The following is based on my notes from the launch, and from the written report itself. I don't address the issues with the report- this is simply a distilled version of what I felt the main points were. I think there is a lot here that we can use, even if the report felt like it had been rushed at the end. Another week of work on it may well have seen it much better received, it's not clear why the deadline was brought forward (this is mentioned in the report) but it seems like it was a mistake.

The time for excuses is rapidly coming to an end for Terenure 3rds as the team again failed to live up to it's potential in this cup encounter. Ballymount have made a poor start to their season a division below us so it was always going to be important to start well and put them under pressure early. Unfortunately the game began in exactly the opposite manner and within two minutes

Sportslink Ailesbury 3rds 1 - 1 Terenure FC 3rds
A really tough test out in Sportslink and after a good first half we were eventually fairly glad to leave with a point. With a strong wind behind and continuing our high tempo game from the weekend we had most of the pressure in the first half. Sportslink did go close in the first minute but otherwise didnt threaten until they opened the scoring against the run of play. The ball

We travelled to Walkinstown with a strong squad and high expectations and thankfully didnt disappoint. From the start we took the game to Walkinstown, we played at a good tempo and moved the ball quickly on the slick surface. The midfield pairing of Kavo and Aido are developing a good understanding and took a hold of the game early on. After some promising early play a great strike
Life in the early stages of the transition to coach/player has certainly been interesting. Won one, drawn one and lost one to date in pre-season. The loss against a very talented Terenure FC under-19 team will have taught us as much, if not more than, the other results. We're putting together a bigger and hopefully better squad for this season, so there has been plenty of experimentation with players and shape in the games so far. As the new management duo and yours truly build up a better knowledge

Terenure FC pre-season has been a busy one to date with good numbers training and a few pre-season friendlies already played. The club has high expectations for all of the senior sides this season and the early signs are very promising. Training will continue in Bushy Park on Tuesday and Thursday for the coming weeks, be ready to start at 7pm if you want to drop down. You can't really miss the Terenure training group as there is around 60 fellas training together. New faces are always welcome. I've
Hard to believe it's nearly that time of the year again when we drag our aging bodies back to Bushy Park for pre-season training. Thursday 11 July at 7pm is the date and time to remember. Terenure FC looks likely to have four senior men's teams (3 Saturday, 1 Sunday) and an over 35's side once again, so all skill levels are catered for if you are interested in coming down. The club attracts players from all over Dublin and beyond so don't be shy in coming along, last season there was representatives

Wednesday evening drew down the final curtain on what turned out to be a long old season to forget for Terenure FC 3rds. The game proved to be a fitting finale; a good first half, composed, hard-working and effective, followed by a second half collapse and defeat. We actually started this game with more of our regular team than the meeting with the same opposition from the previous week and that seemed to help to

Borussia Dortmund ousts Real Madrid, reaches Champions League final
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
MADRID – Borussia Dortmund advanced to the Champions League final for the first time since 1997, withstanding a late rally by Real Madrid to win their semifinal on 4-3 aggregate following a 2-0 loss Tuesday night.
Karim Benzema scored in the 83rd minute and Sergio Ramos in the 88th, putting Real Madrid in position to advance with one more goal. English referee Howard Webb called for five minutes of stoppage time, and Borussia Dortmund hung on to set up the possibility of the first all-German final in soccer's top club competition.
Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich has a four-goal advantage on Barcelona ahead of Wednesday's game. The Champions League final is May 25 at London's Wembley Stadium.
Dortmund reached the final for the first time since 1997, when it beat Juventus 3-1 at Munich's Olympic Stadium for its only European title.
Madrid, which has not reached the final since winning its record ninth title in 2002, was eliminated in the semifinals for the third straight year. Trailing Barcelona by 11 points in the Spanish League with five games left, Real's only realistic hope for a title this season is when it hosts Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey final on May 17.
Real coach Jose Mourinho is expected to leave after his third season, perhaps to return to Chelsea in England's Premier League.
No team has overcome a three-goal deficit from the first leg in a Champions League knockout stage matchup since Deportivo La Coruna beat AC Milan 4-0 in the 2003-04 quarterfinals for a 5-4 aggregate win.

Amini Silatolu a Carolina Panther
Zod posted a article in Carolina PanthersCasual Carolina Panthers fans are waking up this morning and yet again having a hard time pronouncing the name of the newest Carolina Panther. Amini Silatolu? Chances are you have not heard that name on sports center. Last season, if you are being honest, the Panthers offensive line was not one of the strengths of the Panthers. Their talented running backs helped to hide this fact by masking sub par offensive line blocking with positive runs. Since then the Panthers have lost their most talented guard in Tavelle Wharton, leaving the line even less likely to open up gaping holes for Deangelo Williams to sprint through. With their second round selection the Panthers addressed the loss of Travelle Wharton by replacing him with who some consider to have first round talent - Amini Silatolu. Don Banks of Sports Illustrated had San Fran taking Amini with the 30th pick of the first round. Silatolu has an important trait that some could say the Panthers Offensive Line could use an injection of... nastiness. Amini caught the eyes of the Panthers front office with his ability to finish off defenders. Granted, these defenders were from smaller schools, but at six foot three and three hundred and eleven pounds, the Panthers are confident his transition to the pro game will be a smooth one. While at Midwestern State, Amini was remarkable. At left tackkle, he had an overall blocking grade of 94.7 percent, the only offensive lineman in the draft with over 90 percent for his college career. He also posted 97 knockdowns. "The one thing that stands out is his nasty temperament. When you're playing at a certain level like that you should dominate — and he did dominate the competition. So you feel like going to the next level he's going to be very, very competitive." - Ron Rivera "When you put on the tape of him he puts a lot of people on the ground. You see the athleticism and the physical play." - Marty Hurney It isn't a flashy pick. Offensive Guard is not a pick that will stir up the fan base. However, you can bet your sweet ass Deangelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart toasted this pick Friday evening. Here is to hoping Amini has plenty of ire in his belly for the 2012 season. Maybe now the Panthers will actually run the ball on 3rd and 1.

This is a slick con, all flash and no substance. Now You See Me seems awfully sure of itself, with self-important, intrusive music, sweeping tracking shots and actors chewing up the scenery.
Read Full Review
It's mostly smoke and mirrors. After Freeman's snooze became a YouTube fixture, the actor jokingly dismissed the nap, saying he was using "Google eyelids" to check his Facebook account. You may find yourself attempting the same feat, because Now has little up its sleeve.
A superficially diverting but substance-free concoction, a would-be thriller as evanescent as a magic trick and one that develops no suspense or rooting interest because the characters possess all the substance of invisible ink.
It's a little along the same lines as "Ocean's 11" in what it achieves and, like that film, there's plenty of Oscar power among the actors - a combined 15 nominations, to be precise.
At times, Now You See Me suggests Christopher Nolan's "The Prestige" made with a throwaway wink.
See all Now You See Me reviews at Metacritic.com
OK for kids 13+
Teen-appealing heist movie has a few intense fight scenes.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Now You See Me is an entertaining (if uneven) caper movie that could be thrilling for teens interested in magic and illusions, though some fight scenes may be too harsh (kicks to the face, pistol-whipping, a deadly car crash) for younger viewers. Viewers can also expect intermittent swearing, including derivations of "s--t," and a brief scene featuring a scantily clad woman astride a man. A character drinks too much at a bar, and several labels are seen/mentioned.
Messages: Justice circles back, even if it takes years. Also, ingenuity and hard work pay off, with patience.
Role models: In many ways, the leads of Now You See Me, magicians and mentalists who call themselves the Four Horsemen, aren't really role models. They scheme, steal, and fool. But it's not for personal gain, which is somewhat admirable. A man comments about a central female character's weight twice.
Violence: A few action-packed fight scenes that look brutal, though viewers don't see any gore: A man's sleeve is trapped in a garbage disposal, and there's lots of kicking, punching, and head-banging. Guns are drawn. In one pretty gnarly car chase, a car tumbles after hitting a median, with the driver dying in a fiery crash.
Sex: Flirty banter and a sweet kiss. A girl strips to her underwear and makes out with a guy. Some innuendo. A woman is very briefly seen topless in a Mardis Gras crowd; hands are covering her breasts.
Language: Includes several uses of "s--t," plus "bulls--t," "a--hole," "d--k," "ass," "hell," "damn," "crap," "goddamn," "oh my God," and the like.
Consumerism: Several labels seen/mentioned: MGM Grand, Starbucks, Skype, Nokia, BMW.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: A character is shown drinking too much at a bar. The next day he references getting drunk.

