Cannons Extend Duffy's Contract Through 2013
from press release
BOSTON - The Boston Cannons of Major League Lacrosse (MLL), the premier professional outdoor lacrosse league, today announced head coach Steve Duffy's contract extension through the 2013 season. In his first year as head coach, Duffy has led the 2012 Cannons to a 9-5 record and the team's 10th playoff appearance. The Cannons seek to defend the MLL Championship in front of their home crowd on August 25 & 26 at Harvard Stadium.
"It was an easy decision to offer Coach Duffy a contract extension," said Cannons General Manager Kevin Barney. "From the day we named him head coach, he has dedicated countless hours towards bringing success to the organization. It was a seamless transition for the team, and he has achieved our first goal by bringing the Cannons to Championship Weekend for the fourth straight year. While the ultimate outcome for 2012 is still to be decided, we are excited to announce that he will be back to lead the team for the 2013 season."
"Although we are still focused on this year and our team goals for 2012, I'm happy to look toward the future with the Boston Cannons and I'm excited for what's to come," said Duffy.
Duffy's current contract ends on August 31. The signed extension is through August 31, 2013. Details of the contract were not disclosed per the team's policy.
Prior to being named head coach in the fall, Duffy served as an assistant to Bill Daye for three seasons. A Waltham, MA native, Duffy is well known in the local community for his involvement in the sport. Duffy is recognized in the Waltham High School Hall of Fame after coaching the varsity program for 18 years. While at the helm of the varsity team, Duffy also founded the Waltham Youth Lacrosse Program in 1994 to further foster the sport's development in his hometown. He remains a board member for the Patriot Youth Lacrosse League.
"In addition to leading the team, Coach Duffy has been a tremendous asset off the field as we continue to grow our fan base and promote the game of lacrosse throughout New England," continued Barney. "Coach Duffy took over as the director of the Cannons Lacrosse Academy in six locations this summer, and attends charity events and appearances throughout the year."
The #3 Cannons play at 4pm on Saturday, August 25 in the second semi-final game against the #2 Chesapeake Bayhawks (#1 Denver Outlaws play #4 Long Island Lizards at 1pm). More information is available at majorleaguelacrosse.com/championship-weekend and tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster.com or by calling the Cannons office at 617-746-9933.

Fans sink into Cruise's Oblivion' in $38.2M debutAP PHOTO
This film publicity image released by Universal Pictures shows Olga Kurylenko, left, and Tom Cruise in a scene from Oblivion.
LOS ANGELES Movie fans slipped into Oblivion as the Tom Cruise sci-fi thriller led Hollywood with a $38.2 million debut, according to studio estimates Sunday.
That domestic haul comes on top of $33.7 million Oblivion added in overseas markets, where the film began rolling out a week earlier. Oblivion raised its overseas total to $112 million and its worldwide receipts to $150.2 million.
Though many people Friday were caught up in coverage of the manhunt for the suspect in the Boston Marathon explosions, it seems to have had little effect on how the film fared.
Oblivion took in $13.3 million on opening day Friday and $14.9 million Saturday. That 12 percent increase is not unusual for big new releases, which typically do better business on Saturday than Friday.
While Boston was on lockdown much of Friday, that market only accounts for about 1 percent of the nationwide box office, said Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal, which released Oblivion. The manhunt mainly affected matinee business, with theaters reopening Friday night, when Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was taken into custody.
Once the guy was arrested, I think people got back into their regular routine, Rocco said.
The previous weekends top film, the Warner Bros. baseball drama 42, held up well, slipping to second-place with $18 million in its second weekend. The Jackie Robinson biography starring Chadwick Boseman and Harrison Ford raised its domestic total to $54.1 million and is on its way to the $100 million mark, said Dan Fellman, Warners head of distribution.
Overseas, Paramounts G.I. Joe: Retaliation got a lift with $40 million, most of it coming from a $33 million debut in China. The action sequel has topped $200 million internationally and $300 million worldwide.
Oblivion came in a bit higher than industry expectations. But despite its strong opening, Hollywoods 2013 revenue funk continued, with overall domestic receipts at $109 million, down 19.4 percent from the same weekend last year, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com.
A year ago, two new romances the comedy Think Like a Man and the drama The Lucky One combined for $56 million that weekend, while the blockbuster The Hunger Games remained strong with nearly $15 million.
Even Tom Cruise was unable to beat the strength of two really strong newcomers that were devoid of stars anywhere near in his league, said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. That tells you the difference between last year and this year. Even when we have a good weekend like this in 2013, generally these weekends, they pale by comparison to what happened last year.
Domestic revenues in 2013 total $2.76 billion, down 11.2 percent from where business was at last year, when Hollywood took in record cash.
Business slumped a bit in summer 2012 with some high-profile duds, so studios have a shot at gaining ground over last year with this seasons upcoming blockbusters, which include Iron Man 3, Star Trek Into Darkness, The Hangover Part III and Man of Steel.
Still, the gap almost certainly will continue to rise in the early part of the summer season.
Disneys Marvel Studios sequel Iron Man 3 is expected to open with a whopping $125 million-plus domestically over the first weekend in May, Dergarabedian said. But that would fall far short of the record-breaking $207.4 million debut for the Marvel ensemble smash The Avengers over the same weekend last year.
Even so, Cruises Oblivion provides a solid action lead-in to summer. The film stars Cruise as a repairman fixing machines in the wastelands of Earth after an alien attack.
Despite upheavals and odd behavior in Cruises personal life in the last six or seven years, he remains one of Hollywoods surest box-office draws. Universal reported that in exit polls, fans cited Cruise as the No. 1 reason they saw the film.
Hes a global star, Rocco said. People love Tom Cruise. If you put him in the right vehicle, they love him even better.
In narrower release, Rob Zombies latest horror tale The Lords of Salem flopped with $622,000 in 355 theaters, for a dismal average of $1,752 a cinema. That compared to an average of $10,085 in 3,783 theaters for Oblivion.
The low-budget hip-hop drama Filly Brown opened solidly with $1.4 million in 188 theaters, for an average of $7,250. The film stars Gina Rodriguez and the late Jenni Rivera in the story of a young talent with a shot at stardom on Los Angeles hip-hop scene.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

