By MATTHEW L. BROWN
A Texas hedge fund firm is stepping up its efforts to put Hampden Bancorp on the block by trying to get two of its representatives on the Springfield banking company's board of directors.
With 6.5 percent of the company's shares, Dallas-based hedge fund Clover Partners is the biggest institutional shareholder on Hampden's roster, which also includes Boston-based Wellington Management and other industry heavyweights. Johnny Guerry, Clover's managing partner, and Garold Base, CEO of Dallas-based Viewpoint Bank, were recently nominated for board membership by MHC Mutual Conversion Fund, a Clover general partner.
The nominations represent the most aggressive step yet in an ongoing effort by dissatisfied Hampden Bancorp investors to put the 160-year-old bank up for sale. Both Hampden, parent of Hampden Bank, and Chicopee Bancorp, parent of Chicopee Savings Bank, are considering sales this year under pressure from Clover, which is also Chicopee's largest institutional shareholder.
In a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing earlier this month, Hampden said it's being asked to consider Guerry and Base for the board of directors during this year's annual stockholders' meeting. A date for that meeting has not been set, but it's usually held in November.
Hampden has been a publicly traded bank since 2007, and that's long enough for shareholders to get antsy. They've been showing their impatience with the bank's performance and its management at the company's annual meetings, and things came to a head late last year. Last September, another shareholder proposed the bank consider options to increase shareholder value, including selling the bank or merging it with another bank. Guerry supported the proposal, and shareholders approved the measure by a narrow margin.
Shareholders' primary complaint is that Hampden isn't doing well enough for its investors, and they have little confidence in management's ability to improve the bank's performance.
Robert Massey, Hampden's chief financial officer, said bank management isn't quite sure what to make of the situation. "This is the first time this has ever happened to us," he said, "but we're a relatively young public company. What Clover's motivation is, I really couldn't say."
In particular, the activist shareholders lamented the company's low return on equity, a measure of the profits banks make with the money they get from shareholders. Public banks typically shoot for return on equity of about 10 percent, but weak returns have plagued the bank since it went public. In the first quarter, Hampden's return on equity was 3.8 percent, down from slightly more than 4 percent a year earlier.
Hampden's first-quarter profit fell about 6 percent to $825,000 from $877,000 a year prior. The company said it would pay a 5-cents-a-share quarterly dividend later this month. Hampden's total assets increased by about 8 percent to $667 million from about $611 million a year ago.
Philip Flink, an attorney at Brown Rudnick in Boston, said it's likely that Guerry and Base will get elected.
Advisers usually recommend boards "just vet and move forward," Flink said. Once on the board, they're just two members who can agitate for change.
"But the board can't be complacent," Flink said. "These two people are probably pros, and will probably focus on the board meeting its fiduciary duties. Board members are going to have to wake up, pay attention and be more rigorous in their analysis."

Sport: Soccer
Position: Right center defender
Team Name: Lakeridge
Coach: Karl
Highlights of season: "On March 10 th, I tore my ACL and couldn't play for the duration of my club season. I even missed my team winning Surf Cup, an extremely tough tournament in San Diego. I was devastated to know I would have to be out for a while and wouldn't know the exact date I'd be back to playing again. But with a lot of hard work and determination, I came back after exactly five months, and was able to play the whole first game of the season and have continuously ever since."
How she got started: "I started playing when I was four and did almost every sport possible just like most kids do at that age, and soccer was really the only thing I had fun doing, so I stuck with it."
Coach's advice: "'Don't be afraid to fail.' It is always written on the white board in our team room."
Favorite part: "I love the awesome feeling of being able to have the best save or making the perfect pass. It feels great to be able to give it your all for not only yourself, but for each and every one of your teammates."
Favorite meal the night before the big event: "We have pasta feeds at someone's house the night before our game. It's great; we fuel up on salad, bread, and different types of pasta."
Off-season? "Even more soccer. Club soccer with Oswego Southside Soccer Academy (which is now Crossfire Oregon Soccer Club. I go insane without soccer."
Rules to live by: "Never compare yourself to others; only compare yourself to the best you can be."

On her iPod: "Mostly country music with a very small mix of everything else."
Favorite books: "The Great Gatsby and "To Kill a Mockingbird."
The one thing someone may not know about her: "Weird facts about me – I still have a baby tooth that most likely won't fall out until I'm in my late thirties. I am allergic to artificial cinnamon, which is an ingredient in Big Red Gum, Altoids, Hot Tamales. And, I have a fear of whales."
Serious fact not many people know: "My great grandma 'Granny' is my role model in life. She is such a strong woman that has been through a lot and I love her so much."
What's next? "I plan on playing college soccer, but haven't gotten my big break yet. I'm hoping it'll happen soon."

Nicki Minaj Has a Pink Fried Chicken Necklace and You Can Too
Photograph via Onch
This past weekend, Nicki Minaj ruffled some feathers by wearing a necklace that seemed to be made of a pink-dyed fried chicken wing on a gold chain. Some cried foul (note our restraint in not spelling it "fowl"–the first step is admitting you have a pun problem), questioning the good taste of wearing racially-loaded fried food dyed a heavily gendered color as a fashion accessory, but others just wondered where they could get one.
Well, Gothamist found out! The necklace was made by a jeweler named Onch (available for $79.99) who makes a whole range of fake food statement jewelry! You've got your Bacon Bracelet, Pizza Slice pendants, and "Giant Purple Onch Pretzel," all perfect for the person in your life who wears weird stuff that embarrasses you at fancy dinners.

