Town of Williamsburg
Rules and Regulations for
Establishments Licensed to
Serve Alcoholic Beverages and to
Allow Entertainment
The Williamsburg Board of Selectmen, also the Local Licensing Authority in the town, sets forth these rules and regulations with the goal of minimizing violations. It is our hope that these rules and regulations for liquor license holders are clear, easy to understand, and set the high standard for compliance. In familiarizing themselves with these regulations, license holders will realize much is expected of them but by complying with them, violations will be minimized. These rules and regulations are in addition to all that is required of license holders in all Massachusetts General Laws, specifically but not solely, Chapter 138 for alcohol permits and Chapter 140 Section 183A for entertainment. Each license holder is expected to be fully aware of those laws and to be in compliance.
Identification of the Town of Williamsburg Licensing Authority
The Local Licensing Authority for the Town of Williamsburg is the Williamsburg Board of Selectmen.
Licensed Premises
A license is issued for a specific premise and must be fully defined in the license. No service, sale, or consumption of alcoholic beverage may occur on any part of the premises not specified in the license.
Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages
Any alcoholic beverage sold by a premise with a license issued under M.G.L. Chapter 128 Section 12 must be opened and consumed on premises.
Closing Hours and regulations
1. The hours when service is allowed is clearly stated on all licenses.
2. Within 15 minutes after the last time for lawful service, all glasses, bottles or other containers used to serve alcoholic beverages, or containing the residue thereof, must be removed from the bar, tables or any other places where they may be consumed by any person present.
3. All beer bottles, glasses and other containers used to consume alcoholic beverages must be emptied into the bar sinks, or other such facility, within one half (1/2) hour after the last time of lawful service.
4. All licensed premises must have all patrons off the premises within one half (1/2) hour after the last time of lawful service. For example, if licensed until 1:00 AM, all patrons must be off premises by 1:30 AM.
5. All employees and/or management personnel must be off the licensed premises within one half (1/2) hour of last time for lawful service. Management and/or personnel may stay on licensed premises beyond the above time limits under the following conditions;
(a) If engaged in cleaning the establishment
(b) If making emergency repairs
(c) If preparing for the next day's orderly opening or closing the business in an orderly manner.
6. The Police Department must be notified if employees and/or management personnel are remaining past the time described above.
Display of License and Permits
All licenses and permits must be kept in public view in an accessible place on the premises, available at all times for inspection by the Board of Selectmen or its agent.
Availability of the Rules and Regulations
A copy of these Rules and Regulations shall be kept on the premises in the office or near the main cash register and be available upon request of the Board of Selectmen or its agent. The licensee is responsible for ensuring that all employees who work in the public areas of the premises read the Rules and Regulations of the Licensed Establishment and comply with all of the rules and regulations.
Entertainment is allowed only as specifically authorized by an entertainment license granted by the Board of Selectmen. M.G.L. Chapter 140 Section 183A dictates the information needed on all applications. All applications must be made to the Board of Selectmen in a timely manner and before any entertainment requested is performed. Approved licenses must be displayed as mentioned above.
Environs of the Licensed Premises
It shall be the obligation of the licensee to ensure that a high degree of supervision is exercised over the conduct of the licensed establishment at all times. This includes all outside areas of the building as well as the parking lot. Each licensee shall be accountable for all violations that are related to the licensed premises, in a determination as to whether or not the licensee acted properly in the given circumstances. Each license must include the appointment of a manager who shall share in all the responsibilities of the licensee.
Service Training
All licensees are strongly encouraged to have their employees undergo an employee training program on the proper procedures for verifying that patrons are at least 21 years of age and not intoxicated. Training programs and certification for such training is available through many sources, i.e., TIPS or equivalent.

Hearing officer recommends Yankee certificate
MONTPELIER A hearing officer for the Vermont Public Service Board has recommended that Entergy Nuclear receive a state certificate of public good for a new 3,000 kilowatt backup diesel generator for Vermont Yankee nuclear plant, which would provide emergency power in the event of a blackout.
Hearing Officer Lars Bang-Jensen said the project was of limited size and scope, and didnt raise any significant issues under Section 248, the state law that regulates electric generating facilities.
And the project will promote the general good of the state, Bang-Jensen concluded.
But Bang-Jensens recommendation is just that a recommendation, and it is unknown what the three-member board will do.
While we appreciate and agree with the hearing officers recommendation, we remain uncertain as to when the board will rule. Therefore we will have to determine how this may affect the federal court hearing scheduled for June 4, said Entergy Nuclear spokesman James Sinclair.
Entergy Nuclear filed suit against the Public Service Board last month, saying the state was delaying approval of what was a backup safety system.
Bang-Jensen said the diesel generator should be approved even while Entergy Nuclear was not in compliance with existing orders and certificates of public good and has not demonstrated that it is willing to comply with orders of the board.
I recognize the seriousness with which the board regards the deliberate failure by any company subject to the boards jurisdiction to comply with terms of board orders, CPGs and approved memoranda of understanding, and the boards particular concerns about Entergy VYs record of compliance with board orders, CPGs and prior commitments, he wrote.
The Public Service Board, while allowing Entergy Nuclear to continue operating Vermont Yankee since March 21, 2012, has noted that it is doing so without a state certificate of public good, a violation of a 2002 board order, which approved the sale of Vermont Yankee to Entergy.
I recommend that the board find that the project will promote the general good of the state and that it issue a CPG (certificate of public good) for the construction of the project, he wrote, in an order released late in the day Monday.
While Bang-Jensen made the recommendation, parties to the case have until May 28, to file comments.
Entergy has claimed it needs to know by June 11 whether the diesel generator is approved in order to have it ready for a Sept. 1 deadline set by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
In fact, there is a hearing slated for June 4 in U.S. District Court in Burlington on the diesel generator permit issue, with Entergy now claiming the diesel generator is a safety issue and thus should only be subject to federal oversight.
The whole new backup power supply was prompted in part by the nuclear disaster in Fukushima, and a decision by ISO-New England, the electric distribution system, that Vermont Yankees current backup source was no longer available.
Yankee has relied on the immediately adjacent Vernon hydroelection station, owned by TransCanada, for backup power in the event of a widespread power outage.
Yankee already has two backup diesel generators on the grounds, but the third generator would be dedicated to only station blackout issues.

Beating the Market With Charles Kirkpatrick
The market downturn of 2008 was a nightmare for many investors. On one end of the spectrum are the "buy and hold" investors who saw their portfolios battered by the broad-based decline in equities. On the opposite end are those who abandoned the equity market completely after taking large losses and who are still sitting on the sidelines. For those needing their money in the next five to seven years, such a move makes perfect sense. However, many investors have become paralyzed with fear and refuse to get back in the game. As a result, they will miss out on the market's eventual recovery.
Charles Kirkpatrick's book, "Beat the Market: Invest by Knowing What Stocks to Buy and What Stocks to Sell" (FT Press, 2008), seems to have been written exactly with this scenario in mind. Kirkpatrick believes that the stock market is still the best investment vehicle available, but also thinks it is impossible to predict the market, or the economy. He outlines stockpicking and portfolio management strategies that he believes individual investors can follow to outperform the market while reducing the risk of capital loss.
Kirkpatrick is president of Kirkpatrick & Co., Inc., which specializes in technical research, and he publishes the Kirkpatrick Market Strategist stock advisory newsletter. Kirkpatrick has been a director of the Market Technicians Association (MTA) and holds the Certified Market Technician (CMT) designation. He is also an instructor at the Fort Lewis College School of Business Administration and a two-time recipient of the Charles H. Dow Award from the MTA for excellence in technical research.

