"Whoa! How faraway do ya think that was?"
"Zero point eight kilometers."
"What's that in American?"
"Half a mile, you're the worst spotter ever."
The two sat far above the crash site. The jeep had swerved off the road and now was glittering in its own halo of broken glass and splintered metal. It sparkled with light, some of the light was filtered through the dust on vehicle, some from the glass still settling down around it.
The light brown-haired soldier was busy breaking down his equipment. His uniform identified him as "Counter".
"Did you hit them both?" the darker-haired soldier asked looking through a pair of chipped binoculars. His name was "Noizi".
"You can't tell?" Counter asked. He finished packing a large backpack and put it in perilous balance on his back.
Naw, the car's glass is all cracked."
"I got them both."
"We'd better confirm that," Noizi said. He stored the binoculars in one of his uniform's many pockets and brought out a pair of sunglasses to replace them on his face. The sniper didn't have sunglasses and instead resorted to rubbing grease under his eyes to cut down the glare from the Afghan sun.
"No need," Counter said. "They're both dead."
"Yeah, but we need to confirm the kills," Noizi said. He too was breaking down his equipment. A radio, some camo netting, and water jugs. He put it all in his backpack.
"I'm more concerned with all that smoke," the sniper said, pointing down to where the jeep was beginning to vent greasy black smoke into the air. "When that stuff gets above the hills, somebody is gonna noticed it and I don't want to be here when they do."
"It doesn't take that long," Noizi said. "I just have to see the bodies."
"We don't have time. That shit's rising quickly," Counter said, shouldering his rifle. "Let's set up a couple of hills over."
"Okay," Noizi said. "Should I radio Overlook?"
"No need," Counter said. "Last thing we want is to give them an excuse to dick us around."
"True that," Noizi said. "Last time I radioed them I got stuck out here with you."
Counter looked at him.
"It's not so bad," Noizi continued. "I just don't like the heat."
"It's not so hot. Where are you from?" Counter asked, sweeping the site once more to make sure everything was packed.
"Seattle," Noizi said. "My grandfather moved there after World War II, from, uh, Ko-something Japan, I think. He said 'If you can't beat them, join them.' Something like that."
"Ah," Counter said, motioning Noizi to follow him.
They began to walk down the hill from the side parallel to the jeep. The terrain was dirt and broken rock fragments and the occasional boulder. They made impressive progress despite the backpacks.
"Where are you from?" Noizi asked.
"Las Vegas," and after a pause: "New Mexico, not Nevada."
"So you're used to this heat?"
"It's hot," Counter said, "but not like this."
"So, New Mexico," Noizi said, dragging out the last word Mex-e-coooh. Counter might have stared at him again if he hadn't been concentrating on going down the slope. "You know any Spanish?"
"Y por eso los grandes amores de muchos colores me gustan a mi," Counter said in a dead monotone.
"What does that mean?" Noizi asked.
"I was asking if you spoke any Japanese."
"No, not at all," Noizi said.
Counter nodded and they descended in silence for a few minutes. The hills were steep, verging on mini-mountains at some points, russet-colored and marvelous. The two soldiers shouldered their packs and walked sideways to keep their feet from slipping in the loose debris.
"So," Noizi said again.
"So," Counter repeated.
"I'm surprised you didn't want to have me confirm those kills. I thought that was pretty important to a sniper," Noizi said.
Counter let himself slide a few feet down.
"Whatever gave you that idea?" he asked.
"I don't know," Noizi said, sliding himself. "Something I read, maybe."
More silence. They descended at a pretty good rate. The hillside was loose enough to slide all the way down if they had wanted to. Dangerous to go down that fast, but there was an incentive to hurry. The hills blocked the jeep entirely, but the smoke could be clearly seen, rising in a column and marking the wind as northerly.
They had to go around a very jagged rock patch surrounded by nasty spiny plants. Noizi said he thought they might be needle-burs and Counter said he thought that needle-burs probably only existed in Noizi's head. Sensing irritation from the sniper, Noizi shut up for a little while.
When they reached the bottom of the first hill, Counter made to start up the second, but Noizi grabbed him and shook his head. "Wait a second."
This was an odd point where one hill met the other and the whole area made a small two foot wide channel.
"What?" Counter asked.
"I just want some water."
Counter shrugged and began scanning the hills around them. The hills stood against a sky where the blue was mostly washed out by the sun. The smoke rising from behind the hill made it look like a volcano outgassing. Counter squinted at the rising plume.
"How many blonde women are in Afghanistan?" he asked.
Noizi, surprised by this, nearly dropped his water.
"Say what?"
"How many blonde women are in Afghanistan?" Counter repeated.
"I don't know," Noizi said. "Sergeant Borland is blonde, isn't she?"
"She dyes her hair, and I don't mean Americans. I mean Afghan women."
Noizi shrugged.
"I've been thinking," Counter continued, "I haven't seen one since arriving. Not in Kabul anyway."
"Well, they keep their hair covered, don't they," Noizi said.
Counter glanced up at the hilltops again, "I suppose they do."
