OK, this isn't a breast-feeding problem in the same league as mastitis, thrush, plugged ducts or engorgement. But it can be annoying, embarrassing if someone else (other than your baby) notices and, for some women, downright upsetting because of the waste.
Clinically, it's called simultaneous letdown. In plain English, your baby starts to feed at one breast, and the other breast decides to get in on the action, too.
Milkies may have the solution.
Milkies, a mom-owned company that's expanding rapidly from its home base in McMinnville to Europe and beyond, sells what it calls the Milk-Saver. Moms slip it into their bra on the non-nursing side before they start breast-feeding. It's one of those "Why didn't I think of that?!" ideas.
Necessity was definitely the mother of invention in this case, said Helen Anderson, one of the Milk-Saver's creators.
"When I had my first son, when I breastfed him, I leaked all over the place," she said. She went through six to seven disposable nursing pads a day, about one large box each week.
At the same time, she was having trouble feeding him. He'd spit up a lot, and she'd run out of the milk she'd stored. Then she went back to work as a registered nurse, pulling 12-hour shifts.
Eventually, the baby ended up on formula. "I felt bad about not being able to produce enough milk." And the cost of formula -- $30 a week -- shocked her.
Ten months into motherhood, Anderson became pregnant with her second son. After he was born, she experienced the leaking again.
"I thought, this milk is too valuable," she said. "I need to find a way to save it."
But she couldn't find a product that would help her. So, in typical mom-preneur fashion, she decided to create it herself.
To market and sell the Milk-Saver, they attended lactation consultant conferences and trade shows such as the ABC Kids Expo, the primary show for children's products, where they found distributors that specialize in supplying hospitals, maternity boutiques and other businesses with lactation products. Milkies is now hooked up with distributors in nine countries -- it just added Spain and France -- and has been shipping Milk-Savers since September 2008.
"It's such a fun niche to be in because there's so many moms that have products like this that fill a need for them, and they find their way to the marketplace just like we did," Anderson said. "They're just like me ... they have little kids, they're juggling being a mom ... a lot of them still have their day jobs."
"You really get that camaraderie."
Customer feedback has been good, Anderson said: She recently heard from a mom who'd used the Milk-Saver to stash 100 ounces of breastmilk in her freezer. (Frozen breast milk stays good for up to six months.)
In Anderson's case, she was still breast-feeding her second son when she began traveling to promote the Milk-Saver, sometimes leaving home for five days at a time. "I had so much breast milk stored that my husband never had to resort to using formula for even a single feeding," she said. When her son was 10 months old, she donated more than 220 ounces of breast milk to the International Breast Milk Project.
And, Anderson added, by using the Milk-Saver, she went through far fewer disposable nursing pads -- less than one box's worth. "One of our goals when we started Milkies was to help moms be more friendly to the environment during the baby years by reducing disposable product use," she said.
Where Milkies could really make a difference is with moms like those served by WIC, a federal grant program that works to ensure proper nutrition for low-income women, infants and preschoolers. Upon the recommendation of a WIC clinic in Texas that was interested in the Milk-Saver, Anderson last week attended a WIC conference in Tennessee, where she said "the response was amazing -- they really saw the usefulness of the product for their clients."
Ginny Elliott, a Southeast Portland leader with La Leche League, hadn't heard of the Milk-Saver but said it sounded like a good idea. She said she recently suggested to a mom that she could express on one side while breast-feeding on the other -- using something like the Milk-Saver would be easier.
Anderson will appear June 23 on KATU's AM Northwest (9 a.m., Channel 2) to talk about breast-feeding, why it's important and, of course, about the Milk-Saver.

Through a Metal Detector, Darkly: How NAT traversal could set us free
There is a scene in Joseph Heller's book Catch-22 where the WWII U.S. Army Air Force camp in Italy goes through a loyalty-oath frenzy. In order to do anything -- even eat -- airmen are forced by the intelligence officer, Captain Black, to sign a new loyalty oath each time, which reminds me a lot of signing Microsoft End-User License Agreements, except Microsoft doesn't also require that we sing the National Anthem, which Captain Black did. This absurd scene ends when the mysterious Major -- -- deCoverley shows up in the mess line, refuses to sign, and says "Gimme eat," breaking forever the loyalty oath cycle of pain. Oh to be Major -- -- deCoverley today, since I am writing this in the Mineta San Jose International Airport having just lost my toothpaste and Purell to the Transportation Security Administration and almost lost the very notebook computer I am typing on.
I'm all for public safety, but according to a friend on the staff of the U.S. National Security Council, the simple armoring of airliner cockpit doors (accomplished before the end of 2001) was enough to return airline safety to pre-1967 levels of terrorist protection. Threats evolve, of course, and it is always harder to plan defense than offense, but the thought of business travelers being made to luggage-check their fragile computers, as they are being made to do now in the United Kingdom, might lead to civil unrest in Silicon Valley.
Gimme eat, indeed.
This week I promised to revisit the topic of Skype P2P and the problem of Network Address Translation (NAT) traversal, which I first covered a few weeks ago. My argument at that time was that the Skype architecture wouldn't scale well because of the required participation of "super nodes" that aren't behind NAT firewalls - nodes that are actually the computers of kindly (but usually unknowing) Skype users who have lots of bandwidth and are visible to the greater Internet. A number of very well-informed readers thought that my position was unfounded and even stupid. They saw Skype's super nodes as providing a simple introduction service after which they get out of the way and don't touch the actual bits. Funny, that's not what it says on Page 9 of Skype's own Developer Handbook. Nor is it what they say at Canada's University of Waterloo, which produces some of the best geeks on Earth and where Skype is actively discouraged because, "...our experience is that super nodes will consume lots of resources -- tens of gigabytes a day of network traffic as they relay voice and replicate the directory for others..."
I'm not saying that Skype is evil, just that it doesn't run the way people think it does. Those who think Skype super nodes perform a simple STUN service are ignoring the TURN and ICE servers running behind the scenes as well. To those readers for whom these terms are meaningless, just please understand that there are a LOT of computing resources running in background to keep Skype running smoothly, and they consume significant bandwidth as well as compromise--to some extent--the security of the networks upon which they run. Skype is innocent in this, of course, because it is all in strict accordance with the company's End-User License Agreement. But what if you are using Skype at work -- a place where most of us aren't legally qualified to commit company assets for this purpose? Good question.
But rather than worry about Skype, let's think a little more about the underlying problem all these servers are intended to solve. NAT helps us make do with IPv4 in a world that has more Internet devices than there are possible IPv4 addresses. NAT servers live in routers, wireless access points, and some modems, giving us unroutable 192.168.X.X-type addresses on our local networks. This, along with the use of dynamic IP addresses by our ISPs, not only stretches the pool of IPv4 addresses, it also makes it somewhat harder to compromise local networks -- a sort of poor man's firewall -- which is why all those STUN and ICE and TURN servers are required.
There are two ways I know of to overcome the limitations of NAT. One would be to move to IPv6 with its 128-bit addresses capable of supporting 50+ octillion unique addresses for each of the roughly 6.6 billion people alive today, compared to the measly 4.3 billion possible addresses of IPv4. If 4.3 billion addresses seems like a lot, try figuring how many addresses it would take to cover every digital device in your life. IPv6, which is supposed to become the backbone de facto by 2008, is slow in being implemented because NAT has been so useful, but more importantly because IPv6 replacement hardware will cost a lot of money if taken all the way down to desktop and mobile devices.
A better way of handling the problem of IPv4, one might argue, would be to simply solve the problem of NAT traversal - to enable all the good parts of NAT while overcoming the bad parts. Alas, in the 12 years since NAT was invented, nobody has claimed to have found a way to overcome NAT without simultaneously compromising firewalls or violating Internet RFC (request for comments) rules... that is until now.
A pair of ex-Intel engineers claims to have solved the NAT traversal problem. I don't know if they have solved it for sure, and until they've completed all those pesky patent applications we won't have any technical details. But, from what I understand, the still-in-stealth-mode duo, whom I have known for some time, are quite confident of their technology. Assuming that it does work and that it doesn't cost too much to implement in software or hardware, what would an elegant NAT traversal scheme mean for the rest of us?
For Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephone users it would mean Skype without the technical complication or Vonage without the monthly bill. Imagine buying a WiFi phone, for example, and having it Just Plain Work without ANY back-end telephony system whatsoever. Further imagine a network of a few million such phones with interconnection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) allowing you to call a PSTN phone by bridging through the phone of another user in your target city. But VoIP is the least of it. With the transparency of an IPv6 network but without the overhead of IPv6, every refrigerator and air conditioner could be addressed by the electric company. Every nannycam could be viewed from every mobile phone with the correct cryptographic authorization. The possibilities go on and on.
I, for one, hope it works. Gimme eat.

