Senate advances immigrant license billToby Talbot / AP Photo
Danilo Lopez, center, celebrates following the Senate vote backing immigrant drivers licenses Friday in Montpelier.
MONTPELIER The Vermont Senate gave preliminary approval Friday to legislation allowing immigrant workers on Vermont farms to become legal drivers, even though they may be in the country illegally.
The plan will go to a final Senate vote Tuesday and then heads to the House.
The 27-2 preliminary vote in the Senate came nearly 19 months after Vermont State Police stopped a car containing two passengers who were Mexican immigrant farm workers in the country illegally and turned them over to the U.S. Border Patrol.
One of those farm workers, Danilo Lopez, said Friday he was gratified at the progress made since his release by the Border Patrol for the estimated 1,200 to 1,500 people like him, immigrants from Mexico and Guatemala who entered the U.S. illegally and who now provide much-needed labor on Vermonts dairy farms.
We are really proud, Lopez said through an interpreter. The vote today is due to the testimony and organizing and strong efforts of our community.
Lopez and senators supporting the measure said it would address the isolation many of the farm workers feel on dairy farms along Vermonts rural dirt roads, and allow them better access to services like medical care.
Lopez said he was injured on the job, but was unable to seek care for several hours due to a lack of transportation.
The license itself is much more than a piece of plastic, he said. What it really means is the opportunity and ability to move around, to meet our fundamental needs independently.
Natalia Fajardo, an organizer with the group Migrant Justice, which lobbied for the legislation, said Vermont would join Washington state, Utah, Arizona and Illinois in having some form of drivers license for people who are in the country in violation of immigration laws.
She said about 14 other states are considering such measures.
Backers in the Senate said the immigrant workers provide crucial labor to Vermonts iconic dairy farms, as well as in the hospitality industry, doing work that farmers and resort owners are hard-pressed to find enough Americans willing to do.
Sen. Jane Kitchel, D-Caledonia, who described the bill to her Senate colleagues, called those workers critical to our economy.
Backers also said better mobility would leave the workers less vulnerable to exploitation by unscrupulous employers. Lopez said most Vermont farmers treat their immigrant workers well, though some do not.
The police stop of a Vermont driver for speeding when he had two Mexican passengers in the back seat in September 2011 gave impetus to the effort to get the immigrant workers the right to drive, Fajardo said.
The troopers focus on the passengers was charged by critics to be a case of racial profiling, and Gov. Peter Shumlin later endorsed a bias-free policing policy under which immigration status was not to be a priority law enforcement matter for the state police.
Under the bill, the immigrant workers will not be eligible for the drivers license that was enhanced last year in keeping with the federal REAL ID Act. REAL ID-compliant licenses incorporate the drivers Social Security number and other data that someone in the country illegally likely would not have.
Instead, the immigrant drivers would get an operators privilege card, providing they had passed the written and road tests required for any drivers license.
Some worried about what Fajardo called the scarlet-letter effect, in which someone with the privilege card would be automatically assumed to be in the country illegally.
But she said that concern was mitigated by the fact that other Vermonters who dont want to share the information required to get the REAL ID license might use the privilege card, as well.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

Hi Ladies,
I had my daughter June 1st. She weighted 4lbs 15oz when she was born (emergency csection because she stopped growing).
I started breastfeeding her 5 hours after my csection. It was recommended by the pedi in the hospital to suppliment her as well because she was a preemie.
Up until last week my dd was getting 1 bottle a at night before bedtime. Then my mom and my sister came to visit us and my dd was suddenly getting 3 bottles/day.
Since my mom and sister left I have been trying to work on getting back to 1 bottle a day. Do any of you ladies have any suggestions? I have managed to get down to 2 suppliments a day, but I personaaly feel that is too much. I know that sounds strange, but when I agreed to supplimenting it was 1 bottle and that is what my baby was used too and now that she has had more it gives her extreme gas and consitipation.
Also, I am afraid that If I change from our original eating habits it will cause me (1) to have a lower milk supply or (2) my baby will start rejecting BM.
How often does everyone else suppliment? Am I just being a paranoid first time breastfeeding mom (I have 2 other children but I ff them)?
If I want to stop supplimenting altogether do I gradually wean her off or just stop cold turkey?
Thanks for any advice or comments

Toyota switching gears
In reaction to growing concerns over high fuel costs and a subsequent decline in SUV and truck sales, Toyota has announced its newest North American plant – being built near Blue Springs – will be the first production site in the United States of its Prius hybrid sedan.
The Prius, which will be the company's second hybrid vehicle built in the US, will take the place of Highlander as the Mississippi plant's featured vehicle, Toyota officials also announced that the Highlander will be manufactured at its Princeton, Ind. site in the fall of 2009 and that its Tundra full-size pick-up truck will be built strictly in San Antonio, Texas beginning next spring.
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America Vice President Jim Wiseman said that the reason for restructuring was a response to changing consumer demand and improvement in production efficiency.
"The truck market continues to worsen, so unfortunately we must temporarily suspend production. But this good news about production mix demonstrates our long-term commitment to our North American operations and to our team members, supplier partners, and communities where our plants are located," said Jim Wiseman, vice president/external affairs for Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America (TEMA). "By using this downturn as an opportunity to develop team members and improve our operations, we hope to emerge even stronger."
Because of the decision to build the Prius hybrid at the Blue Springs site, instead of the Highlander, the plant production will be delayed until the fall of 2010. When the plant's construction was first announced in 2007, it was originally scheduled to open in January of 2010.
Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour said the change from the Highlander to the Prius will be a good one.
"It is exciting news that Toyota has decided to begin manufacturing the Prius hybrid sedan in the U.S., and Mississippi is proud to have been chosen as the location of this important new venture," Barbour said in a statement released Thursday morning. "The Prius is the leading hybrid car in the world and the environmental car of the future; it is appropriate it will be built at Toyota's model environmentally-sustainable plant in Blue Springs."
"While the decision to manufacture the Prius in Mississippi means a delay in opening the plant from spring to fall 2010, it's worth the wait. Mississippi thinks long term and in the long term this is a grand slam home run," Barbour continued.
Union County Development Association Executive Director Stephen Surles said he also believes the decision will be good for the county and possibly mean more opportunities.
"I think it's very positive," Surles said. "Where I'm looking at it is that there has been a shift in consumer demand from trucks and SUV's to smaller economy cars because of the high cost of fuel. And I think it's going to be long term shift."
Surles said, in terms of the auto suppliers who will work with the plant, the decision helps Union County and the Northeast Mississippi region as well.
"There's not a supplier base for some of these parts, because the Prius isn't currently built in North America," Surles said. "So my gut reaction is that there will be more opportunities for us to build an infrastructure for the construction of the vehicle."
Toyota also announced Thursday that it will temporarily suspend Tundra and Sequoia production beginning August 8 and it will resume in early November. Officials said, however, that employees at those sites, including the Huntsville, Ala. plant that builds Tundra and Sequoia engines, will continue to be provided work.

