As students head home from school for the weekend, some are taking home much more than just books and homework.
Southside Elementary - in Sparta, like many schools, has a lot of students who take advantage of free and reduced-price meals, but extending the helping hand for a good meal was only possible during the school day, that is, until now.
For some students at Southside elementary, lunch time on Friday was their meal for a while.
"Some students, we know were going home on Friday with lunch being their last meal and then they would get nothing until breakfast on Monday," said Amy Russ, third grade teacher at Southside Elementary.
The need for a good meal is growing at Southside. Nearly 60 percent of students qualify for free or reduced meals.
While that need can be met during the school day, the weekends are a huge concern for Russ.
"You wonder if their nutritional needs are being met," said Russ. "You wonder if they're getting enough sleep. Can they learn if they're hungry? Their behaviors -- are they going to be able to make good choices when all they can worry about is lunch, 'when do I get to eat again?'"
So Russ and other staff members started the Nutrition for Children program in October.
With some generous donations from community organizations, every Friday nearly 20 students are sent home with food.
"They take home canned fruits [and] canned vegetables pasta," said Russ. "They take home snack crackers [and] cheese."
Its enough food for students to make at least one meal and some snacks to help them get by until the bell rings again Monday morning.
So far, Southside Principal Diane Everson-Riley said the program is proving to be successful but keeping this good thing going may be a struggle.
"There's a financial burden not only on families, but also on businesses in the area so we are nervous about keeping this going," said Everson-Riley.
Everson-Riley and Russ say while they have enough funds for the year, they'll be working hard to continue the program for many years to come.
"We get to kind of extend our reach beyond the school day with a program like this and bring a little bit of light at home if it's a struggle," said Russ.
The school does take into account siblings at home, so if they know a student in need has a brother or sister at home, they'll send home just a little more food to help out.
If you would like to help you can contact South Side Elementary at 608-269-8186.

Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell announced Monday that city contractors have repaved 77 lane-miles of deteriorated roads since he took office in January.
The first quarterly status update has been released. The administration will regularly produce these updates to help the public keep track of road repairs and spending.
The status update shows that the city is expected to meet Caldwell's target of repaving 300 lane-miles in the current fiscal year. The administration has put 14 major road projects worth a total of $106 million out to bid since February, in addition to the 17 projects that are currently underway.
"Repairing our bad roads and making good roads last longer are some of this administration's top priorities, and we are getting the job done," Caldwell said.
Caldwell has designated $153 million for road repair work in his proposed budget for the new fiscal year, and plans to seek City Council approval of similar amounts in each of the following three years.
The administration's five-year road plan aims to repair all 1,500 lane-miles of roads that are considered degraded. The work will go far beyond the pothole-patching that provides a temporary fix.
Despite some perceptions that the city is unable to execute projects equal to the funding made available, virtually all the money budgeted for road repairs from fiscal years 2007 through 2011 has been encumbered (contracted to spend), according to Caldwell.
The new projects being bid will encumber all remaining funding for 2012, along with an estimated $80 million in 2013 funds.

- Abstract
- Two different simple measurements of galaxy star formation rate with different timescales are compared empirically on 156,395 fiber spectra of galaxies with r < 17.77 mag taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey in the redshift range 0.05 < z < 0.20: a ratio A/K found by fitting a linear sum of an average old stellar population spectrum (K) and average A star spectrum (A) to the galaxy spectrum, and the equivalent width (EW) of the Hα emission line. The two measures are strongly correlated, but there is a small, clearly separated population of outliers from the median correlation that display excess A/K relative to Hα EW. These "K+A" (or "E+A") galaxies must have dramatically decreased their star formation rates over the last ∼1 Gyr. The K+A luminosity distribution is similar to that of the total galaxy population. The K+A population appears to be bulge-dominated, but bluer and with higher surface brightness than normal bulge-dominated galaxies; it appears that K+A galaxies will fade with time into normal bulge-dominated galaxies. The inferred rate density for K+A galaxy formation is ∼10-4 h3 Mpc-3 Gyr -1 at redshift z ∼ 0.1. These events are taking place in the field; the K+A galaxies found in this study do not primarily lie in the high-density environments or clusters typical of bulge-dominated populations.

