Savute Under Canvas
Savute Under Canvas offers an authentic mobile-camping experience, without forgoing many of the comforts of a semi-permanent tented camp. The camp utilises a number of different private campsites in the Savuti area of Chobe National Park, moving every five days in accordance with national park regulations.

Our view of Savute Under Canvas
Savute Under Canvas suits those seeking an adventurous, yet very comfortable, mobile-camping experience. The service, food and guiding are typically excellent, run by an experienced and hospitable team. It's more economical than many of Botswana's permanent safari camps, particularly during the peak season from June to October. You can expect good game viewing, with the highest concentration of wildlife. Conversely, national park restrictions preclude night drives, guided walks and off-roading) and you can get crowding of vehicles at noteworthy sightings. However we think Savute Under Canvas is a terrific option for those wanting something a bit different from Botswana's luxury and permanent accommodation – we loved it!

Satrina is a lovely woman that will always be smiling and helpful.
The room is a little bit smaller than it seems to be on the pictures but large enough for two persons. Do not hesitate to book!
It truly is a lovely room. Satrina is a wonderful hostess that wants to ensure you have a nice stay. She was always available to answer any questions or offer help, and we saw her every morning as we were leaving. I can highly recommend this room!
We were in Utrecht only for two nights and Satrina was very hospitable!
She was a fantastic person. Room was really nice, cozy and very clean and three cats were not so curious!
We had a really great time!!
Satrina and Andre are lovely people who are always ready to help. Without them our trip would have been much poorer. You can't get bored with them as they have so many interesting things to tell you about and helpful advices to give. The apartment was very clean and we were given fresh towels every three days. There were even beautiful cut flowers in the vase on the table which enchanted my wife. The important thing is that the apartament is situated very close to the city center in pleasant and quiet neighbourhood. The room is bright and comfortable. We highly recommend Satrina and Andre for hosts. You won't regret it.
We've been at Satrina's accommodation with my girlfriend, we could easily negotiate and agree about every details and issues about our arrival. But when we've arrived, we were surprised in a very positive way: as cozy and comfortable the apartment looks like, as well it feels like to be over there! Satrina is a very kind person who's very easy to talk to, she welcomed us very warmly and she was keen about us and ready to help in every kind of question and situation. Her cats are cute and made us feel like really at home, they give the flat a very friendly feeling! The room is light, the apartment is very well-equipped and comfortable, it was just simply perfect for a 2 night stay over there. Moreover, it's much more personal and characteristic then a usual accommodation/hotelroom, so we'd recommend with pleasure for everyone who'd like to visit and discover the beautiful city of Utrecht! It was a really awesome trip, still missing that feeling so also in this way we'd like to say a huge thanks to Satrina for her kindness and hospitality! :)
Our stay with satrina was a very pleasant stay. The room itself was very nice, with a good view from the balcony. The bathroom facilities were also a very good standard. The only two minor downsides are that the room is up two flights of steep Dutch stairs, which wasn't a problem for two 21 year olds like ourselves but something to keep in mind. Also, through my own ignorance I hadn't realised there were cats in the house. They are very friendly but unfortunately I have allergies so I did struggle a bit.
The location is great, with a plus supermarket only a 4 minute walk and the town centre a 10 minute walk away. If you want to stay in Utrecht I would definitely recommend staying here with satrina.
The room was fantastic. Airy, clean and well kitted out, with a bathroom next door. Beautiful area next to one of the city canals. Complimentary easter eggs and extra tea from the lovely and attentive hosts. Much recommended.
Perfect Location, quiet and safe area 10 minutes walking from the city centre. Nice and typical Dutch house and very helpful the owner Satrina to answer to any questions you'd like to ask her. I think I will come back there when in Utrecht.
Totally a place I would go again. Satrina offered us to use kitchen, dining room and of course the bath room, too, besides our room. She is very friendly and she and her husband have decorated their home so nicely, it is really unique and beautiful. When I was there they had two cute little kittens which I found even more positive about the place. Which is also special is that there´s tea in your room and several books and maps around and about Utrecht. Besides, Utrecht as such is such a cute town, really great. And the costs for the room a totally worth it. Enjoy!
This cosy room in a lovely old Dutch terrace house became our happy home for 4 days. We only planned to stay for 2 nights but we fell in love with Utrecht and living in Satrina's delightfully decorated place made us feel right at home. Boats park in the gracht just across the road, and the ancient centre of the old town is only 10 minutes walk away. We loved the relaxed and friendly ambience of the city and would visit again for sure. Thanks Satrina and Andre for welcoming us so warmly.

Notes & Reviews:
An excellent violinist and violist, Fiorillo was also a soloist on the mandolin as well as a pedagogue. His Etude pour le violon formant 36 caprices are still well known among violin students today, while harpists practice his seventy-two exercises for harp. In the late 1790s, Fiorillo printed his own six quartets for flute, violin, viola, and cello, possibly modelled on those of Françoise-Andrè Philidor.

The party's over on the MAX Green Line. Now, let the daily slog begin.
At least there's plenty of room to sit and stretch - for now.
Unlike the weekend grand opening, when thousands stood shoulder to shoulder for free rides on TriMet's new light-rail line, passengers on the first weekday commute had their choice of seats Monday morning.
Riders were greeted by nearly empty trains, wide open park-and-ride lots and, in one case, a generous fare machine that seemed programed to spit out coins instead of tickets.
Go to the Hard Drive commuting blog to read the full story of the Green Line's inaugural rush hour and to comment.

He also has a hot babe in Minka Kelly and a $7.7 million manse in Tampa, Fla.
And, of course, he plays shortstop for the New York Yankees, so life is good.
Christian Lopez seems to be a nice guy -- and I believe he did the right thing by returning hit 3000 without holding Jeter hostage.
But, the Yankees shouldn't get off so easy.
Since the 23-year-old did the right thing, the Bombers should do the same.
Forget tickets for the rest of the season. As my boss noted, the Yanks should give Lopez season tickets for life.
And if Derek wants to get involved, maybe he can let Lopez crash at his 22,000 square foot, seven-bedroom, nine bathroom Tampa manse for awhile, you know, until he gets his feet on the ground.
There's certainly enough room.
The spread is so big, neither Derek nor Minka will even bump into the cell phone salesman.

