Bike Club Scotland update: Exploring the Kingdom of Fife July 9, 2010Posted by admin in : Asda, Fife, Scotland , comments closed
Over the last few weeks I have been out exploring my local area, meeting lots of people and discovering lots of exciting bike related activities. On one of my excursions to the Kingdom of Fife, I discovered an outdoor education centre – Lochore Meadow Park. They have recently acquired a fleet of specially adapted bikes for people with disabilities, and have developed a half day training for staff in the community interested in bringing their service users along to access the bikes. So I went along to one of these sessions to find out a wee bit more about what they have to offer. Everyone enjoyed the course, particularly getting to have a go on all the different bikes, and found the day very useful!
Lochore Meadow Park also runs a very successful mountain bike club for young people, with over 50 members currently signed up. Whilst I was out exploring some of the trails on my own bike I came across a skills loop which had some pretty impressive logs, seesaws and skinnies for anyone wishing to brush up on some technical mountain biking skills. The outdoor education team at the centre are keen to link with Bike Club in the future and to offer support and examples of good practice to other groups.
Since the recent launch of Bike Club in Scotland, I have been kept very busy following up pledges made on the day and being contacted by groups enquiring about Bike Club.
All in all Bike Club has been a very positive experience for me so far! Please get in touch if you have a cycling based project you would like to let me know about or if you are interested in finding out how you can become part of Bike Club. I look forward to hearing from you

With Jarome Iginla officially a Pittsburgh Penguin, Boston Bruins fans are wondering at other possibilities on who the team can acquire to fill the need of a the top-six forward role.
One name that has been mentioned in Bruins trade rumors is Tampa Bay Lightning forward Martin St. Louis.
However The Boston Globe's Kevin Paul Dupont wrote for Friday's paper that he spoke with a well-connected player agent who indicated St. Louis "is not going anywhere."
Just before noon time Friday a story broke on ESPN.com with direct quotes from Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman, shooting down the trade speculation.
"Marty St. Louis is not going to be traded," Yzerman told ESPN.com. "He remains one of the best players in the league and an extremely important player to our team, both on and off the ice. We are a team in transition, we just made a coaching change, Marty is one of the leaders of the team, he is not going anywhere."
So count St. Louis out.
Another name that has floated around is Dallas Stars winger Jaromir Jagr.
Jagr, 41, has 14 goals and 11 assists in 31 games this season with a minus-one rating.
Bruins center Marc Savard who is still listed on long-term injured reserve tweeted Wednesday morning following the Iginla news how Jagr would be a great addition to the team.
Bruins have all the parts we just need some pieces Jagr and Krecji would be magic trust me and pp would improve immensely— marc savard (@MSavvy91) March 28, 2013
Savard was referring to Bruins center David Krejci who is a fellow Czech Republic native.
Jagr is signed to a one-year deal worth $4.5 million annually and a cap hit of $4.55 million with the Stars and will become an unrestricted free agent after this season.
He would most likely be a player rental, however one that could improve the team's inconsistent offense.

Australian authorities say the death toll from the Queensland floods has risen to eight, with more than 70 missing after a flash flood tore through the city of Toowoomba Monday.
The sudden 2-meter torrent of water carried away cars and pedestrians and left people clinging to rooftops and telephone poles.
There are mounting fears that the floods will hit nearby Brisbane, Australia's third-largest city.
Officials said more than 40 people were rescued from rooftops by helicopter.
Police have launched a major rescue operation for the 72 people still missing.
The state of Queensland has been swamped with heavy rains since before Christmas, causing the worst flooding in decades.

I don't want to get into a big diatribe about the team defecating themselves in the second half last night. Sheed got into foul trouble and there was really no one else who could match up against Dirk Nowitzki. Big Baby just couldn't handle the job. It was ugly.
So I'm not crushed about the loss. I'm not even really concerned about three straight home losses. It's only January… the team will get out of this funk.
But what I'd like to remind the fine gentlemen who are blessed enough to get paid a combined $90 million or so to play the wonderful sport of basketball is this….
We pay to go to these games. We buy your stuff… often just because your faces or names are on it. Essentially, all of us fans get together every day and chip in to pay all you guys.
We're not mad… yet. We know that guys are hurt. We still love this team and everything. But I just wanna make sure you all remember all this next time you give 20-some-odd minutes of effort in front of your home crowd after three days off. Some of us find that a little off-putting.

