Mary Pickford & NH: A star is barn?
September 23. 2013 4:29PM
In 1910, Mary Pickford was in the second year of a Hollywood career that would earn her the nickname "America's Sweetheart" and make her one of the most famous actresses of all time. That year she received her first film credit, for a short titled "Their First Misunderstanding." In 2006, a copy of that film was discovered in a decaying New Hampshire barn. It is the only known copy.
The story made national news for obvious reasons — it involved the discovery of a lost, 103-year-old film featuring a great movie star. The barn, though, came down, of course. The buildings usually come down — even when they are historical treasures far older than any motion picture (which this was not).
New Hampshire loses pieces of its architectural history every year either to fire, decay or the bulldozer. The New Hampshire Preservation Alliance tries to maintain the public's interest in preserving these vanishing structures, but it is difficult. No building has the sex appeal of Mary Pickford.
Every year the alliance identifies a list of seven buildings to save. Among the recent nominees: New Durham's meetinghouse, built in 1772, one of only five pre-Revolutionary meetinghouses remaining in New Hampshire; Exeter's Ioka Theater, built in 1915; East Derry's First Parish Church, which dates to 1769; and the Langdon Town Hall, built in 1803.
Why preserve these old buildings? Because they are to New Hampshire what old films are to Hollywood. They are windows into our past. But unlike silent movies, they also continue to produce revenue — by bringing tourists who long to experience what is left of the New England they read about in the history books. Lose them, and we lose an important part of New Hampshire's identity.

Test your Oregon IQ: What's the state bird? Animal? Beverage?
EUGENE, Ore. - From the Oregon Trail to the Oregon Ducks, the Beaver State holds a special place in the hearts of many people.
So it's fitting the state celebrates statehood on Valentine's Day.
"I've been around and around," said David Jacobson of Veneta, "and I tell you there's no other place I'd rather be."
Oregon joined the Union as the 33rd state on February 14, 1859.
To celebrate Oregon's birthday, KVAL News quizzed residents on some of the state's official symbols.
The state animal?
"Beaver!" Jeffrey Williams of Eugene said.
How about the state bird?
"It's the mallard duck!" Maya Thomas of Eugene said.
Sorry, that's incorrect.
"I don't know," Williams said. "Blue jay?"
"That would be the meadowlark," Jacobson said.
We have our winner.
Next: What is the state beverage?
"I would have to say ... that's Ninkasi," Jeffry Henshen of Eugene joked.
Close? It's milk.

Water turned off to entire town
Water turned off to entire town
ACKLEY, Iowa —
Officials in Ackley said Tuesday that they are in the process of shutting off water to the entire town.
The action came after a major water main break. It's expected to take most of the day to get water back on.
When water is restored, it will be available for emergency purposes only, officials said.
Officials said the public school has been closed and the nursing home was immediately notified of the problem.
A boil advisory will be issued when repairs are made and the system is re-pressurized. It is expected to take a couple days before drinking water will again be safe to drink without boiling.
Ackley is located in northern Iowa about 20 miles east of Iowa Falls.

STILLWATER, Okla. – It's easy to see why Oklahoma State named their mascot Pistol Pete, as the No. 24 ranked Cowboys used hot shooting from both the field and 3-point line to down the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles 78-42 Saturday afternoon.
The Cowboys proved why they rank among the nation's top 25 teams, out-performing the Golden Eagles in most aspects of the game. OSU led in rebounds, field goal percentage, 3-point field goal percentage, free throw percentage, assists, steals, blocks, and field goals attempted.
Tech could not match the 11-for-27 3-point performance put up by the Cowboys, shooting just under 27 percent from behind the arc in the contest. OSU used a rounded attack against the Golden Eagles with five players scoring in double digits.
Freshman guard Phil Forte led the OSU attack, scoring 22 points off the bench, including six 3-pointers. Marcus Smart, a freshman guard who is projected as a lottery pick in the upcoming 2013 NBA Draft, scored 11 points while fellow NBA Draft hopeful Markel Brown, a junior guard, chipped in 11 points as well.
Senior guard Jud Dillard led the Tech scoring effort for the third consecutive game, dropping 18 points on the Cowboys on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. He also added six rebounds during the contest.
Dennis Ogbe, a junior forward from Munich, Germany led the rebounding effort for the Golden Eagles, coming down with eight in nearly 30 minutes of play. A transfer from SMU, junior guard Jeremiah Samarrippas totaled 11 points, hitting three 3-pointers in the second half.
Tech will wrap up its five-game road stretch, which will span nearly three weeks by the end of it, when it opens conference play at Jacksonville State on Dec. 29. The contest, which is scheduled for a 4:30 p.m. CST start, will be the first game of Ohio Valley Conference for both teams.

Trying to handle tiny seeds, such as carrot, pansy, and lettuce, and drop the right number into a cell pack can be tricky. With inexpensive seeds, there's no worry about using more than you need, but if you're growing a rare, expensive variety, you likely have few seeds to waste.
For the meticulous seed starter there is a tool available that can make the whole process more efficient. The Mini-Wand seeder features a hand-operated vacuum bulb, hand-triggered wand, and five different-sized tips for picking up different-sized seeds. Simply depress the vacuum bulb, place the trigger tip near the seed you want to move, and depress the trigger. Air suction grabs the seed and holds it against the tip. Bring the seed to the pot and let go of the trigger and the seed drops into place. There are three versions of the Mini-Wand seeder. More complicated versions feature an extension wand and hose to plant large quantities of seeds and to plant outdoors.
For more information on this simple, yet elegant seeding tool, go to: GroMor Vacuum Seeder.

Speak Your Words Lyrics
With just an ounce of envy, I hold my head heavy but I, I can't believe what you've become. Such a fitting scene. Are you trailing behind? But you hold your own. But now you face it and I know all too well. I can spare a moment for this. This face has caught my eye. It's just another cry. You won't let it show. We're down to the wire. I'm alive. I'm inside. I just hope you know you won't be alone. I'll be right here beside you. Hold on just a minute for this. Don't hide it inside; it won't erase it.

ST. JAMES — It's almost here – St. James' pride and joy – the Grape & Fall Festival.
It's almost here – St. James' pride and joy – the Grape & Fall Festival.
The 80th annual event, themed "Proud of the Past, Poised for the Future," is scheduled for Sept. 4-7, 2013.
"This is one of St. James' most celebrated events and is well-attended," said St. James Chamber of Commerce Director Dawn Thompson. "It's the last big hurrah before school really gets going, and it's a really good time for people to see old friends and family."
The festival kicks off with the queen pageant, which began in 1933 to celebrate the grape harvest.
The tradition began among the Italian grape growers in the Rosati community, whose daughters were among the first to participate in the pageant.
The winner of the pageant is crowned Miss St. James for one year.
Later in the week, attendees can enjoy carnival rides, along with wine and beer tents throughout the area.
Vendors such as Meramec Winery and St. James Winery are on hand with their award-winning spirits to share with the thousands of visitors, many of whom have traveled hundreds of miles to attend.
Other events include the ever-popular parade, live music, the street market, a kids race, livestock shows, a tractor pool, a demolition derby and much more.
This year's featured music group is the Link Family Band Thursday evening, Sept. 5.
A favorite for many is the festival street market, which is held Saturday, Sept. 7, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. on the plaza.
"It's been going on for so many years," she said. "People come into town to see their family and friends because you get to see a lot of people that you haven't seen in a long time. It's always a good time and a lot of fun."
The deadline to enter the pageant was Tuesday, but there is still time to participate in the festival and become a sponsor.
Forms for parade floats, bikes and vendor booths are available online at www.stjameschamber.net and at the St. James Tourist Center office. All parade forms must be submitted by Sept. 1. Vendor forms must be submitted by Aug. 15.
Sponsorship levels for this local event range from $250 (silver sponsor) to $2,000 (platinum sponsor). Only chamber members are eligible to be sponsors of the event.
The deadlines for sponsorships and advertising for the annual Grape & Fall Festival Magazine is Aug. 1.
For more information, call the Chamber of Commerce at 265-6649.

