Reviews for Cherry Chip Scones
"I have made these quite a few times and get requests for more everytime. This past time I had purchased a baking stone and baked them on it. Wow! THEY WERE EVEN BETTER."
"This is fantastic. I have also used frozen raspberries to this when I didnt have the dried cherries. Worked out great."
"Wow! What a delicious recipe! I made it for family last weekend and they turned out great! I made a double batch and the scones were a bit large, so today I repeated for my coworkers and cut each of the 16 scones in half. Great size for snacking!Some tricks that may be helpful:If you do the double batch, don't forget to swap the trays halfway through baking or you'll get some with toastier tops and some with dark bottoms.Also, try swapping the dried cherries for the more readily available craisins (dried cranberries). Completely scrumptious!While mixing the butter into the dry-mixture, use your hands. That's really the only way to get the crumbly consistency that you are looking for.Also, I swapped cow's milk for almond milk, which was a fine sub.And for the most recent batch, I ran out of unbleached, white flour and swapped one cup of whole wheat. I really think that made them even better with some more complex flavor!Happy baking!"
"Huge scones as written. I'll cut them smaller next time. The milk burnt on the bottoms too; I won't use it next time."
"I am surprised that nobody comented on how sweet these scones are. I had sugar shock when I made these the first time. You have a whole half cup, vanilla yogurt with sugar, cherries that also have sugar in them, and super sweet white chips. Its too much. Cut the sugar cut the calories and be healthier. I am used to cutting sugar in quick breads and if I eat a traditional recipe it really stands out. 2 T of sugar is plenty for this recipe and usually nobody will ever miss the extra sugar."
"I've been making these scones since they were published in the TOH magazine several years ago.Both my daughters have had the same 2nd grade teacher. 3 years ago I made these for this teacher as a Christmas gift. They made such an impression that she requested them again! She'll also be receiving a copy of the recipe so she can make them often."
"I've made this a number of times and it always turns out great. Today I went to make it and had neither the vanilla yogurt nor enough cranberries so I substituted peach yogurt and dried apricots. Even better! This is a GREAT recipe!"
"My picky husband loves these!"
"This was really excellent. I took the advice of others and made two 9-inch circles to make 16 scones. They were still huge and I might cut them even smaller next time. I accidentally bought cranberries instead of cherries, but it didn't matter, it was delicious! :)"
"These are the perfect scones!! These combination of cherries and chips is awesome."

The Olympic torch enters London with one week to go until 2012 Olympic Games
By Merryn Sherwood on 20/07/12 at 6:35 pm
With exactly one week to go until the London 2012 Olympic Games opening ceremony, the Olympic Flame will be abseiled from a helicopter to the Tower of London this evening as it arrives for its seven-day journey around the Host City.
The Olympic Torch Relay – presented by Coca-Cola, Lloyds TSB and Samsung – has visited over 1,000 communities around the UK and celebrated the achievements of over 7,000 Torchbearers to date. In total 10.2 million people have lined the streets to see the Flame.
In London, the the final leg of its journey, the Torch will be carried by 982 Torchbearers around 200 miles of the capital's streets. The final day of the Relay – 27 July – will see 18 Torchbearers carry the Flame, seven of whom will travel with it down the River Thames on Gloriana, the royal barge.
Sebastian Coe, Chair of LOCOG said: 'Thank you to everyone who has cheered on the Torchbearers right around the UK and helped to build the excitement towards the start of the Games. With eleven days to go until the Olympic Flame the lights the cauldron at the Opening Ceremony it is great to see London ready to welcome the Flame and set to celebrate inspiring people and amazing places in each and every Borough.'
Millions of people across the UK are preparing to join in a day of celebrations on Friday 27 July. The day will begin with bells ringing across the UK, as quickly and loudly as possible, at 8.12am for three minutes. This is part of the London 2012 Festival commission 'All The Bells' by Turner Prize winning artist Martin Creed.
Anyone can take part by ringing any kind of bell for three minutes – from change ringing experts to enthusiastic children with hand bells, bicycle bells and doorbells.
The latest update of the free official London 2012 Join In mobile application allows anyone to play the Martin Creed bell sequence by tapping or shaking their phone like a hand bell. Find out more here
Friday 27 July marks the final day of the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay. After being carried through the world's oldest hedge maze at Hampton Court Palace the Flame will board The Queen's Rowbarge 'Gloriana' where a ceremonial cauldron will be lit. Over the course of the morning seven Torchbearers on board the Gloriana will light a Torch from the cauldron and carry the Flame for about eight minutes each. The finale to the public participation in the Torch Relay will see the last Torchbearer on the Gloriana carry the Flame to Tower Bridge at approximately 12.45pm. The Flame will then remain out of view until it appears at the Opening Ceremony that evening.
The worldwide broadcast of Danny Boyle's 'Isles of Wonder' Olympic Opening Ceremony will commence at 9pm (local time) to an estimated audience of 1 billion people around the world.

Hi ladies. I've posted on here several times about various issues. I'm at a loss and I don't know what to do. My son will be one month old tomorrow and we are still having breastfeeding problems. I will start by saying that I have worked with the lactation consultants in my area already (as I know this will be a suggestion).
Just a bit of background. I was exclusively breastfeeding until 2 1/2 weeks. My son wasn't gaining his weight back and was always seeming hungry. I was nursing every 1 1/2 - 2 hours around the clock. In addition, in order to get up my supply up I was pumping after every feeding and then giving him what was left (which was not very much!) I started on herbs (fenugreek), drank plenty of water, etc. He was still starving. We supplemented (per our pediatrician suggestion due to not gaining weight) with formula. Whenever I supplemented, I made sure to pump (even at 3:00 in the morning!)
Well, I just can't make enough milk!! When I pump I barely get 1-2 ounces the most! (I know that pumping isn't a good indication of what the baby gets!) However, when we weigh him before and after, I see that he isn't getting more than 1-2 ounces. After about 5-10 minutes of vigorous sucking, he pulls off and gets annoyed b/c it's dry.
What else can I do to build supply?? I'm at a loss. I want to get back to exclusively breastfeeding, but it doesn't seem possible.
I feel like such a failure. I'm fit, eat really healthy, and am in perfect health. Why is this happening? Also, who do I talk to about this? Do I talk to my pediatrician or my midwife?

