Summer's just about to launch but hot weather made an early start this year. For most, it's an inconvenience, but for others it can be deadly. Here are some practical and fun ways to beat the heat — for children, adults, the elderly and pets.
• Cover up. Look at photographs of people in hot climates around the world and they're not wearing halter tops and shorts, they're swathed in long, loose fabric from head to toe. Right now, that's in style here too (at least for women).
Darker colors are more effective at keeping rays out. Fabrics with tight weaves leave fewer opportunities for sunlight to reach the skin and are more effective over the long haul as they maintain their shape well after washing.
There's a whole new fashion niche in sun-protective clothing. Nylon, polyester and tightly woven cotton blends are often used and fabrics can also be infused with chemicals to maximize their protective qualities. Sun-protective clothing must carry a UPF rating, ultraviolet protection factor, of at least 15; most carry a UPF of 50, which the Skin Cancer Foundation deems "excellent protection." For example, a fabric with a rating of 50 allows only 1/50 of the sun's UV rays to pass through. One easy test is to hold the fabric up to the light to see if the light passes through; a white T-shirt offers minimal protection whereas a long-sleeved denim shirt offers total protection.
For total body protection, don't forget hats, preferably with a 3-inch brim or wider, and shades with lenses that protect against both UVA and UVB rays. And if your skin's exposed, apply a minimum SP15 sunscreen every couple of hours.
The same cover-up advice goes for babies: Keep them covered in loose clothing, add a floppy hat when outside, and keep those younger than 6 months out of direct sun at all times.
Eat spicy foods — or icy foods! That's right, hot spicy foods, staples of equatorial zones around the world, actually help the diner to cope with hot weather by making him or her sweat which serves to reduce body temperature. At least, that's what they say! So, if that's the food you like — curries and pepper-laden sauces — then go for it. The chemical capsaicin is the trigger that sets off the "pain" or thermal reaction.
Menthol acts in much the same way as capsaicin, but it stimulates the receptors that register cold temperatures, not those that respond to warmth. Think Vick's vapor rub, mints and the like — menthol gives the same cooling sensation whether inhaled, eaten or applied to the skin. Neither capsaicin nor menthol changes the actual temperature, just its perception.
If you're going for cold foods, choose icy over creamy for the most effective cooling properties. That means iced coffee without milk; popsicles rather than ice-cream sandwiches; slushies with blended fruit and ice rather than yogurt. Jazz up ice cubes by making them from fruit juice. Eat salads with leafy greens, citrus fruits and water-filled veggies like cucumbers.
• Water, water everywhere. Drink lots of water, even more than usual; if you don't like tap water, treat yourself to sparkling bottled water. Remember that coffee, tea and alcohol all contribute to dehydration.
Babies need to increase their fluid intake by 50 percent during hot weather. Children get overheated quicker than adults and take longer to cool down, so it's essential for them to stay hydrated.
Don't forget that pets need access to plentiful clean water all day long. If outdoors, they should also have access to a shady area throughout the day.
A sprinkler can serve double duty, watering the lawn at the same time as allowing children to lower their body temperature.
A cool bath can serve the same purpose for the elderly or a dip in a pool, followed by drying off in the shade. (Be sure to exercise caution and supervise children where water is involved.)
• Don't go outdoors in the heat of the day if you can avoid it. Seek out shade or visit an air-conditioned building, such as a movie theater, mall, community or rec center, or a library. Check with the Peninsula Agency on Aging (873-0541) for a fan or air conditioner for seniors who qualify for the Dominion Virginia Power-sponsored Fan Care program.
Never, never leave a person or pet in a car in high temperatures. And, indoors, draw the blinds or curtains to maintain a cooler environment. Cool off in a shower or tub if it becomes too stuffy. Recognize the symptoms of heat stress: dehydration, cramps, nausea, headaches and dizziness. Heat stroke may be characterized by hot, dry skin, a high temperature and confusion — call 911 if necessary.
Be sure to check the temperature of a stroller or car seat before strapping a baby in; their covers and metal parts can get very hot in a matter of minutes. Never, ever, leave a child or pet unattended in a car in hot weather.
• Watch a hot movie — or a cool one! If you can't get to a cool, darkened movie theater, then hunker down with a rented DVD (or a free one from the library.)
Using the same principle as with food, choose your movies for burning hot or icy cold scenes. "Body Heat," the 1981 murder mystery starring William Hurt and Kathleen Turner in the middle of a super-hot Florida summer radiates heat on every front. Then there's Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window," released in 1954, with stars James Stewart and Grace Kelly adding their own heat to the plot.
Don't be fooled by the title, "Some Like it Hot," a Billy Wilder film featuring Marilyn Monroe. The opening scenes are set in a chilly February in Chicago. For a real taste of the frozen North, see if you can find a copy of "Nanook of the North: A Story of Life and Love in the Arctic," a 1922 silent documentary filmed by Robert J. Flaherty in the Canadian Arctic.

Many parents have visited NetWellness with questions about their child's body odor. Luckily, body odor in itself usually does not signify a problem. As children mature, it is not uncommon to begin to have issues with body odor. Body odor is typically caused by bacteria which lives on the skin and breaks down skin oils which produce the smell. In a few cases, it can also be a sign of another condition such as puberty coming too early in younger children.
Some rarer causes of unusual body odor in young children are premature adrenarche (early onset of puberty) and a variety of rare metabolic disorders, such as phenylketonuria. These conditions will require a physical examination to allow prompt diagnosis and treatment.
Strong body odors also accompany other problems in the body's processing of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Because states vary widely in the newborn screening tests required, it is possible that a problem existing at birth may not be recognized until the child's body odor prompts an investigation.
It would be a good idea to draw this unusual odor to the attention of your child's pediatrician and ask for an evaluation. One suggestion is not bathing the child prior to the visit so that the odor about which you are concerned is clearly apparent. The physician will likely examine your child for any signs of early puberty, such as underarm or pubic hair, breast development or enlargement of the clitoris. Also, your health care provider will want to check for various metabolic disorders by testing for thyroid or other hormone levels. Depending on what the primary care provider finds, your child may be referred to a pediatric endocrinologist or other specialist.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) — Two Southern California girls who vanished during a weekend sleepover were found apparently unharmed near their hometown, police said late Monday.
Raylynn Bolt, 12, and Diana Tourdot, 14, who authorities believe ran away from Diana's home in Riverside on Saturday night, were found separately by police in San Bernardino, about 15 miles away from their hometown, San Bernardino police Lt. Dario Robinson said.
One of the girls was discovered at a city park and the other on a nearby street.
"We came across one, and talking to her and piecing it together, she led us to the other one," Robinson said.
The second girl was waiting with a good Samaritan when officers arrived, Robinson said.
Robinson did not know why the girls had come to San Bernardino and didn't know of anyone the pair were seeking or staying with.
The girls were turned over to Riverside police, whose detectives were interviewing them before they were returned to their parents, Riverside police Sgt. David Amador said in a statement.
Riverside police would also handle any medical examination of the girls, Robinson said, but "from what we could tell, they appeared to be OK."
Family members and police using bloodhounds had searched for the girls after they vanished and concluded they had most likely run away while spending the night at Diana's home. Her mother said she fell asleep around 11 p.m., heard a noise around midnight and woke up at 6:30 a.m., when the girls were gone, Donald Bolt, Raylynn's father, told KABC-TV.
"Unfortunately I think these two girls just got into a little bit of trouble," Donald Bolt said.
He said the family gets along fine, playing video games and doing other activities together.
People had reported seeing the pair together near a city plaza on Sunday, Amador said earlier.