Data Domain Goes Faster
Data Domain Goes Faster
EMC released a new addition to the high end of their Data Domain product line a few weeks ago with the Global Deduplication Array (GDA). And last week they announced their new Data Domain Boost option, shipping now for Symantec OST and in the near future for EMC NetWorker environments. While the GDA is clearly positioned to get Data Domain further into the large enterprise arena, the DD Boost option should appeal to managers in any environment that need to shrink their backup window.
Tuesday, May 18, 2010
Global Deduplication Array
The GDA is essentially two of Data Domain's DD880 deduplication systems combined with intelligent software to determine which array, called controllers in this form, to send the data to. This allows the systems to appear as one to the rest of the backup software, providing a simple scaling solution. In the past scaling had to come by adding separate Data Domain systems independently attached to the backup server. This required the backup administrator to figure out how to best utilize the systems and to manually balance the load between them. The GDA software now manages all that balancing for the backup administrator. They simply aim backup jobs at what appears to be a single target and the Data Domain software figures out the rest. That even includes rebalancing entire backup data sets if need be.
The combined systems provide the Data Domain customer with the highest level of scale ever offered in their product line. The GDA scales to 12.8TB per hour transfer speed and up to 285TB of capacity (before optimization). Ultimately this delivers petabytes of logical (post optimization) capacity, earmarking the GDA for large enterprise backup environments. It can support an increased number of concurrent write streams as well as increased remote fan-in connections as a replication target.
Data Domain Boost Software
One of the key enablers of the GDA is the new DD Boost software that EMC just announced. In addition to managing traffic between the controllers on a GDA it also provides value to any single controller Data Domain system that customers are using with Symantec NetBackup and OST or, in the latter half of the year, EMC's NetWorker. DD Boost achieves additional throughput performance benefits for Data Domain systems by distributing parts of the deduplication process to the backup servers. DD Boost can also reduce the load on the backup server and make transfers faster by eliminating much of the redundant data that would otherwise be sent to the Data Domain system.
The DD Boost plug-in is installed on the backup server and will generate the hash for data segments as the backup server processes the inbound data. It will then send that hash to the Data Domain appliance. The appliance will determine if it has seen that segment before. If it has, the Data Domain system will tell the plug-in not to send the data. If the hash is new, it will request the actual data be sent across the network and will store that data.
The net effect of DD Boost should be a dramatic reduction in the amount of data that the backup server needs to transfer to the Data Domain system. This comes without making the backup server do all the heavy lifting that a complete backup server-based deduplication system would require.
This all happens without changing backup server, backup software or most importantly backup infrastructure. If a Data Domain customer using NetBackup or BackupExec or soon NetWorker is pushing the limits today of any of these elements, simply installing the plug-in should produce a noticeable increase in performance.

Responding to the sound of seven to eight gunshots at around 10 p.m., cops encountered a 26-year-old Rutgers Avenue man who told them he was sitting on the front steps of his house when he heard gunfire and started running, reports said.
The man said he started to feel pain and then realized he had been shot in the left buttock, reports said.
While waiting for the ambulance to leave the area, a 22-year-old resident of Pine Street walked up to the officers and told them that he had just been shot as well, reports said.
The 22-year-old lifted his shirt and revealed a bullet wound in his upper chest, reports said.
The second victim told cops he heard several gunshots, started running, and was near Rutgers and Cator avenues when he realized he had been hit by a bullet, reports said.
Both men were transported to the Jersey City Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries and released, reports said, noting that both victims told police they did not see who shot them.
Police found three .45-caliber shell casings and three bullet fragments in the area of Rutgers and Chapel, reports said.

