Vt. sells $10.3M in transportation bondsJuly 30,2013
Staff Report
MONTPELIER - The state sold $10.3 million in transportation bonds Tuesday, which will allow Vermont to leverage more than $64 million in federal funds for road and bridge repairs, the state Treasurer's office announced Tuesday.
"Funds raised through the bond sale allows the state to match federal fund requirements for 17 projects, six of the projects associated with Tropical Storm Irene," State Treasurer Beth Pearce said.
Among the more than $75 million in road and bridge improvements are replacement of bridges in Brighton, Hancock, Jamaica, and Plymouth that were damaged in Tropical Storm Irene.
Another bridge in Bennington will be rehabilitated. Other projects include the replacement of interstate bridges in Brattleboro, Milton and Windsor. State bridges in Bristol and Cambridge also will be replaced. Roadway projects include the construction of an alternate truck route on Route 100 in Morristown and road reconstruction and safety improvements in Brandon, Montpelier, Rutland City and White River Junction.
Work on projects is already underway or will begin during fiscal year 2014.
Moody's Investors Service rated the bonds as Aa2 and Fitch Ratings rated the bonds as AA, both with a stable outlook. Standard and Poor's rated the bonds AA+ with a positive outlook.
Transportation bonds carry a slightly lower rating than general obligation bonds. Vermont has the highest general obligation bond rating available, AAA and Aaa, by Fitch and Moody's respectively, and the second highest rating of AA+ by Standard & Poor's. This is the highest state rating in New England.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Court Blocks EPA Biofuels Mandate
The big news on court decisions was about the Obama violating the Constitution when he made 3 recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (which made Lawyers, Guns, and Money's Scott Lemieux go barking moonbat with his headline). Yet, another was just as important but slid under the rada
(Daily Caller) A federal court delivered a serious blow to the Environmental Protection Agency's renewable fuel agenda, ruling that the agency exceeded its authority by mandating refiners use cellulosic biofuels, which isn't commercially available.
The court sided with the country's chief oil and gas lobby, the American Petroleum Institute, in striking down the 2012 EPA mandate that would have forced refineries to purchase more than $8 million in credits for 8.65 million of gallons of the cellulosic biofuel. However, none of the biofuel is commercially available.
"[W]e agree with API that EPA's 2012 projection of cellulosic biofuel production was in excess of the agency's statutory authority," reads the court decision.
The problem here is that cellulosic biofuel doesn't exist commercially
"We are glad the court has put a stop to EPA's pattern of setting impossible mandates for a biofuel that does not even exist," API Group Downstream Director Bob Greco said in a statement. "This absurd mandate acts as a stealth tax on gasoline with no environmental that could have ultimately burdened consumers."
Instead of dealing with real environmental issues, the EPA has gone rogue (not something really new) and has over-involved itself in creating fuel mandates that provide no benefits for motorists (and can harm engine systems along with providing reduced power) and would increase the price of fuel, all in the name of "climate change". And let's not forget that all these biofuels tend to use massive amounts of water, increase the cost of food, and, in some cases, increase greenhouse gas output. In this particular case it was about mandating the purchase and use of a biofuel that didn't exist.

Cash for Trash
BERLIN A local car dealership that has become the focal point for Berlins Green Up Day efforts plans to use this years statewide spring cleaning to assist a student-led effort to develop a state-of-the-art playground at Berlin Elementary School.
The folks at Twin City Subaru say for every pound of Green Up Day trash that is collected and brought to their Berlin Mall Road dealership on Saturday between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. theyll be making a donation to the school playground project
We are always looking for ways to help our community, says Twin City owner Dave Birmingham, who describes Cash for Trash as: a win-win for the environment and for the kids who deserve the opportunity to be outside enjoying it.
Birmingham says he hopes Twin Citys pledge will encourage more Vermonters to pitch in and green up Vermont this year.
As has been the case in past years Green Up bags, free food, T-shirts and work gloves will be available at the dealership, which is a Green Up Day sponsor and central Vermonts dedicated bag pick-up and drop-off location.
Pitch in
BARRE Seniors from Spaulding High School will spend several hours on Saturday collecting coins and cash donations from folks traveling by City Hall Park.
The coin drop, which will be held from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. is a key fundraiser for Spauldings Project Graduation a drug- and alcohol-free party that will be held for this years graduating class next month.
The event, which includes spending some quality time at Pizza Putt followed by a late-night cruise on The Spirit of Ethan Allen III, is expected to cost roughly $20,000 when you factor in expenses for everything from magicians and hypnotists to caricature artists and a disc jockey. Saturdays coin drop is the latest in a string of student-led fundraisers for the event and were told every little contribution helps.
No reservations?
BARRE If youre thinking about giving blood in Barre later this month organizers of the Granite Citys bi-monthly blood drive would sure love to hear from you in advance.

