Trails across the United States help connect people to nature, inspire healthy activities, and by their very nature, help protect natural places - making communities more livable and connected.
Recently there has been a lot of chatter about accessible trails and coming regulations. Maybe you've heard about it, maybe you haven't. Either way, since we all strive to ensure all people have access to the benefits of parks and recreation, like trails, it is critically important to be aware of what is currently in place around trails accessibility and what's to come in the next few years.
Accessibility expert, John McGovern, J.D., authors this two-part blog series on accessible trails. In this first part, he clears up the confusion about what is currently a requirement at this point in time. In part two, he'll explore the evolving requirements and what you need to know.
There has been a lot of discussion about what makes a trail accessible for people with disabilities. Unfortunately, there is not today a final and enforceable standard for trails.
However, there is a lot of guidance.
It is important to note that States, cities, counties, and other jurisdictions may adopt an access requirement that is not yet in a final and enforceable federal Standard.
Become familiar with current ADA standards and coming regulations as it relates to trails
Has your state done so? If so, you already have a requirement to meet.
In addition some funders, such as Department of Transportation, may impose requirements when awarding grants and these requirements may not yet be in a design Standard.
Evaluating compliance? Ask these questions.
It is difficult to find a word that is neutral in discussing common recreation elements such as trails. We will use the word "path" as a catch-all that can include sidewalks, trails, accessible routes, shared use paths, and outdoor recreation accessible routes.
When evaluating the compliance of a path, it is important to determine what type of path it is.
Ask these questions regarding the path:
1. Where is the path located?
2. Is it meant for transportation or for recreation?
3. For what types of activities is the path designed and intended to have occur?
Once these questions are answered and you know what type of path you are evaluating, then you can determine the accessibility guidelines for that particular type of path. For this blog we'll talk about accessible routes, which is the only path with currently enforceable requirements.
The 2010 Standards for Accessible Design includes requirements for an accessible route. The requirements for an accessible route cover components such as walking surfaces, doors, ramps, curb ramps, elevators, and lifts. Accessible routes are required in 206.2.1 to connect site arrival points to the accessible building or facility entrance. They are also required by 206.2.2 to connect accessible buildings, facilities, elements, and spaces within that site. It is important to note that while the 2010 Standards does include many recreation elements, it does not include trails or shared-use paths.
All other types - shared use paths, trails, pedestrian access routes, and outdoor recreation accessible routes - have detailed design guidance, but that guidance is not yet an enforceable standard.
In Part Two of this blog post, we'll go into more detail about those coming standards, such as PROWAG (yes, we'll explain what that is), guidelines for outdoor developed areas, and other guidance you may encounter as it relates to trails and recreation.
What questions do you have about accessible routes? How about trails and accessibility? Share your thoughts or questions in the comments below.
You state...."They are also required by 206.2.2 to connect accessible buildings, facilities, elements, and spaces within that site. It is important to note that while the 2010 Standards does include many recreation elements, it does not include trails or shared-use paths."...So If I have a walking trail with several pedestrian bridges over several watercourses that start and end in open fields, it doesn't have to comply at all?......Thank You

Hello,I am the president of Hawk Mountain Sanctuary and we have made a commitment to dramatically improve our ADA access for our buildings and more recently our trails.I am seeking assistance of where to find some of the best practices for outdoor trails that blend the natural landscape with the functionality of being fully accessible with little maintaince.I would appreciate any leads and some examples of the best ADA outdoors trails in America. The biggest question we are reviewing is what would be the best surface to use for low maintenance, asethics and functionality. I realize the base is the cornerstone for whatever surface would be selected.Many thanks,Jerry Regan
by Jerry Regan on
Hi Jerry,Here is a good example of a dog park trail system that meets ADA compliance: http://www.parksandrecreation.org/2013/November/Renewing-One-of-the-Nation-s-Largest-Public-Dog-Parks/ Although, we don't have a formal list of ADA outdoor trails, we do have an NRPA Connect group for members dedicated to inclusion and accessibility that might be able to answer your question (http://nrpaconnect.org/viewcommunities/groupdetails/?CommunityKey=005da954-726d-44c2-ab3b-ee25a1f64094) and NRPA also works with an accessibility consultant (http://www.parksandrecreation.org/2014/August/Embracing-ADA-Compliance/). Hope this helps!

Police: Risk at Harwood was remote
DUXBURY — Police suggest that the posting of a deputy sheriff at Harwood Union Middle/High School this week was more to ease concerns than because of any imminent danger.
A former Harwood student caused the school's administration to request a deputy sheriff at the school this week.
A potential threat came from a minor who was at a "secure facility," and a deputy sheriff was at the school Wednesday as a precaution for the security of students and staff, Washington County Sheriff W. Samuel Hill said Friday.
"Oftentimes even though there may not be a huge potential for the threat because the person may be incarcerated, it's the security and the overall feelings that it makes people feel safer," Hill said.
The minor was enrolled as a student earlier this school year, said Vermont State Police Lt. Paul White.
Although top school officials said the incident involved a restraining order, state police said they issued only a no-trespass order to the former student and provided a copy to that person's parent Dec. 24.
The former student was scheduled to move out of state with a family member, Hill said. School officials said they confirmed later Wednesday the person was no longer in Vermont.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON The House on Thursday cleared bills to keep the government running through April and...

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Wesleyan to host Governor's School for the Arts
West Virginia Wesleyan College has been chosen to host the Governor's School for the Arts (GSA) during the summers of 2014-2016, with the next session held July 6-26.
Jessica Scott, instructor of interdisciplinary studies, will serve as dean of the school, and John Waltz, director of admission, will serve as assistant dean. This year's theme will be "Connecting the Arts."
GSA is a three-week intensive experience for current high school sophomores who exhibit talent in the literary, performing and visual arts. Students attending the GSA are exposed to practicing professionals in their respective fields of writing, dance, music, acting, digital media, drawing and painting.
"We are excited to be hosting the Governor's School for the Arts for the first time," Scott said. "Hosting the Governor's School for the Arts allows us to participate in providing important learning experiences for some of the most creative young people in our state, and we welcome the opportunity to contribute to the development of one of West Virginia's most dynamic and valuable resources, our young people."
"West Virginia is tremendously rich with students with excellent creative and academic talents, and GSA provides them such excellent outlets to hone their unique skills with professional artists and educators," said Waltz. "As the host institution, Wesleyan will benefit from having these students participate in the arts and campus environment just as the students will benefit from both our community and GSA team members with their ambition and diverse interests. We are truly looking forward to this enriching experience."
Applicants to the School for the Arts must currently be sophomores who live and attend school in West Virginia. Students who attend public and private schools as well as those who are home-schooled are eligible. Selected students are also expected to attend school within West Virginia next year. Home-schooled students must present verification of West Virginia residency.
For more information, please visit the Governor's Schools website at www.govschools.wv.gov.

