The department says it's gotten no reports of illness linked to products sold by Norman Z. and Edith B. Sauder on Quarry Road in Maxatawny Township, outside Kutztown.
"I guess all I can say is me and my nine children drink it and we never had a problem with it," Norman Sauder said today, noting his children range in age from 2 to 19. "We had one test that come back positive but we had one test that came back negative after that."
Raw milk and raw milk cheese have not been pasteurized. Advocates of raw milk say pasteurization eliminates beneficial compounds. Health experts, including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, say the risks outweigh benefits.
Symptoms of salmonella illness include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, headache, and abdominal cramps. The symptoms can appear anywhere between six hours and four days after infection.
The agriculture department says independent lab testing April 1 confirmed salmonella in Sauder raw milk sold in a plastic bottle and raw milk cheese with a date code of March 25, 2012.
The announcement follows an outbreak of illness earlier this year linked to raw milk sold by a Chambersburg, Pa.-based farm. In that case, raw milk sold by The Family Cow was contaminated with campylobacter jejuni bacteria, and sickened 31 people from Pennsylvania, four from Maryland, one from New Jersey, and two from West Virginia. The Family Cow distributed products in the Lehigh Valley through a drop-off point in Williams Township, officials said.
Unlike Pennsylvania, New Jersey bars the sale of raw milk products. The state Assembly passed a bill in the last session that would change that, but the state Senate did not sign off.
In New Jersey's new legislative session that began in January, local lawmakers introduced bills A518 in the Assembly and S279 to allow Garden State farms to sell raw milk under certain conditions. Of the two, the Assembly bill is farther along, having been voted out of the Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee in February. There is no date for a vote before the full Assembly.
Sponsors of the Assembly bill include Assembly members John DiMaio and Erik Peterson, both R-Warren/Hunterdon/Somerset, and Alison Littell McHose, R-Warren/Sussex/Morris. Sen. Michael Doherty, R-Warren/Hunterdon/Somerset, is a primary sponsor of the Senate version.
The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture says raw milk and raw milk cheese sales have been suspended at the Sauder facility until additional testing is completed. Before sales can resume, samples must be free of salmonella and other pathogens and the farm must also pass a state inspection.
Sauder, the farm owner, said today the temporary ban on raw milk sales will hurt him in the short term but he's confident buyers will return once the state lifts restrictions on the farm.
"It will hurt the business right at the present, but most people understand," he said. "They just wait until we're clear again and then they just buy more."
The department advises anyone who consumed a product from Sauder's farm in the Kutztown area and has salmonella symptoms to consult his or her physician, visit a local state health center or call 877-PA HEALTH (724-3258).

Three recent events amassed well over 1,000 party-goers, who shoulder-rubbed at "Summer in Provence, " New Orleans Chapter Links levity, and the Mission Possible 2013 Gala. The first two bashes were held in Canal Place, respectively on The Shops' second level and in the Plimsoll Club in the Westin Hotel. Located just blocks away, Generations Hall housed the "Possible" partying for the New Orleans Medical Mission Services.
To celebrate 25 years in the Gulf Coast, the French American Chamber of Commerce lifted glasses of vinous cheer at the annual Summer Wine Festival, titled "Summer in Provence." A VIP champagne toast on the first floor of The Shops at Canal Place set off the socializing, during which time FACC/Gulf Coast President Eric Belin and Consul General of France Jean-Claude Brunet (who was joined by spouse Muriel) spoke to the crowd. Acknowledgements were many as were sightings of Marie Antoinette, along with other French personages of lore, such as Jeanne d'Arc. In fact, Krewe de Jeanne d'Arc members milled about in costume from The Joan of Arc Parade. Meanwhile pianist Armand St. Martin (with wife Patty nearby) worked his wonders on the keyboard. More widespread will be the audience for his new original tune, "Potholes and Politicians."
Then it was on to the second level where music by Harmonouche and Norbert Slama, fabulous food (such as escargots) from about two dozen restaurants or purveyors, libations galore, a drawing for an iPad donated by Cox, and the "Spectacular Silver Jubilee Collection" of wines donated by FACC/CG board members. Other auction enticements, too. The attire was "dressy casual or French" with garb in the French colors of blue, white and red as a sure sartorial bet.
Headliners included honorary Chairwoman Nell Nolan (this columnist); sponsorship Chairman Earl Dyke; FACC/GC executive director Loretta Krentel Krasnow; and auction Chairwoman Edna Krentel Greenbaum, whose top committee duo were Jean Cranmer and Christine Greenebaum (with almost the same spelling and who recently participated in the fundraiser, Girls on the Run 5K in City Park.) A huge "merci" tapped Eiffel Tower Sponsors Air Liquide, The Shops at Canal Place, and Dorignac's Wine & Spirits.
Decorations captured the Provence ambiance with centerpieces of beribboned wine bottles inserted with sunflowers and lavender, table linens of purple or soft celadon, and a signature cake donated by Maurice's French Pastry. Delicieux!
Noted within the three-generational crowd of hundreds were FACC/GC board chairman Henry Battle with Cheryl, Christine Breaux, Heidi Schwegmann, Francoise Grossman, Monique Singley, David and Sally Buquoi, Lorenzo and Cassandra Rodgers, Bill and Maureen Detweiler, Lou (Mrs. Donald) Hoffman with Jimmy and Anne Morse, David and Colleen Bourg, Todd Woodruff and Aaron Thacker, Tom and Debbie Cronin, Bruce and Angel Riviere, Daniel and Linda Castoriano, Jeanne Duplantier, Lynette Buras, Donna Kay Berger, Tom and Courtney Krentel, siblings Abby and Aaron Greenbaum (and wife Savannah), Bob Rue, Jim and Pamela Ricciardi, Sig Greenebaum, Carla and Jay Adams, Joe and Colette Stelly Friend, the Fred Holleys, Aylett Clesi (a former queen of Dorians), Frank Stansbury, John Lambert, and the Warren Montgomerys and their pack of pals who traveled on "le bus de la Northshore."
Said one pleased "Summer in Provence" attendee, "I feel like I'm in France and I didn't even have to pack a bag." She then sipped her Cotes du Provence rose and headed to the auction action.
Dinner and dancing underscored the recent Sunday-evening event of the New Orleans Chapter of the Links Inc. at The Plimsoll Club, which celebrated 55 years of service to the community. Headliners included chapter President Verdie Farmer Richburg, event Chairwoman and immediate past prez Edna Moore, Louisiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Bernette Joshua Johnson (the recipient of The Linkage award) and daughter Racheal, Vonda Rice and husband "Connecting Link" Charles (Entergy president), Dr. Tami Singleton and husband/WDSU meteorologist Damon, Aviation Board chairwoman Cheryl Teamer, and Dr. Florencia Polite and Kenneth, nominee for U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana. Also, Madelyn Doucet with Rod, Alexis B. Robinson, Judge Angelique Reed, Chimene Grant Connor with Torrey Lewis, Michelle Dejoie Manning, daughter and mom Christine and Ann Guillory, Meredith Reed, Maria Burke, Sheryl W. Rodriguez, Sunni and Darrick LeBoeuf, Judge Ad Hoc Nadine Ramsey and sister Ruth, and Judges Terri F. Love (with Ellery), Tracey Flemings-Daviller (with John) and Veronica Henry.
Still others were Crystal and Todd McDonald, Kathleen Turner, Courtney Thornton, a mom-daughter duo in Andrea Green Jefferson and Nailah, Monique Barial-Carey, Janet Sias Roberts and Fred, Barbara Carmon, Andrea Carter, Sharon and Steven Clark, Dwana and Marcus Green, and new members Penny Francis, Connie Gistand, Cordelia Tullous, and Marsha Broussard. A further notable link was Eneid Francis, Southern Area director of The Links Inc. and a member of the organization's Pontchartrain Chapter.
Along with the fine dinner of either blackened red drum or chicken breast, salad and dessert, Naydja CoJoe entertained. To cap the celebration, members headed to the floor for some lively stepping.
Cocktails, dining, silent and live auctions, and entertainment by The Yat Pack beckoned legions for the Mission Possible 2013 Gala chaired by Alice Dolese and Kristie McConnell. Rick Crozier was the auctioneer.
Making this gala, the 11th, purposeful partying were Archbishop Gregory Aymond, Monsignor Andrew Taormina, the Rev. Joseph Doyle, and, with Pamela, Fred Mikill who co-founded New Orleans Medical Mission Services with Drs. R. Daniel Jacob, Thomas Kennedy, John Montz, and Robert Normand. Suzanne Jacob, Mary Kennedy and Sharon Normand accompanied their husbands. Fred Mikill now serves as the NOMMS managing director and CEO.
A patron party launched Mission Possible and the subsequent gallivanting. Enjoying the ado were Joseph "Joe" and Sue Ellen Canizaro, Ralph and Christine Senner, Herman Gacharna, Lisa and Eric Tanzberger, Drs. Warren Bourgeois and Usha Ramadhyani, Dr. Harry Winters with Jackie Elliott, David Richards and Karen Chance, and Kathy Kraft and Beverly Carter, respective "Lay" and "Medical" volunteers of the year.
Flags from the counties served by NOMMS, as well as Louisiana and American flags, decorated the premises. So did poster-size pictures of the smiling patients who had had major surgeries, treatment, and eyeglasses. Awards tapped Marie Hasney of Fleur De Lis New Orleans Catering\The Catering Connection and David LaRocca of DePuy Orthopedics; and Hanna Kirkconnell (representing Fundacion Margie of La Ceiba, Honduras C.A.) a certificate of appreciation. Through the "fundacion, " NOMMS has donated more than $2 million of medical supplies to clinics and hospitals.
More features of the festivity were the bounty of buffet items from a slew of eateries, four silent auction tables, eight top "live" ones, POOF's contribution, The Yat Pack's songs and shenanigans, and a gathering of well over 500 folks, who made Mission Possible just that.