What Aaron Rodgers is doing at the line of scrimmage these days is so important to the Green Bay Packers' offensive success that everyone involved can't say enough about it.
That is, when they're not trying to avoid saying anything about it.
For while the Packers quarterback gets nothing but praise for the adjustments he's making – both in the passing game and in the run game – from his coaches, questions that attempt to delve into exactly what and how he's doing it are treated either like it's a matter of national security or open mic night at the Chuckle Hut. The goal: Make sure Monday night's opponent, the Chicago Bears, won't know too much about what Rodgers is up to.
"You mean, he's changing plays out there?" quarterbacks coach Ben McAdoo replied when asked about one specific play recently.
"There is a scheme question," head coach Mike McCarthy replied when asked about the same play. "I really don't want to get into the specifics of it, (but) it's a real credit to him and really the line. They're doing a heck of a job."
The play in question came two weeks ago against the Cleveland Browns, as the Packers faced third-and-5 from the Cleveland 22-yard line. As Rodgers stepped to the line of scrimmage with McCarthy having called a pass play in his helmet headset, he surveyed the Browns' defense and saw only five defenders near the line of scrimmage.
Now, Rodgers has been making decisions at the line of scrimmage since he took over as the Packers' starting quarterback in 2008, with McCarthy, former offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, current offensive coordinator Tom Clements (his quarterbacks coach from 2006 through 2011) and McAdoo increasing his responsibility almost annually. Run/pass options – where McCarthy gives Rodgers one running play and one passing play to choose from and he picks based on the defensive look – have long been a staple of the offense. On those plays, Rodgers alerts the receivers if he's going to the pass, while the offensive linemen simply run-block regardless.
But this was different. In this instance, Rodgers was changing the play entirely – something McCarthy has given him the freedom to do but he seldom does so dramatically.
"It was a called pass, and Aaron saw how they were deployed," Clements said of the Browns' defense. "He still could have gone through with the pass; it wasn't a bad look for the pass. But it was an inviting look for the run, and he made the call and the line blocked it. And it was successful because of that."
How out-of-the-box was Rodgers' decision? According to the NFL's official statistics, the Packers faced third-and-5 a combined 49 times during the 2010, 2011 and 2012 seasons. On those plays, the quarterback threw a pass on 39, and he scrambled on 10 – meaning that before Lacy's run, the Packers had never handed off to a running back in that situation over the previous three years.
"I can't give out a lot of details about that play. We're trying to minimize our info that leaves the loose lips that sink ships occasionally 'round here," Rodgers said. "I will say this: I have a lot of confidence in our offensive line, and that's a play that probably wouldn't happen in years past. That's a passing down, they're playing man coverage, they're bringing (a safety) down to help out probably on (wide receiver) Jordy (Nelson) inside."
Sometimes, on such a play, Rodgers would pretend to change the play at the line of scrimmage – called a "dummy" call – and then run the play that had been called anyway. Not this time.
"When we have run/pass options there, it kind of depends on the (defensive) look, and there's a lot of dummy calls that go into it. Luckily, there were a few guys who may not have gotten whether it was a dummy or not, but we had enough guys blocked inside for Eddie to have a gash there and get us a first down," Rodgers said. "In that situation, you feel very confident with the angles we had up front that Eddie was going to be able to get the 5 yards."
(Interestingly, one reason Rodgers can make the calls that he does is the fact that he doesn't wear a mouthguard, which he said allows him to enunciate his calls better, which allows his teammates to more clearly understand what he's saying.)
A week earlier at Baltimore, Rodgers made a similar decision. Leading 19-17 with 1 minute, 32 seconds left to play – after tight end Jermichael Finley absentmindedly went out of bounds at the end of his 52-yard catch-and-run – the Packers were facing third-and-2 from the Ravens' 13-yard line. While Baltimore had used its last timeout, had the Packers failed to pick up the first down, they'd have sent kicker Mason Crosby out for a field-goal attempt. Even if he'd have made the chip-shot, the defending Super Bowl champs might've had enough time to pull off a miracle comeback and win the game with a touchdown.
The call McCarthy sent in was for Lacy to run right, behind Don Barclay and T.J. Lang. Rodgers changed it to a run to the left, behind David Bakhtiari and Josh Sitton. Lacy did the rest, gaining 4 yards and sliding to stay in bounds. Rodgers knelt out the remaining time in the victory formation.
"In that situation, you kind of have to trust your gut instinct," Rodgers explained. "And there were a few of those plays (against the Ravens) where you have to trust what you see and what you feel, and I've done that for many years."
One new thing the Packers coaches have Rodgers doing this year, though, is making decisions about running plays at the line. According to Clements, Rodgers breaks the huddle on many running plays with a menu of variations on that play. While there are a myriad of reasons why the Packers' long-dormant running game ranks third in the NFL at 141.4 yards per game – scheme adjustments, Lacy's effectiveness, improved blocking and communication up front and a greater commitment to the run from McCarthy as the play-caller – tasking Rodgers with making decisions on runs is also a factor, Clements said.
"We've always put a lot on the quarterback's plate here because if a guy is able to handle it, you'd like to give him a lot of responsibility," Clements said. "Aaron is a guy that I think takes pride in making correct adjustments to get us into a good plays. He's been very effective with that. This year especially, we probably have a little bit more, put a little bit more on him in the run game.
"A lot of the runs we get, obviously we're getting great running and great blocking, but he's making some adjustments on his own or talking with the line on the sideline to get us in the proper play. It's a fine line. We don't want to overload him, we don't want overload any of our players. But we have smart players and they're able to make adjustments quickly."
According to Clements, Rodgers makes at least 15 to 20 adjustments per game and is batting over .900 with his decisions on play-calls. (To which Rodgers replied, "Is that OPS or just average?")
"When he makes the adjustment, it usually works out," Clements said. "In a lot of our runs, we have a lot of options based on what the defenses does or what look they present. We might call a particular play, but we may have three or four options based on the defense, and so when you have all those options, the line has to talk to the quarterback, the quarterback has to listen, has to communicate to (everyone else). Because we have so many options, it requires more communication, and they're doing a good job of it.
"It's more on Aaron, and it's more on the line because you're calling a play in the huddle, and then you get up there and you see that maybe that play isn't very good against the defensive front and another play is better. So you make the adjustment. Aaron has to recognize it, and then the line has to be able to adjust the blocking scheme to suit the call."
Running backs coach Alex Van Pelt, a former quarterback who backed up Pro Football Hall of Famer Jim Kelly with the Buffalo Bills in the 1990s, said Rodgers is as good as it gets at making such decisions – and he's doing it while losing key players (wide receiver Randall Cobb, tight end Jermichael Finley, wide receiver James Jones) to injury on a near-weekly basis.
"It's amazing. This guy's unbelievable," Van Pelt said. "Not just in the pass game, but the run game. He's been a key part of how the success of this run game has come about because of his ability to get us in the proper runs. He does a great job -- as well as anybody in the business – of making sure we have the right angles and the right blocking scheme for the front that's presented. He does an awesome job with that.

