Rex loose, focused after Jets' final full practice

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. Rex Ryan walked into the press room, noticed the boxes of pizza on a table and joked about how his Lap-Band procedure has limited him to just a bite or two.
No worries, though. He smiled while acknowledging that he can still chow down on Mexican food his favorite dish.
Thats how Ryans final news conference Friday after his last full practice of the season began. If the New York Jets coach knows what his future holds, hes certainly not letting on. He was loose and playful, appearing anything but a coach on the hot seat.
We were flying around, Ryan said about the teams performance Friday. Weve had some excellent practices. Really, its been a great week of preparation. Its been a great week of practice and just the spirit and enthusiasm, were looking forward to this game.
That has been Ryans focus, at least publicly, all week: trying to beat the Miami Dolphins, despite the uncertainty surrounding his job status.
Ryan pointed earlier in the week to the teams last meeting as the Jets lowest point, a 23-3 loss on Dec. 1 at home in which quarterback Geno Smith was benched and New York looked woeful on offense, defense and special teams. While the Jets (7-8) are out of playoff contention, they have a chance to ruin the Dolphins postseason plans if they can win in Miami on Sunday.
As sweet as that would seem to be, Ryan insisted his team isnt being driven by that prospect this week.
If that was New England, I would say clearly that would be true, but theyre not your archrival like New England is, Ryan said. The satisfaction is going to come from us competing against them and knowing ourselves, proving to ourselves how much weve improved. I think thats what were looking forward to the most, getting back out there (against) a team that totally whipped us in every phase and having the opportunity to go out there and prove it.
Ryan has one year remaining on his contract, but its possible general manager John Idzik could be looking to bring in a coach of his choice. Neither Idzik nor owner Woody Johnson has commented on the situation.
Its possible and likely the decision has already been made, but mum has been the word so far.
Meanwhile, Ryan has received an avalanche of support during the last several days with countless fans, players and ex-Jets rallying behind him to remain coach. An online petition urging Johnson to keep Ryan has received nearly 500 signatures, and several in the media have stated cases for why Ryan should stay.
Key veterans such as Antonio Cromartie, Calvin Pace and Willie Colon, along with rookies Smith and Sheldon Richardson have used the word love to describe their feelings for Ryan.
Anytime you get something positive said about you, youre going to feel great about it, Ryan said. Like I said, the thing about the opportunity in front of us with Miami is really the focus, but I certainly appreciate positive remarks, as anybody would.
Rather than the idea of winning one for him, Ryan has turned finishing .500 into a rallying point for a team that many people expected to be among the leagues worst.
Thats why were going down there, to win, he said. Thatd be big for me because thats why you take the field. Again, I think part of that is 8-8 is better than 7-9, without question. Hey, I even figured that one out.
Even my biggest enemies will say, OK, you got that right.
Ryan has had his share of critics during his five seasons as New Yorks coach, from his brash approach during his first few years or his perceived shortcomings on the field. He was asked, though, if ending the season with two straight wins which would be the Jets first winning streak all year could increase his autonomy given his current uncertain status.
I see how you angled that one. Thats pretty good, he said, smiling. Im just worried about Miami. Focused on Miami.MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md. Wade Davis already had closed out a World Series.

Pond not causing damageDecember 11,2013The following commentary was written by Michael J. Messier with and on behalf of the Save Combination Pond Group.
Combination Pond is part of the stormwater runoff sediment solution, not the problem. It will cost nothing to leave the pond as it is. We respectfully request the City of Rutland and State of Vermont rescind the agreement to remove Combination Pond. The city and state did not include and provide notice to all interested persons, due process (in open meetings, not executive sessions). They did not mitigate damages to property owners (there are six lower cost alternatives not to remove the pond), and will have taken property without due process (under eminent domain).
The costs to taxpayers is zero to leave Combination Pond as it is, per city and state consultants who were paid for by taxpayers.
Whats next? Drain Piedmont Pond, Lakes Bomoseen, Dunmore or Champlain? These bodies of water are part of the Champlain watershed, too. The city stated that the water in Combination Pond is too warm, which they believe is the cause of the pollution in the Moon Brook watershed. However, Lake Champlain has the same temperature profiles as Combination Pond.
The city states that warm water from Combination Pond is causing brook trout deaths in Moon Brook. There is no evidence of trout deaths or autopsies of dead brook trout in or around Combination Pond. (City of Rutland meeting minutes, dated Jan. 7, 2013; Rutland Herald, Article published Jan. 14, 2013, City Hall Reporters Notebook.)
The city also states that the bug population, specifically stoneflies, is being reduced by warm water. These bugs were studied just a few times during their two least active months, September and October. The state sprayed to minimize the mosquito population, which may have reduced the bug population as well.
State of Vermont statute states that there shall be no change from the reference condition that would prevent the full support of aquatic biota, wildlife, or aquatic habitat uses. Biological integrity is maintained, and all expected functional groups are present in a high-quality habitat. All life cycle functions, including overwintering and reproductive requirements, are maintained and produced.
Combination Pond is an evidenced home to aquatic biota, wildlife, aquatic habitat, including, but not limited to, trout, herons, ducks, beaver, otter, geese, deer, fox, turtles, stoneflies, and many more endangered species, including, but not limited to, taxpayers (voters). Removing Combination Pond would prevent the full support of aquatic biota, wildlife or aquatic habitat uses. It would violate the statute and break the law.
The ponds benefits, deeded property rights, include but are not limited to the following: fishing, boating, swimming, birdwatching, wildlife watching, skating, education, recreation, meditation, vegetation, hockey, yearbook photos, photography, art, tourism, flood control, sediment retention, ice storage, firefighter training and testing, backup emergency water supply for firefighting and more. Millions have been and are projected to be spent on recreational facilities in the city of Rutland. These ponds are recreational facilities that already exist at no costs.
We the Committee to Save Combination Pond do not want an increase in property taxes. We want to find ways to make government more efficient and pay lower taxes. This would include the city paying less for consulting and legal fees. The city should engage volunteers to plant shrubs and trees, and other plants called for to preserve the wetlands, and watersheds, mitigating the ramification of stormwater runoff.
Romeo (Rutlands city attorney) said he had seen deeds giving property owners rights to enjoy the pond (Rutland Herald, Neighbors plan to fight for city pond, by Brent Curtis). Members of the community also have a legal right to use and enjoy Combination Pond. That right should not be destroyed by city government.
There are many ponds and dams upstream and downstream of this pond that have not been studied. There are temperature data questions. The temperatures were not recorded by an independent entity.
Temperature-montitoring boxes were found on the bank of Combination Pond, not even in the water, by a neighbor and her grandson. The temperature study in total is suspect.
Let us all consider that our property rights shouldnt be used as a political football. The mayors red herring (trout) has been used to divert attention from the real issue: stormwater runoff into the Moon Brook watershed. Ninety-nine percent of the Moon Brook watershed is not Combination Pond. The pond is two acres of the watershed or 1 percent.
Combination Pond has been here as long as anyone can remember. It is a heart-shaped pond, in the heart of a neighboorhood, in the heart of Vermont. Our mission is to save the pond for the community.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

