In case you're tempted to show your Facebook friends and Twitter followers how you voted, remember it's illegal in Wisconsin to post photos of completed ballots.
State law prohibits voters from showing their completed ballots to anyone. The intent is to prevent people from selling their votes and then showing their ballots as proof they voted as requested.
Technically, the violation is a Class I felony, punishable by up to 18 months in prison and a $10,000 fine. However, prosecutors probably wouldn't be aggressive about seeking charges.
The state Government Accountability Board first reminded voters of the law this summer ahead of a major recall election. Spokesman Reid Magney said at the time it was a gentle reminder, and he wasn't aware of anyone being charged for posting photos.

Reference material about some of the awards and recognitions available to Boy Scouts.
This book helps council and district advancement committees understand and implement the advancement programs and procedures of the Boy Scouts of America. Regardless of the structure in a council or a district, advancement must be promoted, as detailed in this book, to achieve a successful program in the lives of youth members.
Centennial Recruiter Patch Boy Scouts can earn a new Centennial Recruiter patch by recruiting a boy into their troop this fall.
The Conservation Good Turn is an opportunity for Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, Varsity Scout teams, and Venturing crews to join with conservation or environmental organizations (federal, state, local, or private) to carry out a conservation Good Turn in their home communities.
The centennial edition of the Boy Scout Handbook will soon be available, and with the new handbook come several rank requirement changes that will be in effect as of January 1, 2010. A Scout should complete the requirements he is working on, and when he advances to the next rank he should then begin using the new requirements.
This series of videos (which may also be downloaded as podcasts) demonstrate how to fulfill each and every requirement for the first three ranks of Boy Scouting.
A new feature is available to Scouts and leaders to help a Scouts complete the new First Class requirement that states he must invite a friend to a troop meeting or activity.
To earn the Eagle Scout rank, the highest advancement rank in Scouting, a Boy Scout must fulfill requirements in the areas of leadership, service, and outdoor skills.
You can post this sign at the location of your Eagle Scout leadership service project. Fill in the details with a marker, and you and your unit will have instant community recognition. The sign measures 26" X 16" and comes with a collapsible frame. Item No. 32104, available from www.scoutstuff.org.
The BSA Ready & Prepared Award was developed to encourage and reward Boy Scout troops, Varsity Scout teams, and Venturing crews that incorporate safe practices while enjoying challenging activities.
The Hometown U.S.A. Award is a joint program between Keep America Beautiful Inc. (KAB) and the Boy Scouts of America. It is designed to give recognition to the outstanding efforts of Scouts in their communities in regard to citizenship and environmental improvement.
Emergency management, emergency preparedness, and disaster services are common throughout the United States—we take care of each other. By whatever name, these activities encompass mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery related to any kind of disaster, whether natural, technological, or national security. Emergency preparedness means being prepared for all kinds of emergencies, able to respond in time of crisis to save lives and property, and to help a community—or even a nation—return to normal life after a disaster occurs.
Two important challenges in preparing youth for the 21st century—particularly in today's increasingly automated and sedentary culture—are physical fitness and good health. Every adult leader for the year 2002 should set the example and contribute directly to the health and fitness of today's Scouts by completing requirements for the BSA Physical Fitness Award.
You can learn about sports, crafts, science, trades, business, and future careers as you earn merit badges. There are more than 100 merit badges. Any Boy Scout may earn any merit badge at any time. You don't need to have had rank advancement to be eligible.
To encourage members to grow stronger in their faith, religious groups have developed religious emblems programs.
To encourage members to grow stronger in their faith, religious groups have developed the following religious emblems programs. The Boy Scouts of America has approved of these programs and allows the emblems to be worn on the official uniform. The various religious groups administer the programs. Check with your local council service center or contact the religious organization directly to obtain the curriculum booklets.

A Tribute to Trevor
The first time I ever saw you live was June 23, 2005, at my first Padres game. I wasn't a Padres fan, in fact, I thought baseball was kind of boring. I had heard of you before, who in San Diego hadn't? You were the only person I associated with the Padres. I don't remember much about that game. But you did pitch that day, in the 10th with the game tied. You've always been horrible in tie games. (Note to Milwaukee: whatever you do, do NOT put Trevor in to pitch in tie games!!) This game was no different. You gave up the winning homer. I don't remember seeing you pitch, but I can say that I was there.
In 2006, I attended another game, and after that, I was hooked. One of my best experiences involving you was your record-breaking 479th save. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon near the end of the season. I was in my room with the radio cranked. My parents had their radio way loud, too. It was so amazing to hear the call of the save, and to hear the interview and analysis afterwards. I was so happy for you that I almost started crying. I remember wishing so much that I could be there. I still have the newspapers from that wonderful weekend. You were my favorite player.
I went into the 2007 season as a Padres fan. You had a great year. There are so many stories I could share, but let's just say that I was super excited when you got a save, and pretty disappointed when you blew one. The day you got #500 was very exctiting for me. I didn't get to hear it live, but I've watched it a lot since. In September 2007, I headed down to PETCO with my sister and two friends to celebrate my birthday. We got BP balls from the groundskeeper, and when we got into the stadium, we went towards the right field line. There you were, streching near the visitor's bullpen. I was so excited to see you. I was pretty much awe-struck. When you were done streching, you stopped by to sign autographs. And I got it, on my BP ball. I think I squeezed in between a bunch of people, and just stuck my hand in there. It was so cool, and that ball is very special to me.
Game 163 hurt, badly. I was really confident in you, but you blew it. That was truly devastating, hearing you fall apart on that field. But the way you handled the situation, taking the blame, and giving no excuses was just incredible.
On August 14, 2008, I finally got to see Trevor Time. In the bottom of the 8th, the score was 3-1 Pads. My Padres got Kouzmanoff on, but I desperately didn't want Chase Headley to get a hit! He didn't, and so the game headed into the top of the 9th. One of my goals in 2008 was to see Trevor Time. I wanted to see it before you retired. And there I was. I had been watching you warm up in the bullpen. I could tell it was you by the leg kick, and the way you pitch. It was incredible to watch the Trevor Time, to hear "Hell's Bells". I was screaming like crazy and taking countless pictures. You did give up a home run to Mike Cameron, but you did it. You closed your 550th save. I am so thankful that I was able to be there, to see it before you left.
Trevor, you are a Padre. No matter where you go, you are and always will be a Padre. You've been here for 16 years. In 1998, "Hell's Bells" debuted and you became San Diego's hero. Over the 16 years with us, you collected 552 saves. You broke the all-time saves record right here in San Diego. You got 500 and 550 here. You represented the Padres 6 times in the All-Star game. You've been here for so long, done so much for this team, and how are we supposed to say goodbye to you?
We love you. We love Trevor Time. We love your humbleness, your humor, and the way you play the game. The front office is eager to let you go, but we aren't. We aren't ready to watch you walk away. We want you to stay, to end your Hall of Fame career here. It's not going to happen, but we wish so much that you could have stayed. We will miss you so much.
It will be so different without you here at PETCO. I will miss you so much, but I hope you have a great year with the Brewers. I will be following all you saves. I miss you, Trevor.

