Sony Alpha 7S Review - The Sony Alpha 7S is the latest addition to Sony's growing range of full frame CSCs, featuring an impressive ISO range of 50-409,600. Does it manage to surpass image quality heights seen in its stablemate? Find out in our full Alpha 7S review...
Sony Alpha 7S Review
Obviously the 36.3 million-pixel sensor of the A7R, with no anti-aliasing filter, is aimed at those landscape, studio, still-life and macro photographers who demand the ultimate image quality. The A7 has a lower 24-million-pixel resolution, but uses faster phase detection autofocus, so is more capable of photographing moving subjects – it is much more of an 'all-rounder'.
And now the new Sony Alpha 7S has a 12.2-million-pixel sensor, but with a maximum sensitivity of ISO 409,600, which can only be matched by the 16.2-million-pixel sensor in the Nikon D4S.
With Sony promising excellent noise control, an impressive dynamic range, all combined with the extremely high sensitivity, the A7S would seem ideally suited those who need to get the shot, regardless of how challenging the lighting may be.
Sony A7S Review – Features
Obviously the defining feature of the A7S is without doubt the 12.2-million-pixel full-frame CMOS sensor. The new sensor is gapless, meaning that there is no space between the light-gathering photodiodes, which maximises their size and the light photons captured.
For photographers this equates to less noise and a better dynamic range, compared to a comparable sensor with a gap between the photo sites. It's partly this design and the benefits that it offers, which enable the impressive ISO 100-409,600 sensitivity range.
We have seen many of the features of the A7S before in the A7 and
A7R, including the excellent Wi-Fi connectivity, which can be started
via touching and NFC device to the NFC target on the camera.
LCD screen
On the rear of the camera sits the same LCD screen as seen on the other models. The unit is of the tiltable variety, is 3in in size and features a resolution of 921k-dots, which is a little below the highest resolution on the market.
The good news is that this LCD screen is once again paired with an impressive EVF. The viewfinder itself measures in at 1/2in and sports an impressive 2.4m-dot resolution, covering a 100% field of view and delivering shooting info display and histogram referral should it be required, as well as manual brightness adjustment.
Sony Alpha 7S Review – Design
Little has changed in the build of the A7 range, and the A7S features the same magnesium alloy body as the A7R.
The use of two control dials and a rear scroll wheel make the camera quite quick to operate, as the quick menu allows most of the major image and shooting settings to be just a click away. The system works well, though perhaps it doesn't have quite the finesse of the Fujifilm X-T1.
One new addition that many will be pleased to hear about is the Silent Shooting mode. Previously the mechanical shutter of the A7 and A7R has been criticised for being noisy, especially when you consider that there is no mirror mechanism.
Shutter alterations
The new electronic shutter mode in the A7S is completely silent. Switch off the AF beep and no one would know you are taking an image. Obviously this type of electronic shutter isn't ideal for all subjects. As the readout doesn't happen at exactly the same time across the sensor, there can be a slight distortion when photographing moving subjects.
However, for wedding photographers, or those who photograph theatre productions or games of chess, this new mode should be a real benefit. Wildlife photographers also will like the fact that a nearby animal won't be warned off by the sound of the shutter.
Sony Alpha 7S Review – Performance
A camera launch doesn't seem to pass these days without someone asking 'does the camera shoot 4K video?'. The Alpha 7S does, but with a caveat that it must be recorded from the camera to an external recorder via the disk drive.
For professional videographers this shouldn't be too much of an issue, but for the hobbyist you can't help but feel that Sony has missed a trick, especially since it produces an excellent range of 4K Handycams.
Still the 1920×1080 60p 28Mbps HD video capture should serve those dabbling with video very well, especially considering the extremely high sensitivity settings, external microphone socket and the shallow depth of field that the large sensor helps to facilitate.
I got up early one morning to shoot some video at sunrise and found that the ISO 12,800 was perfectly useable. Those who may not have, or want to, lug huge lights around for film-making will no doubt love the ability to shoot at high sensitivities, without the worry that the footage will be too noisy to use or that it will require a lot of post-processing.
Stills capture
As for shooting still images, the A7S, once again, is similar to the A7 and A7R. The 1,200 segment metering produces pleasing exposures, generally prioritising the mid-tones when in evaluative mode.
Colours look good in the various JPEG modes, and while the resolution obviously can't match the 36.3-million-pixel A7R for detail, its high sensitivity performance is quite incredible, even more so when you compare the price of the A7S with the Nikon D4S.
One point of interest is the use of contrast detection in the A7R, rather than the hybrid on-sensor phase/contrast detection system of the A7.
With an extremely sensitive sensor Sony claim that with an f/2 lens, the camera is sensitive down to -4EV, though I have to say I didn't find it that fast. It was slow, or sluggish, but it did just lack the snap that we have started to get used to in other compact system cameras, notably Panasonic.
Sony Alpha 7S Review – Image Quality
With a 12.2-million-pixel sensor you wouldn't expect to resolve a spectacular amount of detail, and indeed it doesn't.
At ISO 100 the A7S reaches around 24 lines per mm in our resolution chart lab testing, which is exactly what you would expect for a camera of its resolution.
With such good control of noise the resolution doesn't drop as the sensitivity increases.
Dynamic Range
At ISO 50, we found that the A7S has a dynamic range of 13.26EV, which makes it around 0.5EV better than the 12.75EV that Nikon D4S recorded a few months ago.
At ISO 200 and 400, the dynamic range of both cameras is virtually identical. What this means in practice is that the 12.2-million-pixel, full-frame sensor is able to recover a great amount of detail in highlights, particularly in shadow areas.
Combined with the high sensitivity range it really is able to see in the dark.
Obviously the extreme sensitivities are noisy, with plenty of luminance and colour noise on show. However it is the more 'reasonable' sensitivities of ISO 6,400, 12,800 and 25,600 where the A7S really shows what it can do. These sensitivities are as usable as ISO 1,600, 3,200 and 6,400 in other full-frame cameras.
Sony Alpha 7S Review – Verdict
Usually you would expect a camera with such a high sensitivity range to be the preserve of professional sports or wildlife photographers, or photojournalists, but since the AF speed or shooting rate is not quite fast enough for serious sports or wildlife photographers, the A7S won't really appeal to this market.
Instead, what it offers is the chance for the enthusiast photographer to have the high sensitivity settings of a professional camera. We often hear that resolutions are too high and that dynamic range and better noise is preferable, and to those photographers, this just what the A7S provides.
Videographers can also get in on the act, and while the 4K option does require an off-camera recorder, to those that want the advantage of a full-frame camera with impressive noise control and high sensitivities, the Sony A7S is a great option.
However, if you don't require the high ISO settings, or perhaps the resolution isn't enough, then the A7S isn't for you. You would be better served by the A7 or A7R respectively.
It is great that Sony has quickly built a range of cameras to cater for the needs of different photographers. All that is now needed is a few more lenses to grow the system further.