(14 Days - Departs Daily on a Private Basis)
Arusha, Singita Grumeti Reserves (Serengeti), Chyulu Hills, Nairobi, Seychelles
This tour combines East Africa's most luxurious safari accommodations with time in the tropical paradise of Seychelles. We can arrange internal charter flights upon request, as well as special experiences such as hot-air balloon rides or horseback safaris.
Begin with an overnight stay at a luxury lodge near Arusha, an area of lush, mountainous landscapes, Maasai settlements and coffee plantations. Next, fly to Singita Grumeti Reserves, a private game concession at the edge of Serengeti National Park, for a five-night luxury safari experience. The area is known for its abundant wildlife—including elephants, leopards and plentiful lions—as well as its ideal location, which offers prime opportunities to view the annual great wildebeest migration. Spend three nights in an ultra-luxurious safari lodge, followed by two nights in East Africa's most luxurious tented camp. Enjoy spectacular game drives—Grumeti Reserves' status as a private concession means you will be able to view wildlife unfettered and without crowds. If desired, also enjoy walking and night-time safaris, as well as game drives into neighboring Serengeti National Park. You will also have plenty of time to indulge in spa treatments, play tennis, swim, and enjoy delicious gourmet meals.
Continue to Chyulu Hills National Park, located on a volcanic mountain range in southeastern Kenya. Chyulu Hills is known for the great beauty of its landscape, as well as its spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Game sighting opportunities are plentiful—it is located in the path of seasonal elephant migrations, and is home to a variety of species, including the Big Five. Stay in a small luxury lodge in the hills and enjoy daily game drives, walking safaris, horseback riding, mountain biking and night drives. Other activities may also be arranged, including visits to local villages, excursions to nearby Amboseli National Park, or a scenic flight around Kilimanjaro. One experience that should not be missed is sleeping outside on your own private rooftop "star bed," and waking up to the majestic sight of Mount Kilimanjaro as the sun rises.
Spend one night in Nairobi, Kenya's bustling capital city. Relax after your long flight in the comfort of one of the city's best hotels, or enjoy private touring of Nairobi's highlights. Perhaps visit the Sheldrick elephant orphanage, which is run by a charitable organization that helps save the lives of orphaned elephants and rhinos and is active in community outreach and anti-poaching programs. Another highlight is visiting Nairobi National Park to go on a game drive or safari walk. Other options include the Giraffe Centre, a sanctuary where visitors may learn about and feed endangered Rothschild giraffes; visiting local arts and crafts galleries and museums; or participating in various philanthropic activities.
Conclude your tour in Seychelles, an archipelago of beautiful islands in the Indian Ocean. On arrival on the island of Mahe, you'll be met and assisted through immigration, and then transferred by private vehicle to Four Seasons Resort Seychelles. During ample leisure time, relax on white sand beaches, enjoy the resort's spa and other facilities, and perhaps go swimming, snorkeling or kayaking in the clear blue water. Artisans of Leisure can also arrange many additional activities such as scuba diving, fishing and sailing.

I like this book because I like reading and learning about animals. Cheetahs are my favorite. They are my favorite because they can run up to 65 mph. That's as fast as a car. They're the fastest animals. When I saw a real ostrich in Florida, I read the information about it. It told me that it was the biggest bird in the world. The book told me that, too.
I recommend this book to people who like to learn about animals and like having animals. People should learn about animals in case they encounter animals in the forest or the woods.

Nashua woman struck by lightning
June 24. 2013 9:43AM
CASCO, Maine – A Nashua woman was taken to Bridgton Hospital Sunday night after being struck by lightning at a Maine resort.
Erin Ledoux, 25, was standing with friends next to a pine tree about 5:30 p.m. Sunday at the Point Sebago Resort in Casco watching an approaching storm when a lightning bolt struck the tree, according to Cumberland County, Maine deputy Sgt. Jim Estabrook.
The strike sent Ledoux airborne , throwing her onto some rocks and a concrete barrier and then into Lake Sebago. She was knocked unconscious and her friends and bystanders pulled her out of the water.
Estabrook said the two friends were also sent airborne but did not require a trip to the hospital. He said Ledoux was closer to the tree.
Ledoux was taken to Bridgton Hospital for treatment, but a spokesman said the hospital's policy is not to release any information about any patient.
Estabrook said he spoke with Ledoux who appeared to be in stable condition. He said she is still hospitalized.
He urged people to seek shelter and not stay outside when thunderstorms come rolling in.