Penta Kill!: League of Legends

So… Long time no blog! I am obviously terrible about keeping this up as of late. I've had a lot of things on my mind IRL, and as such, haven't really even been THINKING about this thing. Financial woes for the lose. That said, when I haven't been raiding (6/8 Heroic on my hunter, by the way! Spine should die soon, I hope), I've been playing a lot of League of Legends. While this isn't really an introductory post to League (I think I'll actually do that in the coming days, however!), I do want to make a quick opinion post on the game.
To be honest, I actually never thought I would have so much fun with a game like this. I'm traditionally horrible at RTS-type games, because I'm actually generally pretty bad at micromanagement to the degree that some of these games require (such as Starcraft). However, LoL isn't full-on RTS, so it was much easier for me to pick up, since I don't have to worry about more than two units of my own at a time (at least, controlling them). This is one of the things that has helped me with being able to manage the game, so I'm happy about it.
All in all, though, I've been steadily progressing in the game, getting more champions, learning them, getting better at the game in general. I want to do really well at it, and I think that I'm doing well with it. I know I'm not great at it, but thanks to sites like Reign of Gaming, SoloMid and others, I try to absorb a lot of information to get as good with it as I can. I honestly can say that there is a lot of information out there for people that have been with the game for a while, and this is definitely a good thing. However, getting into a new game, especially one such as this, can be extremely overwhelming for someone who doesn't even know what it's all about! As such, I want to try to remedy this. Hopefully, I'll be able to continue with it, too, because it's free to play (unlike Rift, unfortunately, which I would love to be able to keep up with – but without a subscription, it's nigh impossible).
So, more to come soon on the topic of League of Legends. I think I'll even do a video to accompany the next post as an introduction to the game!

The National Center for Victims of Crime is pleased to support to the Community Foundation of the National Capital Region's fund for victims of the Washington Navy Yard shooting.
The Navy Yard Relief Fund has been set up to give 100 per cent of donor contributions directly to the families of the victims and those injured in the attack.
Crime victims face many hurdles to rebuilding their lives. In addition to the costs of physical recovery and treating mental trauma, many victims will struggle to work and pay bills, and families who have lost their primary income earner face being financially devastated.
"This Fund will be an important source of support for these families and individuals in the months ahead," said Mai Fernandez, The National Center's Executive Director.
"The Navy Yard Relief Fund is a way for the public to reach out directly to the victims in this tragedy, knowing that every dollar they give will reach them," she said.
The Community Foundation has experience in managing assistance for victims, having run the $25 million Survivors Fund for the Pentagon victims after the September 11, 2001 terror attacks.

The form for donating to the families and victims is here:
The National Center also drew attention today to the important trauma resources being provided to victims, witnesses and survivors of the Navy Yard Shooting.
Mayor Vincent Gray has established a 24 hour Navy Yard Victim Assistance Response Line on 1-866.962.5048.
Individuals living and working in the neighborhood can make use of the helpline, as well as those directly impacted by the shooting. Trained advocates are available to connect survivors to victim advocacy through the Network for Victim Recovery (www.nvrdc.org), crime victim compensation through the DC Superior Court Crime Victim Compensation Program, and trauma-informed therapy and counseling services through the Wendt Center for Loss and Healing (www.wendtcenter.org). Short and long term options are available, as well as options for help in Virginia and Maryland.
The National Center for Victims of Crime, established in 1985, is the nation's leading resource and advocacy organization for crime victims and those who serve them. For more than 25 years, the National Center has led this nation's struggle to provide crime victims with the rights, protections, and services they need to rebuild their lives.

I need a shirt for my baby that says please don't touch or feed me. It amazes me how strangers will come up to my baby and rub his face. Do they not realize it is flu season? Do they not realize that it takes everything in me not to say something.
My husband came home from the store and shared a story how a stranger came up to the baby and rubbed his face. Usually when this happens, we take a baby wipe and wipe him down afterwards. This time my husband didn't have any wipes available. He came home upset about the woman but did not vent to her but me.
I promised myself when I was pregnant I would be a calm easy going mother. I don't know how much longer I am going to be able to keep that promise.
Next time you come in contact with a stranger and their baby, here are a few tips to follow.
Tip #1: Do not touch the baby. You might think your hand are clean but it is just rude to touch another person's face. Would you go up to a complete adult stranger and rub your nasty hands all over their face?
Tip #2: Do not lean over and get right in the baby's face and start talking nonsense to the baby. Your breath has germs and a baby's immune system is very fragile.
Tip #3: Do not give a stranger's baby food. Yes, I have plenty of people offer candy, crackers, nuts and other items to my baby.
I realize that these tips may make me come off as rude and angry. I can't help it.
A woman recently came up and broke all of the above tips. It was driving me crazy but when I looked up at the woman I realized she had cancer and as she stroked my baby's face her face lit up. My mother has a doctor who has a lot of cancer patients and this was one of them. My baby was probably more of a threat to her and her compromised immune system than she was a threat to him.
After the woman was out sight, I said a little prayer for her and proceeded to wipe the baby with a baby wipe and put the peppermint in my pocket. I sat there and thought about something she mumbled as she walked away. What a little beautiful life, so precious.
Life can be very short even if you live to be 100. Life can be so short that I am not going to worry if strangers don't follow my tips. I will however cherish each time my baby or I can bring joy to a stranger's life.