What is an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC)?
An ACEC is a designation that highlights areas where special management attention is needed to protect and prevent irreparable damage to important historic, cultural and scenic values; fish, wildlife resources or other natural systems or processes; or to protect human life and safety from natural hazards. BLM establishes special management measures for these areas through land use planning. The designation is a record of significant values that must be accommodated when BLM considers future management actions and land use proposals.

This is my first baby. She is 3 weeks old. I have been having trouble breast feeding since the first day at the hospital. The first week my nipples were extremely sore and cracked. Just as I started to feel better I hurt my right nipple again when feeding. It looked like a blood blister and was so painful I had to express and feed for 4 days. Although I was feeding from my left and expressing from the right during this time my milk supply suddenly went down. I hardly seem to have any milk in my left. It does not feel full. When I massage and squeeze I get a few drops and when I try to pump I get a few squirts and then it stops. The right painful breast is better now and I have gone back to feeding directly however the supply in this breast drops towards towards the end of the day. My LO is typically not satisfied with her 5 pm feed and late night feed. She suckles and gulps and swallows initially and then starts to fuss and moves her head left and right. Sometimes she starts to cry when she is suckling. She also looks irritated and stressed through these feeds. She has never left my breast on her own. I have let her go on feeding to see how long she will go and she has fed continuously up to 2 hours before I pulled her off.
I do not know if I have low milk supply towards the evening. After I pull her off and try to hand express I get few drops.
I have kept feeding her even though I have no milk left and till my breast feels floppy and empty but she never seems to be full. Last night she went on crying for food till I finally resigned and gave her 60 ml of formula. After that she pooped a tonn and finally went to sleep. I feel so gulity now for giving her formula. I want to eclusively breast feed for atleast 6 months. I really need to know what is going on with me. Do you think this is a low milk supply problem?
I started on fenugreek today after reading some posts on the forum. There is no change so far. I really dont want to give formula again tonight but my breasts are empty and I have a feeling tonight is going to be a repetition of last night
Please advice. Anyone with similar experiences and anyone who overcame this please let me know it will be ok.
Thank you...

Now by the time I get there it's 8pm, and Josa eats at 8, so I have to get diaper/temp done if nurse hasn't done it yet, then attempt breast for 10-15 min, and then attempt bottle. Next is Kaitlyn who eats at 8:30 pm, do temp/diaper (to help wake her up), by the time we start the breast it's about 9pm, so already 30 min late for her, and then try the bottle. By the time I'm done it's 10pm, I have to get home, do dinner, and go to bed and start all over.
I've run out of time for quality time with them. I certainly hate that it seems our visits have turned into strictly business. I'm scared they won't even know who I am by the time I get them home. They probably think I am just another nurse, lol.
Lactation says my #1 issue is that I can't be there when they are exhibiting feeding cues, or when they are awake enough to try. But, unfortunately that can't be helped.
They are currently allowed to try bottle 3 times a day but are mostly being fed via ng tube because they typically don't take much from the bottle.
Now the Dr is saying that they are going to feed them bottle only when they exhibit alertness/feeding cues.
I guess I can just keep going the way we're going. Thanks for the answers.

September 4, 2013 —
Firefighters got a new contract on August 28, but Lumberland Fire Department President Ann Schulte Steimle said that the first she'd heard its details was upon Supervisor Nadia Rajsz reading the document earlier that evening.
The town board held a public hearing on the contract last Wednesday.
The contract's $190,000 support wasn't in question; the five-year time frame was.
Councilman Ron Thiele called for an even-numbered term, as the highway department contract would come due on odd-years.
Steimle initially suggested three years, citing equipment replacement costs, but felt "Two years would be fine."
Councilman James Akt said, "We'll bail you out… If there's a problem with the contract, we'll hash it out."
Rajsz had said the contract would continue at $190,000 for its term, but could also be reopened by either the town or the department.
"How much is it going to cost us?" one resident asked.
Another said that figures on the department's fundraising should be available to the public.
Rajsz said the tax impact and the $190,000 support are the same as in the current year. However, she added that she has learned that fire departments with revenues over $200,000 may be required to file an audited IRS report.
Steimle said she had already filed the department's IRS 990 report.
"We're not looking for more money," Steimle said. "I pay taxes too—for the service I volunteer for. We don't want more."
The town board approved the two-year contract, which also includes payments toward future purchase of enhanced fire department radios. The contract now goes to the fire department for membership approval.
Assessor renewed
In a separate contract issue, the board decided to renew the six-year contract of its full-time, sole appointed assessor, Judy Flieger, who earns $31,000 annually, plus benefits.
During discussion, Rajsz noted that most Sullivan towns have part-time, sole assessors and assessor clerks.
Others wanted to retain Flieger as a full-time employee, even if the clerk position was eliminated. "This town isn't part-time anymore," said code enforcement officer Dave Sparling.
Summarizing the discussion, Rajsz said, "I'm hearing full-time assessor and no clerk."
Flieger's contract was approved unanimously.
Visitor center proposal
Rajsz also announced that Lumberland has applied for $325,000 through a New York State Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) grant. The money would partially fund the purchase of a 2.3 acre parcel on Route 97, adjoining the National Park Service Ranger Station south of Barryville.
The property, which has an existing apartment building known as the "Coop" on it, is proposed for a visitor center to be jointly managed with the NPS.
Rajsz said the town has acquired a "right -of-first-refusal" option on the land, which would be further developed with $250,000 to be secured by state Senator John Bonacic.
She said needed work would include improving a bridge on the property and creating an emergency river access.
Thiele noted that the only cost to the town would be the loss of a $300,000 property from the tax rolls.
The board approved an authorization for the supervisor to purchase the property.

