Donna McLeod Tomasini Rites
GRANITEVILLE The largely attended service to honor and celebrate the life of Donna McLeod Tomasini, of the Middle Road, was held Monday, May 5, 2014, at 11 a.m. in the First Presbyterian Church of Barre. She died April 29, 2014, at her home.
The Rev. Carl Hilton-Van Osdall, pastor of the church, led the service, reading from the Scriptures and offering the meditation. Organist and pianist Alison Cheroff accompanied the congregation in the hymns How Great Thou Art and Lead, Kindly Light and special song The Rose.
The musical offerings included Wind Beneath My Wings, sung by Nicole Woodcock, accompanied by pianist Cheroff, and This is Your Song, which was composed and rendered by guitarist-soloist and granddaughter Ali Grenier. Ali also sang with Nicole the James Taylor song Fire and Rain.
Those who shared memories included her daughter the Rev. Tamara Tomasini Grenier, from her text My Mother is a Story Woman, as well as daughter Rhonda Tomasini Thygesen; grandchildren Kellan Grenier and Ryan, Kristy and Katie Thygesen; and longtime friend from Spaulding High School days Sue Lague.
Fellowship and luncheon followed in the church vestry.
The Rev. Hilton-Van Osdall conducted the graveside and committal service in the Hope Cemetery, prior to the church ceremony.
The bearers were grandsons Ryan Thygesen and Kellan Grenier; son-in-law Shawn Thygesen; and family friends Corey Robbins, Philip Daye, Luke Lacroix, Ben Taylor and Eric Lajeunesse.
Poetic tributes were offered by Donnas sister Dianne Vanderbush, who read the poem Her Journey Has Just Begun, and daughter Rhonda, who read the poem If You Have a Mother.
Prior to departing the grave site, daughter Tamara led the family in a circle of prayer for closure and benediction.
The Hooker and Whitcomb Funeral Home, 7 Academy St., Barre, was in charge of the arrangements.MORE IN ObituariesPaul N. Sourdiff

Recipe: Herb-crusted baked cod
By Mayo Clinic Staff
Dietitian's tip:
Cod — a mild-flavored saltwater fish — is a good candidate for grilling. Wrap the stuffing-coated fillets in aluminum foil and grill until firm and opaque throughout, about 5 minutes on each side.
Number of servings
Serves 4
3/4 cup herb-flavored stuffing
4 cod fillets, each 4 ounces
1/4 cup honey
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Lightly coat a 9-by-13 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Place stuffing in a sealed bag. Crush until it has a crumb texture.
Brush the fillets with honey. Discard any remaining honey. Place a fillet in the bag of stuffing. Shake the bag gently to coat the cod evenly. Place the fillet on the baking dish and repeat with the remaining fillets.
Bake until the fish is opaque throughout when tested with the tip of a knife, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

One of the biggest criticisms of Obama is that he doesn't show his emotions. We can't get the same read on him that we could on Clinton or Reagan, and this has been unsettling for many. This is a time we need a leader who can stand with us shoulder to shoulder—not lagging behind and crying, or forging ahead and thinking—but standing beside us and feeling.
New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd recently wrote, "I looked into the sad eyes of President Obama, buried alive with his party." I think most Americans see something else, too—eyes that are withdrawn and detached.
If eyes really are windows into the soul, it doesn't take a lot more effort to peek into the mind as well.
This is a struggle for leaders and thinkers like Obama who are more analytical in their approach to life than emotional. They do not dwell on emotional intelligence. Instead, they prefer the clarity of analysis to the chaos of sticky and unpredictable emotions.
When overwhelmed, they react by withdrawing.
A Tinker Toy Mind
Remember tinker toys? As a kid, I built tractors, corrals, and skyscrapers out of their colored sticks and wooden wheel joints. Tinker toy minds like to add new ideas, reconstruct old ones, and attempt to see how different parts of the situation might fit together. They are the inquisitive ones who want to understand how the world works. These people usually have something unusual and insightful to say.
Analytical minds are brilliant at finding out why things work the way they do.
They test the truth of most assumptions for themselves. Think of great analytical minds like Bill Gates, Stephen Hawking, and Warren Buffet. They are imaginative, conceptual people who appreciate the value of theory in whatever they do.
They are also the ones who move into their heads when overwhelmed because this is where they feel safest. Tinker toy minds spend a lot of time observing, contemplating, and listening because they believe that from the safety of their mind, they will be able to figure out how it all fits together and works.
President Obama is a famous example of the tinker toy mind.
The Best Sort Of FBI Agent
I spent four years as spokesperson for the FBI in Northern California. I liked it because I truly believe the FBI is the world's premiere law enforcement agency and I enjoyed getting the word out. Many of our best agents have tinker toy minds.
One of them, Bryan, investigated organized criminal gangs. He tracked down several criminals who were wanted in the U.S. but had fled to foreign countries to avoid prosecution. He was analytical and liked to puzzle stuff out—a very useful characteristic for his line of work.
Bryan was also very private and wanted to be left alone so he could do his job. He communicated by "keeping things close to the vest." When overwhelmed by the demands of work, he withdrew and stayed there until he felt he had things under control. Does this describe anyone you know?
Communicating With A Tinker Toy Mind
According to Myers Briggs Personality Types, we make decisions based on whether we are Thinkers or Feelers. Tinker toy minds are thinkers and they have been among the most productive leaders in our country. How is the best way to understand and work with this type of thinker—particularly when we approach life differently?
Thanks to Bryan, here are some tips I learned in how to communicate with them:
- Give them lots of structure when it comes to communication, like agendas and time frames
- Minimize spontaneous communication
- Minimize idle chitchat
- Provide lots of advance warnings of meetings
- Provide lots of details and data so they can have an edge
- Recognize they respond directly to questions and avoid fuzzy thinking
- Understand "the big picture" for them is not an abstract concept but a series of specific information nuggets that connect the details
- Appreciate that facts are more important than gut feelings
- Provide direct, specific, and concise responses
"Since we cannot be universal and know all that is to be known of everything, we ought to know a little about everything." Pascal
What tips can you share about how to bring out the best in those who are analytical?