Some folks may think that with the onset of winter, we can stop thinking about invasive plants like honeysuckle and multiflora rose - after all, they aren't growing in winter, right? Well, while we may not have to worry about them growing during the dormant months of winter, natural area managers find that this is the best time to work on removing invasive shrubs, trees and vines. After all, one doesn't have to deal with ticks and mosquitoes, plus, with the leaves off, it is much easier to cut and mulch (or burn) brush.
Fortunately, many invasive plants can be managed easily during the winter months once you know how to identify them, and provided you have the proper chemical to apply to any cut stumps.
For those who dislike even the idea of using herbicides, I have to tell you that the alternative is to keep cutting the same plant every year. And, cutting these plants just encourages them to come back more aggressively the next year. Seriously. It is like the stories of Medusa - cut off her head, and seven new heads grew in its place. Cut one honeysuckle stem this winter, and you'll be cutting at least seven new stems next year if you don't give it a shot of herbicide.
Fortunately, herbicides will work when applied correctly in very small quantities. Since they are a poison, it is vital to wear proper protective gear and use the proper application technique to avoid harming yourself or native plants that may be growing nearby.
There is a lot of good information out there to help manage invasive plants in winter.
Friend Chris Evans coordinates an "Invasive Species" (eradication) Campaign in Illinois, and he often shares great information about best practices for recognizing and controlling invasive plants in Illinois. He posted a useful article recently that covers the basics of winter management of several of the most irritating invasive plants: Honeysuckle, Autumn Olive, Multiflora Rose, and Oriental Bittersweet. The article can be accessed here: http://illinoisisam.blogspot.com/2012/12/identification-and-control-of-woody.html
The article is on the site "Illinois Invasive Species Awareness Month," so you will find a lot of additional helpful advice about managing these pesky invaders.
If you don't find the answers you are looking for on the website, contact Melissa Hormann in TLC's office. Frankly, I think her mission in life is to rid natural areas of non-native and invasive plants! She knows all the tricks. Email her at firstname.lastname@example.com or give her a call at 815-337-9502.

I've started to give solids to my ds a few weeks ago (he'll be 7 months in 10 days).
So far he had banana, pear, apple and sweet potato.
He usually has 4 bottles of milk a day (around 7,11, 3,7 ). I've been giving him solids at around 8 (1 type of fruit), 12 (fruit but since yest sweet potato and 1 fruit) and 5-5:30 (just sweet potato yest and today). Do you think this "schedule" is ok?
What I'm confused about is which foods to give each time and what quantities.
Sometimes he will want to eat a lot but I don't know how much is too much so I stopfeeding him. Today he had about 10 little spoons in one go. (Although I want to go for baby-led and no purees, I've been mashing the food for fear of him choking...)Is this too much? If I give him a veggie and a fruit, how many slices of each should I give him?
I would be happy for any advice as usual but if you know a good book (which doesn't include cereal in every menu) it would be great too.
Well done for all the mamas who were brave enough to start off with baby-led!

New ideas being considered for drug treatment in Bennington County
BENNINGTON While a group of officials said they had concerns about the amount of resources in Bennington County available for treating people with drug addictions, they also saw signs of hope and new ideas.
A group of people, including medical professionals and law enforcement officials, came together last week at the Bennington fire facility to talk about the availability of drug addiction treatment options in Bennington County.
The subject has attracted interest after the county was the site of two drug sweeps in less than a year, with the second one taking place last year.
Sen. Richard Sears, D-Bennington, said he believes people with a drug addiction might be better served if courthouses had a screener available who could determine whether someone being charged with a drug-related crime was trying to make money from selling drugs or someone so deeply addicted that the crimes were being committed only to support the habit.
If you went to the emergency room and you were saying, Ive got chest pains, they wouldnt open you up and do open-heart surgery before they ran a few tests. But thats what were asked to do every day in court, he said.
More than a year ago, Sears, while in Rutland to talk about the possibility of creating a drug treatment hub in the area, was told that it would cost $95,000 a year to support a heroin habit in Rutland. He said he expected the cost in Bennington would be similar.
You think about $95,000 a year and how much crime has to go on to support that $95,000 a year, he said.
Dr. Nels Kloster, an addiction psychiatrist, said he thought the idea of the hub and spoke approach made Vermont very foresightful and probably unique in the country.
The idea is that people with the worst cases of drug addiction would be treated at central locations, usually methadone clinics like the ones in Barre, Burlington, and Brattleboro, and other patients, whose addictions arent as strong, could be treated in their own town by their own doctor. Local doctors would get support with the help of therapists or social workers.
Rather than simply doling out methadone on a daily basis or doling out suboxone as needed for treatment, they are bringing in resources to help meet all the health needs of the patients who are getting treatment there, he said.
Kloster said there may still be a need for more hubs and pointed out there are a cadre of folks who are living in Bennington who are actually traveling Route 9, over the mountain, to get to Brattleboro for their treatment.
Dr. Peter Park, a family practice doctor who works for Southwestern Vermont Medical Center at the Deerfield Valley campus in Wilmington, said hes already treating some of his own patients for addictions and has seen the importance.
This is a chronic illness that affects all of their other illnesses. Probably the first one because if youre looking for drugs every other day, youre not treating your diabetes, youre not treating your hypertension. This is a health problem that needs to be addressed so that the rest of the health problems can be addressed, he said.
Ralph Provenza, executive director of United Counseling Services, said the agency has seen its own improvements with the reduction of its waiting list through creative use of funding and real strong commitment on part of staff. Patients can be screened within a few days and the biggest problem remaining is delivering treatment or group meetings that are accessible to the patient.
Many of those at the meeting said they also thought there would be a value to continued conversation among people like themselves so they could better understand the larger treatment picture.