Domestic Abuse: Changing Your Life
Abuse tends to get worse and occur more often over time. If you are being abused, plan ahead to get out for good. But don't feel discouraged if it takes more than one try. With courage and help from others, you can change your life.
Increase your safety now
You don't deserve to be abused. Prepare now to protect your health and safety:
Contact a women's shelter for help with making your plans.
Know how to get out of your home in a hurry. Find a back door or window that you can leave through.
Decide where to go in an emergency. Learn how to get there without a car. If you have children, make sure they know how to get there if you can't be with them.
If you trust a neighbor, set up an emergency signal, such as a crooked window blind. Ask the neighbor to call the police if they see this sign.
How to start
Leaving an abuser can be dangerous. Often, the safest time to leave is soon after your abuser has made up with you. But you are the best judge of when to leave. Trust your instincts and get prepared. That way you can act quickly when the time is right.
Pack an emergency bag. Include clothing, cash, a set of car keys, any daily medicines, and important papers (such as birth certificates). Have a trusted friend keep these items for you.
Locate a safe place to live. A friend's house or a women's shelter may offer protection until you find a more permanent place.
Look into job training. Many women's shelters provide job referrals and child-care services.
Seek legal protection
Domestic abuse is against the law. Find out what your rights are. Women's shelters or hotlines can help you get started. Here are some options:
Go on record. File a criminal complaint. Arresting the abuser is often the best way to stop abuse in the future. Or file a voluntary statement, which gives you the option of dropping charges later.
Get a restraining order. This makes it illegal for your abuser to have contact with you for a certain length of time.
Consider a no-fault divorce. It allows you to divorce sometimes without the help of an attorney. Or try a legal separation.
You're not alone
Remember that you are not alone. Look to friends, family, religious leaders, and counselors for support. Women's shelters and social services can also help. Check online for resources in your area or call this number:
National Domestic Violence Hotline: 800-799-7233

Stalking shows you really love them
i think unrequited love is possible, and can be a true and heartfelt emotion
unless it's cause you just like looking at them from across the street, that's just stalking
yeah you are
lolBaby if you time travel back far enough you can avoid that work because the dust won't be there. You're too pretty to be working that hard.

why say it with flowers when you can say it by creeping outside her window?

lolBaby if you time travel back far enough you can avoid that work because the dust won't be there. You're too pretty to be working that hard.
Unrequited love is an intense feeling: longing, desire.
Love is actually quite different in overall feeling -- in my experience. I've experienced both.
So, I would say, No, unrequited love is not love. It is longing.
The love feeling? I don't trust that at all, it is very deceiving.

2013 goals are to get fit and strong!
I just don't see it.
Romantic love is (among other things) communicating on some insanely intimate level and trusting your innermost feelings and insecurities and fantasies and pretty much EVERYTHING with another person. I just don't see how that's possible when only one of you is attempting to communicate/share on that level.
Sure, it can be love if it's unrequited, but it's a fanciful notion. Fine if the bearer understands that, but can become dangerous if not.
Hell, I'm just the teensiest bit in love with my trainer - he's better looking than anyone deserves to be, but really lovely and unassuming with it...and he's slowly but surely helping turn me into a goddess so what's not to love. Fanciful? Yep, of course...completely...he's also 15 years younger than me and wayyyy out of my league, but hey, it brightens up my sad day
Romantic stories have to have a few key ingredients. The biggest ingredient is that the lovers must be kept apart. The most romantic stories have one or both lovers die (think Romeo and Juliet, Titanic, etc). If a romantic story has the lovers unite, it only happens at the end and then the story ends (think happily ever after--would you really want to see that part of the story?). Romance is not the same as love. I agree, unrequited love is longing. And when pathological, it is obsession.
Female, 5'3", 50, Max squat: 202.5lbs. Max deadlift: 225 x 3.
I never even thought that it might not be, having been reared on the romanticism of the 17th to 19th century. I viewe love as universal. Back when I was a teen I was very fond of the Greek classification of love, pragma, lutus, etc....
My Journal: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread57916.html
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
I think it is love, but it's the simplest, naivest and least meaningful kind of love.
It doesn't really have to be from afar either; you can know someone quite well and be in love with them without them feeling the same for you.
I think it's a shallow sort of love born out of loneliness and, as others have said, longing for connection and intimacy. Deep love has to be reciprocal and based on communication and connection between people. It's still an intense feeling though, one I've felt a few times and honestly not something I care to go through ever again. Its pretty awful, honestly.
Today I will: Eat food, not poison. Plan for success, not settle for failure. Live my real life, not a virtual one. Move and grow, not sit and die.

Forty-seven starters came to the line to take the first Tourism London Challenge. From the gun there was attacking off the front. A total of $300 in preems were distributed to the racers throughout the 75 minute event.Several escape attempts were made in the first 40 minutes of racing, however nothing was able to stay away. There was a preem with 30 minutes remaining and this is what formed the nine rider break that lapped the field with five laps remaining. The break was on their own for the final four laps and in the finale, hometown boy Jeff Schiller took top honours and the first place prize. The rest of the top five included Mike Aston, Peter Morse, Brent Aquino, and Junior-aged Adam Jamieson.The Forest City Velodrome (volunteers) would like to thank all the sponsors and contributors for this event. We hope everyone had a great time at the event and wish to see everyone again next year.Report courtesy Rob Good