Looks like the Padres are falling apart all over the place… hopefully new ownership will bring some reasons to feel good about the team.
Wonderful tribute, Kaybee. The Padres have the potential to come back and be good again like in 2007. I think new ownership will help that. Hopefully new ownership will bring back your Trevor. And hopefully he won't have any resentment due to current ownership.
You almost brought tears to my eyes, Kaybee! Very touching tribute. As I was reading it, I imagined how I'd feel if Mo Rivera, the Yankees' long time closer, ever left. I'd be sobbing for sure.
Kaybee – that was beautiful! I hope your team has a good year, that the new owners will make things right and that you will make peace with Trevor not being with you!
Hoffman should read that. That is a touching tribute, "I think he'd cry." Just like when Wayne Gretzky left for L.A.
I'm sure when Trevor settles in with the Brewers he will sit in the bullpen wishing he could have another save in San Diego. No matter the jersey though you are right he will be a Padre. Nice tribute. Nice ranking too over there rockstar!
JEFF, I really hope so too!
JEN, I think Trevor really appreciates the time that he got to play here in San Diego, and hopefully there will be no hard feelings. But I wouldn't blame him if he did🙂
JANE, I'm glad it was touching. It's tough to lose a favorite player, but I will get over it eventually. Having this blog to rant about it has really helped!
JULIA, I think I am. I know I will eventually get totally over it, thanks for the good wishes!
JEREMY, I was actually thinking about sending it to him as fan mail in the care of the Brewers. I don't know if he would ever get to it, but it's worth a try!
TOM, I sure he will. He will read this blog, then sit there and think, "Kaybee was right." He will get very distracted when he's pitching, and the Brewers will get so annoyed that they send him back to the Padres…right. A girl can dream…
Oh Kaybee, now you made me cry! I miss him really, really bad.. PETCO park is going to be so strange now. Trevor was the only reason I attended few games. Just because of him. Game 163 killed my heart. I put my trust in him but he blew it. He had ups and downs with San Diego, but he would never, ever give up. And that's the part I love about Trevor Hoffman. He goes out there and wants to save. That's his job. He's been doing that for quite a long time. Breaking the all-time save record was truely amazing. Trevor WILL be our Padre even if he's with the Brewers. Man, I just wish that Trevor could retire here, and not somewhere else! Trevor, thanks for the memories, histories, and everything else, in San Diego. You are a great man. Hopefully, just hopefully, you can come back in 2010 season.

top 3 & bottom 3
Posted 25 February 2013 - 10:20 AM
i just thought it would be interesting if people named their top 3 players who they most enjoyed watching for Barrow.
Also the bottom 3, as in the most dissappointing players to pull on a Barrow shirt when you thought they would have been amazing.
I was thinking of keeping this to players from the year 2000 onwards.
mine would be -
Top 3
James King (big aggressive awesome player)
Andy Ellis (best hooker to wear the 9 shirt at Barrow)
Jamie Rooney (awesome in 2009)
Bottom 3
Adam Hughes (huge let down after he had previously destroyed us when at Oldham)
Pat Weisner (should have been brilliant at Barrows standard)
Mark Gleeson (one good game in a barrow shirt, and thats being kind)
it will be interesting to see other peoples opinions.
Posted 25 February 2013 - 10:54 AM
my top 3
1 Eddie Szymala my all time favourite player for barrow an absolute legend, i used to love it when he scored a try cos he did an immitation of a gunslinger, mental!! also he always started a fight and it got the crowd well fired up, unfortunately the miserable refs kept sending him off!!
2 Anthony Singleton came over here an unknown looked like a girl with his curly perm but had a sledge hammer of a hand off as i think half the whitheaven team can vouch for when he swatted them off like flies on his way to a full length try
3 Pat Trainor he had the best ever side step in the game, he used to spot the biggest bloke in the opposition team and run flat out straight at him!! I remember in a game at Barrow against widnes, when they were good, Andy Currier, an international thought he was gonna score a try but didn't reckon on Pat coming from nowhere and launching himself full tilt at him boooom!!! as far as i know currier never played international again after that tackle!!
my bottom 3
1 Paul Noone a most apt name but should have had a hyphen in the middle cos I would rather we had no-one than him! did absolutely nowt in all the games he played except prance around giving orders out to players around him. never returned the ball from his own half never broke a tackle and was always third man into most tackles but apparently he did the stuff you don't notice!!
2 Nigel Simpson a big roid head who played on the wing, over six feet and about 16 stone of juice induced muscles thought he was some kind of eddie szymala wannabe but was just a big thicko who couldn't play rugby (hope he's not still in barrow and reading this!!)
3 Sid Lowden not too many will remember this bloke signed for barrow because his dad was supposed to have been a good player!!! but by the looks of him I think the board signed his grandad!! played like a grandad too bloody hopeless!!

this has the potential to be the best thread on this board. I cant believe there's only been 4 comments on here too, surely everyone has an opinion on this subject, It's better than the boring threads on here like which director does the most work or which player is dual reg'd with which club.
how about holty and the vet making there comment on here too, there on here plenty so get your finger out and post!!
Posted 25 February 2013 - 08:33 PM
Ned- even on an off day absolute class
James king- loved it when it got tough, always stood up to be counted
The bull- on his day unstoppable
The new signings in 2005 bar Freddie zitter- all average at best
Pat weisner- stole a living here
And last Ryan Tandy. Not for playing ability he was just an absolute #####, horrible to all younger lads
Posted 25 February 2013 - 08:53 PM
pre 2000
Top 3( many many more as well)
Ian Ball - pure class going forward, superb goalkicker and tactical kicker
Steve Tickle - best never capped fullback during the early /mid eighties
Andy Whittle - again pure class with a brilliant sidestep cruelly career stopped short by injury
Bottom 3
Alun Evans - big puddin
Jimmy Nulty - so much promise when signed but injury buggered that up
Steve Norton (well past his sell by date)
Post 2000

Ned Catic - brilliant forward
Michael Knowles - very underrated and showed how good he is by getting MoM in last years grand final

Mark Gleeson - bloody rubbish

Holty- best half back at the club in the last 20 years,great kicking game,clubs record points scorer and kept winning MOM's even when he wasn't!
Tane Manihera- THE most naturally talented player in the last 20 years,what he could do with the ball was ridiculous ,especially at training it would be like how has he just done that
Anthony Singleton- I played in that game at Haven and 'that' try is the best I have witnessed,if anyone has seen Ellery Hanleys try at the start of his career for Bradford when he handed off people down the touch line at Headingly,well that was the double of Singers
Brett Mc
James King
Rod Maybon
Cliff Beverley
Clint Barends- Aussie half back who couldn't pass,run,kick or tackle
Shaun Magnus- same as Clint
Richard Blackman- winger who thought he was Matin Offiah,he obviously wasn't
Mike Whitehead
Gary Spenceley
Darren Wilson