The first leg of the Three Passes trek winds up the Dudh Kosi valley through terraced foothills and riverside villages. In early April, the apple trees, dogwood, and rhododendron are in full bloom. Prayer flags hang from the eaves of houses, draped to nearby fir trees. Stupas (dome-shaped Buddhist shrines), prayer wheels, and long stacks of mani stone tablets etched with the Buddhist mantra, om mani padme hum, dot the trail.
At Namche Bazaar, the trading center of the Khumbu region, the Three Passes route branches off into the quiet, arid Bhote Kosi valley. We climb gradually to Thame, the boyhood home of Tenzing Norgay and Apa Sherpa (who later in the season climbs Everest for a record 21st time). Despite the smattering of lodges, the town feels untouched by time or outsiders; its potato fields and grazing yak and dzo (yak/cow hybrid) herds and slate-roofed stone houses probably looked no different 200 years ago. We're the only foreigners at the 344-year-old monastery above the village, set into the side of Sumdur Peak with a breathtaking view down the valley. In the dim prayer hall, the walls are painted with rich and lurid scenes from Buddhist lore. In the stone yard out front, a monk dances and sways across the yard with a young boy on his feet. Another shows us a steel oxygen bottle stamped with the year 1953, which the monks use as a dinner gong.
The next day, Dawa saves us from our temporary bushwhacking session on the way to Lungde. He knows the way, it turns out, and I can't deny I'm relieved to be in a warm teahouse rather than out wandering in the cold and dark. After a fitful sleep at what amounts to camping atop a Fourteener, we get up at first light and eat a double breakfast of omelets and fried rice to prep for our first big pass: 17,500-foot Renjo La. It's only a seven-mile, 3,300-foot day—a piece of cake closer to sea level, but a thousand feet below the top, the altitude kicks in. The 50 pounds in my pack feel like 100.
By the time we crest the rocky, prayer-flag-draped pass, clouds have descended on the peaks above us, and the skyline I've seen pictures of—Everest, perfectly framed above the turquoise Gokyo Lake, over a sawtooth range of giants like Cholatse and Taboche—is lost in the milk. We're in no condition to linger anyway. Leah feels like there's a nail in her forehead. My head is stuffed with cotton. Even Dawa looks a little glazed. We stumble down the crumbling trail to 15,582-foot Gokyo, overlooking the frozen glacial lake, and spend the night slurping garlic soup (some say it helps with altitude) and black tea in a lodge warmed by a yak-dung stove.
The high village is perched in a magnificent setting, and we decide to spend a few days here. On a cloudy afternoon, we sit by the edge of the Ngozumpa Glacier, listening to it crack and grumble, stones tumbling down its retreating flanks. When the skies clear, we take side trips to high vistas—catching sunrise on the way up to the 17,519-foot overlook of Gokyo Peak, where we meet one of the local lodge owners stringing a line of prayer flags in the rocks. I ask him how often he comes up here. "Every day," he responds, beaming proudly. Every day? I repeat, skeptically. We're 2,000 feet above town. "Every morning," he insists. He and a friend jump between rocks, stringing up the five-colored flags. Behind him, dozens and dozens of lines of old, fading flags snake away along the ridge, frosted with rime in the 25°F morning air.
The next morning, Dawa takes us on a side trip up the Gokyo valley. We walk several miles along the glacier toward the enormous crystal pyramid of Cho Oyu, the world's sixth highest peak, and then veer off the trail, sidehilling for a couple of hours up faint yak paths to a stunning surprise: a private view of Everest. The cloud-caped pyramid looks like a black shark fin above the fluted peaks around it. Most of the Everest overlooks around the Khumbu are jammed with snapshot-mad trekkers. We sit by ourselves and watch the clouds swirling around the summit.
My misgivings about hiring a porter have been eroding, and the spectacular, private view eliminates any shred of doubt. We might have managed to follow the Three Passes route with some trial and error, but we never would have found our way here. And knowing the right trails and secret overlooks are just two of the ways Dawa keeps adding to our trip. His help is not only practical, like catching snippets of gossip as we hike, thus learning that a big commercial group is up ahead and rooms are short. But it's also meaningful, like when he bridges the cultural gap, breaking the ice with monks and locals we meet along the trail. He gently corrects my cross-cultural faux paux—like asking a young Nepali woman porter how much her load weighs (a social no-no that made her blush with embarrassment).
Knowing my interest in Tibetan Buddhism, Dawa gets me an invite to watch the private prayer ceremony of the family running one of the lodges we stay in. I enter a room with an elaborate Buddhist shrine—an intricately painted wall of drawers and cubbies anchored by a Buddha and 14 silver bowls of water. The air is filled with the smoke of smoldering juniper branches and incense. I watch a young woman perform a ritual refilling of the water bowls, and make an offering of incense in an ornate copper censer. She bows and prostrates several times in a way that's both casual and elaborate. I ask her how often she performs the ceremony, and should have expected the reply: "Every morning."
Dawa thinks my interest in Buddhism is funny, and starts calling me "lama," Tibetan for priest, and cracks himself up—flashing his broad, gap-toothed smile—every time he says it. But he isn't without faith. Dawa passes every stupa and mani stone pile to the left in a sign of respect, even when he has to walk well out of his way to do so, and after a few days I find myself following his example, even when he isn't around.

The rig crew member in charge of monitoring danger alarms on the Deepwater Horizon testified Tuesday that the rig's general alarm didn't sound until after the first explosion rocked the rig April 20.
Yancy Keplinger, who controlled the Transocean rig's computer-based navigation system, said he saw mud spraying out of a line over the edge of the rig before any gas detectors went off. He was testifying before the Deepwater Horizon joint investigation into the explosion that killed 11 crew members and spilled hundreds of millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
Asked whether he would have expected an alarm to sound when the mud shot out, Keplinger said,
"Yes ... because the only thing that could come up from the hole is either gas or oil." He also said that gas detectors should have signaled before the explosion, but didn't. Those detectors are designed to trigger an emergency shut-down system to suck oxygen away from ignition sources, which also didn't happen.
A few moments later, Keplinger's colleague, Andrea Fleytas, got a call from the drill floor saying that they were fighting to control oil and gas in the well and an explosion rang out that made it clear that gas had shot up to the rig and ignited on board.
Only after a second explosion did Keplinger start "to receive gas alarms on the fire and gas system," he said, his voice cracking from the intensity of recalling the harrowing experience. "I started to pull up the fire and gas (monitors) in the shell shakers. I noticed a lot of gas in there and called the shell shakers. I wanted to get the person or persons out of there. I didn't get no response."
Over the course of the last five months, Marine Board investigators have heard testimony that key alarms and safety systems were inhibited, a status in which they recorded dangers by computer, but wouldn't sound. Keplinger said he wasn't aware of that, but that the rig's general alarm was set for manual control on the bridge.
It wouldn't be triggered automatically by multiple zone alarms going off, he said.
A technician on the rig, Mike Williams, testified previously that he'd been told rig leaders didn't want the general alarm going off falsely in the middle of the night.
Part of Keplinger and Fleytas' duties was to monitor indicators of gas detectors and alarms from the bridge. Keplinger was busy showing visiting BP and Transocean officials a video-game-style simulator for 45 minutes to an hour before the explosions, he said, but he insisted that Fleytas was keeping him abreast of readouts of the rig's systems.
Keplinger flashed some anger at Capt. Curt Kuchta, captain of the Deepwater Horizon rig, during his testimony. He noted that a fellow rig worker, Chris Pleasant, had to ask Kuchta three times whether to disconnect the rig from the wellhead before he got the go-ahead.
Then Keplinger described the scene as he and the captain helped lower people on a life raft.
"Before it went down it was just me and the captain up there. He told a person not to worry about him and the life raft went down. So, I was kind of disgusted. I wanted to get in the life raft. I had no choice but to jump," said Keplinger, who at that point required a break in his testimony to regain his composure.
Keplinger later said Kuchta told a group of crew members who looked to him for guidance during the evacuation, "I don't know about you, but I'm going to jump."
"I would have expected more from a person of that caliber, that position," Keplinger testified.
During the testimony, a lawyer for the captain accused the chairman of a federal joint investigation panel of being biased against his client and demanded that he recuse himself.
Coast Guard Capt. Hung Nguyen asked Keplinger if he thought Kuchta should have stayed behind at the scene 50 miles off the Louisiana coast while there was an active search and rescue operation for 11 missing rig workers.
Before Keplinger had a chance to respond, lawyers representing Kuchta and rig owner Transocean lodged objections. Kuchta's lawyer, Kyle Schonekas was irate.
"This is part of Capt. Nguyen's repeated efforts to character assassinate my client," Schonekas said. "I further move that Capt. Nguyen recuse himself because it exhibits his bias against Capt. Kuchta."
Nguyen said he was simply trying to establish a record of what he called the "safety culture" on the Deepwater Horizon. Schonekas said he'd been tracking Nguyen's comments about Kuchta and could show a pattern of bias.
Nguyen has focused on the management structure on the rig and has said it seemed nobody was in charge amid the emergency situation. The Transocean policy is that a rig is run by its captain when it's making way, but the top drilling official, the offshore installation manager, is in control when the rig is latched onto a well. Nguyen is wont to point out that the explosion of the well made it difficult to determine when control had been tacitly transferred from the OIM back to Kuchta.