Buy This Book: IDW's 'G.I. Joe: Silent Interlude' 30th Anniversary Hardcover
Under normal circumstances, I don't think that even I could recommend a $20 hardcover collection of one (1) 22-page comic book. Fortunately for me -- and unfortunately for my wallet -- "Silent Interlude" is a comic that has nothing to do with normal circumstances.
Originally released back in 1984 as G.I. Joe #21, the story is pretty uncontested as one of the all-time classics of modern comics, a "silent" story told with no dialogue, where Snake-Eyes infiltrated Destro's castle on a deadly mission to rescue Scarlett, who was busy breaking out at the same time. It's a pivotal moment for the series, setting up connection between Storm Shadow and Snake-Eyes that would become one of the driving forces of the franchise, but more than that, it's a really great comic, and this week's IDW's putting it out in a special hardcover, along with Larry Hama's original breakdowns.

Your first plea:
And while you're at it, VOTE Chase and VOTE Pedro. I won't blame you if you VOTE Howard or VOTE Victorino, too.
But for the love of Raul, VOTE RAUL.
0 Comments
Taking the stepdaughter on Saturday. Maybe I'll get there really early and set her loose on a stack of ballots. Think they'll give us a carton of them?
Awesome, Tim! Make sure this post stays on top !
My buddy was out in CA for a vacation and saw the Mets/Giants game the other week that was on Sunday Night Baseball. He said the Giants gave out free Lincecum bobbleheads to anyone who filled out a stack of ballots that was as high as their ticket. How sweet is that?! The Phils have to get a promotion like that going because with the attention our players already get from around the league our guys should all be closer to the top of the list.
I did my part. Had Howard, Utley, Feliz, Victorino, Raul, and Matt Stairs for good measure
I just voted my maximum 25 times….all Phillies!
Also throw a few votes in there for Raul and Ryan for the DERBY!!!
Yes, this post needs to be pinned up top.
Voted 100 times, I have 4 different e-mail addresses. All Phillies.
DO NOT VOTE FOR BREWERS PLAYERS! They've been out of control.
Bill Hall in 2nd place after Wright? I'm voting for Zimmerman who's having an amazing season!
J.J. Hardy in 1st place in SS? WHAT!?
Jason Kendall in 2nd place in catcher?!!!
Rickie Weeks in 2nd place in 2B?!
Corey Hart just 2,000 votes behind RAUUUUULLL????? Mike Cameron with MORE votes than RAUUUUULLL??!!! AGH! I hate those pesky fans. Last year they snubbed Pat the Bat with the Corey Hart campaign… we can't let the same happen to Raul!!
Right behind you Dan, voted through all my email addies, Got my wife, family to vote too. and have filled out about 20 at the games. No hanging chads! This truly will be a campaign, like Burrell last year, but Raul is as deserving as it gets.
Had to put my votes on K-Rod instead of that bum Lidge we have. Another one year wonder.
Vote Ryan Fitzpatrick…
Just be thankful enough of the all-star team is chosen by the manager so you know Raul's in even if he misses the retard… sorry 'fan' vote
Manny – as I said on the other board, Milwaukee is mobilizing their Brew Crew fans well, we need to do the same… make it a Phillies/Brewers All star game LOL
Vote on K-Rod? Considering you cannot vote for pitchers……
Just voted 3 million times on my own! Kidding, did it 25 times tho.
Brewers suck.
Just voted 50 times for most phillies & no Brewers.
Just voted for hall. I would like to see the league pick the players, scouts who see these guys and managers not the fans who will vote in there players no matter how bad they are. I really would like a write in campaign for brunlett. lets do it.
Just voted 50 times for all Phillies and Ryan Braun….Hes too good..Im sorry..He will get in regardless…although he just got injured
Voted 50 times with 2 email accounts so far… I want this NL team to win, so I'm not voting for any of those pesky Brewers… Ryan Braun will make it regardless. We need to get JJ Hardy out of 1st place in SS, too. He's no All-Star.
How the F is JJ Hardy in 1st? He's batting .234 with 5 HR and 0 SB.
Charlie gets one selection and if by chance RAULLLL doesn't get in, Charlie would have to pick him or face death by stoning… or some really harsh booing.
My ballot:
Brian McCann
Albert Pujols
Chase Utley
Ryan Zimmerman
Hanley Ramirez
Raul Ibanez
Carlos Beltran
Ryan Braun
I thought it was a secret ballot!? Oh No!
Charlie will pick Raul if he doesn't make it. I'm starting to despise the Brewers… Hardy, Weeks, and Kendall????? C'mon these guys don't deserve it.
Tim has what should happen if all people had brains..
Tim, we have very similar ballots… but I'm voting for Howard because he should be the 2nd firstbaseman, not Prince Fielder! I really wanna see Howard in his hometown.. he's god in that ballpark.
I'd be much better to get Raul in the All-Star game via fan voting, though.
My ballot was the same except I voted for Howard on half of my ballots (homer pick, I know… Pujols is having a hell of a year), David Wright and J. Russell Martin. I might have voted for Adam Dunn on some of the ballots, too… he's having a phenomenal year.
50 more votes for the phightens
100 more votes for the Phillies!
Just an FYI…vote for who you think should be there 25 times. Voting for all Phillies and no Brewers is really no different than basically what the Brewers fans are doing. This whole process is flawed. I just wish that all star games were not the popularity contests that they have become. In reality the only Phillies who currently deserve to go to the All Star game are Utley, Ibanez and Pedro. Maybe Howard but thats about it.
Ed agree but I have to vote as many write in as possible for brunlett, because the way they pick now is stupid. It' a popularity contest. and that is a shame.
Ed obviously missed the Napoleon reference… Pedro doesn't deserve to be an all star.
Also, VOTE RonpAUL
just voted like 100 times. 😀
Obviously I missed nothing. Pedro has the 4th best numbers of any 3B in the NL with only Zimmerman, Wright and Blake ahead of him. And if you look at his numbers with RISP, 2 outs and the 7th inning or later they are just crazy good. No reason someone like that shouldn't be rewarded for that. 25 rbi with just 2 home runs means he is getting guys home without hitting the long ball…which is a topic for another discussion. How does a right hander not kill balls to left field when they play their home games at CBP? I don't get it.
Im with you on that one man…audit the fed!
As much as Auditing the Federal Reserve would be a great idea, I don't believe that is a proper topic to present on our website.
And the best strategy to help Raul is to ONLY vote for Raul in the outfield. Don't vote for any other outfielder. Voting for more than one waters down the impact of your vote for Raul. And, sorry, Shane & Jayson, but you're not making the team this year. Maybe next year.
Voted 50 times, is their a site where you can see like updated count on votes?
yea I just saw that.
anybody see what Zambrano did? lol hahaha.
The only philly all-star right now is Raul… and hahahaha… how about your Lidge… ain't so perfect is he…… World Series my ass
Man I hope they don't put in Lidge…the phillies will lose
Wow Lidge beat the Nationals.wow…hes great….man o man his is so good…..they beat the nationals….man o man

