Mackinac Island carriages await
MACKINAC ISLAND -- Beyond the fudge shops, tourist attractions and souvenir emporiums of Mackinac Island's Main Street, a whole other world greets visitors as they explore the rest of the island.
Since no motorized vehicles are allowed on the island, options include walking, bicycling or taking a horse-drawn carriage ride to see key points of interest.
For a fun, family experience that won't tire the little ones (or the older folks!), a carriage tour offers something for everyone -- combining trivia and historical facts, as well as giving an overview of the island. Best of all, visitors don't have to pedal or plod along -- just sit back and enjoy the ride.
"I've been giving tours off and on for the past 20 years," said Jim Gillespie, who grew up on the island. He is a taxi and tour driver for Gough's Taxi and Livery, one of several island carriage and taxi services available on the island. Directing horses Tom and Jerry, Gillespie leads them around the island's main road and past scenic spots, such as notable turn-of-the century Victorian homes, Fort Mackinac and the Governor's Mansion.
During the summer, he gives seven or eight tours a day, resting his team of horses between trips.
Tours are available through Gough's Taxi and Livery, Arrowhead Livery Carriages and Mackinac Island Carriage Tours.
If you want to try driving your own horse and buggy around the island, contact Jack's Livery Stable. Rates and times vary.
Tours are available starting in early or mid-May and run through mid- to late October. Most tours run about an hour.
"It's one of the best ways to see the island," Gillespie said.

you are right how do you think that i learned English just by school lol :p i learned it trough games. there are probably a lot more things i learned from gamus but i do not know directly what
This is quite a shame, kids/younger teens should enjoy many things especially active stuff, I think it's fun... and games are not going anywhere while your outside =/
true i can't swim..in RL...but i do in the game
Why not make a video game that teaches kids how to tie their shoes in a fun way? People need to think outside the box, stop blaming the future and learn to adjust with the flow.

In men, testosterone is made in testicles but its production is primarily regulated by the pituitary gland. Testosterone is important for many aspects of health. Aside from sexual function, testosterone also is important for maintaining muscle mass, bone density, red blood cells, metabolism, balanced mood, and healthy cholesterol levels. As you age, your levels of testosterone will gradually decline. As testosterone levels decline, men may experience symptoms such as:
- Low libido
- Loss of muscle mass
- Anemia
- Weight gain
- Increase cholesterol
- Lack of energy
Hormone replacement therapy is now becoming very popular amongst men to combat the reduction in testosterone which comes with aging. However, there are many risks that are associated with this treatment so a natural solution such as Provacyl male supplements may be a better choice.
What is Provacyl?
Provacyl is a male supplement which has two main goal: to increase the production of testosterone and also of HGH (human growth hormone). It mainly achieves both of these results in the same way by improving pituitary function. The ingredients in Provacyl, such as amino acids and nutrients, support the pituitary gland so it can naturally make more testosterone as well as HGH.
Because Provacyl does not directly increase testosterone levels (it instead helps your body make more testosterone naturally), there is no real risk of a testosterone surplus. You will not experience any of the risks or side effects which are associated with hormone replacement therapy for men. Provacyl is considered safe for virtually all men and can be bought without a prescription. However, Provacyl will not give immediate results. It usually takes several weeks of regular Provacyl use before optimal benefits are achieved.
Overview of Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone replacement therapy is a method of directly supplying your body with more testosterone. Usually, the testosterone for HRT is given as an injection but it can also be given as a patch (typically worn on the testicles). HRT for men is very effective and will give results very quickly. However, it comes at a serious risk. HRT for men can cause:
Men taking testosterone HRT will need to be regularly monitored by their doctors. Their doctors will generally take blood tests or other tests to check for cancer, abnormal cholesterol levels, or changes in red cell count, amongst other anomalies.
Because HRT comes at a risk, it is only available with a prescription. Most doctors will only prescribe it in serious cases. For this reason, most men who just want to avoid the symptoms of aging would be better off with a supplement like Provacyl for increasing testosterone. It is completely safe to use Provacyl, gets results in a reasonable time frame, and is readily available without any special trips to the doctor required.

We're happy to learn Elmo and his cronies from Sesame Street are coming to Portland in mid-May for a three-day stint.
According to a blurb for this "Elmo's Healthy Heroes" musical coming to the Memorial Coliseum, "When Super Grover loses his superness, Sesame Street needs a hero! Never fear, Elmo and his team of Healthy Heroes are here. Teaching lessons of healthy habits through song and dance, Elmo, Abby Cadabby and your favorite Sesame Street friends will explore exercise, nutrition, sleep/energy and hygiene – all in a quest to put the "super" back in Super Grover. It's Elmo's Healthy Heroes to the rescue!"
Indeed Sesame Street is in need of heroes, given that federal support for public broadcasting this week faces a congressional budget axe. And public broadcasting's defenders—among them U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.)—are trotting out "Arthur," "Elmo" and all the PBS kiddie characters as soldiers in this war of words.

A Tea Party-affiliated group has released a new television advertisement supporting Republican Senate candidate Mike Sullivan.
The ad is a positive spot featuring Sullivan's Massachusetts supporters talking about why they support him – focusing on issues such as creating jobs, cutting spending and supporting the Second Amendment. The Conservative Campaign Committee will be running the minute-long ad on FOX News Channel in Boston and Worcester.
Sullivan is competing with State Rep. Daniel Winslow and private equity investor Gabriel Gomez in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate, which will be held Tuesday.
The California-based group is controversial because of incendiary language its leader Lloyd Marcus has used about gay people. Sullivan has condemned the comments. By law, Sullivan cannot coordinate with any outside group.
The Conservative Campaign Committee previously released two negative radio ads attacking Sullivan's opponents. Conservative Campaign Committee spokesman Ryan Gill said those ads are now airing on about a dozen radio stations.
The group has spent around $30,000 so far on advertising for Sullivan.
Meanwhile, Winslow is soliciting donations to air two web advertisements. One focuses on the Boston Herald's endorsement of Winslow. The other attacks Sullivan and Gomez. It goes after Gomez for a letter Gomez sent Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick saying he supported Democratic President Barack Obama, and it goes after Sullivan for "lobbying to give himself a sweetheart government pension." (The Boston Globe reported that Sullivan, through work for the Massachusetts District Attorneys Association, lobbied to give top prosecutors a raise and won a controversial pension boost from the Legislature.)

