When the season kicks off with first scrimmage games this Friday, it will be the 100th season for both the Kenedy Lions and the Runge Yellow Jackets.
The question of whether or not the 2014 season is the 100th for these teams was posted by a local fan on social media last week, and thanks to the magic of "crowdsourcing" it wasn't long before someone else posted a link to a website that tracks and records the long history of high school football programs across the State of Texas.
According to info at the website lonestarfootball.net, both the Kenedy and Runge High School football programs began in 1915, which makes this year's season the 100th, and next year will mark the 100th anniversaries for both schools' football programs.
The website also shows that Karnes City started their football program seven years later in 1922 and Falls City started with theirs in 1950.
And in case anyone is wondering how that first season went for the Lions and Jackets when it all started in 1915, the website even shows that Kenedy defeated Runge by a score of 34-0 and finished the season, 2-1, also beating Floresville but losing to Cuero.
The Yellow Jackets finished their 1915 season with a 1-2 record, beating Goliad, but losing to Kenedy and Cuero.

- The design of cloud workflow systems

- Abstract
- Cloud computing is the latest market-oriented computing paradigm which brings software design and development into a new era characterized by 'XaaS', i.e. everything as a service. Cloud workflows, as typical software applications in the cloud, are composed of a set of partially ordered cloud software services to achieve specific goals. However, due to the low QoS (quality of service) nature of the cloud environment, the design of workflow systems in the cloud becomes a challenging issue for the delivery of high quality cloud workflow applications. To address such an issue, this book presents a systematic investigation to the three critical aspects for the design of a cloud workflow system, viz. system architecture, system functionality and quality of service. Specifically, the system architecture for a cloud workflow system is designed based on the general four-layer cloud architecture, viz. application layer, platform layer, unified resources layer and fabric layer. The system functionality for a cloud workflow system is designed based on the general workflow reference model but with significant extensions to accommodate software services in the cloud. The support of QoS is critical for the quality of cloud workflow applications. This book presents a generic framework to facilitate a unified design and development process for software components that deliver lifecycle support for different QoS requirements. While the general QoS requirements for cloud workflow applications can have many dimensions, this book mainly focuses on three of the most important ones, viz. performance, reliability and security. In this book, the architecture, functionality and QoS management of our SwinDeW-C prototype cloud workflow system are demonstrated in detail as a case study to evaluate our generic design for cloud workflow systems. To conclude, this book offers a general overview of cloud workflow systems and provides comprehensive introductions to the design of the system architecture, system functionality and QoS management.

They said they would also print any design, including business and club logos, Little League and other athletic teams.

May I suggest you name an animal and add the English onomatopoeia so the outlanders could add the comparative sound-word?

well, actually, I was thinking more about other sounds, not necessarily just animals. things like "boing" or "ding"._________________________

Ehmm.. it ìs important to know what produces or evoques the sound.
Is 'boing' not an interjection? We have a 'boink' and use it when people, specially children, bump their head, or when they drop a heavy object. What does 'ding'?

Understood. Our bells do not go 'ding'. They go 'bim'.
A metal spring ??? I think it would go 'ploing'.

Yes, like in Feuer or deutsches. Goethe is pronounced slightly different. It should be like in Toynbee. (toying- ploing)
Latisha, what does bell do for you? Phonetically? Or Indonesian, Bingly?
I like the English word squeak as onomatopoeia.
A squeaking parquet floor; that's exactly want it does. Squeak ! Horrible.

Gambling on health
It takes a lot more than a village to help people without basic health care coverage

I appreciate your concern for your friend and even though I do not know her would be happy to help in any way I can to help someone that has such staunch supporters as yourself.
Having written that, why is it my responsibility to care for people that CHOOSE not to care for themselves or their family. Taking you neice and your friend out of the equation; the one out of four Californians that are without health care coverage have chosen not to cover themselves and their families. Do these people have televisions, cable/sattellite, cell phones, internet, microwaves, cars etc. These items are not neccessities for life, they are financial choices made by people that expect others to take care of them and their families. The money spent on these luxuries could have funded an insurance policy before they got sick.
Your comment about worshiping at the alter of profit only goes to show that you do not understand the real world and are clouded by the emotions of your pain for your family and friends. If insurance companies did not make a profit they would not/could not employ the millions of people they employ and would not/could not cover the millions of people they do cover. Most people without health care coverage have made the choice not to cover themselves and to spend their money on luxuries like cell phones, automobiles, cable tv, televisions, video games, etc. They thought they would be covered if something happened.
As I said I would be happy to help your friend in any way I can, just let me make that choice don't force everyone to help without or concent as this horrible Obamacare bill will force us to do.
We need to stop asking what can my country do for me and ask what can I do for my country. I will not get onto the rant of those that think "my country" is not the United States of America, yet want a hand-out from us.
Let me know what I can do to help your friend.