Financial Aid Process for Studying Abroad
Timing is very important in the process of receiving financial aid for study abroad programs. Each of the steps below must be completed before students leave the country. Not all study abroad programs are eligible for financial aid. To receive financial aid, the program must be affiliated and have a contractual agreement with Kansas State University. A study abroad program could be an exchange that K-State has with another university or through a program provider in a contractual agreement with K-State. Study Abroad Advisors provide information regarding affiliated programs.
1. Apply for federal financial aid.
If students have not done so already, they need to complete and submit a Free Application for Federal (FAFSA) for the academic year in which they plan on studying abroad. If the study abroad program is during the summer, students also need to complete the Summer Financial Aid Application. Students should check iSIS to see if there is any missing information our office needs in order to process the financial aid.
2. Work with a Study Abroad Advisor, in the Office of International Program (OIP), to choose and apply to a study abroad program.
Study Abroad Advisors provide information regarding the costs of various study abroad programs. After choosing a study abroad program, Study Abroad Advisors provide students with a signed cost summary sheet for the chosen study abroad program. Applications to study abroad will include a Study Abroad Academic Approval form to be signed by the student and his or her Academic Advisor. If the student plans on using federal financial aid to help fund the study abroad program, the student should meet with the study abroad financial aid advisor. If a study abroad program will be led by a faculty member from K-State, students do not need to complete a Study Abroad Academic Approval form.
3. Meet with the study abroad financial aid advisor, in the OSFA, if needing federal financial aid for the study abroad program.
Once a study abroad program is chosen, a cost summary sheet is provided to our office. The study abroad program expenses are then added to the student's cost of attendance in order to offer additional financial aid to the student.
4. Make all necessary arrangements for the OSFA to authorize financial aid to be applied to the student account.
Students should enroll for a Direct Deposit refund in iSIS. Parents should enroll for a Direct Deposit refund (EFT) with Cashiers and Student Accounts.
For questions about studying abroad, please email the OIP at email@example.com or call (785) 532-5990.

Yusmeiro Petit; a one hit wonder
Petit was large and in charge last night at PNC Park. The right hander was dominant on the mound striking guys out and making them pop out. He was masterful at making the Pirates look silly. Thats just what the Diamondbacks did last night, embarrased the Bucs with a 6-0 shutout. After being so pumped up to be at this game my high hopes were deflated in the 8th inning.
Petit took a no-hitter to the 8th. It was nuts to watch and be in attendance cheering for history. Obviously at the beginning I was cheering for the Bucs to win and win big. I was sick of the D-Backs being so dominant. The last 3 MLB games I have been to Arizona has won. In Colorado they came from behind to beat the Rockies, in Arizona they whallopped the Pirates and here again lats night they put a spanking on us. I was ready for the trend to halt and have the new look Bucs rip the D-Backs a new one. When it got to become the 6th inning I was ready. Man was I ready. I was anticipating every pitch thrown by Petit in hopes that my Pirates would get out. By doing this though I think I jinxed him. I was talking about the feat alot with my friend and people around me and I was just too excited for the hopes of my ticket stub being worth a good chunk of change. The hopes were dashed in the bottom of the 8th when Ronny Cedeno of Pittsburgh ripped a sharp line drive over the Short stops head. And there it was at the end of the game.
It almost seems like that Pirate flag should be a white flag. Goose eggs across the board and one hit for the lowly Pirates. You can see we did have some guys on base with chances to score. Petit's control was off and he walked a few batters. We once had a guy on 3rd base ready to score by way of stolen bases but the bats cooled off and couldn't do anything.
It's quite the shame this game didn't turn out they way I wanted. I had two options, a Bucs win or a no hitter and neither happened. I took a lot of time and preperation getting ready for this game too. As I was cleaning my room in the early afternoon I came across a Pirates hat I haven't seen in a while. It was a 1979 replica Pill box cap. I was so pumped. It was in my closet and I didn't even know about it. I put it with my other Pirate hat collection and displayed it on my bed.
Nice sheets huh? They are a staple at my parents house. Nice hats too huh? Yeah, those are mine. Each tell a story and I love wearing every single one of them. My new discovery was the one with the stripes. While I am a fan of fitted caps the pillbox one is classic. All I had to do was adjust the strap and put it on. I enjoyed my look and the hat too as I showed it off in the mirror.
Th eonly thing missing was "We are Family" playing on my stereo. (I had Kenny Chesney on instead). But I felt very cool in this hat and I will definately wear it out and to future games. I feel like Richies Hebner, Phil Garner, John Candaleria and the other great Pirates of the 1970's. I really will use it as a great reminder of the past and a way to show my pride for the future.
Anyway, along with my hat I had to decide what I was wearing to the game. I usually wear my gray jersey, pictured up there in the right top corner, but theres only one problem. The player doesn't play for the Bucs anymore.
My buddy Ian Snell, recently shipped to the Mariners in the Jack Wilson deal is no longer donning the black and gold. And I did not either. It was tough to see Jack go, but even tougher to see Ian go. I bought this jersey in the 2008 offseason and loved it, because I was a big fan of Ians. He always pitched hard and was determined to succeed. It was a tough year for him in Pittsburgh but after following his whole minor league career I know he has the stuff to have a great career. I really do not like wearing former player jersey like this one. People still wear Bay, Sanchez and Wilson to games but I like to stay fresh and obscure. I'm not sure if I will wear it again to game, as you can see opted to go with my classic "let's Go Bucs" and my yellow hat. The pillbox will wait for another day.
Hopefully, that day will be Saturday. I want to get back to PNC Park for the game against the Cardinals. Pujols would be nice to see but the big draw is OAR. They are a band who I really enjoy, as do many many other college kids. They are porforming a postgame concert on the field and tickets are sold out. I've been rummaging through Stub Hub but the seats on there are very pricey and not worth where the seats are. It'll be interesting to see if I shell out the money or if I can make it to the game. Wish me luck!
Hard to believe the Pirates could sell out a game a couple of weeks in advance especially after this scene from last night.
Very much empty and these pics were taken right at 7:05 pm the time of the first pitch. Yeah it was a Tuesday night, yeah its Pittsburgh and yeah its the Pirates but it is still a major league game. The announced attendance was just over 11,000 so I am not upset. Thats like the Mendoza Line for attendance in Pittsburgh. It still was a beautiful night in the 'burgh.