It's an 'Oh no you didn't' moment in Big Ten country.
You may or may not have read about starting offensive lineman Justin Boren leaving the Wolverines about a month ago and you may or may not have cared.
He took a little shot at new coach Rich Rodriguez on his way out by saying the program's "family values have eroded."
Now it looks like he's taking a shot at the whole team by playing for rival Ohio State beginning in 2009.
You can read through the short history of the move on ESPN:
1. Rodriguez says Boren is leaving the team.
2. Boren gives his reason - the family values line.
3. Rodriguez responds to the claim.
4. What do you know, he's on board with the Buckeyes
What really sticks out in the saga is this:
Boren told reporters after Michigan's first spring practice... that adapting to new coach Rich Rodriguez's no-huddle spread offense was physically challenging. He mentioned the difficulty the offensive linemen had constantly running to the line of scrimmage.
To me, this says Boren couldn't man up and adapt to the spread offense... regardless of anything going on with Michigan's family values. But, on top of that there are plenty of other things swirling around that draw our attention to the Boren family values:
a. Daddy drama:
"Ohio State would be a good fit for Justin, and that's why he's not at Michigan anymore, because Michigan is not the right fit for him," said Mike Boren...
"I have not talked to Ohio State and I'm not sure about their situation. ... But would he go to Ohio State? Yes. The only two schools he seriously considered three years ago were Ohio State and Michigan, and he almost went to Ohio State even then."
b. Brother drama:
Rumor has it (see comments here) that little brother Zach didn't receive an offer from Rodriguez and father Mike is quoted as saying: "I'm not going to have two kids at two universities."
Rich Rod has his own problems since leaving West Virginia but in this case, I think the Borens have a little self-work to do. While we are on the subject of "values," they should know that maybe, I don't know, once you commit to a school and a team you should let hard work and determination do the rest? Verbal commitments have started to mean less and less in recruiting, but once you've been on board for a few years, it is generally not cool to start shopping around for other (rival) programs.
Please: Weigh in on the drama. Or add to it. I'm interested to hear what any of the Michigan or Ohio State faithful have to say about it, or if they are just over it.

MINNEAPOLIS — Happy 40th, Knicks.
Team Titanic's Monday meltdown in Motown gave the Knicks their 40th defeat of the season. With a 21-40 record, they will need to go 20-1 to finish at .500 — or go undefeated the rest of the way to post a winning record.
With the Timberwolves' Kevin Love on tap Wednesday at Target Center, it doesn't appear a 21-0 finish is in the cards.
Seven players have set their career high in points against the Knicks this season, and in the last two losses, Bulls center Joakim Noah set a career high in assists with 14 (the most by a center since at least 1986) and Pistons center Andre Drummond set his career high Monday with 26 rebounds.
Of the 40 losses, here's my top five most crushing:

The four gunshots were heard about 8:30 Saturday night. It sounded as if two weapons, both 9 mm handguns, were involved. In Jersey City neighborhoods like mine, everyone knows what a 9 mm sounds like. We heard four shots, two from one gun answered by two more from a second weapon.
My neighbor's car was struck by one of the bullets. Only 15 minutes before, my neighbor, my wife and I had just gotten out of the car, returning home from a wedding reception. A bit later and we might have been caught in the crossfire.
Saturday night was just the latest in a spate of gunplay in the neighborhood. Two weeks ago, someone fired a round into a van parked across the street from my house. Last week, someone capped off a couple of rounds just up the street.
I don't want to leave the impression that my block, or neighborhood, is a war zone. My normally peaceful street, though, exists in proximity to a thoroughfare where groups of unemployed, unschooled and unskilled young men — with no place to be and nothing much to do, besides get into or cause trouble — hang out.
That my street is only three blocks from a police precinct is frustrating for us and should be humiliating for the Jersey City Police Department, or at least those in charge.
But don't misunderstand me. I'm not placing the blame, at least not all of it, on the police. One way or another, we are all to blame — our elected officials, our educational system that often fails to educate, our penchant for creating diversions like charter schools as a way of side stepping, instead of addressing, the hard-core issues of poverty bedeviling the inner city.
And we can't forget drugs and the so-called war against them that's made the United States the global leader in incarcerating its citizens. There's our culture as a gunfighter nation fed by fantasies nurtured in Hollywood, as well as the core-deep effects of racism our society stubbornly refuses to confront.
People in my neighborhood and others have banded together to reclaim once bustling main streets. They've labored hard, applying for state and federal grants anywhere they could find them to provide a facelift for these avenues.
But all that effort will come to naught unless we come to grips with all the lives being wasted in front of liquor stores on the very street corners those community groups are working so hard to reclaim.
Earl Morgan's column appears in The Jersey Journal every Wednesday.

While some women look for a savior, others look for a man they can rescue. Some of us have this savior attitude that can ruin a relationship because we encourage the one we love to become overly dependent on us. I met once this woman who told me about her love life and how she would fall in love with men who all had that common point: they were vulnerable. "My ex's didn't lookalike physically, but psychologically, they all underwent a difficult period in their life. I fell in love with them when they were down. One was drinking, another one was suffering from a nervous breakdown, another one had financial difficulties and didn't know how to get out of it. Their despair had such a powerful attraction on me. Each time, I thought I could save them. I offered them my help, but in the end, it always turned into the same scenario. They let me take all the important decisions in their life and completely relied on me for everything. I morphed into their mother, and I really felt uncomfortable with that. That's why I had to leave them" she said. "I know I can't help falling in love with this kind of guys. It's just winning on me every time. Deep inside me, I have this St-Bernard attitude" she added.
One of my friends told me she also has a soft spot for "weak" personalities."It's not that I have a savior attitude, it's just that I want a man who can understand I have ups but also downs in my life, and who can comfort me when I'm down. I have understood that those who underwent difficulties in their life have a better chance to have a true connection with me. One of my ex's was the complete opposite of that, really uptight about everything, and when I lost my mother, he couldn't understand why I was crying all the time, mourning my mom's loss. For me, it's important to have a man who's sensitive" she said.
When you fall in love with a man/ woman who undergoes a tough period in his/her life, you face a list of risks. First, you can end up with a total loser. Second, with someone who will hang on you like a leech. Third, a really egocentric person that won't care about your problem. Finally, you can get dumped because you served him/her as a trigger to feel better. But you have to make a difference between a temporary period or something that's recurrent in his/her life. For example, we could all be fired from our job because of the difficult economic conditions of our company. But some people managed to get fired from every job they take. Likewise, financial problems can happen to all of us, but some of us make this problem permanent and don't mind living on your salary.
Besides, why do we feel this need to help/save the other, while sometimes they don't ask for that?
So, have you got a savior attitude in you? Or do people who have problems make you run away?