One of the issues at the center of discussions over the future of Internet governance is how multilateral and multistakeholder institutions with an interest in working on Internet-related issues can coexist without duplication or conflict and without threatening to undermine the Internet and its promise. In an ideal world, each would learn from the other, and the activity of one would only add value to the other.
This issue surfaced again last week in Geneva, Switzerland as the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) hosted the World Summit on Information Society (WSIS) + 10 High Level Event (HLE) along with co-organizers UNESCO, UNCTAD, and UNDP. Representatives from around the world gathered to approve an assessment of stakeholders to gauge how well the world has done to fulfill that mission and what our vision is for the future pursuit of those aims. The event reviewed the progress made in the implementation of the outcomes of WSIS, a two-stage summit in 2003 and 2005 that brought the world together to work towards a "people-centered" information society with ICT access for all and an environment focused on ensuring communications as a platform for people to use to lead healthier, more productive, and better informed lives.
In preparation for the gathering, stakeholders from every sector of society came together to prepare the documents for consideration at the WSIS+10 High Level event through six multistakeholder preparatory meetings held over the last year. The people that came together to do that work deserve our appreciation and their hard work produced substantive outcomes.
After some last minute negotiation that set aside some limited portions of the preparatory documents that did not achieve consensus support of all stakeholders, the meeting unanimously endorsed a set of outcome documents that represented the consensus view of all stakeholders. The documents broadly address a "WSIS + 10 Vision for WSIS Beyond 2010" and provide a "WSIS + 10 Statement of Implementation of the WSIS."
These outcome documents were satisfactory for the United States as the documents, among other things, recognize the usefulness of the multistakeholder approach in building the Information Society during the WSIS review process and the potential of ICTs as a tool for development, gender equality, and the exercise of human rights. These documents also demonstrate the continued relevance of the existing WSIS Action Lines that were constructed a decade ago. The original action lines were broad enough to capture emerging issues and our work remains unfinished. We need not create new ones. The success of the process and the deference that was demonstrated to the underlying multistakeholder work show promise for progress toward a productive coexistence between the multistakeholder and multilateral models.

JACKSON, MI -- The Brooklyn Columbia Central softball team had a solid outing Saturday afternoon, finishing 2-0 at the Napoleon Invitational.
The Golden Eagles started the day by downing Jackson Lumen Christi 6-1 in the opening round and edging Napoleon in the championship with a 7-6 victory.
Columbia Central was led by its talented pitching duo of Payge Reed and Sophie Miller, who split pitching duties in the two games.
Miller handled Lumen Christi by striking out eight batters while Reed struck out six Napoleon batters. Both were solid at the plate as Miller finished with five hits and three RBIs while Reed came up with five hits, including three triples with two RBIs.

It's been an uphill climb, and they were dealt another blow on Friday when a Bloomberg piece detailed academic research showing how fees influenced the assignment of higher ratings. Municipal issuers got the harshest ratings because they paid the lowest fees, according to the article.

The most flexible line item in a household budget is the grocery expense, and it's usually the first expense to be cut when money is tight. Even if you're savvy about money-saving shopping tricks, do you realize that enlisting a friend's help could save you even more? Shopping with a friend allows you to take advantage of opportunities you couldn't have alone, and the whole experience is more enjoyable. Here are just a few ways you and your shopping buddy can save at the supermarket.
Keep Each Other on Track
When you go shopping, it's easy to get distracted and buy things that aren't on your list. If you shop with a friend, you can police each other's purchases and keep focused on the task at hand. Sure, the Pop-Tarts might be on sale, but you can buy a giant container of oatmeal for less; a good friend will remind you so and steer you toward smart purchases. Of course, this only works if your friend is as frugal-minded as you are. When choosing a shopping buddy, be sure to avoid your more spontaneous and spendthrift companions.
Buy in Bulk
Most items are less expensive per unit when purchased in bulk. Whether you're buying pinto beans from a bin or using a warehouse membership to buy family packs of pasta sauce, you will usually get the best deal when you buy in bulk. Your overall bill will be higher, but at least until your pantry will be well stocked. Since you probably don't need five boxes of cereal, however, team up with a friend and split your bulk purchases. You can separate the groceries when you get home by dividing meat into separate bags or dividing multipacks of canned goods.
Clip Coupons Together
This strategy works especially well if your friend has different eating or lifestyle habits than you do because competition is minimized. Every time you clip coupons, you're sure to find great deals that you have no use for. If you can't use the coupons for diapers and formula, trade them with a new mom in exchange for the wine and spirit coupons. Clipping coupons with friends also saves time and reduces the blisters on your fingers. You could meet once a week with a whole group of friends for a coupon-clipping party.
Take Advantage of $5 Off Any Purchase of $50 or More
An incentive to persuade you to buy more than you planned, this type of ad is prevalent in stores. In order to get the most savings from a deal like this, shop with a friend and split the bill. The savings will lower the cost for you both, and neither of you has to buy more than you planned in order to qualify for the discount.
Share the Gas Bill
With fuel costs rising, carpooling is a more attractive option than ever. Take turns driving when you and your shopping buddy visit the grocery store, and agree to pay half of the gas bill. Not only is it easier on the pocketbook to travel in one car, it's better for the environment. Driving to the store together also means an extra set of hands to help load and unload groceries from the car.
In addition to saving money, shopping for groceries with a friend can be a great way to spend quality time together. Shopping doesn't have to be a boring chore; it can be a fun and frugal adventure. You can catch up on all the gossip while you peruse the aisles, and you can use some of the money you save to treat yourselves manicures afterward. Of course, for some harried wives and mothers, just being able to get out of the house is a reward all on its own.

