I have a brand new medela free style pump. My son is going 6 hours between feedings at night and only nurses on one side when he wakes up so I pump the other and save for when I return to work. I noticed that I have to rest for a minute then start pumping again in order to get the milk out, and even then I only get about 4 ounces, sometimes pumping that one side for 30 minutes (with compressions and massage at the same time).
I want to make sure I don't hurt my supply when I go back. I'll be working from 7-3, with a half hour drive to and from work. I could probably pump for two 15 minute sessions as well as two 30 minute sessions each day (pumping while driving won't work, because I really need to massage and compress to get the milk out.) I don't know if it would be necessary to pump this often or not. I'm sure I'll have to try it out and see, but I'd love to hear from other moms!

Things That Are Worse Than France
Say what ya want about the mighty market divas of the Yankees, the Red Sox, the Dodgers. Go ahead and hate on A-Rod, slam Manny, spit on Youk… whatevs. Sometimes they deserve it; sometimes they don't. It's all a part of professional sports.
But no matter how infantile and annoying MLB superstars can be (yes, I'm looking at you, Milton Bradley), none of them quite qualify as being as toxically asinine as Nicolas Anelka and his band of busted b!tches that once formed the French national soccer team.
You think Roberto Alomar spitting on John Hirschbeck was bad? Imagine Roberto Alomar spitting on John Hirschbeck during the World Series, with a big nasty particle-filled loogey, and all his teammates joining in.
Yeah. That's sorta what France's World Cup was like. But at least it's over. And now we can think about… things that are worse than France. For instance:
The Pirates
Duh. You knew that was comin'.
Rob Blagojevich's Image
For all of you who live outside of Illinois, be glad you do; 'cuz this Blago crap is just now gettin' started for real. The lego hair, the smarmy and disingenuous smile, the creepy way he talks to every woman as if she were a dumb, money-chasin, cheap-trick-happy cocktail waitress… this dude is going to the joint. Eventually.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzsubliminalmessagegivemeyourmoneyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
The Royals
You knew that was comin' too.
Justin Bieber
It makes me sick that he was in my neighborhood. It makes me even more sick to know that he was at Sox Park. And it makes me Bush-Sr-Throwin-Up-On-Japanese-People sick to know he tossed the first pitch to Mark Buehrle!
And finally…
The Astros
You didn't think this could end with anything worse, did you? I'm pretty sure I heard the Astros' team on-base-percentage was the worse on-base-percentage in the history of time, including all dimensions — even those we are unaware of yet…
That's why they're called the LOLstros.
Hate me. Just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

My daughter has 'Bieber Fever' and it makes me sick. I don't let her listen to that in the house…not when I'm around anyway..
'Minoring In Baseball'
Add The Dodgers performance tonight against the Angels.
Two errors by Furcal and the 9th inning was the worst. Kemp being pickeup at second. Manny not scoring from 1st on a double. Russell being throwing out when the tying run was about to score in the 9th inning. 8 hits and only one run. They got beat by themselves. Can you tell how frustrated I am and the Yankees are coming to town. Without question a low point in the season.
Mike — I'm sorry for you, man, but I definitely am impressed with you laying down the law like that. I see a Father of the Year Award in your future.
Emma — I know how you feel, as the Cards have had similar poor runs already this year…. Torre had to be tearing his hair out… but I don't think he has any.
I wonder if my parents felt the same way about Beatlemania as Mike feels about Bieber Fever? All I know is that I loved Paul McCartney with a…fever.
Jane, admittedly, I was the same way with Debbie Gibson (don't tell anyone though. that was a long, long time ago)
I'm a Chelsea fan, but Anelka makes me sick. On a different note, Vuvuzelas…Ugh.
It seems Italy as as bad if not worse than France, but more importantly if the LOLstros are the worst of the worse than France, what does that make the teams the LOLstros sweep…. just asking…:-)
Phillies Outside
Sun-Ui — Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
Peter — Well, I don't know…. you mean FIRST PLACE? Cuz yeah, that's where that team is. Can't say so much for the Phils these days🙂
uggg part of me (granted a very small part) is glad that we're out of the world cup so i dont have to pay attention to the World Cup and hear those d@mned vuvuzelas

Wisconsin DNR reminds hunters of CWD holiday hunt
State wildlife officials are reminding gun hunters they have one last chance to kill deer this season in south central Wisconsin's chronic wasting disease management zone.
The so-called Holiday Hunt will start on Dec. 24 in the zone and run through the end of the late bow season on Jan. 6. Hunters can take deer with any legal firearm, bow or crossbow. Bow hunters must wear blaze orange.
The state Department of Natural Resources says the goal of the hunt is to give hunters more opportunity and control the herd in the zone, a roughly triangular territory that extends approximately from the Illinois border northwest to Vernon and Juneau counties.

