Romney changes his tuneOctober 28,2012AP PHOTO
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney answers a question during the third presidential debate at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla.Unless we have a replay of the Florida/U.S. Supreme Court-tainted 2000 presidential election (may God forbid!) this will be my last column before we know the outcome of the Nov. 6 election. Like many of you I am sure, I will feel a certain sense of relief that it is over. But in these waning days of the campaign I continue to firmly believe that this will be an election of real consequence for this country and for the world.
By now, this past weeks presidential debate on foreign policy will have been as closely analyzed by the media pundits as the Delphic oracle once examined animal entrails to make prophesies some 3,000 years ago in ancient Greece. There is no record of how accurate her record was, but it cant be any worse than for most of us pundits. That said, having spent a lifetime reporting international affairs, I feel compelled to look at that last presidential debate and its potential impact on future American foreign policy.
Like many people, I was astonished to discover during the debate that Gov. Mitt Romney had had a conversion seemingly as profound as that experienced by Paul on the road to Damascus. After only the previous week, charging that Obamas foreign policy was unraveling before our very eyes, this is how the new Mitt Romney presented himself on key American foreign policy concerns.
On Afghanistan: Having opposed what he ridiculed as Obamas political timetable for American withdrawal of combat forces by the end of 2014 which he said the Taliban would simply wait out on Monday evening Romney unconditionally endorsed Obamas deadline. And having once berated the president for prematurely withdrawing the U.S. troops who were part of the surge of forces initiated by Obama, Romney praised the surge as a success.
On Iran: After having repeatedly criticized Obama for not issuing a credible military threat to keep Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, Romney said American efforts should be through peaceful and diplomatic means. He admitted Obamas sanctions were indeed working and called war a last resort. (War) is something that one would only consider if all other avenues had been tried to their full extent. This seems to imply that he approves of direct talks between the U.S. and Iran, which he had previously denounced.
On Syria: In his foreign policy address at the Virginia Military Institute in early October, Romney argued for deeper American involvement, particularly in the form of supplying, directly or indirectly, heavy weapons for the rebels. He mentioned tanks, helicopters and fighter jets. Monday night he conceded Obamas concern that such weapons not fall into the wrong hands. He also pledged not to get the U.S. militarily involved in Syria.
On Egypt: Mr. Romney had been highly critical of the Obama decision to drop long time American ally President Hosni Mubarak in the face of the massive anti-Mubarak demonstrations in Cairos Tahrir Square. But on debate night, Romney said he too would have called for Mubarak to step down.
On the escalated American use of unmanned drones to kill terrorists wherever they may be, which is controversial even among some Obama supporters, Romney said he supported the program entirely. Just to make sure he had touched all bases, Mr. Romney, more or less congratulated the president for getting rid of Osama bin Laden.
Finally, in reference to the turmoil of the Middle East, Romney said, We cant kill our way out of this mess. He then went on to list things such as diplomacy, economic assistance, education and support for democratic institutions, as ways America should pursue its goals in the Middle East. And in case we didnt get the message, he mentioned at least half a dozen times that his goal for American foreign policy was peace.
It was absolutely breathtaking. Here was a man I had repeatedly criticized for his hard line foreign affairs positions, saying virtually everything I wanted to hear. It suggested a better understanding of the complexities of the issues than I ever gave him credit for. It indicated an open mind for negotiations with adversaries even with the Iranians which we are going to have to have if we are to avoid another Middle East over Irans nuclear ambitions. So what is wrong with this picture?
As I was watching so many channels and hearing so many commentators after the debate, I do not remember who suggested this, but one analyst said, Its as though Senator George McGovern had changed his anti-Vietnam War position two weeks before the 1972 election.
Just imagine: McGovern with President Richard Nixon before millions of American television viewers. McGovern says, Mr. President. I think you are absolutely right about Vietnam. The Vietnamese communist leaders cant be trusted to negotiate a real peace. America has too much invested in this war, and we cant afford to lose it. So I support you in your efforts to achieve total victory.
Whatever one thinks of George McGovern, who died at the age of 90 on the day of the last Obama-Romney debate, the very idea that he would ever have done such a thing seems preposterous. McGovern was a principled man, who wanted the war to end, and though he lost in a landslide in 1972, most Americans would soon come to agree with him.
And yet when Mitt Romney jettisons virtually his entire foreign policy in one night, the mainstream media hardly bats an eye. Hes just pivoting they say. But overseas, friend and foe will see Romneys cynical pretext of moderation for what it is unvarnished political expediency. And I can imagine leaders in China, Russia, Iran, Syria, Israel or even Canada, asking their advisers, how will we deal with an American leader who seems to hold no convictions whatsoever? That uncertainty, should Romney be elected, is most likely to lead to significantly greater international tensions than we face today.

