Correction Appended
Before there was a Unisphere in Flushing Meadow Park or a bridge dedicated to an explorer named Verrazano, before the Beatles cut their first single or the Soviets spirited missiles into Cuba, a small band of actors filed nightly into a tiny theater in Greenwich Village to perform a romantic little musical about a boy, a girl and the travails of young love.
The week it opened, in May 1960, its producer was advised to close the show: the reviews were only so-so, and ticket sales were disappointing. But he decided to try to hang on for a spell, to the relief of the cast of unknowns. One of them, an actor named Jerry Orbach with a creamy baritone, imagined that if it had time to develop a following, the show might flourish. ''I thought,'' Mr. Orbach recalled, ''it could run for like five years.''
He was off by only 37.
''The Fantasticks'' would go on to defy every convention of the here-today-gone-tomorrow ethos of the theater, staying longer in New York than many New Yorkers. It would not only outrun virtually every entertainment venture of its time but also outlast nine presidents, six mayors, four decades and enough city blackouts, bailouts and blizzards to fill a stack of almanacs. On the ''Fantasticks'' timeline, ''Cats,'' which ran for 18 years, was a flash in the pan. Only ''The Mousetrap'' in London, soon to celebrate its 50th anniversary, has endured longer.
And now, on Sunday evening, after 17,162 performances -- an American record that, like Joe DiMaggio's consecutive-game hitting streak, may never be equaled -- ''The Fantasticks'' will do the one thing that few thought it capable of. It will close. For one last time, the two-piece band of piano and harp will strike up the score, the actor playing the dashing El Gallo will sing the signature opening song, ''Try to Remember''; the eight-member cast will enact the simple, two-act fable on the white-tiled floor of the Sullivan Street Playhouse; and then the ancient-looking stage lights will be switched off on an essential piece of theater history.
''Haven't we earned the right to retire gracefully?'' asked Tony Noto, the show's associate producer and son of its chief producer, Lore Noto. If he sounded slightly exasperated, it may have been because in the months since word of the closing began to spread, die-hard fans have been telling the Notos that justice would be served only if ''The Fantasticks'' were allowed to run perpetually, a kind of theatrical Niagara Falls.Continue reading the main story
But the Notos are Fantastick-ed out. And so perhaps are most theatergoers. It is no secret that this war horse has been limping along for years, surviving chiefly on out-of-towners lured by, among other things, the sheer length of its celebrated run. Even then, it has been difficult to fill the 150-seat theater. There was the memorable low point of a matinee a few years back, the younger Mr. Noto recalled, when the actors did the entire show for a paying audience of one.
So when a new landlord recently bought the building that houses the theater and talked of large-scale renovation of the property -- the show has a lease that allows it to stay for as long as it continues to run -- the Notos decided to settle with the owner and move on. (They say they are bound by the deal not to discuss its terms.)
Still, the intriguing question about ''The Fantasticks'' has less to do with why it is leaving than with why it, among the thousands of shows that have risen and fallen over the years, should be the Methuselah of musicals, having been presented in more than 15,000 productions around the country and the world.
During its 42-year run it has been made into a television special and a feature film, employed actors who went on to win Tonys, Emmys and Oscars, and had its melodies recorded by the likes of Harry Belafonte and Barbra Streisand. Once, years ago, when Ed Ames sang ''Try to Remember'' on the ''Tonight'' show, the response was so overwhelming that Johnny Carson asked him back to sing it again.
And of course this Off Broadway show has provided an income to countless theatrical journeymen, William Tost among them. He is a record holder himself, having played Bellomy, the Girl's father, since Nov. 6, 1982. ''I can't think of any other show that I could be in this long,'' he said, standing in a spartan communal dressing room at the Sullivan Street Playhouse. ''I don't think I could have been in 'Death of a Salesman' for 19 years and remained sane.''
Like those centenarians who attribute their survival to a regimen of wine and goose fat, ''The Fantasticks'' is a specimen whose longevity is a mystery to the experts. Even its creators, the composer Harvey Schmidt and the lyricist and book writer Tom Jones, cannot really put their fingers on it. Some unique mixture of ingredients is the best anyone can come up with: a timeless story, a simple setting, an eternally magical score, a producer with a stubborn streak, who nearly closed the show in 1986, then relented.
''It's meant to be a celebration and a sendup of young love,'' Mr. Jones said during a joint interview with Mr. Schmidt. ''It's supposed to touch you and also make you think how stupid it all is.''
Mr. Schmidt and Mr. Jones, who went on to write musicals like ''I Do! I Do!'' and ''110 in the Shade,'' toiled on ''The Fantasticks'' for years in the late 1950's. Its eccentricities began with its working title, ''Joy Comes to Deadhorse.'' Inspired by a largely forgotten work, ''Les Romanesques'' by Edmond Rostand, the author of ''Cyrano de Bergerac,'' the young songwriters drew on a variety of theatrical styles and themes, from commedia dell'arte to ''A Midsummer Night's Dream,'' to devise the parablelike story of Matt and Luisa, an everyboy and -girl, who learn about delight only by discovering pain.
''It's such a beautiful love story,'' said Rita Gardner, the original Luisa, the dreamy ingénue who sings of wanting to ''go to town in a golden gown/And have my fortune told.''
''The show had all those gorgeous songs, and it was done in a simple way without sets,'' she said. ''And there was empathy for everyone involved. Word Baker, the director, would let us do the show and he would say, 'I'll take that, that and that.' He was the editor, and he allowed us to be free.''
Baker died in 1995 but is still listed as the director. The original Matt, Kenneth Nelson, also died a few years ago; Mr. Orbach, now a star of ''Law and Order,'' played the suave narrator El Gallo, the part that made his name. Mr. Jones, under the pseudonym Thomas Bruce, originated the part of Henry, the Old Actor.
He and Mr. Schmidt eventually settled on ''The Fantasticks,'' which was also the name of the English version of the Rostand play, as their title. ''I really loved the K;, it really gave it such zing,'' declared Mr. Schmidt, who trained as a graphic artist and designed the type for the show's logo. (In the 1960's ''The Fantasticks'' protested when a cleaning product with a name spelled similarly came on the market. The songwriters said that in a compromise the manufacturer agreed to drop the C in its name.)
''The Fantasticks'' was never a success of the magnitude of, say, ''The Producers.'' ''It's never officially been a hit,'' Mr. Schmidt said. The piece bruises easily; in lazy productions, the artsy conceits -- the stylized language, the character of the Mute -- fall prey to preciousness.
It has also been altered over the years to conform to contemporary sensibilities. El Gallo's first-act showstopper ''It Depends on What You Pay,'' in which he lists the ways he might beguile and steal off with Luisa, is better known as the rape song. Rape is used in the number to mean seduction, but it became a more loaded term as time wore on.
The show in all its manifestations has made a comfortable living for its authors, but it's not the jackpot. ''It's not been a joy ride,'' said the elder Mr. Noto, who bristles at the suggestion that ''The Fantasticks'' has made a mint. In 1980, for example, the show made a profit of $24,000, he said. The profit for 1990, distributed among all of his investors, was $199,000.
Still, the original 44 investors have done well. The show's official Web site, www.thefantasticks.com, says they have received a 19,465 percent return on their collective investment of $16,500. Even so, parting with a piece after 42 years is not all business. ''I have a joke now that it's harder closing a show than opening one,'' Lore Noto said.
The timing of the final bow of course is especially poignant, given the terrible deaths of other enduring city monuments in recent months. The message of ''The Fantasticks'' proved to be eerily resonant in the days after Sept. 11. El Gallo's opening words could have been written that very week:
Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow.
Paul Blankenship, who was playing El Gallo at the time, said he could hardly force the words out. The actors report that there was not a dry eye in the theater during those performances. On Sunday night, there probably won't be one, either.
Correction: January 14, 2002, Monday A timeline on Wednesday charting historic events during the run of ''The Fantasticks,'' the musical that opened in May 1960 and closed yesterday after 17,162 performances, misstated the date of the first 30-minute evening news program on television and misidentified the network that produced it. The year was 1963, not 1965, and the network was CBS, not NBC.Continue reading the main story