Stickers on envelopes and a table in the locker room were among the 21 violations self-reported by Mississippi State during the 2013-14 school year, according to information obtained by the Clarion-Ledger.
Eight of the violations involved the football program, including a table set up in the locker room by the football staff to display game equipment. The table was deemed to be an impermissible "special addition" to the locker room.
Also deemed to be a violation where stickers on 2014 Junior Day invitations that read: "Elite Junior Day 2014 Official Invite."
Other football violations involved a tweets sent publicly instead of as direct messages, impermissible phone calls, recruiting materials sent during a prospect's sophomore year, an apartment complex and a website using players' names and/or images, a caterer tweeting about feeding recruits during an official visit weekend, and one East Mississippi Community College prospect who was provided an official visit after he had already used his allotment of five.
Other violations included two baseball players who received reserved seating football tickets, a golf coach treating his team to dinner and a night of bowling, and a Barnes & Noble failing to charge student-athletes late fees for cap and gown rentals.
The SEC accepted Mississippi State's self-imposed penalties in those reports to which the conference responded.

Language is power. George Orwell recognized this in his novel 1984 through the character Syme, who is vaporized by Big Brother due to his keen understanding of how thought can be controlled through the manipulation of language.
In a similar vein, we in the manufacturing and engineering community have ceded control over the discussion of our role in the economy and our importance to national security. Almost without exception, our role is being characterized by various pundits across the general media, few, if any, of whom have a manufacturing or engineering background.
By allowing others to frame our importance to the nation and the economy, not only do we lose the debate, but also we lose the opportunity to even enter into the debate. Statistical snippets, opinions, and sound-bite friendly catch phrases, repeated often enough, become commonly accepted truths to the public.
Here are some of the more common phrases or statements in current use that illustrate this point.
Statement: "Manufacturing makes up only 20% of the nation's output."
Message: 20% is relatively small. Why should we worry so much about it?
Rebuttal: Lies, damn lies and statistics. The heart that pumps the blood around my body accounts for only 2% of my body mass. Yet it is a 2% I would rather not do without.
Statement: "The United States is developing a post-industrial economy."
Message: Our society or economy has become so sophisticated that we no longer need to be concerned with where things are designed or produced.
Rebuttal: Name one global power in the history of the world that built its greatness on a service-based economy. Post-industrial is post-relevant.
Statement: Factory workers are "Joe Six-pack or Joe Lunchbox."
Message: These guys are rubes.
Rebuttal: My colleagues who work in our production department have real, honest-to-goodness names like Paul, Rich, Ron and Janet. They are highly skilled tradesmen and women. This is a derogatory, snide characterization. How would financial analysts and economists enjoy being called "Joe earnings report spinner" and "Joe dismal-scientist?"
Now here's a phrase that deserves to be back in use:
"The Arsenal of Democracy."
We used to use words and phrases like that to refer to our country. An arsenal is not only a place where weapons are stored but it is a place where things are made. The implicit meaning of the arsenal of democracy goes beyond its militaristic connotations. The phrase elegantly marries the idea that the ability to defend and advance our democratic principles is fundamentally tied to our nation's strength as a manufacturer. I would further add that the concept includes both military and consumer goods.
Every one of us who cares about and understands the importance of manufacturing and engineering to our nation's future needs to vigorously challenge these commonly accepted statements printed above that denigrate manufacturing and all who work in it. Begin by speaking up if the subject comes up among family or friends. Or bring it up yourself; let's get the debate going now.

Under a quota system, the number of Chinese tourists coming to Taiwan per day is capped at 4,000 group travelers and 1,000 independent tourists. This April, however, it will be relaxed to 5,000 tourists in groups and 2,000 solo tourists, suggesting that the potential number could expand even faster going forward, Chow said. "To fully embrace the potential of the tourism boom, the government needs to advance carefully with a well thought out, comprehensive plan," Chow added. The economist said Taiwan will need to meet the expectations of international tourists by improving the country's tourism infrastructure and by building unique, high quality tourism products and services, which are key to enhancing competitiveness as a tourist destination. Policymakers should also ensure that the economic advantages of tourism are shared evenly, Chow said, noting that the rampant price competition between Chinese and local tour operators is lowering the quality of prepaid tour packages.

Wednesday: Great Lakes (Jharel Cotton, 2-3, 3.43) at West Michigan, 11 a.m.
Thursday: Great Lakes (Carlos Frias, 4-2, 1.72) at West Michigan, 6:35 p.m.
Great Debut: The much-anticipated professional debut of Los Angeles Dodgers prospect Julio Urias came Sunday in a 2-1, 12-inning loss. But the 16-year-old Urias was impressive, pitching the first three innings. He allowed two hits and one walk, but not runs, striking out six. The 5-foot-11 left-hander from Mexico was signed in August and has spent the first part of the season in extended spring training before the Dodgers activated him for Sunday's start.
Great relief: Urias was not the only new pitcher for the Loons Sunday. Alan Garcia was also added from extended spring training. Garcia followed Urias with two shutout innings, walking one and striking out three. Geoff Brown added three innings and gave up one hit, plus an unearned run to tie the game in the seventh. Craig Stem followed with three more shutout innings.
Loss: In the top of the 12th, Great Lakes closer Scott Griggs allowed a double to Junior Arias, who stole third and scored on a sacrifice fly with the winning run.
Run: The Loons scored their lone run in the first inning. Tyler Ogle and Paul Hoenecke walked, with Ogle coming home on a single by Devin Shines. The Loons went the next 11 innings without scoring.
Hitters: Hoenecke led the offense with his 10th double of the season and two walks. Jeremy Rathjen also walked twice and stole a base.
Roster moves: The make room for Urias and Garcia, the Dodgers promoted reliever Joel Lima to Double A Chattanooga and put pitcher Ralston Cash on the disabled list.
Losing: The Loons are 6-19 in May. The Great Lakes record for least wins in a season is nine. Great Lakes is 17-32 this season.
Road trip: After a Memorial Day afternoon game at Dow Diamond Monday, the Loons go on the road for three games against West Michigan, the Detroit Tigers Single A team. The Loons return home Friday for a four-game series against Lansing.
Promotions: Today is a special Memorial Day afternoon game, with the Loons collecting items to send to military members. When the Loons return Friday to Dow Diamond, fans will have a chance to win one of nine flat screen TVs as part of Friday's flat screen giveaway.