Police have arrested a man suspected in an armed robbery that took place in Central City last week, records show.
Daron Lundy was booked Tuesday (March 25) on charges of armed robbery with a firearm after police said he and two other people held a man up at gunpoint on March 17 about 11:45 pm.
Police allege that Lundy, 42, threatened the man with his gun while a female accomplice robbed him.
According to records filed in Orleans Parish Criminal District Court, the victim told police that he was robbed while standing in an alleyway in the 2900 block of First Street, near South Claiborne Avenue.
The victim told police that a man matching Lundy's description, accompanied by a heavyset woman, approached him and pushed him against the wall of an abandoned house and reached for what appeared to be the handle of a gun inside his jacket, records show.
"If you move or run, I will shoot you," the gunman reportedly said to the man.
Meanwhile, the woman began rummaging through the victim's pockets while a third man stood nearby and acted as the lookout, a detective wrote in an application for an arrest warrant.
The woman grabbed the victim's wallet, cellphone and Zippo lighter, he later told police. She stole four $100 bills from his wallet before tossing it, the lighter and the man's cellphone on the ground, he said. Then, all three assailants fled the scene, the detective wrote.
The victim then called the police to report the robbery.
A few days later, while at a street festival, the victim ran into the detective who had handled the initial robbery complaint and told him that he had learned through talking to people in the neighborhood that a man named "Count" or "The Count" was likely the gunman who had robbed him.
Sixth District detectives eventually settled on Lundy as a possible suspect, noting that "Count" was a possible street alias used by the man.
After being a shown a six-person photographic lineup, the victim "immediately and unambiguously" pointed to a photo of Lundy and claimed he was the gunman who pushed him up against the wall, the detective wrote.
Police picked up Lundy in the same location where the robbery occurred about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Lundy's accomplices have not yet been arrested. The woman suspect is described as weighing about 250 pounds and is approximately 5-foot-2 inches tall, the victim said. She was last seen wearing a light jacket and tan pants with a stripe.
The man who police say acted as a lookout is described as being approximately 5-foot-6 inches tall and weighing about 140 to 150 pounds. The man was seen wearing dark clothing and may go by the name Carlos, police said.
Lundy's criminal history in Orleans Parish dates back to 1993, records show, and includes a slew of drug-related offenses.
Lundy is being held in lieu of a $75,000 bond, records show.

The Shootaround Weekly Schedule
Monday: A look at the Big East
Tuesday: Prepping the week ahead
Wednesday: Recapping the national scene
Thursday: Notes from the Big East conference call
Friday: Checking in on the locals
1. With Syracuse losing, three undefeateds remain. Is it possible that one makes it through unscathed?
Ah, the annual dance of the undefeateds. Happens every year since Bob Knight's Indiana team cut down the nets in 1976 with a big, fat doughnut in the loss column. Heading into tonight's games, there are three undefeated teams left: No. 1 Ohio State (18-0), No. 2 Kansas (18-0) and No. 6 San Diego State (19-0). Forget matching perfection, we're just curious to see if any of the three can finish the regular season undefeated. (The last team to do that was Saint Joseph's in 2004 at 27-0.) Can someone match the Hawks as an undefeated before conference tournaments begin? It's highly unlikely. We've seen so many teams — Illinois in 2005 comes to mind — make a run, but get toppled by the end of the regular season.
And 1: So who drops last?
Ohio State
Next Game: Wednesday vs. Iowa (7-10, 0-5 Big Ten)
Best chance for loss: Saturday at Illinois
Why?: Flash back to 2005, as Ohio State's Matt Sylvester drilled a 3-pointer at the end of regulation in the final regular season game to hang the first loss on the Illini and end their regular season at 29-1. Don't you think Illinois would love to return the favor?
If not then, when?: Sometime during OSU's stretch of games between Feb. 6 and Feb. 22. Currently all five opponents (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Purdue and Illinois) are ranked. And three of those games are on the road.
Next Game: Saturday vs. No. 10 Texas (14-3, 2-0 Big 12)
Best chance for loss: Saturday vs. Texas
Why?: Just like Syracuse, Kansas has been playing with fire over the past four games. Had to beat Michigan in overtime, escaped at Iowa State by five and against Nebraska by three. Jayhawks will have to step it up against Texas.
If not then, when?: at Kansas State on Feb. 14.
San Diego State
Next Game: Wednesday vs. Air Force (10-6, 1-2 Mountain West)
Best chance for loss: Jan. 26 at No. 9 BYU
Why?: Have you not seen Cougars guard Jimmer Fredette? The Jimmer would love nothing more than to hang the first L around the Aztecs neck with everyone watching.
In not then, when?: Perhaps Feb. 12 at UNLV, but we're not so sure. Look it up: Since 1979 (when the Big East was established), all three teams that finished the regular season undefeated have come from non-power conferences. Indiana State in 1978-79 (29-0) out of the Missouri Valley; UNLV in 1990-91 (30-0) out of the Big West; and St. Joe's (27-0) from the A-10.

ENFIELD - Students at St. Martha School have donated more than $2,400 to needy orphans in Haiti as part of a Lenten project.
The students at the Catholic school, a kindergarten through eighth-grade school which often reaches out to the needy, donated the funds to the orphanage sponsored by Movin' with the Spirit, a Connecticut-based Catholic charity.
This latest project is an extension of others St. Martha students have participated in in the past to benefit needy people in Haiti. Students have also helped to raise funds to build six houses in the impoverished country.
"About a year ago, I ran into one of our graduates, and she was telling me about working at an orphanage in Haiti," said teacher Jean Bodman, who helped coordinate this project with Movin' with the Spirit. "Her mother came and spoke to the kids about it."
The school did some research and eventually connected with Movin' with the Spirit, led by Sean Forrest.
"He started out building an orphanage for 15 children, and expanded it to include a school," Bodman said. "Our donation was to help the school."
Students came up with some creative ways to raise funds for the cause.
"First we had dress-down days, and if you brought in a dollar every day, you could dress down," said eighth-grader Bridget Logan. "Or, you could buy hemp bracelets made by someone in Haiti for $10. They came in a little bag and inside was a picture of a child from Haiti, a little bit about them and how they needed help."
Bodman said collecting money was the easiest way to give to the children.
"We know it's going to the school and orphanage," she said. "It's too difficult to send books or other items, so we trust the organization to get what they need (with our donations)." Principal Ann Sarpu said the school has always been committed to charitable giving.
"As a Catholic school, when we think about Lent, we think about fasting, prayer or charitable giving," Sarpu said. "At the beginning of Lent, in speaking to my teachers and thinking about people who are less fortunate, we knew we have had a commitment to Haiti for the past few years."
After the students saw the presentation of what has been accomplished with their donations to Haiti in previous years, they knew what they wanted to do.
"They had a visual of what it's like in Haiti, a visual of the children there," she said. "It's obvious how fortunate they are, comparatively speaking."
It certainly hit home for eighth-grade student Thomas Angell.
"Seeing the pictures and seeing how poor people in Haiti were, it kind of shocked us," Angell said. "It was great to see who we were helping, how we were helping and what they needed help with."
Sarpu said it's all part of the philosophy of the school.
"The students are always extremely generous no matter what cause we're thinking about," she said. "At Christmas they brought in gifts and wrapping paper and we wrapped hundreds of gifts to give to (social service) agencies in Enfield and surrounding towns. It's amazing to see the generosity of the children and the families here at St. Martha."

