The New York City Marathon had yet to be canceled when local runner Mary Pat Smith expressed to Hambletonian Marathon race director Kathleen Rifkin her reservations about running New York on Sunday.
The New York City Marathon had yet to be canceled when local runner Mary Pat Smith expressed to Hambletonian Marathon race director Kathleen Rifkin her reservations about running New York on Sunday.
Smith, who lives in the Village of Florida, struggled with the ethical decision to run amid the chaos caused by Hurricane Sandy. Smith told Rifkin that she was thinking about running the Hambletonian course instead. Rifkin said she would provide a support vehicle if Smith wanted to do it.
The Hambletonian Marathon fun run was born.
Rifkin, deep into preparations for the Hambo's debut next October, will be on hand for Smith and all others who want to run the course at 8 a.m. Sunday. There is no charge and Rifkin will pass out fluids and GU energy gel. At least one other runner planned to join Smith on the 26.2-mile adventure.
"This run felt like the right thing to do,'' said Rifkin, who has run New York City twice among her 21 marathons. "I don't know if people are going to come out or not. It could be bigger or it could be a couple people.''
The course starts in front of Limoncello at the Orange Inn, in Goshen, and finishes in front of the grandstand at Goshen Historic Track. It will run through parts of the Town of Wallkill, Town and Village of Chester and the Town of Hamptonburgh. The Hambletonian, set for Oct. 20, 2013, represents the first local 26.2-miler since the Warwick Marathon in the mid-1990s.
"Why not do it?'' Rifkin said. "We have the course. It's marked. Let's do it.''
Race officials organized a trial run on the course three weeks ago, Hambletonian 0, that included 15 participants. Five runners did the entire course while others ran parts of it as a long training run. The official Hambletonian Marathon already has 62 registrants and two relay teams entered.

For a taste of summer come winter, put aside summer tomatoes now, by slow-roasting the tomatoes for a long time – yes, a long, long, LONG time, no measly couple of hours. After testing many batches of slow-roasted tomatoes, I finally fixed upon the perfect combination of time and temperature, oil and herbs, a collection of tips and techniques. Slow-Roasted Tomatoes are something really special ... don't let the tomato season pass by without a batch or two or three. Or four.
'Low and slow.'
Good cooks know the formula works for summer barbecue and Thanksgiving turkeys. But tomatoes?
Easy-to-find recipes for roasted tomatoes range from 200F to 400F and 45 minutes to eight hours. But two years ago, I became obsessed with discovering the perfect time and temperature for tomatoes. Truth be told, it took 17 batches to fix on 12 hours (yes, hours, yes, a half day) and 200F.
The right tomatoes are important. Only a meaty tomato can withstand a long roast. Visit CJ's Produce at the Kirkwood Farmers Market for locally grown Cascade and Roma tomatoes.
Herbs are important but dried herbs are preferable. My favorite blend is Italian seasoning and fennel seed.
A touch of oil encourages caramelization. Salt boosts flavor and pepper adds a measure of heat.
But without question, the only requirements are temperature and time. Low and slow.
Once a few pounds of tomatoes are put aside, the real magic is in the cooking. Every single dish I've made with slow-roasted tomatoes has been a stand-out. Think tomato soup, spaghetti sauce, lamb stew, eggplant Parmigiana, homemade pizza, fast pasta suppers and rich lasagna.
Think delicious. Think low and slow. Good cooks now know, it is, indeed, the way to go.
Oven time: 10 - 12 hours
Makes about 2 cups
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons mixed dried herbs (Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, sage or thyme)
- 1 tablespoon fennel seed
- 4 pounds meaty tomatoes (Cascade or Roma)
- Unpeeled cloves of garlic, optional
- Freshly ground pepper
Set oven to 200F. Drizzle a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and seasonings.
Halve the tomatoes lengthwise, leaving the stem socket on one side so after roasting, the skins slip off more easily.
Rub each cut side in the oil and herbs, then arrange cut-side down in a single layer, butted together. Tuck in garlic cloves. Sprinkle tomato tops with salt and pepper.
Roast for 10 to 12 hours. If roasting two trays at once, swap racks after 6 to 8 hours. Let cool. Slip off and discard skins. Use within 2 to 3 days or freeze.
How to Slow-Roast Tomatoes
• Photo 2 - Drizzle baking sheet(s) with olive oil and dried herbs. I've tested more oil, it really isn't necessary for the slow-cooking time releases so much flavor. Dried herbs stand up better to the long time in the oven. To my taste, fennel is essential.
• Photo 3 - Halve the tomatoes, cutting beside not through the stem socket. This makes it easier, after roasting, to remove the skins.
• Photo 4 - After cutting a tomato in half, rub the cut side down in the oil and herbs, then begin to arrange tightly in a single layer.
• Photo 5 - Fill the tray. Tuck in unpeeled garlic cloves if you like. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Photo 6 - This photo was taken after only 7 hours. The first time you roast tomatoes, check them every hour or so since oven temperatures (and tomato moisture) do vary. I've never had trouble but know people who've burned their first batches. I usually roast tomatoes overnight, putting them on at supper, pulling them out of the oven before starting work in the morning. The house will smell like a tomato factory!
• More - Slip off the skins, this is slightly easier when they're warm. Be sure to work over something to collect the roasted tomato flesh and the juices. I pack each tray's yield into a freezer bag, squeeze out the air and then freeze flat.
• Now the fun part - on my food blog for vegetable recipes called A Veggie Venture, see all the many recipes using slow-roasted tomatoes.