Posted 25 February 2013 - 11:18 PM
Derek hadlee, best loose forward not to be an international. The guy was brilliant, even the try he should have scored when he celebrated before putting the ball down and the defender got back just in time to knock the ball loose is amazing. The kind of thing if you didn't see it the you wouldn't believe it.
Phil hogan - always destined for bigger things than barrow. Made the club a lot of money when signing for hull kr. His ginger locks were sat on the top of a very fast forward who could easily slot into centre.
Gary broadbent - class player, shame he only spent three seasons at barrow. Best fullback I've seen in a barrow shirt, tough as old nails. Would run straight at anyone when returning ball back. I'd like to see him in a coaching role at barrow at some point.
Bottom three
Sonny nickle - saints just took the ###### out of us there, I was really excited when he "signed" for us then the disappointment!
Pat weisner - start of the big Johnson signings along with smith who was also a let down. Also, he took the wazz out the club (like many others!). Comically left the club car at the airport!
Richard fletcher - destroyed us at Blackpool in the final, signs for us and does nothing. Huge let down! Came to us after being named in championship dream team. I was expecting him to do to teams what he had done to us down at the Blackpool final.
There's so many more I could list in a let down list but them ones there have always annoyed me.
Posted 25 February 2013 - 11:40 PM
Broadbent, toughest player i've seen the game against fax where he got slammed into the wall head first and still came on in the 2nd half will stick in my memory for a long time!
Bull, always gives 100% really surprised he's stuck at this level and not gone higher for so long
Andy Ellis, nothing really needs to be said, absolute class
Bottom 3
Fat Pat, took the pee out of the club and was average at best
Gleason, absolute garbage! didn't have one good game for us!
Richard Fletcher, Made little impact and i bet he was on a fair packet while he was at us

Your credibility on this message board has suddenly hit an all time low. Your assessment of Steve Norton is extremely accurate - in fact he was so far past his sell by date that he never played for the club!! He came here as a coach and never appeared as a player for the club.
Posted 26 February 2013 - 07:06 AM
Mr Walneyboy it's been a pleasure to see you back on the board giving your refreshing opinions over the last week or so, from playing experiences from 1993-2007 in no particular order
Good to see you posting on this vet, some good names there, I do remember that clint barends and agree with you that he was useless, quite surprised you haven't mentioned terry bullen in there!!
I suppose if your mate holty posts he'll put you in his top three too!!
Posted 26 February 2013 - 07:21 AM
Bill Burgess - an absolutely superb winger who had few (if indeed any) peers in that position. He was up there with the likes of Boston, Van Vollenhoven et al and really was a class act.
Phil Hogan - at his peak there was no finer sight than Phil in full flight. He was a magnificent running forward who could also perform at centre. He was so good that Hull KR spent a world record £35,000 to buy him. To put that into perspective Barrow bought Ian Ball, Steve Tickle and Nigel French with the proceeds and still had some change left over.
Gary Broadbent - Along with Steve Tickle, Eddie Tees and Tommy Dawes, comfortably the best full back Barrow has had in my fifty odd years of watching. Gary just gets the nod even though he played for the club at a lower level than the other three. He was so, so reliable and consistent and I am certain he could have been as good in any era.
All three of the above would have a place in any Barrow team in any era in my opinion.
My bottom 3.
There have been some shockers and I wouldn't disagree too much with Phil Atky's assessment in this category.
Posted 26 February 2013 - 08:30 AM
Ned Catic - Great player, great guy too
Andy Ballard - Superb winger, and that try at Castleford will live long in my memory
Broady - Never seen him have a bad game, fantastic full back
Gleeson - Woeful, went missing more than Lord Lucan
Zeb Luisi - Can count the number of times he had a good game on my little finger
Holty (Only joking!) James Coyle - Thought he was average at best

Posted 26 February 2013 - 10:30 AM
well done to those who have contributed so far.
Its also good that people have shared a little bit about the players such as WalneyBoy and The Vet have done.
it also interesting to read that Tandy used to bully Beechy, Tandy certainly never bullied anyone on the pitch for Barrow!
quite shocked that Rooster has named Luisi in his bottom 3, i always though big Zeb was good.

My LO is almost 6 months old, and just cut his first few teeth.
A couple of months ago, we introduced him to pumped breastmilk bottles, and after some convincing he took to them. Perhaps too well. He started getting very fussy at feedings: latching on, sucking for a couple of minutes, then pulling off, sticking his hands in his mouth, and (sometimes) screeching. He would still take a bottle no problem, and down 5 or more oz of milk, so it seems he was still hungry. We thought this might be nipple confusion, and so stopped giving him bottles, and he got a bit better about taking the breast, but never really went back to his former non-fussy ways.
Now that he's really getting into the teething, he's been getting fussier, and we're worried he's not getting enough milk (he is a long "lean" baby, he looks alright but doesn't have much baby chub to spare). My supply has also significantly decreased in the past two months, as he hasn't been as persistent. He does feed well at night, but we've been trying to feed him less at night, as he's demonstrated the ability to sleep through the night on several occasions and our Ped suggested we wean him off of night feedings.
We decided to give him pumped breastmilk again today, to see if he was still hungry after feedings, and to boost my supply a bit.
He's been fussier than ever, and won't latch for more than a few seconds. I've tried giving him something cold to suck/chew on before feeding (chew toys and frozen wet washcloths), but he just sucks them for a few seconds before fussing again.
Is this just teething pain? Preference for a bottle? Both? I don't want to be pumping all the time, and I'd rather not increase his night feedings, but I don't know what else to do to make sure he gets enough milk.
He still has plenty of wet diapers.

