Race Rewind ... In his last appearance at Darlington Raceway, Menard started the No. 27 Chevrolet from the 14th position and brought home a 13th-place finish, his best effort to-date at the track.
Menard's Thoughts on Racing at Darlington Raceway: "It a great track, and a lot of fun to drive. Since the repave we haven't seen the tire wear that Darlington (Raceway) is known for. With the new pavement it has lost some of its character and drives a lot like some of the 1.5-mile tracks. It's still a really cool track to race on and I'm anxious to see what our Pittsburgh Paints/Menards Chevrolet has when we unload for practice on Friday. Turns one and two are really fast, and in turns three and four you've got to slow the car up a lot, which makes it tough to gauge how you want to lay your splitter down. You've just got to decide which end you want to set up for."
Kevin Harvick
No. 29 Budweiser Chevrolet SS
This Week's Budweiser Chevrolet at Darlington Raceway ... Kevin Harvick will pilot chassis No. 383 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stable in the Southern 500. This is the same Chevrolet the Bakersfield, Calif., native drove to Victory Lane at Phoenix International Raceway last November and a 13th-place result in March.
The Track 'Too Tough To Tame' ... Darlington Raceway is one track where Harvick has yet to visit Victory Lane. Since 2001, the RCR veteran driver has made 16 starts collecting two top-five and five top-10 finishes. He holds a 17.6 average starting position coupled with an 18.8 average finishing position, has completed 5,267 of 5,583 (94.3 percent) of the laps contested and is credited with 63 laps led.
New BUD 360° App ... Budweiser is giving consumers a whole new look at what it's like to hit speeds of 190 mph in the No. 29 Budweiser Chevrolet SS with the interactive BUD 360° app. The King of Beers' innovative new app utilizes surround video technology to provide users with a 360-degree look inside Harvick's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series ride as the driver completes several laps at Charlotte Motor Speedway. While Harvick controls the wheel, the consumer controls the view, allowing them to experience the sensation of speed in never-before-seen angles. The app is available for free in the Apple App Store for both iPhone and iPad users. The Budweiser Racing 360° video also is accessible on desktop computers at www.budweiser.com.
Bowtie Can Available Nationwide ... Budweiser's striking and original new beer can - a bowtie-shaped aluminum can that mirrors Budweiser's iconic bowtie logo - is now available in a special 8-pack on store shelves nationwide. The proprietary can, in development since 2010, is created by a 16-step process, which involves 10 steps to form the bottom half of the can and an additional six steps to form the top portion. The bowtie can is another example of how Budweiser continues to innovate, evolve and attract a new generation of beer drinkers. Consumers interested in locating where they can purchase the special 8-pack can call 1-800-dial-Bud.
Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3 ... Harvick and the No. 29 team will participate in a Goodyear tire test on May 7 and 8 at Chicagoland Speedway. They will utilize chassis No. 404 from the RCR stable, which was last seen in action at Texas Motor Speedway in April. Harvick will also be available to the media on Wednesday, May 8 from 12:30-12:45 p.m. Central Time in the track media center.
2012 Race Rewind ... Harvick and the No. 29 Budweiser team collected a 16th-place finish in last season's Southern 500 after battling handling issues at Darlington Raceway.
Share your thoughts on racing at Darlington Raceway. "There is a lot of history at Darlington Raceway. I've been fortunate to win a lot of the marquee races on the schedule, and I mark the Southern 500 on my calendar every year as one I want to win. There is so much history behind this event. It's definitely a race we want to do well in, and Darlington is a race track we want to win at every year."
What makes racing at Darlington Raceway such a challenge for the drivers and teams? "The track was originally not designed for the cars to be running as fast as they are today. The track's very narrow and you carry a lot of speed. From a driver's standpoint, it's very challenging just to keep the car off the wall, but it's also a lot of fun to drive, too."
Talk us through a lap around Darlington Raceway. "Well, any lap around Darlington is a lap where you have to be paying attention to what's going on because you can get yourself in trouble at any point on the race track. You carry a lot of speed into turn one and you run up the banking right up next to the wall and get right back into the throttle. As you come back down the hill you might have to breathe the throttle a little bit, but it's a lot of fun coming out of turn two as it kind of shoots you down the backstretch. Turns three and four are probably the hardest because you carry so much speed off of (turn) two into three and the line kind of moves around a bit there. It's probably the easiest place to get in the wall. Well, it's pretty easy to get in the wall anywhere, but definitely the easiest place to get into the wall is the middle of (turns) three and four."
Do you have any special plans for Mother's Day now that DeLana is a mom? How much of a help was your own mom to get you where you are today? "My biggest plan is to not screw up Sunday in the first year. You don't want to screw up the first Mother's Day. My main objective is to make sure that you have the gift pre-week, and don't forget to hand it out on Sunday. Obviously, my Mom has always been there and has always been supportive of everything I do. That is something you don't want to forget, as well. You want to make sure you don't forget on either front."
Jeff Burton
No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet SS
This Week's No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet at Darlington Raceway ... Jeff Burton will race chassis No. 416 this weekend at Darlington Raceway. This No. 31 Chevrolet has been utilized twice this season, at Auto Club Speedway and Texas Motor Speedway.
Career Darlington Stats ... The Southern 500 marks Burton's 31st start at the 1.366-mile facility. Darlington Raceway is one of Burton's favorite places to visit on the Sprint Cup Series schedule and he has amassed two wins, eight top-five and 16 top-10 finishes at the historic track, leading 817 laps.
No Stranger to Victory Lane ... Burton's six visits to Darlington Raceway's Victory Lane across NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and NASCAR Nationwide Series competition stretch from 1997-2002. He completed a rare sweep of both Sprint Cup Series events in 1999 and both Nationwide Series events in 2002. His first win at the egg-shaped oval took place in the Nationwide Series in 1997. The 45-year old driver also holds trophies for winning the April 2001 race and two Nationwide Series pole awards in 1998 and 2002.
Appearance Alert ... Burton is scheduled to participate in a question-and-answer session at the Team Chevy stage located in the Darlington Raceway display area on Saturday, May 11 at 3:25 p.m. Eastern Time.
Sprint Fan Vote. Vote Now, Vote Often ... Fans have the opportunity to vote Burton into the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race on May 18 with the Sprint Fan Vote. The Sprint Fan Vote was launched in 2004 as a way to bring one more deserving driver into the Sprint All-Star Race to compete for the $1 million payout. There are three ways you can vote for Burton.

