Windham considers funding for proposed town water study in Exit 3 corridor
With the Interstate 93 widening project , along with the new Route 111 overpass, expected to be completed over the next several years, development around Exit 3 is expected to increase rapidly. Last month, the Convenient MD urgent care clinic opened near the exit, and other development projects are in the works.
The town recently adopted ordinances to protect the local water sources at Cobbett's Pond and Canobie Lake. Robert Young, chair of the town's Economic Development Committee, said the water study would be a vital step in the committee's mission of promoting growth, generating positive tax revenue and maintaining a welcoming environment for new businesses.
"We believe water is very important for future economic development," Young said, noting that extended town water would be needed to expand fire hydrants and other necessary safety items.
Ralph Valentine, who chairs a subcommittee tasked with studying existing infrastructure and future needs, said, "It's really not feasible to think that over the next 20 years we can develop this area using sprinkler systems supported by wells alone."
Valentine said the area in question spans "about 400-600 acres."
"There isn't much capacity left. But we understand opportunities for water come from several sources, including (the towns of) Derry, Hudson and Salem," he added. "The question is how much water do we need before we begin to build it out."
The water study, estimated to cost $30,000, would determine options for supplying public water to the general area, utilizing existing water sources and estimating peak usage.
Developing the area in question could generate over $7.5 million in annual tax revenue, according to Valentine's estimates.
"The driving force of water is life safety," Valentine said. "But we realize that getting money for the study from the upcoming budget would be difficult if not impossible."
Selectmen agreed that the item is work talking about but more research and discussion needs to take place before any decisions are made.
"This is not something that's going to happen overnight," Selectman Kathleen DiFruscia said. "We need to approach this carefully, with input from the Planning Board and the Conservation Commission."
Planning Board member Ruth Ellen Post admitted "the need for additional water might be a reality," but stressed that more feedback was needed when it comes to Valentine's proposal.
"We need to work with the fire department to determine if there's a safety issue," Post said. "And right now, not a hint of this proposal has been brought to the planning board. We haven't had the opportunity to discuss this and the public has been out of the loop on this."

It's not often that the home crowd rains boos down on a member of its team at the end of a blowout victory. But apparently, when free food is on the line, all bets are off.
Just ask New Orleans Hornets forward Lance Thomas, he understands all too well.
With 11.6 seconds remaining and the Hornets leading the Portland Trail Blazers 98-63 Wednesday night, Thomas stepped to the line with an opportunity to make two free throws and reward the fans in attendance with free McDonald's fries. Unfortunately, his first shot fell short, and the boisterous crowd quickly turned on the affable former Duke star.
"I really didn't know what I was shooting for until I missed the first one," Thomas said. "I look up, and I was like, 'OK, it's the 100 free-fries night.' So I put a smile on my face and I was like, 'I blew it,' and everybody was a little upset with me. But I'm one of the guys that's staying here through (NBA) All-Star weekend so I figured this would be a great thing to do."
Not wanting to send New Orleans fans into the All-Star break empty handed, Thomas took to Twitter to announce a tasty mea culpa.
403 Forbidden
As promised, Thomas came strolling through the McDonald's doors at 711 Canal, where he was greeted by a hoard of fans anxious to snap a photo, secure an autograph and, of course, grab their fries.
Unlike like the previous night, though, the jeers turned to cheers as Thomas shelled out $104.70 on 60 medium orders of fresh golden French-fried potatoes.
"I think this is absolutely outstanding," McDonald's regional supervisor Jada Smith said. "Our owner/operator, and all of the employees are all Hornets fans, so we are very proud of that. ...Go, go, go Hornets!"
Though he wasn't one of the fans that participated in the Wednesday heckling, Hornets season ticket holder Mark Lister said he was more than happy to collect his prize.
"When everyone started booing, I obviously realized why and got a big chuckle and kick out of it — as it appears Lance did also," he said. "It was all in good humor, though. People get pretty hyped for the giveaways.
"I always liked (Thomas) a lot...But he's like now, tops in my book — a real stand-up guy."

West Virginia State University has fired 10 employees and is considering more cost-saving measures.
School officials announced the layoffs earlier this month and also eliminated 15 already vacant positions.
WVSU spokeswoman Kimberly Osborne said the terminations are a direct response to a budget summit held in November that recommended several ways the school could cut costs and generate revenue.
One of those recommendations was, in the words of the budget summit, "potential personnel adjustments to ensure greater efficiency and effectiveness of university operations," and is the cause for the terminations, Osborne said.
"This is the first look at this efficiency. There are other efficiencies that may result in — and may impact — how our staffing is going forward. But this is what is happening now," Osborne said.
WVSU currently employs about 340 faculty and staff members, with a student population of about 2,500.
The budget summit included WVSU administrators, faculty, staff and students, Osborne said.
Other recommendations include renting campus space to outside businesses, reducing energy and paper record-keeping costs and combining various departments within the university to eliminate redundancies.
WVSU is not facing a budget deficit but is trying to be proactive, Osborne said, pointing to a decrease in state and federal funding for higher education.
The state's higher education budget was cut by 3.75 percent this year.
"This was a very difficult decision, and the university has really weathered some challenging times. But that's not different than any other university across the country," she said. "This budget year makes it the third consecutive year where [WVSU] has had a reduction in financial support from state and federal government.
"We need to figure out where are we and what we need to do to remain sustainable," Osborne said. "This is a situation where we know we have to grow. It's not a situation where you reduce costs and address the problem. You have to grow."
WVSU announced the layoffs in a news release dated Aug. 6, but the release was not actually sent to members of the media. Osborne said the release was "made available to media upon request." In the release, President Brian Hemphill says that while state funding has decreased, the school's fixed costs have remained the same, and staffing levels have remained steady over the past decade.
Hemphill also emphasized that student recruitment is a top priority.
The school welcomed a record number of freshmen last year, but overall student enrollment has drastically decreased in the past decade.
"To provide the best research and teaching environments, West Virginia State must evolve. We must decrease our fixed and operating costs, allowing us to continue providing access and opportunity, while maintaining the high-quality, affordable education that State provides and our students expect," Hemphill says in the release. "Moving forward, we will remain dedicated to fiscal responsibility, accountability and transparency by continuously studying and adjusting our path."
Osborne said some recommendations are still being studied and some are already being carried out.

