Airport's runway expansion OK'dNovember 13,2013Airport's runway
extension is OK'd
WILMINGTON — Plans to upgrade and continue the revitalization of a southern Vermont airport have gotten another big boost after Wilmington's Development Review Board approved a plan that to extend the runway.
The conditional-use permit issued last week calls for a runway that would be no more than 4,450 feet long and 75 feet wide.
Much of the airport is in Dover, but a section of the runway is in Wilmington.
Earlier this year the former Mount Snow Airport was purchased and renamed the Deerfield Valley Airport. It's part of a broader plan to bring more visitors to the region.

|Part of the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season
Hurricane Bill was a large Atlantic tropical cyclone that wrought minor damage across mainly Atlantic Canada and the East Coast of the United States during August 2009. The second named storm, first hurricane, and first major hurricane of the annual hurricane season, Bill originated from a tropical wave in the eastern Atlantic on August 15. Initially a tropical depression, the cyclone intensified within a favorable atmospheric environment, becoming Tropical Storm Bill six hours after formation. Steered west-northwest around the southern periphery of a subtropical ridge to the northeast of the cyclone, Bill passed through the central Atlantic. At 0600 UTC on August 17, the cyclone strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale; within 36 hours, Bill entered a period of rapid deepening and intensified into a major hurricane with winds of 115 mph (185 km/h). Passing well northeast of the Lesser Antilles, Bill attained its peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of 130 mph (215 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 943 mb (hPa; 27.85 inHg) on August 19 and August 20, respectively. Thereafter, an approaching trough induced higher vertical wind shear across the region, causing slow weakening of the hurricane; this same trough resulted in an accelerated motion and curve northward. As the storm passed Bermuda, it contained sustained winds equal to a Category 2, and ultimately struck Newfoundland as a tropical storm. After moving inland and weakening to a tropical storm, Bill began an extratropical transition; this alteration in structure was completed by 1200 UTC on August 24. Two days later, Bill's remnant low was absorbed into a larger extratropical system over the Northern Atlantic.
Bill caused $46.2 million in damages and two deaths over a nine-day period. As it passed close to Bermuda, the hurricane caused power outages and strong winds, though damage was minor. Despite remaining well offshore of the United States East Coast, the storm's large wind field contributed to strong surf which caused severe beach erosion. Numerous offshore rescue operations occurred as a result of people swept away by the strong waves. All two deaths caused by the hurricane were the result of drownings off the U.S. coast. In some areas of New England, the storm's outer rainbands caused flash flooding. In Atlantic Canada, Bill caused mainly power outages and flooding events. Several roads were flooded in Nova Scotia, and 32,000 people lost power. In Newfoundland, where the hurricane made landfall, strong winds caused minor tree damage. As an extratropical system, Bill dropped light rainfall in the British Isles and Scandinavia.
Meteorological history[edit]
A tropical wave moved off the western coast of Africa on August 12, 2009, and entered the Atlantic Ocean. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) remarked upon the possibility for tropical cyclone development, as the wave had already been accompanied by a broad area of shower and thunderstorm activity.[1] The wave quickly organized, and a low pressure system formed to the south of the Cape Verde Islands on August 13.[2] The convection became slightly less organized on August 14,[3] though by early August 15, the NHC reported that a tropical depression was forming.[4] The system was declared Tropical Depression Three later that day.[5]
The newly designated depression continued to intensify, and it was quickly upgraded to Tropical Storm Bill.[6] Numerous rainbands had begun to develop, though the storm lacked deep convection near its center. At this time, Bill was already predicted to become a hurricane.[7] By early on August 16, the storm had developed what NHC forecasters described as a "beautiful" cloud pattern, and environmental conditions favored continued strengthening.[8] Bill intensified to attain Category 1 hurricane status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale early on August 17.[9]
By late August 17, satellite imagery indicated that an eye feature may have been developing.[10] Bill sustained deep convection and well-established upper-level outflow;[11] it was upgraded to Category 2 status shortly before undergoing an eyewall replacement cycle.[12] Early August 18, the storm had established a very symmetric and well-organized appearance on satellite imagery, and a large, pronounced eye. The storm was moving west-northwestward under the steering currents of a subtropical ridge to the north.[13] Information derived from Hurricane Hunter reports and satellite imagery indicated that the storm had strengthened and reached Category 3 intensity on August 18, making it a major hurricane.[14] Despite some wind shear, Bill was upgraded further to Category 4 intensity on August 19 and reached maximum size with hurricane-force winds extending 115 miles (180 kilometers) and tropical storm force winds extending 290 miles (467 kilometers) from the center[15]