I'm the author of the book "The Gambit Files: Tactical Themes to Sharpen Your Play", a book that examines the traps and keys in 15 gambits, by way of 237 puzzles from the openings, rather than memorization of lines of play. It's available through MongoosePress.com.
My homepage features 10,000 chess puzzles, indexed by grandmasters, past and present and highlights a dozen or more of the traps 'n zaps that you find in each of 150 different ECO's. I hope you take some time to look around. I've taught chess in middle school for ten years.

Walkers vision extends far beyond the Explosion
Darrell Walker has lived in Marysville for 23 years. He starred on the M-P High School team before attending Everett Community College for two years.
Playing for his father Larry Walker at ECC gave Darryl the chance to jump to a Division I program after two junior college basketball seasons. This past year Walker, a pillar in the Marysville basketball community, took on the challenge of leading the Everett Explosion in their inaugural season in the IBL.
It was a busy year, said Walker, Besides playing ball, I was teaching full time and assisting my dad in coaching. Plus my wife and I just had a little girl of our own.
Events on the court were easy for Walker compared to the stress of daily living. Walkers wife Abby developed a melanoma and needed treatment during Darrells season.
Shes a trooper, continued Walker. It was a lot to deal with all at once but shes doing well now.
Abbys recovery helped Darrell relax a bit. It also helped having such good friends on the Explosion. On court, Walker enjoyed playing with old comrade and fellow teacher Corby Shue amongst other members of the team.
The Explosion was a great group of guys. Everybody knew their roles, which got established early on, Walker stated, We really got along well together on the court. If the situation is right, Id love to play for them again next year.
Walker reaped plenty of the benefits of being a local celebrity by playing for the Explosion. He did not however, always feel comfortable being viewed as such.
My kids at the middle school already look up to me as a teacher. When I started playing on the team it was almost a celebrity status. I dont want to think of myself along those lines by any means. Kids started recognizing me more as a basketball player than a teacher. I was just happy for an opportunity to play basketball because I love basketball.
Walkers commitment to his community goes far beyond the court. He is not satisfied with simply being viewed as a player. Walker eventually would like to enhance his stature as a role model.
Id really like to start my own basketball camps. In the long run, the best reason to play for the Explosion is to reach out into the community. Im looking forward to doing more than being an athlete. Im already working with the Boys and Girls Club, doing three-on-three stuff in the area.
Walker also owns a chain of coffee shops in Marysville, which he hopes to expand upon. His wife Abby does much of the work behind the coffee stands, but Walkers name gets plenty of attention.
People come to the stands and ask about the Explosion. A lot of people came to the games or followed through the Internet or in the papers.
The stands benefited from the exposure, but Walker again feels the need to branch out beyond.
Ultimately Im a Christian guy, said Walker, With the camps, Id like to gear them to be a positive influence. I want to share a sense of balance with these kids who dont necessarily see it on a day-to-day basis. I want to show them that life is more than the sports they play or the music they listen to. I want to help them see that life can be about helping others as well as making the right decisions for themselves.
As a middle school teacher, Walker watches kids just beginning to make the decisions of character that will affect their lives.
You get them in high school and it might be a little too late. Theyve made up their minds as to who they want to be. Being a health and fitness teacher, I strive to get them to consider being more active, being healthy and making choices.
Walker himself dealt with some health issues as the Explosion season wore on.
Toward the end I was playing with some injuries, but Ill be healthy before the start of next season. I feel like I could be in better shape at the start of the season.
Walker sees good things for the future of the franchise. After going through the bumps and potholes that any minor league expansion team must face the club is in better shape for next season.
Walker also sees big things in the future for himself. His commitment to making a difference locally supersedes his on-court persona. Walker will continue to impact the lives of kids in Marysville long after his days on the court have ended.

BOSTON - The prospects for casinos in Massachusetts have dramatically improved with the resignation of House Speaker Salvatore F. DiMasi, who was a major roadblock for casinos, gambling supporters said Monday.
DiMasi, a Boston Democrat, last year orchestrated the state House of Representatives in an 108-46 vote against Gov. Deval L. Patrick's bill for three casino resorts. DiMasi, who is hampered by ethical questions, announced Sunday that he is planning to resign Tuesday.
Rep. Robert A. DeLeo, D-Winthrop, who has lined up enough votes to be elected the new speaker, has advocated in the past for expanded gambling. In 2006, DeLeo voted in favor of allowing up to 2,000 slot machines at each of the state's four dog and horse tracks. DeLeo, represents part of Revere, which is home to a greyhound track and the Suffolk Downs horse track.
Leon H. Dragone, of Longmeadow, said the changing of the guard on Beacon Hill definitely improves the chances for approval of casinos.
"We see this as a real game changer," Dragone said. "It radically changes the dynamics of the issue."
Dragone has signed an exclusive agreement with the Mohegan Sun to develop a casino resort on 150 acres in Palmer across from Exit 8 of the Massachusetts Turnpike. Dragone and other investors own the property.
Patrick told reporters he doesn't know if the change in speakers will be enough to assure passage of a casino bill but he considering filing new casino legislation.
"We're talking about it," Patrick said. "We've been talking about it with the speaker and with the Senate president, whether it makes sense, whether it's appropriate. We'll do that with the speaker's successor."
|Mass. Speaker DiMasi resigns
As speaker, DeLeo would have statewide responsibilities and would need to step back and take a look at the statewide impact of casinos, Bosley said.
Bosley added that he isn't surprised that casino interests are crowing over DiMasi's resignation. "There is a lot of money to be made," said Bosley, who is supporting DeLeo as next speaker. "They are coming to pick our pockets. It never goes away."
Casino supporters in Massachusetts would need to reduce their expectations for revenues from gaming, because of the poor economy, said Dennis M. Murphy, of East Longmeadow, a lobbyist whose company represented Donald Trump in last year's casino debate.
Slot machine revenues have been falling at the two Connecticut casinos. In October, Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard, Conn., laid off about 700 workers, while last month Mohegan Sun, in Uncasville, Conn., announced pay cuts for all 9,800 employees in hopes of averting layoffs. In Atlantic City, N.J., the 11 casinos there reported the second straight year of declining revenues and job losses now totalling 3,300.
In the contest to succeed DiMasi, DeLeo has released a list of 93 House Democrats who are pledged to vote for him as the next speaker, meaning that his rival, Rep. John H. Rogers, D-Norwood, has at most the support of 51 Democrats. Even if the 16 House Republicans voted for Rogers, it wouldn't be enough.
Rep. Thomas M. Petrolati, D-Ludlow, the speaker pro tempore, has been working for months to win commitments for DeLeo. Petrolati said it would be premature to speculate on what leadership position he might assume under DeLeo.
Petrolati did say that casinos will get another hard look on Beacon Hill this year, especially with state government facing shortfalls in projected tax collections and huge budget deficits during a global economic crisis.
"Under these economic circumstances, we're going to have to look at any new revenue source," Petrolati said.
Rep. Brian P. Wallace, D-Boston, who has filed legislation to legalize three casino resorts, including one in Hampden County, said that there's "no question" that DiMasi's resignation could make it easier to approve casinos. "People just see a chance," Wallace said. "They see some daylight."
A casino opponent, Rep. John W. Scibak, D-South Hadley, said casino supporters face a difficult hurdle in overcoming the lopsided vote in the House last year against casinos.
"I've not seen or heard anything to change my mind," Scibak said.

