A clerical failure to record a 1995 zoning bylaw amendment to prohibit asphalt plants has caused an uproar among residents as the Planning Board considers a proposed asphalt manufacturing facility.
Residents have taken to social media and online petitions expressing concerns about health and environmental risks. At the same time, town officials are scratching their heads about why the vote prohibiting asphalt plants wasn't written into the books and what the implications are for the legality of current bylaws.
Medway resident Steven Bevilacqua, project owner of Evergreen Development, has proposed building a hot-mix asphalt manufacturing facility on 5.76 acres at 586 Quaker Highway. The project is the topic of a special permit hearing before the Planning Board at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Under current zoning bylaws, the proposal would appear to be eligible through a special permit from the Planning Board. But some residents who remember the contentious debate and vote 18 years ago disagree.
Town Manager Sean Hendricks said he planned to ask town counsel for an opinion about the bylaw conflict.
At a special town meeting on June 19, 1995, residents voted 162-10 to amend the zoning bylaws by prohibiting "bituminous asphalt batching and/or mixing/manufacturing plants and/or bituminous asphalt mixing/manufacturing equipment, machinery, structures and buildings related to the manufacture thereof."
A letter from the state attorney general's office dated Aug. 30, 1995, records certification of the amendment.
However, zoning bylaws dating to 2002 — the earliest ones town officials can find — don't reflect the amendment. Mr. Hendricks said town officials don't know why the asphalt prohibition didn't appear in print.
A 2008 zoning bylaw recodification committee, which attempted to clean up bylaws to comply with state laws, also did not incorporate the asphalt plant prohibition.
Voters at the Nov. 15, 2011, town meeting, in an effort to encourage business and update old bylaws that referenced blacksmith shops in industrial uses, approved zoning bylaws that allowed manufacturing in industrial zones with a special permit from the Planning Board.
In the same motion, voters approved a definition of a manufacturing establishment as: "any business the primary function of which is the assembly, fabrication, processing and reprocessing of materials, that is not dangerous by reason of fire, explosion, or other hazards, and does not produce excessive dust, odors, gas, smoke, vibration, noise or electromagnetic interference, and which would not be detrimental to the neighborhood or the town of Uxbridge.
"Specifically excepted are tanneries, wood pulp or paper mills, meat packing, slaughterhouses and/or meat rendering, and pet food plants, which are prohibited…"
Mr. Hendricks said he believed the 2011 bylaws would have included the 1995 prohibition on asphalt manufacturing if the 1995 amendment had made it into the books. He said there was no action to specifically remove asphalt manufacturing from the prohibited uses.
Jennifer L. Gallo, an Uxbridge resident and veterinarian, initiated an online petition opposing the current project proposal, claiming that town meeting voters in 2011 were not informed they were voting to remove asphalt manufacturing as a prohibited use. As of yesterday afternoon, 113 people had signed the petition.
In a letter written Dec. 29 to Uxbridge Town Counsel Patrick J. Costello, Joseph Frisk, another opponent of the proposed plant, wrote: "There was no direct action to repeal this lawfully passed prohibited use bylaw and therefore this bylaw was not lawfully repealed."
Dr. Gallo, who owns a local veterinary practice, said she's not anti-business, "but we want transparent business and industry that poses no risk to the community."
She cited reports from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, among other organizations, that found asphalt plants release large amounts of chemicals into the air, including cancer-causing pollutants such as arsenic, benzene, formaldehyde and cadmium.
Other toxic chemicals released while asphalt is loaded into trucks include volatile organic compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and very fine condensed particulates.
Dr. Gallo said she was concerned that the proposed plant was less than a mile from the new high school and would sit near the Rosenfeld Well area, a town water supply. She also questioned safety precautions if a fire were to break out, releasing potentially toxic emissions.
The proposed project has received an air quality permit from the state Department of Environmental Protection. Regulators said they determined that the installation, maintenance and operation of the facility would be in compliance with all air quality regulations.
Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs spokesman Reggie Zimmerman said the secretary does not have any further application material about the project. He said it might not require review under the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act, which is required for large projects that could substantially alter the environment.
Mr. Bevilacqua said he is investing $3.5 million to $4 million in the project and looked at several towns and read their bylaws before submitting a proposal to Uxbridge. The question about unrecorded prohibited uses in the zoning bylaws was "all new to me," he said in an interview.
Mr. Bevilacqua said he is proceeding because asphalt production is not prohibited under Uxbridge's bylaws.
He selected the site because of its strategic location just off Route 146.
Mr. Hendricks said Mr. Bevilacqua discussed his proposal with him, the chairman of the Board of Selectmen, the chairman of the Planning Board and the building inspector in September.
The 1995 bylaw amendment prohibiting asphalt plants was not brought to light until the application was presented to the Planning Board in December.
"There's no evidence he's trying to 'back door' this or shove anything down anybody's throat," Mr. Hendricks said.
He said that while local reaction ranges from frustration over a scrivener's error on the part of the town to talk of conspiracy that someone was waiting in the wings to develop a plant when the 2011 bylaws were passed, "We want the right thing to come out here. We're not looking at this as an adversarial process."