In 231 a council of bishops and priests met at Alexandria, called by Bishop Demetrius for the purpose of declaring Origen unworthy of the office of teacher, and of excommunicating him. In 306, a council held under St. Peter of Alexandria deposed Meletius, Bishop of Lycopolis, for idolatry and other crimes. The schism then begun by him lasted fifty years and was the source of much sorrow for the Church of Egypt. In 321 was held the council that first condemned Arius, then parish priest of the section of Alexandria known as Baucalis. After his condemnation Arius withdrew to Palestine, where he secured the powerful support of Eusebius of Caesarea. At the Council of 326, St. Athanasius was elected to succeed the aged Alexander, and various heresies and schisms of Egypt were denounced. In 340, one hundred bishops met at Alexandria, declared in favour of Athanasius, and vigorously rejected the calumnies of the Eusebian faction at Tyre. At a council in 350, St. Athanasius was replaced in his see. In 362 was held one of the most important of these councils. It was presided over by St. Athanasius and St. Eusebius of Vercelli, and was directed against those who denied the divinity of the Holy Ghost, the human soul of Our Lord, and His Divinity. Mild measures were agreed on for those apostate bishops who repented, but severe penance was decreed for the chief leaders of the great heresies that had been devastating the Christian Church. In 363, another council met under St. Athanasius for the purpose of submitting to the new Emperor Jovian an account of the truth faith. Somewhat similar was the purpose of the Council of 364. That of 370 approved the action of Pope Damasus in condemning Urascius and Valens (see ARIANISM ), and expressed its surprise that Auxentius was yet tolerated at Milan. In 399, the council of Alexandria condemned, without naming himself, the writings of Origen. In 430, St. Cyril of Alexandria held to make known to the bishops of Egypt the letter of Pope Celestine I (422-432), in which a pontifical admonition was conveyed to the heresiarch Nestorius. In this council the bishops warned him that unless he retracted his errors, confessed the Catholic faith, and reformed his life, they would refuse to look on him as a bishop. In 633, the patriarch Cyrus held a council in favour of the Monothelites, with which closed the series of these deliberative meetings of the ancient Church of Egypt.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

The Golden Globes!
Not to be churlish, nor to kick a sad little awards show when it's down. But this critic, at least, is taking some perverse pleasure in the boot-to-the-virtual-groin the WGA strike has dealt to the Golden Globules. For the following reasons:
1.The Hollywood Foreign Press Association. What is this, exactly? No one knows, and thus why does anyone care?
2. Seriously, though, how many members does this HFPA claim?
3. Still seriously, what credentials do these members have?
4. And why do we care what they think?
5. Which isn't to say that foreign critics on our soil don't deserve some kind of aggregate voice. Sure, fine, whatever. Everyonee should have a voice, and a heart and a brain and a little dog named Toto, too. Flying monkeys? Heck yeah, I'm totally down with that, just look out for falling houses, bub.
6. But if they're giving out awards, why don't they give them away overseas?
7: Suggestions: Somewhere warm. With a beach. And nice hotels.
And now other observations for the day:
"Dexter" on network? What an exciting idea. Now, finally, network tv will have a show that involves cops, serial killers and gruesome crimes. Has that ever been done before? Do they even have cop shows on network?
I'm being sarcastic. I don't like "Dexter." I'm in the minority, I know. But while I like a lot of dark, violent, sometimes gruesome shows (e.g., "The Sopranos," "The Wire," and on and on) "Dexter" strikes me as not just creepy, but chilly. Cold to the touch. I've seen multiple episodes, and yet....I don't care.
Same deal with so many of Showtime's other overrated shows. "Brotherhood," in particular. Also "Californication," and don't even get me started on "The L Word." OK, OK, I dig "Weeds," though I'm always behind on it.
You want entertainment? Here's Conan O'Brien singing "Sabotage" in the voice of Edith Bunker.

Fall is almost upon us, so it is time to start planning for how you are going to extend those garden crops for as long as possible through the frost season (see the before picture on the right). Helping your vegetables survive through fall means a longer growing season and money saved in the bank. There are two types of frosts to be aware of. Advective Frosts are plant killers; very cold temperatures that drop below plant hardiness levels. Radiation Frosts are survivable for your plants if they are covered and generally represent the frosts most likely to occur in early fall.
Below are three super-easy ways to help save your crops from a radiation type of frost. Advective frosts are tough to fight and you might need more powerful protection tools. All the below concepts involve covering the crop and trapping the heat of the soil beneath the covering. These coverings work as long as they do not get wet. A wet cover makes the temperatures surrounding the plant cooler.
1. Blanket and Sheet Covers
These are the simplest to use. Simply toss a lightweight blanket or sheet over the area of garden you are trying to protect. I have been known to use all the blankets in my house and ask my neighbors for theirs, but have had regular success in saving the garden for many weeks if there is only a one or two night frost situation; the covers help the plants survive those two nights in order to enjoy the Indian Summer later in the fall. Be sure to remove the blanket in the morning so the plants receive sunlight and warmth during the day.
2. Floating Row Crop Covers
Floating covers keep frost and insects off the plants, but allow daylight to provide enough light for growth. Depending on the plant, you can leave the row cover up all day without a problem. Do not forget to water the plants that are beneath the floating row covers.
3. Plastic and Garden Covers
Plastic covers work, particularly if you have a supportive frame to cover the planting bed. If you like, you can add lights at night to increase warmth within the protective frame. In the top photo you see the miniature greenhouse garden cover I have placed over my raised beds from Greenland Gardener. The garden cover is easy to assemble – it took me less than 15 minutes to put this together and place it properly. Unfold, assemble support pole, place in position, tighten Velcro (see photo below), tie the poles together at the top, place over beds, and DONE!
According the FTC, I need to let you know that I received products in this story at no cost in exchange for reviewing them. They worked well and I am happy about that.