text: DD is 4.5mos old and weighs about 13lbs. I have been back to work part time for about 3 weeks now. I am away from DD for about 11 hours two days a week. She has been refusing most bottles, but this week she finally started to accept them a little. I nurse her in the morning right before I leave, then pump three times at work, and nurse her again as soon as I pick her up from my parents. This week she has been drinking about three, two ounce bottles while I am at work. The problem is that I am pumping about 20oz during that same time . She obviously normally consumes more than 6oz when we are together nursing, but I doubt she is taking 20oz. We have been battling OS/OALD all along, and I thought we were doing better through block feedings. She acts comfortable while nursing, has stopped spitting up for the most part, and no longer has green poops. I am afraid though, that by pumping this much, I may eventually worsen the problem again. I am considering dropping one pumping session, or simply limiting the amount I pump at each session so I am collecting only 1 to 1.5oz/per hour while I am at work. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you handle it ? Also, when I nursed DS I had multiple problems with clogged ducts. I am constantly paranoid I will have problems with these again if I limit pumping.

Eastern New Mexico University officials are toiling to prop up student enrollment, which dipped by 10 percent last May, but sprung back, according to ENMU President Steven Gamble.
"Because we have been recruiting hard and contacting students, we are doing much better, and are now down 2.5 percent," Gamble said during a Friday meeting of the ENMU Board of Regents.
A cloud still hangs over the university, as state funding is tethered to enrollment. Public colleges and universities in New Mexico lose a portion of their state appropriated money if their enrollment drops by 5 percent.
For now, ENMU has distanced itself far enough from that measure to hold onto its funding, said an optimistic Gamble. But state measures of enrollment are complex.
The number of semester credit hours taught at universities and colleges is factored in the state funding formula, whereas head count isn't, Gamble said.
So, ENMU officials have focused on ways to up semester credit hours. Even that can be difficult, with so much tied to funding.
The university enticed students with customized programs, such as a graduate reading class held last summer. Although the class generated many students, it was dropped because of a lack of funding.
Also at Friday's meeting:
• Board members approved an inducement agreement with Sovereign Bank, which is issuing a letter of credit covering seven years for ENMU's housing project. It assures investors the project is financially feasible.
"The bank is willing to do a seven-year letter of credit on the main campus because we're a four-year institution and they are comfortable with our housing situation," said Scott Smart, vice president of business affairs.
• The board of regents approved the 2007-2008 budget for restricted and non-restricted funds.
The budget estimates tuition will increase by 3 percent and enrollment will stay flat. Funding from the state of New Mexico is projected to increase $800,000 as a result of formula workload and $881,000 for compensation.

The singer-songwriter—still going strong nearly 60 years after his first hit—discusses his craft, explains why he'll never retire and recalls how a bizjet helped him fill a concert request from Vladimir Putin. Singer/songwriter Paul Anka admits that he may have been the unlikeliest of pop stars when he burst onto the musical stage in the 1950s. "I was short, stocky, had a big nose and was far from the mold of the matinee-idol type," says the artist, who turned 74 in July. But what he may have lacked in looks, he made up in talent.

A lot of clubs from here and abroad find the away ties hard on them and their fans because of the expense, however they are glad to be in the competition at the time.
I believe getting to the semi final stage gives you as much right as any team to expect a truly neutral venue. Maybe Wire and the RFL were afraid that the fans from Warrington would not travel any further than Widnes.
The RFL like stadiums to look full when on national TV. Maybe they reaslised that the chances of a catalan victory were slim,and therefore wanted a reasonable sized stadium to look quite full and realised that widnes was their best option?