'True American Hate,' a new track from Testament's upcoming album 'Dark Roots of Earth,' is now available for streaming (listen below). The band's 10th studio album, and first since 2008's 'The Formation of Damnation' will be released July 31 on Nuclear Blast Records.
"It's partially fantasy-based, partially based on the prophecies of the Mayan calendar, partially based on the whole prophecy of the end-of-the-world," says guitarist Eric Peterson, "but nature always ends up taking charge in the aftermath, we always end up back with nature being in charge."
"Our world is changing." explains vocalist Chuck Billy. "It has changed over the last 10 years, the environment, the seasons, and it (makes you wonder) if there might be something to those prophecies."
"It's hard not to see what the media's feeding us." adds Peterson. "'The End of The World' is like a big billboard, an advertisement, and I think a lot of people believe in it."
'Dark Roots Of Earth' was produced, mixed and mastered by Andy Sneap. The bonus edition of the album includes three cover songs: Queen's 'Dragon Attack,' Scorpions' 'Animal Magnetism' and Iron Maiden's 'Powerslave.' "The whole thing about doing covers successfully is taking the song and making it your own so as people think 'wow, that's different, says Peterson. "And we certainly achieved that with 'Dragon Attack' and 'Animal Magnetism.'
They did a more traditional version of 'Powerslave.' "Yeah, we just selfishly put it on there because I'm a big fan of it!" grins Peterson. "Maiden's version is (the one) and we pretty much kept it at that because it was really fun to play like that!"
In September, Testament will hit the road with Anthrax and Death Angel. The trio of bands did two prior legs beginning last fall, and had so much fun they are doing another run.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Milan Lucic got five stitches -- and the last word.
The Buffalo crowd cheered when Lucic was struck in the face with a puck late in the first period Wednesday night in Boston 5-2 victory over the reeling Sabres 5-2. The rugged left wing left the ice for repairs, then responded by scoring 40 seconds into the second period.
''When you get hit in the face like that, it's never a good feeling,'' said Lucic, who had two goals and an assist. ''It's nice to get one when the crowd's cheering when you get hit in the face. It's nice to stick it to them that way.''
Torey Krug also scored twice, and Dougie Hamilton added his second goal of the season. The Bruins are 6-2 overall and have won their first four road games for the first time since 2010.
Nikita Zadorov and Cody Hodgson scored for Buffalo. At 1-9-1, the Sabres are off to their worst start in franchise history. They are winless in their first seven home games.
It was another hit to the head that earned the ire of the Bruins as Boston left wing Loui Eriksson had to be helped from the ice after a late hit from Sabres enforcer John Scott in the third period.
Scott then fought Adam McQuaid and was given a match penalty.
''He's out there for two reasons and that's either to fight or hurt, so he did his job tonight,'' Bruins coach Claude Julien said.
Julien did not have an update on Eriksson, who did not return to the game.
By the time Krug netted the second of his two third-period goals, the fans launched into what have become regular ''Fire Darcy! Fire Darcy!'' chants in reference to Sabres general manager Darcy Regier.
''We were starting to come around,'' said Sabres goalie Ryan Miller, who made 29 saves. ''We got some life off those goals in the second period. For the most part we cleaned some stuff up. Our transition to defense cost us two but other than that we're in a hockey game.''
Chad Johnson made 14 saves for Boston to earn the win.
Boston opened the scoring when Jarome Iginla's wrist shot deflected off Lucic and through Miller's legs.
The Bruins doubled their lead 40 seconds into the second on Lucic's team-leading fifth goal. Iginla fired a pass from the right boards to Lucic and he tapped the puck in before crashing into the boards behind Miller.
Buffalo's first goal came from its struggling power play, which improved to 4 for 38 when Cody Hodgson scored 8:21 into the second period. The Sabres only managed two shots in the third period and were outshot 34-16 overall.
''They've got a strong team from their `D' all the way up to their forwards and we didn't match them,'' Sabres co-captain Steve Ott said.
Zadorov's first NHL goal, in just his second NHL game, brought the Sabres within one with 4:50 to play in the second period. Zadorov moved on his backhand around Bruins center before beating Johnson to the left side.
''It feels good for my first NHL goal, first pro goal of my life,'' Zadorov said. ''I'm really happy now.''
Zadorov is the second-youngest player to score a goal for the Sabres, at 18 years, 190 days. Pierre Turgeon was 18 years, 54 days when he scored for Buffalo in 1987.
First-round pick Rasmus Ristolainen was among Buffalo's scratches, as was Patrick Kaleta who served the sixth game of his 10-game suspension. ... Boston returns home for two games in three nights, beginning with San Jose on Thursday... The Sabres next home game is Monday night when Dallas' Lindy Ruff will coach his first game in Buffalo since being fired in February after 15 years with the team.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA), which has been deemed Obamacare, will be going into full effect in 2014 and open enrollment begins today.
-The Affordable Care Act (ACA), which has been deemed Obamacare, will be going into full effect in 2014 and open enrollment begins today.
The open enrollment period will run until March 31, 2014. This will allow individuals who don't have health insurance, to "shop for and compare options for affordable coverage" on a new marketplace established by federal law.
The ACA "guarantees that more Americans will be able to afford health coverage by creating consumer protections and providing financial assistance to help people purchase coverage."
There are many protections already in existence with job-based coverage, but there will be new ones available for people who have to "purchase insurance on their own in the individual market." They are meant to ensure that consumers "have access to fairer, more comprehensive, and more affordable health coverage."
The website http://pennbpc.org/ACA talks about how the ACA will affect Pennsylvanians. It says that approximately 896,000 will be able to receive financial help for health insurance.
Under the ACA pre-existing conditions will be covered. This will help 5,489,000 Pennsylvanians who have pre-existing conditions "no longer be turned down or charged for more coverage."
The website also says that around "43 percent" of uninsured Pennsylvanians are between the ages of 18 and 34. It adds that young adults are the group "most likely to be uninsured" because they are "more likely to be unemployed or to earn low wages" that make health coverage unaffordable. This is also the group that will make up "more than one-third" of Pennsylvanians who will be eligible for tax credits, approximately 323,000 young adults.
With young adults earning lower wages, they will also receive "larger premium tax credits than their older counterparts, who generally earn higher wages." The site also states that those with the greatest need will get the most help.
You can call (800) 318-2596 to enroll or visit healthcare.gov.
"It's a federal facilitated marketplace," said Anthony Matrisciano, corporate communications officer for Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania. "If you enroll by December 15 coverage will go into effect January 1. If you enroll between December 15 and 31 coverage will start February 1 and so on."
However, he said that you must sign up between today and March 31, 2014.
The website will allow consumers to compare plans as well.
"When you login and enter your information you will see plans you are eligible for," Matrisciano stated.
He also said there are different medal levels, silver, bronze, gold and platinum. Silver includes lower premiums, but higher out of pocket expenses whereas platinum includes higher premiums, but lower expenses.
"If you are eligible for Medicaid you will be directed to the plans," he said. "Everything will be available."
Matrisciano added that "nothing will really change" with Medicare.
"They have their own open enrollment and won't need to go through the marketplace," he said.
The website www.getcoveredamerica.com provides more information about the ACA as well.
Blue Cross also has information on their website about the plans they will be offering.

Angle Pair Nitty Gritty
I like the activities I've seen where sometimes the answer is "none" and sometimes there's more than one answer, and sometimes the answers are repeated in different questions. I've tried to incorporate that style into these problems. I think it worked pretty well.
I'm also giving them a quiz on 6 types of angle pairs for the next grading period. I told them they have to identify each angle pair correctly, and spelled correctly, and no abbreviations, and no doctor handwriting, and in a timed manner. If they miss ANY, they get a 0%, and they have as many tries in the next 6 weeks to get it 100% correct. I likened it to recognizing the letters of the alphabet. It sure would be a shame if they couldn't and/or it took them a long time to process the information. I restated the fact that geometry (math) is like a foreign language, and they have to have fluency with all the words.
In other funny news. A student whose grade is suffering and who came in for tutoring today and was actually grasping things said, "wow, I should really listen more in class because this makes so much sense."

Ackh! What are you doing up so early?? Isn't it like 3:40 or something there?ReplyDelete
I use the drawing tools in Microsoft Word. I use the line, circle (reduced and filled) and the weird line thing where you can make connected segments, and they have a parallelogram picture you can expand and rotate and such.
Yay for memory tools and processes.
Hmmm, I guess different books must call them different names. The books I've seen call them same-side interior.ReplyDelete
I am using this worksheet right now and I think it is really helping my students see that things aren't always congruent. Even though I am through the chapter in the book that addresses this content, I am going back and having the students take a quiz on it next week. I like the idea of having to retake it, although I'm not sure how it would fly with my department if I did the 0% if they get any wrong.ReplyDelete
This may be an odd question, but is there any way you could email me the word doc so that I could change "same-side int." to "consecutive int." since that is what our book calls it and our state test?
ER: if you download it (click on the "this activity", then I believe it's just a file that you can change at will. Is that not working for you? Let me know, and I can direct e-mail it to you.ReplyDelete