I want to start with full disclosure here: I'm not a mother (hope that doesn't complicate things! ). I'm a father of a 3 mo and we've been having BF problems since day one, but for now I'll just ask about pumping.
After the first couple of weeks of struggling with whether to continue BF or not, we decided to stick with it and bought an Ameda Purely Yours to increase supply (major weight loss after leaving hospital required supplementation: her milk was mostly colostrum until about the 2 week mark). For the last couple of weeks she has either been pumping or manually expressing (if the pump cups are still drying) after every feed.
The question is: Is only getting a few drops (literally) after 10 minutes of pumping after a feed normal? I think the most she's ever pumped/expressed after a feed is maybe 5 ml, and we know it's hindmilk because it's like half and half when we store it. It really discourages her when she sees this every time. She has never been great at the pump. The most she's ever pumped between feeds has been ~40 ml (both breasts together) and that was 3 hours after a feeding. She reads about people pumping 3-4 oz. a time and that also gets her fairly discouraged.

Washington Migratory Bird Stamps and Prints will be available soon through the Washington Waterfowl Association (WWA).
If you bought a Migratory Bird Permit and would like a free Washington Migratory Bird Stamp, please send a copy of your license and a self-addressed stamped envelope to WWA Duck Stamp Program, PO Box 2131, Auburn, WA, 98071-2131 by March 31 of the year following stamp issue.
If you have any questions about ordering stamps or artwork please call (253) 833-7102 or visit Washington Waterfowl Association. Proceeds from stamps and artwork are used to protect and enhance thousands of acres of wetlands and other waterfowl habitat. If you have recommendations for the design of the Washington Migratory Bird Stamp and Print, please contact WWA.
Migratory Bird Stamp & Artwork Program
You can invest in the future of Washington's diverse migratory bird and wetland resources. Your purchase of one or more Washington State Migratory Bird Stamps or Migratory Bird Stamp artwork products represents not only a sound personal financial investment for you, but also an investment in Washington's wetlands, waterfowl, and other migratory bird resources.
Wetlands throughout Washington sustain not only our breeding population, but birds that breed in Alaska, western Canada, and even Russia. Over 35 species and subspecies of ducks, geese, and swans depend on Washington wetlands, which include coastal estuaries, beaver ponds, desert potholes, sloughs and lakes. Other migratory game birds benefitting from the program include mourning doves, band-tailed pigeons, and snipe.
Revenue from the sale of migratory bird permits and stamps to hunters and collectors is used to buy and develop migratory bird habitat in the state and to enhance, protect, and produce migratory birds in the state. Second, revenue from the sale of artwork (limited edition prints) is used to contract with individuals or nonprofit organizations to develop waterfowl production projects in Washington.
The stamp and artwork program has been responsible for several significant improvements in the quality and quantity of habitat in Washington by:
Examples of many projects completed over the past 20 years include:
Ongoing and new projects are described in the current Migratory Bird Stamp and Artwork Program Expenditure Plan.
WDFW has also used revenues from stamps and artwork to fund cooperative projects with Ducks Unlimited, Washington Waterfowl Association, Inc., Audubon Society, and many local sports groups. Funding is available for projects to benefit waterfowl production (contact 360-902-2515).
"Double Down for the Ducks"
Stamps are a double investment- investing in waterfowl habitat and also in collectible stamps which can appreciate in value over the years. Some past duck stamps have appreciated from 65 to 175 percent. Even if you purchase a stamp for collecting or your limited-edition print, buying additional stamps is a good investment-both for you and for Washington waterfowl and wetlands. Stamps are available in a variety of configurations. For information on ordering stamps, prints and artist Bart Rulon, see the Washington Waterfowl Association's website.

Michael Freund of Israel National News has an interesting Jerusalem Post column on the uses of the blogosphere in countering the Arab propaganda war against Israel: "Right on! Circumvent old meda — go for the blogosphere." Michael includes a list of blogs that have in his view proved adept in seeking to circulate the truth in matters related to Israel (to which I'm adding links):
As a blogger myself, I often find better and more timely analysis on the Web than in the mainstream media. Indeed, some of Israel's best friends and most articulate defenders can be found in the blogosphere, where sites such as Little Green Footballs, Powerline, Atlas Shrugs, Hugh Hewitt, Debbie Schlussel and Instapundit all provide a refreshing alternative to the moral relativism and politically correct anti-Israel blather of the media.
Check 'em all out.
On the same subject, Frontline continued its News War series last night with part 3. I didn't get a chance to see it, so I don't know if it included any of the interviews that Frontline conducted with us about Power Line last August. On its interviews page Frontline has in any event now posted edited transcripts of its interviews with John and me. The series concludes with the broadcast of part 4 on March 27.

Finally, an Antawn Jamison sighting.
On Sunday, Jamison's 16th NBA season officially got underway when Coach Doc Rivers sent him into the game late in the first quarter of the Clippers' 15th game of the season.
When the Clippers' 121-82 win over Chicago at Staples Center was complete, Jamison had logged 15 minutes, made 4 of 8 shots, scored 11 points, hit a 3-pointer and had three rebounds.
"He hasn't played for 14 games and he came in tonight and stretched the floor immediately," forward Blake Griffin said of Jamison. "He missed a couple early, but obviously he's getting into the flow. His experience, his voice out there is huge for us. It kind of gives us a little bit of a calming factor."
Jamison, who had offseason wrist surgery after one season with the Lakers, has been held back a bit by Rivers, who will turn to the veteran in select situations.
"I have just been holding him and I told him two days ago I was going to go to him in one of these two (weekend) games," Rivers said. "But not in both, because I do not want him to play him in back-to-back games. I just chose to play him tonight, no science in that."
Whenever Jamison is used, he figures to become a staple in the second unit that is headed by guards Darren Collison and Jamal Crawford.
"He's great," Rivers said. "He fits that unit so well because with Jamal able to score and DC's speed, an extra shooter is a terrific fit for that group. Moving forward I will try to use him, except in back-to-back games."
His presence was felt immediately by his teammates.
"I was happy for Antawn," Chris Paul said. "I played a lot with Antawn in practice and watched him over the years. He's one of those guys who's just a pro. He works out every day, he's going to be ready whenever coach calls his name, and that's what he did."
Dudley does right
Jared Dudley might have had his best shooting game of the season with his 21-point effort, but he is also winning praise for the way he fits in defensively with the Clippers.
Rivers noticed that about Dudley when he played for Phoenix and was surprisingly effective matching up against Paul Pierce of the Celtics.
"He's crafty," Rivers said. "I used to look at him at Phoenix and there were certain games he gave Paul problems and I didn't understand how that was possible. But he's just a crafty defender. He's just kind of in the right place."
Dudley, who has battled tendinitis this season, has simply been doing his homework.
"What I try to do is position defense," he said. "I know what guys like to do. I'm not so much going to block your shot or get a lot of steals. Usually, every team has a defensive concept where they know where their help is. I know where my help is, I try to send them to the help or use angles or the sideline when it comes to quicker guards on the baseline."
Another veteran not used to hearing praise for his defense is Jamal Crawford. But he won that praise from Rivers Sunday.
"Jamal had three crack-backs tonight defensively and two of them created turnovers," Rivers said. "That's unbelievable. From a coaching standpoint, it's nice when guys are hugging him on the bench because of a defensive play. That warms my heart."
Lesson learned
On Saturday, the Clippers built a 20-point first-half lead but found themselves having to battle back from a five-point deficit in the final three minutes before beating Sacramento, 103-102. Sunday, it was a runaway.
"Our defense was pretty good today," Paul said. "We held them to 39 percent shooting, we ran them off the 3-point line as much as possible but the other thing was we ran, we got out in transition."
And the memory of the previous day lingered, Crawford added.
"When you have the opportunity to play the very next night, it's fresh in your mind," he said. "So you can work on things you did wrong yesterday."

