Vermont Gas seeks wetlands permit for pipeline
Vermont Gas Systems has filed for a wetlands permit to install gas transmission lines as part of its proposed Addison-Rutland Natural Gas Pipeline project.
Vermont Gas proposes 41.1 miles of 12-inch natural-gas transmission line, 5.1 miles of 6-inch main distribution lines and 4.7 miles of local distribution lines in the project that runs from Colchester to Middlebury.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which is being asked to award the permit, said in a statement that Vermont Gas would place fill material in and drill beneath U.S. waters along the route.
Construction will temporarily affect approximately 23.52 acres of wetlands, the Corps said.
The transmission line and the distribution mainlines would be installed within a corridor 50 to 75 feet wide, using new rights of way as well as existing utility and road rights of way.
Permit conditions would require Vermont Gas to remove all temporary fill upon completion of the project, with disposal at an upland location out of the wetlands.
The public notice, with more detailed information, can be viewed on the Corps website at 1.usa.gov/19klxGf.
Public comments should be sent no later than Jan. 24 to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District, Vermont Project Office (Attn: Michael Adams), 11 Lincoln St., Room 210, Essex Junction, VT 05452.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Haves and Have-Nots
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The market's divided between the haves and the have-nots, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Wednesday. With the distance between the two groups growing, it's only a matter of time before the have-nots become cheap enough to buy.
Cramer explained that among the companies that can do no wrong are those with declining costs in environments where they charge more. He said that drug stocks are among this group, as are consumer stocks including Coca-Cola
Everything from the price of plastics and natural gas, to oil and gasoline to labor is falling in America, which means that all of these savings flow right to the bottom line. Even appliance maker Whirlpool
On the have-not side of the equation are the banks, said Cramer, a group that continues to battle lawsuits and fight the Federal Reserve with low interest rates. Even if a bank does post a good quarter, he said, it's quickly dismissed by investors.
Technology is also among the hated stocks, noted Cramer, with stocks like Intel
Oil and oil service stocks are also in the doldrums, said Cramer, as are companies even remotely related to mining or minerals. It's as if no one uses aluminum or copper anymore, he concluded, even though that's hardly the case. That's why investors need to stick with the "haves" for the moment, as the "have-nots" have not yet hit the bottom.
Executive Decision: David Demshur
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer once again checked in with David Demshur, chairman, president and CEO of Core Laboratories
Demshur said Core Labs was able to deliver another great quarter for shareholders and is seeing strength in all of its divisions. He noted that in its production enhancement division, for example, engineers are hard at work developing technology that will breathe new life into older oil fields.

Brugada Syndrome
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Brugada Syndrome is not the name you expected.
General Discussion
Brugada syndrome is a rare inherited cardiovascular disorder characterized by disturbances affecting the electrical system of the heart. The main symptom is irregular heartbeats and, without treatment, may potentially result in sudden death. In some cases, no symptoms may precede sudden death. Brugada Syndrome typically begins onset in adulthood and follows autosomal dominant inheritance. The prevalence rate of the disease is currently unknown due to its recent identification.
The normal heart has four chambers. The two upper chambers are known as the atria and the two lower chambers are known as the ventricles. Electrical impulses cause the heart to beat. In individuals with Brugada syndrome, the electrical impulses between the ventricles become uncoordinated (ventricular fibrillation) resulting in decreased blood flow. Decreased blood flow to the brain and heart may result in fainting or sudden death.
Brugada syndrome is named by the Spanish cardiologists Pedro Brugada and Josep Brugada who reported it as a distinct clinical syndrome in 1992.

Robert D. Coffin
WATERBURY Robert Douglas Coffin, 87, died peacefully Sunday, Nov. 4, 2012, at his home in Waterbury.

His father, Drussell Coffin, and his wife, Margery, lived in Barre. Bob was a graduate of Waterbury High School and joined the U.S. Navy during his senior year, serving in the South Pacific theater of operations during World War II. On Aug. 30, 1947, he was married to Mary Marion Izor, and the couple spent most of their life in Waterbury.

It's always exciting for audio/video enthusiasts and novices alike when their new speakers, big flat-screen TV, A/V receiver and other components arrive at the front door, ready to be unboxed and set up for the first movie viewing and home theater experience.
Sometimes, however, after setup, the initial impact of the experience may not meet the owner's expectations. Disappointment ensues.
Frequently (with a couple of exceptions I'll get to later) it's through no intrinsic fault of the newly purchased audio-video equipment, but rather just plain old mistakes in system setup.Log in

