|James Peter McPherson
Madison, Wis., c. 1860
|Mary Burns McPherson
Madison, Wis., c. 1860
Just a month after James and Mary arrived on the American shore, a meeting of a group of sixteen men was held at Teetotalers Hall, 71 Division Street, New York (down in the Old Five Points area – think Gangs of New York) and the Order of the Sons of Temperance came into being on September 29, 1842. Not only was this a "brotherhood" of the temperance movement, but also a group for the mutual support of their members. The highly restricted "Sons" called not only for abstaining from all liquors of an intoxicating quality, but also each member had to be nominated by an existing member ("brother"), then investigated by three other brothers to determine the worthiness of the candidate. A member was required to pay a $2 initiation fee, which was approximately a week's wages for most workers in those days, plus a weekly membership fee of 6cents.
|Postcard of the Order of the Sons of Temperance
For an immigrant couple newly off the boat from Scotland, with no family and little money, the Sons of Temperance offered a family of sorts. Evidently there were a number of Scots who found this harbor in a sometimes hostile new world because in 1841 the Sons of Temperance's Caledonia Division, #31, of which James P. McPherson was a member, took part in the national anniversary celebration, with a reportedly 40 to 50 thousand in attendance, in front of City Hall of New York and the surrounding park. According to journal acknowledgment:
Even with this information, I wasn't satisfied that a brotherhood, insurance of sorts, and support system would lead that Scots great-great grandfather to fully give himself to the temperance movement. So I decided to jump back across the pond and see what I could find in his life in Dundee that might give me more information.
James P. McPherson was born in 1815, the year that saw the end of the Napoleonic wars that had embroiled England and France for decades. He grew up in an era during which England saw massive changes, and perhaps Scotland even more so. People were driven from their rural farms and homes by the economic times, enclosures, and clearances. In the awaiting industrial cities they were met by unemployment and low wages. Furthermore, the historic safety net of the lairds of the land and the church gave way to Poor Laws which were seen to break up families hit by hard times. This was the emerging middle class; although they tended to bear the brunt of these hard times, this mass of workers found that there was also a voice in their numbers.
The working folks of the Dundee flax mills, James' friends and neighbors, were representative of this collective unrest. They met in private homes or in the ale houses to share the cost of a newspaper; those who could read, such as young McPherson, read the news aloud so that all could know and talk about the issues of the day whether it be against the Poor Laws, long work days with low pay, child work laws, education, or temperance.
These were the times that molded my great-great-grandfather; by the time he was in his twenties, this collective pent up anger and frustration bore fruit as the Chartist movement, which proposed universal suffrage for the working man. Historian Dorothy Thompson defined the Chartist movement as the time when "thousands of working people considered that their problems could be solved by the political organization of the country." Much like today's Occupy Wall Street movement draws thousands with issues far from the initial protest against the banking community, the Chartist movement drew a wide array of the disaffected of the day. Reports of marches that extended for miles, throngs of men and women, and sometimes children, sang songs and carried banners brandishing their own particular angst as they marched to an appointed hill, or town, or meeting hall to hear speeches.
Temperance was one of the many issues of that time and place. At once, brought forth by women who railed at men spending what little money they were paid at ale houses, when there was not enough food for the children – to say nothing of the family fights and abuse caused by alcohol. Workers, themselves, complained of drunkenness on the job, and that the mill owners gave out a grog of ale just so the workers could get through the long, hard 12 to 14 hour days. There were also those of the temperance movement that felt that in order for their demands of fair wage and better working conditions to be taken seriously, workers must to shake off the perception of being lazy, drunken and ill-disciplined.
As James was thrust into this milieu, so was his wife-to-be Mary Burns. She grew up in a "dissident"family (anti-Anglican and temperance), and molded by the beliefs of her father, William Gibson Burns, a devoted Chartist, and her uncle Jabez Burns, a well known Wesleyan/Methodist/Baptist preacher and a staunch advocate of the temperance movement. According to family history, the Burns family moved from Oldham, England to Dundee in the early 1830s, when Mary was about eleven years old. About the same time, her uncle Jabez accepted a call to the Baptist Church in Perth, Scotland, where he preached the gospel and temperance.
In 1841, James, a well educated young man for that time, was working in the Dundee flax mills and supporting his old widowed mother Elizabeth Spink. (She was only 54 when she died in 1842, but very old for Dundee. The life expectancy in Dundee was just 32 years of age, two-thirds of Scotland's meager 45 year life expectancy of the time). James' wages as a flax dresser barely covered food and shelter, and a few candles, but he was surrounded by the Dundee radicalism of the times. Workers met in homes and ale houses (far from the eyes of the mill owners and management) to share and read radical newspapers of the day; the hecklers of the heckling room took turns reading the newspaper to their fellow hecklers. (Hecklers wielded the heckling tool to remove the debris from the flax so that the flax could be sent on to the weaving process.) Dundee hecklers and flax workers were known throughout England and Scotland for their radicalism and they acted almost as a prototype union in demanding benefits from the flax mill owners, often just an extra portion of ale to make it through the long hard day. James, part of this flax mill radicalism, was also in written contact with some of the political candidates of the time.
I don't know how James and Mary met – whether it was in the flax mill, or at some radical meeting related to the Chartist or temperance – or whether he was listening to a speech, perhaps by her father, or uncle, and noticed the bonny lass. What I know, that when James and Mary stepped ashore on that August day in 1842, she, and he too, had been molded by the religious and political convictions of her Burns family. He had cut his political teeth in the flax mills of Dundee. It is not surprising that he was open and looking for an avenue of like-minded men. The Sons of Temperance, bursting with energy and a purpose, struck a chord. And James was ready to become a part of that brotherhood of the Sons of Temperance, to march in the streets of New York City, joined by his Scots brethren with their bagpipes and in full highlander dress, to stand shoulder to shoulder, helping one another meet the hardships of being an immigrant in a city teeming with immigrants – and those who would take advantage of their immigrant status of being poor, newly come, and without yet a voice of their own.