They offer four different gf pizzas. The crust is fair, wouldn't go out of my way next time
Really yummy GF pizza! They have 4 options I believe. The manger always brings out the GF pizza themselves with a plastic pick with GF notated on it just to be super careful. Many salads as well. Would recommend!
went because we heard they had gluten free pizza. they no longer serve it there so don't waste a trip unless you want a salad.
827 Brandon Town Center Mall, Brandon, FL 33511
Good pizza, no reaction. My favorite is still mellow mushroom.
2800 N Main Street #872, Santa Ana, CA 92705
Very careful and well trained. Their gf pizzas are made in an entirely separate area. I used to get sick eating here but they've redone their training and are great now!
1870 Annapolis Mall, Annapolis, MD 21401
The best GF pizza I've ever tasted, and I've tried many. Good service and good food!
3 Westfarms Mall, Farmington, CT 06032
Awesome gluten free pizza. They offer pizzas made in a dedicated facility or can be made on the spot. Pizza always brought out by manager who is not handling food. They make a very good effort and I've never had a problem despite being very sensitive
5665 North Centerpark Way, Unit N-141, Glendale, WI 53209
excellent gf pizzas and all the staff is savvy on the items marked gf on menu have no gluten ingredients but for fully certified gluten free order off the gf menu. I always worry when there is flour in the air from pizza doughs or bakery items but gf pizzas are wrapped and are fully gf!
2284 Kalakaua Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96815
So the poke I had last night seemed more authentic, but this is CPK, so I wasn't expecting authenticity. Just an easy meal where my kid would be happy and I could relax, knowing I wouldn't get glutened. And that's what I got. Mahalo! Also, I like their fruit ice tea.
500 West Germantown Pike, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462
The GF BBQ chicken Pizza was great but crust could be crispier. The grilled vegetable salad was phenomenal, added the grilled chicken but be sure to specify Gluten allergy as the chicken is normally grilled on same grille as wheat tortillas. They will line grille with aluminum foil if requesting GF.
17350 Hall Road, Clinton Township, MI 48038
Pizza is never cooked enough. Very doughy. Havent gotten sick but definitely had better food elsewhere.
500 West Germantown Pike, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462
While the pizza they have is delicious and I've never had a bad reaction, they are frequently out of stock of their gluten free pizza crust.
7895 North Blackstone Ave., Fresno, CA 93720
Certified gluten free menu. Good food , safe to eat
McCarran International Airport, 5757 Wayne Newton Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV 89111
saddly no gf options in the airport stores.
53 Third Street, San Francisco, CA 94103
Good pizza at the 3rd Street location in San Francisco. No reaction after. Order with manager to be sure.
7101 Democracy Blvd., Bethesda, MD
Enjoyed the salad w chicken on it - from the GF menu. Nice dressing too!
618 Smith Haven Mall, Lake Grove, NY 11755
Tasty GF pizza, they have added more gf items to the menu than they used to have.
1 Garden State Plaza, #1160, Paramus, NJ 07652
Although it sometimes takes a little longer to get your GF order, it is definitely worth it. We go pretty often and my daughter is always happy with her pizza. The managers there are wonderful and always check on you and bring the food when you order GF. Definitely worth a trip to the mall just for this restaurant.
3400 Las Vegas Blvd. South, Las Vegas, NV
Salad menu options for GF, about it. Don't even have a GF crust. Definitely NOT a celiac friendly restaurant.
11655 Ash Street, Leawood, KS 66211
found out last week I have celiac. this is the first restaurant I've eaten at since. staff was very friendly and explained they have selections on the main menu, but are not celiac friendly; for that they have a separate menu with only a few selections of pizza. Manager came by twice to check on me and asked my honest opinion. when I explained I have nothing to compare, he suggested spin pizza which also is suppose to have GF pizza. the pizza was a little burned around he edges, and the manager offered to remake it. honestly, I didn't think it was terrible just different. I would definitely go back. so far I'm not having any issues to think of cross contamination.
400 Commons Way, Bridgewater, NJ 08807
Hate to rate it 3 stars but CPK knows they need to expand the gluten free menu. I have had the gluten free pizza which was good, nothing will ever beat a regular pie though. As always friendly and polite staff. Hoping this drives CPK to expand the menu.
470 Mall Boulevard, King of Prussia, PA 19406
CD friendly! Awesome pizza. Friendly crew!
1202 Commons Drive, Geneva, IL 60134
I have celiac & this is one of three go-to restaurants where I always feel safe. Many pizzas, never been sick. Trained staff & pizzas made in separate area.
1120 Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek, CA 94596
I have really severe celiac and any cross contamination will make me really sick. I talked to the manager and he made sure everything was done right. The pizza was great and glad I know I can come back!
210 Wilshire Blvd., Santa Monica, CA 90401
Pizzas are certified GF. All other item menus not necessarily safe for celiacs. But the pizzas are delicious. Wish they had GF beer.
551 Oak Brook Center, Oak Brook, IL 60523
We used to go here for their gluten free pizza. My 4 year old is celiac. We went today and they have pulled the GF pizza from the menu pending a review with GIG to make it better. Disappointing. We had to leave since the remaining GF options aren't really friendly for kids - basically salads. It will be good when the pizza is back, but not until then.
6301 North Point Pkwy, Alpharetta, GA 30022
We eat here a lot! I have celiac and I have NEVER gotten sick. The service is typically fantastic, the first couple of times we went in the manager came to the table and explained their gluten free procedures for the kitchen and everything. When we order to-go they always have my pizza box sealed with a gluten free sticker. Best gluten-free crust I have ever had.
4200 Fairfax Corner West Avenue, Fairfax, VA 22030
good pizza shop. gluten free crusts available. they normally skimp on toppings so it's worth 2$ extra to get a normally topped pizza. recommend the bbq chicken pizza. second visit with still no problems
118 Shawan Road, Hunt Valley, MD 21030
Great GF pizza!
24155 Laguna Hills Mall, Laguna Hills, CA 92653
the pizza crust is awful....try selmas in ladera ranch
6227 South State Street, Murray, UT 84107
This was a pretty decent place to eat out, but be aware that if you are celiac or gluten intolerant, you will be limited to a pizza menu with only four choices on it. Make sure and all four the special gluten free pizza menu as these are not shown on the regular menu. If you opt to order something other than a pizza, it will be an entree salad and they had four to choose from that sounded pretty good. I ended up with one of the gluten free pizzas and a wedge salad that was enjoyable. Update 12 hours later - here I am in agony from being glutened by eating here. Changing from four to two stars - no clue what caused it, but I can only guess the caution in meal preparation was not there. Wish people realized how sensitive one can be to gluten, but I suppose eating out is always a risk. Maybe better training for staff would drive this home.
4031 Hillsboro Pike, Nashville, TN 37215
Gf menu. Tasty pizza. I always tell them how sensitive I am and I have never had a problem.
2800 N Main Street #872, Santa Ana, CA 92705
has GF pizza, some salads and salmon on menu.
1120 Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek, CA 94596
The GF pizza was not the greatest. Tasted just like any other GF pizza I could get in the freezer aisle at the grocery store. They burnt it as well and said that's how they normally cook it. My daughter got the non GF cheese pizza and rated it a 4 out of 10. Can't say we would go back.
2284 Kalakaua Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96815
Only 3 options of pizza that are guaranteed GF, prepared separately with full GF items. Had the barbecue chicken pizza, tasty. I do not show symptoms, cannot guarantee.
1400 Willowbrook Mall, Wayne, NJ 07470
Their GF bbq chicken is awesome!!!!! Just like the original
1100 Del Monte Center, Monterey, CA 93940
Certified GF menu. Pizza was great. Manager brought it out. Cooked in its own kitchen. Our go to place. Have not got sick here yet.
3400 Las Vegas Blvd. South, Las Vegas, NV
Terrible California Pizza Kitchen location. No gluten free pizza offered at this location because the kitchen is "too small." There was a tiny note on the menu that I almost didn't notice that stated this, but it was after we had already sat down & we were starving so we stayed anyway. Had to have yet another salad. Slow service too.
2284 Kalakaua Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96815
Wonderful location. Great service. Pizza (as quoted by my son the GF pizza connoisseur) was absolutely fabulous. Both of us are celiac and sensitive and we are both just fine. I had the Cobb salad and pizza with him. Items are marked GF.
10001 Perkins Rowe, Baton Rouge, LA 70810
First visit ever to a California Pizza Kitchen. I called ahead and spoke to someone just to see if they acted as though they had a clue. The person who answered was very knowledgable. We asked for a gluten free menu when we were being seated. The regular menu did have some salads and such marked as gluten free. I asked our waiter if I needed to speak to the manager and he assured me he understood and could handle it. We had 2 gluten free pizzas. They were delicious and delivered by the manager. They both had gluten free toothpicks things in them to show they were gluten free. They were delicious! My celiac daughter had no issues. We will be back!
3101 PGA Blvd., L-21, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410
My go-to when I am craving pizza! Even my non-celiac daughter prefers the gf pizza over the regular. Let them know you are celiac and they are very careful and manger brings your pizza out separately.
53 Third Street, San Francisco, CA 94103
Celiac friendly and very accommodating to allergies (my daughter is nightshade and they prepared the GF food without).
1256 Old Country Road, Westbury, NY 11590
They don't have a separate gf oven and take no precautions to avoid cc...like enclosing the pizza in a gf oven safe bag...not celiac safe.
1450 Ala Moana Blvd., Honolulu, HI 96814
Crust tasted like cardboard. We had to send it back because it wasn't cooked in the middle. Three stars because we didn't get sick, but I've definitely had better pizza.
27500 Novi Road, Novi, MI 48377
Live their pizza! Awesome food and careful preparation!
4200 Fairfax Corner West Avenue, Fairfax, VA 22030
Very good service. Ask for the GF menu and they bring you a menu of the pizzas that are made in their dedicated kitchen. I ordered the Original BBQ Chicken Pizza. The server came out to let us know that the pizza got a little too crispy so they were making us a brand new pizza. When the pizza came out it was personally delivered by the manager on duty. It had the right amount of crispyness and tasted food. My mom and I ate the whole pizza and she's not GF!
4999 Old Orchard Center, Skokie, IL 60077
Ate here several times, most recently 8/3/16. Separate Gluten Free pizza menu with 4 different kinds. Also several gluten free salad options clearly marked on the main menu. Courteous staff.
6000 Glades Rd. #1230, Boca Raton, FL 33431
The food was delicious! Our server, Omar, was amazing! His wife has to eat gluten free so it was a great comfort knowing he really understands.
300 Monticello Avenue, #149, Norfolk, VA 23510
GF margarita pizza was delicious! Very happy girl!
10150 Stockdale Hwy., Bakersfield, CA 93311
I would give it five stars but you don't have a lot of options! The California Cobb salad is my favorite it's the only reason I go here
136 Boardwalk Place, Gaithersburg, MD 20878
I tried the gluten-free pizza, and their crust was the worst gluten-free crust I've ever eaten! It had the consistency of a soggy cracker. I ended up just eating the toppings off of the top. I was very disappointed because I enjoyed California Pizza Kitchen before I was diagnosed with Celiacs.
6000 Glades Rd. #1230, Boca Raton, FL 33431
They have a special gluten free menu. Care is taken to avoid cross contamination and our waitress, Cristin, was very knowledgeable about gluten and the menu items that my daughter could have. The gluten free pizza was delicious.
55 Fortune Drive, Ste. 600, Irvine, CA
Gluten Free pizza is good but expensive!!! Individual size pizza (and we had to get 3) starting at $16.00 for plain and up from there. Most places have gluten free pizza for between $10.00-$12.00 for same size. Would go if only option around due to cost.

