S1. Climate Change in Space and Time.
P. Thompson Davis, Bentley Univ.; David Gilliken, Union College; Donald Rodbell, Union College.
Human-induced climate change is superimposed on myriad natural climate changes on a variety of spatial and temporal scales. Proxy-based reconstructions of past environmental and climatic change provide critical data for assessing current and future environmental and climatic conditions. This symposium will examine the history of climate and environmental change recorded in continuous physical, chemical, and biologic proxy records. The development of new proxy indicators of global change will also be considered. We seek oral and poster presentations that address any aspect of climate change, not necessarily restricted to northeastern North America.
S2. History of Geology in the Northeast: A Symposium to Mark the 125th Anniversary of the Geological Society of America.
Noel Potter, Dickinson College; Woodrow Thompson, Maine Geological Survey.
This symposium will examine the history of geology in the Northeastern U. S. and adjacent Canada. Topics will include the evolution of concepts in various subject areas including bedrock and glacial geology, and the legacies of persons or institutions whose research had far-reaching importance. We will also explore the impact of geology on art, tourism, and possibly other cultural connections. Some presentations will be invited, but volunteered talks or posters will also be welcome for consideration.
S3. The Northern Appalachians: What Have We Learned in the Past 40 Years? A Symposium in Honor of J. Christopher Hepburn
Yvette Kuiper, Colorado School of Mines; Doug Rankin, USGS (retired); Paul Karabinos, Williams College.
Through bedrock mapping, petrology, geochemistry and related methods, Chris Hepburn and his students have contributed to our understanding of the geology of the northern Appalachians over the past 40 years, since the general acceptance of plate tectonics. This symposium focuses on developments in our understanding of plate tectonic processes in the northern Appalachians.
Topical Sessions
T1. Paleoenvironmental Records in the Northeast from the late Pleistocene to the Anthropocene.
Michael Retelle, Bates College; Tim Cook, Worcester State Univ.; Andrea Lini, Univ. of Vermont.
Paleoenvironmental records provide insight into the range and causes of natural climate and landscape variability and provide the needed context for assessing the impacts of recent human activity. This session seeks long-term records of climate and environmental change in the Northeast USA and surrounding areas with the goal of providing a long-term perspective on recent anthropogenic impacts. Studies utilizing a wide range of proxies including those focusing on lake sediments, tree rings, and other paleoenvironmental archives are encouraged.
T2. Lakes as Sentinels for Climate Change: Monitoring and Sedimentary Records at the Junction of Paleo and Modern Limnology.
Lisa Doner, Plymouth State Univ.; Craig E. Williamson, Miami Univ.
Monitoring lake conditions from buoy-based sensors is an increasingly effective approach for detecting climate change and impact of high magnitude events on lake condition over the past 150 years. For example, the passage of Tropical Storm Irene through New England was clearly recorded in the Lake Sunapee, NH buoy data (http://www.lakesunapee.org/templates/details.html?x=251). These efforts closely complement those of paleolimnologists using sediment traps and varves to reconstruct very high resolution processes, such as individual storms, floods and droughts events. This session invites limnologists involved in lake monitoring and paleolimnologists with high-resolution data sets to present their methodologies and results, especially as they relate to interpretation of climate trends and the impact of events on lake processes. This session aims to create a forum for sharing insights and methods about specific lake responses to climate.
T3. Salt Marsh Ecogeomorphology.
Beverly Johnson, Bates College; Kristin Wilson, Allegheny College; Susan Adamowicz, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Salt marshes provide a host of important ecosystem services, such as organic matter production and nutrient cycling, coastline protection, carbon sequestration, and providing habitat for juvenile fish. Yet, they are highly vulnerable to human activity, sea-level rise, and climate change. In this session, we seek papers that explore the interactions between humans and/or the physical, geological, hydrological and ecological processes within salt marshes.
T4. Nearshore and Coastal Processes and Environments in the Northeast.
Joseph Kelly; Univ. of Maine; Daniel Belknap, Univ. of Maine.
Our coastal zone is crowded with a growing population and at the same time threatened by storms and a rising sea. This session seeks oral and poster presentations on contemporary coastal and nearshore processes and depositional environments, including work that connects human activities with coastal landforms.
T5. Critical Zone Processes.
Amada Albright Olsen, Univ. of Maine; Andrew S. Reeve, Univ. of Maine; Sean M.C. Smith, Univ. Maine.
The Critical Zone is a term adopted by the science community used to describe the life-sustaining outer zone of the Earth from the vegetation canopy down to and through ground water systems. We solicit abstracts that explore the intersections between hydrology, geochemistry, geomorphology, and biology near the Earths surface. Topics related to chemical and physical weathering, soil production, groundwater pathways, surface flows, erosion and the flux of carbon, nutrients, and sediment in modern catchments are encouraged. We also invite contributions that focus on the role of humans in Critical Zone processes, including the implications of their activities to modern landscape characteristics and dynamics.
T6. State and Fate of Urban Watersheds in the Northeast.
Jonathan R. Gourley, Trinity College; Suzanne O'Connell, Wesleyan Univ.
Urbanization, increased impervious surfaces, and storm water runoff have had, and will continue to have, serious impacts on many watersheds throughout the northeastern U.S. and adjoining parts of Canada. This session invites research that focuses on the environmental issues that currently face urban watersheds from a variety of disciplines, including but not limited to geochemistry, hydrology, toxicology, geomorphology, and watershed modeling.
T7. Naturally Occurring Contaminants in Groundwater Used for Water Supply in the Northeastern United States.
Joseph D. Ayotte, USGS; Yan Zheng, Queens College, CUNY, and LDEO, Columbia Univ.