No one panic! lol we aren't going anywhere just yet
— Chronic Developments (@chronicdevteam) January 26, 2013
Earlier this week, it was brought to our attention that the Chronic Dev Team had finally shut down after a good, long 3 years. They have been dedicated in providing the community with constant free jailbreaks, including the relatively recent 'corona' untether for iOS 5.1.1. And today, unlike what most have assumed since the announcement of the "evad3rs", they have announced that their role in the jailbreaking community is yet to be finished. The Chronic Dev Team posted the tweet above stating that they "aren't going anywhere just yet."
Currently, the Chronic Dev Team is composed of @p0sixninjaninja, @pod2g, @pimskeks, and other members who have faithfully stuck around since 2009. But as time passes by, this team has slowly been disbanding, and most of its members have gone their separate ways. Most notably is the recent group formed by @planetbeing, @pimskeks, @pod2g, and @MuscleNerd.

Comments: First time in a Fastwitch, coming off the Kinvara 1 which I mostly liked...like the Fastwitch even BETTER! It's firmer and more responsive, about the same weight, and feels just slightly lower to the ground. I am a 5'8" 172lb Clydesdale runner, using these for all my road runs now, from LSD to speed workouts to hill repeats...these shoes do all of that flawlessly.
From: Eddie, Brattleboro, VT
Comments: I just got these today and the fit is perfect! This is my first light shoe. I usually run in Saucony Guide's or Mizuno Inspire's. You can definitely feel the difference in weight! My feet are medium wide and the fit is snug but not tight. You can definitely feel the support. They instantly felt good after I put them on and walked around in them. I'm anxious to take them out for a run and see how they perform.
From: Alex, Chicago, Illinois, USA
Comments: I love the Fastwitch 5! I had ankle problems running in larger, traditional training shoes (e.g. Asics GT series & Brooks Trance) so I have been in the market for a shoe that is lower to the ground but still offers some amount of pronation control. I ran in the Kinvara 2s but the shoe (i) lacked durability (the upper crumbled), (ii) didn't have the stability features I needed, and (iii) was still too high off the ground (Kinvara is: Heel (23mm), Forefoot (19mm) while Fastwitch is: Heel (19mm), Forefoot (15mm)). I use the Fastwitch as my daily running shoe: 40-60MPW on a variety of surfaces.
From: David, State College, PA, USA
Comments: Excellent shoe..!! I feel like some other people do as well. Saucony has a bad habit of trashing a good shoe. Example Triumph 6's were awesome. 7/8 just terrible. 9's are back in line and great. I feel Fastwitch is more in line with what it should be. A good marathon shoe. I train in a Triumph and race in the Fastwitch. Fastwitch is a little snug and stiff, True.! However the shoe has a excellent strike and roll thru. The snugness is fine by me for 26 miles. Sloppy and loose increases possible blisters at the end of 26. Great support in the mid foot.
From: Rob, Mountain Top, PA, USA
Comments: Awesome shoe! I'm coming over from the adidas adizero line and have never tried the fast twitch 3 or 4. The fast twitch 5 offers more pronation control while being a bit lighter than my adizero ageus. Beware the 5mm heel to toe drop. It's a major departure from the normal 11mm or 12mm you might see in other marathon shoes and trainers and can wipe your calves out for a few days as you adjust. The small heal drop is a big reason i love them.
From: Dan, Edison, NJ, USA
Comments: I'm really disappointed with Saucony. The Fastwitch 3 and 4 was a GREAT marathon shoe. The Fastwitch 5 is a complete new shoe. They went from 11mm heel-to-toe to 4mm heel-to-toe AND added a lot of weight! I run about 70 miles a week.
From: Espen, Norway
Comments: I'm wearing one on each foot (my favorite Fastwitch 4, and my brand new green Fastwitch 5). They are different, not doubt. I train in Saucony Mirage (love them), and the Fastwitch 5 seems like an an intermediate shoe: lower profile / lighter trainer than the ample Mirage...more cushion and more durable than the Fastwitch 4. I like it, think I will jump to these when I wear out my Mirages. What I love about the 4's: ample toe width, ultra flexible, lighter, lower and faster. The inside is soft throughout, the tongue just right (minimal with just a touch of soft light padding... the best anywhere; much better than the Mirage). Not sure how I'm going to replace my Fastwitch 4's.
From: Dan, Alta Loma, CA, USA
Comments: Having run in both the previous version and the current Fastwitch 5, I understand the reports about the differences. The Fastwitch 5 is a radical departure. For me, the previous version was a performance trainer, used for faster, non-timed runs. The new model is firmer, more responsive, and can be used for highly intense, timed workouts. They exhibit racer-type feedback but with the support and protection of a structured shoe. The new version is more versatile and a more important shoe in my rotation. Regardless of what Saucony does with the old and new models based on customer feedback, I hope they continue making the Fastwitch 5 under whatever name they deem necessary for marketing reasons.
From: Jeff, Scottsdale, AZ, USA
Comments: I've run in the Fastwitch since they first came out. Always sad to see a good shoe ruined.
From: Brent, Vermont
Comments: I have a pair of Fastwitch 4's that I have run into the ground and I really liked them. I find the 5's to run smaller than the 4's (ordered my same size and it didn't come close to fitting) and also to be really inflexible compared to the 4's. Hated the 5's and returned them.
From: Beth, Milwaukee area, WI, USA
Comments: Fastwitch 3&4 were great. The 5 is terrible. I hope they bring back the 4.
From: Rovatti, NYC, NY USA
Comments: I just used these for the SF Marathon, my second full marathon. I have slight classic everyday pronation as a runner of 5 ft. 9 and 151 lbs. They did the job - secure feel, light, not to snug, didn't feel inflexible. I have not used the previous version to compare them, so I can't speak to the 4 vs. 5 comments. I can say that last year I used the Asics DS Trainer 15 for the same marathon and was not impressed with the forefoot on that shoe vs. this one. The DS made me feel all the cracks and little stones in the road much more so as the mileage went up, but the Fastwitch did a better job for me.
My thought would be that if you are running a course with lots of hills like SF, get a better support shoe. On the hills, I would have liked more support in the shoe for my pronation, especially as I fatigued in the last 6 or so miles. I'm already looking at the Zoot Ultra Ovwa for my next race shoe. I have tried them on and feel like they will be the perfect race shoe for me, given my form. I can say that I did set a new PR by over 7 1/2 minutes, so the Fastwitch 5 certainly didn't hurt me. I normally trained in the Progrid Mirage for a more bare, but not too bare, running experience and still enjoy them. But race day and 26.2 requires more support for me.
From: Matthew, Newark, DE, USA
Comments: Been running in these shoes for 200 miles now and love them. I came from the Elixir 5 and I love the heal drop of the Fastwitch 5 compared to the Mizuno. The little bit of support is just perfect for long runs when my form gets sloppy. The rubber is nice and sticky but wears some what quickly. These are a great racing flat and half marathon shoe.
From: Jonathan, Madison, AL, USA
Comments: loved the fastwitch 4 and HATE the 5...not even close to flexibility of the "old" one...now have to buy the 4 on ebay or somewhere else. hope saucony will realize the mistake they made and fix that with the 6!
From: E, Charlotte, NC, USA
Comments: I agree with a previous post. Saucony ruined a great racing shoe. The Fastwitch 4 was great, but the Fastwitch 5 has an awful feeling with the low heel/toe ratio. Saucony should have continued the high heel/toe drop with the Fastwitch - and then came out with a different name for the low heel/toe drop racer.
From: JC, Wilmington, DE, USA
Comments: These shoes are terrible. Let me back up... I was a HUGE fan of the Saucony Grid Fastwitch 4 shoes. They were light, responsive, and very flexible. But these? I feel like there is a cardboard box taped at the bottom of my shoes. The shoe isn't flexible at all so when you push off the ground, instead of the fabric just flexing naturally, it bends and puts lots of pressure on your toes. I think it's a good thing that Saucony decided to cut some of this shoe's heel to promote more forefoot running, but they did it at an expense of flexibility. I am not a beginner runner. In fact, I average 50-70 miles a week but when I wore these shoes and running after 3 miles, I had to walk those 3 miles back because of feet pain. I never really complained about running shoes until now. I do not recommend this shoe.
From: Arkady, Los Angeles, CA, USA
Comments: I am a relatively lightweight runner (120 lbs) who has shifted to a more forefoot style of running over the last year. Previously, I wore the Asics Gel 1140, but I was looking for something that was lighter and with a less built-up heel. Also, I have narrow feet and I prefer a shoe with a more responsive, firm feel. The Fastwitch 5 delivers in all of these categories. The shoe feels light, almost like a racing flat, but it still has enough support for my flat feet in the medial arches. Also, the low heel promotes a more forefoot type of stride. However, the thing that sold me on the Fastwitch 5 was the fit. The foam in the back of the shoe perfectly holds my heel in place and the rest of the shoe snugly grabs the top of my foot while still giving my toes some room for movement. So far, I have worn these shoes on two four-mile runs (one fast and one slow) and a hill work out, and they have felt light, fast and comfortable for each. My only suggestion for this shoe is more color options (maybe black or blue?.) I have the white colorway and I'm hesitant to run through puddles or anything else that would stain the beautiful exterior.
From: Daniel, Tempe, AZ, USA
Comments: Did a 4 mile break in run then followed that with a 12 mile run, 10 of which were a tempo run. Love these shoes. I like the touch of support they have from the medial post. I bought them as my Boston Marathon shoe, but don't think I am efficient enough to use them for that distance. They feel very flat and light which promots a more barefoot like stride and they are also very comfortable. Couldn't be happier with my purchase. The green color rocks too!