- 6-5 Team USA
What a game. What a game. Just like, wow. It was like a playoff game, full of so much emotion and nail-biting. It was really a back-and-forth game. I didn't watch it, and I didn't even listen to it. But this morning I read the articles, watched the highlights. What a great victory for the United States!
Ted Lilly started the game for USA and gave up three runs in 3.1 innings. Padres' closer Heath Bell gave up a run, as did Jonathan Broxton. The other four relievers did not give up a run or a hit. Kevin Youkilis hit a solo homer.
But the most exciting part, of course, was the bottom of the 9th. Yesterday, Jane Heller asked us on her blog if we liked blowouts or pitcher's duels better. I wasn't really sure, because I love both, but I think I got my answer with this game. I love these tight games where both teams keep chasing each other. One team gets a couple runs, the next team scores three, the first team ties it, the second team get another, the first team gets three to go ahead, and on and on and on. I love those games where it comes down to the bottom of the ninth, to do-or-die. And I love it when my Padres are able to come out on top, with a walk-off come-from-behind win. Oh man, that's my favorite.
Last night's game was very much like that. The score was 5-3 Puerto Rico going into the bottom of the ninth. Not impossible for this team of All-Stars to come back from. Here's how it went down: Shane Victorino and Brian Roberts singled, followed by a walk to Jimmy Rollins. Kevin Youkilis walked in a run to bring USA that much closer. Then David Wright came to the plate.
With a count of 2-1, he hit a ball down the right field line, driving in two to win the game. His teammates jumped on him near second base (I really hope Jake wasn't in that pile!!!). Watching the video of that walk-off hit just gave me chills. I LOVE walk-offs! It was so neat to hear Matt Vasgersian call the hit. How many times have I heard him call those walk-offs for the Padres, with his trademark, "Santa Maria!"? It was great to hear Matty V. again, obviously enjoying his new job.
What a great victory! There weren't that many people in the stands, but the energy in that 9th inning felt so much like a playoff game. And so, the USA rolls on. But Jake needs to come back!!!! Also, Korea defeated Japan 4-1 last night at Petco Park. Very cool. I'm sure Hyun Young is excited :)
- 12-7 Angels
Alright, I'm changing topics to the Padres-Angels game yesterday. Nastiness! Our pitching is absolutely miserable!! Josh Geer, six runs on nine hits in 3.2 innings. Scott Patterson, three runs on three hits in 0.2 innings. Justin Hampson, three runs on four hits in one inning. Greg Burke, Ivan Nova, Chris Britton, and Mark Worrell were able to throw scoreless innings. Ah man, it's bad. Our pitching is really bad.
But we are hitting. Jody Gerut hit his first homer of the spring, a two-run shot. Kouz and Chase Headley each drove in a run. Kyle Blanks had two hits. Chris Burke had a two-run single. Chris Snelling drove in a run. We hit very well. I was pleased. At one point we came from behind to take a 7-6 lead. Of course, it was quickly given up by the pitching staff, but at least we were able to get up on top. I'm telling you, our hitting cannot keep up with our pitching. They give up runs all through the game, and our hitters just can't kept up. From Saturday, March 7th to yesterday's game, our pitching staff has given up 85 runs. That's ten games. ACK!!!!
The Padres wore their green caps in honor of St. Patrick's Day yesterday. It didn't exactly match the navy blue uniforms, but it was cool. Broadcaster Andy Masur was commenting on the fact that it looked like Christmas in the stands, with all the Angels fans and green for the holiday.
After the game the Padres made a few roster moves. Wade LeBlanc was sent to Triple-A. Mike Ekstrom, Cesar Carrillo, and Travis Denker were also moved to Triple-A. Chris Britton, Matt Buschmann, Pete Ciofrone, Mitch Canham, and Cedric Hunter were sent to minor league camp. LeBlanc was considered a candidate for the rotation, but he needs a lot more time. He struggled as a starter when he came up near the end of last year, and he did not do well this spring either. The Britton move was kind of suprising. Sure, he wasn't doing great, but the Padres were looking at him as an 8th inning set-up guy. But it was not to be. Chris has been told that he will not make the team out of Spring Training. That's kind of sad, but these moves need to be made.
And now, the worst news of the week (even worse that the Padres' pitching problems): TREVOR IS HURT!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Panic!!!!!! Well, it's not that bad, but he's an old dude. He needs to be very careful with himself. He has a Grade 1 (the least serious) strain of his right oblique muscle, sustained the day after his outing on Friday. The thing with Trevor is that he doesn't pitch that much, and even when he does, it's just one quick inning. As a result, he has to keep in shape while he's not pitching. This is going to be tough for him, but hopefully he will be able to rebound with no further damage. AHHHH!!!! We need you healthy for your last year as a Padre in 2010, Trevor!!! Get well soon!!!!
Today we are playing the Rangers again in Peoria. Cesar Ramos will pitch three innings, followed by Walter Silva for two. Let's see how many runs our pitching will give up today!

First of all, get well wishes to Trevor. If I had a balloon I'd send it! As for Chris Britton, he never made it with the Yankees. He was back and forth on the shuttle between the majors and minors so many times I hope he got frequent flier miles. So I'm sorry he's not making the Padres either. He has to be very disappointed.
Britton just doesn't have the velocity the Pads would like. Sanchez might be that guy…might…if he can show he's regained velocity and that he can remain healthy. I'm really interested to see Ramos today. With LeBlanc's demotion and Geer's struggles, the opening is there if Ramos can capitalize. Should he pitch well, he may take the lead for that 5th spot. I'm pulling for him, because you're right…our pitching has been miserable!
That was an AWESOME walk-off. I can add that to the list of reasons why I love David Wright. 🙂 And Trevor needs to get well soon. Not only for your happiness, but my fantasy team needs him! He can take his time as long as he's ready by Opening Day. 🙂
Thanks for your comments! I think my normal reaction would have come from you, not watching it and all. However something was telling me to and I am glad I did.
I hope Trevor feels better! And I'm with you – I like a nice, tight game. Yes, the blood pressure goes up but boy, nothing beats it!
thanks for the congratulations. being featured does wonders for your page views. haha
That was a great game last night.
Have you ever seen Trevor's little kid fielding pop flies in batting practice? He's better than most of the players, and he's 8. He personally robbed me of about 3 balls by catching them before they bounced off the warning track and into the stands.
Oh man! Poor Trevor😦 I really hope he gets better quickly. Kaybee, deeeeep breaths. You'll get through this. Speaking of Padres, our pitching staff is pretty much terrible right now. I'm serious. It just doesn't seem right. Looks like they are giving 85%, not a 100. But I'm glad both USA and Korea won🙂 I miss Matty now. I hope he's having a great time! As always, GO PADRES!!http://hyunyoung.mlblogs.com
That USA game was awesome! I hope they make it to the finals!
Trevor does need to take care of himself; maybe he should call Jamie Moyer for some tips from the Over 40 Club :O) I have no clue how these guys still do this!
JANE, thank you for thinking of Trevor! yeah, I feel bad for Britton, but the Padres are giving him a chance to go somewhere else if he so chooses to.
FRIARFAN, our pitching is so bad. I think Ramos still makes a case for the rotation spot, but I'd really like to see Silva in there as well.
JEN, definitely a great game! Get better Trevor!!!
AARON, yeah, I would have loved to watch it, but I don't have any way to do so!
JULIA, yeah, getting a little freaked out, sweating a little, but I love it!
JON, yep🙂
ERIK, I've never seen Trevor's kids on the field before the game, but I've seen them out there afterwards. Figures that they are good baseball players😉
HYUN YOUNG, the Padres are going through a lot of problems, but hopefully we will get better!
JENN, seriously! It's pretty incredible!

