Princeton's Kavanagh Keeps Hofstra at Bay in Win
from press release
An unlikely source kept Princeton in the game in the first half of its men's lacrosse opener against Hofstra Saturday afternoon. The likely sources pulled it out for the Tigers in the second half.
Brian Kavanagh made 10 saves in the first half and Princeton's offense exploded in the second half, and added together the result was a tough 12-10 win over Hofstra in front of 1,231 at Sherrerd Field at Class of 1952 Stadium.
Kavanagh, a senior, made the most of his first start, making seven of his 10 saves in the second quarter before giving way to Matt O'Connor at halftime and keeping Princeton within two of the Pride at the break at 6-4 when it could have been worse. Then, after the visitors got the first two of the second half, Princeton went on its decisive 8-1 run, led by Tom Schreiber, Mike MacDonald, Ryan Ambler and Kip Orban.
Princeton and Hofstra were even at 9-9 midway through the fourth quarter when Ambler fed Schreiber, who ripped a shot into the top corner to give the Tigers the lead for good. The ball went from Ambler's stick to Schreiber, who was about 15 yards from the goal, to the back of the net in the blink of an eye. For Schreiber, it was his third goal of the day and went along with two assists, giving him at least three points in a game for the 17th straight time.
The face-off following Schreiber's goal to make it 10-9 was kicked ahead to the Princeton box, where Ambler got a tough ground ball and then found MacDonald, making it 11-9 13 seconds after the Schreiber goal. MacDonald and Ambler joined Schreiber with five-point days, as MacDonald had four goals and an assist and Ambler had a career-best five assists.
Princeton trailed 8-4 on John Reicherter's goal with 7:34 left in the third quarter. During the next 17 minutes, Princeton used its 8-1 run to go up 12-9. During that 8-1 run, Schreiber, Orban, Ambler and MacDonald combined for six goals and six assists.
Princeton took eight shots in the first half and 21 in the second half. Princeton was still outshot 41-29.
Brian Kavanagh made the most of his first career start. The senior made 10 saves while allowing six goals, and he made some one-on-one and point-blank saves in the second quarter to keep the Tigers in the game. How close did Hofstra come to taking control of the game? Second quarter shots favored the Pride 18-3, but goals were just 4-2. Kavanagh played the first 30 minutes of the game after playing a total of 29:40 for his first three seasons combined.
Princeton started two freshmen on defense - Bear Goldstein and Will Reynolds - making this the first time since 1996 that Princeton had two freshmen defenders start Game 1 of a season. Back then, it was John Harrington and Kurt Lunkenheimer. Will Rotatori made his first career start on attack and had a pair of goals during the 8-1 run.
Princeton is at Manhattan Tuesday night at 7 before returning home next Saturday at noon to take on Johns Hopkins.

Toyota's Game-of-Life ads highlight the much-anticipated Prius c - a smaller, less expensive version of the Prius. "Be a winner with the all-new Prius c." Ford is promoting its new gas-saving Focus - the S-F-E version. "To save fuel, it makes itself more aerodynamic." Meanwhile, Honda is advertising its new Civic fuel-saver - the H-F. And Chevy is touting its Cruze Eco. How well can these four vehicles stretch your fuel dollars? Let's start with the Prius c. "In city driving the Prius c delivers an amazing 37 mpg, which is the highest of any car Consumer Reports has tested." But the Prius c is slow to accelerate. The ride is stiff and the cabin is noisy, too. As for the other cars, manufacturers made current models more fuel-efficient with modifications like low-rolling-resistance tires and aerodynamic add-ons. These vehicles are all promising 40 miles per gallon or better on the highway. Consumer Reports used this device to measure highway mileage. Tests show all three cars do get 40 miles per gallon or better as promised. Rik Paul, "We found an improvement of one to three mpg overall with these cars. But you pay 500 to 800 dollars extra for those fuel-saving options." Instead, consider the Mazda3 i Skyactiv, which rated higher in Consumer Reports' tests. ."

text: I have exclusively breastfed for four months. At 3 1/2 months my ds started sleeping through the night (12 hours). I started pumping for 1 feed at night while he was asleep to keep my production up. I would then feed him the ebm via bottle in the morning. As time went on he started to get get frustrated at the breast and the viscious cycle began ...my milk supply started to dwindle and my ds started getting more and more frustrated at the breast. At 4 1/2 months I started supplementing with formula. He is now 5 1/2 months and has been refusing to nurse (except for morning feeds). I have been pumping to keep up supply ...approx. 1-2 oz. every 4 hours and now taking fenugreek, have also purchased sns...sometimes ds will latch with sns, but usually when i get him into bf position he automatically starts to cry. Is it possible to make him latch if he doesn't want to?, and if so how? What are my chances of getting him to breastfeeed again? The thought of letting my milk supply decrease and fade away makes me very sad. I really don't want to give up breastfeeding..