Curtain-A-lining skirt
Added Feb 3, 2011
London, United K...
This was my first attempt at cutting a pattern to my own size; it is a simple six-gore A-line skirt consisting of a single pattern piece for the repeated panels, plus a long rectangular strip for the waistband. I was terrified of making the waistline too small – it could really afford to lose an extra inch or so here, and as a result tends to stand out at the front or else sit too low on the hips: I like a higher waistline. I've pulled it up to its proper position for the pictures, but over the course of the day it does tend to descend!Length is 'the regulation two inches below the knee', which allows me to wear long socks instead of nylon tights (which I dislike). The skirt has a good wide swing to it so that I can step out at a fast pace and/or get my foot up onto the bed to tie my shoelaces….
At this point I hadn't learned how to do any of the more sophisticated – and less laborious! – methods of hand-finishing seams, so every single one of those six 26-inch seams was blanket-stitched from top to bottom to halt the fraying of the raw edges. The centre-back seam, being pressed open for the zip, had to be done on both sides, which meant it took twice as long again…. As a result, it took me about nine months to get round to completing all the finishing, during which time I went on wearing it with half the seams still raw on the inside. I learnt my lesson; nowadays I finish off_every_ seam before I start sewing the next one.
The seams are all backstitched by hand, using a spacing of about six threads per stitch: see extreme close-up. They should probably have been pulled a little tighter. The bottom hem and the inside of the waistband were blindstitched.
Nowadays I also take care to press the inside of my seams across so as to display the neat side of backstitch, and not the messy side as shown here….
Material Notes
This slightly stiff, slightly shiny dusty green material was, I'm fairly certain, originally curtain lining fabric. Anyway, I had a big bundle of it, so I used it for experimenting. The major drawback is that – as you can see from the back of the skirt, where I had been sitting down – it creases terribly at the slightest excuse.

Mikolas falters as Rangers fall to Astros 12-7
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Miles Mikolas has been in the major leagues a little too long to be considered yet another young Texas starter.
The 25-year-old right-hander still showed some of the same growing pains in his second trip to the mound for the Rangers.
Mikolas allowed six straight hits in a six-run second inning, Houston's Jon Singleton homered among three hits and drove in four runs and the Astros snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 12-7 victory over the Rangers on Monday night.
A reliever for parts of the past two seasons with San Diego, Mikolas faltered in his second career start. He was strong for five innings before fading in the sixth last week in Baltimore. He threw strikes again — getting five strikeouts without a walk — but gave up 12 hits and nine runs in 3 1-3 innings.
Marwin Gonzalez had a bases-loaded triple after five consecutive singles in the second, and Singleton knocked Mikolas (0-1) out of the game with a towering flyball that landed two rows above the Texas bullpen in right-center for a three-run shot and a 9-2 lead in the fourth.
"There were strikes, but you have to throw quality strikes," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "They just found a way to put the ball in play and find the grass out there. And then Gonzalez was the big blow."
Singleton ended an 0-for-10 slump that had dropped the 22-year-old rookie's average to .168 with his second three-hit game of the season and helped boost the Astros to 4-3 this season against their Texas rival.
Houston was 2-17 against the Rangers last year, in its first season in the AL West.
"When you look at the work which he's putting in day in and day out, it's good to see him get some results on the field," manager Bo Porter said. "He has a chance to be a really special middle-of-the-lineup bat for a long time in the big leagues."
Jarred Cosart (9-6) won for the first time in 12 career starts against AL West opponents despite allowing nine hits and six runs — five earned — in five innings.
Every Houston batter had at least one hit after George Springer's infield single with one out in the fourth. Singleton followed with his sixth homer.
"It's a work in progress every day," Singleton said. "Today, I tried not to think too much. I was seeing the ball. That's about it."
Adrian Beltre extended his hitting streak to 10 games with an RBI double in the third inning and a solo homer in the fifth that pulled the Rangers to 9-6. Beltre's team-leading 12th home run came an inning after Elvis Andrus' three-run double down the left-field line.
Houston relievers Josh Fields and Tony Sipp kept the Rangers from getting any closer, combining to strike out seven in a row starting in the sixth, when Texas trailed 10-6. The streak included Jake Smolinski in his major league debut for Texas in the seventh.
The Rangers, playoff contenders the past four seasons, lost for the 16th time in 19 games. Texas started the day 17 games behind Oakland and finished it just two ahead of last-place Houston, which has lost at least 100 games three straight years.
Singleton had the first of the five straight singles and reached base four times, capped by an RBI double in the eighth. Carlos Corporan also had three hits as the Astros finished with a season-high 17.
Alex Presley hit his fifth homer — a solo shot in the sixth — and was one of four Houston players with two hits. He had to come out after the 10th pitch of an at-bat in the eighth inning when he appeared to injure his right side on a swing. Pinch-hitter L.J. Hoes had a sacrifice fly to right on the first pitch he saw.
NOTES: Rangers RHP Nick Martinez was scratched from Tuesday's start because of a pulled muscle in his rib cage. He's being replaced by RHP Phil Irwin, who made his only big league appearance in a start for Pittsburgh last year.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Willis Whitfield, an award-winning physicist known for inventing the modern-day cleanroom, has died. He was 92.
Sandia National Laboratories, where Whitfield worked for three decades, announced Monday that Whitfield died in Albuquerque on Nov. 12.
Lab President Paul Hommert says Whitfield's concept for a new kind of cleanroom came at the right time during the early 1960s to usher in a new era of electronics, health care and scientific research.
Dubbed Mr. Clean, Whitfield was born in Rosedale, Okla. He was the son of a cotton farmer.
Whitfield had his initial drawings for the new cleanroom by the end of 1960. His solution for dealing with the turbulent airflow and particles found in cleanrooms of the day was to constantly flush out the room with highly filtered air.