The Orioles Visit Red Sox Park at Nation Yards (6-5-10)
June is going to be a busy month for me and Tim. Ten games at seven stadiums. And it all kicked off on June 5, 2010 at Camden Yards. The Orioles would be visiting the home team Red Sox, or so it would seem.
At our last game at Camden Yards, we met MLBlogger Avi Miller (who has a new website and is pictured under the yellow arrow)…
…and we met up with him (and a couple other Camden Yards regulars) at the CF gate. Before we found Avi, Tim got his picture with Cal Ripkin, Jr.'s No. 8, Babe Ruth, and Brooks Robinson's No. 5. If you look back at this entry from last season, you'll see that the O's replaced/upgraded the number statues from last season — so maybe some good came of those hooligans stealing the Ripkin's 8 last season.
We chatted with Avi and the guys before the gates opened and then Avi got us into the main section of the stadium with the other season ticket holders while the rest of the people had to stay in CF and RF for the first half hour.
Thanks, Avi!
Aside from just having a great time and making good memories, my main goal of the day was to get Tim's picture with a Red Sox player. I was hoping for Adrian Beltre. So while everyone else ran to LF, we made our way around to the 3B dugout. On the way, this guy…
…flipped a stray baseball up to us.
Thanks, that guy!
The entire Red Sox team was stretching by the 3B dugout:
There are plenty of Red Sox that I don't know, but without checking the roster I can make out Dustin Pedroia, Mike Lowell, Kevin Youkilus, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Adrian Beltre, Mike Cameron and Bill Hall.
After the O's cleared off the field, the Red Sox scattered all over the place. Beltre and Youk played catch right next to Cameron and Hall:
I had forgotten that Cameron was on the BoSox. Talk about a good guy, people in Seattle can't get enough of Mike Cameron. I didn't envy him coming into Seattle as Griffey's replacement in 2000, but the guy pulled it off with flying colors. Over his 4 or so years in SeaTown, he was generally loved by all and it was sad to see him go.
When he saw us in our M's gear, it wasn't hard to flag him down and get this picture:
He asked if we were from Seattle (I think I said "yes" despite the fact I lived in PA the entire time he played for the Mariners) and I thank him for all that he did for the team. He was very nice. We parted ways with a hand shake.
My next goal was to see if we could flag down Daisuke Matsuzaka with a courteous "Sumimasen" like we did with Takashi Saito a couple weeks before in Pittsburgh…
…interestingly, Daisuke was totally unphased and didn't even bat an eye at our "Sumimasen, Daisuke-san"; however, Hideki Okajima kept looking over at us with a smile after we spoke to Daisuke. Unfortunately, I wasn't sure who he was at the time (I figured it out by zooming in on his glove and taking a picture of his name stitched on the side). Once I figured it out, Okajima was soon gone.
By the way, click on that last picture and check out Daisuke's crazy camo-patterned glove.
Although Daisuke didn't respond to us when we addressed him in Japanese, he soon came over and started signing autographs (lots and lots of autographs)…
After getting Daisuke's autograph there were about 20,000 (all Red Sox fans) in the stadium already for BP, so we decided to do something we've never done before: we toured the Camden Club at the top of the Warehouse.
We never knew you could get up there until Zack Hample told us about it at our last game at Camden Yards…he'd never known about it himself until Matt Hersl (who we met at the gate with Avi) told him about it that same day. Here is the view from the 8th floor bathroom (note the reflection of my jersey in the window):
Here, Tim checks out the view from the lobby on the seventh floor:
The Camden Club is a bar and restaurant that seems to be primarily on the 8th floor but also is on part of the 7th floor.
Here is the view from the lobby on the 7th floor:
Here is some art hanging in the 7th floor lobby…
…that picture on the right is painted on old Orioles baseball cards.
The view from the 8th floor lobby:
Here are some random pictures from inside the club:
Top left: 2131 sign and picture of Ripkin after breaking Lou Gehrig's streak. I'm wondering if these are the actual numbers that were unveiled on the Warehouse wall that famous night?
Top right: the pattern on the floor throughout the Camden Club.
Bottom left: a cartoon drawing of the plans for Camden Yards (I think).
Bottom right: picture of olden times Baltimore players (hanging on 8th floor) and doors with BCB logo (on 7th floor).
Here is the view from the far end of the Camden Club, right next to the kitchen (8th floor):
When we passed on the elevator and someone got out, Tim just had to go check this out on the second floor (and the elevator operator kindly let us do it):
Next, it was time to earn some points in the MyGameBalls.com photo scavenger hunt:
I said, "Tim, look cool." And this is what he came up with.
Next, it was time for some pregame bouncy house jumping followed by some hitting on the air tee…
…Tim hit a laser line drive straight through the "Grand Slam" hole at the middle top that got a couple of the parents waiting in line with their kids all fired up. Tim got a kick out of being cheered by strangers. He ran over and gave me a big jumping high five.
He was burning up (it was ridiculously hot and humid) so it was time to find some shade and eat some nachos:
Right before the game started, we headed to the 1B line to see if Tim could get his picture with a Oriole…
…in the bottom left you can see Tim getting rejected by Corey Patterson. He came over to sign a couple autographs. Tim was all set up on the wall. All Corey had to do was lean in after signing another kid's autograph. But he said, "Sorry, I can only sign a few autographs" and ran off. Bummer. Our "Tim with an Oriole" quest remains unfulfilled.
It was game time.
We headed out to the RF flag court. Tim was on my shoulders munching on peanuts and littering my head and shoulders with peanut debris. A couple fans came over to tell me I was covered in shells, just in case I hadn't noticed the monsoon of shells raining down from above.
I couldn't get a good action shot of Pedroia or Youkilus in the first…
…but I did get Youk pulling into second for his first double of the night.
The BoSox (and the O's) would go scoreless in the first, as well as the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth innings. I was a stellar pitchers dual between Jon Lester and Jeremy Guthrie for most of the game.
If you've read this blog before, you might have noticed the occassional comment from "Teemo" and my exchanges with him where I will sign as "Todd (PA)" and he will sign as "Todd (HI)." Todd lives in Hawaii with his wife, Grace, daughter, Jessica, and son, Timothy (or Teemo).
You got that? Todd (HI) has a son Tim (HI).
Anyway, I knew the Hawaiian Todd and Tim would be at this game — they were in the middle of a monster baseball roadtrip built around a wedding — but I had no clue what they looked like…so it was up to them to find us.
And they did. Here we are in the RF flag court:
Let me tell you, if you get a chance to hang with these dudes for a couple innings, definitely do it. They're pretty awesome.
They actually brought Tim a little gift bag with a U.H. Rainbows T-Shirt, U.H. Rainbows baseball (pictured at bottom), and some yummy Hawaiian goodies (I snuck a bite or two when Tim (PA) was looking the other way!).
We hung out with Todd (HI) and Tim (HI) from the bottom of the first until about the fifth inning…when we were all out of water and risked dehydration if we didn't go for a refill.
Before our water ran out, Todd (HI) and I had a great chat while Tim (PA) and Tim (HI) played baseball like crazy…
…first they played catch with a ball that Tim and I like to bring to games and then (after and usher told us the O's had been sued when someone played catch and got hit with a ball…so we had to stop) they played imaginary baseball (see bottom right with Tim (HI) pitching to Tim (PA)).
They had an absolute blast.
But as I said, we ran out of water and had to go for a re-fill. So we split up (they went and got some food and briefly visited their seats) and planned to meet up again later in the game.
We grabbed Tim an ice cream helmet…
…and grabbed some ice cream seats in the RF upper deck seats. They really are excellent seats up there. I always enjoy going up there.
Meanwhile, it was still a pitchers dual. In the top of the seventh YOUUUUUUUUUUK stepped to the plate and shortly thereafter stepped on the plate and returned to the dugout after his go-ahead homerun:
Guthrie escaped the inning without anymore damage.
Shortly after snapping this post-ICH picture…
…we headed back down to the RF flag court.
Check out this SRO crowd…
…it was at least four people deep across the flag court! Crazy business!
The O's loaded the bases in the bottom of the 7th, but Corey Patterson couldn't come through with the big hit — possibly karma for denying Tim's picture request? I guess we'll never know.
Soon, we met up with Todd (HI) and Tim (HI) again, and they were joined by younger sister Jessica. The Tims and Jessica had a blast and must have each burned at least 1,000 calories running all over the flag court. They played a lot of imaginary baseball, and I was quite happy with all of the pro-Griffey comments that Tim's T-shirt drew from the mostly-Boston based crowd.
In the ninth, we headed into the infield to see if the kids could get baseballs from the umpire (Victor Carapazza). During the top of the ninth, the Todds stood in the cross aisle (they just don't care what you do in Baltimore, its great) and the kids sat in the back row cheering like mad…
…they were the most indecisive cheerers ever. "GO RED SOX! WIN RED SOX! LOSE RED SOX! GO ORIOLES! GO ROBINS! (that's what Tim (PA) calls the O's) LOSE ROBINS! LOSE RED SOX! LOSE ROBINS! GO ROBINS!"
The Red Sox had added a run and led 2-0 after 8 innings.
Pedroia came to bat in the ninth and whiffed on this pitch…
…but then he connect for a foul ball that was heading right to me!!!! It was a looping pop up. I ran a couple feet to our right (toward RF). It was coming down fast and was going to land right at the back of the cross aisle. But 20 feet right above me, it clanked off of a advertisement that hang off of the second deck and bounced into the field level seats.
Ah!!! So close, but so far away.
Pedroia would eventually strike out. But YOOOOOOOOUUUUUUK would not. He hit another double (on this swing):
The damage was done. With Youk's double, the Red Sox had scored 6 runs in the top of the ninth to take a commanding 8-0 lead.
All that was left was three outs for the O's. For those outs, our view looked like this:
They must have been good seats because all the guys sitting in front of us were scouts:
The guy in the yellow shirt worked for the Marlins. I asked him what clubs the other two guys worked for and he responded, "other teams." Ah, other teams. Just as I had suspected.
This was our view of the dugouts:
And this is what the kids (and part of Todd (HI)'s face) looked like:
Yes, the were still having a blast.
And why not when your view of a MLB ball game looks like this?
The O's mounted a mini-come back…
….but they needed 8 runs and all they could muster were 2. The final score: 8-2 for the Red Sox.
Once the final out was recorded, the kids snugged up to the umpire tunnel in time to watch Carapazza go sailing by us without so much as a look. But then, after passing us, Carapazza turned around and pointed at Tim and called out, "For the little guy." Then, he chucked a baseball at us with gusto. I had to back hand it with my bare glove hand so it wouldn't smack Tim (PA) in the face.
Jessica and Tim (HI)? Denied by Carapazza.
No fun.
They had missed BP because they had a long drive in from Pittsburgh.
So, Tim (PA) decided to give his umpire ball to his new buddy Tim (HI) and the two Tims showed off their prizes for the camera:
We had an excellent time meeting and hanging out with our new Hawaiian friends. Once we met up with Todd (HI)'s wife, Grace, we got a picture of the six of us:
Apparently, Tim (PA) thought his head was out of the shot, so we contorted to get closer to the group.
On our way out of the stadium, I had to take our new friends to see a historical landmark…
…the marker for Ken Griffey, Jr's mega-blast from July 12, 1993 — still the only ball to ever hit the Warehouse in the air.
Chalk this one up as another excellent night at the ballpark.
A big thank you to Todd (HI) and family for helping us record more excellent memories. We can't wait to cross paths again. And a big, huge thank you for the wonderful and thoughtful Hawaiian goody bag.

