With restored second generation Corvettes being highly desirable collectables in factory-correct condition, it takes quite a bit of nerve to pull the gloves off and 'frankenstein' a killer pro-tourer. But, as you'll see, the results are definitely worth the six-figures it required to finish this amazing car, as few C2s possess its combination of sheer performance and classic style. Ready for a first class build that combines everything great about the storied Sting Ray with technology that's more akin to a modern Z06? Then check out the car they call 'ZRay'!
Sealed in brilliant PPG Atomic Orange two-stage, this slick Corvette pro-tourer is the beneficiary of an extensive, ground-up restoration that was completed by Classic Car Garage in Greenville, Michigan. In addition to better-than-factory alignment, the car's body features super sinuous appeal thanks to GTS Customs quarters that flare one inch over stock. That body's combination of form, fit and flash was reinforced by fully shaved emblems and high-gloss clear which, during the finishing phase, was sanded to a wet-look shine. And today, this striking Sting Ray rolls as one of the finest classics in our 225 car showroom!
The greatest thing about building a pro-touring C2 is: the aggressive look most enthusiasts strive for is pretty much standard factory fare. At the front of this fully-sorted coupe, a stainless, body-width grille is caged behind chrome-trimmed parking lamps and a traditional 'razor blade' bumper. Above that grille, a '66-exclusive, big block hood features bright stainless heat extractors. Behind that hood, mirrored wipers, fresh stainless trim and a chrome bowtie mirror shape smoked greenhouse glass. Below that glass, C6 Z06-style side scoops ride between chrome door handles, Z06 fender scripts and 3-inch Sweet Thunder side pipes. And behind those pipes, a modified decklid hangs a classy fuel filler and small power antenna above traditional tail lamps and two more 'razor blade' bumpers.
Like its Atomic Orange paint, this Corvette's engine highlights classic Chevy design with a virtual lifetime of technological improvement. Twisting 505 SAE-certified horsepower into a massive 470 lb./ft. of tire-shredding torque, the lightweight LS7 rumbling beneath the car's hood is a 21st century testament to the bowtie division's enduring small block V8. Founded in GM's very successful Corvette racing program, the brutal mill utilizes a forged crank, titanium rods and hypereutectic pistons to flat out whip pretty much anything with four wheels. A perfect amount of oxygen flows from reusable K&N filter elements through a chrome, twin-flow air tube to a familiar GM throttle body. That wind mixes with fuel in a professionally-painted intake and progresses to CNC-ported cylinder heads that are built with lightweight titanium valves. Immediately following combustion, spent gases roar through the aforementioned side pipes via modified and Ceramakrome-coated exhaust manifolds. Charge comes courtesy of a chrome alternator that, like the car's chrome AC compressor, spins on a high quality March accessory drive. Drive-by-wire communication is facilitated by a Street & Performance computer harness. Items like a DeWitts aluminum radiator, custom dry-sump lubrication, Taylor Thundervolt plug wires and SPAL electric puller fans ensure rocket-like acceleration. And Billet Specialties coil covers, a Wilwood master cylinder, stainless AN fluid lines and custom billet fuel rail covers enhance traditionally conservative aesthetics.
We've said it time and time again, and the old adage still proves true. A pro-tourer simply isn't an authentic pro-tourer unless its significant power enhancements are augmented by significant chassis hardware. That's the only way 100% of the car's performance potential will ever be realized. This Vette's spry LS7 is, first and foremost, augmented by a powdercoated SRIII Motorsports tube chassis that's much more rigid than vintage factory fodder. At the center of that chassis, a fresh Tremec TKO600 5-speed makes good use of carbon fiber synchros, a hydraulic throwout bearing and a modern Z06 clutch. When that clutch grabs, a custom aluminum driveshaft jerks a 1.5-inch narrowed Dana 44 that's seated in a powdercoated fourth generation Corvette suspension and adjustable QA1 coil-overs. Turns come courtesy of modern power rack-and-pinion steering. Smooth and solid stops are provided by a HydraBoosted brake system that squeezes C5 front calipers, and C4 rear calipers, around drilled and slotted EradiSpeed rotors. Power flows through mirrored C6 Z06 wheels, which spin 245/45R17 Firestone Firehawk Wide Ovals in front of 275/40R18 Firestone Firehawk Wide Ovals. And everything, from this Corvette's custom sway bars and color-keyed undercoating to its Rock Valley fuel tank and Walbro fuel pump, is expertly finished, superbly detailed and ready for action.
Behind the car's lightweight doors, a Cadillac Cocoa ultraleather interior rides on proven Lizard Skin sound control. Seating comes courtesy of heated, power-adjusted sixth generation Corvette buckets which are anchored in professionally lowered boxes. From the driver's perch, an ultraleather-wrapped dash hangs Dakota Digital VHX gauges next to Bluetooth capable, Sirius XM-compatible audio and Dakota Digital controls for a Vintage Air climate system. Beneath that dash, Cadillac Cocoa carpet frames a cup holder-equipped console that's complete with a traditional shifter and small power window switches. Opposite that console, ultraleather side panels hang traditional door handles and billet window cranks in front of fob-activated door locks. Above those panels, a custom ultraleather headliner frames color-keyed sun visors. In front of the driver, a polished and leather-wrapped steering wheel spins a brilliant cross-flag emblem around modern cruise control and a convenient, tilting column. And a custom upholstered storage compartment hides an Alpine 4-channel amp and large Rockford Fosgate speakers behind enough room for two suitcases and a bag of detailing supplies.
The sale of this crisp Chevy includes a detailed specs sheet and a large binder of receipts and component manuals.
This professionally restored Vette is the kind of car that runs hard and wins trophies. Everyone loves second generation Sting Rays, but some are A LOT nicer than others. If you've been searching for an awesome C2 to enjoy for years to come, you're looking at your next classic!