Forget the loss, show the Giants who's boss
Ouch yesterday's loss to the Padres hurt.
Onto better things, I've been waiting for a day like today. Damn near every Rockies game I've attended so far this season to has been cold or wet.
Today I have a few things going for me. First, I'm off work today. I tend to have a lot more energy on days that I haven't gotten up at 2:30 am and worked a ten hour shift before going to batting practice.
The weather today is supposed to be beautiful and the last game I attended I snagged five baseballs so I'm feeling it. I'm just hoping they'll have batting practice.
Last baseball season I made a wager with a Giants fan I work with named Todd. The wager was which team "the Giants or Rockies" would have more wins in the month of Sept 08.
The loser had to wear the other's jersey at work for a day.
(Giants fan Todd wearing Todd Helton's jersey for a day—–YEAH ! ———>>)
Well that same bet is on this season only it's for the entire season.
But wait there's more, a second wager was placed on which team will have more wins in just the Rockies/Giants series this season. The loser has to purchase and cook hot dogs at work one day in September for everyone working.
Right now the Giants are a win up on the Rockies in games they've played against each other and three games above the Rockies in wins this season.
That sheet needs to change quick like, I don't like playing catch up.I hate losing to the Giants.
Most baseball fans have players they admire/respect besides the ones on their favorite team.
Today I get to witness one of mine in action. I hate when the Rockies have to face this guy, but I love any opportunity I get to see him pitch.
That player for me is Randy Johnson. The Big Unit.
So the scenario I'm going for tonight is Randy pitches well for his run on the mound and the Giants relievers blow it in the later innings.
Rockies get the win.
I might even pull the Ranter jersey off, head over to the Giants dugout and see if I can get the Unit's autograph.
There are not many players I'll do that for.
The Rockies fan profile is something that I will do periodically throughout the season. I will have a link on my sidebar to a page where you can view them all.
I will always post them in a blog entry first.
The first Rockies Fan Profile has to be Dan Sauvageau.
Dan is a true Rockies fan in every sense of the word. He has introduced me to a lot of really cool people at Coors Field and is always doing something nice for someone whether it be hooking them up with tickets or physically taking someone who needs help to the game and getting them home safe.
Anyone who knows Dan or has met him can testify to his kindness/generosity.
Bottom line Dan loves baseball and loves sharing it with his family.
I respect that.
He and his daughter Emily are regulars at Coors field and can always be found in Row 1 of the left field pavilion handing out baseballs and cheering on the Rockies.
Dan writes an MLBlog for his daughter Emily called Dinger's best friend.
These are the Rockies Fan Profile questions and here are Dan's answers.
Q– How long have you been a Rockies Fan?
A- 1993, I hate to say it, but I was a Cubs fan before that.
Q Your Favorite Rockies Player. A) current B) past
A–Todd Helton and Larry Walker.
Q- Who is your favorite baseball player of all time.
A- Mike Schmidt.
Q- What is your best Rockies moment personal or witnessed.
A- When I caught two home run balls on the fly in the SAME inning off of Mike Lansing and Jeff Cirillo.
5. Rockies player you'd most like to have a beer and a burger with.
A- Larry Walker
Q- Tell me your favorite donut.
Thank you Dan for all you do.
For supporting the Rockies and for being part of the Rockpile Rant pretty much from the beginning.
I have a feeling that today is going to be one of those good days. Watching baseball live is like fishing. There are no bad days.
Go Rockies…D

Ranter, I agree with you on watching Johnson tonight. He looked like vintage Big Unit last time we faced him. I hope we can touch him up for a few more runs tonight. Nice job on the fan profile (see if you can squeeze me into one). I love reading your blogs and seeing the pics. I'll try and come by and say hello at the game today. Peace, Love and Baseball.
BLAKE-Send me an email with a picture, a little bio and the answers to the above questions and I'll do you're profile.
The next Rockies Fan Profile will e R-Luv…D
Hey D,
Have a great time at the game. I think with the luck you've been having getting autographs The Big Unit's is in the bag.
Game just over. . . didn't turn out quite the way most of us expected it to, I think! But hey, that's quite OK with me! 😀 Hope you got the graph, but yikes. . . to take off the Ranter jersey to do so? Dang. LOL
Cool Fan Profile. I can attest to Dan's generosity to fellow Rox fans. :0)

Quest to be the best
In the NYSPHSAA state wrestling tournament, Liberty junior Andy Martinez (182) finished sixth overall as he wrestled through a hurt shoulder. He was pinned by top-seeded Tony Lock of Pioneer in a semifinal bout. Martinez is the first Liberty wrestler to place at states since Tony Lewis in 1964. At the Section 9 Indoor Track State Qualifier, Sullivan County doubled up its state contenders from a year ago. Eldred will send an unprecedented three to compete at Cornell University on March 18. Sullivan West's Rachel Deppa will make her third trip to states in the 1500 racewalk. She looks to better her 12th- and 10th-place finishes at states recorded over the past two years. Alex Campanella will vie in the 1600, Hunter Proscia will compete in the 3200 and Breanna Brucher goes for her winning leap of 10-0 in the pole vault. Tri-Valley's Jimmy Bernstein won the mile at the state qualifier with a personal best time of 4:29.15, a full 3:29 faster than his prior best. He is the first T-V indoor state contender since Garrett Grey's shot put acumen sent him to states in 2006. Danielle Darby qualified by winning the shot put and weight throw. The latter is not a state event but Darby's throw of 47-6 was 13 inches farther than she posted a year ago. Garrett LaPolt will represent Monticello with his win in the shot put with a mark of 50-10.25, while Amanda Bertholf qualified in the pole vault with a leap of 9-3.

Mr. Go-It-AloneJanuary 17,2013President Standoffish doesnt want to be seen as a stiff.
Most people who know me know Im a pretty friendly guy, he protested at his White House news conference Monday. And I like a good party.
Maybe. But President Barack Obama always seems to be dancing alone. And that was the vibe of his swan-song news conference for Act 1 of his presidency.
His words were laced with an edge churlish, chiding and self-pitying. He sardonically presented himself as Lonely Guy, shafted by the opposition, kicking around the White House on his own. Days before his second inauguration, he seemed to be intimating that the job he had fought so hard for and won against all odds was a bit of a chore, if not a bore.
When the man who once enraptured packed stadiums was asked by The Times Jackie Calmes about the criticism that his administration has been too insular, he bristled a tad.
He acknowledged, while conveying that he didnt believe it, that he could do a better job on nurturing personal relationships with lawmakers. (Even if Republicans see him, as Politicos Glenn Thrush wrote, as a pedantic, hectoring fuss-budget.)
Now that my girls are getting older, they dont want to spend that much time with me anyway, he said, as reporters laughed, so Ill be probably calling around, looking for somebody to play cards with me or something, because Im getting kind of lonely in this big house. So maybe a whole bunch of members of the House Republican caucus want to come over and socialize more.
Some Democrats wish he would start a regular game in the Indian Treaty Room so he could work on his poker face. Others are ready for a Bridget Jones approach: Love the president the way he is. Time to go with the flow.
He doesnt reach out very well, one told me. People should get over it.
It is striking how subdued the mood is as the president heads into his second inauguration party.
At his first one, the nations capital was suffused with passion and wonder and dreams, nearly 2 million hope-besotted faces beaming up at the new president, hoping he could save their shirts, shrieking with delight as W.s helicopter flew away over the Capitol.
Now the thrill is dimmed, with a series of grinding, petty fights ahead. Certainly, theres a sense among Democrats that theyre happy Obama is president; the race was close enough that they got a metallic taste of how bad the country would have been if that bunch of backward Republicans got in.
But the cost of W.s misbegotten wars and his mishandling of the economy overwhelmed Obamas first term. And Obama underwhelmed on traits everyone thought hed excel at: negotiating, selling, charming, scaring, bully-pulpiting, mobilizing, dealing with Capitol Hill and, especially, communicating. Its taken the White House four years to develop a coherent message: Pay your bills.
Washingtons mood is as gray as the weather, full of burning Republicans and yearning Democrats.
Were facing default. Again.
Were mired in partisan trash-talking. Still.
And despite the tragedy of the children riddled with bullets in Newtown, Conn., no one is expecting any consequential fixes to our absurdly lax gun laws.
Many top Democrats here feel distant from the White House. They like seeing him try to take it to the Republicans on money and, in the all-too-brief time he has left to get things done before he morphs into a lame duck, want him to follow through on guns and immigration, to say this is the right thing to do and this is what we got elected on and either get on board or get out of the way.
The president complained that even when he invites Republicans to a White House picnic and poses with their families, it doesnt prevent them from going onto the floor of the House and blasting me for being a big-spending Socialist.
Steve Stockman, a Republican elected to the House from Texas, has barely started work, but hes already threatening to start impeachment proceedings against the president if he takes executive action on gun safety measures.
A Greek chorus of historians and pols has been urging the president to spend more time schmoozing with Republican and Democratic lawmakers, as other presidents like Jefferson, Lincoln and LBJ did to get their way.
But Obama still resists the idea that personal relationships can be pivotal, noting that his suspicion is that the issues will be resolved only if Americans push hard, vote recalcitrant lawmakers out and reward folks who are trying to find common ground.
And its true that Republicans have snubbed the president. John Boehner blew off Obamas invites for six state dinners, and Mitch McConnell skipped all but one.
Unlike Chris Christie, Republicans here want to make sure that the president dances alone.

