By MICHAEL KELLY
Before each Amsterdam Mohawks game, public address announcer Bob Malicki goes through a well-honed spiel about how the franchise is turning out professional baseball players in abundance.
Those words don't lack substance behind them.
The Mohawks now have more than 30 former players playing professional baseball, with most competing for the farm teams of Major League Baseball franchises. Through August, I'll use this space to provide weekly updates on how players with local ties are performing in their quest to make it to the big leagues.
All statistics used are through Wednesday's action.
Even before he threw a pitch for the Mohawks, Mark Leiter Jr. was slated to be a fan favorite in Amsterdam.
The right-handed pitcher from the New Jersey Institute of Technology with the famous baseball name lived up to his billing in Amsterdam, helping the squad to a PGCBL championship in 2012 while piling up strikeouts.
The two-year Mohawk has found success quickly in the minors. The Philadelphia Phillies drafted Leiter in the 22nd round of the 2013 draft, and the right-hander was recently promoted from playing for the franchise's Lakewood affiliate to competing for Clearwater, which plays in the high Single-A Florida State League.
Leiter has taken well to the promotion. The 23-year-old had accrued a 4.38 ERA in 84 1/3 innings in Lakewood before his promotion, but Leiter debuted Saturday for Clearwater with six innings of two-run baseball, in which he struck out six batters and granted no walks.
Even without his ties to the Mohawks, left-handed pitcher Matt Gage is a man of many local connections. The 2011 Broadalbin-Perth graduate and Siena College product pitched for the Mohawks in 2012, a stint which helped launch Gage's career to another level.
Gage was taken in the 10th round of this year's draft by the San Francisco Giants, and the lefty has started well for the Giants' farm team in Arizona's rookie league. Gage has worked as a reliever in a pair of games, both times tossing an inning of perfect baseball.
Gage's best performance came June 30, when he recorded his first professional strikeout in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers' affiliate.
After starring for the Mohawks with his thunderous bat in both 2010 and 2011, catcher Luke Maile has kept chugging along while playing in the Tampa Bay Rays' system.
A former star of the University of Kentucky, Maile was drafted in the eighth round of the 2012 draft. Each year, Maile has advanced a level, and the 23-year-old has played well this season for the Montgomery Biscuits, a Double-A squad.
Maile is hitting .269 in 2014, providing nice pop with 16 extra-base hits, four of which are home runs.

Grammys: Ready to Make Nice?
The Grammy Awards were on last night. There was a time when a broader variety of categories were featured, as popular music artists would step aside for the presentation of classical or opera awards. These days, it's one set of skanks after another, as the less mainstream categories are shown in a series of "grips and grins" from earlier in the day. So this writer waits to read about it in the papers the next morning.
As most people know, the Dixie Chicks walked away with five awards, including Record, Song, and Country Album of the Year, all in connection with their latest hit, "Not Ready to Make Nice," from their album "Taking the Long Way." "NRTMN" was their response to the backlash from country music fans after their antiwar statements. A casual observation would betray an irony that the Chicklets would win anything country, when they have taken pains not to classify themselves that way anymore. But one should remember that this is not a tribute from Nashville, but from Hollywood. So where country music really matters, and to a fan base that is traditionally patriotic to a fault, this doesn't matter anyway. It comes down to the music itself, and that some will accept their artistic merits and set the politics aside, while others will not.
Nor does it matter much that Jimmy Sturr, the pre-eminent polka artist of America, won Best Polka Album ("Polka in Paradise"), as he has nearly every year for nearly a quarter of a century. (A rare exception was the north Texas-based Brave Combo, who seized the title in 2000 for "Polkasonic.") On the other hand, it was a relief to read that Bruce Springsteen won Best Traditional Folk Album for "We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions." An interesting comeback was Ike Turner, who took Best Traditional Blues Album for "Risin' With The Blues." Bryan Sutton and Doc Watson won Best Country Instrumental Performance for a fiddler's classic "Whiskey Before Breakfast." As if to prove he isn't out of the game, Bob Dylan took Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album for "Modern Times." (So there's a category for "Americana" now. Hmmm...) Meanwhile, the award for Best Reggae Album went to -- who else? -- Ziggy Marley ("Love Is My Religion"), and The Klezmatics won Best Contemporary World Music Album ("Wonder Wheel").
There were some interesting developments outside the "roots music" realm, at least where yours truly was concerned. Bryn Terfel, that dashing teddy-bear of a Welshman (Isn't that right, girls?), snapped up Best Classical Crossover Album for "Simple Gifts" with the London Voices and London Symphony Orchestra. Finally, the hometown Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, through its engineer Michael Bishop, won Best Engineered Album, Classical, for "Elgar: Enigma Variations; Britten: the Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, Four Sea Interludes."
Finally, Natalie Maimes announced that she's "ready to make nice" now. It's the very least she could do, dontcha think?
Or don't you?

LIMA, Ohio - A man who lived just down the street from the North Cole Street branch of the Commercial Bank of Delphos was charged yesterday with robbing the bank.
Jeff Nichols, 41, of Lima, allegedly walked into the bank with a gun about 9:55 a.m. and demanded money. He fled with an undisclosed amount of cash but was apprehended by Allen County sheriff's deputies as he pulled into his home less than a half-mile away.
Mr. Nichols was charged with aggravated robbery.

Contest, blues and jams this weekend
Last week, Brookfield singer-songwriter Nora Collins, 17, got to sing the national anthem at a Mitt Romney rally in West Allis.
On Friday, Collins will be campaigning in her own contest as one of 10 finalists in the Wisconsin Singer/Songwriter Series' Song Contest Competition. It's the first in a planned annual competition in the series' 20-year history, said founder Joe Delucia. "It was a good way of celebrating the song and how moving the medium of music can be," he said. »Read Full Article

