As he puts it, "Ain't nobody sat on that street as much as I have."
Planted in his favorite chair in front of his shop, Jones Country Store, he can definitely say there is something wrong with Main Street — in every aspect from its blind parking spaces to the speed of traffic.
Exactly how to fix the problems is what downtown patrons, merchants and town leaders hope to figure out as they move forward on a mission to improve Sylva's main downtown thoroughfare.
"We've go to do something," Jones said. "I don't think they can make it any worse."
Main Street traffic is a longstanding safety issue in Sylva, one oft discussed but never acted on. Now, the Sylva town board is asking residents for their input. The town is hosting a public hearing at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 5, at town hall for the public to sound off on problems they see with the street and possible solutions to them.
The biggest complaint on Main Street is parking. Main Street is one-way, with diagonal parking spots. Drivers are mostly blind when backing out of the diagonal spaces into lanes of oncoming traffic. Oversized vehicles make that situation even worse, oftentimes jutting out into the lanes and blocking the view of anyone parked next to them attempting to back out.
Drivers often enlist a friend when backing out of a Main Street parking stall to stand outside the car and give the all clear signal. Jones says he acts as the lookout for little old ladies leaving their downtown parking spots as cars come flying by.
"The fastest place in town is right in front of my store," Jones said. "They're flying when they go through there."
While some problems that face Main Street will take in-depth planning, the parking problem might be addressed with a little bit of paint.
Town leaders have kicked around the idea of marking off the back end of the slanted parking stalls, to let drivers of oversized vehicle know when they are parked too far back, or are just too plain long.
"If your vehicle is over this line, the end of your car is in the lane," Town Manager Paige Roberson said. "It's a safety concern."
Another idea to make parking safer is to change the angle of the slanted stalls and make them closer to parallel with the street. It may reduce the number of cars that can squeeze downtown, but the less severe angle should make leaving a parking spot easier.
Another idea is to reverse the parking stalls, so they are pointing in the other direction. That way drivers have to back into their spaces, but then simply drive forward to leave.
However, all these possible remedies may in turn cause unforeseen complications. That's why board members are holding the forum.
"My theory is you don't want to do anything then find out that it's worse than it was," said Harold Hensley, a town board member.
With each proposal comes a potential downside.
Reversing the parking stalls might deter passersby from stopping at downtown business if they are confused about how to park in a slanted space facing the opposite direction than they were driving on the one-way street.
Meanwhile, painting a line directly behind the parking stalls might confuse out-of-town drivers into thinking the lane is wider than it really is, leading them too far left.
"We don't want to run them into the curb extensions," said Reuben Moore, a N.C. Department of Transportation traffic engineer stationed in Sylva.
Redrawing the parking lines — even though it would sacrifice the number of spaces — is the easiest fixes being floated for Main Street.
But there is also talk of turning it back into a two-lane street. Or perhaps utilizing a traffic island. Or making the left lane turn lane at every intersection to slow traffic who otherwise use the double travel lanes to pass other cars. Moore said cars are traveling on average 10 miles per hour above the 20 miles-per-hour speed limit.
But each promising solution threatens another set of problems. A two-way Main Street would mean Mill Street, the one-way going in the opposite direction, would have to become two-way again also, and it may be too narrow for that.
Turning the double travel lanes of Main Street into left turn lanes at every intersection could scare off people looking to park downtown but who don't want to be stuck in the left turn lane while scanning for a spot on the left side. And, it may overload the right lane and make parallel parking on that side even more arduous.
"They wouldn't be able to zip through town as fast," said Moore, pointing out the positive, before adding the negative. "But parking on the right side is already hard — and it wouldn't get any easier."
Moore said it would be up to the town to come up with a solution they think is fitting, and DOT would most likely go along with it if it appeared to be a viable solution.


text: Parent-teacher home visits part of district-union partnership aimed at closing the achievement gap for Springfield students SPRINGFIELD – Parents of students at four of the city's elementary schools will soon be visited by their children's teachers as part of a union-school district partnership that supports educators' efforts to close student achievement gaps. Teachers from Edward P. Boland Elementary School, William N. DeBerry Elementary School, Hiram L. Dorman Elementary School and Sumner Avenue Elementary School will be visiting the homes of their students in an effort to elevate parental involvement and bridge the gap between school and home. Some parents have already been visited, and the program will now expand to all households for these four schools. Parent-teacher home visits have proven to be extremely beneficial for students and their families. When parents and teachers communicate and establish trust, academic achievement follows. Today, the names of the four schools selected to participate in the first phase of the initiative were announced, and each was awarded $25,000 to fund the work. The home-visit project is one component of the Springfield Collaboration for Change, a five-year initiative spearheaded by the Springfield Public Schools, the Springfield Education Association and community leaders. The district-union partnership officially launched earlier this year when Springfield was awarded $1.25 million from the NEA Foundation as part of its Closing the Achievement Gaps Initiative. "We know home visits go a very long way in engaging parents who otherwise, and for a myriad of reasons, would not be prone to visit their child's school to receive important regular updates on their progress," Superintendent of Schools Dr. Alan J. Ingram said. "It also strengthens the home-school relationship for parents who are already involved and engaged. It's a strong step forward in our work to close the achievement gap." The initiative is focused on improving student achievement through strengthened labor-management collaboration, parental involvement and community engagement. "We can make a difference for our students by having honest and open discussions about the challenges we face and focusing on our most pressing issues," Springfield Education Association President Timothy Collins said. "Working collaboratively, teachers, administrators, parents and community members will help improve the lives of the children in our charge and close these persistent achievement gaps." Ingram recognized Collins for his efforts to make the project a success. "This kind of collaboration and partnership is crucial in our work to create a culture of educational excellence," he said. The four elementary schools chosen by the Springfield Collaboration for Change were selected competitively based on need and readiness to undertake collaborative improvement measures. Coaching teams, each composed of a retired principal and a retired teacher, are assigned to each of the schools to work with a team of educators, as well as the entire school community, to develop and implement strategies to close the achievement gaps and advance academic achievement for all students. "We are pleased with the progress that Springfield has made in developing a powerful structure and plan for coaching teams to bring instructional innovations to participating schools," said Harriet Sanford, president and CEO of the NEA Foundation. "These innovations will be shared through professional learning communities in each school and adapted to include not only student performance and growth data, but teacher satisfaction data and perceptions about curriculum, instruction and leadership." The third leg of the initiative is aimed at building strong alliances between the city's public schools and community organizations. It includes aligning services offered by community groups so that areas of need are met and Springfield students are given the help they need to succeed in school. The Pioneer Valley Project first brought the idea of a parent-teacher home-visit program in Springfield in 2006. It is currently partners with the district and the SEA to manage the program, which will now include the four collaboration schools announced today.