On August 20, the storm began to weaken, being downgraded to a Category 3, as convection associated with it diminished somewhat.[16] The storm's eyewall also weakened, with a portion of it dissipating later that day. Shear also deteriorated the structure of the storm, with clouds being displaced from the main circulation.[17] However, shortly after, the eye became much better defined and developed several mesovortices, a feature typical of intense hurricanes.[18] On August 21, Bill was downgraded to a Category 2 hurricane as the structure of the storm deteriorated; however, the atmospheric pressure in the eye was 954 mbar (hPa) at that time, equivalent to a strong Category 3 storm.[19] By the morning of August 22, the hurricane completed an eyewall replacement cycle and featured a 55 mi (88 km) wide eye.[20]
Later on August 22, the storm weakened to a Category 1 hurricane as Bill tracked over cooler waters.[21] The storm maintained its intensity through August 23 as it retained its cloud-filled eye and tracked at a quick pace to the north-northeast producing 26.4 m (87 ft) waves at La Have Bank Buoy (station 44142) (Lat: 42.50N, Lon: 64.02W)[22] and 16 ft surge on coastlines in New England and Nova Scotia.[23] The storm then made landfall shortly before midnight local time, at Point Rosie, on the Burin Peninsula of Newfoundland as 70 mph (110 km/h) tropical storm.[24] Shortly after this it was downgraded to a tropical storm, and then lost tropical characteristics.[25] The remnants of Bill crossed the Atlantic Ocean as an extratropical storm and later impacted the United Kingdom with heavy rain and surf.[26] On August 26, the remnants of Hurricane Bill were absorbed by a larger extratropical cyclone, near the British Isles.[24]
On August 18, the Emergency Measures Organisation (EMO) of Bermuda advised the public to begin preparing for Hurricane Bill. Derrick Binns, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Labour, Home Affairs and Housing, reported that "We have been following the storm closely since its inception, and today we reviewed our planning and procedures to ensure all are in sync. While we have not as yet issued hurricane warnings, I think it is important to advise residents to check their emergency kits to be sure supplies are adequate."[27] Residents on the island were instructed to review their emergency supplies, while boat owners were urged to secure their watercrafts.[28] By August 20, preparations had expanded as the projected path of Bill was to pass 200 miles west-southwest of the British overseas territory early on August 22.[29] Late on August 21, The Causeway bridge linking the eastern parish of St. Georges was closed as well as L.F. Wade International Airport. Ferry service was cancelled until August 23.[30] Late on August 21, tropical storm force winds were observed in Bermuda with some gusts above hurricane force.[31]
United States[edit]
In response to predictions of rough surf and rip currents, the Atlantic Beach, North Carolina fire department planned to increase the number of on-duty lifeguards.[32] On Long Island, New York, local officials began tracking Hurricane Bill and initiating preparations.[33] Local crew workers trimmed trees to reduce the amount of airborne debris. On August 17, the United States Army assessed 30 key buildings for power needs. Residents were urged to stock up on food and emergency supplies as officials estimated that in the event of a hurricane emergency, nearly 650,000 people would not have access to shelter. The Suffolk County Red Cross began organizing catering agencies to prepare meals to supply shelters.[33] The Long Island Power Authority also took preventative measures.[34]
On August 20, the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency made several conference calls with the National Weather Service about possible impacts from the storm in the state, particularly in Cape Cod.[35] Bill came close enough to the region to warrant a tropical storm warning for a while.[20]
Peter Bowyer, Program Supervisor of the Canadian Hurricane Centre, advised Nova Scotia residents to monitor the storm's progress and take necessary precautions. He said it is "almost inevitable that the storm will find some part of Eastern Canada. Whether that's the marine areas or the land district, it's still too far to say."[36] Dozens of flights were canceled ahead of the storm at Halifax Stanfield International Airport and ferry service between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland was temporarily canceled.[37] Offshore, the Exxon Mobil corporation evacuated nearly 200 personnel from a project near Nova Scotia as a precaution.[38] On August 22, officials announced that all parks in Nova Scotia would be closed for the duration of Hurricane Bill.[39]
On August 22, Environment Canada, the meteorological agency of Canada, issued a tropical storm warning from Charlesville in Shelburne County, Nova Scotia eastward to Ecum Secum in the Halifax Regional Municipality. A hurricane watch was issued for areas between Ecum Secum eastward to Point Aconi. The remaining north coast of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and western Newfoundland were placed under a tropical storm watch.[40] Several hours later, the tropical storm warning was extended to include the areas under a hurricane watch and most of Newfoundland was placed under a tropical storm watch.[41] Early on August 23, a tropical storm warning was issued in Newfoundland for areas between Stone's Cove and Cape Bonavista.[42] About 150 people were evacuated from two senior homes in Newfoundland and the town of Placentia was put under a state of emergency in fears of storm surge damage.[43]
Republic of Ireland and United Kingdom[edit]
On August 25, Met Éireann issued gale warnings across the south of Ireland, and advised small boats not to go out to sea until the system had passed. They also forecast up to 1 in (25 mm) of rain across Ireland.[44] The Met Office in the UK issued severe weather warnings in preparation for the arrival of the storm.
