Academy in Vt. to expand to KoreaNovember 30,2012ST. JOHNSBURY A private Vermont high school in St. Johnsbury is planning to open a campus in South Korea.
St. Johnsbury Academy was the first American school chosen to operate at the Jeju Global Education City, school officials said Thursday.
The education city is being built on an island off the southern coast of South Korea and was established by the Korean government to help meet an increasing demand in that country for overseas studies and language training.
St. Johnsbury Academy was selected from schools throughout the U.S. Its scheduled to open in the fall of 2015.
The international school for grades 4-12 will offer an American-style education with curriculum much like what is offered in St. Johnsbury to students from the around the world, said John Suitor, the academys acting director of marketing and communications. Officials envision most of the students will be Asian and the school will be staffed with faculty from around the world.
We are confident that St. Johnsburys comprehensive curriculum and personalized approach to instruction, which has been so attractive to international students for decades, will make St. Johnsbury Academy Jeju a successful addition to the global education city, Academy Headmaster Tom Lovett said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart. *Helen Kellar*
Well I just wanted to bump this because it's been a year since I stopped nursing D and I never did come back and update it like I said I would. It makes me all teary to read it again and remember how hard it was, but I can remember other things now like how grateful I really was that he never rejected the bottle or the formula and how I could still cuddle him to me while I fed him and he still looked pretty sweet looking up at me even if I had to move the bottle out of the way to look him in the eye.
Of course we have regained our bond by now, or maybe we never really lost it to begin with and it was more my reaction to the situation that made me feel like some connection had been severed by circumstances beyond my control. I hope and actually kind of believe that Davis never felt the bond waver no matter how I was feeling at the time.
But back to the present. I have a crazy almost 2 year old. He's not perfect, we still have problems, he still needs us to be on top of his health all.the.time. but looking back on how he used to be compared to how he is today it's like a totally different child. It's certainly a totally different situation for us as his parents to no longer be in constant emergency mode. To no longer be constantly worried about what is going to happen, constantly googling to see if I can find something the doctors are missing, constantly wondering what is really wrong with my baby. Now we can actually focus on the normal toddler issues, like hitting and potty training and getting along with his sister. Speaking of his sister, he's very different from her and of course I will always wonder how much of it is because of the things that happened in the first year (and more) of his life, including being weaned early. He's just as likely to go to daddy when he's tired, hurt, or upset as he is to come to me and while I get a pang about that on occasion, I try to remind myself that he was never quite as desperately attached to me as she was. It could just be his personality or the fact that he's the second child. It might have nothing to do with the fact that I cut him off.
As for bottle feeding getting easier, you know what? It never did. I still get up in the middle of the night and fix bottles and it still sucks. I still have to get up at god o clock in the morning and walk around with my sick or teething child and I still sometimes think about how much easier it would be to just pop a boob in his mouth and go back to sleep. On the plus side I've learned some new tricks so I can think about those things and not panic trying to figure out what I can do to calm him that doesn't involve my boobs. And finally, I still frequently get to where I'm going and find that I've forgotten something, either the formula, the bottle, the water, or whatever. Fortunately bottle feeding a toddler is similar to nursing a toddler in that you can distract them or talk them into waiting until a better time. It's also similar in that people look at you like you're crazy when you do it in public, but whatever. Pass the bean dip, how about the weather, well if you really want to know I'll tell you the whole sad story but don't mind me if I start to tear up while I do it.
So there you go, a sort-of-happy update. It can be done and this too shall pass and all of that positive stuff.

I'm still fairly new to the breastfeeding as my LO is 5 weeks old. Your original post was very touching and made me realize not to take this amazing time I have with my daughter for granted. I originally thought I would only BF for 3 months until I went back to work so that she would get the health benefits from it, but I'm loving it so much, and its so much more than just the health benefits now that I know I'm going to go much longer! I also could not have made it the first few weeks (and even some days here and there now) without this site and all of the support/advice from all of you and reading about your experiences. I'm so glad everything worked out for you and I hope you continue to visit us here to share your experiences and wisdom!

Thanks ladies.
Erin, we still don't know all of his allergies or more accurately we don't know what all he reacts to. As far as foods go he has tested positive to dairy, eggs, peanuts, some tree nuts, garlic, chicken, pork, some legumes (so we avoid almost all including soy), and wheat (he's also tested negative so we've trialed it twice but are still avoiding). We also avoid all the more common allergens like fish and shellfish, strawberries, peas and some random things like peaches and cherries because they are closely related to almonds, which he's tested highly positive for. Basically we have to go really slowly with trialing foods and we can't always tell whether he's reacted or not because his skin is almost always broken out so unless there is a super big reaction we can't be totally sure. So he's still on a pretty limited diet and still gets the majority of his nutrition from elemental formula.
I do think he is outgrowing some of his reactivity, whether that means he's outgrowing some allergies or whether his body is just able to deal with things better now I'm not sure, but the end result is that he is feeling better so that's a positive. He's also gaining weight really well and catching back up with his growth curve. He was up to 10%ile at his last visit, which was a pretty huge deal for us. He's been on a zinc supplement for several months and that has made a really big difference in his growth and the condition of his skin.

