Quote from Regan Smith on last night's accident with Danica:
"It was my fault, no excuses on my end. After I made contact with Danica's car, I radioed my spotter to relay a message to her spotter that I was sorry and know the apology doesn't make it any better. She was running a great race and I don't blame her for being madder than a hornet because I was in the same position a week ago in Michigan (when I was wrecked)."

Large and Long Programs - Frequently Asked Questions
1. What instruments are available for LLPs?
Any currently commissioned instruments are available for LPs. In the North, this includes GMOS-N, GNIRS, and NIFS. NIRI is not available for LLPs as the observatory cannot commit to the long-term availability of the instrument. NIR imaging is possible using GNIRS. GRACES will not be available to LLPs for the current call for proposals. In the South, GMOS-S, GPI, and Flamingos-2 will be available for all semesters included in this call. GSAOI/GeMS is only available to LLPs for two years, through Semester 2018A. GPI NRM and Flamingos-2 MOS modes are not available for LLP proposals. Adaptive optics systems may be used (though be aware that laser operation is limited at both sites). Further information about instrument performance and scheduling in 2016B will be available in the general 2016B Call for Proposals.
2. Are visitor instruments available for LLPs?
Any instrument previously commissioned as a visiting instrument may be considered for a LLP. However, any LLP proposal to use a visitor instrument must have a commitment from the PI of the visitor instrument that the instrument will be available for use on Gemini during the lifetime of the LLP execution.
3. The last item of the proposal evaluation criteria contains "the extent to which the observations can be accommodated within routine Gemini operations." What are the limits on LLP proposals to not be negatively evaluated?
An individual LLP need not request a balanced program across North/South, RA range, observing conditions, etc. However, the ensemble of approved LLPs must not overly impinge on other observing programs. Therefore, the ensemble of approved LPs should not exceed 25% of any relevant parameter, such as hemisphere, RA range, and observing condition bins. See http://www.gemini.edu/sciops/telescopes-and-sites/observing-condition-constraints for further information on observing condition constraints.
For example, the best image quality, IQ20, in photometric conditions, CC50, only occurs approximately 10% of the time. For the total time available on Gemini South in 2014A, one would expect these conditions to occur for only ~100 hours during the semester.
4. What is the proprietary period for data obtained in a LLP?
Data obtained as part of an LLP shall have the standard proprietary period, 12 months from the date of an individual observation, although PIs are encouraged to consider a shorter proprietary period, or waiving it altogether.
5. How much time is available for these programs?
Up to 20% of the total time allocation from participating partners is available for LLPs. In 2016B, there are a maximum of 242 hours available for LLPs at Gemini North, and 213 hours available to LLPs at Gemini South. Note that existing LLPs will use nearly the entire LLP allocation for 2016B at Gemini South, leaving little-to-no time for new allocations. Nearly the full LLP allocation is available for both telescopes in 2017B and beyond.
Based on previous semesters, we expect to offer ~225 hours of LLP allocations for each semester The exact time available will depend on instrument commissioning, engineering, campaign science, etc. Existing LLP allocations will also reduce the time available to new LLPs and are provided in the table below.
|2016B LLPs
|2017A LLPs
|2017B LLPs
|2018A LLPs
|~185 hours
|~180 hours
|0 hours
|0 hours
|~208 hours
|~122 hours
|~20 hours
|~20 hours
6. Will only one LLP be approved each year?
There is no set limit on the number of LLPs that may be approved each year. Our expectation is that multiple programs will be approved, provided they are scientifically compelling.
7. Why is there a restriction on LLP PIs, leaving out astronomers from Brazil and Chile?
Brazil and Chile elected not to participate in these Gemini LLPs at this time, a decision confirmed at the Board level.
8. Does a proposal need to have "added value" beyond the science results to be successful?
No, a successful proposal does not need to have added value beyond the scientific results. This is merely one of the criteria by which all proposals will be judged (See Section 2.3). A statement on added value, even if only to acknowledge there is none, is required by all proposals.
9. Will LLPs be subject to review by the National TAC of the PI?
No. LLP proposals will only be reviewed by the LPTAC. However, there may be overlap between a partner's National TAC and their representation on the LPTAC.
10. Who will select the members of the LPTAC?
The LPTAC will have 9 'partner' members, six from the US, two from Canada, and one from Argentina. These members are nominated by the corresponding designated Gemini Board members, or their delegates, and approved by the Gemini Director. Additional members may be appointed by the Observatory in order to balance the scientific expertise in the committee. Any qualified, unconflicted scientist may serve in these 'at-large' positions; they do not need to come from the Gemini partnership or participating LLP partners.
11. What is the purpose of "considerations if allocated in band 2" requirement in the proposal narrative?
All awarded LLPs will be given allocations in either band 1 or 2. The expected completion rates are different in each band and PIs may wish to consider this impact upon a band 2 allocation. Possible considerations are a relaxing of the observing constraints and potential corresponding increase in allocation request, greater flexibility on targets and/or instrument configurations, or other consideration that would give greater flexibility in scheduling the science observations. Additionally, Band 2 programs will no longer default to Priority Visitor observing mode. If PV Mode is crucial to the science case of the proposal, justification should be provided in this section.
12. Are their supporting funds available from Gemini Observatory for successful LLPs?
No. Gemini will not offer supporting funds for LLPs.
13. What CCDs can I assume are available in GMOS?
The new Hamamatsu CCDs with improved red response are available in GMOS-South. The upgrade for GMOS-N is preliminarily scheduled for the middle part of 2016. Because the timing of the GMOS-North upgrade is uncertain, your proposal should address feasibility with the current detectors or contingency plans if the upgrade is further delayed.
14.Is the Target of Opportunity (ToO) observing mode available for LLPs?
Yes, PIs are welcome to propose LLPs using the ToO observing mode. The guidelines for ToO observations at Gemini Observatory will generally apply to LLPs using this mode. See Question 16 for more information about submitting for ToO observing mode.
15. Can I change the co-I list from the original I submitted on my letter of intent?
Yes, you may adjust the co-I list. You do not need to inform Gemini of the change, just provide the complete and correct list with the final proposal submission.
16. Can I submit a mix of Standard and Rapid ToO observations in the same LLP proposal?
Yes. If your proposal contains any Rapid ToO observations, submit your proposal as a Rapid ToO proposal, even if it also contains Standard ToO observations. If your proposal only contains Standard ToO observations, submit your proposal as a Standard ToO proposal. If different conditions are required for the Rapid and Standard ToO observations, they must all be specified using different observations using the appropriate observing constraints. Investigators should be clear in the proposals about the total time requested in Rapid and/or Standard ToO observing modes.
17. Can I submit my program to both the LLP and regular semester Call for Proposals?
Yes. As the oversubscription rate for Large and Long Programs (LLPs) remains high, PIs are encouraged to consider proposing a subset of their LLP proposal as a regular semester proposal. PIs submitting proposals for the same science program to both the regular and LLP call for proposals are requested to indicate this in the "Use of Other Facilities or Resources" section of the regular queue proposal.