On August 19, Peter Bray, a British rower attempting to break the record for the quickest solo crossing of the Atlantic was forced to abandon his boat and board the RRS James Cook due to being in the path of Hurricane Bill.[45] Large, life-threatening swells produced by the storm impacted north-facing coastlines of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola as Hurricane Bill approached Bermuda.[46][47]
United States[edit]
In Massachusetts, outer bands of Hurricane Bill produced significant amounts of rainfall, peaking at 3.74 in (95 mm) in Kingston, Massachusetts. Most areas along the eastern portion of the state received rain during the night of August 22 into the morning of August 23, with several areas exceeding 2 in (51 mm).[48] On Long Island, beach damage was severe; in some areas the damage was the worst since Hurricane Gloria in 1985. Along the coasts of North Carolina, waves averaging 10 ft (3.0 m) in height impacted beaches. In Wrightsville Beach, up to 30 rescues were made due to strong rip currents and large swells; however, only one incident resulted in hospitalization. Severe beach erosion took place at Bald Head Island, where 150 ft (46 m) of beach was washed away, resulting in the loss of the remaining sea turtle nests.[49]
Along the coastlines of Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware, waves were estimated to have reached 8 ft (2.4 m) at the height of the event.[50] Beaches along the Georgia coastline, located nearly 600 mi (970 km) from Bill, recorded large swells from the storm and strong rip currents.[51] In Delaware, waves peaked near 10 ft (3.0 m), resulting in one serious injury after a man was tossed by a wave and thrown face-first into the sand.[52]
Waves along the Georgia coast averaged 5 to 6 ft (1.5 to 1.8 m) in height with some reaching 8 ft (2.4 m). This resulted in numerous lifeguard rescues and some minor coastal flooding.[53] Beaches along Long Island were closed after waves up to 12 ft (3.7 m) began to cause coastal flooding and beach erosion.[54] All beaches around New York City were closed due to the risk of strong rip currents and waves up to 20 ft (6.1 m).[55] In southern New York, a cold front stalled by Hurricane Bill produced torrential rainfall, amounting to at least 2 in (51 mm) in a few hours, causing flash flooding and a tornado in Maine. Lightning produced by severe thunderstorms also left 5,000 residences without power.[56]
A 54-year-old man drowned at New Smyrna Beach, Volusia County, Florida due to the heavy surf.[57] In New York, severe beach erosion caused by the storm resulted in over $35.5 million in losses.[58] A 7-year-old girl drowned after she, her father, and a 12-year-old girl were swept off a rocky ledge near Acadia National Park in Maine on August 23.[59] The three were part of an early afternoon crowd of thousands who lined the Maine's national park's rocky shoreline to watch the high surf and crashing waves. Authorities said that about 20 people were swept away, but 17 of them made back to shore safely. Eleven were sent to area hospitals for spinal cord injuries.[60]
Two lifeguards at Mecox Beach in Watermill, New York accompanied endurance artist David Blaine back to shore after he was allegedly caught in a rip current after ignoring signs and verbal warnings not to swim in the ocean on August 23. Blaine said he was not in trouble and did not need the rescue.[61][62][63]
Further inland, a band of heavy rain fueled by tropical moisture from Bill produced upwards of 5 in (130 mm) in southern New Hampshire during an eight-hour span. The intense rainfall led to significant flash flooding that covered several roads and inundated homes.[64] Mudslides also closed roads in portions of the state as hillsides collapsed. Seven people required water rescue after their cars stalled in floodwaters. Overall, the floods left roughly $700,000 in damages in New Hampshire but no fatalities or injuries.[64][65][66]
Bermuda and Atlantic Canada[edit]
The hurricane had little impact in Bermuda. A public high school was designated as an emergency shelter, into which The Salvation Army took six homeless people. Some 3,700 households experienced power outages at some point during the storm, and in some instances cable television and internet services were also interrupted, particularly in the central Spanish Point headland. During the daytime on Saturday, public works crews performed cleanup of light debris, mostly discarded garbage unveiled by the storm.[67]
By the afternoon of August 23, up to 2.3 in (58 mm) of rain had fallen in southern Nova Scotia.[68] At least 32,000 residences in Nova Scotia had lost power due to the storm.[69] At the height of the storm, 45,000 people were without power and rainfall rates reached 1.2 in/h (30 mm/h). Several roads were flooded and overall damage was considered minor. Three people were injured by large waves and a gift shop and a home were badly damaged while a fish shed and breakwater were destroyed at Peggys Cove after being washed away by a 33 ft (10 m) wave.[70] Offshore, a buoy measured waves up to 85 feet (26 m).[71] Winds in Nova Scotia were recorded up to 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts.[72]
In Newfoundland, the Avalon Peninsula experienced the highest winds from Hurricane Bill. A wind gust of 80 mph (130 km/h) was recorded in Cape Race. In St. John's, trees were blown down by the strong winds. However, rains from Bill mostly affected central areas of the island, where rainfall peaked at 2.75 in (70 mm) in Gander.[73] Rains washed out roads, and was responsible for some localized freshwater flooding.[74] Other areas of the central and southern coasts also received rain.[73] Damage from the storm throughout Atlantic Canada reached $10 million.[75]
Throughout the British Isles, the remnants of Bill produced high winds and heavy rains. All of Ireland and most of the United Kingdom was affected by the storm in some way. Rainfall in the United Kingdom peaked at 31 mm (1.2 in) in Shap.[76] After passing through the British Isles, the remnant system affected parts of Scandinavia before dissipating.[77]

***I posted this on my birth board and was basically attacked lol I didn't know this group existed so I know you all will be a little more understanding. I'm so happy I found this group!!