We hear it on the news all the time: overweight and obesity are on the rise in the United States and around the word. It is easier to get fast food and hard to find places and time to exercise. At the same time, overweight and obesity have serious consequences. This includes diabetes, heart disease, stroke and some cancers. Facts from the Centers for Disease Control, known as the "CDC," tell us that:
Children and teens are also becoming overweight and obese at an alarming rate. In 2010, the CDC found that more than a third of children were overweight or obese. See Childhood Obesity Facts. This raises new concern. Diseases that were previously 'adult diseases' are now affecting children and teens. For example, type 2 diabetes has increased parallel to the rise in childhood obesity. The hidden damage to the body starts much earlier in life. This can result in serious harm like heart disease and vision loss at a younger age.
Definitions of overweight and obesity are important to understand. They can also be confusing in children.
Body Mass Index, also called BMI, uses a person's weight and height to calculate a new number. That BMI number is a way to tell how much body fat a person has. It shows whether a person is overweight and at risk for future health problems.
Children and teens need a special tool to show if their BMI is in an overweight or obese group. This tool is a "BMI-for-age percentile." It is used because:
The same BMI number may be obese for a younger child and normal for an older child. Or, a boy might be obese and a girl not obese even though their BMIs are exactly the same BMI scores used for adults have little meaning for children and teens. You can get information on BMI and what it means the CDC's page about BMI for Children and Teens.
Special BMI percentile charts take this all into account. There is one chart for girls and another chart for boys. Knowing your child's BMI is the starting point.
When the BMI number is entered for the age of the child, the chart shows if they are underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese.
Normal Weight: BMI between 5th and 85th percentile
This means that a child has a normal weight if their BMI is between 5 percent and 85 percent of all children who are the same sex and age.
Overweight: BMI between 85th and 95th percentile
This means that a child is overweight if their BMI is between 85 percent and 95 percent of all children who are the same sex and age.
Obese: BMI equal to or above the 95th percentile
This means that a child is obese if their BMI is the same or higher than 95 percent of all children who are the same sex and age.
You can see 2 BMI Percentile Charts with examples below. There is one for girls and one for boys. The first chart shows BMI numbers for 2 seven year old girls who have different BMI numbers. The girl with a BMI number of 17 falls in the normal weight group and the girl with a BMI number of 22 is in the obese group. The second chart shows a 5 year old boy and a 17 year old boy with the same BMI number: 24. That puts the 17 year old boy in the normal weight group and the 5 year old boy in the obese group.
These charts have been modified from the National Center for Health Statistics charts
"2 to 20 years: Boys Body mass index-for-age percentiles" and "2 to 20 years: Girls Body mass index-for-age percentiles".
The CDC has a special Do-it-Yourself BMI Calculator that does it all for you. Once you enter information the calculator:
Eating more calories than you use in activity causes overweight and obesity. Many people believe that obesity is inherited. That is actually very rare. A few medical conditions can cause weight gain in children. These include low thyroid hormone, called "hypothyroidism," and too much cortisol, called "Cushing syndrome." Medical causes are not common and are detected by laboratory tests.
Most of the time, overweight and obesity are caused by:
The diet and activity of children and teens is strongly influenced by:
When children and teens are overweight or obese, it affects confidence and self esteem. It is important for parents, teachers and providers to be aware of these needs. It is also important not to ignore childhood obesity.
There are efforts to limit marketing of unhealthy foods to children. Many schools ban soda machines. Some schools have healthier menu options for school lunches. More school programs increase exercise and activity. Cities have increased availability of fresh fruits and vegetables. Communities have made safe places for exercise. Much work remains to be done, especially in our inner cities.
Education about healthy weight is extremely important. Current efforts include communities, schools churches and social media. Healthy eating and activity are promoted. Education outreach to school nurses and doctors supports tracking BMI. This improves detection and care of children at risk
Points to Remember:
Many research studies are underway to help us learn about overweight and obesity in children. Would you like to learn more about being part of this exciting research? Please visit the following links:

Brian Ward and I recorded Episode 55 of the Hinderaker-Ward Experience yesterday morning. We discussed the issues of the day–the 17% shutdown and the Obamacare rollout, mostly. We awarded a triple-play Loon of the Week to the leadership of the Democratic Party, which is loonier than ever.
And we interviewed John Ondrasik of Five for Fighting. We talked about Bookmarks, his terrific new album, which you can buy at iTunes or Amazon. We also discussed John's experiences as a lonely conservative in the entertainment world and talked about how conservatives can better compete in the popular culture. After the interview, John went for a run along the Mall in Washington, D.C., and, in one of the low moments of the Obama administration's shutdown theater, got kicked out of the Jefferson Memorial. It is, on the whole, a very fun show.
This episode of the Hinderaker-Ward Experience was sponsored by the fine folks at Encounter Books. In particular, we promoted Encounter's new book Terms of Engagement: How Our Courts Should Enforce the Constitution's Promise of Limited Government. If you follow the link to Terms of Engagement and enter the code "RICOCHET" at checkout, you will get an additional 15% off. Our thanks to Encounter Books for their support.
You can listen to the podcast by playing it right here, or you can go to Ricochet to download or subscribe to the podcast in various ways, or you can subscribe on iTunes or elsewhere. Or you can use Stitcher. There are many ways to experience the Hinderaker-Ward Experience, but I think the best is by subscribing on iTunes. That way, you never have to worry about missing an episode.

Cumberland Farms robbed in Laconia
September 25. 2013 6:32AM
LACONIA – Police are looking for a man armed with a knife and hammer who robbed Cumberland Farms Wednesday morning.
The 124 Court St. store was robbed at 12:45 a.m. by a white man who showed a knife and a hammer and demanded money from the clerk. He then ran out of the store with an undisclosed amount of cash.
The robber is described as a white man, 5-foot-10 to 6-feet tall, with a thin build. He was wearing a dark colored hoodie, black jeans and had a black scarf over his face.
The Gilford K-9 unit was called to the scene to try and track down the robber, but was unsuccessful.
The robbery remains under investigation and anyone with information about it is asked to call Laconia police at 603-524-5252 or the Greater Laconia of Crime Line at 603-524-1717.

Every year around this time, as the earth gets warmer and warmer, plants sprout everywhere, robins mug each other on my back lawn and public officials get feverish over paying their year-end bills.
This is a time of transition from early spring to late spring. It is also a reminder that summer is coming, whether you like it or not. It is a time to be enjoyed.
I am a spring/fall person, mostly. Winter gives me plenty of things to complain about in my column, but it is not the same.
This time of year there are graduations, proms, town meetings, court cases that result from town meetings and, of course, Memorial Day.
I find my mind and calendar so cluttered that I struggle to find an hour or two to just sit on my back steps and enjoy the return of the black flies.
Black flies may be intolerable to many, but I enjoy them for several reasons. Although I don�t love black flies. They bite you, get into your eyes and sometimes down your throat.
What I like about them is their return happens during some of the best weather of the year. It is not yet so hot out that you have to hang around all day in air-conditioned stores, pretending to shop. It is also not so cold that I have to wear three sweaters to bed. It is pretty pleasant.
Also, mosquitoes and deer flies are not out yet. As much as I find black flies irritating, I find the other two types of blood-sucking insects intolerable.
Sadly, ticks are already in full force. One hitched a ride on me Sunday after I went for what should have been a pleasant walk in my back field. It didn�t bite me. I don�t think I have Lyme disease, but for the next seven or eight months, every time I step off the pavement, I plan to use enough poison to turn myself into a Super Fund site.
Black flies, on the other hand, are fairly avoidable, and having them around tells me several things. First, black flies and fishing go together. When I was growing up, black flies were as integral to my fishing trips as worms and snacks. We battled them with highly flattering nets on our heads when we went to the Burnshirt River to go fishing. It was irritating, but on the plus side, I suspect the fish liked the flies as much as we hated them.
To me, black flies represent a time of year when the world is dramatically changing. It is changing for birds back from their winter havens and looking for boy- or girlfriends and bugs beginning their short lives. It is also a time for communities to change. Town elections are this time of year, as are town meetings where the money to run the communities for another year is approved. I have covered about 200 town meetings in my career, and, although I sometimes poke fun at them, I really enjoy attending and covering them.
Mid-May is also a time of important life changes. There are lots of graduations at colleges and high schools. The high school students are reaching adulthood and going to work or college. College students will soon discover the joys of the work world. It is an exciting part of their lives. As a journalist and a parent, I�ve attended many graduations. As a member of a scholarship committee, I have also had the honor of selecting graduating high school students or those in college to receive money to help them continue their educations.
On the scholarship committee, I am reminded every year that not only are there some great students at the top of the heap academically, there are some great kids in general.
May will eventually flow into June, and the magic of spring will fade with the heat of summer. We will soon be focused on other duties and demands. But for the next two weeks, if you can, take a little time to sit out on your back steps, swat a few bugs, smell the air and listen to the birds. I guarantee you won�t be disappointed.