"You nervous or something?" Noizi asked. "You're sweating."
"I'm sweating because it's motherfucking hot," Counter said.
"You're pale too."
"We need to get up this hill," Counter said.
"You'd better drink something first," Noizi said offering Counter the water.
They stared at each other. Far, faraway there was the sound of an aircraft, but where they were was quiet. Noizi was now frowning, but because of his sunglasses his eyes were unreadable.
"Up the hill," Noizi said.
"We need to get up it," Counter said, glancing at the smoke plume.
"Right," Noizi said, not moving.
The aircraft sounded like it was moving away.
"Counting Americans," Noizi said, breaking the natural stillness, "how many blonde women have you seen?"
"I don't know," Counter said.
Counter didn't answer and Noizi turned to look up at the smoke plume, still rising, now very high.
"Look, there's still time to check the bodies," Noizi said. "These hills slow folks down so we don't really have to be worried about somebody coming up on us."
"I'm not letting you anywhere near that jeep," Counter said.
There was a longer silence this time that Counter broke with a slight cough. He kicked the dirt causing a miniature plume to rise. It drifted in the same direction as the smoke from the jeep.
"I mean," he said to Noizi, "I'm not risking it. How would it look if I got you captured or something?"
"Or something," Noizi said. The sun reflected off his sunglasses. "Wouldn't a real spotter check the kills? I know I'm not the kind of guy you generally get for a spotter, but that doesn't mean I can't at least try to do my job."
"Not the kind of guy?" Counter said, taking a step forward. His voice was low, but getting louder. "Usually on a sniper team the older sniper is the spotter. I think somebody is having a joke on me. You don't send some dick-ass private to spot. You didn't tell me anything about wind or distance or anything. I did all that myself."
"Calm down," Noizi said. "It's not like I have any training for any of that. The least I can do is the bare minimum."
He started to turn to where the smoke was, but the sniper grabbed him by the shoulder.
"No," Counter said.
"Is that an order?" Noizi shook off his hand.
"I'm not letting you near that jeep."
"Why?" Noizi asked. "Why exactly?"
"I told you why," Counter said. His voice was taking on a strained tone. Both his and his partner's volume were increasing. "Anybody can see that smoke. We don't know who is going to show up."
"Fine," Noizi said. "I'll just use the binoculars then. I'll get a better view and check."
Counter reached for him again, but Noizi slapped his hand away.
"I'm going to check," Noizi said.
"No, you're not."
"Keep your voice down," Noizi said, looking around at the surrounding hills. The little channel was overexposed to the sun and the hills were washed out enough that objects became blurs.
"You're telling me to keep my voice down!" Counter said. "You're the one who's shouting."
"This is bullshit," Noizi said. "I'll be right back."
He went for the smoke plume. Counter pulled him back. Noizi slipped on the loose rocks and nearly fell but Counter held him firmly by the arm. Noizi shook him off. The two stood staring each other down. The sun set each of them in wreaths of golden fire.
Noizi made to go toward the smoke. It was a slight jerk. Counter leapt forward, but left unprepared for Noizi's lack of moment, he was the one to nearly fall this time.
Noizi laughed. "I'm going to go check the jeep."
"No," Counter's face was as flushed as his tone.
"Or what? You'll shoot me?"
"I might."
Noizi gritted his teeth. In the vast brightness of the hills his dark hair showed like a stain from under his helmet. Every inch of him quivered from his boots to his sunglasses. He raised a finger, opened his mouth, closed his mouth and then turned to go again.
"Last warning," Counter said.
"Oh," Noizi said, livid. "I suppose that wouldn't bother you. You've probably shot tons of people. It's kind of like your job right? Every single morning; eat, sleep, kill some people. Wait on some God-fucked road in some God-fucked country and just kill whoever comes down the road. Right? That is your job, right?"
"That's your job too," Counter said. He unbuttoned the strap on his shoulder holster. "Maybe you didn't notice that there's a war going on here?"
"Let me confirm the kills," Noizi said. He was reaching behind his back slowly. "We can then go back to base and look at Sergeant Borland's ass or something."
"I don't want to hear about Sergeant Borland!" Counter said. "And I've never shot anybody before."
"Ever?" Noizi asked. His hand stopped moving. "Jesus." Then: "Jesus."
Counter let out a gasp and sank to his knees.
"You did hit both of them, right?" Noizi asked, stepping forward to help the other up.
"I said I did," Counter's flush fled to pale. He swayed slightly even though Noizi was now holding him up.
Noizi nodded, "Good. How many Afghans own a jeep, you suppose?"
Counter shook slightly, "A lot?"
"Old style jeep like that? Probably a lot," Noize said, voice almost steady. "It's hard to tell with the sun," he pointed up. "Changes the color of things. That jeep could have been any make or model, but you can't be sure because of the light."
"Yeah," Counter said, nodding, his color returning. "The light changes things."
"So," Noizi said, "up the hill?"
"Up the hill."
And they went up the hill. Counter going faster than Noizi, because the darker-haired soldier couldn't stop himself from glancing over his shoulder at the rising smoke that kept going up into the sky like a needle.