Consumers cluck for more dark meat
- published_in
- News Stories
People still eat much more of the white meat, experts say. But the juicy and only slightly fattier dark meat has gained favor because of lower prices amid a still-weak economy, a growing immigrant population and the proliferation of chicken sausages that use dark meat.
Greeley-based Pilgrim's Pride, for one, has gradually increased sales of dark meat while reporting decreasing sales of breasts.
"Dark meat is making a run to begin to try to catch up (to white)," said Bill Roenigk, vice president and market economist for the National Chicken Council.
Producers traditionally have bred birds to have more breast than leg meat, so demand for legs has driven up their prices, Roenigk said.
Boneless, skinless thighs have caught up to the price of boneless, skinless breasts: Both cost around $1.35 a pound. Legs, while up, remain a more-affordable 50 cents per pound.
The recession has led consumers who would normally eat white meat to trade down, Stephen Koontz, associate professor and extension economist at Colorado State University, said in an e-mail.
Similar to the phenomenon of beef chucks and rounds seeing strong demand over steak cuts, some consumers have traded chicken breasts for legs.
"This can only be good news for chicken producers, who have had a pretty bad year," Koontz said.
Almost all of the breast meat produced in the United States is sold domestically, Roenigk said, but only about 60 percent of dark meat produced in the United States is sold here. Asian and Hispanic immigrants form a large market for dark meat, he said. Producers export the remaining 40 percent.
U.S. chicken producers in December exported the most chicken to Mexico and Russia, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Mexico imported nearly 97 million pounds while Russia received more than 59 million pounds.
Amid a recent trade agreement disruption between the United States and Russia, Roenigk said chicken producers have found other export markets.
Pilgrim's Pride has used the worldwide reach of its majority shareholder, Brazilian meat packer JBS S.A., to expand dark meat and whole-bird exports to the Middle East and Asia, the Wall Street Journal recently reported.
It also has devoted one of its U.S. processing plants to satisfying export orders, and though its first-quarter sales remained flat at $1.9 billion, sales to Mexico surged 12 percent.
Pilgrim's did not respond to requests for comment for this article, but it hinted at the value of dark meat to its bottom line in a first-quarter earnings statement last month.
The company, as well as the industry, must continue a shift toward valuing the "whole bird" and not relying on high breast-meat prices to bolster margins, Pilgrim's said.
The company suffered during fiscal year 2011, when it posted losses of $497 million. It blamed higher costs and volatility in grain prices.
"This quarter confirms our belief: The industry can be profitable even at varying grain price points given the right focus on discipline," CEO Bill Lovette said.
The agriculture department expects continued growth in exports this year. And if dark meat exports remain strong, leg prices could increase even more, the agriculture department said.
Regardless, everyone could pay more for chicken this year whether it's white or dark: The agriculture department forecasts higher overall prices for chicken and lower production.

