During the Great Depression, young men were unable to provide for their families, due to lack of employment and tough financial times in the U.S.
In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration created the Civilian Conservation Corps, which was led by reserve officers in the U.S. Army.
Over nine years, the Corps not only gave men a job but helped to build and create some national and state parks and fire towers, restore forest and farmland, and construct lakes, dams and trails.
Authors Ren and Helen Davis are touring the U.S. in promotion of their new book, "Our Mark on This Land - A Guide to the Legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps in America's Parks."
They will visit Leonard Harrison State Park's visitors center from 7 to 8 p.m. Thursday to lead a program highlighting the efforts of the CCC.
"Most of the men who participated in the CCC are now up in years and still have so many things to share," said Timothy Morey, natural resource specialist with the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources at Hills Creek State Park complex.
He said the authors came to the agency's attention while they were putting the book together.
The CCC was instrumental in building and developing Colton Point and Leonard Harrison state parks.
"They are part of the local heritage," Morey said of the young men who worked for the Corps.
Colton Point, which sits on the western rim of the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, was completely built by the CCC.
DCNR notes that the CCC worked on the park from 1933 to 1936. In 1936, the park opened to the public.
When visitors come to the park, they still can see the historical contributions the Corps made. CCC crews made the railings, stone pillars and timber posts inside the park's popular pavilions, Morey said.
"There is plenty of evidence to be seen at Colton Point," he added.
In 1988, the CCC-built facilities were added to the National Register of Historic Places, DCNR said.
The CCC was involved in improving Leonard Harrison's 121 acres in the mid-1930s. In the late 1940s, additional lands were added to the park.
A bronze monument was erected and can be seen today in honor of their achievements, according to DCNR.
The Laurel Festival began in the late 1930s, during the time when the CCC was doing work, which later helped to promote tourism to the area, Morey said.
"It (the CCC) helped coin the phrase 'Pennsylvania Grand Canyon,' " he said.
In other areas where CCC camps were built or where crews worked, historical plaques note their work.
At Leonard Harrison, a map shows where CCC camps were located in Pennsylvania.
The park hosts the annual Civilian Conservation Corps Reunion and Picnic from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 11 this year. It will be held at the large pavilion behind the park office and anyone who was involved in the CCC, as well as their family and friends, are invited.
"The annual CCC picnic is open to anyone. It highlights the efforts of the CCC and any members or family and friends. It's a way to remember the great opportunity for these young men at the time and be able to hear their stories," Morey said.
The picnic - as well as this week's author presentation - also are great ways for anyone who is curious about the Corps to learn what it meant to the state and to the men who were a part of it.
Registration for the reunion is required by July 31 by calling the park and a nominal fee will cover the catered lunch.
Morey said the authors have been invited back for the August picnic to share their stories and maybe hear some new ones.

Ahmad Al Jarba, leader of Syria's opposition National Coalition arrives for the Geneva 2 talks on Syria, at Geneva International airport, yesterday.
UNITED NATIONS: The United Nations yesterdaystrongly defended Iran's exclusion from Syria peace talks after criticism from Russia and the Tehran government.
Iran failed to come up with a promised written statement on the Syria conflict and so UN leader Ban Ki-moon was forced to act, UN deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said.
Haq also said Ban was anxious that countries attending the talks, which start in Montreux, Switzerland, today, were negotiating "in good faith."
Ban rescinded an invitation to Iran on Monday just 24 hours after announcing that the ally of President Bashar al-Assad would be at the talks.
The Syrian opposition had threatened to boycott the event if Iran was present and the United States insisted that Iran had to agree to an international communique calling for a transitional government in Syria.
UN officials said Ban spent several days negotiating with Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif on publicly supporting the 2012 Geneva communique which calls for the transitional government in a bid to end Syria's three-year-old war.
"There was an oral understanding that the secretary general had been led to believe would be followed by an actual written understanding," Haq told reporters to explain the invitation to Iran.
"In fact the opposite is what happened, that Iran stated the same positions that it had held previously. And that is why he expressed his disappointment at Iran's decision and took his decision to disinvite them," the spokesman added.
Ban was in contact with the United States and other key parties during the talks, Haq added.
Zarif blasted the UN decision and called on Ban to "provide the real reasons for the withdrawal."
"This behaviour is beneath the dignity of the UN's secretary general," the minister was quoted as saying by Iranian media.
Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called Tehran's exclusion a "mistake."
Ban has insisted the aim of today's conference, to be followed by direct negotiations between Assad and opposition representatives in Geneva from Friday, is to implement the 2012 Geneva communique.
Iran has repeatedly refused to sign up to the Geneva document which was agreed by Russia, a strategic Assad ally, the United States, which backs the opposition, and other key powers.
"It doesn't really make sense to have someone participate in discussions if they are doing it without understanding what the basis of the discussions are," Haq said.

The Associated Press
It all started with the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line! My love of grilled turkey, that is!
Early in my career, I managed and promoted the annual Thanksgiving help line. And every fall, all of the operators would gather together for a training session that would prepare these "cooking counselors" for the nation's upcoming turkey trauma. Everyone was assigned a different turkey cooking method and brand of turkey so we could all be familiar with the different scenarios home cooks might face.
Recipe included with this story: Grilled Turkey With Maple-Southern Comfort Glaze.
As I watched all the veteran operators lobby to get the grilled and smoked turkey assignments, I wondered why. But after my first session, I knew! The flavor, texture and aroma of the grilled and smoked turkeys were far and away tastier than any other method, even the classic open-pan roasting method.
The natural convection-style heat of the outdoor grill is perfect for cooking a Thanksgiving turkey. But you must use a grill that has a lid and is configured for indirect heat. This is not a job for an open braiser! The lid down/indirect heat-method ensures that the skin is golden brown and crisp at the same time that the bird is done.
And there's another benefit, too. All that hot air rotating around the big bird means the outdoor grill method takes less time than traditional oven roasting. Plus, moving the turkey onto the grill frees up oven space for all those wonderful sides you're craving.
In recent years, I've upped my game by adding a brine to the recipe to produce the juiciest, tastiest, most golden brown and picture-perfect turkey you can image. The brine seasons the turkey to the bone and ensures it will be juicy. If you are brining the bird, it is important to buy a natural turkey that has not been pre-basted (pumped full of salt water).
It's been many years since my Butterball days, yet every Thanksgiving, I am still "on call" for a select few. While I am cooking my own meal or getting ready to enjoy the fruits of someone else's labor, I am on speed dial wherever I am. And answering their calls -- having a turkey trauma moment, a laugh and ultimately assuring them that the turkey is going to be great (always grilled!) -- has become as much a part of my Thanksgiving tradition as the turkey itself.