Speak Your Spouse's Language
- Whitney Hopler Crosswalk.com Contributing Writer
- 2009 12 Jan
Your husband seems to say one thing yet do another. Your wife seems to expect you to read her mind. You and your spouse are frustrated that what you heard each other say wasn't what was meant. Sometimes it can be like your spouse is speaking a different language from yours – one you don't understand.
But you can learn to speak your spouse's language when you work on communication skills in your marriage. Here's how:
Make your marriage a covenant, not just a contract. God intended marriage to be much more than the contractual relationship it typically is in our society. Viewed as a contract, marriage is simply about what and your spouse agree to do for each other (and if either of you fail, the relationship can be canceled). But God designed marriage to be a covenant, a permanent relationship that's built on unconditional love. The first step in effectively communicating with your spouse is for both of you to view your marriage as a covenant. Be willing to love your spouse with a steadfast love. Decide to focus on what you can do for your spouse, instead of on what you want your spouse to do for you.
Realize that communication leads to intimacy. The better you and your spouse communicate, the closer your relationship will become. Aim to build intimacy by focusing on your communication skills. Think of how loved you each will feel in a truly intimate marriage, and let that thought motivate you to improve the way you communicate.
Plan a daily sharing time with your spouse. Schedule a time each day or night to give each other a few minutes of undivided attention. Take turns asking each other to share three experiences that happened in your lives today and how you feel about them.
Change unhealthy communication patterns. Instead of trying to achieve peace at any price, recognize that conflict is necessary to deal with issues and find solutions to problems. Rather than blaming your spouse for everything, ask God to show you how you've contributed to problems. Then take responsibility for your own failures, confess them to God, and ask for His help to change. Instead of expressing only your reasonable thoughts and hiding your feelings, realize that you must share your emotions as well as your logic if you're going to build true intimacy with your spouse. Rather than ignoring your spouse's offensive actions or comments, hoping that they'll go away, realize that the problems between you will never go away on their own. The only way to get them to go away is to work together to solve them.
Raise the level of your communication. Get to know the five different levels of communication. Then aim to go to the highest level – level five – with your spouse. Level one is hallway talk like "Fine, how are you?". Level two is reporter talk like "Just give me the facts." Level three is intellectual talk like "Do you know what I think?". Level four is emotional talk like "Do you know how I feel?". Level five is the most intimate – loving, genuine truth talk like "Let's be honest." On this level, you can speak the truth in love to each other. You can be honest but not condemning, and open but not demanding. You can give each other the freedom to think and feel differently about issues, situations, and people. You work to understand each other's thoughts and feelings, looking for ways to grow together in spite of your differences.
Get to know yourself well. You must know yourself before you can share yourself with your spouse. Train yourself to become more attentive to your five senses (seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, and tasting) to be able to fully experience situations. Pay closer attention to the way you interpret your experiences. Notice how the way you interpret experiences affects your emotions and your behavior. Consider what your spouse may have said or done lately that you interpreted in a wrong way. Ask God to help you avoid jumping to conclusions about situations in your marriage, and instead take the time to find out what truly motivated your spouse to speak or act in certain ways. Get to know your emotions, what triggers them, and how the way you feel affects the way you behave. Recognize your desires, and the different values you place on each of them. Consider whether your desires are good or bad, loving or selfish – and how those desires and their varying intensities are affecting your marriage. Then come to understand how your behavior reveals the reality of your choices. When you act a certain way toward your spouse, you're making a choice, whether you're fully aware of it or not. If you pay more attention to the choices you're making – even at the subconscious level – you can change your behavior by changing your choices. Ask God to help you integrate your feelings and desires with your intellect and your will. Instead of letting your changing emotions rule your life, decide to live by the timeless truths of the Bible. Pray for the strength you need to deal with your emotions maturely, so you can remain committed to your marriage even during tough times.
Learn the art of self-revelation. Once you discover who you truly are, be willing to share yourself with your spouse in order to build intimacy in your marriage. Practice telling your spouse about your experiences, interpretations, feelings, desires, and behavior. The more you reveal about yourself, the less your spouse has to guess, and the better he or she can understand you – which will draw the two of your closer together.
Clarify your priorities and goals. Aim to work with your spouse to grow together into the people God wants you become. Think and pray about your current priorities in life: your faith, family, friends, work, church, personal enrichment, etc. Consider whether or not each one reflects what's important to God. A successful marriage depends on both you and your spouse bringing your priorities in line with God's priorities. Once you and your spouse agree with God and each other about priorities, it's time to set goals to help you accomplish your priorities. Be sure to make your goals specific, realistic, and measurable. Set goals for the growth you'd like to see happen in your marriage, and keep in mind that growth usually happens gradually, so be patient with each other as long as you're making some progress. Discuss your goals with your spouse regularly to keep each other motivated and on track.
Make time for what's most important. You and your spouse may be very busy, but how much are you actually accomplishing? Examine the ways you're currently using your time. Write down how you spend your time over the course of a week; then analyze the information to decide what to eliminate. Delegate some of your responsibilities, such as by having your children take over certain household chores or hiring someone to help with tasks like doing your taxes or mowing your lawn. Schedule time to be your spouse in focused ways, rather than hoping that you can do so spontaneously and having other activities take over. Encourage each other to take time regularly to be alone, and use that time to think, pray, and reflect on life.
Identify your differences and make them assets. Notice the many differences between your personality and that of your spouse: one of you likes to stay up late and one likes to get up early, one likes to save money and one likes to spend, one talks a lot and the other is quiet, one is neat and one is messy, etc. Remember that God has created each of you to be unique. No matter how much your spouse's different approach to life may irritate you, decide not to view your differences as liabilities. If you work together to discover how your differences complement each other, those differences can become assets, strengthening your marriage. Don't condemn each other for being different. Instead, ask God to help you make the most of your differences so that they'll enhance your lives together. Whenever you and your spouse notice how one of your strengths is helping the other in an area in which he or she is weak, thank each other.
Change defensive attitudes. Remember that your spouse is not your enemy; he or she is your ally. Figure out what's causing you to feel defensive in your marriage: perhaps self-esteem issues, unresolved conflict, or physical deprivation. Understand how you usually express defensiveness: through verbal retaliation, withdrawal, or speaking to your spouse through your children instead of directly. Whenever you catch yourself reacting defensively, learn from the experience by asking yourself: "What emotions did I feel when I responded defensively?", "What message did my spouse's statement communicate to me?", "What did my response, verbally or behaviorally, communicate to my spouse?", and "What did my response reveal about me?". Also consider how larger issues in your marriage may be contributing to your defensiveness, and discuss those issues with your spouse. Then explore ways of relating to each other more constructively. For example, when you want your spouse to do something, approach him or her with a request instead of a demand. Also, rather than saying "You should …" or "You ought …" say "In my opinion …". The more you and your spouse feel that you value and believe in each other, the less defensive you'll each become.
Build intimacy. Ask God to help both you and your spouse be transparent and open with one another so you'll enjoy the freedom to know and be known. Make sure you're each experiencing intimacy with God, since you can't be experience intimacy with each other until you each are close to God first. Communicate with God often through prayer, and communicate with your spouse honestly and openly each day. Confess your own selfishness whenever you recognize it and ask for mercy and forgiveness whenever you need it. Ask God to pour out His love for your spouse through you and make you an agent of positive change in your spouse's life. Over time, work to regain trust that has been lost in your relationship. Develop stronger emotional intimacy by expressing love, respect, and appreciation to your spouse more often. Build stronger intellectual intimacy by learning how to listen to each other well and discussing ideas in ways that respect each other when your opinions differ. Develop stronger sexual intimacy by working together until you both find mutual fulfillment in your physical relationship. Stay committed to each other, refraining from looking outside your marriage for sexual fulfillment. Communicate often and openly about your sexual needs and desires. Look out for your spouse's best interests in other areas of your lives, too, to grow the kind of love you need to fuel a healthy sexual connection. Build stronger spiritual intimacy by encouraging each other to become more like Christ every day. Pray together, talk about what God is doing in each of your lives, study the Bible together, and serve God together through your local church and in other ways as He leads you. Dream together about the future, and ask God to make His dreams for your marriage come true.

