With this specific knob, the GT/CS Logo is located within the Rally III stripe on both the driver and passenger sides. And the Pony Logo is etched and filled with the contrasting color located between both the stripes and facing the inside of the cabin.
These manual shift knobs are made in the USA using the same high-quality partek resins found in world-class billiard balls, and are engineered for long-term strength and durability. Choose from a variety of stripe and color combinations that suit your individual taste. Color options are listed by knob color, then stripe color. The GT/CS logo on either side of the knob is the same color as the shift knob. The rally stripes, shift pattern, and pony logo are all inlaid and polished smooth to the touch and guaranteed to last the life of your vehicle.
This custom shift knob features a 2-1/8" diameter and the correct 12mm x 1.25 thread pattern for your 2011-2014 GT/CS 6-Speed Manual Transmission Mustang.
*All knobs are custom made to order and take 3-4 weeks to ship from CJ Pony Parts.
*Will also fit 2011-2014 V6 and GT Manual Transmission Mustangs.
Please Note: This manual shift knob does not include a jam nut. However, a jam nut or threaded shift boot retainer is required to make sure the shift knob is properly aligned when tightened on the shift handle. A shift boot retainer is recommended instead of a jam nut as it will prevent a gap between the new shift knob and the factory boot. Without a jam nut or shift boot retainer you run the risk of splitting the shift knob in half if you over tighten knob when it bottoms out on the shift handle.

In May, a majority of Cleveland County and North Carolina voters turned down an amendment to recognize legal gay marriage. With more states accepting same-sex marriage, could North Carolinians change their stance in years to come?
More states legalized same-sex unions during this month�s election as Maine and Maryland became the first states to approve marriage equality measures via popular vote.
In May, a majority of Cleveland County and North Carolina voters turned down an amendment to recognize legal gay marriage.
Eighty percent of county voters said �yes� to Amendment One, which defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
But working to promote marriage equality in the Tar Heel state isn�t over for Neighbors for Equality. The Boiling Springs-based grassroots effort promoting marriage equality worked months to garner support to defeat Amendment One, notably affecting the Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transsexual/Queer community.
�But to see these advancements, (across the nation) gives us hope for the country that LGBTQ citizens won�t be denied rights simply because of who they desire to marry,� said Collyn Warner, co-executive director for NFE.
Before Tuesday�s election, gay marriage was legal in six states, including the District of Columbia. Minnesota voters rejected a proposed ban on gay-marriage in its state constitution this week.
Strong opposition
As supporters of marriage equality make strides on the issue, opposers are steadfast.
Dr. Rit Varriale, pastor of Elizabeth Baptist Church in Shelby, said in May that a vote for the amendment was to understand God�s love. He referred to a scripture in 1 John 5:2: �By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.�
"God gives us commands because He love us," Varriale wrote this week in an email to The Star. "Of course, many people in our society would ridicule that statement to scorn because they don�t believe the Bible is modern, but it is true. Does a loving parent let a child do whatever he or she chooses? Of course not. Rather, a loving parent establishes boundaries that are in the best interests of the child. Likewise, God�s commands are for the good of humanity."
Varriale said the biblical commands relating to marriage have a utilitarian purpose that works for the benefit of society as a whole.
"For that reason, the best example we can give people, put another way � the best way we can love people � is to 'love God and keep His commandments,'" he said. "Thus, a rejection of God�s commandments coupled with the willingness to let people do whatever they desire in their pursuit of happiness amounts to an irresponsible lack of love."
Varriale said he is certain that in the years ahead, North Carolinians will revisit the issue of same-sex marriage, but not at the polls.
"Most likely, the N.C. Marriage Amendment will be declared unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court," he said. "When that time comes, the Church will be forced to decide whether it will obey the government or God."
But with more states accepting same-sex marriage, could North Carolinians change their stance in years to come?
Readers weigh in
Dozens of comments on The Star�s Facebook page showed readers remain split on the issue.
�Let them live together,� said Deanna Brown, a Boiling Springs resident. �But do not allow marriage, for the simple fact that God says it is a sin.�
Justin Ledbetter wrote marriage equality could happen in the state, but it would take time.
�I think we�ll be the last one,� Mooresboro resident Todd Phillips said about the state allowing same-sex marriages.
Evelyn Ledbetter said the government should stay out of the issue.
Warner doesn�t have an answer. She said not electing pro-equality candidates factors into the change NFE strives for. This election saw its first openly gay woman elected to the U.S. Senate, Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin from Wisconsin.
�With most civil rights struggles, change at the federal level would be nice because that means you don�t have a state-by-state constant battle for equality,� she said. �By not electing pro-equality candidates, North Carolina has some work to do.�
'May 8th wasn't our deadline'
Amendment One critics feared the legislation�s broad language could hurt same-sex couples, including children and domestic violence victims. They noted the legislation�s term of �domestic legal union,� which isn�t defined in state law.
Warner said NFE�s push for equality continues, despite Amendment One's outcome. NFE has added the county school system into its focus.
�We�ve been working with Cleveland County Schools on School Violence Prevention Act,� she said. �That conversation was a big deal for us.�
She�ll attend a conference with other volunteers this month to improve safety in schools for LGBTQ youth in the state.
�We�re pushing forward and it motivates us,� she said. �May 8th wasn�t our deadline.�

Readers react
The Star asked readers on its Facebook page if North Carolina should allow same-sex marriages. Here's some of the responses. To join the conversation and read more responses, find The Shelby Star on Facebook and click "like."
"Keep the government OUT of our bedroom and our wallets. How can we call ourselves the land of the free if we make laws that limit freedom?"
-Karen Endecott
"I think it should be legal, but I don't believe NC will make it legal until the federal government makes them. It will be just like the end of segregation."
-Chad Spurling
"Bible aside, it is morally wrong."
-Curtis Allen
"I hope it doesn't happen; it's a sin. I'm glad my vote counted and marriage is still defined as one man one woman. That's how it should be; that's how God made it. It will be a sad day if NC ever changes that."
- Jennifer Mellon