The role of arsenic and other elements in drinking water that are harmful to humans continues to unfold. This session brings together researchers that have new findings related to the occurrence, controls, and implications of trace elements in groundwater used for water supply in the Northeastern USA. We are seeking presentations from the local to regional scale that may affect the way we think of and deal with the natural contaminant problems in groundwater. We encourage presentations that address issues related to drinking water supplies that are affected in some ways by these contaminants, whether entirely natural or enhanced by anthropogenic activities.
T8. Naturally Occurring and Synthetic Fibers including Nanofibers and Nanotubes.
Brooke T. Mossman, Univ. of Vermont; Catherine W. Skinner, Yale Univ.
The goal of this session is to understand the mechanisms of toxicity and disease by naturally occurring fibers including various amphiboles, erionite, crystalline and amorphous fibers observed naturally or produced in industry, and nanofibers. The presenters will include both mineralogists and biologists to allow integration of the chemistry and mineralogy of these fiber types with what is known about their disease potential with an emphasis on epidemiology, pathology and molecular effects.
T9. Geomorphic Impacts of Tropical Storm Irene.
Frank Magilligan, Dartmouth College; Shane Csiki, New Hampshire Geological Survey.
Tropical Storm Irene struck New England on 28 August 2011, took 44 lives in 13 states, caused over $7 billion of damage, dumped up to 11 inches of rain in parts of Vermont, and set historic records for stream and river discharge. We solicit presentations, oral or posters, on fluvial, hillslope/landslides, and coastal impacts from Tropical Storm Irene, as well as recovery and remediation efforts.
T10. Glacial History of the New England–Canadian Border Region.
Woodrow Thompson, Maine Geological Survey; Michel Lamothe, Univ. du Québec à Montréal.
This theme session will address the glacial history of northern New England and adjacent parts of Québec, New Brunswick, and the Lake Champlain region (NY-VT). We invite volunteered talks or posters covering a broad spectrum of topics related to the glacial geology of the region. These may include - but are not limited to - the sequence and chronology of glaciation, ice sheet reconstruction, geochemical dispersal in glacial sediments, meltwater routing, glacial lakes, and the development of our present understanding of the glacial stratigraphy. Presentations linking studies on both sides of the international border are especially welcome.
T11. Dates and Rates: Two Decades of Cosmogenic Studies in Eastern North America, the Canadian Arctic, and Greenland.
Paul R. Bierman, Univ. of Vermont; Lee Corbett, Dartmouth College; Meredith Kelly, Dartmouth College.
Over the last several decades, the application of cosmogenic nuclides in eastern North America, the adjacent Canadian Arctic, and Greenland has provided both specific chronologies and a better understanding of the distribution and effectiveness of glacial and weathering processes. For this session, we encourage both the presentation of new results and compilations of existing cosmogenic nuclide data that help us better understand the comings and goings of ice sheets as well as the processes that change North American and arctic landscapes.
T12. Unconventional Natural Gas Plays in the Eastern U.S. and Canada with Emphasis on the Marcellus Shale and Potential Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing.
Brett McLaurin, Bloomsburg Univ. of Pennsylvania; Cynthia Venn, Bloomsburg Univ. of Pennsylvania.
The Marcellus Shale has proven to be a significant unconventional natural gas resource in the Eastern U.S. This session seeks both oral and poster presentations to discuss the present knowledge of the geology of the Marcellus Shale and other tight gas formations and the potential future impacts of hydraulic fracturing and waste disposal on groundwater and surface water resources.
T13. Bridging the Curriculum Divide: Using Geophysical Data and Field Methods in Undergraduate Courses to Anchor Theory and Application.
Sean Cornell, Shippensburg Univ.; Joe Zume, Shippensburg Univ.
Simplifications in equipment design and the availability of interpretation software have made it easier to introduce diverse geochemical and geophysical technologies into undergraduate coursework in the geosciences. The goal of this session is to provide a forum for sharing approaches that have allowed successful integration of (or are attempting to integrate) geochemical, geophysical, or other advanced geotechnologies and data into diverse undergraduate courses. We invite presentations that highlight ways in which geotechnologies are being used to engage undergraduate students in geoscience coursework to enhance learning. Papers focusing on intro-level, upper-level, and multi-disciplinary approaches to curriculum integration are encouraged, as are papers that demonstrate educational outcomes that bridge different disciplines. Similarly, papers that demonstrate the use of geochemical or geophysical methods or data, to provide service-learning opportunities for students are also encouraged. Presentations may also include outcome assessment, impact on recruitment and retention of students in geoscience disciplines.
T14. Natural and Induced Seismic Hazards in Intraplate Regions.
John E. Ebel, Weston Observatory, Boston College; Margaret Boettcher, Univ. of New Hampshire.
This session explores the latest observations and analyses of natural and induced earthquakes in intraplate regions and the hazards that those seismic events pose in populated areas. Recent seismic events in 2011, such as the M5.8 earthquake in Mineral, VA (a natural earthquake), the M5.6 earthquake near Shawnee, OK (probably an induced earthquake), and the M4.0 Youngstown, OH earthquake (an induced earthquake), demonstrate the natural and induced seismic hazard in the eastern U.S. This session seeks presentations on past occurrences and future possibilities of such seismic events.
T15. Past, Present and Future Mining in the Northeast USA and Adjacent Canada.
Jeri L. Jones, Jones Geological Services; Brian Skinner, Yale Univ.
wide variety of geology in the region, an assortment of mineral resources has been removed. If it is from the pegmatites in New England, important zinc resources in New York, nickel and chromium ores of Pennsylvania and Maryland, or future plays such as rare earth minerals, we seek both oral and posters presentations to highlight these resources.
T16. Rheological Information from Structures and Microstructures.
Chris Gerbi, Univ. of Maine; Scott Johnson, Univ. of Maine.
