville 25. Scott Skripko's fifth point-after kick of the night finished the scoring.

A major fire which gutted a cheese factory at Tua Marina near Blenheim early today has left the future of the 45 staff in doubt.
Described as a "sad day" for Tua Marina, the fire completely gutted the factory, which has been a Marlborough landmark since 1895.
Fire crews from Blenheim, Renwick and Picton were called to the blaze while a command team came from Nelson.
Blenheim chief fire officer Gary Price said the difficulty of getting water to the factory made the job difficult.
Firefighters had to wait while portable pumps were set up to bring water from the Tua Marina stream and across State Highway 1.
Mr Price said the fire was confined to the main cheese hall after crews had prevented the blaze from spreading to the back of the building, where flammable chemicals were stored.
Mr Price said it was too early to say what the cause of the fire was -- fire safety officers were starting their investigations this morning -- but the blaze was not being treated as suspicious.
Fonterra Ingredients acting director of operations Ross McCowan said it was not known when the plant might reopen, but all milk that would have gone to the plant could be processed elsewhere.
"We have processing ability elsewhere in the South Island which we can use," he said.
"We're working through how we might transport the milk."
At the peak of the season the Tua Marina plant processed 330,000 litres of milk a day from the Marlborough region, manufacturing mostly cheese with some cream products, Mr McCowan said.
Insurance assessors were investigating the extent of damage and the cause of the fire today.
It was too early to say how much damage had been done but it was "obviously millions".
The plant had been closed for the low season, although some maintenance would have been under way, he said.
No staff had been in the plant at the time of the fire.
Resident Bob Harris was woken by his son shouting that there was a fire across the road at the factory.
"The boy woke me about three and said the cheese factory was on fire. I said sure and turned over and went back to sleep but then the explosion went off.
"I jumped out of bed and called the fire brigade."
He said he ran outside to see flames licking around the tower in the middle of the building.
"It took off really quick. There is a lot of people who are going to suffer from this. This is another piece of history gone. I have been here for 30 years and watched it change and grow. It is a very sad day."
The heat of the fire was so intense Phil Holland said he could feel it standing at his door on the other side of SH1.
"There were six metre high flames above the building."
Traffic on SH1 and the nearby railway line were halted at the height of the fire.
Marlborough Lines operation manager Brian Tapp said power from the transformer supplying the factory was switched off soon after the fire started.
Factory workers watching the building they knew so well burn to the ground, were this morning coming to the realisation their future at the plant was in doubt.
"It is a bit of a shock all right. It hasn't really sunk in yet. We were due to start the season next week," said Greg Gill, who worked at the factory for nine years.
Fellow worker Terry Watkins said many of the workers had been at the factory for more than 30 years, most straight from school.
"A lot of the guys have been here 20 to 40 years One guy has been here for more than 40 years. This is a sad way to make the headlines that's for sure," Mr Watkins said.

LINDEN — Police say they nabbed a suspected tire thief only to find that he was actually a breaking a much more serious law — he was in possession of nearly 100 packets of heroin.
Michael Raymond, 36, of Metuchen, was arrested about 12:45 a.m. Sunday and charged with theft, resisting arrest and possession of heroin with intent to distribute, authorities said.
A second man, Anthony Slotwinski, 26, of South Amboy, was also arrested and charged with theft in connection with the tire.
Linden police said officers Thomas Zajac and Daniel Kuczynski were working an off-duty security job at the Dragonfly nightclub on West Edgar Road when someone reported seeing two men stealing a tire from a vehicle at the Aviation Plaza parking lot.
The officers approached the two men, who said they were changing a flat tire on a 2004 GMC Envoy. When the officers asked who owned the vehicle, one of the men ran away.
Officer Zajac ran after him, tackled him and then the two men struggled until a second officer arrived to assist in the arrest, acting Capt. James Sarnicki said.
The suspected thief, identified as Raymond, was found to have 97 packets of heroin, police said. He was taken to the Union County Jail in Elizabeth, where he was being held in lieu of $50,000 bail, Sarnicki said.
Slotwinski, who remained in the parking lot, was arrested and charged with theft and was being held at the jail in lieu of $2,500 bail.
• Police raids lead to arrests of 2 Linden residents on drug charges
• Linden narcotics raid turns up marijuana, loaded gun — and three arrests, police say