Wider participation in higher education is a goal shared by most of the Council of Europe's member states. An educated citizenry is a major pillar of democratic security. At the same time, it is very important that no group (minorities or other) is excluded from wider access to higher education.
The project on "Access to Higher Education in Europe" was a part of the Council of Europe's regular work programme in education and culture, within the European Cultural Convention, from 1992 till 1996. It drew on the results of the Parma Conference in October 1992 on access to higher education in Europe, organised jointly with the Commission of the European Communities. It was designed to address a major policy concern of governments, who are conscious of the critical importance of a highly educated workforce to the economic future of their countries. The project also reflected the distinctive Council of Europe emphasis on equity, the needs of individuals, and the prevention of exclusion, underlined at the Vienna Summit of Heads of State and Government of the member States in October 1993.
The project focused on the articulation between higher education and its potential entrants, students in secondary schools and adult learners.
The aim of the project was to stimulate action in favour of access to quality higher education in Europe. "Access" refers to the increase and widening of participation rates, retention rates and inter-institutional transfers in institutions of higher education, particularly for persons belonging to under-represented groups.
The outputs of the project include:

Robert Fogel, the University of Chicago economic historian awarded a Nobel Prize for his data-driven reconsiderations of how railways and slavery influenced U.S. economic history, has died. He was 86.
Fogel died Tuesday at Manor Care Health Services in Oak Lawn, Ill., after a brief illness, according to the university's Booth School of Business.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded Fogel and Douglass North of Washington University in St. Louis the 1993 Nobel Prize in economics "for having renewed research in economic history by applying economic theory and quantitative methods in order to explain economic and institutional change." Both men were pioneers in applying modern mathematics to the study of history, a field known as cliometrics, after Clio, the muse of history in Greek mythology.
Fogel first gained notice for his 1964 book, "Railroads and American Economic Growth," which challenged the widely held assumption that rail travel had fundamentally reshaped the American economy and suggested that a system of canals would have been as effective.
By studying the U.S. economy of 1890 with the rail transport that existed then, and using a hypothetical scenario without railroads, he found that they "were not absolutely necessary in explaining economic development and that their effect on the growth of GNP was less than 3%," the Nobel organization wrote. "Few books on the subject of economic history have made such an impression as Fogel's. His use of counterfactual arguments and cost-benefit analysis made him an innovator of economic historical methodology."
In 1974 Fogel caused a furor with "Time on the Cross: The Economics of American Negro Slavery," co-written with Stanley Engerman, a professor of economics at the University of Rochester.
Approaching the subject as economists, without making moral judgments, Fogel and Engerman wrote that Southern slavery was an economically rational and efficient system that, by and large, kept slaves well-fed, taught them to farm and collapsed for political rather than economic reasons.
"Our emphasis was not to deny that slavery was an oppressive system," Fogel said in 1974, "but that it was within the system for the development of black culture."
In a 1989 book, "Without Consent or Contract: The Rise and Fall of American Slavery," Fogel presented the moral case against slavery that many other critics saw as conspicuously missing from his work of 15 years earlier.
"My main point, of course, was that markets don't guarantee that evil systems will collapse, because sometimes they're very effective, and only political intervention can bring an immoral system to an end," Fogel told The Times after winning the Nobel. "That was the lesson: Morality is a higher human goal than just efficiency."
Robert William Fogel was born July 1, 1926, in New York City, four years after his parents and older brother emigrated from Odessa, Russia. He said his education in New York City public schools imbued in him a love for science, literature and history.
He earned his undergraduate degree in 1948 from Cornell University, his master's degree from Columbia University in 1960 and his doctorate from Johns Hopkins University in 1963.
At Cornell, he switched his focus from science to economics and history, inspired, he said, "by the widespread pessimism about the future of the economy during the second half of the 1940s."
As Fogel wrote in an autobiography for the Nobel Foundation: "What did we really know about the role of the factory system in economic and institutional change during the 19th century? What was the nature and the magnitude of the contribution of particular new technologies, such as railroads or steel mills, to economic growth?"
The "quantitative evidence" needed to answer such questions, he concluded, required "the most advanced analytical and statistical methods that were then taught in the economics department."
Besides teaching at the University of Chicago, Fogel held positions at the University of Rochester and Harvard University. As founding director of the University of Chicago's Center for Population Economics, he oversaw the creation of large sets of data on American life that help economists, medical researchers and other experts forecast health-care costs, the size of the labor force and the demands on pension programs.
Fogel's wife, Enid, died in 2007. His survivors include two sons, Michael and Steven.

Height and weight chart
Growth charts are used to compare your child's height, weight, and head size against children of the same age.
Growth charts can help both you and your health care provider follow your child as he or she grows. These charts may provide an early warning that your child has a medical problem.
Growth charts were developed from information gained by measuring and weighing thousands of children. From these numbers, the national average weight and height for each age and gender were established.
The lines or curves on growth charts tell how many other children in the United States weigh a certain amount at a certain age. For example, the weight on the 50th percentile line means that half of the children in the United States weigh more than that number and half of the children weigh less.
Your child's provider will measure the following during each well-child visit:
Beginning at age 2, a child's body mass index (BMI) can be calculated. Height and weight are used to figure out the BMI. A BMI measurement can estimate a child's body fat.
Each of your child's measurements is placed on the growth chart. These measurements are then compared with the standard (normal) range for children of the same gender and age. The same chart will be used as your child grows older.
Many parents worry if they learn that their child's height, weight, or head size is smaller than those of most other children the same age. They worry about whether their child will do well in school, or be able to keep up in sports.
Learning a few important facts can make it easier for parents to understand what different measurements mean:
Some changes to your child's growth chart may worry your provider more than others:
Abnormal growth on the growth charts is only a sign of a possible problem. Your provider will determine whether it is an actual medical problem, or whether your child's growth just needs to be watched carefully.

Body Guard
When a body guard is hired to protect a single individual and provides protection or security for one employer, is listed on the payroll of that employer, whose wages are paid directly by that employer, and who solely works for that employer and does not carry a baton or firearm, he/she is considered an "in-house security guard." It is not necessary for an in-house security guard to register as a security guard with BSIS, but he/she may do so.
If he/she wants to carry a firearm or baton, he/she must be licensed with the California Department of Consumer Affairs, Bureau of Security and Investigative Services as a guard and have a valid firearm or baton permit. The person must pass the "powers to arrest" examination and send in a fingerprint card to be reviewed by the California Department of Justice.
If an individual hires out body guards through his/her own business, that person must be registered as a private patrol operator.

I'm tempted to bite at that 20th Prime at Target though so I can chuck my MP on Ebay and buy replacement stacks. How did I have to end up with a ****** version that can't transform properly? Now that I see how sweet Masterpiece Megs looks...I'm tempted, but I'm bound to get a broken leg version.

