"This new facility has been designed to allow for easier renovations and new configurations to foster more scientific collaboration amongst NCI staff."
NCI Shady Grove features two eight-story towers connected by a shared entry atrium with a green roof.
The three lower levels provide contiguous 86,000-square-foot floor plates. These areas house shared functions including a cafeteria, meeting rooms, a 500-seat auditorium, a conference center, a full-service fitness center, a data center and outdoor seating areas.
The third through eighth floors in the two separate, but identical, towers have a 34,250-square-foot floor plate. The deep wall-to-core span provides flexibility for office layout.
Because NCI's researchers prefer private offices, more than half of the workplaces are enclosed. To bring daylight into the center of the space, the design pulls many offices away from the exterior wall and arranges them in neighborhoods.
The lobby's walls are lined by more than 2,000 square feet of LED backlit wood veneer panels that emit a soft, golden-brown glow. As people walk toward the elevator lobbies, they pass "living" walls of live plants.
The building's high-performance, low-E glass reduces energy use while admitting daylight. Linked to the building's automated exterior window shade system, the lighting system uses daylight sensors to harvest daylight and reduce the solar heat load.
"This new facility has been designed to allow for easier renovations and new configurations to foster more scientific collaboration amongst NCI staff," said Daryl Paunil, PE, Director, NCI Office of Space and Facilities Management.

As I neared the top of the hill where the earliest burials at Hillcrest began, I immediately was drawn to a family plot that contained the grave sites of members of the Nelson Family. The plot was surrounded by a wrought iron fence, rusty but still in fairly good condition. Based on the substantial size of the monuments located in the plot, I thought the Nelson family must have been among the more prosperous citizens of Goodman around the turn of the twentieth century.
But what really caught my eye was the word "Denmark," inscribed on the markers, which told me that Nelson family members had been born in Denmark. The fact that someone buried in Holmes County, Mississippi, in the very small hamlet of Goodman, was born in Denmark is significant. Of the hundreds of thousands of people who migrated through Mississippi during the 1800s in their search for land and new lives, the Nelson family would be in a very small minority of settlers who would have been born in Denmark.
How and why the Nelson family would have chosen Holmes County and Goodman as a place to settle fascinated me, to say the least, and I wanted to know more. So I photographed the gravestones of those buried inside and near the family plot, including Carlotta's. Those photographs led me on a research journey that ended just this week. I hope you will follow me here as I tell Carlotta's story.

Assault and Battery Defence Lawyers Stoke
In English law, there is a distinction between Assault and Battery, which means you can be charged for either one depending on the circumstances. In general terms, assault is the apprehension of the possibility of immediate unlawful violence whilst battery is the infliction of such violence.
Assault Charges
The definition for assault is quite wide and it is a serious offence to commit. Assault involves a threat of an immediate battery but not necessarily an actual act of battery. Therefore, the intent or threat to commit such battery can be classed as assault, even if the defendant does not physically harm the victim.
It's also worth nothing that actions which constitute ordinary daily life are not considered assault or battery, for example, jostling on a crowded train.
Battery Charges
Battery is defined as intentionally or recklessly applying unlawful force to another without their consent. This can include a wide variety of acts against another person with examples being kissing, spitting and cutting hair as well as more harmful actions like punching or kicking.
For more serious acts of assault or battery you may be charged with either ABH or GBH which carry more severe punishments.
Assault and Battery Defences
There are certain circumstances where the law actually permits an individual to cause harm to another person without that amounting to a criminal offence.
This will usually include situations where a person has been acting in self defence. The law does allow a person to use reasonable force to defend himself from an actual assault / battery or from an anticipated assault. You do not have to wait to be hit before using violence against another person to prevent injury to yourself provided there was a genuine and real fear that you were about to be assaulted.
Very often injury can be caused to somebody else by accident. If the court accepts this it may find you not guilty.
For the best defence experienced Assault Lawyers are essential.

NEW YORK, March 10 (UPI) -- Mad Men star Elizabeth Moss appears topless and in overalls on the latest cover of New York Magazine.
The actress posed for the playful shoot and discussed her character Peggy Olson in the publication's March 10 issue. Moss has portrayed Peggy since the show's first season, and has been nominated for an Emmy four times for her performance.
Peggy's character has consistently evolved throughout the series. She started in season one as Don Draper's innocent but determined secretary, and has taken over his position as creative director by the end of season six. As her professional accomplishments increase, so does her persona -- from an ambitious and somewhat naive young woman to a sophisticated and powerful player well-versed in the corporate world.
Moss spoke of the character's progression in her interview, "In the opening credits, my name is after Jon Hamm's, who stars as Draper, but when I did the pilot I was not necessarily in that position. I'm number four on the call sheet. But [show creator] Matt [Weiner] put me second in the credits. I guess he knew what was going to happen."
The actress acknowledged that Peggy is "the one we relate to, the one that's us" on the show. The character's success has made her a feminist icon, and Moss said people often tell her that Peggy inspired them to change jobs.
Moss seems prepared for life after Mad Men, as the series comes to a close with a two-part final season. The actress has already taken part in several different projects, including a miniseries, Top of the Lake, and two short films, The One I Love and Listen Up Philip. She starred in the latter opposite Jason Schwartzman.
The future is still undecided, but Moss has evolved as an actress along with Peggy. Moss recently joked at work with her colleagues, "Do you remember when I used to come in and bring you [expletive]holes drinks and leave and that was my job?"
The first part of Mad Men's seventh season debuts on Sunday, April 13 at 10 p.m. EDT, and the latest edition of New York Magazine hit newsstands today.