Kevin Wilson: Freedom New Mexico ENMU forward Tyler Jefferson gets his shot off over Central Oklahoma guard Tyler Phillips during the first half of Monday's Lone Star Conference men's crossover game at Greyhound Arena.
By Karl Terry: Freedom New Mexico correspondent
PORTALES — Fortunately personnel at Eastern New Mexico University will have the long holiday break for maintenance at Greyhound Arena — they'll need it to replace the lights after the University of Central Oklahoma shot them out in a 103-85 win over the Greyhounds.
The 13th-ranked Bronchos (11-1) shot 59 percent from the floor, including 16-of-26 from beyond the 3-point arc, in the Lone Star Conference crossover game. The Greyhounds (3-7) shot nearly 40 percen.
"They're very good and, honestly, they played really well," ENMU coach Andrew Helton said of UCO. "I don't remember even seeing a Division one team do that."
Helton said he wasn't real happy with the way the first half went for ENMU, saying the Greyhounds dug a hole early.
"Early in the game it was a disaster," Helton said. "But I will say they didn't give up, they kept battling and playing hard."
Bronchos senior guard Dauntae Williams took the Greyhounds to school early, scoring 19 of his game-high 33 points in the first half. After junior Shane Carroll hit the second of back-to-back treys for the Bronchos with 7:10 left in the half, UCO opened up a 21-point advantage and kept it there nearly the duration.
"We were looking at putting a zone on 'em but that's hard when they come out and hit that many shots," Helton said.
The Hounds closed the gap briefly to 17 points halfway through the second half after junior Max Carrier hit a pair from the line to make it 74-57. Carrier went 8-of-10 from the line and scored 18 points to lead ENMU.
Junior Stefan Mirabal of Albuquerque broke out of a three-game slump to tally 15 points, including three treys, for the Greyhounds. Mirabal dropped in 12 of those points in the first half and was the only spark for ENMU before the break.
"He's struggled the last three games," Helton said. "It was good to see him hit some jumpers tonight."
Aaron Edwards scored 14 in the loss while Tralyn Harden came off the bench for 12 second half points.
Tyler Phillips scored 24 for UCO, including an 8-of-10 mark from beyond the 3-point line. June Carter scored 12 and Carroll had 10.
The Greyhounds are idle until after the holiday break.

It also allows the participants enjoy their time on the slopes.The passage of the JOBS Act signed by the President Obama on April 5th, 2012 has created new opportunities in the private investments industry. It has set up high expectations but also has created many concerns. The SEC is still finalizing "rules of the game" to make sure the new law wouldn't create financial Wild West atmosphere for non-sophisticated investors.First two panels of the Forum will examine "pros and cons" of crowdfunding from the standpoint of accredited investors, entrepreneurs and the general public. Other topics to be discussed at the Forum are a collaboration between established financial institutions and investor networks and "the crowd", legal and tax aspects of private investments, alternatives to equity crowdfunding for entrepreneurs and innovators.In spite of the slow development of the legal framework, last year was the time of many new developments in crowdfunding field, including the emergence of tens of new crowdfunding portals, interesting coalitions and entrance into the industry of established financial institutions and business angels' groups.While equity crowdfunding is still illegal in the United States, it is present in several European countries and Australia. The Forum guests will hear from founders of major international platforms about the crowdfunding practice around the world. Their experience should provide valuable insights about potential industry developments in the United States.Among the Forum speakers are leaders of the largest online community of private investors AngelList, US equity crowdfunding platforms CircleUp, Early Shares and Rock the Post, business lenders from Kabbage and SoMoLend. The attendees will also meet representatives of the international equity crowdfunding organizations from UK, France, Netherlands and Australia as well as European Business Angels.

Many gun owners are outraged by President Barack Obama's proposal to ban future sales of semi-automatic assault rifles.
Those against the idea point to the fact that there are already millions of them in the hands of U.S. citizens. They question whether banning future sales would even make an impact.
Brian Smith, a gunsmith in La Crosse, says those who support banning semi-automatic assault rifles have no idea how people actually use them.
He showed News 8 several of his firearms, all of which would no longer be available for purchase under a ban, to highlight that each has a legitimate use.
"This is actually a coyote hunting gun. This is a long-range varmint type rifle and this is a my 3-gun rifle for shooting 3-gun type competitions," said Smith, pointing to three different weapons.
The owner of Smith Guns, 1017 13th Street S., believes gun control infringes on people's 2nd Amendment right and has little impact on public safety.
"You can not legislate evil and no matter what we do, the cat is out of the bag," he said.
Those in favor of stronger gun laws disagree.
"Today is a momentous day," said Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to End Gun Violence during a news conference Wednesday in front of the White House.
Gross says measures are needed to curb gun violence in the country.
"There's an extraordinary disconnect between what the American public wants, including gun owners and NRA members, and what our elected officials are doing about it," he said.
"As a law abiding citizen, what does it matter if I have a 30-round magazine or not?" said Smith.
The National Rifle Association says it will fight stricter gun laws. The organization's members, like Brian Smith, are warning all gun owners to be on alert.
"Your hunting rifles could be in jeopardy. To say that there's no sporting purpose for a semi-automatic rifle is just ridiculous," said Smith.