All of the words
Any of the words
The exact words(phrase)
Arduino, Cecioni, Pomella, Caratti and Alessandrini
The Italian crew on the Norge:
Ettore Arduino (1890-1928)
Ettore Arduino was born in Verona, Italy. He was a wing lieutenant in the military engineer corps. He became an airship engineer and participated in bombing raids during the war with Austria. He continued at the Factory for aeronautical building after the war.
In 1926 he participated on the Amundsen-Ellsworth-Nobile Transpolar Flight the whole way from Roma – London – Leningrad – Vadsø – Svalbard – Nordpolen – Teller.
He was chief engineer with responsibility for the engines on Umberto Nobile's airship Italia in 1928 and he died when the airship crashed and he disappeared with the envelope after the gondola was torn off on the ice. Just before they disappeared he managed to throw out necessary equipment to the others on the ice. The Aero Club in Verona was dedicated to his memory.
Natale Cecioni (1888-1960)
Chief mechanic on the Norge
Natale Cecioni was born in Vaglia, Italy. He was mechanic on both the Norge and the Italia and he survived the Italia's crash in 1928 despite being thrown out on to the ice and breaking both legs badly.
Vicenzo Pomella (1896-1928)
Vicenzo Pomella was born in St. Elias Fiumerapido, Italy and went to school there. He became a carpenter apprentice at Cocorocchia Angelo, which was a school for developing humane and social qualities. At 13 years of age he moved to one of his nine siblings in Rome where he started work in engineering workshops.
During World War I (1915-18) he was at the Aeronautical Engineers in Torino, where he could attend mechanics courses for airships.
On 9 August 1918 he was one of the crew on Fulco Ruffo di Calabria's and Gabriele D'Annunzio's flight to Vienna, Austria. After that he worked at Stabilimento Costruzioni Aeronautiche di Roma where he was noticed by general Umberto Nobile who wanted him for his squadron.
In 1926 he participated on the airship Norge, and in 1928 on Nobile's expedition with the airship Italia. When this crashed he was thrown out on to the ice and died of severe head injuries. (http://www.comune.santeliafiumerapido.fr.it/index%20citt/aree/Personaggi%20storici/4.Vincenzo%20Pomella/Vincenzo%20Pomella.htm)
Attilio Caratti (1895-1928)
Attilio Caratti was born in Rovato, Italy 6 May 1895. After World War I finished he returned to Rovato. After his father died he worked at the family workshop with his brothers.
In 1926 he participated as mechanic on the airship Norge and in 1928 on the Italia with general Umberto Nobile. He disappeared with the envelope after the gondola was torn off on the ice.
His brother apparently helped to design the airship Norge and his family to finance a memorial by Tina Zucculi in Ny-Ålesund.
Renato Alessandrini (1890-1928)
Alessandrini was a rigger on the airships Norge and Italia and he died when the Italia crashed and he disappeared with the envelope after the gondola was torn off on the ice.
"Victory awaits him, who has everything in order - luck we call it. Defeat is definitely due for him, who has neglected to take the necessary precautions - bad luck we call it"

Buckhannon stretching boarders west
The Upshur County Commission voted unanimously to allow the City of Buckhannon to stretch its borders further west, taking in the property where the new West Virginia Army National Guard Armory Readiness Center is being constructed.
Other property included in the new corporate limits will include some owned by the Upshur County Economic Development Authority and the county commission-controlled Upshur Wellness Center.
The annexation will allow the city to collect a 2 percent Business and Occupations tax on contractors doing the Phase II and Phase III portions of the center's construction. That money will be use to pay back most of the nearly $750,000 of debt the city has incurred with its contribution to an adjoining conference center and the city's Water Department spending about $250,000 to construct a 12-inch water line to the property.
The B&O tax would also be applicable to any future development at the Wellness Center.
It will also allow the city to collect other taxes associated with the use of the conference center, which the Upshur County Convention and Visitors Bureau will be operating. The National Guard will also pay $66 annually to both the police and fire service fees.
The annexation does not take in any private businesses or homeowners.
City treasurer Michael Doss said there are long-term city plans to extend the walking trail from the city to include the newly annexed property in Brushy Fork.
Federal, state and local leaders joined together Oct. 25 to break ground for the new West Virginia National Guard Armory and Readiness Center, just off U.S. Route 33 on Brushy Fork Road. They believe the $13.15 million center will allow for future economic growth in the area.
Officials believe it will take about 24 months to complete the project. The new center will replace the current one along West Virginia Route 20. It will be home to the 601st Engineering Co., the 1935th Contracting Team and the 229th Engineering Detachment.
Officials came together about five years ago to discuss the project when it was learned that the Buckhannon community could lose its armory and the accompanying jobs.
The Upshur County Commission purchased the land and arranged for other financial obligations to be met in an effort to push the project forward.
Omni Architects Associates is designing the new center, and the construction project was awarded to Paramount Builders, a St. Albans company.
Phase II of the project will be completed when the funding is appropriated by Congress.

