STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- While rain and flood warnings are in the forecast for Wednesday through Friday, the question in the minds of many Staten Islanders is: Will the skies clear in time for major events including the Macy's fireworks and the Travis 4th of July Parade?
Tropical storm Arthur, which now is swirling about a hundred miles east Florida, looks to be passing to the east of Staten Island on Friday night or first thing Saturday morning, said Paul Walker, a senior meteorologist for AccuWeather.com.
"That's what makes it tricky about skies clearing in terms of the fireworks," Walker said. "We don't know if the clouds will have broken yet. How soon the rain ends is in question. It could be the middle of the afternoon, but maybe it won't be until nighttime."
The best case scenario is that at least some of the parade that steps off at 12:30 p.m. will be under sunny skies.
Flash flooding could occur as early as Wednesday afternoon because of thunderstorms and high winds that are expected to batter the borough through Friday as a cold front moves through Staten Island and possibly mixes with tropical moisture from Arthur, according to the National Weather Service.
The tropical storm that has maximum winds of 60 miles per hour is expected to become a hurricane by Thursday and, hopefully, take a sharp northeast turn on Friday away from the New Jersey Shore and Staten Island, according to projections on the Weather Channel.
Most of the rain on Staten Island from Wednesday through Friday is expected to be caused by a cold front moving in from the Ohio Valley. If Arthur moves slowly up the coast, that could stall the cold front from moving out over the ocean and ushering in dry air behind it.
The latest predictions indicate that Arthur will pass far enough to the east of Staten Island so that the main impacts here will be rough surf and rip currents, rather than wind and rain, Walker said.

Keeper fluke are showing in the channels, and some nice-sized weakfish are around. The artificial reefs are producing sea bass and porgies, and snappers and porgies are around to keep the kids busy. Crabbing is good. Offshore school sized bluefin are showing.
Dino at Michael's Bait and Tackle, Great Kills, says some nice-sized keeper fluke are being caught in Ambrose Channel and a decent number of cocktail blues are showing locally.
Bluefin tuna are showing offshore, and the wrecks outside of Sandy Hook are producing sea bass. Weakfish to 9 pounds are showing in the channels, and some small porgies are showing. Crabbing is fair.
From Paul at Great Kills Bait and Tackle we learn lots of fluke are showing with deep waters producing the most keepers. Porgies are showing on the rock piles, and weakfish are showing under the Verrazano Bridge with worms and bucktails producing good action. Cocktail blues are showing along the beaches during the day, and blues to 12-pounds are showing at night. Crabbing is OK.
Vito at Biggie's Bait and Tackle, Tottenville, reports the action has picked up with fluke and blues chasing bait off of Tottenville. Snappers and porgies are showing off the piers, and crabbing is great. Offshore the canyons are producing good tilefish action.
Phyllis at Aunt Phyllis' Bait Shop, Midland Beach, reports the Ocean Breeze Fishing Pier and beaches are producing fluke to 19-inches, 9 and 10-inch porgies, snappers and an occasional bluefish. Crabbing is good.
From Patty at Scags Bait and Tackle, Snug Harbor, we learn the St. George Fishing Pier is producing small porgies, cocktail blues, lots of 16 to 19-inch fluke and a few keepers. Bass and blues are showing along the Terrace at night, and crabbing is good. On the fresh water scene bass are showing at Silver Lake and carp and catfish are showing at Clove Lake.
From Captain Anthony Belasario of Barbara Anne Fishing Charters we learn fluke fishing has been good with fares landing fish to 7-pounds last week. Bottom fishing remains steady with anglers landing decent numbers of sea bass. Barbara Ann sails daily, and as an open-boat Tuesday and Thursday afternoon.
Captain Mike Romeo of the Great Kills Harbor based Atlantis Princess says fishing has been good with fluke trips producing lots of short fluke and good numbers of keepers. The night bass trips have been producing a good number of keepers, and the sea bass trips have been producing mixed bag catches of sea bass and fluke. The boats schedule can be seen at www.atlantisprincess.com.
Captain Kevin Bradshaw of the Atlantic Highlands based Dorothy B reports fluking has been fair with some anglers going home with a meal or two and some not.

PHILADELPHIA – The blueprint for a successful power play hasn't changed during Daniel Alfredsson's 18 NHL seasons.
"For any successful power play, as long as I've been in the league, you always come back to the same thing -- shoot the puck and get people in front," Alfredsson said. "We got to find a way to get some more pucks to the net and give this team some momentum."
The power play provided no momentum for the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday; instead, it seemed to drain the life out of them. The Red Wings went 0-for-4 and registered only three shots in eight minutes with the extra man in a 5-0 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers at the Wells Fargo Center.
The Red Wings had plenty of issues on this night. Converting once or twice on the power play might not have made a difference in the outcome. But it would have at least boosted their confidence in an area in which they have struggled this month, going 4-for-50 (eight percent) in 12 games.
"We have to find a way," Niklas Kronwall said. "We just have to get more pucks to the net; it's as simple as that. We got to forget about all the 'Go here, go there, whatever,' get some more pucks to the net.
"I know we've been talking about it. I said it before, enough talking, we got to go out there and actually do it on the ice."
Kronwall said it doesn't matter that key pieces are missing due to injuries (Pavel Datsyuk, Henrik Zetterberg, Johan Franzen).
"It gives other people and opportunity and we haven't been taking advantage of that opportunity," Kronwall said.
Their power play late in the first period best illustrated their problem. They had a four-on-three advantage for 1:16. They had a lot of open ice and controlled the puck in the offensive zone during most of the man-advantage. But it was wasted because they continually passed it around seeking a perfect shot.
"When you never look at the net, when you just stick-handle and pass it around on the outside, not much is going on," coach Mike Babcock said. "When that's your skill set pretty soon you're not on the power play."
Said Alfredsson: "At times we did a bad job of setting up; that's been an issue a couple of times the last few games."
The Red Wings' power play ranked among the NHL's top 10 in late December. One month later, it's 22nd (16.2 percent).
"Especially on the road, special teams becomes more important," Alfredsson said. "I think it's tough five-on-five because the other team has the matchup advantage (last change)."
Babcock said they need to focus on the power play in practice this week and get "dialed in."
Injuries have forced them to use some young players (Riley Sheahan, Tomas Jurco, Joakim Andersson) who ordinarily wouldn't be on the power play at this point in their NHL career. That doesn't excuse them from not executing properly.
"I don't care where they're from or where they played before or how many minutes, you can do things right; it doesn't matter if you're a kid or not," Babcock said.