The band play at Boston's Paradise Rock Club Friday night. Headlining shows at mid-sized clubs across the country are proof that Greensky's strategy for building a fanbase – the old-fashioned way, show by show – is paying off.
Progressive bluegrass always has its hot young guns, so it's tempting to toast Greensky Bluegrass – the highly-engaging Kalamazoo, Mich., string quintet – as being ready for its close-up.
That may be true, but it also misses the point that Greensky, now into its second decade as a band, is reaping the rewards of a slow climb, rather than a fast rise.
"It's interesting because sometimes people ask what it's like to be totally blowing up right now," said Paul Hoffman, Greensky's mandolinist. "But I feel like those people have missed what's really been a gradual incline. There was never one big moment that told us we'd gained entry into the yacht club or something. We go out and play, and return again. Every time we return to a town, Boston or otherwise, it's been a little bit better."
An expansive early 2014 tour deposits the band – Hoffman, dobro player Anders Beck, banjoist Michael Arlen Bont, guitarist Dave Bruzza and upright bassist Mike Devol – at Boston's Paradise Rock Club Friday night. They may be looking ahead to a new album, but perhaps more importantly, headlining shows at mid-sized clubs across the country are proof that Greensky's strategy for building a fanbase – the old-fashioned way, show by show – is paying off.
"We're sort of several genres, so we can go to a bluegrass festival or a jamband festival or any place really and pick up fans," Hoffman said. "We seem to earn our fans one at a time. But we feel like once we've gained a fan, we've got him or her. That longevity, little by little, has been good for us."
Formed in 2000, Greensky gained good notices in the ensuing years, changed its lineup a bit, and finally broke out in 2006, when it won the famous Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Competition.
Progressive bluegrass, sometimes called "newgrass," was a trend that over the last 25 or so years became a genre unto its own – bluegrass with elements of jazz and rock and in most cases, a significant predilection toward jamband-style improvisation. Greensky wears it proudly, applying dazzling musicianship to a repertoire that includes classic bluegrass, twangy reworkings of rock and pop covers, and originals that lay claim to several styles without quite leaving traditional string-band music.
It's released several albums, most recently 2011's acclaimed "Handguns," whose long-awaited follow-up will finally arrive this year, Hoffman says.
"Hopefully we're in the final stretch of getting out there and announcing a release date," he said. "We're certainly ready to get it out there, but in the past year we've gotten a lot of opportunities around the release of a record like this that just weren't available to us in the past."
"It doesn't strongly go in a new direction or anything, but in my mind, it's a little bit better and more developed than what we've done before – it's constructed more intentionally," he explained. "The first time we made a record, we just kind of pulled it off, you know? Now we go into the studio with great intentions and spend a lot of time getting to what we want with it."
Greensky Bluegrass has played much of the new album's material live but still has several not-yet-heard tunes in the hopper. The band loves to record, Hoffman said, which puts it in marked contrast to many jam-scene bands that cut albums as chores or as excuses to have new product available while on tour.
"I would never want to do one without the other," Hoffmans said. "I think they're different art forms. Maybe I appreciate the studio art form so much because I'm a songwriter, but we see the studio as a responsibility to capture a song to the truest of its potential.
"That said, the studio has its live element, too: we capture the song, and if we were to go back in the studio and record again, it'd sound different. But we like to commit to it. We're not sitting around with Autotune and bunch of creative mumbo-jumbo, but we're arriving at recordings that reflect what we picked when choosing against lots of options for how something could sound."

I was told by my parents (both deceased now) years ago that I am a g-g-g-g-grandaughter of Sitting Bull. My mom & grandmother were both born in North Dakota....my Grandmother was born in 1896 and my mother in 1930. My grandmother was 1/2 Sioux Indian. The only information I have found is hand-written notes from my parents that Helen Lorraine Bergie's (my grandmother) parents names were Alec Bergie and Caroline Little Thumb. My search over the last year or so has exhausted me. I would like to know if anyone has any information relating to them or if there's an easy to read family tree from Sitting Bull down to current generation of descendants.
My grandmother Helen Lorraine Bergie was the daughter of Alec Bergie and Caroline Little Thumb. Please let me know if you have ideas.

The striker made the move from the Emirates Stadium to Old Trafford for £24 million in the summer, shunning Roberto Mancini, who had reportedly made him Manchester City's priority signing.
But despite the striker finding lethal form so far this season, Kompany does not believe that the nine-point gap at the top of the table is solely down to the transfer of the goal-machine.
"United hit the jackpot with Van Persie," Kompany told the Daily Mail. "But you can't think 'What if' about Van Persie. I am not sitting here thinking, 'What if we had signed Lionel Messi' either.
|Man City are 11/2 with BetVictor to win the Premier League this season
Although his club missed out on the signing of Van Persie, the Manchester City captain believes the team's performances have improved in the League, even though they have scored 17 goals fewer than last season after 25 games.
"I think we have improved in the League," he continued. "Last year we had 'wow' results like beating United 6-1 and Tottenham 5-1. This time we haven't had as many stand-out performances but we have been better overall.
"This season we haven't always shown that we are the best. We have to accept that. But we still have 13 games left and every one we play is potentially one of those great performances that changes everything."
Manchester City hope to close the gap to six points when they face Southampton at 17:30 on Saturday, with the current league leaders hosting Everton on Sunday afternoon.

Donald W. Dugan
71, of Troy
Mr. Donald Wayne Dugan, 71, of Troy, MO, passed away on Wednesday, November 14, 2012, at his residence. He was born on September 7, 1941, in Hannibal, to Charles and Lois (Renner) Dugan. Don was the oldest of eight children. He met the love of his life, Lisa Craig, and the rest is history. They were married on August 7, 1966, in Hannibal. The couple later moved to St. Louis as Don was working for General Motors. He had been a member of UAW #2250. The Dugans moved to Troy in 1971. They purchased the first house they looked at. Together they raised their daughter, Danielle and their son, Tim. When Tim was in grade school and middle school, he began playing soccer. His father raised Quarter horses for many years until he decided to build a soccer field in the Fall of '90. The high school team began playing on that field during the Fall of '91. Since that time, the soccer field has had continuous use by many clubs. Don enjoyed cutting the grass and took great pride in the soccer field. Through the years, Don and Lisa were fortunate to be able to travel to many of the state parks in the U.S. and also traveled abroad. Being members of the First Baptist Church in Troy was very important to Don and his family. Don was a good provider for his family. He will be greatly missed and long remembered by all those who knew and loved him.
Surviving are his beloved wife of 46 years, Lisa Dugan of Troy; his daughter, Danielle and husband Richard Gerhard of St. Peters, his son, Tim and wife, Deborah Dugan of Troy; his adoring grandchildren: Ryan and Erin.