Security Service Taking Over Ailing Norbel
The $5.5 billion Security Service Federal Credit Union of Austin, Texas said Wednesday it expects to take over the ailing $120 million Norbel CU of Fort Collins, Colo. by July 29.
The transaction will expand Security Service's Colorado footprint to include five branches in the Loveland/Greeley area and stretching to the Wyoming line. The deal has faint echoes of another 2007 takeover of $230 million Norlarco CU also of Fort Collins.
Norbel's serious loan problems prompted a PCA action against it this spring and a suggestion it start looking for a merger partner, according to a source familiar with the situation. NCUA's financial performance reports show Norbel's loan delinquencies at 7.25% as of March and an ROA of negative 31.56%. Norbel lost $9 million in the first quarter.
Neither the NCUA nor the Colorado Division of Finance has issued an official statement on the planned liquidation of Norbel and subsequent purchase and assumption by Security Service.
A statement from Security Service said it received a request from the Norbel management and the NCUA about a potential merger. It entered into a management agreement with Norbel on June 18.
"We have been following the normal procedure, and we look forward to consolidating Norbel into our organization," said John Worthington, senior vice president of Security Service.

HOLYOKE -- The city is trying to make it easy for families to sign up children for youth sports by providing a guide with answers to frequently asked questions.
"There are many opportunities out there to keep kids active and healthy," the city website said.
The guide answers questions like at what age can a child begin playing sports (usually 5 or 6), when does a child sign up for a sport (usually the season before, such as fall for winter sports), the website said.
"The exception are fall sports. They hold their sign ups in the spring, as summer time does not work for many people," the website said.
Schools often send home information with students about sports sign-ups. Other ways to get information are to visit the calendar section on the city website, holyoke.org, or go to the city Parks and Recreation Department page or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
"If you are interested in involving your child in a sport activity, under the Parks and Recreation Department web page there is a listing of sport activities for the entire year," the website said.

The efficient design and operation of intersections, particularly signalized intersections, depends on the availability of detailed traffic flow data. Information on the turning ratio and lane occupation is, however, commonly scarce or unreliable. Combining Floating Car Data (FCD) with other data sources offers the opportunity to fill this gap. As opposed to existing data fusion concepts, detector data is not directly used to deliver information on the traffic flow on a specific link, but it is evaluated in connection with the FCD to estimate the penetration rate of the traffic with probe vehicles. This information is combined with historic data and information contained in network connections. The data fusion itself is achieved by using a Kalman Filter (KF). By using FCD, the output of the data fusion process is up to date and can be used to take incidents and other fluctuations of traffic volumes into account. The elasticity of the filter to different input reliabilities and flow variations is shown. The concept works well and promises to be a useful tool for cities with sufficient FCD available. The performance depends in the first place on a good calibration, which can be achieved by extensive tests based on simulations and based on manual counts as part of an implementation.

Skip to comments.Congress May Bring Back The Draft
Posted on 08/01/2010 7:48:14 PM PDT by citizenredstater9271
On July 15, 2010, Democrat Charles Rangle introduced a piece of legislation into Congress that would basically reinstate the draft (compulsory military service). H.R. 5741 will give the President of the United States the power to require all American citizens between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform either military service or civilian service in the interests of "national defense and homeland security." It would also give him the power to require citizens to join the military during wartime to meet the manpower needs of the military.
In February 2009, President Barack Obama asked Congress to send him a bipartisan bill in favor of "national service." Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel outline a plan similar to H.R. 5741 in his book The Plan.
Under this new legislation, nearly every American will be forced into two years of military or security service. Even conscientious objectors will be unable to avoid this new draft. Instead, they would have to choose noncombatant or civilian service, which will be defined by the President.
(Excerpt) Read more at partisan-news.blogspot.com ...
If Obama does, the hippies will scream for his impeachment.
Then draft away!
No, Rangel will introduce a bill which if passed would bring back the draft. He's done this a number of times in past sessions, and the bill goes nowhere. This one will do the same.
LOL the same hippies and limousine liberals who put him in office.
man this just keeps getting better and better, I have never seen a polical party so focused on losing power.
Not going to happen. ...unless the Dems want to lose every election between between now and doomsday.
draft who
like to see all the hip hops under obama
Idiots didn't realize that THEY and theirs would end up getting sent to the front.
Even the Democrats aren't that stupid. If they do institute a draft, it'll be for Mr. Obama's Civilian National Security Force.
A precursor to the start of Obambie's civilian storm troopers,
kind of like The Red Guard?
Rangel has been trying to bring back the draft for a long time. Here's his try in 2003.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Rep. Charles Rangel introduced a bill in Congress Tuesday to reinstate the military draft, saying fighting forces should more closely reflect the economic makeup of the nation.
If I ever Lock & Load again, it will NOT be under the command of that Commie Tripe.
Some of us are quiet peaceful citizens who are armed and know how to use them. From my cold dead hands, FUBO.
They would never make it to the front ... bullet in the back for immediate discharge
I am still wondering what they would actually do with 8 million people (4 million births per year x 2 years required "service").
I'll bet the moron hasn't thought that through yet.
RANGEL has been talking about a DRAFT for YEARS... "Them RICH WHITE BOYS going FIRST"
If I ever Lock & Load again, it will NOT be under the command of that Commie Tripe.
Same here.
Agreed. Rangel has been pulling this same stunt almost since 2003 or so. What was really shameful was that during Bush's presidency, Rangel kept insisting with a straight face that only the poor & minorities were dying on the front lines in Iraq because the U.S. economy was so bad they had no choice but to join the military.
I seriously think that the Democratic symbol should now be a 99-cent Store Economy Tool Set. What a bunch of Useless Tools...
Of course, none of this matters, as "the first black president wants to reinstate slavery." (This is not my quote, I just heard it somewhere and am repeating it).
I would also imagine that our military isn't interested in reinstating the draft, as the only people they would get would be the same ones they got during the last draft, that is, all the people who were not rich enough, well-connected enough, or daft enough to escape the draft. Sad to say, these are not the kinds of people that we want to be motivating to do something they don't want to do.
Considering all the bums... and all the poverty pimps that collect bums for power... not a terrible idea.
Rangel brings this up about every 2 years.
and then he votes against it.
It isn't supposed to be a sensible law, just meant to create as much division among the American people as they can raise. Democrats are criminal scum. They manipulate to remain in power.
H.R. 5741: Universal National Service Act
Sponsor: Rep. Charles Rangel [D-NY15] (no cosponsors)
Text on Thomas Register: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:h5741:
Congress lost me a long time ago.
Even the Democrats arent that stupid. If they do institute a draft, itll be for Mr. Obamas Civilian National Security Force.
Civilian security service, as defined by the President. Gee, would they get to wear brown shirts and knee-high leather boots too? NFW hussein, NFW.
I support Obama 100%. It would obviously jack up his ratings in short course, this whole country is just anxious to be armed and looking for a battle.
I am 53 but if I get some of that Just for men hair color I can pass for 42.
I want to be a tanker.
To require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed services or in civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, to authorize the induction of persons in the uniformed services during wartime to meet end-strength requirements of the uniformed services, and for other purposes.
Mr. RANGEL introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services
To require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed services or in civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, to authorize the induction of persons in the uniformed services during wartime to meet end-strength requirements of the uniformed services, and for other purposes.
Go for it, I threw out my draft card 47 years ago!
Rangle has no clue. While it serves some lofty libtard goal of conscripting the children of the wealthy and not so well off equally, he wants to eliminate the idea that conscripts do not perform as well as volunteers.
Its great that conservatives and progressive hippie pinkos are getting united against the president.
No they won't. This election is going to kick their butts hard enough already. Rangle keeps introducing this bill to prove some point that nobody cares about, but it'll never pass. Not unless they actually find a majority in Congress that want to retire.
Charlie the Crook has been trying to do this for years. I don't see it going anywhere this time either. Especially when the boy already has a ton of ethics problems he is going to have to deal with.
congress better bring back sanity.with reid claiming to have saved ford motors , jackson lee praising south vietnam and pelosi claiming 500 billion jobs would have been lost if not for the bail out...we got a big problem with BOZO's in DC
(a) In General- The President shall prescribe such regulations as are necessary to carry out this title.
It is supposed to be mandatory for ppl between 18-42. Gov. taking over your life. Welcome to socailism. Too bad the kid who posted this doesnt get that.
More BHO fascism for you.
This bill is not a request born out of need, or even want, on the side of the military. It's born out of jealousy and malice so Rangel can force "the rich kids" into the military.
Commie blog or not, this wouldn't surprise me one bit. Dear leader's going to need his own goon squads soon if he keeps up his antics.
Hell my previous 10 yrs with Uncle Sugar taught me that Supply Sergeant is the slot to get.
Recreation Facility Management is also a good one for those of us getting a bit 'long in the tooth'...;)
As always...RLTW!
Yeah that's one version of the verbiage he has used in the past. Another is along the lines that if rich white men have to send their kids off to war along with the people of color who can't get into college they'll be less likely to start wars or some such drivel....
Exactly right.. and I'm sure they have designs of putting our men and women under Interpol command as they try to enforce Fascist multiculturalism and flat earth environmentalism. The truth is the real leftist yearns for and would love to join a brown shirt squad.
Exactly. The military doesn't even have the machinations in place to deal with an army of conscripts. The entire process of how the military trains, motivates and leads soldiers would have to be retooled from the top down to deal effectively with legions of draftees that don't want to be there.
And would the military even want conscripts? Short answer, they don't. Even with an all-volunteer service, the military is today turning away prospective recruits. The ranks are full.
I once dated a girl that served the airforce. Her entire responsibility...YOU WILL NEVER GUESS.
She designed programs and invitations to retiring officer parties. Oh, and also weddings.
And Rangel is going to find himself an "Army of One" trying to get this through congress.
It's never going to happen.
That's a good take on it. A lot of common sense.
Welcome to Free Republic.
The only way this is going to work out is if it is a scam to get more people on the dole. As in acorn type community organizing disguised as a civilian military. Just another way to funnel more money to the underground marxist organizations.

