A pro for a night, Max Sherman displays his hockey chops
Photo by Ezra Newick
Max Sherman sat on a bench in the empty locker room at the M.V. Arena early Saturday afternoon and considered the question.
"How do I feel? I'm a little nervous, but I feel like I belong in this game. That I can play," he said.
Mr. Sherman, 27, assistant coach of the Martha's Vineyard Regional High School (MVRHS) boys hockey team, was five hours away from becoming a professional hockey player with the Cape Cod Bluefins (Hyannis) of the independent Frontier Hockey League (FHL). The FHL has eight teams spread around the eastern U. S.and Canada, from Illinois to Ottawa. Teams play 50 games in just over four months.
Mr. Sherman has the hockey chops to be comfortable in his pro debut. "I started skating at three years old, played youth hockey in this building," he said.
He was a defenseman on two MVRHS state hockey championship teams and played two more years at St. Mark's School before matriculating at Northeastern University, from which he graduated in 2008.
He got noticed in high school despite a senior year injury and received college hockey offers but chose Northeastern University. "I chose academics, though I thought about walking on (trying out, but without a scholarship) for hockey (at N.U.)," he said.
Instead, Mr. Sherman took a degree in four years and worked real world jobs in several parts of the country for a couple of years. Hockey was always a focus. "When I thought about moving someplace, I always checked out where the hockey was," he laughed.
Mr. Sherman returned to the Island three years ago, volunteered to work with the boys hockey team and this year became assistant to Coach Matt Mincone. On Saturday, Mr. Sherman was scratching an itch that many athletes have but few get to try, namely testing themselves at the professional level.
Fans love stories of players emerging from obscurity to play on the big stage. Just think Lin-sanity, the current craze over Jeremy Lin, the New York Knick who has emerged from basketball obscurity to star on one of the most famous sports stages of all, Madison Square Garden. Independent, minor league baseball player Daniel Nava, for example, stunned Boston and the baseball world two years ago by hitting a grand-slam home run on the first pitch he saw in the big leagues – to date his only homer in his only major league season.
On Saturday, Mr. Sherman wasn't thinking about a Cinderella career story for his one-game contract. "No, this is not a new career, just something I'm glad to be able to do. I have a job. I'm establishing a career," he said, referring to his work as a personal trainer. He also knows that the minor league hockey circuit is a grind. "These guys play five games in six nights for $300 a week," he said.
"I can't prepare (for this game) any more than I have. You just have to play the game. It'll be faster, I'll have to adjust to the tempo," said Mr. Sherman, who has played against some elite players, including Brian Boyle of the National Hockey League's New York Rangers.
At 5:15 Saturday evening, with heavy metal tunes from the rafters, Mr. Sherman heard his name announced as the Bluefins' starting left defenseman. He skated to the Bluefins' blue line for the national anthem, lining up beside teammate and Vineyarder Marinko "Mick" Vukota, facing the Danbury (Conn.) Whalers.
Mr. Vukota, 45, a native of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and now an Edgartown resident, spent 11 years in the National Hockey League, mostly as an enforcer for the New York Islanders, for whom he is the all-time leader with 2,071 penalty minutes. He un-retired for this game to add an Island flavor to the community's first pro hockey game.
Hockey at the lower professional level is a fast, tough, and occasionally nasty game played by grown men looking for a lucrative career or enthusiastically reliving past exploits. They know the dirty tricks and they skate with their heads up.
When the first puck dropped, Mr. Sherman, at 6' 3" and 230 pounds, established his place early, moving the puck well and handing out some big hits along the boards. One first period check earned him the game's first penalty, as he dropped one of Danbury's small, quick forwards in open ice near the boards in the defensive end of the ice.
Mr. Sherman took a regular shift on defense, occasionally rushing the puck in the offensive zone. His play quickly blended with that of the other pros. He became just another good player in the Island's first pro hockey game, dubbed The Fish Bowl, which Danbury eventually won 4-3, capitalizing on two late third period goals.
The home crowd of 200 to 300 paid attention, cheering Mr. Sherman's steady play. He was also watched closely by his high school players. Aside from Boston Bruins goalkeeper Tim Thomas, few hockey players are noted for their speech making, and the MVRHS varsity team, seated as a group in the stands, was not the exception. After the first period, with the Bluefins holding a 1-0 lead, the players assessed Coach Sherman's effort as "pretty good," and "he's doing okay."