HP Swallows $8.9B USD Loss, But Analysts Praise Its Revamp Work
Jason Mick
August 23, 2012 3:33 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
EDS hit was expected due to troubled integration and move away from low end services
When Hewlett-Packard Comp. (
hired Léo Apotheker
as its new CEO shortly after his firing from SAP AG (
) and
cost his former employer $1B USD
for allowing the theft of code from rival Oracle Corp. (
), we warned that a rocky road could be ahead for the veteran PC maker. Sure enough, Mr. Apotheker lived up to the miserable expectations his history would suggest, punching his ticket to
a second firing in just a year
. Unfortunately that did not save HP from a sordid mess of
missed financial targets and crackpot schemes
such as Mr. Apotheker's plan to
sell HP's core personal computer business
I. HP Takes Expected Hit From EDS
Under the new leadership of former eBay, Inc. (
chief executive Meg Whitman
, HP has
slowly worked to unwind
those plans and recover financially.
HP's recovery
hit an expected bump
in the road when it was forced to write off $10.8B USD from its acquisition of Plano, Texas-based Electronic Data Systems (EDS), a top information technology equipment company
acquired during the Mark Hurd era
for $13.9B USD.
HP's EDS acquisition was the source of a big hit. [Image Source: AP Photo]
The EDS hit is attributable to a variety of factors -- demand weakness in the IT sector, underlying structural issues at EDS, and the recent global recession. But a part of the failure is also arguably attributable to Mr. Apotheker's poor management which left the branded HP Enterprise Services struggling. HP is also moving away from the low-end corporate services that EDS specialized in.
With 300,000 employees, HP remains the world's largest maker of personal computers. But sliding revenue has forced the OEM to
commit to the largest layoffs in its history
. In its fiscal Q3 2012, it shed 4,000 jobs, part of 11,500 jobs it is expected to drop before the year's end.
II. HP Aims for Predictability Amid Sliding PC Sales
HP's fiscal Q3 2012 revenue came in at $29.7B USD -- just slightly below the $30.1B USD average expectation of a Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S survey of analysts, whose expectations were based on HP's released earnings targets. That narrow miss was much closer to the analyst and earning target expectations than most of the results of the Apotheker era.
Comments Ms. Whitman, "We are still in the early stage of the turnaround. There will be challenges ahead that could create some variability in performance. But I'm confident in our ability to work through them and get to where we want to be."
Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu agrees, telling
that despite the loss there's reason for positivity. He remarks, "HP is definitely showing progress in terms of turning around the company."
HP lowered expectations for the rest of the year, towards the lower end of its previous target range. The PC maker is experiencing currency and demand issues in the European and Asian markets (particularly China).
HP, like Dell, has struggled to compete with younger Asian OEMs. [Image Source: HP]
While all of HP's units reported lower revenue, the PC business was the worst hit. Its revenue dropped 10 percent to $8.6B USD, which was still quite a bit better than rival Dell, Inc. (
whose revenue plummeted by 22 percent
Both firms have struggled to keep up with the "young guns" -- Asian OEMs Acer, Inc. (
), Lenovo Group, Ltd. (
), and ASUSTek Computer, Inc. (
). The former two, in particular have posted double digit growth over the last quarter, while the American OEMs posted double digit declines.
"Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine." -- Bill Gates

The Eastern High School volleyball team beat West Washington and Eastern Saturday morning, claiming the county championship for the fourth time in as many seasons.
The Silver Creek varsity football Dragons and head coach Mike Donahue took a huge step in the history of the grid iron last Friday night as they took the football field at Springs Valley High School. The game began a new era in Silver Creek football as the Dragons played in the first game of a full varsity season on the grid iron since 1942. The team never gave up and got a taste of what varsity football in southern Indiana is all about. Silver Creek fell to the home-standing Blackhawks 38-21. The Dragons accepted a challenge from Donahue and outscored Springs Valley 21-13 in the second half of the contest.
Eastern's Tyler Duncan found out today that his father was killed in an accident this morning while working at Jeff Boat. He decided to play and the Musketeers rode the wave of emotion to an 18-7 win over West Washington in Both teams' season-openers.
The Musketeers had a lot of other reasons to be emotional. Be sure to see a story about the emotions and their big win, the schools first-ever in football over the Senators.
Eastern just needs a win over Salem to secure the school's first-ever county championship in football.