ITV has launched its first such service on Freeview, ITV Play, hoping to cash in on a growing phenomenon.
Viewers dial a premium-rate number to play for big cash prizes, but ITV insists it is acting responsibly.
A Treasury spokesman said it would consider if such shows should adopt the same rules as other types of gambling.
Coronation Street competition
ITV Play features a quiz inspired by Coronation Street's Rovers Return, and another based on the Friends Reunited website, which is now owned by ITV.
There are approximately 15 dedicated quiz channels on digital TV, including Channel 4-owned Quiz Call.
ITV1 has already featured the programme Quizmania during its night-time schedule, while other broadcasters include interactive quizzes as part of their programming.
ITV Play will be ITV's first channel without any commercials - revenue comes from viewers' calls and text messages.
The move is expected to make up for a decline in advertising revenue.
No guarantee
Prize money is often high, while there is no guarantee that a caller will get through to the host of one of the shows.
A number of complaints about premium rate telephone numbers have been lodged specifically about quiz programmes.
In January, premium rate line regulator Ictis issued a code of practice to broadcasters requiring greater transparency in displaying the price of a call, the terms and conditions, plus contact details for the competition operator.
Media watchdog Ofcom said such channels were tightly policed.
Director of standards Chris Banatvala told BBC Radio Five Live: "People must tell the viewer how much the call is going to cost. If there are significant terms and conditions, those must be aired regularly.
"The competitions must be run fairly. You shouldn't mislead the viewers and say something is easy when in fact it is difficult. It's those sort of rules and guidelines we've put in place to make sure the viewer is protected."
Monitoring of callers
ITV has said it has the ability to warn viewers if they are spending considerable sums on its quizzes.
"If someone makes 20 calls, then a message will be relayed down the telephone telling them how many times they have rung," a spokesperson said.
"Obviously, it is constantly on the screen that calls cost 60p a minute. We also have a customer service person who will be tracking the calls.
"People do not have to call, it is a free country, but we have evidence with programmes like The X Factor that it is clear that people like to interact with TV."
ITV Play was launched on Freeview on Wednesday, and will appear on satellite and cable services later this year.

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hairdresser turned tycoon and Birmingham City club owner Carson Yeung was released on HK$7 million (558,000 pounds) bail after being charged with money laundering by a Hong Kong court on Thursday.
The 51-year-old owns the club through the Hong Kong-listed Birmingham International and was charged with "dealing with property known or believed to represent proceeds of indictable offences" totalling about HK$721 million, the Hong Kong magistrate court said.
The trial was adjourned until August 11.
"All they're saying is that he (Yeung) has got a lot of money, and he hasn't paid a lot of tax," Yeung's lawyer Daniel Marash told reporters after bail was granted.
"I mean there's lots of money in my bank account, not as much as his, but I don't pay taxes because it's not taxable."
The prosecution had argued that Yeung did not have close ties to Hong Kong, and should not be granted bail because his father had lived in mainland China since 2008 and Yeung was also married to a woman from there.
Decked in a black jacket and a peach shirt, Yeung remained silent throughout proceedings in the packed courtroom except to ask if he could report at an alternative police station during bail. He was also told to surrender his travel documents.
Shares of Birmingham International, the Championship club's parent company, which has a market value of HK$550 million, were suspended on Thursday.
The company declined to comment but Yeung's lawyer said in court that trade may resume after he was released.
Yeung took over Birmingham City in October 2009, soon after they were promoted back to the Premier League after a season in the Championship.
Birmingham beat Arsenal to win the League Cup in February, the club's first major trophy since 1963, to qualify for next season's Europa League competition, but were relegated on the last day of the season following a late loss of form.

Barack Obama's interview with Anderson Cooper on Wednesday night's "Anderson Cooper 360" on CNN was quite gentle. While Cooper did press Obama to address some of the criticisms that have erupted over his pastor Jeremiah Wright, he did not press him about Wright's criticism of white people, or his claims of the government giving blacks AIDS, only one (truncated) 9/11 passage. Cooper used ten-foot-pole language about those people who would be alarmed by Wright's America-bashing remarks: "Patriotism is going to be used by whoever it is you are facing." Used? Have you ever noticed how the media never asks if America is being "used" by leaders who spit on America?
Obama was spinning furiously.
I never heard anything nasty about America.
COOPER: In the past, you said you didn't think that your church was particularly controversial. Yesterday, in the speech, you said that -- you admitted that you did hear in the church remarks that could be considered controversial. Do you know specifically? Do you remember what you heard?
OBAMA: No. But let me give you examples. It didn't necessarily relate to some of the statements that have caused such controversy over the last few days. Reverend Wright, on occasion, for example, would talk about infidelity or issues having to do with family life in pretty blunt terms from the pulpit. And people would blush and blanch. So, it wasn't just related to his political views. He had a blunt style. And so there are -- no doubt that there were times where he might have said something that I didn't agree with politically. As I said before, I had never heard him say things that were as incendiary as the clips that have been shown.
Why fuss? He was retiring. Who picks on a retiree?
COOPER: Perhaps more incendiary of all, Reverend Wright's comments just days after 9/11 blaming the attacks on U.S. policy.
WRIGHT: Because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back into our own front yard. America's chickens are coming home to roost. [That's a very minimal clip.]
COOPER: His conversations regarding 9/11, which you said you were not there for...
OBAMA: That, I was not aware of.
COOPER: Right, but was made aware of, I guess, a year ago, when you were running, did you -- have you talked to him about that?
OBAMA: Well, you know, I told him that I profoundly disagreed with his positions. As I said before, he was on -- at that stage, on the verge of retirement. And you -- you know, you make decisions about these issues. And my belief was that, given that he was about to retire, that for me to make a political statement respecting my church at that time wasn't necessary.
Black Patriotism vs. White Patriotism?
COOPER: Even if the controversy dies down in the coming days, in a general election, if Obama is still in the race, it's likely we will hear more of Reverend Wright's most outrageous sermons. (on camera): In a general election, though, patriotism is going to come up. I mean, in a general election, patriotism is going to be used by whoever it is who you are facing.
OBAMA: And it would have been -- it would have been used -- it would have been used anyway.
COOPER: But they certainly have more fodder now, and they're going to use the Reverend Wright. They're going to use the comments made by your wife about the United States, about you not wearing a flag pin. Do you define patriotism differently than, say, John McCain? Do African-Americans define patriotism differently than white America?
OBAMA: I don't think so. But what I do think is that we have come to use patriotism as a cudgel in politics. And I think that, oftentimes, it's spoken about in ways that don't get to what I think is the core of patriotism, which is, you know, are we caring for each other? Are we upholding the values of our founders? Are we willing to sacrifice on behalf of future generations?
COOPER: Do you think what Reverend Wright said was unpatriotic or un-American?
OBAMA: I absolutely think that some of the language was unpatriotic. And I think that, as I said yesterday, his biggest failure was not to criticize America, because I think there's always been a tradition of patriotism through dissent. I mean, Dr. King criticized America. But I think that his failure was to think that America was static, all right? And, you know, when Dr. King criticized America, it was then with the prospect that we would be true to our best selves. And that, I think, is the essence of my patriotism, the belief that America is constantly changing and constantly improving, and we will never be perfect, but we can -- we can move in the direction of perfecting our union. And that is the reason I'm in public service.
Cooper ended this part of his taped interview by striking his own no-judgment-here tone, that "some" have suggested Obama has spinning, but he won't acknowledge that obvious point: "Well, there's little doubt that Senator Obama's statements on the Wright affair have evolved since this controversy began. Some have interpreted that as spin. Others say it is simply due to the painful personal nature of this with the Obamas. We can only say that you should judge for yourselves."
Cooper then turned to pundits, and former Clinton flack Dee Dee Myers said patriotism is a trite and silly issue, but Obama has a problem: "I do think that we see the beginning of the pieces of what the Republicans will do, putting together all those elements, Michelle Obama's statements, the fact that he didn't wear a flag pin, the fact that he didn't -- once didn't put his hand over his heart when he was saying the pledge. All those things, on one level, seem sort of trite and almost silly as issues in a presidential election. But, when you put them all together, I think it's a troubling situation for Senator Obama."
Later, Cooper ran a second snippet of interview, and the tone grew even softer, a more typical case of Obama buddy-chat, with those annoying campaign-trail sympathy questions about how does the candidate relax:
COOPER: Do you think it's been too much of a distraction, this whole controversy?
OBAMA: Well, you know, my sense is, is that, sooner or later, it was going to come up. I wish it could have come up in a more calmer way. I think it, nevertheless, serves a purpose. And, hopefully, the American people will benefit from the debate.
COOPER (voice-over): A debate on race is a complicated one for a senator who says he never wanted to make race front and center in his campaign. Now he's working to make sure it doesn't eclipse everything else. The themes are familiar: change, Iraq, the economy. But perhaps the biggest applause he receives is when he mentions his speech on race. Afterwards, we speak with him backstage.
COOPER (on camera): Earlier today, you said you weren't sure, demographically, how your speech yesterday is going to play. What is your gut telling you? Out there, you were talking about it. It got a lot of applause. What's your gut telling you, more than 24 hours now, later?
OBAMA: My gut tells me that the people who were not going to be voting for me are not going to be voting for me after this speech and, even if they think I made some good points, there are other reasons why they're not going to vote for me. They think we should be staying in Iraq, or they think that I haven't been in Washington long enough. I think the people who are supporting me are continuing to support me.
COOPER: At the end of a day like this, what do you do? How do you decompress?
OBAMA: Well, you know, I'm really going to have a relaxing evening, going to a couple of fundraisers. And then I fall asleep. Although, I try to watch AC 360 all the time.
COOPER, sounding both embarrassed and pleased: Please. I don't need your sympathy. I don't want your pandering.
If Obama doesn't use watching Anderson Cooper as a way to "decompress," he could certainly see an Anderson Cooper interview was more of a relaxation exercise than a tense tap-dance.