Great job Todd very fun night. Was there yesterday but unfortuanely snagged none…better luck for me next time…and enjoy your roadtrip…I'll follow it on twitter and cant wait to read your entries!
Nice entry as usual! Todd (HI) seems like a great guy. He recently left a comment on one of my entries that they almost came through here, but couldn't make it work. Oh well, as is the same with you, maybe next season right? Hope you guys tear it up in Cali! I don't "tweet" so I'll have to wait for your entries to see how your trip goes.
Hi Todd & Tim (PA)
Our family had a great time meeting you last weekend. Both Timothy & Jessica had so much fun with Tim. Last night they were busy showing their grandmother and aunt your recap from the game. We can't believe all of the things you guys did prior to the game. We look forward to the next time we meet up again (Wouldn't it be great if it was in Seattle for a Mariners division clinching game at the end of a season – hey if I am going to wish, I need to wish big). I saw you take the picture of Tim at Griffey's home run spot, but the angle and him pointing made such a perfect picture. We are waiting with anticipation to see all of the things you are doing on the annual GFS road trip-Aloha Todd (HI)
Great entry! The photo of Tim in the headband is priceless (and 4 points!). The cartoon drawing in the Camden Club is definitely the old Orioles' ballpark, Memorial Stadium. I went to a bunch of games there in the late 80's.
Great entry. I wanted to tell you I met Ryan Rowland-Smith yesterday at Busch Stadium. He is such an awesome guy, and I brought up the article of him giving you his jersey. He laughed, and said " Isnt that guy amazing? He troops his kid around going to baseball games all over the US " Imagine his accent…priceless.🙂
Take care!
Much respect,
I see your GFS trip is over. looks like you guys had tons of fun based on your twitter updates. I hope I get to some road trips this summer and next season with my dad!
I'm sure you'll have better luck next time. But most importantly, I'm sure you had a lot of fun this time.
Todd (HI) is a great guy. Hopefully he'll track you down next season. And hopefully I will too…or this season (August) in Cleveland??
Hey, the game is the main event, but there is PLENTY to do and see before the game too! It would be my pleasure to meet up with you in Seattle as the Mariners clinch the division. The M's have some work cut out for themselves. Go M's! Yeah, I'm very happy with how the Pointing-At-Griffey-The-Baseball picture came out. Just how I imagined it.
We racked up some more points over the past 7 days. I'll fill you in on it soon(ish).
That is awesome! Thanks for mentioning it to RRS. I have a great RRS story to share from the 2010 Cook G-F-S Roadtrip. I just need a boat load of time to put it all together. And, jeez, I wish the M's could have put together a few runs for RRS in St. Louis. He's due for a big offensive backing one of these days.
The trip is concluded. We just arrived home tonight. Between 7 games, I took 1635 pictures. My dad took probably 200-300 of his own. So be on the lookout for a bunch of picture-laden game reports.
Sounds like you guys had fun Todd! When are we t oexpect your first game entry from the trip?
Oh and another comment for this entry! haha. Is the camden tour tickets free?
In my last comment I mean the camden club in the warehosue. Are the tickets free?
Welcome back home, Todd and Tim (PA)! I cannot wait for your forthcoming posts on great memories of ballgames during the great family roadtrip. I'd be happy if you could send best regards from a Japanese baseball fan to Todd and Tim (HI). A sister of my grandfather lived in Hawaii as an immigrant.
Always enjoy reading about your ballpark adventures, off topic, but I know you are a Jason Phillips fan, had to make sure you read this story.
You can expect the roadtrip entry to be posted…last night! Yes, its free to get into the Camden Club. It is not an actual tour. You can just go in and check it out and, if you feel like it, get something to eat.
I'll get the entries put together sooner-or-later. But it'll be slow…lots of pictures to review and edit.
Thanks for the Jason Phillips update. We actually met his dad on our roadtrip and he told us that Jason was getting married on Sunday (tomorrow, I guess), but I didn't know he met her via a baseball toss-up. Also, although we had not met him yet, its interesting to learn that he met his soon-to-be wife at a game at which we were in attendance — by my count, the only 15 inning game against the A's last season was May 3, 2009. Thanks for the info!
Ok thanks for the info about the camden club. Do you get a ticket at the ballpark or can you just walk into the club?
GATHERINGBASEBALLS a/k/a JAMES-
There is a booth right in front of the Camden Club doors on Eutaw Street. Just ask the lady for tickets (well, it was a lady when I went at least) and she gives you tickets. No charge. And they apparently serve no purpose at all.