NOT even a defeat could spoil the carnival atmosphere at Huntington Stadium yesterday.
For despite losing to Hull Kingston Rovers in the Arriva Trains Cup East section, York City Knights proved they are already a force to be reckoned with at National League level.
The buzz around the club continued long after the final hooter in a packed-out stadium bar. Indeed, if there are still any doubters, then the fare served up yesterday - on and off the field - must have helped them catch a bit of Knight fever.
An incredible ding-dong match - the lead changed hands seven times - played out in front of full, noisy stands showed that rugby league was back in York with a bang louder than the fireworks that greeted the players.
The crowd figure was given at 3,105 people through the turnstiles, but unofficial estimates suggest anything up to 3,500 were packed into the stadium. Rovers, as usual, brought their fair share but the massive majority was behind the blues of the Minster city, and what a racket they made.
If only the Knights could have won. They didn't because of a careless first ten minutes of the second half and a tired last ten, though some controversial refereeing also had a part to play as Rovers ran in three late tries to turn a two-point deficit into a win.
Nevertheless, with Rovers expected to be a major force in National League One and among the favourites for the Arriva Trains Cup, there can't be too many complaints.
The Robins lost only 10-0 in a friendly against Super League giants Hull last week, while York's preparations were hit by the cancellation of their two pre-season friendlies.
That rustiness contributed to some of the home errors, but if they can be ironed out and if the players can gel just that bit more, then the only way is up.
As it was, they were still a match for KR despite the division difference, and even Rovers fans must admit the scoreline flattered them. Okay, to suggest the Knights deserved to win might sound biased, but there was never ten points' difference between the teams.
At least York had the privilege of scoring the first-ever points in a Knights match, Graeme Hallas booting a penalty following early pressure.
Visiting scrum-half Craig Murdock equalised from Rovers' first foray into home territory, and it was the lively number seven who was to score the day's first try after selling a clever dummy.
York bounced back, though, and after Chris Smith's break, Aussie number seven Trevor Krause - what a find he could prove to be - kicked through on the last tackle for Alex Godfrey to get the touchdown, Hallas converting.
It was fitting the Knights' first-ever try should be scored by a local boy, and the fact it was against his former club made it that much sweeter for the winger.
In fact, each one of the Knights' tries were scored by former Humberside men, with Callaghan and Scott Yeaman - among six ex-Rovers players in the side - and Smith, latterly of Hull, getting the others as the match continued to ebb and flow.
Rovers retook the lead when Murdock's grubber kick was touched down by Jimmy Walker - who got a punch from Godfrey as a reward.
But back again came York as Mark Cain's long punt on the first tackle after the scrum - a ploy straight from the training paddock - saw Godfrey exploit the space in behind.
The wingman beat the cover to the ball and was hauled down after kicking on, but Castleford referee Steve Presley gave nothing and, after the ball was switched right, he penalised Damien Kennedy for a double-movement as he stretched for the line.
Nonetheless, York were back in front soon after as Cain - another Rovers old boy - kicked through for old mate Callaghan to score, the referee taking an age to award the try. Hallas converted.
The Knights led 14-12 at the break and the second half was to be just as thrilling. However, it started poorly for York as Cain then Kennedy knocked on and Rovers capitalised from four consecutive sets of six by crossing twice, through recent capture Craig Poucher and stand-off Walker, to lead 22-14.
The Knights, though, were not going to crumble. Substitute Gareth Lloyd, proving what a danger he can be, made a lung-busting break, David Bolus took it nearer the line, and substitute scrum-half Yeaman jinked over, Hallas converting.
Rovers extended their lead to 24-20 with a penalty and, although Hallas missed with an attempted reply, York yet again came back.
Krause broke down the right, somehow defying three tacklers to stay in touch, and the ball was transferred left where Fletcher burst for the line and passed to Lloyd, who was tackled before the ball arrived.
The culprit, Mark Blanchard, was sin-binned and Rovers were punished further as Smith darted over from acting-half after Kennedy had been held up. Hallas' extras put York 26-24 in front with 13 minutes left.
Would the Knights win a memorable first-ever game? Unfortu-nately there was to be no magical ending as the officials took hold of the wand and waved it in Rovers' direction.
Firstly, Molloy - another former Robin - was sin-binned, apparently for a tackle off the ball, leaving York with 12 men for the remainder.
Then referee Presley deemed Smith offside a yard from his own corner with the ball heading the other way - a decision which was harsh at best - and from the tap Jon Aston barged over.
From the restart Rovers scored a superb length-of-the-field try, speedster Alasdair McLarron leaving the defence for dead and handing over to Craig Farrell to turn on the turbo. However, the furious Knights only had 11 men on at the time as workhorse Richie Hayes had not been allowed to replace the man already off, with McLarron utilising that gap.
Steve Cochran burrowed over in the last minute to seal the victory albeit with a flattering scoreline, but the standing ovation that greeted the Knights at the end said it all.