Cinematic narrative doesn't get any simpler than that, and Scott wisely keeps the premise pure, ratcheting up the tension and raising the emotional stakes without cluttering up the story's sleek lines. A young, inexperienced railroad conductor named Will (Chris Pine) is on his first shift with veteran train operator Frank (Denzel Washington) on the same day that a train carrying tons of hazardous materials has been sent hurtling down its tracks without a conductor or functioning brakes. With the help of a coolheaded train executive named Connie (Rosario Dawson), who keeps in near constant contact with the men, Will and Frank narrowly escape colliding with what she calls "a missile the size of the Chrysler Building." Out of harm's way, their next priority is to chase the errant locomotive down and stop it before it hits a dangerous S-curve and crashes in the middle of a busy Pennsylvania city.
As he did with his last movie, "The Taking of Pelham 123," Scott proves a master of action with "Unstoppable," which sustains a nicely simmering level of suspense and physical peril without succumbing to bombast or deafening overkill. This might be the quietest action movie ever made, and that observation is meant as a compliment: The audience can actually hear what the characters are saying, which in the case of Will and Frank at first mostly consists of the grizzled vet hazing the babyfaced newbie, then gives way to more soulful conversation about family and girl troubles. Washington and Pine quickly generate a bantering, easy rapport as lilting as the train they're on; if "Unstoppable" occasionally threatens to become the Battle of the Blinding White Smiles, those moments offer welcome warmth and improbable humor in what would otherwise be a technically adroit but emotionally cold exercise.
In Scott's capable hands, though, even the machines take on biomorphic qualities: He gives the runaway train its own moaning, menacing "voice" that makes it a character in its own right, like Thomas the Tank Engine crossed with Bruce the Shark. "Unstoppable" was inspired by a similar real-life case in Ohio in 2001, but Scott throws in plenty of extra cliffhangers, among them a separate train filled with field-tripping school kids and a horse trailer bestriding the tracks just as the titular train is about to barrel through.
While Will and Frank try to avoid being, as Frank says, "a wreck on a wreck," Connie is trying to outmaneuver her corporate bosses, whose concerns lie less with public safety or their employees' well-being than with their stock devaluations. A subtext of corporate greed, Rust Belt despair and common-man integrity rumbles alongside the movie's action, lending a sharp pang of timeliness to the adrenaline-pumping escapism. From the story itself to the way it's told, "Unstoppable" is a hymn to stylish, unpretentious competence.

International talent to join the Green Wave program as a freshman for the 2009-10 season
NEW ORLEANS - Fresh off an impressive inaugural campaign at the helm of the resurgent Tulane University women's tennis team, head coach Terri Sisk announced the addition of international standout Emma Helisten for the 2009-10 season.
A native of Helsinki, Finland, and a 2009 graduate of the Swedish Tennis Academy in Båstad, Sweden, Helisten signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the Green Wave following a stellar Juniors career which included trips to the Junior Olympics in 2005, the ITF (International Tennis Federation) Yucatan World Cup and ITF International Casablanca Junior Cup in 2006, and the Copa del Cafe in 2007, as well as a stint on the 2007 Finnish Fed Cup.
"We are thrilled to have Emma join our Tulane family," Sisk said. "She exemplifies all the characteristics I look for in a student-athlete: solid academics, great character, a hard worker and a great tennis player with goals. Her vast international experience will help tremendously with adding the depth we need in our line up to take us to the next level. She will make an immediate impact in both singles and doubles. She is a great addition to our young Green Wave team."
Helisten sat as high as No. 287 in the IFT rankings, ranked in the Top 100 among European females under 16 and ranked first in Finland in the 12, 14 and 16 age groups. After moving to Sweden at age 16, she was accepted to the highly-respected Swedish Tennis Academy, an elite high school for the best tennis players in the country aged 16-22.
In her native Finland, Helisten singles slate includes trips to the national championship for girls 12-, 14-, 16-, and 18-and-under , the Junior Grand Prix Masters Championship in 2002, and the BMW Cup inter-scholar championships for elementary and lower secondary students.
In doubles play, she participated in the Finnish National Championships in every age group and ITF tournaments in Montenegro, Turkey and Sweden. In addition, Helisten played in the Division I Båstad Malens Tennissällskap and in the Sata-Tennis Finland as part of the Finnish Junior Championship League.
Helisten is one of two incoming freshmen to join the Tulane women's tennis program next season, joining Emma Levy of Princeton Junction, N.J., who signed during the NCAA's Early Signing Period back in December.
The freshman duo will join a Tulane team which is slated to return all eight lettermen from the 2008-09 team which finished its first season back on the court 12-12 on the year and 3-4 in Conference USA play.

Marché Brocante: Every Saturday
Every Saturday, in a large open space near the city hall, below Plane trees, the flea market of Cannes gathers. If you happen to be in Cannes on a weekend, then stopping by may be well worth your time if you like antiques. Surprisingly, there are very good quality pieces and some good bargains. The sellers gather here from all corners of the south of France and given that many wealthy tourists visit Cannes in the summer, the dealers probably do good business.

L'Atelier de Jean-Luc Pelé: Delicious macaroons
I'm not a fan of macarrons, but I know someone who used to work here and one time she brought us some of their macarrons. I had the chocolate one and it was delicious!!!! I will definitely go there someday to buy some.
UPDATE: I've finally gone to their newest shop on Rue d'Antibes. Gluttony is a sin, so the desserts were a bit pricey, but they were soooooooooo good.
The great thing about this place is that they leave a few dessert samples (macaroons, chocolate, etc) near the cash register (at the end of the shop).
What to buy: Macaroons.
What to pay: I bought 4 and paid a little less than 6 €. My friend bought 2 for 3,51 €.