I think this is a nice idea for someone who hasn't got Priest in his collection and doesn't wanna bother with hunting them individually. As for making albums unwanted history, I guess every band does that with at least a couple of albums. It's their right.

Written by Black Conundrum on 22.01.2012 at 01:07
If I wanted the albums, I would get them individually (which is the case with Ram it Down). Once this compilation has been out for a while, I would like to see the sale statistics as well. Isn't it a little redundant that this release has a recently released compilation within it? Isn't this compilation a little redundant in itself?
Written by Zaph on 21.01.2012 at 22:07
It's cheaper for me to buy this box set then to buy the remaining 12 albums that I don't have yet. Tough choice because I hate mini-LP-bullshit, but I love money...

Yes you did, but you said it's great for someone who doesn't have any Priest. I have 5 of their albums but it's also great for me because it's cheaper for me too, just sayin' .
Written by Xim on 22.01.2012 at 15:07The classic Judas Priest line-up? So do none of the drummer's matter then?
Well actually now that I think about it, I guess Dave Holland doesn't.
Written by Angelic Storm on 22.01.2012 at 15:10
Well, Dave Holland was a longstanding drummer for Priest, but he wasn't a great drummer by any means. Simon Phillips and Les Binks were far superior, and Scott Travis makes mincemeat out of him.
Written by Csabi on 22.01.2012 at 22:09
This is very cool but it's a shame that they excluded the Ripper era. Was it that a big of a deal to include three more CDs? Shame!
Written by RavenKing on 22.01.2012 at 18:15Scott Travis is many times better than Dave Holland, indeed. Just listen to Racer-X for a proof.

I am a fan of Racer-X, and Scott certainly displayed his huge talent long before he became a member of Priest. He is far and away better than Dave Holland, who is the worst drummer Priest ever had in my opinion. His drumming is in fact the only weak part in albums like "Screaming For Vengeance" and "Defenders Of The Faith".

Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater
Not surprisingly, Dharma's reputation preceded her and even the guys assisting with parking (all the way in Grahamsville!) recognized her instantly, although they had no clue who I was. I sniffed with derision in their general direction, but got over it quickly as I picked out friends and neighbors in the crowd and joined in the merriment, reveling (once again) in all things country life. The dog insisted on seeing the petting zoo and (of course) I acquiesced, while sampling homemade donuts, funnel cake and the requisite pumpkin cider. All in all, it was an incredibly good time. If you've never been, mark your Jeff Bank calendar for next year, for it is (IMHO) really worth the trip.
On the way home, we passed the Catskill Harvest Market, (www.catskillharvest.com), which I had noted was hosting its annual "Customer Appreciation Day" barbeque and appeared to be in full swing. Showcasing hundreds of pumpkins front and center, the market is described as "a place where farm market meets gourmet grocery," with an emphasis on local suppliers from the Catskills, the Hudson Valley and Northeast PA. I wheeled around when I (aargh) heard the dog's name being called and spied friends at a table, with their own canine in tow. We joined them for a burger (thanks, guys) and chewed the fat for a while, admiring the garden center and incredible fall day, before heading off in search of adventure.
It would seem that more pumpkins are in our future, as this weekend approaches. Pumpkin Fest 2013 (www.barryvilleny.com) will take place on Saturday, October 12 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and The River Reporter will be on hand with our own festive photo booth, while helping to sponsor Barryville's brand of pie eating, costume and scarecrow contests. Be sure to stop by, say "hi" to you-know-who and have your snapshot taken for our photo album (www.facebook.com/theriverreporter). Unlike Peter, Peter, who "had another and didn't love her," I adore my pooch (in spite of her burgeoning stardom) and we're both excited to greet you all at Pumpkin Fest, Now all I have to do (according to the poem) is "learn how to read and spell." There's always next week.

8.3% (updated)
Interesting, isn't it? I really don't have to put anything else up there to explain that number. Everyone in their brother will look at it and understand that the unemployment rate just rose from 8.2% to 8.3%. Its sort of like celebrities who are identifiable by only their first name. However, Obama and the Democrats certainly don't want to grant that number that sort of status.
The U.S. economy closed out an otherwise weak second quarter by creating more jobs than expected, with 163,000 new positions added, but the unemployment rate rose to 8.3 percent.
Of course the job creation rate isn't even at the break even point, even if up slightly.
But that doesn't mean there aren't those out there spinning the results:
"While the monthly gain is still relatively small by historical standards, it might help spark somewhat higher consumer optimism and spending," Kathy Bostjancic, director of macroeconomic analysis at The Conference Board, said in response to the report.
Yeah, "spark." Like all the other "sparks" we've been told about. Like the 3 "recovery summers" we've been promised. Like the job saves/creation the stimulus was going to provide (Remember we're supposed to be at around 5% unemployment right now. That's what Obama promised if we gave him a trillion dollars to throw down the sewer. He claimed that without it unemployment would rise to … oh, wait, over 8%). And this month we've seen the official unemployment rate go a tenth higher.
As for the spin, let's get real instead:
Despite the seemingly good news, the report's household showed that the actual amount of Americans working dropped by 195,000, with the net job gain resulting primarily from seasonal adjustments in the establishment survey. The birth-death model, which approximates net job growth from newly added or closed businesses, added 52,000 to the total.
The household survey also showed 150,000 fewer Americans in the workforce.
Perking right along, aren't we? Oh, and by the way:
June's anemic 80,000 gain was revised down to just 64,000.
And does the 8.3% number really reflect the problem? Well, we've said for years that it understates it. And it does:
While the figures themselves have been gloomy enough, there is considerable debate over whether the Labor Department's headline numbers present the true picture.
A measure that takes into account those who have stopped looking for jobs as well as those working part-time for economic reasons has hovered near 15 percent. The so-called "real" unemployment rate, or U-6 measure, is above 20 percent in Nevada and California.
On a national level, that more encompassing rate edged higher to 15.0 percent.
But if you listen to Obama he'll tell you that what he's done "worked". Then he'll try to convince you it would be much worse if it hadn't "worked". Really?
If you honestly believe that, then you have a convenient memory that has obviously forgotten all the promises made about the stimulus spending.
None of what he and his administration has done has worked, we're in horrible economic shape, he's had 3 plus years to do something that would help the situation (just one example is the oil and gas industry where approving Keystone and opening federal lands and the offshore to exploration would have crated thousands of jobs), and he's failed.
Time to give someone else a shot.
And yes, it's that simple.
UPDATE: Zero Hedge chimes in – basically the numbers aren't as good as they're being spun:
We got the pre-spun job quantity data already, where we learned that nearly 3 times the headline print was due to seasonal and B/D adjustments and is thus nothing but noise. Now we get the quality. As can be seen below, courtesy of Table A9 from the Household Survey, in July the number of part-time jobs added was 31K, bringing the total to 27,925, just shy of the all time record of 28,038. Full time jobs? Down 228,000 to 114,345, lower than the February full-time jobs print of 114,408. Once again, more and more Americans are relinquishing any and all benefits associated with Full Time Jobs benefits, and instead are agreeing on a job. Any job. Even if it means working just 1 hour a week. For the BLS it doesn't matter – 1 hour of work a week still qualifies you as a Part-Time worker.
UPDATE II: Meanwhile at the White House, unicorns and moon ponies continue to prance. Alan Kreuger:
While there is more work that remains to be done, today's employment report provides further evidence that the U.S. economy is continuing to recover from the worst downturn since the Great Depression.
UPDATE III: In case you need a reminder of "The Promise and The Reality":