In any case, John Griffin, the director of Humane Wildlife Services at HSUS, says that the state rules for nuisance wildlife operators weren't designed for this kind of situation. "It's not the intent of it to provide entertainment," he says. "You're really introducing a new conflict, and it's way outside of what's allowed."
Bailey says it's possible the raccoon cubs could have died in the wild. But once they were in the show's possession, she says, every additional hour away from proper care put them in greater danger. "If these animals were somehow subjected to someone's production schedule, somebody's convenient timeline, and you're dealing with newborn animals that need round-the-clock care—then that's wrong," she says.
Kentucky law prohibits wantonly failing to provide adequate food, drink, or health care to an animal. The Animal Legal Defense Fund has ranked Kentucky as the worst state in the country for animal protection for the last seven years in a row, in part because of weak enforcement.
Bats in The Hair Salon
Documents and sources also raise troubling questions about a segment shot at Jazzy Girls, a brightly painted storefront in Houston's fashionable Montrose neighborhood, in April last year. "A mysterious skittering sound in the storage room has been terrorizing the hairdressers," says the voiceover in "Bat Hair Day," which aired in early August. Turtleman is invited by the owner, Velma Trayham, a.k.a. "Coco the CEO," to "uncover the culprit before business goes belly-up." Then, Turtleman "discovers" a group of Mexican free-tailed bats.
Animal Planet and Sharp acknowledge that the bats were placed in the salon for the purpose of filming, but they claim that it happened legally. "Everyone involved in the production of Call of the Wildman is aware to follow all the laws, state and federal, and they know that they have to abide by them for every aspect of the production," Adler says.
Texas law allows people to remove bats from their homes or businesses, though Jonah Evans, a biologist with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, told us that bringing a bat to a new location for entertainment purposes alone is not allowed.
In the weeks after the shooting, documents show, Animal Planet contracted a pest control company to remove dead bats from the salon. Sharp says only one dead bat was recovered, and that it was a different species than the bats they brought in. But Jamie and another individual with direct knowledge of the arrangement say that a pest control company was required at least twice, and Mother Jones has seen documents indicating that Sharp paid for bat removal service on two separate occasions; both sources say one dead bat was definitely the same species as the bats Turtleman chased. During the filming of the episode, Turtleman is shown sealing the gaps in the salon walls shut with tape so the bats can't escape during the "rescue." High slapstick ensues as he flounders to catch the animals with his bare hands and the staff obliges with screams. (Trayham declined to be interviewed. The salon has since closed.)
The Woozy Zebra and the "Wild" Mink
In another Texas-based episode, "Lone Stars and Stripes," Turtleman chases a zebra that has supposedly escaped from its fenced-in yard at a ranch. He rides in hot pursuit of the animal in the flatbed of his pickup, brandishing a lasso; eventually he corners the zebra and tackles it.
But behind the scenes, things were far murkier. Production sources told me that the zebra seemed woozy during filming; it could barely walk. Animal Planet and Sharp obtained the zebra from the Franklin Drive Thru Safari, an animal park run by a businessman named Jason Clay. In a phone interview, Clay confirmed that he supplied the zebra, but denied using sedatives. Clay is licensed under the federal regulations for animal exhibitors, which specify that "drugs, such as tranquilizers, shall not be used to facilitate, allow, or provide for public handling of the animals," and that handling of animals should not cause trauma, behavioral stress, physical harm, or unnecessary discomfort.
Despite Clay's denial, Animal Planet and Sharp confirmed to Mother Jones that the zebra was drugged before filming, but they say it happened behind their backs. However, Jamie and other sources say that the crew was aware of the zebra's sedation during filming, especially since the animal nearly fell over several times. "I heard about the zebra being almost unusable," says another source. "They sedated it, to get it to be less crazy." Another confirmed that the zebra looked "out of it." Animal Planet admits that producers used an additional, unsedated zebra for supplemental footage.
"It's a damn bullshit show," Clay says. "You know it, and I know it. It's just entertainment, cheap entertainment. It gives everybody a job or something to do."
On movie sets, union rules require animal handlers to be monitored by the American Humane Association, which bestows the coveted "No Animals Were Harmed" disclaimer. (The group was the subject of a recent investigation by Hollywood Reporter, which describes AHA's resources as stretched thin, even for the shows they do monitor.)
But AHA supervision is not required on nonunion sets, and the group says Call of the Wildman has never invited the group to monitor animals. Sharp says that it now employs an animal handler with a USDA exhibitor license to enforce its new guidelines, which it made available to Mother Jones.
But prior to these changes, say the sources, Animal Planet asked untrained staff members to handle animals and to make ethical judgments about using them. In one episode, Turtleman is called in to track down a mink vandalizing a putt-putt course in Lexington, Kentucky. Because of scheduling issues, the mink was kept caged for up to a week at the home of a local production staffer, Will Johnston, according to two sources who worked on the show. Johnston declined to comment. Animal Planet confirms the mink was not Johnston's pet.
Sharp said in a statement that, "It has always been COTWM policy that show staff not be asked to handle the animals on a production. Prior to season three, occasionally, staff members were asked to supply food or water or to accompany a licensed officer in the transport of animals."
But the new policies, say members of the show's crew, may not fix all the problems with the show's animal-handling culture. "I think the entire model is wrong," said one of the sources. "I don't think the needs of production trumps the needs of both the environment and the ethical treatment of these animals."
In the end, says Bailey, "so many people look up to Animal Planet. They remember the old Animal Planet that was dedicated to true education about animals and conservation. But to put animals in harm's way, to put these animals in stressful situations and to not look out for their wellbeing—it's wrong and it's disappointing."

The Backwards Chain Rule...
18.3 Tricks of Integration
I am too lazy to search for counter examples if somebody can find one that would be excellent. More excellent if he can proof it.
Let f be a differenciable function at c and let g be a function which is defined on an open interval containing f(c) such that (g o f) is differenciable at c. Show that g is differenciable at c.
The Backwards Chain Rule...
18.3 Tricks of Integration
Example 1:
Let g(x) = 1/x
Let f(x) = x + 1
Let c = 0
Example 2:
Let g(x) = |x - 3|
Let f(x) = 2x
Let c = 3
If f(x) is some function defined and differentiable on a closed interval [a,b] containing the point x = c, where f(c) = d != c and f'(c) = e, and if g(x) is some function defined on a piecewise, differentiable domain D = {x | x !=c} containing the point x = d, where g'(d) = n, then it holds that
d/dx(g o f)(c) = g'(f(c))*f'(c) = g'(d)*e = ne <-- is defined
d/dx(g(c)) <-- is undefined
I'm not sure that counts as a formal proof. I've learned proofs on my own (much of it on this site), so I cannot guarantee that there are no flaws in my logic.