Pirate soccer ends season among top eight in state
The Vashon High School boys soccer team achieved the distinction of being one of the top eight teams in the state, participating last weekend in state quarter-finals for the first time in six years.
The Pirates' season finished after being knocked out of state competition on Saturday, May 19, by the Overlake Owls, 4-1.
The Pirates had a stellar season with an overall record of 13 wins, five losses and one tie. The team's Nisqually League record was nine wins, two losses and one tie. The league record includes a loss to Seattle Christian and a forfeit to Cascade Christian due to player ineligibility.
Out of four post-season games, Vashon played the undefeated Owls twice in a challenging week of state qualifier and quarter-final competition.
Earlier in the week at State playoffs in Centralia, Vashon beat Rochester High, 3-1, with one goal by Ezra Koening and two credited to Victor Moreira.
Vashon fans packed the bleachers Saturday in Redmond to watch the Pirates battle Overlake, whose roster includes a talented forward who also plays for the Seattle Sounders' academy team. Quickly after the start, Overlake's forward scored three goals. Defender Sean O'Neil broke out from the back, exchanging passes with Koenig and pushed past the defense to score the goal for Vashon in the 33rd minute.
During the second half, Pirate defenders Jesse Hazzard and Jesse Turner contained Overlake's several attacks while midfielder Nick Gass won many air balls with his agility and height. Midfielder Van Ralston worked hard, finding himself surrounded many times, but was still able to win balls and break out. Jacob Gateman and Chris Cirillo relieved players who were injured and held strong with the rest of the team.
Younger talent on the field was displayed by midfielders Austin Heit and Shane Bedard. They covered well in the second half and kept attempts on Vashon's goal limited, and the team was not outmatched.
A final goal for Overlake occurred in the 72nd minute from a defensive error resulting in elimination for Vashon.
Coach Paul Beytebiere said after the game that he was proud of the successes of the season and the way the team battled.
This year Pirates say goodbye to the starting talent of varsity seniors Jesse Turner, Jesse Hazzard, Nick Gass and Ezra Koenig, as well as exchange students Victor Moreira and Chris Cirillo. Looking to the future, the Pirates will keep freshman midfielder Austin Heit, sophomore midfielders Jack Benner, Shane Beddard and Peter Amick, goalie Philip VanDevanter, as well as juniors Sean O'Neil, Van Ralston and Matt Swope.
— Karen O'Neil is a longtime VHS soccer volunteer.
Alumni soccer game
The annual Pirate alumni soccer game will be held at noon on Saturday, June 2, at Vashon High School. A potluck barbecue will follow the game.

Johnson City parks in need of overhaul
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - Johnson City's Department of Parks and Recreation says it needs to make improvements to the park system.
According to Parks and Rec Director, Roger Blakeley some of the playgrounds are over 50-years-old. He says that's where the biggest need is right now.
One idea is to make the playgrounds more modern and age appropriate.
He also says all of their ball fields are at full capacity. One solution Blakeley says would be to replace some of those with field turf. "Soccer, lacrosse, rugby, field hockey...all of those by adding synthetic fields you're able to put three or four times the amount of play on the fields. You won't have weather restrictions because the synthetics are able to take the water and move them quicker."
Another problem the city is facing is the Legion Street Pool. Blakeley tells us it's 60-years old and will only last one more year.

Bristol Palin says son, 3, did not use anti-gay slur
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
your son said Faggot love
So she's blaming the papers for reporting on her son, although she is the dumb sk@nk who puts him on the bloody television in the first place. He says a word beginning with "f", a word we have heard HER say and it is beeped.
Constantly bloody martyr syndrome. If she doesn't want people to talk about her young son, don't put him on the damned television to make a living.
Absolutely agree. The dumb trash is too stupid to realise that the use of either word, coupled with her failure to deal with it appropriately, and her need to broadcast her tawdry life to the world really re-enforces the fact that she is dumb trashy.
Are the Palin's so desperate for money that they have to sell themselves like this? The Osbournes freely admit they were stone broke when they opened up their lives. Is it the same for the Palin clan?
I suspect this telling insight into life Palin was only included to court controversy and boost ratings.
I'm sure it has, and as a result further chipped away at their dignity.
What dignity?
How about instead of taking the word of the delightful bigot and someone involved directly with the show the footage is released for everyone to see and hear? Wouldn't that be a quick and easy answer?
Whatever. Trash.
I will not be lectured about anything by a teenage fornicating tramp who gave birth to a baby out of wedlock. That's in addition to thinking that whatever "F" word that ill-mannered child used, he learned it from his uneducated, shiftless mother (or perhaps his equally shifty grandmother).
yeap she had fornicated out of wedlock – Levitcus says she should die too (spiritually allegedly) in the same passage that condemns gays.
"I do oppose gay marriage, as I've written about before… I guess the temptation to label my three year old son is just too great for the lefty papers to resist."
Because right-wingers NEVER EVER use "the children" as an excuse?
"I do oppose gay marriage, as I've written about before… I guess the temptation to label my three year old son is just too great for the lefty papers to resist."
Sweetheart children are not born bigots…it's their parenting and peers who do this!!! Ergo…you're a bigot and so you are creating another one!
What a pathetic, fame hungry homophobe Bristol Palin is. She wasn't concerned about using her own child in her tv show yet now she's all protective of him? What a poor excuse for a mother, but then her own mother isn't much better.
The sad story here is that you are against equality Bristol. Your son can throw whatever words at the whole World, but that coming from a toddler, compared to the asinine opinions of an adult, are practically negligible.
Like mother like daughter. Its what you get when you allow inferior genes to breed with inbreeds.
""I do oppose gay marriage, as I've written about before…"
But a child out of wedlock, that's okay with you christian freaks?
The hypocrisy is bordering on the psychotic.
"Let me be clear. I'm not proud of what he did say. Sadly, he used a different 'f word.'"
So let's be clear you did say "Sadly!" so in reality you would have preferred he actually have said it?
Sad thing is she get a substantial paycheck for this BS!
No, she meant 'Sadly, he used another bad word.' As in she wished he said neither word.
If The Advocate is agreeing with this, then we should probably move back to educating her about why opposing gay marriage is bigoted.
She is from Alaska! Get over it! A living version of 'Dumb and Dumber'!
What has the world come to when the knocked up daughter of a onetime governor of the least populated place in America's son may have said the word Faggot or not becomes news.
Please people stop printing this rubbish, it only serves to fuel the fire of hate and ignorance that the Palin's live in.
Sounds to be that she is backtracking. She should be shocked that her 3 year old son is knows and speaks hateful words. She should be wondering where he learned that word from and be giving him into trouble.
from his aunty that also used the word "faggot" on a public facebook page to someone they knew who criticised their reality show.
i have to wonder if this whole bit is worth discussing at all. it doesn't seem as if it's worth airtime or our time.
Please, no more Palins, one is more than enough.

The Laiki Agoras, or what we would call Farmer's Markets, of Kypseli are among the busiest and best in Athens. Farmers come from the countryside to sell their fruits, vegetables, eggs and other products directly to the customer at lower prices than the supermarkets. There is a market on Tuesday which begins at the top of Fokionos Negri and goes down Lelas Karagianni all the way to Patission Avenue, and the market that most of these photos are from which for four
months is on Sporadon and Tinos streets and
then moves to Hydra Street, starting at Platia Georgiou. On Saturdays there is an organic market held in the Demotiki Agora on Fokionos Negri. These photos were taken in January and February of 2009. Click on the photos to see them full size. When you finish click to return to Kypseli Index

Familiar Foe Awaits Penn State Mont Alto in Men's PSUAC Championship
Here we go again.
For the third time season, Penn State-Mont Alto and PSU-York will share the hardwood, although tonight's stage is a bit more grand.
Jack Schenzel and his hard-chargers from Mont Alto (22-4) will entertain the program's first trip to the Penn State University Athletic Conference title game at Bryce Jordan Center. Tip off is 8 p.m. against rival and top-seeded York (23-2), attempting to claim its second straight PSUAC championship.
A sizable chunk of former Mid-Penn standouts has made this trek possible for Mont Alto. Leading scorer (13.2 ppg.) Jerome Evans, a 6-5 freshman forward, starred at Carlisle. Chambersburg product Devonte Merritt, a 6-7 sophomore, is posting 11.1 points and 8.2 rebounds per outing. [Continue reading here.]