Lianne La Havas Guitar Gear
Lianne La Havas Guitar Gear
We've strapped on our Geargoggles to take a little look at Lianne La Havas' rig from a recent special gig at Rampworx Skatepark in Liverpool. Thanks to Bido Lito and Jack Thompson for the pics.
Looking closely at the pedal board we can see quite a bit of Boss.
Looks distinctly like a TU-3 tuner running into a LS-2 Line Selector which then selects between:
Mid-scooped GE-7 EQ into an Electro Harmonix Holy Grail Nano.
Mid-Pushed GE-7 into a Boss CS-3 Compressor
Speaking to Guitar World Lianne revealed that she never travels without her 1964 Danelectro guitar. For back line it's either a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe with the band or a Roland Micro Cube.
On stage, normally, I have a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe when I play my gigs with the band. But when I'm playing just solo, I'll normally go through the DI and I've got a SansAmp, which I think the sound comes out really nice. That's what I recorded, actually, for the guitar on the album. It's mostly through a SansAmp. Or I have a portable Roland Cube Amp, which is like a practice amp, so I take that around with me as well.On keys it looks like a Nord Stage 2, perhaps the SW73 model.

Heart disease is still the No. 1 killer of all Americans, men and women. But by following Life's Simple 7 and working with your doctor to consider your family heart health history, you can dramatically reduce your risk of heart disease.
If you smoke . . . quit! Smoking is the leading preventable cause of illnesses such as:
Tobacco smoke contains chemicals that damage your heart and blood vessels. One of those chemicals, nicotine, overworks your heart by constricting blood vessels and increasing your heart rate and blood pressure. Newer products, including electric or vapor nicotine, are believed to carry the same risks.
The good news: when you quit smoking, in just one year your risk of heart attack and stroke drops.
Exercise can be fun, and it is good for you. Regular exercise can cut your risk of fatal heart disease by nearly a quarter. Getting 150 minutes of exercise – that is about 30 minutes, five times a week or three 75-minute workouts weekly if you prefer - is a good way to maintain heart health. Exercise can help:
Healthy eating does not necessarily mean cutting back or going on a diet. It means eating a lot of:
Healthy eating also includes:
Saturated fat and trans fat increase your risk of coronary artery disease by raising blood cholesterol levels. Saturated fat is found in the foods many love to eat such as:
Although heart-healthy eating does not mean cutting out alcohol entirely, limit yourself to no more than 2 drinks a day for men and one drink per day for women.
We tend to gain weight with age, but more often weight gain is the result of consuming an excess number of calories and insufficient exercise. Weight gain can lead to conditions that increase your chance of:
A good way to know if your weight is considered "healthy" is to calculate your body mass index – also called "BMI." BMI numbers 25 and higher are associated with:
Health care providers sometimes also use waist and hip measurements to determine a person's excess body fat. In general, men are considered overweight if their waist is greater than 40 inches. Women are considered overweight if their waist is over 35 inches.
If you know your weight and height, you can compute your BMI at CDC's Assessing Your Weight website.
High blood pressure is considered a common "silent killer" because it often does not have any signs or symptoms. Some people may have high blood pressure but not even know it. That is why it is important to check your blood pressure regularly and to take steps to maintain normal blood pressure or lower your blood pressure if it reaches unsafe levels. In most people, a blood pressure of 120/80mm Hg is considered optimal.
You can make lifestyle changes to help keep your blood pressure within a healthy range:
In addition, if you already have high blood pressure:
Your blood sugar level could be higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes. If so, you may have a condition known as pre-diabetes. About one of every 3 U.S. adults has pre-diabetes. And most people with pre-diabetes are not aware of their condition.
Having pre-diabetes puts you at higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes. It also increases your risk for other serious health problems, like heart disease, stroke and kidney failure.
Take the National Diabetes Prevention Program quiz to find out if you are at risk. Your doctor can do a simple blood test. If you do have pre-diabetes, research shows that doing just two things can help you prevent or delay type 2 diabetes:
If you already have diabetes:
An elevated cholesterol level in the blood is a well-recognized risk factor for:
A particular fat, called "low density lipoprotein" or "LDL" cholesterol, is also found in circulating blood. LDL cholesterol is an especially powerful sign of cardiovascular risk. A level above 130mg/dL is considered high.
High cholesterol usually has no signs or symptoms, so you could have high levels and not know it. Only a health provider's check, using a simple blood test, will reveal it.
Things that can raise your LDL cholesterol level include being:
But - you can help lower your cholesterol by:
To see how likely you are to develop heart disease, your doctor will look at information about you, including test results such as your:
Looking at all this information together makes it easier to understand and manage your risk for heart disease, including whether medications such as statins might help.
Heart health guidelines from the American Heart Association point out the need for more research on how to best treat people over 75 to lower their risk for heart disease.
One of the most important things you can do is schedule an annual checkup with your health care provider. This will allow your doctor to pinpoint major risk factors you may have for cardiovascular disease, such as:
Knowledge is one of your strongest weapons against heart disease. Learn as much as you can about healthy living.
And because diseases of the heart and blood vessels can run in families, knowing your family history can provide important information about your health risks. Talk to your family about their heart health history. To learn how to create a heart health family tree, please visit Know Your Family Heart Health History.
By talking to your doctor about your family heart health history, together you can look for ways to lower your risk of heart disease.
Many research studies are underway to help us learn about heart disease. Would you like to find out more about being part of this exciting research? Please visit the following links:

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An insurgent ambush killed four soldiers in western Afghanistan Saturday, according to an official.
Provincial spokesman Fawad Askari said another four were wounded Saturday afternoon in the attack on an Afghan National Army foot patrol along the main highway in western Afghanistan's Farah province.
Insurgents frequently launch attacks on and around the highway, which is a main trade route through the province. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
Zia Durrani, police spokesman for Kandahar Province, said Saturday that four policemen had died there a day earlier when a roadside bomb explosion hit a police vehicle.
One policeman was wounded in the blast, which occurred in the Spin Boldak district of Kandahar Province, near the border with Pakistan.
Bombs in vehicles, along roadsides and carried by suicide bombers are the Taliban's weapons of choice.
The Taliban have escalated attacks in recent months as they try to take advantage of the withdrawal of foreign troops, who handed over security for the country to Afghan forces two months ago.

A few weeks we announced that the upcoming fall/winter +J collection for Uniqlo would be the last. The lookbook is now out, and I have to say this is possibly the strongest collection yet.
There has undeniably been plenty of hype surrounding this final collection, but I can't get enough of the contrasting colors, linear cuts and the mix of tech-infused materials with traditional fabrics.
Jil Sander's was one of the first high-fashion designers to collaborate with a mass-market brand like this, and in many ways really set the benchmark for these types of collections. She has continually brought her own unique, dark and structural aesthetic to the Japanese retailer, and this collection is no exception.
One of the most interesting features of this collection is the mix of sportswear with highly tailored pieces. Although it might seem an unusual combination, it is a look that we are seeing quite a bit of at the moment, and something we expect to take off this winter.
The fianl J+ collection will be Available soon in Uniqlo stores the world over.

The road woes of the Pacific men's basketball team continued Wednesday at UC Irvine, following a familiar script.
The road woes of the Pacific men's basketball team continued Wednesday at UC Irvine, following a familiar script.
The Tigers got off to a terrible start, shot poorly throughout and their defense was bad as well in a 68-59 loss to the Anteaters before 825 at Bren Events Center.
Pacific (15-11, 9-5 Big West Conference) played without junior forward Ross Rivera, who had battled illness all week and was diagnosed with pneumonia Wednesday and will be sent back to Stockton today.
The Tigers fell behind 15-6 to the Anteaters (15-13, 9-6) and led just once in the game, while shooting 33.3 percent from the field and making just 4 of 17 from 3-point range.
"They just outplayed us," Pacific coach Bob Thomason said. "They passed, shot and rebounded better. There wasn't even one starter for us that played even below average. You're not going to win road games when that happens."
Pacific's starters - Lorenzo McCloud, Sama Taku, Colin Beatty, Travis Fulton and Khalil Kelley - combined for 22 points on 7-of-29 shooting. The Tigers were kept in the game by the play off the bench by center Tony Gill and forward Jordan Turner. Gill matched a season-high with 17 points and seven rebounds, while Turner, a senior walk-on, collected a career-high seven rebounds in 24 minutes.
"We missed shots and defensive assignments, especially in transition, and they got going," Gill said. "Down the stretch, we didn't do the things we needed to win."
The Anteaters, 8-0 at home in conference, saw four starters reach double-digits with Daman Starring notching 16 points. UC Irvine shot 45.5 percent for the game and 8 of 16 on 3-pointers.
The Tigers are now 2-8 on the road and 11-2 at Spanos Center. Their next three games are on the road, with a trip to Western Michigan for a BracketBuster game at 10 a.m. Saturday. Pacific now has a half-game lead over Hawaii and the Anteaters for second place and trails Long Beach State (17-9, 13-2) by 31/2 games.
"Maybe we just are a bad road team," Thomason said. "We have to get more poise, confidence and belief we can do it on the road."

feb 15 2016
Company also projects significant downturn in Yo-kai Watch toy/hobby sales.
Bandai Namco Holdings released its third quarter financial report last Tuesday, revealing that the company and its subsidiaries report a projected estimate net sales of 560 billion yen (about US$4.91 billion) for the fiscal year that will end on March 31, which would be a 1% decrease compared to the 2015 fiscal year. The company predicts fiscal year 2016's operating income at 43 billion yen (about US$377 million), which is a 23.7% decrease compared to 2015, and a recurring income of 45 billion yen (about US$395 million), which is a 24.2% decrease compared to 2015.
They report a slump in arcade game profits as a primary factor in the decrease. During the nine months from April 1 to December 31, Bandai Namco Holdings reports that its arcade games category earned total sales of 34.5 billion yen (US$303 million), a marked decrease from the 42.5 billion yen (US$373 million) in the same nine months in fiscal year 2015. Bandai Namco Holdings is projecting that the category will earn total sales of 52 billion yen (US$456 million) in fiscal year 2016, which would again be a decrease from 2015's 63.8 billion yen (US$560 million) total sales and 2014's 70.9 billion yen (US$622 million) total sales.
They repors that the company has purportedly halted the release and development of new arcade machines.
The Yo-kai Watch property is the company's highest selling property in its toy and hobby business, but the company expects Yo-kai Watch toy and hobby sales to go down, with a forecast of a 30 billion yen (US$263 million) total sales for the property in fiscal year 2016, which would trend significantly lower than its fiscal year 2015 total sales of 55.2 billion yen (US$484).
In contrast, the company predicts growth for its Mobile Suit Gundam franchise, both in toys and hobbies, as well as in groupwide consolidated categories. The company is projecting 78.5 billion yen (US$689 million) in Mobile Suit Gundam-related sales for the 2016 fiscal year, which is trending higher than the property's fiscal year 2015 sales of 76.7 billion yen (US$673 million).