A bucket list for my dog
I decided to create a bucket list for Ace, and to keep it to 10 items.
Most of these are actually more about me than my dog. Ace is happy with a 20-minute walk and a tennis ball. He probably doesn't care about a bucket list.
Still, I decided to create a list of 10 things I'd really like to do with my dog in his lifetime.
A bucket list for my dog Ace
1. Road trip to Wisconsin.
We moved from North Dakota to California last summer, and it would really mean a lot to me if Ace could visit my parents in Wisconsin at least one more time. This is definitely more for me than him, but I would love to see him running on my parents' property again, swimming in their lake and jumping off their dock.
Obviously, this will depend on our budget and work schedules. It's a 2,000-mile drive.
"I would love to see him running on my parents' property again …"
2. Sign up for an obedience class.
I know! It sounds so basic. But since we moved I haven't taken the time to find a club or trainer I really like, and I haven't budgeted the $200 (yikes!) for a class.
Training classes are something Ace and I really love doing together.
3. Plan a photoshoot.
This could be professional or it could just be my husband and I with our camera. Either way, I'd like to get some solid, high-quality photos we can save forever, including action shots of Ace chasing his ball, portraits of us with our dog and one of Ace with the cats.
"I'd like to get some solid, high-quality photos we can save forever …"
4. Take Ace to a nursing home.
Ace visited my grandma in the nursing home back in 2008. I'm grateful for that, but it's something I haven't done since. My dog has the perfect energy and personality for visiting people in nursing homes, and I'd really like to take him somewhere locally if possible.
5. Take more videos of my dog.
This would be to capture all his tricks and goofy traits like howling.
6. Plan a "perfect day" for my dog once a year.
I did this for my senior foster dog Dora because I knew she had limited time, but let's face it, we all have limited time. We should all be planning lots of "perfect days" for ourselves and our dogs.
7. Spend half the day at the beach with my dog.
You'd think we would've done this by now since we live within walking distance of a great beach. Nope. All our visits are about 20 minutes to an hour or so.
8. Go camping with my dog.
Yes, we've done this before, but not often enough. It's been over two years since our last camping trip. Thankfully, we have a camping trip planned next month in northern California!
9. Road trip to Texas.
My brother lives in Odessa, and it would be a lot of fun to take Ace to see "Uncle Peter." For several years, Peter lived in Grand Forks, N.D., while I lived 70 miles south in Fargo. During that time, Ace got to take several road trips to see Peter. It would be fun to do that again, only now it's a 1,000-mile trip.
10. Visit Montana.
My husband and I have plans to eventually move to Montana where we have a dream of owning a ranch. I'm not sure if this will happen in Ace's lifetime, but either way I would like to take Ace to that area to check out some property. He's never been to Montana, and it would mean a lot to me to get him there at least once.
So, as you can see, it's important to me to be out and about doing things with my dog!
What's one thing you would include on a bucket list for your dog?
I read about this great idea first on The Lazy Pit Bull. A bucket list for your dog!
24 Readers CommentedJoin discussion
Such an adorable idea. We have an unofficial one for our dog that we started a couple years back. He's 15 years old now so the more memories we make this way, the more special it seems 🙂 Hope you get to complete this list! One thing that we wanted to do was see our dog swim which we did at a nearby creek. Another was to go to the beach which we did last year. A roadtrip and definitely camping is also on our list!
My mutt loves Montana (and so do I)! I hope you get to take Ace. On my dogs bucket list: travel as much as her humans can take her.
We're going on a two week road trip in a few weeks. On the docket: Colorado, Montana, Washington and Oregon. It's going to be fun!
Sounds like a fun trip!
That reminds me: my dogs loved Montana too.
And for all my accumulated dog knowledge, Montana is where I learned the very useful fact that the herby smell of elk dung does not ever completely wash out of a nylon collar.
I like the idea of a "bucket list" for us & our dogs. I also need to schedule more video-taking and photo shoot time. I agree that it's more about the people than the dogs, but it's also about strengthening and celebrating your relationship together.
As for how to make a list or changes that are specifically about your dog, it seems like we can all do more to make the "perfect day" concept more of our dogs' experience, not just as an end-of-life thing. I've been trying to incorporate that into what I do with my dogs.
Just like a bucket list, you can make a list of your dog's perfect day – don't put more than 5 to 10 items on it. Then look at the list and consider: without damaging anyone's health or budget, which of these things can I do once a year? quarterly? monthly? weekly? daily?
Thinking in terms of making every day have the potential to be the perfect day made me realize that very simple changes (and some slightly more involved ones) could bring my dogs far more enjoyment on a regular or routine basis. Most of what makes our dogs happy is related to food, things to chew, the types of places to go, activities and games to play, friends to see (human, canine, other), and one-on-one time together. Balancing work and life responsibilities, we can't make every moment of every day perfect for our dogs, but we can introduce small things to make the day better.
What a beautiful idea!
Just last weekend my husband and I were able to cross something off our unofficial "bucket list" for our dog. He has major reactivity issues ever since some dumb stoner and his dog attacked him, and he doesn't like meeting new people. Sometimes he growls, or snaps when people try to pet him. We've been working on it, and on Sunday we had him at an adoption event (not FOR adoption, he was just there for fun) and he let several people pet him with no fuss. He even seemed to like it! That's what I want for my dog more than anything; to not be scared when people approach him. To enjoy people cooing over him and telling him he's adorable as much as I do. If he ever gets lost, I want him to let a stranger help him get home.
Other, less vital things on my doggie bucket list would be:
Take an agility class
Visit the snow
Teach him to enjoy water (or maybe it's pointless to wish for a terrier that swims)
Those are all such great ideas! I may need to do this.
Reading this bucket list for Ace made me teary eyed, especially #1! I hope he gets to do all of these things. At the same time, I know he has a good life and even if he doesn't to get to do all of them, he'll be one happy dog as long as he has you!
I love this idea. I like your ideas like the photos and obedience class. I'm not sure exactly what would be on my list. This will take some thought.
What a lovely idea! Hmm… I'll have to think of some things to add to Chowski's bucket list. The number one thing on his bucket list at the moment is to attend a local Pug meet.
I think he'd love to be around so many dogs that look like him! 🙂
Aw, I loved this idea so much that I just wrote up a bucket list for my 1.5 year old lab mix…That dog is my world!
Here is what is on our list: Run trails out west at a National Park, take a Rally obedience class (We already took many agility classes), Go camping, swim in the ocean, hike part of the Appalachian trail (possibly this fall!), Run a pooch 5k, eat at a dog friendly restaurant, find a weirdnj.com site, buy a good camera for excellent photos, and go on a night trail run!
What a great idea of creating a bucket list! I love all of your bullet points – minus the camping one, that's not for me as I'm terrified of insects and such 🙁
My personal high priority is taking our pups to a beach. Missy loves water, and Buzz enjoys fetching his ball or frisbee out of it. They've been to pools, lakes, and streams, but haven't been oceanside yet. To be worked on!! Thanks for the reminder of following through 🙂
This post really struck me – my fur-baby Shian went finally blind this week – he is around 8 years old – and what I did was have a 'living bucket list' – meaning the things I wanted to do with him while he could still see – in last year – we travelled across country, hiked mountains, spent countless hours at the beach – his inability to see changes what we can do together now – I think all along he just wanted to play fetch – and we can still do that – he follows the ball by sounds and smells – I never appreciated the faculty of vision so much as I do now after watching him go blind – our lives really changed – more than I realized – but our relationship has deepened immensely in many ways…
Your great Lindsay,I never thought of a bucket list for Emma Lou.We live a few hours from the snow and we have never been in the snow..The training classes too.We were going to classes but have not in a year.I don`t know what else yet to put on her bucket list but going to the snow and a few classes would be a great start.

RUSH: How many news outlets are reporting that the price of gas has gone up by more than 30¢ in the last month? The price of gasoline, the average price of gasoline, is higher than it was this time last year. How many people are reporting, in the news media, the wholesale sales figures, which are plummeting? In fact, an umbrella question: How many stories are you seeing, period, about the economy? In fact, maybe I have it here near the top. You know, a lot of...
Well, I've got to be very, very careful here. A lot of... What's the correct word? Uh, let's see. Shall we say "slow"? That's still not right. A lot of idiots get their news from Yahoo! So what I thought I would do is I'm going to give you the top ten news stories on Yahoo! today. The headlines. They have this thing that they run from the AP called
"The Ten Things to Know for Thursday." "The Ten Things to Know for Tuesday." "The Ten Things to Know for Wednesday" and so on.
And here are today's "The Ten Things to Know for Thursday" from AP on Yahoo! One: "Clashes Rage in Aleppo Despite Regime Claims." Where? What? Where is Aleppo? I know it's in Syria, but do you think that the average Yahoo!-ite has the slightest idea where Aleppo is? Do you think the average Yahoo!-ite knows where Damascus is? Okay, if they don't know where Damascus is, how in the hell are they going to know where Aleppo is? That's number one: "Clashes Rage in Aleppo Despite Regime Claims."
And number two: "Romney Won't Wait for Obama's Pick to Trash Possible VP Candidates." Number three: "Murder Trial Ends for Wife of Disgraced Chinese Politician." Number four: "News Groups Head to Court for Release of Data on Colorado Shooter." Number five: "Why Livestock Ranchers are at Odds with Corn Farmers." Did you know that, folks? Did you know anything on this list? Did you know the murder trial ended for the wife of a disgraced ChiCom politician?
Snerdley, you live on the AP wire every day. I know you know. I'm asking you to put yourself in the shoes of the average Yahoo!-ite or whatever you call them. Number six: "Dry Summer is Bad News for Bears." These are the "Ten Things to Know for Thursday" from AP via Yahoo! Number seven: "How Japan Marked the 67th Anniversary of the Nagasaki A-Bomb Attack." I'm just reading the headlines. I don't know how they marked it. There's probably the mayor of an American city over there apologizing.
I don't know. When I lived in Sacramento, there was a mayor there named Anne Rudin, and did she go apologize or did she want to go? I don't remember which, but she wanted to go over there to apologize. Number eight: "Man Accused of Killing a Hasidic Boy Expected to Plead Guilty." Number nine: "Japanese Women's Soccer Team Hopes to Repeat its World Cup Victory." Number ten: "With Bolt and Blake Running, Some Ask: Who is Going to Get the Bronze?" All right, that's the last of AP's top things to know: Who the hell's going to get a bronze medal?
Not gold, not silver, but, "Who is going to get the bronze?" Again, number three: "Murder Trial Ends for Wife of Disgraced Chinese Politician." So in the Top Ten Things to Know on Yahoo! via AP, not one thing about the US economy. Not one thing about Romney either, but not one thing about jobs. In fact, this is Thursday. It's Job Revision Day, and there is a jobs story out today. And the Reuters people, in the story I saw, tried to make it look pretty good.
But not even that's being reported because they know it's a bunch of BS. They're all still so focused on Romney killing this guy's wife. So on that basis, is it working? Is it working? Where are the stories on gasoline prices? What was the Democrat message in 2006? Do you remember the midterm elections of 2006? The message in 2006 was: "The economy is bad, and it's all Bush's fault." What was the Democrat message in 2008? "The economy's bad and it's all Bush's fault."