U.S. forces found and killed the al-Qaida leader in the affluent Pakistani town of Abbottabad, where he had been living in a large compound.
Move over Orlando, here comes Abbottabad.
Pakistan's tourism officials have announced plans to build a $30 million amusement park on the outskirts of the Himalayan foothills town that gained worldwide attention as the place where U.S. Navy SEALs killed Osama bin Laden.
The 50-acre site will include a zoo, restaurants, water sports, miniature golf as well as rock climbing and paragliding, officials said.
Officials in north Kyber Pakhtunkwa province denied to Sky News that the project was a way to improve the town's image after the bin Laden raid, saying the goal is simply to boost tourism.
"This project has nothing to do with Osama bin Laden," Syed Aqil Shah, the provincial minister for tourism and sports, told Sky News.
Jamaluddin Khan, the deputy provincial minister for tourism, told Reuters the project will take five years to complete, with work beginning in late February or early March.
U.S. forces killed the al-Qaida leader and director of the 9/11 attacks in a daring raid on his hideout in May 2011. The large white villa is not far from an elite Pakistani military academy. The villa was demolished in 2012.
Some people have suggested that the government should build a public park on the land where the compound once stood, Reuters reported, though that idea was rejected because it might be dubbed "Osama Park."
According to the Pakistan tourism ministry's website, Abbottabad is a popular summer resort area and a gateway to mountain adventures.
"It is a charming town spread out over several low, refreshingly cool and green hills," the site reads.

Armenian Genocide Fight Once Again Returns to the United States
Today Turkey, Turkish-Americans, Armenia, and Armenian-Americans are locked in a battle over House Resolution 252 which is a non-binding resolution calling on President Obama to formally call the mass killings "genocide." Armenian-American groups are campaigning hard with ads and websites denouncing Turkish denial and Turkish-American lobbying efforts. Pro-Turkish responded by saying to call the killings "genocide" would harm relations with Turkey, that the Armenian ads are disrespectful, and by pointing out that there were/are Armenian terrorists.
The debate over "genocide" is one that the Turks have made worse by their repeated denials that anything happened, stating everyone suffered during the time in question, and by some locals oddly saying they have no idea of what happened to the Armenians because they all left on their own accord and did not tell the Turkish authorities where they went. Armenians have gone from "depressed-angry" because of the genocide to "bloodlust" because of Turkish denials. A diaspora group called the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) became the first international terrorist organization that was active in multiple theaters (rather than active in one country while merely fundraising in others like Irish republican groups). Today the ARF in Armenia is a socialist political party in the ruling coalition, the third-largest party and one time militant faction in the breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh Republic which was involved in ethnic cleansing of Azeri Turks, and a member of the March 7th political alliance with Hezbollah in Lebanon (there have been reports that Hezbollah is intimidated by the ARF and will not enter Armenian villages). Internationally, the ARF is expansionist demanding much of the former ethnic Armenian territory be combined into a Greater Armenia.
Some feel that America needs to recognize the genocide to prevent others and close the sad chapter in history. Others state that America has no business in getting involved in a 100 year old historical battle between foreigners when more pressing issues are at hand. Many presidential candidates, including then Senator Obama, vowed to recognize the killings as genocide but other considerations such as Turkish-American relations have stopped any campaign pledge from becoming reality (though President Ronald Reagan described the killings as genocide in a proclamation). And thus the battle over history goes on and on as Armenian history diehards battle Turkish nationalist diehards while both sides attempt to get the United States, forty-three American states, and other countries involved.

All Turks, except the most extreme of the extreme nationalists, recognize that there were large scale massacres of Armenians during and right after World War I. The reason that the word genocide sticks in the throat is because we were victims of the exact same massacres in those times. Something like ten percent of all Turks are decendants of the survivors of violent anti-Muslim, anti-Turkish pogroms that took place from 1850 until the First World War in the Balkans and the Caucasus. We don't understand why Turkey should be shamed, when Serbia, Bulgaria, Armenia, and Russia are not called out on what they did to their minorities.
Let us remember 100 years ago the land that is now the Republic of Armenia was 70 percent Turkish. Where did those Turks go?