On Tuesday, November 13, a truck full of donations ranging from clothes to food and even cleaning products pulled up in front of Maspeth High School to be distributed to the students. As the students got off charter buses that bring them from Beach Channel Drive to Masepth, they began helping unload the truck.
Students formed a line and moved all of the items from the back of the truck into the lobby of the school. The parent of a student who attends Rockaway Park High School said that the scene gave her chills.
Sharon Kalnberg has been living in the Rockaways for 18 years and said the generosity of volunteers has been beyond outstanding.
"This is making me cry," she said. "Despite all the adversity, they are still working to help each other out."
Klanberg does not have running water in her house, but said she needed to make sure that her son gets to school, wherever that school may be. She said students need school for stability and to get their minds off of the devastation that Hurricane Sandy has caused in the Rockaways.
The donation collection was organized by Michael LoCasio. parish athletic director for St. Stanislaus. He said the donations took six hours to sort, but less time to be collected.
He also said that the items were picked up and distributed through a sponsorship with Martin Luther School, Maspeth Federal Savings, State Senator Joe Addabbo's office, the CYO program of Queens, Maspeth Press and the Queens Ledger. Action Tire donated 50 trucks to help LoCasio transport the items.
"This is more than they started with today," LoCasio said of the students.
LoCasio said that Foot Locker has donated 2,500 pairs of shoes, which he will distribute to the students in the upcoming days.
Matthew Katz, assistant principal of Rockaway High School, said that students are still getting aquatinted with their new environment. "It's been a little tough," he said.
With many students going back to homes without electricity or heat, Katz said the donations give them "a glimmer of hope."

- Where can I park?
- Are tickets needed for Commencement?
- How early can we reserve seats?
- Where can I get a good photo of my graduate?
- How long is the College of Law Commencement?
- What should parents and guests wear?
- Where can we purchase food and beverages on campus during Commencement day?
1. Where can I park?
All Willamette University parking lots are open and available for guests attending Commencement ceremonies except the Visitors Parking Lot (corner of Bellevue and Winter streets), which is reserved for handicapped parking. Guests should also not park in permanent reserved spaces, marked with green signs at the specific parking spaces. Street parking is available free of charge around the perimeter of Willamette University and the State Capitol. [ Parking information ]
2. Are tickets needed for Commencement?
Tickets are not needed for the ceremonies and students are not limited in the number of guests they may bring. However, Willamette does not allow reserved seating prior to one hour before any ceremony.
3. How early can we reserve seats?
Willamette University allows reserved seating one hour prior to any ceremony. One person must remain with their reserved seats at all times.
4. Where can I get a good photo of my graduate?
During Commencement, we ask that family members do not approach the stage to take pictures. The University has contracted with professional photographers from GradImages to take photos of all graduates. These photos capture the moment graduates shake hands with President Thorsett and receive their diploma, along with portrait shots of the graduates as they exit the stage.
GradImages will contact you about your proofs after the ceremony through your school email address. You may pre-register to receive discounts on your pictures by clicking on this link: Willamette Photos
To contact GradImages or learn more about their service, please call (800) 261-2576 or visit http://www.gradimages.com/.
5. How long is the College of Law Commencement?
If you are making lunch or airplane reservations, please remember that the ceremony lasts approximately two hours, ending around 1:00 p.m. In addition, it can take more time than expected for graduates, family members and friends to reunite and exit campus.
6. What should parents and guests wear?
The College of Law ceremony is outside under a large tent in the Quad. It is always cooler under the tent than it is outside of the tent. If it is a cool day, you should bring a jacket and perhaps a blanket, especially for senior guests. Most parents and grandparents dress in comfortable business attire.
7. Where can we purchase food and beverages on campus during Commencement day?
The Bistro offers coffee and small snacks from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the Willamette Store offers sodas and convenience store items from 8:30 a.m. – 7 p.m.

Any excess heat, which happens during pressing the oils (even during expeller pressing) will damage these delicate PUFAs. Expeller pressed only means that the manufacturer did not use toxic solvents like hexane to extract the oil. The refined, bleached, deodorized and boiled vegetables oils that line the grocery store shelves have had any viable nutrients or antioxidants stripped out, rendering these oils toxic and incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to digest. (4,5)
Even organic, expeller pressed oils have been found to have mutated, oxidized, heat-damaged oils in them. (4) In one study, expeller pressed canola oil was found to have 5% trans fats (linked to heart disease), cyclic hydrocarbons (a carcinogen) and oxyphytosterols (linked to arterial damage). (4)
The worse news is that when we ingest trans fats found in vegetable oils, they destroy the good fats in our bodies at a whopping rate of billions per second (5), in a process called "free-radical cascade."
So… maybe it's time to throw out all of the clear vegetable oils you have in your pantry.
Heating these PUFAs, as I mentioned, only accelerates the free radical cascade of damage and oxidation in the body. In a famous New Zealand study, researchers evaluated the blood flow through the arteries after a fried food meal. They used a blood pressure cuff to see how fast the blood vessels would dilate back to normal after ingestion of a meal cooked in used, fast food fryer oil.
The results were dramatic. Four hours after ingesting the meal cooked in one-week-old vegetable oil, they measured how quickly the artery would recover from the pressure of the blood pressure cuff. Before the meal, the vessels dilated normally, but afterwards, there was almost no dilation! (5,6)Conclusion Avoid Using Vegetable Oils At Home
Sadly, because these oils are used in almost every restaurant, if you eat out regularly, you are likely ingesting too many omega-6 vegetable oils. The refining, bleaching, boiling and deodorizing during the manufacturing process strips all of the nutrients and natural antioxidants from them, while severely damaging their structure.
Since these oils are so delicate, unstable and not a part of our ancestral diet, it makes good sense to avoid using them at home, at least.Replace Unstable Fats With Stable Fats
Vegetable oils that are more saturated will be more stable at room temperature and under high heat. The oils that are OK to cook with are: Butter, , coconut oil and macadamia oil. High quality olive oils are OK at low heat or at room temperature.The oils that are OK to cook with are: Butter, , coconut oil and macadamia oil.

I remember 20 years ago someone mentioned to me that the VMS kernel (the OS running on VAX computers) was formally proven to be correct (to some degree). Of course, in that case DEC provided the hardware and the software too. Unfortunately I don't remember the details.

The problem was that the joke got out hand as someone took it seriously and started passing around about how VMS was superior to Unix because it was provably secure.
How true this story is versus all the others... I don't know.

A correctness proof is mathematics.
Hardware is reality.
Congratulations on finding a proof that reality and mathematics coincide ... :-)

Actually solving problems is not in the interest of most people in the security field. Randomized defenses which "raise the bar", only to be conclusively shown inadequate within a few months are very convenient that way. This is a pattern both in academia and the industry. By pursuing defenses which cannot be complete (if you allow arbitrary programmer expressivity, you're always confronted with the halting problem), you keep the arms race going. This is to the benefit of both defenders and attackers (keeps the funds flowing).
Not being totally cynical about this, as of course "raising the bar" is a consideration for many production deployments. In my (perhaps poorly informed) opinion though, the allocation of funds is clearly not concerned with eventually having robust solutions, just with piling complexity on top of complexity (academia is pretty good at that) with no end in sight.
And yes, there's no way to have flawless programs. Logic errors aside, even in a memory safe language, the programmers can very well implement their own instruction set and have a memory safety violation in their binary code (which would only be data to the type system). This is not really in the same class of "fundamentally unworkable" as expecting a huge source base to be kept bug free (see the recent kernel quotes of the week). This line of thought is a total derailment IMHO.
How much entropy is actually gained ?