A new day
sometimes its worrying having a out of control mind. Sometimes I even feel blessed to have schizophrenia with some of the unique things I can experience. But there are those times I stay curled under my covers praying to just make my mind stop.
Each night I have a routine, I turn off my light and quickly hide under the covers and pray I don't wake up in the night, pray nothing scares me and pray to be kept safe.
Waking in the night has become one of the worst experiences to endure. An illness that strips you bare of all defensive barriers, intrusive thoughts and noises echo through your body and you have no way to control them.
Waking defenseless in the dark to a demon staring back at you through the shadows, nostrils flaring on your neck even feeling the dampness of its breath making your skin prickle and toes curl.
But as chilling as those experiences can be sometimes the more simple ones are the ones that put you into panic.
Standing at work today the earth went quiet. I'm in a room of people , chatting talking laughing moving and not a sound. It felt as though all of a sudden the floor had been taken from below my feet and I was at the point of weightlessness just before I plummeted into the great vasts below.
My mind racing trying to pull out every single answer it can find of what solution is needed in a situation like this but its running short of answers until you come back into perspective of the world and a flooding of sound and sensations hit you. What lasted seconds felt as though it lasted a life time.
It was the movement that got to me, not the no noise coming from moving lips watching this ocean of people moving and not a sound, the shuffling of feet and scraping of furniture against tiles sounds always there that you don't notice until they've disappeared and you go into panic mode.
Waking to images that wont leave my head no matter how i try of people split in half by oncoming trains, skulls mashed open, guts sprawled great detail burning into my mind.
But yesterday it rained, I got a tattoo and for the moment water falling from the sky scraping against the ground and my window I felt as if it was a day anew. So all is well for now.

Why BlackBerry Needs a Sale Sooner, Not Later
There are 4,500 soon-to-be-unemployed BlackBerry staffers who know better than anyone the pain the Canadian mobile maker is going through. For the approximately 7,000 who will still be working there, the big question is how much longer the company can sustain itself.
There are different ways to look at that question, but here's one particularly urgent factor: How much cash does it have left to burn through before simply running out of money to pay the bills?
The answer is about 16 months worth, if the way it lost money in the last three months continues. When it reported results for the quarter ending on June 1, the company said it had $3.1 billion in cash and investments. By the end of August, according to the announcement today, that had been whittled down to $2.6 billion.
That implies the company is burning through half a billion dollars of cash every three months. If it keeps going at that pace, it has until sometime around November 2014 until the $2.6 billion it has left runs out completely.
More on this after the jump…