Not many people had heard of stand-up paddleboarding until 10 years ago, when surfing star Laird Hamilton started catching gigantic waves standing on an oversized surfboard that he propelled with a long outrigger kayak paddle. But SUP, as it's known, didn't become today's hottest aquatic sport until average folk like Jeff Golden and Tracy Hartman started doing it out of the surf zone.
Golden, a San Juan Capistrano home builder, was overweight, hobbled by knee and shoulder injuries, suffering from insomnia and dragging himself to the health club to swim a couple of times a week. Six years ago, he tried SUP. Today, at 54, he's back to his high school weight, is injury-free, sleeps like a baby and is routinely stopped by people who ask how he got his flat stomach — all, he says, because he paddles 30 to 60 minutes in Capistrano Bay almost every day before work.
"Rain or shine, winter or summer, I'm out there," he says. "It's exhilarating being outdoors — it's not a workout."
Hartman, a Laguna Hills housewife, was looking for more physical activity beyond her "miserable" circuit-training classes but feared that stand-up paddleboarding would be too difficult. That changed five minutes into her first lesson two years ago. Today, the 47-year-old owns two paddleboards and paddles at least once a week.
"It's a two-for-one for busy women," she says. "We get to talk and get exercise at the same time. It must be working. Last week, while at Whole Foods, I got carded."
Driven by the fun workout, low learning curve and boards that have better flotation than in the past, SUP has risen from invisible to red-hot. According to the Outdoor Industry Assn., 1.24 million people SUPed last year, up 18% from 2010. Sales of SUPs, which are denser, heavier and more bouyant than surfboards, doubled to 150,000 last year, from 75,000 in 2010, according to Reid Inouye, publisher of Stand-Up Paddle magazine.
Retailers have happily adjusted. Paddle Power, a venerable Newport Beach kayak seller, now "predominantly sells SUPs," says manager Jim Smiley. Cristina Kochevar, water sports category manager for West Marine, the country's biggest water sport retailer with 308 stores, would not release sales figures but said, "SUP is going gangbusters — the biggest growth initiative in our company."
Beginner boards range from $700 to $1,200. Rentals, typically around $20 an hour, are also jumping; "We began renting SUPs two years ago, and now they're 40% of our business," says Mike Ong, owner of Irvine-based Southwind Kayak.
SUP's sudden popularity is no surprise, according to Dick DeBoer, founder and board member of the World Stand-up Paddlboard Assn. "It takes no great skills, it's doable on the coast or inland in rivers and lakes," he says.
There's a bonus too, DeBoer says: "Looking down on the water, you can see fish!"
Helping drive SUP's visibility is a growing race scene, including the epic Battle of the Paddle on Sept. 24-25 in Dana Point. This weekend is the biggest SUP race of the year: The Molokai-2-Oahu Paddleboard World Championship: 32 miles of open ocean with 10- to 15-foot swells.
Athletes are following. Redondo Beach's Danny Ching, a longtime local outrigger champion, added stand-up in 2009. He won the 10-mile SUP race at the 2011 Battle of the Paddle and is regarded by many as the world's best. (There is no official SUP championship yet.)
The sport of SUP was birthed by Hamilton a decade ago but was conceived in the 1960s by Waikiki surfing instructors, who tried paddling standing up to take photos of their surfing school clients. And it has spawned an impressive variety of specializations and purpose-built boards — for paddle surfing, racing and recreation. A recent addition is a real stretch: SUP yoga.
Sarah Tiefenthaler, 30, runs Marina del Rey-based Yogaqua, one of 82 companies in the U.S. (up from two a year ago) offering yoga classes on stand-up paddleboards. Her students do staples like downward dog, warrior one and triangle pose with a tad more precision and balance, she says.
"If your weight isn't distributed perfectly from front to back, you'll go in the water," Tiefenthaler says, claiming that only happens to about 2 out of 10 people in the summer and none in the winter, when she leaves out the shakier one-legged positions, like the tree pose.

Celebrity "Pop-Up" Restaurant in San Franciscoby Janice Wald Henderson | 11.02.12
Check your calendar for a chance to sample Celebrity Cruise-style cuisine in San Francisco Nov. 14 and 15.
The Celebrity "Pop-up" Restaurant will feature cuisine designed by Celebrity chef John Suley
It's only for a couple days. November 14-15 2012, to be exact. But for those two days, Celebrity Cruises is bringing its onboard cuisine to Stable Café in San Francisco's Mission District. In the name of good deeds (and no doubt good promotion), Celebrity is donating ticket proceeds to the Celebrity Cruises Scholarship at The Culinary Institute of America (CIA), which has a campus in St. Helena, California (besides the original Hyde Park, New York site.)
John Suley, Celebrity's Director of Culinary Operations, is at the helm of the pop-up venture, along with his team of chefs. Some menu items are inspired by seasonal, local ingredients and flavors in and around San Francisco and the Pacific Northwest.
So what's on the shore-side menu? Think lunch items like roasted parsnip salad with apple, celery, radicchio, capriago cheese (Asiago-style, made with goat milk by northern California artisan company) and truffled hazelnut vinaigrette.
Other spotlighted dishes include five-spice-crusted Cervena venison loin with celery root fondant, wilted spinach, red cabbage marmalade and lingonberry sauce, as served in Celebrity's specialty restaurant Murano. Also, Jerusalem artichoke veloute (soup) with chanterelle (wild) mushrooms, mascarpone cheese, Iberico ham and sourdough crouton; and seared Arctic char (cold-water fish, similar in taste somewhere between salmon and trout) with "beluga" pasta, chorizo, mussels and smoked paprika emulsion. "Strawberry Fields" dessert hails from my favorite Celebrity speciality restaurant, Qsine.
Celebrity has partnered with Tasting Table to invite its San Francisco-area subscribers to the events. Attendees will be entered into a giveaway to win a seven-night Alaska cruise for two on Celebrity Solstice in 2013. Tickets are available online at celebritycruisespopup.eventbrite.com and subject to availability.
This pop-up venture is for a good cause and anyway, you may win a free cruise. At the least, if you attend, one thing's for certain: You're not going to get seasick. (celebritycruises.com)