A similar race-based decolonization occurred in the transition from the Empire of the Great Qing to the Chinese Republic. History can be so terrible. :-(

This peptide is histone H3 (1-21) with asymmetrical dimethylation at Arg2 and phosphorylation at Thr3, followed by a C-terminal GGK with biotinylation on the side chain of Lys. Asymmetrical dimethylation at Arg2 inhibits Lys 4 methylation and is associated with silenced chromatin. Phosphorylation of Thr3 begins in mitotic prophase and reverses in anaphase. This process is carried out by haspin in vitro. Provided at >95% peptide purity, this peptide was dissolved in distilled water at 1 mg/ml and re-lyophilized to powder form.

A tasty complement to traditional grass hay.
Alfalfa is a legume forage hay that is referred to as the "queen of forages." It
differs from grass hays such as timothy orchard, oat, and brome in the leaf,
stem, and root structure. This creates higher protein, calcium, and energy
content in alfalfa hay. A great way to encourage sick or older pets to eat.

We've run out of boys names!
We hadn't expected that we'd be naming another kiddo, but we are & seem to be out of practice with this naming thing (youngest is 5, a MUCH bigger gap than we've had before and very much a surprise!). Big brothers are Francis Grover, Henry Linus & Philip Judah (Frankie, Huck and Flip), so we would like a more classic full name with a shorter, quirkier nickname. We don't know the sex yet, but if it's a girl we've got that one down pat. I've been lurking on here for a while now and haven't found anything that sticks out, so I'm losing hope that we'll ever find a name! Give us anything you've got, we're desperate (and running out of time!)!

Charles "Chuck"! My husband just suggested Benjamin to me, and while I do love the name I'm not so keen on Benji... Any other nickname suggestions for it?
Our girls name is between Maeve Elisa, Louisa Maeve, and Maeve Louisa. Still can't decide, but Maeve will definitely be in there somewhere.
Edit: Oops, forgot Sylvia Maeve "Sylvie", which is also in the running for a girl!

Trying to train my pups--They dragged me EVERYWHERE. I have no idea exactly how these harnesses work so very well, but they do! It's nothing short of AMAZING!!! They don't mind them at all--And NO MORE PULLING!!! HIGHLY recommended!!!
"Great fit"
Love the way it snaps on. Great for dogs that are "funny" about stepping into harnesses. Very sturdy. Don't hesitate to purchase.
"Love Easy Walk Harnesses"
We have an Easy Walk harness for our 1 yr old yellow lab. She pulled so hard with a regular collar I was afraid she would hurt her throat. We now have another 14 week old lab and bought this one immediately for him. I wish I had gotten one for her when she was tiny. I will have no problem buying another when he grows out of this one.
"Love it!!"
I swear by these harnesses... they are my go to when leash training a dog!
"not for bulldogs"
I ordered this harness for my bulldog but was very disappointed. It does not work on this breed. Not quite sure if it's the build of the breed but every way we tried, it would not work out.
"Best walking harness"
I have used chain choke collars, Aussie leashes, under looping harnesses and even walk off leash. I put this on my puppy who was out of control and gagging on the choke styles and he was suddenly a different dog. Training took no time and we were healing and walking like a breeze. The front lead is brilliant and keeps him right beside me as we walk. Now to train my 9 year old kid to walk him.
"Great harness!"
My brother got one of these for his Jack Russell/Corgi mutt who had an incredibly bad habit of pulling on the leash. The dog pulled once on this harness and never has since! I'm considering getting one for my dog too.
"Easy Walk"
I purchased this product for my labradoodle. He has had a history of getting very excited by wildlife and can drag me with a conventional collar and leash. The Easy Walk keeps him along my side, without choking him and without me having my arm wrenched. The leash and harness are very sturdy and well constructed. A very good value for the money and comfort of walking an otherwise unruly dog. :-)

Phi Beta Delta, CASE to present lecture on economics and inequality
Ohio Northern University's Gamma Upsilon chapter of Phi Beta Delta and CASE (Committee on the Arts and Special Events) present Jonathon Andreas, economics professor at Bluffton University, in the Dicke Forum on Thursday, Feb. 21, at 7:30 p.m.
The title of Andreas' lecture is "Mutilitarianism: How the Ethics of Economics Enriches Elites at your Expense." The event is free and open to the public.
Andreas' presentation will propose replacing the most common welfare measurements with a simple new ethical system that deals with inequality more justly and responds to longstanding criticisms of welfare economics by philosophers and measurement theorists. This presentation is a popular version of a research paper Andreas first presented at ONU for the Ohio Association of Economists and Political Scientists conference in 2012.
Andreas had little interest in economics when he was an undergraduate in American studies at Grinnell College. But after graduation, he spent three years working in and touring Asia and Latin America, where he became fascinated with economics while observing the radically different outcomes that different economic systems produce in people's lives. After his travels, Andreas obtained his doctorate in economics in 2010 from the University of Illinois at Chicago under the direction of Joseph Persky and Deirdre McCloskey.
Phi Beta Delta is the honor society for international scholars. Founded in 1987, the nominees for membership in the Gamma Upsilon chapter of Phi Beta Delta include outstanding faculty, staff, students and alumni. The society hopes to integrate those who possess a deep commitment to international affairs, education and research. One of the functions of the Gamma Upsilon chapter has been to create a regular forum in which international affairs can be discussed using University sources and by seeking prominent individuals with varied experience in international affairs recruited from beyond the University community.

how do you figure out how much milk your baby is getting from breast?
how do you figure out how much milk your baby is getting from breast?
If you are nursing on demand there is no reason to quantify the amount of milk. The baby will take as much as it needs. If the baby needs more you will notice an increase in feedings probably the result of a growth spurt. Your body will make more as the baby asks and needs more. Why do you ask?

