Man charged with attempted murderApril 21,2014The Associated Press
BURLINGTON — Vermont police have arrested a man accused of trying to strangle a woman in Burlington.
Police say 34-year-old David Godin was arrested Sunday afternoon in Burlington. He being charged with attempted homicide, burglary, criminal mischief and interfering with access to emergency services. It was not immediately known whether he has a lawyer.
Police said Godin went to the victim's apartment three times Saturday night and early Sunday morning. They say he kicked in the door the first time, tried to strangle the woman and took her phone so she couldn't call for help the second time, and broke in again the third time, when the woman wasn't home.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Panel might create zone of its own for CSJBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | December 07,2013City officials will consider giving the College of St. Joseph its own zoning district.
The college is in a single-family residential zone, but the Planning Commission meeting scheduled for Wednesday will include a discussion of creating an educational park district.
It should have been changed some time ago, Planning Commission Chairman Jack Facey said Friday.
Facey said the existing zoning ordinance has no such district, so the city will have to create a new category. The Planning Commission would make a proposal to send to the Board of Aldermen, which would then approve or reject the change to the ordinance, most likely after a discussion in the Charter and Ordinance Committee.
Facey said there would be at least one public hearing conducted by each body. He said he did not know if the commission would emerge from the meeting next week with a recommendation.
When weve talked about it informally, all the Planning Commission members seemed to think it was the right thing to do, he said. I dont know what will come up in the discussion.
While the plan is to only apply the new regulations to the colleges property, Facey said he did not consider the proposal to be spot zoning.
Youre talking about a 150-acre parcel thats been used for a school for decades, he said. I know (spot zoning) when I see it. This is not it. If you have one parcel surrounded by other parcels the same size ... thats spot zoning. This is a whole area thats been used for education for 50 years. Thats not spot zoning.
Facey said the city underwent a similar process for the grounds of Rutland Regional Medical Center.
Lets call it what it is, he said.
CSJ spokesman James Lambert said the college had advocated for the change but did not believe it had made direct input regarding what form the new zone would take.
Its not anything specific just getting the zoning to more accurately reflect what the college is, he said.
Lambert said he was not aware of any zoning issues with recent or planned construction projects at the college or, for that matter, of the college having any recent or planned construction projects.
I think the last thing that was built was Tuttle Hall, he said. I think that was around the late 90s, 2000. Theres nothing in the works.
The citys zoning ordinance was enacted in the decade previous to the founding of the college. Facey said he did not know how permitting processes for CSJ were handled in the past as any such efforts were before his time.
Probably conditional-use permits, maybe a variance, he said. We dont think that should have to happen.
The commission meets at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

A man who is currently serving 100 years in prison for brutally stomping on a man's face with his sneaker is now suing Nike for not placing a "dangerous weapon" warning label on their shoes.
According to the Oregonian, 26-year-old Sirgiorgio Clardy has filed a $100 million lawsuit against Nike, claiming the shoe manufacturer should have placed a label in the shoes warning consumers that the shoes have the potential to be used as a dangerous weapon.
Clardy was found guilty and sentenced to 100 years in prison for beating a man who allegedly refused to pay Clardy's prostitute. He also severely beat the 18-year-old prostitute.
The jury classified Clardy's shoes as "a dangerous weapon" in order to assure he received the longest prison sentence possible.
During his trial, a psychologist declared Clardy an anti-social psychopath who was 100 percent likely to commit violent crimes again.

ladiezzz this year. no falls in the final flight wahoo! And overall a very splat-limited event
Silverlake, I completely agree. I know that we all tend to look with starry eyes to past skates, but on the night of the ladies' long program, I felt I was watching history. They all lived up to the peak of their capabilities. And the top two went beyond expectations. What a splendid night. I'm sure people will be talking about it many years from now.
Men's: Yagudin's Winter SP in 2002
Ladies: Elizabeth Manley's fantastic, perfect and unexpected LP in 1988. I've never seen someone look more surprised to have skated so well
Pairs: M&D Rach LP in 1994. I still think they were robbed.
Dance: A&P's Romeo&Juliet FD from 1998. It's the program that moved dance from my least favourite to most favourite discipline. Honourable mention goes to V&M and both of their programs this year.
Only problem is that I haven't been able to find a way to watch this year's performances over and over again
So I haven't grown as attached as to say, Sasha Cohen in 2006.
Off the top of my head, I think I'll watch Kim Yuna again and again and Mirai. Also Joannie's SP. I'll watch Evan, too. I always have fun watching the winners even if they are not my favorite because it's just fun to watch them win and their reaction and everything.
When I think of Mao, I'd much rather watch her performances from previous years, sadly enough. Hopefully, next year will bring programs from her that I'll feel like watching again in 10 years...
SP - Joannie Rochette 2010 (I wouldn't wish the circumstances she skated under on my worst enemy, skating 2 days after your mother's death on the world's biggest sports stage in your home country, and yet she managed to skate the most successful SP of her career under ALL THAT PRESSURE - just INCREDIBLE!)
LP - Yu-Na Kim 2010
SP - Stephane Lambiel 2006
LP - Alexei Yagudin 2002
SP - Berezhnaya/Sikharulidze 2002
LP - Berezhnaya/Sikharulidze 2002 (I still think they should have been sole owners of Olympic Gold!)
OD - Davis/White 2010
FD - Anissina/Peizerat 1998