June 14, 2013 —
The Wayne County Commissioners have endorsed PennDOT construction plans for the widening and upgrading of a commercial strip of U.S. Route 6 in Texas Township.
According to PennDOT, the plan is to widen the existing two-lane road between State Route 652 and Brook Road (SR 2009) which is just west of Joe's Kwik Mart.
Other work includes concrete curbing, storm water drainage system, driveway adjustments, guide rail, signs and pavement markings.
Speaking after the June 6 commissioners' meeting, Commissioner Jonathan Fritz and Commissioners Chair Brian Smith voiced their support of PennDOT plans presented at a recent informational meeting.
Commissioner Wendell Kay did not attend the morning meeting and was not available for comment.
Smith called the decision "a no-brainer." He said the plans for the projected 2016 work looked like a good design. "There is a lot traffic turning there and the road needs a third lane.
Fritz said the daily highway traffic count of 14,450 determined the need, saying "safety is paramount."
Both agreed PennDOT would have challenges with drainage and water during the work, but Smith added that the commissioners had won assurances that efforts would be made to keep businesses along the stretch open during construction.
Fritz credited PennDOT for its outreach on the project, which he said allowed for the conveyance of the community's concerns and ideas.
In other business, the commissioners approved the Wayne County Department of Public Welfare renewal application for Wayne County Children and Youth Services, and appointed William Fentress to fill the unexpired vacancy caused by the resignation of John Gearing from the South Wayne Water and Sewer Authority.
They also accepted the July 5 resignation of Richard Ferraro, who has served as care management supervisor for the Area Agency on Aging, and is retiring.
They also received correspondence reporting the PA Department of Environmental Protection's granting of a waiver to Bedrock Quarries for non-coal exploration drilling in Damascus Township.
The commissioners confirmed the May 28 termination of corrections officer Susan Kundrat, who was initially hired to the position in September of 2008.
The commissioners meet regularly 10:30 a.m., on Tuesdays, for work sessions; and on Thursdays for official business.

Tips on travelling are helpful for those who haven't travelled ever or those who are a bit out of the loop so have a look here to get the information on airport transfers. Having organised transport is a very safe way to travel in a country you aren't familiar with.
What To Do When You Land
So how do you get transport after you land? Have your transfer prebooked and there waiting for you, it will make your life easier instead of queuing for taxis or rental cars.
Luxury transportation is something that almost never fails to impress anyone. If you think of a luxury car you imagine a chauffeured car to drive you around on your trip. Airports transfers and limos are lifesavers when it comes to this plus you don't need to be aware of directions and can just enjoy the scenery that's going past you. This form of transport represents sophistication and opulence not something many would treat themselves to every day.
If your hotel/accommodation is quite a distance from local amenities airport transfers can be used throughout your week if you book in advance. The service is great for those looking to wind down for their time away.
Capacity and Costs
One of the most important things to consider when organising an airport transfer is how many passengers you will need to accommodate. The reasoning for this is you must also take into account their luggage, avoiding cramming. There are plenty of different types of vehicle available from corporate car to a limo – the choice is up to you. Note: if any passengers are children without luggage you may be able to fit another passenger.
As airport transfers are (mostly) privately booked and are just for your party, make sure to let the company know of any special requests or services you will need. These may cost more so ask for a price when booking to avoid hidden costs.
Prices vary depending on time of year (holidays), availability (during holidays/events) and the day of the week (weekends) and your destination (distance).
Make sure to organise where you will be collecting when you arrive – what terminal and time. Many transfer services either wait outside or the driver will wait for you inside with a sign. It may be more expensive to be collected as some airports have taxes to set down etc. Prices of airport transfers tend to include fuel, tax and insurance.
Corporate Service
Airport transfers are great for corporate purposes. Give your client a great first impression by having them collected on time and looked after by getting the VIP treatment. All chauffeurs are trained in the standards of executive customer service.
The main point of the post is to say how beneficial airport transfers will be to you and it's worth getting one to travel stress free.

In the last article, you learned that a cryptosystem is used to protect the privacy, integrity, and authenticity of data as it traverses a network. In today's article, we'll see how the SSH cryptosystem provides these features.
If you're using at least FreeBSD version 4.0, your FreeBSD system uses OpensSSH and it is installed and ready to go. As the name implies, this is an open source implementation of the SSH cryptosystem. You can read more about it at the OpenSSH website.
In a previous article (see IP Packets Revealed), I demonstrated that the telnet utility can be used to login to a remote computer from another system. Once logged in, a user can do anything on that remote system as if he were physically sitting in front of it. That is, every keystroke is sent to the remote system and interpreted as if it had come from the keyboard attached to that remote system (even though that keyboard input first had to travel over a network). We also saw in that article that every single keystroke and response was sent in clear text, meaning that a sniffer could watch the entire session.

SSH, The Secure Shell: The Definitive Guide
Any SSH cryptosystem will allow a user to login to a remote system and work just as if he were physically there. However, before the user is given a login prompt, a key will be generated to encrypt and decrypt all of the data that will be passed between the two computers. That is, more is happening behind the scenes.
Since SSH is used to access another computer, a user account must exist on the computer to be accessed. Additionally, the computer being accessed is known as the SSH server and must be running the SSH daemon; by default, this daemon listens on TCP port 22. The machine you are sitting at is known as the SSH client; it will contact the daemon on the other machine.
Your FreeBSD system has default configurations that allow you to use SSH as is. I'll demonstrate the default configuration first, then move on to some changes you may wish to make to increase the security of SSH.
I'll be using two computers. 10.0.0.1 will be the SSH daemon, the computer
I wish to access, and 10.0.0.2 will be the SSH client, the computer I'm sitting
at. On both systems, I have created a user account called "genisis". You'll
note that the cryptosystem is called OpenSSH. It uses a protocol usually
written as uppercase SSH, and the commands you type,
ssh and
sshd, are written in lowercase. Also, you can use the
ssh command to access either an IP address or a hostname. In
this week's article, I'll purposefully use IP addresses. In the next
article I'll take a closer look at name resolution issues when using SSH.
First, I need to check if the host keys have been created on the system that will be the server. At 10.0.0.1, I'll run this command:
ls /etc/ssh
If I get this output:
moduli ssh_host_dsa_key.pub ssh_host_rsa_key
ssh_config ssh_host_key ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
ssh_host_dsa_key ssh_host_key.pub sshd_config
I have the necessary keys. However, if I instead get this output:
moduli ssh_config sshd_config
there aren't any host keys and I will need to generate them before I can start the SSH daemon. If I'm impatient and try to start the SSH daemon before creating the keys, it will refuse to start and I'll instead receive this error message:
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
Disabling protocol version 1. Could not load host key
Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key
sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.
There are several ways to generate those missing keys. If you are an
advanced user who is comfortable with reading startup scripts, search for
ssh in
/etc/rc.network to see which commands your
FreeBSD system uses to generate the host keys. I'll instead demonstrate the
results of running that script. The easiest way to ensure the necessary keys
are generated and that SSH starts whenever the system reboots is to add the
following line to
Once I've saved my changes, I'll type:
shutdown now
When I get a prompt back, I'll press enter and then type the word exit. As my startup scripts are reinitialized, I see the following message:
Starting final network daemons: creating ssh1 RSA host key
Generating public/private rsa1 key pair.
Your identification has been saved in /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.
Your public key has been saved in /etc/ ssh/ssh_host_key.pub.