Before the last week's home opener, I posted a plea to Orange football fans: Teach me how to bleed orange.
Armed with advice from your comments and emails, I narrowed down five best practices to be an Orange football "super fan." Then I spent a day on campus trying each tip myself, starting at 9 a.m. with a tailgate party and ending with Syracuse's defeat of the Wagner Seahawks, 54-0.
I still have long way to go in my fandom (literally, since I have yet to attend an away game), but this list was a great introduction to the rabid, raging world of super fans.
Watch my journey in the video above.
Tip 1: Touch the Ernie Davis statue for good luck.
Was I living in a box while in school? Saturday's Wagner wipeout wasn't my first Orange football game, but I was surprised to catch orange-clad fans of all ages rubbing Davis's shoes. I had never noticed it before.
As the Bud Light commercials say, it's only weird if it doesn't work.
Small observation: Maybe someone should rub the statue with a long broom before the next home game. Poor Ernie had some major cobwebs in his eye and mouth.
Tip 2: Wear orange. Buy orange. Collect the orange merchandise.
I already had plenty of Syracuse University clothing, mugs and pennants from my time as a student, so I took this advice to buy something I always wanted: my first foam finger. Cliche? Yes. Worth it? YES.
Tip 3: Tailgate
This was the super fan tradition I was most excited to try.
A reader named Mike Frame responded to my plea and invited me to his seventh annual football party, Tailgate Armageddon.
The apocalyptic name is a dig at the team considered to be Syracuse's weakest opponent. In other words, if a team like Wagner were to beat a team like Syracuse, the world would have to end. Hey, Wagner didn't prove us wrong.
The Tailgate Armageddon gang eats like it's the end of the world, too. You won't find your regular burger and Lay's Potato Chips under this tent.
"We try to kick it up a notch every year," said Frame, who launched the event in 2007.
He's just being humble.
The crew sets up the grill at roughly 8 a.m. on a game day. To start, they whip out doughnuts, coffee and hot rum cider. (Yes, the drinking begins well before noon.)
Next, Frame fires up the grill and his wife, Kristy, starts kneading the pizza dough.
"I knew she was the one for me when we were walking into a Georgetown basketball game and she used some pretty colorful language for the Georgetown fans," Frame said about Kristy. "I think they were a little shocked."
Soon there's sizzling steak, chicken spiedies, two kinds of homemade pizza and a spicy shrimp boil complete with sausage, corn and mushrooms. Tailgaters washed it all down with beer or spiked "Mike Tyson Punch."
The Tailgate Armageddon crew also picks a new theme to inspire the design of their annual T-shirts and menu. This year's theme was "The Hangover" movie, complete with shots of Jägermeister. Last year's theme was former head football coach Doug Marrone.
"I don't know whether or not that was worth it," Frame joked.
As the day waxed on, I watched the group happily welcome strangers into their space on the corner of E. Adams and University Avenue.
"I think we're usually the most appealing tailgate in the lot," said Brian Baluta, a season ticket holder and Orange football fan who's been attending Tailgate Armageddon since its inception. "We get a lot of people who just wander in and want to know what's going on."
Frame offered one more super fan tip, which I'll save for a later date:
"We usually try to go to an away game every year," he said. "In order to galvanize yourself as a fan, you've got to step into hostile territory."
Duly noted.
Tip 4: Paint your face and body orange.
I couldn't find orange and blue paint right before the game, but I did bring eye black and the tailgate crew dotted me with Otto stickers. I also learned eye black isn't just for show, but rather to reduce the glare of stadium lights for the players. Color me embarrassed -- for years, I thought it was just a tradition.
Closer to Halloween, I'll track down orange and blue paint at a costume store. Sooner or later, I'll build up the courage to go full-body.
Tip 5: Go to the games and stay until the end.
As a few commenters mentioned on my original plea post, it's never good to see previously-packed stands in the Dome vacant by the third quarter.
So I stayed until the end of the Wagner game, though a third of the Dome had emptied once we cemented a 30-point lead. It wasn't a nail biter by any means, but watching the Orange crush Wagner into dust was satisfying, especially since I'm a Bengals fan and rarely get to savor football victories.
Many thanks for all your advice, Orange fans.
Next stop: my first away game.

I'm a huge fan of SlingBox and SlingPlayer Mobile. It's allowed me to watch my favorite TV shows or movies at my convenience or even on the go. So with that in mind, it's good to see that SlingPlayer mobile will be coming soon to Android, as I've been using it for years on various Windows Phones.
In the video below, the guys at Sling Media take us through a tour of SlingPlayer mobile for Android on the beautiful beast known as the HTC EVO 4G (Sprint) and its 4.3″ display.
Note: SlingPlayer mobile relies on a SlingBox unit at home, which connects to your TV, to stream cable or satellite feeds directly to your device.