Juraj Valcuha may be the least known of guest artists visiting the New Jersey Performing Arts Center to perform classical concerts — but he is unlikely to stay under the radar for long.
Valcuha is the chief conductor of the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI. This season and the season past have included debuts with the Berlin Philharmonic, the San Francisco Symphony and the Filarmonica della Scala in Milan, among many other prestigious ensembles.
Making his debut with the New York Philharmonic at Avery Fisher Hall on Wednesday, the Slovakian conductor led up to his promise with a sense of discipline that allowed details of familiar but demanding works to come through as well as generous sentiment in a program that called for it. The concert will be repeated Friday at NJPAC.
The program opened with a sparkling rendition of Weber's "Oberon" Overture. Valcuha's movements were sharp and precise and he bounced up onto his toes as he and the orchestra seemed to brim with good-humored energy. The sound was luxurious and round, and the performers fully engaged.
Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 paired the young conductor with the veteran pianist André Watts, who is celebrating his 50th-anniversary season since his debut with the orchestra at age 16. Although there were no real surprises about the performance from an interpretive standpoint, Watts upheld his status as one of the instrument's most beloved performers and fans should not be disappointed.
Pianist and conductor were both attuned to the music's rhythmic core even as it grew gushy and fraught. The anthemic music of the first movement was played with full-blooded tone and Watts' command of virtuoso material was a marvel throughout the work. Also among the highlights of the performance was a passage in which delicate winds interlaced with the piano. In a work that offers many opportunities for an over-the-top performance, Valcuha and Watts saved the fullest playing and swooning rubato for the moments that would have the greatest effect.
Richard Strauss' Fantasie from the opera "Die Frau ohne Schatten," the one relative obscurity on the program, sounded no less thought out and authoritative than the more expected pieces. From the sonorous vibrations of the low brass that opened the work onward, and the orchestra conveyed urgency and attention to style.
Angelic winds and then a rich ensemble build on a simple, wistful melody led into music festooned with embellishments — descending rivulets, chiming sounds, all sorts of flourishes. Valcuha maintained an unbroken but dynamic stream of sound that bloomed, brightened and deepened until vigorous ascending whirls built to a voluminous, quaking apex.
In the same composer's "Der Rosenkavalier" Suite, the sweeping phrases and momentum that Valcuha encouraged throughout the concert reached their height. He could be said to have strong-armed the orchestra as he whipped them into a frenzy — and seemed to be enjoying that the Philharmonic can be driven hard without nearing a breaking point.
But the Suite bears out such treatment, as it stretches the opera's high points into even greater grandeur. Solos were impressive throughout. From its lively waltz to its soaring trio, Valcuha honored the spirit of the work.
The character and controlled abandon he cultivated throughout the opera-heavy concert, made one want to hear what he would do with a full production — and to hope that he would soon appear at a certain neighboring Lincoln Center institution.

DC Debit Card Fraud
(1/7) > >>
Hey fellow AMG'ers.I got hit with some fraudulent charges to the tune of about $2100 while at AMG. >:(Spoke to my bank and a VA. detective and they believe my Visa Debit card number was "skimmed" while in DC.The detective said they have uncovered recent ops in DC whereby waiters or restaraunt staff skims the card number + the CSV code and then sell the info to people all over the world. those people can then make a new card and new ID in a matter of days...then go on shopping sprees. My fraudulent charges were made in a Marion, Ohio Walmart $800 (really?), Gamestop $600, and smaller amounts at Meijer stores. The thugs are getting brazen nowadays cause all these charges were counter and not online.Anyways, Detective recommends everyone in my group check their accounts line by line, because sometimes the crooks will only do very small charges across several accounts to avoid detection.and yes, my bank has given me temp credits until I go in today to fill out all the fraud papers, and I should get all charges reversed back to me within a week or so. Thank goodness.-Will
Will,I'm so sorry to hear that someone stole your debit card number. I know this is a big hassle. At least both the bank and law enforcement have been helpful.$600 at Gamestop? ???Hugs,Henry
I found out in San Francisco back in '07 when I could not withdraw money on my debit card that I was expected to call the bank before I left for vacation to indicate I was going away. Banks even have automated telephone prompts where you type in the dates you will be away. But it could be a good idea to speak to a representative and also state where you will be on those dates.Debit cards are good for cash withdrawls but credit cards should be used for purchases, etc. as you have more rights (not to pay for fraudulent charges) if your credit card is used. Glad things will be Ok with your account Will.Jody
Interesting....When I got home that Tuesday, I received a call from Chase about some suspected fraud on my credit card -- the one I used all thru AMG. Someone tried to buy some software in the Netherlands -- Chase saw that I had been in DC and thought it might not be me.That was the only "hit" I know about and they overnighted me a new card with a new number..................Mike

"For over two decades the Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport has been a regular destination for our flight department. Over the years our crews have appreciated the continually evolving facilities and highly professional service provided by the airport staff. It is always a pleasure to see SHD listed on our flight schedule."

"On April 5, 2005 PHI Air Medical placed in service the 5th base in Virginia. The success of our operation is significantly attributed to the Shenandoah Valley Airport and the Airport Commission. Immediately the airport staff accepted us into their family. Their relationship between PHI Air Medical and the Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport is one that most patrons only dream of developing. Saying it is a pleasure to be a patron of SHD would be a significant understatement - we have made this one of our homes."
Brett Henyon
Base Medical Supervisor | PHI-Air Medical
"It is my pleasure to recognize FBO service that went well above and beyond. My wife and I flew in for JMU [James Madison University] Parents Weekend activities and our humble rented Arrow received biz-jet attention from the staff... In 27 years of traveling the world in Navy P-3 Orions, and in my limited general aviation experience, I have had no better service than that provided at SHD. Our daughter is in her first year at JMU, so we look forward to many more pleasant trips to your airport."

Stories Don't End
What impresses most about Griffin Goldsmith is his maturity– the patient pulse and tasty tones on Dawes' Stories Don't End are reminiscent of understated '70s greats like Helm and Henley. The young drummer exhibits a keen command of feel, evidenced on album opener "Just Beneath The Surface," which ambles along to a pleasant march on Goldsmith's supple snare. He wisely refuses to clutter the tight pocket of "From A Window Seat" with fills, opting to stick to the driving eighths that propel the song ever forward (though he does drop a slick military-style break in the song's delightful and dynamic bridge). Goldsmith's warm, wide-open kick drum pushes gentle air through the pregnant pauses of "Most People," a spacious number that sports an infectious, head-bobbing bounce, while his sparsely placed cymbal crashes explode and expand gloriously amidst pounding tom-work in "From The Right Angle," which receives a nice chorus lift from pushing, upbeat hi-hat accents. Goldsmith proves that less can definitely be more, especially when such close attention is paid to sonic and stylistic nuance.
Quick Licks
"Side Effects"
Dawes Drummer Griffin Goldsmith creates some tasty yet fairly subdued drum parts that make the songs much more interesting. For the intro to this tune he cleverly creates a faux waltz feel within the time signature of 4/4. He phrases the eighth-notes in two groups of three accenting the & of 2 and 4. The unusual verse groove uses a pianissimo sixteenth hand-to-hand snare pattern with strategic bass and snare drum accents to maintain that feel.

I would never purchase an expensive wine that come without e real cork!!!!
Tasting Notes
The 2009 RWT Shiraz was aged for 14 months in 70% new French oak hogsheads. The winery describes its style as opulent and fleshy compared to Grange's muscular and assertive personality. Opaque purple in color, it offers aromas of Asian spices, beef juice, toast, blueberry, and licorice. Rich, fleshy, and round, it has plenty of underlying tannin, impeccable balance, and a long, pure finish.
Technical Notes
Penfolds RWT Shiraz presents an admirable alternative to the multi-regional sourcing and American oak maturation that are hallmarks of Grange, expressing instead, single-region Barossa Valley Shiraz matured only in French oak. The initials RWT stand for 'Red Winemaking Trial', the name given to the project internally when developmental work began in 1995. Naturally, now no longer a 'Trial' !
RWT Shiraz was launched in May 2000 with the 1997 vintage. Its style is opulent and fleshy, contrasting with Grange, which is more muscular and assertive. RWT is made from fruit primarily selected for its aromatic qualities and fine texture rather than sheer intensity or power of flavour. The result is a wine that helps to re- define Barossa Shiraz at the highest quality level.

