Facing long-term disasterJune 28,2013
Facing long-term disaster
The stories coming out of our short-term disasters such as the Oklahoma tornadoes remind us of our humanity and capabilities. We face a long-term disaster. The Dalai Lama teaches that humanity will need to grow its capacities for compassionate altruism to deal with it.
I am not talking about the challenges of Medicare, Social Security and similar issues. They are relatively easy to solve. I am talking about the self-evident truth (although many if not most of us fail to recognize it) that humanity can not continue the pattern of the last 200 years of our Industrial Revolution for the next 200 years in terms of growth of population, depletion of the worlds resources, and the production of illth, the opposite of wealth. I have read too many articles that say economic growth is a major solution for our current problems rather than their cause.
Fortunately there are a few, especially in Vermont, who address our long term disaster. The Montpelier Bridges special section Building a New Vermont Economy often referred togrowth as a faulty solution. John Snells and Stanley McCrystals opinion pieces in recent Times Argus editions advocate for increased community service in our society and imply a re-balancing of the freedom and community paradigm toward community. Unfortunately, the Tea Partys stress on re-balancing that paradigm toward freedom gets more coverage.
I first heard about re-instituting the model of the commons to provide a sustainable way to use our physical and cultural resources at lecture at the Kellogg-Hubbard Library by a UVM professor a promising approach and one that needs more letters and study.
As a believer in evolution, I ardently hope that we humans evolve to be more compassionate and more capable of both envisioning our long term challenges and resolving them. Harris Webster

Everyone who has signed up to play in this year's fantasy baseball league has been sent an invite. Please check your inbox and register your team as soon as possible so we can finalize the divisions (which are named after Philly neighborhoods). If you haven't received your invite or would still like to sign up, send us an email and we'll sort you out. Drafts are scheduled for Monday at 7:30pm.
Here are the divisions (the links only work if you have been invited to that division):
Olney, Germantown, Nicetown, Port Richmond, Grays Ferry, Brewerytown, Bustleton, Center City, Roxborough, Chalfont, Fairmount, Mayfair, Fishtown, Manayunk, Kensington
34 Comments
you have completley disregarded west philly!
Is there an overall winner? I know that there will be winners in each division, but anymore than that?
south philly and west philly are lacking reps. i cant draft monday at 730. i can around 815…
everyone in kensington: get ready to battle for 2nd place. UncleCholly is gonna dominate this.
Chalfont isn't even in Philly.
This should be splendid. Two Burrels One Cup baby!
haha yes! Someone's name in my league is Daulton's spaceship!!!!! Genius. Once again, if you are in the Olney league can we draft at 8:15? I have class till 7:20 and won't get home till 8:15.
I had an invite but cant draft that night. Can my team automatically draft?
yeah, just rank your players before the draft and it will autodraft them for you if you're not able to.
Is anyone in Brewerytown able to draft around 9-930 on Monday? If not I'll set up auto draft, but if youz could delay a little it would be appreciated. I have a Mid term for class, otherwise I would totally blow off class.
I'm Dim the Lights Durbin in the Germantown league. Anyone else in there?
Dim the lights Durbin is an awesome name…. but no, I'm in Brewery town. By the way, what happens if not enough people join the individual divisions? Will we be nvited to ther leagues to fill up the leagues? just asking.
All the leagues will have at least 8 teams and it is unlikely we'll change any draft times unless a majority of people in the division want it changed. We can't just change it for 1 or 2 people because then it will become a conflict for someone else. Sorry you'll just need to rock the autodraft.
I am in the Mayfair division…And yes Chalfont is in Northeast Philly..I'm a Parkwood NE Philly Native that currently lives in a dorm at La Salle University(Olney) haha…Anyone else here in my division?
This is an absolute travesty Tim, how can all of our sports teams reside in South Philly, and myself of course and we do not get a division name??? What is going on dude?? I demand a redo!!
I'm in the Nicetown league… my team is Utley's Puppy Mill 😀
I'm We Are Not Werthy in the Germantown League.
I'm in mayfair. Its destiny this year for the Camden Piels.
Kensington League!
maybe my name should be Missing Teeth!!!
i think im going to bring my laptop to school and sit in the study area to do the draft! lol
I still have never done fantasy baseball since I depend on my looks to get me through life.
btw..I'm from Juniata Park (Feltonville) originally before the neighborhood became Dominican etc
Sorry about South Philly. If you want to see more neighborhoods represented, get more people to sign up.
I'm playing in Chalfont. Fear my team, Pat the Glove.
Brian… I understand.. The autodraft will be rocked!
Where's the main line shout out? come on.
It's cool Bri, it's cool.
Fitting that I used to go to LaSalle and got put into the Olney league. I've since transferred out to Montana State to finish up school so that's gonna make it tough for me to draft live. How did you guys say you could auto draft a team again? Thanks in advance gang…
Oh yea…. Let's Go Bowa Constrictors!!!!!!
Chalfont is a playground. Its called east torresdale
Out of curiosity, are you all going to skip on Mets players because they play for the Mets? I'll gladly snag up David Wright, Jose Reyes, Johann Santana, and Carlos Beltran in rounds 1-4.
Also, the thing that annoys me is that North East and Manayunk are like the suburbs. Why are they so greatly represented?
Just go to Draft Central and click on Edit Prerankings or whatever. Then, just drag and drop the players in whatever order you want. Make sure to click "save" when you're done or you lose them. If you're not in the live draft, it'll automatically autodraft for you based on your rankings.
Thanks Matt

No need for presents (or shoveling the sidewalk), this celebration is purely for fun. Break out the decorations and twinkle lights, keep cool with a mug of frozen eggnog and play some reindeer games. Santa hat optional.
Put on a fit and flare dress in Santa's favorite color and get ready to get noticed. A studded shoulder bag and strappy sandals will add a little edge (and a lot of style).
2 quart premade eggnog
½ cup rum
½ cup amaretto liqueur
Whipped cream
Cinnamon mixed with sugar
Pour eggnog into a bowl and place in freezer until frozen. Scoop half of the frozen eggnog and put into a blender pitcher. Add liquors and blend. Top with whipped cream and cinnamon mixture.
The holidays are usually spent playing games, and this party is no different. Guess the word on your card with clues from your friends before the timer runs out. You can even take videos of the hilarious guessing game in action.
A little bit dressed up, a little bit casual, this look is great for a party – no matter the month. A chambray button-up paired with cobalt blue shorts and flip-flops is simple and totally on-trend.