Driver's getaways help dissipate Cup frustrations
Nate Ryan @nateryan USA TODAY Sports
Mired in the worst start of his Sprint Cup career, Tony Stewart has left several NASCAR tracks in an unhappy mood after final practice on Saturdays this season.
The three-time champion has returned to the garage Sundays in a chipper and jovial mood.
It has everything to do with how well his car is running — but not the one that pays the bills at Stewart-Haas Racing.
When Stewart scurries off to a dirt track somewhere in America on every Saturday night, his demeanor changes instantaneously when reconnected with the grass roots of Sprint Cars — something crew chief Steve Addington notices with each increasingly positive phone call and text message from his driver.
"He gets in a good mood and comes in Sunday more optimistic," Addington told USA TODAY Sports. "That's big for the team to see that. He cuts up with the guys when he has those good nights."
Making this year's Chase for the Sprint Cup will require a kick-start for Stewart, who is ranked 22nd — five spots lower than his previous worst through seven races in 2001 — with a best finish of eighth. Adding-ton thinks dirt racing helps sharpen Stewart's restarts in NASCAR. "He picks up on little things," he said.
This weekend's getaway while NASCAR visits Kansas Speedway is Paducah (Ky.) International Raceway, which Stewart co-owns with Bob Sargent and Ken Schrader. After practicing and qualifying at Kansas, Stewart will aim for his fourth World of Outlaws victory today. He captured his first in July 2011 while in the midst of a summer slump that he rebounded from to win his third Cup title after nearly missing the Chase.
As his own boss, Stewart, 41, is afforded the opportunity for the extracurricular activity, which sometimes was frowned upon and curtailed when he drove for Joe Gibbs Racing from 1999 to 2008. It was one of the
perks of becoming his own boss as a co-owner of the No. 14 Chevrolet four years ago.
"It's like hitting a reset button for me," he said. "It's a lot of effort, a lot of money and a lot of time to do all this, but it's worth it. I'm in a fortunate position where I have the resources to do it, but I also don't have a wife and children. I have a German shepherd who doesn't care where we go. ... It's my release."
Stewart has enjoyed plenty of solid results while moonlighting with more frequency for the second consecutive season. After running 90 total races between NASCAR and Sprint Cars last season, he is on pace for 100 in 2013.
This past Sunday, Stewart erased the memory of a frustrating 21st at Texas Motor Speedway with a top-10 in a winged Sprint Car race at Susquehanna Speedway Park in York Haven, Pa. A week earlier, he escaped a frustrating weekend at Martinsville Speedway by jetting to Selinsgrove (Pa.) Speedway, where he set a track record, won a heat and the main feature at a track he hadn't raced before.
Such nights help assuage the disappointment in Cup for Stewart, who was 17th at Martinsville the next day.
A turnaround for Stewart will depend on improving the Chevrolets at Stewart-Haas. He has lobbied for increasing the teamwork with Hendrick Motorsports, which supplies the team's chassis, engines and technical support for the No. 14 as well as for teammates Ryan Newman and Danica Patrick.
At Kansas, Stewart has two victories and finished fifth in October in the track's first race since a resurfacing.
"When we find out what we're missing, we'll go on a roll with it," Addington said.

The Quality and Manner of Life of the Renowned Don Quixote de la Mancha
In the village of La Mancha lives a fifty-year-old man, an old-fashioned gentleman who always has with him a lance, an old target, a scrawny horse, and a greyhound. He eats more beef than mutton and three-fourths of his income is spent on food; he spends the rest on velvet robe and slippers for holidays and a suit of the very best homespun cloth for the rest of the year. His family includes a fortyish housekeeper, a teen-aged niece, and a serving man who works both inside and outside of the estate and can saddle a horse. The gentleman is fit and hearty, a lover of hunting, and according to tradition his surname is Quixana, though that is not a certainty.
When the gentleman has nothing to do with his days (which is often for this gentleman), he reads books about knight-errantry. He is so absorbed by his reading that he sells off good land in order to purchase more romances, books about knights, damsels, chivalry, and service. Soon he owns every book on the subject. Some of the writing he does not understand and some adventures he does not like as well as others; however, he so wholly devotes himself to his reading that he spends all of his days and nights doing it.
The lack of sleeping and eating causes the gentleman to lose his reason. Now his books have come to life in his mind, and his head is full only of enchantments, quarrels, battles, challenges, wounds, armor, and tournaments: an "abundance of…impossibilities, insomuch, that all the fables and fantastical tales which he read seem to him now as true as the most authentic histories." He has his favorite knights, among them Bernardo del Carpio who killed Orlando; the giant Morgante is among his favorites because he was civil, though he came from a monstrous brood.
Of all the men in the world, though, the gentleman most of all admires Rinaldo of Montalvan for his...