That blog title is absolutely genius. Makes sense in 2 different ways… good stuff.
I stopped buying current player's jerseys after Adrian Beltre left us. It still sits in my closet. The last one I got was Jackie Robinson and I did ask for a Jeff Kent jersey for Xmas but that was AFTer he retired. If I get another, I would like a Sandy Koufax.
I always get scared buying jerseys with guys' names on them. I have a 1998 Devil Rays jersey with no name. I have a 1999 game worn spring training jersey #18 (Ben Grieve) but without his name. And then I splurged on a Longoria jersey this past offseason. I think I'm safe there. I will go nuts if the Rays ever ship off Longo.
I bought a couple jerseys in the past one or two off seasons and here they are: Garko, Sabathia, and Martinez. Three guys that are gone. I still have Hafner and Cabrera left to wear. Those will be the last jeresys that i will buy.
I'd also just like to say, that you are one good looking young man. I guess that's why you get so many views. But look out, I've been getting record high views this month, I might pass you up on the mlblogs leader board, despite being inferior in the looks department😉
Thanks for stopping by my MLBlog a few days ago! Your blog is certainly entertaining and quite good. I only hope that the Bucs can right the ship somehow if it means actually getting good players at low rates – or finding out a way to take some early April momentum deeper into the season.
BTW, the old pillbox cap reminded me of 1979 again. That was high school and the Bucs were pretty exciting to watch. Here;s my recollections of the time: http://heirloom.mlblogs.com/archives/2008/04/like_one_of_the_family.html

New Math: Cirrus33 + 1 left foot + 1 right foot = Cushioning3. You won't find a more cushioned shoe to keep you protected and comfortable.
If you've got a wish for squish, you can't miss Cirrus33 on your list. (Say that 5 times fast!) Cush is the headline here – the Cirrus33 is more gooped up with Gel than any other Asics model. Ever. Run in the Nimbus or Vomero? Then you need to take the Cirrus33 for a spin.
Every tester was surprised by just how much more cushioning this shoe offers than other Asics models. But it's not a one-trick pony. You can tell that Asics put the work in to make this shoe runnable and fairly responsive given its pillowy protection. That said, a few testers noted hot spots at the top of the heel and on the lateral side of the upper near where the Asics logo joins up with the midsole.
While we're on the subject of hot, several testers felt that this shoe ran hot, and would have liked to have seen a little more breathability, particularly in the midfoot. Fit received high marks overall, with many testers liking the heel and the forefoot. This shoe is not as low-volume as some other 33 Collection shoes, which makes sense for the runner who is looking for a cozy daily trainer rather than a streamlined racing shoe.
Tremendous cushion for heel strikers, with a smooth transition for the runner who wants that near-effortless roll from heel to toe. It's more forgiving than the Nimbus and a lot like the very first Nike Vomero.
The Cirrus33 gives you bottomless cushioning. Seriously, I could not find the bottom of the cushioning in the heel and forefoot.
It's like a hotel mattress for your foot. For the ultimate in cushioning, choose this shoe.

Macbeth is the best Shakespeare Play but I have not read too many
I like Macbeth, Othello and Summer's night dream the most.
I think all his works are interesting.

Everything produced by Shakespeare is the best!
Midsummer night's dream is my favorite.
My favorite of all time would have to be Hamlet.
back in highschool, i hate him so much. because of him, our teacher made us memorize a lot of poems that i do not even understand the meaning. but i like the idea of Romeo and Juliet, though.
we made a gay-version back in highschool and we called it: "Romeo and Julio".
How can you hate Shakespeare? The guy was a literary genius. You may have hated learning all those sonnets but you can't deny the emotion behind them and whatnot.
Sorry bout this, just the musings of a art geek. :p
It's time for my favorite shakespear quote :
"Alas poor Yorick, I knew him; in America"
Favorite Shakespeare quote: Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind.
fav funny shakespeare quote:
the comedy of errors - i think you all have drank from the circes cup
but overall i like his quotations and the language
anyone reading a translation is missing a lot
Midsummer Night's Dream and Romeo and Juliet is the best in my opinion, MacBeth is decent but my school seems to use that play as a topic every year so im pretty much fed up of that one.