February 6, 2013 —
The weight limit for the bridge that spans the Upper Delaware River at Narrowsburg has been lowered in the wake of an inspection that was carried out in November 2012.
The limit for a single vehicle is now 15 tons, and the limit for a combination vehicle such as a tractor trailer is now 27 tons.
Emergency repairs are scheduled to begin in mid-March. From mid-March until the end of May, the bridge will be open to a single lane of traffic during the day, controlled by flaggers. At the end of each day, the bridge will be opened to two lanes of traffic, but the weight restriction will remain in place.
After these repairs are complete on one side of the bridge (approximately mid-May), traffic will be moved to the repaired side of the bridge and the weight restriction will be lifted. However, the bridge will remain a single-lane crossing, controlled by traffic signals, until at least 2015, when permanent repairs are scheduled to begin on the bridge.
According to Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) spokesperson James May, officials don't want to put a lot of money into temporary repairs when the permanent repairs will begin in just a couple of years. Maintaining a single lane will allow the bridge to be used safely until then.
Two years ago, PennDOT announced that preliminary engineering was planned for a 2014 replacement of the decks and sidewalks and painting of the Narrowsburg, NY to Darbytown, PA Bridge at a cost of just under $4 million.
Because of the new weight limit, the Narrowsburg Fire Department applied for a weight limit exemption for when it takes trucks over the bridge to aid firefighting efforts in Pennsylvania. Fire captain Arthur Hawker said that the fire company crosses the bridge perhaps 10 times in a year, and five of those times involve the use of the rescue truck which is less than 15 tons. He said the restrictions on the bridge "are not going to be a big deal."

Streak! That's right – streak! In the world of running, "streaking" is more of a standard "norm" than what we all are used to thinking. "The official definition of a running streak, as adopted by the Streak Runners International, Inc., and United States Running Streak Association, Inc., and United States Running Streak Association, Inc., is to run at least one continuous mile (1.61 kilometers) within each calendar day under one's own body power (without the utilization of any type of health or mechanical aid other than prosthetic devices)." http://www.runeveryday.com/.
There is a whole movement of folk who take this challenge on regularly – self termed, "streakers". It's part of who they are…and if you do a little reading, usually continue to be streakers for life! The rates of injury are actually quite low and people tend to "not want to break the momentum" and become die-hard about never missing a day. It becomes a lifestyle.
A few months ago I read about "streakers" and admittedly was intrigued just so I could be part of this fabulously named group. After thinking about it, I became more interested in the thought of making running a staple in my day. Yes, running is a staple in my life…but I do miss it on my 2 rest days every week. Would it really be so hard to get out there and put at least a mile in on the road every day?! Needless to say, I did my research and more reading on the topic but never made it a part of my training routine.
This past month, "RunnersWorld" published an article on doing a "Holiday Streak". The truth is that between Thanksgiving and New Years there are tons of gatherings, parties and vacations that can derail a runner from their usual training regime. Tack on the copious amounts of indulgent food and the result could end up as few pudge pounds you didn't ask for in your stocking. The idea of the "Holiday Streak" is to run at least a mile everyday from Thanksgiving (or start now!) until New Years.
So who's with me?! I'm going for the gold here and am going to embrace this short term challenge. I know that if I get suited up and get out on the road, I likely won't stop at just one mile. Sometimes getting out there is my biggest challenge! I think even I can be persuaded to go out into 25 degree weather at 5am on my REST day if I tell myself it's ONLY FOR ONE MILE!
So keep the Holiday's under your belt and not sneaking out! Enjoy the spirit of love and joy that radiates this time of year and feel good about the fact that you are still on track with your health.
Just think – if you do this challenge your New Years resolution won't have to be "get back to running again"…it might be "STREAK FOR A WHOLE YEAR"!

This past Wednesday, May 2, University of Minnesota President Eric W. Kaler hosted Chancellor Nancy Cantor in a special discussion of the role of the 21st-century university in meeting urban challenges at a Great Conversations presidential forum on the Twin Cities campus.
"Public Mission, Urban Challenges: The 21st-Century University" is part of UMN Land Grant 150, a yearlong celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Morrill Act of 1862 legislation that laid the groundwork for the land-grant research university's ongoing mission of learning, discovery and engagement for the common good.
Cantor and Kaler discussed the role of universities as anchor institutions in their communities, and how universities can step up to the challenges of a markedly more urban, global and interdisciplinary age.