Table Tennis History
Table tennis originated in England as an after dinner amusement for upper class Victorians in the 1880's. A number of sources indicate that the game was first brought to the attention of Hamley's of Regent Street under the name "Cossima". Mimicking the game of tennis in an indoor environment, everyday objects were originally enlisted to act as the equipment. A line of books would be the net, a rounded top of a Champagne cork or knot of string as the ball, and a cigar box lid as the paddle.
The widespread popularity of the game eventually caused sports manufacturers to sell the equipment commercially. Early paddles were often pieces of parchment stretched upon a frame and the sound generated in play gave the game its first nicknames of "whiff whaff" and "ping pong". The name ping pong was in wide use for the sport before English manufacturer J. Jaques & Son Ltd officially trademarked it in 1901. Ping pong then was only to be used for the rather expensive Jaques equipment, while being called table tennis in terms of other manufacturer's equipment. A similar situation came to exist in the United States when Jaques sold the rights to the ping pong name to Parker Brothers.
The next major ping pong innovation was created by James Gibb, an English enthusiast of the game, who discovered novelty celluloid balls on a trip to the U.S. in 1901 and found them to be the ideal more ideal ball for the game. This finding was followed by E.C. Goode who then invented the modern version of the racket by fixing a sheet of pimpled, or stippled, rubber to the wooden blade in 1903. In the 1950's, rackets that used a rubber sheet combined with a underlying sponge layer changed the game dramatically, introducing greater spin and speed. The use of speed glue increased the spin and speed even further, resulting in changes to the equipment to "slow the game down".
Table tennis was growing in popularity by 1901 when table tennis tournaments were being organized, books on table tennis were being written, and an unofficial world championship was held in 1902. In 1921, the Table Tennis Association was founded in England and the International Table Tennis Federation followed in 1926. London hosted the game's first official world championship in 1927 and table tennis was later introduced as an Olympic sport at the Olympics in 1988.
Toward the end of 2000, the ITTF instituted several rules changes aimed at making table tennis more viable as a televised spectator sport. By that time, players began increasing the thickness of the fast sponge layer on their bats, which made the game excessively fast, and difficult to watch on television. First, the older 38mm balls were officially replaced by 40mm ball to increase the ball's air resistance and effectively slow down the game. Secondly, the ITTF changed from a 21 to an 11 point scoring system, which was intended to make games more fast-paced and exciting. The ITTF also changed the rules on service to prevent a player from hiding the ball during service, in order to increase the average length of rallies and to reduce the server's advantage.
Since the inception of ping pong, variants of the sport have emerged. "Large ball" table tennis uses a 44mm ball, which slows down the game significantly, is often played by ping pong athletes who have a hard time with the extreme spins and speeds of the 40mm game. There is also a move towards reviving the table tennis game that existed prior to the introduction of sponge rubber. Classic table tennis or "Hardbat" table tennis players reject the speed and spin of reversed sponge rubber, preferring the 1940-60s style of no-sponge, short pimpled rubber of play which makes defense less difficult by decreasing the speed and eliminating any meaningful magnus effect of spin. Because hardbat killer shots are almost impossible to hit against a skilled player, hardbat matches focus on the strategic side of table tennis, requiring skillful maneuvering of the opponent before an attack can be successful.

The deceptive rebranding of aspects of science-based medicine as "alternative" by naturopaths continues apace
That naturopathy is a veritable cornucopia of quackery mixed with the odd sensible, science-based suggestion here and there is not in doubt, at least not to supporters of science-based medicine (SBM). However, what naturopaths are very good at doing is representing their pseudoscience as somehow being scientific and thus on par with conventional SBM. So how do they accomplish this? Certainly, it's not through the validation of any of the cornucopia of pseudoscience and quackery that naturopaths apply to their patients as though picking "one from column A and one from column B" from a proverbial Chinese menu of woo. Naturopaths' favored modalities include homeopathy (which remains to this day an integral part of naturopathy that all naturopaths are taught), acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), "detoxification" practices (a key precept of a lot of naturopathy) such as juicing, enemas, and chelation therapy, and the various other quack modalities that make up the practice of naturopathy. Treatments like these (especially homeopathy, whose precepts would require a massive rewriting of the laws of physics and chemistry for it to work) have not been and almost certainly cannot ever be scientifically validated with an evidence base of the quality and quantity supporting SBM.
So, instead naturopaths play a very clever game. In all fairness, naturopaths are not the only practitioners of so-called "complementary and alternative medicine" (CAM) or "integrative medicine" who play this game, but from my observations they appear to be the most talented at it. Their skill at obfuscating the line between SBM and naturopathy is evidenced by the success they have had in state legislatures in expanding their scope of practice, most recently in Colorado, where, if there is not a groundswell of support urging the Governor to veto SB-215 (or, as Jann Bellamy aptly called it, the quack full employment act), consumer protections against quackery in Colorado will be laid waste. At the same time, there is a naturopath licensing act (HB-1111) sitting on the Governor's desk as well that would license naturopaths and give them the path to mandatory reimbursement from insurance companies. Instructions to write to the Governor opposing both bills can be found here and here; they would be disastrous for efforts to keep full vaccination in Colorado. A direct link to write the Governor can be found here.