So, no more mastitis - Yay! - but still dealing with a very shallow latch and pain for me. At his 4.5 month appointment, he weighed 15 lbs 8.9 oz and the nurse we saw said it was ok to start bananas, so we've given him a few bites here and there for funsies. But more and more (and thanks to this forum) I am beginning to suspect that he is partially tongue tied. But of course my pediatrician says "If you can't see the tip indent, it's not a tongue tie" and won't really check him for it.
Does anybody have good, solid, research on identifying tongue tie that I can give her? I have found some stuff that is interesting, but I am concerned that I will take my info to my pediatrician and she will sort of not take me seriously if the research is not good. Also—does anybody have a good ENT referral in Portland, Oregon, for tongue tie clipping, if it comes to that?
Thanks ladies.

Kevin Wilson: PNT Managing Editor
In Mark Ribaudo's office there are several different clues to untold stories — from family newspaper clippings to thank you letters from parents to framed photos of current and former players at Eastern New Mexico University.
Another story lies about 15 feet away, in an office that belonged to former longtime Greyhounds head coach Harold "Bud" Elliott, but is now a meeting room.
Ribaudo said the change was part function, part laziness.
There's an unspoken reason as well — comfort. Ribaudo takes on the duties of a head football coach for the first time in his life, but does it from the office where he learned to become the head coach for the Greyhounds.
It's the comfort that a man can feel when he's coaching football, a profession he's felt calling since his childhood. Conversely, it's that same comfort that allowed him to be content working as an assistant coach but have confidence when he took the next step.
Wednesday marks the first fall practice for Ribaudo as head football coach at ENMU. He took time before a Friday afternoon coaches meeting to talk about his upbringing and some of his successes and learning experiences in the sport.
Q: What was your childhood like?
A: I was born in New jersey. I come from a big Italian family from the East Coast. I was raised most of my life out in Tuscon, Ariz. I knew I always wanted to be a football coach when I was very young. I met our high school football coach with one of my brothers when he was playing. I heard that man speak and I knew I wanted to do something along those lines. I was real young … fifth grade, sixth grade.
They gave us a test in seventh grade of what we might be interested in for a career. The teacher said I flunked and I wasn't into anything. I said, "Yes, I am. I'm going to be a football coach." It wasn't on the list.
Q: You played college football at Hastings College and took an assistant job in Tuscon. What didn't you expect when you started?
A: I probably wasn't prepared at that particular time for parental involvement, just how much the parents were involved. I was in college at the same time, so my "dealing with parent" skills needed some work.
Q: Does that change through the years and/or at the college level?
A: What's basically changed is me. I was a college kid then; I'm a parent now and I know exactly what they're talking about. That's their kid out there, that's their baby. And now that I have kids, I understand them a whole lot better.
We're dealing with kids, even at the college level. They're older, but they take things that you say to heart. Kids want to do well — they want to please you and their coaches. You have to be careful how you teach. It's not just a situation in the old days where you could scream at a kid and try to get the result you want. You've got to treat them like they're your kids.
Q: How did you transition to the college game?
A: I was an assistant coach for five years at two great high schools in Tuscon. I wanted to try and move on to the college level. I just packed up and moved to one of the best places in the world for football, Texas, and I became a graduate assistant at Midwestern State. I sent out about 500 resumes, and they were interested so I signed up. Left my family, left my girlfriend, left my friends, left my comfort zone. I knew they played good football there and that was about it.
Q: Your journey led you through Texas and eventually to ENMU. How did you end up at your second stop, West Texas A&M?
A: I got very fortunate. I got to go straight from a graduate position to a full-time position at West Texas. They were just starting a program, which was another blessing in disguise. That's hard to do, starting a program from scratch. It was great education. I spent five years there recruiting in this area, coaching in this area, making contacts. And … one of the greatest things that ever happened to me, I got to know Coach Elliott.
Q: What was your first meeting with Elliott like?
A: I got to know him through competition because Coach Elliott called the plays here and I called the defense there. It was a mutual respect and admiration. I always respected Coach Elliott for the kind of program and the kind of product he put out on the field, and it was dadgum hard to call a defense against Coach Elliott.
Q: How did you end up calling plays for him, instead of against him?
A: We had a head coaching change at WT. The new head coach brought in a whole new staff, so we were kind of out in the cold. As a matter of fact, I got informed on New Year's Eve in 1996. I found out I didn't have a job, and I was up in the office working.
I spent that whole spring looking for jobs and doing substitute teaching. I saw in the paper that Eastern was going to have their spring game and I said to my wife, "Let's go take a look and see what the Hounds are doing." I had to be around some football, and I hadn't been around a spring practice.
We drove out here and watched the game and just out of courage, I said, "Honey, let me go down and say hello to Coach Elliott." I introduced myself and he remembered me.
He said, "Mark, how are you doing? Have you found anything yet?" I said no. He said, "If you don't find anything, you need to come out here and see what I can do for you."
On the drive home, I had already made up my mind. Regardless of the situation, I was going to make it work. It was a restricted earning spot — not much money at all. My family thought I was crazy, going from a full time job to GA pay. But I knew it was the right thing to do … and it was one of the best moves I ever made.
Q: Talk about your approach with players. How has it evolved with you?
A: It hasn't changed too much. We believe in certain things here at Eastern and there are certain things I believe in. That's why I thought my relationship with Coach Elliott was great. We have the same things in our philosophy, which is take what you have with what you are and make something out of it — and never be satisfied.
We're not going to complain about what we don't have or conditions we can't control. We're going to take care of conditions we can control and think big. We want our players to understand that great things can be achieved. We're really big on belief and visualization and high standards.
Q: When did you visualize yourself running a program?
A: I don't know if there was ever a moment when I decided I could. Everybody that's ever worked for Bud Elliott, if you work with him for a few years and you listen to him, you're going to have a good template on how to run a program. He showed us how to delegate responsibilities, how to let your people coach, how to recruit, how to treat players, how to discipline players. If you paid attention, which I always tried to do, you gain more and more confidence.
Q: When you learned Elliott planned to retire, did you know then that you wanted the job?
A: I always had aspirations of being the next football coach, but I could have stayed and just worked with him for years. I was just content with calling the defense for Coach Elliott.
I thought we had built (a coaching staff) here that we could keep intact. We wanted the opportunity and (ENMU President) Dr. (Steven) Gamble gave us that opportunity.
Q: On paper, you're 0-0 as a head coach, with neither success nor failure. Up to this point, what is your biggest success and your biggest failure?
A: The best thing I ever did was come to Eastern, bar none.
There are a lot of moments you hope to learn from. Really, looking back, I wouldn't change a thing. Even when it's been a setback or a heartbreak, it has given me experience for right now. When we got let go at that other school down the road … it opened the door to Eastern. When nobody responded when I was trying to become a GA, that opened the door for Midwestern State. When doors have been closed, others have been opened.
Q: Do you envision more doors opening or closing along the way? Would you like this to be your first and last head coaching job?
A: I never try to look far down the road when it comes to football. I need to focus on the task at hand. Right now, the only thing I'm concerned about is that 1:30 staff meeting.

