Congrats, Candice. The people who work with PR, down at MSG, are great, they'll take care of you; and if you come with a friend, they'll feed you both, give you drinks, all on the garden's tab.
As an assistant coach, with the PSAL, in NYC, the garden gave my players Starbury sneakers, Knick book bags, jerseys, hats, etc. They also fed them and gave them seats for a few different games. This was all in exchange for us helping put together a half-time show, where some younger, middle school kids, whom we worked with, played a quick inter-gender game. This little Latin girl was the best, and she really got the crowd going, crossovers, fadeaways, all at 4'10".
Have a good time, and don't be shy, when they ask you to go down to center court. Peace.

Parents, educators discuss bullying prevention
Parents and teachers came together Monday to tackle a problem that only seems to be getting worse.
Dozens of area educators and childcare providers gathered at CESA 4 to talk about bullying. The focus was not so-much about the problem, but instead how to find a solution.
The group discussed ways to find patterns that lead to bullying and cyberbullying, then start conversations as early as preschool and kindergarten as a first step to put an end to it. "There will always be kids that push the boundaries, and I see that on a regular basis, but intervening and doing it purposefully and protactively, I think that's where our opportunity is," said West Salem Elementary School counselor Gayle Lassen.
"Often times if we wait when it comes to middle school or high school, we're just doing a band-aid effect and we're not attacking the real issues that start so early," said CESA 4 Early Education Director Jen Kalis.
News 8's Jennifer Livingston was a special guest and a part of the conversation.
A health educator says it needs to be bigger than just what the school is doing. Everyone needs to be a involved with the discussion. "It needs to be a collective approach, we need schools, we need parents, we need students, we all need to do what we can as our role to prevent it and focus on creating a culture where bullying is not allowed," said health educator Lacie Ketelhut from CESA 4.
The educators all agreed that kids need to be taught problem-solving skills, empathy, and assertiveness.

The word "aquifer" comes from two Latin words, which together mean "to bring water." That is what the Ogallala Aquifer has done for the High Plains for nearly a century.
Named after the town of Ogallala, Neb., the aquifer covers 174,000 square miles in parts of eight states, including New Mexico and Texas. It was formed between 5 million and 20 million years ago, said Jayne Aubele, a geologist and chief of education at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science. Wind and water eroded bits of rock from the Rocky Mountains and carried them east where the gravel, silt and sand built up a thick section in the plains.
The loosely consolidated debris was perfect for collecting water. Water flowed to the porous rock layer and suffused the space between the loose particles of rock.
The Ogallala is not the huge underground lake people imagine.
"The water is in all the little pore space," Aubele said.
A hard layer of sandstone underneath the porous rock layer keeps the water from flowing deeper into the Earth, Aubele said.
Rain and snow runoff have been collecting in the Ogallala for the past several million years. But because the climate in New Mexico and Texas is semi-arid, more water is being taken out of the aquifer than is being recharged by the elements.
"It's like taking more money out of your bank account than you put in," Aubele said.
The thickness of the aquifer ranges from more than 1,000 feet in Nebraska to less than 20 feet in some areas of the Great Plains.
In Curry County the aquifer is being drained at a rate of 206,898 acre feet per year, according to the Office of the State Engineer. Meanwhile, the aquifer only recharges itself in the region by 50,760 acre feet annually.
An acre foot is about 326,000 gallons of water.

Turkey has authorized further military action against Syria saying it is intended to be a deterrent and to protect Turkey. NBC's Ayman Mohyeldin reports.
Updated at 6:46 p.m. ET: The United Nations Security Council on Thursday condemned a mortar attack by Syria on a Turkish border town that killed five people and demanded that "such violations of international law stop immediately and are not repeated.''
"The members of the Security Council condemned in the strongest terms the shelling by the Syrian armed forces of the Turkish town of Akcakale, which resulted in the deaths of five civilians, all of whom were women and children, as well as a number of injuries. The members of the Security Council expressed their sincere condolences to the families of the victims and to the Government and people of Turkey," the Security Council said in a statement.
"The members of the Security Council underscored that this incident highlighted the grave impact the crisis in Syria has on the security of its neighbors and on regional peace and stability. The members of the Council demanded that such violations of international law stop immediately and are not repeated. The members of the Security Council called on the Syrian Government to fully respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of its neighbors."
The mortar attack happened on Wednesday and Turkey responded by striking targets in Syria later the same day and Thursday.
Seeking to unwind the most serious cross-border escalation in its 18-month-old crackdown on dissent, Damascus apologized through the United Nations for the shelling and said it would not happen again, Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay said.
Syria's staunch ally Russia said it had received assurances from Damascus that the mortar strike was a tragic accident.
But Turkey's government said "aggressive action" against its territory by Syria's military had become a serious threat to its national security and parliament approved the deployment of Turkish troops beyond its borders if needed.
"Turkey has no interest in a war with Syria. But Turkey is capable of protecting its borders and will retaliate when necessary," Ibrahim Kalin, a senior adviser to Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, said on his Twitter account.
"Political, diplomatic initiatives will continue," he said.

Turkish soldiers and relatives of Gulsen Ozer, who was killed by a mortar bomb from Syria, attend her funeral in Turkey's southeastern border region of Akcakale, Sanliurfa, Turkey, on Thursday.
Turkey hit back after a mortar hit a residential neighborhood in Akcakale on Wednesday, killing a woman, her three daughters and another woman.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said several Syrian soldiers were killed in the Turkish retaliatory bombardment of a military post near Tel Abyad, a few miles across the frontier from Akcakale. It did not say how many soldiers died.
"We know that they have suffered losses," a Turkish security source told Reuters, without giving further details.
State Department: Missing American journalist believed held by Syrian regime
NATO said it stood by member nation Turkey and urged Syria to put an end to "flagrant violations of international law."
A mortar attack fired from Syrian territory killed five Turkish civilians, prompting Turkey to strike back. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.
The U.S.-led Western military alliance held an urgent late-night meeting in Brussels to discuss the matter and in New York, Turkey asked the U.N. Security Council to take the "necessary action" to stop Syrian aggression.
In a letter to the president of the 15-nation Security Council, Turkish U.N. Ambassador Ertugrul Apakan called the firing of the mortar bomb "a breach of international peace and security."