More Fast Times at 'Fast Money' High
Originally published on Tuesday, Oct. 9 at 1:21 p.m. EDT.
Brad Hamilton (Judge Reinhold) : Why don't you get a job, Spicoli?
Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn) : What for?
Brad Hamilton : You need money.
Jeff Spicoli : All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.
-- Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Here is what I discussed on CNBC's "Fast Money Halftime Report" a few minutes ago.
I was asked by Judge what's up with Apple (AAPL) .
I explained that the stock had market issues, technical issues and company-specific issues.
Market Issues : Just when everyone got comfortable that the disconnect between weakening fundamentals and improving stock prices would continue -- in part based on the silly notion that the performance chase would buoy stocks and in part based on the blind belief that the global monetary easing put would trump the challenge to earnings -- investors became concerned as stock prices began to decline. Last week, despite the market's rally, breadth was poor and volume virtually nonexistent, except when provided by high-frequency traders who filled the volume gap a bit with their own financial weapons of mass destruction (those damn algorithms!).
Technical Issues : When Apple's shares sat at $700 a few weeks ago, up by nearly 70% for the year and vulnerable to profit-taking, it became an institutional source of funds.
Company-Specific Issues : In broad terms, innovation has a history of impacting every tech market. Ultimately, it results in product homogeneity and in the fullness of time degradation of profitability. Meanwhile, concerns have cropped up specifically at Apple. Its first-mover advantage seems to have narrowed or is in jeopardy, owing to supply chain issues and product quality issues. (Remember these factors become ever more problematic as the size of the company rises so dramatically.)

We all know that Sun started to utilize Intel Pentium III in its entry-level servers years ago and we know that now this company uses Intel Xeon CPUs in dozens of its systems as well. Well, we also have recently learnt that soon Sun will start using Intel's Xeon MP processors in its 4-way server systems.
Sun has been saying that it only needs IA32 chips for lower-cost servers that are in demand nowadays, but 4-way systems are definitely not low-cost at all, but also in relatively nice demand, as a result, it looks like Sun has changed its initial IA32 strategy to offer more expensive solutions. Sun's adoption of Intel Xeon MP platform means that this company may eventually introduce more expensive systems based on Intel's technology.
Probably, wide-adoption of IA chips leads to gradual phasing out Sun's proprietary processors, what is quite logical in current market condition; for instance, HP already announced its plans to cancel it PA-RISC family of chips in future. In case Sun decides to drop proprietary CPU development, the company will deploy servers based on currently hated Intel Itanium processor for different market segments, what will probably become the announcement of the decade.
And what about AMD Opteron and Sun servers?