Soccernet has named its all-decade English Premier League team. It's not easy to put such a team together, and the results will always be controversial. However, the following selections seem pretty reasonable to me:
GK – Shay Given
RB – Gary Neville
LB – Ashley Cole
CB – Rio Ferdinand
CB – John Terry
DM – Patrick Vieira
CM – Steven Gerrard
CM – Paul Scholes
LW – Ryan Giggs
RY – Christian Ronaldo
CF – Thierry Henry
Soccernet also named five substitues. They are Brad Friedel, Sol Campbell, Roy Keane, Frank Lampard, and Ruud van Nistelrooy. The selection of Friedel, an American, as back-up goalkeeper took me by surprise. I was expecting to see Manchester United's Edwin Van der Sar in that slot. But Freidel has, in fact, quietly put together an outstanding full decade in England, and on reflection his selection is reasonable.
Meanwhile, at the half-way mark of this year's season, here is my all-Premier League side:
GK – Shay Given – Manchester City
RB – Glenn Johnson – Liverpool
LB – Ashley Cole – Chelsea
CB – Richard Dunne – Aston Villa
CB – Roger Johnson – Birmingham CIty
CM – Cesc Fabregas – Arsenal
CM – Frank Lampard – Chelsea
W – John Milner – Aston Villa
W – Aaron Lennon – Tottenham Hotspur
F – Wayne Rooney – Manchester United
F – Didier Drogba – Chelsea
Best Player – Drogba
Best Everton Player – Louis Saha
At the beginning of the decade Rooney and Dunne both were young Everton prospects. How we could use them now.

Coastal Classic Week 2 and dubious Strava accomplishment
Second week in a row of doing the "Coastal Classic" (Woodside/Pescadero/Tunitas) loop, and it's not getting any easier. In fact, today felt like the toughest yet, but some of that might have been from a bit of fatigue due to getting up early to watch the finish of Paris Roubaix, and then heading down to Kaiser Santa Clara to get Kevin out of the hospital.
It was a really late start; 2:05pm or so, one of those racing-the-sun rides. On my own again; it's going to be nearly 7 weeks before Kevin's ready to do any serious riding again, and not knowing when I'd be picking him up precluded plans to ride with others.
I forced myself to climb all of Old LaHonda seated, definitely not my normal style, but figured I should try something a bit different. Besides, you get better video that way (less wobbly). But with almost nobody else out on the road, the video is pretty boring. Not a bad idea to build up different muscles, and a test of will-power, as you find yourself rationalizing all sorts of ways to stand up for a moment or two that wouldn't constitute cheating on the concept. But can't do that; it wasn't the plan.
Old LaHonda rolled past in just under 23, Haskins just over 10, and Tunitas from coast to top in a very-frustrating 50:14. But in-between I was pushing pretty hard, making good time despite some pretty strong headwinds.
I finished the ride feeling... well, finished! I was definitely running out of power climbing Tunitas, and it felt really good having muscles that felt like they'd done something.
Ah, nearly forgot about the "dubious Strava accomplishment." PR for descending Kings, now 14th on the list out of 294 for the stop-sign to stop-sign segment. I'm getting slower climbing, but faster descending. Would definitely rather have it the other way around.

As the summer comes to a close, and temperatures start to dip, it won't be long before you settle inside for the fall and winter — and start paying more attention to areas of your home that are looking a little tired.
Mark Wallace of Stanley Black & Decker says minor changes can refresh a room, and even add a new dimension to your home without breaking the bank.
Here are a few quick and inexpensive touches you can make to a bathroom:
- A fresh coat of paint brings new life to any room, and a bathroom is no exception. Bold, deep colours on walls are in style — look for something that will complement your fixtures and bring out the subtle tones in your floors.
- Matching accents are an inexpensive way to capture a new look in the small space of a bathroom. A modern, stylish towel bar, hand towel ring or toothbrush holder will draw the eye of anyone who enters.
- A new shower curtain and matching towels will add an eye-catching accent to your new paint and accessories.
- Stylish bathroom light fixtures are available for less than $50. Choose one that matches your fixtures and paint scheme.
- It's amazing what a new faucet can do. A clean, simple design finished in rustic bronze or brushed nickel will become a focal point. A wide array of Pfister faucets are available starting around $150 — the biggest investment for your bathroom mini-reno.