Of Don Quixote's First Sally
Don Quixote has made his preparations and, before dawn in the heat of July, he prepares to leave for adventures unknown. After he laces his helmet, straps on his target, grasps his lance, and mounts the noble Rozinante, he rides out the private door of his back yard. He is thrilled at how well his adventure is going so far, but he does not travel long before he has a terrible thought: because he has not yet been knighted, according to the rules of chivalry he cannot bear arms against any foe, should have no adornment on his shield, and should wear white armor until he performs an act of valor.
This realization nearly deters Quixote, but he decides to get knighted at the first opportunity and to scour his armor along the way until it shines white. He continues his journey, speaking in exaggerated poetry in the fashion of the romances he so loves. The sun is beating down so violently that "it would have been sufficient to have melted his brains had he had any left."
Nearly the entire day passes uneventfully and Quixote is in despair, for his greatest desire is to meet someone on whom he can wield his weapon. Just when Rozinante is exhausted and famished, Quixote sees an inn which he reaches at dusk. In the romantic glow of near-darkness, the inn appears to him to be a castle, complete with towers, moats, and drawbridge. Because of that, he draws close and then waits for a dwarf to appear on the battlements and announce him with a horn. That, of course, does not happen.
Finally he arrives at the inn door, and all the serving wenches are frightened at the sight of this strange-looking man in battered armor and they immediately begin to run. Sensing their fear, Quixote lifts his visor and begs the young virgins not to flee. These wenches are no virgins, and they laugh at him; with grave concern, he admonishes the girls that laughter is unbecoming to the loftiness...

An Account of the Pleasant Method Taken by Don Quixote to Be Dubbed a Knight
Don Quixote cuts his awkward meal short and begs the innkeeper to follow him to the stable where he promptly falls prostrate at the man's feet and begs a favor of him. He tells the landlord that he intends to spend the night with his armor in the castle's chapel and would be honored if the innkeeper would dub him a knight in the morning so he can continue his adventures.
By now the innkeeper is well aware of Quixote's delusional mind and determines to have some fun with him. He tells Quixote that he, too, was once a knight-errant and traveled the world doing deeds of destruction and mayhem. He is sorry to...

What Befell the Knight After He Had Left the Inn
Don Quixote is thrilled to be riding forth as a true knight, and he is determined to equip himself as the innkeeper recommended; he is going back home to seek a squire and provision himself with the other things necessary for knights-errant. On the way, Quixote hears an "effeminate voice complaining in a thicket" on his right. Quixote knows this is his first opportunity to help someone in distress.
As fast as Rozinante can carry him, Quixote rides to the source of the sound and discovers a teenage boy, naked to the waist, being whipped by a large country man. The boy is crying out that he will never again steal anything from his master,...

A Further Account of Our Knight's Misfortunes
As he lies by the side of the road, sore and unable to move, Quixote recalls the romance story of Baldwin and the Marquis of Mantua and he immediately feels better. He recalls the lament of that tale and sings out the question: where, oh where, is the Marquis of Mantua? As fortune would have it, a ploughman who lives in the village near Quixote's house happens to be walking by with a sack of wheat from the mill. When he sees and hears the strange man lying prostrate near the road, he asks the man who he is and why he is lamenting so sadly.
Quixote sees the man as his uncle, the Marquis, and immediately shares the imaginary woes of the romance...

Of the Pleasant and Curious Scrutiny With the Curate and the Barber Made of the Library of Our Ingenious Gentleman
The curate, the barber, and the housekeeper enter Quixote's library and see more than a hundred large, neatly bound volumes in addition to many small ones. As soon as she sees them, the housekeeper runs to get a pot of holy water and sprinkler and brings it back to the library, begging the curate to purify them. She is convinced that these books contain nothing but evil and is afraid of them. The curate smiles at her simplicity before he and the barber look at the title page of each book to determine if any of them are worth saving.
There is disagreement over the first book,...

Don Quixote's Second Sally in Quest of Adventure
While others are sorting books in his library, Don Quixote has a "raving fit," calling all able knights to arms. His outcry is loud enough to take the inquisitors away from the library. When the men leave, the housekeeper and the niece burn several more volumes which might have escaped if the men had been there to save them.
When the curate and barber reach Quixote's room, they find him as mad as ever, standing on his bed and fighting an invisible enemy with all his strength. After they remove the raging man from his bed and calm him down, Quixote says they have caused him to dishonor the tournament by carrying him away. The curate...

Of the Good Success Which the Valorous Don Quixote Had in the Most Terrifying and Never-to-Be-Imagined Adventure of the Wind-Mills, With Other Transactions Worthy to Be Transmitted to Posterity
Quixote and Panza spy thirty or forty windmills across the plain, and Quixote immediately prepares to fight what he sees as courageous giants and capture their spoils. As he describes the giants with long arms, Panza tells his master that those are not arms but sails, and they are not giants but windmills. Quixote is undeterred and spurs Rozinante into battle. He calls on the name of his beloved lady, Dulcinea, and rushes the first windmill. When his lance runs into the sail, the wind is strong enough to shatter...

The Event of the Most Stupendous Combat Between the Brave Biscainer and the Valorous Don Quixote
At the end of the last book, Don Quixote and a valiant lady's squire were engaged in a battle in which each man is ready to "discharge on each other two furious and most terrible blows" which, if they fell uncontested, would have divided each man from "head to heel." Unfortunately, though, the original author of this story did not provide the ending to this battle nor offer any place where one might discover it. This author cannot believe that the story of such a grand and valorous man as Quixote could have remained unfinished.
Because he refuses to accept that nothing more has been...

What Farther Befell Don Quixote With the Biscainer; and the Danger He Ran Among a Parcel of Yanguesians
After the beating, Sancho Panza finally gets slowly up and, seeing his master in a fight, begins to pray. He prays Quixote will be victorious, win an island, and appoint Panza governor of it as he promised. When it is clear the battle is over, Panza runs to help his master; however, before the knight can speak, his squire begs him to grant him the governorship of the island he won in this bloody battle.
Patiently Quixote explains that there are few spoils to be had in these kinds of battles and to be patient. Panza thanks Quixote and helps him mount Rozinante before leaping on his own...

What Passed Between Don Quixote and the Goatherd
The goatherds receive the knight graciously, and Panza makes his way to a kettle of boiling meat after he cares for the horses. The goatherds spread their rustic meal on some sheepskins on the ground and invite their guests to join them. Quixote sits on an upside-down trough and Panza stands behind his master to serve him as needed; however, the knight wants to demonstrate to Panza that even the lowest servant can be esteemed and honored by the world and asks Panza to sit next to him and eat from the same dishes as Quixote.
Panza is thankful for the offer but says he would enjoy his meal more if he were standing by himself rather than sitting...