Tanjung Sanctuary Resort Langkawi Guest Reviews (11)
Just great. You won't be served umbrellad cocktails by staff in a white jacket when at the pool. If that's important to you, there are other resorts on the island. But if not, and beachside relaxation in a tropical setting is, then this comes highly recommended. The fact it's a wildlife sanctuary with dramatic-looking hornbills and monkeys all around is a fun bonus.

Restaurant service was poorer

Lovely stay at this small resort. Food average, but professional, hospitable manager made up for it.
Roshi Kamyab wrote on August 16, 2007
I rated 'good' for location because it all depends where the traveller wants to be. If you want somewhere quiet and secluded then the rating is superb. The bungalows are huge and the tranqulity is wonderful.Good quiet beaches alongside the hotel. The restaurant leaves a lot to be desired if you want to have 'a night of it' (I don't talk about the food quality because we didn't eat at the hotel) and there is no bar. It's about a 20 min taxi ride (taxis very cheap) to the main centre of eating and entertainment. My first visit to Langkawi and I look forward to a re-visit sometime.

Its a Luxirious Place , where you can feel privacy more that anywhere else, you dont need to go out to see the Beautiful nature as you own home is just inside it. the rooms are very big, the beach is very nice, the whole place is so Private if you are honeymooners or whatever , its a great place to visit, the only point of weakness is ,itself, a point of streanght, its a little bit far from city center, but all langkawy is far from each other, and you need to hire a car there to be able to go every where (from 12 USD/Day) summery, its a great Pleace, and i wish i can go there again

Banana Cake Recipe
I have posted quite a few cake recipes on this blog but this banana cake has to be one of the best! If you are a fan of banana bread, you will love this cake. The cake is extremely moist and flavorful, and the cream cheese frosting tops it off nicely. I learned a little trick from this recipe as well, if you put the cake in the freezer right after it comes out of the oven, it will make the cake very moist. I highly recommend cooling the cake using this method. I topped the banana cake with chopped walnuts but other nuts would work as well if you prefer. The cake is baked at a low temp of 275 degrees. The oven times here are going to vary so it is important to keep an eye on this cake and check it from time to time with a toothpick. The original recipe called for 1 hour in the oven but it took about an hour and 15 minutes in my oven. This cake is so good it will be all gone in no time! Enjoy.
1 ½ cups ripe bananas (mashed)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 cups flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup butter (softened)
2 1/8 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups buttermilk
Cream cheese frosting-
½ cup butter (softened)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (softened)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ½ cups icing sugar
Walnuts (chopped, for garnish)
Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Pre-heat the oven to 275 degrees. Grease 2, 8" round baking pans.
Step 2: In a small bowl mix mashed bananas and lemon juice. Set aside. In a medium bowl mix flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl cream ¾ cups butter and 2 1/8 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla extract. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Stir in banana mixture.
Step 3: Evenly pour batter into 2, 8" round baking pans. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Between those times keep checking on the cake with a toothpick to see if it's done. When the cake is done take the baking pans and place them directly into the freezer for 45 minutes to cool.
Step 4: While cake is cooling, to make the frosting- In a bowl cream the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Beat in vanilla extract. Add icing sugar a little at a time and beat on low until combined. Then beat on high until smooth.
Step 5: Remove the cake from the pans and lay out the bottom half on a plate. Spread it fully with frosting. Add the top half and cover the entire cake with frosting. Add chopped walnuts on top.
(Makes 14 Servings)

Source: Teams Interested in J.J. Hickson
Portland Trail Blazers 6-9 power forward/center JJ Hickson has been receiving exploratory interest from a handful of teams looking to potentially swap for his services before the Feb. 21 trade deadline, a source close to the situation told CSNNW.com.
However, these teams have not made contact with Trail Blazers General Manager Neil Olshey, just yet. The inquiring phone calls are going to Hickson's agent Andy Miller, first, the source said.
Here's why: Hickson is a Bird Rights player on a one-year, $4 million deal and he has the power to veto any trade that is proposed. If he approves a deal, he will lose his Bird Rights. It would have to be the right team and the right situation for Hickson to give up his rights.
"I'm blessed to be in this the position and to know that I'm kind of a hot commodity right now," Hickson said. "But all I can do is control what I can control on the basketball court and keep getting better."