Race Rewind 2012 ... After a solid 10th-place qualifying effort, Burton and the No. 31 Chevrolet team battled to find the right handling throughout least season's Southern 500 and finished 18th at Darlington Raceway.
It is known throughout the Sprint Cup Series garage that you love Darlington Raceway, why is that? "I love Darlington Raceway. To be honest, I liked it more before the repave a few years ago. The fresh pavement has put a lot of grip into the track. Handling is still important, but not in the same kind of way. The track is much faster now and you don't have that dramatic fall off with tire wear. I hope the pavement, with age, starts to lose some of that grip and that bad handling comes back, because that is what Darlington is all about. It's still a great race though. To me, with no disrespect to any other race, winning that 500-mile race is huge. The Southern 500 is a big deal to me. It's the race I circle on the schedule every year."

Kalanianaole Highway remains closed and power still out to over a dozen customers in Waimanalo after a a tumultuous car crash sent one man to the hospital in critical condition early Wednesday morning.
According to police, it happened at 3:27 a.m. when a mini-van crashed into a parked car, impacting a utility pole before rolling into the front yard of a home at 410849 Kalanianaole Highway near the 711 store.
Neighbors say police were able to remove a person from the mini-van, described as a man in his 20's, and deliver him to the care of Emergency Medical Services. He was transported in critical condition.
Police say that injured man had told them that he was not the driver, and that the driver had fled the scene after the crash. The victim was the owner of the min-ivan.
Police added that the red min-ivan, initially heading in the Kailua bound direction, involved in the crash may have been speeding prior to the series of crashes.
Another neighbor, whose parked car was impacted by the minivan, says the location of his car may have saved his life. "if my car wasn't sitting here at the time of impact, that van that hit my neighbors yard would have been in my house," said Ace Aiu.
He added that this particular part of the highway sees its fair share of crashes. "It happens a lot at this corner lot here that I'm at," Aiu added. "Numerous times they came through the lot in the corner because now they're whipping around the corner. They have hit the bus stop about ten times not. It's constantly really bad."
The large family that lives in the home impacted by the crash was home at the time but was not injured.
Police are rerouting traffic along Kalanianaole Highway while the scene is cleared and Hawaiian Electric workers repair the impacted utility pole.
Traffic is being re-routed to Walea and Puuone Streets on the Makai side of Kalanianaole Highway and Oluolu St. on the Mauka.
HECO officials say about 1,500 customers initially lost power, with about half of those regaining power about an hour later. 14 customers are still without power Wednesday morning. They are unsure when the repairs will be complete and power will be completely restored.