HI - we are going to be leaving the NICU in the next week most likely. My son was born at 34 weeks and will be about 38 weeks when we leave. I've been pumping at least 8 times a day and am getting 20-30 ml each session - not enought to feed him yet. I'm working on increasing my supply. He has been able to try to breastfeed once a day. We will up that to twice a day when we go home. He gets worn out pretty easily.
I'm wondering if there is hope to breastfeed him exclusively, or am I going to have to breastfeed, bottle feed AND pump to make this work? It is exhausting doing it all.
Any ideas on how to increase my the amount I breastfeed so that I can reduce the amount I have to pump over the long run?
Any hope?

"Overall, I'm very proud of how our team played tonight. We are making progress, and that excited me," said head coach Tim Stowe.
The SeaHawks captured the first set, but the Lady Cats pulled things together to sweep the next three for the 3-12 victory in the best of five match.
The victory improves the S-T girls' season record to 4-4 on the year through Friday's match.
Isabel Jimenez led the offensive surge with 13 kills in the match, dominating the net play for the Lady Cats. Amy Berthold also came up with 13 kills on the night and steadied the defense when she was on the back line, according to Stowe.
"Star of the game was definitely Isabel Jimenez. She is only 5-6 but played like a six-footer at the net tonight. Every time Riviera overpassed to us, she made them pay," said Stowe.
"It was great to see her and the team so pumped up and excited."
Berthold drew equal praise for her play on the court, both at net and on the back line.
"Amy Berthold also played big for us. She hits the ball hard on attacks but also has a knack for tipping at the right time," Stowe said.
"The most important thing Amy did for us though was anchor us on defense. Her back row passing was excellent."
The S-T JV girls won in two straight sets, overpowering the young SeaHawks, 25-12 and 25-10. Amber Gutierrez helped in the victory with 21 points off her service game for the Lady Cat JV in the two sets. Samantha Moore, Debra Wilder, Whitley Rix and Alyssa Alaniz all served well and provided scoring for Skidmore.
The score for the freshman match was not available, but coach Stowe remarked that the ninth-grade squad did make it a clean sweep for the Lady Cats.
The Skidmore-Tynan girls played Bee County rival Pettus on Tuesday afternoon in Skidmore. The Lady Cats are off this weekend but will host Three Rivers on Tuesday night in a dog-and-cat squabble. The freshman contest gets underway at 5 p.m.

Of SBM and EBM Redux. Part II: Is it a Good Idea to test Highly Implausible Health Claims?
This is the second post in a series* prompted by an essay by statistician Stephen Simon, who argued that Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) is not lacking in the ways that we at Science-Based Medicine have argued. David Gorski responded here, and Prof. Simon responded to Dr. Gorski here. Between that response and the comments following Dr. Gorski's post it became clear to me that a new round of discussion would be worth the effort.
Part I of this series provided ample evidence for EBM's "scientific blind spot": the EBM Levels of Evidence scheme and EBM's most conspicuous exponents consistently fail to consider all of the evidence relevant to efficacy claims, choosing instead to rely almost exclusively on randomized, controlled trials (RCTs). The several quoted Cochrane abstracts, regarding homeopathy and Laetrile, suggest that in the EBM lexicon, "evidence" and "RCTs" are almost synonymous. Yet basic science or preliminary clinical studies provide evidence sufficient to refute some health claims (e.g., homeopathy and Laetrile), particularly those emanating from the social movement known by the euphemism "CAM."
It's remarkable to consider just how unremarkable that last sentence ought to be. EBM's founders understood the proper role of the rigorous clinical trial: to be the final arbiter of any claim that had already demonstrated promise by all other criteria—basic science, animal studies, legitimate case series, small controlled trials, "expert opinion," whatever (but not inexpert opinion). EBM's founders knew that such pieces of evidence, promising though they may be, are insufficient because they "routinely lead to false positive conclusions about efficacy." They must have assumed, even if they felt no need to articulate it, that claims lacking such promise were not part of the discussion. Nevertheless, the obvious point was somehow lost in the subsequent formalization of EBM methods, and seems to have been entirely forgotten just when it ought to have resurfaced: during the conception of the Center for Evidence-Based Medicine's Introduction to Evidence-Based Complementary Medicine.
Thus, in 2000, the American Heart Journal (AHJ) could publish an unchallenged editorial arguing that Na2EDTA chelation "therapy" could not be ruled out as efficacious for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease because it hadn't yet been subjected to any large RCTs—never mind that there had been several small ones, and abundant additional evidence from basic science, case studies, and legal documents, all demonstrating that the treatment is both useless and dangerous. The well-powered RCT had somehow been transformed, for practical purposes, from the final arbiter of efficacy to the only arbiter. If preliminary evidence was no longer to have practical consequences, why bother with it at all? This was surely an example of what Prof. Simon calls "Poorly Implemented Evidence Based Medicine," but one that was also implemented by the very EBM experts who ought to have recognized the fallacy.
There will be more evidence for these assertions as we proceed, but the main thrust of Part II is to begin to respond to this statement from Prof. Simon: "There is some societal value in testing therapies that are in wide use, even though there is no scientifically valid reason to believe that those therapies work."

They were both bad turnovers in my opinion but Crawford had only 1 good quarter in the entire game and he also had 5 turnovers. Marburys shooting percentage was poor and I probably gave him too much credit but he still played hard and its only his second game back, give him some time. Hes looked better then I expected to this point and IM happy with his effort.
You are obviously a ***** if you gonna defend Crawford, Im not sure where you gettin this me comin after you with a gun stuff from, I dont know if you hopin for that or what. To me it was stupid to even bring that up. Jamal has one good quarter and he sucks the rest of the game, and he had 5 turnovers. You one of those dickriding fans, no matter what Crawford does wrong you gotta defend him. Get off his dick and watch a Knick game, study his lack of defense. Hes constantly lettin slower players go right by him and he always looks mad confused everytime sum1 sets a pick on him. I dont think we like the team, you must not watch the Knicks if you stick up for Crawnerd. Hop off his dick.
dogg, u entitled to ur own opinion.....and im entitled to my opinion.....i might like jamaal....who cares...u dont have nuthin to doo with ya life ay? u really actin like u is bleed erry month....my girl acts just like u....if i dont go with her opinion, she starts beatin her gums....just like u
Im not the one who defended Crawford, if thats not actin like a girl then I dont know what is. You gave me your opinion and I gave you mine so we all good?
I Don't Know Why Isiah Thinks The Best Way For Knicks To Win Ball Games Is When He Draws Isolation For Jc. Isiah Needs To Recognize That Steph Is The Best Penetrator And The Best Player On The Team. In Other For The Knicks To Be Successful, The Ball Has To Be In His Hand At The End Of The Games. He Is Also Effective With The Pick And Roll. Isiah Trusts Jamal So Much That Even When He Has An Off Night, He Plays 35 To 40 Minutes Which I Keep Wondering Why In The Hell Does Jamal All Ways Have The Ball During Crunch Time. This Tells Me That Isiah Is A Terrible Coach Because All Teams Have Different Plays They Normally Run But The Knicks Don't Know What Play To Run, One Game They Feed The Big Men, The Next Game Its Isolation For Jamal Crawford. I Am A Marbury Fan And I Will Always Be A Marbury Fan Cos I Know The Kind Of Player He Is And Its Unfortunate How The Media Treats Him.