A look back at the violence that has overtaken Syria.
'Risks to our national security'
Turkey's parliament had already been due to vote on Thursday on extending a five-year-old authorization for foreign military operations, an agreement originally intended to allow strikes on Kurdish militant bases in northern Iraq.
But the memorandum signed by Erdogan and sent to parliament overnight said that despite repeated warnings and diplomatic initiatives, the Syrian military had launched aggressive action against Turkish territory, presenting "additional risks."
"This situation has reached a level of creating a serious threat and risks to our national security. At this point the need has emerged to take the necessary measures to act promptly and swiftly against additional risks and threats," it said.
Syria's foreign minister says US, allies support 'terrorism'
A series of suicide bombings in Syria's largest city killed scores of people. State TV reported that three explosions rocked a government-controlled district in Aleppo. TODAY's Natalie Morales reports.
"Our armed forces in the border region responded immediately to this abominable attack in line with their rules of engagement; targets were struck through artillery fire against places in Syria identified by radar," Erdogan's office said in a statement late on Wednesday.
"Turkey will never leave unanswered such kinds of provocation by the Syrian regime against our national security."
Syria said it was investigating the source of the mortar bomb and urged restraint. Information Minister Omran Zoabi conveyed his condolences to the Turkish people, saying his country respected the sovereignty of neighboring countries.
Get a glimpse at the rebels fighting against Assad's forces in Syria's mountainous Jabal al-Zawiya area.
Some residents of Akcakale abandoned their homes close to the border and spent the night on the streets. Others gathered outside the local mayor's office, afraid to return to their homes as the dull thud of distant artillery fire rumbled across the town.
"We haven't been able to sleep in our own homes for 15 days, we had to sleep in our relatives' houses further away from the border because it's not safe down there," said shopkeeper Hadi Celik, 42, a father of five.
Washington sees Turkey as a pivotal player in backing Syria's opposition and planning for the post-Assad era. The White House said on Wednesday it stood by "our Turkish ally." But Ankara has found itself increasingly isolated and frustrated by a lack of international consensus on how to end the conflict.

More Syria coverage from NBC News
Erdogan long cultivated good relations with Assad, but became a harsh critic after Syria's popular revolt began last year, accusing him of creating a "terrorist state." Erdogan has allowed Syrian rebels to organize on Turkish soil and pushed for a foreign-protected safe zone inside Syria.

Vaccine Wars: the NCCAM Drops the Ball
If you go to the website of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), you'll find that one of its self-identified roles is to "provide information about CAM." NCCAM Director Josephine Briggs is proud to assert that the website fulfills this expectation. As many readers will recall, three of your bloggers visited the NCCAM last April, after having received an invitation from Dr. Briggs. We differed from her in our opinion of the website: one of our suggestions was that the NCCAM could do a better job providing American citizens with useful and accurate information about "CAM."
We cited, among several examples, the website offering little response to the dangerous problem of widespread misinformation about childhood immunizations. As Dr. Novella subsequently reported, it seemed that we'd scored a point on that one:
…Dr. Briggs did agree that anti-vaccine sentiments are common in the world of CAM and that the NCCAM can do more to combat this. Information countering anti-vaccine propaganda would be a welcome addition to the NCCAM site.
In anticipation of SBM's Vaccine Awareness Week, I decided to find out whether such a welcome addition has come to fruition. The short answer: nope.

Posted on: September 18th, 2012 Things I Miss (and Don't Miss) About Reading Comics
I recently decided to get my act together and go to graduate school. I knew there would be reading. I knew there would be writing. I knew I had to keep my job. So, I figured I would have to cut down on my pull list each week. There wouldn't be enough time to keep up with all the titles I wanted to read. And I did that. By at least 50%.
Then I actually started school and it turns out…I don't have time to read them at all. In almost two months time, I think I have managed to get through four single issues. This is not at all what I anticipated. But, in effort to keep my priorities in line, I've just succumbed to the notion that comics will have to wait. Do I miss them? God, yes. However, our time apart has also made me realize that comics were causing me some grief.

