When it comes to fat, trans fat is considered by some doctors to be the worst type of fat. Unlike other fats, trans fat — also called trans-fatty acids — both raises your "bad" (LDL) cholesterol and lowers your "good" (HDL) cholesterol.
A high LDL cholesterol level in combination with a low HDL cholesterol level increases your risk of heart disease, the leading killer of men and women. Here's some information about trans fat and how to avoid it.
What is trans fat?
Trans fat is made by adding hydrogen to vegetable oil through a process called hydrogenation, which makes the oil less likely to spoil. Using trans fats in the manufacturing of foods helps foods stay fresh longer, have a longer shelf life and have a less greasy feel.
Scientists aren't sure exactly why, but the addition of hydrogen to oil increases your cholesterol more than do other types of fats. It's thought that adding hydrogen to oil makes the oil more difficult to digest, and your body recognizes trans fats as saturated fats.
Trans fat in your food
Commercial baked goods — such as crackers, cookies and cakes — and many fried foods, such as doughnuts and french fries — may contain trans fats. Shortenings and some margarines can be high in trans fat.
Trans fat used to be more common, but in recent years food manufacturers have used it less because of concerns over the health effects of trans fat. Food manufacturers in the United States and many other countries list the trans fat content on nutrition labels.
However, you should be aware of what nutritional labels really mean when it comes to trans fat. For example, in the United States if a food has less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving, the food label can read 0 grams trans fat. Though that's a small amount of trans fat, if you eat multiple servings of foods with less than 0.5 grams of trans fat, you could exceed recommended limits.
Reading food labels
How do you know whether food contains trans fat? Look for the words "partially hydrogenated" vegetable oil. That's another term for trans fat.
It sounds counterintuitive, but "fully" or "completely" hydrogenated oil doesn't contain trans fat. Unlike partially hydrogenated oil, the process used to make fully or completely hydrogenated oil doesn't result in trans-fatty acids. However, if the label says just "hydrogenated" vegetable oil, it could mean the oil contains some trans fat.
Although small amounts of trans fat occur naturally in some meat and dairy products, it's the trans fats in processed foods that seem to be more harmful.
Trans fat and cholesterol
Doctors worry about trans fat because of its unhealthy effect on your cholesterol levels — increasing your LDL and decreasing your HDL cholesterol. There are two main types of cholesterol:
- Low-density lipoprotein (LDL). LDL, or "bad," cholesterol transports cholesterol throughout your body. LDL cholesterol, when elevated, builds up in the walls of your arteries, making them hard and narrow.
- High-density lipoprotein (HDL). HDL, or "good," cholesterol picks up excess cholesterol and takes it back to your liver.
A high LDL cholesterol level is a major risk factor for heart disease. If your LDL is too high, over time, it can cause atherosclerosis, a dangerous accumulation of fatty deposits on the walls of your arteries. These deposits — called plaques — can reduce blood flow through your arteries. If the arteries that supply your heart with blood (coronary arteries) are affected, you may have chest pain and other symptoms of coronary artery disease.
If plaques tear or rupture, a blood clot may form — blocking the flow of blood or breaking free and plugging an artery downstream. If blood flow to part of your heart stops, you'll have a heart attack. If blood flow to part of your brain stops, a stroke occurs.
Other effects of trans fat
Doctors are most concerned about the effect of trans fat on cholesterol. However, trans fat has also been shown to have some other harmful effects:
- Increases triglycerides. Triglycerides are a type of fat found in your blood. A high triglyceride level may contribute to hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) or thickening of the artery walls — which increases the risk of stroke, diabetes, heart attack and heart disease.
- Increases Lp(a) lipoprotein. Lp(a) is a type of LDL cholesterol found in varying levels in your blood, depending on your genetic makeup. Trans fats make Lp(a) into smaller and denser lipid particles, which promotes a buildup of plaques in your arteries.
- Causes more inflammation. Trans fat may increase inflammation, which is a process by which your body responds to injury. It's thought that inflammation plays a key role in the formation of fatty blockages in heart blood vessels. Trans fat appears to damage the cells lining blood vessels, leading to inflammation.
Avoiding trans fat
The good news is trans fat is showing up less in food, especially food on grocery store shelves. If you eat out a lot, however, be aware that some restaurants continue to use trans fat. Trans fat is sometimes a part of the oil restaurants use to fry food. A large serving of french fries at some restaurants can contain 5 grams or more of trans fat.
How much trans fat you can safely consume is debatable. However, there's no question you should limit trans fat, according to the Food and Drug Administration and the American Heart Association (AHA).