What do the Democratic Party and a gang of criminals have in common? Funny you should ask!
In the fall of 2014, outspoken pundit, author, and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza found himself hauled into federal court for improperly donating money to a friend who was running for the Senate. D'Souza pleaded guilty, apologized for his offense, and was sentenced to eight months in a state-run confinement center near his home in San Diego. In the facility, he lived among hardened criminals - drug dealers, thieves, gangbangers, rapists, and murderers. Now, in this timely, fresh, provocative, and entertaining audiobook, the best-selling author explains how this experience not only changed his life but fundamentally transformed his perception of his adopted country.
Previously, D'Souza had seen America through the eyes of a grateful immigrant who came here as a student and became successful by applying and defending conservative principles. Again and again D'Souza made the case that America is an exceptional nation, fundamentally fair and just. But his prolonged exposure to the criminal underclass provided an eye-opening education in American realities. In the view of hardened criminals, America is anything but fair and just. Instead it is a jungle in which various armed gangs face off against one another, with the biggest and most powerful gangs inhabiting the federal government.
Applying this hardboiled perspective to American politics, D'Souza saw that America is becoming less exceedingly exceptional every day. Indeed, it is in danger of becoming just like India and other corrupt third world nations, run by gangs of kleptocrats. As for American liberalism, it is not a movement of ideas at all; it is but a series of scams and cons aimed at nothing less than stealing the wealth of the American people.
With biting wit and literary brio, D'Souza describes these liberal cons and the rationales and methods used to justify and execute them.

Big Hips or Big Belly - It's in your Genes
Building up fat reserves? Your
genetics tell them where to go
© PixelQuelle.de
According to the new study led by researchers at Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, both obesity and body shape seem to be controlled by important genes that are part of the mechanisms regulating normal development. Lead researcher C. Ronald Kahn, M.D., President of Joslin at Harvard Medical School and post-doctoral fellow Stephane Gesta, Ph.D., used for the first time gene chips as a tool to understand what genes might control the development of fat inside the abdomen versus fat under the skin.
The researchers examined the genetic makeup of fat samples from around internal organs and under the skin of both mice and almost 200 human subjects ranging from normal to very obese, and including people with mostly abdominal obesity and people with subcutaneous and intra-abdominal obesity. Theorising that fat distribution patterns may originate in the genes involved in control of development, the researchers found that as many as twelve developmental genes may play a role in different fat depots and that at least three of these seemed to be especially important in obesity.
The researchers compared levels of activity for these three genes - Tbx15, Gpc4, and HoxA5 - in intra-abdominal and subcutaneous fat taken from individuals of normal weight versus overweight or obese individuals. "The differences we found in gene expression were so distinct," said Dr. Gesta, "that we could identify the body mass index (BMI) and the waist/hip ratio in the overweight population by the expression level of these genes. This finding suggests that the expression of these genes could be related to the pathogenesis of obesity."
Can people outsmart their fat genes to alter the outcome? "Now that's the big question," said Dr. Kahn. "While we now can predict the fat pattern, we have no magic bullet to alter the outcome. But with these new findings, we have identified potential targets for perhaps one day changing body shape. We don't have drugs to alter the pattern now, but perhaps in the future we will."