During a special meeting of Karnes County Commissioners Court on June 20, County Judge Barbara Shaw read Smart's letter of resignation in which Smart cited health reasons for leaving his position after 42 years of service.
The resignation will become effective June 30.
Smart told the court that he has become a liability to the county instead of an asset.
"My body has worn out on me," Smart said. "Everything on my right side has worn out."
The administrator said that there are many options the county should consider in regard of the future of local EMS services.
He recommended continuing with 911 EMS service only, and allowing private contractors to continue handling patient transfers.
Among the options Smart mentioned were hiring a private contractor to provide 911 EMS services for the county, turning the 911 EMS service over to the local fire departments, or turning it over to the Karnes County Hospital District.
"The days of the volunteer are fast, fast coming to an end," Smart said. "I am not only speaking about EMS, I am speaking about fire departments and everything. People do not have the time anymore. Time is money and they don't have the time, which is money."
Smart said he recommended moving to privately contracted 911 EMS service, at least for the near future.
"I don't say, 'Kill the system,' – I am saying, 'Let's do what we can to bring the system back in two years or four years – something that we can be proud of – an improved system," Smart said.
Another letter was read by Judge Shaw from Karnes County EMS Medical Director Dr. Joel Saldana urging the county to move toward a full time paid EMS service.
Shaw said officials discussed appointing local Paramedic Casey Ebrom as Smart's successor, but Ebrom declined, saying he lacked the experience needed for the position.
Ebrom spoke to the court during the meeting and said Karnes County is no longer the "little county" that it used to be in regard to local demand for EMS services.
"The increase in call volume has skyrocketed," Ebrom said, adding that EMS patient care has been improving, but is not where it needs to be. He also recommended moving to a full time paid EMS service.
One EMS worker at the meeting said the current EMS service is broken and has been broken for a while.
"We have a chance to fix it," the worker said. "How we are going to fix it? I don't have that answer, but I know what we have is broken."
The same worker said that local EMS facilities are also not up to par, and facilities need to be considered along with the direction the service will now take.
Shelby Dupnik said he works for Karnes County EMS, but in this situation he wanted to speak as a county commissioner, not as a local EMS worker.
Dupnik said that the hospital has had to "get creative" in order to make EMS services happen during times when Karnes County EMS was out of service. He said EMS has lost personnel, but under different leadership and with a better facility, those EMS workers might consider coming back to work.
"I am not in favor of a private service coming in here," Dupnik said. "We are like roadkill right now, we have got private services circling us like I don't know what."
"I would like to see Karnes County people take care of Karnes County," Dupnik said, suggesting the county use a mix of paid professionals with volunteers.
Judge Shaw questioned the viability of creating a service that mixed paid workers with volunteers.
Smart said he has seen other places try this mixed approach, but it hasn't worked well.
Representatives from several private companies that offer contract EMS services also spoke to the court and presented information about what they have to offer.
During the meeting, Otto Kaiser Memorial Hospital Trauma Coordinator Mike Tyler said problems with the local EMS service was not in regard to quality of service, but rather that the service simply wasn't always available when it was needed.
"This is about providing a service to the community," Tyler said. "Right now, Karnes County EMS does a great job, when they are here. We had two horrific weeks of, 'Do we have 911? Do we not have 911? Do we have 911 for a couple of hours?' We can't do this anymore. We have calls that are missed... They are great people. I like most of them. They are good people, but we don't have, Karnes County EMS does not have the circle -- the 24/7, the right skill mix, we do not have the right skill mix... The basics on the truck? I don't have an IV. I have no support from Karnes County EMS on this through the hospital."
"They need your support," Tyler said. "They need the financial support... We can't do this anymore."
Otto Kaiser Memorial Hospital CEO David Lee said that he does not see much interest from the hospital board in assuming management of local EMS services.
"We have a need for transfer service, as well," Lee said. "What has been talked about here is the 911 part of the service, if the hospital takes this on, we have the other side of it – we have the need to transfer these patients to a higher level of care, and there is a potential conflict of interest there."
Lee added that the hospital district is not prepared to immediately assume the responsibility.
"For the hospital to take it over at this point, it would not be a quick fix," Lee said. "From our perspective, this is something that needs to be addressed much quicker than the hospital would have the ability to do. We don't know how to run an EMS and we never have and so it would be starting from scratch and it would not be quick, to do it right."
Judge Shaw said she was unsure of the legal issues that lie ahead regarding taking the next step.
"This is new to me," Shaw said.
Commissioner Dupnik said that at the end of June the county will have 24 hours to appoint an interim EMS administrator and 48 hours to notify the state and turn in proper documentation. By September, Karnes County EMS would need to be relicensed, he said.
Dennis Kelley, with Texas Regional EMS, a company that has been contracting EMS backup and patient transfer services locally for the past 10 years, expressed concerns about possible changes in the local EMS system.
"I probably, out of this whole group of people here, have more to lose out of this discussion than anybody here," Kelley said. "I know the ins and outs of Karnes County... I do not think that the volunteer system has gone by the wayside."
Kelley said Atascosa County, Cuero, Wilson County, Goliad County and others all run services with paid employees and volunteers.
Kelley said his company is prepared to continue to offer professional EMS services.
"Just so everybody knows, in Karnes County, Texas Regional EMS, we run full time paramedic-staffed trucks. So every time you call us you get a paramedic. So it is not like we are a Podunk ambulance service out here that does it... The people in Karnes County are getting the best care that is out there."
Judge Shaw asked what should be placed on the agenda for the next meeting of Commissioners Court, and Commissioner Pete Jauer said that the appointment of an interim director for Karnes County EMS needs to be on the agenda.
Commissioner Dupnik asked that requesting bids for full paid EMS services also be placed on the agenda.
One local EMS worker told the court that although they are called a volunteer service, the EMS workers are paid for their services.
After further discussion, the court also decided to include on the agenda for the next meeting accepting contract application for back-up EMS services, the possible lease or purchase of the facility currently owned by Texas Regional EMS and acknowledgement of memorandum of understanding between Texas Regional EMS and Karnes County for coverage.
"I am accepting direction right now," Judge Shaw said. "I don't know anything about EMS. I don't like blood."
"There has never been a problem with EMS in Karnes County until just now," Shaw said. "I don't think anybody has ever dealt with this before... I don't know what statute says."
The court discussed whether or not the EMS director would be appointed by the county judge or Commissioners Court. County Attorney Herb Hancock said he believed the county judge has the authority to make the appointment.
The court then discussed who would provide EMS service beginning June 22 and continuing through such time new interim leadership would be appointed.
Dennis Kelley with Texas Regional EMS offered to provide immediate EMS service for the county. Another representative of an EMS services company present at the meeting made a similar offer.
Commissioner Dupnik made a motion to have Texas Regional EMS provide EMS services as needed until a new appointment was made to fill the vacancy left upon Johnny Smart's resignation.
The motion carried on a 3-0 vote with Dupnik, Jauer and Shaw all voting in favor.

[ Editor's Note: This is a preview of Chapter 1 from O'Reilly's upcoming Version Control with Subversion. ]
Version control is the art of managing changes to information. It has long been a critical tool for programmers, who typically spend their time making small changes to software and then undoing those changes the next day. But the usefulness of version control software extends far beyond the bounds of the software development world. Anywhere you can find people using computers to manage information that changes often, there is room for version control. And that's where Subversion comes into play.
This chapter contains a high-level introduction to Subversion: what it is; what it does; how to get it.