Montez, the executive director of the Bee Development Authority, was ready to start watching his alma mater, The University of Texas at Austin, play against Arizona State University in the NCAA tournament.
But the dog kept barking, and Montez could tell that whatever the terrier had found, it wasn't the usual frog.
So he thought he'd step outside quickly to see what the dog had cornered.
What he saw sent him running back into the house to grab a shotgun.
There, not 20 feet from his front door, was a large diamondback rattlesnake.
"It had it's head up in the air like a cobra, and it was trying to bite the dog," Montez said.
Fortunately, the energetic pup was quicker than the deadly reptile.
Montez said as soon as he got the gun, his wife joined him outside. Montez started firing at the snake, and the creature tried to slink off at first. Then the snake went on the attack.
"It was striking at Josie and me," Montez said.
The homeowner said he kept firing, but the snake persisted in its attempt to defend itself.
When Montez fired the last shell from the shotgun he went for a shovel and started hitting the snake with that. Finally, the snake quit moving.
Montez wanted to make sure the reptile was dead, so he called his brother, Ruben, to come help him with the intruder.
Ruben arrived, and the two men finally felt it was safe enough to check the critter out and make sure it was no longer a threat.
"We found out four shots had hit it," Montez said. But the snake apparently was a tough one. The shotgun wounds seemed to just make the snake even more determined to strike back at its attackers.
Montez said the ground is dry around his place right now, and his wife had been outside earlier in the evening watering the plants. He figured that was what attracted the slinky intruder.
After they figured out that the venomous creature was no longer a threat, Montez headed back to the living room to watch the rest of the basketball game.
"There were only two minutes left," he said. The battle with the deadly reptile had kept him away for most of the game.
Still, Montez got to see his Longhorn team win with a buzzer-beating shot.
But he had a word of caution for Bee County residents Friday morning, especially for anyone who lives out in the country.
"They're out there," he said. Anybody who ventures outside for the next six months or so needs to be careful where they step. Rattlesnakes can kill.
Montez also has a new respect for his dog. In spite of the numerous attempts made by the snake to strike the animal, the dog was quick enough to get out of the way.
The next time the Jack Russell barks, Montez will be a little more careful about checking to see what he has found.

Basel Mural III, Fragment 1, 1956-1958
Sam FrancisAmerican, 1923-1994
oil on canvas
152-5/8 x 40-1/4 in. (388 x 102 cm)
Norton Simon Museum, Gift of the Sam Francis Foundation
© Norton Simon Museum
On view
In 1956 California-born artist Sam Francis was commissioned to create three canvases for the Kunsthalle in Basel. After the Swiss museum declined to purchase the panels they were dispersed. The central panel, known as Basel Mural II, was sent to Amsterdam where it now resides at the Stedelijk Museum. Basel Mural I and III traveled to the United States, and at some time during their shipment and storage before 1967, they sustained water damage. Basel Mural I was treated and then donated by the artist to the Pasadena Art Museum that year (see Basel Mural I), but the third mural was deemed too difficult to repair. As a result, the artist decided to cut and re-stretch the portions that were undamaged. Two of the four panels salvaged by the artist were donated to the Norton Simon Museum by the Sam Francis Foundation in November 2009 (see also Basel Mural III, Fragment 2).
References to the sea and sun through radiant blues, oranges and yellows, coupled with the near translucent application of oil reminiscent of his career-long interest in watercolor, are prevalent in all three canvases. However, the less imposing size of the narrow panels encourages a closer examination of Francis's artistic methods. Indeed, the incredible range of blues and whites are particularly apparent in these works. And while his handling of paint certainly recalls the gestural abstraction explored in the 1950s by American artists like Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, Francis's brush instead appears more delicate, more nurturing, and ultimately secondary to the expressions of light and color that so interested him.