Advances in understanding the rheological behavior of Earth's crust and mantle come in part from deformation experiments, but also from field, analytical, and modeling studies of naturally-occurring structures and microstructures. Over several decades, compilation of these studies has led to a working picture of crust/mantle rheology in need of refining. We seek contributions that use any of the above methods to explain naturally-occurring structures and microstructures in a rheological context. Contributions can relate to any lithospheric level and focus on, for example, empirical observations of competency contrasts, methods for quantifying material properties, causes of strain partitioning, or factors that influence rheological change.
T18. Mesozoic Igneous Features of Northeastern North America: Magmatic Origins and Links to Tectonic Events.
J. Gregory McHone, Grand Manan, New Brunswick, Canada; John H. Puffer, Rutgers Univ.; G. Nelson Eby, UMass-Lowell.
Several great magmatic events in northeastern North America are recorded by overlapping provinces of Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous dikes, sills, lavas, and plutonic complexes. They provide clues for the origins of mantle basalts, crustal melting, differentiation of magmas, formation of composite volcanoes, and major fissure eruptions with their environmental impacts. In addition the magmatic events are linked to specific tectonic features and Early Mesozoic rift basins of Pangaea as it separated into new continents and opened the Atlantic Ocean. We invite presentations on both specific features and more general models to describe and explain the origins and significance of these Mesozoic magmas and events.
T20. The New England–Canadian Bedrock and Tectonic Connections.
Keith Klepeis, Univ. of Vermont; John Kim, Vermont Geological Survey.
This session seeks to highlight research that helps to resolve the similarities and differences in the tectonic evolution of the New England and Canadian segments of the northern Appalachians. Contributions that aim to resolve a tectonic problem using various approaches, including elements of structural geology, petrology, geochronology and other fields, are encouraged.
T21. Metamorphic Petrology and Thermodynamic Modeling: Progress and Practice.
Kurt Hollocher, Union College; Matt Manon, Union College.
The past 50 years has seen metamorphic petrology change from basic descriptions to the widespread use of thermodynamic models. Models have grown from simple geothermometers and barometers, to calculating phase relations across P-T-X space. With new capabilities come new insights and opportunities, but also the same old problems: interpreting both the rocks and the model results. This session will cover modern metamorphic petrology in all its forms as a key to understand geologic processes and problems. Topics can include but are not limited to: interpreting mineral textures and compositions, P-T estimates and P-T-t paths, partial melting, mineral zoning and metamorphic reactions, fluid-rock interactions, mountain belt evolution, modeling pitfalls and limitations, and new directions.
T22. Innovations in Geoscience Education and Research Using Google Earth and Related Digital Technologies.
Steve Whitmeyer, James Madison Univ.; Declan De Paor, Old Dominion Univ.
This oral session will focus on innovative ways that Google Earth and related digital technologies can be used to enhance student learning and promote effective presentation of geoscience research results. Speakers are encouraged to present innovative models using modern digital techniques such as digital maps, virtual field trips, inquiry-based hands-on explorations, games, scaffolded learning experiences, social media, adaptive technology, augmented reality, simulations, and animations.
T23. Getting The Work Done: State Geological Surveys; Partnering and Progress.
Robert Marvinny, Maine Geological Survey; Laurence Becker, Vermont Geological Survey; Jonathan Kim, Vermont Geological Survey; Rick Chormann, New Hampshire Geological Survey.
To serve the needs of the citizens of the Northeast, State Geological Surveys assemble resources for projects to provide framework and applied information on a range of geo-science topics. Whether working with survey personnel or integrating with academics, students, and/or contractors, the necessary expertise is brought to bear to address science and applied problems. For this theme session, we seek submissions on applied collaborative research between state surveys and academic geology or contractors on topics such as hydrogeology, groundwater geochemistry, natural hazards, geomorphology, and geothermal issues.
T24. The History of Exhumation in the Appalachians from Orogenic to Glacial Rebound.
Robert P. Wintsch, Indiana Univ.; Mary Roden-Tice, SUNY-Plattsburgh.
We would like to invite submissions to a theme session on exhumation rates, dates, and T-t paths in the northern Appalachians. The application of 40Ar/39Ar thermochronometers has expanded to allow us to identify Paleozoic exhumation in response to orogenic processes, and syn-exhumation structures. Apatite fission track studies have taken this story into the Mesozoic to reveal reactivation of older faults, and tilting of major crustal blocks. We welcome submissions on any of these processes including lower temperature thermochronometers such as (U-Th)/He and those which record more recent geomorphic exhumation such as cosmogenic isotopes.
T25. Environmental Geochemistry of Contaminants.
Rudolph Hon, Boston College; Melissa Lombard, Keene State College; Douglas Allen, Salem State Univ.
This session seeks abstracts that explore geochemical aspects of natural and/or anthropogenic sources of contaminants in air, sediment, or water systems. A wide range of contaminants may be considered including emerging contaminants such as nanoparticles and personal care products as well as regulated contaminants such as MTBE and PCBs. Naturally occurring contaminants such as lead and mercury are of interest as well. Topics may include characterizing contaminant occurrences plus fate and transport of these contaminants to novel remediation strategies.
T27. The Emerging LiDAR Landscape: Applications of Digital Terrain Data in Research, Mapping, and Design.
Rick Chormann, New Hampshire Geological Survey; Fay Rubin, Univ. of New Hampshire.
Airborne and terrestrial LiDAR technologies have created new opportunities for visualizing and analyzing the physical landscape. High-resolution LiDAR datasets for topographic and bathymetric surfaces are becoming increasingly available in the public domain. As an example, airborne laser swath mapping data were released in 2011 for 9,000 square miles within the coastal region of 7 Northeast states, extending from New York City to Eastport, ME. This theme session will highlight innovative and diverse uses of LiDAR data in geology, hydrology, and engineering.