So let me start out by saying that I successfully fed my first son for 18 months with minimal issue. I am so frustrated with my swcod breastfeeding experience. I will not quit unless my girls fall off... And at this point it feels like they are going to!!
I have inverted nipples so we started our experience with some nipple cracking ( but minor). Then at week 2, I got mastitis. Then week 4 I thought I had thrush as my nipples were burning and very very red and the cracks that were getting better, grew to huge crevices. The doc put me on 14 days of diflucam and I only have three days left..... In the meantime, I have not seen any improvement in the redness or the cracks on my nipples. My baby is now 6 weeks and when I went to the doc this week, she said she is not so sure it is thrush and prescribed me another antibiotic. She didn't say mastitis or anything like that, maybe she is thinking the cracks have gotten infected? Anyhow, I have taken the antibiotics ( along with a mucho amount of probiotics). Then I got a horrible stomache flu.... Ugh. So now my body is so run down. I have been drinking tons and tons of water o rehydrate after all of the vomiting and diahrea. I am ready for the nipple and breat pain to go away and to feel better! I feel like I have been battling somehibg for the past six weeks and I am so needing my energy level to come back and I want to feel better.... Any thoughts or advice on the crevices in the nipples? Btw, my beautiful 6 wk old loves loves loves to nurse and just screams when he can't use me as his paci. I have tried pumping to give my nipples some healing time, but always give in to the scream. Also, I saw an lc thinking maybe we had bad latch, but she said it looks great. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.

Dodgers April 2013 Schedule
Here is the Dodgers April 2013 schedule courtesy of http://www.thelfp.com/blog/
Thanks to Rene for reminding me that the Dodger games at Baltimore are in April. I had forgotten!
Ahhhh this is so cool! Thanks Mike!
I want to go to Baltimore. I have never been to Camden Yards. I have never been to Baltimore. I think I have been at the airport but that does not count.
For Opening Day, well is a Holiday for me but I have already asked my boss for a vacation day! He did give a hard time as is Fiscal Year-End closing at work but I reminded him I worked two days during the Holiday shutdown. He says that is the reason why he approved it but like I said, he knows Opening Day is MY religious Holiday.
So anyone have any tips for Baltimore?
Update 1/26/13. I got the pocket schedule so here is the star breakdown:
1-Star = 3/29, 4/16, 4/29
2-STar = 4/2, 4/5, 4/6, 4/7, 4/15, 4/26, 4/28
3-Star = 4/3, 4/17, 4/27, 4/30
4-Star = 4/1
5 Comments
thanks Brian! I did not realize before that the Baltimore trip so soon. I am used to Interleague coming later. Ooohh crab!
Hey Emma,
How did you make Wed., Apr. 24, into Apr. 26? Nice trick, Anyway, you should visit Babe Ruth's (he was a Dodger coach for a little while!) boyhood home/museum in downtown Baltimore, a short walk from Camden Yards.

In theory, prostate cancer cells can spread anywhere in the body. In practice, though, most cases of prostate cancer metastasis occur in the lymph nodes and the bones.
Prostate cancer metastasis occurs when cells break away from the tumor in the prostate. The cancer cells can travel through the lymphatic system or the bloodstream to other areas of the body.
More commonly prostate cancer metastasis can occur in the:
- Bones
- Lymph nodes
- Lungs
- Liver
- Brain
Rare locations of prostate cancer metastasis include:
- Adrenal glands
- Breasts
- Eyes
- Kidneys
- Muscles
- Pancreas