Not many would know that about a thousand years ago, Larin, a hairpin-shaped silver currency from Iran, was used as a common currency for international trade between Iran, Turkey, Arabia, India, Sri Lanka and the Maldives.
One comes across many such interesting facts on the history of sultanate's currency in the Central Bank of Oman (CBO) museum located in the bank's premises.
The 14 year old museum is a treasure trove in the true sense of the word, giving visitors an insight into the nation's trysts with various currencies before the rial came into circulation.
It has over 672 different currencies, including 564 metal coins of different shapes, sizes, colour and weight and 108 banknotes, each telling a story from the pages of history.
If some coins have inscriptions from the Holy Q'uran and the Hijri calendar, some have ports, forts, animals, sports, the ruler's image, Oman's springs, ancient wells, underground channels, souqs, houses, mosques and the education system on them.
All these were produced in mints using fire, hammers, tongs and a couple of men. Using these primeval tools, the men would produce around 400 coins a day, according to the museum's curator.
A visitor can also see Chinese coins and Indian rupees adorning the walls of the museum. The grey, pink and purple coloured notes are the Gulf rupee issued by the Government of India in 1959 for use in Oman and other Gulf countries.
The museum curator informs that a ten Gulf rupee note which looked similar to the one used in India "had higher exchange value during trade."
The most important and rare exhibit is the silver dirham, struck in Oman in 81AH during the rule of Caliph Abd al Malik bin Marwan of the Umayyad dynasty.
It is the oldest coin minted in the Arabian peninsula and has the name Uman on it, which means it was minted in the sultanate, the curator says. There are only two such coins in the world.
The museum also houses all the commemorative coins issued till date on National Days, including the most expensive one – made of gold, weighing 1,300gm and worth RO22,000. There are only two such coins in existence.
Another commemorative gold coin depicts details of the Albu Said dynasty starting from 1744. Details of 14 generations of this dynasty and the period of its rule are inscribed on the coin that weighs around 598gm. Months of the 1997 calendar year have also been engraved on another such commemorative gold coin.
One also gets to know a lot about Saidi rial, the first united currency that came into circulation in the sultanate in May 1970 and how it came to be widely accepted.
The Saidi rial played an important role in making Oman a modern society after His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said took over as ruler. He ordered that all coins minted after 1971 should carry the name, 'Sultanate of Oman', embodying national unity.
The museum also exhibits gold, silver and bronze coins that have been issued on special occasions during the rule of His Majesty the Sultan.
They highlight various facets of the Omani culture and important national and international events. An information board in each hall of the museum helps visitors know details about different currencies with just the touch of a button.
The CBO is thinking of renovating the museum by the end of 2013 and there are plans to introduce more coins and interactive touch-screen information boards in line with famous museums across the world. Another coin will be added to the museum's immense collection after the 42nd National Day this year.

Denny McLain becomes a 30-game winner
On this day in 1968, Detroit Tigers pitcher Denny McLain wins his 30th game of the season, becoming the first 30-game winner in the major leagues since 1938. The Tigers scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth to come from behind in a 5-4 decision over the Oakland A's.
McLain, a hard-throwing right-hander with a personality that reflected the freewheeling late 1960s, was 24 years old in 1968. On September 14, fans eager to witness the possible pitching milestone packed Tigers Stadium, and NBC broadcast the game nationally with former St. Louis Cardinal Dizzy Dean, the last pitcher to win 30 games in the major leagues, providing color commentary.
Anticipation built as McLain held the young and powerful A's scoreless until the fourth inning, when their budding superstar Reggie Jackson connected for a home run with one man on, giving Oakland a 2-0 lead. The Tigers' Norm Cash answered in the bottom of the fourth with a three-run home run to put the Tigers up 3-2, but Oakland tied it up in the fifth when shortstop Bert Campaneris singled in a run, and took the lead 4-3 in the sixth when Jackson again sent one into the stands. McLain remained determined to go home with the win, however, and he hung in the game until the bottom of the ninth, when he was pulled for pinch-hitter Al Kaline with his team still trailing by one.
The move turned out to be a good one for McLain: Kaline was walked, and with one out, Mickey Stanley singled up the middle, sending Kaline to third. Next up was Jim Northrup, who hit a bouncing ball up the first base line to A's first baseman Danny Carter, as Kaline raced toward home. Carter's throw sailed high over home plate, and Kaline was safe, tying the game at 4-4. With the home crowd at Tigers Stadium cheering him on, Willie Horton came to the plate and, with the count at 2-2, sent the ball to deep left out of A's left fielder Jim Gosger's reach for the winning run to give McLain his historic 30th win.
McClain won the American League Cy Young Award in 1968 and again in 1969, before being suspended at the beginning of the 1970 season on suspicion of gambling. His career in the majors officially ended in 1972. McLain served prison time for federal racketeering in the mid-eighties, and again a decade later for money laundering.

Feel Free To Listen:
Typically whenever I do an audioblog entry it's written out ahead of time and then I read off of that script. But as a gesture of sincerity towards the words that I'm about to say, this time around I just decided to speak first and then transcribe later for those who prefer to read.
The reason there won't be a regular audioblog entry this week is because I don't feel that me talking about VO-related matters, in light of what happened with the "Dark Knight Rises" incident would be appropriate, basically. But for however little my words mean, there is something that I'd like to say to anybody who follows me on a regular basis, and that'd be this:
Remember what matters in life.
Somebody once told me that, "You can't do VO for money, 'cause you'll never be happy. The only way you're truly gonna be happy is if you find personal happiness in the experiences you share with your loved ones."
So take a moment to think about that, is all I'll say. Think about the people who are important in your life. If they're friends, give them a call and ask to hang out for a bit. If they're family members, take an opportunity to give them a call this weekend and tell them you love them. Or, better yet, if you can reach out to them in person, give them a big hug and tell them you love them. 'Cause when you really get down to it I do believe that it's the people in your life that matter the most.