STOCKTON - This was supposed to be McNair's year.
STOCKTON - This was supposed to be McNair's year.
It wasn't.
It was, however, Nikko Pablo's year.
Pablo, The Record's All-Area Baseball Player of the Year, remained a steady, dominant presence while the team around him crumbled under the weight of multiple academic and disciplinary casualties, winning the Tri-City Athletic League's Most Valuable Player award despite playing for a fourth-place team.
Pete Pijl, who guided St. Mary's to its fifth consecutive Sac-Joaquin Section Division I championship game despite starting the season 3-10, is The Record's All-Area Coach of the Year.
McNair coach Quincey Noble believed, for good reason, that 2013 would be the Eagles' breakthrough season. A league title and deep playoff run were possible, a postseason appearance likely.
"I don't have any doubt in my mind we would have made the playoffs," Noble said. "I had a lot of these kids since seventh grade. They were farther along than most kids their age."
By the end of the TCAL season, however, the Eagles had lost seven starters for various reasons, most of them academically related.
"For the last month of the season, we basically had a glorified (junior varsity) team," Noble said.
Still, McNair remained in the playoff hunt, mostly because of Pablo, until it was swept by Tokay in the second-to-last week of league.
"We still had a shot," Noble said. "Whenever Pablo pitched, we had a chance to win."
The 5-foot-7 senior finished the season 8-3 with one save and a 1.75 earned-run average, hit .449, and he's one of the section's top defensive shortstops.
"He was like Kelly Leak in the 'Bad News Bears;' he did everything for us," Noble said. "A Kelly Leak-Tatum O'Neal combination. He was a man against boys."
A four-year starter, Pablo has come a long way since hitting .262 as a freshman.
"I think I'm a smarter player now," he said. "When I'm in the on-deck circle I'm watching the pitcher; I'm paying attention to the types of pitches he has. From there I look for a certain pitch, and when he gives it to me I go after it."
Pablo said Noble is a big reason he flourished in high school.
"Quincey helped me understand how to play the game the right way," Pablo said. "I appreciate everything he's ever done for me."
The feeling is mutual.
"I've been coaching for 31 years," Noble said, "and he's one of maybe eight kids who has actually done everything I expected him to do."
A brutal nonleague schedule combined with inexperience - outfielder Joey Caffese was the lone returning starter - led to a 3-10 start.
The Rams hit rock bottom April 9 in a 15-1 home loss to Tokay in the TCAL opener. The following day, Pijl put his players through a grueling 3-hour-plus practice.
"That's the toughest practice I've had in many, many years," he said. "Nobody quit; nobody complained. Our guys were beat physically after that practice, but we were energized mentally because everyone knew that we're better than this. Everybody was embarrassed by it,"
The turnaround was quick and dramatic. After earning the split against Tokay, St. Mary's ran the TCAL table to finish 9-1, share the championship with the Tigers and earn the league's top playoff seed.
Overall, St. Mary's entered the postseason winners of 10 of 11 games.
On their way to the section finals, the Rams ended Turlock's 26-game winning streak in the subsection quarterfinals. Four days later, they beat the Bulldogs again in the semifinals.
"Coaching isn't about how many section championships you win, it's about the journey, the day to day," Pijl said. "For me, it's about the bond that we have and how everyone stuck together. That's how we made it to the finals. It was one of my most rewarding seasons because nobody expected us to (get there)."

Century-old church vandalized in Danville
Century-old church vandalized in Danville
DANVILLE, Va. —
Danville police are investigating the vandalism of a century-old church.
Media outlets report that someone spray-painted an upside-down cross, several other symbols and Latin words that translate to "Hail Satan" in red on the rear outside wall of the Schoolfield Church of the Brethren.
A church member discovered the graffiti Saturday.
The church was founded in 1911 by Marion Prather. The current pastor is his great-great grandson, the Rev. Richard Berkley.
Berkley's daughter, Branwen Hall, says the church has endured through World Wars I and II, and the Korean and Vietnam wars. She says the graffiti isn't going to change the way members worship.

Angels Camp, CA
Angelina Whittle
Nov. 25, 1914 - Jan. 17, 2013
Angelina "Angie" Whittle died January 17, 2013 at Foothill Village in Angels Camp, California. She was 98.
Angie was born to Giovanni and Cirilla Antone on November 25, 1914 in Tuttletown, California, near Mark Twain's cabin. She was the second of five children born to Italian immigrants. She began school in Tuttletown, speaking only Italian and later helped her parents learn English so they could study to become American citizens. She attended Jamestown Elementary and graduated from Sonora High School in 1932.
She married Clenn Whittle on May 7, 1933. She and her husband raised their two boys and made their living as cattle ranchers. They spent summers in the Stanislaus Forest on their range near Crabtree Camp in Tuolumne County until 1968. They lived on their ranch near Angels Creek, south of Angels Camp, until 1975 when the ranch was purchased by the federal government in order to build Melones Dam. They then built a home in Angels Camp and moved to town.
Angie was active in the local chapter of the Cowbelles. She and her husband enjoyed traveling throughout the west and to Canada and Alaska. A highlight of their retirement years was a European cruise to celebrate their fiftieth wedding anniversary. Angie was a loyal San Francisco Giants fan and loved to play card games, especially poker and pedro.
Mrs. Whittle was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, Clenn; her son, Clenn Junior; daughter-in-law, Joanne; and brothers, Pete, Louie, and Joe. She is survived by her son, Loren, of Angels Camp; sister, Marian Thym of Jamestown; grandson, Bruce Whittle (Karen) of Angels Camp; granddaughter, Jeanne Stiers (Bill) of Pleasanton; seven great grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at Angels Memorial Chapel at 11 a.m. on Saturday, January 26. There will be a reception to follow at Angels Gun Club. Donations can be made to your favorite charity.

To: Airport Honchos
Re: Stewart Airport
Are you people crazy?
I'm sorry to begin so harshly. But do you know what kind of a gold mine you have at Stewart Airport in Newburgh? Do you even know that you run an airport in Newburgh? Do you even know where Newburgh is? I don't think you do.
Nor do I think you care.
Because if you did, you sure wouldn't be forcing so many of us who live in the Hudson Valley and Catskills to schlep a good two hours to deal with traffic and tolls and horrific parking to catch a flight out of Kennedy or LaGuardia or Newark.
Not when you have this great airport less than an hour's drive from my door sitting there practically empty.
Look, I know when you folks took over Stewart Airport's lease in 2007, you said you committed to making $500 million in capital improvements.
You want to spend $143.5 million to rehab the runways. Spend $19.9 million to expand the terminal for custom inspections and other services for international flights. Spend another $10 million to build a new state police forensics lab.
Excuse me. You're worried about the size of the terminal for international flights?
I'll save you a few bucks.
Leave the terminal at Stewart alone. It's fine. Really. Just expand the number of domestic flights. It can't be that hard.
British Airways has five afternoon/early evening flights out of LaGuardia to Miami. They have four the same time out of Kennedy. They need nine flights out of Queens? You think anyone would notice if one started out of Newburgh?
Did you know you have 11 different airlines at Kennedy making a total of 36 flights to Los Angeles? LaGuardia has 38 flights to Atlanta. And those are only the airlines that start with the letter "A" and "B."
There are 11 flights daily out of Newark to Charleston.
Meanwhile, you have three airlines with less than a dozen total flights out of Stewart.
And yet two go to Detroit and one to Teterboro. Let's make a trade.
Give you one Detroit and I'll throw in Teterboro. Just get me to Tampa.
I keep reading about all these on-time problems at Kennedy and LaGuardia and Newark. A little dusting of snow and all the boards scream: "Delay!"
Let me tell ya, we don't have delays at Stewart.
We don't have any flights — but we don't have any delays.
So why not ease the air traffic coming out of the city?
Negotiate with the airlines.
Blackmail them.
They want to fly out of Kennedy? Have them throw a couple of flights to Stewart.
I know. I know.
Airlines say they don't fly out of Stewart because they don't have passengers.
And they don't have passengers because there aren't any flights.
Tell you what — you don't even have to add flights across the whole country. Just prioritize. Here's a novel idea: Fly people where they'd like to go.
And I don't know anyone who wants to go to Teterboro.
A loyal customer,
Barry Lewis: Hey, Port Authority, get airlines thinking Stewart