Richard Childress Racing
Recent News
Jeff Burton announces he will not return to the No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet team in 2014
September 4, 2013
WELCOME, N.C. (Sept 4, 2013) -- Jeff Burton, driver of the No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet SS for Richard Childress Racing, has announced he will not be driving that car after the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. Burton, 46, has driven for RCR since 2005.
The native of South Boston, Va., has won four of his 21 NSCS victories with the team. He also earned seven NASCAR Nationwide Series wins and was an integral part of RCR's 2007 NNS Owner's Championship.
"I strongly believe in the No. 31 team as to what we can achieve this year, and for the team in seasons to follow," Burton said. "However, the financial realities for next year were obvious to both Richard (Childress) and me. So, we talked about it and both made the decision to make this move for the team's future.
"I would like to thank the dealers, customers and employees of Caterpillar for all we've achieved together. You can't ask for a better and more supportive sponsor than those people, and it's been an honor to wear their black and yellow colors on my uniform."
Caterpillar will continue to sponsor the No. 31 Chevrolet SS.
"Jeff has been a true professional in every sense of the word," said Greg Towles, Cat Racing Program Director. "On behalf of Caterpillar dealers, customers and Cat employees, we thank Jeff for his commitment to the No. 31 team and the Cat Racing program."
A new driver for the No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet SS will be named in the very near future.
"We have been working hard to try and get all the funding in place to have four Sprint Cup teams in 2014," said Richard Childress, president and CEO of Richard Childress Racing. "With the date on the calendar getting closer to 2014, we just couldn't run partially funded teams next year. Knowing what Jeff's plans were in 2015, he and I worked out an agreement for him to step out of the No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet after this season. Jeff has been nothing but a professional driver, an asset to RCR and a great person for our organization since coming on board in 2005.
"Jeff has also been a great ambassador for Caterpillar and the other partners we've had on the car throughout the years. I can't thank him and Caterpillar enough for how great they've been as we work through this transition
"We intend to finish out 2013 in a strong way and I look forward to the possibility of Jeff still being part of RCR in the near future, just not driving the No. 31 car. I have been watching his son, Harrison, and the success he's having. Hopefully, we can have another Burton in one of our cars someday."
About Richard Childress Racing:
Richard Childress Racing (www.rcrracing.com) has earned more than 200 victories and 14 championships, including six in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series with the legendary Dale Earnhardt. RCR was the first organization to win championships in the Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Its 2013 Sprint Cup Series lineup includes Paul Menard (No. 27 Menards Chevrolet), Kevin Harvick (No. 29 Budweiser/Jimmy John's/Rheem Chevrolet) and Jeff Burton (No. 31 Caterpillar/Cheerios Chevrolet). Its Nationwide Series program includes Brian Scott (No. 2 Shore Lodge/Armour Vienna Sausage/Fast Fixin'/Charter/Husky Liners Chevrolet), 2012 Nationwide Series rookie of the year Austin Dillon (No. 3 AdvoCare Chevrolet) and an all-star driver lineup on the No. 33 Menards/Rheem/WESCO/Armour Vienna Sausage/Hunt Brothers Pizza/Fast Fixin' Chevrolet team.

text: I know this is yet another "poop" question but I cannot seem to find a definative answer online so far. My son is 7 1/2 months old and about 2 weeks ago he started having several (5-6) BMs per day...sometimes more. They have been waking him up in the middle of the night. They are very runny/sticky/mucusy. His normal output was once a day and a normal, soft consistancy. He's been on solids for almost 2 months now and has never shown any reaction to the foods he's eaten. I nurse him about 7 times per day, have had no change in my diet either, and he seems to poop either during or immediately after I nurse him now(all super runny/wet). Our ped has referred us to a specialist because my LO seems happy and healthy otherwise...Im just so worried because he doesn't seem to be improving at all and I have cut his solids back to just very basic things (Banana, rice and applesauce) for the past week. It seems that the stools are getting worse (more liquidy and full of mucus). Yesterday I noticed that his poop has these weird, tiny, brownish/red worm looking things in it...they dont look like pinworms but I find it very alarming! The color of the poop itself is bright to dark yellow. I dont know if this is diarrhea or what...does anyone have any experince with this or any advice? ANYTHING would be much appreciated!