If it is absolutely necessary that you know how many ounces the baby gets in a feeding, you could talk to your doctor about a precision scale to weigh baby before and after nursing. But the best way to judge if enough is going in is by how much is coming out. Are you counting wet and pooey diapers?

text: 2012: Mayan prophecies and crop circles narxes posted:5/2/2011 4:53:09 AM Scholars and researchers have discovered an extraordinary connection between rare ancient 6000 year old Sumerian symbols, ancient symbols from the mysterious Mayan calendar, and a group of amazing signs and symbols found among crop circle formations believed to be extraterrestrial in origin, that are now appearing in the farmlands of the English countryside. THREE TIME AWARD WINNER – International UFO Congress EBE Awards, Best Documentary, Best Historical Documentary and Peoples Choice Award. What are these symbols collectively trying to say? Scientists believe that we are looking at a great symbolic message system, covering vast distances of historical time and space. However only now with the aid of advanced code breaking technology and the hard work of brilliant researchers, we have been able to connect the dots of antiquity, further unlocking a detailed set of messages that fortell a great prophecy about the future of our planet and confirmation of humanities extraterrestrial origins.The following video is a clip from the documentary "Mayan prophecies and crop circles", which is available directly from UFO TV. For those that still insist that crop circles are created by "blokes with planks"… this film debunks this theory as it features video evidence of a crop circle being created in a flash of light which was caught on camera and quite frankly, the designs of these phenomena start to make that theory laughable. There is however some dispute over the claims made in the film about Aztec/Mayan symbols in the depictions. We could have written pages of evidence/counter evidence here, but we'd present no argument that can't be found elsewhere, so it's better to just watch the videos and draw your own conclusions…. The Mayan Connection is short video by Jaime Maussan, Mexico's leading Ufologist about the amazing messages encoded in the Crop Circle formations in recent years which a have a strong Mayan signature to it and all pointing towards a time period from now to 2012 when Quetzalcoatl or Kukulcan, the Feathered Serpent will return … the crop circles encode Maya symbolism to represent the date of the solar zenith conjunction of Venus and Pleiades on May 20, 2012 and the Venus transit (June 6, 2012).Jaime Maussan at the 16th Annual International UFO Congress giving the interpretation of the Crop Circles and the 2012, Mayan Symbolism … on August 15th of 2002 in a wheat field in Hampshire, UK., the discovery of a highly detailed and complex crop circle with a so-called alien face and circular disk surfaced.Many since have speculated as to who created it and why.The message within the disk was deciphered using the standard 8 bit binary code known as ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange). The cipher starts at the center of the disk and spirals outward counter-clockwise, this is also the same read pattern that a compact disc or DVD uses. The empty spaces represent the binary number of ZERO and the blocks represent the binary number ONE. Using this cipher we get the message of: "Beware the bearers of false gifts and their broken promises. Much pain, but still time. Believe there is good out there. We oppose deception. Conduit closing. 0×07" The binary code of 0×07 at the end of the message would produced a bell sound similar to that of an old typewriter.What do you think? Are these man made? If so, how and why? the designs would take days for humans to create without damage to the surrounding crop by the team of people needed to plot and calculate the designs with such accuracy. Let us know your thoughts….spiritech0 posted:5/3/2011 10:39:19 AM The typewriter ding reminds me of a communication system depicted in the science-fiction series "Fringe", which keeps people from parallel universes in touch via typewriter and a particularly placed mirror. Conduit closing is like a command from the "Stargate" or "Dr Who" tv series. The mix of ancient prophetic scripture, awful urgency, "Fox Mulder" quote, and the thing that goes against pure and normal human instinct concerning "greys" is a coin toss. I mean, sure this dude is smiling with his nifty spacesuit and flotilla, but statistically speaking - I don't buy it.They have the tech to draw on precious farmland, they can send MUFON, SETI, the RLSH (ftw) and every one of us willing to do something good a cooperative defense plan.Or, do ya'll think this guy (alien in the bottom pic) is telling the truth and had mere seconds to get this warning out?treeofgreen posted:5/3/2011 8:19:56 PM nice post, people have been trying to debunk crop circles forever! They just cant... no human can make these images in crops without either... days or weeks of planning and creating and even still to get them PERFECT which is how they are shown is near impossible. Debunkers will try... but will never IMO debunk the crop circles that seeminly appear instantly overnight in incredibly complex patterns. This isnt even going into the radiation left on the stalks and also how they are modified to bend and not break.narxes posted:5/4/2011 3:54:12 AM yes when you try to bend the weeds with hand they will brake, in some of the authentic crop circles some of the nodes even exploded. there is a big difrence between the plant growth as well even after the cirlce was formed the weeds on the location grow much larger and healthyer. spiritech0 posted:5/4/2011 10:48:45 AM Healthier stalks, eh? That reminds me of the sixty or so children from an African school that were told by the smaller greys that they need to take better care for Earth's resources. So with the friendly loving caring warnings embedded into what are now healthier stalks of food.... I can still consume boxes o' crunchy HFCS drowned in Monsanto moo-juice? Awesome work, alien friends! Notify the farmeres and the wee ones in Africa - because the plans of the suits at the top can and will be defeated like that.Save the humans! Right. Again, I don't have the imagination to understand the essential effectiveness of this alien technology / technique to make our Planet a better place to exist in.paranormalisnormal12 posted:5/6/2011 10:31:14 AM to tell you the truth i not sure of some crop crop circles and small exploisons in the crops cannot explian the figures and shapes these biengs make beccaflorecita posted:5/6/2011 8:30:43 PM Sounds man made, but you never know!spiritech0 posted:5/11/2011 2:05:36 PM I say it's man made.... Humans from "other places"....monica1968 posted:5/24/2011 8:38:11 AM i agree here with spiritecho, i also remember reading a peice about this subject, wasn't there something similar done in the us it was the same sort of face but without the disc, it was the same article that was researched by someone who went to a particular feild in the uk and from a distance he saw what could only be described as strange winds and mist, after the 15 min he took to get to that field to be greeted by an awesome formation, there were several people with him to verify this, i would say that there must be better ways of informing us, but if you think about it going to the powers that be is a waste of time all they want to know about is the technology so they can have one-upmanship on thier adversaries or whatever, so i probably think this is the best way of getting a message across without it being covered up or tampered with. The two idiots from the uk who claim to have done them with planks were probably the disinfo lot, hired by the gov to make a joke of it, and to some large extent it worked, but these formations have been going on for centuries, the first recorded one goes far back into the 17th century and probably even earlier it one of those things that will never really be answered monica1968 posted:5/24/2011 9:14:04 AM has the photogragh been authenticated, a photogragh by itself is not proof enough especially with todays technology and the use of computers to digitally enhance such pictures, there are other ways of producing these formations, NOT JUST USING PLANKS, so i will reserve judgement on this one, it looks too similar to the one done in the us without the disk Please log in or become a member to add a post.