TPWD News Release — Feb. 9, 2004
AUSTIN, Texas Imagine a plan that lays out where Texas needs to be in 10 years regarding land and water conservation and recreation—that means everything from providing great hunting, fishing and birding to protecting the resources that make those activities possible.
Now envision an organization of about 3,000 people that is gearing up to make sure this plan becomes reality, to make it a living document that is revised and fine-tuned to reflect changing situations, to make sure it isn't just another fat stack of pages sitting on a shelf.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is working to make its Land and Water Resources Conservation and Recreation Plan a tactical plan that guides day-to-day operations. The plan was published in 2002 and created by TPWD partly in response to direction from the Texas Legislature. The plan's seven fundamental goals affect all Texans who depend on the state's natural and cultural resources for livelihoods or life-affirming experiences.
"I take the plan seriously," said Joseph Fitzsimons, TPW Commission chairman, after commissioners were updated Jan. 28 about what TPWD is doing to implement the plan.
"If there's something in the plan that we're not going to do, we should change it. Those seven items are what we're testing our progress against. Every time I see an item come before us, I want to see it tested, 'Is it improving outdoor access, is it improving fishing,' and so on."
Below are the seven goals, plus examples of progress made on each.
"Improve access to the outdoors by opening a minimum of four, 5,000-acre or larger state parks near the major urban centers." Planners view this as a long-term goal, one that may take the full 10 years to complete. The reality is there is not enough money in state government right now to buy big chunks of land near urban areas. Nevertheless, progress is being made. One successful model is Government Canyon State Natural Area near San Antonio, where partnerships with local government, other agencies and nonprofits have added 1,162 acres in the last two years, boosting site acreage to 8,201.
"Manage and operate a complete system of state historic sites and address the highest needs for historical interpretation by developing up to three new historic sites." The Levi-Jordan Plantation project near Houston will be the first state historic site to focus mainly on the African American experience. The site was purchased in 2000 and planning is now ongoing, although additional funding is needed to finish the project.
"Increase support for water and wildlife conservation and increase public recreation opportunities on private land." With wildlife biologists who offer free guidance to landowners in every Texas county, the Wildlife Division has increased the landscape under wildlife management plans from 9.7 million acres in 2001 to 14.5 million acres in 2003 — a 49 percent increase. More landowners involved in active habitat conservation usually means to increased public hunting and fishing opportunities. Other efforts are underway to open up new public opportunities, including a multi-million dollar series of wildlife driving trails that support landowners getting into nature tourism. Also, the Texas Land Trust Council supported by TPWD now coordinates the activities of 39 non-profit land trusts in Texas, protecting nearly 1.3 million acres.
"Maintain current levels of hunting and fishing license sales by recruiting new participants." The 7th Governor's Hunting Heritage Symposium, which was held in Houston last December brought state and national attention to this issue. Dozens of TPWD programs in multiple divisions are doing youth outreach events such as Texas Wildlife Expo and the Texas Youth Hunting Program.
"Improve fishing in inland and coastal waters by determining long-term maintenance requirements of all fish hatcheries." The Texas Legislature aided this effort by requiring a new $5 freshwater fishing stamp of all anglers starting this September. Money from the temporary, 10-year stamp would be earmarked specifically for fish hatchery renovations and repairs.
"Improve scientific data collection by undertaking a complete review of all TPWD science and conservation programs." Various efforts are meeting this goal, such as the Wildlife Division consulting with the Wildlife Management Institute, Coastal and Inland Fisheries dealing with the American Fisheries Society and the Resource Protection staff turning to the National Academy of Science for peer review and advice.
"Maintain sufficient water to support the needs of fish, wildlife and recreation by providing the best information available and working closely with other state agencies." It may be listed last, but this goal is by no means least, and all TPWD field divisions are gearing up to focus on water resources. Land and Water Plan implementation is aligning strategic planning along river basins for the first time. TPWD leaders are directly involved. Fitzsimons sits on a new legislative study commission which is charged with looking at water for environmental flows. TPWD Executive Director Robert Cook is on a state water conservation task force that recently proposed a $10 million public awareness effort.
"We want this plan to be relevant to our day-to-day work," said Scott Boruff, TPWD deputy executive director for operations, who is leading plan implementation efforts. "We want employees in Austin and in the field to use this as a guiding document as they make plans and budget decisions."
The department is planning 10 focus groups with employees and a larger meeting with outside constituent groups to get input about how the plan should be updated to reflect current events. By November, which will mark two years since the plan's creation, a revised plan will be presented to the TPW Commission for approval.
The current plan is on the Internet (http://tpwd.texas.gov/plan/). Anyone with questions or comments may write to Land and Water Resources Conservation and Recreation Plan, 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, TX 78744.