Tom Herzig's Trackside: Helliwell Jr. captures ACT Fall Foliage 200
DESPITE SOME anxious moments late in the American Canadian Tour Fall Foliage 200 at Airborne Speedway,
Wayne Helliwell Jr.
of Dover won the ACT Late Model championship for the second year in a row. Helliwell Jr. was running third behind race winner
Alex Labbe
of St. Albert, Quebec, and his closest rival for the 2013 crown,
Joey Polewarczyk Jr.
, when he got turned by
Brian Hoar
and hammered by oncoming traffic with 14 laps remaining.
Before you could say
Ernie Gahan
, the 1950s-60s legend from Dover, Helliwell's 41-point lead was melting, but he managed to regroup and nurse his torn-up EKeys4Cars No. 27 around well enough to stay on the lead lap for a ninth-place finish. Polewarczyk Jr. wound up second in the race and on the Tour (14 points shy of Helliwell).
This weekend a large field of ACT Late Models will gather at Thunder Road for the 51st People's United Bank Milk Bowl. ACT has announced that all segments of the Milk Bowl will revert to 50 laps as was the tradition for decades. In recent years, the final two segments have been 75 laps apiece, Also, the race will be run on American Racer tires, which have already been named as the 2014 replacement for Goodyears.
Helliwell, a fan of the longer segments, a second ACT trophy headed for the mantle, a dinged up race car and no American Racer inventory, has opted, citing sponsorship considerations, to take a pass on the Milk Bowl. Presumably, he'll make it, one way or the other, to Riverside's 200-lap, $10,000-to-win Fall Brawl Saturday, Oct. 19.
The Milk Bowl also pays $10,000-to-win. ACT Invitational winner
Eddie MacDonald
, three-time winner
Patrick Laperle
, Thunder Road champion
Derrick O'Donnell
of North Haverhill, last year's winner
Dave Pembroke
and 2010 winner Joey Pole are among the entrants.
The Valenti Modified Series is at Seekonk Speedway Saturday as a part of the 10th annual Anthony Venditti Fall Classic.
Rowan Pennink
is the series leader.
Donny Lia
, last seen getting the boot from
"I don't drive like that"
in the third turn on the final lap in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour 100 at NHMS, won the Carquest Fall Final at Stafford over the weekend.
Doug Coby
was second with Pennink third.
Ryan Preece
struggled to a 17th-place finish and will take a 26-point lead over Coby into the World Series at Thompson Oct. 20.
The Strictlys were fogged out Saturday at Star. The race will be made up at Star's famed Halloween Howler Oct. 26.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery from leg surgery to ISMA driver
Russ Wood
Mikayla Duval
of Manchester wired the field for her first Thunder Lights win at Hudson.
Max Chaput
of Nashua finished second.
Mikayla Lord
of Dracut, Mass., was third.
Jen Lord
of Lowell, Mass., picked up her second Roadrunner win after leaders
Billy Osborne
Ricky Fissette
locked bumpers.
This Sunday Hudson's Outlaw champion will be decided with double points on the line. It's pretty much down to two buddies,
Todd Warren
of Sterling, Mass., and
Kevin Kephart
of Rutland, Mass., who are six points apart. Both drivers have three wins. If they end up in a deadlock points-and-wins-wise will promoter
Bob Webber
start looking up second-place finishes or name co-champions? Stay tuned.
Racing at Hudson is a family affair for the family of
. His father,
, used to run at Westboro Speedway and his brother
has won multiple titles racing on the ice in Jaffrey. They're both on the crew along with brother-in-law
Mike Simpson
, Kevin's wife,
, and daughters
Victoria sings the national anthem — you get the idea.
Kephart drives the No. 79 sponsored by Bonner Sheet Metal of Worcester and KMD Mechanical.
"Todd and I are good friends," Kephart said. "We've both had our best season. I've never won an asphalt title in 14 years of racing. We'll just go out and race and celebrate afterwards either way."
DJ Shaw
won the 150-lap finale at Oxford Plains. Shaw took the lead with 17 laps to go after a lap-130 restart led to some three-wide racing at the front between
Cassius Clark
Joey Doiron
Scott Mulkern
. Clark and Doiron began the day tied for the point lead. By finishing third behind Shaw and Mulkern, Clark became the 2013 PASS champion.
Rene Charland
. The Holyoke, Mass., native started racing at Riverside Park in Agawam, Mass., in 1949. He was inducted into the New England Auto Racers Hall of Fame in 1998. Charland was a cigar-chomping prankster, who was equally fast on dirt or asphalt. He won everywhere from Fonda and Utica-Rome to Norwood and the Cheshire Fairgrounds in Keene. He once finished third behind
David Pearson
Richard Petty
in a Grand National race at Islip, N.Y. Charland won an unprecedented four NASCAR National Sportsman championships from 1962-65.

Andre Villas-Boas has reiterated that Gareth Bale is not for sale despite reports linking him with a move to Real Madrid.
Spanish newspaper Marca claimed that the Wales international had already agreed a deal to sign for Madrid for next season, but the Tottenham manager denied the reports and remained adamant that the player's future would be at White Hart Lane.
"On Gareth, I want to repeat what I was telling you last season and what I was telling you from the beginning of preseason," he said.
"He's a player that we are willing to continue to have, he's a Tottenham player, he's one of the most fantastic players in the world at the moment and we are counting on him for the future.
"Unfortunately against Sunderland he won't be fit to play, he's recovering from a knock he had in training so we expect him hopefully to have some involvement in the second game."
Bale's agent had previously hinted at a potential move to the Spanish giants, while Manchester United also inquired about the 24-year-old only to be stunned by Spurs' 82m euros asking price.
Bale is with the Tottenham squad in Hong Kong for the Asia Cup but will not be involved in its opening match with Sunderland due to injury.

During 2007, the worldwide automotive industry produced 73.1 million vehicles.[1] In 2008, production declined 3.7% to 70.5 million vehicles. The auto industry as a whole grew more than thirty percent between 1995 and 2005.[2] Over the past thirty years differences in government regulation and economic opportunities have created three major clusters of producers- in Western Europe, the U.S., and Japan/South Korea- that developed different characteristics regarding the size, power-train and fuel efficiency of their vehicles.
In the European market, where taxes have made gas expensive, car makers have become expert producers of small displacement gasoline engines and diesel engines(which can generally achieve 35% better fuel economy than a petrol engine of equivalent power). Low gas prices in America have encouraged an ongoing increase in vehicle size and engine displacement. As engine technology has improved and now allows more power from a smaller engine, instead of substituting smaller engines with equivalent power, cars produced for the American market have utilized new technologies to increase horsepower and torque. These design characteristics also hold true for foreign companies such as DAIMLER AG (DAI), Toyota Motor (TM), Nissan Motor (NSANY) and Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW) that derive a large portion of their revenue from U.S. sales. Conversely, Japanese companies such as Subaru (owned by Fuji Heavy Industries) and Honda Motor Company (HMC) have continued to exclusively build more fuel efficient automobiles.
These major car producing regions have recently been joined by a mushrooming of auto-producers in the great emerging economies of India, Russia, China, and Brazil. These four markets, collectively known as the BRIC countries, represent the future for automotive sales growth- with 2007 car sales increasing in China 22% [3] Brazil 26%[4], Russia 36% [5], and India 12%.[6] Amazingly, for 2009 it is expected that there will be more new car sales in China than the United States, albeit in part due to generous government subsidies of new car purchases.[7] The automobiles produced for mass consumption in these developing markets sell for a fraction of the price of cars in Western Europe or the U.S.(the new Tata Nano sells for a mere $2500[8]) , but consequently are lacking in safety devices, comfort equipment such as air-conditioning or stereo equipment, and reliability.
The Major car producing nations in the world and their outputs in 2007 are Japan: 11 million, U.S.: 10.5 million, China: 8.1 million, Germany: 6 million, South Korea: 4 million, alongside smaller producers such as France, Spain, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and India - where between 2 and 3 million automobiles were assembled.[9]
The following table illustrates the 15 largest carmaking companies by volume for 2007.
|Name of Company
|Total Vehicle Output
|General Motors (GM)
|Toyota Motor (TM)
|Volkswagen (VLKAY)
|Ford Motor Company (F)
|Honda Motor Company (HMC)
|PSA (Peugeot Citroen)
|Nissan Motor (NSANY)
|FIAT S.p.A. (FIA)
|Hyundai Motor Company
|Suzuki Motor (SZKMF)

