Crashes kill three around state in 24-hour periodStaff Report | August 01,2013Over the course of a 24-hour period, accidents killed three people, including a part-time Northfield police officer, and injured two others.
Shortly before 6 a.m. Thursday, state police in Middlesex responded to a report of an ATV collision on Emery Road in Orange.
According to a news release issued Thursday morning, a preliminary investigation found that a 34-year-old Williamstown man and a 41-year-old Williamstown women were traveling west on Eastman Road on a Polaris ATV. The ATV traveled through the intersection of Emery Road, lost control and struck a tree.
Both passengers were thrown from the ATV. Neither person was wearing helmets. Both subjects were deceased at the scene. The collision was not witnessed and both subjects were found by a passing motorist.
State Police are withholding the name of the deceased until notification of family can be made. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact Trooper Darryl Cremo at 802-229-9191.
State Police continue to investigate the collision. Speed does not appear to be a factor, however. The man and woman were transported to the Chief Medical Examiner's Office in Burlington where an autopsy will be performed.
Shortly before midnight on Wednesday, state police responded to a report of a motor vehicle collision on Interstate 89 in Waterbury.
According to a news release issued Thursday morning, a preliminary investigation found that Michael Zemanek, 22, of Barre, was traveling south on the interstate when he drifted off the left side of the roadway. The vehicle traveled through the median, across both northbound lanes of travel and collided with a section of guardrail along the east side of the interstate. The vehicle then traveled back across the median, across both south bound lanes of travel and came to rest along a section of guardrails along the west side of the roadway, police said.
Zemanek was transported to the Central Vermont Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. State police say Zemanek was a part-time police officer in Northfield and an Orange County Sheriff's deputy. He was off-duty at the time of the crase. State police say he was transported to the Chief Medical Examiner's Office in Burlington where an autopsy will be performed.
State Police continue to investigate the collision. Speed does not appear to be a factor. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact Trooper Crista Maurice at 802-229-9191.
And, finally, Wednesday evening, a vehicle versus motorcycle accident in on Peacham Road in Danville sent two people to the hospital.
Wayne Whitehill, 43, of Danville, was driving a 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara that was struck on the passenger side by Asa Smedley, 28, of Lyndonville, who was driving 2000 Honda motorcycle. Smedley and his passenger, Kattie Smedley, 29, of Lyndonville, sustained minor injures, and were take to Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital in St. Johnsbury.
According to police, Whitehill was turning into a driveway and failed to yield for Smedley and his passenger who were traveling north. Smedley's motorcycle collided with the passenger side of Whitehill's vehicle.
Subsequent investigation revealed that Whitehill was operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Whitehill was taken into custody and processed for DUI. Whitehill was issued a citation to appear in Caledonia Criminal Court on Aug. 19.
Smedley and his passenger were transported to the Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital and treated for minor injuries.

Vt. Olympians fuel next generationKevin OConnor / Staff Photo
Olympic cross-country skier Jessie Diggins (holding microphone) joins Vermont teammates Ida Sargent and Sophie Caldwell (respectively, fourth and sixth in line) during a Fast and Female girls empowerment program Sunday at Stratton Mountain School.
STRATTON When Vermont Olympic cross-country skiers Sophie Caldwell, Jessie Diggins and Ida Sargent train off-season, they usually jog up hills and down valleys. But for the first time Sunday, they tried running something else: An empowerment program to fuel the next generation of Green Mountain girls.
Six months after competing in the Winter Games in Sochi, the trio teamed up with 40 area youth for a Fast and Female series of body- and soul-building activities Sunday at Stratton Mountain School.
Sports give you the power to feel strong, make and work toward goals, and have patience, persistence, self-confidence and a sense of accomplishment that can spread to other areas of your life, said Diggins, a Minnesota native who now trains at Stratton.
Caldwell spoke of volunteering during the academic year for Girls on the Run of Vermont, a 10-week, 138-school, 700-coach empowerment program for some 3,000 third- through eighth-graders.
But what, Diggins wondered, can those students do in the summer? The 22-year-old decided to add the state to the growing number of sites in North America and Europe offering a Fast and Female event on the website www.fastandfemale.com.
Olympic gold medalist Chandra Crawford and her Canadian womens cross-country teammates held the first gathering in 2005 in hopes of spurring more girls ages 9 to 19 into sports. Little did they know that seemingly onetime local meeting would snowball into an international movement featuring elite-level athletes, noncompetitive fitness activities, inspirational speeches and healthy snacks.
The goal is to give girls a powerful and positive experience with sports and local role models to keep them active and build a foundation for success in life, Diggins said.
Caldwell, 24, of Peru spoke of the high of her sixth-place finish in the February Winter Games sprint final the best U.S. womens Olympic cross-country result ever.
My teammates were cheering me on, she said, and thats what motivated me.
That, and a little help from back home, one girl in the audience revealed. Caroline Tarmy, 8, of Putney told Caldwell how she watched live Internet coverage with the skiers 85-year-old grandfather, John, a 1952 Olympian who literally wrote the book on cross-country skiing with his trailblazing 1964 how-to guide.
He said, Sophie never stopped, she never gave up, she kept on going, Tarmy recalled.
Sargent, 26, of Orleans shared a different story: Im a professional skier, I started as soon as I could walk, and I went to the Olympics. But I used to hate skiing. I thought it was so boring.
Sargent credited her turnaround to fellow girls at the Northeast Kingdoms Craftsbury Outdoor Center and its Green Racing Project, and later to Caldwell and Diggins, which whom she attended the Sochi opening ceremony.
We locked arms because we didnt want to lose each other, Sargent said. We walked into the stadium to a wall of noise. The most special part was I was able to share it with my teammates.
Although all Vermont girls see plenty of snow, they dont all have the same opportunities as the Olympians, who currently are running, roller skiing, cycling, swimming and weightlifting.
Its always good to have options, Diggins said. Thats why I thought it would be great to have something in the summer to keep girls going.
Participants joined in teamwork and trust-building activities before talking and listening to the Olympians part of a 2014 U.S. team that included 14 Vermonters, a dozen of them women.
Its cool just to see the smiles on their faces, Diggins said of the next generation. Its one event on one day, but sometimes that can really change peoples outlook. When youre body feels good, everything is better.