Other Sports: Part the Third - Baseball
A word of warning: this could get...emotional.
It may surprise you to learn that I love baseball. It's not anything to do with the hilarious chaos of an error-strewn inside-the-park home run, the clockwork of a perfectly executed triple play, or the rare stealing of home plate (which when witnessed live will cause you to choke up with its simple deceit, like a nymph deigning to rob Zeus himself).
No, I love baseball because baseball introduced me to the euphoric, almost hallucinogenic high of watching a team from your home town win. Like really fucking win. Twice. Torontonians will talk about 1992, 93—the consecutive seasons when the Blue Jays won two World Series titles—for the next thousand years, likely because they will never be repeated. No one really remembers what 1967 felt like, the last year the Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup. And the Grey Cup, as venerable as it is, is an all-Canadian trophy. Canadians like beating Americans. It's in the water we drink. And winning the World Series, the highest trophy awarded to followers of America's Pastime, was liquid acid to the Canadian psyche.
I will never forget them. John Olerud, Roberto Alomar, Pat Borders, Dave Winfield, Joe Carter. My God, Joe Carter. He was, simply, my hero. Carter's 1993 World Series-winning homerun, the homerun that jostled The Shot Heard Round the World out of its place a bit, was beyond magic. When I saw it I accidentally jumped on my friend's dog's tail. I ran outside, twelve years old, waving a giant Canadian flag on one of Toronto's many leafy sidestreets. I believed, sincerely believed, this would happen every year, forever, as long as I had my being. But it was not to be.
I love baseball. But because I loved it so much, so intensely, I knew after the 1994 season, the baseball strike, I would never love it the same way again. I can still watch it and feel the way I did when I was ten years old. I smile with recognition at short stop plays from youth ("Tony'd caught that"), the abuse poured on the right fielder by half drunk crowds, the dead confidence of a pitcher walking off the mound who has struck out three in a row after giving up a couple of basehits on no outs.
But no one who puts on a Blue Jays shirt can ever be John Olerud, with his .400 average and his scarecrow batting stance, no one will have the ancient wisdom of Paul Molitor, the jheri curls of George Bell, the accent of Roberto Alomar. No one who puts on a Blue Jays shirt will ever be Joe Carter, the man who made a twelve year old kid feel like a king for a day, the man who introduced to him the fleetingly rich glory of games played in the sunshine.

Ooooh I felt this. Same vintage, the Dodgers didn't do much. But those were some exciting years in baseball, I watched all those games. By the bye, We're killing it this year, eh? Catch up! (sorry)

The Blue Jays certainly got their licks in at the end of the season with the Red Sox.
Baseball really is so special. No other game like it on the planet.

All right, now you're talking to Harold, maybe daily, maybe every other day , weekly, whatever and there's a golden opportunity presenting itself. Describe the golden opportunities you guys saw and discussed.
Well, Harold and I talked daily. Sometimes every four hours, depending upon what happened, whether he was in Washington or Chicago in that he was a congressman and he traveled back and forth. The real issue with Harold was, did we have an opportunity to make Black people understand what was going on and what could happen. It had nothing to do with the incidents. Black people had been insulted every kind of way you can insult Black people. Over the years they had been insulted, daily, plundered by example after example and it tended to just wash over their heads and they didn't understand. They didn't do anything about it. They didn't, they cared but then they didn't care. It was like, well what can we do about this? And so Harold was saying, look if we're going to end up with people having the same reaction, we're not going to be able to pull it off**. And I said, "The difference, Harold, is that this time people know that the person involved is not the machine. The person involved beat the machine. And then joined him because they didn't know how to run the town." I said, "That means somebody else can beat them." I said, "That's the difference."

An 18-year-old has been jailed in an eastern New Orleans shooting that wounded one person Oct. 16.
Kamal Watts and perhaps at least one other unidentified person that night fired guns at a crowd of people leaving a house in the 13000 block of N. Nemours Street that was hosting a funeral wake, police wrote in court documents.
Shortly after someone shouted, "They're about to start shooting," 20 gunshots rang out. When the gunfire stopped, a woman who was fleeing from the area realized she had been shot in her right thigh.
Paramedics later took the woman to Interim LSU Public Hospital for treatment, where doctors listed her in stable condition. An eyewitness, meanwhile, approached detectives examining the crime scene and told them he recognized Watts as one of the shooters, police allege.
Investigators obtained a warrant for Watts' arrest and on Thursday tracked him to his home in the 14000 block of Beekman Road. They booked him with one count of aggravated battery by shooting, which is punishable by up to 10 years in prison, and a Criminal District Court magistrate later set his bond at $50,000, records show.
The other suspect apparently remains at large.
Watts at the time of the shooting was battling accusations of possessing marijuana and illegally carrying a weapon after an arrest in February. He pleaded guilty in that case and received a year of probation the day before detectives booked him in the shooting, according to records.

Some years ago when I was 20, at the bequest of my mentally ill mother, Dr. Lipton hospitalized me and put me on triavil, an anti-psychotic medication. I do not recall many, if any, actual meetings with him personally. I suffered physical, mental and emotional abuse at the hands of my severely narcissistic, possibly bipolar mother, for decades. She also encouraged the abuse of me by my father, and he complied. As the family scapegoat, I understand that I was labeled the crazy one, while being expected to fulfill a number of highly developmentally inappropriate demands of my so-called family. I was certainly angry, confused, upset, and experiencing situational depression and/or anxiety, but I was definitely not psychotic. I still wonder about the long term effects of psychotropic, especially anti-psychotic medication, upon my still-developing brain. Also, my mother went to him with anxiety/panic attack symptoms when I was growing up, but he must lack even a basic knowledge of psychiatry because he suggested, according to her anyway, she take chlor-trimeton and sent her home. What a missed opportunity to help a severely anxious and chemically-imbalanced woman who reigned down terror upon her family for years. I so wish my mother would have received the help she needed, and we would all have participated in family therapy. I wonder how my life would have turned out differently were it not for the glaring incompetence of this so-called healer/physician. I understand that as a narcissist, my mother would have presented herself to him as not having any problems, but he had no right to prescribe medication that was inappropriate for me, especially without meeting with me and explaining the risks, etc. I hope at least he is now referring patients who present with symptoms beyond his understanding to a qualified psychiatrist, so no one has to suffer like I did.
This doctor does not really listen to what the patient has to say. He is rude and thinks that the patient has nothing to add to his superior ideas.
Highly professional and knowledgeable.