Re: Sword tip movement
A few years ago Kondo sensei (of Daito-ryu) told a few of us that one of the highest forms of aiki is being able to cut straight. He told us to study it over and over again. He also did not explain much more and left it at that... His English wasn't good enough and our Japanese wasn't good enough and we had no one to translate.
In Shinkage-ryu we spend a great deal of time practicing straight cuts. In fact the first set of kata called Hojo is almost exclusively straight cuts. One thing we work on is keeping our hips square to the opponent. If your hips aren't square (belly button or belt knot facing straight ahead) you'll likely pull your straight cut slightly gyaku or jun.
Another thing I've seen is people not used to swinging swords is they tend to have a weak grip in one or both hands. This can lead to poor cuts. You might just need to strengthen your grip some with more suburi. Something that I like doing is sledge hammer levering. Do that for a few weeks and even a Shinkage-ryu bokuto will feel like a feather!.

Opportunity: On the Edge

Operators of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity have determined that a proposed route eastward out of "Endurance Crater" is not passable, so the rover will backtrack to leave the crater by a southward route, perhaps by retracing its entry path.
"We've done a careful analysis of the ground in front of Opportunity and decided to turn around," said Jim Erickson, rover project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "To the right, the slope is too steep — more than 30 degrees. To the left, there are sandy areas we can't be sure we could get across."
Before turning around, Opportunity will spend a few days examining the rock layers in scarp about 10 meters (33 feet) high, dubbed "Burns Cliff." From its location at the western foot of the cliff, the rover will use its panoramic camera and miniature thermal emission spectrometer to collect information from which scientists hope to determine whether some of the layers were deposited by wind, rather than by water. The rover will not reach an area about 15 meters (50 feet) farther east where two layers at different angles meet at the base of the cliff.
"We have pushed the vehicle right to the edge of its capabilities, and we've finally reached a spot where we may be able to answer questions we've been asking about this site for months," said Dr. Steve Squyres, rover principal investigator at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y. "But after we're done here, it'll be time to turn around. Going any farther could cut off our line of retreat from the crater, and that's not something anybody on the team wants to do."

Opportunity entered the stadium-size crater on June 8 at a site called "Karatepe" along the crater's southern rim. Inside the crater, it has found and examined multiple layers of rocks that show evidence of a wet environment in the area's distant past.
Opportunity and its twin, Spirit, successfully completed their primary three-month missions on Mars in April. NASA has extended their missions twice, most recently on Oct. 1, because the rovers have remained in good condition to continue exploring Mars longer than anticipated.
Engineers have finished troubleshooting an indication of a problem with steering brakes on Spirit. The brakes are designed to keep the rover wheels from being bumped off course while driving. Spirit has intermittently sent information in recent weeks that the brakes on two wheels were not releasing properly when the rover received commands to set a new course. Testing and analysis indicate that the mechanism for detecting whether the brakes are released is probably sending a false indication. The rover team will disregard that signal and presume the brakes have actually released properly when commanded to do so. This anomaly has not been observed on the Opportunity rover.
"We're going back to using the full steering capabilities of Spirit," Erickson said.

