2,400 people arrived by sea and 1,100 by land this month. The shortage of accommodation countrywide has led to overcrowding in some mainland sites while in Lesvos, Chios and Samos, 11,400 live in centres intended for 5,100. Many sleep in makeshift shelter while the high, summer temperatures increased hardship particularly for the vulnerable. Overcrowding and limited services increase protection risks.

I had Pepsi Next in the USA two years back as it was made differently with some of the ingredients being HFCS, asuflame potassium(Ace K), aspartame, Sucralose and Calcium Disotium EDTA. The Canadian Pepsi Next new formula deletes those ingredients and uses: Carbonated water, Sugar, Caramel Color, Phosphoric Acid, Natural Flavours, Caffeine, Stevia Extract. It tastes so great and better with zero aftertaste. It's in 20oz bottles, 12pack cans and soon 2L bottles.

The Audacity to Hope (1990)
"It's easy to hope when there are evidences all around of how good God is. But to have the audacity to hope when that love is not evident—you don't know where that somewhere is that my grandmother sang about, or if there will ever be that brighter day—that is a true test of a Hannah-type faith. To take the one string you have left and to have the audacity to hope—make music and praise God on and with whatever it is you've got left, even though you can't see what God is going to do—that's the real word God will have us hear…" READ MORE >
Gloomy Conservatives:The right wing is properly blaming itself for the fix it's in
"Why, I heard people ask again and again, had the [Christian] leaders not led? Why, if they had as much influence as everyone supposed they did, had they brought us still one more time to the point where everyone had to rehash the rights and the wrongs of voting for 'the lesser of two evils'? …I have no doubt the leaders of the religious right will be unified in their opposition to this fall's Democratic candidate. I have grave doubts whether those same leaders will any time soon be able to offer credible credentials for positive endorsements of almost any kind." READ MORE >
The Mideast's epitaphs of death and the duty to remember
"I think it is our duty as Christians, whether lay people or clergymen, to have the courage to remember history under any latitude in order to promote reconciliation and build it on more solid foundations... I wish to remember what happened in the streets of Beirut in 1982 when Italy's Bersaglieri force arrived following the massacres in the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila. Colonel Franco Angioni, who was in command of our soldiers at the time, asked Shia Muslim and Phalangist Christian leaders to order their men not to go around armed in the area under Italian control. The leaders of the various factions refused. A few days later Angioni had a group of Phalangist militiamen arrested and disarmed. News about what happened spread immediately, especially in Shia and Sunni areas. 'Italian soldiers have arrested Phalangists, Christians,' Muslims said. 'They did it even though they too are Christian; these soldiers tell the truth; they don't want to disarm us to favour our adversaries.' After this episode, filled with tension and disbelief, Shia militiamen and Phalangists stopped showing their weapons in those parts of Beirut under Italian control. That early action kept the peace for some time..." READ MORE >
Catholic College Leaders Expect Pope to Deliver Stern Message
"School presidents insist that truth-seeking is part of their institutional purpose. 'Every university is committed to the pursuit of truth,' said Georgetown President John J. DeGioia, 'and we want to ensure that there is the opportunity for both academic freedom and for the free exchange of ideas and opinions across all issues.' But David Gibson, the author of a Benedict biography, said the pope will ask, 'If you're not going to be an authentically Catholic, orthodox institution, why should you exist?'" READ MORE >
An interview with Chris Hedges: "I don't believe in atheists"
"…Not believing in sin is very dangerous. I think both the Christian right and the New Atheists in essence don't believe in their own sin, because they externalize evil. Evil is always something out there that can be eradicated. For the New Atheists, it's the irrational religious hordes. I mean, Sam Harris, at the end of his first book, asks us to consider a nuclear first strike on the Arab world. Both Hitchens and Harris defend the use of torture. Of course, they're great supporters of preemptive war, and I don't think this is accidental…" READ MORE >
The Wire's War on the Drug War
"Jury nullification is American dissent, as old and as heralded as the 1735 trial of John Peter Zenger, who was acquitted of seditious libel against the royal governor of New York, and absent a government capable of repairing injustices, it is legitimate protest. If some few episodes of a television entertainment have caused others to reflect on the war zones we have created in our cities and the human beings stranded there, we ask that those people might also consider their conscience. And when the lawyers or the judge or your fellow jurors seek explanation, think for a moment on Bubbles or Bodie or Wallace. And remember that the lives being held in the balance aren't fictional."

Recovering a Sense of Women's Dignity
"During the late 20th century feminists had a golden opportunity -- not easily recreated -- to address women's needs in the world. As the decades passed, it became clear these women were too easily derailed by the "dream of power," too disdainful of God to reach ordinary folk, too fearful of acknowledging common sense, and too willing even to harm the vulnerable, notably through abortion. As a result, their organized influence waned tremendously. The longing for women's equality and dignity lives on, but more in the hearts of individual women than in a larger group likely more capable of demanding some of the structural changes women need."

Is abortion for sex selection on its way out?
"Two and a half billion people live in China or India. That's eight times the population of the United States and more than one-third of the world's total.