A little back story: My inlaws hate me, I hate them. They have only been a thorn in my side with my daughter's life. They are horrible people and don't deserve to see my kid and do nothing to even try... but of course, it's my fault. Everything is my fault, blah blah blah
I am having the dumbest issue in the world. I personally think that grandparents should be called Grandma (blank) and Grandpa (blank) unless the CHILD picks otherwise, that is what I called my grandparents so that is my norm. Well my now almost 5 y/o niece started calling my mom Nana. So she became Nana. I remember telling my MIL that and she said (like a child), "hmph... I wanted to be called Nana." Yeah. Fat. Chance." (My dad was killed in the line of duty when I was 16 so unfortunately we don't have to worry about him. But his g-kids know him as Papa Kevin) So I have my DD,.. MIL throws a b-fit bc she wasn't called when I had the baby. Sorry my baby, my vagina. It was DH decision not to call them, not mine. She ruined our marriage after that... Anyway, from then on out, I have hated her. And for the first year of DD's life she can't decide what she needs to be called. First it was "mawmaw" then it was "Mamaw" then it was "Grandmama" for some reason she thinks she needs to have "Mama" in her name? Uh, NO! I am MAMA! So now she has decided on "Mimi" she is lucky to even be called grandma because she is never around. And the only reason she thinks she needs a nickname is bc she has to keep up with the Jones's bc her sister's g-kids call her Nana. DD has started calling her Grammy, but she is still trying to get her to call her Mimi. I don't get why the woman can't be happy that my DD even knows who she is.
Has anyone else had the issue of grandparents thinking they need a certain name that you just hate? Did you put your foot down to the grandparent or just tell LO different?
**Edited to be a little nicer, I was in a tizzle earlier and should have re-read it before I posted. To anyone who I have offended, I apologize. Let me also add, this is not a normal inlaw "I hate her/them" thing. These people beat my husband down physically and mentally. I have ZERO respect for them. DH has, like, battered wife syndrome, except whatever it would be for the child, and won't just knock them out of his life.

Late deal keeps WICU, WSEE from being dropped from DirecTV
Lilly Broadcasting and DirecTV reached an eleventh-hour deal Monday that will keep WICU-TV and WSEE-TV, Erie's NBC and CBS affiliates, from being dropped by the satellite service, local officials said.
The deal was reached shortly before a 5 p.m. Monday deadline, when the current retransmission agreement between the two companies was set to expire.
The channels, along with WBEP-TV, Erie's CW affiliate, were going to be dropped from DirecTV due to a breakdown in contract negotiations. Thousands of viewers in Erie, Crawford and Warren counties who subscribe to DirecTV were going to be affected.
Lilly Broadcasting owns the three channels.
John Christianson, executive vice president for Lilly Broadcasting, said Monday that an agreement in principle was reached with the satellite service.
"Some details need to be finalized and ironed out," he added, declining to release specifics of the agreement. "It's a long-term, multiyear deal. We are excited that we will not be removed from their system and there will be no disruption of service to our viewers."
Christianson said DirecTV "reached out to us" Monday afternoon.
"We had some good dialogue, and we can now move forward," he said.
Lilly Broadcasting on Sunday and early Monday had informed viewers of the breakdown in contract negotiations in a crawl on the three channels.

Fatal occupational injuries among volunteer workers, 2003–07
December 30, 2010
Volunteer workers who were fatally injured on the job during the 2003–07 period were more likely to be either younger (under age 25) or older (over age 55) than paid workers who were fatally injured during the same 5-year period.
Among the 287 volunteer workers who were fatally injured on the job from 2003 to 2007, almost two-fifths (111) were 55 years of age or older, whereas about one-quarter of the paid workers killed on the job during the 2003–07 period were in that age group. These numbers may be explained by older workers' propensity to volunteer for more hours per year.
Individuals age 55 years and older make up 25 to 30 percent of all volunteers and spend more time performing volunteer activities than volunteers as a whole (all age groups combined). Volunteers in the 55- to 64-year age group spent 58 hours per year on volunteer activities, and those who were age 65 years and older spent 96 hours per year volunteering.
These data are from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI), which is part of the BLS Injuries, Illnesses, and Fatalities program. CFOI compiles a count of all fatal work injuries occurring in the United States during a given calendar year. Hours figures for volunteers are from the Current Population Survey. To learn more, see "Fatal Occupational Injuries to Volunteer Workers, 2003–07" in the December issue of Compensation and Working Conditions Online.