Salina, NY -- A U.S. Army ROTC cadet remains hospitalized in critical condition this morning after touching a downed power line Wednesday evening at the U.S. Marine Reserve Center in Salina.
Thomas Feane, 21, of Herkimer, was listed in critical condition this morning by a nursing supervisor at Upstate University Hospital.
Feane and two other cadets were evaluating a section of the reserve center grounds on East Molloy Road for an upcoming training event. They found a downed wire that had more than 34,000 volts that had fallen onto a utility pole guy wire, Onondaga County Sheriff's deputies said.
Feane was shocked when he reached for the wire.

St. Anthony's had its opportunities against Monsignor Farrell, but kept coming away empty.
That changed midway through the final period as the Friars netted the game's only goal on a power play to edge the Lions 1-0 in a CHSHL A contest on Saturday at the Abe Stark Rink in Brooklyn.
"You can't give that team any kind of break. They were primed for the taking and we didn't do it," said Farrell head coach Peter Jerabeck. "A 1-0 game no matter which way you want to slice it is a great game, especially against St. Anthony's."
The two teams entered the contest as the division's top teams and it looked like that early on as neither team scored in the initial period as Farrell goalie Kyle Schumacher (23 saves) and St. Anthony's Dan Peterson (15 stops) played well.
The defending state champion Friars (5-1-0) started building momentum midway through the second period and had its best opportunity late when they had a two-man advantage for 52 seconds.
The South Huntington, L.I., squad failed to capitalize on that golden chance as Schumacher turned aside several shots. Those saves loomed large as the game remained scoreless until St. Anthony's capitalized on another man advantage.
After Farrell (3-2) was whistled for a careless penalty in their defensive zone, the Friars' Matt Martino took a pass on the ensuing faceoff and laced a slapshot past the junior goalie from the right wing with 5:31 remaining.
"We weren't thinking. The guy who (got the penalty) took the puck back into the zone," said Jerabeck. "We were talking about it all game don't take the puck into your own zone. You have 20-30 feet, take the puck and throw it up. And we didn't do that a couple of times. We almost got burnt, but this time we did.
"We had our opportunities. We hit two posts and we had a couple of opportunities on rebounds that just didn't work," added the coach.

NEW ORLEANS — A federal judge has postponed a trial for an offshore service company's lawsuit against the Interior Department over a moratorium that had suspended deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico after BP's oil spill.
The trial for Ensco Offshore Company's lawsuit was scheduled to start May 16, but U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman agreed last week to give both sides more time to submit briefs on pre-trial matters. A new trial date hasn't been set, but it won't start before July 22.
Ensco has accused the government of wrongfully delaying the issuance of permits for deepwater drilling since it lifted a moratorium on the projects in October.
Feldman struck down an initial version of the moratorium after the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded in the Gulf last year.

New York City Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio has hired a Syracuse native to be the city's budget director.
Dean Fuleihan has been appointed to the job, The New York Daily News reported.
Fuleihan was the New York State Assembly's top budget negotiator, as secretary to the Ways and Means Committee for Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver. He retired from that job in 2011.
Silver said the choice was "brilliant."
"I can say from first-hand experience that, having worked with him for more than 20 years, Dean will be an indispensable member of the de Blasio administration and his advice and counsel will be invaluable," Silver said.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman called Fuleihan "an inspired and outstanding choice" to oversee the city budget.