Anti-Piracy "Mafia" in Finland Raid House, Confiscate Winnie the Pooh Laptop
Jason Mick
November 23, 2012 9:16 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: South Park Studios)
The piracy police made one 9-year-old a very unhappy camper
Word to the kids: don't pirate files or your folks may have their houses raided and your toys seized.
A 9-year-old Finnish girl,
according to
, happened to be very into a particular local pop star named Chisu. So innocently, the 9-year-old went onto Google Inc. (GOOG) ubiquitous search engine. Lo-and-behold, the first result to pop up was
The Pirate Bay
, the world's biggest torrent and magnet-link site, which also happens to have been
launched in neighboring Sweden
The girl tried to install a program to read the torrent files she downloaded, but the downloads all mysteriously failed. Upset, she complained to her father, who took her to the store to purchase the Chisu album -- legally.
But it turns out that the downloads didn't fail. Instead they were malicious trackers, which flagged her home internet protocol (IP) address as an infringer. Working with her ISP, the local
Copyright Information AND Anti-Piracy Centre
(a sister organization to the
Recording Industry Association of America
) sent her father a suspicious letter, demanding a payment of 600€ and to sign a legally binding letter promising not to tell anyone about the payment or the threat.
[Chisu on YouTube]
Her father, confused, did not respond.
That's when local police raided the house in order to "assist" in the investigation. The father in the case recalls thinking that he'd wound up on the bad side of Mafioso or something, commenting, "I got the feeling that there had been people from the Mafia demanding money at the door. We have not done anything wrong with my daughter. If adults do not always know how to use a computer and the web, how can you assume that children or the elderly – or a 9-year-old girl – knows what they are doing at any given time online? This is the pinnacle of absurdity. I can see artists are in a position, but this requires education and information, not resource-consuming lawsuits."
The little pirate paid dearly for her "crime against humanity"; the armed police raiding her house seized her Winnie the Pooh laptop as "evidence" to be used in the case against her father.
There is a silver lining: Chisu, whose music the nine-year-old so-loved that she put her father in legal jeopardy, reached out to the family after hearing the story. She points them to her Spotify, where people can listen to her music for free, commenting, "I hope that the matter will be resolved soon and sorry to my 9-year-old girls."
Finnish police seized a certain little pirate's Winnie the Pooh laptop.
[Image Source: IBTimes]
Joonas Mäkinen of Finland's Pirate Party was outraged at the story. He praises Chisu's response, but complains the big media industry is holding artists hotage, leaving them with few real options to help abused fans. He comments:
It is sad to see how even the big artists have no idea what CIAPC / TTVK is doing in their name. And the worst part is that even after learning about this, like Chisu did just now and took part in the discussion on Facebook, they can't stop it since all copyright protection and monitoring is centralized.
I hope all musicians realize that the fan hunt that involves confiscating laptops and signing deals that require you to be silent about the payments are severely hurting the image of copyright and creators. Authors of works should actively rise up to say NO to what CIAPC/TTVK is doing if they wish to keep their fans.
The Pirate Party has
gained its first seats
in the European Union's Parliament, following public outrage at the Orwellian anti-piracy tactics that have been sweeping the continent.
The CIAPC confirmed, according to
, that the girl was among the pirates targeted by its anti-piracy sting operations.

Animals must eat other living organisms in order to survive including both plants and other animals, as well as having access to water. Animals have adapted to their surroundings and so will make the most of what is there. Camels for example, inhabit dry and baron deserts where there is little water, so they have evolved the ability to store large amounts of water in their bodies.
Although the exact diets of individual animal species are very varied, the diet of animals is usually split into three groups, which are herbivores, omnivores and carnivores.
Typically food chains start with a plant which is known as the producer. The producer in a food chain gains the energy it needs from the sun and is the only link in the food chain which does not consume organic matter. The producer is consumed by a herbivore known as a primary consumer, which is then consumed by the secondary consumer, generally a small, omnivorous animal. The tertiary consumer, usually a smaller carnivore, then eats the small omnivorous mammal. The tertiary consumer is also sometimes eaten by a larger carnivore which would be the quaternary consumer.
Food chains differ from one another all over the world, and are largely dependent on the habitat and the species which live there. Food chains for marine species work in the same way, although the producers in marine food chains are usually small aquatic plants and phytoplankton.