Sweet Caroline!
That's how we have to look at it right now. With a very intense 10th
inning now completed, the Orioles held on and beat the Red Sox today,
7-6. This ends their 3 game series for the weekend, and brings the birds
back home for a bit.
It truly was a thriller. It was a back and forth game through the end,
where luckily the O's stopped the Sox from continuing the lead change trend.
to Wake-field up: Well, we faced Okajima and the fiery Bard after
Wakefield left, and those guys were surprises to our hitters. While we
did get the tying runs off of Okajima, it was a rude awakening call facing a
guy that throws higher than 85. Wakefield surprised me today. I
never realized how slow he was. He didn't break 82 on the day. The
movement must be insane to see in person because other than the movement, there
is no reason any player shouldn't be slugging off of him. He pitched
great against us only letting up 2 ER in 6.2 IP with a 5:1 K:BB ratio.
came out on top of his stuff basically. Was not as good as in Spring
against the Red Sox when he shut them out in his last start with 7 Ks, but not
far off. He hasn't kept up with the strikeouts lately, with a 1:3 K:BB
ratio today. Letting up some hits and not getting into batter's minds, it
was no more than an okay performance. On the bright side, he didn't get
the loss, which wasn't deserved with his good outing. 2 of his 3 ER were
because of the inherited runners that he left on which scored off of Hendrickson.
5 full innings though of shutout baseball is a great stat to see. He also
has stuck down on his pitches and has still not let up a HR this year, which
was his rough point last year.
and Berken each had solid stints, both letting up runs though. Looking at
their outings, neither was off their game, but just had some bad luck with
solid Red Sox hitters making good cuts. Trembley used Castillo for 2 outs
late in the game. JJ came on for an extremely positive appearance, , holding
the score and forcing the game into extras by getting the Red Sox out in the 9th
despite a leadoff single by McDonald who was eventually advanced into scoring
position before the inning ended.
Beltran: Yea, I know that isn't a player's name. There is an Adrian
Beltre. I remember when the Red Sox picked up Beltre in the offseason,
and I got an ESPN update text saying the Red Sox got Andre Beltran. At
that point, I had no idea what they were talking about. Maybe a
nobody? Well, he's made a name for himself today. Just on defense,
the game started off with 2 bobbling errors on back to back Orioles hitters
grounding to 3rd (they ended up only crediting him with 1).
Ever since those moments, he has been a gold glover at 3rd. He
has robbed Tejada of RBIs, and a bunch of other guys too. He has been
making spectacular dives and grabs throughout the entire game. Through 3
innings, 7 out of the 13 balls hit in the field were to Beltre. So his
position demanded some nice plays out of him, which he definitely provided.
was interesting watching the short popups in left field today. On the
first one, which Reimold caught, Izturis actually fell over from running into
Reimold. After that, the three guys (Reimold, Tejada, and Izturis) all
communicated and stuck through the game with no errors. Props to Reimold
also early in the game with a long running catch in left. Proud he
finally held onto one of those. I have been doubting him a lot in terms
of his abilities in LF.
and the end:
O's actually had a 1-0 lead through the 5th. Now most people
at this time would think maybe Wigginton or Markakis had an RBI early.
Wrong. In the 2nd, with 1 out (a Wigginton groundout), Rhyne
Hughes stepped up and smacked a double to the left center gap. Craig
Tatum then stepped up, and unexpectedly got an RBI single. Props to him
for the clutch hit.
the game continued, that left center gap became popular, especially balls off
the wall. Most balls today were hit towards left, whether to the outfield
or to 3B Beltre. No performance was too great at the plate, but the
hitting highlight of the day was that our 1-9 hitters all got at least one hit,
4 of which got 2 a piece.
exciting stuff today. Showed a lot of offensive firepower late which they
have been doing in this series. It is a good sign. Before the 8th,
the only guys with hits were the 1, 2, 8, and 9 slots (as opposed to last night
when 2-7 all had multi-hit games). Coming up with intensity in the 10th,
here's the overall summary of how we took a 7-4 lead:
R. Hughes singled to right, M. Tejada scored, L. Scott to third, T. Wigginton
to second
– M. Wieters singled to shallow center, L. Scott and T. Wigginton scored, R.
Hughes to second
hitting is really coming around. 14 hits as a team today, .311 as a team,
but once again with 10 LOB they are not producing as much as they could
be. Also, the 10 Ks against us really hurt too, with 3 in a row by Bard,
striking out the side in the 9th.
me, it was sad that we couldn't enter the bottom of the 10th and be
a quality baseball team and have a 1-2-3 inning. Is it a requirement for
the Orioles to always worry their fans with late inning runs by the opposing
team, especially in situations of extra innings like this one? I guess.
But at least we held onto it. Props to JJ for not losing his cool.
No defensive woes, but maybe it was just that JJ should have been taken out
instead of going more. Who knows. Either way, we got the W.
2 losses of one run each, this win is something the team needed. Now,
hopefully they can rest on this off day, get their gloves back together, and
bring the same stuff out against the Yankees. It will be the top of the
rotation on Tuesday, and hopefully we can even sweep the Yankees. They
might be doing well, but the offense we are producing may be the key to
overcoming the Yankees steroid and money driven lineup. Hopefully, also,
we can bottle up this quality work by the bullpen today, especially JJ, so that
we won't have to rely on a lot of work by a slumping guy like Fat Albers.
Millwood, Guthrie, and Matusz will all hopefully keep up with their solid
seasons so far so that this lineup can come out and give the O's some wins.
we somehow have one of those high scoring games where you can tell by the 6th
That'd be nice. I hope we can find some type of game or two like
that. Maybe even the series win over the Yankees. Now that'd be
impressive. Just no more of these nail-biters. I'm running out of
nails. inning that we win and are up by 5+?

