Lookin' Good in Yankeeland
WHOA! Looking back at the weekend, I sat down to try and understand firsthand what offseason life must be like as a Yankees fan. I got into it. And I got sorta aroused.
Mo's back.
Jeter's back.
I found the picture to the right on a Google image search, hoping to find something that could illustrate just how arousing the above arrangement actually is.
If there were a hell, I'd be the president of it.
Hate me. Just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Not sure why, but twhen the Yankees do come into the Trop sometimes the hottness factor heats up to a insane level. It could possibly be due to the high bachelor level of the guys who play on the team with the biggest payroll in baseball,or could it be that woem also follow the MYY tradition with zeal.
Whatever the reason, it is always fun to stand behind the visitor's dugout and watch as each Big Apple cutie jockeys for position to get their ababy blues noticed by a guy in pinstripes.

Well, Aubrey Huff wasn't available to wear the Yankees new rally thong, so they had to make do with someone else. But the players all agree that this substitution is very…um…inspiring.
RR — I'd take the hotness factor…any day!
Blithe — Ya had to bring up the rally thong, didn't ya? LOL.
The way she's sticking out her stomach, she looks kinda pregnant. But then Yankee fans do procreate and make more Yankee fans, so it's entirely possible that she is. (I have no idea what I'm talking about. It's still early here in CA.)
Prince — I know, right!
Jane — I know someone who could MAKE her pregnant… I know him/me very well.
Of course I did, Jeff. You left that big old meatball hanging out over home plate and I could not resist.
What is her name she is georgous?

Hunger and need change everything — even those rules we believe to be black and white.
It's a thought I arrived at this week while talking with a friend.
"You know, I've been meaning to tell you, you're mean," he said jokingly.
He proceeded to point out he was struck by the thought after a visit to my house which included a tour of my pet menagerie.
He explained he had been feeling sympathy for a snake whose cage was situated next to a cage of three baby rabbits.
"That just ain't right, that has to be frustrating, and imagine what the rabbits are thinking," he said grinning.
I took the opportunity to defend myself and share an interesting dynamic with him that I have learned over the years.
Food is only food when the predator is hungry, and a predator is only a predator while it's trying to kill you.
Predator and prey, for the most part, understand their roles and hold no grudges.
More times than I can count I have placed a fuzzy rat or mouse into the snake cage then quickly squished my eyes closed and turned my back waiting for the "dinner is served" squeal.
And many times when that squeal hasn't come, I have slowly turned back and opened my eyes to see the snake apathetically serving as a balancing beam for a curious rodent.
The first time I saw it I was amazed and sure it was an freak thing, but no, it happens all the time.
The rats don't even seem to know they're in danger.
It seems that snakes (at least captive snakes) don't strike and kill just because.
Not only that, they won't even defend themselves even though it has to be annoying to have a mouse standing on one's head.
I have had snakes spend days bonding with their food and watched in amazement as they curl around a rat, acting as a cushion.
And the rats scurry around seemingly oblivious to the potential, using the snake's long body as a bridge or ladder to get where they want to go.
What is even more interesting, is that the tables can be turned and sometimes it's the food that bites.
The vulnerability of a snake is actually quite shocking, and when combined with the apathy that accompanies lack of appetite, can be down right deadly.
In essence, the snake becomes a living snack for a precocious rat.
A few hours confined together and a snake owner may very well return to find their slithery friend gnawed on like an ear of corn, injuries snakes often cannot bounce back from.
Of course in the wild, predator and prey wouldn't bunk together and would actively avoid contact with the exception of hunting time.
So it's logical the dynamic is a product of captivity dulling the instincts.
Our local zoo, for instance, has a program where they intentionally place objects with the scent of herd animals in the tiger's and other cat pens and vice versa, the smell of the predators into the pens of prey animals.
The practice helps to stimulate them and awakens their instincts, cutting down on the malaise of captivity.
And those instincts are critical to both the hunter and the hunted.
But in the end, it is the drive and the appetite that directs the outcome of that relationship, ensuring that it's not always the creature with the biggest teeth that prevails, but instead the one with the greatest hunger.