Its time to start focusing on the playoffs and our potential roadblocks to Banner 18. Every day we'll bring you what's making news in enemy territory. This way we know what they're up to when it comes time to take 'em out.
ESPN Chicago: The 22-year-old point guard proved that one more time on Tuesday night. After blowing a 17-point lead in an 83-80 loss on March 2 in Atlanta, Rose made sure the Bulls didn't make the same mistake twice. Chicago blitzed the Hawks from the outset and didn't let its foot off the gas this time with a 114-81 victory. Rose, who played poorly in the Bulls' loss that particular contest, finished with 30 points, 10 assists and four rebounds. He shot 6-of-8 from beyond the 3-point arc.
Blog a Bull: This season there's been impressive wins, and even similar drubbings. Heck, one just last night. But this was a team playing on a back-to-back, on the road, against a playoff caliber team. And the Bulls put on an absolute clinic.
Heat Index: The Heat are the only team in the NBA in the top five in both offensive and defensive efficiency, and they have three players capable of taking over a game at any time with little help from their teammates. (Insert your own caveats about Bosh, who seems to have re-found his game recently.) They also have a harem of other players who are fully capable of being keys to victory or complete non-factors on a given night. Depending on which role players are making the biggest impact, the Heat are capable of taking on a completely different identity on any given night. Believers will call this versatility; skeptics will call it a lack of identity. We won't know which it is until the playoffs are over.
Hot Hot Hoops: Come playoff time, it is typical for teams to pare their rotation down to eight or nine players, an exercise that will be difficult for the Heat. One particular position that hasn't been talked about broadly, but should, is that of the bench swingman. For the first 40 games or so, James Jones filled the role capably. Lately, however, it has been Mike Miller garnering all of the minutes. In comparing the two, there are numerous statistics indicating that the Heat may be giving these important minutes to the wrong player.
Orlando Magic Daily: the Magic are confident (at least in their words to the press) they will be ready once the postseason begins. I tend to agree that Orlando will up its level of play, focus and intensity once the games start really counting. The only problem is that everyone else — at least the Chicagos, Bostons and Miamis of the league — will do that too. It is an uneasy place for Orlando to be in as the team is still very much working its way toward the consistency the team has come to recognize the past three years.
Sentinel: Smith wants to see Arenas create waves in Orlando by challenging Jameer Nelson for the starting point-guard job next season — or even seizing it from Nelson. This scenario sounds far-fetched now, given Gilbert's struggles since arriving in a mid-December trade. "I'm OK with having a controversy with players fighting for a job," Smith said. "That's a good problem to have. I'll deal with that issue."
3 Shades of Blue: Tony Allen. This guy, right now, is the undisputed leader of the Grizzlies. The absurd level of energy, the hops (no one's thinking about his weak knees anymore, are they??!?!?), the towel-waving when he's not in the game, the urging on of the crowd..this guy is doing his very best to help drag this young team to an even higher position in the conference. Everyone from Conley, to the coaches, to even the broadcasters, seems to recognize Allen's do-or-die-tryin' attitude and its importance to the Griz. He didn't have quite the stat-packed game this night as a couple other recent ones, but his example of how to close out to Utah's shooters rubbed off on OJ and Sam Young enough to choke off what can be a rather potent 3point attack for the Jazz.
Biggest must-win since the spring of 2006? Yes. Couldn't be more thrilled. One of two on the upcoming BOS/CHI roadtrip? Heck, let's go for two. The Griz have embarrassed the Celts in BOS before, no reason they can't do it again. I think we'd all agree that it's time for CHI to lose one at home, huh? As Tony Allen might say…"LET'S GET IT GRIZZ".
OC Register: It was a definite feel-good moment for the Lakers. They weren't going to win a championship just by beating a likely lottery team, but by winning this game they sure looked like a team that is going to win a championship.
Forum Blue And Gold: All-in-all, this was a good win for the Lakers. They survived the Bynum suspension with two wins — two tough wins that they had to gut out in the final minutes. Thankfully, they don't play again until Friday against the Clippers.
Project Spurs: The Spurs (57-13), already have clinched a playoff berth and own a big lead in the West will play without Duncan who landed awkwardly after scoring early in the first quarter Monday night and did not return in a 111-96 win over the Golden State Warriors. An MRI taken on Tuesday confirmed he sprained his left ankle. Duncan will stay in San Antonio for rehabilitation during the team's three-game road trip that begins tonight, but the Spurs are unsure how much time he will miss.
Project Spurs: As you all know, last week I had an opportunity to speak with basketball great Bill Walton in New York City at a basketball round table. […] during the roundtable I had an opportunity to get his thoughts on which teams will make it to the 2011 NBA Finals. Check out the video of Walton answering my question and what he thinks about the Spurs chances coming out of the West.
Mavs Moneyball: Nowitzki has come a long way from the one rebound performance against the Suns, but he knows that he needs to bring more to the table to help his team out as the second season is approaching. Over the course of 103 playoff games as a member of the Mavericks, Nowitzki has averaged 10.3 rebounds/game in the playoffs, well above his career average of 8.4 rebounds/game. "I've got to rebound better, especially coming down towards the playoffs when we see the big teams," Nowitzki said. "If we see Memphis, they've got some big boys. Portland plays a bunch of big guys. New Orleans has (Emeka) Okafur and (David) West, so all of these teams down there are big. I've got to find a way to get some rebounds."
ESPN Dallas: Jason Kidd turns 38 today and he's just thankful he hasn't had to play that many minutes on most nights. "Some nights I feel a little bit older than 38," Kidd said. "But, I feel great physically. I do feel good. Coach [Rick Carlisle] has kept my minutes down."
News OK: The Thunder's season-long, six-game winning streak ended at the hands of Toronto on Sunday night. But Oklahoma City is 17-5 in games following a loss. That .773 winning percentage trails only San Antonio (12-1) in games immediately following a loss."The only thing I can think of is just the competitive spirit of our guys," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said when asked to explain how his team has responded to defeats. "They look at losses as a missed opportunity and they go into the next game with the mentality to make up for that loss. That's a great mindset to have.

By the time Nick Saban began constructing his list of priorities for his sixth full recruiting class at Alabama, it was becoming difficult to find a spot on the Crimson Tide's roster that was in desperate need of an infusion of young talent.
So far, the 2013 recruiting cycle for Saban and his staff has been about finding the best available players at any position from just about anywhere in the country. A quick glance at the Tide's 18 current commitments won't show much of a trend in either position or geography among Alabama's 2013 class.
That strategy could change, however, depending on the decisions of a few of the Tide's current players after the season. As NFL Draft projections begin to take shape, the possibility of Alabama losing multiple underclassmen to the draft seems more and more likely.
Foremost among the Tide's potential early entrants is cornerback Dee Milliner, the highest-rated draft-eligible defensive back and the No. 11 overall prospect according to ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. Milliner's early departure has been expected since the preseason and while the Tide has landed commitments from a pair of elite defensive back prospects in Maurice Smith and Anthony Averett, the position remains a major priority for Saban and his staff down the stretch.
Two of the Tide's top cornerback targets are currently committed to other schools, a detail that has not slowed down the tenacious Tide staff. Brentwood, Tennessee native Jalen Ramsey has been committed to Southern Cal since July but visited Alabama for the Ole Miss game this season and has expressed a growing interest in the Tide.
Spanish Fort star Jonathan Cook has also been receiving attention from the Alabama staff, though does not yet have a scholarship offer from the Tide. If that offer came, it's possible that the allure of playing for the home-state Tide could be enough to talk him out of his current commitment to Nebraska.
Saban made news during his weekly radio show last week when he mentioned that he expects offensive tackle D.J. Fluker to enter the draft in January as well.
"I can't say that right for sure yet," Saban said of the possibility of Fluker's early entry. "We won't even consider it until after the season. That's going to be an important spot in recruiting."
Indeed the offensive tackle spot has been a priority for the Tide and will continue to be during the final two months of the 2013 recruiting cycle. With junior college prospect Leon Brown ready to step in and contribute immediately, Saban and his staff are also pursuing some high school prospects that could develop into full-time starters at either tackle spot down the road.
The top name on the recruiting board for Alabama at offensive tackle is also the unanimous choice for the top player at that position in the country. Lake City, Florida star Laremy Tunsil is essentially down to Alabama and Georgia and while both schools have made strong impressions, Tunsil's close friendship with Alabama commit Derrick Henry could give the Crimson Tide an edge.
Alabama is also keeping an eye on Texas commit A'Shawn Robinson, a massive 6-foot-5, 305-pound prospect who is expected to visit Tuscaloosa in the near future.
While C.J. Mosley and Eddie Lacy are both listed among the top five junior prospects at their respective positions, neither appears to be a likely candidate for early entry into the draft, giving the Tide a little breathing room when it comes to recruiting inside linebackers and running backs. Despite that, the Tide is hoping to sign all three of its current running back commits in February, including five-star Derrick Henry and four-stars Altee Tenpenny and Tyren Jones.