Powering development with affordable, sustainable electricity
More than 1.3 billion people still lack access to affordable, reliable electricity—critical to education, health and livelihoods. Fossil fuels also continue to be the dominant fuel source; more than 40 percent of world's electricity generation still relies on coal burning. The current model for electricity generation is failing to deliver a sufficient supply of clean energy and universal access to affordable and reliable electricity remains elusive.
Charge, a WRI Energy signature initiative, works to create electricity markets that will deliver 10 billion MWh of affordable renewable energy and extend access to 1 billion people by 2020.
As the costs of renewable energy fall dramatically, we have an opportunity to solve access and climate challenges. But this requires substantial change throughout the electricity sector, including understanding the costs and benefits of renewable energy compared to business as usual and developing new models for buying, planning for, and regulating electricity. The promise of emerging technologies can be enabled by an evolving sector that delivers low-carbon development.

Everything allowedMid-rangeGrassy plain with no water sourceSoul Evans with CW and 2T activePost bio and first moveMusic playing
Ill be using my Kimura Kenshin biography updates needed
Soul Evans grins as he gets to his feet to face you. Soul walks slowly as he takes off his suit. As soon as his suit hits the ground Soul gets into a basic fighting position. Soul then stomps on the ground with his left leg kicking up a giant boulder from the earth in front of him. Then, Soul spins 180 degrees and kicks the boulder with his right leg. As his right leg comes in contact with the boulder it is set aflame and towards you at high speeds.
Kasai/ chikyū hatsubai-bi: Kikkuofu!|Fire/Earth Release: Kick Off!
Type: Offensive
Rank: A
Range: Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description: The user will get in a normal fighting position. Then, the user channels chakra into their front and back legs. The user quickly converts the chakra in their front leg into earth chakra and stomps of the ground releasing the earth chakra into the ground which kickd up a giant boulder into the air in front of them. The user then spins 180 degrees as he is converting the chakra in his back leg into fire chakra. In a fluid motion the user spin kicks the boulder with his back leg and releases fire from his heel which shrouds the boulder in fire and launches it off at the opponent. the technique can be used to break down defenses and comparable to a meteorite due to the way it rains down upon the opponent.
-Can only be taught/used by Shade Dracova
-Must have mastered Taijutsu due to the large amount of leg strength it takes
-Can only be used once a match
-Counts as two moves due to the exhausting it is to perform this technique.
-Must have mastered both Doton and Katon
Soul Evans then performs a single handseal. By doing this Soul summons 2 shadow clone to his side(s). The clone to his left is named Faith and the clone to his right is named Hope. Faith flanks to your left as Soul flanks to your right. Hope then takes Soul's place so that you would assume that Hope is the real Soul Evans.
(Kage Bunshin no Jutsu) - Shadow Clone Technique
Chakra Cost:20
Damage Points:N/A
Description: The Kage Bunshin distributes the ninja's chakra evenly among the clones and creates a real copy with form and substance. The clone itself can also utilize any jutsu the original ninja knows. When the clone finally disperses, any new knowledge it has gained is passed back to the original ninja and any additional clones. Upon impact, the clone can be dispersed.