Romanowksy Helps Trinity Bounce Bates
from press release
HARTFORD, Conn. - Senior co-captain attacker Rachel Romanowsky (Hampstead, N.H.) had two goals and three assists in the second half to help the Trinity College Bantams turn a 7-7 tie at the half into a 14-8 victory against the visiting Bates College Bobcats in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) women's lacrosse action this afternoon in a steady rain on Sheppard Field.
Trinity, ranked No. 3 in the nation, improves to 13-0 overall and 8-0 in the NESCAC, while the No. 18-ranked Bobcats drops to 7-6 overall and 3-5 in the league with its second loss in a row. The Bantams also set a new College record for wins to start the season, and will play Amherst, ranked No. 15 nationally, at home on Friday night, April 29 at 6 p.m. with the first-ever undefeated regular season in the program's history on the line. Trinity has started 12-0 in 1993 en route to a 13-2 campaign.
Romanowsky opened the second half feeding sophomore midfielder Megan Leonhard (Summit, N.J.) for the game-winning goal 2:08 after the break, and added an unassisted tally of her own at the 24:07 mark to give Trinity a 9-7 lead. Romanowsky assisted Leonhard and sophomore attacker Hadley Duncan (Rye, N.Y.) on subsequent second-half scores, and added her third goal of the game before fellow Trinity senior co-captain
Trinity Alisen Urquhart (Redding, Conn.) capped off a 7-0 run with her fourth tally of the game and her second of the spurt with 5:42 on the clock. Bates junior attacker Joan O'Neill (Westwood, Mass.) scored her fourth goal of the game in the final minute to avoid a second-half shutout for the visitors.
Trinity had built an early 4-1 lead 10 minutes into the game that was matched by a 4-1 spurt by the Bobcats over the following 8:38, and the teams traded scores back and forth over the final 6:22 ending with an unassisted scoring shot by O'Neill with 1:54 left before intermission.
Trinity junior goalie Gina Dinallo (West Hartford, Conn.) replaced sophomore Olivia Whitney (Danvers, Mass.) after halftime, and helped keep the Bobcats scoreless until just 27 seconds before time expired. Trinity outshot Bates, 32-18, and held a 15-to-9 edge on the draw, while Leonhard matched Urquhart with four goals to go with one assist, and Romanowsky totaled three goals and four assists for the Bantam offense.
Urquhart also scooped four ground balls, while Trinity junior midfielder Liz Bruno (Andover, Mass.) caused a game-high seven turnovers, and Whitney and Dinallo combined for three saves. O'Neill assisted on two goals to finish with six points, while rookie SooHee Yoon (Lexington, Mass.) picked up four groundballs, and senior co-captain goalkeeper Mara Krueger (St. Louis, Mo.) made 10 saves for the Bobcats.