Watts Pick to Hit Pop Up Content
Diamonds in the Rough
Edwin Watts golf offers some superb products that you definitely don't want to overlook. If they didn't get there deserved share of media fanfare when first coming to the market, then now is your chance to prosper. They're great pieces of equipment that can really boost your game and lower your score. And regardless of if they've been out in the market for a while of brand new to it, our Watts Experts have tested them out in the field and found them to be more than worthwhile. So here are some Diamonds In The Rough that will keep you out of the rough. We've found these gems to be terrific values for your game. We highly suggest you give them strong consideration.
The Ping i25 Irons are engineered for a variety of skill levels with technology that provides versatility and forgiveness. In the progressive set design, each 17-4 stainless steel head has a specific function with regard to the center of gravity, the bounce, and the offset. The result is highly forgiving long irons and controlled short irons, which will bring confidence to your shot-making.
From the 3-iron through the lob wedge, the i25 irons are engineered to look and perform as a complete set. They offer a progressive set design. In the long irons, the heads are bigger and the soles wider for launching the ball high with maximum forgiveness. The mid irons and wedges are more compact, with thinner top rails and narrower soles to promote a lower ball flight for hitting greens with precision.
The custom tuning port (CTP) sits lower in the head to locate the CG low to optimize launch conditions. Concealing the CTP also creates a clean, appealing design. A high-density tungsten toe weight elevates the MOI, stabilizing the head on mis-hit shots. This means less twisting of the club head and more energy transferred to the ball. The heads are compact, with a machined face and grooves, a satin chrome finish, and pleasing lines that speak to quality and attention to detail.
Price promotion(s) are valid on Internet and Phone orders only. Due to manufacturer restrictions, offers exclude select new release and other select products.
Free Shipping means Free FedEx SmartPost on orders over the amount specified by the promotion and valid during shipping promotion offer dates only. Redeemable on Internet and phone orders only. Offer valid in the Continental U.S. only. $6.99 Flat Rate shipping means FedEx SmartPost Shipping in the Continental U.S on qualifying orders (excludes orders with Ping hardgoods and oversized items like bags, travel covers, carts and full-sets). Manufacturer restrictions may apply. Golf bags, travel covers, carts and full-sets are excluded from any Free Shipping promotion and Flat Rate shipping.

How many times we have to go down at the end of a close game with Melo taking a jump shot?
We only needed 1 point to send it to the OT. And what does our coach do? Even my dog knew who was going to take the last shot.
What an ugly game and what an ugly finish. We could still win this game as DRose was just terrible, lucky rainbow shot at the end, Tyson missing a critical free throw.
We are too predictible on the offensive end. Cant beat top teams that way.

More Pictures from the InsidetheDodgers Tour
Here are more of the pictures I took from the InsidetheDodgers tour.
Here is me being Joe. I even tried to put my hat on like Joe.
The Dodger bullpen. Josh Rawitch in the picture.
Carol and a fan wearing Ethier's NL All-Star jersey walking to the seats behind homeplate. Did you know that those seats are closer to homeplate than the pitcher is?
Vin Scully picture inside the Vin Scully Press Box.
In the media area. The one in the white jersey is ITD (InsidetheDodgers) poster Khali.
ITD poster Perumike and his beautiful wife
Josh Rawitch is showing us Dodger organist Nancy Bea's area. She receives flowers from fans including those orchids to the right. See the plaque to the left says in the next picture.
Here is what the plaque reads. This is one thing I did not read on prior tours.
The View from Vin Scully's booth. The shades is drawn down a bit so you can't see the mountains that he so poetically talks about during the broadcast.
Did not notice this board in Vin Scully's booth before. There is a Babe Ruth cartoon from a newspaper at the top that reads "$#$$$ cheaters", Brooklyn Dodger announcer Red Barber advertising Schaefer beer, Tommy Lasorda on a camel (poor camel you say?) , old pictures of the old Dodgertown in Vero Beach and other pictures.
Fans looking at the view of the stadium from one of the suites
Inside the suite, The pool table there was used for the 60's Rat Pack black and white poster with all the Dodger coaches.
Frank Sinatra's seats (4) and a mural of him in this suite.
I will end this here. I do have more pictures but the next post will be of black and white pictures of Brooklyn Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. Hope you all enjoyed the virtual tour.

Emma, great pictures in the last two posts. The ITD tour looks like a lot of fun. I know what you mean about noticing different things each time. I love the quirky shots of all the little details, though I can't believe you actually took a picture of the bathroom!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Fabulous pictures, keep it going. Very much appreciated.
PS: You smile too much trying to be like JT in the dugout.
of course that makes the picture better!
Thanks so much!
Thanks Sue! haha about the bathroom. No way Sue Falsone, the Dodgers physical theraphist uses that!
Thanks Koufax63!
I should have done one sleeping against that rail. That would have been funny. Next tour.
Thanks for the tour. My favorite pic was the one of you being Joe in the dugout. Very cute!
But if they want me to manage they better get me a better bathroom! LOL.
You know it blows being swept by the Padres. Man! Dodgers have been shutout 16 times! Leave it to the Dodgers.
Emma: Wow Vin Scully sure has a lovely view. I see why he's been doing this for an eternity, lol. Great pics, as always!
Vin sure has a lovely view. The only thing is that it gets hot there. Thanks Virginia!
I am in Jury Duty in downtown. I've been waiting in this room but they already called some of us to report to the 9th floor after lunch. Is 11:50 and we report there at 1:30. They told us the 9th floor is the other room besides the first floor where you come in where it has security check. I wonder why…. I'll find out why after lunch.
Still make it a priority to take those Stadium Tours every time I hit a new stadium. Not only do you hear and see behind-the-curtain stories and events, but you also get to have your own moment within that bit of history ( sometimes).
Still impressed me when I took the tour in Seattle and saw a photo of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig fishing off Pass-a-Grille Beach, which is 5 miles from my front door.
Tours remind us of just how close these moments are within our grasp, and we might have not even known it.
Rays Renegade
I have only taken the tour one in Fenway. I should have taken the one at Wrigley Field.
Still, 5 miles awayRays? Wow!
You definitely fit in behind the scenes there, Emma. Perhaps that's your calling? I dunno… one can always dream, eh?
Maybe we should try a she-fan to manage the Dodgers…for one inning just like they let Vin Scully manage an inning from above many years ago.
Vin Scully's clip board tell a thousand stories alone! That stuff let's you into his mind! Love it.
Funny that in prior tours, I did not notice the clip board. I love it too! An you are right, it tells a thousand stories! When I got home and saw the pictures, I noticed more things in there that I had not when I saw it personally. I love it!
I am going to ask you about a black and white picture I saw about a Brooklyn Dodger that I don't know who he is. I will post the picture on another post.
What great pics, and what a great experience. Thanks for sharing.