Telecommuting could save companies $10,000 per year per employee and save employees several thousand dollars a year, according to a new report.
Telecommuting (aka teleworking or workshifting), if you haven't heard of it, is where employees work from home or some other location rather than in a company office. A new report titled Workshifting Benefits: The Bottom Line [PDF] finds that telecommuting could save companies over $10,000 per employee per year (assuming employees telecommute half-time and from home, which is approximately the national average for those who currently do so).
Expanding these findings out to the country as a whole, US companies could save over $400 billion a year.
These savings come from "increased productivity, reduced facility costs, lowered absenteeism, and reduced turnover."
Savings for Employees
The employers aren't the only ones who would save money, though. Telecommuting "could save employees between $2,000 and $6,800 per year—the result of reduced driving and fewer work-related expenses."
Nationwide, that comes to $170 billion a year.
Additionally, the average employee would save approximately 2-3 workweeks a year from telecommuting.
Benefits for the Nation
There are some significant benefits the nation as a whole would gain from more telecommuting, too. A few such benefits the report mentions are that the nation would:
• Save $23 billion a year in imported oil;
• Cut Persian Gulf imports by 37%;
• Reduce greenhouse gases by the equivalent of taking almost 10 million cars off the road;
• Achieve 27% of the nation's 2020 goal for GHG reduction from light cars and trucks;
• Prevent over 95,000 traffic injuries and deaths;
• Save over $11 billion in accident costs;
• Lower highway maintenance costs almost $2 billion a year.
Telecommuting Slow to Catch On, but Changing?
Unfortunately, telecommuting is an idea that started decades ago but has been slow to catch on.
Currently, not even 2% of employees consider home their primary place of work. Theoretical estimates and empirical evidence suggest that approximately 40% of working people have jobs that could, at least part of the time, be performed from a remote location (not in the office, that is).
Although, things may be changing now. There was a 74% increase in telecommuting from 2005 to 2008.
Additionally, federal employees "have been required to telework to the maximum extent possible since 2000." (Although, only 5.2% currently do so.)
But, again, there is hope. The "current administration's proposed budget for 2011 calls for a 50% increase in telework," the report highlights. Additionally, the House and the Senate have both passed bills aimed at enforcing the federal telecommuting mandates.
Will telecommuting finally become a widely used option in the near future? Will we capitalize on its huge potential benefits?
TechCast, a virtual think tank based out of George Washington University, says we will. It forecasts that "30% of the employees in industrialized nations will telework 2–3 days a week by the year 2019." Do you telecommute or have it as an option at your job? If not, is it on your company's radar?

Britain could lose as many as 200,000 jobs because of protectionist financial regulations in European countries, according to the main lobbying group for the City.
London's status as the financial centre for Europe could be eroded by regulators' increasing demands that trading should take place domestically, rather than being booked through international hubs, a report by TheCityUK says.

When Baldwin County guitarist Jody Payne died in August, his passing drew a response from music fans nationwide thanks in large part to Payne's long association with Willie Nelson. Now plans are in place for at least two tribute events at which area musicians will pay their respects.
The first takes place Sunday, Oct. 20, at American Legion Post 199, 700 S. Mobile St. in Fairhope. Plans call for the event to take place at the post's beach stage, though it will be moved indoors in case of inclement weather. Music starts at 3 p.m.
There is no admission charge. Listeners are encouraged to bring chairs and blankets, but coolers and glass containers will not be allowed on the beach. The venue's tiki bar will be open and food will be available.
Musicians interested in participating should contact host Alan Hartzell via e-mail at alanhartzellmusic@gmail.
Another tribute to Payne is planned for Saturday, Oct. 26 at Blue Moon Farm, a private concert venue near Silverhill. According to the venue's website, "Family, friends and fans are all welcome ... Bring a dish, a cooler, guitars, memories and smiles as we remember this wonderful, talented and giving man."
The event takes place from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., and there is no admission charge. For more information, visit www.thefrogpondatbluemoonfarm.com.
Payne toured with Nelson from 1973 through 2008, when he retired from touring. A 2011 Press-Register profile by Jim Hannaford described him as playing occasional gigs, teaching lessons at Picker's Paradise in Stapleton and generally taking advantage of time to relax and enjoy life with his wife, Vicki.
His death at age 77 was attributed to cardiac problems. His passing was noted in industry media outlets such as Rolling Stone and Billboard.

I know, I know, you've caught me complaining about being the only girl in my house, whining about not having a daughter, and witnessed my monster-in-law tendencies firsthand.
The truth is, I love mothering boys.
Whether you're the mom of all boys, all girls, multiples, a large family, or adoptive children, even well-meaning people prove time and again just how much they suck at conversational banter.
As a member of the MOB (Mom of Boys) club, I hear variations of these 8 obnoxious phrases all the time; check them out after the jump!
You need to have a girl 1 of 8I need to? Like what will happen if I don't? Is my family then somehow incomplete? Please allow my heart to decide what I "need".
Image credit: Shutterstock
Boys are easier 2 of 8Really now. You've obviously never seen my sons within 5 feet of each other. I happen to believe personality rather than gender determine the level of difficulty in any relationship, parenting included.
Image credit: Shutterstock
Toy guns make boys aggressive 3 of 8We may have to agree to disagree on this point. Even the mildest of boys fashions toy guns out of Legos and sticks. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to fish a Nerf bullet outta my bra...

The 86 is a great board. I sailed on it in the Canaries and it was really fast. I didn't race on it but Tiesda brought it down to test out the new boards and it was great. i would say it has that just refined shape of the 87 which is going to make it just a bit better!