Hi there
My sister just gave birth to a big baby considered here in my hometown at 4.06 kg or 8.95 pounds. She had to do C-setion as baby's heartbeat deteriorated to 85! Thus her milk flow is slow right now and baby lost 5% of birth weight in 24 hrs! So the nurses and doctors advised on formula milk for the first 3-4 days only, which i really am against.
Can anyone please provide any other solution to keep the baby fed without formula milk?
Thank you!

November 20, 2013 —
Widespread northeastern hurricane damage last fall led to a grant opportunity for town officials to finally relocate a historically flood-prone town facility, but actually getting to the money turned out to be like snagging an elusive brass ring.
Hurricane Sandy prompted a wide-scale federal emergency declaration, which included Sullivan County and led to the funding of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grants, to be administered by the state's Office of Emergency Management (OEM).
Earlier this fall, Highland officials learned of the availability of a $1 billion in state-federal money to lessen the impacts of future damage—so called Hazard Mitigation Grants.
They decided to try for funds to relocate the town highway garage, which borders the Halfway Brook in Eldred and was damaged in and rebuilt after the area's flood of record in 1955. There has been a plan in the works to move it to a town-owned site behind the senior citizen center on Route 55 for some 11 years, but the money has never been available.
So, with word of the Sandy grants available, Supervisor Andrew Boyar learned that Highland was eligible and, at the urging of Councilman Scott Hallock, town officials met with an OEM representative in mid-October. They learned that applications were due by October 30—but applications were not yet available, Boyar told a town board meeting audience on November 12. However, they would have the advice of a state grant technician to help them, they were told.
Town officials and volunteers began the preliminaries and quickly found that the data entry program for the grant was not user-friendly; and the state specialist was never available—a problem that would continue throughout the process, Boyar said.
Grant writers were contracted to expedite the work. They too had their problems with the process. The application was first deemed incomplete, as a score of exhibits sent as a single attachment were misidentified by the program as a single exhibit.
"The grant writers persisted. No one quit," Boyar said. Everything had to be sent in again, as separate attachments this time.
The preparations went on for two full days, from 8:30 a.m. till late at night, "[The grant writers] were great. We never would have gotten it done without them," Boyar said.
The application was finally filed and accepted on October 28, two days ahead of the deadline.
"On the day after, we finally heard from the state technician," Boyar said.
Some 2,000 municipalities are eligible for the funding, and the successful filing does not guarantee funding. If successful, the grant would provide 75%, $1,050,000, of the $1.4 million project.
In a related move, after massaging its language to accommodate emergency management bureaucracy, the town board approved an updated local emergency/hazard mitigation plan, which had to be in place for grant eligibility.
In an unrelated grant action, the board authorized an application for a $50,000 state grant through state Sen. John Bonacic, to plan and develop a community park on town-owned property on River Road in Barryville.

I'm ready to wean and I think my LO is ready to wean too. He hasn't even asked for about 2 or 3 days, even when he was in my room when I was getting dressed and he saw the boobs! I'm 8 weeks pregnant, I have horrible morning sickness and nursing is painful, it makes me really tired and sometimes makes me feel queasy too. If I didn't think he were done, I'd push on through, but I think he's ready to wean.
My question is: do I need to talk to my toddler about the fact that we're weaning and that there will come a time when he doesn't get kikis any more? Or should I just let it happen, never offer the boob (he rarely asks) and let him forget about it? What if he gradually weans and it has been a month and there's no milk left and suddenly he asks for it? Is it better to talk about it beforehand or just let it happen?
I really want to do the right thing. He's very bright and likes to know about everything and I don't want to feel like I'm sneaking this by him. I'm always honest with him and he is very secure because he knows he can trust me. I don't want to sabotage that. He loves to know what's going on and has a huge vocabulary for his age. The problem is, he's incredibly sensitive and already senses a change in his family ( my pregnancy) and I don't want to upset him by talking about this and making an issue of it if he's just ready to let it drop by the wayside. I'm going round in circles here... What do you think?