The Story Which a Young Goatherd Told to Those That Were With Don Quixote
The young fellow who brings the goatherds provisions from the next village brings the news that Chrysostom, a shepherd and scholar, died this morning. It is said he died from his love for a "devilish, untoward lass" named Marcella, who flaunts herself in shepherdess clothing. Even worse, Chrysostom's will states that he should be buried in the field, on the exact spot, where he first saw Marcella. The other wishes of the dead man are so odd that they will not be allowed by the parish, but a scholar named Ambrose (who also dresses like a shepherd) intends to carry out his friend's wishes.

A Continuation of the Story of Marcella
It is barely dawn and five goatherds, Don Quixote, and Sancho Panza, leave for the funeral service. In a short time they meet six shepherds wearing black skins, crowned with cypress-tree garlands, and carrying long staves made of holly. Behind them are two gentlemen on horseback accompanied by three servants on foot. After greeting one another, the strangers decide to travel together to the funeral.
One of the men on horseback, Vivaldo, explains that the shepherds who are wearing black in mourning told them about "the dead shepherd and his murdering mistress" and he and his companion want to see the funeral for themselves. Quixote asks what his...

The Unfortunate Shepherd's Verses and Other Unexpected Matters
Vivaldo reads Chrysostom's poem; it recounts Marcella's great beauty but laments her cruelty before he asks the Greek gods to greet him warmly in the afterlife. It does mention his jealousies and fears regarding the shepherdess, but when Vivaldo asks about those things, Ambrose explains them away as a fault of his friend, not Marcella. Vivaldi is convinced and is prepared to read a second poem, but suddenly Marcella appears near the rock where the grave is being dug.

Giving an Account of Don Quixote's Unfortunate Encounter With Certain Bloody-Minded and Wicked Yanguesian Carriers
After Don Quixote leaves Chrysostom's funeral, he and his squire wander through the woods for two hours looking for Marcella. When they do not find her, they sit in a meadow and eat their lunch. Panza does not tie Rozinante, and normally the docile horse would not be tempted to leave his master. This afternoon, however, some Yanguesian carriers are resting in a nearby field and have left their mares free to eat and drink.
Rozinante is drawn to them; however, they are not enticed by his advances. In fact, they attack the poor steed with their hooves and teeth, disrobing him...

What Happened to Don Quixote in the Inn Which He Took for a Castle
When the innkeeper sees Don Quixote "lying quite athwart" on the donkey, he is concerned.

The innkeeper's wife is a compassionate woman who, along with her daughter, immediately begins caring for Quixote. They are assisted by a rather odd-looking servant from the inn, Maritornes, a woman only three feet tall and too heavy for her body.

Quixote claims this is an enchanted castle and makes Panza swear not to tell anyone what he is about to say, at least until Quixote is dead. The squire agrees and hopes that happens tomorrow, as he hates to keep things around too long.

Panza, "naturally fearful and pusillanimous," is terrified at the sound.

Panza sees only a rider wearing something shiny on his head, but he does not confront his master for fear of being beaten.

(During the summer I do tend to wash it again in the evening...but other than that my skin care routine is very, very lacking.) However, I am approaching 30 and I am not a fan of getting older, let alone looking older so I have been doing more in my skin care routine over the past year or so.

text: We will be traveling in January with my parents. They have offered to babysit the kids so DH and I can go out alone while we are there. I don't want to lug my PISA along on the trip, but will need to provide DD with enough milk so DH and I can be gone for a day (not to mention keeping me comfortable.) Does anyone have any recommendations on a good, small and cheap pump I could pack along for the trip?