Zoo Critters Up-to-Date on Shots
To ensure the safety of its visitors, the Good Zoo at Oglebay Park vaccinates its mammals and primates against rabies and its birds against the West Nile virus.
Zoo Director Penny Miller said last year a worker at the zoo was scratched by a komodo dragon's tooth. But since reptiles do not carry rabies, it did not have to be tested for rabies. The worker only needed antibiotics since it was a minor scratch.
"She did not need stitches. It was small scratch," Miller said. "Komodo dragons' saliva have a lot of bacteria."
The female komodo dragon at the zoo is slated to go live at Busch Gardens, while the male komodo dragon already has been transferred to the Chaffee Zoo in Fresno, Calif. Miller said the zoo cannot keep the reptiles after they reach a certain size because they do not have enough space inside. Komodo dragons can reach 9 feet in length. The zoo is expected to receive two new baby komodo dragons in the future.
Miller said the zoo works hard to keep its visitors and workers safe. For example, some employees who work directly with animals receive the rabies vaccination.
"All Good Zoo mammals that spend time outside or are handled by zoo workers or guests are vaccinated for rabies as part of the zoo's comprehensive veterinary care program to ensure the health of the animal collection, workers and guests," she said.
Rabies is carried only by mammals, primarily bats and carnivores such as dogs, cats, foxes, skunks and raccoons. Cows, horses, goats and sheep can also carry the disease, she said.
"All animal owners should vaccinate their dogs, cats and farm hoof stock for rabies," Miller said.
She said according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 99 percent of human rabies deaths worldwide are caused by rabid dogs.

The demand is quickly exceeding the supply. The North Dakota Legislature created the Heritage Outdoor Fund during their past session, setting aside up to $30 million dollars every two years to be issued as grant money for certain projects under the umbrella of conservation, agriculture and recreation.
The first round of requests totaled more than $35 million, well over the two-year approved expenditure, and there are several more application deadlines in the months ahead. It will be up to the fund's advisory board to determine which applications will be recommended for approval by the Industrial Commission.
The fund was created following a failed attempt by outdoor interests to place an initiated measure on the November 2012 ballot. Although backers obtained enough signatures to place the measure on the ballot, the petitions were denied by the Attorney General due to a fraudulent gathering process involving some members of the North Dakota State University football team.

The first requests for Outdoors Heritage Fund dollars have exceeded available funding and many more requests are expected. The fund was created by the North Dakota Legislature.
Consequently, the Legislature passed the Outdoor Heritage Fund which is to be paid for by state oil and gas production revenue. The amount, $30 million, is significantly less than what was being proposed by those seeking an initiated measure.
"The state will be sitting on $6 billion extra at the end of 2015 and we can't spend $100 million on conservation?" asked Mike McEnroe, North Dakota Wildlife Federation. "We need to act boldly and with some innovative thinking."
Sportsmen's groups and other interested parties have already begun circulating petitions aimed at putting an initiated measure on the November 2014 ballot. The measure would create a Clean Water, Wildlife and Parks Fund that would receive five percent of the state's oil extraction tax revenue each year. It is estimated such a fund could raise about $75 million dollars annually.
In the meantime, members of the Outdoor Heritage Fund must begin sorting through the first batch of grant requests 76 of them. The requests range from what many would consider traditional-type conservation programs to those that would serve a somewhat different purpose.
Among the requests is one from Carrington in the amount of $13,000 for a new restroom and shelter facility on their golf course. Munich wants $45,000 for playground equipment, Burlington $7,500 to connect water and sewer to a FEMA trailer and bathroom at Old Settler's Park and Beulah $35,000 to replace current playground equipment at their Lions Park.
Devils Lake wants $49,850 to clear a trail system through the snow on Devils Lake. Minot's YMCA is asking for $50,000 to go toward the creation of a community fitness park to be located adjacent to their facility.
Another request comes from the Minot Park District which is seeking $634,000 to develop Centennial Park for "hiking, biking, public fishing access and conserving urban wildlife habitat." The proposed Centennial Park would be located along the Souris River south of the Jack Hoeven baseball complex.
North Dakota Natural Resources Trust has applied for the largest grant, $3.75 million for a Working Lands Partnership program.
"It is a big idea that has been under discussion for a long time. I call it the North Dakota version of land conservation. Very simple. Very straightforward, easy to deal with and a lot less rules and regulations than at the federal level," said Keith Trego, Natural Resources Trust.
When asked about the first round of grant requests, Trego said it was "quite a diversity and a huge challenge" for members of the fund committee.
"The interest in the Heritage Fund underlines what we've been saying for a long time," added Trego. "There is a huge demand and need. Any investment is good."
Additional application deadlines for Outdoor Heritage Fund dollars next year are April 1, Aug. 1 and Nov. 1. Application forms can be found on the North Dakota Industrial Commission website.

As an appetizer, my mom always put out a jar of bright green pepper jelly, a Southern staple, along with crackers and cream cheese.

The NFL preseason is not a time to evaluate Aaron Rodgers for fantasy purposes.
For what it's worth, Rodgers killed it in three games of limited action, just like he did last preseason. He's going to be a fantasy monster this year, and none of his owners need a strong showing in exhibition play to reassure that.
The same goes for all of fantasy's top guns. It's likely Jamaal Charles owners are happy the RB was limited to 16 carries this preseason, and there probably aren't too many Mike Wallace owners worried with his meager four-game total (three catches for 19 yards).
It's the mid-to-late round guys you want to keep an eye on; specifically the players with something to prove. Those players that are fighting for bigger roles in the offense, or trying to get integrated on new teams (including rookies, of course), are the ones that can greatly improve their draft stock by dazzling in the games that don't count.
And it's not just preseason games. Early training camp reports and any other positive sound bites from a coach or (gasp) member of the sports media, can all do wonders for the hype of a prospective fantasy breakout player.
The players on this list have all advanced their draft status (and regular season outlook) in some way this preseason—some in more ways than one. Soon it will be determined whether they meet their new lofty expectations, or if the hype bubble fizzles out at some point this season.
Before we get to the top 10, here are some surging rookies that aren't starting lineup material just yet, but could have value on someone's fantasy bench.
—When a beat reporter describes you as the "best player, period" on the field, you must be doing something right. This is the case with Raiders WR Denarius Moore, who is drawing rave reviews in practice. Moore has the speed Oakland loves, but is also catching everything in sight. With Darrius Heyward-Bust in front of him on the depth chart, Moore has a strong chance to emerge as a starter this season.
—Colt McCoy has been one of the hottest QBs this preseason, and WR Greg Little has a good chance to emerge as his top receiver. Reports from camp/practice have been mixed, but Little has produced nicely in three preseason games (seven catches, 68 yards, TD) and is the perfect fit for Cleveland's new West Coast Offense.
—In San Francisco, RB Kendall Hunter has led the preseason in rushing, and is looking like a fourth-round steal for the 49ers with his impressive combo of power and speed. The undersized back from Oklahoma State hasn't surpassed Anthony Dixon on the depth chart just yet, but looks like a better handcuff for the oft-injured Frank Gore.
—While BenJarvus Green-Ellis has done nothing to change his role as the Patriots short-yardage/goal line back, RB Stevan Ridley has been just as impressive as Hunter, racking up 222 yards from scrimmage and three TD in just two games. He was held out of the final two games with an undisclosed injury, but looks to have a bright future in New England's rushing attack, and as early as this season if the "Law Firm" were to falter.

