The Gorge Community Foundation announced Monday that they are accepting grant applications for projects that promote outdoor education or recreation. A total of $5,000 will be awarded from the Alpinees/Jack Baldwin Memorial Outdoor Education Fund in this grant cycle. Schools, nonprofit agencies, and government organizations serving the Columbia River Gorge are invited to apply. The deadline for submission is May 16.
In 2008, the Alpinees officially dissolved their Mountain Search and Rescue organization. At this time, they donated the historic Alpinee Hut to establish a permanent endowment fund with the Gorge Community Foundation. According to the late Carroll Davis, who was one of the three members still paying dues, the best legacy for the Alpinees was to "get people outside."
With this objective in mind, the Alpinee Fund makes grants each year which promote outdoor education and recreation for residents of the Gorge.
Last year, six organizations received grant funding as follows:
n Columbia Gorge Ecology Institute for Secrets program
n St. Francis House of Odell for outdoor excursions
n White Salmon Valley School District for expansion of GPS technology
n Mt. Adams Institute for outdoor education programs
n Hood River Valley High School Nordic Ski Team for trail fees
n Hood River Lions Foundation for Boy Scouts' High Adventure program
This year's grants will be awarded no later than July 31, with an application deadline of May 16. Programs that engage people in outdoor activities or study opportunities are eligible, providing that the sponsoring agency is a school, government or nonprofit organization. Grants are limited to the local Gorge area.
Complete guidelines are available for download from the Gorge Community Foundation website at gorgecf.org.

AMISH SCHOOL: Second Amish school opens in Whitley County
SOUTH WHITLEY— Familiar Amish symbols, such as a horse and buggy, may not be a common occurrence in Columbia City, but they thrive in other parts of Whitley County.The southwest part of the county, which is located within the Whitko Community School Corporation's district boundaries, contains many Amish residents, prompting the need for a second Amish school in the area. Approximately 38 students attend the newly constructed Country Meadow Amish School from first to eighth grade.Marcus Schwartz is the treasurer for the Amish school and is part of the six-member board for the new building. He donated part of his land for the new school."We started last year with the paperwork," he said. "We poured concrete in November of last year."Building work began this past January in time for the school to open in August. Currently, two teachers handle the students, with one devoted for the four younger grades and another for the four older grades.To read the rest of this story, see the Nov. 14 issue of The Post and Mail.

Nursing Assistant Denies Charge of Exploiting Elderly Woman
NEWPORT CITY – Orleans County Judge Robert Bent released Kellie Peters on conditions Tuesday after the 26-year-old Newport woman pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor charge of alleged financial exploitation of a vulnerable adult.Peters was working for Bayada Nurses when she started taking care of a 66-year-old Newport woman. Court records identify the woman simply as "the client."The client first spoke to Kimberly Emery, a case manager with the Area Agency on Aging, about the problems. Francis Berard, Bayada's Client Services Manager, initiated an investigation and drafted an incident report detailing conversation with the client on Aug. 9, 2011. Investigators spoke first with the client and then with Peters and received conflicting stories pertaining to the relationship. The client said she signed off on Peters time sheets even though Peters routinely left work early. On Dec. 7, 2011, the client told Detective John Lewis from the Sectary of State's Office that Peters was her first Licensed Nurses Assistant after she was released from a nursing home. The client said she liked Peters at first and felt Peters cared about her. Peters became manipulative and played on her sympathies, the client then stated. On one occasion, Newport City Police Officer Richard Wells stopped Peters for a traffic violation while the client was in the vehicle. Peters was allegedly driving with a suspended license. Wells issued Peters a criminal citation and transported the client and Peters back the client's home. The client gave Peters $50 for cab fare, because she knew Peters needed to get to another client's home. The client said she gave money to Peters on several other occasions. On another occasion, the client gave Peters the client's debit card so Peters could pay the $150 to reinstate her driver's license, but Peters never repaid the loan. Court records state that Peters used the client's ATM card on other occasions to withdrawal money, and that the client was with Peters at the time.The client said she gave Peters $10 to treat her son and boyfriend to ice cream. The client also took Peters to dinner on numerous occasions. Court records state that Peters, after working with the client for awhile, would often "snap" at the client if the client was unhappy. The client felt Peters had control over her life, including her finances. The client became even more fearful of Peters when the client gave away a table that Peters had planned on selling. The client said Peters yelled at the client when Peters found out.Court records state that the client said she became afraid of Peters and felt Peters would kill her if the two were left alone.Sgt. Darren Annis from the state police and Detective Lewis interviewed Peters at the Newport Police Department on Dec. 20. Peters said she received a letter from the Sectary of State notifying her of the investigation but did not receive a copy of the complaint.Peters told police the client struggled with mental health issues and physical issues. She also said she declined the loan of $50 the client offered her for cab fare and that the client never gave her money to take her family for ice cream. Peters said she and the client would get ice cream together and that Peters often bought the client an ice cream and on several occasions they each paid with their own money. Peters said Vocational Rehabilitation paid her driver's license reinstatement fees. She said she initially gave the client $150 in cash and the client let her use her debit card to obtain a money order check at the post office to pay traffic fines. After Lewis told Peters it's important to tell the truth, Peters stated the client loaned her $150 by letting her purchase the check with the debt card. At first, Peters claimed she paid the client back two days later when she received her paycheck, but then said it was a week later.Peters admitted the client took her out to eat on two occasions and she returned the favor by taking the client out to eat once. Peters said the client insisted on paying for her meals.Peters said she left the client's home with Bayada's permission. Sometimes it was to put another client to bed and then return. Other times she left when the client went to bed and her work was done.Court records state Peters said four or five times she left 20-minutes early, but put down she worked the entire shift.