Judge orders new sentencing for Tulloch, other killers
MANCHESTER, N.H. A man from Chelsea, Vt., who as a teenager was convicted in the stabbing deaths of a pair of Dartmouth College professors in 2001, is to have a new sentencing hearing.
A New Hampshire judge has ordered new hearings for Robert Tulloch and three other men who were convicted of murder in separate incidents while they were teenagers.
Television station WMUR reported that Judge Larry Smukler said the men should get new sentencing hearings due to a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that mandatory life sentences without parole for juveniles are unconstitutional.
Tulloch and James Parker, also from Chelsea, pleaded guilty to stabbing Half and Susanne Zantop to death on Jan. 27, 2001, after gaining entry to the couples Etna village home by posing as students conducting a survey. Susanne Zantop made lunch while the pair talked with Half Zantop. When Half Zantop turned to retrieve a phone number, Tulloch stabbed him with a military knife they had purchased online. When Susanne Zantop came to her husbands assistance, Parker told prosecutors, he slit her throat at Tullochs orders.
Parker, who was 16 at the time of the killings and agreed to testify against Tulloch, received 25 years to life in prison. Tulloch was 17 when the couple was killed.
The other men are Robert Dingman, who was 17 when he and his brother killed their parents.
Eduardo Lopez was convicted of killing a man during a robbery attempt in 1993.
And Michael Soto was convicted as an accomplice to first-degree murder in 2007.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

Confusion in Egypt over end of state of emergencyAP Photo
A supporter of Egypts ousted President Mohammed Morsi raises his poster and her hand with four raised fingers, a symbol for Morsi supporters, during a protest in Cairo last Friday.
CAIRO A court declared that Egypts 3-month-old state of emergency expired Tuesday, two days earlier than expected, throwing the government and security agencies into confusion amid worries that its lifting could add new fire to protests by supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi.
Morsi, meanwhile, held his first extensive meeting with lawyers in a prison near the Mediterranean city of Alexandria. He had been held in secret military detention with almost no contact with the outside world since he was ousted in a July 3 popularly backed coup, but he was moved to a regular prison last week after the first session of his trial on charges of inciting murder.
Morsi handed the lawyers, from the Muslim Brotherhood and its allies, a statement addressing the Egyptian people and all parties to be announced by the lawyers on Wednesday, Morsis son Osama, a lawyer who was among those who met him, told The Associated Press.
He said his father is still refusing to allow any lawyer to represent him in the trial because he insists he remains president and does not recognize the tribunal.
The state of emergency and a nighttime curfew imposed along with it have been aimed at helping authorities tighten their security grip and control on near-daily protests that frequently descended into violence by pro-Morsi supporters and his Muslim Brotherhood demanding his reinstatement and the reversal of what they call an illegal coup against democracy.
On Monday, Interior Minister Mahmoud Ibrahim, who heads the security forces, said the state of emergency would expire on Thursday and that security reinforcements would deploy in the streets at that time a sign of the worries over intensified protests.
The surprise ruling by the Cairo Administrative Court ordering the lifting Tuesday appeared to have caught the government off guard and authorities said they were not immediately implementing it until the court formally notifies them of the decision.
The confusion came because the state of emergency was initially announced for a month on Aug. 14. But the government renewed it for another two months on Sept. 12. The court said that means it ends on Nov. 12, not Nov. 14.
The Cabinet put out a statement saying it will abide by the ruling, though it said it will wait for the details of the ruling to issue the verdict in writing. It was not clear what would happen if the court did not do so on Tuesday.
The spokesman of the military, Col. Ahmed Mohammed Ali, said the military has not been notified officially of any court ruling so far. In a statement, he said the curfew which begins at 1 a.m. will be implemented as planned unless the written ruling is issued.
The state news agency also cited an unidentified high ranking Interior Ministry official saying the ministry has not received the courts ruling. It said security forces have started deploying to secure the Egyptian street.
It was not clear how binding the ruling is. The court said its decision came in response to a lawsuit questioning legality of the state of emergency, and the court rejected the lawsuit saying that it has already expired. A senior judge in the court, Abdel-Maguid al-Mouqanan, told the state news agency that the ruling doesnt obligate the government to put an end to the state of emergency.MORE IN Wire NewsWASHINGTON Did anyone see it coming, the apparent new rapport between President Barack Obama...