Ensign Maddy Calloway was a female Human medical technician who served aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D).
She was born on Meezan IV in 2343 to Colleen Calloway and Thomas Calloway. She had a sister, Danielle Calloway. (ST video game: Starship Creator)
The year 2366 saw Calloway serve as a volunteer for six months with San Francisco Emergency Medical Services. The following year, she worked an emergency medicine rotation at San Francisco's Mercy Hospital. Calloway attended Starfleet Academy, graduating in 2367 in the 94th percentile. (ST video game: Starship Creator)
Calloway became a medical technician aboard the USS Exeter. She participated in the rescue of colonists from Angkor III in the 2368, receiving a commendation for her knowledge of Klingon customs. (ST video game: Starship Creator)
At some point, Calloway asked for a transfer to the Enterprise. (ST video game: Starship Creator)
- Starship Creator states that the transfer to the Enterprise occurred in 2369.
In 2368, she met Daniel Kwan, a fellow Enterprise crewmember. (TNG episode: "Eye of the Beholder")
By 2370, the two were romantically involved. Kwan joked that Calloway "wouldn't be able to get away with anything" around his mother, who was a telepathic Napean. The last time Calloway saw Kwan, they were planning an upcoming shore leave together. Two nights later, Kwan committed suicide, influenced by an empathic vision he experienced on the Enterprise. Calloway urged Counselor Deanna Troi to find out what happened. Deom 2370-2371, she was a supervisor of the emergency trauma team during second shift. (TNG episode: "Eye of the Beholder", ST video game: Starship Creator)
Calloway received a promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade, based on Doctor Beverly Crusher's recommendation, in mid-2371. The same year, she coordinated medical teams in the aftermath of the Enterprise's destruction at Veridian III. (ST video game: Starship Creator)
The next year, she passed the medical board exams and earned a promotion to full Lieutenant. In mid-2372, she became a resident physician and transferred to the USS Enterprise. During the Battle of Sector 001, she served with distinction and assisted in Sickbay's evacuation. (ST video game: Starship Creator)
- Starship Creator has a contradiction - the software's summary section states that the last ship she served on was the Enterprise-D, but her biography discusses her time serving aboard the Enterprise-E.
Calloway's interests included alien psychology, Klingon folklore and Napean art. (ST video game: Starship Creator)
- Ensign Calloway was portrayed by Johanna McCloy.
Alternate versionEdit
In an empathic vision experienced by Deanna Troi, Calloway became romantically involved with Worf. Troi, jealous of Calloway, tried to kill her, but accidentally shot Worf instead. (TNG episode: "Eye of the Beholder")

Locks of Love
It seems that locks aren't just simply used to keep property secure from theft and vandalism any more. For decades now a custom has slowly been creeping across the world whereby loving, romantic, and sometimes superstitious couples have decided to write messages on padlocks, attach them to certain landmarks in specific areas - more often than not railings and fences - and then throw away the key. The practice, as well as symbolising a couple's unending love for each other, is in some countries thought to bring good luck to a relationship.
Below are some amazing examples.
Pecs, Hungary

Above: The famous lock fence of Pécs in Hungary, where the practice is thought to have begun, in Europe at least, back in the 1980s. Area officials were quickly forced to designate this particular spot 'love lock friendly' in a bid to curb the rampant placement of lock in other areas when the trend took off.
Moscow, Russia