The college is proud to announce the appointment of Martin B. Steed, D.D.S., as chairman of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and associate dean for Hospital Affairs (within the James B. Edwards College of Dental Medicine).
He joined our faculty on December 9, 2013.
"I have been impressed at every level with the quality of the students, residents, faculty, and staff whom I've gotten a chance to meet within the James B. Edwards College of Dental Medicine. This has made me beyond excited to play a significant part in advancing the goals of our Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department to be a regional and national center of excellence in teaching, research, and patient care," said Dr. Steed.
Dr. Steed graduated from the University of Buffalo School of Dental Medicine in 1997 and then completed an oral medicine residency at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 1997 to 1999. He completed his training in oral and maxillofacial surgery at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia in 2004 and was appointed to the full-time faculty at Emory as an asssistant professor that same year.
Steed was previously associate professor and the residency program director within the Department of Surgery at Emory University School of Medicine as well as chief of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service at Emory Midtown Hospital. His clinical and research interests include microsurgical repair of peripheral trigeminal nerve injuries, virtual surgical planning/ simulation, orthognathic and maxillofacial trauma surgery outcome measurements, and surgical curriculum development and assessment.
When not at the dental school or hospital, Dr. Steed enjoys golfing, fishing, playing ice hockey, and spending time with his wife Michelle and their two rescue puppies.

I'm a fairly limited php user, so accept that I'm trying to hack through something that could be done more elegantly.
I've generated a list of rows thus:
Code: Select all
$sql="select * from orders.ORDER where status = 'P'";
$result=mysql_query($sql) or die( "A MySQL error has occurred.
Your Query: " . $sql . "
 Error: (" . mysql_errno() . ") " . mysql_error());
echo "number_of rows $num";
echo "

Order ID	Shelfmark	Page Number
";
while ($i < $num)
$order_id= mysql_result($result, $i, "id");
$shelfmark = mysql_result($result, $i, "shelfmark");
$page_no = mysql_result($result, $i, "pageno");
echo "<form method ='post' action = 'updateOrder.php'>
<input type = text name = order_id size = 10 value= $order_id>	$shelfmark	$page_no	<input type = 'submit' value = 'update this order' name = 'button$i'>
";
I thought if I made each row a form, with a button, I could pass the order id through to another page, where the order could be updated. It won't do that, as each button takes the value of order_id as it is (ie the last number)- I haven't attempted to do it using an array, as I assume I will hit the same problem with the counter value. Just wondering if anyone knows a (better) way to do this- I don't really want to use a dropdown for this.

By Liliana Castillo: Freedom New Mexico
Three women in Clovis have donned variations of Santa hats early Black Friday for their traditional day of shopping for the past 10 years.
Jennifer McKinney, her sister Carri Valverde and her mother Linda Jacquez wear the hats to take some stress out of the chaos on the first shopping day of the Christmas season.
"Everybody gets so stressed and crazy on this Black Friday," McKinney said. "We started with Santa hats and it made people smile. Then we started finding crazy hats and made it even better."
The three women started their day at Wal-Mart at 4:30 a.m. They hit the mall, Hastings, Hobby Lobby, Walgreens, The Master's Center, Big Lots and made their way back to Wal-Mart before calling it a day.
"We didn't have anything specific we were looking for. We just go out to make everybody else smile," McKinney said. "We got a lot of attention this year. Not all of it was good — someone called us crazy — but for the most part it made people smile."
McKinney said the three try to remind people of what Christmas is about.
"Christmas is suppose to be a fun time and a time for family. Sometimes people get too caught up in the hustle and bustle and take the joy out of it," McKinney said. "We can let them stop doing that even if it's for just a minute or so."
Major retailers in Clovis and Portales saw the bulk of the crowds, according to retail business owners in both cities.
Cindy Bannister, manager of North Plains Mall, said crowds were bigger this year than last year's first Christmas shopping day after Thanksgiving.
"More than 200 cars were in the parking lot at 4 a.m. waiting for JC Penney to open," Bannister said.
At 1 p.m., Bannister said the crowds were still going strong at the mall.
"I'm sure here in a couple of hours, they'll all be home taking naps," she said.
Bannister said managers from some of the 39 stores in the mall were pleased with the amount of sales and traffic they saw on Black Friday. Bannister said many of the customers came out early for big doorbuster items.
Leslie Creighton, owner of Creighton's Town and Country in Portales, said her Friday was the same as any typical Friday.
"Today was nothing out of the ordinary," she said. "People use this day to hit the major chain stores that offer the $5 toaster. I think that's what people are looking for today."
Gebo's Store Manager Sheri Garrison said the Clovis store had a steady crowd through out the day. Garrison said this years crowds were about the same as last years.
"Our parking lot has been really full," she said.
Garrison said the store had sales on jeans, outerwear, boots and toys.
"People know when we have our toys on sale. They come in for our toys and jeans," Garrison said.

Rolling Stones launch tour with energetic setBy SANDY COHEN
The Associated Press | May 05,2013AP Photo
Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones perform Friday night in Los Angeles.LOS ANGELES The Rolling Stones must have passed through a time machine before taking the Staples Center stage to kick off their 50 and Counting anniversary tour.
Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts delivered a rousing set Friday night with the kind of youthful energy and musical verve they displayed decades ago. Their faces showed their age, but their performance did not, with a nonstop, two-hour-plus set packed with well-worn hits.
Jagger and Richards are each 69 years old, and Watts is 71, but they transformed into their younger selves for the night. (Wood is the baby of the band at 65.)
Jagger might not hit all the notes he once did, but he still busted out his almost spastic, serpentine dance moves on song after song. Hes impossibly thin, and his spine showed through the light shirt he wore.
Staples Center was packed to capacity for the concert, the first of 17 dates the Stones will play throughout the United States.
The stage was modeled after the bands iconic logo, with lips and teeth above the stage and a tongue-shaped platform that extended into the crowd.
A video of famous folks sharing their favorite Rolling Stones memories played before the band took the stage, with Johnny Depp, Martin Scorsese, Perry Farrell and others reminiscing about their favorite tunes.
Actress Cate Blanchett recalled just how skinny they were.
It really, really pisses me off, she said.
(Honestly, the Stones could produce a best-selling diet book the members are as slim as they were as aspiring rockers in the 1960s.)
Other videos showed the aging rockers as young men.
Jack Nicholson was among the stars in the audience, and fans welcomed him with a round of applause as he took his seat.
It was either us or the Lakers, so now you got us, Jagger said early in the show, referring to the basketball playoffs that forced the band to postpone its opening concert from Thursday to Friday.
It doesnt matter to Jack Nicholson, Jagger continued, because he was coming to both of them.
Nicholson wasnt the only star in the house. Gwen Stefani, wearing long blond hair and a bedazzled Rolling Stones tank top, joined the group onstage to sing Wild Horses.
Ive got to get one of these T-shirts, Jagger said.
Keith Urban played guitar and sang backup on Respectable. Former Stones member Mick Taylor added guitar to Midnight Rambler.
We first played in LA in 1965, Jagger said. Thank you for keeping on coming to see us.