The obscene travesty of homosexual "marriage" is a priority for liberals not only because undermining holy matrimony helps corrode the family, but because it creates a powerful legal weapon to be used against another of the few remaining roadblocks on the road to totalitarianism, the Catholic Church. The state that gave us Barack Hussein Obama shows how it works:
The state has declined to renew its foster care and adoption contracts with Catholic Charities across Illinois, possibly ending a historic partnership initiated by the Roman Catholic Church a half-century ago and potentially severing the relationship between nearly 2,000 foster children and their caseworkers. …
In letters sent last week to Catholic Charities in the dioceses of Peoria, Joliet and Springfield and Catholic Social Services of Southern Illinois, the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services said the state could not accept their signed contracts for the 2012 fiscal year. Each letter said funding was declined because "your agency has made it clear that it does not intend to comply with the Illinois Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Union Act," which the state says requires prospective parents in civil unions to be treated the same as married couples.
That is, the Church is expected to place vulnerable kids in the hands of cohabitating homosexuals. This has entailed children being used as sex toys.
If it's this bad now, imagine the situation after Illinois imposes state-sanctioned homosexual "marriage" as in New York, where Archbishop Timothy Dolan warns that a redefinition of marriage to allow for multiple sex partners is coming next.
Pat Quinn carries on the Illinois tradition of governors who exude slime from every pore:
Quinn, a practicing Catholic, reiterated his support of the civil union law and the state's decision to sever ties with Catholic Charities.
No one who supports the homosexual or abortion agendas is a Catholic in any meaningful sense. To preserve its integrity, the Church has an obligation to excommunicate backstabbing advocates of degeneracy like Nancy Pelosi and Quinn.
Just as the homosexual agenda is destroying Catholic adoption agencies, the abortion agenda can close Catholic hospitals.
The Church has two choices: stand for what's right, in which case Big Government will denounce it as politically incorrect and break its legs with "civil rights" laws shoved through by the militant homosexual and abortion lobbies; or knuckle under and participate in the depravity, in which case it will rot away and deservedly disappear.
It's a win-win situation for liberals. Too bad for the cause of "social justice" that their Soviet forebears didn't think of this line of attack against John Paul II.

The Filibuster
On Thursday, the initial sale of the San Diego Padres to new owner Jeff
Moorad was completed. Knowing that it only took Sandy Alderson and his
equally ignorant chum, Kevin Towers, a few years to extensively
decimate the Padres franchise like Chris Brown did Rihanna's face, how
long will it take Moorad to get the Padres competitive again?
— Jeff
Have you already forgotten about that epic tie-breaker two short seasons ago when the Rockies edged the Padres on their way to a World Series appearance? The fact that San Diego was so close to the playoffs kind of puts the lie to your question and its entire premise. Yes, the Padres should have been more competitive recently and poor decisions were made (which are explained much more eloquently by the Prince of New York over at PaulLebowitz.com) but we're not talking about the Knicks under Isiah Thomas here. This is not a team that's lost for a generation.
It does kind of make you wonder what baseball executives get paid to do, though. Prince's hatred of Alderson and Towers and your open contempt for Mozeliak in St. Louis remind me of some of Bill Simmons' old columns where he rants about the management of the Celtics. However, once they won a championship the volume became a little muted. So, are sports executives really that incompetent or are other forces at work here?
I suppose that like any story, there are two sides to this one. I'm sure most GMs would argue that it's tough to judge their success on winning alone since a large part of that depends on the human element, the players. And meanwhile the fans wonder why their team is going out and signing a guy like Dontrelle Willis to an extension while letting Cameron Maybin get away. And both sides are probably right. For all the statistics and sabrmetrics that exist today, this, like economics, is not an exact science:
But, to get back to your question, I don't know when the Padres will be competitive again. It depends on a lot of factors in addition to just the current management team. It depends on resolving the Peavy situation and like a lot of things nowadays, it probably depends in part on the economy. What I do know, though, is that at least the Padres haven't yet p!ssed off god. Seriously, what is the deal in Detroit?