I'm pretty much amazed by my son.
I love watching him discover new things. It's so exciting. It's neat to see the wheels turning in his head, the light bulb moments when he puts two and two together, the ah-ha! and repeated experimentations as he explores the world around him.
His most recent discovery is echoes. There are a few places we walk through every day that he's noticed are particularly good as far as echoes go. As soon as we walk in the door of the parking garage, for instance, he starts his "ah! ah! ah! oh! oh! oh!", grinning away as his voice echoes off the cement walls. Same with the elevators, the mail room, the entrance way. It's one of those things that had never occurred to me that he would discover one day. I mean, I just never thought of it. Echoes. How fun!
Speaking of fun, we've started swim class at the local pool again, along with our own swim time in the outdoor pool at our condo. He starts grinning as soon as his toes touch the water. He'll be a regular fish in no time, the way he keeps trying to swim out of my arms already.
Not only does he think he can swim alone, but he thinks he's ready for Mom and Dad's shoes too. He opens the closet and pulls out Mom's sandals or Dad's big shoes, then works away at trying to get them on his feet, looking ever so pleased with himself when he succeeds.
Most of all, he's just plain fun. We had our first pillow fight today - he giggled like crazy as I (softly) knocked him over with the pillow, then he'd take the pillow and plop it on my lap, laughing some more when I fell over too.
I just love that boy's laugh.
I just love that boy.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The MIT women's volleyball team did not drop a game as it captured its first Hall of Fame Tournament crown in four years this past weekend. The Engineers blanked Mount Holyoke College (30-18, 30-21, 30-22) and Brandeis University (30-24, 30-20, 30-28) in pool play on Friday. The next day, Tech defeated Amherst College (37-35, 30-22, 30-12) and Tufts University (30-19, 30-22, 30-24). Amanda Morris represented MIT on the All-Tournament Team while Alex May received her first Tournament MVP award.
Briana Stephenson powered the Engineers' (27-4) offense with 11 kills and a .389 hitting percentage as she registered four blocks. Katie Rowe also notched four blocks to go along with nine kills. May contributed eight kills to Tech's cause while Katrina Ellison posted three blocks in two games. Carrie Buchanan totaled a team-high eight digs as Rose Zhong chipped in seven of her own. Buchanan, Cathy Melnikow, and Amanda Morris each collected three aces. Morris also distributed 34 assists against the host Lyons.
Rowe recorded an efficient hitting performance against Brandeis as she totaled 11 kills on 16 attempts with one error (.625). May paced MIT with 14 kills as Frances Rogoz added eight. Alexandra Huston-Carico tallied four blocks while Rowe and May each had three. The Engineers amassed eight aces with Lindsay Hunting and Zhong both serving three and Morris recording two. Morris led Tech's defense with 13 digs while she dished out 37 assists.
In Saturday's semifinal with Amherst, May had a solid outing as she finished with 17 kills, 10 digs, and three blocks. Rowe anchored the Engineers' blocking corps with seven stops and added 13 kills. Rogoz also reached double-digits in kills as she totaled 12. Morris notched her second double-double of the tournament with 44 assists and 12 digs. Zhong led the back row with 14 digs while Hunting and Buchanan each contributed 11. Hunting also picked up two aces in the win.

For Immediate Release
Mike Crocker, Greenpeace USA Media Officer, 202-319-2471; Nell Greenberg, Communications Manager, Rainforest Action Network, 510-847-9777; Anne Havemann, Communications Director, CCAN, 240-396-2022
Advisory: Biggest Ever Civil Disobedience on Climate at Congressional Power Plant
1000+ Already Signed Up to Participate; Dr. James Hansen, Others to Protest Use of Coal
WASHINGTON - A national coalition of more than 40 environmental, public health, labor, social justice, faith-based and other advocacy groups today announce plans to engage in civil disobedience at the Capitol Power Plant in Washington D.C. on the afternoon of March 2, 2009. The Capitol Climate Action (CCA), the largest mass mobilization on global warming in the country's history, reflects the growing public demand for bold action to address the climate and energy crises.
"The Capitol Climate Action comes not a moment too soon. For more than thirty years, scientists, environmentalists and people from all walks of life have urged our leaders to take action to stop global warming; and that action has yet to come," said Dr. James Hansen, one of the world's leading climate scientists. Dr. Hansen will join the protest. "Coal is the biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the country and that must change. The world is waiting for the Obama administration and Congress to lead the way forward on this defining issue of our time. They need to start by getting coal out of Congress."
The Capitol Power Plant, which is owned by Congress and sits just blocks from the American seat of power, burns coal to heat and cool numerous buildings on Capitol Hill. The facility no longer generates electricity but its reliance on coal - the country's biggest source of global warming pollution and a documented health hazard - has made it the focus of political controversy and a powerful symbol of coal's impact on the environment and public health.
"This demonstration marks the beginning of a sustained effort to draw a line in the sand against this dirty and dangerous fuel," said Matt Leonard of Greenpeace, which is helping to organize the protest. "Our leaders cannot promise us a healthy and prosperous future as long as coal is polluting our soil, water and atmosphere."
"We can no longer wait for the changes we know we can, and must, make today," continued Rebecca Tarbotton of Rainforest Action Network (RAN), a lead sponsor of the action. "We've got to take the slogan 'yes we can' seriously. With a new administration and a new Congress, we have a window of opportunity to build a clean energy economy that will protect the health of our families, our climate and our future."
The diversity of groups involved in the action reflects the number of people affected by global warming. Of all the fossil fuels, coal is the single biggest contributor to global warming. Burning coal cuts short at least 24,000 lives in the U.S. annually, inflicts catastrophic damage to the landscape and water supplies, and jeopardizes the lives of coal miners. Furthermore, the December coal ash spill in Tennessee makes it clear that there is no adequate means of safely storing coal combustion waste.
"As the impacts of global warming accelerate, thousands of people from all walks of life will join together in early March," said Mike Tidwell of the Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN). "We will be participating in the time-honored American tradition of peaceful resistance, this time in the name of stopping the great moral wrong of climate change."
In response to public pressure, the House of Representatives converted half of the plant's fuel to cleaner natural gas. But attempts to remove coal from the fuel mix entirely have been blocked by powerful coal-state Senators Robert C. Byrd (D-W.Va.) and Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
A recent University of Massachusetts study found investing in clean energy projects like wind power and mass transit creates three to four times more jobs than the same expenditure on the coal industry. The wind power sector has grown to employ more Americans than coal mining as demand for clean energy has jumped over the past decade.