Summary of Petitioned-for Tolerance In the Federal Registers of December 15, 2010 (75 FR 78240) (FRL- 8853-1) and February 4, 2011 (76 FR 6465) (FRL-8858-7), EPA issued notices pursuant to section 408(d)(3) of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of pesticide petitions (PP 0F7773) by Gowan Company, 370 South Main St., Yuma, AZ 85364; and (PP 0E7787) by the Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4), 500 College Road East, Suite 201 W, Princeton, NJ 08540. The petitions requested that 40 CFR 180.448 be amended by establishing tolerances for residues of the insecticide hexythiazox,(trans-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-cyclohexyl-4- methyl-2-oxothiazolidine-3-carboxamide), including its metabolites containing the (4-chlorophenyl)-4-methyl-2-oxo-3-thiazolidine moiety, in or on aspirated grain fractions (PP 0F7773) at 0.5 parts per million (ppm) and greenhouse tomatoes (PP 0E7787) at 0.5 ppm; by increasing the existing tolerance for corn, field, stover from 2.5 ppm to 6 ppm, and by removing the designation of ``Tolerances with regional registrations'' from the tolerances for corn, field, forage; corn, field, grain; and corn, field, stover (PP 0F7773). That notice referenced a summary of the petition prepared by Gowan Company, the registrant, which is available in the docket, http://www.regulations.gov. There were no comments received in response to the notice of filing. Based on EPA's review, Gowan Company revised their petition (PP 0F7773) as follows: i. By increasing the proposed tolerance for corn, field, stover to 7.0 ppm; ii. By adding a request for an increase in the established tolerances for cattle, meat byproducts; goat, meat byproducts; hog, meat byproducts; horse, meat byproducts; and sheep, meat byproducts to 0.05 ppm; and iii. By adding a request for a decrease in the established tolerance for corn, field, forage to 3.0 ppm. The reasons for these changes are explained in Unit IV.C. III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety Section 408(b)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish a tolerance (the legal limit for a pesticide chemical residue in or on a food) only if EPA determines that the tolerance is ``safe.'' Section 408(b)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines ``safe'' to mean that ``there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue, including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable information.'' This includes exposure through drinking water and in residential settings, but does not include occupational exposure. Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA requires EPA to give special consideration to exposure of infants and children to the pesticide chemical residue in establishing a tolerance and to ``ensure that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to infants and children from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue.'' Consistent with section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, and the factors specified in section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, EPA has reviewed the available scientific data and other relevant information in support of this action. EPA has sufficient data to assess the hazards of and to make a determination on aggregate exposure for hexythiazox including exposure resulting from the tolerances established by this action. EPA's assessment of exposures and risks associated with hexythiazox follows. A. Toxicological Profile EPA has evaluated the available toxicity data and considered its validity, completeness, and reliability as well as the relationship of the results of the studies to human risk. EPA has also considered available information concerning the variability of the sensitivities of major identifiable subgroups of consumers, including infants and children. Hexythiazox has low acute toxicity by the oral, dermal and inhalation routes of exposure. It produces mild eye irritation, is not a dermal irritant, and is negative for dermal sensitization. The [[Page 77705]] target organs of hexythiazox are the liver and adrenal glands. Developmental toxicity was not observed in rabbits at the limit dose. Developmental effects observed in the rat occurred only at a dose level where maternal toxicity was observed. Hexythiazox is not a reproductive toxicant. The toxicology database for hexythiazox provides no indication of increased susceptibility in rats or rabbits from in utero and postnatal exposure to hexythiazox. The database does not show any evidence of treatment-related effects on the nervous system or the immune system. Hexythiazox is classified as ``likely to be carcinogenic to humans''. EPA has determined that a non-quantitative risk assessment approach (i.e., nonlinear, reference dose (RfD) approach) was appropriate and protective of all chronic effects including potential carcinogenicity of hexythiazox. Specific information on the studies received and the nature of the adverse effects caused by hexythiazox as well as the no-observed- adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) and the lowest-observed-adverse-effect- level (LOAEL) from the toxicity studies can be found at http://www.regulations.gov in document ``Hexythiazox. Human Health Risk Assessment to Support Amended Use on Field Corn and New Use on Greenhouse Tomatoes'' in docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0916. B. Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern Once a pesticide's toxicological profile is determined, EPA identifies toxicological points of departure (POD) and levels of concern to use in evaluating the risk posed by human exposure to the pesticide. For hazards that have a threshold below which there is no appreciable risk, the toxicological POD is used as the basis for derivation of reference values for risk assessment. PODs are developed based on a careful analysis of the doses in each toxicological study to determine the dose at which no adverse effects are observed (the NOAEL) and the lowest dose at which adverse effects of concern are identified (the LOAEL). Uncertainty/safety factors are used in conjunction with the POD to calculate a safe exposure level--generally referred to as a population adjusted dose (PAD) or a reference dose (RfD)--and a safe margin of exposure (MOE). For non-threshold risks, the Agency assumes that any amount of exposure will lead to some degree of risk. Thus, the Agency estimates risk in terms of the probability of an occurrence of the adverse effect expected in a lifetime. For more information on the general principles EPA uses in risk characterization and a complete description of the risk assessment process, see http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/factsheets/riskassess.htm. A summary of the toxicological endpoints for hexythiazox used for human risk assessment is shown in Table 1 of this unit.