Introducing a new series
The word punk is usually rolled out somewhere in any capsule description of Patti Smith. But she is the only rocker I can think of who's won a National Book Award, been honored by the French Ministry of Culture and has reviewed Haruki Murakami in the New York Times Book Review. Can someone really both be a punk and so decorated by the gatekeepers of culture?
In Smith's case, yes. She may not have lived as far "outside society" as she suggests in one of her songs, but she has followed her own star through a lifetime of music, poetry and art. At 67, Smith more than merits the godmother status that younger performers and listeners have bestowed on her. »Read Full Article

A rapper's family has to tweak the design for the man's headstone after a Massachusetts cemetery said his monument couldn't include profanity.
Sonny Santiago, 23, died in a car crash in February. His family wanted his headstone to be a 3-foot tall stone carved in the shape of the number one -- his performance name was Uno -- with the lyric, "You gonna remember the damn name, I give a f*** if I die with no damn friends, I got my fam by my side and that's until the end," carved near the base, according to The Daily Item of Lynn, Mass.
But when the headstone maker submitted the design to Pine Grove Cemetery, where Santiago is already buried, the cemetery's commissioners unanimously voted against allowing the inscription, according to The Daily Item. The family is choosing a different, profanity-free lyric to put in its place, Santiago's sister told The Daily Item.
The headstone wording isn't the only point of contention between Santiago's family and Pine Grove. The cemetery has also asked the family to remove stone and mulch laid out in the shape of the number one from the gravesite.

A student at Meadow Park Middle School created a poll online to ask other students, "Who would you kill?", prompting an investigation by sheriff's deputies and the school district.
At first glance, the poll posted to Google Plus looks innocent, asking questions like "Do you like cheese?" and "Do you like/play Minecraft?"
At the very bottom of the survey, the poll takes a more serious turn, asking "Who would you kill out of these people?"
The names of 17 students at Beaverton's Meadow Park Middle School are listed.
One parent said her daughter was very distraught at seeing her name on the list and said if the person who made the poll meant for it to be a joke, she's not laughing.
"Joke and 'kill' are two words that should not even be in the same sentence, especially in a school," said the parent, who asked to remain anonymous.
Once the school principal learned about the poll, she alerted the school district and the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
After an investigation, they found that there was no credible threat and the school remains open as usual.
The boy responsible for the list has been suspended, and his parents have apologized to everyone involved, issuing a statement that says, "Hopefully after the investigation, you will agree with me that [omitted] is not at all a violent person. He is a kid who cares about his friends, his family and others. He also cares about Meadow Park Middle School."
The principal is asking parents to keep a close eye on their children's online activity.

A new study says women who wait more than 60 days to begin treatment for advanced breast cancer face significantly higher risks of dying than women who start therapy shortly after diagnosis.
Researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center examined the cases of 1,786 women enrolled in North Carolina Medicaid system who were diagnosed with breast cancer from January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2002.
Electra D. Paskett, associate director for population sciences at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, said researchers wanted to see whether delaying treatment affected disease progression, treatment complications and ultimately a woman's outcome.
"It's been shown that early detection and treatment can increase five year survival rates to as high as 98 percent. Until this study, we didn't know the profound effect delaying treatment could have," she said.
The median time from biopsy-confirmed diagnosis to the initiation of treatment was 22 days. Sixty-six percent of the women started treatment within 30 days, and nearly all (90 percent) started treatment within 60 days. There was no difference in survival rates for those treated within 30 or 60 days.
However, for one in ten women studied, treatment started more than 60 days after their cancer diagnosis. Among those who had advanced cases of breast cancer, that delay was associated with an 85 percent higher risk of breast cancer-related death, and a 66 percent higher risk of death overall, compared with women treated sooner.
"This research shows we have an opportunity to improve breast cancer outcomes by helping women who are diagnosed at late-stage to get started with treatment sooner," says Paskett. "Even if the goal of treatment isn't curative, early treatment seems to prolong survival and improve quality of life."

New bakeries helping launch croissant craze in Milwaukee
One of my favorite memories of growing up in Nice, France, is of living in a building that also housed a bakery. The smell of freshly baked bread and viennoiseries — croissants, chocolate croissants, pains aux raisins — would waft through the air, daring you to buy some and resist biting into them as soon as you left.
Even when we moved to a different street, three bakeries were within one or two blocks. I was spoiled for choice. After moving back to the United States, freshly made croissants were on my list of things I missed the most. »Read Full Article

Mark Ruffalo, Keira Knightley make music in 'Begin Again'
Bruce Banner is not the Hulk. Mark Ruffalo is.
The emotional range displayed by the Kenosha native alternates between sensitive or rage-filled in films that, except for "The Avengers," rarely cause a stir. And in my opinion, he has never given a better performance than one of his earliest, playing the emotionally inarticulate sibling in the wrenching family drama "You Can Count on Me." »Read Full Article(2)