OREM, Utah – The UMKC volleyball team (9-17, 5-8) fell 3-0 on Thursday night in Western Athletic Conference play at Utah Valley (13-15, 8-5) inside the PE Building in Orem, Utah.
Alicia Harrington (Cedar Falls, Iowa) led the Roos with 12 kills, hitting .233, with 15 digs and two blocks for a double-double, while Brook Jacobs (Peoria, Ill.) added 11 kills and four blocks. In the back row, Rhegan Spiegel (Savannah, Mo.) topped the team with 18 digs.
In the opening set, the Roos fell behind early, but battled back to take the lead at 16-14 after a UVU error and a kill from Jacobs. The lead, though, was short-lived as the Wolverines reclaimed the advantage at 18-17 before going up 1-0 in the match with a 25-20 first set victory.
In set two, it was the Roos turn to build an early lead, as UMKC went ahead 9-4 after another Jacobs kills, an ace from Spiegel and a UVU error. UMKC then stretched its lead to as many as six at 12-6 after a kill from Mykal Sadler (Des Moines, Iowa) and another Utah Valley error. The Roos would keep the edge until late in the set when the Wolverines went ahead 19-18, but kills from Sadler and Kynnedy Myers (Rose Hill, Kan.) put the Kangaroos back in front. Utah Valley, however, scored six of the final nine points to take the set 25-23 and a 2-0 lead heading into the break.
In the third and final set, the Roos built a lead for a third straight set, this time going ahead 7-2, nine points in after an ace from senior Mikayla Martinez (Frederick, Colo.). UMKC would maintain the lead until 16-15 when the Wolverines went in front for the first time in the set at 21-16 with a 7-0 run. UMKC closed back to within three at 21-18 on a kill from Jacobs and a UVU error, but could get no closer as Utah Valley won the set 25-20 and the match 3-0.
For the Roos, Sadler finished with eight kills, hitting .333, with four blocks and three digs, while setting up the offense, Alli Schomers (Omaha, Neb,) tallied 21 assists and three digs and Myers added 14 assists and three digs. At the net, Alexia Morey (Colorado Springs, Colo.) finished with three blocks, while Alex Ratzlaff (Hillsboro, Kan.) notched four kills and five digs.
The Blue & Gold will be back in action again on Saturday when they head to Seattle, Wash., to take on Seattle U at 3:00 p.m. CT on Nov. 11 to close out the regular season.

Crawford Path Climber's Log
subflood - Aug 20, 2008 10:52 pm Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2008Nice trail
The trail has some great views. Rocky, muddy, and steep in many areas but it's great fun.
friday - May 25, 2008 8:46 pm Date Climbed: May 24, 2008From Notch, to summit, back to notch
Started out at 7AM, with fog clearly visible below the tree line. There was plenty of snow on the trail to Mt Peirce, making the first 2-3 miles somewhat difficult. Initially at tree line, the was plenty of fog and wind. Around the time I arrive at Mt. Eisenhower, the fog started to lift, but clouds still covered Mt Washington. After I reached the Lake of the Clouds hut, the clouds were now higher than Mt Washington, giving me my first naked view of the summit. Reached summit, ate clam chowder, went down and up Mt Monroe, and the took the long trek back to the car. Very long day, but I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.

did part of A presidential traverse on this trail. From crawford notch up to to summit, and back the same route. Great trip, good weather all the way except for a socked-in summit.
Brian Jenkins - Sep 12, 2006 5:56 pm Date Climbed: Sep 4, 2006Via Monroe/Crawford Path
Second time summiting this one. Was the fifth in a south to north Presidential Traverse. Spent the night at LOTC Hut, hiked up in morning fog, no visibility but at least winds were normal, maybe only 30 mph. Lots of smoking Japanese tourists up top and the nice smell of the cog. Didn't waste much time at the summit, headed down Trinity Heights Connector to Gulfside Trail to rendez-vous with Flanders to continue our Traverse.

Here I am breaking my rule of not logging routes that were just hikes but this was just so damn alpine and such a respectable mountain. Next time by something technical!