PORTALES — If nothing else, the Eastern New Mexico University baseball team went out on a winning note Saturday at Greyhound Field.
Mired in a 10-game losing streak after dropping the opener of Saturday's season-ending Lone Star Conference South Division doubleheader to Texas A&M-Kingsville, the Greyhounds erased an early 4-0 deficit in the seven-inning nightcap and scratched out the winning run in the bottom of the seventh without hitting a ball out of the infield for a 6-5 victory.
Kingsville took the opener 8-5, scoring six times in the top of the fourth, and won three of four in the series.
The Javelinas (27-27, 10-10 South) scored an unearned run off closer Keith Balderaz on Cy Williams' two-out RBI single to center in the top of the seventh, making it 5-5. ENMU (20-34, 5-13) responded after Jonathon Marbury reached on an error and Matt Chavez beat out an infield hit to open the bottom half against Jeremy Heatley (2-3).
Another error, Kingsville's fourth of the game, loaded the bases. One out later, third baseman Derrick Kennedy beat out a potential double-play grounder as Marbury scored the winning run.
Kingsville manufactured two runs in the top of the first, then made it 4-0 an inning later on Chase Myrick's two-run single.
ENMU chipped away in the third with run-scoring singles from Clayton Young and Sean Cruce, and tied it in a two-run fourth when Marbury was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and Chavez drove in a run with a fielder's choice grounder. In the fifth, Young led off with a single, moved to third on a sacrifice and a groundout and scored on starter Josh Livingston's wild pitch.
Troy Vaughan pitched three scoreless innings in relief of starter Justin Sergeant to set up a save for Balderaz, but in the seventh a one-out throwing error by Kennedy on Chase Bockholt's grounder opened the door. Bockholt advanced to second on a foul-out to right and scored on Williams' single.
In the opener, the Hounds carried a 2-1 lead into the fourth when the Javs erupted against right-hander Evan Courteau (4-9). Kingsville twice worked double steals with the back-end runner stealing home.
Kingsville's Mario Gonzalez (3-7) went seven innings, allowing seven hits and four runs, three earned. Heatley pitched a perfect ninth for his sixth save.
ENMU's nine hits included a 3-for-4 performance by designated hitter Kelton Hayes, who delivered a pair of run-scoring singles.

|Title: Weighing; Feed and Swine Contractors
|Abstract: GIPSA is amending four existing scales and weighing regulations issued under the Packers and Stockyards Act to ensure that payments by live poultry and swine production contract growers are based on accurate weighing of both inputs and outputs. We propose to amend a regulation on scale tickets to reduce redundant wording and clarify weighing procedures. We propose to amend a regulation on reweighing to add swine contractors to the list of firms that must comply and to add feed to the list of items for which reweighing may be requested. We propose to amend two regulations on weighing livestock and poultry to add weighing processes for feed, to add a specific time limit for weighing poultry, and to add swine contractors to the list of firms that must comply with care and promptness requirements.

- A field investigation into the effects of progressive rainfall-induced soil seal and crust development on runoff and erosion rates: the impact of surface cover
- Author(s)
- Neave, Mel; Rayburg, Scott
- Abstract
- Surface crusts and seals can form from a variety of processes, both physical and biological, and have the potential to alter runoff and erosion, especially in regions with low vegetation covers. Despite the obvious links between seals and crusts these features have rarely been considered together. This study uses rainfall simulation experiments to investigate interrill soil crust and seal development in response to structural (or raindrop-impact-induced) and depositional (or runoff-induced) processes on a semiarid piedmont in southern New Mexico, USA, which has undergone substantive vegetation change (replacement of grasses by shrubs) over the last 100 years. The study design incorporates six double-paired runoff plots divided into four subplots, each of which was exposed to three rainfall simulation events. Crust development on these plots was assessed using penetration-resistance measurements while seal development was assessed using runoff coefficients. The penetration-resistance data indicate that subplots directly exposed to raindrop impacts (uncovered plots) have crusts that are ~40% stronger than those positioned beneath a mesh cover (covered plots) that intercepts the kinetic energy of the rainfall. The crusts exposed to raindrop-impacts increased in strength following each simulation, whereas the crusts on the covered surfaces reached a plateau after two events. Runoff data indicate that seal development does not directly mirror crust formation. Runoff coefficients increased after each rainfall simulation event but were not significantly different between the covered and uncovered plots. Rather, the presence of stone lags or litter on the soil surface influenced the relation between runoff and seal development. Sediment yields from uncovered surfaces exceeded those from covered surfaces, indicating that raindrop impacts contribute to the delivery of sediment into flows. The results of this study indicate that the loss of vegetation cover on the piedmont has increased the extent of surface crust and seal development but that those crusts may be playing an important role in mitigating erosion.