Mannheim Steamroller
Mannheim Steamroller's enduring popularity is as perplexing as it is disturbing. The brainchild of one Chip Davis, an Ohio native who eventually settled in Omaha, Nebraska, the Steamroller uses Davis's New Age deconstructions of Christmas carols to sound like Howard Jones whooping it up during a solemn midnight mass. Cheesy keyboards, hymnal organs and computerized rhythms bursting with dramatic Miami Vice atmospherics overwhelm the versions of "Deck the Halls," "We Three Kings" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" that annually flood malls, light-rock radio stations and my father's CD player. Yet digging deeper into these dated creations reveals that Davis possesses some actual indie cred. The cogs-and-wheels syncopation on Steamroller's "Little Drummer Boy" presages the tics and stutters of laptop electro, and "Good King Wenceslas" burbles with vaguely Kraut-rocklike beat blasts that a band like the Sea and Cake might construct. In fact, few recent Christmas songs have infiltrated the crackling voices of the World War II generation to become holiday classics as quickly -- or as easily -- as the 'Roller's glorious "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing."

Three Rivers Stadium, December 23, 1972. Forty-three degrees, overcast, and damp at kickoff. The Oakland Raiders, with a villainous reputation, dressed virtuously in white, except coach John Madden, who wore long sideburns, a black jacket, gray slacks, and black Adidas sneakers.
Here, for the Steelers' first home playoff game in a quarter century, was a panoramic view: $10 tickets scalped for $100; Raiders quarterback Daryle Lamonica, fighting a flu, hung in effigy in the crowd; Art Rooney Sr. (aka the Chief), his fat cigar already soggy from twisting in his saliva, telling sportswriters in the press box before the game that Pittsburgh fans suddenly thought he was a genius. Just three seasons old, Three Rivers Stadium was a cookie-cutter structure, formidable in its way, built for utility, its playing field covered with an artificial turf. To the Chief, who had spent too much time in too many rickety old stadiums, Three Rivers was like heaven, clean, spiffy, and modern, especially the plush Allegheny Club, where black waiters were heard to cheer for Franco Harris, "That a way, soul brother!" The deposed Forbes Field would stand for sixty years, Three Rivers for only half that long. In its time Three Rivers would host two World Series, concerts by Bruce Springsteen and the Rolling Stones, and crusades by Jehovah's Witnesses and Billy Graham, but it would be remembered, above all, for one moment, freakish and heroic, on this day.
Nearly three hours into this divisional playoff game, the Steelers' magnificent defensive performance and 6-0 lead dissolved with less than two minutes to play. The Raiders' backup quarterback, Ken Stabler, eluded the pass rush from the Pittsburgh 30-yard line, broke containment, and hobble-raced down the left side as the ghosts and goblins of Pittsburgh's past whispered, "Same Old Steelers! Same Old Steelers!" Greene and Greenwood were unable to catch Stabler from behind; neither could Ham nor reserve defensive tackle Craig Hanneman. Only safety Mike Wagner had an angle, but just as he put his mitts on Stabler, the quarterback lunged into the end zone for a touchdown.
On the Oakland sideline, receiver Cliff Branch sprang up in celebration, lifting his legs high and wide, kangaroo-like, once, twice, seven times. Madden pumped his meaty fist. The Raiders led, 7-6; the stadium clock read "1:13."
Seventy-three seconds.
Now came a moment that sports produces best: a communal experience that merges adrenaline and hope against logic and history to produce a civic rush in an economically depressed town. It would have a startling diversity, forever bonding in lore a black running back from Detroit claiming to be French royalty, a Jewish sportscaster with an Anglicized surname, two second-generation Italian Americans from East Liberty drinking Riunite wine and waving a corno to ward off the mallochio, and a biracial running back named Franco Harris whose Italian mother had escaped Hitler and now was at home in New Jersey, watching on television with his African-American father. Deflated by the Steelers' sudden deficit, Gina Parenti Harris stepped into her garden in Mount Holly and then came back inside. Asking for intercession for those who have waited so long, totally without hope, she put a record on her phonograph -- Beniamino Gigli's arresting "Ave Maria." A few hours later, in a downtown Pittsburgh bar, a Steeler zealot would stand atop a chair and call out to the Virgin Mary in his own memorable way.
No one felt it coming, not after three hurried Bradshaw incompletions had left the Steelers in supplication, down to a final chance: fourth-and-10 from the Pittsburgh 40 with 22 seconds to play. Even the Chief gave up. He left his upstairs box, bidding adieu to his priest and his driver, and stepped into the elevator, joined there by the part-time ball boy, Bill Nunn III, and others, their heads down, not a word spoken. At ground level, Nunn turned right, toward the field, the Chief to the left, toward the Steelers' locker room. There, he waited for the inevitable silence to fill his stadium, intending to tell his players, as he had so many times since 1933, that they had put up a good fight.
If only Bill Mazeroski were here ...