New England Regional Student Program (NERSP)
The University of New Hampshire participates in the New England Board of Higher Education's New England Regional Student Program (NERSP) where New England public universities and colleges offer a number of undergraduate curricula with reduced tuition to students from other New England states.
New England residents admitted to participating programs pay the UNH in-state tuition plus seventy-five percent. If you change your major to a non-participating major prior to receiving your degree, you will be required to pay the regular out-of-state tuition for the remainder of your time at UNH. The NERSP tuition rate is subject to change at any time, as is the list of approved UNH programs.
Please note that it is the university's policy to not award both a merit scholarship and the tuition-discount available through NERSP; students may receive one or the other, but not both. Our practice is to award the student the award (either the merit scholarships or the tuition-discount associated with the NERSP) that provides the greatest cost reduction for the student. For fall 2013, the NERSP offers a greater cost reduction than that represented by the Dean's Scholarship; for students awarded the Presidential Scholarship, it is in their best financial interest to receive the merit scholarship rather than the NERSP since the Presidential Scholarship has a larger dollar value than that of the NERSP tuition reduction. This decision reflects the institution's commitment to prudently manage its fiscal resources.
In many financial aid packages the NERSP tuition discount results in a greater cost reduction (as reflected in the student's financial aid award) than the Dean's Scholarship. Students have the option to choose a financial aid package that has the NERSP tuition discount or the merit scholarship awards. Please contact the financial aid office to determine whether the NERSP tuition discount or merit scholarship will provide a more advantageous financial aid package. Also, when considering changing a major to or from an NERSP approved major please contact the financial aid office concerning possible changes in need based financial aid.
Some students receiving the NERSP discount (but not a merit scholarship) find that the impact of lower costs (as represented by the NERSP) has a greater impact on their need-based financial aid package than anticipated, leading the student to question whether receiving the NERSP tuition discount is in their best financial interest. Students have the option to choose a financial aid package that reflects the NERSP tuition discount or the traditional non-resident tuition charges. Please contact financial aid to determine whether the NERSP or traditional non-resident tuition charges will provide a more advantageous financial aid package to the student. Also, when considering changing a major to or from a NERSP-approved major please contact the financial aid office concerning possible changes in the need based financial aid.

"Hae Jung (Hwang Soo Jung) is the eldest of four sisters, and is kind and giving to her younger sisters - even though she's actually their half-sister. In contrast, second sister Yu Jin (Chae Rim) is ambitious and straightforward, and cares deeply for family friend Young Hoon (Han Jae Suk), causing plenty of problems for everyone else! Third sister Yu Mi (Ahn Yeon Hong) is materialistic, and gets engaged to a rich gentleman despite having another, more suitable lover (Ji Jin Hee). And fourth sister Yu Sun (Park Ye Jin) is a high school student with a heart problem - and an ardent love for her high school teacher! As the years pass, each sister struggles to find true love, and conflicts and difficulties arise. But through it all, they remain true to each other." - YesAsia

JAMES PETHOKOUKIS:: 5 scariest debt and unemployment charts from the new CBO report « The Enterprise Blog
By MB Snow at January 31, 2012 | 10:42 am | Print
The Congressional Budget Office has released its updated 10-year budget and economic forecast. Actually, the CBO offers two forecasts. It has a baseline forecast, which assumes current law stays in place. It also has an "alternative" forecast which assumes current tax and spending policy stays in place as is—even if the law says it must change in coming years. That scenario incorporates the following assumptions:
– Expiring tax provisions (other than the payroll tax reduction) are extended [under current law, those expirations will boost individual income taxes in a variety of ways by amounts totaling $3.8 trillion from 2013 through 2022];
– The AMT is indexed for inflation after 2011 [under current law, its parameters are fixed, and the number of taxpayers affected by the AMT will jump from 4 million in calendar year 2011 to 30 million in 2012];
– Medicare's payment rates for physicians' services are held constant at their current level [under current law, those rates are scheduled to drop by 27 percent this March and more in later years]; and
– The automatic spending reductions required by the Budget Control Act do not take effect [under current law, they will impose reductions totaling about $109 billion a year starting in January 2013].
I like to refer to the "alternative fiscal scenario" as the "realistic fiscal scenario." It is certainly the scarier scenario over the long term. For instance, annual budget deficits would average 5.4 percent of GDP over the 2013–2022 period under the alternative fiscal scenario, rather than the 1.5 percent reflected in CBO's baseline projections. (In other words, instead of adding $3 trillion in new debt over the next decade, Washington would add $11 trillion.) Debt held by the public would climb to 94 percent of GDP in 2022, the highest figure since just after World War II.
With that background, here are some of the scariest debt and economic charts I pulled out of the CBO report:

Lady Gardeners
This portrait is a detail from Who's Who at Kew by Magnus Irvin, on display in the Princess of Wales Conservatory for the How Kew Grew Summer Festival, 2006.
Take an interactive tour....
The first lady gardeners came to Kew in 1895, entering into what was then regarded as an exclusively male profession. Alice Hutchings and a Miss Gulvin were the first, followed by Gertrude Cope and Eleanor Morland, pictured here.
The Director, William Thiselton-Dyer, had been persuaded to take two female Swanley Horticultural College graduates on as 'Improvers' in the Gardens, but on condition they dressed as men! He was determined that they should avoid arousing the passions of their male colleagues.
They wore shirt and tie under a heavy brown tweed suit consisting of jacket, waistcoat (complete with watch chain) and a peaked cap which they 'found it difficult to wear becomingly'.
Of course corsets and voluminous dresses with hooped skirts would not have been very practical for digging, let alone wielding scythes and hay-forks, but the fact that their garb – save the bloomers – was that of a typical male labourer, gave conservative society much reason to titillate, saying 'who needs blooms when you've bloomers at Kew':
'They gardened in bloomers the newspapers said, So to Kew without waiting all Londoners sped; From the tops of the buses they had a fine view, of the ladies in bloomers who gardened at Kew.'
Punch, 1896