We only stayed two nights. The first night the room was freezing and the water changes from hot to cold frequently. The second night the building lost power well into the morning, so there was no heat or hot water before we needed to pack for the airport. The double bed is two twins pushed together, and no wifi in the rooms. Price and location are good, and breakfast is nice. I wouldn't avoid in the future, but thought it was a bit overrated.

More auto rental providers to lease space at airport terminal
Hertz and Avis auto rental companies at the Williamsport Regional Airport terminal will have more competition starting Nov. 15 as Enterprise Holdings Inc.'s three rental providers will be leasing a space approved at Wednesday's Williamsport Municipal Airport Authority.
Drive Alliance's partnership of National Car Rental, Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Alamo will rent one space for $500 a month or 10 percent of its monthly gross revenue, whichever is greater, plus $339 a month for its counter space, said authority Executive Director Tom Hart.
The lease is a one-year agreement with four one-year options, which is the same agreement as with the other car rental companies, Hart said.
Enterprise area manager Kevin Kolodgie represented the company at the meeting.
Abel Fence Co. won the bid to clean up and replace the airport perimeter security fencing. Its base bid No. 1 is for $64,965, and its base bid No. 2 is for $66,925, for a total of $131,890. New York State Fence was a close second, as its concepts paralled Abel Fence Co.'s, so the decision came down to the low bid, Hart said.
Fence work should be completed in four weeks.
Regarding the alternate bids for repair of two 12-by-50 sections of two small roads leading to Federal Aviation Administration equipment, the authority decided it was less costly to do the repairs in-house for $1,720, as the lowest alternate bid was $1,900, Hart said. The authority is purchasing material and renting a skidloader for two days, and Montoursville Borough is lending another piece of equipment to complete the project.
Electrical service feeding two approach lighting towers atop the old Schnadig property owned by SJ Holdings LLC must be relocated. As the authority is responsible for the electrical part of it, and it's Federal Aviation Administration equipment, the administration will do the electrical design. The authority entered into an agreement with SJ Holdings that Holdings will pay 80 percent of design costs. Design costs are not to exceed $40,000, Hart said.
In other business, the authority approved:
A $21,900 proposal from certified public accountant Scott Stugart for the authority's 2013 audit
Advertising on Municibid, an online auction site for municipalities that allows the public's purchase, for the sale of the authority's 1983 SnowBlast snowblower and 2000 Dodge Durango.

|Val Jean
|The Val Jean
|Destroyed (2371)
|The Val Jean is pursued by the Vetar
The Val Jean was a small raider-type craft operated by the Maquis during the early 2370s. The impulse engines of Val Jean were originally built in 2332.
In 2371, while under the command of Chakotay, the Val Jean was pursued by the Cardassian warship Vetar, Gul Evek's flagship. Chakotay ordered the ship into the Badlands to try to escape the Cardassians.
After eluding pursuit, the Val Jean was scanned by a coherent tetryon beam and transported into the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker. Once there, the crew was abducted and subjected to medical tests to determine their biological compatibility with the Caretaker. One of the crew, chief engineer B'Elanna Torres, was removed from the others and sent to the surface of the Ocampa homeworld.
In order to recover his missing crew member, Chakotay reluctantly joined forces with Starfleet captain Kathryn Janeway of the USS Voyager, who had been sent to capture him but had instead been pulled into the Delta Quadrant as well. The cooperation proved successful, and both Torres and Voyager crew member Harry Kim were rescued.
Subsequently, both Voyager and the Val Jean were engaged in a dogfight by a small fleet of Kazon-Ogla warships, including a massive Kazon carrier vessel. Because the Kazon vastly outgunned both Voyager and the Val Jean, Chakotay chose to perform a ramming maneuver to destroy the much larger ship and "take some heat off [Voyager's] tail." The ramming was successful; the carrier was destroyed after colliding with the Caretaker's array, and Chakotay was beamed out of the cockpit in the nick of time.
Following the destruction of their ship, the Maquis crew were accepted as members of the Voyager crew and given temporary Starfleet commissions. Although they came from hostile backgrounds, the two crews would have to work together to survive in the Delta Quadrant and return home to Earth. (VOY: "Caretaker")
Crew manifest Edit
- See: Val Jean personnel
Appendices Edit
Background information Edit
The name of Chakotay's ship, Val Jean, comes from "Repression", where it is seen on Teero Anaydis' computer. The ship was probably named for Jean Valjean, the hero of "Les Misérables". Michael Eddington also referenced him, comparing his situation to the Maquis in DS9: "For the Uniform".
Another popular name of Chakotay's ship, Zola, comes from a cut line in VOY: "Parallax" that was never aired. This name probably comes from Émile Zola, a 19th century French novelist, but it's not considered strictly canon. The same is true of Liberty, which was the name given in Jeri Taylor's novel Pathways, or Selva, the name given in book two of Susan Wright's novel The Badlands. Geronimo is the latest name attributed to the ship in the Star Trek: Mirror Universe: Obsidian Alliances anthology from Pocket Books, in the story "The Mirror-Scaled Serpent".
The cockpit of the Val Jean was a re-dress of the Danube-class runabout set from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, with older-style display graphics first used in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.
In the novel Quarantine, the ship is called the Spartacus, though it is stated that Maquis captains frequently change the names of their ships in order to make it appear that the Maquis have more ships than they actually do.

After sneaking their way into the playoffs last season, the Utah Jazz seemed poised to repeat their success from last year and possibly end up a little higher than an eighth seed.
However, currently sitting at 20-19 (as of January 14th), there is work to be done in Utah. There is plenty of promising young talent and a bevy of established veteran players on the Jazz, but the team has yet to hit its stride.
If the Jazz want to find themselves playing in the postseason again this year, they'll have to make some improvements, so let's take a look at five ways in particular that the Jazz need to get better.

After a while, one starts thinking in that language,dreaming in that language, as well as speaking in thatlanguage, and the behavior becomes different. —J. J. JamesonWind cannot change the dark, late March, when the strip of soilalong my fence goes soft, ready for seed.From morning sky, a promise of heaviness.Clouds curl like smoke, cigarettes you ask for the day they fly you,bound, to Dedham. So I plant orange flowers, and yellow,whose petals trap sunlight, beacons lining the walkfrom garage to house. In my dream, you tell meyou have one more thing to dobefore you can come back: prune trees before sap rises, you say,no pain, no ooze, the firs sleepbeyond memory. From my angle of repose, do I see a branch blown uprightor a hawk at rest in his hunt, moon meltinglayers of gold on new grass? In an orange hard hatyou swing the cherry picker. The bandit raccoon crosses a networkof roofs yard to yard. In the alley, the grinder lops woodinto sawdust. "As long as I go to heaven,that's all what counts"—your answer to my fear of awakening to my heart chained to a wall.Meanwhile, the storm comes slate-grey while monarchs weaveamong unbloomed sunflowers.
Michael Izbicki grew up in a nondenominational church in California. A National Merit Scholarship finalist, he chose to go to the U.S. Naval Academy out of a sense of duty to his country during a time of war. At the naval academy he began to doubt whether the career to which he had committed himself could be squared with the tenets of just war doctrine. He got in trouble when he responded no to this exam question: "If given the order, would you launch a missile carrying a nuclear warhead?" After a four-year legal battle, the navy discharged him as a conscientious objector. Izbicki may have to reimburse the service for part or all of his education (New York Times, February 22).