More lessons from the Great Depression | Letters
I read the letter to the editor sent by Leo Thoennes on May 14 with interest. I also was born before the Great Depression and have some comments about getting the United States economy back on track.
Unlike Mr. Thoennes, my mother, father and I rode the rails out here from Minneapolis and stayed with relatives in Rock Island, WA. I went to work at age 10 and worked until 2009.
Look at the underlying causes of current U.S. economic problems. The primary cause is that we are a debtor nation. The U.S. Census data gives a trade deficit of $817 trillion for 2006. The trade deficit with China is about one-third of that. The U.S. also has significant trade deficits with countries like Canada and Mexico.
The total annual trade deficit with all countries should be phased out over about three years. This would allow us to bring jobs in technology and manufacturing back to the United States.
Concurrently, we should reduce the size of government by 35 percent for non-essential services. We have lost our technological edge. Furthermore, we have enabled China to build up her war machine.
The exporting of technology is also a security risk. Another factor is outsourcing of jobs.

The Red Sox acquisition of Billy Wagner is brilliant. They acquired a fireball throwing left-hander for two yet to be named low minor leaguers. Their only exposure is the remaining money on his contract for this year. But to quote James Earl Jones from Field of Dreams: "For it is money that they have, and peace that they seek".
The Red Sox are in no danger of losing money. They have a lucrative television contract, a stadium that they have sucked every revenue opportunity out of, and a nationwide legion of fans purchasing their merchandise. However, they did realize that there is one precious commodity in baseball that no amount of money can currently buy: draft picks.
If Billy Wagner is offered arbitration after the season and doesn't take it, the Red Sox get draft picks. Not only are they draft picks, but they are high draft picks. When you add in Billy Wagner's desire to close, it is almost a lock that he will be leaving. The easiest way to see how much of a steal this was is to look at the three possible outcomes:
1) Wagner pitches terrific-For the cost of two low minor leaguers who barely qualify as prospects, the Sox get a veteran lefty that throws in the 90's and has experience. Maybe he helps them win a game or two down the stretch and pitches some high leverage innings in the playoffs. When the season is over, Wagner wishes to return to closing as he has stated and rejects the arbitration offer from the Sox to seek a closing job. The Red Sox then receive sandwich round draft picks (which means they get some picks after the first round is over and before the second round starts)
2) Wagner pitches poorly– The Red Sox wasted a few relief innings on another Eric Gagne and they are probably no worse for it. If it's just poorly, maybe they still offer him arbitration and he rejects it believing he can still close. The Sox still get the draft picks. If it is incredibly poorly, maybe the sox simply pay him his $1 million dollar buyout and let him go.
3) Wagner gets hurt-The worst case scenario, but here, the Sox would pay the buyout and send Wagner on his way.
Anyway you look at it the only thing the Sox have to lose here is money and (possibly) a game or two. Since they have a lot of money, the Sox basically just found a way to take a flier on a pitcher with upside and get two free draft picks at the same time. All of this begs one question: Why the hell wouldn't the Mets just keep him?

Samohi Waterpolo Vikings Outscore Palisades Dolphins 14-11
Posted Sep. 19, 2012, 3:52 pm
Roger Morante / Sports Editor
Jackson Hauty, Matthew Ciantrone, and Robbie Staenberg powered the Santa Monica High School waterpolo team to victory in an intense aquatic shoot out against the Palisades Dolphins with the Vikings coming out on top 14-11 on Wednesday.
Vikings Waterpolo Head Coach Matthew Flanders thought the offense of the Vikings did "pretty well."
"We threw a lot of kick outs and had a lot of quality shot opportunities," said Flanders.
Hauty scored five goals in the game with Ciantrone and Staenberg scoring four goals a piece to power the offensive point tally comprising 13 of 14 total points scored by the Vikings in the game.
"I think Jackson and Robbie had real nice plays offensively," said Flanders. "And Matthew is one of our best players."
The Vikings took the initiative in the first and second quarters with Hauty and Ciantrone leading the Vikings scoring three goals a piece. In the third and fourth quarters, the pair combined to add three more goals with lefty shooter Staenberg coming alive to score three points in the third and fourth quarters to add to his one goal in the first quarter.
Even with the win, Flanders thought the defensive play of the Vikings could improve.
"We're not doing what we need to do on defense," said Flanders. "We gave up way too many goals and if we fix that, we will be good."
Anton Pronichenko led the Dolphins scoring three goals in the first two quarters but was shut down in the third and fourth quarters by the Vikings defense and this proved to give the Vikings the edge in the game.
The Vikings play two more home games this week, Thursday against Hoover and Friday against Chadwick both games starting at 3 p.m.

The Cleveland Browns have traded down three times in the first round, finally landing at No. 21, where they selected center Alex Mack, addressing a need in the offensive line.
Alex Mack, California, 6-4, 307
A great athlete for his position, Mack showed more power and toughness as a senior, and his offseason performances snuck him into the first round. He started 39 consecutive games and could also play guard.

Mascoma Corp., which plans a $250 million plant to make cellulosic ethanol in the Upper Peninsula, announced Thursday it has made "major research advances" that will allow it to mass-produce the alternative fuel at lower costs.
Mascoma said it has discovered the key to consolidated bioprocessing, a much-touted strategy for producing cellulosic ethanol in a high-yield, single-step process through the use of engineered microorganisms.
The method eliminates the need to produce cellulase enzymes, significantly reducing cost.
"These advances enable the reduction in operating and capital costs required for cost-effective commercial production of ethanol, bringing Mascoma substantially closer to commercialization," Jim Flatt, the company's executive vice president of research, development and operations, said in a statement.
"Our results go a long way toward establishing the feasibility of the processing concept that we have built our company around, so this is a big day for us."
Mascoma in July 2007 announced plans to build what would be the nation's first plant to make ethanol from non-food sources in Kinross, near Sault Ste. Marie. The facility would have an annual capacity of 40 million gallons using wood chips from local timber operations and other sources.
The company is aiming to break ground on the project later this year or early in 2010.
Mascoma in February announced it had begun producing cellulosic ethanol at a test plant in upstate New York.
The company presented its proof-of-concept plan for consolidated bioprocessing, or CBP, at a recent biofuels symposium in San Francisco.
"This is a true breakthrough that takes us much, much closer to billions of gallons of low-cost cellulosic biofuels," said Bruce Dale, the editor of the journal Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefineries and a Michigan State University professor. "Many had thought that CBP was years or even decades away, but the future just arrived."

Game analyst Michael Pachter has been an outspoken critic of the Wii U over the past few months, but he has also had some good things to say about Nintendo's new console. After the Wii U price and launch date were revealed, Pachter said that he thinks it will sell out for months, and that the first party Nintendo titles looked great.
He has more good things to say in the latest episode of his show Pach Attack. He's impressed that Nintendo got Bayonetta 2 as a Wii U exclusive, and says that he was a big fan of the first game. In fact, he says "I'm gonna buy a Wii U just to play Bayonetta 2. I like Nintendo first party content, but I love Bayonetta". He believes that Bayonetta 2 is so important for Nintendo that the game alone could account for 1 million extra Wii U consoles sold.
Pachter also comments on Nintendo scheduling their event right after Apple's iPhone 5 unveiling, saying that it was a bad move. Most game industry insiders believe that the iPhone 5 overshadowed the Wii U, which received little to no press coverage in the days after the price and release date unveiling. Some asked whether the Wii U was struggling to build a buzz among the mainstream audience.
But Nintendo doesn't seem to be bothered — they've only just recently started advertising the Wii U to the general public, with the first billboards spotted in Japan last week.
Check out the full Pach Attack episode below, which also touches up on mobile gaming and whether it threatens home consoles or not.

Eastern coyotes reported thriving in suburban Mass.