Low-Speed Mode
With the Low-speed mode for diesel Volvo Penta IPS and inboard shaft installations (D3-D13) you can control your boat from almost standstill up to full speed with the same lever. This will help you during docking in tight marinas, when you are trying to catch the big fish or when you are driving in inland waterways. With this function you control the boat's speed with the throttle/gear lever. In the first 12 degrees of the lever movement after engaging the gear, the engine will remain at idle and the boat's speed is reduced by a slip in the transmission. The slip is from 50% to full engagement and when you push the lever further, the gearbox is fully engaged. The throttle is increased and you can control the speed with the engine rpm.
The main benefits of the Low-speed mode
Full drivability and increased operator control at reduced boat speed.
More time for maneuvers and corrections.
Focus on operating and maneuvering.
Takes out the stress factor when docking operating in tight spaces.
Considerate to the surrounding environment.
Adjust the angles and slip
Your Volvo Penta dealer can, using a Vodia tool, help you adjust both angles where you control the clutch and the slip reduction from minimum 25% to maximum 75%. This function gives you improved maneuverability, through low speed, controlled with one lever.
A Volvo Penta EVC accessory
Low-speed Mode is one of several smart EVC accessories that make boating easier and more environmentally friendly. Developed, designed and serviced by Volvo Penta, all EVC accessories are perfectly matched with your Volvo Penta engine.
The Low-speed mode is integrated in the standard controls and gives smooth control from very low speed to full speed.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 47 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rosielyn A good travel hat I must wear a hat to keep the sun away, and we are going to France, where appearance matters. I chose the red, and I get compliments whenever I wear it. This is a hat that comes in sizes, and I have a big head. This hat is a bit looser than I expected, but this is better than the other way. Since the brim is large, the chinstrap comes in handy, as fairly mild breezes affect it. I keep it fairly secure, but at the back of my head. Under the chin is for strong winds. It does a great job of keeping off the sun. Mine came without any fold crease front to back, and folding and rolling it does create a crease, but this goes away. Folding and rolling will probably reduce the life of the hat, so I suggest doing so sparingly, but it can be done. It doesn't reduce to nothing, however. It will fit in my large purse. I am glad I got this hat. It is a decent quality, but not the most fine. Those are much more expensive. May 22, 2012

Foam and Paper Cups

Once they have served their purpose, you need not hassle with washing and sanitizing them as guests can merely throw them away. Many hospitals and medical practices opt for custom disposable paper & foam cups for hygiene purposes, namely to minimize the risk of cross-infection among their employees and patients within their facilities. Another example would be if your company or organization is throwing a themed holiday party or gathering, you could imprint these cups with a message related to the theme to add professionalism and pizzazz to the event.

Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.

A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.

- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Vegetarians and vegans still only make up a small percentage of the U.S. population, but chomping down on Northstar's veggie burger makes it easy to see why national forecasts show meat consumption to be down 12 percent from 2007.
This particular veggie burger might not be solely responsible for that drop, but it really is that good.
Hearty, delicious and inventive are words rarely used for meat alternatives, and it's not just the aforementioned burger that these apply to. From the Buddha Bowl to the crave-worthy, thin and crispy High Street Veggie flatbread, Northstar excels in offering premium, unique, rib-sticking deliciousness that just so happens to be meat-free.
It's almost hard to remember a time before ultra-modern and super-smart Northstar began shining its light on Columbus. How accustomed we've become to Northstar's crafty recreations of old familiar favorites from healthier, more sustainable and more flavorful ingredients.
That's undoubtedly what magnetically drew respondents to Northstar's weekend-only (11a.m. -3p.m.) brunch menu that shoots out dreamy Cloud Nine pancakes fluffed-up with ricotta cheese, frittata intensified with mushrooms and gruyere plus a Cowboy Breakfast (organic eggs, killer biscuit with lovely cherry preserves plus excellent pigmeat) expertly designed to getcha back in the saddle again.