I'm so freaking pumped for this one... I've got still plenty of **** to do today, but the only thing I can think about is the Heat game.
Anthonys status is a major concern for a Knicks team in search of their second victory over Miami this season. New York relies on Anthonys ability to shoot from the 3-point line, break down the opposition off the dribble, and work in the post while playing the power forward position.
James and Anthony will not necessarily defend each other on every possession but for a majority of the game, the two friends will be highlighted one-on-one. Miamis MVP, Finals MVP, and Sportsman of the Year is an absolute beast in the open floor. James will attack in transition and in the halfcourt with a strong first step. Anthony and the Knicks interior defense must keep James out of the paint and off the free throw line.
If New York can turn James into a jump shooter for a majority of the contest, the team will have a chance at limiting his impact and force Dwyane Wade and the other scorers to make plays on the offensive side of the floor.
What's Melo's status, boys?
I'm so freaking pumped for this one... I've got still plenty of **** to do today, but the only thing I can think about is the Heat game.
excited, but melo not playing is gonna be a downer...hope he can
Melo said hes GOING TO PLAY..
Im a bit worried about how the injury might effect his play even tho its his non shooting hand. But yeah if we manage to win this game too on national tv AGAIN.. we will get the most respect we've ever gotten from the media..
Well i remember Tina saying Melo would play last night... dunno if hes changed his mind tho..
Believe me, nobody would like seeing us beat Bron & co. more than me tonight, I can't stand those guys, but after last night's W, I say sit Melo. Let him get that hand right...I'd seriously consider starting Chris Copeland in Melo's place..Melo's hurt, it'd be a nice reward for Cope for playing well against PHX last Sunday (why didn't he ever get back in that game in the 2nd half anyway?) and we'd be supplementing Melo's offense with another skilled offensive player so in terms of balance, offense for offense, I think it's the right move and worth a shot. Imagine if win or lose, Cope came out and had a big offensive night tonight against Miami, what a confidence booster that would be for the young man? And maybe it would finally prove to Woody that this kid can help us...Chandler, KT and Copeland would be my starting frontcourt tonight. Why push Melo with the lacerated hand? Give Cope and shot tonight and let's see what he can do against the best of the best. I think Cope could really surprise Miami..
I think Anthony will play in this one.
So pumped. #BeatTheHeat

With the price of precious metals near all-time highs, Kama'aina Metals & Jewelry see just about everything walk in their doors, including a medal from a Hawaii Olympian.
But, it took detective work to identify the silver medal as actually belonging to a Hawaii woman who won the gold in the 1948 London games.
Proudly displayed in the Kama'aina Metals museum is a group of swimming medals.
They came in as a group, but who did they belong to?
Enter Jacqui Woods, the company senior buyer turned metal sleuth. She discovered all the Olympic medals in 1948 were made of silver.
"It was frustrating. There were a couple of walls we hit with it," said Woods. "First, none of them are engraved with her name."
"I went online, did a lot more research and I contacted the Hall Of Fame. We were able to collaborate her other local medals," said Woods. "I think without these guys we never would have been able to authenticate. It was, in fact, Thelma Kalama's gold medal."
Thelma Kalama was a member of the Hawaii Swim Club under famed coach Soichi Sakamoto. She took the Olympic gold in the 100-meter freestyle at the age of 17.
"We actually have learned she was not only an Olympic gold medalist and avid swimmer. She also loved to surf," said Woods. "She knew Duke Kahanamoku and the (Waikiki) Beach Boys. They actually took up a collection for her to send her to the 1948 Olympics."
She later married and became Thelma Kalama-Aiu. She died in 1999.
Kalama was posthumously inducted into the Hawaii Swimming Hall Of Fame and the Hawaii Sports Hall Of Fame.
Kalama's legacy lives on in the Kama'aina Metals museum.
The owners of Kama'aina Metals put together the museum to preserve pieces of the past after seeing so many special items coming in to potentially be melted away. In the museum, you'll find everything from a silver geisha belt to Victorian opera glasses to Thelma Kalama's Olympic medal.