SOUTHAMPTON – It sounds to her like a conversation, delivered in haunting howls, going back and forth in the dead of night. "Their midnight yowls bounce off the hills so loudly it can wake me up," said Karen J. Andrade. "They howl to each other, sometimes one at a time, sometimes in a pack." The coyotes that surround her home have become more prominent in the last year. "I have chickens, and I lose at least one every time I let them out in the yard now. I just find feathers. This only occurs from a fox or coyote, but I haven't seen any foxes lately," Andrade said. By November, though, the coyotes also became more personal. "A pack of them ran howling through the riding ring where my son was having a lesson. His instructor threw the horse in the barn and locked (himself and her son) in the car. I arrived a few minutes after this happened and they were both very shaken. They said they were howling very loudly and seemed to be on the hunt," Andrade said. The well-publicized death of a Canadian folk singer, Taylor Mitchell, in October from injuries sustained when she was attacked by a pair of coyotes while hiking in a Nova Scotia national park has raised fears about the animals, which are present now in every city and town in the commonwealth, save for those on Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. However, the incident was only the second confirmed death due to an attack by coyotes in North America, the other coming in California in 1981. That's why wildlife officials continue to stress that coyotes, which are considered shy creatures, pose little risk to humans. Mitchell's death "was a very unfortunate but incredibly rare occurrence," said Laura J. Hajduk, head of the furbearer program for the state Division of Fisheries and Wildlife. "In Massachusetts, we've only ever had three attacks on people, and two were by rabid coyotes." Eastern coyotes did not appear in Massachusetts until the 1950s, having migrated into the Northeast from Canada. Hajduk said there may now be 10,000 spread across the commonwealth. A cousin of the Western coyote, the Eastern variety is slightly larger, with males typically weighing about 40 pounds and females about 35 pounds. Genetic tests have found the coyotes in the Northeast are a hybrid of Canadian red wolf and Western coyote, which explains their larger size. The coat of an Eastern coyote can be grizzled gray, grayish tan, reddish blond or even charcoal black. Coyotes are often compared in appearance to poorly fed German shepherds, but coyotes characteristically carry their tail low to the ground, while a shepherd's tail will be carried high. In the East, a coyote pack is most often a family – the adult male and female, the young of the year and perhaps a few young of the previous year that have yet to disperse. Families are very territorial and are most often nocturnal. Their howling, which is often done to announce a territory, may bring to mind lonely prairies and isolated forests. But in reality, suburbia is where you're most likely to find and hear them, said Hajduk. "In suburban areas, food is pretty easy to come by and pretty close together, so coyotes don't have to travel far to meet their energy needs. That means you can pack more animals into the territory. In rural areas, though, food is more spread apart so home ranges are larger," she said. In Massachusetts, the typical home range of a coyote in suburbia is 6 square miles. In rural settings in the state, it is 20 square miles, she said. Coyotes are opportunistic feeders, eating almost anything they can find, from small rodents to fruit to pet food left on a porch to small pets themselves. Hajduk said the key to keeping coyotes out of your yard is to make food unavailable. "Harassment is also very important. When you see a coyote in your yard, make it know that it's not welcome. Throw a tennis ball at it. Make noise," she said.

Running on empty: 'Speed Racer' has dazzling visuals, but not much else
SPEED RACER, the late 1960s TV series imported from Japan, was far from dazzling. It was crudely drawn and choppily animated, a show that ate up a half-hour of after-school TV time and left behind only vague memories.
Apparently, the Wachowski Brothers, the duo responsible for the MATRIX series, saw endless undeveloped potential in the material, and they've used it as the inspiration for a gigantic slab of eye candy, brimming with electrified colors, big-name talent and racing action that's designed to make viewers deliriously dizzy.
But 135 minutes of this leave you feeling like Speed's little brother, Spirtle, after one of his junk food pig-outs: slightly queasy and well aware you've had too much sugar. Self-indulgent and self-congratulatory, the Wachowskis' SPEED RACER is stylish to the max, but it has no staying power. By the time the final checkered flag flies, the movie has long since worn out its welcome.
The Wachowskis' story veers back and forth between sensory assaults and sentimentality, as hard-driving Speed (Emile Hirsch) tries to sort out his personal and professional ambitions. While he wants to do right by his parents (Susan Sarandon and John Goodman) and his chic and cherubic girlfriend, Trixie (Christina Ricci), he's also tempted by the prestige and potential paydays offered by corporate big wheel Royalton (Roger Allam), an ultra-greedy Rupert Murdoch-type who wants Speed to join his racing team.
Speed also is determined to uncover the truth about his older brother, Rex, who supposedly died in a crash years ago. Could the German-accented Inspector Detector (Benno Furmann) or the dashing Racer X (Matthew Fox), who is never seen without his skin-tight black jumpsuit and wrap-around dark shades, provide some answers?
The less-than-gripping plot is broken up by numerous races, all of which take place on courses that look like gargantuan video-game backdrops. The tracks Speed and his rivals roar around are veritable roller coasters, augmented with towering loops, sizable spikes and ramps that lead straight into the sky. The cars don't just run around them: They fly, skid and spiral through the air.
For about half an hour or so, this retina-ravishing look is irresistible, and the Wachowskis even carry a bit of it over into the domestic scenes in the Racer home, which features tangerine-colored telephones, flower-power wallpaper and retro-fabulous furniture that might have been ordered from a 1963 Sears catalog.
The actors try to endow their characters with traces of humor and sensitivity and, in the case of Goodman and Sarandon, they sometimes succeed. But Hirsch, Ricci and Fox are reduced to little more than good-looking paper dolls for the Wachowskis to drop into various computer-animated vehicles and send off into battle. Perhaps as a Wii or PlayStation game SPEED RACER will provide hours of fun, but as a movie it's ultimately numbing instead of thrilling.
Let's hope the Wachowskis don't tackle KIMBA THE WHITE LION next.

Graduate Study
The Graduate Program in English Language and Literature offers three degree options for the prospective applicant: the Ph.D., the M.F.A., and the Joint M.F.A./Ph.D.
The department enrolls about twelve Ph.D. students each year, including a small number of students pursuing the joint Ph.D./M.F.A. program. The Ph.D. program, for which five years of support is guaranteed, is extremely flexible in regard to such matters as course selection, the design of examinations, and the election of minor subjects of concentration outside the department. Degree requirements include a Qualifying Examination in the second year, an Advancement to Candidacy Examination in the third year, and a final thesis examination.
The Creative Writing program is a two-year, full-time program that awards an M.F.A. degree, concentrating in either poetry or fiction. Each year the department enrolls only eight students, four in each genre. The most significant requirement of the program is the completion of a book-length manuscript in the form of a collection of poems, short stories, or a novel.
Every graduate student selects a Special Committee of faculty advisors. This system allows students to design their own courses of study within a broad framework laid down by the department, and it encourages a close working relationship between professors and students, promoting freedom and flexibility in the pursuit of the graduate degree. Teaching is also considered an integral part of training for the profession. The department offers a carefully supervised teaching experience of at least one year for every doctoral and M.F.A. candidate.
Outside the classroom, graduate students in English often create forums or informal reading groups. Some are established gatherings and others are created and changed from year to year. In addition, the Department of English, as well as related fields, brings scholars and writers to Cornell for readings, talks, and seminars.