What is in this article?:
- Child labor laws soon to change for agriculture
- The right balance?
- 'Sweeping' changes proposed, family farm exemptions untouched.
- Children of farmers working family operations remain exempted.
Long in the works, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is set to release proposed updates to child labor regulations aimed at safety concerns in agriculture-related jobs.
DOL officials -- who claim the fatality rate for teenagers working in agriculture is four times greater than the risk for the average working teenager -- say the proposals will not impact current exemptions for children of farmers working on family operations.
Exemptions for such children are "legislative and nothing in (these new regulations) would disturb that particular legislative provision," said Michael Hancock, DOL Assistant Administrator for Policy, during a Wednesday afternoon press conference.
For other farm-working youths, however, the proposed rules – which have not been updated since the 1970 Fair Labor Standards Act – would add new restrictions and flat-out bans. Among them:
- Strengthening of current child labor regulations prohibiting agricultural work with animals and in pesticide handling, timber operations, manure pits and storage bins.
- Prohibition of youths at country grain elevators, grain bins, silos, feed lots, stockyards, livestock exchanges and livestock auctions.
During the work-up of the new rules "It became apparent there were hazards in grain bins and other enclosed spaces where children were working both on farms and off," said Hancock. "There have been a number of fairly high-profile incidents involving children through engulfment or other tragic injuries and accidents. So, we saw this as an opportunity to also propose rules for grain bins and other such structures."
Prompted by later questions, Hancock said the new rules "would essentially preclude kids under 18 from being on the premises of a commercial grain elevator." While previous regulations attempted to address such situations "there was never any broad, sweeping prohibition on kids working in a grain elevator. It had to be specific -- like working with an augur or lift. We've concluded in grain elevators there are too many hazards and kids shouldn't be present in that work place."
- Prohibition of those under age 16 from participating in the cultivation, harvesting and curing of tobacco.
- Prohibition of youth in both agricultural and nonagricultural employment from using electronic, including communication, devices while operating power-driven equipment.
"'Distracted driving'," said Hancock, "was becoming a major issue that the Department of Transportation and DOL were interested in trying to address. We thought this was an opportunity to propose a regulation that affects not (only) children working on farms but also children employed in non-agricultural occupations.
"We thought it was worth the time and effort to pull the rule back and add additional provisions dealing with distracted driving."
- Prohibition of those under 16 years old from operating almost all power-driven equipment. A limited exemption would permit some student learners to operate certain farm implements and tractors, when equipped with proper rollover protection structures and seat belts, under specified conditions.
Hancock: "There are a number different changes and additions that deal with farm equipment generally – whether tractors or other power-driven machinery that we've concluded present an unacceptable risk to children.
In the proposed rules "we've identified a number of very specific implements in the work place that present an unnecessary and unacceptable risk to children. In most cases, they'll be precluded from working around those implements.
"There is a small window that still exists for children in a legitimate training/student learner program. That will allow them, under close supervision and after sufficient training, to continue to work with things like tractors."
According to a DOL press release, it is also proposing to create "a new nonagricultural hazardous occupations order that would prevent children under 18 from being employed in the storing, marketing and transporting of farm product raw materials."

Golf-view homes are about to become obstructed-view homes for dozens of people in Ewa. The city and county of Honolulu are about to sell some prime lots that have been sitting empty for more than a decade.
The city acquired the lots through the acquisition of the Ewa Villages revitalization project. Those in the neighborhood said they've been blindsided.
Now that 57 lots are going up for sale, homeowners are thinking, "There goes the neighborhood."
"We didn't expect them to start building. They didn't give us any notice or anything like that so we thought they weren't going to build because they haven't for so long," said neighbor Melissa Roach.
"It would be best if they don't because it's nice. It's nice just looking at that not so crowded," said neighbor Joshua Jaggers.
The lots average just over 5,400 square feet. They will front the 11th through 17th holes. Some say the best part of this area is how quiet it is.
"When they start building, it's going to be pretty loud and it's going to be pretty crowded for space for other cars to get through as well," said Roach.
Construction will be single-family homes.
Longtime neighbors said they do have to watch out for flying golf balls.
But for first time movers, it's not the hooks and slices, but the foot-wedge from developers that has them teed off.
"I don't know how I feel about so many houses coming up at once, and I wonder how that will affect the value of our home," said Celeste Tefan.
The lots are getting sold in an "as is" "where is" condition. The sale proceeds will credit the city's housing fund and pay down debt.
The lots start at $180,000; the deadline for sealed bids is Feb. 25. After that date, the bids will be publicly opened.

No. 2: The E-Mail Abuser
The annoying co-worker is the person who lacks a general sense of social graces and etiquette, regardless of the environment.
E-mail has become a great way to quickly and efficiently conduct business, but it also has the potential to be an informational wasteland and an environment where people can display their ignorance to large groups.
The annoying co-worker is the person who constantly forwards emails that he finds funny, uses the e-mail system to advertise his garage sales, and insists on "replying to all," even though the entire company does not need to see his response.
Since e-mail allows people to think before hitting "send," it would seem reasonable that individuals would have more time to ponder the wisdom of the email. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.
Clearly, the annoying co-worker can sometimes be identified by the lack of awareness, even if this includes his entire personality.
No. 1: The Clueless Colleague
When it comes to people, awareness can be hard to teach.
Unfortunately, this can extend to the workplace and people may find that certain co-workers have no idea about how they come across to others. This includes their vocal volume, conversational content, wardrobe, general popularity, skill set, and role in the company.
Sadly, some co-workers simply do not "get it," and everyone around them must navigate the awkward atmosphere that can go along with a clueless colleague.
In many offices, the generally unaware person fills the role of annoying co-worker, as everyone else must resist the temptation to tell this person on a daily basis that they are not in touch with reality. People that are not in touch with their surroundings can be inherently annoying in the workplace.

Illinois TIMSS scores support Learning Standards
April 4, 2001
Springfield – Illinois' scores
on the Third International Mathematics and Science Study-1999 (TIMSS)
underscore the State Board of Education's belief that the Illinois
Learning Standards are helping to improve student achievement.
the TIMSS-1999 data also illuminate the "achievement gap" between
students from wealthier backgrounds – who posted higher scores
on TIMSS-1999 – and low-income students who generally did not perform
as well.
Illinois' TIMSS-1999 scores were above the international and national
averages. They help
demonstrate that a rigorous, standards-led system that challenges
all students, when properly implemented, drives achievement upward," said
State Superintendent of Education Glenn W. McGee, speaking
today at a news conference about the new test scores.
is an international benchmarking study comparing the achievement
of eighth-grade students from Illinois and 12 other states, 14
districts or consortia taking the test independently and 38 countries
worldwide including the United States. The test was most recently
given in 1999.
assesses students on the same kind of challenging information as
standards-led tests like the Illinois Standards Achievement Test
(ISAT), McGee said. "Our
statewide scores indicate that our students can meet high expectations
like those set out in the Illinois Learning Standards. At
the same time, the scores also show that Illinois' best students
rank with the world's best students," he said.
District #203 scored higher in science than any other country,
state or school district/ consortium in the world. The First in
the World Consortium – a group of 18 northwest suburban school
districts – performed similarly to the top-performing countries
in both math and science.
"We will work with and learn from these fine school districts so that we can share their best practices with other districts," McGee said.
TIMSS-1999 data and other assessment results are important tools
for continuing to improve math and science achievement statewide,
he said. The State Board of Education has made mathematics one
of its top five education priorities. The
Board has also proposed that $8.6 million be appropriated for scientific
literacy programs statewide.
will use the new TIMSS-1999 data to help plan future education
initiatives, and to continue to promote the importance of math
and science as cornerstones of an effective education system," McGee
also praised the Chicago Public Schools for their participation
in the TIMSS assessment.
was one of only a few urban districts to voluntarily take part
in TIMSS-1999. Their
scores were below the international and U.S. averages for math
and science, but he lauded the state's largest district for its
courage and vision.
showed great commitment to its students and community by taking
part in TIMSS and pledging to use the data to improve its programs," McGee
said. "Everyone in District 299 will benefit from such leadership."
Achievement Gap. The
TIMSS-1999 scores also confirm, as illustrated by the Chicago
results, that poverty clearly has a negative impact on student
achievement, McGee said.
percent of Naperville District 203 students who took TIMSS-1999
reported having high levels of home educational resources available,
including a computer, more than 100 books in their homes, a study
table and dictionary, and at least one parent with a complete university
the percent of students who reported receiving free or reduced-price
lunches – a traditional indicator of poverty – also shows that
districts with more and better educational resources tend to post
higher TIMSS scores. Only
2 percent of Naperville's student body reported receiving free
or reduced lunches, compared to 71 percent of Chicago students.
have been saying for some time. The
state must dedicate its efforts to ensuring that each of our two
million students get the high quality education they need and deserve,
regardless of their socioeconomic status," McGee said.
The Results. When TIMSS was first given in 1995, about 2,400 Illinois eighth-graders
participated as part
of a national sampling. The First in the World Consortium took
the test separately to assess its own curriculum.
In 1999, 4,781 Illinois 8th graders took the TIMSS test. Another 1,132 Chicago students participated, along with 750 from the First in the World Consortium and 1,212 students from Naperville District 203.
the state's 1999 scores were above both the international and U.S.
Steps. "We
will use the new TIMSS-1999 data to help plan future education
initiatives, and to continue to promote the importance of math
and science as cornerstones of an effective education system, McGee said.
of the State Board's efforts will be to create a TIMSS-1999 Task
Force that will include representatives of Naperville, Chicago
and the First in the World Consortium. The
Task Force's efforts, plus staff analyses of the data, will yield
a great deal of information to help improve teaching and learning
in mathematics and science in Illinois schools.
the meantime, the State Board will offer professional development
opportunities in science through Building a Presence, a network
established by the National Science Teachers Association. It
links educators to a nationwide science learning community and
provides increased professional development opportunities for science
The State Board will also offer similar professional development opportunities in mathematics through CORD, an online algebra course for teachers; M2T2, Mathematics Materials for Teaching Teachers in the middle grades; an Administrators Academy component for training superintendents about mathematics instruction; and Math on Monday, a series of teacher workshops focusing on Illinois' five mathematics goals of number sense, algebra, geometry, measurement, statistics and probability.