Sports Talk: Pioneer football team seeking improvement
Marietta College first-year head football coach Andrew Waddle has his finger on the up button as the Pioneers can't go down any lower than last season's winless mark.
Big Blue's next triumph will be its first since it defeated Otterbein 30-27 in the ninth game of the 2011 fall campaign. MC also beat Thiel 32-24 in that year's lid-lifter.
With the exact same schedule as last season, the Pioneers have a lot of scores to settle on the gridiron, starting with Case Western Reserve University on Sept. 7 and finishing against Muskingum University Nov. 16 – both road games.
After Case Western, it's all Ohio Athletic Conference opponents.
Needless to say, Waddle – who is succeeding Jeff Filkovski (now at North Carolina Wesleyan College) – and his staff have plenty of work to do on both sides of the football.
It helps, though, having an experienced quarterback in fifth-year senior Tom Fulton taking center snaps. Last season, the 6-foot, 225-pound native of Pittsburgh completed 151 of 325 yards for 1,850 yards and 14 touchdowns.
If Fulton falters, there is Thomas Hinkle and Lucas Havens, who each saw action in 2012.
On MC's 2013 tentative roster, eight signal callers are listed, so the Pioneers are very deep at the position.
Marietta also has a couple of quality receivers expected to return in Kirby Harris and Tannon Roberts, both of whom were All-OAC honorees last season. Harris led the team with 47 receptions for 682 yards and seven TDs, while Roberts had 39 catches for 560 yards and two scores.
Like last season, MC should be able to throw the ball, but can Big Blue sustain a balance and run it?
That'll all depend on the development of an offensive line and running back(s).
Marietta had only one rushing TD all last season – and that has to change this year.
On the other side of the ball, All-OAC linebacker Jake Hammer is back, and that's a plus. Last year, the 6-foot, 201-pounder was credited with 115 stops (47 solo, 68 assists), 3.5 tackles for loss, and one interception.
Defensive back Robert Brown led the team with three interceptions, and linebacker Franklin Holmes is a three-year letterwinner.
But this trio of Pioneer defenders, of course, won't be able to do it alone. They're going to need help and lots of it.
With the graduation of former Marietta Tiger Sean Munfield, the Pioneers will have a new punter on special teams this upcoming season.
While he wasn't listed on the Marietta College tentative roster, Warren's Chas Miller is expected to be one of the Pioneers' place-kicking candidates.
Miller, who owns the Warriors' school record with a 47-yard boot between the uprights, has a strong leg and good range on the gridiron.

Investment Fees are Something, But Not the Only Thing
But the cheapest index funds cost 0.1% to 0.4%, and the most expensive active open-end funds cost between 1.2% and 2%. Assuming both have the same annual total return, the most you can increase your return is 1.9%.
|Lower fees may mean a better rate of return, but they're only a piece of a much bigger picture.
No doubt 1.9% compounded over 20 years or more is a significant increase, but that is an extreme example; the normal difference is maybe 0.5 to 1%. The lower the additional yield, the lower the long-term impact.
The real issue is that fees are only a piece of a much bigger picture.
Investing is not simple. Index funds and active funds are not always the best answer. The best answer is that sometimes, for some assets, indexes are best, and sometimes, for some assets, active funds are the best. The 401(k) industry and the Department of Labor have been looking for the holy grail of simple investing so the average person can make a good rate return to be able to retire on their 401(k) balance, but the problem is there is no simple investing concept -- and even if an approach works for a time, it will not always work.
Pre-retirees should know 401(k) investing is built on Modern Portfolio Theory, and the most important point here is that MPT is nothing but a theory.
The most important thing I learned in my investing career is that, "Every security, every industry and every market can go to zero." With this in mind, I am always attentive to risk, not volatility. MPT is all about moderating volatility to accommodate a person's psychology to accept wide swings in asset prices. Managing risk requires one to understand an asset and its value. Volatility to a true asset manager merely creates opportunity.
The wealthiest investors today are investing with hedge funds, private equity and venture capital. Many of these investments charge what would seem to be outrageous fees of 2%, plus 20% of profits over net 5%. Even Warren Buffett hired two former hedge fund managers to potentially take over the Berkshire(BRK.A) portfolio long-term. Why did he not just place the funds in a MPT risk allocation using cheap index funds?
The simplest way I can explain when and how to use an index fund versus an active fund is as follows: Use an index fund when you feel comfortable long term in an asset class you desire to own over a five-year-plus time frame and you don't have the expertise to pick specific securities. If you feel the large-cap multinational U.S. companies are a great long-term value and you intend to buy them, you are probably best suited to buy an S&P 500 index fund. Use an active U.S. managed fund when you are not sure what to own domestically but you like the U.S. long term. Use an actively managed worldwide fund if you want to be invested but are not sure what or where in the world to buy. Use an index fund if you know you want developed-world stocks or solely emerging-market stocks. There is also nothing wrong with buying individual stocks if you have the time and talent to analyze companies.

Hello everyone - I am just wondering how your baby's napping at daycare works out. I was just offered a job at a wonderful school with on-site daycare (I'm a teacher). I won't be starting for four more monthes and my dd will be almost 11 mos. Right now she is somewhat "spoiled" - I still feed her to sleep for some naps, she falls asleep in the car for others, and sometimes I even (shudder) hold her while she sleeps. We also cosleep at night. I would be in no hurry to change this arrangement, as it really doesn't bother me any, but my dh is getting on me to make sure she can nap alone in a stationary device (i.e. crib ) before she goes to daycare. I'm not sure what to do to start this process. Right now, she wakes up from sleeping as soon as I turn the car off, and will only sleep about 30-45 mins if I put her down at home.
Any thoughts?

