A Town of Sterling plow driver suffered minor injuries after his truck went into a ditch on Monday evening, according to the Vernon County Sheriff's Office.
Michael Skildum, 56, of rural Viroqua, was operating a snow plow for the Town of Sterling on Oliver Road, north of Bad Axe Road when the plow tripped forward, which is common while snow plowing, authorities said. Skildum was not able to retract or lift the plow on the ice-covered road and the truck veered left and came to a rest in the ditch on the opposite side of the road.
The Vernon County Sheriff's Office says Skildum suffered minor injuries and went to a local hospital on his own where he was treated and released.

Orange wrangles way to school budget
ORANGE Nearly two months after leaving town meeting empty-handed, members of the School Board got it handed to them Tuesday night when voters whacked $50,000 from their $2.7 million budget request.
It could have been worse. On a night that began with a prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance and a primer on parliamentary procedure from Moderator Adrian Otterman, voters narrowly defeated proposed cuts that started at $73,000 and escalated before finally settling on $50,000.
At one point, a proposal to cut $228,875 was made as tempers were growing short.
That amendment was defeated by a reasonably close voice vote nearly three hours into the meeting. By that time, there had already been a dizzying series of eight paper ballots, two of which would have sent the board home without a budget yet again. Instead of ending the meeting, voters agreed to keep talking.
At about 9:30 p.m., voters considered yet another cut to the budget, this one a $50,000 reduction in the $2,728,875 spending plan proposed by the School Board. It was the 11th paper ballot of the evening and finally passed, 78-26.MORE IN This Just InAutopsy reveals

When can you (or when did you personally) switch from watching the clock for feedings to feeding on demand.
I was nursing a LOT (18 times a day) but as soon as my son's weight gain looked good I was anxious to ease off. He is almost 4 weeks old.
2 days ago I popped in for another weight check and it looked like a 13 ounce gain in 6 days time so I am really wanting to back off -- in fact the past couple of nights I have let baby sleep for a 6-7 hour stretch. And during the day I let him sleep a little longer so I can squeeze in a shower or meal for myself, do household chores, etc.
Should I keep counting the hours and make sure we nurse 12 times a day? Until when?

Remembering the First Opening Day I Attended!
I was remembering the first Opening Day I attended. It was 1981 and I had become a season ticket holder for the first time. Before that I would go to quite a few weekend games.
The final games of 1980 where the Dodgers tied with Houston to force an extra game that they lost left me desolated but with hunger for more baseball. That November of 1980 I made the decision to be a season ticket holder so I showed up at Dodger Stadium where a young guy showed this then shy young woman a seat in the Loge level. Aisle 103 row N seat 3 became my seat. I would get to my seat early, watch the game enthusiastically and go home right after the game ended.
Because I was going by myself I thought myself how to keep score by following the program examples, something that I still do to this day. Another thing that I did back then and continue to do is carry a radio.
Opening Day Thursday April 9, 1981, Jerry Reuss was supposed to be the starter but he had a strained calf muscle. Burt Hooton was sidelined with an ingrown toe nail. Bobby Welch was out with bone spurs in his elbow and Dave Goltz had a pulled groin. Tommy Lasorda turned to Fernando who at age 20 was simply sensational in his Opening Day start!
Fernando tossed a complete game, five-hit shutout as Los Angeles beat the Houston Astros, 2-0, before a crowd of 50,510 plus this fan who was there for this electrifying Opening Day and the start of Fernandomania.
Here is a photo of my ticket from Opening Day 1981 Thursday april 9. Game time 1.05 PM. I placed the ticket with a giveway picture that Union 76 used to give out. I would only go to Union 76 gas stations so that I could get the pictures.
Here is Pepe Yniguez, me & Fernando at Camelback Ranch Sunday 3/29/09. Pepe is a great person! Thank you Pepe! Thank you Fernando! Pepe along with HOF Jaime Jarrin and Fernando are the Spanish broadcasters for the Dodgers. They do a great job! Thank you guys!
P.S. Alyson: My prayers are with you today during your surgery. I hope to see you soon back at Dodger Stadium!

That's awesome! What a great memory and the fact you kept some momentos is really cool too. I can remember watching Fernando on television growing up and I hear he is still a God in Mexico and does broadcasting. Great story : )
Julia, thanks! I updated the thread with the second picture that I was having a hard time to display with 500 pixels.
thank you for reminding to say that he is doing broadcasting for the Dodgers! Duh. I had that before but I kept deleting the picture as it was not doing the thumbnail. Server must be running very slow too.
We all love Fernando! He gave us such great thrills! He won his first 8 straight decisions in 1981! , he won rookie of the year and Cy Young in 1981!
Interesting that you still bring a radio to the games, Emma. I can certainly understand wanting to hear Vin call the action.
I feel like I am missing something if I don't bring a radio, besides I can listen to pregame and postgame interviews. Vin's voice is actually my ringtone.
Awesome blog entry!!!
What a great game to have attended. Thanks for your memories.
Go Dodgers!!!
Dig, Thanks! Mark Langill reminded me of those memories with his latest thread in the ITD blog.

It must be very difficult for him to leave after being involved with everything Fev for so long.
I am sure everyone wishes him our very best for his future and appreciate every joule of energy he has given us over his fantastic career.
I will treasure his Grand final winning shirt that he signed for me last month.
I wonder how long it will be before he returns as our head coach after his training at Wakefield.
Posted 23 October 2012 - 07:15 AM
You have been an inspiration to the whole club & have been a superb figurehead for the Rovers.
I believe you should be very proud not only of the massive contribution to Featherstone but also the way that you have gone about conducting yourself & the example you have set for others.
All the very best for the future & I hope you come back to us in the future!

A true gentleman off the field and a work horse in the field of play. His best years at the club came with the present coach.
In the modern game not many players devote such a long time at any one club.
Must be a future addition to the Hall of Fame at some stage.
Thanks for all you have done for the game and Featherstone Rovers. Good luck at Trinity, you will be able to take that winning feeling to them.

I have seen almost all of Stuart's games at home and many away. He always gave 100%. And the longer a game went on, the more he became a thorn for the opposition. He just kept coming. Very many thanks from the Bullock and Graham Gang.

As you say, probably be called after a sponsor. But as we are buying bricks at the moment for the new stand how about extending your idea to a square of bricks in the centre of the wall commemorating Stu's career? That would be a fitting tribute.
Does the new stand have a name yet? The Stuart Dickens Stand has a nice ring to it. Though I guess sponsorship might be the overriding factor.
Posted 03 November 2012 - 07:06 AM
Within those teams Stu has played his part in the only way he knows giving 100%.
It's easy to let slip the times when we were somewhat average and Stu led from the front, on occasions keeping us in games on his own.
Being a great leader at Wigan for example, is no where as difficult as being a great leader in an average team.
For the best part of 15 years that is what we have had the pleasure to see unfold in front of us.
The various coaches only needed to pick 12 players as No 10 picked itself by the stature of the player inside it.
Tremendous player who IMO is a true legend for absolute effort and consistency over such a sustained period of time.
Many great memories,starting when he was only 18 in the 1st team and one of the best was him planting a smacker (no tongues though) on the Cas prop in last seasons cup game.
Thank you Stu.