The Marshall County Board of Supervisors approved a 2 percent salary raise for county elected officials, including themselves, at a meeting Tuesday.
The approval came after the compensation board recently recommended a 3 percent raise for the county treasurer, attorney, auditor/recorder, sheriff and the three supervisors.
Supervisor Denny Grabenbauer made the motion for the 2 percent raise and said the raise is in line with other county staff and union negotiations for this year.
Article Photos
Supervisor Deane Adams talks about raises for county elected officials while Dave Thompson looks on during a meeting Tuesday.
"I'm trying to keep everything uniform," Grabenbauer said.
Supervisor Deane Adams originally gave a motion to stick with the 3 percent recommendation saying it was fair, but it was not seconded by any other supervisor.
"That 3 percent is not going to break us," Adams said.
Adams voted in approval of the 2 percent raise, which received a "no" vote from Supervisors Chair Dave Thompson, but still passed 2-1.
Thompson said his vote was more of a "protest vote" after Grabenbauer and Adams approved it, since the vote didn't matter. He said he was protesting a flawed compensation system that doesn't take into account the benefit package provided by the county.
"It only takes into consideration salaries and not into consideration the total compensation package and I feel the law is flawed," Thompson said.
In other action from the meeting, the board approved the leasing of the county farmland in the vicinity of the jail. A bid of $380 an acre per year was approved from Lee Smith of Marshalltown. The lease agreement is good for two years and will pay the county $87,400 a year. This is down from the bid for the last two years of $430 an acre. The supervisors expected a lower bid for the acreage due to lower commodity prices.
"It's pretty much what we expected," Thompson said.
The supervisors contemplated selling the farmland last year to pay for future bridge projects, but opted for the continued income from leasing it.

A Lenten Visit To St. Al's
The smell of Lent comes wafting past my nose as I take a seat in the back row. I detect the faint scent of incense. From this vantage point I can take in most of the important sights I came to see.
St. Alphonsus Church in Center Wheeling is one of the oldest and most beautiful Catholic churches in West Virginia. I am not a parishioner but an admirer of the architecture, religious artifacts and traditions found here.
It was my father's childhood church. The school and rectory have since met the wrecking ball and he would probably have mixed feelings about that. He often talked about his days attending the "Dutch prison" as he and his classmates called the parish school.
Maybe the nuns were tough on their students, but he also spoke fondly of some of the events of his Catholic upbringing during a time when many people struggled to feed their families.
The church – the people and the building – were most important to him and to the German-populated Center Wheeling neighborhood in which he lived. Beer-making in the alley was put aside on Sundays when you dared not miss morning Mass. My father was an altar boy (there were no women on the altar in those days) who took his job seriously even if it meant serving early Mass on school days.
While I belong to St. Michael Parish in Wheeling, I make a yearly pilgrimage to St. Al's during Lent as a sort of tribute to my dad and his childhood tales. It isn't merely the church building with its saintly relics, impressive statues and highly-polished floors that I enjoy during my visit. The church allows me to share in what my father lived and loved.
I sit in quiet thought trying to imagine how that skinny kid named Harry climbed those steep steps into the church, and how his faith never wavered during poverty, while dodging bullets in World War II or as a young newspaper editor, taking on the city's criminal underworld via the editorial page.
I believe all those steps and kneeling and prayers gave him a leg up in life. He didn't always have it easy but I don't recall him complaining even when his knee would bleed from the shrapnel that continued to work itself to the surface decades after the war. If he and my mother imparted anything upon their 12 children, it was the need for faith in God.
As their children, we grew up knowing Sunday was a special day that always began with going to church. When the family got so big, my parents would take us children to church in shifts so that one of them was always home with the babies too young to sit quietly through a High Mass.
Plenty has changed since my dad knelt in prayer at St. Alphonsus. The house where he grew up is long gone, but his beloved church and the nearby Centre Market buildings are still standing. And, in many ways, he is still there, too.

This story updates Chicopee firefighters still at 247 Langevin Street blaze
CHICOPEE - Fire totaled a Cape-style home at 247 Langevin Street in Chicopee Saturday causing more than $100,000 in damage but there were no injuries.
None of the four residents, two of them children, were home at the time, said Chicopee Fire Department Deputy Chief Joseph R. Crevier. The mother and children arrived home after neighbors had noticed the fire and called it in. They'd been gone a little less than two hours.
Neighbors called the fire in at about noon, Crevier said. Firefighters arrived in about four minutes to find a full-involved structure fire.
The family had a dog, a cat and fish. Firefighters were able to rescue the dog.
The cause is still under investigation, but is this is not believed to be a suspicious.
Chicopee firefighters also responded to a small fire in the outside corner of a Edward Street garage Saturday. That fire was quickly handled, Crevier said.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Staten Islanders participated in a variety of events yesterday to celebrate the season of giving, and share with those who are facing hard times this Thanksgiving.
Members of Staten Island Project Homefront assembled more than 500 care packages yesterday in the basement of New Dorp Moravian Church, to bring some holiday cheer to members of the military stationed overseas.
The packages of toiletries, snacks, puzzles, games, stationery and gifts will be shipped out Monday to local servicemen and -women stationed in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait. Heartfelt, supportive letters written by Islanders and addressed to the troops were added to the packages.
Debbie Parsons of Project Homefront said she got a surprise phone call two weeks ago from a local soldier in Afghanistan, calling to thank her for sending an earlier care package.
"You have no idea what it means to us over here," the man told her.
"I couldn't believe it," she said, adding she hadn't recognized the area code and nearly didn't answer, thinking it was a solicitor calling. "He was so thrilled to get this box from us."
Among the helpers packing the boxes yesterday were members of the Pleasant Plains, Prince's Bay, Richmond Valley Civic Association, led by President Janine Materna. "I'm amazed at the work Project Homefront does for our men and women fighting overseas," she said. "I plan on working very closely [with the group] as they continue to bring some of the comforts of home to those who serve so bravely."
A tractor-trailer pulled up outside Borough Hall in St. George yesterday, filled with 700 turkeys and non-perishable food donated by ShopRite.
Borough President James P. Molinaro's annual Turkey Donation Give-Away was held in conjunction with the Korean American Association, which provided a generous donation to the effort, as it has for the past 19 years. St. Joseph's R.C. Church in Rosebank donated food baskets, and members of a club at Monsignor Farrell High School provided baby supplies they collected.
Borough Hall staff and students from several local schools gathered to distribute the food to more than 40 Island organizations that serve the needy.
HealthPlus also donated turkeys, and Costco supplied non-perishable food.
"In this time of economic turmoil, we can hopefully make the holiday season a little brighter for those in need," Molinaro said.
Sen. Diane Savino joined with the Staten Island chapter of the New York Urban League, along with Retail, Wholesale & Department Store Union, Local 338, and other organizations to distribute bags filled with 14-pound turkeys and all the fixings to more than 200 needy families.
Thanksgiving events on Staten Island
"During tough economic times, many families are having a difficult enough time putting food on the table throughout the year, much less Thanksgiving Day," Sen. Savino said. "That is why I am very happy to do my part on brightening the holiday season for Staten Islanders in need."
Community Health Center of Richmond also donated turkeys to its clients at Project Hospitality and HealthPlus, and the staff at Community Resources prepared their annual Thanksgiving Feast for program participants.