Progress reported in Yankee decom talks
MONTPELIER The two sides in the confidential talks between the Shumlin administration and Entergy Corp. over issues involved in closing the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant reported progress after meeting behind closed doors for eight hours Monday.
It was constructive and productive, said Christopher Recchia, commissioner of the Department of Public Service. Recchia said the two sides had a lot of issues to cover, and he said progress had been made, although he declined to be specific.
Recchia and other Shumlin administration officials, along with Attorney General William Sorrell, are meeting with Entergy officials about the major issues involved in the late 2014 shutdown of Yankee, focusing on the timetable for decommissioning, the handling of the highly radioactive spent nuclear fuel, and the eventual reuse of the Vernon site.
We were pretty much all day, said Recchia, who said the talks started at 9 a.m. and ended around 5 p.m.
Entergy has clearance from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to use its Safstor method, which would essentially mothball Vermont Yankee for up to 50 years, allowing another 10 years for the eventual demolition and cleanup of the site.
How the spent nuclear fuel would be handled is not spelled out.It could all be transferred out of the spent fuel pool into concrete and steel casks, or it could remain in the spent fuel pool. Money for the transfer is expected to be an issue, since Entergy would have to front the money for the expensive transfer and later recoup its costs from the NRC-controlled decommissioning trust fund.
With a new multimillion-dollar VELCO switchyard recently completed just north of Yankee, the Shumlin administration is trying to assure future reuse of the Vermont Yankee site a lot sooner than 60 years.
Entergy has until 2016 to submit its decommissioning plans; that is two years after the plant eventually shuts down.
Entergy Nuclear spokesman Robert Williams issued a statement on behalf of the president of Entergy Wholesale Commodities, William Mohl, who has met privately with Gov. Peter Shumlin since Entergy announced three months ago it was closing Vermont Yankee:
We remain focused on having constructive discussions with the governor and the state of Vermont as it relates to the shutdown and decommissioning of the Vermont Yankee facility. Many of the issues we are discussing will require give and take by both parties. We remain optimistic that we can reach an agreement that is acceptable to the state and to Entergy Vermont Yankee.
Believed to be part of the discussion is the $5.4 million legal bill that Entergy is trying to collect from the state over the federal lawsuit Entergy filed against the state over two laws. Entergy won a decision in U.S. District Court in Brattleboro and in the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City, but the appeals court struck down the portion of the earlier ruling that allowed Entergy to recoup its legal costs.
Recchia said both sides agreed to continue talks.
Sorrell couldnt be reached late Monday.MORE IN Vermont NewsAs Rutland prepares to welcome Syrian refugees to its community, some are continuing to voice... Full StoryMONTPELIER Gov. Full StoryMONTPELIER Gov. Full Story

August 10, 2011 —
The food pantry had only been open for 15 minutes on July 28, when there was a line out the door. Adults waited with their children to receive rationed food from the ecumenical food pantry in Narrowsburg.
Barbara Peters, a volunteer at the pantry,said, "Circumstances can change drastically in your life, in a minute, and it's nice to know you have neighbors."
The food pantry, a collaborative effort of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church, Narrowsburg United Methodist Church and the Upper Delaware Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, offers food to families in New York and Pennsylvania within a 10-mile radius of Narrowsburg.
As the patrons came and went, only a few were willing to talk, with the condition of only using their first names.
When Flo visited the pantry Thursday evening to drop off a card, Peters offered her some Rice Krispies. Laughing, she said, "I'm tired of Cheerios." At this time, Flo is only collecting Social Security. Proudly, she said, "I don't use it all the time, I'll go months sometimes" without receiving the assistance. It is toward the end of the month, when things get low that Flo is most likely to visit the pantry.
A first-time visitor to the pantry, Maureen is a nurse's assistant and is using the pantry because she was in a major car accident. Recently Maureen moved to a nicer home, where she is paying more for housing. She said the move was "probably silly," but because she is tired of "paying a low rent and getting garbage," it's worth spending the extra money.
Because her arm was severely injured in the accident, Maureen is only able to work part time now. But once her injuries are better, she intends on working regular hours again.
Sitting with a toddler in her arms and her other children waiting, a young mother with a household of six, Kelly hesitantly spoke of the struggles she is dealing with because her husband had to go on disability. She called the pantry "great" because people are not discriminated against and no one gets "frowned upon," she said.
When money is low, Kelly said the pantry is a good resource because she is able to provide healthy foods for her family. Once she becomes financially stable, Kelly said she would like to give back to the community too because she thinks "we're out for a long haul." With the prices of life's essential items and taxes, she said, "It's a killer."
One of the clients who was willing to give his full name was Glenn Clark, who was also willing to talk in detail about his situation. Before fracturing his ankle last July, Clark had no problem providing for his family. A truck driver for years, it was hard for Clark to ask for help. If money was ever tight, he would go out and get a second or third job, sometimes working seven days a week for 70 hours, he said.
But now, Clark is in the process of training for a desk job. He is collecting Social Security Disability, which, he said, is "keeping me afloat and helping me out until I can get back on my feet." Clark is looking to go to college where he is considering a job in bookkeeping or accounting. His wife recently graduated with a bachelor's degree that will allow her to become a paralegal, but she is struggling to find a job.
Clark would like to be working now, but because he is collecting Social Security, he is unsure of what jobs he can have because the amount of money he can earn is limited. Looking at job ads, he said, "I'm afraid if I go out and do something, they'll take my benefits away." Finding the rules of the system confusing, he said, "Once you get in the system, it seems like you're stuck."
It took months before Clark received his first disability check. Because of the waiting, he said, "You're starving to death." Since he was unable to afford food, Clark said he lost 30 pounds. He has since gained the weight back. To help with the food bill, he has planted a garden to grow various fruits and vegetables.
Before getting injured, Clark said he was not aware of the resources available to people in the area. Now, he volunteers at Katie's Café at St. Paul's, an outreach program that provides a free community lunch on the first Saturday of the month. But he questions if he is "taking advantage: am I on this too long, am I coming too often?" But he said by volunteering at the café, he feels better.
At one point, Clark was five months behind on his rent. He said he is very thankful that his landlord took a "gamble with me." He asked, "Do you know how hard it is to go to your landlord and tell him you don't have money to pay him?"
To help ease some of the financial responsibilities, Clark has learned a few money saving tricks by watching "Extreme Couponing," on TLC. With coupons, Clark said he is saving 50 percent off his shopping bill.
Even though he is not crazy about his situation, Clark said one of the best things that has come from this experience is that he is spending time with his family, which he was unable to when he was working. "I keep trying to look at the good things," he said. "You can get so damned depressed." he added.
Open on Thursdays from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., the Narrowsburg
Ecumenical Food Pantry is always in need of basic food supplies like peanut butter, which is a popular item, jelly, canned vegetables, fruits and meats, dry cereal, pasta and pasta sauces, rice and rice mixes, soup and bottled juice.
For more information on donating or receiving food, contact Emily Grillo, pantry president, at 570/729-4038.

You should have a folder with Real Media files in it. Open those with Real Player, or any other program that will play Real Player formats. If all you have is the .torrent file, then you need to open that in a Bit Torrent client, to actually download the game.Originally Posted by H20 OFFdaHizZLe
That's right. Either with Real One Player or with Media Player Classic.
As for a torrent client, i suggest BitCommet
Do you guys know where I can download NBA Draft 2005 Full Video? I want to watch our Knicks get drafted!