DR. ASHTON B. CARTER testifies before the Senate Armed Services Committee on the Moscow Treaty on Strategic Offensive Reductions (SORT).
Washington, DC -- On August 1, 2002 Dr. Ashton B. Carter appeared before a public hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee. The Senate is debating the nuclear arms treaty signed by President Bush and President Putin in May -- perhaps a last gasp of superpower arms control as we have come to know it. In his testimony before the committee, Carter tries to provide the answer, in the form of the Global Coalition Against Catastrophic Terrorism that the Preventive Defense Project has been devising with Senators Lugar and Nunn.

Projecting The Crew Lineup: January 14
The Columbus Dispatch - January 15, 2014 12:27 PM
With Major League Soccer's SuperDraft set for Thursday and the start of the Crew's preseason eight days later, the roster will sit at 29 players upon receipt of Michael Parkhurst's International Transfer Certificate.
So without seeing any of these guys even standing on a field together – much less doing anything soccer-related – now seems a perfect time to begin projecting what the lineup might look like when the Crew opens the season on the road March 8 against D.C. United.
First, here are the 29 guys on the roster as grouped by position:
Goalkeepers (4): Steve Clark, Matt Lampson, Brad Stuver, Daniel Withrow
Defenders (9): Chad Barson, Waylon Francis, Ross Friedman, Eric Gehrig, Michael Parkhurst, Agustin Viana, Tyson Wahl, Matt Wiet, Josh Williams
Midfielders (11): Bernardo Anor, Ethan Finlay, Kevan George, Hector Jimenez, Justin Meram, Daniel Paladini, Shawn Sloan, Ben Speas, Tony Tchani, Wil Trapp, Matt Walker
Forwards (5): Jairo Arrieta, Ryan Finley, Federico Higuain, Dominic Oduro, Aaron Schoenfeld
Here's how it could play out…
This is a competition between Clark and Lampson, one that could last most of the season. My sense is that although coach and sporting director Gregg Berhalter has spoken about the upside of the team's young goalkeeping corps including Lampson, he would not have made a move to bring Clark in unless he felt Lampson was not ready for the full-time job.
I continue to believe that Lampson will grow into the full-time role, but for now I'm expecting Berhalter to go with Clark. For now. And either Stuver or Withrow – probably Stuver – will be loaned to Dayton for the season.
Projected starter: Steve Clark
Talk about a position that will look different than it did when the season ended. Let's start with what figure to be locks in the lineup: Parkhurst and Williams. Berhalter made it a point to bring Williams back after he ended the year out of contract and has spoken about the upside that should come with giving the athletic Williams one position and only one position instead of shuffling him around like previous regimes have done.
I had expected Williams to play on the right side of the central defense, but now that role figures to be Parkhurst's. Berhalter told me he likes the fact that Parkhurst can also play right back, but I think his main role will be as a central defender. As a result, I'm guessing that we see Williams on the left and Parkhurst on the right.
So who plays outside? I'm still not convinced that they are sold on Barson as the full-time right back, but he's got to be the top guy there at this moment. I'd pencil him in there.
On the left, Waylon Francis was essentially a Brian Bliss signing but one that still seems to fit into what Berhalter wants from his outside backs. The Crew got one assist from the position last season, and talk is that Francis is the latest candidate to get a chance to stake claim to that left back spot. Both outside back positions are far from set, but this is where I see it as of today.
Projected starters, left to right: Waylon Francis, Josh Williams, Michael Parkhurst, Chad Barson
This is where things really get tricky because I'm not exactly sure what type of formation Berhalter is hoping to deploy. For now, I'm going to assume we see the Crew use one defensive midfielder, two wingers and a central midfielder. This could very well change, but let's use it as a baseline for our predictions.
To me, Trapp is a sure thing to put in the starting lineup. He had an impressive rookie season despite some struggles down the stretch – particularly against Real Salt Lake – but he's poised for a breakout year. He's my guess for defensive midfielder.
It's difficult to project who will play on the wings right now because there are so many options. We've seen Anor, Finlay, Meram, Oduro and Speas all play out wide and Jimenez comes from Los Angeles as an outside midfielder, so which two will see the field?
I'm penciling Oduro in at forward, which I'll discuss in the next section, so I'm excluding him from the midfield conversation. Given the number of players here, I think the Crew needs Oduro more up top.
Berhalter said he has been following Jimenez for a long time and that he stretches defenses vertically more from the right side but tucks inside and combines more with teammates when he's on the left. Paladini could benefit from a change of scenery.
What of the returning guys? Anor, Speas, Finlay and Meram have had their flashes of success but now need to prove they can contribute on a consistent basis. For this reason, I think just one of them earns a starting spot. I'm giving the early edge to Speas on the left because this feels like a make-or-break preseason for him and Jimenez on the right. That said, expect liberal substitutions here because Finlay and Meram have both shown that they deserve to play.
As for Anor, I think he plays centrally. He looked sharp when given the chance to play underneath Higuain last season and, to me, provides more upside than Tchani.
This also means I don't have Agustin Viana in my projected starting lineup even though he was one of four players with a guaranteed 2014 contract. Viana will still play a significant role this season, but I don't see him fitting into the midfield with the emergence of Trapp. Unless, of course, the Crew goes back to playing with two defensive midfielders.
Projected starters: Hector Jimenez, Wil Trapp, Bernardo Anor, Ben Speas
This is the easiest position to predict as of this moment. When you draw up how this team will play, it starts and ends with Higuain. Is he a withdrawn forward? Is he a playmaking central midfielder? Is he a goal scorer?
Yes, yes, and yes. But for the sake of simplicity, I'm putting Higuain as the team's withdrawn forward.
As for the other spot…the Crew did re-sign Arrieta, but after a wholly disappointing 2013 season I can't see giving him a starting spot right out of the chute. That role has to go to Oduro, who earned himself a bigger paycheck and a chance to play his preferred forward position. The only way I see this changing is if the Crew finds another proven scorer to put up top that would allow the team to put Oduro on the right wing, where he can use his pace to stretch defenses.
I expect to see at least one new face added to this group before the season starts.
Projected starters: Federico Higuain and Dominic Oduro
Also in the 18: Lampson, Viana, Wahl, Finlay, Meram, Paladini, Arrieta.