Night fishing for browns?
I picked up a copy of the August-September issue of Fly Fisherman magazine. I dont usually do this, but the cover picture caught my eye .it was about fishing for browns at night. I love catching browns and the bigger the better. After reading the article, I was all pumped up about going .until I mentioned it to my wife. She flipped her lid about me going fishing at night for safety reasons. I can understand that, and there are certainly some precautions to take (like going with a buddy, wearing a life vest, going to familiar waters, etc.). I let her know that I would be safe about it (and I was being honest).
So, my questions to the board are:
Does anyone around here fish for trout at night (besides the bait chuckers)? Any tips youd like to share? Would it be worth my while to go, say at the Clinch? Im picturing myself throwing pretty big streamers out there would this be productive? Has anyone been crazy enough to float a tailwater on a moonlit night? Im assuming that summer would be the best season to try it fair to say? Are there any safety precautions to take (outside of what I mentioned previously)?
TN Jed
Night fishing...
Some years back when I first started writing I got into night fly fishing on rivers. It's a lot of fun, but like most other fishing, success was good some times, and average other times. I did it a lot on the Chucky where I knew the shoals quite well. My experience on tailwater rivers is nil.
Rivers become different places in the dark. Shoals will sometimes crowd with enormous soft shell turtles and things you did not know frequent waters you thought you know will surprise you. It can be a bit spooky at times.
We once lost our way out of the Chucky and ended tramping through a head-high corn field for a couple of hours until we saw car lights that enabled us to find a road. We arrived home about 3:00 am to families that were about ready to kill us. Caught some nice fish though, which made it an accepatable pennance.
I read an article online that was very in depth and thorough about fly fishing at night. It covered a lot of the "safety" issues and things you should and should not do. One thing I remembered reading was about a certain color headlamp/flashlight color so you would not spook the fish.
I have never fly fished at dark but have fished plenty bass tourneys and fished for crappie at night. I think it would be pretty fun and interesting fly fishing at night. I will try to find that article again.
My boss is from Michegan and he has told me a number of times about how common it was up there to fish Browns at night. He said you get there and familiarize yourself early and then pretty much stay stationary after you pick your lie or run or whatever. He said that he has had big Browns slap the water within reach and splash him! Apparently another reason for being stationary besides the obvious is that its a popular sport up there and there are quite a few anglers on the river for certain hatches so you "stake" your territory before dark and stay with it until you wade in and start fishing.
One thing that stuck with me on those stories was the way he said some of the larger Brown tail slapped and it would sound like a Beaver. He said they would make you jump!
<(((>< In tribute to Ben, Duck Hunter extraordinaire, and man's best friend.
TN Jed I have went night fishing for large trout numerous times. I have done a little in Michigan and the rest on a spring creek near my home. It is interesting and as posted the trout stream becomes a different place at night. Sometimes a little eerie and spooky.
In my experience it has been a hit or miss deal. I have only stayed out for a few hours and not past 1:00 AM. I think everyone should try it.
I still remember one night I made my first cast and thought I cast too far and got snagged on the far bank. As I tried to pull my line free I noticed it moving to my left. As the fact hit me I was into a large trout there was a commotion on the surface and my leader snapped.
I had best luck with unweighted sculpin patterns, large unweighted wooley buggers and similar flies. I have not had much success with mouse patterns. I like something that goes just beneath the surface so it makes a wake when retrieved. Best of luck and be certain and post a reply if you go.
Don't let people talk you out of it or scare you away...
Browns are sensitive to light and are able to see and feed more efficiently in times of low light or even better, at night. It can be an extremely productive way to fish for them. Find a familiar stretch of water that you know holds fish and focus on that to start with. Play it safe and you should be fine until you become more experienced. I'm partial to topwater flies just because it adds to the excitement and there is no mistaking a strike. Take a good 7wt or 8wt with you to help chuck BIG flies and hold on...
Tight Lines,
I recall a few years back that Brett Romer (Fishermansfly) did a night float on the SoHo during a full moonlit night, and think he posted about it here. The results were quite fantastic. Maybe try doing a search on here for night fishing and see what you get.

& take a leather glove with you to unhook the bat's, don't ask how i know this
Did an all night float a few years ago on the Caney. There are some creepy sounds out there at night... Caught a few fish...streamers with big heads that push a lot of water are what worked. Make sure you really know the water you will be fishing whether floating or wading for obvious safety reasons. Most of the fish you catch will be nice fish...

To all:
Thanks so much for the input! Y'all have provided a lot of info, and I appreciate y'all taking the time to do so. The first step for me is to go to LRO and get an 8 wt. rod that's been on my wish list for awhile. I figure on 'up-sizing' my leaders and tippet too. I'm really looking forward to it, hopefully catching a nice fish or two will be a bonus to seeing (or hearing) the river come to life at night. There's a spot on the Clinch that I'm familiar with and that's where I'm going to try this out. It may be a little while before I can make the trip, but I will provide a report when I do. And Grumpy, if I hook a bat, I'm just going to cut the line and run! Thanks again y'all!