Sept. 15, 2013 -- The small mountain town of Jamestown, Colo., has been cut off because of the Boulder County flood. FEMA Urban Search & Rescue teams have been deployed to the state to help residents. Photo courtesy of Steve Zumwalt/FEMA.
By Stephen J. Miller, Region 8 Regional Emergency Management Specialist
On Sept. 11, while the nation remembered those lost during the 9/11 attacks, the state of Colorado was in the midst of a disaster. It all started innocently enough. The badly needed rain began to hit the ground early in the morning. The air stream was running moisture up from the Gulf of Mexico. The weather radar showed a track of what appeared to be a continuous flow of heavy rain, which would soak the state, from Colorado Springs north, along the foothills up to Fort Collins and beyond. The rain continued not for hours, but days. Six days to be exact.
The last historic flood in Colorado was in 1976, the Big Thompson River Flood. On July 31, 1976, a violent rainstorm sent a rampaging wall of water through Big Thompson Canyon, returning it to its primordial state. The massive millennial flood killed 144 residents and visitors at one of Colorado's most popular destinations. Never to happen again they said in 1976. They were wrong.
This past week's rain water quickly topped the man-made reservoirs, filled the rivers to record levels well beyond flood stage, millions of cubic feet of water cascaded into surrounding communities, miles of roads into these communities were ripped apart, countless bridges were swept away, hundreds of homes and businesses were flooded or totally destroyed, entire communities were evacuated, and there were days of uncertainty regarding the well-being of residents stranded in isolated communities. The stress on everyday life was multiplied for both direct and indirect victims seeing their state, homes and lives shattered by events beyond their control.
Unlike other disasters where the tornado lasts a matter of minutes, the onslaught of this immediate disaster situation has been an ongoing event for over a week. While the rain finally stopped on day six, the flooding is still occurring as the water passes through the river paths, the over the top water is still high and limiting access to communities, and rescue operations and death counts are still being conducted. It is only now, on day seven, that the true magnitude of the damage is becoming more and more apparent to citizens and government officials. The personal and economic loss to these communities is staggering. Predictions are that it will take years to recover and revitalize the infrastructure destroyed and the spirit of the residents. The cost to rebuild can only be a guess.
So the preparedness lessons to learn are many. Hundred year floods have no calendar. 1976 to 2013 is only 37 years. Individuals need to respond to evacuation calls. Community planning and zoning must recognize the potential danger in Mother Nature as we permit building in flood plains. Family emergency plans do serve a purpose in events that leave little time to respond to an immediate crisis. Training and preparing for emergencies is not time wasted. And the list goes on…
May the Colorado experience be a warning to all and further encourage you to join the National Preparedness Month effort.

This week's reviews: Wes Anderson film, French remake lead the pack
The Columbus Dispatch - March 21, 2014 10:09 AM
Wes Anderson has a new movie, and you know what that means. Bill Murray, Owen Wilson and Jason Schwartzman will be involved in a tale involving peculiar storylines and idiosyncratic characters.
The latest effort, set in the imaginary country of Zubrowka, tells the story of a hotel concierge (Ralph Fiennes) at a European hotel, his relationship with a young hotel employee (Tony Revolori) and their quest to locate a Renaissance painting alongside a fight for a large family fortune.
While the Anderson hallmarks are in place for The Grand Budapest Hotel, it seems like the plot and character development were not completely thought through, according to critic Peter Tonguette. There simply isn't enough time in the movie to explain the whole story.
"The bewildering plot, with improbability upon improbability in a completely concocted milieu, is a cinematic sugar high: It is entertaining to watch as it unfolds, but its pleasures are transient," Tonguette said in his review.
He rated the movie two-and-one-half stars.
Blood Ties is a stylized remake of a French crime thriller. Starring Clive Owen, Billy Crudup, Marion Cotillard and Mila Kunis, the film brings to life the intriguing story of an ex-convict and tormented police officers on the other side. The action explodes in some of the car chases set in the Big Apple borough of Brooklyn.
Tonguette held director's performance in high regard with his review.
"Director Guillaume Canet injects life into the familiar elements in an Americanized version of a 2008 French film," Tonguette said. "Yes, we are reminded of Dirty Harry or Prince of the City — but mainly because Blood Ties deserves to be mentioned in their company."
"This is a large-scale vision of violence, vice and avarice — one that we won't soon forget."
He rated Blood Ties three-and-one-half stars.