After several continuous years graving, I've given up walking the lawns. It was fun, but life moves on to other pursuits. 10,000 entries is enough, and these books aren't going to read themselves.
Please use any photos associated with your loved ones' sites as you desire; they belong to you. If you ask for permission I'll know you can't read.
Transfers for anybody but close family if you have a good story - or even a bad lie. You can be adopted, or the ex. Life's too short to quibble, Jim!
A note on why some 'souls' evade discovery: Think about it; there's little entertainment for the majority. One game everyone really gets into is to hide while we seek; hilarious watching us bumble about with growing frustration - using nicknames, omitting dates or the ultimate, not paying for their marker!
Earliest ancestors Philadelphia in 1644 on my father's side - My mother's side arrives in 1749 & 1751. Latest kin here by 1777.
In 1685 a Strode grandfather helped Monmouth's attempt to overthrow James II; and in 1745 another grandpa, this time a Grant, marched with Charles Stuart against George II - both causes failed utterly. Strode's son lost his purchase in England and fled eventually to Philadelphia (aboard a misnamed vessel in which he and his wife perished and his orphans prospered).
The strappan Sawney was transported in May of 1747 aboard the "Gildart', indentured, got a pass - then joined the opportunistic hoards flooding through Cumberland Gap. That whole pack has enough romantic burnishing to fill several Janice Holt Giles novels.
I'm NOT directly related to Daniel Boone of pioneer fame - but to two of his sisters (5th great-grandmothers - Mary's grandson, Luke, wed Elizabeth's granddaughter, Mary Sanders).
I'm NOT related to Gen. John J. Pershing - but his uncle, J.S. Pershing (by another wife of our common sire, J.M. Pershing) is my great-grandfather.
NOT connected to Wm. Jennings Bryan at all - former Secretary of State and thrice Presidential candidate, a dedicated public servant and son of a dedicated public servant, who once lent law books to the aforementioned Mr. Pershing.
My direct lineage seems to have had an aversion to military service but for a maternal great-grandpapa who got himself wounded by the defenders of Vicksburg.
Well, too, there was that earlier trouble in the late mid-1700s; a few grandpas mixed it up in the Ohio Valley, rode with Geo. Rogers Clark and the boys - other scuffles with the Tories in the Carolina and Kentucky hills. Most got pensions for their efforts (them who weren't Loyalists). Myself - I spent three years in the US Army working for the Security Agency.
And - this from another graver:
'Much better to be looking for dead people, than to have dead people looking for you.'

I looked him up again on the Nationwide Gravesite Locator for veterans. It still states that cemetery, however a lot of veterans have names, dates, etc. in cemeteries and are listed although their remains are elsewhere. It is also possible his remains were re interred elsewhere.

RE: Adelaide McCarthy
It's all good... Boyd was his middle name. Daniel Boyd McCarthy is now linked to his wife Adelaide (Koenig) McCarthy. It seems Mr. McCarthy was commonly called "D.B."
Thanks again for creating the two memorial pages.

Hi, I just posted edits for my cousin 139273151, I think he was named after his father Henry Nicholas Schafer, but as of yet I don't have proof of that. Henry was born in Lowell, Lake, Indiana and died in California. I also linked his parents Henry Nicholas Schafer 139273151 and Matilda Susan 'Tillie' Stark Schafer 18623415.
Thanks for accepting the edits and links, Fran

RE: Jeanie Simchuk - - -
You're welcome! It's my pleasure. Very cool to hear that she was a champion skier. :)
I'm not sure why there is another memorial that has her in Fairmount Memorial Park. She is definitely at Spokane Memorial Gardens. I just added her obituary and it confirms her interment at Spokane Memorial Gardens.