Our 2nd Employee: David Wagner
While many involved in the racing industry may change jobs frequently, David Wagner has spent the last 20 years helping Joe Gibbs Racing bring cars to the track. He began as one of the two mechanics that the team had building cars. As the team grew, his responsibilities also grew. With more and more people working in the prep shop, he took over as supervisor. This year he became the special projects manager for the shop. Wagner plans to retire from the racing industry next year.
What all does being special projects manager entail?
I just manage any special project that comes through that really doesn't have a department to work on it. I take over that and find the people to work on it.
What special project are you currently working on?
Over the winter, I worked on the fueling system, because it was new. It needed a lot of guidance to implement it to fuel cars on a pit stop. I took that on as a special project. Right now, I am looking at building some equipment for the pit crew to use for working out.
What did you do before you were at Joe Gibbs Racing?
I grew up in racing in Knoxville, TN. My father owned a small machine shop where he built racecar motors. I started racing myself, when I was a junior in high school in 1972. What I have done my whole life is racing. I got started at a young age and was really hooked on it. I started building my own cars, building cars for other people and racing locally. Then there was a company in Knoxville called Thunder Craft Boats, and they started a race team in a lower level called All-Pro racing. It was a touring event. They asked me if I would start it from the ground up and run it for them. I did that for about 3 or 4 years, and I met a lot of people in NASCAR and started making connections there. I felt like that was the next move for me. I talked to some people and finally talked Moroso Racing into giving me a job. I moved over here from Knoxville and lived in a motel. My wife stayed in Knoxville and worked her job. We kept our house just to see if I liked it, and if they liked me, before we gave up everything. That is how I got over here to Charlotte. When they started Joe Gibbs Racing and hired Dale Jarrett and Jimmy Makar, Jimmy contacted me about coming to work here, and I did. As we started the place, it was just Jimmy and I for a while. We bought an existing team, went through a warehouse, and went through the stuff to see what we could use. Then we started the team up and in the first year we started, I think we had 11 employees out at the shop working. Then I kind of grew naturally into being the supervisor of the prep shop. I was the prep shop at the beginning of it. There were only two mechanics, and one of them traveled, and I didn't. This whole side of the shop basically was me. I think our first year we had six or seven cars. It grew from there into what it has become today.
How did you start working for Joe Gibbs Racing?
The place that I was working wasn't it very good shape, and was about to go out of business. They were starting this team, and I had heard about it. I had talked to Jimmy (Makar) about it, when I found out he was going to be in charge of it. That was another reason I wanted to come here, was because of Jimmy. He was a very respected person. I have a lot of respect for him. I did then, and I have even more after working with him for 20 years. I didn't know a lot about the Gibbs of what kind of owners they would be. I didn't come here because it was Joe Gibbs. I came here more because of Jimmy and knowing his history, not knowing very much about the Gibbs. It turned out to be very good. They are by far the best owners in racing. I think they are the best employers you can have of any business. I don't see how you can have any body any better to take any better care of you.
What were your starting responsibilities in getting the car to race?
We had a very small group of guys. When it was one other mechanic and I, we had some help from different departments. My job was basically to completely assemble the cars, to do the maintenance on them, to put motors in them, to take them to the set up plate, to set them up, and to get them ready to leave for the racetrack.
What were your responsibilities as a supervisor of the floor?
The whole car. From the time it came to this side of the shop as just a body and a chassis, I oversaw the guys putting the car together. It was the same things that I did whenever I was a mechanic, but I oversaw them because we had a lot more cars and a lot more people. It was basically taking a body and a chassis, building all the components that go on it, putting all the components on the car, putting the motor in the car and sending it down to the set up plate. At that time there were 35 guys that worked under me in this department.
What are your favorite memories of working here at JGR?
I don't know if there is any one fond memory. It was so different, because everybody did everything. It wasn't as specialized as it is now. It was good to work for the Gibbs. They are just such great people. Employers are not the greatest people to work for to begin with, and then you get in racing. To have them as good as they are just takes it to another level. It is even more special.
How has the dynamic of the shop and the team changed as it has grown?
It has changed so much, because now it is so specialized. Now you have people where it is almost like an assembly line. You have people that just do there little job and that is it. There are specialists all through the building. Back when it was such a small thing, you had to do everything. You were a mechanic before lunch. Maybe after lunch you had to help fabricate and build parts. The next morning you were in the body shop working a little bit. Everybody had to do a little bit of everything. The biggest change is that there is none of that now. Even in your department there are specialty departments, and you have to stay in your special department.
When everyone had to do everything, was there ever something you had to do that was out of your comfort zone?
I don't think I had that, simply because I had been racing since I was a kid. I did everything from building my own cars from just a pile of steel to building the motor. That is really what led me to be the supervisor, there was really nothing in racing that I couldn't do. I don't know that I ever had to do anything that I wasn't comfortable with. My uniqueness to the Gibbs is that I am well experienced at it.
How will it feel to retire after 20 years?
I don't know if retirement is the right word. It is just that I have been racing my entire life. I would just like to do something different. I don't think it is retiring. I think it is leaving here. My wife and I are going to move to the mountains. We are just going to have a simple life. I will still be working. I will just be working in less of a high-pressure environment.
What are some of the stories that you will take with you into retirement?
I think how hard we worked back then as such a small team. I am not saying that we don't work hard now, but back then there were so few people. You worked so many hours. It was very hard work, but it was a lot more rewarding, because you did everything. Winning our championships was special. Winning the first Daytona for the Gibbs was also very special. For me, the biggest accomplishment has been seeing the place grow from 11 employees to what it is now and to know that I helped plant that seed and helped it grow to where it is today. Personally, that is a pretty big accomplishment.
How would you describe what it was like to work for the Joe Gibbs Racing team for 20 years?
Well, the Gibbs are very good people and take very good care of you. I always like to say that in racing most of the people you work for were always trying to figure out how to steal a dollar from you, whereas the Gibbs were always trying to figure out how to put an extra dollar in your pocket. There are just very good people, and they have always given us every thing we needed to race. Anything that we have asked for, they have said they will get it for us. That makes your job a lot easier then working at a place that does not have very many resources and having to scrounge around to try and make things work.
How do you feel about the time you spent with the team?
To work 20 years in racing is a huge accomplishment. It is getting more to where that could happen in the future, but in the past it never happened. People jumped from job to job. If you stayed there 2 years it was an eternity. I feel like that was a very major accomplishment. I still feel like I have accomplished a lot just by taking this thing from a bunch of parts in a warehouse, and help building it to what is today.

Emerging and Persistent Investor Threats Named
The list of potentially dangerous financial products and practices was updated last month by the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA). This year's list includes practices designed to exploit new and existing federal laws.
New threats on the top-10 list are:
- Crowd funding and Internet offers: Small startups are among the risky investment categories, and the JOBS Act is likely to elongate a recent trend of more investigations and enforcement actions involving Internet fraud.
- Inappropriate advice or practices from investment advisers: The Dodd-Frank Act transferred primary supervision of thousands of mid-sized advisers to state regulators, from the Securities and Exchange Commission. This will result in new audits and the discovery of more problems.
- Scam artists using self-directed IRAs to mask fraud: Fraud promoters often deceive investors by claiming a self-directed IRA custodian has analyzed or validated an investment, when in fact they have not.
- EB-5 investment-for-visa schemes: The EB-5 program grants visas to foreign nationals who invest $500,000 into a new commercial venture. Promoters often mislead investors into believing these ventures are safe, when they are actually very risky.
- Persistent threats on the top-10 list are:
- Gold and precious metals: An unsolicited email or phone call suggests the promoter will hold the gold or silver in safekeeping for the investor, when in fact the metal doesn't even exist.
- Risky oil and gas drilling programs: Investments in oil and gas drilling programs are typically very risky, but promoters will use high-pressure sales tactics to conceal these risks.
- Promissory notes: Often the favored investment vehicle for Ponzi schemes, they are highly speculative and come with overstated promises of return and security.
- Real estate investment schemes: Schemes related to the buying, renovating, flipping or pooling of distressed properties are popular with con artists.
- Regulation D Rule 506 private offerings: These are the most common products that lead to investigations. They are highly illiquid, generally lack transparency and have little regulatory oversight.
- Unlicensed salesman giving liquidation recommendations: Insurance agents who lack the proper securities license advise investors to sell securities to fund the purchase of annuities. This is a common complaint.

Embedded Media Field a Media Essential
Embedded Media Field has grown exponentially in the last year since I've begun developing it. From its humble beginnings as a brainstorming session at DrupalCampNYC last spring, it has grown from a quirky method of make embedding YouTube videos easier for editors to a full-featured suite of modules allowing for drag-and-drop placement of third party videos, images, and audio clips.
Used on a wide range of sites, such as Air America, NRDC, and Drupal Dojo, the module is a flexible and powerful solution for embedding multimedia.
The Weaknesses
The first weakness would be documentation. Though it is simple to use, as it integrates automatically with CCK and Views, based on the occasional support requests in its issue queue, documentation could be a little more filled out. However, several people have begun writing tutorials and recipes for using it, such as Sean Effel's excellent Feed API + Emfield video tutorial, and another video tutorial in Portuguese.
Next is its complexity. It tries to do a lot, and grew organically with differing goals, so that some parts branch out in ways that I would code differently if I were to start over. Additionally, the code documentation is sparse (although I have begun addressing that with the Drupal 6 port). All of this, combined with the significant changes to CCK and Views, has made the Drupal 6 port take longer than originally planned.
The Strengths
The strengths of the module, I believe, more than make up for its weaknesses, especially as these are as well in progress. The first is ease of use. An editor can literally drag and drop a video thumbnail to a node field to embed that video in their content. Configuration is sometimes a bit tricky, but the module works fine even out of the box.
Next is its extensibility. Well over a dozen providers, ranging from YouTube to Blip.TV to Flickr to Odeo are supported, and adding a new provider is generally a simple process for a developer. Unless a particular API is difficult to use, I can add basic support for a provider in less than an hour.
Additionally, several contributed modules, particularly Media Mover and Feed API, hook easily into its API, allowing for some powerful media solutions.
In all, I consider this module a necessity for most sites that I develop now, or at least any that wish video support. The growth of distributed video on the Internet has been phenomenal over the past year, and enabled with Embedded Media Field, Drupal has been able to meet the challenge.
And thanks go out to Fred Gooltz (for the initial idea), Sam Tresler (for help with the initial code), Alex Urevick-Ackelsberg (for helping to maintain it), and all the excellent people working on the issue queue! This is truly a collaborative effort.