The other cool thing is they freeze well so you have have that same wonderful taste in January.
Glad to know I can freeze them!
If they taste good, go for it. But I'd be a little concerned that even with moistness, they might taste a little scorched. You'll still find a way to use them but it won't be as tomato-ey as ones full of real tomato essence.
With yours, do you have to reconstitute them? I'm thinking my tomatoes are somewhere in-bewteen roasted and dried.
And no, no reconstituting is required. They're roasted, not dried, and are completely moist and fat, more like sun-dried tomatoes soaked in oil except fatter and deeper-still taste-wise.

UPDATE: Mayor Steve Hogan says in an interview in his office that victims come first, the fights can wait.
Debbie Fountain, the mayor of Alamo, Ga., has watched tragedies unfold on TV and, as a former cop, witnessed them personally herself.
But there was something about what happened at the movie theater shooting in Aurora, Colo., that shook Fountain, something hard for her to explain.
"I just prayed and thought, 'What can we do? We're a little town,'" she said.
So the city sent flowers, a gesture much appreciated in Aurora, where city officials looked up information about Alamo. It turns out the city's population is 2,797.
"Your city touched our hearts," Fountain said today in a phone interview. "We just wanted you to know that we're thinking of y'all and hoping your city gets back to normal as soon as possible."

Take Zack Snyder off the shortlist of directors vying to helm one of the three new "Star Wars" movies that are now in the works.
The director of "Watchmen" and "Man of Steel" knows a thing or two about spectacle and handling massive franchises with a rabid fan following, but taking on "Star Wars" may be too daunting, even for him.
"I don't think I'd be interested in [directing it]," Snyder said during a recent interview. "I'm a huge 'Star Wars' fanatic. I just think doing [episodes] seven, eight and nine is just a slippery slope. It's a whole other mythological experiment I'm excited to see, but it's a lot of effort."
PHOTOS: 'Star Wars' at the box office
Word of the new films came Oct. 30 with the announcement that the Walt Disney Co. had agreed to acquire Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion. The first of the new series, Episode VII, is due in theaters in 2015, and with George Lucas serving only as a "creative consultant," speculation has been rampant about who might take the reins of the franchise behind the camera.
Currently, fans are buzzing about the possibility that "Kick-Ass" director Matthew Vaughn could be a favorite for the job, given his recent unexpected departure from the upcoming "X-Men" sequel. But Vaughn's participation is only speculative at this point.
Snyder, of course, will be back in the multiplex himself very soon with "Man of Steel," his take on the Superman legend starring Henry Cavill, which will fly into theaters in 3-D next summer.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Saudi Arabia says two more people have died from a new respiratory virus related to SARS, bringing the total number of deaths to at least 34 in the kingdom at the center of the growing outbreak.
Overall, more than 40 people have died from the virus since September, most of them in Europe and the Middle East. That's according to local officials and the World Health Organization.
The Saudi Health Ministry also said Wednesday that three patients with the virus have recovered, in a further sign that treatments are working.
The new virus is related to SARS, which killed some 800 people in a global outbreak in 2003. It belongs to a family of viruses that most often causes the common cold.

Game Are Just One Week Away, Enjoy a Video from the Cubs' First Full-Squad Workout
In one week from today, the Chicago Cubs open their Cactus League slate against the Milwaukee Brewers. Sure, it's just Spring Training baseball, but it'll be a game. Of baseball. Featuring the 2016 Chicago Cubs.
I cannot wait.
In the interim, I'm happy to settle for a packaged video of the Cubs' first full workout day, because it features Cubs players doing thing roughly associated with baseball, like throwing, hitting and catching. Good enough for me today:
Our first full-squad workout is in the books. Can't wait to get back at it tomorrow! https://t.co/B4HBxcCT7J #LetsGohttps://t.co/ZrcVRb9jEv

Dance, fools, dance--in 3D!
Unexpectedly good, "Step Up 3D" is one of the rare novelty items tied to its time and place, while connected to another cinematic period altogether.
Long before Michael Jackson, Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas teamed up for the theme park featurette "Captain EO" (1986), 3-D enjoyed its first official vogue in the early 1950s. Musicals got in on the action, as did virtually every other genre coming out of the Hollywood factories.
Remember "Those Redheads From Seattle," from the bumper-crop year of 1953? Most do not, so go easy on yourself. It starred Rhonda Fleming, Gene Barry and Agnes Moorehead, in a lark set in the Klondike during the gold rush. At that point in Hollywood's history, meantime, no one knew how long the 3-D gold rush would continue. (Answer: Not as long as it seemed like it would; another couple of years.)
Will our current 3-D craze outrun it by a little, or a lot?
Quality matters. When moviegoers turn out in sufficient droves or drove-ettes to make "Clash of the Titans" profitable, we are telling Hollywood quality does not matter. Like Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" (which I liked) and many others, "Titans" was a straight conversion job, shot in 2-D and repurposed for 3-D in postproduction. It looked like a cynical cash-in. And it wasn't enough of a movie, period.
The same went for "The French Line" (1953), producer Howard Hughes' 3-D vehicle showcasing Jane Russell in an insipid musical of a Texas millionairess finding love with Gilbert Roland. "She'll knock both your eyes out!" was how the ad campaign put it. Yes, well. The censors took all the close-ups of Russell in a bikini in the climactic number "Lookin' for Trouble," but they left in all the driftwood dialogue, and shots of Russell blowing soap suds at the camera.
The only 3-D musical of that era with anything like a reputation came from MGM: "Kiss Me Kate" (1953), director George Sidney's adaptation of the 1948 Cole Porter hit. All the hallmarks of 3-D gimmickry are there, albeit sparingly. Performers throw scarves at the screen and then get back to business.
Ann Miller and the boys in "Kiss Me Kate" (1953).
A second-tier MGM effort, "Kiss Me Kate" does have a few classic minutes. Energized by Bob Fosse and Carol Haney (and Fosse's own choreography), the "From This Moment On" number plays — and dances — as if from another film, or planet, altogether. It's dynamic and sexy and amazing. Tellingly, it doesn't go out of its way to exploit the 3-D process. It simply is three-dimensionally fabulous, even in two dimensions.
However corny and formulaic, "Step Up 3D" was shot in 3-D, not simply converted from 2-D, so the dance sequences exploit depth of field aggressively and well. And guess what? Often times you can actually see the entire body of the dancer from head to toe in motion. Director Jon Chu doesn't mask the shortcomings of its onscreen dancers with ADD-style editing, at least not often.
No classic, but lots of fun. Years from now this poster image will scream "2010."
I want to see it "flat" to determine how much works without the 3-D, and in what ways. Meantime, I hope it's a success. "Step Up 3D" makes me think 3-D and musicals really can go together. Steven Soderbergh, who has tried to get a 3-D musical version of "Cleopatra" going for several years now, told one interviewer: "I've been frustrated by all the recent musicals. I miss the technical proficiency of the long takes of the camera, where you're not disguising the inability of the performers to sing and dance. I miss that.
And if there were ever a genre to be ready-made for 3-D, it's the musical."