The time to act is nowMarch 20,2014
In the weeks leading up to town meeting it became clear that Vermonts Legislature had no intention of making bold changes to the current school funding system. More than a year ago, elected officials knew that this years property tax rates were going to be onerously high. We knew we were facing a convergence of conditions that created this tax rate tsunami, yet we did nothing.
At that time, in an attempt to address continued concerns from our constituents, Rep. Heidi Scheuermann and I tried to get an amendment passed to repeal Act 60/68 in two years. Our proposal was responsible and would have given lawmakers two years to come up with a better system one that is easier to understand, reconnects voters to their budgets and resulting property tax rates, and at the same time improves educational outcomes, while adhering to the requirements of the Brigham decision. We had some serious alternatives to offer up to begin the work necessary to make these improvements.
Our effort failed and in political maneuverings was replaced by a watered-down requirement for the House Committee on Ways and Means to address concerns regarding education property taxes, including the financing, oversight, and educational outcomes of our current system, and shall report its findings to the General Assembly by March 15, 2014. We were extremely disappointed, but even more so when we saw that this deadline was approaching and it was clear there is no concerted effort to overhaul the system.
The week before Town Meeting Day, Vermonters from all across the state were more frustrated than ever with the complexity of Act 60/68 and our ever-increasing taxes. I decided it was time for a new repeal effort. I hoped that by giving voters a voice in our effort we might, this year, succeed in taking the steps necessary to begin to replace our current complicated, ailing system.
Rep. Scheuermann and I began an online petition to repeal and replace Act 60/68 by 2016. Within 24 hours we had over 100 supporters. Now, two weeks later, we have more than 700 Vermonters signed on, and support continues to grow.
But we need your help to make it happen. Rep. Scheuermann will introduce the repeal and replace amendment when the new property tax bill is brought up for action in the Vermont House of Representatives. This is our chance, as Vermonters, to show that we want action.
Unless the Legislature has its feet held to the fire nothing substantial will get done. The amendment gives those in control the time needed to come up with a new system.
Thirty-five school budgets were voted down with an additional 20 to be voted on at a later date. One only needs to look at what happened in Underhill to know we need to do better. Its proposed school budget decreased spending, per-pupil spending decreased, and yet property taxes are set to increase by 14 percent. A week after that budget was voted down, no one in Montpelier has any explanation of how to account for this. We need a better way.
Please go to change.org and sign on to our repeal and replace petition at: https://www.change.org/petitions/vermont-state-legislators-support-the-amendment-to-repeal-and-replace-act-60-68.
Also, please contact your state representatives to let them know you want them to vote for this amendment. We cant do it without you.

Ran the gauntlet...
Decided to hit Abrams today, knowing that traffic would be a tough go...even though I managed to get there before they opened to car travel, it took me an hour to get to the trail head. Fishing was decent though not as "on fire" as last report. There were plenty of 6-8" bows with a few horny heads mixed in. The water was looowww and you could see the larger fish holding in the "deeper" pools that were slow and gin clear - they spooked too easy like in the spring section. The green weenie with a SMBBSH dropper picked up fish in the riffles. Water temps were around 66/67 and felt great wet wading...
May you find a rise in every puddle... - WATERBORN
Re: Ran the gauntlet...
Good report Jeremy, I've been wondering how the water temps were doing on Abrams Creek because I haven't fished it in a few weeks. It sounds a little better than I thought it might be. Thanks for sharing the trip with us. I don't mean to try to steal your thread, but just rather add a little to it about the water in the Park right now. I had to run over to LROs on Friday and I decided to fish for a little while in the East Prong of Little River. I have been wondering how the water temp was affecting the fish in the area between Elkmont and Metcalf Bottoms. In the area that I fished, it felt to the hand, like it was about 64-65 degrees. I also fished with a nymph and a SMBBSH. I only fished a stretch about 200yards long and I managed to catch about a dozen fish even in the middle of the day. Like you mentioned in your thread, most were caught in riffle water, right where you would expect them to be at this time of the year. Quick fast releases were the order of the day. The area seemed to have gotten some good rain yesterday evening. Let's hope we get some more throughout the Valley real soon.

Re: Ran the gauntlet...
I was wondering the same thing, I was fishing yesterday on West Prong Little P and we hit water from 63 to 66 degrees. That is about 2 to 3 degrees more than it usually is at the spots I fished. I guess this low water and heat wave is taking it's toll. BTW, I'm glad to see you showing up on this board again. I was wondering where you are nowadays. I always value your insight and I still hope to run in to you on one of these creeks. I guess it won't be likely since you seem to fish different locales than I.
Re: Ran the gauntlet...
Good evening Hans, good to hear about your trips also. Since we're all adding a little to Waterborn's trip and about conditions around and about in the Smokies, I'll just add what I saw on the way home since it may be of interest to someone wanting to fish this area. I drove thru the Cosby area as I went home that day and to my surprise, Cosby Creek was running kind of full and slightly dingy. That section should be fishing better since they seemed to have had rain recently. Good luck guys!