World Refugee Survey 2008 - Ethiopia

|United States Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, World Refugee Survey 2008 - Ethiopia, 19 June 2008, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/485f50d171.html [accessed 19 September 2018]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
Ethiopia hosted about 201,700 refugees and asylum seekers, including about 111,600 Somalis who fled the collapse of the Somali state in 1991 or more recent turmoil and about 55,400 Sudanese who fled the civil war in the south of Sudan.
Ethiopia also hosted some 23,900 Eritrean refugees. About 16,800 of them lived in Shimelba camp near the northern border: this group included some 4,000 ethnic Kunama, whom the Eritrean Government had accused of supporting Ethiopia in the 1998 to 2000 dispute; evangelical Christians fleeing religious persecution; and newer arrivals fleeing forced conscription. Most of the Kunama turned down the option of U.S. resettlement after guerrilla leaders who wanted to keep them in the camp showed them the movie Roots and violent American television police dramas and told them that Americans would steal their organs. Another 7,100 ethnic Afar Eritrean refugees lived in the remote Afar region of northern Ethiopia.
Some 17,000 Somalis lived in the Kebribeyah camp in the northeast. Around 50,000 more, mostly women and children, entered Ethiopia between August 2006 and early February 2007 and stayed with family and clan members. Between 30,000 and 45,000 unregistered Somali asylum seekers lived in and around Addis Ababa and other urban areas.
At the end of the year, more than 41,000 Sudanese refugees, who had fled the 21-year-war between Khartoum and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement, lived in four camps near the western border. Yarenja, a fifth refugee camp, closed in March. The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) helped about 19,000 Sudanese return. Pursuant to the 2006 tripartite agreement, Ethiopia allowed refugees who did not wish to return to Sudan to remain in Ethiopia as refugees.
Between 300 and 600 ethnic Tigrinya Eritrean refugees entered per month as fear grew over the possibility of war between Ethiopia and Eritrea over their disputed border.
Refoulement/Physical Protection
There were no reports of refoulement.
According to the International Crisis Group, however, armed groups recruited refugees out of the refugee camps in Shiraro and Shimelba, near the border with Eritrea. According to a UN Population Fund (UNFPA) assessment, rape, domestic violence, female genital mutilation, and sexual harassment were all prevalent in Kebribeyah camp near the Somali border, and sexual exploitation and abuse were "the biggest problem" in Shimelba camp.
Ethiopia was party to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees (1951 Convention), its 1967 Protocol – with reservations treating the 1951 Convention's rights to exemption from exceptional measures, to work, and to primary education as recommendations – and the 1969 Convention governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa (African Refugee Convention). The 1995 Constitution made international agreements "an integral part of the law of the land" and gave the executive and legislative branches specific authority to provide asylum. The 2004 Refugee Proclamation established a procedure for applying for asylum and incorporated the refugee definitions from both conventions, including Africans fleeing war and generalized violence. It prohibited the Government from refusing entry to refugees or asylum seekers and returning them to any country where they would be at risk of persecution. It also granted refugees some rights of both conventions, but made exceptions to those of movement and work.
The Security, and Immigration, and Refugee Affairs Authority's (SIRAA) Administration for Refugee and Returnee Affairs (ARRA) screened Eritrean refugees without UNHCR monitoring at Inda Abaguna near the border. The eligibility committee in Addis Ababa made up of ARRA and UNHCR staff made first instance decisions for refugees from countries other than Eritrea, Somalia, and Sudan, and there was no appeal. SIRAA did not recognize any refugees prima facie during the year but, in practice, the Government did treat persons from southern Somalia as refugees. ARRA lacked trained staff and had hundreds of cases in its backlog. Some asylum seekers waited a year for hearings. According to UNHCR, "The quality of the decisions are solely based on the time and effort of UNHCR staff with the Government counterpart being unable to ensure quality decisions."
Detention/Access to Courts
There were no reports that Ethiopia detained refugees or asylum seekers for illegal entry, presence, work, or movement, but the Government kept several Eritreans in detention on national security grounds, allowing the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to visit them.
Pre-trial detentions were lengthy because few judges were available in the remote border areas where the Government kept the camps. The Federal High Court had no permanent presence there but made circuit rides. Traditional courts prosecuted camp-based refugees who committed minor offenses and usually fined them. UNHCR and ICRC had access to detained refugees or asylum seekers.
The 2004 Refugee Proclamation required SIRAA to issue identity cards to refugees and asylum seekers and prohibited their prosecution for illegal entry or presence. The Government issued identity cards to asylum seekers and refugees in urban areas, but not to those in camps. The Government issued most Eritreans identity cards and six-month renewable residence permits.
The Constitution extended to all its rights to liberty from arbitrary detention, due process in criminal prosecutions, and access to justice in civil matters. According to UNFPA, however, "There appears to be little legal recourse for GBV issues" in Shimelba and Kebribeyah camps. UNHCR's 2006 Standards and Indicators Report indicated that refugee reporting of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) was less than 40 percent. According to UNHCR, there were no functioning SGBV referral systems in the Sudanese or Somali camps and no proper follow-up on incidents "unless exceptionally brutal or involving minors." In Kebribeyah camp for Somalis, UNHCR reported female genital mutilation, sexual violence, and denial of girls' education.
Freedom of Movement and Residence
Ethiopia required nearly all Eritrean, Sudanese, and Somali refugees to live in seven camps near their respective orders and required them to obtain permits to leave. The Government issued permits specifying the period of travel to camp residents for personal, medical, educational, or safety reasons. In general, Ethiopia restricted aid to refugees in camps or those with specific permission to live in urban areas. Some refugees from the Great Lakes area lived in Sherkole camp in the west because aid was available to them only there. In the north, refugees lived with local communities in 24 remote locations, but in February UNHCR, regional authorities, ARRA, and the World Food Programme limited aid to two distribution sites near Dubti and Berhale.
The 1995 Constitution provided that "any ... foreign national lawfully in Ethiopia has, within the national territory, the right to liberty of movement and freedom to choose his residence, as well as the freedom to leave the country at any time he wishes," but reserved the right of reentry to nationals. The 2004 Refugee Proclamation gave refugees the right to international travel documents, but authorized the head of SIRAA to designate areas where refugees and asylum seekers must live "provided that the areas designated shall be located at a reasonable distance from the border of their country of origin or of former habitual residence." Nevertheless, the Government made no such designation in 2007, making the residential restrictions of questionable legality.
The Government and UNHCR jointly adjudicated refugees' written applications for international travel documents for educational, work-related, or urgent personal reasons and issued four of them.
Right to Earn a Livelihood
In general, Ethiopia did not allow refugees to work. The Government granted work permits to foreigners only when there were no qualified nationals available and rarely issued permits to refugees. The Government also tolerated some refugees with special skills working illegally. Authorities tolerated refugee participation in the informal sector, including trading in markets or doing other piecemeal jobs.
The 1995 Constitution offered only citizens the right to work; and also granted them the right to join unions, to bargain collectively, and to strike, as well as to other labor rights generally. The 2004 Proclamation exercised Ethiopia's reservation to the 1951 Convention's right to work, placing the same restrictions on refugees as on other foreigners.
Authorities restricted kitchen gardens in Sherkole, Kebribeyah, and Shimelba camps to less than 15 percent of refugee households. Authorities banned the cutting of live wood in most camps, compelling residents to travel 4 to 10 km or more for deadwood, risking injury, attack, and rape. According to UNHCR, "Significant alterations have taken place in the landscapes of most camp areas. Soil erosion is rampant."
The Constitution offered only citizens the right to run enterprises and reserved other limited property rights to citizens. The state owned all land and all radio and television stations. Only permanent residents could operate newspapers. Refugees, however, could hold title to and transfer other types of property.
Guerrillas in the northern camps extracted war taxes from refugees.
Public Relief and Education
Only in Dimma camp did refugees receive the standard provision of 20 liters of water per person per day, and in Bonga and Kebribeyah refugees received only 11 liters. In Kebribeyah, global acute malnutrition was over 10 percent and trained staff attended fewer than 10 percent of births. Newly arrived refugees in Shimelba camp reportedly had to trade sex for shelter. Only about one in five of the Sudanese refugees in Bonga, Dimma, and Fugnido camps had blankets, jerry cans, and cooking sets. Most in these camps and Sherkole camp had not received such nonfood items in over six years.
Government clinics in camps provided health services, including drugs. In general, refugees and asylum seekers outside camps received services from Government hospitals on par with nationals, including free anti-retroviral treatment. UNHCR's implementing partner reimbursed Ethiopian hospitals for the treatment of refugees. Only Dimma and Sherkole camps had HIV/AIDS programs. New Eritrean arrivals received four eucalyptus poles and a plastic sheet for shelter. Most Eritreans could use hospitals and other public services, but some local government officials reportedly denied medical services to indigent Eritreans.
Girls' enrolment in primary school was less than 50 percent in all the camps. Government schools did not accept refugees, but UNHCR contributed to private primary school tuition, uniforms, transportation, and books for 350 students in Addis Ababa. In Kebribeyah, only 22 percent of school-aged children went to primary school. There was only one textbook for every four students and an average of 61 students per classroom and only 10 trained teachers. There were, however, over 800 children enrolled in 15 Koranic schools in the camp.
In urban areas, UNHCR gave refugees monthly subsistence allowances for food and rent and yearly allowances for clothing.
The 1995 Constitution limited its offer of equal access to publicly funded services to citizens. The 2004 Proclamation exercised Ethiopia's reservation to the 1951 Convention's right to primary education, placing the same restrictions on refugees and their children as on other foreigners. In June, the UN's Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination expressed concern about refugee children's enjoyment of their right to education and recommended that Ethiopia "adopt adequate measures" to ensure their equal access.
Ethiopia generally cooperated with and granted access to UNHCR and other agencies aiding refugees, although the Government monitored and sometimes controlled the passage of relief supplies and humanitarian agencies in the Gambella Region, including to Bonga and Fugnido camps. Its 2002 Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper for international donors included refugees, but only as an example of the "social crisis" affecting development and as a group to target for HIV/AIDS prevention.