Above: The unique love lock trees of Moscow, found on the city's Luzhkov Bridge. The majority of these locks are placed by newlyweds, as the practice is thought to bring good luck.
Seoul, South Korea

Above: Literally thousands of lovers' locks can be seen attached to the fencing that surrounds Mt. Namsan's N Seoul Tower in Central Seoul. There even exists a special bin in which to place keys following the accumulation of hundreds around the fence.
Cologne, Germany

I've seen the one in Poland and it is one of the most romantic things I have ever seen because the bridge goes over to an island that has a bunch of cathedrals and constant weddings…
This reminds me of when I found an old rusty padlock locked to the wire railing of a shoddy steel bridge across a creek on the beach. I tried to pick the lock, but the mechanism was too rusty to even try to manipulate.
I SO WANNA START THIS!!!!!! i haven't seen it here in the UK. I might just put a lock on a fence and see what happens
This is actually a timeless idea in Western culture, as well as Eastern. Recall the "chastity belt" and the locks on the doors (and the oak tree) of the Odyssey, and the Claddagh (sp) ring. Very touching, very universal. I believe it is what seperates us from most animals, the idea of fidelity and union and bond.
There's another place like this on a coastal walkway in Cinque Terre, Italy
the locks of love in Cinque Terre, Italy are breath taking. They are along the path that you hike from one village to the next and they go on for quite a distance, it is breath taking. over and over again, when you turn a corner there are more and more. amazing!
I loved these photos, it is so romantic. I have to find a place for my fiance and I to do this…:)
How awful. Sorry to see that love cannot be thought to be forever with out ruining the landscape or historic place for those yet to come.
All because of a speech impediment.
What Eros – god of love – tried to say was:
LOTS of love.
So when it all goes to hell and they get divorced does someone go back and remove the lock?
theres also one of these on a bridge in paris just outside of the Louvre.
This is cute. Those saying it should be used for scrap, i bet you're single and never been in love. You'd never see this here in the UK. It'd get robbed so fast!
Thanks. it is romantic and i like usa and russia .
i think this tradition is beautiful. i would love to have it brought to the public in DE. it is NOT trash. it is an exulting promise.
I'll bet the "tradition" was started by a company who makes padlocks, eager to find a way to boost sales
Came in here to post about the wall in Cinque Terre.
left out one in Florence, Italy on the Ponte Vecchio
I absolutely love this pictures!
IN PARIS, love locks can be found on a small bridge, just behind Notre Dame Cathedral: Pont de l'Archevêché.
@Janet : come on! Gates, grates, and lamposts are not historical sites… And locks are not ruining anything!!
I hadn't ever heard of these until I noticed them on a bridge over the Seine in Paris. A really cool idea.
I heart this. This will get around.
Coming to North America soon. I bet a million bucks on it.
"This isn't popular in the US because it looks like absolute trash."
Because the States are so clean, pristine, and well manicured??
I think this is a very lovely gesture made by couples. I have some friends who got married in Guam right at the spot where the picture above is taken. They were among the first to do this when the tradition had started.
And by the way Guam is a territory of the USA.
I got married at two lovers point in Guam 4 years ago, four years later we are no longer in Guam but are still happily married. I hope to travel back for an anniversary one year and see if our padlock is still attached to that railing.
Mt Kiera (Wollongong), just south of Sydney Australia has started to be a place for this (sorry don't have photos).
People have started doing this on the Brooklyn Bridge
you forgot Lovelock, Nevada
I'm disappointed by all the people claiming that these locks 'ruin' the landscape. They are touching expressions of people's love for one another and make beautiful, interactive public art.

Im so exited!!!! ^^
I'm amazed !
These are amazing, I havn't heard of these "love-locks" before, especially like the lamppost covered Thank you for sharing.
What a waste of locks!
Great pictures and thanks for the blog!

Ashley Judd May Challenge Mitch McConnell in 2014
(NEWSER) – The rumors are true: Ashley Judd is considering running for Senate in 2014, four sources tellPolitico. But the political fledgling would be up against none other than Kentucky's own Mitch McConnell, so she's also considering waiting until 2016 to take on Rand Paul instead. The actress and longtime Dem activist has discussed the run with Kirsten Gillibrand and a Democrat pollster, and has started doing her own opposition research to find out where her most vulnerable spots in the state are. "She is doing all the things that a serious candidate exploring a race should do," a Kentucky Democrat says.

News Release
October 3, 2013
Richard Berkfield , Executive Director, Co-founder, Food Connects [email protected]
(248) 904-8347
Food Connects, a Brattleboro-based nonprofit, has launched Buying Clubs for affordable local food in four local schools as part of the Vermont Community Foundation's Food and Farm Initiative. Community members near Brattleboro Area Middle School, Academy School, Putney Central, and Guilford Central can enroll now at FoodConnects.org.
The Clubs provide local food at lower prices through their partnership with Windham Farm and Food (WFF). Members place food orders twice a month, online or on paper, and WFF delivers to the school every two weeks. The club accepts cash, EBT, or check. The Clubs are open to all community members with a stated goal of serving low-income families. Participants who do not qualify for WIC, food stamps, or state-subsidized health insurance pay a little extra to support those who need more. The intention of the Buying Clubs is to create new markets for local food, not to shift from existing direct farm to consumer markets.
"The Buying Club is for anyone and everyone—families, community members, staff members," says Ingrid Chrisco, principal of the Brattleboro Area Middle School (BAMS). "BAMS is pleased to support such a good program and opportunity."
Produce is seasonal and inventory fluctuates throughout the year, but Food Connects does have a reliable supply of apples, root vegetables, herbs, and even some greenhouse-produced leafy greens throughout the sparse winter and early spring months. Eggs, bread, bagels, yogurt, cheese, and other items are available all year long.
The Community Foundation funded the Buying Clubs as one of the promising approaches they've identified to tackle food insecurity in Vermont through the local food system. Food Connects also received funding from the Initiative to collaborate with Green Mountain Farm-To-School on a statewide Harvest of the Month program which provides illustrated posters and educational materials to schools and other interested institutions. These materials centered on a monthly "harvest" encourage classrooms, cafeterias, and communities to incorporate local produce into their meals. October's materials feature broccoli and cauliflower and can be found at VermontHarvestoftheMonth.org.
"The Food and Farm Initiative has allowed Food Connects to find ways to better connect more Vermonters with locally produced foods. Accessing and cooking local food is a challenge for most of us, but it's especially difficult for those of us who are struggling financially. As a community, we have a lot more to learn, and do, to make sure that more of us can eat locally-produced food," says Richard Berkfield, executive director.
This year's Buying Clubs are supported by the help of volunteers and students at each school. Community members interested in volunteering to support the Clubs can contact Helen at FoodConnects dot org for BAMS and Putney, or Hanna at FoodConnects dot org for Academy and Guilford. For more information about Food Connects or to join one of the clubs, visit FoodConnects.org.
Food Connects is a southern Vermont nonprofit dedicated to cultivating healthy farm and food connections in classrooms, cafeterias, and communities. Their work seeks to ensure the growth and sustainability of Farm-to-School programming in and around Windham County, increase direct sales by developing new markets for locally produced food, and support the development of local food aggregation and distribution systems. They can be found on Facebook and on Twitter @FoodConnectsVT. Visit FoodConnects.org for more information.
The Vermont Community Foundation's Food and Farm Initiative works at the nexus of hunger, health, and the state's agricultural tradition to connect all Vermont families with healthy, local food—regardless of where they live, what they earn, or how much time they spend cooking. Over the next five years, through research, grants, and investments—and in partnership with funders and providers across the state—the Community Foundation will help Vermont develop a nationally-recognized food system that sustains local farmers and creates healthy communities for all Vermonters. Visit vermontcf.org/localfood or call (802) 388-3355 for more information.