In the first part of this series, we covered the basics of transaction processing in a distributed component based system. In this part, the two main types of transactions possible in a J2EE configuration are described. Issues of isolation and serialization of resource managers are discussed. Explicit transaction management using JTA API for the three typical J2EE configurations is described in detail.
In Part 1 of this series we ended the discussion identifying the three common J2EE configurations found in applications. For the benefit of the reader, the figure showing those configurations is repeated below.
This part will explain how the different types of transaction types map to the cases mentioned above.
The typical configuration of a J2EE application is an application component deployed in a container provided by an application server. The application component needs transactional access to multiple resource managers and uses a transaction manager that's responsibile for managing transactions across multiple resource managers.
A resource manager as shown in the figure above can support two types of transactions:
A transaction manager as shown above (1) coordinates transactions across multiple resource managers and (2) provides additional low level services to propagate transactional context across multiple resource managers. The J2EE connector architecture defines a transaction management contract between an application server and a resource adapter with its underlying resource manager. The transaction management contract has two parts, depending on the type of transaction:
javax.transaction.xa.XAResource based
contract between a transaction manager and a resource manager
An application server vendor uses this to provide the infrastructure and runtime environment for transaction management. Application components in turn rely on this transaction infrastructure to support their component level transaction model.
Note: It is important to emphasize that most enterprise information systems support some form of transaction management. For example, a typical JDBC database allows multiple SQL updates to be grouped in an atomic transaction. Components should always access any resource (database or an enterprise information system) under the scope of a transaction since this provides some guarantee on the integrity and consistency of underlying data being accessed. Such systems can be accessed under either a JTA transaction or a resource manager (RM) local transaction.
In the following figure, a client invokes a method on the remote interface of an EJB A. EJB A accesses resources managed by an EIS A and calls EJB Y to access another EIS B.
The application server uses a transaction manager to enable an
application component to perform transactional access across multiple
EIS resource managers. The transaction manager manages transactions
across multiple resource managers and supports propagation of the
transaction context across distributed systems. The transaction
manager supports a JTA
XAResource transaction management
contract with a resource manager. The EIS system A supports JTA
transactions by implementing a
XAResource interface
through its resource manager. The EIS system B also implements the
XAResource interface. This interface enables the two
resource managers to participate in transactions that are coordinated
by an external transaction manager. The
interface is used by the transaction manager to manage transactions
across the two underlying resource managers. As the EJBs A and B
access the EIS systems, the application server enlists the connections
to both the systems from their respective resource managers. Finally
when the transaction commits, the transaction manager performs a 2PC
protocol across the two resource managers, ensuring that all read and
write access to resources managed by both the EIS systems is either
entirely committed or entirely rolled back.
Currently, the J2EE platform is only required to support access to a single JDBC database within a transaction (multiple connections to the same database are allowed). It is not required to support access to multiple JDBC databases within a single transaction. It is also not required to support access to other types of enterprise information systems such as enterprise resource planning systems. However, some products might choose to provide these extra transactional capabilities. For example, the J2EE SDK supports access to multiple JDBC databases in one transaction using the two-phase commit protocol. It is important for developers to understand and distinguish which transaction capabilities are required and which are optional in a J2EE product. For true portability of an application, only features required by the J2EE specification should be used. For example, if a J2EE application needs to access multiple databases under a single transaction, it will not run properly on a J2EE product that does not support two-phase commit.
The figure shown above illustrates the different types of transaction management and their associated components. It is meant to clarify the relationships between JTA transaction, the EJBs and their bean managed or container managed demarcation. Note that it is always possible to do explicit local transactions from fat clients, servlets or EJBs provided the resource manager offers some transactional API.
An isolation level defines how concurrent transactions accessing a RDBMS or an EIS are isolated from one another for read purposes. The following the isolation levels are generally supported in any RDBMS or EIS. These levels are defined in the ANSI SQL92 standard in terms of three phenomena that must be prevented between concurrent transactions.
Following are the descriptions of the isolation levels.
|Isolation level summary
|Isolation Level
|Dirty Read
|Non Repeatable Read
|Phantom Read
The table shown above summarizes the discussion. A lower level of isolation allows greater concurrency at the expense of more complicated logic to deal with potential data inconsistencies. A useful guideline is to use the highest isolation level provided by the RDBMS or the EIS that gives acceptable performance. Although the TX_SERIALIZABLE attribute guarantees the highest level of data integrity, it is offset by a performance trade-off because even simple reads must wait in line. All RDBMS or EIS used by a J2EE application should use the same isolation level for consistency reasons since the current J2EE specification does not define a standard way to set isolation levels when an EIS is accessed via JTA transactions. If a J2EE product does not provide a way to configure the isolation level, the RDBMS or EIS will use a default isolation level, which for most of the relational databases is TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED. It is strongly recommended not to change the isolation level within a transaction, especially if some work has already been done. Some enterprise information systems may even force a commit if it is attempted to change the isolation level in the middle of a transaction. They're mapped in JDBC to the static variables defined in the java.sql.Connection interface.
A transaction managed and coordinated by the J2EE platform is a JTA
or XA transaction. A J2EE product is required to support JTA
transactions according to the transaction requirements defined in the
J2EE specification. There are two ways to begin a JTA transaction. A
component can begin a JTA transaction explicitly using the JTA
javax.transaction.UserTransaction interface or it can
also be started implicitly or automatically by the EJB container if an
EJB bean uses container managed transaction specification. The main
benefit of using JTA transactions is the ability to seamlessly combine
multiple application components and RDBMS/EIS accesses into one single
transaction with a little coding effort. For example, if a component X
begins a JTA transaction and invokes a method of component Y, the
transaction will be propagated transparently from component X to Y by
the platform. Enterprise beans using container-managed transaction
demarcation will not need to begin or commit transactions
programmatically as the demarcation is handled automatically by the
EJB container itself. It is always recommended to access an RDBMS or
EIS within the scope of a JTA transaction. JTA allows applications to
access transaction management independent of any specific
implementation by specifying standard Java interfaces between a
transaction manager, the transactional application, the J2EE server,
and the resource managers.
OMG Object Transaction Service
JTS specifies the implementation of a transaction manager that supports JTA and implements the Java mapping of the OMG Object Transaction Service (OTS) 1.1 specification. JTS propagates transactions using IIOP. A JTS transaction manager provides the services and management functions required to support transaction demarcation, transactional resource management, synchronization, and transaction context propagation. An application component developer uses the JTA
UserTransaction interface to demarcate JTA transaction
boundaries in components. The JTS
TransactionManager and
XAResource interfaces are low level APIs between a J2EE
server and enterprise information system resource managers and are not
intended to be used by applications. A J2EE platform might choose to
use a JTS implementation to support the transaction semantics defined
in J2EE specification. An example is the J2EE SDK. The JTS
implementation is transparent to J2EE components. Components should
never interact directly with JTS. Instead, they should use the JTA
UserTransaction interface for transaction