The Worlds Greatest Smasher of Faces
Brock Lesnar was an NCAA wrestling champion and a WWE refugee and even tried out for the Minnesota Vikings. But the man they called the Next Big Thing really wants to be the baddest mofo in Ultimate Fighting history—that is, if it doesn't kill him first
When the world last saw Brock Lesnar, he was flipping it the middle finger. It was July 2009 in Las Vegas, and Lesnar had just defended his Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight title by punching his archrival, Frank Mir, into bloody sausage. As a dazed Mir gasped for breath, the victorious star preened, stalking the chain-link Octagon, and grabbed a microphone. "Frank Mir had a horseshoe up his ass," he growled. "I pulled that son of a bitch out and beat him over the head with it." Then Lesnar threw an elbow at Bud Light, a prominent UFC sponsor. "I'm going to drink a Coors Light. Bud Light won't pay me nothing." And just in case anyone didn't think he was a gentleman, Lesnar made sure to thank his family and friends: "Hell, I might even get on top of my wife tonight." It was the most watched UFC fight in league history.
Still not on board with the fun of Ultimate Fighting? Good luck with that. In 2010, it's like saying you're not sure about that whole Internet thing or hybrid cars. The UFC's brand of mixed martial arts—two men enter an eight-sided cage and use whatever fighting technique they want in an almost-no-holds-barred fight to submission—is an estimated billion-dollar industry now. While other sports struggle against a tide of eroding ratings and shrinking market share, the UFC churns out a smash reality TV show (The Ultimate Fighter) and packed live events that fill stadiums from Portland to Abu Dhabi.
Depending on the fighters' styles, a fight can be brilliantly athletic or a bloody slog on the floor, but over three five-minute rounds the average MMA contest delivers something most sports don't: clarity. If you're tired of overgoverned leagues, pampered athletes, and commercial interruptions, the UFC offers simple, primal conflict. And yet it still lingers in the sub-rosa culture, without a household name like Peyton or Kobe.
Lesnar could change that. In just five MMA fights over two years, the 32-year-old former Worldwide Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) star and onetime wannabe Minnesota Vikings defensive lineman has become one of the UFC's most compelling, if divisive, personalities—a colorful ex-fake fighter who swooped in and kicked ass for real. Lesnar's 2009 throwdown with Mir attracted 1.6 million pay-per-view subscribers, more than double the number that shelled out to see Manny Pacquiao's latest twirl in the ring.
"It's pure," Lesnar said of the sport that made him famous, when he met GQ at his gym in rural Minnesota. "People like violence. It's in everybody's blood. Everybody fights. It's instinct."
Seeing him up close, you can understand why he'd be terrifying to lock yourself in a cage with. Norman Rockwell would have dug Brock Lesnar's face. It's a face that looks like it wants to order an egg cream. And then smash it over your head. But what makes him a terror in the Octagon—and made him a fearsome heavyweight NCAA wrestling national champion—is not just size but speed and endurance. He once ran a 4.7 forty-yard dash at 290 pounds, and his stamina is extraordinary. "He was ferocious," says Erik Paulson, who coaches him for his UFC fights and saw his potential in WWE. "It was like, 'If that guy could learn how to punch and kick, he's going to tear the heads off people.'"
Once Lesnar defeated Mir, he seemed on a course for Tiger Woods-like domination. But a few months later, Lesnar fell mysteriously ill. On a hunting trip to Canada, he checked himself into a hospital. His November 2009 fight was suddenly canceled and rumors began to spread. The raucous Internet message boards that chronicle the UFC were riveted: What was wrong with Brock Lesnar? He didn't know himself. He later learned he'd developed a rupture in his intestine that was leaking, toxifying his body.
"The only way I can describe it is getting shot with a shotgun in the stomach," he says. Surgery was an option, but recovery was long and could jeopardize his UFC career. "I crawled down a hole," he says of his time in the hospital. "I got cuckoo on drugs. I called [UFC president] Dana White and told him to go fuck himself. I fired everybody I could fire. The nurses were afraid to come in the room."
It was the kind of end that might have seemed befitting for a character like Lesnar: alone, unreachable, having rebelled even against the sport that is a refuge for guys with ammunition sponsors and bloodtipped-knife tattoos. Then, during a January examination at the Mayo Clinic, Lesnar says, doctors told him the intestinal rupture was healing itself. Lesnar, who'd been doing little more than eating better, was shocked.
He announced his comeback in early winter, and on July 3 in Las Vegas he will fight Shane Carwin—who, in Lesnar's absence, became the UFC's interim champion. Lesnar, totally unsurprisingly, calls it a "fake belt." White expects the Fourth of July weekend battle to be a blockbuster event, in no small part because the medical drama "humanized" the cantankerous heavyweight. "All the people who hated Brock, who didn't think he belonged here, all had the chance to sit around and go, 'Wow, imagine if Brock Lesnar never fights again,' " White says. "As a human being, you think, 'I hope this guy is okay.' But as a fight fan, you're like, 'Ah, we're getting robbed.'"
But Brock Lesnar isn't ready to feel sentimental about almost losing his job. He may never be. "I was fucking helpless," the once and future headliner of the biggest fighting league in the world says. "There I was, the new champion, and I couldn't fight. I've got people I want to fucking beat up."