CHICAGO – Right-hander Matt Garza will finally make his first start of the season Tuesday at Pittsburgh.
Manager Dale Sveum and the Cubs determined Garza is ready following his rehab start Thursday for Triple-A Iowa. Garza's return bumps Carlos Villanueva to the bullpen. Sveum said Villanueva can be used in a variety of roles and his versatility will be an asset to what has been a shaky bullpen at times. Garza will likely be limited to throwing 85-90 pitches in his start Tuesday.
A corresponding move to create a roster spot for Garza will not be made until Tuesday, but it is expected the Cubs will demote a reliever with the addition of Villanueva to the bullpen.
"[Garza] threw fine and he did everything," Sveum said. "He felt great coming off going out there six different times and he did everything."
Right-hander Scott Feldman (3-3, 2.53 ERA) starts today for the Cubs against the Mets, which counter with right-hander Jeremy Hefner (0-4, 4.61). Feldman has been dominant in his last four starts, posting a 3-0 record and 1.57 ERA. During that stretch, opponents have hit .170 against him. However, Feldman has surrendered seven unearned runs, tied for third most in the majors. Washington's Stephen Strasburg leads the majors with nine unearned runs.
In 25 quality starts this season, Cubs pitchers have recorded a 2.00 ERA, though they have won only 10 of those games. In comparison, the Cardinals have won 18 of their 28 quality starts.

There was some question whether or not the 2013-14 UConn women's basketball schedule would be formidable in Year 1 post-Big East. Judging by the 13-game non-conference schedule that was announced today, those questions seem to have been answered.
The reigning national champion Huskies will play six games against teams that finished last season ranked among the Top 10 in RPI; five games against teams that won a conference championship; five games against teams that reached to the NCAA regional semifinals; and two games against teams that advanced to the Elite Eight.

The Huskies will also meet Ohio State in the Hall of Fame Classic in Springfield, Mass. Dec. 1 and California in the Maggie Dixon Classic Dec. 22 at Madison Square Garden.
Coupled with 18 regular season games in the American Athletic Conference, UConn will have the chance next season to finish 40-0. Baylor is currently the lone team to reach the mark (2011-12).
Here is the complete non-conference schedule …

Features |Obama for presidentOctober 28,2012
Barack Obama is a historic figure, not only because he is Americas first African-American president, but also because he has steered the nation on a perilous and difficult passage from economic collapse toward recovery. To reverse course now would be a profoundly damaging misstep. That is why President Obama must be re-elected.
It is important to put Obamas presidency in the proper historic context, not to excuse his shortcomings, but to see clearly what he has accomplished.
On the economic front, his stimulus program halted the meltdown of the economy in the early months of 2009. His program saved millions of jobs, including tens of thousands of jobs in the auto industry and related businesses. Indeed, the auto rescue demonstrated for all to see the constructive role that an active government big government can play to nurture prosperity. It is a message that runs counter to the ideology of Republicans who believe that government must be hobbled, its role in the economy reduced. Mitt Romney, loyal to GOP ideology, would have let General Motors and Chrysler go bankrupt.
One of Obamas most significant accomplishments, health care reform, has not yet been fully implemented, which is why it has been vulnerable to Republican attack. It is the largest expansion of the social safety net since the advent of Medicare: Tens of millions of uninsured Americans will have access to health care coverage when it is fully implemented and the power of insurance companies to deny them coverage will be curtailed. Once again, Obamas success was a repudiation of the Republican narrative that government is the enemy.
Obama used the economic stimulus bill to invest heavily in green technology, which has been his most significant step in addressing climate change. The willful blindness of Republicans to the onset of climate change represents a kind of crime against the planet; Obama has done what he could to get around GOP obstructionism.
On social issues and civil rights, Obama stands with the American people and against a party that has become increasingly retrograde on womens rights, gay rights and civil rights. The Republicans efforts at voter suppression in Democratic precincts have been a shameful chapter in American politics. On abortion rights, the extremism of the Republican Party has been revealed in offensive comments by at least two Senate candidates, one of whom declared that when a woman is impregnated by a rapist, it is Gods will. Romney has been smart enough not to endorse these sentiments, but his Supreme Court appointments could well end up acting to put those views into law. There is no reason to believe Romney would not fulfill his pro-life promises.
In foreign affairs, Obama has redeemed America from the squalor and criminality of the Bush years. He has been aggressive in the war against al-Qaida, as he must be. But he has been careful not to overextend the United States. He has exercised both strength and caution, achieving notable successes in killing Osama bin Laden and helping to usher in a new day in Libya. He is tightening the screws on Iran to head off its nuclear ambitions, without indulging in the reckless rhetoric used by Romney.
One reason for the American people to support Obama is to reject a campaign of unparalleled cynicism and dishonesty by Romney, who has been willing to say virtually anything to win election. On almost every issue that has come before him, he has been for it before he was against it, or vice versa. It is all part of a conscience-free campaign of salesmanship that places a Romney victory above any honest articulation of actual views.
The steadiness and intelligence with which Obama has conducted his presidency are all the more remarkable given the poisonous atmosphere of disdain emanating from the right. The cloud of racism always looms on the horizon. Obamas caution and aversion to outright political confrontation sometimes frustrate his liberal supporters, but they are part of his political DNA. One result is that he seems to absorb a vast reservoir of hostility with unusual calm.
The battles to come will be fierce. There is no indication that the more destructive elements of the Republican Party are ready to be vanquished. Romneys promise to slash spending and taxes could initiate a new recession with all the suffering that would entail. Austerity had its test in Europe, and it failed. Romneys subservience to the interests of the wealthy elite would only create further hardship for the American people.
Re-electing Barack Obama in 2012 may not bring the thrill that his election in 2008 did, but the path on which we set off back then was pointed in the right direction, and it would be a tragic mistake to turn back now. There is much to achieve in bolstering the economy, implementing health care reform, promoting education, science and research, instituting greater economic fairness, safeguarding the planet and meeting the challenges of a changing world. Barack Obama has been tested, and he has shown himself to be uniquely capable of taking up those challenges.MORE IN FEATURES15