In the previous five games, Wood had hit 7-of-38 shots from the field (18.4%) including just 6-of-27 (22.2%) from 3-point range. State was 1-4 over that stretch and lost four straight, clearly missing Wood's perimeter production as he led the team in scoring before the recent funk.
"It was tough," said Wood. "The last two weeks I've felt like it was all my fault. I've been in the gym working hard, my family has been talking to me about it. I did it for the first three-fourths of the season, but I just hit a little lull there.
"In a couple of the games I was more worried about the defender and getting a call, but the main thing is I need to cut hard. If I cut as hard as I can I'll probably get open."
"With Scott, we're just a different team when he hits baskets," said Wolfpack head coach Mark Gottfried. "We have a different feel about ourselves.
When he's open, we need his shooting. I don't know that we can go away from him all together and say, hey, because we're a different team when he scores 10 to 15 points a game, much different. So we need him to step forward."
Wood step forward on Wednesday night, but early on it looked like he might not break out of that slump.
He opened the game by knocking down his first attempt, a deep 3-pointer from the wing that gave the Pack a 5-2 lead, but he would miss his next three attempts, and it left Gottfried wondering what to do with his shooter.
"He missed a couple early, he had good looks early too, open shots," said Gottfried. "To be honest, I thought in my mind what do we want to do here because he has struggled lately.
"At the same time, he is a great shooter and he just needed to make a couple. If he makes a couple everything will change for him, which I thought it did."
Wood hit his next two 3-point tries in the first half, and seemed to have his confidence back. Perhaps more importantly, it enhanced the confidence his head coach had in him, which showed in the game's closing minutes.
Miami tied the game at 69 on 3-pointer by Malcolm Grant with 1:36 remaining, and the Wolfpack called a 20-second timeout. In the huddle drew up a set that he hoped would free up Wood, who came off a terrific screen by Richard Howell to hit a contested 3-pointer that put State up for good at 72-69 with 1:08 left in the game.
"His 3-point shot late in the game across from our bench was huge," said Gottfried. "He came off a great screen by Richard and shot the ball with tremendous confidence. I was glad to see him kind of get back on track."
"The initial play was to get C.J. and Richard down low and then Richard set a really good screen," added Wood. "I got a good look and knocked it in."
Because of the threat he poses as a shooter, it is hard to take Wood off the floor. He opens up the paint for State's interior players and always commands attention from his defender, but he hadn't been hitting shots and wasn't contributing in other areas either, which Wood, who also grabbed five rebounds, said after the game a family member pointed out.
"My dad called me the other day and said if you're going to suck at least do some other things good," he stated. "So I was trying to contribute on the defensive end, grab a couple of rebounds, make a couple of assists."
Wood finished the game 5-of-11 from the field and 5-of-10 from behind the 3-point arc, totaling 15 points and providing the outside shooting that State has lacked during its four-game losing streak.
"I'm thankful they started to fall."

From the great David Goldman:
When Reagan took office in 1981, the baby boomers were in their 20s and 30s, America had a 10% savings rate, the current account was in surplus, and America was the world's largest net creditor nation. Reagan was able to cut taxes and finance an enormous budget deficit because the world's demand for US Treasury securities was correspondingly large. In 2010, the baby boomers are in their 50s and 60s, America has saved nothing for a decade, the current account remains in severe deficit and the world is choking on the existing supply of Treasury securities. Cutting taxes to stimulate the economy is not as simple this time round.

The VA's office of the Inspector General is now investigating allegations of secret waiting lists used to hide appointment delays. It's believed some 40 veterans died while waiting to see a doctor, but VA records show everyone was being seen within two weeks.
For Utah Senator Orrin Hatch the allegations are inexcusable.
"There is some indication that they were cooking the books in some ways to look better than they really were," said Sen. Hatch. "It would have been better for them to come to us and say 'hey we need this and this and this, and if you help us we may be able to prevent delays in helping our veterans and soldiers.'"
"I think the government has let some of our veterans down," said Nielsen.
Nielsen is battling cancer, and while he's upset over the national VA scandal he says here in
"I was already with a doctor before I even contacted the VA about it but they have come through and have given me disability for it," said Nielsen.
In fact, none of the veterans we spoke with had anything bad to say about the
"You know my experience with the VA here has been great," said Ret. Lt. Colonel Ronald McLean. "I mean it's excellent. I have no complaints at all."
Some are calling for VA Secretary Eric Shinseki to step down in the wake of the scandal, but he has no plans to step down as of yet. President Obama says he needs more information, but promised accountability if the allegations prove to be true.

CLEVELAND -- Veteran wide receiver Drew Bennett, formerly of the Rams, will visit the Browns on Wednesday in hopes of signing with the team, a source close to the situation said.
Bennett (6-5, 196) was originallly signed as a free agent with the Titans out UCLA in 2001 and spent six seasons in Tennessee. He led the team with 46 catches in 2006 and a 16.0-yard average. In 2004, he tied an NFL record with eight TDs in a three-game span.
Bennett signed with the Rams as a free agent in 2007, but never panned out there. He caught 33 passes for 375 yards and 3 TDs in '07 and broke his leg in the 2008 opener, missing the rest of the season.