Milwaukee Art Museum's 'Postcards From America' puts city in focus
Last summer, the Milwaukee Art Museum's new curator of photography, Lisa Sutcliffe, thanked her new employer for trusting her with an "unwieldy and unpredictable project": an invitation to several elite photographers to come here, respond to the city in their own ways and make pictures over the course of nearly a year.
The result is the first major museum show for "Postcards From America," an ongoing photographic project exploring aspects of American life by leading photographers from Magnum Photos, a prestigious photography cooperative and agency. The exhibit has just opened. »Read Full Article(3)
Watch new videos from Florida Georgia Line and Kip Moore

In the case of the hit-making bro-country duo Florida Georgia Line, the new song, "Dirt," accompanies their unveiling of the first single from a yet-announced sophomore effort to follow their platinum-selling debut, "Here's to the Good Times." In a remarkable twist, the pair of Tyler Hubbard and Bryan Kelley also reveal a much less "bro" and much more "country" side on the steel guitar-infused rural ballad. The video takes the emotions even deeper by adding a narrative from country songwriter JD Souther to the mix. »Read Full Blog Post

Doctors were shocked to find hundreds of tiny gold needles after X-raying a South Korean woman's knee.
The 65-year-old woman had been receiving acupuncture for knee pain, according to a study in the New England Journal of Medicine.
She had been diagnosed with osteoarthritis.
It's thought the needles were left inside on purpose to provide "continued stimulation" after the treatment had ended.
But many medical experts say leaving foreign objects in the body is never a good idea.
Such objects can lead to inflammation, abscesses and infection, and also make it hard for doctors to read X-rays or perform MRIs, Dr. Ali Guermazi, a professor of radiology at Boston University, told Live Science.

Pennsylvania sent draft notices to about 14,000 men in the mail recently.
The problem? They're all dead.
The notices from the state's Selective Service System were mailed to at least 14,250 men born between 1893 and 1897, warning them that failure to register is "punishable by a fine and imprisonment," The Associated Press reported.
Officials called it a "serious glitch" at the hands of a computer inputting error.
Selective Service didn't catch the error until people like 73-year-old Chuck Huey started calling.
He received a notice addressed to his late grandfather, Bert Huey, who was born in 1894, served in World War I, then died in 1995 at the age of 100, according to the AP.
"We were just totally dumbfounded," Huey said.

Just the factsJanuary 19,2013
Just the facts
There he goes again. Paul Burns, director of VPIRG, recently implied that industrial wind turbines can replace base load power plants. He and Chris (dirty coal) Kilian, frontman for the Conservation Law Foundation, are routinely disingenuous in their assertions about wind.
Nowhere on this planet has wind eliminated nuclear or fossil power plants. Yet they repeat the implication constantly in much the same way that corporations sell products or right-wing focus groups disinform.
With the entry of a number of state senators and Vermont Electric Co-op into the discussion, one would expect a more reasoned discussion based on factual data. For the Legislature to get it right, it need only ask one question of the corporate wind advocates, Where is your evidence? They have none. VPIRG forgot to do the research.
This is their typical argument: Global warming is at hand; carbon dioxide from human activity is the culprit; we must decrease carbon dioxide; therefore we must invest billions in corporate wind energy.
While the premises are supported by science, the conclusion of that argument requires a leap of faith. There simply are no conclusive, measured data that support that claim. CLFs expert testimony for the Lowell Public Service Board hearings used that argument with no data, none, nothing. And the Public Service Board swallowed it whole. Crucial scientific discovery was reduced to philosophical (political) posturing.
This conversation is not a question on global warming, it is a question of the efficacy of wind turbines in reducing carbon dioxide. The advocates strive to distract the public with anxiety and fear, while the realists are suggesting a rational, local approach. For instance, using our scarce resources to insulate Vermont homes instead of gifting foreign-owned wind corporations would not only be more effective at reducing carbon but would produce jobs and retain capital and revenue in the state economy. It doesnt get any simpler.
Wind advocates treat this discussion as if it were religion and we, the blasphemers. Instead of producing evidence, Burns, Shumlin, et al. resort to vilifying the blasphemers as NIMBYs, zealots, cavemen, woodchucks, losers.
If we allow them to direct the debate with invective, we will equal the North Carolina Legislature in ignorance when it tried to legislate global warming out of existence. How about sticking with reality, boys? Im suggesting a new mantra for the Legislature, Just the facts, please.