March 27, 2013 —
It's a wonderful privilege to be invited to take up the mantle of the inimitable Marcia Nehemiah and to write about sustainability for the readers of The River Reporter. I hope to bring you useful information and to inspire you with the positive, practical and visionary work being done in Sullivan County and around the world as we address the intertwined challenges of climate change, environmental responsibility and sustainable economic development.
I should start by attempting to define what I mean by "sustainability." It's an elusive concept, dependent on context. In ecology, sustainable biological systems are those that "remain diverse and productive over time." The U.N.'s definition links social, environmental and economic concerns and speaks of "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
Not everyone loves this word. Some proponents of organic farming see its use in the 2008 Farm Bill as diluting the principles of organic growing, a way for big agriculture to get in on the action by merely reducing their use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. A truly organic standard would have prohibited them. At the other end of the spectrum are the climate change skeptics and those who fear that sustainable living demands that we renounce all of the conveniences of modern life.
I am drawn to the word "sustainable" as an overarching philosophy, a principle to apply to everyday decisions, a metaphor for how we relate to people and things, a sort of Unified Theory of Life both spiritual and pragmatic. As a philosophy for viewing my personal choices as well as larger cultural trends, it links conservation, historic preservation, ecology, food, health, environmental justice and the economy. Far from calling for a rejection of modern life, it prompts me to consider what I imagine modern life should be, and what kind of footprint I want to leave for future generations to build upon—or to clean up after.
It's a universal question. Even the characters of Downton Abbey are embroiled in a sustainability dilemma: What do we have to change in order to keep what we value? And are we willing to make those changes?
These values came into focus for me this past Christmas, when I had a sort of sustainability epiphany. My husband and I invited two other couples for our customary Christmas Eve feast and, after a happy day of cooking came that wonderful moment when we all gathered at the table. As we passed the serving dishes, it dawned on me that this timeless tradition illustrated my own idea of sustainability in a nutshell. We do it without thinking. It's as natural as breathing: each guest takes a portion, instinctively measuring how much to take so as to leave plenty for the others. Even if roasted potatoes are a guest's favorite, he would never empty the dish and leave none for the others. We make sure everyone is served, and there is plenty for us all.
What I want for my family and dear friends, I want for others, for the whole world.
I wouldn't take all of the potatoes. Neither would you.
Could it be that simple? It's a start.

In one of my previous tirades, I mentioned the fact that the current president is a product of the Chicago political system. However, I didn't go into the details regarding the meaning of the Chicago political system.
First and foremost it is one of the if not the most corrupt city governments in this country. The Chicago political system is a one party system dominated by a political boss-controlled Democratic Party political machine that has seized power and exerts control to continue political domination.
This type of a system inherently breeds corruption. To maintain the control various forms of coercion and "arm twisting" are used. Bribery, pay-offs and kickbacks are quite common. In addition it is notorious for operating in secret. Anything goes when it comes to maintaining control or silencing enemies a.k.a. political opponents or anyone who disagrees. It should also be noted that Chicago has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the U.S. and also one of the highest murder rates.
Now let's look at the record of the current president. Remember the Louisiana Purchase and the Cornhusker Kickback associated with the passage of Obamacare? Louisiana received an additional 300 million in Medicaid funding and Nebraska received $100 million to obtain the vote of two Democratic senators who were wavering on voting for the bill. Don't tell me that isn't just plain bribery.
Consider the Solyndra affair. This so called "green energy" company that went belly up after receiving $535 million in stimulus loans. It just so happens that Solyndra's largest shareholder donated $53,000 dollars to the current president's 2008 campaign. Shareholders and executives of Solyndra have donated or fundraised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the current administration. Sure smells like kickbacks to me.
Now let's look at the anything goes category. First I can cite the use of the Internal Revenue Service to harass and punish the Tea Parties and other conservative groups. Using a department of government to harass and punish is a typical Chicago tactic. How about the Justice Department obtaining the phone records of Fox News and A.P. reporters without sufficient cause. This violates both the First and Fourth Amendments i.e. freedom of the press and unreasonable search and seizure. The current president didn't know anything about these actions. Yeah, right. If anyone is naive enough to believe this, I have a bridge in Brooklyn N.Y. I would like to sell them.
Let's not forget all the electronic snooping the NSA is doing in the name of national security? The NSA was established to monitor electronically foreign governments considered hostile to the U.S. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. However when they began indiscriminate surveillance of American citizens, it becomes a different story. It violates both the right to privacy and fourth amendment rights.
The average American has no comprehension regarding the surveillance capability of the NSA concerning cell phones and computers. To the NSA any computer connected to the internet is an open book. They can collect email, chat, videos, photos, stored data, file transfers, video conferencing, logins etc. Cell phones are a piece of cake.
So what does all this mean? I will give my opinion. First and foremost, I do not trust the current president and his cronies. Their ongoing anti gun policies are designed to ultimately disarm all law abiding American citizens.
They have the IRS to harass and enforce and the NSA. to monitor anybody or everybody that uses a cell phone or the internet. Last but not least they have Homeland Security, which is morphing into a national police force, for control and subjugation. To understand the end result I suggest reading or rereading George Orwell's 1984. Apparently I am not alone in this thinking. As a result of recent revelations, Amazon reports an 85 % increase in sales of this novel and "Big Sis" denies the existence of an Orwellian state.