In America we had this National Socialist movement, and these people go around, they do these very public demonstrations, they have swastikas and the whole thing, and quite a few of these guys are government agents, I mean they are paid by the government. These are so-called working-class guys and they're flying around the country, doing these demonstrations, well I'm just extremely suspicious. And it's well known, any group like that is going to be infiltrated by the F.B.I., so quite a few of their statements are intentionally provocative, they want to get on the news, and they want to be as outrageous as possible. For example one of their big demonstrations out here happened at a time when there was a lot of concern in the media about immigration, well they come out here, again it's a typical "guilt by association", these people are against immigration, therefore if you're opposed to immigration you're a "Nazi," as simple as that. That's the logic they're working on at a subliminal level. I think a lot of this is staged, a lot of it is work of agent provocateurs as we say, and some of them, quite a few of them are paid by the government.
- Professor Kevin MacDonald, January 2012 (beginning at 20:00 mark)
Today I noticed I had a lot of traffic to my blog from "neo-Nazi" ZionCrimeFactory's website, so I went to find out why, and hey ho, he's posted an entire article about me (the one cited above). Now, I don't get along with ZCF, I find his purported Hitler reverence, strapped to Holocaust denial (he's no Revisionist) and 9-11 Truth counter-productive. I can imagine the ADL gleefully linking to his site, announcing: "Here, proof that Deniers and 9-11 Truthers are neo-Nazis who want to kill all Jews. Free speech = hate speech."
ZCF is undoubtedly a talented writer, as a researcher, well, he's certainly bold. Here he "proves" that the Nazis persecuted the German branch of B'nai B'rith. His evidence is an article in Time magazine, whose publisher also brought us Life magazine, which ZCF could use to "prove" the Nazis planned to destroy Pittsburgh by harnessing the Sun's rays from their giant space-station! I've hundreds of newspaper article on my blog, but I don't claim American gruelpropaganda is concrete evidence of Nazi atrocities, as ZCF's expects his so-called "supporters" to accept. The more concrete "research" from ZCF is predominantly filched, generally without accreditation, and passed off as original research. There's a word for that, it's "plagiarism." Even in his short article on me, again and again and again he simply parrots what he has learned from my blog, but his own rudimentary knowledge can't help but expose itself:
After all, it was Britain — operating as International Jewry's most loyal servant and the Rothschilds' national bitch since the 1700′s"1700's"!? You sure about that ZCF? Seeing as a Rothschild didn't even step foot in Britain until 1797, and then just a cotton buyer.
I'd long since stopped visiting ZCF's site for unaccredited compendiums of other people work, maybe it was the highbrow series of emails I received from him a while back, about me being a Jew who fellates other Jews which prompted that, or maybe the fact he cowardly blocks all comments from me on his site. (I did delete just the one pathetic comment which I presume was from him recently [it was posted anonymously], but only after a day's notice that it would be deleted, and it was only due to the post it was on being far more important than usual. All his other comments are still present.) ZCF is clearly obsessed with my blog, and I mean in the precise clinical definition of the condition. Whole segments of his articles are C&P from my blog, dozens upon dozens of newspaper articles have been lifted from here, phrase after phrase he's suddenly echoing hours after I've posted on here. For example, in his article published today, he features two newspaper articles (A & B) which he learnt about from me. I pass on things I learn from other researchers all the time, I just don't simultaneously publish nonsense about them being undercover agents of International Jewry, and persistently make thinly veiled references to information they've published, supposedly debunked by a few petty insults and slurs.
ZCF is also a liar. No point in mincing words, he's a liar as well as a potty-mouthed plagiarist. He claims I paint Hitler as a "Rothschild-descendant" whereas I personally discovered the top-level Zionist origin of that disinformation. I'm anti-Nationalist he claims, which is news to me, but he doesn't even attempt to even back-up that accusation. My efforts are apparently to counter British shame for the "annihilating millions of German men, women and children, with firebombs from the sky." ZCF obviously just read my recent post on Dresden Holocaust denial, but unsurprisingly he doesn't know that 500 American B-17s were also involved in that war crime. ZCF may also be interested to learn that Churchill's mom was as American as
unshakeable support of Israelapple-pie, and I'm fairly certain F.D.R. and Dwight "I hate the Germans" Eisenhower weren't from this side of the pond either.
ZCF does not own, nor has he read any of Norman Finkelstein's books, probably not even read any of his articles available free on his website. But because he's a Jew, that's enough for ZCF to call him a "Jewish supremacist." Finkelstein's work in exposing ever increasing "Holocaust survivor" numbers and Zionist false claims about non-existent Swiss bank accounts, does far more to raise public awareness of the Ho£ocaust PLC, than online goosestepping and reading out posts from my blog on Hicksville radio shows, which ZCF clearly thinks is the way forward.
ZCF says I agree with the ADL's Abe Foxman on the Protocols of the Learned Elder's of Zion being a fraud. This is actually 100% true, no doubt Foxman and I also agree on the colour of the sky, and what 2 plus 2 equals. But on non-flat Earther issues, such as the the holes in Leichenkeller I's roof, I suspect me and Foxman differ greatly in opinion. ZCF will no doubt call the world's leading Revisionist Carlo Mattagno, who's spent 30 years ceaselessly exposing the fraudulent Ho£ocaust, "a Jewish shill" for he also wrote about the fraudulent Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. I look forward to the article from ZCF which finally proves the authenticity of the Protocols. But I'll no doubt be waiting some time. A reductio ad absurdum with a wheelbarrow of ad hominems shovelled in, will never build the foundations of any serious argument. But unfortunately for ZCF, that's all he'll ever have.
Caroline Yeager
Caroline Yeager, is a "Christian Identity" follower, they are neo-Nazis who believe that they, and not Jews, are the Chosen People in the Jewish Bible aka Old Testament. Bizarre! Takes all sorts I suppose. Anyway, Caroline did a segment (starting at 1:35 mark) on me in one of her recent radio broadcasts (which I learnt from ZCF's drivel). Caroline is upset that the Nazis collaborated with Zionists, and would like it to be just 1970's communist propaganda lies. Well, too bad, it's a fact. Or did they borrow Rudolp Hoess' time-machine to plant this story in the 1930s.
Yes Caroline I post a lot, most of my posts are very short. Nope, I've no staff, nor do I get paid for it, and I do link to your site actually. This was only the second of your shows I've heard. I very much enjoyed your interview of Robert Faurisson, who ZCF would no doubt call a "Jew shill", as he doesn't believe the Protocols are genuine either.
ZCF's claim is that I'm a secret Jew who's out to subliminally discredit Hitler and Nazism. Because Jews don't want to discredit Hitler and Nazism publicly I suppose! Oddly ZCF promotes two book by authors (Douglas Reed and Jüri Lina) on his site, who have both stated repeatedly that Hitler was a Jewish agent. ZCF would know this if he actually bothered reading their works.
Is ZCF a hasbara rat? He's certainly a "useful idiot." He promotes the Sabbatean myth that there is a direct link between Revisionism, 9/11 Truth and their, and ZCF's, comic book version of National Socialism, in which all Jews are all bad, and must all be killed. A mirrored image of sick Lurianic beliefs considered a divine instruction by supposed "Messenger to mankind" Elie Wiesel. Essentially ZCF is helping to link this with this. He also reviles anyone who points out the fact Nazis and Zionists collaborated, exactly like the media Jews discussed in this article do. Their motives for doing this are transparent. But what are the motives of ZCF for helping them? It is because of this ZionCrimeFactory seems a lot less neo-Nazi than he does bagel-Nazi.
Dearest ZCF
Thanks for propagating these lies, and helping us to brush aside genuine arguments as merely the views of "neo-Nazis."
Lots of luv, from big Abe and all your brethren at the ADL
Shalom Heil
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
The Black Rabbit of Inlé
As I suspected would be the case, Zion blocked the above comment left on his site, and has not mentioned, let alone linked to the above response to his article on me. But he has another cartoon of me, in a new article about the shocking revelation that Norman Finkelstein is not a Ho£ocaust denier.