The first half of the Rays' 2012 season was a tale of injuries. The Rays were simply a team that could not catch a break, battling through injury after injury to keep themselves afloat in the tough AL East division.
"Disappointment" could be a word used to describe the first half of the year, but considering all the adversity and misfortune surrounding them, the Rays' could have been in a much worse position than they are now at the All-Star break. Fourteen players have spent time on the disabled list this season, including seven out of the nine hitters in the starting lineup (and Jeff Keppinger), two starting pitchers and their 2011 closer (Kyle Farnsworth).
The Rays got off to a hot start in the first quarter of the season, but then quickly faded in the second quarter as their numerous injuries started to catch up with them. The were hit with a huge blow when team leader Evan Longoria went down with a hamstring injury, and have obviously not been the same team offensively or defensively ever since. Then Matt Joyce—the team's second-biggest run producer—hit the DL nearly three weeks before the All-Star break, weakening the offense to an even worse situation.
At the end of the day, the Rays aren't exactly too thrilled with where they're at in the standings at the midseason point, but they have to be pretty satisfied with their position considering the fact that they currently stand only a half-game out of a playoff spot.
There's still plenty of regular season ahead of us, and if anybody can make a second-half turnaround, it's the Rays.
Let's take a look at some surprises, disappointments, numbers and team awards from the first half.

Sorry, I know this is an oft-repeated subject around here, but I have a question about this problem again! I developed a plugged duct today that I noticed while pumping. I didn't really have anything I could use to help clear it other than the pump at school, but when I got home I nursed the baby a lot then I jumped in the shower.
I massaged the area a ton and really got it flowing again. Some small, hard white bits came out now and then so I really felt like I made a lot of progress. Afterward I pumped some more just to try and get it really empty, then I did some other things for a while. I noticed that it was hard again just recently! So I don't understand, did I NOT get it unclogged even though my breast felt super soft after all the pumping and massaging? Anyone have any advice other than the usual techniques? I feel like I can never get this duct(s) completely unplugged and it just keeps flaring up over and over.

Duct Cleaning in Punta Gorda
Homeowners generally never see their ductwork, so they rarely think about having their ducts cleaned, but having them cleaned is essential to your home's indoor air quality and your health. Ducts should be cleaned regularly to prevent any build-up of allergens, microorganisms and other irritants that can attach to ducts only to be blown in to the air you breathe. Baker & Sons Air Conditioning offers its certified technicians for expert duct cleaning in Punta Gorda. If you need any type of AC Service, repair or installation please contact us 941-227-0676.
What is Duct Cleaning?
Open access to all of your home's doors, and HVAC ports and vents is essential to duct cleaning. In addition to having all major vents vacuumed with industrial strength duct cleaning machines, your ductwork should be inspected. Trained duct cleaning specialists like those at Baker & Sons know to look for mold or excess debris buildup, and they know how to investigate the source and eliminate it and then sanitize the entire duct system.
The Duct System
The duct system in your home is the heart and soul of cool clean air distribution. It controls the air that you breathe and can be the cause of illness especially to those that are subject to breathing disorders or allergies. The system may also emit odors that can affect the smell in your living areas. Specially designed, state of the art, tools are utilized to clean ducts as well as searching for and detecting area that may be allowing your duct work to leak and thereby reduce its delivery of fresh cool air.
Duct Problem Signs
If your ducts are emitting strange odors, foreign particles that can be seen coming out of the AC register, not pushing out cool fresh air or the most telltale sign your energy bills are climbing for no apparent reason, contact Baker & Sons Air Conditioning today for inspections and duct cleaning in Punta Gorda. If you need any type of AC Service, repair or installation or just a free no obligation estimate please contact us 941-227-0676.

Scott Walker to seek $25 million for venture capital investment
Madison - Gov. Scott Walker is setting aside $25 million in his two-year budget bill to boost venture capital investment in the state, but isn't putting forward a plan for how such a program would work.
The amount of money the governor is recommending and the lack of details provided differ dramatically from his $400 million venture capital proposal in 2011. That effort failed after getting bogged down by political disagreements and the use of out-of-state investment managers with questionable track records. »Read Full Article(72)