Dance performance of Vivaldi�'s �The Four Seasons� at Grand Valley
Posted on October 15, 2012
The exuberance of Antonio Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons," as performed by celebrated violin soloist Rachel Barton Pine, will be coupled with the athleticism of modern dance by Thodos Dance Chicago in a unique multi-media interpretation set by Shawn T Bible, Grand Valley faculty artist choreographer.
Grand Valley's Fall Arts Celebration continues with, The Baroque Splendor of Venice: Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" in Dance, presented for one performance, Monday, October 22, 8 p.m. at the Louis Armstrong Theatre, Performing Arts Center, Allendale Campus. Admission is free. Seats fill quickly; arrive early.
Guest artists from Thodos Dance will highlight the event and open the performance with one of their own works. Founded by Melisa Thodos in 1992, ensemble members are noted for their achievement as performers, educators and choreographers — a rather unique combination in the national dance community. They arrived on campus two weeks prior to the performance to work with students and rehearse.
"We have invited 10 dancers, five women and five men, from Thodos to perform alongside four of our GVSU Dance Company members," said Bible. "Adding another level to the performance will be specially created animated software projections that will react to the dancers' movements on stage."
Pine performs on one of the most rare and valuable violins in the world, the ex-Soldat, made in 1742 by Guarneri del Gesu. A review in the Washington Post describes her as "an exciting, boundary-defying performer … in the top echelon." Vivaldi portrays each season of the year as unique in this iconic work, from his opus eight set of 12 concerti entitled "Il cimento dell armonia e dell invenzione (The Test of Harmony and Invention)."
The performance will be followed by a reception. All Fall Arts Celebration events are free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.gvsu.edu/fallarts, or call (616) 331-2180.

A Target for the Bears
Unfortunately, Target
Although rival Wal-Mart
At this point, Target investors are unsure of what to make of the stock. Management has not been able to quickly respond. But unless management figures out from where Target's next leg of growth is going to come, this stock may become target practice for the bears for the foreseeable future.
Target has always proven to be an extraordinarily smart company by the way it has been able to appeal to both the frugal shopper and those with an appetite for the "upscale high-end" category. This model has benefited the company while Target still held true to its strategy of offering great products at discounted prices.
It seems, however, that this advantage is now slowly evaporating as there wasn't much to like in the company's recent earnings report. Sales were up half of 1% to $16.6 billion. As with other large retail chains such as Lowe's
Interestingly, rival Home Depot
Comps, or same-store-sales, is the metric that tracks the sales performance of stores that have been opened at least one year. Target posted a 60-basis-point decline in that category. It's not a great number. But I'm willing to give management credit here for outperforming Wal-Mart, which posted 1.4% decline.

Best-selling author and acclaimed Civil War expert Stephen W. Sears, hailed by The New York Times Book Review as "arguably the preeminent living historian of the war's eastern theater," crafts what will stand the test of time as the definitive history of the greatest battle ever fought on American soil. Drawing on years of research, Sears focuses on the big picture, capturing the entire essence of the momentous three day struggle while offering fresh insights that will surprise even the best versed Civil War buffs.
©2003 Stephen W. Sears (P)2003 Recorded Books, LLC
I favor history, non-fiction, lectures, and the occasional purely fictitious work. I also listen to many children's books with my family.
"I loved this detailed account of the battle"
I've seen some complaints about the author's perspective or personal feelings about various leaders in the battle and campaign, but find them basically uninteresting. This was a superb and detailed account of the battle and it's consequences and aftermath. It's astonishing how many mistakes, miscues and missed opportunities there were in this battle - inlcuding the somewhat accidental initiation of general battle at a site not to Lee's liking.
Keeping it brief - I give it 4 stars as a book I would listen to again, but may not find the time for. It did keep me listening and I did not want to turn the book off - but it didn't drive me mad with the desire to continue the way some books do. I don't fault the book for this - it's tougher to pull off that kind of engagement with historical non-fiction (even though I love the genre).
Highly recommended - especially for those with interest in the battle and it's main leaders or those with a general notion of the battle looking for details.
Thanks - hope this review helps!
"Well read and presented"
This one is on par with what I have listened to so far. The reader added just the right amount of character to the reading.
I wish there were more Civil War related Audible books. I enjoy them very much and they pass the time while driving back and forth to work.
"One of the best books I've read on Gettysburg"
The readers casual style made combined with Mr. Sears style of prose made for an enjoyable listening experience.
The battle of Gettysburg was the greatest battle ever fought in the Western Hemisphere., and one of the most studied. The author puts together regimental histories peronal memoirs and other historical data and turns it into a beautifully written narrative which even a novice student of the american civil war will enjoy. The book encompasses the entire gettysburg campaign and is a must read for anyone who wants more than a rudimentary history of the civil war.
"Excellent book"
very good description on the battle, from both human and military aspects
i have listen to it five or six years ago, and remember it as very interesting book, that i should listen to again, when i have deeper understanding of the civil war
"a couple of grating mispronunciations"
Great treatment of the battle with lots of detail, the book itself is fantastic. However, the narrator constantly mispronounces the last names of Harry Heth and Carl Shurz, (as "heth" and "shurz", rather than the correct "heath" and "shirts"). This doesn't detract from the work of the original author, but it is grating when heard over and over again...
I enjoyed the historical accuracy of the read.
I have listened to several other books read by Ed Sala and enjoy all of them. This one is good also.
See the actual events as they happened during the Gettysburg battle!
The only negative thing is that it is a little difficult at times to keep track of all the facts about North and South and all the names of the generals involved. It is a lot to keep track of mentally.
"1st Military Book"
I am not a military reader nor do I hope to be. Yet the intensive research and incredible presentation that is displayed in this book makes it well worth becoming a classroom text.
It's only lack is illustration.
"Exhaustive but..."
This book was good, had a lot of information, but the writer just didn't carry it off that well. Shelby Foote? Now that guy can weave a story. . This guy? Meh...
"For the expert not the novice"
Unless you have a really good understanding of the names of all the generals and who they represented it get kind of confusing. This was very interesting but definitely a civil war buff not a novice
"Complicated "
I love listening and reading about the heroes of our past but found this story somewhat tedious and hard to follow as an audio book. I think a book, such as this, should be left alone in print. A lot of research had to go into writing this book. I did enjoy most of it.