Doggone, that smarts!October 07,2013
Ijust learned about a new TV program on CBS called "Lucky Dog." The show features a gentleman named Brandon McMillan who trains dogs for television, movies and commercials. The premise of the series is that McMillan takes dogs from shelters, trains them, and then finds homes for them, resulting in some truly lucky dogs.
McMillan begins each episode by visiting animal shelters and interviewing potential dogs for the show. Once he finds one that is a good candidate for instruction, has clean credit and background checks, and is willing to sign an endorsement waiver — McMillan trains the dog and tries to find it a family.
My issue with "Lucky Dog" is this: There are probably a million dogs in shelters, and McMillan works with one per week. At this rate he is going to be older than Betty White before he gets to all of them. I think Mr. McMillan needs to pick up the pace a bit.
If it sounds like I am sucking up to the canine community, to be quite honest, I am. I have an ongoing campaign to get these amazing, smart, beautiful creatures to have compassion for me. As much as I enjoy dogs, they enjoy me even more. Unfortunately, they often express their love with their teeth.
When it comes to canines, I am Rodney Dangerfield. I get no respect. I have been bitten by dogs so many times that when I go for a swim air bubbles come out of my hands and legs.
The last time my body was used as a human chew toy occurred a few years ago when a "friend" asked me to deliver a few CDs to his house. This buddy was not going to be home, so he suggested I put the music on his porch.
When I arrived at the house I saw his "friendly" dog in the yard. In hindsight, I should have observed some warning signs such as the fact that the dog was unhitched, or that the soundtrack of "Jaws" was blaring from his doghouse as he sat and gnawed on a tire rim. Naïve as I was I went up to the porch anyway, dropped off the package and started to return to my car. At this point the dog positioned himself next to the vehicle, bared his teeth and did a quick transformation from Lassie to Cujo. Something told me he wasn't waiting to be complimented for his wonderful flossing habits.
We all handle stressful situations differently. For some reason known only to the ghost of Lorne Greene and my hairdresser, as I stared into the fiery eyes of my adversary I couldn't think of what to do, so I started singing the theme music to "Jeopardy" in a loud voice. (I'll take multiple puncture wounds for $50, Alex.) Whether the dog didn't like game shows or my questionable singing talents remains unclear; what is certain is that my reaction to his threat pushed the animal over the edge, and he lunged at me with open mandibles.
Thinking quickly, I turned my back to the dog, and he got a mouthful of my derriere. Fortunately, I was able to shake my booty, and when he let go I dove into the car. Astonished and bleeding, I went home to tend to my injuries.
The greatest humiliation came when I related this incident to my friend and he said that the dog, which was 91 years old in dog years, had never bitten anyone in his life. It was sort of like telling someone you just got back from the senior center where you had gotten pummeled by a pacifist geriatric.
For years I have been resigned to the fact that I must look like a 165-pound biscuit to dogs. While doing research on the "Lucky Dog" program I discovered some interesting news. Apparently I'm not the only person in the world whom mutts have been enjoying as an appetizer. More than 1 million people are bitten by dogs annually, and bite wounds account for 1 percent of all emergency room admissions, costing approximately $30 million in annual health care.
We need to ask ourselves why these dogs are so angry. Is it because we feed them the exact same food every day? Because we install doorknobs out of their reach? Because we never let them surf the Internet without supervision? It could be a combination of things. Whatever the reasons for their pent-up aggression, we should make an effort to rectify the situation, or else the cycle will continue indefinitely.
Until we solve this dilemma, I suggest, when it comes to canines, you watch your backside, keep your eyes on their teeth, and always remember: Even the friendliest dog might not like the "Jeopardy" theme.

The New Mexico Supreme Court has ordered a new trial for a Melrose man convicted in 2004 of homicide by vehicle.
A two-year prison sentence for Harry Downey, 75, of Melrose, has been vacated and a pretrial conference is scheduled 8:15 a.m. Jan. 26.
Downey was convicted in February 2004 for the July 13, 2001, crash that killed former Curry County employee Anna Beth Austin, who was executive assistant to the county manager.
District Attorney Matt Chandler said a key point of the 2004 case was that Downey's blood alcohol content wasn't tested until hours after the crash.
A witness in retrograde extrapolation — a mathematical process to determine toxicology levels — testified Downey was legally drunk at the time of the accident.
The defense, Chandler said, appealed on a claim the expert was not qualified to make such a conclusion. The Curry County court's ruling was upheld by the Court of Appeals but overturned by the Supreme Court.
Chandler feels confident a similar expert can be brought into the new trial.
The case was tried in Curry County in 2004, and was prosecuted by the 5th Judicial District to prevent conflicts of interest. Chandler, who was elected district attorney nine months later, is confident his office can handle the retrial.
Chandler said, "I was not privileged to have ever met (Austin), so in my opinion the conflict no longer exists."
A phone call placed to Hal Greig, Downey's attorney, was not immediately returned.
Downey's attorney filed an immediate appeal after sentencing and Downey has remained free on bond.

It's cool to think that the blue glow to the right of the video was either a portal or a scout orb, and that the alien is simply checking out the environment itself as opposed to a remote location. We do that, its called Recon. We've got satellites checking out other galaxies and can see through skyscrapers just to check on a political enemy's regularly scheduled toilet time, but it won't matter until an actual human like a super soldier gets into that building and sees the enemy for himself. Follow me here?The video is linked to references of Operation Prato (that means 'plate' in Portugese, aka the best aerodynamic shape for most craft), and the confidential personal draft of a murdered Capitan Hollanda being in the possession of the Brazilian Air Force. These can be found online, and if you can translate it you'll have a nice read. The skeptics insist that the good Captain went mad and did it all himself, the traveling, the interviews, the drawings, the photogrphic evidence... then comitted suicide because he didn't have proof. Typically historic of the world governing information management to do so, I say. We know that the best way to hide the truth is to make it into just another amusing movie.The alien and the orb in the (damnit) incomplete video may be a puppet and a flashlight, but when the Brazilian government officially released Operation Prato to the world (those who look for this info, anyway)... It gave this video credibility. I say that the reason the kids didn't freak at the alien's brazen ambivalence to the cameras is because of the plausible deniablility rampant in this day and age. Fake. Real. The beings with the power will do as they please, damn the lesser creatures. I get it with the latest Apple gadget being compared to my IBM compatible computer right now, so why not a technologically advanced alien race?Good post, ITC. I'm locked and loaded.

Ha!itscrazytime posted:10/23/2011 12:11:12 PM The critcism of this video, (not mine), is that the aliens head appears to be detached from his body. It was explained that it could be matrixing or pareidolia. The reaction of the children in the video is suspect, I know what my kids would have done. Honestly, I think I would have a hard time even continuing to hold the camera and keep filming. Personally, aliens scare the crap out of me for the exact reason that they COULD do what they want. If David Eckhart is to be believed, I would HATE to have any alien focusing on me! Lets also not forget this infamous video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzJeBGe05bc. Not only did it APPEAR obviously fake...the treachery was even admitted to on Fact or Faked. ***Damn you fakers!!!***, (shaking my fist) Who knows, it was enough to make the national news. I was able to translate your link through Google Chrome...(how do I love thee?)...and it is a pretty interesting read. As for the video with the added story, who knows. It's enough for me to wonder.