Public packs gym for and against gas pipelineBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | May 08,2014Bruce Edwards/Staff Photo
Opponents and supporters of a natural gas pipeline crowded the gym at the Shoreham elementary school Wednesday night for a Public Service Board hearing.SHOREHAM - Opponents and supporters of a proposed natural gas pipeline packed the gym Wednesday night at the elementary school here for a Public Service Board hearing on the second phase of the project that would connect the International Paper mill across Lake Champlain.
One after the other, opponents of the Addison Rutland Natural Gas Project — many wearing "Stop the Fracked Gas Pipeline" stickers — stepped to the microphone to denounce the Vermont Gas Systems plan. They recited a litany of objections, much of it focused on what they said were the environmental ramifications of a project that relies on fracked gas from Alberta.
They argued the fossil fuel project will only exacerbate the problem of global warming and has the potential to pollute Lake Champlain.
Jane Palmer of Monkton, whose small organic farm is threatened by the pipeline, took the PSB to task for failing to abide by the wishes of Vermonters to reject the first phase of the pipeline. Palmer said the Addison County Regional Planning Commission ignored its own regional plan in voting to approve Phase II of the project by a 15-11 vote. And she said, although Monkton residents rejected the pipeline in a Town Meeting Day vote, two of the affirmative votes for the pipeline came from the town's representatives to the regional commission.
"So what's the use," Palmer asked. "Why bother writing a town plan or a regional plan if it can be disregarded."
"I guess democracy can be bought after all," she said.
George Klohck of Middlebury expressed concern that the those in a decision-making capacity are not listening to the people.
"First is the rush to run a pipe through our beautiful valley and under our precious lake," said Klohck, a Methodist minister. "Who is listening to the desperation of those whose lives are being torn apart by the threat of a pipeline driven across their land, close to their homes, through their farms, crushing their hopes and dreams, leaving them with a nightmare."
Salisbury resident Barrie Bailey told the board the closest natural gas pipeline to the mill is actually north of the plant through the Adirondacks. Yet, she said the IP plant can't connect to that pipeline because the Adirondacks are "considered too pristine" by New York officials. "So what is Vermont's environment and land," Bailey said. "Are we chopped liver?"
Other opponents also raised concerns that drilling under Lake Champlain could disturb a sludge pool at the plant, the release of which they said would cause serious damage to the lake that separates the two states.
But supporters showed up as well, defending the environmental and safety record of International Paper. Although the second phase of the pipeline would only serve the small towns of Shoreham and Cornwall, the primary customer would be the mill in Ticonderoga, N.Y.
Supporters made their case telling the audience and the three-member PSB that the IP plant with its 600 workers is not only critical to the economy of the North Country but important to Vermont as well. The plant employs Vermont residents and buys goods and services from Vermont businesses, including loggers.
The VGS project is being proposed in three phases. The first phase extending the pipeline south from Colchester to Middlebury received PSB approval in December. The second phase, now under review, would extend the pipeline west from Middlebury under Lake Champlain to the IP plant. The third phase would further extend the line south to parts of Rutland County, including Brandon, Pittsford and Rutland City.
Because IP is paying VGS $62 million of the $64 million construction cost to switch over to natural gas, it will allows VGS to use that money to extend the pipeline to Rutland 15 years earlier than anticipated.
Supporters Wednesday included economic development officials from Ticonderoga and Essex County, N.Y., an IP union representative, and a few from Vermont, including Thomas Donahue, CEO of the Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce and Jim Stewart of Omya Inc., which has a calcium carbonate plant in Pittsford.
Donahue said the pipeline is important for job growth and will also mean significant energy savings for residents.
"Make no mistake, we not only support this entire project but believe strongly it is a critical investment for the future of our local economies and in turn the economic prosperity of our residents," Donahue said.
The project was also supported by Shoreham resident Steve Jackson. "I'm in favor of reducing our dependence on foreign oil," Jackson said.
The PSB will hold a second hearing June 12 in Middlebury.

Kauai poliolice have identified the 77-year-old Oregon man who died following a two-car collision in Kapa'a as Alva Jackson from Portland.
Jackson was a passenger in a Chevy HHR that was struck while attempting to make a U-turn from the northbound shoulder of Kuhio Highway, fronting the Kaiakea fire station. A Ford truck, heading north, collided with the driver's side of the Chevy as it entered the northbound lane.
Jackson's 71-year-old wife, who was driving at the time of the collision, had to be extricated from the crushed vehicle by police and firefighters.
Medics transported her to Wilcox Hospital with head injuries where she remains in good condition.
The Kauai Visitors Bureau is working with Life's Bridges, a volunteer grief counseling service, to provide assistance to Jackson's family.
The driver of the Ford truck did not report any injuries.
The incident occurred shortly before 2 p.m. and caused police to close Kuhio Highway in both directions, between Kawaihau Road and Mailihuna Road, causing a traffic snarl for afternoon commuters. Northbound traffic was diverted onto Kawaihau Road while southbound traffic was diverted onto Mailihuna Road during the roughly two-hour closure.
Kuhio Highway was reopened just before 5 p.m. on Wednesday.