Dietary exposure from food and feed uses. In evaluating dietary exposure to hexythiazox, EPA considered exposure under the petitioned- for tolerances as well as all existing hexythiazox tolerances in 40 CFR 180.448. EPA assessed dietary exposures from hexythiazox in food as follows: i. Acute exposure. Quantitative acute dietary exposure and risk assessments are performed for a food-use pesticide, if a toxicological study has indicated the possibility of an effect of concern occurring as a result of a 1-day or single exposure. No such effects were identified in the toxicological studies for hexythiazox; therefore, a quantitative acute dietary exposure assessment is unnecessary. ii. Chronic exposure. In conducting the chronic dietary exposure assessment EPA used the food consumption data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) 1994-1996 and 1998 Nationwide Continuing Surveys of Food Intake by Individuals (CSFII). As to residue levels in food, EPA used tolerance level residues, assumed 100 percent crop treated (PCT), and incorporated DEEM default processing factors. iii. Cancer. EPA determines whether quantitative cancer exposure and risk assessments are appropriate for a food-use pesticide based on the weight of the evidence from cancer studies and other relevant data. Cancer risk is quantified using a linear or nonlinear approach. If sufficient information on the carcinogenic mode of action is available, a threshold or non-linear approach is used and a cancer RfD is calculated based on an earlier noncancer key event. If carcinogenic mode of action data are not available, or if the mode of action data determines a mutagenic mode of action, a default linear cancer slope factor approach is utilized. Based on the data summarized in Unit III.A of the Federal Register of March 17, 2010 (75 FR 12691) (FRL-8813-7), EPA has concluded that a nonlinear RfD approach is appropriate for assessing cancer risk to hexythiazox. Cancer risk was assessed using the same exposure estimates as discussed in Unit III.C.1.ii., chronic exposure. iv. Anticipated residue and percent crop treated (PCT) information. EPA did not use anticipated residue and/or PCT information in the dietary assessment for hexythiazox. Tolerance level residues and/or 100 PCT were assumed for all food commodities. 2. Dietary exposure from drinking water. The Agency used screening level water exposure models in the dietary exposure analysis and risk assessment for hexythiazox in drinking water. These simulation models take into account data on the physical, chemical, and fate/transport characteristics of hexythiazox. Further information regarding EPA drinking water models used in pesticide exposure assessment can be found at http://www.epa.gov/oppefed1/models/water/index.htm. Based on the Pesticide Root Zone Model/Exposure Analysis Modeling System (PRZM/EXAMS), the estimated drinking water concentration (EDWC) of hexythiazox for chronic exposures for non-cancer and cancer assessments is estimated to be 4.5 parts per billion for surface water. Since surface water residues values greatly exceed groundwater EDWCs, surface water residues were used in the dietary risk assessment. Modeled estimates of drinking water concentrations were directly entered into the dietary exposure model. 3. From non-dietary exposure. The term ``residential exposure'' is used in this document to refer to non-occupational, non-dietary exposure (e.g., for lawn and garden pest control, indoor pest control, termiticides, and flea and tick control on pets). Hexythiazox is not currently registered for any specific use patterns that would result in residential exposure. However, the following uses that could result in residential exposures are pending registration and are included in this risk assessment: Turf, ornamental landscape plantings, ornamental plants, trees and vines in nurseries, residential fruit trees, nut trees, caneberries, and orchids. Residential handler exposures are expected to be short-term (1 to 30 days) via either the dermal or inhalation routes of exposures. Since a quantitative dermal risk assessment is not needed for hexythiazox; MOEs were calculated for the inhalation route of exposure only. Both adults and children may be exposed to hexythiazox residues from contact with treated lawns or treated residential plants. Post application exposures are expected to be short-term (1 to 30 days) and intermediate-term (1 to 6 months) in duration. Adult postapplication exposures were not assessed since no quantitative dermal risk assessment is needed for hexythiazox and inhalation exposures are typically negligible in outdoor settings. The exposure assessment for children included incidental oral exposure resulting from transfer of residues from the hands or objects to the mouth, and from incidental ingestion of soil. Details of the residential exposure and risk assessment can be found at http://www.regulations.gov in document ``Hexythiazox. Human Health Risk Assessment to Support Amended Use on Field Corn and New Use on Greenhouse Tomatoes,'' in docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0916. Further information regarding EPA standard assumptions and generic inputs for residential exposures may be found at http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/trac/science/trac6a05.pdf. 4. Cumulative effects from substances with a common mechanism of toxicity. Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of FFDCA requires that, when considering whether to establish, modify, or revoke a tolerance, the Agency consider ``available information'' concerning the cumulative effects of a particular pesticide's residues and ``other substances that have a common mechanism of toxicity.'' EPA has not found hexythiazox to share a common mechanism of toxicity with any other substances, and hexythiazox does not appear to produce a toxic metabolite produced by other substances. For the purposes of this tolerance action, therefore, EPA has assumed that hexythiazox does not have a common mechanism of toxicity with other substances. For information regarding EPA's efforts to determine which chemicals have a common mechanism of toxicity and to evaluate the cumulative effects of such chemicals, see EPA's Web site at http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative. D. Safety Factor for Infants and Children 1. In general. Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA provides that EPA shall apply an additional tenfold (10X) margin of safety for infants and children in the case of threshold effects to account for prenatal and postnatal toxicity and the completeness of the database on toxicity and exposure unless EPA determines based on reliable data that a different margin of safety will be safe for infants and children. This additional margin of safety is commonly referred to as the FQPA Safety Factor (SF). In applying this provision, EPA either retains the default value of 10X, or uses a different additional safety factor when reliable data available to EPA support the choice of a different factor. 2. Prenatal and postnatal sensitivity. The prenatal and postnatal toxicology data base indicates no increased susceptibility of rats or rabbits to in utero and/or postnatal exposure to hexythiazox. [[Page 77707]] 3. Conclusion. EPA has determined that reliable data show the safety of infants and children would be adequately protected if the FQPA SF were reduced to 1X. That decision is based on the following findings: i. The toxicity database for hexythiazox is complete with the exception of certain new generic testing requirements under revised 40 CFR part 158, including acute and subchronic neurotoxicity studies and an immunotoxicity study. However, the toxicology database does not show any evidence of treatment-related effects on the nervous system or the immune system. The overall weight of evidence suggests that this chemical does not directly target either system. Although acute and subchronic neurotoxicity studies and an immunotoxicity study are required as a part of new data requirements in 40 CFR part 158 for conventional pesticide registrations, the Agency does not believe that conducting these studies will result in a lower POD than any currently used for risk assessment, and therefore, a database uncertainty factor (UF DB) is not needed to account for the lack of these studies. ii. There is no indication that hexythiazox is a neurotoxic chemical and there is no need for a developmental neurotoxicity study or additional UFs to account for neurotoxicity. iii. There is no evidence that hexythiazox results in increased susceptibility in in utero rats or rabbits in the prenatal developmental studies or in young rats in the 2-generation reproduction study. iv. There are no residual uncertainties identified in the exposure databases. The dietary food exposure assessments were performed based on 100 PCT and tolerance-level residues. The dietary risk assessment is highly conservative and not expected to underestimate risk. EPA made conservative (protective) assumptions in the ground and surface water modeling used to assess exposure to hexythiazox in drinking water. EPA used similarly conservative assumptions to assess postapplication exposure of children as well as incidental oral exposure of toddlers. These assessments will not underestimate the exposure and risks posed by hexythiazox. E. Aggregate Risks and Determination of Safety EPA determines whether acute and chronic dietary pesticide exposures are safe by comparing aggregate exposure estimates to the acute population adjusted dose (aPAD) and chronic population adjusted dose (cPAD). For linear cancer risks, EPA calculates the lifetime probability of acquiring cancer given the estimated aggregate exposure. Short-, intermediate-, and chronic-term risks are evaluated by comparing the estimated aggregate food, water, and residential exposure to the appropriate PODs to ensure that an adequate MOE exists. 