Aaron, it's pure coincidence that I looked you up today. I wanted to know if the jQuery Media you are maintaining will port up to Drupal 6 any time soon. I'm planning my next screencast and the Filefield + jQ Media recipe looked like a good topic. Its also a solution that is very close to my heart in a certain public access television implementation I'm working on. What do you think, should I put off the screenie until it ports up or just go ahead?
Yes, this is a great module, and thank you!
For me, the real value hit home with Sean Effel's video that you referenced above. I've used the emfield module, along with FeedAPI and Yahoo! Pipes to build totally automated aggregation sites that are far more exciting than what you can get with an RSS reader. For example, check out the Zivtech inspired Wall of Cello Videos. That's nearly 400 videos on one page, and that's what's been aggregated in the last week. This is like crack for cellists ;-) So please, keep up the good work. This module is definitely on my I <3 list.
The Society for Venturism has chosen me as the recipient of its charity for this year, to hopefully offer me cryonic preservation when the time comes. And this month, Longecity, an excellent forum for the discussion of issues related to extending the lifespan of humans, has offered up a matching grant of up to a thousand dollars to help out! So help out! Please.

For Immediate Release
March 18, 2010
Students celebrate big dreams during the 28th Annual Arts Education Week
Poster contest winners honored at Governor's Mansion in Springfield
SPRINGFIELD — Student winners of the statewide arts education poster contest will be honored at 1 p.m. Thursday at the Governor's Mansion, a highlight of the 28th annual Illinois Arts Education Week that runs March 15 through the 21st and celebrates the importance of the fine arts. Students across the state competed to create posters reflective of this year's theme, "Dream Big through the Arts."
"Art education plays a vital role in the development of our students," said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch. "Whether they're mastering musical notes, arranging dance steps or painting on canvas, they're accessing their creative talents while increasing skills and confidence. We congratulate these winners as well as their teachers and parents for celebrating the arts."
Illinois Arts Education Week 2010 is sponsored by the Illinois State Board of Education in conjunction with the Illinois Alliance for Arts Education and the Governor's Office. The IAAE is a member of the Kennedy Center Alliance for Arts Education Network, receiving support, award recognition programs and professional development opportunities. ISBE is also a partner with the Illinois Arts Council.
Victoria Tu, a sixth grader at Wood Oaks Junior High School in Northbrook ESD 27, was chosen as the winner of the statewide poster contest celebrating the 2010 Illinois Arts Education Week. Victoria's entry features a watercolor painting of an iPod with an art easel as the most prominent application choice among other symbols of the fine arts.
"Just like there are many choices for applications on the iPod, there are many choices available in the arts, such as dance, drama, music and visual arts," Victoria said. "By experiencing the arts, we can expand our knowledge and horizons beyond the solar system."
St. John the Evangelist Catholic School in Streamwood earned the Featured School award, which recognizes an art instructor and students for a strong group of poster entries.
We're thrilled with the response to this year's contest, a sign that teachers, parents and students continue to encourage the arts, even in these tough economic times," said Becky Blaine, IAAE President and Art Teacher at St. Charles East High School. "We all know the benefits of participating in a fine arts program lasts a lifetime."
Posters can be requested by contacting the Illinois State Board of Education's Curriculum and Instruction division at (217) 557-7323; firstname.lastname@example.com; or via mail at 100 N. First St., Springfield, IL 62777-0001. The back of the poster contains references to the Illinois Learning Goals and Standards for the Fine Arts, upcoming art events for 2010, Internet resources and more.

Bara Brith on the Pampas: The Welsh in Patagonia
In 1865, a Welsh speaking colony was established in the valley of the Chubut River in Patagonia Argentina. The original emigrants sailed from Liverpool on the Mimosa and they were joined in the 1880s by a second wave of emigrants and a further colony was established in the foothills of the Andes. Although measures were later taken to remove some of the colonists to Canada and South Africa, most of the settlers and their descendants remained in Argentina. The National Archives holds a vast amount of material relating to this relatively unknown but fascinating episode in British history. This talk looks at the main records relating to the history and development of the settlement from the earliest days to modern times, and examines why the Welsh travelled to Patagonia, what they encountered when they got there, and how the colony developed over the years.

Springfield, Ill. -The Illinois State Board of Education
has finalized the first phase of plans to streamline its
agency operations. The plan will reduce agency costs by
an estimated $2.6 million in FY 2005 and $3.8 million
in FY 2006. Interim State Superintendent Randy Dunn presented
the plan to the nine-member State Board of Education at
its monthly meeting today. The plan refocuses the agency
on its core mission of helping schools, teachers and students.
"The Governor put our team in place to make the
best decisions for schools and for kids," said Dunn.
"To do that, we knew we had to find ways to streamline
the agency and get more money going directly to schools.
It's the right thing to do."
The cost savings began with the new leadership's appointment.
The new team's executive management salaries are lower
than the previous team, projected to save at least $100,000
annually. Dunn immediately looked for other ways to reduce
management costs. He found a way to significantly reduce
the agency's lease costs by downsizing and relocating
executive offices, which include a private full bathroom
in the Superintendent's suite, from the fourth floor to
available space on other floors. Potential lease savings
could exceed $300,000 annually. In addition, the first
phase calls for the elimination of one position each in
the Governmental Relations Division and the General Counsel's
The plan also identified areas where the agency was incurring
costs for unwarranted services. In some instances, good
use of technology has helped reduce costs. For example,
electronic document transmission and Internet access to
agency publications has lowered high volume printing demands
by 75 percent, eliminating the need for a full-service
printing operation.
"We are no longer an island unto ourselves. At the
end of the day, having an in-house print shop and full-service
television studio doesn't help us serve schools,"
said Dunn. "They're luxuries we can no longer justify.
Instead, we need to direct as much money as we can to
After examining all agency operations, the Superintendent
identified a number of ways to reduce operational costs,
without affecting core services to schools. The plan's
operational cuts include:
The FY 2005 $2.6 million savings is available immediately
to the Governor and the General Assembly for reallocation.
Realizing the management salary savings will require General
Assembly approval to transfer funds. The State Board will
continue to find ways to reduce agency costs, making more
funds available to local school districts.

A bipartisan group of 15 Hawaii representatives is advocating for a constitutional amendment defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
If passed, the amendment would be placed on the ballot during the November 2014 election.
Sen. Mike Gabbard, a Democrat, is proposing a similar bill in the Senate.
A bill to legalize same-sex marriage was also introduced in the House on Thursday. Rep. Faye Hanohano, a Democrat, is the bill's sole sponsor.
Gabbard says that a ballot initiative would be the most democratic way to resolve the issue.
Gabbard is a former Republican who campaigned against promoting homosexuality in the 1990s. He pushed for a constitutional amendment giving the state Legislature the power to limit marriage to a man and a woman. The amendment passed in 1998.