Crock Pot Chili Pork Chops.....a Must Try!
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 7 hrs
I found this recipe on the web somewhere and decided to try it. It is absolutely wonderful and the meat just falls off the bones. As my husband describes it "they are succulent!" This is a must in our family at least every other week!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 -3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 3⁄4 cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 5 -6 pork chops (bone in preferred)
- salt and pepper
- Cook onions in oil until lightly brown.
- Add garlic, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, water, ketchup and salt and pepper.
- Cover and simmer the sauce for 10 minutes.
- Arrange pork chops in crock pot, pour sauce over the chops.
- Cover and cook on LOW HEAT for 6-7 hours.
- I find that the longer you cook them, the more tender they are.
- I normally serve them with mashed potatoes and a vegetable. I put the sauce over the mashed potatoes(yummy!).
Most Helpful
I did it the lazy way and for 2 people. I agree that the sauce is very good over potatoes so:
I cut up 3 potatoes and used about 1 cup chopped onion and put into bottom of crockpot. I put the pork chops on top. Then I mixed the sauce ingredients ( I left out olive oil obviously and used minced garlic in replacement of the cloves)and poured over pork chops. Then I cooked on low for 8 hours while I was at work. Very good! I threw a corn steamer in the microwave and we were ready to eat!! Thanks for posting!!
I thought this recipe was unbelievably good! BUT, I did add a whole lot more spices than the actual recipe calls for, because I'm big on flavor! I used a whole diced onion, 4-5 garlic cloves, double the chili powder, cumin, a little cinnamon, and then I ended up adding about 1 tbsp. brown sugar to cut the sourness of the ketchup & worcestershire sauce. The sauce was perfect with the fried potatoes I served on the side. Will definitely be making this again & again.
So nice to find a pork chop recipe for the crock pot that doesn't involve a can of 'cream of' soup! Made this tonight & really liked it. Made very few changes - browned the onions in bacon fat because it was there, and I only did 1/4 cup of water after reading the other reviews. IMO 1/4c water was plenty. I did add just a little bit of cumin because I like the smokey taste it gives - everything else was as written. I had 4, 1" boneless chops & they were fork tender at 5 hours on low. I served these over homemade cornmeal waffles & it was terrific. Little hint of heat, nice flavor & a change from the same ol' same ol'. Thanks!

True, the state boys track and field qualifying meet is more than a month away. But why wait for that event to see a full passel of athletic standouts?
The gathering of 23 teams at New Hartford's invitational meet on Friday afternoon went far beyond the normal mid-season gathering. Name the contest - running, jumping, throwing - and chances are the best in Section III was here, with rare exceptions (like Fayetteville-Manlius standouts Jamal Johnson and Alex Hatz).
For the record, Liverpool won the team title with 91 points, beating Cicero-North Syracuse (82.5 points) for that top spot. This gives the Warriors all kind of confidence that it could also win their head-to-head duel with the Northstars 12 days from now, at Bragman Stadium.
Yet the real story was the star power, everywhere. In the sprints, Henninger's Andre Britton took over, going 11.0 seconds (into the wind) in the 100-meter dash and 22.44 seconds in the 200, more than half a second ahead of the field.
Liverpool's very own T.J. Davis needed 50.14 seconds to prevail at 400 meters, then moved over to the long jump and went 22 feet 6 inches. Davis edged past Oneida's Pat McLaughlin (22 feet 4 ¼ inches), but McLaughlin made up for it by rolling to victory in the 110-meter high hurdles in 15.25 seconds.
In distance running, Marcellus' Chris Stogsdill tore through the mile in 4:17.52, more than 11 seconds ahead of the field. This came in between Dan Wolfanger giving the hometown Spartans a victory in the 800 (1:58.13) and Liverpool teammates Bryan Picciotto (9:42.40) and Ethan Hickey (9:43.19) going 1-2 in the 3,200.
Hickey and Picciotto also helped in the 4x800 that Liverpool won in 8:10.54. Corcoran tore to wins in the 4x100 and 4x200, while CNS prevailed in the 4x400 and sprint medley and Baldwinsville won the distance medley.
Much has been made of Andy Kahl's quest to clear 7 feet in the long jump. He's pacing himself, needing 6 feet 6 inches to beat Clinton's Tom Wagner (6 feet 4 inches), while Wagner made do with winning the triple jump with 47 feet 5 ¾ inches. Kahl's CNS teammate, Craig Barber, went past 13 feet in the pole vault.
Marcellus' Matt Weeks, sixth in the high jump, pulverized everyone in the 400 hurdles, his time of 58.08 seconds more than 2 ½ seconds clear of the field. Whitesboro's Leonard Joseph had to be pumped up after his winning discus throw of 139 feet 5 inches, while Solvay's Jason Conners took over in the shot put, his top toss going 53 feet 3 ¼ inches.
If there was a recurring theme at New Hartford, it was how people like Britton, Stogsdill, Weeks and Wolfanger won by big margins on the oval, despite the high level of competition. You can already sense that they could not just reach the state meet, but finish high up in the standings.
Now F-M wasn't quiet on this Friday, either. They led a tough field of 12 at the Coed Coaches Invitational at Chittenango, with 106.5 points, as Westhill (73 points) claimed the runner-up spot.
Johnson stuck to winning the 100 and Hatz prevailed in the mile in 4:19.06, just behind what Stogsdill did at New Hartford. Combined, they helped the Hornets win the 4x400, and it placed everywhere in field events, including Colin Anderson's victory in the discus.
Westhill won two relays and had Vinny Savastano prevail in the steeplechase, while Bishop Ludden teammates Wendall Williams and Daquan Grobsmith went 1-2 in the long jump, as Williams got second to Johnson in the 100 and Grobsmith won the 200 in 23.88 seconds.
At CBA's Brother Basilian Invitational, Tully won everywhere - two relays, two field events, and lots of victories on the oval from the likes of Chris Burke and Ethan Lennox. Plus, you had VVS' John Slaven clearing 13 feet in the pole vault and trying to get 14-1, but coming just short.