The Filibuster
Ken Griffey, Jr. found his way back to Seattle last week despite his
obvious decline in market value. What does it say about a team when
its best shot at putting fans in the seats is to sign a dilapidated
hero of old on the cheap? Will this be a trend? And ultimately, Is it
fair to the fans?
Dilapidated hero of old? I don't remember you saying that when Griffey was playing for the White Sox last season. In fact, if I remember correctly, you were pretty excited about it. That statement is more than silly. It's ignorant.
Here's the deal, Mr. Lung. The Mariners are terrible. They lost more than 100 hundred games last year. But they're also a proud franchise and a franchise that was built by that "dilapidated hero of old" that they just signed. This signing isn't about turning the franchise around this season or building a playoff team around Junior. It's about restoring some pride to the franchise and letting Griffey play his probable last season back where he began. It's good for the team, it's good for the fans and it's good for Junior.
Now, if you want to look at the signing from a pragmatic standpoint, it still makes sense. After all the problems Griffey has had physically, he's probably not going to be playing 162 games in the outfield. He's also not the same player defensively that he was while playing with the Mariners back in the day. And that's a liability in the National League. It's the same problem the Giants ran into with Barry Bonds (along with, well, you know, that "other" problem). It didn't make sense for Griffey to go to the Braves.
But Junior back in Seattle? That makes sense. When he's healthy, he adds depth to their outfield and even when he's not able to go at full speed, you can still include his bat in the DH spot. Yes, you're right. Junior is not the same player that we grew up watching. But he's still a formidable threat and it's a win-win situation for the Mariners.
Now, as for your other question, about this being a trend for players to return to the teams they started off with, I don't know if it is but I can think of worse things. It makes sense that Griffey should end his career in a Seattle uniform. It would make sense for Smoltz and Glavine to end their careers in Atlanta. It's how we know them and it's where they belong. I'm sure that if the Cards ever traded Pujols away, you'd still want him back, even if he wasn't in MVP form. In many ways, free agency has gutted baseball but every once in awhile it works out in our favor. This is one of those times.

I agree with you Allen (don't throw anything at me Jeff!) that it makes sense for Griffey to retire in a Seattle uniform. While it would have been nice for Smoltz to retire from Atlanta, I am glad he is with us; if for no other reason then I think he feels he has something to prove. Now play nice boys!
Speaking of trading Pujols…You for or against the monster package you would receive?
I have to say I've very happy to see the return of the filibuster. Everyday a little more baseball creeps back to life and I love it.
And I think Griffey should be in Seattle. Who knows? Maybe they'll make a Cinderella run for the ole kid.
I doubt it, but it would be lovely. Not for me, because they're American League, but for Junior's sake.
I hate these kind of deals that are about marketing as much as sport. They may as well field a team of Bobblehead Dolls. Actually…….
I think it only works out well for fans of AL teams (assuming we're talking about position players and not pitchers). Aging stars may still have some pop in their bat, but defensively may be a liability. In the AL there's always the DH. Come to think of it, the DH is one of the reasons I've never liked the AL – it allows players past their prime to continue to try to play instead of bowing out gracefully. Just my opinion.
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
100 hundred eh? Well lets see, multiply by three, add the denominator, subtract the quotient, divide by the remainder and feed the dog and you get… 10,000. That's a lotta losing. Sorry, it's the accountant in me. Anyhoo, nitpickery aside, I like the move, the tigers will never be able to make a move based purely on nostalgia since, well, they just haven't had any really good long tenured players. Maybe one day we can have Bobby Higginson day at Comerica and relive the good ol days of losing 119 games and feeling good about it. You know you're a tigers fan when…. The highlight of your season is winning 5 of 6 to avoid the all time losses mark, you think Mike Maroth had a solid season… with nine wins and Ugueth 'Machetes and Gasoline' Urbina is seen as a solid addition to your club.
As a Cardinals fan, I'd love to have Urbina on my team. And what's with all the Pujols trade talk guys? Get real. AP ain't never leavin' the Lou. NEVER.
I like the symmetry of players going home again: Griffey, Glavine, Giambi. (Hey, they all start with "G." Who knew?) I agree with Allen. It's fun for the fans and brings potential marketing opportunities for the teams.
I am more than happy to see Junior again in the arms of the Safeco Field fan-dom. I love the fact that he has taken a page from Mark McGuire and put attendance situations in his contract. He was great for fans when he was in Seattle before, and he will reward them again real soon.
The guy is the generational guy we all have seen grow from a rookie to retirement age. People always wonder what it was like to see Rusty Staub or Stan Musial play in their primes. We have all seen Griffey Jr. at his best, and I think he still has some magic to show all of us in 2009.
I actually look forward to the first Seattle series at Tropicana Field in 2009. I will be over there trying to get a autograph from one of the greatest pure hitters of my generation.
Rays Renegade
I cannot find a single thing to disagree with you on this topic. Griffey going back to Seattle makes sense of so many levels. Aside from what he will bring to the team with his experience and his abilities ("dilapidated" or otherwise), Griffey Jr also brings in much needed cash revenue. The problem with so many teams right now is a lack of income to be able to dump into their players. That's why 99% of you guys hate the Yankees. They make money, they spend money, they make MORE money on what they spent, and then spend MORE of it, etc. It's a cycle.
Free agency has robbed up of the "franchise" players. You have guys that play for about a dozen teams in their careers who end up being "homeless" in a sense (see A-Rod).
I will use the Yankees as a point of reference. They have abused free agency more so than any other team. However, they have maintained a core of franchise players: Jeter, Posada, Mo, and to a lesser extent Pettitte (who left for Houston, and ended up coming home anyway).
These guys make the clubs revenue. They give the city identity.
When the As, or the Mariners, or the Pirates, etc are in a position to have to trade away young players who start to make decent numbers and require larger contracts, they are handing off their investments. They bring these guys up, teach them, train them, develop them, and then sell them. It's like a major league farm system. It's dumb.
George Steinbrenner said free agency would ruin baseball. He's not too far from it.
I love seeing players establish themselves in a city, even if leaving briefly, only to return. Even Yogi Berra had to get away for a short while. He came back home in time. There was no debate what logo would be on his hall of fame cap.
Good on ya, Griffey! Wise move, Seattle.
Roshkoch — You make more sense than Allen. Nice.
I have always been a Griffey fan and hope he goes out with a bang in a M's uniform.