Toni Trucks Talks About Rob and Kristen with E! Online
Kristen Stewart is very easy on the eyes.
"Kristen is porcelain—and magnetic," Breaking Dawn: Part 2 actress Toni Trucks said at last night's premiere of her new movie, Ruby Sparks. "I even found myself on set with her and all of a sudden I'd be like, 'Why am I staring at Kristen right now?'"
And K.Stew, 22, and her beau Robert Pattinson, 26, couldn't have been nicer.
"They're great," said Trucks, 31. "Kristen was always lovely to me and really laid back and Rob was so joyful and cool. They're both wonderful, cool as a cucumber. I don't think anyone can really judge people too harshly when you have all eyes on you at all times."

A talk by Dr. Minghui Hu as part of the History of Science Spring 2013 Colloquium.
Far from the triumph of scientific rationality, the success of Jesuit mathematical astronomy in early modern China resulted from its more accurate prediction in celestial events, its survival through political and criminal persecution, and the separation of its technical merits from its proselytizing agenda. All three factors depended critically on how the Jesuits maintained a solid standing and viable coalition in the Kangxi emperor's court (1661-1722).
Dr. Minghui Hu is an Associate Professor at the History Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
This talk is part of the History of Science Spring 2013 Colloquium by the UCLA Department of History.

First reviews for F1 2012 have arrived
The first reviews for Codemasters' latest racer, F1 2012, have arrived and they range from 70 to around 90%.
An overview:
- Official Xbox Magazine UK: 90
- X360Achievements: 90
- Meristation: 86
- Videogamer: 80
- Playstation Official Magazine UK: 80
- GameInformer: 78
- Eurogamer: 70
Worth noting: the lowest score is from Eurogamer and they checked out the PS3 version. Let's see what they have to say:
But for all the pleasure it provides, it's never quite enough to shift F1 2012 away from the sense that this is another minor update, and one that's guilty of making some of the main mistakes of its predecessors while even exaggerating others. The penalty system's been improved for F1 2012 – overtake a driver by cutting a corner and, in theory, you'll be given time to grant the position back, while there's now even the optional inclusion of the pit-line exit rule – but it's as erratic as ever in implementation, while a couple of graphical glitches marred a season's worth of play. Bizarrely – and most painfully for someone who spends much of his life wanting to be Kimi Raikkonen – the ability to take an existing driver through an entire season has now been excised completely.
Seems the game is scoring higher on X360 than on PS3.

Kevin Macdonald to bring The End of Eternity
Posted by LiveFor on April 23, 2009
Kevin Macdonald has made a deal with New Regency to develop and direct The End of Eternity, the 1955 Isaac Asimov novel according to Variety.
The Eternity of the title is an organization and a place which exists outside time. It is staffed by humans (usually male) called Eternals who are recruited from different eras of human history commencing with the twenty-seventh century. The Eternals are capable of traveling "upwhen" and "downwhen" within Eternity and entering the conventional temporal world at almost any point of their choice, apart from a section of the far future which they cannot enter. Collectively they form a corps of Platonic guardians who carry out carefully calculated and planned strategic minimum actions, called Reality Changes, within the temporal world in order to minimise human suffering as integrated over the whole of (future) human history.
It sounds like major league sci-fi and I think I'll be having a read of it when I can.
The director is following up the newspaper drama "State of Play" with "Eagle of the Ninth," a second-century Roman military drama for Focus Features

What will Ann McCrory tell her hubbie about the NC House over dinner tonight?
May 9, 2013 at 2:57 pmCategory:Uncategorized
Probably something like: "Don't you ever send me over there again!" Or maybe, "There are some seriously troubled souls in that place!"
As you're probably already aware, the North Carolina House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved a bill this afternoon championed by the Governor's wife, Ann McCrory, to enact some modest new regulations of so-called "puppy mills." It was a bipartisan bill that passed 101-14.
Notwithstanding the First Lady's support and presence in the chamber, however, at least a couple of members felt compelled to reveal their darker sides when it comes to the treatment of animals. This is from a story on WRAL.com: Read More…

I would appreciate it if this media outlet would publish the "official" benefits provided to the families of public safety members who lose their lives or are critically injured in the conduct of their duties. We have had two cases lately, a law enforcement officer and a fire-fighter, both followed by widely publicized private fund-raisers. It would be good to know what the families are provided in accordance with job/contractual/union/related-nonprofits (law enforcement and fire-rescue support organizations) requirements.

ADDISON COUNTY — One of the first large thunderstorms of the season sent 70 mph winds and steady bolts of lightning racing through Vermont late last Wednesday night and into the early hours on Thursday, cutting power to thousands of homes around the state, including more than 1,000 in Addison County.
Central Vermont Public Service Corp. (CVPS) estimated that 24,000 residences lost power during the storm, and by 8 a.m. on Thursday 13,200 remained without power.