Overarching goal and guiding principle: To simplify, clarify, and unify the ECPA standards, providing stronger privacy protections for communications and associated data in response to changes in technology and new services and usage patterns, while preserving the legal tools necessary for government agencies to enforce the laws, respond to emergency circumstances and protect the public.
These principles would not change, and are subject to, the current definitions, exceptions, immunities and permissions in ECPA.
- A governmental entity may require an entity covered by ECPA (a provider of wire or electronic communication service or a provider of remote computing service) to disclose communications that are not readily accessible to the public only with a search warrant issued based on a showing of probable cause, regardless of the age of the communications, the means or status of their storage or the provider's access to or use of the communications in its normal business operations.
- A governmental entity may access, or may require a covered entity to provide, prospectively or retrospectively, location information regarding a mobile communications device only with a warrant issued based on a showing of probable cause.
- A governmental entity may access, or may require a covered entity to provide, prospectively or in real time, dialed number information, email to and from information or other data currently covered by the authority for pen registers and trap and trace devices only after judicial review and a court finding that the governmental entity has made a showing at least as strong as the showing under 2703(d).
- Where the Stored Communications Act authorizes a subpoena to acquire information, a governmental entity may use such subpoenas only for information related to a specified account(s) or individual(s). All non-particularized requests must be subject to judicial approval.

The Flood of 1993 Reveals Fossils
In 1993 floodwaters covered 23 million acres of land in the upper Midwest for weeks. Iowa was in the center of it. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, this flood caused more damage and cost more money than any other flood in U.S. history.
Floodwaters Uncover Fossils
The city of Coralville is named for the fossil corals easily seen at the Coralville Lake spillway. Disc and half-ball shaped corals are packed together in large colonies. Individual horn-shaped corals are also visible. During the flood water flowed over the emergency spillway at the lake for 28 days. The floodwaters ripped out a road and campground. They also washed away sediments 15 feet deep. When the flooding was over, a large flat stretch of bedrock filled with other types of fossils had been uncovered.
Iowa's Ancient Seabed
About 375 million years ago, a warm tropical seaway covered Iowa. The newly uncovered limestone gives visitors a picture of this former ocean floor.
Most of the fossils are clam-like shells. There are also many crinoids (ancient animals related to starfish). Although it is more common to find pieces of crinoid stems, some were buried intact. Their stems, heads and arms appear as they would have in life. It is easy to see how they got the nickname "sea lilies."
Other fossil finds include:
- Small "moss animals" that lived in colonies. These fossils appear lacy or like small twigs.
- Delicate sponges and more massive sponge-like creatures.
- Pillbug-like scavengers called trilobites that crawled across the sea bottom.
- Tracks and burrows of soft-bodied creatures that tunneled through the sediments.
Primitive fish also swam through the waters. Their fossils are rare, but bones and teeth have been found at the spillway. Part of a large bony head-plate of an armored fish was found. It is on display at the Corps of Engineers' Visitor Center in Coralville. This creature, a predatory giant of its time, reached lengths of 8 to 10 feet.
While the flood of 1993 caused great damage, it also had an unexpected positive effect. The uncovered bedrock at Coralville Lake is a rare chance to see broad horizontal layers of former seabed. These surfaces provide a chance to study fossils that can reveal mysteries of the past.

|Chris Mortika RPG Superstar 2010 Top 16
Hey, folks.
I've offered to run "Severing Ties" as a play-by-post, and got over a dozen characters requesting to play.
I can pick seven and send the other five packing, but it would be better if someone else was willing to pick up the remaining PCs and run them, either through "Severing Ties" or any other PFS scenario.
They would be a moderately-balanced party of six (wizard, 2 very different fighters, cleric of Sarenrae, magus, and a barbarian).
Anybody interested?
Let me have a think on this as I am considering running Scarlet Sun in 2 weeks. Don't want to bog myself down.
|Chris Mortika RPG Superstar 2010 Top 16
I've applied for it... Hoping you say yes for me playing. Then its moot.
Ok - I PM'ed Chris but I may as well just 'man up'
I'll run either 'We Be Goblins' or 'Master of the Fallen Fortress' for the guys who don't make the cut.
Let me boogie on over and make the offer.

The Llano Estacado Metropolitan Community Church on Fourth Street has been vandalized twice in the last two weeks, according to church officials and police. (Staff photo: Eric Kluth)
By Tonya Garner: CNJ staff writer
Boarded up windows and remnants of spray paint mar the facade of the Llano Estacado Metropolitan Community Church.
Located on Fourth Street in downtown Clovis, the church has been vandalized twice in the last two weeks, according to church officials and police. Church members fear their lifestyle has attracted the destruction.
Christopher George serves as pastor for the nondenominational church whose members are primarily gay, lesbian, transgendered or bisexual. The church previously called Portales home, but moved to its present location in April due to a lack of space in its previous building.
George said members of the congregation are scared, saddened and angered by the recent events.
George said he addressed the emotions of the congregation during his sermon Sunday morning by letting them know he was also experiencing negative emotions due to the vandalism. George said he preached a message of love and urged the congregation not to have any hate in their hearts.
"I told my congregation that we would act in love rather than react in hate," he said.
George said he believes the church was targeted by "teenagers on a rampage" but fears the congregation's makeup was at the root of the vandalism.
No other buildings in the area were vandalized, he said.
Clovis police on Thursday found two broken windows located to the east and west of the front door of the building. The east window was broken by a dirt clod while the west window was damaged by the cover of a water meter, according to a police report.
The police report also noted the previous damage caused by graffiti two weeks previously. According to the report, derogatory words aimed at homosexuals were spray painted across the front of the building. The responding officer also reported burglary was not the motive since no entry to the building was attempted.
Tino Cordova, ordained deacon, said church officials are assuming the damage was done by children or teens because words were misspelled. Cordova also said there were several anti-gay symbols spray painted that only kids would use.
Although the actual slur words that were painted are no longer legible, there are still faint outlines apparent on the building even after numerous cleanings.
"We tried to clean it up," Cordova said. "But we had to send our banner in for repair since it is missing letters now."
According to the police report, there are no suspects in the incident.
Cordova said the church is having a security camera installed.
"I won't pastor a church that is hiding behind boards and barbed wire," George said.
Cordova said the congregation does not want to be known as "the gay church." He said everyone from all backgrounds including different religions is welcome.
The pastor and the deacon said the acts of vandalism won't deter them.
"We are staying in Clovis," George said.
"We are just a little old Christian church," Cordova said. "We are not here to harm anyone."