A word from Dr. Ed Young:
Congratulations to both of you on having made one of the most significant decisions of your lives! While I believe that making Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior is the most life changing decision you can make, choosing the one with whom you will spend the rest of your life in this sacred covenant of marriage is certainly a matter of highest priority. Now that you have chosen to commit yourselves to one another, let me encourage you personally to make Christ the center of your engagement, your marriage and your home, and to continually seek His leadership as you begin your new life together.
Because your upcoming wedding is a prelude to the marriage that will follow, I know of no better way to begin than with a ceremony that puts God as its center. The ministers here at Second Baptist Church are committed to working with you to see that your wedding is worshipful, memorable and personal. We will make every effort to accommodate your individual requests that are in keeping with this goal.
Once again, I rejoice with you at the very special time in your lives. My prayer is that in this busy time you would not miss one single thing that God has planned for you. May He continue to bless you as you look for Him for guidance in the days ahead.

The TRACE method is primarily used for debugging and testing purposes, and simply requests that the server echo back the request it received. This can be useful for identifying any changes to the request that is made by proxies.
The TRACE method is used to invoke a remote, application-layer loop-back of the request message. The final recipient of the request should reflect the message received back to the client as the entity-body of a 200 (OK) response. The final recipient is either the origin server or the first proxy or gateway to receive a max-Forwards value of zero (0) in the request (see section 14.31 of RFC2616).
The trace method simply requires providing a URL and reading the
response received. Additional headers can be added with the
addRequestHeader method as with any other HttpMethod.
TraceMethod trace = new TraceMethod("http://jakarata.apache.org"); // Execute the method and handle any errors. ... // Read the response body. String request = trace.getResponseBodyAsString(); trace.releaseConnection();
The trace method is defined in section 9.6 of RFC2616.

BRISTOL — The town of Bristol is getting nearly $250,000 in federal funds for improvements to the road, sidewalk, streets and pedestrian walkways in the village center, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., announced Thursday.
"We're really pleased to get this money," said Bristol town administrator Bill Bryant. "These funds will help implement some of the physical improvements that have been planned for several years as part of an effort to maintain the downtown's vitality," he added.
Bristol selectmen aren't sure yet what specifically the money will be used for, according to Selectwoman Carol Wells. The selectboard has a number of projects it would like to address in the downtown area when time and money become available.
"We're getting prices for some of the different plans we have," said Wells, who is also a founding member of the Bristol Downtown Community Partnership, a nonprofit group devoted to improvements in Bristol downtown.
Those projects may include adding trees, a grassy area, footpaths, curbs and sidewalks to Prince Lane between Brooks Pharmacy, Shaw's Supermarket and the back of the Main Street businesses. The town may also add curbs to the Brooks Pharmacy parking lot or the corner of the town green near the playground equipment or new lights to the town green.
An estimate made in 2007 for the Prince Lane project alone was about $400,000, so the town would have to seek grants from other sources to support the rest of the work.

GOSHEN — The Vermont Supreme Court on Friday issued a majority opinion overturning the felony "cultivation of marijuana" conviction of a Goshen man on grounds that the man's constitutional rights were violated by authorities' aerial search of his property.
The ruling is expected to set a major precedent for how law enforcement in Vermont conducts aerial searches.
In June of 2005 Addison County District Court Judge Christina Reiss sentenced Stephen Bryant to 45 days in jail in connection with his cultivation of 49 marijuana plants that he said he'd been using to treat chronic pain from a horrific construction site accident he had sustained in 1974.
Vermont State Police detected his illegal crop during a helicopter flyover of Bryant's Goshen property on Aug. 7, 2003. They executed a search warrant the next day.
Bryant and his attorney, Robert Keiner of Middlebury, argued that Bryant had been using the marijuana for medicinal purposes and that the aerial photographs constituted an illegal search. A majority of the Supreme Court justices agreed to the latter argument but did not take up the former.
The opinion, written by Justice Marilyn Skoglund, noted — among other things — testimony offered by the defense quoting witnesses as saying the VSP's surveillance helicopter was less than 500 feet above Bryant's property for around 30 minutes.
"The (lower) court concluded that the police surveillance was not so intrusive as to violate the Vermont Constitution," the opinion reads. "We disagree and reverse."
The justices also noted that state laws governing aeronautics require that aircraft must maintain an altitude of at least 500 feet, except above water or sparsely populated areas.
NEW HAVEN — New Haven resident and property owner Steve Dupoise has filed a petition to rezone 20 acres of land along Route 7 south of Belden Falls Road to allow commercial development.
If the town votes to support the petition, Dupoise said that Town and Country Homes, a dealer of manufactured housing now based in Vergennes, would move to a five-acre parcel on the corner of Belden Falls Road and Route 7.
The planning commission of New Haven decided not to endorse the change, but the petition will result in a town vote on the matter.
In anticipation of the townwide vote, the commission will hold a public hearing to discuss the plan on Thursday, April 3, at 7 p.m. in the town hall. The selectboard will hold a hearing after that and then the vote will be scheduled.
Steve and Marcia Dupoise own a parcel of about 30 acres on the west side of Route 7, south of Belden Falls Road. The southernmost 10 acres is zoned as highway commercial and is already the site of Ethan Allen Highway Storage, which they own.
Steve Dupoise said Town and Country Homes owners Pat and Lisa Whitley approached him to see about moving their business to the Route 7 site for greater visibility. Whitley could not be reached for comment, but if the proposal to rezone the area is granted, Dupoise said Town and Country Homes would probably resemble a housing development, with two or three sample homes on the site and a small office.
Dupoise said he had no plans for the space between the existing storage company and the proposed site of Town and Country Homes, although the proposal to rezone includes that parcel, too.
According to New Haven Planning Commission chairman Al Karnatz, the commission had decided not to recommend the change when Dupoise approached them.