Happy Birthday America!
Technically the United States declared its Independence from Great Britain on July 2nd yet we celebrate the declaration on the 4th. It doesn't really make any sense but I'm all right with it. And maybe that's why I'm all right with going all patriotic on the 6th instead of the 4th. Patriotism knows no boundaries, right?
Well, even if you don't agree with me, here's something I think we can all agree on:
Not enough for you? Well this should get your man juices flowing which might then kick start the patriotism:[youtube http://youtu.be/2Wir0qJdLYI]
If you haven't grabbed a Budweiser, jumped up on a table and started singing the Star-Spangled Banner yet, it's just possible that you are technically dead. Or maybe you were just waiting for…..
That's right. Ronald Reagan on a velociraptor. Happy 4th of July!!

"Human Capacity"
Book Chapter, pages 114-141
January 2011
Author: Calestous Juma, Professor of the Practice of International Development; Director, Science, Technology, and Globalization Project; Principal Investigator, Agricultural Innovation in Africa
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: Agricultural Innovation in Africa; Science, Technology, and Globalization; Science, Technology, and Public Policy
"Education and human capacity building in Africa have many well-publicized problems, including low enrollment and completion rates. One of the most distressing facts about many African school systems is that they often focus little on teaching students to maximize the opportunities that are available to them in their own communities; rather, they tend to prioritize a set of skills that is less applicable to village life and encourages children to aspire to join the waves of young people moving to urban areas. For some students, this leads to success, but for many more it leads to unfulfilled aspirations, dropout rates, and missed opportunities to learn crucial skills that will allow them to be more productive and have a better standard of living in their villages. It also results in nations passing over a chance to increase agricultural productivity, self-sufficiency, and human resources among their populations.
Education and Agriculture
African leaders have the unique opportunity to use the agricultural system as a driver for their economies and a source of pride and sustainability for their populations. About 36% of all African labor potential is used in subsistence agriculture. If that percentage of the population could have access to methods of improving their agricultural techniques, increasing production, and gaining the ability to transform agriculture into an income earning endeavor, African nations would benefit in terms of GDP, standard of living, infrastructure, and economic stability. One way to accomplish this is to develop systemsboth formal and informalto improve farmers' skills and abilities to create livelihoods out of agriculture rather than simply subsistence...."

Lenoir-Rhyne Names Mike Houston Head Football Coach
May 9, 2011
Houston becomes the 18th Head Coach in Lenoir-Rhyne's storied football history
|Mike Houston was named the 18th Head Football Coach in Lenoir-Rhyne's football history today after spending four seasons as the team's defensive coordinator and secondary coach.
Hickory, N.C. - Lenoir-Rhyne University has named Mike Houston its new Head Football Coach today. Houston becomes the 18th coach in the school's history. Houston replaces Fred Goldsmith, who announced his retirement last week after four seasons at the helm and 45 years of coaching.
Houston has been Lenoir-Rhyne's Defensive Coordinator and Secondary Coach for the last four years (2007-10). On February 4, 2010, Houston was elevated to Assistant Head Coach.
Under Houston's leadership, the Bears' defense had one of their best seasons in recent memory in 2010. Last fall, Lenoir-Rhyne led the South Atlantic Conference in total defense (276.6 ypg) and finished fourth in Division II in rushing defense (75.7 ypg).
In addition, senior defensive back Marcus Shuford (Newton, N.C.) became the third player in school history to win league defensive player-of-the-year honors and played in the Cactus Bowl (the NCAA Division II All-Star Game). The Bears also finished the year with a 7-4 mark, its first winning season since 1994.
"I'm extremely excited about the opportunity at Lenoir-Rhyne," said Mike Houston. "I have great respect for the tradition here and I'm excited about what we have coming back. I look forward to working with this coaching staff and I'm ready to get started on August 11."
Houston came to Lenoir-Rhyne after spending one year (2006) as the Associate Head Coach and Defensive Coordinator at Brevard College.
At Brevard, Houston was part of a staff that re-established football after a 56-year absence. The 2006 Tornado squad won two games while playing a roster comprised of true freshman.
Prior to Brevard, Houston served as the Head Coach at T.C. Roberson High School in Asheville, N.C., from 2001-05. Under Houston, T.C. Roberson went 42-18 (5-4 in the playoffs) and was a two-time Times-News Area Coach Of The Year (2002 and 04).
Houston was also named an Assistant Coach for the 2005 North Carolina Shrine Bowl staff and helped lead North Carolina to a 28-24 win over South Carolina.
Houstons 2004 T.C. Roberson squad was his best-ever, as the team went through the regular season undefeated and finished 13-1 before losing in the state semifinals. The 2004 team averaged 38 points per game while allowing just nine points per outing as it won its first-ever conference championship in school history.
Houston left T.C. Roberson with the highest winning percentage of any coach in school history and helped establish the Rams as one of the top football programs in the state of North Carolina.
Houston, who was a 2005 Shrine Bowl Assistant Coach, spent five years as T.C. Robersons Defensive Coordinator (1996-2000) before taking over the head job.
Houston started his coaching career at Forbush High School in East Bend, N.C., where he served as Falcons Defensive Coordinator (1994-95).
Houston is a 1994 graduate of Mars Hill College with a bachelors degree in biology and played tight end on the Lions football squad.
Houston is married to the former Amanda Owen and the couple has one child, Owen Michael, who was born on December 1, 2008.
"What a great day for Lenoir-Rhyne," said Fred Goldsmith, Lenoir-Rhyne's former Head Football Coach (2007-10). "My congratulations to Mike, Amanda (Mike's wife) and Owen (Mike's son) and the Bears' staff and players. Mike will be a wise, tough, compassionate and very competitive coach."