This is the case where the J2EE configuration is {Stand-alone Client <-> EJB Container <-> RDBMS/EIS Resources}. Transaction support in applets and application clients is not required by the J2EE platform. However, a J2EE product might choose to implement and provide this capability for added value. So the ability of applets and fat standalone application clients to directly access a UserTransaction object depends entirely on the capabilities provided by the container. To ensure portability, applets and application clients should delegate transactional work to the lower tier of enterprise beans.
This is the case where the J2EE configuration is {Browser <->
Web Container <-> RDBMS/EIS Resources}. It is possible for a
servlet or a JSP page to use JNDI lookup to get hold of a
UserTransaction object and use the underlying interface
to programmatically specify transactions. In a two-tier application
configuration where a web component needs to access enterprise
information systems under the scope of a JTA transaction, this is
quite common. The code snippet below illustrates the use of the JTA
interface to specify transactions within a web component:
Context myCntxt = new InitialContext();
UserTransaction ut =
(UserTransaction) myCntxt.lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction");
// perform transactional work here
It is important to keep in mind that a web component like a servlet
may only start a transaction in its
method. Moreover, a transaction started by a servlet or a JSP page
must be completed before the service method returns. Transactions
cannot span across web requests. The following guidelines are
recommended for handling interactions in web components between JTA
transactions, threads, and JDBC connections.
SingleThreadModel, JDBC
Connection objects
should not be stored in class instance fields and should be acquired
and released within the same invocation of the
This is the case where the J2EE configuration is {Browser <-> Web Container <-> EJB Container <-> RDBMS/EIS Resources}. The following scenarios are illustrated to motivate discussions on use of transactions in application servers with EJB container and a built in transaction monitor.
Scenario A : Messages sent/received over JMS and multiple databases access:
It's possible for an application using EJB servers to send messages to or receive messages from one or more JMS destinations or update data in one or more databases in a single transaction. In the following figure, a client invokes a method on the remote interface of enterprise Bean A. which in turn sends a message to a JMS queue and updates data in a database A. After that, EJB A calls a method of another enterprise Bean B that updates data in database B. The application server with its EJB container and built in transaction manager ensures that the operations on A, B, and C are either all committed or rolled back.
The application programmer does not have to do anything to ensure transactional semantics. The EJBs A and B perform the sending of the message and database updates using the standard JMS and JDBC APIs. Behind the scenes, the application server enlists the session on the connection to the JMS provider and the database connections as part of the transaction. When the transaction commits, the application server and the messaging and database systems perform a two-phase commit protocol to ensure atomic updates across all the three resources.
Scenario B: Multiple database access via multiple application servers:
The J2EE architecture allows updates of data at multiple sites to be performed in a single transaction. In the following figure, a client invokes a method on enterprise Bean A. which in turn sends a message to a message queue, updates data in database A. After that, EJB A calls a method in another EJB B deployed in another application server which updates data in database B. The EJB architecture makes it possible to perform the updates to databases A and B in a single transaction.
When EJB A invokes EJB B, the two application servers cooperate to propagate the transaction context from A to B. This transaction context propagation is transparent to the application. At commit time, the two application servers use distributed two phase commit protocol (if the capability exists) to ensure the atomicity of the database updates and the transaction.
The two types of transaction demarcation in enterprise beans, namely, bean managed and container managed, are discussed in detail next.
As mentioned before, in a bean-managed transaction, an enterprise
bean uses the
javax.transaction.UserTransaction interface
to explicitly specify transaction boundaries in the application
code. Only session beans and message driven beans can choose to use
bean-managed demarcation. An entity bean must always use container
managed transaction demarcation. The following code illustrates the
use of JTA interface to specify transactions in an enterprise bean
with bean-managed transaction demarcation.
UserTransaction ut = ejbContext.getUserTransaction();
// Transactional work is done here
The following example illustrates a business method of a typical session bean that performs a bean managed transaction involving both a database connection and a JMS connection.
public class MySessionEJB implements SessionBean {
EJBContext ejbContext;
public void someMethod(...) {
javax.transaction.UserTransaction ut;
javax.sql.DataSource ds;
java.sql.Connection dcon;
java.sql.Statement stmt;
javax.jms.QueueConnectionFactory qcf;
javax.jms.QueueConnection qcon;
javax.jms.Queue q;
javax.jms.QueueSession qsession;
javax.jms.QueueSender qsender;
javax.jms.Message message;
InitialContext initCtx = new InitialContext();
// obtain db conn object and set it up for transactions
ds = (javax.sql.DataSource)
dcon = ds.getConnection();
stmt = dcon.createStatement();
// obtain jms conn object and set up session for transactions
qcf = (javax.jms.QueueConnectionFactory)
qcon = qcf.createQueueConnection();
qsession = qcon.createQueueSession(true,0);
q = (javax.jms.Queue)
qsender = qsession.createSender(q);
message = qsession.createTextMessage();
message.setText("some message");
// Now do a transaction that involves the two connections.
ut = ejbContext.getUserTransaction();
// start the transaction
// Do database updates and send message. The Container
// automatically enlists dcon and qsession with the
// transaction.
// commit the transaction
// release connections
The following example illustrates a stateful session bean that
retains transaction context across three client calls, invoked in the
order {
method2, and
public class MySessionEJB implements SessionBean {
EJBContext ejbContext;
javax.sql.DataSource ds1;
javax.sql.DataSource ds2;
java.sql.Connection con1;
java.sql.Connection con2;
public void method1(...) {
java.sql.Statement stmt;
InitialContext initCtx = new InitialContext();
// obtain user transaction interface
ut = ejbContext.getUserTransaction();
// start a transaction
// make some updates on con1
ds1 = (javax.sql.DataSource)
con1 = ds1.getConnection();
stmt = con1.createStatement();
// The Container retains the transaction associated with the
// instance to the next client call (which is method2(...)).
public void method2(...) {
java.sql.Statement stmt;
InitialContext initCtx = new InitialContext();
// make some updates on con2
ds2 = (javax.sql.DataSource)
con2 = ds2.getConnection();
stmt = con2.createStatement();
// The Container retains the transaction associated with the
// instance to the next client call (which is method3(...)).
public void method3(...) {
java.sql.Statement stmt;
// obtain user transaction interface
ut = ejbContext.getUserTransaction();
// make some more updates on con1 and con2
stmt = con1.createStatement();
stmt = con2.createStatement();
// commit the transaction
// release connections
t is possible for an enterprise bean to open and close a database
connection in each business method rather than hold the connection
open until the end of transaction. If the client in the following
example executes the sequence of methods {
method3}, all
the database updates done by the multiple invocations of
method2 are performed in the scope of the same
transaction. This is the transaction started in
and committed in
public class MySessionEJB implements SessionBean {
EJBContext ejbContext;
InitialContext initCtx;
public void method1(...) {
java.sql.Statement stmt;
// obtain user transaction interface
ut = ejbContext.getUserTransaction();
// start a transaction
public void method2(...) {
javax.sql.DataSource ds;
java.sql.Connection con;
java.sql.Statement stmt;
// open connection
ds = (javax.sql.DataSource)
con = ds.getConnection();
// make some updates on con
stmt = con.createStatement();
// close the connection
public void method3(...) {
// obtain user transaction interface
ut = ejbContext.getUserTransaction();
// commit the transaction
An enterprise bean with bean-managed transaction specification
need not and should not use the
getRollbackOnly() and
setRollbackOnly()methods of the EJBContext interface
since, if necessary, it can obtain the status of a transaction by
using the
getStatus() method of the
javax.transaction.UserTransaction interface. It can also
roll back a transaction using the rollback()method of the same
interface if required.
There is never a client transaction context available when a
message driven bean is invoked because a distributed transaction
context does not flow with a JMS message. When a message driven bean
using bean managed transaction uses the
UserTransaction interface
to specify transactions, the message receipt that causes the
onMessage() method of the bean to be invoked is not part
of the transaction. Container managed transaction with the
Required transaction attribute must be used if receipt of
a message is to be part of a transaction. A message driven bean's
ejbCreate, and
ejbRemove methods are called
with an unspecified transaction context.