As many of you know, I�m working hard at losing weight. To date, I�ve lost a little over 45 pounds and I�m eating regular food. My overall health is improving too. It�s not been a quick weight loss. I�ve been averaging loosing a pound a week. The good thing is that I�m not hungry and I don�t feel deprived.
One of the tools that has helped me is a cookbook titled, �Healthy Voyager�s Global Kitchen.� The book is loaded with plant-based recipes from around the world and it is written by Carolyn Scott-Hamilton.
In reading and studying this cookbook, I have discovered 150 of the best-tasting international recipes from around the globe. They have been veganized for your enjoyment. The author will show you as she showed me how to re-create the tastes you�ve been dreaming of ever since your last vacation or even your last trip to your favorite restaurant. And with gluten-free, low-glycemic, soy-free, low-fat, and raw-food notations on every applicable recipe, everyone will be able to join in the fun of global plant-based cuisine.
The flavors and recipes in this cookbook will rock your taste buds. This food will not bore you. I highly recommend this cookbook to you and suggest that you visit the author�s website, healthyvoyager.com. I also recommend that you add this wonderful cookbook to your kitchen library.
Whether you are vegan, gluten free, kosher, or like me, just trying to add healthier options to your repertoire, this cookbook is your answer to healthier cooking. Plus you will end up losing weight slowly, and keeping it off.
The weekend�s coming and it�s time to kick back�in the kitchen, of course. I�ve scoped out three tempting fall recipes for you to try, depending on your time and taste.
Toast the changing seasons with a glass of Apple Cider Sangria. Take a few minutes out of your afternoon to make the spiced apple cider mixture, then let it chill and mix up a pitcher of sangria later in the day.
Spiced Apple Cider Sangria
Apple Cider Sangria filled with hints of orange, cinnamon, and clove; perfect for fall. Doubling this recipe is highly recommended.
For the Spiced Apple Cider:
2 cups apple cider (the real stuff - opaque in color & found in the refrigerator section)
1/3 cup sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
2 orange slices (rounds)
For the Spiced Apple Cider Sangria:
1 bottle inexpensive Spanish red wine (I used Tempranillo)
2 cups spiced apple cider (recipe above)
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup brandy
For the Spiced Apple Cider:
Mix together all ingredients in a medium-sized saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and then remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Strain before using.
For the Spiced Apple Cider Sangria:
Mix ingredients together in a large pitcher and garnish with orange wheels and cinnamon sticks. To serve, pour over ice.
Bacon Cheddar Scones make a perfect weekend breakfast accompaniment or coffee break treat. Use a sharp cheddar and quality bacon for the best flavors. Leftovers? Freeze them and enjoy throughout the week.
Bacon Cheddar Scones
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1-2 tsp. ground black pepper (depending on your preference)
8 tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1� cups grated cheddar cheese
4 green onions, thinly slices
10 slices bacon, cooked and chopped or crumbled into small pieces
1 cup buttermilk (plus up to � cup extra, if needed)
For the egg wash:
1 large egg
2 tbsp. water
Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and black pepper; mix briefly to combine. Add the cubes of butter and mix on low speed until the mixture is crumbly and the butter pieces are about the size of small peas. (Alternatively, this can be done in a regular mixing bowl, using a pastry blender or two knives to cut the butter into the dry ingredients). Add in the grated cheese and mix just until incorporated.
Mix in the green onions, bacon, and 1 cup of the buttermilk into the flour-butter mixture. Stir by hand just until all the ingredients are incorporated. If the dough is too dry to come together, mix in the remaining buttermilk a tablespoon or two at a time until the dough can be formed into a ball. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat the dough into an 8-inch disk. Slice the dough into 8 to 10 wedges.
In a small bowl combine the egg and water and whisk together. Brush each wedge lightly with the egg wash. Transfer the scones to an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
For the last recipe, your friends and family will be shouting "whoopie" when they find Carrot Cake Sandwich Cookies stacked high on a platter. Two moist, richly spiced cookies are held together with a sweet and fluffy cream cheese frosting.
Carrot Cake Sandwich Cookies
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter � room temp
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs � room temp
1 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats � not instant
1 1/2 cup grated carrots � about 3 large carrots
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup toasted chopped walnuts
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or simply spray with cooking spray.
In a mixer, beat butter and sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3 � 4 minutes in a stand mixer). Add eggs and vanilla and beat on medium until well combined.
Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger; whisk to combine. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture; mix on low until just combined. Do not over mix.
Mix in oats, carrots, raisins and walnuts. Chill dough for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Shape tablespoons of dough into balls and place on prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. I flattened mine a bit and sprinkled a bit of sugar on the tops before putting in the oven.
Bake until browned and crisp around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes (mine took 11 minutes so check early) rotating halfway through. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
That�s all for today. I hope that you will try these recipes and bring fall into you family kitchen.
Until next week � eat well!

Carboplatin/Taxol Weekly vs. Every 3 Weeks
I was recently diagnosed with non-resectable Stage IIIB non-small lung cancer. My treatment to date has been 33 radiation therapy treatments concurrently with 7 low-dose carboplatin and taxol chemotherapy treatments given weekly with radiation therapy. There is a question as to the next course of treatment: low-dose chemotherapy (3 weeks on, 1 week off) or high-dose chemotherapy (once monthly), both using the same chemotherapy drugs that I have already received. Is there research supporting one regimen over the other? I am trying to choose the best option for my continued treatment. Thank you for your response.
Barbara Campling, MD, Medical Oncologist, responds:
Your treatment for Stage IIIB non-small cell lung cancer has been appropriate. Radiation therapy is the most important and only potentially curative modality of treatment for this stage of NSCLC, and the concurrent use of chemotherapy has been shown to enhance the efficacy of radiation therapy. You have now been advised to undergo "consolidation" chemotherapy following completion of radiation therapy. It is not known how much benefit the "consolidation" chemotherapy adds to the "definitive" concurrent chemotherapy and radiation therapy that you have already received. Some trials have not shown a benefit to giving additional chemotherapy, which adds toxicity and patient morbidity, while others with newer chemotherapy agents have shown clinical benefits. You have been offered two choices: either "low-dose" (3 weeks on, 1 week off) or "high-dose" (once monthly) carboplatin and taxol. If you are going to go ahead with consolidation chemotherapy, you should have full doses. A full dose of taxol would be 200-225 mg per meter squared given every three weeks. A full dose of carboplatin would be an AUC (area under the concentration-time curve) of 6, given every three weeks. It is also unclear how many cycles of consolidation chemotherapy are necessary. We usually give two full-dose cycles.