Iams Issues Major Recall After Dog and Cat Deaths
They've been dying in the Iams labs, and now they're dying in people's homes. After an unknown number of cats and dogs died of kidney failure from eating tainted pet food, Menu Foods, which is a contract manufacturer for Proctor & Gamble's Iams and Eukanuba brands, has recalled 60 million cans of pet food from stores nationwide. As a result, Proctor & Gamble has announced a major recall of certain types of its food throughout the country. You can learn more about the story here.
Proctor & Gamble is no stranger to killing dogs: They've been doing it efficiently and professionally for years, and they've developed numerous ways of getting the job done, such as cutting out huge chunks of muscle from their test subjects' legs and leaving them to suffer for days before they die—as our investigation into Iams a couple of years ago discovered. Now, of course, boycotting Iams has taken on a whole new meaning since the company has shown
itself to be a real danger not just to the animals who suffer and die in silence (quite literally—dogs in Iams labs have been debarked so as not to bother the technicians with their cries for help) in Proctor & Gamble laboratories, but to the millions of households that feed their animals Iams food. You can find a list of pet-food companies that don't test on animals here, and I'll be sure to keep you updated when I get more information about this story.
Commenting is closed.
Ive been using Iams dry cat food dor quite some time. Recently my cat got very sick. AbOUT $800.00 LATER MY CAT IS RECOVERING SLOWLY….I recently decided to look at recalls and number on the cat food bags and there it is upc and #s match bags of cat food. Can you tell me why food was left on walmart or Petco shelves? Im going to go looking for a reimbursment of vet bills. I was also told that my cat will more then likely get lymphoma from constant inflammation….can they really get away with this. How can you keep bad products on the shelf….
I am late to the game here, but I have a cat diagnosed with renal disease back in 2007. He used to eat the Iams kibble. I can't help but think there was something in there that damaged his kidneys. He's been stable until recently, but he is doing OK for now.
This is really a sad story. People don't realize that proper nutrition is just as important for animals as it is for humans. Giving animals the wrong kind of food can lead to all kinds of health problems. This has apparently been the case with Iams.
I have lost a dog and two cats to liver and kidney problems I have spent almost $8000 dollars in vet bills. Also the pain I suffered frm loosing my best friends. Is there any law suit r class action going on?
Does anyone know if and how they can receive compensation for the loss of my pure breed? He died from kidney failure vomited lost hair skin turned black. At the end he lost 16 pounds and was bleeding out of his nose.
I purchased Iams mini chunks dog food a month ago and feed it to my dog we have had for the past 2 12 years. We have been feeding him Iams to our do the entire time of his life. The do is still alive. This new bag we started him has been making him throw up immediately after he eats it and now he has wet stool. I am not going to feed him this food anymore and I am calling Iams tomorrow.
My dog got sick from the proactive minichucks green bag. Throwing up for 2 daysand bad diarrhea. Can't believe such a well known company would do such a horrorable thing.Thank you to the people who really care about there pets and posted it on this site. I will never buy anymore of their products again.Hope its not too late for my dog…
I purchased IAMS Proactive Minichunks Green Bag 5 Days ago. I purchased this because they were out of my regular brand and I had heard of IAMS and it is at the Vets so I trusted it. How wrong I was 5 days in a row by dog is throwing up. I have stopped as of today realizing it must be the dog food. I did not think that these companies would sell food that could poison my pet.. still after all the recalls. However I found another post on another site where their dog got sick after eating the same product. Something is seriously wrong with IAMS. I am filing a complaint with IAMs and to my state Consumer Complaint. SHAME IN IAMS!
worlds 1 pet food wysong.net
omg! i couldnt believe this!! people buy iams as it says its the best for looking after your pet. people who buy iams are obviously animal lovers so how could they test their products on these poor animals and then knowily sell their products to animal lovers… they must of know this was going to come back around and bite them on the arse!
I feed my cats "IAMS Weight Hariball Control Proactive Health" Dry food and one of my cats had renal failure and recently passed away. I don't know what is to blame but that is the food she was eating. I have heard recalls on wet in the past but have not heard that the dry was involved in any recalls. If you have seen any recalls please post a link. I am concerned because I have another cat that I feed the same food to as I have for the past 5+ years.
Has any one else fed a cat "IAMS WEIGHT CONTROL PROACTIVE HEALTH" DRY 10LB BAG and the cat had renal failure?
thanks for this info I will deffiantly stop feeding my cat this product of food from now on
My dog is very sick and I'm wondering if it's from Iams Weight Control Proactive Health which we gave her for the first time last night. She has thrown up a lot but also is stumbling and falling as if she's drunk or had a stroke or something. Wondering if it's related to the food…? Any help?
i was one of the lucky ? ones.My pup and gusy are still with us. We feed them special food for their kidneys and have them checked regularly.Although they will never be curedfrom these murdersIAMSthey are still alive.I want this company to pay how can i help how do convict othersand not iams? they are murders gone free!!!! please let me know how to help them not get away with this!!! sincerely denise
It's been just over a year now. My baby Blue developed renal failure a week after buying him new Iams cat food…the same week the recalls came out. The vet gave him only a 20 chance to live. Today we received the results of his latest blood work and he is finally back into normal kidney levels. $4000 dollars a years worth of medicines prescription food and fluids under his skin is what it took to save my baby from what was supposedly a good brand of pet food. My vet no longer recommends Iams to anyone who comes to her office.
This is so sad what they are doing to theae inicent creatures.
My English Springer Spaniel lost all of the hair on his back while he was on an Iams Lamb and Rice diet. Following testing for glandular problems which came back clean I changed him to a holistic food diet. I also fed him Flax Oil Caplets and a dietary supplement rich in Omegas. Two months have now passed and a full coat of shining hair now adorns my dog's back once again. Iams does not live up to its supposed reputation as a supplier of top nutrition for our canine friends. We must make the best decisions on their behalf and I will therefore never buy Iams again.
My dog died yesterday of complete liver failure. Was on Iams Weight contol food for the last few months. Vet said he had never seen anything like this?? Paddy was all I had left in the world. What will I do now?
My two best friends died within two days of each other the 2nd week in January 2007. Both died of renal failure within 48hrs of the first symptoms. It began with weakness in the hindquarters stumbling and falling then excessive thirst and then vomiting. I had just opened a new bag of IAMs weight control and suspected the food. No recalls had begun at this time. My vet assumed that they got into antifreeze because of my location in the Adirondack Park. I am not convinced that it was not the food.
I just don't understand why they would be doing some kind of weird testing. It doesn't make sense. I love animals so very much but I'm also questioning why their name is being dragged through the mud. Maybe there are other motives by another company to gain business.
Why isn't these horrible IAM experiments top news in the media. I am furious!! What can I do to help expose these monsters?
I'm writting about animal abuse for my school paper thank you PETA