Farm Bill
/ Wetlands Reserve Program WRP
Loading Tree...
20 Years of Restoring America's Wetlands
More than 11,000 of America's private landowners have voluntarily enrolled over 2.3 million acres into the Wetlands Reserve Program. The cumulative benefits of these wetlands reach well beyond their boundaries to improve watershed health, the vitality of agricultural lands, and the aesthetics and economies of local communities.
Easement Program Funding Expiration
The enrollment authority for the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), Grassland Reserve Program (GRP), and the Healthy Forest Reserve Program (HFRP) expired on September 30, 2013. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is not authorized to take applications or enter into any new contracts, agreements, or enrollments at this time. These NRCS easement programs will not be available for new enrollments until either the current legislation is extended or a new Farm Bill is enacted. The Agency will continue to service prior-year enrollments in these programs.
20 Years: Restoring America's Wetlands Pamphlet
The Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) is a voluntary program offering landowners the opportunity to protect, restore, and enhance wetlands on their property.
The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) provides technical and financial support to help landowners with their wetland restoration efforts. This program offers landowners an opportunity to establish long-term conservation and wildlife practices and protection. The goal of NRCS is to achieve the greatest wetland functions and values, along with optimum wildlife habitat, on every acre enrolled in the program.
Lands eligible for WRP:
Lands established to trees through the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) are ineligible for WRP enrollment.
NRCS is committed to delivering all Farm Bill programs authorized through the 2008 Farm Bill and is eager to discuss with all interested parties about the many benefits that the WRP may offer.
Enrollment Options
Under the easement options the USDA will pay all costs associated with recording the easement in the local land records office, including recording fees, charges for abstracts, survey and appraisal fees, and title insurance. Under the voluntary easement the landowner retains the rights to: (1) control of access, (2) title and right to convey title, (3) quiet enjoyment, (4) undeveloped recreational uses, (5) subsurface resources, and (6) water rights.

Expanded bus services start rolling todayAnthony Edwards / Staff FILE Photo
Rutland Citys downtown transit center will see more buses pulling in with the start of service to White River Junction and Burlington.
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION Bus service in the region will be bolstered this summer when area bus companies add or expand services with the help of federal grants.
Advance Transit recently secured grant money to add a second bus to its Green Route, which primarily serves the Route 5 corridor from White River Junction to Hanover, N.H., and includes Hartford Village and West Lebanon, N.H. With the addition, buses on the route will run every 30 minutes instead of hourly.
Additionally, Vermont Translines, based in Milton, has announced the start today of daily, round-trip bus service along the Route 4 corridor from Rutland to Lebanon, with multiple Upper Valley stops. Also starting today is bus service from Burlington to Albany, N.Y. via Bennington and Rutland. Both routes are currently unserved.
Rutland to Upper Valley
Today, a Vermont Translines coach bus, which offers individual seats, a bathroom and Wi-Fi, will begin offering daily, round-trip service between Rutland and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Centers campus off Route 120, said Randy Charlebois, general manager and vice president of Vermont Translines.
The bus is scheduled to depart Rutland at 10:30 a.m. and make nine stops, including Mendon and Killington as well as the Upper Valley locations of Bridgewater, Woodstock, Quechee, White River Junction and Hanover, before reaching DHMC at 12:30 p.m.
It will depart the hospital at 2:35 p.m. and is scheduled to return to Rutland at 4:35 p.m., with stops at the same points on the way back.
We are hoping to be able to connect different people from different communities and meet their needs so that they have a means of transportation that is affordable, Charlebois said.
It will also be eco-friendly and reliable, and we dont feel like (potential riders) have that today.
The company created the new bus line with two main purposes in mind: To provide a service to those who lack means of transportation and to connect travelers with other bus systems in Vermont and New Hampshire.
A round-trip ticket from Rutland to White River Junction will cost $22, while a round-trip ticket from Rutland to Lebanon will run $26. All ticket prices are based on mileage.
A prior study suggested 12 passengers a day would use the service, though that number is expected to increase over time, Vermont Translines Assistant Manager Chip Desautels said.
There is tremendous excitement about having these connections, Desautels said.
Roughly a decade ago, Vermont Transit offered bus service along the Route 4 corridor, Charlebois said, but the route has been dormant for some time. This line will help restore that missing link, he said.
Burlington to Albany
Also today, Vermont Translines, a subsidiary of Premier Coach, which bills itself as Vermonts largest charter service provider for motorcoach, will launch a new line along Route 7 from Burlington to Albany, N.Y., Charlebois said.
Like Advance Transit, the companys route expansions are being paid for by a federal grant roughly $400,000 over two years that was awarded through the state Agency of Transportation.
Roughly $100,000 of the grant will go toward operating the Rutland-Lebanon route, while the remainder will subsidize the Route 7 service.
Once Advance Transit and Vermont Translines grant funding ends, officials said, they hope to secure additional funding to assist with continued operation of the services.