Uneasy Carmelo Anthony talks about his Nuggets future
WASHINGTON — Today I caught up with Carmelo Anthony, and for the first time, I really felt a sense of uncertainty from the guy.
Asked where he thought he'd be traded, the Nuggets all-star said, "At this point, I really don't know.
"New Jersey took that deal off the table. In order for me to consider them, I'd have to agree to the meeting. Now, it's washed under the table."
I Asked: Are the options strictly New Jersey, New York, Chicago, Denver?
Melo said, "Yeah. But I really can't say it's just those, because I don't really know (what could happen)."
This, of course, is in reference to the reality that Denver could trade Melo to a team he doesn't want to play for long-term. If that happens, then he might not sign the three-year, $65 million contract extension to play for that team. Instead, he'd opt out of his current contract and be a free agent this summer, likely signing with the Knicks. But – he would take a significant pay cut, due to the new collective bargaining agreement.
I asked, "If they trade you somewhere, and you don't sign the extension, you're screwed …" But then, before he could answer, I justified by saying, "Well, not necessarily screwed…" But, Melo flashed a smile and said: "Screwed."
He continued: "There are a lot of things that come into play when you look at this situation. The fact that they can send you wherever they want to. The fact that, wherever they send me, would I sign the extension there? It's a lot of stuff I think about through all of this."
Asked what's going to happen next, Melo said, "I haven't had any dialogue with (team executive) Masai (Ujiri) or anybody like that. Usually I talk to Masai, but a lot of stuff has died down. I'm pretty sure they've been behind closed doors, doing what they do. But I haven't talked to them personally."
I joked to Melo that there is a new phrase going around the NBA – "Melo fatigue," in reference to people just worn down from talking and debating about Melo all season.
"If this is fatiguing for everyone, imagine how it is for me," he said with a grin. "I still have to go out there and perform on the basketball court."
Tonight is Denver's lone game in D.C., so it's a homecoming for Anthony, who spent ages 9-16 in nearby Baltimore. His mother will be in a suite tonight at Verizon Center.
"It feels good because she hasn't been able to get out to Denver as much as she has in the past," he said. "I'll see her, family, friends, people from Baltimore and D.C.
The only thing I'll miss is seeing my sister (who recently passed away). She usually would come to this game, a game she always looked forward to. I know she's watching."

Defensive tackle Richard Seymour remained absent from practice with a hamstring strain during the Raiders' media availability window Thursday, increasing the possibility he won't be able to play against the Indianapolis Colts.
Offensive tackle Langston Walker was on the field but without a helmet, assistant a line coach giving pointers to Mario Henderson. Henderson will start if walker has not completed concussion protocol.
Defensive coordinator John Marshall told the media extra film study was necessary this week to deal with the tempo set by quarterback Peyton Manning.
That being the case, maybe that's where everyone was during the team's open locker room session, during which fewer players were available than at any time I can remember.
Saw Tommy Kelly, Sam Williams, Shaun Bodiford, Stanford Routt, Bruce Davis and Jarvis Moss, and Cooper Carlisle. John Henderson came in before closing time and wasn't much interested in talking. Jarvis Moss made his way across the room a couple of times.

Holiday mailings are as much a part of the American tradition as kids' letters to Santa.
We've talked a lot about the growth in packages, including those all-important holiday gifts. But the Postal Service is also doing its bit to make sure Big Red knows who's been naughty and who's been nice. As in years past, families with young "believers" have been taking advantage of the Postal Service offering that ensures letters from Santa have a North Pole postmark (so long as the request was made by December 10).
Still others go to greater lengths to get in the spirit of the season. Each December holiday enthusiasts travel to the quiet town of Christmas, FL and visit its local post office, so their Christmas cards will be postmarked from Christmas itself. And for early planners, the Postal Service offers postmarks on letters and cards from other "Christmas-themed" towns, including Santa Claus, IN; Rudolph, OH; Antlers, ND; and any number of places called Bethlehem. Click here for the full list.
Whether you are mailing your holiday greetings and goodies from an exotic locale or putting them on the front stoop for your local carrier to pick up – Pushing the Envelope wishes you a wonderful holiday season and a very healthy and prosperous New Year.
We also want to remind you to check back with us on Monday, January 6 when we will post our list of Top 10 Stories of the Year. As always, we welcome your feedback.