Mazeroski's home run in the bottom of the ninth inning that defeated the New York Yankees in Game 7 of the 1960 World Series at Forbes Field was the last sports event to send Pittsburgh into the purest form of euphoria. Steelers scout Bill Nunn Jr. saw that home run -- as a Pittsburgh Courier sportswriter he gave Clemente a ride to the airport from the clubhouse after that game -- and now he sat in a box upstairs with personnel director Art Rooney Jr., furious at the Steelers' defense for the breakdown that permitted Stabler's score.
Mazeroski's 17-year baseball career had ended in October and now he was 30 miles away, at home in Greensburg, listening to the Steelers on radio, like most of Pittsburgh, because this game was blacked out on local TV.
On the Oakland sideline, Madden gathered his offense, and receiver Mike Siani heard him say what he, and the other offensive players, already knew. "We will get the ball back," Madden said, "and run out the clock." His players had a secret nickname for Madden -- Pinky -- because when he erupted with anger, his face turned bright crimson. At this moment, Madden was serious, focused, white-faced.
Two Raider rookie linemen, Dave Dalby and John Vella, roommates, stood together farther back. Neither had played much, a few moments on special teams. Dalby said, "J.V., can you believe how much money we'll make from this game?" The answer, both knew, was $7,500. "And even if we lose the next game," Dalby said, "we'll get $15,000." That would nearly double their first-year salaries.
From the sideline, Noll sent in the play, "Sixty-six Circle Option," a pass play designed for rookie Barry Pearson, a receiver just inserted into the game and known for his fine hands. His job was to run a post pattern downfield, angling toward the middle, and get a first down and more, in hopes of setting up a game-winning field goal try by Roy Gerela. Bradshaw had completed just 10 of 24 passes, not good.
From the sideline, Ham could not watch. "I'm a realist," he said, and he began to cut the tape from his wrist, his back turned to the field. Bleier felt resigned to defeat, too. He thought, I can't watch the disaster that's about to take place. He didn't want the season to end. In case someone was watching him, Bleier walked from the sideline to a nearby table and reached for a Gatorade he didn't want. Joe Greene, an eternal optimist, stood nearby with cornerback John Rowser, and told him, "This season has been too good. It ain't gonna end this way."
In Section 29, near the Oakland 35-yard line, Tony Stagno, co-founder of the fan club Franco's Italian Army, waved his red pepper-like corno, putting a curse on the Raiders. Now, with fourth down calling for dire measures, he pulled out the little hunch-backed man carved from ivory, but it slipped through his fingers and fell to the ground. Al Vento, pizza man and fellow co-founder of the fan club, reached down to get it for him.
Michael Ord, a 33-year-old marketing consultant and Steeler zealot, sat in his usual seat near the 50-yard line, in the upper deck, close to the stadium's upper rim, nearest to God. He loved his view of the field from here, and the savory smell of a turkey or chicken cooking on a fan's small grill perched on the stadium's top ledge. Sometimes a cooked drumstick or thigh was passed to him. With his girlfriend, Sharon Levosky, and his father, Ord stood.
All eyes on Bradshaw.
The Raiders showed a four-man rush, though defensive tackle Art Thoms would become a "spy," holding his place, in containment, in case Bradshaw tried to run. Now Bradshaw scrambled to his right with the Raiders' massive linemen Horace Jones and Tony Cline in pursuit. Instinctively, Bradshaw stopped and pivoted, slipping Jones. He did not see Pearson, but downfield, near the Oakland 35-yard line, he spotted the Frenchman breaking into the clear.
His pass to Fuqua, a laser beam, was released just as Cline lowered his shoulder into him, knocking him to the ground. Bradshaw would not see what was about to happen.
Watching from the sideline, Steelers trainer Ralph Berlin said, "That's it. We're done," and he began to walk toward the end zone where he saw Tony Parisi, the equipment manager, carrying in the water buckets.
There was a celebrated Raiders style, swashbuckling rogues and head-hunters playing with a dark fury and recklessness. Safety Jack Tatum made that style his. One of the game's hardest hitters, Tatum was a feared tackler who threw forearm shivers and was known to his teammates as the Assassin. In a 1977 preseason game, Tatum would make a hit that paralyzed New England receiver Darryl Stingley from the chest down.
Now, as Bradshaw's pass came to Fuqua, so did Tatum, from behind. The Raider safety had three options: (1) attempt to deflect the pass; (2) tackle Fuqua near the Raiders' 35-yard line, leaving the Steelers with only a few seconds to try a long field goal; or (3) make like the defensive assassin he was and, as Raider linebacker Phil Villapiano would say, "Just knock the f----- out!"
True to character, Tatum chose the third option, throwing his shoulder violently into Fuqua's upper back, near his left shoulder.
"That's the way Jack played it and every one of us Raiders loved him for that," Villapiano said. "It was a perfectly clean hit. He overdid stuff a lot of times, and it was due to backfire."
Moving behind Tatum, cornerback Jimmy Warren raised his arms in celebration, but only for an instant.