Homeopathic medicine is natural pharmaceutical system that uses extremely small doses of substances from the plant, mineral, or animal kingdom to augment a person's own immune and defense system. Based on the "principle of similars," homeopathy uses substances which would actually cause, if given in large dose to experimental subjects, the similar symptoms that a sick person experiences.
Because symptoms of illness are efforts of the person's immune and defense system to fight infection, deal with stress, or try to heal itself, an individually chosen homeopathic medicine is chosen for its unique ability to mimic the very symptoms that the sick person is experiencing. The homeopathic remedy thus aids the body's own defenses, as compared to conventional drugs which typically treat and often suppress symptoms. A homeopathic medicine is not chosen simply based on the disease a person has but on the individualized symptoms each person has.
These natural medicines are known to stimulate a person's own healing abilities. A recent review research on homeopathy was published in the British Medical Journal (February 9, 1991, pp. 316-323) and indicated that 81 of 107 controlled studies showed that homeopathic medicines were effective in treating a variety of common ailments. Not all of these studies were adequately controlled, and yet, a still significant number of the high quality studies, 15 of 21, showed that the homeopathic medicines were effective
Homeopathic Medicine and Arthritis
Arthritis is one area in which there are several studies which have shown that homeopathic medicines are efficacious. Because homeopathic medicines need to be individually prescribed to the unique pattern of symptoms that sick people experience, controlled studies must be sensitive to this therapeutic requirement in order to adequately and accurate test this medical system.
One study published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology (1980, 9, pp. 453-459) showed that 82% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis experienced some degree of relief after being prescribed an individually chosen homeopathic medicine. Only 21% of patients given a placebo received a similar degree of relief.
This study used two homeopathic physicians, both of whom interviewed patients (46 in total) and prescribed individualized medicines for each. These prescriptions were given to a pharmacist who then blindly gave half their homeopathic medicine and gave the other half a placebo.
The British Medical Journal (1989, 299, pp. 365-6) published a double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study on the treatment of fibromyalgia. Although cross-over studies are normally difficult when using homeopathic medicines due to the need for strict individualization of remedies, this unique study included a pre-qualification interview which allowed into the trial only those patients with fibromyalgia that fit the need for a specific remedy, Rhus toxicodendron (poison ivy).

TC: Who inspired you over the years when you were creating your own personal guitar tone?
Dann: When I was 14 years old I wanted to be Larry Carlton or Al Di Meola- both of which I never became. No rock music – AT ALL – no country, but a lot of R'n'B. I totally missed Jimmy Page the first time around, and I had no interest in Hendrix, I discovered him later. I know it's terrible, it's like guitar heresy. I felt that Carlton was more interesting harmonically. His vibrato was/is beautiful, and he is a great player, but I was more interested in that harmonic value and the control. At that time I wasn't interested in the flash or the rebellion. I was a happy kid, there was no need for the whole rock idiom and it didn't inspire me from a point of identity
TC: What are the main ingredients in your tone in terms of effects (e.g. chorus, flanger, delay, etc.)?
Dann: Well, it's mostly delay, distortion, and reverb, those are the main ingredients for me. Maybe because I came from the 80's where I did all my session playing, I used up all the chorus that was actually manufactured (laughs). I like the chorusing effect if it is really minimal, and I do like modulation, but I do it from a delay standpoint.
TC: Have you ever been so inspired by a tone you created that you ended up writing a tune based on that specific tone?
Dann: I don't write much these days, but the answer is – yes.
TC: Do you work on developing your tone continuously, or do you feel that you have found a fundamental tone that will last throughout your career?
Dann: Now that I spend 95% of my time producing it's an immediate necessity. I don't hire out as a guitarist much these days, but I work with a lot of guitar players. The pressure to be able to facilitate tone very quickly, and certainly when I'm plugging and playing it, has to be there pretty immediately because I don't have the time to sit there and dig with my gear.
TC: Normally, do you prefer having access to many parameters, or do you like simple pedals with just a few knobs better?
Dann: These pedals appeal to me. I love in-the-box stuff and I love to have options, but when it comes to pedals I tend to shy away from pedals with gazillions of knob. Simplicity certainly appeals to me in the context of a pedal board.
TC: How come you signed up for creating your own personal TonePrint(s)?
Dann: Curiosity. I love the fact that you dial in the parameters and stamp them into one pedal that you like, and it appeals to me that as you change and evolve the pedal can change and evolve with you.
TC: In your opinion, what is the single coolest thing about TonePrints?
Dann: The coolest thing is that it's the coolest thing. Once you get an idea of the faceprint of it, it looks very simple overall, even for a computer savage as me. I like this format, it's more conducive to the mentality of a guitar player than that of a keyboard programmer, and that's where pedal companies sometime get off the mark, or get too boutique-ish. It looks like we can grow with this thing. Once you have this pedal you have your delay pedal, you have Joe Perry's delay pedal, you have everybody's delay pedal. It never gets old.Read more about Dann Huff

With five recent flu-related deaths in Beaumont, two of which had confirmed cases of the H1N1 strain, and around 15 deaths reported in a 16-county region of Southeastern Texas, both local and state health agency officials are urging Texans to get vaccinated immediately.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event.