8-12-11 Progressive Field
In my original schedule of games that I planned on attending, I had penned in five consecutive games in Cleveland this week, Tuesday through Saturday. However, with a new baby and new house, I was only able to make one game. I chose Friday, simply because the Twins have a bevy of left handed hitters, and the rest of the stadium opens at 5:30, thereby thinning out the crowd in right field a half hour earlier than during the week.
I had some issues on the way to Cleveland, as my car overheated (see the gauge up at the H?) and I had to stop and get coolant at a WalMart.
Therefore, I wasn't first in line, I was ninth. To make matters worse, at 4:30, when the gates were to open – the supervisor realized that he didn't have the scanners for the tickets. This caused a seven minute delay, meaning I would miss most of the Indians first, and best hitting group.
When the gates did open, the nine people in front of me (five of which had gloves) dilly-dallied getting batting practice T-Shirts – which are given away to the first 100 fans each day. This provided me an opportunity to run around them and be the first one to enter the seating area.
I immediately found two balls in the front row in right field. The first of which had a BP stamp on it.
While standing in line I overheard an Indians fan talking about the BP stamped balls and saying that they could be turned in for gift cards or something. After BP was over, I found THIS article with information about the BP balls, but it was pretty vague, so I'm still wondering what to do when the green stamped balls. Any help? Anyone?
There were a few people running around looking for baseballs, so I ran over to Heritage Park with another ballhawk on my tail and spotted ball #3 within reach just under the wall that separates the Heritage Park monuments from the trees. I reached in and grabbed it without having time to snap a picture.
I returned to the seats to play for home run balls, but not for long, as Travis Hafner blasted one into the trees in Heritage Park. I ran back over and used the Cleveland stick to snag that one.
When the first group wrapped things up around 4:45, I checked the bullpens for baseballs and noticed a real easy one in the visitors bullpen. I glove tricked that ball for ball #5,
and a few minutes later got Chris Perez to toss me ball #6 in center field.
I had only been there about twenty minutes to that point and had already snagged six baseballs. My goal coming into the game was nine, which would've given me 250 career balls at Progressive Field, but things slowed way down after that.
The Indians BP sucked the rest of the way, and the Twins had only really one decent group. It was their second group, which featured Justin Morneau, Jim Thome, and Jason Kubel. Those guys wore out the two sections closest to the visitors bullpen with baseballs.
Unfortunately, I was only able to snag one on the fly – a clean catch of a Thome home run for ball #7. I had a lot of close calls, so I headed over to left field for the last group, but failed to snag anything.
I also tried the dugout after batting practice, but all of the balls that were tossed into the crowds went to kids.
So, I went home – and a two hour and 15 minute trip ended up taking about three and a half? Why? Well, because my car overheated three times.
It's not supposed to look like that under the hood:
Coolant was spraying out somewhere, and I have an obvious radiator problem. The third time I stopped I basically broke down, as my car started clunking and smoking.
After letting it sit for awhile and adding more coolant and water to the radiator, I was able to make it home, but just barely.
I have an appointment to take my car into the shop on Monday, which means that I won't be able to make batting practice unless I can get a ride. So, are there any other ballhawks that would be interested in giving me a ride to/from batting practice? I'll pay you. $20. That's like a half tank of gas. Otherwise, plan B would be to bike 14 miles to PNC Park, which no doubt would suck. Plan C would be to take a bus, but the closest bus stop is a half hour walk away, and I've never, ever taken a public bus before.
Anyhow, here are today's baseballs:
Game: 7 balls (1 hit, 1 thrown, 2 device, 3 found)
Season: 339 balls (141 hit, 73 thrown, 80 device, 45 found)
Games: 64 games
Career: 1,461 balls
Attendance: 31,364

The BP stamped balls can be redeemed at the fan assistance booth for a BP gift card. I snagged one myself yesterday. I planned on going over to find out the value of the gift card, but I never did. I assume that its only like $10.
What is the cleveland stick?
By the way, the value of the BP gift card is $10. Here is the link: https://www.bpindiansbaseball.com/bp-batting-practice/
Nice blog, I stumbled on it b/c I am heading to PNC today for my first game there. I live in Cleveland and go to batting practice a few times a year. I got a BP stamped ball a month ago. It got me a $5 BP gift card at guest services. They cross out the BP stamp on your ball and give you the ball back and the BP card. I was a little disappointed it was only $5.