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Alabama scores higher than any other state in the nation in teaching its children about civil rights history, according to a new report released today.
The Southern Poverty Law Center has released "Teaching the Movement: The State of Civil Rights Education in the U.S.," the first report of its kind to measure the level of civil rights history included in state curriculum standards.
Alabama earned an "A" for its work, along with New York and Florida, according to the report.
Maureen Costello, director of the center's Teaching Tolerance initiative, said the overall nationwide results were "dismal," with a total of 35 states receiving failing grades.
The southern states fared best, Costello said. In most cases, the further away from the south a state is, the worse the state's standards are.
Sixteen of the states, including Hawaii -- the birthplace of the U.S.'s first African-American president -- have no state standards for teaching civil rights history, the report shows.

By Carol T. Bradford
Contributing writer
Dear Carol: I receive a lot of catalogues this time of year and I have a question about the trees offered. Are they worth the money? Will any of them flower or bear fruit in my lifetime? Some offers of say 10 or so for barriers are appealing but will they ever be big enough to block the view of my neighbor's junk pile? How can I decide whether to buy plants or seeds of certain plants? -- T.S., East Syracuse.
Dear T.S.: Catalogues ... Keep a stack of them by your easy chair, but don't get too carried away placing orders for more than you could fit in a garden 10 times the size of what you have. Read the descriptions carefully.
Fruit trees and bushes are best ordered from specialist nursery catalogues. The reason is that local garden centers only carry the varieties most in demand, the ones with names consumers recognize, the most popular commercial varieties. Home gardeners can do much better.
That said, everybody's first apple tree is a 'McIntosh' or a 'Golden Delicious.' Only after it dies -- unregretted -- can you move on to more flavorful, disease resistant varieties.
Planting a fruit tree isn't like planting an oak or even a sycamore. The life span of a fruit tree is shorter than you might expect. You should be getting crops the third year after planting a grafted tree. Age, insects and diseases take their toll so that you may be ready to replace the tree in 10 to 15 years. Apple trees can live much longer, but aren't productive without regular pruning. Peaches, plums and cherries die. That's normal.
As for seeds versus plants, that depends on what's available, your level of experience and how much work you're willing to do. Those new echinaceas are produced in a laboratory by tissue culture. They can't be grown from seed.
Other plants have dust-like seed, require complex sequences of cold and heat treatments, take years of growing on before they can be set into permanent locations or are so finicky they are better left to specialists.
Some plants grow easily from seed planted directly outdoors. It would be silly to buy transplants of radishes, peas, spinach and so on. The length of the growing season in Central New York is one factor. If the crop can be harvested in 75 days, you're good to grow.
If the crop takes 100 days or more, it's not going to happen unless the seeds are started indoors and set out as fair sized plants. Some plants transplant poorly and are better planted where they are going to stay. Carrots, beets, morning glories, sweet corn, snap beans, cucumbers and others are set back by root disturbance, "transplant shock."
Onions and peppers aren't bothered in the least.

If you recall, just as spring training started, we warned of the dueling news story options of the beat writer: "Rookie profile" or "Can the vet still bring it?" Well, Mark Feinsand goes for the latter option today after speaking with Jason Giambi yesterday. The Times has a look at Giambi as well, noting that any appearance in the infield this spring is purely a mirage. Newsday's Jim Baumbach similarly looks to Jorge Posada, and Baumbach's colleague Mark Herrman offers a write-up that also loosely fits into category two, profiling Chien-Ming Wang today. Bob Klapisch, who we're always willing to listen to, has a good one on Mike Mussina.
Meanwhile, it seems funny, but the media folks are right that any injury -- even a minor one -- to Carl Pavano merits greater attention. Pavano is waiting on results of his MRI, but it's all "precautionary" (not to mention kind of hilarious). (UPDATE: Since posting this entry, Mark Feinsand revealed that Carl Pavano's MRI indicates a bone bruise in his foot. The Yanks still have yet to announce how much time he will miss. We presume it will be the season.)
But Pavano isn't the only one. It's typical that players suffer minor injuries early in spring training; after taking summers off or entertaining a reduced workout regimen, getting back in shape is a painful process. Brian Bruney will be out for a few days with what the team is calling a "sharp pain" in his life side. We're not doctors, but that sure sounds like appendicitis. As it stands, however, the Yankees are calling it minor and it could just be major soreness from pitching for the first time in months.
The casual fan may say, "So what? Who's Brian Bruney?" But we sort of figure that over time he will become the consistent seventh-inning guy; the Tanyon Sturtze of this season.
Speaking of the bullpen, Bill Madden goes back to the Bernie Williams saga, noting that the era of pitching specialization (i.e. Mike Myers and the LOOGY) helped push Bernie out the door.
Johnny Damon is back with the team after taking two days off to tend to personal matters and, other than that, part of being a Yankee fan is appreciating the history, so look at the Times' profile of Joe DiGangi today, who was the Yankee bullpen catcher from 1933-1941.