Ribbon cutting for Prohibition Distillery in Roscoe
June 21, 2013 —
High spirits were on display at the ribbon cutting ceremony for Prohibition Distillery in Roscoe on June 21. The establishment is selling its first product, which is called a super-premium vodka named Bootlegger 21 New York Vodka.
From the distillery's website, "We use 100% corn. We considered wheat and potato, but liked the flavor profile of corn in bourbons and other whiskeys," says Brian Facquet, who co-owns Prohibition with his partner in-name-only crime, John FK Walsh.
"Our Gluten free, 100% American corn grain, Bootlegger 21 New York Vodka, has a unique genesis. After all, our colorful approach and romantic reverence to the Prohibition era of the 1920's and 30's, has given us supreme optimism in the face of today's divergent opinions and social conflict.
"Just as the Bootleggers shrugged off the 18th Amendment making the transport and sale of liquor illegal in the U.S., we said, 'to heck with the financial woes', and instead quit our jobs to follow our dream. A dream to make a locally crafted spirit that respects a sense of tenacity found in the American entrepreneur. A spirit that pulled us out of a depression, saw the birth of the cocktail, backroom speakeasy, and Bootleggers of notorious fame."

The New Cough and Cold Products for Children: Evidence is Optional and Science is Marketing
It's the time of year where if you're not sick, someone you know probably is. The influenza season in the Northern hemisphere started out slowly, but seems to be accelerating and hasn't peaked yet. Add that to cold viruses circulating, and you get the peak purchasing period for cough and cold remedies. John Snyder gave a nice summary of the evidence base for the common treatments a few weeks ago. In short, despite all the advertising, there is little evidence to suggest that most of the "tried and true" products we've used for decades have any effect on our symptoms. One of the most sensible developments that's occurred over the past few years has been the discontinuation or relabeling (depending on your country) of cough and cold products for children. The rationale to pull these products is compelling: Cough and cold remedies have a long history of use, and were sold without prescriptions before current regulatory standards were in place. They were effectively grandfathered onto the marketplace. When it comes to their use in children, the data are even more limited. There are few published trials and the results are complicated by different age groups, irregular dosing, lack of placebo control, and very small patient numbers. What's even harder to believe was that doses were based mainly on expert opinion, not data, and generally didn't consider that children don't handle drugs the way adults do. So why withdraw them from pediatric use, but not adult use? Like most regulation, it comes down to risk and benefit. Both are troubling for pediatric use. (more…)

An ignorant Yorkshireman having occasion to go to France, was surprised on his arrival to hear the men speaking French, the women speaking French, and the children jabbering away in the same tongue. In the height of the perplexity which this occasioned, he retired to his hotel, and awakened in the morning by the cock crowing, whereupon he burst into a wild exclamation of astonishment and delight, crying, Thank goodness! theres English at last!

My son is 9 months old. Over the past month I have had some weeks where it seems like I am not making much milk and other weeks when I wake up engorged. I think part of my problem is that he is teething. He has been teething pretty much constantly since he has been 5 months old. Whenever he starts to cut teeth he tends to eat like crazy (every 1 or 1 1/2 hours) and when he isn't teething he will go 2-3 hours without eating. During the teething spells he pretty much sucks me dry. During the non-teething spells I will feel milk letdowns before I put him to breast. We visited out pediatrician last week and he weighed 16 lbs 14 ounces. She asked if we are still nursing. I told her yes and he is also eating 3 meals a day. She told me that he should be getting 24 ounces of breast milk or formula each day. Now, of course I don't know how much he is actually getting. She suggested supplementation if I don't think he is getting enough. I have tried that and he doesn't seem to want it. He has taken formula a couple of times but most of the time he will nibble at it and then bat it away. I am not sure if he is not hungry any longer or if he just doesn't want the formula. My son is a very active and healthy boy and is developing normally so I really don't think there is an issue with him not getting enough breast milk. I do pump about twice a day (morning and evening) but I don't get much if any at all. This morning I got 1 1/2 ounces and last night I got drops. Now that you know my background here are my questions.
Is it normal for milk supply to diminish like this? I am hoping to nursing 2 years.
What can I do to increase my milk supply besides pumping, which I am already doing?
Any help and words of encouragement will be very appreciated

On 6th January 2013, Ricky O'Brien had a motorcycle accident on holiday in Thailand that left him in a coma. Unfortunately, Ricky's travel insurance had expired a couple of hours before after he had extended his holidays while staying with family in Northern Thailand. Now his family face escalating health bills to keep him alive. They need help to raise £40k for Ricky to receive the treatment he needs and get him back to the UK. All donations, however small, are gratefully accepted and if you're not able to donate, please share this information to further our cause. Ricky has had a brace put through his head, which is helping to keep his spine straight. The doctors think there is no spinal cord injury, and that it will eventually heal on it's own. He remains in a coma at this time, and other procedures are planned for tomorrow. He moved his head when his family spoke to him, and then again a few hours later when his friends spoke.We'd also love to here from local businesses about donations, and many thanks to the ones that have already been in touch.