Light duty can cut employers' costs in long run
While the recent coverage on the use of light duty by the city of Columbus pointed out issues (" Changes ordered in firefighters' light duty," Dispatch article, Thursday), it's important for businesses to know the use of light duty in transitioning an injured worker back onto the job can be effective for both the employee and business.
Keeping an employee on the job in some capacity while he recovers helps a person become an active participant in his own recovery. This improves his outcome and saves the employer money by reducing the overall cost of his workers' compensation claim.
The key is identifying the right type of work to accommodate the worker's restrictions and constantly monitoring his progress. Our focus at the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation is on accident prevention and quality care when injuries do occur. We know the longer an injured worker is off the job, the less likely it is that he or she will return.
Successful uses of light duty occur across Ohio each day and, carried out appropriately, these programs can be effective claims-management tools for employers that actually reduce costs in the long run. Businesses wanting to learn more can contact BWC at 1-800-OHIOBWC.

You Can't Wreck a Marriage if there isn't a Marriage There to be Wrecked: The Will They or Won't They Relationship of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
It is truly amazing to see how often life imitates art. In 2005, the world was treated to the action/relationship movie, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" that showed the relationship between a bored couple who have kept their careers as assassins secret from each other. However, once they are assigned to wipe out the other, the couple find, to their surprise, that their passion and love for each other are reignited. Although the story is preposterous, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" would be one of the most successful movies of the decade. With its witty mixture of violence and humor, much of the success of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" can be attributed to the out of the world chemistry between its two lead actors, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
Audiences around the world couldn't get enough of the intense chemistry between two people who are widely considered to be two of the most attractive people in the world. However, the success of the movie grew even more when reports surfaced that this preposterously beautiful on-screen couple were becoming a couple off-screen. The media swell became huge and news about "Brangelina" became some of the most sought after in the world.
Further adding spice to the media cocktail that was the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie relationship was the fact that Brad Pitt was already in a high profile celebrity marriage with Friends star, Jennifer Aniston. Although Jennifer Aniston is considered to be television royalty and was beginning a promising movie career, her celebrity status couldn't match Angelina Jolie's. With her undisputed status as one of the sexiest women of all time and her penchant for speaking her mind, Angelina Jolie is one of the most recognized celebrities around the world. While Jolie and Pitt would deny that their relationship began while Pitt was still married to Aniston, many people in the public are skeptical.
Whether or not Brad Pitt cheated on Jennifer Aniston with Angelina Jolie may be a subject to date but what isn't disputed now is that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are one of the most famous celebrity couples today. The two are well regarded for their commitments to humanitarian missions and for their penchant for adopting children from impoverished nations. Quickly becoming one of the more stable celebrity relationships in Hollywood today, it can be argued that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are the most famous celebrity couple today.
Of course the question now is whether these two bombshells are willing to take their relationship to the next level and take a trip down the aisle. While cynics may say that they won't get married due to the fact that their relationship likely caused the breakup of one celebrity marriage, you can never count these two unpredictable and likable Hollywood stars out. After all, they've already shocked the world once with their relationship. Maybe they'll do it again by embracing such a traditional ceremony as marriage.
Over the last decade, Brad Pitt has become ubiquitous as Hollywood royalty. Chosen by People Magazine twice as the Sexiest Man Alive, Brad Pitt's celebrity is an issue that nobody questions. After all, on top of his easy on the eyes appearance is an intensity that Pitt brings to his best acting roles. Quickly becoming one of the most likable actors of his generation due to his bold choices to act against type, it is easy to take Brad Pitt's success for granted. Take one look at Brad Pitt's biography and you will see that the real surprise is how Brad Pitt even got to where he is.
Born on December 18, 1963 in Shawnee, Oklahoma to high school counselor, Jane Etta Hillhouse, and William Alvin Pitt, who owns a trucking company, William Bradley Pitt showed little inclination that he wanted to be an actor. Raised in Springfield, Missouri, Brad Pitt shown an early interest in sports, debating, and student government. He would go the University of Missouri – Columbia campus where he was pursuing a journalism degree at the school's Missouri School of Journalism. With three credits left to go, Pitt would surprise the school's faculty and his friends at The Sigma Chi fraternity by leaving school and going to Hollywood with just $325 in his pocket. Although Pitt had acted in some fraternity shows, he didn't display any particular enthusiasm towards acting.
However, although Brad Pitt didn't show any career ambitions towards acting while he was in college, he would show his drive once he arrived in Hollywood. Pitt would study under acting coach Roy London for six years and would make various appearances on popular TV shows like "Head of the Class," "Growing Pains," "21 Jump Street," and the soap opera, "Another World."
In an industry rampant with overnight successes, Brad Pitt properly paid his dues by appearing in a series of B-movies. He appeared in the movie, "Cutting Class" about a cheerleader-stalking maniac and also in "Dark Side of the Sun," where he played a person struggling to find the remedy for a skin condition that he is afflicted in. He would also play a drug addict in the TV movie, "Too Young to Die," where he entered his first high profile romance with future Academy Award nominated actress, Juliette Lewis.
Brad Pitt would soon get his big break in his brief cameo in the feminist classic, "Thelma & Louise." Playing a small time criminal drifter that seduces Geena Davis' character, this role prominently displayed Brad Pitt's looks and would help bring attention to his potential as Hollywood's next big sex symbol. Pitt would attempt to fight against the perceptions of being another Hollywood pretty boy by starring as a scruffy serial killer with his girlfriend, Juliette Lewis, in the cult classic, "Kalifornia." His co-starring role as the moody vampire, Louis de Pointe du Lac, in the hit 1994 movie, "Interview with a Vampire" would catapult Brad Pitt up to Hollywood's A List.
His later starring roles in such enduring movies as "Se7en," "12 Monkeys," "Fight Club," and "Troy" would offset his starring role in commercial failures like, "The Devil's Own," "Meet Joe Black," "The Mexican," and "Seven Years in Tibet." With his affable personality, bold acting choices, and his easygoing nature, Brad Pitt's ascension to Hollywood royalty has been relatively scandal free. His co-starring role in "Oceans Eleven" with fellow Hollywood superstars George Clooney, Matt Damon, and Julia Roberts cemented his international celebrity status.
However, another reason why Brad Pitt has managed to become an international icon has much to do with the great romances of his life. After his breakup to Juliette Lewis, Brad Pitt would get engaged with his "Se7en" co-star, Gwyneth Paltrow. This relationship would not lead into a celebrity marriage but Pitt's next high profile relationship would. In 1998, Brad Pitt would meet Friends star Jennifer Aniston and the two would date for a couple of years before getting married on July 29, 2000. A couple that valued its privacy, their wedding was kept a major secret, and the Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston relationship was viewed as one of the biggest celebrity marriages of its time. However, by 2005, the two would eventually separate and divorce. Almost right away, photos showing Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie together were released and Brangelina was born as a major media phenomenon.
Unlike her future partner, Angelina Jolie seemed destined to become a famous actress. The daughter of respected actor and star of Midnight Cowboy, Jon Voight, and actress, Marchline Bertrand, Angelina Jolie Voight was born on June 4, 1975 in Los Angeles, California. Her parents would separate a year later and Jolie and her brother would move to Palisades, New York where their mother would raise them. An eccentric child who collected snakes and lizards, Angelina Jolie would attend the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute at the age of 11, when her mother would move the family back to Los Angeles.
Despite her status as one of the world's most beautiful women, Angelina Jolie had to overcome a number of troubles when she was in high school. Due to the fact that she was extremely thin, wore glasses and braces, and came from a more modest income than her fellow classmates at Beverly Hills High School, Jolie was often teased. Although Jolie would begin a modeling career at an early age, she never found real success in that field. This increased alienation led to Jolie doing strange things such as cutting herself as a way to feel alive by feeling pain. Her reigning status as one of Hollywood's baddest girls due to her frank declaration of being bisexual and for her large number of tattoos can be traced back to this tough time in Jolie's life.
Although Jolie briefly worked as a model during her teenage years and appeared in a number of music videos, she would make her professional debut as an actress in the 1993 low budget horror movie, "Cyborg 2." Starring as a near-human robot that is designed to exploit her sexuality as a way to enter a rival manufacturer's headquarters in a kamikaze mission, it would be safe to say that Jolie's career had an inauspicious start. She would gain some attention in the cult 1995 movie, "Hackers." While Angelina Jolie would win an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1999 for her role in "Girl, Interrupted," and has made many box office hits like, "Tomb Raider" and "The Bone Collector," the truth of the matter is that Jolie has not had a particularly distinguished movie career. Although she is rightly praised for the intensity that she brings to certain roles, Angelina Jolie is arguably more famous for being famous.
Much like Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie catapulted into the public attention due to her incredibly good looks. While her recent selection as the greatest sex symbol of all time by the show, The 100 Greatest Sex Symbols, might be overstating her case just a bit, it was Jolie's mixture of Hollywood beauty and her wild girl behavior that made her one of the most popular tabloid celebrities just a few years ago. A woman that would wear a vial of her second husband, Billy Bob Thornton's blood around her neck and who many people suspected had an incestuous relationship with her brother James Haven is always going to be one of the most fascinating celebrities out there.
However, just a few years ago, Angelina Jolie's public reputation took a drastic overhaul. In one sweep swoop, Angelina Jolie would go from Hollywood's resident wild child to United Nations Goodwill Ambassador. Following the adoption of her son, Maddox, Angelina Jolie would use her consider celebrity clout to bring attention to humanitarian causes throughout the world. She played a prominent role in promoting World Refugee Day 2006 and has visited many refugee camps throughout the world since her relationship with the United Nations began in 2001. Her humanitarian work has been widely praised and she was awarded the Global Humanitarian Award on October 12, 2005 by the UNA-USA and the Citizen of the World Award on October 24, 2003 by the United Nations Correspondents Association.
This commitment to international humanitarian causes and to the development of her own family has steered Angelina Jolie's attention away from Hollywood. Although her 2005 movie with Brad Pitt, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" would be the biggest hit of her career, Jolie has been very selective in choosing film roles that would take up too much of her time. Her use of celebrity to endorse humanitarian causes can be seen in her decision to sell the first photo of her visibly pregnant condition to People magazine in exchange for a donation to a Haitian based charity is indicative of where Angelina Jolie's heart is these days.
Perhaps it is this selfless commitment to others that attracted Brad Pitt to Angelina Jolie. Either that or it was Jolie's near perfect body. Whatever the reason, the budding celebrity relationship between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie became one of the biggest media stories of 2005. Rather than protesting against the media for intruding their privacy, Pitt and Jolie seemed to have much fun playing coy in the face of rampant media speculation. The two even appeared in a photo shoot for W Magazine that saturated marriage roles in the 1960s.
However, the intense media scrutiny continues to follow Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Photos showing Brad Pitt with Angelina Jolie and her son, Maddox, in exotic locations started to appear in newspapers with more frequency. The relationship was viewed as being more serious once news leaked out that Brad Pitt was present when Angelina Jolie adopted her second child, Zahara. On January 19, 2006, Pitt would legally adopt Jolie's two children and the children's surnames would become Jolie-Pitt.
It was around this time that people became aware that the Jolie-Pitt family would be increasing by one, as Angelina Jolie was pregnant with Brad Pitt's child. The resulting media storm resulted in the Brangelina decision to have their child born in Namibia where they would be able to avoid the media attention. This slick celebrity couple may not have marriage plans in their future but the two are tied together forever due to their parental duties to Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt, Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt. Recent reports have surfaced that these two beautiful parents are looking to increase the Jolie-Pitt brood by adopting a child from Vietnam. Who knows, by the time you finish reading this article, you may also have been chosen to become the latest member of Team Jolie-Pitt!