"I hope I see a fight," one player ventured. The young Vineyarder got his wish in the third period, when Mr. Vukota dropped his gloves briefly with Whalers' tough guy Jason McCrimmon. Mr. Vukota chastened the 6' 4" forward, despite giving away nearly 20 years in age.
The punch-up followed a last minute second period hit by Whalers' netminder Peter Vetri, who inexplicably charged out of his goal and starched Bluefins center Brad Surdam against the boards. Mr. Vetri earned himself a game misconduct and some hard feelings on the Bluefins bench. Hockey, like baseball, has a payback rule. You hit my guy, I'll hit your guy.
As the game progressed, a reporter remembered a comment Mr. Sherman made in the empty locker room earlier that day. "I have a passion for hockey, and my job now is to pass it on to young players. This game tonight will be more of a benchmark, a validation of my hockey experience," he said.

Onroot plugin simply takes a gimp image and dumps it to the X root window.
The preview window shows a scaled version of the X root window. The options are relatively self explanatory except for the free hand which lets you use the mouse to move the image around the preview screen before placing the image on the root window.
In this mode you can also scale the image; (use the mouse when the cursor changes shape or use the +/- keys for aspect scaling); set the background color the image is placed on).
This version changes the PDB interface so if you have written any scripts that use this plugin then they will need to be modified.

« Breaking the Fast: A New Headache Pattern | Main | Illness or Not, Plans Get Derailed »
The Migraine Thief Breaks My Heart
By Kerrie Smyres | February 4, 2013
My oldest niece has been accepted to the college of her choice. I'm so, so proud of her and excited for the adventures awaiting her. And I'm crying because I missed her middle and high school years. Debilitating chronic migraine robbed me of the chance to watch, and help, my niece grow up.
Much of what migraine has taken from me I can still have — the career, time with friends, travel — but kids don't stop changing. There's so much I wanted to do and be for my niece and her sister and brother. Yes, they know I love them and that I'd visit and call more if I could (at least as well as kids can understand the havoc chronic illness wreaks on an adult's life), but I wanted to be present as they grew up. I wanted to watch them mature from kids to preteens to teenagers to young adults. I wanted to be an adult they could call for help navigating the perils of adolescence.
The opportunity hasn't completely passed me by. I truly believe I'm on a path to more migraine improvement. My oldest niece is 17, the younger one is 15, my nephew is 13. Many chances remain for me to be in their lives, especially if I do continue to feel better. Still, I've missed so many years, so many pivotal experiences, so much growth and change.
I've said that I don't think I could survive these years of horrendous migraines without my innate optimism. I can always find the silver lining. Not today. Knowing I may have good times ahead cannot make up for all that I've missed with these kids I love so much.
My heart is breaking.

When you come up we'll have a family session with pictures and stories and you can catch up on what you may have missed. I have been looking at the picture of the beautiful angel with the black eye and the pint-sized fisherman holding up his HUGE, heavy fish, and Susannah on her grandpa's lap! I felt so guilty that I was not able to be with the grandkids more when they were small. I felt I should have been available to help their mother (but she did a GREAT job without me!)

"THE more I think of it," says
Mr. Ruskin, "I find this conclusion more impressed upon me--that the
greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something,
and tell what it saw in a plain way." In these pages an attempt is
made to tell "in a plain way" a few of the things which Science
is now seeing with regard to the Ascent of Man. Whether these seeings are
there at all is another matter. But, even if visions, every thinking mind,
through whatever medium, should look at them. What Science has to say about
himself is of transcendent interest to Man, and the practical bearings
of this theme are coming to be more vital than any on the field of knowledge.
The thread which binds the facts is, it is true, but a hypothesis As the
theory, nevertheless. with which at present all scientific work is being
done, it is assumed in every page that follows.