Titusville prospects for business from Utica Shale
TITUSVILLE -- The birthplace of the oil and gas industry is preparing for a new incarnation as a hub of the modern oil boom.
Titusville government, business and civic leaders are positioning the city to extract business from companies extracting oil and gas from the Utica Shale.
"Physically, we're already at the center of it," said Titusville Redevelopment Authority Executive Director James Becker.
Titusville hopes to tap into the profits with help from a Utica Shale Strategic Plan commissioned by the Titusville Redevelopment Authority. The authority is accepting proposals for the plan through Wednesday.

The Meeker Home Museum will host its 32nd annual Founder's Day celebration from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. July 20.
The free celebration marks the birthday of Greeley founder Nathan Meeker, who arrived in 1870. He built his home a half mile from the center of the town that would become Greeley.
Founder's Day activities include games of horseshoes and badminton as they would have been played more than 100 years ago. A costumed tour guide will tell stories about the Meeker family and the Ute Indian uprising. Visitors are welcome to bring a picnic lunch to eat on the lawn, and free old-fashioned lemonade and cake will be served in the afternoon.
Founder's Day began in July 1981 and used to be known as Nathan Meeker's Birthday Party, but by either name, it's a popular celebration. Emily Lance, marketing assistant for culture, parks and recreation in Greeley, said people come to the event because its free and it highlights the most popular Meeker stories.
"I think most people who want to see the Meeker Home Museum come to this event," Lance said.
The Meeker Home is located at 1324 9th Ave. For more information about the museum, events and group tours, visit www.greeleymuseums.com or call (970) 350-9220.

Earlier this week, I broke down the film from the Colts' first two sacks against the Browns. I chose to wait on this final sack so as to use the All-22 film to completely breakdown what is happening, as it's occurrence had more weight (or could have) than the other sacks did.
The play itself was an interesting call, after averaging over four yards per carry on the drive, the Colts decided to pass on third-and-three. Interestingly enough, the play very well may have succeeded if not for the sack.
Let's break it down.
The Colts drive had moved steadily from their own 19 to the Browns' 44, using a healthy dose of Vick Ballard runs. After a seven yard run on first down, Ballard was stuffed on second, leaving the Colts three yards to the first down.
The Colts are in a heavy, two TE front with Vick Ballard as a halfback and Dwayne Allen as the fullback. Wayne comes in motion from split out to the right to the right side of the line. The Colts will run a play action to the right side to Ballard.
As you can see, Luck has completed the playfake, and is rolling to his right. Ballard and Allen (circled in blue) are running routes out to the right flat, and Wayne (bottom left) will run a deeper corner route. In the background, you can see Jeff Linkenbach and Anthony Castonzo giving half hearted blocks. However, Sheldon Brown, Castonzo's man, is the only one that will be important here, due to his speed.
From here we'll move to the All-22 film.
You can see that Luck is now outside of the hashes, and has two Browns bearing down on him, one from directly in front of him and one from his backside (red). He has two open receivers on the flat (blue), and Reggie Wayne covered deep.
The smart play here would be for Luck, now or a second earlier, to throw the ball to either of the two players in the flat. There is a defender between them, but a second earlier he was not quite in the throwing lane, and Luck still has room to get the ball over him, and to Ballard, who would have Allen between him and the cornerback.
Another problem that Greg Cowan and I discussed on our Monday Night Breakdown radio show is that it's very possible that Ballard or Allen ran the wrong route. The play design would be quite poor if both targets were supposed to be a yard apart for nearly the entire duration of the play. The confusion by one of them may have thrown Luck off.
Nevertheless, Luck opts not to throw, instead trying to sidestep the defender coming at him, never seeing the defender coming from his left.
Here you can see Luck actually stepping to avoid the first defender, which he likely would have had there not been a second one coming from the backside. Interestingly enough, you can see Reggie Wayne has tripped and fallen downfield. It doesn't have any bearing on the play, but still.
As indicated by Luck's head angle (which I can assure you stayed relatively similar for the entire play), Luck never sees Brown coming from his blind side, which definitely played a role in his decision making. Luck's confident enough in his athletic abilities to avoid the first defender (which he does), and certainly would have created something on the play had Brown not have been there.
As for blame on the play, there's four players who share it on this play.
First is Anthony Castonzo, who, taken by surprise on the cornerback blitz, failed to get substantial contact on Brown. Had he slowed him, this play ends much differently.
Second, is backup TE Wesley Saunders (85), the player whose poor block on the DE allowed Luck to get initial pressure. Had the DE been stalled by Saunders, Luck's throwing lane to Ballard/Allen would have been completely clear, and the throw likely would have happened.
Third, is Allen or Ballard, one of whom almost certainly ran the wrong route. Their confusion may or may not have effected Luck's decision-making, but either way we can be fairly certain that something went wrong there.
Fourth, is Luck himself, who failed to recognize two things. one, that he had two receivers open at the sticks, and a throw could have been made at some point in the play. Two, that he had a defender bearing down on him from his left for the entire play. Had he recognized that, he could have at least saved the Colts from a turnover.
So, an entire team effort for the turnover, the kind that just one better play from any of the individuals could have saved the day.

Google Access + Starbucks Broadband Rollout Beginning
Roughly a year ago, Google and Starbucks announced the coffee retailer would transition from AT&T to Google Access (aka Google Fiber), boosting free wifi speeds at more than 7,000 Starbucks locations by up to 100X. How's that going?
The Starbucks + Google Access rollout begins next month and the transition will take roughly 18 months to complete. Between now and then, you will know that Google Access is powering your local Starbucks if the "Google Starbucks SSID" shows up when you log in.
It's also worth noting that Google Fiber-equipped cities will see download speeds in their local Starbucks jump to around 100-times faster than what Starbucks currently offers, making it a great place to get some downloading done on some of those larger files… — SlashGear.
Classic Coffee Mugs made in the USA, especially for Starbucks
For what it's worth, AT&T claims that it offered Starbucks 100X faster broadband service, but the coffee retailer choose to go with Google Access (aka fiber) instead. What's that about? Google has national aspirations vis-a-vis its commercial fiber internet service provider business, currently available in or coming to a dozen US metros.
I'm very much looking forward to Google Access and Google Fiber coming my hometown because it will bring competitive pressures to the moribund broadband business…
What's your take?