T28. Connecting Students with Place: Technology-Enhanced Teaching Using Local Resources. Tarin Weiss, Westfield State Univ.; Bruce Rueger, Colby College.
This theme session solicits talks and posters highlighting courses, activities, and/or research using local areas, resources, and/or data for geoscience instruction. The goal of the session is to bring together a rich grouping of practices and ideas that engage students in learning about their communities and regions in engaging relevant ways. Preference for acceptance is toward technology-rich programs (use of real-time data and/or instructional technologies) that enhance and drive the learning experience.
T29. Refining the Iconic New York Devonian: A New Time-Rock Synthesis.
Charles Ver Straeten, New York Geological Survey; Carlton Brett, Univ. of Cincinnati; Gordon Baird, SUNY-Fredonia; D. Jeffrey Over, SUNY-Geneseo.
From the pioneering work of James Hall (1842) and contemporaries to publication of Rickards (1975) Devonian time-rock chart, New Yorks Devonian succession has served as an evolving standard for eastern North American correlations and a major reference for global Devonian studies. Given the application of new stratigraphic approaches such as sequence stratigraphy, event stratigraphy, and chemostratigraphy, changes to the time-rock chart are long overdue. This session will bring together experts toward production of a new Devonian stratigraphic synthesis and time-rock chart for New York.
T30. Ground-Penetrating Radar Investigations for Geologic Formations.
Steven Arcone, U.S. Army ERDC-Cold Regions Research & Engineering Laboratory; Seth Campbell, Climate Change Institute, Univ. of Maine.
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a widespread tool for terrestrial investigations to depths of ~40 meters using a variety of pulse bandwidths. We welcome contributions on the use of GPR to obtain reflection profiles of sedimentary and rock formations, with particular appreciation for discussions of glacial and periglacial deposits, hydrology and bedrock formations, and papers on new technical developments or processing approaches that increase penetration and resolution and improve acquisition techniques.
T31. The New England Legacy of Jim Thompson: Stratigraphy, Tectonics, Phase Petrology, and Crystal Chemistry.
Peter Robinson, Geological Survey of Norway; Charles Burnham, Fort Lewis College and Prof. Emeritus, Harvard Univ.
This Session will assemble colleagues, former students, and friends whose career interests and results were founded on early leadership provided by the late Jim Thompson, a dedicated New England enthusiast, avid skier, and lover of the outdoors. We invite contributions across the entire spectrum of Jims interests and expertise. The Session will consist of 20-minute talks dealing with both new and older science that Jim helped inspire, along with more general remarks about Jims own special contributions to New England geology and beyond. Personal reminiscences are welcome. An informal reception will follow the Session.
T32. Mineral Transformations in the Environment: Geobiological and Geochemical Aspects.
Dawn Cardace, Univ. of Rhode Island; Amanda Olsen, Univ. of Maine; Nishanta Rajakaruna, College of the Atlantic.
Minerals in reaction with their environment yield diverse products that provide micro and macro-scale information about reaction history, conditions, and pathways. Of particular interest are settings in which reducing and oxidizing systems are brought together, providing energy for microbiological activity. We invite contributions that consider how mineral evolution links geology, biology, and chemistry at any scale. Field, experimental, and modeling research problems are welcome.
T33. Watershed Management: BIO-GEO-CHEMICAL Perspectives.
John Rayburn, SUNY New Paltz; Shafiul Chowdhury, SUNY New Paltz.
This session will focus on watershed management studies from a broad range of perspectives. Many recent watershed management and planning efforts have been done through multi-disciplinary approaches. Papers submitted to this session might be from any number of perspectives including: surface and groundwater hydrology, geomorphology, aquatic biology and ecology, water chemistry, remote sensing, subsurface geophysics, geological mapping, watershed modeling, or planning and maintenance practices. Undergraduate papers are strongly encouraged.
T34. Engineering Geology in the 21st Century.
Brad Miller, Haley & Aldrich; Nicholas Strater, Brierly Associates.
This session seeks presentations related to state-of-the-art geotechnical engineering and underground construction practices in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic States, specifically to demonstrate the importance of and reliance on sound geologic characterization and interpretation for engineering challenges and the need for strong geological knowledge in underground engineering, heavy civil construction, hydrogeology, and related consulting fields. The session is not intended to solicit routine environmental industry projects, such as soil and groundwater remediation, shallow site characterization, or challenging regulatory hurdles, unless they involve unique construction approaches requiring specialized geological evaluations. Topics may include: Multi-well Cold Rock Geothermal Systems, Soil/Rock Slope Design/Remediation, Storm Damage Mitigation, Complex Stormwater Infiltration Systems, Trenchless Technology/Horizontal Drilling, and Geotechnical Aspects of Highway, Bridge, or Dam Construction.
T35. The Geomorphic Impact of Hurricane Sandy: Predictions Made, Damage Done, Clean-Up & Mitigation.
David Wunsch, Delaware Geological Survey; Rick Chormann, New Hampshire Geological Survey; Stephen Pollock, Univ. Southern Maine.
This newly organized session will describe and analyze coastal, riverine, and slope impacts generated by Hurricane Sandy from the important point of view of those near its front linesthe regions state geologists and others closely associated with the unprecedented storm. Favored presentations will be preliminary case histories and other similar observation-based talks. Its important to recognize that our meeting occurs too soon after the event for much systematic science to yet be generated, but documenting the storms impacts is the best way to stimulate that sort of science in the months and years ahead. The usual standards and deadline for abstract submission will be relaxed in the interest of time, but abstracts will be carefully reviewed by the conveners before inclusion in the program.