New Mexico State Police Lt. Gary Ross, left, and Curry County Deputy Larry Garrison investigate the scene of a fatal vehicle crash Thursday at the intersection of Wilhite Road and County Road G. (Staff photo: Eric Kluth)
By Andy Jackson: CNJ staff writer
A Clovis High School junior was killed Thursday in a two-vehicle accident at the intersection of Wilhite Road and County Road G.
Cory Holcomb, 16, was pronounced dead at the scene, New Mexico State Police Officer Jeffrey Telles said.
Traveling east in a 1993 Nissan, Holcomb failed to stop at a stop sign on Wilhite Road, police said. His vehicle was hit broadside at about 3:30 p.m. by a pickup truck heading south on Curry Road G, according to a release from the New Mexico State police Department.
Holcomb's vehicle left the road and ran into a nearby fence, Telles said.
The driver of the pickup truck, Jose Campos, 33, and his wife and passenger, Rosa Campos, 36, of Muleshoe, were treated for minor injuries at Plains Regional Medical Center and released, Telles said.
No charges will be issued against Campos, said Telles.
Paul Clark, 14, lives on Wilhite Road near the scene of the accident. He said he heard a big bang, then checked the condition of the driver of the Nissan.
"I asked if he was OK and I saw that he wasn't breathing," Clark said.
Clark said he called police.
The driver of the pickup assisted the passenger out of the truck, and the female passenger was limping, Clark said.
Campos is a contracted worker for a local dairy, Telles said.
Clark watched the accident's aftermath with his step-grandfather, Stanley Brooks, owner of the home across the street from the crash site.
"This makes me feel nauseated, especially to find out one guy's dead. It doesn't matter who he is, it makes me feel worse," Brooks said.

Movie: Wonnarua People visit the Collection
In November 2009 people from the Wonnarua nation, around Singleton, New South Wales, came to the Australian Museum to view the Morrison Collection - which contains objects collected around the Hunter region at the turn of the 20th century.
This project has been supported by the Indigenous Culture Support Program, Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts.

- Presenter:
- Laurie Perry
Hello my name's Laurie Perry. I'm a Wonarrua person. My area where I come from is about an hour's drive from Newcastle geographically.
We're here today to talk about how we can put the Morrison Collection, which is a part of Wonarrua peoples' collection of material which comes from a very important place in the Hunter Valley, namely the St Clair Mission.
The St Clair Mission is important to the Wonarrua people, which is a belt of land that we own just on the outskirts of Singleton in Carrowbrook and the Morrison Collection is a very important collection to our people. There was actually an arch that was built in George Street in Singleton in the 1900s and we're here today to discuss and talk about that and actually put it on a website for all our members and wider public to see.
Seeing the objects today to me gave me a great sense of ownership. The collection to me is very important to our people. A part of it comes from the St Clair area and other parts are from other areas around Australia, but to me the collection signifies that there is a greater understanding between the aboriginal people, the traditional owners the Wonarrua people of the area.
This is my aunty Cath. One good thing to come out of this is that my aunty Cath, whose family are on that Mission as well, visited the place a couple of times when she was young and for her to be here with me at the moment is quite exciting.
Well at the moment the Wonarrua Nation Aboriginal Corporation - well we have actually developed the Reclamation Committee and also to look at getting our information back and putting it onto the website. We were also there to look at the language program that is inside of what we're trying to achieve and the language to us is very important. It's going to create a greater understanding, not just for our people, but for the wider community. We're looking at working in partnership with the Australian Museum and other funding bodies to reclaim our culture and heritage and our history.

The state's regulatory force to ensure workplace safety and health is fully staffed and ready to meet any challenges of an improving economy.
That's according to the Hawaii Occupational Safety and Health Division (HIOSH), a partnership of state and federal inspectors and consultants.
With hundreds of sites being developed, dozens of high rises on the books and thousands more workers at every location, the potential for danger is building.
Governor Abercrombie says the state is ready.
"We will match anything we do by the way of increasing the number of people working with the requisite OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) inspections and citations," Gov. Abercrombie said at a press conference Friday.
A partnership between the state's Department of Labor & Industrial Relations and OHSA has resulted in an increase in inspections.
Three years ago the less than 300 inspections were conducted annually. Today over 500 are conducted.
OSHA Assistant Secretary of Labor Dorothy Dougherty lauded the state's high national ranking in serious and compliance violations. The toughest challenge, though, is yet to come.
With the expected boost in construction and manufacturing, HIOSH is developing a detailed inspection strategy for all new construction. That includes the state's biggest public works project, rail transit.
"Rail is going to be a huge project and, given the nature of the construction work, we are concerned," said Dwight Takamine, Director of DLIR.
The project will be doubled teamed by HIOSH, the state-federal partnership, and a consulting team hired by HART to look into the technically complex safety issues of a project of this size.
"We assume they have the technical expertise to go in and do what they need to do for safety," said Diantha Goo, HIOSH Director.
This, in addition to yearly inspections by HIOSH.
Currently the state has 22 inspectors, the minimum required by federal law.
Next legislative session, the agency will be asking lawmakers to boost their staff and resources to accommodate the demands of a growing economy.
"So often the only news that gets out is bad news," said Gov. Abercrombie. "What they're saying is this is good news, taking place at a time of recovery."

Hunter Mahan shot a 1-under-par 71 Sunday to win the Houston Open by one stroke.
Mahan finished at 16-under 272 to edge Carl Pettersson and become the first multiple winner on the PGA Tour this year.
It was the fifth career tour victory for Mahan, who also won the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship last month.
Trailing third-round leader Louis Oosthuizen by two shots, Mahan had two birdies before his only slip-up - a bogey at the 14th hole.
He parred the final four holes to head into next week's Masters on a roll. Mahan had only two bogeys in the tournament.
Pettersson also carded a 71 to finish alone in second place, one shot ahead of Oosthuizen, who had a pair of double bogeys on the front nine and soared to a 75.
Phil Mickelson closed with a 71 to finished in a four-way tie for fourth place at 12-under. Keegan Bradley (71) also was at 12-under.

Homeowners in the Waseca area say their houses seem to be sinking, and they blame this year's drought.
Pat and Howard Edwards say they started noticing problems this spring -- doors and windows that wouldn't close properly and cracks in the walls and foundation. They had contractors return the structure to level footing, at a cost of $40,000.
Victor Barke owns Complete Basement Systems of Mankato. He says soil shrinks as it dries, and areas that don't have enough moisture-retaining clay to stabilize things can see houses begin to tilt. Contractors say the problem hit at least 20 homes in the Waseca area.
A Free Press of Mankato report says insurance rarely covers the repairs, which involve driving steel piers into the ground until they reach load-bearing soil.