We read the hundreds of entries to our 16th birthday contest, and after voting, much hemming & hawing, tonight we finally informed the winners.
So without further ado, we present….the winning "words of wisdom" in honor of our 16th birthday!
1st Place – James B. - winner of trip around the world, to one source of our globally inspired burritos
Sixteen is a great age, you've grown, you've matured, and you're ready for anything. You have the most (Mango) Passion for Life (is Good) that I have ever seen. During The Summer, you gave back during a (Berry) Blitz of free Minis from Buffalo to Memphis (BBQ) to support good causes. I'm sure some people have told you that you are absolutely Nutella for being so giving, but your fans think that it was a very Classic (Mexican) thing to do! While most people sit in their beach chairs on Cape Codder, the inventive Boloco crew is busy going Strawbanas coming up with new ways to satisfy all of our cravings. Who knew that Bangkok Thai or Teryaki stir fry would be great in a burrito? You, that's who. During snow storms that not even Jimmy Carter himself would go out in, the brave Boloco employees had some big Huevos Rancheros to open up shop and be available to those in the neighborhood. And who can forget the time that you went to Twitter to catch those robbers! Twitter helped you figure out that they were not Cajun nor Mediterranean or even the Cookie Monster, but they did help you with lots of tips. Bostonians love you Boloco, and whether you were at a Truck Stop or only served Spicy BLTs, we would be there to party on and do your Cake Shake with you across the country.
Remember to always be you, because who you are is AWESOME. So raise your glass of Soy Berry and cheers to you Boloco, Happy 16th!
2nd Place - Paul L. - winner of trip to San Francisco, one of the sources of inspiration for our founders
Continue to be BOld, continue to be LOyal and continue to COnscious of our beautiful little world. We hope the next 16 years are as sweet as the first!
3rd Place – Sarah H. - winner of free burritos for a year
Judge a man (or woman) not by their clothes but by the kind of burrito they eat.
Runners up (all won $100 to boloco each) – and of course, we felt the need to assign a category to each of these winners:
Most Fanatical Guest – David M.
You should never refuse a woman who asks you to buy her a burrito. She'll fall in love, and you'll get the Boloco points!
Most Indisputable Logic – Steve J.
Sometimes a little burrito spills on your lap. Just remember that it was made with a lot of love and there's nothing wrong with love in your lap.
Best "never take yourself too seriously" – Valerie H.
Remember, my young Boloco, after doing your Cake Shake, some Mediterranean girls might want to Goloco with you. Now, I know your dance is not Original, but it is The Summer and after having a Classic Mexican margarita, she is going to want your Mango Passion. But don't think this Mediterranean is going to be a Berry Blitz, she is not some girl you just met at a Truck Stop. She is going to want you to take her to Cape Codder, Buffalo, and Memphis (for) BBQ. But you're not Jimmy Carter, how will you pull it off? Don't go Nutella and turn into a Cookie Monster, you have Huevos Chorizo, you can do it! Just use your Spicy BLT attitude and your southern Cajun charm and say the magic words, "Chopped Sesame" and her Fajita Vegetables will be yours. The Tikka Masala, The Teriyaki, you kids have all sort of names for these things today! But once you have her Soy Berry, just go Guacamole! For Safety, when you Bangkok Thai, don't go Strawbanas, you're not julius Caesar, always keep it Wrapped up! Happy Sweet 16 Boloco!!
Best Rhyme – Samantha G.
It's your 16th birthday, and it's extra sweet
For you give us the very best burritos to eat
Your tasty, unique flavors keep us coming back for more
Even plain old classic ones are so far from a bore
The best part of my summer is your Jimmy Carter Shake
It brings me happiness that's just impossible to fake
Peanut butter and banana are the perfect pair
I fear someday I'll show up and that shake will not be there
What I like most about you is you care about the Earth
And you've been doing nice things for the planet since your birth
It feels good to support a brand that's mastered such great taste
But also cares enough to make sure nothing goes to waste
So my advice to you is to keep doing what you've done
'Cuz I know I am not the only diehard fan you've won
Enjoy your teenage years but know that great ones lie ahead
And keep your breakfast burrito (it's the reason I leave bed).
Favorite Food Rocks – Andrew G.
The secret to life is finding what you love....and wrapping it up in a burrito.
Best Environ-mentality – Riley B.
"Going Greener"
Its sweeping 'cross the planet,
The trend is going green,
To think before you can it,
To keep our planet clean,
Boloco is a master,
At saving our fair earth,
Just tossing trash is faster,
But less in moral worth,
So verdant in your waste bins,
So now I'd love to see,
Some greener menu items,
A shake made with green tea,
A kale and kiwi smoothie,
A spinach flavored wrap,
The color's so appealing,
Ask a Venus fly trap,
Trees, and grass, and money,
Lots of veggies too,
Green is fresh and funny,
Boloco, so are you!
Best all-around advice – William L.
Sixteen, huh? You're old enough to drive now, Boloco, and drive you will. You may be the "BOston LOcal COmpany," but you're headed somewhere bigger. When I was sixteen, I was working to keep my grades up, worrying about gossip, and trying to win over my high school crush. Between balance sheets, Yelp reviews, and customers, it seems like you're concerned about the same kinds of things. That's understandable. But let me offer you a piece of wisdom, Boloco: you will grow up fast. So, enjoy your youth. Don't be afraid to experiment. Follow your passions. Don't be ashamed of being enthusiastic. Don't apologize for being different. And most importantly, have fun. Take chances. You're going to face big challenges, and I know you're going to do just great. You know how to make others happy. You're generous and friendly. You have the right values. The old guard may do things differently, but that's not because their way is better. Go ahead and show the world what makes you special. Pickled onions, cole slaw, and peanut sauce on a burrito? Go loco. A chocolate chip cookie in a smoothie? Why not! You shake things up. The world needs that. So stay tasty, Boloco. Stay fresh. And happy sweet sixteen.
Best Video Submission (and, only video submission, for that matter) – Chris P.
My advice is for you to watch a video I made in honor of Boloco. Go to Youtube and search "dear Boloco/ill wisdom". Happy Birthday!!!!
Most engaged & generous neighbor – Sean M.
Boloco, you're growing so quickly. In the blink of an eye 16 glorious years have passed. You're probably one of the best-traveled/globally minded 16 year olds out there. You throw awesome parties on a regular basis, and you have a ton of friends who want to hang out and visit you every day. It's an enviable position to be in at any age, but you don't let it go to your head. Think about how much you've given back. You partner with your friends to raise thousands of dollars for charity, and on top of that you treat your friends with such generosity. My advice to you is simple. Don't forget about what got you to where you are today. As you continue to grow, focus on what's made you successful up and to this point. You've built up a great customer base by providing us with quality food at a great value. Your family is warm, energetic, and always willing to go the extra mile to make us feel special, so keep on recruiting the best talent. And you treat all of your friends with so much respect. The rapport you've built with us is very unique, and maintaining that level of intimacy as you continue to expand will make sure you grow to be healthy & strong. So my advice is simply to keep up the great work!!
Most appealingly off-center – Gwen M.
Sweet Sixteen! Oh how sweet it is. Here is some advice for you:
Keep up the good work.
Don't look a gift buffalo in the mouth.
A rolling stone gathers no teriyaki.
The early bird catches the cajun.
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw memphis bbqs.
Walk softly and carry a big classic mexican.
Tikka masala doesn't grow on trees.
The bangkok thai is mightier than the sword.
Enjoy the summer of your 16th year!
Most Human – Ryan F.
Life is a burrito: a mixture of unique and wonderful experiences, amazing people, and flavorful ideas, all wrapped up in a tortilla of love. Every day is a chance to peel back the foil and take another bite. When you're done, everything left gets recycled.
Best classic rhyme-turned-Boloco – Erin T.
and all through the East Coast,
Very Important Burrito Eaters
were submitting their posts.
Words of Wisdom or some advice was boloco's request.
There's not much to improve - globally inspired burritos are the BEST.
With sixteen years under your belt, and many more on the way;
Heck, you could enjoy a different burrito each day!
Like a Buffalo, The Summer, Memphis BBQ or Cajun;
Tikka Masala, or The Caesar - How 'bout a Mediterranean!
With great service galore, and a nifty website,
What tips to give a company that just gets things right?
One suggestion - or two - if I may,
ground beef for burritos, and a T.V. ad - Whaddya say?
These ideas are simply my advice to you...
but please, boloco, just keep doing what you do!!
Most 100% honest (and 100% serious) – Ryan S.
I personally believe that our most basic desire as humans, the thing that gives us the purest and most simple pleasure, are positive relationships with other people. When people care about others and open themselves up to understanding, both sides truly win. Boloco has a chance to do the same thing as a company. You can be a positive influence in peoples' lives. You can have a company culture that embraces doing things the right way, and having positive relationships and being honest with your employees and customers. When someone is lying on their deathbed, what truly gives them contentment and peace and fulfillment is looking at their life and knowing that they made a difference in peoples' lives. That they cared, they shared, they understood, and they loved. Understanding that they have no regrets in this path of meaning that they chose. Boloco has the chance to choose that same path as a company, to have no regrets on the path that was chosen. In full disclosure, I feel that Boloco does a pretty good job keeping these values close to its heart on a day-to-day basis. Consider this a reminder, and a friendly challenge to a company I respect, to put what is truly important to us as people first. I think it will pay off in the end.
So with that, we wrap up our 16th birthday contest. Thank you for entering, reading, and please keep sharing your words of wisdom with us. After all, we're still in our adolescent years and we need all the advice we can get!