Due to an unfortunate error, my unheralded rise to "MLBlogosphere Immortality" was indeed, miscalculated. According to the revised numbers, I am now sitting at #24 on the current list MLBlogosphere leaders. But, just as I was when I found out I even made the Top 100 the first time, I am still over the moon.

You accounts of the Fantasy camp were great.
Keep on writing, you are the type of person that eventually makes that top spot.
The people with passion and heartfelt remeberances of the game are the ones the fans bond with…you have that in spades (red pinstripes).
Do not let the screamd and rants of a few divert you from eventually taken the seasonal path and writing during the season. I undertsand the passion, the drive and the frustration when people question even a small bit of your truth.
I hope you write more…about Spring Training,about your pitching staff, about CBP.
You caught people's attention, not by the in-fighting of the few, but because you have a great baseball soul.

Again, thank you RR for your incredible comment and, quite possibly, the greatest baseball-related comment I have ever received.
I found and read your blog because of the promotion you got on the front page. I come back because of your writing and the stories you told. Great job and I look forward to reading more during the season.
Thanks so much!

Plastics injection molding components, when they are built the right way, have three big advantages over metal parts—they cost less, are lighter weight, and don't corrode.
Yet it seems some companies that have tried the switch eventually go back to metal, citing two major problems: 1) inconsistent processing and 2) inconsistent dimensions.
When parts are converted from metal to plastic overmolding the processing of the parts has to be done very consistently to maintain the tight tolerances. That can be a challenge for many vendors. Even the slightest changes in factors such as temperature, pressure, melt flow index of material, dryness of material, and machine processing parameters can impact consistency. Perhaps most critically, it is important to see what is happening inside the mold as the parts are being molded using pressure transducers (sensors) and other sophisticated measuring equipment.
Without the ability to properly monitor these factors there will be ongoing quality issues with the processing, parts, and tolerances; it also makes the root cause for any failure very difficult to determine. That's why it is critical to have a robust quality system in place that oversees the process (this is also something customers increasingly expect and demand).
When vendors cannot meet tolerances consistently with plastic parts, this creates additional costs in reworking parts (machining), quality costs to sort or even re-call parts from the field, increased scrutiny from regulatory agencies, and possibly even lawsuits for failures in the field.
It only takes one bad experience with plastic parts to drive a company back to metal. For a successful metal-to-plastic conversion, select an experienced vendor. High-quality tools, proper internal controls on machines, quality systems, and highly skilled engineers are essential to deliver the same kind of quality and tight tolerances that can be produced with metal.

Man accused of using company credit cardAugust 05,2014Man denies misuse
of company card
BENNINGTON A Brandon man is facing criminal charges after his former employer accused him of using a company credit card to buy items for himself.
Troy M. Hale, 19, of Brandon, pleaded innocent on Monday in Bennington criminal court to a misdemeanor charge of using false pretenses to obtain items worth less than $900.
Hale was originally scheduled to answer to the charges in March, but at the time, the state referred the case to the court diversion program. If Hale had successfully completed the program, the charge would have been expunged from his record.
Although no reason was given, court records show that Hales failure to complete diversion was reported on July 2.
In an affidavit, Trooper Lauren Ronan, of Vermont State Police, said the owner of Waterworks, a treatment plant and service company in Sunderland, reported Oct. 16 that Hale had misused a company credit card.
Ronan said that after some investigation, she identified the card was used three times between Sept. 10 and Oct. 1, for purchases that seemed to be outside the allowable uses set by the company. The total amount for those three charges was about $90.
Ronan said the card was used at a convenience store and a fast-food restaurant.
Hale was released without bail on Monday but was ordered not to have contact with Waterworks employees.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont attorney generals office says drug companies have complied with a state...

Freedom New Mexico: Alisa Boswell Portales city officials have made repeated attempts to revive the movie theater in Portales, which closed in 2009, with no success, according to Greg Fisher, executive director of the Roosevelt County Community Development Corp. Some city councilors are now seeking to bring a "Fun Center" to Portales.
Alisa Boswell
City officials agree an entertainment center would be a positive thing for Portales. Opinions are split on how to fund such a project.
Councilor Keith Thomas, who pitched the idea to the city council, proposes it could be funded by a tax hike or bond. Mayor Sharon King believes it should be privately funded.
Both agree the taxpayer-funded option should be decided by voters.
"I don't think the city should fund it, because we have so many other needs that are more critical, such as our water problem, and that truly is a responsibility of our city," King said. "I just feel like there's more important things our public funding should be used for. If we were a community with more money, I wouldn't think twice about it, but we're not."
King said she believes that if it is necessary, the city should just bring one entertainment venue at a time to the community rather than trying to bring several at once.
City officials have attempted to revive the old theater in Portales numerous times without success.
Thomas envisions a center that would include a movie theater, bowling alley, arcade and laser tag.
"Most of what I'm hearing is this would be a great place for family to go to for quality time," Thomas said. "People I've talked to seem excited. It's just amazing the positive responses I've seen to this."
Thomas said he believes Portales residents should know all of the options available to the city to pay for such a project.
"We can raise our taxes one quarter percent and fund the entire operation," Thomas said. "Some of the options we have available are changing the ordinance for LEDA (Local Economic Development Act) money to make sure it's available. There's also the possibility of going out for a bond."
LEDA is a local option fund designed to support economic development in the city limits, according to Roosevelt County Community Development Corp. Executive Director Greg Fisher, who said at this time the fund does not support family entertainment venues.
Portales city officials are exploring a change to the ordinance to include family entertainment, but LEDA would only cover a small part of the cost of an entertainment complex, which Fisher estimates could cost $3 million to $6 million, depending on the size of the center.
"It really depends on whether you can service the debt or not. If you spend $3 million and you're able to get $1 million in donations, that makes a big difference," Fisher said. "The city of Portales has done a great job in using the LEDA fund for economic development. I'm meeting with state finance officials to explore help from them as well. It's definitely possible, if we can overcome all the obstacles and pull together."
Thomas said since other city projects and concerns are funded by the city's annual budget, he does not see the problem with funding this project with tax money.
"I know we face things in our community," Thomas said. "I really think we're looking at doing the right thing here. Water is vital to this community but so are people. This is something we need to improve the quality of life for our citizens."