By Brian Tuohy
His real name was George Jr., yet no one ever seemed to call him that. At the St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys, he was derisively nicknamed "Nig," short for "N----- Lips." Upon escaping into professional baseball at the age of 19, he was mocked with the label "Baby." Shortly thereafter, Boston Red Sox teammates "Smokey" Joe Wood and Hall of Famer Tris Speaker dubbed him "The Big Baboon." Sportswriters would later knight him as "The Sultan of Swat," "The Colossus of Clout," and "The Maharajah of Mash." But to his fans, he was simply known as "The Babe."
Babe Ruth redefined baseball during his 22-year career, and July 11 marks the 100th anniversary of his MLB debut. His bat was the death knell of the game's "Dead Ball" era and revitalized public interest in a sport suffering in the wake of the 1919 "Black Sox" gambling scandal. Though many of his records have been broken, his all-time career marks are still impressive: 1st in slugging percentage (.690), 1st in OPS (1.164), 2nd in OBP (.474), 2nd in RBIs (2,213), 3rd in home runs (714 -- though he actually hit 715 as an early walk-off HR was recorded as a triple due to the scoring rules at the time), 3rd in walks (2,062), 4th in runs scored (2,174), and 8th in batting average (.342 -- he once claimed he could've batted .600 if he just tried to hit singles). Not bad for a guy who cracked the big leagues as a pitcher.
A teenage Ruth starred on the St. Mary's baseball team, playing every position at some point. As legend has it -- and many stories involving Ruth deserve the "legend" tag, as several details of his youth have been lost to history -- Jack Morgan, a catcher from the nearby St. Joseph's College, saw Ruth play and informed his coach, Brother Gilbert Cairns, that Ruth was worthy of scouting. When Jack Dunn, the 42-year-old owner of the International League's Baltimore Orioles, came sniffing around a highly touted pitcher on St. Joseph's, Brother Cairns deflected Dunn away from his squad by suggesting Ruth instead. The word of mouth was good enough that Dunn signed Ruth on Valentine's Day, 1914, to a $250-a-month contract allegedly without ever seeing him pitch or play.
On his own for the first time at the age of 19, Ruth joined the Orioles at spring training in Fayetteville, N.C. Most of the players were older and more established than Ruth, and they took to calling him "one of Dunn's babies." A pair of writers from the Baltimore Sun, Rodger Pippen and Jesse Linthicum, picked up on the taunt and first wrote of him as "Babe" Ruth. Despite the ribbing, Ruth quickly proved himself to be a young phenom. On the mound, Ruth beat the eventual American League champion Philadelphia Athletics in an exhibition game, 6-2. As a hitter, he could be fooled and made to look foolish swinging out of his shoes, but when he connected -- forget it. He hit the longest home run in Fayetteville history, besting a mark set by none other than Jim Thorpe. The feat made for Ruth's first headline.
On July 4, 1914, the Orioles were in first place in the International League with a 47-22 record. Ruth was 14-6. Yet despite the on-the-field success, only about 5,000 total fans had shown up throughout the course of the season to see the O's play at home. Attendance was so bad, Ruth once tossed a complete game shutout versus Rochester in front of 11 paying customers. The problem for Dunn's Orioles stemmed from the rival Federal League team, the Baltimore Terrapins, which played directly across the street. Many Baltimore baseball fans, starved for a major league team since 1903, believed the Federal League would soon be a third professional league (along with the separate-at-the-time National and American Leagues). Because of this, thousands of fans flocked to see the Terrapins each day, leaving Dunn's stadium empty.
Faced with bankruptcy, Dunn was forced to sell off his players. He offered Ruth to Athletics' owner/manager Connie Mack, who had previously seen Ruth beat his team in spring training. When Mack came to see him pitch again, Ruth was roughed up and pulled by the fourth inning. Undeterred, Dunn started Ruth in the second game of the doubleheader and he responded with a shutout victory. But Mack was in financial straits as well (in fact, Mack would sell off most of his pennant-winning team after the 1914 season). He passed. The Cincinnati Reds made an offer for Ruth, as did John McGraw of the New York Giants, but Dunn wound up dealing with Red Sox owner Joe Lannin, thanks in part to a $3,000 "loan" Lannin provided so Dunn could meet his payroll. Lannin bought Ruth, catcher Ben Egan and another young pitcher named Ernie Shore for $25,000. The Red Sox raised Ruth's salary to $625 a month.
On July 10, Ruth and the other two players took an overnight train to Boston. They arrived at Back Bay Station at 10 a.m. Met there by a Red Sox representative, Ruth was informed he was to start that afternoon. Five hours later, Ruth made his American League debut against the Cleveland Naps in Fenway Park.
The 6-foot-2 lefty took the hill to face a Naps team featuring "Shoeless" Joe Jackson hitting third and future Hall of Famer Nap Lajoie batting fourth. In the first inning, the rookie "displayed why he is a veteran in many ways," as the Boston Globe's T.H. Murnane wrote of Ruth's performance. Ruth gave up a hit to leadoff hitter Jack Graney, who advanced to second on a ground out. Shoeless Joe then singled to center. On the play, Red Sox center fielder Tris Speaker threw home, forcing Graney to momentarily hold at third. Ruth cut off Speaker's throw and threw to second. As Shoeless Joe retreated back to first, Graney took off for home, but was nailed at the plate. Ruth then ended the inning by picking off Shoeless Joe from first base.
Ruth would give up a run on three hits while striking out one over the next five innings before a two-run, three-hit seventh inning proved his demise. Remarkably, Ruth finished the inning on the mound, but was pulled for pinch-hitter Duffy Lewis in the bottom of the inning (Ruth struck out and flew out in his first two at-bats). Lewis would reach base on a hit, advance on an error and score the game-winning run on a Tris Speaker single.
Credited for the 4-3 victory, Ruth's first big league win didn't set off many alarm bells. The Boston Globe's headline for the game read, "Babe Ruth leads Red Sox to win in Boston debut." Murnane would write of Ruth, "He has natural delivery, great command and a curve ball that is tough for opposing hitters. However," he would add, "there's still room for improvement for him but he will undoubtedly progress with the help of Manager Bill Carrigan." The New York Times took little note of the performance. Writing under the headline "Ruth Batted Out by the Naps," the newspaper simply stated of the game, "Ruth, formerly of Baltimore, made his debut as a local pitcher and held Cleveland to five scattered hits in the first six innings." There was no hint of the New York legend yet to come.
In fact, despite the win, Ruth made little impression on his new club. Ernie Shore, the other pitcher bought from the Orioles in the Ruth deal, pitched a two-hitter the following day, winning 2-1. With an already crowded rotation, Ruth saw little playing time while Shore would get another 15 starts, going 10-5 for the season. At the end of July, Lannin bought the Providence Grays of the International League for $75,000, and two weeks later, sent Ruth there to get more work. Ruth shined with the Grays, posting a 9-3 record on the mound and hitting .300, including his first professional home run, hit in Toronto. With the Red Sox 8.5 games behind the Athletics, Ruth was recalled from Providence to finish off the last week of the 1914 season, going 1-1. His first season in the majors may have just been a cup of coffee, but shades of legendary Babe Ruth were visible.
Why does Ruth continue to matter today? Why do so many know his name 100 years after he played in his first MLB game? It's because in many ways, Ruth had all the trappings of a modern professional athlete. His on-the-field exploits were as wild as his reputation off of it. Rumors surrounding young stars like Bryce Harper and Yasiel Puig are plentiful, yet Ruth did it all first. As a member of the Red Sox between 1915-1919, he posted a 89-46 record with a sub-3.00 ERA, won 3 World Series championships, and he set a MLB season record by hitting 29 home runs in 1919. At the same time, he broke his toe by kicking the bench in frustration after being intentionally walked, punched home plate umpire Brick Owens in the head after arguing balls and strikes which resulted in a $100 fine and a 10-game suspension, quit the team for a few days in 1918 after arguing over playing time with manager Ed Barrow, and held out for double his existing salary at the beginning of the 1919 season while threatening to become a professional boxer.
Though today Red Sox owner Harry Frazee appears the fool for selling Ruth to the New York Yankees for $125,000 in 1920 -- thus creating the "Curse of the Bambino" which the Red Sox wouldn't break until winning the World Series in 2004 -- the fact is that many thought Frazee got the better end of the deal at the time. Ruth was drinking heavily, constantly crashing his car, and despite being married, regularly visiting prostitutes. He was a managerial headache and his record-setting 29 home runs in 1919 hadn't prevented the franchise from finishing sixth in the AL, 20.5 games out of first. Some felt Ruth might flame out of baseball within a year or two given his lifestyle, despite being just 25 years old.
Once in New York, Ruth's bat, coupled with his personality, forever changed the course of baseball. He socked 54 home runs in 1920 (more than 14 of the 15 teams in baseball would hit that season) and followed that feat with 59 more in 1921. Starting that same year, Ruth led the Yankees to three consecutive World Series, bringing the franchise their first-ever championship in 1923.
Meanwhile, Ruth's rock star lifestyle was still incredibly problematic. He charged into the stands to fight a heckler in spring training in 1920; was suspended by commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis in 1922 for leading a barnstorming team in the offseason; was confronted with a public intervention led by New York mayor James J. Walker at an Elks Club dinner due to his drinking (during Prohibition, mind you); had a paternity suit was filed against him by a 19-year old waitress named Dolores Dixon; was caught with a corked bat in 1923; threw dirt in umpire George Hildebrand's face after which he stood on the dugout's roof egging on a heckler to fight him in 1925; and was known to partake in orgies which may have led to a sexually transmitted disease, costing him a good portion of the 1925 season.
Regardless of his antics -- much of which were outright covered up by the compliant press, including the rumored STD which was passed off as a "bellyache" brought on by "too many hot dogs and sodas" -- Ruth became one of the most famous celebrities in America. People of all ages embraced him. Children emulated him. His persona was marketed and sold better than any athlete playing today, including starring roles in motion pictures. The New York newspapers couldn't get enough of Ruth, with the Daily News going so far as to hire Marshall Hunt to write about Ruth 365 days a year. (Hunt would quickly become a feature player in Ruth's off-the-field exploits, carousing with the Babe, introducing willing women to him, and even forging his signature on baseballs.)
After his much-maligned 1925 season, in which he played in only 98 games, Ruth recommitted himself to baseball. At the age of 31, he cut back on his hard-partying ways, got into shape by shedding some 40 pounds, and put on a remarkable display of hitting over the course of the following seven seasons. From 1926 through 1932, Ruth averaged 49 home runs, 153 RBIs and 143 runs scored all while batting .353. He played in four World Series during that time, winning three championships with the Yankees while adding to his personal legend with his famed "Called Shot" in the 1932 World Series against the Chicago Cubs.
Like many other athletes, Ruth couldn't let go of the game that made him what he was. 1933 was still a very good season, though somewhat under his usual standards, and 1934 saw a downturn in his numbers as age caught up with him. Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert cut a backdoor deal with Boston Braves owner Emil Fuchs, and shipped Ruth back to the city that first welcomed him into the bigs. He only managed to play in 28 games as a Brave in 1935 before calling it quits. Eleven years later, he was diagnosed with cancer. The disease took his life at the age of 53.
All hyperbole (and personal foibles) aside, Ruth is a true legend of the game. The baseball we watch and enjoy today owes a deep debt of gratitude to him. His name still rings out a century after he first set foot on a professional baseball field, and will continue to echo as long as the game is played. Herculean events became Ruthian in nature, and rising stars in a variety of endeavors became known as "the Babe Ruth of…," all because of a man named George Jr.