America president and Toyota board meembr, Jim Press moving to Chrysler after 37 years at Toyota: Nardelli Poaches Another One Jim Press Moves to Chrysler Watch Out Toyota, Here Comes Toyota! Press leaving Toyota
I'm looking to buy a car here and was doing the reearsch. The Cost to Own of Hybrids was consistently more than similar (or same) model non-Hybrids. The only advantages Hybrids have is with the fuel costs over the life of the car, and the Hybrid tax credit. But, they're at a disadvantage with almost everything else. And, they're killed by the depreciation, due it seems to the high invoice price. (O.K. I think I just unintentionally made a really good argument for buying Hybrids Used.)But, just to compare the two cars I'm liking, the Honda Civic super-basic trim has a CtO of $24,200 and the Honda Civic Hybrid $26,900. And, the Civic Hybrid is actually way more affordable and closer to the CtO of its non-Hybrid sister model than the other Hybrids I've been looking at.Here's what I'm thinking. The projected Cost to Own is based on a few guesses, like how much mileage you're likely to have, and the price of gas pretty much staying where it is.Now I don't want to read doomsday predictions about how we're going to go all Mad Max. I don't. But, it's natural to suppose the trend of gas prices going up is going to continue.I mean the reason it happened in the first place is because people in developing countries have been buying cars, so the demand for gas has gone up. These countries aren't done developing. Or, to put it another way, there's alot of people in the world who haven't bought a car yet.Back to the Civic I figure with the differences in CtOs not including the cost of gas ($4,300), the cost of gas would pretty much have to double ($4,300/($8,600-$6,200)=~1.8). And, that's pretty much just for the Honda Civic. I'm having a real hard time imagining a horrible nightmare scenario where the Ford Fusion Hybrid New would be a better buy than the Ford Fusion New.I guess I've pretty much already answered my own question. But, I have another scenario for all of you. If someone starts mass producing Hydrogen Fuel Cell cars for mass sales, what's that going to do to the price of gas? I'd expect it to go down partly because the demand for gas would be stemmed somewhat, but mostly just because the gas companies would want to incentivise their consumers keeping combustion cars.I guess the big question there is, how likely is that to happen in the next 5 years? Or however long? Isn't it odd how these alternative cars have the potential to sabotage each other?And, how competitive is hydrogen with gas as a fuel? Obviously, there's the old issue that hydrogen would have to build their distribution from the ground up. But, once that's done, how much would a mile fueled by gas cost vs. a mile fueled by hydrogen?Gas comes out of the ground with it's energy already in it. Petroleum pumps try to be (and are) highly energy efficient. But, pumping a liquid out of minerals Well, isn't that like squeezing blood from a stone?Hydrogen you have to use up energy to electrolyze it or refine it from fossil fuels. I'm not bothered so much by the greenhouse implications. From an engineering standpoint it's an energy storage device. What's the cost? Electricity is cheap. Right?Then there's the comparative fuel economies of fuel cell and combustion cars. Hydrogen is more energy intensive than gas. A full tank is lighter. The lightening of the cars load would give it a slight advantage in fuel economy. Wouldn't it? (Get the image of hydrogen making balloon floaty cars out of your head please. It so doesn't work that way.) Also, since the internal drag is on a much shorter drive train, wouldn't that give Hydrogen Fuel Cell cars a tremendous advantage in fuel economy?So an swers, are you saying that if I asked these other questions separately you WOULD answer them? Besides I'm dubious of that on it's own, it kind of sounds like Y!A points farming to me, at a cost to me!Beyond that it's occurred to me you don't have to double the price of gas. For vocations that involve alot of driving you could easily more than double the mileage and the fuel consumption. Like I imagine Taxi companies, if they're not using Hybrids are pretty much losing money.From the National Hydrogen Association: The estimated costs for producing and delivering hydrogen to thefueling station using today's technologies vary from $2.10/gallon of gasoline equivalent (gge) to $9.10/gge. These hydrogen costs do not include highway taxes and do include the increased fuel efficiency of fuel cell vehicles compared to gasoline-powered hybrid electric vehicles. So best case scenario hydrogen is just competitive with gas.An swers, sorry you did write that mileage can make a Hybrid worthwhile first. But, I still don't like the other thing you wrote, if only because that means flooding the latest question pages with spam questions. There's enough inane crap on here as it is.On the other side of things, saying hydrogen as a fuel isn't going to happen in a big way tomorrow is not the same as saying it's never going to happen. The price of gas will go up, not least of all because people consider it to be an essential consumable. People don't just use less simply because demand outstrips supply, so the price has to go way up to be prohibitive. Next we'd need to see a big drop in the price of electricity. Maybe when they mine the moon for tritium for fusion power, though the new fusion powerplants and the power infrastructure will still cost money on top of the price tag of a commercial lunar space program. I think the big energy conglomerates like GE can afford to do it easy. But I've never been a big fan of electric cars. I don't think the oil companies are trying to keep them buried because they threaten their monopoly. I just don't think they've ever really been any good. Granted tremendous advances in battery technology have given them a huge step forward. But, even with that and regenerative braking (an old technology which has gained new interest) electric cars' ranges just aren't very good. I know that sound like a strawman attack, like the old one that electric cars can't make it up hills. But, it's true. At the least, going on a roadtrip in an electric car is out of the question. It doesn't help there the batteries are pretty dang heavy. But again the weight is less important than internal drag on the drive train, as well as regenerative braking. (Batteries are also expensive, but not more so than engine blocks and full drive trains, and definitely not more than hydrogen tanks and fuel cells.)
As of mid-2008, the worldwide motor industry has considerable excess capacity. According to estimates made by the automotive consulting firm CSM Worldwide, the world light vehicle production capacity is 85.4 million cars per year, which is about 16.8 million more than the number demanded by consumers.[11] This is the fundamental factor that makes today's automotive industry so fiercely competitive, even in the face of prodigious demand growth from the developing world. This means that to gain market share today a car company cannot simply make cars of reasonable quality and styling. Instead, more than ever before, the automobile must be distinguishable either in terms of design, as has been seen with Ford of Europe's enormous success, or of notorious durability, such as with Toyota's vehicles. So in the near future, a successful automaker will need to both effectively manage production and technology concerns while at the same time delivering vehicles that are differentiable from the glut of other cars on the market.

PHOENIX – Others are fighting for the playoffs. The Cubs are trying to avoid a 100-loss season.
The Cubs added to their futility in the West with an 8-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday night. The Cubs are 0-18 in road games against the NL West with one more to go, the series finale in the desert today. The Cubs have lost 99 games.
"At this point we are trying to win four games out of four right now," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "A lot of ways it is important because if we lose tomorrow we are going to lose 100 games. That is the bottom line. Tomorrow is as important as any game we play, West Coast or whatever. The bottom line is we have to win tomorrow not to lose 100 games."
The Cubs have lost seven in a row and 11 of 12. But it's that 100 number that gnaws.
"We don't want to lose 100 games," Alfonso Soriano said. "We have four games left and I have never been a part of a team with 100 loses. We have had a losing team but never 100 games and I don't want to be a part of this."
The Cubs close the season with a three-game series at home against the Astros beginning Monday.
Arizona's Trevor Cahill threw a four-hitter in his third career complete game. Cahill (13-12), 4-1 in his final five starts of the season, struck out a season-high nine and walked three. He was two outs shy of his third career shutout when Soriano hit his 32nd home run of the season in the ninth.
"It's good, kind of momentum for next year," Cahill said. "Even though we're out of it, if we can play good baseball for the last four games, it will just give us a whole mindset going into next year."
Justin Upton hit a booming two-run homer onto the second deck in left field in the fifth and had an RBI single Arizona's three-run first. Aaron Hill went 3 for 4 with two RBIs. He doubled in a run in the first and singled in one in the second off Justin Germano (2-10), loser of eight straight starts.
Germano lasted 4 1⁄3 innings, giving up seven runs on 10 hits with five strikeouts, a walk and a hit batter.
"I have run out of words as what to say. I honestly think I hit a wall this last month, month and a half," Germano said. "I was having the best year of my career up until that point, as far as consistency and keeping the ball down. These last few starts I can see that I am not finishing pitches like I did the beginning of the year."
Sveum said the Cubs were "overmatched" with Germano on the mound.
"You can't sugar coat it or anything like that," Sveum said. "He has done the best that he can, Germano, but it is tough to go out there against lineups, especially good lineups, and try to get away with 86 miles an hour."
By going nine, Cahill reached 200 innings pitched for the second year in a row.
He even had a career-high two RBIs, doubling his total for the season. He drew a four-pitch, bases loaded walk from Lendy Castillo with two outs in the fifth and singled home Mike Jacobs from second in seventh.
Jacobs barely evaded the catcher Wellington Castillo's tag on the throw from the right fielder David DeJesus.
Cahill, a sinking fastball specialist who was acquired from Oakland last offseason, had shutouts in his other two complete games – against San Diego on June 8 and for the Athletics against Kansas City on Aug. 2, 2019.
Cahill got run support in a hurry in his final start of the season for the Diamondbacks, who were eliminated from playoff contention when the St. Louis Cardinals won Friday night.
Adam Eaton led off the Arizona first with a soft single to center, took second on Gerardo Parra's sacrifice bunt, then scored when Hill doubled to left. Hill had two doubles in the Diamondbacks' 8-3 win in the series opener Friday night.
Upton singled Hill home, advanced to third on Ryan Wheeler's two-out single, and scored when Jacobs, filling in for Paul Goldschmidt at first, singled to center.
Arizona got three more in the fifth. Hill singled with one out, then Upton hit the first pitch well into the second deck down the left field line for his 19th home run. Miguel Montero was hit by a pitch and Wheeler walked. Germano seemed to be out of the jam when he got John McDonald to pop out for the second out and bring up Cahill. But the Cubs right-hander walked the Arizona pitcher on four pitches to bring home Hill and make it 7-0.
Notes: Eaton broke his right wrist when he was hit by a pitch in the seventh inning. Recovery time is estimated at 6 to 8 weeks. ... Darwin Barney was out of the Cubs lineup one day after his streak of 141 games without an error ended. Barney's streak tied the major league record for second baseman. ...