Re: Ran the gauntlet...
No worries Hugh - always great to have everyones input about the conditions in the Park - after all sharing info there is what this board is all about...good to see that there are some people hitting the water despite the heat, fish have to eat regardless, but the greatest point made is the quick release...
May you find a rise in every puddle... - WATERBORN

Solar facility proposed near airport
BERLIN The local development company behind plans to construct a major convenience store and state-sanctioned welcome center on Paine Turnpike North is now seeking state approval for a 500-kilowatt solar facility on Airport Road.
The two projects might be miles apart, but they arent completely unrelated. Documents that Superior Development LLC recently filed with the state Public Service Board suggest the company plans to use credit for power generated by the proposed solar farm to offset electrical costs on a campus where it hopes to build an expanded version of Maplewood Convenience Store.
Located just off Interstate 89 at Exit 7, the campus is already home to a much smaller convenience store, a Comfort Inn and an Applebees restaurant. Through the states net metering program, Superior Development has proposed applying credit for all of the power from the proposed solar facility toward the electric bills for those and other local businesses it owns.
According to an overview of the project, the solar farm would generate roughly 800 megawatts of electricity a year, which amounts to about 80 percent of the electric load for the Comfort Inn and its associated facilities.
The solar facility, which would include more than 2,200 solar panels on 62 arrays, would be just up and across the road from E.F. Knapp State Airport. Though visible from the sky, the dark blue glass panels would be treated with an anti-reflective coating, significantly reducing their reflectivity in an area frequented by aircraft, according to the proposal.
Plans call for construction of the solar farm on 3 acres of a 17-acre parcel Superior Development owns on Airport Road just beyond Scott Hill Road.
Formerly farmland, the property is still mowed for hay and is across Airport Road from a working farm.
Superior Development owns the parcel to the west of the project location, and one of the companys principals, Wayne Lamberton, would be its nearest neighbor.
The project was designed to avoid a wetland on the property, which has been identified as a potential habitat for the upland sandpiper a Vermont endangered bird species that has been documented in the area. Though none of the birds was spotted during field surveys, Superior Development has indicated it would seasonally limit mowing in order to avoid any potential impacts during the nesting season.
The pre-application materials that were filed with the Public Service Board last week are part of Superior Developments attempt to obtain a certificate of public good.

Antoni should have put Amare back in. The team clearly needed points but he always sticks to his minutes distribution per game rather than what's needed. SMH
Real Talk
The guys are lost without Balkman on the bench....
This just shows why you can't take any team lightly.
Come on guys, wake TFU...keep it closer...this team wins 2 games and then loses 10 straight, and they are abusing us
Stat had a rare smart move there but he still couldnt finish the hook a few short feet away from the hoop
Lin and Amare need to get some chemistry going on.
For an old and washed up shooting guard, Amare is off to a decent start with 8 points and 1 rebound. He's also only been blocked once so far...
btw that was a nice pullup j by STAT.
I heard Stephen A today and he think something is wrong with STAT. Can he be injured and quiet about it? clearly something is bothering him..
trade lin to Lakers.
Stretch 4 to the rescue! When Melo gets back he's gonna have to keep it a little closer to the basket. That's Melo's space and JR when he plays. Having your PF SF snd SG out on the perimeter causes spacing issues.

Damn, I'm not too sure about Lin

The corner of Jefferson Avenue and Ellsworth Street was transformed this fall by the swank renovation of the former art building into a free-standing campus bookstore.
North Central College teamed up with Follett Corporation to relocate the store from the basement of the Harold and Eva White Activities Center to 100 E. Jefferson Ave., a one-block walk from downtown Naperville. The bookstore function had been housed in the former Cardinal Den since 1997, when it was moved from the basement of Old Main during the renovation. Thanks to the new location, the square footage of the new store increased from about 2,626 square feet to 4,576 square feet.
The new light-filled store and merchandise displays were ready for Homecoming Weekend and a large crowd gathered for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony on October 22. "This bookstore is among the absolute best of the 900 we operate," said Robert Scholl, vice president and director of Follett, in a speech to the crowd.
In his remarks, President Harold Wilde shared that the new bookstore realized another of his long-standing goals. "Whenever I visit another college, the bookstore is one of the first places I go," he said. "I use it as a way to understand the character of the institution—how they see themselves."
North Central's new bookstore prominently features faculty-authored books at the entryway along with a second, larger display that includes alumni authors. Shoppers will find a wider selection of Cardinal apparel and gifts along with an easily accessible section of textbooks.
Sales figures for apparel and gifts went through the roof during the first two weeks of operation, according to Lilian Knight, bookstore manager. "Our first week, sales were up 230 percent over the same week last year and up more than 100 percent the second week," she says. "And we're selling items like afghans and coffee mugs that were slow to sell in the other location."
Hours for the new bookstore are Mondays-Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Fridays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