TV czars swing and miss again
The absurdity makes the reality more confounding: Start a game at 9 p.m. in the middle of winter on a weeknight because a network nobody gets or can't find without a layered set of directions says so.
Yet that's what befell the UConn women Tuesday night. A 9.p.m. start at the half-full XL Center on the CBS Sports Network, whose web site trumpets it as "the 24-hour destination of CBS Sports and is in 47 million homes and available to 99 million homes nationwide."
The 47 million homes, apparently, must be west of the Mississippi. Because the calls, e-mails and tweets of confused, irritated people who just wanted to watch their team play Tuesday night were noteworthy.
Now let me say this: Normally, calling the newspaper to inquire about television doesn't scratch the problem where it itches. It's like calling the hardware store and ordering a half-pound of mortadella. But in this case, folks, we feel your pain.
Because we're all powerless against television, whose influence is the approximate combination of the Teamsters and the gun lobby.
Even Geno Auriemma shrugged his shoulders after Tuesday's game. Geno's news conference began after Letterman's monologue.
"You kind of give up your rights to the TV people," he said. Later, Auriemma said television decides start times "more times than I'd like."
There are times here in our state when UConn gets blamed for everything short of hemorrhoids. But this was not UConn's call Tuesday night. The Big East liked the thought of a women's doubleheader on the CBS Sports Network, Notre Dame-Georgetown followed by UConn-Louisville. Television decided UConn would play at 9.
It is unclear whether the attendance figure of 8,702 at the XL Center reflected the number of tickets sold or butts in the seats. Either way, the game had all the atmosphere of book club.
"If the goal was to get as many people in the stands as you can," Auriemma said, "then 9 o'clock in the middle of January is not conducive to that."
Auriemma alluded to the pertinent question: the goal.
What is the goal?
Is the goal to help grow the women's game?
To fill programming?
Either way, the 9 p.m. tip in the middle of winter seems an airball. If the target audience of the women's game is young girls and their families, how many of them do you suppose were up watching? John Altavilla of the Hartford Courant tweeted in the middle of the game that Matt Lauer was already in makeup for the Today show.
This isn't the NFL with millions of insane fans who would happily stay up after the bars close to watch, bet or follow their teams and fantasy guys.
This is women's basketball.
A niche sport.
Any attempt to solicit opinions from television people should come with Fleetwood Mac ("tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies") as background music.
They'll point to trumped up ratings, what the "market is calling for" and any other number of bromides that purport to serving the viewers but instead rain barn droppings all over them.
Is there a future of the 9 p.m. game in the middle of the week in January? That won't be decided until the summer in some conference room or on a phone call between important people.
But wouldn't it be nice if the Big East said no?
Or if UConn could tell the Big East to reserve the 9 p.m. window for someone else?
It's not like UConn couldn't get the game on SNY. Or that UConn is under-exposed.
"I don't have any say," Auriemma said. " I wish I did."
But that's where I'm na�ve, apparently. Sports people at all levels act as if shunning television is like saying no to Don Corleone. What, CBS Sports Network wouldn't ever approach UConn again to broadcast a game? This is UConn, remember. Broadway for women's basketball.
It's just that Tuesday, Broadway was replaced by the late, late, late, late show.
Way to serve the fan base.
This is the opinion of Day sports columnist Mike DiMauro.