About 900 civilian employees are returning to work at Fort McCoy even though the federal government shutdown continues.
The U.S. Department of Defense is ending furloughs for all civilian employees who contribute to the readiness of service members.
Fort spokeswoman Linda Fournier said training for 2,200 National Guard and Reserve troops had to be canceled because civilian employees were furloughed. The La Crosse Tribune reported another 600 civilian employees stayed on the job because they're responsible for safety and security and contract work.
The majority of Wisconsin's National Guard technicians were approved to return to work Monday, according to a release.
Nine categories of technicians will remain on furlough, officials said. The categories include legislative and public affairs, commercial account/travel account/defense travel system management, auditors and internal review, inspector general, website management, schools management, strategic planning, army communities of excellence management and State Partnership for Peace Program management.
According to the release, technicians that are still on furlough will not be able to return until Congress passes a defense authorization act, a continuing resolution or further legislation to fully fund the armed forces.
"Based on this new guidance, we are able to recall a majority, but not all, of our civilian technicians," Maj. Gen. Donald Dunbar, Wisconsin adjutant general, said in the release. "All of our employees are valued and our inability to recall some of our technicians does not reflect the importance of work they do for the Wisconsin National Guard."
Supervisors contacted their employees to let them know if they fell into of the nine categories that will remain on furlough, officials said. The first task upon returning to work will be to establish accountability for all employees and to restart any processes shut down last week on the first day of the furlough.

The mission of Speedway Children's Charities remains true to the ideals it was founded upon in 1982: To care for children in educational, financial, social and medical need in order to help them lead productive lives.
Speedway Children's Charities was founded by Bruton Smith, Chairman of Speedway Motorsports and Sonic Automotive, as a memoriam and legacy to his son, Bruton Cameron Smith, who passed away at a very young age. Given his experience, Smith became passionate about wanting to help children in need and Speedway Children's Charities was created focusing on communities surrounding SMI speedways.
SCC went national in 1982, and throughout the years has grown to funding thousands of organizations nationwide that help children directly with everything from educational support to the basic need of a coat or a simple meal.

Hi there,
My 10 wk old spits up frequently, multiple times during every feeding. We go through 2 - 3 bibs per feeding! He does not however seem to be in pain or uncomfortable, he is pretty content and carries on after spitting up. His Pediatrician prescribed Zantac (.6 ml twice a day), but I don't know if he really needs it or has reflux. Is spitting up as much as he does normal or excessive? I heard normal from a LC and a bit much from his Dr. so I don't know whether to start him on Zantac or not.

The second weekend of October marked a very special event: RISD By Design, an annual alumni reunion and parents weekend occurring all over campus. The event coincided with RISD's Alumni and Student Art Sale, as well as numerous presentations, tours, open studios and receptions. Every year, RISD by Design offers a chance to reunite with old friends, make new ones, rediscover the campus, and realize just what makes RISD so special. Click on the photo above to see more of the festivities from RBD 2013, or hit this link to visit the RISD Alumni Flickr page.
This year, in addition to being one of the biggest events of my event coordination career, was also my 10-year college reunion. I enjoyed a house full of friends and more than a few adventures to commemorate the occasion. I'm so proud to be part of the team that pulled this off, grateful, and honestly a little surprised to be exactly where I want to be with my life.
Thanks to all my friends who made it out here for the weekend, RISD Alumni Relations + Special Events for all their tireless work, & my bosses for loading me up with drink tickets at the alumni dinner!