The Orioles have scouted Shohei Otani, the Japanese high-school right-hander who was drafted by the Nippon-Ham Fighters of Japan's professional baseball league this week. Otani made it known he'd like to play in the United States, and teams here could still attempt to sign him.
No word on exactly what the Orioles thought of him, but apparently he has a pretty impressive arsenal.
The problem is it's protocol to avoid players who have allegiances with Japanese teams. So although the Orioles wouldn't be doing anything wrong if they pursued Otani, it would be frowned upon in Japanese baseball circles. And with the Orioles ruffling feathers in Korea last year when they signed a high-schooler, you'd think they'd probably prefer not to go that route again.
That said, one scout told me Otani hit 99 mph with his fastball and also has a plus curve. If he were graduating from an American high school this year, the 18-year-old would likely be a Top 5 pick in the June draft, the scout said.
It will be interesting to see if any MLB team bucks protocol – and surpasses the new international bonus pool – to take a chance on Otani now. Other teams reportedly interested include the Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers and Texas Rangers.
Fellow Japanese high-school right-hander Shintaro Fujinami, who is also highly coveted, was drafted and is expected to play in Japan, according to Baseball America.
Showalter set to host 5K
Orioles manager Buck Showalter and his wife, Angela, are hosting their annual KidsPeace Trick-or-Trot 5K on Saturday. Showalter -- Mr. that is -- will not be running. He's hobbling and rehabbing right now after partial knee replacement last week.
Showalter said the knee pain didn't stop him from running out to the field to argue calls. Going back to the dugout when the adrenaline wore off wasn't real comfortable, though.
Hale still a candidate?
Showalter's coaching staff appears set – for now. With some managerial jobs still open, the Orioles aren't writing it in ink just yet.
Third-base coach DeMarlo Hale, for instance, could still be in play – perhaps in Toronto – after interviewing for the Red Sox job that ultimately went to the Blue Jays' John Farrell.
And based on the job Ron Johnson did at Triple-A Norfolk this year, some in the organization wouldn't be shocked if another team inquires about bringing the long-time baseball man back to the majors as a coach.
There also was some talk that maybe bullpen coach Bill Castro could be utilized in more of an international role for the Orioles' organization, but the sense is he will be staying in the same position for 2013.
Arbitration talk
The Orioles now officially have 14 players eligible for arbitration. As expected, pitchers Brian Matusz and Troy Patton secured Super 2 status, meaning they will get four years of arbitration instead of the normal three due to their service time.
The Orioles will have 15 arbitration eligible players if they decline the $11 million option on Mark Reynolds contract; he would be in his final year of arbitration this winter.
Some of those 15 could be non-tendered, however.

Gracia Harrison and 2 Steel Girls Battle With Dixie Chicks' 'Sin Wagon' on 'The Voice'
It was inevitable that on tonight's (Oct. 8) first battle round of Season 3 of 'The Voice,' country coach Blake Shelton would pit two country acts against one another. He did just that with singer Gracia Harrison and the Ohio-based mother-daughter duet 2 Steel Girls, who of course remind us of the Judds.
It just had to happen for all to be right with the universe, especially since this type of battle is in Shelton's wheelhouse. For their epic face off (or is that voice off?) Shelton had the ladies offer up their rendition of the Dixie Chicks' song 'Sin Wagon.' Who prevailed and why?
First things first. It's a song with both fast and furious pacing, so it certainly made for entertaining vocalizing during both the mentoring and practice phases and the actual battle on the show. Shelton coached the ladies with grasping the melody, namely the small town Illinois girl Harrison, who struggled with preventing her notes from going flat.
When the live round finally began, the ladies were rarin' to go. It was an upbeat, loud and proud country throwdown between three ladies of incredible talent. However, Shelton was faced with a tough choice on who to upstream to the next round, since their work as a three piece was something else.
Due to her confidence and the playful nature with which she performed, Gracia Harrison got the bump up from Shelton.
2 Steel Girls were, ahem, gracious in defeat, complimenting Shelton on all that he taught them and on his ability to sing any and everything.
And it's a good thing that Shelton kept Harrison, since his bro Adam Levine was ready to pounce and steal her had she become available.