Though its stand-point is Evolution and its
subject Man, this book is far from being designed to prove that Man has
relations, compromising or otherwise, with lower animals. Its theme is
Ascent, not Descent. It is a History, not an Argument. And Evolution, in
the narrow sense in which it is often used when applied to Man, plays little
part in the drama outlined here. So far as the general scheme of Evolution
is introduced--and in the Introduction and elsewhere this is done at length
--the object is the important one of pointing out how its nature has been
misconceived, indeed how its greatest factor has been overlooked in almost
all contemporary scientific thinking. Evolution was given to the modern
world out of focus, was first seen by it out of focus, and has remained
out of focus to the present hour. Its general basis has never been re-examined
since the time of Mr. Darwin; and not only such speculative sciences as
Teleology, but working sciences like Sociology have been led astray by
a fundamental omission. An Evolution Theory drawn to scale, and with the
lights and shadows properly adjusted--adjusted to the whole truth and reality
of Nature and of Man--is needed at present as a standard for modern thought;
and though a reconstruction of such magnitude is not here presumed, a primary
object of these pages is to supply at least the accents for such a scheme.
Beyond an attempted readjustment of the accents
there is nothing here for the specialist--except, it may be, the reflection
of his own work. Nor, apart from Teleology, is there anything for the theologian.
The limitations of a lecture-audience made the treatment of such themes
as might appeal to him impossible; while owing to the brevity of the course,
the Ascent had to be stopped at a point where all the higher interest begins.
All that the present volume covers is the Ascent of Man, the Individual,
during the earlier stages of his evolution. It is a study in embryos, in
rudiments, in installations; the scene is the primeval forest; the date,
the world's dawn. Tracing his rise as far as Family Life, this history
does not even follow him into the Tribe; and as it is only then that social
and moral life begin in earnest, no formal discussion of these high themes
occurs. All the higher forces and phenomena with which the sciences of
Psychology, Ethics, and Theology usually deal come on the world's stage
at a later date, and no one need be surprised if the semi-savage with whom
we leave off is found wanting in so many of the higher potentialities of
a human being.
The Ascent of Mankind, as distinguished from
the Ascent of the Individual, was originally summarized in one or two closing
lectures, but this stupendous subject would require a volume for itself,
and these fragments have been omitted for the present. Doubtless it may
disappoint some that at the close of all the bewildering vicissitudes recorded
here, Man should appear, after all, so poor a creature. But the great lines
of his youth are the lines of his maturity, and it is only by studying
these, in themselves and in what they connote, that the nature of Evolution
and the quality of Human progress can be perceived.

What to Eat, Who to Believe – Short Version
Sorting through all the diet and nutrition information available can be frustrating. Some friends just say, "It's too much! I hear everything. Isn't there a short version of what I should eat, and who should I believe?"
OK, sure.. here's a short version.

I's that time of the year. The time when we all decide we're going to be healthy and eat better. The question that frequently arises is, what is the best diet for me to follow? The answer to this question has been so varied and changed so frequently over the years that it's no wonder we all suffer from analysis paralysis when trying to decide what we should be putting into our mouths. We have been influenced by nutritional researchers, our doctors and our government and look at the sad state we're currently in. Let's try empiric logic and attempt to discover what we should be eating based on what our genes dictate. We couldn't do any worse.
The new diet I am recommending is actually 60,000-100,000 years old. It is called the Paleolithic, or Caveman diet. Simply, if you can hunt it, fish it, pull it off of a tree or out of the ground, then you can eat it. Simple as that. This is how we ate thousands of years ago and how we have evolved to eat and should be eating now. Back in Paleolithic times there were no processed foods or food manufacturers. Another basic recommendation is, eat what you are. We are primarily composed of protein and fat and very little carbohydrate. We don't need to spend millions of dollars to figure that out…"
The whole article is a good explanation of the logic behind Paleo.
My favorite defense of Paleo right now goes like this: Consider the many thousands and thousands of diet studies published each year, but we get less healthy and more confused. It's just not working! I don't think anyone is going to work out how to buy food at Wal Mart and look like you don't, at least not while I can still walk.
Paleo eliminates the variables (to an extent). Until science can figure about a better way of eating than nature did, I think I'm going to switch off the whitecoats and their boring papers and hang out with the hunter gatherers. Maybe the whitecoats will figure it out someday, but they have to learn how to think first.

Straight Health Wiki
Spotted this on Marksdailyapple forum-
A new wiki site called "Straight Health" just started, and according to the creator,
I put together a wiki about health. Paleolithic aspects are included but its primarily about populations that have been documented as healthy, modern scientific reasoning and research, etc…The ultimate idea is a site where if you wanted to talk to somebody about some health issue, you can easily pull up a concise but extensive document detailing everything relevant/significant, with sources and particular arguments included.