For Goodness Sake brings intriguing presence
CHESTER – Granted, there are trainers bringing more accomplished horses to Saturday's Grade 2, $750,000 West Virginia Derby presented by Xpressbet. But none are as intriguing as Michael A. Tomlinson's colt, For Goodness Sake, in the 1 1/8-mile event at Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and Resort.
The most lightly raced competitor in the field of eight, For Goodness Sake has a resume that reveals five starts, a pair of wins, a third-place finish and purse earnings of $64,620. His maiden score, which was achieved at Churchill Downs on May 25, was achieved in front-running style at the nine-furlong distance.
For Goodness Sake won by a widening 10 lengths in the equally impressive time of 1:51.56. On June 28, he won wire-to-wire in a 1 1/16-mile Churchill allowance, finishing 6 lengths in front in a time of 1:43.77. Both Churchill victories were achieved against older horses.
How ready is For Goodness Sake to run in Derby competition at this early stage of his career? "The distance of the race will not be a factor, although the lack of experience could be," Tomlinson said. "He's flexible and very durable. He's got a lot of ability, and he's really beginning to show what he can do."
At 6-1 in the West Virginia Derby morning line, For Goodness Sake rates as fourth choice in the field of eight – behind the trio of Grade 2 winners, Candy Boy (9-5), Tapiture (5-2) and Vicar's in Trouble (3-1). He will ridden by 29-year-old Brian Joseph Hernandez Jr., who in 2012 booted Fort Larned to victory in the Breeders' Cup Classic at Santa Anita.
Tomlinson, age 60, grew up in Mustang, Okla. He has been training a thoroughbred stable since 1991, currently has 20 horses in his charge and is based at Churchill. In 2003, Tomlinson won the Arkansas Derby with Sir Cherokee, who closed from last to first position in the 12-horse field to prevail by 1 lengths. Sir Cherokee returned $113.20 for a $2 win ticket.
"Sir Cherokee was a very nice horse, but he was vulnerable to the pace, it had to be fast to set things of for him," said Tomlinson. "It's different with For Goodness Sake. He's much more capable of being a controlling factor."
Bred in Kentucky, For Goodness Sake is a son of Big Brown, who won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes in 2008, and was North America's 3-year-old champion. Fifteenth East, the dam of For Goodness Sake, won one of her ten career, breaking her maiden in her ninth try at Turfway Park. Fifteenth East has a 5×3 Bold Ruler cross in her pedigree. There's plentiful talent to be passed down
For Goodness Sake originally competed for Hoffman Thoroughbreds – Chad Brown (a former Bobby Frankel assistant) was his trainer. The colt was claimed out of his second career start at Gulfstream Park in February. The tag was for $50,000, and it was paid by Vince Foglia for his V-Leaf Stables LLC operation. Tomlinson has been For Goodness Sake's conditioner since then.
There are precedents in recent editions of the West Virginia Derby for a horse with only maiden and allowance victories defeating a more accomplished foe. The most noteworthy example is Soul Warrior, who beat Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird in 2009. Another example is Macho Macho, who beat Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Hansen in 2012.
But Soul Warrior came to Mountaineer with a stakes placing on his resume. Macho Macho was graded stakes-placed. But neither of them had prior run, much less won, at the 1 1/8-mile West Virginia Derby distance. The situation with For Goodness Sake does intrigue.
NOTES: Mylute, who finished a close third to Oxbow and Itsmyluckyday in the 2013 Preakness Stakes, has been entered by trainer Thomas Amoss in the $200,000 West Virginia Governor's Stakes on Saturday's Derby undercard … West Virginia Derby morning line favorite Candy Ride was scheduled to arrive at Mountaineer on Wednesday evening … Tapiture was tabbed for a Thursday arrival, and Vicar's in Trouble will arrive on Friday.