Surprise! Mike Napoli and Juan Rivera Traded for Vernon Wells
Wow. I leave the internets alone for one day and our recently all too mild-mannered Tony Reagins turns into the Trade Ninja again. So intent was I on fun, gorgeous scenery and wine today that I wasn't even checking my email (understandable given that reception up here is pretty hit and miss) and didn't notice the trade announcement until a few hours ago. Mike Napoli and Juan Rivera to the Blue Jays in exchange for Vernon Wells and an undisclosed amount of cash, or no cash at all depending on which reports you read. My, that was unexpected.
Admittedly, my initial reaction to the trade news was a little pouty. Mike Napoli is one of my favorite current Angels players and you always hate to see a favorite player move on even though it's all part of the game. But then the trade started to grow on me. The truth of the matter is, Mike Scioscia prefers Jeff Mathis behind the plate and has said repeatedly that he considers Napoli too streaky to be anything more than an occasional DH. Whether or not I agree with Scioscia's assessment, the bottom line is that barring injuries and with Kendry back at first (Yay!), at the absolute best Napoli was only going to split time behind the plate and see a couple of games as the DH anyway. If the Angels were going to underuse him, I'm sad to see a favorite player go, but I would rather trade him for someone the Angels will use. I wish Napoli all the best with the Blue Jays, except when the Blue Jays play the Angels. He's streaky. Maybe he can have a brief slump those games.
On the other hand, I am not at all sorry to see Juan Rivera go. It's uncharitable, I realize. He gave the Angels a few great seasons but he's been sliding downhill since returning from the broken leg. He just seems to play with fear and hesitation now and the hustle is gone. I can forgive a player many things, including loss of mobility from aging or injury, but lack of hustle is something I've always found very hard to forgive. I wish him well in Toronto, I truly do (except when they play us, of course), but after last season especially, I will not miss him in Anaheim.
As for the other end of the deal? Yes, we overpaid. Whether or not we actually get cash out of this. I'm not even going to debate that. But, with the way deals have been going this offseason, free agency signings, trades or otherwise, I just don't see very many ways for the Angels to have avoided overpaying and other teams already struck those deals. Yes, Vernon Wells is 32. But he doesn't seem to have slowed down in the outfield since his Gold Glove years and, in terms of homeruns, OPS and batting average, 2010 was one of Wells' best offensive seasons since 2006. When you ignore the money (and I am, because, really, how many deals didn't involve insane money this offseason?) the Angels traded two players they were using as occasional utility players for a starting outfielder with a good glove and a dangerous bat. Between Peter Bourjos, Torii Hunter and Wells, I am actually really excited to see our outfield in action this year and I am starting to worry less about the batting line-up…though we still really need a leadoff hitter. I also love how excited Wells sounded about coming to Anaheim in his interview. He sounded ready to win and certain the Angels could accomplish that. Maybe he can help bring some of the swagger and daring the Angels lost in 2010 back to the Big A. Optimism returning and growing.
3 Comments
I immediately thought of you when I heard about the trade the other day. Your team finally stoked the Hot Stove! Wells has always given the Yankees trouble, even during his down years with the Jays, so I know he's extremely talented and I'm glad he's out of our division. And hey, it's not the fans' money. So the Angels overpaid. As you point out, it happens all the time.
Funny Rivera story. It was the third game of last season, and my family and I were front row down third base line. Great seats. Rivera was in left and whomever was pitching struck out a batter for out number two….and Rivera starting running in, thinking it was out three. The fans all started yelling…"Juan!! It's only two outs!!" It took Wood waving him back before he realized it. As he hustled back I could see how red his face was. When the third out finally happened and Juan started in, we all started cheering and Juan took a quick bow, laughing it off. I know, a cheesy memory, but I liked the guy. He hasn't been the same since his broken leg, and I wish him all the best in Toronto.l
Jane – Finally, indeed! And not in the way I think anyone, including the Angels, really saw it coming but hey, at least it's something and I think a decent something at that. I am surprised at all the extremely negative commentary in the press to be honest. We'll see how it plays out this season.
Morris – I don't think that's a cheesy story at all. It's always great to get interaction with the players, and I think this is a particularly endearing Juan story. I have nothing against Rivera personally. I just think he's getting to be more of a liability in left and when Scioscia puts him in right, he gets a chip on his shoulder and fights with Bourjos over the ball. Maybe this trade will work out well for him in the end. It sounds like the Jays plan on using him and not just as a DH and I remember that Juan hits a ton in Toronto. I wish him all the best too…just with a mini-slump when the Jays play the Angels.