Climate change will have economic consequences. The damage it causes plus the measures people
take to adapt to a new climate regime will impose quantifiable market costs as well as
non-quantifiable, non-market costs. The fact that some important types of damages cannot be easily
monetized makes current damage estimates highly uncertain.
Damages will be unevenly distributed and sometimes irreversible. Although developed countries
are responsible for the bulk of historical greenhouse gas emissions, their strong economies and
institutions leave them better positioned than developing countries to cope with changes in climate.
Quantifying the economic costs of climate change involves many uncertainties and caveats;
nevertheless, some analysts estimate that damages resulting from a moderate climate change
(+2.5°C warming) could cut the US's current GDP by 0.5%, the EU's by 2.8%,
Africa's by 3.9%, and India's by 4.9%. Again, it must be emphasized that these estimates
include only readily monetized damages and thus understate the likely costs.
Policies for minimizing risks by reducing greenhouse gas emissions will also come with a
price-tag. Estimates of how much such policies will cost vary widely because of differing
assumptions and large uncertainties. For countries with economies in transition, the enormous
opportunities for improving energy efficiency could ensure negligible costs or even net GDP gains of
several percentage points. The highly industrialized countries of the OECD could rely on the Kyoto
Protocol's emissions trading system to limit costs to a 0.1 – 1.1% reduction in projected
GDP for the year 2010; or, expressed another way, the rate of annual economic growth over the next 10
years could be 0.1% lower than it would be otherwise. If reduced air pollution costs, the removal of
market imperfections, and other factors are included, the costs are reduced even further.
Many cost-effective policies and technologies for cutting emissions are already available
… Some of the more recent technological breakthroughs include the market introduction of
efficient hybrid engine cars and wind turbines, the demonstration of underground carbon dioxide
storage, and advances in fuel cell technology. Hundreds of existing technologies and practices for
end-use energy efficiency in buildings, transport and manufacturing industry could also be more fully
exploited to reduce emissions – often with a net financial benefit.
… but governments will need to promote these solutions actively. In many cases
governments will have to address a range of institutional, behavioral and other barriers before
climate-friendly policies and technologies can gain widespread acceptance. These can include market
prices that do not incorporate externalities such as pollution, misplaced incentives, vested
interests, lack of effective regulatory agencies, imperfect information, and so on.
Energy policies hold the key to the cost and effectiveness of efforts to cut emissions. The
choice of energy mix and associated investments will determine whether atmospheric concentrations of
greenhouse gases can be stabilized, and at what level and cost. Currently most such investment is
directed towards discovering and developing more fossil resources, including both conventional and
unconventional. But the progress over the last few years on developing technologies that reduce
greenhouse gas emissions has been faster than anticipated.
"No regrets" measures for tackling emissions can have multiple benefits. Many
researchers believe it will be possible to reduce emissions while generating economic benefits, such
as more cost-effective energy systems and greater technological innovation. Some climate change
policies can also bring local and regional environmental benefits, such as reductions in air
pollution and increased protection for forests and thus biodiversity. The scientific, technical, and
socio-economic literature shows that such "no regrets" opportunities are available in most
countries. It also suggests that the risk of net damage, a concern for risk aversion, and the
precautionary principle together provide a rationale for actions that go beyond "no
regrets" – that is, for actions that do indeed have net costs.
Policymakers should not overlook the importance of equity. Choosing policies that are both
cost-efficient and fair is not easy. Traditional economics rigorously explores how to formulate
flexible and cost-effective policies; it has less to say about equity. Because countries differ
considerably in their vulnerability to climate change, the costs of damage and adaptation will vary
widely unless special efforts are made to redistribute them. Policymakers can pursue equitable
solutions by promoting capacity building in poorer countries and reaching collective decisions in a
credible and transparent manner. They could also develop financial and institutional mechanisms for
sharing risks among countries.
To be effective, policies will require support from the public and from key interest groups.
Governments cannot act alone to cut emissions - individuals, communities, and businesses must also
cooperate. Education and public information is vital. For example, increased energy consciousness
would encourage people to adopt any number of minor changes in their lifestyles, such as riding
public transport, using more efficient lighting and appliances, and re-using materials to reduce the
need for exploiting natural resources. Local authorities could introduce standards that encourage
building designs that take maximum advantage of sunlight and solar heating. Many other changes in the
high-consumption lifestyles of the rich countries are also possible.
The prudent response to climate change is to adopt a portfolio of actions aimed at mitigation,
adaptation, and research. The economic literature suggests that the optimal policy mix will
necessarily differ among countries and over time. The challenge is not for all countries to agree on
what is the single best policy and to maintain it for the next 100 years. Rather, each country should
select a prudent strategy and adjust it over time in light of new information and changing
circumstances. By constructing a balanced portfolio of policy options aimed at reducing emissions,
adapting to climate change, and improving the knowledge base, national policymakers can reduce the
risks of rapid climate change while promoting sustainable development.

Illinois high school students who take the SAT college-entrance
examination continue to far outperform their peers throughout
the nation, State Superintendent of Education Robert E. Schiller
reported today.
Advanced Placement examination results for 2001-2002 also
showed Illinois students outpacing the nation, Schiller said.
Mathematics scores for Illinois' 2002 public and nonpublic
high school graduates who took the SAT I averaged 80 points
above the national average in 2002 and verbal scores were
74 points higher. In addition, student gains over the last
five years and the last ten years were higher for Illinois
students than any other state. The greatest improvements for
the 2002 graduating class were recorded by Asians, blacks
and American Indians.
The average SAT I verbal score for all public and nonpublic
graduates tested was 578, up 2 points from 2001 and 16 from
the 1997 average of 562; for mathematics the score increased
7 points to 596 from 589 in 2001 and 18 points from 578 in
About 68 % of students who took the SAT I were from public
schools. Their verbal scores averaged 578, the same as the
Illinois group overall. In mathematics, public school students
averaged 605, exceeding overall state average by 9 points.
"While SAT and AP exams are taken by only a small percentage
of Illinois students, the results clearly show that this group
of students is meeting high achievement targets," Schiller
said. "These students, their parents and their schools
are setting the pace for our state and nation."
About 11 percent of Illinois' high school students take the
SAT, compared to the ACT that is now given to almost all public
high school students as a part of the Prairie State Achievement
Examination. Each of the SAT I tests is scored on an 800-point
AP results lead nation
On Advanced Placement tests, scores of 4 or 5, the two
highest scores, were achieved by 44 % of Illinois students
compared to 36 % for students throughout the country. The
most popular AP examination subjects for Illinois students
in 2001-2002 were United States History; English Literature
and Composition; and Calculus.
The State Board provides incentives for schools to increase
participation on AP exams. In 2001, the State Board provided
fee support for over 2000 students and in 2002 for over 3500
students. Data released today show strong increases in AP
test participation for the last several years.
Almost 37,000 Illinois students took AP exams in the 2001-2002
school year, compared to under 33,000 in the previous year.
There were 484 Illinois schools with students taking AP examinations
in 2001-2002.
The College Board also administers the Advanced Placement
tests taken by high school students, often for dual credit
with higher education institutions.

Hauenstein Center discussion focuses on finding common ground
Posted on September 10, 2013
Grand Valley State University's Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies hosted a lively discussion September 9, about the possibility of finding common ground in a divisive political environment.
Before a standing-room-only crowd, Hauenstein Center director Gleaves Whitney cited historical examples and included references to the Founding Fathers as part of the discussion.
Whitney also discussed situations when compromise and finding common ground was not an option, including when President Lincoln refused to compromise with the South during the Civil War era.
"In the American system at its best, there are times when compromise isn't the best option," Whitney said. "But conditional compromise is a powerful tool when our leaders seek it out. Compromise is part of our DNA as Americans. It's part of who we are."
Whitney said some of the best examples of compromise among American politicians included the Homestead Act, a compromise involving the interstate highway system, and several others. Whitney said there were at least another dozen and a half examples that didn't involve war or crisis.
Whitney gave several examples of compromise and stressed the importance of consensus building between the two major political parties, and then shifted to fielding examples of common ground from the audience.
Several audience members provided examples of common ground among leaders they could recall, including examples from former state lawmakers, and more simple examples of finding common ground within families and regions.
The American Conversations Series continues throughout 2013 and 2014; all of the events will focus on the "common ground" theme. Upcoming American Conversations events can be found online at HauensteinCenter.org.