Seven suspects in court after drug sweepBy Brent Curtis
staff writer | August 06,2014Seven suspects arrested last week as part of a Rutland-area drug sweep appeared in court this week to answer to a total of 16 felony offenses.
The arraignment Monday in Rutland criminal court of Cassandra M. Johnson, 26, Chelsea L. Hill, 22, Jennifer J. Cobb, 37, Demetrius Earle, 23, Michael R. Emerson, 32, Suzanne L. Webster, 28, and Eric C. Stephens, 48, represented the first of what will be 27 arraignments for individuals arrested last week as part of a Vermont Drug Task Force effort to disrupt the drug market in the Rutland area.
All of the accused reside in Rutland County with the exception of Johnson who has a White River Junction address, according to court records.
Each of the seven pleaded innocent to the charges against them and every one of the suspects who appeared Monday were charged with at least one felony count of selling either heroin or cocaine.
Earle answered to the most charges three felony counts of selling heroin and a misdemeanor charge of possession. However, Cobb, Hill and Emerson also answered to three felony counts of selling either heroin or cocaine.
Bail was set for most of those charged including bail in the amount of $500 for Johnson; $2,500 for Stephens; and $5,000 for Earle, Hill, Cobb, Webster and Emerson.
None of the accused remained in jail Tuesday evening.
The roundup last week, which involved local and federal law enforcement, was a continuation of Operation Fed Up, which took place in the city two years ago, Vermont State Police said last week.
Officials said the new arrests were built on information gathered in the previous one.
This is just all part of a sustained effort by law enforcement to cut off the supply chain into the city and the rest of the state, Lt. Col. Matthew Birmingham, deputy director of the Vermont State Police Narcotics Investigation Unit, said last week. Weve got to drive home the message that the supply of drugs into Rutland is not going to be allowed to continue.
Most of the charges were for sale of heroin, cocaine or narcotic, with several of the suspects charged with aiding in the commission of a felony, police said last week.
All of the accused who appeared in court Monday were arrested after allegedly selling drugs to confidential informants working with police.
According to court records, Hill allegedly sold 30 bags of heroin to an informant on three dates in January; Cobb is charged with selling small amounts of crack cocaine on two occasions and 10 bags of heroin to an informant in May; Earle allegedly sold 10 bags of heroin to an informant once in November and slightly less than 10 bags of the drug on two other dates in November; the charges against Emerson stem from drug sales in January when he allegedly sold 10 bags or less to an informant on three dates; and Webster allegedly sold 10 bags of heroin to an informant twice in October.
Johnson and Stephens were the only defendants facing single counts of drug sales. Police say Johnson sold two bags of heroin to an informant in May 2013 while Stephens allegedly sold 0.3 grams of crack to an informant in October.

Bruno Brings it Home
You don't have to be gay or openly support gay rights to feel a little chill at the news coming out of Uganda right now. For a country that is supposed to be one of the brighter spots in sub-Saharan Africa (excepting the still turbulent north), the recent news and continuing coverage of a law that, if passed, would be one of the the most draconian and repressive anti-gay laws in the world is particularly troubling. It shouldn't come as any surprise, though, considering that the "developed" world hasn't really made that much more progress.
Don't believe me? Here's an example. Raise your hand if you saw Sacha Baron Cohen's film Bruno this past summer. Ok, now keep your hand up if you enjoyed it. Yeah, a lot of hands went down there, didn't they? And why is that? Was it any less funny than Borat? Were the stunts any less ridiculous? Did he take advantage of people to a greater degree than he did in Borat? I'll admit that some of the scenes were over the top. But honestly, there was nothing there that was nearly as offensive as most of what happened in Borat.
So, why didn't people like the movie? Well, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it has a lot to do with being uncomfortable. It's easy to laugh at xenophobia. It's easy to laugh at a village simpleton who doesn't understand the way things are done elsewhere. But the in-your-face sexuality of Bruno is discomfiting. The character doesn't hide who he is and rather goes out of his way to flaunt it. Even those who consider themselves supportive of gay rights seemed to find themselves ejected from their comfort zones by Bruno's portrayal of such extreme sexuality.
These same currents flow even deeper in the world of sports. Imagine for a second if Tiger Woods had admitted to having multiple affairs with men. At this point, despite his so-called indiscretions, he still has his marketing deals and no one is really considering cutting them, even if they probably will use the affairs to leverage the rates they pay. But if it had been 11 men? Or even 10 women and 1 man? He'd be out the door faster than a neo-Nazi at a Rufus Wainwright concert.
Within Major League Baseball, only two players have come out and both of them did it well after their careers had ended. They knew that there was just no way that who they were would be accepted. The article linked above notes one particular anecdote that gets right to the heart of the matter:
"In his recently published memoir, Going the Other Way, [Billy] Bean
(not the A's GM) recounts how Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda constantly made homophobic
jokes, even as Lasorda's gay son was dying from AIDS."
The sad thing is, an openly gay baseball player, or even football or basketball player, could go a long way towards helping people become more comfortable with homosexuality. As support for gay marriage has grown in the US, the statistics show that much of that has to do with knowing someone who is gay. When that someone you know is the guy who plays second base for your team, well, that just might have an even bigger impact.
This isn't going to change overnight. Intolerance is a deep-seated problem that takes generations to truly root out. But like it or not, in the same way that athletes are held up as examples and role-models all over the world, our country is also held up as an example all over the world. If we want to criticize Uganda for its inhumane law, we should probably take a look closer to home as well.
3 Comments
I think there are a few more serious issues in the world than those in Uganda in fact I think Uganda has more serious issues than these, but in all fairness Bruno just wasn't as funny as Borat…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
I know of one professional football player who came from my home town who played on a great team in the NFL, but the minute it got out that he perfered men to women…….Things began to happen.
No one ever questioned his odd fashion sense or his tidy demeanor on and off the field,but the usual stereotypes did blossom full force after he announced his sexual preference.
I played against him a few times and consider him an outstanding player not matter what his preferences.
Even though I had to tackle him, there was never a homophobic or even unnatural action that belongs outside the realm of football.
He was a professional on the field, and his own person off the field. One had nothing to do with the other, but society condemned him for the difference to the norm.
Sometimes I think we should be ashamed, not the individuals we shun or embarrass.
Rays Renegade
I thought there were parts of Bruno that were absolutely hilarious. It just didn't have the consistency of Borat and I got bored. But on the larger topic, I was a book publicist when one of the umpires (can't remember his name) wrote a book about being gay and having to hide it while working for MLB. One of these days, a marquee player will come out and if he's a big enough star, it'll change things. Martina Navratilova finally got endorsement deals. It just took awhile.