A childhood favorite for kids and adults alike is coming to town.
The Children's Museum of La Crosse is setting up a traveling exhibit featuring Curious George.
It will showcase his mischief giving kids a chance to learn while playing. That will include activities that teach math, engineering, and science.
The museum expects it could be something parents enjoy too. "It really does reach a pretty wide audience of age groups beyond the learning opportunities, just seeing the characters and feeling that nostalgia about the character," said Marketing Director Leanne Poellinger.
The exhibit opens on Saturday and will stay at the museum through the middle of May.

So there we were, on our annual company retreat. One of the highlights of our year. A chance for the whole Here Comes The Guide staff to be together, get some hard work done, and just hang out.
The good news: we were at Woods Hole in Pebble Beach. Gorgeous location, comfortable home perfect for our retreat, right on the ocean. We were getting lots of good work done and enjoying each other's company.
The bad news: 5 of the 8 us, including me, were very sick. We had The Flu. I, for one, can't remember being that sick.
Then, the most wonderful thing happened. Through the front door swooped the lovely staff from Tarpy's Roadhouse, there to make our dinner. But more than that, they took care of us. They made us tea, they served us in front of the TV so we could watch Glee and they whipped up fantastic, comforting food: a salad with apples, pecans and gorgonzola, steak and garlic mashed potatoes, Chilean sea bass with a mango relish and, finally, strawberry shortcake—yum!
Afterward, they cleaned up while we all limped to bed. Still sick, but cared for and comforted.
Yes, the food was great, but the love they delivered with it was just what this sniffly group needed. If they can perform that kind of miracle off-site, imagine what they can do at their very own location. Thanks, Tarpy's!

You've done it—you found "the dress." Now it's time to pull the rest of your look together. Before you proceed, it's useful to identify which shade of white your dress really is so that you can begin to add the finishing touches like jewelry, shoes, and hair accessories.. (This article should help.)
"Your accessories work best together if they are in the same color family, and have the same tones," says Lisa Levine of Perfect Details, a Burlingame boutique and online shop specializing in bridal jewelry, wedding shoes and other fashion accessories. "You'll almost never get an exact color match, so a little lighter or darker is fine and actually adds texture and dimension."
There's one exception to this rule: "Mixing different shades of white and ivory is not recommended." Ivory tends to range from cream to slightly yellow, depending on the fabric or material. And the hues don't play well together. If you're unsure of what coordinating pieces to choose for your white dress, Lisa has a stylish solution:"This season there are many dazzling silver and gold accessories…why not go for the shimmer?"

Cigars and poker chips are usually props for a night of revelry, but in 1938 Manila, they set the scene for government officials and American Jewish businessmen to rescue 1,200 Jews from Nazi Europe.
Rescue in the Philippines: Refuge from the Holocaust, a documentary which airs on WHYY April 7 and 8, tells the story of Jewish brothers in Cincinnati who saw a way to use their cigar business and political connections to save German and Austrian Jews at the start of the war.
The Frieder brothers, of S. Frieder & Sons, which later relocated to Philadelphia, took turns manning their company's operation in the Philippines, where their poker buddies included Paul McNutt, the U.S. High Commissioner of the Philippines; Manuel Quezon, Philippine president; and Dwight D. Eisenhower, who was stationed there at the time. In 1938, the brothers reached an agreement with McNutt to allow Jews to immigrate to the Philippines on the condition that the Jewish community in the Asian country would guarantee their financial support.
"Whatever Frieder was in the Philippines really had three responsibilities," said Sam Frieder, a Huntingdon Valley resident who was 2 years old when his father, Herbert, moved the family to the country. "One, they had to be president of the temple. Two, they had to be in charge of the agency that helped getting Jews out and three, they had to try and take care of the business."
One of the refugees saved by the immigration program tells his and others' stories in a 2003 book, Escape to Manila: From Nazi Tyranny to Japanese Terror. Some of the Jews who escaped Germany later died in the 1945 Battle of Manila.
Sam Frieder, who is interviewed in the documentary, said he enjoyed the film, which received some of its funding from his family, because it focuses on the refugees who were saved. After the book was published, he said relatives asked why they hadn't heard about the brothers' efforts, and that question led to the documentary.
"It's good that the next generation can see the tzedakah their uncles and grandparents were doing," said Frieder. "And hopefully, they will emulate that."