Rue d'Antibes: Great Shopping in Cannes
La rue d'Antibes is a long narrow street in Cannes, running from the Hôtel de Ville eastwards, parallel to la Croisette only a few blocks away from the beach. Most of the shopping in Cannes centres around rue d'Antibes and its adjacent streets, offering everything from expensive goods to tourist souvenirs. It is one of the best shopping streets in the whole of the Côte d'Azur, probably even better than Nice. A good day could be spent walking along la rue d'Antibes from one shop to the other. In the peak summer months, crowds of people fill the street especially in the late afternoon. However, on a typical Sunday, even in mid-summer, rue d'Antibes is deserted as all the shops are closed (see photo).
Address: rue d'Antibes - 06400 Cannes

Z.I. (Industrial Zone) Les Tourrades: Shopping cheaper in Cannes... a possible activity!
For travelers that year after year, confine themselves in the center of the visited area, right where the touristic businesses want them, it might seem impossible to find bargains in Cannes. I was never a simple shopper... "just hit the streets" is far from my shopping motto. I search and dig and scratch and always find a way to buy cheaper, very far from the souvenir shops that charge 3 times the price for something made in China. In Cannes you will find a marvelous industrial zone (ZI) called "Les Tourrades", obviously it is far from the tourists site, close to highways, McDonald's, mechanic shops and everything unpretty. But for bargains, deals and good shopping you will not find better: lots of outlets, similar to flea markets style stores and just large surfaces to which, we North Americans might be more used to. I found great carpets, dishes, clothes and gifts for really great prices (actually did all shopping other than food, in that area). There is no members association to this place so no specific web site, the only detail I can give you is that Cannes' buses go there ...have a good time shopping! and don't forget that this shopping area is closed right after lunch time, just as most other stores... for the afternoon "sieste".
What to buy: Everything from clothes, kitchen accessories, decorative items, jewelry, shoes and much more... as you will find outlets of all kinds of specialty.
What to pay: from 1Euro items to expensive jewelry and such.
Address: Z.I. - Les Tourrades off the highway...
Directions: From any departure point, Azur buses no. 02, 17 and 620 (towards Grasse and not your best bet because not as frequent) all have a stop at "Les Tourrades" Z.I.Related to:

Cannes is heaven for shopaholics ! :o)
Rue d'Antibes:
renowned for its international designer boutiques and world-class shopping.
The rue Meynadier:
restricted to pedestrian traffic only, runs near the rue d'Antibes and has excellent shops and boutiques of every kind. It is also less expensive, with many more trendy shops that open on to the street.
Marché Forville
is the covered produce market in Cannes. It is a lively, colourful, a very noisy French affair taking up an entire city block. Stalls sell vegetables, fruit, fish, oysters, every conceivable variety of paté and olives marinated in a thousand flavours. The flower market lies at the western end of the covered area. On a Monday, Forville transforms itself into a Flea Market (Marché Brocante).
Address: Rue d'Antibes , Rue Meynadier
Directions: In the city center (centre ville) by walking along the famous rue d'Antibes.
The rue Meynadier, restricted to pedestrian traffic only, runs near the rue d'Antibes.

Shops on La croisette: Dream....
Even if you can't afford to buy anything, it's always a wonder to have a look at the shop windows on La croisette (near the festival palace). The most famous brands have shops there and it's worth a look.
Grey Street arcade and La Croisette: Designer Hell
The Grey Street "Shopping Mall" crossing between La Croisette and Rue d'Antibes crams many illustrious labels under one roof. "How handy", I hear you say.
Shops that line the Croisette feature every top name of the fashion label world. Lacroix, Chanel, Valentino. £300 for a T-shirt with one sleeve longer than the other ("dahhling that's fashion !") , £700 for a pink leather microskirt ("dahhling that's fashion !"). £1,200 for a bag ("How reasonable! Do they deliver?") See you in Hello or Heat next week..
Just the place for the stars to "pop in" for a little something original to wear to a party, probably worn only once. Attentive service and outrageous prices. You need to dress up just to go inside.
What to buy: Designer gear - but wait for the Sales mid January to late February . 50 - 70% off reduces absurd prices to merely excessive

Marche Forville: Fabulous quality at untypical Cannes prices
You get so blase about Cannes high prices it almost comes as a shock when you find not only are you not being ripped off, but offered fantastic food choice and quality at very low prices - low even for France.
No designer bananas or haute couture haricots here. Just fresh fruit and vegetable bursting with flavour.
What to buy: Back home in our supermarkets, everything has been freighted and chilled in a distribution warehouse for months, and long since lost what little flavour it had. Here you can buy clementines fresh from Corsica, and of course the French are very fussy about their apples. Grapes have stunning flavour also fresh picked from Corsica or Provence. Oh and just about anything else you can think of, including exotic fruits flown in from former French colonies like Martinique. The French were smart about where their Empire stretched!
Tip: the French understand garlic. And how. They grow the very very best garlic, and the variety "Rose de Lautrec", which is not only the most pungent but has longest lasting quality. So you will feel better that it costs twice as much as ordinary garlic . Consider taking a tress home with you, and cook a la Francaise for the next week.
What to pay: 12 Euro for a tress of Rose de Lautrec.

Rue d'Antibes: Furs still in fashion - but only in France
In the late 80's the billboard poster read something like "It takes over forty dumb animals to make a fur coat. It takes only one to wear one"
Teenage girls would throw red paint over anyone daring to wear animal fur in the street. Fashion models were hissed on the catwalk for wearing animal fur. Furriers shops were burned to the ground.
Strangely all this seems to have passed France by. Fur is elegant. Its warm. It's classic and good for a lifetime of Winters. And they don't care if you don't like it.: "dumb animals are for eating, nor worshiping" Nothing sentimental about furry animals here - they reseve that for their little dogs.
Now there's a thought. I wonder how a Chihuahua stole or hat would go down?
What to buy: A fur coat. Probably one of the few places in the world that still sell the real things. And people buy and wear them!
What to pay: Ooooodles
Address: Rue d'Antibes
Place Allee des Armees - brocante
A short walk along the Croisette from the Palais des Festivals brings you to the Alee des Armees, where a weekend open market pitches up between the plane trees.
What to buy: Browse a while for antiques, collectibles and craft offerings
Anywhere Off the Croisette: You *can* find deals in Cannes
Get away from the Croisette or the Rue d'Antibes. The street where the train station is located is loaded with small grocery stores and other necessities. What a difference a few blocks make - the prices are reasonable.
Also, cross the freeway, get away from the Croisette craziness and you'll be among locals - and more stores with decent prices.
I found that if you're willing to do some searching, you can find deals even on souvenirs. Rather than shop on the Croisette, just turn the corner and shop on a side street. Or rather than pay for expensive, official Cannes Film Festival items, buy something from the Tourism Office at the Palais - they're just as "official" but cheaper and no one back home will know the difference between a "Palais" souvenir and one specific to the festival.
What to buy: I especially recommend the inflatable cell phone protectors from the Tourism office at the Palais. Cheap at 1 euro each. And they're such a novelty that they're probably the most unique souvenir you'll ever give.
What to pay: About average if you get away from the tourist traps.