Environmental Crime
Carole Gibbs and Rachel Boratto
Environmental crime is a complex and ambiguous term for several reasons. It is sometimes used as an umbrella term for crimes related to biodiversity, wildlife, animals, natural resources, hazardous waste, banned substances, and environmental quality, but scholars have also developed typologies to capture the unique dimensions of each form of environmental crime. Disagreements regarding whether to distinguish violations of environmental laws (addressed via civil prosecution or administrative actions) from environmental crimes (criminally prosecuted), and whether to also consider environmental harms (legal activities that harm the environment) or environmental risks produce further confusion. The range of offenders also complicates this concept, as individuals, groups/networks, and powerful organizations commit environmental crimes. The degree of harm created by each actor may, or may not, be equivalent.
Given the complexities of this area of study, scholars have developed and/or tested a wide range of theoretical perspectives on and interventions to address environmental crime. Consistent with conceptual disagreements, these theoretical frameworks and corresponding interventions vary (arguably the most) based on whether the dependent variable is environmental crime (as defined by law), or environmental harm or risk defined using other criteria. However, multiple theoretical perspectives/interventions are also examined within research on these broad categories of environmental crime, harm, and risk. In order to capture the breadth of research on environmental crime, we narrow the focus of this article to pollution related crimes (e.g., hazardous waste, banned substances, environmental quality). In the following article, we offer further detail regarding conceptual discussions, legal complexities, types of offenders, types of crime, and research on this subset of environmental crimes.
Immigration and Crime
Frances Bernat
In the context of crime, victimization, and immigration in the United States, research shows that people are afraid of immigrants because they think immigrants are a threat to their safety and engage in many violent and property crimes. However, quantitative research has consistently shown that being foreign born is negatively associated with crime overall and is not significantly associated with committing either violent or property crime. If an undocumented immigrant is arrested for a criminal offense, it tends to be for a misdemeanor. Researchers suggest that undocumented immigrants may be less likely to engage in serious criminal offending behavior because they seek to earn money and not to draw attention to themselves. Additionally, immigrants who have access to social services are less likely to engage in crime than those who live in communities where such access is not available. In regard to victimization, immigrants are more likely to be victims of crime. Foreign-born victims of crime may not report their victimization because of fears that they will experience negative consequences if they contact the police. Recently, concern about immigration and victimization has turned to refugees who are at risk of harm from traffickers, who warehouse them, threaten them, and physically abuse them with impunity. More research is needed on the relationship among immigration, offending, and victimization. The United States and other nations that focus on border security may be misplacing their efforts during global crises that result in forced migrations. Poverty and war, among other social conditions that would "encourage" a person to leave their homeland in search of a better life, should be addressed by governments when enforcing immigration laws and policy.

So where do you start? We've all heard that reading readiness starts in infancy so let's just fast forward to the toddler and preschool years.
Age 1-2
- Begin singing the alphabet song! If you know an alphabet song that goes through both letters and sounds all the better. If you don't know one, try googling, and see if you can find one that you like. Or you can try this site: www.starfall.com.
- Sing the alphabet song at breakfast or lunch when the child is in his or her high chair and not otherwise occupied. For even more cognitive stimulation you can throw in some flash cards (not for the child to eat, mind you, but to show as you sing ;). Choose flash cards with pictures as this will help later with beginning letter sound recognition.
- (For the 2 year olds) Get magnetic letters for the fridge. These are so inexpensive and are such a great teaching tool. Choose 3-5 letters to have on the fridge (at the child's level). Play with them for a couple minutes each day and talk about the sounds they say and words that begin with that sound.
Ages 3-4
- If you have already been singing the alphabet song with letter sounds for a while you'll be surprised at your child's ability to volunteer the beginning sounds of words they come across during the day. For example, my little guy used to love telling me things like, (while playing with his animal figures) "T-T-Tiger, Hey, Mom, did you know tiger starts with t-t-tiger?" Me, "Wow, you know that tiger starts with t-t! Do you know what letter makes the t-t sound?" Him, "T!!!"
- When your child is ready to have individual letters introduced begin with LOWERCASE. In order to begin reading children need to know the lowercase letters.
- It isn't necessary to teach the letters in order. Some of the easiest letters for children to remember and make the sounds for are: m, p, a, s, t, b
- Avoid introducing similar letters like p, b, and d together. Remember that a lot of children have difficulty with these letters. If your child does have trouble with these letters don't hesitate to help.
- Don't feel like you need to teach the entire alphabet before your child can begin reading. You can make quite a few words out of the letters: m, a, p, s, t, b, g, h (these are some of the easily recognizable letters). Lets look at some of the words you can make: has, bag, hat, pam, sat, sam, a, pat, bat. You can make little storybooks with simple words.
- Use only short vowels first until your child has mastered reading simple words with short vowels.
- Avoid beginning reading books that mix sight words with simple phonetic words. (Two exceptions to this rule are "the" and "have") Sight words are great, but they are a little too cognitively advanced for 3 and 4 year olds.
- Teach children to sound out words like there is a motor in their mouth (aren't most kids motor mouths anyway!). Put your finger under the letter and make the letter sound with the child. Keep making that sound until your finger gets to the next letter and you begin making the next sound. Sounding out words with this kind of fluidity helps children to hear the complete word.
- Keep it upbeat, praising your child's successes (effort is great success!). Keep reading sessions very short...unless your child is begging for more!

Workshop to give real-world experience to potential law students
February 8, 2013
The Black Law Student Association at Loyola University New Orleans College of Law is sponsoring a free two-day workshop to enlighten college students on the law school admissions process and provide helpful tips to effectively navigate that process and tackle the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT).
"Setting the Bar: Louisiana State Bar Association Pre-Law Conference" will be held Saturday, Feb. 16, 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in room 111 of the College of Law and Saturday, March 2, 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in room 405. It is co-sponsored by Tulane University's Black Law Students Association and the Louisiana State Bar Association's Committee on Diversity. The College of Law is located at 526 Pine Street in New Orleans.
The first day of the program will consist of a series of information sessions from key admissions personnel from area law schools who will share essential information on applications, resumes, personal statements and financial aid. A representative from Kaplan will share tips on preparing for and taking the LSAT. Finally, students will be exposed to a mock law school class.
Day two of the workshop will give students the opportunity to take the LSAT under normal testing conditions and times. Students who attend both days of the program will be entered into a raffle for a $1,600 tuition scholarship from Kaplan.
To register or receive additional information, please contact Kelly McNeil Legier at 504-619-0129 or Bonnie DeSalle at 504-231-4641.