Low voter turnout a bad omen for state
Low voter turnout last fall in West Virginia should come as no surprise. Neither should the fact that fewer than one in four young voters went to the polls. That does not make the numbers any less distressing, however.
Our state had the lowest participation rate in the nation during the November general election, the Census Bureau reported this week. West Virginia was the only state in which fewer than 50 percent of registered voters went to the polls.
But the Census Bureau had even worse news: Fewer than 23 percent of Mountain State registered voters ages 18-24 cast ballots last fall. That was the lowest participation rate of any age group, anywhere.
Again, neither figure is surprising. One major factor in low voter turnout here was President Barack Obama's presence at the top of the ballot in November. Obama is wildly unpopular in West Virginia, with good reason.
His assault on the coal industry, his moves toward socialism, his growth of government and his general attitude toward people like West Virginians has made the president one of the most disliked politicians in memory in our state.
Many West Virginia voters simply saw no reason to go to the polls last fall. As staunch Democrats, they could not bring themselves to vote for Republican Mitt Romney for president – but they also could not stomach Obama. So many simply stayed home.
Obama's strength among young voters was impressive in most other states. But here, the low turnout among one of his core constituencies spoke volumes about his policies.
What is distressing is that so many Mountain State registered voters did not recognize there were many important reasons other than the presidential election to go to the polls last November. Local and state elections were, in some ways, more important than the presidency.
Clearly, many people did not – and, as evidence from other elections indicates, do not – understand that.
When fewer than one in four young West Virginians recognize the importance of influencing local and state governments, we have a serious problem in our state. The situation does not bode well for the future.
Clearly, much more needs to be done to get young residents of our state involved in politics. If the current trend of apathy persists, the future in West Virginia will be bleak.

Last year, 33 children in the United States died due to hyperthermia after being left in a hot vehicle.
Twenty years ago, it was rare but with the safety recommendation of moving children to the backseat, children are more easily forgotten.
Children's bodies warm at a rate three to five times faster than an adult.
Heatstroke occurs when a person's temperature exceeds 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
A body temperature of 107 degrees Fahrenheit is considered lethal.
Vehicles become hot very fast.
After 10 minutes, a vehicle is 19 degrees hotter.
After 20 minutes, a vehicle is 29 degrees hotter.
After 30 minutes, a vehicle is 34 degrees hotter.
After 1 to 2 hours, a vehicle is 45-50 degrees hotter.
Be sure all occupants leave the vehicle when unloading
Place your purse or briefcase in the back of the car so you won't forget your child.
"Look before you leave" your vehicle
Have a plan with your child care provider to call you if your child does not show up as planned
Keep keys and remote entry devices away from children and always lock vehicle doors
Teach children not to play in or around vehicles
If you see a child alone in a car, call 911 immediately
Knock on the window -- if the child is sleeping or groggy, yell for help to break the car window and get the child out of the car

Your bones are constantly changing. Old bone continuously breaks down and is replaced by new. When you're young, your body makes bone fast enough to replace what's lost. This helps you reach your peak bone mass, the point at which your bones are strongest.
At about age 30 (if you're a woman; later, if you're a man), you start to lose bone mass faster than your body can replace it, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This increases your risk for osteoporosis, a disease that causes bones to become less dense. This makes them weak and more vulnerable to breaks. The disease affects 10 million Americans, 8 million of whom are women.
Men begin to catch up to women in rate of bone loss as they age. By ages 65 to 70, men and women lose bone at the same rate, the NIH says. And the ability to absorb calcium, which is important for bone health, decreases for both men and women. Women's bone loss is tied to menopause and the lack of estrogen; for men, osteoporosis is often caused by medications used to treat asthma and rheumatoid arthritis; low levels of testosterone; alcohol abuse; smoking; gastrointestinal diseases that interfere with the body's ability to absorb nutrients; losing too much calcium through the urine; or lack of mobility.
Helping your bones
You can help prevent osteoporosis by including enough calcium in your diet and exercising regularly. Like muscles, bones are living tissue, and exercise makes them stronger. In fact, studies have shown that exercise even may help generate new bone in older adults. Two types of exercise can help build bones:
• Weight-bearing exercises. When your feet and legs bear all of your weight -- as they do when you're walking -- your muscles and bones become stronger because they're working against gravity. Jogging, climbing stairs, dancing, hiking and sports such as tennis, basketball and soccer can benefit your bones, too. Swimming and bicycling are good ways to exercise your heart and lungs, but they don't strengthen your bones because they're not weight-bearing exercises.
• Resistance exercises. Also known as strength training, these types of activities use your muscles to pull or push against something to build bone and muscle strength. Free-weights, weight machines and other fitness tools such as elastic bands, or weights designed to be used in a pool are often used for strength training. To avoid possible injury, be sure to learn the proper techniques for the activity you're doing. Many gyms offer classes, or you can work with a trainer.
In addition to exercise, men and women should make sure they get adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D; avoid smoking; use alcohol moderately; and talk to their health care provider to find out if any prescribed medications increase bone loss.
Tips to get started
Talk with your health care provider before beginning any exercise program. This is especially important if you have a chronic condition such as heart disease. If you're a woman older than age 65, your provider may recommend a bone mineral density test to screen for osteoporosis. You may need to be tested earlier if you have other risk factors. If you have osteoporosis, your provider may advise you to avoid certain activities and suggest medication to help slow bone loss.