According to the American Heart Association, sugar-sweetened beverages are the number one single source of calories in the American diet and account for about half of all added sugars that people consume. Does that make you want to reach for the H20?
Reaching for a Red Bull, Coca-Cola or fruit juice may also cause dehydration. If you are consuming most of your liquids through sugary drinks, you're most likely not drinking enough water. Not to mention, they lack any form of nutrition.
Drinking too much sugar is just as bad as eating too many sweets. Although it may seem worse to eat a cupcake than reach for a soda, the latter may be contributing more to your weight gain.
Drinks with added sugar to stay away from are: sodas, energy drinks, sports drinks, fruit drinks and sweetened bottled waters. Best drink to guzzle often: water! If you feel the need to sip something sweet, I advise you to consume no more than 36 ounces or about 450 calories from sugary beverages a week. Cheers!

Welcome to the Vim Tips wiki! We hope you can help improve the articles by fixing typos, adding comments (at the bottom of each tip page), rewriting tips, joining in discussions, or making other improvements.

Keep an eye on recent changes to check progress.
Our policy guidelines may be useful. We'd like you to join the very low-volume mailing list.
Hi Josephholsten, welcome to the Vim Tips wiki! Thanks for your edit to the C like comment for PHP page. It's always great to see new contributors. This is an automated message; somebody may drop a message for you here in the next day or two with any comments or suggestions, but until then keep up the good work, and don't be afraid to be bold!
Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything. -- JohnBeckett (Talk) 09:30, 18 May 2009
Hi again. This time it's the real me (the above welcome was created by an automated Wikia process).
Thanks for your work. It's about time I did some more housekeeping myself. If you don't mind I would like to let you know about some of our habits here, which can differ from Wikipedia (it's good to see an experienced editor!).
In VimTip1091 you put a 'see also'. Very good. However, I suggest you don't bother merging 'See also' with 'References' because there is a possibility that a tip would be expanded in the future (with several 'see also' and 'references'). Our convention is to put help links under 'References'. Please don't reverse what you've done (unless you really want to). I'm just mentioning how we have sort-of organised many tips.
You might bear in mind that we imported 1200 tips from vim.org, and they were in a terrible mess. Many still are in a mess and probably are not worth saving. Taking VimTip1091, you might come to the opinion that it's not worth editing the tip at all because it will be merged to Folding. My suggestion is to not clean up junk (whereas on Wikipedia, one might put quite a bit of effort into saving a junk article) – only edit articles that look like they will remain as separate tips.
Possibly you have found the guideline suggesting that we avoid talk pages. The comment you put at the bottom of C like comment for PHP (flagged for deletion) is perfect, and we don't need the talk page.
In VimTip797 you have correctly used <code>, but we like <tt> here because it's needed a lot, and tt is easier to type, and it makes the wikitext quite a bit easier to read while editing. All our tips use tt, not code.
Sorry for all the noise I've written, and welcome again! If you have any questions, you might like to reply here or on my talk page. JohnBeckett 12:28, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

CHICAGO — Like a grown man cramming for a pop quiz, Mets general manager Sandy Alderson scanned the pages of Sports Illustrated before a radio interview this afternoon. His reading served a specific purpose: to see how the published comments from CEO Fred Wilpon about future payroll measured against what Alderson understood to be true before his team's recent public relations blitz began.
The answer is somewhere in the middle for Alderson. Before tonight's game against the Cubs, he insisted that the $145 million payroll would not dip below $100 million, as was inferred from Wilpon's interview with SI's Tom Verducci. Alderson stuck with his contention that Wilpon was never specifically quoted as saying the payroll would sink that low.
"I would expect our payroll," Alderson said, "to be somewhere above that number and somewhat below where we are now."
The day before, Alderson arrived at Wrigley Field tasked with ensuring the egos of his players were not too badly bruised by Wilpon's comments in the New Yorker. Today, he dealt with issues more pressing to his position — the amount of money he will be allotted to rebuild this shipwrecked franchise.
That future payroll depends on a variety of factors, Alderson said, including the potential cash infusion caused by a new minority partner. Still, he expected to know by either July or August how much money was at his disposal. That way, he would have a better understanding of how to deal with soon-to-be free agents like outfielder Carlos Beltran and shortstop Jose Reyes.
Because a major-league payroll is so complex, Alderson indicated he had already had "numerous conversations" with COO Jeff Wilpon. They had established, he believed, a working guideline going forward.
"In light of all of that, I was a little surprised by the ($100 million) number," Alderson said. "But, again, Fred was not quoted."
Alderson downplayed much of the doomsday drawn from the latest article — which received attention one day after Wilpon criticized his team in another magazine. But he admitted he had not discussed with Wilpon a scenario in which the owner lost his majority stake in the team. He understands that the team is, in Wilpon's words, "bleeding cash."
"I've said that the financial situation is somewhat more challenging than I had originally anticipated," Alderson said. "I didn't expect this to be an easy task.
"At this point, I've said a number of times that none of these financial issues has affected any of the decisions that we've made. Now, whether that will happen, whether that effect will occur down the road, we'll see."
Until then, Alderson will not deviate from his intentions. He believes he will have the ability to spend over-slot in the upcoming draft. He expects to be more active in the free-agent market this coming winter, although he laughed when he considered the possibility: "We weren't aggressive at all this past offseason," he said. "Let's face it."
But the team's targets cannot be chosen until they decide what to do with Reyes. Beltran will almost assuredly not return. But the team remains interested in Reyes, their three-time All-Star shortstop.
Alderson indicated he would "touch base" with Reyes' representatives during the summer, so they could established a basic understanding as a prelude to negotiating. Still, he repeated that if the team made a playoff push, he could still deal both players.
The future is murky. But at least Alderson maintains a sense of humor.
"If the world had ended on Saturday, the way it was supposed to," he quipped, "we wouldn't have to deal with these things."