Liberal Republican challenges in Rutland-3 primaryBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | August 24,2014Dean Powers said that while he has campaigned for President Obamas Affordable Care Act, and his primary political goal is cutting carbon emissions, he still considers himself a Republican.
I believe in small government and I believe that welfare is a problem, both for people and for corporations, he said. Thats why Im a Republican.
Dean added, I know Ive got some liberal views. Im a liberal Republican, but I still believe, at the end of the day, the government should be small, the Second Amendment should be protected and we shouldnt be supporting people who are able to work.
The 32-year-old Castleton man is challenging Rutland District 3s two Republican incumbents Rep. Robert Helm and Rep. William Canfield in the districts first Republican primary in a decade. The district includes Castleton, Fair Haven, Hubbardton and West Haven.
The two winners of the primary will likely be unopposed in the general election, as no other names are slated to be on the ballot.
Powers said he is unemployed, though he previously lobbied for health care reform with the Maine Small Business Coalition.
I live with my parents, he said. Im not working right now. Im just campaigning.
Powers said he decided to run because of the environment.
Protecting the environment is a top priority, he said. Its a weakness of mine, something Im particularly concerned about.
Powers said he would like to see the Legislature do something to cut carbon dioxide emissions, but that he was short on specific proposals.
There are some good ideas out there, I guess, he said. Im supportive of anything.
Powers said he also thinks the state budget could be cut, but that he would have to get there to see where to make cuts.
Canfield, 61, of Fair Haven, has served five terms and says he cannot recall a primary challenge since his first race in 2004. He said his proudest accomplishment of his most recent term was a bill dealing with producer responsibility for disposal of household batteries.
Its going to be the manufacturers getting together with an association and theyre going to cover the cost, he said. Right now, you have to wait for hazardous waste disposal day. With this, you wont.
Canfield said the industry has until January to submit a plan to the state, and that the program will hopefully take effect in 2016. He said while he also hopes to get something done regarding the recycling of milk cartons, he expects next session to be dominated by health care reform.
Im looking at what other states might be doing and going in with an open mind, he said.
Canfield said he has become the ranking member of the House Natural Resources and Energy Committee, and that experience makes him invaluable to the district. He also said he has spent eight years on the Governors Veterans Advisory Council.
Helm, 64, also of Fair Haven, has served 12 terms. He said of late his principal accomplishments have been to chip away at little parts and pieces of the budget.
Thats where I spend most of my time, internal stuff nowadays, he said. Appropriations and not spending takes up most of my time. ... All in all, the budgets still out of control. The Republicans are a minority, very much so. The agenda is controlled by the other party.
Like Canfield, Helm said health care is going to be the main challenge of the coming term.

Part 1: Common Practices Among High-quality Authorizing Offices
The eight charter authorizers in this study have developed strong practices designed to strengthen the quality and success of the charter schools they authorize. The authorizers are diverse in many ways: One is part of a much larger nonprofit that has a mission to provide services to marginalized communities, while two others are based in large urban district offices that have chosen charter schools as one strategy to improve student performance. Some are the sole authorizer in their state; while others operate where there are multiple entities with authority to authorize charter schools. Some have chartered dozens of schools; others have far fewer. A checklist at the end of this section summarizes steps for building a strong authorizing program.
Despite these differences, these offices all share several fundamental characteristics—strong internal capacity, a rigorous selection process, transparent oversight policies, and willingness to make hard decisions—that form the basis of successful authorizing (see fig. 1). They implement these core processes in different ways, having developed them in response to their particular contexts, but all are focused on constant improvement. In their drive to improve education options for students, these authorizers have developed essential practices that offer a model for other authorizing offices across the country.

Goodwill Industries International is expanding a pilot program designed to advance the careers of women across the United States.
Through a $7.7 million grant from the Wal-Mart Foundation, the Beyond Jobs program will now create a larger impact by reaching more women who are unemployed or underemployed. The funding will help broaden the reach of a program that was started in 2010 in five U.S. markets serving 1,342 women, to serving an expected 12,250 women in 49 communities.
The program's growth comes at a critical time as U.S. Department of Labor statistics show that only 26 percent of the women who lost their jobs during the recession have regained them. In addition, last year, more than one out of four women was still looking for work after more than a year of job hunting.
"Beyond Jobs is designed not just to place women in jobs, but to provide them with the opportunity to earn credentials, enhance their careers in the emerging competitive labor market and support themselves and their families in the long-term," said Jim Gibbons, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries International. "By assisting women in need, Goodwill further fulfills its mission of serving a diverse group of people with low incomes and financial challenges."
Beyond Jobs leverages Goodwill's holistic approach to job training, placement and family financial support services. Over a 30-month grant period, Goodwill will work with women who earn low incomes to provide them with the tools to achieve their educational, career and financial goals.
Each woman in the program will receive a complete career assessment, including job training, placement services and additional support to help them achieve economic security and advance in their careers. Once participants are placed in jobs, they receive support to help retain them, to further their education, and to advance in careers within their chosen industries.
"Wal-Mart has made a long-term commitment to support initiatives aimed at empowering women around the globe," said Sylvia Mathews Burwell, president of the Wal-Mart Foundation. "By working every day with dedicated partners like Goodwill, we can dramatically improve the lives of women and their families here at home."
The Beyond Jobs program is a key element in Wal-Mart achieving the goals of its Global Women's Economic Empowerment Initiative, one of which is to help 200,000 U.S. women from low-income households with workforce readiness through job training, education, career counseling, and mentoring.