Species Profile: Austral parakeet
(photo by Jonny Miller)
By Tyler Freitas (College of the Atlantic '15)
The Austral parakeet (Enicognathus ferrugineus) is within the Pstittacidae or true parrot family. All parrots have a few distinguishable features including a distinct curved beak, with the upper mandible having limited mobility within its attachment to the skull. They are also characterized by their erect stance and their 4 digits on each foot. Within the Pstittacidae family, the subfamily Arinae denotes the conures or large parakeets and small parrots of the western hemisphere. These are lightly built parrots with long tails and small but strong beaks. All of the extant species of Arinae are found in Central and South America. North America's only member, the Carolina Parakeet, went extinct in the early 20th century. While the term conures is fairly antiquated, it is still sometimes used to denote 9 genre, two of which, Aratinga and Pyrrhura being the dominant genre with the remaining seven containing only one or two species each. Enicognathus is a genus endemic to Patagonia and southern Chile. It contains two species; Enicognathus leptorhynchus, the slender-billed parakeet and Enicognathus ferrugineus, the Austral Parakeet.
The Austral parakeet was first described by Fr. Juan Ignacio Molina, a Chilean Jesuit priest, naturalist, historian, botanist, ornithologist and geographer. However, his descriptions of E. ferrugineus were so inaccurate that they have been discarded and the species given its present name. The Austral parakeet is a fairly large parakeet, growing to around 13 or 14 inches. They are characterized by their brilliant olive green plumage which has a rather scaly look due to the edges of their feathers being a few shades darker. They also have distinct red tails, foreheads, lores and a red patch on their stomach. Their lifespan can reach up to 30+ years. Within Enicognathus ferrugineus there are two sub-species, E.f. ferrugineus which is more southern, found in Tierra del Fuego and the Beagle islands and E.f. minor whose range spans from the straits of Magellan to Bio Bio.
Both subspecies of Austral parakeet are typically found in Notofagus and Araucaria forests and forest edges. They can also be found feeding in agriculture fields. While in the southern part of its range the species is found near sea level, in the northern part of its range it can be found up to 2000 m above sea level. At our base camp at West Winds campground in the park, we've seen these parakeets several times flying among the N. pumilio trees.
These gregarious and curious birds fly in small flocks of two to twenty birds, though they have been known to form flocks of up to a hundred individuals. They generally fly fast and low with fairly rapid wing beats. While we have heard them be quite loud and vocal while flying in their small flocks while in their nests or perched in tree tops they are typically silent.
While we still have not seen an Austral Parakeet nest, they are known to nest in tree cavities, primarily in old growth N. pumilio and A. araucaria mixed forests. Studies have shown that the Austral parakeet usually favors N. pumilio trees as they have a higher cavity density (4-7) rather than A. araucaria which has fewer (1-2). These cavity nests are usually old Magellanic woodpecker (Campephilus magellanicus) nests, though some are in natural cavities.
While not currently threatened, the Austral parakeet's habitat preference could pose a future threat to the species if fragmentation and loss of old-growth forests continue. E. ferrugineus nests in December, the females laying clutches of 4-8 small, opaque and white eggs. These eggs are incubated for 21-27 days. The young will stay in the nest for 6-8 weeks before leaving. At about two years they reach maturity and may begin breeding.
The Austral parakeets are primarily seed eaters, notably of the southern beeches, N. pumilio and N. antartica, as well as the seeds of grasses. In some areas of Patagonia they are considered pests by famers as they cause damage to crops. However, their diet is broader and includes nuts, berries and leaf buds. Recently it has also been discovered that they eat insects, specifically, the larvae of Aditrochus fagicolus, a wasp, found in the N. pumilio trees. Their favorite food however, appears to be the seeds and leaf buds of A. araucaria.
The Austral parakeet is one of the most beautiful and colorful birds we have seen in the future Patagonia National Park. Its vibrantly green and red plumage make this parakeet quite distinct. The only other bird species in Patagonia which it would be possible to confuse the austral parakeet with is the E. leptorhynchus, or the slender-billed parakeet. However, the two can be easily distinguished by the larger size of the slender-billed parakeet; its less distinct red plumage and its characteristic elongated and overhanging upper bill. This later feature is by far the most obvious characteristic distinguishing these parakeets. While the austral parakeet is the most common parakeet in Chile, it is none-the-less an extraordinarily beautiful and charismatic bird which is a treat to see while in the park.