AKRON, Ohio - The victory bell rang at Manchester on Friday night as the Panthers took home a 21-14 win over Hawken in a Division IV, Region 13 first-round contest.
In a game that was nearly equal in yards (225-214), the difference was the Manchester defense and a playmaker named Nick Peyakov.
Peyakov, a senior quarterback for the Panthers (8-3), not only was able to get a botched punt off deep in his own territory late in the game, but his touchdown with 58 seconds left in the third quarter also proved to be the difference in the game.
Hawken's Ian Bell (13 carries for 106 yards rushing) had just led the Hawks on a seven-play, 87-yard drive to make it a 14-7 game with 7:43 left in the quarter.
The momentum seemed to have swung, but Peyakov had other ideas. He rallied his team and took them on a 13-play series and his touchdown was one that could make highlight films. Faced with a second-and-goal from the 9-yard line, he rolled right and made an unbelievable leap.
"We really came together tonight as a team, especially in the second half and really were able to pull it out," Peyakov said. "I feel like we are at a good place right now, we are all connecting well and I think it will continue."
The Hawks, though, showed some resiliency themselves, especially late in the fourth quarter. Bell completed a routine pass to Mark Murgiano, who gained 11 yards, but he then pitched the ball back to Ryan Stilson, who rambled the final 45 yards for the score.
"We actually haven't used that play in 10 years," Hawks coach Cliff Walton said. "We had a young man from the '92 team we used to use it with. But we just put it in to try to open things up, and I was really happy they executed it."
Then they executed an onside kick to perfection, as it was recovered by Joey Maribito. While Bell did his best to make something happen, it was Manchester's defensive unit that sealed the win. Bell was under pressure and on a fourth-and-26 play, couldn't convert.
"We just continue to do stuff like that," Manchester coach Jim France said. "They are a well-coached football team. They are athletic and quick and we just didn't wrap them up good enough. A lot of it, we were killing ourselves."
Austin Klein aided the Panthers attack with 102 yards on 14 carries. His 3-yard touchdown run in the second quarter gave Manchester a lead they would never relinquish.
Hawken finishes its season at 9-2.
"We had opportunities in the first half, but really hurt ourselves," Walton said. "They showed a lot of fortitude.''"

Commissioners amended the proposed $365 million budget to reduce taxes by 4.8 percent and require Hansell to cut $5 million more in spending, without specifying where those cuts should come from.
Hansell said the tax cut is too high and will create major future deficits, and that the $5 million in spending cuts is impossible to achieve and would result in widespread layoffs or furloughs.
"They are creating a budget that is not achievable or sustainable," Hansell said. "And they are holding a threat over the heads of every single employee in the county."
Commissioner Vice Chairman Scott Ott, the primary sponsor of the amendment, maintains the $5 million spending cut is achievable, acknowledging that some personnel changes would likely be necessary.
Ott also noted that previous budget years have ended with finances ahead of original projections, often in amounts between $3 million and $5 million.
"The county administration has managed to find ways to squeeze out money every year," Ott said. "So I think a little less catastrophic talk and a little more deliberation over the record would probably be useful from the administration."
Commissioners will hold a final vote on the budget Oct. 24, after which Hansell will have 10 days to veto it.
Votes to override veto lacking
If the veto is not overridden, Hansell's original budget would be passed, which keeps taxes steady and includes a $6.5 million one-time tax credit, rather than a permanent tax drop called for by commissioners.
All five commissioners who voted for the budget amendment are Republicans. Two of the no votes also came from Republicans, and the other two were from Democrats.
The dissenting Republicans -- Percy Dougherty and Brad Osborne -- said they do not expect to change their votes. Both say they favor cutting taxes and spending, but that this amendment goes too deep.
"Unless somebody can give me a convincing argument to change my mind, I see no reason right now," Dougherty said. "I'm going to listen, but as of right now I don't see what would change my mind."
The budget amendment was supported by Ott, Vic Mazziotti and Lisa Scheller -- who together make up the fiscally conservative "reform slate" -- as well as Mike Schware and Thomas Creighton.
"It's completely demoralizing"
The language in the budget amendment cuts the $5 million from full-time personnel, scaling back about 10 percent from every county department, including the district attorney's office, court administration, prison, fiscal office and sheriff's department.
Commissioners have stressed they are not suggesting those be the final cuts, and say Hansell will have the flexibility to determine where budget cuts can best be made and change them accordingly.
But Hansell says because he believes $5 million in cuts cannot be made, the likely result is they will impact those personnel funds, which he says would result in terminations or unpaid furloughs late into 2013 when the money runs out.
"It's completely demoralizing to the employees to have this threat hang over their head," Hansell said. "They're saying, 'We're going to hold all the county employees hostage.'"
Mazziotti noted Wednesday that when the 2011 budget was passed, a $5 million shortfall was expected, but by the end of the year the fund balance had increased by $7 million. He said that $12 million difference shows $5 million in cuts are possible.
Ott also noted the "reform slate" was elected by an overwhelming margin last year, which he said proves the voters supported their agenda of lower taxes, less spending and fiscal conservatism.
"The voters have spoken very clearly on that issue, but I don't think the administration has clearly heard them," Ott said. "... When we get to the point where our number one loyalty is to preserve the payroll of government employees rather than the interest of taxpayers who elected us, then I think we've lost our perspective."
Hansell was appointed in August to replace former Executive Don Cunningham. Cunningham issued only two vetoes during his more than six years as executive, the most recent against the current board of commissioners over reassessment.

Lance Not Lovin' NYC
Lance Bass' career may have brought him to New York, but the Hairspray star's heart lies elsewhere. New York magazine caught up with the out entertainer and got his uncensored thoughts on the big apple. And they're not very nice. First, he's not down with our real estate:
There's a lot of pieces of crap here for a lot of money. And I don't think anyone here has any style. I was looking at fully furnished places and it was like, you can either have a bunch of floral prints or some dusty couch from the 1960s.
While the newly single Bass doesn't say where he finally settled, we bet it's not the Upper East Side, where former band mate Justin Timberlake owns a restaurant, Southern Hospitality: "I've been a few times. But it's really up there. The Upper East Side? I'm not in college anymore." No, Lance, no you're not….
Bass' New York adventure hasn't been all bad. The former boy bander learned a new skill: "My walking pace has picked up a lot." You better be a good runner, girl, 'cause we New Yorkers don't take kindly to LA-types trashing our town.
Ash, FWIW, according to Perez, Lance denied he made those comments in his MySpace blog (which is private, so I haven't actually read it for myself). He says he told the reporter he didn't like the first few apartments he looked at but she wrote he said it about all NYC, and she similarly twisted his words about Justin's restaurant.
Hey, some of us like that 1960s retro-modern charm. Get some Endust baby, go to IKEA and refit the damn place, making it groovalicious.
And he's actually really good in the show. And the truth about tiny, crappy places…the truth hurts, don't it?
But I don't believe he said most of that. He's a little more savvy than some give him credit.
What a fucking tool! LA bugs and "Los Angelenos" definitely bug!
He's jealous.
Excuse me?!?!?! LA has hooker/user/poseur style, how dare he trash NY style. Girl, New York is on the cutting edge of design, you can go back to LA with your Juicy Couture tracksuit but you can never diss New York style. You are still fug!
Again, why does he matter or what HE thinks? He is the 5th member of a boy-band that was popular in a period of music that possible was the worst periods of American music in its history. The only reason he is of note anymore is because he is gay (which is counterproductive to a group of people who are trying to say we are human too and love is the same no matter sex but yet we want to split into our own community and do so by posting thngs like this. Once again who the fuck cares gay , str8, bi, or blue I just want o good content to read. To the subject, NYC is of a certain elevation and different and difficult place to live. It takes a particular open minded evolved breed, with intelligence and talent to live there. You end up loving it and staying or else you go back to middle America (L.A. in city form, in his case) in 3-6 months. I have seen it happen over and over.
No one goes to the UES, except people who live in the UES, though.