The key fingerprint is:
22:69:d7:05:23:c6:db:d9:55:2a:20:a3:34:bd:f4:ef root@hostname
Let's take a look at that output. You'll note that three separate key pairs were generated: one for rsa1, one for rsa, and one for dsa. You should recognize the RSA and DSA acronyms from the last article on cryptographic terms. But why so many key pairs? There are two versions of the SSH protocol, and OpenSSH supports them both. Not surprisingly, the rsa1 keypair is used by SSH version 1. You can see from the output that ssh2 (version 2) supports both RSA and DSA.
Each key in a key pair is stored in a separate file. You can identify the
public key files, as they have a
.pub extension. Additionally,
each public key has an associated fingerprint which is unique to that key.
We'll see that fingerprint again.
Not only were the necessary keys generated, the SSH daemon was also
started. This can be verified with the
sockstat command:
sockstat |grep ssh
root sshd 69820 3 tcp4 *:22 *:*
root sshd 69820 3 tcp46 *:22 *:*
Okay, now that 10.0.0.1 is listening on port 22, let's see what happens
when I use the
ssh command from 10.0.0.2 as the user genisis:
ssh 10.0.0.1
The authenticity of host '10.0.0.1 (10.0.0.1)' can't be established.
DSA key fingerprint is 22:69:d7:05:23:c6:db:d9:55:2a:20:a3:34:bd:f4:ef.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added '10.0.0.1' (DSA) to the list of known hosts.
Once I type the correct password for the user genisis, I'll receive my motd and customized prompt. I'll then type "exit" to leave the session:
Connection to 10.0.0.1 closed.
I'll now repeat a second time:
ssh 10.0.0.1
Let's pick apart what happened here. The very first time I used SSH, I was asked to verify the fingerprint of the server's DSA public key. Once I doublechecked that it was correct and typed yes, a copy of the server's public key was placed on the client or 10.0.0.2:
more ~genisis/.ssh/known_hosts
10.0.0.1 ssh-dss AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAPiOFgV4PpsbXfkaxGD+hCr02Cv9P3OJDKfaXge059
The next time I used SSH, the server's public key was compared to the copy of that key on the client; since they were the same, SSH knew I was connecting to the correct server so I wasn't asked to re-verify a fingerprint. Instead, I simply received the login prompt on the server.
Let's recap what happens behind the scenes:
OpenSSH supports other authentication methods, but this is what happens in the default configuration on your FreeBSD system. You may have noticed that the server sent its DSA public key, meaning that it was using SSH version 2. This is a good default, as version 2 is much more secure than version 1.
You may have also noticed that the user doesn't require a key pair in the
default configuration, only their password. Let's change that. First, I'll
have to generate a key pair for the user genisis by using the
ssh-keygen command at 10.0.0.2:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/genisis/.ssh/id_rsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /home/genisis/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/genisis/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
fd:5a:cc:cf:a9:f0:ea:9c:93:ea:1a:04:48:b1:47:14 genisis@hostname
When using
ssh-keygen, you need to use the
t switch to specify
which type of key pair to create. Since SSH version 2 is more secure than
version 1, and since RSA is more secure than DSA, I chose to create a SSH
version 2 RSA keypair. I was also prompted for a passphrase which will be used
in the future to prove that I am the owner of the key pair, or, more
importantly, the private key. A passphrase is similar to a password, but should
be longer yet memorable. Whenever I wish to use the private key, I will be
prompted for the passphrase. If I ever forget the passphrase, I will need to
generate a new key pair.
Remember that the public key in a key pair is meant to be public and it is up to you to ensure the private key is kept private. Let's take a look at the default permissions on those keys:
ls ~genisis/.ssh
total 4
-rw------- 1 genisis genisis 951 Nov 9 15:00 id_rsa
-rw-r--r-- 1 genisis genisis 247 Nov 9 15:00 id_rsa.pub
The private key,
id_rsa, is only accessible by the user
genisis. The public key,
id_rsa.pub, is readable by anyone. If I
use the
file utility, I'll see that both files are ASCII text,
meaning they can be viewed with a pager:
file ~genisis/.ssh/*
id_rsa: ASCII text
id_rsa.pub: ASCII text
more id_rsa.pub
ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAIEA1gfc4NRnq9K17TLqhhKT3L6feKUttHTJvM054k+WhjI
H1aYjsgPPSpjulKCLQv263C9KOSpjDrjZ74ZLOlQHtsJINY2c= genisis@hostname
Note that I only showed you my public key, not my private key.
Creating the key pair is not enough. I still need to copy my public key into my home directory on the SSH server. Once the server has a copy of my public key, whenever I use SSH it will ask for my public key so it can compare it to its copy. If they match, I will be authenticated.
I'll use the
scp or secure copy command to copy the key to the
server. This utility comes with OpenSSH and allows you to transfer files over
an encrypted session. Its syntax is similar to the regular old
command; the only difference is that the destination file starts with the IP
address of the machine you want to copy the file to, followed by a full colon,
followed by the name you want the file to have once it is copied over.
So, at 10.0.0.2, I'll issue this command to copy my public key to the server:
scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub 10.0.0.1:~/.ssh/authorized_keys
id_rsa.pub: 100% |***************************| 247 00:00
Note that I was careful to copy over the public key, not
the private key; that is, I chose the file with the
.pub extension. I also had
to change the name of the destination file to
~/.ssh/authorized_keys. I was prompted for my password on the
destination system before the actual copy occurred.
Now that my public key is copied over, I'll try another SSH:
ssh 10.0.0.1
This time, I wasn't prompted for a password. Instead, since my public key was correct, I immediately received my shell prompt on the server machine. While it may seem less secure to not be prompted for anything, being authenticated by a public key is more secure than being authenticated by a password. However, the security of the system still depends upon you. Just like you don't give other users your password, don't give other users your private key or your passphrase. If you ever suspect that your private key has been compromised, generate a new key pair using a different passphrase and copy over the new public key to the SSH server.
When using
ssh, you don't have to be logged in to the same account on the
client machine as you want to access on the server machine. For example, if I'm
currently logged in as biko but want to access genisis on the server
machine, I can use the
l switch or login switch at the client:
ssh -l genisis 10.0.0.1
I could also use this equivalent command:
ssh email@example.com
Since there isn't a copy of genisis' public key in biko's home directory, I'll be prompted for a password. I need to input the password for genisis, not for biko. While it's a little bit harder to remember who I am on each system, it does mean that I don't have to create a user account called genisis on both machines.
Let's see what happens if I try to use SSH from the superuser account:
ssh 10.0.0.1
email@example.com's password:
Permission denied. Please try again.
firstname.lastname@example.com's password:
Even though I gave the correct password for the superuser account, access
was denied. This is a very good default. Just like you should never login
directly as root, you should never
ssh into another system from the root
account. If you need superuser access on the remote system,
ssh using a regular
user account which has permission to become the superuser once logged in to the
remote system.
In order to change the other defaults, we'll have to take a close look at
the parameters in the SSH configuration files. Let's save that for next time.
In the meantime, you can get a sneak peek by reading the manpages for
ssh_config and
sshd_config. You might also find the
ssh FAQ interesting.