At the National Theater in downtown Tehran, "Waiting for Godot" seems to have captured the mood of a country.
The Irish playwright, Samuel Beckett dramatized endless waiting in vain for someone named Godot. The play, translated into Farsi, got a standing ovation on the night I attended. The characters, in classic white suits, black top hats and black shoes, took endless bows as the audience whistled and clapped.
Iran is also waiting. It is waiting for the outcome of negotiations with six world powers over the country's nuclear program. Iranians are waiting for an end to punishing international sanctions that sent prices skyrocketing. The country is waiting to open for business again after the punitive measures that have isolated Iranian banks, frozen oil assets and shut down most official international trade.
Some in the audience worried that Iran — like Beckett's characters — will wait in vain.
"'Waiting for Godot' is our hope for future, and we never reach it," says Sheyda Mejani, 22, a finance major who was standing outside the theater with her friends after the final curtain.
But Nadar Safari, another college student from the group, was more upbeat. She said parallels to "Waiting for Godot" are not quite right because she's convinced Iran will reach a long-term nuclear deal.
Businessmen Are More Upbeat
Her opinion was also shared at the grand bazaar, the capital's chaotic market of small shops and crowded walk ways. For many merchants, hope has made a comeback.
Amir Farhat sells carpets mainly to international clients. He served tea at his showroom as he explained that his business dwindled to a halt because sanctions blocked international banking transactions.
"We can say that sanctions made a disaster for the economy," he said, as he pulled out carpet after carpet to tempt a visitor.
Since January, the economy has revived due to a six-month interim nuclear deal. Iran's currency has stabilized, along with prices for basic goods. In recent weeks, at least three Iranian supertankers have set sail after a year at home ports.
But Farhat's business has yet to revive. The block on Iran's banks is still in place. For him, the economy is the same, but he says, "all of the people find a little hope."
For Iran, the "psychological boost was tremendous," said businessman Rouzbeh Pirouz after the interim deal was concluded in Geneva last year. He runs an investment firm in Tehran and he points out that Iran's stock market is booming again, in a sign of confidence. But he cautions that "sanctions relief has been limited."
"One of the things I always say about Iran is that it is a country with such vast potential, but we have to hope that it doesn't always remain a country with vast potential," he said with a wry laugh. Iranians want to get to work rebuilding the economy after the devastating damage of the sanctions, but there are still barriers.
Visiting Trade Delegations
It is still nearly impossible to transfer money, so international trade is constrained despite European trade delegations that have swarmed into the capital recently.
"It's exploratory at this stage," he said of the business delegations that arrive each week.
"Nobody wants to lose the edge" if Iran opened for business again, but that requires a long-term nuclear deal, he added.
But Iran's leadership, particularly Iran's new president, Hassan Rouhani is committed to reviving the economy and that is tied to nuclear negotiations.
"Two-thirds of our population is under the age of 40. They need jobs, they need opportunity. They need income to be able to build their lives," said Pirouz. "The government recognized that unless it does that we are faced with a major problem."
Rouhani came to office with a decisive vote last year. He is said to be a pragmatic cleric with a long resume in Iran's Islamic revolution. That gives him credibility with conservatives as he reaches out to reformists.
His election opened the way for the most serious nuclear talks in years, said Saeed Laylez, an economist and a reformer. He believes Rouhani is the only Iranian politician who can end Iran's waiting
"Mr. Rouhani is Mr. Godot and he is coming. He came, actually," said Lalez.
Rouhani's hard-line critics have done their best to sow suspicion over talks with the U.S., but Rouhani's election reflected support for engagement with the west.
"He is the right man for the right time as far as Iranian politics goes," said Kevan Harris, an Iran scholar from Princeton University who was recently in Tehran.
Harris says Rouhani is building on his election mandate. He is a political operator, says Harris and diplomats in the capital, rather than an ideologue.
"He seems to be a lot better at keeping and maintaining a large political coalition, which to do anything in Iran, you need a coalition to do it, you can't just make a decision and it happens."
Rouhani will have to keep his coalition on board for the next round of nuclear talks when even tougher compromises are expected. Meanwhile, Iran, like the characters in Godot, are waiting.
And in Tehran, a classic play is getting a warm reception. It resonates with Iranians facing economic sanctions that are aimed at keeping the country from making nuclear weapons. It's being staged at a time when there's hope of ending a generations-long stalemate with the West that leaves them waiting.
NPR's Deborah Amos has more.
DEBORAH AMOS, BYLINE: In downtown Tehran, at the National Theater, a hit play seems to capture the mood of the country.
Five actors in white - with black top hats and black shoes. This is "Waiting for Godot" in Tehran.
AMOS: This iconic play by Samuel Beckett dramatizes endless waiting - in vain - for someone named Godot. This version, in Farsi, is packed each night. Three young college friends say they loved it.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #1: Yeah, it's so good.
AMOS: And you?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #2: Yes, of course.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Yes. Absolutely.
AMOS: It's really about the whole country. Everybody's waiting.
SHEYDA MEJANI: Yeah, kind of, we can think about it that way. "Waiting for Godot" - it's just our hopes for future and we never reach it.
AMOS: The pessimist is Sheyda Mejani, a finance major, but her friend, Nadar Safari, says the parallels to "Waiting for Godot" are not quite right.
NADAR SAFARI: It's not a good comparison, I think.
AMOS: 'Cause you want something to happen.
SAFARI: Exactly. Yeah, exactly.
AMOS: Hope has made a comeback in Iran. You can also hear it at the grand bizarre, an ancient market of small shops and crowded alleys. Amir Farhat sells carpets to international clients. His business dried up because sanctions blocked most international banking transactions.
AMIR FARHAT: We can say the sanction is very - Iranian economy is very disaster.
AMOS: Since January, when the six-month nuclear deal took effect, the economy has revived somewhat. The national currency has stabilized along with prices. In recent weeks at least three Iranian supertankers have set sail after a year at home ports. The carpet salesman, he's encouraged, convinced all international sanctions will be lifted in the coming years.
FARHAT: Just make a hope, the economy is the same, but all of the people find a little hope.
AMOS: Iran got a psychological boost from the nuclear agreement, explains Rouzbeh Pirouz. He runs an investment firm in the Iranian capital, but economically, he says, Iran is still in limbo.
ROUZBEH PIROUZ: You know, it's a country with such vast potential, but we have to hope that it doesn't always remain a country with vast potential, that at some stage the potential is realized. You know, a lot of Iranians are just waiting for that moment when they can just really get on with things.
AMOS: Barriers remain. For example, it's still nearly impossible to transfer money, so international trade is constrained despite a swarm of European trading delegations recently in the capital. A long-term end to the sanctions is crucial, says Pirouz.
PIROUZ: Two-thirds of our population is under the age of 40. We have a lot of young people in this country. They need jobs, they need opportunity, they need the income to be able to build their lives. The government recognizes that unless it does that, you know, we're faced with a major problem.
AMOS: The newly elected president, Hassan Rouhani, has promised an economic revival. He's said to be a pragmatic cleric with deep roots in Iran's Islamic revolution. That gives him credibility even among conservatives as he reaches out to reformers.
The vote last year opened the way for the most serious nuclear talks in years. Saeed Laylez, an economist and a reformer, says Rouhani is the only politician who could end the wait and write that final act of the hit play.
SAEED LAYLEZ: Mr. Rouhani, for me, is Mr. Godot and he is coming. He came, actually.
AMOS: Kevan Harris agrees. He's an Iran scholar from Princeton recently in Tehran.
KEVAN HARRIS: He is the right man for the right time as far as Iranian politics goes.
AMOS: Rouhani's hard-line critics have done their best to sow suspicion over talks with the U.S., but his election reflected support for engagement with the West.
HARRIS: He seems to be a lot better at keeping and maintaining a large political coalition, which to do anything in Iran, you need a coalition to do it. You can't just make a decision and it happens.

When the International Energy Agency reported nearly a year ago that the United States would become the world's largest producer of crude oil within 10 years and be completely energy independent by 2035, we all rejoiced, but it was one of those ephemeral pieces of good news because many of us assumed it would be years before we actually would see the benefit of the increased production.
That has not been the case because U.S. energy production fueled by the shale gas and oil revolution is here, and thank goodness because other supply sources have been less reliable.
"The U.S. is now producing the most oil [it has] in 22 years," says Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at Price Futures Group. "It is changing the face of the global energy market. Look at the situation in Syria; if the U.S. was not producing the amount of oil [it is], we would have seen a much more significant spike in the price of oil. Instead of going up $10 a barrel, it would have gone up $30." (See "Ramping up production," below)
Protec Energy Partners co-founder Todd Garner adds, "From a U.S. standpoint, it is obvious that we are pretty well supplied, and we are getting ready to go in[to] a refinery turnaround period. Stocks have drawn down pretty hard in [August. Early September was] the first week that we have had a build in crude oil stocks and most of that came from a build in the Gulf [of Mexico]" (see Trader Profile, page 46). Garner thought crude was headed lower based on fundamentals when the Syrian situation and reduced production in Libya pushed it back up.
The United States also has been a reliable replacement source for gasoline and diesel during recent global supply disruptions. "We now export more refined products than we import in the United States," says Dominick Chirichella, founding partner at Energy Management Institute. "It is a big change."

LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. – The New Jersey man who won the $338 million Powerball lottery says he felt "pure joy" at winning the huge jackpot, but he has no idea yet what he will do with the money -- except maybe buy a car, to cut down on mileage on his feet.
Dominican immigrant Pedro Quezada, 45, appeared at New Jersey lottery headquarters Tuesday to officially claim the prize with his wife, Ines. Both came in jeans, accompanied by his four brothers and two nephews.
The former bodega owner-operator, who came to the United States from the city of Jarabacoa 26 years ago, said his mind is not clear enough yet to figure out how he will use the money.
Asked if he could think of any uses, he said he could use a good car. Asked what kind of car he has now, he said, "My feet."
Lottery officials said Quezada had decided to accept the winnings in the form of a lump-sum payment worth $221 million, or about $152 million after taxes. It's the fourth-largest jackpot in Powerball history.
He showed up late Monday at the liquor store in Passaic where he purchased the ticket to see if he had the winner. The ticket was validated at 4:17 p.m., giving him less than 24 hours to weigh his future as a multimillionaire before appearing at the news conference, where he was peppered with questions about he would spend the money.
He was asked questions in Spanish and English and answered all the questions in Spanish, with a translator standing next to him.
When he realized he had won, he said, "I felt pure joy, just happiness."
Up until last year, Quezada had worked 15-hour days at a bodega in his adopted hometown of Passaic, in northern New Jersey. His son now runs the small grocery.
He said his bodega days are over, and given all the money he won, he doesn't plan to let his son keep working there, either.
When she got the call from him Monday, his wife of nine years said: "I had no words. ... My heart wanted to come out of my chest."
"All I can say is I feel very happy that God has blessed us with this prize," said Ines, who is from Tlaxcala, Mexico.
The largest Powerball jackpot ever came in at $587.5 million in November. Nebraska still holds the record for the largest Powerball jackpot won on a single ticket -- $365 million -- by eight workers at a Lincoln meatpacking plant in February 2006.
Powerball is played in 42 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