Hi! Congratulations on your little miracle baby!
When I pumped for my 24 weeker, I had to do breast compressions while I pumped, or I got very very little. If you're already doing compressions, give it a try.
my baby was born at 32 weeks as well! i am so glad you got a hospital grade pump- i was not getting much milk at first either but after about the 1st week all the sudden i had TONS! i pumped all through the night and tried at least a few times a day to pump every 2 hours instead of 3 hours- maybe just once or twice- i know you have other children (i had a 14month old when my son was born so i understand the time issues) i also would pump and when no more milk was coming out i would lean forward and shake a little, then start pumping again. did you say if the hospital has a lactation consultant? they can help check out the pump and make sure it all fits you correctly... i ended up needing to get bigger "horns" it was then that my milk really was coming! oh good luck! i know the stress of being with a baby in the NICU and having kids at home- it is a hard road ahead but your little miracle is so worth it! my son will be one year old in less than a month...so hard to believe, and he is still so cute and tiny- 14lbs! he is my tiny little miracle! this is all so worth it- i am amazed at moms who are willing to pump through everything else that is going on- i think pumping was one of the biggest emotional lifts that i had during that time (and the hardest physical part).

I wanted a way to automatically submit to the e404.php page the bad link, and the refering page (if available).
The only way I could figure out how to do this was using REDIRECT_URL and HTTP_REFERER in the meta tag.
Code: Select all
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;
url=/e404.php?request=<!--#echo var="REDIRECT_URL" -->&refer=<!--#echo var="HTTP_REFERER" -->">
There must be a better way that this.
It leads to a second problem in the following hp page when I use the $_GET['refer'] to pull the referring page down.
If the link hosting site is google or yahoo with a bad link (which it invariabley is then $_GET['refer'] contains all sorts of punctuation that stops the script.
So the script can't send an email me telling me which links are out of date and where those links are hosted.
This is only a problem when linking from google and yahoo but hopefully can be overcome
Code: Select all
$message = "
." Page:\r\n http://www.{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}{$_GET['request']}\r\n"
." Referring Page: {$_GET['refer']}\r\n"
help would be nice

There's so much coverage of the shutting down of the News of the World, including mine, but I'm not seeing anyone talking about the journalist at the heart of this story – but who comes out with his reputation and morals intact.
Nick Davies has for four years kept this story alive, ignoring every threat and denial from News International, and always trusting his sources and instincts.
News of the World editor told staff yesterday: "The Guardian was out to get us, and they got us," almost inferring a personal vendetta. But this is business: Davies uncovers wrong-doing for a living. NOTW may have hacked as many as 4,000 phones, including missing schoolchildren and war heroes' families.
This video chat with him is worth watching. Here's an excerpt:
It's about power and the power elite and the way that the power elite tend to look after each other. I think it's reasonable to observe that the Murdoch corporation has too much power and its' evident in the way that the police, the Press Complaints Commission and some politicians automatically backed off and said 'let's not cause trouble, they might hurt us', that they already had too much power when all this was going on on.
It seems to me highly unlikely that it's in the interests of society as a whole to give that too powerful group yet more power.
I rather think the threat from Murdoch owning more stuff is slightly over-stated but it's hard to argue with his analysis of the forces that were holding back the reporting of tabloid journalism's excesses during the last few decades. Much like with MPs' expenses, the rules or transparency have now been re-written.
Davies is scathing about the Met police, whose fear of "causing trouble with this newspaper empire" saw multiple investigations dropped, despite live evidence. "There are senior officers who must be seriously considering whether they should resign," he says.
Oh and Davies also casually says that he's spoken to NOTW hacks (pun intended) who in 2005 asked Glenn Mulcaire to hack the voicemails of David Cameron and George Osbourne. If Davies's reporting on this so far is any guide, you'd be foolish to question him.

September 29, 2011 —
As autumn approaches and temperatures begin to drop, it is increasingly common to see spiders in our homes, where they occasionally seek refuge at this time of year. One of the largest, and therefore potentially alarming, is the fishing spider.
Dolomedes is a genus of spiders of the family Pisauridae. There are over a hundred species of Dolomedes throughout the world, with nine species in North America. Also known as raft spiders, dock spiders or wharf spiders, most are semi-aquatic.
They feed primarily on small insects and are opportunistic ambush hunters that typically feed at night to avoid their primary predators, which are birds. While most fishing spiders frequent waterways, the brownish-gray fishing spider depicted here is frequently found in woodlands at some distance from streams or ponds.
A chief characteristic of female fishing spiders is the construction of an egg sac, which is carried in the chelicerae (jaw-like or fang-bearing appendages), even when hunting. It is discarded when the spiderlings emerge.
Similar in appearance, wolf spiders are members of the family Lycosidae. Wolf spiders are generally large hairy spiders patterned with a mixture of black, gray and brown. An obvious difference is that they carry their egg sacs by attaching them to spinnerets at the rear of their bodies.
Both spiders play important roles in any ecosystem because they are numerous and are voracious insect predators.
Encountering spiders in our homes is not reason for panic. They can easily be relocated outdoors by gently placing a cup over the spider and carefully sliding a firm piece of thin cardboard under the cup's opening.
Patient observation of any creature that we find frightening is an effective technique for overcoming such fear. To read a fascinating account of such an experience, see Mary Oliver's essay, "Swoon," in her collection "Winter Hours."