By now you've hopefully watched the brand new trailer for Martin Scorsese's Wolf of Wall Street, which arrived this morning and somehow managed to increase the hype around Kanye West's album even more. If you didn't catch it, though, here's one more chance:
Surely you've noticed that there's an insanely high number of big, hilarious moments that are just dying to be animated, from Leonardo DiCaprio's many wild facial expressions to Matthew McConaughey being himself to Jonah Hill attempting (gulp) to eat a goldfish. Because this is the Internet, we are of course going to oblige. It's GIF recap time, everybody!
DiCaprio enters a room like a titan of industry, and why not? He's made $49 million and he's only 26.
Just look at that face. This is a guy who knows what he's worth.
Then again, he could really stand to value a complete breakfast-- and what's undoubtedly expensive glassware-- a little more.
Oh hey, it's Matthew McConaughey! And just because Leonardo DiCaprio is the star of the show, don't think for a minute that McConaughey's not going to make the most of every single moment he's on screen.
DiCaprio has spent a lot of time growing up on screen in the last 15 years, and yet, it's incredible to see him chewing on his fist like a teenager in heat. He was too serious for that even way back in Romeo + Juliet.
Make it rain! This is basically a metaphorical re-enactment of the end of Titanic.
I would like to think that tossing a dwarf wearing a crash helmet into a dartboard is no longer a common practice on Wall Street, but seriously, who ever trusts those sharks to do the right thing?

Allen Lessels on Motor Sports: Sprint Cup changes sit well with NHMS GM GappensBy ALLEN LESSELS
May 10. 2014 10:09PM
Jerry Gappens likes the new-look NASCAR.
The auto racing series instituted changes to its qualifying system as well as the way it selects teams for the Chase to the Sprint Cup Championship shortly before the 2014 campaign began with the Daytona 500 in late February.
The early returns are promising.
"Everything I've seen so far about 2014 has been very successful," said Gappens, the general manager of New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon. "The changes NASCAR and (president) Brian France made, I think, have done all the things they hoped they'd do."
The field for the Chase has expanded to 16 drivers and the focus has squarely shifted from points to wins. The 16 spots in the Chase go to racers who have won at least one of the 26 races in the regular season, as long as they are in the top 30 in points.
The Washington Capitals, the NHL team that drafted him last year, and Boston College, the team for whom he'll begin playing later this year, wrapped up their seasons about a month ago.
Going into Saturday night's race at Kansas, eight different drivers had won a race through the first 10 races of the season. Jeff Gordon made it nine with Saturday's win.
Joey Logano and Kevin Harvick have for all intents locked up Chase spots with two wins apiece and Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Carl Edwards, Brad Keselowski, Denny Hamlin and Kurt Busch are in good shape with a win each.
The Chase has changed, too. Four drivers will be eliminated from the competition after the first three Chase races, four more after the next three races and four more after the next three. That will leave four racers to compete for the title in the season-ending race at Homestead on Nov. 16.
Qualifying is now done in an elimination-style, group format, as opposed to cars going out for a solo run around the track.
At one-mile tracks such as NHMS, the drivers go out for two qualifying sessions. After the first, 30-minute go-round, the top 12 come back for 10 more minutes.
"The Friday qualifying has been a huge success," Gappens said. "The television ratings are way up and ticket sales are up. Our advance sales for Friday are triple where they were last year."
The first of two Sprint Cup weekends at the track this season is two months from this weekend: the Camping World RV Sales 301 is July 13.
Friday's packed schedule at NHMS includes a NASCAR Modified Shootout, Sprint Cup qualifying and the Granite State 100 K&N Pro Series East 100 race.
The New Hampshire 100 Whelen Modified Tour race and the New England 200 Nationwide race are on Saturday.
The Osram Sylvania 300, the highlight of the speedway's second Sprint Cup weekend, is Sept. 21 and is once again the second race in the 10-event Chase to the Sprint Cup.
- - - - - - - -
A couple of other major, high-profile and contrasting events return to opposite ends of the state over the last two weekends in June. The National Hot Rod Association Mello Yello New England Nationals, featuring John Force and his family of dragsters, are back at New England Dragway in Epping from June 19-22.
Last year, in the inaugural NHRA event at the dragstrip, Courtney Force held off her father in the finals to win the Funny Car championship.
The Subaru Mount Washington Hill Climb will be contested up the MountWashington Auto Road. The Sports Car Club of New Hampshire is helping put on the event and it's part of the 2014 Rally America national championship.David Higgins of the Isle of Man plans to return and take a shot at the record he set of six minutes and just under 12 seconds - 6:11.54 to be precise - on the 7.6-mile course in 2011, the last time the Hillclimb was held.
- - - - - - - - -
Granite State drivers hold down two of the top three spots in the American Canadian Tour standings through the first two races in the series.
Two-time defending champion Wayne Helliwell of Dover is first and Joey Polewarczyk of Hudson is third. Jimmy Hebert of Vermont is sandwiched between them.
Helliwell and Polewarczyk are the only two drivers who have finished in the top five in both races. Helliwell was third in the season opening Governor's Cup event at Lee on April 13 and won the Merchants Bank 150 at Thunder Road in Vermont on April 27.
Polewarczyk was third and fourth in the two events.
The next race in the series is at Airborne Speedway in Plattsburgh, N.Y., next Saturday, May 17.
The only New Hampshire race that counts in the points standings is at White Mountain Motorsports Park in No. Woodstock on June 21. The series will be at New Hampshire Motor Speedway for the Bond Auto ACT Invitational on Sept. 20.
- - - - - - - - -
Hampstead's Andy Seuss leads the Whelen Southern Modified Tour standings through the first four races of the season. Seuss has two wins and owns a five-point lead over George Brunnhoelzl III.
The two wins give Seuss a Southern Modified career total of 17, which is second-best in the series.
The Southern Modifieds are on their spring break now and get back to racing on July 4. The series will be at NHMS for that Modified Shootout on July 11.

Leif Daniel NelinChief, Professor | Columbus, Ohio
Biography :
Dr. Nelin is the Division Chief of Neonatology at Nationwide Children's Hospital and a Professor of Pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. Clinically, Dr. Nelin is particularly interested in respiratory diseases, specifically in how pulmonary blood flow affects newborn respiratory diseases. Thus, persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn(PPHN) is one of his primary clinical interests. This has lead to his research interest in nitric oxide (NO), a potent vasodilator whose production is decreased in patients with PPHN. Utilizing cell culture techniques, isolated perfused lungs and animal preparations.
Dr. Nelin studies the mechanisms that determine biological availability of the amino acid L-arginine on the ability of the lungs to produce NO and thereby regulate blood flow. The ultimate goal of this research is to understand the pathophysiology of PPHN and to develop new and specific therapies for the treatment of lung diseases that are characterized by alterations in NO production. A second area of research interest is the study of the developmental toxicology of inhaled NO.