Cop impersonator accused of three gun-related felonies
BENNINGTON A local man who has a long history of impersonating a law-enforcement officer was held on $50,000 bail Monday after police said he pointed a gun at his roommate March 15 during an argument over the management of the roommates music career.
Christopher J. Gagne, 38, of Bennington, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court on Monday on felony charges of first-degree unlawful restraint in a manner that risked injury, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and carrying a weapon while committing a crime. Collectively, the charges carry a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison.
Gagne pleaded innocent to the charges but remained in the Rutland jail as of Tuesday afternoon after Judge Cortland Corsones set a bail of $50,000.
In an affidavit, Officer Lawrence Cole, of the Bennington Police Department, said he met with two men, Jamell Rogers and James Kinne, on March 15 around 3 p.m. Rogers said he and Gagne had lived together in Gagnes Union Street apartment for about a month but over the previous two days, the men had argued over Gagne managing Rogers attempt to become a vocal recording artist.
Rogers said they had a heated argument on March 15 in Rogers bedroom and he attempted to leave the home but Gagne physically restrained him.
Kinne told Cole that he entered the home during the argument and saw Gagne restraining Rogers. Kinne said when he tried to pull Gagne away, Gagne threatened to shoot Rogers if he didnt leave.
Kinne said he then left because he didnt want to be involved in the situation but Rogers said while he continued to struggle with Gagne, he noticed that Gagne was holding a handgun.
The affidavit does not provide any information about the make and model of the handgun Gagne was allegedly holding.
According to Rogers, Gagne threatened to shoot him in the head but he was able to get around Gagne and escape the home.
Cole noted that Gagne is 10 inches taller and weighs 55 pounds more than Rogers.
Police searched Gagnes apartment on March 15 but he was not there, Cole said. At that time, Cole believed Gagne was at his mothers home in Williamstown, Mass., and the affidavit said Gagne was arrested there March 16 by Massachusetts police.
Gagne was arraigned Monday in Bennington after waiving extradition from Massachusetts.
According to court records, Gagne, under his birth name, Hans Peterson, has convictions in Vermont for impersonation of a public officer in 1994 and 1995 and providing private investigative services without a license in 1997.
During Gagnes arraignment, Bennington County Deputy States Attorney Alexander Burke said there was an active warrant for Gagnes arrest issued from Jefferson Parish, La., for impersonating a police officer and false imprisonment using a weapon from 2007.
Attorney Lucy McCarthy, who represented Gagne, asked the judge to consider the age of Gagnes convictions in Vermont and said that her client hadnt fled but had simply gone to his mothers home, which happens to be in a town in Massachusetts which borders Vermont.
Gagne also has pending misdemeanor charges of false pretenses, possession of stolen property, providing false information to police and false advertising for which he was arraigned earlier this month in Bennington criminal court.
In 2012, Gagne was briefly appointed as Benningtons town service officer but he was removed from the position after local police received information that he had made false claims on his application, including that he had been a member of the police department in New Orleans.

Scott Earns Career-Best, Sixth-Place Daytona International Speedway Finish in Richard Childress Racing Debut
Brian Scott earned a career-best sixth-place Daytona International Speedway finish in the NASCAR Nationwide Series season opener Saturday afternoon. Scott, who made his Nationwide Series debut with Richard Childress Racing, showed patience and skill behind the wheel of the No. 2 Shore Lodge Chevrolet Camaro for most of the 120-lap event. Scott stayed near the rear of the field to avoid being caught up in the "big one", alongside teammate Austin Dillon and Tony Stewart. After a multi-car incident in the closing laps, NASCAR displayed the red flag for extensive clean up. Once the red-flag was lifted, Scott took the green from the 12th position for a three lap shootout. On the final lap, a second multi-car incident broke out. With nowhere to go, Scott was caught in the accident as he crossed the finish line, but managed to earn a career-best, sixth-place finish at the 2.5-mile superspeedway.
Start - 29 Finish - 6 Laps Led - 5 Points - 4
"Our goal was to leave Daytona with a top-10 finish. We drove conservatively trying to miss the early wrecks. I knew things would get crazy, I tried to put the Shore Lodge Chevrolet Camaro in the best spot I could and make it through everything to get a good finish. Everything broke loose at the end and unfortunately we got caught up in it, but we still crossed the line sixth. As a racecar driver my greatest fear is the fans being injured from one of our wrecks. My thoughts and prayers to all fans involved."
Dillon Settles for 21st-place Finish at Daytona International Speedway Following Multi-Car Incident
Austin Dillon was a strong contender in the No. 3 AdvoCare Chevrolet for much of Saturday's NASCAR Nationwide Series DRIVE4COPD 300 at Daytona International Speedway, but a multi-car incident just four laps shy of the finish caused heavy damage to the Richard Childress Racing entry, relegating the team to a 21st-place finish. Dillon started the 120-lap event from the fifth position and raced anywhere from second to 40th as the field battled two and three-wide through the high-banked, 2.5-mile superspeedway. With approximately 20 laps remaining in the event, the Welcome, N.C. driver was scored in the 20th position and made a plan to draft with teammate Tony Stewart to the front of the field. Dillon raced to the sixth spot and was making a charge forward with four laps remaining, but was tagged from behind and turned into the outside wall. Contact with the wall sent Dillon for a spin collecting several other race cars, creating a multi-car incident that caused extensive damage to the No. 3 Chevrolet and forced NASCAR officials to display the red flag for 19 minutes and 52 seconds. Down but not out, the AdvoCare pit crew went to work making repairs to the black No. 3 Chevrolet Camaro. Dillon rejoined the field when green-flag racing resumed, nursing his entry to a 21st place finish even as a second multi-car incident occurred as the field crossed the finish line.
Start - 5 Finish - 21 Points Position - 16 Laps Led - 0
"We were sitting sixth right there and thought we could get through it, but ended up getting collected in that pile up. It's unfortunate but I am more concerned about the wreck that happened a few laps later and all of those fans in the stands. My thoughts and prayers are with them right now and I hope they are okay."
Tony Stewart Survives Last-Lap Melee to Win Seventh Nationwide Series Race at Daytona International Speedway
Tony Stewart survived a multi-car accident during the final lap of the DRIVE4COPD 300 Saturday afternoon, capturing his seventh-career NASCAR Nationwide Series victory at Daytona International Speedway. Stewart and Richard Childress Racing's No. 33 Ritz Crackers/Oreo team started the 120-lap affair from the tenth position and fell back in the field during the early laps to avoid trouble during the race. Following a lap-107 restart, the Sprint Cup Series regular was scored in the 21st position and quickly made a charge toward the front of the field. Just as Stewart took over the second spot, the field was slowed for the sixth time for a multi-car accident. Due to extensive on-track clean up, NASCAR officials displayed the red flag and halted cars on the race track. When green-flag racing resumed, the No. 33 Chevrolet team was scored in the second position for a green-white-checkered finish. Stewart took the white flag as the leader and slid back as the pack headed into turn two. As the field raced to the checkered flag, a multi-car accident erupted in front of Ritz Cracker/Oreo Chevrolet. The veteran driver was able to maneuver around spinning cars and debris to capture his seventh Nationwide Series victory at the famed superspeedway, tying a record held by the late Dale Earnhardt, Sr.
Start - 10 Finish - 1 Laps Led - 3 Points - N/A
"We've always known that racing is a dangerous sport. As drivers, we assume that risk. But it's hard when fans get caught up in it. This win is a big deal to us, but I'm more worried about the fans in the stands and the drivers involved. I could see it all in the mirror and it didn't look good from where I was either."