There have been several programs that have touched me very deeply, even to the point of tears."

Carnival of Madness Tour
The Rave – Milwaukee, WI
Evanescence was back at the Rave last night in Milwaukee. It felt like Amy Lee and the band were just there a couple months ago, when in actuality it's almost been a year. The band took Gossip Girl's Taylor Momsen's group, The Pretty Reckless, on tour as an opening act. This fall Evanescence hit the road with Halestorm, Chevelle, Cavo, and New Medicine on the Carnival of Madness Tour.
Ever since the band announced the release of their third studio album, the band has been on the road and hit some of the major rock festivals this summer. The band even performed at the Nobel Peace Prize concert in Oslo, Norway in January. Last night Evanescene returned to the Rave before they embark on their UK leg of the current tour.

For death metal I've got this situated between Benighted and Obscura - more popular bands for sure, but Mitochondrion definitely know how to mix modern and old school death metal. It's brutal, technical, atmospheric, grimy, catchy, everything good that death metal fans look for in a death metal album.
The rating does this album justice for sure. It's easily worth a 9+ rating.
Written by Dangerboner on 05.06.2011 at 21:04
I gave it a 7 for now, but I definitely plan on revisiting it
Written by Death To Posers on 05.06.2011 at 21:01
I agree with the rating, this is definitely one of my favorite albums of the year so far.

I agree with the rating, this is definitely one of my favorite albums of the year so far.
I would like to add some very interesting infos about the album which I could not fit into the review:
1. Play Track 1- 0.02 Sec- The vocal utters a word like "VISHNU" or may be "WISHNU" i cant make out what he exactly utters however you will notice at Track 11(hidden track)- 8.03 Sec exact words are uttered which is the very end of the album. The album starts and ends with same fashion.
2. Play Track 1- 3.52 Sec, a riff starts which continues to track 2 upto 0.45 Sec. Track 2 Starts In Track 1.
3. Track 3 is also a continuation of Track 2 in which vocals kick in
4. Track 4 is also continuation of Track 3 and at Track 4, 0.18 Sec, the guitar notes pattern [ palm muted heavily on track 3 than track 4] are same to Track 3's end portion. Track 3 ends at Track 4's 0.56 Sec. Then on you see the song completely changes to a different direction and Track 4 begins.
5. Then likewise Track 5 is continuation of Track 6 and 7 is from 6.
6. At Track 7, 6.12 Sec there is a pause, its a bit too much long pause for a breakdown, may be the track 7 ends there, track 8 starts then in Track 7.
7. Track 8 is not entirely instrument cause Vocals are used as another instrument, play at 2.25 sec you can hear vocals.
8. Through Track 9,10,11 vocals can be heard as an ambient instrument.

UPDATE 2014-12-30: Added link to Emacs beginner resources UPDATE 2013-09-23: New, much larger version - see below! UPDATE 2013-06-01: Here's a zoomable, pannable version thanks to MapLib!Here's version 2 (September 2013). You can print this at 16.5"x10.75" at 300dpi. Have an ordinary printer? Check out PosteRazor!
Original post from May 2013: I thought I'd draw a one-page guide for some of the things that people often ask me about or that would help people learn Emacs (and enjoy it). You can click on the image for a larger version that you can scroll through or download. It should print all right on 8.5x11" paper (landscape) if you want to keep it around as a reminder. Might even work at 11x17". =) You can find the image on Imgur and Flickr too. If you're completely new to Emacs, start with these Emacs beginner resources. If you're comfortable with Emacs and you want to learn Emacs Lisp, check out my Read Lisp, Tweak Emacs series. For more Emacs inspiration, check out Planet Emacsen. Feel free to share, reuse, or modify this under the Creative Commons Attribution Licence. Enjoy! Possibly counterintuitive point: if you're a developer or system administrator, t's good to learn at least the basics of Vim. Despite the perception of a "Emacs vs. Vi" holy war (one of the classic battles in computer science), it makes sense to know both editors especially if you work with people who use Vi a lot. Know enough Vi to find your way around, and then learn how to customize Emacs to fit you to a tee. That way, you'll avoid the pressure of not being able to work well with your team or your infrastructure, and you'll have the space to explore Emacs. =) Emacs is totally awesome. Need help with Emacs? Feel free to leave a comment or get in touch with me. I'm often in the #emacs channel on irc.freenode.net , and I also occasionally schedule time to help people one-on-one. Also, the Emacs community (mailing lists, newsgroups, IRC channel) can be wonderful, so definitely reach out to them too. =) Meta discussion: How can I make this even better? What else would you like me to draw a guide for? I'd love to hear your thoughts! Also, thanks to dash, nicferrier, fledermaus, ijp, hypnocat, Fuco, macrobat, taylanub, axrfnu, Sebboh, thorkill, jave_, jrm, and the rest of #emacs for suggestions and feedback! Update 2013-05-18: Check out the conversations on Hacker News and Reddit!

I guess I have two questions about nursing my 15 month old daughter.
Currently, she nurses anywhere between 2-4 times a day (morning and bed time and for naps if I'm around. If I'm working, she is fine napping with water/milk/nothing at all). She also eats a variety of other foods, yogurt and cheese included, but almost no cow's milk.
Now after reading posts where people say they are still nursing their toddler 8-10 times a day or more, I'm really confused. My daughter definitely doesn't want to nurse that often, she seems too busy playing or eating other stuff. She only occasionally wakes up to nurse at night (like now, when she is teething I think). But is this enough? Is she getting enough nutrition especially as she doesn't drink cow's milk much?
My second question is, is it ok to diet intensively at this stage? I was careful not to diet through the first year because I didn't want to risk affecting my supply but I am desperate to get rid of the excess weight I'm still carrying around. I'm so done with it and want to be thin again. Can I diet and exercise intensively (I would eat healthy, not crazy), w/o risking my supply now?
Thanks for any advice/help!