Those practices may be on the way out..." READ MORE >
Admiral William Fox: The Man Between War and Peace
"...while Admiral Fallon's boss, President George W. Bush, regularly trash-talks his way to World War III and his administration casually casts Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as this century's Hitler (a crown it has awarded once before, to deadly effect), it's left to Fallon--and apparently Fallon alone--to argue that, as he told Al Jazeera last fall: 'This constant drumbeat of conflict . . . is not helpful and not useful. I expect that there will be no war, and that is what we ought to be working for. We ought to try to do our utmost to create different conditions.' What America needs, Fallon says, is a 'combination of strength and willingness to engage.'" READ MORE >

Asked by a voter in late January if the new advances might cause him to reconsider his stand on President Bush's stem cell funding policy, Senator McCain replied, 'I have not changed my position yet.' It is time he did." READ MORE >

ITC Bookman® font family
Designed by Edward Benguiat in 1975
Benguiat developed a full family of four weights plus complementary cursive designs. This was the first time that true italics were available for the Bookman design. All previous versions merely had obliqued roman characters. Benguiat also drew a suite of swash and alternate characters for each of the members of the family. Most phototype foundries of the time incorporated these characters into their fonts, and graphic designers began using them in everything from airline ads to record covers.
When digital replaced photo as a typesetting technology, these special characters were left out of the fonts. While most phototype display fonts could have virtually unlimited character sets, the first digital fonts could not. The ITC Bookman special characters went the way of Disco.
Today's OpenType technology has allowed us to release a complete version, named ITC Bookman by ITC, offering the full breadth of Benguiat's design - which means all the original swash and alternate characters. In addition, ITC Bookman by ITC is a brand-new, re-spaced, re-kerned, and refurbished typeface family. We went back to the original art and created the best-possible digital versions of these designs. ITC Bookman by ITC's dateless charm and communicative power is back in full-force."

Benjamin Heywood (1746-1816), son of Phineas, a prominent Shrewsbury farmer, served an apprenticeship to a housewright and ran his own carpentry business for a year or two, until he decided to prepare for attending Harvard in 1771. At the university, where he excelled in math, Heywood joined fellow students in the Marti-mercurian Band, which eventually, with other troops, fought the British on April 19, 1775.
Heywood soon joined the army, rose to Captain in 1776, and was appointed paymaster, attached to Col. Nixon's regiment. At the war's end he was appointed to a committee with General Henry Knox and Col. Brooks to recommend measures to appease disgruntled soldiers whose pay had been postponed. He also served on a committee to adjust the accounts of the Massachusetts officers and soldiers. In this capacity he negotiated with the Legislature and prepared long reports.
After the war, Heywood returned home to Worcester and married Mehitable Goddard, adopted daughter of Nathaniel Moore, an early settler of Worcester. William Lincoln notes in his 1862 History of Worcester that Benjamin Heywood's "activity of disposition and facility in business enabled him, in addition to the management of a farm, to devote much time to the concerns of his neighbors and to public affairs. The reliance on his integrity and good judgement was testified by frequent selection as arbitrator, executor, and guardian." In 1786 he took the deposition of Clark Parker for Col. Eben Lovel; on June 18, 1789 he was appointed for the Reference between Marshall and Harrington; on October 4, 1803, he appraised David Stowell's estate for Nathaniel Stowell.
Heywood was appointed Judge of the Court of Common Pleas in 1802. He served until 1811 when, in a judicial reorganization, the seats in that tribunal were vacated. He was also an acting magistrate of the county, a member of the Board of Trustees of Leicester Academy, an elector of the President and Vice President of the United States twice, a trustee of the Hassanamisset Indians, and an officer in many charitable and religious associations. He died in December of 1816, at the age of 70.
17 small daybooks documenting the civic and farming activities of Benjamin Heywood. Indicated are which animals were put into which pastures on what date; which pastures were leased to others; the names and terms of indentured laborers; the dates when skins were sent to Captain Palmer Goulding to be tanned; and the sale/exchange of agricultural products. One of Heywood's frequent customers was the noted printer Isaiah Thomas; others included William Eaton, Nathaniel Stowell, Ithamar Smith, and Jonathan Rice. There are also indications that Heywood owned land in Sutton and Westminster in Massachusetts, and in Ohio. In July of 1802, he notes, "Paid Col. Clap for taxes on my Ohio land." The daybooks include references to Heywood's brothers Phineas, Timothy, and Seth, as well as Heywood's son, Nathaniel Moore Heywood, and Doctor John Green. Two of Green's daughters married Heywood's son, Benjamin Franklin Heywood, in succession.

Leeward CC Associate Professor Kay Ono wins national award
Ono recognized for her outstanding contributions in teaching businessLeeward Community College

Posted: Apr 29, 2011
Kay Fujimoto Ono, associate professor of business technology at Leeward Community College, was presented the highly competitive 2011 National Business Education Association Post Secondary Teacher of the Year Award in Recognition of Outstanding Contributions in Teaching Business.
Ono, a Leeward CC faculty member since 1995, was honored at an awards banquet was held at the 2011 National Business Education Association (NBEA) Annual Convention in New Orleans, La., on Friday, April 22, 2011. Well over 1,500 business educators from the U.S., Canada and other nations attended the convention.
"We were ecstatic to hear the news about Kay! We all know what an extraordinary educator she is, and this national award just confirms it," said Business Division Chair Shelley Ota. "This is not an easy award to get, and culminates years of dedication to business education.

Kelly Osbourne is known for having a punk rock look and for changing her appearance to suit her moods. The 'Fashion Police' host and famous daughter of Sharon and Ozzy has been rocking lavender locks for the past few months and now she is showing off an edgy, razory punk rock 'do.
Osbourne now has semi-Skrillex hair, with the shaved underside. Her coif actually looks more like what Demi Lovato recently did to her hair.
She posted the shots from an impromptu photo shoot on her Instagram, which is where all the cool photos go to get exposed. Osbourne had been rocking a shiny, pale purple bob with bangs, one that framed her face. Her bangs look more blunt and the shaved action on the side elevates the cut to a whole other level.
So it's not just her crazy color that makes her stand out. It's that daring cut. Not everyone can pull it off, but Kelly can! She just went through a breakup, ending her engagement to fiance Matthew Mosshart at the top of the year. It's been a few months, so she can now do something drastic, like change her hair or get a choppy cut like this. They say it's best to wait and not do a chop RIGHT when you split with your significant other and Kelly waited a good three months before rocking this coif.