Tech CEOs: Here's Where the Growth Lies
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- "Caution" is the word in this technology earnings season, with heavyweights such as Intel(INTC) , Texas Instruments (TXN) , IBM(IBM) and Seagate(STX) lamenting spending softness and currency losses. Silicon Valley CEOs and CFOs, however, say there's no need to panic.
Texas Instruments CFO Kevin March said investors shouldn't be overly concerned about uncertain and sometimes unstable global economies, which informed its third-quarter guidance.
"It's not like we're heading for a global decline or anything," he said in an interview. "The important thing is that we're still growing, and we're likely to grow."
Texas Instruments, which is seen as a key barometer for the broader tech sector, nonetheless said customers are cautious about placing new orders.
Hard-drive specialist Seagate echoed this sentiment in its fiscal fourth-quarter results , released on Monday. "As we were exiting the quarter, there were a lot of macro headwinds that made it difficult to predict revenue," said Seagate CFO Pat O'Malley during an interview. "Our OEMs
O'Malley pointed, in particular, to a slowdown in China, the looming U.S. fiscal cliff and recessions in Europe as factors hurting spending.
"I don't think that anybody's predicting a 2008," he said, referring to the beginning of the biggest recession in eight decades. "It's not that the roof's coming in, but people are being prudent."
Seagate, despite wrestling with a supplier snag, still posted record revenue and unit shipments in the June quarter. "We're still putting up really solid numbers," said O'Malley.
Semiconductor specialist LSI (LSI) , which counts Seagate as a customer, posted strong second-quarter results last week, thanks partly to demand for its Flash-related products.
Nonetheless, LSI CEO Abhi Talwalkar reflected Seagate's comments. "There's definitely a cautious orientation out there," he said. "We're still growing in all the areas where we expected growth, but less than we expected three months ago -- wireless infrastructure capital equipment spending is still a bit slow."
F5 Networks (FFIV) met analysts' estimates in its third-quarter results in July, although CEO John McAdam identified a cautious spending climate.
"It was nothing as bad as early 2009, but there's definitely some signs of
To illustrate his point, McAdam noted that F5's hiring remains robust. "This last quarter, we hired just under 100 people," he said. "This quarter, we're hoping to exceed that, probably hiring about 125 people."
With economic issues weighing on Silicon Valley, the Nasdaq has gained just 0.1% during the past month, lagging the S&P 500's modest gain of 1.5%. The Nasdaq has risen more than 12% this year, outpacing the S&P 500's 9.9% gain.
Not all tech companies are feeling the spending burn, as evidenced by strong second-quarter numbers from EMC(EMC) . The results marked the company's 10th consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year revenue and profit growth.

U.S. Senate candidate focuses on deficitBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | September 30,2012Mark Collier / Staff Photo
Republican John MacGovern is running against incumbent Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., in the upcoming election for U.S. Senate in November.Deficit hawk John MacGovern says he has 16 trillion reasons Vermonters should elect him to the U.S. Senate in November.
Sen. Bernard Sanders, the popular first-term independent whos raised more than $5 million toward his re-election effort, looks poised to cruise to an overwhelming victory this fall.
But as the nations debt exceeds its gross domestic product, MacGovern says an economic house of cards is on the verge of collapse. And when it does, this former four-term Republican lawmaker in the Massachusetts House of Representatives says voters will look to fiscal conservatives like him to reconstruct the broken country.
When the economy was doing well and growth couldnt end, Vermont could afford to have someone there mouthing off with his silly ideas, MacGovern says of Sanders. But now that things are serious, I dont believe we can afford that anymore.
Raised on a dairy farm in Massachusetts, MacGovern, who is married and lives in Windsor, arrived in Vermont by way of Dartmouth College, where he majored in Chinese language and culture. His proficiency in the language would form the basis of his business career, which involved brokering deals in Taiwan and China on behalf of U.S. firms looking to broaden their reach into Asian markets.
Those were the days when the U.S. didnt have official relations with China, MacGovern says. In fact, I was in Taiwan when (Jimmy) Carter broke relations there.
Since moving to Windsor in the 1990s, MacGovern has served as president of the Hanover Institute, an alumni organization that has proven a thorn in the side of the Dartmouth establishment. Most notably, the organization succeeded in getting four dissident trustees elected to the universitys board of trustees.
MacGovern said he took on extraordinarily powerful interests at Dartmouth in order to restore power to alumni.
Now, he aims to bring the fight to federal politics.
Ive been in elections where there are these kind of tidal waves that upset apple carts, MacGovern says. And I think we could easily see that in this race.
MacGovern is no stranger to long-shot bids for higher office. When he took on incumbent Massachusetts Democrat Chet Atkins in his race for the U.S. House in 1990, we were in a situation much like the one were dealing with here.
And I nearly won, says MacGovern, who lost that race by two percentage points.
Hes been far less successful in Vermont, where he launched three failed bids for the Vermont Senate, and lost a race for the Vermont House in 2008 by a nearly 3-to-1 margin.
He says he thinks Vermonters are now ready to rally around a deficit-reduction economic platform that targets Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid for major reforms.
MacGovern says the so-called Ryan budget, a plan authored by Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan that would have replaced Medicare with a voucher system, is probably too timid.
We need the courage it takes to save these programs and it disturbs me that those rare political figures who talk this way are demonized and attacked by the likes of people like Bernie Sanders, MacGovern says.
Asked how hed reform Social Security, for instance, MacGovern says hes not ready to tip his hand.
Im not going to here and now suggest a global solution for Social Security except to say two things: One, everything should be on the table. Two, those who are currently receiving it would not have any of their benefits jeopardized, MacGovern says.
MacGovern says once hes in the Senate, its just a matter of working with some like-minded people and hammering out a deal.
Im not saying what I would support in the negotiation, he says. You just need to have some serious people who say what Im saying and then all get in a room and work it out.
As he enacts reforms to federal programs, MacGovern, 60, says he would simultaneously ease regulations on U.S. business.
What needs to happen is government needs to get out of the way, and stop putting burdens on businesses and entrepreneurs, and people who are creative and inventive the kind of people who built America, he says. I know that kind of person is still there.