This is fine until you throw in "from last". If ultimate is "last" is it also anything "from last"? I like the OED's "last but n".

Yes, the but n~ config is nice and clear - but I think so is the use of the word to as a comparative against the defined position. The word 'from' throws confusion in the mix.

Because, m'dear, some 2,000 years ago those pesky Romans decided that one Jackie Fulner, unpredictably bred out of the chaos that would follow the collapse of the empire, and living in a non-existent city in an unknown land, would be PISSED OFF AT THEM!
And the Romans liked barbarians to be pissed off at them. It gave the legions something to do besides overthrowing emperors. So it's all your fault, and don't you dare try to say other, my girl!_________________________

They're not that close. Latin paene 'almost' is an adverb, while Latin paean 'hymn to Apollo' is a noun and a loan from Greek Παιαν (Paian)._________________________

PALESTINE – West Virginia State Police are investigating an incident at a youth camp in Wirt County last weekend.
Bo Wriston, director of the Wirt County Office of Emergency Services, said an out-of-state youth was attending a church camp when the youth was run over by a wagon, suffering a severe injury. Wriston said the youth was life-flighted to Charleston.
Three sources familiar with the incident said the youth later died.
Trooper M.B. Jarvis from the Wirt County detachment said he cannot release information concerning the incident because it remains under investigation and the family has expressed a desire to keep the matter private.
"There is little information to release at this time," Jarvis said. "Anything we could release, we would release."
The accident happened at the Singing Hills Church Camp on Sonoma Road in Palestine.
The property is owned by the Singing Hills Association and the camp has ties to the Tri County Worship Center in Rockport. The church has been holding camps at Singing Hills for close to two decades.
Messages left at the church and for Pastor Everett Snyder were not returned.
Jarvis said if any details of the incident are released it will be based on the findings of the investigation. The incident is being investigated by Trooper J.M. DeMyer.

The business jet finance market is changing, just like the rest of the world economy. It's becoming more highly regulated, more conservative and more international. Its biggest challenge is the surfeit of cash that many aircraft buyers have on hand with no compelling place to invest.
July 25, 2012
July 20, 2012
As a big-ticket asset promising large potential tax adjustments, a business jet easily captures the attention of IRS auditors. Given the woefully complicated tax rules applicable to these aircraft, who can blame the IRS for seeking additional revenue opportunities in the flight department?
April 20, 2012
Like other lawsuits, most of the ones involving business jets are settled out of court. Every once in a while, though, a corporate jet case will not only reach a judge but produce a decision that shines a spotlight into some dark corner of business aviation. One such case is JDI Holdings, LLC v. Jet Management, Inc., et al., 732 F. Supp.
April 20, 2012
With U.S. stock indexes rising and the economy showing signs of life, business jet buyers seem to be returning to the market. Much like horses at the start of a race, they appear to be champing at the bit, waiting impatiently for the starting gate to open.
February 1, 2012
In these days of sluggish economic recovery and historically low interest rates, the biggest competition for those offering business jet financing is a four-letter word: cash. Those who still have the resources to buy aircraft often prefer to pay cash rather than finance, for the simple reason that they now have few other attractive places to put their money.
February 1, 2012
The last few years haven't held much in the way of surprises for the used-jet market and I suspect 2012 won't, either.
December 8, 2011
The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) has produced a guide to getting reimbursed for flight expenses.
December 1, 2011
Considering what 2011 served up in terms of worldwide calamity–from government overthrows to devastating natural disasters to a global debt crisis–it's a wonder anyone had the confidence and wherewithal to buy a corporate jet. Yet the year saw a continuation of 2010's resurgence of buyer activity. This mild but sustained trend is providing a sense of relief for many sellers.

Third-quarter pretax earnings at Berkshire Hathaway's "other services" division, which includes FlightSafety International and NetJets, climbed 15 percent from the same quarter last year, to $281 million.

Sports fans panicked a couple of years ago when the Department of Transportation, the FAA's parent organization, ordered a charter service run by Air Canada to cancel sports-team flights in the U.S.

Evansdale police say an autopsy has confirmed that two bodies found last week in a wildlife area are those of Elizabeth Collins and Lyric Cook.
Police Chief Kent Smock says he received confirmation Monday from the Iowa State Medical Examiner's Office that the bodies were the two cousins, who had been missing since July 13. The full autopsy hasn't been released to police.
Elizabeth was 8 and Lyric was 10 when they went for a bike ride in the northeastern Iowa community and didn't return.
Hunters found their bodies last week in the Seven Bridges Wildlife Area in Bremer County, about 25 miles from where they were last seen.
Authorities closed the park while they searched for evidence connected to the case but now have reopened the area.