Version Control with Subversion
Subversion is a free/open-source version control system. That is, Subversion manages files and directories over time. Atree of files is placed into a central repository. The repository is much like an ordinary file server, except that it remembers every change ever made to the files and directories. This lets you recover older versions of data, or examine the history of how your data changed. In this regard, many people think of a version control system as a sort of time machine.
Subversion can access its repository across networks, which allows it to be used by people on different computers. At some level, the ability for various people to modify and manage the same set of data from their respective locations fosters collaboration. Progress can occur more quickly without a single conduit through which all modifications must occur. And because the work is versioned, you need not fear that quality is the trade-off for losing that conduit—if some incorrect change is made to the data, just undo that change.
Some version control systems are also software configuration management (SCM) systems. These systems are specifically tailored to manage trees of source code, and have many features that are specific to software development—such as nativelyunderstanding programming languages, or supplying tools for building software. Subversion, however, is not one of these systems. It is a general system that can be used to manage any collection of files. For you, those files might be source code—for others, anything from grocery shopping lists to digital video mixdowns and beyond.
In early 2000, CollabNet, Inc. began seeking developers to write a replacement for CVS. CollabNet offers a collaboration software suite called SourceCast, of which one component is version control. Although SourceCast used CVS as its initial version control system, CVS's limitations were obvious from the beginning, and CollabNet knew it would eventually have to find something better. Unfortunately, CVS had become the de facto standard in the open source world largely because there wasn't anything better, at least not under a free license. So CollabNet determined to write a new version control system from scratch, retaining the basic ideas of CVS, but without the bugs and misfeatures.
In February 2000, they contacted Karl Fogel, the author of Open Source Development with CVS (Coriolis, 1999), and asked if he'd like to work on this new project. Coincidentally, at the time Karl was already discussing a design for a new version control system with his friend Jim Blandy. In 1995, the two had started Cyclic Software, a company providing CVS support contracts, and although they later sold the business, they still used CVS every day at their jobs. Their frustration with CVS had led Jim to think carefully about better ways to manage versioned data, and he'd already come up with not only the name Subversion, but also with the basic design of the Subversion repository. When CollabNet called, Karl immediately agreed to work on the project, and Jim got his employer, RedHat Software, to essentially donate him to the project for an indefinite period of time. CollabNet hired Karl and Ben Collins-Sussman, and detailed design work began in May. With the help of some well-placed prods from Brian Behlendorf and Jason Robbins of CollabNet, and Greg Stein (at the time an independent developer active in the WebDAV/DeltaV specification process), Subversion quickly attracted a community of active developers. It turned out that many people had had the same frustrating experiences with CVS, and welcomed the chance to finally do something about it.
The original design team settled on some simple goals. They didn't want to break new ground in version control methodology, they just wanted to fix CVS. They decided that Subversion would match CVS's features, and preserve the same development model, but not duplicate CVS's most obvious flaws. And although it did not need to be a drop-in replacement for CVS, it should be similar enough that any CVS user could make the switch with little effort.
After fourteen months of coding, Subversion became self-hosting on August 31, 2001. That is, Subversion developers stopped using CVS to manage Subversion's own source code, and started using Subversion instead.
While CollabNet started the project, and still funds a large chunk of the work (it pays the salaries of a few full-time Subversion developers), Subversion is run like most open-source projects, governed by a loose, transparent set of rules that encourage meritocracy. CollabNet's copyright license is fully compliant with the Debian Free Software Guidelines. In other words, anyone is free to download, modify, and redistribute Subversion as he pleases; no permission from CollabNet or anyone else is required.
When discussing the features that Subversion brings to the version control table, it is often helpful to speak of them in terms of how they improve upon CVS's design. If you're not familiar with CVS, you may not understand all of these features. And if you're not familiar with version control at all, your eyes may glaze over unless you first read Chapter 2, in which we provide a gentle introduction to version control in general.
Subversion provides:
Figure 1-1 illustrates what one might call a mile-high view of Subversion's design.
Figure 1-1. Subversion's architecture
On one end is a Subversion repository that holds all of your versioned data. On the other end is your Subversion client program, which manages local reflections of portions of that versioned data (called working copies). Between these extremes are multiple routes through various Repository Access (RA) layers. Some of these routes go across computer networks and through network servers which then access the repository. Others bypass the network altogether and access the repository directly.
Subversion is built on a portability layer called APR (the Apache Portable Runtime library). This means Subversion should work on any operating system that the Apache httpd server runs on: Windows, Linux, all flavors of BSD, Mac OS X, Netware, and others.
The easiest way to get Subversion is to download a binary package built for your operating system. Subversion's website often has these packages available for download, posted by volunteers. The site usually contains graphical installer packages for users of Microsoft operating systems. If you run a Unix-like operating system, you can use your system's native package distribution system (RPMs, DEBs, the ports tree, etc.) to get Subversion.
Alternately, you can build Subversion directly from source code. From the Subversion website, download the latest source-code release. After unpacking it, follow the instructions in the INSTALL file to build it. Note that a released source package contains everything you need to build a command-line client capable of talking to a remote repository (in particular, the apr, apr-util, and neon libraries). But optional portions of Subversion have many other dependencies, such as Berkeley DB and possibly Apache httpd. If you want to do a complete build, make sure you have all of the packages documented in the INSTALL file. If you plan to work on Subversion itself, you can use your client program to grab the latest, bleeding-edge source code. This is documented in "Get the Source Code."
Subversion, once installed, has a number of different pieces. The following is a quick overview of what you get. Don't be alarmed if the brief descriptions leave you scratching your head—there are plenty more pages in this book devoted to alleviating that confusion.
Assuming you have Subversion installed correctly, you should be ready to start. The next two chapters will walk you through the use of svn, Subversion's command-line client program.

When: Probably from the 6th century BC
Where: Etruria, on the Western coast of Italy
Origin: It is probably from Etruscan origin
The Giglio wreck was found by a British diver named Vallintine in 1961 and heavily looted until the eighties. It was excavated by Mensun Bound between 1982 and 1986.
Construction Features
No data about its probable size or drawing of the site seams to have been yet released. The keel was preserved along around 3 m length presumably in the zone of the stern. It had rabbets in all it's preserved extension. It's section varied between 206 x 196 mm (molded x sided) at the after end and 119 x 196 mm at the other end. No frames seam to have been preserved. Four planks were preserved, one on one side of the keel and three on the other. From the drawing, the planking thickness seems to be between 4 and 4.5 cm. It showed triangular notches cut along the inboard edges and holes drilled diagonally down, emerging on the seam. Each hole was plugged with a small peg. At intervals, between the holes for the lacing, horizontal wooden dowels were placed in the strakes, through the seam. Caulking was apparently done with pitch or resin. Nine different species of trees were supposed to have been used in the construction of the hull. It is referred that the planking is made of pine (Pinus sylvestris) and the keel of what is referred as a 'heavy timber'. No dimension of the dowels or their spacing is given in the bibliography available. The pegs had Ø of 7/8 mm and lengths of a 'few' cm. No information on their spacing is available. No information on the type of lacing is given.