[Editor's note: This "My View," which has been shortened from its original, is reprinted with permission from Lisa DeNardo's blog, "Hullabaloo Homestead." She posted it on December 4. Sadly, far too many people in the Upper Delaware Valley also find themselves facing this kind of financial hardship. You can read the entire blog posting at our link: http://rvrptr.ws/TZHPVF]
I have tried my darnedest to remain focused on all of the little things I have to be grateful for. Because no matter how bad things might seem, there is always something to be grateful for. Deep down I know that. And that is the one thing carrying me through right now—my ability to be grateful.
The biggest issue right now, is that we have to move… as in move now, in the next couple of weeks. Where are we going? I don't exactly know. Somewhere. We have an idea, but dates may or may not coincide. Either way, Christmas is going to be a tumble-by… meaning, as I see people decorating and celebrating, I am packing my family's life back up into boxes… again… for the second time this year. Not knowing where we will even be.
Life happens. The people who own the house we have been living in want to sell it. They were kind enough to offer us first dibs on the property—this little homestead we have been working so hard on creating over the past eight months. But after crunching numbers, it became very clear that if we did, we would be way back at square one. Upside down. At a place and a mentality that we swore off when we chose to walk away from our foreclosed home this past spring.
Apparently, and rightfully so, no one should EVER pay a rent or mortgage that exceeds 28% of their monthly income. If you do, the result will be life in a financially cramped place. Many people offer themselves a cushion of credit cards, home equity loans, lines of credit, etc. Four years ago, we gave them up, too. We never use credit. Never. As painful as it is to do without, I would much rather be able to have only what we can afford and to limit ourselves to live only within our financial means.
Jason is currently working construction again. Whether here or there, now or then, he makes a maximum of $2,400 a month [when he's able to find work]. If we apply the 28% rule, that means we can only afford a monthly housing payment of roughly $650 a month!
All I want is to make sure my family has a roof over our heads and food in our bellies. Are those two things honestly becoming that hard to come by?! Have you ever tried to feed a family of seven on $80 a week?! I have [during times when Jason can't find work]. It sucks. Telling my kids they can't have an apple because we have to save them to share over a whole week... Telling them they've got to go to bed hungry! We CANNOT cut food out of our budget! Even if it's the last and only thing in our budget.
For a long time, I have been lashing out at myself: "What is wrong with me?" "Why can't I figure this out?" "Isn't there some magic formula to help me figure out how to be able to afford to live?" "Why do my kids need to struggle like this?" Then, during one of my middle-of-the-night anxiety attacks, I had a huge realization. This is not my problem [alone]. THIS IS A HUGE EPIDEMIC! There are other people and families with kids out there just like us, some much worse off even. Without homes. Without food. Without jobs. Struggling… Trying to Make. Ends. Meet.
Oddly, this made me feel a lot better. Sadly, it made me pretty darn depressed. Where do we go? What will be next? What is going to happen to us? How is it this impossible to survive anymore?
One of my dearest, dearest friends recently reminded me, "The path is there; it's already been laid. You just need to trust that it's there, and just keep walking."
The time has come to trust that the path is indeed there… and to just keep walking. And the one thing carrying me through right now is gratitude. It's the one thing that's mine… that's in my power… to help me see the light that shines all around me everywhere I go. And no matter what obstacles fall across my path… as long as I trust… and just keep walking… all will be okay. Somehow in some way… all will be okay. For all of us. I know that deep in my heart.
[On Saturday, December 8, less than a week after DeNardo's blog posting, the family found a place to live, and they will move this weekend. A local farmers' group delivered several boxes of fresh food. The family expresses its gratitude to so many people who stepped forward to help.]

A third-party group is slamming Rep. Fred Clark's vote on the 2009 state budget, but it leaves out some important details.
In Wisconsin's 14th Senate district, incumbent Republican state Sen. Luther Olsen is being challenged by Clark, D-Baraboo, in a recall election.
"Rep. Fred Clark says he'll fight for our kids' education, so why did he vote to cut school aid by nearly $300 million?" the ad asks.
WISC-TV found this claim to be true. Clark voted for the budget written and passed by a Democratic governor and a Democratic-controlled legislature. That budget cut school aid by $294 million.
But when compared with this year's budget, the cut was modest, WISC-TV reported. The 2011-13 state budget, passed by Republicans and supported by Olsen, cut school aid nearly $800 million. Clark voted against that budget.
"Clark says he'll fight for our seniors but voted to cut SeniorCare and cut health care, too," the ad says.
WISC-TV found this claim needs clarification.
SeniorCare, the state's prescription drug program, was cut in the state budget by some $25.6 million. But they weren't cuts that had a direct impact on seniors or changed any eligibility or benefits for those in the program, although they did lower rates paid to pharmacies that fill prescriptions.
The state re-estimated costs for the program, which went down in that biennium so it didn't need as much money allocated. And the Legislature directed the Department of Health Services to find additional administrative efficiencies. Overall, the 2009 budget cut medical assistance programs by some $600 million.
"Clark voted for $37 million in pork barrel projects, including a $5 million scoreboard for the Milwaukee Bucks," the ad says.
WISC-TV found this needs clarification. It's true the state budget in 2009 did include a $5 million grant to the Bradley Center to complete its scoreboard. In the bill, it said the Legislature finds that "sports and entertainment facilities encourage economic development and tourism." There were other projects, too, such as $500,000 to help complete the Oshkosh Opera House and $250,000 to help build the new Madison Children's Museum. None of these earmarks specifically benefitted Clark's district.
The group running this ad, Club for Growth Wisconsin, is a conservative organization located in Sun Prairie that said it's part of a national network. The group's website shows support for Republican Gov. Scott Walker's budget and the Republican senators being recalled.
Wednesday on "News 3 at 6," WISC-TV will have a "Reality Check" on an ad against Olsen.

Hi ladies! I'm new here, but was hoping you could help.
I have a healthy 4 month old boy who has been nursed exclusively since he was born. He is a chunky boy and very long, so I am sure he is getting enough, but sometimes I get paranoid.
He pees alot, but sometimes won't poop for a couple of days. He also sometimes lately only nurses for like 3 minutes on one side before he starts crying for me to put him on the 2nd side. And then sometimes after the 2nd side he still cries. Usually he will calm down and burp for me or take a nap.
And the main reason I am worried that I may not be producing enough milk is that I got my period back a few weeks ago and wonder if the hormones are affecting my supply. When he was about 2 months old I could pump and get like 2-3 oz from just ONE side. Nowadays I don't pump regularly, but the few times I have pumped i only got like 1 1/2 oz from BOTH sides. That worries me.
He sleeps through the night and my breasts are always very full by morning and he eats it all up. I feed him on demand the rest of the day which is usually every 3 hours.
I know there are suppliments out there to help, but I don't want to be dependent on those if I don't need it. Am I being paranoid or do you think I may not be producing enough? What should I do?