Upper Neck Manipulation: Caveats for Patients and Providers
Chiropractors often deny that neck manipulation can be a primary cause of stroke by injuring vertebral arteries. But according to Jean-Yves Maigne, M.D., head of the Department of Physical Medicine at the Hôtel-Dieu Hospital in Paris, France:
It is now a well established fact that cervical thrust manipulation can harm the vertebral artery. This accident was formerly regarded as very rare, although severe, and related to atherosclerosis. Clinical tests were proposed to detect patients at risk. The problem is now better known. It is no longer attributed to atherosclerosis…but to a dissection of a vertebral artery, a clinical entity observed in younger patients (20-45 years). It remains very rare, but mild symptoms appear to be not so infrequent. Finally, the predicting tests seem to be deprived of any value.1
In 1997, the French Society of Orthopaedic and Osteopathic Manual Medicine (SOFMMOO), following presentations by anatomists, neurologists, radiologists, and practitioners in the field of French Manual Medicine, adopted the neck-manipulation proposals made by Dr. Maigne.1 "Acknowledging the fact that prevention is out of reach," said Dr. Maigne, "the aim of these recommendations is to reduce the number of (not to say to suppress) rotational cervical thrust manipulations in a targeted population. This population consists mainly in females of less than 50 years old. Five recommendations were developed, in addition to classic contraindications of spinal manipulative therapy."
The recommendations of the SOFMMOO, dealing with cervical manipulation in general and allowing the use of neck manipulation in special cases, are worth considering since they were reviewed by medical specialists in different disciplines and approved by licensed practitioners who use manual therapy, long before the stroke-neck-manipulation furor reached its peak in the United States.

text: Update: I got DD to take the sippy cup about a month ago. She uses the Gerber NUK sippy cup that is designed for transition from BFing to cup or from bottle to cup. It's the only cup I've seen with a soft spout and worked really well for her. It only took a few days to get her used to it. After I saw her drink juice from it I knew she was just being stubborn about the milk. There was a little crying involved, but not too much.

- Variable sampling interval Hotelling's T2 chart with sampling at fixed times
- Author(s)
- Lee, M. H.
- Abstract
- This study applies a sampling at fixed time feature to the variable sampling interval (VSI) Hotelling's T2 chart for rational subgroups. This control chart is called variable sampling interval with sampling at fixed times (VSIFT) control chart, in which the modification allows one to take additional samples between two fixed equally spaced time points when there is some indication of process mean shift for the multivariate process. From a practical viewpoint, the VSIFT control chart is easier to administer than the adaptive sampling interval control charts, i.e. VSI, variable sample size and sampling interval (VSSI), and variable parameters control charts. Numerical comparisons show that the VSIFT Hotelling's T2 chart performs better than the VSI, variable sample size, VSSI, variable parameters, and variable sample size and control limit Hotelling's T2 charts for detecting moderate and large shifts in the process mean in terms of the steady-state average time to signal.

By Jim Zarroli • May 13, 2013

Such an emotional day for me! I keep trying not to take this all so personal, but I feel like I'm mourning something! PLEASE Please tell me she's not weaning Basically, as I've said in my other posts...she's stopped taking the right breast out of the blue a few days ago and wants NOTHING to do with it. When I offer it, she goes into full meltdown mode of screaming until hyperventilation. And then mommy starts crying...it's so awful to feel rejected and it's awful to feel like I'm in some way hurting her. She's also dropped MORE sessions... So when she does nurse, it's only the left side...and right now we're down to first thing in the morning and bedtime. I can see about 2-3 molars coming in, which is what I believe is causing all this. But will she ever take the right side again?? And will she pick up more sessions?? I *think* what must of happened last week was that she felt pain when nursing on the right side and now it's left a bad memory of some sort to where she won't even allow me to put her anywhere NEAR my right breast.
Anyway, just looking for support and some kind words...I'm emotionally drained over all this. Thank you