And when the football season is extended by 2 more games, the Lions will have a chance to set even more records! lol!
Is there any baseball fan (or sports fan in general, I guess), who actually likes their front office? Even if they're actually doing a pretty good job? I'm not saying that this is the case where Alderson and Towers are concerned, but you're right. The Padres aren't sunk for generations to come. They do play in the NL West, after all.
Yeah, I think most people forget that we were right there in 2007 after winning two straight titles. We were good! But then 2008 was really bad. I don't know how long it will take for us to get better, but I think Moorad will make us better. He's done great things for Arizona, and I think he can do the same for the Padres. We will get better…eventually.
Erin, I have no personal animosity toward the Mets front office; Omar Minaya is a guy who it's impossible NOT to like no matter what he does.
Allen, excellent point regarding the duality of points-of-view and about the gamble taken when signing a player—-any player—-to a long term contract. The Padres situation is like a series of trapdoors; they blew their playoff spot in 2007 because of Bud Black's inexperience and glaring late-season gaffes as a manager, and he was only the Padres manager because Alderson ran Bruce Bochy off since he didn't want to pay him and Bochy had his own ideas of how to run his team.
`I only hate Alderson/DePodesta, et al. as much as Michael Corleone hated Hyman Roth or Fredo; it's not personal; it's strictly business.
So you're saying DePodesta is your brother, Prince? Wow. The plot thickens…
I like it, Jeff. DePodesta is Prince's evil twin! As for the Padres, I wouldn't write them off. Not in that division. Opening Day in Detroit is Good Friday? I'm sure there's a ball game on Passover too. What about the Jews!
Paul, excellent points. And I enjoyed reading your posts about the Padres' management and ownership. It seems like one of the issues to me is that management is the public face of a franchise and they tend to take much of the scorn. Often, the ownership is just as at fault. For instance, Matt Millen was a terrible GM but it's almost worse that the Ford's let him stay in that position for so long. "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain."
I think you have it right, though. It's not personal, it's business. But bad business can make things really personal.
I'm the evil one; he's just inept.
Jane, you can write them off. Trust me.
Actually, I've long suspected that my grandfather was involved in some under the table stuff but no one's confirmed it. He was a pool hall owner in the 20s and knew all the big time Jew gangsters, Meyer Lansky, Dutch Schultz, etc.

Aldi gets rave reviews from shoppersAlbert J. Marro / Staff Photo
Cashier Amanda Ley, right, rings out Judy Mangels at the opening of the new Aldi supermarket on South Main Street in Rutland on Thursday.
For Dema Hart of Pittsford, the opening of the Aldi supermarket on South Main Street will save her a trip.
I usually go down to the Aldi in Bennington, said Hart, who was standing in line under sunny skies with a few dozen other shoppers waiting for the grand opening Thursday morning.
Hart said there was one reason why she would make the monthly trek down to Bennington: big savings over other major supermarkets in the area.
She wasnt alone in her praise of Aldi and its low prices and quality.
Its a great store, said Zena Gates, who was waiting with her husband, Robert. Youve got to like the products.
The Mount Holly couple said shopping around for the lowest prices is no small matter either.
Were on a fixed income, Zena Gates said.
Bernie Graham of Rutland routinely travels over to the Aldi in Glens Falls, N.Y. Graham said he hopes with the new competition, Hannaford and Price Chopper may drop some of their prices.
For Aldi, Rutland represents its second store in the state. The Bennington Aldi opened several years ago.
The German-based supermarket chain boasts what it says are unbeatable prices. When switching from name brands to Aldis 1,400 private-label brands, the company said shoppers can save up to 50 percent.
Shortly after a 9 a.m. ribbon cutting, shoppers with carts in hand got their first glimpse of the 18,000-square-foot store.
Instead of the typical supermarket with items individually stacked on shelves, Aldi is a no-frills supermarket more like a warehouse store with cut open boxes of canned vegetables, cereals and paper goods, neatly stacked row after row.
Heres a small sampling of prices: Aldi brand canned corn, 49 cents; fresh celery, $1.29 a bunch; a 5-pound bag of sugar, $2.19; raisin bran, $1.89; milk, $2.89 a gallon; large eggs $1.49 a dozen.
The store also carries fresh meat and produce.
One neatly dressed couple from Middletown Springs said they routinely shop the Aldi in Glens Falls. But they also said while Aldi offers significant savings on many items, the store doesnt carry everything someone would find in a major supermarket.
One item no Aldi in the U.S. carries are tobacco products. As the story goes, the brothers who started Aldi in Germany disagreed on whether tobacco products should be sold, so they divided the company into north and south divisions. The southern division, which includes the U.S., does not sell tobacco products.
The store does, however, sell beer and wine.
The store also does business differently to hold down costs. Shopping carts require a quarter deposit and shoppers are encouraged to bring their own shopping bags. The store sells bags at a nominal cost. Shoppers also bag their own groceries at the checkout.
The store takes cash, debit and EBT cards but does not accept credit cards or checks.
Michael Aschbrenner, Aldi operations director, said Rutland had been in the companys plans for some time.
The one store we have in Bennington, Vt., the customers have given us really positive feedback as to their needs and what we can bring to the community, Aschbrenner said in an interview. So Rutland has been a project of ours for several years.
Although the Rutland area is an older, low- to middle-class community, Aschbrenner said a number of factors went into putting a store here but he said all demographics benefit from shopping at an Aldi.
Aldi has 16 full-time employees and two part-time workers. Aschbrenner said the average pay is $12.25 an hour with full-time workers receiving benefits, including medical, dental, life insurance and a 401(k) plan.
At the ribbon-cutting attended by city, town and Aldi officials, Mayor Christopher Louras made his comments brief.
And Im not going to give a speech, Louras said. I just want you guys inside this building shopping.
The store is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.