Welcome to the Forum for InventorSpot.com, the most popular invention related website in the world. Read our welcome message.
5rocks wrote:The first season of AI offered the "winner" $1 million and 25% royalties on earnings. The million is only an advance. Once the product is on the market, the first million dollars goes to ABC. After that, the inventor gets 25% of profit, not earnings which is a big difference. A lot of this was not specifically spelled out until the top 50 inventors received the huge contract packet the night before flying out to Hollywood for the finals. Finalists 2 through 12 were to receive the same royalty payout as the winner Janusz, only if ABC decided to market their product. Also, ABC gets worldwide perpetual rights to your product for something like 7 years if they choose. I may be off a little on the time frame. So.......although the FAQ's say that at no time ABC owns the rights to your patent, they still have exclusive rights to the product's distribution. I hope this helps.

Father, son die in firePhoto by Len Emery
An early morning fire killed Russell Nutbrown, 90, and his son Barry Nutbrown, 57, at their home in Dummerston.
DUMMERSTON An early-morning fire has claimed the lives of an elderly father and his son, Vermont State Police said Monday.
State police said Russell Nutbrown, 90, and his son Barry Nutbrown, 57, had both died in the fire at 420 School House Road. Both father and son were well-known musicians, according to people who knew them.
The blue clapboard house, located near the intersection with the East-West Road in Dummerston, was a burned-out shell by the morning. The fire was reported shortly before 5 a.m.
The fire is being investigated by both the fire marshals office and the arson unit, said Vermont State Police Detective Lt. Todd Illingworth, who is based at the Rockingham barracks.
He said both units typically investigate a fatal fire and until the investigation was completed wouldnt rule out arson.
Both the father and the son were in the residence when the fire broke out, sometime around 5 a.m.
We will have to wait for the autopsy for cause of death, he said.
The Rev. Susanna Griefen, pastor of the Dummerston Center Congregational Church, said Russell Nutbrown was a fiddler in the Canadian tradition, and his son Barry played the guitar.
They were fabulous musicians, famous really, said Griefen, who added Barry Nutbrown played his guitar for church services, but his father had arthritis in his hands that had stopped him from performing in recent years.
The minister said Russell Nutbrown and his late wife had a daughter living in Vernon.
Russell Nutbrown, along with other musicians, was recorded on a 2003 album called Vermont: Kitchen Tunks and Parlor Songs, and the elder Nutbrown played Flowers of Edinburgh and Drum Tone.
West Dummerston Fire Chief Rich Loomen couldnt be reached for comment after the fire. Assisting in fighting the fire were Brattleboro, Putney, and Guilford.
Vermont State Police said the firefighters were able to contain the fire and keep it from spreading to neighboring homes.

June 16, 2011 —
I stopped in the Windy Dog Restaurant in Shohola one morning in late May when Mo, the cook there, showed me a huge moth that he spotted resting on one of the window screens. This moth had large eyespots on each wing, and each of the lime-green wings was lined with a maroon-red border. On each hind wing was a long tail. Mo had spotted a luna moth.
Luna moths, Actias luna (Linnaeus), are part of the Saturniidae, or silkworm family, though they don't make enough silk to be of interest to the textile industry. They are one of the largest moths in the area, with a wingspan of up to six inches. Named for the Roman moon goddess, they are only active during the night and rest during the day. They emerge as adults during late spring and live a brief 10 days or so while they reproduce.
Luna moths are hard to find during the day due to their nocturnal activity, but you may spot them resting on windows or walls near light sources during the day where they perched before daybreak. They are especially attracted by UV light, so "bug zappers" are good places to look during the day. If you spot one, behold and enjoy: this is the time for the "moon moth."

Egypt liberals, Islamists add pressure on MorsiAP PHOTO
Pro and anti-government protesters throw stones during clashes near Tahrir Square in Cairo, Egypt, on Wednesday.
CAIRO Egypts liberal opposition leader on Wednesday called for a broad national dialogue with the rival Islamist government, ultraconservative Salafis and the powerful military, aimed at ending the countrys eruption of political violence that has left more than 60 dead in the past week.
Mohamed ElBaradeis appeal for a dialogue and his inclusion of the military generals in the call appeared to be an attempt to build pressure on President Mohammed Morsi a day after the head of the armed forces warned that Egypt could collapse unless the countrys feuding political factions reconcile.
The warning by Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi was to both sides but was seen as an implicit criticism of Morsi, who has been unable to contain the unrest through an attempted firm hand. Morsis declaration of a month-long state of emergency and a curfew in three of the cities hardest hit by unrest has been overtly defied by the cities residents.
ElBaradeis call also comes as cracks began to appear among Morsis Islamist allies.
The ultraconservative Salafi al-Nour Party put forward its own initiative for resolving the crisis, and its leader held talks Wednesday with the rival liberal opposition National Salvation Front, headed by ElBaradei. The two agreed to push Morsi to create a national unity government effectively eroding the Muslim Brotherhoods grip on decision-making and commit to rewriting parts of the controversial constitution.
Al-Nour leader Younis Makhyoun told reporters after the meeting that Egypt must not be ruled by a single faction... but there must be a real partnership in decision-making and administration.
We are considered Islamists, and we are from the Islamic current but when we work for the sake of national reconciliation, we have to be neutral, he said. Egypt for all Egyptians.
The leader of the liberal Wafd Party, Sayyed Badawi, told reporters that al-Nour has presented a serious initiative with a clear agenda, so the Salvation Front welcomed it.
Morsi, however, dismissed talk of a unity government and downplayed the significance of the explosion of violence.
What is happening now in Egypt is natural in nations experiencing a shift to democracy, he told reporters during a brief visit to Germany on Wednesday. Nations take time to stabilize and in some countries that took many years. It has only been two years in Egypt and, God willing, things will stabilize soon.
He said parliamentary elections would be held in three or four months and that would in any case lead to formation of a new government. The unrest at home forced Morsi to truncate a planned visit to Europe, reducing his Berlin visit to a few hours to meet with Chancellor Angela Merkel and outright cancelling a Paris leg.
Meanwhile, two more protesters were killed Wednesday when they were hit with birdshot during clashes with police near Cairos Tahrir Square, a security official said, as violence continued for the seventh day. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the press.
Violence has spiraled after first erupting in Cairo on eve of last Fridays second anniversary of the uprising that toppled authoritarian president Hosni Mubarak. It since spread around the country, with the worst violence in the Suez Canal city of Port Said, which has virtually declared itself in revolt against Morsis government. Nile Delta provinces have also witnessed street clashes and riots in front of state institutions, but no deaths reported.
In response, Morsi declared a 30-day state of emergency and night curfew in Port Said and two other Canal cities, Suez and Ismailiya, and their surrounding provinces.
But every night since it went into effect, tens of thousands of residents in the city have defied the curfew with nighttime rallies and marches, chanting against Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood, which forms the backbone of his rule.
Faced with the anger, Morsi has made gestures of backing down from the declaration. On Tuesday he authorized governors of the three provinces to either cancel or limit curfew hours in an attempt to assuage public anger. Suez Governor Gen. Samer Aglan said that he will ease the curfew while deploying more troops to the streets after midnight.
Youth groups have called for mass rallies on Friday to march to the presidential palace in Cairo to demand an end to Morsis rule.
On Wednesday, security forces arrested five masked protesters suspected to belong to the Black Bloc, a group of protesters who wear masks and claim to defend the revolution against Islamists. The governments and state media have depicted them as dangerous thugs fueling violence against police and state institutions. Top prosecutor Talaat Abdullah ordered a day earlier that all members of the group be arrested on sight.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.