Here's a link to the main page…
I thought the "Heath and Diets" page was really interesting. It steps you through how primates and early man ate and works up to today. Link to the Health and Diets page…
Share on FacebookSF Chronicle Article on Paleo Eating is Pretty Cool
From SFGate-com-
Chris LaLanne, grandnephew of the legendary fitness guru Jack LaLanne, and his wife Maribel recently had a paleo cooking class in San Fran that was featured in the San Francisco Chronicle. it's pretty good!
Share on Facebook…The premise of paleo: Humans are evolutionarily designed to consume certain foods. Post-agricultural revolution, the human diet changed dramatically, and for the worse. We aren't built to eat most of what we consume today and as a result, we have high levels of diabetes, heart disease, obesity and are generally unhealthy. A return to our roots means a return to good health.
The core tenets of the diet are simple: 1) eliminate grains, legumes, dairy and processed foods; and 2) eat as much lean meat, fish, fruit and non-starchy vegetables as you want. Compare this to the 2010 U.S. dietary guidelines, which encourage increased intake of whole grains and fat-free or low-fat dairy products…

Share on FacebookA Paleo Site Reviews "Why We Get Fat," and Challenges "Calories In/Calories Out"
I keep looking for a good rebuttal to Taubes challenge to the "calories in/calories out" theory of weight management, and instead, I keep finding things like the following review of "Why We Get Fat" on www.hunter-gatherer.com-
…Taubes takes dead aim at the calories-in / calories-out hypothesis. This is the hypothesis that obesity is*caused* by over-eating or under-exercising (a caloric surplus). It seems true on the face of it — the only way you can become heavier and fatter is to take in more calories than you expend. This hypothesis has dominated the last fifty years of mainstream health advice from doctors, government officials, and many health gurus. It underpins our nation's low fat hysteria (fat has more calories per gram than carbohydrate, therefore fat is evil!), our exercise madness (go burn those calories!), and contributes to the notion that fat causes heart disease (if obesity increases the risk of heart disease, and if fat leads to obesity, then Honey Nut Cheerios must be heart healthy!). But what if the calories-in / calories-out hypothesis is wrong? What if we've spent two generations and billions of dollars re-engineering our food system and altering our eating habits away from fat…and making ourselves fatter and unhealthier as a result?…
…The answer, as Taubes argues, is carbohydrate. Carbohydrate drives insulin drives fat storage. This is not a new idea, and it is not a fad diet. It was the conventional wisdom for hundreds of years before low fat hysteria took hold a few decades ago. In fact, Taubes frequently tells the reader that there is nothing new in this book — not only is it simply a more succinct version of GCBC, but the arguments in the book are not original to Taubes. They were the accepted wisdom based on scientific evidence, much of it conducted by the Germans and Austrians in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, before World War II derailed and buried their work…
Check out the comments afterwards, they are good reading too.
This stuff is making the rounds on websites, and there is a lot of disagreement.
The calories in/calories out theory (at least as I understand it) is that weight can be reduced to a simple equation. A pound of fat equals X amount of calories, and to reduce one's weight one pound, you simply do a specific amount of work (in calories) corresponding to that pound and the pound is gone.
If you want to lose another pound, just do it again. Keep going until you reach your goal. Easy.
If the body really works this way, there should be no disagreement. If there is something specific wrong with what Taubes is saying (calories in/calories out is a myth), it should be simple, and everyone on each of the sites that say he is wrong would be saying the same things. Also, we would not know anyone who tried to "work it off" and watch it come right back on.
It's true that quite a few people don't like to hear this, but so far the criticism is scattered all over the place.
Why is it that if you "work it off," people are finding that the weight just returns? Are they eating one pound's worth of calories too many for each pound that returns?
As the summary above points out, no. "Carbohydrate drives insulin drives fat storage." This explanation is meant to account for why people just see the weight rebound.
Update: I am running across more reviews of WWGF, so instead of making a new entry for each, I will just list them here:
Gary Taubes & Why We Get Fat, by the Weight Maven
Share on FacebookExample: How Diet Studies Lie (Whole Grains)
Eat whole grains! They make you healthy and you will live longer!