In Generating Graphics With Piddle we generated a gantt chart using piddle and the Python Imaging Library. Now we'll extend this concept to generate graphics in real time on the Web. We'll build on the code from the previous article, making references to it as we go along.
Our original script contained a hardcoded data structure that controlled what tasks were displayed, so changing the image required changing the code. That approach works fine for creating images one at a time, but if we want our drawings to respond to input from our users, we'll have to separate the code and data.
Python offers dozens of data storage options as well as a huge
variety of
web modules, but to keep things simple, we'll stick to the basics:
python's bundled
shelve and
modules. With these tools in hand, we're ready to build an HTML
interface for customizing our chart.
We'll use a model-view-controller design pattern for our program. The model is the data stored in a shelf file. The view will show the rendered gantt chart and lists individual tasks. Each task will have a link to the controller page, to let us add, edit, and delete tasks. The following diagram illustrates this design:
This translates to four files:
A shelf is basically a python dictionary stored on disk. The
shelve module uses
pickle to convert objects
to and from strings, and stores those strings in Unix-style database
files via
anydbm. But we don't have to worry about all
that. All we do is tell
shelve where to store the
We'll prepopulate our shelf with some variables using the same data structures from last time. To set it up, we'll need some throwaway code. You can run the following as a script or just type it into the python interpreter interactively:
import shelve
# open the shelf (and create it if it's not there):
s = shelve.open("model.shelf")
s["tasks"]=[{"label":"a task", "boxes":[( 3, 10, "crimson"),
(12, 13, "teal")]}]
# save the data to disk and close the shelf
You can verify that this worked by opening the shelf interactively and examining its contents:
>>> import shelve
>>> s = shelve.open("model.shelf")
>>> s.keys()
['now', 'tasks', 'titles']
>>> s["now"]
We can now start coding a CGI script to use our data model.
The CGI protocol defines how a web server and script communicate. The server defines some environment variables and makes data from the browser available to the script. The script responds with the type of the content it generates, the content itself, and any other information the browser needs.
cgi module takes care of the server side, but
we have to create a well-formed response ourselves. A simple example
looks like this:
print "content-type: text/html"
print "hello, world!"
Note that every python CGI script must print at least a
"content-type" header followed by a blank line, but not every script
needs the
cgi module. We'll use
cgi later,
to examine form submissions on the controller page.
To run the script above, you'll need to configure your web server
to handle CGI. On Unix-likesystems, this often only requires setting
the read and execute bits on your script. On some systems, CGI may
work only in certain directories (eg,
cgi-bin). Consult
your server's documentation for specifics.
With what we've learned and a little bit of HTML,
view.cgi is easy:
 tag to display the image (by setting the
src attribute to chart.cgi);
The script is mostly plain HTML or code we've already seen, except for the last item, displaying a link to edit each task. This requires a loop:
# display the tasks as links:
for row in range(len(tasks)):
print '
%s' \
% (row, tasks[row]["label"])
print ' [delete]
' \
% row
Make sure that the web server has rights to read and write
model.shelf, and load
view.cgi in your
browser. If you run this cgi script now, you will see a broken image
and the list of tasks. Next we will work on the chart.
To create the image, we'll use the original gannt chart code, with three major changes. The new version will
now', '
tasks', and
titles' out of our shelf;
content-type to
The first two changes are simple; the third is trickier. In theory,
we'd just save the piddle canvas to
sys.stdout, but there
are two problems with this approach.
The first problem is that
piddlePIL doesn't allow
saving images to file objects. Since it comes with full source,
however, we can fix it ourselves. Search in
for the
save method. You'll see the problem. A couple
lines down, there's a bit of code that says:
if hasattr(file, 'write'):
raise 'fileobj not implemented for piddlePIL'
Replace that with the following:
if hasattr(file, 'write'):
self._image.save(file, format)
Now, displaying the image on the web is easy. Here's the code, from
the bottom part of
print "content-type: image/jpeg"
import sys
c.save(file=sys.stdout, format="jpeg")
The second problem only happens under Windows: the output gets
corrupted because
stdout is not in binary mode by
default. The fix is arcane, but concise:
import os, sys
if sys.platform=="win32":
import msvcrt
msvcrt.setmode(sys.__stdin__.fileno(), os.O_BINARY)
msvcrt.setmode(sys.__stdout__.fileno(), os.O_BINARY)
Place this before the content-type line and
should have no problem displaying the image.
The controller is in charge of managing our data. Essentially, it does four things:
By default,
controller.cgi shows the "add" form. A
parameter called
action tells it to do something else. We
can pass
action, either as part of a query string (data
following the question mark in a URL) or via a form submission. The
cgi module can handle either method through the
FieldStorage class.
FieldStorage can be
treated almost like a dictionary, although it doesn't implement
every dictionary method. For simple cases like this, it returns values
cgi.MiniFieldStorage objects. The following code
FieldStorage in action:
import cgi
request = cgi.FieldStorage()
action = "add" # by default
if request.has_key("action"):
action = request["action"].value
controller.cgi, a set of if/elif blocks looks at
action parameter and calls the appropriate
function. In a sense, the controller is several CGI scripts rolled
into one. We could have broken these into separate files, but I prefer
to keep related logic together.
Some of the available actions don't return a page to the browser
but, instead, redirect it to another page. In our case,
saveTask and
deleteTask both call
backToView, which returns a
Location header
rather than a content type. The following line sends the browser back
to the view page:
print "Location: view.cgi"
The rest of
controller.cgi, including the code to save
and delete tasks, is pretty straightforward. Consult the source for details.
That's it for this whirlwind tour of the gantt chart CGI application. To recap, we've seen how to store and retrieve data from a python shelf, communicate with the browser through CGI, and use piddlePIL to generate graphics in real time on the Web.