I'm just wondering how much dairy you all give your little ones? We are doing BLS, she likes cheese a lot, and she still bf several times a day plus a lot overnight. I think she is teething/getting ready to walk soon since she is nursing ALL NIGHT LONG lately! Oh, by the way, she just turn a year on Jan. 6th.
I was just reading on babycenter that the APA recommends babies over a year drink 16oz but no more than 24oz a day of cow milk. This seems like a crazy amount of milk! She hasn't had any cows milk yet, and I don't really see a need as long as she is nursing (although I'm not opposed to it, we are a big milk drinking family).
The article said they recommend the milk for fat and calcium, so I'm just wondering what you all do. I know a lot of you don't do cows milk either. If so, do you make sure your lo's get lots of other dairy, or is breastmilk enough?

Mark Hayward's City Matters: Veteran principal helps Manchester West High find its prideBY MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
May 01. 2013 10:11PM
As a Manchester high school principal for more than two decades, John Rist has confronted his share of unruly students, scheduling snafus, problem teachers and (what seems the biggest issue in Manchester) struggling football teams.
But this year, Rist - the veteran principal who came out of retirement in February to head Manchester High School West - has another box on his to-do list: reinvigorate a high school.
No doubt, West High is in a funk.
Since September, it has generated the juicy, tawdry news stories that everyone loves to read, except those connected to the school. A well-liked principal pushed out for secret reasons. A coach accused of dalliance with a student. The highest dropout rate in the state. Recurring rumors the school will close.
"The positive kids don't get recognition in this building. The negativity is overwhelming," grumbled Jim McGeough, a veteran mathematics teacher, during my visit this week.
"There's so much good about this place," Rist said in his office, recently recoated in beige paint to cover up the pink favored by his predecessor, MaryEllen McGorry. "We've suffered under a strain of negativity. I don't think people know anything about us anymore."
Rist, 63, is known for his deep, bark-like voice that masks a somewhat softer demeanor. A Connecticut resident, he started his New Hampshire career in 1982 at the New Skills Center.
As principal, he had it rechristened Manchester School of Technology. In the fall of 2002, he landed the premiere principal job in Manchester schools - Central High principal - and stayed for 10 years.
There, he won accreditation for the school and pushed up student involvement. Test scores rose, dropout rates fell, and in what he has said is his biggest accomplishment, the school's intangible quality of Central Pride flourished.
His job across the river is harder.
Give him 10 years, he may be able to do the same for West. But Rist is more than halfway through his roughly 18 weeks at the helm at West. So he has become part pitch man, part motivational speaker for the school.
Several students praised Rist for the enthusiasm and motivation he has brought to the school.
"He's everywhere. He knows exactly what he needs from students and gets it," said Rachel Avard, a junior.
In fact, students said McGorry seemed to focus on problem students, where Rist makes more of an effort to reach everyone.
On his first day at West, he shook the hand of every student and teacher, said senior Cordel Rubio. ("Kind of unsanitary," he added.) And at the end of the winter grading period, Rist gave ice cream to every student on the honor roll and principal's list.
"Mrs. McGorry was definitely more strict. Mr. Rist came in on a more personal level," said MacKenzie Keefe, another senior.
Rist said if he's going to jump start West's psyche, he has to reach everyone. But that doesn't mean he is ignoring struggling students.
West has the highest dropout rate in the state - 18 percent over four years. A student who cuts school today is tomorrow's drop out, so Rist said he calls parents when a student doesn't show up for school. Some work with him, others say they can't reach their child.
"Everyone who works here is to blame for the dropout rate. Everyone who works here is to blame for the failure rate. We have to take ownership of that," Rist said.
Rist said he is a strong supporter of Common Core, which he believes will deliver more depth of knowledge to the study of math and English. And he expects valuable suggestions will emerge when the Center for Secondary School Reform releases its year-long study into the climate and culture at the school.
Rist said West's small size, 1,100 students, is an advantage. Fewer students mean fewer fights, less graffiti and a cleaner building, he said.
Most people who try out for a team get a spot. And the cohesiveness of the West Side means that most people at West have grown up together.
Stephen Houle, a social studies teacher retiring after 39 years at West, said Rist brought stability to the school. He said the two assistant principals were overwhelmed when McGorry was put on paid leave, and Rist's arrival took the pressure off them.
He said the faculty trusts Rist.
As for the future, Rist rules out staying on. He's already given up a lot for the West job, he said. Balance his 32-hour, $90-an-hour salary, he said, against the fact he can't collect Social Security. He has to pay for his benefits. And he also gave up volunteer positions on the state Board of Education, the Central Pride Foundation and the Central High ski team.
Leadership is what is needed for the next principal, Rist said. That's as simple as keeping a high profile, motivating people and giving them a pat on the back when they do well. Already, he said, the failure rate has dropped a little and the honor roll has grown.
But can West cultivate the Central Pride that Rist so admires? "This is not Central, no," he said, frankly.
But the school has a long legacy and a lot of positives, he said. They include the city's only Junior ROTC program, an award-winning theater program, and Ivy League placement for top grads.
It just has to keep trumpeting its triumphs, Rist said.
"I'm sure there's a Hall of Fame here," he said, "but I don't know where it is."