An administrative law examiner on Monday suspended Genetski's license effective April 9, finding he refused a Breathalyzer test after his arrest Jan. 19 for operating while intoxicated. The suspension will conclude on April 8, 2013.
Just hours after the morning ruling, Progress Michigan posted a job listing on Craigslist seeking a full-time driver for the Saugatuck Republican.
"Full-time driver being sought for second-term state representative after he was dealt a bad hand by Lady Justice," the listing reads. "Frequent, one hour and 41 minute commute to and from Saugatuck and Lansing with a fun up-and-comer who loves an occasional drink (or two).
"Court fees are high so unfortunately minimum wage, but will make it up with admission to all of Lansing's finest establishments."
The listing says preference will be given to college students, taking a shot at Genetski's record while leading the House Subcommittee on Higher Education.
"Job will provide extra $$$ to make up for tuition increases the legislator voted for last year as chair of the Higher Education committee," the listing reads.
The listing says applicants must have a valid driver's license, no expired license plate tags, ability to stay within the speed limit and "ABSOLUTELY no drinking and driving (been there, done that)."
"It's not something totally unexpected because we're talking about politics and sometimes people let their passionate side get the better of them," he said.
"Drunk driving is serious. It's serious for victims and for people charged with the crime, whether they're guilty or innocent, and some times there's a very fine line between the two with the way the law is written."
But Mitchell Rivard, communications specialist for Progress Michigan, said his organization takes the situation seriously.
"We think it's unfortunate how Rep. Genetski behaved following the State of the State address," he said. "This is a very serious matter, but hopefully this is something where Rep. Genetski can hire a driver. That's something he hasn't done now in the past three years in the House -- being a job creator."
Genetski, 45, was pulled over along Michigan Avenue in East Lansing around 1:30 a.m. on Jan. 19, just hours after Gov. Rick Snyder's address.
Genetski said he was coming from the Capitol, where he had had two beers, and was on his way to his East Lansing hotel.
He failed a field sobriety, according to police, then refused a road-side breath test. Police say Genetski later refused a Breathalyzer test at the Michigan State University Police Department.
Refusing a Breathalyzer is a violation of Michigan's implied consent law and punishable by a one-year driver's license suspension and six points on a driver's record.
Craigslist prohibits posting "false or fraudulent content" on its website, according to its terms of use. When asked if Progress Michigan considered that before posting the job listing, Rivard said his organization is interested in ensuring the legislator fulfills his responsibilities.
"Rep. Genetski is a public servant, and that's a very public role," Rivard said. "We want to make sure that Genetski first and foremost can do his duties, and to do that he's going to need some transportation and we figured we'd proactively help him out.
"He's going to be needing a ride to Lansing to vote for the Republicans' anti-union agenda for the next year."
A spokesperson for the Republican Party declined to comment.
Prosecutors won't release the result of Genetski's court-ordered blood draw, but did say his blood alcohol level was at least .08, the point at which one is considered legally intoxicated.
The blood draw was conducted at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing at 3 a.m.

It's time to recognize the best of the fall season.
The Express-Times All-Area team honors standout performers from schools within the newspaper's circulation area, where the paper is home-delivered.
Those schools include: Bangor, Belvidere, Bethlehem Catholic, Delaware Valley, Easton, Freedom, Hackettstown, Liberty, Moravian Academy, Nazareth, North Hunterdon, North Warren, Northampton, Notre Dame of Green Pond, Palisades, Pen Argyl, Phillipsburg, Pius X, Saucon Valley, Voorhees, Warren Hills, Warren Tech and Wilson.
Today, The Express-Times recognizes outstanding performers in girls tennis.
Kara Chyung, Sophomore, Moravian Academy: The Player of the Year won the District 11 Class AA singles title and compiled a 21-4 singles record. A first-team Colonial League selection, Chyung matured as the season progressed and became a stronger, steadier player. She helped lead Moravian Academy to the PIAA Class AA state team final.
Jess Wain, Senior, Bangor: Wain built an impressive 22-2 singles record playing mostly No. 2 singles for the Slaters and filled in at No. 1 singles when Ashley Jones was out of the lineup. Wain combined with Jones to reach the District 11 Class AAA doubles championship match. Wain was undefeated in Colonial League action and earned all-league first team honors for the second straight year.
Ashley Jones, Senior, Bangor: A, Colonial League first-team all star, Jones earned a courage award from the United States Tennis Association for coming back from multiple concussions during her high school career and playing after missing several matches with post-concussion related headaches. Jones was a District 11 Class AAA doubles finalist with Wain and the duo led Bangor to its first league title since 2005.
Darby McCall, Senior, Northampton: McCall played No. 1 singles and was 14-2 during the regular season. She garnered Lehigh Valley Conference first-team honors. McCall and her sisters, Madison and Avery, manned the three singles slots for the Konkrete Kids and led the team to a 16-2 overall record and 10-1 LVC mark. Francesca Varela-Seri, Freshman, Phillipsburg: The lone freshman on the All-Area first team, Varela-Seri showed incredible growth as the season progressed. She produced a 14-4 record and led Phillipsburg to the Skyland Conference Valley Division title. The Stateliners improved to 15-3 after going 7-10 a year ago.
Sunny Jakubas, Junior, Voorhees: Jakubas played No. 1 singles for the Vikings, who went 12-4 and won eight of their final nine matches, just as Jakubas did. Jakubas moves up after earning All-Area second-team honors as a sophomore.
Flannery Johnston, Senior, Freedom: Johnston paced the Patriots with a 15-3 record playing at No. 1 singles. The Lehigh Valley Conference first-team all star reached the District 11 Class AAA semifinals before falling to top-seeded Jenna Peng of Parkland.