Documents: 3 men had role in Vt. woman's killingTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | May 22,2013AP FILE PHOTO
This undated file identification photo released Sept. 12, 2010, by Vermont State Police shows Pat O'Hagan, 78, of Sheffield. Hagan disappeared from her home in September 2010. Her body was found nearly a month later by hunters in a remote area 10 miles away.BURLINGTON — Three men have been implicated in the September 2010 killing of a 78-year-old grandmother during a botched robbery at her home during which she was sexually assaulted before being shot in the head, say federal court documents filed in connection with another case.
No charges have been filed in connection with the killing of Mary "Pat" O'Hagan, who was missing for about three weeks before her body was found in Wheelock.
The suspects, who are related, provided different reasons for the killing, including robbery and that O'Hagan had learned about methamphetamine being cooked at an abandoned house next door to her home, the federal court documents said.
The court documents say the three men — Richard E. Fletcher, 26; his brother, Keith J. Baird, 32; and Fletcher's cousin Michael Norrie, 22, all of Sheffield — have been implicated in the killing. All three are in federal or state custody on charges unrelated to the killing of O'Hagan.
"After a thorough investigation, Vermont authorities have concluded that Fletcher, accompanied by two male relatives, participated in the crime leading to the killing and disposal of the body," prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memorandum for Fletcher who is facing almost 16 years in prison on charges of sexual exploitation of a minor.
The Burlington Free Press reported none of the attorneys for the three men could be reached for comment.
Norrie was first publicly linked to the case in January 2011 when he made incriminating statements to federal agents investigating another case. The accusations against Fletcher and Baird became public Monday in documents submitted for Fletcher's upcoming sentencing.
State prosecutors have not said why no charges have been filed in connection with O'Hagan's death.
Assistant Vermont Attorney General Cindy Maguire, chief of the criminal division, said the standard for a criminal trial in state court and a federal sentencing is different.
"It is still a pending criminal investigation. We are not going to comment further with respect to the state's case," she said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt. Full StoryVermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell plans to join the U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER Gov. Full Story

December 11 - December 12, 2012
Each year a group of Schlifer clients participate in what has come to be known at the Schlifer as the Gardiner group. This unique trauma informed art therapy group runs for 11 weeks. The group is for women survivors of child sexual abuse/incest, adult sexual assault and intimate partner abuse. The women work with clay to produce a ceramic piece of art in reference to a common theme that is introduced in advance of their participation. Suzanne Thomson, an art therapist and Susan Low-Beer, a ceramic artist, facilitate the group. At the end of the 11 weeks, there is an opening night exhibition where group participants display their sculptures. The women are directly involved in the design and installation of the art exhibit, each time offering the public a unique and compelling window to their reflections on violence against women and their hopes for healing. Come join us for Consciousness Blooms, this year's Gardiner group art exhibit.

Opening of reconstructed NH-Maine bridge uncertain
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — It's unclear exactly when the new Memorial Bridge connecting New Hampshire and Maine will open to traffic, but the celebration date has been set.
Archer Western Contractors has a contractual obligation to complete the bridge connecting Portsmouth to Kittery, Maine, by Friday, or face $25,000 in fines each day after that.
New Hampshire Department of Transportation spokeswoman Madeline Vantine says more work needs to be done before the bridge is turned over to the states.
She said the bridge will probably be ready for vehicle traffic before the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which is scheduled for Aug. 15 at 10 a.m.
The celebration will include an appearance by former Portsmouth Mayor Eileen Foley, who was 5 when she cut the ribbon at the original bridge opening on August 17, 1923.