More than three decades before superstorm Sandy, a state law and a series of legislative reports began warning New York politicians to prepare for a storm of historic proportions, spelling out scenarios eerily similar to the actual events: a towering storm surge, overwhelming flooding, swamped subway lines and widespread power outages. The Rockaway peninsula was deemed among the �most at risk.�
But most of the warnings and a requirement in a 1978 law to create a regularly updated plan for the restoration of �vital services� after a storm went mostly unheeded, either because of tight budgets or the lack of political will to prepare for a hypothetical storm that may never hit.
Some of the thorniest problems after Sandy, including a gasoline shortage, the lack of temporary housing and the flooding of commuter tunnels, ended up being dealt with largely on the fly.
�I don�t know that anyone believed,� acknowledged Gov. Andrew Cuomo last week. �We had never seen a storm like this. So it is very hard to anticipate something that you have never experienced.�
Asked how well prepared state officials were for Sandy, Cuomo said, �not well enough.�
It was not as if the legislative actions over the years were subtle. They all had a common, emphatic theme: Act immediately before it is too late.
The 1978 executive law required a standing state Disaster Preparedness Commission to meet at least twice a year to create and update disaster plans. It mandated the state to address temporary housing needs after a disaster, create a detailed plan to restore services, maintain sewage treatment, prevent fires, assure generators �sufficient to supply� nursing homes and other health facilities, and �protect and assure uninterrupted delivery of services, medicines, water, food, energy and fuel.�
Reports in 2005, 2006 and 2010 added urgency. �It�s not a question of whether a strong hurricane will hit New York City,� the 2006 Assembly report warned. �It�s just a question of when.�
A 2010 task force report to the Legislature concluded: �The combination of rising sea level, continuing climate change and more development in high-risk areas has raised the level of New York�s vulnerability to coast storms. The challenge is real, and sea level rise will progress regardless of New York�s response.�
The Disaster Preparedness Commission met biannually, but there are gaps in which there is no record of a meeting. However, some administrations, including Cuomo�s, convened many of the same agency heads to discuss emergency management. But even under Cuomo, who has taken a much greater interest in emergency management after three violent storms in his first two years in office, there are still three vacancies on the commission.
Richard Brodsky, a former New York Democratic assemblyman who was chairman of the committee that created the 2006 report, credits administrations with making some improvements to the plan in recent years, such as requiring a specific plan to protect and evacuate the infirmed and to save pets.
�But on two issues related to Sandy � prevention and recovery � they did almost nothing,� Brodsky said. �If Goldman Sachs was smart enough to sandbag its building, why wasn�t the MTA smart enough to sandbag the Battery Tunnel?�
Among the crises Cuomo and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg faced on a daily basis during Sandy were the shortage of temporary housing, which continues, the long disruption of electricity and gasoline, generators in health care facilities swamped by floodwaters, restoring power from swamped electrical infrastructure and repairing commuter rail lines.
�What you�ve got here is a great number of consequences that were foreseeable, but unforeseen,� Brodsky said. �Prevention is politically less sexy than disaster response.�

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A California man behind an anti-Muslim film that inflamed parts of the Middle East has denied he violated his probation for a 2010 bank fraud conviction.
U.S District Judge Christina Snyder said Wednesday an evidentiary hearing will be held on Nov. 9 for 55-year-old Mark Basseley Youssef.
Prosecutors allege Youssef had eight probation violations, including lying to his probation officer and using aliases. Another judge last month found Youssef was a flight risk and ordered him jailed without bond.
Federal authorities say Youssef, who also went by the name of Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, was behind the film "Innocence of Muslims." The movie prompted widespread violence in the Middle East, killing dozens.

WORCESTER — Democrat Daniel Donahue's campaign claimed victory Tuesday night in the 26-year-old former mayoral staffer's bid for state representative in the 16th Worcester District.
In unofficial results with all 11 precincts reporting, Mr. Donahue garnered 1,606 votes, 63.38 percent, to his Republican opponent, Carol Claros' 910 votes, 35.91 percent.
A total of 2,534 votes were cast, about 12 percent of the district's nearly 21,500 registered voters.
Former District 3 City Councilor Paul Clancy announced just after 8 p.m. at Mr. Donahue's post-election party at City Lights Bar & Pub that Mr. Donahue defeated Ms. Claros by about 700 votes.
"Now it's just the beginning," Mr. Donahue told the crowd as he arrived to celebrate his victory. "Now the real work starts."
Mr. Donahue said that with the support of the neighborhoods and the people of the district, he will be a strong advocate. He said knocking on doors wasn't just part of the campaign.
"How can we build a better district?" he asked. "I'm going to continue those conversations at the doors, I'm going to continue talking with people, I'm going to continue working with everyone in this room, to make sure this district is the best district we can find."
After the results were announced, Ms. Claros thanked her supporters at her party at Nuovo on Shrewsbury Street, especially her "No. 1 door knocker," her 9-year-old daughter, Giselle.
"We put up a good fight," she said. The crowd cheered loudly when she declared, "This is not the last time you'll see me running."
Everyone in the room looked optimistically toward the 30-year-old single mother's next run.
"She knocked (on doors) from the day she announced until this morning," said Len Diana of Grafton, who said that voters react to her as an authentic person who does not skirt difficult questions.
Her campaign manager, Jim Knowlton, said he has already told the candidate that he would stand with her again for whichever office she decides to run for.
But while Mr. Knowlton said that Ms. Claros is considering a run for City Council or School Committee, state Rep. Ryan C. Fattman, R-Sutton, she he thinks she can go further.
"I think she's a great candidate," he said. "She should consider running for state Senate."
But Tuesday night's political stage belonged to Mr. Donahue, who campaigned as a young but experienced politician who would be able to advocate for ambitious projects in the district, including sewerage upgrades along the Route 20 corridor and development along Quinsigamond Avenue.
He quickly collected the endorsement of much of the local Democratic political establishment, and came out on top of a five-way primary battle last month. He will step into the unexpired term of Democrat John P. Fresolo, who resigned earlier this summer amid a House ethics investigation.
Ms. Claros' campaign platform was a mix of appealing to residents' frustration with taxes and advocating for small business development. She pledged to be a different kind of state representative, one who could casually go back and forth between Spanish and English, who wouldn't take per diem payments, and who railed against an increase in the gas tax. A state prison nurse, she continued to work throughout her campaign, and had hoped voters would identify with her working-class roots.
Ms. Claros' brother, Richard, was also at the event and said he was proud of his sister for running.
He gave her credit for "going against the grain" rather than with the crowd.
Sheriff Lewis G. Evangelidis, who supported Ms. Claros throughout the campaign, said that he admires her for running in such a difficult district.
"She was willing to take the challenge with a 9-to-1 Democratic majority," he said. "Boy, did she put up a fight."
Mr. Donahue said he had worked hard right until the end, and said the race was about local challenges and issues. Ms. Claros lost all 11 precincts, including her own, Ward 5, Precinct 2, where she polled 142 votes to Mr. Donahue's 209.
"It's not about partisan politics," he said. "It's about representing the district on Beacon Hill, but it's also about looking at our own neighborhoods."
The 16th Worcester District includes Grafton Hill, Vernon Hill, College Hill, the Massasoit Road area, Green Island, and Quinsigamond Village.

A 46-year-old homeless man robbed Webster Bank in Taunton over the weekend using a note, police said.
Lawrence Pedro was arrested and charged with armed robbery on Saturday afternoon after Taunton police said he walked into the Webster Bank on Washington Street and passed a threatening note to an employee.
Pedro got away with a bag of money from the bank, but a dye pack that was in the bag exploded on him. He was quickly caught by officers responding to the robbery, police said.
"He walked out the dye pack went off," said Taunton police Sgt. Richard Carreiro. "We found him in the area. And he matched the description and was subsequently arrested."
Taunton police said that Pedro approached a woman working behind the counter at the bank, handed her a note stating that he had a gun and warned her not to press an alarm. But the woman hit the alarm anyway, loaded the bag with money with a dye pack and handed it over to Pedro, police said.
"(The note) mentioned that he had a gun and not to hit any alarms because her life wasn't worth it," a police report said.
Witnesses saw Pedro running across the street from the bank into the Mill River Plaza and around the building. Police said they found the bag of money with the exploded dye pack in the parking lot there.
Taunton police said they spotted Pedro soon after in the parking lot, smelling of alcohol with a bottle of rum. During his arrest and booking, police said Pedro mostly responded, "I don't remember."
No weapon was found on Pedro, the police report said.
Pedro was arraigned in Taunton District Court on Monday, where Judge Paul McCallum set bail at $10,000, citing the serious nature of the allegations, his prior record, his failure to appear in court previously and an ongoing case where he was charged with operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs last October.
A pretrial hearing is scheduled for August 1.