Commissioner Carlos Salazar Jr. asked Monday during the court's meeting that Arismendez be appointed to fill the position left vacant after Lance S. Frerich left.
"Recently the constable of Precinct 1 resigned to move on to Oklahoma to get employment over there," Salazar told his fellow commissioners.
"I had several individuals interested in the position."
Salazar said that he approached Justice of the Peace Judge Raul Casarez with the applicants.
"The JPs and the constables serve hand in hand," Salazar said.
"At the recommendation of Raul, and I concur with him, I would like to announce and get the court's approval to appoint Ralph Arismendez to the position."
By unanimous vote — excluding Commissioner Eloy Rodriguez who was not at the meeting — Arismendez was appointed.
"This will be until the next general election," Salazar said.
Arismendez offered his thanks to the court and the judge.
"It is a great honor for me. It is a lifelong dream for me that I always wanted to get into law enforcement," Arismendez said. "This is just a dream come true for me. I won't let you down."
Commissioner Dennis DeWitt reminded that Arismendez will still need to get his peace officer's license.
Salazar said, "He is fully aware of that."
Arismendez added that he is currently concluding his associate degree in law enforcement.
Run for council
This isn't the first time that Arismendez has entered the political arena — constable is an elected position.
During this past council election, he tried unsuccessfully to get a seat as a city leader.
Arismendez had thrown his hat into the ring to run for a seat in Ward 4.
Arismendez was upset because at the time of his filing for the city position, he had intended to run against David Carabajal and not longtime Councilman John Fulghum.
Due to last minute switching of wards by his opponents, he was left running against the incumbent Fulghum.
"To be honest, I almost walked away and withdrew completely," Arismendez said in a statement prior to the election.
Ultimately, he lost that race 117 to 21.
Wrecker fee dispute
Arismendez is also no stranger to the county and its inner workings.
About two years ago, commissioners were considering implementing a maximum amount that wrecking companies could charge when called out by law enforcement.
Technically, the county cannot regulate wrecker fees. However, it can create a list of approved companies that are called when law enforcement requests a tow. These companies would agree to charge only so much depending upon the service requested.
The issue then was that some wrecking companies were charging what some were considering excessive fees.
Arismendez's towing company, in fact, was one of the companies that was being discussed. However, he countered, that was a fee charged to an insurance company — not a citizen.
Ultimately, he was one of those placed on a committee that would decide what maximum amount would be considered a fair fee.

Information on grapefruit for breakfast, making a double green shopping bag and fabric tinting with crayons will be the featured topics on "Creative Living" at 9:30 p.m. Tuesday and noon Thursday.
Eleisha Ensign is the executive director of TexaSweet Citrus Marketing Inc., and she will demonstrate two easy, healthy breakfast options with grapefruit to show a new way to eat grapefruit for breakfast. She's from Mission, Texas.
Janet Pray is the president and owner of Islander Sewing Systems, and will show how to make a double green shopping bag.

Suspected Serial Killer Wants Separate Trials
Man Charged In Connection With 7 Slayings
The lawyer for a man accused in a string of Milwaukee killings has filed a motion seeking to have the cases tried separately.
The motion was filed on Wednesday by attorney Russell Jones, who represents Walter Ellis, 49, of Milwaukee. Ellis is charged with killing seven women from 1986 to 2007.
The motion says the crimes aren't similar enough to justify being lumped together. It also says they occurred over too long a period and lack enough overlap of evidence.
A message left Wednesday with district attorney John Chisholm wasn't immediately returned.
Online court records say a hearing on the motion is set for Dec. 23.
Ellis was charged with the killings this summer after police connected him through DNA evidence.

Yes, there is something about exploration by oneself. It's kind of frightening and intimidating, but also freeing.
I found an old ramshackle of an old shed that was part of a crumbling estate house locked in the woods with no apparent driveway... the shed was far off from the estate house so it took me awhile to realize there actually was a house it was associated with rather than being some enchanted, broken down cabin of yesteryear.
Sometimes, I'd rather be inside, anyway.
I love that dress.
If you're ever interested in selling it, please let me know before you list it! I believe you and I are the same size. I'd snatch it up in a second.
Mae Lu, thereafterish.

Good Afternoon.
We continue to thank you all for your patience and perseverance in doing the data corrections with ISBE and Pearson staff. The number of schools with correct data and "closed" is improving markedly, but we must continue to work this project. We have pushed Pearson to triple the number of phone staff and have instituted quality control measures with them to ensure you receive accurate information. (On particularly difficult situations, you may be referred back to ISBE staff so that you are given correct information.) Also, we have told Pearson to establish a protocol so we receive real-time information as schools complete this work, instead of having to wait until the completion of a data run.
Again, we appreciate the ways you have continued to work with us as we strive to get accurate School Report Cards out in as timely a fashion as possible. I am aware many of you are under pressure to distribute these at your upcoming parent-teacher conferences—and we may not make that deadline for many of you, thus complicating your distribution of the cards. But given the high-stakes nature of the data that will ultimately come from this process, we have to do everything necessary to get it right.
A couple of highlights from this week's State Board of Education meeting centered around an informational presentation that was given on middle grades certification as the Board continues to study this issue. Also, we reported to the State Board our plan for the rules review process. We will initially seek to remove rules for programs that are nonexistent or no longer funded (and with no prospect of funding returning). Also, ISBE Division Administrators are being directed to initiate a staff review of rules around a series of guidelines we've proposed. Finally, we are looking with interest at the ideas from you that are coming in on firstname.lastname@example.com to additionally guide our thinking about priorities are we get this project underway.
I had a great opportunity to be with many of our state's
principals at a couple of different meetings in conjunction with the IPA Conference