I am a 1st time mother to a premature baby who is now 1 month old, her original term date was tomorrow (xmas day). Within the 1st couple of days she was with me in the hospital with me and I was nursing normally until they put her in neonatal room where I had to pump to give her my breast milk. Then I left the hospital and between the back and forth I got out of rhythm and have been struggling with low milk supply since. I never was able to pump more than 30ml(1oz) and now i am at 5-10 ml per pumping. the midwife instructed me to put her at my breast as much as possible which I do each time she eats but she is un-motivated, she fusses and sucks her hands while I try and breast feed, between pumping, supplementing and breastfeeding I am exhausted and I am tempted to take the easy way and formula all the way. I have been drinking minimum of 2 litres of fennel tea and eating as i did pretty much throughout the pregnancy. I find it hard to be diligent about anything since I feel I have very little time to get anything done. The most discouraging is that when she is feeding on the breast I can tell I am producing better, the other nipple leeks the breast get firmer, but many times and more recently she barely stays at the breast, which has been so far the bets for my production. I have tried everything except homeopathy and medication. the medela symphony I have seems to work less effectively than hand pressing. Is there something wrong? It seems like so many things are working against giving this baby breast milk. Now she is showing signs of constipation prob from the formula. I am lost...
Any advice.
warm holidays wishes.

Tzatziki is one of the classic sauces in Greek cuisine, with as many versions as there are cooks who make it. I can get away with calling this the World's Best Tzatziki Sauce because it was made by my friend Georgette, who's not only 100% Greek, but also one of the best cooks I know. In the archives I also have Georgette's Really Lemony Greek Pilafi and Georgette's Greek Zucchini.
(The World's Best Tzatziki Sauce was first posted in 2007; it was updated with step-by-step photos August 2009.)
Tzatziki Sauce (Greek Yogurt and Cucumber Sauce)
3 cups Greek Yogurt (or regular plain yogurt, strained as described above)
juice of one lemon (about 3 T)
1 garlic clove, chopped
2 medium cucumbers, seeded and diced
about 1 T kosher salt for salting cucumbers
1 T finely chopped fresh dill (can substitute mint leaves for a slightly different version)
Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
If you don't have Greek yogurt, strain plain yogurt as described above. Peel cucumbers, then cut in half lengthwise and take a small spoon and scrape out seeds. Discard seeds. (If you use the small seedless or European cucumbers with few seeds, you can skip this step.) Slice cucumbers, then put in a colander, sprinkle on 1 T salt, and let stand for 30 minutes to draw out water. Drain well and wipe dry with paper towel.
In food processor with steel blade, add cucumbers, garlic, lemon juice, dill, and a few grinds of black pepper. Process until well blended, then stir this mixture into the yogurt. Taste before adding any extra salt, then salt if needed. Place in refrigerator for at least two hours before serving so flavors can blend. (This resting time is very important.)
This will keep for a few days or more in the refrigerator, but you will need to drain off any water and stir each time you use it.

Beeville Police Department Chief Joe Treviño said the incident started at 9:46 p.m. Sunday when Patrolman Josh Meakins tried to stop a red Chevrolet Tahoe on South Washington Street.
Treviño said the officer noticed that the vehicle had some defective equipment on it.
But the driver stepped on the gas instead of stopping and started speeding through the southeast part of town.
As other officers joined in the chase, the fleeing motorist led Meakins on a wild chase on South Jefferson Street, along East Dolan Street and onto South Tyler Street to Reagan Road.
Then the driver took off on FM 351 toward the Bee County Exposition Center and signaled like he was going to turn into the Blueberry Hills Subdivision before heading toward FM 673.
From there the fleeing suspect led officers on a trip near downtown Beeville before slowing down at FM 351 and North Madison Street.
By that time, deputies from the Bee County Sheriff's Office had joined in the pursuit.
But the fleeing motorist was able to make it back to the west end of the city where he turned onto Lehman Road.
At that point, the driver collided with BPD Sgt. Ryan Treviño's vehicle. From there, he fled west on Lehman Road with units in hot pursuit. Then the suspect's Tahoe spun out and collided with a patrol car driven by BPD Patrolman Cecil Daniels.
From there, the suspect managed to get away again until he drove into an empty lot near the Camacho Recycling facility on West Corpus Christi Street.
At that point the driver bailed from his vehicle and led police on a foot chase.
Officers later released BPD and Texas Department of Criminal Justice tracking dogs.
Officers were unable to locate the suspect until about 10:35 p.m. when he was spotted in a vehicle leaving the area where he had last been seen.
Treviño said police stopped the vehicle and arrested Eduvige Perez. He was charged with aggravated assault of a public servant, evading arrest with a motor vehicle, evading arrest on foot and driving while intoxicated.
The chief said evading arrest with a motor vehicle is a state jail felony and, if convicted of that offense, Perez could be sentenced to up to two years in a state jail facility and fined $10,000.
The evading on foot and the DWI charges are Class A misdemeanors. If convicted, Perez could face a year in the Bee County Jail and fined $4,000.
But the aggravated assault on a public servant is the charge Perez should most fear. Treviño said that is a second degree felony, punishable by 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
However, if the Bee County Grand Jury decides that the vehicle the defendant was driving was a deadly weapon, that charge could be elevated to a first degree felony.
A conviction on that charge could result in a 99-year to life prison term and a $10,000 fine.
Perez was being held on bonds totaling $77,000.