(NBC News) Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev was buried outside of Worchester, Massachusetts Thursday.
The body had been held for more than a week because no nearby cemetery would accept the it.
Meanwhile, photos of the four who were killed in the bombing hung on Capitol Hill at the first Congressional hearing on the attack.
Former Senator Joe Lieberman said Homeland Security failed.
"I believe, that though it might not have been easy, it was possible to have prevented the terrorist attacks in Boston," Lieberman said.
The Los Angeles Times revealed a warning was made five days before the attack that the marathon finish line was vulnerable to a bombing by the Boston Regional Intelligence Center.
The report said the FBI identified no specific suspects.

Man accused of 'body slam' in domestic assault
BARRE — A Granite City man is facing a charge of strangling a woman and slamming her to the ground.
Devin W. Lynch, 24, pleaded not guilty to felony aggravated domestic assault in Washington County criminal court Monday. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 15 years in prison and a $25,000 fine.
According to the police affidavit, Lynch got upset with the woman Wednesday, grabbed her by the throat and "body slammed" her to the ground, sending her to the hospital.
The woman told police Lynch grabbed her throat so hard that she could not breathe and also had injuries to her right leg and foot. She said Lynch had strangled her in the past to the point where she was in fear for her life.
A police officer said he saw bruises on her right thigh and foot, which the woman said were from the altercation. Police said Lynch had fled from the scene before their arrival.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON The House on Thursday cleared bills to keep the government running through April and...

One of the most stressful tasks in preparing for Peace Corps service is deciding what to pack and what to leave behind. Generally, packing involves a gradual whittling process as more and more items shift from the "Necessities" pile to the "If There's Room..." pile. The following list has been compiled by Volunteers currently serving in Jordan, based on their experience. There is no perfect list! Please use it as a guide, bearing in mind that experience is individual and tastes differ. Do not try to bring everything on this list; consider only those items that make sense to you personally. Peace Corps will not reimburse you for overweight baggage. Remember, you can get everything you will really need, and most of what you will really want, here in Jordan.
General Clothing
Dress is more conservative and formal than you might think and suggestions from recently arrived Volunteers are listed below. Your appearance is very important as a sign of respect and your effectiveness can be influenced by how you present yourself. Both men and women are expected to look "sharp" with clothes clean and unwrinkled. It gets quite cold in the winter and there is no central heating in the centers or schools. Dressing in layers is key! Any additional clothing you may need is readily available in-country at retail and second-hand shops. However, good quality cotton underwear is generally expensive and hard to find. Laundry facilities are limited, so clothing that can be easily washed by hand and air dried is a good choice. You can wear the same things repeatedly, so pack lightly!
Both men and women
- A warm coat, as well as a lightweight, waterproof jacket
- At least two heavy wool sweaters so that you have one to wear while the other is in the wash or drying
- Silk or cotton thermal underwear—they pack tightly and are quick drying. They can also double as sleeping outfits during the winter
- Scarves for warmth
- Turtlenecks
- Jeans; a pair or two
- Wool socks
- A bathing suit (Women should bring shorts and T-shirt to wear over their suit. Men's bathing suits should be baggy, knee-length)
- Summer hats
- Knitted hat, gloves or mittens
- Loosely tailored pants or khakis and lined pants for winter
- One dressier outfit (for women, either pants or long skirt; for men, a sports jacket/blazer and dress slacks plus a tie) and dress shoes. These will be worn for the occaisional official reception, swearing-in ceremony, and other important functions.
Suggestions for Women
Covering up is important and may feel strange at first, but neatness and appropriate dress will enhance your credibility and smooth your integration. All clothing must be loose fitting for comfort and modesty, but still look neat.
- Shirts/blouses: Any top worn on the outside needs to be thigh-length (in other words, covering your behind), loose (masking your shape); and long sleeved. Layers can extend your wardrobe and keep you warmer in winter. Collars or high necklines are important; do not bring anything sheer or opaque (really check yourself in the mirror)
- Dresses/skirts: must be long enough to cover the ankle; side slits must be sewn up
- Pants: loose and long enough to cover the ankle
- Short-sleeved or tank tops only to wear under long-sleeved tops
- Lightweight, long-sleeved jackets for wearing over short-sleeved shirts
- A few pairs of black slacks
- A long cotton slip
- Tights (hard to find here), dress socks, and knee-high stockings (preferably black)
Suggestions for Men
- Tie, belt, dress socks
- Nice short-sleeved dress shirts for summer months
- Professional-looking jacket for warmth and also for the workplace Shoes
- Comfortable, nice dress shoes for work (closed toe; black is best; avoid suede shoes due to dust and scuffing)
- Sturdy sandals
- All-purpose shoes (something to walk, run, bike, or hike in)
- Flip-flops or slipper sandals for use in the bathroom (can be purchased cheaply in Jordan)
Note: When you enter a person's house, you normally take off your shoes. Bring shoes that are easy to put on and take off.
Exercise Clothing
Once settled at site, some Volunteers participate in individual and organized sports. You should bring modest exercise clothes, including sweatpants and sleeved shirts. Do not expect to wear running shorts and tank tops as exercise apparel.
- A lightweight towel and washcloth (travel towel is good)
- Decorations for your house (pictures, maps, etc.)
- At least 12 passport-size photos (inexpensive kind available in portable photo booths are adequate). You will need them for your Peace Corps identification, obtaining visas to other countries, medical charts, and the Jordanian residence permit
- Good-quality backpack for travel, as well as a smaller daypack
- Baseball, football, Frisbee, hackeysack, or travel games such as Uno
- Camera (film and processing are readily available, but Volunteers recommend bringing a supply of film)
- Sewing items (iron-on mending tape, straight and safety pins, etc.)
- Rechargeable batteries and recharger (with power converter)
- Pocket calculator (preferably solar-powered)
- Small, battery-powered alarm clock or wristwatch
- Duct tape (can be bought in Amman, but costly)
- Compact sleeping bag
- A few good books, which can be traded at or donated to the Volunteer book exchange 106
- Family photographs (screen these for appropriateness to Jordanian culture. For example, photos of beach scenes with minimally clothed people or scenes with alcohol consumption will be viewed as inappropriate by many Jordanians) Maybe get them laminated because they'll be passed around a lot!
- U.S. stamps (for sending mail via anyone traveling to U.S.)
- Swiss Army, Leatherman, or an equivalent multipurpose knife
- Favorite stove-top recipes and cookbook (Peace Corps provides a stove top, but not an oven, although it can be purchased separately)
- Journal, diary, or schedule book
- Jump rope, yoga mat, round ball, or any small and light exercise equipment (as an alternative to jogging, which may not be a viable option)
- Small, retractable tape measure
- Items such as scotch tape, scissors, crayons, and markers for teachers (you can buy lower quality here)
- Polarized sunglasses
- Travel guides of countries you'll want to visit during vacation
- Measuring cups, spoons, etc.
- One or two sets of double-sized bed sheets and pillow cases
- Pocket-size dictionary and thesaurus
- Maps (good for wall hangings and traveling)
- Money belt or other means of concealing passport and valuables when traveling
- Favorite music CDs or tapes
Personal Hygiene and Toiletry Items
Many imported items (L'Oreal, Neutrogena, Nivea, Colgate, Tampax, Always, etc.) are widely available, but they are expensive relative to your Volunteer living allowance. Contact lens solution is also available, but expensive. Tampons are available, but very expensive. If you plan to use them, it is not a bad idea to bring a good supply.
If you wear contact lenses and use regular saline solution, you can buy bags of saline (like those used in IV's) at any pharmacy. This is much cheaper than actual contact lens solution. Just be sure to keep a bottle so you can refill it with the bagged solution.
- Makeup (the quality here is okay; if you are picky, pack it)
- Scissors or other hair-cutting device. Every group seems to have at least one person who can cut hair, but you need good scissors to do so
- Three-month supply of any prescription medications
If you plan to bring any small appliances, such as hair dryers, electric shavers, or contact lens disinfecters, get a voltage converter. The power is adequate for laptop computers with AC/ DC adapters. CD/cassette players can be purchased in Jordan, but are slightly more expensive than in the U.S. If you choose to bring one, make sure you have a voltage converter since batteries are expensive. Hairdryers and irons are readily available.
- Radio with shortwave and medium-wave (A decent shortwave radio will pick up VOA, BBC, and the Jordanian English station)
- Laptop computer. Bring one at your own risk. Power surges are common, so bring a good surge protector.
Get personal insurance; Peace Corps does not insure/ replace personal items
- Discman with speakers. This can be bought here, but it may make your plane ride more pleasant if you pack it