What is in this article?:
- Shaping U.S. energy policy: biofuels and infrastructure
- The farmer
- A choice
- Infrastructure
- During Wednesday hearing, Senate Agriculture Committee tackled higher energy costs, biofuels and regulations.
- Panelists asked how best to shape energy policy.
More About:
With gasoline prices nearing $4 per gallon, on Wednesday, both President Obama and the Senate Agriculture Committee addressed rising fuel costs and how best to shape U.S. energy policy.
For more, see Obama and energy.
Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow, Chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee (who helmed a hearing titled"Evaluating High Gas Prices and How New Rules and Innovative Farming Can Help") highlighted reports claiming "as many as 600,000 jobs could be at risk because of the recent spikes in gas prices. … High prices are squeezing farmers and squeezing middle-class families who live on tight budgets. … When businesses pay more for fuel, they're unable to hire and retain employees – that's a dangerous place to be in a fragile national economy."
Certainly, continued Stabenow, "supply and demand plays a significant role (in the higher prices). But we also know it isn't quite as straightforward as that. … We need a real American energy policy and agriculture has a very important leadership role to play."
Pointing to Obama's energy-related speech, Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts, ranking member, expected the president to "follow up on what he said earlier this month while speaking in Brazil at a business summit. He explained how the United States is eager to help expand the Brazilian offshore oil development."
Roberts – claiming his words weren't "pejorative or partisan" but "just fact" -- described Obama's approach as "rather a paradox of enormous irony that, with an estimated 86 billion barrels of oil reserves within the United States, the president would be offering up technology and support for competitors abroad. All the while, we have real problems with production here at home."

Classmates of Phyllis Ebinger '51 were worried when she became very ill the winter of senior year. Within a week of being diagnosed with acute leukemia, the popular young woman died of the disease. "We'd prayed all that week that she would return to school," says her brother Warren '51 (who was two years older). She was Homecoming Queen that fall and the roommate of Mary Ritzman '51 Ebinger, Warren's future wife.
As the Class of 1951 collected generous donations for a 60th reunion gift, their thoughts returned to Phyllis. Those donations combined with memorials given at the time of her death now exceed $250,000. The class named their gift the Class of 1951 Endowed Scholarship In Memory of Phyllis J. Ebinger.
"We considered other options but we really want to use our gift to influence a student's life, so they can capture some of the excitement we felt 60 years ago," Warren explains.
The scholarship has been designated for a junior or senior in education and Phyllis Ebinger's example of "representing the best of North Central" will be held as the standard. Adds Warren: "Phyl embodied all the qualities of giving your best, friendliness and personality, and commitment to scholarship."

Action alert: Congress set to vote on ESEA reauthorization next week
The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote next week on re-authorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, known it is current incarnation as "No Child Left Behind," and MEA members have an opportunity to make their voices heard.
MEA members are encouraged to contact their member of Congress and urge him or her to oppose the legislation in its current form, and instead support amendments that would strengthen public education in Michigan and the United States.
As is stands, H.R. 5, known as the "Student Success Act":
- Undermines efforts to achieve equity and close achievement gaps.
- Eliminates "Maintenance of Effort," which requires state and local education funding to be at least 90 percent of the previous year's spending to receive federal funds
- Provides inadequate funding, which would particularly harm at-risk and low-income students
- Continues lax policies that don't hold charter schools to the same standards as traditional public schools
- Diminishes focus on professional development for teachers and education support professionals
MEA members can make their voices heard immediately through an online petition or by calling their U.S. representative toll-free at 866-420-3592.
It's important that MEA members tell their representatives in Congress that the ESEA reauthorization should:
- Promote innovation, high expectations, and encourage development of 21st century skills in public schools.
- End the obsession with high-stakes, poor-quality tests by developing high-quality assessment systems that provide multiple ways for students to show what they have learned.
- Support schools with the necessary resources, especially school districts in the most need, and should not impose vouchers that drain money from local public schools.
- Promote public education as a shared responsibility of parents, communities, educators and policymakers.
- Help empower educators to focus on what's important: student learning and achievement.

Bonjour Clothes Horse.
I bought my mother "Parisiennes" for Christmas two years ago and she loved it. She's a clothes horse; a member of the Red Hat Society, primarily because it lets her dress-up in outrageous outfits all the time!
One of your commenters said Parisian style is about attitude, and I definitely agree. I blogged about that at some length, in fact (http://pamela.poole.free.fr/frogblog/?p=531)
I actually stopped by because I thought you might like to know about www.francophilia.com, the only social network for francophiles.
We launched a year ago, and in 2009 we're going to add a marketplace where you can get your fill of French stuff. We're a tiny startup operating on a shoestring budget, and depending on francophile bloggers like you to help get the word out.
Hope you and your readers will stop by and join us! And please help spread the word!
Merci et à bientôt.

Truckee's first-ever canine cop already hard at work
October 21, 2013
TRUCKEE, Calif. — Meet one of Truckee Police Department's newest members — Trax, a 2-year-old black Labrador retriever.
"Primarily, it's a community engagement, public relations (effort)," said Police Chief Adam McGill. "… (He'll) invite people to come up and talk to us, so not everything is a negative experience."
When the department's first-ever dog isn't engaging the public, he'll be using his nose to sniff out contraband drugs.
On Oct. 2, his first night on the job, Trax found methamphetamine in someone's car, getting his first arrest under his collar.
"This particular name encompasses Truckee's foundation — the railroad."
Adam McGill
Truckee Police Chief
"So he's already working hard," McGill said to a crowd of about 80 who gathered Tuesday evening at Town Hall for a badge-pinning ceremony.
Helping swear in Trax was Ryann Mitchell, a fifth-grader at Forest Charter School in Truckee, who helped name him.
In August, TPD launched a social media campaign so the public could help name the dog. More than 800 submissions were made, with Mitchell offering the winning name.
"This particular name encompasses Truckee's foundation — the railroad — and what supports the train, and that would be tracks," McGill said. "Also, one of the duties of this dog is it will track drugs."
Officer Andrew Holbrook will serve as Trax's handler.
"This is not like any other piece of equipment that he checks out in his locker or in our storage room," McGill said. "… The dog is now part of his family — lives with him 24 hours a day."
An eight-year service by Trax is estimated to cost $198,243, according to the town. First-year startup costs are projected at $36,500, which includes purchase of the dog, training for the dog and police officer handler, anticipated salary costs for the handler, refitting of an existing patrol vehicle and general equipment and supplies.
After the first year, annual ongoing costs are estimated at $23,000, which includes food, supplies, vet bills, training costs for the dog and handler, and personnel costs associated with the handler.
The primary funding source will be through asset forfeiture funds — money acquired from convicted drug dealers that's used for ongoing policing expense.
Truckee Town Council authorized the department to purchase a dog in March.
Also sworn in Tuesday were three new humans: Officer Randy Misch, police records technician Caitlin Thomas, and police volunteer Elvia Esparza.