Science Supplies Warning
Recently, legislation was signed to enact the following prohibition about the purchase of mercury and mercury-added products (such as thermometers, barometers, etc.). The legislation does not prohibit the possession of such products at this time. However, prudent choices at the school and classroom levels are moving away significantly from the use of this highly toxic material. The pertinent wording that you should understand is 415 ILCS 5/22.23b (new):
Sec. 22.23b. Mercury and mercury-added products.
(a) Beginning July 1, 2005, no person shall purchase or accept, for use in a primary or secondary school classroom, bulk elemental mercury, chemicals containing mercury compounds, or instructional euipment or materials containing mercury added during their manufacture. This subsection (a)does not apply to: (i) other products containing mercury added during their manufacture that are used in schools and (ii) measuring devices used as teaching aids, including, but not limited to, barometers, manometers, and thermometers, if no adequate mercury-free substitute exists.
The language prohibiting the purchase of mercury in schools and a link to the legislation is found at: http://www.legis.state.il.us/legislation/publicacts/fulltext.asp?Name=093-0964. More resources will be provided for examining local use and policies soon from ISBE.

Popular Chess Openings
Grandmaster Chris Ward explains the important ideas behind every major opening, unravelling among others the secrets of the Sicilian, the mysteries of the Modern and the fundamentals of the French. He emphasizes the need to understand the key elements of each opening rather than simply memorize a series of complicated variations which leave you stranded if the opponent varies from the expected route.
EBOOK - Improve Your Opening Play
The opening phase of the game throws up difficult questions for those keen to study and improve their chess. In Mastering the Opening, international master Byron Jacobs outlines the key plans and strategies in all major openings and helps the reader to decide upon an opening repertoire. This guide deals with every major opening, has numerous thematic games that illustrate important principles and a revolutionary layout allows readers to absorb the key ideas.
EBOOK - Mastering the Opening
The Tactical Grob This book is on the chess opening known as Grob's Attack. This chess opening starts with 1. g2-g4 or, in Descriptive Notation, 1. P-KN4. Once thought of as a joke, the Grob Opening is a very dangerous opening to both the white and black sides in chess.
The Tactical Grob
This is Henry Grob's groundbreaking work written in German on the move 1. g2-g4. The Grob opening is a very dangerous opening to both the white and black sides in chess.
Grob's Angriff - GERMAN EDITION
FIDE master Eric Schiller presents the opening in all its glory with detailed opening analysis and over. The complete illustrative games in this book you will find all you need to know to take up it as black and confront your opponents from the very earliest stages of the game.
Fly the Pterodactyl
A Complete Chess Opening Repertoire For Black
Are you constantly struggling with the black pieces? Cant make up your mind which openings to play? Are you looking for something new: an all-in-one solution to your problems? Look no further! In this original book, Christoph Wisnewski, who is renowned for his innovative and adventurous opening ideas, provides the reader with an ambitious and all-encompassing repertoire for Black against every main line opening that White can play, based on the initial move 1...Nc6.
EBOOK - Play 1... Nc6
The Trompowsky Attack is well known as an ambitious and aggressive opening. Initially an offbeat line favoured by club players, in recent history it has undergone somewhat of a transformation. Thanks to the efforts and innovations of Grandmasters such as Mickey Adams and Julian Hodgson, it has been fine-tuned into a powerful attacking weapon, and today it is seen as an important mainline opening in its own right.
EBOOK - Starting Out - The Trompowsky
The Benko Gambit is undoubtedly one of Black's most dynamic openings. In return for his pawn investment Black gains long-term pressure, which is often so powerful it continues right through into the endgame. White must decide whether to grab the pawn and try to hold on, or to choose a more aggressive approach. Either way, Black generally succeeds in his aim of unbalancing the position from a very early stage.
EBOOK - Play the Benko Gambit
Including the Schmidt Benoni, the Czech Benoni and the Benko Gambit
Ideal for those wanting to understand the basics of Benoni Systems. This book is a study of all the crucial Benoni systems apart from the Modern Benoni. It presents diverse and practical options against the queen's pawn opening for dynamic, tactical players and solid, positional players alike. Included are such daring defenses as the controversial Blumenfeld Counter-Gambit and the Benko Gambit, a favorite with uncompromising Grandmasters such as Veselin Topalov and Vassily Ivanchuk.
EBOOK - Starting Out - Benoni Systems
Dealing with the English, Reti, King's Indian Attack and Other Annoying Systems
Beating Unusual Chess Openings is a godsend to those chess players fed up with struggling against all opening moves other than White's main two: 1 e4 and 1 d4. From the respectable (English Opening, Reti and King's Indian Attack) through to the off-beat (Nimzo-Larsen Attack, Bird's Opening) and the totally bizarre (Orangutan, Grob); everything Black needs to know about facing unusual openings is covered within these pages.
EBOOK - Beating Unusual Chess Openings
Shock Your Opponents with the Sokolsky
Do you wish to surprise your opponents on the first move? Do you enjoy playing creatively from the beginning of the game? Look no further than 1 b4! With this aggressive pawn lunge White takes the game into relatively unknown territory and forces Black players onto their own devices. Those facing 1 b4 are not allowed to fall into the comfort zone of established theory; instead they have to think for themselves from very early on.
EBOOK - Play 1. b4
From relative obscurity to one of White's favorite queen's pawn openings, the rise in popularity of the Trompowsky Attack over the last decade or so has been quite staggering. Largely inspired by a group of English players headed by Julian Hodgson and Michael Adams, the "Tromp" has been enthusiastically taken up by club players and Grandmasters alike. Even the World number one Garry Kasparov has tried his hand at this dynamic opening.
EBOOK - Trompowsky
Play ...g6, ....Bg7 and ...c5!
The Sniper is a dynamic and universal opening weapon for Black which can be used against all mainline openings. Black's system of development with ...g6 and ...Bg7 initially allows White to occupy the centre but, in true hypermodern style, Black strikes back immediately with ...c5. The Sniper can lead to original or barely-known positions in which Black can strive for the initiative. It's also rich in move-order possibilities, with potential transpositions into Sicilian, King's Indian or Benko-type positions.
EBOOK - The Sniper
A Repertoire for Black Against 1. e4
Former US Open Champion Timothy Taylor takes a contemporary look at one of Black's most ambitious counters to 1 e4, the Alekhine Defence. This is a sharp opening in which Black attacks from the very beginning, luring White's central pawns forward in the expectation of destroying them later on.
EBOOK - Alekhine Alert
Dazzle Your Opponents!
In this book, four renowned opening experts get together to take a revolutionary look at the Benoni, the Benko and all their associated variations. Instead of traveling down well-trodden and analyzed paths, they concentrate on fresh or little-explored variations, selecting a wealth of 'dangerous' options for both colors. Whether playing White or Black, a study of this book will leave you confident and fully-armed, and your opponents running for cover!
EBOOK - Dangerous Weapons - Benoni and Benko
The Budapest Gambit is an ambitious and adventurous opening for Black, who offers a pawn as early as the second move in return for active and rapid development. It has always been a particular favorite at club level, where it still provides a surprise weapon, but it has also been utilized with success by top-class Grandmasters.
EBOOK - The Budapest Gambit
Dazzle Your Opponents
Are you tired of playing the same old openings again and again? Perhaps it's time for a change: choose Dangerous Weapons and amaze your opponents with new and exciting opening ideas!