Cross stolen from Mercer Island church is more than just a symbol
When I hear about a family losing their home to a fire, my heart goes out to them. Even though they all made it out OK, and we know thats the most important thing, they have lost all their belongings, and that must be hard! Its not necessarily the expensive stuff or even the practical necessities, but the items of emotional value, mostly irreplaceable, such as family photographs and gifts from loved ones who have long since died. The loss of these belongings would hurt the most. What would you miss most?
Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, my workplace for the last five years, has suffered such a loss. No, there wasnt a fire, flood or explosion. Life and worship will go on, but someone took objects that are important to us: meaningful symbols in our Sunday services. During the week between Sunday, July 27, and the early morning of Aug. 3, an intruder took our processional cross, as well as the pastors own vestment (albs) and two stoles, out of our worship space. Pastors usually dress in these garments during worship or rites such as weddings, funerals or baptisms, and these garments are visible symbols of the office and its authority. The processional cross (top part pictured at right) is about seven feet tall and is normally carried forward through the sanctuary at the beginning of worship. It is placed in a wooden stand at the front of the church, next to the pulpit. This particular cross was custom-made for Holy Trinity in 2002. It was a special gift from the late Herman Kelsch, a very active congregation member, in memory of his beloved wife, Gerry. It is of great emotional significance to many congregation members, and we are still hoping that it may be returned to the church.
A lot of thought and work went into the making of the cross, a true labor of love. A very dedicated and talented church member had been asked to make sketches of a wood and metal cross with a wheat-motif before settling on the chosen design. She wrote, The inspiration for the cross began with singing the hymn, As the grains of wheat ; remembering the wheat fields that were first American homes to many of our Scandinavian ancestors; and the Bread of Life, a term for communion.
The final product was the collaborative effort of five different artists. Laura Yeats, a professional woodworker and head of the team, matched the existing sanctuary wood color, and two metal artists created the delicate brass inlay. The center medallion was laser cut by a third metal artist and the circular accents on the staff turned on the lathe by another woodworker. The cross was dedicated to the church on Feb. 16, 2003, and has occupied its space in the church sanctuary ever since until last Sunday.
As I have become very attached to this community of faith and its giving, good people, this loss affects me, too, mostly because I have a hard time understanding why someone would do such a thing. If it was some kind of prank or dare, its not too late to return the items no questions asked! You can contact the church office at (206) 232-3270, or leave us a note. We would be so grateful! If anyone has seen or heard anything that could help us recover the cross and the vestments, please let us know.
Kirsten Olshausen is the secretary at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.

Women and Pregnant Moms Need Annual Flu Shot Themselves
Influenza, pertussis (whooping cough), and measles are just a few of the infectious diseases still plaguing babies and adults in parts of the United States today. But fortunately, these are preventable by vaccines, the March of Dimes says, as it celebrates its 75th anniversary this year and its ongoing work to help all babies get a healthy start in life. More than 4 million babies were born last year in the United States and the March of Dimes has helped each and every one of them through research, education, vaccines, and breakthroughs.
"Immunizations are as important today as they were in the 1950s when the March of Dimes delivered the first vaccines against polio" said Dr. Jennifer L. Howse, president of the March of Dimes. "Back-to-school season is a perfect time to make sure that immunization records are up to date and the health of children is protected."
The March of Dimes, along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and eight other agencies, urges all pregnant women to get their annual flu shot in the fall. The normal biological changes of pregnancy put pregnant women at increased risk of the harmful effects of flu infection. Recent research suggests that the flu vaccine may also lower a woman's risk of having a stillbirth or miscarriage.
Celebrating 75 Years of Life-Saving Vaccines
The March of Dimes was founded in 1938 by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to combat polio, an epidemic disease that paralyzed or killed up to 52,000 Americans, mostly children, every year. The March of Dimes fulfilled President Roosevelt's dream of a nation free of this fearful disease by funding the development of the first safe and effective polio vaccines by Dr. Jonas Salk (1955) and Dr. Albert Sabin (1962).
Following the successful development of the polio vaccines, the March of Dimes supported many other important immunization campaigns. For example, in 1969-1970, Dr. Virginia Apgar worked with the March of Dimes to lead a national immunization program against rubella (German measles), which can cause a range of serious birth defects if contracted during pregnancy. The campaign was so successful that there has not been a case of congenital rubella syndrome in the U.S. in more than 30 years.
Today, the March of Dimes and Sanofi-Pasteur are partners in the "Sounds of Pertussis" campaign urging parents, grandparents, other relatives and caregivers to get a booster shot for pertussis, a highly contagious and potentially fatal disease in babies, so they won't unknowingly infect the newborns in their lives. The pertussis vaccine is reported to have saved more than a half a million lives in 2002 alone.
As always, the March of Dimes encourages parents to ensure that their children get all their vaccinations on schedule. More information is available from the March of Dimes web site.
According to the Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Immunization, the most recent rates (2009 – 2011) indicate that statewide immunization levels in kindergarten-age children were at 91.7 percent. This figure includes all 67 Florida counties, with the lowest level being that of Miami-Dade county (73,625 immunizations, 83.5 percent), and the highest Jefferson county (311 immunizations, 100 percent).
The March of Dimes continues to fund vaccine research and to work with international coalitions seeking to improve immunization rates and eradicate preventable diseases so they will never again threaten babies and children.
The March of Dimes is the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health. With chapters nationwide and its premier event, March for Babies®, the March of Dimes works to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.

Rangers fans may be bummed to say goodbye to captain Ryan Callahan after he was dealt to the Lightning along with draft picks for forward Martin St. Louis.
But we're here to tell you this was a good deal for the Blueshirts. Here are five reasons why:
1. Re-signing Callahan to a long-term deal would have been too costly...Yes, Callahan is the kind of leader any hockey team would love and his grit on the ice is valuable. But check out what the winger was reportedly looking for -- The Post's Larry Brooks reported there was talk of a six-year $36 million contract from Captain Cally's camp. It was just too much for a player who can get banged up with his style and who isn't known as a pure scorer, along with the fact that it would have tied up serious cap space.
2. ...And losing Callahan for nothing would have been a disaster. There were some experts who thought Callahan could have been a "rental" of sorts for the Blueshirts over the final 20 games and playoffs. But that would have been a horrendous long-term business decision if it didn't result in a Stanley Cup.
3. Martin St. Louis will give the Rangers a much-needed offensive boost. The Rangers get one of the NHL's best point producers for their stretch run. Given that they're 19th in the NHL with 2.55 goals per game, the Blueshirts needed someone like the veteran forward to light a fire under their offense.
4. Trading those draft picks wasn't that risky. The first- and second-rounders the Rangers dealt likely won't be early picks. And a late first-rounder in the NHL doesn't guarantee the player will be a star or even a helpful piece.
5. The Rangers' Stanley Cup window could begin to close in the not-so-distant future. Though Henrik Lundqvist is playing at a high level, his prime won't last forever. The Rangers are just two years removed from an Eastern Conference Finals appearance and lost in the semis last year. If there's a time to go for a ring, it's now.