The Reserve Bank of India today released its review of the macroeconomic and monetary developments which serves as a background to the Second Quarter review of Monetary Policy 2009-10 being announced tomorrow, October 27th, 2009.
Some of the Key Highlights of the documents which we believe will set the tone of the monetary policy are:
Global economy has started exhibiting tentative signs of recovery, but the recovery is, however, widely perceived to remain slow and gradual, with receding but significant downside risks
- The first quarter GDP growth in 2009-10 still points to persistence of slowdown
- Information available on various lead indicators in the second quarter of 2009-10 suggests that because of deficient monsoon, kharif output may be adversely affected
- Deceleration in aggregate demand that was witnessed in the second half of 2008-09 continued during 2009-10. Growth in private consumption demand fell to as low as 1.6 per cent in the first quarter of 2009-10. Investment demand also decelerated further, and the high growth in government consumption demand that was witnessed in the last two quarters of 2008-09 moderated.
- Deficient monsoon and the associated drought like conditions in several parts of the country, and the more recent floods in some other parts, could also dampen rural demand
- External demand continues to be weak. Trade data show that during April-August 2009, merchandise exports and imports declined by 31.0 per cent and 33.4 per cent, respectively, over the corresponding period of the previous yea
- The liquidity conditions remained in surplus on a sustained basis, which was absorbed by the Reserve Bank through reverse repo operations under the Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) and the over night rates hovered around LAF signaling ample liquidity into the system
- The changing inflation environment, however, is being driven by strong escalation in prices of food articles, which have increased by 14.4 per cent (year-on-year) so far. Excluding food items, the WPI inflation remains negative at (-) 3.4 per cent.
- From the stand point of monetary policy, anchoring inflation expectations in the face of sustained high inflation in essential commodities will be a key challenge
- The Reserve Bank's professional forecasters survey points to downward revision to the growth outlook from 6.5 per cent to 6.0 per cent in 2009-10.
- Emerging inflationary pressures may also persist and escalate further on account of the fading away of the base effect, cost push pressures through wage-price revisions in the face of elevated CPI inflation, challenges in improving the supply situation of essential commodities in the short-run, gradual pressure on global commodity prices along with global recovery, and rising inflation expectations on account of elevated CPI inflation.
- The overall economic outlook is, therefore, a mixture of upside prospects of recovery and downside risks. Managing the trade-off between supporting growth and reining in inflation expectations poses a complex policy challenge.
The tradeoff will be costly since the capital markets are moving way beyond the real economy. However, we do not expect a rate hike in the second quarter monetary policy review due to a bleak growth outlook, however the tone in which inflation is presented in this press release by the RBI clearly sets a prelude for a rate hike in the third quarter policy review or even before that.
The way Nifty has behaved over the last 4 trading sessions clearly suggests that markets are factoring in a change in RBI's stance. Thus we strongly believe that its time in the market to start booking profits and move away from the rate sensitive like banking, infrastructure and real estate.

There was no blown two-goal lead in this one.
The Penguins only managed 15 shots, but 2 went in. Marc-Andre Fleury made 35 saves in the back end of his first career back-to-back shutout.
The Rangers will bank the excuse of playing five games in seven days, but let us be honest here — no one will ever feel bad for the New York Rangers. The Penguins didn't seem like they did much this game, but their defense was outstanding throughout.
Six things about this game
– Crosby scored, but now we are left with the cruel "Crosby hasn't scored in five minutes; what's wrong?" joke. It's honestly a terrible time. Still all of the lulz that people questioned 87 to begin with.
– The Penguins went 18 minutes without registering a shot on net in the second and third periods.
– Paul Martin played as well as we've ever seen him play. He made this ridiculous play:
– Jussi Jokinen scored the back-breaking goal of this game right as his penalty expired. He quietly has a seven-game point streak in the playoffs.
– The Rangers blew four power plays in this game, including a four-minute major. Horrid stuff.
– Marc-Andre Fleury won't get a ton of credit. Instead, people will say the Rangers were tired. But make no mistake about it — he was locked in. Flawless performance, really. This was his best save of the night:
Full cap in the AM.

Replacing your phone's charging cable with a wireless charging pad you put it down on is delightful and convenient, but it's not enough of a difference that everyone will want to pay extra for it.
But charging your phone without ever having to take it out of your pocket? Now that would be convenient – and startup Ossia is working on a system to charge devices up to 30 feet away.
The Cota system, currently a large prototype (the final box will be much smaller) sends energy over a channel in the familiar 802.11b Wi-Fi spectrum that's only used in Japan, so it doesn't interfere with wireless data – and it doesn't need a special licence. It can even use the same antenna that's in your phone or tablet or even your Bluetooth headset already, just with some extra wiring.
The way it works is by putting a small beacon in the device you want to charge, which sends out a low-power signal. "It's about one millionth of the power of a Wi-Fi signal," Ossia CEO and Founder Hatem Zeine told TechRadar. The signal will be blocked by any people in the room, but it will also bounce off the walls and ceilings to reach the charger. The phased array of antennae in the charger (200 in the current prototype, 20,000 in the units that will ship in 2015) recreate the signal in reverse, sending power directly to the device and nowhere else.
If you move around the room, or you move your device, Cota will find it again and use the new signal path to send power. When I stood in the way of the prototype array it took a couple of seconds to find a path around me (in a large office room ten feet away from the wall); the final version will check 100 times a second and should reconnect without you noticing.
Cota sends out 1W of power; that's about as much as your phone uses, so it's more like trickle charging than plugging into the mains. If multiple devices are sending beacon signals, the system checks which has the lowest battery and charges that one first. "When everyone is out, it can charge your remote controls and smoke detectors," suggests Zeine, "then when you get home it starts charging your phone." And just like Wi-Fi, you can run it open so anyone can charge devices, or closed, so you aren't paying for your neighbour's phone.
The competition
The wireless charging that's already built into phones such as the Nokia 920 using the Qi standard is induction charging – a more sophisticated version of the way you charge an electric toothbrush. Power is transmitted from one coiled antenna to another and they have to line up and be close together. You can send power through a thin sheet of wood, but not across the room. New Zealand-based PowerbyProxi has recently joined the Wireless Power Consortium that creates the Qi standard, to incorporate its adaptive distance charging into Qi 2.0.
When you put a device down on a pad using PowerbyProxi charging that should beat the 70% efficiency Qi claims to achieve, but it will also let you charge things a few inches away from the charger, and even upside down – as with Cota, they don't need to be in direct contact.
The magnetic resonance charging Qualcomm is using to charge electric cars is more efficient than inductive coupling, but the coils need to be much larger; although a large coil can send power six feet, a coil that fits in your phone could only be a foot away from the charger.