Duke Scores 21 Goals on 29 Shots, Defeats Ohio State in Season Opener
from press release
DURHAM, N.C. – Duke's offense was firing on all cylinders as the fourth-ranked Blue Devil women's lacrosse team opened the 2011 campaign with a 21-9 victory over Ohio State from Koskinen Stadium Saturday afternoon.
Duke (1-0) totaled 21 goals on 29 shots while also tying a program single-game high with 13 assists. The Blue Devils' 34 points against the Buckeyes is just two shy of the program record set against LeMoyne in 2007.
"I really was pleased," head coach Kerstin Kimel said. "The biggest thing coming into the game for us was to be able to set the tone from the first whistle, and I thought we did that. That is a testament to our upperclassmen and the leadership we have on the field. I thought they did an awesome job of setting the tone right away."
In total, five Blue Devils tallied three or more goals in the contest, led by junior Kat Thomas and redshirt junior Emma Hamm with four each. Hamm (4g, 2a), along with senior Christie Kaestner (3g, 3a), also led the team in points for the game with six, while sophomore Makenzie Hommel and redshirt freshman Maddie Salamone both marked their first career starts with three goals each. Senior Sarah Bullard (2g, 1 a), senior Virginia Crotty (1g, 3a) and sophomore Jackie Klauberg (1g) rounded out the Duke goal scorers.
Duke opened the scoring on its first possession as Hamm, who returns this season after missing 2010 due to injury, notched the first score of the season for the Blue Devils. Duke never looked back from that point on, building a 9-1 advantage with 16:30 remaining in the opening period.
After Ohio State narrowed the margin to 9-5, Duke responded with another run to take a 14-5 lead into the intermission. The Buckeyes struck first to begin the second half, yet the remainder of the game belonged to the Blue Devils, who built a 20-6 lead before Ohio State scored three goals with under eight minutes to play.
Junior Mollie Mackler, who also returns to the line up after missing a part of last season to injury, started in goal for the Blue Devils and made eight saves to earn the win.
The Blue Devils resume the 2011 schedule next weekend with home games on both Friday and Sunday. Duke takes on Richmond at 7 p.m., Friday, Feb. 18 before entertaining William & Mary at 1 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 20.

GMP to get $17.8 million from Entergy
BRATTLEBORO Entergy Nuclear has a parting gift for its former Vermont customers.
In a letter sent to Green Mountain Power late last week, Entergy announced it would be sending $17.8 million to the states largest utility as part of the revenue-sharing agreement the state had struck with Entergy during its 2002 purchase of Vermont Yankee.
The money comes from higher-than-expected energy prices Entergy received from the sale of power from Vermont Yankee this winter on the open market, said GMP spokeswoman Kristin Carlson.
Carlson said the $17.8 million would go back to the utilitys ratepayers, although in what form was still being worked out between Green Mountain and the Department of Public Service.
Carlson said GMP does not buy power from Vermont Yankee.
She said the $17.8 million represented 2.89 percent of its annual $615 million revenue.
The revenue-sharing agreement went into effect only after Vermont Yankees original permit to operate expired in 2012, and is triggered after the price of electricity rises to more than $61 per megawatt-hour.
The little-known provision in the 2002 sales agreement was the work of current Public Service Board Chairman James Volz, who at the time was the director of advocacy for the Department of Public Service; Sarah Hofmann, an attorney for the department, who is now the executive director of the New England Conference of Public Utility Commissioners; and the states former nuclear engineer, William Sherman, who is now a retired Russian Orthodox priest, living in Vermont.
As recently as 2008, the state estimated the revenue-sharing agreement, if Vermont Yankee continued to operate for 10 years after 2012, could mean $750 million for Green Mountain Power and Central Vermont Public Service, which was purchased by GMP in 2012.
In a letter from Marc Potkin, vice president of power marketing for Entergy Wholesale Commodities in White Plains, N.Y., dated April 24, Potkin said the companys calculations put the revenue-sharing amount at $17,886,739.49 for the period between March 13, 2013, and March 12 this year.
Entergy Nuclear spokesman Robert Williams declined to say whether the state could expect another check before Vermont Yankee shuts down at the end of this year.
Potkins letter notes that the $17.8 million is 50 percent of the excess revenue. According to the agreement, Entergy gets to keep the other 50 percent.
This is great news for our customers as we work to keep costs down, said GMP President Mary Powell in a statement. GMP has already committed to no increase in base rates until 2016. This good news just ensures that rates can go lower and stay low for a couple of years.
Powell said double-digit increases were being experienced in other states and New York.
This agreement negotiated in 2002 will provide a benefit in the form of lower rates. We are working right now with state regulators on the best way to return this money to customers to reduce rates.
Christopher Recchia, the commissioner of the Department of Public Service, said in the same statement that he was pleased the revenue will go directly to benefit GMP ratepayers.
Green Mountain Power now provides power to about 70 percent of all Vermonters.
Recchia said Entergy usually sells Vermont Yankees power via long-term contracts, but because it is closing this year, it sold power on the open market, resulting in the substantial windfall.
Recchia said power prices on the open market were unusually high due to the bitter cold winter. These unique circumstances triggered the revenue-sharing provision.