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury voters will be asked this summer to endorse a $3 million, 20-year bond to chip away at a mounting backlog of needed repairs to the town's water system infrastructure.
VERGENNES — For the second time in recent months, a longtime member of both the Vergennes Planning Commission and the Development Review Board has decided to step down. On May 18, Mark Hattler, a member of both boards since January 2001, submitted his resignation to aldermen via email.
Hattler's decision, based on his wish to spend more time with his children, follows the departure earlier this spring of longtime planning chairman Neil Curtis, who resigned after a move out of Vergennes.
Mayor Michael Daniels said Hattler would be as hard to replace as Curtis.
BRISTOL — Bristol residents in the village police district voted down the proposed $378,806 police department spending plan for fiscal year 2011 in a narrow 15-14 paper ballot vote on Monday, May 24. At a meeting of the police district, those opposed to the budget cited the rapidly rising cost of supporting the department as their chief concern.
The proposed 2010-2011 budget would have meant a 12.5 percent hike in the amount to be raised by taxes if residents had approved the budget.
NEW HAVEN — The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department and more than 70 community members banded together to conserve nearly 200 acres in the northwest corner of Bristol, finalizing a conservation easement for Jason and Nina Bacon's property on May 21.
The new easement, which is held by Fish and Wildlife, will preserve in perpetuity 194 acres adjacent the Waterworks park on Plank Street. The land will be open for non-vehicular recreation, and the easement now protects valuable maternity colonies for Vermont's only federally endangered mammal, the Indiana bat.
As the success of British Petroleum's most recent ploy to stop the flow of oil gushing into the Gulf Coast remains in doubt and the volume of the oil spill far greater than originally estimated, the political fall-out is predictable — and necessary.
MIDDLEBURY — Athletes from Middlebury, Mount Abraham and Vergennes union high schools won events at a meet hosted by the MUHS team on Wednesday at Middlebury College.
In all, athletes from 13 teams attended the event, which MUHS coach Bill Edson decided to call "The Last Chance Meet" because it is the last meet of the regular season before this weekend's formal state qualifying meet at Essex, and consequently the last chance to qualify for the postseason.
Edson said the college track was also a lure.
As a child I wanted swordfish and artichokes for my birthday dinner. I can't imagine what came over me to ask for swordfish, but I still crave artichokes every spring the way my mother fixed them: steamed whole, upside down. Perhaps I loved them because they were expensive and made their appearance in northern New England groceries so briefly. Perhaps I loved that they came all the way from California.

history of medicine
The opening decade of the 20th century was a period of transition. Flamboyant exhibitionism was falling from favour as surgeons, through experience, learned the merits of painstaking, conscientious operation—treating the tissues gently and carefully controlling every bleeding point. The individualist was not submerged, however, and for many years the development of the various branches of surgery rested on the shoulders of a few clearly identifiable men. Teamwork on a large scale arrived only after World War II. The surgeon, at first, was undisputed master in his own wards and theatre. But as time went on and he found he could not solve his problems alone, he called for help from specialists in other fields of medicine and, even more significantly, from his colleagues in other scientific disciplines. The increasing scope of surgery led to specialization. Admittedly, most general surgeons had a special interest, and for a long time there had been an element of specialization in such fields as ophthalmology, orthopedics, obstetrics, and gynecology; but before long it became apparent that, to achieve progress in certain areas, surgeons had to concentrate their attention on that particular subject.

Gatlin not there yet |
Usain Bolt The world's fastest man Usain Bolt believes American sprinter Justin Gatlin still has a way to go before being considered a major rival, despite the American's recent return to prominence. "I don't want to sound rude, but I think Gatlin had his chance," Bolt told journalists in Italy ahead of tomorrow's Rome Gala Meet, with a chuckle. "He's been on top, but to say 'get ready for the Gatlin show' is funny. There are a lot of other athletes. You can't count out Tyson Gay, and Yohan Blake is back, so I think he has a few guys to get past before he should be worried about me." Gatlin dominated track and field from 2004-2006, claiming 100m gold at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens and then the sprint double at the Helsinki World Championships one year later. However, in 2006 he was banned from the sport for four years after being found guilty of a doping offence. His personal best time of 9.77 set in Qatar in 2006 was as a result annulled.
The American returned to the sport in 2010 and claimed gold in the World Indoor Championships in Istanbul earlier this year. Gatlin then went on to run his most impressive time since returning to the sport, clocking 9.87 to defeat long-time rival and Bolt's compatriot Asafa Powell by one hundredth of a second, in Doha, Qatar. After defeating Powell, Gatlin turned his attention to the new sprint king, claiming that people will be glad to see him returning to challenge the sprinter's dominance. "They have watched the Bolt show for a couple of years and they want to see someone else in the mix as well. I'm glad to come up and step up and take charge with that," Gatlin was quoted as saying after the race. |