The Red Oxx Metro Laptop Briefcase, a fully padded business briefcase with the heart of a rugged adventurer. This rugged CORDURA® nylon padded briefcase can take a beating and still look great at your next meeting.
Volara closed cell foam padding on front, bottom, and back, keeps it standing tall while protecting your belongings. Our Metro Briefcase features internal mesh file dividers on the front and back sides inside the bag. On one side the divider is sewn down to the bottom to keep your files, brochures or magazines in place, while the other side is left open at the bottom so you can secure your laptop notebook out of the way using the Fastex snap buckle. The Metro will fit laptops with a screen up to 17 inches and three inches thick. The dividers have eight pockets total for CDs, a smart phone, and slots for up to five pens, pencils or pointing devices. Each inside mesh flap uses Fastex snap buckles at the top to hold everything in place.
There are six pockets on the exterior of the bag, including two expanding bellows pockets with exclusive 'Red Oxx Finger Loop Snap' closures. These side pockets feature the exclusive ROFLS -- "Red Oxx Finger Loop Snap" closures which utilize our Mil-Spec stainless steel snaps and thoughtfully designed thumb loops that make closing these handy pockets a "snap." ROFLS allows one-handed snapping closure. Simply slip a finger into the loop under the snap post and use your thumb to press the post in place. ROFLS is a clever solution that prevents crushing items (like your precious sunglasses) under the snaps.
Hidden behind each bellows pocket is a flat slip pocket for papers, boarding passes, etc. The bellows pockets work well for laptop batteries or power supplies. The other two pockets are full-length flat zipper pockets for documents or magazines. Also, there are dual water bottle pockets on each end to keep you hydrated during your journey. Confidently carry the Metro using our nonslip Claw Shoulder Strap or by the reinforced nylon carry handles.
Our customers like to define our gear as "built like a tank". While obviously you're not going to be toting around a briefcase that weigh 50 tons and have three inches of armor plate, still the comparison is valid. For a breifcase, the Metro is built tough. Starting with one of the most durable textile material available, 1000 weight CORDURA® nylon, we use super strong UV resistant thread that's stitched into every seam.
Places where two separate pieces of fabric are stitched together are then bound, that is, we take a long piece of one inch wide nylon webbing and fold it over the edges of the two pieces and stitch them together, this creates a strong seam, or binding, that prevents the pieces from unraveling on the inside of the briefcase, or gives it a clean finished look if on the outside like with the Metro pockets.
In addition, each exposed fabric edge, such as on a pocket flap, is also bound using a thicker binding material. Inside edges typically receive a thinner nylon webbing, whereas outside corner edges that are exposed to wear will have a thicker nylon binding. All of our binding material is vertically woven to prevent fraying, peeling or splitting that you may commonly see in competitors briefcases that brag of "binding" their edges.
Each stress point, such as where the handles attach to the case, is double box stitched - which is where we get the "double XX" in our name, Red Oxx; a stitching practice we adapted from our service as parachute riggers.
The reason Red Oxx uses the largest zipper we can afford, the #10 YKK VISLON® zipper, is that they are easily repairable, even in the field; they will hold their place, that is, they "lock"; they are difficult to penetrate, thereby increasing the security of your belongings; they function smoothly in inclement weather and they can be yanked from a variety of angles without losing teeth or becoming separated.
Red Oxx has occasionally been accused of "overdoing" our hardware. But once you've had a cheap piece of plastic hardware break in the middle of a busy intersection, airport or other inconvenient locale dumping your precious documents or electronics all over the ground, having a heavy-duty nickel-plated or stainless steel D ring or attachment swivel that weighs just a little more, or might make a little noise, is a travel companion's confidence builder and peace of mind maker. After all, you want to enjoy your journey as best you can. Why worry about having your briefcase break down?
If all this makes the Metro sound too big, try our Chica Tablet Bag. Too small? Move up to the Metro's big brother, the CPA Briefcase, which is nearly twice as wide (Seven inches vs. four inches).
Check out this tale of a Metro Briefcase that traveled a million miles.