Congressional Letter Opposing Face-to-Face Documentation Requirements Sent to CMS Administrator
Last week, a bipartisan group of 75 Members of Congress sent a letter to Marilyn Tavenner, the Administrator for the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), on the overly complicated and burdensome face-to-face (F2F) physician encounter documentation requirements promulgated by CMS. The letter asserts that these documentation requirements go well beyond what the Affordable Care Act (ACA) required.
The letter was circulated by Representatives Tom Reed (R-NY), Paul Tonko (D-NY), Chris Smith (R-NJ), and Robert Andrews (D-NJ), and was sent to every congressional office asking for additional Member support.
New York and New Jersey NAHC members initiated the sign on letter and NAHC members and advocates were integral in the effort to get the 75 lawmakers to add their name to the letter.
The final 75 lawmakers who signed the letter are Democrats and Republicans from every region of the country representing rural, urban and suburban populations. In the letter, the lawmakers express their primary concerns with the F2F encounter requirement:

NAHC Responds to Methodological Issues in MedPAC's Home Health PPS Comments
The National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) recently addressed what it sees as methodological issues in MedPAC's home health rebasing proposal stating that:
"The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) recently submitted comments to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on the Home Health Prospective Payment System (HHPPS) Proposed Rule for CY 2014. In its comments, MedPAC appears to rely on data that are incomplete and outdated.
Most alarming of all, however, is the assertion that "targeted payment policies" will be considered – but only after loss of access to care has occurred.
It will take several years for MedPAC to identify the expected care loss and for Congress to enact corrective action. Millions of homebound seniors and disabled individuals will suffer needlessly due to the flawed analyses that are the foundation of CMS' unsustainable proposed rebasing adjustment."

Comments about Bumble bee Premium Albacore Tuna in Water:
This tuna is fantastic. The white chunks are far more flavorful than regular tunas. I cook with tuna and make tuna noodle alfredo dishes, but this tuna is so good that I want to savor it on its own. I usually add mayonnaise to tuna, but I skip it here because this tuna is too good for that. Sauces are great for masking less pleasant tastes, but here, the tuna is too tasty to mask. As soon as I open the can, I want to chow down on it because the aroma is so inviting, and my cats run in from the other room, and they love this tuna. This says a lot because my cats are very particular.
Comments about Bumble bee Premium Albacore Tuna in Water:
I love this brand because in my opinion its a higher quality than the others. I dont like when I open the other brands and they have pieces of dark or inky colored meat. Eww...it just doesnt look appetizing. Bumble Bee has always been a great choice for me and my family.
Comments about Bumble bee Premium Albacore Tuna in Water:
Just added some onions, cucumbers, and mayo to one pouch of this solid tuna that mixes better than canned and has virtually no fishy smell. 16 grams of protein and on some hearty bread this is actually the heart and soul of a lunchtime Sammy. It's a little more expensive but whe you do the math it adds up to a delicious meal.
Comments about Bumble bee Premium Albacore Tuna in Water:
A few weeks ago I found a rare catch ... a sale on *Bumble Bee Premium Albacore Tuna* *in Water* (pouch pack). I usually stick to certain brands of chunk light tuna because it is more economic and also safer to eat (according to the experts). I mention this to show that -- when it comes to albacore tuna -- I don't have much basis for comparison. I thought that *Bumble Bee Premium Albacore Tuna in Water* was delicious but actually **no better than chunk light tuna.**
The contents of a 3-oz. pouch is considered to be a single serving containing 90 calories with 10 calories from fat. There are one and a half grams total fat, zero each saturated and trans fat, 40 mg. cholesterol, 380 mg. sodium, zero each total carbs, dietary fiber and sugars, and 19 grams protein. Vitamins and minerals include: 30% (D.V.) Niacin, 15% Vitamin B-12, and 10% Vitamin B-6 and Phosphorus.
I enjoyed my *Bumble Bee Premium Albacore Tuna* sprinkled with a little lemon juice and coarse black pepper, along with a hard-boiled egg, small fresh tomato and slice of whole grain toast. I probably would recommend this to a friend with reservations. As for myself, I will stick to the safer, more economical, and just as tasty chunk light tuna in the future and that's the course which I would recommend the most.

Amir Khan, a boxing champ, gave an interview with Daily Star Sunday where he called for British based Muslim citizens to deal with violent extremism head on.
He decided to speak out after another mixed martial arts fighter named Tam Khan called British terror sympathizers "uneducated monkeys".
Tam called Muslims to,
"stop becoming militants and extremists. I think it's time the British or West deport not only those who speak bad or against the country but the entire family also. Islam is a beautiful religion, but these uneducated monkeys misinterpret things and feel they are acting on God's behalf and it's only getting worse."
Tam Kahn was later thrown off Facebook for his rant.
He got some heated responses. Former WBA and IBF light welterweight champ Amir Khan, who is 29, backed up Tam, though. Amir said,
"He's right. Everything he said is true. I am proud of being British and anyone who lives here has to have respect whatever your religion. There's no place for extremism here."
Amir is heavily involved with charitable organizations giving back to the community by donating his time and stardom to these needy causes. He also is known to hang out with celebrities but rebukes the notion he is a megastar. He insists that he would be willing to try his share in the entertainment industry but it's not something he vehemently said he would be doing.
It is nice to see people speaking up against radical jihadist terrorism. It is when we all come together to denounce such tragic acts of terrorism and call for the punishment of those accused that we are at our best. Their can be no justice when some remain silent. Because as liberals like to say, silence is violence. We must all use our voices to denounce such vitriolic and hateful acts of Islamic terrorism.

Secondary: C+
Secondary coach Teryl Austin made major improvements. The Ravens had communication problems at the end of the season, but they were nowhere near as bad as in the opener against the Denver Broncos. Jimmy Smith became a quality cornerback and if he develops ball awareness skills, he could become one of the best in the NFL. Lardarius Webb shook off the rust from major knee surgery, and became a top performer around midseason. Corey Graham made several big plays late in the season, which he has done for the past two years. The Ravens need to come up with a plan because they have two strong safeties in Matt Elam and James Ihedigbo. Elam struggles in tackling because he wants to blow up the player instead of getting into good position. Ihedigbo was one of the few Ravens who could turn momentum with a hard tackle.