For the second time in less than ten months, a Detroit-area television station has caught a group of Chrysler workers smoking and drinking on their lunch break.
This time around, Fox 2's Rob Wolchek reports Trenton Engine Plant workers enjoyed their liquid lunch at a small park directly across the street from their local United Auto Workers headquarters. The vice president of Local 372 said he was unaware of the activity.
Tipped off by two separate plant employees who were concerned by the behavior, the television station filmed multiple workers on multiple days lighting pipes and downing tall boys at the park before heading back to work.
Scott Garberding, Chrysler's senior vice president of manufacturing, viewed the footage before it aired and told Fox 2 the company will work aggressively to identify the employees and suspend them without pay pending further investigation.
"I just want to say I'm really both hurt and angered by what your cameras captured," Garberding said. "Unfortunately we've got Chrysler employees in a compromised position, apparently without regard for the impact of their actions on the reputation of their coworkers, of the plant, of the company -- not to mention their own repuation and that of their families.
"As a company over the last two years, Chrysler's come way too far and made way too much progress to let the bad acts of a few put a shadow on the rest of the employees."
Last September, Fox 2 aired footage of workers from Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant engaged in similar behavior on their lunch break. The company eneded up firing 13 employees and suspending two others.

''Capture could become (…) our favorite pop music album" (Magic)
''Capture needs to be tamed, consumed but never ignored'' (Soit dit en passant)
''A challenge taken up by the Digital Intervention" (ARTE)
Paul Kendall and Olivia Louvel were musically cemented by Dimitri Tikovoï after a Michael J. Sheehy concert in Paris October 2001. They started to work together in January 2002 and developed the project throughout the next year. A few days work at the idylic studio of Alan Wilder (Recoil) bore the fruits for Alan's string arrangement on the track "Coma Idyllique". The cover version of "La Coco"(1930) which is normally associated with Fréhel, would appear to be a bizarre inclusion until the lyrics cried take me (translation in English available on request , lazy anglais). This new version with Sébastien Libolt's (VRP/LaTrabant) accordion emerged, simple and naked in Capture's electronic wasteland. So finally we arrive at the starting point for this first Digital Intervention which are the usual suspects : sex, obsession, sensuality, addiction. Long live the funeral march ...
Paul Kendall began his obsession with sound from an early age, after hearing the possibilities of vari-speed on a tape-recorder. Although studying mathematics at York University, his reason for going there was the profile of the electronic music department. During this one year period he learnt how sound could be manipulated. Then he returned to London for a nine year period working in a bank! By chance Kendall met Daniel Miller of Mute Records and found they shared a love of electro-acoustic music. At this time the first "affordable" multitrack tape machine was produced by Fostex, b16. Daniel invited paul to assist in setting up a studio for Mute artists' to use. It wasn't too long before he started engineering for different Mute artists. His reputation progressed over a number of years working on very diverse projects. In 1996 The Parallel Series was launched to allow Kendall to return to his first musical love, electro-acoustic. Finally in 1997 he left Mute to have more time to develop his composition and his two small children. London was becoming suffocating and in february 2002 he moved to Paris, the home of concrète, enfin ...
Olivia Louvel began her studies with classical singing. At the age of fifteen, she discovered Kurt Weill and then became interested in the performance of contemporary vocal music. Between 1993 and 1995, she worked with the Cie Les Arts Sauts where she sang a composition from Meredith Monk for voice and cello, called Madwoman's Vision (Olivia sang 12m in the air...). She toured in the European festivals until finishing with the Perth Festival in Australia. In 1996 she entered the Superior National Conservatory of Dramatic Art in Paris. She worked with many different directors, such as Klaus Michael Grüber and Jean-Yves Ruf. In 2001, she was invited to sing with La Trabant-Sébastien Libolt in the Saint Denis Festival. Since then she has been working in the theatre and preparing new musical projects.

I have a usual docking station. When I dock there, only the right speaker works. But all the connection pins are up and running. What could be the error?

Dear Mitzi
Try plugging it to the headphone jack of your ipod to the docking stations AUX input. If sound is proper in AUX mode then there is a problem in the docking plug. First check if the dock plug is in perfect condition or not by connecting it to either an AUX input or with any other device such as a laptop with which it can be connected. If both the speakers are playing in AUX input then it means that the speakers and amplifier are working nicely and only the plug is the problem. I hope this will help. If not then you have to take the help of a professional help facility.

There has been much in the news of late about the use of prepaid cards and increased scrutiny by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) due to potential abuses. Prepaid card use is growing exponentially among the unbanked and under banked. These cards are used for government disbursements, payroll, employee benefits, health care, and gift giving. Prepaid cards are popular for those who do not use checking, debit or credit cards. CFPB Director Richard Cordray indicates currently more than seven million Americans use prepaid cards. Although prepaid cards operate similarly to debit cards, they are not linked to a bank account and are, thus, outside the regulation of federal consumer protection laws applicable to debit and credit cards. Depending on the prepaid card, consumer redress for theft, loss or unauthorized charges vary widely. As well, many prepaid card services lack clear consumer disclosure for overdraft fees and surcharges. The CFPB announced last week that it will examine prepaid cards to consider new regulations to protect consumers. In a field hearing held recently in Raleigh, North Carolina, recommendations for regulation and oversight of prepaid cards included expanding the current regulatory framework for credit and debit cards to prepaid cards, imposing FDIC insurance requirements and mandating clear, standardized disclosure for fees and surcharges. This issue will be one to watch as industry analysts estimate the use of prepaid cards to grow by 40% each year through 2014 with $167 billion loaded onto prepaid cards in the next two years.