Edward picked me up for school as always, except he looked extra happy to see me. I walked over to him, my thoughts in astonishment. It's still hard to believe that someone like me (normal and the exact opposite of graceful) could be with someone like him (pure beauty) and still be loved in return. Not even counting the obvious (I'm a human and he's a vampire).
"Hello, why do you look so happy?" I wondered out loud, for his eyes were flaring with excitement.
I buckled myself in the front seat of the Volvo.
"Well, what else do you expect, I'm always happy to see you." he said as he rolled his eyes, like it was so obvious. He pulled out of my driveway.
"Yes." I agreed.
"But today, something's different." I replied observing him.
"Yes. I suppose something's different." He talked casually, looking into my eyes.
"So there is something you're excited about!" I stated.
I knew I was near the mark. "naturally." He smiled his perfect smile. Everything about him is perfect, it melts my heart away, as stupid as it sounds.
"Well, aren't you going to tell me what it is?"
He looked like he was going to speak so I quickly added "please, Edward. I love you, and I thought we were way past keeping secrets." My eyes were big and sincere; I showed my best puppy dog face.
All the practice at the book stores when I was a kid with Renée sure paid off, if it worked on her (I would usually get away with 5 books instead of 2) surely it would work on him.
Edward winced, but then shook his head. "No, I see what your tying too do, and it won't work. Although you had me for a second. You will see when we get to school. Oh and Bella." For I had turned away with disappointment, "no groaning or complaining, please."
"That depends on what it is" I said in a-matter-of-factly voice.
"I can only promise if you tell me what I can't complain about." I tried desperately, I was burning with curiosity.
"Nice try, but it's not going to work, you will see when we get to school." I now knew to give up, I could tell I wasn't getting anywhere; I could have been trying to move a brick wall for all the progress I was making.
As we pulled into forks high school's parking lot (within minutes, thanks too Edward's maniac driving) everyone looked excited. There was even people (mostly girls) jumping up and down giggling. Uh oh, this can not be good.
I rushed out of the Volvo to see what was going on. I walked up to the nearest poster and read the first sentence. Of course, Edward was right next to me, even if I walked fast.
"A HOME COMING DANCE!" I yelled in fury.
He was not making me go to this, I can't dance. "Yes, a home coming dance. And I was wondering if you would go to it with me." He asked me.
I turned to look at him; he was looking at me and smiling. How could I say no to him? I glanced at him disapprovingly.
"I can't dance!" I said complaining.
"It's all in the leading. And Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett will be there too. Rose and Alice will help you get ready, like last time. Please?" he asked again with pleading eyes.
I couldn't say no too those pair of eyes, so I quickly gave in. "alright, fine." I sighed.
I remember the last time Rosalie and Alice helped me get ready. It was last spring, for the prom. Every time I would protest, she would say 'I don't remember being human, and I'm trying to have some vicarious fun here. Besides, it's for your own good.' And it was for my own good. I will never forget how I looked that night, but more so how Edward looked.
The morning went on as usual; all my nervousness about the dance melted away with one look in is eyes. And I had to keep reminding myself that the dance isn't for a week.
At lunch Alice was ecstatic. "I can't wait for the dance. Rose and I picked out the cutest dress for you; I can't wait to see how you look in it!" she said with a smile.
Then all of a sudden her face went smooth, her eyes closed, as if she was someplace far away. Her eyes opened quickly, they looked panicked.
I heard Edward curse under his breath, he could already see what Alice just saw.
"What is it Alice?" I asked as Edward took a protective lean over me.
"We have to get out, NOW." Edward's voice whipped through the words.
"It's Victoria." She answered me as she hissed the name. I shuddered.
"She has a group of 4 coming. She told them about you, and they won't believe it until they see it. They could possibly be an army; I'm not to sure at the moment. Their between California and Oregon." She answered me quickly. Edward tensed.
"How much time does that leave us?" I asked.
I knew what we would have too do, we would have too leave. I knew this because of the safety of Charlie and forks, we couldn't have possibly sadistic vampires around here, and I wouldn't allow it either.
"It gives us about a day, but we are leaving before then. I don't know the whole plan, we will need to go to my house, talk it over with Carlisle. But how are we going to get out of here?" Edward said in frustration.
"I have an idea." Alice said with a grin.

Season Totals: 37 GP, 6-25-31, +15, 36 PIM
Barberio scored the game's opening goal on the power play. He has begun to find the back of the net more frequently recently, though he's got a ways to go to reach last year's career high of 15 goals. Barberio began his QMJHL career with Cape Breton in 2006-2007, but was traded after 41 games.

Kevin Bailie, who played the last game for Oshawa, relieved Zador, but gave up three goals on five shots. DeCoste, on the other hand, remains hot, scoring for the second straight game. He's within two of his career high for goals in a season (15), set last year with Brampton and Sault Ste. Marie. DeCoste's goal came against Zador.

Funding for government agencies is controlled by Congress. The ability for an agency to provide grant funding for university research, whether that is through the National Science Foundation, Department of Defense, or any science agency, is decided on by your representatives and senators. Congress makes many decisions that affect the US research enterprise including authorizing money for new programs, creating new departments within an agency, funding new equipment, and allocating resources for activities at national laboratories.
It is important for Congress to hear from you as scientists and educators, about the need for this funding. In these tight budget times, Congress must make some very difficult decisions and make cuts to program funding. Whereas congressional staff members are very knowledgeable about policy, they often do not have science backgrounds. It is therefore very helpful for them to hear from scientists who can provide details on practical benefit of research and descriptions of uses for government funding in the lab.
Few Members of Congress regularly hear from scientists and science teachers, and yet each Member welcomes the opinions and thoughts of their constituents. They also want to hear from organizations, such as the American Association of Physics Teachers, which work to promote and advocate for specific issues. The American Association of Physics Teachers along with the American Institute of Physics, American Physical Society, American Astronomical Society, the Optical Society, and the American Geophysical Union have staff who are available to answer questions about policy and can provide information on how to contact Congress.
The resources below can provide further information about policy issues on Capitol Hill:

Young Naturalist Award Winner Investigates How Dirty Dogs' Mouths Really Are
by AMNH on
Thirteen-year-old Abby and her mother always disagreed on one point: should Abby let their dog lick her when she returned from school? "Abby! Don't let the dog lick you," her mother would scold. "Her tongue is full of bacteria!"
Determined to learn the truth about the level of bacteria in her dog's mouth, Abby applied for a research grant at the State Hygienic Lab at the University of Iowa. When the lab accepted her proposal and paired her with researcher Gabriella Gerken, Abby began collecting dog and human saliva samples for her investigation. Her findings, detailed in the essay Are Dogs' Tongues Really Cleaner Than Humans'?, received a 2011 Young Naturalist Award.