Fuller switch has long-range implications
LOS ANGELES – UCLA freshman Devin Fuller had to make a tough call last week, one that could impact his career down the line.
The four-star recruit from Old Tappan, N.J., came to UCLA to play quarterback, and appeared headed for a redshirt, transitional first season.
With injuries to Jerry Johnson and Devin Lucien thinning the wide-receiver options, Fuller made the switch outside, and played receiver Saturday at Cal.
"A few people went down, and the coaches came to me last week and asked me to help out at wide receiver," Fuller said Tuesday after practice at Spaulding Field. "It was a chance to do that, and get on the field."
Coach Jim Mora said Fuller (6-0, 195) will go back with the quarterbacks and compete for the position in the spring.
"I still consider myself a quarterback," Fuller said.
But, by playing receiver the rest of this season, he has put himself on the same timetable, eligibility-wise, as redshirt freshman QB Brett Hundley, the 2012 starter. Fuller could also use a redshirt year later.
Freshman Jerry Neuheisel, a grey shirt last year, is listed alphabetically with seniors Richard Brehaut and Kevin Prince as Hundley's current back-ups. Neuheisel hasn't played yet, so he has five years eligibility to use.
Fuller's switch was not a new experience.
"I played wide receiver at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl," said Fuller, rated the No. 37 overall prospect in the country last year by rivals.com. Before that, and playing WR on the UCLA scout team, he'd never run pass routes, not even in youth football.
"I was a running back, then a quarterback," said Fuller, who picked UCLA over Alabama, Arizona, Nebraska and Notre Dame, among others.
With slot receiver Darius Bell added to the injury list against Cal, Mora said the plan is to use Fuller outside "more and more."
For the first time this season, UCLA did not have a sack from an outside linebacker against Cal. The three sacks of Zach Maynard came from down linemen in the Bruins' 3-4, Datone Jones, Owamagbe Oldighizuwa, and Seali'I Epenesa.
Outside rushers Anthony Barr, Damien Holmes and Jordan Zumwalt drew extra attention from the Golden Bears, and were limited to one official hurry by Barr – although the Bruins came close to several more sacks.
"We had seven hits," UCLA defensive line coach Angus McClure said. "I think Maynard did a great job hanging in there, because we gave him a beating."
Future opponents, beginning with Utah at the Rose Bowl on Saturday, might try and emulate Cal's blocking scheme – which is just fine with McClure.
"Almost always, the nose guard (Epenesa) gets doubled anyway," McClure said, "but if we get the defensive ends (Jones, Oldighizuwa, and Cassius Marsh) 1-on-1, I feel good about that."
Despite the pass-protection problems at Cal, Mora said there are no plans to go away from the core offensive linemen who have been starting. "We're playing right now with the five guys we think give us the best chance," he said, "so we're sticking with them." ... WR Bell (shoulder) likely won't be able to go against Utah ... Freshman cornerback Marcus Rios was unable to practice because of a sinus condition. ... The coach said Zumwalt (Edison High) worked at inside linebacker, as well as on the outside, in practice.

Hi, my name is Mary Gildersleeve. I began designing shortly after teaching myself to knit at the age of 8, primarily because I do not take commands very well and I also could not afford the fancy yarns back then. Knitting and designing were my constant activities throughout undergrad, grad school and family life until, in 1997, I finally went professional and established By Hand, With Heart ... traditional hand-knit designs with a modern twist. I now create designs for various knitwear outlets (including published designs in Knitters, INKnitters, Cast On), custom knit original designs, and self-publish my own patterns . I maintain a website (www.marygildersleeve.com) where I discuss my work, my findsÃâà(reviewing books and supplies) and suggestions for teaching everyone this age-old art. I particularly love teaching all aspects of knitting ... from beginner to expert, from learning to read charts to designing your own. On most Saturdays, you can find me working at my LYS, Dog House Yarns in Culpeper. I am the exclusive designer for the cashmere-farm, Spring Gate Farm, located in Barboursville, VA.
I earned an MBA from the College of William and Mary (Williamsburg, VA) in 1988 and a BA in Print Journalism from Gonzaga University (Spokane, Washington) in 1983. I continue with my knitting education by attending seminars, voraciously reading all knitting books, magazines, and websites, and constantly honing my practical knitting skills. I was an active member of the Association of Knitwear Designers (which shut down, unfortunately).
I am married, have 5 children (10 to 23 yrs) and keep busy homeschooling, working on the computer, writing articles, and knitting, knitting, knitting in rural Virginia. In 2008, a book I wrote was published "Great Yarns for the Close-Knit Family: over two dozen hand-knit designs inspired by a dozen fantastic family read-alouds"; a year later, another book I wrote hit the bookstores, "In His Image: Nurturing Creativity in the Heart of Your Home" (both are available on Amazon and other book outlets)..