ISSUE 9 - Mixing it up
One of the fastest growing trends today is combining data and functionality from several sources to create new services. They're called mash ups. Think Google Maps. Yahoo Pipes. Libraries are doing Web mash ups as well: Meebo Instant Messaging. Library Lookup. And, in a way, libraries have been doing mash ups for years. Think story hour, open-shelf access, cafes.

On Friday, the trail where Mitchell Stehling was last seen and nearby canyons were again searched. Rangers used the park's helicopter to search the canyons and mesas of the park while ground-based teams thoroughly searched nearby canyons and trails. The saturation of the area by searchers, dog teams, a helicopter, and horse patrol provided a great deal of coverage, but resulted in no clues, according to a park news release.
On Saturday, search managers plan to scale back to a continuous, but limited mode in which a small team of rangers will continue to focus their search in the areas where Stehling was last seen.
Flyers with Stehling's picture and description remain posted throughout the park. Visitors who hiked the Petroglyph Trail on Sunday and/or Monday have been asked to call park law enforcement at 970-529-4422.

Did you know? ...
• The former EMS medical directors were upset that the county and DeTar Hospital had discussions about the possibility of having an emergency department in Goliad.
• Many, many people are excited about the possibility of an emergency department and/or clinic to provide enhanced and additional services and choices, whether it is with DeTar or another hospital system.
• The duties and responsibilities of an off-line medical director are detailed in the Texas Medical Board Rules under Title 22 Chapter 197 of the Texas Administrative Code.
• Choices and competition result in more and better services and that is why there are multiple restaurants and fast food businesses, multiple convenience stores to buy fuel, food and misc. items, two feed stores, two funeral homes, two banks and soon to be a third, and two bars on the square.
• The auditorium was conveyed from Texas Parks and Wildlife jointly to the city and county in 1966. Both contribute to a fund used for routine maintenance and utilities. Major renovations would be equal responsibility of both the city and county. For FY 2014 the county set aside $100,000 to begin renovations on the auditorium, however, the city chose not to match at that time.
• The "closed/executive" sessions of the commissioner's court on April 10th and 14th to discuss "Personnel Matters" was conducted under the Opening Meetings Act codified as Texas Government Code Sec. 551.074 and to have conducted the meeting in "open" session would have been not only improper but in violation of code.

The question is whether this engineering feat can be pulled off at a price competitive with terrestrial solar power.reliable launch technology, lighter and stronger materials for solar stations, significant improvements in the robotic technology needed to assemble the solar arrays, far more efficient solar cells, more precise digital devices to direct that energy accurately to earth, and significantly smaller and more powerful microwave transmitters and receivers.
At 22,000 miles up, a geostationary satellite is in full sunlight virtually all the time.the equivalent of a trillion of today's dollars to get the first kilowatt of power, and it would have taken 20 years. "The National Research Council and the Office of Technology Assessment looked at it," recalled Mankins. "One of them said, 'Let's revisit this in ten years.' The other said, 'Let's never consider this again.'"
Solaren eventually wants to put in orbit satellites that can generate enough electricity for 1 million homes.and beamed down to a so-called rectenna — an antenna that "rectifies" the microwaves back into electricity. Solaren's, to be located near Fresno, Calif., will consist of an array of smaller antennas that will cover about a square kilometer — far less real estate than you'd need if you were using ground-based solar cells to gather an equivalent amount of power.
By being an early customer, the government can rapidly accelerate development of the technology.we're also interested in weaning ourselves off fossil fuels because climate change could pose national security risks." But there would also be a tactical advantage to space-based solar, Damphousse noted. When the military is operating in remote regions of countries like Iraq or Afghanistan, it uses diesel generators to supply forward bases with power.