Hey, everyone! As promised, today I'm going to share a few decorating takeaways from the completed mudroom, which I shared last week as part of Casa Watkin's New Year New Room Challenge. The process of getting a room from my head to completion gets more and more streamlined each time I do it. Along the way, I've figured out a few things that can help you become more decorating-proficient in your own home.
Takeaway #1–Have a Plan
You've probably noticed by now that I like to create a mood board for each room I work on. This is helpful for a couple of reasons. First, you can see how everything that's in your head is going to work together. Second, you won't lose focus on what the end result is supposed to look like. This keeps the budget on track by curbing the urge to add in unnecessary items. (I'm looking at you, HomeGoods and Target.)
You can either use Polyvore (I explained that in more detail here) or clip and paste your items using photo editing software. I prefer PicMonkey, because I'm basic like that. Speaking of photo editing…
Takeaway #2–A Bad Room Mock-up is Better Than No Bad Room Mock-up
I was scared silly about painting the doors black, but I knew this wasn't going to work. It looked like the arctic tundra in here.
Good thing I had a poorly edited mock-up I could reference!
The black doors were necessary to balance everything out and break up the vast expanse of white. And in case you're wondering, "What if the walls were a different color?", it still would've been too much white, since the door and locker would've looked nearly identical. Not good. What is good? Bad room mock-ups.
Takeaway #3–Check Your Work
Remember that from math class? The same holds true for projects as you're working on them. Just because I've made a plan doesn't mean I won't change course a bit, like flipping around the location of the plant and dog bowls. The rug would've been off center had I kept the original plan in place, and you know how that makes me unhinged. (Scroll quickly past this picture if any of this is hitting too close to home.)
Takeaway #4–Be Flexible
There are certain things I had to modify in the room, and being flexible helped me get the finished look I was after even with those changes. The light fixture I originally selected was on back order, the locker had shuttered drawers (nope), and the snake plant I wanted to show you in the room didn't photograph well–it was way too short in the non-chinoiserie planter (which was scrapped for budget issues).
The good news is, unless you're a blogger, some of these little hiccups won't matter to you. You can wait for the light fixture and you can wait for your plants to grow. As for the locker unit, it ticked all of my boxes except for a small cosmetic detail that was easily changed, and I think we all have to be mindful of budget. Being flexible kept me from throwing up my hands and waiting for custom built-ins that aren't in the near or distant future, and my family now has a mudroom that we all use and enjoy.
Takeaway #5–A Beautiful Space isn't Effortless
It's important to keep in mind that having a finished room you can be proud of does require planning and effort. Don't be fooled when people use the term "effortless style" to describe something–you can bet it's been thought out on many levels to look like that. #harshtruth I happily admit that I put time and effort into the rooms I create for our home. Do it right the first time and you'll save time and money in the long run!
Now it's time to see what the rest of the ladies did for their final post of the New Year New Room Challenge. (You probably thought you'd never get to this part.) Again, much appreciation to both Minted and Lamps Plus for their generous contributions to this project. Thanks for reading and have fun seeing the rest of the finished rooms!

iHeart Moves Nashville With Inaugural Country Fest
The country edition of the iHeartRadio Music Festival rocked Austin on Saturday. As we expected, a total of nine acts appeared Festival: Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Dan + Shay, Florida Georgia Line, Hunter Hayes, Lady Antebellum, Jake Owen and Carrie Underwood. Fans who can't attend the show in person can still check out the performances online. There were no huge surprises, but fans clearly got their money's worth. Here's a rundown of the performances:
- Aldean's set included "Take a Little Ride," "Tattoos on This Town," "Dirt Road Anthem" and "My Kind of Party." And before he launched into "The Only Way I Know," he noted that Church and Bryan had sung on his recording of the track, but that was going to do something different for the show – and he invited Florida Georgia Line to fill in.
- Bryan opened with "That's My Kind of Night," and kept the party going with "Rain Is a Good Thing," "Play It Again" and "Crash My Party." He mellowed the mood with "Drink a Beer" and rocked to the end with "I Don't Want This Night to End" and an extended take on "Country Girl (Shake It for Me)."
- Church offered up "The Outsiders," his current Top 10 single "Give Me Back My Hometown," "Smoke a Little Smoke," "Cold One" and offering a passage from Bruce Springteen's "I'm on Fire" while delivering his song, "Springsteen."
- Dan + Shay, who performed "Somewhere Only We Know," "Show You Off" and their debut single, "19 You + Me."
- Florida Georgia Line's set included "It'z Just What We Do," "Get Your Shine On," "Round Here," "Stay," "This Is How We Roll" and their mega-hit, "Cruise."
- Hayes charmed the crows with "Wild Card," "Wanted," "Invisible" and "I Want Crazy."
- Owen tore through a set that included "Days of Gold," "Anywhere With You," "Alone With You," "The One That Got Away" and "Barefoot Blue Jean Night."
- Lady A sashayed through a collection of their hits: "Compass," "Downtown," "I Run to You," "Need You Now" and "We Owned the Night."
- Ms. Underwood rocked through power-charged versions of "Good Girl," "Two Black Cadillacs," "Undo It," "Jesus, Take the Wheel," "Before He Cheats" and "Blown Away."

The moujik sold it last week to the Elijah Priest, and got all the money for it.
The moujik gave him one, and asked when he should come for his money.
And you let the old man bury the moujik and think it was you?
Well, the moujik died, and never said a word about the money to any one.
But they rewarded the moujik richly, and sent him away home with great honor.
The moujik cut off the left skirt of the shroud, and gave up the coffin-lid.
The moujik unharnessed his horse and set it free to graze; meanwhile he laid himself down on one of the graves.
The moujik began to thresh: from every sheaf he got a peck of grain.
The moujik dominates the stage, even after the generous lopping from the partition of some of the choruses.
I went along that same road, and I helped the moujik to get his cart free.