The Subject class in 6.1 was an early version of the std implementation. In
8.1, the std implementation
is part of the JDK. It looks like there were some weblogic specific methods

Raspberry Pi boosted with Wolfram mathematics
It all adds up
THE POCKET SIZED Raspberry Pi computer has acquired more education resources with the addition of the Wolfram Language and Mathematica software.
A partnership between the Raspberry Pi Foundation and the Wolfram Foundation means that free copies of Mathematica and the Wolfram Language will be included future Raspbian Linux images, explained Raspberry Pi Foundation chief Eben Upton in a blog post.
"We believe this will make the [Raspberry] Pi a first-class platform for teaching computer-based maths techniques to children of all ages," he said.
"Future Raspbian [Linux] images will ship with the Wolfram Language and Mathematica by default; existing users with at least 600MB of free space on their SD card can install them today."
Stephen Wolfram posted a comment on the news, and he said that the initiative is an early preview of his eponymous software package.
"In effect, this is a technology preview: it's an early, unfinished, glimpse of the Wolfram Language. Quite soon the Wolfram Language is going to start showing up in lots of places, notably on the web and in the cloud," he said.
"But I'm excited that the timing has worked out so that we're able to give the Raspberry Pi community - with its emphasis on education and invention - the very first chance to put the Wolfram Language into action."
Mathematica was released in 2008, said Wolfram, and he has been waiting for the Raspberry Pi to come along for years and described the coming together as the "beginning of something very important".
"It's tremendously satisfying - and educational. Writing a tiny program, perhaps not even a line long, and already having something really interesting happen. And then being able to scale up larger and larger. Making use of all the powerful programming paradigms that are built into the Wolfram Language," he added.
"And with Raspberry Pi there's something else too: immediately being able to interact with the outside world. Being able to take pure code, and connect it to sensors and devices that do things... I think it's pretty amazing that we're now at the point where all the knowledge and computation in the Wolfram Language can run in a $25 computer."
The Raspberry Pi already has educational chops, and earlier this year the Raspberry Pi Foundation and Google donated 15,000 Raspberry Pi computers to schools. "We hope that our new partnership with Google will be a significant moment in the development of computing education in the UK," said Upton then.
"We believe that this can turn around the year on year decline in the numbers and skill sets of students applying to read Computer Science at university." µ

Purpose: To review the various rheumatologic manifestations of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and to discuss their potential pathogenic mechanisms.
Data Identification: A literature search using MEDLINE (1981 to 88) and Index Medicus (1981 to 88) and review of references from all identified articles.
Study Selection: All studies and case reports addressing arthritis, myopathies, vasculitis, the sicca syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, and autoimmune phenomena in HIV-infected patients are cited.
Results of Data Synthesis: The Reiter syndrome and other reactive arthritides are the commonest arthritides seen in HIV-infected patients. Psoriatic arthritis and septic arthritis with opportunistic agents, as well as an articular pain that is severe, acute, and intermittent, may also occur with HIV infection. An arthritis that may be specific for the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has been described. Myopathies, especially of a polymyositic type, vasculitis, and the sicca syndrome are also part of the spectrum of rheumatologic presentation of HIV infection. Several autoimmune phenomena, such as antinuclear and anticardiolipin antibodies, as well as lupus anticoagulant, have been reported in HIV-infected patients.
Conclusions: The Reiter syndrome, reactive arthritis, polymyositis, and the sicca syndrome may herald the onset of clinically evident HIV infection. These diseases and others may also occur in patients with full-blown AIDS. Furthermore, HIV infection may mimic systemic lupus erythematosus.

Mapping Where Animals Live
Lesson Plan
Students will study the New York State Amphibian and Reptile Atlas to learn how maps can display information on the distribution of animals.
Students will understand:
- how maps serve as representations of a geographic region;
- how maps can show where animals live in a certain region;
- how the distribution of animals varies geographically based on habitat requirements.
Grade level:
Elementary (Grades 4-6)
Subject Area:
Science, Social Studies
Social Studies Standard 3
Mathematics, Science, & Technology Standard 4
- Interpret data presented geographically on a map.
- Observe, identify, and communicate patterns in data.
- Analyze document-based information presented in scientific figures.
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Activity time: 40 minutes
Each student should have:
- Worksheet: Mapping Where Animals Live (pdf, 1.1 MB)
- Pencil or pen
Maps usually show terrain, political regions, roads, towns, and similar features of the natural and built landscape, but can also show other information linked to geography. This lesson explores maps from the New York State Amphibian and Reptile Atlas, often called the Herp Atlas. Herp derives from herpetofauna, the scientific term for animals classified as reptiles (snakes, lizards, turtles, and crocodiles) and amphibians (salamanders, frogs, and toads). Data collected by over 1,500 volunteers indicate whether or not a species was found in each of 979 U.S. Geological Survey map quadrangles that together form a mosaic covering all of New York.
Students will view actual Atlas maps and answer document-based questions about information in these scientific figures. The maps are unaltered except for being reduced in size and-most likely-converted to black and white in photocopying.
Students will learn how amphibian and reptile distribution is linked to habitat. Given the variety of habitats in the Hudson Valley, there is a great diversity of these animals here. In fact, there are more turtle species here than in almost any river valley elsewhere on Earth.
- Review the distinguishing characteristics of reptiles and amphibians.
- Review vocabulary words and the content of the Amphibian and Reptile Atlas.
- Compare an Atlas map to the state relief map showing counties. Point out the location of major topographic features such as the Adirondacks, Catskills, Atlantic Ocean, Great Lakes, and Hudson River. On the Atlas map, find the county in which your school is located.
- Complete the "Mapping Where Animals Live" worksheet in class.
- Explore Resources for links to more information about species included in this lesson.
- Have students share answers to worksheet questions, or collect and grade sheets.
- Visit the Atlas website (see Resources below) to select other maps for students to analyze. Suggestions: bullfrog, five-lined skink, Fowler's toad, and bog turtle.
Answer Key:
Available in the pdf version of this teacher's section and in the package that bundles all of the readings.
- amphibians: cold-blooded vertebrates that start life in water, breathing with gills, and later (usually) become air-breathing adults
- atlas: a book of maps
- habitat: the particular sort of place where a given plant or animal lives
- relief map: a map that shows the topography of an area
- reptile: cold-blooded, air-breathing vertebrates that usually lay eggs and have skin covered with scales or bony plates
- scientist: a person skilled in science
Classrooms with internet access can view all the actual maps at Amphibian and Reptile Atlas. Click on the group of animals desired (salamanders, turtles, etc.) from the column on the left and then scroll down through the table of species to choose one that interests you. In the table are links to fact sheets about some of the species included this lesson.