USDA Opens Export Markets for Day-Old Chicks, Hatching Eggs, Dairy Cattle and Pears
WASHINGTON, April 3, 2013 – Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) today announced recent results of the Agency's efforts to support exports of U.S. agricultural products. APHIS' recent efforts are expected to help increase exports of U.S. cattle, poultry products, and pears by over $85 million a year.
Day-Old Chicks and Hatching Eggs to Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan
APHIS is announcing the opening of export markets to Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia for U.S. day-old chicks and hatching eggs, increasing U.S. exports by an estimated $25 million a year.
"This is a significant agreement for poultry exporters in the United States," said USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack. "For nearly 10 years, APHIS has pursued the opening of the Russian market to U.S. day-old chicks and hatching eggs, and now we have also secured access for these products to Belarus and Kazakhstan."
In February, APHIS veterinary health personnel and their counterparts in Moscow developed the export documentation that APHIS will issue for products shipped to the three countries. In 2010, Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus formed a Customs Union, and are currently working to harmonize import requirements for cattle and other live animals and livestock products. The market access for poultry commodities represents the first of nearly 40 new agreements related to live animals and animal products that USDA will work to negotiate with the Customs Union.
Dairy Cattle to Iraq
Following direct negotiations with Iraqi animal health officials in February, APHIS officials reached agreement with their counterparts on export certification requirements for U.S. dairy cattle shipments to that country.
"The Middle East is an important and emerging market for U.S. cattle exporters," said Vilsack.
The annual market value is projected to be more than $60 million. APHIS will work with exporters to ensure the exported cattle meet the terms of the agreement with Iraq.
Anjou Pears to China
APHIS is also announcing the arrival of the first shipment of U.S. Anjou pears to China. U.S. pears are now available for the first time ever to consumers in China.
APHIS officials have worked in conjunction with industry, federal and international partners to open the Chinese market to U.S. grown pears. In 2012, U.S. and Chinese officials reached an agreement to accept exports of pears grown in the two countries.
"APHIS worked diligently with their industry partners and our agriculture counterparts in China to realize this accomplishment," said Vilsack. "This initial shipment of 6,615 boxes of U.S. pears was worth over $100,000, and brings with it the excitement of new market opportunities and continued success for this industry. We expect China to become one of the top five export destinations for U.S.-grown pears within the next two seasons."
APHIS' team of technical experts, based in the United States and abroad, includes scientists, veterinarians, pathologists, and entomologists that advocate on behalf of U.S. agriculture. They build relationships with their agricultural health and regulatory counterparts in other countries and use scientific principles to explain to foreign officials why U.S. commodities are safe to import. APHIS' efforts include keeping U.S. agricultural industries free from pests and diseases and certifying that the millions of U.S. agricultural and food products shipped to markets abroad meet the importing countries' entry requirements.
The Obama Administration, with Agriculture Secretary Vilsack's leadership, has aggressively worked to expand export opportunities and reduce barriers to trade, helping to push agricultural exports to record levels. U.S. agriculture is currently experiencing its best period in history thanks to the productivity, resiliency, and resourcefulness of our producers and agribusinesses. Today, net farm income is at record levels while debt has been cut in half since the 1980s. Overall, American agriculture supports 1 in 12 jobs in the United States and provides American consumers with 83 percent of the food we consume, while maintaining affordability and choice. Strong agricultural exports contribute to a positive U.S. trade balance, create jobs, boost economic growth and support President Obama's National Export Initiative goal of doubling all U.S. exports by the end of 2014.

Always Belong to Us
As some of you may have heard, LaDanian Tomlinson signed a restuctured three-year contract with the San Diego Chargers last week. To be honest, it really went under my radar. I heard a snippet in the morning news on the radio, but that was it. Then again, I don't listen to sports radio, so I probably missed it. After the Chargers lost in the playoffs, I realized that I had jumped on the bandwagon, and once they were done, I jumped right off. Now I don't want anything to do with football. It's baseball time. So, I am not here to talk about LT that much. Yeah, I've gotta talk about Trevor…again.
Trevor Hoffman and LaDainian Tomlinson are two major San Diego sports icons. Trevor was here for sixteen seasons. LT has been here for eight years. In fact, he was drafted by the Chargers. Now, there's no doubt that both of these men have made huge impacts on the city of San Diego, both on the field and off. I don't know if it's just because they don't like the Padres, but people are comparing Trevor to LT and saying that Trevor has less class because he left.
On Sunday I read the weekly letters to the editor in the sports section of the Union-Tribune. Aw man that drove me nuts! First off, there's one from a man who lives in San Diego and says that, "…in the end he (Trevor) did not demonstrate the class of the athlete we had thought we knew so well." This guy is talking about the fact that Trevor "takes the bigger money to leave town." Uh, correction! Trevor was kicked out of San Diego. He didn't have a choice but to leave. Sure, he could have taken the $4 million, but the Padres' front office didn't want him back. That was obvious. I mean, $4 million, no options. Not good enough. The front office did not treat him with the respect he deserves and has earned over all these years in San Diego!! Trevor's brought so much to this city, and to this team! It was one of the worst things the Padres' front office has ever done.
Tony Gwynn spend twenty years in a Padres uniform. He was never part of another team. He certainly took less money to stay in San Diego. And guess what? Trevor has done that too. The last time Trevor was a free agent, the Indians offered him a great contract. He could have been gone years ago. But he stayed with the Padres, with a much lower contract. He did that because he loves San Diego, just like Tony Gwynn. He would not leave it if he could help it. Trevor did not leave San Diego willingly this offseason. He was forced to. You can't sign with a team if they don't want you. Merely hours before his signing with the Brewers, he contacted the Padres again, to see if there was any hope of negotiations. The Padres said no. THEY DON'T WANT HIM!!! I don't know why. I've been struggling with this all offseason.
So now he's with the Brewers. He still loves San Diego. It is my hope that he will be back here to pitch again for his team next year. But Trevor didn't sign with the Dodgers. He could have. The Dodgers look like they are going to be very good this year. They have a chance to go deep into the postseason. Plus, they were just up the road. But he know what that would do to Padres fans. He wants to be here, but to make it easier for the San Diego fans, he signed with the Brewers. It also helped that the Brewers pursued him. Probably more than LA did.
Another letter in the Union-Tribune said: "Tim Sullivan's column, 'CEO Spanos makes it clear…' was so very nice, and right on. For the first time ever, he made me cry. Specifically, his line, 'LT might play for some other team, but he will always belong to us,' brought tears to my eyes. Trading LaDainian Tomlinson to another team at this stage of his career would be akin to the Padres trading Tony Gwynn to the Dodgers…" etc etc. Do you see it? You could use this letter to perfectly describe Trevor! "Trevor might play for some other team, but he will always belong to us." "Trading Trevor Hoffman to another team at this stage of his career would be akin to the Padres trading LaDainion Tomlinson to the Raiders…" I think you get the point.
Trevor is as good of a person and a player as LT. And though the city of San Diego gets to enjoy watching LT play for at least three more years, we're not going to have our all-time saves leader here, at least not yet. Padres GM Kevin Towers has said that he would at least like Trevor to sign with the Padres, get one save, and that would be enough. I agree. We would love to have him here longer, like a whole season, but if that's all he's got left in him, we will settle with one game. Just to see him again in that Padres uniform, to hear Hell's Bells ringing through Petco Park for one last time, to see him pitch, would be incredible. I want to be at that game.
So, that's what we true die-hard Padres fans are longing for. We want our closer back. Maybe one more game. Maybe one more season. We just want him back in San Diego. He will always belong to us. And we want him back where he belongs.