By Jerry Bonkowski and Bob Moore
48 JIMMIE JOHNSON, Chevrolet
Team: Hendrick Motorsports
WHERE HE STANDS: Jimmie Johnson remained in first place for the fourth straight week after Richmond. He leads second-ranked Carl Edwards by 43 points and third-ranked Dale Earnhardt Jr. by 46 points.
TALLADEGA RECORD: 22 career starts, 2 wins, 5 top-5s, 9 top-10s, 1 pole. Best career finish: first in spring 2006 and spring 2011. Finished 35th in the spring race last year (engine problems), and was 17th there in the fall.
LOOKING AHEAD: Johnson continues to have the best car in the Cup series and is among the favorites to win again at Talladega this Sunday. Talladega also holds good memories for crew chief Chad Knaus, who early in his career worked as a fabricator and mechanic for Stanley Smith Motorsports in Chelsea, Ala., in 1991. Here's Knaus's thoughts: "I honestly love going to Talladega. It's a great racetrack and one I remember from my childhood. I used to come here with Stanley Smith years and years and years ago, and we would focus so much effort into this racetrack. Superspeedway racing is probably what got me my start in motorsports, so I really do look forward to coming back to Talladega."
LOOKING BACK: Johnson typically does well at Richmond, but just didn't have the right car this past Saturday, settling for a 12th-place finish.
ETC.: Johnson has completed 93.6 percent (3,906) of the 4,172 total laps contested in 22 career starts at Talladega. His average start is 10.2 and average finish is 17.7. He has a career-high eight DNFs there.
99 CARL EDWARDS, Ford
Team: Roush Fenway Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: Carl Edwards climbed four spots, from sixth to second place, after Richmond. He trails points leader Jimmie Johnson by 43 points and is three points ahead of a third-ranked tie between Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kasey Kahne.
TALLADEGA RECORD: 17 career starts, 0 wins, 1 top-fives, 4 top-10s, 0 poles. Best career finish: Fifth in fall 2005. Finished 31st in last year's spring race and was 36th in the fall race there.
LOOKING AHEAD: Without question, Talladega has been one of Edwards' worst tracks on the Sprint Cup circuit. But there's cause for optimism in this Sunday's Aaron's 499 because Edwards is in second place in the standings and has lots of momentum. The key is to stay out of trouble there. Here are his thoughts on Sunday's race: "We'd love to get our first superspeedway win as a team. (Crew chief) Jimmy Fennig was able to win two of these speedway races with Matt Kenseth last year, so I feel like I have the best guy on the box that I could have. We've got a fast race car, our mission is to be there on the last lap in position to win. ... As long as we don't wreck five cars like we did in Daytona I think it will be a success. We want to come out of there in a good spot in points, second is nice and we don't want to fall any lower than that."
LOOKING BACK: Edwards had a strong outing at Richmond, finishing sixth and allowing him to climb four positions in the standings, to second place.
ETC.: Edwards has completed just 88.4 percent (2,858) of the 3,232 total laps contested in 17 career starts at Talladega. His average start is 14.9 and average finish is 21.8. He has five DNFs there.
88 DALE EARNHARDT JR., Chevrolet
Team: Hendrick Motorsports
WHERE HE STANDS: Dale Earnhardt Jr. moved up two positions after Richmond and into a tie for third place with Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kasey Kahne. The pair trail points leader Jimmie Johnson by 46 points, are three points behind second-ranked Carl Edwards and lead fifth-ranked Clint Bowyer by seven points.
TALLADEGA RECORD: 26 career starts, 5 wins, 9 top-fives, 13 top-10s and 0 poles. Best career finish: First in fall 2001, spring 2002, fall 2002, spring 2003 and fall 2004. Finished ninth in the spring race there last year, and was 20th in the fall race.
LOOKING AHEAD: Earnhardt returns to the same place where he suffered a concussion on the final lap of last fall's race. The concussion knocked him out of the next two races and ended his hopes for a strong overall finish in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Talladega is by far Earnhardt's most successful track with five career Cup wins there, but remember that he hasn't won there in nine seasons. It's time to do so again. Here are his thoughts on Sunday's race: "Talladega is a lottery because the guy who wins has done something right and earned it. You just really don't have quite as much control over your own destiny here as you do at other racetracks. And I think that will always be the case. But some guys are making it work. Somebody's going to win the race, and I want to be that guy."
LOOKING BACK: You have to give Earnhardt credit. He kept fighting his car and the track at Richmond, yet when it counted the most, he managed to finish with a 10th-place showing. Not bad for a night that could have been worse.
ETC.: Earnhardt has completed 92.3 percent (4,546) of the 4,924 total laps contested in 26 career starts at Talladega. His average start is 15.6 and average finish is 15.0. He has five DNFs there.