Harris, a thinking player, the very trait some pro scouts had criticized, was called to block for Bradshaw on the play. Villapiano shadowed him, grabbing Harris' jersey. But when Bradshaw scrambled from the pocket, Harris reacted and moved downfield. At Penn State, Joe Paterno had implored his players, including Harris, "Go to the ball! Go to the ball!" Harris did just that now. Villapiano saw Bradshaw throw and thought, The coaches will grade this film. If I stand here, I'll get a minus. So he let Harris go and moved toward Fuqua when suddenly Tatum struck Fuqua from behind and the football whiplashed back over Villapiano's head. The linebacker's first thought: Oh, f---!
Near the stadium's upper rim, Ord's father, Barney, a postal supervisor, saw the pass deflected. He covered his face with his hands, a debacle revealed, and sat in his seat with a feeling of despair.
From the ground, Fuqua, knocked woozy, looked up and saw Tatum smile wickedly. Yet so violent was their collision, the ball fluttered more than seven yards in the other direction, toward the oncoming Harris, who bent forward and scooped it from the air, near his shin.
"If I had stayed with him," Villapiano lamented, "the ball would've come to me, because I was on the inside."
Now Harris broke to his left, a $30,000 running back carrying the hopes of steelworkers who, if still employed, made, on average, less than a third of that amount.
In Section 29, where Franco's Italian Army massed, Vento located the fallen hunchbacked man on the ground, beneath a seat, and handed it to Stagno. Then Vento looked to the field, stunned by what he saw.
Up in the press box, Dick Hoak, the Steelers' running backs coach, sitting with fellow assistant coaches Bud Carson and Babe Parilli, leaped onto a table and shouted, "Keep going, Franco! Keep going!"
Scout Tim Rooney sat in a different box with his cousin and boss, Art Jr., and Bill Nunn Jr., and when Harris made the catch, they all rose from their chairs. As Art Jr. stood, his chair's leg dug into cousin Tim's new Cordovans, mutilating the left one and gouging his toe.
Sitting in the stands with his wife, scout Dick Haley, who had expressed concerns about Harris in his scouting report a year earlier while noting "there is no doubt that he has great ability," saw his last point proven. "A phenomenal play by Harris," he decided, "to have the skill level to go down and catch that ball and keep running. A lot of guys would have gone to the ground to make the catch."
Greenwood, meanwhile, had been moving slowly along the Pittsburgh sideline toward the locker room, appreciative of the Steelers' season that was ending. When he heard the crowd roar, he half turned and saw Harris sprint past him at the 30-yard line, with the ball in his hand. It confused him.
Near the stadium's upper rim, Barney Ord, seated with his head in his hands, was confused by the roar, too. He smacked his son Michael in the side, stood up, and asked excitedly, "What's happening? What's happening?"
Only one Raider had a chance to stop Harris, Warren, who angled toward him near the 11-yard line. But Harris stiff-armed him, and Warren slipped from the back of Harris' moist jersey and crashed to the turf. Harris ran along the sideline, and just inside the pylon, to score a touchdown with five seconds to play. He casually dropped the ball in the end zone, as was his style, while dozens of fans leaped over the grandstand walls and rushed to slap him on the back.
Greene, his eternal optimism affirmed, ran along the sideline in pursuit of Harris and victory.
Bradshaw ran into the end zone, too, holding his head in disbelief, looking skyward, and accepting hugs from fans as if they were old friends, and imploring, "Somebody tell me: What happened?" Art Rooney II, Dan's twenty-year-old son, stood beside the Steelers' bench and tossed a water bottle in the air. It took about twenty minutes for that bottle to come down, or so it seemed. Just then, from out of the stands, the former Steelers defensive back Brady Keys appeared and bear-hugged the young Rooney, jumping up and down, and squeezing him so tight that Art II felt close to passing out.
In Section 29, Franco's Italian Army danced and kissed cheeks, convinced of the power of their hunchbacked man. Near the stadium's upper rim, Michael Ord answered his father's question, saying, "Franco caught it!" And then, moments later, as he crossed the goal line: "Thank God!" And then speaking for all of Pittsburgh: "Finally!"

users of iOS 7 have been reporting a bug where the home screen randomly
crashes, and for them, Apple said that a new version of the OS
(presumably iOS 7.1 which in beta is being seeded to developers), will
feature a fix for the issue. "We have a fix in an upcoming software
update for a bug that can occasionally cause a home screen crash."
Apple spokesperson made the statement to Mashable. The problem has been
reported by users across the rank and file of the Apple diaspora. The
bug causes random reboots of the screen, and depending on the colour of
the iPhone, the home screen crashes and goes either white or goes
completely black. iPhones running the iOS version 7 are susceptible to
the crashes. Some phones have been reported to be affected if the
battery percentage falls below 30.