Anti-piracy bills posed threat to online innovation
- published_in
- Guest Column
It brings us not only new jobs, but new ways to bring families closer together and to expand educational opportunities. That's why I'm so concerned about the unintended consequences of two bills before Congress: the House's Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Senate's Protect IP Act (PIPA). Both could do real damage to the online economy at a time when new jobs are needed in Colorado and across the nation.
While SOPA and PIPA differ in some technical aspects, both bills approach the Internet with the same wrongheaded approach.
We should protect American jobs by stopping unscrupulous overseas schemers from pirating our music, films and products. But SOPA and PIPA resort to job-killing litigation and Internet censorship methods such as those used in China to undermine political and religious freedom.
Both SOPA and PIPA would create an avalanche of litigation that could be used by large established companies to assault and destroy upstart competitors.
Through the private right of action provided under SOPA and PIPA, a big firm could call in its team of lawyers and sue a startup right out of business. The greatest sources of innovation and job-creation in the tech world launched from basement workbenches and even garages, which is where the late Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak formed Apple. How would they have survived with a threat like this looming over their heads?
The better approach to piracy is a bill called the OPEN Act, which I coauthored. This bill uses a targeted "follow-the-money" to eliminating foreign rogue websites.
Countries would work together under international trade law to block the forms of electronic payment that allow these sites to exist. We know this method works. When the money dries up, the sites die off. That's the way to go after piracy.
The good news is that Americans who value Internet freedom have flooded Capitol Hill with calls and emails in recent days in opposition to SOPA and PIPA. On Jan. 18, the largest Internet protest in history took place with more than 7,000 websites going offline for the day. Even content creators, the very people these bills purport to help, have realized that SOPA and PIPA are the wrong way to go about fighting piracy. As a result, legislators are rethinking their support.
The outpouring of grassroots opposition to SOPA and PIPA has been remarkable and it has forced the bills' authors to rethink their strategy. But we need to stay vigilant to protect the online economy and Colorado jobs. I'm going to keep working to make sure that we don't hurt innovation and job creation in the battle to stop piracy.

I have been using a nipple shield to breastfeed my infant (she was born at 36 weeks and is nine days old). I am concerned about my milk production. How much should I be pumping after each feeding?
I have been using a nipple shield to breastfeed my infant (she was born at 36 weeks and is nine days old). I am concerned about my milk production. How much should I be pumping after each feeding?
Hi! My daughter was born at 36 weeks 4days... so i feel your pain. I don't know your answer to your question, because i am still having problems with that, but, I will say that i was using the nipple shield too. And then i got so frustrated with fumbling with it that i spent some extra time - a long time- to try to get her to latch- and she did! So keep up the good work!! Good luck!
My lactation consultant told me to pump once in the morning and once at night. Have you spoken with a lactation consultant? Preferably an IBLC? She could also help you get off the shield when your baby is big enough to nurse without it.
Mommy to
Lilah 10/08 nursed 25 months
Beatrix 01/11 nursed 30 months
Quick question - if you are nursing with a nipple shield, why is it necessary to keep pumping? I've just finally gotten my LO to switch from bottle to breast (with a shield), and am wondering - do you need to keep pumping if your supply is already established? Thanks
Are you trying to establish your supply with the shield/pumping? Or are you in the same situation as me?
Congratulations on the new baby! Can you tell us why you're concerned about your supply?
There's no right answer to your question, for the following reasons:
- If the baby is nursing well at the breast, and having the right number of wet and dirty diapers, there's probably no need to pump
- Pumping is a learned skill, and it may take a while to get good output
- Babies are generally more efficient at emptying the breast than pumps are (though this is less often true when the baby is premature)
- Pump output varies based on how mom responds to pumping, on the make/model of pump being used, and on when mom is pumping
- At only 9 days old, your supply is still getting established, and it may not be all the way up yet
I agree w/PP about getting help from an LC.
My little girl (now 28 months old and still Bfing twice a day) was also 36 wks and I started using a nipple shield as well since she was having trouble latching on as well as staying awake long enough to eat well (she had Jaundice for quite a bit, photo therapy used at home for about a wk). I went to an LC and she helped me quickly wean off the nipple shield and helped my LO latch better . I use to pump practically after every feeding for a few min. to help w/my milk productions since she wasn't gaining a lot of weight and DH gave her a bottle of pumped milk every night to help out as well. But if your production is good, I don't see a need to pump. I never got a great output when pumping (I used both a lansinoh and a medela pump), it always took me at LEAST 2 pumping sessions to produce enough for 1 bottle . After using a scale at home for a few days and weighing her after every feed it was obvious that research is correct on that they get a lot more from the breast than you are able to pump.
My best advice to you is to go see and LC to help with the shield and to be patient and calm during your transition and nursing, it's a learning experience for both of you, but you're baby needs to feel that you're in control (even thought your not) and are calm through this.
Best of Luck!