text: My son will be 8 months this coming Thursday. I have breastfed exclussively since birth with little to no problem. We introduced cereal at 5 1/2 months and solids at 6 months with meats added at 7 1/2 months (all per the advice and direction of our pedatrician). I am thinking my milk supply is diminishing because when I go to pump I can barely get an ounce out. He is also getting up every night between 130 a.m.-2am and again between 330 am and 4am. From 3 weeks to 5 months he was sleeping 10 hours a night. My pedatrician said that he doesn't need to be nursed in the middle of the night. (He is a healthy boy at over 25 pounds and about 30 inches long.) The doctor says that I should soothe him and let him cry it out. I have tried but he just screams and screams and I cave in and let him nurse. I am heading back to work Tuesday after 8 months maternity leave. I am trying to build up a supply of milk so that he can have a bottle 2-3 times a day while I am at work. His typical feeding schedule is: wake up by 6am - nurse, cereal somewhere around 8am, nurse around 10am (naptime), lunch around noon, nurse again around 2pm (naptime) dinner around 5pm, nurse around 7pm, then off to bed. Then he wakes up twice in the middle of the night. I am trying to pump the opposite side he nurses on after each nursing. I also pump before I go to bed at night. I am getting very little. What can I do? Should I supplement with formula??? Not something I want to do, but will if I must. Looking for any advice. I have heard and read that when you add solids your milk supply can begin to diminish. Has this happened to anyone out there? If so, what did you do???

Arc light
MONTICELLO, NY — Sullivan West junior Matt Cardona loves shooting the three-point shot so much that he spends the lion's share of his spare time beyond the arc working assiduously on its accuracy. Like the character Jimmy Chitwood, based on Milan High School's Bobby Pump in the iconic film "Hoosiers," whose relentless practice paid off in the historic 1954 Indiana State Championship win over Muncie Central, Cardona's hard work yielded big dividends in Sullivan West's momentous come-from-behind 58-50 road win against Monticello in the December 16 Jingle Ball Classic, a home-opener fundraiser for the Monticello Toy Drive that netted upward of $250.
Smiles were in no short supply for the Bulldogs, after the startling victory. Cardona hit an uncanny five treys in the fourth quarter as he poured in 18 of the Westies' 29 points in the period. Back in the day when tiny Milan (enrollment 162) defeated the much larger Muncie Central with its 1,662 students by the score of 32-30 in the David versus Goliath Indiana state title game, there was no such thing as a three-point shot as Plump nailed the final bucket in the storied win. Class B Sullivan West, with its enrollment of 334, is less than half the size of Class A Monticello (819). Upset victories always raise the pulse and this one had hearts a-thumping. By night's end, the soft-spoken Cardona had posted a game-high 26 points to help propel the under-Dawgs by the stunned Panthers. The game stood in stark contrast to Monticello's 92-41 mauling of Sullivan West in last season's cats and Dawgs encounter. For the Sullivan West Bulldogs, who won only one game all of last year and who faltered mightily in their last game against Fallsburg wherein they failed to score in the second quarter, this win was historic and hearkened back to a 2005 SW victory in the Panthers' Pit when Joe Meyer hit the game winning trey at the buzzer.
Cardona was abetted by 14 from E.J. Franskevicz and 11 from Patrick Pierce. Both figured strongly into the second-half resurgence that overcame a 30-18 halftime deficit as the Westies whittled away at Monticello's lead. Doing what Sullivan West coach Bruce Nober had preached all week long, namely executing strong defense and making the extra pass to find the open shooter, worked like a charm. Monticello's inability to close out SW's long-range shooters and to make key buckets down the stretch spelled its demise as the Panthers fell to 1-3 after a subsequent loss to Washingtonville in Monroe-Woodbury's Taravella Tournament. With 1:22 remaining in the game, the Monties had a one-point lead and the ball, but junior Captain Rob Riley's shot rolled around and out. Cardona's final trey of the night put the Dawgs (2-3) ahead 50-48 and they never trailed again. They hit eight of 10 free throws in the final period to help ice the win. The Panthers were paced by Anthony Gray's 22 points, along with 20 from Riley. But the most talked-about number from the night was three. Sullivan West had netted nine treys in the win, including two each from Franskevicz and Pierce.
It's hard to remember a time when the three-point shot was not a part of the game of basketball. Who actually invented the concept of a bonus point for a shot beyond of an arc drawn on the floor, which in high school is 19'9" from the basket, is still a matter of controversy. But its trial introduction in a 1945 college game between Fordham and Columbia was a forerunner of its use in both college and professional basketball. It was used first in the American Basketball League (ABL) before becoming a cornerstone of American Basketball Association (ABA), which popularized it (can you say Dr. J?). The NBA, which absorbed the ABA in the 1979-80 season, sanctioned the trey that year from beyond an arc of 23' 9". The NCAA adopted its 19'9" line nationally in 1986. The three-point shot has forever changed the game of basketball, but coaches will be the first to tell you that teams that live or die by the three alone have a short-shelf life against those with a more balanced attack. More to come.
Visit sportsinsightsny.com for ongoing winter sports stories and albums of photos.
Monticello junior captain Rob Riley had 20 points in the game. This late shot, taken while the Monties had a one-point lead, missed its mark and Cardona followed up with his fifth three to put the Dawgs ahead for good.