November 1, 2012 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — In describing the antithetical fate of Sullivan County rivals Liberty and Sullivan West with regard to their respective Section 9 Class C football semifinal playoff games, what better words can be found than those of Charles Dickens: "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times." This is the opening cadence to "A Tale of Two Cities." By dint of Liberty's stupendous 35-18 win over Millbrook at Dietz Stadium, the 7-2 Indians advance to the title game on November 3 in Middletown to play defending champion James I. O'Neill.
On a far more somber note, Sullivan West lost to O'Neill 39-14. The Bulldogs were sullied by the Raiders' aerial bombardment with their season abruptly ended at 6-3. Much had been written about a potential title encounter between Liberty and Sullivan West, two teams with plenty of unfinished business at least from Liberty's vantage point, not to mention scores to settle from last year and this. But the neighboring bragging rights will now have to wait until basketball season's "Revelry and Rivalry."
As for football, though, Rudyard Kipling said it best: "Oh, east is east and west is west and never the twain shall meet." Sullivan West failed in its bid to reach the title game for the first time since capturing its third straight crown in 2006 and it was clear from the outset that the Bulldogs' prime defensive agenda of stopping Section 9 rushing leader Jerry Nasi in his tracks was a bit one-sided after O'Neill junior QB Keegan West unleashed a 75-yard TD strike to junior wideout Malik Chambers on the Raiders' first possession. By day's end, the game's Offensive MVP would uncork five lethal missiles, four of which zeroed in on a wide-open Chambers, as O'Neill built a 39-0 lead over Sullivan West. The normally prolific Bulldogs failed to muster any consistent offense prior to garnering two TDs in the game's final five minutes. Those shut-out-saving tallies came on a lengthy run by Richard Shevak and a two-yard reception from Cody Franskevicz. Sawyer Erlwein ran it in for the two-point conversion, but the final scoring flurry did little to alleviate the heartache of having the season ended so abruptly. It was the swan song for seniors Erlwein, Brad Hemmer, Joe Schroeder, Scott Erdman, Scott Herberty and Tyler Bernitt. The details of Sullivan West's denouement can be found on www.sportsinsightsny.com [1], while the accompanying photo album is housed at www.sportsinsights.smugmug.com [2] for all to see.
Since losing 21-0 to O'Neill on September 14, a game in which the Indians trailed by a single score heading into the fourth quarter, Liberty has torn off six straight wins from its 1-2 start, including league thrashings of Burke, Dover and Onteora. Liberty led 21-18 at the half as Millbrook had closed the gap with an 88-yard aerial strike from QB Jonathan Crane to Joe Daley just before the break. But a kickoff recovery by Offensive MVP Atwoun Ackerley would give the Indians a chance to set the tone as Quinn Jackson hit Ryan Henry on a 22-yard strike over the middle for the 28-18 lead. Millbrook never entered the red zone again. Henry rushed for 99 yards on 13 carries and caught two TD passes. He was five for five on PATS. Liberty allowed Nasi to rush for 257 yards and three TDs in their early season encounter, but Liberty will no doubt go to school on the videotaped air show deployed in the win over SW.
At the OCIAA Cross-Country Championships at Bear Mountain on October 26, Eldred's Alex Campanella (15:59.56), Sullivan County's top finisher, came in eighth. Sullivan West's Reed Scott (16:23.24) was 15th. Tri-Valley's Autumn Bender (18:58.42) was 12th as the top lady from Sullivan County. Tri-Valley's girls were sixth overall out of the 18 contending schools. The Section 9 Championships will be staged at Bear Mountain on November 2.
In the Section 9 boys soccer playoffs, Sullivan West lost its opening round game to Onteora 5-0, while Liberty fell to Spackenkill 2-1. Fallsburg downed Tuxedo 1-0 in OT. In girls soccer playoff games, Sullivan West fell to O'Neill 6-1, while the Monticello Lady Panthers lost to Red Hook 8-0. Eldred defeated Webutuck 1-0.

Bug Wars: Spider Attacks Grasshopper and Disappears Down Black HoleThis week I have renamed Sam (NHM's media producer for Nature Lab) Spider-Man! He's been out and about carefully sticking a mechanic's device into spider homes, so visitors to our Spider Pavilion can get a view into spider lives, like never before.
Funnel web spider, family Agelenidae
Why you may ask? It's all in an effort to offer something new and interesting to Spider Pavilion visitors, and to test out ideas we have for media content in our upcoming Nature Lab exhibit. So Sam has been trekking around hillsides in the Santa Monica Mountains trying to find inhabited funnel webs.