The Navy has identified the SEAL member missing off Kaena Point as 33-year-old Matthew John Leathers of Woodland, Calif.
On Sunday, authorities suspended the search for Leathers. The sailor became separated from other members of his command on Feb. 19 during an open ocean swim training evolution off Oahu's Kaena Point.
More than 24,000 square miles were searched by Navy, Marine, Coast Guard, fire and lifeguard rescue crews.
John Salmonson, head of the Hawaii Ultra Running Team, is a friend of Leathers. Leathers was part of the team.
Salmonson says Leathers was "well-respected among his friends and Navy SEAL team. He was very well-liked in the local ultra running community."
Salmonson says Leathers was mentally strong and a very tough individual and what happened is very sad.
Leathers enlisted in the Navy on Aug. 11, 1998.
He reported to SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team One at Pearl Harbor on Aug. 24, 2004.
Leathers was awarded the Navy/Marine Corps Commendation Medal, the Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal and the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon.

ARRA Fraud Reporting Information
The U.S. Department of Education (Department) has requested the following information be distributed to all local education agencies, employees and contractors in relation to reporting fraud, waste, and abuse of funds made available by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
ARRA funds have provided an unprecedented opportunity to save jobs and advance reforms that improve student achievement. With this opportunity comes increased responsibility for all of us to conduct ourselves ethically and to mitigate the risk of waste, fraud, and abuse.
The Department, including the Office of Inspector General (OIG), works to ensure that education dollars reach intended recipients and serve intended purposes. ISBE will also work with the Department to ensure that these funds and programs funded by the Department are protected from fraud, waste, and abuse. As part of this important effort, the Department is providing several resources that describe fraud laws and how to report fraud at www.ed.gov/fraudprevention.
The OIG identifies and investigates individuals and groups who may have committed fraud with education funds or with respect to Department-funded programs. Each week, criminals are prosecuted and convicted, and receive sentences that include significant prison terms and monetary penalties. Cases have included school or college officials making false statements regarding grant eligibility and performance; creating false documents to obtain grants for students who do not attend the school or are enrolled in ineligible programs; setting up shell companies to which education dollars are funneled; embezzling money from school accounts; using school accounts and credit cards to make purchases for personal purposes; and accepting bribes and kickbacks from contractors.
Please help us put a stop to these crimes. In addition to reading and distributing this information, report any suspicion of fraud, waste, or abuse to the OIG Special Agent in Charge in your geographic area. Contact information is available at the following web site: http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/oig/oigaddress.html
You also may contact the OIG by e-mailing email@example.com; calling 1-800-MISUSED (1-800-647-8733); or writing to: Inspector General's Hotline, U.S. Department of Education, Office of Inspector General, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20202-1500.[return to top]

October 5, 2001: A very small, faint galaxy -- possibly one of the long sought "building blocks" of present-day galaxies -- has been discovered by a collaboration between NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the 10-meter Keck Telescopes at a tremendous distance of 13.4 billion light-years (based on the estimate of 14 billion years as the age of the universe). The discovery was made possible by examining small areas of the sky viewed through massive intervening clusters of galaxies. These act as a powerful gravitational lens, magnifying distant objects and allowing scientists to probe how galaxies assemble at very early times. This has profound implications for our understanding of how and when the first stars and galaxies formed in the universe.See the rest:
The gravitational field from any huge concentration of matter like a cluster of galaxies distorts and magnifies the light from distant galaxies that are behind it but in the same line of sight according to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. Gravitational lenses, the equivalent of nature's magnifying glasses in space, give researchers a unique tool with which to learn more about the detailed physics of very early galaxies that are undetectable with current technology and telescopes.
Abell 2218 is a rich galaxy cluster composed of thousands of galaxies and a mass equivalent to ten thousand galaxies interspersed throughout the cluster. The cluster is located relatively nearby — at a distance of 2 billion light-years (a redshift of 0.18). Redshift is the stretching of light waves as they travel across expanding space. The longer they travel, the more they are stretched, and the higher the measured redshift.
The recently discovered "baby galaxy" has a redshift of 5.58, corresponding to a distance of about 13.4 billion light-years. The galaxy's light has been magnified more than 30 times by Abell 2218 and split into two "images" by the uneven distribution of matter in the cluster. It has been determined that the amount of matter in the object is astoundingly low for a galaxy only a few million times the mass of our Sun, or about one hundred thousand times less than the amount of matter in our own Milky Way galaxy. The object is only around 500 light-years across, as compared to the 100,000 light-year diameter of the Milky Way.

What Would You Do?
Here's a really quick entry about Derek Jeter and his 3,000th hit ball. (I'll write a bigger entry when Jeter gets to 3,000.)
Quite simply, with the 3,oooth hit ball worth an estimated 300,000 to 400,000 dollars, what would you do if you caught the milestone hit? (Via Home run or Ground rule double?)
Would you give it back? Sell it? Trade it for some nice goodies? What?
Let me know what you would do, by leaving a comment. I want to hear your thoughts……….
(Even if you're reading this from twitter, please sign in and leave a comment.)

If it were me, I would just give it back. It's Jeter's and it would be wrong to try to make a profit out of it.
I would give it back to Derek Jeter but also would want some money out of it and some Jeter memorabilia and tickets to upcoming games. I want to WHOLE package if i gonna give you a ball probably worth millions of dollars after about 5-10 years.
Honestly, I would do some SERIOUS negotiating with Derek. I'm talking make me a deal to meet the WHOLE team, take pictures and get some autographs & front row tickets. Yeah, I could make up a whole list of what I could ask for but just the honor of catching that ball would mean SOO much to me🙂

Happy Saturday, everyone.
So, as you all may or may not know, I'm a beer guy. A beer connoisseur, if you may. For each game, I recommend a new brew for your enjoyment. I don't expect you to imbibe immediately, but at some point, I do hope you try the beers I suggest. You see, I believe beer is a drink to savor, to study, to sip. Beer is more than just Buds and suds.
Just to give you a glimpse of where I am: Last night I returned home from driving through a treacherous snowstorm, and ate dinner with a glass of Sam Adams Chocolate Bock. Now, the bock is only available at this time of year, and comes in a larger, wine-style bottle, costing about $14. But it's clearly worth the purchase — a stunning array of dark flavors, punctuated by the cool winter wind. Highly suggested.
Yes, this is the time of year when stronger beers are invited at my shelf. I enjoy the stouts, the porters and the bocks right now — I'll take a Guinness, I'll take a honey. As long as it's dark and hearty, I'll try it.
And to further quench your thirst, here are my favorite beers:
Harpoon Raspberry Hefeweizen UFO: The perfect combination of fruit and alcohol, and not too strong. The perfect late-spring, early-summer beer.
Sam Adams White Ale: Spicy but not intolerable, it goes down like a cool mist on a warm spring day. Best in April.
Opa Opa Milk Stout: Tried this not long ago — a nice amount of cream with the hard stout content. Great for January.
Harpoon Oktoberfest: Just a fantastic autumn beer; hidden spices mixed with a hearty ale.
Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale: Not too spicy, not too strong, but not light; it's easy to take in on a December night.
Yuengling Lager: Yes, I know, I'm pandering. Still, it was damn comforting to arrive at my new home and see Yuengling was at a premium. A fresh six pack rests in my fridge.
Okay, everyone, tell me about your favorite beers.