Dallas Mavericks vs. Denver Nuggets
NBA / Western Conference
Wednesday, February 8th, 2012
Pepsi Center, Denver, CO @ 9:00 PM EST
Analysis of the Dallas Mavericks
The defending champions are getting off to a bit of a rough start this year, beginning 14-11 with a couple of tough three game loss streaks. However, their stellar defense and veteran leadership have still propelled them to 8th place in the Western Conference, and most of the losses they have suffered have come against good teams (the Heat, Thunder, Pacers, & Clippers to name a few). Not exactly the quick start that happened last season, but nothing that fans should be overly worried about.
Analysis of the Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets were defined last year by the trading of Carmelo Anthony to New York, receiving a couple great pieces and draft picks in return. The trade was thought to help make New York a powerhouse squad but has in fact made the Nuggets, 15-10 on the year, a more dangerous opponent. An extremely spread out team, 6 players currently average double figures in points per game on the highest scoring ball club in the NBA this year.
Key Players
Dallas Mavericks: Jason Terry
With PG Jason Kidd potentially out, the Mavericks will be relying on both Terry and Nowitski to carry their team through the much tougher Western Conference games. Nowitski isn't a question though; he'll put up 20-8 every night. The question is whether or not Terry will be able to step up in Kidd's absence.
Denver Nuggets: Ty Lawson
Though nursing a hurt ankle PG Ty Lawson should play, and he must if the Nuggets want to win this game. Leading scorer Danilo Gallinari is out for upwards of a month with a severe ankle sprain and Lawson must play well to try and make up for that loss. As well, the lack of Jason Kidd on the other side of the ball should allow for Lawson to have a much better matchup on the court. He has to take advantage.
Key Statistics
Points per game:
Denver scores the most in the league, averaging 104 points scored each time out. Dallas is one of the best defensive teams in the NBA though, only allowing about 90 points every night. This game will come down to the unstoppable force (Denver's offense) versus an immoveable object (Dallas's defense); whichever team lets up will lose.
The Nuggets have been a bit of a surprise this year and the Mavericks a bit of a disappointment. That said, it will still be a well-played game. Injuries are hurting both teams badly, but ultimately I think that Denver's depth will be able to overcome their injury bug while Dallas will end up not being able to put it together defensively, decisively losing a tough road matchup.

Prediction = Denver Nuggets: 98 – Dallas Mavericks: 78

Bea Arthur Saves Animals With PETA From Beyond The Grave
Bea Arthur has risen from the grave to come out in support of PETA, or so it seems. The animal rights organization has released a new ad that features Saint Bea criticizing McDonald's for their chicken farming practices.
Almost anticipating Bea fans clucking at their use of the deceased star without her consent, the ad explains that Bea left some money in her will for PETA to fight the factory farming of animals and now they are using her money (and image) to chastise McDonald's.
PETA hopes that the ad will convince McDonald's to use a more humane and less violent method of chicken slaughter of their chickens.
The ad ends with Bea's Maude character saying "God'll get you for that."
What do you think of PETA using Bea in their ads? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

bandhu asu
bandhu moi asu tur logot,we must do something for our root
We the proud ex-students of SSG are also earning, can't we join
All of us who has passed out of the school and are gainfully engaged can contribute our bit to build a corpus.
Can we think of --
(i) Let all the ex-students who are gainfully engaged contribute some amount for the corpus. The amount may be left
to individuals. However, specifying a minimum amount say Rs.500/- of Rs.1000/- may be necessary.
(ii) Thereafter, we can contribute annualy any amount as per individual discretion (based on utilisation of the amount previously collected)
Necessary formalities with the Income Tax authorities may be done to facilitate the contributing members get tax-benefits.
Contributing Rs.100/- per month (i.e. total of Rs.1200/- per annum) should not be a problem for most of us. I think we owe to the institution much more.
Donating a small sum for a good cause can give solace.
Well, if we start thinking too much into the sum collected and if those who handle the fund does something funny Head/heart aches are assured.
My appeal would be -- "Kiman paisa(read taka) enei nasta karu, Jikhan schoolor babe aji bhaldore protisthit hobo parisu ami sei schoolor namat olop arihona aag borhabo nuarune"
Fundraising for OBA SSG
I agree to Cdr. R.J. Bora's ideas of fundraising more so the second point. If we can channelise to enrol members before they leave school it will help us to grow in strength and I feel the fee for entry should be kept very nominal to encourage entry for everyone.
We can always organise cultural shows by involving various celebreties, both local and invited ones to raise funds by trying to rope in corporate houses for contribution and also by sale of tickets or passes.
Fund Raising
I have the follwing suggestions:-
(a) When a student is in his final year/about to pass out, he be made a permanent member (amount can be decided by OBA). This way each student passing out is a life member and will have the feeling of being part of OBA. This is being followed in SS Kozilottam and is quite successful.
(b) Some sort of charity movie/drama/cultura programme for which ticket can be sold before hand. 50 % can go to OBA and rest to some organisation.

Alle-Kiski Valley high school notebook: New Knoch basketball coach has high hopes
Dave Peters teaches vehicle collision repair at Butler County Area Vocational Technical School.
As the new Knoch girls basketball coach, he will try to pop the dent out of a program that's been spinning its wheels of late.
"I bet I'm the only coach who can paint and fix cars," said Peters, a Butler native.
Peters, 44, was hired last week to replace Sean O'Donnell, who resigned after four seasons. Knoch will be the first head coaching job for Peters, who was an assistant with the men's team last season under Dick Hartung at Butler County Community College. He calls Hartung his mentor.
Peters also coached the Butler High School girls junior varsity team. His challenge will be getting Knoch to experience above-.500 basketball again. The Knights haven't had a winning season since 2008-09, and although they made back-to-back playoff appearances in 2011 and '12, they are 28-81 since.
"Knoch has a rich tradition and great facilities and it seems like the right fit for me," said Peters, who has taught at Butler Vo-Tech for 11 years. "I had applied for other varsity jobs and made the finals, but never got over the hump. I love the game and I love to teach."
Peters said he also applied at Slippery Rock and Moniteau. Peters said Butler County C.C. ran an uptempo offense, which he liked. He hopes Knoch can pick up the pace as well.
He said he would like to begin holding open gyms by early summer.
"We'll have to see what kind of skill-level of girls we have," he said. "At BC3, we were fast-paced but we also had a shot clock.
"I want to come in and change the atmosphere. I think if the girls are willing to put the time in, that can happen."
Tatrn absent
Deer Lakes boys volleyball coach Rick Tatrn's absence from the Lancers' 3-0 win over Keystone Oaks on Tuesday night begs a question as the team enters Thursday's quarterfinal against No. 1 seed Ambridge: Will Tatrn, Deer Lakes' coach since 1971, return to the sidelines against the Bridgers?
For undisclosed reasons, Tatrn missed at least one match and practice earlier this spring — he was not present when Deer Lakes hosted West Shamokin on April 29 or when the Lancers held practice April 30 — but returned to lead the team as it closed out its regular season.
On Tuesday, charges of simple assault, disorderly conduct and harassment were filed against Tatrn by the Derry Borough Police Department, according to documents from Magisterial District Judge Mark Bilik.
The date of the alleged incident is listed as April 24, the same day Deer Lakes went to Derry for a match.
Official explanation for Tatrn's absences remains elusive. Tatrn has not returned calls.
Top assistant B.J. Reiher, who served as coach Tuesday night and April 29, declined to comment after both matches. And Deer Lakes athletic director Chuck Bellisario has refused to comment.
Another offerfor A-R's Tipton
Apollo-Ridge junior football standout Tre Tipton picked up another Division I scholarship opportunity with Ohio University offering.
Akron, Buffalo and Massachusetts also have shown interest of late. Tipton (6-foot-1, 170), an all-state defensive back and big-play wide receiver, also has offers from Toledo, Duquesne and St. Francis (Pa.).
Going camping
Knoch junior quarterback Dan Farinelli was invited to and attended the Nike Camp at the New York Jets' training center in Florham, N.J. The camp, held in April, was for the top 230 junior and sophomore players from the East Coast. Farinelli completed 82 of 175 passes for 1,175 yards and seven touchdowns last season.