Podcast: SciCafe: Hidden Reptiles of Madagascar
by AMNH on
After more than 200 years of exploration, scientists are still discovering new species of snakes, chameleons, geckos, and skinks in Madagascar, the fourth-largest island in the world.
In this podcast from this summer's SciCafe, Christopher Raxworthy, associate curator in the Department of Herpetology, discusses the mix of modern technologies and "muddy boots" field biology that makes these discoveries possible.
Dr. Raxworthy's talk was recorded at the Museum on June 11, 2011.
Linking Trees' Fibonacci Sequence to Solar Power Wins Student A Young Naturalist Award
by AMNH on
When 13-year-old Aidan took a winter hike through the Catskill Mountains, he noticed something spectacular about the bare trees. "I thought trees were a mess of tangled branches," he would later recall, "But [then] I saw a pattern in the way the tree branches grew."
Armed with a protractor, Aidan measured the angles of the branches and discovered they grew in a Fibonacci sequence—a mathematical pattern that can be observed throughout nature, from the curve of nautilus shells to the spirals of galaxies. In this famous sequence, each number is the sum of the previous two: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, continuing infinitely. Could this branch pattern help trees absorb more sunlight? Aidan's pursuit of that question in his essay The Secret of the Fibonacci Sequence in Trees earned him a 2011 Young Naturalist Award.

Manchester police notice rise in thefts of copper
March 07. 2013 12:06PM
MANCHESTER - Manchester police have been noticing a rise in thefts of copper and metal fixtures from vacant houses across the city.
On Laval Street, police on Sunday found the copper pipes and stainless-steel kitchen appliances gone from a vacant building. The building manager reported that the refrigerator, range and dishwasher were removed from the kitchen and the copper piping was cut from the basement.
On Concord Street, all the copper piping and radiators were removed from the building. Police took a report March 26 from the owner of that building, which was also vacant. Police estimated that several thousand dollars worth of copper piping were removed from the building, as well as approximately 25 radiators valued at over $3,000.
On Feb. 23, police investigated a report on Krakow Street where a small amount of copper piping was removed from the basement. On Feb. 22, police took a report at Pleasant Pond Way in a new home under construction, where copper piping was removed from the basement. Also stolen were several of the contractor's tools , including a compressor, nail gun and battery charger.
On Feb. 20, police said another vacant home on Lafayette Street was entered and copper piping removed form the basement. There was also some water damage, although they said it appeared the water was shut off before the pipes were removed.
Police are warning homeowners with vacant property to be sure to secure their property and check it regularly. Residents are requested to contact police immediately if they notice any suspicious activity, especially in vacant buildings.
Anyone with information on these reported thefts is asked to contact Manchester Police at 668-8711. Anonymous tips for cash rewards can be made though Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040 or online at manchestercrimeline.org.

Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance (DLRAA) is asking you to take their safety advice on board this spring whilst you enjoy lighter nights, warmer weekend weather, and spending time in the great outdoors.
Each day is different for DLRAA, however the number of sporting and outdoor related call outs often increase dramatically at this time of year.
Throughout May 2013 one in five incidents DLRAA attended were related to outdoor sporting accidents.
Just this month, the team from DLRAA were called out to help a 22-year-old man who fell from a tree whilst out and about in the Peak District.
Taking part in activities like cycling, climbing or simply walking your dog is fun, good for you and for most people trouble-free, but there are possible risks.
Air ambulance paramedic Philippa Gibbs has some helpful tips for planning ahead.
Philippa said: "When I am not working at the Air Ambulance I really enjoy taking part in many different outdoor activities, particularly riding my horse. It's a great time of year to get out and enjoy the nature of the countryside, but it's important to make sure you stay safe too. I always make sure I check my route before I leave the stables, let someone know where I am going and roughly how long I plan to be out for."
Beautiful rural areas, perfect for hiking, horse riding and mountain biking are often remote locations which can be extremely difficult for emergency services to reach in a hurry.
This is one reason why the services of local Air Ambulance are relied upon during spring time.
DLRAA's state of the art Agusta helicopter can travel at speeds up to 185mph and reach many places that are inaccessible to a land ambulance.
To help you stay safe in your community Philippa has some top tips to help you get set for spring.
She added: "if you are taking part in a particular activity, such as cycling or hiking, it is extremely important to make sure you are wearing the correct protective wear and that after a long winter in the garage it is a really good idea to check all safety equipment to make sure it is full working order.
"It only takes a couple of minutes to make these small checks but they can really make a difference to your safety."
Since the clocks sprung forward at the end of March, DLRAA has been working longer shifts to ensure they are available throughout daylight hours to help as many people as possible.
DLRAA pilots, paramedics and doctors are now on call between 9am and 7pm, seven days a week, whilst sister service Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance (WNAA) is available from 7am until 5pm.
Both Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) work together to provide the best possible cover of critical care, and a rapid means of transport to those who need it most.
DLRAA receives no Government funding and relies entirely on public donations to keep them flying and saving lives.
Please support your Air Ambulance so that their crew can be there for people in your community this spring at their greatest time of need.
To make a donation please call 08454 130999 or visit: www.theairambulanceservice.org.uk/getsetspring.

COLUMBUS – On an evening filled with sorrow from the onset, Columbus and LA battled to a 1-1 draw in the Crew's first match since the unexpected death of rookie midfielder Kirk Urso on Aug. 5.
Jairo Arrieta gave Columbus (8-8-5) the lead in the 47th minute with his third goal in five games with the Crew, but Robbie Keane equalized in the 64th. It was left to goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum to preserve the deadlock as he denied a wicked strike from LA's Jose Villarreal in the second minute of stoppage time.
The Galaxy (11-11-4) were without Landon Donovan, who was with the US men's national team for its friendly Wednesday at Mexico, as well as David Beckham. The Englishman was given the night off after returning from the closing ceremonies for the London Olympics on Sunday.
Columbus honored Urso's memory both with a wreath and picture in the stadium plaza and with a pregame ceremony including a video of his highlights with the Crew and the University of North Carolina. The Crew players also wore black warm-up shirts with a gold encircled "KU" on the front and his No. 15 on the back. The game jerseys had a No. 15 arm band and patch and 15 was painted on the field.
Finally, in the 15th minute, the stadium went silent before the sound of "Amazing Grace" on bagpipes completed the two-minute observance. The Nordecke supporters' group also unveiled a tifo with "Kirk Urso, 1990-2012. Forever Massive."
And in the midst of all this, the Crew rose to the occasion.
After an unsuccessful barrage of shots – nine in eight minutes – to complete the opening period, Arrieta made something out of nothing just minutes after the restart to give the Crew the lead.
He took the ball on the right wing and cut toward the middle past several Galaxy players before firing with his less-favored left foot from the top of the arc, and Josh Saunders could not get enough on the rolling shot to keep it out of the net.
Keane equalized after a crafty setup by Sean Franklin, who nutmegged Dilly Duka then sent his pass past Carlos Mendes and Chad Marshall for the easy finish and goal No. 11 on the season for the Irish international.
Columbus parlayed their emotions into first-half dominance everywhere but the scoreboard where poor finishing, bad luck and stellar play from goalkeeper Josh Saunders kept the match at zero.
Arrieta, Sebastian Miranda, Cole Grossman and former Galaxy Chris Birchall had unmarked shots miss the target in the opening 37 minutes.
Birchall finally tested Saunders two minutes later from 40 yards out to start a series of opportunities. Mirosevic and Gaven were both denied by solid saves from Saunders, while Josh Williams smacked the post and Mirosevic had another effort deflected.
Columbus made one change from their loss to D.C. United on Aug. 4 – midfielder Cole Grossman returned from a red-card suspension to replace Justin Meram.
More moves are on the offing for the Crew. Designated Player Federico Higuain arrived Wednesday morning from Argentina and was at the match. He is expected to debut Sunday at Houston.
Columbus will now look ahead to a Sunday trip to Houston and the possible debut of Designated Player Federico Higuaín. The Galaxy host FC Dallas on Sunday Aug. 26.