Still Making History
For over 75 years, Suffolk Downs has been a place where people from all walks of life are welcome. Millions of fans have walked through the turnstiles and thousands of hard-working men and women have earned their living at the track as employees. In a city steeped in history, Suffolk Downs maintains a significant spot in Boston's rich heritage.
When the Commonwealth of Massachusetts created the State Racing Commission in 1934 and legalized pari-mutuel wagering, the Eastern Racing Association wasted no time in constructing the state's first Thoroughbred racetrack, which it named Suffolk Downs. Among the directors of the Eastern Racing Association was Charles F. Adams, founder and president of the Boston Bruins.
The group secured roughly 200 acres of mud flats in East Boston and Revere and contracted A.G. Tomasello & Son to transform the property into one of the finest racing facilities in the country. Leading the project was Joseph A. Tomasello, who employed over 3,000 laborers, including 900 carpenters, 200 electricians and plumbers and 100 plasterers. They were assisted by 638 trucks, 36 bulldozers and 24 power shovels.
The project was completed in an amazing 62 days, at the cost of approximately $2 million. The nation's first concrete grandstand seated 16,000, making it the biggest grandstand in the country as well. The clubhouse accommodated 5,000, reported to be the largest in the world. The grandstand and clubhouse were separated by an area that included a path from the paddock to the track.
Out of the Gate
On July 10, 1935, the track opened its doors and over 35,000 people walked through them to watch and wager on the eight-race program. Thoroughbred racing in Massachusetts had arrived.
Later in its inaugural year, the track began its greatest tradition, the Massachusetts Handicap. Boasting substantial purse money, the MassCap immediately attracted some of racing's biggest names. Hall of Fame jockey George Woolf rode Top Row to victory in the first MassCap. In 1937, the track welcomed the legendary Seabiscuit for the third running of the MassCap. Seabiscuit and jockey Johnny "Red" Pollard did not disappoint the throng of over 40,000 that was present to see them, winning the race in record time. Over the years, the MassCap has continued to be a stage for Thoroughbred racing's top performers as the track has played host to Hall of Famers both equine and human.
Immediately the track became entrenched into the city's sporting and social fabric, attracting an average daily attendance of nearly 15,000 in its first year, a figure that peaked at 18,388 in 1945. Interest in racing was so high that the daily double payoff was frequently posted in large print across the very top of the front page of the Boston Globe. Average attendance remained five figures until the early 1970s, when the racing schedule was drastically expanded to as many as 200 days a year.
Changing with the Times
After roughly a quarter-century, the track underwent its first significant renovation in the early 1960s when the open-air grandstand was enclosed and the appearance of the clubhouse entrance was drastically changed. The grandstand and clubhouse were joined together and a new paddock and walking ring was constructed between the track and the grandstand.
On August 18, 1966, the Beatles took the stage for an historic performance, one of their last official concerts as a group. Over 25,000 fans packed the track to witness what would prove to be the Beatles' final Boston appearance.
Further changes, both cosmetic and philosophical, were realized from 1969-70 when the innovative Bill Veeck served as track president. In addition to making physical improvements in the box seating area, Veeck, who is enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame for his accomplishments as a pioneering baseball owner, brought his promotional genius to the racetrack, where he gained publicity with chariot races and livestock giveaways, among other things.
The track enjoyed one of its finest moments in 1987, when hometown heroes Waquoit and jockey Chris McCarron prevailed in one of the most thrilling finishes in MassCap history, defeating Broad Brush and Angel Cordero. Unfortunately, just two years later, the track suffered one of its darkest days when it closed for two years at the conclusion of the 1989 racing season.
The track was soon brought back to life, reopening in 1992 under the direction of Sterling Suffolk Racecourse LLC, led by chairman James B. Moseley and president John Hall II. Prior to reopening, a new round of improvements was made, including the restoration of the clubhouse façade to its original form. Just three years later, the track continued its revival, renewing the MassCap, which hadn't been held since 1989. The MassCap returned in grand style, as Champion Cigar and Hall of Fame jockey Jerry Bailey graced the track for consecutive victories in the signature race in 1995 and '96, on the way to Cigar's record-tying 16-race win streak.
Beyond the Track
The track expanded its community reach in 1998, becoming the home of the Hot Dog Safari, a benefit for the Joey Fund and Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The end of the 20th century also saw the reintroduction of concerts to the track, a tradition that includes appearances by Aerosmith and Elvis Costello in addition to the historic Beatles show. The 21st century welcomed another cultural attraction to the track, the world-renowned Cirque du Soleil, and an additional charitable event, the Greater Boston Walk Now for Autism.
The publication of "Seabiscuit: An American Legend" by Laura Hillenbrand in 2001 and the subsequent release of the movie "Seabiscuit" in 2003 renewed interest in the track's rich history. In 2004, the horse that many labeled a modern-day Seabiscuit for his improbable success story, Funny Cide, thrilled an appreciative crowd with his appearance in the 64th MassCap.
Taking the Lead
In the spring of 2007, developer Richard T. Fields joined local entrepreneur Joe O'Donnell in a partnership committed to Thoroughbred racing and the long-term future of Suffolk Downs. In September of 2007, a crowd of 19,191 – the largest at the track since 1996 – gathered to celebrate the return of the MassCap after a two-year absence.
A trusted community partner since first opening its doors, the track has celebrated individuals and organizations that make a positive difference in its surrounding communities through its "Commitment to Community" program.
Suffolk Downs has demonstrated a commitment to the lifetime care of Thoroughbreds once their racing careers are over, becoming the first racetrack in the country to implement a strict anti-slaughter policy for owners and trainers with horses stabled on its grounds. Virtually every major racetrack in America has since adopted a similar stance. In November of 2009, Suffolk Downs, the Fields Family Foundation and the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation established a home or retired racehorses at the Plymouth County Sheriff's Farm in Plymouth, MA, where inmates from the Plymouth County Correctional Facility will care for the horses as part of the facility's extensive vocational program.
Suffolk Downs has undergone many changes over the years, but just as it was in 1935, it remains a vision of hope for a brighter future infused with the pilgrim spirit of hope, pride, and determination that it was built upon.