Update: State media skips Saudi loan news after hostile remarks
Saudi Arabia's Finance Minister, Dr. Ibrahim Abdulaziz Al-Assaf, who was in Addis Ababa yesterday afternoon, in what appears to be a pre-planned visit.
His meeting with PM Hailemariam focused on "the need to strengthen activities of Saudi Arabian investors engaged in the agriculture sector in Ethiopia", including exhibition of Agricultural products by the same investors, according to state media reports.
The Minister also signed agreement with his Ethiopian counter-part, Minister Sufian Ahmed, for a total of $25 million dollar loans and on taxation issues.
The signing of agreements was reported on the state owned broadcaster yesterday evening, but it is missing on its website. The same is true for the websites of Addis Zemen and Ethiopian Herald, published by the Ethiopian Press Agency.
Though the Ethiopian News Agency (ENA) reported the agreements on its website, it was only in the English version with a vague heading: "Ethiopia signs loans, avoidance of double taxation agreements". A title unlikely to catch attention in a country that seems to sign aid, loans and agreements every other day.
The news caught my attention when I visited Saudi Press Agency's website, which posted it as follows:
Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia Sign Agreement on Preventing Double Taxation and Tax Evasion
March 01, 2013, SPA — The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia signed here yesterday an agreement on preventing double taxation and tax evasion.
The agreement was co-signed by Finance Minister Dr. Ibrahim bin Abdulaziz Al-Assaf of Saudi Arabia and Finance and Economic Development Minister Sufian Ahmed of Ethiopia.
In a statement following the signing ceremony, Dr. Al-Assaf said that the volume of trade exchange between the two countries increased from SR206 million in 2000 to SR849 million in 2011, adding that this is the 31st agreement signed by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with other countries on preventing double taxation.
Meanwhile, Dr. Al-Assaf and Ahmed signed an agreement under which the Saudi Fund for Development (SFD) shall provide Ethiopia with a loan worth of SR56.25 million to support the Ethiopian government plans in enhancing economic and social development and reducing poverty in rural areas.
More interestingly, any reference to Saudi Arabia was conspicuously missing on A Week in the Horn, the bulletin released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs every Friday. It reported neither the Saudi Minister's meeting with PM Hailemariam, nor the signing of the agreements.
Even more strangely, the Ministry's website has no mention of its spokesperson's interview transmitted on prime time the national Television, though it is posted on ETV and ENA websites titled, "Accusations by Saudi Deputy Defense Minister shocking, unacceptable: Ministry".
The under-reporting of the agreements on loans (which would be 460ml birr in local currency) and taxation issues is significant. Such news are often highlighted in the state media as a showcase of the nation's successful foreign relations and economic diplomacy.
Not to forget, the Saudi loan is destined finance the implementation of the Gode Kebridehar Rural Electrification project in the Somali region of Ethiopia (a.k.a. "Ogaden", as the western media like to call it).
It would be tricky to make too much of the under-reporting of the loan in the state media, though the case of the Foreign Ministry's website is too strange too ignore. It is worth keeping in mind, however, until something more concrete unfolds.

Alzheimer's: How to help a caregiver
Alzheimer's care is a round-the-clock job. When you offer to help an Alzheimer's caregiver, be specific — and gently persistent.
By Mayo Clinic staffAlzheimer's caregivers need all the support they can get. If you know someone who's caring for a loved one who has Alzheimer's disease, here's how to help.
Be specific
When someone you care about is going through a difficult time, you might say, "Let me know how I can help." It's a nice gesture, but such offers can be difficult to accept — primarily because they're not specific. Instead, make concrete offers of help.
For example:
- "I'm going to the grocery store. What can I pick up for you?"
- "I've got a couple of hours free tomorrow afternoon. May I sit in for you while you run a few errands or take some time for yourself?"
- "I doubled my meatloaf recipe so that I could share it with you. I brought enough to last you for several meals."
- "Do you need some laundry done? I can pick it up today and bring it back clean tomorrow."
- "Does your yard need to be mowed? I'd be happy to take care of it this weekend."
Sometimes sending a card or making a phone call to check in on a caregiver means a lot. Emails and text messages work, too — but often personal visits are even better. Contact with the outside world can help lift a caregiver's spirits.
Recognize signs of caregiver stress
Keep in mind that some caregivers have a difficult time accepting help, mistakenly believing they should do everything themselves. This attitude can be harmful not only to the caregiver, but also to the person who has Alzheimer's. Caregiver stress can lead to irritability, anger, exhaustion, social withdrawal, anxiety, depression and other problems.
If your offers of help aren't accepted, be gently persistent. Remind the caregiver that he or she doesn't have to do this alone — and the best way to take care of someone else is to first take care of yourself.