GIVE ME A BREAK. Recipients of food stamps will not starve in a one- or two-day glitch. I get stopped all the time by people wanting to sell me their food stamps. They get enough to store some staples in their cabinets. The whole program has gone crazy, people keep having babies they can't afford. When is it ever going to stop?
THIS SHUTDOWN situation is the fault of the Republicans who want to blackmail the president and force aside the Affordable Care Act that most people want. How could any decent person not want uninsured people to get insurance? Stop the shutdown Republicans!
I THINK THE mere hours of EBT failure served a good purpose. We find out more of possible scammers on the system. The REAL poor people should know the churches and other locations for free groceries and/or meals. Now maybe the scammers will learn the true value of the free foods they have been taking for granted.
FOR ALL THE back-seat presidents: Y'all voted in Bush and his three stooges to run our debt up with a huge lie that killed our soldiers daily. Never heard any of you complain about that. Lying to his wife about Monica got Clinton impeached. Lying about Saddam? No big deal!
QUESTION FOR Sherriff Roundtree: If the feds asked the RCSO to lock down open air memorials or federal parks in our community, would you order your officers to deny law-abiding citizens access?
THE HEALTH CARE Act is 2,700 pages and has spawned more than 13,000 pages of regulations. The Civil Rights Act is four pages long. Throw out these arrogant, meddlesome politicians who exempt themselves from atrocities they pass.
WE HAVE LAWS on the book that prohibit the loud music coming from cars in south Augusta. Why don't the police stop these people? They hear them. Give them a ticket. Do something.

Reunited band Blur to release career-spanning compilation
Newly reunited Brit band Blur will be releasing a double-disc compilation "Midlife: A Beginner's Guide to Blur" on July 28 via Capitol/EMI. The set is full of representative career hits, including "She's So High," the unavoidable "Song 2" and dancefloor fire-starter "Girls & Boys." As an added incentive to buyers who may already have all the tracks, "Midlife" contains "Popscene," an out-of-print single from 1992.
Tracks were culled from every Blur album, including 1991's "Leisure," 1994's "Parklife," 1997's self-titled album and the group's last, "Think Tank," released in May 2003.
The collection comes in time for the band's reunion performances lined up for this summer in the U.K. this year. Late last year, Blur co-founder Damon Albarn announced that the group made nice with departed member Graham Coxon, who was booted from the group after recording "Think Tank" turned into a creative tug-of-war.
Coxon kept himself busy with solo releases "Happiness in Magazines," "Love Travels at Illegal Speeds" and this year's "The Spinning Top." He maintained a solo career even before his split with Blur.
Albarn has also distinguished himself outside of Blur as a contributor to Gorillaz.
Blur is headlining the Glastonbury Festival in June and is taking over London's Hyde Park on July 2 and 3; the latter of those dates, the first that was announced, reportedly sold out in two minutes. Blur has also confirmed headlining performances at France's Les Nuits De Fourviere on July 5, Ireland's Oxegen on July 10, and Scotland's T In The Park on July 12. The group has not announced any plans to tour in the U.S. Yet.