How's that feel ...
to to the NBA ... again, again and again?
By Rick Stansbury
Bob Leverone/TSN
Mississippi State coach
There's not another school in America that has lost three high school players who were eligible to the NBA draft. I've got more experience at this than I want.
It first happened to me with Jonathan Bender in 1999, my first year as head coach. That one was like cutting my heart out for about two weeks. He was a kid who, since he was a ninth grader, I spent every hour of every day thinking about. I'd just gotten married that year, and it's amazing: I'd go to bed and fall asleep thinking about Jon Bender. As a young head coach, you knew the impact he would have on your program.
Until he had that great performance in the McDonald's game, breaking Michael Jordan's scoring record, there had been no one talking about him going pro. It just snowballed after that game.
Once you've had experience with one, probably the second one doesn't hurt quite as much. But it still hurts. Travis Outlaw is from Starkville, a kid who'd been around us since he was in sixth grade. I had no idea this young man would get drafted. We thought he had a lot of potential but still had to learn skills. I was totally shocked. With Monta Ellis this year, it wasn't until late in the process that we figured he'd go. He would always tell us if he wasn't a lottery pick, he was going to college. Last year was the first year there were guards taken that high, and Monta's only 170 pounds. We really felt like he wanted to play, not just be content to sit and get paid. He really wanted to make a name for himself in college, then go in as a lottery pick.
We've managed through all those. Somehow, some way, we've found ways for our program to still win championships. Naturally, with them we might have won more.

My mother`s period has stopped for a year now, but recently she has started to get occasional spots of bleeding when she goes to the toilet. Is this anything to worry about?
There may be several possible sources for the bleeding, including irritation of dry skin tissue with toilet paper, but if the bleeding is coming from the vagina, she should probably be seen by her gynecologist to determine the exact source.

By Ricardo Ajpuac, CFCA staff member in Guatemala
A group of 134 mothers are helping CFCA sponsored children in the Guatemalan community of San Lorenzo, San Marcos, write letters to their sponsors.Many of these mothers were only able to complete the primary level of education. Only a few were able to study in middle school.
ìI only studied up to fourth grade where I learned to read and write, and now I am putting that into practice," said Ilcia, one mother. "Although I cannot write very well, I want to help.î
Mothers have used this as an opportunity to feel significant and involved with their community.
After CFCA staff members explained more about how to write a good letter, moms now meet in advance to plan all activities on the day of writing letters to sponsors.
Each sponsored child has two notebooks. One is for writing the letter draft, and here the mothers can make observations and corrections.
The other notebook is for writing the corrected letter. This second booklet also keeps records of all the letters that the sponsored child has written.
In addition to notebooks, the children come prepared with pencils, pens, pencil sharpeners, crayons, etc.
Every child comes to a mother's home according to previously arranged schedules.
Mothers welcome the children to a place already set up with wooden chairs and tables so they can sit and write their letters.
Every mother provides personal attention to every child, answering questions, comments, corrections, etc. Each sponsored child receives a tasty snack at the end of the activity.
Each mother attends to a group of 10, 15, or 25 children; all the children live close to the chosen motherís home.
Before the mothers' help, staff would stay two and a half days in a community addressing a group of sponsored children with their letters.
Now letter writing is done in a single day or a few hours.

Topic: CLEAN SCAN
Hi all. Again, I have been off the site for the most part. I finished chemo and with my last infusion dose lowered I am already starting to feel better. I also had my second scan since my surgery in January and first scan since chemo. My oncologist told me that it looked "pristine." She said I am "comfortably in remission." Not only that she said I can get my port out as soon as possible. I left the office crying. Part of me and I have mentioned this before, feels somewhat bad for posting good news as I wish everyone was able to be cured or in remission from this cancer. At the same time I hope some find it a hopeful and inspiring story. This time last year I was told I had a 18cm tumor and that surgery would most likely never be an option. I can't believe that it has already been a year and so much as happened within this last year at times it's still shocking to me. Thank you for all the continued support and I am grateful for all of you, this site has been an amazing support and resource for me since I registered last year. Hugs an blessings to all.

1Material and Production Engineering Department, University of Naples "Federico II", Naples, Italy
Glass products are widely diffuse in the everyday reality. An interesting glass application field, from a technological point of view, is the transportation area. The automotive industry always needs for more complex shape of windscreen in order to satisfy the request of new design. In the paper, a "common" windscreen forming process, for automotive application, is described. The results of a preliminary study, on the forming sheet glass process, are here shown. A first optimization step, in order to reduce the forming time, is also introduced.

A federal appeals court in San Francisco has refused to reconsider a landmark ruling that struck down California's ban on same-sex marriages.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Tuesday a majority of its actively serving judges had voted not to revisit the 2-1 decision by a three-judge panel of the court declaring the voter-approved ban unconstitutional.
Backers of the ban, known as Proposition 8, opted in February to petition the full 9th Circuit to review the decision instead of appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Same sex unions briefly were legal in California before voters passed Proposition 8 in November 2008.