One thing I thought about including, but couldn't figure out how to fit in, was that Russ's marvelous story "The Clichés from Outer Space" predicted one of the elements of Bryan Vaughn's comic Y: The Last Man (a series that I must admit I only read the first 3 collections of, its virtues utterly lost on me). In the comic, the Daughters of the Amazon are a bunch of evil, man-hating lesbians who cut off one of their breasts to be able to shoot arrows better or something, which is what some folks have said the actual Amazons did back in the day (the myths are contradictory). It's possible that this noxious stereotype is ironized and deconstructed later in the series; I didn't stick with it long enough to find out.
The relevant passage from Russ's story is one I quoted only a sentence of in the column. It's from the section called "The Turnabout Story, or, I Always Knew What They Wanted to Do to Me Because I've Been Doing It to Them for Years, Especially in the Movies":
Four ravaging, man-hating, vicious, hulking, Lesbian, sadistic, fetishistic Women's Libbers motorcycled down the highway to where George was hiding behind a bush. Each was dressed in black leather, spike-heeled boots and carried both a tommygun and a whip, as well as knives between their teeth. Some had cut off their breasts. Their names were Dirty Sandra, Hairy Harriet, Vicious Vivian, and Positively Ruthless Ruth. They dragged George (a little sandy-haired fellow with spectacles but with a keen mind and an iron will) from behind the bush he was hiding in. Then they beat him. Then they reduced him to flinders. Then they squashed the flinders to slime. Then they jumped up and down on the slime.Etc. It's great stuff. A first version of the story was published in the April Fool's Day issue of The Witch and the Chameleon in 1975; an expanded version appeared in Women's Studies International Forum in 1984, and then was collected in The Hidden Side of the Moon in 1987. Y: The Last Man began publication in 2002.
"Women are better than men!" cried Dirty Sandra.
"Lick my boots!" cried Hairy Harriet.
"Drop your pants; I'm going to rape you!" cried Vicious Vivian in her gravelly bass voice.

Exhibit 99.1
Saratoga Investment Corp. Declares $4.25 Dividend Per Share
NEW YORK, N.Y., November 9, 2012 Saratoga Investment Corp. (NYSE: SAR), a business development company, today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a dividend of $4.25 per share payable on December 31, 2012 to common shareholders of record on November 20, 2012. The dividend will be paid in cash or shares of the Companys common stock at the election of the shareholders, although the total amount of cash to be distributed to all shareholders will be limited to approximately 20% of the total dividend to be paid to all shareholders. The remainder of the dividend (approximately 80%) will be paid in the form of shares of the Companys common stock. This dividend is being made in accordance with certain applicable Treasury regulations and private letter rulings on cash/stock dividends issued by the IRS over the years that allow a publicly-traded regulated investment company to satisfy its distribution requirements from a distribution paid partly in common stock provided that at least 20% of the distribution is payable in cash and certain other requirements are satisfied. The dividend includes a carry-over balance of $4.4 million from the Companys fiscal year 2012 taxable income and a significant portion of the Companys fiscal year 2013 estimated taxable income.
We continue to pay our annual dividend largely in stock as we believe that retaining our capital resources to build and diversify our portfolio will better position us over time to generate current income and capital appreciation on an increasing scale, said Christian L. Oberbeck, Chief Executive Officer of Saratoga Investment Corp. Longer term, as our assets under management grow our objective is to satisfy our regulated investment company distribution requirements through cash payments.
Each shareholder will have the opportunity to elect to receive the dividend in cash or in the Companys common stock. However, the total amount of cash to be distributed to all shareholders electing to receive their dividends in cash will be limited to approximately 20% of the total amount to be distributed to all shareholders. In the event that the amount of cash to be
distributed to all shareholders electing to receive the dividend in cash would exceed 20% of the total dividend, each shareholder electing to receive cash will receive a pro rata portion of the total cash to be distributed based on the number of shares held by each such shareholder. The remainder of the dividend in excess of a shareholders pro rata share of the total amount of cash to be distributed will be paid in the form of shares of the Companys common stock.
Shareholders electing to receive the dividend in shares of the Companys common stock will receive their entire dividend in the form of shares of the Companys common stock regardless of the elections made by any other shareholders.
The Company will mail an election form to receive cash or common stock only to registered shareholders promptly after the November 20, 2012 record date. Registered shareholders are those shareholders who own their stock directly and not through a bank, broker or nominee. The completed election form must be received by Saratoga Investment Corp.s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer, prior to 5:00 p.m. (EST) on December 19, 2012. Registered shareholders with questions regarding the dividend may call American Stock Transfer at 866-668-6563. Registered shareholders who do not make an election will be deemed to have elected to receive 100% of their dividend in stock.
Participants in the Companys dividend reinvestment plan will also receive an election form. The investment feature of the dividend reinvestment plan will be suspended for this distribution and will be reinstated after this distribution has been completed.
Shareholders who hold their shares through a bank, broker or nominee will not receive an election form from the Company and should contact their bank, broker or nominee for instructions on how to make an election.
Regardless of whether a shareholder receives the dividend in cash, stock, or some combination of cash and stock, the entire amount of this dividend will be fully taxable to shareholders and Saratoga Investment Corp. will report the actual tax characteristics of each years dividends annually to shareholders and the IRS on Form 1099-DIV.

Demi Moore to star in Very Good Girls
Demi Moore is to return to the big screen in 'Very Good Girls'.
The 49-year-old actress - who has not worked on a movie since she sought treatment in rehab at the beginning of the year - is set to star as the mother of Elizabeth Olsen's character in the movie, which will also feature Dakota Fanning and Peter Sarsgaard.
Dakota and Elizabeth will play best friends who make a pact to lose their virginity during their first summer after high school, but the pair find their friendship is tested when they both fall for the same guy, Deadline reports.
Demi was due to play feminist Gloria Steinem in 'Lovelace' - a movie about real-life porn actress Linda Lovelace - but she was forced to pull out of the role in January, citing a ''personal crisis''.
Heidi Jo Markel - who is producing the motion picture with Jim Young and Laura Rister - previously said: ''It was a shock and a concern for all of us.
''We got a call from [Moore's representative] on Tuesday morning and said, 'There's been a personal crisis and we need to let you know that.' And we were clueless. We had no idea what it entailed. We just knew she was out, that there was probably a health concern, and to move on.''
Demi was replaced by Sarah Jessica Parker, and the 'Striptease' star was said to have been ''devastated'' about losing the part.

Called the "Dean of American Craft," Wharton Esherick bridged the gap between the Arts and Crafts movement and the resurgence of interest in woodwork with the Studio Craft movement that started in the 1960s. He began his career as a painter, but by the 1920s turned to wood, first making frames and woodcuts, and later, furniture. By realizing that furniture does not need decoration and creating minimal organic shapes in hand-carved wood instead, he paved the way for much of modernism. His old studio/residence in Paoli, Pennsylvania is a National Historic Landmark for Architecture and a museum dedicated to his work.

I found the seat covers to be a good value for the money. The directional arrows on the instructions could be a little plainer for the bench seat. My only complaint is that two of the loops, one on the seat back and one at the center front of the bench seat unraveled in my hand when I tried to use the hooks to secure the seat. I did a work around and continued the installation.

1. Re: SessionContext and LocalContext within RPCChristian Sadilek Feb 7, 2012 1:42 PM (in response to fvitorc)
I assume your use case for this is to get access to the HTTP session? I have created a JIRA for this a while back: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ERRAI-157
If it's for the session object, you could add a servlet filter and store the object in a ThreadLocal, given you use the SimpleDispatcher.
2. Re: SessionContext and LocalContext within RPCfvitorc Feb 7, 2012 2:19 PM (in response to Christian Sadilek)
Not actually. I wanted acess to the queue id of the client invoking the RPC. I guess that information is in LocalContext right?
I just put SessionContext in this discussion because those are the contexts provided by errai, so that would be a helpful information.
Anyway, does errai have acess to the Message object just before invoking the RPC?
I assume it does, and so, it would be possible to store the Message object in a ThreadLocal.
Then from the RPC we can grab it, and access LocalContext and SessionContext.
3. Re: SessionContext and LocalContext within RPCChristian Sadilek Feb 7, 2012 3:41 PM (in response to fvitorc)
There's currently no API you could use to get access to the message from within an RPC endpoint. Can you elaborate on the feature you want to implement? Maybe we can come up with an alternative.
4. Re: SessionContext and LocalContext within RPCfvitorc Feb 7, 2012 11:17 PM (in response to Christian Sadilek)
Ok, so the first thing that comes into my mind in this situation is to use a ThreadLocal. Let me try to show a simple and ugly way to do this.
As I've seen from the source code, RPCs are initiated from class ConversationalEndpointCallback, correct?
Let's add ThreadLocal to it:
private static ThreadLocal<Message> currentMessage = new ThreadLocal<Message>();
public static Message getCurrentMessage() {
return currentMessage.get();
and right before the createConversation(message) statement, in the beginning of the try block, place this statement:
try {
and create a finally block to the above try block like this:
finally {
Now, in our RPC service, we access the current message object using ConversationEndpointCallback.getCurrentMessage();
It's ugly but it works. So let's make it look nice. We can use resource injection for that.
First, let's make getCurrentMessage() protected, so that only classes in the same package can access it.
protected static Message getCurrentMessage() {
return currentMessage.get();
Now, create an extension component in the same package as ConversationalEndpointCallback that will add bindings to a resource provider:
public class MessageAccessorExtension implements ErraiConfigExtension {
public void configure(ErraiConfig config) {
config.addBinding(Message.class, new ResourceProvider<Message>() {
public Message get() {
return ConversationalEndpointCallback.getCurrentMessage();
That's it. Now we add a provider to our RPC service and access the Message object through this provider:
public class MyServiceImpl implements MyService {
private Provider<Message> message;
public void doYourWork() {
Message m = message.get();
It would also be possible to add more bindings to simplify access of commonly used objects in RPC services, like:
public LocalContext get() {
Message m = ConversationalEndpointCallback.getCurrentMessage();
return LocalContext.get(m);
public SessionContext get() {
Message m = ConversationalEndpointCallback.getCurrentMessage();
return SessionContext.get(m);
What do you think of this solution?
5. Re: SessionContext and LocalContext within RPCChristian Sadilek Feb 8, 2012 11:35 AM (in response to fvitorc)
Nice! I think your solution would work. However, it seems there's an opportunity for us to provide a higher level abstraction for what you are trying to do. What is your exact use case for this? To identify the client? I am thinking we could make a provider for the context itself which could then be injected.
6. Re: SessionContext and LocalContext within RPCfvitorc Feb 8, 2012 12:21 PM (in response to Christian Sadilek)
Yes, I need to identify the client. What I need is a list of all users currently logged in, along with their respective queue id. There's no specific need for the Message object. But I know that with it I can get the LocalContext of the currently running RPC.
Think of it as chat application (it's a little more complex than a chat application, but it serves as an example). When a user logs in, I register that user as logged in along with his queue id in a application scoped variable. So, if user A wants to send a private message to user B, I get the user B from the application scoped variable along with his queue id. With his queue id, it's now possible to send a message directly to user B.
I can use my hack for the moment, but I am looking forward to see this feature in future releases.
I've recently opened up another discussion about detecting user presence, because I need to know when a queue has been started or finished. But I still have no response for that.

More than a dozen kindergartens in Vietnam have closed to deal with an outbreak of hand, foot and mouth disease that has killed 111 children and sickened more than 57,000 this year, an official and the government said.
Ten kindergartens in Hau Giang province were shut for 10 days to clean and check the students' health, said Nguyen Van Muoi, head of the provincial preventive medicine center. Four schools reopened last week, he said Monday.
The southern province has had 361 cases since June, and some 50 children are hospitalized. He blamed the increase on the virus' spread after children returned to school from summer break. Kindergartens in Vietnam are similar to preschools, accepting children ages 1 to 6.
"I hope with this measure (closing the preschools), the new cases will drop," Muoi said.
At least three more kindergartens in the southern Bac Lieu province and the central highland province of Dak Nong also have been closed, Monday's Vietnam News reported.
The Health Ministry says more than 2,000 new cases of hand, foot and mouth disease are being reported each week. In a typical year, the virus infects up to 15,000 children in Vietnam and kills 20 to 30 of them.
The Ministry has recorded 57,055 cases and 111 deaths in the country as of Sept. 22, including a 3-year-old child who died on Sept. 20 in Hanoi, its website said Tuesday. A more severe strain called enterovirus 71, or EV-71, was identified earlier in about a third of sampled cases. It can result in paralysis, brain swelling and death.
Southern provinces report 70 percent of the cases and 90 percent of the deaths, it said.
The World Health Organization has said three-quarters of the deaths have been children younger than 3 years old.
The virus is named from its telltale symptoms, including rash, mouth sores and blisters on the hands and feet. It is spread by sneezing, coughing and contact with fluid from blisters or infected feces.
No vaccine exists, but the illness is typically mild and most children recover quickly. The disease is caused by enteroviruses in the same family as polio.

- What makes your small kitchen so cool:
- To us, our kitchen is great because we've gotten to experiment and build it ourselves since we bought this house, our first, on Halloween. We've done everything since the 'before' image from scratch, just the two of us. We feel like that makes it about as personal as it can be.
- Describe a challenge you've overcome or a smart resource you've found for your kitchen.:
- The biggest challenge we have had so far is that the kitchen was not really a kitchen when we purchased the house, as seen in the first image. There was no oven, MDF composed a small counter, but there were these wonderful custom plywood cabinets that were never finished. However, the basement apartment was too well done (in the eyes of a young couple with no kids and degrees in architecture) not to buy the house and finish it ourselves. We've experimented along the way- building and pouring our own plywood and resin countertop, making the cabinet doors from scratch, and building some extra cabinets and a window shelf. Finally, as seen in two of the photos, I built a custom slide out pantry that makes all of our food easily accessible.
- What's your favorite meal to cook here?:
- Emmy loves to make pitas and hummus from scratch (because she can roll them out on the large counter and watch them puff at eye level , she says) and I love to make apple pies, no cheating on the crust, with french tart style tops.

Mark Quirk's High School Hockey: It's hot in ManchesterBY MARK QUIRK
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 07. 2013 11:05PM
LAST THURSDAY, to best utilize their limited ice time at JFK Coliseum, the Memorial and Central high school hockey teams decided to share the ice and practice together.
Things probably won't be as cordial Thursday when the squads share the ice again, this time in a regular-season game between two of the best teams in the state. The game is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. at JFK.
"No doubt about it, there will be a different friendship there," Central coach Brian Stone said.
The Little Green are the only undefeated team left in Division I with a record of 5-0 and the Crusaders, who many still consider the best team in the state, are 5-1. Their only loss was in overtime against Londonderry (4-1-1).
Certainly, this is one of those games Stone and his team circled on the schedule. Memorial was runnerup last year, then reloaded this season. Another twist to the plot is Stone was an assistant for the Crusaders last year. He remains good friends with Memorial coach Mark Putney, part of the reason they were able to practice together. So Stone knows the Crusaders pretty well.
Knowing some of the tendencies of the Crusaders could be advantageous to the Little Green, but having coached with Putney last season probably doesn't mean much this year.
"Systems are systems, hockey isn't a complex game," Stone said. "He'll have them ready to play."
He does know, for example, forward Jacob Boylan is aggressive, Brendan Sullivan has a knack for the net this year and Colin Williamson is probably the most dangerous two-way player in the state.
"We're going to have our hands full," Stone said. "It should be a good one."
Central is still shorthanded on offense. Senior captain Mitchel Fortin will be out for the foreseeable future with a broken arm and Andrew Kehas is still suffering from a sprained shoulder.
SINCE SUFFERING a 1-0 loss to Bishop Guertin to open the season, Salem has gone unbeaten is its last five games with a record of 4-0-1. All of those games have been against teams with at least .500 records: Londonderry, Concord (2-2-1), Hanover (2-2-2), Pinkerton Academy of Derry (3-3) and Trinity of Manchester (3-3).
The most recent was a 3-1 win on Sunday over the Pioneers, who were carrying the momentum of a title at the Bauer Holiday Hockey Classic and a 9-2 win over Nashua South into the game.
Brian Frazier, Jake Pappalardo and Matt Survilas scored the goals for the Blue Devils, who are now 4-1-1. More importantly, goalie Nick Phair made 31 saves to outduel Ryan Slatky of Trinity, who is considered one of the best goalies in the state. Slatky finished with 25 saves.
"(We're getting leadership from) Frazier, (Ryan) Corbett, my captains," Salem coach Mark McGinn said. "Pappalardo, a young kid, and Paul Antkowiak."
WITH FORWARDS Fortin and Kehas still on the bench with injuries, the Little Green will need somebody to pick up some of the slack offensively. That player could be junior forward Ross Lougee, who scored his first career hat trick in an 11-1 win over Bishop Brady on Saturday.
Scoring is nothing new to Mike Hayden of Souhegan of Amherst. Hayden leads the state in scoring with 25 points in six games. The Sabers have sputtered over the last week, dropping two straight after starting 4-0.
There are only four teams left in the state without a loss or tie. They are Central in Div. I, Merrimack in Div. II (6-0) and both Berlin (6-0) and John Stark/Hopkinton in Div. III (6-0) . Bitter Seacoast rivals Dover and Spaulding of Rochester are both 5-0-1 in Division II .
Goffstown has won four in a row since starting out 0-2 in Div. II and Londonderry is 3-0-1 over its last four games in Div. I.

Dasyurus geoffroii
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Dasyurus geoffroii Gould, 1841
Common Name(s):
|Taxonomic Notes:
|Mitochondrial control region DNA evidence indicates that the subspecies, Dasyurus geoffroii fortis, is very closely related to the Bronze Quoll, D. spartacus, of southern New Guinea, with less divergence evident between these two taxa than is seen within species between populations of both D. maculatus and D. hallucatus (Firestone 2000).
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Near Threatened ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Morris, K., Burbidge, A. & Hamilton, S.
|Lamoreux, J. & Hilton-Taylor, C. (Global Mammal Assessment Team)
Listed as Near Threatened because there are still fewer than 10,000 individuals. It was declining in the wheat belt when last assessed, but translocations seem to have reversed this trend in the last few years despite a continued decline in a few populations. The species can survive in a fragmented landscape. There is fox control and better awareness among public. However, the stability of populations currently depends on active management. Threats to the species are still present, but at lower levels than in the past. Almost qualifies as threatened under criterion C.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|The Western Quoll, or Chuditch, formerly occurred as two subspecies over approximately 70% of the Australian continent, being found in every mainland state and the Northern Territory; museum specimens from the east of Australia of D. geoffroii geoffroii are known from Peak Downs in eastern Queensland (Thomas 1888), the Liverpool plains of New South Wales (Gould 1840), and Mildura New South Wales (Kreft 1857). The western subspecies, D. g. fortis, is now restricted to the south-west of Western Australia, occurring at low densities throughout the Jarrah forest and more patchily in the drier woodlands and mallee shrublands of the central and southern Wheatbelt (Maxwell et al. 1996). The Julimar population is translocated.
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Australia (Western Australia)
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|The total population of Western Quolls is probably under 10,000 individuals. Some populations are under 100 individuals (as in Julimar). The species probably naturally occurs in small populations. The Western Quoll is very wide ranging. There is some fluctuation within populations. The species has suffered declines in the past, but due to active management and translocations, it seems to be recovering.
Western Quoll are known from 25 of the 57 fauna monitoring sites in the south-west of Western Australia, in 15 of these, the species has increased in abundance (as measured by trap success rates) or remained unchanged since fox control was implemented in 1996 (K. Morris pers. comm.). In the other 10 sites this species has declined; the reason for this is unclear at present, however, in at least one of these sites (Honeymoon Pool, Collie River) management practices have changed so that rubbish bins are no longer left at the picnic and camping sites (Western Quolls are well known scavengers) (K. Morris pers. comm.). A study into the impact of introduced predators on native fauna, including native predators such as the Western Quoll, is currently underway and reintroduction of captive breed D. g. fortis to former areas of its range in the arid zone of Western Australia is planned for the period 2009-2012 (K. Morris pers. comm.).
Whilst no substantiated evidence has been found to support the continued presence of the eastern subspecies D. g. geoffroii in Queensland, New South Wales or Victoria, there are three unconfirmed reports cited in the Threatened Species of Western New South Wales folder (1996) of this species from far western New South Wales. Specifically, these sighting are from 1996 at North of Broken Hill, in 1990 from "Myall" NW of Tilpa, and "Albermarle" between Broken Hill and Menindee in 1988. The latter record was chased out of a tree but escaped into a rabbit warren. Known and unconfirmed occurrences of D. maculatus from the central and far west of New South Wales make it hard to verify reports of D. geoffroii made by the public (as distinguishing the two species can be difficult). A live D. geoffroii was confiscated by New South Wales Department of Conservation and Climate change staff in 1983 from a chicken pen on a property in Central West New South Wales - it was presumed to have been a captive individual/pet that had originated from a from Western Australia stock, however, its origins were never verified and there was no further consideration or exploration of the possibility of a wild population persisting in the area, despite being within its former range (S. Hamilton pers. comm.). It is generally accepted that mammal survey techniques in most areas of the former eastern range of D. g. geoffroii have not been targeted towards D. g. geoffroii, being neither adequate in magnitude or duration to detect the presence of this species if it does indeed persist at all.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|The former wide range of the Western Quoll suggests the capability of occupying a variety of habitats, including deserts, woodlands, mallee shrublands, sclerophyll forests, and coastal areas. The species can be found in degraded areas. Western Quolls are generally nocturnal and solitary. Females construct burrows during pregnancy and maintain non-overlapping core areas in their home range (Maxwell et al. 1996). It is an opportunistic species that mainly eats invertebrates.
|Major Threat(s):
|Habitat alteration due to clearing, grazing, and frequent wildfire (especially extensive, hot wildfires) may have detrimentally impacted the population; after fires, there is often an incursion of foxes, which can be detrimental. Competition for food and predation from cats and foxes, hunting, and poisoning have also contributed to its decline.
|Conservation Actions:
Recovery objectives for this species (Maxwell et al. 1996) include: ensuring that the species persists within its present (1992) range, and increasing population numbers by expansion into former range.
Management actions completed or underway (Maxwell et al. 1996): habitat management research into the impact of prescribed burning and timber harvesting in the Jarrah forest is under way. Western Quoll habitat requirements are considered during rehabilitation after bauxite mining; impact of fox control programs completed research has shown that Western Quolls have benefited from fox control programs using 1080 meat baits. A broad-scale fox baiting program is now under way in the Jarrah forest; Western Quoll populations are being monitored at several sites within the Jarrah forest as part of the Department of Environment and Conservation (Western Australia) faunal management programs and as part of ongoing research into fox control, prescribed burning, and timber harvesting. A monitoring site in the Wheatbelt has not yet been established; distribution and requirements in the semi-arid zone increase over the next few years. An extensive survey for Western Quolls in the southern Wheatbelt failed to detect any. Populations may have continued to decline over the last 10 years and restocking of suitable areas is probably required; captive breeding program ongoing and successfully undertaken at Perth Zoo since 1989. Over 60 Western Quolls have been bred, with most being used for translocation to Julimar Conservation Park; a successful translocation has been undertaken at Julimar Conservation Park. Translocations to Wheatbelt reserves and Shark Bay have been proposed.
A study into the impact of introduced predators on native fauna, including native predators such as the Western Quoll is currently underway (K. Morris pers. comm.).

Butler coach Brad Stevens will remember having possession of the ball with 3 seconds left and the opportunity to take the lead or at least tie the game.
His team couldn't pull it off.
"That's going to bug me," Stevens said.
After trailing by 10 points, the 11th-ranked Bulldogs went on a late run that got them within a point Wednesday night. But it wasn't enough in a 71-67 loss to Charlotte.
Still, Stevens is staying positive.
"One thing that I told our guys in the locker room is that you can't let this one affect your play on Saturday," he said.
Butler will go on the road to Fordham for its second straight game without Andrew Smith, who was out with an abdominal injury sustained in a 59-56 victory over George Washington last week.
Rotnei Clarke scored 18 and Roosevelt Jones had 17 points and nine rebounds to lead the Bulldogs (20-5, 7-3 Atlantic 10), who hadn't lost at home in 12 games.
Pierria Henry scored 17 points to lead Charlotte, including two late free throws to keep the 49ers ahead.
Chris Braswell and Willie Clayton each had 11 points for the 49ers, who ended a two-game skid.
"I think the right team won," Stevens said. "It probably would have been a disservice if Butler would have won."
The 49ers (18-6, 6-4) went on a 7-1 run late in the game and then withstood a late charge by the Bulldogs that got them within a point.
"Does anybody have a stretcher?" Charlotte coach Alan Major said. "I may need to be carried out of here after that one."
It was certainly a nice homecoming for the coach who grew up in Indianapolis and later attended Purdue, about an hour northwest of the city.
After the 49ers built a 10-point lead, the Bulldogs went on an 8-2 run.
Clarke hit a 3-pointer and the 49ers missed a shot. Kellen Dunham made two free throws to make it 60-55 with 2:20 left.
E. Victor Nickerson hit a jumper and then Clarke made a 3-pointer to make it 62-58 with 1:31 left.
Clarke hit a 3 with 22.6 seconds left to make it 66-61 and then Denzel Ingram made one of two from the line.
"They just hit tough shots," Nickerson said. "It was a big win. That's a good team and we're a good team."
Clarke was fouled on a 3-point attempt and hit all three free throws to make it 67-64, but Henry made one of two from the line.
Clarke hit a deep 3 with 7 seconds left to pull Butler to 68-67. Henry made one of two from the line and the Bulldogs had another chance, but they turned the ball over on an inbounds pass.
"It was going to Rotnei," Stevens said. "But it didn't ever get to the point where he could get the ball."
At that point, the 49ers didn't know what Butler was going to do.
"I didn't know what to expect," Major said. "I was expecting Clarke in some form or fashion, but sometimes when you're expecting that, as a coach, you think they're going the other direction."
Butler shot 39 percent and turned the ball over 11 times. At halftime, the Bulldogs were just 2 of 11 from 3-point range.
Butler turned the ball over right away to start the second half and Ingram scored to give the 49ers a 31-27 lead.
Butler's Erik Fromm, who made his first start of the season, scored on a putback and then Henry was fouled on a shot and converted the three-point play to give the 49ers a 34-29 lead.
Jones scored for Butler and Clayton for Charlotte before Fromm hit a 3 to make it 36-34.
Clayton scored again and Fromm hit another 3-pointer to make it 38-37 with 16:20 left, but Henry answered with a 3-pointer of his own to give the 49ers a 41-37 lead.
Clark scored for the 49ers and Dunham hit a 3 to make it 43-40.
Later, Braswell made two free throws to give the 49ers a five-point lead. Then the 49ers went on a 7-2 run.
Fromm hit a 3-pointer to make it 51-47, but Nickerson made two free throws to extend the lead again.

Team Maggie Update Day+21
Wow! Three weeks since Maggie received Lucas' bone marrow! How time flies, but I know at the same time goes slowly.
Here's how Lauren described yesterday
Hi everyone. Maggie had a good day today. She is currently sleeping on my lap..she had big plans to stay up all night and watch movies with me..haha. So cute.
Today we tried switching her anti-fungal to oral as the iv form is one of the meds that can cause the cardiac abnormalities. She swallowed it and immediately threw it all back up. So we had to give her the iv form again and will try the oral one again tomorrow. They are giving her a couple more days to see if she can take her meds better and also see if she will start eating a little. If she can't do either thing they are contemplating putting a tube down her nose that would go into her gut. She would be able to get her oral meds through it and also she would get feeds through that instead of TPN. The advantages are that option is easier on her liver and it would stimulate her gut possibly making her feel hungry more than TPN would. The downfall is the obvious..it's a tube in her nose. So we'll see. The hope is she can start to take her oral meds better and start eating a little so we can work towards getting her off TPN altogether. Right now she just has zero interest in food which they said is all very normal.
She is still having higher blood pressures..it seems this will be an issue until we can start to lower her cyclosporin which will be awhile.
The positives today were an ANC of 8,000! Wow! Also her hemoglobin seems to be holding steady in the 8's and although her platelets are still falling they are not dropping as fast and she can go a couple days without a transfusion of those.
She also got off the morphine pca today! She is now getting it every 3 hours and they will continue to wean her. A couple pumps on her iv pole were removed today and that was awesome to see!!
We are getting closer every day to a healthy little girl and I couldn't be anymore thankful!!
Just a couple of reminders.
Mark your calendar for Monday, August 19th, because that night will be a Team Maggie Night at Miguel's Mexican Restaurant on the Hogan Road in Bangor. They will be donating 10 percent of all the dinner sales to Team Maggie, and there will be a 50/50 raffle. If you would like to help with the planning, please call Chris Popper at 941-1994 or email me at email@example.com
Maggie turns 5 on August 19th. She will be in the hospital still on her birthday. If you'd like to send a card or a gift, her address is
BMT Unit Floating 6
Attention: Maggie Rudnicki
750 Washington Street
Boston, MA 02111
I asked Maggie's mom what she likes and this is Lauren's reply
"She loves the Boston bruins, lip gloss and scary things (ghost stories, vampires, goosebumps books etc) those are a few favorites but honestly just well wishes are all she needs!"
Please keep praying. Prayers do work! They've made those little white cells grow, and those white blood cells are what's making Maggie feel so good. The change in in the past Week has been nothing short of miraculous! Pray for a peaceful night and week ahead. Pray for a sense of calmness for Maggie, Lauren and the entire Rudnicki family. Pray that those white blood cells continue to grow, and grow quickly! Pray for healing, pray for strength! Pray that they can be discharged to the Neely House soon! Pray that Maggie can swallow the medicine and not need a nasal tube.
You can make a donation to help defray the medical and travel costs associated with Maggie's care. Maggie has been down in Boston for over 4 weeks. If you want to make a donation, click HERE for the details
We now have over 100 photos of Team Maggie support up on the site.

(CBS/AP) LOS ANGELES - CBS is hoping a legal warning shot shatters rival network ABC's plans for its reality show "The Glass House."
Attorneys for CBS sent ABC executives a letter Friday warning that "The Glass House" is "strikingly" similar to CBS' summer show "Big Brother." The network notes that ABC may be benefiting from the fact that 18 former "Big Brother" staffers and executives are now working on the planned ABC show.
"Glass House" would feature contestants who are constantly filmed and eliminated from a home they share, and viewers will be able to influence many of their actions, according to a description of the series released Monday. The Julie Chen-hosted "Big Brother," which has been a summer staple on CBS since 2000, has similar features.
Attorneys for CBS noted that the former "Big Brother" staffers now working on the show, including "Glass House" Executive Producer Kenny Rosen, all signed nondisclosure agreements and are likely violating them by working on the new series.
"In the strongest possible terms, we must admonish ABC and anyone involved in the development or production of 'Glass House' that they will be acting at their own peril if they continue to proceed in this manner," says the letter that was sent to ABC and later obtained by The Associated Press and other news outlets.
ABC had no comment on CBS' allegations.
The letter states that CBS, which owns the U.S. licenses and copyrights to "Big Brother," could sue ABC and block "Glass House" from being broadcast. "Glass House" is set to debut in June.
Previous cases involving copycat allegations in reality television have been difficult to win in court, but judges assess their merits after reviewing both products.
"With the striking similarities to 'Big Brother' and their concerted effort to recruit a large number of former staff from the show, we don't see how ABC can produce this new series without infringing on our rights," CBS wrote in a statement released Friday afternoon.
ABC settled a case on confidential terms last year with the Tokyo Broadcasting System over allegations that ABC's hit show "Wipeout" was a copycat of several Japanese game shows such as "Takeshi's Castle," "Most Extreme Elimination Challenge" and "Ninja Warrior."

An optimal combination of torque, power and weight – all in one chainsaw.
Standard Features
Common Features for Chainsaws
View the features common to many STIHL chainsaws.
Pre-Separation Air Filtration System
This time-saving technology boosts the efficiency of the engine's filter system, doubling the time between air filter cleanings. Air drawn into the engine is first separated via centrifugal force, ejecting the heavier dirt particles before being routed to the air filter. This pre-separation means less dirt to be captured by the air filter, resulting in less frequent cleaning and maintenance.
Side-Access Chain Tensioner
The side-access chain tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw.
Toolless fuel and oil caps with retainers
Simply lift the lever and twist the caps to remove or tighten. There's no need to use a tool to tighten or loosen.
Decompression Valve
The decompression valve, also referred to as 'deco' or 'deco valve', vents compression in the cylinder for easier starting. The decompression valve temporarily reduces the compression in the combustion chamber during cranking and helps reduce the effort needed to pull the starter rope. It is opened manually and closes automatically as soon as the engine fires.
Anti-Vibration System
STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment. The STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.
Important Information
STIHL recommends the use of green reduced kickback bars and green low kickback chains on all STIHL chainsaws.
STIHL products sold through U.S. STIHL Dealers are for distribution in the United States only.

As I understand it my cable/dsl router is only capable of 4500 kbps (it's a Macsense Pro) I never worried before since dsl was so slow but now I am wondering... the 4.5 I see as the speed rating on Timhiggins. Does that mean 4500 kbps and could the router actually be a bottle neck now!?! (if so, this is a great problem to have, since I used to only get 600 kbps...) Anyway, I could be way off on this, that's why I am asking. Thanks.

What to think of Cameron Maybin's defensive performance in 2011?
According to the baseball statistical site FanGraphs.com, Maybin's UZR ranked third among all major league centerfielders (for what it's worth, this blog isn't a fan of UZR). Dave Pinto's numbers aren't as kind, showing Maybin 12th in MLB. What do you think? Here's what I saw: 1) Maybin's balltracking was better than average and extremely good east-to-west; 2) Maybin over-threw too many cutoff men, not surprising for a player in his first full season in the majors; 3) Like many centerfielders, Maybin doesn't seem to fully trust his north-south reads and plays deep against singles hitters, but since those are common glitches, they're not all that worriesome; 4) Maybin glides like a top-flight NFL receiver while pursuing balls in the gaps. I enjoyed watching him run down flyballs. I expect that Maybin, 24, will win a Gold Glove before his five-year contract expires, although it's no small feat for a center fielder/base-stealer to stay healthy.

I tend to like Pinto's numbers as well, but any defensive metric which says Alex Rios is an above average center fielder is well.....let's just saying leaving something to be desired.
I thought it was interesting that you chose to only use stats here when you typically quote a scout or two. I'm sure any scout you find would tell you that Maybin is a gold glove caliber CF
Mark, The disparity in some defensive stats gives me pause, too. As for any scout rubber-stamping CM as a GG, um, not there yet. Although I haven't polled them, one who saw a lot of the NL West last year likes CM but preferred Fowler (who plays his home games in a far more demanding ballpark for a defender). I hope to talk to more scouts soon. Best, TKReplyDelete