Climate change, sustainability, and energy issues are certainly "hot topics" that require our students to have a strong background in understanding how Earth works as a system. The systems approach enhances student learning even when SOLs focus on content and concepts from discrete subfields (e.g., geology, atmospheric science). We encourage K-12 teachers to submit their best practices for engaging students in earth-system science content.
- 30. The November Nor'easter of 2009 — A Preliminary Discussion of the Effects Throughout the Atlantic Coast Region
Art Trembanis, University of Delaware; Katie Farnsworth, Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
- During the second week in November of 2009 a historic Nor'easter, the remains of Hurricane Ida, blasted the East Coast with torrential rains, pounding surf, and strong winds causing severe flooding and erosion both at the coast, within estuaries, and on inland rivers along much of the Atlantic coast. This session will bring together scientists actively working on understanding the effect of the large November 2009 Nor'easter along the central Atlantic Region. We welcome submissions spanning effects along the entire Eastern seaboard ranging from the upper watershed down to the coast and out onto the shelf. The goal is to provide a forum for researchers to illustrate and share the characteristics of the storm (winds, rainfall, surge, erosion, etc.) from a broad suite of both remote and in situ observational systems (i.e. buoys, mooring, stream gages, satellites, post-storm surveys, etc.) together with model simulations of the storm.

What troubles me is the frequency of these killing sprees in the U.S. There was another one the same week in Alabama. A guy walked into a restaurant with a semi-automatic rifle and started shooting people. He then walked down the street and turned himself in at a FedEx. Luckily noone was killed, which is why the media didn't cover it, which also makes me sad.
I think the violence is a symptom of our culture and society. Gun laws or no gun laws, something is fundamentally wrong with our society. I can't put my finger on it.
I personally believe it is a combination of many factors, not just one. Media, disconnectivity within community, family, etc, poor mental health care, poor education, distrust and hatred of people that are different, proliferation of easily accessible weapons and a constant promotion of selfish values.
I think all of these attributes of our society have created a "perfect storm" for these killing sprees to take place. While I'm not so naive that I believe we can eliminate the violence within our culture completely, I do believe we can stake steps to drastically reduce it.
Unfortunately, the issue is complex and would take a massive commitment and investment of time and resouces, not to mention the deeply divisive issues (e.g. gun control) seem to drive the debates on such a topic, which, inturn, leads to more vitriol, hatred and disconnection.
In other words, nothing will be done and another killing spree will probably take place in a few months. We have averaged more than two a year since Columbine and sadly, I think it will just become a "normal" part of our society.
Anyway, that's my two cents.

There is something really special about East Harlem that makes it a true New York City neighborhood. The people, the food, the arts, music and fashion, all tell the story of its history and the many cultures that have shaped East Harlem. Encompassing northeastern Manhattan from 96th Street to 139th Street, between the East River and Fifth Avenue, East Harlem—also known as El Barrio—feels a bit more intimate, than much of Manhattan. While East Harlem maintains its strong Puerto Rican cultural identity, its residents and businesses also represent a myriad of cultures, including: Italian, Caribbean, Mexican, Middle-Eastern and many others. We invite you to enjoy El Barrio's real community feel, admire the public art, visit the museums and galleries, savor delicious foods, stop by La Marqueta (a marketplace from the 1930s), and check out the many unique local shops.