D.J. Sand (Caltech), A.M. Ghez (UCLA)
Over the past six years, Ghez et al. (1998, 2000) have conducted a proper motion study of the galactic center using the Keck telescope in the K bandpass in order to ascertain the existence, position and mass of the central supermassive black hole. Using this data set, a systematic search for both short and long term variables within about 4 arcseconds of the galactic center was undertaken. Sample sources had to appear in all twenty observed epochs and in over fifty percent of the contributing shift-and-add frames. Employing a reduced chi-squared test for variability, twelve of the fifty sources were found to be variable. Of these, IRS 16SW (P= 9.72 days) and S2-7 (P=33.63 days) exhibited periodicity. Several possible explanations for the source of this periodicity are explored. Some variability in general is expected due to the possible location of many of the sources on the asymptotic giant branch along with several others that may be luminous blue variables. In comparison with previous variability studies that have searched to 13 K mag, we were able to study sources down to a K magnitude of 15 and so have been able to check for variability in several of the high-velocity sources within 1 arcsecond of the galactic center. As the proper motion survey continues and more epochs are obtained, the sample size should increase and the variability detection statistics improve. A census and characterization of the variable sources at the galactic center will contribute to a better understanding of the stellar population and evolution of the region.

fo sho!
I've owned at least 1 Daytona in some form or other since 1994, and they never fail to put a smile on my face or impress me. I used one as a daily wearer for 5 years, it was dead on accurate (maybe the most accurate watch I ever owned), banged the hell out of it, and sold it for nearly twice what I paid for it when they were nearly impossible to get brand new. Kept some of the money and used the rest to buy another one at list price.
And on the topic of Daytonas... here's Nautilus and Daytona, taking a hot shower together, kinda scratching up against one another. How hot is that! Better than some late-night Cinemax movies, fo sho.
I love my other pieces with crazy passion - but I haven't traded out my Daytona to fund the acquisition of any other piece, and it gets worn at least as much as the others. Actually, now that my wife wears it exclusively, it gets worn all the friggin time!
As for Ms Agdal, well. Here is the Hardee's / Carl's Jr commercial that aired during Superbowl weekend earlier this year. Stopped many a conversation:
Warning: Nina Agdal in a bikini! (Click to show)
Stay strong and stay the course. There must be a good reason why you made this choice.
If you really wanted this one instead you would have made a different decision.
No worries. Glad you guys had fun. I'll have to wait until there's a meeting of the SF Bros a bit further north like NYC.
Also, of a country that rhymes with "eh", likely due to its proximity to those wacky Canadians. Although I can't quite recall its name at the moment, happy freedom-from-your-imperial-overlords day to its citizens!
Absolutely perfect way to honor the 4th of July. Your Pepsi GMT is looking great!
As we must continually seek to broaden our horizons regarding these topics, may I submit this picture of the lovely Ms Nina Agdal, also looking very patriotic.
Absolutely approve of that ^^^ patriotic display.
Went to Coney Island today and spent way too much time in the sand. So the 5711 had to take a bath.
Very cool photo of the 5711 getting a bath!
+1 on Nina Agdal!!! Funny, you have a thing for blondes and for the first time you are dating a brunette. I always had a thing for and dated brunettes and figured I'd marry one, but ended up marrying a dirty blonde!
The GMT is a great watch. But if you truly desire to own an AP, hold off and get the watch you really want. Substitutes may work as a temporary distraction, but for me they would never satisfy my true wishes. Good luck with whatever you decide.

New Delhi: A solid 92 off 110 by veteran batsman Wasim Jaffer and a powerpacked 72 off 41 by Abhishek Nayar helped Mumbai beat Delhi by 140 runs here on Saturday to book their place in the final of the Vijay Hazare limited-overs competition.
Electing to bat first, openers Jaffer and Ajinkya Rahane (42 off 59) gave Mumbai a solid foundation by sharing a 72-run stand. Sushant Marathe (16 off 24), Anup Revandkar (22 off 33) and Shoaib Shaikh (20 off 25), who replaced Asia Cup-bound Rohit Sharma in the side, chipped in with useful knocks. Thereafter it was Nayar, along with skipper Ajit Agarkar (18 off 9), who propelled the visitors to a towering 295.
While Jaffer, after negotiating a slightly tough morning conditions at the Feroz Shah Kotla, played some delightful strokes, Nayar was more adventurous - trying a variety of strokes ranging from scoops over the short fine-leg fielder to big heaves over the square-leg boundary.
Delhi paid a huge penalty by feeding too many loose deliveries to the Mumbai batsmen, who took 110 runs in the last 10 overs of their innings. The home side also missed Ashish Nehra in the death overs as the lean pacer hurt himself while bowling his seventh over. Before that, he was Delhi's most economical bowler of the day, giving away just 18 runs in 6.5 overs. Except Nehra, the other bowlers went for aplenty, with Parvinder being the most expensive, going for 76 in his 10 overs.
Delhi's mammoth chase was looking good until Unmukt Chand was caught by substitute Gaurav Jathar at backward point off Agarkar. Delhi's score was 40 at that point in the eighth over. Another four wickets followed soon after, derailing the Delhi innings completely. A 74-run sixth-wicket partnership between Jagrit Anand, who made his maiden first-class half century, and Yogesh Nagar (30 off 59) tried to resurrect the chase but the initial damage inflicted by Mumbai proved too heavy.
Dismissal of Nagar by Revandkar triggered another late-order Delhi collapse, folding up the hosts' innings for 155.
Revandkar picked up 3 for 37, while Kshemal Waingankar and Iqbal Abdulla shared two wickets each for Mumbai.
They will face Bengal, who beat Punjab by three wickets in the other semifinal, on Monday.

Some S10 features
By casper on Jul 22, 2004
Wow, three comments without actually writing something interesting!
I'm actually off for a two week vacation starting tomorrow, but perhaps I should start with a list of things that I have done for Solaris 10.
By far the biggest thing I've done are Solaris privileges; it leans somewhat on Trusted Solaris but it has some fairly unique features.
But we've also been playing "catch-up", i.e., including features missing from Solaris but commonly found elsewhere.
The list looks somewhat like this.
Solaris Privileges.
TCP wrapped rpcbind.
noexec mount option (solaris 10 also separates nosuid in nosetuid and nodevices).
getpeerucred(2) and ucred_get(3C).
pcred(1) updates (set credentials of running process)

Debugging the compiler
Basic strategies
At compile time (see also the relevant User Manual section):
- Use -v3 or -v4 to get an idea about what GHC is doing when the problem occurs.
- Add -dcore-lint the GHC command line when compiling each Haskell module. This makes GHC type-check the intermediate program after every optimisation pass, which often nails a fault.
- Add -ddump-simpl to see the optimised Core output. There are a number of other -ddump-x flags; see the user manual.
- The flag -dppr-debug makes the -ddump-x flags print much more verbose output. Use this if you are getting desperate!