Four staff members of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) put in an appearance at the Tusten Town meeting on July 16, which, given that there are only six field agents in the entire state of New York, represents a significant dedication of resources to the matter.
The matter was eagles and fireworks. Sarah Nystrom, a bald and golden eagle coordinator for the FWS, explained that eagle nests are considered active from about January, when the adults start to prepare the nest, through August, when the chicks have fledged and left the area. She said even after the chicks have left the nest, they roost nearby for some weeks, and the nest is still considered active.
She and others from the FWS said the agency would be happy to work with the town to find a suitable location for a July 4th fireworks display next year, which was cancelled this year because of the proximity of the display to a nest on the Flats.
For the most part, the meeting was civil, though there were a few heated moments. Bruce Gettel, the member of the Lava Fire Company who was to be in charge of the display this year, accused FWS special agent Jason Bak of threatening him and the fireworks vendor with a hefty fine if the fireworks went forward.
Bak responded that there was no threat, and said he had explained that if the fireworks went forward, and an eagle was disturbed, injured or killed, and if that could be linked to the fireworks, then a fine would be assessed. In recreating their communications at one point Bak said to Gettel, "On Thursday [June 28] you told me, 'Well, have you been down here to see them lately, they tell me they're [the eagles] not here anymore,' and I said, 'Well, if that's the case I can come down,' and you were like, 'No, we just cancelled them,' and that was it."
William Anderson, FWS's agent in charge, said that if the fireworks had gone forward, and even if there was a dead eagle on the ground, if the two things could not be linked, there would be no fine or prosecution. He said the two incidents that were alleged to have happened in the past would not be investigated, because too much time had elapsed since they had allegedly taken place.
Council member Tony Ritter asked if The River Reporter inquired about this with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) in July 2011, why the agency did not know about this sooner. The response from three of the FWS staffers was that the agency often works with the DEC on matters relating to eagles, but they could not say why they had not been informed earlier about the situation by either the newspaper or the DEC.
The agency learned about the nest on June 12, and Bak expressed surprise that a different location could not be found. Nystrom said, going forward, USFW would need about 60 to 90 days to sign off on a new location for the fireworks.
Businessman Rick Lander, along with several others, said it might not be such an easy task to find a new location for the fireworks because there are now quite a few eagle nests along the river. Nystrom said if the town and the organization sponsoring the fireworks makes a good faith effort to work with the USFW, and something unexpected happens, such as an unknown nest is suddenly discovered near the display, and an eagle is inadvertently disturbed, injured or killed, there would be no fine.
There was quite a bit of discussion about whether any eagles were ever actually injured by the displays. Town clerk Kathy Michell, who is also a wildlife biologist and rehabilitator, recounted the story of an eagle named D34, who was blown out of the nest in June 2008. The bird was not injured, so a small VHF transmitter backpack was attached to her so her movements could be followed and she was replaced in the nest.
After the fireworks on July 5, D34 was found on the ground with a serious injury, and she would have died without assistance from rehabilitators. Michell said the injury was caused by "probably crashing very hard, like flying straight into a tree." D34 eventually recovered.
Michell said at the town meeting on May 11, 2009, there was discussion regarding the proximity of the fireworks to the nest, but it was determined that the display could not be moved to the previous location because the field had already been rented. Michell said the board informed a member of the Narrowsburg Fire Department that the fireworks should be moved in the future.
Upon the suggestion of Ritter and with the board's consensus, a firework-event committee will be formed with members of the town board, Narrowsburg Fire Department, Lava Fire Department and the Narrowsburg Chamber of Commerce. Michell offered to assist with researching the proximity of eagles nests to any suggested site. Ritter will send a letter of invitation to the involved organizations

Senate rejects Governor's nominees for LBJ board
The Senate yesterday rejected Gov. Togiola Tulafono's nominations of Fa'amausili Mau Mau, Jr. and Gaea Failautusi Perefoti as two new board members for the American Samoa Medical Center Authority.
In a vote by secret ballot, in accordance with local law, Fa'amausili received 7 yea and 5 nay votes; while Gaea got 5 yea and 8 nay votes. Only the Senate is required to confirm board members for the hospital, and each nominee needed at least 10 affirmative votes to win the seat.
The governor now has the option of resubmitting their names during the next session, or else submitting new nominees.
Fa'amausili, a former senator and currently manager of the Office of Motor Vehicles, was to replace the seat left vacant following the passing last year of Tufele Lia. Gaea, a former ASG Treasurer and currently ASG Internal Auditor, replaces the seat held by Charles Warren— currently residing in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Other board members are chairman Moananau Va and Commerce Department deputy director Lelei Peau. Dr. Fred Uhrle Jr. currently serves as medical advisor to the board in a non-voting capacity.
The Senate vote during the regular session came after the Senate Health and Hospital Committee held a one-hour confirmation hearing earlier in the day where the nominees responded to a number of questions from senators.
One of the questions asked was the opinion of the nominee on the governor's proposal to transfer the hospital to the Executive Branch under the Department of Health, to which Gaea replied that he believes the board should be firmed up first and then make necessary recommendations to the governor, who is very concerned with the financial condition of LBJ.
Fa'amausili said he would need to review the matter first but he also believes that maybe the hospital should be on its own. A couple of senators were very happy with this reply from the nominee, who had also served in the Department of Public Safety for many years prior to being in the senate.
Sen. Fuata Dr. Tagiilima Iatala asked Gaea for his opinion— as a former Treasurer— if one of the reasons the hospital is faced with its current financial woes was due to ASG's failure to pay in full the required annual subsidies. (LBJ officials had publicly stated that the government didn't pay close to $3 million in subsidies for FY 2011).
Gaea replied, "Maybe that's one of the weaknesses" but was quick to point out that ASG also needs to cover its expenditures. However, he agreed that subsidies needed to be paid.
Fa'amausili was asked for his opinion of LBJ's current action of closing outpatient clinics on Fridays, to which he replied that he disagrees with such an action, adding that all hospital services should be available to the public.
Closing clinics on Fridays is one of the hospital's cost saving measures implemented last month, along with the reduction in working hours for certain staff members.
An issue raised by Fuata, who works on-call part-time for the hospital, is that neither of the two nominees are physicians, nor do they have any medical background. He also said that none of the current board members have medical backgrounds.
Gaea responded that he needs to review the by-laws of the board of directors.
Local law (ASCA 13.0103) states in part that the Board of Directors shall be constituted as follows:
• two members with extensive financial or business management experience;
• one member who is an active or retired Medical Doctor;
• one member who has extensive health care administration, or public administration experience; and
• one member at large.
Additionally, no more than two directors may have their primary residence outside of American Samoa and no director may serve while also employed by the Medical Center.
According to the governor's nomination letter last month, Fa'amausili will fill the "member-at-large" post while Gaea is one of the individuals with financial experience.