Vermont way making a difference in Washington
SPRINGFIELD Vermonts congressman is hoping the Vermont way can restore trust in Washington and help local businesses compete with Internet vendors.
Rep. Peter Welch told Springfield Rotarians on Monday that gridlock continues on Capitol Hill. Republicans and Democrats are gearing up for the 113th session of the U.S. Congress next month and finding common ground is taking a back seat to partisan bickering.
In Vermont you get to know the people youre working with, even those you disagree with, and develop an appreciation that their goals are the same as yours. It creates a cohesion and good will to find the common ground. Thats whats eluding us in Congress, Welch said.
According to Welch, the Vermont way is about focusing on legislative solutions as opposed to winning ideological battles. Last session Welch reached common ground with Republicans to help Vermont businesses.
Welch and several colleagues introduced the Main Street Fairness Act, a bill that allows local retailers to compete with tax-free Internet vendors. Welch said Main Street retailers are at a competitive disadvantage and the bill would give a boost to small retailers.
The Main Street Fairness Act has yet to pass but the bill is gaining bipartisan support. Welch believes the progress represents a positive sign for further cooperation between Republicans and Democrats next legislative session.
Im working with a conservative Republican from Arkansas, Rep. Steve Womack. I asked what was the message your voters gave to you? They said, Steve get together with colleagues and get something done. I said I hear the same. It gives me hope in this new congress, that Republicans and Democrats will hear more of that and create the good will required to find common ground and make progress, Welch said.
Bob Flint, Springfield Regional Development Corporation Executive Director, said Welchs efforts can make a difference in the local economy, if the bill is passed.
Retail in downtowns or anywhere in a border town in Vermont is challenging because of the proximity to New Hampshire, with no sales tax. Add the Internet sales to it and you make for a very difficult situation. Congressman Welchs bill would help to remedy the latter and make for a more even playing field, Flint said.
Leaders in Washington will be put to the test in the coming weeks as President Barack Obama and Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner of Ohio deal with the ramifications of the so-called fiscal cliff. If Republicans and Democrats cannot come to an agreement on budget and tax issues by Jan. 1, then tax rates will increase and discretionary spending cuts will go into effect.
Many programs that rely on federal dollars, such as medical care and economic development and social programs, will be negatively impacted. Welch said its not the end of the world if an agreement is not reached, but he is optimistic there will be one.
The speaker wants to make an agreement and I know the president wants to make a balanced agreement as well. The most important thing is we get one that has a serious revenue component and we start making, on the cuts side, sensible military decisions about what is required for national security as opposed to doing everything for everybody everywhere, Welch said.
Up to 40 Rotarians attended the event at the Hartness House Inn in Springfield.

The Basenji is somewhat aloof, but can also form strong bonds with people. It should not be trusted with noncanine pets. It is usually patient, but does best with older considerate children. The Basenji dislikes wet weather. The breed likes to climb and can easily get over chain wire fences. (NOTE: NOT all Basenjis climb--it depends on the individual.)
Basenjis are very clever at getting their own way. The Basenji has the unique properties of not barking (it makes a low, liquid ululation instead) and cleaning itself like a cat. It can be described as speedy, frisky, tireless at play, and teasing the owner into play. Most Basenji problems usually involve a mismatch between owner and pet. The owners mistake the adjective quiet to mean inactive instead of noiseless, thus, they become harassed by an active, though relatively silent, dog.

Pop Culture Junkies
"Pulp Fiction" resurrected John Travolta's career, made Uma Thurman a star and establishedQuentin Taratino as the most daring director in Hollywood.
Nearly 20 years after the film's release, the three retrace the making of the movie to Vanity Fair. You can check out the full feature here, but we've gleaned six surprising facts from the retrospective:
1. The now infamous Gimp scene was Uma's main hesitation with the film, over the obscenity or drug use. "[Quentin] wasn't this revered demigod auteur that he has grown into" the actress explained. "And I wasn't sure I wanted to do it, because I was worried about the Gimp stuff."
2. As for the scenes she was actually in, Uma was most nervous about doing the Twist with John.
3. Every studio passed on the "Pulp Fiction" script, until it fell into the lap of then-Miramax head Harvey Weinstein.
4. Harvey was dead-set against John playing Vincent Vega. Two other actors interested in playing the gangster role? Daniel Day-Lewis and Bruce Willis.
5. Bruce Wills went on to play boxer Butch, but Quentin had promised the role to Matt Dillon. Matt's hesitation over accepting the role led Quentin to give Bruce the part. "Once I got Bruce Willis, Harvey got his big movie star, and we were all good," said the director. "Bruce Willis made us legit."
6. It's hard to imagine anyone other than Samuel L. Jackson playing the Bible-quoting Jules Winnfield, but the role almost went to Puerto Rican American stage actor Paul Calderon. Samuel sealed the deal after a last-ditch audition.