Breast Cancer: Your Chances for Recovery (Prognosis)
Breast Cancer: Your Chances for Recovery (Prognosis)
What is a prognosis?
Prognosis is the word your healthcare team may use to describe your chances of recovering from cancer. Or it may mean your likely outcome from cancer and cancer treatment. A prognosis is a calculated guess. It's a question many people have when they learn they have cancer.
Making a choice
The decision to ask about your prognosis is a personal one. It's up to you to decide how much you want to know. Some people find it easier to cope and plan ahead when they know their prognosis and the statistics for how well a treatment might work. Other people find statistics confusing and frightening. Or they might think statistics are too general to be useful.
A doctor who is most familiar with your health is in the best position to discuss your prognosis with you and explain what the statistics may mean in your case. At the same time, you should keep in mind that your prognosis can change. Cancer and cancer treatment outcomes are hard to predict. For instance, a favorable prognosis (which means you're likely going to do well) can change if the cancer spreads to key organs or doesn't respond to treatment. An unfavorable prognosis can change, too. This can happen if treatment shrinks and controls the cancer so it doesn't grow or spread.
What goes into a prognosis
When figuring out your prognosis, your doctor will consider all the things that could affect the cancer and its treatment. Your doctor will look at risk estimates about the exact type and stage of the cancer you have. These estimates are based on what results researchers have seen over many years in thousands of people with the same type and stage of cancer.
If your cancer is likely to respond well to treatment, your doctor will say you have a favorable prognosis. This means you're expected to live many years and may even be cured. If your cancer is likely to be hard to control, your prognosis may be less favorable. The cancer may shorten your life. It's important to keep in mind that a prognosis states what's likely or probable. It is not a prediction of what will definitely happen. No doctor can be fully certain about an outcome.
Your prognosis depends on a number of factors:
Type and location of the cancer
If and how far the cancer has spread (stage)
Your age and overall health
How well your cancer responds to treatment
Understanding survival rates
Survival rates show how many people live for a certain length of time after being told they have cancer. The rates are grouped for people with certain types and stages of cancer. Many times, the numbers used refer to the 5-year or the 10-year survival rate. That's how many people are living 5 years or 10 years after diagnosis. The survival rate includes people at these different stages:
People who are cancer-free or cured
People who have few or no signs or symptoms of cancer
People who are getting cancer treatment
What are the survival rates for breast cancer?
The relative survival rate (such as the numbers used here) compares the percentage of people who live at least 5 years after being diagnosed (called observed survival) with what's expected for people who don't have cancer. This helps to correct for the deaths caused by other things besides cancer, and is a more accurate way to describe survival.
The 5-year relative survival rates are:
100% for stage 0 (DCIS) and stage I breast cancer. Stage 0 breast cancer is small and only in the duct where it started. Stage I breast cancer means the tumor is small and only in your breast. Or Stage I means there is only a very small number of cancer cells in your armpit lymph nodes.
93% for stage II breast cancer. Stage II means the tumor is small, but cells have spread to your lymph nodes. Or the tumor is a little larger but there are no cells in the lymph nodes.
72% for stage III breast cancer. Stage III means the tumor is any size and has spread to lymph nodes, the chest wall, or to the skin over the breast, but not to distant areas in the body.
22% for stage IV breast cancer. Stage IV means the cancer has spread to other organs.
Talking with your healthcare provider
You can ask your healthcare provider about survival rates and what you might expect. But remember that statistics are based on large groups of people. They can't be used to say what will happen to you. No two people are exactly alike. Treatment and how well people respond to treatment vary.

The University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law has been making some changes to the school's curriculum that better reflect, and help prepare students for, the changing nature of the legal profession.
One such change is a new pro bono requirement that will affect students this fall. Students entering the law school at that time will be among the first class that will have to perform a certain amount of pro bono legal work to graduate.
Students entering this fall and thereafter will be required to complete 40 hours of supervised pro bono work.
Ryan Jones, director of communications and special events for the law school, said that while the school's students have been engaging in a significant amount of valuable pro bono work over the years, the performance of that work is now formalized as part of their overall law education.
The school has even hired a public interest counselor, Callie Caldwell, who oversees all of the school's pro bono programs and related duties.
"It's becoming more of a trend in the law school arena to put more emphasis on this area, and Memphis is at the forefront of the trend," Jones said.
Additionally, starting with the class that enters in the fall, students will have more flexibility in classes they take earlier in their education.
In the fall of 2009, the law school's curriculum committee was tasked with reviewing the curriculum and recommending changes, if necessary, according to David Romantz, associate dean for academic affairs.
Romantz said the curriculum had not been given a comprehensive review in years and that for many years, most law schools were geared toward a traditional litigation model.
"But certainly in modern practice, there's a lot more transactional work, and even within litigation there's a lot more alternative to litigation such as negotiation and mediation," Romantz said. "And so this new curriculum sort of reflects modern practice much more so than our old curriculum did."
The move toward pro bono work comes at a time when low income and needy consumers are seeing their access to legal services cut off from some channels. Memphis Area Legal Services Inc., for example, serves that population but is in the midst of a capital campaign to keep its services uninterrupted.
"The reason we decided to do (the pro bono requirement) is because, first, you're seeing in the legal profession there's so many people out there that need legal services," Caldwell said. "There's such a great demand, and funding is cut everywhere. Ethically, as lawyers, we have this obligation to provide legal service.
"What we want to do here is create this attitude and this standard of our law students that this is not only an ethical obligation, but it's a unique and rewarding one. That was really the motivation that drove our school to start a formal program."
Caldwell added that law students will not start tracking their hours until their second semester.