Where did I ever do that?
He's underrated if you really believe he's the weakest Hokage.
2nd hokage is pretty much the weakest out of all the hokages
Not really, Tsunade is. And Danzo was a weaker hokage.

Prove it. Because we do know he was the second-best in the Senju Clan, the best clan, and was second only to Hashirama (who's more powerful than the current Five Kage combined),
Fukin OONOKI
Sakura is extremely underrated, and for a legit reason.
<-----------that guy
Minato is freaking overrated
Shikamaru, oonoki, Hashirama, Tobirama, Shino, danzo, gaara, DSM Kabuto (no edo) tenten and ramen guy :D

This ^ sasori, kimimaro and hiruzen are all underrated (tobirama too but we havent seen anything)
Apparently Hiruzen was the strongest shinobi was titled God of shinobi
Deidara, Sasori, Orochimaru, Kakashi(can't believe i'm listing him) , Hiruzen,
All I can think of right now
1. kakashi is so underrated even from his fans although he is so strong and has strongest and fastest attack which no one can counter it ,4 releases,rasingan,the mist, creator of raiki,has a great defense as he can go in and out from the other dimension avoiding any attack even the dust,the meteor,giant biju doma,he is so smart , fast and he is the copy ninja
and they still put him out of top 10
2.muu is so underrated too ,i see people put him weaker than jiraya ,oro,A although he has so strong attack(the dust)he can split himself,fly.disappear
3.kisami is underrated although he is stronger than all sanin and he must be in top 17

This is the box of eight Christmas crackers that each pop open to reveal one of eight plastic whistles tuned to individual notes for playing along to a traditional holiday song as an ensemble. Renowned as an English Christmas tradition since their invention in 1847, each cracker makes a safe, festive "pop" when pulled apart at either end by two celebrants, revealing one of the whistles, including other traditional items such as a paper hat, joke, and trivia question. Each whistle comes with a numbered card that corresponds to a numbered, sequenced part to be "tooted" along with one of 21 Christmas carols, including favorites such as Jingle Bells, Good King Wenceslas, and Deck The Halls.

We had great fun with these after Christmas meal! We've "popped" crackers after our Christmas meal for a number of years, but mixing in the orchestra crackers this year added a new level of entertainment. The whistles were sturdy and surprisingly tuned well enough that the audience actually knew what the songs were. The crowns have musical notes printed on them vs. being the usual plain colors, a nice touch lending immediate credence to orchestra members. :)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

We have used party crackers for our Thanksgiving dessert table for decades and they are mostly the same...cheap little toy, joke and trivia question. We all wear the crowns during our dessert and reading the jokes. These were so much fun! We picked a conductor, all lined up and videoed the 'concert'! It was so much fun and I would definitely buy these again!

These Christmas crackers were a lot of fun to use because each one contains a unique whistle, and when played together you can create well known Christmas songs as a mini "orchestra". This set also comes with a conductors baton which made the entire experience musical & fun.

Some fans would be fine with certain television shows going on forever. There is a relationship that is built between the audience and the characters that can evolve into a strong emotional bond.
However, there are times when things must come to an end.
A few shows have managed to go out gracefully while they were still relatively popular. Others have limped along before they were mercifully put to death by the network.
People measure a great finish in different ways. Some look at the number or percentage of viewers. Others look for resolution, or in some cases more ambiguity.
For most, a finale must be something that people talk about the following day and remember into the future. If this is going to be the end, then it had better be good. With that in mind, here are five of the greatest TV series finales of all time ...
No. 5: "M*A*S*H" - Feb. 28, 1983
Was "M*A*S*H" a comedy or a drama? Some people split the difference and call it a "dramedy" because it made people laugh and it also touched their heart at times.
This show portrayed a rag-tag group of doctors and nurses who are trying to deal with the realities of war in an army hospital. Coming after 11 seasons -- eight years longer than the Korean War itself -- the two-and-a-half-hour episode first aired on CBS on Feb. 28, 1983.
The final episode was arguably a bit sappy and at times drew out the long, tearful good-byes that accompanied the end of the war. However, the show had been on for a long time, so it was probably fitting that it pay tribute to itself.
Fans made "Good-bye, Farewell and Amen" the most-watched show in television history with more than 100 million people tuning in -- a record that stood until Super Bowl XLIV in February 2010.
After watching a show like that, some people may have needed to stop by their favorite bar for one last drink ...
No. 4: "Cheers" - May 20, 1993
The show "Cheers" provided people with a warm, friendly atmosphere and lots of good laughs.
Certainly there were moments of drama, but as with other situation comedies, they were quickly resolved in 30 minutes. It was easy to like the cast of the show, and the audience could almost feel as though they had a seat at the bar during each episode.
"Cheers" bowed out after 270 episodes and 11 seasons on May 20, 1993, with more than 80 million viewers tuning in for the 93-minute "One for the Road."
The last hurrah for the "Cheers" gang was similar to a lot of finales, where the main characters must decide if life will change or if it will continue on as it has always been.
Fans enjoyed this episode because it included a time for sitting around, reminiscing, and philosophizing about what life is all about.
People can relate to this sort of scene, but can they imagine waking up from a dream and realizing that a show might never have happened?
No. 3: "Newhart" - May 21, 1990
Bob Newhart is a comedy legend and he actually had two successful shows, one in the 1970s and one in the 1980s. The 1980s show was simply called "Newhart," where Bob plays Dick Loudon, a Vermont innkeeper.
The show allowed Newhart to play the straight man surrounded by a community of oddball characters, including Larry, Darryl, and Darryl, three backwoods brothers who lived in a shack and were always introduced by Larry with the unforgettable line "Hi, I'm Larry, this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl."
After eight seasons, "Newhart" came to a close on May 21, 1990, in a series finale known for its memorable final scene.