School is right around the corner, which means students may need after-school help with their course material.
The Adaptive Curriculum has the answers to high school and middle school students interested in raising their test scores in the areas of math and science, with the help of Uzinggo.
Uzinggo is an at-home product for parents looking for a tutoring service for their child that covers math and science, according to Ryan Hill, Uzinggo's product manager.
"The website is designed for those parents who may not have the funds to pay for a face-to-face tutor, that can be upwards of $50 an hour, or do not have the time to take their child to and from," Hill said.
He explained that students can log in to the website and search a variety of topics in math and science to help with a student's problem.
"The main goal of Adaptive Curriculum is to deliver math and science activities for middle school and high school students, focusing on deep conceptual learn," Hill said.
Other related concepts are offered to the student while they're focusing on one topic, which will give them a better understanding for the upcoming tests they are studying for.
Uzinggo also offers prep-courses for students feeling anxious about entering a new subject, like geometry.
The team operating Uzinggo is offering a summer special for Ahwatukee Foothills News readers by giving a 20 percent discount for signing up for the program.
"If any of your readers sign up for Uzinggo, they can use the code "Ahwatukee" and it will provide them with a 20 percent discount," Hill said. "Typically in the summer where students are out of school they may regress a little. So the prep-courses/review courses are a great way for parents to encourage their child to go in and brush up a little bit on their math and science skills, before the start of school."
All of the based-learning activities offered by the adaptive curriculum are online, which begins with a real-world scenario to engage the participator.
Plans and pricing are all listed on the Uzinggo website, www.uzinggo.com.

Possibly Krupp had overheard the conversation, or divined its nature.
Would it help Belgium if you and I were replaced by men from Krupp's?
But the elder Krupp had been on the right track, and would have won if his strength had held out.
If Krupp's run these works the workmen will have to work, make no mistake on that point.
The field and horse batteries are armed with the Krupp quick-fire gun of the model of 1903.
A man named Hirsch is hired by the Krupp firm to "accelerate" this work.
The greater part of it is produced at or around Essen, where are the famous Krupp works, and Bochum.
There were Krupp guns mounted in most of these works, but not a steamer was hit.
Twice a Krupp gun was brought up and some shells fired amongst them, causing them to fall back.
At that time there were only three to reply to the Krupp guns of the foe.
1883, gun made at the armaments works in Essen, Germany, founded by German metallurgist Alfred Krupp (1812-1887).

Up close with students, Paul Farmer discusses inequities of economics and disease
Paul Farmer is a physician in high demand, with a calling to help the poorest of the world's poor. But on Monday when public health concentrators in a senior seminar class sought wisdom beyond the pages of one of his books — their assigned text — he made a house call.
Farmer, who is also an anthropologist at Harvard and a major figure in global health equity, spoke to about 30 students in Mark Lurie's "Health and Human Rights" class.
Rather than delivering prepared remarks, as he did before a much larger audience on the subject of Haiti later in his day at Brown, he dedicated the hour to answering student questions. They ranged from how they, as future global health workers, could better involve the communities they serve, to the role of cost-effectiveness in public health decision making.
Lurie, assistant professor of medical science, acknowledged that he's not always able to give his students such intimate in-person access to the authors he assigns, much less the famous ones. "It's a rare treat," he said.
After the session, one of the students readily confessed to being "a big fan" of Farmer, a prolific author who is perhaps best known as a co-founder in Haiti of the now global NGO Partners in Health and the Institute for Health and Social Justice.
Although Farmer is noted for providing groundbreaking AIDS and tuberculosis treatment in Haiti and elsewhere, almost all of his discussions with the students Monday focused on economics. He expressed a simultaneous acceptance and lamentation of market forces as a central influence in the mission of global health causes.
For instance, when a student in the front row asked that question about community involvement, Farmer said the short answer was "jobs," suggesting that financial empowerment — he teased the students that the "e-word" is overused everywhere and especially at Brown — is essential to any assurance of sustained public health. A critic of unfettered markets, he offered that jobs, like health care and housing, should be considered a right.
But that was only after he had acknowledged, in response to a question about the impact of globalization, that the market will be essential to Haiti's recovery.
"We are kind of stuck with the world we've got," Farmer said. "Haiti is enmeshed in an economic framework that is centuries in the making. ... Right now we've got to get more investment in Haiti — better jobs and greener jobs. That's not going to mean letting Haiti be out of the international market economy. On the contrary.
"I'm a cheerleader for the market economy as long as it's not hurting people and as long as you have those safety nets to catch people when they fall, as they invariably do," he said.
Farmer also fielded a question from Lurie, who asked what condition he would say global health and human rights are in, if those fields were a patient.
Farmer noted that when he wrote some parts of the book the class is reading, Pathologies of Power: Health, Human Rights, and the New War on the Poor, as many as a dozen years ago, things looked terribly bleak. Now, after major initiatives like the President's Emergency Plan for Aids Relief and The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, they've pulled away from the brink.
"The patient is on life support [and] intubated," Farmer said, "but things are better than they were 12 years ago."
Soon it will be up to the students he was addressing — the next generation of public health workers — to get the patient out of bed and breathing easier.
Community health senior Akinyi Shapiro left Farmer's visit feeling inspired.
"Talking to Paul Farmer face-to-face made the realities of public health issues far more immanent for me," she said. "He has done much in the field for people who have lost much of their dignity in the past to public health errors [such as] using cost-effectiveness as a measure for ignoring their lives."