Barre-Montpelier Road developer has lots of projects in works
BERLIN For the moment its the status quo at one of developer Patrick Malones spring acquisitions on the Barre-Montpelier Road, and anything is possible at the other.
In recent months Malones Montpelier-based real estate investment and development company has snapped up two more properties along the busy commercial strip that runs between central Vermonts two largest cities.
Malone said this week he is still toying with the idea of radically altering one of them even as work on the other is just getting under way.
Malone is keeping his options open when it comes to the vacant 20,000-square-foot cinder block building that once served as a regional headquarters for New England Telephone Co. and more recently was home to a string of small businesses that specialized in oil changes and automotive repairs.
Malone purchased the 2.1-acre property from R&G Properties for $700,000 in late March and followed it up with his mid-May acquisition of the similar-sized Hooker Plaza, which is anchored by Newhouse Furniture. That 2-acre property, which is also home to Barre Electric Supply and an adjacent building that houses the party supply store Rubber Bubbles and a small business that specializes in countertops, was sold by the Newhouse family for $1.6 million slightly more than its assessed value.
Giving the old telephone company building a new look complete with new landscaping is the first order of business, according to Malone, whose newly filed multi-use application with the town leaves the door open to everything from office to retail as he begins gutting a structure that will remain largely intact, but should soon be sporting new siding, a repaired roof and a renovated interior.
If Malone has a tenant or tenants in mind for the building he isnt ready to talk about them. But given the recent revival of the Barre-Montpelier Road, where Panera Bread recently started selling soup-filled bread bowls and a new CVS Pharmacy is now under construction, he isnt worried.
Ive got a couple of very good prospects. Why dont we just leave it at that? he said.
From where Malone sits you can never have enough strategically located square footage, whether its along the Barre-Montpelier Road in Berlin, the Shelburne Road in Shelburne, where one of his tenants is Newhouse Furniture, or Dorset Street in South Burlington, where hes in the process of obtaining permits necessary to pave the way for construction of one of Trader Joes specialty foods stores.
Neither of the two new Berlin projects is on that scale, and Malone said one of them what to do with the Hooker Plaza hasnt fully come into focus. He said he has flirted with the possibility of razing both structures and starting from scratch, but isnt sure he wants incur the expense of flood-proofing whatever he builds.
That said, according to Malone, there arent many inexpensive fixes to a building with ceilings that are a few feet lower than is optimal when it comes to modern retail space.
I can cure a lot of things, but I cant cure low ceilings, he said.
Malone said one option he has considered is building two new structures on the site, and having soon-to-be-renovated square footage available just up the road could come in handy if he needs to juggle tenants.
We may have to offer part of that (old telephone building) up for replacement space, either short- or long-term, he said.
According to Malone, phasing construction of the two new buildings if he elects to go that route could allow one or more of the existing tenants to remain where they are and then move into the new building once it is finished.
Weve got some options, but the idea is to accommodate the tenants that are there, he said.
Malone said he hopes to complete both projects this year.
It isnt the first time Malone has gone real estate shopping on the Barre-Montpelier Road. In 1998 his company acquired the rundown truck garage and storage facility that he transformed into the tasteful building that is now home to Harrys Pharmacy, the Computer Barn and two other commercial spaces. He subsequently acquired the property that is home to Windshield World and Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and last year he bought an old muffler repair shop and converted it into a spacious new home for Verizon Wireless.
Though Malone has purchased and redeveloped properties around the state, he said he particularly enjoys working in central Vermont.
Its close to home, he said.

Cytochrome C Oxidase Deficiency
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Cytochrome C Oxidase Deficiency is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
- complex IV deficiency
- COX deficiency
- deficiency of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex IV
General Discussion
Cytochrome C Oxidase deficiency is a very rare inherited metabolic disorder characterized by deficiency of the enzyme cytochrome C oxidase (COX), or Complex IV, an essential enzyme that is active in the subcellular structures that help to regulate energy production (mitochondria). Deficiency of COX may be limited (localized) to the tissues of the skeletal muscles or may affect several tissues, such as the heart, kidney, liver, brain, and/or connective tissue (fibroblasts); in other cases, the COX deficiency may be generalized (systemic).
Four distinct forms of Cytochrome C Oxidase deficiency have been identifed. The first form of this disorder is known as COX deficiency, benign infantile mitochondrial myopathy. Affected infants exhibit many of the same symptoms as those with the more severe infantile form of the disease; however, because the COX deficiency is limited (localized) to tissues of the skeletal muscles, they typically do not have heart or kidney dysfunction.
In the second type of the disease, known as COX deficiency, infantile mitochondrial myopathy, because the COX deficiency affects tissues of the skeletal muscles as well as several other tissues, the disorder may be characterized by a generalized weakness of skeletal muscles (myotonia), abnormalities of the heart and kidneys, and/or abnormally high levels of lactic acid in the blood (lactic acidosis). De Toni-Fanconi-Debre syndrome may also be present and may include excessive thirst, excessive urination, and excessive excretion of glucose, phosphates, amino acids, bicarbonate, calcium and water in the urine.
The third form of COX deficiency, known as Leigh's disease (subacute necrotizing encephalomyelopathy), is thought to be a generalized (systemic) form of COX deficiency. Leigh's disease is characterized by progressive degeneration of the brain and dysfunction of other organs of the body including the heart, kidneys, muscles, and liver. Symptoms may include loss of previously acquired motor skills, loss of appetite, vomiting, irritability, and/or seizure activity. As Leigh's disease progresses, symptoms may also include generalized weakness; loss of muscle tone (hypotonia); and/or episodes of lactic acidosis.
In the fourth form of COX deficiency, known as COX deficiency French-Canadian type, the COX deficiency affects tissues of the skeletal muscles, connective tissue, and, in particular, the brain (Leigh's disease) and the liver. Affected infants and children may demonstrate developmental delays, diminished muscle tone (hypotonia), crossing of the eyes (strabismus), Leigh's disease, and/or episodes of lactic acidosis.
Most cases of COX deficiency are inherited as autosomal recessive genetic diseases. Rarely, COX deficiency occurs as the result of a new or inherited abnormality (mutation) in a mitochondrial gene.

The first time I attended Philippine Fashion Week a couple of years ago, I hadn't started blogging yet, but I was already granted a front row seat since I was writing a review for a major daily broadsheet. Though not everybody was dressed up for the shows, it was a bit daunting to sit face-to-face with some cliques of the local fashion industry.
Early on in the week's schedule, I noticed a distinct pair, always together, whose outfits always stood out from the crowd.
Eventually I got to know them as Daryl and Andre Chang, actual siblings! Daryl is now the Fashion Editor of Preview, a local magazine, and Andre is a designer for Folded & Hung, a local clothing label. It is not hard to surmise that they are often the source of each other's inspiration.
I posted a photo of them in a previous post, Style in Manila. I find it amazing that they both manage to reinvent themselves each time I see them at the bi-annual event.
I come up to them and not only do they have different hairstyles, they also occupy a different decade, mixing in various influences in between.
I also admire how they adamantly support local talent, being stylists and designers themselves, but in a way that doesn't compromise their own vision of the present moment: the place that each of them inhabits as individuals interpreting the zeitgeist.