EBOOK - Play the Catalan
Dazzle Your Opponents!
Perhaps it's time for a change and here's the answer: choose Dangerous Weapons and amaze your opponents with new and exciting opening ideas! In this book, three renowned opening experts get together to take a revolutionary look at the Dutch Defense, one of Black's most ambitious answers to 1. d4. In doing so they take the road less traveled and concentrate on fresh or little-explored variations - selecting a wealth of 'dangerous' options for both colors.
EBOOK - Dangerous Weapons - The Dutch
An Opening Repertoire for Black Based on the Leningrad Variation
There's no doubt that the Dutch Defence is one of Black's most enterprising answers to 1 d4. Black strives to unbalance the position by creating an asymmetrical pawn structure on the very first move, giving himself every opportunity to fight for the initiative from the outset. It's no surprise that the Dutch particularly appeals to ambitious players who relish a complicated battle.
EBOOK - Play the Dutch
The Dutch Defence is an ambitious and underrated counter to the queen's pawn opening. With his very first move Black creates an asymmetrical pawn structure, thus unbalancing the position from a very early stage and allowing both White and Black players to fight for the initiative. Black also has many options within the Dutch Defence, from the ultra-solid Stonewall formation through to the fluid Classical System and the dynamic Leningrad Variation.
EBOOK - Starting Out - Dutch Defence
This series provides an ideal platform to study chess openings. By continually challenging the reader to answer probing questions throughout the book, the Move by Move format greatly encourages the learning and practising of vital skills just as much as the traditional assimilation of opening knowledge. Carefully selected questions and answers are designed to keep you actively involved and allow you to monitor your progress as you learn. This is an excellent way to study any chess opening and at the same time improve your general chess skills and knowledge.
EBOOK - The English - Move by Move
An Active Opening Repertorie for White
An active opening repertoire for White! The English is a sophisticated opening which is very popular at all levels of chess: from up-and-coming players to World Champions such as Garry Kasparov and Vladimir Kramnik. It has many attractions, including flexibility and diversity: White can play either aggressively or quietly, and positions are rich in both strategy and tactics.
EBOOK - Play the English
Ideal for those wanting to understand the basics of the English Opening. The English is a sophisticated and popular opening system that is suitable for all types of players and can lead to both positional and tactical middlegames. Many of the world's top players, including Kasparov and Kramnik, include the English in their openings weaponry.
EBOOK - Starting Out - English
A Dynamic Repertoire For Black
This will prove ideal for players who like to seize the initiative and cause problems for their opponents from the outset. Williams' recommendations in the French are based on his own repertoire which he has successfully employed at Grandmaster level.
EBOOK - Attacking Chess - The French
Dazzle Your Opponents!
In Dangerous Weapons: The French, International Master John Watson takes a revolutionary look at one of the most famous and widely-played chess openings: the French Defence. Instead of travelling down well-trodden and analyzed paths, Watson concentrates on fresh or little-explored variations of the French, selecting a wealth of "dangerous" options for both colours. Whether playing White or Black, a study of this book will leave you confident and fully-armed, and your opponents running for cover!
EBOOK - Dangerous Weapons - French
It's not easy finding a good opening to play against 1 e4, especially if you don't have endless time available to study the latest theoretical developments. If you choose fashionable openings, it's often a necessity to keep pace with modern theory if you want to succeed with Black. This book provides a solution. Neil McDonald advocates his favorite opening - the very popular French Defence - but chooses a repertoire for Black that requires only the minimum amount of move memorization.
EBOOK - How to Play Against 1. e4
The French is one of Black's soundest defences to 1 e4 and is very popular at all levels of chess. Club players enjoy its super-solid structure, while at the top it's played by famous grandmasters such as Vishy Anand and the young Russian star Alexander Morozevich.
EBOOK - Starting Out - The French
The Advance Variation is a popular and direct way of meeting the ultra-solid French Defence. Very early on in the game White opts to fix the pawn structure and establishes a genuine space advantage, upon which he later hopes to mount a serious attack. This method of playing against the French Defence has become a firm favourite amongst uncompromising Grandmasters such as Alexei Shirov, England's Nigel Short and the rising star in Russia, Alexander Grischuk.In this book, opening expert Sam Collins explains the strategies and tactics of this dynamic opening, studying both the main lines as well as the more offbeat variations. Through the use of model games for both White and Black, he provides a thorough grounding in the key plans and ideas, so that readers can quickly and confidently begin to use the French Advance in their own games.
EBOOK - French Advance
Dealing with the English, Reti, King's Indian Attack and other annoying systems? The King's Indian and the Grunfeld are two of Black's most popular answers to 1 d4; unsurprising given that they were long-time favourites of chess legends Garry Kasparov and, before him, Bobby Fischer. Brimming with complexity and dynamism, these two openings often leave those playing White scratching their heads wondering how to squeeze even the slightest of advantages out of the opening and, just as crucially, how to avoid becoming swamped in a morass of complicated theory.
EBOOK - Beating the King's Indian and Grunfeld
Detailed Coverage of this Kasparov Favourite
The Grunfeld is an exciting and dynamic answer to 1. d4, and has become very popular at all levels of chess. A major reason for this is that it has been a long-time favorite of the World's strongest-ever chess player, Garry Kasparov, who used it many times in his numerous World Championship battles. The Grunfeld very much relies on the principles of the hyper-modern school of chess: Black allows White to erect an impressive-looking center on the assumption that in the long run it could prove to be more of a liability than an asset.
EBOOK - Play the Grunfeld
Weapons for White Against the King's Indian and Grunfeld
Grandmaster Damian Lemos presents a repertoire for White against both the King's Indian and Grünfeld defences. Many players struggle to find suitable lines to challenge these two popular and dynamic openings, or find the masses of theory in the main lines difficult to digest. Lemos solves this perennial problem by advocating a solid system of development based on the fianchetto system, where understanding ideas is more important than move memorization.
EBOOK - Opening Repertoire - Fianchetto System
This follow-up to the successful chess book How to Play the Sicilian Defence, by the same authors, explains the basic principles of the King's Indian without involving the reader in reams of analysis. Many useful rules and guidelines are given, enabling the reader to understand the ideas behind the opening and the standard types of position which arise.
How to Play the King's Indian Defence
Dazzle Your Opponents!
Are you tired of playing the same old openings time and time again? Perhaps it's time for a change, but you cannot decide between the numerous options available? Here's the answer: choose Dangerous Weapons and amaze your opponents with new and exciting opening ideas!