WikipediaRead full entry
Avicennia is a genus of flowering plants currently placed in the bear's breeches family, Acanthaceae. It contains mangrove trees, which occur in the intertidal zones of estuarine areas and are characterized by aerial roots. It is commonly known as api api which in the Malay language means "fires", a reference to the fact that fireflies often congregate on these trees.[2] Species of Avicennia occur worldwide south of the Tropic of Cancer.
The taxonomic placement of Avicennia is contentious. In some classifications it has been placed in the family Verbenaceae, but more recently has been placed by some botanists in the monogeneric family Avicenniaceae. Recent phylogenetic studies have suggested that Avicennia is derived from within Acanthaceae, and the genus is included in that family in the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group system.
Designation of species is made difficult by the great variations in form of Avicennia marina. Between eight and ten species are usually recognised, with Avicennia marina further divided into a number of subspecies.
The generic name honours Persian physician Avicenna (980-1037).[3]
Members of the genus are among the most salt tolerant mangroves and are often the first to colonise new deposits of sediment. The sap is salty and excess salt is secreted through the leaves. The spreading root system provides stability in shifting substrates. There are vertical roots called pneumatophores projecting from the mud. These are used in gas exchange as there is very little oxygen available in the mud. The flowers are fragrant and rich in nectar and are pollinated by insects. The embryos exhibit cryptovivipary, a process where they start to develop before the seed is shed but do not break through the outside of the fruit capsule.[4]
Selected species[edit]
- Avicennia africana P.Beauv.
- Avicennia alba Blume
- Avicennia bicolor Standl.
- Avicennia eucalyptifolia (Valeton) Moldenke
- Avicennia germinans (L.) L. — Black Mangrove

I had my beautiful daughter (addison paige) December 9th, 2008.
Lets just say I was not informed that well on breastfeeding.
In the hospital, my LC did not give me any answers, or even clue me in on what to do! So when I got home after a 2 day stay at the hospital, my nipples were cracked, bleeding, blistered and very sore! I breastfed the first 3-4 weeks (painfully) I cried everytime and my nipples never healed.
Finally I gave up...
I started exclusively pumping, and did that until she was 3 months old.
I went back to work when she was 5 weeks old, and I started pumping less and less. And at 3.5 months she was put on formula, and I pumped once a day MAYBE. However, I am done working and only attending school 2 days/week
Well she is not 5 months old and thriving, but I want to breastfeed again. First I have to get my supply up, I am pumping every 2 hours, and also every 2 hours trying to put my daughter at my breast to see if she will even use my breast as a pacifier.
Well, she won't. She screams, kicks, and cries.
I am going out today to get a nipple shield, hopefully this works.
Here's my question, since I am a young (20) first time mommy, who is desperate to begin EXCLUSIVELY BREASTFEEDING my little girl, have you ever experienced this? Not breastfed for a long time, and been able to get your little one to the breast? Also, what was your experience with a nipple shield?
Thanks so much!
Mommy to Addison Paige (12/9/2008)

This month, the United States, Mexico, and Canada celebrate the 20th anniversary of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and according to news sources from the Economist to NPR, there is reason to celebrate.
Enabling international supply chains
Consider the following definition from the APICS Operations Management Body of Knowledge Framework: "A [Free Trade Zone (FTZ)] … is an area considered outside of the host country's territory but supervised by its customs department. Material may be brought in to the FTZ without paying import duty taxes and assembled or manufactured into a finished product. Duties and taxes are then paid when the finished good is moved outside the FTZ for retail sale."
While there's no doubt that trade agreements and trade zones can boost business, they complicate supply chains. Business leaders rely on supply chain professionals to identify and overcome any difficulties; thus, enabling success. Are you ready to lead your company's supply chain efforts, even as they become increasingly complex? APICS can help. Consider earning the APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) designation, the most widely recognized credential for supply chain and operations management professionals in the world. By earning your CSCP, you demonstrate a mastery of supply chain management best practices and specialized, high-level knowledge and skills.
I encourage you to take the next step in your career, preparing your employer and yourself for the future of business supply chains.