Center for Public Deliberation and Participation forum revisits 1965 Moynihan Report
ALBANY, Ga. – The Albany State University Lois B. Hollis Center for Public Deliberation and Participation will lead a community forum Thursday, April 28 to increase citizen awareness on social equity issues, including fairness, justice and equality. The 6:30 p.m. forum, hosted by the Albany Civil Rights Institute, will be held at 326 W. Whitney Ave.
"Social equity is a pillar in public administration and has been challenging to achieve," said Veronica Adams-Cooper, Center director.
The forum will highlight the 1965 study, "The Negro Family: The Case for National Action," commonly referred to as the Moynihan Report. Published during the Civil Rights movement, the controversial and widely criticized study discussed the origins of black poverty. The report was prepared by then Assistant Secretary for the Department of Labor, Daniel Patrick Moynihan. It recommended that the national government take comprehensive and coordinated action to address the social inequities impacting the black community. However, the report was never implemented.
Representatives at Thursday's forum will provide details regarding the original report and discuss information on future changes and opportunities concerning social equity.
"Over fifty years later, as the nation begins to prepare for the 400-year milestone of the African-American community in 2019, having a new national plan for increasing social equity for this population would be fitting," Adams-Cooper said. "Citizen participation in realizing such an effort is vital. This community forum provides Albany and Dougherty, Georgia an opportunity to begin thinking about how such a plan would benefit this area."
A follow-up forum is scheduled for 6 p.m., Wednesday, May 4 at Eula Lovett Hall on the Albany State University campus.

Scholarship support is important to the ability of most students to attend North Central, but never more so than in this time of economic hardship for many families. During 2008-2009, Ian and Brent Tyson established a scholarship to honor their mother, Associate Professor of Education Lora Tyson, who died September 1, 2008. Tanya Kuzmenko '10 is the first recipient of the new Dr. Lora L. Tyson Education Scholarship. "The money has been a huge blessing for me, because I'm student-teaching during fall term and I'm not able to work," says Kuzmenko, an elementary education major. "My dad is helping me with my tuition but hasn't had much work."
More than $600,000 is awarded annually from restricted and nonrestricted scholarship funds. "We have about 195 named scholarships that we award in financial aid," says Marty Rossman, director of financial aid. "Many students are dependent on receiving more than one scholarship to remain at North Central, especially in light of the current economic times."
Employees in Institutional Advancement help create scholarship funds that meet donors' needs in honoring a person and/or helping students with certain interests. "We work with donors to determine their goals, and sometimes they come to us with specific ideas," says Maria Caselli '01/M '08, associate director of development.
Rossman used the S.W. Kung Scholarship, established to honor Shien Woo Kung '26, to assist Pero Atanasov '11 when his family could no longer assist him financially. Atanasov, a native of Macedonia with majors in computer science and mathematics, wants to attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison for graduate school. "Fortunately they realized I'm a good student," says Atanasov, who carries a near-perfect grade-point average.
Due to her family's financial situation, Alyssa Figueroa '11 (right) had decided she'd drive the 90 minutes each way from her Poplar Grove, IL, home. "I knew the commute was going to take a toll on me but I wanted to attend North Central because of its great academics," says Figueroa, a political science major. She qualified for a Norman and Rose Lewis Scholarship, which pays for her room and board. "I've been able to live on campus and get involved in Student Governing Association, Phi Alpha Delta pre-law fraternity and Mock Trial."
Both the S.W. Kung Scholarship and the Norman and Rose Lewis Scholarship—established by Jackie Lewis Wentz '63—are among the 34 scholarship funds with endowments of $100,000 or more. Some scholarships restrict the recipient to certain qualifications, while others are unrestricted in their requirements.
Sunbir Gill '10 applied for and received the Alumni Board of Directors Student Involvement Scholarship, which he says allows him to spend more time focusing on Students In Free Enterprise and his other activities. Matt McCary '10, a biology major, interned in Oregon with the Environmental Protection Agency during summer 2009. This year, he is receiving the Derrick and Tracy Malone Minority Scholarship along with his other aid. "If I didn't have scholarship money, I wouldn't be in school right now," he says. "Students really need the support to be here."