My critique:
Lin must perform in the face of this pressure. The media would love nothing more than to be provided with impetus to write about Lin struggles. He must take better care of the ball and reduce the turnovers.
Lin must also show more leadership ability if he's going to run the point effectively. Decision making, directing traffic, confidence, all come from keeping your head in the game and being aware. I see those lulls and that needs to be addressed. There's room for improvement.
Fields does not belong in an NBA starting lineup at the two. According to my rules; you can't start IF YOU CAN'T GUARD YOUR POSITION, and you definitely cannot play the "shooting guard" and cant shoot.
Walker's game is about as ugly as he is and inconsistent to boot. He at the least can play some defense, but seven games without Melo is taking its toll. Wins or not. By the way, those questioning Melo's injury must know that players DO NOT come back from injury the very day they feel better.
If Melo is playing Monday, that would mean he was probably fairly healed Saturday. To which he must have already practiced/tried it out, rested and seen how it (his injury) reacts. That's how it works. And groins can linger just like hamstrings. It takes time and 100% is better than risking further injury.
STAT has basic issues that I see:
1. Driving into traffic
2. Poor passing skills (turnovers)
3. Poor hands (if ball isn't put on him perfectly he struggles, turnovers)
4. Poor defensive skills (looking stiff)
5. Poor dribbling skills
6. Poor low post game
As a coach, I have to question why Amare hasn't learned a low post game. In a passing system, why he hasn't become a better passer; and why are his hands so poor? And in a decision orientated system, where ball movement is paramount, he must understand how to decide quicker and pass better.
Tyson the Mad Byson is our unquestioned leader. No issues with him- except to CONTINUE to get him involved early.

The performance is free and open to the public. The presentation will be an one-act performance by Texas Poet Laureate nominee Outspoken Bean. Converse is a rendering of performance poetry and audience dialogue interaction. The blunt nature of Bean's conversation is an honest balance to the insight and construction to his poems.
A graduate of Prairie View A&M University, Bean began performing spoken-word poetry in 2005. In 2006, Outspoken earned spots on San Antonio's and Houston's Poetry's Slam Team.

Stupid idea. Now players who did something bad can change their names and continue doing it and no one will know who they are.
Doing bad things is a viable option in a sandbox game. If an Outlaw wants to start over why not give him the option to take on a new identity? Besides, who would spend real money in order to do bad things under a new alias (that will be in a bad light again soon) in a videogame?