No thank youSeptember 27,2013
No thank you
Not to use The Times Argus as a debate forum, but I feel I must answer Walter Carpenters response (Sept. 23) to my letter regarding single-payer health care.
Weve just recently seen the product of government involvement in health care decisions in the case of Sarah Murnaghan, who had to fight Kathleen Sebelius to get the adult lung that her doctor wanted to use. Yet, Mr. Carpenter is all to willing to allow the government more involvement in his health care decisions. With all due respect, I find that to be foolish.
As to Mr. Carpenters examples of public services that benefit society, emergency services (fire, rescue, police) are certainly a benefit. I would consider these to be examples of infrastructure and a very good use of tax dollars. Public schools, on the other hand, are a perfect example of what the government cant get right. We are now ranked somewhere around 17th, I believe, in the world. How can this be? A perfect example of bureaucracy run amok.
Medicare is bankrupt. It has been for years, again due to government promises that it has no means to keep. Fact is, the average Medicare recipient will receive three times the benefits they paid for ($180,000 in benefits used, compared to $61,000 in contributions, to be exact, for the average man). This is the error in believing all the promises that politicians make to win votes. It has been going on for generations now, and is more and more accepted as more and more people become disengaged and misinformed.
Im not arguing seniors shouldnt get what they paid for; they certainly should. But the socialist benefits started by FDR have never been managed to be sustainable.
As Ive said before, facts and numbers dont lie only politicians do. If any of these programs were truly as wonderful as the government claims, then why arent they voluntary? Forcing a supposedly free citizen into any of these programs is nothing short of pure tyranny. And no, thank you was the nice way of putting it.

A deadly virus is killing baby pigs nationwide, raising concerns about the price of pork in months to come. But Ohio Department of Agriculture scientists have made a discovery that may lead to a vaccine to fight the disease.
Led by virologist Yan Zhang, the scientists identified and sequenced the genes of a virus strain associated with porcine epidemic diarrhea. It can sicken older pigs but is often deadly to pigs younger than 3 weeks.
Scientists at the state's Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory in Reynoldsburg hope information about the new virus strain can be used to develop an oral vaccine that protects infant pigs through their mothers' milk.
"If we can get these baby pigs past 10 days, we can save a lot of those pigs," said Dr. Tony Forshey, state veterinarian, during a news conference at the Ohio Pork Congress in Columbus this week.
The PED virus is not a threat to other animals, humans or the food supply, according to the National Pork Board. The virus is nearly identical to one that affected pigs in China in 2012.
The virus has caused untold losses for pork producers in 23 states, including Ohio, since April, the National Animal Health Laboratory Network reports. Forshey said there is no way yet to estimate economic losses in Ohio or the nation.
Uncertainty about the potential effects of the virus on the U.S. pork supply has caused a spike in commodity prices since mid-December, when reported virus cases jumped 40 percent in one week.
Lean-hog futures for June delivery rose 6 percent in that time, hitting a high of $1.05 per pound Monday and Tuesday on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
Rising pork prices contributed to New Albany-based sausage maker Bob Evans Farms' decision to reduce its fiscal 2014 earnings expectations. It reported that sow costs averaged 24 percent higher in the quarter that ended Jan. 24 compared with the previous quarter, the company said.
The virus also has been tough on Ohio pork producers.
"It's the worst thing I've ever seen," said Don Isler, a longtime pork producer from Marion County who attended the Ohio Pork Congress. "It's bad when you don't have control over something so devastating."
Losing piglets can quickly add up to an economic burden for producers.
"It's going to wreak havoc with a lot of our farms," said Dick Isler, executive vice president of the Ohio Pork Producers Council and Don Isler's brother.
The U.S. Agriculture Department "says we have 3,700 farms in Ohio that have pigs. That's the third-most in the United States," Dick Isler said. "We produce 4 million pigs a year."
Pork production contributes more than
$650 million to the state's economy every year, veterinarian Forshey said.
Most producers take extraordinary steps to keep their animals — and the food supply — safe, including requiring haulers to wear disposable boots and coveralls to keep contaminated fecal material away from the animals.
Ohio State University virologists Linda Saif and Qiuhong Wang, among others, have been working with Zhang to find a way to test for and trace the disease, which causes vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration.
It is unlikely the new virus strain would have been detected this early in the disease without the work of Zhang and his colleagues, said Dr. Beverly Byrum, director of the Animal Disease Diagnostic Lab in Reynoldsburg.
The lab's discovery will give diagnosticians another tool to identify PED cases and is the only one nationwide that can test for all three virus strains related to the deadly disease, Byrum said.
Working with collaborators, Zhang and his colleagues hope to find the right medium for the hard-to-grow virus and then to test it in a vaccine.
If all goes well — a process that could take months — the Ohio scientists likely will hand off the vaccine to a commercial developer, Zhang said.

If I said to you "Sacco," you'd be likely to respond in one of two ways: "Sock-what?" or "Vanzetti!" To the first, I would repeat myself; to the second, I would tell you that, although Michael Dukakis has proclaimed "that any stigma and disgrace should be forever removed" from those two names, that's not what I meant anyway. I was referring (I would tell you) to the first beanbag chair, released in 1968 by an Italian company, and called "Sacco" (which probably means something very like "sack"). In 2000, talented Finnish designer Jukka Setälä introduced the newest--and possibly the largest--of Sacco's spawn: the Fatboy. Soon the Fatboy, like an autumn salmon, returned to its home and multiplied, so that Setälä's company now offers four models of beanbag furniture. What truly sets these pieces apart from other beanbags (more than just their size) is their versatility. While a normal beanbag very nearly lets you do quite a few things almost comfortably, Fatboys, thanks to their defined shapes, are genuinely useful as multiple kinds of furniture. Whatever your fitness magazines may tell you, we say it's always good to have a Fatboy around the house.

Small dairy farmers in Sullivan County, like dairy farmers across the country, are searching for ways to survive. With milk prices fluctuating wildly from year to year, and the swings driving many small dairies out of business, it's easy to imagine the remaining dairy farms in Sullivan County will be gone in a couple of years.
Against that backdrop, about a dozen dairy farmers, and other types of farmers, met at Apple Pond Farm on December 31 to listen to a presentation from a farmer and inventor from Maryland, Frank Kipe, who builds and installs micro dairy systems around the country and overseas.
Kipe explained that his initial plan was to own two jersey cows and produce and sell "the most expensive ice cream in the country." But the cost of the necessary equipment would have run about $250,000, which proved to be too steep a barrier.
So Kipe set about designing and manufacturing micro-scale dairy equipment, which he has installed on about 100 farms in the last four years.
With an easy smile and a smooth delivery, Kipe pitched his products for nearly two hours. "We want to lower the cost of success and the cost of failure," he said, "We've got people making a good living on 10 goats."
The heart of his pitch was this: "We have a complete system, which is our 22-gallon pasteurizer, with the chiller so that you can use it as a bulk tank. You can also use it to cool milk, after you've pasteurized; it works as a cheese vat, a yogurt vat. It includes the bottle filler and all the legal thermometers that you need, as well as the sanitary milk pump, and the complete system is $12,900."
One of Kipe's main points was that micro dairies need to be market driven, that is, to provide customers with what they want, and producers need to spend a good amount of time marketing their products to stores or in farm markets or wherever.
That might present a high hurdle for some local farmers. Stefan Geiger, a dairy farmer from Jeffersonville, said the production would probably be easy to handle, but the marketing might present a challenge. Kipe advised that picking a product that you enjoy will make it easier to market.
Evelyn Weissman said that the risk to get a microcreamery started might be too great. If the venture failed, she said, she might lose her farm in Callicoon Center.
Mary Tonjes, who has been making cheese on her farm for several years, said if farmers are considering entering the artisan cheese, yogurt and other dairy products market, now is the time to do so, because demand from the public is very high.
Asked if she had it to do over again, would she make the same decision to go into cheese making, Tonjes said, "Yes, because I can make a living at it."
The micro-dairy movement is a trend that is growing across the state. According to the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, the number of small dairy operations in the state has jumped about 100% in the past two years with the total at about 80.