Stay Short or Stay Away
It is a struggle to get a rally going. After the sharp drop last week, some rebound is to be expected. So far, it looks extremely difficult, which suggests underlying selling pressure that has not been satisfied. Nevertheless, a bounce to the 1405-1410 area of the S&P 500 would be normal and unless it went further, it would be a kneejerk reaction to last week's drop. That is what I am looking for here, but I am not willing to try to buy such a small and brief potential rally.
I am bothered by the fact that the Volatility Index has not reflected a substantial increase in the fear level, in spite of the sharp decline. That says the selling has not yet reached a painful enough level to bring in indiscriminate liquidation. We usually need that to end a slide. In the meantime, the Arms Index numbers have not become oversold enough to be a buy signal yet, either. My suggestion is to stay short or stay away for the time being....255 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Risk wrote:Will the Fuse when thrown flat flip and start tracking to the right (RHBH) or does it need a little anhyzer release angle?
It will flip maybe 1-2° from flat and track right EVER so slightly. The thing is, its subtle enough that when it does it for me it could be ME releasing with 1-2° of anhyzer.
This is not a disc you throw like a driver, ever. I treat this like I would a putter, its all about finesse and accuracy. It really is laser straight with the littlest of fade.
I threw my Fuse on a 250' or so hole that makes a very sharp arc to the left. If you stand on the tee pad facing forward, then turn about 70° to your left you can make the basket out through the tree's. The whole left side is a wall of woods that arcs right to the pin. The right side is completely open, so you can play the hole forward out into the open and throw a long return, or you can try to play the curve. I decided to try something different since I had the fuse. I gave it about 35° of hyzer and threw an air bounce. BAM. Right off the side of the basket. With enough height I'm almost wondering if I would have curved it all the way back to me. The lift this disc gets is incredible.

Torrealba hopes to stick in reunion with Rockies
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Many around the Rockies believe it's more than a coincidence that their 2007 World Series trip and their return to the postseason in 2009 occurred with Yorvit Torrealba as their primary catcher.
Some club officials have privately said it was a mistake to let Torrealba -- a firebrand who stands out on a reserved roster -- leave as a free agent after the 2009 season. He joined the Padres in 2010 and helped them to unexpected contention before they fell short. Torrealba also made a World Series trip with the Rangers in 2011.
Now Torrealba, who bounced to Texas, Toronto and Milwaukee last season, has a chance to reunite with the Rockies and hopefully help with a turnaround. Torrealba, 34, is back with the club under a Minor League contract.
"I didn't want to leave in the beginning," Torrealba said. "I decided I wanted to be back here, hopefully end my career here.
"I missed these guys, too. Keep in mind they're awesome in this clubhouse -- [Todd] Helton, 'Tulo,' [Troy Tulowitzki] all the guys, 'CarGo' [Carlos Gonzalez]. But I've got to make the team."
The Rockies have back their two catchers from last season, second-year man Wilin Rosario and veteran Ramon Hernandez, as well as versatile infielder Jordan Pacheco, who caught on a few occasions last year and is in camp with the catchers now.
Rosario's power has made him the incumbent starter, but he struggled defensively and that could reduce his playing time behind the plate. An increased number of Interleague games could allow the Rockies to use him as a designated hitter at American League parks.
Hernandez faces durability questions after missing considerable time last year with left hand and left hamstring injuries, and Pacheco could be needed at his other positions. If Torrealba plays well in camp, it could open the possibility of trading Hernandez to fill other needs.
If Torrealba makes the Rockies, he will have to become accustomed to the backup role. In between the team's playoff appearances, Torrealba battled shoulder problems and Chris Iannetta took over as catcher in 2008. The Rockies' original plan under then-manager Clint Hurdle was to move Torrealba to a backup role in 2009, but after Jim Tracy took over as manager, Torrealba played his way into the starting role.
"Obviously, you're getting older, you don't move the same, you don't hit the same, all you can do is just teach young guys -- that's how you become as a backup catcher," he said. "I never consider myself a backup because I really believe I can do the job playing every day. But there's going to be a year where I have to do it, no matter what. Maybe this is it, this is the year to do it."

DETROIT -Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder's new international bridge to Canada.
During the past two years, Detroit International Bridge Company owner Matty Moroun has spent millions of dollars to do what he can to prevent that bridge from being built.
More: Detroit-Canada bridge
The Michigan Campaign Finance Network waded through documents in Lansing and put out a breakdown of Moroun's spending.
Last year, the DIBC spent $6 million to prevent a legislative vote on a new bridge and, in fact, succeeded to that end.

However, when Snyder did an end-around the legislative and didn't ask for Michigan money and instead signed a deal with the Canadian government for it to pick up $500 million in costs, he allowed Michigan to qualify for federal matching funds.
Between Memorial Day and now, Moroun spent another $3.4 million campaigning against the new bridge. He also ran ads under the group The People Should Decide, spending about $60,000.
Michiganders also saw a commercial supporting the bridge. It was thought the Michigan Building and Construction Trades Council backed that commercial though the documents trace back to a Lansing law office. That campaign spent just more than $250,000.
Research shows Moroun has spent about $9 million all together on the effort. He is planning to spend more.