DETROIT – Quick update from Detroit Red Wings practice at Joe Louis Arena Friday afternoon.
Wings coach Mike Babcock answer to fixing his team's struggling offense is by splitting up Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg.
"It's not going," Babcock said after practice. "I told them and you guys I wasn't going to split them up and 11 games in I'm splitting them up. It wasn't by plan and not necessarily what I wanted to do, but we need to."
Datsyuk will center a line with Daniel Alfredsson and Todd Bertuzzi, while Zetterberg will center Johan Franzen and Tomas Tatar.
"We think we need more going," Babcock said. "It's too easy to shut down one or two guys. You need a team going. Right now we need Alfie and we need Mule and a whole bunch of guys to score. We haven't gotten that much with playing with those guys so maybe if we get them playing with those guys then we get four guys scoring and the other guys contributing more on a regular basis and then we become a better hockey team. That's the plan."
The Wings have scored just three goals over their last three games.
"Could be a record, what was it 10 games," Zetterberg joked about how long he was able to stick alongside Datsyuk to start the season. "I think Babs was pretty up front about it, we will be playing together until he needs to switch it up and now it's time. I'm pretty sure we'll play together here at some point in time. But when we've been losing games like we have, haven't been scoring much, we have to try something different."
The two will remain on the top power play unit.
Zetterberg leads the team with 12 points, followed by Datsyuk with 11 and Alfredsson with nine. The fourth leading scoring is a defenseman, Niklas Kronwall (seven points).
"I think it's sometimes you have to switch it up a little bit to hopefully get some more offense going," Zetterberg said. "I've played with Mule many times. It's going to be fun to play with Tats, too. He's a skilled player and he's got a lot of talent. He hasn't got so many opportunities to play. It's going to be nice to see now when he gets one."
The biggest beneficiary is Tatar.
"We have to generate more offense," Babcock said. "Some guys are given the opportunity because we have to generate some more offense. We need team offense, not individual offense. That comes from forechecking harder, being heavier on the puck in the O-zone, having a better net-front presence, shooting the puck and getting it back. We'd like him to be a part of all those things."
Tatar will be in the lineup a third straight game after sitting out eight of the Wings' first nine contests.
"We need to score more goals," Tatar said. "Hopefully this is going to be the turning point and I can help the first two lines produce.
"This is a big opportunity to play with those guys," Tatar continued. "It's basically like a dream. All those guys are really good players. They're leaders on the team. It's going to be fun and hopefully we can build some chemistry there and score a couple of goals."
Tatar, 22, was the American Hockey League MVP last season, scoring 16 goals to go with five assists in 24 games.
"My job will be to skate, get the pucks for the guys so they can make the plays," Tatar said. "Be aggressive on the puck for those guys so we can stay in the offensive zone, get the puck in the corners for them. They are smart guys and make the plays so I need to get open for them and make more space.
"It's just another game," Tatar added. "I don't want to be shaky. In the end I want to be the winner. That's an important thing for me right now."
Patrick Eaves and Darren Helm won't play Saturday against the New York Rangers.
Helm suffered a minor groin flare up during this two-game conditioning stint in Grand Rapids.
"If that didn't happen I felt that I had a chance for (Saturday), but the groin is feeling better, the back is feeling good," Helm said. "The test in GR went really well and hopefully everything will be good for Canada somewhere."
Jimmy Howard will start in goal.

ALMATY, Kazakhstan (AP) — A magnitude 6.0 earthquake has hit southeastern Kazakhstan, causing apartment buildings to sway in the country's largest city, Almaty.
The U.S. Geological Survey reported that the temblor hit at 22:38 p.m. local time (1638 GMT; 11:38 a.m. EST) Monday and that the epicenter was in a remote mountainous area near the border with Western China and Kyrgyzstan.
The shallow tremors were also felt in the capital of neighboring Kyrgyzstan. No damage had been reported by late Monday.

Their article, "Superhydrophobic Surfaces Generated from Water-Borne Dispersions of Hierarchically Assembled Nanoparticles Coated with a Reversibly Switchable Shell," is also featured in the publication.
Superhydrophobic surfaces repel water. "Water does not spread over the surface, but forms spherical droplets, which run away from it," says Minko. "Many plants, which live in damp conditions like rain forests, have developed a superhydrophobic surface on their leaves-- the so called 'lotus effect.' Scientists mimic the structure of these plants to fabricate superhydrophobic surfaces."
Minko creates superhydrophobic surfaces on any material's surface in one step by spraying on an aqueous suspension of "smart" nanoparticles with no application of toxic organic solvents. The resulting surface repels water in the same manner as lotus leafs. These coatings can be erased simply by washing the surface of the material with a specially prepared acidic aqueous solution.
This technique can be used to make water repellent coatings for paints, cloth, textiles, uniforms, etc.
You can see the photo and read an abstract of the article at http://www.wiley-vch.de/vch/journals/2089/cover/current.html .
Minko's research and expertise in materials science focuses on the areas of smart/responsive polymer materials, smart colloids, nanostructured thin polymer films, formation of nanowires and nanoparticles, adhesion, wetting, adsorption regulations, and single molecule devices.
He received his doctoral degree in organic chemistry from Lviv Polytechnic University and his doctorate of science in macromolecular chemistry from the Institute of Physical Chemistry at the National Academy of Sciences in Ukraine. Minko, a member of the American Chemical Society and the American Physical Society, has 16 patents and more than 120 professional publications.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) -- World sport's highest court has denied Russian cycling team Katusha's urgent request for temporary top-tier status this season.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport says the main appeal hearing against the International Cycling Union "will be scheduled shortly in order for a final decision to be issued as quickly as possible."
Katusha is challenging a UCI license commission ruling to deny the team's application for 2013 World Tour registration.
The 18 World Tour teams get automatic invitations to big races, including the Tour Down Under that kicks off in Australia on Jan. 22.
Katusha's riders include the 2012 rankings leader, Joaquim Rodriguez of Spain.
The team's general manager is Viatcheslav Ekimov, the three-time Olympic champion and a longtime teammate of Lance Armstrong with the U.S. Postal Service team.