Calling All Ghosts from Championships Past…
It's a different team now…
Mark J. Terrill/AP
So says Derek Jeter when asked to compare the 2009 Yankees to the 2004 team that lost the ALCS to the Boston Red Sox. Yankee confidence seems to be very high based on the comments that I've read by a number of players. Of course, the confidence on the other side is equally high despite the 3-2 series advantage for the Yanks. Torii Hunter, in particular, intends to "shock the world". Nevertheless, tonight's game should be a classic regardless of the outcome.
I have felt all along that this series would go the full seven games. There is a reason that the Angels are one of the best teams in the American League and they certainly showed it in their elimination of the Boston Red Sox in quick order. Hi Julia, how are you doing? 😉
Elise Amendola/AP
There seems to be significant criticism of manager Joe Girardi and his pitching decisions late in games. Some have even called for his head if the Yankees lose the ALCS. While I do not agree with the decision to use the ineffective Damaso Marte to relieve A.J. Burnett in Game 5 or some of the other moves involving Alfredo Aceves or even why Burnett was even brought back into the game after the Yankees dropped 6 runs on the Angels the other night, I am not ready to say that he should lose his job if he doesn't advance to or win the World Series.
I still remember 1980 when the Yankees fired the late Dick Howser after he had won 103 games in the regular season but lost the ALCS to the Kansas City Royals. That was one of the worst decisions of the George Steinbrenner era, and Howser went on to enjoy a highly successful managerial career with the Royals before his untimely demise. I do not expect Hal Steinbrenner to follow his father's decision-making pattern, and I am convinced that Joe will be the manager of the 2010 Yankees.
I think the decision to leave Eric Hinske off the ALCS roster was a mistake. The team opted for the speed of Freddy Guzman, but I think a pinch hit appearance by Hinske in the 9th inning of Game 5 with the bases loaded could have yielded a different outcome than allowing the ice cold Nick Swisher to hit (or lack thereof!).
If the team is able to advance to the World Series, I am hopeful that they'll add Hinske for some pop off the bench.
Kathy Willens/AP
It's crazy to think that Pedro Martinez will be a potential Game 3 starter in the World Series for the defending champion Phillies. Of course, the staff is led by Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels, and includes the impressive young J.A. Happ. But Martinez has revitalized his career and is now in position to significantly contribute for another championship.
I was surprised it took so long for anyone to sign Martinez this year, but the Phillies did a great job in solidifying both the front and back ends of the rotation with the acquisitions of Martinez and ace Cliff Lee. At the time, I thought that Martinez would have made a great #5 starter for the Yanks but they were never players for his services.
So, should the Yankees advance, they'll be facing a former foe who was one of those players responsible for the end of the Curse in Boston. If the Angels advance to the Series, I'll root for Martinez…despite the past history…and the Phillies.
Harry How/Getty Images
The Yankees should have ended the ALCS in Anaheim, but of course, the celebration would have been muted. So, maybe it was meant to be for the series to return to the Bronx. We're home…we're ready…and it's time to succeed! Let's Go Yankees!
Richard Perry/NY Times

You can't take anything for granted against the Angels, even Games 6 and/or 7 at home.
"If the Angels advance to the Series…." Ssshhhh! Don't even think it! Andy will carry us to victory and be the old reliable pitcher he's been, and the Yanks will be celebrating. I can picture it perfectly. Now it just needs to happen!
Why I am doing just fine! How sweet of you to be concerned!😉 If they can get tonight's game in, I agree that it is a critical one – if the Angels win game 6, game 7 will be very, very interesting. I too was surprised that Hinske was left off of the ALCS roster. Imagine if the Yankees had him as an option in game 5? And Pedro? I still find it strange to see a player I associate so much with the Red Sox wearing another team's uniform. (Like seeing Carlton Fisk in a White Sox uniform….sigh..) I would love to see him get a shot at pitching again in the World Series! And if he is pitching against the Yankees? Sorry my friend – I will be hoping for better results then in game 2 of the 2004 ALCS!!
Have a great evening!
Congrats Scott! Fans like you have waited a long time! And I will have to agree with you – I wish our teams had faced off in the ALCS. Good luck – and rest up before Wednesday!;-)

We know things like tsunamis, wildfires, coups, and volcanoes wreak havoc on the world's supply chains. However, a recent American Productivity and Quality Center (APQC) study highlighted on the HBR Blog Network revealed three quarters of almost 200 large companies surveyed faced an unexpected supply chain disruption in the last 24 months.
"Survey responders (mostly supply chain risk operators) said things got so bad that C-suite executives had to get involved in the fix-it process for a sustained period of time," Mary Driscoll writes. What's going on? With all the hype about risk that is circulating among supply chain and operations management professionals, why are disruptions still taking such a large toll?
Driscoll points to the disconnect between the "talk and the walk." Organizational leaders are concerned about risk, but the business managers don't have the visibility or the resources to be successful. "It's likely that the push to protect profits during the recession made matters even more difficult for supply chain operators," Driscoll writes.
The APQC study identifies three major causes of increased risk related to supply chain strategy over the last five years:
Additionally, too often, chief executives concentrate on risks related to competitive strategy or the customer experience. Supply chain risks also are critical, and they should be addressed from a strategic level.
Driscoll writes, "the good news in all of this is that nearly half of the survey respondents said that their firms are now adding rigor to the process of assessing supply chain resiliency."
Questions for discussion
Has your company experienced a supply chain disruption in the past two years? If so, what are some ways you could have helped mitigate the effects of the disruption?
Is your company demonstrating any of the three major causes of increased risk highlighted by the APQC study? Are there any other ways your supply chain strategy might be creating risk?

Baby Shower Themes and Favors
Having a baby shower theme will help give any party cohesion and personality. Although coed showers will often determine and limit the possibilities of feminine baby shower themes, a bountiful amount of ideas are still available. Baby shower planners should not be afraid to combine a hodge-podge of ideas to create their own unique theme tailored to the fit the needs of their party.
Tips for a Themed Baby Shower
When planning a baby shower, be sure you purchase all the items at once to avoid a scattered or stratified theme. This will also avoid dilemmas such as items being sold out if you need to return and purchase them. To help alleviate the audacious goal of planning a theme, here are a few tips to help you get started:
The baby shower theme may also determine an appropriate place to host the shower while the cake and food should also reflect the theme.
Ideas for Baby Shower Themes
The following theme ideas can be for either a boy or girl themed party.
Baby Shower Favors
Baby shower favors are good keepsakes so guests can remember the shower, and can range from soaps, candies, or candles imprinted with the date, theme, and name of the mom-to-be. You can also visit your local craft store to make your own baby shower favors! Great ideas for homemade baby shower favors include: potting a small plant, baking homemade cookies, or making your own potpourri sachets.