Hey Paigekitten! Good to hear from you, again. I admire your perseverance. Way to go mamma for continuing to keep up your milk supply. What a woman you are! I never did get my daughter (who is now four) to latch and I know what it takes to keep on pumping and pumping and pumping and pumping... it gets old, quick. I know I felt so rejected by my daughter when she wouldn't nurse. Good for you for continuing! I mean it.
I would let her play with your nipples, unless it hurts. I think that the more time with your breasts, the better. Sounds like you are doing something right if she has nursed 5 times. I know it may not feel that way, though. Have you tried when she is sleepy? How are you feeding her? Are you using bottles or what? Can you feed her against your bare breast?
Stay with our message board! You are working on learning to nurse just like the rest of us and I think you belong here. We tend to be a more "long-term" forum while the others may be more looking for a quick bit of info.
Has the cranio-sacral therapy continued to help? Are you still doing this? Tell us more of your story.


text: When i was pumping this morning i noticed i had alot of clear stuff, i think that's the foremilk. I"m nursing natte every 1.5 hours it seems, and i htink its becuase he's getting too much formilk. how do i straighten that out?? My milk supply dropped and i'm working to get it back up. Tho, his birthweight seems fine, i'm really worried about too much foremilk and not enough hindmilk.

Todd Vernon, Bryce Ambraziunas and Dan Jones brought the Boulder-based company out of stealth mode after announcing a $1.58 million round of seed funding Dec. 27.
VictorOps will use the seed funding to build a web and mobile platform that will enable the teams at companies charged with keeping websites and servers running 24/7 to collaborate using smartphones, computers and tablets to manage and fix problems.
"What people don't realize is that their favorite website, be it Amazon.com or EBay, has a team of software engineers constantly fixing problems behind the scenes, and these teams are not apparent to customers," Vernon said. "Problems just seem to happen a night, and these ops teams are very proud, they want to be able to fix a problem quickly. Our product will allow them to get that job done."
When an Internet-centric business' website goes down, it loses revenue. Most software-as-a-service companies, Vernon said, agree they lose approximately 1 percent of yearly revenue to service interruptions.
The best engineered infrastructures, with all the appropriate levels of redundancy, require constant remediation to deliver 24/7 service to customers, he said. It is typical within a one-week period for these teams to get hundreds of automated alerts requiring attention. Several alerts a week will escalate to events requiring multiple team members to work together to solve the problem
Vernon said customers have enormous expectations that businesses, now moving to the cloud, are always on, always available and always functioning. To meet this need, businesses have adopted complex and large-scale architectures, procedures and practices, often prone to glitches.
Until recently, mobile devices did not provide enough functionality to enable team members to collaborate and contribute on solving problems. Now, the same device can effectively be the alerting channel, the view into situational information flow and the point of interaction to allow participation, Vernon explained.
Ryan McIntyre from Boulder-based Foundry Group led the investment with participation from Chris Marks at Boulder-based Tango Investments and VictorOps' co-founders, Vernon, Ambraziunas and Jones, who invested 30 percent of the round.
"The funding should keep us up and running throughout 2013 when we expect to start generating revenue, said Vernon, who is serving as chief executive. VictorOps is Vernon's third startup, having founded Boulder-based Raindance Communications Inc., a web-conferencing company that was sold to West Corp. in 2006 for more than $170 million. He was also founder and chief executive of Boulder-based Lijit Networks Inc., an online advertising company that was sold to Federated Media Publishing in October for "just under $100 million" in stock, according to Fortune magazine.
"I have the most fun at this stage company," Vernon said. "The bigger, the less fun."
"We want to hire software developers and are seeking businesses to be alpha customers," Vernon said. Interested companies can sign up at www.victorops.com. VictorOps will operate with about eight employees for the first six to nine months, Vernon said. It is subleasing about 2,000 square feet of space from Trada Inc. in the former Daily Camera building in downtown Boulder.
Ambraziunas, who will serve as chief operating officer, has spent more than 17 years developing and operating real-time communications services where "downtime just isn't an option." Ambraziunas most recently was founder and COO at Affinity VideoNet, a 24/7 videoconferencing company working with some of the most demanding customers on the planet.
Jones, who will serve as chief technical officer, has 25 years of experience in the software industry, the last 15 years as architect and builder of scalable Internet services designed to be "always on." He served as chief architect and vice president of engineering at Raindance and Lijit Networks.
Jim Lejeal, chief financial officer at Boulder-based Rally Software Development Corp., will join VictorOps' board as an independent director.

Sports Talk: King, Dawson sidelined for the hoops season
Sina King and Erica Dawson, two of the greatest prep basketball players ever to have competed in Washington County, will be taking a break from the action on the hardwood this winter.
The 6-foot King, a former Waterford Wildcat and currently a senior on the University of Akron women's basketball squad, is being treated for blood clots. She is expected to be evaluated in six months.
Dawson, a 5-9 freshman recruit at Xavier University, suffered a knee injury during the summer, and will also miss the 2013-2014 hoops campaign. She of course played her high school ball at Marietta, where she is the lady program's all-time leading scorer.
It's really going to be strange not seeing King and Dawson in a box score when the season tips off in earnest next month.
King, a third-team all-Mid-American Conference honoree as a junior (15 points and 8.7 rebounds per game), was instrumental in helping the Zips capture the MAC East Division crown last season. This upcoming year, she will be a student coach on the team.
Dawson is expected to be red-shirted at Xavier.
During her basketball career at MHS, she was pretty much all-everything, and helped the Lady Tigers advance to the regional tournament when she was a junior.
Also in Washington County women's basketball news, former Fort Frye standouts' Taylor Buchanan and Deidra Combs are getting ready to begin their college-playing days.
Buchanan, a 5-10 freshman, is on the Palm Beach Atlantic University roster, while the 5-10 Combs will be in her first season at Fairmont State University. Both schools are NCAA Division II.
Buchanan will be seeing her first Sailfish action in an exhibition game against Division I power Baylor University in Waco, Tx., on Oct. 30.
Combs' Fighting Falcons' team is scheduled to open up its season against visiting Bluefield State on Nov. 9.
At the University of Charleston (W.Va.), former Marietta Tigers' standout LeAnne Ross will be a junior. Last season, the 5-8 sharpshooter was the Golden Eagles' second-leading scorer, averaging 10.8 points per game.
UC is slated to tip off its season against Johnson C. Smith University on Nov. 9.
In Division III, you don't have to look any further than Marietta College, if you want to see any local players compete on the court. The Stacia Shrider-coached Lady Pioneers boast four area cagers on the roster – freshman Jordanna Rauch (Warren), freshman Morgan Liedtke (Fort Frye), junior Heather Booth (Frontier), and senior Paige Lamb (Marietta).