Flagging revenues, higher costs open budget gapsBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | January 03,2013MONTPELIER Faced with underperforming state revenues and higher-than-expected costs for mental health and human services, administration officials are asking lawmakers to dip into reserve funds and expend some recent court settlements.
The annual budget adjustment process got under way in earnest Wednesday when Finance Commissioner James Reardon unveiled a plan to plug the budgetary holes that have opened up since lawmakers approved the fiscal year 2013 spending plan in May.
Among the biggest setbacks: a July report in which state economists reduced revenue estimates by more than $10 million.
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding said weaker revenue forecasts have been compounded by increasing demands on government services.
In the big picture, one of the challenges we continue to face in government is that despite everyone asking for small, efficient government, the expectations for what government should be undertaking continue to grow, Spaulding said.
To preserve government services without running a deficit, Spaulding said, the Shumlin administration is asking lawmakers to take about $4.7 million from two reserve funds. He also wants them to spend the roughly $4.7 million collected in three major court settlements last year related to consumer protection.
This is ... to make sure we carry those programs through, cover our caseload increases and finish with a balanced budget, Spaulding said during a briefing for the media.
Upward pressures on this years budget are legion, ranging from $200,000 for increased mosquito control efforts in the wake of an eastern equine encephalitis outbreak this summer, to $560,000 in unanticipated gasoline costs for state police cruisers.
The lions share of the unexpected costs, however, stems from health care and human services, where the rollout of a new mental health system and higher caseloads have increased budgets, according to Reardon.
The most pointed increase comes at the Department of Mental Health, which will need about $20 million more than what lawmakers budgeted.
Mental Health Commissioner Mary Moulton said the additional request more than 10 percent of the annual budget stems largely from a failure to plan for operating costs at the newly opened eight-bed Green Mountain Psychiatric Care Center in Morrisville.
It just was not budgeted for, Moulton said Wednesday.
Rep. Martha Heath, a Westford Democrat and chairwoman of the House Committee on Appropriations, said the increase in mental health spending isnt as pronounced as it appears on paper. New costs being absorbed in mental health, Heath said, have freed up money elsewhere in state government. All told, Heath said, the net increase in mental health spending amounts to only about $4.7 million in general fund money.
At the Department for Children and Families, costs are up by more than $10 million over what the administration projected earlier this year, an increase due largely to the number of children and adults using services, Reardon said.
He said that isnt necessarily a bad thing. For instance, Vermont will spent about $2 million more than expected to accommodate the high number of kids enrolled in early child care programs deemed to have met certain quality standards.
And thats something Im more than happy to pay for, because if you have quality child care at the front end, you have more chances for success as you enter elementary education, Reardon said.
He said he was more troubled by the nearly $4 million increase at the Department of Aging and Independent Living, money needed for services to people with disabilities.
That is not sustainable from my perspective, he said. And that is a combination of both new caseload and additional needs for existing caseload.
Administration officials resolved much of the budgetary shortfall by finding other revenue sources.
The Tax Department has seen fewer claims than it expected for homeowner and renter rebates, resulting in about $1.7 million in extra revenue.
The states share of Medicaid and long-term care costs, meanwhile, is about $13 million less than what lawmakers had thought it would be. And an actuarial revision in the state health insurance program freed up about $5.8 million.
Attorney General William Sorrell has collected about $4.7 million in settlements with GlaxoSmithKline, Janssen Pharma and Capital One money Reardon said should be used to plug the gap. He said he could not recall a year in which the state had relied so heavily upon court settlements to resolve midyear budget difficulties.
Heath, whose committee is meeting this week to vet the budget adjustment plan, said shes grateful the state has some Medicaid savings to offset some of the other increases. She said lawmakers will likely have questions about some aspects of the administrations proposal, including a request to double the budget for emergency housing assistance, from about $2 million to $4 million.
Which is really just money thats going to motel beds, Heath said. Well want to look at whats being done to prevent people from losing their homes in the first place.

By Sharna Johnson: CNJ staff writer
Laura McNaughton was probably not a random homicide victim, Curry County's undersheriff said on Tuesday.
Doug Bowman said investigators are talking to "less than 10" people who may have knowledge about the 30-year-old Clovis woman's slaying. Bowman said he believes McNaughton may have known her killer.
Officials declined again on Tuesday to release the cause of McNaughton's death, saying it could hamper their investigation. She was found in a ditch about 2:15 p.m. Saturday, two miles south of the Pleasant Hill Fire Department north of Clovis.
"There is no reason for people to panic," Bowman said. "I don't think there's a serial killer on the loose. That's just a gut feeling I have, (based on) what we're working with here."
But Bowman said officials do not know where McNaughton was killed and they have not identified a murder weapon.
He said law officers have not released the cause of death because "right now, only the (killer) knows" how McNaughton died.
Officials have said hunters found the victim's body.
Two of those hunters talked with the Clovis News Journal on Tuesday, but asked their names not be released because of safety concerns.
Both said she was naked, had been bleeding from her left ear and had a gouge or cut on her left knee.
"Her ear was mangled," one hunter said. "It was pretty disturbing."
Both men said McNaughton's body appeared to have been carefully placed in the ditch, not pushed from a vehicle."
"Her left arm was up in the air," one hunter said. "Her hand was across her stomach; legs together."
Both hunters said they talked with police, who took pictures of the hunters' boots.
"It's been hard to sleep and everything (since then)," one hunter said. "To see a sight like that and it being in your home town … I'd just like to know who did it and how it happened. She has family."

NACL Theatre beats fundraising goal
January 30, 2013 —
HIGHLAND LAKE, NY — NACL Theatre has exceeded its recent fundraising goal of $12,000, receiving $22,290 in donations from 241 people during a 30-day online Kickstarter campaign. The funds will enable the ensemble theatre company to finish its new work, "struck." Funding was enhanced by a local sponsorship from Catskill Farms in Eldred.
In this play, a woman who suffers a stroke experiences (along with the audience) a surreal journey as her body, mind and soul dangle, sing, skate and dance between life and death.
In addition to those pictured in the accompanying photograph, others working on the project include technical director Zoot, filmmaker Tina Spangler and Pam Mayer, all of Narrowsburg, and Hall Smyth of Pond Eddy. Director Ker Wells and lighting engineer/inventor Jim Ruxton are from Hamilton, ON, Canada, joined by two New Yorkers, lighting designer Stephen Arnold and playwright Kristen Kosmas.
The performance will premiere at Cleveland Public Theatre in March and will open NACL's 2013 season in May. In December, "struck" will have a three-week run at HERE Arts Center in Soho, New York City.