The Pineapple Housewife's Happy Home
Name: Mike & Stacy Gall, Madeline and Sophia
Location: Historic Riverview, Kankakee, Illinois
Size: 1,900 square feet
Years lived in: 3 years; Own
I've known the Galls for years. My husband grew up with Stacy and Mike and they are one of the funniest, happy families I've ever met. The first time I went over to their house Stacy had a chalkboard sign in the entry advertising "Fall!" and her home looked and smelled like the season. I was in college and it was the warmest, most welcoming place I'd set foot in since leaving home.
Stacy lives and breathes style (and comedy), so three years ago when the Pineapple house was up for sale she knew she had to have it. For a very long time, its exterior was painted two shades of pink, and she would drive past and admire it daily. Since moving in, Stacy has unleashed her color powers on the Spanish Revival and risen to the domestic goddess level one can only dream of. Immersed in the area's rich history and bounty of historic homes, she is also vice president of the historic district board.
The Galls are committed to their community, and continually strive to make it a better place to live and raise children. Whether it's involvement in the local music scene, or running for local government, they realize and accept the social responsibility of making your community what you want it to be.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
Our Style: I think our style is vintage mixed with a little modern, with a frenchy twist.
Inspiration: Kate Spade is a huge inspiration for me. I love her use of colors. It's quirky, but still classic.
Favorite Element: The entryway! It has a 12 foot ceiling, enough space for a fun chair and side table, a gothic hanging chandelier, and a winding staircase! I love the first impression it gives when friends come to visit!
Biggest Challenge: The style of our house is "Spanish Revival", and a common trait of these houses is textured walls, which took us forever to paint, and it makes me dream about all of the wallpaper that I will never have because it will never work!
What Friends Say: "I would never think of putting this together!" "Can you help me pick out paint colors?"
Biggest Embarrassment: Definitely our garden area. There is a huge garden carved out with bricks in our yard, and we are just now learning how to take care of it. I dream of being one of those ladies who wears a huge gardening hat and floral print gloves, and carries my coffee out in the morning to get to work out there… someday it will happen!
Proudest DIY: The paper wall art that is hanging above the fireplace! I got the idea from a friend that made one, and when I was finished I was SO PUMPED, I made a few more and gave them away! It was also the cheapest thing to make! (And we all know wall art can cost an arm and a leg!)
Biggest Indulgence: I would say the antique square grand piano that I bought from a Frank Lloyd Wright home in my neighborhood. The home is used for tours, and events, and they were selling it because they had a different piano being donated to them! It was my lucky day! — but a bit of an indulgence. They are very rare, and the piano dates back to the late 1800's. I like to picture what some of the people who may have played it were wearing at the time!
Best Advice: Don't play it safe. Paint can be repainted if you don't like it, but the payoff is amazing when you do something risky and it turns out great! Also, style doesn't have to be expensive — I think it's something we are all born with.

Mark Felt says that he was "Deep Throat." (CNN) -- The man who was the No. 2 at the FBI in the early 1970s was Deep Throat, the source who leaked information about Watergate that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon, the Washington Post confirmed on its Web site on Tuesday. The former executive editor of the paper, Ben Bradlee, told The Post that he knew the paper was "on the right track" by using W. Mark Felt. The identity of Deep Throat was first revealed in a Vanity Fair magazine article posted Tuesday. According to a story, Felt, 91, told John D. O'Connor: "I'm the guy they called Deep Throat." If true, the revelation would end more than three decades of speculation about the anonymous source who helped Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein on many stories about the bungled break-in of the National Democratic Party offices at the Watergate office-hotel complex and the subsequent cover-up by the Nixon White House. Woodward and Bernstein used information from Deep Throat largely to confirm information or fill gaps from other sources. He also helped point them in the right direction. The stories appeared in the Post from June 1972 until Nixon resigned in August 1974. In his 1979 book, "The FBI Pyramid from the Inside," Felt denied he was Deep Throat. "I never leaked information to Woodward and Bernstein or to anyone else!" he wrote, six years after he retired. The Vanity Fair article said Felt had kept the secret even from his family members until 2002 because he felt his leaking had been dishonorable. But family members said Tuesday they did not feel that way. "Mark had expressed reservations in the past about revealing his identity and about whether his actions were appropriate for an FBI man," his grandson Nick Jones, 23, said to reporters outside his family's home in Santa Rosa, California, where his grandfather lives. "But, as he recently told my mother, 'I guess people used to think Deep Throat was a criminal, but now they think he's a hero.' " The apparent revelation came in stages, O'Connor said. In 1999, the Hartford Courant in Connecticut published a story saying that, 11 years before, the son of Bernstein and the reporter's then-wife, Nora Ephron, told a friend at a summer camp that his father had said the former G-man was the anonymous source. Ephron and Bernstein, who had divorced by 1999, denied that was the case, the magazine said, contending that Felt had simply been Ephron's favorite suspect, but that Bernstein had never told her his source's true identity. Their son, they said, was just repeating his mother's guess. Thirty years of denial The two reporters have refused to name Deep Throat, contending that they agreed to do so only after he dies. Bernstein reiterated that pledge Tuesday. "With all our confidential sources, we agreed not to identify them until their death," he said. "Nothing has changed that. No one has released us from any pledge. It is our intention not to identify Deep Throat until his death." But that stance never appeared to diminish the speculation. In 2002, for a story about the 30th anniversary of the Watergate break-in, the tabloid Globe repeated the claim about Felt, under the headline, "Deep Throat Exposed!" Shortly after, according to the article, Felt's daughter Joan got a call from Yvette LaGarde, who had been a social companion of her father after the death of his wife in the late 1980s. "Why is he announcing it now?" LaGarde asked Joan Felt, who did not then know that her father was the source, according to O'Connor. "I thought he wouldn't be revealed until he was dead." At that, Joan Felt confronted her father, who first denied it and then confirmed it, the article said. O'Connor said he was writing the piece after receiving permission to do so from Felt and Felt's daughter, Joan. The Felts were not paid for the story, he said. "We believe our father, William Mark Felt Sr., was an American hero," said William Mark Felt Jr., in a statement to reporters. "He went well above and beyond the call of duty at risk to himself to save his country from a horrible injustice and we just hope that, at some point, the rest of the nation can see it that way as well. "We feel, having talked to our father, that dad is pleased with the attention that this whole thing has drawn to his 32 years of service to his country. But he believes in his heart that the men and women of the FBI who have put their life at risk for more than 50 years really deserve recognition far more than he does. "The Felt family does, however, ask that, in view of his age and his health, that you respect his zone of privacy as he enjoys this moment with the rest of his family." Felt's health and mental acuity have declined recently, O'Connor said. Some convinced, some still doubt The news was not surprising to some observers. "I am highly persuaded that this is the fellow," said former Nixon White House adviser David Gergen, who added that secondary questions remain. "Why in the world did he do it? What was behind it? And why now?" Still, one prominent Watergate figure expressed misgivings. "I've got grave doubts about the story," said the figure, who asked not to be identified. "The guy might think he's Throat, but if he is, it raises some serious questions about Woodward's journalism. "There's a tremendous amount of information that Throat gives Woodward that's wrong. Felt, in a piece in the Atlantic recently, denied he was Throat, and he said that had he been Deep Throat, he would have had better information." "Also, the info that Throat is giving to Woodward at the end of Watergate is not information that Felt would have had access to at the FBI. I don't think he was at the FBI at that time. It's possible he could have gotten access, but I don't think he did. "Plus, I gather that Woodward and Bernstein have refused to comment on the [Vanity Fair] reports. But that doesn't make sense -- if Felt is Throat, then wouldn't he have been able to release Woodward and Bernstein from their confidentiality agreement? Why wouldn't he? "Wouldn't they have all talked beforehand about this interview he was doing with the magazine?"