Admitting he was struggling with the bat in his stint with Northamptonshire, Ganguly said, ''...in England and at this time of the season, you need to survive the initial moments to go for a big score. I was not getting the start in the last few matches. But I have to make it big to be there.'' The unimpressive show notwithstanding, Ganguly is hoping for a comeback to the side he lead for long.
''Well, that (comeback) is something I believe I should. That is the reason why I am here at the County cricket. I know I have to perform to come back to the team and I am trying to do so,'' he told Gulf News.
And despite his well-known poor relation with coach Greg Chappell and slipshod county form, Ganguly is hoping against hopes for a comeback before the 2007 World Cup.
''Well, if I thought it would not be possible, I would not have been playing now. That is a dream for me and I am chasing it. I need runs to back myself and if I can do so, it will be okay,'' he added.
Asked if he liked the Twenty20 version of the game, Ganguly, whose side was beaten in the Twenty20 Cup quarterfinal, said, ''You have to play the games as it is scheduled.
''The 240-balls game is a place where you have to hit it without thinking about anything else. This form of cricket has gained momentum here in England, people are coming to be part of the excitement,'' he observed.
He also denied taking batting tips from Zaheer Abbas who is here as Pakistan team manager.
''Not really. We met after a long time and had some usual chat.
Nothing else,'' he said.
Ganguly had to retire in Northamptonshire's match against Pakistan after his mistimed pull saw him dragging the ball onto his chin which required two butterfly stitches.
Despite his disappointing show with the bat so far, Ganguly realises this is his best chance of making good scores to draw the selectors' attention and he says he is enjoying the county atmosphere.
''It is as enjoyable as it was last year. I know I'm here for a few days and I have to do everything in this period. I earnestly hope that I shall be making my mark in the first class matches too,'' he added.

Rookie receiver Mike Williams will be fined by the Buccaneers an undisclosed amount in the wake of his arrest for suspicion of driving under the influence, Tampa Bay coach Raheem Morris said Monday.
Williams was allowed to play in Sunday's game. His blood-alcohol level, according to police reports, was below the state limit of .08.
But a sheriff's department spokesman said that Williams was seen speeding and weaving in traffic in a black Escalade around 2:30 a.m. ET.
Williams, 23, also submitted to a urine test, which can be requested if the officer suspects a driver is under the influence of something other than alcohol, the spokesman said.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello, meanwhile, told the website Pro Football Talk that the testing occurred without the consent of the league.
"We did not know about it or agree to it," Aiello was quoted as saying. "We are looking into it."
Toxicology results could take four to six weeks.
Meanwhile, the Buccaneers had Williams conduct his own independent urinalysis, in addition to the one the police did, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. The team did this because they wanted the results back as soon as possible. But Williams' independent urinalysis came back Monday and it showed no measure of any illegal substances, according to team general manager Mark Dominik.
Williams, who had three catches for 54 yards and one
TD Sunday, has compiled a total of 43 receptions for 681
yards and six TDs.
Information from ESPN.com's Pat Yasinskas and The Associated Press was used in this report.

"GP response to me asking for my blood pressure to be taken."
About: NHS Lanarkshire NHS Lanarkshire
Posted by Zola (as ),
Appointment at the surgery where I have been a patient for over 60 years.
Called on time by GP, obviously new to Practice I did not recognise this doctor.
Followed her from waiting room into surgery.
She did not introduce herself.
Brisk, business like manner.
After she dealt with my issue, I asked her to check my blood pressure. The practice nurse who normally does this was on holiday.
She replied, No, saying that I had already had 13 minutes and I should only have 10.
I was taken aback, she got to her feet and made for the door, indicating the appointment was over.
I know her name from the prescription she gave me.
I feel she should have taken the extra, 2 minutes or so to check my blood pressure.
She offered no alternative to how I could have it checked.
Response from Laura Jack, Patient Affairs Manager, Primary Care Division, NHS Lanarkshire 13 months ago
Dear Zola,
Thanks for getting in touch - however I was sorry to read about your recent experience with your GP. I can completely understand why you felt your request wasn't listened to or actioned.

"Fail to put the interest of the patients on 1st..."
Posted by Jhon Smith
I entered in to the out of hour service at 21:30 and the receptionist wasn't on the reception, she appear at 21:31 and asked what do i need, i told her that i need to see a doctor because i feel pain on my throat and i've fever and the nurse come out and told me that it's 21:32 and they close at 21:30 and i have to call the 111 service and book an appointment for tomorrow because my problem wasn't an emergency, and i asked to her "are you a qualified doctor to diagnose only looking behind the mirror of the reception that this is not an emergency?" the most funny is that i'm a dentist and for that reason i'm able to make diagnosis but i need another doctor to prescribe antibiotics, and when i am on my practice and a patient enter, even out of hours i have to see the patient, because every practitioner must put the interest of the patient on first place, even if they want to go to their houses.

I highly recommend these guys first class work and an excellent team. On time as promised and very respectful in all ways.
I rarely leave feedback on these forums, but these guys really deserve it. Our kitchen tiling and painting was done to an excellent standard. Our decorator put dust sheets on everything, taped up areas so nothing was painted that shouldn't have been. He hoovered, and placed everything back that he'd moved at the end of each day. He even sent us photos of progress! Would highly recommend and be happy to ask them to come back in the future. Thank you!
Sisi Property Ltd came to tile my shower at the drop of hat. First impressions were that they seemed a little slow, it quickly became apparent that they were in fact perfectionists.The end result was genuinely outstanding and I am delighted with their work. True craftsmen.They took their time because they were meticulous; not slow.The job manager was excellent, polite and friendly; and while the tilers were brilliant, I'd suggest John learns 'hello', 'thank you' and how to crack a smile though ;)

5. Daniel Matsunaga
"It was just a rumor" said Kris. Although Daniel has transferred to the Kapamilya network, ad there might be a possibility of them secretly dating, Kris stressed that they were not. It was in 2013 when the rumor spread out. On an interview, Kris clarified that her dating Matsunaga never happened, and that the rumor should die. Daniel, however, has no take or official statement about the issue. Today, Daniel is very much in love with his girlfriend, Erich Gonzales.
6. Derek Ramsay
It was in 2014 when speculations about Kris and Derek went up. Kris has posted a lot of cheesy stuff on her Instagram account tagging Derek. It said on the caption that Kris is open about having a second chance at love, thanking Derek for being there for her all the time, and sweet stuff like that. Derek responded to the posts which were later on deleted by himself. It was never clarified if they were really official. On an interview with Derek, he said that he cannot be with Kris because he considers the latter a very good friend and he cannot let that jeopardize their friendship. Now, Derek is romantically involved with someone named Joanne.