Boston Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox are a Boston, Massachusetts based professional baseball team and a member of Baseball's American League Eastern Division. Founded in 1901 as one of the American League's eight charter franchises, the Red Sox's home ballpark has been Fenway Park since 1912. The "Red Sox" name was chosen by the team owner, John I. Taylor, around 1908, following previous Boston teams that had been known as the "Red Stockings".
Boston was a dominant team in the new league, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first World Series in 1903 and winning four more championships by 1918. Afterwards the team went into one of the longest championship droughts in baseball history, referred-to as the "Curse of the Bambino" after the sale of Babe Ruth to the rival Yankees in 1918. The team's had some of the most memorable moments in World Series history, including Enos Slaughter's "mad dash" in 1946, the "Impossible Dream" of 1967, Carlton Fisk's home run in 1975, and Bill Buckner's error in 1986. Red Sox history has also been marked by an intense rivalry with the New York Yankees, the fiercest and most historic in American professional sports. Since 2003, the team has been a perennial playoff contender and have won two World Series, emerging as one of the most successful teams.
The Red Sox are consistently one of the top teams in average road attendance, while the small capacity of Fenway Park prevents them from leading in overall attendance. Every home game since May 15, 2003 has been sold out for over seven years, which is an record.
History of the Boston Red Sox
In 1901, the minor Western League, declared its equality with the National League, then the only major league in baseball. The name of the league was changed to the American League, leading teams in his league to be christened with the unofficial nickname "Americans". This was especially true in the case of the new Boston franchise, which would not adopt an official nickname until 1908.
The upstart league placed franchises in Baltimore, Maryland and Buffalo. After looking at his new league Ban Johnson decided that he would need a team in Boston to compete with the National League team there and so cancelled the Buffalo club's franchise, offering one to a new club in Boston. Playing their home games at Huntington Avenue Grounds, the Boston franchise finished second and third before capturing their first pennant in 1903 and repeating the next year.
In 1903, Boston participated in the first modern World Series, beating the favored Pittsburgh Pirates, winners of the NL pennant by six and a half games, winning the best-of-nine series five games to three. Aided by the modified chants of "Tessie" by the Royal Rooters fan club and by its stronger pitching staff, the Americans managed to overcome the odds, and win the World Series. The 1904 club was almost as good as the previous team, but due to the surprise emergence of the New York Highlanders, the Boston club found itself in a tight pennant race through the last games of the season.
These successful times soon ended, however, as Boston lost 100 games in 1906. However, several new star players helped the newly renamed Red Sox improve almost immediately. However, the Red Sox would not win the pennant again until their 105-win 1912 season, finishing with a club record .691 winning percentage. From 1913 to 1916 the Red Sox signed Babe Ruth, soon the best-known and one of the best players ever. Another 101 wins in 1915 propelled the Red Sox to the 1915 World Series, where they beat the Philadelphia Phillies four games to one. The Red Sox went on to win the 1916 World Series, this time defeating the Brooklyn Robins. In 1918, Babe Ruth led his team to another World Series championship over the Chicago Cubs.
2007: World Series Championship
In 2007 Theo Epstein's pursued one of the most anticipated acquisitions in baseball history. The announced that Boston had won the bid for the rights to negotiate a contract with Japanese superstar pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka. Boston placed a bid and Matsuzaka signed a 6-year, $52 million contract.
The Red Sox moved into first place in the AL East and never relinquished their division lead. By the All-Star break, Boston had the best record in baseball and held their largest lead in the American League East, 10 games over the Blue Jays and Yankees. In the second half, more stars emerged for the Red Sox as they continued to lead the AL East. The Red Sox became the first team to clinch a playoff spot for the 2007 season and the Red Sox captured their first AL East title since 1995. The Red Sox swept the Angels in the ALDS. The Red Sox captured their twelfth American League pennant by outscoring the Indians 30–5 over the final three games, winning the final two games at Fenway Park. The Red Sox faced the Colorado Rockies in the 2007 World Series, capturing their second title in four years. The Red Sox began the 2008 season by participating in the third opening day game in history to be played in Japan, where they defeated the Oakland A's in the Tokyo Dome. Boston played well to start the season, settling into a top position in the AL East.