FREETOWN — An updated South Coast Rail map is expected to be unveiled next summer.
FREETOWN — An updated South Coast Rail map is expected to be unveiled next summer.
Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic Development District Executive Director Stephen Smith met recently with selectmen, noting that 31 communities affected by the project have been asked to revisit their priority development and protection areas.
The list was first compiled in 2008 and since that time some areas have experienced a growth in business, making them a more attractive location for commuter rail, officials said.
In 2010, Gov. Deval Patrick issued an executive order that communities submit a recommendation list consistent with an overall blueprint for the project to be eligible for state funding.
Selectmen Chairman Jean Fox, who is also the project manager for South Coast Rail, said it is imperative for communities to have a say in the decision-making process.
"We need to realize that the development will occur," said Fox. "We want to have control over where it goes. It's important for the state to encourage local participation in the decision-making process."
Town Administrator Richard Brown will be gathering representatives of the Planning Board, Conservation Commission and Finance Committee to come up with a plan that makes sense for Freetown. Fox emphasized that officials are exploring possible changes, not starting from scratch on the proposal.
"We're not reinventing the wheel," said Fox. "It's reassess and re-evaluate."
In an informational packet provided by South Coast Rail, a Priority Development Area is described as an area "appropriate for increased development or redevelopment due to several factors including good transportation access, available infrastructure (primarily water and sewer), an absence of environmental constraints and local support."
Priority Protection Areas include "areas that are important to protect due to the presence of significant natural and cultural resources."
A map detailing the proposed rail locations currently calls for a line that begins in Taunton, forks into the Myricks section of Berkley near the Lakeville line, with one route running parallel to Route 24 through Assonet and into Fall River and the other running along Route 140 through East Freetown and into New Bedford.

Their affordability and simplicity of operation make Dobsonians a great first telescope for entry into the hobby of amateur astronomy, especially those in the 6" to 8" aperture range. Larger Dobs, though bulkier to transport, are highly popular among experienced observers, thanks to their tremendous light-gathering prowess and, again, their affordability compared to refractors or catadioptric telescopes. Even relative to similar-aperture Newtonians on equatorial mounts, Dobsonians are delightfully economical.
Unfortunately our dealer agreement with most of our telescope vendors only permit us to ship to addresses inside the United States of America.
Fortunately this is NOT true for VIXEN brand telescopes. Those we can ship to anywhere you are willing to pay the shipping to.

POD Lockers - Space Saving
Probe POD Lockers are the ideal solution when space is an issue. Probe POD Lockers are designed to be used as a rotating carousel of lockers so that they can make better use of space.
Essentially the Locker POD is constituted by either 7 or 11 lockers, each shaped like a slice of cake or seed (in a POD!), which when fixed together, construct a circular group of lockers and when placed onto a rotating base become a carousel. This POD Locker Carousel can then be placed tight against a wall or nearly touching another POD, because, by rotating the POD any locker can be used and opened in this confined space.
By using Probe POD Lockers in such a way it is estimated that up to 165% more storage space can be utilised than with conventional locker installations.
Probe POD Lockers are available with various compartment options - from a Single door version, which is nearly 180cm tall to the same unit, but with 2,3,4,5 or 6 compartments,]. There are a two POD sizes - a 7 Locker or an 11 Locker POD. Both take up the same floor space, but each locker cake slice has a larger capacity in the 7 Locker POD.