The medical examiner says the Schofield Barracks soldier shot to death by police in Waikiki Tuesday morning had a blood alcohol level 2.5 times over the legal limit.
22-year-old Gregory M. Gordon had a blood alcohol level of 0.196. The legal limit for driving is 0.08. He died from a loss of blood from a gunshot wound to the shoulder as well as his heart and lungs, according to the medical examiner.
A Honolulu Police Department investigation revealed that a replica handgun was found in the search in the truck Gordon was driving. HPD did not say if Gordon used the replica in the shooting incident.
Police say Gordon rammed several police cars before officers opened fire on Ala Wai Boulevard.
Three officers were injured. They were treated and released on Tuesday.
An internal police investigation into the shooting is underway.

I am starting to wean my 15 month old (I'm older and hoping to have more children but don't have my period back yet). He was feeding about 4 or 5 times a day: around 6am (then back to sleep for a bit), before nap, before bed, and once or twice overnight. He doesn't fall asleep while he's nursing, we usually put him down awake and he goes to sleep on his own (in a crib in his own room).
Over the past 5 days my husband has been going in for the overnight wake ups as well as the early wake up and helping him go back to sleep. So far my little guy seems to be handling this pretty well.
Next we'd like to work on the feeding before nap and before bed. We have a routine, though, and I'm not sure how to take the nursing out of it. In the afternoon he eats lunch (he eats great), nurses, we change his diaper, and put him down awake to nap. Before bed, he eats dinner, then a bath, books, nurses, and we put him down awake. Does anyone have any advice on how to take the nursing out of the routines?
He tried cow's milk the other day but doesn't like it and I offered him soymilk but he wouldn't try it. I tried switching the order a bit before bed the other night and he knew it wasn't right and asked for milk again before I put him down.
I appreciate any advice you have! Thank you very much!

Clothing store hand-delivers groom's pants to Costa Rica
A groom wasn't left pantsless on his wedding day thanks to a 3,500-mile special delivery made by a Minnesota clothing store.
Jason Anderson had a final fitting at Judd Frost Clothiers the night before hopping on a flight to Costa Rica for his destination wedding. The rest of his suit made it into a garment bag, but store owner Judd Frost didn't notice the pants had been left behind in a dressing room until after Anderson was on the plane, according to the Star-Tribune and Minneapolis television station WCCO.
Package services couldn't guarantee a delivery in time for the Monday wedding, so instead, Frost enlisted the help of another courier: his employee and 32-year-old daughter, Jessie Frost.
Jessie Frost, who is also a friend of the bride, endured an 11-hour flight and bumpy road to the resort that was hosting the wedding to hand-deliver Anderson's pants, according to the Star Tribune.
The bride and groom were "absolutely left speechless," Anderson told WCCO. "It's above and beyond the call of any small business."

About the Agreement | Action Plan
Activities | Denmark System of Vocational Education
U.S. System of Vocational Education| Links
The Danish system of vocational education and training(VET) is a centralised system. All standards are laid down by the Ministry of Education in the form of regulations. These regulations are prepared by the social partners, then approved by the Ministry of Education. There is no regional level within the VET system, only the national and local level.
In Denmark there are about 140 vocational colleges maintained by the public in the Danish VET system. More than 100 of these are technical and business colleges, the others include agricultural colleges and social and health care colleges http://www.uvm.dk/eng/publications/factsheets/fact3.htm. The Ministry of Education is responsible for the vocational education at these colleges. Vocational education and training activities for adults also takes place at AMU-Centres, related to the Ministry of Labour.
The Danish vocational education and training system is more than 450 years old and can be described as a cultural bridgehead between the European (German) dual apprenticeship systems and the school-based models of the Nordic countries. The system is a further development of the apprenticeship principle, and there is more theoretical teaching (more time spent in school) in the Danish VET system than in German VET programmes, and conversely far more practical in-company training than in the Swedish system, for example, where this makes up 15% of the training period, compared with 60-75% in Denmark.
The VET system features three main characteristics:
It is based on alternating periods of school education and practical training in a company. In general, vocational training does not take any longer than four years. Students normally attend vocational college for a maximum of 80 weeks. A young person spends two thirds of his/her training period in one or more company/ies which have been approved by the Trade Committee responsible as training companies (appr. 20% of all companies are approved as training enterprises). Before the practical training starts, the student has to sign an apprenticeship contract with the respective company.
The training does not only convey vocational and technical skills within a strictly professional context, but also inter-professional and general knowledge. General education accounts for appr. 33% of the training period while a number of optional disciplines make up about one sixth. Moreover, the system is sufficiently flexible to provide various access opportunities and allows for changing from one level of education to another.
The social partners are able to influence the system to a large extent as they are represented at the national and individual college level. This extended role is rather unique in a pan-European context. The Danish model features elements of cooperation which could also be interesting for other countries. Many protagonists are involved in the VET system - companies, the social partners, the government, colleges and teachers - and share a joint responsibility and cooperate in order to ensure continuous innovation of the system. The national and local procedures ensure consensus-building among the protagonists. At the same time, the structure is extremely dynamic as many reforms over the past 20 years have demonstrated.
A new structure http://www.uvm.dk/pub/2000/newstructure/of the vocational education and training system was implemented in January 2001.
Besides vocational education programs vocational colleges offer vocationally oriented general upper secondary education programs http://www.uvm.dk/eng/publications/factsheets/fact4.htm that are primarily preparing students for business or technically oriented post secondary education. Vocationally oriented post secondary education (diploma programs) are offered at vocational colleges.
Further information on vocational education and training in Denmark is available on