June 30, 2011 —
Spring is the time of year when much baby wildlife can be seen as they forage for food with their parents, making for easy viewing just in time for the summer tourist season. Unfortunately, some of this activity causes undesirable results. Foraging black bears leave their calling cards in the form of knocked-over trash cans and garbage scattered about. A bear recently made entry into a vacant residence via an open window in the Shohola, PA area, resulting in significant damage.
There are steps that can be taken to minimize the chance of bear problems at home or work. The Pennsylvania Game Commission offers these five steps to avoid attracting bears:
• Do not feed wildlife. Bird seed and scraps left for deer will also attract bear. It's best to use bird feeders in the winter months when bears are in their dens.
• Keep it clean. Don't put garbage outside until pick-up day, and avoid having other food items (pet dishes, etc) out over night.
• Keep your distance. Shout at a mischievous bear, but do not approach it (especially a female with cubs). Make sure you are not in the bear's escape route. Call your local police or wildlife agency if a bear does not leave.
• Eliminate temptation. Work together with your neighbors to reduce an area's appeal to bears. Businesses should use bear-proof waste containers.
• Check your surroundings. If your pet is agitated or acting strange, try to determine what has alarmed it, but do so cautiously, taking full advantage of building floodlights from a safe position.
Mark Ternent, bear biologist for the game commission, states that there are more than 18,000 bear in the Commonwealth. "Bears needn't be feared, nor should they be dismissed as harmless. But they should be respected."

During an early morning walk this past October through and around house-sized sandstone boulders near the top of Pigeon Mountain in Georgia, I got to know spider webs in an intimate and sticky way, but also in a way that led me to seek out a comprehensible textbook about spiders and their webs. The spiders in Georgia had built great block webs in three dimensions!
After reading a bit of the spider book I discovered that spiders are among the most fascinating creatures found on Earth.
Here is a case-in-point that I ran across on the internet the other day when looking for weavers who work cheap.

Speaking of which my friend Tim King the Bugman, has an extensive collection of large ceramic tiles of actual spiderwebs hanging on the outside wall of his log cabin.
What colors, what designs. What fine Art. Tim was not home and he does't have a phone, but his wife told me how Tim does it...
First of all it is done very carefully, then...
(1) Spray paint the web lightly in the color of your choosing.
(2) Sneak up to the web and place the 12" X 12" tile against the plane of the web, and carefully attach tape to the main guy lines of the web.
(3) Quickly flick off the spider...she will tear up your web in a few seconds if you don't.
(4) I don't know if there are any other steps...do you?
Wordwind? of troy? Zed? etaoin? Anyone?

Don't know what the next step is but poor spider. She goes to all that work to create a virtually invisible trap then some activist for Save the Gnats sneaks up and spray paints it and her hot pink! No wonder the spider is thoroughly pissed off and has to be flicked off.
(I should think the designs would be lovely though.)

Thanks etaoin, but I couldn't find anything on Spiderking's site that would help me with my construction. I might see Tim King this weekend and if so I'll get the scoop and pass it on here.
Spiders have been making webs since the Cretaceous,
Doc Bill supplied this URL. I hope it doesn't take 33 years to resolve my lizard fossil like the web-in-amber one here.
Gee whiz by then I will be over fifty-five.

ah, sorry, milo.
this is all I found, too:
collected by Will Knight. The colorless, fragile web of an orb-weaving spider called Araneidae is first brought to light by painting. It is then transferred by hand to a wooden plaque where it is protected with a fine furniture finish to assure a lifetime of enjoyment for all web lover.
I just thought I would share this place, since it's just over a town or two from me..._________________________

You know what, etaoin, one sweet fine day you just might go over and visit that strange and most odd gentleman yourself.
Real life goes on without the internet.
And maybe you will report back to us on what you find.

O'Shaughnessy: Value Screen

|YTD Return:
|Five Year Return:

Passing Companies
Screening Criteria
One of the longest-running debates among stockpickers concerns whether selection criteria should focus on growth characteristics or value characteristics. Chasing hot growth stocks often leaves investors burned, while low-priced, "value" stocks often only become cheaper. Should you buy stocks for their superior growth potential, or because they are undervalued? Several years ago James O'Shaughnessy, president of the investment advisory firm O'Shaughnessy Capital Management, set out to try to settle the argument "once-and-for-all" by testing a series of growth and value screens on a sufficiently large database of stocks covering a long time period. His goal also was to determine which screens within each strategy produced the best returns.
The results of his analyses were first published in 1996 in his book, "What Works on Wall Street: A Guide to the Best-Performing Investment Strategies of All Time" (McGraw-Hill, $29.95). James O'Shaughnessy published a revised edition of the highly popular book in 1997, adding a more detailed breakdown of the performance of the strategies examined, providing data for an additional two years of testing and, most importantly, changing the criteria of one of his strategies. He has also started a number of mutual funds based on his approach.
In his book, O'Shaughnessy argues that the majority of investors fail to beat market averages because they do not follow a disciplined approach to investing. Instead, investors let the emotions surrounding the market overpower their judgment and push them off their planned investment course.
In this stock screen we will examine O'Shaughnessy's research and conclusions covering both single criteria testing as well as the cornerstone growth and value strategies. We will develop screens that follow the cornerstone value and growth strategies in light of the revisions he implemented and provide a look at the performance of these strategies during real-life testing.

Product Details
This sensor system combines industry leading iMEMS® technology with signal conditioning that optimizes dynamic performance. The factory calibration characterizes the entire sensor signal chain for sensitivity and bias over a temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. As a result, each ADIS16133 has its own unique correction for-mulas to produce accurate measurements upon installation. For some systems, the factory calibration eliminates the need for system level calibration and greatly simplifies it for others. The ADIS16133 samples data at rates of up to 2048 SPS and offers an averaging/decimation filter structure for optimizing noise/bandwidth trade-offs. The serial peripheral interface (SPI) and user register structure provide easy access to configuration controls and calibrated sensor data for embedded processor platforms.
The 36 mm × 44 mm × 14 mm package provides four holes for simple mechanical attachment. Use M2 (or 2-56 standard size) machine screws along with a standard 24-pin, dual row, 1 mm pitch connector to support electrical attachment to a printed circuit board (PCB) or cable system. The ADIS16133 provides an operating temperature range of −40°C to +105°C.

text: I was just wondering if anyone has tried the new Dr. Brown's manual pump. Is it as effective as, let's say, the medela. I bought a First Years electric pump when I first had my dd 2 months ago. I think I have a low milk supply. If I buy the medela, do you think it will make a considerable difference? I don't have a lot of extra money right now because I quit my teaching job to take care of my dd full-time. I recently bought an avent manual pump. I pump a lot to try to increase my milk. I did see a little bit of an increase when I switched pumps. I have an 8 lb 10-week-old and pump anywhere from 1-1 1/2 oz. Occasionally I'll get 2, but that is only if I have gone over 4 hours without feeding/pumping. I have been supplementing since her birth because of her low birth weight (4 lbs 14 oz). I am trying to cut out the formula completely while increasing bm. What are your suggestions? Do pumps really make a difference in amount?

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Former state Rep. John Lehman has defeated fake Democrat Tamra Varebrook in a state Senate recall primary.
Unofficial results from Tuesday's election show Lehman, a Racine Democrat, with 68 percent of the vote. Varebrook, of Union Grove, had 32 percent. Lehman will face Republican Sen. Van Wanggaard in a June 5 general recall election.
Lehman and two other Democrats want to oust Wanggaard and two other incumbent Republican senators as payback for passing Republican Gov. Scott Walker's law restricting public workers' union rights. Another Democrat is vying for a chance to face Republican Rep. Jerry Petrowski for an open seat in that same election.
All four Democrats faced Republicans running as Democrats in the primary. The GOP recruited the fake candidates to ensure every Democrat had a primary.