A house with views all around
A house with views all around
Througout the home, oversize windows capture soaring vistas: to the west, Madonna Mountain, and to the east, the Worcester Mountains.
Multiple columns support the 12-sided structure and help divide the main level's open kitchen, living, and dining areas.
A copper soaking tub fits right in with the Shaker-barn theme.
The homeowners wanted the house to incorporate natural materials — sourced locally whenever possible, such as the flagstone floor in the entryway and the fireplace's massive fieldstone surround.

Sir Andrew Huxley, the British researcher who shared the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discoveries of how nerve impulses are transmitted through cells, died May 30. He was 94.
His death was announced by the University of Cambridge's Trinity College, where he served as master from 1984 to 1990, but no details were released.
Working with fellow Nobel laureate Sir Alan Hodgkin, Huxley solved a puzzle that had perplexed biologists for decades: how nerves generate the electrical impulses that control muscle activities and even thoughts. That work "did for the cell biology of neurons what the structure of DNA did for the rest of biology," 2000 Nobel laureate Eric R. Kandel later wrote.
Biologists had known since the 1771 experiments of Italian physicist Luigi Galvani that giving a frog leg an electrical shock would cause it to contract, suggesting that muscle activity was electrically regulated. But it was not clear how the tissues could generate such an electrical stimulus and how it could be transmitted through cells.
Huxley and Hodgkin approached the problem by studying a squid nerve cell known as the giant axon. The giant axon, which can be up to 1 millimeter (0.04 inches) in diameter, stretches the length of the squid's body to control ejection of water for propulsion, and nerve impulses travel especially rapidly through it.
By placing tiny electrodes in the axon at various locations, they were able to measure the electrical potential inside the nerve as it transmitted an electrical current. They concluded that the current was carried by electrically charged atoms called ions. When the current reaches each cell, it causes a channel known as a sodium gate to open, allowing sodium ions to flow into the cell.
Once enough sodium is in the cell, that triggers a second set of gates on the opposite end that allow potassium ions to escape. Those ions cause the process to repeat at the next cell.
The gates themselves could not be visualized with the technology available at the time, but Huxley, working on a very primitive computer, used the laws of physics to calculate the electrical potentials that should be obtained if their model was correct. The calculated values were very close to those that were observed, confirming their hypothesis. Only much later were the ion channels actually imaged.
Huxley and Hodgkin shared their Nobel with Sir John Eccles of Australia, who explained how signals were transmitted between cells. Both Britons were knighted for their work in 1974.
Huxley later worked to explain how muscle fibers contract. For that work, he devised and built a microtome to make very thin slices of tissue for study in the electron microscope and a micromanipulator.
Andrew Fielding Huxley was born Nov. 22, 1917, in London to a celebrated family. His grandfather was biologist Thomas Henry Huxley, an early supporter of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. His father, Leonard, was a writer who, among other things, compiled a history of Thomas Huxley. Andrew's older half-brothers were the author Aldous Huxley and biologist Julian Sorel Huxley.
When Andrew was 12, his parents bought the mechanically minded boy and his brother David a lathe, which Andrew used to make wooden candlesticks and a functioning internal combustion engine. He later used the same lathe to manufacture many of the laboratory instruments he needed.
He received a scholarship to Trinity College, where he intended to become a physicist. But he needed another science course, and a friend recommended physiology — a suggestion that changed Huxley's life. He received a bachelor's degree in 1938 and a master's in 1941.
In 1939, he had started working with Hodgkin at the Plymouth Marine Biological Laboratory, but after a year their work was interrupted by the advent of World War II. He spent the war working to provide radar control for gunnery, first for antiaircraft guns and later for naval artillery. After the war, he returned to Plymouth. The research partners published their first finding in 1951 and a series of highly regarded papers in 1952.
Huxley spent all of his career at University College London and Trinity. He was elected to the Royal Society in 1955 and served as its president from 1980 to 1985 — a position also held by his grandfather Thomas. As Thomas did, he used his inaugural presidential address to stoutly defend the theory of evolution, although he conceded that the question of the creation of the universe was still open.
Huxley edited two journals and received many honors, including the presidency of the British Assn. for the Advancement of Science and the International Union of Physiological Sciences.
His wife of 55 years, the former Jocelyn Richenda Gammell Pease, died in 2002. Huxley is survived by five daughters and a son.

In March 2012, the 300-pound, cast-bronze statue of the Lorax, a character from a book by the late children's author, was stolen from the La Jolla property of his widow, Audrey Geisel.
The garden statue and its stump inscribed with "Unless" was discovered missing by the estate's property manager, who said he saw footprints in the garden. Thieves apparently rolled the statue on its stump down a hill, lifting it over a chain-link fence and into a getaway vehicle.
Fast-forward to Aug. 21, 2013, when police detectives from San Diego's Northern Division recovered the statue in thick brush off a canyon at 7500 Country Club Drive in La Jolla. They were led to the statue's hidden resting place by a tip from the Bozeman Police Department.
A 22-year-old man had walking into the Bozeman police station with knowledge of the Lorax thefts and other crimes committed in San Diego, as well as in Hawaii and Bozeman.
The missing statue has since been returned to the Geisel estate.
Commenting on the Lorax's recovery, Geisel, 92, said she greeted the return of the Lorax "with joy."
The police investigation into the theft of the statue is ongoing and charges are pending.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - For the second year in a row, the MIT women's soccer team received an at-large bid to the NCAA Division III Tournament, as was announced on Monday afternoon. The Cardinal and Gray will face Rochester Institute of Technology (12-4-3) on Saturday, Nov. 16 at The College of New Jersey. The game will be played at 1:30 p.m.
MIT ended the regular season with a record of 13-2-1 and shared the regular season title with Wheaton College with its record of 8-1-1 in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) play. As it had defeated the Lyons a few weeks prior, the Engineers earned the right to host the 2013 NEWMAC Tournament semifinals and finals.
On the first day of the Tournament, MIT advanced over Babson College in penalty kicks, 3-0, to make it to the finals the following day. On Sunday afternoon, the Engineers were edged by Springfield College in PKs, 4-3.
Led by seniors Rachel Dias Carlson (Albany, N.Y.), Samantha Fleischmann (Eastchester, Pa.), Kaitlyn Nealon (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.) and Michaelann Rodriguez (Florence, Ala.), the Engineers will be making their fourth NCAA appearance overall, after receiving bids in 2009, 2011 and 2012. Last season, MIT made it to the Sweet Sixteen, going further in the Tournament than they ever had in program history.