Being Stuck in a Philadelphia
The symbols of relevance, the things that transform a simple it into that proverbial "it" are generally born all in the timing, and since the Birds on the Bat are stuck in a Philadelphia this week, so too am I.
And I don't like it.
No, this has nothing to do with Philadelphia being a backwards place (it is). It doesn't have anything to do with the type of fans who cheer when the other teams' star gets hurt (they do). And of course, this does not have anything to do with that ^sswipe Jim Bunning (he really is an ^sswipe, folks).
Indeed, my suddenly emphatic aggravation with Philadelphia is rooted in one fella and one fella only. His name is Ruben. Ruben Effing Amaro (that middle name is still surreptitiously unofficial).
Why? Why such distaste for one man?
Because he gave a mighty slugger who is notoriously awful against left-handed pitching the contract extension of all contract extensions — a mesmerizing $25 million a year… for 2012 to 2016 — causing massive migraine headaches for we Cardinals fans already obsessively worrying about Albert Pujols' future with the team.
Yeah. Ryan Howard is good. But $25 million a year? He ain't that good.
And anyone who has ever seen the game of baseball can tell you that Albert Pujols is LIGHT YEARS better than Ryan Howard, in all aspects of the game. All… of… them.
So if Howard is worth $25 million a year, then Albert is worth $30-$32 million a year, which means that if I want A.P. to remain a Cardinal for life, I and the rest of Cardinals Nation better be ready to pay $100 for a bleacher ticket, or imagine a world where Albert isn't our savior.
(That would kill me by the way)
So thanks a lot, Ruben. Just a week ago, deep down inside, I would have admitted to having a strange yet pleasurable affinity for the Phillies. Dick Allen. Mike Schmidt. Steve Carlton. Pete Rose. Lenny Dykstra. Darren Daulton. Just the thought of those guys grindin' it out with the "P" on their caps kinda got me excited… and I have no idea why.
But now?
They're dead to me.
And so are you.*
Hate me 'cuz I give it to ya straight, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
*You're not really dead. This is what fancy writers like Al and I call "figure of speech". It can be AWEsome. Like it is here.

I think you're wrong. None other than JOE BUCK said Howard is statistically as good as it gets; there are few people in the world with the expertise of Joe Bu……..BAHAHAHAHAAA!!!
I ALMOST got through it.
Amaro's running the Phillies into the ditch. Slowly but surely.
Cheddar for cheap Whine….Peter, I'm going to use that!
But I must admit, Amaro certainly threw a hockey stick into the bicycle spokes. Giving him the money with no market made yet? …Prince, Albert and Gonzo are all coming into free agency together. There was no market reason to make the deal now. It's a strange move by Amaro. BUT we know as history is our teacher, in two years the deal will look like a bargain. This may turn out to be a bad Burrell deal all over again for Philly. This means Selig is going to have to come up with another bad idea to increase revenues. Great!
Prince — You had me laughin' there… I think we all know where Joe Buck can go.
Jonestein — Grazie😉
Mike — I think we can go ahead and say it was a terrible move by a baseball exec. Meh.
Peter — Y'all overpaid. You'll regret it in a few years when he's bigger and fatter and lazier and can't hit righties (he already can't hit lefties). And then, you won't be able to move him. No one — NO ONE — will take that contract. Get ready to be UNDER the Nats, Mets, Marlins and Braves in the next few years for a long, long while.
So AP has the most RBI's and HR's since Howard hit the majors… oh and here's your CHEDDAR…~~/\~ for your cheap wHine….
Phillies Outside
That was ridiculous money to Howard. And let's hope is NOT Selig that one that is going to fix this. We need new blood for commish. haha, I too love the cheddar for your cheap wHine. Thanks Peter!
Crzblue's Dodger Blue World
Effing hilarious. You are totally right about Howard ruining things for everybody else. I see alot of guys at the 1B spot changing teams soon because they'll just want huge money. Really, how many 1Bmen can the Yankees have on the roster!
Awww Jeff, that is so sad :O( Yes, I know Ruben F*ed things up for the other big hitting 1st baseman. I'd rather have Pujols than Howard, of course, but I guess we are stuck now. And even though you hate my team, I still love ya :O)
Emma — I'll keep the cheddar😉
Rays Fan Boy — The big market teams (Yanks, Red Sox, Dodgers…) none of them are gonna be in the market for a big name 1B. Ruben overpaid. Period.
Jenn — I still have no problem with the Phans… especially the nice ones like you😉

nspiccia (TEGA v2 Forum)
Had some issues with the Wifi Card of my Tega V2.1 and contacted the Tegatech support desk by email.
Have been pleasantly surprised by their prompt reply and case management.
- Petter (TEGA v2 Forum)
I am very impressed with the level of after sales support. Hugo and his staff were very helpful in supporting me
bbtech (TEGA v2 Forum)
Usually when you email some companies it takes days to get a response. I got an email reply within hours from a real person and they were very helpful. Great technological support.
- Auz (TEGA v2 Forum)
I recently installed a 3G drive on my Tablet, but the performance of the connection was not good. I bought a replacement antenna of Tega, service, delivery and support were wonderful!
Thanks and Congratulations to the TEGA team.
- KMIKAZE (TEGA v2 Forum)
Yes, the Tega v2 does cost a bit more but it is simply a better package and I can't underscore enough what a difference good support and customer service is worth.