Two vie for Wilmington Selectboard seat
WILMINGTON >> A three-year seat on the Selectboard is up for grabs and two guys are feeling up to the task.
Vince Rice, born and raised in Wilmington, also lived in Burlington, Florida and Cape Cod, Mass. He came back in the early 1990s and has served on the Planning Commission for about three years.
Running for Selectboard, he said, seemed "just kind of the next logical step."
"One of the reasons I joined the Planning Commission was to learn more about the whole process of local government and, I would imagine by extension, state government. But the real reason is to learn about it and help out," Rice said. "I know some people I talked to said they could really use some help on the Planning Commission so I said I would give it a shot and try to help out and do my part."
Rice plans on being honest, saying he's going to speak his mind while trying to do the best job possible. His running of two businesses at the same time, he said, should help in the budgeting process.
"I know if you don't have the money, you really shouldn't spend it," he said. "I know governments of all levels like to overspend."
When Jake White announced he wasn't going to seek re-election, Rice said he decided he would try to help out a little more. He thought having some experience on the commission could be of use.
Rice is no stranger to the "hoops you got to jump through" in the town planning process; there's drafting ordinances, presenting those documents then approving and adopting them. Besides satisfying individual citizens' concerns, there are also the legal requirements. The commission also acts as a party to local projects during state permitting hearings.
"It's pretty intense," said Rice.
Hoping to offer another perspective to the Selectboard, he said he is looking to make the entire situation better if he can. That means addressing the "appropriate growth" of the economy, and attraction or retention of residents and businesses.
The former Twin Valley High School building "needs some resolution," Rice said, noting the increase of drug issue in town but acknowledging it's no different throughout the entire East Coast.
As a bus driver for The Moover, Rice has heard a similar refrain.
"Many different school kids talk about Twin Valley and how other schools are better," he said.
He wants to see if he can help improve that as he hears people are moving to other towns for educational opportunities.
Revenue from the town's 1 percent local option tax, according to Rice, should be prioritized and go to what is needed most.
"If we're stuck with it, we might as well use it," said Rice, who says he'd like to see repairs of some stone walls around town. "Regardless of what it is, I don't think it (1 percent tax) needs to be limited to something like say sidewalks or strictly beautification. If there's a genuine need for a little financing, I think we need to use it to help people. Using it to help the town is great but it can also be used to help people."
Jamie Brunn, owner of Wellman Farm since 2001, said he would have been a resident sooner but the tax situation made it compelling to stay in New York. He previously lived in Suffern, N.Y. He is a member of the Deerfield Valley Rotary and has worked with Deerfield Valley Community Cares.
"We've been in the valley for almost 20 years," he said. "I saw the way the valley was being developed with tens of millions of dollars pouring in. I'd like to see it done in a very sustainable manner. But I don't want to inhibit any job growth. I think we can work together."
Brunn expects his background — 20 years in banking, another 20 running his own company and working with non-profit organizations — combined with his desire to be a concerned citizen will help in making important decisions.
"We live in a very special area. I want to keep it economically strong and maintain a tight-knit community but without sacrificing our beauty," he said. "I'm good with numbers and economic decisions. I think I can get along with my four other Selectmen well."
Brunn is putting job creation at the top of his priority list, saying a lot of two or three-day-a-week jobs are being counted as full-time ones. He would like to see a program in which people looking for work could add their names to a list then a supervisor, perhaps the town's economic development consultant Gretchen Havreluk, would facilitate placing people in positions at valley resorts. The names on the list would be kept confidential, he said. Besides helping Mount Snow and the Hermitage Club with finding employees, the program would be a way to keep track of how many local people are being hired and the duration of their employment.
"We're not asking them to hire local people," said Brunn. "We're just trying to make it easier and quicker instead of putting ads out. We'll get people over there in 15 minutes."
In addition to jobs, Brunn's focus is on getting better fiber optic Internet service in town. He said it will help create a lot of jobs and also help mom and pop shops grow. More telecommuting can be done, too.
Existing services are not efficient, according to Brunn, and they are expensive.
"If we build good infrastructure I think more people will come," he said, adding that people wanting to extend their weekends may stay longer with improved service. "I'm a little disappointed with Fairpoint, Sovernet and VTel. They had all gotten huge grants five or six years ago and that money has really just gone into thin air."
While acknowledging the task may be difficult, he pointed at a Federal Communications Commission fund called Connect America where a potential 30 percent grant could help establish a fiber optics system.
In keeping with the character of the town, Brunn said he would like to try and hold the line on taxes for senior citizens and farmers. He also sees many people in the valley working two to three jobs to make ends meet.
"We have to push back on Montpelier and not always be dictated by them," he said.
Brunn said he is very much in favor of the 1 percent local option tax and believes it should go towards building infrastructure and helping local businesses, not reducing taxes.
"Nobody will move here if we don't have proper infrastructure," he said.
The former high school building could be used for private operations to help build the tax base, Brunn said, but it could also be used as a public place. His ideas included using it as a space for senior citizen programs or hosting small individual workforces within the different rooms, which are currently unoccupied besides the Windham Southwest Supervisory Union's office.
"At the end of the day, it needs to be voted on by the public," he said of the school, aware there is already a feasibility study underway.