How Do Essential Oils Work?
Essential oils enter the body in three ways. They can be:
- Applied to the skin
- Inhaled
- Ingested
How does skin application work?
Essential oils can be applied topically to the skin. Common examples include applying a blend that contains black pepper (Piper nigrum) or ginger (Zinziber officinalis) essential oil to reduce arthritis pain and improve flexibility, or applying German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) essential oil to treat eczema.
How does this work? Our skin is somewhat permeable. The active chemicals in essential oils are absorbed just like the ingredients in common pharmaceuticals such as hormone replacement therapy cream and nicotine patches.
Factors That Increase Skin Absorption
Different factors can affect the absorption of essential oils through the skin. If you massage the area first, it will increase circulation to that area, thereby causing an increase in absorption of essential oils. Heat will likewise increase circulation and thus enhance absorption.
Some researchers report that essential oils may be more readily absorbed from skin locations with greater concentrations of sweat glands and hair follicles, such as the genitals, head, soles, palms, and armpits (Battaglia, 2003).
How do I inhale essential oils?
Another way that essential oils enter the body is inhalation through the nose or mouth. Common examples include inhaling eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globules, E. radiate, or E. smithii) essential oil when you have a cough or inhaling peppermint (Mentha piperita) essential oil to reduce fatigue or nausea. (Note: Often, essential oils are put into a diffuser for inhalation. The section How Do I Choose and Use Essential Oils? describes this in more detail.)
The Olfactory System
The olfactory system includes all physical organs or cells relating to, or contributing to, the sense of smell. When we inhale through the nose, airborne molecules interact with the olfactory organs and, almost immediately, the brain.
Molecules inhaled through the nose or mouth are also carried to the lungs and interact with the respiratory system. Thus, inhaled essential oils can affect the body through several systems and pathways.
Interaction with the Limbic System (Emotional Brain)
During inhalation, odor molecules travel through the nose and affect the brain through a variety of receptor sites, one of which is the limbic system, which is commonly referred to as the "emotional brain."
The limbic system is directly connected to those parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance (Higley & Higley, 1998). This relationship helps explain why smells often trigger emotions. Knowing this, we can hypothesize how inhalation of essential oils can have some very profound physiological and psychological effects!
"Smell is a potent wizard that transports us across thousands of miles and all the years we have lived." Helen Keller
Do people ingest essential oils?
The third way that essential oils enter the body is by ingestion (swallowing). Oral ingestion of essential oils is NOT recommended for the general public because a great deal of essential oils knowledge and expertise is necessary for safe practice.
The ingestion of essential oils is not common practice in the US. In France, it is more common, but only when specially trained physicians and pharmacists prescribe and dispense them. There are several reasons for caution, including the following:
- Some essential oils can be toxic to the liver or kidneys when ingested.
- Chemical breakdown of essential oils during gastric processing can change the effects.
- There could be potential drug interactions. (Tisserand and Balacs, 1995; Schnaubelt, 1999)

"It's not just one or two ranches. It's growing and growing," began Big Island rancher Tim Richards, who is with the Hawaii Cattlemen's Association.
He's talking about the fireweed, which is threatening to take down the Big Island's ranching industry.
"We have 25 percent of our state land mass affected by this and estimates are it will double in 10 years and affect over 2 million of over 4 million of our land if we do nothing," he said.
The Coqui Frog is another major problem, with its screeching calls destroying property values.
The blue mussel has become the latest problem, this time, brought here by tsunami debris from Japan.
"Our big thing is the response to it. We need to irradiate it before becomes a threat to the environment," said Scott Godwin of the Papahanamokuakea National Monument.
"It's because of global events we are more at risk," said Department of Land and Natural Resources Director William Aila.
At the state capitol on Monday, the people fighting to control problems devastating the islands, kicked off "Invasive Species Awareness Week," and honored those who've spent years, decades, fighting the problem and raising awareness.
Darcy Oishi, the Department of Agriculture's Biological Control Section Chief, has been one of many researchers partnering closely with other departments, to find new ways to battle back against invasive species, more recently, releasing the fireweed moth, on the Big Island.
"We have a caterpillar that feeds on it. The ranchers are now breeding caterpillars because they need it to recover range lands again," he said.
In other areas, workers have learned to grow their own sea urchins to replaced damaged sea life, or use hot water to control Coquis Frogs.
They are but a few examples of a new expanded way of thinking to preserve Hawaii's precious native species.
"All of us have a role to play, but we have to play together," said Gary Gill, Deputy Director for the Department of Health.
The state has launched a new online program called "Hawaii Bioblitz 2013: What's in Your Backyard?"
People can take pictures of plants or animals anywhere in Hawaii and post them on the Project Noah website or mobile app.
Dozens of local experts will analyze and identify your pictures.


text: My baby was born 8 weeks early and her due date was just 5 days ago. We've had several issues with breastfeeding but she does ok (not great) at it now. We've been supplementing her after every feeding with EMB, letting her decide how much to take. I had had low supply and been pumping to get it back up. Now I pump as much or a little more than she takes in her supplement bottles after I feed her, so I've got enough. I really want to breastfeed exclusively and eliminate bottles all together. My question is which way to do this? I've read about nursing on demand and staying in bed with your baby for 24 hours, going cold turkey from bottles. Is this an acceptable way or would it be better to slowly wean her off bottles by setting a definate amount in her supplements and then slowly decreasing it? Maybe a combination of both? I was going to start the 24 hour thing today but Im afraid if it doesnt work I'll get discouraged. I'm pretty tired and fighting off a small case of PPD, and I don't want to just give up and bottle feed her to get sleep. Does anyone have any advice or opinions on this? Any tips/experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!