The late U.S. Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan once said, "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts."
And, it is for this reason that Chuck Ardo's Op-ed, "To Remain a refuge from persecution, Israel cannot be a persecutor," must be seriously challenged and deconstructed based on real facts.
Ardo, who comes from a Jewish family that fled the Holocaust moving from Communist Czechoslovakia to Israel as a child before coming to the United States, uses these credentials to justify his position.
While it is important to note that while he is certainly entitled to his opinion, which seem to be based in substantive facts, it is also important to note that these assertions, reports and allegations are really rooted in misinformation, conspiracy theory, anti-Israel propaganda and represent a complete distortion of many facts and avoidance of others.
To Ardo's credit he states that "Israel, like any other country, has the right to defend itself..." and that, "...criticizing Israeli action should not be mistaken for defending Hamas terrorism."
Yet with relatively flimsy references he seeks to hold Israel accountable as a "persecutor."
In doing so he actually makes a case for the justification of Hamas's ongoing rocket attacks on sovereign Israel territory and tunnels into Israel that cause terrorist mayhem. His argument does not hold the terrorists accountable or allow for Israel to deal with the realities of being under attack.
First, Ardo asserts that the widely respected Micky Rosenfeld, foreign press spokesperson for the Israeli police "reportedly" told BBC Journalist Jon Dennison, that the kidnapping of the three Israeli youths were not the work of Hamas after all.
While this sounds like fact, it is an allegation and reported, but not corroborated and although the reports have been widely circulated, they are simply allegations and not necessarily true.
Second, Mr.Ardo argues that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's position that Israel is acting in self-defense in Gaza is "in question."
It is with complete disregard for the fact that since the Gaza transfer to complete Palestinian control during the Ariel Sharon administration, nearly 20,000 rockets have been fired from Gaza upon Israeli sovereign territory. This has created a siege mentality for the residents of Southern Israel.
Ardo ignores the importance of the well-constructed military tunnels into Israel which were created to attack this September for a full-scale Rosh Hashanah invasion of Israel to create death and destruction for civilians.
Ardo also asserts that Hamas' rockets have come into Israel primarily as a result of Israel's military incursions into Gaza.
Let us remember that when Sharon turned Gaza over to the Palestinians it was greeted with promises to turn Gaza into the "Singapore of the Middle East."
Instead, the Gazans turned to Hamas and Hamas turned Gaza into a military staging area to escalate their well-stated mission to eradicate Israel. Cement for building Singapore of the Middle East went to cement for building Lower Gaza into Israel to attack militarily via tunnels.
Here is one other fact that Mr. Ardo failed to mention which has been documented, but not widely reported. At least 160 Palestinian children have been known to have died in the building of these military tunnels. These are the facts above ground, on the ground and below the ground.
Finally, and this is probably the most insidious and deceptive of Mr. Ardo's misrepresentation of the facts, is his reference to what he refers to as "Israel's long adhered to military strategy, known as the 'Dahiya Doctrine.' allowing the targeting of government and civilian infrastructure during military operations as a means of inducing suffering for the civilian population.
The fact of the matter is that the alleged "doctrine" as a long held military strategy is a semantic fabrication crafted by well-known anti-Israel UN diplomat Richard Falk, now an academic in California who has suggested it has been standard operating procedure of the Israeli military.
Yes, it was a strategy of disproportionate urban warfare used once in Lebanon in 2006 and was deemed not to have optimal outcomes and has been a controversial strategy ever since and not used.
Many Israelis and military people have no knowledge of such a "doctrine" as it doesn't exist except in the minds of anti-Israel propagandists, who believe that if they continue to repeat the allegation, it will make it so because people will come to believe it.
Given Ardo's history, one would think he knew better and would have more understanding of the centuries-old attempts to dehumanize Jews in their existential fight for a safe and secure homeland by painting them less than human or capable of understanding the suffering of others.

Beck, son of a Holocaust survivor,is a retired professor and counselor; Coordinator, International Grassroots Faculty Committee for Academic Freedom and Integrity; President Emeritus and Co-Founder of Scholars for Peace in the Middle East, member of the Board of Directors of Historic B'nai Jacob Temple in Middletown, PA and a Past Chair and current member of the Community Relations Council of the Jewish Federation of Greater Harrisburg.

Mind you, I tend to talk to kids like they were adults as much as possible, which they seem to appreciate.
The greatest thing about small children is the unbridled joy they show for even tiny things. Watching the world through their eyes can re-instill a lost sense of wonder.
My daughter was firmly in the "don't want any children" category for years, and piling babies into her lap was not going to change that. But her nephews are eating away at her resolve. Here are babies who she actually has a connection to, who are undeniably cute (no, Grandma is not biased at all, *cough, cough*), and who are being raised with some discipline and are therefore not the kind you're embarrassed to be seen with in public. It's funny to watch her fortresses crumbling.
On the other hand, if she never has kids that is also fine with me. It is her siblings who give her a hard time about it, strangely enough.

I'm not big on other peoples' kids/babies though. All the other moms always jump to hold the newest baby and I feel no such impulse. I enjoy getting out and doing active things, which require tomboy clothes. But every once in a while I do enjoy getting dressed up in a skirt/dress.
I'm the same concerning ruffles and ribbons........ never had them, never wanted them. I don't own a dress or a pair of heels. I do wear make-up and my hair needs to have some semblance of style, but I always wear it so it will be easy to fix, and no fuss all day. My clothes are jeans and t's - shoes are hikers/runners or flip flops. I don't do pretty undies or bras --- just the basics to cover and hold things in place. Girly stuff has always confused me. I don't have a strong maternal instinc - although I do enjoy babies for a bit. I was totally content to have only one child, and sometimes wondered why I even did that!
I'm not even thinking about being a grandmother. My son most likely won't have any as he doesn't like kids at all. And the step daughters are looking like it will not happen for them anytime soon. Youngest doesn't really want kids, and oldest isn't having any luck in the boy department. Combination of being VERY overweight (guys aren't exactly drawn to that) and having a rather boisterous personality (also not something a guy is very drawn to when combined with the weight issue). So, I'm not really expecting any grandkids........ and honestly I'm totally okay with that. I would be very happy to spend my golden years spit-free.

I didn't care about lacy undies either, until I bought some on a whim. Discovered that hubby loves them, on me that is. LOL! So I have amazed myself by acquiring a bit of a wardrobe in that department. His Valentine's Day present is usually something lacy... He enjoys removing the wrapping.
I feel no particular urge to cuddle other people's kids, but I do enjoy talking to them. Never mind if they're just 15 months old - figuring out what they're saying is half the fun. It's fascinating finding out what kind of little person is in there. Even very young they are so different from each other.

This thread is cracking me up because it's just so true.
My ex's mom used to buy all of her son's gifts to me. Yes, he was that much of a wuss. She even bought his Valentines Day gift to me every year. Just creepy. The thing is, she always bought me tons of perfume and fluffy clothes in powder blue. I hated it - both the idea that he couldn't pick a gift for me himself and the fact that neither one obviously knew me.
My birthday is a week before Christmas, and one year he actually went out himself and got me my football team's away jersey. Then for Christmas he bought me a welder. I was thrilled! Then his mom chewed him out for buying something stupid and eveything nice that I said didn't matter.
Holy crap, Judg - I just saw your sig and how much weight you've lost! That's great!
I used to work at an outdoor flower stand. On Valentines day sometimes we'd get the secretaries buying flowers for their bosses to give to their wives. So I'd conspire with the secretary to a) arrange some of the more awful roses because the boss would never know the difference but the wife would, and b) write a receipt for way over what I charged. Then we'd split the difference. Ha ha so evil.