Super League preview: Castleford Tigers v Hull FC
Jacob Miller could make his Super League debut for Hull FC as they travel to face Castleford Tigers on Friday.
Last Updated: 21/06/13 7:47pm
The talented half-back looks set to feature at the Wish Communications Stadium after joining his new team-mates earlier in the week following his signing from NRL side Wests Tigers.
The 20-year-old comes highly rated and will be welcome relief to Peter Gentle's squad as they look to bounce back from defeat against Catalan Dragons without captain Gareth Ellis.
Ellis hobbled from the field in the latter stages of England's victory over the Exiles on Friday having picked up a back injury and Gentle has opted not to risk either the back row or fellow international Tom Briscoe with the season climax fast approaching.
"I'm in a position where I don't have to play them if they're not 100 per cent. We've got a 10-day turnaround after Castleford and whoever misses this game will definitely be right for the following week against Wakefield."
Prop Mark O'Meley returns following a hamstring strain as fellow front rower Josh Bowden is left out of Gentle's 19-man squad.
Meanwhile Tigers' new signing Ben Davies could also make his bow in front of the cameras following his release from Widnes Vikings last week.
The inclusion of 23-year-old Davies means young prop Dan Fleming, who has featured in Castleford's previous three outings, is excluded.
Head coach Daryl Powell is looking to power in the forward line as the Tigers look to find form after suffering a 42-24 defeat to Leeds Rhinos in a West Yorkshire derby two weeks ago.
"Davies brings aggression, go-forward and he's got a good skill set - all those things are much needed in the pack," he said.
"Young Dan Fleming has been in and has done a really good job, but there are times when you need to bring a young lad out of it and he'll learn from the experience."
Davies is the lone change to Powell's match-day squad as the Tigers look to avenge a run of five consecutive defeats at the hands of the Black and Whites.
Castleford Tigers: Owen, Shenton, Dixon, Chase, Ellis, Walker, Clark, Huby, Hauraki, Millington, Milner, Massey, Holmes, Thompson, Tansey, Clare, Martin, Boyle, Davies.
Hull FC: Arundel, Crookes, Crooks, Galea, Green, Holdsworth, Heremaia, Houghton, Johnson, Lineham, Lynch, McDonnell, Miller, O'Meley, Pitts, Watts, Westerman, Whiting, Yeaman.

Great experience with Dr. Herrera.
I appreciated Dr. Herrera's ability to speak to a patient in layperson's terms. Ordinarily, I would expect a specialist of his caliber to have a snooty attitude, but this is not at all the case with Dr. Herrera. Although he is a consummate professional, he has an easygoing demeanor. This comes across loud and clear as evidence of his concern for his patients. I am now two months out of a hip labrum repair arthroscopic procedure, and I can say that I am glad to have chosen Dr. Herrera as my surgeon. Recovery was a breeze.

Compassionate Educated Informative
Reading the other comments made m what to send my own critique. I have had several appts with Dr.Herreras Office. Only once was the wait extraordinarly long, however it was a holiday week and I was fit into the schedule last minute following my MRI. Parking was costly but then again is that his choice? The Kendall office is free parking. I was there to see the physician and as far as that goes my expierience was brillant. He was informative, sympathetic and took his time with me. I am happy to give him two thumbs up. Deal with your lack of patience and he was worth it.

wonderful doctor and very caring
I fell and fractured my right shoulder. When I went to he ER and had it xrayed, it was found that I had to have a replacement. Dr. Herrera was completely honest about my recovery. He was so caring. My office visits have been the same. I would recommend him completely.He is a wonderful human being - all doctors should be so kind and capable.

Best Orthopedic Doctor in Miami
Dr. Herrara operated on my broken left knee. Dr. Herrera was about as pleasant a doctor you could ask for. Genuinely a nice person who actually cares for his patient. He listens to all your questions and answers them thoroughly. Post surgery, he returned my phone call within five minutes. He spent ten minutes answering all my questions and never rushed me. All doctors should be like Dr. Herrera. In addition to how wonderful Dr. Herrera was, the staff at Baptist Hospital (Kendall) was just as fantastic. Very caring staff, superb nurses who treated you as if you were the only patient they had to care for. I can only hope any further medical procedures even provide even a fraction of the level of service and care Herrera and his team provided me. Thank you Dr. Herrara, you are an angel.

The A-Team
Nicotine is classified as a poison in Australia — except the nicotine in combustible cigarettes, that is. Possessing it without a prescription is illegal, and that's made vaping a fairly hit-or-miss enterprise. Legal vendors sell zero-nic e-liquid exclusively, and vapers order nicotine from outside the country to mix themselves. Naturally, this has led to relatively low uptake of vaping by smokers.
However, there has been some outcry in recent years and because of that, and due to e-cigarettes being a generally hot topic everywhere, the Australian Intergovernmental Committee on Drugs commissioned a review on Australian e-cigarette policy last year. They chose a team of "experts," a group both curious and expected.
Terry Barnes of the Institute of Economic Affairs, a British libertarian think tank, described the review team in a blog post:
Simon Chapman needs no introduction. The goateed guru of tobacco control, media public health go-to person and spare-time Twitter troll is no friend of harm reduction, being stridently protective of his patch. He has picked fights with, and ridiculed, pro-vaping research, researchers and advocates from the Lancet and British Medical Journal to social media.
Project lead Becky Freeman is his protégée and self-described "established authority on the potential of the internet to circumvent tobacco advertising laws". Blyth O'Hara is an expert on physical activity, nutrition and obesity, who has tweeted enthusiastically in favour of a sugar tax on the poor.
Scott Walsberger "leads a passionate (NSW Cancer Council) team to reduce the burden of tobacco on the people of NSW". Bill Bellew boasts of his "Leadership…in capacity building for evidence-informed policy around the spectrum of public health issues…through tobacco control and other population health strategies". Adrian Bauman is a "world-leading" obesity expert with strong World Health Organisation connections.
And James Kite is NSW president of the Australian Health Promotion Association which, in its submission to the Leyonhjelm Nanny State inquiry, said: "Based on current evidence, it appears as though E-cigarettes are harmful (though not as harmful as tobacco cigarettes), are attractive to younger people, and have more of a 'gateway' effect (introducing young people to tobacco smoking) than a quitting effect." His views seem pretty decided.
Simon Says No…to Vaping
Simon Chapman has been a thorn in vapers' sides since…well, forever. A mainstay of the Puritan prohibitionist branch of tobacco control — the biggest branch, exemplified by Stanton Glantz — Chapman has made enough reckless and irresponsible statements about e-cigs that there could be no doubt where he would stand on the issue. Which raises the question, why would anyone seeking objective information choose him to provide it?
Well, they wouldn't. No one would choose Chapman unless they had already decided they wanted a hatchet job. As Barnes says, "The health department chose its team well if its agenda is to suppress e-cigarettes and vaping." The government picked a group of anti-nicotine, anti-vaping zealots, and no one should be a bit surprised at what is produced by them. Chapman has certainly never been shy about his opinions on vaping — or vapers.