Cornersville-Blythe News, August 1, 2012
By Martha Hardy
Greetings from our corner of the world. All is well on Hardy Hill; we're just looking forward to that cold front the weatherman has been telling us is coming. By the time this hits the news it will be August and, as we know, the weather will begin to cool down soon after.
I have another reason to welcome the month of August: it's the month school starts. As much
as I love my son I also enjoy the tranquil, peaceful, quiet days of fall.
Cornersville had another burial this week, as former resident Wayne Greer passed away on
July 24. Services were Friday July 27, at United Funeral Home in New Albany with interment
at Cornersville Cemetary. He was a member of Cornersville Baptist Church and had lived in the
community when he was young. Our condolences to the family.
I spoke with Annie McCallen this week and she tells me that Ebenezer Methodist Church has a new pastor: Dr. Eugene Stockstill. The church held their annual homecoming last Sunday.
Annie also tells me that Dr. Jennifer Lowery, who is a eneral Practitioner, is doing really
well in her new practice. She is in her office 7-5, Monday through Thursday, and 7-12 on Friday.
The youth from Salem Baptist Church had a great time last week at Geyser Falls Water
Park in Chocktaw.
Nellie Dawson recently enjoyed a visit from our sister-in-law, Cora Castleberry, along with Cora's
sister, Sally Anne Blount, from Banner. They brought Nellie some vegetables from their garden.
Other recent vsitors in Nellie's home were our friend from our youth, Mary Mansel Nails, who lives
in Memphis, Tenn. I went over to visit with them and Mary had brought some snapshots from our
school days. We've been enjoying looking at them and taking a trip down memory lane.
Brandon Crane tells me of a trip he had earlier this summer. He went with a group of West
Union Attendance Center students to a Cross Country Runners camp at Brevard, N.C.
They not only ran but attended meetings with many athletes and received helpful information.
The camp was located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, and the trails were sometimes
a challenge, as they were steep and in dense forests. However, the many streams and
waterfalls afforded the runners some relief.
One waterfall in particular sloped down into a pool and made for a fun waterslide, even though in the
early morning it was freezing cold.
On the last day of the trip they ran to the top of a 900-foot bluff. The view from there was spectacular. He says the experience was great fun and he is looking forward to doing it again next year.
Happy belated birthday to Henry Jarrett and Jim Castleberry. Henry's was July 23, and Jim's on July 22 For my own safety will not reveal their ags.
Now here is a quote for you from Helen Steiner Rice: "If we send no ships out, no ships will come in, and unless there is a contest nobody can win, for games cannot be won unless they are played and prayers cannot be answered unless they are prayed."

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?

- Title
- Conservation of immune responses to proteins isolated by preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis from the outer membrane of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae
- Author(s)
- Kyd, J. M.; Taylor, D.; Cripps, A. W.
- Abstract
- Outer membrane proteins P2, P4, and P6 and two with molecular masses of 26 and 28 kDa have been purified from a strain of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae by a preparative form of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Outer membrane protein P6, with a molecular mass of 16 kDa (determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate [SDS]-PAGE) was purified by both native PAGE and SDS-PAGE from three strains of nontypeable H. influenzae and one strain of type b H. influenzae. The same conditions were required for purification from each strain. The suitability of proteins isolated by these methods was assessed by studying the immune response of rats immunized with P6 in incomplete Freund's adjuvant into the Peyer's patches. P6 purified by either native PAGE or SDS-PAGE did not differ significantly from P6 purified by gel filtration and anion-exchange chromatography in the ability to enhance pulmonary clearance of live bacteria. This study also investigated the effects of SDS on P2 immunological responses in vivo and the effects of the reagents Zwittergent and sodium lauryl sarcosinate on outer membrane protein lymphocyte-proliferative responses in vitro. It was found that the presence of SDS in the immunization emulsion enhanced the antigen-specific cell- mediated response but suppressed the antigen-specific antibody responses. The presence of residual traces of Zwittergent in an outer membrane protein preparation inhibited antigen-specific cell-mediated proliferation, whereas extraction of outer membrane proteins with sodium lauryl sarcosinate did not inhibit antigen-specific proliferation. These results demonstrate that preparative PAGE is a suitable method for the purification of proteins from the outer membrane of H. influenzae required for investigation of their immunological significance as vaccine candidates and that traces of reagents used during protein purification may play an important role in determining the success of in vivo and in vitro studies.