Tom Tierney, Jr. would like his Tottenville squad to think there are still some frontiers to conquer on Staten Island this year. But after Saturday's 8-0 and mercy rule-shortened 14-2 sweep of a doubleheader against Port Richmond, it is obvious the Pirates will have to wait for the PSAL playoffs to hit their stiffest challenges.
It's true they still have two more games against second-place McKee/Staten Island Tech, and another contest against New Dorp, both of whom gave the Pirates good games in their first meetings. But even Tierney might have trouble convincing his squad that their remaining foes could endanger the Pirates' 12-0 record.
"This year, there's not a real battle for first," Tierney said. "Usually, somebody like Tech or New Dorp or Susan Wagner puts together a real good year, but this year Tech's got five losses. Somebody usually puts together a streak, but this year nobody's had that.
"Of course, we just want to win all our games and get our (high) seed. So we're working on getting better."
Part of Tierney's improvement plan undoubtedly involves getting his biggest hitter, Kevin Krause, back from an injury to his left toe and metatarsal. Krause, who viewed the games on crutches, suffered the injury in Tuesday's game over the same Raiders when he got his spike caught while sliding into home. An MRI Sunday will determine how long he'll be out, but Krause was optimistic.
"One week," he said moments after senior right-hander Mike Gillen threw a complete-game three-hitter in the opener. "Two, tops."
For this stretch, anyway, Krause's draft potential was more endangered than his team's won-loss record. The second game was their second mercy rule shortened affair in the last three outings. And the opener easily could have ended after five if the Pirates, missing three of their starters to SAT testing, had hit a little.
Instead, they gladly accepted the 3-10 Raiders' generosity in handing out 12 walks and four errors. That resulted in Tottenville scoring seven of their eight runs without benefit of a hit.
The Pirates mustered just three hits that game.
"It happens," Tierney said.
With the Raiders walking the first five hitters for two runs, Gillen had no issues as a tailing fastball and hard-breaking curve kept Port Richmond off the board.
"Our goal is always to play well at the end of the year," said Gillen, who improved to 3-0 in the PSAL. "We just have to keep it up."
The win marked his second straight complete game, following last Saturday's four-hitter against Clarkstown South in the non-conference Clarkstown Tournament.
The second game was quite a different story as Tottenville blasted out nine hits, four for extra bases. Included was George Kantzian's first-ininng, two-run homer, his second in PSAL play and fifth overall, that got the Pirates off to a flying start. Doubles by Carmelo Donofrio and Tom Kain, and a triple by Mike Sullivan also produced runs.
Kain went 4-for-4 with two runs and two RBI, and Kantzian 1-for-2 with two runs scored and three RBI.
"I've been in a bit of a funk the last couple of games," Kantzian said. "But today I felt good at the plate. We're a hitting team. A game like that, it's a confidence boost for us."
Chris Osorio banged a homer for the Raiders when he got a hold of complete-game winner Nick Amatucci's hanging curve and pounded it over the right field fence.
"We've still got games to play," Tierney said. "But if we're blowing people out, that's not a bad thing."

FLEMINGTON — A judge has dismissed a lawsuit stemming from the contentious tenure of former Hunterdon County Sheriff Deborah Trout, but granted leave for an amended complaint to be filed.
Trout, former Undersheriff Michael Russo and former Sheriff's Investigator John Falat Jr. sued the county; the county Prosecutor's Office; former Prosecutor J. Patrick Barnes; current and former Freeholders George Melick, William Mennen, Ronald Sworen, Matthew Holt, Rob Walton and Erik Peterson; Prosecutor's Office employees Kenneth Rowe and Edward DeFillipis; and county administrator Cynthia Yard; county attorney Guy DeSapio and Donna Simon, who led efforts to recall Trout in 2009.
The suit also named former assistant prosecutors Ben Barlyn and William McGovern, but the suit was previously voluntarily dismissed as it pertained to them.
Except for Simon, the defendants all filed motions to have the suit dismissed. In his opinion released on March 19, Judge Stanley Chesler dismissed some claims with prejudice and others without prejudice. On the claim dismissed without prejudice, Trout, Falat and Russo are free to file an amended complaint.
The 57-page suit claimed that before and after Trout took office in
January of 2008, she was subjected to "retaliation and harassment"
because she and Russo had both sued the county in the past.
Judge Chesler dismissed with prejudice several counts against certain defendants and some counts against all defendants. As for the remaining claims, the judge ruled that the suit was too vague as to who did exactly what and how it impacted each plaintiff. The judge wrote that since there were 16 different defendants, all with different roles, they cannot form a proper defense if it is not clear what exactly they are accused of doing.
The judge noted that a chart was submitted that more clearly defined the allegations but he still wanted a "clean, well-organized complaint articulating precisely which claims each plaintiff is making against whom." He said it is not the court's job to laboriously search for the facts to support each legal claim.
A grand jury indicted Trout, Russo and Falat in May 2010 on 43 counts of official misconduct and other crimes. All charges were dropped in August 2010 after the state Attorney General's Office took over the case and found the grand jury and the indictments to be "defective" and convinced a Superior Court judge to drop the charges.
Attorney William Courtney filed the suit in Hudson County Superior Court on Aug. 2. Lawsuits may be filed where at least one plaintiff lives. Falat lives in Hudson County.
The suit was then transferred to federal district court.

Hi everyone! As you all know, I'm Vera (I think my user name gives it away )
I have dyed my hair countless times, and after I dye my hair I always wonder how I can restore it so it can look healthy. Finally, after 5 years I have found out how to care for it so it will look restored in a few weeks.
I usually box dye my hair. If you are doing that, just follow the instructions as usual.
Here's my first trick: When you're done rinsing your hair until the water runs clear, and you're getting ready to put the conditioner provided in, use the whole tube. This might sound crazy, but you won't need the conditioner for later anyways. (I usually can't keep track to use it the weeks post-dying anyways). This will make your hair shiny, and super soft for the next few days. WARNING: DON'T USE A LEAVE IN CONDITIONER OR SHAMPOO RIGHT AFTER YOU DYE YOUR HAIR.
Now I know the smell is awful after you dye your hair, but don't wash it for a good 1-3 days. Your natural oils need to build up and work into your hair so it doesn't dry out after washing. With the concern of shampoo, I would recommend using a shampoo that is for colour treated hair. I use Pantene Pro-V Brunette shampoo and conditioner. It's for colour treated hair, and it helps enhance the colour.
Use a leave-in conditioner, I cannot stress this enough. This will restore your hair at a tremendous rate. I use the Aussie's 3 Minute Miracle.
Don't do anything to your hair for about a good week or two. Applying heat to your hair will dry it out, create split ends, and make the colour dull. Don't pull you hair up for any reason too. This will also break you hair, and make it frizzy, along with the previous effects.
Dye your hair on a Friday. This will give you time to just relax at home, and not care who is at your house to see your hair when you don't wash it.
Be careful brushing your hair, this will break and damage your hair.
Use a leave-in serum or spritz to keep your hair moisturized.
Here's how I wash my hair to keep it healthy.
2.Conditioner (leave this on for 1 minute, then rinse)
3.Leave-in conditioner (wring your hair out, then put on ends of hair. leave on for 3 minutes then rinse with warm water. then shock your hair with cold water. this will restore moisture and shine.)
I hope you enjoyed this, message me if you have any questions, and I hope you have a beautiful day.

Entering the cage against an opponent who is bigger, taller and more experienced is the daunting challenge facing Glace Bay fighter Michael Spoenlein tonight in Halifax.

The 20-year-old mixed martial arts (MMA) practitioner will fight in the headline event at Extreme Cage Combat (ECC) 21 at the Olympic Hall venue.
Spoenlein, who sports a 3-0 record as a professional, will take on Lyndon Whitlock (8-4), of Hamilton, Ont in the main event of the eight-event card.
"If it was just about size then there wouldn't be a reason to fight," said the amicable Spoenlien. "There is so much to this sport, so many skills are required and you have to use your head and be smart."
He should know as he has won all three of his pro bouts by submission. His debut was won with a rear-naked choke hold, the second with an armbar and in his most recent fight Spoenlein used a triangle choke to overcome Morgan Rhynes at ECC 20 in April.
"For me winning by submission is the most gratifying part of the sport," he said. "Technique is important and so is skill but you also have to out-think your opponent."
Spoenlein trains at Zombie Proof Martial Arts in Sydney where he has been working on his Brazilian jiu-jitsu technique under the tutelege of coach Kent Peters.

Enjoy your food, but eat less.
The message could not be simpler or easier to commit to memory. The newest federal dietary guidelines run, with appendices and tables, to some 100 pages. The document, issued by the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services, contains a wealth of detailed information about what people ought to be eating - and what they should generally avoid.
But no one other than a professional need read the whole thing. It can be summed up by the quotation above, which is the first specific recommendation in the new guidelines.
Too many Americans are eating way, way too much. Too many are overweight or obese - to call it an epidemic is not at all an overstatement. The key to living longer, healthier lives is in the foods we eat, and the amount we consume.
Nearly everyone knows the basics: Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Lots of whole grains. Eat less sugar. Much less salt.
Oh, and did we mention that most everyone ought to eat less, too?
The federal dietary guidelines are issued by law every five years. They are based on the findings of a group of experts who consume the newest data on health and diet and then put together the recommendations that don't seem to influence the actual diets of the citizens across the land.
Year after year, the citizens get fatter and less healthy. Diabetes is on the rise. Heart disease is rampant.
This is why the newest recommendations, which are not a wild departure from earlier such documents, are nonetheless significantly different in the simplicity of the message.
Here are the three most important things to take away from the new guidelines, the three rules to live by:
Eat less. Eat less. Eat less.