Notable Births at the Buffalo Zoo
Buffalo Zoo Welcomes Baby GorillaBuffalo, N.Y. (Sept. 6 2013) The Buffalo Zoo is celebrating the birth of a baby western lowland gorilla. The baby was born on Wednesday, September 4 at 12:44 p.m. to first-time mother, 12-yearold Lily, and father, 26-year-old Koga. Lily has displayed strong maternal instincts and is taking great care of the troops latest addition. Keepers have not been able to get close enough to the baby to determine its gender, though they believe it is a girl. Both mother and baby are doing well.During Lilys pregnancy, the keeper staff at the Buffalo Zoo was able to monitor the babys growth using ultrasound technology. Lily had been trained to present her abdomen to keepers and remain calm during the ultrasound process, so she did not need to be anesthetized in order to obtain images of the fetus. The team worked with Bridget Gilewski, RT, RDMS of Babys Bungalow in North Tonawanda, who volunteered to assist with the ultrasound readings. The Buffalo Zoo is one of the only zoos to have successfully measured the development of a western lowland gorilla in utero. Their research is important to the study and husbandry of gorillas.The baby will join the gorilla troop, including her parents as well as females Sydney and Amari, in their exhibit daily. During this sensitive time, the gorillas will be given access to their interior holding areas, should they desire more privacy. Visitors are advised that the gorillas may not always be visible, but are encouraged to check back often! The gestation period of gorillas is eight and a half months. Gorillas begin walking when they are between three and six months of age, and are weaned around three years of age.Western lowland gorillas are found in the lowland tropical forests of central Africa. The species is critically endangered due to loss of habitat as well as the bush meat trade.

HSLDA Discount Group Program
Thank you for your commitment to serving the families in your area and for encouraging their membership in HSLDA. We have two different programs to benefit your group: The HSLDA Discount Group program and the HSLDA Referral Rewards Affiliate program.
The primary qualification for a homeschool group to become a Discount Group is having at least ten (10) families who are already members of HSLDA, or who are applying to become members, and would use your group number as their group discount number. For families new to HSLDA, you can find a downloadable application at: http://www.hslda.org/join/hslda_ap.pdf. For others, you'll use the forms found on the FAQ page. (Also see the FAQs for more information about homeschool group qualifications.)
As a Discount Group, you would also communicate to your families about the services and benefits of HSLDA, and you would maintain your group's online membership roster (which is created after you become a Discount Group).
The Roster Rewards program is an incentive program to reward those Discount Groups who update their group rosters at our site twice a year, at fairly specific times (fall and spring). Not only does your group receive a free membership to give away to a family in the group, but the person responsible for maintaining the group's roster receives a small token of our appreciation for her diligence!
In addition, Discount Groups with 25 or more HSLDA members on their Discount Group rosters are eligible to apply for a Home School Foundation grant.
Again, thank you for your service to the homeschool community!
For more information, see Frequently Asked Questions about the Discount Group program.

"I remember seeing a huge wave going through this valley and completely submersing the city in water," said Christine Hitt, who is a web editor for Honolulu Magazine.
Millions of views and more than a year later, the video of the massive wave washing over the Tohoku region town of Minamisanriku is still stunning.
"You can see that there was a town there, but its not there any more," she said.
Hitt was one of a dozen from Hawaii that went to see what's changed and what happened to the people left behind.
"For me it was about listening and now sharing," said Hitt.
KITV visited the same town a month after the disaster, and it was devastation and debris for as far as the eyes could see.
But now, the earth is scraped clean in that area, but for a building or two.
"I saw how bad it was," said Shinji Wabiko, a manager with tour company H.I.S.
H.I.S. is headquartered in Japan, but has long-standing offices in Hawaii. The company wanted the people of Hawaii who have been so supportive and so giving to Japan to see, to not forget and to help them rebuild one gift, one meal and one purchase at a time.
"We bought a lot of these when we visited," said Hitt, pulling out some colorful aprons made from kimono material.
"They lost everything, their homes and businesses, so they have nothing to do. Those who survived are trying to recover," said Wabiko.
"It's not volunteers they need to clean up, it's more that they need money to get back to where they were," said Hitt.
The group visited a school in Ogawa. 70 children died there that day.
They visited a town center in Minamisanriku. Only the few that climbed the antenna survived.
And they visited a beach. The area is still pristine, and the sand is still filled with debris.
"There was so much debris on that beach, even though it was so tiny," said Hitt.
The people there are trying, she said, but it's been so hard. Still, you see there is progress -- big and small. And visitors such as Hitt now know, too, they will never forget.
"Nothing compares to being there," she said.
The survivors still living there told the group that every building, every house is considered temporary.
The earthquake before the tsunami caused the ground to drop nearly 20 feet in towns such as Minamisanriku.
Townsfolk told the group the government is planning to come in and fill the entire valley to raise it back up to where it was. Next, comes a new wall. Only then can survivors begin in earnest to rebuild.