Stir It Up: Satisfy cravings with 'restaurant' dessertPhoto by Marcus Nilsson
This silky, tangy Buttermilk Panna Cotta gives the nod to spring with a compote of strawberry and rhubarb. The photo and recipe are from "Family Table: Favorite Staff Meals" by Michael Romano and Karen Stabiner.
There's no accounting for cravings. Just when spring is in the air, and I know I should be salivating for the bright flavors of new greens, tangy radishes or tender lamb, I instead find myself with a powerful hankering for something sweet.
And not just a nutritionist-approved square of dark chocolate or dollop of Greek yogurt and fruit, but a full-on, fancy sweet dessert. An "on purpose" dessert, one that takes time and deliberation. A dessert that — unlike ice cream eaten from the carton while standing at the open freezer — can be thoughtfully savored. A "restaurant" dessert.
Being an unschooled home cook rather than a trained pastry chef, however, I know that my skills are limited in the restaurant dessert department. It is highly unlikely I will be producing anything that involves brioche dough or homemade puff pastry, tempered chocolate, tuiles, sabayon, foam or fondant.
A new cookbook offers the perfect solution: the not-on-the-menu dishes that restaurant staff enjoy together at the daily (or twice-a-day) "family" meal. "Family Dinner," by Union Square Cafe chef Michael Romano and writer Karen Stabiner, gives recipes from the staff meals of some of New York City's finest restaurants.
For example, Union Square Cafe offers on its menu desserts such as White Chocolate & Lemon Mousse With Blood Orange, Yuzu Syrup (and) Grapefruit Sorbet, but the waiters and kitchen staff might be served a Quick Coconut Cake with their dinner, a recipe that takes about 15 minutes to put together and is moist and delicious. Chefs from Blue Smoke and Eleven Madison Park contribute down-home desserts such as peanut butter cookies and lemon bars to this cookbook. The posh Gramercy Tavern chimes in with hot fudge sauce.
The recipes for the savory dishes in this cookbook are equally appealing and accessible to the home cook: an herb-filled frittata, short ribs braised with cola, black bean chili, chicken Parmigiano and more.
"Family Table" provides a perfect way to have a restaurant meal at home, finished with a restaurant dessert, of course. The Buttermilk Panna Cotta contributed by Cristina Nastasi, a pastry chef for the cafes of New York's Museum of Modern Art, is a perfect choice.
"Panna cotta" is Italian for "cooked cream," which may sound as blah as a dessert can sound without actually having the word "tapioca" in it; it is in fact a sweet, silky confection. Nastasi's version is also pretty to look at, even a touch elegant. And the strawberry and rhubarb compote that complements it has those bright "spring" flavors we are supposed to be wanting.
There's just no accounting for cravings. Please pass me a spoon.
Buttermilk Panna Cotta With Rhubarb-Strawberry Compote
Yield: 6 servings
For the compote (see note):
½ cup sugar
½ cup water
4 cups thinly sliced rhubarb
2 cups quartered, hulled strawberries
For the panna cotta:
2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
1 cup heavy cream (divided)
½ cup sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups buttermilk
Make the compote: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat. In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, combine the rhubarb and sugar syrup. Bake, uncovered, until the rhubarb is tender, about 15 minutes. Add the strawberries, stir, and bake for 5 minutes until the strawberries have softened. Let cool to room temperature, then transfer to a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for up to one week.
Make the panna cotta: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over ½ cup cream. Let stand until softened, about 5 minutes.
Bring the remaining ½ cup cream, sugar and vanilla to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and let cool for 1 minute, then whisk in the cream-gelatin mixture until the gelatin dissolves. Stir in the buttermilk.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a large measuring cup. Divide the mixture among six (4-ounce) ramekins or pour into a small serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least five hours, until set. (Well-wrapped, the panna cotta will keep for up to three days in the refrigerator.)
Run a sharp knife around the edges of the ramekins and unmold the panna cotta onto plates, or serve it right in the ramekins or scoop out of the bowl. Top with the fruit compote, using about 2/3 cup of compote per serving.
Note: You can also serve this compote with ice cream or yogurt. The recipe makes about 3 cups.

Three more charged in retail theftsBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | September 26,2013CASTLETON A fourth football player and two soccer players have been charged in the ring of Castleton State College athletes who were stealing from Dicks Sporting Goods.
Vermont State Police announced that they had cited Eric N. Cross, 19; Dominic S. Heller, 21; and Zachary J. Howe, 28, for retail theft. Cross and Heller are members of the soccer team and Howe is a football player.
The first two players, Brandon Boyle and George Busharis, were cited Sept. 10. Police said Boyle worked at the store and helped Busharis and other teammates steal merchandise.
They were followed into court late last week by football player Mark Comstock, who was also cited for retail theft.
After the first two arrests, the college announced that they had suspended six football players for involvement in the thefts, but said confidentiality rules prevented the school from naming them to the police.
CSC spokesman Jeff Weld confirmed Wednesday that Howe was one of the original suspended football players and said Cross and Heller had just now been suspended from the soccer team.
That apparently leaves two football players unidentified and uncharged, but a call to the investigating officer to clarify that point was not immediately returned Wednesday.
The incident also appears to have created tension on campus over the publicity surrounding the charges. The editor of the school paper, The Spartan, reported that the first issue of the semester contained a front-page story on the incident and many copies were removed from several locations around campus after it was published last week.
Molly DeMellier said she and co-editor Martina Marchese co-authored the story.
Its definitely a big story that the campus is talking about, she said. Theres a lot of shock. Theyre well-known kids.
DeMellier said the college prints 1,200 copies of each edition and distributes them around campus. When the first edition came out Sept. 18, she said, they disappeared from numerous locations.
Mostly the Campus Center, Leavenworth Hall, Woodruff Hall and, I believe, Jeffords Hall, she said. Those are just the places we know they were completely gone from.
DeMellier said some of them were later found in the trash. She said she reported the thefts to the schools public safety department, which was investigating. The next issue comes out Oct. 2.
Were going to have something, she said. I wrote an editorial that covers it and were still figuring out how we want to cover it with more information coming out since last week.
DeMellier added, Im trying to stay as middle-ground as I can. I try not to waver too much. I have a lot of friends on both sides, so it puts me in a difficult position.

Nutritionist Mira Calton and her husband, Dr. Jayson Calton, studied more than 150 ingredients during a six-year, expedition around the world and put together a list of 13 ingredients banned in other countries that are still allowed in the U.S. Their book "Rich Food, Poor Food" was released in February.
13. Yellow Dye 5 (Coloring Agent) -- Found in most boxed macaroni and cheese, Yellow 5 has been banned in Austria and Norway and is being phased out of similar foods in the United Kingdom, according to a petition to remove the dye from Kraft Macaroni & Cheese.
12. Yellow Dye 6 (Coloring Agent) -- Also used in most boxed macaroni and cheese, Yellow Dye 6 and other coloring agents are also found in soda, sports drinks and certain cakes. The use of artificial dyes in food has increased five-fold since 1955, according to the Caltons.
11. Blue Dye 1 (Coloring Agent) -- Blue Dye 1 frequently appears in candy and is being dropped by many European countries over a possible link to ADHD and other behavior disorders in children.
10. Blue Dye 2 (Coloring Agent) -- Pet food and some cheeses contain Blue Dye 2 and other artificial coloring agents. Most of these are made from coal tar, which is also used to seal-coat industrial floors and kill off lice in head lice shampoos, according to the Caltons.
9. Olestra (aka Olean) -- Found in fat-free potato chips, the fat substitute Olestra depletes fat-soluble vitamins and carotenoids and is banned in the U.K. and Canada. It can also cause some nasty side effects, like diarrhea.
8. Brominated Vegetable Oil -- Banned in Japan and the European Union, brominated vegetable oil has long been used in the U.S. as an additive in some sports drinks and citrus-flavored sodas like Mountain Dew, Squirt and Fresca. It prevents the flavoring from separating and floating to the top of beverages, but may also lead to thyroid issues. Its main ingredient, bromine, is a poisonous chemical.
7. Potassium Bromate -- Also known as brominated flour, potassium bromate is found in some wraps, rolls, flatbreads, bread crumbs and bagel chips. It's used to strengthen dough and lessen baking times. However, it's also made with the same toxic chemical found in bromine and has been banned in Canada, Nigeria, Brazil, Peru, China, Sri Lanka and the European Union over possible kidney and nervous system disorders as well as gastrointestinal discomfort.
6. Azodicarbonamide -- American food processors use this chemical to instantly bleach flour for use in some frozen dinners, breads, boxed pasta mixes and packaged baked goods. In Singapore, you can be fined nearly a half million dollars and imprisoned for up to 15 years for using this chemical that's been linked to asthma. It's primarily used in foamed plastics, like yoga mats and sneaker soles, according to the Caltons.
5. BHA (Food Preservative) -- Found in everything from meat to cereal and gum, BHA is a waxy solid made from petroleum to prevent food from going bad. The U.S. National Institute of Health has labeled it a cancer-causing agent, although only California currently recognizes that report.
4. BHT (Food Preservative) -- Also used to prevent fats in foods like nut mixes from becoming rancid, BHT is also used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, jet fuels, rubber, petroleum products, electrical transformer oil and embalming fluid. Many European countries have found the additive questionable enough to ban it from their food supply.
3. rBGH (Synthetic Hormone) -- Found in some milk and other dairy products, farmers inject their dairy cattle with hormones like rBGH to boost milk production by about 10 percent, according to the Caltons. This synthetic hormone is banned in Canada and the European Union and has been banned by many U.S. dairy farmers, but is still licensed by the FDA and Department of Agriculture. Cows injected with the hormone are more prone to health problems like lameness and reproductive problems.
2. rBST (Synthetic Hormone) -- Another hormone injected in dairy cows to boost milk production, rBST is also banned in Canada and the European Union for similar reasons. Organic dairy producers claim their are safer ways to increase milk production and question its safety.
1. Arsenic -- The FDA permits arsenic in chicken feed to promote growth boost pigmentation in poultry meat. However, the European Union has outlawed its use since 1999, according to the Caltons, and the Environmental Protection Agency classifies inorganic arsenic as a "human carcinogen."