A picture shows place mats which were presented to Britain's Queen Elizabeth II when she sat in on a Cabinet meeting inside 10 Downing Street in central London Tuesday.
Updated at 12:25 p.m. ET: Queen Elizabeth II sat in on a U.K. Cabinet meeting for the first time in her reign Tuesday, after an invitation from ministers wanting to present her with a gift celebrating her 60 years on the throne, a Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said.
Wearing a royal blue dress and diamond brooch, the queen was met at her car by Prime Minister David Cameron outside his official residence, 10 Downing Street.
She met with members of the Cabinet in a side room and then took a seat between Cameron and Foreign Secretary William Hague to observe the weekly meeting.
PhotoBlog: Queen breaks with centuries-old tradition and sits in on UK Cabinet meeting
While she was there, the Cabinet presented the queen with 60 place mats in honor of her six decades on the throne, the palace said.
An historic first as Queen Elizabeth attends a cabinet meeting at 10 Downing Street as part of her diamond jubilee celebrations. NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.
"We think the last time the monarch attended the Cabinet was in 1781 during the American War of Independence," Cameron said at the start of the meeting, according to video footage.
Diamond Jubilee celebrations: Queen 'touched' by 'happy atmosphere'
The queen, whose duties are mostly ceremonial, spoke twice during the meeting, Downing Street told NBCNews.com.
Born third in line to the throne, she never expected to ascend to it, but a twist of fate led to her becoming Queen Elizabeth II at a young age. Now the woman who once famously said she would have enjoyed a quiet life in the country is celebrating a six-decade reign. NBC's Meredith Vieira reports and speaks with Charles Anson, the queen's former press secretary.
Once to encourage ministers not to make her annual queen's speech -- when she reads the government's plans for the year -- too long and then again to wish everyone a "happy Christmas."
Slice of Antarctica named after her
Since she assumed the throne in 1952, the queen has sat through the terms of 12 prime ministers.
Also on Tuesday, the U.K. announced that the southern part of the British Antarctic Territory had been named Queen Elizabeth Land in honor of her 60 years on the throne.
The area in Antarctica is almost twice the size of the U.K., according to the government.
"The British Antarctic Territory is a unique and important member of the network of 14 U.K. Overseas Territories," Hague said on the U.K. Foreign Office website. "To be able to recognize the U.K.'s commitment to Antarctica with a permanent association with Her Majesty is a great honor."
Her Majesty celebrates 60 years on the throne.

Hi everyone,
DD had about half a tablespoon of hummus today with some bread, and then right after she woke up from her nap (about an hour and a half later), spat up just a tiny bit--maybe two teaspoon's worth. I'm pretty sure she's had hummus before, but maybe not such a large quantity.
She's eleven months old and has been eating solids without any problems for months now. The only other time she's had this reaction is when she once ate too much cheese. I was just wandering what the spitting up means and what I should do about it. Is it a minor allergic reaction? Is her stomach saying it can't handle the ingredients and that I shouldn't offer hummus again for...a month...or longer?

Who Lies More, Men or Women?on February 9, 2011 at 11:34 am
Posted In: Comic
I did a survey of 100 women and asked them the question, "who lies more, men or women?" 4% or women said "men cheat more", 3% of women said that "women cheat more". 93% of women said "you've read 'The Game' haven't you? Fuck off you pathetic cunt." I had sex with 0% of the women surveyed, but I masturbated over three of them. I would have surveyed more women, but I had approach anxiety. I expect to survey more women after I get my inner game handled.

Vt. man denies killing young boy
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION A Hartford man denied a charge of second-degree murder Thursday in the death of a 2-year-old boy more than a year ago.
A prosecutor said an autopsy revealed the boy, who died in his sleep July 4, 2013, may have been punched in the stomach with brass knuckles.
Luke Theriault, 31, pleaded not guilty Thursday in White River Junction criminal court. He was ordered held without bail and returned to the Springfield prison until a weight-of-evidence hearing within 10 days.
Court records state that Theriault was living with Kayleigh Munyon and her son Jamaal Jayden Turkvan in July 2013, but he was not the boys father. Police said Theriault has three children of his own living in the area.
Investigators said family members were initially led to believe that Jamaals death might have been the result of a playground incident a few days before when he was hit in the head with a ball.
But medical examiners saw indications that the boy had been brutally beaten, police said, and detectives started what would become a yearlong investigation.
They said Theriault and Munyon were the only people in their apartment in the Hartford village of Wilder with the boy in the 24-hour period before the boys body was discovered.
Deputy States Attorney David Cahill told Judge Karen Carroll at Theriaults arraignment Thursday that a series of indentations on the boys abdomen, and damage to internal organs, led medical examiner Dr. Jennie Duval to conclude he died from multiple extremely forceful blows.
Duval characterized the injuries as exceptional beyond even what would be seen for a victim of a bicycle or automobile accident, the prosecutor said.
Cahill told the judge that investigators said those marks and internal injuries could have been caused by brass knuckles, and Theriaults cellphone contained a photo of Theriault with brass knuckles.
Hartford Police Detective Michael Tkac wrote in his affidavit that police and paramedics responding to a 911 call at the apartment on Bugbee Street in Wilder and finding Jamaal dead.
The responders were told the boy was not feeling well the previous day, and slept most of the day and barely ate.
The medical team tried to perform CPR and rushed Jamaal to the hospital, Tkac wrote, but there were indications that he may have been dead for some time.
A neighbor told police she believed the victim, Jamaal, was afraid of Theriault because Jamaal cowered like he was scared when she saw him with Theriault, the affidavit said.
After the hearing, Alisia Peach said that a decade ago when she was a teenager she had a two-year-long relationship with Theriault and a daughter with him. She said she was shocked but not surprised by the murder charge.