Paul Petrino, whose prolific offenses consistently are among the nation's best, was introduced Monday as the new head football coach of the University of Idaho Vandals – and he's happy to be here.
"I'm very excited," Petrino said. "It's a dream come true. I've wanted to be a head coach my whole life. I had a chance to come back out to the Northwest."
Petrino, an assistant at Idaho from 1992-94, embodies the qualities President M. Duane Nellis and Director of Athletics Rob Spear sought in hiring a coach to lead the Vandals.
"Paul has coached college football at the highest level and brings the coaching experience, energy, toughness and commitment to developing the entire student-athlete at the University of Idaho," Spear said. "He has an outstanding coaching pedigree and is known as one of most creative offensive minds in the country, which will bring an exciting brand of football to the University of Idaho."
Nellis said the qualities Petrino brings echo the qualities the University of Idaho represents.
"I'm excited about the selection of coach Petrino and look forward to future successes as he develops the Vandal football program," Nellis said. "The University of Idaho is a national land-grant research institution known for its education and research successes.
For Petrino, the return to Moscow is a return to his Northwest roots. A native of Butte, Mont., and raised in Helena, he is a graduate of Carroll College where he was a two-time All-American quarterback and the NAIA Division II Player of the Year. With Petrino under center from 1985-88, the Saints were 36-6 and won four Frontier Conference titles.
He has parlayed that same success as a player to success with his offenses – and it's what he wants to deliver to Idaho fans.
"I look forward to getting back, getting the Vandal Family all excited and fired up," he said. "We want to score a whole bunch of points, be explosive on offense and hit that quarterback on defense. We want to win a whole bunch of games and go to bowls."
Petrino's coaching career began at his alma mater before he was hired at Idaho in 1992. Among the players he coached at Idaho was All-American and Vandal Athletics Hall of Famer Sherriden May – one on what has become a lengthy list of standout players, record-holders and NFL draftees coached by Petrino.
After his stint at Idaho, he coached at Utah State, Louisville, Illinois, Southern Mississippi and, most recently, Arkansas. He also spent one season with the NFL Atlanta Falcons. Everywhere he has been, his offenses have produced record-setting numbers . (See chronological biography for details).
He and his wife, Maya, have three children – two daughters, Ava and Anne Mari, and a son, Mason. Anne Mari and Mason are twins.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair! Rapunzel may not have long flowing hair but she is one pretty girl! She is about 2 years old, spayed, and has short hair with brown tiger markings. Rapunzel is sweet and loves to cuddle. She loves to talk so she'll need an excellent listener to love her and listen to all of her stories! She can be a little shy at first and would prefer a quiet home where she can be the center of your attention. Because Rapunzel is looking for a quiet home, she would do best with children who are old enough to respect her space. With time adjust and proper introductions, she may do well with other pets but would be happy to be the only furry friend in your life. Rapunzel currently has a "kitty cold" but she is still available for adoption! She is in search of her fairy "tail" ending….might that be with you?

ABILENE, Texas — Eastern New Mexico University earned a fourth provisional qualifier to NCAA Division II national competition on Thursday when the men's 400 relay team of freshman Josh Browning, sophomore J.T. Thompson, freshman Brian Smith and junior Tim Hamett ran a time of 41.32 seconds for third place in Abilene Christian's Twilight Open.
They join senior Kyle Harris in men's triple jump, sophomore Deidra Brown in women's javelin and sophomore Steven Aragon in men's javelin as provisional qualifiers.
The team "provisional" means they haven't met the automatic qualifying standard, but could be selected for the national meet May 22-24 in Walnut, Calif. Brown has the best chance of going, as she is ranked 19th in NCAA Division II.

- Description
These indoor surface mount transfer switches are designed for fast installation in residential and commercial applications. The 18-inch flexible conduit whip attaches easily to the load center and all wires are clearly marked. Simply select the circuits needed in an emergency and connect them to the Pro/Tran wire leads.
Pro/Tran transfer switches feature a rugged powder-coated steel cabinet with six combination 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch knockouts, resettable branch rated circuit breakers and non-defeatable (break-before-make) double-throw switches. Some models feature exclusive Reliance wattmeters with accuracy of ± 3% throughout the entire range.
All models with a power inlet on the front *with exception to model 30216BRK* also include a cover for the power inlet opening that facilitates hardwiring. All models without a power inlet on the front include a covered opening that permits the installation of a power inlet for cord connection directly to the transfer switch.

Works Great
Comment:I watched the installation video before I purchased this transfer switch. It is super easy to install. Some reviews said it only takes an hour. It takes a little more than that, especially if you have to open a hole in a brick foundation. By the same token, it is so easy it would be difficult to make a mistake for anyone with some electrical experience. It does everything it should do.Jack

The easiest theing to setup
Comment:This is so easy to setup even if your not an electrician an ordanary guy with the ordanary job can set this up so easy just take a few days read the instructions then over again then watch the DVD also included. After it sinks in to your head you can install your self with confidence! I only found the hardest part was hooking up the outside inlet box I mean that was easy installing the wire from the transfer box to the inlet box was the hardset thing and itall had instuctions so I just took my time and it all went together one thing is make sure the main breaker is off then go to town, Russ6 Circiut transfer switch

MILANVILLE, PA — A detour is in place for motorists who will temporarily be unable to cross the Skinners Falls Bridge connecting Milanville, PA with Sullivan County, NY. During a routine inspection, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) officials recently identified the need for emergency closure of the bridge in order to repair the structure's truss member cord.
PennDOT hasn't yet determined when the bridge will reopen, but repair time is estimated to be three to four weeks, according to safety press officer, Mike Taluto.