New Spring Styles
With the clocks now sprung forward, the calendar officially saying spring, and the snow gone, baseball really is right around the corner. The dawning of a new season is very close.
Spring brings so many good things aside from baseball. I always look forward to the new spring styles in fashion. I've noticed several Yankees sporting some new styles this spring. Some I like, and some….ermm…not so much.
– The New Slender Sabathia
Well, more slender than before. Coming off knee surgery, CC decided it would be beneficial to drop a few pounds before the season. He accomplished his goal and lost around 30 pounds. I think Sabathia looks fabulous.
And not only does he look good – CC might even pitch better now that he won't have that extra stress on his knees.
I like this new CC, but I sort of miss the old one…I mean can I still call him nicknames? Like my Hefty-Lefty, or CC my Chocolate Chunk? His belly was cute, especially since he pitched so well with it.
Look at him…trying to find his old belly and failing. But I guess I shouldn't be too down. He's smiling here – he has embraced his new slender(er) self. I can still call him cute names if I want.
Oh, and that picture just reminded me of a new style that I DISLIKE:
– Sergio Mitre's New Uni
Mitre was having himself a pretty solid spring, but the Yankees traded him anyways, explaining that they felt they had a "surplus" of pitching (which I think you can never have). I loved Sergio Mitre and I feel bad for him. But what's done is done.
In the trade, the Yanks got Chris Dickerson, an outfielder. In his Yankees debut in the game today, he went 3-3. I wish him luck.
And of course, Dickerson will look better in a Yankee uniform.
– Joba Chamberlain's New Hairstyle
Brian Cashman didn't want to discuss Joba's weight GAIN, so I'll refrain from that. I will just note that I think his body looks good…he doesn't look fatter, but rather he appears stronger. So that's nice.
But the hair…it sticks out of his cap. It's long, curly, it's…it's almost resembles the Phil Hughes hair of a few years ago!
Okay…I'm not too fond of this messy look, but it worked for Hughes. If it works for Joba, I might learn to really like this look.
–Mariano Rivera's High Socks
Yes, yes, YESSSS!!!! This is my FAVORITE new style of the spring, and I hope he continues to wear it into the season. God, he looks awesome. I wonder why he didn't try this earlier. High socks make every player look better. It made A-Rod look better.
Speaking of A-Rod, I don't know what's up with him…
– A-Rod's Stuffed Face
It's a little unflattering to say the least.
Every time he's at-bat, Alex stuffs handfuls of sunflower seeds into his mouth, and stores them in his cheek, chewing and spitting every few seconds. It looks ridiculous. I don't know how he can possibly play like that without choking himself.
Who am I kidding, right? Pshh…"how can he play like that…" A-Rod is having an AMAZING spring! He's hit like 6 home runs, and the one I saw today went about 440 feet to dead centerfield. He's a beast!
Alex, if you wanna stuff your face, that's fine. Just keep hitting!
Overall, I think my Yankees look very very good…aesthetically, of course. But baseball-wise as well. I think it's going to be a fun season. I can't wait for it to begin!

Hahahaha! great entry, Virginia. Love it. I know you're bummed about Sergio, but I think it was time for him to go. Hopefully Kevin Millwood fill his void. Totally agree with you about everything else. Slim CC, Joba's hair, Mo's socks, and A-Rod's, well, snuflower obsession. hey if it worls and they play well, I'm all for it. Opening Day's right around the corner!!!!! Exciting!!!! Go Yankees!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spring is here? Snow is gone? You wouldn't know it up here in Michigan's U.P. I can't believe I'll be at a game two weeks from today, but maybe it'll be warmer down state. Enjoy the rest of the 161 games.
'Minoring In Baseball'
Great post!!!! I hope Rivera has a great year. Dig the socks!!!
—Mark Gauthier
Looks like Joba and Evan Longoria might have met up this offseason and went to a salon and accidently got the same perm action…Not sure if the wavys and curls will make him seem like a kinder, gentlier Joba. Maybe he has a Samson complex, and that is why his pitching seems….demure compared to the past.
I really do not understand Cashman some times. You never have enough pitching, but if Mitre was out of minor league options, it might of been a necessary move. I see you guys are beginning to see the"Bad Santa" side of Soriano…..Good Luck with that.
Rays Renegade
Great observations!!!! The Yankees look ready to go, except for Granderson. It's going to be a fun year in the AL East.

Drinking Dangers
By Health Day
Approximately 30 percent of the U.S. population is affected by alcohol misuse. Alcohol misuse is now the third leading cause of preventable death in the U.S.after smoking and obesity. Two shocking statistics that the United States Preventive Services Task Force wants to help turn around.The Task Force is out with brand new recommendations on how health care professionals should screen for dangerous drinking. The new recommendations suggest that all adults, 18 and over, including pregnant women, be screened for alcohol misuse and that clinicians provide behavioral counseling to patients who engage in risky behavior with alcohol. Brief 10 to 15 minute interventions with follow-up support from a health educator have been shown to be effective.
The Task Force did not go as far as to suggest screenings for adolescents 12 to 17 years old. While acknowledging teen alcohol use is a serious problem, they concluded that there wasn't enough evidence that screening and behavioral counseling in this age group is effective in the long-term.