International Day of the Girl Child promotes girls' right to education
A teenage author from Newfoundland whose first novel was recently published is set to connect today with students at a school in Uganda to help promote the cause of a girl's right to be educated.
© — Submitted photo
Caighlan Smith was scheduled to chat online today with students at a school in Uganda to help mark International Day of the Girl Child. Her first novel, "Hallow Hour," was recently published by Boulder Publications.
International Day of the Girl Child recognizes the advancement of opportunities for women, with a particular focus on girls.
For Caighlan Smith, 19, the opportunity to speak with students at a school in Bulera, Uganda, and read from her debut novel, "Hallow Hour," was something she could not pass up.
Smith, a second-year English student at Memorial University, became involved in the girl child movement in junior high school when her class raised funds to educate girls in Uganda.
Later volunteering as an editor for her high school newspaper, Smith got involved in another effort to raise funds for the same cause.
"Being a young girl at the time, I felt very strongly about it," she said in explaining her reasons for becoming involved in the girl-child movement. "I live in a privileged place and it was no big deal for me to go to school. I couldn't imagine that there were girls over in Uganda who went to school and they didn't have a washroom, because only the boys had a washroom. That kind of thing, I didn't understand how that could be real."
Early achievement
Smith will read to the students in Uganda today to offer an example of a girl who has achieved something at a young age — having a book published.
The reading was arranged with help from the Newfoundland and Labrador Teachers' Association and its Teachers' Action for Girls project.

"Hallow Hour" — published by Boulder Publications — is not Smith's first attempt at writing a novel. She did meet with another publisher about a book she wrote at the age of 14.
"They thought it was pretty good," said Smith. "They didn't think I had written it, because I was 14, but then I convinced them I had, and they said they might consider publishing it if I went back and revised it."
Instead, she moved on to other ideas, eventually leading to "Hallow Hour." With a story firmly planted in the paranormal world, the book follows sibling phantom hunters tasked with battling powerful demons.
"I've always been a big reader," said Smith. "I love reading fiction and fantasy especially."
Smith was also raised by a writer. Her mother, Sharon Smith, has worked in film and television as a screenwriter and director.
"Hallow Hour" is part of what Smith hopes will be a series of books marketed towards young adults. The second book is written and ready for editing, and Smith already has an idea in place for book Number 3.

Removal of a breached orphan dam began Monday that will leave the Conewango Creek completely free-flowing from New York State to the confluence with the Allegheny River.
The Hospital Dam in the creek near Warren State Hospital has been creating dangerous currents for kayakers and canoers. It is being removed by American Rivers in partnership with the Conewango Creek Watershed Association, the state Department of Environmental Protection, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Ohio River Basin Fish Habitat Partnership.
Bearan Environmental Services from Butler County is removing the dam with an excavator.

Both the dams are rock-filled timber crib dams, which means you make a lattice, almost like a log cabin with the logs and then you put rocks inside for stability," Lisa Hollingsworth-Segedy, associate director of American Rivers Restoration Program, said on Tuesday. "...we pulled out the timbers and then redistributed the rock, so the rock is staying in the stream as part of the stream bed."
The same process is being repeated for the Hospital Dam, which also has a concrete cap that has to be removed.
The timber in the creek is probably 200 years old, Hollingsworth-Segedy estimated, and has been preserved by the water. Local woodworkers are set to take the logs after they have been removed.
"So rather than throwing it away...it's going to become furniture or other works of art," she said. "Because it's been totally submerged its perfectly preserved."
The removal of the dam builds on the earlier removal of the Carter Dam near the confluence of the Conewango Creek and the Allegheny River in 2009.
"Removing that dam was important, but it didn't do all the work the Conewango Creek needed," Hollingsworth-Segedy said, "since these two structures were still in place. So now with these structures gone the Conewango Creek is going to be completely free flowing from the headwaters in New York all the way to the intersection of the Allegheny River."
The project should be complete next week in time for the Allegheny River Clean-up, but Hollingsworth-Segedy said they have already removed a number of shopping carts and other items during the project. When the dam removal is complete they re-grade and re-seed any surfaces they've disturbed, she said.
"As we're finding things in the river we're pulling them out, so we're kind of doing a little advance clean-up work to help out," she said.