Baeolophus bicolor
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
Ed Schneider
A little gray bird with an echoing voice, the Tufted Titmouse is common in eastern deciduous forests and a frequent visitor to feeders. The large black eyes, small, round bill, and brushy crest gives these birds a quiet but eager expression that matches the way they flit through canopies, hang from twig-ends, and drop in to bird feeders. When a titmouse finds a large seed, you'll see it carry the prize to a perch and crack it with sharp whacks of its stout bill.
Tufted Titmice look large among the small birds that come to feeders, an impression that comes from their large head and eye, thick neck, and full bodies. The pointed crest and stout bill help identify titmice even in silhouette.
Soft silvery gray above and white below, with a rusty or peach-colored wash down the flanks. A black patch just above the bill makes the bird look snub-nosed.
Tufted Titmice are acrobatic foragers, if a bit slower and more methodical than chickadees. They often flock with chickadees, nuthatches, and woodpeckers and are regular visitors to feeders, where they are assertive over smaller birds. Their flight tends to be fluttery but level rather than undulating.
You'll find Tufted Titmice in most eastern woodlands below 2,000 feet elevation, including deciduous and evergreen forests. Tufted Titmice are also common visitors at feeders and can be found in backyards, parks, and orchards.
The Black-crested Titmouse of central Texas has a white forehead and fully black crest compared with Tufted Titmouse's black forehead and gray crest. Chickadees are slightly smaller, lack the crest, and have bold black-and-white head, cheeks, and throat. The Oak and Juniper titmice of the western United States don't overlap in range with Tufted Titmouse. They are smaller and plainer brown.
Tufted Titmouse are regulars at backyard bird feeders, especially in winter. They prefer sunflower seeds but will eat suet, peanuts, and other seeds as well. Find out more about what this bird likes to eat and what feeder is best by using the Project FeederWatch Common Feeder Birds bird list.
Tufted Titmouse build their nests in cavities, so putting up nest boxes is a good way to attract breeding titmice to your yard. Make sure you put it up well before breeding season. Attach a guard to keep predators from raiding eggs and young. Find out more about nest boxes on our Attract Birds pages. You'll find plans for building a nest box of the appropriate size on our All About Birdhouses site.
Look for Tufted Titmice flitting through the outer branches of tree canopies in deciduous woods, parks, and backyards. A quiet walk through woodlands will often turn up the twittering of a mixed-species foraging flock, and you'll likely find titmice in attendance. You'll often hear the high, whistled peter-peter-peter song well before you see the bird.

June 21, 2013 —
On Friday June 14, 2013 at approximately 10:30 p.m., Deputies from the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office responded to 136 Anawanda Lake Rd. in the Town of Thompson for a report of a domestic dispute. Once at the scene deputies separated the parties. One of the subjects involved in the dispute, Joseph W. McCombs, 33, of Loch Sheldrake became agitated and started fighting with the deputies.
He was arrested and placed in the back of a patrol car at which time he attempted to use his head and feet to knock out the side window. McCombs was charged with Felony Criminal Mischief, Assault on a Police Officer, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. He was arraigned before Town Justice Martin Miller and sent to the Sullivan County Jail in lieu of $7,000 bail.

speaking of patron.. (I heard a fan call Jaime, Patron, out of respect. Patron means "the boss." "Un Patron para el patron."
Happy belated birthday Jaime Jarrin!
Jaime Jarrin has been the Spanish voice of the Dodgers for 50 years! He turned 74 December 10th. I remembered but have not been posting lately, but I have been reading you all!
Jaime was born in Quito, Ecuador. Jaime began work as a broadcaster in Ecuador when he was 16. He went on to become the announcer for the National Congress of Ecuador. He came to the U.S. in June of 1955. At that time he had never seen a baseball game!
When the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958, KWKW, where Jarrin was the news and sports director, picked up the Spanish language rights for the games and the rest is history.
Here is a pic of the two Hall of Famers, Vin Scully and Jaime Jarrin. the picture is from 2009 giveaway calendar.
Gentlemen: You look marvelous!!
Dodger Christmas Gift for Season Ticket Holders!
So Saturday I get this box and I knew it was my Dodger Christmas gift for season ticket holders! The year before we had gotten a Christmas globe and the year before that a mini repplica of Dodger Stadium. This year is a replica of our seats!
My friend Erik got his in the form of a bench since he sits in the pavilion. Here is a picture
Here is my friend LTD23's pic
Aren't they adorable! I love them!!!
Until I saw these pictures, I realized that I don't have the letters and numbers for mine. I must have dropped it when I openned the box.
Here is a pic of mine but along some other Dodger memorabillia and some my baseball books.
Did I say that the seats are adorable!?!!
Next to the box snowman is my Dodger Stadium replica, my Dodger seats from this year, and the Dodger Xmas globe. You can see part of the baseball books. There is Miss Piggy in a Dodger uniform, a Dodger Dog, Jackie Robinson statue and Sandy Koufax statue.
Everyone have a wonderful, safe and healthy merry Christmas!