Watch stocks you care about
The single, easiest way to keep track of all the stocks that matter...
Your own personalized stock watchlist!
It's a 100% FREE Motley Fool service...
Don't settle for ordinary quarterly reports.
I take a look at three companies that beat market expectations every week, since I believe that it's the biggest factor in a stock beating the market. Leaving Wall Street's pros with stunned expressions can be a good thing. It usually means that the companies have more in the tank than analysts figured. Capital appreciation typically follows.
Let's take a look at a few companies that humbled the prognosticators over the past few trading days.
We can start with Spectrum Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: SPPI ) . The nascent drugmaker posted a quarterly profit of $0.34 a share, more than three times the $0.11 a share that pros were targeting. Spectrum was helped by brisk sales of its Fusilev, a drug used to combat the side effects of chemotherapy. It was a good week for small yet profitable drug upstarts since Neurocrine Biosciences (Nasdaq: NBIX ) also earned roughly triple what Wall Street was expecting.
Garmin (Nasdaq: GRMN ) shares rocked to a new 52-week high after a blowout quarter. Analysts figured the GPS giant would earn $0.50 a share after posting net income of $0.70 a share a year earlier. It came through with a profit of $0.71 a share. Strength in fitness, aviation, and outdoor products wasn't enough to grow Garmin's revenue, which declined by 4%, but it is helping wean Garmin off its once flagship GPS gadgetry for drivers.
Finally, we have Sirius XM Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI ) . The satellite radio giant's profit of $0.02 a share may not seem like much, but that's what happens when you have 6.5 billion shares outstanding. The important takeaway here is that it was twice as much as what Wall Street watchers were projecting.
It's important to keep watching the companies that surpass expectations. Over time, it will be a lucrative experience for investors as the market rewards the overachievers. That's the kind of surprise that we look for in the Rule Breakers newsletter service. Want in? Check out a 30-day trial subscription.
Either way, come back next Monday to learn about more stocks that blew the market away.

HOPEWELL — It was hard not to notice the irony.
It was just over a decade ago, as the Hopewell Valley High football program was in the process being revived followed a seven-decade hiatus — much to the dismay of many of the township's taxpayers.
Under Dave Caldwell's guidance, the Bulldogs have slowly morphed into a respectable and tough program while the town's ambivalence toward the program has slowly waned.
So as Caldwell & Co. were the first to christen Ackerson Field — the beautiful, brand new multi-purpose facility — yesterday against Burlington Township, it was only fitting that the first playoff berth in Bulldogs' program history hung in the balance.
Despite a near-capacity crowd, the made-for-Hollywood script was not to be. Both turnovers (three interceptions) and Burlington Township's potent offense proved to be too much as the Falcons prevailed, 21-7.
Hopewell will now almost certainly have to beat Nottingham next week to secure its first playoff berth. Because Ocean and Wall tied at 29-all after three overtimes (the NJSIAA limits regular season games to three overtimes), there may be a crazy set of circumstances where the Bulldogs could get in with a loss.
"It was a lot of fun," Hopewell Valley sophomore defensive back Mike Gies, who had a pair of first-half interceptions, said. "There was a huge crowd, and it's a lot of fun to play in front of a ton of people. We played a really good team; we worked hard all week and were really pumped up to come out and play on a field like this."
Burlington Township's Jalen Ferguson picked off Austin Fellows on the third play of the game. Three plays later, quarterback Khalil Trotman raced in for a 10-yard touchdown.
Hopewell Valley had its shot at squaring up the game. With 3:23 left in the second quarter, it got the ball back on its 20-yard line. Gies pulled down a 21-yard grab on the 15 play drive that eventually reached the Burlington Township 5 before a fumbled snap killed the drive.
"That was tough," Caldwell said. "It would have been nice to go in there tied up, but the kids played tough. They played hard."
The Falcons' Mike Thomas (147 yards-from-scrimmage) scored at the 4:35 mark of the third quarter to extend the lead. Hopewell Valley responded with a 9-play, 57-yard scoring drive, culminating in a 12-yard pass from Fellows to Dylan Yuska. Mark Wenner had a big 28-yard reception on the drive.
"Yuska, he's a great athlete first of all," Gies said. "He plays hard, runs hard and makes guys miss. He's a great back to have on your team. The same thing goes for (Alec) Haase and Wenner."
Hopewell had a shot to tie the game following a Burlington Township fumble in the end zone, but that drive stalled on the Falcons' 37. Thomas pulled down an acrobatic, 11-yard touchdown for the game's final score.
"It's a big change," Caldwell said of the environment over the last decade. "I'm really just happy for all of the high school athletes, not just the football players. I think they're getting the true high school experience now. They're able to walk behind their high school and play on top-notch facilities. We have top-notch academics and a top-notch arts program here, and now we have top-notch athletic facilities. I'm happy for all of the kids."

The fans once again voted in a big way this week, with our six candidates totaling over 12,000 votes. This week's Morris County Player of the Week is…
George Scalley, RB, Dover
Scalley received 34 percent of the votes this week. The full results are as followed:
George Scalley, RB, Dover: 34%
Kyle Corry, RB, Morris Hills: 29%
Nick Patterson, RB, Morris Knolls: 19%
Matt Oplinger, TE/FS, Delbarton: 14%
Chris Heredia, QB, Butler: 3%
Uzoma Egbuchulam, RB, Mountain Lakes: 1%
Scalley had a huge game last week for Dover and was one of the main reason's why his team racked up their first win in 2012 against Kittatinny. Scalley scored on all four of Dover's touchdowns in the 28-21 victory. He ran for 269 yards on 41 carries with three rushing touchdowns and also threw a 15-yard touchdown pass. Scalley's 269 rushing yards were fourth most in the state last weekend. The senior running back has been a stud for Dover all season. He is currently the second leading rusher in Morris County with 842 yards through five weeks.
It's tough to overlook the performance that Kyle Corry and Nick Patterson put on against in each other in the Morris Hills-Morris Knolls game last Friday night. In a back-and-forth shootout that ended with Morris Hills winning 52-42, Corry rushed for 187 yards on 23 carries with three touchdowns while Patterson ran for 353 yards on 18 carries with five touchdowns. Both players also recorded an interception for their respective teams on defense.
This weekend should bring more great performances in Morris County high school football. Thank you to everyone who voted this week and be sure to look out for our week six nominees on Tuesday.