I turned 50 years old this past week, and had a fabulous time celebrating with my friends and family. My husband and two 'children' (21 and 19 years old) went to Miami for a fun vacation/birthday celebration in March, and my husband and I traveled to Israel this past December to visit our son who was there for 5 months with a program for Jewish youth. A wonderful trip – I highly recommend it!"
Julie Stoltman
Julie graduate from the University of Rochester as a double major in Women's Studies and Political Science in 2006.
Julie says, "I absolutely loved my time at UR and met so many great people through my involvement with the Susan B. Anthony Institute. My women's studies degree, as well as my time spent in London while studying abroad junior year, made me want to pursue graduate studies in the UK. After graduation in 2006, I moved to England and earned an MSc in Gender, Development and Globalisation from the London School of Economics in 2007. I then spent a year working as a parliamentary researcher and constituency caseworker for a Member of Parliament in the House of Commons. My background in gender, women's studies and politics then enabled me to transition from working in Parliament to working for a central government department, as a Policy Advisor for the newly created Government Equalities Office in the UK. In my time at the GEO, I worked on issues related to women's appointment to company boards of directors, equality legislation and government policies related to maternity and paternity leave. After that, I spent a year working for a local government authority in London as a Senior Policy Officer before moving back to the US in September 2011. Currently, I'm working at a behavioral health agency as in Seattle, WA and volunteering with Planned Parenthood while I contemplate my next career move!"
Julianne Lawlor
Julie graduated from the University in 2009, and is spending the summer working in Spain as an au pair for a Spanish family. She previously worked as a nanny in San Francisco, and wanted to au pair in order to travel and see what family life is like on a day-to-day basis in a different country.
Julie says, "I am really enjoying my time with my Spanish family, especially the time I have spent on the sailboat that the father of the family both designed and built by hand. A Coruña is a beautiful city, with a lighthouse and security wall built during the Middle Ages. I am currently training for my first half marathon, and this beautiful trail is definitely making my training more enjoyable. I plan to spend the fall in San Francisco, and then I may be moving to Brazil sometime around December to au pair in Sao Paulo for a family I used to work for in San Francisco.
Women's Studies opened my eyes to a lot of things that, while I may have understood on a basic level, I did not know how to articulate. That's what I found so intriguing about the field. Some gender inequalities that now appear so blatant to me, were hidden because I grew up accepting that they were normal and not to be questioned. I feel similarly about traveling. I think that understanding new cultures is helping me to better analyze my own culture. "
Maggie Maxwell
Maggie was a double major in Women's Studies and Political Science. She was a Take 5 scholar studying sustainability and co-taught SBAI's Sisterhood and Feminism course at Sojourner House.
Maggies says, "I loved being a Gender and Women's Studies Major at UR because the topics were so compelling and important, the professors so passionate about the material they were teaching, the other students inquisitive and engaged, and for the wonderful support of the Susan B. Anthony Institute. I think that I am fortunate, not only to have had such a positive experience as a student, but also to have cultivated a spirit and habit of critical thinking while earning my BA. That is something that will always stay with me. It has served me well in my current position, working at the Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University and I am sure that my education and experiences at SBAI will also prove advantageous in my next venture, moving to NYC this fall."
Nicci Meadow
Nicci Meadow graduated in 1985 with degrees in Political Science and Women's Studies She was an officer in the Women's Caucus and a co-captain of the Women's Tennis Team. She created a credited semester-long internship at the National Women's Political Caucus in 1984, monitoring their endorsed candidates during the year Geraldine Ferraro was on the ticket as the Vice Presidential Nominee.She wrote for a local newspaper, the New Women's Times.
Nicci says, "I especially enjoyed Feminist Post Modernism, a graduate level class that I took with several graduate students. I also remember writing a paper on international sex trafficking and sexual assault/rape war tactics, which I was able to do research on and track using United Nations documents. This was much before the trafficking of women became well known, before a time when laws and funding were allocated to start fighting against it."
She went on to complete her dream of becoming a legal services lawyer, graduating from Northeastern University School of Law in 1988. Nicci practiced anti-poverty law for almost nine years in Central Massachusettes, where she organized a union of legal services lawyers. Nicci says she "pushes the boundaries of her legal career at all times," and that she "moved on to become a non-profit manager overseeing WIC, domestic violence and sexual assault services, elderly nutrition, Head Start and Child Care, Immigration and Health Care Access programs." She served as the Executive Director of the Women's Bar Association and Foundation of Massachusetts for three years. Nicci is currently the Director of Elder Services at Action for Boston Community Development (ABCD) in Boston where she is working on creating and advocating for just public policies, social change and ensuring basic services and resources are available for healthy aging with dignity for low in come older adults.