Minnesota is preparing to give victims, historians and engineers a chance to claim some of the crumpled steel from the deadly 2007 collapse of the Interstate 35W bridge before the rest is sold for scrap.
Aug. 1 will mark the six-year anniversary of when the bridge buckled and fell into the Mississippi River during evening rush hour in Minneapolis, killing 13 people and injuring 145 others.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation had to store the steel beams and plates until all the legal claims could be resolved.
The Minnesota House is poised to vote Monday on a bill to give the department months to parcel out free pieces to victims' families, collapse survivors, the state historical society and others. The bill also awaits Senate action.

Love this Ed. Well spotted. Great convergence of light and dark, organic shapes and linear manmade lines too. A good choice to b&w it too. The gleaming skylight is a real 'gem' – but that elephant rumbling in from the top left in a perfect diagonal from it is just inspired, gives the impression of this whole sky charging like an angry bull tusker. You have a great eye for wrestling order from the chaos of the ordinary (which in this case is a good bit less ordinary than the norm). Good stuff.

I think you should just be able to plug f_alpha into the definition of the Riemann integral and verify that it reduces to the integral of f (with the limits of integration modified). Did you try that yet?
I just need someone to help me get started with this.
Let f:[a,b] -> R (reals) be Riemann Integrable over [a,b] and let alpha be in the real numbers. Define f_alpha : [a + alpha, b + alpha] -> R (reals) by
f_alpha = f(x-alpha). Show that f_alpha is Riemann Integrable and Riemann Integrable of f_alpha(x) dx from a+alpha to b+alpha is equal to the Riemann Integral of f(x) dx from a to b.
Sorry about how it looks...not really sure how to put in all the fancy symbols. There are three ways so far that I can start using, but I'm not really sure on how to actually use them. So, I can use the definition of Riemann Integrable outright, I could use the definition of the Riemann Condition, or I could try to prove it is Darboux Integral and from the Equivalence Theorem it would be Riemann Integrable. But I have no idea how to start. Any help would be awesome.
I think the first thing we have to do is prove that f_alpha is Riemann Integrable to begin with. To prove this (from what was taught) involves epsilons. I was thinking about assuming that f_alpha is Riemann Integrable and work on the second part of the proof using Liebnitz's Rule, but then again I am not sure.