ACPI Table Storage Specification v0.91
This specification describes a format for storing ACPI tables in an implementation of the Intel® Platform Innovation Framework for EFI (hereafter referred to as the "Framework"). The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface Specification (hereafter referred to as the "ACPI specification") defines a set of tables that describe platform configuration and power management. The platform Driver Execution Environment (DXE) driver must provide these tables to the operating system. These tables are largely static in nature and platform specific. This specification does the following:
• Describes the basic components of ACPI table storage
• Provides code definitions for ACPI table storage that are architecturally required by the Intel® Platform Innovation Framework for EFI Architecture Specification
See Industry Specifications in the Framework master help system for the URL for the ACPI specification.
Scope: This specification provides a design for storing ACPI tables that comply with the ACPI specification, revisions 1.0b and 2.0, in a Framework-compliant firmware device. This method relies on existing firmware volume (FV) and Firmware File System (FFS) designs. See the following specifications for more information on FV and FFS designs:
• Intel® Platform Innovation Framework for EFI Firmware Volume Specification
• Intel® Platform Innovation Framework for EFI Firmware File System Specification
Data Structure Descriptions: Intel® processors based on 32-bit Intel® architecture (IA-32) are "little endian" machines. This distinction means that the low-order byte of a multibyte data item in memory is at the lowest address, while the high-order byte is at the highest address. Processors of the Intel® Itanium® processor family may be configured for both "little endian" and "big endian" operation. All implementations designed to conform to this specification will use "little endian" operation. In some memory layout descriptions, certain fields are marked reserved. Software must initialize such fields to zero and ignore them when read. On an update operation, software must preserve any reserved field.

Phillies Talk podcast interview
Waiting is the hardest part.
Just like last year at this time, thoughts of the 2012 Phantasy Camp this coming January are constantly hitting me. I feel like Chris Volstad facing Ryan Howard. The reality of the situation is running me over like a freight train… a freight train full of sunshine in the middle of winter, endless buckets of sunflower seeds and Double Bubble, and some of the best damn memories any baseball fan can remember.
Luckily, my 2011 Camp experience is technically not over. Come August, I will have one more huge fantasy come true right before the Phillies take on the Marlins at Citizens Bank Park. But I'll save that until later…
Until then, it's watching the Phillies lead the pack in the Majors, guiding my softball team (hopefully) to another championship game appearance, and hitting the gym on a regular basis. Yes, hell has indeed frozen over. More trips to the batting cages are definitely on the docket as well. I am NOT embarrassing myself in front of Milt Thompson again.
As it is that time of year when folks are filling out their applications or still trying to decide if that trip to Clearwater is worth it, I thought I would revisit an interview I gave for the Phillies Talk podcast back in February. If you didn't get a chance to listen, you can click below, or visit the Fightin Phillies website here.