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

Rated 4.8 out of 5Â by 11 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Toasty in the mountains My second set of thinskins A few years ago I treated myself to this top and the bottoms as well. I was so pleased with the quality of the fabric and the construction that I recently ordered another set. They are very comfy for sleeping in and don't add alot of bulk under clothes when I want a little extra warmth during the day. January 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Luci 814 Great top. This is a very cozy and well-made top. I like it alot and it's great for layering. January 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Luann COLD-BLOODED MOM My mom has always been cold-natured. She hates winter. Now that she is 82, she can't seem to get warm even if the house is 80 degrees and she's wearing several layers. I got her these Thinskins top & bottom and she absolutely loves them! She is finally warm! Thanks! February 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Cheri43 Well constructed, exceeded my expectations. Purchased the leggings and was so impressed with the quality & fit I ordered the top as well. Comfort beyond compare. January 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by ShelleybellCA79 I forget I'm wearing them! These shirts are so comfortable under regular clothes that you hardly remember you dressed in layers! I don't feel too hot or cold in these shirts, but just right! Sometimes I'm tempted to sleep in them, but save them for work where I have no control over the temperature. December 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Morning Walker Sleek Undergarment I ordered a cotton top years ago from the VCS, and was disappointed by flimsy fabric and construction. This time, I was amazed to find vastly improved fabric and construction. I wear this winter underwear constantly. The only negative is that I wish it came in petite so that the arms would be a better fit. November 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by 86Rie Lightweight, Warm and Comfortable I love the Thinskins. They are perfect for me to sleep in. The smooth nylon outside makes it easy to turn over in bed. January 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Dizzy Lizzy KEEP WARM IN STYLE These thinskins tops are so soft, comfortable and pretty! They really keep you warm. When you have these one, you don't need to layer your clothes to keep warm, these will do it for you and they are so lightweight too! Don't ever stop making them! December 19, 2012

It would depend on the product. It would fall under the BST section for the most part. Other than that there is not really a restriction. Just please follow the BST section rules and you will be fine.

Witness the many people, young and old, who regularly line up along the main street for the Western Week, Diez y Seis and lighted Christmas season parades.
However, if ever there was such an event which deserved a massive crowd of appreciative, cheering Americans, it would be this Saturday.
That is when organizers will stage the Parade That Never Was for Vietnam veterans and for all other vets who have served their country.
Many of the Vietnam veterans who returned to this country were never given a decent homecoming.
Their friends and neighbors had little to say about the time they had sacrificed when they answered their country's call during an unpopular war. Some even were spat upon or were the targets of hateful, disparaging remarks.
These dedicated, gallant men, now in their 60s and 70s, including those who belong to the Tomas Gonzales Chapter 929 of the Vietnam Veterans of America, deserve far better.
Fortunately, from Washington, D.C., to Austin and other cities large and small, monuments have been erected and ceremonies held in recent years to right this wrong and help overcome the pain and neglect suffered by these service members.
Now, on May 11, Vietnam veterans, their families, friends and grateful spectators can demonstrate their support by attending this parade.
Organizers are hoping that a thousand or more people will line North Washington Street from the College North Shopping Center through downtown Beeville.
Veterans from World War II, Korea and the first Gulf War also are expected to march or ride in the parade, along with the more recent veterans who have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Whether they decide to march or not, these veterans are owed a "platoon" of thanks for their service to this nation.
Bee County and area residents should turn out and welcome them home finally!

Sorry for 2 posts in one day, but I've had this question for a while now LOL
So if I start dairy products at 9m (yogurt, cheese etc), how is that different than giving her just plain cow's milk or goat's milk (which I understand can/should be given after 1y)? My MIL asked me this question and I had no clue (she suggested giving milk to LO while she watches her b/c I have very poor pumping output). If it's got milk products in it, what's the diff?

What's for Dinner?
Diet advice changes so fast it's almost a full-time job to keep up with it. Avoid cholesterol; no, avoid saturated fats; no, avoid trans-fats. Avocados are bad; no, avocados are good. Wheat germ is passé; now omega 3s are de rigueur. The supermarket overwhelms us with an embarras de richesses, a confusing superabundance of choices from "organic" to low-sodium. How can we decide what to have for dinner?
Michael Pollan, the author of The Omnivore's Dilemma, has written a new book: In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto. He argues for a simplification of diet advice. He hones it down to seven words: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. (more…)

Hello, I am EBFing my 10 weeks old daughter but lately I am quite dry in the late afternoon and evening and she is hungry. Sometimes I manage to pump during the day and keep some milk for the evening, but my supply is on the low side so when I pump I often have to give her the EBM right after, plus I have a 3 yrs old at home and pumping is not easy. I usually get 30 ml (1 oz) combined or less per pumping session.
I take fennel tea and started a preparatiom based on goat's rue and ricinus 4ch on suggestion of the midwife, but it is not enough. I let DD nurse whenever she wants and for as long as she wants, and for the moment she is gaining weight and has at least 4 soaking wet (100 ml each) disposable diapers and two bm per day, however her weight gain is slowing down fast and approaching the lower acceptable limit. Same thing for the diapers.
I would like to increase mlk production in the evening before it is too late. I am thinking to take fenugreek and would like to take goat's rue in a more effective form, do you have suggestions on this? I would also like to squeeze in one or two pumping sessions and I am wondering what would be the most effective way.
Thanks in advance for the help!