Big Bear's First Ever JazzTrax Festival Scheduled for Saturday, June 18
Smooth jazz will echo from mountain top's of Big Bear Valley at the inaugural JazzTrax Summer Festival on June 18, 2005. This is the first time ever that an event is held at Snow Summit Mountain Resort's (Snow Summit) natural mountain amphitheater. JazzTrax will offer an afternoon of world class jazz at a world class resort. Part of the audience experience is the Scenic Sky Chair ride from the base to the top of the mountain, high over the forest.
Headlining the day is a special tribute to the great Luther Vandross titled "Forever for Always Luther" starring Lalah Hathaway, Kirk Whalum, Brian Culbertson and Paul Jackson, Jr. This all-star tribute group's CD was nominated for a Grammy in 2004.
The festival opens at 12 noon with a performance by guitarist Steve Oliver, plus a second supporting act, saxophonist Steve Cole. JazzTrax fans are encouraged to arrive by 11 a.m. to allow ample time for the ride to the top of the mountain.
"For many years I have wanted to create a festival in Big Bear and finally it has become a reality," said Art Good, JazzTrax summer festival's creator and producer. "I know this will be a great escape with great music for all who attend."
The natural amphitheater will be divided into three sections. The club section is the first seventeen rows of assigned seating in front of stage; the second section is picnic table seating; and the upper section lawn area is general admission seating. Ticket prices are: club seating $65, table seating $55 and general admission $35. Tickets are available online at www.tix.com or 800.4.BIG.BEAR (800.424.4232).
"Big Bear music festivals go beyond great music," said Big Bear Valley Events Coordinator Bonnie Tregaskis. "The natural surroundings tend to touch down on all five senses, especially sight."
The View Haus, Big Bear's most scenic eatery located at the top of Snow Summit, is the icing on the cake. Mouthwatering barbeque chow, plus beer, wine, and soft drinks will satisfy taste buds from 12 noon to 5 p.m.
Club ticket holders have a bonus, the after party at the View Haus Top of Mountain Lodge with a special performance by guitarist Luis Villegas. The after hour party is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. and is included in the club
Once the music ends at Snow Summit, Big Bear Village revs up for the night's sessions of live jazz. Nottingham's Restaurant and Tavern located at 40797 Lakeview Drive, (at Bartlett Road) presents saxophonist Mark Lessman at 8 p.m. Also, Nottingham's will have a pre-festival party on Friday, June 17 at 8 p.m. Lessman performs then, too. The Catz in the Hatz, another Big Bear favorite, play at Mandoline Bistro located at 40701 Village Drive. The band performs classic jazz standards starting at 8 p.m.
Knickerbocker Mansion is offering a special Sunday brunch for JazzTrax festival goers. The innkeepers of this historic and elegant bed & breakfast have put together a tasty menu for this special event. Reservations are required for the Sunday brunch by calling 909.878.9190.
Scenic Sky Chair Gives Summer Recreation a Lift
Now that the snow is gone, it's time for some summer fun at Snow Summit Mountain Resort (Snow Summit). On Saturday, May 21, 2005, Snow Summit converts its East Mountain Express chairlift into the Scenic Sky Chair.
"A ride up or down on the Scenic Sky Chair offers breathtaking views of brim-full Big Bear Lake and the surrounding San Bernardino National Forest," said Big Bear Mountain Resorts Marketing Director Chris Riddle. "The Sky Chair is especially popular for cross-country mountain biking and hiking, providing access to some amazing world class trails."
During the summer, chairlift speed is reduced to allow plenty of time to take in the natural beauty of Big Bear Valley and the surrounding San Bernardino National Forest. The Sky Chair ride takes about 15 minutes to transport cross-country mountain bikers, hikers and sightseers from the base elevation of 7,000 feet to the summit elevation at 8,200 feet. At the top of the mountain, guests find the View Haus, home to Big Bear's most scenic eatery to enjoy a full lunch, a snack or a cold beverage while taking in the spectacular views of San Gorgonio, Southern California's highest mountain peak. Sightseers complete the adventure with the relaxing ride down to the base area. For the hikers and cross-country cyclists, the descent is extraordinary: wildflowers, spectacular views and, according to their preferences, challenging or easy trails.
The Scenic Sky Chair helps mountain bikers and hikers because it does most of the uphill climbing. Also, it leads them to Skyline Ridge (2N10), one of the most scenic trails in Big Bear Valley. The two favorite loops on the 2N10 ridge are Grand View Loop and Plantation Trail, both rated intermediate. Grand View's riding time is approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours, and Plantation Trail is 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
Snow Summit no longer transports downhill-specific mountain bikes on the Scenic Sky Chair during the summer months for either recreational or competitive purposes. The resort continues to haul conventional (cross-country) mountain bikes for the general public on the Sky Chair with access to off-site Forest Service trails and roads. Bikes must be less than 35 lbs., the tire size designation must be less than 2.5 lbs., front shocks must have less then 6 inches of travel and bikes must have three chain rings unless they are single speed.
Snow Summit will continue to host a number of cross-country mountain bike races and events throughout the summer, including the Snow Summit Amateur Cup Series, Women's Only Weekend, and 12-Hours at the Summit. For more information about mountain biking events, visit www.teambigbear.com or call 909-866-4565. The Scenic Sky Chair remains open until the winter season begins. The Sky Chair is open weekends only until June 18, 2005 after which it is open daily. After Labor Day, September 5, 2005, the Sky Chair returns to a "weekends only" status.
Scenic Sky Chair ticket prices for a one-way trip with bike are $10 adults (Ages 13 & up) and $5 children (ages 7-12); A one-way trip without bike are $7 adults and $4 Children. Roundtrips without bike tickets are $10 adults and $5 children.
X Marks the Spot at Big Arrrr Lake
Big Bear's Inaugural Pirate Faire Scheduled for June 3 & 4, 2006
There is a buried treasure in Big Bear Lake, and the public is invited to try to find it Saturday, June 3 and Sunday, June 4 at the inaugural Big Bear Pirate Faire. Captain John's Harbor in Fawnskin will transform into a 17th Century buccaneer village with vittles hot off the grill, grog ale, pirate swag , four stages of lively entertainment, a ship-to-shore live action battle and a reenactment of the famous Mary Read and Ann Bonny trial. General Admission to the faire is $15 adults, $12 children 6-12, $12 seniors and military with ID.
Our pirate Faire is better than Disneyland, and a lot less expensive,' said Lynda McGinnis, CEO of The Big Bear Valley Renaissance Society. 'Folks can actually interact with our pirates, sail on a real pirate ship, eat authentic pirate vittles and shop with the pirates and their doxies.'
One of the main highlights of the faire is the treasure hunt. Festival goers have the opportunity to sail Big Bear Lake on the Big Bear Pirate Ship in search of a buried treasure. Participants will have to band together to read maps and tell the captain where to sail and land to find the treasure spot. Once on land, the ravage band of sailors will have to survey the area to find the hidden treasure. The group will be supplied with shovels to dig up the booty. Inside the treasure chest is valuable prizes donated by local Big Bear merchants. The treasure hunt, a separate fee from the faire, is $25 and includes the found booty. There is a treasure hunt at 4 p.m. each day and is limited to 25 passengers.
Guests who don't want to go on a treasure hunt, but want to sail Big Bear Lake on the Big Bear Pirate Ship may purchase tickets for $10. Sailing departures leave from Captain John's Harbor each day at 10:30 a.m., 12 noon and 1:15 p.m. Space is limited to 25 passengers per sail. Time and space is subject to change.
Pirates live for battle, and that's just what Big Bear Pirate Faire will have. Each day at approximately 1 p.m. a ship-to-shore live action battle will take place with pirates shooting cannons at each other. Another key attraction is the reenactment of the Mary Read and Ann Bonny trial. The trial is well known because they were the only female pirates to be captured and tried. The court reenactment will be performed twice each day by two different performance groups. The style of performance will be tongue and cheek to keep the audience humored.
The faire will have ongoing entertainment on four stages. Entertainment includes, belly dancing, jugglers, children's entertainment, comedy routines and more. One stage is dedicated as the NC-17 stage, which has naughty content and bawdy songs of a pirate's life. Children under 17 should not attend the NC-17 stage performances.
There is a designated children's area with crafts and entertainment. The little ones will even have their own treasure hunt with lots of prizes.
Games for all ages are plentiful at the Big Bear Pirate Faire including Splatter the platter, darts and chuck a chicken (rubber chicken) with a sling shot. Vendors will hawk clothing, jewelry, trinkets, glass ware, weapons, books, treasure maps, and fairy dust, all in the appropriate time period of 1665 to 1775. Food vendors will serve vittles including, bangers, turkey legs, and fish. Grog ale and soda will be on tap.
The new Pirates of Caribbean movie is coming out this summer,' added McGinnis. 'Consider The Big Bear Pirate Faire a sneak preview to this summer's pirate craze.
Big Bear Pirate Faire is Saturday, June 3 and Sunday, June 4 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. Admission is $15 adults, $12 children 6-12, $12 seniors and military with ID. Adult weekend passes are $26 and children/senior/military weekend passes are $20. Children 5 and under are FREE. Parking and shuttle service is free. Advance tickets can be purchased at 1-800-4-BIG BEAR (800-424-4232). Big Bear Pirate Ship sailings and treasure hunts are sold separately.