And thus the reason why we never saw eye to eye. I either ask for what I want outright or more often just get it myself.

Maury, no less than a few weeks ago, two high school boys were involved in an altercation about a girl. The younger of the two went to the others house and shot him twice, killed him.
Afterward DH and I talked about it and I told him how wrong I think it was to let that happen. I just think it sets the wrong example completely. What I don't know is the details about how long this went on. DH and SS have a strong bond and they have a lot they don't ever discuss with me. DH gave me the the general indication that this boy who came to our home has been bothering SS at school for a long time and this happening sort of ended all the ruckus that was building between them.
Since then nothing between the boys. SD has a class with the boy, so far he's never said a word to her.

Aries & Jordan: G:hOle - ChaosMen
Jordan is willing to do more with a guy, but not quite to the cock-sucking part. Ironically he thought pissing with a dude might be hot. And with Aries coming in to work with him, I knew we would be in the bathroom again.
It's always a challenge to find ways to piss, show for the camera, and of course, waiting for the guys to pee on queue. But they both pretty much nailed it, despite their cocks both being pretty hard. I think Aries has no problems pissing hard.
The two share the mop bucket to unload their bladders in, and then Jordan departs to have his cock properly serviced through the glory hole. Aries' cock-sucking skills are improving as Jordan's big red stick had him gag only a couple time.
Jordan did pull and jerk-off Aries' cock. Baby steps for him.
I have decided that Aries IS a dirty dirty boy, and rimming and taking a load to the mouth/face are not beyond him, and it sure does seem to excite him to push his limits to the "dark side." He rims Jordan's hole like a hungry piggy.
Jordan grabs his cock and Aries opens his mouth wide. The bulk of his load falls short, but manages to get a fair amount on Aries's lips/face. Aries then goes into jerk-off mode, builds up a sweat and unloads on the floor.
Pretty sure Jordan wants to come back and use his fact cock to split a guy in two, so stay-tuned for more of this ginger with a fat cock!

The eight organizations are: AIDS Resource Foundation for Children, Barat Foundation, Boys & Girls Clubs of Newark, Citizen Schools of New Jersey, FOCUS Hispanic Center for Community Development, God's Promise Community Development Center, Kids Corporation II and the Vacamas Programs for Youth.
"Supporting quality extended learning time opportunities through the PSEG After School Collaborative is a cornerstone of our work to increase graduation rates throughout our 13 municipality service area," Brooke Barrett, Director of Grants and Strategic Development at UWEWH, said in a statement.

"It's a work in progress, but it's very fulfilling," said Kathy Fliegauf, an Oxford farm owner who brings her flowers to the market.
Fliegauf said she likes the social aspect of coming to the market and added that "it keeps you active." She sells a variety of flowers grown at her farm, Stone Row Acres, and also sells handmade items like bibs for children and adults made out of laminated cotton.
Other vendors include:
Grandma Jo's Baked Good's: home style jams and jellies, cobblers, brownies, cookies and fresh eggs
Natural Harvest Gourmet Pickles: zesty hot chips, horseradish spears and fresh barrel-cured sauerkraut
The Sausage Man: handmade premium sausage and fresh mozzarella cheese
Kaprys Catering: pierogies, sauerkraut, kielbasa and cabbage
The farmers market is held Fridays, 3 to 7 p.m. in the municipal parking lot on Route 57 in Washington Borough. It will run through Oct. 4.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, the market is the longest running farmers market in Warren County and the recipient of the Warren County Agricultural Award. For more information call 908-689-4800.

True vows
I am a Catholic who has been in a committed lesbian relationship for 15 years.
I invite you to spend one day observing the way we've opened our home to friends, family, strangers and foster children, and then tell me that our relationship has not produced life, most especially for those unloved children of heterosexual relationships.
I would also like to remind your readers that there are many Catholics who take the long view of our church and its teachings. We remain prayerfully hopeful that just as it finally came to terms with its legacy of racism and anti-Semitism, so too will it come to terms with its current sins of sexism, homophobia, abuse, hypocrisy and the arrogance of its "faithful" who actually think they can speak for the mind of God.
I don't need anyone's permission to call my relationship "a marriage."
What I need is for the government to stop denying me, my partner and my children the very same rights that other families enjoy.
Until you support this, I question how anyone can call himself a Christian.
Adele Gatens, Plainfield
Take a vote
We're going to have a vote in November. Why not place on the ballot two very controversial issues and let the people decide, rather than a partisan group pandering to their constituency? The two issues are 1) same-sex marriage and 2) showing proof of citizenship in order to vote. Let the people decide what's best for the country and let democracy work.
R.J. Mallin, Califon
Illogical argument
In the letter "The purpose of marriage" (Jan. 14), Gerald T. Foley Jr. states that gay couples should be denied marriage on the grounds that they cannot fulfill the primary function of marriage, which is procreation. Using that logic, all postmenopausal women, as well as all infertile individuals, should be denied marriage — or at least they should have been denied marriage in the centuries before modern medicine made it possible for them to procreate.
Given that even the most conservative of societies have, since time immemorial, allowed older and infertile individuals to marry, it is clear that the inability to procreate is not, in itself, a valid reason — even for conservatives — for denying marriage to gays.
Martin Carroll, Watchung
No equivalence
Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver (D-Essex) is trying to insinuate that those who oppose gay marriage can be compared to those who opposed interracial marriage back in the 1950s ("PolitiFact: Oliver's facts on race-based marriage bans mostly correct," Jan. 15). Wrong! Most folks who oppose gay marriage see nothing at all wrong with interracial marriage, provided it follows the norms of marriage, between one man and one woman.
People pushing this gay-marriage agenda are obfuscating the facts by using specious arguments such as this to make those of us who refuse to accept their agenda feel somehow less than civil.
Stephen E. Thorpe, Winfield Park
Freedom's laws
It didn't take me very long at all to be able to look past the straw man that Paul Mulshine propped up in his column on marriage equality ("Gay marriage: Shut up and let us vote," Jan. 15).
Guaranteeing the right to marry to gays and lesbians does not require a constitutional amendment, as Mulshine suggested.
Two landmark federal laws — the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed discrimination against African-Americans and women, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which outlawed discrimination at the polls — expanded freedom in this country legislatively. Democracy was served, and while I'd like to think each would have been approved by popular vote, I'm glad freedom didn't have to take that chance.
Ron Shapella, West Amwell Township