It was about remembering the past, learning about a man who served Hawaii so well, and passing on his spirit.
"They weren't that excited to wake up that early in the morning," said Joyce Brubaker, knowing it was important for her family, all three generations, to be at the National Memorial Cemetery at Punchbowl.
For her son Chris, its significance was already soaking in.
"It's kind of awesome that I get to go the funeral of this guy who did so much for everyone," said Chris.
As the cannons blasted, and the crowd of camera-filled arms went up, came the casket, so close, it was within inches of the people he served for most of his life.
"We were raised together and had a lot of fun together," said Michael Inouye, who is Inouye's cousin.
"There are a lot of memories that I can never forget," he said.
"Why was it so important for you to be here today?" asked KITV reporter Lara Yamada.
"Respect," answered Bob Segal, a Korean War veteran.
"I was in combat in Korea, he was in World War II so we are brothers and we walk the same line," he said.
"We will never know how much he's done until people have to read about it," said Alohanani Jamias. For her it meant welcoming the senator to his final resting place, not far from her parents lie too.
"All I've known is him being in Congress and the absence of him being there will be a big loss, so 'aloha' from all of us," she said.
It is the kind of farewell that comes from Hawaii and its people, for a man who will forever be, more than just a memory.
"I think maybe five years from now, 10 years from now, they'll appreciate it that they came," said Brubaker.

Two faculty members honored by ESP students
Posted on March 25, 2013
Two faculty members were honored by students in the Educational Support Program at an annual luncheon March 22 in the Alumni House.
Dave Huizen, assistant professor of occupational safety and health management, and Regina McClinton, director of the Intercultural Training Program, were named professors of the year. ESP students nominate a faculty member who was influencial and instrumental to their success. ESP, a TRiO program, provides resources and support to first-generation and underrepresented students.
Student awards were given to those with the highest and most improved GPAs, and students graduating in the winter and fall semesters were recognized.
Mike Messner, director of the Student Academic Success Center, said the ESP students were successful because of the collaboration at Grand Valley from staff and faculty members like Huizen and McClinton.
"You are the folks who push our students through the barriers that might come up and help them succeed," Messner said.
Messner added that the six-year graduation rate for the ESP cohort was 72 percent. Also, 96 percent of ESP students are in good academic standing and the program had a persistance rate of 98 percent, according to statistics from the 2011-2012 reporting year.
The keynote speaker at the luncheon was Rosalynn Bliss, Grand Rapids city commissioner. Bliss, who also works for D.A. Blodgett-St. John's as director of residential services, relayed her story of growing up in Sault Ste. Marie and moving by herself to Mobile, Alabama, to attend the University of South Alabama.
"My wish for you is to continue to use your will to succeed to positively impact your communities and neighborhoods," Bliss said.

Sweet Dreams
As your body adjusts to its sudden hormonal and physical changes you will find that sleep is not as easy as it once used to be. With heartburn, leg cramps, frequent urination, crazy dreams, and your increased size, a good night's sleep can become a distant memory.
Tips for getting a good night's sleep:
Getting comfortable:
Pillows, Pillows and more Pillows - Did I mention pillows? Use pillows everywhere. Under your belly, legs, arms, behind your back. As your body grows you will soon find that pillows will become your best friend.
Sleep on your left side - This is said to be the best position for pregnant women to sleep in. Sleeping on your left side helps blood and nutrients flow to the fetus and uterus and helps the kidneys eliminate waste and fluids.
Nearing the end - As you near the end of your pregnancy, you may find that sleeping flat is just not going to happen. Elevating your upper body with pillows will help your breathing, as will raising the head of your bed by placing blocks under the mattress. Some moms find it more comfortable to sleep in a recliner during the last few weeks of pregnancy.
Experiment - Don't be afraid to experiment with different sleep positions. With the help of an understanding partner and a lot of pillows, you're sure to find one that is just right for you!

The surplus electrical energy will be supplied to the grid. Eventually such machines will produce enough energy to eliminate human reliance on fossil fuels, as well as make it feasible for giant helium-filled, rocket-powered dirigible aircraft to be created.

Three thousand years ago, God commanded Isaiah to proclaim that His people were disobedient. They had not listened to gain knowledge and could not understand; their eyes and ears were closed, and their hearts were hardened. (See Isaiah 6:9-10) A thousand years later, John the Baptist came preaching to a nation of hard hearts, opening the way for Jesus, who preached to the same hard-hearted people.
Those people were spiritually blind and deaf because they had refused God and had no faith. They had continually turned from the Lord, and He hardened their hearts. But Jesus desired for them to come to Him to be healed with forgiveness of their sins.
Jesus taught His disciples: "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand." (Luke 8:10) Paul wrote, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes so that they could not see and ears so that they could not hear, to this very day." (Romans 11:8)
Hebrews 11:1 says, "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." In other words, faith is the confirmation of things we hope for, the proof of what we do not see, and the conviction of their reality. Faith discerns what is not revealed to human senses. Therefore, faith is the trust and holy passion that gives birth to the divine testimony in our hearts.
When the Lord calls us to His Grace and Apostleship, He places us under the authority of His Spirit in order to fulfill His purpose in us. He gives us faith because He loves us and wants us to become what He intends us to be. That faith produces the fruit of obedience, the desire of God carried out in our lives.
Choate Baptist Church welcomes you to join us for Sunday School at 9:45 a.m., Morning Worship at 11 a.m., our Sunday Evening Service at 7 p.m., and our Wednesday Evening Prayer Meeting at 7 p.m. Brother Odom's message can also be heard on Radio KAML 990 AM each Sunday morning at 8:30.