At first, it was the emotion texting.
Aaron Rodgers and his Green Bay Packers teammates had left Ford Field when his iPhone vibrated. His frustration in the wake of a 40-10 Thanksgiving Day defeat at the hands of the Detroit Lions was still boiling. It had been a game that that his coach, Mike McCarthy, had called "a very disappointing and embarrassing loss" and "a very poor performance" – and was arguably still understating just how awful it was.
And all Rodgers had been able to do was watch from the sideline, listen on the coaching headsets and, at one point, toss away his clipboard in disgust.
So, he was asked, would he be back for the team's next game, Dec. 8 against Atlanta?
"Count on it," came the reply in the little gray bubble.
Then, mere seconds later, more gray bubbles.
"Hold on," he wrote. "Lemme think."
While Rodgers' thumbs paused and his mind pondered, the reality was this: With Thursday's blowout loss – the first time the Lions had won on Thanksgiving since 2003, when they beat the Packers 22-14 before a nine-game holiday losing streak on their holiday home turf – it may not matter.
Certainly, mathematically, the Packers (5-6-1) could get Rodgers back and run the table, finish 9-6-1 and win the NFC North division title if the Lions (7-5) and Bears (6-5) stumble down the stretch. But the way they're playing – offensively and defensively? Not even their MVP might be able to save them at this point.
With Matt Flynn starting in Rodgers' place – thereby becoming the fourth different starting quarterback to get the nod this season, which could be unprecedented (team and Elias Sports Bureau research cannot say definitively) – the Packers offense managed a pathetic 126 net yards and only three points.
It was the fewest yards by a Packers offense since a 35-0 loss to the New England Patriots in McCarthy's first season on Nov. 19, 2006, when they managed only 120 yards after Brett Favre was knocked out with an elbow injury and Rodgers played the second half on a broken foot.
"Probably the worst (expletive) offensive day in the history of the (expletive) Packers," right guard/center T.J. Lang said. "It was bad."
It also marked the first time the Packers had failed to generate an offensive touchdown since Dec. 12, 2010, when the Lions knocked Rodgers out of the game with a concussion and Flynn struggled in a 7-3 loss.
Unlike 2010, though, when the Packers went into the final two weeks of the regular season at 8-6 and embarked on a six-game winning streak that consummated in the Super Bowl XLV title, this team doesn't appear to have any semblance of that team's determination. Or, possibly, talent. On defense, the team got cornerback Sam Shields (hamstring), run-stuffing defensive end Johnny Jolly (groin) and outside linebacker Nick Perry (foot/ankle) back from injury – and managed to be worse. On offense, the unit looked nothing like the Flynn-led outfit that rallied from a 16-point fourth-quarter deficit last Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings to forge a 26-26 tie – the team's only non-loss since Rodgers broke his left collarbone against the Chicago Bears on Nov. 4 on Monday Night Football.
Asked if Rodgers might give his team a spark by returning, McCarthy replied, "You don't want to put everything on one man, but I think it's obvious how important Aaron Rodgers is to any football team. The fact of the matter is we have 61 players in our building, we have a coaching staff. And when you're rallying cry is 'Next man up,' and everything is going well and you're able to overcome injuries throughout the early part of the year, everybody's high fiving. And then when you don't, now you're going to sit here and cry a different tune? That's not the way it works. We're in this to win games and we haven't won a game in five weeks."
No, they haven't. Since Rodgers went down, the Packers are 0-4-1. They were on a four-game winning streak and were 5-2 at the time. Since then, the offense can be most politely described as inconsistent. Their defense cannot be described politely at all.
Nearly eclipsing last January's playoff abomination, when the unit gave up 579 yards to the San Francisco 49ers in an NFC Divisional Playoff loss, the Packers managed to take the ball away four times – including a Matthew Stafford fumble that was caused by outside linebacker Nick Perry and returned for a touchdown by safety Morgan Burnett – and still left the building completely embarrassed, having allowed 563 net yards, a season-worst 241 rushing yards and a season-high five touchdowns.
"That's obviously very difficult to comprehend and come to the realization," outside linebacker Clay Matthews said. "But the only place we can go from here is up. At least we're hoping so."
Most stunningly, the Packers run defense has imploded. After six games, the unit was ranked No. 3 in the league and allowing just 79.0 yards per game, putting them on a franchise-record pace for fewest rushing yards allowed in a season. (The record, set in 2009, was 83.3 yards per game.)
In the last six games, the Packers have allowed 1,037 yards, with the Lions (241) and the Minnesota Vikings (232) putting up season-highs against the defense in back-to-back weeks. For perspective, the Packers gave up 474 rushing yards in the first six games. In the last two, they've allowed 473.
"Scheme is not a crutch," McCarthy said, clearly defending defensive coordinator Dom Capers with his response to a question about the defense. "When you're in run defense, you play with leverage, you've got to get off the damn block and tackle the ball carrier. You can cut it any way you want, and we're not doing that right now. We haven't done that in a month."
They also haven't won in a month. Asked why they're 0-4-1 without Rodgers, McCarthy seemed to point to the players.
"I'm not going to make excuses. I think the facts of the matter, especially in today's game, it's clear what's gone on with our football team," McCarthy said. "You line up with 46 (players) each and every week and you put a plan in for those guys to be successful – and we didn't even come close to hitting the mark today. I don't know how else to keep telling you that. The Detroit Lions got after us in a big way."
Remarkably, though, the game was a one-score game at halftime (17-10), and even after the Packers went three-and-out on the opening possession of the third quarter – one of five three-and-outs on the day – and the Lions scored on the ensuing possession to make it 24-10, all was not lost.
"We were still optimistic. We knew that we hadn't caught rhythm yet," said Flynn, who completed 10 of 20 passes for 139 yards with no touchdowns and one interception (51.9 rating) – and was sacked as many times as the Packers managed first downs (seven). "We started out OK, got a couple first downs, but that's not us out there, and we knew that."