I love your collection, Emma. But I especially love your Christmas present from the Dodgers. Very sweet of them to say thanks to their season tickets holders.
Hey Emma!
I know, it's been a long time! Love those pics! Yes, those seat replicas are very cute indeed! Did you read on ITD that I officially have my business and my own website! Check it out: www. cpbookkeepingservice.com
Okay, sorry for the cheap plug! 🙂 From your last thread, yes, we Dodger fans can get all gloom and doom about our ownership problems and all, but you've got it right girl – I can't stay away from Dodger Stadium just to make a statement.
Guess what? I think we are going to Camelback this ST!!! I can't wait!!! We're going (I think) the last full week of March. Of course, we're probably going to go to many of the parks (especially the Cubs and the Angels), but we'll be there! Actually, now that I think of it, I think there is a ST game between the Dodgers and Angels sometime that week. I don't know; we'll see! I'll let you know when I know more…
Mee too I love them! During December when a small box arrives from around the area, I know…and I get excited opening it and looking at it!
I did read about your website! Congratulations on starting your business! I'll check it out! Have you done business cards? And that is wonderful that you are going to Camelback! You and your husband will love it! Hopefully we will be there at the same time! I love running into people I know! Yes! Let me know when you know more about your trip. I am excited for you!!
Thx Emma!
Yeah, I do have business cards. Actually, they just arrived today! Do you want some? If you want, you can e-mail me your address and I'll send some to you – if you don't mind a little late Christmas letter with it! I'm excited about ST. I will definitely let you know more when I get more news; probably closer to March…
Funny thing about my website. I've been working with the company that is hosting my website. You KNOW I had to get the Dodgers and ITD in there someway. You know many on ITD have given me the nickname CP – Hey! CP Bookkeeping! Plus, when you look at my website look at the color up at top!!! Yep, you guessed it! Dodger Blue!!! 🙂
I loved that seat idea.
I fired off an Email to my Season Ticket Rep asking him why we are not that clever.
Heck, I have not gotten anything from them for the last two years.
Used to get good stuff (lol).
Again, hope you have the best holiday season and a safe New Years.
I will try and get down a shot of Patron to wish you the best for 2010. (The things I do for online friends)
Rays Renegade
the link did not work. Maybe I got something wrong there. I'll email you my address.
You are so sweet. LOL. Patron goes down smooooth. And good for you that you notified your season ticket rep.
You too! Have a great Holiday and a safe year!
Go Dodgers! Go Rays! My brother Vic's two favorite teams.
Interesting Emma. I just looked at my website, just to make sure I spelled it right up above, and I did. (You know, all of those double letters in a row!) Anyways, don't feel bad; bookkeeping is NOT an easy word to spell! 🙂
I like that collection of baseball books there, Emma. I'm building a library of my own. Merry Christmas to you!
~ Will the Smiler
That is such an awesome gift from the Dodgers. So cool that they actually model it after your seats.
I was very happy to see the selection of books you've got there, a couple of my favorites on your shelf.
Happy Holidays,
Merry Christmas to you and your family, hope you have fun and enjoy…:-)
Outside the Phillies Looking In
I found you! You are probably right that I was not spelling bookkeepnig..I mean bookkeeping correct. LOL. Website looks great girl!
I love books! I have a few more baseball books that are…well around the house.
Thanks! Thank you for stopping by! I sent the Dodgers an email that I love our gift this year. Well, I do love it every year!
Same to you! Have a great Christmas. I always try to have fun and look at the bright side of things!
Nice gifts from the Dodgers! Still, I bet you'd rather have an ace starting pitcher for Christmas…. If I wore Dodger blue, that's what I'd want. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Emma!
I'm sorry for the off topic question but would you maybe tell me where to find the design that you're using? I would like to have the same blog template or maybe one that is similar to yours. Could you maybe tell me where you got it from?
All questions welcome. The design is a standard for MLB once you choose your MLB baseball team. Hope that helps! If not let me know, and I'll try to be more specific. Thanks

I can't seem to find a thread about this but I know there will be several Bugs in attendance.
Anyone interested in meeting up before or afterwards?
over 4 years ago
Posted over 4 years ago
Me! Probably before as I am not as fast as a lot of people doing it :)
Posted over 4 years ago in reply to JustMe
I'm in, whenever really though expecting to be super slow! : D
Posted over 4 years ago in reply to KandiKane
It doesn't matter how slow or fast you are, I hear the pubs will still be open until late . . (and KandiKane, you are not slow!)
I'll be in Brighton on the Saturday heading home on the Monday.
KandiKane / JustMe you really need to meet up with myself and Adam. Not sure that walking like a cowboy into a bar in the gay capital of the UK with Adam is sending out the right message.
Adam, I know foxy will be there for the run but she will be heading back after the run.
Posted over 4 years ago in reply to JohnFol.
I'm expecting to do my usual post-Brighton marathon routine:
Cake at Metro Deco, beer, fish & chips on the beach and ice cream.
I can even be talked into a round of crazy golf.
Posted over 4 years ago in reply to Adam
I usually head straight home as I depend on a lift from someone. Will see if I can convince my friend to maybe stay a bit longer. She's not running & is usually up for going to the pub
And JF, I bet you'll get your bum pinched!!! :)
Not by me!
I should hope not Adam!!! There are plenty of guys in Brighton who would be more than happy to do it!
err before you arrange for anything involving blokes and my bum . .. .
He he! I wouldn't have to arrange anything! It'll just happen 'naturally' :D
Race packs are arriving ... 1687 blue!
Got mine too!
Think I arranged to pick my race pack up but am number 8586 or hmmm will check what I put on FB. So any thoughts on meeting up afterwards? Am not hugely reliable with my phone so unlikely to notice phone calls etc post race, so perhaps a pub or something where bugs might come and go and we may just bump into each other? : D
Got my number last week BUT unfortunately I have had to pull out.... :(
My knee healed up pretty quickly but I have had an issue with my leg ever since. Waiting to get an appointment with a physio but been told by my doc who is a marathon runner that yes, he can give me strong painkillers & I will finish the marathon but I might never run again... Not a happy bunny :'(
Will still go & watch though!
JustMe that is a real shame and not worth the risk based on their advice.
BTW KandiKane, Adam, Nick and I have all met so it would be great if you could somehow meet up with us for a celebratory cake / coffee / beer afterwards.
I'm planning on being down the night before so if you play crazy golf, or would like to meet up at the expo, drop me a line

What is in this article?:
- Next wave of precision ag data
- Data use trends
- New precision services
The new precision frontier will turn precision ag data into profitable management decisions.
More About:
The first wave of precision agriculture began with the yield monitor and the promise of improved productivity from a better understanding of the relationship between soils, fertility, genetics and yield. Despite that promise, first-wave profits have been largely generated by hardware that steers tractors and turns planter row units and sprayer sections off and on.
That's about to change. Not that navigation systems, swath-control and other automation technologies are going by the wayside. But in the future, precision profits will be dominated by decisions driven by data collected by yield monitors and multifunction tractor displays, not by savings from row shut-offs.
"In the past 10 years, we have picked the low-hanging fruit to improve farming efficiency and control costs," says Matt Darr, a precision agriculture specialist at Iowa State University. "But the writing is on the wall. You can only make so much money by saving money. Long term, it is more production that leads to enhanced profits. Spatial information is a big factor in what is needed to achieve that."
Spatial information boils down to data, and lots of it. But it will require special savvy to turn megabytes of precision data into information that drives profitable decisions.