By Bob Huber
Then came the summer of 1943, and my friend Smooth Heine and I put together a genuine automobile on a budget of $3.67 — our life's savings. We named it Clarence.
It was also the summer of our discontent, because we'd just begun to feel the first evil pangs of testosterone. We became convinced that if we drove around town in a real live car, trailing white scarves and harmonizing the refrain from "Chattanooga Choo Choo," we could find girls eager to share tender kisses and other colorful pastimes.
So we shooed chickens and mice out of the carcass of a rusting Model T pickup truck on the Heine farm and scrubbed the motor, inside and out, with 20 Mule Team Borax. When we put everything back together and added oil, we had only a half dozen parts left over. We felt pretty good about that.
Then we installed seats made of wooden beer kegs from the local brewery and attached wheels off an ancient combine, circa 12th Century B.C. We were very upscale.
Next we inspected the brake bands, which were rusted through. We cleverly substituted spliced clothes hangers to pull blocks of wood against the wheels. We didn't spend much time on them, because if the brakes failed, we figured to drag our feet.
Gears remained an enigma, leaving only one solution — ignore them. We put Clarence permanently in first gear, which provided athletic cranking and jackrabbit starts, because we didn't know which foot peddle — it had three — was a clutch.
When we finally fired up Clarence for a test run around the Heine barn, smoke filled the cab like a boys' restroom, but we didn't mind. We knew gentle zephyrs whistling through holes in the canvas top would whisk away the fumes as well as any aromas left behind by former residents.
As we cruised around the Heine barnyard the Clarence occasionally broke wind, exploding in a teeth rattling KAH-BAM followed by a screeching PZZZZZT! When that happened, black goo belched out behind us, but we didn't care. It added appeal.
Finally our vehicle was ready for the nation's highways. It had the speed of a praying mantis and a gait of giraffe, but we painted it barn red anyway except for the fenders. We colored them a bilious green. To add a touch of elegance we mounted a rack of elk horns on the radiator.
It was then that I telephoned Patsy Pomeroy, the love of my life that summer, and she agreed to accompany us on Clarence's maiden voyage, but only if she could wear my white scarf. Still, taking Patsy along was worrisome — we feared she might possess a parochial view of modern transportation, probably inherited.
But her shortcoming disappeared when she saw Clarence. She stopped abruptly, and her mouth hung open — I think the elk horns did it. She was so overwhelmed, she could only mutter, "Ulp! Ulp!" — obviously stunned by Clarence's beauty.
So Smooth yanked the door open with a flourish — actually it came off in his hand — and I helped the zombied Patsy onto a beer keg and leaped in beside her. Smooth climbed into the truck bed.
As we started down the mountain I faced a stretch of the road called "Dead Man's Curve," but I wasn't worried. I applied the brakes, but Clarence responded by jumping out of gear. The twang, when our makeshift brake bands gave way, had startled him.
We skidded sideways around Dead Man's Curve, and Patsy covered her face and croaked, "Ulp! Ulp!" Smooth, clinging to the truck bed, cried, "Eeeaaugh! Eeeaaugh!"
Without going into lengthy narrative about our harrowing flight down the rest of the mountain and our pinball journey through town, we finally rolled to a stop on a steep hill, leaving behind an urban trail of goo, damaged lawns, and bilious green fenders.
That's when I seized the moment. Backing Clarence against a tree, I slipped an arm around Patsy's shoulder. Patsy had been sitting on her beer keg with her face covered, but when she felt my arm, her eyes popped open, and she shuddered.
Then with a determined "Ulp!" she flattened her ears and whapped me alongside the head. I reeled from this unique show of affection, but before I could respond fittingly, she kicked off the remaining door and stomped away, my white scarf flapping.
I still long for that memorable summer afternoon. That's why, when schools let out each year, you'll find me sitting on a beer keg in front of a roaring air conditioner, my white scarf flapping and a silly grin on my face.

April 5, 2011 —
Of the 20 citizens who spoke at the second public hearing on proposed amendments to the township's zoning ordinance affecting gas drilling, only two spoke in favor of the changes.
None of the representatives of the Northern Wayne Property Owners Alliance (NWPOA) who support the amendment spoke. Only a few even attended.
"They didn't have to attend because they wrote the amendment," someone yelled out at the meeting.
The amendment changes the ordinance on drilling from a special exception to a conditional use, which would remove the Zoning Hearing Board (ZHB) from any role in approving or denying drilling and gives the power of approval to the supervisors.
The new amendment would allow gas drilling in the rural residential district—covering over 90 percent of the township— and restrict it in the Delaware River district and the five smaller neighborhood development districts.
The amendment adds definitions concerning what constitutes a well pad and a gas well, and establishes setbacks of 100 feet from property lines and roads and the river district boundaries. Drilling a well in the river district would be forbidden but gas could be extracted from under the river district if it were from a well outside the district that could be reached by horizontal drilling.
One of the main objections to the proposed amendment that was repeated numerous times was that it would make the rural residential district an industrial district.
One of the speakers was Barbara Arrindell of Damascus Citizens for Sustainability (DCS) who said, "The current zoning does not allow unrestricted and wholesale industrialization of the township. The zoning changes that are being proposed will allow Damascus to become an industrialized area and will endanger water and air. We should keep the existing zoning and not change it. These changes will give the supervisors total discretion in allowing drilling at their will."
Arrindell and other speakers reminded citizens that all the current supervisors, the members of the planning commission and other township officials have signed leases. "They should not be allowed to judge something that will directly benefit them," one speaker said.
The current zoning would require that each proposed gas or oil well would have to come before the township ZHB for approval with local input including an advertised public hearing.
Back in August of 2010, zoning officer Ed Lagarenne issued a stop order to the drilling operation at the Woodland Management site on Route 371 because the company had not applied for a special exception permit demanded by the current zoning ordinance. The company ignored the order and took the township to federal court, stating that the state's oil and gas act supersedes township ordinances. The judge ruled that the township should sign a consent decree with the company to work out their differences.
That sparked the move to change the zoning law. "We're doing this so that we won't get challenged," said township attorney Jeffrey Treat. "I don't think we will be challenged by the company with this amendment."