About Campus Transportations Services (Buses & Shuttles)
The following campus transportation services, which are free of charge to students, are supported by the transportation fee paid by each student. Many commuter students will park once in the morning and then use University transportation throughout the day.
- The UB Stampede - Ride the Stampede buses to get between campuses.
- Shuttles on North Campus - Move you where you need to go on the North Campus via the North Campus Shuttle or Green Line Shuttle.
- South/Downtown Campus Shuttles - The Blue Line connects the Downtown and South Campuses without the hassle of connecting from shuttle to shuttle.
- Fun Run - Get on board for dining, shopping and entertainment destinations on Maple Road, Transit Road and Walden Avenue.
- Mall/Market Shuttle - Need to shop? Take the Mall/Market Shuttles to Walmart, Tops, Wegmans, Target and the Boulevard Mall. New for fall 2016: express service to Wegmans and Dash's Markets.
- Disability Parking and Transportation Services - Information to assist with special on-campus travel needs
- View current schedules/timetables for all transportation services or continue reading below for more information.
UB Stampede Buses
The University provides connecting bus service between the North and South Campuses on UB Stampede buses which run approximately every 5 to 10 minutes Monday through Friday during the academic year; every 30 to 60 minutes on weekends and during the summer.
Stampede Bus Stop Locations
- North Campus: Service Center Road, Flint Loop, Governors, Lee Loop, Ellicott Complex
- South Campus: Goodyear Hall, Main Circle
- In-Between Campuses: Maynard Road and Grover Cleveland Highway (northbound and southbound)
- View PDF maps of bus/shuttle stops (See map legend for shuttle/bus icons.)
UB Stampede: Campus Identification Required to Ride
The University requires passengers to swipe their UB Card in to a card reader as they enter UB Stampede buses. This policy is designed to ensure campus transportation services are accessible and available for members of our campus community, while also providing a safe and secure environment. The below listed guidelines serve to outline how the access system will be enforced.
All passengers must swipe their card through the card reader at the front of the bus upon entry. The screen will change to Green if the card belongs to a current UB student, faculty, or staff member; and will change to Red if the card does not belong to a current member of the campus community. Those who display Green will proceed to the seat of their choice. Drivers will engage those who swipe a card that elicits a Red light, inquiring about their status and the nature of their visit to campus.
Drivers may use the following exception buttons to allow the person aboard:
- Missing/Lost card (card not presented, person genuinely appears to not be able to locate it on their person)
- Damaged card (card presented but mag-stripe obviously compromised)
The following lists occasions where drivers will be instructed to use discretion, or not require swiping:
- UB affiliate identification is presented
- Event special requests scheduled through Parking and Transportation
- Visitor, accompanied by a member of the campus community (only 2 guests allowed per student/faculty/staff member)
- Passenger presents a ticket or ticket stub for an event that day/evening
- Large campus events, as identified by Parking and Transportation Services
- At the direction of Parking and Transportation Services personnel.
Questions or concerns regarding this new initiative may be directed to Parking and Transportation Services at 645-7329.
North Campus Shuttle Services
- Express Service - On the North Campus, most classes are held in the centrally located academic Spine area. To travel between the Ellicott Complex and the Spine, students can either walk or take an express shuttle. During the Fall and Spring semesters, buses depart the Ellicott Tunnel for Lee Loop every 5-7 minutes.
- North Campus Shuttle: North Campus shuttle services are accessible to all students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Vehicles and persons utilizing guest, range, vendor, clinic, and special event parking permits are viewed as visitors to the campus and can park in areas where the permit is valid and make use of the shuttle services to facilitate reaching their destination. The University at Buffalo's North Campus Shuttle connects the entire North Campus stopping at 18 different key locations. The service also provides a valuable park and ride option from the Alumni and Stadium parking lots. The Stadium parking lot contains 225 parking spaces and spaces are most often available. You can expect a Shuttle every 10 minutes during the semester between 8 am to 7 pm. After 7 pm the shuttle will arrive between every 10 to 20 minutes.
- Green Line Shuttle: The Green Line operates Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 7:00pm with departures every 10 minutes. This service provides a valuable park and ride option from the Center for Tomorrow lot to Flint Loop in the heart of the campus. There are always spaces available in the Center for Tomorrow (CFT) parking lot. The CFT lot contains parking spaces for almost 400 vehicles. We strongly encourage use of this parking lot and the connecting Green Line shuttle service.
South/Downtown Campus Shuttles
- Blue Line Shuttle: The "UB BLUE LINE" is a route that connects the Downtown and South Campuses weekdays, without the hassle of connecting from shuttle to shuttle. This route is designed to more effectively connect the campuses by increasing headways, and eliminating unproductive stops. Two shuttles will operate daily on the UB BLUE LINE, with the first shuttle departing the Main Bailey lot at 6:30 am each weekday, and the final shuttle dropping off at Main Circle at 8:35 pm. Between 7:30am-10:30am and 3:30-6:30pm you can expect a shuttle every 30 minutes.

The cutbacks are the result of the United States Post Office's attempt to close a $20 billion budget deficit by 2015 by discontinuing 3,700 rural post offices nationwide.
Customers of each of the affected post offices were mailed a survey last year to determine who used the facilities and when.
The suggested closings were met with strong public opposition.
The USPS, using the survey data, now has formulated what it calls its "Post Plan"— offering postal customers four options:
•Keeping the individual post office open, but with curtailed hours of operation.
•Conducting a discontinuance study for the office and to offer roadside mailbox delivery.
•Conducting a discontinuance study for the office and finding a suitable alternative location for a post office operated by a contractor.
•Conducting a discontinuance study for the office and providing post office boxes serviced by a nearby post office.
On Thursday, a USPS representative met with patrons in Pawnee, Skidmore, Tuleta and Tynan to release both the survey results and the USPS decision.
None of the affected post offices will be closed. At press time Thursday, the USPS had decided:
•Tuleta — will be open 8 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday, 7:15 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. Saturday, a cutback of four hours.
•Skidmore — will be open 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m., a cutback of six hours.
•Tynan — will be open from 8 a.m. to noon and Saturday 8 a.m. to 9:30, a cutback of four hours.'
New hours of operation for the Pawnee post office will be posted online at www.mySouTex.com when available.
The number of postal patrons returning the survey was disappointing.
Of 189 customers in Tuleta, only 55 responded (29 percent); in Skidmore, of 759 customers, 183 responded (24 percent); in Tynan, of 120 customers, 39 responded (33 percent.)
Delivering the decision at a 10-minute noon meeting in Skidmore, Mary Martinez, the manager of postal operations for the Rio Grande District, thanked those who showed up and said, "Remember, I had nothing to do with this decision; I'm just the messenger."