Nelsons are honored for their business
BARRE It hasnt always been Nelson Ace Hardware, but Nelson has always been part of the name of a downtown Barre business that is being honored this year as the Vermont Family Owned Small Business of the Year.
For my staff and myself, its humbling to know that were getting statewide recognition for what were doing here in Barre, owner Bob Nelson said Thursday when asked about the award that was recently announced by the Small Business Administration.
Were all pretty proud, he said. According to Nelson, that includes his dad, Carroll, who started the business then Nelson True Value Hardware in 1983.
That, Nelson said, was the same year he graduated high school, chose to skip college and go to work for his dad eventually converting what would have been his tuition to the University of Vermont into stock in the family-owned business that he now owns with his wife, Linda, and has expanded three times over the years.
Nelson True Value Hardware became Nelson Ace Hardware in 2000, but Nelson is the name people know.
That isnt by accident, according to Bob Nelson, who is the latest in a long line of entrepreneurs.
Theres been a Nelson hawking goods in central Vermont for almost 125 years, Bob Nelson said.
According to Bob Nelson, his great-grandfather, Milo Algernon Nelson, sold some of the first tractors in the area and his grandfather, Meriden Nelson, sold the first Philco radios from a shop in Montpelier and when he was selling radios he was selling and repairing commercial milking equipment.
Then came Carroll Nelson, who along with brothers, Milo and Kenny, started Nelson Brothers a housewares and appliance dealer. That family business opened in Montpelier in 1953, expanded to Barre in 1969 where it was located in the building that is now home to Studio Place Arts, and added a Randolph store before closing in 1982.
I sold my first console television set when I was 12, recalled Bob Nelson, who said his father eventually decided to roll the dice on hardware in Barre and hes been growing the business ever since.
Its in Bob Nelsons blood.
Nelsons doesnt get to where it is now without my dad, and my grandfather and my great-grandfather, he said, noting that his father plans to fly home to Vermont for the awards ceremony in June.
Hes is pretty excited, Bob Nelson said of his dad. I guess we all are.

Beth Lipman explores the longing for belongings

By Darlene Dunn, Contributing writer
Stephanie Elliot's 9-year-old daughter is a vegetarian by happenstance, she says.
"What I mean is she hates meat -- won't even try it -- so getting her to have the protein she needs in her diet is extremely challenging," Elliot says. "I would do anything for her to eat even a chicken nugget."
A new trend shows that a growing number of youth are choosing to follow a vegetarian diet. The latest figures show that 1 in 200 children is a vegetarian.
Like Elliot, many parents may have concerns about whether following a vegetarian lifestyle is appropriate for a growing child.
Tara Gidus, a registered dietitian and nutritionist, says there is no need for parents to fret. "A young person can get all of the nutrition they need with a carefully planned vegetarian diet," Gidus says.
Where To Get Protein
Gidus recommends that a source of protein is consumed at every meal, however.
"At breakfast, you could have soy milk or regular milk and some walnuts on your cereal. For lunch, you could have a bean burrito or some soy pepperoni on a salad," she says. "For dinner, (have) a veggie burger or grilled tofu."
She also encourages consuming 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables and 6 or more servings of grains every day. Grains include any food made from wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal or barley.
While protein may be at forefront of most parents' minds, Gidus says it is also important that the child gets all the vitamins, minerals, amino acids and essential fatty acids that they need.
Gidus says a vegetarian diet can be unhealthy if not properly balanced.
"Many people simply cut meat out and don't replace it with vegetarian sources of proteins," she says. "Or they choose grilled cheese sandwiches, French fries, or cheese pizza frequently. Just like people who eat meat, it comes down to all choices you make in your diet to determine how healthy your diet is."
Gidus adds that vegetarians should take a B complex vitamin, because vitamin B12 is often hard for them to get.
She also says parents should make sure that young people add soy-based or legume-based foods into your diet to ensure that they get the amino acids, vitamins and minerals they may be missing with meat.
OK For Growing Bodies?
Elliot, who is also parenting editor for www.bettyconfidential, says it is OK for young people to follow a vegetarian diet if they are in general good health and have gotten clearance from a pediatrician.
Elliot's daughter gets the protein she needs through peanut butter sandwiches and milk in the mornings.
"She's healthy, thank goodness, but I do worry about her diet every single day," Elliot says.
Elliot says she believes following a vegetarian diet is healthier than one that includes meat.
"The child is most likely eliminating packaged foods and, hopefully, a lot of unnecessary sugar products that most kids eat today," Elliot says.
Additionally, it may be viewed as a "hip or cool thing to do."
"Overindulgence of meat causes clogged arteries and heart attacks -- isn't that what we've always heard? So to stop eating meat is supposed to make us feel like we're doing something good for ourselves," Elliot says.
Why, Why, Why
Elliot says there are a number of reasons, such as peer pressure, that young people choose a vegetarian lifestyle.