The Thule Perspectiv Backpack looks an ideal solution, and it might be if ...
For a professional photographer - and this is the target group Thule aims at - a notebook or MacbookAir is as important as his camera.
Missing space for a MacbookAir or at least an iPad is a fault that Thule should correct in its first upcoming version. If Thule had first really finished design thinking and discussing the design with professional photographers that are on the move they would have realized this and made the daypack a real must have.
For now I choose for a LowePro Backpack that fits both my Nikon + lenses and my MacbookAir or my iPad plus some additional day stuff. Although I started my search in the Thule corner of my photoshop.
Sorry for now for the Thule designers, but I suggest they go for the next step in designing and they do it quick! If the next version of the Perspective Daypack fits my iPad (or my Macbook Air) I'll be among the first buyers and users!!
It is very well made and extremely protective. It could have been the ideal one if not ...
The award was a bit pre-mature don't you think?
Contents inside the Thule Daypack move around, and once you pull out your DSLR the contents fall into where the camera was. The tripod strap doesn't go well with my Manfrotto tripod, in fact the back is too weak for professional tripods.
Best to stick with Dakine for now.

I had a nice time with K. Xx – he is very funny!
Hi Bus!
How are you? How was your weekend? I had a nice time with K. Xx - he is very funny! I will be friends for sure if he calls me to go out again. I am not sure if there is enough attraction for a relationship - so early it is hard to tell! I think it grows sometimes when you like the person. I have never dated anyone older ever so I don't know! He thought I looked xx!
lol I guess I have never ever dated older men before Bangkok Matching set me up with older men - this is really the first time for sure! So it is hard to say if I could be attracted to him or not! lol
I always date younger men xxxx because I look so much younger it is never a problem for me - but maybe they are not serious and ready to marry! lol So we shall see - friends for sure but there is no attraction for me at first meeting.....can it grow maybe? I don't know! Thanks for trying.

How hard can it be to write using only the ten hundred words which are used the most often?
On Friday & Saturday this week, I will be attending a conference run by Nature Publishing Group at the British Library in London. The event is called Science Policy, Outreach and Tools Online, which is shortened to SpotOn London, which is shortened in turn to Solo. Yeah... science communication conferences are somewhat renowned for using obscure acronyms. But let's be forgiving, this is an industry-internal event after all.
The bulk of the conference programme is taken up by panel sessions and workshops in each of the three themes (i.e.: science policy online; science outreach online; science (publishing) tools online). Panel sessions will encourage plenty of audience discussion, whereas workshops will feature more hands-on activities. My main contribution to the conference will be one of the latter.
Specifically, in my workshop "How hard can it be to write using only the ten hundred words which are used the most often?" (Saturday, 3:30pm, Bronte room) we'll take a look at the question of technical vocabulary in online science writing. I will give teams of participants a variety of texts (from a range of scientific and non-scientific fields) with the objective of "translating" them using the Up-goer 5 text editor. Up-goer 5 allows only the thousand most common words in the English language and was inspired by this xkcd comic.
By setting an unrealistically difficult challenge, I'm hoping to generate some thoughts about what words constitute "jargon" and in what contexts they are more acceptable. Does science rely more heavily on technical words than other fields? Are there differences among the sciences? The room will hopefully be full of experts in online science publishing, so I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with. I will set up a freely-editable online document to store people's thoughts and "translations" so people can make use of them afterwards.
Up-goer 5's co-pilot
Given the number of people likely to be in the room (I've been told to expect roughly a third of the 200 or so total conference attendees), I've recruited Anna Sharman to take charge of half the group. Anna has a wealth of experience in editing and proofreading in biomedical communication as well as facilitating workshops, so I'm really looking forward to working with her. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Anna for agreeing to help out on the basis of a single email.
Aside: Online discussions have recently revealed that organisers of the Science Online 2014 conference in the USA have opted to select only one moderator per session. David Dobbs, among others, has pointed out that this leaves sessions (and by extension, the entire conference) vulnerable to last-minute cancellations. Also, moderators for Science Online 2014 were apparently chosen to deliver sessions originally proposed by others, which (to me at least) looks a lot like the organisers effectively stealing pitchers' ideas and re-distributing them. All this without even letting unsuccessful candidates know before general publication of the programme. Both of these issues have the potential to jeopardize my participation in SpotOn, so I'm very pleased about how the organisers have handled recruitment and communication in the run-up to the event.
Hashtag #solo13upgoer
As well as the conference-wide #solo13, each session has its own Twitter hashtag. The one to use for this session is #solo13upgoer. There will only be minimal scope for us to interact with tweeters on the hashtag during the workshop itself (especially compared to discussion sessions with a dedicated social media monitor), but keep an eye on it beforehand and afterwards for links to resources and examples of the editor in action.
If you won't attending the conference in person, you'll still be able to follow some of the action via the livestream webcast (link TBA), and using the hashtags mentioned above. I'm not yet sure whether mine will be available online in real time, but I'm told it will at least be recorded. I'll make sure to promote the link here and on Twitter when it's ready.
The rest
I've not made my mind up completely, but these sessions look particularly interesting to me:
- Keynote: 1 boson, 50 years, 50,003 scientists: understanding our universe through global scientific collaboration and Open Access by Salvatore Mele (Disclosure: Salvatore and I both work at CERN, but I won't be going in any official capacity.)
- Panel session (outreach): Communicating Science in an Open Access World by Eva Amsen & Jon Tennant, #solo13open
- Panel session (policy): What constitutes "acceptable evidence" in evidence-based policy? by Prateek Bush, #solo13accept
- Panel session (outreach): Science games: does play work? by Anna Perman, #solo13play
- Workshop (outreach): The Dark Art of Dark Social: Email, the antisocial medium which will not die by Alan Cann, #solo13dark
- Workshop (tools): Wikipedia editing by Brian Kelly and Toni Sant, #solo13wiki
- Workshop (policy): Making Research Useful: The Consequences of (Bad) Communication by Sophie Kay, #solo13lego (Yes, I'm aware this one clashed with my own workshop. That doesn't stop it from being interesting to me! Plus they have Lego.)
I'm also looking forward to watching the Story Collider and Science Showoff fringe events. I've previously been a performer at both. Needless to say, I'm a fan of this kind of thing.
Finally, I gather there will be cake. Nom.
Over to you:

A stone's throw from levees breached by Hurricane Katrina, a striking modern structure by architects Matthew Berman and Andrew Kotchen is rising. And a certain movie star is beaming like a proud papa. "I want to be here when this is finished—and visit a month after a family moves in," says Brad Pitt, who with the environmental group Global Green USA and the Home Depot Foundation sponsored construction of the two-story, 1,400-sq.-ft. house for low-income victims of the disaster. Now they're hoping to build more, using private donations, and to eventually house 23 families in similar buildings. On Aug. 21 Pitt gave PEOPLE a tour of the home, pointing out eco-friendly features like solar panels and treated wood that protects against mold. Those tweaks will "reduce utility bills by 75 percent," says Global Green president/CEO Matt Petersen. Their plans may also help revive a great city. "I think we'll really improve quality of life," says Pitt. "That's what I call a victory."

Ask Dr. K: Smokers urged to keep trying to quit
Q I have tried to quit smoking several times but just can't. The patch and Chantix didn't work. Support groups aren't for me. Are there any other approaches that might help?
A Keep trying. It often takes smokers several tries before they are successful. I spoke to my colleague, Dr. Thomas Lee, editor-in-chief of the Harvard Heart Letter, who has heard this question from many of his patients. Here are our thoughts.
Because nicotine is highly addictive, withdrawal symptoms, especially cigarette cravings, can feel impossible to deny.
Smokers today have a number of tools to fight tobacco addiction. These include nicotine replacement (nicotine patches, gums, lozenges, inhalers and sprays); non-nicotine medications such as bupropion (Zyban, Wellbutrin) and varenicline (Chantix); counseling and behavior-change therapy; and social support. None are miracle workers.
You mentioned the nicotine patch. Try it again, this time in combination with a nicotine gum, lozenge or inhaler to help to handle breakthrough cravings the patch can't counteract.
You also said that Chantix didn't help. Chantix helps cut down cravings and withdrawal symptoms and, by partially blocking the effect of nicotine, reduces smoking's "reward." Try Zyban, a drug that helps reduce the desire to smoke, which may work better for you.
Even if you don't want to join a support group, call the national quit line at 800-QUIT-NOW. You can get free, helpful support from the comfort of your home.
Some of my patients have two misconceptions about the risks of smoking that discourage them from trying to quit. The first is that smoking leads just to lung cancer, and because they haven't known many people with lung cancer, it can't be that common. In fact, smoking increases the risk for many kinds of cancer, including cancers of the colon, liver, kidney, pancreas, stomach and cervix, as well as a kind of leukemia.
The other misconception is, "What's the use; the damage is already done." If you've been smoking for decades, you may have some permanent damage in the lung. But two hours after your last cigarette, nicotine starts leaving your body. One month later, much of the lung damage starts to heal. One year later, your risk of a heart attack or stroke is much lower. So is your risk of lung cancer.
Work with your doctor or a smoking cessation specialist to figure out a plan tailored for you.

From time to time, I get calls from readers who have questions about vegan nutrition. While I know enough to answer a handful of basic questions -- "Where do you get your protein?" is a common query -- I'm a cooking guy, not a nutritionist.
For the tougher questions, I turn to the website of Virginia Messina, a registered dietitian who is an authority on the benefits and potential pitfalls of plant-based eating.
Recipes included with this story: Mediterranean Beans With Greens, Silky Strawberry Smoothie."Vegan for Her: The Woman's Guide to Being Healthy and Fit on a Plant-Based Diet." It's a comprehensive guide that tackles everything from the basics of transitioning to and following a plant-based diet, to how it can be used to manage complex health problems such as osteoporosis, diabetes and heart disease.
But "Vegan for Her" is more than just a nutrition guide. To complement Messina's guidance, there are more than 50 easy recipes from lifestyle coach and seriously good cook JL Fields.
I caught up with Messina and Fields when they were in town recently to talk about the new book and the vegan lifestyle.
How did "Vegan for Her" come about?
Messina: I had just finished the book "Vegan for Life," and I was getting a lot of questions from women about issues that they felt I hadn't addressed, like fertility. Women wanted more information about breast cancer and real specific things like PMS and cramps. I thought it would be really nice to have a book just for women addressing these needs.
Messina: We looked specifically at the compounds in soy foods, isoflavones -- what they are, and why they are not the same as estrogen. Isoflavones actually have effects that are the opposite of estrogen in some tissues of the body. I've looked at the relationship of soy foods to fertility, to menopause, to breast cancer, to bone health, and there's not a cause for concern. There are instances where we thought soy might be beneficial but it's really just benign. For instance, evidence suggests that women who start eating soy foods in adulthood do not have a lower risk of breast cancer. It seems that young girls who eat soy foods at the time of puberty do have a lower life-long risk of breast cancer, but for those of us who become vegan and start eating soy in adulthood, there's no relationship there.
What about women who have already developed breast cancer?
Messina: There's good evidence that eating soy improves prognosis, and there's really good evidence that for women who suffer considerably from hot flashes during menopause that soy foods help. And there's growing evidence that there's a good relationship between soy foods and wrinkle reduction and better skin health. That's not a health issue, but it's a nice thing.
In your research, what did you find out about vegan eating and things like prenatal nutrition and pregnancy?
Messina: There aren't a whole lot of studies that have looked specifically at outcomes of vegan pregnancies, but the couple of studies we do have show that there's no difference. As long as women are eating a healthy, well-balanced vegan diet, they gain enough weight and they give birth to babies that are of normal, adequate weight. Those are the two big outcomes that we look at for pregnancy: good weight gain, good-size baby. Vegans do fine in that regard.
Messina: There are some studies that suggest that vegans perhaps have poorer bone health in some cases, but it's strictly an issue of calcium intake. A lot of vegans are not paying attention to calcium. A lot of vegans have been misled by older data suggesting that if you weren't eating animal protein, you didn't need to worry about calcium. That's turned out to be untrue. Unfortunately for some vegans, the truth came out a little too late. As new information comes to light and we learn that vegans have the same calcium needs as everyone else, hopefully we'll see more vegans choosing calcium-rich foods. It's easy to do. There are advantages to bone health from eating lots of fruits and vegetables; vitamin K is important for bone density, and it's in leafy green vegetables.
How did you decide what sort of recipes would dovetail with the nutritional information in the book?
Messina: I gave JL a list of foods and a list of the types of recipes that I was looking for. I wanted some breakfasts, some desserts, and I wanted to have some Mediterranean-style recipes because there's an emphasis on that style of eating in the book.
Fields: I loved it when she would send me an email saying, "Can you make something with beans and olives?" I said, "Yeah, this is fun!" That exchange ended up becoming one of my favorite recipes in the book, Mediterranean Beans With Greens. We know that there will be vegans who buy this book, but there will be more people who aren't vegan who want to see if they can really do this, and who want simple, accessible recipes. Those are the only kind I know.
How important was it for you to create recipes with everyday ingredients?
Fields: Why would we want to make something complicated when it doesn't have to be? I love that we have recipes with ingredients that people can recognize. I think the recipes have familiar flavors. Yes, we have recipes with tofu and tempeh, but we also have dishes with canned beans and canned tomatoes that anyone can make in 10 minutes.