Results tagged ' Rock Shoulders Highlights '
Do You Smell What the "Rock" is Cooking?
That was an easy one, of course I'm talking about Roderick "Rock" Shoulders, a 2011 25th Round Cubs draft pick. Rock, a high school stand out at Brandon High School in Temple Terrace, Florida was originally a draft pick of the Boston Red Sox in 2010 but chose to go to college instead of turning pro. After a productive season at State College of Florida – Manatee, Sarasota where he hit .318 in 52 at bats with 14 home runs and 58 RBI's, not bad for a Freshman, he was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 2011 first year players draft in the 25th round. More after the jump.

Former Sen. Bob Dole hospitalized
Dole has been fighting leg infection since 2009
Published On: Nov 27 2012 02:56:21 PM PST
Former Sen. Bob Dole has been hospitalized, according to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Reid made the announcement on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday, adding that Dole is at Walter Reed Hospital and that the two spoke a few days ago.
Sen. John McCain read a letter from Dole, urging the Senate to pass the Convention of Persons with Disabilities, which addresses disability rights of people around the world.
Dole, who turned 89 in July, has been fighting a leg infection since 2009.
An injury in World War II left his right arm disabled and his left arm partially disabled.


text: Hello! I'm interviewing for a new job on Monday and I really want it. I don't plan to bring up pumping until after I'd start, of course, but am wondering when others brought it up. I'm also a bit worried because my son will be over a year old when I'd start and I've noticed a bias against supporting bfing beyond one year at my current job (and among my immediate family, but that's another story!). I think I'd only need to pump once a day, but it takes me over a half-hour (I get 8 oz, just slowly). Your advice and experiences are appreciated. THANK YOU!!!

A little bummed
Just now got a chance to post about this weekend and I hate to say I am a little bummed.
I had everything ready for last weekend. Got all the flies and everything I thought I would need so I could get up early Saturday so I was REAL excited about getting to go out early on Saturday especially after all the rain and cooler temps. Well it did not work out exactly how I expected.
First I could not sleep Friday Night because I think I was so excited.
I get up early Saturday anyway. Drive all the way up to the end of the gravel road past Tremont.
Get out and Hike up past (what I would call the chutes).
I think I may have been the first fisherman up there. A couple of hikers where there but did not see another fisherman.
Well I start casting and realize I am having a hard time seeing my Parachute Adams so I switch to a yellow stimulator so I can see it better and I was expecting to catch them on the Green Weenie anyway.
Well I pick up my rod right above the connection on my 2 piece rod. It snaps right in my hand. I did not even go to pick it up I was just starting to get to grab further down with my other hand.
I am real disappointed.
I try to do some work to get it to connect again at least to try and catch something. Needless to say but it did not work.
Oh well the fish ain't going anywhere. I got to be out in God's country for a bit. So it was not a complete loss.
The only problem I got now is don't have another rod and don't know when I will get one. I was wanting something smaller anyway.
BTW does anyone know what kind of a warrenty Orvis Rods have. I bought it right before Christmas last year. It was the Clearwater beginner Pack or somethin like that. Just wondering if they will do anything for me.
Thanks for letting rant and feel sorry for myself.
God Bless
Re: A little bummed
I think Clearwaters carry 25 year warranty, at leas they used to. The problem is if they consider it manufacture defect or not. If not you are responsible for the breakage.
Re: A little bummed
I am sooo sorry about your day. Hans was correct, the Orvis Clearwater carries a 25 year unconditional warranty. The streamline series did not originally carry a warranty, but they will do a repair now for $50.00.
We can help you send your rod in for repair. Just bring it by or give me a call...

Re: A little bummed
WOW.......talk about service.....this why everyone loves LRO so much......
btw.....heading down Wedn. Aug 2, keep a few brookies in the water for me (we don't get them in Ohio & I can't wait to catch my first....)
Heaven seems a little closer .........on a Smoky Mountain stream.......
Jeremiah 29:13
Re: A little bummed
Both my son and I have Clearwater series outfits. He broke his last summer. When I checked into it, I was told that they both had lifetime, unconditional warranties. In fact, I still have the original warranty card and it states very clearly that should it ever break - for any reason - they will replace it. So I had his shipped back to Orvis and they sent a brand spanking new rod back about four weeks later. I only had to pay for shipping. The only negative thing in the whole deal was that Orvis sent him a completely new rod. I know... sounds like a good thing, not a bad thing. But we bought our rods about three years ago and we both feel they were of better manufacture than the current Clearwater rod - something about the new UV coating, maybe? Anyway, it can't hurt to send yours back.
As to the "perfect size", well, that's very subjective. My rod is the 7'9" 5 wt. full-flex Clearwater and my son's rod is the 9' 5wt. mid-flex Clearwater. Most days I feel my rod is the smarter choice for these small mountain streams. But other days I wish I had that additional length. I think I've finally figured out what it is. For dry flys, the 7'9" is more than enough rod for every stream conditon I've encountered. But for nymphing, I'd really like to have that extra foot or so. It would greatly help for Byron's "high-sticking".
Good luck with Orvis.