National and international experts in their fields, Wittenberg's faculty members, many of whom have earned prestigious Fulbright Awards, strive to be the best as as they challenge students in creative and extraordinary ways.
Award-winning biology professor Horton Hobbs, for example, has single-handedly elevated cave research throughout the state, which has in turn inspired students to pursue all aspects of the field in their professional lives. Associate Professor of History Amy Livingstone, an expert on Chartres Cathedral in France,was featured recently in a National Geographic Channel documentary. Dar Brooks Hedstrom, associate professor of history, is considered a leading expert in Egyptian archeology, a fact that has opened unprecedented doors of opportunity for Wittenberg students to participate in an international dig or two.
Then there's Warren Copeland, religion professor and mayor of Wittenberg's hometown of Springfield. He tirelessly devotes himself to enriching the lives of both students and local residents. In his new role as faculty director of Wittenberg's Center for Civic & Urban Engagement, Copeland is now ensuring that Springfield and Wittenberg continue to work together to create a more vibrant, cohesive community.
Whatever their field or personal research interests, Wittenberg professors give our students the best of their talents. From small class sizes to personal academic advising, the whole educational experience is taken to a more human level because of them. It's all about the passing on knowledge — and that's done best person to person, and friend to friend. At Wittenberg, professors don't just enlighten students; they become friends for life.

April 17, 2013 —
So far this year, the amount of criminal inpatient costs in Sullivan County is $0. In recent years, the cost has fluctuated a great deal, and soared to more than $500,000 in 2011.
Criminal inpatient costs are created when a judge orders a person be committed to a psychiatric facility for observation or treatment until they are returned to the Sullivan County jail, or are judged to be competent to stand trial. If a person who is suspected of committing a crime is judged unfit to stand trial, he or she remains in the facility and the county must pay 50% of the cost involved, which can run to as much as $10,000 a month.
The appropriation to cover the cost for 2013 is $100,000, but so far no one has been placed in a facility.
At a meeting of the legislature's Planning and Budget Committee at the government center on April 11, legislator Cora Edwards, who is chair of the Public Safety Committee, noted that inpatient costs have been significantly reduced over the past two years. She credited this to a coordinated effort by district attorney Jim Farrell, acting county manager Josh Potosek, community services director Joe Todora and jail administrator Hal Smith, who have been working to see that inmates are not unnecessarily sent to Central New York Psychiatric Center in Marcy.
Edwards said, "I want to recognize the efforts of all involved in bringing these costs down. We still have a way to go to bring the costs to their lowest levels and, hopefully, we will get there with everyone working together."

Law enforcement officials are continuing their investigation into what they are now calling the "suspicious death" of a 9-month-old, according to a news release from the Roosevelt County Sheriff's Office.
Roosevelt County Sheriff Darren Hooker would not comment on why the death is considered suspicious.
Hooker said his office is still awaiting the cause of death and autopsy findings from the New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator in Albuquerque.
Kyler Willis was transported to Roosevelt General Hospital after EMTs from the Portales Fire Department were dispatched to 109 E. Sixth St. in Portales for a report of an unresponsive child around 1 p.m. Sept. 5, according to call logs. Willis was transferred to Covenant Children's Hospital in Lubbock, where she died Thursday, Hooker said.
Hooker would not comment on Willis' condition when EMTs found her.
Hooker said the Sixth Street address where EMTs responded was a babysitter's residence. He said another address outside Portales city limits is part of the investigation.
Hooker said the baby's parents are Rebecca King and Jim Willis of Roosevelt County. A phone listing for Rebecca King on N.M. 88 had been disconnected. No listing for Willis was found.
Services for the baby are scheduled for 10 a.m. Thursday.
"As the death of an infant is always tragic, investigators are not prepared to take any premature action until all avenues of the investigation are complete," Hooker said. "The investigators have been working long, hard days and nights in reference to this very tragic event."
Phone calls to OMI were not returned Tuesday.

The head of Elpida Memory, one of the world's largest suppliers of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips, has confirmed that the company was interested to merge with ProMOS and, perhaps, even PowerChip Semiconductor Corp.
"We will consider merging with ProMOS Technologies," Yukio Sakamoto, chief executive officer of Elpida said during his visit to Taipei, Taiwan, reports Taiwan Economic News. Besides, the Japan-based memory maker is also said to be "assessing the feasibility of merging with PowerChip Semiconductor (PSC).
Rumours about possible merge between Elpida, ProMOS and PowerChip emerged last week when it became clear that Mr. Sakamoto plans to visit Taiwanese authorities.
PowerChip Semiconductor is already collaborating with Elpida on capacity-for-technology terms and is generally likely to merge with the Japanese memory supplier in order to create a very competitive entity.
Meanwhile, ProMOS collaborates with Hynix Semiconductor for technologies and Elpida demands the alliance to be suspended. On the other hand, United Microelectronics Corp. (UMC), which owns second largest – 8.69% – stake in ProMOS, collaborates with Elpida.
Earlier this year Elpida decided to postpone the launch of a memory production joint venture in China. As a result, it is pretty surprising that the company wants to merge with Taiwanese memory makers amid global economic slump as well as particularly tough situation on the market of DRAM. On the other hand, it is pretty logical to invest when competitors cannot and it is also important to gain already operating manufacturing capacities ahead of the rivals, such as Samsung Electronics or Hynix Semiconductor. It would be even worse if Taiwan-based makers of memory go bankrupt.
Mr. Sakamoto reportedly pointed out that the global DRAM market would be rocked if Taiwanese DRAM chipmakers were to be phased out.