Washington liquor privatization initiative: What's the truth (part 2)
OLYMPIA, Wash. – A $20 million war over liquor privatization in Washington is filling the airwaves. Both sides of Initiative 1183 are serving up contradictory claims. One key point of contention: will liquor consumption go up if private retailers take over the sale of hard alcohol? The "No" campaign says it will.
If Initiative 1183 passes, state liquor stores will close and larger grocery stores will be allowed to sell booze. In fact, Washington's Office of Financial Management estimates the number of outlets selling spirits will increase by a factor of four.
An ad from the "No" campaign paints a dire picture if that were to happen:
"Problem drinking could increase as much as 48-percent."
It's a startling claim. But is it true?
That statistic comes from a Centers for Disease Control community taskforce report that came out earlier this year. The expert panel reviewed 21 studies from around the country and the world that looked at the impact of privatization on alcohol consumption. The conclusion:
"Overall the number of gallons of alcohol in the population increased by 48-percent," says the CDC's Robert Hahn.
He adds, if people are consuming more, "There's lots of evidence that when that happens excessive consumption increases."
Or, "problem drinking" in the words of the "No" campaign.
As a result of this finding, the independent taskforce recommended against further liquor privatization in the United States.
However, it's important to note this is not a recommendation from the Atlanta-based public health agency itself.
"CDC does the science of actually looking at the numbers, the taskforce interprets the numbers and draws conclusions based on them, says Randy Elder of the CDC.
The findings are currently undergoing scientific peer review and are subject to change.
Kathryn Stenger from the "Yes" on I-1183 campaign calls into question the taskforce conclusions. She notes most of the studies looked at wine consumption, not hard liquor and one study was a nearly 40 years old from Finland.
Here she is responding to my questions on TVW's "Inside Olympia" program.
"I'm saying there's no data within the United States looking at states in the U.S. who have privatized recently that bear out that consumption will increase."
Stenger is referring to Iowa and West Virginia. Those states privatized liquor sales more than 20 years ago. But the results are mixed.
At first consumption actually went down. As of 2007, West Virginians were drinking the same amount as when their state privatized.
Here's another case study: California has a private system and a much higher density of liquor stores, yet Washingtonians drink more hard alcohol than Californians.

By the time Lloyd Sam and Peguy Luyindula entered the game in the 74th and 78th minutes for Eric Alexander and Fabian Espindola, it seemed like there was little else that needed to by done in the game, for here, in the 80th, the Red Bull team is up by three. The entire match the Red Bulls have been dominating the Montreal team to such a degree that you imagine that the possession stats will feel like they will be so Bull heavy that you wonder if Montreal saw the ball at all after the warm ups, even if you know that Montreal had some good chances, along with a headed goal that was recalled for offsides.
It was the kind of game that you wish would happen more often, not just because it's a win, but the night had a different feel to it from the beginning. On our way over, traffic thickened on the Turnpike, but out the windows to our right we could see the arc of a rainbow, only on the wrong side of the highway for either end to be planted in Red Bull Arena.
The clouds were massed over the arena, but the rain held, while a storm was unleashed there on the pitch. From the opening, the Red Bull team was on the attack, driving through Montreal and setting the tone of the game early. In the 10th minute, Eric Alexander took a pass from Thierry Henry and drove to the goal, tapping the ball from his right foot to his left and into the goal. Six minutes later, Fabian Espindola lobbed a pass over to Henry in front of the goal, and Henry turned it with the tip of his foot, and placed it into the net.
The Montreal keeper was frustrated, yelling at his team, and when they did attack, it was the speed of Daniele Paponi that seemed the biggest threat, as he shot like an arrow toward the goal, but even an arrow cannot stay its course in a storm, and the Bulls broke up the Montreal attacks and sent the ball to the other end. Montreal, hoping to change the game, sent in their first substitute in the first half, but the period ended with the Bulls up by two.
Walking the arena at the interval, we looked for and found a new friend, and in among the crowd that was there, found ourselves talking with some people we hadn't seen in years, never knew went to games. It was something new at the arena, something that made the game personal, made the day even more ours.
When the second half opened, Montreal seemed to find another plan, pressing themselves onto the attack, but when Tim Cahill headed in a Henry corner in the 58th minute, the plan turned more into the desperation tacctics of a team that didn't want to be shut out. For a few minutes, the ball seemed to find a cycle and the game felt like a practice of set pieces, the ball sent out in front of the team seats by the Bulls, thrown in by Montreal, who sent it across at mid-field, then an attempt to get to the goal, just to have it back and sent out again at nearly the same place. But then the cycle broke, and Sam charged in against Montreal.
Sam is dropped inside the box and Luyindula steps up for the spot kick. Montreal's keeper bounces in place, hands at side, palms out, waiting for the whistle. When the play is whistled to a start, Luyindula sends it in, a hard low shot that targets the back corner. There is little arc to the ball, but it is like that rainbow that we saw on the way in, and Peguy has his first goal as a Red Bull. The clock moves through added time, and he and Lloyd strip their jerseys for the fans, stand there and sign the things that are draped for them across the concrete wall before heading off to the locker room with the rest of the team. Pure gold.

Is Starbucks (Nasdaq: SBUX ) becoming the king of all media? Yesterday, the java giant announced that it would team up with Lions Gate Films (NYSE: LGF ) to market Akeelah and the Bee, an inspirational film about an inner-city girl who rises through the ranks to compete in a national spelling bee.
So how do you spell "opportunity," Akeelah? Starbucks will screen the film for many of its baristas and promote the movie in stores for its big-screen debut in April. That same month, stateside Starbucks stores will begin selling the film's soundtrack; you'll be able to get the DVD with your double latte when it hits home video in early 2007.
It makes sense. Just as family entertainment projects flock to McDonald's (NYSE: MCD ) and Burger King for kids'-meal promotions, the 10,500-unit-strong Starbucks empire would be remiss not to capitalize on its stupendous scale to move more than just muffins and mochas.
Starbucks is already becoming a powerful force in music. From its Hear coffeehouse concept, to its listening kiosks in some Seattle stores, to its own channel on XM Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: XMSR ) , the company has used its hip vibe to cultivate an air of musical authority.
The Akeelah and the Bee soundtrack won't even be the first music CD offered through Starbucks stores. The chain has sold compilation CDs, and worked on discs by Alanis Morissette, Herbie Hancock, Ray Charles, and Bob Dylan. That's why Akeelah's arrival at your local Starbucks may not seem too out of place. The real breakthrough may come early next year, when the film's DVD shows up by the register. If sales are good, who knows how quickly the company's film rack will grow? Since a disc purchase is unlikely to sway a java junkie out of ordering a cup of coffee as well, the sale will be purely incremental.
As impressive as the company's same-store sales have been over the years, Akeelah provides a little more ammo to make next year even stronger. Spellbindingly good move, Starbucks. Now let's see what you can do for an encore.
XM Satellite Radio was a recent pick in theMotley Fool Rule Breakersnewsletter service. Starbucks was one of the more popular selections in the 1990s in David Gardner's Rule Breaker Portfolio, which inspired the modern-day newsletter.