World's largest chocolate peanut butter cup? Bennington may have the recordPatrick McArdle / Staff Photo
Nick Monte, right, owner of the Village Chocolate Shoppe, cuts up pieces of what might be the worlds largest peanut butter cup Oct. 4 outside his store on Main Street in Bennington. The candy was almost 5 feet in diameter, weighed just under 230 pounds and sold out in less than 24 hours.
BENNINGTON A peanut butter cup weighing almost 230 pounds and measuring almost 5 feet in diameter that may have set a worlds record is attracting attention to the Village Chocolate Shoppe in Bennington and its effort raise money to fight domestic violence.
Nick Monte, owner of the chocolate shop, set out earlier this month to make the worlds largest peanut butter cup as part of Benningtons First Friday program. Monte said he had only planned to have a fun event Oct. 4 that would benefit the Project Against Violent Encounters, or PAVE, in Bennington.
However, cameras from WCAX-TV filmed the preparation of the peanut butter cup and now the story has spread to a number of websites and television stations.
The chocolate shop has received phone calls over the last week from places like Cleveland, New Jersey and Maryland from people who wanted to buy a piece of what might be a record-setter. The pieces of the peanut butter cup that were sold as a fundraiser for PAVE were all gone by Oct. 5.
Monte said family events are a summer tradition at the Village Chocolate Shoppe. In 2010, the shop married Benny, an 88-pound chocolate moose, and his girlfriend, Molly, made of 72 pounds of chocolate.
The store already sells its own chocolate peanut butter cups so Monte began to wonder whether they might be able to set a record. Doing his own research, Monte said the current record holder for largest peanut butter cup is Reeses, which sells a 5-pound candy.
To prepare for his attempt at the Guinness World Record, Monte custom-made a peanut butter cup mold and invited some town officials, Select Board members Sharyn Brush and John McFadden, and Rep. Mary Morrissey, R-Bennington, to verify the measurements.
Guinness officials told Monte it would take about seven weeks to learn whether their entry had been approved as the new record-holder, he said.
But if we dont, it was fun anyway, he said. We enjoyed it and we raised $1,500 for PAVE.
PAVE Director Linda Campbell said the Montes were longtime benefactors.
They came up with this creative way to create this win-win for the community, she said. Its just wonderful and were very fortunate to have them as supporters of our work.
Campbell said she was also happy to have a fun event that could raise awareness of the serious issues that are part of Octobers Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
It took about an hour to make the peanut butter cup, which Monte did outside the shop on Main Street. But with the preparations, Monte said he and his family had a couple days in it.
Monte said the reaction was incredible. On the night of Oct. 4, people waited patiently in not one line but two. Inside the store, people waited in a line to pay for their peanut butter cup pieces and outside, they waited in another line that stretched down past several storefronts to receive the candy.
Everybody seemed to be having a good time, Monte said.
The response was especially gratifying, Monte said, because there was so much to do that night in Benningtons downtown thanks to the First Friday event organized by the Better Bennington Corp.
Monte said he knew he had made a special contribution to First Friday after one customer said he had only been driving through town when he saw all of the people gathered around the peanut butter cup and decided to stay the night in Bennington after seeing all of the nights events.
It was also a family event with Montes wife, Judy, daughters Denise and Sherry and son Ken, who works at the Village Chocolate Shoppe, all taking part in the preparation or sale of the peanut butter cup.
Monte said he hasnt decided whether hell try to make another peanut butter cup of similar size but his son, Ken Monte, said, We consistently top ourselves but I dont think were going to top this one.