well i hate to it admit it, but due to my portly frame and tendency to drink a lot i drink Miller Lite, (that whole "less filling" thing). But when i'm not thinking about my weight i love Molson Canadian. Anything Belgium is delicious. Every Christmas i get a pint of Duval to drink while opening presents.
a few years ago i spent two weeks in Belgium and that was "Beer Mecca". i must have tried 40 different beers as the streets were lined with bars.
One of the things that got me hooked on this site was your gameday nod to (mostly) craft beers, my second love after the Phils. I'm a bit of a beer geek too and go out of my way to try everything I can. Some recent favorites I've been digging include:
– Nice surprises from Ipswich (Mercury Brewing); their Winter, Dark, and Original are all good.
– Coney Island Albino Python (Old Saratoga/Shmaltz) is a unique, strong, extra spicy take on white beer.
– Bell's Expedition Stout, always epic, is a roasty, hoppy, viscous monster. PA folks are lucky to get Bell's beers; we don't in NJ.
– Victory Prima Pils is maybe the best pilsener made in the US, in close competition with Sly Fox Pikeland Pils. How about that? Philly is the US pils mecca! Well, there's something to be said for fresh, local beer.
My favorite beers are the following.
Chimay blue label- This has to be one of the tastiest beers I've ever had in my life.
Dock Street Bohemian Pilsner- A great beer that tastes good during any season. The perfect amount of hops. Light crisp flavor but yet still robust.
Philadelphia Brewing Company Rowhouse Red- Great amber beer with tons of flavor. Also good for all times of the year.
Yards Philadelphia Pale Ale- This is such a go to beer. You can never go wrong with it. This is the kind of beer that you can sip and enjoy or do a keg stand of. It is so smooth and another beer you can drink all year long.
Victory Hop Devil- Great IPA that gets you very drunk.
Troeg's Wheat beer- Great summer beer. Great wheat beer. This is one of the beers that got me into drinking wheat beers.
Abita Purple Haze- Great wheat raspberry beer. Tastes like a wheat beer with a hint of raspberry flavor. Another great summer beer.
Magic Hat #9- Amazing summer beer. Light with a hint of apricot flavor. Don't drink it on tap, it's usually gross.
Yards IPA- Another great IPA. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much flavor in this beer. Doesn't get you as trashed as other IPAs though.
Dock Street Russian Imperial Stout- This beer you can only get on draught at Dock Street. It just came out and is a great desert beer. It is 9.5% alcohol and comes in a snifter glass, but after you finish that snifter it hits you hard. It tastes like a chocolate milk shake. I'll be very disappointed when it isn't on tap there anymore.
Philadelphia Brewing Company Phillyz Nevidad- Another new beer from one of my favorite local brewers, PBC. Just came out for the holidays and it tastes like christmas.
Troeg's Mad Elf- 11% alcohol…enough said.
Anchor Steam- Anything they make…
Leffe- It is watery but good. I can't even describe it. Very light but very flavorful.
I'm probably missing a shit ton of beers I like, but this was just stuff off the top of my head.
Willblake, Victory's Prima Pils f*cking rules, but have you ever had Dock Street's pilsner?
I also enjoy a nice Blue Moon during the game, if I am only having a few (this goes for in my living room or at the game). They had Lienenkugel (sp) on tap at CBP for awhile and that's pretty good as well.
Tim nice job on the beer suggestion during the season, I enjoy reading them.
Full Moon, from the makers of Blue Moon, is really good and a lil less hearty than Sam Adams Winter Ale.
Dos Equis Amber is a great summertime beer and goes down really nice.
And to go with a Penn beer, Yuengling Black and Tan, delicious!
I love trying new beers so many of these ideas are awesome!
Bud light cans!
Coors Light
hey Tim, I have to say that your list looked pretty good, espeacially being anchored by a hometown favorite… Lager. However, this time of year, a heavy beer is good… I reccomend, Yeungling Black and tan.
I'm hooked on O'Reilly's Sly Fox Dry Stout – especially at this time of year.
Petrus aged pale ale. It's a sour beer, but absolutely delicious. Ommegang Hennepin. Sly Fox' christmas ale is great this time of the year. And just like you said the Lager is great to have as the old stand by.
I'm a college student, so cost is an issue, but I like to think of myself as a connoisseur in training. That being said, I like Lion's Head. Inexpensive pilsner, good flavor, and brewed locally in Wilkes-Barre, PA.
Phil, yup, I've had it but not for a few years and only at CBP. Real good stuff, classic Czech style (love those saaz hops!) but, at least back then, I thought not quite in the league of Pikeland and Prima. They used to distribute DS to NJ but I don't think I've seen any around for a while…might be due for a re-taste. I've been meaning to visit the brewpub.
Samuel Adams, for getting the taste of hooker spit out your mouth.
Samuel Smith – England, Leffe – Belgium, Asahi – Japan, Birra Moretti – Italy, Cusquena (nicknamed 'gold' and owned by the Coors company) – Peru and of course real on the tap Guiness poured by someone who knows what their doing… mmmm
Anyone hear about Baltimore having Coste on their radar? I wonder who they would be willing to give up for him?
The Raspberry Hefeweizen is great. Sam Adams Cherry Wheat is another good summer type drink.
Magic Hat No. 9. I'm not much for Pale Ale but apparently the not quite pale ale is my thing. Also had a case to get me through the playoffs, so good memories of the run and the championship.
I know I'm off the topic a bit,but in the same family….Nothing beats a good couple of shots of White Godiva this time of the year.It has a certain kick in taste,but as it goes down,oh that chocolate taste is worth it.Its also good in a cup of coffee on X-Mas morning.
I do remember about 10 years ago,there was a good Christmas bier,Not sure how its spelled,its called Samischlaus….14% alcohol but it was like 20 bucks for a 12oz bottle in Jekyll and Hydes.Me and 3 others chipped in for some,and it was worth it.
I'm a pretty simple beer guy, don't like light beers at all and don't really have a taste for the heavier stuff, so I stick with the middle of the road. I usually go with Yuengling, Molson, or Landshark. I like the Sam Adams products sometimes, depending on my mood. The Cherry Wheat is one I enjoy significantly more draught than from the bottle, the flavor's much more pronounced and enjoyable.
In summary, most nights I drink beer, you'll find me drinking a Yuengling.
i definitely move to the darker heartier beers this time of year.
I would have to say that the number one is any of the Sam Adams seasonals, Pete's Wicked Ale Straberry Blonde, and being only 40 minutes from the brewery Yuengling Lager.
Also, have to give a shout to Dogfish, down in Delaware. Really the anchor of the craft movement. The 90-minute is flat-out wonderful, and potent.
I don't know what it is…but that Grolsch mix pack slays me…Blonde, Red, and regular lager. It's all very good. Other favorites…Magic Hat Number 9, off the tap only. Smithwicks is nice. There's a good one down here in Lancaster, PA called Seven Gates that is being produced by a new microbrewery…http://www.springhousebeer.com/. And of course Lager.
Grolsch can go either way… A bad Grolsch is like being punched in the face by a good friend.
Day to day beer…..Miller Lite.
Nice change up ……Mich Ultra Amber
Out of the ordinary favorite….Tennents Super….9% Alc. Scotland's oldest lager. Goes great with Shepherd's Pie or Pot Roast. It's a Pale Lager, pretty light to the taste, not very hoppy at all. Subtly sweet. A helluva brew.
Tim…..If you ever get a chance, will you post all of your Gamenight Beers. I have tried a few, but now that the year is over I'd like to scan the list and try a few others.
Abita's Purple Haze…….another great tasting beer. Sweeter than an amber, but not as sweet as say a Sam Adams Cheery wheat. I think it has a rasberry flavor. Sounds kinda queer, but a good brew.
It'd take too long to make a small list of great beers. So, straight up, Pennsylvania representing– drink some Pocono Lager –made in Wilkes-Barre by Lion's Brewery. A good alternative to Yuengling. And come on, Phillies and Yuengling go hand in hand. And who drinks more than Phillies fans?
Gimme Miller High Life in a bottle and I'm good to go.
Also enjoy the various Sam Adams' brews.
Pabst Blue Ribbon
My father-in-law drinks nothing but Yuengling Premium for the car. Calls it "Nectar of the Gods" and "Vitamin Y".
All Time Favorite: Spaten Optimator
Favorite Microbrew: Stoudt's American Pale Ale
Favorite Domestic: Yuengling
Favorite Cheap Swill: Schlitz – "Just the kiss of the hops"
Can't post all the gameday beers. I don't have *that* much free time.
Tim: Your opening day beer: Samuel Smith's Organically Produced Lager Beer … yes, thats the real brand name. however, its the cleanest, crispest lager ive ever had.. werd….
If you can find it, St. Bernardus Abt 12 is out of this world. Troegs Mad Elf is good for this time of year, and I'll take anything by Dogfish (Raison D'Etra is probably my favorite, but the 90 min IPA and the Midas Touch are also excellent). My girlfriend and I took a trip to Cooperstown recently, and on top of seeing the bat that Joe Blanton his his home run with, we had the added bonus of sampling some beer from Ommegang, a local brewery there, and it did not disappoint.
Oh man, totally forgot all the great Belgian beers I've had. Yes, St. Berardus Abt. 12 is amazing. I had some sort of abbey ale at the Grey Lodge, and that tasted like peaches, but was potent as hell. Great stuff.
No mention of Rogue? I've never had one of their beers that wasnt fantastic. Rogue Imperial Pilsner is the best pilsner. If you're a beer guy you NEED to go get some Rogue
Miller Lite tastes like sweat. I compare it to gym socks rung out into a glass..MMMM.
Great work Tim! Your beer wisdom is right up there with your Phils wisdom. Stuff like this is excellent "filler" (no pun intended) during the off-season.
Happy Holidays all!
This time of year you have to try Brooklyn Breweries' Dark Chocolate Stout. Hands down my favorite. To enjoy a baseball game their Pennant Ale isn't bad either.
I like a nice cold Reading beer. They are making it again. If I can't have that I'll go with a Pabst Blue Ribbon in a bottle. It's much better then the can.
Checkout the Sam Adams "Winter Classics". There all good, especially the Winter Lager and Holiday Porter.
Вполне возможно. Иногда так действительно случается.