All the world's a stage
With a bit of rest after last week's whirlwind tour of the region, I was able to begin anew and zipped around the four corners, in search of entertainment. Having taken a lengthy hiatus from Rich Kiamco's traveling Comedy Club (www.thelaughtour.com), I was newly excited to make my way to the Nutshell in Lake Huntington (www.nutshellarts.com ), which has become a monthly home for Manhattan's up-and-coming comics, who often test new material on the (sometimes) unsuspecting audience that the tour attracts.
Kiamco's tireless efforts to attract a crowd have paid off handsomely, since these events are always well attended, and I saw a lot of fresh faces in the room. Guest hostess Jordan Elizabeth (www.3dudesandabroad.com), who looked almost too young to be performing in a bar, sparkled while warming up the crowd, and performed a solid, amusing set before welcoming Kiamco to the stage. Kiamco is a seasoned performer, and although it's time (IMHO) for some fresh material, always amuses with his observations that emphasize his Filipino heritage, family, gay pride and (this time out) his new marriage.
Handing the mic to writer/comedian Naomi Ekperigin ("you had me at hello"), who has coined a new term by describing herself as a "Blacktress," riffed on her "fish out of water" experience here in the Upper Delaware valley ("I am sooo not a nature girl") and the sea of "lily white" faces in the room. Funny and fresh, Ekperigin's set "killed" (as they say in comedy) and her act segued nicely into headliner Yannis Pappas' high energy, hilarious performance that made me an instant fan. His no-holds-barred commentary on politics, the gays of Sullivan County (dot com), attendee Dharma the wonder dog, and his discomfort with country life was frenetic and funny, and once again, The Laugh Tour hit a home run. Future dates can be found on the website. Pappas' observation that the "old days of Catskill comics has been revived" is accurate.
Switching gears, I made my way to Narrowsburg to catch the final performance of "Otello," presented by the Delaware Valley Opera Company (DVO). The first of three attractions in the company's "Shakespeare Sings" season, the production. beautifully staged at the Tusten Theatre, clearly illustrates the dawning of a new day for the organization, as the company "welcomes back Carol Castel as artistic director, bringing with her a raft of new ideas that will inject the old company with new life" ( www.delawarevalleyopera.org ).
Castel's design and stage direction were solid, and the Sunday matinee was well attended, based on "reviews and word of mouth" (according to my sources). Since the lead singers are (mostly) triple cast, I can only discuss the performances that I observed, but that said... they were very, very good. Ed Moran was evil incarnate as the demonic troublemaker Iago, and his interpretation, true to Shakespeare's tale, served as an ideal backdrop for Giuseppe Verdi's Italian version of deception, secrets, romance and high drama that the opera world is famous for.
Barbara Allentuch (as the beleaguered, misunderstood Desdemona) has a beautifully trained voice and her tortured trials and tribulations, laced with betrayal (of course), were effective, eliciting the requisite emotion that a lesser diva might not have been up to. Jacqueline Rose's vocal ability was lovely, and left me wanting more, since her character is off stage more than on, along with minor players Jeremy Griffin, Dan Buccheri, Giorgios Papadimitriou and Scott Silipino.
I found Juan Blanco's performance as the young (and insidiously double-crossed) Cassio to be amazing. His gorgeous voice (and face) were ideally cast, his acting convincing to a fault, and his stage presence made it clear that he is undoubtedly at home in front of an audience. Again, I wished that Blanco had even more story line, since much of his action takes place behind the scenes, but each time he sang, I was transported in time and place. I can't enthuse enough about this young man's impeccable talent.
Naturally, the centerpiece of the show is Otello himself, and Kevin Hanek's memorable, seafaring Moor was mesmerizing. Commanding the stage, Hanek's voice is strong and stunning in tone, clarity and range. His thrilling, vocally demanding solos were as riveting as his visage and the audience roared with approval at every turn. Impressive and incredibly versatile, the nuance and subtlety, combined with a forceful, domineering interpretation of the character, all combined to make "A Night at the Opera" an experience that left me anxious to attend the coming attractions of the DVO.
For those unsure whether opera is for them, "Otello" dispelled all doubt, but the season offers Broadway smash "Kiss Me Kate" and "The Merry Wives of Windsor" next, which provide an opportunity for audiences to sample the many sides of musical theatre.

- Abstract
- The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a member of the erbB tyrosine kinase family of receptors. For many years it has been believed that receptor activation occurs via a monomer-dimer transition that is associated with a conformational change to activate the kinase. However, little is known about the quaternary state of the receptor at normal levels of expression (<10^5 receptors/cell). We employed multidimensional microscopy techniques to gain insight into the state of association of the human EGFR, in the absence and presence of ligand, on the surface of intact BaF/3 cells (50,000 receptors/cell). Image correlation microscopy of an EGFR-enhanced green fluorescent protein chimera was used to establish an average degree of aggregation on the submicron scale of 2.2 receptors/cluster in the absence of ligand increasing to 3.7 receptors/cluster in the presence of ligand. Energy transfer measurements between mixtures of fluorescein isothiocyanate-EGF and Alexa 555-EGF were performed using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy as a function of the donor: acceptor labeling ratio to gain insight into the spatial disposition of EGFR ligand binding sites on the nanometer scale. In the context of a two-state Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)/non-FRET model, the data are consistent with a minimum transfer efficiency of 75% in the FRET population. The microscopy data are related to biophysical data on the EGFR in the A431 cell line and the three-dimensional structure of the ligated EGFR extracellular domain. In the context of a monomer-dimer-oligomer model, the biophysical data are consistent with a significant fraction of ligated EGFR tetramers comprising two dimers juxtaposed in a side-by-side (or slightly staggered) arrangement. Our data are consistent with a specific higher order association of the ligand-bound EGFR on the nanometer scale and indicate the existence of distinct signaling entities beyond the level of the EGFR dimer which could play an important role in receptor transactivation.

21st Century Community Learning Centers
Program Highlights
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 made several significant changes to the program. These changes ensure that the program focuses on helping children in high-needs schools succeed academically through the use of scientifically based practice and extended learning time. The new statute also provides additional State and local flexibility in how funds can be used to support higher academic achievement, and dramatically expands eligibility for 21st CCLC funding to public and private educational and youth-serving organizations.
The specific changes to the program's authorizing statute include:
- Implementing activities based on rigorous scientific research. For the first time, the new authorizing statute provides principles of effectiveness to guide local grantees to identify and implement programs and activities that can directly enhance student learning. These activities must address the needs of the schools and communities, be continuously evaluated using performance measures, and – if appropriate – be based on scientific research.
- Focusing services on academic enrichment opportunities. Under the new legislation, grantees must provide academic enrichment activities to students in low-performing schools to help the students meet State and local standards in the core content areas, such as reading, math, and science. In addition, applicants may provide services to the families of children who are served in the program. Under the previous statute, grantees provide a broad array of services to children and community members. The new legislation allows community learning centers to serve adult family members of students but not community members at large.
- Transferring program administration from the Federal to the State level. The new legislation turns over responsibility for managing the 21st CCLC program to the State educational agency (SEA) in each State. The U.S. Department of Education (the Department) will allocate funds to the SEAs by formula. The SEA will manage grant competitions and award grants to eligible organizations for local programs. States now will be accountable to the Department for ensuring that all statutory requirements are met. Under the previous legislation, the Department administered the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, managed a nationwide competition, and directly awarded over 1,600 grants to public schools and school districts that worked in collaboration with other public and nonprofit organizations, agencies, and educational entities.
- Expanding eligibility to additional organizations. The new legislation allows, in addition to local educational agencies (LEAs), community-based organizations (CBOs), including faith-based organizations and other public or private organizations, to directly receive funds from the State under this program. Under the previous authority, only public schools or local educational agencies could directly receive grants, although schools and districts applying for the grants were encouraged to collaborate with other public and nonprofit agencies.
- Targeting services to poor and low-performing schools. The new legislation requires States to make awards only to applicants that will primarily serve students that attend schools with a high concentration of poor students, giving priority to applicants serving children in low-performing schools. Funds granted under the previous authority were targeted more broadly to inner-city and rural public elementary, middle, or secondary schools or consortia of public schools.
- Requiring States to set funding priorities. As noted above, States must give priority to applications for projects that will serve children in schools designated as in need of improvement under Title I and that are submitted jointly by school districts receiving Title I funds and community-based organizations. This priority is new. The previous legislation did not mandate priorities but strongly encouraged schools to collaborate with community-based organizations.
- Extending the duration of grant awards. States now have the discretion to award grants to local organizations for a period of three to five years. The previous law limited the duration of the grants to three years.
- Increasing accountability at the State and local levels. The new legislation requires States to develop performance indicators and performance measures that it can use to evaluate programs and activities. States must require local grantees to implement programs that meet specific principles of effectiveness. In addition, grantees must periodically evaluate their programs to assess progress toward achieving the goal of providing high-quality opportunities for academic enrichment.
- Expanding the range of locations in which local programs may take place. The new legislation provides support for services for children and their families in elementary or secondary schools or in any other location that it is at least as available and accessible as the school. The previous legislation allowed for community learning centers to be located only in public elementary or secondary schools.
- Requiring funds to supplement and not supplant. Grantees must use program funds to supplement and not supplant other Federal, State, and local funds. This "supplement not supplant" provision was not included in the previous statute.
- Allowing States to require a local match. States may now require local grantees to match funds. Under the previous law no match was required.
- Requiring consultation and coordination. States must, in their State application, provide an assurance that the State application was developed in consultation and coordination with appropriate State officials, including the chief State school officer, other State agencies administering before- and after-school (or summer school) programs, the heads of the State health and mental health agencies or their designees, and representatives of teachers, parents, students, the business community, and community-based organizations, including faith-based organizations.

It's not bad to feel like Violet Beauregarde.
Before we continue, care for a spot of tea, dear? ...
No. 2: Green Tea
Green tea is a popular drink to calm the mind, engage in good conversation with friends and can even help prevent breast cancer.
It contains cathechins, which stops the growth of cancer cells and reduces the size of cancerous tumors. Green tea also contains the antioxidant EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate), which helps the body's cells from becoming damaged and aging prematurely.
Studies have shown that survival rate for breast cancer tripled for women who drank three or more cups of tea a day. For example, one study published in Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention found that women who did this were 37 percent less likely to develop breast cancer compared to women who didn't drink green tea.
Studies have also found that increased consumption of green tea was correlated with decreased the recurrence of stages I and II breast cancer.
Green tea is also full of Vitamin B Complex, Vitamin C and Vitamin K and can be absorbed anytime throughout the day.
Last up, it's time for some dry oil ...
No. 1: Flaxseed
Flaxseed may not seem like an appealing food, but studies have found that the seeds reduce movement of breast cancer cells and prevent them from sticking to one another.
Flaxseed contains lignans, a plant based estrogen, and omega-3 fatty acids. When a weak estrogen-like substance takes the place of the body's natural estrogen in a breast cell's estrogen receptor, then the weak substance can act as an anti-estrogen.
Eating flaxseed can reduce the risk of getting breast cancer by 40 percent, according to a recent study out of the German Cancer Research Centre. If the seeds are ground up, your body has an easier time getting to the lignans. Flaxseeds also contain Vitamin B-1, Vitamin B-2, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and are an excellent source of fiber.
Flaxseed can be eaten in yogurt, cereal or salads. They also come in flavors.
So, go ahead, plant those seeds in your tummy.

Normally I'm not one to do much shopping in late November and early December.
I'm not a fan of crowds, and I rarely want anything badly enough to sit in a long line.
But a friend had just had a baby, so I took a deep breath and headed to Target on Dec. 5 for a gift.
Little did I know that I'd still be dealing with that visit.
By now, everyone has heard of the massive data breach that hit Target store shoppers throughout the United States between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15, 2013.
When I first heard the news, I felt a little sick. Target sent an email within days of the disclosure to reassure me that my information wasn't going to end up in Indonesia.
Except, of course, that the company couldn't guarantee that. All it could guarantee was that I wasn't going to be liable for charges on my card that weren't my fault.
Not too long thereafter, I got a similar email from my credit card company.
As luck would have it, the compromised card isn't one I use often.
And I've been through the "unauthorized charges" drill on this card before.
A few years back, when online shopping was just coming into its own, I noticed a charge or two that I didn't recognize.
One charge came from a clearly questionable website – one that would never, ever get my business, if you know what I mean.
After reassuring the customer service representative from the credit card company that no one in my house was responsible for said charge, it was expunged with little fanfare.
Of course, this just made me hypervigilant.
So vigilant, it turns out, that I became a little overzealous in my calls to the credit card company.
I had to sheepishly admit that I probably was the one who had made a purchase at the Wisconsin State Fair from a vendor whose name I didn't remember. ("Oh yeah, that. Sorry.")
Since I diligently look at my credit card statements each month, I figured I had managed to ride out this Target breach.
That is, until my credit card company decided to issue me a new account number and card.
Not that I blame them. After all, they, not I, would be on the hook for the fraudulent charges.
Unfortunately, that does mean that I'm going to have to figure out which merchants will need the new digits. The credit card company even helpfully sent me a list for my convenience.
Swell. Then again, I guess this beats the alternative – having to work through a list of fraudulent charges months down the road.
In the end, it was just another reminder of how powerless we are when it comes to so much of our personal information that's out there. Even relatively careful people like me aren't immune.
So I suppose no one can blame me for being a little more hesitant about hauling out the plastic from here on out. It might not help the economy, but it probably will be beneficial to the Oliver household's bottom line. For a little while at least.

Juniors is generally regarded as U15s and below, with Youth U16s-U18s, but I'm happy to lump them all together for the sake of this debate. I see there are 15 teams listed at U16s, not only have most of them played only 5 league games or less this season but that's also a shocking number of teams.
There were at least 26 teams at U15s for Yorkshire Juniors last summer season, judging by their website. If you add in the West Riding clubs & Hull Clubs, the winter U16s should have way more than 15 teams.
That tells us one of two things - either the game is in real crisis as there are only 15 clubs with enough players to run a team at U16s, or the vast majority of clubs now that they have been given the choice to play either winter or summer at U16s have opted for summer.
I guess we'll see when the new season starts in March.
Yorkshire Juniors U16s applications for 2013 are in - 38 teams in 4 divisions including 8 Hull sides.
37 under 15 teams including 2 from Hull.

Williamstown ballot includes 2 cent rate hike, surplus
WILLIAMSTOWN A $2.5 million bond to construct a new public safety building in Williamstown now has company on the Town Meeting Day ballot.
The Select Board this week adopted general fund and highway fund budget requests that would collectively trigger a 2-cent increase in the local tax rate and finalized a town meeting warning that will, among other things, ask voters what to do with nearly $250,000 in surplus money.
On a night when they had second thoughts about selling a second ambulance, decided to dicker with the lone bidder for a parcel of town-owned property, and held off on the planned purchase of a pickup truck, the board set the stage for town meeting.
Two weeks after agreeing to warn a Town Meeting Day vote on the $2.5 million bond issue for the proposed public safety building, the board fleshed out the questions voters will confront March 5.
All but one will be answered on the floor of a traditional town meeting. The bond issue, which must be decided by a daylong voting system commonly referred to as the Australian ballot, is the exception this year. That will be settled by voters who cast ballots at Williamstown Middle High School between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. on March 5, as well as those who take advantage of early voting.
Two informational meetings about the public safety building have been scheduled next month at the local fire station. The first is set for Monday, Feb. 11 at 7 p.m. and the second on Saturday, Feb. 23 at 11 a.m.
The Select Board wasted little time adopting two budget requests that are essentially level funded.
Virtually all of the increase in the $1.03 million general fund budget can be traced to a decision to incorporate $20,000 that was separately voted for the sheriffs department last year into the spending plan for the coming fiscal year. The $940,701 highway budget is up roughly $2,000, though anticipated state revenue has dropped by about $36,000.
Town Manager Jackie Higgins said approval of both budgets and nearly $35,000 of special spending requests would add about 2 cents to the municipal portion of the local tax rate. The rate, she said, would climb from 52.48 cents to 54.66 cents per $100 of assessed property value.
In agreeing to ask voters to raise $731,000 in taxes to support the proposed general fund budget, and $792,000 to support the proposed highway fund budget, board members agreed that increase was reasonable.
I think this budget is about as lean as were ever going to get it, said Selectman Matt Rouleau.
Higgins tax rate projections assume approval of nearly $35,000 in special spending requests that range from $225 for the Orange County Diversion Program to $10,000 for the Williamstown Historical Society. Included in the requests is $2,500 in seed money for a town celebration.
In adopting the Town Meeting Day warning, the board answered lingering questions about its plans for recently audited year-end surpluses for both major budgets.
The board will ask voters to appropriate $40,000 of a $172,000 general fund surplus to a renovation fund for the town offices while placing the balance of the money in a fund that could be used to stabilize the tax rate in future years.
Meanwhile, the board is asking voters to place the $77,000 highway surplus in a fund that would be used to upgrade local roads.
In other business Monday night, the board opted not to sell its backup ambulance at this time, to negotiate with the town resident who offered to buy the old water tank property on Route 64 for $27,000, and to do a little more shopping before buying a new pickup truck for the highway department.
Although they had previously agreed to sell the second ambulance, board members decided to change course after hearing that the 1994 emergency vehicle is mechanically sound but probably wouldnt fetch what it is worth.
The board agreed to try to persuade resident David Farnham to up his offer for the 2.1-acre water tank property to $30,000. The counter-offer, they agreed, would be closer to the propertys assessed value of just over $43,000.
Although board members reviewed four bids for a new pickup truck, they decided to do a little more homework before making the purchase.
Bids ranged from just under $21,000 for a 2012 half-ton pickup from Formula Ford to just over $25,000 for a 2013 three-quarter-ton pickup from Cody Chevrolet.

u was not wrong about swish-Smith .. I would mention why but swish-Smith
buzzer beating shot for the WIN over a 6 losing-streak Bobcats team has a day-off on me.
Our 13-4 record coach Woody have to do something urgent about our consistent
48 minute halfcourt-offense strategy ASAP .. the next 5 games will prove me
right vs Heats, Bulls, Nuggets, Nets, and Lakers.
Without Jason Kidd running the point our Knicks are clueless on pushing
the ball to complete an easy basket in the paint off of a fastbreak.
Red-Flag clues ....
We never see our center or PF running down to the offensive-end to
postup down-low before our oponents could setup their defense.
Our guards are forever walking the ball up the court on every offensive-possession.
When oponents run an uptempo offense on us to score in the paint all our
young players effort to get back on defense seem more aghausted & tiresome
than our Old-Head players.
We have to start running the ball so the body could adapt to the fast
pace uptempo teams in the league like the Clippers, OKC, and Heats.
In our 13-4 record we rarely seen our Knicks score a basket in an uptempo-offense ..
our main uptempo scoring players has been DNP from injuries or given short sputs of playingtime ..
Kidd, Shump, Copeland, Amare, Camby ..
when our main uptempo players are healthy to perform at the start of midseason,
there maybe havoc in the rotation from the players who are fine with sticking
to the 48 minute halfcourt-offense...

I sold my Heddon #17 Black Beauties today--I had all the lengths plus original tubes etc,--can't say I ever casted any of them --what's the deal with heddon #17's--they looked strictly middle of the road in quality and finish--I wish I had a hundred of them because they sell.the shorter one's seem to be more valuable.I think black beauty bamboo's were sold primarily by hardware stores.They were not considered to be one of Heddon's upper echelon rods were they?made enough to pay Babb for the cumberland river special 8wt bamboo rod,that'al be ready soon---
So Uncle Walter (Private Babb) is making a new rod for you. You lucky guy. I'll be in your neck of the woods in six weeks. Turkey season in Kentucky is something I don't miss. I'll cross Silver Creek and end up after 5 creek crossings of Sled Branch at our little hunting camp on Paint Lick Creek. I'll be thinking about you when I cross the bridge near the old mill. Have a nice Spring buddy.
not sure what you mean you had all the lengths but if you did and sold them you should be 10/ 12,000 dollars richer.

There were quite a few "working man rods" made, some of them were actually nice fishing rods despite the cosmetics.
Folks have been buyig & hording the nicer rods for years, i knew the "workinh man rods" would start bringing some money on account of the nicer ones being a little scarce or just to blame high.
Is the 8 weight you're having built a HOLLOWBUILT rod?
I don't know--Walter said he knew a great 8wt taper--This all started when I hooked a 9lb brown while wading the cumberland---was using a tandem rig -prince nymph--weight--prince nymph as dropper--a Humphries rig--the nymphs were #14's---5X tippett---4wt bamboo rod(One of Walter's)-casted above a seam--drifted into the seam--the line stopped--the brown then ran like the devil---My rig was too light---in just a second or two the fish was into the backing--I tried to lift the rod tip---found the rod tip on a plane with my eyes--the strands in the bamboo began to whine--i let off-the fish went under a guys boat in the middle of the river--i think my tippett hit the prop of the boat motor-it broke---the guy in the boat saw the fish --said it was a 9lb'ish brown--a classic case of being unprepared--told the story to Babb---said he knew a top taper for an 8 1/2ft 8wt--perfect for the Cumberland river---full wells grip--and he said it was not clubby--so maybe it is hollow--this was a long answer,that does not really answer your question,but when you lose a fish like that,and it is your own fault,then you have one of two choices--purge the experience on the Forum or stick needles in your eyes--
Sounds like you will receive a nice rod to handle those big-uns. Hope you get a couple of rods if you traded all those black beauties. As I said they are worth quite a bit depending on ferrule size.
The Black Beauties were popular because of the unusual finish. I think they struck a chord with some people. They're not a bad rod, but because of the name and the cosmetics they do sell well.
In any series of production rods the shorter rods will tend to sell quicker and at a better price, all things being equal, because there were relatively fewer of them made.
THE STANDARD bamboo rod in the old days was a 9 ft HDH, then a 9ft HCH, and then came the 8'6" rods. Well down the sales curve came the shorter lighter rods. In many cases they were the "nitch" for some of the smaller "local" makers. A particular favorite in the Catskills was an 8ft, 3pc, HEH size rod. These were used, in large part, by the local "experts" and when found today are generally fished to death. I've got a couple and they are just great for the GSMNP streams.
What you guys would call heavy 6wt and 7wt rods were VERY common in the old days and they were popular due to the fact that they would handle about anything around.... remember; Grandpa had one... maybe 2 on the outside... cane rods. Folks then just didn't have the disposable income around that we do today.
This will be a topic at the Bamboo Bash in Townsend.

The Jackall Dagored is one of the latest top-of-the-line Japanese hard baits to reach the U.S. Jackall baits are created using the latest materials and design technology. The prototype of each of these lures is designed on a computer to generate a 3D image. The image is then cut into the actual bait in a matter of minutes. This process allows Jackall to get the lure from idea to design to creation much faster, enabling them to get the baits into the hands of their pro staff in a matter of days or hours. This gives Jackall a great advantage; they are able to tweak a lure to perfection and present it for sale much faster than their competitors. Jackall is raising bass fishing to a whole new level with this sophisticated technology and their new materials and designs.
This jointed wake bait is the perfect alternative to monster sized swimbaits or the all-too-common walking baits. The Jackall Dagored swims with a wide back and forth motion along the surface, creating a wake that will direct a bass' attention to the apex of the V. The rear prop tail adds a nice flash to incite the fish. The Jackall Dagored is a highly technical innovation.

From: John: MO
Comments: this is a great topwater bait,but i have tinkered with mine and made it better,i took off the back prop.and made myself an inline buzz spinner with some tackle wire.and where the toplittle knocker screw is i put a small colorado blade there to hit and knock against the buzz blade.now this thing is LOUD!!! and calls up the big ladies for dinner.if u like to tinker and make your own tackle try it,its def. something different and loud for topwater,killer at night.
From: Steveo: Chicago
Comments: Well I wasn't too sure about this lure at first, when I would try to burn it, it would roll on one side and not track true, but after playing around with it , I finally got it to work, you just have to reel it really slow, then on my third cast ( I went to another lake ) I nailed a 4lb largemouth!! Then,next cast nailed a 3lb largie!! Not a bad bait!
From: Mrbon007: East Lansing, MI
Comments: I was unsure about this bait when I bought one. But it is killer fished over submerged weed beds. Good action at slow, medium or fast retrieves. Decent when jerked. Typical excellent Jackall quality.

Undergraduate Research in the Humanities with N. Koppelman
Fall 2014, Winter 2015 and Spring 2015 quarters
Taught by
Students of the humanities who are nearing the end of their Evergreen education may wish to pursue a major research project, senior thesis or capstone project in their particular field of interest. Often, the goal is to contruct an original argument around a particular body of literature, set of ideas or historical events. These kinds of projects develop advanced research skills in the humanities, including the ability to read deeply and critically in a particular field, and to discover and engage with important theoretical writings in that field. Students will also gain valuable skills in reading, analyzing, synthesizing, writing and editing long pieces of complex prose. The best kinds of this work will be invaluable for graduate school applications, and will be an asset to those entering the job market directly following graduation.
Nancy Koppelman (American studies) specializes in American social, literary and intellectual history until 1920. Students who wish to study in these fields are welcome to propose research projects and senior theses. Particular interests include the social and intellectual history of the Puritans; the founding generation, immigrants, the working class and the middle class; industrialization and reform movements; pragmatic philosophy; the history of childhood; and the history of technology and consumer culture. Students are also welcome to work with Nancy to participate in her ongoing research projects on alcohol reform movements, the histories of social/economic mobility and of individual physical movement, and ethical themes in American cultural history.

Wave your hands frantically in the air if you're excited for motion controls on HD consoles! In an effort to go toe-to-toe with Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft have decided to release their own version of immersive controls. For Sony, it's the PlayStation Move: a decidedly Wii-esque controller and camera that tracks your movements one-to-one. Meanwhile on November 4th, Microsoft is set to unleash Kinect: a 3D camera that scans your body and follows your every move without the need for anything in your hands.
While we can't say which one will reign supreme yet, we can use our virtual crystal ball (the Move works well as a substitute) to look into the future. Join us as we discuss some of the upcoming titles that make us excited for the possibilities that both systems have to offer. Bring your hands!
PlayStation Move
It may seem like the PlayStation Move, which effectively one-ups the Wii without bringing a tangible sense of next-gen innovation to the table, is uninspired. While that might be true, the Move is practical and technologically sound. That may not sound like a selling point, but in an industry swimming with tech that doesn't always work like it's supposed to, it's actually saying a lot.
Move has been out in the wild since the middle of September, and we've had a chance to get our hands on it and test all of the launch titles. What we've seen so far from the Move has been a lot of sports games (Tiger Woods, Sports Champions), some casual titles (Tumble, Kung Fu Rider, Start the Party), and interesting integration (Heavy Rain).
While we were not bowled over by a lot of what we saw, the peripheral does have a lot of promise.
So what, exactly, is the Move capable of delivering? Hopefully, it'll be a classic Sony gaming experience, one that will appeal to the hardcore crowd. Only time will tell, but here are some of the games we're looking forward to playing along the way.
echochrome ii
Release Date: TBA Q4 2010
If you've ever wanted to play your way through an Escher sketch, echochrome ii is for you. This version of the 3D puzzle platformer has been built exclusively for use with the PlayStation Move and features brain-bending puzzles for you to solve. The focus of the game is shadow play and you use the Move controller as a flashlight. Solving the puzzles involves pointing the flashlight at the right angle in order to show your little man the correct path. It's a fascinating concept and the game's aesthetic will be instantly appealing to those who like a good, artsy test of problem solving skills.
Heroes on the Move
Release Date: April 30, 2011
Heroes on the Move…get it?! Anyway, this title designed to work exclusively with Move brings together a who's who of gaming adventure heroes including Ratchet, Clank, Jak, Daxter, Sly and Bentley. The gameplay uses different motion control friendly mechanics like smashing, hurling, and shooting as your battle your way through throngs of baddies. While it might skew a little young, the idea of Heroes on the Move appeals to the action game fan in all of us and after a particularly bad day, it might be fun to wail away on some evildoers.
SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs
Release Date: TBA Q1 2011
At this year's E3, Sony showed off the hardcore future of the move with SOCOM 4. In it, you play a badass squad leader, leading the rest of the SEALs into battle in Southeast Asia. Sure, it's your standard military shooter fare, but Move might add the immersive dimension we've all been waiting for. While you might not look hardcore using the wand with a glowing ball on the top, the motion controls are sure to up the ante on difficulty, which will either be a welcome challenge, or drive you straight back to your Sixaxis.
Release Date: TBA Q2 2011
Finally, a game that lets you use the Move for something that makes perfect sense. Without trying to shove it in somewhere it doesn't necessarily belong, Sorcery allows you to play as a wizard with a magic wand. This isn't wimpy s@%t, though. You'll use your wand to hurl magic missiles and do other awesome wizard stuff. Out of all the upcoming PlayStation Move titles, Sorcery excites us the most. It might seem a little on the head to use the Move as a wand, but why fight it? Being a wizard sounds good to us.
Honorable Mentions: There are a lot of games coming out with the option to play with the Move, but we wanted to focus on those games that were built for the peripheral, or at least the emphasis was playing the game with the Move. That said, huge upcoming titles like Killzone 3, inFamous 2, LittleBigPlanet 2 and Tron: Evolution will have Move support. It's still unclear, however, whether gamers will actually choose to try these titles with the Move or stick with the good ol' Sixaxis to get their fix.
A device capable of reading your body movements and translating them directly into the gameworld should conceivably feel like an industry-changing event, and yet only three weeks before launch, the most visible titles for the peripheral are Dance Central, Your Shape: Fitness Evolved and Kinectimals. The promise of physically participating in the visceral experience of a shooter or action title – something already displayed on the Move – seems months, if not years, away on the Kinect.
So who exactly is the target audience here? What's the experience for casual gamers vs. hardcore? And why does the system still appeal to those of us who know to expect so little from it?
Almost immediately, the scant marketing for Kinect would have children and families believe that this is the perfect addition to the living room, pulling casual gamers into the console with a variety of basic sports titles. So, if your goal is to indulge in virtual dodge ball, tennis, football, soccer, bowling, dancing, and yoga, then certainly the Kinect has a number of titles ready to transform your living into the equivalent of your own back yard. Which is right there, by the way. You know, in the back of your house. Dancing too, is generally free; however, despite all of this, there's no denying that there's much fun to be had for casual gamers on the Kinect, and the system might very well pull families into the living room together in a way that simpler efforts have failed.
However, hardcore gamers are likely to have some trouble finding a decent entry point for Kinect. To date, there have been virtually no – zero, count 'em, zip – titles announced that would likely appeal to the hardcore gamer. Dance Central is, perhaps, aiming to become the full-body equivalent of Rock Band and Fighters Uncaged is presenting a decent enough brawler simulation, but the promise of a Gears-like adventure lobbing grenades, running for cover, and shooting wildly at the oncoming hordes is really nowhere to be seen. At the moment, the dedicated gamer is likely to be more interested in the voice-commands, on-screen chatting, and hand-swipe menu navigation to manufacture their own Minority Report experience.
Yet, for all the absence of a fully featured, truly next-gen game, our interest is still piqued by the possibilities of the peripheral. Kinect may be a device with immediate and lasting appeal to the casual crowd, but with enough time, testing, and developer support, there's no reason that hardcore gamers can't become more fully immersed and physically involved with their games via the Kinect; however, for the moment, it's difficult not to look at the system with a mixed cocktail of hesitation and hope.
With that in mind, here are a few of the titles heading for Kinect that are most likely worth your time during launch:
Kinect Adventures & Kinect Sports
Release Date: November 4, 2010
Perhaps the most casual of the titles releasing for the system, this assemblage of family style, Wii-type games is a safe, family friendly bet for moms and dads looking to join their kids in an active, fun and age-appropriate experience. Cartoonish characters and vivid environments set the stage of a handful of games that'll likely attract new gamers and curious parents.
MotionSports: Play for Real
Release Date: November 4, 2010
For those looking for a slightly more grounded, less kidified athletic title, MotionSports offers a realistic variety of popular sports including football, boxing, skiing and soccer. We've seen this one in action and while the games have definitely been simplified for the Kinect – for example, you don't play a full game of football so much as individual mini-games such as evading tackles and throwing passes – this'll probably be the game that the adults reach for when the generic adventures skew a bit too young.
Fighters Uncaged
Release Date: November 4, 2010
If you've ever felt like joining a Fight Club but simply couldn't find a violent, underground society in your area, Fighters Uncage let's players punch and kick their way to victory against a virtual opponent or on-screen friend. The combat was fairly slow in the version we saw, and certain moves were made easier for the less agile among us. For instance, executing a roundhouse kick merely requires that you step back, placing one foot behind the other. So while the game doesn't require you to become either a bad-ass or a ninja to succeed, it's a fairly responsive, if simple, brawler for adults.
Your Shape: Fitness Evolved
Release Date: November 4, 2010
Probably the best looking of the exercise titles, Your Shape should help all the paunchy Kinect fans of the world to drop a few pounds while working out their frustrations on digital, orange blocks. From what we've seen, the camera has proven incredibly capable of adjusting your work-out experience based upon your ongoing performance. Sure, you might not be slaying the Locust Horde, but consider it training for the future alien invasion.
Child of Eden
Release Date: TBA March 2011
Certainly the trippiest Kinect game we've seen to date, Child of Eden will also be available in regular console versions, as well. But if you like battling geometric shapes to raving techno music using only your fists, then this might just be a game for the hardest core among us.
Dance Central
Release Date: November 4, 2010
Finally, Dance Central is probably the one game people seem most excited about. Follow the moves on-screen and attempt to perform today's coolest dance moves on your journey to become the best dancer…in your home. WIth no awkward floor pad needed (like Dance Dance Revolution), Dance Central has no barrier to entry beyond owning Kinect, which makes it much more accessible and appealing to non-gamers. While men and women both are looking foward to busting a move, this is going to be the game that sells a 360 to your girlfriend, sister, and that chick you once talked to in line at the coffee shop. Mark it down in the book of prognostications: Dance Central is going to be a system seller whether you like it or not.
Honorable Mention: Post launch, however, there are a few titles currently in development that seem prepared to thrill the hardcore crowd. Rise of the Nightmare is being developed by Sega as a surreal horror experience for the Silent Hill crowd, although virtually nothing about the title has been revealed beyond the initial title treatment. Codename D is being developed by Suda 51 in which players must battle their way through an abandoned amusement park filled with bizarre, mutated creatures. Lastly, Project Draco is currently in the pipeline from the producer of Panzer Dragoon. The game sounds essentially like Panzer Dragoon 2 and allows gamers to nurture and train their dragon before taking it into battle against friends and enemies online.