Who says? People who want to sell them to you, and people who will just say anything and try and prove it with bogus statistics.
We Were Not Meant to Eat This Stuff in the First Place
Mark's Daily Apple, a website about eating naturally (primal) is about an approach to diets that shows how foods added to the human diet in recent history (measured in thousands of years) are actually less healthy than, for example, "eating like a caveman." One of the things added to the human diet in recent history has been grains.
Our bodies did not evolve over time by eating cultivated grains. Maybe early humans munched on some when they needed to, but humans were meant to eat lean protein, nuts, and fresh fruits and vegetables, things that were common in our long evolutionary history. Grains were cultivated in the last few thousand years, when people started learning agriculture. This is a tiny blimp in time compared to all of human history.
Just because this cultivation fed more people, it does not prove that it is healthy, or even a good idea. It just shows that it fed more people. There was a practical and economic reason to do it.
In more recent times, we have been hearing all about food groups, and food pyramids, and these always had a bread/grain component. Why? Because there was still a business reason to sell this stuff. A lot of it was crap, and in fact, wheat makes a lot of people sick and they don't know it. Check this Mayo Clinic link on Celiac Disease.
The latest trend, which even health food suppliers have been fooled by, is to swap "whole grains" for processed grains. This is often backed by all kinds of supposedly scientific studies, with lots of talk about fiber and living better and/or longer. It's still a bunch of crap.
Mark's Daily Apple Takes a Skeptical Look at Whole Grain Study
Studies pop up all the time, and they can use numbers in a lot of deceiving ways. One such study was just ripped apart by an entry on Mark's Daily Apple called "Will Eating Whole Grains Help You Live Longer?" The entry is by Denise Minger, and she found the conclusions to be suspicious.
What Minger doesn't argue with, is that eating whole grains is better than processed crap. That's not too hard to argue with. What the study does not prove, and it is just assumed, is if any of this is even good for you or not? One is just less harmful than the other.
Minger points out some problems in this study that are common tricks when one tries to use data to prove a point-they use "confounders."
What's a confounder? A quick google finds a definition on wiki-
In statistics, a confounding variable (also confounding factor, lurking variable, a confound, or confounder) is an extraneous variable in a statistical model that correlates (positively or negatively) with both the dependent variable and the independent variable. The methodologies of scientific studies therefore need to control for these factors to avoid a false positive (Type I) error; an erroneous conclusion that the dependent variables are in a causal relationship with the independent variable. Such a relation between two observed variables is termed a spurious relationship. Thus, confounding is a major threat to the validity of inferences made about cause and effect, i.e. internal validity, as the observed effects should be attributed to the independent variable rather than the confounder…
Now my brain hurts. What was that about?
Let's pick a simpler example. I will just make one up. Suppose you want to sell bathrobes. You do a study that shows that people who spend the most time in bathrobes get less sunburn, and less skin cancer than people who don't wear them too much. Conclusion: bathrobes are effective in reducing skin cancer. The numbers prove it. Easy.
Of course what you do not say, is that the people who spend the most time in bathrobes are people that stay inside anyway! Duh. They won't get sunburn or skin cancer as much, because they are inside, in their bathrobes.
This is how food studies lie with confounding statistics. It happens all the time.
More Truth About Grains
Minger's entry about the study didn't spend a lot of time on what it really wrong with grains in the first place. She was really showing how bogus the recent news bit was.
For more detail, take a look at "Why Grains Are Unhealthy," on the same site.
For another view, see "Fiber, Cereals, and Grains; even whole grains and oats are out on a Paleolithic Diet."
For some balance, South Beach says Whole Grains are OK in Phase 2.
What Does Diet for Humans dot com Really Think?
This site is all about exploring the question of what you should eat, what you should do to be healthy, and who to believe. Overall, I agree with the primal/paleo argument for "eating like a caveman." Sisson's primal approach and the Paleo approach are consistent with South Beach Phase 1 (something I had much success with myself) and there is something to it.
You probably don't have to be a purist about it, but avoiding grains is good, and if you must have them, go for whole grain. Just don't get too wrapped up in studies that try and fool people with confounding data!

For instance, lifeguards often get into the pool in their uniform, either to help a swimmer or for staff training.