John Habib's City Sports: Tourney time nears for JVs, tooJOHN HABIB
May 17. 2013 11:58PM
Eighteen years ago, Trinity High baseball coach Eddie Poisson and one of his players — standout pitcher John Velosky, who would go on to start at Dartmouth College — came up with the idea of a junior varsity tournament.
"John and I talked extensively about giving JV players a taste of what tournament baseball was all about," said Poisson. "The Memorial Day weekend was the best time to run it because the JV regular season was over and it was just before the start of the varsity tournament. I've enjoyed every year, and it makes me happy to know the JV kids benefit from it."
The 18th annual Trinity High Junior Varsity Baseball Tournament will begin next Saturday at Al Lemire Field in Derryfield Park. The eight-team tournament will feature defending champion Goffstown, Manchester Memorial, Manchester Central, Pinkerton Academy of Derry, Merrimack, Salem, Concord and host Trinity.
Poisson said the tournament wouldn't have lasted even three years had it not been for countless volunteers behind the scenes.
"I couldn't do this by myself," the veteran coach said. "To run this tournament, you need to do a lot of things, like getting the teams, preparing the field and having people in place to run the concession stand. It's a lot of work."
In need of umpires, Poisson received help from Tom Fischer and the New Hampshire Baseball Umpires Association.
"This tournament doesn't raise much money, and the money we do raise goes right back into the tournament," Poisson said. "We knew we could never afford to pay the umpires, but Tom approached us and offered to help at no cost. He runs an apprentice program and uses our tournament as a field test for his first-year umpires, who are evaluated behind the plate and on the bases. I owe a lot to Tom and Jim Walsh because they've been with us for almost 20 years. It's been a great relationship."
Game times for next Saturday and Sunday are 9:30 a.m., noon, 2:30 and 5 p.m.
On Monday, May 27, at 10 a.m. the top two teams will compete for the title.
"It's very good baseball, and it's fun to watch the kids who are going to make an impact on the varsity level over the next two years," said Poisson.

CENTRAL boys' soccer coach Chris LaBerge is always preaching to his players about staying focused in the classroom.
"I'm always telling my kids about how important school is and why good grades lead to an opportunity to attend a college or university," said Laberge. "Now I want to back my words up by helping them off to college."
To that end, LaBerge has organized the first Little Green boys' soccer scholarship fundraiser, which takes place today at Next Level Performance on 31 South Commercial St., just down the road from Northeast Delta Dental Stadium. The event will run from 4:30-9 p.m.
The goal is to raise money for scholarships to the graduating senior players from Central who will be attending college this fall.
LaBerge and his three brothers — Rich, Scott and Matt — all played soccer for Central. Chris' son Keegan, a 2012 Division I first-team selection as a junior, plays for the Little Green, who have won three of the last four state titles, including the last two.
"It might not be much, but I want to raise enough money to help the kids pay for something like books pertaining to their college education," Chris LaBerge said of the fundraiser.
Laberge said former players from Memorial, West and Trinity will be in attendance today helping the cause. He also contacted former Little Green coaches Jim Stevenson, Bob Veilleux, Jim Baroody, Jim Shaughnessy, Bob Martel and Ray Juneau, all of whom plan to attend.
"We're going to raffle off Red Sox and Bruins items including signed balls and Red Sox tickets," said Laberge. "We're also going to have a cookout and a bean bag toss tournament. We're reaching out to the public to attend a fun-filled event and to donate whatever they can to a good cause for kids."

HARD TO BELIEVE a year has passed since the untimely death of Dan Duval.
The memory of the late athlete, coach, speaker and mentor continues to live on through charitable events such as the second annual Dan Duval Memorial Golf Tournament, set for Friday, June 28, at the Derryfield Country Club in Manchester.
Proceeds from the tournament will benefit the Dan Duval Charitable Fund. The organizer of the event is Dan's brother, Jeff, who has continued the cause his older brother believed in.
"Danny was a tireless advocate for at-risk kids, as well as adults, with drug or alcohol dependencies," said Jeff. "The mission of the fund is to provide yearly scholarships to at least one student from the five high schools in Manchester. The long-term mission is to provide some financial relief for anyone who may need help with their addiction."
The tournament uses a scramble format, and the registration fee covers a meal, live auction and prizes. To enter, contact Duval at 494-0152 or e-mail him at email@example.com.
Donations can be made by check payable to the Dan Duval Charitable Fund and mailed to 45 Gerard Drive, Manchester 03104.

No. 11 Cincinnati beats UALR 87-53
With a young roster and a freshman point guard, Arkansas-Little
Rock knew it could have a tough time just getting through No. 11
Cincinnati's full-court pressure.
Too often, the Trojans never even made it to midcourt.
The Bearcats set a school record with 23 steals Thursday night
in an 87-53 victory that came down to the Trojans' inability to
hold onto the ball. Coach Steve Shields repeatedly called timeouts
to try to settle his team, without success.
The Trojans fell to 0-8 against Top 25 teams during his 10
seasons at Arkansas-Little Rock.
"I knew coming in we had to have poise and toughness with the
ball," Shields said. "I thought Cincinnati did a good job of
taking us out of what we wanted to do offensively and forced us to
play at a pace we didn't want to play at."
Sean Kilpatrick scored 10 of his 18 points in the second half,
and the unbeaten Bearcats ran away with it by stealing the ball and
heading for a layup or dunk.
"We're proud, but that's expected," Kilpatrick said. "That's
something we have to keep doing every game and continue to get
better at. I'm not sitting here saying I'm satisfied with it. I
appreciate it, but we've got to keep doing it every night."
The Bearcats (8-0) have become one of the nation's top defensive
teams while starting with eight straight wins for the 15th time in
school history. It's the second time in three seasons that they're
Playing with their highest ranking since they were No. 11 at end
of 2003-04, the Bearcats threw the ball away early, prompting coach
Mick Cronin to substitute for all five starters. Cincinnati was
coming off attention-getting wins over Iowa State and Oregon
followed by a 58-56 victory over Alabama on Cashmere Wright's
fadeaway at the buzzer on Saturday.
"We've still got to get better with our offensive execution at
times," Cronin said. "We're careless with the ball, taking
ill-advised shots at times."
Despite their early sloppiness, the Bearcats quickly wore down
the Trojans (7-4), who had a season-high 32 turnovers, 18 in the
opening half alone. Cincinnati's steals topped the previous school
record by three.
The teams combined for 54 field goals and 49 turnovers. Cheikh
Mbodj had 12 points and seven rebounds for Cincinnati, which
finished with four players in double figures. Shaquille Thomas had
the record-setting 21st steal and a dunk with 6:11 to go.
Will Neighbour, Ben Dillard and James White scored 10 apiece for
Arkansas-Little Rock.
The Trojans have started freshman John Gillon at point guard the
last nine games. He struggled against the unrelenting pressure,
turning the ball over eight times. Junior shooting guard Leroy
Isler had seven turnovers.
"We had 32 turnovers, which is unheard of," Shields said. "We
didn't have the poise and toughness that we needed."
The Bearcats could sense the Trojans were getting flustered
during the first half because they couldn't get through the
full-court pressure.
"When they're rattled, it's better for us because they start
turning the ball over," Kilpatrick said. "(You see) their facial
expressions. They can't get it over the half-court mark. Then, most
importantly, it's the coach. If you can look at the coach and he's
really frustrated, that's the last thing you want as a
Playing against a badly overmatched opponent for the first time
in the last four games, the Bearcats lacked focus at the outset,
throwing the ball away five times before the 15:55 mark. Cronin
benched all of his starters. At one point, he yelled at one of his
players on the court: "What don't you understand?"
The lineup change got their attention. Cincinnati had only two
more turnovers the rest of the half while pulling away to a 42-17
lead. The Bearcats extended their pressure defense full-court and
got the Trojans so flustered that they repeatedly threw the ball
away on fast-break chances.
Cincinnati's offense finally got going when JaQuon Parker
returned and hit two 3s – Cincinnati's first of the game – during a
12-point run that built the lead to 25-8.
The Trojans had trouble getting the ball across midcourt in the
closing minutes of the half, fueling another surge. Arkansas-Little
Rock had 18 turnovers and was 8 of 25 from the field in the