Switch Description ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /? Displays a dialog box pointing to the Office Resource Kit at http://www.microsoft.com/Office/ORK/. NOTE: The link to the Office XP Office Resource Kit is now http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX011511511033.aspx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /a <msifile> Setup performs an administrative installation using the specified Microsoft Installer (.msi) file to create an administrative install point. The .msi file must be in the same folder as Setup.exe. NOTE: To create an administrative installation, you must use an Enterprise edition of Office. Example: /a ProPlus.msi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /autorun Only used in the Autorun.inf file. This switch's purpose is to indicate that Setup is being run by Windows automatically after you insert the Office CD in the CD-ROM drive. CAUTION: Do not modify the Autorun.inf file. The information it contains is necessary for the correct operation of Setup. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------/f<options> Setup repairs the Office installation. The .msi file <package path> specified must be .msi file used to install Office originally. The .msi file must be in the same folder as Setup.exe. The Detect and Repair command (Help menu) in Office programs performs the same function as using the following options, /focums. If you run Setup and click Reinstall, Setup performs the same function as using the following options, /fecum. Valid options are: a Force all files to be reinstalled regardless of checksum or version. c Reinstall a file if it is missing or damaged (the stored checksum does not match the computed checksum value). d Reinstall a file if it is missing, or a different version is present. e Reinstall a file if it is missing, or an equal or older version is present. m Rewrite all required local machine registry values. o Reinstall a file if it is missing, or an older version is present. p Reinstall a file only if it is missing. s Reinstall all shortcuts, overwriting any existing shortcuts. u Rewrite all required user registry values. v Run from the source package and re-cache the local package. Example: /focums ProPlus.msi------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/i <msifile> Setup installs programs by using the Windows Installer package (MSI file) specified. The MSI file must be in the same folder as Setup.exe. If the file is not in the same folder as Setup.exe, it should be moved there, or a path to the file must be included. When running Setup.exe, /i is the default behavior, using the msifile specified in Setup.ini. Examples: /i ProPlus.msi /i "subfolder1\ProPlus.msi" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /j<option> Creates an icon representing an Office program or <package path> feature that is configured during Setup to install the first time you use it ("installed on first use"). Valid options are: u Current user logged on to Windows. m All users using the computer. NOTE: If you specify the /j option in the Setup command line, the only additional command-line options you can use, in addition to the /t sub option, are /q, /l, and /settings. All other command-line options are ignored. NOTE: In the case of Microsoft Office, use the /j option only when running Setup from an administrative installation point. Example: /ju c:\ProPlus.msi Example: /ju c:\ProPlus.msi /t install.mst------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /l<option> Logs switches for Msiexec.exe (the Windows Installer) <logfile> and specifies the path to the log file. The flags indicate which information to log. Valid options are: a Startup of actions c Initial UI parameters e All error messages i Status messages m Out of memory o Disk space errors
r Action-specific records p Terminal properties u User requests v Verbose output w Nonfatal warnings + Append to existing file * Log all information except verbose output. You can use the v switch along with the asterisk, /l*v. ! Writes each line to the log file. The default behavior is to cache 20 lines of log file text into memory and then write 20 lines to the log file at once. This is done to improve performance. NOTE: For more information, refer to the Knowledge Base article Q297107: You receive the "Installer terminated prematurely" error message when you use the ! logging option to install Office XP. Example: /l* c:\logfile.txt This example creates the following verbose log files, using all logging mode options: Setup.exe log file: c:\logfile.txt OSP log file: c:\logfile_Task(0001).txt Office log file: c:\logfile_Task(0002).txt-------------------------------------------------------------------------------/m <.mif file> Specifies an SMS .mif file name of 8 characters or less. NOTE: Do not include the .mif extension with the filename; otherwise, the command line will return the following error: "Invalid command line".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /noreboot Setup.exe will not restart the computer or display the restart dialog box at the end of an installation. It also passes REBOOT=ReallySuppress to every MSI in the list of chained installs, except for the last entry in the chain. Conversely, if you pass REBOOT=ReallySuppress as a property, it sets /noreboot and passes REBOOT=ReallySuppress to each MSI listed in the list of chained installs, except for the last entry in the chain. NOTE: Office XP Japanese Edition includes IME. IME needs to restart the computer. To avoid to display the restart dialog box at the end of an installation, you have to use REBOOT=ReallySuppress with *.MSI file to install. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /nosp Override system pack detection logic and don't call the System Files Update (OSP.msi). It is possible for an install process to fail if the OSP.msi is not installed when needed. Caution should be used when including this option. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<PROPERTY>=<value> Specifies a value for any of the Installer properties (see the Office Resource Kit for a complete list of valid properties). If the property value contains spaces, enclose the string in quotation marks ("<value>"). You can specify more than one property and value pair on the command line separated by spaces. Only public properties are set on the Setup command line. Public properties are all upper- case; you do not have to type the property names in upper-case on the command line. Private properties--properties consisting of mixed-case letters--are not recognized by Setup on the command line. You can set private properties in the Modify Setup Properties page of the wizard. Example: TRANSFORMS="c:\acct dept" DISABLEROLLBACK=1 USERNAME="Mikey" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /q<option> Selects the user-interface level. Valid options are n None - No user interface is displayed. b Basic - Only simple progress indicators and errors are displayed. r Reduced - No user information is collected, and no progress indicators are displayed. f Full - All indicators with a modal dialog box at the end of Setup. + Adds a completion message to the /n or /b option. The message is displayed only if Setup does not need to restart after the installation is complete. - Added after the b, f, n, or r option to suppress all modal dialogs. NOTE: You can only use this switch with an Enterprise edition of Office. Example: /qb- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /settings file Specifies a Setup settings file for customizing Setup actions. If the file is not located in the same folder as Setup.exe, include the path; however, it is recommended the file be in the same directory as Setup.exe. Specifying a settings file forces Setup to use the referenced file in place of Setup.ini. Example: /settings MyApp.ini ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /SPForce Install the System Files Update (OSP.msi) even if the auto-detection process determines it is not required. Not supported on Windows 2000 and Windows Millennium, where the OSP.msi cannot be installed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /SPOnly Install only the System Files Update (OSP.msi). Do not install Office. This option only applies to installations of Microsoft Office on Windows 98 or Windows NT 4. This switch is useful for pre-deployment of the System Files Update in preparation for Office deployment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /t <transform> Specifies the name of the transform (.mst) file. The /i switch is required with the /t switch. When using the /j switch with a transforms file, the /t switch must be used; otherwise the TRANSFORMS property should be used. Example: /t acct.mst /i off9.msi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /wait Wait for the installation to complete before quitting the Setup program. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /webinstall url Set the URL path to install the program from. The URL provided is considered the root of an Office administrative installation point. If Setup.exe determines it was started from Internet Explorer, Setup.exe queries the system to determine what HTTP path it was started from, and this switch is not required. NOTE: To create an administrative installation, you must use an Enterprise edition of Office. IMPORTANT: Installing other applications from an HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP source location is not supported. NOTE: Transforms are not supported from a URL source and must reside either on a network file share or as a stream in the msifile. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /x <msifile> Setup uninstalls Office. The .msi file specified must be the same .msi file used to install Office originally. The .msi file must be in the same folder as Setup.exe. Example: /x ProPlus.msi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------používáte dlouhý název souboru s vloženými mezerami v cestě, naleznete v následujícím článku databáze Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Take Note: Growing Up Silent with author Judith Witmer
We'll introduce you to a simple, science-based diet that could get you off the dieting treadmill, but first...Time Magazine labeled those born between 1925 and 1942 as "the Silent Generation." The 1951 cover story described those who came of age in the 1950s as "grave and fatalistic, conventional, expecting disappointment, and for women, desiring both a career and family." What shaped the so-called Silent Generation and why were they not acknowledged? We'll talk about that with our guest, Judith Thompson Witmer, a graduate of Curwensville High School Class of 1955. She's also an assistant professor of education at Penn State-Harrisburg. Her book, "Growing Up Silent in the 1950s," is self-published.