Got this "just in case" and ended up needing it Memorial Day Wk. Over 8 days, we jump started a boat 4 times without recharging the POD X5 once. No problem every time, on an I/o 260 hp Mercruiser gas engine. Father-in-law couldn't believe it the first time, since the POD is so small. He immediately asked me to order him one, and my wife wants one to live in the boat so I've got two more on the way. It is an impressive new battery technology. Haven't needed it for my truck yet, I've got it.

On March 1, 16 rain gauges and 18 stream gauges used to measure water flows in rivers and streams throughout New York's Marcellus Shale region will be turned off.
The U.S. Geological Survey can't afford to operate the gauges anymore. Long depended upon as reliable sources of information, the gauges are useful in predicting floods and tracking river flows over time. Stream flow gauges also alert officials to when a stream's water level becomes too low to support aquatic life. Losing these data collectors couldn't come at a worse time for New York communities, many of which are still reeling from the effects of recent floods. And, as the state closes in on developing regulations for Marcellus Shale development, losing these key sources of information could prove detrimental to dozens of streams and rivers in the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes areas, in the exact places where gas drilling would most likely occur according to a statement made by Governor Cuomo's administration last summer.
New Yorkers deserve to have more information about what's happening in their local waterways, not less. All that is needed to continue operating these gauges is $215,000. Given the kind of extreme weather the state has experienced in recent years, it's imperative that water levels in local streams and rivers be monitored closely, for state and local officials and residents, and for the trout and other species that rely upon adequate and consistent stream flows.
In the state's draft Marcellus Shale regulations and also in its rules governing water withdrawals, New York points to these gauges as a critical part of its plan to manage and oversee potential impacts of drilling-related water withdrawals on rivers and streams. Taking more than 30 gauges out of operation on rivers and streams in key counties in the Marcellus Shale region is shortsighted and could prove damaging to rivers, streams and aquatic life.
If and when Marcellus Shale development happens in New York, state regulators, residents and the gas and oil companies themselves will need detailed, real time information about what is happening in local waters. If too much water is taken out of a river or stream and used for gas drilling, these gauges would document the activity, setting off an alarm with state officials.
These gauges are located in the Susquehanna River Basin, in the Finger Lakes and the Southern Tier, where Marcellus drilling, if allowed in New York, is most likely to occur. If anything, more resources should be put into gathering information about the state's natural resources at this critical juncture. New York just needs to be reminded of Pennsylvania's experience with water withdrawals where fish kills were caused on at least two streams that were de-watered to feed the needs of a gas company.
Removing the gauges would turn river management into a guessing game, where residents and local communities would be left with very little information about what's happening in their local waters.
New York should be proud of the steps it has taken to improve its water resources management in the past year. However, removing these gauges now—in the face of potential gas drilling and in light of recent floods—would be taking New York's water management program a step backward. Federal and state decision makers must find some way to fund these valuable tools before turning their backs on the communities that rely on these gauges to protect local streams and rivers.
[Ron Urban is the chairman of NY Trout Unlimited and a resident of Port Ewen, NY.]

- Title
- Dairy constituents and neurocognitive health in ageing
- Author(s)
- Camfield, David A.; Owen, Lauren; Scholey, Andrew B.; Pipingas, Andrew; Stough, Con
- Abstract
- Age-related cognitive decline (ARCD) and dementia are of increasing concern to an ageing population. In recent years, there has been considerable research focused on effective dietary interventions that may prevent or ameliorate ARCD and dementia. While a number of studies have considered the impact that dairy products may have on physiological health, particularly with regard to the metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular health, further research is currently needed in order to establish the impact that dairy products have in the promotion of healthy brain function during ageing. The present review considers the available evidence for the positive effects of dairy products on the metabolic syndrome and glucose regulation, with consideration of the implications for neurocognitive health. A literature search of current (September 2010) meta-analyses/reviews and original research regarding dairy products and cognition was conducted through SCOPUS using the following search terms for dairy consituents: dairy, milk, cheese, yoghurt, probiotics, whey protein, alpha lactalbumin, calcium, B-12, bioactive peptides and colostrinin (CLN). These search terms for dairy products were combined with the following search terms related to cognition and health: cognition, cognitive decline, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, insulin resistance and glucose regulation. Concerns regarding SFA and other fatty acids found in dairy products are also reviewed in relation to different forms of dairy products. The review also considers recent evidence for positive neurocognitive effects associated with bioactive peptides, CLN and proline-rich polypeptides, α-lactalbumin, vitamin B12, calcium and probiotics. Future directions for the extraction and purification of beneficial constituents are also discussed. It is concluded that low-fat dairy products, when consumed regularly as part of a balanced diet, may have a number of beneficial outcomes for neurocognitive health during ageing.