Valentine's Day in America
Valentine's Day is one of the most widely-celebrated days in America. Walk into a restaurant for dinner without making a reservation, and you'll realize just how popular it is. Valentine's Day cards are the most popular way in which Americans express affection to their sweethearts, so let's take a look at how Valentine's cards have changed over the years.
Giving cards has always been a popular way to celebrate Valentine's Day in America. Today, 188 million cards are exchanged every year - an amazing amount, considering that there are 300 million people living in the US. Early American cards could be simple love letters or very elaborate works of art that could include decorations such as flowers, berries, and sea shells. Some were designed to be hung on a cord or lace, so that they created a three dimensional picture. Today, cards run the gambit from traditional paper cards to elaborately decorated cards, e-cards, and romantic IOUs.
Valentine's cards also reflect the sentiments of the day. During the Civil War, many cards had political and patriotic messages and imagery. Love letters between soldiers and their sweethearts have become collectors items and family heirlooms, and remind us that love and romance is present in even the most gruesome circumstances.
But not all Valentine's cards were romantic and loving. Some people sent spiteful cards to ex-lovers or played practical jokes on people. Nowadays, this anti-Valentine's spirit has given rise to Singles Awareness Day, where single people get together and celebrate their freedom and independence.
While Valentine's day is traditionally associated with romance and lovers, it is also a time to remember other loved-ones, like your family, parents, and children. Valentine's Day is a day for reminding people that you love them and care about them, and that is just as important for families as it is for lovers.
Online shops allow people to easily send Valentine's Day gifts to their loved-ones. MyHeritage's UK shop allows you to send chocolates and cards to your family, and remember that you get 5% off any purchase until Valentine's Day! Just enter sendyourvalentine in the promo box to get your discount.
And look out for our US shop, it is on the way!

text: We HAVE to trust GOD. I was upset at first, then sad. I believe that this was a trial run for the mark of the beast to see how many will sell their freedom. If they will sell their freedom, they will probably take the mark. Could be wrong as I'm not a prophet, but all the signs point to it coming soon.

2006 Jenke-Vineyards Barossa Shiraz
Mission Codename: That's not a wine, THIS is a wine!
Operative: Agent White
Objective: Secure an exclusive allocation of a big, rich and bold Barossa Valley Shiraz
Mission Status: Accomplished!
Current Winery: Jenke-Vineyards
Wine Subject: 2006 Barossa Shiraz
Winemaker: Kym Jenke
South Australia's Barossa Valley is the regions most important and oldest of wine-growning regions. Well known for its 'pull not punches' Shiraz, the region's cool ocean breeze on an otherwise hot dry climate, dry limestone and clay soil and relatively flat aspect that ranges from about 800 to 2000 feet in elevation provides an ideal growing environment for Shiraz as well as Chardonnay, Semillon and Riesling.
Wine Spies Tasting Profile:
Look – Extremely dark and dense purple and garnet with a deep inky center. Along the edges light passes through the wine showing garnet hues that also color the slow fat and evenly spaced legs that ring the glass when swirled.
Smell – Rich and vibrant with redolent ripe and spiced black and red fruit including black cherry and wild black and raspberry. Classic aromas of meaty leather blend with spice, sweet tobacco and black pepper along with a subtle floral quality that is all framed by its oak components.
Feel – Big, expansive and mouth-coating with fine well developed but firm tannins that greet you upon your first sip and linger long into the finish. Easy acidity adds to the chewy but not overly brash character of this robust wine.
Taste – Fruit forward flavors of spice and aromatic black cherry, blackberry, raspberry and plum meld with the meaty leather, spice and pepper found on the nose. Smokey sweet tobacco, toasted oak are present just underneath the fruit.
Finish – Extremely long with this wine's lingering deeply layered fruit fading in unison with its leather, tobacco, pepper and oak flavors.
Conclusion – If you are a fan of big, rich and robust Australian wines, then the 2006 Jenke-Vineyards Barossa Shiraz is right up your alley. true to the Barossa Valley's style this wine is muscular with tons of concentrated fruit, meaty leather and tobacco and a solid oak backbone. Drinking very well now (we recommend decanting to reveal all of this wine's aromas and flavors) or cellar for 5-10 years in your cellar. Pair this with anything you can throw on the barbie.