2014 Recipient: Dr. James N. Walbert, Institute for Defense AnalysesPresented by: Mr. Jim O'Bryon, The O'Bryon Group
The Arthur Stein Award is presented biennially at the Live Fire Test & Evaluation Workshop in recognition of lifetime acheivement in support of Live Fire Test & Evalution.
Mr. Arthur Stein began his defense career during World War II, when he joined distinguished scientists and mathematicians from throughout the country to work at the Ballistics Research Laboratory in Aberdeen, Maryland. He had a long and distinguished career in the private sector, most of which was spent in Buffalo, New York, working for Calspan.
In semi-retirement, Mr. Stein worked as consultant for the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA). It was there that he became involved with the new Joint Live Fire program, the Army-conducted Bradley Live Fire Test, and later the congressionally mandated LFT&E program. During those early years of LFT&E, he had a great influence on IDA analysts and on OSD's Live Fire Test Office. He was a distinguished member of two blue-ribbon National Research Council panels to investigate LFT&E issues.
Mr. Stein was unusual not only for his distinguished career, but for staying intellectually young even until his death in 1995 at the age of 76. His work seemed to energize both him and those around him. He firmly believed in the importance of Live Fire Test & Evaluation, and wanted to pass on his interest and knowledge to the next generation.

- Be an incoming freshman or transfer student (can not have previously attended Utah State University)

How are the applications judged?
Each Alumni Chapter Scholarship Committee has their own judging structure. Most are not strictly based on grades and ACT/SAT scores. Extracurricular, leadership, and volunteer experience are also evaluated.
How are the scholarships awarded?
The scholarship applications are sent to their respective Alumni Chapter Scholarship Committee. The committee reviews the scholarships and send their recommendations to the Alumni Relations Office. Upon approval from the Alumni Relations and Recruitment Offices, the Alumni Relations Office sends the award letters to the recipients.
How many scholarship are awarded?
The number of scholarships awarded vary from year to year and depend on the amounts raised by the chapters. Typically about 35% of our scholarships are awarded to students who are non-residents of Utah, the remaining 65% of our scholarships are awarded to Utah residents. In 2008, 12 regional in-state chapters awarded a total of 50 scholarships and 8 out-of-state chapters awarded a total of 28 scholarships. The remaining 12 scholarships were awarded by the Aggie Emeriti Chapter and the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Foundation.
In addition to regional chapter scholarships, the Aggie Emeriti Chapter and Sigma Alpha Epsilon Foundation award scholarships.
The Aggie Emeriti Chapter awards scholarships to descendants of retired faculty/staff and to those scholarship applicants who do not live in an active Aggie chapter area. Applicants need to fill out the Alumni Legacy scholarship form and fill in the information regarding their parent or grandparent who retired from USU. The Alumni Relations Office will distribute the applications for those who do not live in an active Aggie chapter area.
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon Foundation awards scholarships to descendants of former fraternity members. A different application is required for this scholarship. Click here to find out more about the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Foundation and the scholarship offered.
How much are the scholarships?
They range from $500 to $1,000 for Utah residents and non-residents.
How do I get an application?
Online applications are available now. The deadline to apply for the 2013-2014 academic year is February 1, 2013.
How do I complete my application?
Applications must be completed online.
When will I be notified?
The Alumni Relations Office will begin sending award letters as soon as the Aggie chapters send their recommendations to their office. Letters are mailed around April 1. If any recipient declines the scholarship, the award will go to the next applicant on the list. The Alumni Relations Office will not send out letters stating the applicant has not received a scholarship until the re-award process is complete. This may take until mid-May.