Hello, bentoers! I haven't been active on this site for... about a year. (Don't worry, I /have/ been bentoing XP)
I did post a thread a while ago with this topic
( http://justbento.com/forum/recipe-sprucing )... That was when I was going into 7th grade. Well, now I'm preparing to go to high school! (Yaaaay... *coughdeadpan*)
Now the parents are pulling the "Let's be frugal about EVERYTHING" Which is great... except for bentoing. The mom's vision of any sort of Asian food, that doesn't come out of a take out place will never be taken out of the fridge and cooked. (There was this one time... umeboshi that Weren't umeboshi... I dunno... LOOONG story...) So at any mention on bok choy and tofu, alarms go off.
That's not really what I'm trying to say... ANYWAY! My schedule is jumbled around this year. My bus picks me up at 6:45 and I have to walk. so I'll be out of the house by 6:30. (Which-just saying- is time I wake up now. T^T) Once again, I am asking you: Please, give me some recipes for any kind of or protein that are
a) Quick (Night before is also great too.)
b) Don't involve frying.
c) Don't involve lots of Asian ingredients. (We do have 'the basics' ... just nothing extensive...)
I still love my tamagoyaki, and omlet-type things! They are in most every of my bentos!! <3
Thank you sooooooo much! I really appreciate it!!
Foodies do it better.
Welcome back biganimefan
Sorry that circumstances at home are making bentoing feel tricky at the moment - I don't know how I'd manage without our supplies of japonica grain rice.
The only meat I eat is fish and I'm not at all shy of using a frying pan so I'm not exactly brimming with low fat protein ideas, but there is one thing I've been making lately that might be of interest to you.
My own 21 month old daughter loves rice, vegetables and protein but isn't always so keen on baked wheat foods (sometimes she'll eat it sometimes she won't, doesn't matter if it's sweet or savoury)
Rather than give her protein inside bread (she'll pick it out or lick it off) I found I could give her bread inside protein.
1 x 7oz can (200g) of tuna
1/4 cup (2 to 3 tablespoons) of grated hard cheese - like pecorino or parmaggiano
1 x egg
plastic wrap/saran wrap/cling film or suitably sized muslin cloth
Now, in order to get as many breadcrumbs as possible into this recipe I use quite a bit of the oil from an olive oil packed tin of tuna (or if packed in brine I completely drain the liquid and add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil) but you wouldn't need to. Anyway its simple to do:
In a bowl add the can of tuna - drain most of the oil if packed in oil, or fully drain if packed in brine and then add at least a teaspoon of oil.
Add the grated cheese and beat in an egg. Ensure the ingredients are well mixed and the tuna is flaked and broken up as much as possible.
Start stirring in the breadcrumbs a tablespoon at a time but stop before the mixture becomes too dry. Depending on how little or how much oil you have you'll probably need between 2 and 5 heaped tablespoons.
Prepare 3 or 4 rectangles of plastic wrap and separate the mixture in your bowl into 3 or 4 portions.
Place each portion near an edge of the plastic wrap and roll into sausages. Twist or fold the ends so that the mixture is secure.
You can steam these fish paste tubes for 30 minutes, or if that's too daunting just put them in lightly simmering water for the same amount of time. Fish them out once they've cooked for half an hour, let them cool and you can put them in the fridge. They'll last for at least three days, particularly if you don't open them.
Once unwrapped the cooked and cooled fish tubes slice up very neatly.
The recipe above is the basic one. Feel free to add seasonings like pepper or other herbs and flavourings such as finely diced shallots or chives to your own taste.
There are no Japanese ingredients in here (not unless you make it with panko) but it connects well with the Japanese tradition of fish paste and fish sausage products.
Wow, thanks for the recipe! I'll definitely have to try that, we ALWAYS have tuna around the house. ^^
There's a similar Thai thing that's really yummy - it's a fish curry custard, but you don't NEED to make it curry-ish. You get a tin of tuna (could be flavoured tuna, or plain) and mix it with egg then steam it in little silicon muffin cups. The proper way to do it is to use plain tuna and add curry paste, fish sauce, lime juice, spring onions etc etc, but if you used the tuna that comes in flavoured sauce you wouldn't need anything other than egg in it.

ADDISON COUNTY — As Vermont's dairy farmers lose money on every gallon of milk they produce, dairymen these days are wondering if they'll survive the latest downturn in the volatile milk market. The crash in the price farmers get for their milk has forced 24 Vermont farms out of business since December, according to the Agency of Agriculture.
But even if they make it through this current crisis — which, with its $10 and $11 per hundredweight (cwt) milk prices is admittedly the worst farmers have seen in years — the long-term outlook for the industry is murky.
MONTPELIER — Addison County and Brandon's two state senators voted with the majority of their colleagues on Monday in endorsing a same-sex marriage bill that has now moved to the House Judiciary Committee.
By JOHN FLOWERS
VERGENNES — Local lawmakers are seeking a meeting with Gov. James Douglas and top legislative leaders to protest recent cuts in state services to Addison County, services they argue will end up costing Vermonters more than they save in the long run.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Middlebury College men's lacrosse team picked up three recent wins, none bigger than Tuesday's comeback, 12-10 victory over previously undefeated host Washington & Lee, which entered the game ranked No. 6 among NCAA Division III squads.
By Andy Kirkaldy
To the great amusement of my family and me, I was recently dubbed a "know-it-all" elsewhere in print.
So why argue?
In fact, to prove the truth of that label, I will reveal what I learned by pulling aside the veils that hide the future from most. (But remember, gambling is illegal, and all wagers are made at the bettor's risk.)