I use it as described. It is very effective. It would be more effective in reaching all areas of the foot if there were more of the pumice surface exposed. Consider reducing the size of the housing around the pumice stone to expose more of it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I use it for filing down a seed wort and a callas.I no longer have to have them cut once a month by doctor. Not at all painful to use this battery operated gadget. Important to follow directions for its use, especially how long at a time and how often a week or you will take off the skin beyond the callas.

Had been using manual pumice stones and files to remove a heavy build up of dead skin on my feet due to a fungus infection. This product is easy to use and highly effective in gently removingthe build up and smoothing the skin. I'm very pleased with it and hope it continues to function the way it does now.
Worked great!

I use this product on a regular basis. I do need to replace these after just so many uses,so there is an ongoing cost but I think it is worth it.
Good item to use, and it really works.

from RIVERHEAD,NEW YORK
The unit is easy to use and really does work. I just wish at least one of the pumice stones were a little more course.
This product is well worth the money.

My feet have been like extremely course sandpaper for many years . I have tried everything and I came across this in early May of 2013. Well, I received it in 7 days and I really couldn't believe it but it actually softened my feet.Believe me, that is a project in itself.I HIGHLY recommend this product.

Who Will Be The Next Manager Of Manchester City?
Who will replace Roberto Mancini at Manchester City? Will it be the firm favourite Manuel Pellegrini, outsider Jose Mourinho or an even less likely candidate? Today on the blog Amit Singh from Think Football shares his thoughts on the Manchester City manager vacancy.
Roberto Mancini was sacked last night as the Manchester City manager, a year on since he lifted the Premier League title with the club and only two days after he lost the FA Cup final to Wigan. Some pundits felt his sacking was harsh, but in the context of a trophyless season and after such a limp attempt at defending the Premier League title (City are 13 points behind the leaders United) is it any surprise that he was let go?
Mancini's Reign
Mancini took over a side who had spent large sums of money particularly under Thaksin Shinawatra in 07-08 but also at the start of the 08-09 season as Sheikh Mansour took over. Mark Hughes was let go and replaced with Mancini who managed from 09-13, which is a long reign in the current Premier League climates. In his time at City Mancini oversaw a net spend of around £180 million and for it won just the FA Cup and Premier League title as major trophies.
It is also worth remembering that his side was dumped out of the Champions League Group Stages in two consecutive seasons which is by no means good enough. In fact, Mancini was sacked from Inter Milan because of his failure to make inroads into the competition with his replacement Jose Mourinho finally delivering the title in 2010. Whilst some might point to the hard groups that City had this is not an excuse considering their huge net spend with the owners surely rightly expecting their side to make a serious attempt at winning the tournament. It's also worth remembering that Spurs debuted in the tournament in 2010-11 and made it as far as the quarter-finals.
Who Will Replace Mancini At Manchester City?
So who will manage Manchester City next season? The table below displays the odds from leading bookmakers.
|Manuel Pellegrini
|Jose Mourinho
|Rafa Benitez
|Brendan Rodgers
|Carlo Ancelotti
Manuel Pellegrini
Manuel Pellegrini is the stand out favourite to replace Mancini at Manchester City with speculation having been rife since last week. The Chilean manager has had success at Villarreal and Malaga. The latter club he managed to get into the top four and sustain a decent Champions League run despite the exodus of key personnel such as Santi Cazorla to Arsenal.
Notably he made key in roads into the Champions League making the semi-finals back in 2006 (only to lose to Arsenal) as well as getting his Malaga side this season to the quarter-finals where they were beaten by two shock last minute goals.
Some have criticized Pellegrini for his time at Madrid but in truth it was a difficult year at the club in which the Chilean managed to record a huge 96 points which were it not for a Barcelona side (possibly the best ever) who were rampant and recorded 99 points the title would have been won.
Jose Mourinho
Jose Mourinho is probably outside odds to be the new manager. Reports in recent weeks have suggested that he'll be managing Chelsea next season and there is nothing that has come out lately to suggest this won't be the case. City's current Director of Football Txiki Begiristain is the man behind bringing in a new manager, the former Barcelona director interviewed Mourinho for the vacant Barcelona job before appointing Guardiola back in 2008. Clearly he did not feel Mourinho was the right man for the job then given the managers propensity for off field antics and an ethos that wasn't in line with the clubs.
Having rejected Mourinho then it is likely that he will be looking at more pragmatic options once more with Pellegrini highly reported to be his top choice.
Rafael Benitez
Benitez is the bookies third favourite but looks incredibly unlikely to be managing Manchester City next season. In fact, I'd be surprised altogether if Benitez was in the Premier League despite an OK run with Chelsea this season. The Spanish manager, a former Champions League winner, is clearly better at his job than a lot of Chelsea fans will have you believe having won 8 trophies in the last 10 years and with a shot at further European glory this year in the form of the Europa League.
His reputation though has been tarnished at Inter Milan and whilst doing an OK job with Chelsea he has hardly set the World alight. Given all of this it is likely that City will want a higher profile and more in fashion option than Rafa Benitez.
Brendan Rodgers
Brendan Rodgers is currently undertaking a long term project at Liverpool so any move away from the club would be unlikely. The Liverpool manager will have one eye on next season already considering that his side have been in good form in recent weeks and have improved since January as a whole having signed Coutinho and Sturridge.
Any rumour linking him with a move away from the club is thus speculative and unlikely to move into fruition.
Carlo Ancelotti
Carlo Ancelotti picked up the PSG title this week to add to what is an impressive trophy cabinet. The former Chelsea double winning manager has also won the Champions League twice as a manager and the European Cup twice as a player so clearly would bring the sort of European pedigree required to get out of the Group Stages and threaten to win the tournament.
That being said Ancelotti has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid since it became likely Mourinho would leave the club. Ancelotti would thus probably look to move to Madrid as his first choice, rather than considering City, where it is clear Pellegrini is the club's primary target.
So Who Will Be Managing Manchester City Next Season?
Roberto Mancini probably did not do enough to hold onto his job at Manchester City. The three and a half years he spent at the Etihad can be considered relative patience in the modern game, where knee-jerk firings are common place.
Winning just two major trophies on a net spend of £180 million is just not good enough with expectations so high. With the former Inter Milan manager having been sacked by the club Manuel Pellegrini looks to be favourite to replace him. The Chilean manager has a good record both domestically and in Europe and as such should bring something new to the club, especially if he is backed in the transfer market.