See the MDC? More oversight for development group
June 11. 2013 4:49PM
The Manchester Development Corporation (MDC) operates largely behind the scenes and with little public review, though it loans public money, mostly to private interests. Its oversight is surprisingly lax.
With $1 million in seed money from the sale of city-owned land at the airport back in 1985, the MDC invests in economic development ventures. There have been some high-profile projects, such as the redevelopment of the Pandora Mill building, the Chase Block and UNH-Manchester. (How much credit MDC deserves for these projects is for another debate.)
MDC loans are supposed to be approved by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen before they are made. That requirement is in the MDC's bylaws. But the group does not appear to have been abiding by it. Aldermen were surprised to learn last week that an MDC loan to an existing Elm Street restaurant — XO on Elm — had already been approved. The loan had been approved by the mayor's office, where the city office that oversees the MDC, the city economic development office, had been relocated earlier this year.
The loan to XO was unusual in that it went to an existing business. The MDC was intended to develop new business activity. It is unclear whether its issuance prior to aldermanic approval also was unusual.
The idea that the city can and should stimulate economic development by lending public money to entrepreneurs and developers is questionable at best. If it is to do so, that lending plainly needs public oversight. Aldermen need to review the MDC's records to learn whether it has been lending without the required approval. They then need to see that the organization's practices are more transparent. Its minutes and agendas need to be posted online (they are not now), its board members listed (they are not now), its meetings posted and open to the public, and its proposed loans reviewed by the city's elected officials.

Southland residents will likely wake up Wednesday morning to snow-capped mountains at low elevations, but the sun is expected to break through by afternoon.
Dark skies and wind threatened Tuesday, with the heaviest rains and snow expected overnight, weather forecasters said.
Before the system moves out of the area, up to an inch of rain is expected to fall, along with occasional thunderstorms, hail and a heavy punch of snow coating the mountain areas.
A winter weather warning called for up to 6 inches of snow at elevations as low as 2,500 feet, with another 2 inches falling at the 5,000-foot level, according to AccuWeather meteorologist Brian Edwards.
Accumulating snow will most likely affect travel on major roadways into or through the mountains, including portions of Interstate 5 and portions of Highway 14 through the Soledad Pass between the Santa Clarita Valley and the Antelope Valley, officials say.
Snow is expected to fall so low on local mountains that the Ortega Highway in eastern Orange County – which crests at 2,600 feet just west of Lake Elsinore – has been added to a list of mountain passes that might be impacted, officials with the National Weather Service said.
North of Los Angeles, heavy snow and blizzard winds are expected along Interstate 5, which is above the 2,000-foot level for about 40 miles in the mountains north of Castaic.
Sixty-mph winds were forecast for the Grapevine, and isolated snow-thunderstorms could develop and drop more than a foot of snow in some places, the NWS warned.
Public works and highway officials issued warnings to drivers and in some cases closed mountain roads, including: Big Tujunga Road between Vogel Flats Road and Angeles Forest Highway; the Angeles Forest from Aliso Canyon to the Angeles Crest Highway; and Upper Big Tujunga from Angeles Forest Highway to Angeles Crest Highway.
Icy road conditions prompted the call for chain restrictions on a fourth road in the forest, Mount Wilson Red Box Road from Video Road to Angeles Crest Highway, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works.
Battering winds along the Golden State (5) Freeway through the Grapevine prompted Caltrans to issue a warning to motorists in campers, recreational vehicles and large trucks.
Caltrans and L.A. County public works officials will continue to monitor the storm before lifting any warnings or putting any roads back in service, officials said Tuesday.
Along with the wet and windy conditions along the coast and in the inland valley areas, temperatures will have a chilly edge.
Temperatures dropped to the mid-40s along the coast Tuesday and were anchored in the upper 30s in the valleys, Edwards said.
Today's temperatures should reach about 68 degrees along the coast, but linger in the mid-50s inland.
Tonight, temperatures are expected to fall again below freezing, while the coast will be in the low 40s, Edwards said, adding that conditions will remain frigid Thursday and Friday before warming to moderate weather over the weekend.