Currently, Apple is testing the
iOS 7.1 beta 4 version. It is rumoured to be released in March. The new
version might include, according to speculations, a bolder text frame,
darker background theme for the keyboard and help fix issues related to
the memory and also the random reboots.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. She was from an assassin guild of her tribe in the realm of Manicore. During the events of The Odyssey Lady Death visited their world and was asked to battle with Agony, a fallen angel, who had taken over their jungle and transformed it into a frozen wasteland. Pandemonium fought side-by-side with Lady Death and defeated Agony but Lady Death was teleported away. Now the tribe again controlled their destiny and selected Pandemonium to be their protector. She went through many challenges and prevailed them all. Now she is gifted with powers of mother earth. Asteroth came to their world looking for Lady Death; Pandemonium fought him. Fortunately he sensed that his target wasn't on their planet no longer and left, only destroying the shrine of Lady Death. Some of the Agony loyalists attacked their tribe and Pandemonium's job was to fight them. One time she was stabbed with a poisonous dagger and she died. Soulain, the living spirit of their planet sent her to Earth. She met with group of humans who were in war with Naktu, a tribe of primitive people hidden in the jungle. She got into a fight with the humans when she tried to protect the Naktu and was knocked unconscious. When she came around she was greeted by a man named Lou, who aided the Naktu in defending themselves. Somehow Pandemonium knew the language of Naktu and that surprised Lou, he lead her to an old tablet and asked her to translate it. She translated bits of the text but was distracted by gunshots. She ran outside and found a rhino shot down and her horn stolen. Pandemonium mended with the earth and learned how humans ravish and destroy Africa. She also learned that she is the descendant of Naktu, and she is a chosen one to save Africa. She attacked to humans' camp and orders them to leave. They then tell that Lou was their leader and helped the Naktu to only gain access to their ancient power. She hurried back to the Naktu and found half of them slaughtered by Lou who now had become Epitaph, power opposite of life force. Pandemonium fought Epitaph and was victorious this time; Epitaph takes his leave, but promised to return. Pandemonium was reunited with the Naktu tribe and her journey to protect this new land is just beginning.

No federal aid means hard work for summer jobs push
The last time Erie officials pressed for a revamped program of summer jobs for youth, the impetus came from 2,500 miles away.
Joyce Savocchio was Erie's mayor, Judy Lynch was Erie County executive, and they grew anxious as they looked west. Rioters furious over the acquittal of police officers in the Rodney King beating trial had set Los Angeles ablaze in late April and early May 1992.
Savocchio and Lynch by mid-May had mailed more than 300 letters to local businesses and industries. They urged them to hire as many as 1,000 low-income minority youth that summer. They lobbied for the jobs with what was known as the nonpartisan United Brothers and Sisters of Erie, made up of political, business, religious and civic leaders.
"Working together, we can make a difference in the lives of many underprivileged, minority youth in our community and help ensure that the discontent most recently displayed in Los Angeles has less of a breeding ground in Erie," Savocchio and Lynch wrote.
Twenty-two years later, Los Angeles isn't on fire, but Erie is churning -- with shootings, robberies and other violent crimes creating a sense of distress not unlike the anxiety that Savocchio and Lynch tried to address.
Now, as then, the biggest obstacle to creating jobs is money.
Erie County Executive Kathy Dahlkemper, who is leading the push for a summer jobs program, discovered that quickly.
She got $100,000 each from Erie County Council and the Erie County Gaming Revenue Authority, but came up empty at City Hall. Mayor Joe Sinnott cited a decline in federal funding, particularly for the federal Community Development Block Grant program.
Whether you agree or disagree with Sinnott's stance, or even whether you agree or disagree that public money should help create jobs for young adults, the struggle to pay for a new program is yet another example of what Savocchio, in an interview the other day, called "a slow devolution" -- the steady decline of federal funding for cities.
"Should we have summer jobs? Absolutely," said Savocchio, who was mayor from 1990 through 2001. "It all boils down to money."
The money and the jobs used to be plentiful -- too plentiful, some might argue. This was especially the case during the 24-year tenure of the mayor Savocchio succeeded: Lou Tullio, who ruled City Hall during the Great Society of the 1960s and during the 1970s, when Congress still poured money into cities to fight poverty.
Government-funded jobs for youth originated with the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression, but a Republican president, Richard Nixon, modernized the system in 1973, with the Comprehensive Employment Training Act, or CETA.
At Erie's Parks Department and at City Hall, the summer jobs were everywhere.
"We had kids bumping into each other," said City Clerk Jim Klemm, who is retiring July 11 after 48 years at City Hall.
The funding, as Savocchio said, soon "just dried up." The tightening first came under President Ronald Reagan's Job Training Partnership Act of 1982, and then under President Bill Clinton's Workforce Investment Act of 1998.
Both laws emphasized job training rather than job creation. They gutted the summer jobs program, said Pat Bruno, the city's director of job training development under Tullio and Savocchio.
"It turns my stomach," Bruno said. "Because I remember how it used to be in comparison to how it is now."
Savocchio and Lynch tried to battle the cuts with their appeal for 1,000 jobs in 1992. Organizers soon scaled back that goal to 100.
That is the same number of jobs that Kathy Dahlkemper, facing a restless city and even more funding constraints than her predecessors, wants to create in the summer of 2014.