The earth's climate varies naturally. Each component of this complex system evolves on a
different timescale. The atmosphere changes in hours, and its detailed behaviour is impossible to
predict beyond a few days. The upper layers of the oceans adjust in the course of a few seasons,
while changes in the deep oceans can take centuries. The animal and plant life of the biosphere
(which influences rainfall and temperature) normally varies over decades. The cryosphere (snow and
ice) is slower still: changes in thick ice sheets take centuries. The geosphere (the solid earth
itself) varies slowest of all - mountain-building and continental drift (which influence winds and
ocean currents) take place over millions of years.
Past natural climate changes offer vital insights into human-induced climate change. Studies
of past climates ("paleoclimatology") give a sense of the scale of future changes projected
by climate models. They also provide a crucial check on scientists' understanding of key climate
processes and their ability to model them.
Systematic global temperature records are available only since 1860. These include land-based
air temperature measurements and sea-surface temperature measurements. Such data need to be checked
carefully for any biases that may be introduced by changes in observation methods or sites. For
example, many meteorological stations have been located in or near cities. As cities grow, they can
have a significant warming effect on the local climate. Such effects must be – and are –
taken into account in estimating recent changes in global temperature.
Studies of earlier climates are based on indirect evidence. Changing lake levels, for example,
can reveal the past balance between rainfall and evaporation. Tree-rings, coral, ice-caps, or ocean
sediments can all preserve information about the past. Using a combination of measurements, models,
and "detective work", scientists convert the quantities they can measure (such as the
chemical composition of an ice-core sample) into the physical variables they wish to investigate
(such as the Antarctic temperature of 100,000 years ago).
The earth's climate has been dominated by ice ages for the past few million years. Ice
ages are almost certainly triggered by slow "wobbles" in the earth's axis and its orbit
around the sun. These wobbles affect the total amount of energy the planet receives from the sun and
in particular its geographic distribution. During an ice age, global temperatures fall by
5oC and ice-sheets advance over much of Europe and North America. Ice ages are separated
by warmer "interglacial" periods.
Changes in greenhouse gas concentrations may have helped to amplify ice-age cycles. The small
fluctuations in energy arriving from the sun due to the earth's orbital wobbles are not large
enough to account for the size of global temperature changes during the ice age cycles. Ice-core
samples show that greenhouse gas levels also varied significantly and may have played an important
role in amplifying temperature fluctuations.
Reconstructions of past climates can be used as a check on climate model projections.
Comparing a model "prediction" of ice-age climate with the evidence from paleoclimatology
provides a crucial check on the model's representation of processes relevant for future climate
change. But the paleoclimatic evidence can be ambiguous: some sources suggest that, compared with
today, tropical seas were some 5oC colder at the peak of the last ice age, while others
suggest only 1-2oC. As a result, separating model errors from uncertainties in the
evidence can be difficult.
The climate seems to have been remarkably stable since the last ice age ended 10,000 years
ago. As far as scientists can tell, global temperatures have varied by less than one degree since
the dawn of human civilisation. Against the apparently extreme and sometimes rapid climate
fluctuations of the preceding 100,000 years, this stands out as a relatively peaceful interglacial
Models predict that the climate could be warmer by the end of the 21st century than it was during
any previous inter-glacial period. In a period between two ice ages about 125,000 years ago, much
of Europe and Asia appear to have been about 2oC warmer than they are today. However,
models are predicting that temperatures could rise by much more than this over large stretches of
this region during the 21st century if greenhouse gas emissions continue as projected.
Abrupt climate variations in the distant past appear to have been traumatic for life on earth.
The earth's biological history is punctuated by so-called "mass extinction events"
during which a large fraction of the world's species are wiped out. There are many possible
reasons for mass extinctions, but the records suggest that some of these events coincided with
relatively abrupt changes in climate – similar in magnitude to the kind of change now forecast
for the 21st century. Over the next 100 years we may experience conditions unknown since before the
ice ages began many millions of years ago.

SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — Winter's lingering imprint evinced a new blanket of snow last week, just as teams were feeling encouraged by 60-degree temperatures days before. An addendum to winter's final statement came at the Tri-Valley sports awards ceremony, which acknowledged the following MVPs: girls basketball, Jakki Pugh; boys basketball, Peter DiMilia; alpine skiing, Ryan and Kendra Erts; boys indoor track, Jim Bernstein, Omar Lopez and Brian Edwards; girls indoor track, Agnes Pompeii, Ashley Weintraub and Emma Tingley; wrestling, John Monforte; and cheerleading, Allyson Delaney. Tri-Valley girls basketball coach John Tenbus was named as Division V and Class C Coach of the Year by Section 9. This was his first year at the helm. Pugh was named Division V and Class C Player of the Year.
On April 4, baseball, softball, track, tennis and golf will officially get underway. To set the stage, here are just some of the highlights from last spring.
Softball: Sullivan West was Division IV co-champion with O'Neill and beat Onteora 4-3 in the Section 9 quarterfinals before losing to Highland. Livingston Manor won the Class D state championship title as they beat Section V's Bolivar-Richburg 2-1 behind the stellar pitching of Marissa Diescher, who is bound for Penn State in the fall. The 34-6 hurler, with an 0.25 ERA and 632 strike outs, looks to help the Lady Wildcats defend their sectional and state titles.
Track and field: For the second year in a row, Eldred boys and girls swept the Division V and Section 9 Class D titles and all without a track, which was under reconstruction. Diana Schombs led the way for the girls with four gold medals. The new track will be the setting for Eldred's first meet on April 7. Last spring, Christina Watts was named the Top Female Track Athlete at the Monticello Games. Tri-Valley's girls repeated as Division IV and Section 9 champs. Liberty boys were Section 9 runners up to Ellenville and New Paltz. Monticello won its first ever Division III title.
Sullivan West's girls were runner up to Tri-Valley in Division IV and Class C Sectionals. Katie Manzi was the Section 9 champ in the 400. Morgan Hawkins won the 400 hurdles and finished 10th in states. Kendra Barker was the triple jump champ and finished 10th at states. Dani Myers was Section 9 champ in the 3000. SW's 4x800 relay won gold too.
Todd Roeder, Brandon Wagner, Anthony Nicoletti and Gabe Lagrutta won Section 9 titles in discus, triple jump, high jump and javelin, respectively. SW's 400-relay team was also a gold medal winner.
Golf: Sullivan West's boys won an unprecedented seventh straight Division IV title. Drew Billard was a Section 9 qualifier. Sullivan West's girls shared the Division III title with Monticello. Jillian Fife was a state qualifier.
Baseball: Sullivan West (14-6) lost to Spackenkiill in the Class B quarterfinals. For the second year in a row, they wrested the season series from Burke. Winning two of three against Liberty enabled SW to bar the Indians from sectionals.
Here are some upcoming games/meets: Baseball: 4/4, T-V@Liberty, Fallsburg@SW; 4/5, MHS@T-V; 4/7 Eldred@MHS, Chapel Field@Liberty and T-V@SW; Softball: 4/4, Eldred@LM, Chester@T-V, SW@Liberty; 4/6, T-V@Eldred, Port Jervis@MHS; Track: 4/7, Cornwall@MHS, Chapel Field@SW, Burke@Liberty, Fallsburg@Eldred.