he is no way like Diaw...
he has no back to basket moves...
he isn't that strong yet...
he is a shooter....
he will be slower than duhon....
his potential is great but right now he is a spot up shooter that can rebound alil from the 3 spot
He isn't FAST with the basketball at all, or quick or deceiving with changing speeds.
This is a big concern because there is no flow with quick and agile athletes like Lee, Chandler, Robinson and Marbury.
I can't wait till Gallinari comes back. Gallinari is the point forward we NEED in this offense, especially in the half court.
-Look at how effective Boris Diaw was in Phoneix's offense. He actually ran the offense from center similar to Sabonis, Divas and Piculin Ortiz...same famous passing centers.
Gallinari is Boris Diaw with range and ability to score and get a lot of steals. He's an average rebounder like Diaw with great court awareness and has excellent cohesion with whoever he plays. Gallinari also has that killer instinct to take over and knows when his scoring is needed. Very unselfish player at the same time.
I guess you could compare Gallinari to Hedo Turk, 6"10 SF that can rebound at an average rate while average 4 assist and 20 PPG off of penetration and long range jump shots. Thats perfect for this offense.
Duhon looks limited in setting up the offense, Marbury is more efficient with his penetration alone.
Penetration is HUGE, look at what Steve Nash penetration did for Phoneix, Nash always kept his dribble and created.
Duhon doesn't have the handles and isn't skilled to keep his dribble and try to create, he's just a spot up shooter on offense, who isn't even that good of a shooter. His passing and creating is really average for a PG of today's time.
Doo Doo would be good off the bench as a defensive stopper...but we already had that with Mardy Collins.
I honestly still see Duhon as a waste of a signing because he will not be apart of the future...
Anyway, anyone in favor of Marbury starting at PG over Duhon...put my sig in your sig...begin a movement.
But for now...
Which isn't bad because, I see all guys on that line up average 15 + points in this offense.
he is no way like Diaw...
he has no back to basket moves...
he isn't that strong yet...
he is a shooter....
he will be slower than duhon....
his potential is great but right now he is a spot up shooter that can rebound alil from the 3 spot
Diaw is a PointF, Gallinari is a PointF.
They play Euro style BBall.
They are similar.
Diaw isn't even that strong.
Gallinari has post moves...re-watch his games in Euroleague.
Gallinari is a spot up shooter? You must be a new kind of fool.
Gallinari got most of his points in Euro from driving to the basket, same with Summerleague(Gallinari isn't afraid of contact and is very crafty, skilled, and experienced driving to the basket).
You got Gallinari 100% wrong, you failed.
Here's to hoping Duhon gets better. Because D'antoni is going to live and die with his prized pet.
what's really killing us is lack of production from Crawful. He just has to play better. I mean he really looks like a straight up bum. I'm more worried about why he looks lost than Duhon. Duhon just may not be cut out for it. But Crawful she surely be a lot better than he has shown.
Preseason though.
duhon is doing just fine, the offense is doing real good, averagin 110 points a game so far, duhon is not the most talented but he's definately gettin the job done, 1 thing i like about duhon is that he helps on da boards
Co-sign @ Metrocard
He doesn't break down the defensive much, and looks hesitant to so he jus passes the ball...to Marbury.
When you see Chris Duhon and Starbury on the court, Starbury will create opportunities and penatrate to get to the basket and either make it or get to the line.
Even Mardy Hardy Collins did a better job then Duhon at penatrating. Mardy Collins tries HARD to get to the basket or make something happen.
Duhon does alright "sometimes" but we need more then that and I agree I CAN'T see him as our future point guard with other point guards out there that could dominate him. I agree he is a waste of a contract because Marbury, Collins, or even Nate could have taken the PG role.
Firstly, a point forward is when teams play slower offenses like pippen did in the Triangle....
Diaw was no point forward-- I have watch all of the Euro Highlights , he may like contact with Skinny Europeans but it is different over here ...
Ask Marco Bellini who looks like a wizard in the summer league til the big boys shut him down --
"You got Gallinari 100% wrong, you failed."
you have him pegged as a slasher that is gonna be dunking and dishing...
no shot....he will be shooting and rebounding ...especially with our guard play he will end up in the corner dropping 3 balls and one dripple 16 footers....
potential he can do more....but not year 1 or year 2 ....
he might not even start at the University of North Carolina if he went there
<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
I agree on the Duhon facts MetroMan
Just to show I am not fighting for the sake of fighting !!!! lol
I want to see more Mardy Collins in games but Duhon does have a role...
(besides making Steph look even better now, lol)
cheers to real knicks fans like me and metro card
i actually think Duhon should be the point gaurd of this team he plays hard effecient basketball and can knockdown shots when he takes them...duhon's career average of assists-turnovers are 4.5 to 1.3 and marbury is 7 or 3.5about the same considering that Marbury has had the ball in his hands more and Duhon didnt start but Duhon is a pass first point thats something we need in this offense someone who looks for others and has us playing as a unit Marbury is a score first pass second pg he'll be better as a 2 so Duhon gets him in position to knockdown the open shot....so i want our line-up to be:
Gallo(when healthy)
i know undersized starting lineup but we'll be better off with this lineup they play better 2gether from what i saw in the preseason and gives us scoring off the bench in Nate and Crawford
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
I completely agree with your analysis of Danilo, Metro. I'm really looking forward to his return. SPeaking of which, he's finally been cleared to play: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Marbury is obviously the better player, and I think is more suited to run the offense. But it seems like he performs very well off the bench too. And if we keep starting Duhon, then maybe his confidence will grow and he will play better. I think the best thing to do is to start Duhon, but give Marbury more minutes.
i know no one will agree with me on this and you will all rip my opinion to shreds but that doesnt bother me....
duhon may be slower and not as electrifying as nate or marbury but guess what hes a point guard....
he is what the knicks need....
so far this preseason he has been getting around 10 points a game while getting around 4 or 5 rebs and 6 or 7 assists
nate is quick gets points and steals and marbury is yes some think he is amazing... i personally think he is part of the old knicks and with players like lee and chandler and gallo you need a guy that wont demand the spot like marbury and has no problem with a pass first offense....
i think you all misunderstand duhon... he isnt going to be a super star but can be solid in many different categories and give everyone there touches
personally i like the lineup
chandler...q rich
lee... gallo
duhon is not a star pg but will give chandler his shots will keep crawford from trying to do too much and will provide a stable personality that possibly could keep things from falling apart...
marbury is talented i will never argue that possibly the biggest talent on our team but he doesnt mesh anymore and could quite possibly hold back our younger players
I also agree with metros analysis of danilo and his entire post
Big **** = Turkoglu with more swag
I think he'll be even better then Turkoglu
Duhon really aint that fast, i also picked up on that. Hes got good hands (no homo) on defense, but so does mardy collins. Marbury has better hands (no homo) then both of them. We really didnt need to sign duhorn.
I will say this though, every guard on this team is better then crawford.
Nate R, Duhorn, Starbury, and even Mardy Collins....
Crawmurked lost
I will change my sig for the start of the season, but for now i gotta keep this one. I gotta pay homage to one of the all time greats, who at age 43 officially made kelly pavlik his son. Pavlik is 17 years younger then hopkins...
D'antoni's whole theme was based on him not prejudging the players. Well he basically already did that when he decided Duhon had to be brought in here because of preconcieved notion, that no one on the roster would be able to distribute. Steph has played better in less time. Let's just be honest.
But that being said, Duhon can run the system. He just needs imo to make things happen a bit more on his own. And in time, that may become easy for him. Or not. Hope so though. We need it.
Chris Duhon on the other hand ...who is this? Lol he's done some mild slashing but is not gonna be near the caliber of Starbury.
Also if you noticed Crawfords play, he has been passing the ball a lot more then he has too.
He's trying TOO hard sometimes to be like a team player and now he is thrown off on what to do most of the time. He will get a wide open look and just pass because he doesn't trust his shot or he doesn't think he's doing the right thing by shooting which I wouldn't blame him because his chuck shot is not something you can rely on anyhow.
D Antoni' wants Jamal to be more aggresive, not taking wide open shots or even attemping to drive and create is not helping. At least be some sort of an offensive threat and try to overshadow your lack of defense damnit.
He's being exposed like I said, I'm not saying he's totally useless but he had imaginary numbers last year due to longevity on the court and ownership of the basketball.
I can admit that he made some decent passes but he still needs to adjust himself or be left on the bench, whichever he happens is fine as long as he's not starting.
D Antoni' has not been liking his game and should make us fans happy and let him just come off the bench.