In perhaps its best defensive effort of the season, the Idaho women's basketball team blocked 13 shots, allowed just 45 points, held UTSA to 27 percent shooting and grabbed 22 more rebounds than the Roadrunners in a dominating 64-45 Western Athletic Conference win Saturday night.
The win is Idaho's third straight and fourth WAC road win in as many tries, and the Vandals improve to 9-11 overall and 6-3 in the WAC. UTSA falls to 11-9 on the year and 5-4 in the WAC.
Four Idaho players scored in double figures, including 13 apiece from Christina Salvatore, Connie Ballestero and Jessica Graham. Salvatore and Graham each made three 3-pointers, and Ballestero added two. Alyssa Charlston had 11 points, six rebounds and five of Idaho's blocks, and she went 5-of-10 from the field. Ali Forde had five blocks as well and added 12 rebounds and four points.
"This was nothing but a total team effort, defensively and offensively, and I couldn't be prouder of them," Idaho coach Jon Newlee said. "UTSA has been playing pretty good lately, four wins in a row heading into tonight including knocking off (first-place) Seattle U."
Idaho shot 42.3 percent from the field in the game, and 50 percent, 10-for-20, from long range. On the other end, UTSA made only 16 of its 59 shots, and went 5-of-19 (26.3 percent) from 3-point range. The 45 points scored by UTSA are the fewest for a Vandal opponent this season and its field goal percentage was the second lowest, while Idaho's 13 blocks are the most for the team this year. Idaho owned a 49-27 rebounding advantage, and outscored UTSA 9-4 in second-chance points.
"Our posts did a great job of defending without fouling," Newlee said. "We did a great job of interior defense tonight, and it was huge for us."
Graham, who had made just two 3-pointers all season entering Saturday, went 3-for-4 from long range. Ballestero's 2-for-2 3-point performance gives her five consecutive made 3s in Idaho's last two games, as she went 3-for-3 on Thursday at Texas State.
"I guess their theory was leave Ali and Jess alone, and Jess made them pay tonight," Newlee said of Graham. "She's confident out there for sure, and she if knows she is she's wide open out there she's got the green light."
Idaho scored the first five points of the game and didn't trail until UTSA pulled ahead 16-15 with 9:17 left in the first half. That lead was short lived, and turned out to be the sole Roadrunner advantage of the game. On the very next possession Ballestero made her first 3-pointer to put Idaho back on top. The teams were tied at 20-20 for more than three minutes when Idaho went on a 9-0 run towards the end of the half. UTSA got the last bucket of the period to go into the break trailing 29-22.
The Roadrunners cut Idaho's lead to as little as five points early in the second half, but a Graham free throw with 13:30 to play gave Idaho a 10 point lead, and the Vandals led by double figures the rest of the way. That lead grew for the remainder of the game, and got to as many as 21 with just more than a minute left.
"It was going to be a war, that's what UTSA wants it to be," Newlee said. "Our kids did a great job of keeping their composure as our lead grew. We buckled down defensively and did what we needed to do. We defended and rebounded extremely well."
Idaho is on the road again next week as it visits Utah State on Jan. 31 and San Jose State on Feb. 1 before returning home to host New Mexico State on Nov. 7 and Denver on Nov. 9.

Bethany Reynolds developed her Stack-n-Whack ™ method for cutting identical kaleidoscope quilt pieces.
|Getting Started
Bethany Reynolds developed her Stack-n-Whack™ method for cutting identical pieces to make kaleidoscope quilt blocks. This popular technique makes quick work of the cutting process.
|Making the Stack
1. Cut kaleidoscope fabric in half lengthwise.
2. Straighten end of one half-width of fabric. Focusing on a specific motif in fabric, cut a strip that is the width of one pattern repeat (approximately 12″ for the Geo Magic print used in Spin Cycle.) Using this piece as a guide, cut 7 more strips, each 1 pattern repeat wide (Photo A).
3. Press and then stack the 8 layers so that motifs are perfectly lined up. Pin the layers in several places to keep them from slipping when cutting.
4. Repeat steps #2 and #3 to make a second 8-layer stack from the remaining piece of fabric.
Sew Smart™ Push a flathead pin through each layer in exactly the same spot on the print to align layers as shown in Photo B.—Marianne
Cutting Kite-shaped Pieces
1. From each stack, cut 2 (5 3/8″-wide) strips. From strips, cut 12 (5 3/8″) quilt squares.
2. Cut each stack of squares in half diagonally to make 24 half-square triangle stacks.
3. To cut each triangle, stack into a kite shape, place the 5 3/8″ line of ruler on bottom left corner of triangle stack; cut off corner to make 8 A kite pieces (Photo C).

Editorial was off-baseMay 04,2013
Editorial was off-base
The papers editorial April 28 was poorly written. Comparing Peter Shumlin with Mitt Romney sounded like it was written by a little kid with a grudge and was way off point. In a word, it was a little tacky. This is the same governor the paper recently lauded after the state of the State speech for being so good and progressive. It was obvious that you do not understand how the earned income credit works and affects taxes. The scary part to me is it seems our legislators also do not understand tax economics.
To clarify two recent points made in the paper. A reduction (or even an elimination) of the earned income credit does not increase anyones tax. In Sundays paper an editorial by Carlen Finn stated that the earned income credit allows taxpayers to keep more of their hard earned money. No it does not.
The earned income credit is, by my definition, a pure entitlement tax policy. Taxpayers can have little and in many cases no tax liability and still collect a substantial refund. It is not really a refund because the money was never paid in. It is not keeping more of their hard earned money it is taking other peoples money. It is also a great policy which I fully endorse. It cost the federal government $62 billion last year and it is worth every penny.
However, when it comes to the state paying earned income credits there is a difference. The governor was right in bringing up looking at our policies regarding earned income credits. Compare Vermont, for instance, to our neighbors to the south. Massachusetts pays 15 percent of the federal credit, a nice progressive and generous credit. Vermont pays 24 percent of the federal credit. So, if any of our legislators can tell me where that number came from, Ill buy you a beer. Id be happy to explain where it came from and explain why it might be a good thing to look at.
Also note, Massachusetts does not have an income sensitive property tax that refunds hundreds of millions of dollars. A couple of hundred million in credits plus another 25 million and pretty soon youre talking some real money.