Video of Houston man diving for fish in home flooded by Hurricane Harvey goes viral
A Houston man made sure the intruder swimming in his family's flooded home didn't get very far.
The uninvited guest? A small fish.
Houston resident Viviana Saldana found a humorous way to deal with flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. On Saturday she posted a series of amusing videos to social media showing the bare-chested man flopping into a foot of water to catch the errant fish.
"Why go out looking for food when the food is coming to our living room?" Saldana wrote on Facebook.
The videos have received more than 26 million views as of Monday afternoon.
The man eventually captured the fish by its tail with his bare hands after several unsuccessful attempts.

DUBLIN (AP) — Bearing rosary beads and placards declaring "Kill the bill! Not the child," more than 35,000 anti-abortion activists marched Saturday through Dublin to demand that the Irish government scrap plans to legalize terminations for women in life-threatening pregnancies.
Demonstrators from across Ireland, a predominantly Catholic island of 6.5 million, marched for two hours through the capital to Leinster House, the parliament building, where lawmakers next week are expected pass the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill. Speakers demanded that the government put its bill to a national referendum. "Let us vote!" the crowd chanted.
The two-year-old coalition government of Prime Minister Enda Kenny drafted the bill following last year's death of a miscarrying woman in an Irish hospital. Three investigations since have determined that Savita Halappanavar, a 31-year-old Indian dentist, died from blood poisoning one week after admission for a miscarriage. Doctors denied her pleas for an abortion, even though her uterus had ruptured, because the 17-week-old fetus still had a heartbeat. By the time it stopped, investigations concluded, Halappanavar already had contracted a lethal dose of septicemia.
Justice Minister Alan Shatter said Saturday that, had the bill been law last year, Halappanavar might have received a prompt abortion and survived. He appealed to anti-abortion rebels in the main government Fine Gael party to accept the bill or abstain from the final vote expected Wednesday night. The bill received overwhelming backing in an initial vote this week.
Ireland outlaws abortion, a position underscored by a 1986 referendum amending the constitution to declare that the unborn have a right to life. But the Supreme Court in 1992 ruled that the constitution equally defends the pregnant woman's right to live, therefore life-saving abortions were legal.
Crucially, Ireland's highest court said this meant a woman should receive an abortion even if the only threat to her life was caused by her own suicide threats. Six governments since have refused to pass legislation backing that 1992 judgment, leaving obstetricians divided and confused over whether certain life-saving abortions can be performed legally.
In 2011, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Ireland's failure to legislate meant pregnant women in dangerous medical conditions were forced to travel overseas, chiefly to neighboring England, for abortions. It said travel and bureaucratic delays meant some women's medical conditions worsened unnecessarily.
The government bill would permit an abortion for a suicidal woman if a panel of three doctors — one obstetrician and two psychiatrists — unanimously agree that the woman's threats are real. Abortion rights advocates say this rule means women in such circumstances still will travel to England, where abortion was legalized in 1967.
But those marching Saturday warned that women would conspire with sympathetic doctors to fake suicide threats, putting Ireland on a slippery slope to wider abortion access. Ireland is just one of two European Union members, alongside Malta, that outlaws the practice.
Before the march, Catholic Archbishop Diarmuid Martin led a central Dublin church in prayers for Ireland to keep abortion illegal. But in a nuanced sermon Martin told the crowd, among them families sitting on the floor beside packed pews, that pro-life campaigners must be careful not to come across as heartless to those on the other side of the debate.
Martin said those seeking to keep abortion out of Ireland must make their case "not through slogans but through the witness of life that we give." If not, he said, "what we say will appear, to quote Pope Francis, as being cold, impersonal and oppressive for people's day-to-day lives."

Dan Parises wanted to be a lawyer.
Dan Parises wanted to be a lawyer.
That is, until the age of 17, when his Greek-immigrant father died.
His mother spoke only broken English and couldn't drive, so despite his young age Parises found himself running the family farm in Lodi.
He never did go to law school, but Parises - who died Saturday at the age of 75 - later found his niche crafting public policy as one of the longest-tenured elected officials in this region. He served first as a San Joaquin County supervisor, and then for 33 years as a trustee at San Joaquin Delta College, while also running unsuccessfully three times for state Assembly.
"He really was a great critical thinker," his daughter, Angela Brusa, said Wednesday. "And being born and raised here, close to the community and the land as a farmer, he really was very interested in giving back in the ways that he could."
Born in Lodi, Parises attended Lodi schools and Stockton College.
"Unfortunately that was cut short because he had to take care of the family," Brusa said. "Although I think it was difficult for him, I heard him say many times that looking back it was a different kind of education, a wonderful education."
Indeed, Parises once joked that he had a "master's degree in practical experience."
Even as his grapes and row crops grew, seeds of a political kind were planted as Parises served on the board of the Lodi Young Farmers Association.
He would ultimately be elected county supervisor in 1970.
A proud conservative, he called for lower taxes and small government, once writing that "government which governs least and is closest to the people governs best."
Parises was not just another bland politician. "Some department heads don't use their heads," he said in 1971, after cattle were removed from Oak Grove Park and the grass grew over 3 feet tall.
Late to a supervisors' meeting in 1972, Parises complained about the elevators at the county courthouse. "We have a $5 million facility here and you can't even get an elevator to go to the seventh floor?"
Supervisors directed staff to improve the lifts.
Parises was never successful in his bid for higher office, though he was endorsed by Ronald Reagan in 1976.
Some would walk away from such a string of defeats, but instead Parises served more than three decades as a Delta trustee.
"He loved the college and he loved the fellow trustees," said his son, Paul Parises.
Dan Parises decided not to run for yet another term in 2008, following a grand jury report highly critical of the board's decision to build a campus in remote Mountain House.
Yet even then, he refused to disappear, as he chose to serve on what was then a highly dysfunctional Lodi-area water board.
Most recently, Parises fulfilled a lifelong dream by starting a winery. He lived long enough to see the St. Sophia Zinfandel win platinum "Best of Class" at the Lodi 2012 Consumer's Wine Awards. He considered that a tribute to the family's Greek and Italian roots, his daughter said.
Parises came down with pneumonia in December and died at Lodi Memorial Hospital. He is survived by his wife, Elisa, and two children and three grandchildren.
A funeral service is planned for 11 a.m. Tuesday at St. Basil Greek Orthodox Church, where Parises was a longtime member.