Jason Motte…….NOT!
Breath it in folks…our Buccos are 1-0. A thrilling come from behind victory in the top of the ninth gave Pittsburgh a 6-4 'W' over the Cards. Everyones favorite shortstop Jack Wilson comes through in rockstar fashion.
On the Pirates side of things, without Paul Maholm the Buccos would not have one this game. Maholm went 6.2 innings with one eraned run on seven hits. The staff ace pitched very well on the mound in chilly, windy conditions. Maholm also came through at the plate. The Mississippi native was 1-1 with a bloop single while drawing three walks. Just getting used to his success at the plate, Paul could use some tips on the base paths. In an attempt to score from third he was caught in a pickle and tagged out. Had he not have disobeyed 3rd base coach Tony Beasley's stop sign the Pirates could have put the game away early in the 6th inning.
It was a nerve racking game when Tyler Yates was handed the reigns from the bullpen. I've been skeptical of our bullpen since spring tarining and Yates only heightened my negative feelings. The 2 year vet gave up two runs, one of which was a solo homerun by Ryan Ludwick. However, the 'Mad Capper' went out for the save and the 'Big Bull Rider' himself notched it.
The game today made me proud to be a favorite Pirate fan. It's great to rub it in my buddies faces for always putting me down because I'm a 'Burgher. A lot of good came from today. Also, a hint of bad. Stay tuned after Wednesday's game when The Peas will analyze the first series. Until then, it is a great night to be a Pirate fan wherever you may be.

Imagine you are living in a remote village on a secluded mountain road in the Dominican Republic. Your only source of food is what you grow on your own small plot of land. You and your family of five share a small, two room house made of wood. Every day you wake up at dawn to search for the firewood you will use for preparation of the day's food. Once you have returned, your wife can begin to cook the meals for the day. She will spend the majority of the day cooking over one flame to prepare three meals for your family and some neighbors.
This is a reality in a remote mountain community in the Dominican Republic. This project aims to build and maintain a new technology of cook stove in this community. The women of the house are currently using a three stone method of cooking meals. The current method has many negative side-effects, including poor health due to smoke inhalation, environmental degradation due to tree-cutting for fire wood, and an excess of time for food preparation which prevents women from participating in other familial and community activities.
The stoves that we are proposing to build have proven beneficial in many similar communities in the Dominican Republic. The new stoves have a chimney to redirect airflow out of the cooking area, resulting in a reduced amount of smoke inhalation. They are designed to enclose flames and to direct airflow in a way that burns wood slower and hotter, decreasing the amount of wood necessary to prepare a meal. In addition, the new stoves are designed with three burners. This enables women to cook more items at one time, decreasing the amount of time spent cooking. The community has proposed to build 36 new stoves, and community members will contribute roughly 50 percent of the costs. Each family soliciting a stove is required to participate in a class on basic food health and nutrition, as well as a class on stove maintenance. This will ensure the sustainability of the project. In addition, any member of the community who participates in the construction of the new stoves can use the skills learned for future stove construction and masonry projects.

Defense Keys Salisbury Victory over W&L
from press release
Matt Cannone (3g) accounted for nearly half of Salisbury's offensive output in a hard-fought, 7-4 victory over Washington and Lee. The seven goals were the Sea Gulls' fewest in a game since 2008.
© Kevin P. Tucker
SALISBURY, Md. – The No. 2-ranked
Salisbury University men's lacrosse team picked up a 7-4
non-conference victory over visiting Washington and Lee University
in front of 493 in attendance at Sea Gull Stadium on Wednesday
The seven goals scored is the lowest total by the Sea Gulls (3-0) in a victory since a 6-3 win over Denison University on March 16, 2008.
In today's contest, junior attackman Tony Mendes tallied the game's first goal as he fired the ball into the net off an assist from junior attackman Erik Krum. That would be the only goal scored in the first quarter, as there were a combined 14 turnovers in the first 15 minutes.
The second quarter saw a surge of scoring, as each team would tally three goals in the frame. Mac Means got the Generals (1-2) on the board, as he tallied an unassisted goal at the 11:21 mark. The Sea Gulls would outscore the Generals 3-2 to close out the quarter, as junior attackman Matt Cannone tallied a pair of goals.
At halftime, the Sea Gulls had won eight-of-nine face-offs, picked up 22 ground balls compared to just 14 for the Generals and outshot the visitors 12-4. SU was a perfect 14-for-14 on clears, while W&L was held to just 10-of-17 on clear attempts.
The third quarter was all Salisbury, as Cannone, Krum and senior midfielder Perry Craz tallied the only goals of the quarter.
Washington and Lee closed out the scoring in the contest, as Jack Switala converted a man-up opportunity at the 11:34 mark off an assist from Scott Meehan.
For the game, SU outshot W&L 30-20, held a 34-24 ground ball advantage and won 13-of-15 face-offs.

After the tragic loss, the Runge community rallied to rebuild the museum. After a time, the museum again endured some more adversity.
"The museum was very active until a few years ago when illness and lack of personnel to operate the museum caused it to close," said Mary Beth Morgan, Vice President of the Runge Museum Association.
The museum has currently been opened on an individual basis to accommodate visitors who make requests to visit the museum.
The Runge Museum Association held a meeting on Feb. 25 to focus and collaborate community efforts to renew and revive the Runge Museum, with a vision to make the museum once again open to the public in the near future with regular operating hours.
During the meeting, officers were elected to establish various leadership roles in the Association. Elected officers were Larry Dement, President; Mary Beth Morgan, Vice President; Patti Brasher, Secretary; Thomas Reynolds, Treasurer.
Treasurer Thomas Reynolds presented formats relating to the museum's expense and income forms that are used for non-profit organizations. Thomas suggested an audit to be done in order to determine which forms and proper procedures will be required by the government regarding various financial issues and responsibilities. Annual membership dues were raised from $3 to $5.
Fundraisers and activities are being planned to raise funds and community awareness for the museum. A barbecue chicken lunch fundraiser is being planned for the May 11. The museum association also plans to participate in the Runge Fourth of July celebration.
Individuals from the Runge Chamber of Commerce, City Hall, and the Runge community in general are uniting in their efforts to make the museum a success and legacy for the history and people of Runge.
The Runge Museum features exhibits such as archaeological finds, military history, old archived Karnes County newspaper clippings, historic photographs, memorabilia of Runge schools, and more.
More information and details will be forthcoming as plans for the Runge Museum progress.