A Cut Above1 of 15
By Brienne Walsh
Years after a television series has ended, the show's story lines are old news—but the characters' iconic hairstyles? We're still taking inspiration from them today. From Farrah's feathers to Felicity's pixie, here are our favorite hair moments in television history.
Tail End2 of 15
In I Dream of Jeannie, Barbara Eden's title character feminized her fez by wearing her long blond ponytail through the top of it.
Take a Shine3 of 15
In The Brady Bunch, Maureen McCormick's character Marcia Brady brushed her long blond hair 100 times a night—actually a no-no for keeping hair healthy.
Fine Feathers4 of 15
Most people couldn't name all three stars of the original Charlie's Angels series, but they could certainly name the one with the fantastic feathered blow-out: Farrah Fawcett.
Double Trouble5 of 15
Before Suzanne Somers rocked double pigtails playing Chrissy on Three's Company, the girlie look was reserved for tots and tweens. For a time, Somers helped make pigtails a viable style option for grownups, too.
Black Beauty6 of 15
As the vengeful ex-wife of a tycoon in Dynasty, Joan Collins' character Alexis was far from nice, and her raven black updo only enhanced her dark, scheming personality.
Great Lengths7 of 15
The Cosby Show's Denise Huxtable, played by Lisa Bonet, had a cool bohemian vibe that suited her long dreadlocks.
Straight Shooter8 of 15
One of our favorite girls next door was surely The Wonder Years' Winnie Cooper, played by Danica McKellar. And nothing defined her look better than those straight black tresses, which hung to her waist and sparked serious hair envy.
Pony Up9 of 15
Full House's Kimmy Gibbler, played by Andrea Barber, had a perky personality that matched her perky half ponytail—a true '90s hairstyle.
Bang-Up Job10 of 15
Unlike the rest of the California girls on Beverly Hills, 90210, who sported platinum locks, rebellious Brenda Walsh had blunt bangs and long brown hair. The style was so iconic that when actress Shannan Doherty cut it off, she was reportedly fired from the show.
Code Red11 of 15
In My So-Called Life, Claire Danes' shy, bookish character Angela Chase hid behind her shoulder-length red bob, peering through her hair to stare longingly at Jordan Catalano.
Layered Lady12 of 15
Request "The Rachel" at any salon, and chances are the stylist will know what look you're after—namely the short, bouncy layers that Jennifer Aniston sported during the first two seasons of Friends. Though the style inspired thousands of copycats, Aniston confessed she was never a fan of the famous cut.
Close Crop13 of 15
When Felicity, played by Keri Russell, chopped off her long curly hair in a moment of post-breakup liberation, the world gasped—or at least every teenage girl in America did. Ratings for Felicity took a dive after that, but the cut is still one of the most talked-about shockers in TV hair history.
Curl Power14 of 15
In Sex and the City, Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, had unruly curls that were almost as expressive as her writing—you could gauge her mood depending on how her hair was worn: loose and flowing, in a bun or seriously sleek.
Lush Locks15 of 15
Unlike her uptight Upper East Side peers in Gossip Girl, Blake Lively's character Serena eschewed headbands and neatly combed coifs in favor of a luscious blond mane, which reflected her free-spirited personality.

The rapping athlete, or "raplete," may be the most evil yet entertaining thing in sports.
The list of terrible rapletes continues to grow and it's as though athletes haven't realized they play sports for a reason. They choose to veer away from what they're really good at in order to spit rhymes and expand their brand.
However, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. As dreadful as the athlete may sound while rapping, it's entertaining for us, the common people, to laugh at their sweet, but sad failure.
In order to provide all of you with complete enjoyment, here is a list of the 25 worst athlete rappers of all time.

One of my culinary goals this year was to stop being such a wuss about preparing Vietnamese noodle soups at home. Four months and some change into 2012, I'm stoked to have mastered Bò Kho (Vietnamese beef stew), Bún Riêu Cua (Vietnamese crab and tomato soup), and most recently, Hủ Tiếu Mì (Vietnamese Pork Noodle Soup).
This most recent accomplishment coincided with my eldest cousin moving into town. Hủ Tiếu Mì is his absolute favorite noodle soup, and he requested that I make a huge vat of it just as soon as he arrived. He also asked for wontons to go with it, but that will be for another time. I need to concentrate on and conquer one dish at a time.
To learn the ins and outs of this Chinese-influenced noodle soup, I sought assistance from my aunt Thao. Something that she mentioned more than once was the importance of having a clear soup. To achieve this, the pork bones used to make the broth needs to boiled and cleaned, and one has to be diligent about skimming off any fat or foam that rises to the surface. Clear broth. Full bellies. Can't lose.
This recipe makes about a dozen bowls worth, which is just about perfect in my mind. My cousin came over twice for dinner along with his fiancee and took leftovers for breakfast the following morning. Making a tremendous amount of food and having family over to enjoy it made me feel like I was continuing our family's great tradition of nourishing and over-stuffing. This is what Vietnamese food is all about.
For broth
- 6 pounds pork bones (neck or spine—Grandma says that spine is tastiest)
- 1 daikon, peeled, trimmed, and cut in half or thirds
- 1 cup dried shrimp or 2 dried cuttlefish
- 7 tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon monosodium glutamate (optional)
For toppings and garnish
- 1.5 pounds ground pork
- 1.5 pounds pork shoulder/butt
- 2 bunch scallions, chopped
- Salt
- Pepper
For noodles
- 2 pounds thin or wide egg noodles (mì) or wide rice noodles (hủ tiếu), prepared according to directions on package
Make broth
Place the pork bones in a large stockpot. Fill the stockpot with enough water to cover the surface of the bones and bring to a boil. The pork bones will have some impurities that need to be washed away, so once the water comes to a boil, discard it and collect the bones in a colander.
One by one, rinse the bones to remove any scum. The cleaner the bones, the clearer the broth will be.

Frank House
On this date in 2005, Frank House passed away at age 75.
"Frank House was the catcher. When I came to the plate, he said, 'Kid, we're going to throw you a fastball.' I didn't know whether to believe him or not. I hit it out. It was one of the longest home runs I ever hit. As I crossed the plate, House said, 'That's the last time I ever tell you what pitch is coming.'" - Harmon Killebrew on his first major league home run.

After all the challenges with the baby, I found out, when I went for my bone scan this morning, that the radioactive isotope they used is excreted in breastmilk and they told me I shouldn't breastfeed for 3 days. I haven't been able to find it listed online anywhere by the specific name they gave me so, to be safe, I'm going to follow their advice. I'm concerned because usually when I pump I only get an ounce or so, so I hope my supply doesn't drop.
On the plus side, DD gained again (up 3 oz from Monday). My regular doctor wasn't there, so I saw a family practice guy instead. He was really nice, wasn't concerned that she didn't gain 5 oz in 5 days, said that she was gaining and that's fine. He asked why I wasn't just breastfeeding and was very supportive. If he wasn't in the same office as the pediatrician, where I run the risk of running in to her when I go to see him, I'd switch over. I'm still going to look for a new doctor.