Summer work goes into high gearJune 24,2013
Road crews have taken advantage of every minute of the recent good weather and projects are really starting to take shape. Local roads are getting a lot of attention across the state as towns and villages gear up as well.
Starting with Interstate 89 we will have five projects affecting traffic this week. In Swanton, deck work on interstate bridges will cause alternating lane closures. Drivers will encounter a 50-mph speed zone and a lane reduction. More bridge work on I-89 in Milton will create lane restrictions and speed reductions. Paving from Waterbury to Richmond is nearing completion. Night work began Sunday and continues through Wednesday. There will be short term ramp closures so watch for the signs. Ledge work continues south of Richmond in the southbound lane. Drivers should expect delays during morning and afternoon commuting hours. Finally, I-89 in Brookfield will have southbound traffic reduced to one lane for bridge deck work.
This week on Interstate 91 five projects will affect traffic flow. A new project in Coventry will affect both north and southbound lanes. In this work zone, lane shifts should be expected as well as speed reduction. In Newbury a paving project in the southbound lane of I-91 will slow traffic with lane reductions and lower speed limits all the way to St. Johnsbury. A bridge project on I-91 in Windsor has southbound traffic crossing over into the northbound lane while bridge construction continues. This project will close Route 44 occasionally while crews work on the bridges above. Finally, a paving project in Brattleboro will continue in both north and southbound lanes. This will create lane restrictions and speed reductions. Delays are expected during morning and afternoon commuting hours.
Vermont Route 108 in Cambridge has a paving project that requires alternating one-lane traffic. Then at the intersection of Vermont Route 108 and Vermont Route 15 drivers will encounter a construction project involving the installation of a roundabout. Next to the roundabout site a bridge replacement project continues on Vermont Route 15; a temporary bridge maintains two-lane traffic through this area.
The District heating project in Montpelier will have crews active on State Street. Traffic control is present in the work zone.
In St. Johnsbury Routes 2 and 2B have bridge projects going on. Both projects have reduced traffic to one lane with speed restrictions in place.
Route 2 in Danville will have the final paving layer going down. Drivers can expect some delays in and around the work zone.
Route 2 in Williston will have night paving going on. This is the final paving between Spear and Willard Streets.
The paving project on Route 12 in Northfield is almost finished. There will be alternating one-lane traffic while crews hand-pave driveways. Further south on Route 12 and 12A crews are finishing up a paving project that goes through the town of Randolph. Drivers going through this work zone should allow extra time during morning and afternoon commuting hours. Route 12 in Hartland and on to Bethel will have sign work construction going on. Minor delays in the morning should be expected.
Route 100 between Waitsfield and Warren still has a paving project that requires a reduction in speed in the work zone.
Vermont Routes 25 and 25B have paving projects that are slowing traffic during afternoon commuting hours.
Route 117 in Essex has a signal replacement project that is slowing traffic during morning commuting hours. Beginning today improvements to the sidewalks and lighting on Lincoln Street (Route 2A) between the cemetery and St. James Place will cause lane closures and short traffic delays between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Traffic control will be present.
Road work on Route 116 in Hinesburg will include guardrail work, more adjusting of manhole covers and catch basin work this week. Alternating one-lane traffic should be expected.
In Huntington paving of the Main Road from the Richmond town line to Bridge 9 just before Texas Hill Road will cause minor delays.

Fayetteville State 2012 Preseason Football Prospectus
Fayetteville State cruises to a 44-23 victory to win for the fourth time in five games
Broncos' freshman QB helps Broncos overcome sloppy play to win 17-7
Bears overcome 22-point deficit to prevail 35-29
Broncos recover from 14-0 deficit to win going away, 49-21
2009 - Named CIAA Special Teams Player of the Year... His 88 points in 2009 were the second most in FSU single-season history. Made a CIAA-best 17 field goals and converted 34-of-37 PAT's.... Booted a 49-yard field goal - the longest in FSU history against Bowie State on Sept. 12.
Austin Turner, a native of San Diego, CA, is a red-shirt sophomore at Fayetteville State University. A transfer from San Diego Mesa College, he is a kicker on the Broncos football team.
After his collegiate debut, Austin Turner was named the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association Specialty Player of the Week. He had five kickoffs for a total of 334 yards and one touchback. He was two-for-two in field goals from 34 and 19 yards out, four-of-four in PAT Kicks, and he punted seven times for 320 yards which averaged 45.7 yards. His longest punt was for 84 yards with three of them landing inside the 20-yard line.
In the Broncos' 30-20 win over Bowie State on Sept. 12, Turner booted a 49-yard field goal which was the longest in FSU history. His performance garnered him a second CIAA Specialty Player of the Week Award.
The CIAA awarded Austin his third POW Award after Fayetteville State defeated Shaw 29-28. During the game, He made two-of-three field goals. The longest of the day was a 40-yarder. He punted nine times for 408 yards which averaged 45.3 yards. Three of them were inside the 20 and one was for a touchback. His longest punt was for 60 yards. Turner had six kickoffs that averaged 62.7 yards with two touchbacks.
Austin Turner has set a school record at Fayetteville State for the most field goals in a season (17) and his 89 points are the second most in FSU single-season history. He has connected on 38-of-42 PAT's and was perfect in nine games. Turner had 65 punts and averaged 39.2 yards for the season. Twenty punts were inside the 20-yard line while nine were 50+ yards. Ten punts were called for a fair-catch and four were touchbacks. His longest punt was for an 84-yarder.
Austin was 17-of-32 in field goals which includes his record-breaking 49-yards. With 68 kick-offs, he averaged 61 yards per kick. Seven of his kick-offs was touchbacks while only one of kicks sailed out-of-bounds.
For all of his efforts, the conference named Austin Turner the 2009 CIAA Special Teams Player of the Year.
Prior to the season, Head Coach Kenny Phillips stated that the missing link to Fayetteville State's success during the 2008 season was the kicker position. He continued that he had a secret weapon in Austin Turner and that the 2009 CIAA Football Championship had to come through Murchison Road. The Broncos defeated Bowie State University 21-10 in Durham, North Carolina for the conference crown. FSU also represented the conference in the NCAA Playoffs.
"Before Austin leaves here, he'll probably own every kicking record at the university," head coach Kenny Phillips said. "He is going to turn out to be the best kicker to ever kick at this university."

Sacramento, California
August 9-12, 2004

In all, he would make five birdies on his first nine, making consecutive birdies on Nos. 13 and 14, and then again on Nos. 16 and 17, recording a front-side 33. On his final nine, Green made two birdies including a chip-in on his final hole, No. 9, for a back-side 34, and first-round 67.âI got off to a good start on my front-nine and made a lot of birdies,â Green said. âI hit my wedges solid and my short game really helped me score today.âCachoâs first-round 67 was keyed by an eagle on the par-5 8th hole. After making back-to-back birdies on holes Nos. 6 and 7, he hit his second shot 5-iron to within five feet and sank the putt for eagle.