IBM is crucial to water districtJuly 09,2014The purpose of this letter is to document Champlain Water Districts elected Board of Water Commissioners support of the Greater Burlington Industrial Corp.s action in developing IBM Vermont: The Vermont Plan.
As you are aware, IBM is a significant water customer for CWD, averaging 3.24 million gallons per day for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014. At this time IBMs daily usage is 34.35 percent of CWDs total daily facility production. As a high volume user for CWD, IBM has been the key factor is maintaining CWDs uniform wholesale water rate as one of the lowest in New England.
Continued high-volume industrial water usage will help ensure that CWDs uniform wholesale water rate remains near current levels for CWDs 70,000 Chittenden County customers. As a wholesaler to 12 municipal water systems in Chittenden County, CWDs uniform wholesale rate costs the average family $136 per year. Given that each community also has its own individual retail mark-up from the CWD uniform rate, CWDs uniform rate represents an average of 47 percent of the annual dollar amount charged to county customers across all 12 served water systems.
Since the vast majority of IBMs water usage relates directly to its wet process manufacturing, it is critical that this IBM site continues utilization of wet processes in order to maintain the extremely economical water rates to CWD customers going forward into the future. IBMs benefit to the Champlain Water District is only a small impact for the state of Vermont overall, therefore CWD certainly supports GBICs IBM Vermont: The Vermont Plan for IBM to continue to be the economic engine for our entire state.

Champlain Water District)

10 Satellites at a time
By chiplunkar on Apr 29, 2008
Well, I guess people might think this is about Sun Connection Satellite or xVM OPS Center. But I'll write about it in my systems management posts. This is about an important page added to the space history, by Indian scientists. ISRO reached the enviable milestone of launching 10 satellites into the space using a single PSLV and successfully placing them into their desired orbits. This brief news covers the story and compares it with similar attempts by other nations in the past.

Now is the momentOctober 24,2013
Now is the moment
I was glad to see your article on the capital Gateway meeting of Oct. 18.
For decades, there has been much discussion and dreaming about the Winooski River and how it could become more of a downtown amenity, source of enjoyment and educational opportunity. Now the moment of truth is upon us.
With inspiration, planning and will, residents and visitors could sit by the river with coffee or even dinner; take long walks; bike; launch boats; fish; watch outdoor performances; dance; enjoy outdoor sculpture; learn about the rivers history and ecology. Speaking of dinner by the river, wouldnt it be excellent to be able to have dinner outdoors in downtown Montpelier without breathing carbon monoxide?
In the 90s, the Conservation Commission held a series of public discussions and made drawings and maps of what such a river environment would look like. Im sure many similar sessions were held before then and since.
Its a tremendous waste and loss of economic and scenic value to use a potentially beautiful and enjoyable river environment mainly for parking. Cars need to go elsewhere. Yes, parking is a problem. But with all the creative and civic-minded people in this community, surely a better solution can be found.
Now we have a large building going up on the Carr Lot. Lets strive to make it what Michael Hoffman proposed at the meeting: a really wonderful concept, designed by one or a group of forward-thinking local architects, with locally sourced materials and a green footprint. Thank you, Michael, for putting that out there.
Yes, lets get beyond the serviceable and mundane in this crucial downtown space, and think creatively. Our small city with a big heart deserves no less.