Be sure to check out the Max Madness that's going on over at the Max blog. My turn will be coming around sometime in the next few days, and I would really appreciate votes! I'm going up against another popular blog, so it will be a battle to see who comes out on top. But it's all in fun, so I would love to move up, but if not, I won't boycott MLBlogs or anything🙂 Thanks for the votes!

Today the Padres are playing the Los Angeles Angels in Peoria. I have no idea who's starting. All I know is that the game is at 1 pm and that Kyle Blanks will be playing first.
UPDATE: Corey Brock posted his entry just after I posted mine, so I now have the lineup:
CF Jody Gerut
2B David Eckstein
RF Brian Giles
3B Kevin Kouzmanoff
1B Kyle Blanks
LF Chase Headley
C Eliezer Alfonso
SS Luis Rodriguez
SP Josh Geer
Followed by pitchers Greg Burke, Scott Patterson, Ivan Nova and Mark Worrell. Geer is supposed to go five innings.
Looks like Team Mexico got eliminated last night, so the Gonzalez boys and Scotty Hairston should be back in camp soon. That will be good. But tonight is a do-or-die game for Team USA. That will be very interesting. Team USA is dealing with a lot of injuries right now. This is pretty concerning. These guys need to be ready to play in the regular season!
Also, I'd like to welcome back Friar Fan, who started a Padres blog late last year and is now getting back into it. It's so great to get all these Padres bloggers here! I am very excited. This blog never really got welcomed into the community, so go say hi!
Well, today is St. Patrick's Day. I'm pretty sure I have some Irish blood somewhere from my parents, but a holiday isn't a holiday if you don't get work and school off. That's what I think. And plus, I don't like the color green. So, I'm a big St. Patrick's Day humbug, but Happy St. Patrick's Day anyway!

Happy St. Patty's Day! You know Kaybee – it is always the way in sports – fans will not agree on many of the trades that teams make. (Boston is a great example with the debate over Manny) You can be involved in the debate – you can rant and rave – but you can take the other comments personally. It will drive you crazy if you do! Hang in there – I hope that Trevor Hoffman comes back!
Hey Kaybee…thanks for the props!! I really appreciate it. About Trevor, I have all the faith in the world that he'll be back in SD next year. That's why he signed a one-year deal. I think the whole ownership instability was just awful timing. I blame both sides to some extent, but we'll forgive and forget when he's back ringing in Hell's Bells next season on our way to the World Series! (yep…you read that right!)
2010 the Jays are going to have make decisions on Halladay. Your whole plight with Hoffman this year would be similar to what I'd would go through if Halladay were to be traded or let go. As evidence from your blog, I don't want that to happen!
Isn't it interesting how some fans react when a beloved player leaves town – through no fault of his own! They misinterpret it as a snub or being just about money. Oh, well. You know the way it really went down with Trevor, so pay no attention. Happy St. Patrick's Day.
Imagine if Peavy did get traded to the Cubs. That would be tough to watch. The NL Central race is heating up and the Brewers and Cubs are making a rivalry. It's the last day of the season and Peavy is dueling off against Hoffman. Ouch.
I think you are absolutely right about Trevor. It would be a bad idea for him to sign somewhere that made it clear they don't want him. I am sorry the San Diego fans lost such a great closer and sports icon and I hope he can come back.
I don't know too much about LT, I'll have to check him out! Don't you just hate the really moronic letters to the editors, or comments on message boards? They make me so angry!
Are you going to change your blog picture since you have a Hoffman shirt on?
Also, will you cheer or boo him when the Brewers come to town?
Rogers, I actually put that picture up when he left. He was my first favorite Padre, and I really love him and respect him as a person and as a player. The circumstances that made him leave San Diego were just horrible. When the Brewers come to town, if I was able to be at the staduim, I would definitely be cheering, and probably be crying. To me, Trevor will always be a Padre no matter where he goes. And I believe that he will come back to the Padres next year, whether it be a game or a season. I love Trevor! Losing him this offseason was really tough, but he still has my full fanship. Trevor has so much class. If he had signed the Dodgers just to spite Padres fans or something, I probably would hate him, but he signed with the Brewers. He will always be a Padre. He will always belong to us.

I am new to the forum and so glad to have found! I am returning to work in 3wks as a flight attendant. Will be out of town 2-3 weekends a month. My DS will be 7mths. I have been EBF until now. Just started w/solids. I want to continue to BF. Concerned about being away. How to keep supply up? How will baby react to me not being there? Especially since I have been feeding him on demand. Is it possible to do? DH will be with DS while I am gone.
Really need some suggestions and support! Thanks.