8-20-09 Nationals Park
With the Pirates having an off day, and Cleveland facing a 60% chance of storms, I decided to take a trip to a stadium I had yet to visit. Nationals Park.
I recruited several ballhawks from PNC Park to make the trip with me – Nick, Andrew, and Jamie.
After four hours and twenty three minutes, we were at the park.
And were the first ones in line at the Center Field gate, which opens at 4:35.
Game: 11 balls (4 hit, 1 thrown 6 device)
Season: 305 balls (155 hit, 91 thrown, 59 device)
Games: 63 games (7 of which didn't have BP)
Average: 4.84 balls per game
Career: 471 balls
Streak: 78 consecutive games attended with at least 1 ball snagged.
Attendance: 18,036

Congrats on double digits.
Do you get disappointed when you snagged a practice ball rather than an official ball? I notice you snagged four.
That ball on the bottom right is beautiful! It looks like it rolled through a puddle of melted green crayons.
Hey! Double digits is an impressive feat for anyone in any stadium! Congratulations, dude. That stadium looks like a great place to run around and chase baseballs. Hopefully I'll get out to DC someday…
I was expecting the training balls from the Nationals. I really didn't mind. I was more excited to get those first few balls out of the way. My goal for the day was 6 – to get to 300 – so I didn't think twice at the time if it was a training ball or not. I know a lot of people absolutely hate these balls though.
That last ball was ball #11 that I glove tricked from the gap. It must've picked up that paint off of the back wall. You're right though, it does look nice – I like getting unique balls like that.
Thanks a lot. Nationals Park is a great park to ballhawk in. I'm lucky enough to have a few great ones within four hours or less for ballhawking: Camden, Nationals, Progressive and PNC (for the first 30 min of STH time)
Security wouldve given you a warning before they took the glove away.
And in the picture of ball 11, there was probably another ball under the wood, after i botched the glove trick in the same spot ( i had already been warned about using it, so i brought my glove up too fast and it hit the bars on the left side of the pic, and the ball fell out, and bounced under the wood)
Good job though, but im surprised you couldnt get anything during the game.

North Bennington has new school trusteesBy Patrick McArdle
Staff Writer | March 07,2013NORTH BENNINGTON — Officials at the Village School of North Bennington released a list this week of seven locals who have joined their board of trustees.
Jeb Gorham, Don McKenna, Jeanne McWaters, David Monks, Rachel Schumacher, Peter Niles and Meg Woolmington join local residents Brian McKenna and Eva Sutton on the board. Because the board oversees an independent school, its members are not elected. Biographies of the members of the board are expected to be posted to the website, vsnb.org, shortly.
The Village School of North Bennington, which will use the building and grounds of the North Bennington Graded School, is expected to open for the 2013-14 school year. The graded school, which is a public school, is scheduled to close at the end of the current school year so the independent school can open at the same site.
The School Board in the village, the North Bennington Prudential Committee, will continue to operate although they will now be considered a "non-operating district" because they don't operate a public school.
On Tuesday, voters approved the North Bennington school budget of $2,317,535. The budget had to be voted in two parts by state law because North Bennington spent more per pupil than the state average last year and the proposed budget is more than last year's budget adjusted for inflation.
The votes on the budget were 205-147 and 196-153.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Vermont hunting, fishing and trapping licenses for 2017 will be available Dec.