Revision as of 03:34, 18 March 2013 by Eriknorthrop (Talk | contribs) (→General)
Network forensics is the process of capturing information that moves over a network and trying to make sense of it in some kind of forensics capacity. A network forensics appliance is a device that automates this process.
There are both open source and proprietary network forensics systems available.

1934: The 1st March Jean-Michel Folon born in Uccle, Brussels.
2005 : A review of his work Folon Firenze is organized in the city of Florence: more than 300 works are exposed to the Drill hall of Palazzo Vecchio and to Forte di Belvedere.

The Moab City Council this week approved a 6.25 percent increase in fees charged for solid waste collection by Bob's Sanitation. The new rates will go into effect Oct. 1.
During a recent public hearing, Robert Hawks, president of Bob's Sanitation, told the council that his costs have increased significantly over the last few years.
"Inflation has hit pretty hard," Hawks said. He said the prices of fuel and tires have gone up, and while the landfill fees haven't gone up, the amount that he's taking to the landfill has increased.
"It's just almost impossible to make a living," he said.
To receive the rate adjustment, Hawks was required to submit financial information to the council proving the necessity for the increase. "This financial information indicates the contractor's costs have increased by at least six percent since the last rate increase," a memo prepared by Moab city staff said.
In a letter to the council, Hawks said this increase was the first one his company has requested in seven years. It amounts to an extra $12 per year on residential services. Rates will increase by the same percentage on commercial services as well, Hawks said.
"It's a small increase," city council member Gregg Stucki said during the Tuesday, Sept. 10 meeting. "We're always concerned when things are increasing, but having seen some of the costs that Bob's Sanitation is dealing with – healthcare, tires, other things have increased very dramatically. I think this is very reasonable."
Hawks said he is grateful to the council, as well as all the people who have supported Bob's Sanitation throughout the years.
"It's going to hurt some people, but hopefully everything will work out," he said.
Hawks said customers in the county will see a similar increase.
"[The rates will change] everywhere I serve," he said. "I treat the county the same as I treat the city."

An aircraft parts manufacturer required three axes of movement in one lift and turned to Handling Specialty for the solution. The system consists of two lifts: The main lift has a vertical travel of 60" and consists of two large high speed hydraulic scissor lifts mounted in tandem. The second lift sits on top of the main lift and has two line-shaft synchronized mechanical scissor lifts. Traversing the actual lift platform are hydraulically-synchronized linear actuators.
A 240" cart with a basket of parts is rolled onto the platform when the system is at its lowest position. The main hydraulic lift extends to raise the cart quickly to its final height. The secondary mechanical screw lift then takes over, precisely raising the cart and basket above the power and free hangers. The cart and basket are then translated horizontally and the basket is lowered, by the auxiliary lift, onto the flight bars. The overhead conveyor system removes the basket and transfers it to the plating tanks.

One of the tragic consequences of Christmas is that almost every holiday season someone is going to decide it's stylish to wear a blue tie with a red and white Santa on it, a little heftier than normal and wedged in the top of a chimney.
One of the tragic consequences of Christmas is that almost every holiday season someone is going to decide it's stylish to wear a blue tie with a red and white Santa on it, a little heftier than normal and wedged in the top of a chimney.
"No, I haven't been eating the cookies," the fat Santa will be telling Mrs. Claus on his cell phone.
My advice is put the tie back in the drawer, grab some solid-colored neckwear, medium width, and move on to New Year's, when all we have to do is watch out not to wear cone-shaped hats and carry noise-makers.
The same advice applies, by the way, to wearing elf shoes. Trust me, nothing goes with elf shoes, especially feet.
I don't know what it is about the holidays that makes normally conservative dressers abandon all fashion sense in favor of forms of clothing that are way too seasonable for our own good.
You know it happens. The world couldn't support as many "Ugly Sweater" contests as it does without a steady supply of Christmas garments. I have one sweater with reindeer all over it that is looking like a prize winner.
I admonish us all for wearing this abundance of Christmas clothing, knowing that I am a prime offender. I've donned my share of Santa hats and headed out in public — without a care in mind about what the guys sitting in cars next to me at stoplights are thinking about my attire.
Check your closets if you really believe you avoid this disturbing holiday fashion trend. Do you see any red vests with snowman buttons hanging in there? How about battery-operated reindeer ties on which Rudolph's nose lights up? Please don't tell me that you own a pair of pants that has one green and one red leg.
If there are more than one snowflake sweater in your dresser drawers — or, worse yet, red sweaters with green grinches on the front — you have a clothing issue that probably will make you say, "Oh, that's sort of cute," before you dig deeper to see if you have matching socks.
That tolerant thinking is part of the problem, of course. We get caught up in our holiday occasions and don't think about clothing decisions that may lead to an embarrassing fashion faux pas.
Here are some revealing questions you might want to ask yourself before you go out to celebrate Christmas.
Are you a member of a Christmas couple that at some sort of holiday social event will wear matching "lump of coal" sweaters that have arrows pointing toward the husband or wife standing next to you?
Have you ever worn boxer shorts with candy canes or gingerbread men all over them?
Do you own earrings shaped like Christmas trees?
I think you know what "yes" answers to any of those questions means.
It means the rest of us are wondering where you got all this good stuff.