CALIFORNIA WINE JOB BRIEF: Vintages at DeMoor ( Napa Cellars 87), Stryker Sonoma ( 01/02/03)
WINEMAKING PHILOSOPHY: Making pure varietals from estate owned Vineyards
WINEMAKER QUOTE: "Life moves pretty fast, If you don't stop to look around, you could miss it!" – Ferris Beuhler
FIRST COMMERCIAL WINE RELEASE: 1/6 1989: 1989 Semillon
AGENT RED: Greetings, Kym. We are thrilled to be showing your 2006 Barossa Shiraz today. Thanks so much for taking some time to answer questions for our Operatives today.
KYM JENKE: Absolutely. It is my pleasure.
RED: Was there a specific experience in your life that inspired your love of wine?
KYM Being the son of a grape grower, and 6th generation vigneron, I have grown up in the industry. But perhaps the first time I ever really thought about making wine, was my first visit to Napa in 1983.
RED: What wine or winemaker has most influenced your winemaking style?
KYM I made my first wines at Kies Estate, under the watchful eye of Nigel Logos. After that, I made wine up at Charlie Melton's place, and naturally these gents had some influence on my approach to winemaking. I also love what Rick Burge and Charles Melton deliver each and every year. I'm happy to consider them friends as well as peers. The one thing I wanted to do from the beginning was to make 100% varietal wines that were terrior driven and truly captured the time and place of our little spot in the Barossa.
RED: Who do you make wine for?
KYM I've always made wine for myself, the way I wanted to make (and drink) them!
RED: Please tell me a little bit about the wine we are featuring today.
KYM 2006 was a difficult vintage, as the weather was warm and it was a pretty dry year. The fruit came in at 15 bohme (27 Brix) which is a bit higher than I like, and the resultant wine ended up at nearly 16% alcohol, which is definitely higher than I like them to be… I truly believe that wine should be around 13.5 – 14.5%. However, weren't we surprised at how well balanced the finished wine turned out, despite its higher alcohol. We thought we had a pretty good one despite the higher than normal alcohol, but I was even more surprised when the wine received and Editor's Choice designation and a 91 points rating from Wine Enthusiast.
RED: What is your favorite pairing with today's wine?
KYM Leg 'o Lamb. On the grill, lightly seasoned with salt, pepper, and stuffed with rosemary sprigs before grilling. Served medium-rare to let the flavors really explode in your mouth.
RED: In your opinion, what makes the [REGION] so special?
KYM Terroir, terrior, terrior. Of course every winemaker will tell you that… But being a sixth generation Barossan, there really is nothing quite like our little piece of the world.
RED: What is occupying your time at the winery these days?
KYM We just recently finished winter pruning, so there isn't a great deal to do other than topping barrels. And, of course, getting out there and selling wine.
RED: How would you recommend people approach your wines and wine in general?
KYM Wine is an experience. Every vineyard, every year, and often every bottle can be different based upon when you drink it, what you pair it with, or even what mood you're in… I always find the best way to approach and enjoy my wines is surrounded by friends, and paired with great food.
RED: Is there anything else you'd like to share with our readers?
KYM I have always had a love affair with the US, which dates back to my first visit in 1983 as a Foreign Exchange Student with the AFS program. On my first trip to Napa I discovered several smaller, family owned wineries making their own wine (and whole lot of big commercial wineries too) which inspired me to come home and build something for our family. 27 years later, I finally find myself with the opportunity to sell my wines in the US, and I'm proud to be able to do so. Far too many people have given up on Aussie wines, as quite frankly there are far too many commercial ventures here guilty of selling low priced wines in the US. I would like to say to your readers, don't give up on Australia. There are still many small producers like myself, that are making wines for the ages, not the wages. Why? The reason is that it is in our blood, not in our pocketbooks, to continue to do what we love.
RED: Thank you so much for your time. We learned a lot about you – and your wine. Keep up the great work, we are big fans!

"Aluminum High Speed Machining" quickly delves into an explanation of why HSM conditions (18,000 rpm, in this study) produce remarkable results, such as improved surface finish, lower machining forces and longer tool life, in addition to significant productivity gains (increased metal removal rates). Given these benefits, users might wonder if the quality of the metalworking fluid applied in HSM contributes any further value, which it clearly does in conventional machining. Results show that a properly formulated fluid does offer significant benefit, especially in terms of reduced tool wear and part quality. In HSM of aluminum, the right fluid still helps.
Whether or not your focus is on metalworking fluids, this paper is a good reminder why HSM is an important option for higher productivity.

Circa 1918 Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Dry Docks Team Panorama with Babe Ruth
Starting Bid - $500.00, Sold For - $7,637.50
Spectacular panoramic photograph captures the members of the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Dry Docks, one of the top independent semipro teams in the country, as they pose together along their respective baselines prior to an exhibition game at Oriole Park in Baltimore. The most prominent player pictured is Babe Ruth, who is positioned first in line for the Red Sox (closest to home plate). This photo, taken from the perspective of the pitcher's mound, displays remarkable clarity and encompasses nearly the entire filled-to-capacity grandstand areas. The photographer's credit ("Hughes Co.") appears in the lower right corner. Although the photograph is undated, Ruth and the Red Sox traveled to Baltimore to play the Dry Docks in both 1918 and 1919. (The Red Sox also played the Baltimore Orioles twice in 1919.) These exhibition games were particularly significant for Ruth as well as for Baltimore fans, as Ruth of course grew up in Baltimore and signed his first professional contract with Jack Dunn's Baltimore Orioles in 1914. Ruth considered Baltimore his true home and frequently came to town to visit family and friends at St. Mary's, but only had the opportunity to play baseball for the fans of Baltimore these few times after making it to the Major Leagues. For Ruth and for Baltimore these games were a homecoming. Ruth certainly put on a good show for his hometown constituents during his four visits to Baltimore in 1918 and 1919. In the 1918 game against the Dry Docks, played on September 7th, Ruth hit two home runs in leading the Red Sox to a 10-6 victory. Prior to the game Ruth also presented the Dry Docks with a silver trophy cup for winning the shipyard league championship. The following season, Ruth once again put on a hitting clinic for the Baltimore faithful. In the three exhibition games (one against the Dry Docks and two against the Orioles), Ruth came to bat eleven times and produced a total of eight hits, all of which were home runs (including six in a row against the Orioles). The photograph (45 x 9.25 inches) has a half-inch tear in the top edge (extremely minor and mentioned strictly for the sake of accuracy) and is in Excellent condition overall. Framed to total dimension of 47 x 11 inches. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$1,500. SOLD FOR $7,637.50