KINGSTON, N.Y. -- Ulster County Executive Michael Hein on Wednesday accused Legislature Chairwoman Terry Bernardo of "political games" by voting against a proposed agreement between Ulster and Dutchess counties that could save each county thousands of dollars in attorneys' fees.
The proposal failed, in a 3-3 vote, to make it out of the Legislature's Law Enforcement Committee on Tuesday. Bernardo, R-Accord, voted against the measure as an ex-officio member of the committee. Also voting against it were Carl Belfiglio, R-Esopus, and Richard Parete, D-Marbletown.
Under the plan, each county would provide a public defender to the other in instances in which their own public defender has a conflict of interest in representing criminal defendants. Currently, counties pay between $60 and $75 an hour to outside attorneys who provide that service. In 2011, Dutchess' "assigned counsel" costs totaled $2.54 million, while Ulster's were $1.35 million.
The resolution before Ulster County legislators would have moved $113,000 from the county budget from assigned counsel to the Public Defender's Office to hire and pay for benefits for a public defender who, in addition to regular duties within the office, would provide defense services as needed in Dutchess County Court and Poughkeepsie City Court. Dutchess County would provide defense services to Ulster County in County Court, Family Court and Kingston City Court.
Hein has said that even with the cost of an additional public defender, the 11-month pilot program would save Ulster County about $182,000 in 2013. Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro said Dutchess would have roughly $135,000 in savings.
In a press release, Hein called Tuesday "a bad day for the taxpayers of Ulster County" and said Bernardo was playing "political games" by "purposely blocking an innovative shared-service agreement."
Legislature Majority Leader Kenneth Ronk, who sponsored the measure, said he was aware Bernardo "had concerns" but was� surprised the resolution was defeated.
"One of the biggest issues I have had since I've been a legislator is the exorbitant cost of assigned counsel," said Ronk, R-Wallkill. "We've tried different ways of addressing (it). ... The county executives of Dutchess and Ulster seem to have worked out what, on its surface, is a pretty good pilot program on assigned counsel."
In an audio recording of Tuesday's meeting, Bernardo can be heard saying she found it "odd" that the county was hiring a new public defender when they had just "terminated" someone else. She said the terminated employee told her he was let go as part of the reorganization of the Public Defender's Office.
Deputy County Executive Robert Sudlow on Wednesday said the new position is in addition to the vacant position. He said the proposed $72,000 salary for the new position is higher than some others in the office because of the additional duties and expertise required for the new position.
It is unclear whether the Law Enforcement Committee's rejection of the shared-service plan will keep the measure off the Legislature's January agenda.

According to Airbus Military officials, the A330 Multi-Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) has won all the recent competitions for a large aerial tanker because of its superior airframe, coupled to a unique, high-technology refueling system. "We're very proud of our in-house boom," said Peter Scoffham, vice president for defense capability marketing. "EADS took a strategic decision to develop it," added Miguel Morell, head of military derivative programs.
Both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have ordered A330 MRTTs–six and three, respectively–that will use this boom for refueling the U.S.-designed aircraft operated by their air forces. The aircraft will also have a pod under each wing, newly designed by Cobham, for the hose-and-drogue refueling of their European fighters. Five aircraft in the same configuration are to be delivered to launch customer Australia starting next year, while the UK is to receive 14 aircraft also equipped with the wing pods, but with a centerline hose-and-drum unit instead of the boom.
Development of the boom started at the EADS-CASA facility at Getafe near Madrid in September 2001. Starting with a "clean sheet," designers opted for an all-electrical, fly-by-wire system. Among other advantages, this provides automatic alleviation of aerodynamic loads via the ailerons on the boom, and for an automatic disconnect if the boom is operated outside the design envelope.
An advanced, high-definition video system was developed, so that the boom operator has an unequaled view of the refueling operator, who is sitting in the cockpit. A combination of 3-D and panoramic cameras are housed at the rear of the fuselage and their product is displayed on the operator's console on four screens, including a large one that provides stereo imagery of the boom and the fuel-receiving aircraft. A second operator console is provided alongside to be used by a refueling instructor or a mission coordinator.
The company built an iron-bird test rig at Getafe in 2005, which included a mockup of the F-16 refueling receptacle. An adjacent systems integration laboratory proved the boom control and video systems. The whole system took to the air first on an EADS-owned A310 demonstrator. A variety of hookups were demonstrated, including Portuguese F-16s, Spanish F-18s, and NATO and French E-3 AWACS. In 2007, Airbus delivered two A310 MRTTs to Canada and four to Germany.
Conversion of the first A330 began in 2006 when the first aircraft for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) was delivered to Getafe from the production line at Toulouse. After the structural reinforcements were completed in one of three large new hangars built at the Spanish airfield, this aircraft was shown at the Paris Air Show in 2007. After that, Airbus conducted a first phase of flight testing comprising 213 hours on 67 flights.
The tests evaluated the changes in the A330 aerodynamic characteristics caused by the boom, the pods and their extended hoses, and by the various additional fairings for the cameras, defensive aids and military communications.
Since early 2009, Airbus Military has logged a further 150 hours on 57 flights on this first A330 MRTT during the Phase 2 flight tests. Dry hookups have been made with various aircraft, and the military avionics are being activated.
The Phase 2 tests have included deployment of the boom and hoses, and dry contacts for the A330 MRTT to receive fuel from the A310 MRTT demonstrator and from a KC-135. And, on October 21, refueling was executed for the first time through the refueling boom system with more than 1.5 metric tons of fuel being transferred during 13 contacts with a Portuguese air force F-16. Certification of the modified A330 airframe to the civilian standards of the European Aviation Safety Agency is imminent. Morell estimated that 50 to 70 more flights would be required before the aircraft can be delivered to the RAAF in the middle of next year.
A second A330 was converted by Qantas Aviation Services in Brisbane and flew, on October 28, to the Airbus Military facility in Getafe, where it has joined the first for a final series of flight tests. Two days later, on October 30, it was joined by a third A330, which will undergo further modifications before joining the certification and qualification flight program. The fourth and fifth aircraft are to follow next year.
The first two aircraft for the UK Royal Air Force are now being converted at Getafe. The remaining 12 are to be converted at Cobham's Bournemouth facility in southern England.
This model of doing the first conversions at Getafe and the remainder at an MRO in the customers' country can be applied to other customers. The first aircraft for Saudi Arabia is to arrive at Getafe for conversion this month, with the remainder to be completed at a yet-to-be-announced location in the kingdom. The UAE has opted to have all three aircraft converted at Getafe, for reasons of speed. But Scoffham revealed that the UAE may come back for more tankers and they might be converted by Mubadala.
Other near-term prospects for the A330 MRTT include France, which has mulled acquiring its next tanker using a private finance model. The UK opted to do this, but took six years to negotiate and finance the plan. The French are therefore having second thoughts, but whatever procurement method they finally adopt, the French "will definitely hold a competition," according to Morell.
Scoffham said the worldwide market for new tankers is 40 to 50 more, not including the U.S. "I'm optimistic that we'll get all of them," said Morell. Airbus Military is in discussion with Brazil, Korea, Singapore and other countries for orders, he said. Australia could reorder, he noted, but it might opt for a main-deck cargo door, which none of the existing A330 MRTT customers has specified. But the large cargo door is being developed and certified for the commercial A330-200 Freighter, which is due to fly by the end of this month.
The U.S. Air Force did specify a main-deck cargo door and the KC-X requirement remains the big prize for EADS-Airbus, of course, albeit via prime U.S. contractor Northrop Grumman. It remains to be seen how the Pentagon's new competition will evolve.
But Airbus Military sees no need to change its basic marketing philosophy. The A330 "was born to be a tanker," according to Morell, because the outer wing pylons and support structure for the refueling pods were already there–they were designed for the A330's four-engine sister ship, the A340–and because no additional fuel tanks need be installed. The A330 has a fuel capacity of 36,700 gallons, all carried in the wings. That is 50 percent more capacity than that of the KC-767s sold by Boeing to Italy, which have additional belly tanks, said Scoffham. And with development of the A330 MRTT approaching completion, it is way ahead of any possible 777 tanker that Boeing might propose for KC-X, he added.

Alamo Bowl Bowl: Texas (8-4) vs. Oregon State (9-3)
When: Dec. 29
Where: San Antonio
Time/TV: 6:45 p.m. ET, ESPN
Oregon State coach Mike Riley engineered quite the turnaround in Corvallis this year, leading the Beavers to a 9-3 record and No. 13 ranking in the BCS after sputtering to a 3-9 mark in 2011. The receiving tandem of Markus Wheaton (1,207 yards and 11 TDs receiving) and Brandin Cooks (1,120 yards and five TDs) are the focal points of a pass offense that ranks 15th in the country. For Texas and coach Mack Brown, there's a sense of urgency. If the Longhorns lose to the Beavers, it will be their third consecutive season with at least five losses, the first such stretch since they went 16-16-1 from 1991-93. There's simply too much talent on this roster to have such inconsistent efforts—good wins at Texas Tech and Oklahoma State, but noncompetitive losses to Oklahoma and Kansas State in which they gave up a combined 105 points. The Longhorns also have to figure out which direction to go at quarterback, with either Case McCoy or David Ash.
NFL prospect to watch: Alex Okafor, DE, Texas. At 6-5, 265, he is the classic all-around end, as his power helps him to be effective as both a pass rusher and run stopper. He should cement his status as a mid-first-rounder.
SN's pick: Texas. It won't be easy for Oregon State to come into Texas' backyard—it's a really big backyard, folks—and escape with a victory against a team that has the talent edge and something to prove.
Instant replay: Last year's Alamo Bowl, which featured Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III, set NCAA bowl records for combined points, touchdowns and yardage in a regulation game. Baylor and Washington combined for 1,397 total yards in a 67-56 shootout.

Two days from now some of Georgia's top targets will compete at Dawg Night in
Sanford Stadium. Last year's event was a success as the Dawgs received two
commitments and sent out a number of offers that resulted in commitments. This
year will likely see a new batch of offers go out as well. But how do the
coaches decide which players to offer?
Well, the coaches rely in part on
scouting reports from recruiting services. Over the last three years, Georgia
has spent
$118,256 on
video services, analysis and statistical information on prospects.
We thought it would be interesting to see what one of these services thought about the Bulldogs' most recent signing class. We asked Derrick Crudup, the CEO of Cast Sports, if he would forward UGASports his
analysis of the Dream Team members. Here
is the final part of his breakdowns of the class of 2011. All of the heights,
weights, positions, ratings and comments are taken directly from Crudup's files.
According to Crudup, "Offer if Must" is a note to coaches
telling them to offer the player before they see the recruit in camp in order to
not be left behind other schools. In other words, a camp performance is
not necessary to offer this prospect since he is talented enough to offer sight
unseen. Of course that is only if the school needs a player at that position.
Derrick Crudup was an All-American quarterback at Boca Raton High where he was recruited to play quarterback at Florida in 1983 by Mike Shanahan. Crudup later transferred to Oklahoma, playing under Barry Switzer where he won a National Championship in 1985. Shanahan once again came after Crudup and drafted him to the Oakland Raiders in 1988. In 1993, Crudup went back to Florida to coach high school football at Deerfield Beach, Boca Raton, Spanish River, and Pompano Beach. He coached more than 12 years as a defensive and offensive coordinator.
Crudup coached 10 NFL first-round draft picks. His son Derrick Jr. was recruited to play quarterback for the University of Miami. Derrick Jr. was a member of the 2002 National Championship. The Crudups hold the distinction of being the only father and son tandem to have won the National Championship in Division 1 College football history.

As I was getting ready to go back into work Thursday, I checked my phone and saw a text message from my sister that said, "No biggie, just saw DG."
I knew exactly what she was talking about. I felt my face burn up; I covered my mouth so I wouldn't scream and looked around to make sure no one saw my reaction. I was excited for her and resented her. A few minutes later, she sent me a blurry photo taken with her phone and my heart practically melted into a puddle. Filled with joy and jealousy, the only response I could come up with was a text message that didn't have any real words, just a series of random letters all capitalized.
She saw Dave Grohl's keynote speech at South by South West in Austin, Texas.
Grohl is the lead singer for the band Foo Fighters and former drummer of the legendary band Nirvana. He is also a member of Them Crooked Vultures, a super-group with Queens of the Stone Age front man Josh Homme and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, and has collaborated with several other bands.
During his professional music career that now spans more than two decades, he's racked up a number of Grammys and quite a few other awards.
Most importantly, he was my ultimate middle school crush.
As a teenager, I loved him because of his music and generally goofy demeanor.
By all accounts, Grohl is a rock star and refers to himself as such, but never seems to take himself too seriously.
He is the first to make fun of himself, and the music videos for the Foo Fighters are known to be characteristically silly. Grohl and band mates have dressed in drag for several videos.
I still enjoy his music and admire his drive and independent attitude.
When he was young, Grohl was influenced by many punk bands and he carries the music's spirit with him today.
Now in his 40s, Grohl encourages younger musicians to follow their passion and emphasizes staying true to who you are.
He sends the message that people should make music they like, even if it's not the most popular sound, and never to let rejection deter them from their dreams.
"There is no right or wrong, there is only your voice," Grohl said during his keynote speech. "It doesn't matter. What matters most is that it's your voice. Cherish it. Respect it. Nurture it. Challenge it. Stretch it. Scream it until it's gone, because everyone is blessed with at least that, and who knows how long it will last."
It might be directed toward musicians, but the statement can be applied to anyone in many aspects of life.
I can't sing to save my life, but what I take from it is people should value and challenge themselves and be thankful for what they already have.

Confident Lincecum focused on first start
LOS ANGELES -- On the eve of the first start of what promises to be an extremely important season for him, Tim Lincecum felt eager to prove himself.
Lincecum's bent on showing the baseball world that he's not the pitcher who finished 10-15 with a National League-worst 5.18 ERA last year. Though a blister on his pitching hand and bad weather disrupted his Spring Training preparation, the Giants right-hander felt upbeat about starting Wednesday night's series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
"I'm going in with a level head," Lincecum said Tuesday. "I've got a lot of optimism right now. My confidence is high, which is good. I'm just really excited to see what happens."
Manager Bruce Bochy considers 2012 an aberration for Lincecum, an outlook that's easy to maintain at the start of a fresh season.
"It's a new year," Bochy said. "Let's see what happens this year. That's how he has to look at it."
Because Lincecum's performance last year contrasted so sharply with the excellence he displayed while winning NL Cy Young Awards in 2008 and '09 and contributing heavily to the Giants' World Series triumph in 2010, observers tend to hold him to a higher standard. But when asked if he felt as if he's "on trial," Lincecum dismissed that notion.
"Because, obviously, my biggest judge is myself," he said. "With that, I'm going to be a little bit more pressing on myself. You have to learn to be forgiving as well, so you can move on from that."
Each game Lincecum pitches will bring him closer to the free agency that he'll qualify for at the end of the season -- another reason his efforts will be carefully scrutinized. But Lincecum denied that he's thinking about what the future has in store for him.
"It's really hard for me to do that," he said. "I've always been a guy who's focused on the year at hand."

The infant Antonio Zaino was born on July 24, 1874 at 6 P.M. in the house located on Contrada Boschi (in Santo Stefano del Sole). The informant, his father, was Pasquale Zaino, the son of Antonio Zaino, age 27, a tenant farmer. His wife, the infant's mother, was Catarina Fiore, the daughter of deceased Stefano Fiore.
Witnesses to the declaration of the birth, and presentation of the infant, were Antonio Luciano the son of Angelo Luciano, age 26, a tenant farmer, and Carmine Fiore, the son of deceased Vitantonio Fiore, age 48, also a tenant farmer.
Re: Birth Record Translation
Thank you very much for your help. Also, do you think that Carmine Fiore might have been related to Catarina Fiore?

It's difficult to say. On marriage records, witnesses are often produced by the groom and bride and may be relatives or at least people known to them. On death records, informants are sometimes relatives and their relationship to the deceased may or may not be stated in the record. On birth records, however, they may just have been individuals who served as witnesses at the town hall and had no relation to the parties involved. Their fathers had different names, so possibly their fathers were brothers, but I don't know how common the surname Fiore was in the town. If a common surname, it may just be a coincidence that the surname of the one witness is the same as the mother's. Only further research on your part might answer this question. Also, if you can view the records that preceded and came after this one, you may find that the witnesses were the same, and therefore were just individuals who hung around the town hall and served as witnesses as needed.
Re: Birth Record Translation
Thank you for all of the helpful information.

Hey guys, i posted these over at DGCR but i was told i could get more pointers here.
Ive only been throwing RHBH for 2 months now, i average 310-335' maybe.
Main trouble areas what have already been said are: Bad timing, no forward weight transfer, disc isnt close enough to my nip.
Couple of those turned over on me, which is what im having the most trouble with lately. The good throws S'ed out at about 320-340'.
And heres where i was last week before i got some advice on DGCR. My weight is all on my back foot and my reach back is pretty weak.
Let me know if you notice any improvement between the two.
Edit: o ya, and another thing someone pointed out to me today, I grab the disc with my left hand on the reach back.. I dont see pros doing this and maybe this is limiting my reach back since i cant reach back as far with both hands as i can with one... Correct me on this if need be.

And if the "good ones" are like Teebirds or Firebirds, then they aren't a disc that was worth re-inventing the wheel for, since we already have them.
My Volt is better than a TB or EX, hands down. It could easily replace either one of those, yet could not itself be replaced by either.

Topic: Second Surgery Possible?
I recently joined this website and I am trying to find some help for my 56 yr old uncle. He was diagnosed with a Klatskin's tumor in January 2004. He had a resection - no lymph node involvement, clean margin in the liver but not into the duct going into the pancreas.
Post surgery, he elected to take alternative therapy (vitamin C infusions, diet, etc.) and has had a great quality of life until recently. He was admitted to the hospital with high fever/shakes and back pain. Tests revealed a duodenal ulcer (they couldn't do a biopsy) but they couldn't find any source of infection to explain the fevers (I suspect tumor fever). Scans also revealed a soft tissue mass near the portal vein and initial assessment is that it is a likely recurrence of the CC and not operable. Chemo and radiation are the only treatments offered to date - both of which he is not willing to do.
He is now at home on daily IV antibiotic infusions (he had a port put in so he can go back on Vitamin C after the course of antibiotics is complete).
I'd like to be prepared to get a second surgical consult for him as I think this is the only treatment he'd be willing to consider. Do anyone know of any surgeons who have dealt with recurrence such as this?

One thing NASCAR fans have learned about new Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski this year is that he has a sense of humor.
That made him a perfect fit Tuesday night when he delivered the Top 10 List on The Late Show with David Letterman.
Keselowski even got to deliver a joke when he was introduced. When asked by Letterman how team owner Roger Penske was doing, Keselowski said, "He's doing great. He sends his condolences, I mean congratulations, to Larry King's wife."
When asked if Penske comes to the track, Keselowski said, "Absolutely, you can't get Roger away from the racetrack. He loves it. … Yeah, it is a problem."
— Keselowski on the rise; Jimmie Johnson slips | New breed of champion
When asked if Penske comes to the track, Keselowski said, "Absolutely, you can't get Roger away from the racetrack. He loves it. … Yeah, it is a problem."
Keselowski was a natural when doing the Top 10 list, delivering his lines smoothly. He even correctly pronounced the word "existentially" and kept a straight face when saying "crippling ass cramps."
Here's Keselowski's "Top 10 Signs You're Not Cut Out To Be A RaceCar Driver:"
10. You're only in it for the intensely vibrating seat.
9. You've always felt that passing other cars is rude.
8. Terms of your parole won't let you leave Delaware.
7. All this week, you've been stockpiling Twinkies.
6. Friends know you as "Mr. Motion Sickness."
5. You're existentially opposed to the starting line and finish line being the same line.
4. You know what "existentially" means.
3. You don't like to be rushed.
2. You can't even handle high-speed Internet.

LOS ANGELES—Once the official put the ball into play, this thing never was close.
In a battle of improbables, No. 9 Wichita State outclassed No. 13 La Salle, 72-58, in the second West Regional semifinal Thursday night at Staples Center in front of a crowd that mostly bailed after Ohio State dramatically beat Arizona on a last-second 3.
Clearly, it wasn't into a matchup of Davids.
But this hardly looked like two underdogs slugging it out. This was the Shockers playing bigger and tougher than undersized La Salle. The mismatch was clear in the box score and likely left plenty of people wondering how the Explorers managed to beat Boise State in a play-in game, fourth-seeded Kansas State and No. 12 Mississippi to advance to the Sweet 16.
Wichita State outrebounded La Salle, 43-22, including the offensive rebound battle, 15-5. It also outscored the Explorers in the paint, 40-26.
The Shockers started the game on a 14-2 burst and led by 16 at halftime. The lead was pushed to 22 in the second half, but the Explorers managed to piece together a 10-0 run four minutes into it. A Ron Baker 3-pointer at the 14-minute mark put an end to that run, and La Salle never got closer.
Wichita State now moves on to face second-seeded Ohio State in the Elite Eight on Saturday.