The main suspect in the stabbing murder of two gay sex workers in Guyana's capital of Georgetown last week died on Sunday, July 20 at Georgetown Hospital after confessing to the murders and setting himself on fire.
News Source reports 31-year-old Samuel Bristol of Nabacalis, East Coast Demerara, set himself on fire in the Regent Street area close to City Hall just before sunrise that Sunday.
Medical sources said he was burned on 80 percent of his body after dousing himself with gasoline. A male sex worker called "Thin Slice" was asked to identify the body; he told News Source that he was in a relationship with Bristol for more than five years when the man became abusive.
"He was always threatening me and came out there last night threatening me and the other girls. He even came with gasoline to throw on one of the girls who was arguing with him and he threatened a set of us and when we began to chase him, he ran out to the Regent Street area and was rescued by a security vehicle that was driving by," said Thin Slice.
Several hours later, "Thin Slice" said he found out about the murder of two other sex workers who were among their group who had also spurned Bristol's advances.
Gay Star News reported that male sex workers Jason John Samuels and Carl Sinclair were stabbed to death just after midnight on Sunday morning on Leopold Street and Lombard Street.
Bristol reportedly threw fire on "Thin Slice" before the other gay sex workers intervened and he fled. He reportedly tracked them down later that night and stabbed them to death. Samuels' body was found on Leopold Street and Sinclair managed to run a block away to Lombard Street before Bristol caught up with him and killed him.
Homosexuality is still illegal in Guyana; it is one of the few remaining South American countries to criminalize sex between men.

Posted: Feb 21, 2013
Eric and Rae Piesner have pledged $50,000 to establish the Sam and Helen Piesner Endowed Scholarship for Japanese Legal Studies to assist students enrolled at the William S.

He continued, "Our Japanese Law Program has become a valuable launching platform for students interested in Pacific Asian Law with Japan at the center of their focus and many of our alumni are now enjoying meaningful careers throughout Asia." Soifer concluded, "We hope thatother Law School alumni join the effort so we can keep enhancing our ability to attract the most promising law students to study Pacific and Asian Legal Studies at the William S. Richardson School of Law."

PITTSBURGH (AP) — More pictures and video have surfaced showing what happened before a city officer punched a woman at the city's gay pride parade and festival last month, which the city's police union contends show the officer was justified.
Fraternal Order of Police attorney Bryan Campbell told The Associated Press on Monday the other images show Ariel Lawther, 19, of Harmony, pushing a preacher protesting the event before she grabbed, pushed and struck the officer she accuses of wrongfully striking her.
The Delta Foundation, a local group that advocates for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals, asked police to investigate the officer's actions after a friend of Lawther's posted a 14-second video showing Officer Souroth Chatterji grabbing Lawther's hair and punching her repeatedly in the side.
Some of the new video came from a bank surveillance camera about a half-block from the incident on June 15. A professional photographer also took several stills that show Lawther grabbing the officer and struggling to keep from being handcuffed, Campbell said.
"You'll notice the blows he struck were to the body, to get her arms down, so he can get her handcuffed and get her under control," Campbell said. "In this particular case he felt striking her would overcome her resistance and, in fact, it did."
Lawther faces a preliminary hearing Aug. 11 on charges including aggravated assault — for allegedly fighting with the officer — and simple assault, for allegedly pushing the preacher.
"What's clear from the video is you see this girl assault one of the preachers," Campbell said. "You see clearly, and he's a pretty substantial guy, but she must have bull rushed him because he's knocked back."
Campbell said Chatterji was specifically tasked with keeping hostilities from escalating between those who supported the parade — like Lawther — and those protesting it.
"He'd even talked to this girl before about, 'Calm it down, calm it down,'" Campbell said. The officer wrote in his criminal complaint that Lawther eventually apologized to him, and had threatened to "kill" one of the protesters while using an obscenity before she was arrested.
Chatterji remains on restricted duty while the city's Office of Municipal Investigations, which probes misconduct allegations against police and city employees, reviews the incident.
OMI has the surveillance video, which Campbell said he viewed last week. A police union official who Campbell said has at least one of the still photographs did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Lawther's attorneys on Monday told The Associated Press they felt it was unfair for the police union to speak about the evidence in public.
"It's improper to comment on the evidence in a case you're associated with," said Komron Maknoon, Lawther's criminal defense attorney.
Steve Barth, an attorney Lawther hired to possibly sue the city, said he wants to see the video and pictures. He said distributing a photo of the incident publicly provides only "a snippet" without context.
Barth said previous criticism of the police was fueled by social media, not Lawther's attorneys.
"It's when the attorneys start saying, 'Aha, here's the smoking gun,' that you run into problems," Barth said.

CHICAGO (AP) — An airfield lighting outage has forced the shutdown of more than half of the runways at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, delaying flights at one of the world's busiest airports.
Chicago Department of Aviation spokeswoman Karen Pride says four of the airport's seven runways were closed for about 40 minutes Thursday night.
She did not know exactly how many flights were disrupted by the outage on the airport's north airfield. The runway closures lasted from about 9:20 to 10 p.m.
The cause is under investigation.