Somersworth man indicted for making bomb threats
By JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent
— A Somersworth man was indicted by a Strafford County grand jury on charges that he made two bomb threats at two busy locations in May.
Gary Goss, 48, of 70 Colonial Village, Somersworth, was charged with two false reports as to explosives after he allegedly made two calls within a 45-minute period on May 8, to a 15-year-old at The Works Athletic Club and a 59-year-old at Walmart, telling them that a bomb was present and would explode.Police responded to The Works on Route 108 after the first bomb threat was reported at 7:55 a.m. As officers responded to the gym, police contacted the facility to alert them and evacuate the building.While emergency personnel were finishing up at The Works, the second call was made to the nearby Walmart on Union Street. That store was also evacuated and searched, but no explosives were found at either location.Police arrested Goss May 11.
Goss allegedly made the calls, knowing the report to be false, according to the indictments, which the grand jury handed up July 18. He is scheduled to appear at an arraignment Aug. 1 at 9 a.m.Each count of making false reports is a Class B Felony and could result in up to 3½ to 7 years in prison, if he is convicted.

Carey's memory will Rock On at Beech Street, as basketball court to be renovated
Miguel Gonzalez takes a break from a scrimage on Friday evening in Manchester. Gonzalez is a good friend of Sam Carey and looks forward to playing in the game. "It's the one game I look forward to all year. Sam was a brother to me, he was part of the family" said Gonzalez. (Bruce Preston / Union Leader)
John Habib's City Sports: Court project would make Sam Carey proud
THERE'S still Fisher Cats baseball being played at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium, the University of New Hampshire football team has opened camp, and, before you know it, the Manchester Monarchs will be back for preseason training.
So let's talk basketball.
The third annual
Sam Carey
New Hampshire All-Star Classic, benefitting the Rock On Foundation, will take place on Friday, Aug. 22 at 6 p.m. at Manchester High School Central.
Rosters include former New England high school, college and pro players, along with current prep school players who all knew Carey. They, along with the community, continue to support the game aimed at raising money for basketball projects around the Queen City.
"The Carey family has been very blessed with the Sam Carey Classic and the support of the Manchester community and the Rock On Foundation," said Sam's father,
Owen Carey
. "Sam had a real heart for the kids throughout Manchester, and the fact that this game is going to help renovate a basketball court in his honor is such a blessing."
Carey, who played for Manchester Central and Southern New Hampshire University (inducted into the SNHU Athletic Hall of Fame in 2014), died in a car accident in 2011. He was traveling home from Canada where he played for the Quebec Kebs of the National Basketball League of Canada.
"Sam was a very special member of the community," said
Luke Bonner,
Rock On Foundation's executive director. "He was beloved in Manchester and beyond. The outpouring of support this event receives each year really shows the impact and influence Sam continues to have on people's lives here."
BST Basketball will be donating proceeds from this year's event to the Rock On Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit organization founded by Luke Bonner and his brother, the San Antonio Spurs'
Matt Bonner.
Combined with the $3,000 raised at last year's event, Rock On plans to use the proceeds to renovate a public Manchester basketball court.
Former Central and SNHU standout
Mike Stys
, one of the organizers of the Carey Classic, said this year's event will help renovate the basketball court at Beech Street School.
"There will be a prep school all-star game at 6 p.m." said Stys. "The alumni game will follow at 7 p.m., involving former players who had successful college careers and some professional experience."

The Agency of Natural Resources, DEC Solid Waste Program has awarded $45,000 to four nonprofit groups to support school recycling and composting programs across the state. These grants facilitate implementation of Vermont's Universal Recycling Law, Act 148 of 2012, which requires phased-in recycling and composting statewide over the next 5 years.
"We've been working with schools to find out what children eat at lunch, often by looking at what they throw away. Universal Recycling will help those efforts by asking children to sort their food waste from other recyclables and landfill bound materials. This school grant from the state is a great opportunity for our UVM team of students to help schools develop sustainable composting and recycling programs. Our students love spending time in school cafeterias!" said Bethany Yon Phd., Research Associate, Nutrition and Food Sciences, University of Vermont.
ANR awarded four grants of $11,250 each to: the University of Vermont for work with schools in the Rutland and Colchester regions; the Northeast Recycling Council for work with schools in the Bennington region; the Windham Solid Waste Management District for work with schools in the Brattleboro region; and to the Northeast Kingdom Waste Management District for work with schools in the NEK region.

Manslaughter indictment for fatal assault at The Page Restaurant in PortsmouthBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
July 17. 2013 2:12PM
BRENTWOOD – A man police say leveled a fatal punch that killed 24-year-old Joshua Krantz during an unprovoked assault at The Page Restaurant in Portsmouth has been indicted for manslaughter, according to prosecutors.
Zachary O'Neill, 24, was indicted on the charge along with a single count of first-degree assault in connection with the fatal attack that police say was spurred by a spilled drink during the early morning hours of April 6.
O'Neill, who has been held in jail since his arrest, faces up to 18 ½ to 33 years in state prison if he is convicted by a jury on the manslaughter charge.
Krantz was found dead in his Dover apartment hours after he was hit. O'Neill was initially charged with first-degree assault.
The state Medical Examiner's Office ruled that Krantz's death was a homicide, caused by an acute epidural hematoma that occurred as a result of his skull being fractured.
The Page closed its doors permanently on June 21 once the city filed a petition with the state Liquor Commission to terminate the bar's liquor license in the wake of Krantz's death.
The corporation that operated the Page, New Adventure Entertainment, is also fighting an indictment in superior court for allegedly serving alcohol to patrons in a restricted area on the night of the attack.
The corporation could face upwards of $100,000 on each of the two charges it faces.
A lawyer for the corporation has asked a judge to dismiss the case.

Should you buy that extended warranty offered at checkout?
(NBC) -- It has become a rite of passage in retail.
When you've made a big-ticket purchase of appliances or electronic equipment the next thing the store wants to sell you is the extended warranty.
"One reason stores push them so hard is that there's just a huge profit margin on them, 50% in some cases, a lot more than they make on the products themselves," explains Consumer Reports' Greg Daugherty.
Daugherty led research at Consumer Reports on the value of extended warranties and concluded it's best to just say no.
"Even if you do have one and try to use it, sometimes you get a run-around, it might take a long time to get the product repaired," he says. "You might find it very hard to take it any place if there's no place near you. So, there are any number of stumbling blocks, even if you do have this coverage and you need to use it"
He says extended warranties are often unnecessary because reputable manufacturers stand behind their products.
"Very often, they will try to fix it even outside of the warranty, just to keep you as a satisfied customer and to protect their brand," Daugherty adds.
Homeowners insurance can offer riders for extended coverage as well, and definitely check the contract with your credit card company.
"Depending on the kind of credit card you have, and we urge consumers to look and make sure, but very often, you will get some sort of extended warranty coverage with a credit card," Daugherty says.
Another alternative is to insure yourself with a repair or replacement fund in your bank account.