Dear Editor,
On several occasions, I have written letters concerning a professor in England who commented that it would be acceptable to terminate the life of an ill child up to age four. I believed that this was the beginning of a slippery slope. Well, according to syndicated columnist, Cal Thomas, the country of Belgium has reached that goal.*
The Belgium Senate has voted to extend a 2002 law legalizing euthanasia for adults so that it includes incurably ill children.*
Part of our president's plan for the new health care law will allow an independent board to consider the value of an ailing individual, e.g. age, physical condition, value to society and cost of continuing care before allowing possible life-saving medical help to be administered. The family will have no say.
Is this what we want? Count me out!!
William J. Patsche

Vermont Stage approaches the cutting edge comfortablyJune 15,2014The Bake Off, this week at Burlingtons FlynnSpace, is just one of many indications of how far Vermont Stage Company has come over the past three seasons likely becoming the states foremost year-round professional theater company.
The brainchild of VSCs artistic director of the aforementioned three years, Cristina Alicea, The Bake Off divides a popular play into three parts, each presented by a different director and cast.
This year, the play was Christopher Durangs wacky comedy, Beyond Therapy, and the cast changes Tuesday were made mid-scene seamlessly and hilariously.
But The Bake Off is merely window dressing to Aliceas tenure at the helm of Burlingtons resident professional theater company. Much more importantly, she and her company have refreshed the Vermont theater scene with work that is both challenging and entertaining.
This past season serves as an example. Opening was a refreshed approach to Yasmina Rezas hit comedy of intellectual pretension, Art, contrasted with the intense psychological family drama of Jon Robert Baitzs Other Desert Cities. And the company premiered a Vermont play, Greg Pierces quirky and surreal drama The Quarry.
Still, the pièce de résistance of Vermont Stages 2013-14 season was David Ives dark and sexy black comedy Venus in Fur. Alicea herself directed this delicious two-character battle of the sexes. Not only was it riveting and funny, it was well out of the mainstream of the rest of Vermonts theater season which was pretty ordinary.
That production was also emblematic of another refreshing policy of Aliceas. One of the two actors was from New York, the other, Jordan Gullikson, a particularly fine Vermont professional. Alicea regularly casts excellent Vermont actors, adding those from New York when necessary or desirable, benefitting all.
Alicea came to Vermont from Washington, D.C., where she was assistant to the managing director at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company. Previously, while in New York, she directed more than 20 plays, most of which were new pieces by emerging playwrights. She earned her bachelors degree in theater at George Mason University.
After more than a decade with Mark Nash at the helm, Alicea proved an inspired choice for Vermont Stage. Nash, a well-respected veteran, had been more traditional in his choice of repertory. He also tended toward favoring New York actors. (Nashs fine, locally inspired holiday creation, Winter Tales, continues as an annual event at Vermont Stage).
In her first season, 2011-12, Alicea revealed her passion for quirky but first-rate theater with Anna Zeiglers feminist Photograph 51 and Sarah Ruhls oddball contemporary comedy, The Clean House. And she instituted the first Bake Off with Ruhls comic take on the Greek legend, Eurydice.
Alicea also came along at a good time for Vermont theater. Just two years ago, White River Junctions Northern Stage fired its founding artistic director, Brooke Wetzel Ciardelli, for undisclosed reasons that were not related to ethics. Before she left, Ciardelli had created the states most successful year-round theater with a budget nearing $2.5 million.
Ciardelli was a brilliant theater manager in that all this happened with only short dips into the red. She was and is also an excellent director. Her swan song was a truly compelling production of John Logans Red in March 2012.
Upon her departure, Northern Stage immediately dumbed down, both its quality of performance and choice of repertory. This past season, however, shows signs for optimism including plans to build a new theater.
Alicea, in many ways, seems to be taking on Ciardellis mantle. Not only does she manage a thriving theater company, she is introducing excellent performances of intriguing plays.
Alicea just announced Vermont Stages 2014-15 season and the trend toward unpredictability continues: Christopher Durangs Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, Oct. 8-26; Winter Tales, Dec. 10-14; Or, by Liz Duffy Adams, Jan. 28-Feb. 15; Greg Pierces Slowgirl, March 11-29; The Mountaintop, by Katori Hall, April 22-May 10; and The Bake Off, June 16-21. (For information, go online to www.vtstage.org.)

I wipe the pump parts with the Medela quick wipes between uses during the day, then rinse quickly (no soap) and steam in the microwave bag when I get home. I used to just use soap & water at home (no steam bag), but then one time I think I didn't get all the soap out and the milk looked too bubbly, so I dumped it - and I don't want to do that again. I also steam clean the bottle nipples that DS uses each day. I don't bother steaming the bottles anymore -- I just use soap & water & a bottle brush to keep them clean and residue-free.
The quick wipes come in 2 different size packages. The smaller size is cheaper per-wipe than the bigger size because the bigger size pack has each wipe individually wrapped and it comes with a free steam bag. The smaller size is just a resealable bag with a stack of wipes. I've bought both but I like the resealable bag (smaller size) better because the wipes are not as wet. The individually wrapped wipes have a smell to them that I don't like -- the smaller pack doesn't have any smell at all.
I have an extra set of 2 flanges/valves/etc for my PISA that I use when I'm home. They were pretty cheap at Target ($6.99 each?) and include everything -- the flange, valve, etc. They do not totally disassemble like the ones that came with the pump which is why I don't like to "travel" to work with them. It is nice to have a fresh set if I get home and want to pump an extra time for the freezer supply without cleaning off the ones I used all day.
I pump into the medela bottles and put them in the little insulated bag that came with the PISA. I throw in the special ice pack that came with the pump that hugs the bottles.

The Formatt 127mm Graduated Sepia 3 Filter is one of the most widely used category of filters. They enhance reality, adding a touch of subtlety or drama to the image.
This filter is wonderful when you want an older style, warm toned photo reminiscent of photography from the turn of the century.
Often it is necessary or desirable is able to balance the light intensity in one part of a scene with another. This is especially true in situations where you don't have total light control, as in bright contrasty landscapes.
Sometimes it is also desirable to add color to part of the photograph. For example, to add blue to only the sky. Formatt Color Graduated filters are half-color, half-clear, with a graduated transition for blending into the scene. They are available in an array of colors. Soft/hard indicates the degree of transition.
Note: Formatt Graduated Sepia Filters comes in strengths from 1-3 with 3 having the greatest effect