Re: A little bummed
When I sent my Reddington rod back to be replaced, they asked that i send the whole rod back so they could try to fix it and donate it to the boy scouts. My rod wasn't really broke, I tore off one of the guides while trying to pull it apart, I also ripped a big gash in my hand .
Re: A little bummed
I know this is of little consolation now, but for the future, do yourself a favor and get a second rod for a back-up. If money is an object as it is with me, it doesn't have to be a nice rod, could be a second-hand rod or even a cheap dime-store rod. Believe me, you will be happy to have a Wal-Mart special in the trunk should this ever happen again (no offense to Byron & gang).
Please bear in mind that I have no idea what I am talking about.
Re: A little bummed
Thanks Paula I will try to give you call in just a bit.
Jack M.: I have thought about that very thing. I might have to look into that.
Re: A little bummed
Sad to hear your rod broke. You gotta carry duct tape. Assuming your rod was about 8.5 feet, you could have made an ugly 7.5 footer out of it by taping the overlapped, broken segments together, and wrapping that with some 3x tippet. Then you could have at least fished for a little while, and it would probably have worked better than you might think at first.

Deeplinks Blog posts about File Sharing
The L.A. Times Technology Blog hits the nail on the head, responding to news that the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has sent out letters asking for help investigating security breaches caused when government employees and contractors who use P2P software accidentally share information on networks like Lime Wire.
Earlier this week, reports that ISPs were going to be cooperating with the RIAA's "three strikes" plans triggered alarm bells. Three-strikes proposals to kick customers off the Internet for alleged file-sharing have struggled to find acceptance across the world, so it seemed unusual for American ISPs to be contemplating plans that would result in the termination of paying customers. Major ISPs must have seen the storm clouds of user dissent brewing as well, as AT&T and Comcast quickly issued emphatic denials to the rumors that they were interested in becoming IP enforcers for copyright holders.
As we've discussed previously, Choruss is the name of the new entity, backed by three major record labels, that is interested in granting blanket licenses to universities (and someday residential ISPs) to authorize the music swapping (on P2P and otherwise) that has become a fact of digital life. As a big fan of voluntary collective licensing, EFF is following the development of Choruss closely and with great hopes. At the same time, there are many devils in the details.
Fortunately, the public debates about Choruss (which is still a work in progress) have begun, with those on both sides contributing valuable thoughts about the advantages and disadvantages of Choruss (or any system like Choruss):
The battle to control online music has taken a particularly outrageous turn. As if private censorship, fines, intimidation and blacklisting weren't enough, now the Department of Justice — for the first time we're aware of — is threatening to throw a man in jail for noncommercial music-sharing.1
EDUCAUSE, the nonprofit for information technology in higher education, has posted a one hour conversation with Jim Griffin, the head of Choruss (and member of EFF's advisory board), about the major label effort to create a voluntary collective license for music file-sharing on campus.

Lindner hotels have received sustainability certification
Germany's sustainability and economics institute, Deutsches Institut für Nachhaltigkeit und Ökonomie (DINÖ), has assessed all Lindner Hotels & Resorts with regard to their sustainability. Certification is part of the company's internal sustainability strategy.
Assessed and found sustainable: All Lindner Hotels & Resorts have received certification from the Deutsches Institut für Nachhaltigkeit und Ökonomie (DINÖ). Altogether, 32 Lindner hotels, including properties in Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Oberstaufen, Speyer and at the Nürburgring, can now sport the green and blue eco label for "Guaranteed Sustainability 2014". Before being awarded the internationally recognized eco label, each property must offer proof of its commitment to ecology, economy and social responsibility in a two-stage assessment.
Top performance with regard to energy consumption and environmental protection In the on-site audits, the Lindner hotels perform particularly well with regard to energy consumption and environmental protection. As part of Lindner's in-house "EnergySave" project, normal light bulbs in all the hotels have been replaced by energy-saving light bulbs, motion sensors installed in the hallways, special water-saving taps installed, and the air-conditioning and heating adjusted to daily room occupancy. This has already cut energy consumption by around 10 to 15 percent across the group.

- Abstract
- Lasing in dye solution-embedded inverse silica opal structures was investigated. The opal films were prepared by sedimentation of polystyrene microspheres on a cover glass. The polystyrene structures were inverted using sol-gel infiltration of silica and subsequent removal of polystyrene. Photoluminescence of rhodamine (rhodamine B, 6G and sulfo-rhodamine 101) dye solutions embedded into the inverse silica opal structures exhibited clear signatures of the lasing via a distributed feedback (DFB) and gain modulation. The refractive index contrast between the dye and the inverse opal was small enough (∼ 0.03%) for the formation of refractive index coupling between the lasing modes. The lasing spectrum exhibited a highly regular periodic structure of modal peaks, rather than the chaotic superposition of peaks reported in previous studies. Lasing modes having a spectral width of about 0.25 nm and a free spectral range of about 0.75 nm appeared at the position of the maximum gain (the maximum fluorescence of the dye).