Jamie Langenbrunner is talking again and he admits he wanted to play in all 82 games this season.
But what truly upset the Devils' captain was the sense that coach Jacques Lemaire had lost some faith in him with the Stanley Cup playoffs approaching.
Angry at being a healthy scratch from Saturday night's game in Raleigh, N.C., Langenbrunner ended four days of silence when he addressed the issue after practice Wednesday at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla.
Asked if he felt Lemaire had lost some faith in him, Langenbrunner said: "I think sometimes decisions like that make you feel that way, regardless if it's true or not.
"Did having a game off benefit me? No. I didn't ask for a day off. (Playing in all 82 games) was definitely something I wanted to do, or to at least have attempted to. I'm not sure if I've ever done it. I missed one (game) last year. It would have been nice to have had the opportunity to try it."
In fact, Langenbrunner played in all 82 games for the Devils in 2006-07. He has played in 81 games twice (last season and 1997-98 with Dallas).
Lemaire said he thought Langenbrunner could use some rest, especially because he played in every game for Team USA at the Olympics in Vancouver.
"I felt he needed a rest," Lemaire said. "I gave him a rest. I felt Motts (Mike Mottau) needed a rest and I gave him a rest.
"I'd love to give a rest to Whitey (Colin White). He's been playing hard and playing a lot for us. But he's a big guy. Big guys can take a lot. The guy I'd like to give a rest is Zach (Parise). But I don't want to affect the team either.
"We could see Zach dropped (in his performance) at a certain time. It was a lot for him (with the Olympics), especially the way Zach plays. He's on the puck all the time. He never stops. Going to the Olympics and all that, they (Parise and Langenbrunner) were tired at a time. You could tell."
But Parise, who was given Wednesday off from practice along with Patrik Elias, is 25. Langenbrunner will be 35 in July.
What seemed to both Langenbrunner as much as missing a game was the fact that he flew to Raleigh with the team and then flew back on Easter Sunday. I asked him what he would've done had he been the coach.
"If I am the coach, then said player would not have been on the airplane ride to Carolina," Langenbrunner answered.
Did he protest when told he wasn't playing?
"It wasn't an option," he said.
Lemaire didn't seem concerned about Langenbrunner's obvious unhappiness the last four days.
"Everything is okay. This is Jamie," Lemaire said. "He's not a rah-rah guy. He's doing his job."
He suggested Mike Mottau may have been unhappy about sitting out the game in Atlanta.
"He didn't show it," Lemaire said. "Different characters. What can we do?"
Although Langenbrunner said he has not spoken to Lemaire about the issue, he did have a private chat with general manager Lou Lamoriello outside the BankAtlantic Center after practice.
"It has not been addressed with the coach," Langenbrunner said.
He did say his game could improve.
"I could definitely play better," he said. "I want to play better."
During his silence, there had been speculation that Langenbrunner was troubled by things off the ice. Not so, he said.
"Everything away from hockey is fine," he said. "Everything is great."

Airlines offering subsidy options for county airport
MARTINSBURG – The four airlines interested in providing passenger service at the Altoona-Blair County Airport are offering options in need of subsidy ranging from $1.55 million to $2.38 million.
And while the subsidy amount is not one of the four carrier-selection criteria listed in the statues governing the Essential Air Service program, the U.S. Transportation department admits that subsidy is a factor.
"We may consider the relative subsidy requirements of the various options, and we have since the inception of the program," the government states on the EAS program's website.
The four factors named in the statues are: service reliability; contractual and marketing arrangements with a larger carrier at a hub airport; interline ticketing arrangements with a larger carrier at a hub airport; and community views.
Two years ago, when the Altoona-Blair County Airport needed a carrier to provide daily passenger flights subsidized by the EAS program, Silver Airways of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was the only applicant. The company sought to replace Colgan Air because Colgan's owner, Pinnacle Airlines, was experiencing financial problems and wanted to stop serving the Altoona-Blair County Airport and the John Murtha Johnstown-Cambria County Airport.
With no competitors, it was no surprise when the government awarded the contract to Silver, which asked for $3.99 million annually to serve both airports. With that contract set to end July 31, the process has started again to name a carrier to serve the airports as of Aug. 1.
While Silver remains interested in serving both airports, its proposal is part of a package deal with seven additional regional airports in West Virginia and Virginia.
The company wants $23.6 million to serve the group but lists the Altoona-Blair County Airport's subsidy at $1.55 million, making it the cheapest option within the four proposals submitted.
But Silver's option also reduces the Altoona-Blair County Airport's weekday flights from three to two, something that isn't likely to sit well with members of the airport authority who have long been interested in efforts that will build ridership.
Airport authority member Marty Marasco said Friday that with his limited review of the four proposals, he has yet to see a deciding factor that identifies a preferred carrier or option.
But the airport authority is expected to offer a recommendation on or before May 28, the deadline set by the Essential Air Service office, which will forward a recommendation to the assistant secretary for aviation and international affairs.
In light of that task, Marasco said he is asking others for their opinions on flight service. Also, airport manager Tim Hite is working on a summary and an evaluation of the proposals, Marasco said.
Hite was not available Friday for comment but, like members of the Altoona-Blair County Airport Authority, Hite has been critical of Silver for too many canceled flights because of scheduling problems, lack of pilots and weather.
Silver has drawn complaints for similar reasons in other locations. After Silver posted a notice in April about its decision to stop providing flights to the Muscle Shoals Regional Airport in Alabama, airport leaders there were nonchalant and described it as a blessing in disguise.
Even though Silver proposes to continue flying 34-seat aircraft between the Altoona-Blair County and the Washington-Dulles airport, Marasco said he thinks the authority must consider other options.
"Otherwise, I'm afraid that we would continue to get the same treatment as before," he said.
While Sun Air of Fort Lauderdale suggested use of an eight-passenger aircraft between the Altoona-Blair County and the Pittsburgh airports, it also proposed five roundtrip flights every weekday and two roundtrip flights every Saturday and Sunday. The cost was $2.38 million in subsidy.
City Link Air of Jacksonville, Fla., asked for $2.2 million to maintain three daily flights to Pittsburgh, initially with a nine-seat aircraft and later with a 19-seat aircraft.
Boutique Air of San Francisco asked for $2.2 million in subsidy to cover the cost of 24 round-trip flights a week, divided evenly between the Washington-Dulles and Pittsburgh airports, on nine-seat aircraft.
Boutique also suggested a cheaper option, at $1.64 million, if all 24 flights go to Pittsburgh.