If you have a story to tell, please send it in.
Last year I spent a few weeks helping a friend tidy up three acres of greenhousing on a farm he'd just taken on. They had not been used for a year or so and on the first day I just started to clear the concrete pathways and weed the beds.
I'd been working for a couple of hours when the sprinkler system suddenly came on, I got quite damp before dashing out to the yard. I hunted around for the controls but found nothing in the greenhouse and no stopcock either so eventually went back to my work.
Two hours later the sprinklers came on again and as it was so hot under the glass in the sun, I carried on working and just got wet, it was quite refreshing. The sprinklers seemed to be on a regular timer of switching on for ten or fifteen minutes every two hours or so, with the heat of the sun it kept the whole place really tropical feeling.
When my friend spoke to the agent for the seller they eventually found out that all the controls and timer were in the adjoining farmhouse, but by that time I had decided to just get wet each day and enjoyed my work wearing just some old jeans and a t-shirt, getting soaked to the skin each day for the three weeks I was there. Great fun.
Sometimes I "accidentally" open the wrong valve and get wet down in the equipment vault. Other times I have to reach down into a pool to clear a drain, getting my shirt soaked, which then runs down into my Levis.
The best times are when I work on the fountain in the middle of a lake. No one can see me and the only way you can adjust the nozzles is to have then running. The water pool is 32 inches deep and if I wear hip boots they just flood, making it difficult to get around, so I just jump in wearing my 501s and boots.
I've been soaked for hours working out there when we were building the fountain. On a hot sunny day it feels great.
We go to walk sometimes, and the preferred place to go is the local creek, I try all the guys wear jeans for thr walk. The end... you know. Is the best work I ever had.
I wore a jean shirt with long sleeves, so I would fill the pots and pans sink up to the brim with water and place a number of dirty pots in the water at the bottom, so I would have to reach down to the bottom to retreive them, soaking my shirt sleeve to the armpit. Then I would bring the pot to the surface with it full of water, place the pot against my stomach and vigorously scrub it out with water heading down my shirt and jeans. Often I would have to take the mats out of the dishwashing room and hose them off. This was another soaking wet adventure.
There was a river between our house and the restaurant, so often I would walk in the river to get to the restaurant, thereby arriving totally soaked. The waitresses, (who are still friends of mine), could not believe how soaked I was at all times. Sometimes, my mother would ask me to clear tables, so I would put an apron over my soaking wet jeans attire, and head out to do that, but generally I was in my dishwashing room.
I also did the lawn at the restaurant, always in completely soaked jeans.
But in the warmer months they are always surprise when I jump in in just my regular clothes, boots and all. Then they laugh about it and all is well.
The last job I did this week, the guy said: "You're going in with just your clothes?" and his wife said: "Honey, he always does that. Where you been at?" Then after he got done laughing, again, all was well. He obviously had no problem with it, I'm going out next week for another dive job for him, with the same wet "suit".
I used to clean my bosses pool and his grandson pushed me in a few times. We are now best mates and he knows I like getting wet. He and I often swim fully clothed in the pool or sea. I also sail with him now and then and we love getting wet on the boat.

FRANKFORT — The last of the original Flying Wallendas is soaring high over Benzie County this week.
Carla Wallenda, 76, will carry on her family's daredevil tradition this week as part of Frankfort's Fourth of July carnival.
Every night through July 8 she'll be 110-feet above the ground, teetering and hanging on her "sway pole" — a steel pole that swings and bends as much as 25 feet to either side of the wire.
She is joined by her fellow performers: husband Mike Morgan and grandson Cody Wallenda.
"I've been performing all my life," said Carla, who began walking a wire when she was just 3. "It gets your adrenaline going. You're out in your own world. No matter what your problems are, when you're out there, everything leaves you."
The Flying Wallendas were founded by Carla's father, Karl, in the 1920s. It's a dangerous profession, and the family had its share of tragedy through the years. In 1962, her aunt Rietta fell to her death, and Karl died in 1978 when he fell from a wire in Puerto Rico.
Today, different branches of the family carry on the tradition all over the country. Nik Wallenda — Carla's grand-nephew — recently walked a tightrope over Niagra Falls from the U.S. to Canada.
But Carla was in Clio that day. She watched it on television from her family's ice cream stand.