A wholesaler of Tablet computers and Touch Technologies established in 2001 Tegatech Australia started in the confines of a home garage. Having grown substantially since humble beginnings, Tegatech served resellers across Australia for the first five years. In 2006 operations were expanded into Europe (based out of Munich, Germany) and subsequently North America (based out of Florida, USA).
One key turning point was the launch of the company's flagship Tablet PC – The TEGA v2 – which shipped to over 20 countries globally since 2010. With a passionate community of thousands of TEGA v2 Forum Members the TEGA v2 has a strong cult following and support infrastructure in place. The TEGA v2 has setup a great platform for TEGATECH to launch a TEGA v3, TEGA a3 and more.
Tegatech now welcomes hundreds of resellers from across the globe and continues to expand its product lines and resources to assist resellers. As a wholesaler Tegatech works with several manufacturers to distribute products across the globe and increase opportunities for resellers to increase their profit through great products and great service.
Becoming an Authorized Reseller is simple with Tegatech. By completing the standard dealer application you'll gain access to wholesale pricing, be allowed access to our extensive range of loan devices (which we offer for at no cost to Authorized Resellers) and have direct access to our support staff and infrastructure.
Here are the steps to setting up access:
Tegatech has teamed up with the good folks at Flexirent to make buying technology easier. Flexirent is the smart way to pay for computing equipment, electronics and appliances. Rather than paying outright, Flexirent allows consumers and businesses to rent an extensive range of TVs, laptops, computing equipment, white goods, etc. from Tegatech Australia.
Flexirent offers rental finance for personal or business use, over a term that suits you and your budget. Whether it's a new LCD 3D TV for your home or a Tablet PC for your business, the equipment you lease is protected against theft, loss and accidental damage. Flexirent customers also enjoy the security of our 'replacement promise' or 'loan' equipment should yours ever need repair. And with flexible end of term options you can upgrade your rental equipment as new technology rolls out.
All you need to do is select "Flexirent" as your preferred payment option at checkout and a dedicated Flexirent staff member will be in contact with you immediately (warn you - they're very enthusiastic!) and assist you with a simple application.
How much warranty comes with the computers? All devices are offered with 12-month manufacturer warranty but in some cases 2yr or 3yrs are included with the item – in these case the product description will reflect this respectively.
Can I purchase additional warranty cover? Absolutely! Tegatech offer 2nd Year (adds 1yr of coverage) and 3rd year (adds 2yrs of coverage) additional warranties for all devices sold. For more information regarding extended warranties follow this link.
Select the site most suited to your needs and checkout online! Please note that local duties and taxes will not be included in the final calculated price. You'll pick those up when the items clears your local customs.
How much does freight cost? Freight is calculated based on distance travelled. To make things easy we offer flat rate shipping charges to many areas, however we reserve the right (and need) to vary the freight charge after checkout based on your final destination and volume of goods ordered.
Can I buy directly from Tegatech if I'm not a reseller? You can – no problem! But if you work with your local reseller you'll likely get a better price and better service. If you don't know who your local reseller is contact Tegatech to find out! Remember, we're here to serve resellers so only buy online if you consider yourself a super-geek and know what you're doing!
Tegatech offer our own brand of devices through the TEGA branding. Knowing however that the world is full of fantastic devices we also work with carefully selected vendors to bring a large variety of devices to the public. Selecting vendors involves factory visits, quality control and most importantly supportive infrastructure. If we can't support it – we don't sell it!
Current vendors we support include:
There are more vendors we offer and more we will continue to carefully add. If you ever come across a product (anywhere in the world) that you wish to purchase just let us know too!

To maximize efficiencies, today's manufacturing plants are becoming more automated to ensure precise quality control through all stages of production.
With a Tegatech Australia mobile solution, warehouse and manufacturing staff can assess key milestones while tracking all stages of production from anywhere on the production floor - without having to go back to an office to re-enter data and findings.
To increase productivity and reduce errors, many warehouses now utilize menu-driven applications using a touchscreen to regulate standards and benchmarks. If handwritten notes are used to gauge progresses, then "jotting" notes on a Slate Tablet PC or a UMPC provides a constructive manner for keeping continuous archive of progress. Either way, the information can be transmitted to a centralized data management via wireless servers to eliminate duplicate efforts and keep everyone on the production floor current and connected.
As today's teachers incorporate Tablet PCs and UMPCs into the lesson plans, they are promoting an exciting learning experience that encourages efficiency and enables stronger classroom interaction.
Tegatech Australia Tablet PCs and UMPCs help teachers develop a more flexible "mobile teaching" style as well as create higher impact "real-time" presentations. Using a wireless connection, teachers can easily distribute electronic content, assign electronic reference materials and video clips and answer individual questions for increased efficiency.
For students, a Tegatech Australia Sahara Slate PC® Tablet PC or eo™ UMPC provides a compact and lightweight educational tool for taking notes in digital ink, reading e-books, completing assignments, watching presentations and communicating with other students.
For government field work, a Tegatech Australia Sahara Slate PC® Tablet PC or eo™ UMPC is the ideal tool to maximize agent efficiency and increase productivity levels for mobile users. Using handwriting input or touch screen, menu driven applications, government workers can maintain a constant electronic record of case file information, access critical information, and automate forms, contracts and processes from anywhere in the field or the office.
Check out this news video (courtesy of CBS-13, WJZ-TV in Baltimore, MD) that shows how the Maryland State Police are using the Sahara Slate PC to help combat potential terrorist threats.
In today's fast-paced medical environment, doctors and clinicians require mobility, speed and accuracy - all critical elements for a well-functioning healthcare facility.
Because medical professionals utilize technology in so many different ways, Tegatech Australia offers a broad range of lightweight and portable PCs that provide the power, stability and functionality of full desktop PCs combined with the ease of resistive touch screen or handwriting input. These portable devices and sturdy devices can be carried, carted or mounted anywhere to maximize workflow efficiencies in a clinical setting.

The MediSlate™ MCA i1040XT features a 10.4" touch screen offering the easiest and most intuitive method of entering information electronically. The resistive touch screen interface is unique to the MediSlate because clinicians can "type" information directly on the screen on the QWERTY keyboard, update patient information and run menu driven applications with their fingertips or even wearing gloves.
As a mobile data collection tool, the MediSlate™ MCA i1040XT is also an indispensable tool for verifying patient identification and scanning labels from medications and blood vials. The MediSlate™ MCA features an integrated suite of data and image capturing technologies including 2D barcode scanner, 2.0 megapixel camera, and a 13.56MHz RFID reader built into its ergonomic handle.

This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
STORYThis card honors what future Hall of Famer Don Sutton did on Aug. 8, 1984, when he passed the 100-strikeout mark for the season. It was his record 19th straight year with at least 100, although Nolan Ryan would eventually blow by that mark.