Man charged with felony DUINovember 29,2012BENNINGTON An Arlington man is facing a felony charge of driving under the influence of alcohol after police said he was stopped Monday in Manchester with a blood alcohol content almost double the legal limit.
William J. Whitman, 46, of Arlington, was arraigned Tuesday in Bennington criminal court on two felony charges of driving under the influence of alcohol, one related to driving while under the influence and the other related to driving while over the legal limit. Whitman pleaded innocent to the charges and was released without bail.
In an affidavit, officer Abigail Zimmer, of the Manchester Police Department, said she noticed Whitman driving about 7:45 p.m. Monday around on East Manchester Road near Hillcrest Road. Zimmer said Whitmans vehicle was crossing over the center line of the road.
According to the affidavit, Zimmer followed Whitman but another truck came between Whitman and the police cruiser. However, Officer Christopher Mason, also of the Manchester Police Department, stopped Whitman for a speeding violation on Richville Road.
Police said Whitmans blood alcohol content was measured at 0.159 percent at about 8 p.m. The legal limit in Vermont is 0.08 percent.
A second test conducted at the Manchester Police Station around 11:10 p.m. showed a blood alcohol content of 0.154 percent, Zimmer said.
Court records indicated that Whitman was previously convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol in April 1981 and July 2011.MORE IN This Just InBARRE TOWN Firefighters faced a collection of adverse conditions as a house on Granitville Road...

'Pro-NFL inclinations'
'Recall Madison' Web sites go online after District 6 councilman votes to clear the way for talks with the NFL
By André Coleman 11/29/2012

I definitely vote to recall Steve Madison! He has let down district 6 so many times--the closing of the fire station, the 710 and now the Rosebowl/NFL. I am curious as to how most every government job runs so far overtime and tremendously over budget. Do they always take the lowest bid-and does that ever work out? Who manages the project that is so ineptly handled? Really, who is minding the store here! So many private projects rarely have this many problems, mostly because who would pay for it?! These "officials" are playing with our money and our lives. We had a chance to vote him out, and now we are having to work to get rid of him. Wake up people!
Steve Madison needs to be recalled. I do not live in his district, but I wish I did just so I could cast a vote against him. He is part of the blue-eyed, white ruling class that holds back the rest of us.
Just move. It's the city of pasadena not the city of district 6 and absolutely nothing has been finalized yet.
There's a whole lot of nice residential areas in the inland empire that have absolutely nothing going on, i'm sure they'd love to have you all.
The problem with the Rose Bowl area is the out of town riders and walkers that make the area so congested that it is impossible to navigate down there even on non game days. Pasadena is an urban area, and the Rose Bowl was here before any of the residents who want to turn back the clock and make it a rural, natural area again. Wish that I could afford to live in Linda Vista, and I would gladly take it NFL and all. Madison is not always right, but he is right on this one.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