"It was just another day at the office for us," she said. "You can't make enough money just doing the act any more, so we added the ice cream stand and a couple of games."
The team spends the winter months in Florida, polishing their act and keeping in shape. Carla performed in nearly every state in the country, but for the past eight or nine years, summer brings her to Michigan to perform at carnivals and festivals around the state.
"I've slowed down traveling, between the cost of fuel and me having to drive a truck pulling a 52-foot trailer," she said.
Carla has no intention of slowing down her act, and she hopes to keep performing for years to come. Meanwhile, she's helping another generation of Wallendas take to the skies; grandson Cody is in training, and he could be performing the family's signature "pyramid" act — a double or triple-decker of tight-rope walkers — in the years to come.
But for now, they're enjoying their time up north.
"We love it here. I'm just enjoying that beautiful lake," she said.
Frankfort's Fourth of July Carnival runs today through July 8. Carla said she and her family will be performing every evening.

Situated in the beautiful Hill Country 20 miles west of the Health Science Center, the Texas Research Park boasts the Institute of Biotechnology (IBT) which is sharing in the 10-year anniversary celebration.
Much of the success of the Texas Research Park in general and the IBT in particular rests in the hands of one man, Wen-Hwa Lee, Ph.D.
Dr. Lee left his laboratory in Southern California almost 10 years ago to travel to the newly built Hayden Head Building at the IBT. His mission was clear - build a world-class research facility in the brushland of South Texas.
While some may have had a difficult time picturing a full-fledged research park of international standing as they gazed at the wildflowers and mesquite trees, Dr. Lee saw a challenge that he could meet. A decade later, the institute continues to grow in staff and reputation, drawing top scientists to its ranks and developing a world-class graduate program in molecular medicine.
"It has been a very exciting time for us," said Dr. Lee, director of the IBT, who arrived in San Antonio in July 1991 with his wife and fellow researcher, Eva Lee, Ph.D., and a team of 20 investigators. "We have achieved a great deal over the years and the future of this park is very bright."
What began as a team of 30 scientists in a largely vacant building has grown into a group of 110 researchers in four sets of laboratories. They conduct investigations in molecular medicine that may one day lead the way to treatments for a host of diseases.
"It has been tremendously satisfying to go from nothing to what is here now and to see the potential for the future," said Z. Dave Sharp, Ph.D., deputy director of the IBT. Dr. Sharp moved his laboratories and team of five researchers to the building in 1990 to prepare for Dr. Lee's arrival. "It is an environment that fosters critical leading-edge science."
Leading-edge science is just what Dr. Lee had in mind when he moved his laboratories to Texas. Dr. Lee was a pioneering cancer geneticist when he took the reins of the IBT, having already led research that found the first human gene linked to the causes of cancer.
"I have learned a lot in the last nine years," said Dr. Lee. "I succeed because my staff shares the same vision I do. They share my optimism, so I know we can make it."
As the institute's staff and reputation have grown, grant funding for researchers and projects also has increased. Funding from the National Institutes of Health climbed from $6 million in the institution's fledgling years to $23 million in 1999. Many of the IBT's scientists and their projects have been featured in national and international journals.
Along with its research reputation, the institute has built a thriving graduate program in molecular medicine. Since its inception in 1993, initial student enrollment has more than doubled, making molecular medicine the largest graduate program at the Health Science Center.
Dr. Lee continues to look to the future, hoping to add more researchers and students to the IBT staff, and predicting that the institution will be an intricate part of the research mecca envisioned for the Texas Research Park. At this time, the South Texas Centers for Biology in Medicine, located adjacent to the IBT, is under construction, and plans for more research facilities are under way.
"It is a great opportunity for us to build a critical mass of scientists in this research park," said Dr. Lee. "As we work together, we will be able to build a truly outstanding biotechnology center in San Antonio."

Sometimes deadlocking the council is not such a bad thing. Especially when they are constantly moving toward raising taxes and spending the taxpayer's hard earned money stupidly. All Ms. Wilson wants is for the rest of the elected officials to come clean and show the rest of us how and where they spent taxpayer's money. As I stated in an earlier post, if you are for parting with your hard earned money,then by all means mail your check to the feds, the state, the city or the county. I'm sure they will cash your check with no questions asked.