Some Updates & New PC Coming!
by, 01-07-2013 at 08:11 PM (669 Views)
Hey guys coming at you with I think my 7th blog entry? Anyways quite a few things to bring up today, but lets get started with a new potential PC. Will probably be starting a PC on Alfred Morris...love watching this guy play, absolute beast. Although I'm a Hawks fan, the man was destroying us the fi[COLOR=#000000][/COLOR]rst half. Love his tough running style, and can't wait to see him and RG3 together in the future, as it was an amazing game! If you guys have anything of him, mainly autos please lmk or check my bucket, which should be in my signature. On to some notes/random stuff:
[I][U][B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#ff0000]Interesting Info:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B][/U][/I][/CENTER]
1. Posted this thread ( will be listed below ) about SCF Vs Blowout, and like I was expecting, most everyone said SCF...but turn to page 4 I believe, and you will see some guy named Haiku or something apparentley stared a famous scam here on SCF. If anyone has any details on him please lmk on that as well. Good have gotten the name wrong. Link below
2. Please check out my You Tube channel! Can't post a link on the blog because I'm on my school laptop, but link should be in my signature. :)
3. Mondays usually suck, but National Championship tonight!!!:love0030: Predicting a Bama win, but closer than most people would think. Going Bama 21-17.
4. Also do you guys think RG3's injury was on Shanahan? I believe it was, pretty obvious in my eyes that Cousins would give them a better shot at a W!
Looks like that's alll for today folks, please keep following my blog, as I now post daily!!!:winking0071:

The victory over Belmont Stakes hero Palace Malice, two-time defending champion Flat Out and Kentucky Derby winner Orb, among others, earned Ron the Greek an all-fees paid trip to the Breeders' Cup Classic in November at Santa Anita Park as part of the Breeders' Cup "Win and You're In" Challenge series.
"There wouldn't have been many horses who would have beaten [Ron the Greek] yesterday," said Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott said the next day. "He might have fired his best shot right there. I'm not [going to be] disappointed if he doesn't fire that one back."
"I put him in position, and when I asked him he took off and was gone," said jockey Jose Lezcano. "He never stopped. It was unbelievable."
Buzz Tenney, assistant to Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey, reported Sunday morning that Orb appeared well following his last-place finish.
Orb, who bobbled at the start of the race, was placed three wide in fifth place for the first six furlongs and then faded.
"Orb seemed to come back fine," Tenney said. "He cooled out fine, and we put him on the van and sent him back to Fair Hill [Md.] last night. Really no excuses we could see."
Runner-up Palace Malice finished 1 ¾ lengths in front of 5-2 favorite Flat Out
"He showed his 3-year-old form was legit," said trainer Todd Pletcher "He ran well against older horses."

In another case of attorneys bullying a web site because of technicalities over trademark and copyright infringement, United Airlines' lawyers have sued a Canadian-based web site, Untied.com. Naturally the official reason was not because of all of the passenger complaints, but over intellectual property and to protect its logo (in case anyone actually cares) from the site's owner, Jeremy Cooperstock.
One of United's complaints is that the company wants to ensure that consumers are not fooled into believing that they are filing official complaints with its customer service department; in other words, the airline gives the impression that it believes passengers are stupid.
It is not easy to be an American-based legacy airline these days. Awful customer service, disgruntled employees, flight attendants who would probably be more cheerful if smoking were allowed on airplanes again and aging fleets–or cramped planes that age you–have long provided an opening for upstart carriers. Southwest Airlines has become both the busiest and most luxurious airline of choice; JetBlue and Virgin America have their devotees, too.
Of course, passengers have to adapt to the changing realities of air travel. Depending on who you read, the airline industry overall has either not made a profit the past 100 years or has barely broken even. Spikes in fuel prices and, of course, the 9/11 attacks have dogged the airlines. As someone who flies often, I view the airlines as a way to get from point A to point B–not to eat, not to be entertained and not to be comfortable. Just make sure you get that coveted window seat, gulp some Benadryl or melatonin and be done with it.
Nevertheless, United and its competitors have long been notorious for subpar customer service and nonchalant employees, and not just from the occasional traveler off to his or her summer vacation. Cooperstock's site, according to the Chicago Tribune, has logged complaints for 15 years, but a site redesign in April caught the airline's attention. As of today, the site is now shuttered.
Whether companies in United's shoes admit it or not, the result of such litigation is it gives the appearance that companies are stifling public discourse or just thin-skinned and petty. Parody web sites such as Untied.com are hardly immune. Earlier this month, a Twitter meme mocking the New York Times, NYTOnit, was briefly suspended until the account's owner, Benjamin Kabak, 86ed an altered version of the Times' "T" logo. After another outcry, Twitter restored the account, and to the relief of the NYT's vapid Vice President of Corporate Communications, Eileen Murphy, the offensive "T" disappeared.
In an era where more people glean their news from the likes of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, disgruntled stakeholders will take to satire and parody to air their grievances. Companies' inside and outside counsels may want to think beyond legal technicalities; and as for folks such as Dr. Cooperstock, take a page from Method. When Clorox sent Method a nasty-gram over a daisy trademark, Method's mocking response was not only brilliant, but forced Clorox to back down. The upshot is never try to beat a company's legal department on its terms; creativity will end up stunning the opposition instead.

Security Slideshow: NIST Cloud Security Guidelines
By Don Reisinger | Posted 02-16-2011
NIST Cloud Security Guidelines
Everything's NegotiableNon-negotiable service agreements -- in which the terms of service are prescribed completely by the cloud provider -- are generally the norm in public cloud computing. NIST recommends negotiated service agreements that address your organization's specific concerns about security and privacy details.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology unveiled a set of guidelines for managing security and privacy issues in cloud computing. While this effort is aimed at organizations operating in the public sector, NIST's guidelines offered up valuable tips for any enterprise CIO considering the use of public cloud computing services. The NIST's Guidelines on Security and Privacy in Public Cloud Computing (SP 800-144) provides an overview of the security and privacy challenges for public cloud computing and presents recommendations that organizations should consider when outsourcing data, applications and infrastructure to a public cloud environment. The agency also has set up a new NIST Cloud Computing Collaboration Web site to enable two-way communication among the cloud community and NIST cloud research working groups. NIST also recently posted A NIST Definition of Cloud Computing (NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-145). NIST scientists are seeking feedback on both documents. Comments regarding the guidelines should be emailed to email@example.com ; comments on the definition document should be E-mailed to email@example.com. Feedback on both documents must be received no later than Feb. 28, 2011. Here are 10 highlights from the NIST cloud computing guidelines:
