"Ga-ga! Ga-ga! Ga-ga!"
Since erupting from the New York City music scene three years ago, the flamboyant Lady Gaga has sold 25 million single songs and put out two triple-platinum albums. She has 5 million followers on Twitter and 10 million on Facebook — the most of any person on earth. She holds the record for most YouTube views.
But success has not appeared to spoil the 24-year-old gigastar. She sent pizzas to fans who waited overnight on the sidewalks of New York to get good positions at the concert. During her last number, a summer squall, as if on cue, drenched her, her backup group and the crowd. And Lady Gaga, in the finest tradition of rock 'n' roll, embraced the rain as if it was a gift from heaven.
"Let it rain. Let it pour. You can't stop us," she interjected into her last song, "Teeth." At the number's end, she rolled on the sodden stage and bellowed into her mic:
"Thank you, New York. I love you. Thank you for changing my life and making my dreams come true."
An estimated 20,000 spangle-eyed fans screeched their approval. They had started lining up more than 33 hours earlier, some coming from as far as Ireland and South Africa to see their idol. Two people in the crowd were taken to Bellevue Hospital with minor cases of heat exhaustion, The New York Times reported.
A special song
The former Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta showed her range and versatility with a performance that began with her crooning the Gershwin standard "Someone to Watch Over Me" as she descended from a fog-shrouded platform onto a blindingly white stage highlighted with electric blue.
In addition to the Gershwins, her performance paid homage to Madonna's costuming, Elton John's eccentric eyewear, John Lennon's songwriting and Jerry Lee Lewis' penchant for playing the piano with his foot.
And as a special treat she had promised her legions of "little monsters," she sang a new song, "You and I," that she's performed in concert in the past several weeks but won't release on an album until the end of the year.
" 'You and I' was written about the most important person that I ever met," Gaga told TODAY's Meredith Vieira and Ann Curry. She didn't say who that person was, but it has been reported in People magazine and elsewhere that it's Luc Carl, the boyfriend she has recently reconciled with.
Love for the fans
Just a few years ago, before she hit it big, the flamboyant performer was living in a cheap apartment in New York, experimenting with drugs and writing songs. Now she is a bona fide pop icon. Vieira asked if she had absorbed it all yet.
"No, I haven't, but I love and cherish my friends so much. I just want to say a big 'thank you' to all the television and radio people and the underground clubs and the gay community for supporting me the past three years, and all the records you guys bought. I love you and I just cherish you forever," she said.
Lady Gaga sat at a pure-white grand piano as she spoke, delicately sipping tea from a china cup on a saucer — no clunky water bottles for her. It was all part of the colorful stage persona she's created. But, she said, outside of her performances, she rarely goes out.

Then, in what seemed like seconds, she changed from an all-white outfit to a Madonna-esque black costume. As she launched into her hit "Alejandro," she addressed her fans by her pet name for them.

Dangerous Drinks?
By Health Day
New study links sugar-sweetened beverages to tens of thousands of deaths each year.
No matter where you stand on efforts to ban super-sized sugary drinks a new study released by the American Heart Association is sure to get your attention.
The study concludes that about 180,000 deaths around the world each year are associated with sugar-sweetened sodas, sports drinks and fruit drinks!
Using data from the 2010 Global Burden of Diseases study, researchers linked the intake of sugary drinks to 133-thousand diabetes deaths, 44 thousand cardiovascular-related deaths and 6 thousand cancer deaths.
Sugary beverages contribute to weight gain... which increases the risk of developing diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers.
About 25,000 deaths in the U.S. were associated with sugary drinks.
Latin America and the Caribbean regions had the most diabetes deaths related to the beverages.
What country registered the lowest number of deaths related to sugar-sweetened sodas, sports drinks and fruit drinks? Japan, which also had the lowest per-capita consumption of the products.

A black negligee that belonged to Monica Lewinsky is among nearly three dozen items once owned by the infamous White House intern up for auction this week.
The 32-item collection was submitted by Lewisnky's former lover Andy Bleiler to special prosecutor Kenneth Starr during his investigation of the Clinton-Lewinsky sex scandal during the 1990s, according to Reuters.
Other items include photos, more clothing, a letter from Clinton wishing Bleiler a happy birthday and a letter from Lewinsky to Bleiler that includes the line "am I good at lying through my teeth or what."
The collection is expected to fetch between $25,000 and $50,000.
Bidding ends Thursday, according to auctioneer Nate D. Sanders.

Okay, so this post isn't about architecture or art or really about design in any way; it's about physics. But bear with me, because there's a good chance it will wind up being the coolest thing you've seen all year. In this video, Boas Almog – a professor of the school of physics and astronomy at Tel Aviv University – demonstrates superconductivity. Now may have heard of a "superconductor" before, but if you're like me, you probably don't know what exactly that means. The problem with superconductivity is that it's a quantum effect, which means that it doesn't obey Newtonian laws of physics. That makes it difficult for our minds to comprehend, but it also results in some absolutely astounding physical properties. That's where this video comes in. Skip to 7:14 if you want to cut right to the chase.
Every so often, technology leapfrogs what we thought was possible and lands squarely in the realm of science fiction, and that's clearly what's going on here. Now I don't know the practical limitations of superconductors at this time, so I can't speak to their near-future feasibility as useful technology, but I'm not sure anyone could watch this video and fail to be stunned by the magnitude of that innovation.
That's why I'm bringing it up actually, it's not because I see specific applications to building or design, it's because I see it influencing our lives in countless ways, many of which we can't even imagine. I think that's actually the most profound idea to take from this presentation: right now, all around the world, people are developing new technologies and ideas that will blow you away with their utility and creativity. Even in the worst of situations (especially in the worst of situations, actually) humans are the most innovative and dynamic creatures the world has ever seen, and we will continue to evolve our way of life. So no matter what profession you're engaged in, keep an eye on what's on the horizon, because sooner or later it will change everything.

Hearing scheduled on latest Yankee court case
File Photo Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant as seen from New Hampshire.
A federal court judge has set a hearing date for early June in Entergy Vermont Yankees latest legal challenge against the state of Vermont.
The owner of Vermonts only nuclear plant sued the state last month, charging that state regulators have delayed approval of a backup emergency diesel generator.
Yankee is under orders from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to install a backup power source by September. The generator is supposed to be available if the plant is disabled and loses electricity from the transmission grid.
Yankee says it needs to start construction by June 11 to get the equipment online by September. But the Public Service Board has not granted a permit for the project.
Yankees lawyers point to an April 24 PSB scheduling order as evidence that the board would not issue a timely decision.
The order could have, but did not, give assurance that the board would grant the (certificate of public good) before June 11, 2013, or even that the board would issue a final decision before that date, Yankee said in its lawsuit.
Vermont Law School professor Pat Parenteau said the suit puts state regulators in a difficult situation.
The point is you have a federal law that mandates something to be done and the state seems to be frustrating that, he said. And thats just not the position you want to be in.
Yankee in September asked the board for an expedited review of the generator case. The PSB then opened an investigation into the issue in December. The board, in its April scheduling order, said it is considering whether it can grant approval for the new generator when Entergy VY is not in compliance with existing (PSB) orders covering Yankees continued operation.
The Vermont Supreme Court is also looking at that question. Entergy has asked the high court to rule that it can continue to operate under the terms of its old certificate of public good, instead of a new one now under review by the PSB.
Parenteau said the latest legal challenge over the generator is part of an all-out effort by Entergy to gain court rulings that federal law pre-empts state control over the plant.
And so this is just a pattern now of Entergy filing one suit after another forcing that kind of outcome, he said.
But Parenteau said the practical issue in the generator case is that Entergy is under the gun to install a new power source at Yankee.
Once again, Im concerned about how the state interacts with the federal court in this matter, he said. If they have a real basis to say, No, were not going to let you do this. Then, OK, what is that basis? But they dont seem to have that. Why didnt the state just do something that would avoid this? I dont know.
A spokesman for the PSB said its members would not comment, because the issue is in litigation and involves an open case at the board.
The new lawsuit brings a familiar claim before the federal court. Yankee says once again that federal law trumps state law on issues of nuclear safety.
In 2012, Entergy won a federal pre-emption case in a suit that challenged two Vermont laws that required legislative approval to operate the plant after its state license expired.
In the latest case, the company argues that since the backup generator is needed for safety purposes, Vermont cannot block the project.
The latest court filings include statements from company officials on the need for the generator. The plant has been using a power line from the nearby Vernon dam as an emergency power source. But that alternative will go away in September because of changes to the way the New England electric grid operates in a systemwide blackout. That left a new on-site generator as the only practical option, according to Robert Wanczyk, licensing manager for Entergy Vermont Yankee.
To my knowledge, no other nuclear power plant operating in the United States has ever been prevented by a state from installing a station blackout generator required by the NRC, Wanczyk said.

The House just wants to snackJuly 15,2013And, now, the Tasty Bites theory of government.
You might have heard that the House of Representatives passed a farm bill last week. Or possibly not. I have found that many Americans can go for a very long time without mentioning the farm bill. But we are going to talk about it today, and it will be absolutely fascinating.
For decades, Congress has merged food stamps which help poor people pay for their groceries with agricultural subsidies in one big, messy, bipartisan farm bill that made everybody happy. Well, not euphoric. There was definitely that messy factor. But it did merge the interests/needs of urban and rural lawmakers, Democrats and Republicans.
Lately, the House has begun chopping up big, complicated bills into what Speaker John Boehner once described as bite-sized chunks that members can digest. No more legislative sausage-making. No more bipartisan trading. The House was going to stick to clean, simple ideas, more along the lines of Liver Snaps.
So the farm bill got divided. The two parts were not equally tidy. As Ron Nixon reported in The Times, the rate of error and fraud in the agricultural crop insurance program is significantly higher than in the food stamp program. Also, the agriculture part has a lot of eyebrow-raising provisions, like the $147 million a year in reparations we send to Brazil to make up for the fact that it won a World Trade Organization complaint about the market-distorting effects of our cotton subsidies.
And while food stamps go to poor people, most of the farm aid goes to wealthy corporations.
So House Republicans passed the farm part and left food stamps hanging.
Say what?
Tea Party conservatives have an all-purpose disdain for anything that smacks of redistribution of wealth, and food stamps are a prime target.
The role of citizens, of Christians, of humanity, is to take care of each other. But not for Washington to steal money from those in the country and give to others in the country, Rep. Stephen Fincher, R-Tenn., said during a speech in Memphis.
So the food stamp program was the total opposite of a Tasty Bite to House Republicans. More like that Scottish thing with sheep stomach and oatmeal. But the agriculture part was billed as delicious restraint. They rallied behind the just-farm-stuff bill in a party line 216-208 vote.
This is a victory for farmers and conservatives who desired desperately needed reforms to these programs, said Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., the majority leader.
The House bill actually spent more money on subsidies for farmers than the bipartisan Senate version the Republicans scorned. It also dropped the Senates limit on aid to farmers with incomes of more than $750,000 a year. And while it mimicked the Senate in dropping most of the much-derided direct payments to farmers, the House gave cotton farmers a two-year extension.
Lets take a special look at cotton, which is a particularly good example of the tendency of agricultural benefits to flow uphill.
Some of these guys and theyre all guys are getting more than $1 million in support. The bottom 80 percent are getting $5,000 on average, said Scott Faber of the Environmental Working Group.
Fabers organization, which keeps careful track of these things, says direct payments to cotton farmers since 1995 have totaled $3.8 billion. That does not count the annual $147 million the United States has been sending to Brazil in hush money.
Crop insurance gets bigger under the new plan. Heres how: You, the taxpayer, fork over the majority of the cost of the farmers policy premiums. (Up to 80 percent in the case of cotton.) Also, you spend about $1.3 billion a year to compensate the insurance agents for the fact that they have to sell coverage to any eligible farmer, whatever his prospects for success. Plus, if yields actually do drop, you have to compensate the insurance companies for part of the cost of claims.
Is this beginning to sound a little like Obamacare? No! No way! The House Republicans hatehatehate Obamacare! They vote to repeal it as often as they change their socks! Because Obamacare will, you know, distort the natural operation of the markets.
The larding of benefits to farmers didnt come up during the House debate. It was all about food stamps, and Democrats asking to know why their colleagues wanted to cut aid to hungry children and old people. During an Agriculture Committee meeting on the bill, Rep. Juan Vargas, D-Calif., quoted Jesus lesson that whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.
That raised Finchers hackles.
Man, I really got bent out of shape, he told that Memphis audience, proudly reporting that he countered with Thessalonians: The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.
By now, you must be wondering why I keep bringing up this guy. Fincher is a farmer who has, over the years, received $3.5 million in federal agricultural subsidies, much of it for yes! cotton.

December 19, 2012 —
Patrick Milliken, 20, was arrested on December 16 for making a "terroristic threat" at the Delaware Valley Job Corps (DVJC) in Callicoon, where he is a student. According to a release from the Sullivan County Sheriff's office, officials at the DVJC called police and said that Milliken had threatened to go to his home in Newburgh, obtain a gun, return to the facility and "shoot the place up."
The threat was reportedly made to three separate individuals, and the suspect also threatened to kill himself. Before security at the school could detain him, he took off and could not be located for a while. Then security found him hiding behind a building and turned him over to the sheriff's patrol, which had arrived on the scene a short while earlier.
Deputies arrested Milliken and charged him with three counts of making a terroristic threat, which is a felony. Milliken was arraigned before Town of Delaware Judge John Kramer and sent to the Sullivan County Jail in lieu of $15,000 bail. The suspect's next court appearance is January 3, 2013.
Milliken has been a student since April 2, 2012.

The Beeville boys were impressive in their 7-0 victory over the Orange Grove Bulldogs in the first round of their postseason tournament.
It took a couple of innings for the Beeville bats to get into the swing of things. In the third, the Major All-Stars struck for three runs as Jesse Ramirez, Lauro Garcia Jr., Derek Castillo and Seth Gomez all recorded base hits. Castillo and Gomez pounded out doubles to help the Beeville scoring brigade. Ramirez, Garcia and Castillo all scored for the hometown heroes.
In the next inning, the Beeville boys added another three runs. Andrew Wessels, Domingo Maturey and Garcia all scored, and the big hit was a two-run single off the bat of Castillo.
Anthony Pena started on the mound for Beeville and cruised through the first three innings with six strikeouts and no hits. Joaquin Garcia relieved him in the fourth and did not allow a run. Pablo Salinas finished with two innings of perfect relief, striking out six of the seven Orange Grove batters faced.
In all, the Beeville pitching struck out 12 Bulldogs and gave up just two hits and two walks on the night. The defense played well, producing two double plays to keep the Bulldogs on a short leash.
The final score for Beeville came in the top of the fifth. Eric Valdez Jr. led off the inning and took the first pitch he saw deep into the night and over the center field fence for a solo home run.
The Beeville boys were rained out on Sunday but played the host George West Longhorns on Monday night. Look for that game summary in today's edition.

- Abstract
- Crystallographic texture characteristics and deformation microstructure were studied in a type 316L austenitic stainless steel using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). It was shown that at lower strain level, there was a rotation of the pre-existing twin boundaries from the original orientation relationship, as well as the formation of highly distorted grain boundary regions and deformation bands. The misorientations were found to be small and displayed a non-cummulative character across the band widths. It was stated that the obtained statistically representative data would assist in the development of physically-based models of microstructural evolution during hot forming of similarly alloyed austenitic stainless steels.

text: Hello, I absolutely love breastfeeding my 6 month old daughter, but we have not been without our struggles. Most of our problems stem from over supply. I need some help with blebs and plugged ducts. I have to pump or nurse every 3 hours or I get problems. That means I set an alarm at night to pump if she doesn't nurse in that time. I have eliminated most dairy, I take Lechitin and I use only deodrant (not anti-perispirant). I use only very nice bras- the Bravada silk seamless bra. I still get occassional plugs and frequent blebs. The blebs are very painful and last for several days. When I get the blebs, I use Epsom soaking and hot baths to soften them before she nurses. I even try to pry the bleb out with a sterilized needle, but I don't like doing that. Any advice on how to prevent blebs and plugs? It seems I only get them on days I am home with my daughter and not working and pumping regularly. Thanks.

Alzheimer's Deaths Under-reported?
By Health Day
Alzheimer's deaths are drastically under-counted, experts warn.
An analysis of 2 aging studies published in the journal Neurology tallied fatalities among nearly 2600 seniors 65 and older from the mid-1990s up until 2013. All were initially dementia-free although annual clinical testing revealed that almost 22% ultimately developed Alzheimer's a diagnosis that appeared to triple or even quadruple the rate of death. Upon death, approximately 90% were autopsied and because all were organ donors, the cause of mortality was clearly noted in each case. Number crunching on a national scale revealed that among all Americans 75 and up, Alzheimer's likely accounted for more than 500,000 deaths in 2010 5 to 6 times higher than figures previously reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In fact, while the CDC currently ranks Alzheimer's #6 among the leading causes of death in the U.S- investigators now say the illness more accurately sits atop the list alongside killers #1 and 2: heart disease and cancer.

Hi! I am in need of some help. I have been exclusively pumping for my five month old for the past four months due to latch issues. Last week I went to a wedding in far west Texas. It is extremely dry there. The first night I arrived I noticed that my areola was starting to get chaffed. As the week went on, my areolas started to become more and more red and dry. It never was painful to pump unless I didn't lubricate myself with my Mother love Nipple cream.
On Friday I called my doctor's office because my nipples were looking worse. I wasn't able to get an appointment until tomorrow but they called me in a prescription for Nystation as they thought I may have thrush.
I have been applying the Nystatin for the past two days but it seems to be making the situation worse. I now have cracks in the areolas and I have pain when I pump-which I think is from my nipples being so dried out. My nipples dont hurt when I touch them.
Can this really be thrush or something else? My areolas are like fire engine red. They look terrible but they don't hurt??

I try offering water and snacks first, and if DS2 still insists he wants to nurse we just do it with as little fuss as possible. I do insist he asks nicely, and I do tell him we need to go look for somewhere to sit (now he'll take me by the hand and lead me to a bench while saying "milch milch milch pease"), and he needs to stay latched on (popping on and off will end a nursing session) and keep my breasts covered.
Summer is still a couple months away - and there can be a HUGE difference in the behavior of a 16 mo old vs a 18 or 19 mo old. I'd start working on nursing manners and setting whatever limits you want as goals. Might not see results immediately, but hopefully should "click" for the toddler in the next couple of months.

I don't think "Nursing Rules" which are really LIMITS apply to a 6month old. However the OP baby and the person you quoted have OLDER kids. And past a year a huge part of the dance in terms of continuing is teaching your child that it's a RELATIONSHIP and that relationships are about the needs of TWO people not one.
That said, BITING can erode a breastfeeding relationship at ANY POINT. Because it erodes the trust and can actually cause the mother damage. And when that happens she sometimes can not continue. I have seen mothers of children under one have to move from Breastfeeding to exclusive pumping because they couldn't get past the biting. So if you are having issues with a biter at 6 months it's really in your best interest IME to react to that in a way that lets your child no it's NOT OK. And if you don't think he has language yet, often putting him down, stopping, walking off, or other other things are the BEST WAY for them to learn that. So people telling you that and how to nip it in the bud really have your best interest in terms of protecting your breastfeeding relationship. It's hard to nurse when your nipple has been punctured.

Anyway, when I was talking about nursing manners, i was talking more about demanding to nurse right here, right now (or else!) or yanking up/down my shirt so my belly is exposed for all to see. That's the nursing manners we're still working on. And since we're not quite there yet, although i totally understand not feeling comfortable nursing in public with a toddler -- I usually think that people will find it a whole lot less "offensive" to see my boob than listen to an all out toddler fit, kwim? (And ideally, IMO, I would get over myself and worrying about what others found offensive if i'm providing nutrition/comfort to my child, but i'm not quite there yet.)

First time, SAH mom to my precious daughter born October 2009
Nursing 27 months and counting... I still love nursing so much and am SAD thinking the end can come anytime now...
I couldn't agree more with the PPs wrt biting. Joe got teeth early, and thus, bit me early. I reacted by unlatching him and walking away (partly to recover my cool, bc that HURTS!). Call it discipline or setting limits or whatever, it was NECESSARY. Biting is intolerable! No one should be expected to just put up with it, IMHO. OW!
Now, asking to nurse in public (or in general, asking to nurse when I don't feel like it) is a behavior that can be annoying to mom, but it's not actually painful and it won't draw blood, etc. So my approach to this has been more of a "long term" effort. I gently try to distract or say "we'll do that later, honey, would you like a sip of water?" but if Joe is really desperate (usually because he's hurt himself or he's feeling overstimulated or shy), I will try to work with him. Sometimes I just nurse him discreetly - other times I take him to another room to nurse. But in setting those limits, I make exceptions for times when he is really distraught.
DJ's mom really made me feel clearer about these limits - I do limit Joe's "boredom nursing" but I make exceptions for when he's really sad and clearly needs some comfort. As he gets older, I expect he'll understand limits like no NIP better. Right now, we're at 75% for that one. Joe still nurses in public occasionally, but it is getting less common.
But biting? Joe knows that's a QUICK way to get kicked off the breast. Just yesterday, he latched on too aggressively when I had PMS, and I squawked in pain, and he looked at me like, "Oh no! I'm SO sorry! I didn't mean to!"
You can call me JoMo!

The Eternal Ze'ev Jabotinsky (From My Mentor Ze'ev Jabotinsky, by Menachem Begin)
One hundred years ago, at the port city of Odessa, a son was born in the house of Jabotinsky. Today, as we gather to memorialize and rejoice marking the 100th anniversary of his birth, we must say his life and work had changed the history of the Jewish people.
From his youth and up until his passing,: Ze'ev Jabotinsky: devoted his life to the salvation of our people, to free its land, Eretz Yisrael, to renew its Jewish forces, to educate a generation of warriors, to preach for social justice and its implementation, to create a sense of pride in every Jew for being born as such, and above all — to renew Zionism and fight the continuous battle for the establishment of an independent Jewish state.
Ze'ev Jabotinsky was a man of many talents in various fields, but his efforts and thoughts were concentrated on achieving his goal of educating the new Jewish character: The quiet, proud, devoted, faithful one who loves his people and is willing to make any sacrifice for their salvation, national freedom and honor. In both of these fields he accomplished complete success and his victory was fully comprised of his aspirations. Indeed, he acknowledged the heroic fighters, and he was the one to provide them and the people as well with the flag raised by Herzl, the flag of renewed Jewish nationalism.
There are few who claim that Jabotinsky was a tragic figure, for he dreamed, made sacrifices and suffered greatly, but yet he did not live to see his work come to fruition, for he had collapsed while working to achieve his goal and his life ended while on foreign land. These statements are far from reality. It is true — as many others in history — that Jabotinsky's victory was achieved after his passing. However, he was a winning figure; his goal was accomplished, a generation of fighters had come to life and the State of Israel was renewed from the pit of decay and dust. A Jewish force had come to life – a kind not seen since the times of the Maccabbes.
Few are the men in history that have such powerful, clear triumphs. For us,: Ze'ev Jabotinsky: was a tutor, the carrier of hopes. Our souls were bound. We never, G-d forbid, anticipated his death and I can therefore say, 40 years after his passing, that he continues to live in our hearts. Throughout troubling times of rebellion and revival, we continue to stop and ponder: Under these conditions, what would have Ze'ev Jabotinsky do, how would he conduct himself and what would have been his decision.
But it is not only for us, for the Jewish people in our land and in the Diaspora, that this day marking the 100th anniversary of his birth is a day of high spirits and a renewal of faith. It is a day to pledge that we continue to follow in his footsteps and to work toward accomplishing his social and political beliefs until our final living days. Indeed — Ze'ev Jabotinsky is among us, he is eternal!
Compiled by Ronn Torossian, a former President of Betar, the movement of Ze'ev Jabotinsky.

The hunt for red October
It took a while, but I have finally figured it out. It's not my popularity that draws so many visitors to the front door, but rather the Upper Delaware valley, and the allure of country life, that keeps my phone ringing year 'round with visitors, looking to soak up some local color.
Last week, I had friends in from California, in search of fall foliage. As I toured them around the Catskills, they were mesmerized by the many hues the trees take on at this time of year, but never stopped looking for "just the right shade of red" as we stopped along the way, snapping pictures and sipping cider, admiring the rainbow of maples and oaks in sharp contrast to the many evergreens that serve to highlight the autumnal landscape.
While my pals were scanning the horizon for blood-red leaves, I was on my own quest: in search of the perfect pumpkin. Starting with Pumpkinfest last week in Barryville, NY, I was initially frustrated that there were so few to choose from. Advised that the heavy summer rains and occasional hurricane had caused the crops to suffer greatly this year, I was reminded that that my childhood Finger Lakes locale was (IMHO) never lacking in all things October, so packed a bag, threw the dog in the truck and headed off for wine country.
Fall was always my favorite time of year, and the memories of apple picking, corn husk dolls and pumpkin farms still can elicit a strong sense memory, so I was sure that a trip upstate would not disappoint. Wending my way through Owego and headed for Ithaca, I wondered if it was possible that the "Great Pumpkin" still thrived at the Iron Kettle Farm (www.ironkettle farm.com) in Candor, NY. Fighting the urge, I eschewed my customary internet search, determined to see if I could still find the place, after all these years.
I did not check a map and don't have a GPS, instead deciding to test my failing memory and see if the brain would take me home, via country roads. The colors (including red) were peaking
throughout Broome County and I had to pull off the road a few times to soak it all in (and take snapshots, regardless of the rain) as I steered toward Tioga and Thompkins counties, respectively. My heart fluttered a bit as I flew past the old ice cream parlor—still going strong, giving me hope that Charlie Brown and company would appear out of the mist, just around the bend.
It did not escape my attention that the rest of the state had also suffered at the hands of Mother Nature, while driving through the rolling hills. A lack of roadside stands, usually overloaded with produce (and pumpkins!) was discernible, although possibly not to the city slickers that scoured the farms, camera-phones working overtime, as they searched for the elusive cell tower signal.
Keeping an eye on the mighty Susquehanna, I spied it off in the distance. My precious Iron Kettle had (thoughtfully) mounted signs along the way, advising that the pumpkin farm was still there, waiting for me with open arms. Ok, I'll admit I became a tiny bit verklempt as I pulled off the road, steadying myself for a blast from the past—wondering if time had exaggerated what I recalled as a magical, fantastical romp through a storybook adventure, narrated through the eyes of a pumpkin. As kids, we would marvel at the detail of never-ending dioramas of nursery rhymes, fairy tales and fables that were brought to life every year via the painstaking efforts of the farm hands. Cinderella, Jack and the beanstalk, the three little pigs and of course, the Wizard of Oz still resonated after decades, and I steeled myself to not be let down.
Mobs of children scampering through the now incredibly extensive display enveloped me in the fantasy and again, I wiped away a tear. It was all there, bigger and better than anything I could have hoped for, weaving its spell over a new generation. I ran into some childhood friends who had made the trek with their grandchildren (OMG!) to share their own memories and scour the patch for the elusive pumpkin that awaits us all.
The stories have changed (although Goldilocks, Alice in Wonderland and the Peanuts gang were still there). I found Harry Potter and the Toy Story characters mixed in with (at last!) Dorothy and the Tin Man, who suggested that I go home, whispering in my ear that "if I ever go looking for my heart's desire, I need never look further than my own back yard—for if it isn't there, I never really lost it."
With no shortage of perfect pumpkins right here in Sullivan County, I'm headed out, knowing that I'll find just what I'm looking for—right in my own back yard.

It was 40 years ago that several visionaries came up with an idea that would become Hokule'a.
A new book, "Hawaiki Rising," is being released this weekend celebrating the history of the Polynesian voyaging canoe and the role she has played in reviving the Hawaiian culture.
Hawaiki rising is the story of Hokule'a, the educating of navigator Nainoa Thompson, and the role Hokule'a played in the Hawaiian renaissance.
While author Sam Low has been on several journeys, the story is told through those who dreamed up the canoe and made it a reality, like artist Herb Kane.
The book takes you through Hokule'a's lowest times to its highs, like when thousands in Tahiti welcome the canoe and its crews on its maiden voyage.
Sprinkled through the book -- the growth of navigator Nainoa Thompson.
"He will tell us land is there and all of us think, 'How can?'" said Low. "And every single time, there it is."
Low himself was on board the voyage to Rapa Nui -- one of the most isolated places on the face of the earth.
More than two weeks in, the weather was miserable. Nainoa could not use the stars.
"He hadn't seen the stars for three days and he posted Max up there and said, 'Look off the starboard bow.' Sure enough, five-to-six-hours, there it was," said Low.
Low sees the book as having something for everyone.
"I hope those who perhaps live on the mainland, when they think of voyagers they think of Kon-Tiki. They think of primitive raft. They'll read this book and they'll appreciate the fact that the Polynesians were the world's greatest navigators and explorers," said Low.
And for those who have sailed her?
"For those young navigators and sailors coming board Hokule'a now, I hope they'll look back and see the teachings of the kupuna and how we got here and see the shoulders that they're standing on," said Low.

Hi everyone,
My 7mo. daughter has started solid for a month and she's been sleeping through the night for a few months already. However, starting these few days, she would wake up in the middle of the night at around 3am, won't go back to sleep until I feed her. Does it mean she's not eating enough solid?
Also, what's your 7mo eating and napping schedule like? Here's mine:
9:30am BM
11am solid (1 jar #2 fruit/veggie + 1 Tbsp dry Oatmeal Cereal mixed w/water)
noon BM (this is new)
12:30pm Nap
2pm BM
3:30pm solid (same amount as in morning solid)
4pm Nap
6pm BM
7:30pm solid (same amount as in morning solid)
8:30pm BM
10pm BM
10:30pm Sleep
3am BM (this is new)
I forgot to add that she may be teething. Does it has anything to do with night waking and need nursing to go back to sleep?
Thanks everyone,

1 in 5 tree farms sustain drought damage
Tens of thousands of trees lost
Wisconsin Christmas tree farms lost tens of thousands of trees to drought conditions this year.
New figures from state agriculture officials show more than 1 in 5 tree farms sustained drought damage.
Nearly a million Christmas trees are harvested on Wisconsin's 1,100 farms each year. The drought hit growers in southern Wisconsin especially hard, as well as those in the central sands region, including Waushara, Marquette, Adams and Waupaca counties. In those counties, state inspectors found 40 percent of more trees died.
At Ottman Family Christmas Tree Farm in Pewaukee, all of the 5,000 seedlings planted by Ken Ottman this year have died. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Ottman bought trees from northern Wisconsin wholesalers to sell at his lot.

Surname Saturday – Harris
My paternal GG grandfather was George Honey Harris.
- He was born in 1844 at Guernsey, Channel Islands United Kingdom and died in 1932 at Encounter Bay South Australia.
- His middle name was also spelt 'Honney' in some records.
- His parents were: Pierre George Harris (1805-1877) and Adelina Bienvenu (1813-1877).
- George arrived in South Australia with his parents after 1851
The following notice appears in the The South Australian Advertiser (Adelaide, SA : 1858-1889) Thursday 18 April 1878 for the marrige between George Harris and Rose Ann Hurst
"HARRIS—HURST.—On the 3rd April, at Truro, by Rey. W. H. Newbould, George Honey Harris, Station Manager Overland Corner, to Rose Ann, second daughter of Mr. John Hurst, of Truro".
Overland Corner, is 16 km from Barmera on the Morgan Road and was a convenient watering place and camp site for the overlanders and drovers operating between New South Wales and the colony based on Adelaide in the early years of the 1800s. It was also the stopping place for paddle steamers and coach passengers on the Adelaide to Wentworth route.
On the South Australian Genealogy & Heraldy cemetery index, I have found a record for a death of a George Honey Harris in 1932. The SA BDM index has his date of death as the 27th April 1932 at Encounter Bay SA.
RoseAnn Harris nee Hurst died at Morgan South Australian on the 27th September 1890.
They had the following children that I am aware of:
- Daisy Edith Harris (born 1879-1932) – my Great Grandmother – who married Richard Mitchell
- George Herbert Hurst Harris (born 1881 ANG:265/369 )
- George Harry Webster Harris (born 1885 ang:351/371)
- Charles Howard Churchward Harris (born 1886 – died 1969)
- Violet Harris (born 1890 – Died 1891)

Hi cousin. George Honey Harris was my GreatGrandfather. Charles Howard Churchward Harris was my Grandfather.
I have info on the Harris family tree.
George Honey's father was actually Peter (Pierre) George Harris and not George Peter Harris (who started Harris Scarfe), they both lived in Adelaide at the same time and both were Agents/Merchants, they even lived near each other and knew each other so I guess that's why the early records are confused.
My Grandfather lost track of his father, brothers & sister as he was raised by the Hursts at Truro after his mother Rose Ann died. He never found them even after many years of searching.
I have been in contact with the descendants of his younger brother, William Henry and am pleased to have finally made contact with a descendant of his older sister Edith. Please contact me for further info, Regards R. Harris
Hi Sandra,
I came across this post while searching for an ancestor from Guernsey, Peter Honey Harris. His wife was Anne Tostevin and I know of two sons, Peter G Harris, the elder brother and John Robin Harris, my GG grandfather. John married Susan Mary Kaines of St Peter Port and they sailed to Adelaide in 1839 on the John.
He was a wine merchant but also a soldier in the Royal Guernsey Militia Artillery and the Kent Rifle Volunteers. He sold his Vintners business to his brother-in-law, John Henry Kaines, in 1855 and returned to England. He was appointed as one of the honourable Company of Gentlemen-at-Arms, a bodyguard to Queen Victoria. He died in Blackheath, Kent in 1870. His daughter, Susan Elizabeth, married my G grandfather, George Absolom, a tea merchant, and my grandmother was the seventeenth of their eighteen children.
I have not pushed back any further on Peter Honey Harris and Anne Tostevin. But that's where the Honey name comes from.
If you're interested, let me know.
Best wishes.

My name is Leoni Wilson (Nee Arthur)….George Herbert Hurst Harris was my GreatGrandfather – I have a little information on him that was given to me by my aunt -she still has most of it and the information is far fresher in her mind than mine (given that he was her grandfather). He had four children, one of which was Rose Alvina… Rose had four children, Vincent, Barbara, Maureen and Christopher. I am Barbara's daughter – the youngest of her four children (I'm 43). I'd be interested in any information on the Harris/Hurst lineage and of course will be happy to provide whatever I can in regards to George's legacy. I look foraward to hearing from you.
Warmest regards.
Hi Sandra… the hotmail account linked to my facebook isnt active as it was hacked and i can no longer access it.

I'm still recovering from the Tigers' shocking defeat at the hands of the Cardinals this past week. The upside is that we saw a little consistency from Detroit. Yep, just like in the 2006 World Series, fielding by the pitchers was once again atrocious. And when Verlander gets knocked around the way he did despite the season he's been having, you know it's going to be a rough week. However, it's even worse knowing what the price of that defeat will be.
But, it can always be worse. At least I'm not in Jason Jones' shoes:

Don't worry, Allen, your Tigers will still win the division this year. I mean really, who's going to catch them? The Twins will be lucky to finish over .500 and the front office doesn't like to make any drastic moves at the trade deadline. The White Sox have a lot of issues, and the Cleveland bullpen can't even hold a six-run lead against the Cubs. So while you might lose some silly bet with Jeff, at least the Tigers will be playing October baseball.

The Administration on Aging (AoA), an agency in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is one of the Nation's largest providers of home- and community-based care for older persons and their caregivers. AoA was created in 1965 with the passage of the Older Americans Act (OAA) and is the federal focal point and advocacy agency for older persons and administers most OAA programs at the federal level.
The mission of AoA is to develop a comprehensive, coordinated and cost-effective system of home and community-based services that helps elderly individuals maintain their health and independence in their homes and communities. AoA is a leading partner of the National Aging Network (the Network), which consists of 56 State Units on Aging, 629 Area Agencies on Aging, 244 Tribal and Native organizations, 20,000 service providers, and thousands of volunteers.
OAA programs provide assistance to older persons and their caregivers, as well as critical support services, such as nutrition and transportation, for older persons at risk of being prematurely or unnecessarily institutionalized. AoA also administers programs that protect the rights of vulnerable and at-risk older individuals and educates them and their communities about the dangers of elder abuse and consumer fraud. Other OAA programs offer older persons opportunities to enhance their health and serve their communities through employment and volunteer programs. Visit the
AoA website to learn more about the agency and its programs.

- Critical quantum fluctuations in the degenerate parametric oscillator
- Author(s)
- Drummond, P. D.; Dechoum, K.; Chaturvedi, S.
- Abstract
- The problem of the critical fluctuations at threshold, where the previous perturbation theory, as well as diagrammatic techniques which give divergent results are discussed. It is found that the use of an appropriately rescaled asymptotic perturbation method, using the fundamental cubic stochastic process as the zeroth-order term, gives a well-behaved analytic theory. As such, the results are said to be in complete agreement with numerical simulations in the positive-P representation.

"The realignment of the hours has already been determined," Reyes said. "It will realign. Normanna falls in the four-hour group."
The announcement comes on the heels of a survey issued to Normanna citizens. Out of 125 surveys, 40 were returned, and of the 40, 39 were in favor of the realignment of hours, while one was in favor of the delivery option.
One reason for the reduction has to do with the reduction of first-class mail volume. Since its peak in 2006, the reduction of mail volume has steadily decreased by 25 percent, which was what drove the revenue.
"That was the bread and butter of our service, and that's how we brought in the revenue, with first-class mail volume," Reyes said. "But since 2006, that's declined, and all of the forecasts show that, for the next 10 years, that mail volume, the first-class letter mail volume, is going to continue to decline, every year for the next 10 years."
Over the last several years, the postmaster general has implemented various cost-cutting measures, to make up for the loss of revenue, including consolidating mail processing facilities.
About two weeks ago, Reyes said, it was announced that by January 2015, the sorting facilities in Abilene and Corpus Christi, along with 80 more, will be closing down.
Normanna resident Sam McCoy asked if mail movement would be slowed down, to which Reyes answered that it wouldn't, due to the 25 percent decrease over the years.
"We don't need all the equipment in all the different places that we used to process mail before," Reyes said. "Now before 2006, when we still had record mail volumes, record revenues, we wouldn't be able to consolidate, because it would've been too much to divert."
Now, the mail will be processed in San Antonio, without having to increase the number of employees.
The Postal Service is also awaiting Congress' approval of moving to five-day delivery, along with packages being delivered over the weekend, which they feel is important because people receive their medication in packages.
"If we get permission from Congress to move forward to five-day delivery, that could save the Postal Service in the $3 billion a year range," Reyes said.
Fortunately, with the natural attrition, they have not had to lay off anybody.
"We've found a place for anyone that wanted to continue to work," Reyes said. "We've also allowed employees to take early retirement, which was a win-win. It was a win for us because we reduced the employee head count, and it was a win for our employees that were in a position to consider that retirement and retire a little bit early."
For Normanna, the move to four hours a day is better than no hours a day, which was the original plan. Also, the staffing for the Normanna Post Office is already set up, as opposed to other offices that are not.
The working hours are set to be from 8 a.m. to noon on weekdays and 7:15-8:30 a.m. on Saturday. The announcement on when the times will be implemented should come out in the coming days.
However, Reyes said that the Postal Service will recalculate every year, the next time being in 2016, and there's a chance that Normanna could be moved back up to a six-hour service.
"Each year, we will recalculate," Reyes said. "So, what I would encourage you to do is continue using them and make the necessary adjustments to conduct your postal transactions here, because if you start going to Beeville, start going to Pettus or a different office maybe more convenient, that's not going to help this office when it comes time to recalculate, because it will be recalculated based on the usage."

One of the major pitfalls for recovering addicts is not being able to find things to do in place of the drugs and alcohol. It's a problem one local group is working hard to solve.
Coulee Council on Addictions recently started a new program that gives people the opportunity to take part in weekly outdoor events.
It's the brainchild of two recovering addicts.
The program not only gives people the opportunity to try new things like kayaking, canoeing and stand-up paddle boarding, but also serves as a support network.
"(I get to) try new things, meet different people and then also do fun activities with other people who don't use," said Ryan Lease, a recovering addict.
Everyone who attends the events is recovering from drugs or alcohol.
Lease is recovering from both.
Currently, I have eight years clean," said Lease. "The drugs and the alcohol were sort of the solution -- I just didn't understand how to live appropriately."
A yoga session is this week's activity for the Outdoor Recovery Project.
"It really treats addictions on a holistic level," said Keith Lease.
The group received a $15,000 grant earlier this summer from the Robert and Eleanor Franke Charitable Foundation to help make these weekly outdoor events a reality, and it's giving these people more of a reason to stay clean.
"Boredom is one of the main triggers for people to relapse and go back to using," said Keith Lease. "The fellowship of it -- so getting out and meeting new people and finding different things that we like -- a lot of times when we're using, that's our whole behavior and so we forget what we like to do to actually have fun without those things."
The road these recovering addicts have taken hasn't been easy, but they say it's worth it for a better life.
"I don't want to do that again, and so continuing to be a member in recovery, doing these outdoor recovery things and being surrounded by other people who are in recovery is just sort of what I do now, but that's what I need to do to continue on with the good life that I live today," said Ryan Lease.
The grant will help provide weekly events throughout the entire year. The group is planning snowshoeing and cross-country skiing events for this winter.
For more information on the group and help for recovering addicts head to the Coulee Council on Addiction website and the Outdoor Recovery Project website and Facebook page.

Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill ResearchThursday, September 2nd, 2010 by Helen White
In December we will be heading to the Gulf of Mexico to examine the effects of the recent oil spill on cold-water seep biological communities. This is a collaboration with Erik Cordes from Temple University, Chuck Fisher from Penn State University, and Chris German and Tim Shank from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. A short news article about the research can be found here. Part of the research cruise in December will involve a survey with a drift camera system to examine some of the hardground biological communities in the vicinity of the Deepwater Horizon incident. We also plan to explore 3-4 as yet undiscovered sites with the Human Occupied Vehicle (HOV) Alvin during the research cruise. Check back for more info soon!

Learn how to lose 5 pounds fast
Tips can also help with long-term loss
The holidays are filled with family get togethers, work parties and dinners out with friends. Any of those events can make you feel like you need to lose five pounds fast.
Here are five ideas -- including eating more -- to drop weight and look great in time for a special event.
Eat More Meals
In his book, "The 6-Day Body Makeover, Drop One Whole Dress or Pant Size in Just 6 Days -- And Keep It Off," Michael Thurmond presents a guide that he said has helped some readers drop as much as 10 pounds in just six days. One tip Thurmond provides: Eat five to seven meals a day.
Thurmond preached the method to participants in ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Battle of the Bulge." After the show, LaPaula Fyffe, a nurse and mother of three, told USAToday that she lost 52 pounds on the plan.
"I had six small meals a day," Fyffe told the newspaper. "During the day I got carbohydrates at specific times to support my exercise and muscle building."
Other nutritionists back Thurmond's advice, including registered dietitian Joni Rampolla, who is the director of nutrition for Medifast, a program that promises up to 20-pound weight loss in a month.
"When you skip meals, all research shows that you get ravenous and eat more in a day than if you space meals out. Eating throughout the day keeps blood sugar even," Rampolla said.
Not eating sends the body into conservation mode and slows the metabolism. Some sumo wrestlers skip breakfast to slow their metabolisms and eat one giant late-day meal. Their bodies are in conservation mode from not eating, so when they do, they hold on to all the calories they consume, according to various sources.
Swap Foods To Lose Fast
Eating more meals doesn't mean eating anything you want. Those meals have to be smaller than one of the traditional three squares. That means choosing foods that are less calorie-dense.
Shelly Asplin, a registered dietitian for Hy-Vee grocery stores, said the first swap should be high-calorie sodas and fruit juices for low- or no-calorie drinks. Her first-choice drink is water, but she said diet sodas instead of regular save about 245 calories per 20-ounce bottle. People with a two-Coke-a-day habit would save enough in a week to lose a pound, since there are 3,500 calories in a pound.
Other swaps Asplin recommends:
- A 16-ounce skinny latte instead of one made with whole milk saves 100 calories.
- A small apple instead of a bag of Sun Chips Harvest Cheddar flavor snacks saves almost 400 calories.
- Seven cups of "lite" popcorn instead of buttered saves 195 calories.
Boost Your Fiber
Rampolla, whose company helped soap-opera star Genie Francis slim down before the Daytime Emmys, said those extra meals need to contain more fiber.
"More fruits and vegetables -- they have fiber (and) help fill you up," Rampolla said.
Fiber makes you feel full, so you'll eat less, then works to sweep food out of the body to quicken weight loss.
"Our ancestors got upwards of 35 grams of fiber a day," said Matt Marshall, the author of The Wedding Day Diet. "Most of us get less than 10 grams of fiber. So, by eating fibrous green veggies -- lettuce, cucumber, green peppers, etc. -- you will increase your fiber. The fiber will clean you out, and that could give you a quick weight loss boost."
If you get minimal fiber, boost your intake slowly.
"If you've only been consuming 5 grams of fiber, you don't go to 30 in a day or you'll have (gastro-intestinal) distress," Asplin said.
Reduce Your Carbohydrate Intake
Marshall and Rampolla said a short-term reduction in carbohydrates can aid quick weight loss because the body will drop water weight.
Because carbs and glucose are the body's preferred energy sources, limiting food with those substances forces the system to turn to a metabolic process that sheds water, according to TheDietChannel.com.
"If you want to drop 5 pounds in a hurry, the quickest way to do it is to simply reduce the carbs you are eating," Marshall said. "Raw fruits and vegetables are allowed, but cut out the cakes, breads and other carbs, and most people will lose between 5 and 10 pounds within the first week."
Get Moving
The good news for people who really need to drop a few pounds is that all of these techniques work better the further out of shape you are, the dietitians said. That goes especially for adding exercise. It is easier for someone getting no exercise to add 30 minutes and burn mega calories in comparison to their sedentary lives. People who are already active may find it more difficult to fit in additional exercise, but it is an important element to dropping pounds fast.
"It's going to increase the metabolism," Asplin said. "The more you get muscles moving -- they keep burning calories. If you are already active, bump it up an additional 30 minutes. Household chores count!"
"Weight loss depends on your starting weight," Rampolla said. "A heavier person will lose weight quicker."
Deploying all these tactics at once should take 5 pounds off in a couple of weeks, the experts said, depending on your current level of health.
The experts said following these tips can not only deliver quick weight loss, but incorporating them into daily life will continue to deliver results. If you return to your normal patterns, the weight will come back just as fast as it came off.