Two decades of breeding on the Upper Delaware
May 29, 2013 —
People who come to visit the Upper Delaware region frequently want to know where they can see eagles. Bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) can be found year round in the region, with winter being the better time due to the influx of migrant eagles from Canada. They can also be seen in the summer, but most of these are resident breeding eagles and their offspring, which fledge in early July.
Resident, breeding bald eagles abound in our region, with nearly 20 breeding pair in the 73-mile stretch of river between Port Jervis and Hancock, NY, thanks to efforts by state wildlife agencies and volunteer citizen groups. But there was a time when eagles were a rare sight; I grew up in the region and never saw one in the wild during that time (1960s and '70s). The effects of DDT had almost extirminated our national symbol from New York State and Pennsylvania.
New York started re-introduction of bald eagles in 1976, headed by biologist Peter Nye, but it wasn't until 1993 when the first pair of eagles was spotted on the Upper Delaware River. The pair was unsuccessful in breeding during the first two years, but the third year was a charm, with three young successfully fledged. In 1998, a second pair established a territory within the Upper Delaware corridor, and there has been a steady increase in the number of breeding pair along the river. Since eagles will usually establish a territory within 50 to 100 miles from their natal nests (where they were hatched), many of the newer established territories were likely occupied by eagles hatched from river nests. Other states followed up with their own programs; Pennsylvania started re-introduction in 1983.
As more nests are established in the river corridor, eagle territories are being found closer together; some nests are just over a mile apart. Eagles, being highly defensive of their territory, are interacting aggressively with each other to protect their territory. Loss of habitat due to development is the biggest threat to area eagles in the region today, but the National Park Service, the states and citizen groups are trying to work together to ensure that habitat loss is held to a minimum. With a team effort, we can ensure there is still room for eagles at the "Haliaeetus Hotel."

A third wave of destructionFebruary 03,2013
Vermont has rarely been kind to its mountains. Two historic waves of human destruction have battered them, each crest followed by a brief trough of recovery. With a new swell forming mountaintop industrial wind Vermonters may have a last, best opportunity to prevent a third wave of devastation.
By the mid-19th century, our forests were destroyed, eradicated by a mania for sheep and lumber. U.S. Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall, reflecting on the aftermath in 1963, wrote, Not even in the cotton and tobacco belt were soils exhausted faster and forests mangled more thoroughly than on the hillsides of Vermont. The first wave.
In the mid-20th century, Gov. George Aiken unleashed the ski industry, allowing the first ski towers to be built on Mount Mansfield. Three decades later, Walter Hard Jr., the legendary editor of Vermont Life, asked plaintively Shall Her Mountains Die? His colleague Samuel Ogden, mourning our mountain peaks scarred with the worm-tracks of ski areas, asked an environmentally existential question, How long can we proceed along these easy ways before we do become ruined? The second wave.
Now, in the early 21st century, a third wave is lapping at our summits and ridgelines. Have we learned nothing from our past?
Unfortunately, many industrial wind proponents, including a fair share of Vermonts major environmental organizations, rationalize this ruin, arguing that Vermont must destroy its mountains in order to save them. They employ environmental relativism, justifying skinning our mountaintops for wind because West Virginia disembowels its mountains for coal. The odd boast We are not West Virginia, perversely reminiscent of Richard Nixons I am not a crook, is neither compelling nor comforting. A dead deer, whether skinned or gutted, is still a dead deer.
Once upon a time in Vermont, there were people who revered our hills and mountains, drawing on them for spiritual strength. Clarence Cowles was one. A founder of the Green Mountain Club, Cowles closed a reminiscence celebrating its 50th anniversary with these words, We will continue to raise our eyes to the hills, echoing the words of Psalm 121: I lift up mine eyes unto the hills; from whence cometh my help.
Today, such sentiments seem quaint, such noble men anachronistic. Our mountains, rather than majestic sanctuaries, are diminished, little more than profit centers for foreign corporations, Wall Street firms and wind barons. Our hills are increasingly a detritus of water parks, roller coasters and other amusements, litter imported from urban America. Our ridges are calibrated in board-feet, vertical drop, kilowatts per hour and, ultimately, money.
Vermonts mountains, while evoking the infinite, are undeniably finite. The high peaks of the Greens have already been damaged. Of the six Vermont mountains climbed by Benton MacKaye in 1900, when he envisioned creating the Appalachian Trail, only Camels Hump remains protected. The iconic Mount Mansfield, our most celebrated summit, is ironically our most ecologically compromised.
Now, the ridgelines parallel to the Greens are targets for 200 miles or more of blasting, bulldozing and road-building for industrial wind the so-called Blittersdorf Buildout. What will be left? Will wind turbines become totems of deception high on our hills, ephemeral symbols of the delusion that technology will save us from generations of human folly, consumption and destruction? Will any politician acknowledge that climate change proves our easy ways are indeed ruining us, that there are no simple, painless solutions, and that further environmental damage is foolish?
It is time to pause, to reflect on our legacy of devastation and to determine what we will bequeath the future. It is time to answer Walter Hards hard question, Shall her mountains die? It is time to ask, despite our pretensions of environmental virtue, if mountain destruction is simply and sadly part of Vermonts DNA.