Magistrate court may be on the move
NEW CUMBERLAND – Stymied by one building issue, Hancock County commissioners may have solved another one.
Commissioners learned Tuesday that the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals has given its OK for Hancock County Magistrate Court to move to the old New Cumberland Dollar General building on North Chester Street.
Commissioner Dan Greathouse said he hopes Magistrate Court, currently housed in a small, two-story building on South Court Street, can move to its new home by the end of the year.
Commissioners bought the Dollar General building in February for $232,000 after learning the store was moving to the former site of the Mid-Ridge Cafe on Ridge Avenue. The county already owns the land adjacent to the old Dollar General, as far south as Paula's House of Pets & Grooming.
Commissioners bought the 7,000-square-foot building in the hopes of using it for storage or other purposes.
"Since before we bought it, we've been talking about it. We've been wanting to do something with the Magistrate Court really badly," Greathouse said.
Magistrate Court, although at its current location for about 30 years, recently has become a bone of contention between commissioners and New Cumberland attorney Larry Manypenny, whose law office is next door to the court building. Manypenny claims ownership of the land up to and including the court's enclosed staircase and wants commissioners to compensate him for the county's use of the land.
Commissioners took Manypenny to court in February, asking for a permanent injunction to keep Manypenny from blocking access to the court building. The dispute remains unsettled, but Greathouse said moving Magistrate Court may "resolve some of that issue."
Greathouse said the Magistrate Court building could be razed to make room for parking spaces.
"That building's old. It's tight quarters. It's not a good building for them," he said. "Our intention is to tear that building down."
If so, it would be in keeping with an assessment made by the West Virginia Courthouse Facilities Improvement Authority in 2003. The state agency recommended the Magistrate Court building be demolished and the space used for a parking lot. Nothing was ever done with the report, which also recommended the construction of a 50,000-square-foot judicial annex to house the county circuit, magistrate and family law courts.
With the Supreme Court's OK, commissioners now will advertise for an architect to come up with a design for the new Magistrate Court home, Greathouse said.
Manypenny's office did not return a phone call seeking comment.
Commissioners also are considering their options three weeks after rejecting the construction bids for a two-building complex that would house the 911 Dispatch Center, the Hancock County Office of Emergency Management and the Hancock County Health Department.
All six bids came in well over the project estimate of $5 million.
"We had a pretty solid figure, so we were pretty shocked (at the estimates)," Greathouse said.
Commissioners have asked project architect L.R. Kimball, of Ebensburg, Pa., to come up with a new project estimate and report back to them by the end of July.
Thomas Zielinsky, executive director of the county's Office of Technology and Communication, said there may be ways to reduce the anticipated construction costs.
"We are going back and looking with our engineer (Kimball) as to where this thing might have been skewed," Zielinsky said. "There had to be a reason for the building cost being so much."
Even though Zielinsky is retiring at the end of this month, commissioners have agreed to keep him on temporarily as a part-time employee to deal with the 911 Center and other issues.
"I just didn't want to walk away with a lot of loose ends that needed to be tied up," he said.

No. 15 NASCAR Truck Team Penalized For Violations At Daytona
Wasn't that spoiler damaged in the race? I guess I don't understand this rule violation..lol
No. 15 NASCAR Truck Team Penalized For Violations At Daytona
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – NASCAR has issued penalties and fines to the No. 15 team that competes in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, as a result of rule infractions found during post-race inspection Feb. 18 at Daytona International Speedway.
The No. 15 truck driven by Michael Waltrip was found to be in violation of Sections 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing); 12-4-J (any determination by NASCAR Officials that the race equipment used in the event does not conform to NASCAR rules); and 20B-3.1.2E (rear spoiler did not meet specifications in post-race inspection) of the 2011 NASCAR Rule Book.
As a result, crew chief Doug Howe has been fined $25,000 and placed on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31. Owner Billy Ballew has been penalized with the loss of 25 championship owner points.

Teaching Students with Disabilities
Over 20 years of research and experience has demonstrated that the education of children with disabilities can be made more effective by having high expectations for such children and ensuring their access in the general curriculum to the maximum extent possible; coordinating the Act with other local, educational service agency, State, and Federal school improvement efforts in order to ensure that such children benefit from such efforts and that special education can become a service for children rather than a place where they are sent; providing appropriate special education and related services and aids and supports in the regular classroom to such children whenever appropriate; supporting high quality intensive professional development for all personnel who work with such children in order to ensure that they have the skills and knowledge necessary to enable them to meet developmental goals and to the maximum extent possible, those challenging expectations that have been established or all children...
- Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Sec. 601(c)(5)(A, C, D, E)
No Child Left Behind strongly affirms that all students can achieve to high standards, including students with disabilities. NCLB works in conjunction with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1997 (IDEA),23 which is the nation's special education law. Under the law, students with disabilities must have access to the same high-quality curriculum and instruction as all other students.
Through IDEA reauthorization, Congress is considering how the highly qualified teacher requirements should apply to special education teachers. It is understood that:
The highly qualified teacher requirements in No Child Left Behind apply to all general education teachers and special education teachers who teach core academic subjects. All teachers must have in-depth understanding of the subject matter they are teaching their students, so that students can meet grade-level standards.
These requirements apply whether the teacher provides core academic instruction in a regular classroom, a resource room or another setting.
General education and special education teachers need to be knowledgeable and skilled in how to teach all students, including students with disabilities, so that all students can achieve to high academic standards.
For more information on assessing students with disabilities, go to www.ed.gov/nclb/freedom/local/specedfactsheet.html.
How No Child Left Behind Bridges the Gap: Focusing on Educating All Students
Collaboration: No Child Left Behind promotes collaboration between general education teachers and special education teachers. Both NCLB and IDEA require that all students have access to the general curriculum.
Accountability: No Child Left Behind requires that accountability measures be put in place to ensure that students with disabilities have access to the general curriculum.
Decision Making: States and school districts across the country are examining the curriculum they provide to students with disabilities, changing testing policies with regard to those students, and taking positive steps to ensure that all teachers who instruct students in the core academic subjects have strong content knowledge as well as knowledge of how to best serve students with disabilities.
Using Funds: No Child Left Behind encourages states and districts to use professional development funds to support general education teachers and special education teachers. States can use a variety of funds to meet the needs of both general education teachers and special education teachers, as these educators strive to provide high-quality instruction. Funds are available through Titles I, II and V of NCLB to provide high-quality professional development for teachers. In addition, funding may be available under the IDEA and from other sources. For more information on how funds are used to support professional development for teachers in a particular area, contact the district or state department of education.
For more information on resources and supports for teachers of students with disabilities, see page 56-57.