CSF Report
About the Fellowship | Current Fellow | Hall of Fame | Reports
Geology from the Hill: Midyear Report
by Chester F. (Skip) Watts, 2001-02 GSA Congressional Science Fellow
Reprinted from GSA Today, v. 12, no. 7 (July 2002)
Much has happened since my first report to the Society (GSA Today, March 2002, p. 20-21). The fellowship year did have a challenging beginning. My introduction to Capitol Hill was dominated by the terror attacks of September 11 on New York and Washington, which were followed by the anthrax evacuations of the Hart Senate Office Building and then cramped working conditions, as we squeezed into makeshift office space.
Life on the Hill has settled down to a "new normal," and we are finally back home in Hart. Now it's the work itself that is challenging. The issues Congress is grappling with are both crucial and contentious. The public policy process is fascinating, although sometimes convoluted. There clearly is a need and a place for science in the formulation of national public policy, but more often than not, science turns out not to be the final deciding factor.
I am very fortunate to be on the personal staff of Senator Joseph I. Lieberman. This democrat from Connecticut was a 2001 recipient of the Pick and Gavel Award, established by the Association of American State Geologists to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to advancing or facilitating the role of the geosciences in the public policy arena. In this article, I describe some of the geoscience issues facing the nation's 107th Congress.
As one of the first staffers into the Hart building on January 22, my feelings were probably not unlike those of archaeologists unearthing the ruins of Pompeii, also rapidly abandoned, but in 79 A.D. rather than 2001 A.D. A distant day seemed frozen in time as I walked through the building and the office suite. Coffee mugs sat where they were left on desks, messages from October waited to be collected from fax machines, while vital documents and works in progress that were so important months earlier lay neglected. Whenever necessary, the work of the U.S. Senate was reconstructed and completed elsewhere in temporary quarters. Government continued to function despite the efforts of terrorists.
Among the hot geoscience-related policy debates of the 107th Congress are: evolution versus creationism in the schools, drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and disposal of high-level nuclear waste beneath Yucca Mountain in Nevada. Other hot science and technology issues include: widespread deployment of broadband Internet services and incentives to help colleges and universities produce greater numbers of physical scientists and mathematicians. Naturally, defense and homeland security matters are ever present and include dealing with the potential of more advanced bio-terrorist attacks, aircraft and airport protection, fighting the war in Central Asia, highway bridge and tunnel security in the United States, and water supply protection. Space and time prevent me from detailing all of these issues, so I will make do with some general remarks.
Members of Congress clearly strive to fulfill the wishes of their constituents. Nowhere is this more clearly demonstrated than in the two energy-related matters of (1) drilling for oil in Alaska, and (2) disposing of nuclear waste in Nevada. Both of these issues are complex, the debates are heated, and the results will be far-reaching. The debates occur against a backdrop of national and international energy concerns. How can an energy-hungry society meet its energy demands? How much dependence should there be on foreign oil from troubled regions? How do we balance the demand for energy with the desire and need to protect the environment?
The senators from Alaska are passionately in favor of drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Geologically speaking, the oil is there, and although the quantities are not clearly known, it is believed to be enough to reduce foreign need for a reasonable time. The technology to remove it with minimal impact exists. Notably, it would bring jobs and revenue to the people of Alaska. On the other hand, many folks have strong visceral feelings that a wildlife refuge should simply not be tampered with, especially when other sources of energy are available, and we have not yet done enough in the way of energy management and conservation. Senator Lieberman is among those and has even vowed to filibuster on the Senate floor if necessary to block the drilling in Alaska.
With regard to nuclear energy, the senators from Nevada are vehemently opposed to the disposal of high-level nuclear waste from all across the United States beneath Yucca Mountain. Their concern is the safety of the citizens of their state. There still remain some unanswered geologic questions. How much heat will the waste generate? How will the heat affect rock and water chemistry? Are the groundwater flow patterns clearly understood? Must we rely only on geologic containment or can we supplement that with engineered containment? And, there are concerns about safely transporting the waste across the country to the facility. These are only some of the many thorny issues.
Clearly, simple solutions to today's energy concerns are not easy to find. Having been involved in the debate over disposal sites in crystalline rock in the east in the 1980s, and having watched the debate for disposal sites in the salt deposits of the Gulf Coast areas with interest, I recognize that we are running out of time. Storage space at some power plants will soon be filled, and the safety and security of so many temporary storage facilities across the country is questionable.
The brief discussions here do not begin to do justice to these difficult matters. By the time this article is published, the congressional votes will have been made and the die will be cast on some of the crucial energy issues facing this country. But this discussion does, at least, provide a sense of the day-to-day complexities of geology from the Hill.
Next time: the daily work of a congressional science fellow.

All Pitching, No Offense In 14 Inning Loss
On paper, Cliff Lee had a good night against the Mets on Sunday. He went seven innings, allowing just one run. But he did walk two batters, which is not usual for Lee, and gave up eight hits.
A tough first inning where Lee had to throw 34 pitches to get out of it probably cut his day a bit short. But it did not matter too much as neither offense felt like playing.
Chris Young was very good for the Mets and allowed just two hits to the Phillies. His wind-up is similar to that of ex-Phillie, J.A. Happ, as he hides the ball behind his leg before releasing, which probably keeps the hitter guessing.
While the offense was sleepy, the defense had a few nice plays. It seems that Pete Orr, filling in at second base, has a penchant for going airborne:
The outfielders looked good too, unless they were at the plate, of course. No one looked good on offense:
In fact, Raul Ibanez is still mired in a huge slump and is now 0-34. He had chances to break out and propel the team to a win but he struck out in the seventh with two runners on. And in the eighth, Ibanez had the bases loaded with two outs in a tie game and he hit a weak ground ball to end the inning.
The Phillies left the bases loaded earlier in the game, too. Brian Schneider struck out on a check swing in the seventh, which was a late call from the 3rd base ump and prompted Charlie Manuel to get himself tossed out of the game.
Eventually, Kyle Kendrick gave up the winning run in the 14th inning, handing the Mets a 2-1 win.
But there were still a few special moments during the game. People began to get word of Osama bin Laden's demise via smartphone and chants of "USA! USA!" rang throughout the ballpark before even the players knew what had happened.
It was a touching moment where all fans, Phillies and Mets together, could celebrate something together. So the next time someone rags on Philly fans and goes on about some 40-year old Santa Claus crap, show them this video. These fans far outnumber the select few morons who simply cannot conduct themselves in a proper manner in public.
So a loss for the Phillies was still a win for America. I am more than okay with that.
FYI – Here is the full Photo Album from the game.
***Important Blog FYI: The entire MLBlogs community is going to be switched to a WordPress format beginning on Friday, May 6. The transition may last through Monday night, May 9. All MLBlogs writers will be unable to post and you will be unable to access any MLBlogs during this transition. So do not panic if this and other blogs suddenly disappear during that weekend…we will be back :O)***
Go Phillies!

Those photos are great! Orr really does fly. Yes, the offense has to at least show up and on a regular basis or all of the best pitching in the world means nothing. By the way, I thought the stories about the spontaneous show of patriotism yesterday as the news broke during your game was really great and far more indicative of Phillies fans' character and, indeed, that of baseball fans as a whole than any of the collections of bad apple fan incident stories all of our fan bases have.
This is a very simple game…

Man denies trespass chargeSeptember 13,2013Local man denies
a trespass charge
A Castleton man with a burglary conviction denied breaking into his grandfathers home.
Christopher Dodge, 24, returned to Rutland jail after pleading innocent Thursday in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of unlawful trespass.
Police said Dodge was found in the Castleton home of his grandfather in June. Affidavits state the grandfather had left the home and asked another grandson to watch the place because he feared Dodge would rob the place.
The grandson found Dodge in the house and called police, affidavits said. Dodge was on probation after serving one year in prison following a conviction for burglarizing a different Castleton home in 2011, records show.
Immediately after the June incident, Dodges probation officer ordered a drug test. Dodge tested positive for cocaine, heroin and marijuana and he was jailed, records state.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont attorney generals office says drug companies have complied with a state...