2009 Gest Fellow: Michael E. McGuireThursday, August 20th, 2009
From time to time, we will be posting profiles of our Gest Fellows. Michael E. McGuire is a Ph.D. candidate in History at Boston University. His research is on "Quaker NGOs That Offered Humanitarian Aid to France During and After World War I."
I am researching the work of American non-governmental organizations (NGOs) formed to aid French civilians during World War I, and to assist France's postwar reconstruction, to see whether such NGOs affected Franco-American relations. These NGOs include large umbrella organizations like the American Red Cross, and smaller NGOs like the American Friends' Reconstruction Unit, which trained at Haverford before deploying to France. I am particularly interested in how American Friends were selected and trained for their work in France, how they integrated with existing English Friends' operations, how the Friends cooperated with similarly-concerned governments and NGOs, how American Friends overcame the language barrier (many tried to brush up or learn French on the voyage or on the job), how both French and American cultures interacted when American Friends entered and remained in parts of France, and how both Friends and French people commemorated NGO work after it largely ceased in 1920.

We started DD on solids around 6 mos - tried cereal (rice & oatmeal) and sometimes she'll eat that & sometimes not. Tried the greens (peas & beans)- her faces were priceless - some avocado mashed, bananas mashed and in jar, applesauce, carrots and peaches and she raspberries/spits all of them out! The only thing she will eat is sweet potatoes (and says ummm, and opens her mouth for more). So I've tried to re-introduce these foods again to see if maybe she'll start to like them but same result. I don't want to give her sweet potatoes every day so should I just keep trying other things on those days or just do cereal & every couple days sweet potatoes for awhile?
Her schedule for solids is pretty loose. Most days cereal in am (after nursing or bottle) & veggies after lunch bottle or if they don't give them at daycare then we give them at dinner.
Also, my sister started to give her a few cheerios last week (she got about 2 in her mouth) - should I try more finger foods or stick to baby stuff?
I'm not really all that worried about it b/c I know some take longer to like solids than others but just looking for suggestions on what I can try?

Thanks on my retiring from Treiziste Diary
Posted 05 September 2010 - 01:27 PM
As John so kindly puts it in the latest Rugby League World, I tried to retire from my stint at Treiziste Diary a couple of editions ago, the feature on the history of RL in Paris was meant to be my last. But I have popped up again in the latest issue of Rugby League World, with a preview of the forthcoming LER season, including the Magique Weekend at L�zignan, and the latest on the comings and goings.
I just want to thank all of you who have said so many kind things about the Diary, which I had done every month since 2003. Some have posted kind words on here; others have sent e-mails or PM�s.
I enjoyed every minute of it and felt proud and privileged to fight the corner of French RL and bring a bit of its� history, colour and culture to readers of the magazine.
I have been immersed in France and French culture since I first road my bike from Leeds to Paris in 1963, as a keen fan of the Tour de France. Since then I have been involved in numerous junior exchanges, was a founder and very active member of XIII Actif, taking the case of French RL to both Westminster and the European Parliament with Robert Fassolette. I was privileged to take part in the discussions between UTC and the RFL over the Catalans bid for Super League. I have done academic research for Carnegie into aspects of French RL and was involved in taking the Carnegie Challenge Cup to Perpignan and to the Beach RL Tournament at Canet Plage. I have taught RL French to Warrington fans, been interviewed several times on French radio, including once last year, when I was ironically at Barcelona Airport, prior to a Catalans play-off game. I was involved in the L�zignan �9�s� and have made the odd contact between French clubs and UK or Aussie players. I am a big fan of Toulouse and their ambitions for SL, and still pen a weekly piece for the club�s website.
I am pleased that at last the powers that be are very aware of and supportive of French RL, and realise how important it is for the world game that France RL is strong at club and national team level. SL and Championship clubs have discovered that a trip to France is very enjoyable, something that BARLA clubs with their strong French links discovered decades ago.
But I am getting a bit long in the tooth. Not true I haven�t any! I am still involved in Bramley RL, am an active Director of the highly successful Hunslet Club (formerly Hunslet Boys Club), which both involve regular trips to Leeds from the East Coast by public transport.
I am still involved in organising junior exchanges like the Stanningley-St Martin de Crau X111, which enters its 9th year next year. Indeed I am still helping broker exchanges, the latest being for Leeds Akkies, with whom I hope to be going to Bretagne Nantes Vikings XIII in October, and hopefully one for Gloucester University with Bordeaux, which should be crystallised later this month.
But I have these last few months had family illnesses to contend with. Things are starting to improve on this front thankfully, but the year has been very demanding. You may have noticed my lack of posts in recent weeks. Rectified today with a vengeance!
So it seemed an appropriate time to �retire� as the TD columnist. I am delighted that Mike Rylance will take up the Diarist�s pen. Mike one of the most respected authors and writers in the sport needs no introduction. He is the most respected RL author throughout treiziste France.
So I don�t feel quite so bad as I did when I first informed John that I wanted to step down. Having said that I have one or two in depth �one-off� pieces, such as �the Basques and RL� that I hope to write later on in the season, but not necessarily as part of TD.
I will miss it greatly and again I thank all at RLW for inviting me to do it in 2003. It has been a privilege and a pleasure. But nothing lasts forever, not even hopefully the �big 4� hegemony this year.
But I will always remain a champion of France, its culture and RL. Indeed I shall be enjoying today a wonderful bottle of the SOA Avignon XIII special cuvee Cotes du Rhone red, a splendid PR move by the progressive Avignon Bisons.
But finally a big thank to all of those of you who have expressed kind words to me via the forum, PMs, e-mail, or in person, as I step back a little, hopefully to regroup. �Reculer pour mieux sauter� as the French would say!