January 16, 2013 —
Right now, all nine Sullivan County legislators are facing some difficult decisions in terms of how to set a new course for county government that envisions fiscal responsibility, ethical conduct and smaller, leaner government. The six new members of this group, with a year of experience under their belts, are considering important changes to address significant problems of prior administrations and to build a better county government.
One change is to address an imbalance of power that allows the county manager to basically run county government as he or she deems fit, including making unilateral policy decisions with only cursory oversight from the county legislature. This imbalance of power has resulted in part from the county legislature's inability to hire and fire a county manager by a 5-4 majority vote. Right now, it takes a 6-3 vote.
To make matters worse, the county manager's contract makes it almost impossible to fire him.
When the Sullivan County Charter was created in 1996, the county manager was intended to serve "at the will" of a majority of the legislature. This is common practice. At-will employment is a doctrine of American law in which either party can terminate the relationship at any time with or without any advance warning. The employer is free to discharge individuals "for good cause, or bad cause, or no cause at all." Likewise, the employee is equally free to quit, strike, or otherwise cease work.
In 2007, the county charter was amended to require a two-thirds majority "to appoint, suspend or remove the county manager." This seemingly insignificant revision not only changed the original intent of the charter, but also undermined the authority of the elected county legislature by shifting great power to the county manager position and has caused big problems since then; in particular, the county manager answers to only three of nine legislators and communicates to them alone important information about how policy is being created and driven. He or she basically has carte blanche in working with those three alone to conduct county business.
To change a ridiculous law that prevents the county legislature from making important changes, like hiring and firing a county manager, a new local law, which is receiving bipartisan support, is proposed to amend the county charter to remove this two-thirds majority requirement. Bottom line: if the majority of county legislators are unhappy with a county manager, then they should be able to give him or her notice and look for a new one—like any other "at will" employee. This matter will be taken up by the legislature at the full board meeting on January 24 at 2 p.m.
The 2007 charter revisions also moved the tentative budget due date from October 1 to November 15, which has left insufficient time to review the tentative budget, or to reach consensus on meaningful revisions to it. The proposed 2013 charter revisions also will restore the long-standing requirement for the county manager to submit the tentative county budget no later than October 1. I have long advocated for this change.
There are many issues facing the county, but I feel these charter revisions are necessary to restore the legislative intent of the charter and empower elected officials, not bureaucrats, to govern. Critics are charging such a change at this point is being made solely to allow the county legislature to make an immediate change in the county manager's office. That's not the case.
The introduction of the new law is the beginning of changing the course of county government to be more fiscally responsible, to allow better governance and to reorganize county offices and responsibilities for better efficiency, less waste and most importantly to bring government spending and property taxes under control.
It's the start of a new beginning in Sullivan County government and I urge you to support the change.
[Alan Sorensen is a Sullivan County legislator.]

GOP pitches alternate health plan
Lawmakers wont see a plan to finance single-payer health care until 2015. But even as the Legislature tries to speed toward a Saturday adjournment, the issue of health care funding continues to loom large. And some lawmakers are ramping up efforts to create an alternative to single-payer.
At the beginning of the year, a group of mostly Republican lawmakers went to a legislative analyst and posed a question: Is there a way for Vermont to abandon single-payer but still achieve all the health care benefits that Gov. Peter Shumlin has promised to deliver to residents?
Which include universal coverage, access to quality care and cost containment, said Arlington Rep. Cynthia Browning. And we wanted to be able to achieve those goals. But we thought it might be possible to make progress without going all the way to public financing.
Browning, the lone Democrat in the group, said work with the analyst has yielded an attractive alternative. The plan would, at a broad level, maintain the private insurance market, allow for plans to be sold outside the new online exchange, and increase state subsidies to low- and middle-income Vermonters who otherwise might not be able to afford insurance.
Browning said the proposal comes with an annual cost of about $30 million.
It doesnt require redoing how insurance is provided or how its financed, Browning said. It doesnt require redoing our tax code. It doesnt require raising $2 billion or even $250 million.
House Minority Leader Don Turner said the document should not be viewed as a proposal from the Republican caucus. And he said theres plenty in the plan that his members might find troublesome, such as the tax on health benefits that would be used to fund the new expenditures. But Turner said that although its up to Shumlin to deliver a plan, the GOP is contemplating other approaches to health care reform.
We felt that since the Legislature had hired this expert (who) had worked with the state of Vermont in the past, that we would try to work in a bipartisan manner to try to achieve the goals that were laid out in Act 48, understanding that we fully believe that a more robust marketplace is where we want to go, Turner said.
Shumlin says he isnt ready to show Vermonters how hell pay for single-payer. But Windham Sen. Peter Galbraith raised some eyebrows a week ago when he told his colleagues not only is the governors financing plan nearly complete, but that hes gotten a look at it.
It comes to me from a source that is not in the administration, but I have a great deal of confidence that this does in fact reflect the thinking of those in the administration, said Galbraith, a Democrat who this year proposed using an 11 percent payroll tax to fund single-payer.
As was reported first by VTDigger.org, Galbraith said the Shumlin plan would use a combination of a 5 percent payroll tax, a 2 percent tax on fuel gross receipts and a mandatory premium that would be equivalent to a 9 percent income tax on people making $50,000 a year and more, with a maximum cap.
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding wouldnt comment Wednesday on whether any aspects of Galbraiths assertions are based in fact. But, he said, he can state quite certainly that some of the pieces Galbraith says the governor is thinking about, he is not anywhere near thinking about doing those.
Browning said her plan doesnt ensure health insurance as a right of Vermont residency, something Shumlin has insisted is an essential component of any health care reform initiative. But, she said, according to the administrations own projections, the number of uninsured Vermonters will soon drop below 15,000, largely because of increased Medicaid eligibility as a result of the federal Affordable Care Act. And, she said, it doesnt make sense to upend a system that works for many Vermonters when policymakers could take a more surgical approach to finding and enrolling the uninsured.
To my mind, this is a modest reliable alternative path for health reform that builds upon what weve already got and uses whats already going right, Browning said.

Nearly 200 Chihuahuas rescued from home
Pa. authorities calling it a case of animal hoarding
Nearly 200 Chihuahuas were rescued from a Pennsylvania home in what authorities called a case of animal hoarding.
Dog wardens cooperating with state police executed a search warrant Thursday at the home in Benton after receiving numerous tips, The Associated Press reported.
Many of the animals were sick and authorities said they found numerous dead dogs in the home, which had unsanitary conditions.
State police expected to file animal cruelty charges against the owners, Harrisburg TV station WHP reported.
Mike Pechart, who oversees dog law enforcement activities at the Agriculture Department, called it "an unfortunate situation of animal hoarding."