Site Selection Process
The first step in selecting states was to identify which states have policies and programs that fall into the four major categories of state-level charter school facilities assistance. A matrix of the four types of charter school facilities assistance by state was created using data from LISC's 2007 Charter School Facility Finance Landscape study and an online database of state policy related to charter school facilities finance developed by the Education Commission of the States in partnership with the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools.
This initial list included approximately 95 policies and programs that fall into the four categories, which are in place in 37 different states and Washington, D.C. This matrix summarizing state policies across the four categories was shared with the advisory group on Feb. 5, 2008, at the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Innovation and Improvement, to solicit further recommendations.
The research team asked advisors to consider and discuss components of exemplary state policy and practice within each of the conceptual framework's four types of assistance. Across these categories, advisors provided guidance on what constitutes evidence of such policy and practice and how states that are most effectively implementing policies intended to help charters meet their facilities needs could be identified. Based on this discussion, the research team summarized the advisory group's recommended guidelines for selecting exemplary forms of statelevel charter facilities assistance (see below).
Based on the recommendations from the advisory group, the initial list of 37 states was narrowed to ten states known or thought to potentially have exemplary policy or practice in at least one of the four categories. The group recommended that three of the states known to have the most exemplary and exhaustive charter school facilities assistance policies be selected for the study, and suggested an additional seven states as candidates for further screening through interviews. One state was dropped when the screening interviews revealed that the strategies of interest had not yet been implemented to the degree advisors had thought.

A new study estimates changes Republican lawmakers made to Gov. Scott Walker's executive budget will result in a half-billion dollar deficit going into the next two-year spending plan.
The Wisconsin State Journal reported a nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau's analysis of the 2013-2015 budget the Legislature's finance committee last week would leave the state with a $505 million shortfall in the 2015-2017 biennium.
The committee nearly doubled a Walker income tax cut, increased public school aid and transportation spending, added spending on school vouchers and created a private school tuition tax deduction.
The fiscal bureau's report also says property taxes on an average $154,800 home would increase $58 over the next two years compared with $19 in Walker's original budget.

Applying to Graduate/Professional School General Information
Graduate school provides an opportunity to specialize in an academic discipline that you enjoy and most likely excel in. It also provides education needed for many professions. It is important to give careful consideration to your career aspirations and motivation for advanced study prior to beginning the application process. Regardless of your goals, the following resources will be helpful to you as you navigate the graduate/professional school process:
- The Fleishman Career Center's Applying to Graduate School Quick Reference Guide addresses many questions you may have about advanced study, from application timelines and processes, evaluating programs, financing your studies, and testing.
- The Writing a Personal Statement Quick Reference Guide provides a framework for beginning your application essay. Binghamton's Writing Center also provides support for students looking for feedback and assistance in writing their essays.
- Students planning on applying to Law School should consult with the Pre-Law Advisor prior to beginning the process.
- Students interested in medical programs need to consult the Pre-Health Advisor.
- The application process can get expensive! Through a generous gift from the May Company, parent company of Lord & Taylor, current matriculated Binghamton students can apply for a short-term loan. The Career Advancement Program (CAP) is a revolving loan fund to which students may apply for funds to support career advancement expenses, such as those associated with applying to graduate school.
- Letters of recommendation are an important part of the application process. The Fleishman Career Center recommends utilizing Interfolio to eliminate the burden of asking individuals to prepare multiple letters of recommendation, while preserving the confidential nature of these letters.
- Each fall, the Fleishman Career Center sponsors a Graduate School Fair and collaborates with Pre-Law Advising to host Law Day. These fairs offer an opportunity to learn about program requirements and to speak individually with representatives from multiple schools.