Kavanagh, Defense Lead U.S. U19 Team in Texas Win
by Corey McLaughlin | LaxMagazine.com | Twitter | Related: Men's U19 Team Page
Team USA goaltenders Conor Kelly (above) and Zach
Oliveri backed a stingy defense that allowed only four goals in an
exhibition game win over a group of Dallas all-stars Saturday night
at Five Star Park in The Colony, Texas.
Typically, when a player says there was some "back-and-forth" out on the field, he or she means there was some not-so-nice jawing between opposing teams. Not the case Saturday night in Texas when the U.S. Men's National Under-19 team scrimmaged a group of Dallas-area all-stars.
"There was a lot of back-and-forth, a lot of teaching," Team USA defenseman Stephen Jahelka said. "They were sharing experiences with us, guys from SMU [Southern Methodist University] and guys from the high schools. Instead of feeling bad for themselves, like they may have been at a disadvantage playing us, they greeted the opportunity with an open mind, did what they could and learned from what we had to say. It was really nice to see."
Of course, the U.S. had its own learning to do -- this was the first time members of the team played together since tryouts in June -- but they already proved to be a worthy group to pick up tips from. Team USA rolled to a 26-4 victory in the exhibition game, held in conjunction with the Dick's Lone Star Shootout at Five Star Park in The Colony, Texas.
Attackman Matt Kavanagh scored six goals and assisted on three others, attackman Connor Buczek also scored six times, midfielder Tyler Barbarich won 13 of 17 faceoffs he took, and goaltenders Zach Oliveri and Conor Kelly backed up a defense that allowed only four goals.
"I think we dominated all aspects of the game," said U.S. attackman Danny Eipp, a sophomore at Harvard, who scored two goals and had three assists. "The defense was the most impressive. We really shut them down. It was their tenacity, we really didn't let them do anything with the ball. They didn't really know what to do."
"Everyone came in well-conditioned. We were able to press out all over the field and show that we had athletes on the defensive end," said Jahelka, Eipp's Harvard teammate and a Crimson freshman defenseman. "The other big key was the middies. Sometimes you don't get middies playing defense. That maybe could be a possibility on a team with such offensive prowess. But the middies all came in and buckled down. Six guys played well as a unit."
That was the goal coming in, in a larger sense; getting the nation's best U19 players to play as one unit. The group gathered from around the country Thursday and had two days to practice and get to know each other before the exhibition Saturday night. The team also traveled to Cowboys Stadium in Dallas on Friday to watch some live Texas high school football playoff action, and was to hold a youth clinic for area player Sunday morning.
"We were anxiously awaiting this weekend since we made the team July 10," Jahelka said. "We all had an idea of who each other were, but right off the bat we came together and we all really connected really well. There are no groups on our team. Within the first couple days, we're all good buddies, hanging out together. I think it's really cool how we can all connect through lacrosse."
"We spent the whole first night talking, hanging out," Eipp said.
U.S. coach Tim Flynn was similarly impressed with how the team looked on the field.
"A lot of different kids looked like the kids that we picked in tryouts, and amplified that a little bit more with their performances tonight," Flynn said. "The entire team came together in a really nice way.
"The No. 1 thing was the desire and hustle the team showed, pretty much in every aspect. The attackmen were riding hard, everyone was going tough on ground balls. It didn't matter what the score was kids were looking for one another and pushing to make things happen."
And even teach a little bit along the way.

7-25-09 Canal Park
I decided to make a trip to Akron OH today. The reason was two fold. One, I found someone willing to part with 4th row Dave Matthews Band tickets. Two, the Altoona Curve (Pirates AA affiliate) were in Akron for a weekend series.
I began by visiting a hotel in Akron OH to buy the DMB tickets. I didn't buy the tickets off just any DMB fan. I bought them off a professional softball player. Her name was Nicole Trimboli, and she is one of the stand outs for the Chicago Bandits pro softball team. They had a series against Akron's pro softball team. If you're not a softball fan, you've probably heard of one of her teammates – widely regarded as the most popular softball player of all time – Jennie Finch.
I didn't meet Finch, but I met some of her teammates, one of whom I sold DMB tickets to.
Upon arriving at Canal Park, there was no batting practice, so I searched beyond the left field fence and found three baseballs.
One was a Major League Baseball, well used. (And no, it doesn't count in my official collection – only balls at MLB games do – regular and post season).
I then watched the Altoona Curve warm up, and snapped some photos of the Pittsburgh Pirates top prospects.
Jose Tabata stretching:
Gorkys Hernandez chats with his girlfriend:
Pedro Alvarez signs a baseball for me. That's right! I got him to sign an Arizona Fall League ball that I had with me.
During the game, we sat down the right field line, because all of the sections were basically empty. I was hoping to get a game ball. I wouldn't have to wait long.
Up stepped the #1 prospect in the Cleveland Indians system, Carlos Santana.
Santana had 117 RBI last year, and already has 70 RBI this year.
Santana dug into the box and lauched a deep fly ball to left field. It was a three run home run. The ball bounced off a concrete walkway behind the left field wall, took a huge hop into some trees and disappeared.
I didn't wait. I left the stadium and ran the entire way to the area behind the left field wall to claim the ball. I looked in the trees and the area behind the wall. I didn't see it. Then I checked the water.
There it was.
It was floating towards a 20 foot high water fall.
If I didn't act fast, the ball was a goner. It was about 15-20 feet from the falls when I got to the scene. I grabbed onto the railing, laid flat on my stomach and reached as far down as I could into the canal. I was just barely able to grab the ball.
It was a perfect Eastern League ball, what I had been after all day.
It was also my first game home run ball of the season. Although it won't count in my major league official stats, it's still a keeper.
Hopefully Carlos Santana becomes a star for the Indians in a year or two.
I stayed outside the park for an inning and a half, hoping to get another homer. (If I wanted to, I could watch the entire game outside the park for free, and have almost a 100% chance of getting any home runs that came out.)
I re-entered the park, buying the cheapest ticket.
A few action shots:
Jose Tabata
Pedro Alvarez (doing a Derek Jeter'esque time out request)
Pedro would take the next pitch deep. The ball cleared both bullpens and hit just below the scoreboard in right center field. It had to be about 450 feet or more. It was a bomb.
Alvarez congratulated at home plate:
Pedro Alvarez now has 20 HR and 70 RBI's this season.
The Pirates home run leader is Garett Jones with 10, and the RBI leader is Andy LaRoche with 37.
Needless to say, I can't wait until Pedro Alvarez is on the big league club.
Here's a look at today's baseballs:
And the sweet spots (I decided to number minor league baseballs in black ink. I do all baseballs obtained at MLB games in blue ink)

Way to go!! Can't wait to read the story. It was nice that the sight got mentioned in the story. Too bad your name didn't get mentioned in the article. It would be nice to get mentioned. I'm getting tired of seeing the same couple of names getting mentioned in EVERY article. Apparently there are only two ballhawks in America according to the press.
When do you think Pedro Alvarez will be in Pittsburgh?
I think by this time next season or closer to end of next season.
It would've been nice to have had my name mentioned, but at least there was some degree of recognition.
If I had to make a wager on it, I would say Alvarez will be up in Pittsburgh in early/mid June of 2010 – just like they did with McCutchen.
This is starting to get interesting…Santana now has tied an Akron record by homering in his fourth straight game.
great pics! canal park is a great place. this is the only year i did not make it out there to see the curve play the aeroes. glad you were there to catch a glimpse of our future stars

When driving through a tourist destination, one thing that clearly bugs consultant Ben Syden is when he is about to come upon a scenic overlook or river access point and there is no advance warning. He and other drivers are likely to blow right by the attraction and miss it altogether. Syden said he had several such experiences when driving along the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway, better known as Route 97.
There's an easy fix: place a sign about a quarter mile ahead of such attractions in both directions. It was one of the many suggestions put forward by Syden, of the Laberge Group, and by three other consultants, from Synthesis LLP, during a two-day tour and examination of the Upper Delaware River Corridor, which included two meetings with the public on July 31 and August 1 at the Hortonville Firehouse.
Other signage issues played a big role in the conversation. Consultant Mary Moore Wallinger suggested that it might be a good idea if signs were placed on the bridges that span the river, regarding location, so that people floating down the river might know where they are. Also, she said it might be a good idea to place educational signage at each river access point to identify what kind of wildlife might be spotted at the location. She noted that, at the Lordville access, her team spotted a beaver in the river.
She added that there should be consistency of signage along the river corridor. She said, "If you think about a lot of the great river corridors, the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon or the New River Gorge in West Virginia, they're really good at playing up the history and the geology and the biology and there are all these different layers that together tell really interesting stories. And I think, when you have such a linear place or linear experience, having those things that link all the different places is really key."
Wallinger's colleague Ian Law picked up on the theme. While showing a slide of an overlook spot, he said, "These overlooks and access points, these are the spots for information. These are the things that are going to link us throughout the whole trip; they're going to teach us about history, art and culture on the site. What am I looking at across the river—what was the history on the other side?"
At that point, a woman in the audience interrupted and said, "There was a civil war train wreck there."
Then, underscoring Law's point, Syden interjected, "We were there, and we didn't know that."
Law continued, "There's lots of history, whether it's the [Delaware and Hudson Canal] tow path, or the bridge, all these things, we can learn a tremendous amount about them and we can also learn about the corridor in general. Where am I right now? What's next; what are the next stops along the way? And even right down to within the hamlets, what are the businesses that are there?"
The two-day charette was part of a larger waterfront revitalization plan that is currently underway in the river corridor.
Corwin Farm
One new attraction that may eventually be added to the list of places for the public to visit in the Upper Delaware River Corridor is the Corwin Farm, located on the river, near Pond Eddy. National Park Service Superintendent Sean McGuinness said that the NPS is now using the facility as a park station but is considering opening it to the public. If that happens, it could be used for launching canoes or rafts.
Also, there are remains of the D&H Canal towpath and a lock that could be visited, and a barn that dates probably back to the 1840s has been renovated and could be put to a variety of uses.
Law said, "It has built-in scenic overlooks, it has built-in river access, and it has built-in connectivity to the tow path. It's a really exciting opportunity."
McGuinness said if the plan clears the various regulatory hurdles, NPS would be seeking an organization to take over maintenance of the house on the farm in exchange for the use of the facility.

USC stuns No. 5 Stanford 20-17 on late field goalThe Associated Press | November 17,2013AP Photo
Stanford cornerback Wayne Lyons almost intercepts a pass intended for Southern California wide receiver Nelson Agholor during the first half of Saturdays game in Los Angeles.LOS ANGELES Andre Heidari kicked a 47-yard field goal with 19 seconds to play, and Southern Californias stalwart defense repeatedly came up big in a 20-17 victory over No. 5 Stanford on Saturday night.
Cody Kessler passed for 288 yards for the revitalized Trojans (8-3, 5-2 Pac-12), who earned their fifth win in six games under interim coach Ed Orgeron.
USCs remarkable defensive performance included two fourth-quarter interceptions against the powerful Cardinal (8-2, 6-2), who followed up last weeks win over Oregon by getting knocked out of the national title chase and maybe the Rose Bowl race as well.
After the inconsistent Heidaris field goal and Stanfords final play, USC fans stormed the Coliseum field, where Stanford had won in its last three trips.
Heidari nearly lost his job twice this season, and he missed an extra point in the first quarter. But the junior coolly nailed the tiebreaking field goal and then got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for running the length of the field to celebrate it.
Soma Vainuku caught an early TD pass and Javorius Allen rushed for a score for USC, which didnt score in the second half until Heidaris kick. Nelson Agholor had eight catches for 104 yards, while Marqise Lee had six catches for 83 yards and both receivers made big plays on USCs final drive.
Tyler Gaffney rushed for 158 yards and two touchdowns for Stanford. Kevin Hogan went 14 of 25 for 127 yards, but the Cardinal couldnt regain the lead after trailing at half, despite repeatedly getting close.
After trailing 17-10 at halftime, Stanford calmly tied it with Gaffneys 18-yard TD run on the first drive of the third quarter. USCs offense struggled throughout the second half, but the Trojans thin defense kept it close despite using just two substitutes for most of the night.
Dion Bailey intercepted Hogans third-down pass at the USC 6 with about 10½ minutes to play, killing what seemed certain to be Stanfords go-ahead drive. Sua Cravens then intercepted a tipped pass at the USC 44 with 3 minutes to play, giving another chance to the Trojans offense.
After Lee caught a 13-yard slant pass over midfield on fourth-and-2, the Trojans reached the Stanford 21 before two straight yardage-losing plays pushed them back to the 30 and Heidari still nailed his kick.
Under the lights at the sold-out Coliseum, Stanford betrayed a few nerves early. The Cardinal burned two timeouts and committed an illegal-snap penalty on the games first drive, and Ty Montgomery dropped two passes in the opening minutes.
USCs opening drive was smooth, with Lee making a tiptoe sideline catch before Vainuku came out of the backfield for a play-action 1-yard TD catch just 6:13 in.
Gaffney scored on a 35-yard run moments later when he popped out the back of a scrimmage pile and sprinted past the slumbering USC defense, but the Trojans answered with another long drive capped by Allens 1-yard TD run and a 2-point conversion catch by Lee.
Kessler was outstanding in the pocket and on the run, completing 10 straight early passes before Heidaris field goal put the Trojans up by 10 points early in the second quarter. Stanford added a field goal with 17 seconds left the first half.
After Gaffney capped a 92-yard drive with his TD run up the middle, Stanford forced a fumble by Kessler at the USC 19, but the Cardinals field goal attempt was blocked.
Stanford is USCs oldest rival in a series dating back to 1905. The Cardinal had never won four straight in the series before the last four meetings.
Former Stanford lineman Jonathan Martin watched the game from the sideline in a backward Cardinal cap.
ARLINGTON, Texas Bryce Petty threw three touchdown passes and ran for two more as No. 4 Baylor stayed undefeated, overcoming its first double-digit deficit of the season in a 63-34 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday night.
The Bears (9-0, 6-0), even without several key offensive players, stretched their school-record winning streak to 13 games. They are the outright Big 12 leader after No. 23 Texas absorbed its first conference loss earlier in the day, and are one of six undefeated FBS teams.
Shock Linwood, effectively the Bears third-string running back, ran 29 times for 187 yards and a touchdown while Devin Chafin, another redshirt freshman, had 11 carries for 100 yards and two TDs. Levi Norwood had TD catches of 40 and 58 yards, and also returned a punt 58 yards for a score.
Texas Tech (7-4, 4-4) lost its fourth straight game since a 7-0 start for first-year coach Kliff Kingsbury, who was the Red Raiders starting quarterback when Baylor coach Art Briles was the running backs coach at Tech from 2000-02.
Baylor played its first game since Briles this week got a new 10-year contract through the 2023 season, and was down 14-0 after 8 minutes before getting on a roll. The coach is in his sixth season with the Bears, who had 12 consecutive losing seasons since the inception of the Big 12 when he arrived.
Next week, the Bears play at No. 12 Oklahoma State (9-1, 6-1), which won 38-13 at Texas hours earlier.
And they have a chance to move a spot in the new BCS standings on Sunday. The Bears were fifth last week, behind Stanford which lost for the second time this season, 20-17 to Southern California on Saturday night.
Baylor played without its top two running backs, Big 12 rushing leader Lache Seastrunk (groin) and Glasco Martin (knee), and 103-yard-a-game receiver Tevin Reese. All got banged up in the Bears 41-12 win over Oklahoma nine nights earlier, Reese the most serious with a dislocated right wrist that required surgery and will force him to miss at least the rest of the regular season.
The Bears still surpassed their FBS-best scoring average of 61 points that was already on pace to break a major college scoring record. They had 675 total yards, only 11 below their nations best average.
Petty was 17-of-31 passing for 335 yards, and put Baylor ahead to stay when he hit wide-open Antwan Goodley for a 31-yard TD pass and a 21-20 lead with 4 seconds left in the first quarter. Goodleys Big 12-best 11th TD catch came immediately after K.J. Morton intercepted a pass.
Baker Mayfield, starting as Techs quarterback for the first time since its fifth game, completed 28 of 51 passes for 314 yards and four touchdowns. His only pick came when he threw a pass right into the chest of the leaping Morton.
Bears kicker Aaron Jones became the NCAA career leader for extra points with nine more, pushing his career mark to 260. The previous record was the 253 by Art Carmody of Louisville from 2004-07, which Jones passed with his three in the first quarter. Jones has made 175 in a row, the NCAAs longest active streak.
Texas Tech led 14-0 after standout tight end Jace Amaro had touchdown catches on the Red Raiders first two drives. There was a 6-yard TD on a halfback pass from Kenny Williams on the 15th play of a game-opening 75-yard drive before Amaro got wide open for a 20-yard score from Mayfield the next time they had the ball.
Amaro took a crushing hit from Ahmad Dixon while holding on for an 18-yard catch to the 4, two plays before Mayfields 3-yard TD to Jakeem Grant with 4:28 left in the first half got the Red Raiders within 28-27.
After staying down on the field for several minutes, Amaro got up and walked to the sideline on his own power, though slowly. He did get back in the game, but didnt have another catch. He finished with four catches for 55 yards.
NO. 7 AUBURN 43, No. 25 GEORGIA 38
COLUMBIA, S.C. Steve Spurrier saw a couple of endings he really liked Saturday night.
The South Carolina coach and all 83,853 people at jam-packed Williams-Brice Stadium watched the final dramatic moments of No. 7 Auburns 43-38 victory over No. 25 Georgia on the 124-foot tall video board that kept the Gamecocks in the race for a Southeastern Conference title.
Then Spurrier watched his team rally in the second half behind Elliott Frys field goals to overcome Floridas SEC-leading defense for a 19-14 victory, setting a school record with its 16th straight home win.
What a game that was, good gracious. Sort of a Hail Mary ball, ricocheting around, he caught it, Spurrier said of Auburns tipped-ball touchdown. I guess thats why people watch football on television for games like they had. Ours was pretty interesting, too.
Now, South Carolina (8-2, 6-2) will cross its fingers and hope that SEC East leader Missouri stumbles at Ole Miss next Saturday or against Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M on Nov. 30 to send the Gamecocks to their second SEC title game since 2010.
South Carolina finishes with FCS opponent Coastal Carolina and rival Clemson at home, attempting to build on its school-record 16-game home win streak
Maybe something biggers going to happen for us down the road, I dont know, Spurrier said. Well watch Missouri from a distance and get ready for Coastal (Carolina.)
Fry made field goals of 25, 45, 22 and 43 yards. Bruce Ellington had the Gamecocks lone touchdown, a 32-yard grab from Connor Shaw on fourth down to cut Floridas 14-6 halftime lead to one point.
South Carolinas defense, scorched by the Florida run game in the opening half, tightened up in the second half to send the Gators to their fifth straight loss, their longest such streak since losing nine in a row during the 0-10-1 debacle of 1979.
The Gamecocks (8-2, 6-2 Southeastern Conference) struggled to score points against the Gators SEC-leading defense until Fry gave them a 16-14 lead with a 22-yard field goal with 6:43 remaining.
Trailing 19-14, Gators freshman quarterback Skyler Mornhinweg led the Gators into South Carolina territory but was intercepted by Jimmy Legree to end the threat.The Gamecocks win surpassed the 15 straight the program won at home from 1978-80 when Heisman Trophy winner George Rogers was leading the way. South Carolinas 16 straight in its home stadium is longest current streak in the country.
But Florida sure looked ready to end it the way it played in the first half. Without injured starting quarterback Tyler Murphy, the Gators successfully went to the run. They ran for 169 yards in the opening half and Kelvin Taylor had rushing TDs of 20 and 29 yards, the two longest permitted by South Carolina this season.
The Gamecocks defense tightened up in a big way in the second half as Florida managed just 31 rushing yards.
South Carolinas rally began on Shaws 32-yard scoring pass to Bruce Ellington to cut the lead to 14-13 before Frys two fourth-quarter field goals provided the final margin.
We kept ourselves alive, Shaw said. Im proud of our guys for battling back. You cant count us out at Williams-Brice.
Florida had its chances. The Gators to South Carolinas 8 after the Gamecocks touchdown, yet Austin Hardin missed a 32-yard field goal.
Florida tried a fake punt play on fourth-and-13 and trailing 16-14, but Trey Burtons pass to defensive lineman Leon Orr was knocked away with 4:40 remaining.
Shon Carson ran for 102 yards, including a 58-yard burst on South Carolinas drive that led to Frys go-ahead field goal.
Murphys sore shoulder kept him from the field despite rehabbing throughout the week. The Gators were also minus starting cornerback Marcus Roberson, who the team said was suspended for violating team rules.
Still, Floridas defense and made life miserable for Shaw, SEC leading rusher Mike Davis and the Gamecocks.
South Carolina had first-and-goal on the 5 on its opening drive, yet settled for Frys 25-yard field goal. The Gamecocks were deep in Florida territory the next time they had the ball and again were held to a field goal.
Florida came in last in overall offense and next-to-last in rushing at 146 yards a game on the ground this season. But Taylor and Mack Brown burst through several open holes as the Gators put up 169 yards rushing in the first half.
Florida did its best not to overwhelm Mornhinweg, whose father Marty is the offensive coordinator of the New York Jets, in his first college action. Burton, a receiver, ran the wildcat formation and the Gators ran 22 of 24 plays.
Mornhinweg was 10 of 13 for 107 yards with an interception.
Davis, who came in with 1,058 yards, ran for just 58 his second fewest in a game this season.
The loss put a capper on a tumultuous week for Florida. Coach Will Muschamp received support from athletic director Jeremy Foley and university President Bernie Machen against program critics. The Gators will have to win their final two games against Georgia Southern and No. 2 Florida State or theyll miss the postseason for the first time since 1990 when NCAA issues held them back.
We have a lot of negativity out there and these guys pulled together and showed what those guys are about, said Muschamp, who had the fingers bandaged and bloodied on his right hand after hitting a chalk board in frustration. We needed to make some plays. The bottom is winning and we didnt do it. Thats on me.MORE IN Wire SportsORLANDO, Fla. Full StoryOXON HILL, Md. Wade Davis already had closed out a World Series.

Consider buying Caribou Coffee's Amy's Blend for instance. From sales of the special blend, which combines citrus and melon flavors, the company will donate 10 percent of the proceeds to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Or you could help the effort while showering every morning. Proceeds from Crabtree & Evelyn's Pink Collection, which includes rosewater infused lotions, shower gels, soaps and more, is designed to help the company reach its goal of donating $20,000 in October to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
And then there's that yogurt snack. Yoplait's "Save Lids to Save Lives" campaign donates 10 cents to Susan G. Komen for the Cure for every yogurt lid turned in. The effort is expected to raise up to $2 million this year and has a raised a total of $30 million since it began.
Speaking of money ...
No. 2: Hold your own fundraiser
Every little bit donated to the cause helps, but why stop with just donating your own money?
There are plenty of ways for you to organize your own fundraiser in order to multiply your own efforts and spread even more awareness.
You could take the traditional approach of bake sales, car washes and spaghetti dinners, or you could try something a little more unique. For five unique ideas you may have never considered before, check out our top five suggestions here.
And what do you do once you've got the funds raised? Pick a respected, established nonprofit charity that speaks to you personally. Some suggestions include the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Living Beyond Breast Cancer, the National Breast Cancer Foundation, the Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization and the aforementioned Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization.
There are plenty of other organizations out there worthy of your support. Visit Charity Navigator, an independent nonprofit that evaluates and rates charities, to find a charity you can trust.
Last up, what's more valuable than money?
No. 1: Volunteer your time
Money is essential to funding research for finding a cure for breast cancer, but you can also make a big difference by giving of your time.
There are many charities out there seeking a little extra help in making a difference in the lives of those dealing with breast cancer.
Start with the American Cancer Society, which has several programs that put volunteers to work. Contact your local chapter to see what services might need your help.
Consider, for example, the Road to Recovery program, which provides transportation to and from treatment for people who have cancer who do not have a ride or are unable to drive themselves.
Volunteer drivers donate their time and the use of their cars so that patients can receive the life-saving treatments they need.
Or, if you have office skills, you can donate your services to local breast cancer support groups that could use your help. And if you happen to have cosmetology skills, Look Good ... Feel Better, is always seeking volunteers to help teach women how to deal with hair loss, as well as take care of skin and nails during treatment.

Former La Crosse mayor to run for office again
Eight years after leaving the mayor's office, John Medinger said he's running for the seat once again.
On Wednesday, he told News 8 he will be formally announcing his candidacy for the open seat on Friday.
Medinger will only be the second mayor, at least in Wisconsin, to run again after leaving office.
UW-La Crosse political science professor Joe Heim said that just might work to Medinger's advantage.
"All in all, I think he starts off with a big advantage with name identification, and simply, his generally very positive image in the area," said Heim.
Medinger served as La Crosse's mayor for two terms, from 1997 to 2005.
While his time in office got off to a rocky start, Heim said leadership during his second term is what has defined his legacy as mayor.
"He did some things, for example, with the budget, that gave the executive a little more influence and authority over things in City Hall that overall got him some pretty positive marks," said Heim.
But Heim said we shouldn't be too quick to call the mayor's race already.
Current city council member Chris Olson has also decided to run for the open seat.
"When Mayor (Matt) Harter decided not to run (again), I think that decision made it a little bit easier because it's always hard to take out an incumbent," said Olson.
Olson said he's thought about running for a while, and already has a rough idea of things he'd like to accomplish as mayor.
"I liked the fact that Mayor Harter was fiscally responsible and I'll continue with that," said Olson. "There has been a divide in the city and I think people can see that that are familiar with the situation, and I would like to correct that and get people to work together."
Heim said now with Olson in the running, the dynamics of the race have changes, and he expects it will be an interesting race in the spring.
"He's 'current' in the sense that he's part of the city council," said Heim. "[He] knows what's going on [and] he knows current issues very clearly. "I would think that both of them would be considered somewhat frontrunners at this point simply because they both come from pretty strong backgrounds."
Other candidates in the race include former Washburn Neighborhood Association president Randy Magno and Randall Czapiewski. The election is in April.
Former La Crosse Mayor John Medinger is running for the seat again.
Medinger told News 8 he will formally announce his candidacy on Friday afternoon.
Medinger was first elected mayor of La Crosse in 1997. He served two terms before leaving the office in 2005, saying he was tired physically and mentally.
Current Mayor Matt Harter announced last month he won't seek re-election.
So far two candidates have declared they're running for Mayor: Randy Magno and Randall Czapiewski.
The election is in April.

Two men were shot and another is in custody after a shooting in Sheboygan Falls.
Police say two 19-year-old Milwaukee men went to an apartment Monday to help a 21-year-old Sheboygan Falls woman retrieve personal items after a domestic violence incident with her boyfriend last week.
Sheboygan Falls Police Chief Steve Riffel says a fight then broke out with the 27-year-old boyfriend. The boyfriend allegedly shot both men in the leg, then followed the group outside and continued to shoot.
The two Milwaukee men were taken to a hospital. One is now in police custody for his role in the fight while the other is scheduled for surgery.
The Sheboygan Press reports the suspect was treated for facial injuries and is now in jail. The woman was not hurt.
Three people are hurt and another is in custody after a shooting in Sheboygan Falls.
Police Chief Steve Riffel tells The Sheboygan Press police responded to an eight-unit apartment building about 6 a.m. Monday after a physical fight between three men and a woman spilled out into a parking lot.
Riffel says gunshots were fired both inside and outside the apartment building. Three men were taken to area hospitals, two with gunshot wounds to the leg, and the third with unspecified injuries.
Riffel says the shooting suspect was arrested at the scene. He says a woman is also being questioned by police.

BSC Enters The Home Depot "Retool Your School" Campus Enhancement Grant Competition
CreatedThursday, February 14 2013

BSC has submitted three grants for consideration in The Home Depot "Retool Your School" 2013 competition, and votes are being received in support of the grant application through April 15, 2013.
More than 90 Historically Black Colleges and Universities submitted proposals in last year's competition and more are expected to compete in this year's event. Selection of the winning grants will be based in part on the merit of each grant, and in part on the votes cast for each participating institution of higher education.
One vote per day per computer is permitted. The website for online voting is: http://retoolyourschool.com/ or voters can cast online votes by visiting the Bluefield State College website at http://bluefieldstate.edu
BSC's Major Project ($50,000) grant application involves the development of a series of instructional "How-to" videos related to utilizing material from The Home Depot for gardening, ecology, and outdoor projects. These videos will be developed while projects like tree and flower planting, environmentally friendly gardening, and patio construction are taking place on campus. The Campus Pride Project ($25,000) grant application focuses upon the installation of campus lighting, including solar and battery powered lights in and around campus buildings, to line sidewalks, etc., and the Minor Project ($10,000) grant application concentrates upon landscaping projects at selected locations throughout the campus.

"Your daily vote for Bluefield State College could make the difference!"

Miraculous monarchs
October 13, 2011 —
First-grade students at George Ross Mackenzie Elementary School in Glen Spey, NY recently experienced the miraculous life cycle of the monarch butterfly. Teachers Kelly Robertson and Shari VanHage collected eight caterpillars to kick off the hands-on learning experience.
The students fed the black, yellow and white-striped caterpillars their favorite food—milkweed leaves—and observed their daily growth. They saw the caterpillars form J-hooks before becoming beautiful jade-colored chrysalides. After a few weeks, the excited first graders witnessed them emerge with crumpled wet wings. Once the wings were dry, the students went outside and released them.
"I liked when we let the butterflies go," said student Kristen Amoroso. "I liked to watch them fly away," agreed Patrick Adams. "I learned that when the butterflies go off, they lay eggs," observed Brialyn Sobolewski.
The project follows New York State Common Core Learning Standards in Science—to explore how living things change over their lifetimes and to identify the simple life process common to all living things. The students read books such as "The Hungry Little Caterpillar," "I'm a Caterpillar" and "Caterpillar Spring Butterfly Summer" in preparing for the experience.
"The students really enjoyed and benefited from learning about the life cycle of the butterfly," said Robertson. "I believe they were able to understand each stage of the life cycle more clearly because they watched the caterpillars and butterflies with their own eyes."

Here are some interesting facts about cigarette smoking in the U.S.
Take a look at these facts about cigarette smoking in the U.S., based on 2013 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The percentage of adults who were smokers in 2013:
20.5 percent men
15.3 percent women
The race/ethnic group in America that smoked the most in 2013 was American Indian/Alaska Native, with 26.1 percent, although the rate among those people who identified as "multiple races (non-Hispanic)" was a little higher at 26.8 percent. Those people of an Asian background were the least likely to smoke, with only 9.6 percent.
The majority of adults who smoked in 2013 were between the ages of 25 and 44.
Only 5.6 percent of smokers are adults with postgraduate college degrees, the least likely educational level to be smokers, followed by those with an undergraduate degree at 9.1 percent. The educational level most likely to smoke as of 2013 was those with a GED, at 41.4 percent.
A total of 29.2 percent of smokers in 2013 were adults who live below the poverty level.
The state with the most smokers is Kentucky, with 30.2 percent of the adult population smoking as of 2013.
The state with the lowest rate of smokers, according to 2013 data, is Utah, with 12.2 percent of adults reporting they are smokers.
Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, accounting for more than 480,000 deaths, or nearly one of every five deaths, in the United States each year.
In addition, smoking-related illness in the United States costs more than $300 billion a year, including nearly $170 billion in direct medical care for adults and $156 billion in lost productivity.

The latest threat issued by North Korea Tuesday mentions Hawaii by name, but Asia-Pacific security experts say the rogue nation has little chance of striking The Aloha State with even its most sophisticated missile, the Taepodong II.
"Our missiles, we measure their accuracy in feet," said Ralph Cossa, president of the Pacific Forum Center for Strategic and International Studies. "North Korea's missile has about a 100-kilometer accuracy, so it's a pretty good chance they can hit the ocean."
North Korea's military said it had placed its rocket and artillery units on high alert, as the United States conducts training exercises with South Korean forces below the 38th Parallel.
In a statement, the North Korean army's Supreme Command said units are "assigned to strike bases of the U.S. imperialist aggressor troops in the U.S. mainland and on Hawaii and Guam and other operational zones in the Pacific as well as all the enemy targets in South Korea and its vicinity."
Denny Roy of the East-West Center said North Korea has failed to carry out threats in the past, and the latest statement follows a well-established pattern.
"They've threatened to destroy Seoul several times over," said Roy. "They've threatened to destroy other cities on the U.S. mainland, but they don't at the moment have the capability to directly threaten Hawaii."
The White House responded to the latest provocation by saying Pyongyang is only isolating itself further from the international community. Earlier this month, North Korea threatened a preemptive nuclear strike against the U.S.
"North Korea's bellicose rhetoric and the threats that they engage in follow a pattern designed to raise tensions and intimidate others," White House spokesman Jay Carney, said Tuesday. "And as we say consistently, the DPRK will achieve nothing by these threats or provocations, which will only further isolate North Korea and undermine international efforts to ensure peace and stability in Northeast Asia."
Carney urged North Korea to comply with its international obligations and "to heed President Obama's call to choose the path of peace."
Cossa believes the real threat from North Korea is to its neighbors, in particular South Korea and Japan. Some experts estimate Pyongyang can lob as many as 10,000 conventional shells and rockets at Seoul every hour. But even if cross-border tensions were to escalate into war, any conflict would likely be short-lived.
"Once they fire the first shot, then you have to expect a rain of iron coming down on them from South Korea and the United States, so at the end of the day, they lose," said Cossa.
Roy said the North Korean end game could be to bolster Kim Jong-Un's leadership, the 30-year-old son of former dictator Kim Jong-Il, who died in 2011.
"It's possible that there's strong pressure on him to gain legitimacy by proving to be tougher than perhaps his father," said Roy. "He's in more of precarious position than his father."
The North Korean threat against Hawaii and other U.S. military sites came on the third anniversary of the sinking of a South Korean warship, which killed 46 sailors. South Korea claims the Cheonan was destroyed by a North Korean torpedo, but Pyongyang has consistently denied those claims.
North Korea still lacks capability to strike Hawaii
The latest threat issued by North Korea Tuesday mentions Hawaii by name, but Asia-Pacific security experts say the rogue nation has little chance of striking The Aloha State with even its most sophisticated missile, the Taepodong II.