Big Thank You to yoko71 from me, too!
"Whenever I was about to become 'Tengu' (=boaster/high nosed/over confident) [upon big success/having achieved something remarkable], some other incidents happened, as if to stop me from being such a person and reminded me who I was after all."
I love his honesty and humbleness.

Phillies World Series Artifacts are head for the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.
World Series artifacts heading to Hall
Hamels' jersey, Upton's spikes to be featured in Cooperstown
Fittingly, it is being commemorated for generations of fans to come at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y. Many artifacts that were used in this Fall Classic were donated by humbled players after the Phillies' 4-3 clinching victory over Tampa Bay on Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park. Those items will go on display at the Hall of Fame in mid-November. They include:
• Cole Hamels' No. 35 home pinstriped jersey that he wore in Game 5: Hamels was 4-0 in the postseason and was named World Series MVP.
"That's something I never expected," he said, wearing the jersey underneath two layers of shirts during the clubhouse celebration. "It's a tremendous experience and an honor for them to want to take something from me. This whole fifth game will be a trivia question for the next 100 years, and I get to be a part of it."
• Jayson Werth's spikes: His single in the bottom of the sixth, right after play resumed, drove in pinch-hitter Geoff Jenkins to give Philadelphia a temporary 3-2 lead. He also stole three bags in the series, including one in Game 5.
"Gosh, what an honor," Werth said on the Citizens Bank Park field, as players celebrated there with family, friends and fellow Phillies personnel. "I mean, really, step back and think about that. I come from a long line of baseball players, and I'm thankful to them. My grandfather was a ballplayer. My stepdad [Dennis Werth] played in the big leagues. We're just baseball players, not Hall of Famers. For me to have something go there to Cooperstown, that's unbelievable."
• Joe Blanton's bat that he used to hit the fabled home run in Game 4: It marked the first time since Ken Holtzman of Oakland in 1974 that a pitcher homered in the World Series.
"As a pitcher, it's not what you expect," Blanton said. "Very possibly the last thing you expect. But just to have a piece of your playing equipment go to the Hall of Fame is so special. Not every player can say he has something there."
Blanton said he has not been to Cooperstown, and this will nudge him in that direction.
"Now, I have another good reason," he said. "One of those things I've never been able to do for whatever reason. But I grew up in a baseball family and definitely will go now."
• Ryan Howard's bat used in Game 5: The 2008 National League MVP candidate busted out just in time during this postseason, hitting two homers in Game 4 to give him three long balls in the World Series.
"That would be cool," he said with a big grin, shortly after Hall of Fame President Jeff Idelson received his permission to take the lumber back to Cooperstown.
• Eric Bruntlett's cap: He broke up a Game 2 shutout with a solo homer off rookie David Price in the eighth inning at Tropicana Field during the Rays' 4-2 victory. But his most memorable moment in this Fall Classic came when he scored the winning run on Carlos Ruiz's 30-foot walk-off chopper in Game 3, giving Philly the World Series lead for keeps. Bruntlett also scored the go-ahead run on Pedro Feliz's RBI single in the clincher on Wednesday.
"We had a lot of good fortune that inning," Bruntlett said that night. "It's one of those deals where it feels like it's in slow motion. I feel like I should be moving faster, but can't. You want to get there so quickly. It feels like a long 90 feet."
• Ruiz's helmet: It's what he was wearing when he mashed that ball into the ground to put the perfect ending to Game 3 for Phillies faithful. This was the World Series when a lot of baseball fans got to know more about the catcher from Panama.
"We were so hungry for this, we wanted this title," Ruiz said. "I want to thank Panama for supporting me and the Phillies all year long. I want all of Panama to enjoy this with me. This was a great season and a great organization. This is for all of us."
• The cap Brad Lidge wore in Game 5 when he saved the Series-clinching win for the Phillies.
• B.J. Upton's spikes and Joe Maddon's flap-cap: Upton had four steals in the World Series, including the one on the mud going into second base just before the Game 5 suspension on Monday, and the Rays wound up with a postseason-record 25 steals. Maddon managed the Rays from a 2007 last-place finish into a World Series team, and that flap-cap became a much-discussed piece of headwear in this cold, final week of the 2008 baseball season. Consider this a Cooperstown tip of the cap.
"I thought we presented ourselves really well," Maddon said. "And I think all this country now knows who we are, as well as the world, the baseball world." (H/T baseballhalloffame.org)
Interesting choices of some of the equipment that they plan to put on display. I wonder how many of the players will later be joining as members? Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
Correction: The writer of the article, Mr. Newman, has just informed me in the comments section that the bat that Howard gave to the Hall should be listed as from Game 4, not 5.
6 Comments
HOFers from this year's series as I see it:
Ryan Howard
Jimmy Rollins
Chase Utley
Cole Hamels
That's not to say I don't think others could make it. I just think we've seen enough from these guys to know that they've got the longevity to make it.
Congrats for making the top 10! My advice is to keep commenting on other MLBlogs, welcome rookies here, always leave your full URL. Best way to draw crowds. Best,
We'll see what the future will hold for those four, as I myself thought that Bowa, Luzinski, Maddox and Rose would all be getting hellos from the hall. All that we'd gotten for the 1980 team, so far, is Schmidt and Carlton. I'll wait to see how they do, career-wise.
To Mark: Thanks for the congrats and the advice.
Great story! 🙂
Actually here's how that worked. I was one of a few people trying to interview Howard while Utley was hosing him with champagne and soaking my notebook. Then the head of the Hall of Fame asked him if he would mind giving up his bat to the Coop, and he was honored. Then while I was interviewing Hamels, Jeff asked if he'd give up the game jersey, and Hamels said he was actually wearing it under two other shirts at that moment. So I decided to just follow around the Hall folks and write a story for MLB.com and the Hall of Fame site, and then wrote that story along with a few others in the CBP media workroom. There are a few other items as well, and as a slight correction, that's Howard's Game 4 bat and not his Game 5 bat. Will be cool to see it all on display in Cooperstown.
Mark: Well, I hope the fans who will be going to the Hall during the next few months will be enjoying themeselves as they see all of the equipment representing this year's World Series at the Hall. It's quite obvious by the article and your comment here that the players are honored having their equipment at the Hall.