Steve Carell ("The Way, Way Back," "Little Miss Sunshine," the forthcoming "Foxcatcher") and Jennifer Garner ("Dallas Buyers Club, "The Odd Life of Timothy Green," "Juno") star as Alexander's upbeat parents. The veteran performers are joined in the film by a trio of young talents that includes 16-year-old Dylan Minnette ("Lost," the upcoming "Prisoners") as Alexander's older brother, Anthony; 15-year-old Kerris Dorsey (TV's "Ray Donovan," "Moneyball") as sister Emily; and 12-year-old Australian native Ed Oxenbould (Oz TV's "Puberty Blues"), who makes his big-screen feature debut as the film's title character, Alexander.

Disney's "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" follows the exploits of 11-year-old Alexander as he experiences the most terrible and horrible day of his young life—a day that begins with gum stuck in his hair, followed by one calamity after another. But when Alexander tells his upbeat family about the misadventures of his disastrous day, he finds little sympathy and begins to wonder if bad things only happen to him. He soon learns that he's not alone when his brother, sister, mom and dad all find themselves living through their own terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Anyone who says there is no such thing as a bad day just hasn't had one.

Q: I'd like to know where I can find an accurate weather forecast for our area. The daily forecast highs and lows are vastly different on each of the local TV newscasts (ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX) from what is shown in The Huntsville Times and what is shown on the Weather Channel – even the scroll across the bottom of the screen on the Weather Channel is different from what is shown on the "Local on the 8s" page. I live in Hampton Cove. Who can give me the most accurate weather forecast for my area? – Marilyn Shanabrough
A: That depends who you ask.
Krissy Scotten, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said all the local news stations, the Weather Channel and her employer are a "good source of information."
But predicting the weather is not an exact science.
"We all have our good days and bad days," Scotten said. "No one is perfect."
She said all weather forecasters are usually "within three degrees." Scotten explained that weather conditions vary across the Tennessee Valley, and can be difficult to predict. On any given day, Hampton Cove may be five degrees cooler than downtown Huntsville. And Monte Sano may be colder than both.
For the most accurate temperature readings, Scotten suggested purchasing a thermometer and placing it outside your home.

Posted by Editor on 03/8/03
Pomona Valley Stage Race - CaliforniaCourtesy SaturnAfter yesterday's flat circuit, today's (Saturday, March 8/03) third stage of the Pomona Valley Stage Race offered up some climbing for the competitors. Held on a rolling 7.8 mile lap, the men's 12 lap and the women's 9 lap race provided ample opportunity for a break to clear the field and stay away. However, the two race leaders - Tom Danielson and Genevieve Jeanson - both had strong teams around them who were plenty capable at controlling the race for their leaders.Like yesterday, the men's race again saw an early break of seven animate things with representatives from almost all of the teams save for the Saturn Team. Prime Alliance's Matt DeCanio was the highest placed rider in the break followed by Health Net's Russell Stevenson. Also there was Andy Jaques Meyes, Patrick Heaney, Dave Jankoviak, Jason Lokkemoe, and Mark Fitzgerald. The break worked well together and Saturn had the entire team at the front of the peloton, again keeping careful tabs on the gap. The gap steadily opened to the 55 second mark when the Saturn Team finally decided it was time to bring it back.Within a lap it was all back together, just in time for Prime Alliance's Danny Pate to put in an impressive attack, clearing the field with Mike Sayers (Health Net) latched onto his rear wheel. Almost instantly Pate had 40 seconds, and it was clear his intent was to stay away. Again the Saturn Team amassed at the front, steadily bringing the twosome back to Danielson. Pate put up quite a fight, continually pressing the pace, but in the end, the four chasing Saturn riders came to terms with him. At the bell lap the gap was a mere 15 seconds, and by the time the group had reassembled the sprinter's teams were firmly committed to a field sprint.With a long, flat sprint, it was again Gord Fraser (Health Net) taking the win over Webcore's Lionel Syne. Third was Prime Alliance's David Clinger. With the help from his Saturn Team, Danielson is assured to start tomorrow's criterium in Yellow.The women's race was also animated with an early break. After two laps of racing, a group of three, lead by T-Mobile's Alison Dunlap, cleared the field. With Dunlap were Saturn's Megan Elliott, and Jennifer Stevens. Elliott was clearly having a superb day and aided Dunlap in keeping the break clear. The three riders dangled off the front for five laps, with Rona keeping the distance in check so that Dunlap would not threaten Jeanson's jersey. Elliott did her part for her Saturn Teammate, taking the mid-way time bonus sprint, ensuring Dunlap would not overtake Lyne Bessette in the overall.In the final lap the three riders finally succumbed to the surging field and there was a quick reshuffling with a new break of six forming. In the break were Jeanson, Bessette and Amber Neben. Bessette's teammate Manon Jutras was also in the break, driving it hard in the final kilometers and setting up Bessette perfectly for the final sprint. From the last 150 meters Bessette took over, clearly out-powering her closest competition in Jeanson. Bessette's win does not change the overall, and like Danielson, Jeanson looks set to finish the Tour in Yellow.Unofficial Results:Women's Race:1. Lyne Bessette - Saturn Cycling Team 2. Genevieve Jeanson - Rona/EskarMen's Race:1. Gord Fraser - Health Net2. Lionel Syne - Webcor Cycling3. David Clinger - Prime Alliance

At least 25 Navy Seawolf veterans will attend the group's national reunion at the Jantzen Beach Red Lion Sept. 19-23.
The Seawolves were an extremely active unit in Vietnam and the association has posted declassified logs of their activities here.
For example, here's an entry from 1969:
"on 28 April when the Det 3 fire team, consisting of Seawolf 305 and Seawolf 320, flying trail, were directed to and engaged a sizable force of sampans near the Cambodian border in the western delta. As the helicopters maneuvered over their target, they swept across the border and were brought under heavy Cambodian antiaircraft fire. Seawolf 320 was immediately shot down, crashing on the Cambodian side. Three of the four crew members perished in the wreckage while one gunner survived with grave injuries. Meanwhile, Seawolf 305, with it's engine oil system damaged, made a forced landing near the remains of 320. Dismounting their weapons, it's crew set up a defensive perimeter around their helicopter. One of 305's gunners, ADJ1 Lloyd T. Williams, under heavy enemy fire and protected to some extent by his fellow crewmen, traversed the distance between the two aircraft and succeeded in pulling the critically wounded 320 gunner to the hastily arranged position around Seawolf 305. A short time later, responding to the initial Mayday call, an Army UH-1D from the 175th Assault Helicopter Company arrived on the scene and after several aborted attempts, managed to pick up all the survivors. But as the it was pulling away, a burst of gunfire laced through the Army helicopter fatally wounding the Seawolf 305 pilot picked up only moments before."