Iraq War veteran and Hobson resident Travis Pollok has so far lived his life devoted to the way of the gun and has much experience in the different uses of a rifle - hunting, sport/recreation shooting, and warfare.
Pollok, 32, grew up in Falls City and was given his first .22 rifle at 10-years-old, and has maintained his passion for firearms ever since. His deep interest in gun weaponry led to a desire to serve in the military in a time of war.
Pollok joined the Marine Corps in 2002 and served two tours of duty in Iraq as an infantry rifleman. During his second combat tour in November of 2004, Pollok was seriously wounded by enemy gunfire during the fierce fighting of the Second Battle of Fallujah.
After extensive surgeries and physical rehabilitation, Pollok recovered from his wounds and eventually used his VA benefits to attend gunsmithing school at the Colorado School of Trades, in order to further his knowledge in the details of modern firearms.
Upon graduating from the trade school in December of 2009, Pollok obtained his federal firearms license from the ATF and eventually started his Texas Custom Rifles business in Hobson.
"I've always loved building things with my hands," said Pollok. "I'm kind of a perfectionist so if something isn't just right I'll do my best to make it better or I'll start over. When it's something I've built for someone else, I want it to be absolutely perfect."
Texas Custom Rifles specializes in making custom bolt-action rifles to a customer's specifications. Pollok takes pride in his rifle craftsmanship and creating a finished product that will excel in what it is designed for.
"I do custom builds. Everything I do is specific to what a customer wants," Pollok explains. "Right now I'm working with bolt-action type of rifles. I've built some for long-range hunting, long-range target shooting, varmint hunting…My favorites are the more long-range rifles - heavy barrel, big stocks; big, powerful scopes."
Inside the shop of Texas Custom Rifles are the tools and machinery of the trade. Simple and sophisticated equipment and measuring devices are used to give the specific details of the types of rifles made.
"I do two different styles of custom rifle. I do a full custom build which is a match-grade action, using a match-grade barrel; and then I do a semi-custom, which is a Remington 700 action, which is a factory available action, and I true it up. I true the receiver face and I lap the lugs which makes all the surfaces perpendicular to each other.
"I take what's called a 'barrel blank'. It basically has the shape and contour of the barrel itself, but I have to thread it and chamber it for a specific round."
Pollok explains the benefits and virtues of a custom rifle over a factory made rifle, and the benefits of greater performance a custom rifle gives.
"Those (production guns) are made on an assembly line, dozens or hundreds at a time, and the attention to detail just isn't there," he said "I work in increments of one-thousandth of an inch. When I measure something I use a micrometer or caliper to measure within a thousandth of an inch. When you get that precise, the precision of the gun is that much better; it shoots better, it shoots tighter groups, which makes you able to shoot at longer ranges. You can have confidence of being able to shoot a custom-built gun at a longer range because you know it shoots tighter than something you buy off the shelf."
In recent months, guns have become an emotional and controversial issue in the nation. In the present national debate on gun control and the current proposals on gun bans by certain politicians, Pollok expresses his belief on the rights of Americans to keep and bear arms.
"I think a lot of people that don't think we should have guns don't know guns; they don't have an understanding of guns; they don't have someone that taught them how to use guns. So there's fear, because a lot of politicians spread fear. They say, 'Oh this gun is going to kill you'…like it's an animated object that is going to jump up on its own and shoot you. It's the people using guns the wrong way, not the gun itself."
The personal and civil responsibilities of gun owners, and protecting expanding the rights of those law-abiding gun owners, is what needs to be the focus of the gun debate, according to Pollok. Pollok believes the real issue lies in the evil condition of the heart of certain people, not the gun itself.
"Outlawing guns isn't going to solve crimes," he said. "People murdered and killed each other over stuff way before guns were around. They did it with rocks, swords, bows and arrows…it's not the gun that's the problem, it's evil people."
As a Marine and a citizen, Pollok believes in the importance in preserving and protecting the Constitution and taking its Second Amendment at face value.
"It was a right," said Pollok of the Second Amendment. "It's not like a driver's license or some other privilege that the state gives you. It's written in the Constitution when they founded this country. It is our right, a right to bear arms to protect ourselves from all enemies, foreign and domestic."
Prices for Texas custom rifles typically range between $2,500 and $3,500, sometimes higher depending on the detail involved. For more information and inquiries on Travis Pollok's custom built bolt-action rifles, contact Texas Custom Rifles at 830-391-3993 or visit www.texascustomrifles.com.

A Message from International Education Director Annouska Remmert, Ph.D.
Lorain County Community College is committed to international studies. The College President, as well as college administrators and faculty, have long believed that community-college education must include an international focus. Consequently, an International Initiatives Committee was formed with the initial task of developing an international mission statement. This led to the establishment of objectives to internationalize the curriculum.
In 2000, LCCC applied to the U.S. Department of Education for the Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language Grant (more commonly referred to as a Title VI-A grant) for the 2001–2003 academic years. The request was for $167,454 over two years. The goal of the proposed program was to augment the Associate of Arts degree by developing the Associate of Arts Degree with a Specialization in International Studies.
Specifically, the grant was used to:
LCCC is strategically placed to educate and train individuals to function successfully in a multicultural and advanced technological environment that crosses all boundaries of education, communication, language, and business.

Officers fan across Spokane searching for shooting suspects
Tuesday afternoon's officer-involved shooting led law enforcement agencies to many locations around the city searching for additional suspects.
At one location, near Alcan and Price in North Spokane, four people were questioned by police early in the afternoon. Two were subsequently released following questioning. The other two people were taken downtown for further questioning but have not been arrested.
It's not known at this time if any of the people questioned are connected to the shooting.
At a second location, in the 900 block of East Princeton, the SWAT Team swarmed into a neighborhood after police received information that a person, possibly connected to the shoointgs, may have been hiding in a home or RV.
Both were searched but no one was located.
Neighbors said a couple had been renting the home since last fall and just last month there was a home invasion there. Spokane police say two men with guns entered the home and during the robbery the homeowner was shot in the leg.
The sheriff's office is preparing a search warrant to search the residence, though they did confirm there were no suspects in the home.
Finally, police searched a home in the 5900 block of A Street. Officers searched the home for two suspects they thought could have been in the residence, but did not find anyone there.
It's not known yet who these additional suspects are or what connection they have to Charlie Wallace and the shootings of the two deputies.