Murder charge dismissed against Vt. grandmotherAugust 18,2013State dismisses
murder charge
HYDE PARK A Vermont judge has dismissed a murder charge against a Morrisville grandmother found mentally incompetent to stand trial on charges of giving a fatal drug overdose to her infant grandson.
The judge has ruled that Pamela Raymond, 56, does not need to be hospitalized and can be treated in the community.
Raymond, a former nurse, pleaded innocent to second-degree murder in the 2010 death of her 3-month-old grandson. Prosecutors say the child was given a lethal dose of an antidepressant to keep him quiet so he would not bother Raymonds husband in September 2010.
Deputy States Attorney Christopher Moll said the state may file the charge again if it deems Raymond competent to stand trial.MORE IN This Just InMANAMA, Bahrain Drawing the U.S. Full StoryDANVILLE Police said a Concord man was jailed for violating an abuse prevention order.

Marcia K. ClarkJanuary 23,2013
Marcia K. Clark
Marcia K. Clark
PEMBROKE, Mass. Marcia Kathryn Clark, 66, of Pembroke, formerly of Barre, Vt., died peacefully on Jan. 19, 2013, in Kingston, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Born in Barre, Vt., on Oct. 20, 1946, she was the daughter of the late Lynn Fraser and Kathryn (Hill) Clark. She graduated from Spaulding High School in June of 1965. She later moved to California where she met her former husband, Gerard Mahoney, and they moved to Massachusetts where both their children were born. Marcia graduated from the Katherine Gibbs School with a major in business in 1985 ranking near the top of her class. She worked at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary as management head of information services. Following her graduation from Katherine Gibbs, she went to work at Fairfield and Ellis in Boston and the World Trade Center. Her favorite quotation should serve as a beacon for all of us to follow, Live every day to the fullest and always look on the bright side of life.
After her diagnosis of cancer, she became the centerpiece of much quality family time. Marcia developed her bucket list and she and her family carried out most of her wishes. She loved and adored each and every member of her precious family and focused constantly on her two children, six grandchildren and her brother and sister and their families.
Marcia is survived by her two children, Brian Mahoney and his wife, Cheryl, and their three children, Brian Jr., Emily and Grace, of Danvers; and her daughter, Lynne Gedutis, and her husband, Adam, and their three children, Caroline, Jessica and Adam Jr., of Pembroke. She also leaves her brother, Stephen Clark, and his wife, Lola, and their three children, Kevin, Kristopher and his wife, Emily, and Korey, of East Montpelier, Vt.; and her sister, Barbie Smith, and her husband, Frank, and their children, Zachary and his wife, Meghan, and Libby Smith, of Essex Junction, Vt.; as well as her Aunt Lorraine and many cousins.
A memorial funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, Jan. 26, at 1 p.m. in St. Theclas Church, 145 Washington St., Route 53 in North Pembroke. In lieu of flowers, the family requests voluntary contributions in Marcias memory to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, 450 Brookline Ave., Boston, MA 02215.

August 28, 2013 —
A spectacular specimen of Phaeolus schweinitzii has grown at the base of a dying hemlock tree in my yard over the past month. Commonly known as dyer's polypore or velvet-top fungus, this attractive mushroom is a pathogen of conifers that causes the roots and base of the tree to rot. While it is not edible, it can be used for making dyes of green, yellow, brown and gold. The fungus is named after Lewis David de Schweinitz, an important early American mycologist born in Bethlehem, PA.
Many forms of fungi are abundant throughout the Upper Delaware region right now. Take a walk and enjoy the highly varied specimens you will see.

Tastiest Store-Bought Snacks
Between meals, most kids get hungry as wolves, and snacking is an important energy bridge. Snacking ought to be healthy, but it still needs to have the crunch, chew, and bright flavors of a real treat. Homeade snacks are great. But sometimes packaged snacks trump everything. We limited our selections to cheese crackers made with whole grains and containing 150 calories and 250mg sodium or less; string cheeses with 200mg sodium and 3g sat fat or less; and fruit purees with less than 15g sugar and no added fruit juice concentrate or other sweeteners.
How we tested: We sampled 12 cheese crackers, 14 fruit purees, and six string cheeses in blind tastings. We took the top three contenders from each category to an elementary school, where they were tested by kindergarten, second, and third grade classes.