Vermont broadband expansion proceeding in Orange CountyThe Associated Press | September 12,2013MONTPELIER - The Vermont Telecommunications Authority says broadband Internet service is expanding in northern Orange County.
The first seven miles of the Orange County Fiber Connector project are in service and a total of more than 32 miles of the 36-mile route have been hung on utility poles.
The route begins in Chelsea, generally follows Route 113 to Thetford and then Route 132 to Sharon.
The authority compares the fiber to interstate highways with a large capacity to transmit data. Internet service providers then connect customers to the fiber network.
Gov.

I have a confession to make. Let me tell 'ya…if I didn't get kicked out of the food blogging world for the post about blogging success that I wrote yesterday, I'm sure this revelation will be what does it. I have a very, very difficult time with side dishes for our family dinners. In fact, Knorr, Uncle Ben, Betty Crocker…if we are going to have a side in addition to fresh fruit, veggies and salad or some kind of potato, it comes from them. Flavored noodles, rice mixes, etc. from those little packages are sometimes what saves my dinners when I need a little more substance on the table.
Then, to make things more confusing, I come across this recipe for Dirty Rice over on one of my favorite blogs, Karen Bove's Our Life in the Kitchen. Dirty rice is like a side dish, but it has the meat in it, so is it a side dish or a main course or what? I'm so confused!
We used it as a main dish and served it with a salad and fresh fruit. I also set out some tortillas on the table, which I am pretty sure is not what dirty rice was intended for, but it made for some really tasty tortilla filling!
If you feel like taking pity on me and giving me some good ideas for side dishes with dinner, I'd certainly appreciate it. Otherwise, you can find me over on ousted food bloggers island. I'll be the one with the boxed mixes.
Recipe: Quick and Dirty Rice (Adapted from Karen Bove's Our Life in the Kitchen)
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1 Yellow Onion
- 2 Ribs celery, sliced
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can Bush's Black Beans
- 3 teaspoons Creole seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- 2 Bay Leaves
- 2 cups Rice
- 5 cups Beef Stock

Such a great record. Shame it's relegated to "compilation" status on here as it might be a bit better know otherwise. Great ambient-oriented music.
Written by Mr. Doctor on 21.12.2012 at 18:15
Do we really have some proof that it's a compilation? Because everywhere I look I just see it regarded as another full length.
Written by !J.O.O.E.! on 21.12.2012 at 18:22I suspect it's probably just a case of the wording that's given it compilation status. All the songs were recorded between 2000 and 2002. I just had a quick glance through his demos though and one of the tracks from this did appear on one of them (at least it had the same name) so it could literally be a compilation of unreleased and demo stuff. This does seem to be considered as an album rather than a compilation elsewhere though (MA, RYM, Discogs) so I might go ahead and change it.

Brian Delp Memorial 5K Run & 1 Mile Walk Will Be Held at BSC, September 25 Update
CreatedTuesday, September 11 2012
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
(Bluefield)—Ten years ago, Bluefield State College student Brian Delp lost his life while assisting a stranded motorist. On Tuesday, September 25, the seventh annual "Brian Delp Memorial 5K Run and Walk" will be held at Bluefield State College, beginning at 6:30 p.m. The event is designed to raise funds for the "Humanitarian Athletic Award," a scholarship in memory of Delp, who was a very active student leader and athlete during his years at BSC.
Entry fee is $15, in advance and $20 on the day of the race. Entry fee for walkers is $10 (no late fee). The format includes several age groups, and each participant receives a t-shirt. Additional information can be obtained online by visiting the Bluefield State College home page (bluefieldstate.edu), or by contacting Vonda Wilson, BSC Cross Country Coach and Athletic Department Administrative Secretary, at (304) 327-4208/e-mail, email@example.com
"Brian was an exceptional person," noted BSC athletic director Terry Brown. "He was a humanitarian, a leader, and an excellent student-athlete, and a Bonner Scholar. Brian was voted 'Mr. BSC' in 2000 and again in 2002. He held membership in the Student Government Association, Greek Council, and Student Ambassadors organization." Additionally, Brian was a combat medic with a Sergeant (combat medic) in the West Virginia Army National Guard, a civilian EMT, and a Habitat for Humanity volunteer.
The Brian A. Delp Humanitarian Athletic Award is presented in the form of two $250 scholarships (one award for a male student-athlete and one for a female student-athlete) per academic year. One of the scholarships is funded on an annual basis by local educators Tom and Janie Farmer. Scholarship applicants must be BSC student-athletes, two-year letter winners, and they must maintain at least a 2.5 grade point average, according to Brown.

- SN 1997cy/GRB 970514: a new piece in the gamma-ray burst puzzle?
- Author(s)
- Germany, Lisa M.; Reiss, David J.; Sadler, Elaine M.; Schmidt, Brian P.; Stubbs, C. W.
- Abstract
- We present observations of SN 1997cy, a supernova (SN) discovered as part of the Mount Stromlo Abell Cluster SN Search (Reiss et al.), which does not easily fit into the traditional classification scheme for supernovae. This object's extraordinary optical properties and coincidence with GRB 970514, a short duration gamma-ray burst (GRB), suggest a second case, after SN 1998bw/GRB 980425, for a SN-GRB association. SN 1997cy is among the most luminous SNe yet discovered (MR « -20.1, Ho = 65) and has a peculiar spectrum. We present evidence that SN 1997cy ejected approximately 2.6 Mo of 56Ni, supported by its late-time light curve and Fe II/[Fe III] lines in its spectrum, although it is possible that both these observations can be explained via circumstellar interaction. While SN 1998bw and SN 1997cy appear to be very different objects with respect to both their gamma-ray and optical properties, SN 1997cy and the optical transient associated with GRB 970508 have roughly similar late-time optical behavior. This similarity may indicate that the late-time optical output of these two intrinsically bright transient events have a common physical process. Although the connection between GRB 970514 and SN 1997cy is suggestive, it is not conclusive. However, if this association is real, follow-up of short duration GRBs detected with BATSE or HETE2 should reveal objects similar to SN 1997cy.