— Simon Chapman AO (@SimonChapman6) May 4, 2016
They created a discussion paper to be used in the course of closed (of course) consultations, which has been leaked and can be seen now by anyone. The title of the paper alone — Options to minimise the risks associated with the marketing and use of electronic nicotine delivery systems [ENDS] in Australia — gets the point across nicely. They have no intention of letting anyone get in the way of their tobacco "endgame," or even allowing vapers to have a modest say in their own futures. In fact, no vapers were asked for their opinions at all.
The review is still in progress, which makes it a tad inappropriate that Prof. Chapman has decided to abandon all pretense of objectivity and simply publicize his opinions on the topic preemptively elsewhere. In a commissioned editorial in The Medical Journal of Australia, he (along with friendly fellow prohibitionist "experts" Martin McKee and Mike Daube) shows all the signs of a man who has already made up his mind, and doesn't care who knows it.
"Public Health England extensively promoted a message that e-cigarettes were "95% safer" than combustible cigarettes,6 a claim based not on empirical evidence but upon a single reference to a meeting that was attended by researchers who were mostly known supporters of e-cigarettes, and partially funded by an organisation with links to the tobacco industry." That's Chapman's deceitful description of the 2015 Public Health England review. Does that sound like an objective voice, ready to carefully review the evidence on vaping?
As Terry Barnes writes, "Professor Chapman is entitled to his on-the-record views, and to advocate them as he sees fit. What he has done, however, is pre-empt the conclusions of the expensive policy review of which he is a part, and presumably is the driving force. That is very unfortunate. That taxpayer-funded policy review, and any claims for its impartiality and open-mindedness, have now has been fatally compromised and, as for the consultations with invited experts that have been going on for some time, why on earth is the review team bothering if they've already decided what they'll recommend?"
What can vapers do to help now?
Join the NNA! Australian vapers need to get serious and get organized. The good people at the New Nicotine Alliance-Australia are doing their best. They have gotten attention and made strides, but they need money, and they need members. Fighting an entrenched tobacco control industry is going to be a long struggle, especially since Australian tobacco control essentially has the government wrapped around its fingers.
Help Vince! There's also a sad job that vapers need to finish in Australia — and vapers everywhere in the world can help with this. After his house was raided by the authorities in 2011, Vincent Van Heerden was convicted in 2014 in the state of Western Australia of selling vapor products — not because they contained nicotine, but because they looked like cigarettes. Sounds funny, and it would be if it weren't absolutely true. According to ABC, "the court ruled e-cigarettes not containing nicotine still breached the tobacco control act, which prohibits any 'food, toy or other product' that looks like a cigarette or cigar."
He appealed his conviction, and after two years the appeal was finally denied. He is now on the hook for court costs and legal expenses that he cannot possibly afford to pay. Nor can he continue to appeal the case without substantial additional funds. At this point, in fact, an appeal is probably out of the question.
He's just trying to prevent the state from taking his house.
Vince stood up for vaping like few ever have. He gave everything to fight the ridiculous laws in Western Australia, and now he's struggling to avoid being bankrupted and destroyed. There's almost no one reading this that couldn't afford to send something to this guy who's given everything he has to help smokers and vapers, so let's help out and spread the word.

Davies thanks Robson
By Paul Higham
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Curtis Davies is hoping to repay West Brom's faith in him.Curtis Davies is hoping to repay West Brom's faith in him after they splashed out a club record fee on him.
Albion boss Bryan Robson has taken a £3 million gamble on the 20-year-old defender after prising him away from Luton Town on transfer deadline day.
Davies is delighted the Premiership side had enough faith in him to splash out big money to bring him to The Hawthorns - and hopes to prove Robson was right to sign him.
"I knew what money Luton wanted for me and a lot of clubs weren't willing to pay it," said Davies.
"A lot of clubs kept saying 'keep us informed' but West Brom were the ones who were willing to put their money down and take a chance on me.
"The fact West Brom were willing to pay what they did shows they've got faith in me.
"I aim to repay that faith on the pitch."

Theatre programme specialist John Good has invested £500,000 to establish an in-house digital operation.
Over the past few months a Kodak Nexpress SX2700 digital printer, a Duplo iSaddle stitcher, a Duplo DC-646 slitter-cutter-creaser and an Autobond laminator have been installed at the Coventry-based company's 2,230sqm premises.
The firm said that the new equipment will make it more economical to produce significantly lower volumes, which will enable it to produce work for an increased range of customers.
John Good operations director Simon McKay said: "We were previously sending digital work out but we've now brought it in-house.
"Our core business of programme work requires short runs, and it's more efficient to do this digitally than it is to do on our litho machines.
"The new kit has given us the ability to turn work around more quickly and we've also now got a more multi-skilled team so we're seeing the benefits of work getting converted more quickly."
The Nexpress SX2700 has replaced a four-colour Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 75 litho press, which was sold on. The firm still operates a four-colour Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 105 and a 10-colour Heidelberg Speedmaster 102 on its litho side.
The business has also invested in Infigo Software's Catfish MegaEdit platform, which will soon enable it to offer a basic web-to-print service for theatre programmes alongside items such as postcards, leaflets, compliment slips and booklets.
John Good has around 130 staff, working across three sites in Coventry, London and Oxford, and a turnover of just over £11m. Its clients include individual theatres and theatre companies across the UK.