Mexican marines capture alleged drug gang leader
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Marines detained one of the leaders of the La Familia drug gang who controlled Mexico State, near Mexico City, a top security official said Wednesday.
National Security Commissioner Monte Alejandro Rubido said that Jose Maria Chavez was arrested in the central state of Guanajuato and that he headed the gang's activities in Mexico State.
The La Familia gang originated in the neighboring state of Michoacan, but by 2011 it had been displaced by the Knights Templar cartel. La Familia members then focused on Mexico State, where they have been implicated in killings and extortion.
Mexico State was the scene of a confrontation Monday in which 22 suspected members of the Guerreros Unidos gang were killed in a gunbattle with Mexican troops. One soldier was wounded.
The arrest of Chavez appeared unrelated to the shootout.

Auburn Gresham saw two homicides in two days last week, a RedEye analysis of preliminary police data found.
On May 30, a 15-year-old boy was shot to death in the 1700 block of West 85th Street, police said. One day earlier, a 36-year-old man was fatally shot in the 7500 block of South Carpenter Street, according to officials.
Auburn Gresham has logged eight homicides so far this year. The South Side community area recorded 16 homicides last year, RedEye determined.
Citywide, gunshot homicides were logged in the last week in Avalon Park, Greater Grand Crossing, Englewood, New City and South Shore, according to RedEye data.

Eggless Wholewheat Pistachio Cookies are simple butter cookies that are studded with a hint of chopped pistachios and pistachio essence – super delicious, nutty and crunchy ! I bet you can't eat just one!
If you love pistachios, you're going to love these incredibly soft eggless wholewheat pistachio cookies that will just melt-in-your mouth. I have to admit that growing up, I never liked pistachios but now I just love them.
I always have a bag of pistachios tucked away for snacking in my pantry. To curb in-between hunger prangs, I prefer to snack on these low-calorie nuts.
Don't have a liking for pistachios. No worries, feel free to experiment with whatever nuts you like. Substitute pistachios with almonds, cashews or pecan. Addition of chopped pistachios is what makes these cookies crunchy and irresistible!
RECIPE DETAIL – Begin the recipe by combining sugar and butter together. Add the remaining ingredients and knead a soft dough. Add extra milk by a teaspoon, if the dough feels dry and difficult to bind.
Make sure to refrigerate the dough before baking. Cookie dough that is chilled before baking will hold its shape much better. Do not bake the un-chilled dough. Un-chilled dough will make the cookies to spread and the end result would be thin flattened cookies.
Eggless wholewheat pistachio cookies have just the right amount of sweetness in every bite. I prefer thick cookies, but feel free to cut the cookie dough to desired thickness. Bake at 350 degree F for 10-15 minutes.
These cookies has a perfect balance of texture – crunchy edges on top, soft and chewy in the center. I have experimented couple of times with this recipe and here is what I suggest –
- There is no replacement for butter in this recipe. I did try with oil and spreadable butter, the cookies went flat.
- Substitute whole wheat flour with maida (all purpose flour).
- Custard powder is a great substitute for milk powder.
- Feel free to use brown sugar instead of superfine sugar. Though brown sugar will impact the color of these cookies.
Bake for 10- 15 minutes ONLY. The color of the cookies will be light brown in color and will look under-cooked but do not over-bake them. Cookies will will firm as they cool. If comfortable you can broil the cookies for few seconds to attain a deep rich color. Depending on the thickness, this recipe yields a little more than 2 dozen cookies.
Do give these yummy cookies a try. If you happen to make this recipe, please leave me a comment or share your pics with me on Facebook. I would love to see your creation and would be happy to answer any questions. Cheers!

By Chesney Hearst, Contributing Reporter
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – President Dilma Rousseff met with Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in Moscow, Thursday, December 13th, to discuss strengthening ties between the two nations. Medvedev travels to Brazil in February and Rousseff took the opportunity to invite him to stay and watch the Carnival, which reportedly he accepted.
"The joint work of our countries in the BRICs, in the G-20 and the IMF is critical for us to advance the agenda of cooperation, but also the reform agenda of international bodies," said Rousseff.
Russian Prime Minister Medvedev said: "The relationship between Brazil and Russia is booming. We have several good projects. But that does not mean that everything is resolved. We have problems to solve and the government of Russia is open to resolve all these issues."
One trade issue addressed during the talks was that of Russia's ban on imports of meat, the main Brazilian export to Russia.
An ongoing issue since 2011, Moscow had banned the meat produced in the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Paraná and Mato Grosso due to health issues including concerns over the addition of the drug Ractopamine to the cattle's feed.
"The Prime Minister, Medvedev told me that we will have a positive result," said Rousseff. "[He has] not informed me of the final decision, but believes that Brazilian producers have taken all measures and have a positive outcome in the end."

Leonardo DiCaprio wants to keep tigers on the map.
The star has joined with the World Wildlife Fund to launch Save Tigers Now, a campaign to save the big cats.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Hollywood's 'Titanic' Green Star — Leonardo DiCaprio
As few as 3,200 tigers remain in the wild, few enough to classify the species as endangered.
Leo's first move is a trip to Asia (in progress now) to seek out remote tiger habitats and document their natural environments.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Green Celebrities
"Tigers are endangered and critical to some of the world's most important ecosystems," the star said in a statement. "Key conservation efforts can save the tiger species from extinction, protect some of the planet's last wild habitats and help sustain the local communities surrounding them. By protecting this iconic species, we can save so much more."
The campaign, launching in the Chinese Year of the Tiger, seeks to raise million to help double the tiger population by 2022 – the next Year of the Tiger.
It's the latest green project for Leo, whose past environmental outreach has included the documentary "The 11th Hour" and his award-winning Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation.