Two events defined Jericho Toilolo's first year as Cal Lutheran's starting quarterback: He had a couple of phenomenal games, and he very nearly died because of an injury.
It has taken until now — two years later, in his senior season — to put the burdens of both events behind him.
Which he certainly has. Even with the struggles he endured as a junior, Toilolo goes into Saturday's NCAA Division III playoff game at Linfield (Ore.) with an 18-4 record as CLU's starter, including a 14-1 mark in SCIAC play. This year, he and the Kingsmen are 8-1.
"In the long run, that's the only stat that matters," said CLU head coach Ben McEnroe.
And if Toilolo's never quite put together numbers like he had in that fateful stretch as a sophomore — with three consecutive wins, bookended by efforts in which he threw for 464 yards and six touchdowns, and 333 yards and four scores — well, that's just fine with the quarterback from Helix High in San Diego, and with his coaches.
"Although my numbers are down," says Toilolo — he's thrown for 1,784 yards and 15 touchdowns, and is completing 57 percent of his passes — "we won a conference championship because of our running game, and were able to be a complete offense because of our running game."
Which is not to say the 6-foot-1, 185-pound Toilolo isn't still a crucial factor in CLU's offensive success. It's just that what he does now doesn't really lead to gaudy numbers.
"We're looking," says McEnroe, "for a quarterback who's going to understand the run game, understand pass protections, understand the passing game. And Jericho seems to have great mastery of all three of those areas."
Adds offensive coordinator Clay Richardson: "Managing the game — that's his real strength. He is so comfortable running the offense that if we just said, 'You go ahead and call it,' I imagine he'd be pretty successful with what we're trying to do."
As it is, CLU signals in the plays from the sidelines, but when Toilolo crouches behind center he has the ability to change calls based on the defensive alignment he sees.
"Jericho's got the keys to the offense," says McEnroe. "Clay tells him what we're looking for and gives him some suggestions of what we'd like to check into. But if he sees something, he has the ultimate responsibility to put us in what he thinks is the best play."
The ability to do that, Toilolo says, reflects the difference between where he is now and where he was as a starter in 2007, in terms of knowing the offense and having the composure and leadership skills to employ that knowledge.
Toilolo wasn't originally expected to start in 2007, but was thrust into the job when returning quarterback Danny Jones transferred out after former coach Scott Squires left and McEnroe became head coach.
But his stint as starter came to a crashing halt when he was injured in the second quarter against Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, although he stayed in until the game was out of reach, after he'd thrown for four TDs.
"I knew there was something wrong," he recalls. " I was really short of breath after every play, and I didn't know why. I couldn't scream out the cadence, couldn't yell out the plays."
That night, he now admits, he passed out more than once — "I thought I was just dehydrated," he said — and it was teammate Ebere Winston who finally convinced him the next day to go to the hospital.
It turned out Toilolo had a broken rib, which had punctured a lung, and was passing out because of the resulting blood loss. He was told — rather emphatically — that he might well have bled to death had he waited any longer to seek treatment.
"Probably one of the dumbest things I've ever done in my life," Toilolo says now. ". I ended up getting yelled at by almost every nurse and doctor in the hospital for not going to the hospital sooner. And our trainers yelled at me, too."
The fallout from that season was twofold: First, Toilolo had to convince himself he was recovered from an injury that left him almost completely inactive for six months, and forced him to start virtually from scratch in terms of conditioning and weightlifting once he was cleared to resume activity. And Toilolo had to deal with the outsized expectations that came with throwing for 464 yards and six touchdowns in just his second collegiate start.
Clearly, the aftereffects of the injury were tougher.
"It took me halfway through last season to get the image of getting hit out of my head," Toilolo says. " I thought I was (over it), and I kept trying to tell myself I was, but the coaches were showing me in the film, 'You're not.' You could see it on film — as soon as the play broke down or something went wrong I was running with my head down."
Toilolo says it wasn't until CLU's fourth game, a 44-13 win over Pomona-Pitzer, that he began to feel comfortable. (He threw for 278 yards and three touchdowns that day.) But Richardson said it was in the season's final game, a 24-17 win at Redlands, that he finally reached his full potential.
"He just refused to lose," Richardson said. "It was not anything he said. It was just the way he played. You could see the other guys going, 'OK, if he's going to play this way, we can play this way.' And we pulled out a game we probably really shouldn't have won."
By then, Toilolo was getting beyond the memories of those two big games a year earlier, which McEnroe believes came in large part from "street-ball plays" as the quarterback free-lanced his way out of trouble.
"There were some magnificent plays on his part," the coach adds. "Don't get me wrong; I'm not trying to take anything away from it."
But while it wasn't really what his coaches were looking for, Toilolo had a harder time putting those games behind him.
"I was coming back expecting to put up the same kind of numbers," Toilolo said, "and I was trying too hard to make those kinds of plays, instead of just playing our game. And coming into this year, I decided not to care about the numbers so much instead, just to put us in the right play to be successful, whether it's an 80-yard touchdown or a 5-yard completion."
CLU's 8-1 record, and its first playoff berth in 27 years, attest it was the right approach.
So does Richardson's assessment of his quarterback.
"I wouldn't trade him for anybody in the country," Richardson said.
"I'll take him into any game we have. He's a just a phenomenal person, and he's a tough, tough football player."