Fermin Ordoñez is a cab driver in New York, a former baseball player and a Cuban defector.
After defecting from Cuba, Fermin played professional baseball but a torn ligament ended his career. He worked hard as a cab driver over the course of several years to accumulate $40,000 and went to Mendoza, who had helped him defect, to get his wife and son out of Cuba. However, Mendoza told him that the price had gone up and that he could get only one of them out not both. Fermin left dejected.
To come up with the money, Ordoñez sold a laptop left behind in his cab by Vadim Pushkov. It contained the Homeland Security Automated Identification Database that Pushkov was going to sell to the Estonian mob. However, the information on the laptop would become useless if its existence became public knowledge, so the Estonians began eliminating all possible witnesses starting including Fermin, but Reese rescued him and Finch was able to recover the laptop.
Reese then sent Fermin to Carter. She helped him cut a deal with Agent Vickers, who was looking for the laptop. In return for the laptop, they brought his wife and son to New York.

Lou Ye
With all the talk about how his latest film, Spring Fever, will be received by mainland authorities, Lou Ye seems remarkably unfazed. 'I'm still quite free to be here, aren't I?' he says in Cannes, where the film will be screened in competition as part of the French city's annual film festival.
Or maybe it's going to be deja vu again. Lou was barred from making films for two years after he screened Suzhou River at the Rotterdam Film Festival in 2000 without clearing the censors; he was then hit with a five-year ban in 2006 when he brought his last film, Summer Palace, to Cannes without getting approval from the authorities.
It's hardly a surprise that Summer Palace gave Lou a rough ride: the film was partly set in Beijing during the pro-democracy summer of 1989.
Spring Fever - a co-production between a French company and the new Hong Kong subsidiary of Lou's Beijing film company - contains vivid sex scenes between its gay protagonists, in a story about two love triangles when a man leaves his wife or girlfriend to be with another man. Even without the ban, Lou would have found it difficult to get official approval for his film as it touches on homosexuality, which remains largely a no-go area for the culturally conservative apparatchiks in Beijing.
How is the underlying creative motive behind Spring Fever different from your previous films? I just want to tell a love story - it's the same as before. This time I want to tell a modern-day story which has some sort of a link with history - just as you can see, the [Chinese] film title takes its name from [a 1923 story by Chinese writer] Yu Dafu. My two previous films have been linked with things past: The Purple Butterfly is set in the 1930s, while Summer Palace is about China in the 1980s.
I wanted to tell a story which, like Yu's, looks at individuals, not just ciphers, such as good and bad people, gay and straight people - the film is not meant to be like that; it's to begin from a more human perspective. And it's about how different human beings conduct their lives in a state of freedom.
Do you think the country is freer than, say, in the times of The Purple Butterfly or Summer Palace? Of course it's freer than in the past. But our modern times also have their share of problems. And a major problem is how people do not confront issues from an individual point of view. People tend to be worried that if they tell a personal story [in their artistic work], it would be wrong. There's a period in modern Chinese history in which the individual gave way to the collective - but maybe it's not just China, maybe it's happened around the world. Just like how people are seen as leftists or rightists - probably what it's like here in France. It's not always that clear-cut.
So you are suspicious of all these labels on people? I don't like it when people attach terms to others before they even try to understand the people they are talking about. For example, if you were to dub me a 'banned director', I would be very annoyed.
But a lot of people do perceive you through the prism of your run-ins with the government. I feel especially bad about that. [The attention] is not what I wanted - what I have wanted from the start is to make movies.
So a lot of problems remain on the mainland for directors, don't they? Of course there are problems, but it's about how we face them. For example, the way the authorities unleash these bans on filmmakers, it's against the Chinese constitution.
How do you deal with it? I just want the freedom to make films my own way. I don't have plans to do anything and I can't change the situation. I'm just a film director and I just want to make my own films. Have you been in talks with the authorities about your predicament? We have had conversations about this. For example, on November 13, 2003, a group of independent filmmakers held talks with film officials about our concerns - it's just that nothing was followed up from that. And I tried to communicate with them myself, but they just cut off the dialogue by banning me from making films.
I don't have time to struggle with them about such things. I'm just a director and I don't have control over a lot of things. I believe a director should have the right to make the films he wants - if he can't, then there's a big problem there.

Best Internet Game Reviewersgunsnroses
The Contenders: Page 3
Johnny Millenium and Rob Man are great, enthusiastic people. I love watching them talk about their games, even if their reviews are not particularly informative. - Maplestrip
He deserves respect
One of the only honest reviewers ever, and gamings greatest hope at future quality control. Simply Hilarious, Entertaining, Honest and Unbound by bias. He understands the gaming industry's BEST and WORST aspects, and his Thumb up/Thumb down system, as we all know, is tried, true and, with his meaty explainable usually faultless. Only one close to him is Joe, well worth a watch
Why isn't he number one? Like what the actual!
What about Sega? The Genesis wipes the floor with the SNES in every way except for the controller and graphics.
Short Reviews and he doesn't make them anymore but still very funny to watch
The best that IGN had to offer.
These guys are very good at giving objective and fair reviews of various video games (99.8% Nintendo). I prefer to go to them then the dark alleyway of scum and villainy that is Gamespot *shivers thinking about them*. GameXplain is also a lot better than IGN
Terrible Old Games You've Probably Never Heard Of
Not really a reviewer but when he does give his thoughts on a game, nobody is funnier than the great Seanbaby.
One of the most underrated reviewers og all time, goes into insane amounts of research in his videos to bring videos that no one has ever covered before and is hilarious to boot!