Anyway, I've enjoyed reading your Treiziste Diary as much as I did Edgar's vivid essays and am pleased too that you are to be succeeded by Mike Rylance - author of the cruelly under-reviewed The Forbidden Game, a must-read for anyone who has ever cared for the game in France.

By Andy Jackson: CNJ staff writer
After almost two years commanding Cannon Air Force Base, Col. John Posner is leaving March 6 for the Pentagon, officials said this week.
Posner has been commanding the base since April 2004, according to Lt. James Nichols of Cannon Public Affairs.
Col. Scott West of Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany will take over when Posner leaves, Nichols said.
"This is a normal process. About every two years we get a new commander," Nichols said.
West hasn't arrived at Cannon yet, Nichols said.
Posner will be missed, said Kim Huffman, who served at Cannon until 2002 and currently directs the Roosevelt County Chamber of Commerce.
"The awards he's led Cannon to are incredible," Huffman said.
Posner handled the pressure of following orders during the Base Realignment and Closure process, when federal officials recommended Cannon's closure, Huffman said.
"Col. Posner has been in a rough position to do what his boss tells him to do, and he has done that well. … I think he's just been under a lot of pressure," Huffman said.
Posner will attain rank of brigadier general when he arrives in Washington, D.C., Nichols said. He will serve as deputy director of operations for the National Military Command Center, operations Team One at the Pentagon, according to a Department of Defense news release.
"I consider it a vote of confidence," Posner said in a November interview with the CNJ, after his promotion was announced. "I am very honored."
Posner has clocked 3,800 hours of flight time as a command pilot, and he has 200 hours of combat time under his belt, according to his biography.
Spangdahlem Air Base, where West is coming from, is home of the 52nd fighter wing. It's a wing with a busy deployment schedule since Operation Enduring Freedom began, and has squadrons specializing in supply, maintenance, support and logistics, according to the base's Web site.
Neither Posner nor West could not be reached for comment on Wednesday.

We're not going to fall to our inevitable fiscal doom, no matter how much the media says we will

Ooh yes, thank you for instructing all us Chicken-Littles to stop dissing the current war-crook in charge.
War-crook, war, drones, Patriot(not)Act, NDAA, GITMO, post-Constitutional America ... budget crisis, deficit, GLOBAL ECONOMIC MELTDOWN, ~ if it's broke and nobody tries to fix it, then you are indeed up that creek without a paddle.
So, what's the problem? Do-ya really think that it's because Prez BarryHO is (half)Black? Currently (when compared to the Shrub), the man has doubled-down on war-crimes and Constitutional evisceration ... originally, his ("Obamacare") health-care plan was the (Romney's) Repug wetdream. American political theater ... are you distracted yet?
Meanwhile, the rest of the world no longer loves America. This is mostly because of our global banking infused, ZOG government. So far, EVERY TIME some Middle-East nation has decided to stop using the near-worthless USD for trading its petroleum reserves, WDC has sent in its economic hit jackals to effectively wreck havoc against that sovereign nation. As we continue to do with our own mercenary forces in Iraq and elsewhere, civilization and functional democracy remains destroyed for these people.
Meanwhile, America's "best-friend" in the ME is hard at work (overtime!) teaching our law enforcement goons how to treat Americans just like its occupation forces treat Palestinians ... and that fiscal cliff? We fell off it a while ago, we just haven't hit bottom quite yet.
In the interim, the "Preppers" are all saying, "Canned foods and shotguns!" Please, tell me again BG just how wrong they may be.
Hey, Barry. . . . . the President is asking for 1.6 trillion in taxes over 10 years. This is DOUBLE the amount he spoke about during the campaign. In addition to this, our "constitutional law professor" of a President, wants to have sole rights of increasing the country's debt limit. Do you think such an offering comes from a man who really wants to make a deal, or push us over the cliff that you speak about? Sure, the proverbial fiscal cliff is not going to end the world as we know it, but it will put make it much harder to get our economy going. . . . there is no historical comparison to the current situation. . . . oopsie. . . . yes, in deed there is. The Great Depression would have ended 5 years earlier if FDR would not have continued to try and "fix" the economy with government programs and taxation. We are headed for larger government, more taxes, less personal freedom and an America that will not be recognizable to our generation.