1. Acute risk. An acute aggregate risk assessment takes into account acute exposure estimates from dietary consumption of food and drinking water. No adverse effect resulting from a single oral exposure was identified and no acute dietary endpoint was selected. Therefore, hexythiazox is not expected to pose an acute risk. 2. Chronic risk. Using the exposure assumptions described in this unit for chronic exposure, EPA has concluded that chronic exposure to hexythiazox from food and water will utilize 51% of the cPAD for children 1 to 2 years of age, the population group receiving the greatest exposure. Based on the explanation in Unit III.C.3., regarding residential use patterns, chronic residential exposure to residues of hexythiazox is not expected. 3. Short-term risk. Short-term aggregate exposure takes into account short-term residential exposure plus chronic exposure to food and water (considered to be a background exposure level). There are potential short-term exposures from the pending residential uses for hexythiazox. The Agency has determined that it is appropriate to aggregate chronic exposure through food and water with short-term residential exposures to hexythiazox. Using the exposure assumptions described in this unit for short- term exposures, EPA has concluded the combined short-term food, water, and residential exposures result in aggregate MOEs of 14,000 for adults and 1,900 for children. Because EPA's level of concern for hexythiazox is a MOE of 100 or below, these MOEs are not of concern. 4. Intermediate-term risk. Intermediate-term aggregate exposure takes into account intermediate-term residential exposure plus chronic exposure to food and water (considered to be a background exposure level). There are potential intermediate-term exposures from the pending residential uses for hexythiazox. The Agency has determined that it is appropriate to aggregate chronic exposure through food and water with intermediate-term residential exposures to hexythiazox. Using the exposure assumptions described in this unit for intermediate-term exposures, EPA has concluded that the combined intermediate-term food, water, and residential exposures result in aggregate MOEs of 14,000 for adults and 2,100 for children. Because EPA's level of concern for hexythiazox is a MOE of 100 or below, these MOEs are not of concern. 5. Aggregate cancer risk for U.S. population. As discussed in Unit III. C.1.iii., EPA concluded that regulation based on the chronic reference dose will be protective for both chronic and carcinogenic risks. As noted in this unit there are no chronic risks of concern. 6. Determination of safety. Based on these risk assessments, EPA concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to the general population, or to infants and children from aggregate exposure to hexythiazox residues. IV. Other Considerations A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology Adequate enforcement methodology (high performance liquid chromatography method with ultra violet detection (HPLC/UV) is available to enforce the tolerance expression. The method may be requested from: Chief, Analytical Chemistry Branch, Environmental Science Center, 701 Mapes Rd., Ft. Meade, MD 20755-5350; telephone number: (410) 305-2905; email address: firstname.lastname@example.com. B. International Residue Limits In making its tolerance decisions, EPA seeks to harmonize U.S. tolerances with international standards whenever possible, consistent with U.S. food safety standards and agricultural practices. EPA considers the international maximum residue limits (MRLs) established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), as required by FFDCA section 408(b)(4). The Codex Alimentarius is a joint U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization food standards program, and it is recognized as an international food safety standards-setting organization in trade agreements to which the United States is a party. EPA may establish a tolerance that is different from a Codex MRL; however, FFDCA section 408(b)(4) requires that EPA explain the reasons for departing from the Codex level. Codex MRLs are established for residues of hexythiazox on ``edible offal (mammalian)'' and ``poultry, edible offal'' at 0.05 ppm. A Codex MRL is established for tomatoes at 0.1 ppm. No other Codex, Canadian or Mexican MRLs are established for the commodities that are the subject of these petitions. Codex and U.S. [[Page 77708]] tolerance expressions are harmonized at this time. Since the maximum residue seen in the U.S. green house tomato data is 0.34 ppm, harmonizing with the Codex MRL of 0.1 ppm at this time is not possible as over tolerance residues in the U.S. could result if the Codex MRL were adopted. C. Revisions to Petitioned-For Tolerances Based on EPA's review, Gowan Company revised their petition (PP 0F7773) by increasing the proposed tolerance for corn, field, stover to 7.0 ppm; by requesting an increase in the established tolerances for cattle, meat byproducts; goat, meat byproducts; hog, meat byproducts; horse, meat byproducts; and sheep, meat byproducts to 0.5 ppm; and by requesting a decrease in the established tolerance for corn, field, forage to 3.0 ppm. The Agency concluded that based on the residue data, these changes are required to support the amended and new uses. The decrease in the field corn forage tolerance and the increase in the stover tolerance were recommended by the Agency as a result of analyzing the submitted field trial data for these commodities using the OECD MRL (Maximum Residue Limit) calculator. The increase in the meat byproduct tolerances is driven by the anticipated increase in residues in field corn animal feed items as a result of the revised use pattern for hexythiazox on field corn and was set numerically to be harmonized with the current Codex MRL for meat byproducts. EPA is also removing expired Section 18 tolerances for corn, field, forage; corn, field, grain; and corn, field, stover. V. Conclusion Therefore, tolerances are established for residues of hexythiazox, including its metabolites containing the (4-chlorophenyl)-4-methyl-2- oxo-3-thiazolidine moiety, as requested in the revised petitions. VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews This final rule establishes tolerances under section 408(d) of FFDCA in response to petitions submitted to the Agency. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from review under Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this final rule has been exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this final rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). This final rule does not contain any information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., nor does it require any special considerations under Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis of a petition under section 408(d) of FFDCA, such as the tolerances in this final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply. This final rule directly regulates growers, food processors, food handlers, and food retailers, not States or tribes, nor does this action alter the relationships or distribution of power and responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions of section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. As such, the Agency has determined that this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or tribal governments, on the relationship between the national government and the States or tribal governments, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. Thus, the Agency has determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) and Executive Order 13175, entitled Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply to this final rule. In addition, this final rule does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 104-4). This action does not involve any technical standards that would require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). VII. Congressional Review Act The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of this final rule in the Federal Register. This final rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Several people are without a home after a Huntsville apartment complex caught fire this afternoon, officials said.
At least four units at Quail Pointe Apartments off of University Drive west of Jordan Lane were damaged by the fire, officials said. Huntsville Fire & Rescue, Huntsville police and HEMSI responded to the fire shortly before 2 p.m.
Based on initial information, no one was injured, but at least three adults were displaced because of the fire.