PENNSVILLE – There were probably plenty of people who thought the Glassboro High School football team shouldn't have even been in the South Jersey Group I playoffs at 3-5 after the regular season.
Those people, and everyone else, can find the Bulldogs at Rowan University in two weeks playing for a sectional title.
Junior Mike Maldonado was 10-of-15 passing for 210 yards and four touchdowns, the last to Jon Crawford with 47.7 seconds left in the game, to lift fifth-seeded Glassboro to a 40-33 upset victory over No. 1 Pennsville to reach another South Jersey Group I final.
"It's been a rollercoaster of a season, it's been so unpredictable," said an emotional Bulldogs coach Mark Maccarone as he knelt on the field. "People have counted us out, people didn't think we belonged in the playoffs. But when we had to get the job done, we managed to do it. It's been … highs and lows, sleepless nights, pulling hair out … but it was all worth it to get to this point."
Pennsville (8-2) rallied from a 32-19 fourth-quarter deficit to take a 33-32 lead after quarterback Dylan Cummings' third TD run of the night, a draw from 29 yards with 3:14 to play. A pass interference penalty and 37-yard completion to Juwan Johnson – who hadn't played in three weeks before Friday night – quickly put the Bulldogs (5-5) in the red zone on the ensuing drive.
On fourth-and-3 from the 10, Maldonado rolled out and found a wide-open Crawford in the corner of the end zone. Pennsville drove back to the Glassboro 29, but a fourth-down pass fell incomplete.
"It's surreal, I wasn't even playing football (a few weeks ago)," said Maldonado, who returned to the team midway through the season. "I just want to thank my teammates, I couldn't do it without them. They embraced me coming back in the middle of the season. I had to earn my spot, I want to thank the coaches who gave me a chance. They accepted me. It's just history."
Johnson had TD catches of 17 and 80 yards for Glassboro to finish with 134 yards receiving, and was a factor in Maldonado winning the passing battle with Cummings, South Jersey's all-time passing leader. He finished 10-of-26 through the air for 131 yards and a touchdown, but added a game-high 173 yards rushing on 19 attempts.
"It's an honor to even be on the field with him," Maldonado said of Cummings. "He's the South Jersey passing leader in so many categories. I play him in baseball and football, all I wanted was to play him. My hat goes off to him."
Cummings also threw one critical interception that started the game's scoring. After three straight three-and-out possessions to open the game, Glassboro was energized when it got on the scoreboard first with an Acosta Kittles 5-yard interception return of a Cummings pass late in the first.
The next two Bulldogs drives covered 145 yards, most of the second quarter, and ended in scores. Maldonado hit Johnson with a fade in the corner of the end zone, while running back Ronnie James (27 carries, 123 yards) capped the next drive with an 8-yard run. James would later add a TD catch and two two-point conversions.
Drew Burdsall had six catches for 76 yards and a score for Pennsville, passing Upper Merion (Pa.)'s Bobby Thomas for the all-time South Jersey/Southeastern Pennsylvania receptions mark. Burdsall now has 177 career catches.
The Eagles were hit with seven penalties for 61 yards, many at seemingly critical times, and turned the ball over twice without forcing one of their own. Both turnovers came in the first half and led to Bulldogs touchdowns.
"We made too many mistakes tonight," Pennsville coach Ryan Wood said. "They had no business coming into the playoffs at 3-5, they're a much better football team than that. Unfortunately they showed that tonight. Good luck to them, I'm sure they'll represent Tri-County well."

text: There are many stories about man and wolves. Some say we domesticated the wolf. Others contend that it was they who domesticated us. Of course there's the story of Romulus and Remus, the builders of Rome, suckled by a she-wolf. I think of all animals, it would be wolves/wild dogs that we'd most likely befriend, or at least form a mutually beneficial partnership.

LANSING — Muskegon County is getting a share of more than $2.6 million in federal money for transportation projects.
The money will go toward construction of Phase 1 of the Fred Meijer Berry Junction Trail, a 6-mile nonmotorized trail from White Lake Drive in Fruitland Township to Tyler Road in Dalton Township.
The trail will ultimately be a link between the Hart-Montague Trail, the city of Muskegon Lakeshore Trail and the Musketawa Trail.
The project cost is $1,083,238, including $541,619 in federal Transportation Enhancement funds, $442,240 from the West Michigan Trails and Greenways Coalition, $89,879 from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment Recreation Improvement Fund and $9,500 from Fruitland and Dalton townships.
The state on Tuesday announced the grants, which also are going to nonmotorized trail and streetscape improvement projects in Alger, Lenawee and Washtenaw counties and Detroit.
The projects in Alger and Washtenaw counties include bike paths, bike lanes or a combination of both. Streetscape improvements are planned in the Lenawee County community of Blissfield.
Money also will help pay for a portion of the Detroit RiverWalk near the Detroit/Wayne County Port Authority's new public dock and terminal.
More details on the projects are listed on the Michigan Department of Transportation's website — www.michigan.gov/mdot.
— The Associated Press contributed to this report

The University of Massachusetts defeated the River Hawks 5-4 on a goal by Danny Hobbs with 11.6 seconds remaining in the game. Lowell had come back from a 4-1 deficit to tie the contest.
It was the 12th straight loss for the River Hawks, particularly painful because they scored four goals in a game for the first time since Oct. 22.
MacDonald called it three games within a game. Lowell scored 28 seconds into the contest, and it was a good start. UMass took over the contest late in the first period, and throughout the second with a season-high 19 shots on goal for a period. The River Hawks, with the momentum from a short-handed goal, took it over from there.
MacDonald said there was "poor spacing" by the defense for the early UMass scores, and called it "a game of giveaways and turnovers and self-inflicted wounds."
To get out of their funk in the second half, he said Lowell would have to have "a dramatic change in our puck security."
Look for Lowell to play Saturday night's rematch (7 p.m., Mullins Center) like it was the deciding game of a playoff.
Also look for a change in goaltenders. Marc Boulanger played last night, but when it was suggested to MacDonald that he faced a lot of shots, MacDonald answered that he barely moved on the winning goal, making Doug Carr the likely starter Saturday night.
"The pace of our game was pretty good," MacDonald said of a positive. "But it's pretty hard to celebrate when you hurt yourself with massive turnovers."