Brooklyn Dodger Jim Hughes and L.A. Dodger Bill Russell.
What does Brooklyn Dodger Jim Hughes and L.A. Dodger Bill Russell have in common?
They both wore uniform #18 !!!!
In March's MLB Fan latest leaders, my blog ranked #18. I dedicate it to Brooklyn Dodger Jim Hughes and LA Dodger Bill Russell.
Jim Hughes, a hard-throwing relief pitcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers of the 1950's, set a franchise record for saves that endured for 35 years.
Hughes led the major leagues in saves, with 24, and in games pitched, with 60, in 1954.
"He was a big, tough guy," recalled Tommy Lasorda, Hughes's onetime roommate when Lasorda pitched briefly for Brooklyn. "It would take him three, four pitches to get warm. After a few pitches, he was fogging it. Nothing but hard stuff. Didn't have a breaking ball."
Hughes had two careers as a fireman — one, informally, in baseball, and another in carrying on a family tradition in Chicago.
When he began to quell nonbaseball fires, Hughes could not resist playing on the obvious when he visited one day with his former Brooklyn Dodgers manager, Walter Alston, who was sometimes known as Smokey. Hughes donned a Dodgers jersey for a photo with Alston, but that was not all. As his son Michael recalled: "He had a fire helmet on his head, he carried an ax and he had a hose over his shoulder."
One time I ran into him when the Dodgers had the Triple-A 51's team in Las Vegas. He was there checking the umpiring. I've ran into him at Dodger Stadium several times.
He currently works for Major League Baseball's umpiring division.
Thank you everyone that visit my blog. Of the top 20 fan blogs, 9 are she-fans, lead by the number ONE she-fan Jane . Congratulations to everyone!
Congratulations to the blogsphere 5th year anniversary! I've been here a year and months but I have been posting longer than that! I love that we share our love for this grand great game!
They may be Bums, but they are MY BUMS! Go Dodgers!!

I did notice Tommy Lasorda is shown as the first blog to the blogosphere, wonder how that came about… I like his recent story about wearing red, and even today the Dodgers have trouble with teams that wear red more than the others i think…
congrats on your #18 last month, I am sure it can only get better as the year progresses…
Phillies Outside
Isn't it great how many she-fans there are, not only here at MLBlogs, but at the ballparks themselves? When I look into the stands these days, I think there must be 50% women sitting and watching baseball – and they're not just there to keep men company either. Yay, us!
Yeah Peter, I noticed that too! They probably approched him and he said "OK" A couple of years back I ran into him in San Francisco. My friend told me "he doesn't look like he is in a good mood" but I still approched him to say hi. Once he saw I was not there to ask for autographs, he was very nice and stayed talking with me. I told him "you need to update your blog" He said "I should, ha?" We talked about food, restaurants.
Gotta love Bill Russell. A class act thru and thru. He is so quiet and reserved, but when he knows your not gonna make a big fuss ( take pictures, sign everything etc..) he opens up and just likes talkin baseball.
And all his years with the Dodgers! Tommy says HE bleeds Dodgers Blue??? Well so does Mr. Russell !
Nice job again, Emma.
Yes, is great to see all those she-fans here and at the stadium. I hear them too calling Dodger Talk and they know their baseball.
Bill Russell just went about his business. One time at Dodger Stadium, I was looking at the painting of the the Dodgers infield of Russell, Lopes, Garvey and Cey. Then I noticed that to my left was Russell also looking at the picture. I took a picture with him but it must be on my other camera.
I'm not a big picture or autograph guy. I don't know why….just not. I usually just like to talk to them. I try and let them know just how I appreciate the memories they gave me when I was younger. Relate some great games that they appeared in, and I still remember.
Last week I sat and talked with Bobby Castillo in the BL Club for a 1/2 hour!. He schooled me on so many relief pitcher strategies, and oddities! .Mr. Castillo is the BEST!.
I LOVE the way the Dodgers have brought back the past players to the stadium. I don't care if they are being paid per game, come on their own, or are on the payroll.
Fox NEVER would have thought of that.
I am not into autographs either and I do prefer to say to them, talk with them. But I do like to get one autograph from therm and a picture. I've been watching Fernando since he started and last year was the first picture I have a him. I see some fans just getting picture after picture and autograph after autograph. Like I mentioned above I ran into Tommy in SF and I only talked to him.
Got a story about Babbo. During last year WIN baseball clinic, we were the first group to go to the bullpen. We formed a line to throw but he was taking too long with the fans that he did not get to my friend Lore and I as we were asked to rotate. We told him and he said "I'll make it up to you ladies" but we never got the chance. We'll remind him next time we see him just to tease him and see if he remembers."
Good to see Casey Blake with the hot bat. But man, three players went on the DL on this road trip. I'd like to NY with a win. The Mets are on fire.
Love and Hate. LOL what can I say? ya bum
LOL Mike! I anticipated that post from you. Your Mets and My Dodgers could use a guy like Jim Hughesl.
I love Bill Russell! He's was always very quite, and reserved. Best of all he's a really nice all-around guy, and always has been. I used to watch him play little league baseball in his younger years. LOL If it looked like a bat, and looked like a ball BAM!! off it went!!
You know I how know this?? I'm very pround to be one of his brothers….
Donald, thank you so much for visiting my blog! That is so cool that you ran into my blog! One of many reasons why I like having a blog! I went back and read what I posted. I can go back to that time and see what I posted and relive that! I even read all the posts. Rob who also has Dodger season tickets started posting again in his blog. I am glad to have another Dodger fan. If I see Bill I will tell him!
Another reason that I like having a blog is the interaction with other fans that love this great game which reminds me I have to emailed back a Brooklyn Dodger fan that I don't know but he wrote to me.