LAGUNA HILLS – Right after the kickoff in Sunday's Super Bowl, Jacob Satola runs out the door, jumps into his car and drives off.
The 21-year-old has somewhere to be.
"They've gotta get where they're going," the delivery driver said of the pies he slings.
Before the first touchdown less than 20 minutes later, Satola is running back inside for another delivery. His striped, white '92 Mazda Miata is idling outside, the Domino's logo strapped like a shark fin over the trunk. He's back out the door and in his car a minute later.
"I've got to obey the speed limit. I try to cut the time with my running," Satola said.
America's modern pseudoholiday, Super Bowl Sunday, is as much about the wings, chips and, yes, pizza as it is about the big game and expensive commercials. More than 100 million Americans were expected to be tuned in to the game, and nearly three-fourths of those watching planned to buy wings, pizza and other food items, according to a survey by the National Retail Federation. People were expecting to spend, on average, $68.54 on snacks, parties, décor, clothing or a new television, up from $63.87 last year, according to the survey.
"This will be our best day since we've opened," said Corey Detert, who supervises the Laguna Hills Domino's location and several others in the chain.
The rush started hours before kickoff, around 3:30, and picked up again before halftime. The store, usually staffed by seven, had 14 workers Sunday to keep up with demand for one of delivery's biggest nights. Though the Domino's where Satola works has been open only since December, people order from the place in large numbers.
The store is one of the smaller locations for the pizza chain. In contrast, 50 drivers staffed the larger of two Camp Pendleton locations Sunday, with an additional 22 workers inside. About 35 drivers work there on a normal weekend.
"It's our second busiest day of the year," said Robert Felker, who owns Porky's Pizza, which has nine locations, most of them in Orange County.
The only day that compares to the Super Bowl, said Felker, is Halloween, when residents pack their orders into a two-hour midafternoon period that sees delivery drivers fan out across Orange County before trick-or-treating gets under way.
"You get the busiest day of the year all in an hour or two," he said of the holiday.
Domino's said it expected to sell 11 million pizza slices Sunday and 2.5 million wings.
At the new Laguna Hills Domino's, 600 of those wings (three times normal) and 200 pounds of cheese (twice normal) satisfied game-day appetites.
Pizza is "the best thing to have for the Super Bowl," according to delivery customer Saul Romero, 19.

WICHITA — A federal judge has dropped all charges against a California woman ensnared in the prosecution of a cargo theft scheme in Kansas.
U.S. District Judge Monti Belot granted Tuesday the government's request to dismiss the indictment against Larisa Nagapetian.
Her husband, Oganes Nagapetian, and his brother, Tigran Nagapetian, still face charges of conspiracy, identity theft and other crimes. All are from North Hollywood, Calif.
Prosecutors allege they tried to steal a semi-load of processed beef in November 2011 from the Tyson Fresh Meats plant in Holcomb by pretending to be legitimate freight haulers.
The U.S. Attorney's office says the government dismissed the charges against Larisa Nagapetian "in the interest of justice." Spokesman Jim Cross declined to elaborate, citing the pending case against other defendants.

The stiff south-easter which set in this morning, accompanied by rain, has added another set-back to all outside work. The fleet of small boats which are usually rigged and moored off the shore by the first of June, have not yet, in many instances, been launched, while those already in the water are not rigged, the weather failing to remain clear enough to allow the work to be done. The rain also keeps the summer visitors - several families are already here - indoors, and retards the coming of others of the summer colony.

WILLIAMSBURG, April 28, 1775.
Our paper was entirely prepared for the press; but just as we were going to publish it we were informed of that arrival, in York river, of the snow Martin, captain Wood, in six weeks from Liverpool, by whom we received papers as late as the 11th of March, from which we have only time to select the following intelligence. LONDON, March 11 House of Commons, March 9. This day the expectation of all men, both within doors and without, were wound up to the highest pitch, it being whispered for some days past, by those who pretend to be in the secret, that the minister intended to propose a bill that would at once charm his friends, confound his enemies, and please the people on both sides of Atlantic. After the benches had been all crouded, a silence of some minutes ensued, and up rose the minister, not to open his grand conciliating plan, but to extend the powers of his New England restraining bill to the other principal provinces on the American continent. He said, that as the colonies were come to an agreement to carry on no trade whatever with Great Britain, Ireland,or the West Indies, he was clearly of opinion that it became indespensably necessary to refrain commerce, and prevent them from trading with any other country. He therefore made the following motion, "that the chairman be directed to move the house that leave be given to bring in a bill to restrain the trade and commerce of the colonies of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and South Carolina to Great Britain, Ireland, and the British islands in the West Indies, under certain conditions and limitations." After a short debate, a bill was ordered in. Fourteen sail of the line, with ten thousand troops,we are credibly informed, were to embark for America about the first of this instant, April. It appears that the province of New York, whose assembly both resolved not to abide by the resolutions of the congress, is not included in this refraining bill.

LODI - Lodi police are investigating an attempted murder case after a 22-year-old man was shot twice at Washington and Maple streets Thursday night.
Officer Jimmy Pendergast said there were many witnesses to the shooting, and detectives believe they know the identity of the alleged shooter.
A description of the assailant was not released Friday pending further investigation. A motive was not determined.
Pendergast said the victim's injuries were not life-threatening. He was being treated at Lodi Memorial Hospital.
STOCKTON - A Stockton man was carjacked at his home in the 3000 block of Belleview Avenue early Friday morning, authorities said.
The man said he returned home at 1:50 a.m. and found three men inside another vehicle parked in his driveway. The three men confronted the victim, demanding his money and his keys. The men then fled in the victim's truck, a white 1998 Dodge Ram, license plate No. 5Y20973.

STOCKTON - An 18-year-old man was beaten and robbed while walking near Grattan Avenue and Flora Street about 9:45 p.m. Thursday, police said.
The man told officers his assailants approached him from behind on a bicycle. One of the robbers stayed on the bicycle while the other hit the victim a number of times with a silver aluminum bat and ordered him to hand over his belongings, authorities said.
The robbers then fled north on Flora Street. They were described as Latino men 18 to 20 years old. One was about 5 feet 10 inches tall and 150 pounds with black shorts and a white shirt over his head. The other was wearing a black sweater and black jeans.