Hanukkah decoded
December 22, 2011 —
With so much information available on the Internet these days, I thought it might be interesting to explore the meaning of various terms and traditions associated with Hanukkah, which started on December 20 this year. Having been raised with a Jewish education, I was surprised to discover some unknown facts and a few rare insights, as well as historical tidbits, songs and poems that enliven homes as families gather all around the world to celebrate the Jewish Festival of Lights.
What is Hanukkah?
Hanukkah or Chanukah (Hebrew for "dedication") is the annual festival of the Jewish people. It begins on the 25th day of Kislev, the third month of the Jewish calendar, corresponding, approximately, to December in the Gregorian calendar, and lasts for eight successive days. Hanukkah is also known as the Festival of Lights, Feast of Dedication and Feast of the Maccabees. (www.wikipedia.com).
Is that a candelabra?
Sort of... it's called a Menorah and there are two varieties. Inside a temple, one can find a seven-branched lampstand like the ones used in the ancient Tabernacle in the desert and Temple in Jerusalem, a symbol of Judaism since ancient times and the emblem of the modern state of Israel. During Hanukkah, the menorah is a nine-branched candelabrum, which serves to remind us of how a few hours worth of lamp oil miraculously burned for eight days and nights, thereby saving the temple from being destroyed. This biblical story is retold during the season, as parents pass the story on to a new generation. At the website www.myjewishlearning.com I found an unusual recipe for "Marshmallow Menorahs" which unfolds thusly:
The idea is to let children make a menorah using frosting and marshmallows. Give each child a piece of tagboard 11 inches by four inches, 10 marshmallows, and nine candles. Have the children spread some white frosting on the bottom of each marshmallow and then put them onto the tagboard. With the frosting, "glue" a second marshmallow on top of the middle marshmallow to create the shammash or "servant." Poke birthday candles into each marshmallow to create a menorah. Sweet!
Food, glorious food!

Security | News
To gain traction in the enterprise cyber security market, an endpoint security company has begun granting free licenses for its software to education organizations. In the first seven weeks of the offer, "Free for Education," Avast reported that it has granted over a million licenses for use on student and faculty computers.
Under the arrangement, any public school in the United States may use Avast's Endpoint Protection Suite at no cost. The license includes two central management control options to let IT administrators remotely manage antivirus programs on mobile devices, laptops, desktops, and servers. The free set of security tools doesn't include email, firewall, or anti-spam protection; those components are part of the company's "Plus" offering.
"It's a win-win situation," said CEO Vincent Steckler, "because the school gets something valuable for free and we increase our user base, which helps us to increase our brand visibility and word-of-mouth advertising for our products."
The software is currently being used by individuals or made available on recommended free anti-virus solution lists at Central Michigan University, the State University of New York at Potsdam, and the University of Florida.

The non-profit Speak Up Organization has teamed up with Penni Productions to host the "SPEAK-UP Amerika Samoa, Your VOTE is your VOICE Concert" tonight —Friday October 5, 2012— at the Veterans Memorial Stadium.
"Your Vote is Your Voice," said Tapumanaia Galu Satele, President of the Speak Up Organization who noted the purpose of this concert is to encourage the youth to vote, and to exercise that right.
"If you register to vote and you show up with you voter's card you go in free," he noted. If you are under 12 years of age you go in free while for everyone else there's a fee of $10 at the gate.
Tapumanaia, who is also one of two representatives for the Tualauta District, said upon his visit to the Election Office he found out that there are a total of 8,000 voters in the Tualauta District while only 3,000 voted in the last election. Island wide there's about 19,000 to 20,000 eligible to vote, while only 13,000 voted.
"What happened to the rest?" asked Tapuamanaia.
According to information he received from the Election office, the age span of those who are not voting is between the ages of 19-25—which are mainly the youth. Yet, some of the biggest election issues often directly affect the youth.
Tapumanaia added that voting is a tremendous gift. "Believe it or not, young people just like you in other countries actually fight for this right, a right that so many youth in democratic nations take for granted. You should vote because ….you can vote," said Tapumanaia.
Tapumanaia made it clear that this concert is not about telling you "who to vote for—rather just a movement for you to come vote."
The Speak Up concert will feature some of Samoa's very popular Polynesian Artists: Richard Parker, Joe Fialu, Ben Vai, Robyn Akari, To'afa Te'o, Robbie Jr Failua and Tongan Artist Melenau Lino.
All have agreed that the cause for this concert is something they will definitely perform for and advocate to all the youth…the importance of voting.
Songwriter and singer Richard Parker, a well-known Samoan artist who has 'hits' that have been and still are some of the hottest Samoan music that has reached our shores will be performing tonight at this concert.
Parker, who resides in Melbourne, Australia said when he was approached to perform to promote the youth vote, he was excited because he'll be performing for an important cause, and something that should also be promoted in Apia.
"Growing up in Apia the youth are told who to vote for either by their chiefs and village councils, sometimes by the parents; but in American Samoans, I'm told, it is literally left up to the individual who to vote for—and yet the youth are not taking advantage of this."
One of Richard's hit songs is "Epi ua na'o oe suga" which was written for his wife Epi.
For Richard's fans, he just released his latest MTV DVD/CD that will be available for sale at the concert.
Tony Alesana from Melbourne Australia, who raps with Richard said he's honored to be part of this concert. "Music is universal and it brings the people together and the idea of having a concert to send a message to the youth is very creative, and I'm happy to be a part of it."
Melenau Lino who's Tongan from Auckland New Zealand is very excited to be performing in the territory and most importantly be part of the cause promoting youth to come out and vote.
It's her first time in American Samoa and she's looking forward to meeting the people. . "I challenge everyone, especially my Tongan people to come out and support this cause," said Melenau.
"This concert has a meaning, it's not another performance or a gig, but there's a huge meaning to this concert …voting is important.
Blue Darling, Apifo'ou, and Kolisi are some of Melenau's songs.
If you're a fan of the "Tauga Apu Trilogy" the writer and singers for this trilogy are also a part of this concert — Joe Failua, Robyn Akari and Robbie Jr Failua.
Joe, who spoke on behalf of their team, said the youth should think about the future and if you don't vote and you are effectively just leaving off your ability to have any influence as to how these issues play out in your community—and are you sure that is what you want? He said that a government by the people, for the people just can't work without the people.
Toa'fa Te'o based in New Zealand but originally from Vailele Samoa, one of the main actresses in the Samoan movie that's filmed in New Zealand "Suasusu Male Meli" (Milk and Honey) is also a part of this concert. Toa'fa who sings in New Zealand said this is the first time she's heard of any concert promoting the youth to vote, and it's very important and she's happy to be a part of this initiative.
Samoan artist Ben Vai who's based in Vaiala, Samoa is also among the singers who said he's privileged to be part of a great cause.
Ben attended school here back in the 70s when his father was a church minister at CCCAS in Pago Pago.
While it's easy to say, "one vote doesn't make a difference" however, the reality is that every vote counts, he said.
"Also you have to remember that as an individual your vote may seem to be little more than a whisper, but when your vote is combined with the votes of others who share your views, it becomes a voice and the more like minded voters there are, the louder that voice grows.
"If you don't vote you really have no right to complain about government decisions you don't like," he reminded.
"So get out there and make the youth vote be heard."