Skip to comments.MSNBC Now Uses 4-Year-Old Daughter of Anchor To Push For Gay Marriage
Posted on 04/05/2013 5:03:15 PM PDT by servo1969
MSNBCs blatant promotion of gay marriage appears to have taken a bizarre and sad turn. Krystal Ball, co-host of The Cycle, has taken to using her four-year-old daughter Ella as a prop in a pro-same-sex marriage video.
In the 3-minute video, Ball asks her young daughter a series of questions about who she is allowed to marry, eventually asking her what happens if she loves another girl. Balls daughter, who is clearly taking cues from her mom, says that because she lives in New York she can marry another girl if she loves her.
Such blatant and disgusting use of political propaganda is a new low for the liberal MSNBC network. Ball, who along with the majority of the Lean Forward network, actively promote gay marriage on a daily basis, feels that using her daughter to peddle her liberal agenda is appropriate.
Liberal politicians frequently use children as props for a political agenda, but it should be considered beyond the pale for a news network to allow one of its anchors to do so.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsbusters.org ...
"That's horrible! What have they done to that poor little girl?"
"That's so mean to make her say that! She doesn't even know what she's saying!"
"That poor baby!"
"Someone call Child Services!"
But a little girl saying how great it is that lesbians and homos get to pretend they're husband and wife? Super-duper with a cherry on top!
Krystal Ball? A gypsy anchor baby? You can't make this crap up! Just another day in the American Freak Show!
Well, I'm surprised a 4 year old is able to bring her thoughts down to a level the MSNBC audience can understand,
Was that a broomstick factory they were in?
for liberals all kids are sex objects
Now ask her if it is OK if she could marry two boys.
Or three girls and a cat.
Or her mom.
When see goes "eeeewwwwww" just tell her it is all about love and why is she judging!
The when she starts to cry and say that all she wants is a normal family...
Just found out my son and DIL are taking my 9-year-old granddaughter to the gay pride parade in Phoenix this weekend. My son has joint custody with his ex and unfortunately both parents are pro gay marriage. Since I'm just a grandparent I have no rights. God forbid I tell my granddaughter how wrong the lifestyle is. All I can do is pray for her.
I wonder if Krystal has a brother by the name of Magic Eight?
I can understand how frustrated and helpless you feel, but I know that you know how powerful heartfelt, sincere prayer can be. God is never on the side of evil. I'm adding my prayers to yours, to protect her precious innocence.
Arrest the mother; have CYS take custody of the child.
Or: "Mommy, WHY is that man naked? And WHY does his peepee have 10 rings in it?"
"Daddy, YOU drink Miller beer, why does Miller sponsor this show?"
"Why is that man dressed like a lady?" etc.
Krystall will be so happy one day when she asks her daughter about grandchildren and daughter says, "Butch and I don't want no damned brats, we just love ourselves too much. See mom, I learned from you well".
To #9> Crystal Ball's brother's name is probably "No Balls", and they both like to dance, at "Transgender Balls".
I would charge this nutcase with child abuse.
I will pray that God will give them all eyes to see that this lifestyle leads to death. God does answer prayers in a big way,
This child is being abused, but this crap isn't just on MSNBC. Fox had troll Bernard Goldberg spewing 'civil right to gay marriage' garbage just recently. The media are all aboard the homosexual train.
With what this carpet muncher is teaching her daughter she more than likely will grow up to be a Dyke.
Wait until they see the guys dressed up in S&M leather gear kissing each other and whipping each other.
Link not safe for work
Storybooks about fantasy and adventures, rhymes, children songs, the Easter Bunny, Santa, God and Christ, friends her age, hopscotch, ice-cream, cupcakes, pretending to make cookies, going to the zoo are just some of so many other wondrous things a child that age should be thinking about, NOT HOMOSEXUAL PERVERSION.
This is sickening child abuse.
A four-year old would say that marriage between a Barbie doll and a puppy....ought to legit. Or that marriage between female mole and a male horse, should be legit. Eventually, you'd ask some stupid questions why journalists regard the opinion of a kid as important to it's viewers.
"Good answer, baby. You need to make mommy proud on national television....remember that little talk we had about post-birth abortion?"
"why journalists regard the opinion of a kid as important to its viewers."
This NSNBC 'journalist' show can now turn to their advertisers and say: "See, our viewers are dumb as a four year old and here's proof! And they have EBT cards! These are the people you want watching your ads!".
Their numbers of viewers are down, but they can charge more per viewer because they can show hard evidence like this to their advertisers that these viewers are prime suckers.
So MSNBC makes more money, and the 'journalists' make more money...
...And that's why they regard the opinion of a kid important.
From the same disgusting people who claimed Sarah Palin was using HER kids as props.
These people are perverted beyond belief. The modern day worshipers of Molech.
okay let's do something because a naive, exploited little 4 year old girl says we should. redefine marriage because of a little girl who/has no concept ofthe full issues here.

From Gentle Baby Care by Elizabeth Pantley
Babies are little bundles of energy! They don't want to lie still to have their diapers changed. They cry, fuss, or even crawl away. A simple issue can turn into a major tug-of-war between parent and baby.
Diaper changing as a ritual
The position of parent and baby during a diaper change is perfect for creating a bonding experience between you. You are leaning over your baby, and your face is at the perfect arms-length distance for engaging eye contact and communication. What's more, this golden opportunity presents itself many times during each day; no matter how busy you both get, you have a few moments of quiet connection. It's too valuable a ritual to treat it as simply maintenance.
Learning about your baby
Diapering offers a perfect opportunity for you to truly absorb your baby's cues and signals. You'll learn how his little body works, what tickles him, what causes those tiny goose bumps. As you lift, move, and touch your baby, your hands will learn the map of his body and what's normal for him. This is important because it will enable you to easily decipher any physical changes that need attention.
Developing trust
Regular diaper changes create rhythm in your baby's world and afford the sense that the world is safe and dependable. They are regular and consistent episodes in days that may not always be predictable. Your loving touches teach your baby that he is valued, and your gentle care teaches him that he is respected.
A learning experience for your baby
Your baby does a lot of learning during diaper changes. It's one of the few times that she actually sees her own body without clothes, when she can feel her complete movements without a wad of diaper between her legs. Diaper-off time is a great chance for her to stretch her limbs and learn how they move.
During changing time, your baby is also a captive audience to your voice, so she can focus on what you are saying and how you are saying it - an important component of her language learning process. Likewise, for a precious few minutes, you are her captive audience, so you can focus on what she's saying and how she is saying it - crucial to the growth of your relationship.
What your baby thinks and feels
Many active babies could not care less if their diapers are clean. They're too busy to concern themselves with such trivial issues. It may be important to you, but it's not a priority for your child.

At DMF we work hard to fulfill our mission through the programs we support.
by Ben Volin
Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland was impressed with the crowd that amassed at Sun Life Stadium on Saturday morning, but it had nothing to do with football.
More than 20,000 people showed up to support the Dan Marino Foundation's WalkAbout Autism event, the largest crowd in the event's three-year history. Ireland and Marino both have children afflicted with autism, and their WalkAbout has now raised more than $1.4 million in three years for Marino's foundation, which benefits autism organizations within Dade and Broward Counties.
"It's grown into something much larger than we ever expected," Ireland said Saturday morning. "We're trying to affect this community and bring awareness and raise money for the organizations that have really helped us."