Where To Buy Cheap NFL Tickets?
Between the ticket price, parking, and stadium merchandise, being a football fan is expensive. To make matters worse, popular online ticket retailers such as TicketMaster, StubHub, and NFL Ticket Exchange charge customers additional service fees on top of the base ticket price. Ticket Monster offers customers the best value on the web with zero additional fees and free shipping. TicketMonster.com sells tickets to all the NFL events including the NFL draft, NFL Preseason, NFL Pro Bowl, and of course the Super Bowl.
NFL Ticket Prices 2014
NFL teams consider a variety of factors when determining their ticket-price strategy. These factors include team performance as well as average income and population of the metropolitan area. Arguably the most important ticket price factor is the presence of star players. For example, the Denver Broncos presence at away games increases the home team's ticket prices significantly. Prior to Peyton Manning's signing with the Broncos, the Broncos had a negative impact on away game ticket prices.
The 2014 NFL average ticket price was $81.14. Check out the chart below for your favorite team's average face value ticket price compared to the league average or other NFL teams.
Data collected from Team Marketing Report in September 2013. Data reflects primary ticket marketplace prices.
Purchasing NFL tickets from the secondary marketplace is a great option to consider especially when making last minute purchases or when the tickets are in high demand. Ticket Monster compiled the median NFL ticket prices in the secondary market for the 2013-2014 NFL season below.
Data compiled by Ticket Monster in February 2014. Data reflects secondary ticket marketplace prices.
2014 NFL Ticket Prices vs. 2013 NFL Ticket Prices
NFL ticket prices for the 2014 season increased by 3% from the previous season. According to data compiled by Team Marketing Report, the 2014 average face value NFL ticket price was $81.54 compared to the 2013 average price of $79.06.
The Arizona Cardinals had the greatest increase in face value ticket prices from last season. The average Cardinals ticket price increased by 17% to a price of $79.56 for the 2014 season. The NFL team with the largest decrease in average ticket price from last season are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers average ticket price dropped 14.6% to a price of $63.59. Only three other NFL teams had a decrease in average ticket price from last season: the New York Jets (6.5% decrease), the Buffalo Bills (1.1% decrease), and the Cincinnati Bengals (0.1% decrease).
The chart below displays a team-by-team breakdown of the percentage change in face value ticket prices from the 2013 NFL season to the 2014 NFL season.
Data reflects percentage change of each team's average face value ticket price in the primary ticket marketplace.

NFL Attendance
NFL average home game attendance increased slightly by 1% from the 2012 season to the 2013 season. The 2013 NFL average home game attendance was 68,339. Check out the chart below to compare your favorite team's home game attendance to the average home game attendance or other NFL teams.