On Tuesday, Live Oak County enjoyed a classic battle of the Nueces with both teams putting all they had on the line. As always both teams left everything on the field and represented their schools and county with pride. After both teams taking the lead and fighting off the opposition, it came down to the bottom of the 7th with the pressure coming to Three Rivers to make an offensive move. Going into thetop of the 7th inning the Lady Bulldogs were up 13-9 but gave up 4 runs to the Lady Horn lineup. With the score tied 13-13 the Lady Bulldogs lead off with a double from Garcia. With the winning run on third after a passed ball, Escamilla drew a walk to join Garcia, followed by a fly out, and Straube drawing a walk. Briana Ruiz brought in Garcia on a nice ground ball through the infield to win the game. Once again we had a classic Live Oak County match-up with the fans and players full of excitement and the county proud of their kids. Hinojosa went all 7 innings in the circle while Lopez joined Garcia with a double.
The bus then headed for Kenedy's tournament on Thursday where they came out with a second place finish, and Haley Hinojosa as a tournament MVP. On Thursday, the Lady Bulldogs faced Stockdale, Nixon-Smiley, and Pettus bringing home a 3-0 record for the day. On the return trip Saturday the team gave up a good game to Karnes City. The Lady Badgers took an early lead and ended the game with the Lady Bulldogs battling but coming up a few runs short. Hits on the day came from McKenzie Ruiz with 2 doubles and Sara Saenz adding a double. Vanessa Stewart, Trina Guzman, Kaitlin Roberts, and Haley Hinojosa also added hits to the Lady Bulldog effort. Also working for the team on defense side of the game were Anissa Alvarez, Ashley Zamzow, Johni Escamilla and Alexis Saenz.
The Lady Bulldogs opened district play Tuesday with Woodsboro on the road. The game was locked up at 0-0 through 3 innings of play when Woodsboro made a move in the bottom of the 4th to ring up 3 runs. The Lady Bulldogs answered with 2 runs in the top of the sth with Carle Straube and Briana Ruiz reaching the plate. The defense took the field behind Haley Hinojosa with Alexis Saenz working behind the plate to hold the Lady Eagles in the bottom of the sth with defensive play coming from Haleigh Garcia, Callie Mallon, Johni Escamilla, Mckenzie Ruiz, Savannah Lopez, B. Ruiz, and Straube. A nice double by Lopez followed by Saenz found them reaching the plate moved by hits from M. Ruiz and Straube. With the Lady Bulldogs adding 2 more runs in the top of 6th to tie up the score, the Eagles added two runs to move the score to 4-6. Continuing to battle with 2 outs Lopez came up with a single to get on base. Sara Saenz stepped in on the bags for her as Alexis Saenz came to the plate. With Alexis Saenz putting the ball through the infield Sara scored with Alexis standing on 2"d. The Ladies fought to the end but when the third out was called the score was 5-6 Woodsboro. It was a good opening game against a defending play-off team. The team is ready for the rest of district play and the chance to put their names in the play-off books.

Tried this for the first time in my tea, works very well, one packet is quite sweet in one cup of tea! I carry some with me in my purse. Can still taste the stevia slightly.
too much uncertainty about genetic modification
Posted by nzreviewer on Oct 30, 2012
Despite their claims that it's not, there seem to be a lot of claims floating about that this product contains GMO - enough uncertainly about it's GMO status for me to stay away.
sorry, didnt like it
Posted by liatsh on Aug 22, 2014
I was very hopeful to like that product, but was disappointed. It doesn't sweeten my coffee and has an unpleasant aftertaste. Would not re-order.

Wage Protection Program
The Wage Protection Program represents low-wage workers throughout California in civil litigation for violations of federal and state wage and hour laws. Wage theft can make it impossible for low-wage workers – who often live paycheck to paycheck – to sustain themselves and their families.
The Wage Protection Program engages in a variety of litigation tactics to help workers recover stolen wages and protect their workplace rights. Attorneys represent workers in individual and class action cases at state and federal levels, and engage in appellate advocacy. The Wage Protection Program co-counsels with private firms and non-profit organizations to advance the rights of low-wage workers.
Many workers in low-wage industries are not paid the minimum wage or do not receive overtime pay for long work shifts. Other common violations of workers' rights include failure to provide adequate meal and rest periods, unlawful deductions from paychecks, failure to reimburse for business expenses, misclassification of employees as independent contractors, and failure to keep accurate payroll and timekeeping records.

All About Biscuits
How to Make Biscuits
Making biscuits is similar to making scones. Treat them gently; over-handling can toughen the dough. The amount of liquid you need varies slightly depending on the moisture content of the flour, which in turn depends on environment and weather. Add the liquid a little at a time, gently stirring all the while with a fork. When the mixture no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl and forms a soft dough, you have added enough liquid.
Turn the dough onto a floured work surface and knead gently about ten times, or just enough to smooth the dough slightly and remove any stickiness.
Cut the dough with a sharp knife or biscuit cutter dipped in flour. The traditional drinking glass method can squash the sides and prevent proper rising.

"Threat Inflation and the Failure of the Marketplace of Ideas: The Selling of the Iraq War"
Journal Article, International Security, volume 29, issue 1, pages 5-48
Summer 2004
Author: Chaim Kaufmann
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security; Quarterly Journal: International Security
Are mature democracies better at making foreign policy than other kinds of regimes? Do their robust civic institutions and a flourishing marketplace of ideas reduce the likelihood of inflated threat assessments and "myths of empire" that can lead to risky foreign policies and, in some cases, war? To answer these questions, Chaim Kaufmann of Lehigh University examines the 2002–03 U.S. debate over going to war against Iraq. Kaufmann concludes that the democratic marketplace of ideas failed to challenge President George W. Bush's case for toppling Saddam Hussein—despite the existence at the time of information that exposed the speciousness of many of the claims of the president's foreign policy team. Kaufmann traces this failure to the Bush administration's successful efforts to withhold or manipulate information that would have substantially weakened their argument for invading Iraq. He considers the implications of this strategy for U.S. foreign policy given the administration's preventive war doctrine.