Hawaiian Airlines plans to start non-stop service from Honolulu to China beginning next year and will eliminate service to Manila over the summer.
The airline said Wednesday the flights from Honolulu to Beijing are expected to start on April 16, 2014. That's if they're approved by regulators in the United States and China.
The new service is expected to run three times a week.
This would be Hawaiian Airlines 10th new international destination since November 2010.
The Hawaii Tourism Authority says the new service is expected to produce $81 million in annual visitor spending and $8.47 million in tax revenue for Hawaii.
Hawaiian Airlines says it is discontinuing non-stop service to Manila due to underperformance. Chief Commercial Officer Peter Ingram says high fuel prices and low fares hurt the route.

The legal battle between the Town of Tusten and Ned Lang was not "an ongoing legal battle between Lang and the town attorney, Jeffrey Clemente, over a pro-gas drilling sign."
These actions filed with the Justice Court were on behalf of the town, not the town attorney, and were not over a "pro-gas drilling sign." They were over an oversized political sign. The message on the sign is irrelevant to the zoning violation.
The article then went on to state that "Mr. Clemente wants to hit me with a $92,000 fine for a sign... that was two square foot bigger than the law allows." I have never taken a position as to fines concerning the Lang cases, even when asked. That decision is a board decision.
The $92,000 representation is a fiction, as was the statement by Mr. Lang that the offending signs were "two square foot bigger than the law allows." The law allows a four-square-foot sign. Therefore Mr. Lang's assertion was that his signs were six square feet. In fact, his three offending signs were 29.25 square feet, 32 square feet and 64 square feet. The assertion that these signs were six square feet is shameless.
Further, it is irresponsible for this newspaper to be quoting law from an individual who is a septic pumper with a high school diploma stating conclusions of law such as "conflict of interest" and "selective enforcement," when he is not schooled in law, nor has he the expertise or legal knowledge upon which to base the legal conclusions that he constantly asserts.
Mr. Mayer has shown a lack of proper journalistic standards by failing to fact check the article. As in the past with Mr. Mayer, the tone of this article is decidedly anti-town. This is remarkable, in light of the fact that Ned Lang ran against The River Reporter in his run for the post of town councilman asserting that a vote for Andrea Reynosa was a vote to have The River Reporter run the town.
Responsible journalism is expected from The River Reporter, not tabloid carelessness and the unnecessary stoking of useless and unproductive controversy.
It is expected by the undersigned and all responsible people of the Town of Tusten that the coming year will bring better behavior from both The River Reporter and Mr. Mayer.