U.S. sues S&P over pre-crisis mortgage ratings
Associated Press
The U.S. government joined Connecticut and 15 other states suing Standard & Poor's for allegedly inflating its ratings on risky mortgage investments that played a key role in triggering the 2008 financial crisis.
In charges filed late Monday in Los Angeles federal court, the Justice Department said the credit rating agency gave high marks to mortgage-backed securities because it wanted to earn more business from the banks that issued the investments.
The company said it will fight the claims.
The case is the government's first major action against one of the credit rating agencies that stamped their approval on Wall Street's mortgage bundles. It marks a milestone for the Justice Department, which has been criticized for failing to make bigger cases against the companies involved in the crisis.
"Put simply, this alleged conduct is egregious -- and it goes to the very heart of the recent financial crisis," Attorney General Eric Holder told a news conference Tuesday. He called the case "an important step forward in our ongoing efforts to investigate and punish the conduct that is believed to have contributed to the worst economic crisis in recent history."
At the news conference, acting Associate Attorney General Tony West said "we think that at the very least," S&P is liable for more than $5 billion in civil penalties.
Joining the Justice Department in the announcement were attorneys general from California, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Iowa and Mississippi, who have filed or will file separate, similar civil fraud lawsuits against S&P. California estimates its pension lost $1 billion, while Connecticut has not given an estimate of its losses.
In 2010, Connecticut was the first state to file suit against the S&P and has a similar suit against Moody's. Both are pending in state court and seed civil penalties and disgorgement of profits.
"We believe that S&P's analytical models for rating structured finance securities were directly influenced by the demands of S&P's powerful investment banking clients," Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen said in a press release, Tuesday. "Contrary to what S&P was publicly representing, S&P served its own financial interests and those of the investment banks. Countless investors and market participants, including state regulators, were misled by S&P's promise that its analysis was independent and objective. S&P violated the trust that it purposefully cultivated with the marketplace leading to disastrous results."
More states are expected to file suits, the Justice Department said.
S&P, a unit of New York-based McGraw-Hill Cos., called the lawsuit "meritless" in a lengthy statement.
"Hindsight is no basis to take legal action against the good-faith opinions of professionals," the company said. "Claims that we deliberately kept ratings high when we knew they should be lower are simply not true," it said.
Rating agencies are widely blamed for contributing to the financial crisis that caused the deepest recession since the Great Depression. They gave high ratings to pools of mortgages and other debt assembled by big banks and hedge funds, suggesting there was little risk for investors. That gave even risk-averse investors the confidence to buy them.
Some investors, including pension funds, can only buy investments that carry high ratings. In effect, rating agencies like S&P greased the assembly line that allowed banks to push risky mortgages out the door.
When the housing market collapsed in 2007, the agencies acknowledged that mortgages issued during the bubble were far less safe than the ratings indicated. They lowered the ratings on nearly $2 trillion worth, spreading panic that spiraled into a crisis.
In its statement Tuesday, S&P said its ratings "reflected our current best judgments" and noted that other rating agencies gave the same high ratings. It said the government also failed to predict the subprime mortgage crisis.
But the government contends in its lawsuit that S&P was more concerned with making money than issuing accurate ratings. It says the company delayed updating its ratings models, rushed through the ratings process and kept giving high ratings even after it was aware that the subprime market was flailing.
The complaint includes a trove of embarrassing emails and other evidence that S&P analysts saw the market's problems early:
-- In 2007, an analyst who was reviewing mortgage bundles forwarded a video of himself singing and dancing to a song written to the tune of "Burning Down the House": "Going - all the way down, with/Subprime mortgages." The video shows colleagues laughing at his performance.
-- A PowerPoint presentation that year said being "business friendly" was a core component of S&P's ratings model."
-- In a 2004 document, executives said they would poll investors as part of the process for choosing a rating. One executive replied, asking, "Does this mean we are to review our proposed criteria changes with investors, issuers and investment bankers? ... (W)e NEVER poll them as to content or acceptability!" The executive's concerns were ignored, the government said.
-- Also that year, an analyst complained that S&P had lost a deal because its criteria for a rating was stricter than Moody's. "We need to address this now in preparation for the future deals," the analyst wrote.
West said the documents "make clear that the company regularly would `tweak,' `bend,' delay updating or otherwise adjust its ratings models to suit the company's business needs."
S&P said the emails were "cherry picked," that they were "taken out of context, are contradicted by other evidence, and do not reflect our culture, integrity or how we do business."
Ratings agencies like S&P are a key part of the financial crisis narrative. When banks and other financial firms wanted to package mortgages and sell them to investors, they were required to seek a rating from a rating agency. Those investors suffered huge losses when housing prices plunged and many borrowers defaulted on their mortgage payments.
By 2006, S&P was well aware that the subprime mortgage market was collapsing, the government said, even though S&P didn't issue a mass downgrade of subprime-backed securities until halfway through 2007. The mortgages were performing so poorly "that analysts initially thought the data contained typographical errors," according to one document cited in the lawsuit.
In a 2007 email, another analyst said some at S&P wanted to downgrade mortgage investments earlier, "before this thing started blowing up. But the leadership was concerned of p(asterisk)ssing of too many clients and jumping the gun ahead of Fitch and Moody's."
The government, for its part, has been widely criticized for not pursuing financial crisis wrongdoing as doggedly as some might have hoped. Lance Roberts, chief economist at Streettalk Advisors in Houston, Texas, called the lawsuit "about three years too late." "The government's just now getting around to filing a lawsuit?" Roberts said. "It seems disingenuous to me. Why is there actually no regulation that occurs at the front end?"

In this new post from the ServerGrove blog Ismael Ambrosi shows how to create a "cache warmer" for a Symfony2 application - a handy tool that can pre-populate your applications cache with data you specify before it's needed by the app.
The cache is a very important part of your Symfony application as it helps your web server to perform better by not executing unnecessary code on every request, this is especially true if your server is running with limited resources. Cache warming allows you to cache specific data in your application through the use of a CacheWarmer. Symfony 2 includes a cache warmer that helps you to store parts of your application in cache, before the application becomes available to the user.
He shows how to create the "warmup" in an object extending the CacheWarmer to pull in content (in his case, just a text string) and write it out to a cache file automatically. Also included is the config updates you'll need to make to tell the Service Container about the Warmer.

Twitter Implements Forward Secrecy; Says It 'Should Be The New Normal'
from the protecting-your-privacy dept
The Twitter blog post on this actually goes into a fairly detailed discussion about the technology choices they made, and the trade-offs involved. It's pretty clear this wasn't just written by a PR person. That said, security researcher Nicholas Weaver notes some potential issues with Twitter's transport encryption choices, noting that there are some indications that RC4 is no longer secure, even when used in TLS. Hopefully further changes can make it even more secure.
That said, the Twitter blog post makes a key point towards the end, about how greater and greater security, especially against the ability of an entity like the NSA, needs to be "the new normal."
At the end of the day, we are writing this not just to discuss an interesting piece of technology, but to present what we believe should be the new normal for web service owners. A year and a half ago, Twitter was first served completely over HTTPS. Since then, it has become clearer and clearer how important that step was to protecting our users' privacy.
If you are a webmaster, we encourage you to implement HTTPS for your site and make it the default. If you already offer HTTPS, ensure your implementation is hardened with HTTP Strict Transport Security, secure cookies, certificate pinning, and Forward Secrecy. The security gains have never been more important to implement.