Sad face
I'm back early–only 11 PM!–from the party I went to (crowded! hot! trendy!), and the boyfriend and I just watched the end of the game on DVR.
Let's just say at the party there was an open bar. And I had a few. (By which I mean, I had 2 drinks. As a not huge drinker, Zoe has a low tolerance. Or, in common parlance, we might say she is a "cheap date." Especially at an "open bar.")
Needless to say…even only seeing the last few minutes…
I don't. Want. To talk. About it.
How am I going to sleep?
But feel free to say things to make me feel better.

Pedro got much love from the Red Sox fans tonight (I was there and one of the Sox fans giving the love)…
Don't know if that'll cheer you up any – but I figured it was nicer than rubbing it in. 🙂
Um, let's see, "Major League Baseball plays the longest regular season of any sports league and thus one day does not a season make." Or better yet, "One more day till Mets vs. Yankees."
Please do not seek revenge upon us.
Hold that frustration/retaliation until Friday, then let it all out with a vengence.
Mark, I am liveblogging 7/1/06 for the Mets vs. Yanks.

The Corpus Christi Regional Transit Authority currently contracts with Tianjin Pipe Company (TPCO) to provide two vans for the transportation of workers from two apartment complexes in Portland to the TPCO facility in Gregory. The company expects the number of workers using the service to increase, so the Transit Authority requested the use of buses rather than vans.
The Portland City Council reviewed the Transit Authority's request to operate buses in Portland during a regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday. City Manager Randy Wright said there was no direct cost to the city. There could, however, be costs associated with pavement damage due to buses starting and stopping at bus stops. The Transit Authority will be responsible for any direct damage resulting from the use of buses on city streets.
Councilman Gary Moore asked if the initiative would open the door for additional Transit Authority services in Portland.
"We'll only provide transportation for what is funded," Transit Authority Director of Operations Rosa Villarreal said. "In the future, if Portland wanted public transit, that would be a whole other avenue."
Councilman John Green asked if one bus would be sufficient to transport all employees.
"We're looking at transporting 40 to 50 employees, which one bus will accommodate," Villarreal said. "Every bus can hold 75 to 80 people."
Villarreal said additional Portland residents—including those who don't work at TCPO— could ride the bus, although no additional stops would be considered.
"Our charter rules prohibit us from making it a private bus," she said. "Anybody could ride it, but it is only going to go to TCPO and the apartment complexes."
TCPO Director of Administration J.J. Johnston said the employees that need transportation are from China—where the company's headquarters is—and don't have drivers licenses.
"They're typically here for two to three months, then they go back to China," Johnston said. "They have to leave for VISA reasons."
The employees live at Portland's Lands End Apartments and The Pavilions.
"We notify the apartments of the different tenants," Johnston said.
Most of the employees in need of transportation are engineers, Johnston said.
"The project could go on for awhile," he added. "We'll have 200 to 300 people working, but less than 50 will be from China."
The TCPO facility will make seamless steel pipe.
"We'll be taking about 700,000 tons of scrap out of landfills," Johnston said. "We'll produce 500,000 tons of seamless steel pipe in 2017."

Housed in the East End District, we offer courses in and access to our rapid prototyping lab, woodshop, machineshop, electronics lab, and a wide variety of other tools. Our goal is to educate the public about technology and show how seemingly complex techniques can be used by anyone. If you like what we do, please donate.
